World Autism Day, designated by United Nations general assembly, falls on Saturday, the same day as the local autism awareness puzzle walk and 5K starting at 2:45 p.m. at Creston High School, 601 W.

ing the walk and this is our fourth year raising awareness for autism.”

Hicks is also a co-chair for the Southwest Iowa Autism Society program committee and works with children with autism through GHAEA. “I’m a speech pathologist by degree and was invited to become a member of the autism team at Green Hills around 1990, so I’ve been at it for a long time,” Hicks said. “I’ve always had a passion to help kids with autism. That’s an important part of autism, that communication component and social skills.”

IOWA CITY (AP) — One is a sex offender who failed to register. Another stabbed a fellow teen to death in the 1970s. A third illegally possessed a firearm, and the other two have drug convictions.

All five northeastern Iowa residents are charged with illegally voting in the 2012 presidential election as ineligible felons. But the Iowa Supreme Court will consider which offenders lose their voting rights in the first place: all felons or only a tiny fraction who commit specific “infamous crimes”?

While the five defendants are not directly involved in the case, they would benefit from a ruling that narrowly limits the crimes that trigger voting bans. Oral arguments are scheduled for Wednesday in Des Moines, and a decision could come within weeks.

The case has gained widespread attention because Iowa is one of three states — with Kentucky and Florida — with lifetime voting bans for felons unless their rights are restored by the governor.

Critics say it’s a stain on the state’s progressive civil rights record and disproportionately limits blacks from voting and holding public office.

At issue is the definition of wording in the Iowa Constitution that strips anyone convicted of an “infamous crime” of their voting rights.

For 100 years, the court interpreted that to mean all felons and anyone convicted of aggravated misdemeanors, which carry potential prison time.

But the high court threw out that precedent in 2014 by ruling that no misdemeanor offenders lose their voting FELONS | 2A

Campaign manager for Trump charged with simple battery FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Police charged Donald Trump’s campaign manager with simple battery Tuesday as a videotaped altercation with a reporter transformed what was another messy campaign sideshow into a criminal court Trump summons.

Trump decried the charges.

Jupiter, Florida, police determined that probable cause existed to file a criminal complaint against the Republican front-runner’s most trusted political adviser, Corey Lewandowski, for an altercation that took place after a campaign appearance earlier in the month. Police on Tuesday morning issued Lewandowski a notice to appear before a judge on May 4 for the misdemeanor charge, which carries

up to a year in jail.

The unexpected development injects a court battle into an already contentious Republican primary season just a week before a highstakes election in Wisconsin.

It came on a day that all five presidential contenders campaigned in the state, overshadowing Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s endorsement of Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders’ push to narrow Hillary Clinton’s delegate lead.

Speaking to reporters on his airplane in Wisconsin on Tuesday, Trump vowed to stand by his campaign manager and lashed out at the young female reporter who conveyed the incident to police.

“How do you know those bruises weren’t there before?” the New York businessman charged.

“I’m not going to let a person’s life be destroyed,” Trump said of Lewandowski.

for autism, which is a neurodevelopmental disorder.

Disorders on the autism spectrum are characterized by a variety of signs, but a common sign is underdevelopment in social communication and interaction. These symptoms usually begin in early childhood.

There is no known specific cause of any of the autism disorders. However, research has been done that looks at lineage, environment and neuroabnormalities as possible causes.

Local activites put on by the Southwest Iowa Autism of Iowa program committee include sensory-friendly movies, family-need scholarships, family navigation and information packets and social skills club for youth.

“I would say an inspirational moment is just watching the camaraderie,” Hicks said. “Just the excitement of seeing everyone dressed alike and supporting an event that supports autism awareness. It’s a cool thing.”

Celebration of life memorial services will be 2 p.m.

Saturday, April 2, at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 1000 Cottonwood Road, in Creston. Memorials are to be determined. Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

The Autism Society of Iowa’s puzzle walk and 5K cost is $20 for adults and $10 for children age 12 and younger.

About 300 people attended the event in 2015, and Hicks expects more on Saturday.

“We’ve got 202 registered online right now, plus over 25 volunteers, and we’ll probably have 50 to 100 walk-in registrations,” Hicks said.

Registration and T-shirt pickup is scheduled at 2:45 p.m. The 5K will start at 3:30 p.m., immediately after a welcome by committee members. Walkers will begin after the runners.

Family-friendly activites are scheduled during the event, and music will be provided.

Lady Antebellum, Kelsea Ballerini selected for 2016 Iowa State Fair These two acts will perform Sunday, Aug. 21, on the Grandstand.

Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Saturday, April 16, and cost $65, $55 and $40.

■

DES MOINES — Lady Antebellum and special guest Kelsea Ballerini will be part of the 2016 Iowa State Fair Grandstand concert series sponsored by U.S. Cellular at 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 21. Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Saturday, April 16, and costs are $65, $55 and $40.

In less than a decade, seven-time Grammy award-winning trio Lady Antebellum has sold more than 11 million albums worldwide and produced six platinum hits, including “I Run to You,” “Need You Now” and “Just a Kiss.” Their most recent platinum hit, “Bartender,” climbed to number one after an impressive 12 weeks on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart.

Country singer and songwriter Kelsea Ballerini’s debut single, “Love Me Like You Mean It,” was released in 2014 and slowly became a hit, reaching number five on Billboard’s Country Singles Chart and number one on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart.

She is currently celebrating the success of her first album, “The First Time,” which debuted at number four on Billboard’s U.S. Country Charts and on the Billboard Top 200.

New this year, the Iowa State Fair will be staggering on-sale dates for all Grandstand shows during the months of February through May, instead of a one-time on-sale date in April. All shows will be announced via e-newsletter, social media and news releases once they are finalized and the shows will go on-sale shortly after each announce date. Also new this year, ticket prices will vary depending on location of seats in the Grandstand.

Information on individual concerts will be available at iowastatefair.org/onstage/grandstand/ as acts are announced.

Tickets will go on sale through all Ticketmaster outlets, online at Ticketmaster.com or by phone at 800-745-3000. All concert events are reserved seating.

Beginning July 5, the fair’s ticket office will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday for walk-up orders only (assuming tickets remain; no mail, phone or fax orders). Convenience charges will apply to all tickets. Grandstand tickets do not include fair admission. Gate admission must be purchased separately.

rights. Justices split over whether the “infamous crimes” provision disenfranchises all felons — as defined by lawmakers — or only those who would undermine the integrity of elections if they were allowed to participate, such as people convicted of election fraud, bribery and perjury.

The new case, brought by former drug offender Kelli Jo Griffin, is expected to clear that up. The ACLU is representing Griffin, who was acquitted of perjury after being charged with illegally voting in an uncontested municipal election.

Griffin argues her crime wasn’t infamous.

Civil rights activists are

CHARGE: CONT. FROM | 1A

“No jury, in my opinion, would convict a man and destroy a man’s life over what you witnessed.”

Police charged Lewandowski after reviewing a surveillance video of the incident, obtained from security at the Trump-owned property. Police determined the video shows Lewandowski grabbing Michelle Fields, who worked for Breitbart News at the time, as she tried to ask Trump a question after a March 8 appearance.

The Trump campaign said Lewandowski would plead not guilty and “is completely confident that he will be exonerated.”

Trump on Tuesday reversed a previous position that the incident never happened, suggesting instead that Lewandowski was trying to block Fields from “grabbing and asking questions.”

“She was grabbing me.

Does that mean I’m supposed to file charges against her?” Trump told reporters.

He said Fields exaggerated her original statement that Lewandowski “grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down.”

The video appears to show him yanking her backward.

At a campaign rally later Tuesday, Trump read

urging justices to rule that Griffin and thousands of similar ex-offenders can vote without fear of prosecution. The state’s database of ineligible felons includes 57,000 people.

The stakes are high for the five defendants from Waterloo, a city 110 miles northeast of Des Moines, four of whom are African-American. They’re set to stand trial next month on election misconduct charges after nearly 2 years of delays.

The Black Hawk County Attorney’s Office filed the charges in January 2014 as part of a heavily criticized voter fraud investigation by then-Secretary of State Matt Schultz, a Republican. The NAACP and other activists lobbied prosecutors to drop the cases, but were rebuffed.

Prosecutors continued to pur-

sue them even after the state Supreme Court’s 2014 ruling threw the state’s blanket felon voting ban into doubt.

If convicted, the five men face up to five years in prison. Defense attorney Aaron Hawbaker said each trial will hinge on whether defendants knowingly voted illegally as prosecutors must prove or thought they were eligible.

“This prosecution is one of those political things where somebody wants to flex some muscle and show off,” said community activist David Goodson, who is friends with two defendants and told prosecutors they made innocent mistakes after being assured by others they could vote.

Elections officials allowed them to vote because their precincts, unlike others in the county, didn’t have elec-

tronic systems to check felon eligibility when they registered. Fifteen other felons were identified at county precincts before voting and weren’t prosecuted.

The first defendant, sex offender Harold Redd Jr., is scheduled to stand trial next week. The others — juvenile killer Robert Earl Anthony, drug convicts Ricco Cooper and Rose Lee Wilder and felon gun owner Glen Tank — have April 12 trial dates.

County Auditor Grant Veeder said the disparity in polling place technology hasn’t been fixed. He said wthe criminal cases were “unfortunate” but declined to say whether they should be dropped.

“It’s difficult for me to determine fair and unfair under the current law,” he said.

Fields’ account of the incident aloud. “Maybe he touched (her) a little bit, but I didn’t see,” Trump told the crowd. “It was almost like he was trying to keep her off me, right?”

It’s unclear what impact, if any, the news will have on Trump’s march toward his party’s presidential nomination. Critics cast it as another example of why the brash billionaire would struggle to attract women in a prospective race against Clinton, the Democratic front-runner.

“What Donald Trump has been doing over these last months is inciting violent behavior, aggressive behavior that I think is very dangerous and has resulted in attacks on people at his events including this charge that has now been brought against his campaign manager,” Clinton said in La Crosse, Wisconsin. “I think ultimately the responsibility is Mr. Trump’s.”

The New York businessman’s Republican rivals also seized on the news, which comes a week before a Wisconsin primary contest that could give Trump an insurmountable delegate lead or give his opponents new hope of a contested national convention.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said the incident is “the consequence of the culture of the Trump campaign — the abusive culture when

you have a campaign that is built on personal insults, on attacks and now physical violence.”

Ohio Gov. John Kasich said he “probably would suspend somebody” depending on the evidence available.

“When we see things that we think are inappropriate, we take action and that’s what I would do,” Kasich said.

The incident fueled fresh attacks by anti-Trump groups, who have already called out the billionaire for failing to quell violence at his public appearances.

Our Principles PAC has been airing an ad featuring news clips of violence at Trump rallies and playing audio of the GOP front-runner saying of a protester, “I’d like to punch him in the face.”

The same ad includes images of Fields’ bruised arm.

“The police in Jupiter, Florida, have clearly seen what Donald Trump refuses to acknowledge: his campaign manager battered a woman and caused serious bruising,” said Our Principles PAC leader Katie Packer.

In the days after the alleged assault, Trump told CNN that the incident was probably “made up.” Campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks went further at the time, charging in a statement that “not a single camera or reporter of more than 100 in attendance captured the alleged incident.”

Lewandowski has retained a Florida attorney who said Tuesday there would be no further comment.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, March 30, 2016

Horror persists, from Brussels to Cuba ISIS militants attacked a European city this week, setting off three bombs in Brussels that killed 31 and injured 260. In the United States, the response was immediate, first with the outpouring of support from the public, then, unsurprisingly, with a flurry of bellicose pronouncements from most of the remaining major-party presidential candidates.

The violence overshadowed what might well be one of the most enduring and significant accomplishments of the Obama presidency: the reopening of relations with Cuba, cemented when he became the first president in 88 years to visit the island nation.

After the bombings in Brussels, Republican candidate Ted Cruz said, “We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.” Donald Trump told NBC regarding Salah Abdeslam, the suspect in the November Paris massacre who was captured in Brussels last Friday, “If

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

they could expand the laws, I would do a lot more than waterboarding.”

On CNN, Trump said, “He may be talking, but he’ll talk faster with the torture.” Give Trump credit for calling it what it is, torture. But actually advocating for torture?

Speaking from Brussels, writer Frank Barat, president of the Palestine Legal Action Network, told us on the “Democracy Now!” news hour, “We either continue the eyefor-an-eye, tooth-for-a-tooth war and more revenge-type of things that have led to nothing but more terrorism on the ground ... or we decide to stop and start to ask the tough questions that need to be answered.” Barat continued: “It came out of radicalization through what’s happening in Syria, which is actually key to understand the cre-

ation of ISIS. What’s happened in Syria in the last few years is a total betrayal, on the part of the Western world. People rising to fight its oppressor and the West sort of turning its back on them, allowing slaughter, this created so much anger, so much rancor.”

Barat went on, “When you put this on top of the failure of U.S. foreign policy and U.S. imperialism, when you put this on top of the sort of ambitions of the West in terms of oil, in terms of trade routes and in terms of supporting dictators and Israel, it creates a powerful and very dangerous mixture that then manifests in the form of ISIS or al-Qaida or any other terrorist organizations.”

He suggested an alternate response: “In Norway, after the attacks of Anders Breivik in 2011, which killed more than 70 people, the prime minister of Norway said that Norway’s response to terror would be more openness, greater political participation and more democracy.

It’s words we don’t hear nowadays.”

Across the Atlantic, President

Barack Obama was making history with his state visit to Cuba. In a public address, he said, “I have come here to bury the last remnant of the Cold War in the Americas.” Yet the official embargo against Cuba remains in place until the intransigent U.S. Congress votes to end it.

President Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro held a joint news conference on Monday. “We continue, as President Castro indicated, to have some very serious differences, including on democracy and human rights,” Obama said.

What kind of alternative does the United States show Cubans on that corner of their island, Guantanamo Bay, that the U.S. controls? There, the U.S government maintains its hellish military prison beyond the reach of U.S. laws, where hundreds of men have been held, most without charge, and many beaten and tortured. Ninety-one remain there.

Thirty-six have long been cleared for release.

On Wednesday, the House Armed Services Committee held a hearing

on the closure of the prison at Guantanamo Bay. Maj. Gen. Michael R. Lehnert, USMC (Ret.), submitted a statement. He was the officer tasked with building the current prison. He ran it for its first 100 days, and received its first prisoners. “Guantanamo was a mistake,” Lehnert wrote.

“History will reflect that. It was created in the early days as a consequence of fear, anger and political expediency. It ignored centuries of rule of law and international agreements. It does not make us safer, and it sullies who we are as a nation. That in over a decade we have failed to acknowledge the mistake and change course is unforgivable and ignorant.”

The horror in Brussels is unforgivable. Few can deny, though, that some of the worst policies of the U.S. and its allies serve as recruitment tools for ISIS and other groups. We need a uniform standard of justice.

We can start by closing Guantanamo, and ensuring that torture is permanently purged from the policy prescriptions of those who would be president.

‘Batman vs. Superman’ enjoys record opening HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce warned that L.A. businesses are struggling under the weight of high taxes and onerous regulations. There was a sign of an approaching recession in Beverly Hills last night. A woman was spotted on Rodeo Drive with real breasts and a fake Gucci bag.

“Batman vs. Superman” enjoyed a record two hundred million dollar opening. The plot has the super-heroes team up to battle a deranged billionaire who wants to take over the world. It says a lot about the mood of the electorate when audience after audience cheers for the deranged billionaire.

George Clooney will host a fundraiser for the Hillary Clinton campaign at his Beverly Hills home in two weeks. The show business crowd is strictly pro-Democratic.

Republicans haven’t enjoyed the support of the entertainment industry ever since Abe Lincoln’s second term ended in an actor’s strike.

Ted Cruz while defending his wife’s honor Friday was caught lifting entire passages from the movie An American President, using the exact same lines which Michael Douglas uses defending the honor of his girlfriend. How hapless does it look? Ted Cruz’s five mistresses just endorsed Trump.

The National Enquirer said they are investigating reports that Ted Cruz has five extra-marital affairs going on now. It seemed very se-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

lective. The tabloids would never investigate Bernie Sanders for having five mistresses, because all the telephone numbers in his little black book are for urologists.

Bernie Sanders was delivering a speech to an outdoor rally in Portland Saturday when a bird known as a Pine Sisken landed on his podium and stayed there for thirty seconds. It’s the kind of finch that commonly dines on bird feeders. It knows the promise of a free lunch when it hears one.

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz revealed plans to woo the delegates at the GOP convention in July. It won’t be close. When you have ten billion dollars and the cell phone numbers of ten years of Miss USA contestants and you want to woo the delegates, an autographed Bible just won’t compete.

USA Today reports there’s a petition now circulating to allow GOP delegates to carry guns while they’re in the Republican Convention in Cleveland in July. It’s not what the organizers had in mind.

If they wanted guns at the Republican Convention, they’d have had held it at Chicago.

President Obama was reported Monday making plans for his farewell tour of Western Europe this coming month. He’s certain to

be honored there. If the Germans named a passenger blimp after President Obama, by the time it crashed and burned it could restore the good name of Hindenburg.

Hillary Clinton touted her foreign policy experience to Los Angeles donors over the weekend as she attended fundraisers in L.A. Her foreign policy experience began as First Lady on trips to the Balkans. We all forget that Bill Clinton was a wartime president if you count marriage counseling.

Capitol Hill Police took down a shooter who’d entered the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center Monday in Washington D.C., however officials say the attack is not believed to be terror-related. The FBI is confident that our enemies will never trouble Washington. They wouldn’t want to end the confusion.

Glamour magazine ran a nationwide poll to monitor the effectiveness of online dating websites in finding mates. The response was overwhelming. The poll says that twelve percent of Americans said they met their spouse online and eighty-eight percent said they met someone else’s spouse online.

The Coast Guard intercepted a mini-sub off the coast of Texas carrying five and a half tons of cocaine Friday. However when the feds boarded the sub, it flipped over and all the cocaine spilled onto the ocean floor. Charlie Sheen called it the biggest disaster at sea since the sinking of the Titanic.

ISU Extension and Outreach Week slated The Union County Extension office is honoring ISU Extension and Outreach Week this week. From March 27 to April 2, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will celebrate the land-grant mission of putting the university’s research and resources to work throughout the state of Iowa.

“ISU Extension and Outreach harnesses the resources of our university for communities and farmers to thrive, for families and children to be healthy and eventually to turn the world over to the next generation better than we found it. Because what we all want is a strong Iowa,” said Cathann Kress, Iowa State University vice president for extension and outreach.

“Education and partnerships are how we solve problems and prepare for the future,” Kress said. “However, our work isn’t just about creating access to education, our work is about people. ISU Extension and Outreach Week is one way we say ‘thank you’ to the many volunteers, community leaders, organizations,

B&B

agencies and other partners who support ISU Extension and Outreach as we work together to build a strong Iowa.”

ISU Extension and Outreach extends the university’s resources geographically with offices and staff serving every county. ISU Extension and Outreach educational programs cover the entire lifespan, from Iowa’s youngest to oldest residents.

“4-H is the largest youth organization in the nation and is what a lot of people associate with their extension office, especially in Union County with our current 4-H enrollment surpassing 250 fourth through 12th graders,” said Haley Jones, Union County Youth and Outreach coordinator. “However, our extension office offers much more than just the 4-H program, we offer county wide programs including Annie’s Project, LIFE, STEM, summer day camps and more. We are your source and location for pesticide and manure applicator training and certification. You can come to our office with questions about crops, gardens,

cooking, canning, food safety and everything in between.”

In addition, the Union County office houses a local child and adult food care program. This program reimburses money to registered daycare providers who serve healthy meals and snacks to the children in their care. The program also provides nutritional, physical and child development education.

ISU Extension and Outreach is a statewide educational network supported by Iowa State University, local county governments and the United States Department of Agriculture. Every county in Iowa has an elected extension council that decides how to support ISU Extension and Outreach educational programs at the county level.

The Union County office staff includes Haley Jones, county uouth and outreach coordinator; Marlene Wyer, child and adult food care program; Linda Hewitt, child and adult food care program assistant; Carol LaFaver, region 18 director and Tracy Kelley, office assistant.

Potato salad made easier Dear Heloise: A while back, I was asked to make a large amount of POTATO SALAD, enough for 20-25 people. I dreaded the task of cutting up all those potatoes.

I tried using my french-fry maker, the type you push down over the potato. It worked great. I finished the potatoes in just a few minutes. I went on to cut the eggs with it and had those done shortly. I figured, why not try the onions? It worked great as well, but I needed to break the onion stacks apart.

By the way, I cooked the potatoes with the skins on and then was able to peel them much faster, with less waste. — June M. in North Dakota Potato salad is perfect for a large amount of people; this hint will certainly help my readers. Thanks! — Heloise CINNAMON COFFEE Dear Heloise: I like to put cinnamon in my coffee while I am brewing it. But this is very difficult if you have a single-cup coffee machine.

Here is how I solved my problem: After I put the pod into the machine and close

Hints from Heloise the top, I open the top again — the machine makes a hole in the pod. I take a fine straw, dip it into a container of cinnamon and put the straw into the little hole that was made in the pod. Then I blow into the straw, and the cinnamon goes into the pod.

When the coffee is brewed, I have cinnamon-flavored coffee. — Andrea S., Irvine, Calif.

What a clever hint! These single-cup coffee machines are so popular, and any money-saving hint helps! Coffees and teas, hot or iced, are yummy drinks year-round.

After placing the chili in zipper-top freezer bags and closing, I placed the bags in a bowl of ice cubes and water for a few minutes to cool. I laid the bags flat on a cookie sheet or pizza pan in the freezer until frozen.

The chili cooled quicker, and it made getting out of the kitchen quicker. — Sandy in Mississippi MELON BALLER BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker Dear Heloise: Your melon baller has more uses than just for melons.

Straight NCAA Tournament wins for the UConn women’s basketball team.

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

National Digest

All-Americans Iowa State’s Georges Niang picked up another All-America honor on Tuesday, this a second-team selection from the Associated Press.

Niang is Iowa State’s first two-time AP All-American.

Niang was a third-team selection a year ago and wrapped up his career by averaging 20.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.

He scored in double figures in all 35 games and scored 20 or more 17 times.

Iowa’s Jarrod Uthoff was a third team selection.

First team —Denzel Valentine, Michigan State; Buddy Hield, Oklahoma; Tyler Ulis, Kentucky; Brice Johnson, North Carolina; Malcolm Brogdon, Virginia.

Second team —Jakob Poeltl, Utah; Perry Ellis, Kansas; Ben Simmons, LSU; Kris Dunn, Providence; Georges Niang, Iowa State.

Third team — Yogi Ferrell, Indiana; Grayson Allen, Duke; Jarrod Uthoff, Iowa; Kay Felder, Oakland; Jamal Murray, Kentucky.

U.S. wins COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — American soccer fans fretted for four days: If the United States lost to Guatemala once again, the U.S. would have little chance to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Their worries quickly vanished Tuesday night.

Clint Dempsey scored 12 minutes in, Geoff Cameron, Graham Zusi and Jozy Altidore added goals and the U.S. routed Guatemala 4-0 to get back on track.

“I thought we showed a lot of heart,” Dempsey said. “We showed a lot of character by dealing with a pressure situation.”

Following a dismal 2-0 loss at Guatemala City on Friday night in which Jurgen Klinsmann deployed several players out of their most comfortable positions, the U.S. coach made five lineup changes and shifted two others into their more usual spots. The Americans responded and improved to 27-0-2 at home in qualifying since 2001, including 7-0-2 at Mapfre Stadium.

Going pro LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas guard Wayne Selden Jr. is skipping his senior season to enter the NBA draft.

Selden and Jayhawks coach Bill Self announced his decision in a statement Tuesday, three days after a season-ending loss to Villanova in the NCAA Tournament.

Selden plans to hire representation in the coming weeks, which means he won’t be able to pull his name out of the draft.

Selden averaged 13.8 points this past season, helping the Jayhawks win their 12th consecutive Big 12 championship. He shot 47 percent from the field and 39 percent from beyond the arc.

Harvey OK PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — New York Mets ace Matt Harvey remains on track to start Sunday night’s opener at Kansas City after passing a blood clot in his bladder.

“I guess it started with a bladder infection that created a blood clot in the bladder,” Harvey said.

Southwestern shortstop Samuel Vega prepares to field a throw from first baseman Jake Duren during Monday’s second game against Iowa Lakes. Vega made the pivot to third baseman Victor Perez for a double play during the Spartans’ 7-3 victory. Iowa Lakes won the opener, 10-0, in six innings.

Marshalltown bangs out sweep of Spartans

By LARRY PETERSON best arms out there today had a five-run inning to get CNA senior sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

MARSHALLTOWN — The Southwestern baseball team dodged a dismal forecast for Wednesday, but couldn’t avoid damage inflicted by the Marshalltown Community College bats in a nonconference doubleheader Tuesday.

Marshalltown, a Division I team in the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference, was scheduled to host Division II Southwestern Wednesday. With rain in the forecast, the twinbill was moved up a day, right after the Spartans split a league doubleheader with Iowa Lakes.

Marshalltown pulled away late to win the first game, 13-9, before winning the second game in an 8-0 shutout.

“They hadn’t played in awhile, so they had their

with some (professional) scouts there watching,” Spartan coach Pedro Hernandez said. “In the first game they had a lefty throwing 92 (mph), in the second game a lefty at 91 and a righty at 90. Even though we didn’t get the results we wanted, our guys were facing really good competition and gave really good effort. We hope that helps us this weekend.”

The Spartans take a 2-2 league record and 7-19 overall mark into home doubleheaders Saturday and Sunday against Division II league leader Kirkwood (4-0, 17-8).

Rickey Hernandez started on the mound for Southwestern in Tuesday’s opener and the Spartans staged a late rally to make it competitive.

“We were losing by six runs in the sixth, and then

within one run,” Hernandez said. “The next inning they hit a home run and scored four runs. We got one back, but not enough.”

Shortstop Samuel Vega was 3-of-4 with three stolen bases. Victor Perez had two hits and Jared Heman hit a home Heman run and single for the Spartans.

Former Twin Cedars prep Drew Carlson started for the Spartans in game two. It was a 4-0 game until the Tigers unleashed three home runs in the bottom of the sixth.

“The wind was blowing out and they got some big hits,” Hernandez said.

Declassified NHL memos, e-mails detail concussion debate

By DAVE CAMPBELL thread between Bettman stance has not changed from and JOHN WAWROW and Brendan Shanahan, who Bettman’s comments from AP Sports Writers

Unsealed NHL documents in the concussion lawsuit brought by former players reveal a snapshot of an internal debate by league officials over head injuries and a deeper concern about the impact of fighting than what had been publicly shared.

In some emails, among the 298 documents recently declassified in the case by U.S. Magistrate Judge Janie Mayeron, Commissioner Gary Bettman’s tone comes across as defensive regarding criticism directed at the league for its handling of player safety and the fighting culture that has existed on the ice for decades.

Other exchanges, however, suggested an NHL leadership that’s conflicted over a complicated issue.

In a January 2009 exchange between senior vice president Colin Campbell and Canadian TV broadcast reporter Bob McKenzie, Campbell said he might go public with a recommendation that the NHL get rid of fighting or at least attempt to reduce it.

In a September 2011

succeeded Campbell as the league’s disciplinarian, Bettman told Shanahan that his comments to CBC-TV revealing the league was scrutinizing fighting “went too far.” Bettman called the situation “sensitive territory,” citing the need to be “very careful.”

The material was obtained

by The Associated Press from counsel for the plaintiffs and first reported by Canadian sports network TSN. More than 100 former NHL players have joined the class-action lawsuit against the league, alleging it had the resources to better prevent head trauma, failed to properly warn players of such risks and promoted violent play that led to their injuries.

The plaintiffs’ primary request is medical monitoring for the roughly 4,800 living former players, plus additional unspecified relief. The 133-page master complaint is packed with anecdotes of former players suffering from a variety of neurodegenerative conditions they’ve tied to hits to the head they experienced on the ice.

Spokesman Frank Brown said Tuesday the league’s

Jan. 30 during an All-Star game weekend news conference.

“The selective released leaking of documents out of context may cause some people to scratch their heads, a couple of other people maybe to for a brief moment be a little embarrassed about salty language or the like.

But I’m very comfortable with our record,” Bettman said then.

“I think in terms of us doing our business on an ongoing basis and the fact that we have the league to run, I’d prefer these things not be public. They’ll be a distraction at best, but I don’t think they impact the rest of the case.”

The unsealed material showed a pattern of attention by the league to media coverage of concussions. In one email exchange with NBC Sports executive Sam Flood in March 2007, Bettman said he was annoyed over then-broadcaster Brett Hull criticizing the league for eliminating fighting.

The declassified documents also indicated an increased focus by NHL officials on NHL | 10A

GLENWOOD — Creston head girls track coach Clay Arnold saw one giant positive here Tuesday at the Hawkeye 10 Conference Southern Division Meet.

His sprint crew had its best early-season performance in his six years of coaching the Panthers.

The Panther sprinters were solid up and down the lineup, helping Creston to a third-place finish at the outdoor season opener.

Creston scored 68 points, finishing behind Glenwood (157.5) and Shenandoah (97).

“Definitely the best early-season sprinting corps we’ve ever had,” Arnold said. “This time of year we usually don’t have our sprinters going so well, but this year I was pretty impressed with most of our sprinting corps. Turned in some good times. That was a real positive sign.”

One of the leaders for the Panthers in that regard was senior Amber Castillo.

Castillo ran a solid 28.93-seco n d leadoff 200-meter leg on Creston’s winning distance medley re- A. Castillo lay. Josie Sickels, Rachel Shepherd and freshman Brielle Baker, who held off a charge from Glenwood

anchor Lacey Jackson, rounded out the winning relay.

Castillo came back and ran 17.00 seconds for second place in the 100 hurdles.

“Amber was excellent in the 100 hurdles,” Arnold said. “Looked really good.

Amber had a real big night all the way around again.”

She ran the 200-meter leg on the second-place sprint medley relay for the Panthers. The team of Kiersten Latham, Cayla Maitlen, Castillo and Josie Sickels lost in a close battle with Glenwood, coming up .07 seconds short of the victory.

The 4x100 relay team of Shepherd, Josie Sickels, Castillo and Jessica Beatty turned in a third-place finish in 55.16.

Creston’s 4x200 relay team of Stephanie Hemsworth, Josie Sickels, Taylor Briley and Baker finished runner-up and improved by 2.5 seconds from Saturday’s time, running 1:55.77.

The Panthers ran two 4x400 relay teams, with the team of Saige Rice, Jesse Vicker, Maitlen and Latham finished second with its time of 4:35.34, while the team of Jami Sickels, Hemsworth, Lexie Little and Danielle Castillo finished fifth in 4:40.48.

Creston put five girls in the top 10 of the 100 meter dash, led by Maitlen’s fourthplace finish in 14.11 seconds.

McDermott wins double gold at H-10 opener

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

GLENWOOD — Creston senior distance runner Cooper McDermott kicked off the 2016 season with a double-gold performance here Tuesday at the Hawkeye 10 Conference Southern Division Meet.

McDermott battled strong winds to sweep the distance r a c e s , winning the 3,200 meters by 12 sec- McDermott onds with his time of 11:07.31. He came back later in the meet to win the 1,600 meters in 4:59.54, cruising to a 24-second victory.

“With the strong winds we had, that wasn’t real conducive to the time we wanted to shoot for,” Creston head boys coach Pat Schlapia said. “We looked at it as go for the win. The challenge was to keep going with it and try to lap people.”

Senior Nick Walsh and s o p h o m o r e Dalten Bierle also had strong placings in the 800 meters, finishing Walsh third and fourth in 2:17.24 and 2:18.07, respectively.

The Panther duo finished behind Glenwood’s onetwo punch of Andrew Blum (2:11.18) and Seth Little (2:14.46), who have each already competed in indoor meets this year.

“That was a very competitive open 800 with Nick and Dalten,” Schlapia said.

“Blum and Little, those guys have had a couple of indoor meets. They, along with Kyle Fenton, got off to a 64 opener and Dalten was at 66. Conditioning will play a big part on finishing.

The last 400 they kind of gassed out a bit.”

Sophomore Trevor Downing earned a thirdplace finish in the shot put with his heave of 42 feet, Downing 3 inches.

Three other Panthers threw better than 37-5.50, with Colton Bolinger, Cody Tanner and Kadon Hulett all eclipsing that distance.

Bolinger led the Panther throwers in the discus throw with his fifth-place throw of 114-2. Downing placed sixth with a throw of 113-3.

“Having seven guys throwing for those top spots, there’s some competition,” Schlapia said. “It’s nice to see them get out and working real well with coach (Steve) Birchard.

They were very competitive with each other. Trevor had a good opening throw, just 4 inches off of second place (in the shot put).”

Creston’s 4x400 relay team of Brody Frain, McDermott, Kadon Hulett and Walsh finished third in 3:51.89.

The 4x200 relay team of Chris Foster, Frain, Seth Maitlen and Chase Shiltz finished fourth in 1:39.63, while the 4x100 relay team of Foster, Cody Wagner, Maitlen and Shiltz was fifth BOYS | 9A

GIRLS:

11, bettering her previous best by 11 inches.

Junior Hannah Hood finished second in the shot put competition with her mark of 38-0.50.

Hemsworth tied her PR in the long jump, leaping 13-9 for fifth place, while Maitlen improved her PR by better than 2 feet for a seventh-place finish.

“Throwers were good.

Baker was good,” Arnold said. “The good news is we got an outdoor meet under our belt. The best news is everyone was in competition tonight. We hadn’t been lucky enough to have that in indoor.”

Djokovic reaches quarterfinals at Miami Open, 6-3, 6-4

By TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) — Novak Djokovic rolled his eyes after a backhand found the net, shrugged after an early barrage of errors and even heard the crowd at times pulling for his opponent.

None of it wound up mattering. Even when not at his sharpest, Djokovic is nearly impossible to beat.

Looking for his fifth title on Key Biscayne in six years, the world’s top player reached the quarterfinals Tuesday with a 6-3, 6-4 win over 14th-seeded Dominic Thiem of Austria.

Djokovic will meet seventh-seeded Tomas Berdych — who grinded out a three-set win over 10th-seeded Richard Gasquet of France — in the Miami Open semifinals.

“It was far from easy,” said Djokovic, who survived nine double-faults. “I struggled a lot.”

Djokovic moved to 25-1 on the year, 27-1 in his past 28 matches on Key Biscayne. The Serbian star also moved a step closer to becoming the tournament’s first back-to-back-to-back winner since Andre Agassi in 2001, 2002 and 2003.

He fended off 14 of the 15 break points he faced and hasn’t dropped a set so far in the tournament.

“That’s a positive, in a way,” Djokovic said of his success on break points. “I try not to get myself in Djokovic those positions too much.”

Thiem was no pushover, and seemed the farthest thing from intimidated.

He cranked his serve up to 141 mph, recorded 11 of the match’s first 16 winners and twice got games on Djokovic’s serve to last 10 minutes before the world No. 1 would ultimately prevail.

Perhaps it shouldn’t have

No makeup date has been announced yet.

been surprising, since he and Djokovic came into the day leading the tour with 24 wins apiece this year.

“With one of 15 break points, you cannot beat anyone, probably,” Thiem said. “For sure, not Djokovic.”

Thiem nearly broke Djokovic to get to 5-4 in the first, before a review showed that the backhand that looked like a winner actually sailed a tad long.

Djokovic hopped from his seat — he was already in changeover mode — and took advantage, winning to finish off the opening set.

He double-faulted to give Thiem a break and knot the second set at 3-3, but broke right back and eventually closed out the win.

“He’s still very young,” Djokovic said of Thiem, 22, the youngest player ranked in the top 20. “He’s been playing some of his best tennis the last couple of months. We’ll definitely see a lot of him in the future.”

Berdych needed nearly 2 1/2 hours to win 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, with the temperature reaching the mid-80s and the humidity making it seem much warmer on the court. A slew of upsets knocked out most of the tournament’s top seeds, although Berdych hasn’t seen his side of the draw open up much with all that star power going home early.

And now Djokovic awaits him.

“I’m just going to try and focus on my game, try to play some good tennis, stick with the things that are working well so far for me and just try to go for it no matter who’s going to be the opponent,” Berdych said.

Gilles Simon is also headed to the men’s quar-

terfinals, rolling past fellow Frenchman Lucas Pouille 6-0, 6-1. No. 6 seed Kei Nishikori of Japan, No. 12 seed Milos Raonic of Canada, No. 15 David Goffin of Belgium, No. 16 Gael Monfils of France and No. 24 Nick Kyrgios of Australia also advanced to the quarters. Monfils needed three sets; Nishikori, Raonic, Goffin and Kyrgios moved on with straight-set victories.

Switzerland’s Timea Bacsinszky, who has been the comeback queen on Key Biscayne, reached the women’s semifinals after another three-set marathon. The 19th-seeded Bacsinszky rallied to top fifth-seeded Simona Halep of Romania 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the quarterfinals.

“It’s something amazing,” Bacsinszky said. “I’m really happy today.”

Svetlana Kuznetsova will meet Bacsinszky in the semifinals.

Kuznetsova, the No. 15 seed who ousted top-ranked Serena Williams in the fourth round, beat 30th-seeded Ekaterina Makarova in an all-Russian quarterfinal that ended at 12:38 a.m. to move into the women’s final four.

Kuznetsova dropped the first set in a tiebreaker before taking the next two 6-4, 6-3, the match lasting 2 hours, 44 minutes.

It was the second straight win against a top-five seed for Bacsinszky, both coming after she dropped the opening set and exceeding the two-hour mark. She ousted third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska in the round of 16, and needed 2:28 to beat Halep.

With Halep out, the only top-10 seed left in the women’s draw is No. 2 Angelique Kerber of Germany. She plays Madison Keys of the U.S. in the quarterfinals Wednesday.

After calling Van Ryn “soft,” Campbell suggested, perhaps sarcastically, that Van Ryn should be the one punished for putting himself in a bad position. Kostopoulos was issued a three-game suspension.

Cod Parmesan with Zucchini Noodles

FAMILY FEATURES

N

ow more than ever, food choices matter. People want healthy, environmentally friendly foods without sacrificing flavor. Substituting the traditional protein in your favorite dishes with seafood is one deliciously smart way to satisfy these demands.

Seafood offers numerous health benefits. In fact, because seafood is high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and essential vitamins and minerals, but low in saturated fat and calories, several health organizations recommend two servings per week.

When it comes to the environment, seafood offers an advantage as well – it’s the most environmentally friendly of all the animal proteins. In a comparison of environmental costs, wild-capture fisheries have a miniscule cost compared to foods such as beef, chicken, pork and dairy.

Changing up traditional meals to incorporate the goodness of seafood is easier than you may think. Just pick a non-seafood protein dish that you regularly enjoy, and replace the protein with one of Alaska’s many species of seafood. For example, replace veal in veal parmesan with delicious Alaska cod or the chicken in chicken Marsala with flavorful Alaska salmon.

Find more easy, meatless recipes and inspiration at wildalaskaseafood.com.

COD PARMESAN WITH ZUCCHINI NOODLES Serves: 4 Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 20 minutes 2 medium zucchini (5-6 ounces each), thinly sliced 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 teaspoon olive oil salt and pepper, to taste 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/8 teaspoon dried basil 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano 1/8 teaspoon onion powder 4 Alaska cod fillets (4-6 ounces each) 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese, divided In nonstick skillet, saute zucchini slices in butter and oil just until soft. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Keep warm.

Heat oven to broil setting. Mix grated Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, basil, oregano and onion powder together. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Divide and spread topping onto the top of each fillet.

Place fillets on foil-lined broiler pan. Broil 5-7 inches from broiler element for 3 minutes, or until top is browned and bubbly.

Reduce heat to 300 F and cook 3-5 more minutes. Cook until fish is opaque throughout.

To serve, place 1/4 of zucchini on each plate.

Top with cod fillet and garnish with 1/2 tablespoon shredded cheese.

SALMON MARSALA Serves: 4 Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 20 minutes 4 Alaska salmon fillets (4-6 ounces each) salt and pepper, to taste 2 cups flour 1/2 cup olive oil 1 cup Marsala wine 2 cups mushrooms, sliced 2 cups chicken stock 2 teaspoons fresh thyme 2 tablespoons cold butter 4 fresh thyme sprigs, for garnish Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper, to taste. On plate, season flour with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge both sides of each salmon fillet in seasoned flour, shaking off excess.

Heat large saute pan and add olive oil then place each piece of salmon in pan. Cook for 2-4 minutes, turn fillets over and cook until almost done. Remove fillets from pan; set aside.

Off heat, add wine to pan, scraping bits off the bottom. Return pan to heat and add mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook for 1 minute. Add stock and thyme, and let liquid reduce by half.

Return salmon fillets to pan. Cook, while basting fish, until fillets are heated through. Remove fillets to 4 serving plates.

Return pan to heat, add cold butter and swirl until incorporated and sauce slightly thickens. Remove from heat Financing and divide sauce Available evenly over salmon fillets. Garnish each plate with 1 thyme sprig, if desired.

what’s cookin’ in lemon Lemon - a yellow, oval citrus fruit with thick skin and fragrant, acidic juice. These lemon sugar cookies are crispy, sweet, salty and will melt in your mouth. As for the lemon muffins, they are tender and light and have it all: that zesty citrus flavor, crunchy almond topping and sweet lemon icing. Smakelijk eten! lemon sugar cookies with vanilla bean and sea salt 1 1/2 tsp. lemon zest 1/2 cup sugar 2 cup flour 1 whole vanilla bean, scraped 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/2 cup vegetable oil 3/4 tsp. baking powder 1/2 cup butter 3/4 tsp. sea salt 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1/2 cup cane sugar 1 egg 1 tsp. sea salt 1 Tbsp. lemon juice Mix sugar and vanilla bean in a small bowl until combined. In a separate bowl, beat oil and butter together until smooth and whipped. Add powdered sugar as well as the sugar and vanilla mixture, combine well. Next add the egg, beating until the mixture is smooth. Finally, stir in lemon juice and zest before sifting in your dry ingredients: flour, baking soda and powder and salt. Stir to combine (don’t overmix!) and then refrigerate for a couple of hours before baking (the dough is rather light and sticky; this will help you shape the balls of dough later).

When you’re ready, preheat your oven to 350°. Gently mix the cane sugar and sea salt in a small bowl. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into small balls and coat all around with the sugar/salt mixture. Place them on the baking sheet and flatten just slightly. Bake for 10-13 minutes. These will harden up a lot when you take them out of the oven. lemon-almond muffins with lemon drizzle MUFFINS: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup canola oil 1/2 cup sugar 1 Tbsp. grated lemon peel 2 tsp. baking powder 1 egg 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. almond extract 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt 1/2 cup sliced almonds

GLAZE: 1 cup powdered sugar 1 1/2 to 3 Tbsp. lemon juice

Heat oven to 400°. Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda in large bowl.

Whisk yogurt, oil, lemon peel, egg and almond extract in medium bowl until blended. Fold into flour mixture just until blended.

Spoon into muffin cups; sprinkle with almonds, pressing slightly to adhere.

Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack 5 minutes. Remove from pan; place on wire rack.

Meanwhile, whisk powdered sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the lemon juice in small bowl until smooth, adding additional lemon juice 1 teaspoon at a time if necessary for desired consistency. Drizzle over warm muffins. (Glaze will set when muffins are cool.)

Serve warm, or cool completely. what’s cookin’ in kyp’s kitchen sponsored by:
