Busing it: Construction on the bus barn

continues as the walls, overhead doors and floor are complete. The roof was finished within the past week, and workers will begin construction on the inside of the building, which includes fiber optics, walls and insulation, as well as installing a pressure washer system. There is no set completion date, but it is expected the building will be finished by the start of July. Buses are not currently being stored inside, as the building has to be finished before that, and construction costs are within the budgeted amount. Steve McDermott, Creston Community School District superintendent, said despite the challenges, the transportation staff has been “making the best of a bad situation.” Building construction was underway in June 2014, after the original bus barn was destroyed after a tornado hit Creston in April 2012.

Bird flu found in 5 more northwest Iowa poultry farms

Riots in Baltimore raise questions about police response

Iowa is the nation’s leading egg producer and has seen a rapid increase in the number of chickens affected by the virus since the first case was announced a week ago.

BALTIMORE (AP) — National Guard troops fanned out through the city, shield-bearing police officers blocked the streets and firefighters doused still-simmering blazes early Tuesday as a growing area of Baltimore shuddered from riots following the funeral of a black man who died in police custody.

The violence that started in West Baltimore on Monday afternoon — within a mile of where Freddie Gray, 25, was arrested and placed into a police van earlier this month — had by midnight spread to East Baltimore and neighborhoods close to downtown and near the baseball stadium. The streets were calm Tuesday morning.

Monday’s rioting was one of the most volatile outbreaks of violence prompted by a police-involved death since the days of protests that followed the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed black man who was shot and killed during a confrontation with a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, last summer.

At least 15 officers were hurt, including six who were hospitalized, police said.

There were 144 vehicle fires, 15 structure fires and nearly 200 arrests, according to numbers provided Tuesday morning by Howard Libit, a spokesman for the mayor’s office.

Aerial footage Tuesday morning from Baltimore station WJZ-TV showed a firefighter spraying the burnt out shell of a large building as an American flag fluttered nearby on an untouched building.

State and local authorities pledged to restore order and calm to Baltimore, but quickly found themselves responding to questions about whether their initial responses had been adequate.

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake was asked why she waited hours to ask the governor

DES MOINES (AP) — The deadly bird flu virus was found in an egg-laying flock with 3.7 million chickens in northwest Iowa in addition to four more poultry farms, state agriculture officials said Monday.

The virus will now cost Iowa egg producers about a sixth of the state’s 60 million hens, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said, or nearly 9.8 million chickens that have either been or will be euthanized.

Initial tests indicated the presence of the H5N2 virus on the large farm in Sioux County. The other prob-

able cases, affecting more than 2 million chickens combined, are at two farms in O’Brien County, one in Osceola County and another in Sioux County.

Final confirmation is expected later Monday or Tuesday on the latest farms, Northey said.

Iowa is the nation’s leading egg producer and has seen a rapid increase in the number of chickens affected by the virus since the first case was announced a week ago.

The virus has also been found on two Iowa turkey farms involving 80,000 birds.

Nationally, the H5N2 virus has cost Midwestern turkey and chicken producers almost 13 million birds since early March.

The impact on consumer egg and turkey prices depends on how much more the virus spreads, according to Dr. T.J. Myers, a veterinary administrator with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. So far, nearly 7 million turkeys have been

An explanation of wild birds’ role in avian flu outbreak

DES MOINES (AP) — Wild birds are believed to be behind the first major widespread outbreak of bird flu in the United States.

The H5N2 virus has cost Midwestern turkey and chicken producers more than 13 million birds since early March, including sev-

eral new cases announced in Iowa and Minnesota on Monday. Here are some questions and answers about how wild birds remain healthy even when carrying and spreading the virus.

culled out of a total U.S. turkey population of 240 million.

“I don’t think it’s to the point yet where there’s a huge market impact. The real question is what comes later this week, next week and the following week,” he said.

The virus typically dies in the warmth of spring and summer, and the Midwest is approaching the season where temperatures in the 70s and more ultraviolet rays should halt the virus.

The federal government has an indemnity fund that

pays turkey and chicken producers for the birds that remain alive on the farm but must be killed to eliminate the risk of spreading the disease. The fund also helps farms compost the birds and clean up the farm so it can be used again.

So far, the government has spent $60 million, Myers said.

The Iowa counties involved are concentrated in the northwest corner of Iowa but so far officials say they do not believe the virus is traveling from farm to farm.

The same community they say they care about, they’re destroying. You can’t have it both ways.”

to declare a state of emergency, while the governor himself hinted she should have come to him earlier.

“We were all in the command center in the second floor of the State House in constant communication, and we were trying to get in touch with the mayor for quite some time,” Gov. Larry Hogan told a Monday evening news conference. “She finally made that call, and we immediately took action.”

Asked if the mayor should have called for help sooner, however, Hogan replied that he didn’t want to question what Baltimore officials were doing: “They’re all under tremendous stress. We’re all on one team.”

Rawlings-Blake said officials believed they had gotten the unrest that had erupted over the weekend under control “and I think it would have been inappropriate to bring in the National Guard when we had it under control.”

But later on, Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts made it clear events had become unmanageable. “They just outnumbered us and outflanked us,” Batts said.

“We needed to have more resources out there.”

Batts said authorities had had a “very trying and disappointing day.”

How did the virus arrive stateside?

Disease experts believe a portion of it came from European and Asian strains of bird flu that readily cause illness and death in birds and mixed with a North American strain that was less likely to cause severe illness as birds from different regions crossed migratory paths.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Geological Survey have reported three versions of bird flu in 57 cases confirmed since December, starting first with domestic backyard flocks, wild captive birds and wild aquatic birds in California, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Additional cases surfaced in January and February on the West Coast, and by March, cases emerged in the Midwest.

Which wild birds carry the virus?

Bird flu has been found in more than 100 species of wild birds, but most are low pathogenic viruses — present, but don’t sicken or kill it. The virus can be left behind in wild birds’ feces, on feathers and on the bodies of dead birds. Birds confirmed to have carried the virus currently spreading infection in the United States include ducks, Canada geese and predatory birds.

How does the virus get into commercial barns?

USDA Chief Veterinary Officer Dr. John Clifford has said it’s not entirely clear how the virus gets into commercial barns, which are mostly enclosed, but there are likely several ways. In some cases, the virus may enter on clothing or shoes of workers, although commercial operations have strict biosecurity guidelines for changing clothes and disinfecting items. Clifford also speculates wind could be carrying the virus in on dirt particles or feathers through barn ventilation openings.

Officials are exploring all possibilities in an effort to identify and eliminate identified pathways, Clifford said.

Is it the first such outbreak in the U.S.?

It’s the first widespread one that’s affected millions of commercially raised chickens and turkeys, but there have been sporadic cases of low pathogenic versions before. In 2004, an outbreak of H5N2 was found in a flock of 7,000 chickens in Texas, marking the first outbreak of a high pathogenic strain in 20 years, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

What do the numbers and letters mean when identifying virus strains?

The numbers specify proteins on the flu virus surface.

One set has a long scientific name starting with an H numbering 1-16 and the other has a long name starting with an N and number 1-9.

The protein mixture determines whether the virus can attach only to bird cells, infect other animals or attach to human cells. In all, there are 144 ways the proteins can mix to create different versions of the bird flu, ranging from H1N1 to H16N9.

Could bird flu sicken Americans?

There have been no confirmed cases of illness in humans associated with the current H5N2 bird flu virus, leading scientists to believe it cannot easily attach to human cells. There is an increased chance of human infection, the CDC says, because bird flu viruses have been known to mutate into versions that can jump to humans.

What can I do to avoid the bird flu?

The CDC recommends observing wild birds only from a distance and avoiding contact with surfaces that appear to be contaminated with bird feces. Also, avoid contact with domestic poultry that appear ill or have died and properly handle and cook poultry products.

Snake lovers hit southern Illinois for annual migrations SHAWNEE NATIONAL FOREST, Ill. (AP) — You don’t have to be a herpetologist to savor the slice of this federal forest where a stunning array of reptiles and amphibians congregate beneath soaring limestone bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River.

Whether trained zoologist or weekend hiker — or in my case, someone with a lifelong aversion to the scaly creatures after a frightening childhood encounter on family trip to Florida — a visit to the place locals call Snake Road offers a glance of biological diversity worth the 100-mile (160-kilometer) detour from St. Louis into rural southern Illinois.

For two months each spring, the U.S. Forest Service closes a 2.5-mile (4-kilometer)

road segment to car traffic to allow migrating snakes, lizards, frogs and salamanders to move freely from their winter habitat along and beneath the bluffs to their summer feeding grounds in the low-lying swamp to the west.

The road is again closed each September and October as the migration reverses.

Before the federal agency first restricted vehicular access to the LaRue-Pine Hills/ Otter Pond Research Area more than four decades ago, hunters “would come down here with pickup trucks and shotguns and shoot every snake on the road,” said Charlie Hoessle, 83, a retired St. Louis Zoo director and unabashed snake lover who has visited the area since the

1950s.

“The attitude then was, ‘The only good snake was a dead snake,’” he said. “In my generation, I was the only kid who was fascinated by snakes.

Nobody else wanted to have anything to do with them.”

Snake Road now attracts visitors from across the coun-

try, said Chad Deaton, a Forest Service wildlife biologist.

On a recent weekday afternoon, the visitors included a retired contractor from San Diego, a suburban Chicago father and his two young sons and a group of biology students and their professor from Eastern Illinois University.

OPINION Special delivery for the Plutocrats

“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” reads the unofficial motto of the United States Postal Service. We now can add to that “nor a national security no-fly zone,” as demonstrated by mailman Doug Hughes.

Hughes was doing what he felt was his duty, carrying letters. He had 535 of them: one for each member of Congress, and each signed by Hughes himself. He wrote about the corrupting influence of money in politics. Hughes chose a very high-profile method for delivering his letters, though. He piloted a bicycle-sized helicopter, called a “gyrocopter,” 100 miles from Maryland, and landed on the west lawn of the U.S Capitol, passing through restricted airspace.

Hughes could have been shot down. I asked him if it was worth it. “I’m a father, I’m a grandfather, and I can see the change over the decades as we slide from a democracy to a plutocracy. ...

Yes, it was worth risking my life, it was worth risking my freedom,” Hughes responded, “to get reform so that Congress works for the people.” His letter opened with a

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

quote from the secretary of state.

Hughes wrote: “Consider the following statement by John Kerry in his farewell speech to the Senate — ‘The unending chase for money I believe threatens to steal our democracy itself. They know it. They know we know it. And yet, Nothing Happens!’ — John Kerry.” His letter goes on with his analysis of the problem of money corrupting the work of members of Congress “before they are elected, while they are in office and after they leave Congress,” he writes.

Hughes’ sensational mail drop — giving a whole new meaning to “Hughes Aircraft” — did not go unnoticed. Much of the media simply ignored the message that this postman was trying to deliver, instead focusing on the security vulnerability that his spectacular landing exposed. Interestingly, he was not entirely condemned by the people inside the Capitol.

“I don’t condone violating re-

stricted airspace and putting innocent people at risk by flying a gyrocopter on the Capitol lawn,” said Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., on the floor of the U.S. House.

“Mr. Hughes does have a point about the pervasive influence of money in politics. I’ve seen it get worse and worse in my 20 years in Congress. The Citizens United decision by the United States Supreme Court in 2010 created super PACs and multimillionaires that buy candidates.”

The 2010 Supreme Court ruling that Jones references, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (FEC), and a subsequent ruling in 2014, McCutcheon v.

FEC, have opened the floodgates of money, including untraceable “dark money,” into our electoral system. Spending by outside groups exploded from about $15 million in 1998 to more than $1 billion in 2012. And between the Clinton coffers and Koch cash, the crisis will get far worse as the 2016 presidential-election season heats up. Hughes supports a constitutional amendment that would eliminate the influence of money in politics.

The day after Hughes landed his

gyrocopter, I asked Florida Congressman Alan Grayson, a Democrat, what he thought about the postman’s protest against money in politics. “I was actually in the courtroom when this disastrous Citizens United decision was decided five years ago,” Grayson told me. “[Now-Senate Majority Leader, Republican] Mitch McConnell was two seats to my left. We were the only public officials who were in the courtroom. Mitch McConnell was the happiest I have ever seen him that day. He was literally chortling when the decision was rendered.” Grayson went on: “I said ... that night five years ago that if we do nothing, you can kiss this country goodbye. Well, pucker up, because right now the millionaires and the billionaires and the multinational corporations are calling the shots.”

Doug Hughes is currently under house arrest in Florida. If convicted, he faces four years in prison.

He is now the father of three, having lost a son to suicide in 2012.

I asked him if the suicide influenced his action. He responded: “His death was pointless. It was a waste. And he had so much poten-

tial. I looked at what I had done and accomplished and contributed, and I looked at how we’re going to leave this country and this world if things go on the way they are. I’ve got [three other] kids. I want to hand them a real democracy, so that they have the power to control their destiny and their children’s destiny. And right now they’re losing that. We’re losing that. And it’s in our power to restore democracy, and we can find the solutions to the problems that we have, if the people have control.”

Whatever happens, this postman has delivered his message, completing his appointed rounds. *** 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.

Bill Cosby was accused by three more women of drugging and raping HOLLYWOOD--God Bless America and how’s everybody?

The NFL suspended the Dallas Cowboys recently-acquired defensive end Greg Hardy ten games Thursday for hitting his girlfriend and threatening to kill her. The Cowboys knew they were taking a big chance when they signed him. Had he actually killed her, he could have been given twelve games.

dren. You can’t make it up. Now even people are made in China.

Bill Cosby was accused by three more women of drugging and raping them Friday at their press conference in L.A. It brought the number of accusers to thirty-eight and set off a torrent of outraged comments on Twitter. Experts agree if Bill Cosby were killed by a white cop the Internet would eat itself.

According to legislature rules the session is scheduled to adjourn May 1. At the present time I do not see that happening. Legislators receive a per diem for 110 days the first year of the General Assembly and 100 days the second year. The per diem ends on adjournment or the 110th day, whichever comes first. A few years ago we went to June 30 before we adjourned. Once the per diem date expires legislators have to pay their room and board expenses from their own pockets.

The House Majority budget plan does not use the ending balance, the cash reserve or the economic emergency fund. According to the non-partisan Legislative Services Agency in regards to the ending balance, “It should be noted that these excess funds are considered one-time revenues that can carry forward from one fiscal year to the next. The transfer amounts can be unpredictable from one year to the next. Reliance on these revenues for ongoing operational expenses of government programs can result in budget shortfalls if an economic downturn causes a drop in annual tax revenue.”

The cash reserve is used to cash flow the state budget. Taking money from it jeopardizes payments to school districts and local govern-

ments.

The economic emergency fund is used for catastrophic problems such as the floods of 2008.

For fiscal year 2016 the state would spend $7,168,144,634 out of the general fund. This amounts to a 2.48 percent increase in state spending. That amount would also spend 99.9 percent of the Revenue Estimation Conference’s latest estimate for the ongoing revenue in FY 2016.

The House Majority Party released their general fund budget on April 22. The general fund would be spent as follows: Administration and Regulation – $49,800,000, (a decrease of $1,995,769), Agriculture and Natural Resources – $42,000,000, (a decrease of $1,111,995), Economic Development (a decrease of $1,181,886), Education – $977,578,044, (a decrease of $8,558,321), Health and Human Services (a decrease of $14,859,686), Justice Systems (a decrease of $3,380,575), and the Standings Appropriation (an increase of $204,905,562).

The House Majority Party believes that it is important to lead by example when holding the line on spending. They are doing this by reducing the legislature’s own budget by over $1,000,000 below the FY 2015 level. Additionally, funding for organizational dues has been removed from all budgets. The Executive Council will be given a set amount of funds to pay for organizational that it has given approval to.

On a House bipartisan vote of 90-5 they overwhelmingly approved a bill designed to expand high-speed internet access in areas of the state with slow internet speeds.

Internet service providers that choose to build high-speed internet infrastructure within areas that have slow service will receive a 10 year property tax exemption on their new investments. The bill, known as the “Connect Every Acre” initiative, also establishes a grant program that can provide financial assistance to providers building high speed infrastructure.

Both the property tax exemption and the grant program require the providers to build infrastructure that can facilitate 25 megabits of download speed and three megabits of upload speed.

Habitat partners complete another project

Supreme Court to hear historic same-sex marriage arguments WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is set to hear historic arguments in cases that could make same-sex marriage the law of the land.

The justices are meeting Tuesday to offer the first public indication of where they stand in the dispute over whether states can continue defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman, or whether the Constitution gives gay and lesbian couples the right to marry.

The court is hearing extended arguments, scheduled to last 2 ½ hours, which also will explore whether states that do not permit same-sex marriage must nonetheless recognize such unions from elsewhere.

Same-sex couples can marry in 36 states and the District of Columbia.

A recent Habitat for Humanity project began when Denise Fisk asked Charlie Westman if there was anything Habitat for Humanity of Union County could do to help retrofit the home of the great-grandparents of Gabe Ward, a 3-year-old Afton boy who was paralyzed in an auto accident almost a year ago.

Habitat hosted a tip night fundraiser at The Pizza Ranch, and with help from Thrivent Financial, raised about $1,300 to begin the project.

The first day found Habitat volunteers assisted by Alan Landers, Dean Haight and the homeowner, all of Afton, rebuilding the deck at Gabe’s house so that an accessibility ramp could be built. Because it was late in the year, completion of the project was postponed until warmer weather.

Last week, volunteers started again and were able to install new wider doors, and with the help of First National Bank employees, Steve Crittenden, Bruce

Bruce Jenner comes out as transgender, says ‘I am a woman’ NEW YORK (AP) — In the 1970s, Bruce Jenner was a symbol of American masculinity as an Olympic champion. Nearly 40 years later, in an extraordinary television interview, Jenner told the world that he identifies as a woman and has felt gender confusion since he was a little boy growing up in the New York suburbs.

Jenner let his hair down — literally loosening a ponytail and letting his hair flow past his shoulders — in a symbolic moment at the start of his two-hour interview with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer that was televised Friday.

“Yes, for all intents and purposes, I am a woman.”

For the transgender community, it was a moment as significant as Ellen DeGeneres’ coming out as a lesbian was for gays nearly 20 years ago. DeGeneres tweeted support to Jenner, saying the former Olympian was “saving lives and opening minds.”

“My whole life has been getting me ready for this,” said Jenner, 65, known to a

younger generation as the patriarch of television’s omnipresent Kardashian clan.

“It’s not just the last few years as they’ve been treating me as a joke.”

The interview was filmed in February in Los Angeles and New York, before a fatal car accident in which Jenner was involved. The Nielsen company said an audience of just fewer than 17 million people saw the interview.

Jenner said he self-identifies as “her,” not a specific name. But he told Sawyer he felt comfortable using the pronouns “he” and “him,” a designation that is an important issue for many in the transgender community, which believes that transgender people should be referred to by the pronouns with which they choose to identify.

Jenner said his “brain is more female than it is male.”

He said he began gender reassignment therapy in the 1980s — taking hormones, having surgery to make his nose smaller and having hair removed from his face and

chest — but gave it up. As Jenner got older, he realized that if he got sick and faced death without facing up to this issue, “I’d be so mad that I didn’t explore that side of my life.”

As a young boy, Jenner felt an urge to try on his mother’s and sister’s dresses.

“I didn’t know why I was doing it,” he said. “It just made me feel good.”

Jenner said he has never been sexually attracted to men, and he wanted to make clear to viewers that gender identity and sexuality were separate things.

“I am not gay,” he said. “I

am, as far as I know, heterosexual. I’ve always been with a woman, raising kids.”

Jenner said he has not decided whether he will undergo sexual reassignment surgery.

“These are all things that are out there in the future for me to explore,” he said.

“There’s no rush for that.

And I would do it so quietly that nobody in the world would know.”

Jenner’s four oldest children appeared on the interview special to support their father, but not the two girls he had with Kris Kardashian. He said his step-

PiPPa White’s saints, soldiers, & sPies

daughter Kim has been a big supporter, urged on by husband Kanye West, but that his stepdaughter Khloe was taking it the hardest.

Jenner’s first two wives offered messages of support; ABC said Kris Kardashian’s publicist called to specifically say his third wife would have no comment. But Kardashian tweeted that no one had asked for comment and, after the interview aired, tweeted: “Not only was I able to call him my husband

for 25 years and father of my children, I am now able to call him my hero.”

Jenner told Sawyer that Kris was having a difficult time with it, and that if she better understood it, the couple would probably still be together.

Jenner’s 89-year-old mother also was interviewed, saying she was more proud of Bruce than when he stood as an Olympic champion in Montreal.

The stuff to rebuff the scuffs Dear Readers: Many of you wrote with suggestions about how to REMOVE SCUFF MARKS. Here are two of the most common hints: * Susan P., via email, said: “The custodian at a middle school where I worked came up with a great way to get rid of black marks on the tile floors. He took an old mop or broom handle and slit open a tennis ball to fit on the end.

He would use this contraption to rub over the marks.”

Heloise here: I just saw the same hint being used in the Albany, N.Y., airport on my way to a speech in Troy, N.Y. The person using this “tool” said he no longer has to bend down, or be on his hands and feet, to remove the marks.

Easy, simple and cheap!

What more can you ask? * Shirley G. in California wrote: “I use your old standby: baking soda on a damp rag or paper towel.”

Both great hints! Baking soda can be used in so many eco-friendly and money-saving ways. This is a perfect example. My Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes pamphlet is cram-packed

fishing line to string bead necklaces. It takes time to match the clear end with the bead hole. I cut the length of line and lay it on piece of paper, then “paint” the ends with a black permanent marker. I now string rapidly. I can see the “needle” end, which gets cut off after the stringing. — Rusti S. in Houston Rusti, I also used nylon fishing line to string beads.

The surfers in Ocean City, Md., would buy mine because the fishing line won’t break. After tying a knot, I’d use a hot match to melt the knot together! — Heloise SAFETY SHOE TREAD Dear Heloise: A lot of women’s shoes have minimal BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker tread, potentially leading to slips and falls. I cut a strip of black safety (nonskid) tape and adhere it to the bottom of my shoes.

I wear them on a noncarpeted floor to ensure good adhesion. It will grab more on carpet. I replace the strips when needed. — Suzanne M., Kingsport, Tenn.

Smelly mops or cleaning rags can be freshened by soaking in a baking-soda solution (4 tablespoons to 1 quart water). Let soak for a couple of hours, then wash and rinse.

— Heloise DOG WASH Dear Heloise: Bending over the tub to wash my mischievous terrier was giving me an aching back. I bought a large plastic tub, put holes in the bottom for drainage and placed it upside down in the tub. I plop Mikey on top and give him a nice, warm bath with the shower hose.

He feels secure, and I don’t have a strained back. — Pat J. in San Antonio (c)2015 by King Features STRINGING BEADS Dear Heloise: I use clear Syndicate Inc.

Horoscope Wednesday, April 29, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be clear in all your financial transactions today, because wishful thinking will not make things so. If shopping, you might be tempted to buy something luxurious and too expensive. Use caution.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You will find it rewarding to join efforts with others, perhaps a charitable group or a church, in order to help those who are less fortunate. Some of you will choose to help a friend directly instead.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s easy to put the wishes and needs of others before your own today. You’re not being a martyr; you simply have a genuine wish to help someone.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your idealism is aroused today, and this makes you more aware of the needs and wishes of others. Because of this, you will want to help friends or perhaps volunteer for something with a charitable group.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might look at an authority figure in your life with more understanding and appreciation today. Something will help you realize what it’s like to walk a mile in others’ wedges.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened today, give yourself a chance to enjoy beautiful places. Visit museums, art galleries and beautiful parks. Enjoy!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If you have to divide or share something today, you will be generous and sympathetic to others. Nevertheless, remember that it’s also important to have a healthy self-interest.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Discussions with others are mutually sympathetic today.

This is a good day to confide in someone or to listen to someone else’s story.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Co-workers are supportive today, and in turn, you are supportive of them. This is because people are mutually sympathetic right now, which is a lovely thing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Grab every opportunity to express your creative talents, because you are in touch with your muse today. Enjoy arts

and crafts.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your concern for a family member today is genuine. It will be rewarding for you to help someone. After all, kindness is the most important thing.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might spend time daydreaming today or being lost in wishful thinking. That’s OK; we all do this now and then.

YOU BORN TODAY You are socially polished, self-assured and skillful at presenting your-

self. You also are reliable and dependable — all sterling qualities. This is the year you have been waiting for. It’s a time of expansion and great activity.

Take advantage of opportunities. A major change might take place, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2005. It’s time to try your wings!

Choppers ferry injured in Nepal; new mudslide hits village The small town of Gorkha is being used as a staging post to get rescuers and supplies to remote communities after Saturday’s magnitude-7.8 earthquake.

■

GORKHA, Nepal (AP) — Helicopters crisscrossed the mountains above a remote district Tuesday near the epicenter of the weekend earthquake in Nepal that killed more than 4,400 people, ferrying the injured and delivering emergency supplies. Officials said 250 villagers were feared missing in a new mudslide.

Two helicopters brought in eight women from Ranachour village, two of them clutching babies and a third heavily pregnant.

“There are many more injured people in my village,” said Sangita Shrestha, who was pregnant and visibly downcast as she got off the helicopter. She was quickly surrounded by Nepalese soldiers and policemen and ushered into a waiting van to be taken to a hospital.

The little town of Gorkha, the district’s administrative and trading center, is being used as a staging post to get rescuers and supplies to those remote communities after Saturday’s magnitude-7.8 earthquake.

Not far from the quake’s epicenter, 250 people were feared missing after a mudslide and avalanche on Tuesday, district official Gautam Rimal said.

Heavy snow had been

falling near the village, Ghodatabela, and the ground may have been loosened by the quake.

Rimal said officials received initial reports of the disaster by phone but then lost contact.

Superintendent says schools need basic funding for supplies The conflict over school funding is the key issue holding up lawmakers as they try to agree on a budget plan for the fiscal year that begins July 1.

■

PLEASANT HILL (AP) — The superintendent of a suburban Des Moines school district said Monday that new dollars for teacher leadership training benefit schools, but that other school funding is still needed for basic expenses such as books.

Southeast Polk Community School District Superintendent Craig Menozzi spoke

Monday at a press conference with Gov. Terry Branstad. The event highlighted the progress since the governor’s plan to boost funding for teacher training was approved two years ago.

Branstad says the program will “transform education all across Iowa.”

Menozzi praised the new program, saying it has been exciting to see teachers grow in new leadership roles.

He said 120 of the district’s roughly 492 teachers hold some kind of leadership position, including mentoring other teachers.

Still, Menozzi expressed concern over how much new basic funding schools will get for the upcoming school year.

The issue is unresolved, with lawmakers at odds over the amount. Menozzi said the funding level supported by Branstad and Republican leaders in the state House would force cuts. They want about $100 million in new dollars, although some of that money would go to teacher leadership purposes.

“We need that money.

That’s day-to-day money and operational money,” said Menozzi. He said they would not need to lay off teachers, if cuts were required, but it would mean the district would have to cut the budget for classroom materials and delay updating some textbooks. He said some of the social studies texts used in the schools date

Federal board declines request to reopen Buddy Holly crash CLEAR LAKE (AP) — The National Transportation Safety Board has declined a request to reopen the investigation of the Iowa plane crash that killed musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson.

The Civil Aeronautics Board ruled in 1959 that the most likely cause of the crash was pilot error. Snow was listed as a secondary caused.

In a letter dated April 21, the agency said the evidence presented

back to the 1990s.

The conflict over school funding is the key issue holding up lawmakers as they try to agree a budget plan for the fiscal year that begins July 1.

The Democratic-controlled Senate wants to provide more new money than Branstad or lawmakers in the Republican-majority House.

Branstad said he was trying to balance the budget in a year with limited new dollars, but that his administration was investing in education in a variety of ways, including the teacher leadership program and basic state aid.

“K-12 public education is the top priority in terms of state appropriations,” Branstad said.

Burnt macaroni and cheese forces Iowa Capitol to evacuate

in a request from pilot L.J. Coon wasn’t sufficient to merit the reconsideration of the findings of the original investigation. Coon had contended that there were other issues involving weight and balance calculations, fuel-gauge readings and more that contributed to the crash.

Coon didn’t respond to a request for comment Monday on the decision from the Mason City Globe Gazette.

DES MOINES (AP) — A burnt bowl of macaroni and cheese forced a brief evacuation at the Iowa Capitol.

Iowa Department of Administrative Services spokesman Caleb Hunter says somebody’s lunch burned in a microwave Monday behind the Senate Chambers on the second floor of the Capitol. He says the smoke prompted a short evacuation of the entire building during the morning.

Hunter says he’s not aware of any property damage or injuries.

Panther boys stay unbeaten in conference Pals scores twice in 5-3 victory

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com Kluber

NATIONAL DIGEST

Nets draw even NEW YORK — Deron Williams finally delivered the game that’s expected of him, and he wasn’t going to let the Nets lose it.

And after he finished carrying them into a 2-2 tie with the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed, the guy who had been being beaten up physically on the court and by fans and media off it knew how important his performance was.

“We really needed to get this one to stay in the series,” he said, “and so it was definitely one of my better games this year for sure and probably as a Net.” Williams rebounded from two dismal games by tying a playoff career high with 35 points, and Brooklyn pulled out a 120-115 overtime victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night in Game 4.

The Nets, just 38-44 in the regular season, moved two victories from becoming the sixth No. 8 seed to beat a No. 1 -only the fourth since the first round became bestof-seven.

Staying alive PORTLAND, Ore. — Damian Lillard had 32 points and the Portland Trail Blazersavoided elimination from the playoffs with a 99-92 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night.

Memphis led by as many as 10 points in the fourth quarter, but Portland rallied to deny the Grizzlies their first-ever playoff sweep.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 18 points and 12 rebounds for Portland.

Memphis was playing without point guard Mike Conley, who was inadvertently elbowed in the face in the third quarter of Game 3 and underwent surgery on Monday morning. His status for the rest of the playoffs is uncertain.

The winner of the series goes on to face the Golden State Warriors in the second round.

Marc Gasol led the Grizzlies with 21 points.

Bucks win CHICAGO — The Milwaukee Bucks insisted this playoff series was about more than just showing up, taking their beating and learning from it.

They wanted to hang around. And that’s exactly what they are doing.

Michael Carter-Williams had 22 points and eight assists, Khris Middleton scored 21 points, and the Bucks avoided elimination again with a 94-88 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series.

With a 3-2 lead, the Bulls will try to close it out again Thursday at Milwaukee. But the Bucks aren’t going quietly after dropping the first three games.

Creston’s soccer team found the scoring punch it was lacking in its last competition at the Winterset tournament, outscoring Atlantic 5-3 in a Hawkeye 10 boys match here Monday.

Creston career scoring leader Conner Pals scored twice, freshman Evan Jacobson opened the second half with his first var- Pals sity goal, McClain Haines netted a header and Ben Irr knocked in a long free kick as the Panthers improved to 3-0 in the Hawkeye 10 and 5-3 overall.

Atlantic fell to 0-4 and 3-5.

David Thomsen scored two of the Trojans’ three goals.

At the Winterset tourney nine days earlier, the Panthers lost in an overtime shootout to Indianola after 0-0 regulation, and the third-place match with Winterset was tied 0-0 when it was called by inclement weather. In both matches, Creston had the advantage in play with more shots, but nothing on the scoreboard

to show for it.

“I think we made progress in those eight days,” Panther coach Jesus Rodriguez said.

“We really focused on possession. Today, I felt like we dominated the whole game, we just made some mistakes on the back. Our shooting, yes, I felt was better. Ben scored from a free kick and had another one that hit the

cross bar. We’ll continue working on it.”

Creston outshot the Trojans 21-11, including a 12-5 advantage in shots on goal.

Haines had eight total shots, including four on goal, Irr had four shots on goal and Pals had four total shots.

Panther goalkeeper Alex Nielsen had two saves.

Creston got on the board

first, four minutes into the match on an assist by Irr to Pals. Atlantic’s Thomsen then scored twice to give Atlantic a temporary lead, 2-1.

I r r p o u n d e d Irr

a free kick into the net with 9:34 left in the half to send the teams into intermission tied 2-2.

Kaleb Cook assisted Jacobson’s goal just one minute into the second half to start a flurry that pleased the home crowd assembled around the north soccer field near Creston Elementary/Middle School.

Just three minutes later, a Trojan foul in the box set up Pals for a sharply-hit penalty kick that went to the right of Atlantic goalkeeper Nolan Farver. All of a sudden, Creston was in a commanding 4-2 advantage.

Zach Brooks scored for Atlantic off a free kick ricochet with 26:22 left to close it to a one-goal margin.

Off a Gavin Woods throw-in, Haines provided some breathing room by heading in a goal with 18:59 left and the 5-3 score stood the Haines rest of the night.

Tonight is a varsity doubleheader on the same field, with the girls facing Lewis Central at 4:30 p.m.

Orioles’ game in Baltimore postponed Westphal hurls Spartan victory at NIACC due to safety concerns

By TODD KARPOVICH Associated Press

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles’ home game against the Chicago White Sox was postponed Monday night because of safety concerns after riots broke out near Camden Yards following the funeral of Freddie Gray.

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred, at the stadium for a previously planned visit, said Tuesday night’s game between the Orioles and White Sox could be moved — possibly to Nationals Park in Washington — if safety continued to be an issue.

Rioters looted stores and threw rocks and bricks at Baltimore police about three miles from the stadium in the wake of the mysterious death of Gray. He died April 19 after suffering a severe spinal injury in police custody.

The Orioles announced the postponement about 40 minutes before gametime. About

1,000 fans were inside the stadium at the time, and many gates already had been closed.

The team said the game was called off after consultation with police. The White Sox were in Baltimore for the start of a three-game series.

“We feel like we made the decision that would provide us the greatest possible security in terms of protecting the fans, the players, the umpires, everybody involved in the game,” Manfred said. “I don’t know what more I can say about it at this point.”

Prior to the game, Orioles players gathered around a television in the clubhouse and watched the violence unfold. Police blocked off several streets near Camden Yards.

“There’s so many things that go on that you get challenged with, obviously this is a different level,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.

“There’s not a lot of experience with it.”

“So you try to take each moment as it comes and I

know there were a lot of calls to some guys’ families about making sure they knew what was going on from a safety standpoint. But guys are watching it. They are all aware of what’s going on,” he said.

White Sox manager Robin Ventura said his team was aware of the escalating situation.

“I mean we’re definitely keeping tabs on it. If there’s anything to do, to go ahead and respond to it. But you know, it’s concerning to anybody, I think, any time it becomes a violent protest, everybody is on high alert and you’re trying to do what’s best for the game and the players,” he said.

There was no immediate word on a makeup date for Monday’s game.

Major League Baseball has postponed and shifted games in the past because of unrest.

In 1992, the Dodgers had four games postponed in Los Angeles following the Rodney King verdict.

MASON CITY — Southwestern ended NIACC’s 11-game winning streak Sunday behind a strong pitching performance by Ethan Westphal, but it turned out to be the only Spartan victory in a fourgame set concluding Mon- Westphal day afternoon.

Weather pushed the two doubleheaders to Sunday and Monday. NIACC, third in the ICCAC Division II standings at 16-8, and 3412 overall, won Sunday’s opener 12-2 in six innings.

The Trojans also swept Monday’s doubleheader, 8-1 and 9-3.

Southwestern, seventh in the eight-team league at 6-18, and 11-31 overall, dominated the nation’s second-leading hitting team in the second game Sunday in a 10-2 victory in eight innings. The game was scheduled for nine frames until the Spartans reached the mercy rule (10 runs after five innings; eight runs after seven innings).

Westphal held NIACC to two runs over 6 2/3 innings, striking out six.

“You’ve got to hand it to him,” NIACC coach Travis Hergert told the Mason City Globe-Gazette. “Any time he needed to make a big pitch, he did. It’s the first time anyone has kind of shut us down in a while.”

“We went ahead early and put some zeroes on the board to stop a hot team,” SWCC coach Pedro Hernandez said.

Erich Gonzalez went

3-of-4 with two doubles and two RBI to lead the Spartans’ offense in the victo- Gonzalez ry.

In the opener, Daniel Bradley of New Zealand had a three-run homer and a double to lead NIACC to a 12-2 victory. NIACC starting pitcher Quinn Ahern, a Chicago State signee, earned his conference-leading seventh victory by striking out five and scattering eight Spartan hits over six innings.

“For the weekend, I felt our staff gave us shots to win, and we almost outhit them in total hits for the series,” Hernandez said. “We just did not get the big hits with runners on base, and they did.”

NIACC standout shortstop Robbie Glendinning of Perth, Western Australia, had a big day Monday in the doubleheader sweep.

He reached base in six of seven plate appearances and played well in the field.

His 54 runs scored lead the ICCAC. Joshua Santiago got the start in Monday’s opener for SWCC, fanning five with no walks before being relieved by Angelo Rivera in the fifth.

Samuel Vega and Jason Roberts each hit a double and single for the Spartans.

London Collins fanned five with three walks in starting the second game for SWCC, relieved by Zak Bassett in the fifth.

Sterling Rupp and Matt Mayden homered for the Spartans. Eric Bueno had two hits.

On Wednesday the Spartans travel to ICCAC Division I Marshalltown (16-29) before traveling to Iowa Falls for a key conference finale series against Ellsworth. At 4-20, Ellsworth is two games behind the Spar-

tans.

“We’d like to get some wins and possibly move up a spot for the regional tournament, with Iowa Lakes facing Kirkwood this week,” Hernandez said. “We also don’t want to lose three or four and face the possibility of going down (to eighth).”

Area soccer Atlantic 7, NV 3 GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley built a 2-0 lead within the first nine minutes of the game on a pair of goals by Marshall Singer, but Atlantic rallied with four goals in the second half to beat the Singer Wolverines 7-3

here Thursday.

Marshall McDermott and Matthew Smith each scored to knot the score at 2-2, before Nodaway Valley’s Dallas Kreager made it a 3-2 lead for the Wolverines at the 22:20 mark of the first half.

But Smith scored his second goal at the 32:29 mark, and the opened the second half with a goal at the 54:50 mark to put the Trojans ahead for good.
