Library board to interview architect firms this month

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

Later this month, Creston Library Board will be interviewing two architect firms with the intention of hiring one to create sketches for an expansion at Gibson Memorial Library near uptown Creston.

The first interview is with OPN Architects of Des Moines on Dec. 10. The second is with Invision Architecture of Des Moines on Dec. 15.

“You’re looking for these Houk architects to tell you the strengths and weaknesses of this site and what are the possibilities at Gibson,” said Mandy Houk, consultant for the library board. “Do we go up instead of out? Do we need extra land from the surrounding area?”

Once interviews with the architect firms are complete and one is hired, the board plans to present all the expansion possibilities to the Coulter public.

The “Thinking Bigger” sign that once was located at Lincoln School in Creston has been moved to the front of Gibson Memorial Library. The library board is interviewing architect firms later this month to garner expansion possibilities at the site.

“We need public input.

They need to be part of this,” said Ann Coulter, president of the library board.

Houk reported there are currently 68 “champions” for the expansion at Gibson Memorial Library. This group communicates regularly and, if interested, contact her at

mandy.k@mchsi.com.

In other library board news: • Houk continues to work with Websites to Impress of Carroll on the library’s new website. This website is expected to be more user friendly and ready to “go live” early in 2015.

• Coulter reported 30 teens are in the Friends of the Library reading club.

This group called the “Afterthoughts” reads the same book and meets regularly with their leader for discussion. This group has expanded from 10 members in July to now 30 in December.

Public meets to discuss pipeline FORT MADISON (AP) — Supporters and opponents of a proposed oil pipeline that would cut across Iowa heard from officials Monday as they tried to answer questions about the safety of the project.

Hundreds of people showed up for the public meeting in Fort Madison about the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline, the Burlington Hawkeye reported. Several other meetings were scheduled around the state.

Representatives from the

Officials said contract workers will dig five feet below the Mississippi River bed to set up the oil pipeline.

■

Iowa Utilities Board, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and Energy Transfer Partners — the lead company — were present to hear some people express concern about the project’s impact on possible property damage and potential water contamination.

“Our drinking water comes

from the Mississippi River.

What happens when your poison leaks into our drinking water?” asked Matthew Crowe, of Donnellson. “We need to think about what’s happening to our water.”

Officials said contract workers will dig five feet below the Mississippi River bed to set up the pipe. Chuck

Frey, vice president of engineering for Energy Transfer Partners, also said landowners will be compensated for any damage to property, livestock and crops.

“We want to be as clear and transparent as possible,” he said.

Others expressed full support for the project and its potential economic impact.

“If it will bring jobs to the area, we need to go through Please see PIPELINE, Page 10

New focus: No Child Left Behind WASHINGTON (AP) — The No Child Left Behind education law could be making a political comeback.

Sen. Lamar Alexander, the Tennessee Republican who is the incoming chairman of the Senate committee overseeing education, says his top education priority is fixing the landmark Bush-era law. His goal?

Get a bill signed by President Barack Obama early next year.

Doing so will require bipar-

tisanship that’s been elusive since the law, primarily designed to help minority and poor children, came up for renewal in 2007.

The law requires schools to show annual growth in student achievement or face consequences, with all students expected to be proficient in reading and math this year. It has been credited with shining a light on how schools handle minority, low-income, English learners and special

needs students, but led to complaints that teachers were teaching to standardized tests and that mandates were unrealistic and penalties ineffective.

Obama since 2012 has allowed states to get a waiver from some of the more stringent requirements of the law, but they had to agree to requirements such as adopting college and career ready standards — like Common Core — and implementing

The Union County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a new contract at their regularly scheduled meeting Monday for Union County Engineer Steve Akes.

The two-year contract includes a 2 percent raise.

“We were satisfied with the way he works and we work well with him,” Supervisor Ron Riley said. “All of the neAkes gotiations were very good.”

Public hearing A public hearing is set for 10 a.m. Dec. 15 for comments regarding the potential change of two stretches of road on 190th Street and Lark Avenue in Highland township from “B” classification to “C.” According to Iowa Code 309.57, “B” and “C” road classifications must be adequately marked to warn the public they are entering a section of the road which has a lesser level of maintenance effort than other public roads. For “C” roads, the public must be warned of the limited access.

“All the landowners wanted the gates up to keep traffic out,” Riley said. “That section of road doesn’t really go anywhere and it will help keep people from dumping trash or tearing up the roads.”

A “C” classification road may have restricted access and a minimal level of maintenance as specified by the county board of supervisors.

The roads can only be classified as “C” by an ordinance or resolution. It may specify who has access to the road and it can be restricted by a gate or barrier.

Deaths Teresa Boswell Corning

Mass of Christian Burial for 89 year old Teresa M. Boswell of Corning, Iowa will be held at 10:30 Boswell a . m . , Wednesday, December 3, 2014 at St. Patrick Catholic Church with Father Lazarus Kirigia and Father Tan Tran celebrants. Interment will be at the St. Timothy Catholic Cemetery/ Reno, in rural Cass County, Iowa. Open visitation is from 1 to 8:00 p.m Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at Pearson Family Funeral service in Corning. The Rosary will be said at 5:30 p.m. and the family will be present from 6 to 8:00 p.m. Memorial contributions may be directed to St. Patrick Catholic Church in Corning.

Online condolences may be left at pearsonfuneralhomes.com.

Teresa Mary (Eblen) Boswell was born to Glen John and Maude Nell (Starlin) Eblen on August 9, 1925 at her parent’s home six miles south of Massena.

She passed away at Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs on November 30, 2014.

Teresa was the youngest of three children. She and her brothers grew up on the Eblen family farm near Massena. She went to country school a mile south of their home. Her father was a farmer and her mother was a nurse. Along with her father, she loved to ride horses.

She attended and graduated from Corning High School in the class of 1942.

During high school she met her future husband and the love of her life, Bill Boswell.

In Teresa’s words: “The first time I saw Bill Boswell was when he stepped on the school bus on my first day of high school. Although we didn’t date for more than two years later, I think it was love at first sight for us both.”

Bill and Teresa were married December 22, 1943 at St. Patrick Catholic Church, Audubon, Ia. They lived in a small house near the Dale and Ethel Calkins farm south of Cumberland.

Bill worked for Dale until he was drafted into the army in December of 1944.

During Bill’s time in the military Teresa and their daughter Connie lived with Teresa’s parents.

When Bill returned from the service in 1946 they moved to the Boswell family farm north of Corning.

Together, they spent the following 40 years farming and raising their family.

Teresa always raised a large vegetable garden and spent many hours canning and freezing produce for her large family. She also raised a flock of chickens

that provided both eggs and meat.

Teresa enjoyed sewing.

She made many of her children’s clothes. In later years she designed and sewed many prom, wedding and bridesmaid dresses for her daughters and granddaughters. She crocheted and quilted cozy blankets and baby quilts for grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She also embroidered beautiful pillow case sets for each of her grandchildren.

Teresa’s family was her pride and joy. In later years the first thing she told people when meeting them for the first time was about her large, wonderful family.

She in turn was very much loved by her family. Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren looked forward to stopping for one of her “world famous” cinnamon rolls. A child or grandchild who needed a willing ear to listen to a problem or some exciting news in their life, always found one in Grandma who was ready to listen and either sympathize or celebrate with them depending on the situation.

Teresa’s faith was of great importance to her and she drew on that faith to guide her throughout her life. She was a devout Catholic and a member of St. Timothy Catholic Church south of Cumberland. She was a member of the Altar Society and helped with many wedding showers and receptions, funeral dinners, fund raisers and other church functions.

Bill and Teresa retired from farming in 1987 and moved to their new home in Corning.

Bill passed away in August of 1989. Teresa continued to reside in their home in Corning. She joined and was an active member of St. Patrick Catholic Church and Altar Society. She sang in the church choir for several years. She served as a volunteer at the Dollar Shop and the Meals on Wheels program. She also provided support for many friends and neighbors in the community.

Teresa was preceded in death by her husband Bill Boswell, her parents, her brother, Dale Eblen, brother and sister-in-law Dudley and Vivian Eblen, Bill’s parents Fred and Eleanor Boswell, her brother-in-law and sister-in-law Dalton and Lillie Boswell and her nephew, Renny Boswell.

Teresa is survived by her 12 children: Connie Pettinger (Bernard), Dale Boswell (Janet), John Boswell (Shirley), Tom Boswell (special friend, Karen McClelland), Katie Brennan (John), Jenny Sinning (David), Barbara Wimmer (Bob), Patty Mack (Tony), Fred Boswell (Bonnie), Glen Boswell (Rhonda), Teresa Cullen (Jeff), Julie Boswell, 56 grandchildren, 68 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great grandchildren.

OPINION The Ferguson fraud

The bitter irony of the Michael Brown case is that if he had actually put his hands up and said, “Don’t shoot,” he almost certainly would be alive today.

His family would have been spared an unspeakable loss, and Ferguson, Missouri, wouldn’t have experienced multiple bouts of rioting, including the torching of at least a dozen businesses the night it was announced that Officer Darren Wilson wouldn’t be charged with a crime.

Instead, the credible evidence suggests that Michael Brown — after an act of petty robbery at a local business — attacked Officer Wilson when Wilson stopped him on the street. Brown punched the officer when he was still in his patrol car, and attempted to take his gun from him.

The first shots were fired inside the car in the struggle over the gun.

Then, Brown ran. If he hadn’t put

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

his hands up, but merely kept running away, he also would almost certainly be alive today. Again, according to the credible evidence, he turned back and rushed Wilson.

The officer shot several times, but Brown kept on coming until Wilson finally killed him.

The case is a terrible tragedy. But it isn’t a metaphor for police brutality or race repression or anything else, and it never was. Aided and abetted by a compliant national media, the Ferguson protestors spun a dishonest or misinformed version of what happened — Michael Brown murdered in cold blood while trying to surrender — into a meme and a chant (“Hands up, don’t shoot”),

and then a mini-movement.

When the facts didn’t back their narrative, they dismissed the facts and retreated into paranoid suspicion of the legal system. The grand jury process was rigged, they complained, because St. Louis prosecutor Robert McCulloch didn’t seek an indictment of Wilson and instead allowed the grand jury to hear all of the evidence and make its own decision. Who could really object to a grand jury hearing everything in such a sensitive case?

Then, there is the argument that Wilson should have been indicted so there could be a trial “to determine the facts.” If a jury of Wilson’s peers didn’t believe there was enough evidence to establish probable cause to indict him, though, there was no way a jury of his peers was going to convict him of a crime, which requires the more stringent standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Besides, we don’t try people for crimes they almost certainly didn’t commit just to satisfy a mob that will throw things at the police and burn down local businesses if it doesn’t get its way. If the grand jury had given in to the pressure from the streets and indicted as an act of appeasement, the mayhem most likely would only have been delayed until the inevitable acquittal in a trial. The agitators of Ferguson have proven themselves proficient at destroying other people’s property, no matter what the rationale.

Liberal commentators come back again and again to the fact that Michael Brown was unarmed and that, in the struggle between the two, Officer Wilson only sustained bruises to his face. The subtext is that if only Wilson had allowed Brown to beat him up and perhaps take his gun, things wouldn’t have had to escalate.

There is good reason for a po-

lice officer to be in mortal fear in the situation Officer Wilson faced, though. In upstate New York last March, a police officer responded to a disturbance call at an office when suddenly a disturbed man pummeled the officer as he was attempting to exit his vehicle, and then grabbed his gun and shot him dead. The case didn’t become a national metaphor for anything.

Ferguson, on the other hand, has never lacked for media coverage, although the narrative of a police execution always seemed dubious and now has been exposed as, essentially, a fraud. “Hands up, don’t shoot” is a good slogan. If only it was what Michael Brown had done last August.

House Republicans were reported considering disinviting President Obama HOLLYWOOD—Happy Tuesday, everybody, and God bless America.

Black Friday lured hordes of shoppers to retail stores for bargains Friday. It was calm compared to Thanksgiving dinner. At dinner tables across America Thursday, parents, kids, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins were doing just fine for about fifteen minutes and then someone mentioned Obama.

Amherst University cut off all ties with Bill Cosby due to the accusations swirling around him all during Thanksgiving week. His secret life seems horribly at odds with his public persona. The good news is, he’s just been offered to play the title role in a Broadway play called Dr. Huxtable and Mr. Hyde.

The Las Vegas Tourism and Convention Bureau predicts a record number of tourists in Las Vegas for Christmas through New Year’s Day. There’s just one drawback. The pollen count is so high this time of year in the Mojave Desert that the junkies are trying to convert their crystal meth back into Sudafed.

President Obama pardoned two turkeys presented to him by the National Turkey Federation at the annual ceremony at the White House Wednesday. Their names are Mac and Cheese. After they received their presidential pardon, the turkeys each received a driver’s license and registered Democrat.

Mexico’s president Enrique

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Pena Nieto proposed issuing a national ID card for Mexican citizens Friday. That would help. If you’re a Mexican and cops pull you over in Mexico, they need to see something more than your Los Angeles water and electricity bill to make sure you aren’t an American.

The New York Mercantile Exchange saw oil fall to sixty-six dollars a barrel Friday after OPEC decided not to cut production.

Gasoline is a dollar and a half per gallon cheaper in Los Angeles than just six months ago. Hummers have resumed playing soccer on Sunset Boulevard with Smart Cars as the ball.

House Republicans were reported considering disinviting President Obama from giving his State of the Union speech in the House Chamber in January. What a shame. This is the speech where the president opens up by saying the State of the Union is strong, and it’s the biggest laugh he gets all year.

A U.S. arbitrator ruled Friday the NFL can’t punish Ray Rice twice for hitting his fiancee in a hotel elevator last summer. Last week, Johnny Manziel got in a fight with a fan on an elevator.

Clinical researchers warn that NFL players have developed an

immunity to the calming effect of elevator music.

Episcopalians in Rhode Island opened a museum dedicated to the slave trade in Providence and the church’s role in it. That’s really so overboard. While it’s true that Episcopalians weren’t exactlly welcome in Baptist Rhode Island, the only cotton Episcopalians ever picked was out of an aspirin bottle.

WalMart reported that home electronics, flat-screen TVs and laptops, tablets and smartphones were top sellers on Friday. The Best Buy website was so busy that it crashed for an hour. Everyone would have health care insurance in America if ObamaCare had just offered an iPad with each policy.

The Democratic National Committee emailed talking points to Democrats to slip into the family dinner conversations during this holiday season. It never ends. It’s one thing to criticize the baked potatoes, but have the Republicans offered a plan to fix the baked potatoes besides repealing them?

President Obama urged Congress to pass an immigration reform bill Tuesday which he said will bring millions of illegals out of the shadows. However, many illegals prefer the tax-free life in the shadows, though they would also like to qualify for federal benefits someday. The Democrats are in favor of immigration reform, Republicans oppose immigration reform, and immigrants are still on the fence.

Cosby testimony describes accuser’s spiked story PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bill Cosby testified under oath in 2005 that he gave the National Enquirer an exclusive interview about looming sexual-assault accusations by a Canadian woman against him in exchange for the tabloid spiking a second accuser’s story.

Excerpts released Wednesday of Cosby’s deposition from a civil lawsuit filed by Andrea Constand quote Cosby as saying he feared the public would believe her sexual-assault accusations if the Enquirer published similar claims by

Beth Ferrier. Both women accused Cosby of drugging and molesting them.

“Did you ever think that if Beth Ferrier’s story was printed in the National Enquirer, that that would make the public believe that maybe Andrea was also telling the truth?” Cosby was asked.

“Exactly,” Cosby replied, according to court motions initially filed under seal and made available from archived federal court records.

Cosby, in the deposition, said he had a contract with the Enquirer.

“I would give them an exclusive story, my words,” Cosby said in the Sept. 29, 2005, deposition. In return, “they would not print the story of — print Beth’s story.”

The release of the documents comes after Cosby this month was shown on an Associated Press video trying to persuade the news cooperative not to use his response when asked this month about sexual-abuse allegations.

“I would appreciate if it was scuttled,” Cosby said in

a videotaped exchange with the AP on Nov. 6.

Cosby said in 2005 he had been given a draft of Ferrier’s interview with the Enquirer and was told she had passed its lie-detector test.

He said he also was given an advance look at his exclusive, titled “My Story,” which warned that he would defend against anyone trying to “exploit” him.

Constand later sued Cosby and the Enquirer, alleging defamation. The claims were consolidated with her sexual-assault lawsuit

against Cosby and were settled.

A representative for American Media, Inc., which owns the National Enquirer, said in an emailed statement Wednesday that the Enquirer was “unflinching” in its coverage of the allegations against Cosby.

“We continue to remain aggressive in our reporting today and stand by the integrity of our coverage of this story which we have taken the lead on for more than a decade,” the representative said.

Old magazines need new readers Dear Heloise: In the past, you provided names of organizations that accepted canceled stamps and old greeting cards.

Do you know of any in the California area that take old National Geographic MAGAZINES? I have always hated to throw out these magazines because of the beautiful pictures. — Pat O. in California Pat, you and millions of my readers feel the same way!

Unfortunately, that means millions of magazines, too!

Here is a place to start: Call retirement homes, hospitals, schools (especially elementary, where they do a lot of arts and crafts) or prisons in your area. They might have a good use for them. Of course, they can be recycled, too, so don’t feel bad if you put them in the recycle bin!

There also is information on the website www.nationalgeographic.com, where you can post notices about your collection and see others that are available. Any other hints, readers? — Heloise FLUSHED WATER Dear Heloise: My refrigerator has a water filter. It has to be replaced approximately every six months. After it is installed, I have to run 2 and 1/2 gallons of water through the

Hints from Heloise line. Is this water safe to water plants with? I hate just pouring it down the drain. — Shirley B., via email Hi, Shirley, and thanks for asking a question a lot of people wonder about. Don’t waste water! Yes, you can use this water for plants, to rinse dishes or to wipe off countertops.

There may be some little bits of gray stuff floating about, but don’t worry — these are just particles of the carbon from the filter that the water runs through. — Heloise STOP STATIC Dear Heloise: Winter’s here, and with drier air comes static electricity. To control it, before getting dressed, just rub a little lotion into your skin. It doesn’t take much.

If you have dressed and the static cling attacks because you forgot lotion, head for the restroom. Get your hands barely damp, then rub over whatever is clinging. — Juanita in Ohio STORAGE RACK Dear Heloise: I was going

SPORTS THE NUMBERS GAME

6

With Miami’s win Monday night, there are 6 teams tied for the final playoff spot in the AFC at 7-5.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Fins stay alive EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Miami Dolphins found the right formula to stay in the AFC playoff race: Simply let the Jets run the ball all night, and wait for New York to make mistakes.

It worked effectively in an old-fashioned -- some might say dull -- slugfest.

Caleb Sturgis’ third field goal, from 26 yards with 1:57 remaining, gave Miami (7-5) a comeback 16-13 victory over its archrival.

New York (2-10) rushed for 277 yards on 49 carries, but made enough key errors in the second half to lose. The Dolphins remained a factor in the wild-card race thanks to special teams; rookie Jarvis Landry’s eight receptions; Lamar Miller’s 4-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter; and plenty of defense when the Jets needed to pass.

Cruz signs SEATTLE — Veteran outfielder Nelson Cruz has agreed to a multiyear deal with the Seattle Mariners, pending a physical, a league source confirmed to ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick.

A source told ESPNdeportes.com’s Enrique Rojas the two sides agreed on a four-year, $57 million deal that also includes a $1 million signing bonus.

With the Baltimore Orioles last season, the 34-year-old Cruz led the majors with 40 home runs and finished third in the American League with 108 RBIs.

AP Poll Those young Kentucky Wildcats still have a firm grasp on the No. 1 spot in the AP Top 25 poll. And the team they lost to in April’s national championship game in North Texas no longer is ranked.

Kentucky (7-0), outscoring opponents by an NCAA-best 36.8 points a game, again got 62 of 65 first-place votes Monday in the new rankings. No. 2 Wisconsin (7-0) was on top of the remaining ballots after winning the Battle 4 Atlantis championship in the Bahamas last week.

While the top of the poll held steady, Nos. 2125 are all teams that were unranked last week, highlighted by No. 21 Maryland, the highest-ranked newcomer. Among the five falling out was defending national champion Connecticut (3-2), which lost its second straight game against a Big 12 team.

Arizona and Duke remained third and fourth.

Louisville, Texas, Virginia, Wichita State, Gonzaga and Villanova rounded out the top 10.

Woods practices Asked about his physical health Monday, Tiger Woods said he is fired up for his return to competitive golf after recovering from the back injuries that have kept him off the PGA Tour since August.

“I feel great,” Woods said in an appearance on SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio. “I feel really, really good. It’s great to be back out here competing again.

I’ve missed it quite a bit.”

Second-half run fuels Panthers past Winterset

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

A timeout with 6:55 remaining in the third quarter made all the difference in the world for the Creston girls basketball team in a 56-43 win over Winterset here on Monday.

The Panthers went into halftime trailing 28-22 to a Winterset team that shot lights out from behind the 3-point arc.

After a lackadaisical turnover gave Winterset an easy layup and a 30-22 lead, Panther head coach Brent Douma called a timeout and got after his team, challenging his players to start playing the game.

The Panthers responded with a 19-3 run over the next eight minutes of game play, building a 41-33 lead over the visiting Huskies.

“I just felt we came out flat,” Douma said. “I really thought we’d come out with a little more energy than we did, and I thought it was time to kind of do something different at that point. We just had to get after them a little. I was very happy with how they responded, because I don’t know. I’ve never done that with this group of girls before, so you don’t know how they’re going to react.

I was really happy with how they did react.”

Coming out of the timeout, Creston clamped down on defense, and in particular, on UNI recruit Mariah Criswell.

Creston junior Taylor Briley dribbles around the defense of Winterset’s Ally Pickering during the second half of Creston’s 56-43 win over the Huskies on Monday. Briley scored 16 points and shot 6-of-9 from the free throw line in the victory.

Mostek shadowed Criswell around the court for the remainder of the game, holding her to just four Mostek points after the timeout.

“You see she (Criswell) only got six points in the second half and missed three free throws,” Douma said. “So that tells you one, that she’s tired and two, Natalie wore her out

and got her frustrated.

“Natalie, you have to take your hat off to her, because she’s been sick for about four or five days and she was hurting here tonight. She never came out that second half. She just played that girl and Mariah had to come out several times. We challenged her to dig down and find something inside, and she did.”

Mostek sparked the Panther run on the other end of the floor, too, with an offensive rebound and putback. She followed it up with a 3-pointer off a

pass from Brenna Baker to draw the Panthers to within 30-27. Taylor Briley’s drive for a layup cut it to 30-29.

After Winterset hit a 3-pointer to make it 3329, the Panthers started pounding the ball inside to Jenna Taylor, who had a mismatch in the post.

Taylor finished with a g a m e high 21 points, including 13 points

in the second half. Alli Thomsen, coming off the bench, finished with three assists on entry p a s s e s Thomsen that got Taylor open in the post.

“We went smaller tonight, because even going smaller, we were bigger than they were,” Douma said. “We had that mismatch inside with Jenna and Alli fed her over the top a bunch of times on ball reversal. Jenna had some nice, easy layups at that point.”

Mostek and Briley joined Taylor in double figures, as Briley finished with 16 points and Mostek added 13.

Rebounding and free throws were also key to the Panther victory.

Creston pulled down 45 total rebounds, led by Mostek’s 14 boards and Taylor’s 13. Taylor grabbed five offensive rebounds, as did Cammy Rutherford, who finished with eight total rebounds.

The Panthers also shot 14-of-18 at the free throw line, compared to just 1-7 for Winterset.

“We knocked them down, 14 out of 18 and we made them down the stretch,” Douma said. “You know, when they hit that three (with 1:36 remaining), it’s Please see PANTHERS, page 8A

Spartans hit 15 threes in 90-58 victory

Lack of Big 12 title game could help TCU, Baylor

DES MOINES — Southwestern men drained 15 3-pointers in running away from Grand View JV Monday night, 90-58.

The Spartans sank 10 of their 3-pointers after posting a 39-32 halftime lead.

Southwestern (9-0) took advantage of Grand View’s defensive switch after the opening 10 minutes.

“They were smaller and had some matchup problems in man-to-man when we were getting it inside to Mataika (Koyamainavure) so they zoned us pretty much the whole game after that,” SWCC coach Todd Lorensen said. “We shot it well. We were getting quality looks. We got some penetration against the zone and found o p e n shooters on the perimeter.”

J o s h Bower

DES MOINES (AP) — The final weekend in the Big 12 will illustrate both the risk and reward that come with the league’s decision to do away with its title game.

The lack of a championship game might not always work out for the Big 12 in the playoff era.

This year, it could help push Baylor and TCU into the final four.

While the rest of the nation’s top playoff contenders face title-game showdowns — or elimination games, depending on how they play — the Big 12 wraps up its regular season with three games that are part of its round-robin schedule with 10 teams.

No. 5 Baylor (10-1, 7-1 Big 12), which was 7th in last week’s playoff standings, will get one more chance to boost its resume when it hosts No. 9 Kansas State (9-2, 7-1) on Saturday. No. 4 TCU (10-1, 7-1) entertains woeful Iowa State (2-9, 0-8), while No. 18 Oklahoma (8-3, 5-3) and Oklahoma State (5-6, 3-5) tangle in Norman.

“I think the fact of the matter is there will be some years, like this one, where we feel just great about where

Tolbert and freshman TJ Bower of Nodaway Valley each made four 3-pointers.

Jaylon Smith had three triples. Josh Kirk had a teamhigh 18 points off the bench.

This was the first of seven games in 17 days for the Spartans, who hit the road again Wednesday to Trenton, Mo., to take on a North Central team they beat 9182 at home on No. 10.

On Saturday the Spartans return home to take on William Penn JV at 3 p.m., after a SWCC Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony for former Spartan coach and athletic director Bill Krejci between the women’s and men’s games.

Area boys basketball Mt. Ayr 72, Lamoni 38 MOUNT AYR — A hot-shooting Mount Ayr team took a 42-14 halftime lead in racing past a rebuilding Lamoni team Monday night, 72-38.

Lamoni, graduating its top seven players from last year’s state tournament team, couldn’t keep the pace as Mount Ayr shot 9-of-11 from 3-point range. Riley Weehler shot 5-of-6 on threes in finishing with 15 points.

C a l e b Schnoor and Cam- Weehler

eron Young each made two treys in scoring 14 and six points, respectively.

Coach Bret Ruggles said the team had great post play as well from Rhett Murphy, Lincoln Martin, Kyle Dolecheck and Connor Giles, with Martin hauling in 11 rebounds. Murphy had seven rebounds and “twin towers” Jake Ricker and Jed McCreary each had three rebounds. Dolecheck had four rebounds and five points.

Martin also had a teamhigh six assists and Schnoor collected six steals for Mount Ayr (1-0), which plays at Creston tonight in a benefit game for Kirk Please see BOYS, page 8A

we are. And there will be other years where we’ll say ‘Gee, we wish we had one more game to play because we might be able to differentiate ourselves,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said.

The Big 12 hasn’t had a team compete in the national title game since Texas lost to Alabama following the 2009 season. TCU and Baylor each appear to have shots at ending that streak — partly because they don’t face the possibility of a rematch in a league title game.

The team ahead of the fifth-ranked Horned Frogs in last week’s playoff rankings, Mississippi State, lost at Ole Miss and finished the regular season with two losses.

The team behind TCU, Ohio State, beat Michigan.

The Buckeyes also lost star quarterback J.T. Barrett for the year with an ankle injury.

But TCU is almost in a no-win situation on Saturday by playing the struggling Cyclones instead of a fellow championship contender.

The Horned Frogs are expected to blow out Iowa State. But if they struggle like they did against Kansas a few weeks back, the committee might have a reason to re-examine its resume.

That’s why Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads is prepar-

ing to face a team looking for all the style points it can earn.

“They don’t want to leave any doubt in any member of the selection committee that they deserve to be in the top four,” Rhoads said. “We’ve seen all the tape. There’s no question they belong in the final four. But they’ll be going out to leave no doubts in anybody’s minds.”

Baylor will benefit from the Mississippi State loss and the uncertainty with the Buckeyes quarterback situation as well.

The Bears also beat TCU head to head — and a win over K-State would arguably be as impressive as anything Alabama, Oregon and Florida State could pull off this weekend.

“It is what it is. I’m proud to be in the Big 12 conference,” Baylor said Art Briles said of the league’s lack of a title game. “I think we’re doing it the right way.”

Bowlsby said the league’s round-robin schedule means that teams have to go through everyone in the league to win the championship — and he added that the NCAA doesn’t allow 10team leagues to play a title game anyway.

This year, that looks like a good thing for the league.

Branstad hails FOCUS: Christie’s veto of hog crate ban

Continued from Page 1

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad on Monday praised Gov. Chris Christie’s veto of a ban on crates for sows but says the New Jersey Republican’s action wasn’t influenced by the 2016 Iowa caucuses.

Branstad called Christie’s Friday Branstad veto of legislation outlawing gestation crates a “good decision” and argued the action allows farmers to protect young pigs from being crushed by heavy sows.

New Jersey has few hogs but Iowa raises more than 20 million hogs annually. Some argue Christie’s veto was influenced by Iowa’s early voting status. Christie is weighing a bid for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

But Branstad, who noted he had discussed the issue with Christie, said he doesn’t think presidential politics was a factor in the decision.

“I did share with Gov. Christie my personal experience and my interest in this and that of the Iowa Farm Bureau and the Iowa Pork Producers,” said Branstad, a Republican. “I give him credit for listening to and understanding that this is something we’re very concerned about.”

“And it does impact consumers as well,” he said. Accidental deaths of young pigs

can reduce the supply and raise pork prices, Branstad said.

Gestation crates became common in the 1980s as a way to standardize feeding of sows and keep the animals from fighting with other pigs. But in the past couple of years, more companies have begun phasing out the crates as consumers have responded to animal welfare advocates who argue it’s cruel to confine sows to the narrow stalls.

Wayne Pacelle, president and chief executive officer of the Humane Society of the United States, responded with a statement noting that gestation crates typically are used before piglets are born and that the bill vetoed by Christie didn’t restrict the use of other crates that could protect baby pigs.

The decisions and positions of would-be presidential candidates on issues related to Iowa often are viewed through a political lens.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty claimed to be taking a stand against farm subsidies in 2011 by calling for phasing out a tax credit for ethanol, even though Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley already had said the tax credit had served its purpose of launching the renewable fuel additive.

education policy. He served as education secretary under George H.W. Bush, as president of the University of Tennessee and as Tennessee governor.

He says that “excessive regulation of local schools by Washington is getting in the way of better schools.” He and House Education and Workforce Chairman John Kline, R-Minn., say the federal government needs to get out of the business of deciding what to do about low-performing schools, education standards and teacher evaluations.

But, Alexander has also acknowledged the political reality — even if Congress passes a bill, Obama would need to sign it to become law.

“We’ll work with Secretary Duncan and the president in hopes we can persuade them that what we want to do is

also what they want to do,” Alexander said, referring to Obama’s education secretary, Arne Duncan.

Recent history shows just how difficult that can be.

In 2013, a bill to update No Child Left Behind backed by Kline passed the full House with no Democratic support. The Senate Education Committee, led by Democrats, passed a bill the same year with no Republicans on board. It would have put more control in the hands of states but would have given the federal education secretary more leverage than Kline’s plan.

Alexander also put forward his own bill last year. Like Kline’s bill, it wouldn’t have rolled back the annual testing requirement under No Child Left Behind.

Both lawmakers have said they are open to making adjustments to their proposals, and Alexander has said

he believes there are questions to be asked about whether all the federally mandated annual tests are appropriate and whether states should decide how to assess their students.

Obama and Duncan have shown steadfast support for annual standardized testing as a way to chart student growth and track how historically underserved groups are faring.

A push by teachers’ unions to push back standardized tests and new Common Core standards and assessments rolling out in much of the country have stoked the debate, said Anne Hyslop, a senior policy analyst with Bellwether Education Partners.

“I think there is agreement that parents need information about their students, but where is that information coming from, and who’s requiring it, is where there’s a lot of debate,” Hyslop said.

with it,” said Weston Braun, of Danville, a member of the Laborers Inter-

national Union Local 538.

The $3.78 billion project would stretch from the Bakken formation in North Dakota, to Patoka, Illinois.

The 30-inch underground pipeline would transfer crude oil across several Iowa counties under roads, rivers, lakes and

streams.

Energy Transfer Partners wants to have the pipeline built and working by the end of 2016.
