Josh Alton to perform at Questions Parks and Rec fundraiser swirl after Trump admin says tax will pay for wall Tickets are $30 for a smoked prime-rib dinner and entertainment.

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

Josh Alton of Des Moines brings a unique perspective to his stand-up comedy show.

Alton is an athlete-turned-comedian, having played football at North Iowa Area Community College prior to the college shutting down its football program.

Alton will provide the comedic entertainment Saturday, Feb. 11, at the annual Creston Parks and Recreation Board fundraiser event held at the Eagles Lodge. This year’s event is titled “A Night of Love and Comedy.”

A social hour begins at 5 p.m. and lasts until 6:30 p.m., when a prime-rib dinner is served. Dinner is followed by an auction, with Alton taking the stage after the auction.

Tickets are $30 each and can be purchased at the Eagles Lodge, Creston News Advertiser, from any Parks and Rec board member or by calling the Parks and Rec department at 641-7822000 ext. 206.

A reserved table directly in front of Alton is available for $340 and includes eight seats.

“A lot of times, people will ask me if I was the class clown,” Alton said. “I was maybe one of the class

clowns, but I was also an athlete, so I couldn’t afford to get into the type of trouble the class clown gets into.

I was definitely the team clown. Funny enough, the coaches would often find it humorous, too. I did get in trouble in football, so I ran a lot of extra laps by running my mouth.”

After graduating from

Southeast Polk High School and playing football at NIACC, Alton eventually found himself taking classes at the famed Second City Theater in Chicago.

There, he was surrounded by numerous comedians and actors. One of the most notable from his time at Second City Theater was Keegan-Michael Key of

“Key and Peele” fame.

“It was just a great experience to take their classes,” Alton said. “It taught me how to improvise on stage and be quicker on my feet.

Working there was great because I was surrounded by all those actors and producers.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is promising Mexico will pay for his massive border wall.

On Thursday, his administration finally suggested how: a 20 percent tax on products imported from south of the border.

The new measure could be part of a comprehensive tax reform package that Trump and Congress will work out, the White House said. But there was great ambiguity about the proposal. White House officials later clarified that the tax was but one possible way Trump could finance the wall.

Much was left unanswered. Would Mexico be footing the bill or American consumers? What items would become more expensive? Is this even legal?

Some of the details Trump’s proposal still has to work out:

Is it a tax, a tariff or something else?

It’s unclear.

The White House said Congress’ tax overhaul would place a 20 percent tax on imports from any country enjoying a trade surplus with the United States. In other words, countries selling more goods and service to the U.S. than buying from it. The idea is to rebalance the playing field for U.S.

companies by discouraging Americans from importing.

The idea appears to overlap with a plan House Republicans are pushing called “border adjustment.” Under this plan, the U.S. would refrain from taxing American companies’ exports, but would tax imports.

The new revenues are projected to top $1 trillion over a decade. The money had been envisioned as an offset for lowering U.S. corporate income tax rates, though House Republicans say it could also pay for a wall.

Trump, however, recently said he didn’t like the “border adjustment” idea.

What does this mean for Americans?

Mexican products would become more expensive.

That means pricier tequila, but also things Americans need: cars, eyeglasses and many basic groceries.

A Toyota Camry? About $1,000 more, according to Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota North America, noting that a quarter of the car’s parts are imported.

U.S. exporters are behind the House plan because it would reduce their taxes.

Here’s the flip side: Importers, including big retailers and consumer electronics firms, say the higher

Iowa court rejects water utility’s effort against districts DES MOINES (AP) — A divided Iowa Supreme Court on Friday upheld a legal doctrine going back 100 years that allows agriculture drainage districts to maintain immunity from lawsuits seeking monetary damages.

The ruling presents an obstacle for the Des Moines Water Works, which is pursuing a lawsuit in federal court in Sioux City filed in March 2015.

The water utility for 500,000 Iowans alleges the three counties that oversee 10 agricultural drainage districts should be required to obtain federal water pollution discharge

permits and pay the utility the more than $1.4 million it has spent to remove nitrates from the water supply.

The decades-old rules that govern drainage systems — first established in Article 1 of the Iowa Constitution and updated by the Legislature periodically — have largely been untouchable in the agriculture-heavy state. But attorneys for the utility say agriculture has changed dramatically in the last 100 years and that the health implications of farm chemicals in water are clearer, WATER | 14A

Agricultural breakfast: Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey listens to a question posed to him during a breakfast this morning at The Windrow. Northey gave a quick recap of where Iowa stood in the agricultural economy across both the nation and world, then answered questions about agricultural topics such as legislation and CRP from citizens who came to listen. Also during the breakfast, which was hosted by Iowa State Savings Bank, it was emphasized that the local bank has partnered with Security National Bank to promote trust services available to those who want to enter into a trust or have questions.

Skip Kenyon, ISSB senior trust officer, Karl Knock ISSB chief executive officer, and Adam Snodgrass, ISSB chief financial officer and trust officer, explained how the bank could be an unbiased party within the workings of a trust.

Creston died Thursday, Jan.

Would Mexico really be paying?

Not quite.

The U.S. could recoup some of the wall’s costs by changing the tax and trade policies with Mexico. But the money wouldn’t necessarily be coming from Mexican taxpayers or the Mexican government.

While the tax would land first on companies exporting from Mexico, the costs would likely be passed on to consumers. That leaves Americans footing much of the likely bill.

Trump has said he’s OK with being “reimbursed” at a later point because he is keen to start building the wall immediately.

Do Republicans like Trump’s plan?

IOWA CITY (AP) — A man wielding a fire extinguisher has rescued a burning U.S. flag from protesters in Iowa City.

Organizers told the Iowa City Press-Enterprise (http://icp-c.com/ 2jwzPSC) that Thursday’s demonstration across from the Old Capitol Mall was aimed at racial and social injustice and U.S. imperialism. The protesters’ actions drew angry comments from some bystanders.

Federal prosecutors say 66-year-old Thomas Gretter was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court in Davenport.

With so much of the plan ill-defined, it’s impossible to substantiate those claims.

Any turbulence in the U.S.-Mexican trade relationship could have implications for the entire world.

Mexico is the second-largest exporter to the United States, after China. The United States imported roughly $271 billion of goods from Mexico during the first 11 months of 2016, according to the Commerce Department, and ran a trade deficit of almost $60 billion.

WALL:

Coming up on his 19th year as a stand-up comedian, Alton has traveled to 42 states with his act.

Last year’s comedy act at the fundraiser, Scott Long, recommended Alton to the Parks and Rec board.

“He said Josh puts on a heck of a show,” Parks and Rec Board Member John Kawa said. “We had a couple guys and that’s who we chose.”

A father with two daughters at home, Alton now mostly stays within the Midwest for his shows.

“My show is almost exclusively taken out of my real-life experiences,” Alton said. “That’s not to say I don’t have any outside influences, but my material is basically all stories out of my real life.”

Alton said his material generally appeals to a wide range of people and described it as “laid-back” and “fun.”

“Sometimes people get worried about getting picked on at a show,” Alton said. “That only happens at my show if you’re heckling. I’m not out to get anybody. I just want to go up and tell my stories, have everybody laugh and everybody leave having had a good time and a positive experience.”

Alton said his favorite

shows to take part in are fundraisers, since people are there supporting a good cause. He enjoys being able to make people laugh in the same experience.

When asked what he’s most looking forward to about his show in Creston, Alton was quick to answer with a laugh.

“I think it’s rolling into town and finding out how many Casey’s you have,” he said. “I’m going to say three. That’s my guess.”

HINTS FROM HELOISE Keeping tabs on power cords

HOROSCOPE For Saturday, Jan. 28, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)A friend might surprise you today, or you might meet a real character. Whatever the case, something will catch you off guard during your relations with others, especially groups.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)A conversation with a boss, parent or a VIP might catch you off guard today. If you are offended, do not react. Do not quit your day job.

Wait a day or two to sort out how you feel.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Travel plans are unpredictable today. You might have an unexpected opportunity to travel, or you might have to cancel previous travel arrangements.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Double-check details about shared property, inheritances, insurance issues and legal papers today, because something unpredictable is at play. Make sure you know what’s happening.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A friend or partner might surprise you today. Or perhaps this person will demand more freedom in the relationship. Something

definitely is up for grabs.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) New equipment or technology might arrive where you work today, or perhaps things are different because of staff changes.

New rules might create a different situation for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Surprise invitations might come your way today. If so, you will have to act fast, because this window of opportunity is brief.

Parents, take note: This is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Something at home will change your routine. Small appliances might break down; someone unexpected might knock at your door.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’re full of bright, clever and original ideas today. You welcome interactions with others, because you can enlighten and bounce your thoughts off them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your ambition is strong today. You feel upbeat because there’s so much energy in the air.

You will enjoy meeting new people today, especially people who

are different.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)This is a restless day because you want to get busy working on something. However, you have to play it low-key and work behind the scenes. Get ready for your breakout moment.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a classic day for meeting new friends, especially people who are unusual and stimulating! Alternatively, someone you already know might have an imaginative idea for you.

YOU BORN TODAY You are strong-willed, determined and committed to giving something everything you’ve got. Although you’re realistic, you set high standards for yourself. You are warm, compassionate and sometimes blunt. This year is a year of choices for you. Start to get a footing on what matters to you. Reduce your overhead expenses so that you are financially strong in 2017.

Happiness is having alternatives. (c) 2017 King Syndicate, Inc.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: Each new electronic comes with its own POWER/CHARGING CORD. I generally have them plugged into a power strip under my desk. To keep them separate and labeled, I take the plastic tabs from bagel and bread packages, label them and place them on the cords.

The tabs rest on top of my desk. When I need to plug in and charge one of my electronics, I look for the correct tab. No more having to figure that out by looking at the power strip, or crawling under the desk to find the right one. – R.T., via email Oh my! Have you been looking at the tangle of cords under my desk? I color-code them with nail polish or duct tape! – Hugs, Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com ON-THE-GO SNACKS Dear Readers: Preparing a simple “on-the-go snack” or

quick munchies bag is perfect when you may be out all day and you don’t want to spend extra money at a fast-food place. Use a plastic grocery bag, or to make it nice for a visiting guest, use a gift bag with handles. Put in a bottle of water or other drink, maybe a health-food bar, orange or apple, a small bag of grapes, etc. Here are a few hints for when this “food on the go” bag is a fit: 1) Make some for visitors who are going to be out most of the day sightseeing 2) When taking a long trip in a vehicle and you want to cover a lot of miles before stopping, as well as save a LOT of money!

3) Take to the beach or lake to hold you over until it’s time to eat the next meal.

Include some napkins and towelettes. – Heloise ENERGY/SAFETY TRAVEL HINT Dear Readers: If you are going on a trip or going to be away from your home for a length of time, here is a safety hint: Unplug anything that doesn’t need to be plugged in while away. Unplug kitchen appliances, such as a cof-

fee maker, toaster or toaster oven, plus hair and grooming appliances, etc. – any item that could heat up.

This will save a little energy, but it’s really a safety hint to prevent an unexpected fire. – Heloise ANOTHER HINT FOR ADDRESS LABELS Dear Heloise: I love reading your column in the San Antonio Express-News. I read a complaint about address labels sent from institutions wanting contributions.

Here’s my hint to share: Save them to use to seal food packages for the refrigerator or freezer. They really keep the paper sealed. – Wanda in San Antonio SPLIT KEY RINGS Dear Heloise: A quick fix for pants zippers that won’t stay up or are too hard to pull up: Attach a split key ring to the zipper pull. To keep the zipper from sliding back down, simply loop the key ring to the button on the pants. Then either wear your shirt out or wear a belt to hide the pull. – Anne M., via email (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

MONEY & TAXES A READERSHIP FEATURE OF THE CRESTON NEWS ADVERTISER ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT

6 common tax filing mistakes to avoid (BPT) - It’s probably safe to say handing cash to Uncle Sam does not top the list of your favorite things. When it comes to filing taxes, making a small mistake can mean paying more taxes than you need to or forking over cash to cover penalties.

Fortunately, there’s an easy way to make sure your tax return is mistake-free: just take a little extra time to double check your work.

Here’s a closer look at the six most common tax-filing errors and tips to help you avoid making them.

1. Mistake: Not reporting all income. Reporting your income is easy if your employer sends you a wage statement (called Form W-2) documenting what you made throughout the year. But what about the money you earned from any freelance work? Unfortunately, many people forget to report extra income from side jobs such as photography shoots, design projects and Etsy shops.

How to avoid the error: Depending on how much you earned, you may receive an “information return” called Form 1099 from the institution that paid you. There are numerous 1099 forms that report different types of income earned during the year, but in some cases you may not receive the document. For example, if you earn less than $600 as a freelance writer, the institution is not required to send you Form 1099MISC. However, you still need to include the amount earned in your total annual

income so it’s important to keep your own records of each transaction.

“To help accurately report your income, review last year’s return and match your income sources item by item,” says TaxAct Director of tax development, Mark Jaeger. “If you discover you haven’t received a 1099 for your work, last year’s return will serve as a reminder to ask about it. Keep in mind, all freelance or sidegig income is reported on Schedule C as part of your Form 1040.”

2. Mistake: Mistyping bank accounts and personal information. Believe it or not, incorrect bank account numbers or personal information - like Social Security Numbers - is one of the main reasons tax returns are rejected. Using a nickname or a shortened version of your legal name also lands near the top of the list.

How to avoid the error: Double - or triple - check any personal or bank account information before you submit your completed tax return. “If you need help figuring out account information, don’t be afraid to ask your bank for assistance,” Jaeger says.

3. Mistake: Paying too much to file your taxes.

Whether you tap a tax professional or choose a DIY tax provider that charges an arm and a leg for their product, paying too much to file your return is a mistake.

How to avoid the error: Fortunately, filers have more affordable options to choose from. When

looking for DIY options, do some comparison shopping. The leading tax preparation software providers offer similar features and benefits, but the price points can widely vary. In many cases, prices increase as the filing deadline nears. Look for a provider like TaxAct that not only offers a low price, but also guarantees your price won’t increase if you start your online return but wait to file later.

4. Mistake: Not e-filing.

While 91 percent of tax returns were e-filed in 2016, there are still filers who file a paper return. Going the pencil and paper route often means longer tax return processing times.

How to avoid the error: Electronic filing (e-filing) is the quickest and most accurate way to file your tax return. In fact, the IRS typically processes e-filed returns within 48 hours. If you’re due a refund, you’ll get it quicker if you e-file and choose direct deposit.

5. Mistake: Incorrect calculations. When the IRS receives your tax return, one of the first steps the agency takes is to check the figures to make sure they add up. Unfortunately, it’s easy to miscalculate numbers - especially if you’re in a rush or aren’t sure what to add or subtract.

How to avoid the error: First, take your time and

double check all numbers.

Second, consider using DIY tax software so you don’t have to do the math on your own.

6. Mistake: Using the wrong filing status. Choosing the wrong filing status, like Head of Household instead of Single, can have a great impact on your tax rates, the number of personal exemptions you can claim, your qualifications

for certain tax deductions, credits and more.

How to avoid the error: Before starting your return, review the five different filing statuses to help you select the one most appropriate for your tax situation. Carefully selecting the right one will help you feel confident you’re taking the right steps to maximize your tax outcome.

COMMENTARY

Upcoming conference realignment brings uncertainty The departure of any school from a conference or league at any level of sports brings with it questions that have no immediate answers.

Why leave now? What were the conditions for departure that the conference would want to address moving forward?

Could some good come of this?

What are our options moving forward in terms of adding teams or staying pat with what we’ve got?

The movers and shakers around the conference might even have to consider if there is a future for the conference as a whole.

The Pride of Iowa faces such questions and more after the announcement of the upcoming departure of charter member Interstate 35, a member of the league since its inception in the 1988-89 school year, and Pleasantville, who joined in 2001-02, for the confines of the West Central Conference in the 2018-2019 academic year, as detailed by CNA sports editor Ryan Kronberg in the Dec. 26 issue of the News Advertiser.

Plenty of local athletic directors and coaches had definitive thoughts and concerns, while others refused to officially comment on the matter of the conference’s future.

The outlook from those who

Ohiowa musings Kaleb Carter sports writer

took time to respond to questions about the situation were cautiously optimistic.

“What we have to do first is take stock of where we’re at,” Mount Ayr Athletic Director and football coach Delwyn Showalter said.

“Are we going to seek out people to replace them? Are we done with the changes in our conference? Are other people looking to leave too? I think as a conference we have to take a look at where things are and how we think it’s going to end up.”

The changes might not be done.

For all POI schools, it only makes sense to take stock of their options after this move. The move for I-35 and Pleasantville was done in-part because of the perceived stability that the West Central Conference has moving forward. It also makes sense travel-wise for parents and fans to better be able to get to games in a more travel-friendly conference, especially for the sake of Interstate 35.

“We’re obviously disappointed as a conference because they’re

two member schools who have been a good part of the conference for several years,” East Union Superintendent and Athletic Director Lance Ridgely said. “It takes us to a situation with... okay do we add people back in so we’re still at 12 or do we got to 10 and do some things that way? Scheduling becomes a question.”

Moving down from 12 teams to 10 brings with it the possibility of doing away with divisions. A number of options present themselves about the makeup of the conference, and how games will be scheduled.

“We can play the 10 teams and play everybody twice which works,” Central Decatur girls basketball coach Curtis POI | 11A CNA photo by RYAN KRONBERG

Daughton brothers push each other, share bond on mat

Heylee Shields poured in 23 points but the Creston freshmen girls hoopsters fell to the Southwest Valley junior varsity team at Creston Middle School Thursday 45-43.

Sydney Hartsock scored 11 and Emma Hanson added on eight. Danika Schultes hit a free throw.

“We got off to a slow start in the first half. We were able to get back in the game and then put some pressure on them for some quick buckets,” Creston coach Mallory Peterson said.

“Heylee was able to get a lot of good looks for us and shots were falling. We just couldn’t get it done defensively down the stretch.

Scorers for Southwest Valley included Kayley Myers (11), Jillian Simmons (10), Jordyn Figgins (6), Rylee Jacobs (6), Mazzy Hummel (4), Karlee Fisher (4), Allison Marshall (4).

MOUNT AYR — Wrestling is more than just an individual competition for the Daughton brothers.

It’s a way to spend time together during the long winter months.

While their battles in the Mount Ayr practice room, in the family’s home can be intense, there’s still plenty of mutual respect for each other.

Marcus and Cal Daughton each went 2-1 during Thursday’s quad with Bedford/Lenox, Red Oak and Maryville (Mo.) in Mount Ayr. The two also compete together in football and track and field.

Marcus, a junior, competes at 152 pounds, while Cal, a senior, is at 170.

“It’s fun spending time with each other in football, wrestling and track the last three years,” Cal Daughton said.

Cal taught Marcus several key moves.

“I’ve learned way too much from him,” Marcus said. “He started doing legs before I did. I learned it from him.”

Cal’s size gives him a bit of an edge when he battles with Marcus.

At day’s end, the goal is to help both improve.

“I want to make him better, pushing him,” Marcus said. “The weight is a big difference.”

Having little brother so close in age and skill drives older brother.

“He pushes me on the football field, on the track, makes me do better so I can’t get beat by little brother,” Cal said.

The battles in the Mount Ayr practice room can be spirited.

“It gets interesting sometimes,” said Mount Ayr coach John Ford. “It gets a little heated. When one scores on the other, it gets a little intense.

“Sometimes it’s harder than their matches.”

Both have solid skills that Ford utilizes both brothers to help the rest of the team.

“It’s good for both of them,” Ford said. “We like to have them work with other kids. It gives them a chance to work with other kids, help teach them.”

Both went 2-1 Thursday to lead the undermanned Raiders, who lost all three duals.

For both brothers, they’re taking advantage of opportunities to be in as many sports as possible, encouraged by their parents.

“You’re only in high school four years,” Cal said. “It goes by fast, so you might as well live it up.”

The Daughton’s are just one of a number of brothers and twin sets within the high school. It helps the dynamics of the teams.

“There’s a lot better team chemistry, also that brotherly chemistry,” Cal said.

For the Daughton brothers, their sights are set on big goals this postseason.

“We hope we can get farther than we did last year,” Cal said. We’ll see what we can do, get to state maybe.”

Bedford/Lenox split its two duals, defeating Mount Ayr and falling to Maryville.

Bedford/Lenox’s team has seen the injury bug ravage its lineup lately, depleting it severely.

The situation has come up at an inopportune time with sectionals quickly approaching.

“We’re trying to get over the injuries, get healed up as much as possi-

ble,” said Bedford/Lenox coach Derek Weller. “It’s the last thing you want to do is get somebody hurt, especially now. There’s no time to heal up.”

Bedford/Lenox has one more competition before sectionals, Saturday in Maryville for the Quad State Classic.

“There’s some things to work on,” Weller said. “We look forward to going into Saturday. Hopefully we’ll have a good day Saturday, then we’ll be doing a lot of drilling.”

Both the Murray Lady Mustangs and the Diagonal Maroonettes were bounced from the winners bracket of the Bluegrass Conference tournament Thursday.

Seymour 50, Diagonal 47 Diagonal fell 50-47 to Seymour in a contest played at Melcher-Dallas Thursday.

The Maroonettes will play in the third place game against the Lady Mustangs Saturday at 2:30 p.m.

GV Christian 50, Murray 39 The Lady Mustangs competed evenly with Grand View Christian for three quarters before falling 5039.

Free throw troubles doomed Murray, as the Lady Mustangs shot just 3-of-16 from the charity stripe in a close game.

Katie Otto stuffed the stat sheet with 12 points, 11 rebounds and three assists.

Zadie Hatfield scored nine points, grabbed five rebounds, dished out two assists and stole the ball five times.

The Lady Mustangs shot 17-of-42 from the floor (40.5 percent), but turnovers led to the loss.

“Too many turnovers and too many missed free throws led to our undoing on Thursday evening,” Murray coach Jerry Shields said. “Against a good team, you can not have that many unforced turnovers.”

The Maroonettes and Lady Mustangs’ third-place matchup will be anticipated by both squads as Diagonal defeated Murray (13-4) 4137 Dec. 2.

Grand View Christian and Seymour will play for the Bluegrass Conference championship Saturday at Melcher-Dallas with tip set for 6 p.m.

East Union 64, O-M 29 ORIENT — The East Union Eagles earned an emphatic win over the Orient-Macksburg Bulldogs girls basketball team, the Eagles’ first win over the Bulldogs in their last four tries.

Sidney McFee jump-started the Eagle offense with 12 first-half points and 18 overall as East Union shot out to a 22-2 lead. Callie Gossman and Olivia Eckels played add-on and combined for 27 points. Mara Weis (5), Jessica Kelly (4), Macy McFee (4), Ashley Malone (2), Kendra Kirkland (2) and Lauren Mitchell (2) all scored for the Eagles.

Kaela Eslinger’s seven points led the Bulldogs.

Hailey Johnson scored six, while Haylee Gardner, Riley Rasmussen and Katie Walter each scored four points each. Cameo Walker and Caitlyn Buckman tallied three and one points respectively.

UP NEXT — East Union (3-14, 2-10) travels to Martensdale-St. Marys (7-9, 6-6) Friday for a 6:15 p.m. game. Orient-Macksburg (3-13, 2-8).

Coming off rare road win, Bulldogs set to face red hot UNI Saturday ■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES — Drake’s men’s basketball team went through its share of low moments early in the season, moments that tested the resolve of this Bulldogs club.

Little by little, things are starting to turn around inside the Knapp Center and the adjacent Sievers Practice Facility.

The latest positive turn came Tuesday when the Bulldogs picked up their first win away from the Knapp Center in two years.

Now Drake has an opportunity to see how far its progress has come Saturday.

Drake, 7-14 overall, 5-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference, hosts in-state rival Northern Iowa, 9-11, 4-5, Saturday at the Knapp Center. Tip off is set for 1 p.m. in Des Moines.

The smiles in the locker room after the 72-71 overtime win at Missouri State could’ve warmed up the coldest of late-January days in Des Moines.

“The only way I can describe it is it’s a genuine brotherhood and love for each other,” said Casey Schlatter during a press conference Thursday at the Knapp Center. “The genuine love and happiness we had for each other, the only way I can describe it is a brotherhood.”

The team’s chemistry, love for each other has helped them through the tough times.

Now they’re experiencing success.

Drake’s win Tuesday was their first win in Springfield since 2001. The last time the Bulldogs won in Springfield, Missouri State was still playing in the John Q. Hammons Student Center before JHQ Arena was built.

A moment in the locker room left a lasting impression in the mind of interim Drake head coach Jeff Rutter.

“I’ve been doing this for a long time. There’s certain pictures I’ve seen throughout the years. One the other night ranks at the top,” Rutter said. “(Drake Sports Information Director) Ty Patton took a still shot of a handful of guys taking a selfie. The smiles on their faces were off the chart.”

That image in time captured what the last few weeks have been like for the Bulldogs.

“That’s what this deal is about,” Rutter said. “It’s what I think about. We want to create more of those opportunities.”

Drake went through its share of tough, close losses earlier in the season.

“A bunch of us were talking about it that we didn’t know how to close out,” Schlatter said.

The turnaround started in the Missouri Valley Conference opener when Drake topped Loyola (IL) 102-98 at the Knapp Center.

Drake led by as many as 20 in that game before having to hold on late.

was struggling in the midst of a 1-7 stretch.

Since then, Rutter has helped change the culture around the program in his first opportunity to be a head coach at the Division 1 level.

“It’s unreal. You look at the position that guy’s been in. He’s been working his tail off in this business for 20-some years. He gets a D-1 chance in the middle of the season,” Schlatter said.

“It’s not the most opportune time.

Northern Iowa, and Drake feature a contrast in styles. While the Bulldogs will look to run, the Panthers will look to slow it down.

“We’ve got to stay as much true to ourselves as we can,” Schlatter said.

“They will try to dictate it.

We’ve got to play our game.

They’ll play their style and we’ll play ours. We’ve got to play ours as much as we can, try to dictate theirs and speed up the game.”

Northern Iowa comes in on a four game winning streak and is showing signs of turning its season around.

The Panthers’ hot streak started with a 79-60 drubbing of Drake at the McLeod Center on Jan. 15.

“We take on a hot team and I’d like to think we helped them get started,” Rutter sad. “They beat us like a drum. We knew going in they are a very talented team..”

The Panthers feature an inside presence in Bennett Koch and all-around play from Jeremy Morgan.

“Anytime you face a team with strong balance it’s a challenge,” Rutter said.

Murray senior Dustin Teas shoots during the Mustangs’ game against Ankeny Christian this month. Murray, ranked eighth in the latest Class 1A Associated Press boys basketball poll, takes on Ankeny Christian in the semifinal of the Bluegrass Conference Tournament tonight (Friday) at 7:30 p.m. at Melcher-Dallas.

“When we closed that game out, this is what we have to do,” Schlatter said.

“We have to prepare for closing down the stretch.”

Now they’re able to close out those tight games. ”We’re not the same team,” Schlatter said. “We know this is what we have to do, what we need to to do close out those games.”

Rutter saw the potential of this team coming into the season.

They’ve tapped into it deeply at the end of the nonconference portion of the schedule, and even more so since Missouri Valley Conference play started.

“It’s a group of guys that have had talent that have found some confidence,” Rutter said. “We felt it was a matter of time. We felt it all along from the beginning of the season that we were a good club with talent and veteran guys.”

The win over Loyola was a key, as well as a loss at Illinois State.

“With each experience they’ve had, they’ve grown from it,” Rutter said. “They learned from it. It’s easy to take things from wins.

We’ve taken things from losses.”

All of those experiences helped Tuesday in the win at Missouri State.

“All of these guys have a level of confidence where they have a good look they feel like they can step up and make it,” Rutter said.

“They make plays for their teammates.”

Rutter stepped into a challenging situation earlier this season. Former coach Ray Giacoletti abruptly resigned on Dec. 6. The team

Boothe said. “If there are a couple of teams wanting to come into the conference, having 12, we’ve made that work for a number of years.

Whatever they decide we’ll go with and have our schedule ready.”

Based on the sport, coaches will have differing thoughts on the distinction between 10, 12, or even a different number of programs.

“I think a 10-team conference wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing,” Showalter said.

“On the other hand, if there’s people out there who are interested in joining us and they’re a good fit, if they’re going to add something to the table for our conference then I’d be willing to take a look at that.”

The idea of having an outright champion in sports like baseball, softball and volleyball instead of split champions based on divisions is one alluring idea of a 10-team conference.

The inevitability of realignment and the need to evaluate a school district’s options will always be present. Coaches, athletic directors, administrators are keenly aware of that fact at all times.

“I think it’s the nature, there’s a little flux in those conferences every once in a while and we’ll just have to deal with it,” Ridgely said.

Deal with it they will.

Change is coming to the Pride of Iowa, the extent of which is unknown. For now, plenty will be done behind closed doors to take stock of all available options.

Other schools may even be looking to poach members of the conference while uncertainty is in the air.

The athletic directors and principals of the schools, the two figures making up the Board of Control for the POI, will examine options for the schools in the conference going forward. Any possible options would likely be taken back to a school district’s school board for much further examination.

It is this group of administrators that will field any new inquiries about teams interested in joining the POI or just gauging interest.

This is the type of situation facing schools consistently.

It’s just more pertinent to the Pride of Iowa at the moment. Where the conference and its member schools head will be seen in time.

Until then, we can watch with great interest as the dominoes begin to fall and the chain of events begin to unfold.

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, January 27, 2017

Drake has five in-state players on the roster.

It adds fuel to the in-state rivalry.

“It’s become a very competitive series,” Baranczyk said.

“There’s a lot respect for both sides. A lot of them have played against each other in high school, in AAU on the same team.”

Drake’s perimeter defense will be tested by Northern Iowa’s shooters.

“They shoot the ball well from the outside,” Baranczyk said. “It will be a challenge for us. We have to protect the three-point line. They’re a good shooting team.” The Bulldogs would like to see the game’s pace pick up.

“A big key for us is we want to play up-tempo,” Baranczyk said. “The half court and rebounding will be key.

We have go make sure we do all of those things.”

Tonight’s matchup will reveal much about both sides in the first of two meetings. The Panthers and Bulldogs play at the Knapp Center on Feb. 24.

“It will be a great test,” Baranczyk said. “It will be a fun game in a fun environment. I know they’ll have a great crowd. We’ll bring a great crowd. It will be really fun to see how much

we’ve learned.”

Drake’s three seniors have helped bring a winning culture back to the women’s basketball program, joined with a solid mix of younger players.

“Some of the biggest keys for us has been our senior leadership,” Baranczyk said. “We’ve got three seniors who have had quite a bit of experience. They’ve really changed the culture. At the same time, we have a lot of younger players. Most of them are freshman and sophomores. It’s fun.

It’s been an interesting mix.”

Drake’s lineup is diverse offensively and defensively, creating matchup problems for opposing teams.

“We have multiple scorers on the floor, multiple people who want to play aggressive on the defensive end, rebound,” Baranczyk said. “We’ve always played multiple people. That’s something we take pride in.”

Southeast Polk product Caitlin Ingle runs the offense, with senior Lizzy Wendell having key contributions in the post.

No matter the result of tonight’s game, the Bulldogs know they can play much better yet.

“The sky’s the limit for this team,” Baranczyk said. “I don’t think we’re close to the sky yet. We’re focused and determined. We know our strengths, know what we need to get better at.”

justifying a fresh look by the courts.

The majority concluded Friday that changes in environmental laws have not undermined the basis for the drainage districts’ immunity, because the districts have limited purposes for existing and limited governmental power.

“While attitudes toward the environment may differ today from when the first drainage tiles were placed generations ago, tort claims based on alleged pollution are nothing new,” the court said.

• FAVORITE CLASS AT SWCC: I would say Comp I with Kelly Franklin.

• HOMETOWN: AFTON The court said Iowa law “immunizes farmers who comply with fertilizer label instructions from liability for nitrate contamination, including money damage claims or cleanup costs.

We defer to the legislature whether to reassess that policy choice.”

The opinion is written by Thomas Waterman and fully supported by Edward Mansfield and Bruce Zager. Chief Justice Mark Cady and Brent Appel agreed with the outcome but said they believe Water Works likely has some avenues to pursue action against the drainage districts.

The case returns to federal court for further proceedings.

• FAMILY: I have six siblings –

• AGE: 18

The utility wanted U.S. District Judge Mark Bennett, who initially oversaw the case, to ask the high court to clarify the issue of immunity for drainage districts and whether the utility has a constitutional right to challenge the drainage districts.

Attorneys for the agriculture drainage districts sought clarification from the Supreme Court.

Bennett said the novel legal issues presented in the case deserve the attention of the state’s highest court because of its public importance and that many of the legal issues haven’t been directly addressed by Iowa’s highest court or federal courts.

Iowa State students find success in barbecue sauce AMES – Two years ago, Iowa State University (ISU) freshman Michael Hanstad and Tyler DeVos wanted to put their business classes to practical use. They started their business, DeadEye Premium Barbecue Sauce, with Creston native Aaron Chapman and their own determination to succeed.

Now, DeadEye is in every Fareway and 19 Hy-Vees in Iowa.

When Hanstad and De-

Vos came to ISU, both were immediately interested in the idea of owning their own business. They brainstormed in their dorm room to determine what type of business they would have the highest opportunity to succeed in but still enjoy doing. DeadEye Barbecue Sauce was born.

“We’re incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to start our own business and watch it grow,” Hanstad said.

“We’re thankful for our customers, family, friends and professors for all of their support.”

Founded in 2014, DeadEye Premium Barbecue Sauce is a small business committed to excellence and quality in all things barbecue. They strive to support local communities through every phase of the business and look to provide the best line of barbecue sauce in America.
