Creston’s Citywide Garage Sale Saturday

By SARAH BROWN

CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews.com

Creston’s Citywide Garage Sale Saturday will feature more than 30 garage sale sites.

This event is in its ninth year sponsored by Creston Chamber of Commerce.

What will you find?

“Just about anything that you would want (is what you will find),” said Ellen Gerharz, executive director, Creston Cham-

ber of Commerce.

“It just amazed me what people buy.”

In years past, garage sale goers could find Gerharz anything from clothing, shoes, baby gear, kitchen wares, small appliances, electronics, books, tools and toys.

“Creston is known to have

some good quality items,” Gerharz said.

Gerharz said the citywide garage sale is also good for local businesses and by advertising, increases the number of out of town “garage salers.”

“In past years the restaurants have done booming business during garage sale days,” Gerharz said. “Now they are prepared.”

Garage sale sites will be posted in the Creston News Advertiser Wednesday through Friday.

Local woman ‘gets where she’s heading’ with GAP assistance This is the second of a two-part series on GAP and PACE funding and students at SWCC.

GAP/PACE FUNDING AT SOUTHWESTERN

arah Jane Biddenback has a job as a certified nurse’s assistant at Prairie View Assisted Living, but not too long ago, she had little to no idea when she would have a steady job and how quick the process was to get her there.

So, Biddenback of Creston, formerly of Bedford, went to Southwestern Community College (SWCC) Pathway Navigator Kelsey Hollen for more information.

First time around Biddenback, 27, went to SWCC in 2007 to earn a degree and certification to be a nurse.

“I was going for my AA (associate’s degree), and then I was going to go for my RN (registered nurse certification),” Biddenback said.

Biddenback, a 2007 Bedford High School graduate, found out she had ADD (attention deficit disorder), which made it difficult for her to manage college and work schedules. In October 2013, Biddenback lost her job at her then-employer, and turned to Iowa Works.

“I was turned onto the GAP program through Iowa Works (Iowa Workforce Development),” Biddenback said. “I’d tried getting into the CNA (certified nursing aide) program back when I was 16 to 18, I had my very first job through Bedford Nursing and Rehab, and wasn’t eligible for it. Got into college (in 2014), and the CNA program was up. Sweet. Timing is everything.”

GAP Biddenback was one of many students who received help from GAP funding at SWCC. GAP funding is a tuition assistance program put into place so community colleges can give needpassed tuition assistance to applicants to complete continuing education certificate training programs, such as Biddenback’s choice of career, CNA. “It has been memorable and awesome, and people I meet, I explain, I brag about the GAP program and Kelsey every single time I get a chance,” Biddenback said. “Because it helps everything, from paying for CNA classes and other courses people need to maintain employment to

making sure you look your best for the potential interviews, and flexibility of their schedule is awesome.”

Biddenback also received assistance through PACE. PACE, which stands for pathways for academic career and employment, is a funding program established for community colleges to allow eligible participants to acquire academic and employment training to secure quality instate employment.

Biddenback’s PACE funds helped her attend a resume-writing course, as well as helped her learn what to expect at employment interviews.

Southwestern Community College received funding from the state of Iowa October 2013 to use toward GAP and PACE, which are assistance programs.

“A lot of the people I work with are unemployed, dislocated workers, single moms, you know, all sorts of people,” said Kelsey Hollen, SWCC pathway navigator.

Hollen has received 75 applicants since starting in October.

“A lot of the shortterm trainings are ideal for those who want to get a quick training, that you’re going to get a certification or some kind of credential from where you’re going to be able to find a job,” Hollen said.

GAP GAP is a tuition assistance program. According to Iowa code language, the program is designed to help applicants complete continuing education certificate training programs. These certifications are for indemand jobs, such as welding, electrical maintenance and paramedic.

“GAP tuition assistance is money that we’ve received from the legislature, so it’s state money that is going toward short-term certificate trainings that can lead to employment,” Hollen said.

The program takes into account the applicant’s income, family size and county of residence.

Costs included in funding an applicant include tuition, direct training costs, required books and equipment, fees for industry testing services and background checks and costs of providing direct staff support services for marketing, application, interview and assessment processes.

IOWA CITY (MCT) — Iowa’s law banning texting while driving is failing to reduce crashes, and officers seldom enforce it because of legal restrictions, an IowaWatch investigation shows.

Although texting-related crashes have increased in recent years, Iowa convicted on average only 2.5 drivers per county for texting last year, the investigation revealed.

Iowa Department of Transportation crash reports show the anti-texting law enacted in July 2011 has done nothing to decrease cell-phone related crashes. Instead, they have increased steadily.

The problem is worse than statistics show because distracted driving often is not reported after a crash.

In its investigation, IowaWatch examined state laws, traffic reports, studies and crash data for Iowa and other states and interviewed visual attention specialists, traffic safety officials, experts, statisticians, legislators and law officers.

“Texting while driving has become ubiquitous,” said Mark Lowe, director of the Iowa DOT’s Motor Vehicle Division.

Data for 2013 remain preliminary, but already show the highest number of phone-related crashes since 2009.

While some states have strictly banned all hand-held phone use, Iowa legislators have debated but failed to pass a law making texting behind the wheel a primary offense, for which an officer needs no other reason to pull you over.

Iowa’s law classifies the act as a secondary offense. That means officers can’t stop a driver without some other violation, even if spotted texting.

“It’s like dipping your toe in the water instead of throwing everybody in the pool,” state Sen. Tod Bowman, D-Maquoketa, said.

Bowman, chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, voted to increase texting enforcement and was disappointed when the House didn’t take it up.

Almost all states ban texting while driving. But only four do not enforce it as a primary offense -- Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio and Florida.

Iowa law prohibits the use of an electronic device to send, receive or read a text message or email while driving. The charge is a simple misdemeanor with a $30 fine.

The law does not apply to operating a GPS or

Deaths Mark S. Cottrell Corning

Mark S. Cottrell, 59, of Corning died June 8, 2014, at Greater Regional Hospice Home in Creston.

T h e Cottrell family is in charge of memorial services to be held Saturday, June 21, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints with the time to be determined. No public viewing or visitation is planned. Memorials may be directed to HCI Care Services. Online condolences may be left at www.pearsonfuneralhomes.com.

Mark Scott Cottrell, son of Charlotte Mae (Bennett) and Wilbert Edward Cottrell, was born June 28, 1954, in Woodbury, N.J. Mark was raised in New Jersey and Maryland and graduated from high school in Aberdeen, Md., in 1973.

After graduation, Mark worked several years for the V.A. Hospital in Maryland.

He later began driving a truck all across the country, selling woodworking tools.

Mark trained to become

a pastry chef and worked mostly in Montana and Oregon. While living in Oregon, he taught prison inmates apprentice skills to become bakers.

On June 24, 1995, Mark married Elaine Dedrick in Hermiston, Ore. The family settled in Corning, Iowa, in 2001.

Mark was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Lenox.

Mark is survived by his wife Elaine Cottrell of Corning; stepdaughters, Sabrina Wright of Creston, Melisa Schroeder of Gig Harbour, Wash., and Vanessa Schroeder (fiancé Jason Arnold) of Chinook, Wash.; 10 step-grandchildren; mother Charlotte Cottrell of Spring, Texas; mother-in-law Ida Cook of Creston; brothers, Dean (Kim) Cottrell of Churchville, Md., and Clinton (Kathy) Cottrell of Bel Air, Md.; sisters, Jan (Brian) Child of Gilbert, Ariz., Leesa Maresh of Corning, Lorry (Rob) Thorburn of Lake Elsinor, Calif., and Peri (Andrew) Speckhard of Spring, Texas; numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Mark was preceded in death by his father, fatherin-law Al Dedrick and sister Glennis Cottrell.

“Typically funding only goes for GAP approved programs,” Hollen said.

“So, anywhere from CNA (certified nursing assistant) to welding certificates to CDL (commercial driver’s license) certificates, all those short-term training are approved.”

The specific programs eligible are in the fields of information technology, health care, advanced manufacturing and transportation and logistics.

PACE PACE funding is similar to GAP because it is funding that allows applicants to break through any ca-

reer barriers they have, such as interview skills or resumé building.

“PACE funds can hopefully help them (students) in getting further education,” Hollen said.

PACE, which stands for pathways for academic career employment, helps students who may have barriers preventing them from continuing their education.

Barriers may include criminal background, lack of transportation, child care, mental illness or financial issues.

Second time around “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and looked into, but the timing’s always been off, or wrong,” Biddenback said.

Biddenback attended a three-week CNA course through Southwestern Community College in February.

While attending the class, she also attended a resumé workshop at Iowa Workforce Development, which helped Biddenback learn to build her resumé for when she applies for jobs.

In March, Biddenback finished the CNA course, a five-days per week course lasting eight hours a day.

“It was something that I wasn’t used to,” Biddenback said. “We had 70 hours of class time, I think, and then, we had clinicals the last week, along with lab time. So, it was very different

having class in the morning, and then lab in the evening, and then clinicals.”

“We went to Crest Haven Care Center (for clinicals), and we got one-on-one with all the residents that were there, as well as the nursing staff and the current CNAs there.”

CNA After becoming a certified CNA, Biddenback applied to jobs online, including one for a position at Prairie View Assisted Living.

She then attended a job fair at the college in Creston, and met with employees at Prairie View Assisted Living. They made a connection.

“I went to the job fair,” Biddenback said. “Handed them my resumé, and I think that they were calling me in to do a background check. And, a couple days later I was called in to do orientation.”

Biddenback is currently employed

entering a telephone number, which specialists say carry the same risk.

Cell phones have accounted for more than 7,000 crashes statewide in the past decade, killing 24 people.

One was Allison Smith, a 17-year-old Stacyville student. She died in November 2011 on her way home from school when her car plowed beneath a stopped school bus as she was texting.

She probably never saw the bus. Phone records and the school bus video show her texting before impact on U.S. Highway 218 east of St. Ansgar. Iowa State Patrol crash investigators determined from air bag data she did not brake before the crash. The school bus driver and 21 children escaped without injury.

“She always had a smile on her face,” said Allison’s mother, Lesa Smith, who cooks at an assisted living facility. Lesa’s husband, Paul, farms near Stacyville.

Lesa Smith describes Allison as a typicial high school girl who played volleyball and basketball. She kept stats for the St. Ansgar High School football team. She loved horses — especially her own, Penny — and was close with her older brother, Cole.

Friends called her Ally.

Enforcement roadblock The Iowa State Patrol has 358 officers. Yet last year only 252 texting tickets were issued statewide. Sgt. Scott Bright, state patrol spokesperson, said those numbers demonstrate the enforcement struggle on Iowa’s roadways.

As a trooper, Bright has seen it all with distracted driving — women applying makeup, men shaving, people eating a bowl of cereal on the way to work, even people driving while working on a laptop computer. But he sees nothing more frequently than texting and driving — at least one or two cases daily in his 15 to 20 minute drive to work.

Law enforcement officers also have issued texting tickets if the person is spotted not wearing a seat belt or driving with expired registration.

Bright recalled watching a man recently texting next to

In January, the state plans to revise the form to include a separate category for driver distraction that will include electronic device options.

How Iowa compares Across the nation, states are adopting stricter laws banning phone use behind the wheel.

Connecticut receives federal funding based its tight law and enforcement. Just this year, Illinois began ticketing drivers for use of any handheld device while driving.

Other states have a graduated charge to its distraction tickets -- higher with each offense.

Most states adopted a primary law from the beginning.

Iowa hasn’t come close. “The bill was pretty well watered down to even get passage at that time,” said former State Rep. Doris Kelley, D-Waterloo, vice chair of the House Transportation Committee the current law passed.

“We don’t know when Iowa lawmakers still cannot get support to update the how to best law. Virginia did readdress the issue state’s cently. Last July, it began enif we don’t have forcing the law as a primary offense, fining motorists $125 the statistics to for the first offense and $250 guide us.” for subsequent offenses.

“You could see him hit the send button; then he would wait. I could actually see the light-up of the phone where the next message would come in and then he’d respond to that message,” Bright said.

Technically, a driver can refuse to surrender a phone under the Fourth Amendment prohibiting search and seizure without a warrant.

Citations also can be issued after the fact if officers take the time to legally obtain driver phone records showing a half-completed text message before the collision.

from school early the day she died. Normally she stayed after school for volleyball practice. That day she drove home immediately after school got out — following a school bus with a new stop in its route. A family had just moved into a previously empty home.

“It was devastating for us,” Smith said. “She was our only girl and the baby of the family.”

Now, Smith says, Iowa needs stronger laws to make people think twice about being on a phone.

“If it would save just one life, that would make it worthwhile,” she said.

State Rep. Clel Baudler, R-Greenfield, chairman of the House Public Safety Committee and a former state trooper, supports a stricter Baudler distracted driving law.

On his way to the Statehouse for the opening of the 2014 legislative session, he spotted a driver texting.

“I would’ve pulled her over myself for drunk driving — it was that bad,” Baudler said.

State Sen. Bowman said he would look to other states to see what Iowa should be doing. He said legislators can try for a stricter law, but it is less likely to pass.

Former State Rep. Kelley said she knew it would be hard to pass a stronger bill due to anti-government sentiment. She said a $30 fine is “nothing,” and federal action may be needed.

“I love it,” Biddenback said. “It’s mainly just overnight care for anyone who needs assistance emulating to the restroom, giving overnight medication if needed, and so on and so forth.”

Biddenback plans to eventually continue her education and do the LPN (licensed practical nurse) and RN (registered nurse) programs.

“It was well worth it,” Biddenback said of the process. “There is always stress, but having a good foundation of people who listen makes the stress worth it because you realize the stress is not just bad stress. It’s good stress that you need to go where you’re heading.”

OPINION Creston Schools update

Graduation has come and gone, students have been dismissed for the summer, and June is here!

Amidst the blur that the end of a school year can be, I’m writing to share a school update.

I’ve always found high school graduation interesting for several reasons. The main thing that has always intrigued me is the vast difference between the feelings of parents and their graduating youngsters.

We parents want graduation to be so special because we realize the significance of this time in a person’s life. From our experience, we know that life can change enormously on graduation day, the day a person leaves their high school nest and most times their lifetime home.

On the other hand, the graduates rarely understand what the big deal is and simply want to get the whole experience over with. Many students are ready to leave high school and to move on in life long before the commencement ceremony.

Even the most mature high school seniors typically miss both the symbolic and very tangible

From the desk of Steve McDermott Creston Superintendent

meanings of graduation. Whether our youngsters appreciate it or not, we parents will continue such rituals as commencement, baccalaureate, receptions and other graduation-related traditions. We know this is a special time that should generate at least a few cherished memories.

Recently we have held several celebrations in our schools to recognized students at all levels for academic achievement, character and attendance. Yes, those are still high priorities. In these days of mushrooming government requirements in education and a broad range of distractions for children, academics, attendance and character remain important and are reinforced in our schools.

We have advertised for bids for the construction of the new transportation facility, otherwise known as the bus barn. This has been a

project that has weathered more than its share of obstacles.

At one point the district was advised to bid each part of the construction separately, but that approach simply did not yield the intended results. Therefore the most recent package of building specifications includes the actual steel structure, the electrical work and the automatic doors. Of course one change that significantly altered the original plan was the state fire code that requires a public vehicle storage facility to include a hard-surface floor. Initially we had hoped to use gravel on the floor, but this request was denied due to code.

Gary Briley, supervisor of maintenance and grounds, and staff plan to install the plumbing and to work on other parts of the project. Insurance money will cover a large portion of the expense of this facility.

You may recall the tornado in 2012 wiped out the original bus building.

Four reputable, Iowa-based, general contractors attended the recent mandatory pre-bid meeting. Bids are due in on June 10, and we hope all four submit competitive bids.

Consideration of the potential consolidation of the Creston and Prescott School Districts continues. The two school boards met together last summer and have since toured school facilities. The two districts share certain staff members now, as well. The districts plan to hold a public election on this matter next spring. I will share more information in the months to come related to student learning opportunities, facilities, class sizes, public hearings, possible tax levy rates, etc., related to the potential marriage of the two districts.

Everyone wants to see our local school districts survive and thrive regardless of their sizes, but as student populations decline in some areas, certain decisions and accompanying changes are forced upon us.

We must always keep our children first in mind and maintain a vision for the future through it all.

Many have worried that the loss of a school will lead to the loss of a town and community. Sadly, the decline of a community, often due to the lack of local employment op-

portunities, generally precedes the loss of a school. Again, we must focus on what is best for our local kids and their learning as we do whatever it takes to prepare them for their lives in their world.

Recently we have opened an “email suggestion box” or an address where people can share positive thoughts or improvement ideas related to our local schools.

We all want to expand Panther Pride and this is a strategy aimed at gathering good ideas or “Points of Panther Pride.”

When offering your suggestions, please keep student learning and student experiences in mind. Please also phrase your thoughts in positive, constructive terms. Thanks!

While criticism can be constructive at times, we just don’t need more complaints. We have plenty of those already. Thanks! We’re all in this together and we all want our schools to be the absolute best they can be.

The address is: pantherpride@ crestonschools.org.

Thanks for your ideas for ways we can pump up our Panther Pride!

Letter to the editor

Joni Ernst is NOT for Iowa From Monica McCarthy, Union County Democratic chairperson Creston

Joni Ernst, the Republican Senate candidate, has extreme positions that are NOT in the best interest of the citizens of Iowa.

Her views are hard-core Koch Brother paid-for politically far right. It is not a matter what she stands for ... it is what she is against.

• No minimum wage for hard working people • No education department for our children • No progressive tax code to even out the system and make it fair for all

• No clean water act to clean up and protect our waterways • No farm bill for Iowa or the rest of the nation • No gun control, not even mental health issues What is she for, you ask? Privatizing Social Security. Hey, Joni, we remember what happened to the stock market in 2008. We do not want our Social Security money to be in the hands of Wall Street.

We need to elect Bruce Braley to take Tom Harkin’s seat in the Senate. He will continue with a progressive, pro-environment record to keep Iowa the beautiful and safe place where we live.

The White House poll numbers showed a loss of confidence HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Donald Sterling announced Thursday he has decided to drop his lawsuit against the NBA and agreed to sell the L.A. Clippers for two billion dollars. He said he’s tired of the constant racial controversy. He’s going to take the two billion dollars and buy the Washington Redskins.

Baywatch star David Hasselhoff will host a NationalGeographic special commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall this year.

He’s quite well known in Germany. The reason they tore down the wall was to get away from David Hasselhoff’s singing.

France hosted the leaders from U.S., Britain, Germany and Russia Friday to mark D-Day’s seventieth anniversary. Vladimir Putin couldn’t help exuding a sense of superiority over the other world leaders. He’s the only one who can get breakfast at McDonald’s after 10:30 a.m.

Justin Bieber was shown in a video Friday singing a song praising the Ku Klux Klan. Last week he told a racist joke on a video and next week is his trial for drugged driving. Justin Bieber’s mother just tweeted that she’d like to have another child, unless her demands are met.

The White House poll numbers

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

showed a loss of confidence in foreign policy Friday. The administration remains defiant. Susan Rice was asked to comment on this past weekend’s big anniversary and she declared that O.J. Simpson served NBC Sports with honor and distinction.

The White House made no apologies Thursday for agreeing with the Taliban to hand over five Taliban leaders in exchange for Sgt. Bergdahl. They had good reason for not consulting with Congress about the swap. It’s against U.S. government policy to negotiate with Republicans.

Attorney General Eric Holder announced he’s forming a federal task force to clamp down on what the administration considers domestic terrorists. You know what this means. If you are from Idaho, you won’t be able to get on any plane in America but if you’re from Guantanamo, you can.

The Taliban celebrated after the five Taliban leaders were flown from Guantanamo to Qatar.

The bearded men walked freely through Qatar shopping and enjoying themselves and telling inter-

viewers about their religious zeal.

They looked like the stars of Goat Dynasty.

The Houston City Council passed an ordinance making all city bathrooms, showers and dress facilities open to both sexes. Texans killed in battle have gravestones marked Alamo, Shiloh and Guadalcanal. Now they’ll also read Didn’t Leave the Toilet Seat Down at TGI Friday’s.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s Escalade was involved in a DUI arrest in Toronto last weekend while he was out of town in rehab for a month. When Rob Ford’s in rehab and his Escalade’s drunk, it’s the clearest sign yet that the machines have won. Now O.J. can claim the Bronco did it.

L.A. marked the twentieth anniversary of the murder of O.J. Simpson’s wife Nicole today. It was a shock. If someone told you beforehand that an NFL Hall of Fame running back from USC would kill his wife and the jury would let him off, you’d have bet the farm it’d be Frank Gifford.

Monica Lewinsky will give her first TV interview in ten years to the National Geographic Channel. What memories. There was a time in this country when we didn’t elect a president to convince ourselves that we weren’t racist, we elected a president for his entertainment value.

Supreme Court leaves California in charge of disabled inmates WASHINGTON (MCT) — The U.S. Supreme Court turned down a states’ rights appeal from California Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday, leaving in place a judge’s order that requires state officials to monitor each of about 2,000 disabled prisoners who are held in county jails.

Without comment, the justices refused to hear Brown’s complaint that the order “violates fundamental federalism principles” by holding the state liable for lapses by local officials.

The court’s dismissal is the latest setback for California’s top officials in a long-running battle with federal judges over the management of the state’s prisons.

Three years ago, the high court upheld judges who said the state’s prisons were so

badly overcrowded that they could not provide decent health care for inmates who had medical or mental problems. The only remedy, the court agreed, was to reduce the number of state prisoners.

In response, Brown helped engineer a “realignment” that shifted thousands of lowlevel offenders and parole violators to county jails. In 2012, the legislature decreed that these inmates were the “sole legal custody” of county officials.

But last year, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the state retained the legal duty to make sure that prisoners who have a disability are given the “reasonable accommodations” required under the Americans With Disabilities Act, even if they

are held in a county jail.

“These accommodations include the basic necessities of life for disabled prisoners and parolees, such as wheelchairs, sign-language interpreters, accessible beds and toilets and tapping canes for the blind,” said Judge Stephen Reinhardt for the 9th Circuit. “The state is not absolved of all of its responsibility for ADA obligations as to the parolees” just because they are now held in county jails, he wrote.

The appeals court upheld a 43-page order by U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken, which said state officials must check with each parole violator who is sent to a county jail and has a disability. She said the state must see to it that the inmate receives the accommodations required under the law.

BEIJING (MCT) — Relatives of some of the passengers who went missing on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 have launched a campaign to raise a $5 million reward in the hopes of enticing someone to come forward with information about the jet’s disappearance three months ago.

The monthlong fundraising drive was launched Sunday on the crowd-funding site Indiegogo.

Organizers say the campaign will have three stages: collecting the funds, hiring a private investigation company to follow up on “qualified leads” and lobbying governments around the globe to change air safety, aircraft tracking and passport control policies to prevent another tragedy like Flight 370.

“The idea of a reward came up the second or third week after the plane went missing, but then nobody did anything about it,” said Sarah Bajc, who is serving on the seven-member administration committee and whose partner, Philip Wood, was on the plane. “We suggested it to the Malaysian government several times.”

Flight 370 disappeared March 8 en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing with 239 people aboard. Ini-

tial searches off the southern coast of Vietnam, followed by a much more extensive effort off the western coast of Australia in the Indian Ocean, have turned up no debris or other signs of the Boeing 777.

In addition to Bajc, the reward committee includes four other people with loved ones on Flight 370, as well as Maarten Van Sluys, a Brazilian businessman who lost his sister when Air France Flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, and Ethan Hunt, the Australian chief executive of a 3-D printer company who has experience with crowd-funding.

Bajc said relatives of passengers from Malaysia and China were generally more hesitant to back the reward effort, and some were under pressure from government officials to maintain a low profile.

A detailed official calculus of the cost of the search efforts has not yet been made, but Australia alone has said that it would spend $84 million in 2013-14.

On Monday, Malaysia said that it had spent $8.6 million on search and recovery efforts by its air force, navy, police, fire and rescue department and maritime enforcement agency. It did not

FAX

give figures for the administrative costs of the effort.

Malaysia Airlines, the country’s flag carrier, last month posted its worst quarterly loss in two years largely due to the disappearance of Flight 370 but did not break out the specific costs.

Malaysian officials are scheduled to meet with Australian search coordinators Tuesday and travel Thursday to China, the home country of the majority of passengers.

The Australian agency that has been coordinating the search is now defining a wider search zone — up to 23,000 square miles — and soliciting bids from private companies to conduct the next phase of the effort.

Exactly how, why and where the plane vanished remains a mystery. Steve Wang, whose mother was aboard the flight and who is not connected to the $5 million reward effort, said Chinese families are desperate for more details and are trying to organize a lawsuit, but have yet to agree on a firm to pursue the case.

“Our primary goal is not compensation, but information,” he said Monday. ©2014 Los Angeles Times Distributed by MCT Information Services

In defense of extended warranties Dear Heloise: I am always amazed that so-called economic experts advise consumers not to buy EXTENDED WARRANTIES. My 3-yearold refrigerator has been serviced six times, and it finally had to be replaced. If I had not had that extended warranty, I would be out thousands of dollars! Same for the stove and microwave, and these are not some unheard-of brand, but top-notch appliances! — Missy G. in Alabama Well, you bring up a valid example of how the extended warranty works in some cases, but definitely not all. Most new products, however, come with their own manufacturer warranty of one year. According to data, this is the time frame when most of these appliances will have a problem, so any issues tend to be resolved within that time.

Here is a hint: Be mindful about how you pay for products. Many purchases made by credit card can actually extend a warranty by a year. Check your credit card, because this coverage is free. — Heloise NO MANUAL Dear Heloise: In a previous column, a reader suggested leaving the operating instructions to appliances when you move. Here is a hint if you have no idea how to work an

Hints from Heloise appliance and no instruction manual: Most major appliances have a label with the make and model number somewhere on the back or bottom. I have had this problem before, and found that you can go online and find everything from quick tips to full brochures that are free to download. Just go to the manufacturer’s website and look for your model number. — Stan in California GIFT RECEIPT Dear Heloise: My fiancee and I love your column and can’t wait to read it in The Washington Post. Last night, my fiancee gave me a hint, and I said, “This is so good, we should write to Heloise about it.”

When wrapping any gifts, tape the gift receipt to the bottom of the box that contains the gift. That way, should the recipient want to return the gift for any reason, all that he or she needs to return the gift is right there. Otherwise, the recipient is faced with the embarrassing task of asking

Try using a butter knife instead. Butter knives are far stronger and will not bend, but will cut through the ice cream much easier than a spoon.

Sterling to sue LOS ANGELES — In a reversal, Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling will pursue a $1 billion federal lawsuit against the NBA and commissioner Adam Silver, and withdraw his support for the sale of the team negotiated by his wife.

“I have decided that I must fight to protect my rights,” Sterling said Monday in a letter circulated widely among those involved in the sale and obtained by ESPN.com.

“While my position may not be popular, I believe that my rights to privacy and the preservation of my rights to due process should not be trampled.”

Sterling’s attorney Max Blecher earlier told ESPN.com in an email, “The deal is off.”

Blecher also suggested Donald Sterling would be challenging wife Shelly Sterling’s actions and negotiation of the sale in probate court Tuesday.

However, no action had been taken as of Monday night.

Last week, both Donald Sterling and Blecher indicated publicly that they would accept the record $2 billion sale to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. In an interview with NBC4 during a charity function, Sterling said he was ready to “move on.”

Fisher agrees NEW YORK — The New York Knicks have an agreement in place with Derek Fisher to become the team’s next coach, according to multiple outlets, including ESPNNewYork. com.

The two sides are in the process of finalizing a fiveyear, $25 million deal, according to Yahoo! Sports.

The Knicks have scheduled a news conference at 11:30 a.m. ET Tuesday to “make a major announcement.” After the news conference, Jackson will fly overseas Tuesday night for his son’s wedding, while Fisher is expected to attend Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night.

Asked in a group of three reporters about hiring Fisher in the bowels of Madison Square Garden following the Rangers’ Stanley Cup finals game Monday night, Jackson said “Go Fish.”

Kings win NEW YORK — It turns out Jonathan Quick and the Los Angeles Kings are just as good with the lead as they are without it.

That leaves the New York Rangers with little hope of making much of a series out of the Stanley Cup finals.

Quick stopped 32 shots in his best start of the series, Jeff Carter scored in the final second of the first period,Jake Muzzin and Mike Richards added goals in the second, and the Kings beat the Rangers 3-0 on Monday night to move within one win of their second Stanley Cup title in three years.

Improvement not measured by record for Panther girls

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

A look at the Creston girls soccer record doesn’t tell the whole story.

The Panthers may have finished the season with a record of 1-15, but head coach Kim Lauffer knows that record doesn’t fully show the amount of improvement her team made this season.

The Panthers defeated Oakland Riverside 2-1 in overtime on May 2, ending a drought of two years, 30 days without a win.

During that time, the Panthers lost 35 straight games since defeating Missouri Valley 2-0 in the first match of the 2012 season.

“It’s been a great season, despite the fact our record doesn’t show how much we’ve improved,” Lauffer said at the team’s postseason awards banquet at her house Monday night.

“It’s interesting to me we only give two most improved player awards, but I feel like the whole team has improved so much this year, which is encouraging.

We feel like we’re doing something right.”

Lauffer knows what the

next step forward needs to be for her team.

“We just have to get to the point where the consistency is there and we can start having winning sea-

sons,” she said.

Lauffer and assistant coach Jerry Hartman handed out five team awards in addition to letters and participation awards at Mon-

day’s banquet.

Sabrina Lapcheske won the Most Improved JV Player Award, while Katie Powers earned the Most Improved Varsity Player

Award, both of which were voted on by their teammates.

Creston cruises to 6-1 Panther defense shines in 11-0 rout win over Mustangs

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

SHENANDOAH — Chase Shiltz and Jon Birchard combined to give up just five hits to Shenandoah here Monday in a 6-1 Hawkeye 10 Conference victory over the Mustangs.

Shiltz had a no-hitter going through three innings of work, but had walked one batter and hit four others before head coach Steve Birchard went to his son Jon in relief. Jon Shiltz Birchard gave up five hits, striking out one and hitting one in four innings of work.

Coach Birchard said he planned to use Shiltz for just a couple of innings, in order to keep his arm fresh for games later in the week.

“Chase was fine — they weren’t hitting him,” coach Birchard said.

“Our plan was to have him throw a couple of innings, and if he was low on his pitch count, we’d go another inning. He was OK after two. Third inning he got up there. He was walking guys, hit guys.

“I didn’t realize he had a no-hitter when I took him out. I wouldn’t have kept him in anyway, because we need arms.”

Shiltz exited the game with a 4-0 lead, as the Panthers scored one run in the first inning and three more in the second.

Cole Crawford led the game off with a walk and advanced on a groundout before scoring on a Nate Haley single.

In the second inning, Brandon Phipps was hit by a pitch followed by a Trey Benson walk. Conner Pals singled to load the bases and then Crawford singled to bring in a

pair of runs.

Senior Trevor Luther then hit an RBI single to give Creston the 4-0 lead.

The Panthers made it 6-0 in the top of the fifth inning, as Crawford reached on an error that allowed both Phipps and Benson to score.

Shenandoah answered in the bottom of the fifth inning, as the leadoff batter reached on a hit by pitch, followed by back-to-back singles.

Jackson Baker drove in the lone Shenandoah run.

But with Birchard throwing strikes on the mound, inducing weak-hit balls, the Panthers were able to hold on for the win.

“We played good defense,” coach Birchard said. “Garret Taylor had a couple of nice running catches.

Brandon Phipps made a couple of nice plays at third.

Nate came off the bag at first and made a tag. Defense performed Taylor pretty well. I was impressed with our defense tonight.

That’s nice to have the defense come around.”

Birchard said Shenandoah starting pitcher Jose Rendon got stronger as the game went along, making it more difficult for the Panthers to get the timely hits they needed.

“Credit their pitcher,” he said.

“He was living on the fastball, then in the middle innings got his curveball going and we chased him a little. By the end of the game, he was on with both of his pitches.”

SHENANDOAH — Creston sophomore right fielder Alyssa Higgins kept momentum on Creston’s side with her defense twice here Monday in an 11-0 win over Shenandoah.

The Fillies entered the Hawkeye 10 Conference matchup riding a seven-game winning streak, but the Panther bats and defense cooled Shenandoah off.

Higgins made her mark on the game early.

After Creston pitcher Haylee LaMasters hit an RBI single in the top of the first inning to give Creston a 1-0 lead, Shenandoah leadoff hitter Devon Wood smacked a double to the right-center field fence.

Higgins picked up the ball and made the relay throw to second baseman Shelby Palser, who turned and fired to Lexie Little at third base, tagging out Wood as she attempted Higgins to stretch the hit into a triple.

“Maybe the untold story of the game is we had two assists from our right fielder in the first three innings,” Creston head coach Mike McCabe said. “Alyssa made a great throw. Rather than having a leadoff triple, we had a leadoff out. That was huge.”

Higgins did it again in the third inning, stopping a two-out rally by the Fillies by gunning down a runner at home plate to end the inning.

“Those are two huge plays right there that could have changed the complexion of the game,” McCabe said. “She’s done a nice job defensively for us out there. Just made

the right play there. Didn’t try to do too much. We were fortunate to be able to make both of those plays.”

McCabe was pleased with his defense, in general.

After struggling with nine total errors in Thursday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference doubleheader with Harlan, the Panthers committed just one error on Monday.

LaMasters wasn’t overpowering with just one strikeout, but induced plenty of ground ball outs.

She did not issue a walk and allowed only five hits, three of which were to LaMasters Wood.

“Give them some credit,” McCabe said. “They put the ball in play and were aggressive at the plate swinging. I thought we did a pretty good job making the plays we had to. Was a good ballgame for us. We needed to bounce back, especially in the conference, and get a win. Nice to get it on the road.”

Hits McCabe was also pleased to see his team string hits together. The Panthers scored six runs in the fourth inning and three runs in the fifth inning.

“That was probably the first time we’ve strung some hits together,” he said. “Did a good job.”

Josie Sickels had an RBI hit in the fourth inning, followed by an RBI fielder’s choice for Taylor Briley. LaMasters hit a two-run single, followed by a two-run double by Natalie Mostek.

Sickels added another RBI single in the fifth inning, followed by an Please see PANTHERS, page 10A

Adams County Speedway

RACING Update

The streak ends at 19

By BURTON HEATON Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING — A record 19 race nights in a row had come off without interruption at the Adams County Speedway going back to June 22, 2013, but the streak came to an end when more than an inch of rain fell on an already wet race track Saturday. With the SLMR late models on the docket, the decision to cancel was difficult, but necessary.

The SLMR late models will be at Adams County on August 16 to compete for $2,000 in the Malvern Trust and Savings Bank special.

With no racing action to cover this week, and about one-third of the 2014 season in the books, it leaves an opportunity to look at the national points races in the NASCAR Whelen AllAmerican Series.

Last year ACS had six representatives at the national awards banquet in Charlotte, N.C., a number unmatched by any other track in the nation. With strong performances so far this year, several local drivers are in the hunt for a trip to Charlotte this year.

The NASCAR Whelen

All-American Series points are accumulated from the best 14 point nights any driver has at any one of 52 sanctioned tracks in the nation.

In Whelen Division 2, modified driver Jesse Dennis, Corning, is currently sitting fourth overall, but is leading the dirt track Dennis standings with 217 points. Another driver from Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Penn., has the same number of points in identical starts, but Dennis’ five wins gives him the advantage.

The Stalker Chevrolet bmods are in Division 3 and have the advantage of racing at both ACS and I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb., to accumulate national points.

A C S drivers competing at both tracks are dominating the division with Red Oak’s Weston

Jerod Weston leading the way with 358 points. Josh Sink, Stanton, and Blain Petersen, Essex, are sitting third and fourth nationally with 318 and 302 points respectively.

Defending champion Jon Plowman is in seventh currently, but has only been racing at Adams County and thus has fewer starts Plowman than the rest of the field. With an average point per race total well above the competition, Plowman would appear to be in line for a repeat trip to North Carolina.

Division 4 is dominated nationally by cars running on asphalt, but Bedford’s Brad Derry is bucking the trend and leads the national standings as the lone dirt car in the top 14. His 302 points in 12 starts has him 67 points ahead of second place. Joe Zadina, Corning, currently sits 15th overall and second place in the dirt division.

The Chat Mobility hobby stocks race is in Division 5,

and although he’s still winless on the season, Bedford’s Jeremy Purdy sits 10th nationally and third in the dirt division. Fellow ACS regulars Tom Myers, Andy Davison, Purdy and Luke Ramsey are currently 13th through 15th, with only one point separating each of them.

Racing will resume on Saturday, June 14, with Southwestern Community College All-School night. All five classes of NASCAR racing will be on hand for a full night of action.

On June 21, the annual Alegent Kids’ Bicycle Races will be held on the front stretch at intermission. All kids age 12 and under are invited to bring their bikes and race on the dirt. Boys and girls will compete in separate divisions this year with trophies to the winners and a medal for all competitors.

ER M M U S

DETROIT — June at Michigan International Speedway has been kind to Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt, nicknamed “June bug” as a youngster by his legendary racing father, has snapped long losing streaks at MIS in June twice during his career and left each time with renewed hope of winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup championship that has so far eluded him.

At 39, Earnhardt heads on this occasion to the super-fast 2-mile oval in the Irish Hills coming off a victory at Pocono Raceway.

On Sunday, he passed Brad Keselowski (Team Penske) with five laps remaining in the Pocono 400 to take the lead and seal the deal while BK was attempting to clean debris from the front grille of his No. 2 Miller Lite Ford—a gamble he and his crew chief, Paul Wolfe, might now regret.

Earnhardt drove to his second victory of the season in his No. 88 National Guard Chevrolet and assured himself a place in the Chase for the Champion-

ship.

Considering this is the first time since 2004 that Junior has notched multiple wins in a Cup season, Pocono was an important victory for him and his Hendrick Motorsports team.

“He (Keselowksi) didn’t want to let me by, but I don’t know if his motor was going to make it,” Earnhardt told reporters after the race. “That is unfortunate for him. He had me beat—I couldn’t get to him. But I have lost some in some strange ways, so it feels good to win one like that.”

In June 2008 at MIS, Earnhardt broke a 76-race victory drought.

He snapped a 143-race winless streak in June 2012 at Michigan—his first victory since that MIS win four years earlier.

Junior is third in Cup points behind leader Jeff Gordon (Hendrick) and itching to start in Sunday’s Quicken Loans 400 at MIS and attempt to make it three wins for 2014.

Sophomore Maddie Travis was awarded the Ms. Hustle Award by the coaches.

The team vote for Most Valuable Player came down to the wire.

“This is the award that goes to the player the team votes as the most valuable,” Lauffer said. “It was pretty close. There were a couple of players that were highly valued this year.”

Junior Hanna Luther won the M V P a w a r d by just a couple of votes. Luther also brought home the Luther Coaches’ Award.

“It’s based on effort, attitude, teachability and whether or not they’re a team player,” Lauffer said.

“What we look for in this player is whether or not they’re a leader, both on and off the field, whether serving as an elected leader for the team or not.”

In addition to the team awards, three seniors were named to the Hawkeye 10 Conference All-Academic team.

Sadie Jones, Michelle Powers and Itzayanna Ru-

bio all earned that distinction.

“That’s a big accomplishment,” Lauffer said.

“You have to have a GPA of 3.5 or higher.”

Lauffer thanked her coaching staff of Hartman and Elizabeth Gates, as well as the parents of all the athletes.

“Thank you for how you raised your children,” she said. “It really shows when they come to play on the team. They’re very respectful. It’s very much appreciated. It’s been a privilege to coach these girls.”

improved to 3-1 on the season with a 12-1 win over Shenandoah on Monday.

Youths involved in three-day bicycle safety program Creston FFA’s bicycle safety program has provided riding helmets for more than 2,100 young people

a bicycle safety program.

With the help of Creston police, FFA members explained the importance of wearing safety gear and knowing the correct hand signals when riding a bicycle.

Students received a coloring page on bicycle safety and were provided the opportunity to demonstrate how to properly ride a bicycle on a city street, use hand signals when turning away or into traffic and approach various street signs on a bicycle safety rodeo course.

T h e chapter was assisted in its presentations by Henry local police officer Pat Henry.

■

Creston FFA, working with the Creston Law Enforcement Center and the Union County Sheriff’s Department, presented its annual three-day bicycle safety program to more than 200 first- and secondgrade students in the Creston public and St. Malachy schools May 15-16 and 23.

More than 2,100 young people have been taught the importance of bicycle safety and been provided with a helmet they can wear when riding their bikes since Creston FFA started

Newly-elected Chapter President Darin Hatfield said Henry was very important to the overall program’s success.

“The law enforcement always works well with the young people and are very knowledgeable about the bicycle safety laws, adding credibility to our presentation and program,” said newly-elected Chapter Vice President Brooke Thelen, another FFA member involved in the safety program.

“Safety can save lives if we take it seriously,” said FFA member Taylor Rice.

“If we can get one youngster to look before crossing an intersection, our efforts will be worthwhile,” said Kyle Jennett, member of the team that presented the programs to the Creston area youths.

First- and second-grade students participated in the chapter’s three-day bicycle safety program. The local FFA Chapter and Union County Law Enforcement Center purchased helmets that were given to all first-grade participants.

Buchanan Co. moves to prosecute Beatle Magic coming to Corning — Milwau- waukee, he joined the lads bands at the Beatlefest 14-year-old for attempted murder kee’sCORNING “fab four” tribute of The BriTins.

Convention in Chicago.

INDEPENDENCE (MCT) — The Buchanan County Attorney’s Office wants to prosecute 14-year-old Kyara Redmond as a youthful offender, a hybrid alternative between the juvenile and adult court systems.

Redmond is charged with attempted murder, going armed with intent, intimidation with a dangerous weapon and willful injury. Her case stems from a violent episode with staffers May 29 at Four Oaks, a residential care facility on the Mental Health Institute campus in Independence.

Redmond allegedly injured two people, strangling one with a cord. According to court documents, she also pushed and punched Four Oaks employees and threatened them with scissors. One employee was treated at a hospital emergency room.

In his motion to move the case out of the juvenile court system, Assistant County Attorney Michael Hudson notes the alleged crimes represent forcible felonies if committed by an adult. He also argues the judicial system will likely need to maintain control of Redmond beyond her 18th birthday.

“There are not reasonable prospects for rehabilitating the child before the child reaches the age of majority in the event the juvenile court retains jurisdiction,” Hudson wrote.

According to court records, Redmond allegedly stabbed her mother with a screwdriver and was adjudicated as a delinquent in Linn County. According to court records, she has a history of aggressive behavior toward others and was diagnosed with disruptive mood dysregulation, conduct disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, a reference manual used by

the American Psychiatric Association, introduced disruptive mood dysregulation in 2013 and defines the new disorder. The condition in children is “characterized by severe and recurrent temper outbursts that are grossly out of proportion in intensity or duration to the situation.”

According to the county attorney’s office, Four Oaks requested police officer’s help with Redmond three times in seven days during May. Among its clients, Four Oaks serves as “exception to policy” children with high-risk mental health issues.

As part of a temporary detention order, Judge Alan Allbee sent Redmond to the juvenile detention center in Waterloo. On Friday, Allbee extended the order until at least June 30 when a pretrial conference is scheduled.

Redmond is represented by Mary McGee Light, an attorney with the juvenile public defender’s office in Waterloo. On Friday, Light waived Redmond’s right to a detention hearing. She also denied the alleged offenses.

Under Iowa law, if Redmond pleads guilty or is convicted as a youthful offender, Buchanan County District Court will defer sentencing.

Her case would be transferred to the juvenile court for supervision.

The juvenile court judge ahead of Redmond’s 18th birthday will hold a hearing to determine whether she is discharged or stays on youthful offender status. The district court could then continue the youthful offender deferred sentence or impose a penalty, including incarceration.
