‘Palette of Possibility’ touring in Creston

Iowa Senate Republicans back education funding bill DES MOINES (AP) — Senate Republicans in Iowa approved an education funding bill Thursday, calling it sound budgeting, but some school officials argue it will increase class sizes and lead to teacher layoffs.

The GOP-controlled chamber voted 28-21 for the legislation, which would go into effect for the budget year that starts in July. It has support in the Republican-led House, where a vote is scheduled Monday.

The bill would add about $40 million to Iowa’s roughly $3 billion kindergarten through 12th grade budget.

“Palette of Possibility,” a low-language, sensory-friendly play developed for those on the autism spectrum and with other developmental delays, is making a tour stop in Creston Friday, Feb. 17. A free, public showing of the play will be held 6 p.m. Feb. 17 in room 180 of the Instructional Center at Southwestern Community College.

“Palette of Possibility,” a low-language, sensory-friendly play developed for those on the autism spectrum and with other developmental delays, is going on a short tour in Iowa.

Creston has been chosen as one of just a few stops on the short tour, with the play being offered Friday, Feb. 17. The play, put together by UNI Theatre Professor Gretta Berghammer and several of her students, will be performed once during the day at Creston Community Elementary School, and then in a public performance 6 p.m. in the South-

western Community College Instructional Center, room 180.

Families can sign up to attend the free public show by calling The Learning Center of Southwest Iowa at 641-782-3849. Seating is limited, but no one will be turned away.

“We were contacted by University of Northern Iowa as a possible host site for a touring theatrical production they’re putting on,” said Kathy Ralston, director of operations of The Learning Center of Southwest Iowa. “They were given our name by the Autism Society of Iowa because we’ve been, over the past few years, doing a lot of work with them and building programs locally through that

work.”

‘Palette of Possibility’ Berghammer said her idea for the play began about 11 years ago while working at an after-school program.

“I had the opportunity to meet a young boy on the autism spectrum,” Berghammer said. “When I went to look for resources that could help me better support his talents using theatre and drama, I didn’t find anything that would help me. It begins with my quest to find ways to support him, and it develops into ‘What can I do for more young people?’”

“Palette of Possibility” is the third play Berghammer has developed for individuals with developmental

Two key Republican senators have vowed to oppose her nomination, throwing it into jeopardy. If Democrats all vote against DeVos, they need only one more dissenting Republican to kill the nomination.

Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, the Chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, praised DeVos’s work in reforming the school system through charter schools.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Betsy DeVos cleared a major hurdle in the Senate to become the next education secretary despite vigorous opposition from Democrats.

Senators voted 52-48 to cut off debate at dawn Friday, setting the stage for a final confirmation vote next week on President Donald Trump’s nominee.

DeVos, a billionaire Republican donor, has faced fierce criticism from labor unions for her promotion of school choice. Democrats and labor unions have accused her of seeking to dismantle public education and divert funds to charter schools and have criticized her support for taxpayer-funded private school

In June a joint statement from four state health and public safety agencies warned the public about U4 as a response to a nonfatal overdose in eastern Iowa. In November the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration categorized U4 among drugs with the highest potential for abuse or addiction, comparable to methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin.

AMES (AP) — The increasing presence of a deadly synthetic opioid called “pink” or “U4” has prompted warnings from Iowa authorities.

Ames police spokesman Geoff Huff told The Des Moines Register that the drug, also called “pinky,” has been identified in a handful of Ames cases since June. But he says there are other cases that police don’t know about.

delays.

Berghammer said the play is for everybody, but it uses theatre techniques she feels best support individuals with developmental delays.

“Palette of Possibility” explores color – red, blue and yellow.

“We use the metaphor of painting the play,” Berghammer said. “Red paints play, blue paints water and yellow paints light. Each of the colors, in a unique way, takes the audience on a journey or adventure, an exploration into movement and sounds and shapes.”

The play uses few words and does not tell a sequential story. It is a sensory-minded story that calls for audience participation

That means $73 would be added to what’s spent on each Iowa student, which is currently just less than $6,600.

Republicans say the amount is all the state can responsibly afford amid spending constraints. Lawmakers recently cut roughly $117 million in spending from the current budget, a scenario that emerged in part from the Legislature tapping into surplus dollars over several years. The practice has left the state with little spending flexibility despite continued revenue growth.

Pat was a former member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Creston, current member of Salem Lutheran Church in Creston, Ladies Literary Circle, Chapter AZ PEO Sisterhood (67 year member), Crestmoor Golf Club and Friends of the Library.

While living in Lorimor, he worked as an auto mechanic at K-Mart in Des Moines, and also was the manager at Union Gas. They later moved to Oklahoma where he was a heavy equipment operator and pipeline welder.

In 1985, Smitty returned to Lorimor and he worked for Bar Nunn as an over-the-road truck driver and most recently had worked for O’Reilly Automotive. He worked there for the past 13 years as a sales specialist and retired from there in 2013. Smitty also farmed off and on through his life.

open and receptive to services and experiences that foster that support in their community,” she said.

Those interested in attending are encouraged to call The Learning Center of Southwest Iowa ahead of time.

“I encourage any family who has any individual, child, grandchild or family friend who might benefit from this program, please call and reserve your seat,” Ralston said.

“If something happens and you can’t attend, that’s no big deal. We want to take advantage of this program and encourage this program to come again. I hope we are able to show great attendance.”

and interaction.

Six UNI theatre students act as performers in the play, with four others sitting in the audience and acting as “audience facilitators,” cuing children when there are moments for interaction.

In addition, there are two UNI students working on production. And, the young boy who first inspired Berghammer to create plays for individuals with developmental delays, now 25, is touring with the group as a technician.

“The production is ori-

sion that gives schools more breathing room on some spending.

To Tammy Wawro, president of the Iowa State Education Association, that’s not a convincing argument.

The proposal doesn’t account for increased operating costs at school districts, which will result in staffing cuts and have other ripple effects like delayed textbook purchases and fewer class offerings for students, Wawro said.

She described a school in Des Moines with a classroom that didn’t have enough seats to accommodate an influx of students.

She said some children had to sit on the floor.

“This is not the Iowa school system that the people before me put in place,

and the people before these folks here put in place,” she said. “I’m just extremely disappointed.”

The legislation would also remove a requirement that lawmakers set K-12 education funding roughly two years out. Lawmakers have rarely followed the law in recent years amid partisanship over money.

The GOP funding plan — roughly a 1.1 percent increase — is less than the 2 percent increase that Republican Gov. Terry Branstad proposed last month when making budget recommendations. His proposal is backed by Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, who will step in as governor if Branstad resigns to become the next U.S. ambassador to China.

Democrats attempted

to increase the funding to match the governor’s plan, but said even the amount proposed by Branstad is inadequate.

Sen. Herman Quirmbach, an Ames Democrat, said the GOP plan “is a disaster for this state’s education, for our children’s future.”

Sen. David Johnson, an independent from Ocheyedan, also criticized the bill. The former Republican said surrounding states have been investing more money into K-12 education and teacher salaries, which will drive talent away from Iowa. He said the state isn’t prioritizing education and that “the people of Iowa are watching.”

“They will respond at the next election. That’s my prediction,” he said.

Democrat on the committee, said she strongly opposes DeVos because of her tangled finances and potential conflicts of interest, her lack of DeVos experience in public schools and knowledge of basic education issues. Murray complained that her confirmation hearing was rushed and that DeVos didn’t answer all the questions from Democrats.

“Betsy DeVos is com-

mitted to privatizing public schools, and diverting public funds into private taxpayer-funded vouchers that would leave far too many students behind,” Murray said.

In addition to the statements of opposition by the two Republican senators, billionaire philanthropist and public education backer Eli Broad has also come out against her.

DeVos, 59, is the wife of Dick DeVos, heir to the Amway marketing fortune. She has spent more than two decades advocating for charter schools in her home state of Michigan and elsewhere around

the country. Her support of anti-LGBT and her advocacy for conservative religious values has also caused concerns that she will be a weak advocate for the LGBT community and other minorities.

GOP Sen. Amy Sinclair of Allerton said that “$40 million is a sustainable amount and it’s dedicated to our schools.” “ W e know we w o n ’ t have to back away from that should revenues go down Sinclair as they did this year,” she said.

public education,” Alexander said shortly after the vote. He added that DeVos will seek to diminish federal control over education and give more power to states and locales.

“We will be swapping a national school board for what she believes in, which is a local school board,” said Alexander, who served as education secretary under President George H.W. Bush.

Ralston was pleased to be selected as one of the stops on the short tour for the play.

It is part of The Learning Center of Southwest Iowa’s mission to bring programs like this to the community.

“Recreation, theatre and

music, it’s important for every individual,” Ralston said. “Individuals with disabilities are sometimes limited in what they can access. We’re thrilled the program thought of us, and it speaks to the work that is going on here, too.”

Berghammer said Creston seemed like a natural fit for this type of play.

“Creston has a statewide reputation of having strong support for its community members with special needs and their families, and Berghammer for being

ented to a younger audience, more early elementary aged, for any child with any kind of disability and their families,” Ralston said. “That’s one thing they really wanted to stress was to invite the entire family. This will also be a fantastic opportunity for any educators who are interested in adapting programs.”

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: When we think of the need for EDUCATION ABOUT POISONS, we often think of children and the necessity of knowing what to do in the event of an emergency. But according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, it can be adults who are at a higher risk of serious poisoning injuries and even death because of poisoning.

So consider going to the organization’s website at www. aapcc.org to further your education and understanding in this area. The site is full of information, study guides, videos and even handouts to help you become more informed about poison control and what to do in an emergency. – Heloise LIGHTWEIGHT TRAVELING BLANKETS Dear Heloise: My husband and I have three small children, and whenever we travel during the summer months, we run our air conditioner often. As a result, my children will become cold at different times during the trip and require something to cover themselves with.

I needed coverings that were lightweight and didn’t take up a lot of room in the back seat. I purchased a couple of king-size flannel sheets and cut them in half. In doing so, I created ap-

proximately four twin-size covers for the kids and me.

They are perfect as temporary covers, very lightweight and can be stored in the smallest space available in an already full back seat. – A Reader in Las Vegas TRAVELING SUPPLIES Dear Heloise: I’m working at a place that offers temporary employment. To keep my preferred supplies, which I bring with me, separate from the given supplies, I pack all of mine in a purchased bag that I got from my local grocery store. I keep this close to my desk and pull what I need, when I need it. I replace it when it’s not being used.

When I’m ready to leave, I just take my bag and go. Since it’s a temporary position and I don’t know how long I’ll be employed, it’s easy for me to keep track of my supplies and keep mine separate from their supplies. – Yolanda H. in Houston SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise. com

BRAN VERSUS CORN Dear Heloise: With the new year going strong, making positive/healthy changes seemed inevitable. One healthy change I’ve made when cooking is substituting bran flakes when a recipe calls for “crushed cornflakes.”

Not only am I adding fiber to the casserole or dishes, but it adds its own special flavor, which I like, to the recipe that cornflakes just don’t do. When we take dishes over to family and friends, people comment on how flavorful it is.

Try it sometime. I think you’ll see what I mean. Thanks for all your wonderful household hints in the San Antonio Express-News. – Barbara R., via email COLORFUL CALENDARS Dear Heloise: We have a large desk calendar where family members post any of their upcoming activities. We each have a different-color marker inside a pencil holder near the calendar.

It’s been a colorful lifesaver, as we’ve not missed too many important events since doing this. – Karen D. in North Carolina (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Nodaway Valley student remembered for giving back

this winter.Â

GREENFIELD – Zoey Van Eaton should be graduating this spring from Nodaway Valley High School, but in July 2016, she was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident. Though her life was short, Van Eaton made an impact by giving back; she donated blood every chance she had. Now, her friends are giving the Nodaway Valley community the opportunity to honor Van Eaton by holding a blood drive in her name. Everyone is invited to ensure blood products are available for patients in need by donating in Van Eaton’s memory from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, at Nodaway Valley High School, 410 NW Second St., in Greenfield.

Blood donations are urgently needed now and throughout the winter to maintain a sufficient blood supply for patients in need.

All those who come to donate from Jan. 30 to Feb. 26 are eligible to receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card via email for making blood and platelet donation a priority

Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Blood donors can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/rapidpass and follow the instructions on the site.

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

4 life changes that affect your taxes and how to tackle them (BPT) - Life changes often mean tax changes. Whether it’s getting married, buying or selling a home, moving abroad or having a baby, misunderstanding the tax and financial implications of these life changes can lead to taxpayers making mistakes or leaving money on the table.

Depending on your situation, there are new tax implications that will impact your benefits, tax bill and how you file. If you experienced a life change in 2016, here is a list of tax implications and how they will affect you.

Marriage Many couples close the book on their “wedding todos” once the last thank you card has been sent, but looking at your new tax situation is an important first step in your married life. There are some instances when getting married can have negative implications for a couple’s tax situation. Once you’re married you must file either as married filing jointly or married filing separately. In some cases, a couple where one spouse earns most of the household income will benefit because their overall tax bracket may decrease.

However, a couple with two high earners may find they face a higher tax rate than if each paid tax only on their own income and added the taxes paid.

However, there are some ways to protect against potential negative tax implica-

tions. After your marriage is official, update your W-4 with your employer to account for your new marital status. If you’re self-employed or a small business owner, make sure to adjust your quarterly estimated tax payments.

Buying a house Purchasing a home may open the door to more deductions through itemizing if you weren’t already doing so. Once you become a homeowner, you can deduct many of your home-related costs, including your qualified home mortgage interest, points paid on a loan secured by your home, real estate taxes and private mortgage insurance premiums paid on or before Dec. 31, 2016. If you choose not to itemize, you may benefit from other tax advantages such as penalty-free IRA withdrawals if you are a first-time homebuyer under the age of 59 and a half, or residential energy credits for purchases of certain energy efficient property.

New homebuyers should be on the lookout for Form 1098 Mortgage Interest Statement, which is used to report mortgage interest. This form can help you identify these deductions when completing your Form 1040.

Moving abroad Are you excited to move abroad, but have no idea what will happen to your taxes and how to file? Many

Americans living and working overseas will not owe tax to the IRS because of the foreign earned income exclusion and foreign tax credit. However, even if you qualify for those benefits, you have to file a U.S. tax return each year if you received income over the normal filing threshold.

It is also important to understand your Social Security coverage before moving abroad. Knowing whether your earnings overseas will be subjected to Social Security taxes in the U.S. or the country you are residing in

will be an important factor when analyzing the economics of your move.

Having a baby A new baby means you may be able to take advantage of tax breaks, including the Child Tax Credit (CTC). The CTC is worth up to $1,000 for each qualifying child younger than 17, a portion of which may be refundable as the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) depending on your income.

A tax preparer can help you understand the qualifications to determine whether a child is considered qual-

ified for purposes of the CTC. Some of those qualifications include but are not limited to their relationship and residency.

You may also qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) which is a benefit for working people with low to moderate income that reduces the amount of taxes you owe.

However, it’s important to note that due to the new “Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes ACT” or PATH Act, this year the IRS is required to hold any

The Bank That Service Built

Understanding health savings accounts

What is an HSA? HSAs are like any other savings account, except they can be used for medical, vision and dental expenses.

HSAs are tax-advantaged, meaning that income can be deposited into an HSA before it is taxed. HSAs can only be opened and used in conjunction with a high-deductible health insurance plan, or those with a deductible of at least $1,300 for an individual or $2,600 for a family.

HSA details and eligibility requirements Although HSAs have contribution limits, they’re advantageous in that the savings accumulated can be used to pay for noncovered, qualified medical expenses, such as copays, vision and dental care and even deductibles.

HSAs may be established through an employer-spon-

sored insurance plan or through a bank or other financial institution. To qualify, a person must be under the age of 65 and have a high-deducible health insurance plan.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of HSAs? There are advantages and disadvantages to HSAs. HSA account holders can control how their saved money is spent, and there’s no risk of losing the money at the end of the year because it rolls over.

Taxes are not paid on money going into the HSA. In addition, employers can contribute to HSAs, and account holders do not lose their balances when they change jobs.

Disadvantages include the challenge of setting aside money to put into the HSA,

especially if finances are tight.

One who has certain medical situations that are urgent may find that budgeting for an HSA is impractical.

A retirement saving vehicle In addition to the other benefits mentioned, HSAs can be used as a way to invest in retirement. The resource NerdWallet, which offers financial tools and objective

advice to help people understand their options and make the best possible decisions, says an HSA is a good retirement savings option, especially for high-income earners who can’t make deductible contributions to a traditional IRA or any contributions to a Roth IRA. HSAs can help offset healthcare costs and even help with long-term financial planning.

Eighth-grade boys A team completes perfect season STAFF REPORT

The Creston boys eighth grade basketball teams finished their successful season with a few more wins against Winterset Tuesday.

The eighth-grade A team finished with an unblemished 12-0 record, while the B and C teams went 9-4.

The A-team held the Huskies scoreless in the fourth quarter to stretch a 35-26 lead to a 41-26 final.

Cael Kralik scored 19 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Brance Baker hit two 3-pointers, scored 12 points and dished out three assists.

The Panthers shot 16-of-35 (46 percent) from the floor and went 6-for-6 from the free throw line.

Clayton Stafford, Cole Strider and Kralik all had two assists. Baker

and Evan Bruce both had three assists each.

Strider added five points and Stafford added four. Bruce added one point.

“We got off to a sluggish start and struggled offensively and had way too many turnovers,” coach Larry McNutt said. “But we did a great job defensively in the second and fourth quarters holding them to two points in the second and zero points in the fourth quarter to get the win. Not our best game but we hung in there and grinded it out for a team win.”

The B-team tied 23-23 with Kaden Briggs’ 10 points leading the way.

The Panthers outscored the Huskies 7-3 in the fourth to end the season.

Brodie Wallace’s four assists led

the Panthers.

Scoring for Creston were Keagan Smith with four points, Daniel Merritt with three. Britain Miller, James Kunz and Brayden Fitzgerald all scored two points each.

“We had trouble putting the ball in the basket but kept battling and gave ourselves extra chances with defensive and offensive rebounding to come from behind.

C team The C team boys won to end the season when Brayden Fitzgerald’s pass found Britain Miller for the game-winning bucket for an 11-10 win.

Miller scored four points, Fitzgerald added three while Jeremy Rutz and Brandon Berry added two

points each.

“I was really happy for these boys.

They improved all season,” McNutt said.

Seventh-grade girls fall to Shenandoah Shenandoah defeated the Creston seventh-grade girls Thursday, 39-17.

“We were right there against a pretty good team, down 6-4 late in the first quarter,” Creston coach Larry Peterson said. “They had a girl hit a three, and really got some momentum in the second quarter to open up a 10-point lead. We slowed down the outside shooting after halftime, but we just didn’t hit enough shots against their 1-3-1 JR. HIGH | 10A

While team goals are nice, this time of the year for wrestlers, it’s all about themselves and what it takes to win each match.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg coach Darrell Frain wants his wrestlers to think big and chase their dreams as the postseason starts Saturday.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg begins the tournament trail with Class 2A Section 6 action. Wrestling starts at noon in Shenandoah.

The top two in each weight class move on to the Class 2A District 3 tournament on Feb. 11 in Harlan.

“We don’t have anything team wise until the regional (duals),” Frain said. “We need to be selfish. It’s all about you and what you do.

Don’t worry about anybody else.”

Frain and the staff have focused on what each wrestler needs to do to move on.

“We’re going to work on drills that you’re going to use in your match and that’s it,” Frain said.

Bearcats football coach Wright adjusting to new role Signing new class finishes busy stretch for NWMS coaches n

MARYVILLE, Mo. — It has been a bit of a busy stretch at times for new Northwest Missouri State head football coach Rich Wright and his staff.

The Bearcats recently completed their second straight perfect 15-0 season, capped by claiming the NCAA Division II national championship on Dec. 17 at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kan. The next day former coach Adam Dorrell resigned to take the head coach’s job at Abilene Christian University in Texas. On Dec. 19, Wright was announced as the new head coach in Maryville.

Since then, the staff has been busy working to assemble the next crop of Bearcat players.

all comes together,� Frain said.

The Panthers are trending in the right direction, Frain believes. “We’re going to have to make some big jumps anyway,� Frain said. ‘Hopefully we’ll get going in the right direction, knock some people off that we shouldn’t and take care of the one’s we already have and we’ll be really excited.�

The way the Panthers wrestle is an advantage to them and a disadvantage to other teams. “The best part is they know how we want to push the matches,� Frain said. “Sometimes that gets in people’s heads. Hopefully we’ll take advantage of it.�

The Panthers left the Hawkeye 10 Conference meet in good shape, minus at 138 and 145 — where Jake Marlin missed weight at 138 and Mitchel Swank injured his knee at 145. Frain believes those will not be an issues this week.

zone to make a run at them.�

Brianna Fields led Creston with 11 points, four rebounds and three steals. Halle Evans had four points and a teamhigh six rebounds. Hannah Dryden scored two points and Gracie Hagle collected four rebounds. Shenandoah had only a 4-3 edge in the second half of the second game, but a big 17-0 first half carried the Fillies to a 21-3 victory in the B game.

Hannah Dryden scored three points for Creston.

Taylor Seaton led the defense with four steals and four rebounds. Lexi Gutknecht grabbed three rebounds and Jalyn Klejch came up with three steals.

Dryden, Macy Adamson and Makayla McIntosh each had two steals. Creston finishes the season with games at Red Oak Monday and Clarinda on Tuesday.Â

Eighth-grade girls hoops Both the A and B teams won their games Thursday against Shenandoah.

The A team was led by three double-digit scorers as it won 46-29 over the Fillies.

Sam Dunphy’s 15 points led the way. She also grabbed seven rebounds and dished out four assists.

Kelsey Fields recorded

“We’re pretty close,�

Frain said. “If we get 38 and 45 taken care of, we’ll be in good shape.�

The Class 2A third-ranked Panthers come into the sectional meet as the prohibitive favorite to win the sectional and advance to the regional duals on Tuesday. “There will be some tough weight classes to get through,� Frain said. Bedford/Lenox also at Shenandoah Bedford/Lenox is one of the teams at Shenandoah.

Bedford/Lenox senior Jared Hensley comes in ranked third in Class 2A at 120 pounds with only one loss on the season.

Hensley is ready to take the first step needed toward claiming a state title. “We expect Jared to be on top of the podium this year,� said Bedford/Lenox coach Derek Weller. Should he advance Saturday, Hensley is in a difficult weight class at the district meet. Second-ranked Carter Cox from Atlantic and sixthranked Zach Thompson from Perry are the favorites to advance out of the ADM

section at 120.

Cox handed Hensley his only loss of the season, a 7-3 decision at the final of the John J. Harris Invitational on Jan. 21 in Corning.

Hensley has been busy working to correct the mistakes he made in the loss to Cox. “He’s hungry,� Weller said. “After the John Harris, he’s been working on some stuff. It’s going to be tough.�

Weller believes his talented senior is ready for the task at hand. “We have all the faith in the world in Jared,� Weller said. “He’s proven time and again he can pull through.

I’m confident he can do it.�

Bedford/Lenox knows it will be a tough sectional with Creston/Orient-Macksburg leading the way. “Creston’s loaded across the board,� Weller said. “(Chase) Shiltz is really tough. They’ve got (Kadon) Hulett and (Jackson) Mikkelsen. They’re tough.

(Jacob) Goodson’s good.

They’re a tough team across the board. “Red Oak has several tough kids, so does Shenan-

doah.�

Bedford/Lenox expects to be in the mix as well. “It’s going to be pretty tough,� Weller said. “It depends on if the kids show up. We’ve got to get them to show up and just wrestle. Hopefully they do what they’re supposed to do, get the rust off a few things and move forward.�

a double-double with 13 points, and 12 rebounds. She also had four assists.

Braelyn Baker put up a stat line of 11 points, two rebounds and three assists.  The Panthers ended the first quarter up three, and extended that to a 23-13 halftime lead. Creston never looked back and won comfortably by 17. “We started off a bit rocky by turning over the ball but hang in and pulled up by 10 points going into halftime,�

Creston coach Mendy McCreight said. “ In the third quarter we came out and played better as we were able to change up our offense and get some nice inside shots.

We had a lot of good cuts and drives to the basket. We had a strong fourth quarter finish.�

Rachel Boyer added on four points, six rebounds, four steals and four assists.

Peyton Rice had two points and two steals, while Kate Adair also scored a point in the A game.

The B team played a 15-minute running clock game and won 14-6. Â Morgan Buxton had six points, six rebounds and three steals.

Katie Adair scored four points. Payton Luther put in two points and five rebounds. Rylie Driskell added two points. “We did a good job of moving the ball on offense and getting good looks,� McCreight said.

36 are three Creston/Orient-Macksburg players: Kadon Hulett, Chase Shiltz and Cody Tanner. “It sure has been quite the whirlwind,� Wright said. “It’s been quite a bit of fun.�

Having this class signed, sealed and delivered takes a burden of the coaching staff. “It’s a relief,� Wright said.

A big key in recruiting a successful class came in the minimal amount of turnover in the transition from Dorrell to Wright. All full-time coaches were kept at Northwest Missouri State. “Probably the biggest thing in the recruiting pro-

In Class 1A, East Union and Mount Ayr are at Interstate 35 in the Section 10 tournament in Truro. The top two in each weight class there move on to the District 5 meet on Feb. 11 in Pleasantville.

East Union comes in familiar with most of the teams there, with the exception of Colfax-Mingo. “We’re just going to have to show up and wrestle good,� said East Union coach Justin Staver. The Eagles have had close matches with a number of the teams there such as Interstate 35 and Southeast Warren, with each side topping the other at various points this season. “Some of them I think

come Saturday we’ll come out on top in,� Staver said. “Those guys have won one, lost one. Hopefully we’ll come out on top.�

Staver has liked the approach the team has had in practice the past few days. “Everybody’s been working hard this week,� Staver said. “We have a good mindset. Our weight is under control. Our conditioning is good. We’ve got a good shot to get most through.�

East Union will send 10 wrestlers on to the mat. “Hopefully we can get six or seven going on,� Staver said. If East Union has the success Staver believes they can, the program could finish in the top two and be in a spot it has not been in more than two decades.

Interstate 35, Martensdale-St. Marys and Southeast Warren are among the teams that stand in East Union’s way of reaching the regional duals.

The last time East Union advanced to the regional duals was 1992. “If we can get six or seven in the top two and the oth-

er three or four to come in third, we’ll have a real shot to be in the top two,� Staver said. “That would be exciting.�

The hard work in practice is completed. Now it’s up to each individual to showcase their skills. “We’ve done what we can do,� Staver said. “It’s up to the boys to mentally prepare themselves, go out and take care of business.�

Mount Ayr is working to heal itself from various injuries and illnesses that have taken a toll on its already shorthanded lineup this season.

Raiders coach John Ford looks for his team to be ready to go. “Hopefully we’ll be back as best we can,� Ford said. “That’s our goal to put eight solid bodies on the mat.�

Southwest Valley and Nodaway Valley are at the Section 13 meet at Guthrie Center hosted by Adair-Casey/Guthrie Center. The top two in each weight class there advance to the District 7 tournament on Feb. 11

cess was the lack of transition,� Wright said. “I slid in and that’s it.�

That started the day Wright was hired. “I came in on Monday, we got organized and away we go,� Wright said.

The same coaches continued to recruit the areas they always have, such as receivers coach and recruiting coordinator, and Harlan native, Joel Osborn continuing to recruit southwest Iowa. “The consistency was the same,� Wright said. “The same guys had the same area. Having the staff back — you can’t underestimate its importance in what we’re able to do as a football program in this process.�

Northwest Missouri State’s run to its sixth na-

tional championship in school history shortened the recruiting window, as the coaching staff was busy with game preparation throughout December instead of focusing on recruiting.

That’s not a new drill in Maryville as the program has consistently been making deep playoff runs. “Whenever we’re playing in the national championship, we have a pretty small window in recruiting,�

Wright said. “Fortunately for us, that’s not a new thing.

We plug and play what we’re supposed to do.�

With recruiting completed, there’s a little bit of down time for the staff. Wright noted the coaches will be out on the clinic circuit the next few weeks. Wright is in the

process of hiring a new offensive line coach and hopes to make that hire relatively soon.

Then the Bearcats turn their sights towards starting another title run. Spring practice starts on March 1.

Among some of the workouts will be early morning workouts in the cold. Wright noted it helps the team prepare for what the conditions are like in December during the playoffs. “We like to have winter wonderland workouts,�

Wright said. “We try to make things fun as a reward.

We want to acclimate them as much as we can.�

5-star DE Epenesa highlights Iowa’s latest class Moore, Lima highlight Cyclones latest class

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa landed one of the top recruits in school history on Wednesday in defensive lineman A.J. Epenesa.

Epenesa, the rare five-star recruit to commit to Iowa, is a 6-foot-5, 270-pound defensive end from Edwardsville, Illinois. He is expected to make an immediate impact for the Hawkeyes. Epenesa was considered one of the top defensive players in America, and a standout performance at the U.S. Army All-American Game only heightened expectations.

Iowa was already loaded with defensive linemen. The Hawkeyes need receivers, and although they signed three on Wednesday none is expected to be ready to start

by August.

Other things to know: Best in class: Epenesa.

Southwestern Community College women’s basketball sophomore guard Julanie Carter tosses up a floating jump shot during the second half of Wednesday’s game against Iowa Central in Creston.

Saturday, the Spartans host North Iowa Area Community College with tip off set for 1 p.m.

hosted by Underwood.

The Timberwolves are coming off their second tournament win of the season last Saturday at East Mills.

Timberwolves coach Jason Wetzel likes how his squad stacks up.

“We will be able to compete with our opponents at sectionals,” Wetzel said.

“Most of the competition we have seen early in the year.”

Each wrestler will have to go out and take care of business no matter where he is seeded, Weitzel said.

“Some coaches would argue that seeding is most important,” Wetzel said. “I agree to a point, but the boys need to beat the best to win the bracket whether that is in

Wirfs was also a state qualifier in wrestling and a state champion in the discus, traits that seem to make him a classic fit for a Ferentz-coached line.

Late addition: Nate Wieland, LB, Iowa City.

Wieland was a star quarterback who’ll shift to linebacker. He wasn’t heavily recruited, but the Hawkeyes have been known to turn overlooked local kids into All-Big Ten types.

One that got away: WR Oliver Martin. A four-star recruit from Iowa City, Mar-

DL, El Camino Community College (California). Lima is 6-foot-3 and 310 pounds and is expected to start next season after emerging as one of the best defensive tackles in junior college. Lima had a long list of Power Five suitors, and the Cyclones have a glaring need for impact defensive linemen. Fellow junior college lineman Matt Leo should also help in 2017.

Best of the rest: Devon Moore, QB, Waterloo West. Players like linebacker O’Rien Vance and wide receiver Josh Johnson might have gotten more buzz, but Moore is one player that Iowa State needs to see fulfill his potential. Moore threw 29 TD passes as a senior and committed to Iowa

In the men’s game, NJCAA Division II top-ranked Southwestern also plays host to NIAAC, with its contest slated to tip at 3 p.m.

the semifinals or the finals.

They still have to wrestle and win the matches.”

The Timberwolves had a disappointing finish at sectionals last year with none advancing. They’ll look to change that this year.

“We’ll need a good week of practice, not just preparing physically but also mental preparation for every match we wrestle,” Wetzel said.

Wetzel touted Panorma and AHSTW as teams to watch for at the sectional, along with Adair-Casey/ Guthrie Center.

The Timberwolves will look to have a say in that as well.

“I would like to think we could compete with those teams,” Wetzel said. “Time will tell.”

tin seemed like he might be destined for Iowa. But with offers from scores of big-time programs, Martin passed on the Hawkeyes — who currently don’t have a wide receivers coach — for Michigan.

How they’ll fit in: Epenesa and incumbent edge rushers Anthony Nelson and Matt Nelson could give Iowa a chance to be elite at rushing the passer in 2017, which will be crucial since the Hawkeyes will have a pair of new cornerbacks.

The Hawkeyes will also have to hope at least one of their new wideouts can make an immediate impact.

State on Campbell’s first day as coach.

Late addition: Keontae Jones, DB, Colerain (Ohio).

Yet another talented prospect Campbell snagged from his home state. His brother, Deshaunte, played extensively as a wide receiver in 2016 and looks like a future star.

One that got away: Kam White, DB, Clinton, Mississippi. A four-star recruit, White gave a verbal commitment to Iowa State before more prestigious programs got involved.

How they’ll fit in: In a lot of ways, Campbell is building his program like Kirk Ferentz built his at rival Iowa. Iowa State’s latest class is heavy on versatile, three-star kids from the Midwest who came from winning prep programs.

Union: Guard killed at prison warned colleagues of ‘trap’

Contributed photo

Upcycling: Upcycling or recycling, what’s the difference? That was the question for the East

Union ASPIRE science club in Afton. Predictions were made, tests were completed, and conclusions were drawn about different types of packing material and their ability to be eco-friendly.

Lacey Kaster and Tiphani Fettkether are shown upcycling packing peanuts into structures and pictures.

Stress workshop for children coming Stress is a buzz word heard all the time, and as adults, people can be flooded with social media messages about the impacts of stress and ways to manage stress.

“The ways children experience and manage stress, however, is very different than adults,” said Kim Brantner, human sciences specialist in family life for Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach.

To help those working with young children understand childhood stress and learn strategies for helping reduce stress for children in their care, the Union County ISU Extension and Outreach, in collaboration with Child and Adult Care

Food Program, Southwestern Community College and Quad Counties Early Childhood Iowa, will be offering a 2-hour class titled “Big Worries in a Little World.”

“Anyone caring for young children is welcome and encouraged to attend,” Brantner said. “We’re excited to be able to collaborate to offer this opportunity to family child care professionals, as well as center and preschool staff.”

“Big Worries in a Little World” will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9, at the SWCC multipurpose room in Creston.

The workshop is approved for two hours of Iowa DHS professional-development

credit and can be accessed through the Iowa DHS training registry.

“Reducing stress for all children, through attention to how the physical environment is set up, activities provided and the ways adults interact with the children are all marks of high-quality child care,” said Brantner. “‘Big Worries in a Little World’ will give child care professionals an opportunity to explore ways to incorporate a variety of strategies in their own programs in ways meaningful for the children and families they serve.”

For more information contact the Union County ISU Extension and Outreach office at 641-782-8426.

SMYRNA, Del. (AP) — Forced into a closet by inmates at Delaware’s largest prison, Sgt. Steven Floyd called out to officers coming to his aid, warning them that inmates had set a trap — saving their lives with his final actions, the head of the state corrections officers’ union said.

“Even in his last moments as the inmates attempted to take over the building, Sgt. Floyd told a couple of lieutenants to get out of the building and that it was a trap,” union President Geoffrey Klopp said.

Floyd was found dead early Thursday after authorities used a backhoe to smash through a barricade of footlockers and end a nearly 20hour hostage standoff at the prison. A second hostage, a female counselor, was safely rescued minutes after tactical teams forced their way into a building at the allmale, 2,500-prisoner James T. Vaughn Correctional Center.

Delaware Gov. John Carney called the uprising a “torturous” ordeal.

In a statement, he said authorities will hold accountable those responsible and “make whatever changes are necessary to ensure nothing like it ever happens again.”

Authorities did not immediately explain how Floyd died. They have said the inmates used “sharp instruments” to seize Building C and hold the 47-year-old hostage along with two other prison guards and a counselor.

Klopp said inmates staged a fight to lure Floyd, who radioed for help. They then turned on him, forcing

him into the closet.

The inmates eventually released two hostages and got authorities to turn the water back on, saying they needed it for drinking and washing.

Instead, they filled up metal footlockers and built barricades.

Klopp said the footlockers were used to hold inmates’ belongings.

“Footlockers are a necessary evil in prison,” he said. “You’ve got to have some place to store and transport their personal belongings.”

During negotiations conducted via an officer’s walkie-talkie — which were broadcast online for more than an hour before officials blocked the transmission — the mediator tried to coax an unidentified inmate into

letting him talk to Floyd to make sure he was OK. The inmate responded that the negotiator would only be able to talk to Floyd once the inmates got to talk to the governor. He told the negotiator that the prisoners wanted a “formal apology” from Carney for “decades of oppression.”

Floyd, a 16-year veteran with the prison, is the first Delaware corrections officer to be killed, according to Klopp.

The union president described Floyd as a wonderful husband and correctional officer who went the “extra mile for any human being he could help.” Last year, he received the warden’s award for outstanding performance.
