It’s been a long time coming.

But finally, private developer Don Sonntag of Atlantic and Creston city officials have worked through all the red tape. And this spring, more than a dozen condominium units are expected to be constructed in the Cottonwood Subdivision.

“We started on this project about 1 1/2 years ago,” Sonntag said. “We had a problem with a line being drawn wrong on the flood plain map.

We knew the line was drawn Sonntag wrong. I think they (Department of Natural Resources) knew it was wrong, too, but these kinds of things take time to correct. It was a slow process.

But, we’re through all of that now and are ready to move forward.”

Sonntag plans to build 14 condominium units in the subdivision in 2016. He’s proposing two different condominium floor plans in this housing project. The first floor plan is 1,459 square feet with two

bedrooms, two baths, double car garage and (unfinished) walkout basement. Estimated cost for that floor plan is $269,950.

The second floor plan is 1,229 square feet on a slab with two bedrooms, two baths and two-car garage with an estimated cost of $185,950.

Sonntag said he already has seven prospective buyers “on board” and ready to purchase one of these condominiums.

Sonntag said once Creston City Council approves the fi-

nal plat and contract for this project, which may happen during its regular meeting April 5, then he will cue his subcontractor to begin “moving dirt” immediately to get the lots ready at the site.

Sonntag said all the condominiums will be stick built, and he is making a real effort to hire local subcontractors.

He’s already talked with Akin Building Center in Creston about furnishing the materials for these condos.

Sonntag has made special

mention that these condominiums do not have steps at the front door or garage entrance. Also, these condominiums include snow removal, lawn care, garbage pickup and other miscellaneous benefits with paid Association fees, which he estimates will be between $75 and $100 monthly.

Along with these condos being built on Cottonwood Street, Sonntag will CONDOS | 2A

MASON CITY (AP) — Employers in northern Iowa are trying to fill a bounty of agricultural jobs.

Local economic development officials are touting a series of jobs that are directly and indirectly related to farming. The list includes work in cooperatives, ethanol plants and feed mills, according to the Globe Gazette (http://bit. ly/1SouWV6 ).

“There are definitely agricultural sector jobs available,” said Winnebago-Worth Betterment Corp.

Director Teresa Nicholson.

Several ag-related businesses were ready to take applications last week at a regional career fair at North Iowa Area Community College and hire people.

Egg supplier Sparboe Farms has a hub in New Hampton but offers work opportunities in multiple locations.

“I think there’s always been a need and it’s not an industry that’s going to go away,” said Ashley Grant,

who works at the company’s Britt location.

Vern Toohey of North Central Cooperative in Kanawha said it’s tough to find the right employee these days.

“I’m going to have a guy retire in the first part of April and I’m looking at adding a full-time truck driver,” Toohey said. “That’s tough.”

After publishing two ads in separate newspapers, Toohey said he only got two responses for the job, which offers full benefits and a competitive salary.

Low unemployment rates in area counties can make it tough to find employees.

The rate in many counties around Mason City ranges between 3 and 5 percent, while the statewide average is 4.5 percent.

Jennifer Andrade, an IowaWorks business marketing specialist, said her group is encouraging more businesses to focus on outreach by visiting local high schools.

Castro to Obama: We don’t need your ‘presents’ HAVANA, CUBA (AP) — Fidel Castro responded Monday to President Barack Obama’s historic trip to Cuba with a long, bristling letter recounting the history of U.S. aggression against Cuba, writing that “we don’t need the empire to give us any presents.”

The 1,500-word letter in state media titled “Brother Obama” was Castro’s first response to the president’s three-day visit last week, in which the American president said he had come to bury the two countries’ history of Cold War hostility.

Obama did not meet with the 89-year-old Fidel Castro on the trip but met several times with his 84-year-old brother Raul Castro, the current Cuban president.

Obama’s visit was intended to build irreversible momentum behind his opening with Cuba and to convince the Cuban people and the Cuban government that a half-century of U.S. attempts

to overthrow the Communist government had ended, allowing Cuban to reform its economy and political system without the threat of U.S. interference.

Fidel Castro writes of Obama: “My modest suggestion is that he reflects and doesn’t try to develop theories about Cuban politics.”

Castro, who led Cuba for decades before handing power to his brother in 2008, was legendary for his hours-long, all-encompassing speeches.

His letter reflects that style, presenting a sharp contrast with Obama’s tightly focused speech in Havana. Castro’s letter opens with descriptions of environmental abuse under the Spaniards and reviews the historical roles of Cuban independence heroes Jose Marti, Antonio Maceo and Maximo Gomez.

Castro then goes over crucial sections of Obama’s speech line by line, engaging in an ex-post-facto dialogue CASTRO | 2A

with the American president with pointed critiques of perceived slights and insults, including Obama’s failure to give credit to indigenous Cubans and Castro’s prohibition of racial segregation after coming to power in 1959.

Quoting Obama’s declaration that “it is time, now, for us to leave the past behind,” the man who shaped Cuba during the second half of the 20th century writes that “I imagine that any one of us ran the risk of having a heart attack on hearing these words from the President of the United States.”

Castro then returns to a review of a half-century of U.S. aggression against Cuba. Those events include the decades-long U.S. trade embargo against the island; the 1961 Bay of Pigs attack and the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner backed by exiles who took refuge in the U.S. He ends with a dig at the Obama administration’s drive to increase business ties with Cuba. The Obama administration says re-establishing economic ties with the U.S. will be a boon for Cuba, whose centrally planned economy has struggled to escape from

over-dependence on imports and a chronic shortage of hard currency.

The focus on U.S-Cuba business ties appears to have particularly rankled Castro, who nationalized U.S. companies after coming to power in 1959 and establishing the communist system into which his brother is now introducing gradual market-based reforms.

“No one should pretend that the people of this noble and selfless country will renounce its glory and its rights,” Fidel Castro wrote.

Horoscope Tuesday, March 29, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Avoid controversial subjects today, because people are quick to anger.

Furthermore, not only are people hot-tempered, they are blind to logic and reason.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a poor day to discuss how to share something, because people are intense.

However, if you really have to fight for your best interests, it might work; you will be courageous!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Don’t make a big deal out of things with partners and close friends today, because matters quickly can get out of hand.

Wear water wings, and stay in the shallow end of the pool.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You have lots of energy to work today. The only downside is that you might be demanding of others. Just take it easy.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a powerful day for those of you who are involved in sports.

However, regarding other matters, you might be coming on too strong. Be gentle with children and romantic partners.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You can use your energy today to move furniture and make improvements and renovations to your home. Do your best to avoid family arguments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You are powerful and forceful today! Because you are persuasive, people will listen to you. Nevertheless, don’t be overbearing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Be careful when shopping today, because you might be overruled by your strong feelings instead of your good common sense. There’s a difference between a want and a need.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a powerful day for you, because the Moon is in your sign, lined up with fiery Mars. This makes you courageous, but also inclined to argue! Stay chill.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You can pull some strings from behind the scenes today because you have influence.

One area that is a strong focus now is your home and family.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Avoid confrontations with

a female companion, especially in a group, today. Things could quickly get out of hand.

Keep your head down and your powder dry.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Discussions with authority figures might be too intense today. Be polite — the power of courtesy can never be underestimated. Don’t go looking for trouble, because it easily will find you!

YOU BORN TODAY You are comfortable drawing attention to yourself, because you want

to make a statement. This year is one of growth and building.

Initially, this growth will take place beneath the surface, but it will begin. Next year will bring major changes. You will strengthen your financial position if you reduce your overhead. You are building for your future.

Final Four appearances by North Carolina, most in NCAA history.

National Digest ISU falls CHICAGO — No. 1 seed Virginia beat Iowa State, 84-71, in the Midwest Regional Friday night, advancing to its first Elite Eight since 1995.

That they did did it without being able to minimize the number of possessions in the game or slow down one of college basketball’s most potent offensive teams.

“We’re going to play our game,” forward Isaiah Wilkins said. “We don’t have to run up and down.

That’s not really our system. That’s not who we are. We could care less what the score is as long as we win.”

With the crowd lifting the Cyclones after every basket, Iowa State surged to start the second half, climbing back from a 17-point hole to get within 51-44 with 14 minutes remaining. But Iowa State couldn’t keep it going, largely because senior forward Georges Niang picked up his fourth foul on a questionable call defending the post with 13:11 remaining.

Niang, Iowa State’s leading scorer and best player, had 22 points at the time and was beginning to find openings in the Virginia defense, which did a good job pushing him to the perimeter in the first half. But the Cyclones’ offense struggled for a key stretch without Niang, allowing the Cavaliers to build their lead back to 6348 by the time Iowa State coach Steve Prohm could get him back on the floor.

Niang finished with 30 points in his final college game, capping off a highly decorated career.

Syracuse stunner CHICAGO (AP) — Malachi Richardson scored 21 of his 23 points in the second half, and Syracuse extended its improbable run with a 68-62 victory over top-seeded Virginia on Sunday.

The Orange were among the last teams to get into the NCAA Tournament after a rough closing stretch, but slipped in as a 10 seed before storming to its first Final Four since 2013 and No. 6 overall. It comes at the end of a challenging season for coach Jim Boeheim, who was suspended for nine games as the result of an NCAA investigation.

Syracuse (23-13), which trailed by 16 at the start of the second half, becomes the first 10 seed to make it to the Final Four and just the fourth double-digit seed to accomplish the feat. It’s the lowest seeded team to reach the national semifinals since No. 11 VCU in 2011, according to STATS. Michael Gbinije and freshman Tyler Lydon each scored 11 points for the Orange, who will face North Carolina on Saturday in Houston in another all-ACC showdown.

Tyler Roberson finished with 10 points and eight rebounds.

Only top seed PHILADELPHIA (AP) Brice Johnson had 25 points and 12 rebounds to lead North Carolina to an 88-74 victory over Notre Dame on Sunday night, leaving the Tar Heels as the only No. 1 seed in the Final Four.

Panther boys bolstered by newcomers

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

Creston boys track is ready to usher in a new era when the season opens Tuesday afternoon at the Hawkeye 10 Conference Southern Division Meet in Glenwood.

Lost to graduation from last year’s 15th-place team in Class 3A are two mainstays of the Panther lineup from the past four years — twotime Drake Relays medalist and two-time 800 meter state champion Jay Wolfe and Drake Relays qualifier and 800 meter state medalist Bryce Briley.

Even though the Panthers lose a large amount of their point production from last year, head coach Pat Schlapia is excited about the prospects of this year’s team.

Returning for the Panthers are two-time state meet qualifier Cooper McDermott and fellow senior Nick Walsh, a state qualifier in the 4x800 relay last year.

McDermott, a four-time state cross country qualifier, has state meet experience in the 1,600 meters as a sopho-

more and the 4x800 relay the past two years.

“He missed the first half of last track season with a fractured ankle, but was still part of the state 4x800 last season,” Schlapia said. “He’ll focus on the 3,200 and the 1,600, with a chance to be one Schlapia of the top ones in 3A.” Walsh, along with sophomore Dalten Bierle, who also saw time on the 4x800 relay last season, will likely be the leaders of that relay team this year.

Seniors Seth Maitlen and Chris Foster, who both ran on the school record distance medley relay team last Maitlen year with Wolfe and Briley, provide experience

and leadership for Schlapia’s Panthers in the sprints.

“We have some experience mixed in with our newbies and young pups,” Schlapia said.

Newcomers

Eleven letterwinners return this year for the Panthers, but numbers are bolstered by 11 newcomers to the team.

Among those 11 newcomers are athletes who have succeeded at the highest level in other sports.

Junior Chase Shiltz is out for track for the first time after playing soccer his first two years of high s c h o o l . Shiltz Shiltz posted the fastest 100 and 200 meter times in time trials at 11.70 and 24.05 seconds.

Junior Kadon Hulett adds to a deep throwing group for the Panthers, but will also see some time on the track.

Hulett clocked the second-fastest 400 meter time

during time trials at 56.54 seconds.

“Kadon, that was a nice surprise when we were able to see what he could do in that open 400 time trial.

That Hulett opened some eyes and gives him a chance to run that 4x400,” Schlapia said. “Chase has been one of our top ones as far as sprinters. That’s going to open up some opportunities for us in the individual sprints and also to see what we can do with some of those sprint relays.”

Schlapia said Brody Frain, Cody Wagner, Walsh and Bierle have also shown promise in sprint and middle distance workouts.

In addition to the sprint events, Schlapia sees his team as being deep in the throwing events.

Sophomore Trevor Downing, who underwent knee surgery during wrestling season, and junior Cody Tanner are the top returning throwers

NV’s Lamb stars for SW Iowa in all-star championship Hawkeye 10 duo Juhl, Hawkins on all-tourney team

By LARRY PETERSON didn’t start the second CNA senior sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

GRIMES — Jackson Lamb says, in retrospect, he made the right decision.

When Nodaway Valley’s all-time leading scorer was selected for the Southwest Iowa team in the Iowa Basketball Coaches Association All-Star Games, the event’s schedule conflicted with his family’s planned spring break vacation in Colorado.

In the end, Lamb sided with Wolverine coach Darrell Burmeister’s encouragement to participate in the weekend series at Dallas Center-Grimes High School. Immediately after the final game Saturday evening, the family departed on their delayed venture to the Rocky Mountains.

“Coach B really wanted me to go and play,” Lamb said. “At first it was tough to choose. But it worked out that we could still go on vacation, and I was glad I was a part of it. I really liked it.

It’s fun to play with everyone who’s on such a high skill level.”

As it turned out, the southwest Iowa trio of Lamb, Kyle Juhl of Harlan and Ryan Hawkins of Atlantic became leaders of the Southwest Iowa “Maroon” team that won the championship of the boys tournament.

Juhl was named tournament MVP after scoring a team-high 24 points in the 128-98 opening victory over Southeast Iowa, and six points in the 103-85 win over Northwest Iowa in the championship game.

Hawkins and Lamb each joined Juhl on the all-tournament team from Southwest Iowa. Hawkins followed a six-point effort in the opener with 17 points in the title game.

Lamb was consistently productive for the Southwest Iowa squad. In the opening-round rout, he had 19 Lamb points including three 3-pointers and 2-of-2 at the free throw line.

In the final round, Lamb netted a team-high 18 points on three 2-point baskets and four 3-pointers.

“Our group (of five)

game, after our starters got an 8-2 lead, they (Northwest Iowa) caught up and went ahead,” Lamb said. “When our group came in for our five-minute interval, I made my first three threes and we got out ahead by 10 and kind of kept it there. Our team had equally talented (platoons) which helped us.

That seemed to be how we got out ahead of the other teams.”

Lamb enjoyed playing with Hawkeye 10 stars Hawkins and Juhl.

“Juhl was having a good day,” Lamb said. “He banked one in from the baseline and I told him, ‘You’re on fire!’ Hawkins is really good, he does all of the little things that help you win — rebounds, steals.”

Point guards on the Southwest Iowa team were Turner Scott of 4A state champion West Des Moines Valley, and Dontre English of Des Moines North.

Among the post players were Ted Brown of Dowling Catholic, who took a lob pass from Lamb late in the title game for a slam dunk.

Nolan Chapman of Treynor and Keaton Van Soelen of Des Moines Christian were a part of Lamb’s group.

“We had 10 guys and everyone played the same amount — half the game,” Lamb said.

Games were set up with 18-minute halves, so Southwest Iowa had a torrid scoring pace in notching 128 points in the opener and 103 in the final game.

“We had one practice on Monday for about two hours and we had two set plays,” Lamb said, “but we never really ended up doing them. We got out and ran.

We just played.”

Matt Carter of Southeast Polk and BJ Terrones of Gilbert were coaches of the Southwest Iowa championship team.

Kyle Wagner of IKM-Manning, which defeated Nodaway Valley in a Class 1A substate game, was a member of the Northwest Iowa team and won the 3-point shooting contest with a win in the finals over Iowa’s Mr. Basketball, Jordan Bohannon of LinnMar. Chapman and Trystan Cummins of Ankeny were Southwest Iowa’s representatives in the contest.

for the Panthers. Downing had the best throws during mark-offs in the preseason, throwing 41 feet, 9 inches in the shot put and 124-5 in the discus. Tanner had marks of 39-1 and 123-7.

Juniors Hulett, Colton Bolinger and Devon Peterson, along with freshmen Zac Hague, Trevor Kinyon and Hank Looney provide added depth in the throws. “(Assistant) coach Steve Birchard has been working with them,” Schlapia said.

“They’ve gotten a lot of good work in.”

Distance

M c Dermott leads the distance group for the Pant h e r s , looking to return to McDermott the state meet as an individual.

“We want to give him a chance to see what he can do in the 3,200 and 1,600,” Schlapia said about McDermott.

Hield, Arcidiacono take the long road to Final Four

By EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer

Jackson Lamb of Nodaway Valley launches a 3-point shot against Matt Pelzer of Tipton during Southwest Iowa’s 128-98 victory over Southeast Iowa at the Iowa Basketball Coaches Association All-Star Games Saturday at Dallas Center-Grimes High School. Lamb scored 19 points in the game and added 18 points in a 103-85 championship game win over Northwest Iowa. He was named to the all-tournament team.

Ryan Hawkins of Atlantic dunks for two points for Southwest Iowa in a 128-98 victory over Southeast Iowa at the IBCA All-Star Games Saturday. Hawkins was named to the all-tournament team after scoring 23 points in two games for Southwest Iowa.

Nobody in the NBA was knocking down Ryan Arcidiacono’s door when his junior season ended a year ago. Buddy Hield — that was a different story.

Arcidiacono stayed at Villanova because he had no other choice. Hield stayed at Oklahoma because he had unfinished business.

The guards, who lead their respective teams in very different ways, are each closing out their senior year at the top of their sport — with a trip to the Final Four.

“It’s four years of commitment to Villanova and to a program,” Arcidiacono said, when asked to describe his emotions as he sprinted in circles after the Wildcats defeated Kansas.

The Oklahoma-Villanova semifinal Saturday will pit a pair of No. 2 seeds who knocked off the top seeds in their regions to earn their trips to Houston.

The second semifinal will pit 10th-seeded Syracuse, only the fourth double-digit seed to make the Final Four, against North Carolina in an ACC rematch. The Tar Heels, who beat Notre Dame 88-74 to become the only top seed to make the Final Four, have already beaten the Orange twice this season.

“It means a lot,” said senior Brice Johnson, the team’s leading scorer and rebounder, whose first Final Four will be the program’s record 19th. “It took us four years to do this, but we’re finally there.”

Syracuse, a bubble team that many people didn’t think belonged in the tournament, finished its 68-62 win in the Midwest Regional over top-seeded Virginia on a 29-8 run.

“In my 40 years coaching basketball, I’ve never been prouder of a team,” said Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, leading the Orange to the Final Four for the fifth time.

The Sooners are back for the first time since 2002. Their semifinal against Villanova is a rematch of Oklahoma’s 78-55 win in December in Hawaii.

Oklahoma wouldn’t have reached this point without Hield, who has debunked any notion that an NBA prospect has nothing to gain by staying at school.

“We haven’t really given him much of a chance in that 3,200 before. I think he’s got a real strong shot just from what we saw from him this fall in cross country. I think he stacks up very well statewide.”

Senior Kyle Fenton and sophomores Dylan Linch, Trey Gift and Ben Bargstadt round out the distance crew.

Linch and Gift gained valuable experience in the 3,200 and 1,600 meters last year while McDermott was out with the ankle injury.

“The distance crew of Cooper, along with Dylan, Trey, Ben and Kyle has shown a lot of promise,” Schlapia said. “The middle distance events will be filled with a mixture of our sprinters and distance guys.”

Walsh, senior Travis Purdy and freshman Matthew Borha will see time at the 400 meter hurdles this season.

Wagner, Fenton, Foster,

Nathan Cox and Travontay Wright will fill in the jumping events for the Panthers.

Schlapia said he expects to mix and match his lineup throughout the early portion of the season to find what works the best for his team.

“We’ll use these first few meets to see what we have and put some of the puzzle together,” he said. “We’ll be trying things things differently from meet to meet here at the beginning.”

Within the Hawkeye 10 Conference, Schlapia expects Glenwood and Harlan to once again be strong, with Atlantic and Lewis Central also challenging.

“We’re going to compete,” Schlapia said. “We’ve got a mixture of a lot of boys that have been successful in other sports and also track, that we want to carry into each practice and each meet. We’ve had success and we want to continue.”

FINAL FOUR: CONT. FROM | 5A

He would’ve been a firstround pick had he left after last season, but has used Year 4 with the Sooners to get better at pretty much every facet of offense — ball-handling, footwork, creating shots and making them from longer range. He’s averaged 25.4 points a game this season. In four tournament games, including his 37-point effort in the win over Oregon, he has averaged 29.

That will pay off when the draft rolls around in June.

Hield said the feeling he had last March, when the Sooners fell to Michigan State in the

Sweet 16, is what brought him back.

“We had a bad taste in our mouth last spring, and we wanted to work hard,” Hield said. “As soon as we came back the next week, next day we were in the gym working out. Guys really wanted to get to this point.”

When it comes to shortcomings in March, though, nobody felt the pain more deeply than Arcidiacono and the Wildcats.

Villanova was a top seed last year and a No. 2 the year before — and didn’t make it out of the first weekend either time.

All worth it, said Arcidiacono, who averages 12 points

and four assists and was a coBig East Player of the Year last season.

A scrappy 6-foot-3 star at Neshaminy High School in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Arcidiacono grew up loving the Wildcats. He remembers watching Scottie Reynolds take the pass just behind midcourt and drive to the hoop for the buzzer-beating basket that sent Jay Wright’s team to its last Final Four, in 2009.

Arcidiacono had no visions of playing for Villanova, though.

“At that point in my life, I was just hoping to play basketball for fun and maybe get a scholarship,” he said.

“It was fun building relationships with the guys, and going out and scoring over 100 points each time,” Lamb said.

His next action on the court will take place for Briar Cliff University in Sioux City. Hawkins will play at Wayne State (Neb.) and Juhl is signed at University of Nebraska-Kearney.

Southwest Iowa placed second in the girls competition. The team included Paige Beacom of St. Albert, Zoey Dinkla of Adair-Casey, Jordyn Moser of Harlan and Callie Calfee of Bedford. Moser was named to the all-tournament team.

Calfee scored six points in the championship game and five points in an 81-64 win over Southeast Iowa in the first round.

Iowa JobWatch shows big bump in road in February IOWA CITY — A 6,200drop in jobs in February wiped out big gains in January as Iowa’s economy settled back into its overall sluggish job picture, according to new data released today by Iowa Workforce Development (IWD).

The unemployment rate stood at 3.7 percent in February, a significant one-month bump from 3.5 percent in January and the same level as in February 2015.

The Iowa Policy Project released the following statement from Executive Director Mike Owen about the new seasonally adjusted jobs data from IWD and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“After a strong January, a 6,200-job drop in February wiped out almost all the net gain. Only two job sectors showed gains for the month,” Owen said. “The combined January-February results show why it’s so important to take a step back and watch the longer-term trends. And

once again, we can see those trends for Iowa remain slow, with four monthly declines in the last year. We continue to be better off in terms of raw numbers than we have been throughout the recovery from the Great Recession, but the pace is very slow.”

Job growth The latest report gives the final determination on Gov. Terry Branstad’s goal for 200,000 new jobs in five years.

It shows job growth from January 2011 through January 2016 was considerably off the pace envisioned by the governor in 2010, when he set the goal. Iowa created just more than half the number needed – 104,500 – over those 60 months. Even by an alternate counting method promoted by the governor, leaving out selected job losses, the performance was well short – 184,000. Over that time, Iowa would have needed to add about 3,300 jobs a month, but instead averaged about 1,700.

World-class puppetry coming to Warren Cultural Center GREENFIELD – The marionettes of Joseph Cashore are unmatched in artistry, grace and refinement of movement. This moving and humorous performance, entitled Life in Motion, has astounded audiences in Europe, the Far East and across North America, including stops at the Kennedy Center and other nationally known venues.

The show is a series of scenes taken from everyday life set to beautiful classical music that takes an audience on a journey celebrating the richness of life. It is best appreciated by older children and adults.

The show will be 7 p.m.

Tuesday, April 19, and is the part of the Warren Cultural Center’s Premier Performance Series, which brings nationally touring acts to Greenfield. Tickets for the show are now on sale at www.warrenculturalcenter. com, at Ed & Eva’s, 154 Public Square, in Greenfield, or by calling 641-7432566.

Cashore has received numerous awards based on his artistic accomplishment, including the highest honor an American puppeteer can

receive, a Union Internationale de la Marionnette (UNIMA) Citation of Excellence from International Puppetry Association. UNIMA states citations are “awarded to shows that touch their audiences deeply; that totally engage, enchant and enthrall.”

In addition to the public performance, Cashore will present a lecture demonstration for local students. This educational programming and public performance are made possible through sponsorships by Adair County Abstract Co., Adair County Farm Bureau and Farm Bureau Financial Services, Adair County Health Systems, First National Bank, Greenfield Fareway, Greenfield Rehabilitation and Healthcare, Havens Accounting, Clint Hight PC, the Iowa Arts Council, Olesen Law Firm, Pro Team Insurance, Jensen Law Office, Southwestern Community College, Stalker Chevrolet, Taylor Financial, Union State Bank and Branam Lawn Care, with additional support from the Empowering Adair County Foundation.The marionettes of Joseph Cashore
