AMES (MCT) — Iowa State University says five departmental storage servers containing the Social Security numbers of thousands of students has been hacked.

Officials at ISU made the announcement Tuesday, saying there is no evidence any data files were accessed. The servers contained Social Security numbers of 29,780 students enrolled at ISU between 1995 and 2012, according to a news release issued Tuesday.

Officials say there was no student financial information in the records.

“We don’t believe our students’ n The servpersonal informaers contained tion was a target in Social Security this incident, but it was exposed,” Senumbers of nior Vice President 29,780 students and Provost Jonaenrolled at ISU than Wickert said in the news release. between 1995 The Social Secuand 2012. rity numbers that were exposed were of students who took a class in computer science between 1995 and 2005, world languages and cultures in 2004, 2007 or from 2011 to 2012, or materials science and engineering in 2001.

Two other servers, one located in agricultural and biosystems engineering and the other in materials science and engineering, were accessed, but didn’t contain any personal information, the press release said.

The university mailed letters Tuesday to all the people whose Social Security numbers were on the compromised servers, as well as to 18,949 students whose university ID numbers were on the same servers. University IDs don’t have any use outside campus.

University officials have notified law enforcement of the security breach, and are providing a year of free credit monitoring for all the people whose Social Security numbers were exposed, according to the press release.

“Iowa State has always taken information security very seriously, and we will continue to take every possible action to safeguard the personal information of those who learn and

Half as long, but just as good.

Creston High School students have put together oneact plays for Friday.

The plays, which last between 30 and 45 minutes, are directed by seniors Kim Alley, Ben Mullin, Liam Ray and Annette Reasoner. Actors are made up of 28 freshmen and sophomores.

Mullin and Ray’s play is called “Bank Robbery,” and Alley and Reasoner’s play is “How I Learned to Stop Being Afraid of My Gym Teacher.”

“Everybody likes the one acts because they’re fun,” Alley said. “They’re usually comedy.”

There will be five freshmen and sophomores acting in Mullin and Ray’s play, and 23 students acting in Alley and Reasoner’s play. The students take advantage of this opportunity because it allows them another chance to be active in

high school drama after the school play and musical are over.

“This is really exciting. It’s so much fun because we get to do this together,” Reasoner said. “We work really well together and I think it shows in our play.”

The students will put on the plays twice. The first performance will be during the school day Friday for Creston Elementary and Middle school students. The second performace, which is open to the community, is 7 p.m. Friday at Creston High School

auditorium. Cost is $3 for students and senior citizens, and $5 for adults.

“It has always been a fun thing to put together our own play,” Mullin said. “It’s been a really great experience and we have a really great cast, so this will be a good performance.”

Grassley concerned about ISU fraud U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, continues to press for answers about the handling of fraudulent AIDS vaccine research conducted by a former Iowa State University scientist.

The scientist, Dong Pyou Han, falsified research that helped secure millions of dollars in federal grants by contaminating rabbit blood with human antibodies, mak-

ing it appear to show promise in neutralizing strains of the HIV virus. Han subsequently resigned and was slapped with a three-year federal research ban from the HHS Office of Research Integrity (ORI), but the grant money has not been returned.

On Monday, Grassley sent a letter to Kathleen Sebelius, the departing secretary of the Department of Health and

Human Services (HHS), urging her to respond to a series of eight questions related to “problematic policies in your department” that he believes may have contributed to the grant money not being recovered.

“Specifically, it appears that bureaucratic red tape is keeping ORI from being more effective at its mission,” Grassley wrote.

Charles “Chuck” Brightwell, 76, of Creston died April 20, 2014, at his home.

Charles “Chuck” Dennis Brightwell, son of Doris Mildred (Fieght) and Charles Theodore Brightwell, was born Sept. 24, 1937, in Des Moines.

Charles graduated from Des Moines Tech High School in 1955.

On June 6, 1959, Charles married Lynne Grace Miller in Manilla.

Charles and his family lived in Des Moines, and then moved to West Virginia in 1973. They returned to Iowa and lived in Dow City, Denison and Defiance, before moving to Creston.

Charles performed maintenance for several different companies, mostly in Des Moines. He worked in the meat packing industry in Denison for several years.

After retirement, Charles moved to Creston in June 2003. He worked part-time for O’Reilly Auto Parts and delivered parts to customers.

Charles is survived by his children, Dennis (Christina) Brightwell of Council Bluffs, Doug (Benita) Brightwell of Creston and Cynthia Brightwell of Council Bluffs; and grandchildren, Kristopher, Mickeal, Kaitlin (fiancé Cory Dorsey) and Emma Brightwell and Amanda Palmer and Curtis Vrba.

Charles was preceded in death by his parents and wife in November 2003.

Adair County joins movement to help prevent child abuse GREENFIELD — Hundreds of communities across the nation participate in Child Abuse Prevention Month by raising awareness that child abuse is preventable and what community members can do to ensure families are supported. By providing services and resources to caregivers, Adair County’s local Prevent Child Abuse Council — Success4Kids Council — is dedicated to making Adair County a place where children grow up safe, nurtured and able to reach their full potential.

“Child Abuse Prevention Month is a time for communities to recognize the role they play in promoting the social and emotional well-being of children and families,” said Steve Scott, executive director of Prevent Child Abuse Iowa. “Creating a strong foundation in the early years of a child’s life leads to better outcomes in health, learning and productivity throughout a lifetime. By working with caregivers to prevent child abuse, we’re building a stronger community for the future.”

Success4Kids invites community members to celebrate and support families this month.

Adair County Health System hosted a “blue-out” day April 4. Rumble Tumble Night was held April 14 at Adair County Health and Fitness Center in Greenfield.

A variety of vendors/services hosted activities for families with young children, while also providing information about what services they offer.

A few of the vendors included: Parents as Teachers, Adair County Health System, ISU Extension and Outreach, 4RKids and Community Partnerships for Protecting Children.

Throughout the year, Success4Kids Council works to help caregivers gain the knowledge, skills, resources and support they need to provide healthy environments for their children.

“Pinwheels for Prevention” are distributed at local agencies serving young families, including local libraries.

Information about child abuse pre-

vention activities is shared on local websites and newsletters, including Extension, 4RKids and Adair County Health System.

“To promote this year’s Prevent Child Abuse’s theme – Healthy Families – kids at Sunshine Day Care and Nodaway Valley third and fourth graders colored paper bags showing their idea of a health family,” said Stephanie Claussen, community health coordinator and Success4Kids Council chairperson. “The bags will be available until gone at Fareway in Greenfield and Nodaway Valley Market in Fontanelle. Be sure to ask for yours at your next grocery trip.”

The Success4Kids Council serves all families with children ages 0-18.

Current programs administered through the council include part of SWCC’s Adair County Parents-as-Teachers program.

For more information, contact Claussen at sclaussen@adaircountyhomecare.org or Council Secretary Angie Engles at powella@iastate.edu.

director David Wright, who wrote in February that he was departing the agency because he had spent up to 65 percent of his time “navigating the remarkably dysfunctional HHS bureaucracy to secure resources and … get permission for ORI to serve the research community.”

In February, Grassley sent a letter to Wright questioning the appropriateness of ORI’s sanctions in the ISU case. In March, Wright’s replacement, acting director Donald Wright (no relation), responded to the letter but did not clarify whether his agency would attempt to recover $4 million of $19 million in grant money that hadn’t been spent.

In the letter, Donald Wright also suggested that research directors such as Michael Cho, a biomedical sciences professor at ISU who led the AIDS vaccine team, were not usually sanctioned for fraud such as Han’s because it was “the result of poor mentorship or supervision and not intentional research misconduct on their part.”

Grassley was not satisfied with the response and, in early April, sent a second letter to Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

According to Grassley spokeswoman Jill Gerber, NIH said it was working on responding to those questions and would provide an update to Grassley’s office by the end of the week.

The letter Grassley sent to Sebelius questioned whether the agency reports directly to her as intended when Congress established it in 1993, what authority ORI has in research misconduct investigations, whether the recovery of grant money would be an appropriate response by ORI or another federal agency and if ORI had attempted to recover funds in the past.

Grassley asked Sebelius to respond to his questions

by May 5.

“We have received the request from Sen. Grassley’s office and plan to respond to it,” HHS spokeswoman Tara Broido said.

“We do not believe it would be appropriate to comment on this before that time.”

OPINION The Beat of Bishop Castle

RYE, Colo. — There are different drummers, and then there are different drummers.

Jim Bishop has been marching to a really strange one for four decades now, building a castle, Bishop Castle, all by himself, rock by rock, a monument that now rises 160 feet toward the heavens in the San Isabel National Forest between Pueblo and Colorado Springs. Its fire-breathing dragon won’t blow smoke through its nostrils till weekends after Memorial Day, but already there are dozens of tourists climbing and crawling about the impressive towers. Children are negotiating the catwalks and turrets with abandon. Adults are holding on for dear life.

When I first drive up to Bishop Castle, I wish I were the late, great Ernie Pyle, stumbling upon a sight nobody else has ever seen, the first to share it with the world

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

through newspaper word pictures.

It doesn’t happen that way much anymore.

Jim Bishop has been on television. He’s all over the Internet.

Reporters from Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Dallas — and, of course, Colorado — have been here. If you Google “Jim Bishop” you can see photographs and read all about the castle on Jim Bishop’s website or Wikipedia. You can watch Bishop’s anti-government rants on YouTube. Depending on the narrator, Bishop is either a national hero or a serious nutcase, you decide.

I don’t know where you’d have

to go to “discover” something first anymore, but it would be a lot more remote than at 9,000-foot elevation near Rye, Colo. Mars, perhaps.

You can argue with his politics, but you can’t argue with the castle.

With foundations 12 feet deep, its basic three stories aren’t the half of it; spiraling wrought-iron garnishes and towers seem to disappear into a sky the color of Windex.

Jim Bishop used no blueprints or written plans, but has kept at it since 1969, adding a moat here, a dungeon there, the dragon with its neck built out of donated stainlesssteel warming plates headed to a dump from a Pueblo hospital. The castle won’t be done till he’s done, and he looks plenty healthy. The day I visit, he’s burning brush. “Enjoy yourself, tell people, word of mouth is important,” he says with a distracted air. There are no rants.

Jim Bishop bought the land with

the help of his parents when he was 15 years old. He saved the $450 it cost from throwing newspapers, cutting grass and helping at his father’s ornamental iron business.

He started work on a cabin at the site 10 years later, and friends kept remarking the stone construction looked like a castle. His imagination took over. A castle!

Jim harvested the granite, with permission, from the national forest, and estimates he’s handled each stone at least six times. He uses cables, blocks and pulleys, come-alongs and tripods that he has designed and built. Working from the ground up, he’s become used to heights.

Even the Internal Revenue Service and local zoning officials couldn’t stop the castle from rising.

“Love” letters to pesky government officials line the walks into what amounts to a perpetual con-

struction zone. Oddball flourishes — stained glass of a rocker playing guitar, an Excalibur sword in a rock, a wringer washing machine in the banquet hall — make this the most bizarre beautiful thing you’ve ever seen.

So what if I’m not the first to drive up to the moat, park my car and walk boards over mud to the steep stairs? So what if I don’t write about it first? We can’t all be the first to step foot on the moon, or hit a golf ball across its pocked surface. But all of us can dance in the moonlight.

Letters to the editor

Let’s work together From Lynne Schlaht Creston

In regards to Brian Zachary’s letter to the editor concerning a home for an art center, I have a wonderful solution provided the business sector, industries and citizens of Creston get busy, pull together and provide our town with an updated library.

Moving the city library from its current location to the old Lincoln School would then enable the old library to become Creston’s art center. It’s as simple as that.

The building is large enough to provide storage for supplies,

space for classes and workshops, not to mention display area for local artists. The space in uptown, it has an outside entrance, electricity, sink and bathroom — all criteria for Creston:Arts.

As I see it, it is a win-win situation.

Creston’s industries, businesses and citizens need to act fast. I know the Creston City Council is not going to wait forever for the library to be moved. Fundraising needs to get done, the library needs to be moved, and then a new art center can go in at 200 W. Howard.

It’s good that we have observed 40 Days for Life From Lyndon Davenport Diagonal

The formal part of 40 Days for Life has ended, but the pro-life effort goes on. We informed the community that abortions are still performed here in Creston through telemed (web cam) technology.

Through our on-site prayer vigils, in all kinds of weather, we showed our dedication to our purpose to “pray to end abortion.” We were also able to get literature into the hands of some people describing the details and dangers of webcam abortions.

While we did encounter, during the first few days, a certain amount of apathy and indifference towards the issue of abortion, we were en-

couraged to see God use many opportunities to stir up the fire in many pro-life Christians.

Another result of our praying to end abortion is that we realized that there is a need for a pregnancy resource center (PRC) here, such as the Life Care Clinic in Stuart.

There are PRCs in many communities to meet the needs of women and men facing an unplanned pregnancy. The emphasis is on life and not death. Pregnancy tests, abortion alternatives, parenting education and material needs are some of the services provided. We are working on making this a reality.

It’s good that we have observed 40 Days for Life.

The Boston Marathon drew a record-crowd of flag-waving Americans HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Boston Marathon drew a record-crowd of flag-waving Americans to Boyleston Street to cheer the finish of the twenty-six mile race Monday. For the first time in years, an American won the race. Kenya joined Ethiopia in filing a formal protest with the United Nations.

Boston security was heavy during the race Monday, reflecting the Boston Strong response to last year’s terror attack. They found last year’s terrorist bomber in a boat in a garden. It appears his knowledge of pressure-cooker bombs is much greater than his knowledge of sailing.

Hawaiian Airlines reports a sixteen-year-old boy was unharmed after he stowed away in the wheel well of a flight from California to Maui Monday. It was his choice.

Airline officials conceded the boy’s point that he had more legroom and fresher air than the passengers in coach.

Chelsea Clinton made her parents very happy Friday by announcing that she’s expecting a baby this fall. The birth will cause warm family moments. You can just see Grandpa Bill making cute faces through the glass at the hospital nursery, and that’s just at the nursing staff.

undercooked meat. It’s considered a dangerous sign if your steak is so undercooked that it’s eating the salad.

Vladimir Putin added Russian troops to the Ukraine border Monday and built up Russian forces near the Baltic states and Byelorussia. Americans took notice.

Warren Buffett is now offering one billion dollars to whoever guesses all the nations Vladimir Putin invades correctly.

New York Times columnist David Brooks told Meet the Press President Obama has a manhood problem. That could change quickly. This week Mr. Obama is going to try to fly into and out of Malaysia safely, and if he succeeds he could overnight become an action-adventure hero.

Toronto mayor Rob Ford said at his re-election kick-off party in Toronto on Friday that he’s on the wagon and not drinking alcohol or doing drugs. That pretty much leaves food. When Rob Ford goes to McDonald’s, they speed up the line by asking him what he doesn’t want.

Pope Francis preached to one hundred and fifty thousand Catholics in St. Peter’s Square on Easter Sunday. He then went into the crowd where he was cheered

wildly by the faithful. The pope is a lot like Sherlock Holmes, he never dies, he just keeps being replaced by white men.

Tiger Woods was reported Monday still unfit to play in the U.S. Open. He had back surgery last month to repair a herniated disc.

In his next lesson for Golf Digest, he’s going to teach weekend golfers that whenever you pick up the waitress at the Pancake House, lift from the legs.

The Coachella Music Festival drew seventy-five thousand fans to the California desert on Easter where the L.A. crowd mixed with bikers, rockabillies, and gangbangers. It was quite an eyeful .

You used to have to go to the circus to see a fat tattooed lady, now they’re everywhere.

NFL former wide receiver and ESPN analyst Keyshawn Johnson was arrested at his home in California Monday on charges of spousal battery. He was a star at USC. A lot of kids grew up in Los Angeles wanting to be just like O.J. Simpson, but in the last eighteen years, only Keyshawn.

The King of Kings aired on TCM on Easter starring Jeffrey Hunter as Jesus Christ. Depicting the Prince of Peace as an AngloSaxon did not play well at the box office. After one hour, when Jesus didn’t conquer Rome, seduce Pontius Pilate’s daughter, sink the Spanish Armada, kill Dr. No, route the Apache Indians or bomb Tokyo, audience members got restless and walked out.

BUSINESS/FARM Angela Ruby, RN, recognized at Adair County Health System GREENFIELD — Adair County Health System awarded the 2014 DAISY award to Angela Ruby, RN. This award is given to recognize extraordinary nurses.

The DAISY award is sponsored by Mercy Health Network of Central Iowa.

This award was founded in 1999 in memory of J. Patrick Barnes who died at age 33 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura, thus giving name to the award “Diseases Attacking the Immune System” — DAISY. According to Adair County Health System, Ruby has practiced in a variety of patient care settings over the years and the medical/surgical bedside is where she shines her brightest. She makes her patients and families feel like they are the only ones around and gives them her full attention. She explains to patients and families what she will be doing

and how it will benefit the patient. She listens for their concerns and answers questions promptly. She eases the fear in patient’s eyes with her kind words and soft touch.

Ruby carries out provider orders in a timely fashion.

She displays leadership qualities as a charge nurse, delegating when necessary and always checking back in with staff to see if they need anything. She is a team player and is always helping others.

She is meticulous at providing care on time and goes the extra mile to make sure that happens. She volunteers for projects, trains new staff and provides extra encouragement at department meetings when staff may seem a little overwhelmed.

A surprise celebration for staff and family was held April 11 at Adair County Memorial Hospital. Ruby will be recognized in June Contributed photo at Mercy Medical Center in Adair County Health System RN Angela Ruby is recipient Des Moines. of the 2014 DAISY award.

Home sales slip in March across U.S.; price growth slows Home sales slipped across the U.S. in March as wouldbe buyers continue to grapple with tough credit standards and too few houses on the market.

Sales of previously owned homes — the bulk of the housing market — fell twotenths of a percent in March to their slowest pace in nearly two years, according to the National Association of Realtors. It was the third straight month of declines.

The median home price climbed, but not as fast as it has in recent months, up 7.9 percent to $198,500.

NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun said he expected the fundamentals of the market suggested that the sales slowdown would turn around soon.

“There really should be stronger levels of home sales, given our population growth,” he said. “With ongoing job creation and some weather-delayed shopping activity, home sales should pick up, especially if inventory continues to improve and mortgage interest rates rise only modestly.”

The number of homes on the market rose nearly 5 percent, to roughly 5.2 months’ worth of unsold homes available. That’s up from Feb-

ruary, but still below the six-month supply normally considered healthy. NAR President Steve Brown noted that supply is tighter at lower price points, which along with tight underwriting standards is making it hard for first-time buyers to get into the market. But, he said, growth in new-home construction and sales could make more entry-level homes available as people

trade up.

“Hopefully this will create more opportunities for firsttime buyers,” he said.

Sales of condominiums, which tend to be less expensive, fell more sharply than single-family homes, another sign of challenges at the lower end of the market. And the share of foreclosure and other distressed sales continued to dwindle, indicating fewer lower-priced homes

for sale.

Sales fell most sharply in the West, where regions such as Southern California have seen big drops in sales volume compared to last year.

Livestock Factories Impact County Residents Wherever We Live.

Reasons for YOU to be Concerned

ENVIRONMENT Iowa Water Pollution Nutrients, including nitrates and bacteria from over-concentrated animal production, has caused Iowa to be ranked 49th in the nation for impaired waters. Who is 50th?

Mississippi. In 2002, the Department of Natural Resources reported 238 impaired waterways in Iowa. By 2008, that number had grown to 542 impaired waterways and, today, that number stands at 630. As those numbers have grown, so have the costs for cities to make water safe for drinking.

Who pays that cost? You, the consumer. Bill Stowe of the Des Moines Waterworks is outspoken about the difficulty and expense of removing nitrates from the Raccoon and Des Moines rivers to make drinking water safe. Hog numbers in our state have risen to well over 20-million head in the past 10 years with no sign of decreasing. Manure spills from CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations) have doubled in that time. Manure spills into our lakes and rivers are often a result of operator negligence---pit overflows, transport leakage and sometimes plain negligence. USDA studies show that factory farmers often intentionally saturate manure on nearby fields to cut transportation costs, or simply because pits are full and they must be emptied. Only 18% apply manure at agronomic rates.

Air Pollution Toxic gaseshydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and particulate matter—can severely impact the health of neighbors. Especially if those neighbors are very young, very old, or have an impaired respiratory system. University of Iowa research indicates increased levels of respiratory allergies and asthma in children living near CAFOs or attending nearby schools. Neighbors often spend days at a time indoors when nearby CAFO emissions are at high levels or the wind is from a certain direction, or if there is no wind and emissions settle in low areas in the surrounding terrain.

Protection Iowa’s DNR is often underfunded and does not have staff to properly monitor and control pollution from CAFOs. Sincere and concerned DNR staff are hamstrung by weakened rules and political interference. Iowa has over 8,000 confined livestock operations and a DNR staff of less than 20 to see that regulations are properly enforced for the health of all Iowans.

ECOMOMIC IMPACT Devalued Homes Homes within 2 miles of a CAFO can lose up to 50% of their resale value according to Midwest appraisal studies. Some owners cannot sell their homes at all! Older Adair Countians often depend on the sale of their homes or acreages to help fund a move to town or to a care facility. Young people and retirees may think twice about coming “back home.” Residences that lose value will pay fewer taxes into county coffers. And those eventually abandoned will result in lost county revenues.

Tourists, visitors and campers visit local attractions, spending their dollars Local Businesses in county stores, businesses and other venues. Per capita income and main street retail sales rise.

Those dollars circulate throughout our communities, as well as sales taxes going into county revenues. But research shows local tourism is impacted and poverty levels rise where CAFOs proliferate. Campers often can’t swim in polluted Iowa lakes, or eat the fish they catch.

Keep in mind that - because ag taxes are based on productivity of the County Tax Revenue land - new building sites for CAFOs produce no added tax revenue for the county. Yet CAFO owners receive tax breaks for manure pits! Paradoxically, new commercial businesses will generate new commercial tax revenues for the county as do newly built homes.

Public Roads/Bridges Manure tankers pulled by tractors do not have load limits as do trucks and trailers. So Adair County roads and bridges are subject to increased wear and tear with no new tax revenue to help pay for higher maintenance. In addition, if there is a serious manure spill on roads or in ditches, the county must clean it up---at taxpayer expense, of course.

Microwave has standing orders Dear Heloise: Whenever I heat up a frozen meal in the MICROWAVE, one of the last directions is to allow the food to “stand in the microwave” for a few minutes before removing. Why is this?

— Ellen L. in Illinois Standing time means that the food is really still cooking a little longer. In a microwave, even when you turn it off or it stops, those little “waves” are still bouncing around! By letting the food “stand,” it finishes the cooking. Also, it’s a safety measure, especially with liquids.

It’s called superheating, and putting a spoon or fork in the dish too soon can cause the liquid to splash. — Heloise ADD TO SOUP Dear Heloise: After a party, I had a chunk of cream cheese with hot-pepper jelly left over. I put it into my potato soup. It was really good.

It made the soup a little more creamy, and the pepper jelly gave it a little more of a bite.

— Amelia S. in California Great hint, and a tasty one at that. Soup is a good way to stretch the food budget and use up what may be left over in the refrigerator. My

Hints from Heloise Heloise’s Spectacular Soups pamphlet is filled with family and friend recipes and hints to save you time in the kitchen. To order one, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Soups, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Save cheese rinds in the freezer and add them to soup for extra flavor.

— Heloise CELERY SEASONINGS Dear Heloise: Would you please explain the differences among celery seeds, celery flakes and celery salt? Which would be best for chickennoodle soup, as I never use a whole stalk of fresh celery?

— Ruth in California Sure I can! Celery seed is a dried fruit (seed), not like regular celery. It has a very strong flavor. It usually is used when making pickles, or it is added to pasta salad, potato salad or egg salad.

But use only a small dash,

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

because the taste is very intense.

Celery flakes are dried, chopped pieces of celery, including both the leaves and the stalk. The flakes can be used in place of fresh celery in recipes.

Of course, you won’t have that crunch, but the taste is pretty close.

Finally, celery salt is a mixture of celery seed and salt.

It can be used in coleslaw, potato salad, macaroni salad and tuna salad. — Heloise P.S.: A little goes a long way, so buy the smallest container you can.

SOFTER SPREAD Dear Heloise: I love your column in the Ventura County (Calif.) Star and BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker read it every morning.

I read the hint about spreading peanut butter with the back of a spoon so as not to tear the bread, and I was compelled to write my hint.

I put some peanut butter in a small, microwave-safe dish and heat it for several seconds until it becomes soft enough to spread easily. — Elaine G. in California (c)2014 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

‘Scaled back’ Panthers win two events at Ballard

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

HUXLEY — Despite not having key team members with a full load of events with the Drake Relays looming later this week, the Creston boys track team was able to win two events at the Ballard Classic Relays Tuesday night.

The four Drake Relays competitiors concentrated mostly on individual events Monday, and were not asked to run more than two races.

Plus, dual sport athletes Maxx Walters and Evan Nielsen were not present because of a golf meet — also hosted by Ballard.

Nonetheless, the Drake 4x800 relay qualifying unit of Bryce Briley, Cooper McDermott, Brandon Phipps and Jay Wolfe finished the night by winning the Class A 4x400 relay in 3:34.91.

They each placed in individual races, as well, led by Phipps taking second in the 3,200 meters in 9:55.90.Taking third were Wolfe in the 200, McDermott in the 1,600 and Briley in the 400.

The other victory for the night was by Trevor Luther, gaining his first gold medal in the discus throw at 125 feet.

As a team, Creston trailed the field of seven other teams in Class A with 49 points.

Dallas Center-Grimes topped

the Class A division with 105 points.

“We wanted to be competitive, but the way we lined up team-wise, it was not set up to get a lot of points,” Creston coach Pat Schlapia said. “We wanted to scale things back a bit and have those guys fresh.”

Briley, McDermott, Phipps and Wolfe are running the 4x800 at Drake Saturday morning, and Wolfe is in the boys 800 meters Friday afternoon.

For the most part, those four got some “speed work” in, Schlapia said, except for Phipps, who dipped under 10 minutes for the first time this season in just his second 3,200 race. Peter Smith of North Phipps Polk ran 9:47.50 in first place. Phipps was second in 9:55.90 and Luke KohutJackson of Ballard was third at 10:02.93.

“It was those three running at the front pretty much the whole race,” Schlapia said.

“Brandon opened up with a 4:55 in his first 1,600 and had a five-minute second mile.

That’s a good race for him.”

Briley ran a season-best 52.81 in the 400 meters and

led off the winning 4x400 realay with a 52.57 split.

“Bryce was in a very competitive open 400 field at this meet,” Schlapia said. “The first-place guy set a meet record and second place was only .06 ahead of Bryce.

Those were quality guys he was matched up with.”

Likewise, McDermott had a season-best time of 4:46.48 in taking third in the 1,600.

His previous best was 4:49.

“Two guys ran under 4:40, so Cooper was also up against some pretty stout competition tonight,” Schlapia said.

Wolfe took third in an extremely tight finish in the 200 meters. Tyrell Erb of Carlisle won in 22.83, Nevada’s Chase Dobson was second in 23.01 and Wofe took third at 23.03.

The seventh-place runner ran 23.49.

“You look at places two through seven, they were all within a half second of each other,” Schlapia said. “That was Jay’s best 200 time of the season. He and Bryce got in some good speed work tonight.”

Wolfe got the baton in third place in the 4x400 after Phipps kept the lead pack within range. Around the curve on his first 200 meters, Wolfe overtook the anchor runners from Ballard and North Polk

Gilbert tops Panther boys by 2 strokes

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

HUXLEY — Gilbert edged out defending Class 3A state team champion Creston/Orient-Macksburg and Ballard in a tight race for the team championship here Tuesday at the Ballard Invitational Tournament.

The top three teams were separated by just 10 strokes, with Gilbert beating out Creston/O-M for the top spot, 320-322. Ballard finished third with a team score of 332, followed by Nevada at 356.

“There was no four-peat championship of the Ballard Invitational Tournament for the Creston/O-M boys at The Harvester,” Creston/OM assistant coach Kristopher “Kritter” Hayes said. “Gilbert played much better golf

from top to bottom than we did today, and we tip our hats to them.”

Panther senior Carson Whittington shot 2-over par 74 to earn medalist honors for the Panthers.

H u n t e r Whittington Sickels finished in fourth place with his round of 79, while Christian Groumoutis placed ninth with a round of 82.

Coleton Hoepker rounded out the team scoring for the Panthers, shooting an 87.

“The Harvester will punch you straight in the mouth if you give it the chance to,” Hayes said. “We gave it plenty of chances to do just that.

It was a great learning expe-

rience for our team. It takes courage to overcome adversity. Good thing is, they have two more chances this week to do that when they play Thursday at Pine Valley and Friday at Crestmoor.”

Gilbert’s Garret Jenson took runner-up honors with his round of 76. Nash Bucher of Ballard finished third, shooting a round of 78.

The Panthers return to action at home Thursday Pine Valley against Southwest Valley and then host Clarke on Friday at Crestmoor.

The Harvester Team standings — 1. Gilbert 320, 2. Creston/O-M 322, 3.

Ballard 332, 4. Nevada 356.

Creston/O-M (322) — Carson Whittington 74, Hunter Sickels 79, Christian Groumoutis 82, Coleton Hoepker 87, Sam Hartsock 92, Maxx Walters 97, Kyle Somers 103, Evan Nielsen 105.

Gilbert (320) Ballard (332) Nevada (356) Medalist — Carson Whittington, Creston/O-M, 74.

Runner-up — Garret Jenson, Gilbert, 76.

Strong performances despite 8th-place finish for Panther girls

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

GRIMES — The Creston girls track team might have had its lowest finish in the team standings in head coach Clay Arnold’s tenure, but that doesn’t mean the Panthers didn’t perform well here Tuesday at the Fillie Invitational.

The Panthers finished eighth in the team standings with 51.50 points. ADM ran away with the team title, scoring 146 points.

“We got eighth place, which is the lowest place we’ve gotten in the last four years,” Arnold said. “But we saw a lot of great individual performances, really did. We were kind of flat there last week on Thursday, but I thought we really looked good tonight.

Ran some really good times in a lot of things.”

Junior Natalie Mostek had yet another big night for the Panthers. She started the evening off by clearing 4-10 in the high jump for fourth place.

“She is just barely missing

5-0,” Arnold said. “She’s going to get there.”

Mostek ran a strong 200-meter leg on the third place distance medley relay, splitting 27.82 seconds. Other members of that relay were Josie Sickels, Chelcee Downing and Maria Mostek.

Running her first open 800 of the season, Natalie Mostek took second place in a strong 2:25.10.

“She tied up in the last 250 meters,” Arnold said. “The girl took her there in the last 100 meters. That time was excellent.”

She capped her night by running a 1:03.99 personal best split on the third-place 4x400 relay team that included Raegen Smith, Downing and Jami Sickels.

“Natalie, I don’t know how she had so much in the tank after the high jump, a super fast distance med 200 and the lights out open 800, but she found it again,” Arnold said. “She chewed up a ton of ground.”

Smith ran a season-best split of 1:05.89, while Sickels ran a personal best split of

1:07.10 on the relay, which ran a season-best time of 4:21.82.

Briley returns Sophomore Taylor Briley, who hadn’t practiced all season, made her return to the Panther lineup after practicing for the first time on Monday.

Briley ran a 1:07.00 for 400 meters at practice on Monday, which showed Arnold she was ready to compete.

S h e Briley placed eighth in the 400 meters, her only race of the night, in 1:06.00.

“Coming into the season, she figured into all of our plans,” Arnold said. “Returning state qualifier and one of our fastest returners in the 800, 400 and 200. Been a little different not having her Please see GIRLS, page 10A

Panthers lack urgency in 3-0 loss

Coming home: South Dakota sophomore pitcher Madison Frain of Creston sends a

pitch to the plate during the Coyotes’ doubleheader at Iowa State Tuesday. Frain pitched 4.2 innings of relief in a 6-5 opening loss in eight innings. South Dakota bounced back to win the nightcap, 12-3. See more coverage of Frain’s first appearance in Iowa for the Coyotes in Thursday’s News Advertiser.

CHARITON — The biggest problem for the Creston girls soccer team here Tuesday in a 3-0 loss to Chariton was that the Panthers lacked urgency, head coach Kim Lauffer said.

“We did not play with urgency until about the last 15 minutes,” Lauffer said.

“The last 15 minutes, we started playing the way I’d seen the girls play well in the past. The last 15 minutes, we focused on making passes and playing with urgency. It was hard to get them motivated.”

By that time, the Panthers already trailed 3-0, having surrendered two goals in the first half and one early in the second half.

Taylor Tuley found the back of the net first at the 18:26 mark and Vicki Slobodyanik knocked one in at the 39:02 mark. Emily Grismore talllied the third goal

at the 48:22 mark in the second half.

Lauffer elected to move senior goalie Sadie Jones into the field for the second half, which seemed to provide more of a spark for the Panthers.

“We actually did quite q bit of shifting in the second half,” she said. “We pushed Hanna (Luther) up more into the midfield. We played more of a diamond offense in the midfield.

“Having Sadie in the field changes the pace of play.

Our three captains — Hanna, Michelle Powers and Sadie Jones — the way they play often determines how well their teammates will play for them. When they play hard, their teammates come out and play hard.”

That change resulted in a

more aggressive style of play in the final 15 minutes, when Lauffer finally saw that urgency from her team.

But it was too little, too late by that point.

“We’ve always competed well with Chariton,” Lauffer said. “Chariton played well.

They outshot us in that first half. We need to practice with more urgency.”

Jones finished with three saves in goal and put two shots on goal while playing in the field. Becca Ross, who replaced Jones in goal, finished with eight saves, allowing just one goal.

Powers finished the game with two shots on goal.

Creston falls to 0-6 for the season with the loss. The Panthers return to action Tuesday at Lewis Central and host Chariton on May 5.

Chariton improved to 3-1 for the season.

and held on to win by a little more than a half-second with a split of 51.74.

“Jay made his move coming off that first curve, and it would take a pretty fast kid to overtake him if he has the lead,” Schlapia said. “All four of those guys were fresh going in after doing just one race.”

A young freshman and sophomore group of runners in the 4x800 scored for the Panthers. Brody Frain, Tyler Peters, Chris Foster and Nick Walsh ran 9:55.97 in sixth place. Walsh and Frain ran splits of 2:20 and 2:23, respectively, and Frain followed with a 2:20 time in the open 800.

around for the last six weeks.”

Her absence throughout the early part of the season has opened up opportunities for other athletes, which Arnold said will only help his team as it prepares for the end of the season.

Maria Mostek also had a strong night, finishing third in the 3,000 meters (11:37.94) and third in the 1,500 meters (5:20.50) in addition to her anchor leg on the distance medley relay.

Amber Castillo continued her improvement, running a big PR of 17.60 in the 100 hurdles.

“I thought the field was excellent,” Arnold said. “She ran that and got 11th. That was a pretty ridiculous time.

She looked really strong doing it. She was in the fast heat and hung right with those girls.”

Finally getting a chance to

decision.

“I can see myself being successful there, academically and in football,” Haley said.

“I want to be a teacher and coach — major in secondary education — and their program is nationally accredited.

It’s very good.”

Head coach Jeff Douglas said the 6-foot-2, 250-pound Panther is projected as a center, but that could change.

“He’s probably looking at that center position from the start, but I don’t ever lock anyone into one position,”

for an exchange violation.

The Carlisle meet scheduled next Tuesday was cancelled because of construction at the school site there, so Saydel scheduled a meet that Creston is traveling to, followed by the Red Oak meet on May 2.

Walsh ran a personal best time of 1:05.64 in the 400 meter hurdles.

Seth Maitlen placed fifth for the Panthers in the shot put at 38-11 1/2. In the two throwing events, freshman Cody Tanner had PRs of 35-0 in the shot put and 107-10 in the discus.

The Panther 4x200 relay team had to run on its own after the scheduled event because of a mixup at the starting line. Gilbert was disqualified for having its No. 1 runner in Creston’s lane at the starting block. Creston did not run during the Class A heat because of the confusion.

The unit of Alex Tamerius, Trevor Luther, Chris Foster and Seth Maitlen would have placed sixth with its time of 1:44.83, but was disqualified run out of the fast heat in the 400 hurdles, Castillo finished eighth in 1:14.00.

Other PRs for the Panthers included Sydney Suiter in the long jump (13-8.75), Marie Hood in the shot put (28-9.50), Rachel Shepherd in the JV 1,500 meters (5:54.90), Kristy Powers in the JV 800 (2:50.50) and Aleisha Larkin in the JV shot put (25-2).

Creston returns to action Thursday at Carroll, where the Panthers will see Harlan again. Another added bonus of adding the Carroll meet is Creston will get a chance to see Denison-Schleswig and Carroll, teams the Panthers normally don’t see until the conference or State Qualifying Meets.

SOCCER:

Douglas said.

“Coach said I’d come in at center, but if two of us are good enough to play on Saturdays, one of us could move to guard,” Haley said.

“It was a quick turnaround for us with Nate,” Douglas said. “He came down to school and liked what he saw.

We liked what we saw of him on film. We expect him to compete to play right away as a freshman and be an impact player for us.”

Graceland is an NAIA school playing in the Heart of America Conference. In a rebuilding season in 2013, the Yellowjackets were 1-10 overall and 0-9 in the HAAC.

As a team, Creston had six shots with two of those being on goal.

New trees:

Southwestern Community College agriculture students plant a variety of trees at the Southern Prairie YMCA and SWCC campus Tuesday afternoon. An Alliant Trees Forever grant of more than $9,000 helped SWCC students and Creston FFA members plant 65 trees at SWCC, YMCA, McKinley Park, CHS and Creston Middle School.

New Money Smart Week contest held at SWCC learning about investment products.

“Getting people to focus on investing for retirement is not a game, but DASH for the Stash is a great way to engage participants who might not otherwise pay attention to this crucial part of their overall financial picture,” said Don Blandin, president and CEO of the Investor Protection Trust. “We are partnering with Iowa libraries for the DASH for the Stash contest because they are open to finding innovative ways to meet our mission: providing consumers the knowledge they need to become informed investors and help them avoid pitfalls.”

The DASH for the Stash was played at nearly 100 libraries and other locations across the state. The contest is played much like a scavenger hunt. But instead of collecting objects, players collect information and leave answers to quiz questions.

“Our goal is to impart some financial knowledge — in a fun way — on how to save, invest and protect your nest egg. Everyone will learn something,” SWCC Learning Resource Center Director Ann Coulter said.

To play, participants went to the library to find four posters. They read each poster, accessed the quiz question and choose an answer. The posters covered topics of importance to savers and investors — such as understanding investment fees, finding financial advisers, avoiding fraud and
