Paint the town: Paint Creston program applications available

By BAILEY POOLMAN

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Now that the sun is shining and flowers are blooming, it’s time for spring cleaning.

One way to spruce up your home is to paint the siding.

Paint Creston is a program that allows homeowners to update the exterior of their homes by applying for the program and slathering on the paint themselves.

“It’s grant money that the chamber re-

ceives to improve Creston and the community,” said Ellen Gerharz, Creston Chamber of Commerce director. “For five years we’ve thought it was important to buy paint for occupied homes in Creston rather than letting them fall into further disrepair.”

Gerharz Those interested in the program can apply online at www.crestoniowachamber.com, or pick up an application

at the chamber, located at 208 W. Taylor St. Applications must be turned in by 5 p.m.

May 8, and can be mailed directly to the chamber office at P.O. Box 471, Creston, IA 50801.

With the grant money, paint and supplies will be purchased for the homeowner to use.

However, if the house is not painted by Oct. 9, the homeowner is required to reimburse the chamber for the grant money used.

“Because of the number of homes that needed some tender loving care, ... we felt we could impact more people by doing the

Paint Creston program,” Gerharz said. “I do know, over the five years that we’ve done it, several of the homeowners who have taken the time and painted their homes, their neighbors have been very appreciative.”

A concern people have, though, is whether the paint will increase the assessed value of their home. According to Union County Assessor Theresa Pudenz, that is not true.

“It’s not necessarily going to add value Please see PAINT THE TOWN, Page 2A

You can only park in uptown Creston for two hours during the hours of 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

That’s been the city ordinance for more than 10 years, but in case you forget city officials will soon be installing two-hour parking signs as a reminder.

This issue of uptown parking came forward earlier this month when Janelle Kretz, owner of The Old Market in uptown Creston, told the council her customers were having difficulty finding a parking spot near her business.

“On one occasion some elderly customers of mine had to park by Harry Walters business and walk,” Kretz said. “Eventually, it comes down to — if ■ Those they can’t park close parking longer enough — they just aren’t going to stop and than two hours that hurts uptown busi- in uptown ness.”

Marsha Wilson, ward 4 city councilwoman, and Cost for those Creston Public Works tickets: $25 Director Kevin Kruse presented a solution to this problem Tuesday evening that will place twohour parking signs in the 100, 200 and 300 blocks of West Adams and Montgomery streets and 100 and 200 blocks of Elm and Maple streets.

Patrons will be ticketed by law enforcement if they park longer than two hours.

“We will see how this works,” Wilson said, “and hopefully everyone realizes you can only park two hours instead of four days in some cases.”

The signs will be ordered and installed within a month. Tickets for parking longer than two hours are $25.

Mike Taylor, city administrator, mentioned there is a city-owned parking lot on the corner of Elm and West Adams streets (directly south of The Lobby) that is available to uptown apartment dwellers. Taylor said that parking lot doesn’t have any parking regulations and vehicles will not be ticketed there.

“Please share that information,” Taylor said.

PAINT THE TOWN:

to your assessed value, but it would certainly add to the outlook of how our town looks,” Pudenz said. “As far as curb appeal, if you were to put your house up Pudenz for sale, that would certainly appeal new buyers if you have new paint.”

Pudenz said increased

value comes from updating a house, such as putting new windows and updating a bathroom in a home built in the 1950s.

In 2014, Creston Image Enhancement Committee received 14 applications, and selected six homes to paint.

“If you look at those homes now, they have maintained their homes,” Gerharz said. “So, that really makes the committee feel good in that the pride and workmanship that they did put into that home is still there.”

Paul Ver Meer, Creston police chief and member of the Image Enhancement Committee, also said the program is a good one.

“I think we’ve done 20some houses since the project has been in effect,” Ver Meer said. “Some people, they’re willing, but they just need the assistance. And, this program gives them a little more pride in ownership.”

In essence, the consensus was the program benefits the community all over, not just one section of the town, because houses are chosen,

painted and the beauty of Creston can be seen from all over.

“I think it’s a great program because it gives people an opportunity who may not be able to financially afford the paint for their home,” Gerharz said. “It really helps the community, and the entire town of Creston because it shows people have pride in their homes and Creston.”

Jeb Bush prepares to give traditional campaign a makeover

This little piggy:

CNA photo by JAKE WADDINGHAM

A group of children peek through a wooden fence and chicken wire at four piglets Tuesday afternoon at the inaugural “Afternoon at the Farm” at Southwestern Community College’s agriculture site. More than 150 children attended the event, which had 10 educational stations.

CITY COUNCIL: Continued from Page 1

In other city council news: • The council voted 5-1 to approve moving $7,500 from the hotel/motel fund to Creston Park and Recreation Board so they can promote summer events, including the ninth annual Party in the Park slated June 20 at McKinley Park and family festival July 25 that includes a kid’s fish day and Bill Riley talent show.

Taylor said only $5,500 was budget for these promotions the past couple years. John Kawa, park board chairman, said costs for sounds and lights, adver-

tising and the need for more hotel rooms go up every year and these two events are an investment whereby the money garnered is put back into city parks.

Rich Madison, ward 2 councilman, was the lone no vote stating he’d like to remain “tight” with the money and stay with the $5,500 amount. Voting for was Wilson, Gary Lybarger, Dave Koets, Ann Levine and Randy White. Nancy Loudon was absent.

• The council voted unanimously to give the owners of 803 S. Cedar St. in Creston until Dec. 31, 2015, to abate three nuisances on the property.

Good-bye keys: ‘Smart locks’ let you in without them When Christy and Joe Affrunti bought their Long Island, New York, house last year, one of their first projects was replacing the traditional front-door lock with one that opens using a pass code. They were tired of the hassle of “jiggling with a key.”

Now, when they need to give someone like a repairman temporary access, they give a temporary code to get in. They share their permanent code with friends; those who arrive at the house before they do, for instance, can “come in and be comfortable instead of sitting in their car,” Christy Affrunti says.

High-tech door locks — typically controlled by keypads, phone apps or even the swipe of a finger — could be pushing house keys into oblivion after centuries of trusty service.

Many lock companies are ramping up their electronic-lock offerings in response to consumer interest.

Michael Tierney, standards coordinator for the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association, which certifies home products, says keyless locks are also safe.

“Keyless locks have been in the marketplace for some time now — stand-alone units for decades, and the connected products for more than 10 years — and have been proven to be safe and reliable,” he says.

But choose wisely. Tierney recommends buying only from manufacturers that follow industry standards for security. Protect any passwords connected to the devices, and change batteries as needed.

But when all else fails: Kwikset’s Kevo can be opened with a key.

DES MOINES (AP) — The traditional presidential campaign may be getting a dramatic makeover in Jeb Bush’s bid for the White House as he prepares to turn some of a campaign’s central functions over to a separate political organization that can raise unlimited a m o u n t s Bush of money.

The concept, in development for months as the former Florida governor has raised tens of millions of dollars for his Right to Rise super PAC, would endow that organization not just with advertising on Bush’s behalf, but with many of the duties typically conducted by a campaign.

Should Bush move ahead as his team intends, it is possible that for the first time a super PAC created to support a single candidate would spend more than the candidate’s campaign itself — at least through the primaries.

Some of Bush’s donors believe that to be more than likely.

Architects of the plan believe the super PAC’s ability to raise unlimited amounts of money legally outweighs its primary disadvantage, that it cannot legally coordinate its actions with Bush or his would-be campaign staff.

“Nothing like this has been done before,” said David Keating, president of the Center for Competitive Politics, which opposes limits on campaign finance donations. “It will take a high level of discipline to do it.”

The exact design of the strategy remains fluid as Bush approaches an announcement of his intention to run for the Repub-

lican nomination in 2016.

But at its center is the idea of placing Right to Rise in charge of the brunt of the biggest expense of electing Bush: television advertising and direct mail.

Right to Rise could also break into new areas for a candidate-specific super PAC, such as data gathering, highly individualized online advertising and running phone banks.

Also on the table, tasking the super PAC with crucial campaign endgame strategies: the operation to get out the vote and efforts to maximize absentee and early voting on Bush’s behalf.

The campaign itself would still handle those things that require Bush’s direct involvement, such as candidate travel. It would still pay for advertising, conduct polling and collect voter data.

Bush’s plans were described to The Associated Press by two Republicans and several Bush donors familiar with the plan, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the former Florida governor has not yet announced his candidacy and they were not authorized to discuss details on the record.

Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell said: “Any speculation on how a potential campaign would be structured, if he were to move forward, is premature at this time.”

Bush plans to update about 300 of the group’s most generous donors at a meeting in Miami Beach on Sunday and Monday.

The strategy aims to take maximum advantage of the new world of campaign finance created by a pair of 2010 Supreme Court decisions and counts on the Federal Election Commission to remain a passive regulator with little willingness to confront those pushing the enve-

lope of the law.

For Bush, the potential benefits are enormous.

Campaigns can raise only $2,700 per donor for the primary and $2,700 for the general election.

But super PACs are able to raise unlimited cash from individuals, corporations and groups such as labor unions.

The main limitation on super PACs is that they cannot coordinate their activities with a campaign.

The risk for Bush is that his super PAC will not have access to the candidate and his senior strategists to make pivotal decisions about how to spend the massive amount of money it will take to win the Republican nomination and, if successful, secure the 270 electoral votes he will need to follow his father and brother into the White House.

Super PACs got their start in presidential politics when former aides to GOP nominee Mitt Romney set one up to support him at the outset of the 2012 campaign.

The group, called Restore Our Future, raised and spent more than $142 million. By comparison, his formal campaign raised $446 million.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, should he run, is also expected to count on the super PAC supporting him, America Leads, for some heavy lifting.

Phil Cox, who runs the group, says he wouldn’t be surprised if it spends more than a Christie campaign on paid media and contacting voters, a development he calls “a natural and logical evolution” based on today’s campaign finance rules.

The primary complication of Bush’s plan is the ban on coordination. For example, if the campaign decided to change its focus from one issue to another,

it could not share that decision with the super PAC. One way Bush is already addressing the coordination ban is by frontloading his efforts inside Right to Rise.

Because he is not yet a candidate, he can now spend time raising money for the super PAC and take part in strategic campaign planning under its auspices.

Critics also believe that coordination can take place surreptitiously, and such illegal activity isn’t punished by an FEC comprised of three Democratic and three Republican members unable to agree on most anything.

Former FEC commissioner Scott Thomas, a Democrat, doubts the Justice Department would ever look at such a case because the FEC has been so precise in detailing what is allowed and what is not.

“You’d have to show a true smoking gun, showing the candidate controlling the campaign and the super PAC,” said Thomas, a lawyer now in private practice in Washington. He can’t see campaign operatives being that clumsy: “It would have to be a smoking gun left by someone who had the intelligence of an advanced fern.”

OPINION

Open veins, healing wounds, in Latin America For the first time in more than half a century, the presidents of the United States and Cuba have had a formal meeting. Barack Obama met with Cuban President Raul Castro at the 7th Summit of the Americas, held this year in Panama City. Cuba’s participation has been blocked by the U.S. since the summit began in 1994. This historic moment occurs with some sadness, however: Eduardo Galeano, the great Uruguayan writer who did so much to explain the deeply unequal relations between Latin America and the U.S. and Europe, died as the summit ended.

Galeano’s best-known book is “Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent.” It was published in 1971, and was among the first to explain the impact of colonial domination of the hemisphere, across the broad sweep of history.

Galeano himself was swept away by events as well. He wrote the book “in 90 caffeinated nights,” he said, “to interlink histories that have been before told separately and in this codified language of historians or economists or sociologists. I tried to write it in such a way that it could be read and en-

joyed by anyone.”

The book’s success made him a target, as U.S.-sponsored coups toppled democratic governments in the region. He was imprisoned in Uruguay, then, after release, began a life in exile. He settled in Argentina, where he founded and edited a cultural magazine called Crisis. After the U.S.-backed military coup there in 1976, Galeano’s name was added to the list of those condemned by the death squad.

He fled again, this time to Spain, where he began his famous trilogy, “Memory of Fire,” which rewrites North and South American history.

And now, a piece of that history is being rewritten, between the United States and Cuba. President Obama has sent a State Department report to Congress, which recommends that Cuba be removed from the official U.S. government list of nations that sponsor terrorism. The peace

group CODEPINK applauded the move, saying in a statement, “The infamous U.S. terror list includes only three other nations: Iran, Sudan, and Syria and curiously omits North Korea. Many people around the world found it hypocritical for the United States to single out Cuba while ignoring support for terrorism by U.S. allies such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt and Israel, especially since Cuba is known for exporting doctors, musicians, teachers, artists, and dancers — not terrorists.”

I asked a former Cuban diplomat in Havana, Carlos Alzugaray Treto, for his reaction to the critics of Obama removing Cuba from the terrorism list, like Republican Senator, and now presidential candidate, Marco Rubio, a Cuban-American from Florida.

Alzugaray said Rubio “should worry about having terrorists, a terrorist like Luis Posada Carriles, living in Miami. He has the terrorism not 90 miles from Florida; he has one in Miami. He doesn’t complain.” Luis Posada Carriles was a CIA operative who admitted to masterminding the bombing of a Cubana Airlines jet in 1976, killing all 73 people on board. Venezue-

la has long sought his extradition, but the U.S. government refuses to comply, leaving Carriles a free man living in Miami.

The U.S. embargo against Cuba, one of the most enduring and punishing relics of the Cold War, remains in place, however. This central pillar of a half-century of hostile U.S. policy toward Cuba is increasingly unpopular here. The U.S. business community is tired of losing out on opportunities that are enjoyed by investors from Canada, Europe, Japan and China.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce hailed President Obama’s moves to normalize relations. Businesses like Facebook and Airbnb are in Cuba and planning on expanding, as soon as it is legal to do so. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said recently, “Our Cuba policy, instead of isolating Cuba, was isolating the United States in our own backyard.” And President Obama, when announcing his intention to normalize relations with Cuba last December, admitted, “When what you’re doing doesn’t work for 50 years, it’s time to try something new.”

The Summit of the Americas has ended, and the trajectory of

U.S./Cuban relations is on a new course. When Obama first attended the summit, in 2009, the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez handed him a copy of “Open Veins of Latin America.” If he hasn’t already, Obama should read the book. As British writer John Berger has said of Eduardo Galeano, “To publish Eduardo Galeano is to publish the enemy: the enemy of lies, indifference, above all of forgetfulness. Thanks to him, our crimes will be remembered. His tenderness is devastating, his truthfulness furious.”

R.I.P. Eduardo Galeano. There are probably few things that would make him happier than if the embargo were buried as well. *** Denis Moynihan contributed research to this column. *** Amy Goodman is the host of “Democracy Now!,” a daily international TV/radio news hour airing on more than 1,300 stations.

Letter to the editor

One in 68 From Kathy Ralston

Creston

Do you know what one in 68 refers to? If you attended Creston’s third annual Autism Awareness 5K last Saturday you may have a better idea. In 2014, the CDC announced that current research shows one in every 68 children is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The more our communities become engaged in education and awareness, the better the quality of life for our friends and family members who have ASD. The 2015 planning committee would like to thank our generous sponsors and contributors who helped make this a successful day of celebration and awareness,

particularly our major sponsors: Bunn, Chat Mobility, Greater Regional Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, Hy-Vee, Iowa Focus, Iowa State Savings Bank, KSIB, and Ben Adamson State Farm Insurance.

A special thanks to our collaborative volunteer team comprised of Southwestern Community College Administrative and Athletic Departments, Creston High School SADD members, Ms. Fry’s art students, Creston High School Athletic Department, missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Iowa Focus, Bunn and individuals. Your time, dedication, and energy is very appreciated.

We like to hear from you!

Fox Sports incited outrage from sportswriters HOLLYWOOD—God Bless America and how’s everybody?

Hillary Clinton vowed increased security at the White House Monday in light of recent Secret Service lapses. She and her husband run a tight ship. Fawn Hall smuggled secret documents out of Ronald Reagan’s White House in her underwear, and Bill Clinton would never have let that happen.

Ben Affleck lobbied PBS to edit out his family’s slave-owning past for the PBS series Find Your Roots hosted by Professor Henry Gates. It’s easy to see why. Actors have a superstition that that anything on your resume that gets you work at Colonial Williamsburg will cost you work in Hollywood.

The Philadelphia Eagles announced Monday they have signed Tim Tebow to join the team this spring. He is risen. After last week’s first-degree murder conviction of Aaron Hernandez, everybody said it would take an act of God to restore the public’s faith in the NFL, and they got the next best thing.

Willie Nelson announced Monday he will endorse his own brand of marijuana in states where it can legally be sold recreationally. Willie will turn eighty-two in two weeks and he says that he’s in perfect health. That upsets him because you can’t get a marijuana card in California unless you’re sick.

Fox Sports incited outrage from sportswriters by adding Pete Rose

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

to its Major League Baseball studio panel of experts before TV games. However there’s very little public anger about his problem.

The toll-free Gambling Addiction Hotline would be a lot busier if they made the first five calls a winner.

The Boston Marathon was run Monday just as a Boston jury was deciding the fate of marathon bomber Djokhar Tsarnayev.

During the manhunt, the police found him hiding in a boat in a garden. It appears that the Chechens know a lot more about pressure cooker bombs than they do about sailing.

The FBI continued its sweep of people arrested for attempting to fly to the Middle East and join the ISIS terror group in Syria. They say the homegrown terrorists are the hardest to uncover. The latest suspect was raised in Michigan and quickly became a Lions fan, especially after he saw The Robe.

Senator Claire McCaskill said Sunday the GOP outrage over Hillary Clinton’s deleted e-mail is partisan politics. Next they’ll say it was an honest mistake. A laptop allows you to make more mistakes than any other invention in the

history of mankind with the possible exception of handguns and tequila.

Hillary Clinton arrived in New Hampshire to campaign Monday after spending a previous week in Iowa listening to what the people have to say. It was a strategy that’s best for everybody. Hillary listens to the people because if the people want to listen to Hillary it costs two hundred thousand dollars.

Clinton Cash is a new book which says that Hillary Clinton made favorable U.S. policy decisions to nations who gave to the Clinton Foundation. It says she favored those who paid Bill huge speaking fees. If true, Hillary’s just a voter fraud charge away from completing her doctorate in Chicago Studies.

The Coachella Music Festival drew seventy-five thousand music fans to the Southern California desert this past weekend where the L.A. crowd mixed with bikers, rednecks and gang-bangers. It was quite an eyeful. You used to have to go to the circus to see the fat, tattooed lady, now they’re everywhere .

Oklahoma prison officials reported they will begin executing condemned prisoners on death row using nitrogen. It’s an inert gas and non-flammable. When they give the prisoner his last cigarette, everyone within the blast radius will be praying that the supply officer didn’t accidentally buy hydrogen.

BUSINESS/FARM

Grants available to help promote specialty crops DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey reminds Iowans the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship is accepting applications for grant funding through the Specialty Crop Block Grant program.

The grants are available to support projects that enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops grown in Iowa.

The final funding level for the program this year has not yet been finalized by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, which administers the program, but Iowa received $307,610 in funding in 2014, and it is

anticipated the state will receive a similar level in 2015.

“The Specialty Crop Block Grant funds can support food safety, research and marketing efforts that will encourage Iowans to choose the products that are produced right here in our state,” Northey said.

“Specialty crops are a very important part of Iowa agriculture as they allow farmers to diversify and give customers access to locally grown products.”

Grant funds shall be used for projects that solely enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops that benefit the specialty crop industry as a whole and will not

be awarded for projects that directly benefit a particular product or provide a profit to a single organization, institution or individual.

Iowa agencies, universities, institutions, and producer, industry, and community-based organizations are all eligible to apply for funding to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops. In addition, single organizations, institutions, and individuals are encouraged to participate as project partners.

Grant awards will be considered up to a maximum of $24,000 and projects can have a duration of up to 30 months or 2 1/2 years.

“Specialty Crops” that are eligible under this program are fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits and horticulture and nursery crops, including floriculture. Both fresh and processed specialty crops are eligible.

Proposals must be received by IDALS on or before 4 p.m. May 1. For more information, visit the IDALS Specialty Crop Block Grant program at the department’s website www.

IowaAgriculture.gov/Horticulture_and_FarmersMarkets/specialtyCropGrant. asp.

In addition, to ensure that funds are used in the most

efficient manner possible, the department is asking specialty crop stakeholders and organizations to submit public comments on program priorities. The comments will help the department identify priorities; establish the criteria used to evaluate the projects proposed for funding, and to determine how the reviews are conducted.

Iowans interested in submitting comments about the program can do so online by emailing HorticultureAndFarmersMarkets@IowaAgriculture.gov or by mail to Horticulture and Farmers Market Bureau, Iowa Department of Agriculture

and Land Stewardship, 502 E. Ninth, Des Moines, IA 50319. Comments received

by May 1 will be presented to the review committee to assist in prioritizing projects.

“The Specialty Crop Block Grant program has been a tremendous benefit to Iowa and it is important we understand the priorities of the specialty crop producers as we consider this year’s applications,” Northey said. “The public comments will allow us to hear from all segments of Iowa’s specialty crop industries and give them a means to participate in the decisions surrounding this program.”

Seeing red is OK in eggs Dear Heloise: Too often, I find a tiny speck of red in ORGANIC EGGS, regardless of the brand I buy. Are these eggs safe to consume?

This has been an issue with “regular” eggs, but with much less frequency. I discarded those eggs in the past.

— Donna M., Fort Wayne, Ind. Donna, don’t discard (throw out) those eggs. They are safe to eat. It doesn’t matter if the eggs are regular, organic or even blue! That little speck is a blood spot (aka meat spot) and means the eggs are very fresh. Older eggs generally do not have a blood spot because there is more water in the yolk, which dissolves the spot. — Heloise HOMEMADE CROUTONS Dear Heloise: Here is an easy method for making homemade croutons: After drying leftover hamburger buns or bread, use kitchen scissors and cut the dried bread into 1/2- to 3/4-inch strips, then into bite-size pieces. — M. Rose, New Bremen, Ohio Why waste old bread when you can use it for delicious croutons, toppings or filler?

Or just crumble up the bread to use in recipes, such as fill-

Hints from Heloise er in meatloaf or to thicken a stew. For other money-saving food substitutions, there are a lot listed in my Heloise’s Seasonings, Sauces and Substitutes pamphlet. To order, go online to www.Heloise. com, or send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/ SSS, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. For a different filler in meatloaf, try crushed pretzels, potato chips or crackers. — Heloise CAKE MIX Dear Heloise: I often make cake using doctored-up cakemix recipes. Most of the recipes I find use an 18.5-ounce box of cake mix. Most available cake mixes are 16.5 ounces.

I have a box of white cake mix in a sealed container. I use 2 ounces (or about 5 tablespoons) of this to add to such recipes. This has worked on recipes regardless of the cake-mix variety. — Beverly, via email HMMM? I looked in my

pantry and found three different weights — 16.5 ounces, 16 ounces and 15.25 ounces. It pays to look at the fine print! I’ve never had a problem using them in a recipe, but older recipes do state an 18.5-ounce cake mix. — Heloise USE AND ROTATE Dear Heloise: Referring to the reader who had purchased a supply of canned goods for emergency use: The person missed the point of emergency storage. It should be used and restocked periodically. That way, the use-by dates will never be passed.

Very good suggestion, and a money-saving one, too! — Heloise MEATLOAF JUICES Dear Heloise: Regarding your article about draining meatloaf, I put the liquid in the refrigerator, skim off the solidified fat and use it in soups or to make gravy.

It’s too good to throw away.

National Digest

Schedule released NEW YORK — The NFL released the 2015 schedule on Tuesday night, with the opener scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 10 at the home of the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.

The Pats will host Pittsburgh on NBC in maintaining the tradition of the Super Bowl champion playing at home to start the season.

The first week of the season is also highlighted by three other primetime games: New York (Giants) at Dallas on Sunday (Sept. 13) at 7:30 on NBC and a Monday night doubleheader on ESPN, with Philadelphia at Atlanta (6:10 p.m.) and Minnesota at San Francisco (9:20 p.m.).

Cavs up 2-0 CLEVELAND (AP) — The Celtics wouldn’t go away, and then LeBron James showed them the door.

James scored 30 points — 15 in the fourth quarter — and Kyrie Irving added 26 as the Cleveland Cavaliers finally shook off Boston in the fourth quarter for 99-91 victory Tuesday night to take a 2-0 lead in their opening-round series.

James moved past Hall of Famer Jerry West on the career playoff scoring list and made sure the Cavs didn’t slip up at home. He took over the game down the stretch and he and Irving, playing in just his second postseason game, combined for all of Cleveland’s 24 points in the final period and the Cavs’ final 28 over the last 17:29.

Timofey Mozgov added 16 points, Kevin Love had 13 and Tristan Thompson had 11 rebounds for Cleveland, which has had a tougher time than expected with a young Boston team.

Isaiah Thomas scored 22 points for the Celtics, who scrapped and clawed until the final minutes. Boston’s bench outscored Cleveland’s 51-7, but the Celtics couldn’t stop James and Irving when it mattered most.

DMACC goes 3-1 in series here

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

Southwestern’s baseball team salvaged one win in a four-game series with Des Moines Area Community College in a pair of windswept doubleheaders here Monday and Tuesday.

The Spartans defeated the Bears 6-5 in Tuesday’s opener. Joshua Santiago started on the mound and all o w e d only one run to s c o r e while he Santiago was pitching for 6 2/3 innings. But three of his baserunners also scored as DMACC closed a 6-1 game to 6-5 before the Spartans recorded the final out for the win.

Eric Bueno drove in a run with a triple in the game, Samuel Vega went 2-of-3 and Erich Gonzales had a hit with two RBI. The second game Tuesday was much like the end of the nightcap on Monday. DMACC rolled to a 17-2 win. DMACC broke away to an 8-2 lead after Matt Mayden’s home run and tied it for the Spartans at 2-2 in the bottom of the first. Starting pitcher London Collins lasted only 1 2/3 innings.

The games were played in temperatures in the low 50s and steady northwest winds of 28 mph, and gusts

to 40 mph.

Conditions were similar on Monday. The series opened with a 10-9 DMACC victory on the strength of two three-run homers.

“John Bisignano pitched well for us, he just got behind in the count a couple of times and gave up two long balls,” SWCC coach Pedro Hernandez said.

“We had an opportunity late, runner on third with one out in the last inning, but couldn’t get him home.”

The Spartans outhit the Bears 15-13. Vega went 4-of-5 with two RBI, Omar Frias hit a home run and single with four RBI and Misael Lebron drove in two runs Frias on two hits.

Sophomore pitcher Ethan Westphal of Lenox and Martensdale-St. M a r y s w a s locked in a pitching duel for six in- Westphal nings with DMACC lefty Mike Peters of Rock Island, Ill. The game was tied 3-3 when Westphal left after exceeding 100 pitches. Westphal fanned eight and allowed 11 hits in six innings.

SWCC Hall of Famer Bill Krejci, retired athletic director and coach at the college, prepares to start an inning as home plate umpire during the second game of Monday’s doubleheader against DMACC.

It was later tied 5-5, then DMACC went ahead 8-5 in the eighth of the nine-inning affair, and all of a sudden it became a rout as the Bears plated 10 runs in the top of the ninth in an 18-5 victory.

“They had a runner on base, hit a ground ball for a DP ball, but we missed the ball,” Hernandez said.

“Then a single, a walk a double and an error on a throw. That inning we had three errors and they had five hits. We had our opportunities to win two of the four games. Thankful-

ly, we got one of them.”

Plate umpire in the second game was Bill Krejci, retired SWCC athletic director and coach now living in Ankeny.

DMACC is fourth in the league at 12-8 and 25-16 overall.

Southwestern, seventh in the league at 5-15 and 10-27 overall, was scheduled to play at Indian Hills today, but late Tuesday Hernandez said that game would possibly be moved to Thursday since Indian Hills also played on both Monday and Tuesday.

Both teams had used a lot of pitchers early in the week.

This weekend the Spartans travel to Mason City to take on a power-hitting NIACC team sitting third in the league at 13-7, and 29-11 overall.

“They are number three in the nation in home runs,” Hernandez said.

“They have some thunder in their bats, and one very good pitcher. We’ll go up there and hopefully play well enough to compete with them.”

MOUNT AYR — East Union and Mount Ayr turned Tuesday’s five-team boys competition into a battle between two teams here at Mount Ayr Golf and Country Club, with East Union winning the close battle.

The Eagles posted a team score of 184 for a five-stroke victory over the Raiders.

Martensdale-St. Marys recorded a team score of 204.

On the girls side, Mount Ayr picked up its first team

win of the season, shooting 228 as a team, with Wayne scoring 258 and Southeast Warren finished third with a 276.

After a shaky start, East Union senior Cole Campbell settled down by recording fours on the final five holes of the course to post a 6-over par 41. Martensdale-St. Marys’ Grant Crowell also finished with a round of 41, with Campbell winning the card-off for medalist honors.

Clayton Miller shot a round of 44 for East Union, while Sanden Cheers carded a 49. Gavin Cline rounded

out the team scoring with his nine-hole score of 50.

“On a cool and very windy evening, the boys did enough to take the victory,” East Union head coach Dave Campbell said. “But we must improve from inside 100 yards to improve our scoring as a team.”

Mount Ayr senior Jake Ricker led the Raiders with his round of 42, while Russell Holmes shot a 44 and Connor Giles recorded a 45. Nathan Roberts rounded out the team scoring for Please see GOLF, page 9A

Rockets surge HOUSTON (AP) — Friends since preschool, but teammates for the first time since they were teenagers, Dwight Howard and Josh Smith have been itching for this opportunity.

On Tuesday night the Rockets teammates proved an unstoppable combination in a key run that helped Houston to a 111-99 victory over the Dallas Mavericks and a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference playoff series.

The Mavericks scored the first four points of the fourth quarter to take a three-point lead.

But with James Harden on the bench, Houston scored the next 11 points, powered by three alley-oop passes from Smith to Howard, who had 28 points, to take a 92-84 lead with about 8 minutes left.

GRIMES — Creston head girls track coach Clay Arnold said the lineup he put together here for Tuesday’s Fillie Invitational wasn’t intended to score a lot of points.

Yet, his team found itself right in the middle of a close three-way battle at the top of the team standings.

The Panthers ended up third with 95 points, trailing Carlisle’s 104.5 and Dallas Center-Grimes’ 98 points.

“It was nearly the worst conditions you could imagine, minus precipitation,” Arnold said. “I thought we really gutted a lot of stuff out. We didn’t even try to come up here and score any team points, and we almost won! Came down to the end and we only lost by nine.”

The Panthers got out to a good start on the track, winning three of the first five running events of the night.

Maria Mostek ran for the win in the windy conditions during the 3,000 meters, running 12:03.64.

Teammate Monica Powers finished eighth for a team point.

The 4x800 relay team of Breanna Wallace, Taylor Briley, Jami Sickels and Natalie Mostek followed that up with a first-place finish in 10:48.62.

“Natalie got the stick in third place, 9 seconds back,” Arnold said. “She chewed that up and won.”

The Creston distance medley relay team of Natalie Mostek, Briley, Raegen Smith and Lexie Little ran away from the field for the win in 4:46.94.

“Two girls that really

were outstanding tonight, wind didn’t bother them at all, were Raegen and Lexie,” Arnold said. “Both of them were really strong.

Raegen has just been a beast every meet this year.

S h e ’ s tearing it up. Rae- Smith gen ran a great 65flat in that wind.”

Natalie Mostek and Briley finished first and second in the 800 meters, running 2:31.29 and 2:33.14, respectively.

“We loaded up that open 800,” Arnold said. “I thought they both ran really good races, very smart tactically. That was a big 18 points for us.”

The final event of the night saw a close finish, as Gilbert edged out Creston by .2 seconds for the victory in the 4x400 relay.

Gilbert’s anchor caught Natalie Mostek with about 5 meters left in the race to clip the Panthers at the line.

The sprint medley relay team of Cayla Maitlen, Amber Castillo, Smith and Wallace finished third in 2:02.66.

The Panthers got important team points from Little and Rachel Shepherd in the 400 meter hurdles. Little finished fourth a n d Shepherd sixth, b o t h coming out of the slow heat. Little Kiersten Latham Please see PANTHERS, page 9A

Chariton girls edge Creston, 2-1 Panthers place four at

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

CHARITON — It was another case of too little, too late for the Creston girls soccer team in a 2-1 loss Tuesday night.

Chariton finally broke through 36 minutes into the game for a 1-0 halftime lead, and made it 2-0 17 minutes into the second half.

The Panthers got on the board on a breakaway goal

by Shelby Palser. The play occurred w i t h 16:32 left, and the Panthers were unable to muster a n o t h e r Palser scoring combination to tie it.

The match was played in cool, windy conditions with a light rain that began to fall, dousing chilled players throughout the entire 30-minute JV contest.

“They had the wind in

the first half,” said Creston coach Kim Lauffer. “It hindered players on punts and things, but really they were just beating us to the ball too many times. On defense we would have chances to poke it free to our players. We would clear it, but Chariton would win it and come right back on us.

We need to step in front of them on the ball, get that first touch.”

The Panther coach said the team’s goal was wellplayed.

“It was sent to Shelby from the outside,” Lauffer said. “She broke away from the defense and stuck it in the net. She got it outside the 18 and took it inside the box before sending it in.”

Taquana Williams returned to her post in the net for the Panthers with a solid 12-save effort. Palser finished with a team-high six shots and Savannah Hartman and Hanna Luther had five each.

The team was missing three players — Logan Pettit with a concussion recovery and Taylor Sorrells and Jordan Moreland, who had been at the State FFA Con-

vention earlier in the day.

The Panthers (0-6) host Riverside at 5 p.m. Thursday. Creston has not won since defeating Riverside at home last season on a goal

by Hartman in overtime.

“We’ll play Riverside again next Friday, and we play Chariton again,” Lauffer said. “We can beat those teams. Maintaining possession is the key for us.

We have to have that drive to win the ball. When we have the ball, we’re doing some good things.”

Chariton won the JV match, scoring 12 minutes into the 30-minute contest.

The Chargers owned a 6-2 edge in shots on goal. Kalan Bloodgood and Vicky Borha shot for the Panthers. Shelby Palser had five saves.

Chariton 2, Creston 1 Creston (1) — Shelby Palser 16:32 second half. Shots (on goal) — 21 (12 on goal).

Individual shots (on goal)— Shelby Palser 6 (5 on goal), Hanna Luther 5 (2 on goal), Savannah Hartman 5 (3 on goal), Maddie Travis 2, Corissa Kinkade 1, Angelica Claytor 1 (1 on goal). Keeper saves — Taquana Williams 12.

Chariton (2) — Maddie Koska 36:01; Nina Kiefer 57:02. Shots (on goal) — 28 (16 on goal).

HUXLEY — The Creston boys track team battled a strong wind from the northwest and saw new competition here Tuesday at the Ballard Classic.

The Panthers finished seventh in the eight-team Class A standings, scoring 21 points. Carlisle pulled away from the field with 149 points for the win, with Gilbert finishing second with 119 points.

Creston had four placewinners on the night, highlighted by Drake Relays qualifiers in the 800 meters Jay Wolfe and Bryce Briley finishing first and third in the 400 meter dash.

Wolfe picked up the win, running 50.66. He came off the final curve slightly trailing Carlisle’s T y r e l l Wolfe Erb, but pulled away coming down the homestretch.

Each team at the meet had a designated lane assignment, which meant that only one runner from each school could be in a single heat in the sprint events.

Because of that Briley had to run in the first heat, with Wolfe in the second heat.

Briley ran away from the competitors in the first heat, running 52.37, which held up for third overall. Gilbert’s Wyatt Rhoads, son of Iowa State University head football coach Paul Rhoads, finished fourth in 52.48.

“We hadn’t ran Jay or Bryce in the open 400 yet,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “We wanted to get a 400 time out of them and we wanted to back off out of the 800, with them running the Drake Relays

on Friday. Would have been nice for those guys to run against each other.”

Briley and Wolfe ran the final two legs of the fourthplace 4x400 relay for the Panthers, with senior Alex Tamerius leading off and Nick Walsh running the second leg.

The Panther quartet ran 3:41.44. It was a quick turnaround on the second leg for Walsh, who ran a season’s best 2:13.65 in the 800 meters just minutes before the 4x400.

“Nick Walsh, he was out of the money in the 800, but ran a 2:13 for his season’s b e s t , ” Schlapia said. Walsh “We battled back and took fourth with that (4x400). That was a nice race to see.”

The Creston 4x800 relay team of Walsh, along with freshmen Dalten Bierle, Cole Higgins and Cody Wagner, ran 10:00.17 for sixth place.

“With Nick running leadoff, there were people to run with,” Schlapia said. “As we got going, there were gaps.

Dalten, Cole and Cody, they were running on their own. There wasn’t anybody to break the wind for them.

Running 10 minutes shows you what the wind was doing.”

Freshman Trevor Downing was also close to placing in the throwing events.

Downing’s mark of 39-1 in the shot put just missed out, while his throw of 99-1 in the discus was in the ballpark.

Creston was shorthanded at the meet, as sophomore thrower Cody Tanner was held out with a back injury and freshman sprinter Joe Eblen was held out with a quad injury. The Panthers

did get junior Seth Maitlen back from his mission trip to Guatemala.

“Our boys went out there and gave it their best shot,” Schlapia said. “We’re kind of seeing what we are going to be able to do with conference and with the State Qualifying Meet. We’re still looking for some answers.”

Wolfe and Briley run in the Drake Relays high school boys 800 meters at 1:55 p.m. Friday.

The Panthers return to action as a team 4:45 p.m.

Tuesday at Carlisle.

‘Saints, Soldiers, Spies’ on stage May 2 CORNING — Pippa White’s “part theatre, part storytelling, part history” presentation of “Saints, Soldiers, Spies: Women and War” will be presented 7 p.m. May 2 at the historic Corning Opera House Cultural Center, 800 Davis Ave. White has toured more than 30 states with her unique, captivating and touching solo storytelling productions.

White began her solo career in 1994 after an extensive career in theatre and television on the West Coast. Her well-researched performances are entertainment wrapped in history intertwined with inspiration. In “Saints, Soldiers and Spies” she explores the roles women have played in war by retelling women’s experiences, proof that women in war have never been only on the sidelines.

In this story, White shares history with a perfect blend of sadness and humor, excitement and empathy, while showing the strength of women, states Katherine Schlageck from the Kansas State University.

Audience members are encouraged to wear a historic hat. The opera house will have hats to choose from for audience mem-
