Obama presidential legacy beginning to take shape WASHINGTON (AP) — Piece by piece, President Barack Obama is trying to build the foundation for the legacy he wants to leave, putting in place decisions that will reverberate beyond his presidency.

In quick order, Obama decided to locate his presidential library in his Chicago hometown and on Monday he will announce the launch of a foundation to continue the work of a program he

created to broaden educational and other opportunities for boys and young men of color.

“I’ll be done being president in a couple of years, and I’ll still be a pretty young man, not compared to you guys, but I’ll still be pretty young,” Obama told a group of middle-school students recently. “And so I’ll go back to doing the kinds of work that I was doing before, just trying to find ways

to help people, help young people get educations, and help people get jobs, and try to bring businesses into neighborhoods that don’t have enough businesses.

That’s the kind of work that I really love to do.”

Obama has seemed more focused than ever on legacy-building achievements since last fall, when the outcome of significant Democratic losses in the Senate put Republicans in control

Jo Duckworth, emergency management coordinator in Union County, estimates there are about 15 poultry producers in Union County. She had a conference call with these producers over the weekend.

“They are being very proactive,” Duckworth said.

“They have stepped up bio security on all farms and are in communication with one another regularly.”

Difference over surplus money delays legislative adjournment DES MOINES (AP) — At the center of the unresolved Iowa budget is a simple disagreement about how to count the money.

On one side are Senate Democrats and Gov. Terry Branstad, who support using some surplus money to balance the budget. On the other side are House Republicans, who say the state should not spend more than the projected revenue for the fiscal year that starts July 1.

The fiscal clash is part of the reason lawmakers are at odds over how much to spend on individual departments, differing on key areas like education. While Friday marked the final day for lawmakers to receive daily expense payments, they cannot adjourn until they craft a budget deal.

“I’m confident as both sides get budgets in play that we will work to find new ground. I’m confident we can get through this,” said Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs.

With the Senate and Branstad proposing overall general fund budgets of about $7.34 billion and House Republicans seeking to spend $7.17 billion, the numbers are not far apart.

Deaths Dean L. Goodman Diagonal

Dean L. Goodman, 89, of Diagonal died May 1, 2015, at Greater Regional Hospice Home in Creston.

F u n e r - Goodman al services will be 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 6, at Watson-Armstrong Funeral Home, 205 W. Monroe St., Mount Ayr. The Rev. Bill Armstrong will officiate. Burial will be in Clearfield Cemetery. Open visitation will be held 1 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, and with family present 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. service time Wednesday at the funeral home. Memorials may be given to Diagonal Community Building.

Online condolences may be left at www.watsonarmstrongfh.com.

Dean L. Goodman, son of

Charity (Garner) and John Goodman, was born Feb. 16, 1926, at home west of Diagonal.

Dean graduated from Creston High School in 1944.

In 1950, Dean married Anna Rose Bolton in Afton.

Dean worked several years on road construction.

He was a mechanic and also operated the machinery paving roads. Dean and Anna Rose raised their children on a farm near Diagonal where he also farmed.

Dean is survived by his wife Anna Rose Goodman of Diagonal; children, Marilyn (Gary) Stephens of Diagonal, Marlene (Larry) Christensen of Greenfield, Don (Laura) Goodman of Glenrock, Wyo., and Jon (Lorie) Goodman of Clearfield; eight grandchildren; nine CNA photo by JAKE WADDINGHAM great-grandchildren; other Pregame performance: From left, Kenzie Britain, Olivia Hagen, Jessilyn Eblen, Marie Mullin and Aliyah Drey of the St. relatives and friends.

Britain’s new princess named Charlotte Elizabeth Diana LONDON (AP) — Britain’s newborn princess has been named Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, royal officials said Monday.

The princess is the second child of Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge. The baby will be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.

Charlotte, the feminine form of Charles, is a nod to the newborn’s grandfather, Prince Charles. The middle names honor Queen Elizabeth II, the infant’s great-grandmother, and the late Princess Diana, William’s mother.

The princess is fourth in line to the throne after Charles, William and

her older brother Prince George.

William and Kate introduced the baby princess to the world Saturday evening, just 12 hours after Kate checked into a London hospital to give birth. The baby weighed in at 8 pounds, 3 ounces (3.7 kilograms).

Bookmakers had taken huge amounts of bets on the

name, with Alice, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Victoria, Olivia and Diana among the most popular guesses.

Earlier Monday, bells at Westminster Abbey pealed and gun salutes were fired across London in honor of the newborn princess. Dozens of deafening volleys were fired from Hyde Park and the Tower of London.

SURPLUS MONEY: But resolving the differences will likely take some political skill and creative budget dealmaking.

Gronstal said Republicans had “drawn a line in the concrete” over spending and encouraged them to compromise. His counterpart, House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, R-Hiawatha, said Republicans are happy to have a conversation but likely won’t shift their overall spending goal.

“The House Republican caucus is very committed to balancing ongoing revenue with ongoing expenses. It’s the one thing that we’ve said we’re absolutely firm on and I don’t expect it to change,” Paulsen said.

The real budget deadline is June 30, before the new fiscal year begins. In 2011,

lawmakers went right up to that brink, squabbling over spending and social issues, making it the one of the longest sessions in Iowa history.

Most hope this year won’t be a repeat. Branstad said he hopes everyone can reach a resolution in May. “These are differences that need to be worked out,” Branstad said.

The key issue is whether to use a portion of the state’s surplus budget dollars. As of the end of this fiscal year, the state will have over $400 million remaining in the general fund — in addition to about $700 million in designated rainy day funds. Under the proposals from Branstad and Senate Democrats, about $160 million in surplus dollars would be used to balance the budget.

Department of Manage-

fice,” spokesman Josh Earnest said, in part because of recent high-profile deaths of black men during encounters with police in Missouri, Ohio, New York City, South Carolina and Baltimore.

Besides the thought of

possibly resuming his work as a community organizer, Obama also has spoken of a desire for a post-presidential return to the classroom.

He once taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago.

Approximately 125 East Union students spent the afternoon cleaning 17 locations throughout Afton, Thayer, Lorimor, Arispe, Shannon City and the surrounding areas.

ment Director David Roederer said spending some of this money was expected.

Two years ago the governor and lawmakers agreed to a substantial commercial property tax cut, as well as new education spending.

“When the governor and the Legislature decided to reform our property tax system which hadn’t been changed in 50 years or more and also to reform our education system, it was laid out that for a threeyear period of time that additional revenue was going to be needed,” Roederer said.

“That is why I believe that the Legislature and the governor set that money aside, by putting that in the ending balance.”

Under state law, surplus dollars are available for use if the rainy day funds are at a certain level. Democrats have

made that argument, as they push for more spending than Republicans. But Paulsen said that doesn’t make it a good idea.

“This is the whole debate between what’s legal and what’s wise,” he said.

Guidelines for how much should be held in reserve and when surplus money should be spent varies by state, said Jeffrey Esser, chief executive officer of the Government Finance Officers Association. He said that state governments should have reserve funds to protect against emergencies, but each government is different.

“There is no right answer.

The answer that the policy makers in Iowa may come up with might be a different answer than people might come up with in Florida or other states,” he said.

He also announced a historic thaw in relations with Cuba, long isolated by the United States, and is leading other world powers in pursuit of a deal to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

Obama would also count the 2010 health care law as a legacy item, provided that it is upheld when the Supreme Court rules by the end of June on another challenge to one of its key components. The law has survived multiple attempts by congressional Republicans to overturn all or just parts of it. Obama’s legacy also will be shaped by failures and setbacks in domestic and

foreign policy and the rancorous political partisanship he promised to heal but did not.

On Monday, Obama will head to New York City to speak at the launch of the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, a nonprofit organization that is being established to continue the work of the My Brother’s Keeper initiative started by the president.

Under the year-old initiative, businesses, foundations and community groups coordinate spending on education and other programs to help minority males stay on the right track.

Automatic irritation Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about irons: “You wrote about the problem of irons not getting hot enough to iron clothes well.

I agree, but the frustrating feature is the auto shut-off!

When sewing, by the time I go to press a seam, the iron has shut off, and I have to wait for it to heat up again. There should be a way to override this feature for people who sew!” — Lillie in Chandler, Texas Lillie, it can be a hassle, especially when working on a project that requires using the iron a lot. I’m with you on this!

When I’m on a sewing spree, to have to keep turning on the iron for just a quick press of a seam gets to be very, very annoying.

The good news is, there are irons available that do NOT have an automatic shut-off.

Call a fabric store or get on the Internet, and the “iron” of your dreams is waiting for you! Keep on sewing! — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000

Many “engineered hardwood floors” are, in fact, well, not like real wood. The hint to keep in mind is to “clean” the flooring more often and prevent a big buildup of dust and dirt.

Horoscope Tuesday, May 5, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is not an easy day to write or study. It’s also a challenging day to talk to others, especially siblings. Just do what you can to hold your own, and don’t expect too much from others.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might feel caught in a financial squeeze play today. Perhaps your fair share of something or money from another source is less than you’d expected.

Bummer.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Mercury is in your sign today, opposite the Moon. This can affect your thinking so that you are distracted or nervous; more likely, you will fall prey to negative thinking. Tomorrow is a much better day!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t be discouraged by discussions with others or events surrounding you, because tomorrow is a wonderful departure from the negativity of today. Just hang loose.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Children might be an increased responsibility today. Just accept this, because this goes with the territory. Tomorrow will be a lovely, fun-filled day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Discussions with family members or authority figures in your family will discourage you today. People are more focused on why something can’t be done instead of why it can.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) It’s easy to fall into negative thinking today, in part because everyone else around you is thinking the same way. Don’t let the alligators get you down.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Do not let financial matters discourage you today, because this is temporary. Tomorrow things look much better. That’s why you have to keep the faith.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Do not fall victim to negative thinking today.

Because the Moon is lined up with Saturn in your sign, you can feel cut off and lonely. This is temporary. Relax.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might choose to work alone or behind the scenes today, because it just seems to be easier. That’s OK. Plan for fun and sporting events tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) Someone older or more experienced might rain on your parade today. Don’t take this to heart, because by tomorrow you will have a happier point of view.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Expect opposition from family members if you have important discussions today. You will be more successful if you have these discussions tomorrow.

YOU BORN TODAY People often ask you for advice. You are informed and observant; hence, you like to teach and

inform others. (And you do enjoy an audience.) This year, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for something new, because you are beginning a new nine-year cycle. This is a good year to travel.

The Numbers Game

44-0

Golden State’s record this year when holding opponents below 100 points.

National Digest

Curry MVP OAKLAND, Calif.

(AP) — Some called him too small. Others too fragile.

Stephen Curry has another label now: NBA MVP. The Golden State point guard has won the league’s most coveted individual award, a person familiar with the decision said Sunday.

An official announcement and news conference are expected Monday, and Curry will be presented with the award on the court before Game 2 of the Warriors’ Western Conference semifinal series against Memphis on Tuesday night.

Curry had 22 points and seven assists in Golden State’s 101-86 victory over the Grizzlies on Sunday.

Wizards win ATLANTA (AP) — After resting up for the past week, the Washington Wizards merely had to withstand Atlanta’s early pace.

Once the Hawks ran out of gas, Bradley Beal and the Wizards took control.

Beal shook off a sprained ankle to score 28 points and streaking Washington remained unbeaten in the postseason, knocking off top-seeded Atlanta 10498 Sunday in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

It was another gritty performance by the Wizards, who improved to 8-1 on the road in the playoffs over the past two postseasons, including 3-0 this year. They became the first team in NBA history to win four straight Game 1s on the road.

The Hawks needed six games to beat eight-seeded Brooklyn and had to open this best-of-seven series with about a 36-hour turnaround. After racing to a 37-26 lead after the first quarter, Atlanta couldn’t make anything in the fourth.

Even with plenty of good looks, the Hawks hit only 5 of 28 (17.9 percent) in the final period, including 1 of 10 from beyond the 3-point arc.

Roenicke fired MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers fired manager Ron Roenicke on Sunday night, hours after their 5-3 victory over the Cubs in Chicago.

The Brewers are a major league-worst 7-18 after a 2-13 start. The team said it will announce a replacement Monday.

“This has been a difficult start to the season, something that we certainly didn’t anticipate,” president and general manager Doug Melvin said in a statement.

“Over roughly the last 100 games, we have not performed at the level that we should. It’s all about wins and losses, and after the first month of play this year we didn’t see the progress and improvement we had hoped for.

Luther’s move sparks Panther streak-ender

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

OAKLAND — A lineup tweak helped the Creston girls snap a losing streak Friday against the team that was the victim 364 days earlier to end an even longer victory drought.

Senior Hanna Luther, playing her first career match at the center forward position, knocked in both goals in a 2-0 Panther victory over Riverside Friday.

She was assisted on those goals by Jaiden Stephens and Shelby Palser.

Becca Ross filled in at goalkeeper and posted a shutout, including catching a first-half penalty kick by Riverside.

“It was very exciting.

It had been a long time,” said Luther, after she was mobbed by teammates celebrating the long-awaited victory.

A year ago on May 2, Creston ended a winless streak of 35 matches spanning two years, 30 days, with a 2-1 overtime victory against Riverside at Panther Field.

This year, after an earlier 3-0 loss to the Bulldogs in Creston, the Panthers put together a stronger effort in scoring the only two goals of the night on Riverside’s home field. That ended a streak of 16 straight losses dating back to last year’s win, including eight matches to start the 2015 season.

Coach Kim Lauffer said the move to put Luther up front in the team’s 4-5-1 alignment, shifiting Palser to a wing opposite left of-

fensive midfielder Savannah Hartman, was the brainchild of her senior leader earlier in the day.

“I got a text from Hanna this morning (Friday) asking if I’d be open to the idea of her moving up front,” said Lauffer, who had used Luther at both defender and midfielder during her career. “Jerry (Hartman) and I talked on the bus about where to put people if we tried that. I’m comfortable with those three up front together. We had just spent three days in practice talking about how to improve on the defensive end, and it all came together tonight.”

“I was tired of losing and wanted to give it a shot,” said Luther, who fired a

powerful 18-yard shot as she was being knocked to the turf for the second goal with just 1:29 remaining. Palser got the assist.

Just 1:05 into the second half, Luther broke the 0-0 tie by taking an assist from Stephens for the 1-0 lead.

“It started with some passing back and forth with Shelby,” Luther said. “I got an open shot and aimed for the corner.”

The Panthers were fortunate to be in a scoreless deadlock at halftime. With 5:50 left in the first half, a foul in the box against Creston allowed Riverside senior Mackenzie Finnegan to line up for a PK against Ross.

Ross, JV goaltender last

year and mostly a midfielder this year, was filling in for Taquana Williams, still suffering some effects from taking a shot to the head last week. Ross made a slight move at impact and was in the right spot at the right time, catching the shot off Finnegan’s foot.

“My first ever PK I’ve taken!” said a relieved Ross afterward. “I heard one of her teammates say, keep it nice and easy. As soon as they leave the ball you can take a step forward, so I came forward and I was going a little to the right, and it came right at me! If she had gone to the left I would have been in trouble.”

Lauffer said that was a spark for the team, to avoid

the 1-0 deficit.

“Becca got in some practice there yesterday with Shelby and that helped,” Lauffer said. “It was a huge boost for them not to score there. Our defense was solid all night. Taquana took a ball to the eye in our last match and her head hurt when she ran in practice, so we gave her this week off.”

Lauffer said a conversation with former boys coach Bob Irr helped her communicate some important concepts to her team in the days leading up to Friday’s match.

Panther assistant coach Amanda Plymale said it was a day-long demonstration of teamwork.

“It was a great day for our team!” Plymale said.

“The girls came in with positive attitudes, played hard and came out with a great team win. Taylor and Thomsen sailed through to the finals, winning the championship round against Knoxville. McIlravy fought her way from being the three seed to winning the singles bracket. The team of Dunphy and Russell had never played together but had great communication in powering through to fifth

McDermott returns to lineup

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — Even though Creston finished ninth with just 17 points here Friday at the Tiger Relays, it was a big night for the Panthers.

The Panthers set a new school and meet record and got a boost from a big return to the lineup.

The distance medley relay team of juniors Chris Foster and Seth Maitlen and seniors Bryce Briley and Jay Wolfe shattered the meet record and, in the process, broke a school record that was previously set in 2001.

Creston ran 3:34.82 to beat the field by more than 11 seconds and breaking the meet record Harlan set last year by more than 9 seconds.

It also bettered the school record time of 3:36.77 set in 2001 by Jake Kawa, Gabe Stofferahn, Neal Lang and Nathan Brotherton.

“We tried it Tuesday at Carlisle and turned in a 3:37.89,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said.

“Foster and Maitlen both ran their fastest 200 legs of the season. Very smooth handoff on the blind handoff with those two guys.”

Foster ran 24.42 coming out of the blocks and Maitlen split a 23.66. Schlapia wanted the two 200-legs to combine for a 49-second 400 or faster, and they did that, coming through in 48 seconds.

Briley split a season’s best 400 of 50.64 and Wolfe anchored in 1:56.06.

“With the 200 legs, we were right in the hunt with about four schools,” Schla-

pia said. “Bryce got out into the lead. No one was close to us. Basically, the race was Jay against the clock.”

That time, when converted to FAT time by adding .24 seconds, becomes 3:35.06 and ranks the Panthers third in Class 3A this season.

Another highlight for the Panthers was junior Cooper McDermott’s return from a fractured ankle suffered during basketball season.

M c Dermott split a 2:15 on the thirdp l a c e 4x800 relay team in his McDermott first race of the season.

“This was Cooper’s first meet back,” Schlapia said.

“He was cleared a week and a half ago. That was nice to get a race under his belt.”

Joining McDermott on the relay were Dalten Bierle (2:15), Briley (2:00) and Wolfe (1:58) for a time of 8:33.04, which was a season’s best by 12 seconds.

The Panthers’ only other placewinning event was the 4x400 relay, which placed sixth in 3:42.07. Members of that team were Alex Tamerius, Maitlen, Briley and Wolfe.

Tamerius, a senior, ran the first open 400 meters of his career Friday, running 58.55.

“I want to commend Alex, as a senior, for volunteering to run that open 400 for the first time,” Please see RECORD, page 8A

Southwestern rises to sixth in ICCAC

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

IOWA FALLS — The weekend worked out perfectly for the Southwestern baseball team, even without its ace pitcher.

The Spartans went 3-1 in a weekend series against Ellsworth, while pitcher Ethan Westphal was rested with an ailment in his left (nonpitching) arm.

Meanwhile, Southwestern was able to climb one position to sixth in the seedings for this week’s regional tournament in Waterloo, thanks to previous sixth-place team Iowa Lakes going 0-4 against Kirkwood over the weekend. Ellsworth stayed in eighth place with the three losses to the Spartans.

“The guys stepped up and battled through tough at-bats,” said Spartan coach Pedro Hernandez. “We hit the ball out of the yard frequently this weekend. We got some good pitching.

John Bisignano threw six shutout innings to give us a great outing to start the series.”

Southwestern ended the regular season 14-33 overall and 9-19 for sixth in the conference, two spots higher than the previous two years. Ellsworth fell to 17-38 and 5-23 Iowa Lakes ended up one game behind

Southwestern in the league at 8-20, and 29-21 overall.

As the sixth seed, Southwestern meets No. 3 Southeastern (19-9), which won only one of four weekend games against NIACC in falling from the top position. Iowa Central ended up winning the league regular season crown at 22-6.

In the opening 3-0 win Friday, Bisignano pitched six innings and Angelo Rive- Bisignano ra got the save, preserving the shutout. Shortstop Samuel Vega led the offense in that game, Hernandez said.

Zach Maskill was the hard-luck loser in game two, throwing well in a 2-0 loss to the Panthers.

“They scored two unearned runs, and we left 12 runners on base,” Hernandez said. “Twice we loaded the bases with one out and couldn’t score.”

Joshua Santiago got the win as the Spartans won game three, 19-7. B.J. Anderson finished on the mound, entering in the sixth.

It was long ball day for the Spartans, including two homers by Jason Roberts.

Also hitting roundtrip-

pers in that game w e r e O m a r Frias, Misael Lebron, Sterling Rupp and Eric Roberts Bueno.

The power hitting continued in the series finale, as Zach Anderson belted two homers and Frias added another in a 14-2 victory stopped after five innings.

London Collins got the pitching victory in a complete game.

As for Westphal, Hernandez said he had fluid drained from his left elbow late in the week and was not cleared to play last weekend. It’s not his pitching arm and he should be available if called on for Thursday’s regional opener.

“He felt a lot better yesterday (Saturday), but he wasn’t cleared yet and we just held him out for the tournament,” Hernandez said. “It’s a good possibility he has game one for us. Hopefully we can keep playing for three weeks.”

After this week’s regional tournament (see related story), the winner advances to the District tournament hosted by the Region 13 winner on May 16-17. The National Tournament is May 23-30 in Enid, Okla.

Spartans in regional at Waterloo WATERLOO — The Waterloo Bucks, a summer collegiate baseball organization, announced that Riverfront Stadium will play host to the 2015 NJCAA Region XI Division II Baseball Tournament May 7-11.

Eight teams from the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference, including sixth-seeded Southwestern, will play in the five-day, 15-game

event.

The opening game of the tournament is set to begin at 10 a.m. on Thursday, followed by three more games that day. Four games are scheduled to be played on both Friday and Saturday, while two games are set to be played on Sunday.

The tournament championship will be played at 7 p.m. on Sunday, or at noon on Monday, May 11, if a double-elimination game

but we kept breaking down and I was searching for a way to get over that hump,” Lauffer said. “I talked through some things with Bob Irr, and he gave me a couple of key phrases to use in practice. It helped them understand what I was trying to communicate.”

Luther and Hartman each finished with nine shots on goal and Palser had five.

Abbie Cook and Jordan Moreland also showed some power on shots and each had three on goal. Ross finished with 10 saves.

At 5 p.m. Thursday at the north field, the Panthers host a 3-3 Chariton team that earlier nipped the Panthers, 2-1. On Saturday both the Panther girls and boys team host the annual Panther Tournament at Panther Field and the north soccer field.

“Thursday is another game that should be competitive for us, and we have three days of practice to continue working on things,” Lauffer said.

In JV action Friday, Riverside rallied from a 2-1

Schlapia said. “He took one for the team and gave something new a shot.”

Junior Nick Walsh ran his first career 1,600 meters and clocked a time of 5:13.70.

“That was a really nice, steady run,” Schlapia said.

“His goal was a 5:20 or better and he came in better than that. That was an impressive 1,600 for Nick.”

Trevor Downing led the Panthers in the shot put with a throw of 38-2 and Cody Tanner had a best throw in the discus of 111-2.

The Panthers return to action at Thursday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference Meet in Glenwood, where events start at 4:30 p.m.

“This just gives us something to ponder when we’re setting our lineup for Hawkeye 10 and the following week at the State Qualifying Meet. Lot of possibilities.”

Junior varsity Creston had six placewinners in the JV division of Friday’s meet, which was the final meet for many of the Creston JV athletes.

The 4x800 relay team of Nathan Cox, Dylan Linch, Ben Bargstadt and Trey Gift earned a medal with its second-place finish.

Creston’s JV team also had five fifth-place finishes with Cox in the long jump,

Mayweather takes his $100 million check and runs

By TIM DAHLBERG AP Boxing Writer

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The check was for $100 million, a payday so mind boggling that Floyd Mayweather Jr. couldn’t help but show it to a few reporters when the night was done.

“No pictures, though,” Mayweather said, sliding the check out of an envelope.

“Don’t want any pictures of it.”

The check will soon be cashed, adding to the millions Mayweather already has stashed in his bank accounts.

It was actually just a down payment for his night’s work, which could total more than $200 million by the time payper-view sales are tallied up.

The richest fight ever wasn’t the best fight ever, but that wasn’t entirely Mayweather’s fault. He did what he usually does Saturday night against Manny Pacquiao in a win that cemented his legacy as the best of his generation, even if he didn’t win any new fans doing it.

Still, the fight will be a tough act to follow if only because of the staggering money it brought in. Hard to imagine Mayweather fighting for a paltry $30 million or $40 million after a night he made history with the richest single payday any athlete of any sport has made.

He says he’ll fight once more in September, then hang up the gloves. Mayweather says it’s time to enjoy the fruits of his labor from a sport that has consumed his life since he was a kid throwing punches in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

“I don’t really think I’ll miss the sport,” Mayweather said.

“I don’t even watch boxing.

At one particular time I loved the sport of boxing. I wanted to go to every fight and wanted to be at every boxing event. But I just lost the love for the sport.”

Before a well-heeled crowd of 16,507 that cheered every time Pacquiao threw a punch, Mayweather dominated late once again to pull out a decision win that seemed closer

in the ring than it did on the scorecards. Pacquiao even thought he won, though punch stats showed Mayweather landing far more punches and even throwing more than the usually frenetic Filipino.

Pacquiao would blame a shoulder injury suffered in training last month for not being able to throw more right hands. His handlers would blame Nevada boxing officials for not allowing him a shot to numb the shoulder just before the fight, though the excuse rang hollow.

“I cannot use a lot of my right hand but the fight was still good,” Pacquiao said.

“What we wanted to do we couldn’t do because of my shoulder. But he’s fast, he’s a good boxer. Give the credit to him. He won tonight.”

Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, said his fighter would like a rematch, but there is little chance of that. Not with Pacquiao’s shoulder injury, and certainly not after the perfect financial storm of a fight that cannot be replicated.

Bierle in the 400 meter dash, Gift in the 1,600 meters, Joe Eblen in the 200 meter dash and Linch in the 800 meters.

“Special mention to Elijah Johnson as a senior, who was in the JV 100 and 200,” S c h l a - Johnson pia said.

“Here’s a young man, four years of track, finishing off. It was nice to see how he improved through these four years.

He’s an example of what hard work does for a person.”

McDonald’s to simplify structure, focus on customers The company also said last month that it would double its planned restaurant closures this year to roughly 700.

■

NEW YORK (AP) — McDonald’s CEO Steve Easterbrook says he’s stripping away layers of bureaucracy and increasing accountability so the company can move more nimbly to keep up with changing tastes.

During a 23-minute video message posted online Monday, Easterbrook said the company’s structure is too “cumbersome” and that it can no longer afford its “legacy structure.”

“The reality is our recent performance has been poor.

The numbers don’t lie,” said Easterbrook, who took charge of the world’s biggest hamburger chain on March 1.

To foster quicker movement, McDonald’s is restructuring its units into four groups based on the maturity of its presence in the market: the flagship U.S. market, established international markets such as Australia and the United Kingdom, highgrowth markets such as China and Russia, and the rest of the world.

Previously, the business was segmented by geography.

McDonald’s, based in Oak Brook, Illinois, also plans to have 90 percent of its restaurants around the world franchised over the next four years. That’s up from 81 percent, and will mean the company will rely more heavily on franchising fees than sales from running restaurants.

The organizational changes will contribute to $300 million in cost-cutting targeted by McDonald’s, most of which will be realized by 2017. The company said it’s too early to say how slashed costs will affect jobs.

Its stock fell 1 percent to $96.65.

Easterbrook also repeatedly stressed during the video that the company will focus more on listening to customers, saying there will be “less sweeping talk of millennials” as though they’re a homogenous group. The company is

also working on improving perceptions about the quality of its food with items like a trio of new sirloin burgers. In New York City, Easterbrook said McDonald’s is partnering with Postmates to offer delivery starting Monday.

The “turnaround blueprint” comes as McDonald’s is fighting intensifying competition from a variety of players and has admitted that it failed to keep up with changing tastes. Sales in Asia took a big hit after a controversy over a major supplier this past summer, and business in Europe has been weak. Its profit dropped 15 percent last year.

In its flagship U.S. market, executives said the menu got too complicated and gummed up operations. Customer visits at established locations declined for two straight years.

Already, McDonald’s has tried a number of moves to inject some life back into its brand.

Back in December, it said it would start trimming its menu to simplify operations and make room for new offerings.

More recently, it began testing an all-day breakfast menu in San Diego, revamped its grilled chicken recipe and said it would curb the use of antibiotics.

The company also said last month that it would double its planned restaurant closures this year to roughly 700. It hasn’t yet revealed its updated plans on overall restaurant count growth. At the end of last year, McDonald’s Corp. had more than 36,200 locations around the world.

Easterbrook, who previously headed up the U.K. business, has described himself as an “internal activist” and says he wants to turn McDonald’s into a “modern, progressive burger company.”

The turnaround plan comes ahead of the company’s annual shareholder meeting on May 21.

Maddox participated in the event with his cousins Thomas, Amber and Timothy, who are all Mayflower students.

Karla Powers, administrator at Mayflower, said more than 68 students — kindergarten through eighth grade — were part of this event, which is both a school fundraiser and lesson in bike safety and fitness.

The event raised about $8,000.
