Local poultry farms continue Americans safe practices to prevent bird flu spending at least half their pay on housing

said. “Chickens are generally a healthy animal, and we do not have them in the barn long enough to have many problems.”

Dunphy said he proactively tracks the water consumption.

As the birds grow, the water consumption should increase.

If it doesn’t Dunphy said he investigates if it was a meter malfunction or if his birds are under distress.

Tecumseh Poultry sends out a representative once a week to weigh the birds and conduct blood tests to make sure they are healthy. The representatives only visit one site a day to avoid potentially contaminating multiple barns.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The surging cost of rental housing has squeezed a rising proportion of U.S. families since the Great Recession struck in 2007.

For more than one in four renters, housing and utilities consume at least half their family income, according to an analysis of Census data by Enterprise Community Partners, a nonprofit that helps finance affordable housing. The number of such households has jumped 26 percent to 11.25 million since 2007, a sign that the 6½-year-old recovery from the recession has given scant relief to much of the country.

The government defines housing costs in excess of 30 percent of income as burdensome.

“It means making really difficult tradeoffs,” said Angela Boyd, a vice president at Enterprise Community Partners. “There are daily financial dilemmas about making their rent or buying groceries.”

The crisis reflects one of the shortcomings of the recovery: Wages have failed to match rising rental prices. At the same time, construction has failed to keep pace with demand from renters. The recession pushed more millennials, former homeowners who faced foreclosure and low-wage workers into rental housing.

A result is that 2.3 million more families face pressures that leave them perilously close to homelessness. It’s a reality faced

by Lisette Duarte, a 37-year-old living in a two-bedroom apartment with her family in northeast Los Angeles.

Duarte’s husband lost his job as an electrician more than three years ago. With both their son and daughter on the autistic spectrum and in need of care, he chose to stay at home while she worked a job requiring a 90-minute commute each way. The lost income forced them out of a three-bedroom house and eventually into a hotel, where vouchers over the course of five months helped them save for a security deposit for an apartment.

tate agriculture officials suspect five more Iowa chicken farms and two turkey operations in Buena Vista and Kossuth counties have been infected with the deadly H5N2 bird flu virus Friday morning.

With the new cases, more than 15 million Iowa birds have been or will be euthanized because of the bird flu.

The virus has been confirmed in seven Iowa counties, all in the northwest corner of the state.

“We don’t know how many cases we’ll end up with in either state or either species yet but there’s going to be a challenge in repopulating these

buildings,” Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said in a press release. “There will be some longer-term disruptions without knowing exactly what that is.”

Officials said migrat- Northey ing wild birds are to blame for the first widespread outbreak of this strain of bird flu in the United States.

“As far as water fowl and most song birds, the migration season is wrapped up,” said Chad Paup, DNR biologist for south-central Iowa. “A whole host of migrating birds pass through Iowa. Some of them are more susceptible to the virus than others.”

Safety procedures Colton Dunphy raises chickens in Union County for Tecumseh Poultry, which is labeled as Smart Chicken in local grocery stores. He currently operates two buildings that hold more than 26,000 birds

each and is in the process of building two more.

“I’ve walked chickens and done the daily maintenance since I was a kid in my father’s barns,” Dunphy said. “You can walk into a barn and tell if the birds are comfortable.

If they are, they are up and moving around, drinking and eating all the time.”

Each morning, Dunphy checks on his bird’s water consumption and the barn’s humidity and temperature. Dunphy said he has a set procedure before entering his barns to make sure no contaminates are carried in to where the chickens live. He wears a half suit to cover his clothing and dips his boots into a disinfectant to prevent tracking in any virus or bacteria.

Any deceased birds are removed from the building and taken off site to be composted. The chickens grow for six to seven weeks in Dunphy’s barns before being shipped to Nebraska.

“They are not here long enough to create a lot of parasites and disease,” Dunphy

“You can walk into a barn and tell if the birds are comfortable.”

BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore’s top prosecutor announced criminal charges Friday against all six officers suspended after a man suffered a fatal spinal injury in police custody, saying “no one is above the law.”

“Mr. Gray’s death was a homicide,” State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby declared.

His arrest was illegal and his treatment in custody

amounted to murder and manslaughter, she said.

The announcement came after nearly two weeks of growing anger over Freddie Gray’s death, and only hours after State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby received the results of a police investigation.

Mosby announced the stiffest charge — second-degree “depraved heart” murder — against the driver of

the police van. Other officers face charges of involuntary manslaughter, assault and illegal arrest.

Mosby said the switchblade officers accused Gray of illegally carrying clipped inside his pants pocket was in fact a legal knife, and no justification for his arrest.

House adopts GOP budget targeting ‘Obamacare’

HOUSING: Continued from Page 1

About a year ago, the family moved into a two-bedroom apartment in the Highland Park neighborhood where Duarte had grown up.

Two-bedrooms in that gentrifying community rent for an average of about $1,600 a month, according to the online service Apartment List.

The expense, along with utilities, consumes half of Duarte’s paycheck.

The family relies on prepaid cellphones. They don’t dine out or go on vacations.

Whatever extra income they have often goes for health care.

More than 30 percent of renters in California, Florida, New Jersey and New York state devote at least half their incomes to housing and utilities, according to the analysis. Other than Alaska, South Dakota and Wyoming, at least 20 percent of renters in every state face similarly high costs relative to income.

The analysis was developed for a “Make Room” awareness campaign sponsored by Enterprise Community Partners. As part of the campaign, pop stars such as Carly Rae Jepsen of “Call Me Maybe” fame, who sang for the Duartes, are performing concerts in the homes of financially distressed tenants.

Decades of barely rising pay has contributed to the problem. Average hourly wages have risen just 2.1 percent in the past 12 months, according to the Labor Department, while rental prices have climbed 3.7 percent, the real estate firm Zillow said last week.

BIRD FLU: Continued from Page 1

“Once one bird has it, the whole house has it,” Dunphy said.

Dunphy said his barn is built so migrating birds cannot enter the barn or leave feces in any vents, so the risk of bird flu in his barns is low. Dunphy added he can control the temperature, humidity and wind speed in his barn to keep the chickens comfortable and limit a potential of bacteria and virus

Many renters lack the income to pay the cost of maintaining and operating these buildings, said Barry Zigas, director of housing policy at the Consumer Federation of America and a trustee at the nonprofit Mercy Housing.

Mercy Housing has a portfolio of 12,000 units for low-income people and senior citizens. It costs an average of roughly $500 a month to manage each unit, Zigas said. A monthly rent of $500 would mean that anyone working full time for a minimum wage would devote more than a third of his or her income to housing.

Either the tenants must fork over a greater share of their pay each year or landlords may let buildings fall into disrepair.

The Great Recession caused waves of foreclosures and layoffs that pushed more Americans into renting. More than 36 percent of people now rent, compared with 31 percent before the recession began in late 2007.

The increased demand has yet to be matched by construction and renovations.

In March, the National Low Income Housing Coalition reported a shortage of 7.1 million apartments for low-income renters.

The shortages are most pronounced in Nevada, California, Arizona, Oregon, Florida, Colorado and Utah.

Construction firms are building apartment complexes at an annual pace of roughly 321,333 this year, according to the Commerce Department. The rising rental prices suggest that construction hasn’t kept pace with demand, according to economists.

on Thursday’s budget plan would permit a health care repeal to advance through the Senate without threat of a Democratic filibuster.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Thursday adopted a compromise GOP budget that promises to speed repeal of the President Barack Obama’s health care law while giving the Pentagon an additional $38 billion next year.

Obama The 226197 vote sends the non-binding budget plan to the Senate for a vote next week. It promises to balance the budget in nine years with more than $5 trillion in spending cuts, though Republicans make clear they aren’t interested in actually imposing controversial cuts to programs like Medicare, food stamps, Pell Grants or the traditional Medicaid program with follow-up legislation.

Instead, the House-Senate budget framework increases spending in the near term by padding war accounts by almost $40 billion next year.

And Senate Republicans skittish over politically dangerous

cuts to Medicare blocked a House move that called for giving subsidies to future retirees to purchase health insurance on the open market instead of a guaranteed package of Medicare coverage.

Under Washington’s arcane budget process, lawmakers first adopt a budget that’s essentially a visionary document and follow it up with binding legislation to set agency budgets, cut or raise taxes, and make changes to so-called mandatory programs like Medicare and food stamps, whose budgets run as if on autopilot.

Republicans tout the longterm economic benefits of a balanced budget and say it’s better to tackle the longterm financial problems of programs like Medicare and Medicaid sooner rather than later.

Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price, R-Ga., said the GOP plan “will not only get Washington’s fiscal house in order but pave the way for stronger economic growth, more jobs and more opportunity. It invests in our nation’s priorities, ensures a strong national defense and saves and strengthens and protects important programs like Medicare and Social Security.”

But Democrats say the GOP plan unfairly targets the middle class and the poor while leaving in place lucrative tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy.

White House budget director Shaun Donovan dissected the measure in a blog post that noted $600 billion

inary missions to Earth’s neighbor. They’ve been coming here for more than a decade, hoping their research someday helps put humans on the Martian surface.

This site and others that allow crews to mimic interplanetary missions are helping to raise buzz about Mars to an all-time high as advancements in science and engineering convince space enthusiasts that the 140-million-mile trip is a realistic possibility in this century.

The research center is run by the nonprofit Mars Society, an advocacy group that believes getting people to Mars to be the great challenge of our time. The group is not affiliated with NASA

it means the budget is not in balance.”

Separately, the House moved ahead on spending bills for the departments of Veterans Affairs and Energy. Both measures face veto threats because they fall short of Obama’s budget request, even as Republicans are skirting next year’s budget limits on the Pentagon by $38 billion by padding off-budget war accounts. Only 19 Democrats voted for the veterans measure Thursday in a 255163 tally that fell short of the two-thirds required to overcome a veto.

Obama insists he’ll block Republicans from boosting the Defense Department’s budget unless they agree to relief for domestic programs as well. The Pentagon and domestic agencies alike are being hit by automatic spending cuts known as sequestration, which are the result of Washington’s collective failure to come up with enough deficit savings to replace them.

The GOP budget also promises cuts to domestic agency operating budgets that are passed by Congress each year that are deeper than the already-unrealistic levels required under sequestration.

Such budgets would be cut by about $500 billion over 10 years.

Two of the Senate’s Republican presidential hopefuls, Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky, voted against the Senate’s budget last month as too timid, while Florida’s Republican Sen. Marco Rubio endorsed it.

Remote Utah outpost serves as stand-in for surface of Mars

in cuts from “income security” programs like nutrition assistance, cash assistance to low-income seniors and people with disabilities, and refundable tax credits for the working poor. Donovan also pointed out cuts to Pell grants for disadvantaged college students while noting that its relief for the Pentagon is temporary.

This year, Republicans are focused mostly on finally delivering legislation to President Barack Obama that would repeal the bulk of his signature health care law. Successful action on Thursday’s budget plan would permit a health care repeal to advance through the Senate without threat of a Democratic filibuster. Obama is sure to veto the measure, which is scheduled to advance by late July.

While assuming expiration of health insurance subsidies and repeal of the expansion of Medicaid coverage under the health care law, the measure promises balance over the coming decade by relying on about $2 trillion worth of cuts to health care providers and tax revenues consistent with levels in place after the 2010 health care law. Republicans promise to repeal the Obamacare tax increases but don’t say how they’ll replace the revenue.

“The Affordable Care Act is still here, the revenue is still here, and the Republican budget assumes that revenue for the purpose of achieving balance,” said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. “That leaves people’s heads spinning and

“What we are doing on Mars is beginning humanity’s career as a space-faring species, a multi-planet species,” said Robert Zubrin, Mars Society director.

On May 5, the third annual Humans to Mars Summit kicks off in Washington D.C., with about 800 attendees expected and as many as a quarter million more watching webcasts, said Chris Carberry, executive director of the organization that puts on the summit, Explore Mars Inc. “There’s never been so much support for sending humans to Mars,” said Carberry, who remembers congressional staffers rolling their eyes when he pitched the idea in the late 1990s while working for the Mars Society.

that the space agency’s plan is to get people to Mars in the 2030s.

Private companies are trying to beat NASA by getting people there first. Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s company, SpaceX, plans to unveil concepts for Mars colonization later this year.

Richard Branson’s company, Virgin Galactic, has also discussed a trip to Mars.

The Belgian students are the 153rd group in the last 14 years to travel to this outpost for a two-week mission.

None of the six are interested in going to Mars without a guarantee of a safe return.

Rules of the road Dear Readers: Most of us have taken a ROAD TRIP at some points in our lives.

Whether driving across the country or just a few hours away, here are some hints on driving safety and courtesy: * The left lane is for passing. When driving on a highway or multilane road, use the left lane for passing slower vehicles only. * Pay attention to speed-limit signs! When passing through a town, speed limits can be lower. * When driving at night, using your high beams can be very helpful to see. Just be sure to dim them whenever you see an oncoming car! * Do not tailgate. It not only reduces the amount of time you have to react, it also is rude. * Be sure to use your signals when changing lanes, turning, etc. The more information you give other drivers, the more you can reduce the likelihood of an accident happening. * Take breaks! Plan to stop to eat, stretch your legs and rest.

Road trips are a lot of fun.

Just remember to be safe out there, and courteous! — Hel-

Horoscope Saturday, May 2, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a loosey-goosey day featuring a buildup of tension with partners and close friends due to the pending Full Moon tomorrow. Fortunately, once the Full Moon peaks, tensions will subside.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You feel the energy building up before tomorrow’s Full Moon, which will be the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year. Patience and politeness are your best recourse.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Romantic partners must be patient with each other today, and parents must be patient with their kids. Tension is building up today before tomorrow’s Full Moon. It’s just that simple.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) As you well know, the Moon is your ruler, which is why you feel the energy building up before each and every Full Moon. Today is no exception.

Time for dark chocolate.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Be careful. As the energy today builds up before tomorrow’s Full Moon, things will be increasingly accident prone for you. Tread carefully.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Keep an eye on your cash flow and your possessions today because something erratic might affect you. Protect what you own. Don’t buy anything other than food or gas today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might feel tension building up between you and others because the Full Moon tomorrow is peaking. Nevertheless, for most of today, the Moon is in your sign.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Tomorrow the only Full Moon in your sign all year will take place. That’s why you feel nervous and restless today. Oh well, it’s all over in 48 hours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be patient with friends, especially female acquaintances. The energy that is building up today is a bit volatile, because it all peaks with the Full Moon tomorrow.

Easy does it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might feel tension dealing with parents, bosses and people in authority today.

This doesn’t have to happen, but it might. Wait until Monday

for things to blow over.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a mildly accident-prone day for you.

Challenges with travel are likely. If you can postpone travel until Monday, you’ll have a smoother ride.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Stay friends with your bank account so that you know what’s happening today.

Some challenges could impact shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt.

YOU BORN TODAY You are

observant. You have a keen insight into the behavior of others. You also are hardworking and productive. You take charge and stick to your plans.

Settle your debts this year so that you can prepare for financial accumulation in the next three years. To clear away indebtedness is the thrust of this year. Consolidate your affairs for future growth.

HEALTH

What you need to know to control this silent killer (BPT) — Most people assume they only need to take their medication when they are sick, meaning when they experience symptoms. But in the case of hypertension, this type of thinking could kill you.

Patients who have hypertension are often completely asymptomatic - that’s the reason hypertension is often called the silent killer. The belief that symptoms such as headaches, nose bleeds, nervousness, sweating, difficulty sleeping or facial flushing are signals to take blood pressure medication is a myth.

Nonadherence to hypertension medication is a huge challenge. Research shows that one in three American adults suffer from high blood pressure, but only 47 percent effectively treat their disease to keep blood pressure levels under control.

Higher risk for heart attack, stroke Express Scripts’ specialist pharmacist Ed Dannemiller recently spoke with a patient who was 40 days late to refill her blood pressure prescription.

“When I asked her about the delay, she said she only

takes her medication when she feels stressed or has a headache. The problem with this is that patients with hypertension may feel perfectly fine before suffering a heart attack or stroke,” says Dannemiller.

Normal blood pressure is less than 120/80, but consistent levels above 140/90 require medical attention.

Simply keeping a patient’s blood pressure under con-

trol decreases the risk of heart attack by 25 percent, stroke by 33 percent and heart failure by 50 percent.

But the only way to have a precise measurement is through a blood pressure reading.

Become an engaged patient “I encourage patients to become engaged in their own health and keep track of their blood pressure

readings, which can help prevent unnecessary hospitalizations or ER visits,” Dannemiller explains.

For patients with whitecoat hypertension - those whose blood pressure rises from stress in the doctor’s office - a home blood pressure monitor is a good option.

Dannemiller offers these useful tips for patients monitoring their pressure at

home: * Take blood pressure readings in a seated position with arm at the heart level * To regulate the monitor, discard the first reading * Keep a record of your blood pressure levels to bring to your doctor’s appointment This additional data will help your physician better understand your condition and make better medical

decisions to ensure healthier outcomes.

Lifestyle changes can help In addition to staying adherent to blood pressure medication, regardless of symptoms, the following lifestyle modifications also can improve cardiovascular health: * Consume a hearthealthy diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables and low in salt, fat and cholesterol * Engage in regular aerobic physical activity * Manage your weight, limit alcohol consumption and do not smoke Value of specialized understanding “Even with lifestyle modifications, most patients need at least two medications to reach their blood pressure goal,” says Dannemiller.

Intervention and education from specialist pharmacists provide an important resource to improve medication adherence. When patients understand the value of their treatment and embrace good cardiovascular health, they bring a little more noise to this silent killer.

sociated with some cancer treatments, and ibuprofen also might trigger problems.

Since 60 percent of cancers occur in patients 65 and older (and the numbers of seniors is booming!), pill-aging is an accident waiting to happen.

But whatever your age, it is important to pay attention to the potential interaction between your meds and with any kind of medical treatment you receive.

Always tell EVERY doctor about all prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, supplements and herbal preparations that you take. Is that too hard to remember? Try downloading a free app like Rxmind Me Prescription or MediSafe Meds and Pill Reminder. Not only will you have help remembering to take your meds, but you’ll have an easy-to-read list to show your doc. Don’t forget to put OTC meds and supplements in there, too.

LETTUCE POWER “Lettuce,” said Charles Dudley Warner, American author and pal of Mark Twain, “is like conversation.

It must be fresh and crisp, so sparkling you barely notice the bitter in it.” And just like good conversation, lettuce can be rapid-fire or low-key when it comes to delivering its nutritional messages.

A recent study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry examined the polyphenol, flavonoid, vitamin and antioxidant activity of three types of lettuce — one all-green (Batavia), one semi-red (Marvel of Four Seasons) and one red (Oak Leaf). Turns out, those leafy veggies deliver

their healthy goodness at different speeds.

—Green leaf lettuce has water-soluble antioxidants that act at slow and intermediate speeds.

-Red leaf’s compounds work at an intermediate and rapid pace.

-Semi-red leaf contains the full range of compounds that work at rapid, intermediate and slow speeds.

And they work together really well. If you eat a food that generates inflammation, you want to counter that quickly with rapid-acting, fire-quenching nutrients. But you also want to ingest slower-acting antioxidants that continue to KO potentially harmful chemicals over the long haul.

Move it or gain it Don Pellman, age 99, did the high jump in college, but gave it up for the next 58 years. Then after retirement he decided to get back into track and field. He went on to win four U.S. track records in his age group (high jump, long jump, discus and pole vault — including one at age 95) and set four world records. “You have to keep training 365 days a year,” he says. “I do something every day, if nothing but long, brisk walks.”

Clearly, he’s living proof that researchers from the University of South Carolina have got it right. They found that older folks need to use it to lose it and move it or gain it — weight, that is.

Looking at the habits of 4,999 adults ages 20-70, they found that most seniors improve their diet by opting for more veggies and leaner proteins, but they still gain a lot of life-shortening weight (35 percent of seniors are obese). The culprit, the researchers say, is a precipitous decline in physical activity. Less than 7.25 percent of adults 60-69 and 8.5 percent of those 70 or older get the recommended minimum 150 minutes of weekly activity.

But listen up, advancing agers: You can turn back the clock on your RealAge by adopting a walking routine (aim for 10,000 steps a day or the equivalent — 1 minute of aerobic activity equals 100 steps) and doing strength training twice a week. Maybe taking that short jump to better health will inspire you to try a long jump, too!

THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE ADHD IN

Weekly health tips Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. and Dr. Michael Roizen, M.D.

YOUNG KIDS One million viewers a day tune in to ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption” to watch Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon debate, inflate and rant about the latest sports news. Their style is in-your-face and high-rev.

If you don’t like it, you can turn it off.

In real life, when high-rev, interruption-filled behavior might be a sign that your preschooler has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, it’s tougher to know what to do. Fortunately, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued new guidelines to help parents of kids 6 and younger choose the best treatment for ADHD. Behavioral therapy that teaches kids and parents how to adopt alternative behaviors and interact more gracefully in social situations is THE way to go.

That’s because, according to a CDC representative, no one yet knows “what the long-term effects of psychotropic medications are on developing brains and bodies of little kids.” Behavioral therapy, however, is safe and can make long-term improvements in how a child functions at home, in school and with friends.

Unfortunately, for kids with ADHD, many never get to try behavioral therapy, and almost half of preschoolers with ADHD take medications for the disor-

der. So if your preschooler is hyperactive, impulsive or has trouble focusing, ask for a referral to a behavioral therapist who specializes in treating youngsters with ADHD. Your child might end up on medication if his or her behaviors are seriously unsafe or if behavioral therapy doesn’t address the problem sufficiently, but it’s the smart first step.

WE’RE JUST MAD ABOUT SAFFRON In 1966, when Donovan crooned “I’m just mad about Saffron/Saffron’s mad about me,” we don’t think he knew it takes 70,000 to 250,000 purple saffron crocuses to make one pound of the amber-red seasoning.

(It’s made from dried stigma, the part of the flower where pollen germinates.)

No wonder it costs $75 or more an ounce.

But its delicate flavor, wonderful color and nutritional payload (vitamin B-2, flavonoids) turn out to be only part of its powers: A new study reveals that taking the spice (most sold in North America is from Spain and Kashmir) is a more effective way to prevent and control post-exercise pain than taking an anti-inflammatory pain reliever called indomethacin; it is a NSAID, like ibuprofen.

Researchers had a group of inactive 18-year-olds go through a series of strenuous exercises: Those who

took the powdered saffron (300 milligrams, or 1/100 of an ounce, daily for one week before and for three days after working out) were pain-free for 72 hours after exercising; those who took the NSAID had minor pain 24 hours later; and those who took neither had severe muscle pain for three days afterward.

So the next time you’re getting ready to take a hike, join a charity walk-a-thon, do a fun run or are just looking for a flavor treat, cook up some paella, vegetable soup or Moroccan seafood stew, and add some saffron.

Luckily, it takes just a pinch (and you can buy it by the gram) to impart its flavor and goodness.

STOP THE PILLAGING When the Visigoths pillaged Rome in 410 A.D., they ravaged the once mighty empire and caused alarm all around the Mediterranean. Today’s pill-aging (too many pills!) is shocking doctors and patients as they discover the harmful effects that can come from being overmedicated.

A recent study from Thomas Jefferson University shows one kind of trouble that modern pill-aging can cause: The scientists found that 43 percent of the study’s participants (all 65 or older and currently receiving cancer treatments) took more than 10 different medications. Around 120 of the participants took ones that might conflict with their chemo regimens.

For example, blood thinners such as warfarin may increase bleeding risks as-

Activists work for Native American-friendly site names Officials in South Dakota and other states have for years moved to do away with overtly offensive names for geographic places and monuments. But South Dakota’s recent moves extend to names that might not be as obvious.

■

WOUNDED KNEE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota’s Shannon County will now be Oglala Lakota County, removing the name of a man who Oglala Sioux Tribe activists say helped with negotiations that were a precursor for the breakup of tribal lands.

The name change, which is official Friday, follows an April proclamation from the governor. More than 80 percent of the county’s voters approved the change in November.

Officials in South Dakota and other states have for years moved to do away with overtly offensive names for geographic places and monuments. But South Dakota’s recent moves extend to names that might not be obvious except to Native American communities and others who know the history behind them.

“The closer that you can get to naming something ... after the tribal name that was removed, the better off it is for future generations to be able to go back and to know that the world is finally recognizing them as a people who have a rightful place,” said Lionel Bordeaux, president of Sinte Gleska University on South Dakota’s Rosebud Indian Reservation.

Opponents argue Harney’s actions are more than a century old and say the name shouldn’t be sacrificed for political correctness.

One suggested name is Black Elk Peak, but many others have been proposed.

The board is taking public input and could issue a recommendation for a new name to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.

Native American activists in South Dakota appear eager to institute more name changes in the future for other sites with names that are not overtly offensive.

Redskins take OL Brandon Scherff with 5th pick in NFL draft Coach Jay Gruden said the Iowa graduate will help the Redskins get “back to the glory days of running the football and being physical”.

■

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Brandon Scherff played tennis — at 250 pounds! — in high school, along with baseball, basketball and throwing the shot put and discus in track and field. After taking Scherff with the fifth pick in the NFL draft Thursday night, the Washington Redskins are hoping his athleticism and versatility will improve their offensive line.

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said in a news conference at Redskins Park that the team plans to use Scherff at right tackle; he played left tackle in college at Iowa.

Asked on a conference call with reporters how he’d describe himself as a player, Scherff replied: “Nasty, physical, likes to finish blocks, likes to get after people.”

That’s exactly what the Redskins were looking for, Gruden said, explaining that he envisions Scherff helping to “get us back to the glory days of running the football and being physical.”

Scherff, listed now at 6-foot5 and about 320 pounds, is new general manager Scot McCloughan’s first draft pick

for Washington, which went 4-12 last season to finish last in the NFC East for the sixth time in seven years.

“There’s a lot of things that we need to fix, obviously,” Gruden said.

Scherff won the Outland Trophy in college, starting all 26 games over his last two seasons. He is considered talented as a run blocker but might need to improve in pass protection.

There was some thought he might leave after his junior year, but he stayed at Iowa.

And Scherff gained quite a bit of attention when a video of him doing three lifts of nearly 450 pounds from his knees to his shoulders while being cheered by teammates was posted online by Hawkeyes strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle.

As a high schooler, Scherff said, “Freshman year, I went from track practice to tennis practice to baseball practice, all in the same day.”

So Gruden expects Scherff to have no trouble moving from the left side to the right side of the line — or even switching to guard if that’s where the Redskins eventually decide to use him.

“He’s very versatile. Heck, he could probably play center, if he wanted to. But I think, Day 1, we’ll start him out at right tackle ... see how he does, and I’m sure he’ll pick it up quickly,” Gruden said. “The thing we liked about him also: He’s a very smart guy.”

2-headed calf born on farm in northern Florida Multiple news sources report the calf was born Sunday in Baker County.

Dwight Crews, the owner of the farm says he hadn’t seen one born in his more than 60 years of raising cattle.

Crews says the female calf has trouble standing

up, but has been feeding from a bottle. While one mouth suckles, the other mouth moves.

Ripley’s Believe It or Not has been in contact with Crews and says the longest a two-headed calf has survived is 40 days.

NATIONAL DIGEST

NFL Draft CHICAGO (AP) — Even with significant off-field baggage, Jameis Winston was the first pick in the NFL draft Thursday night.

With no such issues, Marcus Mariota went second.

You don’t pass up a potential franchise quarterback in today’s pass-happy NFL. So Florida State’s Winston is headed to Tampa Bay and Oregon’s Mariota goes to Tennessee at No. 2. They’ll take their Heisman Trophies (Winston in 2013, Mariota last year) and try to turn two downtrodden franchises into contenders, maybe even champions.

It wasn’t a surprise to see Washington CB Marcus Peters or Missouri DE Shane Ray go in the opening round, although both bring questions about personal behavior to the NFL that dropped them a bit. Peters went 18th to Kansas City, Ray 23rd to Denver, which traded up five slots to get him.

Following the quarterbacks were two more underclassmen: linebacker Dante Fowler Jr. of Florida headed upstate a bit to Jacksonville, then Oakland grabbed Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper. The first senior taken was Iowa tackle Brandon Scherff by Washington in the fifth spot, a bit of a surprise.

Game 7 SAN ANTONIO — Blake Griffin had 26 points and 12 rebounds and Chris Paul had 19 points and 15 assists as the Los Angeles Clippers held on for a 102-96 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night, forcing a Game 7 in their first-round series.

Marco Belinelli hit two 3-pointers in the final 80 seconds, including one with 14 seconds remaining, to cut the Clippers lead to 98-96. But Jamal Crawford hit two free throws to preserve the win.

The Clippers, who won for the second time in San Antonio, forced a Game 7 on Saturday in Los Angeles. No other first-round series has gone the distance.

J.J. Redick added 19 points and DeAndre Jordan had 15 points and 14 rebounds for Los Angeles.

Belinelli led San Antonio with 23 points, including going 7 for 11 from 3-point range. Boris Diaw had 17 points, Tim Duncan added 12 points and 13 rebounds and Kawhi Leonard had 12 points for the defending champions.

The Spurs’ bench outscored the Clippers’ 48-15, but Los Angeles’ starting five had an 87-48 advantage.

Paul was 7 for 21 from the field, but he helped steady the Clippers when they needed it.

He hit a fadeaway jumper and a 3-pointer to give Los Angeles an 85-78 lead with 7 minutes left.

It was one of those nights where you push your foot on the accelerator, and there just isn’t any extra horsepower to draw on.

After a 2-0 loss to Glenwood here Thursday, where one was a fluke “own goal” as a Creston defender tried to clear the ball wide of the net, Panther coach Jesus Rodriguez said his team just didn’t have the spark it’s had in some matches.

Creston defeated Atlantic

5-3 on Monday and shut out Lewis Central 2-0 Tuesday in a busy three-game homestand this week. The Panther coach said it could have played into the relative lack of offense his team showed Thursday.

“This being the third game of the week, there has to be a fatigue factor,” Rodriguez said. “I could see it in the guys. They were not playing like they normally play.

When you’re tired like that, you tend to save your energy when you have the ball.”

After a scoreless first half, Creston had high hopes for

the second half with the wind at its back on the north field near Creston Elementary/ Middle School. But, misfortune struck early.

The Panther defense accidentally knocked in Glenwood’s goal while trying to clear the ball from the box.

“Nielsen made the save, it bounced away, and Tayler Pettit was trying to clear it out, and it hit the post and went in,” Rodriguez said.

“Just unlucky.”

Shenandoah sweeps tennis duals

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Shenandoah swept Creston/O-M teams in Hawkeye 10 tennis duals Thursday.

Creston/O-M No. 1 and No. 2 singles players Jenna Taylor and Alli Thomsen won for the Panthers in action at Southwestern courts, and teamed up for a doubles victory to improve to 5-0 as a unit for the season.

But Shenandoah won every other match in a 6-3 victory. The Panthers fell to 4-2 in dual meets.

“We faced a tough opponent tonight,” said Creston/O-M assistant coach Amanda Plymale. “Jenna Taylor and Alli Thomsen

are playing consistently and aggressively every match, whether it’s Thomsen singles or doubles. Shenandoah brought a large team, which gave all of our JV players two matches. Our JV is getting a lot of experience this year and improving every day.”

At Shenandoah, two Panther doubles teams picked up victories in a 7-2 Shenandoah dual win.

Creston/O-M fell to 2-3 for the season.

Jacob Cook and Jaden Driskell won 10-8 at No. 2 doubles, and Sam Eagan

teamed with Seth Maitlen for a 19-7 triumph at No. 3 doubles. Driskell nearly picked up the Panthers’ only singles win before falling 11-9 to Alex Goodell at No. 4.

“As a team tonight things did not go the way we wanted them to,” Creston/O-M coach Kevin Cooper said.

“Credit goes to Shenandoah. They are a quality team and undefeated in the Hawkeye 10. We were unable to get those close matches to go our way and make the meet closer. I feel like we are getting better, and it is a great experience for us to play quality teams along the way.”

Hood breaks shot put record again Panther girls second at Carlisle

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

CARLISLE — The Creston girls came up just seven points short of winning their third straight track meet here Thursday.

“We didn’t put the same lineup together that we had the last two meets, because we have to figure a couple of things out yet for conference and districts,” Creston head coach Clay Arnold said.

“We knew this lineup would have a good shot at it. It sure did. Just came down to a couple of events we didn’t score in that gave them the win.”

Host Carlisle edged the Panthers with 121 points to Creston’s 114.

But for the third time this season, sophomore Hannah Hood broke the school record in the shot put.

Hood launched a throw of 39-8.50 Thursday for a new personal best after her 391.50 throw on Tuesday. That Hood t h r o w finished 3-7.50 better than second place.

“Hannah went ahead and PRed by 7 inches for a new record,” Arnold said. “She’s been gliding the last couple of weeks, which has made all the difference.”

Hood also finished second in the discus competition with a throw of 100-3.

The Panthers won three relay events on the track, in addition to senior Natalie Mostek’s win the 800 meters.

Mostek ran 2:26.80 to run away from the field in the 800 meters, winning by nearly 4 full seconds.

Mostek N. Mostek also ran legs on the Panthers’ winning 4x800 and 4x400 relay teams.

The 4x800 relay also ran away from the field, winning by 20 seconds with a new season’s best time of 9:56.27.

Junior Jessica Beatty ran a PR split of 2:34.79, with Taylor Briley running a 2:28.90 split. Maria Mostek ran a 2:28.62 split and Natalie Mostek anchored in 2:24.23.

“The 4x800 looked good.

CHARITON — A pair of freshmen led the Creston/O-M girls golf team to a runaway 184-227 victory over Chariton here Tuesday.

Ashton Carter and Sophia Groumoutis tied with rounds of 45, with Carter winning on a card-off for medalist honors.

“It was a beautiful night for golf and the girls pulled it together,” head coach Jan Lesan said. “We still left strokes out on the course.

These girls are amazing and just keep getting better and better.”

Juniors Madison Hance and Camryn Somers rounded out the team scoring for the Panthers, as each finished with a round of 47. Senior Hannah Hagle wasn’t far off with her round of 49.

Hayley Osmun took 10 strokes off her score with a round of 67.

“I believe as this year goes by, we are all improving individually and as a team,” Carter said. “Yet, we all have just the same amount of improving to do. And it’s time to finish out strong.”

Spartans fall in Game 4 of Golf qualifying assignments set Region XI-A Tourney

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

CEDAR RAPIDS — The Southwestern Community College softball season ended here Monday, as the Spartans fell to No. 8 Kirkwood 17-3 in Game 4 of the Region XI-A bracket.

Sunday, the fourth-seeded Spartans knocked off seventh-seeded Ellsworth by an 8-0 score in just six innings.

“The first three innings were real quick,” Southwestern head coach Lindsay Stumpff said. “It was looking like it was going to be the fastest seven innings of softball. Finally we started hitting.”

Gabby DuBois started things off in the fourth inning with a single and Emma Ferin drove her home with a double to open the floodgates. DuBois eventually hit a two-run walkoff homer for DuBois the Spartans.

Ferin, Mel Stevens and Nikki Tennant each hit a

double. Brennan Banks, Ferin and Stevens drove in one run apiece, while DuBois drove in three.

Malory Christiansen picked up the win for the Spartans, pitching six innings and surrendering only two hits.

Southwestern then dropped a 10-4 game to Kirkwood, after the Eagles dispatched of Ellsworth 9-0.

“I thought our girls came out ready to play,” Stumpff said. “The score is a bit deceiving. It doesn’t show the effort we put in that game or how well we played. It’s the most we’ve scored against them. At one point it was 7-4. It seems like every game we have that one bad inning and I think it took the wind out of our sails.”

Kirkwood totaled 16 hits to Southwestern’s four in the game. DuBois and Banks each hit a double in the game.

Ashley G i b b s drove in two runs and DuBois had Gibbs one RBI. S a m Strand took the loss in the

circle, giving up six runs, two walks and five hits.

The Spartans entered Game 4 against Kirkwood needing to win back-toback games against the Eagles to continue their season.

But Kirkwood got on the board in a hurry and never looked back in a 17-3 win.

“The second one, that was pretty much a debacle,” Stumpff said. “I thought we were ready. In warmups, the girls seemed like they were ready. The first inning they scored two runs. Neither one of those were earned, so that hurt us a lot. Second inning, they scored three and one wasn’t earned.”

Southwestern was hampered by five errors in the game, all of which led to Kirkwood runs.

“They get on base with our errors and next thing you know, somebody is hitting a home run,” Stumpff said.

Southwestern ended its season with a record of 26-19 overall. Kirkwood advanced to the District G Championship in Cedar Rapids today and Saturday against North Platte Community College.

Spartans fall at Marshalltown

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

MARSHALLTOWN — Marshalltown Community College never trailed in defeating Southwestern’s baseball team Wednesday, 7-3.

It was the final nonconference regular season game for the Spartans (11-32), who open a big conference four-game series today in Iowa Falls against Ellsworth.

Southwestern, currently seventh in the ICCAC Division II standings, could rise to sixth or fall behind Ellsworth into eighth heading into the regional tournament next week, depend-

ing on the outcome of this weekend’s games.

Starter Matt Brophy took the loss Wednesday, surrendering three runs (two earned) on five hits over 3 2/3 innings.

Marshalltown (18-29) padded its slim lead with four runs in the eighth to pull away. The Spartans committed five errors, including three in the eighth, which allowed the Tigers to stretch a one-run cushion to five.

“It was a 3-2 game in the bottom of the eighth,” SWCC coach Pedro Hernandez said. “They started with a triple, a single, a bunt and an error. Then again a bunt and we had a throwing error to let them score two

runs. They had a four-run inning.”

Southwestern threatened in the ninth but came away with just one run to leave the final score at 7-3.

“We left 12 runners on base in scoring position,” Hernandez said. “In the top of the seventh we had the bases loaded with one out, and didn’t score any runs.”

Going into the weekend, SWCC is seventh in league play at 6-18. Ellsworth (1635 overall) is two games back at 4-20. With a successful weekend, the Spartans hope to catch sixthplace Iowa Lakes (29-17), which is 8-16 in the league going into a tough series with fourth-place Kirkwood.

Got first, ran away with it,” Arnold said. “That 4x800 is really coming along.”

The Creston 4x400 relay team of Raegen Smith, Breanna Wallace, Natalie Mostek and Briley ran 4:15.58 to win by 8 seconds.

“We won that easily,” Arnold said. “Raegen put us out in front on her opening leg 62.79, then Wallace ran by herself for a 64.38. Natalie ran a season’s best 63.76 and then Briley cruised home a 63.99.”

The sprint medley relay team of Kiersten Latham, Amber Castillo, Smith and Briley also ran a new season’s best for the Panthers, improving by a second and a half.

The Panthers ran 1:56.34, which clipped runner-up Winterset by nearly 3 full seconds.

“Raegen ran tremendous,” Arnold said. “She blew her leg out of the water and Briley cruised on Smith a 62.03.”

W a l lace had a pair of individual runner-up finishes. Wallace took second in the high jump with a clearance of 4-10 and ran her first 400 meter dash

in several weeks, taking second in a new PR of 1:04.38.

Lexie Little was sixth in that event in 1:06.01.

finished fifth with a season’s best time of 1:12.23.

Senior Monica Powers finished eighth in the 3,000 meters, while the 4x100 relay team also finished eighth.

“We really have to get our lineup solidified for conference next week and then districts,” Arnold said. “We did figure out several things (Thursday).

Some girls stepped up. Still a few questions. Hopefully we can get those answered Monday at Atlantic. We’ll have good competition over there. Thursday (Hawkeye 10) we’ll be trying to score as many points as we can and win as many titles as we can, see where that leaves us in the team standings.”

SOCCER: Continued from page 1S

until Ram junior Fernando Gonzalez broke past the Panther defense and slid a shot past Nielsen for a 2-0 lead with about 30 minutes to play.

“It was a nice breakaway behind the defense by Fernando with a good shot low and away,” Ram coach Shane Keeling said.

That’s when the Rams went into defensive mode, outnumbering the Panthers every time they started to mount an attack in the scor-

ing area. Creston was limited to six shots on goal.

“If it was still 1-0, our guys would be motivated and still on the attack,” Rodriguez said. “But at 2-0 with 20 minutes left, now they can put six guys back (on defense), and three of them on Conner Pals.

That makes it tough.”

Glenwood had 10 shots on goal to Creston’s six. With Pals swarmed and managing only one shot, McClain Haines had a team-high four shots.

“We knew numbers three (Haines), five (Ben Irr) and seven (Pals) were their dangerous guys,” Keeling said. “I thought our guys did a good job on them tonight and had good possessions. We had some breakdowns in the midfield, but for the most part we were possessing the ball.

I thought our guys came into a hostile environment and played well tonight.”

Their midfield problems were usually caused by an active Irr, who finished with two

shots.

“Ben Irr had a heck of a game,” Rodriguez said. “He was disrupting their center play and creating our attack.”

Late in the match, Creston defender Kyle Jennett and a Ram player bumped heads on a corner kick. Jennett was momentarily down on the turf “blacked out” he said later, and suffered a cut above his eyebrow. He did not return.

Creston, trying to gain its first win over Glenwood since 2010, fell to 4-1 in the Hawk-

eye 10 and 6-4 overall. Kuemper, also owner of a 2-0 victory over Glenwood, is now the lone conference unbeaten.

Glenwood jumps back into the title chase at 4-1, and 7-2 overall.

“I think we’ll bounce back,” Rodriguez said. “If we can beat Kuemper, there’s a chance for a three-way tie for first. I told the guys, if we want to get to state, we’re going to have to face them again, and now we know what they’ve got. More than likely, we’ll be in their bracket.”

Creston and Glenwood

JV teams played to a 1-1 tie.

Connor Kinkade scored for Creston on an assist from Tyler Peters.

Creston hosts Indianola on May 5 before the May 9 Panther Tournament.
