A night in Paris

Iowa man charged with killing mom, dad and sister BONDURANT (AP) — Authorities have charged a 20-year-old man with killing his mother, father and sister in their suburban Des Moines home.

Iowa court records say Chase Nicholson faces three counts of first-degree murder and is being held on $3 million bail in the Polk County Jail. The records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for him.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office says Nicholson surrendered to police in Neo-

Wells claws back $75 million from top execs in sales scandal NEW YORK (AP) — An investigation into sales practices at Wells Fargo released Monday has blamed the bank’s top management for creating an “aggressive sales culture” that led to a scandal involving millions of unauthorized accounts being opened.

The bank’s board of directors also clawed back another $75 million in pay from two former executives, CEO John Stumpf and community bank executive Carrie Tolstedt.

Wells’ board said both executives dragged their feet

sign customers up for online banking services. “(Wells’ management) created pressure on employees to sell unwanted or unneeded products to customers and, in some cases, to open unauthorized accounts,” the board said in its report.

Many current and former employees have talked of intense and constant pressure from managers to sell and open accounts, and some said it pushed them into unethical behavior. The report backs up those employees’ accounts.

The bank has already paid $185 million in fines to federal and local authorities and settled a $110 million class-action lawsuit. The scandal also resulted in the abrupt retirement last October of longtime CEO John Stumpf, not long after he underwent blistering questioning from congressional panels.

The bank remains under investigation in several states, as well as by the Securities and Exchange Commission, for its practices.

The board’s report recommended that Stumpf and Tolstedt have additional compensation clawed back for their negligence and poor management. Tolstedt will lose $47.3 million in stock options, on top of $19 million the board had already clawed back. Stumpf will lose an additional $28 million in compensation, on top of the $41 million the board already clawed back. The move is among the largest corporate executive clawbacks ever.

The board found that, when presented with the growing problems in Wells’ community banking division, senior management was unwilling to hear criticism or consider changes in behavior. The board particularly faulted Tolstedt, calling her “insular and defensive” and unable to accept scrutiny from inside or outside her organization.

The board also found that Tolstedt actively worked to downplay any problems in her division. In a report made in October 2015, nearly three years after a Los Angeles Times investigation uncovered the scandal, Tolstedt “minimized and understated problems at the community bank.”

Tolstedt declined to be interviewed for the investigation, the board said, on advice from her lawyers.

Stumpf also received his share of criticism. In its report, the board found that Stumpf was also unwilling to change Wells’ business model when problems arose.

“His reaction invariably was that a few bad employees were causing issues ... he was too late and too slow to call for inspection or critical challenge to (Wells’) basic business model,” the board said.

Stumpf, however, did not seem to express regret for how he handled those initial weeks after the bank was fined, including where he initially levied most of the blame on low-level employees for the sales practices problems instead of management, said Stuart Baskin, lawyer with Shearman & Sterling, the firm that the board hired to investigate the sales scandal The investigation found that Wells’ corporate structure was also to blame. Under Stumpf, Wells operated in a decentralized fashion, with executives of each of the businesses running their divisions almost like separate companies.

While there is nothing wrong with operating a large company like Wells in a decentralized fashion, the board said, the structure backfired in this case by allowing Tolstedt and other executives to hide the problems in their organization from senior management and the board of directors.

When the scandal broke, Wells said it had fired roughly 5,300 employees as a result of the sales practices, the vast majority of them rank-andfile employees. But when that figure was announced it was the first time that the board of directors had heard the sales practices problems were of such a large size and scope.

According to the report, as recently as May 2015, senior management told the board that only 230 employees had been fired for sales practices violations.

Wells has instituted several corporate and business changes since the problems became known nationwide. Wells has changed its sales practices, and called tens of millions of customers to check on whether they truly opened the accounts in question.

The company also split the roles of chairman and CEO. Tim Sloan, Wells’ former president and chief operating officer, took over as CEO. Stephen Sanger, who had been the lead director on Wells’ board since 2012, became the company’s independent chairman.

Sanger has shown little in the way of mercy to management responsible for Wells’ unethical sales practices. Under his chairmanship, Sanger clawed back tens of millions of dollars in stock awards and compensation due to Stumpf and Carrie Tolstedt, the head of Wells retail banking operations before she retired last summer.

In January, the board took the unusual action of publicly firing four executives whom the board said had major roles in the bank’s sales practices at the center of the scandal.

It also cut bonuses to other major executives, including Sloan.

However, the board’s report concluded that Sloan had little direct involvement in the questionable sales practices.

LUCCA, Italy (AP) — Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven industrialized nations met Monday to forge a response to the deadly chemical attack in Syria, and British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said they would consider imposing sanctions against Russian backers of President Bashar Assad.

G-7 diplomats gathering in Lucca, Italy, hope to use outrage over the attack and wide international support for the United States’ retaliatory missile strikes to push Russia to abandon Assad and join a new peace effort for Syria.

Speaking after meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Johnson said ministers “will be discussing the possibility of further sanctions, certainly, on some of the Syrian m i l i t a r y Johnson figures and indeed on some of the Russian military figures.”

He said Russia had a choice: to continue backing the “toxic” Assad regime, “or to work with the rest of the world to find a solution for Syria, a political solution.”

Last week’s nerve gas attack in the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun, which killed more than 80 people, stirred President Donald Trump — who was previously cool to the idea of U.S. intervention — to strike for the first time at Assad’s forces. U.S. warships fired 59 cruise missiles at the Syrian air base from which the U.S. believes the attack was launched.

Tillerson said Monday at the site of a World War IIera Nazi massacre in central Italy that the United States is rededicating itself to hold

to account “any and all” who commit crimes against innocent people.

With the group of wealthy nations working to see if it can strike a common front on Syria, Tillerson accompanied Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano to Santa’Anna di Stazzema, where 560 civilians, including some 130 children, were killed in 1944.

Alfano said the site of past Nazi atrocities was a reminder that “peace is not a given. ... That is why we are here to work all together for peace and liberty.”

The meeting in the Tuscan walled city of Lucca brings together the foreign ministers of France, Germany, Britain, Japan and Canada — as well as the U.S. and current G-7 president Italy.

Ahead of the full meeting, Tillerson held bilateral talks with G-7 counterparts who included Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault and Britain’s Johnson.

Tillerson also spoke by phone with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, whose governm e n t insists Assad s h o u l d Tillerson play no role in Syria’s future.

Over the weekend, Alfano said that Europe’s broad support for the U.S. military strikes had contributed to a “renewed harmony” between the United States and its partners as the G-7 foreign ministers prepared to meet for the first time since Donald Trump took office in January.

“We need to remember that not 10 years ago, but 100 or 120 days ago, the concern in Europe was that

the United States and the EU were moving apart,” Alfano told Sky TG24 Sunday. “I welcome this renewed harmony.”

After meeting Tillerson, Japan’s Kishida said “Japan supports the U.S. commitment in trying to take responsibility to prevent spread and use of chemical weapons and we confirmed Japan and the U.S. will continue to work together (in that effort).”

The G-7 meeting comes as the United States is sending a Navy carrier strike group toward the Korean Peninsula to provide a physical presence following North Korea’s persistent ballistic missile tests.

It is also taking place amid an ongoing terror threat that was underscored by the Palm Sunday bombing of Coptic churches in Egypt claimed by the Islamic State group, and another truck attack on European soil, this time in Stockholm, on Friday.

The United States is fighting Islamic State group militants in Syria but had previously avoided striking government forces, largely out of concern about being pulled into a military conflict with Russia.

The chemical attack has sent a new chill through relations between the West and Moscow, which denies Syrian forces used chemical weapons.

Russia plans to put forward a proposal on Monday for an independent and impartial investigation of the attack, a spokesman for German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said in Berlin.

The spokesman, Martin Schaefer, said Germany viewed it as “a good and important sign.”

Russia was kicked out of the club of industrialized nations, formerly the G-8, after its 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea region

and assistance for pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.

Britain’s Johnson, who had been due to visit Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow ahead of Monday’s G-7 meeting, canceled the trip at the last minute, saying the chemical attack had “changed the situation fundamentally.”

He said that instead he would work with the United States and other G-7 nations “to build coordinated international support for a cease-fire on the ground and an intensified political process.”

Tillerson is due to travel to Russia after the G-7 gathering, and Johnson said he will deliver a “clear and coordinated message to the Russians.”

Washington has sent mixed signals about whether it shares the determination of allies including Britain that Assad must be removed from power.

After the chemical attack, Trump said his attitude toward Assad “has changed very much” and Tillerson said “steps are underway” to organize a coalition to remove him from power.

In a round of television interviews that aired Sunday, though, Tillerson said the top U.S. priority in the region remains the defeat of Islamic State militants.

Among European nations, there are also differences. While Britain says Assad must go, Alfano was cautious on the issue, saying that decision should be up to the Syrians.

“I have to say, the Libya experiment did not go well. We are still paying the price,” Alfano said, referring to the lawlessness that has ensued since the killing of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi and the subsequent flow of migrants to Europe via Italy.

US airlines show improvement in annual study DALLAS (AP) — Airlines are getting better at sticking to their schedules and are losing fewer bags.

Their customers seem to be complaining less often.

Those are the findings of an annual report on U.S. airlines’ quality released Monday by researchers at Wichita State University and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

Many passengers may have trouble believing those conclusions, however.

In just the last few days Delta Air Lines suffered a multiday meltdown — canceling more than 3,000 flights after a one-day storm in Atlanta. And on Monday, United Airlines was in the spotlight after a video showed security agents dragging a man off a plane; he had refused to give up his seat on a flight that United overbooked.

Macy Evans to sign ag letter of intent AMES - The Iowa Department of Education for the 2016-17 school year has once again identified agriculture education as a teacher shortage area. The Iowa Association of Agriculture Educators (IAAE), as part of a Teach Ag grant program, are focusing efforts to combat this shortage.

High school seniors and college transfer students who are committing to pursue a degree in agricultural education with a teacher certification will be participating in the second-annual letter of intent signing day for future agriculture teachers today at the 89th Iowa FFA Leadership Conference on Iowa State University’s (ISU) campus in Hilton Coliseum.

Macy Evans of Creston will be recognized for choosing to pursue a degree in agriculture education and will sign a letter of intent to attend ISU during a general session Monday afternoon. Evans is currently a student of FFA instructor Kelsey Bailey.

The purpose of the event is to recognize those students

who are pursuing an agriculture education degree at the institution of their choice and committing to teach upon completion of their degree. The signees will receive a cap from the college they will be attending, a Teach Ag T-shirt, Teach Ag hootie owl and lapel pin.

Last year, Iowa was the first in the nation to conduct a signing event for a letter of intent to teach. This year, 30 students are committing to teach agriculture and pursue a degree in agricultural education at ISU, Northwest Missouri State University and Oklahoma State University.

The Iowa FFA State Leadership Conference is the fifth-largest state FFA conference in the nation, reaching attendance of nearly 5,000 students, parents, educators and agriculture industry leaders.

Today’s FFA members are the innovators and leaders of tomorrow. Through agricultural and hands-on learning, they are preparing for more than 300 career opportunities in the food, fiber and natural resources industry.

help your friends. This year you will be excited as you start to see the fruits of your efforts for the past six years. Expect your well-earned rewards soon!

Many of you will become both a student and a teacher at some point.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: This week’s SOUND OFF is about mail-order companies: “Dear Heloise: My complaint is with mail-order companies that have a freeshipping-and-handling promotion and then have the nerve to charge a processing fee (usually $2.95) in case the order gets lost in transit.

This fee supposedly will expedite the search. Chances are it won’t get lost, so they make an extra $2.95 per order for nothing! What a ripoff!” – Gloria R., Highland, Ind. Gloria, the handling fee isn’t “in case it gets lost.”

Companies need to pay someone to package the product and get it sent out.

There’s paperwork, such as invoices that need to be filed for tracking purposes, and more. It seems to me that $2.95 is a reasonable amount to request for all of that. – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com

FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are some warm-weather hints: * Put deodorant on a mosquito bite to stop the itching. * Press your tongue against the roof of your mouth to stop “brain freeze.” * Put your nail polish in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before applying. It goes on smoother. * Flattened pillow? Place the pillow in the sun for 40 minutes. The sun will absorb moisture and plump up your pillow. – Heloise FRUIT CUPS Dear Heloise: I think I found a storage solution that your readers might enjoy: I buy fruit cups for my kids, and I found that stacking them top to top saves a little more space in my refrigerator. – Liz D. in Philadelphia SPACE-SAVING IDEAS Dear Heloise: When my husband and I travel, we try to pack so that we can save space in our luggage using the following ideas: * Place shoes inside of a shower cap. * Put shampoo, toothpaste and deodorant in a plastic bag, and then put that plastic bag in the pocket of a garment. Be sure to seal the bag

shut! – Gina R., Tampa, Fla. RECYCLED PACKING PEANUTS Dear Heloise: I recycle my foam and packing peanuts by placing them in a large garbage bag and taking it to a shipping store. They always seem happy to get them. – Patricia Q., Bellevue, Neb. BOBBIN STORAGE Dear Heloise: I’ve found that if you store wound bobbins in weekly pillboxes, they won’t become lost or tangled up. – Ronna S., Virginia Beach, Va. Ronna, that’s a good idea!

Here are a few more sewing ideas: * Binder clips can be extra hands. They’re perfect for holding your binding in place, or a stack of quilting squares. * Before working with lace fabric, wash it in mild, soapy water, rinse and let it air-dry. If it loses its stiffness, use spray starch and iron on low to medium heat. * If you are trying to sew a straight line, don’t watch the needle. Train yourself to watch the guide instead to achieve that straight line. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

AREA BOYS TRACK AND FIELD

Raiders show strongest at Clarinda

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

CLARINDA — Creston, Mount Ayr and Southwest Valley were among the local boys track and field squads in a large field at the Clarinda relays Friday.

Creston ran shorthanded once again without Dalten Bierle (hamstring), Ashton Wills and Camden Peterson (FBLA conference).

“In our running events, the boys stepped up place wise,” Creston coach Pat Schlapia said. “We had them in the JV division, instead of 3A, to give them a chance to move up place-wise. They competed very well.”

Competing in the junior varsity classes were Hank

Looney, Jared Moreland and Isaac Ralston.

Ralston set a personal record with a 16.68 100 meter dash.

Moreland picked up first in his JV heat, running a 1:03.24 in the 400 meter dash.

Same schools from Glenwood’s meet comprised the 3A, and the JV,” Schlapia said. “The 2A schools, also had some of their people in the JV division. This was a good confidence booster for our boys. We just need to build on that, and keep improving. We’re learning each time out.”

Raiders just below top flight programs Mount Ayr’s track and field squad had its hands

full with several area powerhouse boys programs.

The Raiders finished fifth with 82 team points behind Griswold, St. Albert, Underwood and Clarinda respectively.

Isaac Timmerman led the Raiders out of multiple distance events, placing second in the 3,200 meter run Timmerman in 11:01.26 and third in the 800 meter run in a time of 2:16.95.

Chase Smith added a third-place finish in the 3,200 with a time of 11:29.28.

Marcus Daughton aided

the Raider point effort with a third-place finish in the 400 meter hurdles and ran on the fourth place distance med unit while brother Cal picked up points with in the sprint med, 100 meter dash, 4x400 and 200 meter dash, (second place in 23.97).

Trenton Stull and Josh Cowley added third and fourth respectively in the high jump.

Timberwolves taking strides Southwest Valley continues to tinker with its lineup, rearranging relays and individual events to find new combinations and strengths.

Through this, several individuals stood out in Clarinda.

Christian McCuen took

second in the high jump with a leap of 5 feet and six inches. Wyatt McAlpin dashed his way to a time of 55.63 seconds in the 400 meter dash to take third.

Grant Maurer picked up third in the 100 hurdles, 17.03, a personal record, and was on the sprint medley unit that took fourth alongside McAlpin, Chance Cobb and Evan Skelton.

Cobb blazed his way to a fourth-place finish in the 100 meter dash in 11.92 seconds.

“I was very happy with how hard the guys ran and competed tonight,” Southwest Valley coach Allen Naugle said. “We are still really trying to figure out TRACK | 7A

CRESTON/O-M GIRLS GOLF

Trojan girls golfers test Panthers

By RYAN KRONBERG

CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s girls golf team had one of the stiffest tests it could have asked for in Friday’s season-opener at Crestmoor.

Defending Class 3A team champion Atlantic came over for a Hawkeye 10 Conference match.

The Panthers fared well, but the Trojans had a little too much in winning the dual.

Led by University of Nebraska signee Brooke Newell, the Trojans won 174-203.

“I don’t feel like we were intimidated by the Trojans,” said Creston/Orient-Macksburg coach Jon Thomson. “We were right there with them.”

Newell was the medalist with a 38. Teammate Alyssa Ginther was the runner-up with a 43.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg was led by Ashton Carter’s 45.

“Ashton was the front runner for the Panthers,” Thomson said.

The Panthers were hampered by Hayley Osmun having to withdraw in the middle of the round due to a wrist injury.

UP NEXT — Creston/Orient-Macksburg is back on the course Tuesday against Clarke and Winterset at Lakeview Country Club in Winterset.

Atlantic 174; Creston/Orient-Macksburg 203.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg cards — Ashton Carter, 45; Sophia Groumoutis, 47; Sydney Hartsock, 51; Sadie Green, 60. Hayley Osmun could not finish her round due to a wrist injury.

Atlantic cards — Brook Newell, 38; Alyssa Ginther, 43; McKenna DenBeste, 46; Baylee Newell, 47; Sarah Fixmer, 50; May Hayes. 56.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg junior Sophia Groumoutis uses an iron from the fairway to put the ball near the green as she approaches the clubhouse in the middle of her round at Crestmoor Golf Club Friday. Groumoutis posted a 9-hole score of 47 for the Panthers in a losing effort to defending state champion Atlantic.

SWCC SOFTBALL

Spartans still trying to put it all together

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Southwestern Community College’s softball bats may continue to be prepared for glory, but the Spartans still seek a full day in which the gloves, pitching, and mental aspects of the game all come together for a doubleheader sweep.

The Spartans scored eight runs in the home half of the fourth, lost the lead, but mounted a five-run rally in the fifth to win game one of Sunday’s doubleheader against Iowa Community College Athletic Confer-

ence foe Ellsworth, 14-11 Southwestern added a run in the sixth for good measure as Fallyn Beemer grounded out to score JoHana McGuire from third.

The Spartans then fell 6-4 in game two after the Panthers jumped out on top in the first inning following several Spartan errors.

“We took advantage of their mistakes as well today,” Southwestern coach Paige Cassady said. “Unfortunately we were the team that made more in the second one.”

Southwestern mashed the softball like taters and seemed to have that whole

hitting thing under wraps in the first game.

Spartan sophomores Kassidy Craig and Abby Davis continue to rip the ball with authority, as they try to set the tone for the team.

Davis, a sophomore slugger with plenty of extra base hits on her resume, added immensely to that total over SWCC | 7A CNA photo by KALEB CARTER

Southwestern sophomore Kassidy Craig lays into the softball in game one of the Spartans doubleheader split against Ellsworth on Sunday. Craig now sports .492 batting average this season.

AREA GOLF East Union golfers defend home course Friday

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

AFTON — East Union’s boys golf team took advantage of much better conditions than earlier in the week in Friday’s triangular with Bedford and Interstate 35.

Led by medalist Sanden Cheers, the Eagles picked

up a 20-stroke win over Bedford and a 103 stroke win over Interstate 35 at Lakeside Golf & Country Club.

Cheers was the medalist with a round of 40.

“Sanden Cheers had a good round,” said East Union coach Dave Campbell.

Even with the home win, Campbell knows his squad

can show so much more.

“The boys took home the win, but we need to start practicing a little better,” Campbell said. “I know that they can play better than we are at this time.”

On the girls side, East Union was the only one to field a complete team. Interstate 35 only had three girls and Bedford does not

have a girls team this season.

The team carded a cumulative score of 262.

“The girls put in a good night of golf and are showing improvement,” Campbell said.

East Union’s Quinn Eslinger was the medalist with a 63. Teammate Lauren Hadley was the runner-up with a 64.

UP NEXT — East Union’s girls and boys host Lenox and Interstate 35 Tuesday.

Boys — Team scores — East Union, 186; Bedford,188; Interstate 35, 289.

East Union cards — Sanden Cheers, 40; Ryan Collins, 48; Christopher Case, 49; Matt McGuire, 49; Trevor Jones, 52; Kyle Campbell, 59.

East Union girls cards — Quinn Eslinger, 63; Lauren Hadley, 64; Anna Collins, 67; Casey Allen, 68; Olivia Moore, 77; Kate Sutton, 85.

Over the Spartans’ last five games, Davis has bashed her way to four doubles, four home runs, and 12 RBIs. Sunday, she went 5-for-7 with a home run, two doubles and five RBIs. Davis is now hitting .473 with a slugging percentage hovering around .1000.

After she struggled against NJCAA Division II second-ranked Kirkwood, Craig got back into a groove Sunday.

day against Ellsworth, contributing four RBIs to the Spartans’ cause. She bumped her season batting average up to .492.

“Today was a new day. I got my sticks back,” Craig said.

While both have been consistently on top of their game in the top portion of the lineup, a less experienced group of Spartans still seek to find their way.

Katlyn Schiefen is another plus-.400 hitter, the rest of the lineup has struggled to find ways to score without Davis and Craig on base.

More expectations are heaped upon those sophomores, who tend to step into

the role eagerly but while sometimes stuck in their own heads.

The Kirkwood series, which resulted in losses of 6-2 and 12-2, showed the Spartans how close they were to competing at a topflight level.

“We did much better against Kirkwood than I thought we would,” Cassady said.

That carried over to Sunday.

“Game one today thankfully we hit, but our defense didn’t want to show up,” Cassady said.

The 2017 season has been a growing process for the Spartans, who are in the

midst of a transition season under Cassady.

Where success is found, mistakes are sure to follow.

“If we have a good fielding day, we have a bad hitting day,” Davis said. “If we have a good hitting day we have a bad fielding day. That has been frustrating but … we see what we can do every game and they (teammates) improve every game so it’s like unlocking our potential every game.”

The hope remains that the inexperienced squad can pick up and put forth the bits and pieces from what they see from their leaders in the sophomore class and from Cassady’s tutelage.

Sometimes just seeing Craig and Davis have success is enough to fuel the Spartans.

“Today set a good tone for the rest of our season, especially with how well we hit in the first game,” Davis said.

Near the top of the order, Craig has pressure on her shoulders to get on base and lead the charge.

“Usually when we they see us step up, they can put the ball in play and it works out,” Craig said.

Now, the Spartans want to be able to prove their worth.

They can approach the next seven matchups on their schedule through April with confidence at the dish, while

knowing that they need to put a lot of small things together to grind out wins.

“We can definitely beat teams that other teams probably think that we couldn’t,” Davis said. “Even sometimes we don’t even think we could beat those teams. But we definitely have the potential for that.”

McGuire earned the win in the circle in game one, mixing her pitches effectively in relief, and lost the decision in game two.

Give blood and help save lives this spring Eligible blood donors of all blood types are encouraged to give blood through the American Red Cross this spring to help ensure a sufficient supply for hospital patients. Donated blood is perishable and must constantly be replenished to keep up with hospital patient need. Red blood cells are the blood component most frequently transfused by hospitals and must be used within 42 days of donation.

Eligible donors can give red blood cells through either a regular whole blood donation or a Power Red donation, where available.

Power Red donors give a concentrated dose of red blood cells during a single donation, allowing them to maximize their impact.

During this type of donation, red blood cells are separated from other blood components, and the plasma and platelets are safely and comfortably returned to the donor.

While donors of all blood types are encouraged to give blood, type O, A negative and B negative donors are urged to give Power Reds if they meet the additional eligibility criteria. Type O negative is the universal blood type and can be transfused to patients of any blood type in an emergency. Similarly, type O positive can be transfused to Rh-positive patients of any blood type.

Types A negative and B negative can be transfused to Rh-positive or negative patients. Power Red donations help ensure a stable supply of these critical blood types.

Whole blood can be donated every 56 days, up to

six times a year, and Power Red donations may be made every 112 days, up to three times per year.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities include • From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

April 17 at Nodaway Valley High School, 410 NW Second St., in Greenfield • From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

April 18 at Creston SWCC Instructional Bldg, 1501 W. Townline, in Creston • From noon to 6 p.m.

April 24 at Trinity Lutheran Church, 800 N. Sumner St., in Creston

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

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