Lunch lawsuit affected local schools, refunds available

By BAILEY POOLMAN

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Several local schools were affected by a lawsuit, which could result in parents receiving refunds.

According to the Iowa School Food Settlement website, the pending lawsuit claims Iowa Association for Educational Purchasing and Martin Brothers Distributing Company “conspired to restrain competition in the market for the retail sale of food at schools in Iowa and that Martin Brothers attempted to

monopolize that market in violation of Iowa antitrust laws.”

Joe Drake, Bedford, Clearfield and Mount Ayr shared superintendent, said claims are up to the parents, not staff.

“We need to be ready to answer parents if they start asking us (questions),” Drake said. “I think Drake it’s up to the parents to make the claim, and I don’t know how it would have any

effect on us except if they ask for documentation (of students) from us.”

Parents who had children attending local schools within a 13-year span and bought school lunch can receive $3.50 per student per year, with a maximum of $50 per student.

Martin Brothers Distributing Company has agreed to pay $1,925,000 as settlement.

To make a claim and get the refunded money, go to www.iowaschoolfoodsettlement.com and click on the link to file a claim.

The claiming deadline is Sept. 30.

Flying with honor

A Creston teenager died Thursday morning following a two-vehicle accident in eastern Adams County.

The accident occurred 7:38 a.m.

According to an Iowa State Patrol crash report, Christian Silva, 15, of Creston was driving a 1999 Chevy Silverado south on Vanilla Avenue in rural Adams County when he failed to stop at a stop sign and slammed into the side of a semi being driven east on 200th Street by John Paxson, 37, of Mount Ayr. Silva was pronounced dead at the scene and transported to the state medical examiner. Paxson was treated and released at the scene. Both Silva and Paxson were Silva wearing safety belts.

Silva was a sophomore at Southwest Valley High School and that grief counselors are available at the school. All school-sponsored events at Southwest Valley scheduled Thursday were postponed.

He said he is looking most forward to sharing this experience with his friends and fellow service men Eddie Ehm, Dick Ide, Dick Ross, Orville Lines and George Foster, and finding out who the other local veterans will be joining him on the Honor Flight.

“I think all of them feel the same

way I do,” Crittenden said.

Honor Flight Honor Flight is a free service started in 2005 by Earl Morse, a retired Air Force captain turned physician assistant. After realizing veterans who he treated every day in his clinic would not be able to visit the new World War II Memorial built in their honor, Morse partnered with small-business owner Jeff Miller to establish the first Honor Flight.

Local veterans take Honor Flight to travel and reflect on their time in the service

There will be a heroes’ welcome this month in the nation’s capitol for more than 300 Iowa veterans.

This year, Honor Flight Network is paying a small tribute to Korean War era veterans with a daytrip Sept. 30 to Washington D.C. The purpose of Honor Flight is to provide a resource for “se- ■ The nior heroes,” veterans many who are in depart for their 80s, to visit their memorial. Washington “It’s just won- D.C. at 6:30 derful, the en- a.m. Sept. ergy,” said Bill Ballinger, Honor 30 and Flight Network start at the volunteer.

Korean War Ballinger said the trip provides Veterans closure for many Memorial veterans. It provides closure to a long military career, a way to pay tribute to those who served and the service men and women who were lost.

“They are reliving some of the good times and some of the bad,” Ballinger said. “It’s therapeutic in my opinion.”

Local veterans honored It has been 63 years since Bill Crittenden last visited Washington D.C. This time, the trip has a new and sentimental meaning for him.

Crittenden, who is participating in this year’s Honor Flight, was one of 11 students who visited D.C. in 1951 with his senior class at Arispe High School.

A year after his graduation, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, where he served as a B-36 gunner until 1956.

“Oh my gosh,” Crittenden said. “I think this just kind of wraps everything up of being in the service at that time.”

Clintons returning to Iowa amid 2016 presidential speculation DES MOINES (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton left Iowa on an “excruciating” night in 2008, the beginning of the end of her White House campaign. She returns for the first time this weekend, not quite yet running for president but sure to hear cheers from a crowd of Democrats hoping she will.

Trailed by White House speculation, and joined by her husband, former President Bill Clinton, the former secretary of state is trekking to rural Indianola to pay tribute to the retiring Sen. Tom Harkin at his final Steak Fry — a fundraiser and fixture of the state’s political calendar.

There will be plenty of talk about the upcoming midterm elections, especially the Senate race to pick Harkin’s replacement. But all eyes will be on Clinton, and whether she will come back soon — and often — to court voters once again in

the first state to vote in the presidential campaign.

“She is going to rev up the crowd,” said Democratic state Sen. Liz Mathis. “Certainly this is a great litmus test for her to see how many people not only are supercharged to wish Sen. Harkin well, but that they’re also glad to see her as well.”

More than 5,000 people are expected at this year’s Harkin Steak Fry — the steaks are grilled, not deepfried — making it the largest since Hillary Clinton’s last appearance in 2007, when she was joined by Barack Obama, Joe Biden and other Democrats running for president.

Her first run in Iowa began that year with a raucous public event where thousands packed into Des Moines’ East High School.

But her campaign stumbled, dogged by questions about her commitment to the early-voting state.

In the spring, a memo

called Ready for Hillary has been encouraging Iowans to buy tickets for the event for weeks. The group planned to have a major presence at the Steak Fry, handing out T-shirts, signing up new supporters and shuttling in college students from around the state.

The group even placed a billboard near the Des Moines airport using the “Texts From Hillary” meme, featuring a photo of a sternlooking Clinton peering through dark sunglasses at her Blackberry while aboard a military plane. It urges motorists not to text and drive.

“I’ve always, in retrospect, felt there was a zeitgeist for Barack Obama. I think personally there’s a zeitgeist for Hillary Clinton,” said Bonnie Campbell, an Iowa chair of Clinton’s 2008 campaign. “The path is never a straight line. Assuming she makes the decision to run, this is a great way for her to come to Iowa.”

written by a campaign aide suggesting she pull out of the caucuses and focus on other primary states was leaked to the media. The idea was rejected, but it implied she wasn’t fully committed to Iowa, which has played a pivotal role in every presidential campaign since Jimmy Carter’s surprise victory in 1976.

On caucus night, Clinton finished third and was critical of the process before departing for New Hampshire, noting in her speech that Iowans serving in the military and those who work at night couldn’t participate.

“The night of the Iowa caucuses, when I placed third, was excruciating,” Clinton wrote in her recent book, “Hard Choices.”

This weekend’s return is an opportunity for a fresh start, and she arrives in Iowa as the dominant figure in Democratic politics, along with her husband and Obama. A super PAC

USDA boosts corn, soybean harvest to new records DES MOINES (AP) — The nation’s corn and soybean farmers will bring in by far the largest harvest ever this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Thursday in a new report.

Corn farmers are expected to harvest nearly 14.4 billion bushels of corn, up from last year’s 13.9 billion bushel record. The yield of 172 bushels per acre is significantly higher than the previous record set in 2009 of 165 bushels per acre.

Record yields will be set in 18 states, the USDA said, and 10 states including Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska, the top three producers, have the highest number of ears per corn stalk ever.

A massive harvest has been expected this year as adequate rain and cool temperatures made for favorable growing conditions.

The expectations have driven corn and soybean prices significantly lower, but that isn’t expected to make much of a short-time difference in consumer food prices. However, since the grains are staples in livestock feed, lower prices could eventually lead to a decline in the cost of beef,

pork, chicken and milk.

The soybean harvest estimate also moved upward to a record of 3.9 billion bushels. The previous record was 3.4 billion bushels in 2009. The per-acre yield is now estimated at record 46.6 bushels per acre, beating the 2009 record of 44 bushels per acre.

After meeting all current demands for corn — including exports and use for animal feed, ethanol and food ingredients — the USDA estimated 2 billion bushels of corn would remain in stock. That’s the highest ending stock in a decade.

The report estimated ending soybean stocks at 475 million bushels, the

highest since 2006.

Another positive of the USDA report is that it also predicts record demand for corn and soybeans, said Chad Hart, an agriculture economist with Iowa State University.

That means farmers must keep a close eye on the markets and watch opportunities to sell, he said.

Slight movements of pennies per bushel can make a difference in the year’s income.

Despite the strong forecast, concerns have grown in recent days that early cold weather is creeping into the upper Midwest too soon as some crops are maturing later this year be-

For soybeans, Illinois is the top producer, with an estimated crop of nearly 563 million bushels, up 21 percent. Iowa is second highest producer with 512 million bushels, up 24 percent from a year ago, followed by Minnesota at 312 million bushels, a 15 percent increase over last year.

Picture this digital organization Dear Heloise: Do you have any hints for STORING DIGITAL PHOTOS? I have hundreds of pictures saved on my computer, and I have a hard time finding what I am looking for. — Isabella in Texas Welcome to the new world!

Sometimes too much of something is NOT a great thing. The ease of digital photos makes it too EASY to just shoot, shoot and shoot photos! Here are a few hints to help you and others in the same situation: • When downloading pictures, change and edit the image name. A lot of photos are named “IMG_250, etc.” Change to something like “IMG_250 Chammy and birds.” NAMING photos can make them easier to find.

• Try sorting your photos into different folders; they don’t all have to be in the same one. You can make a folder for “Pets,” “Family,” “2004,” etc. That way, when looking, you hopefully can narrow it down by the folder.

• Go through your photos periodically and delete a lot!

Why do we keep photos that we don’t like or that were taken by accident? Get rid of them! They are just wasting space and making it harder to find the ones you want.

• Invest in an external hard

Hints from Heloise drive. You don’t want to lose all your photos if your computer (or phone) crashes!

• If you store them on DVDs, be sure to check them periodically — they will not last forever!

Pack several complete outfits in each other’s bag. One lady on a cruise never received her luggage and had to wear her husband’s clothes and buy clothes at each port. (Heloise here: Doesn’t sound too bad to me!)

Save receipts. If this happens to you — losing your lug-

Things do happen! Never put medicine or valuables (including new, expensive purchases) in checked luggage.

My carry-on always has makeup, meds, important files and paperwork, as well as a change of blouse plus an extra scarf. I can survive for a day or two, if necessary! — Heloise HELPFUL HINTS Dear Heloise: I started cutting out the Hints From Heloise that I wanted for future reference. Pieces of newspaper were cluttering up the counter and were disorganized. To keep track of the hints I wanted to save, I made a “Hints From Heloise” note on the notes function of my phone.

Horoscope Saturday, Sept. 13, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Whether you are aware of it or not, you might be too blunt in your conversations with others today. Therefore, think before you speak. (And remember that courtesy will open doors to things you never imagined.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your work routine will be interrupted today, perhaps because of computer crashes, power outages, canceled meetings or staff shortages. Allow extra time in your day so that you have some wiggle room to deal with this.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an accident-prone day for your children, so if you are a parent, be vigilant! This also is an accident-prone day for sports events and activities in the entertainment world and the hospitality industry.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Family disputes might occur today because your home scene is interrupted. This could be due to the breakdown of small appliances or minor breakages. Patience!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Think before you speak or act.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might find money today; you might lose money. If shopping, keep your receipts and count your change. Guard your possessions against loss or theft.

It’s a crapshoot.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Relations with others are bumpy today, because people are blunt and possibly even rude. Basically, someone is speaking without thinking, and it doesn’t sound pretty.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) It’s easy to overlook details today, so if you are doing important work, please doublecheck everything. However, you easily will do science, mathematics, astrology and technical disciplines. Go figure.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Someone younger might cancel an appointment today or change your game plan. Meetings with groups might change or be canceled.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Conversations with authority figures are unpredictable today; they could go either way. If you feel nervous about

talking to your boss, stay away.

Trust your intuition. Do not wake the sleeping giant.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans will be canceled, rescheduled or delayed today. Similarly, schedules related to higher education (colleges and universities) will be interrupted.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Others might seem too slow for you today. Nevertheless, in your haste you might overlook something. It’s easy to be impatient, because you’re hun-

gry for new experiences.

YOU BORN TODAY You have determination, resilience, willpower and perseverance.

(Impressive.) This is why you always get the job done! In addition, others respect your sincerity and dedication to whatever cause you embrace.

You have excellent powers of concentration. This year, your success lies with others. People will benefit you. Therefore, make friends and join clubs.

Help others, because you also will be helping yourself.

Boost kids’ nutrition with tips on creating a balanced plate (BPT) — It’s no secret a wholesome diet helps keep kids healthy while giving them the energy and nutrients they need to concentrate and excel at school.

Healthful meals and physical activity are essential for child growth and development, and parents hold the key to proper nutrition for the entire family.

Fortunately, eating right doesn’t have to mean spending a lot of money or time in the kitchen. By relying on nutritious and convenient canned and frozen foods, in addition to fresh, any parent or caregiver can create quick, delicious, nutritious meals the whole family will love.

The best place to start when planning a healthy meal is to consider ingredients and portion sizes. MyPlate, the food graphic that replaced the food pyramid, is an easy guide. The graphic emphasizes building a plate with variety and appropriate portions of fruit, vegetables, grains, proteins and dairy.

Focus on fruits and veg-

etables: According to MyPlate, kids should be eating a variety of fruit and vegetables, with slightly more emphasis on colorful veggies. Fortunately, there are many ways to enjoy these nutrient-packed foods. All forms of fruits and vegetables, whether they are canned, fresh, frozen, dried or 100-percent juice, count toward the recommended daily intake. Stock up on canned fruit and vegetables to save on prep time and keep nutritious foods at your fingertips year-round.

Vary your protein choices: It’s easy to default to chicken and beef when it comes to getting protein into meals. But variety is the spice of life, and a diet rich in different protein sources helps children expand their palate. Animal sources of protein include meat, poultry, seafood and eggs. Plant sources of protein include beans, peas, soy products, nuts and seeds. Experiment with main dishes made with canned beans, seafood or chicken, nutritious protein

options that can be part of dinner on any busy school night. How much is enough?

Most people ages 9 and older should eat 5 to 7 ounces of protein each day, recommends the USDA. One ounce of protein is equal to: 1 ounce lean meat, poultry or seafood; one egg; 1/4 cup cooked beans or peas; 1/2 ounce nuts or seeds; or 1 tablespoon of peanut butter.

Add whole grains: Bread, pasta, breakfast cereals and tortillas are just a few examples of grain products people eat often. Any food made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal or barley counts.

Strive to make whole-grain foods at least half of your family’s daily intake of grain by choosing whole-wheat bread and pasta or getting creative with unique sources like brown rice, barley or even canned hominy to add to soups and casseroles.

Don’t forget the dairy: As an alternative to plain milk, try offering other dairy options like yogurt and cheese.

Start the school day right with an energizing break-

fast of whole grain cereal topped with low fat yogurt and canned fruit like peaches or Mandarin oranges; this will keep even the pickiest eaters satisfied until their lunchtime.

Listen to health experts: A recent survey of health professionals found that the vast majority of dietitians (95 percent) regularly rely on canned ingredients at home and agree canned

foods are a great way to meet dietary goals. In fact, 9 out of 10 dietitians say they regularly recommend canned food to others. And while moms and dads are turning to canned ingredients because they are convenient, often less expensive than fresh and available yearround, the survey also found they still have a number of concerning misperceptions about canned food com-

pared to dietitians. Check out an infographic at www. mealtime.org to learn more about what these nutrition experts already know.

Keep taste top-of-mind: If kids don’t like the taste of a food, they won’t eat it. Be creative and prevent mealtime battles by adding vegetables to spaghetti or mixing them with their favorite casseroles and soups.

Pooches for pain relief Underdog — the superbeagle who saves his town from bad guys with barely a growl — may be a protracted joke (he first appeared in the 1960s and made a movie as recently as 2007), but a real-life dog actually can rescue you from painful situations, even immediately after joint-replacement surgery!

New info reveals that a daily five- to 15-minute visit from a pooch trained in animal-assisted therapy slashes folks’ need for oral pain meds (oxycodone, etc.) by 28 percent, and that might mean less trouble with side effects like constipation and less dependence on these sometimes-addicting drugs.

But is it sanitary to have a dog in your room when you’re recovering from major surgery? The organizations that work with hospitals to bring in healing hounds should follow strict guidelines to make sure dogs are free of communicable diseases (psittacosis, salmonellosis, toxoplasmosis, campylobacteriosis and giardiasis) and that both pooches and their handlers know how to behave in often-tense recovery situations.

So before you let a therapy dog into your hospital room, check with the person who runs the program to make sure the facility is following all the guidelines for therapy dogs, including that they are not from a shelter or rescue; have been in a home for at least six months; and are frequently screened for health issues. Also, make sure there’s a supervising vet working with the program and that your doctor signs off on having a dog visit with you. Then maybe

SUPERDOSE FOR SENIORS When Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline joined forces in “Last Vegas,” an old man’s version of “The Hangover,” they proved that experience and talent can’t protect you from sickening Viagra jokes. But a high-dose flu vaccine can protect that same over-the-hill crowd from a pretty sickening virus. That’s really good news, because influenza is especially tough on those 65 and older. Seniors account for 90 percent of deaths related to the flu, even though they’re far more likely to get inoculated than younger folks.

Almost 70 percent of people 65 and older get their shots, while only around 26 percent of those 18-49 do.

So if you’re 65-plus, how can you increase your chances of dodging the flu this season? Try the high-dose trivalent vaccine; it covers three types of flu and delivers four times as much vaccine as the standard trivalent inoculation. The result: It increases protection against the flu by 24 percent! This is important because standard flu vaccines aren’t all that effective among 65-plussers.

Against last year’s most virulent H3N2 infection, the standard trivalent vaccine was only 9 percent effective — and overall it was only 27 percent effective. So, boosting the vaccine’s fighting

power to close to 50 percent is a huge health bonanza for seniors. (Among younger folks, the standard shots are 70 percent to 90 percent effective.)

Another option for people who are 65-plus? A standard quadrivalent vaccine that protects against four strains. Talk with your doctor about your best option, and then get your shot as soon as the vaccine is available!

HOT TIPS ON DIABETES In 1984, when a New York City cop offered waitress Phyllis Penzo half a lottery ticket as a tip, the $6 million payoff gave them each a new life. That hot tip also gave Nicolas Cage a hit movie (“It Could Happen to You” is based on a true story). Well, lately there’s been a winning series of hot tips for people with diabetes that (if followed) could be just as life-changing as a lottery win.

1. A vegan diet (that’s no animal-related products at all) eases diabetic nerve pain! This complication of diabetes affects 25 percent to 50 percent of people with Type 2 and can trigger excruciating sensations and burning pain. In a small randomized, controlled study those who were vegans and ate 40 grams of fiber per day with 20 to 30 grams of fat per day (an ounce or less) and took vitamin B-12 supplements lowered their lousy LDL cholesterol, lost weight and saw levels of

pain decrease much more than folks only taking B-12.

2. A couple of handfuls of tree nuts, about 1/2 cup daily (we like walnuts and almonds), can improve your blood sugar control. For the best results, those nuts should replace refined carbs and animal protein in your diet.

3. Mindful meditation boosts control of glucose levels and significantly lowers A1C (an average of glucose levels over several months). And, a study among veterans found that it also slashes diabetes-related stress by more than 40 percent. For mindful meditation instructions, go to sharecare.com.

Enjoy the winning combo of these new findings!

CAN CAFFEINATED COFFEE QUIET TINNITUS? In the 2007 film “Noise,” Aussie constable Graham McGahan battles Melbourne’s bad guys — and his own deafening case of tinnitus (ringing in the ears).

Luckily, when the din from a car horn cancels out the racket in his head, he hears his nemesis sneaking up on him.

It may seem unlikely that loud honking really could nullify internal humming caused by nerve activation in the inner ear and brain, allowing him to hear faint sounds. But you know what?

It could have happened.

Tinnitus sufferers often use white noise machines to cancel out the internal din and help them get to sleep.

Tinnitus can result from damage to sound-transmitting hairs in your inner ear.

Or it may be from muscular or nerve problems associated with a neck injury,

TMJ, circulatory problems, medications or age-related hearing loss. Tinnitus affects about 14 percent of people age 60-69.

Treatments usually focus on trying to stop the racket or, if that doesn’t work, calming your reaction to it.

But the latest good news?

A caffeine study found that drinking three to four 8-ounce cups of coffee daily (450-600 mg of caffeine) reduced the incidence of tinnitus by 15 percent.

Seems caffeine does more than decrease your risk for nine cancers and help you dodge age-related cognitive problems! It’s possible that caffeine stimulates your central nervous system and alters the nerves that are jangling in your inner ear and brain. Just be aware of other sources of caffeine in your diet, and have your last dose at least four hours before turning in.

WORKING TO MAKE KIDS’ WORKING MEMORY STRONGER Mr. Peabody, the Harvard-educated, cartoon canine professor (he graduated years before Dr. Oz), has an IQ that’s so high, some say he’s the world’s smartest person! So it may surprise you that as a pup Mr. Peabody is rumored to have had working (aka “short term”) memory problems. Luckily, you can teach a young (or old) dog new tricks! Mr. P trained his mind to hold onto incoming information so he could use it to his advantage ... and the rest is animation history.

Working memory problems have nothing to do with IQ — nor, in many instances, with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). But they do

make it difficult for kids to hone their reading skills or master math. Most children identified as “poor readers” or “arithmetic disabled” have problems with working memory.

If you suspect your child has working memory challenges: —Reduce sensory overload: No TV while doing homework; no music while reading.

—Work with your child’s strengths: If she’s skilled visually, but doesn’t listen well, convey information through images more than spoken words.

—Help your child focus on one task at a time; sequential multitasking works; overlapping does not.

—Teach “chunking”: grouping instructions or information into bite-size packages to be digested one at a time. Ask teachers to do that with their instructions, too.

—Encourage physical activity. It improves working memory. Provide brain fuel with DHA-omega-3 rich foods and supplements.

—Get your child evaluated by a professional; then don’t automatically opt for medication! And for more info check out the National Center for Learning Disabilities website: www.ncld. org.

Iowa college hopes to use grass to power campus IOWA CITY (AP) — The University of Iowa is hoping it will be able to use grass as a biofuel to help power the campus About 70 people, including University of Iowa officials, on Wednesday toured Dan Black’s farm where he is grow- n The ing giant miscan- University Iowa is thus, a tropical of aiming to tallgrass native use less to east Asia, the energy in Iowa City Press- 2020 than it did in 2010 Citizen reported.

The University of Iowa is aiming to use less energy in 2020 than it did in 2010, even as

its campus expands.

By 2020, the college wants to have 40 percent of its energy derived from renewable sources, according to Ben Anderson, the university’s power plant manager.

The school has been increasing its use of burning oat hulls in an attempt to draw down how much coal it burns at its power plant.

The university plans to test the grass by burning it in its boilers next week.

Black approached the university to offer a portion of his property for its pilot project, with the college renting the 15 acres for five years and paying for the planting, maintenance and harvest of the grass.

The school is also working with

T:6.75”

a farm near Muscatine to grow the grass.

“It just seems to make sense, if we can grow energy,” Black said. “It’s a renewable energy source — it just seems like it’s worth a try, worth the effort and worth the experimentation to see if this will work for us.”

The University of Iowa has said it hopes to plant an extra 2,500 acres of the plant by 2016.

Black said it is clear the grass has taken a liking to Iowa’s soil.

In some areas, the grass has grown higher than 6 feet, which is about twice as tall as generally expected in its first year of growth, said Emily Heaton, an Iowa State University assistant professor of agronomy.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Ravens roll BALTIMORE — The dismissal of Ray Rice wasn’t a distraction for the Baltimore Ravens.

Ultimately, it served as inspiration.

Playing a pivotal divisional game three days after the release of the star running back, Baltimore got a pair of touchdown passes from Joe Flacco and rolled past the rival Pittsburgh Steelers 26-6 on Thursday night.

Coming off a seasonopening loss to AFC North foe Cincinnati, the Ravens (1-1) held Pittsburgh to two field goals and forced three turnovers.

Bernard Pierce took over for Rice to gain 96 yards on 22 carries as part of a ground game that finished with 157 yards. Flacco went 21for-29 for 166 yards and two TD throws to tight end Owen Daniels, and Justin Tucker kicked four field goals.

Stanton hit Miami Marlins star outfielder Giancarlo Stanton suffered facial lacerations requiring stitches, multiple facial fractures and dental damage after being struck under his left eye by a pitch from Mike Fiers in a 4-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.

Stanton was driven off the field in an ambulance after being hit in the face by a pitch in the fifth inning.

The Marlins announced Stanton suffered a laceration and was undergoing X-rays and a CT scan. But Marlins manager Mike Redmond acknowledged after the game that he was not optimistic about the extent of the injury.

Stanton immediately fell to the ground after being hit by Fiers’ 88 mph fastball. Trainers from both teams came to his assistance, and he was placed on a backboard and then a stretcher.

Stanton’s father was at the game and came on the field while his son was treated, then left with him in the ambulance.

MURRAY — An experienced, senior and junior-laden Murray team won a quick 25-9, 25-6, 25-11 sweep over a young Diagonal team here Thursday in Bluegrass Conference action.

But the win didn’t come without a price, as Murray junior Madison Gonseth, a key piece in the middle for the Lady Mustangs, suffered an ankle injury in the first Gonseth game and did not return to the court.

Gonseth went up at the net, getting a kill to give Murray a 22-9 lead, but as she came back to the ground, rolled her ankle and crumpled to the floor in pain.

Murray head coach Jerry Shields tended to her in the middle of the court, and after a few minutes, helped Gonseth off the court to a round of applause.

“She said it hurts really, really bad,” Shields said.

“We’ll just wait and see, I guess.”

Gonseth was diagnosed with two torn ligaments in her right ankle Thursday night. She is expected to miss at least a week to 10 days.

Sophomore Katie Otto replaced Gonseth in the Mur-

“We kind of had to do a makeshift thing there tonight by putting in a sophomore to take her place,” he said. “The only thing with

losing her out of the middle is losing a lot of height out of the middle, so not sure what we’ll look at doing yet.

JEFFERSON — Cut the gaps.

That was the takeaway for Creston head cross country coach Pat Schlapia after Thursday’s meet at Greene County.

Cut the gaps — both within the team and in the team standings.

The Panther girls finished fourth out of 11 schools with 135 points, behind Ballard (41), Winterset (52) and Atlantic (97). The Creston boys, meanwhile, finished sixth with 142 points, losing a tiebreaker to Nevada. Winterset won the boys team competition with 69 points.

“This was a good learning meet for us,” Schlapia said. “This isn’t the last we’re going to see these schools. We’re going to see these schools a lot this season. We want to catch these schools ahead of us. The teams that beat us, we want to cut the gap on them.”

Likewise, on both the boys and girls teams, there are gaps that need to be cut. Cutting those gaps will lead to cutting the gaps on the other teams.

Senior Maria Mostek led the Panther girls with a fourth place finish in 16:20 over the muddy 4K course.

Mostek finished behind Class 3A sixth-ranked Abby Kohut-Jackson of

Ballard and 12th-ranked Tiffany Williams of Atlantic, as well as DenisonSchleswig freshman Ellie Mendlik.

But from Mostek to sophomore Rachel Shepherd, who rounded out the scoring by finishing fifth for the Panthers, there was a gap of 2:43.

Jessica Beatty finished 20th in 17:49 and Madison Hance placed 32nd in 18:39. Lexie Little, running just her second cross country meet, crossed in 18:58 for 44th place.

“She (Little) really moved up and showed a lot of improvement,” Schlapia said. “ S h e ’ s Little going to get stronger each time, coming off tonsillitis.”

The Panthers finished six points ahead of host Green County, ranked sixth in Class 2A. “Finishing behind Ballard and Winterset, those are ranked teams in 3A,” Schlapia said. “Atlantic is looking real strong this year. Those are three teams we want to be battling with.

We don’t want to be 40 or 50 points behind them. We Please see PANTHERS, page 3S

Volleyball offers collective ‘unity’ experiences I only minored in psychology and sociology at Iowa as an undergrad, so I don’t profess to be the ultimate authority on human behavior.

But, I have a theory.

It’s come to me while watching this volleyball season unfold.

It’s a sport, I’ve come to realize, that fits the psyche of the young female athlete perfectly. And, those of us who coach other sports could learn something from how this “fit” generates enthusiasm and passion for the sport among its participants.

And, this theory extends all the way from middle school up through the college level, because I’ve had the same observations at SWCC matches.

Think about any volleyball match you’ve seen. They have rituals for so many things. When you come off the floor, you go down the line of the coaches and players on the bench, getting “high-fives.” Every time.

On the court, there are specific rituals they do together when somebody scores an ace serve. Another for a kill.

They come together, and do it in unison.

They feed off that shared energy.

This will be my sixth year coaching middle school girls basketball, after more than a decade of coaching boys in basketball and baseball, mostly at the middle school level.

You don’t treat them differently in many respects, I get

Straight shots Larry Peterson sports writer

that. Tough athletes are tough athletes, finding a way to win, whether they are male or female. I’ve had plenty from both sides that I’d go to war with.

But to not acknowledge there are inherent mental and emotional tendancy differences would be ignorant.

They are real. Creston coach Brent Douma agrees with me, as does golf instructor Mark Egly of Des Moines, who covered some of those differences in a presentation Sunday at Crestmoor Golf Club.

Reader warning — I’m venturing into generalities here. These observations aren’t valid for 100 percent of the people, but they are noticeable trends.

I’ve experienced it.

Girls love the collective experience.

Whether they’re going through a brutal practice, locked in a tight game, or just killing time after school, they like doing it in groups. Fact: they are more advanced social beings than us

guys. (Just ask my wife.)

Guys love the aspect of “family” and teamwork within the structure of competitive athletics, too. Don’t get me wrong. But there’s a different level of that passion for the girls. Part of the reason they tend to love a sport, except for individual settings like golf

and tennis, is what they get from each other through the experience.

Heck, all you need as evidence for that is the decibel difference on a bus ride home with my seventh-grade girls Please see SHOTS, page 2S

team on a ride home from Stuart after a big win (cue up the sing-a-longs), vs. most of the rides I experienced with the guys’ teams.

A boy might be buried in his phone, playing a video game, rather than talking to the guy next to him.

If the guys are talking, they’re likely good-naturedly trash-talking each other over something — talkin’ smack. (There’s another term for it that I won’t use in a family newspaper.) Don’t hold your breath waiting for singing in unison.

So, that’s the backdrop for my theory on volleyball.

Everybody is counted on in volleyball to do their job — the server, the defensive digger, the blocker. And each is rewarded for doing their job well.

I’d love to have that social spirit in the sport I coach, because I really feel it’s part of the draw of the sport for these girls. (Plus boys don’t play it, so you can’t compare the level of play.)

But, there are natural

breaks in the action allowing for such in volleyball. In basketball, you’re still running the court in transition, unless there’s a whistle for a foul call or a timeout. There aren’t as many chances to stop and share a good moment. It’s on to the next play.

But, I’ve learned something from the sport of volleyball, and I’ll be brainstorming ways to mimic some of those teamwork traits. Even if it’s just a rule to “high five” everyone on the bench if you come out of the game.

The brief “huddle” in the lane before a free throw is shot is another. You get a moment to communicate something important, and support each other.

Thank you, volleyball, for opening my eyes to something.

••• The other difference, noted by Egly in his golf clinic, is how well most female students listen to his instruction, and try to incorporate those lessons. Guys will too,

but a higher percentage might be a tougher sell.

“When a woman gets instruction, she will try to do it to a ‘T,’ and she trusts the instructor,” Egly said. “Guys are sometimes dismissive, if they feel they already know how to do it.”

In my five years, girls have really tried hard to do what I say, and they seem appreciative of my efforts to help them. A higher percentage of them still talk to me in the hallways, etc.

I’m close to a lot of guys I’ve coached, too, and I know football might offer the best “collective” team sentiment in all of sports.

But some of these observations ring true to this amateur sports psychologist. There are a lot of pros in coaching girls, which is something this father of two boys would not have even thought about saying six years ago!

••• As I mentioned above, guys like to smack-talk each other. We take it, because we like to dish it out. Fe-

males, not so much.

This is a huge week for slinging the smack, with Iowa facing Iowa State.

Terry Freeman and I, for example, have been pretty ruthless with each other on Facebook with a variety of insulting posts about the Hawks and ‘Clones. If I get under his skin just a little, I’ve had a minor victory.

But I know he’ll be coming right back with equal force.

Yet, we’re good friends.

I know some women don’t understand how that dynamic works. But it does.

On the drive back from Iowa City Saturday evening, if I’m not receiving some nasty text from a celebrating Cyclone, I’m probably tapping one out.

That’s how we treat our best friends. We’re much more cordial to people we don’t like so much.

Deb says that’s all jacked up. She thinks we’re not that far removed from the Neaderthals, really.

practice, see what happens.”

Barber finished the match Thursday with a matchhigh 17 kills for the Class 1A 14thranked Lady Mus- Barber tangs. She also added two blocks.

Learning experience The opportunity to face Barber, a returning all-stater for Murray, provided a new challenge for the young Maroonettes, who play four sophomores and one freshman in their lineup.

“We’re growing,” Diagonal head coach Allison Hajek said. “We’re getting more mature, older. We’re understanding the game of volleyball better, but we have yet to go up against hitters like Murray has. This was a good practice. I think the girls had a lot of fun playing against it,

McKenzie Case led the Lady Mustangs at the service line, going 22-22 with 10 aces.

Barber served seven aces.

“We were able to do things tonight we wanted to do,” he said. “Got the passes to Brandi (Gilbert) a lot better and were able to attack the net instead of 7 to 8 feet off the net, which is kind of what we were doing against Lamoni the other night. I think we did make an improvement there.”

Murray improved to 3-0 for the season with the win.

The Lady Mustangs travel to Melcher-Dallas on Tuesday and Orient-Macksburg on Thursday. Diagonal, now 0-4, travels to Mormon Trail on Thursday.

trying for it, just getting to experience that.”

It’s a test that came early in the season for Diagonal. With plenty of volleyball ahead in the season, Hajek said her team can apply what it learned from Thursday’s match to the rest of the season.

“We’ve learned so much from just playing this match, because not as many teams in the conference hit like they do,” Hajek said. “So we really got to work on our blocking and talk to our girls about blocking and just timing with that. Absolutely, just playing this game, we have a whole list of things we can work on in practice.”

Senior Shelby Comer recorded three kills for the Maroonettes, while Kaitlyn Klommhaus added two kills.

Jaci Haidsiak set five assists and had three digs. Kasydi Klommhaus recorded two digs.

Shields said he felt his team showed improvement in passing and serving from Tuesday’s close win against Lamoni.

in about 5:08,” Schlapia said. “Talking to Cooper after, that’s what the boys wanted to do, stay with Kohut-Jackson. They hung in there. Cooper tried to make a move there once they got to the track (300 meters to go), but wasn’t able to overcome the gap.”

Ben Irr, typically the third runner for the Panthers, was held out with a leg injury. Senior Brant Hudson stepped up and finished third for the Panthers, running 19:47 for 36th place.

N i c k Hudson Walsh ran 19:58 for

42nd place and sophomore Isaac Wignall rounded out the team scoring with a 70th-place finish in 20:53.

“That’s what we expect out of a senior like Brant, to pick up the slack on that,” Schlapia said. “Nick Walsh, he’s been varsity both meets so far this season.

“Just like the girls, we need a lot of work on closing the gaps. From Cooper to Isaac, we had a 4 minute gap. We need to cut that down big time. That’s going to be a goal, something we’re going to need to shoot for.”

The Panthers now know what they need to work on moving forward this season. Still, there were positives to take away from the
