Two injured in ATV, vehicle accident Wednesday night

It is just too early to know what to cut. The school district needs to find close to 900,000 dollars to make up for the 10% cut Gov. Culver ordered on October 8th. Nothing has been cut yet because it is too early to tell, but everything is on the table. Mr. Hood said, “We will do what we think is best. We will work together. It won’t be pleasant or fun. We are here to educate students. We will do our best by the kids with what we get.” This cut is not expected to be a temporary problem. Hood said the numbers have changed three times already and will probably change again.

The state could possibly raise the cut to 15%. School Board Member Randy Hughes commented that the later they make the decision the more accurate that decision that will be.

Their number one priority is the education of the students.

School Board Member Rich Flynn stated, “Our main goal is academics. If we have to make cuts, we’re not doing our job.” Hughes made a very similar statement saying, “Education is an investment, not an expense.” Hughes said they will not cut anything that will effect the education.

The teachers have already cut back. Slight said, “We ask staff to make due with what they have and to save energy.” Teachers are sure to print on both sides of the paper and even use online resources when possible. Freshman Jordyn Walsh told us, “And one other teacher said she wouldn’t reprint our assignment when the words were faded. She said she did not want to waste ink.”

New light bulbs were put in the schools that are more energy efficient. The school is seeing good savings because of these. Business Manager Don Krings said $8,000 has been saved of the general budget because the effect the news lights have had on the electricity bill. Sophomores Corey Bohn and Devon Chapman, Junior Patrick Haugland, and Senior Laura Walter, when asked how the school could save money, said all the lights should be turned off more, especially at night.

No citations were issued after an accident 9:57 p.m. Wednesday on Swigart Street. According to a Creston Police report, Larry Dean Vanderpluym, 52, 1103 N. Birch St., driving a 2012 Yamaha Grizzly 550 ATV east on Swigart, drove into the rear end of a legally parked 1995 Dodge, causing damage to both vehicles and injuring both occupants of the ATV. Julian Albert Rex Allison, 26, 207 N. Birch St., was thrown from the ATV, and Vanderpluym was laying over the handlebars. Vanderpluym and Allison’s condition is unknown at this time. Damage estimates are $8,000 to Vanderpluym’s ATV and $3,000 to the Dodge.

Danger to you Danger to Me

These days there is a new form of danger on the road. It is more dangerous than ice, bad weather and is even right up there on the list with drinking and driving. It is something that occurs even more commonly within your own car.

This dangerous act is texting while driving.

A new study done by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that when drivers text while driving their risk of collision was 23 times higher than if they were not texting. The study showed in cases of these crashes, drivers spend approximately 5 seconds looking away from the road at their phones. This may not seem like such a long time but when driving at highway speeds, this is enough time to cover a length longer than that of a football field.

It is common sense that you should not text while driving so that leaves the question: Why do people do it anyways? Texting while driving CNA photo by SARAH is one of those things that people convince themselves they are capable of doing.

According to sophomore Jake Ward, “When I text and drive, I really don’t have that thought that anything is going to happen to me. I think a lot of teenagers think that way because it is so hard to imagine that such a simple activity could cause so much harm.” You tell

Summer Detour

There are new lights on the Townline Field as well. Mr. Bevins explained that these lights were purchased with a Pebble account, insurance, and through FEMA. Money in the Pebble account cannot be used to pay for teachers salaries, so some of this money was used to pay for the lights. Insurance paid for a portion because they believed it was important for the student safety.

When a community member looks at the school and its spending, it is easy to question the spending choices, however, many activities are self-funded. I-JAG instructor Mrs. McGehee informed us that they are partly funded by Work Force Development. When McGhee was asked about the necessity of the school’s budget being cut she replied, “No, I’m sure there’s other ways we [the state] could help with the budget cut besides taking it away from schools.”

Mr. Mullin is the instructor for the high schools Woods class. This class requires many materials, but the Wood Tech class sells their projects and receives about $100 a year from their sales. During the spring semester the students have to pay for their materials. This class has been impacted by the cut already. Because the budget was frozen, Mullin had to cancel an order of drafting equipment for his drafting class.

Art instructor, Mrs. Fry-Schnormier, has no problem with coming up with money saving ideas for her art class. She smiled and said, “I like to find trash and junk and turn it into treasure.” Fry-Shnormier fears she will struggle with supply ing clay, paints, and inks. Fry-Shnormier explained one of the ways she is being resourceful, she said, “We’re using out dated athletic calendars for a project for fifty students.”

Fine Arts is another area people see as something easily cut. When interviewed Ms. Fischer, the vocal teacher, said, “Money that we have used has come from our vocal activities account which is comprised of money that we earn.

The vocal department doesn’t use general fund money to purchase music and supplies.” This is the case with most activities. The band, at the moment, cannot afford to repair or replace instruments. Music cannot be bought either. Mr. Peters plans on using music from previous years and even sharing music with other directors because of cuts. Bevins said that not only are many activities self-funded, the Booster Club, individual accounts, girls and boys basketball and volleyball all paid for the refinishing of the gym floor.

The Booster Club helps many school activities pay for their needs through funds generated by community support.

Ninety-five students are taking classes out at SWCC this semester. The school provides the funds for SWCC classes.

The total cost for all the classes comes to around $100,000, but the state gives us suplimental money to help off set the cost. The school ends up paying around $30,000-50,000.

The state requires the school to provide vocational classes and many SWCC classes offered are considered vocational.

It would be easy to say that this is an easy thing to cut, but this would really affect education. It is such a great tool that

yourself you know where all the buttons are on your phone so it would only take a couple seconds to look away from the road. Or there’s the reasoning that you absolutely have to text the person back that very minute otherwise they might think you are ignoring them.

“I can’t just leave a message there waiting; I have to check it right then and there.

Every message I get seems extremely important at that moment,” explained Jake.

Many people do not realize the full extent of the danger they are putting not only themselves in, but also other drivers on the road until it is too late. Last year, according to CBS, nearly 6,000 drivers were killed and a half-million injured due to distracted drivers. An eyeopener is that 16 percent of all fatal crashes in 2008 involved at least one form of driver distraction.

Due to the astounding amount of people whom text while driving, many states BROWN are working on banning this practice. According to The Orlando Sentinel, seven states have succeeded in banning texting while driving completely: Alaska, California, Connecticut, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Jersey and Washington. Nine other states have banned new drivers: Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Nebraska, North Carolina,

Oregon, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. Next year, the Iowa legislature is trying to go through with banning the use of cell phones on any Iowa roads. This potential ban has raised many opinions. People feel it is a good idea but it just wouldn’t work for numerous reasons. Parent Crystal Ray mentioned, “I feel the ban won’t help. The police officers have their priorities and they can’t be constantly worrying about catching people texting and driving when there are more serious crimes to catch. We have to stop this on our own. We as parents need to instill in our children the importance of not texting while driving. One look away from the road can kill you or someone else.” Senior Maria Krejci pointed out, “It’s like cops trying to catch people wearing their seatbelts in the dark. It’s too easy to hide.”

Sooner or later people are going to have to realize texting while driving is not acceptable. When the amount of fatal car crashes due to cell phones is close to the same amount of fatal crashes due to bad weather or drinking and driving, that says something needs to be done. Whether it is the easy way or the hard way, the key is getting them to realize what a danger it is to society

Ennis enters race for Iowa House seat

Commuters traveling via Highway 34 over the Platte River will need to find an alternate route soon.

Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) reported the bridge carrying highway 34 over the Platte River — 1.3 miles west of Iowa 25 — closed Wednesday while crews work to replace it.

According to Scott Nixon, IDOT resident construction engineer, the bridge is traveled by more than 2,000 motorists and will reopen as late as early September.

Alternate route During this project, a paved detour directs westbound traffic south on highway 25, west on Taylor County Road J-13 (110th Street) and north on Taylor/ Adams County Road N-64 to highway 34.

Eastbound traffic will be directed south on Adams/ Taylor County Road N-64,

east on Taylor County Road J-13 (110th Street) and north on Iowa 25 to U.S. 34.

Project details Construction crews from Cunningham-Reis Company of Van Meter will also grade and pave approximately 1,500 feet of approach pavement as part of the $2 million bridge replacement.

The Iowa DOT reminds motorists to drive with caution, obey posted speed limit and other signs in the work area, and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations are at least double in work zones.

As in all work zones, drivers should stay alert, allow ample space between vehi-

cles and wear seat belts.

“I already know a lot of people (in the Iowa House and Senate), I am very familiar with the legislative process and I have already developed relationships that will help get stuff done from day one,” Shipley said.

During his campaign, Shipley is making an extra effort to reach out to the rural areas of the district.

“Everyone I have met so far has been receptive to the idea of someone with a rural background to be their senator,” Shipley said.

During his visits, Shipley emphasizes the importance of creating more jobs for the southwest corner of the state.

OPINION Summer is going on in the South

I attended a newspaper conference in Orlando, Fla., this past week. The meeting was at the Coronado Springs resort on the Disney property.

The weather was like summer in full bloom. It was 85 to 90 degrees every day plus lots of sun. We won a few awards at the newspaper meeting and made a presentation before the group of 350 people in attendance.

There were lots of good meetings and seminars to attend.

Disney sure seems to have it figured out. They give you a new magic band to wear on your wrist like a watch. The magic band opens your room door and lets you charge from anywhere on the Disney property.

Whether it was by the pool, at a gift shop or at Downtown Disney,

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

you could charge with a wave of your magic band. Another interesting thing was when you got a cup for your soda, the regular paper cup had some kind of a chip in it that kept track of your number of refills and how long you could use the cup.

You could have three refills over three hours and then your cup “expired.” Every time you refilled your cup, it would tell you how many refills you had left and how much time before the cup “expired.”

I see why people “save for a lifetime” to go to Disney. There are no big discounts on any of the food unless you bought a daily food plan.

I’m not sure that was a bargain either. Most of the entrances into any of the parks were $100 or more — unless of course you want to buy several days at once.

The Magic Kingdom was packed the day we went. Some rides took over an hour to get onto. Our group had an outing one night to SeaWorld. They let us use the Manta roller coaster as part of our outing.

The first group on the ride got stuck almost upside down for over 15 minutes. They had to get a rope ladder and unload about 45 people from the ride. One person ended up going to the hospital with some heart situations. An interesting

evening!

Tax day For all of you who have been waiting to do your taxes, this weekend may be the time. On April 15 the tax man will want his money.

It is never very fun having to write the IRS a check unless of course you got a big lottery check or some fun windfall like that.

Easter Look for a full line up of all the Easter egg hunts going on in the area next week in the newspaper.

The annual event is always a great time for all the kids.

Golf The Masters golf tourney takes place this weekend. It is always a treat for golfers. The winner gets a green jacket and — as with most Iowans — we yell for Zach John-

son to win the event.

Veishea It looks like the event is in trouble again. It seems like every few years they have a bunch of trouble in Ames with the event.

I have a feeling this may be the end of the event. With people in the hospital, overturned cars and a long history of rowdiness, this should just about end the festival.

Captain America If you have a chance, catch the new Captain America movie playing at the Strand Theatre. The movie is a good one. The superheroes plus the good versus evil theme is played out to perfection.

Thought for the week: “When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I’ve never tried before.” Mae West

Al Sharpton admitted he was an FBI mob informant HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Al Sharpton admitted he was an FBI mob informant against New York’s five mob families Monday. Even his enemies are a little worried for him. From now on in New York, whenever Al’s driving his Escalade through Little Italy, it’d be a really good idea if he turns down the bass.

Adolf Hitler’s mistress Eva Braun’s DNA was examined in a lab by a British TV show and it showed Eva was of Jewish ancestry. Now the labs have more work than they can handle. Mel Gibson’s girlfriends are relieved to know they have not been misplacing their hair brushes.

GOP congressman Vance McAllister was shown on hotel security camera footage kissing a female staffer on the hotel driveway after a staff Christmas party in the penthouse. At least they waited until they got off the elevator. Having sex on an elevator is wrong on so many levels.

Pope Francis infuriated Democrats Tuesday declaring that marriage is a union between a man and a woman. It surprised many. The pope issued the ruling a week after he met with President Obama at the Vatican and apparently Obama wasn’t able to teach him anything.

John Kerry warned Tuesday that Vladimir Putin might decide to invade Eastern Ukraine soon. It’s escalating quickly.

President Obama just threatened that if Russia sends troops into Ukraine, he will enroll Vladimir Putin in Obamacare and allow the next head cold to kill him.

Bill Clinton and George W. Bush sat together at the NCAA title game Monday. Some of the

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

player tattoos made them feel guilty. Two decades ago the Clintons and Bushes divided the U.S. into the Red States and Blue States without paying a nickel in royalties to the Crips and Bloods.

President Obama’s low job approval ratings gave House Democrats courage to oppose him on a plan to reduce Medicare coverage. His personal favorability ratings are also at their lowest.

Last night, President Obama got into a fight with Bo and Michelle said the dog was right.

Senator Harry Reid continued his assault on conservative donors with a blistering attack on the Koch brothers Monday.

It’s too inside baseball. Because of the way Koch is pronounced, nine out of ten Democrats just assume that the Koch brothers are John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd.

Hollywood paid its last respects to the great Mickey Rooney at his funeral service at Good Shepherd Church in Beverly Hills.

The sanctuary was packed for one of MGM’s greatest movie stars. Mickey only needed two pallbearers but they had to install extra pews for all his ex-wives.

Grammy Award winner Chris Brown’s attempt to get his latest assault charge dismissed was refused by a Washington D.C. judge on Tuesday. This guy could only make a living as a rap star. What do you say if Chris Brown is your blackjack dealer and you need another card?

Creston Chamber of Commerce Happenings I would like to start this month’s article with a welcome to the three new businesses that are open or opening in Uptown Creston in the month of April – The Old Market, Small Spaces LLC and Changing Pockets. I would also highlight the expansions at Prairie View Assisted Living and Memory Care and Creston Nursing and Rehab Center. The chamber feels the fact that three new businesses in a span of three plus weeks open their doors and two current facilities expand their offerings here highlights what we believe, that Creston is truly a vibrant community and the center for an eight-county region of southwest Iowa. We are very fortunate to have so many people with the entrepreneurial spirit. This positive attitude about Creston is what makes Creston a great place to work and call home.

Paint Creston Program As a reminder, Creston Chamber of Commerce is again offering the Paint Creston Program to a minimum of five Creston homeowners in 2014. This is an opportunity to possibly receive free paint to paint the outside of your home.

Applications for the program are available at the Chamber office, 208 West Taylor/Hwy 34 West, now through May 9. Nineteen homes have been painted in the four years that the program has been in place.

Chamber Annual Report The Creston Chamber of Commerce Annual Report is coming. Please look for it in the April 23 Creston News Advertiser.

This report gives the chamber the opportunity to highlight our activities, accomplishments and membership. The chamber truly appreciates the commitment to Creston of our members and looks forward to this yearly opportunity to acknowledge each and everyone. The chamber understands their importance to our great community. Our chamber membership helps us to promote and showcase Creston. We are truly fortunate.

Homeowners can cut costs with geothermal he winter of 2014 was a wake-up call for homeowners facing higher-than-normal heating costs. With polar vortex cold sweeps, heavy snowfalls and ice blizzards affecting much of the country, energy prices for electri­city, gas and oil have increased. Propane prices have skyrocketed due to scarcity of supplies, leading some governors to declare a state of emergency.

T

loop or water source absorbs stored heat from the ground and carries it indoors. The geothermal heat pumps compress the heat to a higher temperature and distribute it throughout the home. In the summer, the process reverses and the cooler earth absorbs the heat from the home, returning cooler fluid to the heat pump. This is typically cooler than the outside temperatures, providing a reduced load for air conditioning the home.

The hefty costs of heating and cooling

Significant savings for homeowners

Many homeowners, concerned that energy prices for air condi­tion­ing this summer could be just as high, followed by yet another tough winter, are looking for alternative sources for heating and cooling. Higher performing, energy-efficient heating and cooling products are available, but they are still dependent on fossil fuels. Renewable forms of energy like solar and wind won’t solve the problem. Such sources don’t work all the time and require backup in the form of a conven­tional heating-cooling system, so the dependence on high cost fossil fuels remains.

The geothermal system uses a small amount of electricity to run the heat pumps, so homeowners will see a sizeable reduction in the cost of energy for heating and cooling each year. Geothermal systems are recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as the most efficient heating-cooling system of all (saving up to 70 percent on energy bills) and they come with a federal tax incentive rebate of 10 percent of total install costs which can be com­bined with state and local incentives that can save up to 40 per­cent of the total cost of the system.

Most of the cost to install a geothermal system is centered on the costs to drive bore holes into the earth and the installation of the loop. Thereafter, operating costs are typically low enough to show a return on investment within a decade or less. The loop infrastruc­ture lasts around half a century and the heat pump, which has few moving parts, has an operating life expectancy of 25 years.

Energy from the ground up However, there is a viable renewable solution. It’s called geo­thermal and its energy source is the very earth beneath our feet. Because the earth absorbs 50 percent of the sun’s energy — more than 500 times more energy than mankind needs every year — there is an abundant power source in the earth to tap for heating and cooling. Geothermal systems transfer this heat from a home during the cooling season and return it to the earth during the heating season.

Geothermal is possible because the temperature of the earth at 4 to 6 feet below ground remains relatively constant year-round.

“A geothermal system is the answer to today’s and tomorrow’s high energy prices,” says Lyndal Moore, National Geothermal Sales Manager for Bosch, a manufacturer of geothermal heat pumps. “But that’s just the beginning. Homeowners and home­buyers need to consider the long-term benefits of living in a home equipped with a geothermal system. It’s not just the return on investment that should be considered, but rather the comfort, quietness, longevity and environmentally friendly nature of geothermal.”

How geothermal systems work A geothermal system is accomplished through the installation of what’s called a “heat exchange loop” in the ground, either directly beneath a house or in the homeowner’s yard. If a well or pond is available, the loop can be installed in the water and connected to the house in the same manner.

This in-ground or water-source loop is connected to one or more heat pumps inside the house.

In the winter, the fluid circulating through the earth

With a geothermal system, there is no fossil fuel use, no green­house gas emissions, few maintenance issues, and because the loop is underground and the heat pumps are located inside the house, the system is not susceptible to weather or storm damage.

Plus, geothermal systems are exceptionally quiet in operation.

Bosch Thermotechnology manufactures geothermal heat pumps for use in residential and commercialsize buildings. A focus on geothermal for Bosch is in keeping with the inter­national com­pany’s commitment to preserving the environment and creating a sustainable future for our children.

Horizontal ground loop systems are used where there is sufficient space.

Vertical ground loop systems are used where space is limited.

Beauty with a Budget

The Pri$e of Prom Taylor Suiter

Taylor Rice

Prom, it is the event that most juniors and seniors look forward to all year. Planning begins months or even a year before the actual event. From finding the perfect dress, to getting a cute “promposal”.

Although it maybe just a dance to some people, for others it is truly a night to remember.

For upperclassmen it is a day to feel elegant and make memories with friends that you will never forget.

However, this wonderful night can be quite the financial burden. Do people actually realize how much money they are spending for one night? Is it really worth spending hundreds of dollars on one night?

Many people don’t realize when they spend a little here and there it really does add up in the end. Prom is supposed to be a night for friends to spend together before they set off on new life adventures, not a competition of who can look the best by spending the most.

For girls the first things that come to mind when they think of prom is of course, the dress.

When imagining their dream gown, the price usually isn’t in the picture. There is no shame in spending money, but it is not the only option even though it might seem that way.

There are many ways to save when it comes to looking for a dress. If you are looking to spend as little as possible, borrowing is the way to go.

Whether it is from a friend or family member it is a perfect way to get a beautiful dress without the big price tag.

Prom swaps on Facebook are becoming a new trend. Selling and buying gently used prom dresses is a new way make money as well as get a dress for a lower price. It might cause a little travel, but in the end it would be worth the trip.

To go along with the perfect dress every girl wants the perfect hair. Everyone loves to get pampered every now and then, but if it is not in your budget there is no need to panic.

Having a friend help you or simply doing your hair yourself can turn out just as well. Remember, practice makes perfect, no one wants to have a hair disaster the morning of the big day.

If you are looking for an inexpensive way to glam up your look, accessories are the way to go.

From nails to jewelry the possibilities are endless. A

simple necklace or earring could be an easy way to add a little to your look without taking a lot from your wallet.

Be unique when its comes to shopping for your jewlery places such as antique stores and department stores often have bold jewlery with bargain prices.

Bringing a wallet or clutch to prom is a low cost way to bring a little more bling to your look as well as carrying all of your necessities.

Having somewhere to put your phone, lip gloss, and even perfume can always come in handy.

When getting your nails done try getting a solid color in order to save a little while still getting a glamorous result. Another easy way to save is to do your nails at home or even have a decorating party with friends.

Flowers are a key accessory for every couple at prom. Whether you are looking to splurge or save a little, it all depends on what you are wanting. The price depends on how much you are willing to spend, along with what you have in mind for your arrangement.

An expense for both boys an girls that sometimes gets looked over are after prom tshirts.

Spend your money wisely when it comes to your shirts makes sure it is something you and your date both agree on. However, no need to feel guilty for spending a little you can always rewear and reuse your shirts.

Preparing for prom can take a lot, but that doesn’t mean it needs to cost a lot. Finding ways to make your night picture perfect in inexpensive ways can make it memorable as well as affordable.

Years from now when you look back on your Junior and Senior proms are you really going to remember your dress, hair and makeup?

Or are you going to remember spending the night with your best friends dancing the night away? It’s up to you.

One shooter and that sets them off to actually enact that event. student remained quiet and the other tried to Too many of us do not give others a correct the situation. By this time, it was too chance. We see how they are dressed, how they late. The words already stung.

There are students and other persons get updated security features and system to prepare faculty members and students in the case here in the high school who are stereotyped, insulted, and hurt on a daily basis and are left of a school shooting.

And I am not the me, know I am not the type of person to do a only student to have been insulted and hurt by school shooting. For those of you who have said such a remark.

Creston High School Fine Arts Fest Sunday, April 6th @Creston Middle School Starts at 2 PM Kim Alley

There are many talented fine arts students at CHS and often times the public doesn’t get to see them or their work. The year is filled up with competitions, art shows, and performances. Students work year round to prepare themselves for these showings.

The Creston community gets one chance to see the hard work pay off in our own town.

The Creston Fine Arts Fest allows community members to watch and listen to some of this towns most talented students perform. Many of these students rarely ever perform for their peers, this opportunity allows CHS fine arts students to show off their talents.

To seniors this night means more than can be described. For some, it is the last time they will ever perform doing what they love and have worked incredibally hard to reach their goals these past four years. The CHS winterguard will be using this night as their senior night for the four graduating seniors.

Five dollars for an entry fee allows the audience full acceptance for all acts, and a free dessert bar with drinks. The money raised goes towards new band uniforms, new instruments, and the upcoming trip to Orlando Florida to perform at Walt Disney World.

Sunday at 2:00 pm, the Creston Middle School will open its doors allowing the public to finally see how much CHS students can shine.

quest to build a more perfect union, former President Bill Clinton cautioned Wednesday that the historic law’s gains are being threatened by a rising tide in the politics of exclusion.

Closing the second day of the three-day Civil Rights Summit, Clinton lauded the “pivotal, brilliant leadership” of President Lyndon B. Johnson, who ignored cautious advisers and cajoled a balky Congress into passing a law that continues to change the country for the better.

“He sensed opportunity, and he felt an obligation,” Clinton told a packed audience at the LBJ Presidential Library.

Johnson’s achievement reminded Clinton of another president, Abraham Lincoln, who toiled to push Congress into action on another landmark, the 13th Amendment, which abol-

presidency to redeem the promise of America.”

But Clinton warned that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of the following year, which sought to improve participation in the political process, are being undermined by voter ID laws and efforts to restrict access to the ballot box.

“Any time you erect a barrier to the political participation that disproportionately affects people based on race, based on physical capacity or income … it undermines the spirit of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act,” he said to applause.

Clinton also blasted the 2013 U.S. Supreme Court decision that overturned a key section of the Voting Rights Act, which had required states with a history of racial discrimination, including Texas, to seek federal

It is ironic, Clinton said, that the country is so deeply divided shortly after the human genome was mapped, revealing that every person is “genetically 99.5 percent the same. Why are we risking the future of this great experiment, the wide horizons that Lyndon Johnson and his colleagues opened to us, while spending 99.5 percent of our time on that half-percent that is different?”

Clinton began his halfhour speech on a more positive vein, noting that his presidency and those of Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama were made possible by the Civil

“Fifty years ago, we were two decades past the great victory won by the United States and its allies in World War II, a long and bloody struggle for freedom throughout the world. Yet two decades later, millions of our brothers and sisters — many of whom had themselves fought in that war — were still denied basic freedoms,” Clinton said.

New signal detected in VEISHA celebration canceled following riot — riots in 1988, 1992, 1999 jury after being hit by a dar Falls Courier (Waterhunt for Malaysia Airline IowaAMESState (MCT) loo, Iowa) University and 2004, a man was toppled light pole.

BEIJING (MCT) — An Australian military plane participating in the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 on Thursday detected an underwater acoustic signal that may be from the Boeing 777’s black boxes, Australian authorities said.

The P-3 Orion has been dropping buoys equipped with hydrophones that can pick up such signals and transmit them back to the aircraft. The buoys have been dropped in the area of the Indian Ocean where the Australian ship Ocean Shield, towing a “pinger locator” lent by the U.S. Navy, has four times picked up acoustic signals that investigators believe are being transmitted from the jet’s black boxes.

“The acoustic data will require further analysis overnight but shows potential of being from a man-made source,” Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, who is coordi-

nating search efforts out of Perth, Australia, said in a statement.

Thursday’s search team consisted of up to 10 military planes, four civil aircraft and 13 ships. Searchers have yet to find any debris from the jet, which disappeared March 8 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people aboard. The search was centered about 1,400 miles northwest of Perth and covered an area of about 22,000 square miles.

With batteries on the black box pingers expected to run out very soon, investigators are eager to detect as many signals as possible to narrow the search field before deploying underwater vehicles to look for wreckage.

on Wednesday canceled the rest of this week’s Veishea celebration after a riot the previous night seriously injured one student and left another black eye on the historic event.

ISU President Steven Leath announced the cancellation and is creating a task force to look at how -- if at all -- Veishea will continue in the future.

“We cannot have any more property destroyed or incidents of this nature,” Leath said.

Veishea, which takes its name from the first letters of the ISU colleges that existed in 1922 when the event originated, is an annual springtime celebration aimed at showcasing the ISU community through educational and entertainment events.

Despite its origins and family-friendly activities, Veishea has a history of “ugly” incidents, Leath said. There were

stabbed to death on a fraternity house lawn during in 1997. The event was canceled in 2005.

Leath said that history weighed into the administration’s decision to suspend the remaining events this week.

Even if VEISHEA does survive this review, Leath said, the likelihood of it continuing in its current form is “very, very small.”

“These issues have to go away,” he said.

Leath expressed extreme sadness and embarrassment about having to cancel a week of events that many hardworking students and community members have been preparing for all year. But, he said, student and community safety must come first.

He expressed condolences to the student injured during the late-night riot, along with his family members and friends.

The student, whose name hasn’t been made public, suffered a severe head in-

He remained in stable condition in intensive care in a Des Moines hospital Wednesday, according to Leath. Doctors are watching him closely, hopeful he’ll make a full recovery, Leath said.

Authorities are following up on a huge amount of information about who was involved in the overnight riot, and Leath said involved students could face criminal charges and ISU disciplinary action -- including expulsion.

Ames police said they have made two arrests associated with the riot, and they’re continuing to look for those involved in the vandalism, including the incident that severely injured the student.

Cmdr. Geoff Huff said it’s too early to tell for certain, but he does not believe the student injured by the light pole was directly involved in bringing it down.

A moving plan Dear Heloise: We are moving out of state this summer and wonder if you have some hints to help make the MOVING EXPERIENCE as positive as possible. — Christine P. in Indiana You bet! I have several hints to help make the move easier. Start by stocking up on packing supplies and boxes for all the items you wish to pack yourself. The supplies may include newspapers, packing tape, boxes, etc.

Start as soon as possible. Go through everything, discarding or donating the things you no longer need or want. You don’t want to move things you don’t need!

Label packed boxes clearly with the items that are inside and the room the items belong in. This way, at the other end, the boxes can be placed in the correct room before unpacking.

Finally, make lists of all the utilities you need to cancel and start up in the new place.

— Heloise P.S.: Keep a list handy of the things you need to do. It’s amazing how a simple chore like checking the attic or basement carefully will fall by the wayside.

Horoscope Friday, April 11, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Secrets are a big part of your day-today, and for some of you, this will be a secret love affair. All of you feel private about your innermost feelings.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today you feel sympathetic toward someone. This person could be a friend or an acquaintance in a group situation. If you can help this person, you will.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today you might fall in love with your boss or get a crush on someone in a position of authority. But it’s all smoke and mirrors; you are seduced by their glamour.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened today, give yourself a chance to see beautiful things. Visit parks, art galleries, museums and beautiful architectural buildings.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your feelings of sympathy for someone who is less fortunate are strong today. Romantically speaking, you are inclined to fall in lust with someone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Important conversations with partners and close friends will be mutually sympathetic today. Your antennae are out.

You are sensitive to what they need, and vice versa.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re ready to help someone at work today, especially a co-worker, because you feel genuinely kind to others. In turn, someone might offer to help you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A budding romance could blossom today, or perhaps a new crush might develop. However, this is a creative, artistic day for many of you. Enjoy!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If shopping for something for home or family, you might go overboard with luxurious elegance. This is great, as long as you can afford it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might spend time daydreaming today or being lost in fantasy. That’s OK. We all need time off for good behavior.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) In financial matters, make sure you have the correct information. It’s easy to see things as you want them to

be today instead of how they actually are. If you don’t have the money, you don’t have the money. Factoid.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You feel selfless today, and closer to others because you understand where they’re coming from. It’s easy for you to be sympathetic and imagine yourself in someone else’s shoes.

YOU BORN TODAY You are most comfortable being part of a decision-making team.

You’re a straight-talker who shoots from the hip. Because

you understand ideas, words and what others want, you can be an excellent mediator. Your year ahead is one of growth and testing. Don’t make major changes just yet. Strengthen your finances. Build or construct something in order to prepare for next year.

Embiid to NBA LAWRENCE, Kansas — Kansas freshman center Joel Embiid announced Wednesday he will enter the NBA draft.

The 7-foot Cameroon native averaged 11.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks this past season, and was considered the front-runner to be taken No. 1 in the June draft until a back injury forced him to sit out the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments.

“I just want to thank the coaching staff, my teammates, the fans, my mentor, everybody that has helped me through my journey,” said Embiid, who was accompanied by coach Bill Self.

Multiple NBA executives believe Embiid still has a chance to go first overall, but it’s dependent on the medical testing that comes back at the Chicago predraft camp and also when he visits teams.

Hamilton out SEATTLE — Josh Hamilton’s attempt to beat out an infield grounder with a headfirst slide into first base landed him on the bench for up to two months.

The 2010 AL MVP was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday by the Los Angeles Angels with a torn ligament in his left thumb. He was hurt trying to hustle down the line and beat out a grounder in the seventh inning of Tuesday night’s loss to Seattle.

Los Angeles said an MRI Wednesday revealed a complete tear of the thumb’s ulnar collateral ligament. After initially saying hand and wrist specialist Dr. Steven Shin would operate at Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedics in Los Angeles, the Angels said Hamilton will be examined by Shin on Friday to determine whether surgery is needed.

Hamilton was placed on the 15-day disabled list, and outfielder J.B. Shuck was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake.

‘Princess’ dies Lacey Holsworth, an 8-year-old cancer patient known as “Princess Lacey” who forged a bond with theMichigan State basketball team and star forward Adreian Payne, died late Tuesday, the family said.

Her father, Matt Holsworth, told The Associated Press that Lacey died at their St. Johns, Mich., home “with her mommy and daddy holding her in their arms.”

Lacey Holsworth had neuroblastoma, a fetalnerve cell cancer, and wore a blond wig because chemotherapy caused her to lose her hair. She met Payne two years ago while she was in the hospital for a cancer treatment and struck an immediate bond with him.

Back pain while dancing in 2011 led to the discovery of a football-sized tumor that had engulfed her kidney. After another tumor wrapped around her spine, her father had to carry her into a hospital on Dec. 28, 2011. She lost feeling below her belly button and couldn’t walk on her own for several months, a long stretch that included the first of many visits from Payne.

Big expectations for Panther golfers

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

Coming off a season that saw the Creston/OrientMacksburg boys golf team claim the Class 2A state championship, along with Carson Whittington winning the individual state championship, there’s plenty to be excited about this year for head coach Jan Lesan.

Four of the six golfers from that state championship team return this year, losing only Trey Thomsen and Kainen Somers to graduation.

Whittington, Christian Groumoutis, Sam Hartsock and Hunter Sickels all return.

“Four great kids that love this game,” Lesan said.

“You don’t have to force them to be out here. Then our fifth kid is Coleton Hoepker, who lost in a playoff not to be on that team. So really, we have five kids that are playing very, very tough right now.”

One of the big reasons for Creston/O-M’s success last year was the high level of competition between team members just to make the varsity lineup.

That looks to be a strength of this year’s team as well, with a host of golfers capable of cracking the varsity lineup on any given day.

“We have Maxx Walters and Evan Nielsen going for those top six (spots),” Lesan said. “Then we have Nick Noecker and Jaaron Kautz, who should be there. We have two freshmen who are looking real good, and those are Kyle Somers and Mi-

chael Stults.”

state.”

Competition

Repeat

The Panther golfers can’t lose focus, even for a little bit, or there could very well be someone stepping up to take their spot on the varsity lineup.

“I feel like we have a lot of depth still with our JV team,” Sickels said.

“We’re going to have a lot of competition with our qualifying rounds. It will be good for us to keep that great feeling going into meets.”

“I feel like that’s what gets us to where we are,” W h i t tington added.

“Perfect practice m a k e s Whittington perfect, so I think that helps.”

Whittington said the competition for the top spots on varsity will be just as vital as the competition for the final spots on the varsity lineup.

“I think Christian is stepping it up a bunch from last year,” he said.

“I think he’s going to be the one or Groumoutis two man the whole year. He’s stepped it up a lot. Sam, Hunter and I, we have the experience. It’s going to be nice having that experience going into sectionals, districts and

The big question surrounding this Panther golf team is can it repeat as state champion?

“What I’ve been hearing a lot about is ‘are you guys going to repeat? Are you guys going to do it again?’”

Sickels said. “It’d be great to. We’ve got a great shot.

We want to be that top team again. It’s as simple as that.

We want to win.”

When Whittington wrote down his career goals as a freshman, he listed winning an individual state championship twice and winning a team title.

“I’ve still got those goals in mind,” he said. “We want to be right back there. We want to get a repeat.”

Lesan said the conference tournament could provide a good test for the Panthers, who will be traveling to a course they have not seen in the past.

“Denison is an awesome course, so we’ve got to get up there and play,” she said.

“We’re not going to get up there and play it for the first time and do awesome. Atlantic, Kuemper and Harlan will be in it there, too. There will be some good competition.”

July 4 campsites The Fourth of July holiday is in the reservation window for state park campsites and while there are currently plenty of options, campers shouldn’t wait as sites can go quickly.

“Our parks have a lot to offer and no two parks are the same. If your favorite park has filled, give a different park a try,” said Todd Coffelt, chief of state parks for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

To find a campsite, go to http://iowastateparks.reserveamerica.com/ As of Tuesday morning, reservable campsites with electricity have been filled at Clear Lake, Elinor Bedell, Emerson Bay, Gull Point, Lake Macbride and Lewis and Clark. Campers wanting to stay in those parks for the holiday will need to arrive early to secure a walk in site.

A few other state parks are close to filling reserved sites.

Ledges and McIntosh Woods each have one reservable handicap site available.

Viking Lake has one electrical site; Lake of Three Fires has two; George Wyth, Lake Wapello, Maquoketa Caves and Stone have three; and Green Valley has four. Dolliver Memorial, Union Grove and Wapsipinicon each have five electrical sites; Backbone and Lake Manawa have six; and Bellevue has seven.

Sickels to compete in Australia this summer

By SCOTT VICKER CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews. com

Creston/Orient-Macksburg senior golfer Hunter Sickels will become the second Panther golfer in as many years to compete overseas when he travels to Australia this summer to participate in a Ryder Cup Tournament through Down Under Sports.

The tournament takes place on the Gold Coast of Australia. Sickels will leave for the tournament on July 4.

He will be competing on the West Central Conference Team, which represents the Midwest region of the United States.

“There will be teams f r o m Australia and N e w Z e a land, as well as other t e a m s Sickels f r o m around the United States,” Sickels said.

Sickels said he was surprised when he received year’s team.

Hance is a dual-sport athlete with track and field and Palser is a dual participant with soccer.

“Sarah Waigand is our senior leading us, but then we have Madison Hance and

the invite, but is excited to have this opportunity.

“It’s a big honor,” he said. “It was pretty surprising, shocking. I’m honored to represent my country, my state and my team. It will be fun. A great experience.”

The competition itself is a two-day 36-hole Ryder Cup format tournament.

In addition to playing in the tournament in Australia, Sickels said he’ll get to do some tourism and learn about the culture. The participants will also get to spend three days playing golf in Hawaii on their way back from Australia.

Sickels is the second Panther golfer chose to compete internationally in the past two years. Senior Carson Whittington was selected to play at St. Andrews in Scotland last summer.

The Panther senior is nearing his fundraising goal to pay for the trip, but said he still has a little bit more money to raise.

Sickels said anyone wishing to help sponsor his trip can either get ahold of him, his parents Thad and Sandi or Creston/OM head golf coach Jan Lesan.

Nice is on the French Riveria, about 20 miles from the site of the Cannes Film Festival and Monaco Grand Prix. The Dauphins won Saturday’s game, 26-19.

should be pretty strong.”

Two new golfers on the team this year are sophomore Camryn Somers and junior Hannah Hagle.

“Camryn Somers, who is in her first year of golfing, but an athlete,” Lesan said. “She’s learning fast and wants to compete. Then Hannah Hagle has come out, also. Again, a beginner, but she listens and tries.”

Needing four golfers to score in team competitions, Lesan noted that the biggest key for the girls team this year will be getting the whole team together for

competition.

“If we can get them all there, they should be in the middle of the pack to the upper pack,” she said.

“Madison was medalist a few times (last year) and Shelby was right behind her.

Sarah is hitting a ton out of the ball. If we can get one more score in there, they should do pretty good.”

The Hawkeye 10 Conference girls meet is at Fox Run in Council Bluffs this year.

“Kuemper will be tough,” Lesan said. “Atlantic lost one good girl, but when I talked to her the other day, they should be a contender

in there, too.”

The Panthers open Thursday, with the boys hosting Atlantic at Pine Valley and the girls traveling to Atlantic.

No clear Masters favorite with Tiger Woods out

By DAN WIEDERER Chicago Tribune (MCT)

AUGUSTA, Ga. — The echoes within the Augusta National pines provided evidence Wednesday that the excitement of the 78th Masters was kicking up. The annual par-3 tournament produced its usual crowdpleasing theatrics — from the aces delivered by Matt Jones, Buddy Alexander and Mark O’Meara to the dialed-in, six-birdie victory claimed by Ryan Moore.

But the serious business begins Thursday with 97 players teeing it up and many quite eager to see just how wide open the doors to contending will be.

Fingering an obvious favorite seems as difficult as ever, particularly with the absence of the world No. 1 Tiger Woods. Two-time major champion Rory McIlroy, ranked No. 9, was asked how many players have a le-

“I would say 70,” McIlroy said. “There’s a few past champions who play that might not be able to compete. There might be a few first-timers or a few amateurs that won’t compete.

But then you’ve got the rest.”

So, yeah, it would be wise to keep a close eye on Adam Scott, the defending champ and current Vegas favorite.

And watch out for Henrik Stenson, No. 3 in the world and confident with his game.

But don’t overlook Jason Day or Dustin Johnson or Matt Kuchar or, well, about five dozen other players who could make serious noise over the next four days.

Even NAPA has hitched up to Chase.

Where do you rank Darlington on your alltime favorite tracks?

GODSPEAK: The track “too tough to tame” has a special place in my heart.

KEN’S CALL: Behind Augusta National, ahead of Churchill Downs. In modern NASCAR, I’m torn between Darlington and Richmond.

Are you on that Chase Elliott bandwagon yet?

GODSPEAK: I’ve been on the “Chasewagon” ever since he tested at Daytona with his daddy in January.

KEN’S CALL: Good grief, even Kevin Harvick was happy for him.

Remember way back, when Tony Stewart was worried about adding a fourth Sprint Cup team to the Stewart-Haas Racing stable in 2014?

Those fears and doubts must have abated in recent weeks, since the team has notched two wins, and Stewart surprised even himself by winning the pole at Texas.

Stewart’s hire, Kevin Harvick, won at Phoenix the week after the Daytona 500, while co-owner Gene Haas’ hire, Kurt Busch, grabbed the checkered flag at Martinsville.

Two wins over the first six Cup races have everybody at Stewart-Haas whistling, including Stewart, the team worrywart.

“The whole organization has been doing an awesome job,” Stewart said.

“This is the first time I have been able to do something impressive for the team, so I’m excited about that. We have got a good year started. To get two of our cars wins already … for us to get a pole … that is something that we are pretty proud of right now.”

Stewart is still on the mend after pulverizing his right leg in a sprintcar crash in August.

After numerous surgeries and countless hours of rehab, the threetime Cup champion has an optimistic outlook for ’14.

“The good thing is it’s not just one team,” Stewart said. “I don’t know that we can really point to one thing, to be truthful. I think it is early in the year. I think the atmosphere at our shop is really good right now.”

Associated Press/LARRY PAPKE

Junior’s hot start to 2014 got even hotter at Texas, but not by design.

He flamed out on the first greenflag lap.

Is Junior blind?

Well, not technically, but when Junior Earnhardt straps into the cockpit of his No. 88 racecar, there’s most definitely a blind spot. He admitted as much Monday when he inadvertently ran off the track at Texas, nipped a little sod and was shot into the outside wall on the first green-flag lap. That’s when his car caught fire and, like the TV ratings to follow, was doused.

involved in all those sibling pairings.

TINY VICTORIES It seems like eons ago that 20-year-old Trevor Bayne won the 2011 Daytona 500 in the No. 21 Ford for Wood Brothers Racing. Bayne, who is competing in a Roush Fenway Ford for the Nationwide Series championship, qualified seventh and finished 19th at Texas. Bayne runs a part-time Cup schedule with Len and Eddie Wood’s operation. “That was cool,” he said of his time-trial run. “It’s great that the Wood Brothers can bring cars like this when we don’t run full time and be able to come out here and contend with these guys.”

Ironically, Bayne lost ground from the start to finish of NASCAR’s new qualifying system. “It was really cool to be in the top two the first round, sixth in the second round and seventh in the third round. We didn’t go the right way directionally, but to be in contention in every round was really cool.”

Can blindness be labeled an unintended consequence?

If not unintended, certainly unfortunate. All of the advances in cockpit and chassis safety have resulted in the prescribed safety advances, but not without some visibility issues. Running so closely behind Aric Almirola, Junior took a little look to the inside to consider a pass, but instead hit the grass and then the wall. We’ve heard drivers complain in recent years about a loss of peripheral vision due to new seat technology, but this is the first time the A-pillar has been blamed for such a thing.

Lessons learned?

Probably nothing Junior doesn’t already know, but here are a few to consider: 1. Become a little more familiar with the track; the arrival of a grass field shouldn’t be a surprise; 2.

If there’s any doubt whatsoever, don’t pass on the inside when there’s grass; and 3. Next time, qualify ahead of Aric Almirola.

DALE EARNHARDT JR.

Kyle and Kurt Busch have a footnote in the Cup record book as the brothers with the most back-to-back victories in the history of NASCAR’s marquee tour. When Kyle won at Fontana, Calif., and Kurt finished first at Martinsville it was the sixth time they had turned the brother double. They lead the Flock brothers, Tim, Fonty and Bob, by one win.

The Flocks had five back-to-back triumphs back in the day. Tim was

Dale Earnhardt Jr. vs. Jamie McMurray: Yes, the Odd Couple when it comes to feuding and such, but McMurray is still fuming about Junior wrecking him at Martinsville.

Godwin Kelly gives his take: “NASCAR’s new emphasis on winning has turned up the heat for all drivers, including these mild-mannered stockcar jockeys.”

Flaw places Internet Creston Special security at higher risk Olympics team SAN FRANCISCO (MCT) — The discovery of a significant flaw in software that was supposed to provide extra protection for thousands of websites has thrown the tech world into chaos as experts scrambled to understand the scope of the vulnerability.

Consumers started to receive a trickle of notices from services they use online alerting them to potential issues and recommended steps, such as changing passwords. But given the scope of the issue, security experts projected that it could take years to sew up all the holes created by the Heartbleed bug.

“This is one of the worst security issues we’ve seen in the last decade and will remain within the top 5 for many years to come,” said Adam Ely, founder and chief operating officer of Bluebox Security.

Jeff Forristal, Bluebox chief technical officer: “OpenSSL is extremely pervasive on all manners of devices, systems and servers. It is going to take the ecosystem significant time to get everything updated, and we will be looking at a long tail situation that could easily extend into years.”

Heartbleed is a vulnerability in OpenSSL, a technology used to provide encryption of an estimated 66 percent of all servers on the public Internet. OpenSSL is an opensource code developed and maintained by a community

of developers, rather than by a single company.

The vulnerability was discovered separately last week

by Neel Mehta, a security researcher at Google Inc., and a team of engineers at Codenomicon, a security website that has since created a site with information about Heartbleed.

On Tuesday, Tumblr, owned by Yahoo Inc., disclosed that it had been hit by Heartbleed and urged users to change not just the password for its site but for all others.

Signaling just how much uncertainty and confusion surrounds the glitch, security experts warned that such a gesture might actually be useless because if a site has not fixed the problem hackers could just as easily steal the new password.

“The scope of this is immense,” said Kevin Bocek, vice president of security strategy and threat intelligence for Venafi, a Salt Lake City cybersecurity company.

“And the consequences are still scary. I’ve talked about this like a ‘Mad Max’ moment.

It’s a bit of anarchy right now.

Because we don’t know right now who has the keys and certificates on the Internet right now.”

But Internet users now face a dilemma: How do they know they can trust a site?
