Afton man wins $250K in Powerball drawing

Prairie Lawn Cemetery, a perpetual care cemetery north of Creston, can’t be maintained with the current amount of funds. n

Prairie Lawn Cemetery is located about one mile north of the entrance to Green Valley State Park north of Creston.

The cemetery is a perpetual care cemetery, which means it is perpetually cared for by a trust fund. Prairie Lawn Cemetery, however, is not making enough money from the trust so it can be properly maintained.

CLIVE — A southern Iowa man credits his big Powerball win to a recent change in the way the numbers he plays are chosen.

Lon Grail of Afton said he played the same set of lucky numbers (5-10-1428-29 and 32) for about a decade until a couple of months ago, when he decided to let the computer randomly pick his numbers instead. It turns out easy picks were the way to go for

him, as he won $250,000 in Saturday’s drawing.

“After I retired, I got tired of messing with the play slip,” Grail told lottery employees Monday as he claimed his prize at the lottery’s headquarters in Clive.

Grail, a retired railroad worker, said he bought his winning ticket Saturday at Casey’s, 501 N. Douglas St. GRAIL | 2A

What will happen to Prairie Lawn Cemetery?

By BAILEY POOLMAN CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

On a sunny Monday, a breeze blows through the grass at Prairie Lawn Cemetery, a small perpetual care cemetery located on Green Valley Road, a mile north of the entrance to Green Valley State Park.

Prairie Lawn Cemetery is a perpetual care cemetery, which means it is run off the interest of a trust fund, but at Prairie Lawn, that interest isn’t enough to maintain care of the property.

Recently, those involved with the cemetery came to the Union County Board of Supervisors to discuss the lack of money and asked for help in what to do.

“The problem is, the income from the trust does not pay the expenses, and so, they (cemetery board members) are working with the township trustees from Spaulding Township,” said Tim Kenyon, Union County attorney. “The township trustees have an obligation

to see that the cemeteries are maintained.”

Trust fund The trust fund for Prairie Lawn Cemetery was started in the 1940s, but things have changed significantly since then.

“The assumption in large part back then was people would give ongoing payments to take care of those things,” said Dennis

Brittson, director of regulated industries at the Iowa Insurance Division. “It’s a mechanism that is in place so that they will be cared for in the future.”

That mechanism was the requirement of a trust fund, according to Iowa legislation. That means a portion of revenue would go into the trust fund to make sure the money is always there,

so the cemetery has money to maintain it perpetually.

However, Brittson said trends in the death care industry have changed. One change is more people are using cremation rather than burial because it is less expensive for consumers.

“Cemeteries are dealing with that trend. And, regardless of that trend, a lot of their expenses, their overhead, is fixed and it’s hard to go over that,” Brittson said.

“A lot of cemeteries are struggling with the fact that they’re having less revenue and their expenses haven’t gone down much.”

Currently, a portion of the money made from a lot sold at the cemetery, either a percentage or a minimum of $50, is added to the principal of the Prairie Lawn Cemetery trust fund. The rest of the money is added to the cemetery’s main account. Plus, the amount of interest gleaned from the trust is so low, at approximately $100 a year for the CEMETERY | 2A

Deadline for ‘Paint Creston’ applications is May 5 The Image Enhancement Committee of the Creston Chamber of Commerce is able to offer again the Paint Creston Program to a minimum of five Creston owner-occupied homes in 2016. In the five years that the program has been in place, 30 homes in Creston have been painted.

In the past, some homeowners have felt that any general upkeep of their property will increase the assessed value on their home and thus have not kept their property in good condition. This is not correct.

“The assessment on a home will not raise if the home is painted or reroofed, contrary to popular belief,” said Theresa Pudenz, Union County assessor.

In order to be considered for the program, each interested homeowner needs

to complete an application, which is available at the chamber office or online at www.crestoniowachamber. com.

The completed application must be returned no later than 5 p.m. May 5 to the chamber office, 208 W. Taylor St., in Creston, by mail to P.O. Box 471, Creston, IA, 50801, or by email to chamber@crestoniowa- Gerharz chamber. com.

For questions, call the chamber office at 641-7827021.

“We truly believe that a little paint can make a dramatic difference,” said Ellen Gerharz, executive director of Creston Chamber of Commerce.

past several years, the board members have been required to find alternative means to keep maintenance up.

Prairie Lawn Because Prairie Lawn Cemetery hasn’t been able to make enough money to offset the cost of maintenance, many people have volunteered time and money to mow and trim the headstones. “The problem is, the trust fund that was created back in 1944 limits what they can do with monies that they Kenyon have,�

Kenyon said. “They are limited because they’re only allowed to use the income from the

Failed Iowa vote on medical marijuana highlights challenges DES MOINES (AP) — An attempt in the Iowa Legislature to expand medical marijuana access in the state may have reached its end this session with a failed vote in the House.

The Monday night debate, which ended with a 31-63 failed vote, highlights the challenges of passing legislation that includes a production system for the drug.

Members of the Republican-controlled chamber say the proposal would have

expanded state law and allowed potential partnerships with states that have a production system. Rep. Zach Nunn, an Altoona Republican, says there are financial issues in creating a manufacturing system in Iowa for a small group of people.

House Democrats say there are legal implications with any out-of-state partnerships, and it would not have made it easier for Iowa residents to access cannabis oil allowed under law.

GRAIL:

Storms could bring powerful tornadoes to Great Plains OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Forecasters are warning that severe storms could bring “significant� tornadoes and grapefruit-sized hail to the Great Plains on Tuesday, while severe thunderstorms and strong wind gusts are predicted for Mid-Atlantic states where voters are casting ballots in primary elections.

The most dangerous weather — heavy winds, tornadoes and giant hail — will likely take aim at a 66,000-square-mile area stretching from southern Oklahoma to southern Nebraska, including the Oklahoma City and Wichita, Kansas, areas, according to the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma.

Parts of Texas and Missouri are also at risk for big hail and damaging wind gusts, forecasters said. “We shouldn’t assume that we’re going to have a lot of information — you know, a lot of lead time,�

Storm Prediction Center meteorologist Matt Mosier said. “We may or we may not.�

In all, nearly 50 million people from the Rio Grande in South Texas to Omaha, Nebraska, and the western regions of Missouri, Arkansas and Iowa are at a slight risk or higher of experiencing severe weather Tuesday. That tally also includes Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Baltimore, where a separate storm system could bring strong winds and thunderstorms to Mid-Atlantic states.

Storms are expected in Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania, where voters are casting ballots in primary elections Tuesday, though forecasters aren’t expecting a severe weather outbreak there.

in Afton, and checked his ticket there Sunday morning using a self-checker inside the store. “I thought the machine was playing a trick on me,� he said.

Grail joked he and his wife, Terri, are used to seeing the lottery terminal display a much different message when he checks his Powerball tickets, so much so that they’ve given it an acronym: “TTINAW,�

trust to pay for maintenance.�

Estimates for the cost of maintenance were about $200 per mowing and and trimming separately. Maintenance also includes occasional spraying to prevent grass from growing right next to the headstone. “At times, volunteers have gone in and mowed, but not necessarily because we didn’t h a v e someone else lined up,� said Donna Wallace Wallace, trustee for the Prairie Lawn Cemetery trust fund. “It needed to be mowed under a time crunch.

And, it’s always been volunteers who’ve gone in and taken care of the trees.�

Wallace said the cemetery has operated on donations from the community and people who own lots at the cemetery when expenses were too high to pay for

from the trust.

There is also the option of having a cemetery tax levy for Spaulding Township.

According to Prairie Lawn Cemetery board members, the goal is to not use tax money for the cemetery.

Currently, there is a tax levy of .07 per $1,000 valuation set for the cemetery tax in Spaulding Township.

However, according to Kenyon, the township and county have obligations to make sure the cemetery is maintained properly, so money from taxpayers could be used to pay for costs. “That’s why they went to the supervisors,� Wallace said. “If the general fund gets down so low, then yes, the Union County taxpayers will be helping to fund it.�

One way the cemetery will be able to save money is by Wallace stepping down as trustee and Sandy Hysell, Union County auditor, stepping up. The date for this is not official. The change in trustees will save the cemetery account money because Hysell is already bonded as a

county official, and Wallace would not have to be bonded anymore. However, there is still discussion about that issue. “We do not want to appear that we are jumping in to take money. We are doing this because they asked us for help, not the other way around,�

Kenyon said. “They’ve come to us and requested our help in getting this problem solved. We can’t solve it immediately, though.�

Kenyon said he and the supervisors are hoping to work through this issue to help the cemetery maintain itself by itself. “The rule requires that the county maintain these cemeteries, so we’re hoping that we can use the funds that are out there as best we can to keep the county’s financial expense on this matter to a minimum,� Kenyon said. “We’re trying to maximize the income we do have. We’re trying to make the best use of the principal so the taxpayers will not have any burden here unless there absolutely has to be a burden.�

which stands for “This Ticket Is Not A Winner.� “We’re used to that, but when the bells go off, then you’re supposed to win $3, not $250,000,� he said with a smile.

Grail’s winning ticket initially matched four of the first five numbers and the Powerball to win a $50,000 prize, but since he added the Power Play option to his purchase, his prize multiplied by five.

The winning numbers in Saturday’s $256.9 million jackpot were: 19-35-46-5962 and Powerball 13. The Power Play number was 5.

The jackpot has been grow-

ing since March 5 and has climbed to an estimated $282 million for Wednesday’s drawing. “I’ve always bought that Power Play, always,� Grail said. “I have friends that always tell me, ‘Why do you spend that extra dollar?’ ‘Somebody has to win,’ I tell them.�

As for the prize money, the couple said they plan to save a majority of it after taking care of some medical expenses. A new riding lawn mower also is in their near future.

Grail’s prize of $250,000 minus federal withholding of $62,500 and state

withholding of $12,500 will leave him a net amount of $175,000 to take home.

Grail was one of two Iowa Lottery players to win big prizes in Saturday’s Powerball drawing. A ticket sold at Casey’s in Albia also won $50,000. That ticket is yet to be claimed.

Winning numbers may be checked at the lottery website at www.ialottery. com or through the winning numbers hotline at 515-3234633. Winning numbers may also be checked with lottery retail outlets or by calling the lottery at 515-725-7900 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

urb of Midwest City, decided Monday night to call off classes for Tuesday.

The district said in a statement that the safety of students and staff was its top priority, noting that it reworked its tornado safety plan three years ago after a twister killed seven schoolchildren in the neighboring suburb of Moore.

Officials with Oklahoma City Public Schools and the University of Oklahoma were meeting early Tuesday to determine plans for the day. Other schools in Oklahoma canceled afternoon and evening activities, when the storms are expected to roll in.

In recent years, authorities have been able to predict storm conditions like these several days in advance with greater confidence, Mosier said, though he noted that the weather doesn’t always pan out as expected. “It’s never straightforward when you’re sitting here talking about (predicting) large tornadoes,�

Mosier said. “We’re trying to be as confident or as accurate as we can.�

Residents of affected areas should develop a plan to take shelter from a quick-forming storm without driving in severe conditions, Mosier said.

City council approves vendor fees for RAGBRAI As of April 17, the Creston City Council approved the vendor fees and necessary ordinances for RAGBRAI 2016.

Vendor fees have been set at $750 for-profit and $350 nonprofit, with a $100 cleanup deposit. If vendors require electrical hook up, there will be an additional $75 fee. The $100 deposit will be refunded once the area has been satisfactorily returned to its original state. The fees help defray the cost of extra insurance, additional sanitation and recycling requirements, maps and other forms of advertising listing the approved vendors. This is not a money-making project for the city – it is more of a way to showcase Creston.

Vendor applications may be found online at www.crestoniowachamber.com/crestonragbrai, picked up from Creston Chamber of Commerce located on Highway 34 or by emailing uppercrustculinary@gmail.com.

For-profit vendors setting up inside the Creston city limits will be required to post a permanent or temporary sales tax permit, a temporary or transient food service license and proof of insurance. Once approved, there will also be an official poster and permit to display in the booth. These

Wed

vendors will be included in all publicity as an official food vendor. RAGBRAI material encourages riders to patronize only vendors that display this poster.

Locations for vendors will be a site approximately 20 feet by 20 feet at either Southwestern Community College, McKinley Park or in the uptown area next to the beverage garden. Vendors may request one of these areas and will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis.

Spread the word that overnight towns are encouraged to plan to serve a minimum of 10,000 meals. It is suggested the riders prefer a sit-down meal after eating “portable” food all day. The top 10 dinner choices have been lasagna with meat, spaghetti with meat, pizza, BBQ, grilled chicken, walking tacos, baked potato bar, steak sandwiches, turkey, chicken or beef and noodles and Mexican foods. Vegetarian dishes are also appreciated.

Keep in mind that throughout the day they have already been eating brats, hot dogs, hamburgers or ham sandwiches, as well as fresh fruit.

Any questions may be directed to Chamber of Commerce at 641-782-7021, Christy Nielsen at 641-344-6072 or Cynthia Wolf at 641-745-5090.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, April 26, 2016

Farewell CNA readers I’ve learned over the years to trust my gut.

I’ve also learned to take note of those “whispers in your ear” that Oprah Winfrey so precisely advises about in her farewell episode. (Check that episode out on YouTube sometime, by the way).

That, along with my pragmatic, list-making, pros-versus-cons personality I cling so tightly to, has led me to resign as editor of the Creston News Advertiser.

Today is my last day with the newspaper.

I recently accepted a marketing associate position with First National Bank in Creston. This is an exciting opportunity for me and most importantly: my family.

But believe me, this wasn’t an easy decision. I’ve spent my entire working career (10 years) in the newspaper business. I certainly have some ink running through these veins.

It’s been the quiet moments over the past week — editing stories and legal notices in my office once the doors are locked at 503 W. Adams St. — that have stirred some emo-

In Transit Kyle Wilson managing editor

tions.

I grew up delivering the Creston News Advertiser in Kent on a 12-speed. My route had about 20 papers and every house felt like it was a 1/4 mile apart. I grew up reading CNA sportswriter Larry Peterson’s column and, thanks to a class taught by Galen Zumbach at Creston High School, was able to job shadow Peterson in high school.

That job shadow led to a chance at journalism. My first assignment for the CNA came as a teenager when Peterson sent me for coverage of a Lenox football game. Reflecting now, Peterson knew coach Allen Dukes and his staff could accommodate a cub reporter with little to no writing, photography or interviewing skills.

I remember those first stories I turned in to Peterson being extra

“bloody.” He wore out plenty of red ink pens on my early copy. I’m sure I was more of a hassle for Larry than fellow intern Scott Levine, now an editor at the Clinton Herald, who has always had the ability to “hammer out” a good, clean story in less than 45 minutes.

I’ll tell you this: Peterson has taught me more about this business than I have room for here.

And, I’m not the only one he took under his wing and helped graduate from Peterson School of Journalism.

Larry has been a shining example of how to do things the right way. And, it’s his professionalism, work ethic and commitment to a quality product that I’ll take with me to my next job at FNB. Thanks Larry for being a mentor to me and many other young journalists at the CNA. I couldn’t write this without mentioning Stephani Finley, former editor of the CNA. You pushed me to be a better writer and gave me more good “life advice” in the “blue chair” than I deserved. And, my respect for you

has grown with each day I sat in the editor’s office.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with some incredible journalists here, too. Jake Waddingham and Ian Richardson are both out there climbing ladders and will no doubt reach their goals. Uptown Sarah Brown now has a business (Quilts and Other Notions) in … surprise, surprise … uptown Creston, which you should go check out.

Former CNA newsroom assistant Courtney Dake and I both went to Creston High School. We didn’t cross paths much then. But, we developed a strong friendship inside these walls at the CNA that continues to grow. It’s going to be great watching her ministry and leadership grow over the next five to 10 years.

Scott Vicker, another Peterson intern, will now take over the reins as editor of the Creston News Advertiser. It’s a move that will put me at ease as I walk out the door later today. There aren’t too many that can “grind” like Vicker. He has a work ethic that doesn’t stop, and he has a great newsroom staff

in Peterson (soon moving to parttime feature writer), associate editor Kelsey Haugen, Melody Stoll, Bailey Poolman and Amy Hansen in Osceola.

A good friend of mine, Joel Lamb, will join the newsroom staff full-time Monday. I believe he has the skills to become a top-tier reporter in this business.

To the readers, thanks for all the texts, phone calls, emails, Facebook messages and for stopping in to say “good luck.” It has meant more than you know. And, truly, thanks for picking up the paper each day. Some of you know exactly what time your carrier should be delivering the paper and read every word on every page.

Lastly, I must thank CNA Publisher Rich Paulsen for giving me the opportunity to lead the editorial department at this newspaper. Thanks for believing in me.

Thanks for your guidance from time to time and for allowing me some room to grow into a stronger leader.

Thanks again and farewell CNA readers.

Manning talking to three different TV networks HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Queen Elizabeth posed for a stamp with Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George for her 90th birthday. It makes many wistful. Americans are so furious over their choices for president that audiences for the Broadway musical “Hamilton” have begun booing the victory scene at Yorktown.

President Obama admitted at a British press conference Friday that the U.S. and Great Britain will always be joined at the hip in the Special Relationship. He conceded that our cultural, historical and blood ties are so strong that nothing could ever separate our two countries. He’s tried everything.

Peyton Manning was reported

by ESPN Sunday to be talking with three TV networks for work as an NFL analyst in the game booth and in the studio. It’s a tough club to join. As entertaining as Peyton Manning is, he needs at least three more concussions before he’s as funny as Terry Bradshaw.

North Carolina’s new bathroom law prompted big box stores to

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

clarify their bathroom policies in the U.S. It’s touchy. Target announced customers can use any bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity, either way you have a 50-50 chance of walking in on someone cooking meth.

Donald Trump modified his position on transgenders’ use of public bathrooms on Friday from what he’d said the day before. He had said he doesn’t care which bathroom they use, and now he says it’s a states’ rights issue. Ted Cruz is even more conservative, he wants transgenders to hold it in.

Johnny Manziel wandered the Coachella Festival stoned Sunday after he’d trashed a house in Hollywood. Last week his agent fired him and his spousal abuse grand jury met in Texas. Johnny Manziel has hit rock bottom so many times the environmentalists want to have him fined for fracking.

‘People energy’ As the presidential campaign drags on and on, I am amazed at how these candidates can tolerate the constant interaction with hundreds and thousands of people. To be surrounded nonstop by staff, security personnel, reporters and supporters would completely wear me out. I’ve recognized for a long time that I don’t have a lot of “people energy,” which is the sign of a confirmed introvert.

No wonder Jeb Bush had such a difficult time on the campaign trail, because from everything I’ve read about him, he is an introvert.

Trump branded him as a low-energy person, and he probably was because of his personality. Unfortunately, if you’re going to run for the presidency, having that type of personality would just make the task all that much more difficult.

Actually, I suspect President Obama is more of an introvert than an extrovert. He displays a lot of charm and personality in many settings, but he also demonstrates a reserve that has made it difficult for him to interact successfully with members of Congress and some of our international allies.

People are often categorized as being either an introvert or extrovert, and while most are probably a good mixture, there are some who strongly lean in one direction or the other. If one is an introvert, being around others for any length of time actually saps their energy – which also means they need sufficient down-time to recharge.

A common characteristic of in-

In other words June Bower

troverts is to be more comfortable in quiet, low-key environments.

I read where someone described how her extrovert friends loved concerts, whereas she quickly became over-stimulated and found them to be tiring and punishing.

Being surrounded by loud music and dense crowds can be overwhelming for introverts, while extroverts thrive on such activity. A good example of an introvert is the person who said his favorite kind of party is one that got cancelled.

Introverts are much more comfortable being alone than extroverts; in fact, they enjoy it. They prefer knowing just a few people well rather than to have numerous friends. Extroverts, on the other hand, are people-oriented and it’s easier for them to be friendly and outgoing. They get a buzz from interacting with people. They are comfortable socializing and look forward to joining a group of friends or going to a party. Extroverts have no idea how difficult it can be for introverts to make small talk, mingle at parties and join small group discussions. Introverts who work in jobs where they have to interact with others for hours at a time can be completely spent at the end of the day.

Introverts are often viewed as

being shy or distant, maybe even unfriendly, because they avoid socializing, but actually they really can’t change the way they are wired. Conserving their energy is a matter of self-preservation.

Introverts get their energy from dealing with things going on in their own heads. Ideas and reactions to things require far less mental energy than it takes to join a club. This explains why they would rather read a book than go to a party, or why they would rather watch a ballgame or a movie by themselves than with a crowd. Some would view this as being reclusive but it’s really not.

As I grow older, I’m even less likely to socialize. I find it liberating that I can choose when I want to visit with others, or just have a friendly brief exchange with old friends and new acquaintances. Of course, it’s pretty easy to interact daily with my kids and grandkids, and a good visit every week or two with my sisters fills the bill quite nicely. We also text a lot and I’ve found texting to be a great way for introverts to communicate without expending a lot of energy.

I worry a little that eventually health and age might force me into a nursing home where conscientious staffs are determined to guard against isolation of their residents. I could be in trouble if they insist I join their parties or leave my room to play bingo.

They’ll have to understand, if they want me to be contented, I will need to be left alone.

Trevor Marlin, junior member and chapter officer, is pictured accepting the Iowa FFA Community Development Award – Environment, on behalf of the chapter. Creston FFA received this award for the many tree plantings and seedling give away conducted in the spring and fall.

Creston FFA Chapter named one Customer Appreciation Week of Iowa’s best at state conference ONLY at your Creston Hy-vee Twenty-four Creston FFA members, along with advisor Kelsey Bailey and chaperone Shelly Parsons, were among more than 5,400 members and guests who attended the recent 88th annual State FFA Leadership Conferences April 18-19 held in Hilton Coliseum on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames.

The Creston FFA Chapter’s tradition of excellence continued when they were again recognized as one of the elite programs in the state of Iowa during the conferences proceedings. The chapter placed in the state’s Supreme National Chapter Award competition, earning a gold emblem award and recognized with the Supreme National Chapter award. The chapter’s application will advance to National competition this fall. In addition, the chapter was also recognized as the state-winning community development chapter in the area of environmental development.

Creston FFA was busy with leadership contests.

The parliamentary procedures team participated at the state level, earning a silver emblem and included Caitlin McIlravy, Macy Evans, Mattie Wheeler, Logan Pettit and Morgan Shawler. The chapter program team consisting of Jordan Moreland, Paige Parsons and Taylor Sorrells earned a bronze emblem at state

contest. The farm business management team made up of Trevor Marlin, Ian Burns, Will Gordon and Nathan Pudenz earned a silver rating at state. Two freshman members, Billie Fogle and Devon Buls, earned a silver emblem for the greenhand quiz contest. The team agriculture sales CDE earned a bronze emblem and included Tristan Travis, Hank Looney, Trevor Kinyon and Seth Steinbach. The chapter display created by Kayla Luther, Alexis Baker and Kelsi Kautz earned a bronze emblem.

Creston FFA junior member Olivia Hartman was selected as a member in the Iowa FFA band. Hartman was selected through an application process that required recommendations from her school band instructor. Once selected, Hartman received her performance music she practiced at home, and at convention, the band met twice to practice before performing at the fourth and final session of the conference.

Nine local FFA members were awarded the coveted Iowa FFA Degree during the convention proceedings.

This degree is the highest honor the Iowa FFA Association bestows upon its membership. Recipients of this honor must put forth great effort through involvement in course work, leader-

ship and SAE achievement.

Those earning the degrees include Evans, Wheeler, Shawler, Pettit, Hartman, Maddie Travis, Cali Foglesong, Marlin and Gordon.

All Creston FFA members participated in the Iowa FFA’s state philanthropy project while attending the convention. Meals from the Heartland set up packaging tables on the floor of Hilton Coliseum, where thousands of FFA members packaged more than 204,000 meals to give to the food insecure.

Such meals will be shipped throughout the world and domestically to aid in fighting the global food insecurity epidemic.

Other member involvement saw Darrian Fischer and Hartman serve as state delegates voting on all official business and state officer elections.

To end another successful state conference, Creston FFA was proud to see senior member Zach Hoffman elected as the Iowa FFA State Association South Central District vice president.

Hoffman’s duties require a full year of service to the Iowa FFA Association. He will be responsible for directing the works of the organization, making chapter visits all across the state of Iowa, as well as lead the South Central District officer team and coordinate the South Central District convention.

rently, there are 341 missing persons in Iowa; of those, 211 are juveniles, most of those are reported as runaways. To get up-to-date information on missing Iowans, you can visit the Iowa DCI website at www.iowaonline.state.ia.us/ mpic/Controller.aspx?cmd=fullReportCommand.

What should parents tell their children about abduction? It is not necessary to frighten children about the risk of abduction, but there are several things that parents can do to keep children safer: • When making arrangements to meet, tell the children that Mom or Dad will be there for you or will tell you who else to look for.

• Do not get in the car with anyone unless Mom or Dad has told you to go with them.

• Develop a “code word” the child will understand – if Mom or Dad has authorized someone to take the child home, they can share the “code word” known only to the family.

• If the child does not hear the “code word,” they should run away and scream.

• Walk with other children, not alone.

• Be aware of the common tricks used to lure children (free puppies, parent injured, etc.)

• Speak up if someone makes you feel uncomfortable.

• Screaming is OK. • Tell children who to call if they feel they need help.

• Teach them their own address and phone number.

what facts you will notice can help train your brain to see those things and remember them in order to provide them to investigators. Sometimes the incident turns out not to be an attempted abduction.

But officials say it is better to report the incident to the police and have the child safe, rather than to avoid calling the police and have the child abducted. If a child abduction occurs, the first few hours are the most important. Immediate reporting and an immediate response can make a big difference.

Data collected by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) show attempted abductions happen more often when a child is going to and from school or school-related activities. The data also found attempted abductions more often involved children between the ages of 10 to 14 and happen more often to female children, with suspects more commonly using a vehicle.

The NCMEC study found there were five most utilized lures during these attempted abductions: • Offering the child a ride • Offering the child candy • Asking the child questions • Offering the child money • Using an animal DPS’ Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) houses the Iowa Missing Person Information Clearing house, which tracks all missing persons in Iowa.

DPS reminds Iowans to be vigilant of child abductions DES MOINES — With warmer weather, children are outdoors more often participating in activities and sporting events, which takes their focus off their surroundings, making them more vulnerable to abductors.

The Iowa Department of Public Safety (DPS) is reminding Iowans to be on the lookout for potential child abductions in spring and summer months and to provide information to law enforcement when they see something that looks unusual.

DPS asks everyone to speak up for children. Pay attention to unusual activity and immediately call 911 if you think a child could be in danger. The facts that will help law enforcement most: • Describe the vehicle: color, general description, make/model, and if possible, license plate number (even a partial number and a county can help to identify a vehicle).

• Describe the people involved: Give the description of the driver and any passengers, as well as a description of the child and any other people in the area who might be witnesses. The description can include hair color, age, race/ethnicity, glasses, tattoos, features and clothing.

• Time and location of the incident: If you call 911, the time will be recorded. Tell the 911 operator the exact location of the incident, if possible, including house numbers, mile markers and cross streets.

Cleaning the window blades Dear Heloise: What is a good way to clean WINDSHIELD-WIPER BLADES? – Carolyn C., via email Carolyn, that’s a very good question, and one most people don’t think about! The main hint is to check and clean them often. Generally, a paper towel or a clean cloth (I like microfiber cloths) with water should suffice. If they are gunky, a drop of dish soap in a cup of water, or some rubbing alcohol or window cleaner, works. DON’T use windshield-washer fluid, as most contain antifreeze, which can be harmful to your hands and dangerous to pets.

– Heloise P.S.: If you live in a very hot, sunny climate, check the wiper blades often. Hot, dry weather and extreme sunlight can shorten the life of the blades.

Reuse for washing the face or an herbal facial, or put in the bath for an herbal bath.

The Numbers Game

Years since the St. Louis Blues last won a Game 7. The Blues beat defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago 3-2 Monday.

National Digest

Blues advance ST. LOUIS — The Blues acquired Troy Brouwer for moments like this, dealing fan favorite T.J. Oshie to Washington for some badly needed veteran presence.

The 30-year-old forward showed plenty of poise when his first shot clanked off the post midway through the third period. The second effort off the backhand produced the goal that put a long-frustrated franchise over the top against the defending Stanley Cup champions.

Brouwer described the go-ahead score in the third period of the 3-2 Game 7 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night as “the ugliest goal I’ve ever scored and probably the timeliest goal I’ve ever scored.”

Brouwer played for the Blackhawks’ Cup winner in 2010, and this was his seventh career Game 7. The goal at 8:31 was his first in 24 postseason games since 2013 and was the difference in a tense series that was either tied or a one-goal game 91 percent of the time, according to NHL.com.

Chicago just missed a chance to tie it when Brent Seabrook’s shot went off both posts with about 3:30 left. Coach Joel Quenneville came close to challenging the play.

Paul hurt PORTLAND, Ore. — Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul suffered a fracture in his hand during Monday night’s 98-84 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers and did not return.

Paul suffered the injury while defending Trail Blazers guard Gerald Henderson and was taken out of the game with 6:07 left in the third quarter of Game 4, which evened the series at 2-2.

Paul’s fracture was in the third metacarpal, in the center of the palm of his right hand.

An angered Paul walked off the floor to the locker room after being briefly checked by a trainer, shaking his head and kicking what appeared to be a team bag while making his way off the court.

Tiger ‘good’ M O N T G O M ERY, Texas — Tiger Woods played what he said were his first holes of golf on Monday since competing in the Wyndham Championship in August, a casual five holes with buddy Mark O’Meara at Bluejack National Golf Club.

Woods was on hand to officially open the course he designed, taking part in a lengthy warm-up session while club members gathered around the driving range to listen to him and O’Meara tell old golf tales. They then joined the major champions on the course, where Woods hit plenty of good shots — and some not so good ones, too.

Woods, 40, has not played since a tie for 10th at the Wyndham Championship at the conclusion of his worst season on the PGA Tour. He missed three cuts in major championships and four overall. A 10th-place tie was his best finish.

Spartans sweep Iowa Lakes in regional preview

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

In the final tuneup before this weekend’s Region XI Tournament, Southwestern swept first-round opponent Iowa Lakes in a doubleheader here Sunday.

The Spartans won game one by a 9-8 score on Brennan Banks’ three-run walkoff home run and sophomore Danielle McIntosh spun a four-hitter Banks as the Spartans won game two by a 6-1 score.

Katlyn Schiefen gave up eight runs on 17 hits with three strikeouts in the game one

victory, as Southwestern outslugged the Lakers.

Banks finished 3-for-3 at the plate with two home runs and five RBI. Tiernee Fichter went 2-3 with a solo home run. Riley Coates and Nikki Tennant each drove in one run for the Spartans.

“We came out of the gate and played really well defensively,” Southwestern head coach Lindsey Stumpff said.

“Through the first four innings, we did really well. We haven’t been that in-tune with each other and played that well in I don’t know how long.”

Iowa Lakes scored four runs in the top of the seventh inning to take an 8-6 lead, before Banks smacked her three-run homer to end the game.

Banks added her third home run of the day in the second game, going 2-3 with three

RBI. Fichter was 3-3 with a triple and three RBI. Gabby DuBois and Abby Davis each recorded two hits in the win.

“We hit the ball extremely well today,” Stumpff said. “In both games, Brennan hit three home runs. Tiernee has been hitting it. She’s on a good 15 or 16-game hitting streak right now. She’s seeing the ball and it looks like a beach ball to her right now.”

McIntosh struck out five and walked only one in the four-hitter.

“That was probably her best outing all year,” Stumpff said.

“I don’t think she’s thrown that hard all year long. She was hitting her spots. Her drop ball was on point. She looked like the Danielle before shoulder surgery. Hopefully that’s a SWCC | 10A

Southwestern Community College sophomore right fielder Tiernee Fichter runs in to catch a fly ball during the Spartans’ 6-1 win over Iowa Lakes in game two of a doubleheader on Sunday. Fichter drove in three runs in the win.

On an unusually calm day for this spring, the Creston/O-M girls golf team breezed past Clarke here on Friday, 194-245.

Clarke’s boys team beat a Creston/O-M JV team, 211222.

With little to no wind factoring into play on Friday, the only thing that got in Creston/O-M’s way was the trees on Crestmoor Golf Course.

Still, the seventh-ranked Panthers had no problem with Clarke. Sophomore Ashton Carter took medalist honors with her round of 47, while senior Camryn Somers finished as runner-up with her 48.

All four scoring members of the Panther team finished with lower scores than Clarke’s leader. Madison Hance shot a 49 for the Pan-

thers and Sophia Groumoutis finished with a 50.

Clarke was led by Courtney Clark’s 52.

Other scores for the Panthers included a 59 from Hayley Osmun and a 63 by Morgan Shawler.

“Beautiful day for golf except for the trees, yet Creston shot very consistent scores,” Creston/O-M head coach Jan Lesan said. “Hayley Osmun continues to shoot in the 50s and Morgan Shawler improved her score to the low 60s.”

In boys action, Gavin Sickels won medalist honors for Creston/O-M with his round of 44. Clarke’s Conner Deutsch finished runner-up with a 47.

Cody Crawford finished with a 54, followed by Brenden McDowell’s 45 and Ian Burns’ 68 to round out the team scoring for the Panthers.

Trojans outscore Creston, 6-2

By LARRY PETERSON Gavin Woods was there to CNA senior sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

ATLANTIC — Ryan Hawkins scored two goals for Atlantic as the Trojans picked up their first conference soccer victory Monday over Creston, 6-2.

The Trojans improved to 1-2 in league matches and 6-4 overall. Creston fell to 0-3 and 2-7 with a road trip to Lewis Central today with the girls team.

“We didn’t match their physical play tonight,” Creston coach Lucian Diaconu said. “We weren’t stepping in and playing physically to take the ball away, and they took advantage of that. We’re still getting that varsity experience that you need.”

It was an evenly-played match for the first 20 minutes before Atlantic broke through with the first goal.

Atlantic scored on a rebound after a shot was blocked by Creston goalkeeper Payton Pryor in taking a 2-0 lead.

“They found an open channel in our defense and scored on a counter attack and we could not recover fast enough,” Diaconu said. “Their third goal was

by Hawkins, He dribbled in from midfield and got close to the goal for an easy shot.”

Creston improved its play in the second half, getting outscored 3-2 over the final 40 minutes.

“Less than five minutes into the second half, Jacob Goodson played it long, the keeper blocked it, and

clear it into the goal,” Diaconu said. “They scored twice after that on a PK for a foul in the box and off a very long throw-in on a set play to make it 5-1.

They had another counter to make it 6-1. With about 10 minutes left, Ben Irr took the ball away from a defender and made a nice long shot out of the 18-yard box. It was his first goal of the season.”

Irr, coming off a broken leg suffered o v e r the winter, had his best match to date with eight to- Irr tal shots and five on goal. The total shots were close, as Atlantic had 26 shots to Creston’s 19.

With Quenton Scadden out from a concussion suffered against Nodaway Valley, Pryor was full-time goalkeeper with 11 saves.

Creston won a 40-minute JV match, 2-0, with goals

by Matthew Borha and Travontay Wright.

After today’s trip to Lewis Central, Creston plays at ninth-ranked Glenwood Thursday.

Other Hawkeye 10 teams were active Monday night.

Stephen Curry out at least 2 weeks with sprained right knee

By JOSH DUBOW AP Sports Writer

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — If the Golden State Warriors want to cap a record-setting season with a second straight NBA title, they will need to survive the next two weeks without their best player.

Stephen Curry is expected to miss at least two weeks with a Grade 1 sprain of the MCL in his right knee, dealing an unexpected blow to the Warriors’ hopes of repeating as champions.

“From our perspective, it’s relatively good news,” general manager Bob Myers said Monday. “Clearly we don’t want to be here getting MRIs at this point of the season, especially someone of Steph’s stature. ... But mechanically the knee is intact, so that’s good.”

Myers said the two-week

estimate is an educated guess based on how players typically respond to similar injuries, but cautioned the absence could be three weeks or possibly slightly shorter.

The team will have a better handle on how long Curry will be out after about a week but Curry will miss the rest of the first round of the playoffs and almost assuredly the start of the second round if the Warriors advance. Golden State leads Houston 3-1 heading into Game 5 at home on Wednesday night.

“If it’s not two weeks, don’t go crazy,” Myers said. “If it’s before that, great. If it’s after, it’s after.”

Curry was injured on the final play of the first half of Sunday’s 121-94 win in Houston when he slid awkwardly on a wet spot on the court and fell.

He immediately grabbed his knee and jogged with a limp to

the locker room.

Curry came out with the team after halftime, but sat on the bench for most of the warmup time. After talking with coaches, he returned to the locker room with his second injury of the series. Curry had missed the previous two games with a sprained right ankle but said that was not an issue during the first half Sunday.

The Warriors thrived without Curry on Sunday, hitting eight 3-pointers in the third quarter alone to turn a tie game into a 21-point lead on the way to the easy win.

But doing that without the reigning MVP for a longer period of time figures to be more problematic. The Warriors have gone 3-2 this season without Curry playing, including wins against the Rockets on New Year’s Eve and at home in Game 2.

Adams County Speedway

RACING Update

Corning’s Buck Schafroth gets first victory at home track

By TREVOR MAEDER Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING — Opening Night at Adams County Speedway was quite a success. Ramsey Grinding night proved to be just as successful as the fans at the speedway were once again able to enjoy a night that consisted of wonderful weather and even better racing.

B-mods Last year “The Kid” Ryan Jenkins picked up four feature wins in the Stalker Chevrolet B-Mods en route to a third place finish in points. He got his fifth career win at ACS on Saturday.

Stanton native Andrew Clark started on the pole position and it looked like Clark might have what it would take for him to collect his first career win, however a mid-race caution allowed Josh Sink to take the lead.

Sink was able to put some distance on the rest of the field until a caution came out with less than five laps to go. On the restart, Jenkins was able to take advantage of the inside lane by passing Sink with three laps to go before cruising away to collect the victory. Clint Luellen

finished second followed by Sink, Kody Havens and Bret Shepard.

Pro stocks Last week it looked as if Joe Zadina was just perhaps a lap or two away from over-powering Greg Miller for the feature win. He made a statement win on Saturday night in the Northland Oil Pro-stocks. Zadina started in the sixth position but quickly worked his way up through the field and set his sights on pole sitter Butch Bass.

Zadina and Bass ran sideby-side for a handful laps before Zadina was able to overpower Bass. Zadina refused to look back after that, picking up the win in what turned out to be dominating fashion. Jeremy Swanson and Glen Hoyt battled to the line for second place with Hoyt edging out Swanson. Cody Clark came home fourth followed by Bass.

Hobby stocks It was a pretty good weekend for Corning native Buck Schafroth. On Friday night, Schafroth picked up his first ever feature win at Fairmont Speedway in Fairmont, Minnesota. About 24 hours later Schafroth collected his first ever win at his hometown

track in the Chat Mobility Hobby Stocks.

Schafroth started in fourth place and quickly maneuvered his way to the front followed by Luke Ramsey, who was able to race his way up from an eighth place starting position. It looked like Ramsey and Schafroth were destined for a thrilling finish until Ramsey suffered a flat right rear with six laps remaining and placing him to the back of the field.

Up front it was a battle of youngsters between Schafroth and Clarinda’s Kenny Champ who made his first racing appearance in two years. Schafroth and Champ battled side-by-side in the final laps with Schafroth prevailing. Kurt Hansen, Tom Myers and Keil Brittain rounded out the top five.

Modified Last week Jon Plowman suffered what he called a disappointing tenth place finish, He improved on that Saturday night dominating the Poet Biorefining Modified feature. Plowman started in second place and took the lead on the first lap, a position he was able to hold on to for the entire race. It was a rough night for two-time

defending champion Jesse Dennis as he suffered a flat tire late in the race that forced him to go into the pits. Jeff James came home second with Dylan Book, Todd Van Eaton and Jeff Wiggins behind him.

Late model Corey Zeitner was a force to be reckoned with in 2015 in his late model collecting four wins in almost just as many starts. Zeitner started his O’Reilly Auto Parts Late Model up front behind pole sitter Micah Brown. The two battled for the early part of the race before Zeitner overpowered Brown for the race lead and put a whole straightaway on the entire field to collect his fifth win in two years. Billy Leighton, Jr. finished in second Brown third, with last week’s winner Jase Kaser in fourth followed by Sterling Perkins.

It was a rough night for defending champion Paul Glendenning as he lost a motor in his No. 33 Glendenning Motors Chevrolet during his heat race. Glendenning was able to borrow the No. 65 car, whose seat was originally going to be held by Tim Cooney. Glendenning fell

IRFA applauds extension of state biofuel tax incentives Iowa Legislature overwhelmingly votes to extend policies to expand availability and use of ethanol and biodiesel. n

JOHNSTON — On Thursday night, the Iowa House of Representatives voted 88-6 to extend several important state tax incentives for homegrown renewable fuels, like ethanol and biodiesel, through 2024. The bill previously passed the Iowa Senate 49-0. “We commend the Iowa Legislature for its overwhelming support in taking this important step to continue Iowa’s leadership in renewable fuels,� said Grant Menke, Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) policy director. “Extending these tax incentives supports Iowa jobs, cleaner air, competition in the fuel marketplace and Iowa’s motorists through lower fuel prices.�

Included in legislation that is now headed to Gov. Terry Branstad for final approval is an extension of two retailer tax credits for ethanol blends. The E85 Promotion Tax Credit, available for fuel blends containing 70 to 85 percent ethanol, was extended at 16 cents per gallon. The

E15 tax credit, available for fuel blends containing 15 to 69 percent ethanol, was extended at 3 cents per gallon from Sept. 16 through May 31 and 10 cents per gallon from June 1 through Sept.

15 to help alleviate the summertime blending issues for registered E15.

The forward-thinking legislation also included an extension and adjustment of the Biodiesel Blended Fuel Retailer Tax Credit. While the incentive will continue at 4.5 cents per gallon for retailers offering a biodiesel blend containing a minimum of 5 percent biodiesel (B5) through 2017, from 2018 through 2024 it will then provide a 3.5 cents per gallon incentive on B5 and a 5.5 cents per gallon credit on B11, or diesel blended with a minimum of 11 percent biodiesel.

According to a recent IRFA study, Iowa’s renewable fuels industry accounts for more than $4.6 billion of Iowa GDP, generates $2.3 billion in income for Iowa households and supports more than 43,000 jobs throughout all sectors of the Iowa economy.

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.

The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association 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.
