Company seeking permits for new hog plant in Mason City MASON CITY (AP) — Prestage Foods is working to obtain the environmental permits it needs to build a $240 million pork processing plant in Mason City.

The Globe Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/1NvQUBM ) the company will need to secure final approval from the city and environmental regulators before it can build the plant.

The environmental review process will address how much water the plant will need, how its wastewater would be treated and what effect it might have on air quality.

Many of the roughly 200 people who attended a hearing on the project earlier this month urged city officials to reject it.

Company owner Ron Prestage has promised to build a high-tech plant that wouldn’t disrupt the community or harm the environment.

The City Council is planning hearings on April 21 and May 3 before deciding whether to approve the development agreement with

Prestage.

The company hopes to start construction in August and have the plant operational by mid-2018 if it gains all the necessary approvals. Eventually, the plant could process as many as 22,000 hogs per day and employ 2,000 workers, but it would take several years to work up to that.

City Administrator Brent Trout said the Iowa Department of Natural Resources will look at several aspects of the proposed plant.

Already, state officials have said groundwater supplies from the region’s Jordan aquifer should be sufficient to supply what the pork plant would need.

Trout said the city’s wastewater treatment plant has the capacity to handle what the plant produces.

DNR spokesman Kevin Baskins said regulators will evaluate all the calculations the company made about its wastewater treatment plan, and they will review the equipment Prestage wants to use to control air pollution.

Egg producer Rembrandt Foods to build cage-free farm DES MOINES (AP) — One of the nation’s largest egg producers says it plans to build a new cage-free farm in eastern South Dakota that will house 3 million egg-laying hens.

Spirit Lake, Iowa-based Rembrandt Foods supplies egg products to food manufacturers, food service providers, restaurant chains and retail grocers. It announced plans to increase the number of hens housed in cage-free barns last year.

“If there are only two people, we’ll either put them in a team or we always have an open line, so we can start another station. And then, there’s always a need for people to build the boxes and fill containers.”

Each team packages meals for an hour, and during that time, the team will average about 2,000 meals.

“It’s just remarkable that our second year, we had more than (200) volunteers on campus, and this past year, we had more than 375 volunteers on campus,” Kulow said. “Last year, our youngest was age 8 and our oldest was 92, and they packaged together, so it’s really fun to see the different age groups come together all for the same cause.”

Last year, one of the largest groups that volunteered was the Creston fifth-grade

Advocacy group says DOD misled Congress on sex assault cases WASHINGTON (AP) — An advocacy group says the Pentagon made misleading claims about sexual assault cases to block legislation that would change how the military handles allegations of sexual misconduct.

In a report released Monday, Protect Our Defenders criticized the Pentagon for telling Congress that if the bill is passed fewer sexual assault cases would go to trial.

The group supports the legislation.

Military representatives have defended the accuracy of the information.

The legislation aims to stop sexual assaults by stripping senior officers of their responsibilities to decide whether to prosecute sexual assault cases and giving that authority to seasoned trial lawyers.

An Associated Press investigation published Monday found the Pentagon used the cases to cast civilian law enforcement officials as less willing than military commanders to punish sex offenders.

Sanders backs bill to let 9/11 families sue Saudi Arabia NEW YORK (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is backing legislation that would let Americans sue Saudi Arabia over the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The bill is opposed by the Obama administration.

But’s important to families of 9/11 victims, some of whom believe Saudi officials played some part in the attacks.

Sanders spoke in favor of the legislation Monday on NBC’s “Today Show” on the eve of the New York presidential primary. He says it’s important to have a full understand-

ing of the “the possible role of the Saudi government in 9/11.”

U.S. inquiries have not reported a link between the Saudi government or its senior officials and the attacks. But Sanders notes that some conclusions remain classified.

Sanders says Saudi Arabia promotes an extreme and “very destructive” version of Islam.

Fifteen of the 19 hijackers in the September 2001 attacks, which destroyed the World Trade Center and killed thousands, were citizens of Saudi Arabia.

class. This year’s fifth-grade students will also volunteer.

“I think it’s important for (the students) to realize what it means to give back,” said Scott Driskell, Creston third through fifth-grade principal. “Often times, young kids are more the consumers than they are the providers, so this is a good way for them to learn what it means to give back and provide for others ... Last year, the kids’ comments to me were positive about what they were doing.”

Teams will be accepted until all time slots are full, and additional volunteers will be used for other jobs.

Currently, there is space open during the noon and 1 p.m. hour slots. Teams are asked to raise money to pay for the packaging and shipping of the meals. The cost to package and ship 2,000 meals is approximately $425.

My comforter lacks some comfort Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about the size of comforter sets. Ruthi S. wrote: “I just purchased a new queen-size comforter set that is too short for the bed.

“A king size would be too wide, so that is not an option.

It seems that mattresses are getting thicker and thicker, and the comforters are getting smaller and smaller.

“When I compared this new one to the one I am currently using, the new one is at least 9 inches shorter. If the manufacturers think they are saving money by using less material, they need to realize that they also are losing sales over this practice.” – Ruthi S., Martinsburg, W.Va. Ruthi, thanks for sharing your comment! This is an ongoing problem. The old saying “The right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing” applies here.

Yes, mattresses are getting “thicker”; thus, older sheets, bedspreads and comforters do not fit properly. As to the comforter manufacturers, there is a vast amount of difference in dimension! The only thing I can say is, measure YOUR mattress, including height, before shopping for bedding.

When we got adjustable beds (which I LOVE, by the way), I had to resort to

Hints from Heloise making a bedspread! It’s a good thing I can sew, or we’d be using TWO queen bedspreads. Sooooo ... there you “sew”! – Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Other uses for old leather belts (additional holes may be needed): 1. As an earring holder.

2. To hold barrettes or hair clips.

3. Hang from a wall to display commemorative pins.

4. Wrap around a pot plant to add some flair.

5. As a purse or camera strap.

them. I would keep whatever I thought I may use in the upcoming year. Students may have a need for clothing I salvaged.

The extra I would take to places in town that distribute clothing to people. You’d be surprised at the quality of some of the items. I always had use for the items, as students had “accidents” during the year, and parents could not be reached. I could furnish jeans, or a jacket if it turned cold.

I don’t know if school policy would allow this anymore, but it sure came in useful for me when I worked. – Margie M., Kerrville, Texas Margie, you are one special person! Yes, schools do need extra clothing for students who may have a mishap, tear something, get sick, etc. Readers, check with BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker schools in your area to see if they need clothing.

Horoscope Tuesday, April 19, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today you feel passionate and intense about everything.

However, you will feel this particularly during discussions with bosses, parents and the police. Be careful.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) If you are looking for answers or doing research today, you will be like a dog with a bone: You will not give up until you find what you want.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Disputes with a friend or a member of a group might arise today, especially about how to spend a specific amount of money or deal with shared property. Remember that discussions are a two-way street.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Difficulties with bosses and parents might arise today, because you want to get your own way. Be careful. This relationship might end.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might decide to part ways with a group of people based on religious, political or racial views. Issues are hot; you will not betray your own values.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Disputes about inheritances, insurance issues and shared property will be intense today.

You might be at loggerheads with someone so fiercely that the relationship will end.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Sometimes we hang on to someone out of feelings of insecurity. Today you will examine your relationships and either change them or accept them for what they are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your zeal to introduce reforms at work might create resistance. You won’t back down, which is why things will come to a head by the Full Moon on Thursday.

SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Parents must be gentle with their kids today, because everyone is obsessed about something today. This means if someone wants something, they really want something. Be the adult in this scenario.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Family disagreements might be imminent, because different people want different things. Unfortunately, these feelings are intense. Hopefully, after Thursday’s Full Moon there will be peace.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) No matter what you discuss today, you will be passionately intense about it. Just be aware of this so that you know why others react as they do.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) If shopping today, you will be obsessed about buying something. Well, if you want it and you can afford it, why not get it?

YOU BORN TODAY Not only do you have skill and talent, you also have patience and discipline. This is why you set

difficult goals for yourself and attain them. Finally! This is the year you have been waiting for.

Expansion and great activity are yours! Take advantage of opportunities that come your way. Expect a major change, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2006. It’s time to test your future!

Points scored by Miami in a Game 1 win over Charlotte, a franchise record.

National Digest

Blues rally CHICAGO — The St. Louis Blues kept pushing and pushing until a costly play by Patrick Kane provided an opening. And there was nothing for the Chicago Blackhawks to challenge.

Jaden Schwartz scored at 13:32 of the third period with Kane in the penalty box for high-sticking, and the Blues beat the Blackhawks 3-2 on Sunday for a 2-1 lead in their firstround playoff series.

Patrik Berglund and rookie Colton Parayko also scored as St. Louis rallied after a difficult 3-2 loss in Game 2 that included two key coach’s challenges that went against the Blues -one of them wiping out a tiebreaking goal for Vladimir Tarasenko.

Brian Elliott made 44 saves Sunday, keeping St. Louis in the game during Chicago’s strong second period.

It was Chicago’s first regulation loss when leading after two periods since Game 2 of the 2014 Western Conference finals against the Los Angeles Kings. The Blackhawks had been 70-0-4 since the start of last season when they had the lead at the beginning of the third, according to STATS.

Clippers cruise LOS ANGELES — Chris Paul had 28 points and 11 assists as one of three Clippers with a double-double, leading Los Angeles to a 115-95 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers in the opener of their first-round playoff series Sunday night.

Blake Griffin had 19 points and 12 rebounds, DeAndre Jordan added 18 points and 12 rebounds and J.J. Redick had 17 points. The Clippers are 6-0 with Griffin in the lineup since he returned from a 45-game absence two weeks ago.

Damian Lillard led the Blazers with 21 points, while backcourt mate CJ McCollum was held to nine points. They combined to average 45.9 points this season, third-highest by any duo in the NBA. Against the Clippers, they shot a combined 10 of 28.

Game 2 is Wednesday night at Staples Center.

Royals fall OAKLAND, Calif.

— Billy Burns’ speed, along with a little luck, helped Oakland win its first home series.

Josh Reddick’s sacrifice fly off Joakim Soria broke an eighth-inning tie and lifted the Oakland Athletics over the Kansas City Royals 3-2 Sunday.

Soria (1-1) relieved to start the eighth, Burns tripled into the right-field corner and Reddick flied to center with one out.

Burns came across the plate standing up, easily beating Lorenzo Cain’s throw.

John Axford (2-0) induced three consecutive groundouts in the eighth, and Ryan Madson pitched a one-hit ninth for his fourth save in as many chances, retiring Raymond Fuentes on a game-ending lineout to first with a runner on second.

Royals starter Kris Medlen allowed two runs — one earned — two hits and four walks in 6 1/3 innings.

Meet records, season’s bests fall at Panther Relays

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

Mount Ayr broke two meet records and the Creston boys recorded a number of season’s best performances here Friday at the Panther Relays.

Atlantic won a close contest with North Polk for the team title, scoring 108.5 points to North Polk’s 104.5 points. Mount Ayr tied with Shenandoah for sixth place at 49.25 points and Creston was eighth at 26.25 points.

The Mount Ayr Raiders set the track at Panther Field ablaze with a pair of scorching meet records that currently have both events in the Drake Relays field.

The Raider distance medley relay team of Jacob Taylor, Cal Daughton, Trevor Anderson and Kyle Dolecheck overtook Harlan on the final lap for the win in 3:37.60, which beat the meet record set in 2014 by Mount Ayr. Dolecheck came into the meet with a season’s best time of 2:07 in the 800 meters, but dropped a 1:58 anchor leg, closing a big gap on Dolecheck Harlan’s Levi Preston on the final lap. Anderson split a 52-second 400 meter on the third leg.

Mount Ayr’s 3:37.60 currently ties the Raiders for 16th in the state, with the top 24 times in the event qualifying for next week’s Drake Relays field.

Rhett Murphy, Daughton, Anderson and Dolecheck broke a Panther Relays meet record set in 1989 by Glenwood to win the Dick Skarda 4x400.

Daughton split a 51.5 on the second leg to put the Raiders into first place and Mount Ayr never looked back, dominating the field with a 4.87-second victory.

Dolecheck ran 50.4 on the anchor leg, giving Mount Ayr a time of 3:28.32, beating Glenwood’s 1989 record of 3:28.52.

The distance medley relay team of Swank, Kadon Hulett, Brody Frain and Dalten Bierle ran 4:11.46, another season’s best time.

“I think our sprinters are gaining more confidence each meet out,” Schlapia said. “They’re right in there competing. I was glad to see that. When you’re starting to see some of these season’s bests, we’re going to see those times get down and distances get further. You can’t argue with that as a coach.”

Momentum in Friday’s girls tennis showdown here shifted as quickly as the winds whipping through the Southwestern Community College tennis facility.

Ballard, coming in at 4-0 with a history of knocking off the Panther girls in team regional play, found itself trailing 6-3, 7-3 and 6-3 in the first three singles matches, with each of the six singles matches going to 8 points, followed by three doubles contests.

Jurgensen took the early lead and claimed the tiebreaker, 7-5, to give Ballard a 2-1 lead. The advantage grew to 4-2 after Ballard won matches at No. 5 and No. 6 singles, needing only one victory in doubles to clinch the win.

Creston/O-M had success in the first two doubles matches to forge another tie, 4-4. Taylor and Thomsen won 8-3 at No. 1 doubles and Sydney Dunphy — who won 8-5 at No. 4 singles — teamed with Caitlin McIlravy for an

The entire varsity lineups for both Ballard and Creston/O-M consisted of seniors in a battle of veteran players, many with experience at the state meet level.

The Creston/O-M girls golf team posted a 23-stroke victory over Chariton Saturday at the Winterset Invitational for the team title.

That came just one day after the Panther boys finished fourth in a seven-team field at the Dutch Masters at Bos Landen Golf Course in Pella. Nodaway Valley finished sixth.

Senior Madison Hance led the C r e s ton/O-M girls by carding the lowest score of the day with an Hance 18-hole round of 89.

Hance cruised on her first nine holes, shooting a 40 before coming home with a 49.

“First time in a long time we had a team for the Winterset tourney,” Creston/O-M head coach Jan Lesan said. “As the day went on, the wind became stronger and the greens harder. Madison was awesome her first nine holes.

Chipping and putting were great. On the back nine, she only had one real bad hole — the 17th. She focused and came back on the 18th.”

Sophomore Ashton Carter finished t h i r d overall with her round of 91, while senior C a m r y n Carter Somers also finished in the top 10 at sev-

enth with her round of 97.

“Camryn and Ashton both did better their second rounds and adjusted well to the conditions,” Lesan said. “Sophia (Groumoutis) played very consistent golf.”

Groumoutis rounded out the team scoring with her round of 99 to finish 11th overall. Hayley Osmun golfed a 112 and Sadie Green, in her first varsity action, finished the day with a score of 128.

“Hayley played her best golf of the year, breaking 60,” Lesan said. “Sadie’s first high school golf tournament, she played very well and had two consistent rounds.”

Dutch Masters

At Friday’s Dutch Masters in Pella, junior Kyle Somers led the Panther boys with his round of 81.

Gavin Sickels played both the front nine and the back nine in 44 to finish with a round of 88.

Somers finished tied for fourth individually.

Michael Stults shot a 90 and Cody Crawford rounded out the team scoring with his round of 109.

“We got off to a rough start, but the guys regrouped and finished the right way,” Creston/O-M assistant coach Ryan McKim said. “Kyle was right there down the stretch and just had a couple tough holes on 16 and 17. I’m confident he will get it done next time.

“Gavin was steady today. Other than No. 10, he played a really solid round.

Michael got off to a rough start, but played really well on the back nine.”

Panthers clipped twice at Winterset

By LARRY PETERSON tacking, and we got scored one was left open in the CNA senior sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

WINTERSET — Two opponents showed firepower in the first half in taking victories from the Creston boys soccer team at the Winterset Invitational Saturday.

Winterset won the championship over Indianola, 5-1, after knocking off Oskaloosa in the first round, 4-1.

Indianola scored twice in the first half in beating the Panthers, 2-0. Oskaloosa also took a 2-0 lead in the first half in the consolation match. Creston rallied to tie it at 2-2, but the Indians scored the winning goal off a corner kick with seven minutes remaining.

Creston coach Lucian Diaconu said the opening round was a defensive battle.

“We had some shots on goal, but we were down 2-0 at halftime after we were playing with the wind,” said.

“We had one bad clear on defense when they were at-

on that. Their second goal was a hard shot, probably 35 yards right over our keeper’s head and under the cross bar. There was nothing we could do about that one.”

Indianola was in a defensive mode much of the second half and didn’t allow the Panthers to build a successful attack. Travontay Wright’s goal for the Panthers was nullified by an offsides violation.

Oskaloosa scored twice on counter attacks in taking a 2-0 halftime lead in the consolation round.

“We tied the game about seven minutes into the second half,” Diaconu said.

“Henrik Schulz scored on a direct kick by Evan Jacobson. Then, Cole Higgins scored after a throw-in by Jacob Goodson, deflected

by Tay Tay (Wright). Cole was right there to put it in the net. With about seven minutes left they executed a corner kick and we got there too late. Some-

box and they beat us, 3-2.

Defensively, I thought we picked up our play and we just missed a couple of oneon-one breakaways. We left the field with a good feeling about how we played.”

Creston (2-5) is back in action today in a home match against Nodaway Valley.

Matt Campbell brings spark to the Cyclones

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

AMES (AP) — Iowa State knew it was bringing in some much-needed energy when it made Matt Campbell the nation’s youngest Power Five coach.

Campbell has provided the Cyclones with an unmistakable spark in his first few months in Ames.

The 36-year-old wrapped up his first series of workouts Saturday with the program’s annual spring game.

The scrimmage brought out a relatively sizable crowd of over 15,000 eager to see what Campbell had been working on since taking over a team that went 3-9 last season.

“He’s an electric guy. He turned the program around at Toledo and he’s trying to turn us around. He knows what he’s doing,” quarterback Joel Lanning said.

“We’re all just excited for the season and taking it one step at a time with him.”

Though former coach Paul Rhoads was and continues to be a popular figure in Ames, a change at the top was inevitable after a collapse at Kansas State late in 2015 that capped yet another disappointing season.

Campbell, who went 3515 at Toledo, has yet to do anything to suggest the Cyclones made a mistake in hiring such a young guy.

Campbell’s first major win came on signing day, when he brought in Iowa State’s highest-rated class in recent memory despite having just a few months

to do so. Campbell also has the Cyclones ranked among the likes of UCLA, Michigan State and Auburn in the early stages of the recruiting cycle for 2017, suggesting that he might finally be the coach that can overcome Iowa State’s historic lack of a recruiting footprint.

Campbell has also tried to reconnect former players with the program. He brought back past stars like Seneca Wallace, Sage Rosenfels and A.J. Klein, now with the Carolina Panthers, as coaches for Saturday’s scrimmage.

“This spring, I saw a lot of guys buying in and trying to work hard, because we think we can go to a good place with coach Campell and his staff. They’ve bought into what he believes in,” wide receiver Trever Ryen said.

Of course, much of the enthusiasm surrounding the Cyclones will vanish if they drop the season opener to Northern Iowa on

dual. Tonight was the most aggressive I have seen the girls be in singles action.

They were taking advantage of the wind and attacking the net. All of the singles matches were close and it easily could have swayed our way.”

Plymale said Thomsen and Dunphy were particularly effective in moving their opponents and finding their weak- Dunphy nesses.

Taylor, a strong stroker, was matched with a finesse player with a variety of spins on the ball in Jurgensen, and it became a battle of tempo. Jurgensen eventually prevailed in a tightly-contested tiebreaker match.

“When we move into doubles I am always confident,” Plymale said. “It just would have been helpful to have gone into singles tied at 3-3. Ballard is solid again this year and it was a great meet for us early in the season. I know we will see them again in postseason play and we will be ready.”

For playing only the second varsity match of the season, Panther head coach Kevin Cooper thought it was a strong performance.

“They are five meets in now and they are a solid team,” Cooper said. “We let them off the hook in a few singles matches. We have to be more assertive in singles and put the match away when we have that opportunity. I thought Alli and Sydney really stepped up and set the tone in their matches.

But Rhoads said Iowa State had enough talent to reach a bowl game this fall in his final press conference — and he might have been right.

Running back Mike Warren and wide receiver Allen Lazard, who didn’t play Saturday after fracturing his right hand in practice, could be among the best at their positions in the Big 12 next season. The Cyclones also return nine starters on defense, a key in a league with so many high-scoring offenses.

Iowa State’s shot at a bowl bid in 2015 will likely come down to how quickly Campbell and his staff can cobble together an offensive line. The Cyclones lost a combined 111 starts along its line.

“We’ve got pieces. We’ve got makeup,” Campbell said. “It takes a mentally tough, physically tough guy to (play offensive line) every day, and I see the beginning phases of that.”

Average biodiesel blend bought in Iowa reaches 11 percent JOHNSTON — An analysis of a recent Iowa Department of Revenue report shows the average biodiesel blend purchased in Iowa reached 11 percent in 2015, an increase from the 9.4 percent average blend in 2014 and an alltime record.

While still a small percentage of overall fuel sales, Iowans also purchased a record amount of E85 and mid-level ethanol blends in 2015.

Iowa motorists purchased a record 13.1 million gallons (mg) of E85 in 2015, an 8.3 percent increase over 2014, while also purchasing 8.7 mg of mid-level ethanol blends, ranging from E15 to E69, a 121.1 percent increase over 2014. “Despite the lack of Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) targets and the federal biodiesel blenders’ tax credit last year, biodiesel use took a step forward in 2015 increasing the average biodiesel blend purchased in the state to B11,� said Monte Shaw, Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) executive director. “This shows the importance and effectiveness of forward-thinking state-level policies that encourage the use of locally produced, cleaner-burning biodiesel.�

While sales of E10, or fuel containing 10 percent ethanol, held steady, sales of ethanol blends above E10 continued to grow. “While still making up a small portion of overall

gasoline sales, we saw aggressive growth in E15 and mid-level ethanol blend sales in 2015,� Shaw said. “And, despite historically low gasoline prices for a portion of the year, Iowans purchased a record amount of E85. There’s certainly more room to grow, but meaningful growth in higher ethanol blend sales is a win for the state’s economy and environment, as well as Iowans’ pocketbooks.�

On April 1, the Iowa Department of Revenue released its 2015 Retailers Fuel Gallons Annual Report. The Iowa Department of Revenue reported it received filings representing 93.2 percent of fuel locations in Iowa. To view the full report, visit https://tax. iowa.gov/sites/files/idr/2015 Retailers Fuel Gallons Annual Report.pdf.

Iowa is the nation’s leader in renewable fuels production. Iowa has 43 ethanol refineries capable of producing four billion gallons annually, including nearly 55 million gallons of annual cellulosic ethanol production capacity. In addition, Iowa has 12 biodiesel facilities with the capacity to produce nearly 315 million gallons annually.

IRFA was formed in 2002 to represent the state’s liquid renewable fuels industry.

The trade group fosters the development and growth of the renewable fuels industry in Iowa through education, promotion, legislation and infrastructure development.
