It’s time for the annual fundraiser for St. Malachy School.

The annual St. Malachy gala and fundraiser is scheduled for Saturday at Supertel Inn and Conference Center, with a cocktail hour at 5 p.m., prime rib dinner at 6 p.m. and auction at 7 p.m.

The event, put on by the St. Malachy Foundation, is open to the public and tickets are available for $35 at St. Malachy School or the night of the event.

“The event is to raise money. All proceeds are donated directly to St. Malachy Schools,” said Leslie Wurster, organizer.

The funds are used for

ers, or school supplies, like books, for the students to use throughout the year.

The prime rib dinner is catered by The Windrow, and music during the cocktail hour and dinner will be provided by Dustin Baird.

After the dinner hour, West and Frey Auction Services, which has donated the services to the event, will begin the auction portion.

“New this year is going to be four University of Iowa football tickets and a parking pass,” Wurster said. “We have miscellaneous things, too, from a Google Chromebook to Little Big Town tickets at the Iowa State Fair.”

Other items include a Fitbit Blaze exercise de-

from Wilbur Ellis and Advanced Ag and tickets to a state bull-riding event.

There will also be a silent auction and raffles to coincide with the live auction.

St. Malachy School will also continue with the Spirit of St. Malachy Award. In 2016, the award was given to the volunteers at the Rectory Rerun.

“The award is given to a person in the community who has continuously been involved in the growth of St. Malachy School,” Wurster said.

Wurster said the event brings in between 200 and 240 people each year. For more information, there is a Facebook event titled St. Malachy Gala and Auc-

“I’m excited for the event this year. We have a lot of new items this year to kind of mix things up,” Wurster said. “It’s just a whole lot of fun and it’s a great chance to meet families and everyone with the school. It’s just a fun time.”

At least 2 dead after tornadoes touch down in central US LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Tornadoes touched down in the upper Midwest and northern Arkansas on Tuesday, killing at least two people, as a spring-like storm system posed a risk to 45 million people.

Compact but strong storms known as supercells raked parts of the central U.S., causing damage from Arkansas to Iowa and Illinois. Wind-whipped wildfires destroyed homes in Texas.

At Ottawa, Illinois, state Emergency Management Agency spokeswoman Patti Thompson said a tornado victim was killed by an uprooted tree. Minor injuries

were also reported at an Ottawa nursing home, but Thompson said the number of those hurt in the twisters was not known.

Meanwhile, one person was killed when an apparent tornado ripped through Perry County, Missouri, about 80 miles south of St. Louis.

Eight to 10 homes near the small town of Perryville were badly damaged and winds were so strong that several vehicles were blown off of Interstate 55. Perry County Clerk Jared Kutz said search and rescue crews were going door-to-door and checking the highway to STORMS | 2A

He sold O’s Gold seed corn and square bales as a side income.

Dean’s life revolved around his farm life, family and church. He served on the ACSC and Co-op board, as well as many years on the Stringtown Church board.

They were lifetime members of the Stringtown Community Church. In September 2014, they were recognized and honored for their dedication, service and leadership to God and the church family.

Dean’s family was his pride and joy. He loved to take his sons and grandsons hunting and fishing.

Being a grandpa was top priority. He spent countless hours telling stories and teaching life lessons.

He kept busy with his hands building birdhouses and doing carpenter work around the farm. The legacy Dean leaves is the commitment, devotion, care and love that he shared with Leona for 72 years, as well as to his country, his family and his faith.

see if there were other victims.

Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens said in a statement that a tornado was confirmed in Perry County. Authorities have not released any information about the person killed.

Forecasters were particularly concerned that the worst of the weather developed after nightfall — and worried it would continue overnight and hit communities while people slept.

While weather conditions typically improve after nightfall, as the atmosphere cools, the Storm Prediction Center posted tornado watches late Tuesday for the area from eastern Kansas and Oklahoma to near Cincinnati. It warned that

significant tornadoes with winds above 111 mph were possible until 4 a.m. Central time.

“Some increase in storm coverage is likely through the overnight hours,” one of its advisories said.

The Oklahoma-based forecast center said 45 million people from Texas to Ohio faced some risk of bad weather. The highest threat level in effect, warning of a “moderate risk” for severe weather, covered the area from southwestern Missouri into Indiana.

Hundreds of people, including many school children, took shelter at Bald Knob High School in Arkansas after a tornado warning was posted for the area.

The school is hosting a state basketball tournament for smaller schools this week.

Moments earlier, the storm caused damage in Higginson, a town of 621, the White

County Sheriff’s Office said.

Photos posted on social media showed basketball fans on the floor in the school’s designated safe area.

The Bald Knob storm was part of the same system that produced a wall cloud near Mayflower, Arkansas, which was hit in 2014 by a tornado with winds approaching 200 mph. The storm crossed Interstate 40 between Little Rock and Conway, but there were no reports that a funnel cloud touched down.

The Storm Prediction Center had warned that some of Tuesday’s storms would track over long distances. The Arkansas storm held together for more than 100 miles, though it did not produce tornadoes.

The Missouri Department of Transportation closed Interstate 55 in both directions because of storm damage in Perryville.

Drivers stopped along U.S. 60 east of Springfield, Missouri, according to the Wright County Sheriff’s Office. The storm system pelted some areas with large hailstones, including some the size of baseballs in central Illinois.

Forecaster Ariel Cohen, who raised Tuesday’s threat level in a midday update, said sunshine warmed the region and roiled the atmosphere ahead of an approaching cold front. The threat is expected to shift to the Southeastern U.S. on Wednesday.

Strong winds elsewhere in the Plains spread wildfires in Texas. Four homes were destroyed near Tulia, about 50 miles south of Amarillo, before firefighters beat back the flames. Texas A&M Forest Service spokesman Phillip Truitt said the fire prompted the evacuation of almost 1,200 homes.

Trump gives GOP leaders rallying cry, roadmap for change WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump gave Republican congressional leaders a rallying cry and even a roadmap as they try to push through a sweeping and divisive agenda on health care, taxes and more.

In his first address to a joint session of Congress, Trump said largely what G O P l e a d ers were hoping to hear Tuesday night, staying o n - m e s - Trump sage and talking in optimistic tones, even weighing in at one point to settle a brewing dispute over how to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday morning that Trump showed Congress and the nation his “broad shoulders, big heart, reaching out, focusing on the future.”

Pence spoke on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” House Speaker Paul Ryan declared the speech a “home run,” pointing to Trump’s embrace for the first time of tax credits — a central element in the Republican plan to replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Those tax credits have sparked a fierce conservative backlash in recent days, imperiling GOP efforts to make good on the party’s long-stated promise to get rid of “Obamacare” and put something better in its place. Ahead of the speech congressional Republicans had been unsure how far Trump would go in backing their plan, with some pleading openly with him to do so, and many were elated at what they heard.

“We should help Americans purchase their own coverage, through the use of tax credits and expanded health savings accounts — but it must be the plan they want, not the plan forced on them by the government,” Trump said, as Republicans cheered and Democrats sat silently in their seats.

It remains to be seen whether Trump’s endorsement of refundable tax credits will be enough

to tame rebellious conservatives in the House and Senate who have criticized them as a costly new entitlement. The initial response from one key conservative group, the Freedom Caucus in the House, was full of praise for Trump’s speech without mentioning the divisions over tax credits.

“We were pleased the president reaffirmed his commitment to fully repeal Obamacare and replace it with patient-centered, market-driven policy. We share his vision,” the group said.

Trump also addressed taxes, another major issue that is dividing Congress.

After weeks of sending mixed signals, he provided hope to House Republican leaders pushing a tax overhaul that would tax imports but not exports. But he stopped short of explicitly endorsing the proposal.

“Currently, when we ship products out of America, many other countries make us pay very high tariffs and taxes — but when foreign companies ship their products into America, we charge them almost nothing or almost nothing,” Trump said.

Without providing specifics, Trump said he will propose to change that.

Rewriting health care and overhauling the tax code are the twin pillars of the Republican-run Congress’ legislative platform this year and GOP lawmakers have been eager for guidance from the president on both counts.

House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady of Texas welcomed Trump’s

remarks on taxes, and said “It was also great to hear the president’s strong support for our efforts to repeal Obamacare.”

House leaders hope to meet an ambitious goal of passing health legislation through the House and maybe even the Senate before mid-April. That was looking in doubt as divisions surfaced ahead of Trump’s speech, and it remains to be seen whether the deadline will be met.

Democrats, accustomed to jeering at Trump as he veers off message, advances false claims or resorts to personal insults, argued that in delivering a speech that did none of those things, Trump gave a wrong impression of how he has comported himself as president after five weeks in office.

“President Trump’s speech had an air of unreality because what he said tonight was so different than how he has governed in the first 40 days,” said Senate Minority L e a d e r Schumer Chuck Schumer of New York.

Schumer said Wednesday that despite Trump’s call for unity, the president “hasn’t reached out” to Democrats. Instead, Schumer told CNN, Trump’s actions “have favored the hard, hard right. That’s not where America is, that’s not even where the Republican Party is.”

Trump planned to continue his legislative push Wednesday, meeting with House and Senate leaders for lunch at the White House before leading a legislative affairs strategy session. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell also summoned senators to a closed-door afternoon meeting on health care to hash out divisions on the issue in that chamber.

But Republicans’ enthusiastic reception to Trump’s speech could belie tough fights ahead. Trump called on Congress to approve a $1 trillion infrastructure bill, something likely to set up a clash with deficit hawks, and also renewed his call for money for a border wall, which could provoke a spending fight with Democrats and even the threat of a government shutdown.

And underscoring the distance that still remains between Trump and congressional Republicans, the speech made no mention of overhauling the financially shaky Medicare or Social Security, the expensive, enormous entitlement programs that Republicans have long attacked. Trump’s budget leaves those programs untouched and Ryan has recently declined to say that dealing with them remains a priority.

On health care, far from his blanket statement in January that his plan would ensure “coverage for everybody,” Trump on Tuesday embraced an overhaul that would “increase access,” the phrase House Republicans have used to describe their more modest goal.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, March 1, 2017

Yes, deconstruct the administrative state Steve Bannon blew a dog whistle for constitutional conservatives when he spoke of “deconstructing the administrative state” at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Although not everyone got the reference. Trump haters interpreted the line as an incendiary call to decimate the federal government, when “the administrative state” was a more specific reference to a federal bureaucracy that operates free of the normal checks of democratic accountability.

The administrative state has been called “the fourth branch” of government. It involves an alphabet soup of executive agencies that wield legislative, executive and judicial powers and thus run outside of and counter to our constitutional system. The agencies write “rules” that are laws in all but name, then enforce them and adjudicate violations.

Boston University law professor Gary Lawson describes how this works in the case of, for instance,

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

the Federal Trade Commission: “The Commission promulgates substantive rules of conduct. The Commission then considers whether to authorize investigations into whether the Commission’s rules have been violated. If the Commission authorizes an investigation, the investigation is conducted by the Commission, which reports its findings to the Commission. If the Commission thinks that the Commission’s findings warrant an enforcement action, the Commission issues a complaint. The Commission’s complaint that a Commission rule has been violated is then prosecuted by the Commission and adjudicated by the Commission.”

Welcome to government by commission. James Madison

called such an undifferentiated accumulation of powers, which the Constitution is meant to avoid, “the very definition of tyranny.”

In his epic scholarship on the administrative state, Philip Hamburger argues that it is “a version of absolute power.” Constitutional law arose, Hamburger writes, to check the prerogative power of the British crown, and now the federal bureaucracy is replicating that prerogative power in extralegal practices.

If progressives in the Trump years were truly concerned with reaffirming the democratic accountability, they’d be delighted with a prospective deconstruction of the administrative state. But they built it and rely on it. A century-old ideological project, its roots are in the Progressive Era, and it grew apace during the New Deal and the Great Society. The idea was to circumvent the frustrations of constitutional government, with all its natural obstacles to action, and to institute rule by experts.

The administrative state is the friend of anyone hoping to aggrandize government. President Barack Obama would have been hobbled without it. He used the Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Communications Commission to institute sweeping new regulatory regimes on carbon emissions and the internet. He imposed his preferred social policies on schools and universities through “dear colleague” letters issued by middling bureaucrats.

The administrative state was exactly what he needed – a way to govern without Congress.

A hostility to the administrative state isn’t necessarily a natural for Trump, who isn’t a limited-government conservative or a constitutional purist. Yet he campaigned against regulation, he scorns the elite, and federal bureaucrats have already made clear their desire to frustrate his plans. Dethroning the administrative state fits into a populist program to restore power to the people through their elected

representatives.

It is chiefly Congress that needs to reassert itself vis-a-vis the administrative state. It has delegated its legislative powers over the decades, and needs to pull them back. As Adam White writes in an essay for City Journal, it should pass the REINS Act to require congressional approval for major new regulations. It should revisit laws like the Clean Air Act and the Communications Act of 1934 that give regulators too much leeway. It should limit the deference that courts give to administrative agencies.

None of this is the stuff of fire and brimstone, rather the mundane work of slowly lurching the wheels of the federal government back onto a constitutional track.

Something as entrenched as the administrative state won’t be “deconstructed” in one presidential term, or two. If it can be dialed back, though, it will be a significant victory for old-fashioned representative government.

We like to hear from you!

2016

Casting a spell HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

President Trump enjoyed a nice response to his speech to a joint session of Congress last night in Washington D.C. He’s a 70-yearold celebrity with flamboyant hair who’s been world-famous for over 40 years. Nobody is more qualified to announce the wrong winner at the Academy Awards.

The New York Post reported that thousands of witches in the United States declared that they would cast a spell on Donald Trump to nullify his election.

Their aim was a little off. Instead of changing the winner of the election, the witches accidentally changed the winner for Best Picture.

The Oscar night Best Picture epic screw-up Sunday had the country buzzing about Hollywood Monday. One of my Facebook friends sent me a message saying there is nothing sadder than a geriatric former playboy.

It really hurt my feelings till I realized she was talking about Warren Beatty.

The Oscars looked hapless Sunday after they spent three hours mocking Trump but couldn’t announce the correct Best Picture winner. Democrats immediately accused Russia of hacking into Warren Beatty. They can’t believe Putin would do that to the producer, director and star of “Reds.”

Price Waterhouse handed the wrong card to Warren Beatty at the Oscars Sunday. It read “La La Land” from a prior award but

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Best Picture was “Moonlight.”

President Trump said “La La Land” would have won the popular vote but millions of Academy members who are foreigners voted illegally.

The Academy Awards drew huge ratings for ABC Sunday with Democratic viewers anxious to hear any angry speeches.

The optics didn’t work with the message. In order to reclaim the working people of America, the Democrats throw an event where millionaires give golden statues to each other.

President Trump released plans to ask Congress for an extra 50 billion in military spending to defeat the terrorists. It requires every nickel. It took a trillion dollars, two wars and state-of-the-art satellite technology, but we were finally able to track down Osama bin Laden, he was in his house.

An Iranian filmmaker refused to come to Hollywood to collect his Academy Award in protest of Trump’s anti-terror protection orders. Certain restrictions apply.

There’s so much terrorism in the world it’s almost a relief that the guy who ran over all those people in New Orleans was just a drunk.

French nationalist candidate Marine Le Pen’s lead in the polls moved French leftists to urge Barack Obama to run for presi-

dent of France Friday. They have no birth requirement. The French could elect Barack Obama president, but after a month they will wish the Germans had won.

President Trump is set to roll out his replacement for ObamaCare this week to Congress. He’s determined to erase the Obama legacy. President Trump just signed an executive order replacing Michelle Obama’s White House vegetable garden with a swimming pool filled with Lay’s potato chips.

George W. Bush criticized Barack Obama in a “Today Show” interview Monday for pulling all U.S. troops out of Iraq too soon and creating a vacuum filled by ISIS. Hold on. If Saddam Hussein hadn’t been overthrown

by George W. Bush for no reason and he was still running Iraq, ISIS would be WASWAS. Heisman Trophy candidate Baker Mayfield of Oklahoma was arrested in Arkansas Friday for public intoxication and trying to flee arrest. A Fayetteville cop caught him, tackled him and put him in handcuffs. It’s looking like the only SEC defense that can stop Baker Mayfield is the Arkansas police.

Bartender’s Guide reported the publication of Mr. Boston’s Bartender’s Guide’s 75th anniversary edition. A cocktail can be the best therapy. Somewhere there is a bar where Hillary Clinton and the Atlanta Falcons just had to scoot down and make room for the cast of “La La Land.”

HINTS FROM HELOISE Grapes with a twist

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I’m a Dayton (Ohio) Daily News reader who enjoys your hints.

At a buffet table, I watched as nearly everyone who wanted a GRAPE or two held the bunch and pulled one or more free, often getting the stem as well. In the process, of course, they also deposited some of their hand germs on other grapes in the bunch.

Am I one of just a few who have discovered that by giving your selected grape a slight twist, it will come away from the bunch with ease and never a stem? – Jane A., via email Good grapes! Thanks for the hint, and it’s healthy, too.

If serving grapes at home for a buffet or just setting out a fruit plate, snip off SMALL bunches, about four to five grapes, with scissors, and then one only has to pick up what he or she wants. Much nicer, and easier to do, also.

– Heloise FROZEN WALNUTS Dear Heloise: My grandmother has some walnuts that have been in her freezer since 1976. She said that nuts are good forever if frozen.

Is this true? If not, how long will shelled nuts keep in the

freezer? – L.S., Cabot, Ark. Wow! That’s a loooong time! No, nuts cannot last that long, even in the freezer (oh nuts!). Shelled nuts, stored in an airtight container or freezer zipper-top bag, can last about a year or two.

– Heloise STORAGE CAN Dear Heloise: I enjoy reading your column every day in The (Greenville, Ohio) Daily Advocate.

Here is a hint for using those pretty popcorn cans after Christmas. I have several in my pantry: One with extra bags of brown, white and powdered sugar; one with bags of noodles, rice and miniature marshmallows; one with chips or other snacks; and one with cat- and dog-food treats. The cans keep the food fresh and away from ants or other bugs. – Mary S., New Madison, Ohio SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com MIXING HINT Dear Heloise: My hand

mixer came with a set of dough hooks. I inserted the hooks into a jar of almond butter and “kneaded” on low speed for less than two minutes. Done! The hooks are just long enough to reach the bottom of the jar and did a great job. I transfer the butter to several smaller containers (small canning jars are perfect), so stirring by hand is manageable when the oil separates again. – Carolyn in Alabama OVEN TEMPERATURES Dear Heloise: Here’s a hint my mom taught me: To avoid burnt-bottomed cookies, preheat the oven to 5 degrees higher than needed. Then adjust down to the correct temperature after putting the cookies in. That way, the heating element won’t come on, even with the temperature drop due to opening the door. – Katherine T., Perryville, Ark. As long as you remember to lower the temp! Generally, opening the door for long enough to put in a pan of cookies should NOT lower the temp that much. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, March 1, 2017

Reinvent your cooking with award-winning recipe ideas Restaurants across the country are featuring locally-sourced ingredients more often than ever before.

Home cooks are doing the same by using ingredients inspired by their home state.

Avocado from California, wild rice from Minnesota, lobster from Maine - every state has its specialties. If you need inspiration, just visit your local farmers market.

Want to shake things up with an award-winning recipe that embraces several of these top trends? Valerie Szlatenyi of Wakefield, Rhode Island, won the 2016 Eggland’s Best “America’s Best Recipe” Contest with her unique Johnny Cakes and Lobster Eggs Benedict recipe. To learn about future contests, visit www.egglandsbest.com and sign up for the newsletter.

Ancient grains Move over white rice; ancient grains are taking over the table. Whether as a side dish or incorporated into a recipe, ancient grains like buckwheat, quinoa, millet and oats are nutrient-dense alternatives that bring new flavor and texture to meals.

Adding ancient grains is an easy way to jazz up foods and increase your family’s intake Johnny Cakes and Lobster of whole grains.

Eggs Benedict Superior eggs Not all eggs are equal, so look for options with superior flavor and nutrition to boost your kitchen creations.

Compared to ordinary eggs, Eggland’s Best eggs contain five times more vitamin D, more than double the omega-3s, 10 times more vitamin E, three times more vitamin B12 and 25 percent less saturated fat. In addition, independent testing confirms Eggland’s Best eggs have stronger shells and stay fresher longer than ordinary eggs, so your recipes will be extra tasty.

Brines Many people use marinades to influence the flavor profiles of foods, but an alternative is gaining momentum: brines. Soaking meats like turkey and pork for up to a day in salt solutions not only adds flavor, but it helps seal moisture into these lean foods. Customize a brine with chopped citrus fruit and herbs like rosemary and bay leaf. Bitter vegetables, such as eggplant, can benefit from a dry brine made from course salt and other herbs.

Meal swaps Top chefs and home cooks alike are bucking tradition by serving traditional foods at nontraditional times. Breakfast for dinner? The kids will love the fun change. A dinner casserole for breakfast?

What a warm and satisfying way to start the day. Get creative by trying different dishes throughout the day to keep everyone guessing what’s next.

Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract.

Drizzle the caramel mixture over the top of the baked cookie dough and spread evenly. Pinch the remaining cookie dough between your fingers and crumble over the top of the caramel.

Bake for 18-20 minutes until the bars are puffed and the edges are slightly golden. Let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares.

CENTRAL DECATUR STATE BASKETBALL

Dream season comes to heartbreaking end Three seniors play final game at state ■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES — Raw emotions of Central Decatur seniors Jentri Hullinger, Lily Simon and Raegan Boothe showed on the court after Tuesday’s Class 2A quarterfinal game at the state tournament.

The tears showed how much this team meant.

How much this loss hurt.

They composed themselves for a moment, but the emotions welled over when asked about what this team, their careers had meant to them.

Central Decatur’s special season came to an end Tuesday with a heartbreaking 59-56 loss to Cascade at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

Emotional postgame “It’s gone,” said senior Reagan Boothe. “It’s just so hard for us because it’s over.”

“We wanted it so much and tried so hard.”

The chemistry showed between the three who have played together since fourth grade.

“They’re like family,” Hullinger said. “We spend most of our year with each other. With basketball, it’s a long season. In the summer we’re with each other every day at team camp, coming in and working in the morning. We were allowed to get really close.”

“They mean a lot to me.”

The three loved their time together.

“We get along so well,” Simon said. “I don’t bet there’s another team that has such a close bond.”

All three kept with it throughout the years.

“It’s the best,” Boothe said. “We’ve had other people and they’ve quit.

These two and myself — we’ve stuck together.

It’s just the right mix.”

“Lily’s personality came out. Jentri was always there and Raegan’s stubbornness was always there. It led us to what we want to achieve,” said Central Decatur coach Curtis Boothe.

“It’s just the satisfaction of being able to come to practice each day and realize it’s fun. We can play the game and not dread a single minute.”

All three have promising

futures beyond the basketball court and Central Decatur High School.

“Those three have persevered,” coach Boothe said.

“They wanted to be a part of our basketball team. I have nothing but love for those girls, who they are.

There are bigger things ahead of them. They’ll be successful with whatever they do in life.”

While Tuesday’s loss stings, knowing what they accomplished — going undefeated in the regular season and winning the Pride of Iowa Conference title, winning the regional title and reaching state — will be fondly remembered in the future.

“Twenty-four and one is pretty satisfying when we look back at it in a few weeks,” coach Boothe said.

blocked with a second left and time expired.

Cascade may lack a true star in the manner Central Decatur does with Raegan Boothe, Simon, Emma Atwood and Alli Masters, but all of its pieces work well together.

“We’re perfectly imperfect, but we play well together as a team,” Sconsa said.

Cascade had the upper hand early, jumping out to a 7-0 lead less than two minutes in. Central Decatur started clawing back, but trailed 17-12 after one quarter.

Central Decatur responded. The Cardinals used a 13-0 run over the next three and a half minutes to take a 25-19 lead after Raegan Boothe hit a three a couple of steps behind the NBA 3-point line.

The Cardinals kept the lead the rest of the second quarter and led 30-25 at halftime.

The Cardinals pushed the lead to their largest at eight, 41-33 in the third quarter, after another Raegan Boothe triple.

“We were finally getting our pace, getting some breaks on our side of the

court,” coach Boothe said.

“We hit some shots on our end of the court.”

Central Decatur appeared to be well on its way to blowing the game open, like it has done in all 24 games coming in.

Cascade had an answer.

A big one.

And at the same time, Central Decatur’s offense went ice cold.

“We were still getting some looks, we just didn’t get them,” coach Boothe said. “I can live with all those shots. For the most part, they were good shots.”

Raegan Boothe finished with 16 points to go with nine rebounds in her final game. Simon had 15 points, while Masters added 13 points and seven rebounds.

High Lakes Youth Leadership Group visit Secretary of State’s office DES MOINES – Students of the High Lakes Youth Leadership Group, from Afton and Creston toured the historic office of Secretary of State Paul Pate at the Iowa State Capitol in January.

They were provided an informational tour of the office by Secretary Paul PRINTED WITH

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate announces the annual national change of address process to update and maintain Iowa’s voter registration records is underway.

Over the next few weeks, voters who have filed a change of address with the U.S. Postal Service will receive a card in the mail from their county auditor saying the USPS indicates they have moved.

Voters who receive these cards in the mail should indicate if the new address is incorrect and quickly return the card to the county auditor’s office.

“We want to ensure Io-

wa’s voter rolls are as accurate and up-to-date as possible,” Pate said. “This is an important process that all 99 county auditors partake in and I appreciate their efforts to help us account for address changes and other factors that could impact the voter rolls.”

The mailing is being conducted at the direction of Pate to ensure full compliance with the National Voter Registration Act, which requires periodic contact with voters to ensure the most accurate information is on file.

For additional information, contact your county auditor’s office.

FRIDAY,

In emotional moment, Trump salutes slain SEAL’s wife moment of Trump’s address.

But Owens’ death, as well as the killing of several civilians, has raised questions about the effectiveness of the raid, and Trump took a moment to again litigate the decision.

He quoted Defense Secretary Jim Mattis defending the action, saying “Ryan was a part of a highly successful raid that generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemies.”

“Ryan’s legacy is etched into eternity,” Trump said.

“For as the Bible teaches us, there is no greater act of love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Ryan laid down his life for his friends, for his country, and for our freedom — we will never forget him.”

He also struck an awkward note, saying that the prolonged ovation would have made Carryn’s slain husband “very happy, because I think he just broke a record” for applause.

Carryn Owens cheered the president’s remarks.

But Owens’ father, Bill, has denounced the raid that took his son’s life and refused to meet with Trump when the president greeted the Navy SEAL’s remains when they were returned to the United States. He told the Miami Herald last weekend that the raid was a “stupid mission” and called for an investigation.

“Don’t hide behind my son’s death to prevent an investigation,” the elder Owens warned Trump. He did not attend the speech.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The widow of a U.S. Navy SEAL killed in Yemen stood in the balcony of the House chamber, tears streaming down her face as she looked upward and appeared to whisper to her husband.

Democrats and Republicans alike stood for minutes to applaud Carryn Owens, giving her the loudest cheers of the night in a rare moment of unity during President Donald Trump’s first speech to a joint session of Congress. Her husband, Senior Chief William “Ryan” Owens, was killed last month in a raid approved by Trump, a decision that has been sharply criticized by some — including the slain SEAL’s father — and which Trump continued to defend Tuesday night.

Trump, near the end of his hour-long speech, paid tribute to Carryn Owens, a surprise guest whose presence in the first lady’s box was not announced in advance by the White House.

“The challenges we face as a nation are great. But our people are even greater. And none are greater or braver than those who fight for America in uniform,” said Trump, who said they were “blessed” to be joined

by Owens.

The president then turned to the balcony where Owens sat next to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, and said “Ryan died as he lived: a warrior, and a hero — battling against terrorism and securing our nation.”

The chamber roared with cheers as Owens stood and cried, creating what would likely become the signature

the country,” Pate said. “It is a historical treasure all Iowans should visit.”
