Mayor Lybarger announces citywide cleanup

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

Mayor Gary Lybarger has announced that Saturday will be citywide cleanup day in Creston. He is urging property owners to take time to rid their property and neighborhood of trash.

“It will only take you 30 minutes to go through your yard,” Lybarger said. “You will feel better about yourself and the city’s appearance will be better.”

City officials remind property own- Lybarger ers that bulk item pickup is available by calling Waste Management at 641-782-6707. Homeowners should call the company 2 or 3 days in advance of your pickup day for these larger items.

This citywide cleanup is running

in conjunction with the Creston Park and Recreation Department’s McKinley Park cleanup effort on Saturday.

Those interested in helping at the park should meet 8 a.m. at the McKinley Park pool parking lot.

“We will supply gloves and garbage bags,” said John Kawa, chairman of the Creston Park and Recreation Board.

“Participants might want to wear some boots and some old clothes. We hope to get enough people so we can also do McKinley and VFW Kawa ball fields.”

This is at least the seventh year for this event. Kawa said High Lakes Outdoor Alliance will again be trolling the lake for pollutants on Saturday and students from Creston High School and Southwestern Community College are scheduled to clean up the Hurley Creek areas this week.

Kawa said the goal of Saturday is to

get rid of the pollutants before they make it to waterways. Kawa expects cleanup Saturday inside the park will take a couple hours.

In other city council news Tuesday: • The council voted unanimously to enter into an agreement with Sonntag Developments to build condominiums in the Cottonwood Subdivision in Creston. Mike Taylor, city administrator, thanked private developer Don Sonntag following the vote.

“This has taken a long time (1 1/2 years),” Taylor said, “and I thank Don and Dave for sticking with us on this project.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate approved a wide-ranging energy bill Wednesday that would promote a variety of energy sources and speed federal approval of projects to export liquefied natural gas to Europe and Asia.

Senators backed the measure, 85 to 12, the first ambitious energy bill approved by the Senate in nearly a decade.

The bill would boost renewables such as solar and wind power, as well as natural gas, hydropower and geothermal energy. It also would update building codes to increase efficiency, strengthen electric-grid safety standards and reauthorize a half-billion dollar conservation fund that protects parks and other public lands.

The bill now must be reconciled with a House-passed version that boosts fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas. President Barack Obama has threatened to veto the House measure.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican and chairwoman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said the bill will help America produce more energy “and bring us one step closer to

being an energy superpower. At the same time, it will help Americans save more money and save energy with all of the energy-policy provisions.”

Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington state, the senior Democrat on the energy panel, called energy “the lifeblood of our economy,” adding that the Senate bill would help businesses and consumers get more affordable, cleaner and renewable energy.

The bipartisan bill is widely popular, but was delayed in early February amid a partisan dispute over a plan

by Michigan’s two Democratic senators to send hundreds of millions of dollars in emergency aid to Flint to fix and replace the city’s lead-contaminated pipes.

Sens. Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters dropped the Flint provision last week after a months-long standoff with Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah.

Stabenow and Peters said they would seek another way to get the Flint aid package through the Senate.

Congress last approved broad energy measures in 2005 and 2007, during the George W. Bush administration. The two laws aimed to BILL | 2A

Equine herpes forces racehorse quarantine at Nebraska track GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Hundreds of racehorses have been quarantined at Fonner Park in Grand Island because three of them tested positive for equine herpes.

One of the horses has been euthanized, but the remaining two are getting better with treatment, the Nebraska Agriculture Department said.

Fonner CEO Bruce Swihart said officials became aware of the sickness Sunday evening and that he doesn’t know how the horses contracted the virus. They’d been at Fonner for a couple of months. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames, Iowa, evaluated nasal swabs and blood samples from the three horses to confirm the disease.

Swihart said 750 to 850 horses at Fonner Park can’t leave until the minimum 21-day quarantine is lifted.

Fonner will continue racing through May 7, but the 150 or so horses in the same barn as the three that tested positive won’t be allowed to race.

toring horses that arrived from Fonner Park within the past week.

The virus cannot be spread to humans or other animals, but it can be transferred to other horses through boots, buckets, clothes, feed, tack or alternative means. Symptoms of the disease include fever, decreased coordination, hind limb weakness, leaning against a wall to maintain balance, lethargy and the inability to rise.

“It is of utmost importance that horse owners and facility managers take appropriate precautions to prevent the spread of this disease,” said Nebraska State Veterinarian Dennis Hughes in a news release.

Several tracks have encountered the equine herpes virus during the past year. Four horses died at Parx Racing in Pennsylvania and an outbreak in January forced Sunland Park in New Mexico to stop racing for more than a month.

Horses were also quarantined at training facilities in Texas and at Turf Paradise in Arizona.

Nebraska Horse Racing Commission Director Tom Sage declined to comment.

boost U.S. energy independence by cutting reliance on imported oil, boosting fuel economy standards for cars and imposing a mandate for ethanol in gasoline.

Since then, the U.S. energy landscape has changed dramatically, as improved drilling techniques, including hydraulic fracturing, have sparked a years-long boom that has pushed the United States toward become the world’s top producer of oil and natural gas. Hydraulic fracturing, also known

as fracking, involves injecting water mixed with sand and chemicals into underground rock formations, allowing oil and gas to flow.

The Senate bill includes a long-delayed energy efficiency measure that includes incentives to cut energy use in commercial buildings, manufacturing plants and homes. The measure, co-sponsored

by Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Rob Portman, R-Ohio, has passed the Senate before but has not been approved in the House.

Murkowski and Cantwell said they were confident that Senate and House negotiators would agree on a compromise bill this year.

Dig at Malcolm X home in Boston turns up evidence of 1700s settlement BOSTON (AP) — An archaeological dig at the boyhood home of Malcolm X in Boston has turned up some surprising findings, but they’re unrelated to the early life of the slain civil rights activist.

City archaeologist Joseph Bagley said this week that researchers digging outside the 2 ½-story home have found kitchenware, ceramics and other evidence of a settlement dating to the 1700s that they hadn’t expected to find. “We’ve come onto a whole layer, roughly 2 feet down and across the whole site, that’s absolutely filled with stuff from the period,â€? he said. “So we have this whole new research question, which is: What the heck was going on here in the 18th century?â€?

Rodnell Collins, a nephew of Malcolm X’s who grew up in the house with him, says the findings reveal a richer story than he ever knew. “It’s fantastic and enlightening. This is the history of Boston,� he said. “It’s a terrific educational opportunity, and that’s what this family is all about. That’s what Uncle Malcolm was about.�

The two-week dig, which began March 29, was meant to shine a light on Malcolm X’s formative years in Boston, as well as the home’s previous owners, an Irish immigrant family who lived there through the Great Depression. But it was halted last week because of bad weather. It will resume May 16.

City records show the house was built in 1874 on

what Bagley and his team had assumed was farmland.

But their early findings suggest there likely was another house on or near the site, dating to Colonial times.

Researchers also have found a small stone piece that may date to Native American tribes that once inhabited the city. But it’s too early to tell how old the fragment is and whether it is Native American in origin. A closer examination will be undertaken later.

What has been found so far from Malcolm X’s time in Boston — broken dishes, bits of jewelry, toys and a record — likely come from when the home was vandalized in the 1970s and items were tossed haphazardly into the yard, Bagley says.

Collins is eager to see what the next phase of the dig turns up.

His mother, Ella Little-Collins, became legal guardian to Malcolm X — then known as Malcolm Little — after his father died and his mother was committed to a mental institution.

The family still owns the vacant and badly deteriorated house and hopes to renovate it for public tours and other uses.

It’s the last surviving residence from Malcolm X’s time as a teenager and young adult living in Boston’s historically black Roxbury neighborhood during the 1940s. “This takes me back to my childhood,� Collins said. “So many memories.

They should be shared.�

FBI: Using third parties to break encryption not the only answer The FBI is increasingly struggling to access readable information and evidence from digital devices due to default encryption. â–

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI is facing an increasing struggle to access readable information and evidence from digital devices because of default encryption, a senior FBI official told members of Congress at a hearing Tuesday.

Amy Hess said that of the cell phones the FBI seized in the last six months as part of investigations, officials encountered passwords about 30 percent of the time and had “no capability� to access information “around 13 percent of that time.� “We have seen those numbers continue to increase, and clearly that presents us with a challenge,� said Hess, the executive assistant director of the FBI’s science and

Every

technology branch.

In her testimony to a subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Hess defended the Justice Department’s use of a still-unidentified third party to break into the locked iPhone used by one of the two San Bernardino, California, attackers. But she said the reliance on an outside entity represented just “one potential solution� and that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach for recovering evidence off a locked device. She said she did not think that path should be the sole solution for breaking open phones. “These solutions are very case-by-case specific,� she said. “They may not work in all instances.

They’re very dependent upon the fragility of the systems, the vulnerabilities we might find,� she said, adding that cooperation between the government, academia and private industry was needed to come up with more solutions.

Asked about the FBI’s reliance on a third party to get into the phone, and its inability to access the device on its own, Hess said

the work requires “a lot of highly skilled specialized resources that we may not have immediately available to us.� “We live in such an advanced age of technology development. And to keep up with that, we do require the services of specialized skills that we can only get through private industry,� she said.

Representatives from local law enforcement agencies echoed Hess’s concerns. Thomas Galati, chief of the intelligence bureau at the New York Police Department, said officials there have been unable to break open 67 Apple devices for investigations in 44 different violent crimes — including 10 homicide cases.

Still, despite anxieties over “going dark,� a February report from the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University said the situation was not as dire as law enforcement had been warning about and

and the technology industry, know how to protect your information is through the use of strong encryption. Strong encryption is a good thing, it is a necessary thing. And the government agrees,�

Sewell testified. “Encryption today is the backbone of our cybersecurity infrastructure and provides the very best defense we have against increasingly hostile attacks,� he added.

In response to questions raised at the hearing, Sewell said that the Chinese government had asked Apple for its source code within the last two

years — and that Apple declined.

The long-simmering dispute escalated in February after a judge in California directed Apple to help the FBI break into the phone used by Syed Farook, who along with his wife killed 14 people in San Bernardino on Dec. 2 before dying in a shootout with police.

The Justice Department last month said a third party had approached it with a way into the phone, effectively ending that court case.

Another legal fight over a phone in a separate drug case is still pending in Brooklyn.

that investigators were not “headed to a future in which our ability to effectively surveil criminals and bad actors is impossible.�

The hearing comes amid an ongoing dispute between law enforcement and Silicon Valley about how to balance consumer privacy against the desire by police and federal agents to recover communications and eavesdrop on suspected terrorists and criminals. It also comes as the Senate considers a bill that would effectively prohibit unbreakable encryption and require companies to help the government access data on a computer or mobile device when a warrant is issued.

Bruce Sewell, Apple’s general counsel who also testified, touted the importance of encryption particularly in light of devastating breaches of sensitive government information — including at the IRS and the Office of Personnel Management. “The best way that we,

Southern Prairie YMCA hosting baseball competition during annual Healthy Kids Day On Saturday, April 30, the Southern Prairie YMCA is holding a free community event to inspire more kids to keep their minds and bodies active. Healthy Kids Day will be held at the Y from 1 to 4 p.m. This year marks the 25th annual YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day, the Y’s national initiative to improve health and well-being for kids and families. The local event features swimming, healthy snacks and a Pitch Hit and Run competition.

YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day, celebrated at over 1,300 Y’s across the country by more than 1.2 million participants, works to get more kids moving and learning, creating habits that they continue all summer long, which is a critical time for kids’ health. When kids are out of school, they can face hurdles that prevent them from reaching their full potential. Research shows that without access to out-of-school physical and learning activities kids fall behind academically. Kids also gain weight twice as fast during summer than the school year. As spring turns to summer, Healthy Kids Day is a powerful reminder not to let children idle away their summer days. Instead, the Y hopes to focus on wowing them with their potential and make this their best summer ever by staying active and learning.

“The Y believes in the potential of all children, and we strive to help kids find the “wow” factor inside themselves. A child’s development is never on vacation and Healthy Kids Day

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, April 20, 2016

Obama’s trillion-dollar nuclear arms trainwreck STANFORD, Calif. — “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.”

These were the words from the Hindu religious text, the Bhagavad-Gita, that flashed through the mind of the man credited with creating the first atomic bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer, as the first nuclear explosion in history lit up the dark desert sky at the Trinity blast site in New Mexico on July 16, 1945.

Weeks after that, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, then Nagasaki, killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, and thrust the world into the atomic age. Since then, humanity has lived with the terrible prospect of nuclear war and mass annihilation.

Conventional wisdom holds that the likelihood that these unconventional weapons will be used has decreased since the end of the so-called Cold War. That perception has been challenged lately, especially since President Barack Obama announced a 30-year, $1 trillion program to modernize the U.S. nuclear-weapon arsenal.

Secretary of State John Kerry vis-

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

ited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum on Monday, the first sitting U.S. secretary of state to visit the site.

Kerry was in Japan for a meeting of the G-7 nations.

In his public remarks at the memorial, Kerry offered no apology for the nuclear attacks. He did say, though, that the museum “was a reminder of the depth of obligation that every single one of us in public life carries — in fact, every person in position of responsibility carries — to work for peace ... to create and pursue a world free from nuclear weapons.”

Despite the lofty rhetoric, President Obama has launched what the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability calls the “Trillion Dollar Trainwreck.” That is the title of a new report on Obama’s massive plan to modernize the U.S. nuclear-weapons arsenal, to be released next Monday.

Marylia Kelley is one of the report’s authors.

She serves as executive director of Tri-Valley CAREs, or Communities Against a Radioactive Environment, a partner organization with the Alliance. Of Kerry’s visit to Hiroshima, Kelley said, on the “Democracy Now!” news hour, “Kerry went empty-handed. The United States needs to go with a concrete plan to roll back its own nuclear-weapons program.

You cannot preach abstinence, in terms of nuclear weapons, from the biggest bar stool in the room.”

“The United States is initiating a new nuclear arms race, because the other nuclear-armed states, of course, when they look at our ‘modernization program,’ are now beginning their own,” she told us. “We need this to be rolled back.” Kelley lives in Livermore, California, home to one of the U.S. government’s national laboratories dedicated to developing and manufacturing nuclear bombs.

President Obama delivered his first address on the U.S. nuclear arsenal on April 5, 2009, in Prague: “To-

day, the Cold War has disappeared but thousands of those weapons have not. In a strange turn of history, the threat of global nuclear war has gone down, but the risk of a nuclear attack has gone up. More nations have acquired these weapons. Testing has continued. Black-market trade in nuclear secrets and nuclear materials abound,” he said.

As with his pledge to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, his pledge to move the U.S. toward nuclear disarmament seems to have been abandoned. Grass-roots groups in the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability would like to see Obama make an historic trip to Hiroshima, as the first sitting U.S. president to do so. “If Obama goes to Hiroshima,” Marylia Kelley said, “he needs to use that as an opportunity, not to speak empty promises and rhetoric about an eventual world free of nuclear weapons, but to make concrete proposals about how the United States is going to take steps in that direction and how we’re going to change course, because right now we’re taking giant steps in the opposite direc-

tion.”

The U.S. nuclear arsenal, and all the expense, nuclear waste and immense danger it continuously poses, has received almost no attention in the U.S. presidential debates. The day after he launched his campaign in late May 2015, Sen. Bernie Sanders was asked about the trillion-dollar nuclear-arsenal upgrade at a town hall in New Hampshire.

“What all of this is about is our national priorities,” he replied.

“Who are we as a people? Does Congress listen to the military-industrial complex, who has never seen a war that they didn’t like? Or do we listen to the people of this country who are hurting?”

In 1946, the year after Trinity, after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Albert Einstein, whose theory of relativity gave birth to the atomic bomb, offered a warning to the world that remains starkly relevant today: “The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe.”

Johnny Manziel trashes West Hollywood rental HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The L.A. Times reported scores of movie stars registered with the American Independent Party thinking they’re Independents not knowing it’s an old all-white segregationist party. How could they have known? They thought they were joining the official party of the Motion Picture Academy.

The Coachella Rock Music Festival was held last weekend in the Imperial Desert of Southern California and headlined by Guns and Roses. It’s a huge rock concert before an upscale crowd. Bernie Sanders made an appearance at Coachella, either that or Axel Rose really hasn’t aged too well.

Johnny Manziel and his pals trashed a house they rented in West Hollywood to party over the weekend, prompting a lawsuit by the landlord. Reaction was swift. Betty Ford’s just traded up so that they can select Johnny Manziel in the June draft ahead of Promises Malibu and Forest Lawn.

Most Blessed of the Patriarchs is a new biography of Thomas Jefferson by Harvard’s Annette Gordon-Reed which dwells on his moral ambiguity. He wrote that all men are created equal, then fifty years later he freed his slaves in his will.

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Never think other countries don’t tell jokes about Americans.

The Supreme Court heard the case Monday challenging President Obama’s power to declare four million illegal aliens to be in the U.S. legally. It’s a precedent-setting case.

If illegal aliens are awarded citizenship, the next thing you know, drug dealers will want to be given pharmacist licenses.

The Environmental Protection Agency ruled Thursday that the water in Flint, Michigan is still unfit for humans to drink. The world has flipped over in my lifetime. Baby Boomers can remember when the Buicks were made in Flint, Michigan and it was the water in Mexico that was undrinkable.

Bernie Sanders fans threw dollar bills at Hillary Clinton’s motorcade as it drove her to George Clooney’s house for a Hollywood fundraiser Saturday. They acted as if Hillary was performing in a strip club. If this disgraceful act doesn’t get her the nomination it’s certain to spice up her marriage.

Bigotry, racism face the vote The wild and rude boy that Donald J. Trump has ostentatiously pretended to be is perhaps starting to crack. That’s the latest claim being made about the candidate called the front-runner by the media — the one assessed as a hustler by Sen. Marco Rubio when “little Marco” was in the televised debates trying to bring him down, with all the vulgarity short of usually four-letter words.

Rubio may have lost that race after being rolled over by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, but he is still holding on to his delegates, and may still maintain hostility toward the front-runner.

From the very beginning, Rubio was intent on sending “the Donald” down, spinning out to the land of the lost, meaning Republican citizens who feel left out by the GOP’s Washington establishment.

It is clear that there were far too many attempts by the establishment to block everything proposed by the White House, itself an enemy of the Confederate bigots mostly posing as conservatives but fooling only those most willing to be taken for a doomed ride on a wagon laden with muddy muck.

Another group not given to supporting the weight of Trump’s image is the bad-news blues of women, fiercely growing tired of being used in the interest of fighting or defeating one man in favor

King Features commentary Stanley Crouch

of another. Trump attributes all of these blues as being the result of unfair media coverage that has focused on negative soot in an already soot-filled GOP trail.

The establishment was intent on lobbing fatal mud on the Donald’s campaign. But a “Stop Trump” voting bloc did not take on importance until the force of female voting began. It now has the effect of a slow fall on the record books.

Washington Post columnist David Ignatius says that viewers and readers have become accustomed to the elusive texture of purported “facts” bleeding out from Trump and rival Sen. Ted Cruz, both of whom are far ahead of Gov. John Kasich — the last man in the GOP presidential rush that began with 17 contestants but has vengefully winnowed down after many arguments.

Both Cruz and Trump want Kasich, who has won only his home state of Ohio during the primaries, to drop out so the conflict would become one-on-one. Of course, Trump assures his followers that there is only one Republican capable and clever enough to put Hillary Clinton in the rest

home of failed candidates.

Once upon a time, it was easy for Trump to be believed, but no longer. Cruz whipped him by double digits in Wisconsin and began to have what was once known as “Big Fun” on the concrete sidewalks of a city like New York, which is a town unlike all others.

But neither Trump nor Cruz speaks highly of diverse ethnicity and the range of skin tones, from buck white to blue black -- and all the colors arriving in the wake of “race-mixing.” Trump has often resorted to what is known as the blowing of dog whistles — giving the impression that bigotry and racism are all right with him.

Even so, Trump got by in the campaign for longer than expected. Only his most die-hard followers are so satisfied with his omnidirectional rants that are too spontaneous to call his standard talk on the stage.

That might be his downfall, as seen by his failure with female voters, who can never be thought of as following the thoughts of any braggart willing to praise himself as though no one else can do a good-enough praise song — not good enough to satisfy him.

It all comes down to satisfaction — and satisfaction will have final effects. American satisfaction keeps working free of bigotry and racism. That’s why both are in big trouble, and, for now, voting will do the job.

Adair County Soil and Water Conservation seeking commissioners

Contributed photo

Union County 4-H’ers, from left, Bryson Raney, Milo Staver and Jack Walter work together to read and understand a feed label during Wednesday’s FSQA training at SWCC.

Area 4-H’ers participate in FSQA training program Nearly 150 4-H youth from three counties converged on the Southwestern Community College (SWCC) campus in Creston to complete the annual, required Food Safety Quality Assurance (FSQA) training.

The goal of this FSQA program is to help youth and their parents better understand what they can do to produce the safest food possible. Iowa 4-H’ers produce more than 17 million pounds

of meat each year, which all goes into the American food supply. All 4-H’ers across the state of Iowa who plan to exhibit “food” animals at the county and state level are required to become FSQA certified each year.

For the past three years, Union County has formed a partnership with both Adair and Clarke counties to host two FSQA trainings for the 4-H’ers. The training is organized by the county 4-H

staff which consists of Haley Jones with Union County, Donna Wallace from Adair County and Jennifer Miler with Clarke County.

“We collaborate with several SWCC students and the Union County Youth Beef Team each year to help us put on the training. They lead all five of the stations,” said Jones, Union County youth and outreach coordinator.

The five stations cov-

er three “good production practices,” a nutrition station and a farm tour. Each year, the “good production practices” to be covered in each county are determined at the state 4-H level. The practices covered this year included biosecurity, ethics and feed additives. The 4-H’ers get the opportunity to rotate from station to station every 15 minutes, participate in a hands-on activity at each station and go on a farm tour.

GREENFIELD – Are you excited about the great outdoors and do you appreciate the beauty of the countryside? Are you interested in preserving the land for future generations? Would you be fully committed to serving on a board to make decisions regarding the conservation of soil, water and other natural resources?

The terms of three Adair County Soil and Water Conservation District Commissioners, Randy Caviness of Greenfield (Lee Township), Tad Day of Stuart (Grove Township), and Jim Frederick of Orient (Orient Township) will expire Jan. 2, 2017.

Successors will be elected at the general election on Nov. 8, 2016.

Any qualified elector residing in the soil and water conservation district, which is all of Adair County including cities and towns, is eligible for the office of commissioner, except that no more than one commissioner may be a resident of any one township. Incumbent commissioners are Arvid Evans of Orient (Washington Township) and Matt Fagan of Adair (Summit Township); therefore, residents of these townships would not be eligible for office at this time.

Prospective candidates

seeking the office of soil and water conservation district commissioner must file nomination petitions in the same manner as for other elective positions at the general election, except that no political party is designated.

Nomination petitions can be obtained at the courthouse from the Adair County Auditor, the USDA Building from the Adair SWCD/NRCS Office or downloaded from the Secretary of State’s Website at https://www. sos.state.ia.gov/elections/ auditors/auditorslist.html.

These petitions, signed by 25 eligible electors, must be filed with the County Auditor at the Adair County Courthouse no later than 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 31.

Individuals elected in November 2016 will serve a term of four years commencing Jan. 2, 2017. Soil and water conservation district commissioners serve without salary and guide the overall soil and water conservation program in the county. For further information pertaining to the responsibilities of a commissioner, contact the Adair County Soil and Water Conservation District office, 705 N.E. Sixth St., Ste. E, in Greenfield, telephone 641-343-7033, ext. 3.

is thinking as he communicates his thoughts to Nelson-Schmidt, who then relays them to the students.

She teaches children to avoid the negative “whatifs” and to think positively.

“I thought, ‘There is still a lesson to be learned from the What-if Monster. Why don’t I let him come to life and teach that lesson himself?’” Nelson-Schmidt said.

While “Jonathan James and the What-If Monster” is geared toward children, Nelson-Schmidt said it deals with two emotions everyone can relate to – fear and anxiety. Nelson-Schmidt says students will not only have fun but also will be inspired.

“My presentation has a lot to do with hard work, perseverance and following your dreams,” Nelson-Schmidt said. “I love what I do, and I want to encourage everyone I meet to find his or her special and unique talent whatever it may be and go after it with everything you’ve got.

The world needs you too.”

Sealed with a stain Dear Heloise: I cover almost everything not on display (crystal bowls, platters, ice buckets, etc.) with PLASTIC WRAP. It keeps them clean and ready to use, especially if it’s used only occasionally. It’s a breeze to pull out wanted items without having to clean or polish.

Here is the problem: I’ve started using self-sealing plastic wrap, which I love for everyday use. I was horrified when I unwrapped my seasonal items to find that the adhesive was stuck, and it stained almost all of the pieces. Vinegar and sometimes rubbing alcohol helped, but not always.

I still swear by covering things in plastic wrap – just don’t use anything with adhesive! – Cathy N., Coto De Caza, Calif.

Cathy, love your hint, and it’s one I use, too. Lots of readers use plastic wrap to cover items, so your warning is a good one. Thank you. Try this to remove that sticky adhesive: cooking oil.

Spray or cover the areas, then scrub with a plastic scrubbie and wash with lots of HOT water. That should do it! – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise

Horoscope For Thursday, April 21, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today’s Full Moon very likely will bring financial issues to a head. Now you will have to decide whether it’s time to hold or time to fold.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. That’s why you might feel increased tension with partners and close friends. Patience is your best ally today.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The Full Moon today might create tension with co-workers.

Look beyond today’s tension, and demonstrate grace under pressure.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today you feel the classic tugof-war between trying to keep home and family happy versus trying to keep your job and career happy. You can’t do both. (This time, you can’t ignore your job.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be careful, because this is an accident-prone day due to the heightened Full Moon energy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Even though there

are external demands on you today, you cannot ignore the demands of home and family.

This feeling of being caught in a tug-of-war is due to the Full Moon today.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Do what you can to avoid accidents today, because the Full Moon energy is distracting.

Stay focused and mindful of everything you say and do.

YOU BORN TODAY You are a caring person, with your finger on the pulse of the public.

You appreciate beauty and harmony in your daily world. This year you have something valuable to learn. Fear not -- it might not be apparent in the first half of the year, but soon, your efforts of the past six years will manifest results! Expect your well-earned rewards soon.

Sixth man LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jamal Crawford needs to make more room at home for another trophy.

The 36-year-old Los Angeles Clippers guard won the NBA’s Sixth Man Award on Tuesday, becoming the first three-time winner as the league’s best reserve. Two years ago, he was the oldest to receive the honor.

Crawford received 51 first-place votes and 341 points from a panel of 130 sports writers and broadcasters in the U.S. and Canada.

NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala of Golden State finished second with 288 points (33 first-place votes), and Oklahoma City’s Enes Kanter was third with 182 points (19 firstplace votes).

Crawford averaged 14.2 points in 79 games, coming off the bench in 74 of them. He ranked second in the NBA in free throw percentage at 90 percent.

Rough start ATLANTA (AP) — Shaking off a dismal performance in the playoff opener, Kyle Korver swished four 3-pointers in the opening minutes to propel Atlanta to a stunning 21-point lead before many fans had settled into their seats Tuesday night. There wasn’t much doubt after that, the Hawks cruising to an 89-72 victory over Boston and a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference series.

“We all have pride, right?” said Korver, who went 1 of 10 on Saturday and missed all seven of his 3-point attempts. “I wanted to come out and play better the second game.”

As good as Korver and the Hawks were in the early going, this one will be remembered more for the Celtics’ grisly start. They scored just seven points over the first 12 minutes, the lowest-scoring opening quarter in a playoff game since the NBA went to a shot clock in 1954.

Severing ties (AP) — Drew Rosenhaus has dropped Johnny Manziel as a client.

Last week, Rosenhaus told the troubled quarterback to seek help or he will no longer represent him. On Tuesday, the powerful agent removed his name as Manziel’s representative.

Rosenhaus, whose clientele is among the largest in the NFL, represented Manziel for only a few weeks. Rosenhaus has been an agent for 27 years, and this is the first time he’s terminated a contract with a player.

In February, Manziel’s first agent, Erik Burkhardt, said he severed his ties with the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner so Manziel could get help.

Nike confirmed Tuesday that it no longer has an endorsement deal with Manziel.

GRIMES — Creston head girls track coach Clay Arnold spent the majority of Tuesday night’s Fillie Invitational here in disbelief.

His team kept getting smoked in events. And then he would look at his stopwatch.

“We ran a ton of PRs and season’s bests and got smoked in a lot of races,” he said. “I don’t know how many times I looked at my watch thinking that was really slow based on where we finished and was surprised to see good times. We were really happy to see that kind of competition.”

Creston finished fourth in the team standings with 99 points, as host Dallas Center-Grimes ran away with the team title scoring 147 points.

Arnold called it the best competition his team has seen all season. And it helped carry his team to fast times.

Freshman Brielle Baker continued her hot streak on the track, setting three PRs and just missing another by a second.

Baker led off Creston’s second-place 4x800 relay team with a PR split of 2:27.03. Taylor Briley, Jesse Vicker and Jami Sickels rounded out the silver-medal relay, which ran 10:19.11.

With it being a one-class meet that moved along quickly — running events took less than three hours to complete — there was not much recovery time for athletes.

That didn’t seem to bother Baker, who came back with a second-place finish in the

800 meters to ADM senior Brianna Mueller. Mueller ran 2:19.54, with Baker running 2:26.97, another PR. “We’ve challenged her in several meets and she’s always risen to the occasion,” Arnold said. “We were going to challenge her again. We knew Mueller from ADM would be up there. We wanted to keep her in sight on the first lap. Ran a 69.5 opening lap and ended up PRing in 2:26.97.”

Just minutes later, Baker finished third in the 1,500 meters, finishing just one second off her PR time which she set at last week’s home meet.

“Baker got third, ran 5:14, less than a second off her PR she ran last week, with hardly any recovery time,” Arnold said.

The night wasn’t over for Baker yet, as she once again came back on short rest to run a new PR split in the

4x400 relay.

The Panthers finished a distant third in the 4x400, but ran a 5-second season’s best of 4:17.63 in the event.

“Vicker hadn’t had a great night in her 800s. I told her, ‘you’ve got to get out in this first leg and give these other girls a shot,’” Arnold said.

“Her previous PR was 65.46 and she ran a 63.77, really closed well at the end there, which we had to have.”

Stephanie Hemsworth ran

a 1:04.76 split on her second leg, Baker ran her third PR of the night in 1:04.28 and Briley anchored in 1:04.50.

“Our previous season best was 4:22.33 at Glenwood,” Arnold said. “We cut almost 5 seconds off and just got destroyed. Every race I’d be like, ‘oh man!’ when I saw how we finished and then I’d look at the clock and be happy with the time.”

Amber Castillo won the 100 meter hurdles in 16.69 seconds and took fifth place in the 200 meter dash at 28.07. Castillo The distance medley relay team of Josie Sickels, Kiersten Latham, Saige Rice and Jessica Beatty finished second, thanks to season’s bests from Sickels and Latham and PR splits from Rice and Beatty.

Danielle Castillo ran a big PR of 1:10.19 in the 400 meter dash to finish sixth. Beatty snuck in for eighth place in the 1,500 meters. Rachel Shepherd finished fourth in the 400 meter hurdles out of the slow heat with her PR time of 1:15.36.

The Panthers received a lift in the field events with the return of state qualifier Breanna Wallace.

Wallace, who had been out with various injuries this season, finished third in the high jump, clearing 4-10.

Iowa State freshman Katie Dukes (left) and South Dakota senior Madison Frain (right) participated in Tuesday’s doubleheader between the two teams at the Cyclone Sports Complex. Dukes appeared as a pinch runner in game two and stole a base. Frain was the starting pitcher in game one for the Coyotes, taking the decision in a 10-7 loss. She allowed five earned runs with two strikeouts and two walks. For more on the two local players in the doubleheader, see Thursday’s News Advertiser.

Panther tennis teams dominate Clarinda

HUXLEY — The Creston boys track team went into Tuesday’s Ballard Classic shorthanded, but the throwers picked up the slack for the team.

Senior Cooper McDermott, who had hoped to lower his time in the 1,600 meters for Drake Relays qualifying, missed the meet after being diagnosed with mononucleosis and is out indefinitely.

That left Creston coach Pat Schlapia scrambling to adjust his lineup on the bus ride to Huxley.

Creston left six events open and the 4x400 relay team was disqualified because of a false start.

The Panthers finished sixth in the six-team field, scoring 29 points. The Panthers scored 19 of those points in the throwing events.

Sophomore Trevor Downing finished second in both the shot put and the discus.

Downing threw a season’s best of 42 feet, 5 inches in the shot put and launched Downing a throw of 123-2 in the discus.

Cody Tanner threw a personal best of 40-8.50 in the shot put for fifth place and junior Colton Bolinger fin-

ished sixth in the discus at 104-5.

“That was awesome getting 19 points out of those two events,” Schlapia said.

“Coach Steve Birchard has done a great job with the throwers. That got us off to a good start.”

On the track, Creston junior Chase Shiltz ran a PR of 23.73 in the 200 meter dash to finish third.

Creston/O-M tennis teams dominated Clarinda in competition Tuesday that was delayed by weather on Monday.

Creston/O-M won the girls match at the Southwestern courts, 8-1, after sweeping all six singles matches.

The Panther boys, meanwhile, improved to 3-0 for the season with a 9-0 shutout. Creston/O-M held a 73-31 scoring advantage in games played at the varsity level.

Creston/O-M girls (2-1) took No. 1 doubles and No. 3 doubles after breezing to the six singles victories in perfect conditions, assistant coach Amanda Plymale said.

“Tonight was finally a meet with no wind!” Plymale said. “We were able to roll through singles by holding our serve and placing our

with the 6-0 lead, I think we were a little bit too relaxed, which gave their No. 2 team the upper hand. Our doubles were still competitive, though, and we came away with two wins. We have lost to Clarinda in the past years with not having our full lineup due to other school activities. It was nice to have all of our girls tonight to show our full strength.”

Likewise, head coach Kevin Cooper was pleased with the boys team’s dominant win.

“It was great to get out and play again after a week off,” Cooper said. “We got rained out last night, so we were happy to get in it tonight. Our boys kept rolling along over a rebuilding Clarinda team. The team is playing with a lot of confidence right now. All three of our doubles teams looked solid TENNIS | 9A

Panthers score late in 3-1 road loss

By LARRY PETERSON trating night for her team Logan Pettit and Devon CNA senior sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

CHARITON — Junior Carlie Schaeffer scored three goals as Chariton defeated the Creston girls Tuesday night, 3-1.

The Chargers scored all three goals in the first half.

Creston got on the board with about 12 minutes left after a handball was ruled against Chariton in the box.

“It was called a foul and indirect kick for us,” Creston coach Kim Lauffer said. “ T h e y built a wall, Becca Ross played it to Grace Root, and G r a c e stuck it in Root the net.”

Lauffer said it was a frus-

that showed good effort.

“The fouls that weren’t called, the handballs that should have been called before one finally was, those were things that weren’t helping us,” Lauffer said.

“But what beat us was their speed. Time after time they got past our defenders and into a one-on-one with the goalie. They had one super fast girl on defense that shut us down several times.”

Deni Lawrence had two assists for Chariton (3-3).

Root finished with three of Creston’s eight shots, including two on goal. One of the team’s leading scorers, Taylor Buxton, suffered an ankle injury for Creston (14) and could be questionable for Tuesday’s match at second-ranked Lewis Central (5-1).

Also out with injury was midfielder Maddie Travis.

Buls were involved in State FFA activities, so the Panther lineup was operating shorthanded in Tuesday’s match. Goalkeeper Leah Schuler had 13 saves, including 10 in the first half before the Panther defense halted the number of attacks in the second half.

Becca Ross was goalkeeper in the 30-minute JV contest, which ended in a 1-0 Chariton victory.

Chariton 3, Creston 1 Creston (1) — Grace Root (Becca Ross assist), 68 minutes. Shots (on goal) — 8 (6 on goal). Individual shots (on goal)— Grace Root 3 (2), Kalan Bloodgood 2 (1), Taylor Buxton 1, Shelby Palser 1 (1), Becca Ross 1 (1). Keeper saves — Leah Schuler 13.

Sports briefs New coach MASON CITY — Creston native Nicole Hunter, a fourthg r a d e teacher at Roosevelt Elementary in Mason City, was named T u e s d a y Hunter as the new M a s o n City High School head volleyball coach.

Hunter is a 2009 graduate of Creston High School and attended Southwestern

AREA | 10A

Community College, where she garnered all-conference honors in volleyball before graduating from Iowa State.

Hunter was also a 2009 state track and field champion in the Class 3A 100 hurdles (14.90) and is the 33inch 100 hurdles school record-holder. (Meghin Krambeck holds the record for the 30-inch hurdles, which were discontinued in 2008.)

“Education and athletics have been a great passion for many years,” Hunter said in a news release.

Hunter takes over for Randy Lewis, who was the Mohawks’ head coach for

nine years. Mason City finished 8-25 in 2015.

excited to get Breanna Wallace in a meet,” Arnold said.

“She hadn’t jumped all season due to various injuries.

She’d only practiced a couple of days. Got third and jumped 4-10 and looked really good doing it, which made all of us feel good.”

Hannah Hood won the shot put with a throw of 37-6.50 and finished fifth in the discus.

Cammy R u t h e r - Hood ford threw a PR of 3011.50 in the JV shot put for first place.

Creston travels to Carroll on Thursday for the Carroll Co-ed Meet, which will be the final chance for Drake Relays qualifying.

As of press time, Amber Castillo’s season best of 16.22 sat 31st in the state in the 100 meter hurdles, with the top 32 qualifying for Drake Relays. Hood’s mark of 39-8.50 in the shot put appears safely in at 15th in the state (top 24 qualify), but Arnold said he’d like to see a season’s best out of Hood.

The Panther 4x100 relay is also in the mix, but needs to improve its time.

Tarasenko, St. Louis beat Chicago 4-3 in Game 4

By JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer

CHICAGO (AP) — The lessons were difficult and painful. Three straight years of regular-season success for St. Louis, followed by playoff failure.

The Blues learned. They persevered, and they are roaring right now.

Vladimir Tarasenko scored on two dazzling wrist shots, Brian Elliott made 39 saves and St. Louis beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 on Tuesday night to open a commanding 3-1 lead in their first-round playoff series.

“We just have a belief that we can beat anybody,” Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said.

Jaden Schwartz scored a tiebreaking power-play goal in the third period for the second straight game as St. Louis moved one step closer to advancing to the second round for the first time since 2012. The Blues looked ready for deep playoff runs in each of the last three seasons only to be eliminated in

the opening series each time.

Game 5 is Thursday night in St. Louis.

“There’s a good feeling that we’re more cohesive and playing for each other and doing the right things all over the ice than we ever had in this locker room,” captain David Backes said, “and that bodes well for our group.”

Duncan Keith had two goals for Chicago, which dropped consecutive home playoff games for the first time since 2012. Andrew Shaw had a goal and two assists, and Corey Crawford finished with 16 saves after getting into a fight with Blues rookie Robby Fabbri during a wild second period.

Shaw was sent off for interference at 17:56 of the third, hurting Chicago’s chance for a comeback. While sitting in the penalty box, it looked as if Shaw directed a gay slur toward someone on the ice, and a gay rights group affiliated with the NHL said it planned to reach out to the league “to assist in an appropriate response.”

“Emotions are high. I don’t really know what’s said,” Shaw said when asked about what happened. “Like I said, I was obviously upset with the call. Being that late in the game, it doesn’t give us a chance to tie it up.”

With Keith in the box for holding Alexander Steen, Schwartz intercepted a clearing attempt by Blackhawks defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk and beat Crawford low on his stick side at 1:36. Schwartz had the game-winning goal in St. Louis’ 3-2 victory in Game 3 on Sunday.

Steen then picked off a pass by van Riemsdyk and went in all alone on Crawford for his first goal of the series at 4:46, stunning the sellout crowd of 22,212.

“Steener getting that unassisted breakaway was a huge play for us,” Elliott said.

A fortunate bounce for Keith off Tarasenko’s stick and over Elliott gave the Blackhawks some hope, but BLUES | 10A

Elliott shut the door from there.

Before Schwartz and Steen broke through, it was the Tarasenko show once again for St. Louis. The dynamic wing has three goals and two assists in the series and 13 goals in 17 career playoff games.

The Blackhawks had a 2-1 lead and momentum before Andrew Ladd was penalized for interference at 17:09 of the second. Just 22 seconds later, Tarasenko whistled a shot under Crawford’s glove for the tying score.

“I don’t know how he shoots the puck like that,” Backes said. “I wish he’d tell me his secret. But he’s a talent.”

Tarasenko’s goal capped a frenetic second period that included a fight between Crawford and Fabbri after the forward was pushed into the goaltender on a rush to the net. Crawford skated into the corner and shoved Fabbri before the two wrestled on the ice.

The crowd responded with chants of “Co-rey!

Co-rey!” and the resulting fracas between the teams somehow generated a power play for the Blackhawks.

Fabbri (interference), Alex Pietrangelo (roughing) and Kevin Shattenkirk (roughing) were sent off for St. Louis, and Craw-

ford (roughing) and Ladd (roughing) were penalized for Chicago.

“I felt like I got pushed from behind and I tried to do my best to fall away from him,” Fabbri said. “I guess he didn’t like that.”

Crawford said he doesn’t remember too much about what happened but he was angry after he got hit in the head.

There was another big fight between the teams right after the final horn, and there were 140 penalty minutes assessed for the night.

During the power play after the Crawford-Fabbri dispute, Keith scored on a rebound to give the defending Stanley Cup champions a 2-1 lead at 13:09. The defenseman has three goals in the series after winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP a year ago.

NOTES: Blues D Carl Gunnarsson was scratched with an upper-body injury.

Robert Bortuzzo replaced him in the lineup. ... Blackhawks D Erik Gustafsson returned to the lineup after he was scratched in the previous two games. F Andrew Desjardins also played after he was inactive for Game 3. ...

BUSINESS/FARM

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, April 20, 2016

Northey shares tips for managing cover crops this spring DES MOINES – As the number of Iowa farmers using cover crops continues to grow, it’s important to help make sure these farmers have a successful experience. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey recently shared a number of spring management tips for farmers new to growing cover crops.

“We continue to see significant growth in the number of farmers using cover crops on their farm and also the total acreage of cover crops in the state. As a result, farmers are seeing the benefits firsthand around reduced erosion, improved water quality and soil health benefits,” Northey said.

“With good soil moisture and warm spring weather, we are seeing very good cover crop growth. This makes good management this spring even more important.”

It’s important to allow the cover crop to grow as long as possible to maximize the benefits of reducing erosion and improving soil health.

This is typically easier for soybeans after cover crops because of the later planting date and less potential impact on soybeans following a winter cereal grain. For corn, it’s important to terminate cover crops 10-14 days ahead of planting. More experienced users may be more comfortable with closer termination windows.

This information was put together with the help of the Iowa cover crop working group, which includes representatives from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Practical Farmers of Iowa, Iowa State University, Iowa Learning Farms and USDA Agriculture Research Service.

More information about incorporating cover crops into your farming operation can be found at www.cleanwateriowa.org/farm-practices. aspx or at www.extension. iastate.edu/ilf/content/cover-crop-resources.

1) Evaluate for winter-kill – The mild and wet winter, coupled with an early spring has provided near optimal conditions for cover crop growth. Cover crop species that may normally winter-kill may have over-wintered. It’s important to assess cover crop fields survived the winter to inform

management decisions. If the above ground cover crop is brown and near the soil surface no green plant material is present, then your cover crop winter-killed.

Cover crops such as tillage radishes and oats typically winter-kill and then no additional spring management is needed. Other cover crops, such as winter or cereal rye, winter wheat, triticale and barley, consistently over-winters in Iowa.

2) Termination options – Herbicides, tillage or a combination of the two can be used to effectively manage cover crops in the spring.

Keep in mind any tillage will reduce the effectiveness of the cover crop residue to protect against erosion and suppress weeds. Some additional considerations for both methods of termination follow: For successful herbicide termination, make sure the plant has “greened-up” and has enough living surface area for the herbicide to work. Experienced farmers suggest spraying during the middle of the day and, if possible, spray when air temperature is at least 45 or 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Unless you have experience, separate nitrogen application from a “burndown” herbicide application.

Terminating cover crops with tillage can be effective but may take more than one tillage pass. Wet periods can delay tillage to terminate cover crops and wet conditions following tillage can allow cover crop plants to survive tillage operations.

Also, tilling a cover crop to terminate eliminates the erosion prevention benefit that the cover crop would usually provide in the early part of the growing season.

3) Consider nitrogen needs – Cover crops effectively sequester nitrogen, and as the plant residue breaks down, it will release its nutrients, making them available for the crop later in the season when it is most needed. However, there is the potential for lower available nitrogen early in the growing season, especially following an over-wintering grass cover crop like cereal rye. To protect yield, farmers growing corn after a cereal rye cover crop may want to apply 30-50 pounds of nitrogen at or near corn

4-H’ers planning to exhibit sheep or meat goats at the Iowa State Fair or AKSAR-BEN will handle nomination procedures, including retinal imaging for state fair and DNA hair samples for AK-SAR-BEN on an appointment basis. Contact the Adair County Extension office at 641-743-8412 or 1-800-ISUE399 if you are planning to exhibit at the Iowa State Fair or AKSAR-BEN. The 2016 Adair County Fair is scheduled July 2024. The 4-H and FFA sheep show will be Friday, July 22, beginning at 9 a.m. with the market lamb feeder pens, followed by the market and bottle lambs and breeding sheep show. 4-H and FFA meat goat show will follow at 11:30 a.m. For more information about the 4-H sheep or meat goat project, contact the Adair County Extension Office. 4-H membership for fourth through 12th-graders will be accepted until May 15.

In 1994 the nation’s cow herd was decreasing and the cattle feeding industry had concentrated. Just adding pay weight and carcass quality were not enough.

Our bull customers needed sale prices that reflected not only their dave nichols genetic inputs, but the healthy, vaccinated, and problem free feeder calves that hit the feedlot gaining.

I hired Ross Havens primarily to keep our commercial cow/calf customers in business. Our first genetic source feeder auction added $65 per head when fiveweight steer calves were selling for $55 — $58 cwt.

Since that sale we’ve sold about 60,000 calves in Nichols Genetic Source Auctions. We out grew our start up model and have transitioned to working with a multitude of auction barns and video auctions across the mid-west and high plains. And we do it without collecting a cent of commission from anyone!

At the December “Green Tag Sale” at the Creston Livestock Auction, over 1,000 Nichols sired calves weighed more and sold higher than “popular brand X” calves. The Nichols steers weighed 128 lbs more and the heifers 92 lbs. Both sold higher within their weight. range.

Make no mistake— cross breeding, true performance, and the reputation of the Nichols Brand were key.

planting. This is not additional nitrogen but is within the farmer’s total fertilizer program.

4) Know crop insurance requirements – Crop insurance rules state that a cover crop in Zone 3 (western third of Iowa) must be terminated by the day of cash crop planting. A cover crop in Zone 4 (eastern 2/3rds of Iowa) must be terminated within five days of cash crop planting. If using no-till, add seven days to either scenario. More information about insurance requirements can be found at www.rma. usda.gov/help/faq/covercrops2016.html.

5) Start planning now for cover crop needs this fall – Determine what cover crop(s) work with your current or planned crop protection program. Some residual herbicides have carryover restrictions for certain species of cover crops.

Consult with your agronomist and/or cover crop seed representative to look at your specific management system with the integration of cover crops. Additional information can be found at www.weeds.iastate.edu/ mgmt/2015/CCherbicides. pdf.

6) Consider participating in the Conservation Technology Information Center’s (CTIC) annual cover crop survey – The CTIC conducts an annual cover crop survey of all farmers, whether or not they plant cover crops.

Farmers can take the 10-15 minute survey anonymously, and it helps guide policy, research and education on cover crops nationwide. The survey is available at www. conservationinformation. org/Cover%20Crops.

“Hopefully these tips and the resources that are available statewide will help farmers have success as they manage their cover crops this spring,” Northey said.

“We want farmers to have a successful experience and be encouraged to try cover crops again in the future.”
