Fourth UCDA house under way on South Elm Street

CLOSING TUESDAY

Pizza Hut in Creston closing after nearly 45 years on Highway 34. Customers flood establishment Thursday to get their “last pizza.”

Rain pittered-pattered atop the famous “red roof” of Pizza Hut on Highway 34 in Creston Thursday afternoon.

It was 4 p.m. and word had most definitely spread that Creston’s Pizza Hut was closing. The phone was ringing off the hook with customers calling in their “last pizza” from the establishment while others like Lindsay Jones of Creston and her family had no problem shrugging off some rain so they could “dine in” at least one more time.

“A coworker texted me this afternoon and told me the news,” Jones said.

“I told the kids, ‘we’re going.’ We may only get to eat here one or two more times. We had to come. I

wish they weren’t closing the doors. We didn’t get much notice.”

Jones and her two children — 8-year-old Stephen and 9-year-old Savannah — come to Pizza Hut in Creston at least once per month to redeem a free personal pan pizza the children earn through an after school Book-It reading program.

It’s also tradition they come to Pizza Hut each winter after sledding.

“We will miss that,” said Jones, who doubts they’ll make the 35-minute trek to the nearest Pizza Hut location in Osceola.

Not far from Jones, Teresa Foote of Afton

was standing in the lobby Thursday waiting to pick up her last Pizza Hut pie: A large, steaming hot, half pepperoni, half supreme pan pizza that met her satisfaction as the t e a m member opened Foote the box to confirm a correct order.

“I’ve been eating here since it opened in the ‘70s,” Foote said. “So, I’m devastated. I could eat here every night, but my husband can’t tolerate pizza that often.”

Foote planned to share the pizza with her son Jesse Meggison.

Other memories and comments have flooded the Creston News Advertiser Facebook page over the past 18 hours with 40 people commenting and more than 8,000 people viewing the closure announcement.

Pizza Hut in Creston will close officially at 10 p.m. Tuesday with lights out and doors closed indefinitely at that time.

Management would not say why the Creston location is closing and calls by the News Advertiser to Pizza Hut’s corporate number were not returned as of deadline today.

Legend B.B. King dead at 89 LAS VEGAS (AP) — B.B. King, whose scorching guitar licks and heartfelt vocals made him the idol of generations of musicians and fans while earning him the nickname King of the Blues, died late Thursday at home in Las Vegas. He was 89.

His attorney, Brent Bryson, told The Associated Press that King died peacefully in his sleep at 9:40 p.m. PDT. He said funeral arrangements were

underway.

Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg confirmed the death.

King’s eldest surviving daughter Shirley King of the Chicago area said she was upset that she didn’t have a chance to see her father before he died.

Although he had continued to perform well into his 80s, the 15-time Grammy winner suffered from diabetes and had been in declining health during the past

year. He collapsed during a concert in Chicago last October, later blaming dehydration and exhaustion. He had been in hospice care at his Las Vegas home.

For most of a career spanning nearly 70 years, Riley B. King was not only the undisputed king of the blues but a mentor to scores of guitarists, who included Eric Clapton, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, John Mayall and Keith Richards.

He recorded more than

50 albums and toured the world well into his 80s, often performing 250 or more concerts a year.

King played a Gibson guitar he affectionately called Lucille with a style that included beautifully crafted single-string runs punctuated by loud chords, subtle vibratos and bent notes.

The result could bring chills to an audience, no Please see KING, Page 2A

No. 4 is on the way.

Wayne Pantini, executive director for Union County Development Association (UCDA), said the basement has been poured for a new 1,200 square foot home on South Elm Street in Creston and construction will begin this coming fall.

This will be the fourth house constructed on South Elm thanks to a city of Creston, Southern Iowa Council of Government (SICOG), UCDA and Southwestern C o m munity College (SWCC) partnership. “ T h i s Pantini one will be a little bigger than the other three and is a traditional ranch-style home,” Pantini said.

Pantini said the fourth house is located at 403 S. Elm St. and will have three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an unfinished basement. The basement will house the laundry room and will have an egress window, which will allow the buyer to add a fourth bedroom there in the future, if desired.

This house will not have a garage.

HOUSE DETAILS The fourth UCDA house will be 1,200 square feet, have three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an unfinished basement Call Wayne Pantini at 641-782-2003 if interested in the South Elm Street houses.

Pantini said the third UCDA house at 501 S. Elm St. is about 85 percent complete and hopes it will be ready to show during the Parade of Homes slated for June 27. He said interior painting, flooring and finish work need completed.

The house has two bedrooms and one bathroom on the 964-square-foot main floor. The unfinished basement has a large laundry room and an egress window, which will allow the buyer to add a third bedroom in the future, if desired. None of the four houses have a garage.

No adjournment in sight for Iowa Legislature DES MOINES (AP) — Two weeks after their daily expense payments ended, Iowa lawmakers still have not been able to find common budget ground, even though the proposals from Republican-led House and Democratic-majority Senate are only about 2 percent apart.

Legislative leaders said Thursday there was still work to do before they can adjourn. Lawmakers have not been able to agree on an overall spending level or how much new money to provide to schools.

cil Bluffs, said that many Senators would not be in for much of next week, as the focus will turn to negotiations between legislative leaders. He said the two sides were trying to find ways to make some one-time payments to make up the difference between their budget proposals.

“There are certainly things in the state budget that are clearly

one time expenditures,” Gronstal said.

Legislators must resolve the budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1 before they can conclude the session; daily expense payments for lawmakers ended May 1. With the Senate and Gov. Terry Branstad a proposing overall general fund budgets of about $7.34 billion and House Repub-

The major sticking point this year has Branstad been how much money is available to spend. Senate Democrats and Gov.

Making some one-time payments to balance the budget could allow the state to dip into the surplus, while allowing Republicans to stick to their pledge of controlling ongoing expenses. But it is not clear the strategy will work. There has been discussion of an education compromise on education that could include an increase in basic aid for schools, plus a one-time payment, but some conservative Republicans in the House have balked at the prospect.

The community can try and save Creston’s Pizza Hut by going online to www.tellpizza-

Creston is not the only Pizza Hut to close in Iowa over the past year. Chariton’s Pizza Hut closed about one month ago and Perry’s closed earlier this week. Pizza Huts in Clear Lake and Forest City closed around this time last year.

home has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large laundry room on the first floor.

It also has an unfinished basement with an egress window to allow the buyer to add a third bedroom in the future, if desired. The house lists at $109,195.

“There has been some recent interest,” Pantini said.

Pantini said nine Creston realtors are participating in

the sale of this home. They include Monday Realty, Ellis-Poore Realty, Callahan Realty, Stewart Realty, R Realty, Paul Eckhoff Realty, Green Valley Realty, Hometown Realty and Carter Agency.

Prospective buyers can view the house by contacting the above realtors or by calling Pantini at (641) 782-2003.

The first UCDA house at 505 S. Elm St. was sold for $92,500 in 2013.

LEGISLATURE: Continued from Page 1

Rep. Greg Heartsill, R-Melcher-Dallas, said he could support a one-time spending compromise on school spending, but he was cautious.

He also wasn’t as sure about the same approach on other budget bills.

“I’d have to look at each

individual one,” he said.

“Again, we’ve only got so much one-time money to use as well.”

House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, a Hiawatha Republican, did not detail why lawmakers are having difficulty, but said they were dealing with a perennial problem: “Democrats want to spend more than Republicans.”

KING: Continued from Page 1

more so than when King used it to full effect on his signature song, “The Thrill is Gone.” He would make his guitar shout and cry in anguish as he told the tale of forsaken love, then end with a guttural shouting of the final lines: “Now that it’s all over, all I can do is wish you well.”

His style was unusual.

King didn’t like to sing and play at the same time, so he developed a call-andresponse between him and Lucille.

“Sometimes I just think that there are more things to be said, to make the audience understand what I’m trying to do more,” King told The Associated Press in 2006. “When I’m singing, I don’t want you to just hear the melody.

I want you to relive the story, because most of the songs have pretty good storytelling.”

A preacher uncle taught him to play, and he honed his technique in abject poverty in the Mississippi Delta, the birthplace of the blues.

“I’ve always tried to defend the idea that the blues doesn’t have to be sung by a person who comes from Mississippi, as I did,” he said in the 1988 book “Off the Record: An Oral History of Popular Music.”

“People all over the world have problems,” he said. “And as long as people have problems, the blues can never die.”

Fellow travelers who took King up on that theory included Clapton, the British-born blues-rocker who collaborated with him on “Riding With the King,” a best-seller that won a Grammy in 2000 for

King’s honors King was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in 1984, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and received the Songwriters Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award in 1990. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President George W. Bush, gave a guitar to Pope John Paul II and had President Barack Obama sing along to his “Sweet Home Chicago.” best traditional blues album.

Singer Smokey Robinson praised the music legend.

“The world has physically lost not only one of the greatest musical people ever but one of the greatest people ever. Enjoy your eternity,” Robinson said.

Still, the Delta’s influence was undeniable. King began picking cotton on tenant farms around Indianola, Mississippi, before he was a teenager, being paid as little as 35 cents for every 100 pounds, and was still working off sharecropping debts after he got out of the Army during World War Two. “He goes back far enough to remember the sound of field hollers and the cornerstone blues figures, like Charley Patton and Robert Johnson,” ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons once told Rolling Stone magazine.

King got his start in radio with a gospel quartet in Mississippi, but soon moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where a job as a disc jockey at WDIA gave him access to a wide range of recordings. He studied the great blues and jazz guitarists, including Django Reinhardt and T-Bone Walker, and played live music a few minutes each day as the “Beale Street Blues Boy,” later short-

ened to B.B. Through his broadcasts and live performances, he quickly built up a following in the black community, and recorded his first R&B hit, “Three O’Clock Blues,” in 1951.

He began to break through to white audiences, particularly young rock fans, in the 1960s with albums like “Live at the Regal,” which would later be declared a historic sound recording worthy of preservation by the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry.

He further expanded his audience with a 1968 appearance at the Newport Folk Festival and when he opened shows for the Rolling Stones in 1969.

King was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in 1984, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and received the Songwriters Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award in 1990. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President George W. Bush, gave a guitar to Pope John Paul II and had President Barack Obama sing along to his “Sweet Home Chicago.”

Other Grammys included best male rhythm ‘n’ blues performance in 1971 for “The Thrill Is Gone,” best ethnic or traditional recording in 1982 for

“There Must Be a Better World Somewhere” and best traditional blues recording or album several times. His final Grammy came in 2009 for best blues album for “One Kind Favor.”

Through it all, King modestly insisted he was simply maintaining a tradition.

“I’m just one who carried the baton because it was started long before me,” he told the AP in 2008.

Born Riley B. King on Sept. 16, 1925, on a tenant farm near Itta Bena, Mississippi, King was raised by his grandmother after his parents separated and his mother died. He worked as a sharecropper for five years in Kilmichael, an even smaller town, until his father found him and took him back to Indianola.

“I was a regular hand when I was 7. I picked cotton. I drove tractors. Children grew up not thinking that this is what they must do. We thought this was the thing to do to help your family,” he said.

When the weather was bad and he couldn’t work in the cotton fields, he walked 10 miles to a oneroom school before dropping out in the 10th grade.

After he broke through as a musician, it appeared King might never stop performing.

When he wasn’t recording, he toured the world relentlessly, playing 342 one-nighters in 1956. In 1989, he spent 300 days on the road. After he turned 80, he vowed he would cut back, and he did, somewhat, to about 100 shows a year.

He had 15 biological and adopted children. Family members say 11 survive.

Umbrella needs a good cleaning Dear Heloise: I read your column in The Washington Post. I was wondering if you have a suggestion for CLEANING AN UMBRELLA. I have a small, collapsible, yellow umbrella. It is somewhat soiled, yet in excellent condition. What can I use to clean the canopy? — Tom in Washington, D.C. Good question! Cleaning umbrellas is pretty simple.

Usually you can “spiff up” a dirty umbrella by just wiping it down with a damp cloth and tap water. Some harsh cleaning products may reduce some of the waterproof coating.

Always start with the mildest solution of a few drops of liquid dish soap (or hair shampoo) to a sink of warm (not hot) tap water. Gently wash the soiled areas to remove any dirt. Let the material soak for five minutes or so to loosen up any dirt.

Then take a sponge or washcloth and gently rub to remove dirt, then rinse well.

Keep it open to make drying easier. If, perchance, some of the waterproofing is diminished, treat it with spray-on waterproofing, which is sold at shoe-repair shops. Should be good as new! — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT

Hints from Heloise TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: We travel a lot, and my husband hates emptying his pockets and unbuckling his belt to go through security. He now keeps a quart-size zippered plastic bag in his pocket, and prior to going through security, he puts everything in it and then places it in his carry-on. It is more efficient, and items aren’t open for loss or theft. — Ann Marie and Michael, Bakersfield, Calif.

PLANT WATERING Dear Heloise: We have a few houseplants, and I usually don’t have good luck with them. My husband waters them, and he often would ask when they were watered last.

Now I put a small sticker on

It is easy to glance at the page and see when they were watered. — Ginny G., via email NO PEEKABOO Dear Heloise: After years of going to my OB-GYN appointments, I finally figured out a way to be a little more comfortable. They always ask you to disrobe and put on the paper “garments.” The garments don’t cover much, and make me feel very insecure.

Now I wear a large man’s button-down shirt. It covers more, still gives the doctor access and gives me a little comfort in an uncomfortable situation. — Erica in Texas Yes, those gowns do not provide much coverage.

Here’s what I do: Ask for BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker TWO gowns, and wear one back to front, then the other one front to back. No “peekaboo” as you are walking down the hall. — Heloise OLD PHONE Dear Heloise: I take a medication every 12 hours that is important.

Breathe deeply and safely: 5 ways to protect yourself from CO poisoning (BPT) — Most homeowners recognize the importance of protecting their homes from fire. They do this by checking the batteries in their smoke alarms, completely extinguishing fires in their fireplaces and keeping flammable materials away from candles or space heaters. However, while fire safety is front and center, many homeowners overlook the ways they can protect their families from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

And that’s a mistake no homeowner can afford to make.

Census data shows most homes in the U.S. have either fuel-burning appliances or an attached garage, but only approximately half of all homes have a working CO alarm - the only safe way to detect this odorless, colorless and invisible threat. Carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the United States; claiming more than 400 lives each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition, more than 20,000 people visit the emergency room and more than 4,000 are hospi-

talized due to accidental CO poisoning annually.

Thankfully, protection can be as simple as applying these five tips. * Seek professional help.

One of the most common causes of CO poisoning is a filthy or inefficient heating system. Poorly maintained chimneys and flues can crack, causing ventilation problems and preventing CO from escaping up the chimney. Likewise, a faulty furnace could also emit CO into the home. Have your chimney or heating system cleaned and serviced by trained technicians annually to eliminate this risk. * Add or upgrade your carbon monoxide alarm.

Your CO alarms is just as important as your home’s smoke alarms, so make sure you have one and that it is working properly. Kidde Worry-Free carbon monoxide alarms have the longest life available in a CO alarm - 10 years - and come in both battery and hardwired power options. Each alarm contains a sealed-in lithium battery that last a decade providing homeowners with peace of mind knowing their alarms are always on. The Worry-Free Combination

alarm offers warning of both fire and CO and includes a voice alert to clearly identify the hazard present. It also features a unique smart sensing technology to significantly reduce nuisance alarms. * Keep the grill and generator outdoors. Using a grill or generator due to a power outage? Put on a jacket and go outside. Never bring the grill indoors or operate

it or a generator in a space attached to your home such as a porch, patio or garage.

Both can emit high levels of CO, and need plenty of ventilation. Even having the garage door open does not offer enough air flow to reduce CO levels. * Use your indoor appliances properly. Only use appliances as they are designed by the manufacturer. For instance, never use

gas appliances, like your range or oven, to heat in the house. This increases your risk of CO poisoning. * Know the symptoms.

CO symptoms mimic the flu without fever. Since winter is also peak flu season, know the difference. If you or a loved one is feeling confused or dizzy, or if he/she is suffering from headaches, nausea, sleepiness, vomiting or weakness, but has no fe-

ver, it may be a case of CO poisoning. Get the victim outside in fresh air and dial 911 immediately.

Carbon monoxide poisons thousands each year, but you can protect yourself and your family by employing the tips above.

Food combos that promote weight loss (and some that pack on pounds) If you’re watching the NBA playoffs, you’re seeing a lot of head fakes from the likes of B-ball All-Stars LeBron James and Stephen Curry. These moves open lanes and get them to the basket. And when Bad Carbs and Proteins fake out your head (and they do), they go right by your brain’s defense and straight to your basket, too, for a slam dunk!

Researchers from Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy have shown that some foods help prevent weight gain, while others make it worse -- even if your calorie count seems to be on the mark! Refined grains, starches and sugars (which have a high glycemic index, meaning they quickly turn into sugar in your body) are associated with the most weight gain. Combine them with high-saturated-fat meats, and you gain even more. For example, eating red meat with white bread (a hamburger and bun) is guaranteed to fake out your head by messing with your brain’s appetite control and calorie-burning centers. The result? You lose the battle of the bulge.

So don’t count calories; they’re not all equal! Stay away from red and processed meats. (If you do eat them, have a BIG load of fresh veggies, too. The researchers say that helps limit weight gain.) And stick with 100 percent whole grains, seafood, skinless chicken and nuts. The study found that they promote weight loss. Remember that a 400-calorie corned beef on rye IS NOT equal to a 400-calorie serving of grilled skinless chicken over quinoa with sauteed spinach. That’s

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

your three-pointer!

TO SALT OR NOT TO SALT, THAT IS THE QUESTION Yogi Berra once confided, “I didn’t really say everything I said.” We’re not sure if he said that before or after he said, “Take it with a grin of salt.” But anyway, that’s what we’re doing when it comes to giving you advice on salt, because there is so much conflicting info out there that you have to, well, you know -- what Yogi said.

The average North American takes in around 3,000-3,500 mg of salt daily. The recommended intake is 2,300 mg (about a teaspoon), unless you have high blood pressure, are over 50, are black or have kidney problems -- then, it’s 1,500 mg.

Our take: Dr. Steven Nissen, the chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, says, “There is no solid evidence to support the current recommendations.”

We say people who have salt-sensitive high blood pressure (less than a third of 1 percent with high blood pressure) are the only ones who clearly should restrict their salt intake. You can tell if you are one of those people if your BP falls by more than 30/20 when you severely restrict salt for a week.

Bottom line? Ask your doc. But if your blood pressure is high, you probably

have other things to talk about.

What we do know: Ingesting 5,000-6,000 mg of salt a day or having a very low salt intake (differs by individual) seem to be associated with heart problems.

Your best bet? Opt for herbs and spices such as garlic, cinnamon, pepper and fresh basil in place of salt or salt substitutes.

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE AND STRENGTHENS THE AGING BRAIN When the West Auckland Old Farts soccer team takes the field, you might assume from their name that they’re not very serious about winning. But you’d be wrong.

The members of that football club in northern Australian have effectively cleared out the cobwebs (they actually trounced the rival Glenfield Cobwebs twice one season) that can come from sitting around and not doing much of anything.

If you want to clear out the cobwebs from your playing field, here’s how: Put yourself in situations where you have to deal with complex, new circumstances (the ever-changing demands of playing soccer certainly qualifies). That’s what researchers from Johns Hopkins discovered when they examined the brains of participants in Baltimore’s Experience Corps -- a program that brings retired people (65 and older) into public schools to serve as mentors

to young children.

The scientists used MRIs to track what happened to the memory centers in the volunteers’ brains. They were surprised that the brain volume of the participants stayed the same or grew (up to 1.6 percent over 24 months). That’s contrary to what happens to the aging brain if it’s not stimulated with changing situations and challenges; it loses from 0.4 percent to 2 percent of its volume annually.

The takeaway? Your enduring brain health is given a real boost when you challenge yourself by learning new things in new situations.

Volunteers (and soccer players) meet different people in different situations every day. (One more tip: Eat six to 12 walnut halves daily. Studies show that regularly eating walnuts can protect you from dementia!)

THE PEN AND JOURNAL ARE MIGHTIER THAN STRESS New Age writer and selfhelp author Natalie Goldberg has said: “Whether you’re keeping a journal or writing as meditation, it’s the same thing. What’s important is you’re having a relationship with your mind.” That relationship can help you let off steam and reduce your stress response. You can complain and rant to your heart’s content; you’re not going to publish your writings! And while that’s good for everyone, it is particularly helpful to caretakers, who often feel isolated and burned out.

That’s what researchers at Clarkson University discovered when they tracked the change in mother-child relationships that hap-

pened when moms with kids who had autism spectrum disorder or ADHD let their frustrations out via journal writing. Safely expressing negative thoughts and feelings made it easier for moms to say, “I have a stressful life” in place of “I am stressed because I am a mother.” And shifting the blame off their child made a big change in the mom-child relationship.

Other folks who can benefit: Anyone going through cancer treatment (or dealing with a chronic disease).

The Cleveland Clinic says journaling is an important alternative treatment that’s “an effective way to handle some of the emotions that living with cancer triggers.”

To get started, spend 10 minutes a day just jotting down what’s in your heart and on your mind. Soon you’ll notice that your response to stressors both large and small is much calmer, and you can even discover ways to turn potentially tense moments into pleasant ones.

HOW A HIGH-FAT DIET KOS YOUR SLIM GENES When Morgan Spurlock went on a fast-food binge for his documentary “Super Size Me,” he not only packed on pounds, he felt increasingly awful. And it wasn’t just because of all that bad food in his gut.

Seems that eating a really high-sat-fat diet actually alters the genes that control your muscle metabolism!

Researchers from the department of Human Nutrition, Food and Exercise at Virginia Tech put 12 healthy college-age guys on a diet for five days with 55 percent of

their calories coming from fat and 18 percent from saturated fat. (Their menu included mac and cheese, ham and cheese sandwiches with mayo and butter, and highfat microwavable dinners.)

That is all it took to alter the genes that influence metabolism, making their muscles unable to efficiently burn the fuel food provides.

Those once-calorie-burning sinews turned into calorie-hugging, weight-adding machines.

So what does this mean?

You can actually make it harder to avoid weight gain and stay healthy, even if you’re eating healthfully a lot of the time, if you indulge in French fries, three-cheese pasta dishes or a super-size deli sandwiches.

If you need special tasty treats, try 100 percent whole-wheat pasta with broiled salmon in a fresh tomato basil sauce; oven-roast some sweet potatoes along with root veggies; or whip up a fruit smoothie with nonfat Greek yogurt. As a rule, stick with 100 percent whole grains, lean proteins and plenty of veggies and fruit. Treating yourself well should leave a great taste in your mouth! *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

For the first time in 50 tries, the Rockets won a playoff game after entering the 4th quarter down 10+ points.

National Digest

Challenge’ matchup AMES — The Iowa State men’s basketball team will face former conference foe Texas A&M as part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge this season.

The game will be in College Station on Saturday, Jan. 30, the date which all 10 Challenge games will take place.

Texas A&M leads the all-time series 10-9, but the Cyclones won the last two prior to Texas A&M’s move to the SEC. Kansas will host Kentucky in the day’s headliner.

Cavs advance CHICAGO (AP) — No dominant performance by LeBron James.

Not much from Kyrie Irving, either.

Somehow, the Cleveland Cavaliers still found a way to advance to the Eastern Conference finals.

James struggled to score 15 points, Irving limped off the court and the Cavaliers still beat the Chicago Bulls 94-73 on Thursday night to clinch their semifinal series in six games.

Matthew Dellavedova scored 19 points and Tristan Thompson added 13 points and 17 rebounds to help the Cavaliers advance to the conference finals for the first time since 2009 even though their superstar played like a mere mortal and their AllStar point guard hobbled to the locker room in the first half.

Rockets rally LOS ANGELES (AP) — Corey Brewer scored 15 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter and the Houston Rockets erased a 19-point, second-half deficit to stun the Los Angeles Clippers 119-107 on Thursday night to force a Game 7 in the Western Conference semifinals.

James Harden, who played less than a minute in the fourth quarter, scored 23 points - making all 11 of his free throws - and Dwight Howard added 20 points and 21 rebounds for the Rockets, who have won two straight games.

Game 7 is Sunday in Houston.

The Clippers were cruising with a 19-point lead in the third quarter, seemingly assured of earning the franchise’s first berth in the conference finals. The Rockets scored nine straight to cut it to 13 heading into the fourth.

Houston hit seven 3-pointers in the fourth and stymied the Clippers offensively. Blake Griffin, who finished with 28 points, didn’t score in the final quarter.

Chris Paul had 31 points and 11 assists for the Clippers and J.J. Redick added 15 points.

Creston girls qualify 7 for state track

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

ATLANTIC — The Creston girls track team qualified a total of seven events to next week’s Co-ed State Track Meet by placing in the top two here Thursday at the Class 3A State Qualifying Meet.

That left only one question on head coach Clay Arnold’s mind.

“Did we do enough to get us in the fast heats that we wanted to be in?” Arnold said. “We’re looking to go up there and we’re looking to break six school records and bring home five medals better than ones we got last year.”

The Panthers finished fourth in the team standings with 107 points, just five points back of Harlan for third.

The stars of the night for Arnold were the Mostek twins — Natalie and Maria.

Natalie qualified in four events, with Maria automatically qualifying for two events, and most l i k e l y earning one of the eight at- M. Mostek large spots in the 1,500 meters.

“It was really the night of the Mosteks,” Arnold said.

“Natalie absolutely brought it in all four events, was lights out. Maria brought it in all three of hers, as well. We’ve been counting on them for three and four

years now, and they definitely didn’t let us down.

They really carried a lot of people tonight.”

The Mosteks started the night by teaming with Lexie Little and Taylor Briley to win the 4x800 relay in

10:00.33.

Arnold said the time was about 6 seconds slower than he had hoped they would run, but hoped it would still be fast enough to make the fast heat.

Natalie Mostek also ran

a 200-meter leg on the second-place distance medley relay team that also included Amber Castillo, Raegen Smith and Briley.

“We didn’t run like we wanted to, but I was very happy with the first two

legs,” Arnold said. “Amber and Natalie were awesome.

Put those other two girls in a good spot, we just couldn’t hold on there.”

The Mosteks ran their race plan to perfection in the 800 meters, sweeping the two automatic qualifying spots as Natalie ran 2:23.45 to win and Maria took second in a PR time of 2:26.67 before the two shared an embrace at the finish line.

“Natalie was to go out and punish that (Denison) freshman on the first lap and wear her down,” Arnold said. “Maria was supposed to bide her time, and with 400 meters left pick up the pieces as they fell down, and that’s exactly how it worked out. I couldn’t be happier for those two.”

Natalie Mostek ran a PR split of 1:01.38 to give the Panthers the lead for good in the 4x400 relay, as Briley held of Harlan standout Asia Kloewer on the anchor leg for the win.

The Panther team of Breanna Wallace, Smith, Natalie Mostek and Briley ran a season’s best 4:12.40.

“If she (Mostek) hadn’t done that, if she hadn’t got that lead and then extended it, then we don’t have a chance, because we know who they’ve got on the anchor,” Arnold said. “We’ve got to run scared so that Asia can’t come get us.”

Maria Mostek finished third in the 1,500 meters, but Arnold felt confident that her time of 5:06.14 would be good enough to earn an atlarge berth.

ATLANTIC — The Creston boys track team left the track here Thursday night knowing it had qualified four events to next week’s Co-ed State Track Meet at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.

A fifth event will have to wait until today to find out if it made the cut as one of the next eight best performances statewide in Class 3A. The top two in each event automatically qualified.

Senior Bryce Briley is on the bubble after finishing fourth in the 400 meter dash with his time of 51.19 seconds. Teammate Jay Wolfe won the event in a season’s best 50.34.

Briley and Wolfe teamed

in the 4x800 relay and both Panther seniors also qualified in the 800 meters.

In the 400 meter dash, after Wolfe came a logjam from second through fourth places.

Denison-Schleswig’s Nhial Biliew earned the second automatic berth, running 51.07. Winterset’s Nick Nelson was third in 51.17 and Briley fourth at 51.19.

Glenwood’s James Fuller, who had the second best time in the state entering Thursday, finished fifth in 53.50, dealing with a foot injury.

“Bryce, Nelson and Biliew all had a nice battle,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “Bryce, you would hope that 51.19 would get you in, but you never know

track. If it’s good enough, great. If not, so be it.”

Wolfe also won the 800 meters in 1:59.26 to earn his qualifying spot. Briley, meanwhile, had his work cut out for him.

Harlan’s Andrew Mumm passed Briley with about 300 meters to go, and Briley had to battle back in the final few steps to nip Mumm at the line in 2:01.11 to 2:01.16 for the automatic qualifying spot.

“This is Bryce’s first time qualifying in an individual event for state,” Schlapia said. “He’s been on the 4x8’s and 4x4’s, but this is the first time he was able to qualify for state as an individual.

Cards win CLEVELAND (AP) — Matt Carpenter’s first three at-bats were miserable, forgettable and completely unproductive.

He more than made up for them with one swing.

Carpenter hit a two-run homer off reliever Marc Rzepczynski in the eighth inning after Cleveland replaced starter Trevor Bauer, rallying the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-1 win over the Indians.

RED OAK — Creston/ O-M’s young boys tennis team grew up on Thursday.

The Panthers won three singles matches, two doubles matches and sent a player (Ryan Kucera) to the Class 1A State Tournament with a stellar district performance here.

By tying Council Bluffs St. Albert for second place with 12 points, the Panthers (by winning the tiebreaker with St. Albert) earned the right to host the Falcons in Class 1A team substate play at 10 a.m. Saturday.

Winner Glenwood, with 14 points, earned a firstround bye and will join the Creston-St. Albert winner in substate semifinals and finals a week later. The other qualifiers will come from the Kuemper Catholic district, which was postponed until today.

Teams competing at Kuemper are Atlantic, Audubon, Ballard, Denison-Schleswig, Harlan, Kuemper Catholic and Saydel.

Kucera paced second behind Red Oak s o p h omore Weston Rolenc in a grueling twohour 6-4, Kucera 6-3 match t h a t ended at about 9:20 p.m.

Kucera’s long day included three other singles victories, including a first-set tiebreaker against Adam Konfrst of Glenwood.

Also, the doubles team of Triston Davidson and Sam Eagan won its first match, and the team of Ja-

cob Cook and Jaden Driskell won its opening match.

“Today was an absolutely amazing day for our tennis program,” coach Kevin Cooper said. “We qualified one individual, and we also qualified our team for postseason play by getting second. It is a great experience for our young team to be successful, so they can learn from it and build on it for the rest of the year and next year. We are very pleased to be hosting St. Albert this Saturday for the team competition.”

Kucera provided a lot of the highlights for the Panthers, starting with a dominating 6-0, 6-0 win over St. Albert’s Cooper Bowman.

He followed with a 6-1, 6-1 victory to reach the semifinals against Glenwood’s Konfrst.

After taking the 7-6 opening set on the strength of a 7-4 tiebreaker, Kucera rolled 6-0 in the second set to get into the finals. The first and second-place finishers in singles play advance to the state tourney May 29-30 at Byrnes Park in Waterloo.

“Today was an absolutely amazing day for Ryan,” Cooper said. “He got the top seed in the singles draw, and won his first three matches, which qualified him for state. He has put in so much work over the past nine months, and deserves everything he has accomplished. He scored six of our 12 points today, which was very instrumental in us qualifying as a team.”

Ram girls win soggy match, 10-0

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

Creston girls soccer coach Kim Lauffer had seen progress in many recent matches, but not Thursday night.

In a steady drizzle at the school’s west soccer field, the Panthers fell behind 4-0 at halftime and allowed the 10th mercy rule goal with just 14 seconds left in the match in a 10-0 loss to Glenwood.

The Panthers were playing without starting forward Shelby Palser, out with a concussion believed to have occurred Saturday, and midfielder Abbie Cook was unavailable most of the match with a hip injury.

That further depleted the Panthers’ diminishing depth, although midfielder Jaiden Stephens was able to return to action Thursday after sitting out with a concussion.

While the loss of Palser from a rejuvenated offensive front that’s included seniors Hanna Luther and Savannah Hartman was significant, Lauffer said there were other problems surfacing against the Rams.

“They’re a good team, but they’re not 10 goals better than us,” Lauffer said.

“Tuesday we played well (1-0 loss to Atlantic). When we won the ball, we did good things with it. Today, I don’t know, it was like we weren’t winning the ball, or not doing those things when we did. This was more like our team in one of the first games of the season, not the team I’ve seen play in the last three or four games.”

Glenwood was coming off a 5-0 loss Tuesday to Hawkeye 10 leader Lewis Central.

SPECIAL EMERGENCY SESSION The Union County Board of Supervisors met in a Special Session on Friday, May 1, 2015. The meeting was called to order at 5:00 PM with the following members present: Dennis Brown, Lois Monday and Ron Riley by speaker phone.

EMA Director, Jo Duckworth, requested an emergency meeting. Ms. Duckworth reported the discovery of an infection of poultry by the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in Madison County. Because of the proximity of Madison County combined with the unknown method of transmission, it was recommended that Union County declare a state of an emergency.

Duckworth felt the Board of Supervisors should be proactive in passing a resolution for the safety of the Union County Residents.

Wallace could also have an outside chance of earning an at-large berth in the high jump, as she finished third with a clearance of 4-10.

Danielle Castillo ran a 2.68-second PR in the 400 meter hurdles for sixth place in 1:16.31. Little finished fifth in 1:12.29.

Senior Monica Powers finished out her career with a PR in the 1,500, running 5:46.

“I let her choose if she wanted to end her career off by PRing in the 15 or the 3,000,” Arnold said. “She

chose the 15, because earlier in the year she PRed in the 3,000. I think it was a 5:54 last year and she ran a 5:46.

Couldn’t be more proud of that.”

BOYS: Continued from page 7A

This is Jay’s fourth straight time qualifying in the 800.”

The 4x800 relay team of Briley, Walsh, McDermott and Wolfe took second to Harlan, running 8:20.68.

Harlan ran a season’s best time of 8:09.28.

It marks the fourth straight year the Panthers have qualified for state in the 4x800 relay.

“We were led by Bryce and Jay. Those two have had a hand in it all four years going to state. The 8:20.68 is our second fastest time of the season. It was nice to see those guys get the running started off right for us.”

Team goals One of the main goals for the Panther team Thursday was to finish the season by scoring a team-high in points, eclipsing the 50 points they scored at last week’s Hawkeye 10 Conference Meet.

The Panthers accomplished that goal by scoring a season-high 56 points for sixth place in the eightteam field.

“We wanted to better our 50 points from last week’s conference meet,” Schlapia said. “We did that, getting sixth with 56 points. This is the first time this season we’ve beaten Winterset and Denison-Schleswig.”

A big part of achieving that goal was having several athletes run season’s bests.

Seth Maitlen ran a season’s best in the 100 meters to place sixth, clocking a 12.18. Cooper McDermott, running just his second 1,600 of the season, ran a season’s best of 4:58.98 for

sixth place.

“Cooper, this is a guy who qualified in the 1,600 last year,” Schlapia said.

“Coming back, different circumstances for Cooper after the broken ankle in basketball, basically being two months behind the other guys.”

The Creston 4x100 relay team of Chris Foster, Cole Higgins, Joe Eblen and Maitlen ran a season’s best time of 49.44 for eighth place.

“Here’s a special group.

They ran a season’s best,” Schlapia said. “You look at that, Cole was running the 1,600 for us through the season. To find a spot for him, we had him in the 4x100.”

The 4x200 and distance medley relay teams both placed sixth for Creston, while the 4x400 relay team took seventh.

Freshman Trey Gift ran a PR in the 3,200 meters for ninth place in 12:47.86.

“We had a good team effort,” Schlapia said. “With having a team-high in points with 56, we asked the boys to leave it out there on the track and in the field, and I feel that they did that. They gave it a good shot. They competed well.”

S e nior Alex Tamerius ran in his final track meet for the Panthers.

“We re- Tamerius ally appreciate what he’s brought to our track team, doing the dual participation and coming off the two knee surgeries in his

career,” Schlapia said. “Really appreciate the example he showed.”

Iowa’s impaired waters list grows 15 percent in 2 years The Iowa Department of Natural Resources plans to report 725 impaired water bodies to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency this summer.

■

DES MOINES (AP) — The number of Iowa lakes, rivers and streams that are impaired due to some level of pollution has climbed 15 percent in two years, according to a new state report, prompting environmental groups to say the state’s efforts to reduce pollution aren’t working.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources plans to report 725 impaired water bodies to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency this summer; the last time a report was filed in 2012, there were 630 impaired waterways. States must compile impaired waters reports every two years under the Clean Water Act. Two of the most frequently cited problems for rivers and streams are bacteria and fish kills, largely the result of manure spills or waste storage leaks from large-scale hog or cattle operations.

For lakes, the most commonly identified impairments are excess algae, too much suspended sediment and bacteria — all of which indicate the presence of human or animal waste.

Algae blooms occur with large concentrations of nitrates and phosphorous from manure on farm fields or leaking septic tanks or indus-

trial and city waste treatment plants.

Iowa’s robust agricultural economy — leading the nation in pork and egg production — presents a challenge dealing with manure generated by more than 20 million hogs and 60 million chickens, although the flock in the last month has shrunk by 40 percent from a deadly strain of bird flu. It’s also tops in corn production, a crop that needs an abundance of nitrogen fertilizer to maximize yields.

Yet, the nutrient can leach into rivers, causing high nitrate levels. It also can leach into lakes, contributing to toxic algae blooms.

G o v .

T e r r y Branstad, A g r i c u l - Branstad ture Secretary Bill Northey and Iowa DNR Director Chuck Gipp have said the state’s voluntary nutrient reduction policy is working and farmers need more time to implement the practices, such as no-till farming, use of grass strips in fields and planting cover crops after harvest to reduce erosion and to help alleviate runoff of fertilizer and manure.

Branstad spokesman Jimmy Centers said the governor’s commitment to water quality is demonstrated by his budget proposal to spend $57 million on it over two years.

Farmers and local organizations have spent $11.8 million in 16 smaller watersheds to reduce nitrate and phosphorous, Iowa Farm Bureau Federation spokeswoman Laurie Johns said.

law enforcement memorial flag from Joe Powers, representing Crest Baptist Church. In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. This week pays special honor to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others. The Iowa Peace Officer Memorial in Des Moines bears the names of two Union County officers who have fallen in the line of duty.
