Why did Michael Brown School shooting occur where it did? board FERGUSON, Mo. — Long before the nation rested its collective conscience on the protests along West Florissant Avenue, there was a different mobilization going on.

Hundreds of people were moving out of their urban neighborhoods to this north St. Louis County suburb seeking a safe and affordable place to live.

They found it in an isolated corner of Ferguson that was flush with sprawling apartment complexes.

Far from Ferguson’s leafy residential streets and quaint downtown, many people didn’t even know the apartments were part of the city until young Michael Brown was shot and killed there Aug. 9.

But the police knew.

After decades of relative calm and stability, the apartments have become a tinderbox for crime. Canfield Green Apartments and the nearby Oakmont and Northwinds complexes are a study of the slow encroachment of poverty and social distress into what had been suburban escapes.

Angela Shaver has witnessed that sea change since she moved into Canfield Green Apartments 20 years ago. The state employee said she raised a prom queen there and sent her off to college.

There used to be a swimming pool. Now, there’s a bullet hole in the door below her.

That shooting, and many others, happened long before all the vigil candles melted in the middle of the street for Brown.

Even as Shaver explained the frequency of gunfire, she was cut off by a sudden blast coming from Northwinds Apartments, a hulking spread with more than 400 low-income units.

Shaver paused to listen. No screams. No more shots. She picked up the

Anthony Green, 20, said that when the shooting starts, he goes into his Northwinds apartment near W. Florissant in Ferguson, Mo. on Thursday, Aug. 14, 2014. The Canfield Green apartment complex where Michael Brown was killed is just around the corner.

GLOWING BRIGHT RED WITH CRIME Ferguson’s crime and poverty rate is lower than some of the other North County municipalities.

But, the small southeast corner of the city where Northwind apartments are glows bright red on crime maps. That area along West Florissant Avenue and just east of it accounted for 18 percent of all serious crimes reported between 2010 and August of 2012, according to a St. Louis Post-Dispatch analysis of crime data provided by St. Louis County. interview where she’d left off.

“I hate to say I got used to them,” she said of the gunshots.

Ferguson’s crime and poverty rate is lower than some of the other North County municipalities. But the small southeast corner of the city where the apartments are glows bright red on crime maps.

That area along West Florissant Avenue and just east of it accounted for

18 percent of all serious crimes reported between 2010 and August of 2012, according to a St. Louis Post-Dispatch analysis of crime data provided by St. Louis County.

The area accounted for 28 percent of all burglaries, 28 percent of all aggravated assaults, 30 percent of all motor vehicle thefts and 40 percent of all robberies reported in the city of 21,000 people.

It’s a cluster of densely

populated complexes that stand apart from the predominantly single-family streets of Ferguson.

On a map, the area sticks out like an appendage, one that was added to Ferguson by annexation. Many of the children who live in the complexes aren’t even part of the Ferguson-Florissant school system.

Adding to that isolation, police have blocked off nearly all access roads to the apartments with concrete barriers, fences and gates.

The nearly all-white police force has struggled to maintain control and respect from many AfricanAmericans who live there as officers try to clamp down on crime.

There is a common perception that police stop

During Creston School Board’s regularly scheduled meeting Monday, Creston Superintendent Steve McDermott gave an update on the bus barn’s progress.

Construction on the bus barn site began in June.

The building will be located northeast of the original bus barn site.

The bus barn was destroyed during a tornado that ripped through Creston April 2012.

McDermott gave the board and administrators an update concerning the progress of the bus barn.

“Footings were poured, set and cured before the recent rains, and that was very fortunate,” McDermott said. “Initial electrical and water services are being run at this time.”

In the bus barn area, there are sections of concrete that are being McDermott repaired or replaced. The sections of concrete are part of the school driveways and parking lots.

“Some of those repair areas are worked on by Brieholz (Construction Company) because they brought heavy equipment in to work on that elementary and middle school safe room, so some of the damage belongs to them,” McDermott said.

However, some of the damage belongs to the school district.

“Once we began to tear it out and replace some of it, we found it didn’t have adequate rerod, if any.

It wasn’t poured as deep as it was supposed to be.

It didn’t have rock underneath like it was supposed to,” McDermott said. “However, we’re getting those areas replaced and repaired.”

Code

After a 2013 ruling by the state fire marshal’s office, it was decided that to follow state code, the bus barn needed to have a concrete floor, instead of the originally planned gravel.

The change increased the cost for the floor.

No arrest for Gov. Perry, Commission to vote on water rules but mug shot slated AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas judge opted Monday not to issue an arrest warrant against Gov.

DES MOINES (AP) — The commission that oversees water quality regulations in Iowa is considering adoption of rules that align state regulations with those imposed by the federal Clean Water Act. The Environmental Protection Commission’s proposed rules primarily give the Iowa Department of Natural Resources authority to issue permits that regulate manure handling for livestock farms shown to discharge manure into waterways.

Permits aren’t required, however,

and environmental groups say the rules are too weak and too friendly to livestock farms.

Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement wants all farms with spills to be required to get a permit.

The group also wants five members of the nine-member, governorappointed commission to abstain from voting because they have financial interests in livestock farming.

A vote on the rules is scheduled for this morning.

SCHOOL BOARD:

Deaths Jeanne Steffen Stuart

Jeanne Steffen, 83, of Stuart died Aug. 12, 2014.

A memorial service for Jeanne will be held at a later date. Duhn Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Jeanne Marie Steffen, daughter of Hazel (Silverthorne) and Harvey Rostat, was born Jan. 2, 1931, on the family farm near Greenfield.

Jeanne attended school in Greenfield. Upon her graduation, she went to Iowa State, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in home economics.

Jeanne taught for a year in Dallas Center before moving to Griswold in 1953.

On June 20, 1954, Jeanne married Wayne Steffen.

Jeanne continued to teach in Griswold until 1962.

They moved to Greenfield in 1973.

Jeanne ran the congregate meal site for several years.

While working toward her master’s degree in special education from Northwest Missouri State University, she began teaching at Greenfield in 1977. She taught there until her retirement in 1993.

Jeanne continued to live in Greenfield until a few years ago when she moved to Stuart.

Jeanne served as the National Auxiliary President of the Second Indian Head Division Association and was a member of the P.E.O. chapter in Greenfield.

Jeanne is survived by her husband Wayne Steffen of Greenfield; children, Jon (wife Jodi) Steffen of Creston, Mark Steffen (partner Mike Paonessa) of Chicago, Ill., and Jayne (husband Kevin) Mazurkiewicz of Henderson, Nev.; grandchildren, Tabitha, Zachary, Kyle and Christopher; many other relatives and friends.

Jeanne was preceded in death by her parents and sister Dorothy Wirtz.

people without reason.

“If you stay here, they basically think you are a thug,” said Gerard Fuller, 19, who is headed to Arkansas Baptist College on a basketball scholarship.

The Brown shooting dug into that nerve. The response seems to have as much to do with socio-economic factors as it does opinions about race relations and police brutality in communities across the country that have struggled to integrate.

In St. Louis County alone, African-American poor are six times as likely as white poor to live in areas of concentrated poverty.

The apartment complexes located on the fringe of Ferguson — the self-proclaimed “Community of Choice” — give a glimpse of what that looks like.

The eruption of looting and violent protests and the national attention it drew give a glimpse of the implications.

——— Ferguson is one of St. Louis County’s older suburbs, dating to the late 1850s, when a farmer named William B. Ferguson donated land for a

“The insurance company has agreed to pay 57 percent of the cost of that upgrade from the gravel,” McDermott said.

McDermott also said there will be a cost reduction because less footings will be needed because there will be no gravel to hold in place.

“As close as we can tell, the total district cost of that concrete back there, that upgrade, when it’s all said and done, is about $20,000 over what the gravel would have been,” McDermott said.

Savings It was also decided to have a dry sprinkler system in the building because of the gravel and lack of a heat source. But, since then, concrete will now be

station platform on what was then the North Missouri Railroad. It was a whistle stop on the road to the farming village of Florissant.

By 1894, when Ferguson became a city, it had about 1,000 residents, and had become a commuting suburb for families who could afford to escape the noise and soot of St. Louis. It would go on to have periods of exponential growth.

In the 1960s, Ferguson annexed the land where Brown would be shot. He was walking back home to his grandmother’s apartment in the Northwinds complex.

Maine-based Eagle Point Companies bought Northwinds in 2005 and poured $12.5 million into refurbishing the complex, thanks in part to low-income housing credits.

Part of the deal was that to be eligible to live there, residents can earn no more than 60 percent of the median income in the area.

Northwinds is one of 31 affordable housing properties like it that Eagle Point owns across the U.S. ——— ©2014 St. Louis Post-Dispatch Distributed by MCT

portant to the board and administrators to save money during the construction.

“We’re trying to save, and still build the building the right way, so I want to make sure that I’m reporting to you as this stuff goes on so you have some background,” McDermott said.

The bus barn is expected to be completed by the Thanksgiving holiday, before snow falls.

“We’re very pleased with the progress to date. We actually have movement,” McDermott said. “We have steel ordered, we actually have the building coming in three to four weeks. Finally, there’s movement out there.”

In other school board news: • The board members decided on educational goals, with focuses on student in-

teractions, math, reading, science and 21st-century skills.

• New positions were filled in Creston Community School District: Tara Waigand as first-grade teacher, Don Ray as high school math teacher, Eric Ehlen as Creston Middle School wrestling coach, Christina Hurlbert as cook, Jhona Lyn Gallo as paraprofessional, Karinna Voinea as summer school transition teacher, Cindy Moss as summer school transition paraprofessional, Kelly Wander as crossing guard, Tressa Miller as football and basketball cheerleading and Jerry Hartman as seventh grade assistant football coach.

• The board members approved 29 students to open enroll into Creston Community Schools.

added and the sprinkler system will now be a wet system.

“When we were required by code to go to the concrete, we had to bring heat back through,” McDermott said. “So then, we moved to a wet system because it could be thawed all year back there. So, there’s going to be some cost savings going from that dry system to a wet system.”

The heating system will also not increase costs. According to McDermott, it has been established that a radiant heat system, which heats the floor, and the heat will then radiate throughout the building, will cost about the same as using engine block heaters on the buses during the winter and allowing them to idle before routes are run.

Perry on Friday became the first Texas governor since 1917 to be indicted, and is facing charges of coercion and official oppression that carry a maximum sentence of 109 years in prison for carrying out a threat to veto funding for the state’s public integrity unit last summer.

The governor has emphatically stood by his veto and denied all wrongdoing. The judge overseeing the case, Republican Bert Richardson, decided against issuing an arrest warrant and instead the special prosecutor appointed to the matter, Michael McCrum, was planning a simple legal summons.

That still means a booking is in Perry’s future.

Buzbee said he didn’t know exactly when that would occur but that the governor has no intention of hiding: “That’s going to be something, that when he goes in to be booked and take his picture that we’re going to let you know about.”

OPINION Have you noticed the change?

I need to start this column out with an announcement.

Perhaps you noticed.

Last week, the letters AP reappeared on the front page of the Creston News Advertiser. We are an Associated Press newspaper again. This is Christmas come early for me. Why? AP wire service will provide you with much more timely, in-depth coverage of state and national news than our former service — McClatchy Tribune (MCT) – which frankly just wasn’t getting the job done.

The move to AP excites me because our editorial staff works hard each week to provide our subscrib-

ers with the most important and entertaining stories in southwest Iowa. We need a wire service that does the same statewide.

We’re happy to be back with AP and believe you’ll see the difference, too.

I know the professional sports enthusiasts — who follow MLB, NBA and NFL daily — will like having AP again as we will now

Argus Hamilton

HOLLYWOOD—Happy Wednesday, everybody, and God Bless America.

The Comedy Store held a hilarious tribute to Robin Williams Sunday. In the late Seventies a few of us lived in a mansion owned by the club. One morning Yakov Smirnov came in and cleaned off our coffee table with a wet sponge thinking we’d been up all night eating doughnuts.

Alex Rodriguez bought Meryl Streep’s home in the Hollywood Hills Friday. What a great pair of actors. Meryl was voted the Oscar for Sophie’s Choice, Kramer vs.

Kramer and the Iron Lady, and ARod was so convincing in Clean As a Whistle that baseball suspended him for a year.

I can smell a battle coming

Dear citizens

From Jim Stalker

Please do not allow the city to sell the Lincoln School out from under the Library Board. It is a public building that the people paid for and belongs to us. It is not right to sell it to a private developer for a low amount, so that they can turn around and charge our citizens to use it again. Then the money goes off to Omaha.

The building was bought from the school district for the purpose of a new library. Then the city council asked the library to use it.

I can smell a battle coming.

The city has chosen to let Lincoln School go to whomever wants to bid on it. I hope the library board realizes that as soon as the city steps out, and if the library board decides to get into the bidding, the utilities will be on them. No more “we want to do this and that.” Now it’ll be, “How will we pay for our librarian and our lights, and heat, and all those little things that were under the umbrella of city government?” Welcome to the real world.

We like to hear from you!

From Brian Zachary Creston

The Library Board has been paying for the utilities at the Lincoln School. I would think this would be enough to seal their claim to it.

The Library Board has raised substantial money towards its renovation, and has initiated partnerships with The Learning Center and Creston Arts to provide expanded programming to go along with an appropriate sized library.

The resulting community center will be beautiful and amazing and draw people from inside and outside Creston. The educational and cultural possibilities offered to the citizens of Creston will far out-

weigh any monetary gain from the school’s sale. The benefits of the library will be offered to thousands of families of all incomes, and the green space will remain for the public to use. In opposition to this, benefits of the proposed sale go to the occupants and the developer, a small number by comparison, with no public green space.

Thank you for your careful consideration of this matter. Please give your support to the Library Board. They are attempting to provide above adequate library services without a major tax burden.

Work toward the library, cultural center should continue From Joshua Borgmann Creston

In recent weeks, there has been much discussion over whether the Lincoln School should be sold to an Omaha developer or used for the much needed Creston Area Library and Cultural Center. I must stress that work toward the new library and cultural center should continue whether at Lincoln School or at another location.

Currently, the needs of young educated professionals in Creston are not being met. My own story can serve as just one example of this. When my wife and I moved to the Creston area about a decade ago, it was hard to imagine that it was supposed to be a kind of regional hub. There were few recre-

Yes, you read that correctly. Harper says daddy don’t thanks to some encouragement from Grand-Momica Fastenow.

We’ve introduced her to a potty chair. And, we’re working on her ABC’s now.

ational and entertainment options for people in their twenties or thirties who didn’t have children. At the time, the disc golf course, skate park, art gallery and businesses like Adams Street Espresso and the Upper Crust didn’t even exist. We didn’t want to spend all our time in a bar, and we didn’t see our faith represented among the churches in Creston. We often felt socially isolated and unwelcome in the community. Almost a decade later, I am just now starting to feel that we have a couple of close friends here, most of them “outsiders,” as well.

Over the past decade, I have witnessed many young professionals at my workplace and in the community as a whole arrive eager to contribute, only to leave within a year or two, citing experiences

similar to my own. The few that stay often end up spending their time, money, and energy in Des Moines or Omaha or in one of the smaller surrounding communities like Greenfield, Red Oak or Winterset that have better facilities and programming. Greenfield has the Warren Cultural Center, Red Oak has a stunning Performing Arts Center, Winterset has an arts center and a new modern library. Even tiny Stanton has managed to modernize its library. Why should a regional hub like Creston lag behind?

I don’t think it should. Doing nothing or believing that the library only needs a little more space, will send the message that Creston is not interested in meeting the needs of a group that they claim to want to attract.

Creston

Shortly after I moved here in 1995, the Creston Library was a major issue facing citizens. Even then, the library board was telling us that the Matilda J. Gibson Memorial Library building was inadequate in space and accessibility for current needs. Renovations were eventually made to the existing building, but plans for an addition were abandoned because of the expense involved.

When the proposal to move the library to the former Lincoln School first surfaced, I was puzzled. Wasn’t this question settled the last time around?

I live only a few blocks from the Gibson Library, but I have no emotional attachment to the attractive building. I spent the first 18 years of my life in an Arkansas small town that still tugs at my heartstrings, despite many changes, including a new library. (Crossett, Arkansas, was founded by three Iowa men at the beginning of the 20th Century.)

I believe those who have made public gifts should be remembered and honored, and I value old buildings. My first pastorate involved the restoration of a fire-damaged New England church built in 1885.

When I moved here I bought a Victorian “fixer-upper” and renovated it consistent with its original architecture. New construction is not always a better alternative, and

both these projects benefit others in the long run.

This was the personal background I brought to library board informational meeting held at Lincoln School, with a tour of the premises afterwards. It became clear why the board had chosen this path to fulfill its responsibilities to local residents.

Board President Ann Coulter made a detailed, factual, and convincing presentation comparing Creston facilities with others around the state. She answered all questions, including mine. I knew she was a competent director of Southwestern’s library, but still the breadth and depth of her knowledge “wowed” me.

This plan and necessary fundraising efforts have drawn support and substantial gifts, but also opposition and criticism. The offer from a development company to buy the Lincoln School property has brought the city council to a crucial — and immediate — decision.

I am grateful for the work and vision of the Library Board of Trustees: Ann Coulter, Calvin Huffman, Connie Maxson, Jean Ide (county representative), Jeromy Brown and Councilwoman Nancy Loudon. The board’s membership is balanced in many ways, but especially strong in educational backgrounds.

Mayor Woods and the city council can be thanked for appointing and approving these people. A majority of members are long-time

Union County residents and have served the community for years, even decades, on behalf of us all.

Jeromy Brown is a new member who brings knowledge from other locals.

Public libraries have been at the heart of American education and life-long learning. That will not change as long as we value knowledge, information, and wisdom.

But libraries have changed and are changing. If there comes a day when printed, bound books are obsolete (I hope not); then libraries will hold E-books or computers or whatever comes after them as repositories of historical, creative, and cultural knowledge.

Change is not easy for any of us.

But instead of criticizing those who have practical expertise as well as vision, let us be grateful for their dedication. Let us find a new way to honor the Gibson legacy while we open our minds to an exciting opportunity: creating a library designed for new resources and technology, accessibility, and expanded multi-generational programming.

In regard to the proposed housing development, Creston’s housing needs are great. But they should be addressed thoughtfully and with adequate time to consider all the consequences of any particular offer. In addition, the city council will be breaking faith with its own appointed board if the Lincoln School property is sold to a developer.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday he expects Democrats to maintain control of Senate in the fall elections but acknowledged things could change between now and

then.

“If the election were held today we’d be in the majority without any question, but the election is not today,” Reid, D-Nev., told reporters at his office in Reno.

The Senate currently is made up of 53 Democrats, 45 Republicans and two independents who vote with the Democratic caucus.

Reid said he’s most concerned about the open seat in South Dakota, where longtime Democrat Tim Johnson is stepping down.

“We are going to lose in

South Dakota, more than likely,” he said Monday.

Reid said he believes Democrats are ahead in Alaska, Colorado, Michigan, Iowa, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Arkansas.

“In Louisiana, we are trying to get to 50 percent plus 1,” he said. “We are holding our own in Georgia and in Kentucky. We are doing really well in Montana.”

“They have to pick up six seats and ... it’s not going to be easy for them to pick up six seats,” Reid said about the GOP.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Officials at 22 Iowa county jails have stopped accepting requests from federal immigration authorities to hold people in jail without a court order, the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa said Monday.

It has been common practice for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to ask county sheriffs to hold individuals brought in for traffic violations or other state or local infractions if the individual is suspected of not having proper immigration documents.

Many local authorities have complied with the ICE detention requests even though no charges were filed against the individuals and no court order was signed by a judge.

“They have resulted in the illegal imprisonment of countless individuals — including U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and Latinos in particular — often without any charges pending, sometimes for days or weeks after they should have been released from custody,” said Erica Johnson, the ACLU of Iowa’s immigrants’ rights and racial justice advocate.

Research from Syracuse University indicates that nearly 3,000 people were held on ICE detainers in Iowa in during 2012 and 2013 and that 63 percent of those individuals had no

PRIVATE AUCTION

criminal history. Most were held in 74 county jails while a few others were held by cities or at state prison facilities. Polk County led the state with 488 immigration detainees and Linn County had 206 individuals held.

The ACLU of Iowa recently sent letters to sheriffs in Iowa’s 99 counties telling them that they are not required to honor ICE retainers without a warrant and they could be held liable if sued for violating the U.S. Constitution.

The 3rd U.S Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia ruled in March that ICE cannot force local

authorities to hold people without a warrant. A federal judge in Portland, Oregon, in an April ruling citing the circuit court’s decision said Clackamas County, which held a woman for ICE can be sued for violating her constitutional rights because it could have declined to keep her in jail.

ENTERTAINMENT Security is in the chips Dear Readers: Have you received a new credit card lately? Does it have a CHIP in it?

These newer credit cards have a microchip as well as a magnetic strip. And they are more secure than the ones with just the magnetic strip.

The good news is that the microchip is very, very hard to counterfeit. Some even have a personal identification number (PIN) to punch in when using the card. This makes it extremely difficult for criminals to copy it! So take a look at your credit cards to see if there is a silver holograph on the front or the back. Yep, it has a chip! If you are uncertain, call the financial institution that issued the card and ask if the card has a microchip! — Heloise SAVINGS BONDS Dear Heloise: I started buying savings bonds for my nieces and nephews 20 years ago for their birthdays and holidays. These used to be popular gifts, but they don’t seem to be as popular today.

My hint is to let people know that you can no longer buy savings bonds at banks.

You can only buy them online now. — Charlie M. in Connecticut I used to do the very same

Hints from Heloise thing! However, as of Jan. 1, 2012, you can only buy electronic gift bonds online. Go to www.treasurydirect.gov for instructions on purchasing these bonds. You first have to open a TreasuryDirect account online. You need to know the recipient’s full legal name and Social Security number or taxpayer ID number, and the recipient must have a TreasuryDirect account and number.

You can, however, buy PAPER Series I (as in “eye”) savings bonds, using your income-tax refund! How about that! You need to fill out and attach Form 8888. You don’t even need a checking account.

Frankly, for what you and I were doing, this sounds like it might be a little work, especially if the child is a baby!

You can, however, open a savings account at most banks and other financial institutions for the child, but you control it until the child reaches a certain age. Add a few bucks when you can, and it will add up! Can we say “college,”

RUBBER END Dear Heloise: When a pair of rubber gloves from the kitchen gets a hole or wears out, I don’t throw out the entire glove. Instead, I cut off the fingertips. They can be used on the ends of brooms, mops or anything you place against a wall. I’ve even put them on the ends of pot handles for an extra grip (just make sure it is not a handle that gets hot). — Lily D. in Utah KITCHEN HELPER Dear Heloise: I have found that a pair of long tongs with silicone tips works very well to BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker reach items from the top shelf in the kitchen cabinet. — Angie P., via email Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O.

Horoscope Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Conversations with family members, especially females, will be mutually sympathetic today. This is a good day to sit down with a cup of coffee and share your feelings with someone.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your imagination is heightened today, which will allow you to be successful in creating activities. You also might see new ways to express yourself.

(You will spend a lot of time daydreaming.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) If shopping today, you might be tempted to buy luxurious items. Make sure you keep your receipts.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with fuzzy, idealistic Neptune. Because this makes you sympathetic to everyone, look for an opportunity to practice a kindness.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Solitude in beautiful surroundings will appeal to you today. You need a little peace and quiet to restore and replenish yourself in this busy world.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A conversation with a female acquaintance or friend will be meaningful for you today, because each of you will open up to the other. You feel sympathetic to this person.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Someone in a position of authority might not have the right take on who you are. Be ready to clear up any misperceptions or confusion if this happens.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Part of you wants to get away from all of it today. You want to escape somewhere where you can relax, feel pampered and be free from worries. Ha! Don’t we all?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) When making important decisions about inheritances or how to divide shared property, make sure you don’t give away the farm. It’s good to be generous, but you have to have a healthy self-interest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You have to compromise with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign.

This only happens for two days every month — no biggie.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Work to get better organized at your job or where you live, because this will make you feel better. Obviously, it will help you to function better as well.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a wonderful, creative, romantic day for you. Enjoy the arts, social diversions and playful times with children. You feel particularly sensitive to the sufferings of young people.

YOU BORN TODAY Although quiet and soft-spoken, you are

fun-loving, imaginative and lively. Sometimes something in your past seems to control your life. Good news! This is a year of accumulation, and perhaps one of the most powerful years of your life. You will reap what you have sown, because it’s a time of fruition and a good time to buy and sell.

Traffic cameras observe, speed up Iowa traffic WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — New traffic cameras are helping move Iowa commuters through the Des Moines area.

The Des Moines Register reports that nearly 50 stateof-the-art cameras along West Des Moines roads have reduced traffic.

The city plans to add more 18 more cameras on a heavily traveled corridor next year.

A West Des Moines traffic engineer says travel speeds have increased,

while delays and stops have decreased. He also says it seems there have been less crashes.

Studies showed travel time has been reduced by 24 percent.

The cameras are located at major intersections throughout the city. They observe the flow of vehicle and change traffic lights when backups are detected.

Des Moines and other cities in Iowa also plan to add their own cameras soon.

Ames ranked No. 1 on best college towns list AMES (MCT) — Ames has added another recognition to its growing collection of awards and honors: best college town in the country.

On Monday, Livability. com released its annual list of the Top 10 Best College Towns in the country, which put Ames on top.

Livability.com, owned by the Tennessee-based Journal Communications, is a website that provides data for small- and medium-sized cities. It also compiles a variety of best-of lists based on the data it collects.

This is the fifth year Livability.com has published the list of top college town. It’s Ames’ first appearance on it.

Dan Culhane, president and CEO of the Ames Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development, said it wasn’t a big surprise given the city’s high recognitions in the past.

“These rankings never grow tiresome,” he said.

Other towns on the list included well-known college towns such as Charlottesville, Va., and Champaign, Ill., and some lesser-known communities such as Moscow, Idaho, home of the University of Idaho, and Oxford, Ohio, home of Miami University.

This year, cities were divided up by their college’s Football Bowl Subdivision and then ranked within each group before compiling the Top 10.

Livability.com lists Ames with a population just shy of 60,000 and a median income of $41,000.

Criteria for the list included percentage of 24- to 35-year-olds, walkability, affordable housing, entertainment venues, collegiate sports and student population.

More than half the population is college students — spring enrollment at Iowa State University was over 32,000 — and more than 18,000 people have at least a bachelor’s degree Culhane said for Ames to remain competitive in these kinds of lists, the city needs to work on alternative housing options for young professionals who have graduated college.

“There’s a good percentage of young people who are choosing to live somewhere else in central Iowa,” he said.

“There must be a wide variety of options here.”

Culhane also said the nightlife scene and more community amenities would help the city retain the young

people who may leave.

The strong bond between the university and the city is one of the strongest qualities of Ames, Culhane said.

Not every college town has a strong cooperative relationship between the two.

“Ames is dominated by a large, growing institution — Iowa State,” he said. “And there’s a diverse group of industries and services that support it in one way or another.”

Fayetteville, Ark., is the only city from last year to make the list this year, but not every town is new to the list. Charlottesville made the list in 2010; Champaign and Logan, Utah, made it in 2012; and Oxford charted in both 2011 and 2012.

However, none of those towns has achieved the number one spot, and last year’s top college town, Boulder, Colo., didn’t rank this year.

Last year’s list also included Madison, Wis., at number eight; Iowa City at number six; and Columbia, Mo., at number four.

Earlier this year, Livability.com released its list of the 100 Best Places to Live.

Charlottesville ranked number 27 and Ames was number 32. Top college towns Fayetteville and Tempe were also on the list.

Wacha getting closer to return for the St. Louis Cardinals

8

Atlanta snapped an 8-game road losing streak on Monday.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Manziel struggles LANDOVER, Md. — Johnny Manziel and Brian Hoyer didn’t make Mike Pettine’s decision any easier. Good luck picking a starting quarterback after this mess, coach.

Manziel struggled to hit open receivers and added another gesture to his repertoire — a middle finger apparently aimed at the Washington Redskins’ bench — while Hoyer completed only two passes in five series. Neither the hot-shot rookie nor the nondescript sixth-year veteran looked ready to claim a No. 1 NFL gig, failing to live up to the big-time setting of a final audition in the Cleveland Browns’ 24-23 Monday night loss to the Washington Redskins.

Pettine has said he plans to announce his regular season starter Tuesday.

His choices are Manziel, the No. 22 overall pick in the draft who completed 7 of 16 passes for 65 yards and an touchdown, and Hoyer, who was 2 for 6 for 16 yards.

And those stats were padded by series against the Redskins’ backups.

In the first quarter — when Washington’s starters were in the game — Manziel was 2 for 7 for 29 yards, while Hoyer was 0 for 2. Manziel was even mocked by Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo, who raised both hands and performed the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner’s “money” gesture after a sack by teammate Ryan Kerrigan.

Manziel appeared to have a message of his own for the Redskins. He raised the middle finger of his right hand as he jogged away from the Washington sideline after a play late in the third quarter.

Cyclone QB AMES — Paul Rhoads announced Sam Richardson as the starting quarterback for the Cyclones on Aug. 18 heading into the season opener against North Dakota State on Aug. 30.

“Sam will be our quarterback,” Rhoads said.

“He’s had a tremendous fall camp up until this point. He has displayed great leadership and been very much in control of our offense. His understanding of the schemes and his decision-making has grown a lot in the last two weeks, and more than anything, he’s throwing a great ball.”

Richardson is a redshirt junior listed at 6 feet 2 inches tall and 221 pounds. He was the undisputed starter heading into the 2013 season after a breakout game against Kansas during his redshirt freshman season locked him into the position.

He was hampered by injury midway through the season before the starting job was handed over to Grant Rohach for the final four games of the season.

New coach Lorensen takes over as SWCC AD

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@ crestonnews.com

Todd Lorensen, Southwestern Community College’s new men’s basketball coach, has also been named the new athletic director and fundraiser.

Lorensen succeeds Bill Krejci in overseeing SWCC’s 13 sports and athletic fundraising efforts. He has a master’s degree in business administration from Bellevue University in Bellevue, Neb., Lorensen and a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Grand View University in Des Moines.

In the past year he was employed

by Iowa Wesleyan College in Mount Pleasant as head men’s basketball coach and assistant sports informa-

tion director. Prior to that he was assistant men’s basketball coach for Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo., for two years and assistant men’s basketball coach at University of Nebraska-Omaha for three years.

“He’s been in athletics for eight years at the college level at four schools,” Krejci said, speaking to Lorensen’s preparation for the new duties. “He really understands the college scenario, how to go out and raise money, things like that. The other thing is, he’s not inundated with daily work like teaching. Like me, he’ll have time to spend on it.

Certain months are hectic when you’re coaching, but I just think he brings a lot of college experience and he’s seen a lot of different people operate in those roles.”

Lorensen, 29, agrees that he’s had opportunities to learn from good athletic administrators in his short career to date.

“No one comes in here and is able

to replace coach Krejci,” Lorensen said. “I know that I have huge shoes to fill. Thankfully, he’s more than willing to help me through that process. I have the rest of this month with him here on campus, and after that I know he’ll be there to pick up the phone when I need something.

He loves this community and this institution, and he’ll do everything he can to help me succeed.”

Krejci’s 36-year association with Southwestern will end after the home volleyball match on Aug. 27.

He will then join wife Teresa in Des Moines, where she has begun duties in her new position at Drake University.

Krejci has been athletic director/ fundraiser at the college since resigning as head baseball coach in September 1999.

During his time in this role he increased fundraising for athletics by establishing two annual events — the athletic fundraiser auction and the SWCC golf tournament — as

well as establishment of the Southwestern Athletic Booster Club.

Those sources, as well as other events, annually generate more than $50,000 for athletics.

Other athletic director duties involve hiring and supervision of coaches, and supervision of home athletic events. That includes staffing them with mostly students on work-study contracts. Officials are assigned and scheduled through the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) contracts.

Lorensen said he was able to learn under the legendary Lou Yacinich and his successor, Troy Plummer, at Grand View. As well, he was at UNO when former University of Nebraska football player Trev Alberts took over as AD, coming off a background as student-athlete and in business, but no experience in athletic administration.

“I know I have a ton to learn,” Lorensen said. “But I’m very excited to get started.”

Wacha getting closer to return; slumping Holliday back in lineup

By DAVID WILHELM

Belleville News-Democrat

ST. LOUIS — Michael Wacha inched closer to a return Monday when he threw 35 pitches in the bullpen.

The St. Louis Cardinals right-hander, who threw fastball and changeups, is on the disabled list with a stress fracture in his shoulder.

“I was expecting less,” St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. “They’re being aggressive, with a little more intensity. It’s really close to what we normally would see when he’s out there. It just looked real effortless when the ball was coming out of his hand.”

The Cardinals already have announced W a c h a will return as a starter when he’s able, probably in Septem- Wacha ber.

The math is easy to do.

His return would give St. Louis six starters, joining ace Adam Wainwright, Lance Lynn, Shelby Miller and newcomers John Lackey and Justin Masterson. It would enable Matheny to occasionally spell whoever most needs rest.

Wacha will need to face hitters before he’s ready to return, and the Cardinals are inclined to try to squeeze in a couple of starts for him before the minor-league season ends in two weeks.

“We’d like to get him in a game situation,” Matheny said.

If that doesn’t occur, Matheny pointed out that the Cardinals will have extra players at the bigleague level the first week of September, which suggests a simulated game could be in order.

Next up for Wacha, Matheny said, will be at least two more bullpens; the first is scheduled for Wednesday.

Careful with Holliday

.260, 48 points below his career mark.

Holliday is fighting a balky left knee and Matheny has decided to give the 34-yearold a few more in- Holliday nings off.

“There’s times you’re going to see him come out in the middle of the game when you might not normally,” Matheny said.

“That’s just when it starts to tighten up on him and gets kind of achy --and he thinks it’s hindering what he can do out there with his jumps (on defense) or how he finishes his swings.

We’re going to be cautious.”

Matheny said Holliday’s tender knee is related to his slump. Holliday first tweaked the knee Wednesday in Miami.

Martinez available Reliever Carlos Martinez didn’t arrive at Busch Stadium early enough Sunday to participate in the Cardinals’ 7-6 win over San Diego.

Martinez had been recalled f r o m C l a s s A A A Memphis w h e n Martinez K e v i n Siegrist was optioned before the contest.

Matheny said the Cardinals are apt to plug Martinez into seventh-inning situations as a bridge to Pat Neshek and Trevor Rosenthal.

“That seventh has kind of been a tough spot for us, depending on how it up left (and) right,” the manager said. Cincinnati “has got a lineup here with a lot of right-handed hitters.

You could see him coming in for a shorter stint.”

Matheny, however, said Martinez won’t be pigeonholed into that role, noting his ability to work multiple innings.

September callups

Left fielder Matt Holliday began Monday in an 0-for-18 slump that had dropped his average to

The Cardinals are in the early stages of discussing which prospects will join them when rosters can

swell to 40 players Sept. 1.

Players like Siegrist and fellow pitchers Tyler Lyons, Eric Fornataro, Jorge Rondon and Marco Gonzales, outfielder Randal Grichuk, shortstop Pete Kozma, second baseman Greg Garcia and first baseman Xavier Scruggs all are possible recalls.

“The only time it’s an inconvenience is when we have to go to Chicago and deal with that clubhouse,” Matheny said of visiting Wrigley Field, which the Cardinals will do during the final week of the regular season.

“Besides that,” Matheny said, “I like having the guys here, whether it’s young guys who had great seasons and deserve an opportunity to be here or it’s promising players we see being able to help us in the future.

“To be around this atmosphere and to be in a (playoff) push and to watch veteran guys who have been there and done that, how they keep grinding and going about their business is a positive. It’s an advantage for a young player.”

Phillips returns A favorite of Cardinals fans, Cincinnati second baseman Brandon Phillips, returned to the Reds lineup Monday. Phillips had not played since July 9 when he suffered a torn ligament in his left thumb.

The Reds were 12-21 in the 33 games Phillips missed. Phillips began Monday batting .272 with seven home runs and 40 RBIs. Cincinnati also activated reliever Logan Ondrusek.

Perez exits with knee pain, backup Kratz homers twice in Royals’ 6-1 win over Twins

By ANDY MCCULLOUGH

The Kansas City Star

MINNEAPOLIS — The sequence confirmed the blessed fortune shining on the Royals, even as the events hinted at the organization’s darkest fear.

In the seventh inning of a 6-1 victory over Minnesota, Salvador Perez stood inside the dugout with his shirt untucked. It was his turn to bat. He did not. Instead Erik Kratz, the 34-year-old backup acquired last month, headed to the plate.

Kratz jumped on the first pitch he saw, allowing the team a moment to forget about Perez’s condition. The impact shattered his bat. His power still propelled the baseball over the left-field fence. For good measure, he boomed a second homer in the ninth, giving him his first career multi-homer game, and temporarily obscuring the concern over Perez’s right knee.

The team phrased the injury as “discomfort” as the game wound down. A club official relayed that Perez was removed as a “precautionary measure.” The Royals listed his availability as “day to day.” Perez missed 67 games after tearing his left meniscus during the spring of 2012.

His injury sullied an otherwise tidy evening. The Royals (69-55) nabbed their eighth consecutive series victory. Jason Vargas extended his streak of scoreless innings to 17 before yielding a solo homer in the seventh. He lasted seven in all, allowing only four hits along the way, as his teammates returned to normalcy after an eventful four days at Target Field.

A bothersome outing by Greg Holland mitigated the happiness of Friday’s victory. The offense sputtered on Saturday, then dropped a dozen runs on their rainsoaked foes the next afternoon. On Monday evening,

amid another brief shower, the Royals resembled the club that has stormed past Detroit in the American League Central.

The hitters punished an erratic rookie starter. Perez came through with a tworun single and Billy Butler followed with a run-scoring hit in the fifth. Vargas shined in his clinical manner. Kratz crushed the two late-game long balls to pad the advantage. After Aaron Crow surrendered a three-run blast in the ninth, Holland emerged from the bullpen for his 38th save.

The most intriguing aspect of this series was the managerial machinations.

Manager Ned Yost spent Saturday’s loss handcuffed by the unavailability of Wade Davis and Greg Holland. He pitched Kelvin Herrera, his seventh-inning specialist, with a six-run lead on Sunday because he felt Please see ROYALS, page 3S

compelled to “hammer the nails down in the coffin.”

His latest quirk was another day off for center fielder Lorenzo Cain. He has sat for four of the last five nights. During his start on Saturday, he struck out four times. Yost planned to play Cain on both Tuesday and Wednesday at Coors Field. But Jarrod Dyson stayed in the starting lineup for Monday, and went 1-for3 with an RBI single, a walk and a run.

“We’ve got 39 games left,” Yost said before Monday’s game. “We’ve got to try to match up every day.”

The pitching duel favored the Royals. Vargas returned to the mound after his finest outing as a Royal. He had spun a three-hit shutout against Oakland last Wednesday. On Monday he looked in danger of allowing a run in the first frame.

Twins leadoff man Danny Santana singled, advanced to second on a groundball and stole third.

RACING Update

At a Michigan track, NASCAR fans weigh in on Ward/Stewart accident

By JIM PELTZ

Los Angeles Times

BROOKLYN, Mich. — On a warm, clear morning at Michigan International Speedway, Melissa Ward relaxed in a folding chair next to her 22-foot travel trailer in the track’s grassy infield.

Ward and her husband, Willie, drove from their Reynoldsburg, Ohio, home last week and arrived at the 1,400-acre complex to enjoy three days of NASCAR racing.

By that point, like so many others nationwide, they had watched the Tony Stewart video that went viral on the Internet and formed an opinion about what happened.

The video was “disturbing, very disturbing,” Melissa Ward said. But she added: “I do not see Tony at fault. I totally believe in Tony Stewart.”

During a non-NASCAR sprint-car race a week ago in upstate New York, a car driven by Stewart struck and killed another driver, 20-year-old Kevin Ward Jr. (no relation), who was on foot.

Ward had climbed from his wrecked car, walked onto the track and, while apparently angrily gesturing at

Stewart, was hit by Stewart’s car as it circled back around.

Although the bizarre accident did not occur at a NASCAR-sanctioned race, the NASCAR world was stunned and the incident made headlines worldwide in good part because Stewart is a three-time NASCAR champion and one of the sport’s most famous drivers.

Stewart sat out Sunday’s race at Michigan International Speedway (MIS), the second consecutive NASCAR race he’s missed since Ward’s death. His team said Stewart was grieving and undecided about when to race again.

No charges have been filed against Stewart, 43, but there is an ongoing investigation by the Ontario County, N.Y., sheriff’s office.

The accident, and the accompanying video shot by a spectator, has triggered a heated public debate — even among fans who don’t normally follow auto racing — about who might have been at fault.

The debate was pronounced on the MIS infield.

If there’s a capital of NASCAR Nation, it might be the village of recreational vehicles that assemble each week at NASCAR tracks.

The RVs’ owners spend the entire weekend at the speedways, many of them flying the flags of their favorite drivers.

Among the RV owners camped at MIS — an oval track 70 miles west of Detroit in Michigan’s Irish Hills — some blamed Ward, some blamed Stewart and others blamed both drivers.

“I don’t think (Stewart) meant to kill (Ward) or anything, but I think he meant to scare him,” said Nancy Vosburg, a Queens, N.Y., resident who attended the race with her sister.

“I’ve probably watched that video maybe 20, 25 times,” said Vosburg, a Dale Earnhardt Jr. fan who was wearing a green top with Earnhardt’s car number, 88, stitched on it. “I wanted to know what really happened.

“It shocked me,” she said. “It didn’t surprise me because Stewart — he just has a confrontation about everything. Tony’s just aggressive, very aggressive.”

Stewart is indeed a blunt, temperamental driver known for his past clashes with other drivers and the media. It’s unknown whether that had any bearing on the fatal accident, but it’s added to the narrative sur-

Stewart “doesn’t beat around the bush, he tells you like it is,” Maynard said. “He’s a straight-up guy.”

As for the accident, “I couldn’t believe it,” Maynard said. “He’s not the type of guy to do anything like that.” And no matter how the saga unfolds, “our thoughts are with Tony,” he said. “We’re going to keep flying that flag as long as we keep going to races.”

Others faulted Ward for putting himself in danger.

“Kevin Ward should not have been going down the track” on foot, said Jennie Mirkle of White Cloud, Mich.

“I don’t think it was (Stewart’s) fault,” agreed Karl Filzer of Toledo, Ohio.

“That guy (Ward) should have stuck with his vehicle and not run out in front of moving cars.”

Dan Winzler of Edwardsburg, Mich., said he “watched the video, and my general reaction is drivers shouldn’t get out of their

vehicles and taunt other drivers.”

As for speculating when Stewart might race again, “I’m not inside (Stewart’s) head,” said Craig Atwell of Harrison, Mich., who’s attended NASCAR races at MIS for the last 14 years.

“There’s only one person who can decide that.”

Filzer said this much was true: The debate will continue not only because a young driver lost his life but because the tragedy involved Stewart, one of racing’s most recognized figures.

If it had been a more obscure driver instead of Stewart, Filzer said, “it probably would have been on the back page of some local paper and you wouldn’t have ever heard about it.”
