DES MOINES (AP) — A disaster proclamation has been issued for Clarke County in southern Iowa following severe weather.

Gov. Terry Branstad’s proclamation Wednesday will allow the use of state resources to respond to the effects of a severe storm system that

hit the county on May 17.

A press release from Branstad’s office says the proclamation also activates an assistance program that provides grants of up to $5,000 for certain households.

Grants will be available for home or car repairs, food, clothing and temporary housing.

Iowa’s adjournment rules differ from many other states DES MOINES (AP) — While Iowa lawmakers with much yet to do are struggling to conclude their legislative session, state representatives and senators in many other states have clearer schedules to follow toward adjournment.

Legislative leaders in Iowa’s Republican-led House and Democratic-majority Senate reported to the state Capitol on Wednesday as they keep trying to negotiate a budget deal. Leaders — who are grappling over spending overall as well as education and health care funding — did not indicate that they expected a speedy resolution.

“I would say there is still a significant gap,” said Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, a Democrat from Council Bluffs, who later said Democrats were “close to the end of our ability to tweak.”

Iowa’s rules specify no hard deadline for adjournment. Daily expense payments for lawmakers ended May 1, but the real final date is July 1, when the new budget year starts. With the Senate proposing an overall general fund budget of about $7.34 billion and Please see ADJOURNMENT, Page 2A

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Rep. David Young visited Creston Wednesday to formally open the southwest Iowa’s Creston Constituent Service Office, located at 208 W. Taylor St . in Creston.

The office was used by former Rep. Tom Latham until January, when Young became Iowa’s third district congressman.

“We didn’t change real estate. We kept the same location,” Young said. “It was a good location, and folks were familiar with where this congressional office was

Sen. Tom Shipley were also present at the formal opening, and spoke with the congressman and other visitors in the office.

Young has currently maintained visiting every county in his district once a month, and plans to continue with the campaign.

“I hope that people realize that we’re available to advocate for them in their community,” Young said.

so it worked out well.”

The office opened in February, but Young said he wanted to invite local constituents to visit and learn more about what services are offered.

“It’s primarily used for folks who have issues with the federal government, and they need someone to advocate for them,” Young said. “Your member of Congress should be that person.”

Swollen rivers cause Texas cities to worry about flooding HOUSTON (AP) — While the barrage of deadly thunderstorms that hit Texas has tapered, many cities remain in danger, and officials have warned about the possibility of more flooding from rain-swollen rivers as the week goes on.

In suburban Houston, the rains have pushed the San Jacinto River above flood stage, and its waters were expected to cover streets in subdivisions along the west fork of the river, possibly stranding people in their homes for days if they don’t leave.

In Wharton, about 60 miles southwest of Houston, the mayor asked residents to voluntarily evacuate about 300 homes on the west side of the city due to the predicted rise of the Colorado River.

In the rural Parker County community of Horseshoe Bend, some 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth, officials asked residents of about 250 homes to leave as the Brazos River rose.

By early Thursday, Parker County Emergency Management spokesman Joel Kertok said the Brazos River had almost crested, but officials had no reports of flooded homes and were monitoring the situation.

He said the river, which has a flood level of 21 feet, was at about 23 feet.

Meanwhile, in Central Texas, crews continued searching for nine people feared dead after the swollen Blanco River smashed through Wimberley, a small tourist town between San Antonio and Austin, over

the Memorial Day weekend.

In Houston, residents whose homes were flooded by torrential rains on Monday and Tuesday also continued their cleanup efforts. The storms and floods in Texas and Oklahoma this week have left at least 21 people dead and about a dozen others missing.

While the Houston area got a respite from rainy weather for most of Wednesday, the heavy rains from earlier in the week were still making their way downstream. By late Wednesday, the San Jacinto was at 52 feet, nearly three feet above its flood stage, said Kim Jackson, a spokeswoman for the Harris County Flood Control District.

“We’re advising residents to take any measures that they deem appropriate for their safety as the river continues to rise,” she said.

Joey Shedd, 23, didn’t plan on evacuating his home in the Moonshine Hill neighborhood located along the San Jacinto. Shedd said his home is safe because it stands on stilts, but he expected his parents’ home next door to flood as it is on the ground.

“It hasn’t been this bad since Hurricane Ike (in 2008). This barely makes it to my house,” he said of the all-terrain vehicle he was using to ride across the flooded roadway that leads to his neighborhood in a rural area northeast of Houston. lIn Wharton, the Colorado River is expected to crest at 45.8 feet, which is nearly seven feet above its flood stage,

Creston Middle School received $1,000, and Courtney won a $50 gift card.

Courtney was selected by Walmart associates from community nominations.

A 27-year-old Minnesotan claimed the high honor of being America’s tallest living person. Igor Vovkovinskiy of Rochester, Minn., stands 7 feet, 8.33 inches tall. Verification by officials from the Guinness Book of World Records came during a national telecast of “The Dr. Oz Show.”

Vovkovinskiy traveled to New York City, where Guinness officials made it official on the show’s set.

The Ukraine native moved to Minnesota when he was 7 with his mother, Svetlana, for treatment at the Mayo Clinic for a pituitary disease that spurred his rapid growth. He also has diabetes. Vovkovinskiy, who was attending the Minnesota School of Business, pursuing a degree in paralegal studies, edged out George Bell, a sheriff’s deputy in Norfolk, Va., by one-third of an inch.

Creston Elks Lodge 605 was named Lodge of the Year for 2009-10. In the running were other lodges across Iowa including Charles City, Sioux City and Fairfield. In giving the award, Iowa Elks Association had two main focus areas. The first focus area was fundraising for the National Elks Foundation — a foundation that provides college scholarships among several other worthy causes. The grand exalted ruler, James L. Nichelson, set a benchmark of $4.50 per member.

The Creston Elks Lodge had 416 members and raised just less than $2,000 ($4.80 per member) for the national foundation. The

Without warning, a tornado hit rural Union County May 27. The tornado’s destructive path, approximately eight miles long, began in Douglas Township, Section 17, when the funnel cloud touched down in a field and destroyed buildings in a field owned by Fritz Franklin. It stayed on the ground for nearly an hour, traveling approximately 55 miles north from near Cromwell to near Perry. According to County Sheriff John Coulter, early damage estimate was at $700,000, with the possibility to climb near $1 million once a more detailed inspection was complete. No one was seriously injured.

Long time Creston principal Opal Gordon died at age 71. She was a teacher and principal in the Creston School System for 40 years.

She received her bachelor and masters degrees in education from Drake University.

The top 10 percent of the Creston High School graduating class of 1995 included Amy Berry, Pepper Judd, Abby Jackson, Callie Turner, Kathleen Chandler, Summer Hook, Melissa Wires, Suzanne Cornick, Dena Huisman, Jennifer Craig, Russ Pickerell, Kevin Sharp and Brian Gerleman.

The Iowa Legislature has been meeting annually since 1969 and the per diem rules have been in place since the

late 1970s, with a slight modification a few years later, according to the Legislative Services Agency.

Since 1982, lawmakers have worked into June just once, in 2011, when squabbling over spending and social issues stretched until June 30.

House Republicans seeking to spend $7.17 billion, the difference is not large — but finding compromise has proved elusive.

Most states set some time limits for their legislatures, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. In 39 states, there is some kind of restriction, either a set number of days to meet or a fixed date for adjournment. Some states have those rules set by the constitution, whereas in Iowa, the per diem payment rules function as an indirect enforcement mechanism.

“If it is set by constitution, they cannot change those and they must follow them, or they are violating the constitution. Anything passed after the deadline is subject to a lawsuit,” said Brenda

Erickson, a senior research analyst with the NCSL. She said a system like Iowa’s provides more flexibility, though she noted that “flexibility and procrastination can run hand in hand.”

Some neighboring Midwestern states, like Nebraska, Minnesota and South Dakota, have rules on the length of session written into their constitutions. Of course, there are often techniques to get around such rules, such as ways to stop the clock or returning for a special session.

Republican House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, of Hiawatha, said he wasn’t sold on a different system for Iowa.

“I have never thought we should switch when I have talked to people from those general assemblies,” Paulsen

Patrick Riley Iiams, 21, 701 N. Cedar St., was charged with disorderly conduct and three counts of simple assault 9 a.m. Wednesday at Innovative Industries.

According to a Creston Police report, officers responded to a call from an employee of Innovative Industries, located at 215 N. Walnut St., in reference to an active assault. Several employees observed Iiams assault Randall Walters, spit on Jennifer Danielson, and then attempt to assault Danielson.

OPINION Rain, Rain go away... come again another day!

It seems to be the cycle we are in right now. It rains for a few days, we get a good day or two and then back to the rain machine.

I’ve had several farmers tell me they still have corn to plant. Plus, I get the feeling the soybeans are way behind their planting average for this time of year. By all the water running in the streets, I would say the sump pumps around town are going full bore.

You could start up a good mud volleyball game just about anywhere in the county without any trouble finding mud. I guess it could be worse, we could have all the water Texas is getting. Or you could be like California and looking for water. Don’t worry, it is going to slow down pretty soon and you’ll be wishing for some rain to

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

water your lawn.

Jobs everywhere The monthly unemployment figures are out, and it looks like the number is down across most of the state of Iowa. Only two of the 99 counties had their unemployment go up. As a state on the whole, we are at 3.8 percent. The country as a whole is at 5.4 percent. None of the counties surrounding Union are above 3.9 percent. Some counties like Ringgold, Adams and Taylor are at 2.8 percent, 2.9 percent and 2.9 percent.

We are going to have to start importing people if we want to have folks for all the different jobs that are being advertised. The lowest county in the state is Lyons in the northwest corner at 1.8 percent.

The highest unemployment is in Lee county in the southeast part of the state at 5.7 percent. We are pretty blessed here in Iowa...job wise!

Politics You know the political season is starting up when your mailbox and inbox both sport lots of political mail and the presidential race is still over a year away. Plus, the telephone poll calls are also getting to be annoying already. I would not be surprised to see about a dozen folks run for the Republican ticket while the Democrats look to be fa-

voring Mrs. Clinton. I got an email the other day that Mrs. Clinton is looking for 1,000 youth volunteers to help with her Iowa campaign.

TV The summer shows have started again. My favorite is “America’s Got Talent.” The show has sent a lot of acts to Hollywood and Las Vegas.

My other favorite is “American Ninja Warrior.” It’s just crazy to watch what those people can do.

It is amazing to see the contestants go through the courses they put together.

The Park It looks like it will still be a couple more weeks before the Creston swimming pool is ready to go.

The rain has slowed down. It needs some painting and completion of

some maintenance work.

At the Parks meeting this week, it was approved to add a little color to the park with a new mural going on the basketball court area.

The Creston Area Art group — with help from many local high school artists — have a nice way of brightening up the area. Plus, a new soccer golf course is planned for an area near the baseball fields at Mckinley Park.

It looks like something a lot of soccer players will have fun with. It will start off as a nine “hole” course and maybe turn into 18 if it takes off well. It looks like something that any age group could do.

Thought for the week: “Giving up doesn’t always mean you are weak.

Sometimes it means you are strong enough to let go.” — Unknown

Texas and Oklahoma were declared natural disaster areas HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Time Warner Cable will be sold to Charter Communications this week in a merger of the second and fourth largest cable TV companies. It could clear up all the programming chaos. On Monday night, Texas Rising debuted on the History Channel and the next night it was on the Weather Channel.

Texas and Oklahoma were declared natural disaster areas due to the unrelenting thunderstorms and flooding. The storm really churned up the Gulf of Mexico.

On Monday a sixty-six pound bale of cocaine washed up on the beach at Galveston and Charlie Sheen is now being considered for sainthood.

The Chicago Bears released linebacker Ray McDonald after he was arrested again for spousal

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

abuse. He was arrested twice for spousal battery and once for sexual assault. It’s funny how the same procedure that got Tom Brady in trouble with the NFL could get Ray McDonald reinstated to the NFL. The Hollywood Reporter said the TLC reality series 19 Kids and Counting lost its sponsors after Josh Duggar admitted he molested girls including four of his sisters. This is a groundbreaking series. It’s the first family show in TV history that’s not allowed to film within one hundred yards of any school.

Letter to the editor

Thank you for attending Memorial Day service From Marjorie Kinkade Creston

Thank you to all who came to the early DAR Memorial Day service Monday morning. It was rainy, chilly and very windy, but just about the time the service was over the sun came out and the wind calmed down a bit.

The Veterans Memorial Garden in McKinley Park is a lovely setting for the service. Those who keep the park beautiful all year long are also to be commended.

Each year the VFW men provide

the podium, the sound equipment and most of all them are there to fire the salute and play taps. This is only the first of the three services in Creston where these men give of their time on every Memorial Day. DAR members taking part in the service were Connie Kinkade, Jane Briley, Bonnie Riepe and Lynne Schlaht.

Especially on Memorial Day we remember those brave men and women who gave their lives so that we could enjoy the privileges of living in the United States.

The ANTI-NSA bumper sticker If the National Security Agency’s bulk-data program expires, the coroner should conclude that it was “Death by Bumper Sticker.”

Rarely has a controversial government program been so fiercely debated and so poorly understood.

Authorized by soon-to-expire Section 215 of the Patriot Act, it has been brought to the edge of extinction by a couple of simple but inaccurate phrases, including “listening to your phone calls” and “domestic spying.”

You can listen to orations on the NSA program for hours and be outraged by its violation of our liberties, inspired by the glories of the Fourth Amendment and prepared to mount the barricades to stop the NSA in its tracks -- and still have no idea what the program actually does. That’s what the opponents leave out or distort, since their case against the program becomes so much less compelling upon fleeting contact with reality.

The program involves so-called metadata, information about phone calls, but not the content of the calls -- things like the numbers called, the time of the call, the duration of the call. The phone companies have all this information, which the NSA acquires from them.

What happens next probably won’t shock you, and it shouldn’t.

As Rachel Brand of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board writes, “It is stored in a database that may be searched only by a handful of trained employees, and even they may search it only after a judge has determined that

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

there is evidence connecting a specific phone number to terrorism.”

The charge of domestic spying is redolent of the days when J. Edgar Hoover targeted and harassed Martin Luther King Jr. Not only is there zero evidence of any such abuse, it isn’t even possible based on the NSA database alone. There are no names with the numbers.

As former prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy points out, whitepages. com has more personal identifying information.

The NSA is hardly a rogue agency. Its program is overseen by a special panel of judges, and it has briefed Congress about its program for years.

In the context of all that is known about us by private companies, the NSA is a piker. Take the retailer Target, for example. According to The New York Times, it collects your “demographic information like your age, whether you are married and have kids, which part of town you live in, how long it takes you to drive to the store, your estimated salary, whether you’ve moved recently, what credit cards you carry in your wallet and what Web sites you visit.”

Of course, the Fourth Amendment applies to the government, not private entities like Target.

The amendment protects against unreasonable searches and sei-

zures of our “persons, houses, papers, and effects.” If the NSA were breaking into homes and seizing metadata that people had carefully hidden away from prying eyes, it would be in flagrant violation of the Fourth Amendment. But no one is in possession of his or her own metadata.

Even if the NSA didn’t exist, metadata would be controlled by someone else, the phone companies. The Supreme Court has held that you don’t have an expectation of privacy for such information in the possession of a third party.

One frightening way to look at mail delivery is that agents of the state examine and handle the correspondence of countless of millions of Americans. They aren’t violating anyone’s Fourth Amendment rights, though, because no one expects the outside of their envelopes to be private.

There are legitimate criticisms of the NSA program. It currently hangs on vague phrasing in the Patriot Act. Congress should make it unmistakable that it is authorizing exactly what the NSA is doing. But the program doesn’t deserve the ignominy that has it in such political peril. The House has passed a reform that might render the program unworkable, and the Senate hasn’t yet been able to act.

It is hard to match the power of a bumper sticker.

Nebraska, Iowa schools look to attract monarch butterflies OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska and Iowa students are joining their peers and volunteers around the nation in planting milkweed plants to help attract monarch butterflies.

Around 30 students and 10 adults last week planted the milkweed, which provides the only food for newly emerged butterfly larvae, behind St. Margaret Mary School in Omaha, Nebraska. Another group of students and volunteers also recently planted milkweed at St. Albert School in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

The two schools were among 10 Catholic schools in the Midwest that received grants to start butterfly-friendly gardens from the

National Catholic Education Association, the Omaha World-Herald reported.

The organization’s Monarch Butterfly Rescue Program is aimed at increasing the monarch population and bolstering student interest in science.

“It’s so meaningful for students to get outside the classroom and to be actively doing science and getting their hands dirty and getting that sparkle in their eyes,” said Kate Rezac, a third-grade teacher who is leading the St. Margaret Mary project.

Fourth-grade teacher Sara McColloch who is leading the St. Albert project said establishing their garden has been a community effort. She said students studied monarchs

last fall, when a grandparent who has a butterfly garden brought in monarchs for them to observe and then release.

Gardeners at St. Margaret Mary plan to register with the University of Minnesota’s Monarch Larvae Monitoring Project to become citizen-scientists, collecting data about monarch eggs and larvae.

Volunteers also plan to tag butterflies and submit information to the University of Kansas’ Monarch Watch program, which tracks butterflies that migrate south each fall.

St. Albert is applying to become a certified Monarch Waystation through the Monarch Watch program. It would receive a sign to post information about the project.

National Skillet Throw Championship to be held MACKSBURG — It is time for the 40th National Skillet Throw Championship competition. Round up a five-member team to practice your skill of hitting the target “dummy’s” head.

The competition will start at noon June 20 with sign-in time at 11 a.m. The 2014 champion team “Filthy Five” of lndianola will be present to defend their title.

Modified rules will be announced at sign-in time.

The festival day will start at 10 a.m. with a parade, in which everyone is invited to participate.

Also, there will be a flea market all day, pedal pull, pie auction, and “Games Unlimited” for the children, which includes a duck pond, spin art, sand art and more.

Bring the family and lawn chairs, enjoy the entertainment and root for your favorite team.

Do the bump?

Dear Heloise: Fist bump versus handshake? Due to the spread of GERMS, I find touching distasteful, yet it continues, especially in large social gatherings, and especially at church. It seems to me that the Japanese had it right all along: A slight bow or curtsy would be a much better means of showing respect. And if this doesn’t work, the fist bump is far more hygienic. — A Reader in Cincinnati A handshake is really a form of greeting, or when leaving to signify friendship.

A curtsy is a little out of my ballpark, unless I’m meeting royalty! You can always decline to shake hands by simply saying so. — Heloise HOOK ‘EM Hello, Heloise, from Spokane, Wash.

One Saturday, my husband volunteered to do the laundry.

I told him to hook my bras together so they wouldn’t snag anything else in the load.

He brought me the finished load, and I began folding. When I got to the bras, I pulled one out. To my surprise, that bra was hooked to the next bra, and that one was hooked to the next one to form a circle.

Well, I did tell him to hook them together! Although I

Hints from Heloise meant INDIVIDUALLY, I guess he did what I told him.

We had a good laugh! — Beth C., via email DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL Dear Heloise: I’ve had many pets through the years, and of course they do fall ill, and sometimes gravely so. I have learned when talking to the veterinarian about my pet, I NEVER say, “What would you do if you were in my shoes?”

The vet is just there to give me the facts. Emotionally charged conversations about life and death are just too much. The decision about the care of my dog or cat ultimately is mine to make. — A Reader in San Antonio This is certainly your decision, and many times it’s a hard one to make. That said, I can’t agree with you on this topic. The veterinarian is there to help BOTH you and your pet. Asking for advice is the best thing to do for your pet. You may not be aware

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

of many factors that the vet knows. It’s not an easy or fun discussion, but I rely on the years of experience and vast knowledge these professionals have. Once you have as much information as you want, yes, it’s your decision, of course.

Having had many, many beloved animals through the years, I always try to think in terms of what is best for my pet, not what is best for me.

My pet cannot make the decision. Readers, do you have an opinion? I’d love to hear from you. — Heloise STORAGE SOLUTION Dear Heloise: Short on linen-closet space? Store outof-season quilts and blankets between your mattress and box spring. Fold the blankets carefully, fit on top of the box spring and replace the mat- BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker tress until the weather turns chilly again. — Nancy in Punxsutawney, Pa. Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise@Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. (c)2015 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

Horoscope Friday, May 29, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Mild arguments might occur with partners and close friends today because something unexpected is in the wind.

Perhaps someone wants more independence or freedom?

This person might be you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your work routine will be interrupted today because of computer crashes, power outages, fire drills, canceled meetings, staff shortages, something. Allow extra time to cope with this.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an accident-prone day for your kids, so be vigilant. Know where they are at all times, and remove them from hazardous situations.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A mild argument might break out at home or within your family. Alternatively, small appliances might break down, or minor breakages could occur. Something will interrupt your home routine.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a mildly accident-prone day for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do.

Think before you speak and act.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your finances are unpredictable today. This means you might find money, or you might lose money. To be safe, guard your possessions against loss or theft.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, at odds with unpredictable Uranus. This can make you obsessed with something unusual. For sure, you will feel restless and possibly irritable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You feel restless today.

This could be due to feeling excited about something, or it could be because you are mildly irritated. Discussions about shared property and debt loom big now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A friend will surprise you or catch you off guard today in some way. Or perhaps, you will meet someone new who is a real character — off the wall and bizarre.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Someone in authority might upset you today. Don’t quit your day job; this is just a temporary dark cloud on your

horizon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans will be interrupted, changed or canceled today. Similarly, plans related to higher education, medicine and the law will go sideways.

Be prepared.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Double-check your bank account and anything having to do with inheritances, insurance matters and shared property, because something unexpected might occur. Make sure you are on top of your game.

YOU BORN TODAY You are clever and versatile and entertaining. You are also protective of loved ones and committed to your ideals. You never shrink from a challenge, and you know how to get the best out of others. Settle your debts this year in order to 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. (c) 2015 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

The Numbers Game

40

Years between NBA Finals appearances for the Golden State Warriors.

National Digest

Warriors advance OAKLAND, Calif.

(AP) — After a generation of wishing and waiting, the Golden State Warriors have finally arrived on basketball’s biggest stage again.

Stephen Curry had 26 points and eight rebounds, Harrison Barnes added 24 points and the Warriors advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time in 40 years with a 104-90 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.

“Why not us?” Curry said to a roaring, golden-yellow shirt wearing crowd after the Warriors received the Western Conference trophy from Alvin Attles, the coach of their last championship team in 1975.

“The Bay Area’s been waiting for 40 years,” Curry said later. “I think it’s time.”

The Warriors shook off a slow start and sweated out a shaky finish in Game 5 to close out the Rockets and set up a matchup with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers beginning June 4.

It was hardly the prettiest performance - but one they’ll savor nonetheless.

Yellow streams and confetti fell from the rafters when the final buzzer sounded.

The Warriors shared hugs and handshakes, and the crowd chanted “M-V-P!” for Curry.

He relished the moment on the court with his 2-year-old daughter, Riley, who joined him in his postgame news conference - laughing, playfully interrupting him and walking around the room again.

“I think she’s taking advantage of the moment for sure,” Curry quipped.

Dwight Howard led Houston with 18 points and 16 rebounds. But MVP runner-up James Harden had a forgettable finale, with a playoff-record 13 turnovers and 14 points on 2-of-11 shooting.

“Tried to do a little bit too much and turned the ball over and gave them easy baskets in transition,” Harden said. “This isn’t where we wanted to end at. It’s a really good season for us. Next year we want to be better, and we will.”

Hulett tosses two-hit shutout in 1-0 Panther victory

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

INDIANOLA — A high school baseball fan would be hard-pressed to find a more crisp performance in the season opener than Creston’s 1-0 triumph over Indianola here Wednesday night.

Sophomore Kadon Hulett tossed a two-hit shutout to win a fast-paced duel with Indianola junior Jalen Hunter, who allowed only one hit, in the opener for both teams after Monday’s rainouts.

The game was completed in 1 hour, 23 minutes.

But the lone Panther hit was a costly one for Hunter and the Indians in the top of the fifth inning. Panther first baseman Cody Crawford reached safely on a wide throw by the Indians’ shortstop, and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by third baseman Brody Frain.

Right fielder Dustin Merritt then lined a double to the left-center gap to drive in Crawford for the Merritt game’s only tally.

“We didn’t do much offensively tonight, but we did have some timely execution there in the fifth,” Panther coach Steve Birchard said.

“Crawford hustled down the line and was safe, we moved him over and we got a timely hit by Merritt. He’s a good hitter.”

The Panthers had some key defensive plays throughout the night to preserve the

shutout, but perhaps none more important than in the bottom of the fifth when the Indians threatened to tie it or go ahead with two runners in scoring position on a hit by pitch and throwing error by Hulett on a bunt.

Second baseman Brenden McDowell then recorded all three outs of the inning, starting with a pop fly catch.

Then he went to his right to snare a soft liner, and tagged second base to double up the runner and retire the side.

Early in the game, catcher Jaden Driskell discouraged Indianola’s running game by throwing out a steal attempt to McDowell at second. In the Indianola sixth inning, left fielder Dalton O’Riley ran back on a hard-hit ball for the flyout just before Hunter drew a walk. A balk put the runner on second, but the inning ended on a popup to Crawford in foul territory near first base.

In the seventh, Hulett recorded his eighth and ninth strikeouts of the night in addition to catching a popup near the mound. The big righthander walked two and hit two batters.

“The defense got me out of some tough jams,” Hulett said. “I was throwing mainly the fastball and slider. My slider stays down and away a little better than the curve.

It was pretty fun pitching against Jalen. I heard on the way up he was pitching against us. He throws pretty hard, I remember that from CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON Creston sophomore Kadon Hulett pitches during the Panthers’ 1-0 victory at Indianola little kids baseball.”

Another arrest SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — NFL lineman Ray McDonald has been arrested for the second time this week.

The Santa Clara Police Department said the former San Francisco 49ers defensive end was arrested Wednesday for violating a restraining order by being at a residence in Santa Clara.

The restraining order was issued after a domestic violence incident Monday in Santa Clara in which the 6-foot-3, 290-pound McDonald allegedly broke down a bedroom door to get to his former fiancee and their infant.

Connections, consistency keys for inductee Bill Krejci

By MATT MEYER The Daily Sentinel

Editor’s note: The following article appeared in Friday’s edition of The Daily Sentinel in Grand Junction Colo., in conjunction with the NJCAA Hall of Fame induction of former SWCC baseball coach and athletic director Bill Krejci.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Bill Krejci’s record during his 22 years at Southwestern (Iowa) Community College in Iowa isn’t eye-popping.

“We won a few more games than we lost,” Krejci said. “But it’s pretty close to .500.”

There are many coaches who build resumes with staggering win totals.

Krejci isn’t that guy.

He says his resume isn’t that great, although that’s certainly up for debate, and he’s “just doing what feels right.”

But Krejci’s impact spreads well beyond the number of games won or the talent of the young men he’s coached. Krejci is a teacher, a mentor and a leader. He inspires and understands.

That’s what makes his induction into the NJCAA Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame such an honor. Krejci, in order to honor his former players and colleagues, respects the honors he receives.

“It’s humbling,” he said.

“I’ve worked with so many amazing administrators, staff members and players that getting this award is an honor that I take very

seriously. It’s probably the biggest honor of my life, to tell you the truth.”

That’s how Krejci operates. He connects w i t h players and colleagues.

He looks for ways to moti- Krejci vate and empathize.

Matt Thompson, a former player and assistant coach at SWCC, felt Krejci’s impact immediately.

Thompson came to SWCC in 1992, tagging along with a high school teammate who was being recruited by Krejci.

An injury kept Thompson, now 42, away from school for a year. Still, Thompson said Krejci’s personality is dynamic.

“I was just looking for a place to play, so how I got there isn’t really a sexy story,” Thompson said.

“But it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I can say, without a doubt, that he changed my life. I knew after one season that I was going to be a coach, and that was all because of him, even in a short timespan.”

Krejci specialized in doing a lot with players in a short time. It’s one of the main reasons he stuck with the wild world of junior college baseball, where coaches often serve multiple roles in the program and at the college.

Outdoor news Free fishing

Labor Day

Iowa residents may fish without a license on June 5, 6 and 7 as part of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ free fishing weekend.

Free fishing weekend is the first weekend in June each year. It allows Iowans an opportunity to try fishing without purchasing a license.

All other regulations remain in place.

Fishing is an activity that can be done during any stage in life and is a great way to spend time together as a family. “We want people to fish because it is a good, wholesome activity,” said Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa DNR’s Fisheries Bureau.

DNR staff will be at popular fishing spots across the state to help beginner anglers get started. They will assist with setting up fishing poles and distribute small kits with basic terminal tackle for panfishing along with tips and a few fun items.

“If someone needs a little instruction, there are fun, hands-on fishing clinics available to teach parents or kids the basics of fishing,” said Larscheid.

A list of fishing clinics, derbies, and other fun events co-sponsored by the DNR are available on the special events page.

Log on to www.iowadnr. gov then click on Special Events Application System under the Event Calendar and Search for Events.

Anyone catching their first fish is encouraged to take a photo of it and send it in to receive the DNR’s first fish award. The DNR will commemorate the event with a certificate suitable for framing and the submitted photo.

Information on the first fish program is available in the Iowa Fishing Regulations and online at http:// www.iowadnr.gov/Fishing/ MasterAnglerFirstFish.aspx.

DES MOINES – Just as one holiday ends, it is time to think about another.

Campers hoping to reserve spots for the 2015 Labor Day weekend need to mark June 4 on their calendars, when reservations for a Friday arrival open.

“Even by June 4 some sites will already be reserved by campers arriving prior to the holiday weekend,” says Sherry Arntzen with the DNR Parks Bureau. “And electric sites always go quickly.”

For more information on Iowa’s state parks and to make a reservation, visit www.iowadnr.gov/parks

Woodlands threat DES MOINES – Governor Terry Branstad proclaimed June as Invasive Species Awareness Month as a way to draw attention to the threat Iowa’s woodlands, wildlands and waterways are under from unwanted pests.

Each year in Iowa, millions of dollars, both public and private, are spent to control invasive plants, insects, animals and diseases.

Invasive species threaten Iowa’s lands and waters by competing with and destroying native plants and animals and by disrupting complex natural ecosystems.

Emerald ash borer, zebra mussels, oriental bittersweet, Eurasian watermilfoil, and bighead and silver carp make the news as they increase their presence in the state.

“Awareness of invasive species is an important first step towards behavior change which can prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species in Iowa,” read the proclamation.

“Invasive Species Awareness Month is an opportunity for government to join forces with business, industry, conservation groups, recreation groups, community organization and cities to take action against the introduction

21

and spread of invasive species.”

For more information on Iowa’s invasive species and what you can do to help, visit the www.iowadnr.gov and visit the fisheries and forestry web pages.

Multiple bids It was the first ticket that Dave Tierney can remember writing in his 24 plus years as a game warden for buying timber without being bonded.

That’s not to say that it’s a rare case – foresters and game wardens hear about it all the time – it’s just the first time a victim retained enough evidence that Tierney could issue a citation.

Justin Kay, 34, of Ponca, Neb., allegedly purchased walnut trees on Jan. 2 and Feb. 17, from an individual without being bonded. He was cited May 4 for buying timber without being bonded, which is a serious misdemeanor. Kay’s court date is June 10 in Harrison County.

Kay has since become bonded.

Tierney and district forester Lindsey Barney hear horror stories from landowners taken by unscrupulous timber buyers who approach them at home catching them off guard, give them an offer well below market value, remove only the high value trees and often leave the property in a mess.

“I hear these stories often and want to educate log buyers and landowners about this issue,” Barney said. “The landowners may think the unsolicited offer is a good deal, but to get a better idea of fair market value, we encourage them to get at least three bids from bonded timber buyers.”

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has a list of bonded timber buyers online at http://www.iowadnr. gov/Environment/Forestry/WoodIndustryLogging/ BondedTimberBuyers.aspx.

KREJCI: Continued from Page 8A

Krejci the opportunity to work with players who were deemed not talented enough to play for a fouryear school, or didn’t have the grades.

Krejci took the edge those players have, the hunger, and molded them into men.

“These guys are hungry,” Krejci said. “It’s different at a four-year school. I went to a four-year school. I get it.

You know you’re going to play there for four years and get a degree.

“These are guys who, for CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON whatever reason, maybe Indianola junior Jalen Hunter, formerly of Creston, pitches against Creston during grades or whatever, were Wednesday’s season opener. Hunter had nine strikeouts and allowed only one hit in cast off.” suffering the 1-0 loss.

To Krejci, that’s what makes coaching junior college baseball so rewarding.

You get players for a short window, then watch them grow. Krejci calls it “propaContinued from Page 8A gating the faith” of baseball,

PANTHERS: a good job of throwing strikes and he’s a competitor,” said Indianola coach Casey Aldridge. “He’s a good athlete.”

“He did a nice job,” Birchard added. “He’s got a nice little curveball and decent velocity. We’d love to have him!”

Hulett had as many walks as strikeouts a year ago, and his longest stint was five innings against Clarinda. He was more efficient Wednesday.

“Honestly, before opening day, I maybe had one bad bullpen (session), and that was way early in practice,” Hulett said. “I think a big part of that is (weekend) spring baseball. We got our arms strong enough. I’ve been trying to focus on not trying to throw so hard, and placing it better.”

He left an impression on Aldridge. Mike Wadle and Ross Adamson were the only Indians to hit safely.

“Their guy was throwing well,” the Indianola coach said. “We obviously struggled with him. Our hitting was pretty disappointing tonight.”

Driskell figures to get the mound assignment in to-

using his enthusiasm and love of the game to inspire young men.

That hit Thompson early in his playing career, when he returned to SWCC, and when he briefly coached SWCC after Krejci’s retirement in 1999.

Thompson now coaches the Texas Sun Devils, a National Select program in Beaumont, Texas.

“The message coming from Bill is consistent,” Thompson said. “Everybody comes from a different background, and different things motivate them. He’d find different ways to connect with guys, but the message was consistent.

“He’d sing during batting practice. He’s a big Notre Dame fan, so he’d sing their fight song sometimes. We’d take batting practice in the rain just because. He isn’t a yeller or a screamer. He is

a guy people gravitate towards and a mentor.”

His ability to connect and teach has opened doors.

Since 1996, Krejci has coached with USA Baseball. He’s coached national teams that featured players such as J.J. Hardy, Joe Mauer, Bryce Harper and Manny Machado.

He was also inducted into the SWCC Hall of Fame as a coach and athletic director, a post he held for 15 years.

Krejci said the key to his success is understanding players. “(The players) have to know you really care about them,” Krejci said. “They have to know you love them and you’re about them. The minute they think you’re not about them, that you’re about winning or building a resume or even about the team, you can lose them.”

Putin accuses US of meddling into FIFA affairs

Creston left fielder Dalton O’Riley concentrates on making a catch in the third inning of Creston’s 1-0 victory at Indianola Wednesday.

night’s home opener for the Panthers against Nodaway Valley, with Crawford and Frain both available as well in the final game of the week. Chase Shiltz is sidelined from a severe low ankle sprain from soccer on Tuesday, and is doubtful for the soccer substate semifinal match tonight at Glenwood.

The Panther JV fell to 0-2 Wednesday in a 15-0 loss in five innings. Walks again hampered the Panthers, as Indianola scored 15 runs on four hits, eight walks, three

hit batters and three errors.

Deaven Reese and Mason Kinsella had hits for Creston. O’Riley and Bryce Fitzgerald pitched before Kylan Smallwood got the final out with no walks or strikeouts.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the United States of meddling in FIFA’s affairs and hinted that it was part of an attempt to take the 2018 World Cup away from his country.

Putin said in televised comments Thursday that he found it “odd” that the probe was launched at the request of U.S. officials for crimes which do not involve its citizens and did not happen in the United States.

Corruption charges in the U.S. were announced Wednesday against 14 people, with at least two of them holding American citizenship, and linking them to banks in the United States.

Seven of the 14 were arrested Wednesday morning in Zurich ahead of a FIFA

meeting and Friday’s presidential election in which Sepp Blatter is expected to win a fifth term.

In a separate probe, Swiss prosecutors opened criminal proceedings into FIFA’s awarding of the 2018 World Cup to Russia and the 2022 tournament to Qatar.

Putin said even if “someone has done something wrong,” Russia “has nothing to do with it.” He then tried to portray the probe as a U.S. attempt to go after dissenters, likening the case to the persecution of whistleblow-

ers Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.

“Our American counterparts, unfortunately, are using the same methods to reach their goals and illegally persecute people. I don’t rule out that this is the case in relation to FIFA,” Putin said. “I have no doubt that this is yet another evident attempt to derail Mr. Blatter’s re-election as FIFA president. We are aware of the pressure that he was subjected to in relation to Russia holding the 2018 World Cup.”

Long inducted into East Union’s Wall of Fame The late Ronald D. Long, a 1950 graduate of Arispe High School and former Air Force pilot, is the 22nd person to be recognized in this fashion.

■

AFTON — East Union Community School has announced the late Ronald D. Long is its 2015 inductee into the school’s Wall of Fame. Long is the 22nd person to be recognized in this fashion since the program was established during the 2002-03 school year. His selection was announced

by Dr. Pamela Vogel, East Union superintendent, at the East Union commencement ceremony May 17.

Ronald D. Long graduated from Arispe High School in 1950. He attended Tarkio College in Missouri, until enlisting in the U.S. Air Force in January 1952.

He went through the cadet flying program, received his wings, and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant on May 1, 1953.

On Aug.10, 1953, Long became a member of the Mach Busters Club by exceeding the speed of sound in an Air Force F-89 sabre jet. The next month he

was assigned to a Fighter Squadron at Scott AFB in Illinois.

In December of 1953, Long married Carol Ann Immel of Adair. Over the years, two daughters, Terri and Sheryl, were born to that marriage.

Long survived an airplane accident at Scott on June 24, 1954. The T-33 he was flying lost power on take-off and crashed at the end of the runway, bursting into flames. He suffered severe burns and spent the next two months in the base hospital, but he returned to flying in September.

In 1956, Long was released from active duty and joined an Air Force Reserve unit in Des Moines.

As a civilian, he began work first as a company pilot and field geologist for a rock products company in Greenfield, and then moved to Creston to work for an insurance company.

Long transferred from the

Reserves to the Iowa Air National Guard’s 124th Fighter Squadron and began flying the T-33 again.

The family moved to Norwalk to be near the Guard headquarters at the Des Moines airport.

From June 1965 to February 1987, Long was a full-time flying instructor-technician with the Air National Guard. During these years, he had many deployments and several tours of duty. In preparation for these, he attended many schools; among them were Nuclear Safety School, University of California Safety Course, Squadron Officers Course, and the Air Force Command and Staff College.

Some of the positions he held were Operations Officer, Squadron Commander and Director of Wing Safety. As a Command Pilot he accumulated 6,800 hours of flying time on 16 types of military aircraft.

Long made many foreign country trips to Canada, Spain, Germany, Panama, England and Turkey. One of the more interesting was in 1972, in an exercise call

“Cornet East.” He was one of three Des Moines Guard pilots to fly F-100’s from storage in Tucson, Ariz., to Eskisehir, Turkey, to be delivered to the Turkish Air Force. The flight took 12.6 hours flying time, with 12 refuelings en route. In another, in 1979, Long was deployed to Waddington Royal Air Force Base near Lincolnshire, England, where they took 18 A-7D aircraft and 350 Guardsmen in an exercise to demonstrate the unit’s ability to support the U.S. Air Force in Europe.

Long served as president of the Iowa National Guard Officers Association in 1983-84. He retired from the Air National Guard in 1987, as a Lieutenant Colonel after 35 years in the Air Force, Air Force Reserve and Iowa Air National Guard.

Long was a member of the Silver Squadron and American Legion. He was also a member of the Peace Lutheran Church in Des Moines, where he served as director and as an elder.

Long died suddenly on May 17, 2013.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

3

SPEED FREAKS

3 questions we had to ask — ourselves Will this kick-start Carl Edwards into title contention?

THINGS WE LEARNED AT CHARLOTTE Associated Press/JOHN RAOUX

Will Mark Martin finally climb into the Hall of Fame next year?

Gotta ask, is 600 miles too much?

ROB’S RAMBLINGS: Title contention, no.

But wasn’t it kind of cool to see that back flip again?

KEN’S CALL: Fuelmileage victories don’t kick-start anything, except debates on the worthiness of fuelmileage wins.

Almost was for Denny Hamlin, who drove the last 100 miles feeling like he was gonna puke. As we ponder what that’d be like if you were wearing a full-faced racing helmet ... Ugh ... where were we? Let’s move on.

Shorter races?

This week they’re at Dover, where races were shortened from 500 to 400 miles in the late-’90s. Even Pocono was eventually convinced to lop off 100 miles. The coming years will likely see plenty of changes, including race lengths. At some places, less will be more.

Who’ll be next firsttime winner?

ROB’S RAMBLINGS: Truex is the obvious answer with 11 top-10s in 12 races, but rooting for Jeff.

KEN’S CALL: It’s gotta be Martin Truex, right?

Eventually, right?

Right?

Too early to handicap next HOF?

Associated Press/GERRY BROOME

Will Jeff Gordon be a good broadcaster?

Carl Edwards does a back flip from his car after winning the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. How much longer until we see that back flip again?

ROB’S RAMBLINGS: In reference to my last answer, my heart — and ears — do not want Jeff here. Maybe just make a guest appearance every now and then.

KEN’S CALL: He’s excellent at explaining the nuances of being a racer, but he’s too nice to ruffle feathers, and we can use some of that in the booth.

news-journalonline. com/nascar facebook.com/ nascardaytona

2. Hamlin’s headache

3. Daddy Kyle is back

Carl Edwards snapped a 31race winless streak, even if it was a fuel-mileage victory.

But he still has it when it comes to his signature back flip. Maybe this win could be what jump-starts Edwards, who has struggled this season with just one top-10 and an average finish of 18.8.

No matter how intense Denny Hamlin’s migraine was Sunday, he leaves Charlotte loving the track and his car setup. After winning the All-Star Race on May 16, he nearly pulled off another win at the track. If not for a vibration in a wheel that forced him into the pits late, he had a legitimate shot at the double.

There was some question about Kyle Busch’s ability to handle a 600-mile race after a long layoff stemming from a crash in the season-opening Xfinity race at Daytona. The new father — his son was born May 18 — answered with an 11th-place finish in his first points race since returning.

44 percent? Shouldn’t Hall standard be higher?

Yes, two new Hall of Famers (Jerry Cook, Bobby Isaac) received less than 50 percent of the vote, yet they’re Hall of Famers. Yes, standards should be higher. But remember, the Hall is a business. Put more people in, potentially draw more paying customers.

THINGS TO WATCH FOR AT DOVER

JEFF GORDON

Brad Keselowski may have this race circled on his calendar after finishing second twice here last season and winning one pole. With one win and eight top-10s in 12 races this season, don’t be surprised with another strong Dover run.

LARRY MCREYNOLDS

JEFF GORDON VS. LARRY MCREYNOLDS: Gordon gets Larry Mac’s seat in the Fox booth next year, while Larry heads to pit-side studio.

Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon put Chevy in Victory Lane here last season. Chevy put five cars in the top 10 in the first race and five in the top eight in the second.

CNA photo by JAKE WADDINGHAM

Rick Santorum announces second White House run CABOT, Pa. (AP) — Conservative culture warrior Rick Santorum launched a 2016 W h i t e H o u s e bid on Wednesday, vowing to fight for worki n g - c l a s s Santorum Americans in a new election season that will test his influence — and focus on social issues — in a changing Republican Party.

The former Pennsylvania senator may have exceeded his own expectations by scoring a second-place finish in the race for the Republican presidential nomination four years ago. Yet as he enters a more powerful and diverse 2016 field, he may struggle even to qualify for the debate stage in his second run.

“I am proud to stand here, among you and for you, the American workers who have sacrificed so much, to announce that I am running for president of the United States,” the 57-year-old senator said, flanked by factory

workers and six of his seven children in a cinderblock warehouse near his western Pennsylvania hometown.

“The last race, we changed the debate. This race, with your help and God’s grace, we can change this nation.”

Santorum opens this political season as a heavy underdog in a race expected to feature more than a dozen high-profile Republicans — most of them newcomers to presidential politics. He is among the nation’s most prominent social conservatives, having dedicated much of his political career to opposing same-sex marriage and abortion rights, while advocating for conservative Christian family values.

He mentioned cultural issues briefly Wednesday in remarks designed to broaden his appeal to working-class Americans. “As president, I will stand for the principle that every life matters — the poor, the disabled and the unborn,” said Santorum, a Catholic.

He ultimately won 11 states in the GOP’s 2012 primary election after an unexpected and narrow victory in the opening contest in Iowa,

where he emerged as a conservative favorite after touring the state’s 99 counties in a pickup truck.

His road to relevancy this time won’t be easy.

“It’s going to be much more competitive,” said Foster Friess, a prominent donor who was standing near the podium during Wednesday’s announcement.

Santorum has acknowledged his challenges in 2016, but says his experience could pay dividends the second time around. Most of the GOP’s recent presidential nominees, Mitt Romney and President Ronald Reagan among them, needed more than one campaign to win the nomination.

He faces considerable competition for his party’s social conservatives in particular. The list of Republicans already courting religious voters includes former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Baptist pastor who won the Iowa caucuses in 2008, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. And like Santorum, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is a Catholic.
