A group of children experience touching an American alligator from the Blank Park Zoo Tuesday night at Southwestern Community College.

Week of the Young Child More than 200 children attended Blank Park Zoo’s educational outreach program at Southwestern Community College Tuesday night. A rouen duck, blue and yellow macaw, and nine-banded armadillo were exhibited by education specialist Matthew Card, plus children got the chance to touch an American alligator. This event is part of Week of the Young Child April 12-18.

Creston Hy-Vee will be Southwestern Community College’s new food service provider in the fall, after the SWCC Board of Directors approved a two-year contract with the local grocery store at Tuesday’s meeting.

Treat America has been SWCC’s food service provider for the past decade. But with its second five-year contract coming to a close, the board decided in March to open up bids.

After considering bids

by Treat America, Consolidated Management Company and Hy-Vee, Hy-Vee became the recommended frontrunner.

“I think it’s a good opportunity for us to work with a local partner,” Barb Crittenden, SWCC president, said at the meeting.

Although Hy-Vee isn’t a big name in the business of institutional food services, Crittenden noted that the Hy-Vee in Sheldon, Iowa, provides food service for Northwest Iowa Community College.

Chuck Irelan, store director, will manage the food service, along with a SWCC site manager who has yet to be named.

Irelan said he is glad to

be able to work with such an important part of the Creston community like SWCC. “I’m very excited about it,” he said. “For us to be able to partner and have a mutually beneficial relationship for the two of us— they’re going to get a quality food Irelan for a good price, and we’re going to be able to increase our visibility and our sales.”

Irelan said that while SWCC’s food service system itself won’t change, some of the food offerings will, as Hy-Vee uses the foods that are available in its Creston store.

He said that Hy-Vee will also be able to offer more hot foods than it does in its store because of the equipment available at SWCC. The board approved the proposed two-year contract with the option to renew for additional two-year extensions.

Educators frustrated with school funding deadlock DES MOINES (AP) — When Paul Gausman submitted a budget proposal recently for the Sioux City school district he helps oversee as superintendent, he had his staff prepare budgets that took into account multiple financing scenarios because they were missing a key detail: how much administrators can actually spend.

“We know that it’s possible that none of those scenarios that we’ve created will come true, and so we have to then go back in and recreate from whatever the exact number is ... it makes

our work very, very challenging for us,” he said.

Gausman is in limbo over funding for the upcoming school year on staffing, programming and expenses like updated textbooks. A similar situation is playing out for school districts across Iowa, as the state Legislature continues to be at an impasse over how much supplemental state aid is available for education funding in the fiscal year that begins on July 1. A difference of about $50 million is holding things up.

The issue has clouded the

session as lawmakers are deadlocked, and a deadline Wednesday for school districts to have preliminary approval of their budgets seems to be doing little to prod lawmakers into action.

The state plans to spend at least $2.9 billion on K-12 education for the upcoming fiscal year, according to the bipartisan Legislative Services Agency. Democrats, who originally proposed more than $200 million in additional funding, have lowered their push to about $150 million but say it’s less than ideal spending for ed-

Center.

Tom Lesan, vice president of economic development at SWCC, said only one of the three companies who sent bids met SWCC’s specifications: Laerdal Medical, with a bid of $232,330.30. The board approved Laerdal’s bid.

With this money, SWCC will be purchasing two SimMan Essentials, one for each room, as well as three nursing mannequins for the approved amount.

Lesan said Laerdal’s bid was still well under the $310,549 budget for the sim lab equipment, which would leave room for the purchase of other less expensive equipment items in the future.

Structural remodeling on the simulation lab began last month after the board approved a bid by Winterstein Construction of Creston and a quote by Camblin

Mechanical from Atlantic.

When completed, the simulation lab in the Allied Health and Science Center will house the full-body wireless patient simulators for the nursing education program.

The project is expected to be finished in time for the fall 2015 semester.

In other SWCC news: • The board tentatively approved plans for the renovations of a 200-bay hallway in the Instructional Center.

The renovations will include installation of sprinklers, opening windows and LED lights, as well as expansion of the restrooms to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible.

The board will hold a public hearing at its May meeting.

• The board approved early retirement for Barbara Burkhiser, administrative secretary at the Red Oak Center; Tom Dunphy, math instructor; and Brenda Sickels, housekeeper.

Inquiry:

Children patiently wait to ask a question about a nine-banded armadillo exhibited by Blank Park Zoo Education Specialist Matthew Card at Southwestern Community College Tuesday night.

Low-lying dams drown hundreds of unsuspecting victims DES MOINES (AP) — For the better part of a century, submerged dams were workhorses of the American heartland, harnessing the power of rivers to run grain mills, generate electricity and keep lakes and ponds full of water as a hedge against drought.

These walls of concrete, called low-head dams for their minimal profile, outlasted their original purpose long ago. Today, they are better known for creating the type of wide, smooth waterway that invites city planners to turn an urban river into rustic recreational space.

But beneath the seemingly gentle cascades and quiet rumble, the dams hide a sinister secret: They have dragged hundreds of unsuspecting swimmers and boaters into their churning waters and drowned them, sometimes within sight of busy sidewalks and cafes.

“The builders of these dams have created a very elegant trap for human beings,”

said Nate Hoogeveen, who heads river programs for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

Now a spike in deaths is inciting a debate about whether the dams should be ripped out, even if it means letting scenic riverbanks turn to mud.

Since the 1950s, at least 441 people have died at 235 low-head dams in 38 states, according to researchers at Brigham Young University.

More than one-third of the deaths have occurred in Iowa, Minnesota and Pennsylvania.

Other top states for low-head dam deaths include Illinois, California, Maryland, Ohio, Texas and Virginia.

About half of those deaths occurred in the past 15 years — a period when many cities have sought to repurpose their rivers into picturesque attractions that would draw tourists and shoppers to business districts. Many rivers once used mostly by fishermen are now teeming with kayakers and rowing teams and used as the site for sum-

mer festivals.

The dams, typically built in the early 1900s, can look harmless, especially from upriver. An approaching boater or swimmer often sees nothing more menacing than a gentle drop, perhaps as little as 4 or 5 feet.

But once they fall into the roiling water below, people find themselves pounded by a never-ending wave of water that forces them to the bottom. If they can bob to the surface, the recirculating current carries them back to the face of the dam and the nightmare begins again.

Experts say the number of dead is undoubtedly higher than the confirmed cases. No government agency tracks the deaths, and it’s unclear how many low-head dams even exist. Estimates range from 3,000 to 5,000.

On the Des Moines River, two low-head dams stand at either end of a half-mile stretch of the channel that runs through downtown Des Moines. At least 15 people

have died at the Center Street Dam and the Scott Street Dam. Making matters worse is the fact that many dams are poorly marked and lack lines or buoys for imperiled boaters or swimmers to grasp.

Many states will help finance the removal of dams, but it can cost $1 million or more. Community leaders also face the concerns of residents who fear that, without a dam, their riverfront homes will overlook nothing more than a muddy creek.

Iowa helps subsidize the removal of four or five dams a year. But Des Moines officials are still wary of the expense and of possibly hurting recreation by lowering the river level.

“It’s like they’re waiting for a bunch of deaths before they do anything,” said Julie Kunkle, who has pushed unsuccessfully for city action since her brother Steve Nourse died while trying to kayak through the Scott Street Dam during high water in 2002.

OPINION Gearing up for PIF Week

One of my favorite signs of spring is when the magnolia trees erupt into full blossom and the grass springs back to its lively green color.

I am sure I will feel differently when I have a yard to mow, but there is something about the start of spring that provides a resurgence of energy for me.

It is fun to watch the baby calves test out their legs for the first time, running and jumping in the pasture. My parents should be ordering a new chattering of chicks for our farm soon, too.

I tested out my endurance at the Hawkeye 25K in Solon over the

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham associate editor

weekend. It was a beautiful trail course around Lake MacBride and I was lucky enough to pull away for an early win.

The Drake Relays come to Des Moines April 23-26. It is a great event and it looks like several area athletes will qualify to compete on the blue oval.

Monday was the first time I broke out the golf clubs and to

test out how much rust I will have to shake of before playing my first nine holes this year. The first couple swings reassured me I will not be playing for a green jacket anytime soon, but I left the driving range feeling a lot more confident.

I will have to convince our golfers in the newsroom to play before my confidence is knocked back down a couple of notches.

On Tuesday I had the privilege to spend more than an hour in the garden of Jim and Mary Lippold for an upcoming story. While they assured me their flower beds will look much different in a couple of months when the foliage reach-

es maximum growth, I was still amazed by the detail they have invested into their landscape.

Look for the full story and pictures in our Senior Living section April 24.

When I was a freshman at Southwestern Community College, the spring was also the start of a new project by a group of psychology students, encouraging people on campus and in the community to pay it forward.

Now, PIF Week is one of my favorite weeks to be part of the Creston community. There are a ton of events planned to help clean up parks, plant new trees and other

fun activities to bring people closer together.

If you have recovered from the Autism Awareness 5K and the Hope Glows 5K, I encourage you to break out your favorite superhero outfit and help kick off PIF Week with the Superhero 5K at the SWCC Performing Arts Center.

The entry fee is $20 and it is a great way to symbolize how paying it forward can make you feel like a superhero, with or without the outfit.

Make sure to check out a full list of PIF Week activities in Friday’s edition of the Creston News Advertiser.

Letter to the editor

More local control From Karon Finn Creston

This is a facsimile of the Dickinson County survey sent to the auditors and all the county supervisors in Iowa on March 24, 2015, which they were asked to answer and return to the Dickinson County Auditor and Supervisors: Dickinson County Local Control Survey Submitted by____________ (County) Date_____________________ The subject of having the existing Iowa Master Matrix System repaired to include more local control for our county concerning the regulation, protection, and preservation of our county’s natural resources was discussed.

Our county supervisors were

noted as follows: ______# of Supervisors in favor of Master Matrix Repair for more local control ______# of Supervisors opposed of Master Matrix Repair for more local control ______# of Supervisors with no opinions The only responsible option on the survey was the first one: Supervisors in favor of Master Matrix Repair for more local control.

Did your supervisors reply?

What did they answer?

In the future another confinement will want to be built next to your family, friends and neighbors and this survey was an opportunity for supervisors to advocate for more local control to protect the people, air, soil and water in your community.

We like to hear from you!

Russia sold the Iranians an anti-aircraft missile system HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Mad Men with Joe Hamm as everyone’s favorite New York advertising executive in the Sixties began its final season on AMC. It’s so instructive. In seven years, Mad Men has taught us that the best way to get a red wine stain out of your carpet is to move to another penthouse and stop being such an alcoholic.

Jordan Spieth won the Masters Sunday, impressing golf fans with his brilliant shotmaking and his on-course manners. Talk about a breath of fresh air. Tiger Woods has hit enough great shots to named Player of the Year ten times and enough bad shots to be named Rap Artist of the Year six times.

Los Angeles was struck by an earthquake centered just south of Beverly Hills Sunday night that measured three-and-a-half on the Richter scale. It was just a minor little earthquake where a few things fell off the store shelves on Rodeo Drive. It caused about six hundred million dollars in damage.

Marlborough School in Hancock Park was rocked by a sex suit by a student against one of her male teachers . This epidemic has reached L.A.’s exclusive private schools. So many Los Angeles teachers are having sex with their students that Roman Polanski’s beginning to think that it’s safe to come home.

Bill Maher offered Elizabeth Warren a million dollars to run against Hillary on Sunday. It’s not legal. It’s against the law for a guy

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

who made his first million dollars telling jokes about Bill and Hillary in the White House to deprive the next generation of comedians a chance at the same gold mine.

Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy Sunday for the Democratic nomination for president of the United States in a ninety-second online video. Her political liabilities are as well known as her assets. Hillary Clinton has tremendous name recognition, and if she can overcome that, she could win.

Hillary Clinton spoke to the concerns of everyday Americans in a campaign video Monday. She mentioned the gays and lesbians and transgenders, but she made no mention at all of al-Qaeda. Until al-Qaeda registers in California as a sexual preference, Democrats are going to pretend they don’t exist.

GOP Senator Marco Rubio announced he’s running for president Tuesday at a rally at Freedom Tower in Miami. He needs to work on his name recognition. A recent poll says sixty-two percent of Americans think that Marco Rubio is a game kids play in the swimming pool with their eyes closed.

USA Today published a poll Thursday which shows that President Obama has an eighty-percent approval rating in Cuba and he’s

more popular in Cuba than Fidel Castro. It makes sense. We always knew that Republicans have sailing in their veins so the only people left in Cuba are the Democrats.

President Obama told Congress not to interfere with the U.S.-Iran nuclear deal Monday as the Senate returned to work. Lawmakers are worried. He just gave Iran such an open pathway to nuclear bombs it practically guarantees that he’ll be retiring to Hawaii instead of a targetable U.S. city.

Russia sold the Iranians an anti-aircraft missile system Monday that could protect Iran from a U.S. attack. The Russians say the anti-aircraft batteries can shoot down a hundred U.S. warplanes. The Russians tested it for the Iranians last spring, but Maylasian airliners may not have been a fair test.

German news reported a sixtyfive-year-old woman in Germany was pregnant with quadruplets Monday. It’s the most nervous the world’s been about genetic engineering. If this were anybody but the Germans, we wouldn’t be scouring eBay to see just whose locks of hair have been auctioned lately.

Attorney General Eric Holder sent a letter to all Justice Department workers this week ordering them not to hire prostitutes.

Enough’s enough. If they want sleazy people to do unspeakable acts in exchange for cold hard cash, they can get the toll-freenumber for Congress just by calling information.

what’s cookin’ in banana bread with cream cheese A cheesecake baked into banana bread? Here you go! This bread is soft and moist and it’s like eating a piece of cheesecake, but inside the banana bread. It’s an easy, no mixer recipe. Preparing the bread will go from bowl to oven in minutes. Smakelijk eten!

banana bread filled with cream cheese Bread 1 large egg 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt 2 tsp. vanilla extract 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas) 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda pinch salt, optional and to taste

Cream CheeSe FIllInG 1 large egg 4 oz. softened cream cheese 1/4 cup granulated sugar 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

Italian Herb Corn and Rice Zucchini Boats Hands-on: 25 minutes Total: 50 minutes Servings: 4 (2 halves each) 4 medium zucchini 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 package (12 ounces) Alexia Italian Herb Corn with Sundried Tomatoes 3/4 cup cooked white basmati rice (or quinoa for added protein and fiber) 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Using melon baller or spoon, scoop out zucchini flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch border.

Brush zucchini halves with oil. Sprinkle with garlic, salt and pepper. Place zucchini on parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Bake 13–15 minutes or until tender.

Meanwhile, prepare corn according to package directions.

Toss corn with rice and cheeses. Spoon mixture evenly into zucchini halves.

Return to oven. Bake 8–10 minutes more or until filling is hot. Place zucchini under broiler for golden brown top.

Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray one 9x5-inch loaf pan with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside.

Bread - In a large bowl, add the egg, brown sugar, coconut oil, sour cream, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk to combine. add the bananas and stir to incorporate. add 1 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, optional salt, and fold with spatula or stir gently with a spoon until just combined; don’t overmix; set aside. Turn about two-thirds of the batter out into the prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula and pushing it into corners and sides as necessary; set aside.

Cream Cheese Filling - In a large bowl, add all ingredients and whisk to combine. alternatively, mix with a hand mixer. evenly pour filling mixture over the bread, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula and pushing it into corners and sides as necessary.

Top with remaining batter, smoothing the top very lightly with a spatula as to not disturb cream cheese layer and pushing batter into corners and sides as necessary.

Bake for about 48 to 50 minutes or until the top is domed, golden, and the center is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Note this is tricky because the cream cheese never gets totally solid so the toothpick test isn’t the most accurate. Tent the pan with a sheet of foil draped over it at the 30 minute-mark if you feel the tops and sides will become too browned before center cooks through. Baking times will vary based on moisture content of bananas, cream cheese, climate, and oven variances. Bake until done; watch your bread and not the clock, as I was told. allow bread to cool in pan for about 15 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Bread will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Almond Crusted Tilapia with Parmesan Peas Hands-on: 30 minutes Total: 30 minutes Servings: 4 (1 filet and 1/2 cup peas each) 1/3 cup dry unseasoned bread crumbs 1/3 cup finely chopped almonds 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 4 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each), or any white-fleshed fish such as cod, haddock or sole 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1 egg, beaten 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 package (12 ounces) Alexia Parmesan Peas Lemon wedges Combine bread crumbs, almonds and cheese in shallow dish.

Sprinkle salt and pepper on fish. Coat fish with flour; shake off excess. Dip in egg until coated well. Place in bread crumb mixture and turn to coat completely.

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add fish; cook 3–4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with fork and is golden brown (145°F internal temperature).

Meanwhile, prepare peas according to package directions.

Serve peas and lemon wedges with fish.

Peanut-butter treats Dear Heloise: Instead of scraping the jar for that LAST BIT OF PEANUT BUTTER, I stick the jar in the microwave for a few seconds, allowing the “dregs” to reach a very soft to liquid stage. Timing depends on the amount left in the jar, so keep an eye on it.

I mix the softened peanut butter into pancake batter.

Even 1 or 2 tablespoons adds noticeable flavor. I also use this mixture to make “poor man’s crepes,” spreading them with a thin layer of jam or jelly. — Betsy S., Fredericksburg, Va. Betsy, poor man, rich man, old man, young man (and gals) — this sounds delicious to me! I make “peanut-butter milk” by pouring some lowfat milk into what’s left in the jar. I add a teaspoon of honey and a dash of cinnamon. Add some ice, and I’m set! — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com TURNIP TROUBLE

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

Hints from Heloise Dear Heloise: Once again, I am going to have to toss a batch of turnip greens! Although I rinsed and drained them thoroughly, some sand or grit remained. Do you have any hints for this problem? — Karen C., Clinton, Miss.

Karen, don’t throw out the greens just yet! Washing (really, rinsing, since you don’t use soap) turnip greens can take some time. But they are worth it when you are eating them along with a slice of corn bread and a cut-up red, ripe tomato. Fill the sink or a very large pot with cold water. You should cut up the greens first, removing the stems and ribs. Let them soak a short while, then rinse thoroughly to remove all of the grit. Do repeat this process a few times to get out all of the sand and grit. Some folks add a glug or two of vinegar to the water — they say it helps release the grit. Sure can’t hurt. Good luck! — Heloise FREEZING PARSLEY

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

Dear Heloise: Many recipes I want to try call for fresh minced parsley. I hate buying a bunch for just a couple of teaspoons or tablespoons full.

Now I get one bunch of parsley. I pull the leaves off and place them, about a cup at a time, in the mini food chopper. I put them into a section of an ice-cube tray and add cold water to cover. Once frozen, pop out the cubes and store in a plastic, zipper-top bag in the freezer. When needed, take out one or two cubes and place them in a strainer over a cup to thaw. — John C., via email COLD DRINKS Dear Heloise: Whenever I am almost finished with a BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker 2-liter bottle of soda, I place another one behind it in the refrigerator. When I finish the first one, there is another that is cold and ready. — Arlene in Texas DRY DISHES Dear Heloise: Use old, pretty table napkins as dish-drying towels. They work great on dishes and stemware, and are easy to wash. — Donna D. in California (c)2015 by King Features BLONDIE® by Dean Young Syndicate Inc.

DNR to hold volunteer water quality monitoring workshop DES MOINES — IOWATER, Iowa’s statewide volunteer water quality monitoring program, will host an introductory IOWATER workshop 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. April 30 at the Clarke County Development Corporation, 115 E. Washington St., Osceola.

During the one-day workshop classroom instruction will be combined with handson training as participants learn how to monitor and assess the quality of their local streams, rivers and lakes. IOWATER emphasizes a perspective based on the “watershed,” or the area of land that drains into a body of water and what citizens can do

to protect and improve local water bodies.

Water quality monitoring includes physical, chemical, biological and habitat assessments. These workshops will focus on physical assessments which document the physical attributes of a waterbody, such as temperature and water clarity; chemical testing that includes pH, nitrogen, phosphate, chloride and dissolved oxygen monitoring; and habitat assessments that document the suitability of water bodies to sustain aquatic life.

If they choose to do so, volunteers may submit their data to an online database via the IOWATER website,

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union charged Google on Wednesday with abusing its overwhelming dominance in Internet searches and opened a probe into its Android mobile system, massively raising the stakes in the five-year antitrust battle.

The move could lead to billions in fines for Google if the case shows that the way it does business in the 28-country bloc is illegal, as well as years of legal wrangling.

The EU can impose fines of 10 percent on annual revenue, or some $6 billion, and force the company to overhaul its system for recommending websites in Europe.

The EU executive commission said it found that

Line drive CLEVELAND — Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco was treated at a hospital for a bruised jaw suffered in the top of the first inning of Tuesday night’s 4-1 losswhen Chicago White Sox outfielder Melky Cabrera hit a line drive back to the mound, connecting with the pitcher’s face.

Carrasco was flattened by the sharp liner that appeared to glance off his glove and right hand before smacking him on the right side of the face. The right-hander crumpled to the ground in front of the mound with his legs spread wide as manager Terry Francona and a trainer quickly raced out to check on him.

Following the game, Francona said X-rays and a CT scan on Carrasco were negative and he only suffered a bad bruise. Carrasco felt good enough to return to Progressive Field before the game ended. He’ll be re-evaluated on Wednesday.

“In the big picture, we dodged a really big bullet,” Francona said. “Really fortunate.”

Reds win CHICAGO — The Cincinnati Reds needed something to go right. On Tuesday, starter Anthony DeSclafani made sure enough went their way to end a three-game losing streak.

DeSclafani threw seven scoreless innings, Joey Votto had two hits and drove in a run, and the Reds held on to beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2 on Tuesday night.

DeSclafani gave up two hits while striking out five for the Reds. Acquired this offseason as part of the trade that sent former ace Mat Latos to the Miami Marlins, DeSclafani (1-0) earned his first victory for Cincinnati and impressed manager Bryan Price.

DeSclafani was replaced in the eighth by former Cubs closer Kevin Gregg, who walked Matt Szczur before allowing pinch-hitter Welington Castillo’s two-run home run. Gregg was replaced

by Tony Cingrani, who allowed a two-out single to Anthony Rizzo and a walk to Jorge Soler before striking out Chris Coghlan to end the threat.

Pacers survive INDIANAPOLIS — C.J. Miles and George Hill helped Indiana survive Part I of its playoff push Tuesday night.

Now comes the harder part — making the redeye flight to Memphis and doing it all over again less than 24 hours later.

At least the Pacers still have a chance. Miles scored 25 points, Hill added 24 and together they spurred a 7-2 run to open the second overtime and keep Indiana’s playoff hopes alive with a critical come-from-behind 99-95 victory over Washington.

It took everything the Pacers (38-43) had.

Paul George played a season-high 17 minutes, 46 minutes, almost three full minutes longer than planned. His 20-foot pullup jumper tied the score at 85 with 22.4 seconds to go in the first overtime.

CHARITON — Another night, another 800 meter race that stole the show here Tuesday.

In the second meeting of the season between defending state champions Jay Wolfe of Creston and Kyle Dolecheck of Mount Ayr, along with Creston senior Bryce Briley, all three delivered.

All three runners lowered their season’s best times, with Dolecheck and Briley both running new personal best times.

Wolfe was already comfortably into the Drake Relays with his time from last Friday’s meet at Clarinda, but now Dolecheck and Briley find themselves right in the middle of the Drake Relays hunt.

Wolfe crossed first in 1:56.47, with Dolecheck following behind at 1:57.53 and Briley coming in at 1:58.67.

The meet in Chariton did not have a fully automated timing system, so .24 seconds has to be added onto each of those times to convert from hand-timed to FAT timing.

“That was quite a show that was put on,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “Fourth place was 14 seconds behind them.

Those guys have been running against each other all season. It was another epic battle.”

Wolfe led from the gun, setting the pace with a 57-second first 400, as Briley and Dolecheck came through in 58 seconds.

Creston senior Jay Wolfe leads senior teammate Bryce Briley and Mount Ayr junior Kyle Dolecheck down the backstretch on the second lap of the 800 meters Tuesday at the Charger Relays in Chariton. All three runners went sub-2 minutes in the race.

Briley made a move in the third 200 of the race, nearly catching Wolfe. Wolfe pulled away in the final 100 meters, as Dolecheck went

by Briley for second place.

“The third 200 was an awesome part of the race,” Schlapia said. “That’s where the guys were going toe-totoe and guts out. They came off that last curve like a slingshot. That was amazing to see those three finish.”

Briley’s time was a 3-second improvement from his previous personal best.

It now ranks him as the third-fastest 800 runner in Creston history, behind Wolfe and Nathan Brotherton, the school record holder before Wolfe broke the record.

His time puts him on the edge of Drake Relays qual-

ification. Briley may still need to take some more time off at Thursday’s home Panther Relays, on the last night for Drake Relays qualification before the qualifying period ends at 11:59 p.m.

“With Kyle being 1A and Jay and Bryce being 3A, you can throw those classes out the window and see those are three of the top performances in the state of Iowa, all classes combined,” Schlapia said. “A lot of the focus has been on Drake qualifying. With Jay and Kyle’s times, that should make them safe to get in.

“Bryce is still right on the edge, as they take the top 16. The past four years, with his time, two years it’s been good enough to get in and two years it’s been off the edge.”

Kuemper thwarts Panther comeback attempt, 3-0

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

Creston girls soccer coach Kim Lauffer saw this week as an opportunity for her team to continue pushing forward, after some inspired efforts against quality opponents.

Tuesday night, the Panthers hosted Carroll Kuemper Catholic, a team that won by one goal over Creston a year ago. On Thursday, the team travels to Denison to take on an 0-3 Denison-Schleswig team that fell 8-0 to Glenwood Tuesday night.

Two opportunities, she reasoned.

But, the week began Tuesday like one of those soda pop bottles left open too long. No sparkling fizzle when you take that first gulp.

Just a flat taste that’s hard to swallow.

“We weren’t in good positions, we’d give up 20 yards on our first touch, we weren’t stepping in aggressively to win the ball,” Lauffer said after watching her team defeated 3-0 by Kuemper on Panther Field.

The possessions and passing that were crisp against better opponents, such as a hard-fought 3-0 loss to state-ranked Valley girls on Thursday, were missing Tuesday night. In addition, starting defenders Maddie Travis and Katie Powers were unavailable while on a mission trip, so the back end of the formation was more inexperienced.

It all spelled for some frustration, rather than an opportunity to break an 11-match losing streak dating back to last season.

“I was hoping the spark

would be there for a winnable game,” Lauffer said.

“We’re looking at the same situation Thursday, but we have to make it happen.”

Creston nearly struck first when Savannah Hartman’s shot was stopped with 28:31 left in the first half, and teammate Shelby Palser nearly scored a minute later.

But Kuemper denied both efforts, and got on the board on a goal by physical senior Clare Kiboko with 25:37 left in the first half.

Trailing just 1-0, the Panthers looked to get into contention after halftime.

Instead, Kaitlyn Tigges angled in a shot in front of the net to make it 2-0 20 minutes into the period.

11 placewinners In total, Creston finished with 11 placewinners, finishing eighth in the eight-team field in the large school division with 46 points. Albia held off Carlisle 122.5 to 103, with Mount Ayr, competing up a class, finishing third with 91 points.

The Panthers had four placewinners in the field events. Cody Tanner placed seventh in both the shot put and the discus, with throws of 36-6.50 and 101-4. Freshman Cody Wagner finished third in the high jump with his clearance of 4-6, while junior Chris Foster was fifth at 5-4.

“Coming out of the field events, we had four placewinners,” Schlapia said.

“That’s our high total for the season. That was a high-

light.”

The 4x200 relay team of Wagner, Briley, Foster and Wolfe finished fourth in 1:37.68. Foster placed seventh in the 100 meter dash with his time of 12.32.

The 4x400 relay team of Briley, Foster, Nick Walsh and Wolfe took fourth in 3:43.59, with both Briley and Wolfe running on short rest after the 800. Walsh ran a season’s best split in the relay at 56.36.

The all-freshman combination of Cole Higgins, Joe Eblen, Cody Wagner and Dalten Bierle finished sixth in the 1,600 medley relay, running 4:17.56.

The Creston 4x100 weightman’s relay team of Tanner, Trevor Downing, Trey Gift and Dylan Linch finished third in 55.68.

Mount Ayr The defending Class 1A state champion Raiders won only one event Tuesday, but had a total of 10 top-three finishes.

Senior Joe Ricker won the discus with his throw of 130-7. Junior Jed McCreary and Ricker finished s e c o n d Ricker and third in the shot put with throws of 43-0 and 42-7.75.

Nick Wurster took third in the long jump with a leap of 19-11. Junior Trevor Anderson finished second in the 1,600 meters with his Please see RELAYS, page 10A

Eagles shoot past Creston boys in final minutes

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

UNDERWOOD — The Creston boys played 67 minutes as the superior team here Tuesday.

But the final 23 minutes were their downfall.

Conner Pals scored on a Ben Irr assist and Irr converted a penalty kick for a 2-1 Panther halftime Irr lead.

In the second half, Underwood tied it 2-2 with 23 minutes left, and then scored a pair of goals in the final 10 minutes, including a penalty kick for a Panther foul in the box.

“It’s really too bad, because the score doesn’t reflect the game,” Panther coach Jesus Rodriguez said. “All the goals were on a restart — corner kick, on a throw in on a shot of the kid’s life from the 18 (yard line) and another on a corner kick when it went off the guy’s hand, but it wasn’t called a handball and he knocked it in. Then there was a PK. None of the goals came in the run of play.”

Defender Chase Shiltz is on a mission trip this week, expected to return for Saturday’s tournament at Winterset.

“He adds a lot to our defense, with his speed and he’s a physical player,” Rodriguez said. “Our defense was not on today.

We missed a PK in the first half or we could have been up 3-1 in the first half. It just seemed like one of those nights.”

Creston, 3-2 overall

and 1-0 in the Hawkeye 10, plays at Denison-Schleswig Thursday in a girl-boy doubleheader. The Monarchs opened their season Tuesday against Sioux City West after last week’s opener against St. Albert was postponed.

The Panthers again have a tough draw in Saturday’s tournament at Winterset, opening against Class 3A Indianola. The Indians’ coach is a fellow former Graceland player when Rodriguez returned to his alma mater as a varsity assistant coach, and took Creston to overtime in a Panther victory last year.

The host Huskies are 0-3 and face Oskaloosa (0-2) in the 10 a.m. first round while the Panthers are playing the Indians.

Championship and consolation games are scheduled for 11:15 a.m.

Creston’s first game is at Winterset’s practice field, where there are no bleachers, so fans will need to bring lawn chairs.

Games will be played with 30-minute halves.

Creston and Underwood tied 2-2 in JV action Tuesday after a 0-0 first half.

Isaac Wignall assisted a goal by Tyler Helm and Connor Kinkade scored an unassisted goal for Creston. Quinton Scadden had three saves in goal.

Underwood 4, Creston 2 Creston (2) — Conner Pals (Ben Irr assist), 35:00 first half; Irr PK, 17:00 first half. Shots (on goal) — 19 (7 on goal).

Individual shots (on goal)— Ben Irr 7 (3 on goal), Conner Pals 6 (2 on goal), McClain Haines 4 (1 on goal), Gavin Woods 1 (1 on goal), Evan Jacobson 1. Keeper saves — Alex Nielsen 4.

Underwood (4)— Goals at 22:00 first half; 23:00 second half; 10:00 second half (PK); 8:00 second half.

SWCC shooters place sixth in nation Three Spartans qualify for Olympic Training Camp SAN ANTONIO — The Southwestern Community College sports shooting team placed sixth in the nation in trap shooting during the Association of College Unions International (ACUI) Collegiate Clay Target Championships March 24-29.

There were approximately 630 student-athletes from 75 colleges competing in the event.

The SWCC sports shooting team had 15 sports shooting athletes, divided into three squads, who competed. During the finals, the SWCC team shot 479 of 500.

Individually, the Spartans had three individuals place.

and Jason Roberts yielded only three earned runs as the Spartans led 6-3 after six innings in Saturday’s opener. In the final inning, Kirkwood plated four runs (only two earned).

“There was a runner on first, a ground ball for a double play,” Hernandez said. “We missed the ball, but still had a shot for the out at first. But it was thrown away, so now they had runners on second and third. They ended up with four runs to beat us and it kind of took all the momentum away from us. It was an uphill battle after that.”

CEDAR RAPIDS — The ability to rebound from adversity.

That’s what Southwestern baseball coach Pedro Hernandez is looking for in his team, after dropping four games to Kirkwood over the weekend.

On both Saturday and Sunday, the Spartans established leads in the opening game only to see the Eagles rally from behind for close victories (7-6 and 5-4). Immediately afterward in each case, Kirkwood then sailed in the second game, 15-2 in five innings Saturday and 10-7 in seven innings Sunday.

“The guys have to learn how to battle back after a tough loss,” Hernandez said. “In the second game after a tough loss, we haven’t been sharp, making a lot of errors. It’s tough on our pitchers when they need to get five or six outs in an inning.”

and three walks with eight strikeouts in falling to 2-3 for the season. The Panthers nearly rallied in their final at-bat.

“We had runners on first and third with two outs, and Misael Lebron hit a flyball to left field that was caught on the warning track,” Hernandez said.

The Raiders finished third in the 4x800 relay, the 4x200 relay, the 4x100 relay and the 4x400 relay.

Panther Relays Both Creston and Mount Ayr return to action Thursday at the Panther Relays hosted by Creston.

The meet was originally scheduled for Friday, but was moved up to Thursday in an effort to give teams one last chance at qualifying events for the Drake Relays ahead of the 11:59 p.m.

Thursday deadline.

Bird flu spreads to Iowa turkey flock DES MOINES (AP) — A bird-flu strain that has already led to the deaths of nearly 2 million turkeys nationwide spread to an Iowa turkey farm, authorities said on Tuesday, bringing to six the number of states hit with the outbreak that was also confirmed at eight more farms in Minnesota.

The announcements on Tuesday came a day after confirmation of the first case of the virus in Wisconsin, the first case of a U.S. commercial chicken farm where the strain was detected, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Scientists believe domestic poultry are getting the highly-contagious H5N2 virus from wild migratory waterfowl but they are puzzled by the accelerating spread despite reinforced biosecurity measures at poultry production and processing facilities.

The outbreak has prompted some 40 countries to impose import restrictions on U.S.

Erin Pettit-Hardisty was recently awarded the Jeffrey and Elizabeth Goodman Distinguished Advocate Award at the Drake Law School award ceremony held March 28.

Pettit-Hardisty is a 2015 graduate of the Drake Law School in Des Moines. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Iowa in 2011 and was a 2008 East Union High School graduate.

Pettit-Hardisty is married to Ryan Hardisty of Truro, and is the daughter of Doug and Georgia Pettit of Afton.

The Jeffrey and Elizabeth Goodman Distinguished Advocate Award was established in 2003

by Jeffrey and Elizabeth Goodman, 1985 graduates of the Drake Law School.

Its purpose is to recognize a Drake Law School student who demonstrates excellence and proficiency in Contributed photo client representation and Erin Pettit-Hardisty, a 2008 East Union graduate, is recipadvocacy. The recipient ient of the Jeffrey and Elizabeth Goodman Distinguished Advocate Award awarded at Drake Law School. receives a cash award.

West Coast sardine season called off CNA file photo

The outbreak has prompted some 40 countries to impose import restrictions on U.S. poultry.

poultry.

The Iowa farm is in Buena Vista County housing some 27,000 turkeys, said Iowa Department of Agriculture spokesman Dustin Vande Hoef.

The disease was suspected when an abnormally high number of turkeys began dying. The farm is under quarantine and the turkeys will be destroyed.

The confirmation at eight additional infected turkey farms in the nation’s biggest producing state of Minnesota brings the state’s total to 22 farms and nearly 1.5 million turkeys lost to the disease.

Minnesota raises around 46 million turkeys a year. State Veterinarian Bill Hartmann said he expects more farms to be hit before the threat recedes.

Fisheries managers have decided to call off the West Coast sardine fishing season that starts in July because of rapidly dwindling numbers, hoping to save an iconic industry from the kind of collapse that hit in the 1940s and lasted 50 years.

Meeting outside Santa Rosa, California, the Pacific Fishery Management Council voted Sunday to close the season starting July 1.

It had little choice. Estimates of sardine abundance have fallen below the level

for a mandatory fishing shutdown.

The council next will decide whether overfishing has been a factor in the latest collapse, which could trigger an emergency shutdown of the current season, which runs through June. It votes Wednesday.

Made famous by John Steinbeck’s novel “Cannery Row,” the once-thriving sardine industry crashed in the 1940s.

It revived in the 1990s when fisheries developed in

Oregon and Washington waters, but population estimates have been declining since 2006, and catch values since 2012. The reasons are not well-understood, though it is widely accepted that huge swings in populations are natural, and generally are related to water temperatures.
