Andrew Holly of Bristol, England, may drift into the Guinness World Records with the help of a few Crestonians.

On an average day, Holly, chief pilot and operations director of Exclusive Ballooning, operates branded hot air balloons for high profile clients from around the world. But, in February, Holly and his team temporarily closed shop and set out to crush a hot air ballooning record. Their goal:

to fly all 48 contiguous U.S. states in the fastest time during a calendar month.

“I’ve always wanted to roam America with a balloon in the truck,” the 42-year-old Holly said in a blog. “Road trips in the U.S. are so much fun and the option to stop off and meet up with balloonists along the route and see as much as we can from the air is fabulous.”

Holly’s adventure started Feb. 6 with the team taking their first flight from Louisville, Kentucky.

Their route was completely dependent upon weather, launching and landing

their balloon daily from different locations — such as Cadillac Ranch, Texas, Meteor Crater, Arizona, Temecula, California, Las Vegas, Nevada and Billings, Montana — the American landscape showcased it’s diverse terrain and weather.

On March 13, Iowa became the 47th state for Holly and his team to check off the list when Holly fllew in Creston.

Roger Saxton of Creston was at McDonald’s when he saw the large red balloon in the distance as it was preparing for take off from Creston Municipal Airport.

He decided to check out the launch for himself. They asked Saxton to be a witness for the Iowa leg of their record attempt.

“It was just a really neat experience,” Saxton said.

“We talked and they were so professional ... friendly.”

Saxton joined the chase crew and followed Holly’s team as they flew across Creston, landing on a the farm of Greg and Stacey Buxton.

“One of the most enjoyable flights of the whole trip tonight,” Holly wrote on his HOLLY | 2A

Southwestern Community College will be the main campground when an estimated 20,000 RAGBRAI cyclists invade Creston July 25.

That decision was made this morning by the Creston RAGBRAI committee. The other two campgrounds will be McKinley Park and Creston high school and middle school. In all, these three have more than 80 acres of camping space.

“They will be coming into town on Highway 25 and going right by the college. So, that made it an easy choice (as Gerharz the main c a m p ground),” said Ellen Gerharz, spokesperson for the Creston RAGBRAI committee.

Jo Duckworth, emergency management coordinator in Union County, did express concern this morning regarding available shelter near McKinley Park if severe weather were to strike July 25 or July 26. The newest restroom in the park does

double as a storm shelter, but only has an occupancy of 50 people.

“There might be a little more room in there (the restroom), but it would be like stacking cordwood,” D u c k worth said.

Theref o r e , D u c k worth is Duckworth requesting that those who live near McKinley Park and even those west of McKinley Lake make their basements available to cyclists. Contact Duckworth at 641-782-1622 if you are willing to provide that shelter.

“I will just need to know the capacity of their basement when they call,” Duckworth said. “Then we would assign their residence as a storm shelter. They will be given a sign to place outside their house.”

Duckworth said Southwestern Community College and Creston Schools have larger storm shelters for cyclists to find cover, if needed, that day.

Duckworth said she does plan to have a meteorologist in Creston that day and will be “very proactive” if RAGBRAI | 2A

Obama to back Belgium after attacks HAVANA (AP) — President Barack Obama pledged to “do whatever is necessary” to help Belgian authorities seek justice for the more than two dozen people who were killed Tuesday in explosions at the Brussels airport and the subway system.

“We stand in solidarity with them in condemning these outrageous attacks against innocent people,” Obama said in H a v a n a , Obama where he was closing a historic three-day visit. He commented on the events in Brussels at the top of a keynote address to the Cuban

people.

“We will do whatever is necessary to support our friend and ally Belgium in bringing to justice those who are responsible,” Obama said. He said America’s thoughts and prayers are with the people of Belgium.

Obama said Tuesday’s attacks provided yet another reminder “that the world must unite,” regardless of nationality, race or faith in “fighting against the scourge of terrorism.”

“We can and we will defeat those who threaten the safety and security of people all around the world,” he said.

Obama was briefed earlier Tuesday on the attacks. He also telephoned Prime Minister Charles Michel to offer OBAMA | 2A

Video shows trooper refusing to cooperate during arrest IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — An off-duty Iowa State Patrol trooper tried to get out of a drunken-driving arrest by repeatedly refusing to cooperate and then berating the arresting officer for making the “community weaker,” according to police recordings released Monday.

Audio and video from the arresting officer’s body camera and patrol car show Patrick Steinbach acting belligerently during the Dec. 20 arrest outside a woman’s home in Williamsburg, 25 miles west of Iowa City. The arrest prompted his resignation from the

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has ruled for more than 3,000 workers at a Tyson Foods Inc. pork-processing plant in Iowa in a pay dispute with the company.

The justices voted 6-2 on Tuesday to reject new limits Tyson asked them to impose on the ability of workers to band together to challenge pay and workplace issues.

Instead, the court upheld a $5.8 million judgment against the Springdale, Arkansas-based company for not paying employees for time spent putting on and taking off protective work clothes and equipment be-

There will also be music at the bandshell in McKinley Park during the afternoon, and the entertainment committee is working with Steve McDermott, superintendent of Creston Schools, to see about entertainment at the high school.

• Larry Richardson, chairman of ride right, will be notifying rural residents along the route in Union County and Ringgold County that RAGBRAI riders will be coming through the area July 25 and July 26.

As of Monday, Holly and support team departed and

foreign minister, said in a statement that the U.S. was working “to determine the status of all American citizens in Brussels.” The embassy there issued a statement telling Americans to stay where they are and “take the appropriate steps to bolster your personal security.”

The State Department said it was looking into reports that at least three Americans may have been wounded in the attacks, but cautioned that those reports were preliminary and unconfirmed.

At least one of the attacks was believed to be caused by a suicide bomber, and Belgium raised its terror alert to its highest level.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the ranking member of the House intelligence commit-

tee, said the attacks “bear all the hallmarks” of an Islamic State group coordinated or inspired attack. His staff said he received a preliminary briefing Tuesday from U.S. officials. Schiff says it’s unclear if encrypted communications played a role in the attacks but noted that the Brussels attacks occurred despite the city being under constant vigilance.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said it was closely monitoring the unfolding events and “would not hesitate to adjust our security posture, as appropriate, to protect the American people.”

was “playing games” to get the case thrown out.

When Steinbach finally submitted to a test, his blood alcohol content was twice the legal limit for driving, the video shows.

He told officers that his cousin was a great defense lawyer who would help him beat the case. Riding to the jail, he expressed shock he was being arrested and unleashed an expletive-filled outburst.

“Good for you, man. You make our (expletive) community weaker,” he told Mochal.

At the jail, Steinbach appeared confused on drunk-

en driving law — despite being well-versed in traffic laws as a Cedar Rapids-based trooper — and asked repeatedly to have an advisory on Iowa’s implied-consent law read to him.

His behavior was described as interference

by Mochal, but Steinbach wasn’t put in handcuffs, did not have his booking photo taken and wasn’t placed in a jail cell for hours.

“Don’t treat me like a criminal,” Steinbach told booking officer Doug Krutsinger, who agreed and shook his hand. “I’m not a bad guy.”

Other decisions made by the committee this month: • For entertainment, the main stage will be in uptown Creston and located in the city parking lot just west of the restored Depot.

That location was selected because there is a nearby transformer that will provide the power the bands will need.

There will be three bands performing uptown July 25.

patrol and the removal of a booking officer who gave him special treatment at the Iowa County jail.

The recordings, released to The Associated Press under Iowa’s open records law, show that the former Iowa State football player repeatedly refused to say whether he would take a breath test. He insisted it was “absurd” to suggest he would ever drive drunk, telling the arresting officer, “I love you guys like brothers.”

The officer, Jason Mochal, later called in the Williamsburg police chief to help and told Steinbach he

fore wielding sharp knives in slaughtering and processing the animals.

Tyson argued in its appeal that it should not have been forced to defend a class-action lawsuit that claims it failed to pay thousands of “knife-wielding” employees and others for time spent putting on and taking off protective work clothes and equipment at its Storm Lake, Iowa, plant. The employees do their jobs on the plant’s slaughter or “kill” floor and on the processing or “fabrication” floor.

Business groups that supported Tyson pressed the court to elaborate on

its 2011 decision blocking a massive sex-discrimination case against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. that would have included up to 1.6 million female workers. They wanted the court to rein in the use of statistical evidence to support the employees’ claims.

But Justice Anthony Kennedy, in his majority opinion, explicitly rejected the argument by Tyson and its backers to broadly rule out statistical evidence in these sorts of cases. “A categorical exclusion of that sort... would make little sense,” Kennedy wrote.

The opinion relied on a

70-year-old Supreme Court decision that allows workers to use statistical evidence in lawsuits over compensation when their employer doesn’t keep adequate records of their hours.

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented.

Tyson has faced similar litigation around the country. In 2010, it settled a decade-long dispute with the U.S. Department of Labor by agreeing to pay workers at some poultry plants for time they spent putting on and taking off protective clothing.

The case is Tyson Foods v. Bouaphakeo, 14-1146.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, March 22, 2016

Racism still with us There are those who believe President Obama is to blame for the divisions in our country, and they point out that during his presidency race relations have gotten worse. Others believe the reason the country is more divided and race relations are worse is because an awful lot of people can’t stand the idea that a black man was elected president.

It’s apparent the joy half of Americans felt with the election of Barack Obama has been offset by outright hostility of the other half, and it’s hard to ignore evidence that much of this hostility has to do with race. We have people in our midst, including those who attend church regularly, who express openly their hatred of him.

There are some, even among those who are well educated, who call him the N-word. His citizenship and religion continue to be questioned, and polls show a

In other words June Bower

large percent of American citizens still believe he is a Muslim. One doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to conclude racism is still with us in America.

For those who truly believe all people are created equal, it’s hard to accept that our great country and many of our great leaders accepted the practice of enslaving other human beings. Kidnapping citizens of Africa, shipping them to America under horrible conditions, turning them into slaves, working them like animals, punishing and abusing them, and separating children from their mothers is so barbaric, I still can’t wrap my head around it. I still can’t believe

religious Americans convinced themselves that people with black skin were subhuman.

Then, when slavery was abolished, the Jim Crow era was nearly as bad. Segregation of black people from white people was almost as demeaning and harmful as slavery. Denial of property rights, voting rights, equal education and just plain cruelty and brutality were a way of life, especially in the South, until outlawed by the civil right legislation of the 1960s and 70s.

Sadly, legislation couldn’t change attitudes; it couldn’t change hearts, and it couldn’t transform everyone into fair and compassionate people.

Granted there have been remarkable advances made by African Americans. Against great odds, most have worked their way into the middle class. Many are educated professionals who have risen to the top of corporations, ed-

ucational institutions, the military, politics and nearly every other segment of society. The best outcome has been when Americans completely lose awareness of skin color and it is happening all over the country.

There are still many, many troubled spots in race relations, but it helps when we see images of black and white citizens on an equal playing field. One area is television which is getting better and better at portraying all races the same.

The commercials, especially, are terrific! Black families, as well as other minorities, are presented in commercials no differently than white families are portrayed, and it’s being done so skillfully that no one even notices anymore. It should be obvious to anyone who thinks about the impact of these commercials that skin color is not even relevant.

It’s been all too common to

equate race with bad behavior.

The truth is color of skin has nothing to do with life style; it has to do with generational poverty, lack of education and environment.

It’s hard not to condemn the behavior of some of those living in poverty, and we all do it, but we should be able to understand that the differences in how people live and behave is not an issue of race.

It’s almost impossible, however, to convince a racist of that fact.

We’ve got wonderful smart kids of different races in our community who get along together just fine.

They are accepting of one another regardless of race, color or ethnicity. Unfortunately, we’ve also got some not-so-smart adults in our midst who say and do everything they can to promote the division of people along racial lines. Let’s hope our kids can continue to withstand the bigotry of some of their elders.

Letter to the editor

Don’t repeat this stunt at the railroad crossings From Jim Stalker Creston

I think probably it’s been a good thing that we got rid of the train whistles through the downtown, but we had to pay a high price to do it. The reconfiguration of the traffic lanes is a big adjustment, and not a friendly one.

The addition of the walking lane guides are not a pretty sight. For those of us who live here, this is old information, but for the benefit of new people, the traffic lane on southbound Elm Street is a trap that you can’t get out of, until the tracks are clear. Every once in a while, a train will be crossing on one track which takes about 10 minutes for the average coal train, and just before it get totally across, another train will come in from the opposite track, and you’ll have to wait another 10 minutes. It’s not Creston’s fault. It was all a part of the Federal Railroad Agency’s stipulations for a quiet zone.

Here’s something my wife and I witnessed last year while driving by the old restored Depot. There was an eastbound train on the track. I remember that it was early morning around 8 a.m. on a Sunday, so there wasn’t a locked-in line of cars waiting impatiently, just one man on a John Deere riding mower.

He had obviously been waiting on the first train. The second train

was just pulling out to go west. This fellow would have had to wait for that train also. This is a true story and I wouldn’t advise anyone to try it. We were attracted to it by the short bursts from the oncoming train whistle. This fellow, I don’t have a clue who he was, pulled into the westbound track and stopped, pointing west also. The westbound train had to stop at the crossing and wait for the eastbound train to pass, which it did, so the guy on the mower could continue on his way, which he did.

This insane act reminded me of the David and Goliath story. If you’ve ever been close to one of these engines, you know how huge they are. For someone to stand down one of these huge machines with a hundred or so cars trailing along behind, it was something to witness. When the eastbound crossed, he crossed, and the westbound went on it’s merry way out of town. It was a one-time sight, one that I don’t ever want to see again. Editor, please warn people of such a stunt.

We like to hear from you!

U.S. airmen at a nuclear missile base in Wyoming were suspended HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Donald Trump said in a Fox News interview Tuesday that he’s about to change his combative style onstage now that he’s the potential Republican Party nominee.

Trump announced that he will begin to act more presidential. This is the most eagerly-awaited transition since Bruce became Caitlyn.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz campaigned hard in Utah Friday telling GOP audiences he’s the one man who can beat Donald Trump. Ted Cruz is awfully optimistic for a guy whose record is something like five wins and fifteen losses in the primaries. If this were the NFL, he would get the first draft pick.

Miss Universe executives stripped Miss Puerto Rico of her title due to her rude and dismissive attitude in interviews and pulled her from the Miss Universe Pageant. The pageant is no longer owned by Donald Trump. So, rude and dismissive no longer allows you to win the talent competition.

Fox News canceled its Republican Party presidential candidate debate in Utah next Saturday after Donald Trump declined to participate. It has cost the Republicans two hours of cable network TV time to lay out their positions on today’s issues. In its place the network will air Birth of a Nation.

Donald Trump was ripped by the Establishment Republicans on one side and liberal interest groups on the other after sweeping Tuesday’s

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

primaries. It’s brutal. John Boehner is actively campaigning against Donald Trump in what police say is another case of orange on orange violence.

Paul Ryan met with big GOP donors at a French restaurant in Palm Beach to discuss what to do about Donald Trump Thursday. The answer is always right there in front of you if you open your eyes. Here they were in a French restaurant and it never occurred to them to surrender to reality.

Donald Trump cited his PGA golf tournament at Doral as an example of all the charity work he’s done in his life. Still, he’s a born capitalist. As a kid, Donald Trump volunteered to work handing out free lunches at a Bronx soup kitchen, and he didn’t know it was inappropriate to put out a tip jar.

Alabama’s Senator Jeff Sessions revealed to reporters Friday he has begun advising Donald Trump on foreign policy and national security. That’s very telling. So now if Trump is elected U.S. president, it’s a guessing game which country he’ll knock off first, the Islamic State or the North.

The New York Post reported Michelle Obama insisted on the entire top floor of the W Hotel in

Austin when she arrived to address the South by Southwest Festival. It bumped dozens of celebrities into old, small motels on the outskirts of the city. Three of the motel billboards read, As Seen on COPS. The London Daily Mail reported that an English surgeon accidentally gave a vasectomy to the wrong person in a London hospital. The surgeon has abjectly confessed to malpractice and asked the medical board to consider the good news for the patient. Tonsilitis is now the least of her problems.

U.S. airmen at a nuclear missile base in Wyoming were suspended on Friday suspected of using cocaine while on duty. There is a difference between doing cocaine and having hundreds of long range atomic missiles under your command. Cocaine really makes you feel like you have world power.

President Obama scolded the GOP candidates for the brutal anti-government discourse which he said harms the American brand. It only added to the public’s cynicism.

Will Rogers once joked that America has the best government money can buy, and then he died in a mysterious plane crash.

CBS announced it will switch over the Final Four NCAA basketball games to TBS rather than cover the tournament all the way through. It’s already a lost cause for some of us casual fans. This year my NCAA bracket card is so bad I have the Montreal Expos winning the Democratic nomination.

Hogan-Gawker awarded $25M ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — A Florida jury awarded a total of $25 million in punitive damages Monday in the Hulk Hogan sex tape trial, hitting Gawker Media with a $15 million judgment and its owner, Nick Denton, with $10 million.

It also assessed $100,000 against A.J. Daulerio, the Gawker editor who decided to post the edited sex video and wrote the post that accompanied it.

The punitive damages come on top of a $115 million the jury imposed Friday after two weeks of trial.

Hogan sued Gawker after it posted a video of him

having sex with his thenbest friend’s wife. Hogan said he didn’t know he was being taped.

Hogan’s lawyer had asked jurors Monday to add punitive damages to the $115 million judgment.

Gawker’s lawyer pleaded that the existing verdict was already “debilitating” for the company.

During brief closing arguments Monday, Hogan’s lawyer Kenneth Turkel said Gawker Media’s gross revenues in 2015 were $48.7 million and that founder Nick Denton has a total of $121 million, including a $3.6 million Manhattan condo. Gawker Media is worth $83 million, the law-

yers said.

Daulerio, the editor, has no assets, the lawyers said. They said Daulerio has $27,000 in student loan debt.

Turkel had asked the jury to decide on a punitive amount as both punishment to Gawker and a deterrent to other media companies.

Jurors have “an ability to send a message,” Turkel said, adding that Gawker acted with reckless disregard when it posted an edited version of the sex video.

Michael Sullivan, representing Gawker, said, “The $115 million judgment “is punishment enough” and “is already far beyond their

means.”

“The amount of that verdict could already be debilitating for Gawker Media,” Sullivan said.

“Your verdict will send a chill down the spine of writers, producers, and publishers,” he added.

One juror, 35-year-old Salina Stevens, told reporters that watching the video posted by Gawker finally convinced her to find for Hogan.

“I believe his privacy was violated and that’s not OK,” she said.

Despite the jury’s decision on punitive damages, it’s clear the case isn’t over.

Gawker has already said it would appeal.

Dornbos, Katzer plan September wedding CENTRAL MICHIGAN — Dan and Laura Dornbos of Hudsonville, Michigan, announce the engagement and upcoming marriage of their daughter Krista Dornbos to Sam Katzer, both of central Michigan, son of Deb Katzer and Jerry and Ronda Katzer, all of Creston.

Dornbos graduated from Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, in 2015 with a doctorate in audiology. She is currently employed as audiologist at Mid-Michigan Ear, Nose and Throat in East Lansing, Michigan.

Katzer graduated from

Sam Katzer and Krista Dornbos Iowa State University in Ames in 2010 with a degree in agricultural studies. He is currently employed as district sales manager for Asgrow and Delkab with Monsanto in central Michigan. The couple plan a Sept. 10 wedding, and look forward to riding through Creston during RAGBRAI in July.

Affleck serious about Batman role NEW YORK (AP) — Ben Affleck hopes Batman fans who were skeptical of him playing the caped crusader in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” realize how seriously he took the role.

“The most difficult thing about making this movie, honestly, was the physical aspect,” Affleck told The Associated Press on Sunday on the red carpet for the film’s New York premiere at Radio City Music Hall.

Affleck said he wanted to be in shape, so he worked out hard.

“Having to be in the gym every day, six in the morning ... I wasn’t used to

that kind of workout regimen,” Affleck said. “Fans have come to expect that if you’re going to play a superhero, you got to look in the body like a superhero.

I knew the camera was going to be looking at me and the guillotine was there so I knew I had to be ready.”

When Warner Bros. made the announcement nearly three years ago that Affleck would play Batman, some fans weren’t thrilled, and the backlash led to petitions asking the studio to remove him.

Eventually, it blew over, and the two-time Oscar winner feels proud to be part of the Batman legacy.

“I’m really honored to

I’m more critical. No one is more concerned or critical or worried about doing a good job than I am,” Eisenberg said.

Amy Adams, who plays Lois Lane in the film, praised both Eisenberg and Affleck.

“I think the audience is going to have to decide for themselves. (I) got to see it, and I was blown away,” Adams said. “They both bring something we’ve never seen before in these characters, but something that really pays homage to the canon, so I think they are going to be really happy.”

“I think people are going to like it,” Affleck said. “All you can do is do your best.”

be part of a tradition that Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan, great talents, worked on. Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Tim Burton, great talents. So I just wanted to do my best. I think we did something different, but something that is still very much Batman,” Affleck said.

Co-star Jesse Eisenberg shared a similar experience when he was cast as Superman’s arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor.

Eisenberg, famous for his role as Mark Zuckerberg in “The Social Network,” empathized with his critics.

“I can assure them as critical as they are of me,

‘Water’ is the watchword of the day Dear Readers: Today is WORLD WATER DAY. It’s celebrated every year on March 22, regardless of what day of the week.

Organized by the United Nations, it is a day to celebrate water. A simple statement, but without fresh, clean water, people cannot live. How are crops watered? What about food preparation?

There are millions and millions of people around the world who do not have access (or easy access) to clean water. They may walk miles and have to carry a bucket just to get water to consume. You turn on a tap; they walk miles!

You flush the toilet; they don’t have one! You brush your teeth; they don’t have a sink!

Every year is themed, and this year’s theme is “Water and Jobs.” If you are interested in donating your time or money, go to www.unwater. org for more information. Use #WorldWaterDay to join the conversation on social media!

The Warriors are the 3rd team in NBA history to go 70 games into a season without consecutive losses.

National Digest

Dixon to TCU Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon is headed to his alma mater, TCU, where he played on the Horned Frogs team that won an NCAA tournament game nearly three decades ago.

TCU hired Dixon on Monday, a week after Trent Johnson was fired after only eight Big 12 Conference wins in his four seasons.

Scott Barnes, Pittsburgh’s athletic director for less than a year, said there had been several conversations with Dixon about the job since the Panthers were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament last week.

TCU will introduce Dixon as its new coach during a news conference Tuesday. Athletic director Chris Del Conte tweeted late Monday, “Look who’s coming home,” with a picture of Dixon and his family with the AD and other TCU officials.

The 50-year-old Dixon had a contract with Pitt until 2023, with a buyout that was believed to be about $10 million.

Without getting into specific numbers, Barnes said the significant buyout was “above anything” he had seen in the marketplace. But Pitt “softened” it to allow Dixon to follow his heart back to TCU.

Sager’s cancer Turner Sports reporter Craig Sager said his cancer is no longer in remission.

This is the third time Sager has battled leukemia since he was first diagnosed with the disease in 2014.

In an interview that will air Tuesday on HBO’s “Real Sports,” Sager concedes he has a tough road ahead.

“I’ve already had two stem-cell transplants.

Very rarely does somebody have a third,” Sager said in an excerpt of the interview posted online.

“So I have to maintain my strength, so I can go through this.”

Sager previously received bone-marrow and stem-cell transplants from his son, Craig. He plans to continue his fight.

Sager, 64, primarily works on Turner’s broadcasts of the NBA and NCAA tournament. He has become a well-known fixture, thanks to his years of experience and colorful suits.

Warriors win MINNEAPOLIS — The San Antonio Spurs have given the rest of the NBA a defensive blueprint for beating the Golden State Warriors.

If the defensively challenged Minnesota Timberwolves can nearly pull it off, the defending champions should expect to see it a lot more down the stretch as they chase history.

Draymond Green had 24 points, nine rebounds and six assists to help the Warriors narrowly avoid their first two-game skid in nearly a year with a 109-104 victory over the Timberwolves on Monday night.

Klay Thompson scored 17 points and hit all five of his 3-pointers, and the Warriors (63-7) overcame a second straight poor shooting night from Stephen Curry.

Marshalltown sweeps Spartans in doubleheader

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

After Saturday’s doubleheader at Marshalltown was postponed because of weather, Marshalltown Community College swept host Southwestern Community College in a doubleheader on Sunday.

Southwestern fell by scores of 10-3 and 10-0 in the chilly and windy conditions on the Southwestern campus.

The Spartans dropped to 5-14 for the season with the two losses.

Despite the lopsided scores, the Spartans had plenty of opportunities, especially in the opening game.

“That was the story throughout both games,” Southwestern head coach Pedro Hernandez said.

“We had six opportunities with runners on second and we only delivered once. We couldn’t capitalize when we had runners on base. On the other hand, they did when they had runners on base. That was the difference in the game.”

Southwestern had runners on first and second with one out in the bottom of the third inning of a scoreless game. The Spartans had their third and fourth hitters in the lineup coming up.

A soft grounder back to the pitcher advanced the runners, but left the Spartans with two outs and the inning ended on a fly ball.

“If we score there, we take the lead and it’s a different ballgame,” Hernandez said. “Same in the

Trailing 10-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Alexander Rios smoked a line drive two-run home run just inside of the right field foul pole to cut the Marshall- Rios

town lead to 10-3.

Jake Duren’s screamer past the first baseman down the line went for a double, putting runners on second and third and the bases were loaded after a hit by pitch.

Frias stepped to the plate and hit a deep, towering shot to right-center field that got caught up in the wind and was caught just inside of the warning track for the final out.

“Any different day prob-

ably, that ball was gone.

With the wind blowing in, there was nothing going out of the park that side of the field,” Hernandez said. “To Marshalltown’s credit, the kid who threw game one for them is going to Missouri State. It’s a D-I arm we were facing. He had a tough slider. We figured it out at the end, but it was too late.”

Kolton Gonnerman pitched six-plus innings for Marshalltown, giving up

just four hits and striking out six with three walks.

John Bisignano took the loss for the Spartans, throwing four innings with 12 hits and seven runs allowed, while striking out three and walking one. Brian Anderson pitched three innings of relief with three hits, three runs and three walks.

Rios finished 1-for-2 in the game with two walks and the two-run home run.

Upsets create new Final Four paths for 1-seeds Virginia, UNC

By AARON BEARD AP Basketball Writer

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Upsets and wild finishes have altered the NCAA Tournament landscape for No. 1 seeds Virginia and North Carolina in their bids for the Final Four.

Ten of the top 16 seeds have reached the Sweet 16, and seven of those are with fellow top seeds Oregon in the West Region or Kansas in the South. But the Midwest and East have lost several expected roadblocks for the Cavaliers and Tar Heels, respectively.

Here’s a look at those new tournament paths: ___ MIDWEST No one talked much about Virginia thanks to the presence of second-seeded Michigan State, which had ousted the higher-seeded Cavaliers the past two years.

Now the Cavaliers (28-7) have a favorable draw after the Spartans lost to 15-seed Middle Tennessee in the tournament’s biggest upset.

“It was something to take note of and to recognize,” Virginia star Malcolm Brogdon said Saturday after a win against Butler in Raleigh, “but at the same time, we’re not really a team that, you know, focuses on everything else.”

That task-at-hand focus is one of the reasons the Cavaliers are here, along with an efficient offense and a defense that seems to tighten its grip as the games go on.

KenPom’s top-ranked team meets No. 4 seed Iowa State (23-11) in Chicago on Friday. Win that, and the

Cavaliers will face a double-digit seed — either 10seed and ACC leaguemate Syracuse (21-13) or 11-seed Gonzaga (28-7) — for their first Final Four since 1984. ___ EAST Preseason No. 1-ranked North Carolina (30-6) did the expected by reaching Friday’s games in Philadelphia. The other top seeds — No. 2 Xavier, No. 3 West Virginia and No. 4 Kentucky — weren’t so lucky.

UNC faces No. 5 seed and Big Ten regular-season champion Indiana (27-7) in the first tournament meeting between the two since 1984, when the Hoosiers upset the Tar Heels to end Michael Jordan’s college career.

The bracket also features No. 6 Notre Dame (23-11) and No. 7 Wisconsin (2212). And if the seeds hold, there would be an all-Atlantic Coast Conference final for a league with a tournament-record six Sweet 16 teams.

“I probably think we’ve played our best basketball the entire season in these last couple of weeks,” UNC coach Roy Williams said after Saturday’s home-state win against Providence in Raleigh. “Now is that going to transfer when we play (in Philadelphia)? I have no idea because (they’re) 18-, 19-, 20- or 21-yearolds. But the appreciation I have for them is because they’ve earned it.” ___ SOUTH Kansas’ bracket largely went according to plan entering Thursday’s games in Louisville, Kentucky.

Lucky and good: Cyclones streak to Sweet 16

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

AMES (AP) — For years, nothing seemed to break in Iowa State’s favor during the NCAA Tournament.

This might finally be the March for the Cyclones.

Iowa State (23-11) is back in the Sweet 16 for the second time in three years,

and this time the Cyclones are healthy and rolling heading into Friday’s game against top-seeded Virginia in Chicago. If it can upset the Cavaliers, Iowa State will face either Syracuse or Gonzaga, both double-digit seeds, for a trip to the Final Four.

“I feel great for the kids because it’s about them,” first-year coach Steve

Prohm said. “I believe we have more in us.”

neth Negron and Waldemar Figueroa finished out the game.

“Pitching, overall the whole day, our secondary stuff was not there. Our command was not there, either,” Hernandez said. “At this level, when you’re not hitting your spots, you’re going to get hit. Unfortunately we were on the wrong side of it and we were hit a lot because of it.

When you add in the secondary stuff was not sharp, it’s a recipe for disaster.”

Morales and Gabriel Vazquez each finished 1-2 in the g a m e , w h i l e Rios was 1-2 with a double.

Morales “ H e (Wood)

kept us off balance the whole game. Every time you face a left it’s tough.

He was throwing 86 yesterday and our guys were having a hard time figuring him out,” Hernandez said.

“We got two opportunities there where we put runners on base and we didn’t capitalize. Add to that we committed three errors in that game and it didn’t help. We couldn’t execute the little things in the game.”

Southwestern plays today at Johnson County Community College in a single nine-inning game.

The Spartans are scheduled to host Iowa Lakes on Friday and Saturday in a pair of doubleheaders to open ICCAC Division II play.

Those games were originally scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, but were moved up to 2 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m. Saturday.

“There was a lot of motivation from last year, that feeling that we had,” Kansas senior Perry Ellis said, “and we just want to continue to play the way we are and have fun and take it game by game.” ___ WEST This is the only bracket that went chalk with all four top seeds advancing, which has happened just 16 times since 1985, according to STATS.

the best such streak in school history. But until this season, the Cyclones never seemed to find any luck.

In 2012, Iowa State ran into eventual national champions Kentucky in the second round and got blown out. Three years ago, the Cyclones were poised for an upset of second-seeded Ohio State in the round of 32 before a few calls and an Aaron Craft 3-pointer sent them home with a 78-75 loss.

Star Georges Niang broke his foot in the opening game in 2014, and the season ended in the Sweet 16 with Niang a loss to Connecticut, another eventual national champion.

Last year, Iowa State was upset by 14th-seeded UAB. But everything has gone right for the Cyclones so far.

Iowa State was matched against a team that runs a similar up-tempo offense in the opening round. Iona, a 13 seed, couldn’t keep up and fell 94-81. The Cyclones then caught a break when Arkansas-Little Rock upset Purdue, whose big men would have presented a massive challenge for Iowa State’s smallish frontcourt. Iowa State throttled the Trojans, 78-61.

The Cyclones offense rolled through the first weekend behind Niang, averaging 86 points while shooting at least 50 percent in each game.

“We’re just moving the ball really well. We’re making the extra pass. We’re going through Georges.

He’s been out there really killing them,” forward Matt Thomas said.

Iowa State might have also helped itself by bowing out the Big 12 Tournament early.

The Cyclones fell to Oklahoma in its first game, partly because standout point guard Monte Morris was still dealing with a strained shoulder injury he sustained in a loss at Kansas. But the few extra

days of rest seemed to help Morris get healthy again, as he scored 20 points with eight assists and three steals in Morris the win over Iona.

“I was in a lot of pain,” he said. “It’s definitely not 100 percent, but it’s definitely getting back to that way. I was just happy I was out there. I was smiling, I’ve got my legs back under me, so I feel like it was a good time for me to back.”

Iowa State will be an underdog to Virginia, which was ranked No. 4 in the final poll. But Iowa State has already beaten three topfive teams this season, and a fourth win would put the Cyclones within one game of the Final Four.

• Use ICE. An ICE (In Case of Emergency) contact is commonly known to responders as a way for them to quickly access people’s emergency contacts in their phones. People are encouraged to add the letters “ICE” to an emergency person in their contact list to help responders. The ICE app takes this concept a step further. It allows people to store information about their health conditions, current medications, allergies, physicians, contact numbers and other key information, which can be instantly accessed in an emergency.

• Contribute to weather reports. In addition to checking a weather app, the Mping (Meteorological Phenomena Identification Near the Ground) app is a crowdsourcing tool for weather reporting. You can use it to track and report precipitation in your area, then submit the data to the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory.

• Prepare and recover.

The American Red Cross provides a free app with real-time information about severe weather situations.

The Red Cross also provides step-by-step instructions on how to prepare for and recover from a storm.

Smartphone-users can use these online tools to request assistance and learn how they can help others affected by storms.

The Internet, local news and radio are great ways to check a weather forecast.

When skies turn from sunny to stormy, many people reach for their pocket or purse for the device they always have with them – their smartphone.

Mobile devices have changed the way we prepare for, endure and recover from severe weather.

According to a recent U.S. Cellular survey, 94 percent of smartphone users check the weather forecast regularly from their mobile devices. Smartphones and tablets have become vital tools as people track and prepare for pending storms and cope with the aftermath.

“There are a variety of apps, tips, accessories and websites that smartphone-users have access to that can help when severe weather threatens or hits,” said Erryn Andersen, U.S. Cellular’s director of sales in Iowa and Nebraska. “During unpredictable spring and summer weather, people can rely on their mobile devices to stay in-

formed, prepared and connected.”

In honor of Severe Weather Awareness Week March 21-25, U.S. Cellular offers the following tips to help you monitor Mother Nature: • Check your weather news apps. The Weather Channel and AccuWeather have reliable and popular apps that provide weather updates anywhere. Local TV stations also have apps to ensure you will have the latest news at your fingertips.

• Access social media.

Social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, have become a preferred way to quickly get and share information. During severe weather, they can help provide real-time updates and keep you in contact with loved ones.

• Stay in touch by text.

Texting can be helpful during severe weather. If phone service is affected because of a storm or high call volume, text messages could still go through because they require less network bandwidth than calls.

• Have ample accessories.

An extra battery is great to have if you need to use your phone during a storm and can’t charge it. It’s also a good idea to carry a car charger, in case you lose power and are unable to charge a mobile device indoors.
