This opening date will be 11 days later than last year, due to a rainy spring that delayed the painting crew.

Library board sets interviews for new director

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

A new director will soon be hired at Gibson Memorial Library.

Creston Library Board will interview two applicants for the open position later this month with interview dates set for June 17 and June 23.

“They both look promising,” said Jeromy Brown, library board member.

The names of the two applicants are not being announced at this time.

The position came open in March when Marilyn Ralls resigned after 12 years with the library. Sue Teutsch has filled in as acting director since Ralls’ departure. The library board hopes to have a new director in place in July.

Library expansion The board officially signed a contract agreement Monday with an architect firm — FEH Associates of Des Moines — for the redesign, renovation and expansion of the current library building in Creston. FEH has managed the design and building/renovation of more than 100 libraries in the past 20 years.

Ann Coulter, library board chairwoman, said moving forward FEH will now assess the library building and look at possible design expansions that meet the needs of the community.

A design session will be scheduled later whereby Brown said the public, architects and members of the board will work together to formulate a unifying goal for the expansion of the current library. No dates have been set yet for that design session.

Council Bluffs moves forward with Wi-Fi plan COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — Council Bluffs has received equipment that will allow it to move forward with plans to offer wireless Internet throughout the city.

The city and its school district agreed to partner months ago in expanding Wi-Fi access from the current, few hotspots that are

scattered throughout the community, the Daily Nonpareil reported.

The goal is to help offer students, most of whom already have been issued a laptop by their schools, access to the Internet so they can use the technology for homework or other projects, said

Mark Howard, who serves as the city’s chief information official.

“Our goal is to cover where residents live, especially those with students,” Howard said Monday.

He added the Wi-Fi network could improve public safety and help increase economic development in Council Bluffs.

Some of the costs to expand Wi-Fi in the city will come from the private sector, with Google leading the charge, Howard said.

“It looks like a wonderful plan,” councilwoman Sharon White said.

Deaths William Strauss Panora

William Sidney Strauss was the first born of Sidney Harold and Barbara (Walsh) Strauss on Sep- Strauss tember 5, 1924. His youngest sister is Linda Strauss Hartsock.

Bill’s mother Barbara was a naturalized citizen of Canada. Bill’s father Sidney was the only son of Flora and Abraham Strauss, department store managers since the turn of the century.

Bill was born in Creston, Iowa, but spent part of his childhood in California.

He attended Lincoln High School in Creston, Iowa, and graduated from Creston High School. Bill was a Captain and Pilot in the United States Air Force during World War II. He attended the University of Nebraska. In 1960, Bill and Betty bought The Crest Bootery at 106 N. Maple Street in Creston. They later opened a ladies ready to wear store called, Coach ‘n Four at 104 N. Maple Street next door to the shoe store.

Bill married Betty Imogene Guthrie on May 31, 1947 in Creston, Iowa. At that time Bill and his father were partners in Sid Strauss Ready to Wear Store. On October 12, 1948, son Michael William was born.

Michael graduated from the University of Iowa and died in November of 1978.

On May 22, 1952, daughter Nancy Suzanne was born. Nancy also graduated from the University of Iowa. On June 19, 1976, Nancy married Dr. Michael Wells and to this union four children were born, Lucas Michael, Seth William, Megan Suzanne, and Joseph Robert.

Bill was active in football and basketball in high school and has followed his athletic interest in golf, running, swimming and tennis.

He was active in community activities in Creston, and also served as President of the Chamber of Commerce.

He loved hunting dogs and

also their basset hounds.

After Bill retired they rented and then built two houses at Lake Panorama, where they enjoyed golfing, boating, and spending time with family. They also owned a home in Arizona, where they spent winters for many years, eventually returning to making Lake Panorama their permanent residence. As wife Betty’s health failed, she entered The New Homestead in Guthrie Center, Iowa. Several years later Bill made the decision to live in an Assisted Living Apartment at The New Homestead to be closer to Betty where he visited her everyday.

Bill remained independent in his own apartment until late March 2015 at which time he sustained a fall and his health began to decline.

He then entered The New Homestead Nursing Facility and regained his independence. He had a sudden decline of health and passed away on Monday, June 8, 2015 surrounded by his wife, family members, and loving caregivers.

Bill is survived by his wife, Betty; sister Linda Hartsock of Creston; daughter, Nancy (Mike) Wells of Panora; Grandsons, Lucas (Emily) Wells and their children, Brady and McKinley; Seth Wells and Joseph Wells; and granddaughter, Megan (Joel) Pettit. He was preceded in death by his parents, son Michael, sister Carolyn (Roy) Jean Slezak, and brother-in-law Jim Hartsock.

Bill was a good husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and a friend to many. He was always polite and concerned about others. He will be missed not only by family but by many friends. May he rest in peace.

Sharon Kouri Cumming

Sharon Louise Kouri, 67, of Cumming, IA passed away Sunday, June 7, 2015 at St. Mary’s Hospital of the Kouri M a y o Clinic, in Rochester, MN. Sharon succumbed to an extremely aggressive form of lung cancer diagnosed two weeks prior.

Sharon was born in Des Moines on November 25, 1947 to John and Phyllis (Jensen) Goeders. She grew up in Altoona and attended SE Polk High School where she was a band majorette.

She attended Iowa State University in Ames and Southwest Community College in Creston ultimately achieving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Grandview University in 1990. At Grandview, she was chosen to serve on the Student Leadership Council and inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Society. She was included in Who’s Who in American Colleges.

In 1981 she and her husband, Mike, opened their first McDonald’s restaurant in Creston later adding their Osceola location in 1985. Throughout their 31 years in business they were recognized by the McDonald’s Corporation as Distinguished Owner Operators.

As an accomplished mixed media artist, Sharon’s work has been displayed at a variety of gallery shows such as Bochner Gallery, Botanical Garden of Des Moines, Des Moines Art Show and the Iowa State Fair.

Burned remains in Missouri linked to missing Iowa child, dad URBANDALE (AP) — Authorities say the remains of an infant and an adult found in burned vehicle in Harrison County, Mo., are believed to be those of a missing 9-month-old Iowa boy and his father.

Police in the Des Moines suburb of Urbandale had been looking for the child, Logan Habibovic. An Amber Alert issued for him ear-

ly Wednesday morning said it was believed he’d been abducted by 33-year-old Elvis Habibovic. The alert described a vehicle that authorities say matched the description of the burned vehicle found Tuesday evening in a conservation area of Missouri’s Harrison County.

Authorities in the two states are trying to positively identify the remains.

Iowa commission votes to direct $286M to US Highway 20 expansion plan SIOUX CITY (AP) — The Iowa Transportation Commission has voted to direct $286.4 million to finish expanding U.S. Highway 20 to four lanes in northwestern Iowa.

The Sioux City Journal reports the commission voted for the fiscal year 20162020 plan at their monthly meeting on Tuesday. The expansion will happen on stretches of the highway

in Woodbury, Ida and Sac counties.

The work includes $68.3 million for 12 miles in Woodbury County to be done by 2018, $138.1 million for 17 miles in Ida County for 2016 and $80 million for 11 miles in Sac County in 2017.

Highway 20 Association President Shirley Phillips said the improvements will boost economic development and improve safety.

Cedar Rapids to challenge Iowa DOT traffic cameras CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — The city of Cedar Rapids plans to challenge orders by Iowa’s transportation department to stop using certain traffic enforcement cameras.

The Cedar Rapids City Council voted Tuesday in favor of asking a district court to overturn the recent decision by the state Department of Transportation. It’s unclear when a court may take up the issue.

In May, the agency ordered Cedar Rapids and

other cities to stop using traffic enforcement cameras placed on or near state highways. Those orders came after several city officials appealed a new DOT rule that requires more justification for such cameras.

Cedar Rapids officials say the cameras decrease car crashes. Iowa DOT says the cameras do not make interstate highways or nearby intersections safer.

Officials in Des Moines also plan to legally challenge the orders.

Man fatally shot by Des Moines police after vehicle chase DES MOINES (AP) — A man has died after being shot

by Des Moines police following a vehicle chase.

The Des Moines Register reports the incident happened late Tuesday.

Sgt. Jason Halifax said that an officer had pulled over a

car for an unrelated traffic stop when another vehicle pulled up alongside so close that the officer couldn’t open the door.

Halifax said the driver of that car got out and danced before driving off.

Authorities say the driver

did a U-turn after a low-speed pursuit and stopped abruptly.

Halifax said the driver was behaving erratically when he got out and began to move toward the car window of another officer who had just arrived.

The officer shot the driver

in the torso, and he was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Halifax said he did not know if the driver was armed.

OPINION The cry wolf project

There is a website that purports to expose “myths about the economy and government,” Cry Wolf Project. It was there that I read recently a series of quotes from Alf Landon, the 1936 Republican nominee for president. Landon, who lost, was railing against the Social Security Act of 1935.

“This is the largest tax bill in history,” the loser Landon said. “And to call it ‘social security’ is a fraud on the workingman. ... I am not exaggerating the folly of this legislation. The saving it forces on our workers is a cruel hoax.”

A fraud on the working man?

How about the only thing working for the working man? Then and now.

What strikes me is how little Republicans have evolved on Social Security in 80 years. Maybe Alf Landon really believed what he was saying back in 1936, giving him the benefit of the doubt. But

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

it seems eight decades of evidence to the contrary has failed to inform Republicans like Chris Christie, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush, to name but the first reform-minded wave ashore.

Republicans’ preferred methods may change — we’ve gone from dreams of privatization to the gut du jour, raising retirement age — but they are always on the ready to nail Social Security.

It’s an understatement to say that such dangerous oblivion, or plain old pig-headedness, is sad, since Social Security is keeping so many afloat. Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman recently

wrote that Social Security is the source of over half of retirement income for a majority of American seniors. A majority. And, even more critical, more than a quarter of people over age 65 rely on Social Security exclusively. Exclusively.

Yet several 2016 Republican candidates and presumptive candidates already are Alf Landon-ing the issue that historically has been — this is the odd part — the surest way to alienate seniors and lose an election. They are daydreaming aloud about once again adjusting the retirement age — 70? anyone for 80? — so as to “fix” a program that’s not really ailing.

The company line is that only poor planning leaves a retired workingman or -woman reliant on Social Security alone. Never mind the all-too-common scenario of pension plans going up in smoke like a fireworks stand too near a

brush fire. Never mind a culture of jobs without benefits, much less pensions.

Republicans know their constituency, or think that they do.

Maybe what they really know is their own investment accounts.

The talk on the golf course, after all, is about counting capital gains, not anticipating Social Security checks.

Well, get a grip if you want to be president. Take a senior to lunch.

Listen to someone other than your peers, the privileged. Most of us aren’t trading stock tips. We are making ends meet.

Krugman again: “What we learn from the refusal of Republican-controlled states to expand Medicaid, even though the federal government would foot the bill, is that punishing the poor has become a goal in itself, one worth pursuing even if it hurts rather than helps state budgets.”

The poor aren’t living longer, Krugman notes; life expectancy has risen dramatically among the wealthy, but hardly at all in the bottom half of wage distribution.

So by raising the retirement age, you’re once again punishing the poor, the workers who need Social Security the most.

Social Security is not going broke, and isn’t an “entitlement” anyhow. It is our savings and our old-age cushion. Reform something else. Stop crying wolf in order to punish the working class. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ...

Texas legislature passed a bill allowing everybody to carry firearms HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

American Pharoah won the Belmont Stakes going away on Saturday and became the first Triple Crown winner in thirty-seven years. The thoroughbred is now a media sensation. American Pharoah will pose on the cover of next month’s issue of Vanity Fair to announce that his new name is Cleopatra.

The Tony Awards aired from Broadway on CBS Sunday in an evening filled with rousing songs and dance numbers from this year’s musicals. It’s a festive night for the evening’s target audience.

Watching the Tony Awards for the first time was the last stage of Bruce Jenner’s transition into Caitlyn.

The Texas legislature passed a bill allowing everybody to carry firearms on college campuses in Texas. Add pistols to beer and college football and watch the fun afterwards. It takes no genius to see that the sixty-minute football game between Texas and Texas A&M is just going to be the first half.

President Obama wrapped up his trip to the Group of Seven summit in Germany Monday saying that the U.S. has no strategy to defeat ISIS. He’d just had a nice talk with the Germans about it. It gave the president confidence the United States could lose the war and still lead the world in auto sales.

ABC News said an ISIS terrorist took a selfie standing in front of an identifiable ISIS command center in Iraq and posted it. Shortly after he left, the building was destroyed

2014

When ‘Washington solutions’ create bigger problems Nearly half of Americans who bought individual insurance plans from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or other marketplaces say they struggle to pay their monthly premiums. On top of that, the White House admits premium hikes are only expected to increase in 2016.

This anticipated rise of health insurance premiums on individuals in the ACA exchange should not come as a surprise. With health insurers experiencing skyrocketing care costs and other expenses, the logical result is premium increases on individual plans. Lofty promises were made when this legislation was being sold to Iowans and the American public, but there have been many shortcomings and disappointments.

Another troubling finding is for those who signed up for individual health plans, they also have concerns their coverage won’t be good enough to completely protect them financially. Iowans tell me they fear not being able to cover the costs of the medical expenses.

Unfortunately, I don’t expect this to change anytime soon. The U.S. Supreme Court is deliberating King vs. Burwell. If the Supreme Court sides with the Obama Ad-

U.S. Congressman David Young Republican

ministration, we’ll still be in the same position we’re in today in a system many Americans can’t afford.

If the Supreme Court rules against the Obama Administration, there is a fear many Americans will have the rug pulled out from underneath them and stuck with plans they can’t afford or even worse – left uninsured. In this ruling scenario, we need to ensure this doesn’t happen in the short term, while looking to longer term solutions to empower consumers to maximize their dollars and decision making.

The bottom line is this: Too frequently we spend our time fixing the mistakes created by so-called “Washington solutions.”

Yes, we need to strengthen health care. But, we do not need another big federal government-run program with a one-sizefits-all mentality. People need to be the priority; they need to be put in charge of their dollars and their decisions. After all, it is your

health we are talking about. And our doctors and providers need to be empowered to do what they trained for and love – helping people stay healthy and treating people to live better lives.

We need to approach this by listening to people first, and not hearing from them later after the fact and then trying to fix the mistakes.

That should be our approach to all legislating.

That’s why I am doing what those who created and passed this law never did, asking for your thoughts and ideas on how we best strengthen and improve health care. I have received hundreds of responses so far in this collaborative effort.

If you want to offer your thoughts, please visit www.davidyoung.house.gov/ – find “contact” in the menu bar – and then select “health care ideas” – I am still reviewing these ideas. I am still listening.

Afton’s Avila wins Iowa Job Honor award DES MOINES — The Iowa Job Honor awards — an initiative aimed at recognizing Iowans who have overcome significant barriers to employment — has announced its top honorees for 2015.

Nominations were submitted via the organization’s website and judged by a statewide panel. The awards were presented during the Iowa Association of Business and Industry’s annual conference on June 10, 2015, in the Quad Cities. Several hundred Iowa business leaders assembled

in Bettendorf to witness the ceremony, in which biographical videos described honoree efforts to win life-changing jobs.

One such honoree is Angela Avila of Afton. Avila is among the estimated 40 million adults in the United States struggling with anxiety disorder. Several years ago, Avila found that she was increasingly anxious about leaving her home.

“I got to the point where I’d get about halfway to work, then I’d have to turn and go

back,” she said.

Eventually the disorder ended her career and prevented her from participating in her children’s activities.

She credits the support she received from community members in helping her overcome her anxiety. The Creston IowaWORKS office set her up with an internship, and Avila landed a full-time job as a cashier for a retailer in Creston.

“It’s exciting,” she said. “I have a whole new life now.”

Avila and another award

winner received a $500 cash award and engraved crystal trophy.

The Iowa Job Honor awards is an annual awards event celebrating Iowans who have overcome significant barriers to employment, and the employers who hire them. IJHA’s mission is to rekindle hope and energize the work ethic across Iowa, through the celebration of a new kind of hero.

$6.75 million for conservation cost share. These funds will be utilized throughout the next fiscal year to support conservation practices and projects across the state.

At the end of the legislative session, ISA supported another effort to increase funding for conservation — raising the state sales tax by three-eighths of a cent. This effort would

have provided an estimated $165 million for the state’s natural resources trust fund.

Nearly two-thirds of these resources would fund practices to benefit soil conservation and water quality improvements. State legislators did not act this year but ISA members will continue to engage with them to build support for this popular measure.

ANKENY — Providing additional funds for soil and water conservation as well as transportation infrastructure were recognized by the Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) as major accomplishments of the 2015 legislative session.

“We’re pleased the Integrated Farm and Livestock Management program was once again fully funded by the legislature, providing $400,000 for research through ISA’s On-Farm Network,” said Tom Oswald, ISA president and farmer from Cleghorn. “The On-Farm Network is a trusted source for helping farmers continuously improve their practices, which ultimately benefits all Iowans. ISA members and staff served as a resource and voice of reason on this and many other issues important to farmers during the legislative session.”

After six years of work, the legislature finally passed a 10cent fuel tax increase. A portion of which will go toward increased funding for rural roads and bridges. The bill also pro-

Snagging shells Dear Heloise: I often have been frustrated to find small bits of EGGSHELLS in the bottom of the bowl when I have cracked eggs to bake something. I tried using my finger or a spoon and did not get anywhere. Then I tried a clean cotton swab. It very easily grabs the eggshell piece, and you can drag it up the side of the bowl without a problem on the first try. — Mary Ann P., Mobile, Ala. This will work, but it could “contaminate” the dish. However, as long as you are cooking or baking the eggs, there should not be a problem. Do try this, though: Use a fork (plastic seemed to work better for me) rather than a spoon or knife. It lets the egg slip through but holds the piece of shell. A wooden spoon works well, too. The trick is to move it up the side of the bowl SLOWLY, so the shell doesn’t slip away. — Heloise FREEZING HERBS Dear Heloise: John C. suggested freezing parsley in water ice cubes for later use. What a grand idea!

I’m wondering if that technique also can be used for

National Digest

No-hitter NEW YORK (AP) — Chris Heston couldn’t recall ever throwing a no-hitter, not in youth baseball, not in the minor leagues and certainly not in the majors. Now he was three outs away.

“I definitely threw more in the backyard than I have in real life, that’s for sure,” he said.

He plunked Anthony Recker on the left shoulder with his first pitch in the ninth inning. Then the 27-year-old rookie righthander, filling a gap this year on the San Francisco Giants’ pitching staff, settled down again, working the strike zone in and out, up and down, just as he had with catcher Buster Posey all night long.

Making the 13th start of his big league career, Heston threw called third strikes past pinch-hitter Danny Muno, Curtis Granderson and Ruben Tejada, completing a 5-0 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night and the major leagues’ first no-hitter since Washington’s Jordan Zimmermann on the final day of the 2014 regular season.

Royal gem MINNEAPOLIS — Chris Young carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning, Salvador Perez cracked an upper-deck home run and the Kansas City Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 2-0 on Tuesday night.

Young (5-2) issued three walks before Trevor Plouffe’s one-out triple in the seventh inning broke up the no-hit bid and knocked him out of the game. He had two strikeouts and snapped a twostart losing streak.

Mike Moustakas hit an RBI single with no outs in the first inning and Perez homered in the ninth for the Royals, who have won three in a row, including the first two games of this series to knock Minnesota out of first place in the AL Central.

Trevor May (4-4) fell to 0-3 in three career starts against Kansas City after giving up one run, seven hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out five.

CWS field OMAHA — The College World Series field is set.

Four SEC teams, two from the ACC and two others that are quite familiar with Omaha make up the eight-team field.

Arkansas, Florida, LSU and Vanderbilt come from the SEC while Miami (Fla.) and Virginia represent the ACC. TCU makes a return trip to Omaha, as does a longtime fixture at the CWS - Cal-State Fullerton.

Arkansas, under former Nebraska coach Dave Van Horn, makes their 8th appearance and first since 2012.

Defending champion Vanderbilt is also back for the second straight year and third overall.

St. Albert and Creighton graduate Brian O’Connor brings his Virginia team back to Omaha for the second straight season and fourth overall.

The Cavaliers finished second a year ago.

Seniors honored at Panther girls soccer banquet

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

Creston girls soccer closed the books on the careers of several key seniors at the team’s awards banquet Tuesday night at the residence of head coach Kim Lauffer.

Among them is four-year letterwinner Hanna Luther, voted the team’s most valuable player. She was also unanimously selected to the Hawkeye 10 all-conference first team, and joined by fellow senior Savannah Hartman on the conference’s all-academic team. Hartman was a three-year letterwinner.

Luther, a defensive player early in her career, was a midfielder until midseason this year, when she moved to Luther a middle forward position in the offense. It proved to be a good adjustment, as she helped the Panthers beat Riverside 2-0 in the next match, and ended as the team’s leading scorer with five goals.

Luther had 34 shots on goal among her 46 total shots. Hartman was the most active, with 35 shots on goal among her 49 total shots.

Shelby Palser had two goals with 29 shots on goal. Becca Ross and Kalan Bloodgood each had one goal. Hartman finished with two assists.

Other seniors were twoyear letterwinner Angelica

Panthers’ early lead slips away against SE Polk

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

PLEASANT HILL — Creston took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning here Tuesday, but saw that lead slip away, as Class 4A third-ranked Southeast Polk walked off with a 3-2 win over the Panthers.

Senior Conner Pals led the game off with a walk and moved to second base on a comebacker to the mound while the Panthers had a hit-and-run on.

Chase Shiltz then drew a walk and Jaden Driskell knocked a single to load the bases.

Sophomore Kadon Hulett hit the equivalent of a swinging bunt that wasn’t fielded, driving in Pals. Hulett Southeast Polk then threw the ball away down the first base line, which allowed Shiltz to score, leaving runners at second and third for the Panthers.

But the Panthers couldn’t add to the lead, instead settling for just the two runs against the defending Class 4A state champions coached by former Panthers Scott Belger and assistant Dave Hartman.

“After the first inning, their kid really settled in,” Creston head coach Steve Birchard said. “We only struck out five times. We put the ball in play and playing on the turf, it’s sort of nice to get in front of the

ball, make a play and make a throw. It’s easy. The positive thing is we didn’t strike out. We put the ball in play. That’s a step in the right direction.”

Cole Horton pitched the complete game for Southeast Polk, striking out five and walking just the two batters in the first inning.

He gave up only three Panther hits in the game.

“The kid’s a nice pitcher,” Birchard said. “He did a nice job.”

The Panthers put together one more scoring opportunity in the top of the seventh inning in a 2-2 game.

Dustin Merritt led off with a single, but a strikeout and an inning-ending double play ended the threat. Merritt’s single marked the first baserunner of the game for the Panthers since the first inning.

Southeast Polk scored the winning, walkoff run in the bottom of the seventh inning when the leadoff batter reached on a popup that fell in behind third base, moved to third base on a wild pitch and then scored on a sacrifice fly to left field.

“It was a close play at the plate,” Birchard said.

Shiltz took the loss for the Panthers, despite not giving up an earned run.

Hulett started the game and pitched 2 2/3 innings, giving up two runs, none earned, on three hits and one walk.

B r o d y F r a i n pitched 1 1/3 inFrain

nings of hitless relief.

Shiltz gave up one hit and one run on three walks and one hit batsman over his two-plus innings.

Still, despite the loss, Birchard found plenty of positives from his team’s performance Tuesday night against a ranked Class 4A opponent.

“Our pitching really did a nice job tonight,” Birchard said. “We pieced it together there, trying to conserve innings for later in the week. Kadon came out throwing strikes. Brody Frain did a nice job again, faced four batters, got four batters out. Chase didn’t give up any runs, so we kept him in the ballgame.

“We got up there and played hard, played solid defense. Just shore up a little stuff. We played solid. We’re showing improvement. We’re probably more encouraged by our play tonight than we are discouraged by losing a one-run game.”

Southeast Polk improved to 10-2 for the season with the win, while Creston dropped to 2-5.

LeBron, Cavaliers survive Warriors comeback, win Game 3 96-91

By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James came home last summer to win a championship — one like no other.

He’s two wins away.

Pushed by a crowd howling to see Cleveland’s 51-year title drought end, James scored 40 points, his new sidekick Matthew Dellavedova added 20 and the Cavaliers survived Golden State’s furious fourth-quarter comeback led by Stephen Curry for a 96-91 win over the Warriors on Tuesday night to take a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals.

James added 12 rebounds and eight assists in 46 minutes, his third stel-

lar performance in his fifth straight finals. The Cavs, who won Game 2 at Golden State for their first ever finals win, now have their first at Quicken Loans Arena. They’ll have a chance to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series in Game 4 on Thursday night.

“This is a great moment and my teammates need me,” James said. “It’s my job to go out and lead those guys, teach those guys, yell at those guys and then come back and tell them it’s OK, let’s move to the next play.”

New Iowa State coach Steve Prohm embraces high expectations

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

AMES (AP) — No pressure, coach!

Steve Prohm was introduced as the new coach at Iowa State on Tuesday, taking over a man so beloved in Ames that he was nicknamed “The Mayor.”

And the roster that Fred Hoiberg left behind before bolting for the Chicago Bulls?

It’s expected to compete for a national championship.

Prohm left Murray State on Monday for one of the most unique challenges in all of college bas- Prohm ketball.

The 40-year-old Prohm is following the enormously popular Fred Hoiberg and inheriting perhaps the most talented roster in school history.

“Someone asked me what attracted me to this job. I’ll be honest. The first thing? That team,” Prohm

said. “It’s been a dream of mine to coach at the (high-major) level.”

Prohm is coming off a wildly successful tenure at Murray State, where he won 104 games in just four seasons and emerged as one of the nation’s hottest young coaches.

“We all know that Fred left some big shoes to fill.

But I feel fully confident that Steve has the personality, and more importantly the skill set, to not only maintain but build on that level of excellence Cyclones fans have come to expect,” Iowa State President Steven Leath said. “I am thrilled with this hire.”

While the Cyclones were hopeful that Hoiberg w o u l d stay in Ames forever, the idea that Hoiberg m i g h t leave for the NBA Hoiberg became a reality for athletic director Jamie Pollard weeks before Hoiberg’s actual departure.

That gave Pollard plenty

of time to conduct a thorough search for a replacement. Prohm emerged from a pool of seven finalists, including six head coaches and current Iowa State assistant T.J. Otzelberger.

As Pollard addressed the seniors about how similar Prohm’s up-tempo offensive style and easygoing demeanor resembled Hoiberg’s, star Georges Niang nodded approvingly.

“What made Steve the choice? Fit. He’s a family man,” Pollard said. “He’s grounded. He has an understanding of who he is and who he’s not.”

Niang and fellow seniors Jameel McKay, Naz Long and Abdel Nader, along with juniors Monte Morris and Matt Thomas and transfers Hallice Cooke and Deonte Burton, make up one of the deepest and most experienced teams in the Big 12 or any other league.

Iowa State has reached the Sweet Sixteen just three times since 1986.

The Panthers were no-hit in the game and were only able to put together one scoring chance, as Tucker Flynn led off the second inning with a walk. An error in left field put Flynn at second base and Bryce

“We played a lot better than we have been,” Creston JV coach Ben Landers said. “First inning, we came out a little slow, but second inning we figured it out. We played pretty fundamentally sound defen-

sive baseball.”

directly in the eye for an impromptu pep talk while speaking with reporters.

They responded in kind, giving their new coach a standing ovation after he finished his opening remarks.

There will undoubtedly be an extended transition this summer between the players — many of whom remain extremely close to Hoiberg — and their new leader.

Prohm has to find a way to click with a team full of veteran players and proven winners, while also nav-

igating the jump from the Ohio Valley Conference to one of the best conferences in college basketball.

“I know he’s going to have his own track record here, just like Fred did,” Morris said. “I’ve seen a few tweets that were like ‘Who is this guy?’ But when you do the numbers, they’re similar. They match up. It’s the same style of play — and he’s a great guy ___ Follow Luke Meredith on Twitter: www.twitter. com/LukeMeredithAP

and Sam had great communication and played the Red Oak duo of Blomstedt and Rolenec very well!”

The Panther coach said both teams enjoyed the experience despite the hot conditions, with temperatures over 90 degrees Tuesday afternoon.

“I think we will continue to send co-ed teams each year,” she said. “It was a great and unique experience being the only state to host this type of tournament!”

Next season, it is simply an expected step for the Cyclones.

To be at a place that had great coach like Johnny Orr to your last coach, Fred Hoiberg, who everybody (talks) about replacing him. I’m not here to replace him,” Prohm said.

“I’m here to learn from him and use him as a resource and hopefully benefit from all the success he’s had here.”

Prohm seemed to get off on the right foot with his players, looking them

Game 3 away.

The Cavs led 92-83 with 51 seconds to go, but got careless with the ball and Curry heated up.

The league’s MVP finally found his shooting touch in the fourth quarter, scoring 17 points as the Warriors, who Curry trailed by 20 in the third quarter, refused to go away. Golden State got a huge lift from reserve David Lee, but they rode Curry, who made five 3-pointers — his last with 18.9 seconds to pull the Warriors within 9491.

Cleveland then caught a break when referee Danny Crawford blew an inadvertent whistle with 17.5 seconds to go after Golden State appeared to force a turnover. The officials, who have come under scrutiny for several missed calls in the series, then reviewed the play and it was clear that Klay Thompson was out of bounds when he made contact with the ball that Dellavedova was holding in his hands.

James was fouled and made two free throws with 16.8 seconds left.

On Golden State’s last possession, A n d r e James Iguodala appeared to get fouled on a 3-point

attempt and the Cavs pulled down the rebound to close out a win that nearly slipped away.

“We’ve got some learning to do,” James said. “I’ve always said about this team, the best teacher in life is experience. And that last minute and a half, we’ve got a lot to learn from.”

After the final horn, Warriors coach Steve Kerr came on the floor and gave an earful to Crawford and the rest of his crew, Marc Davis and Derrick Stafford.

Curry finished with 27 points, Iguodala 15 and Lee, who didn’t play in Games 1 or 2, had 11.

James, who has had to play without injured AllStars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, once again was helped by Dellavedova, the pesky Australian guard who hounded Curry for three quarters, dived on the floor for loose balls and came up with a huge three-point play, flinging in a layup with 2:27 left to put the Cavs up 84-80.

After two overtime games in Oakland, Game 3 didn’t have quite the same last-second drama, but it didn’t lack any intensity as players were sprawled on the floor fighting for loose balls like the Browns and 49ers scrambling for fumbles.

The Cavs seemed to take control in the third, building their 20-point lead with a breathtaking 12-0 run that included 3-pointers

by James and J.R. Smith.

Curry ended the spurt with a 3-pointer, the Warriors closed within 15 entering the fourth and they opened the final period with a 13-2 blast to make it 74-68.

And when Curry dropped a step-back 3, Golden State

was within four and closing fast. His layup made it 7976 and Curry missed a potential game-tying before Dellavedova and James combined on a gorgeous alley-oop. But Golden State wasn’t finished, and Curry, who went just 2 of 15 on 3s in Game 2, put on the kind of shooting display that has made him one of the game’s most captivating players before the Warriors ran out of time.

“Those 3’s Steph had in that fourth quarter, those are the same ones that he missed in the first three quarters,” James said. “He’s just a great shooter.”

As if Cleveland didn’t have enough injuries, Iman Shumpert, one of the team’s top defenders, hurt his left shoulder in the first quarter after running into a clean screen set by Warriors forward Draymond Green. It’s the same shoulder Shumpert injured while he was with New York earlier this season, sidelining him for six weeks.

Shumpert returned midway through the second quarter, knocking down a 3-pointer to put the Cavs ahead by seven but he played virtually with one arm the rest of the way.

James wanted Cleveland’s crowd to be louder than he’s ever heard, and from the moment they entered the building, Cavs fans were in an uproar.

They chanted “Del-ly, Del-ly” during warmups and alternated hollering “Let’s Go Cavs!” and “De-fense” on nearly every possession.

Now two wins from a title, Cleveland is only going to get louder.

US to send 400-plus more troops to train Iraqis WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is about to announce the U.S. will send more troops to Iraq to boost the training of local forces, officials said Wednesday, in a response to recent setbacks at the hands of the Islamic State and Baghdad’s appeals for more help.

Fewer than 500 troops are to be sent, said the officials, who were not authorized to provide the information by name in advance of the announcement and spoke only on condition of anonymity.

Under the expected plan, the number of U.S. training sites in Iraq would increase

from four to five, enabling a larger number of Iraqis to join the fight against the Islamic militant group. Most of the fighters would be Sunni tribal volunteers.

The decision comes just days after President Barack Obama met with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on the sidelines of a summit of major economies in Germany.

The plan does not signal a shift in strategy, and questions remain about the Shiite-led Iraqi government’s ability to recruit more fighters to be trained, especially among Sunni tribesmen.

Obama on Monday said he

had called on Abadi to allow more Sunnis to fight the Islamic State “We’ve got more training capacity than we have recruits,” Obama said.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Tuesday that as more security forces are trained, Iraq will need more recruits to take their place. “We would like to see them do more of that,” Earnest said.

Obama has ruled out sending U.S. ground combat forces to Iraq. There now are nearly 3,100 U.S. troops there in training, advising, security and other support roles.

House searches resume near prison where 2 killers escaped WILLSBORO, N.Y. (AP) — Police plan to resume searching homes located near the maximum-security prison in northern New York where two killers escaped using power tools, authorities said Wednesday as they renewed their plea for help from the public.

State Police said the fifth day of searching will entail going from house to house in Dannemora, where David Sweat and Richard Matt cut their way out of the Clinton Correctional Facility. The house searches aren’t the result of any new leads and law enforcement is retracing its steps made soon after the escape, troopers said.

“They’ll be doing a 100 percent sweep from the prison right out, see how that goes,” said David Favro, the sheriff for Clinton County, where the prison is located, about 20 miles from the Canadian border.

Law enforcement officials reiterated their plea for the public’s help in reporting anything unusual in the area since the prison break, which was discovered over the weekend.

“We don’t want them out searching the woods,” Favro said. “But if you’re sitting on your porch, get your binoculars out and see if you see something unusual.”

A search Tuesday in a rural town about 30 miles from the prison turned up no sign of the convicts.

The search was prompted by reports of two men seen walking late Monday during a driving rainstorm along a road in Willsboro, near Lake Champlain.

Hundreds of law enforcement officers swept through the small Adirondack foothills town. Searchers walked shoulder to shoulder, wearing bulletproof vests and carrying sidearms as they went through hilly

woods, fields and swamps, checking every home, garage, shed and outbuilding, then yelling, “Clear!” when there were no signs of the inmates.

By early evening, it appeared the sweep had come up empty, and there was no confirmation from police that the escaped convicts had been there. State Police said more than 400 corrections and other law enforcement officers were in the area and planned to go door to door, checking homes and seasonal camps.

Sweat, 34, and Matt, 48, cut through a steel wall, broke through bricks and crawled through a steam pipe before emerging through a manhole outside the prison grounds.

They were discovered missing early Saturday after stuffing their beds with clothes to fool guards on their rounds and leaving behind a taunting note: “Have a nice day.”
