The intersection of British and Southern accents and a supposed non-English-speaking character who, in fact, does speak English, create a humorous environment in award-winning play “The Foreigner.”

Members of the South-

western Community College (SWCC) drama club will perform “The Foreigner” for its spring play 7 p.m.

Thursday through Saturday in the Performing Arts Center theater in Creston.

Tickets are $5 for students and $7 for the general public.

“It’s a little different than what we normally do,” said SWCC music student Joseph Larson, who plays British character Froggy LeSeuer. “The jokes are all in the lines and how they are said. You can say lines a thousand ways, but you have to say them just right for this (play) to get the joke to come across right.”

This one-set play takes place at a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited

by Froggy, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby army base. Froggy brings along a friend, Charlie Baker (Zack Scheel), who is a pathologically shy young man overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. To help Charlie avoid conversation, Froggy tells all assembled Charlie is from a foreign country and speaks no English.

Once alone, Charlie overhears more than he should – the evil plans of sinister, two-faced minis-

ter David Marshall Lee (Brandon Egli) and his redneck associate, Owen Musser (Stephen Jefferies).

Charlie also overhears the minister’s fiancée say she is pregnant and other damaging revelations made with the thought that Charlie doesn’t understand a word being said.

“It’s funny, fast-paced and a glorious misunderstanding, where poor Charlie is stuck as this accidental keeper of secrets as he overhears all this terrible stuff,” said Jefferies, SWCC English instructor who plays Owen. “I enjoy being the bad guy because that’s SWCC | 2A

Trump, Clinton press closer to general election showdown WASHINGTON (AP) — Bolstering his grip on the Republican primaries, Donald Trump prepared Wednesday for a general election showdown with Hillary Clinton, accusing the Democratic front-runner of “playing the woman card” in her presidential campaign.

Trump swept five states in Tuesday’s Northeast primaries, bringing him tantalizingly close to securing the Republican nomination against Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Clinton, meanwhile, is now 90 percent of the way to her

party’s nomination after four solid victories of her own.

Trump, the Republican businessman, pushed forward with his charge that Clinton is “playing the woman card,” telling CNN’s “New Day” in a telephone interview Wednesday that “she does have the woman card” but said that “a lot of women don’t like Hillary, despite the card.”

Clinton said during her Tuesday night rally in Philadelphia that Trump had accused her of playing the “woman card,” telling supporters, “if fighting for

women’s health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the ‘woman card,’ then deal me in.”

The Republican race now turns to Indiana, where next week’s primary marks one of Cruz’s last chances to slow Trump and push the race toward a contested convention. While Trump does need to keep winning in order to stay on his narrow path to the GOP nomination, he declared himself the party’s “presumptive nominee” after Tuesday’s results rolled in.

“It’s over. As far as I’m concerned it’s over,” he de-

CORNING — Jon A. Rubendall, 42, and James Keith Bost, 40, both pleaded guilty to second-degree murder after separate hearings starting 10 a.m. Tuesday at Adams County Courthouse in Corning.

The plea deal was for the second-degree murder death of Allen Pafford of Nodaway instead of first-degree murder and first-degree robbery charges.

Second-degree murder is a class B felony with a mandatory 50-year prison sentence. The sentencing for both Rubendall and Bost is tentatively scheduled for 11 a.m. May 16 at Adair County Courthouse in Greenfield.

Both Rubendall and Bost were being held on no bond until the sentencing hearing.

During the Tuesday hearings, Judge John Lloyd asked each defendant if they understood what they were doing and how the proceedings would work. They both said they understood.

During Rubendall’s hearing, Lloyd asked him to explain what happ e n e d June 19, 2015.

“Bost and I had Rubendall went to Pafford’s house. Bost scored

there I had put Mr. Pafford in a chokehold. Bost hit him over the head with a pistol,” Rubendall said. “I left the room, and that’s when I heard the gunshot go off.”

Bost’s hearing occurred after Rubendall’s, and he told Lloyd a different story.

“I was with Mr. Rubendall. We went to see Allen Pafford to collect money that was owed on a drug debt. I was under the impression we were going to rough him up, get the money and leave,” Bost said. “I did hit Mr. Pafford twice, and I knew that Jon Rubendall did have a gun because he Bost displayed it often. I knew that as a result he shot Allen Pafford. Of the beating and the shots, that’s why Mr. Pafford died.”

Lloyd and Scott Brown, the assistant attorney general representing the prosecution, as well as the court-appointed attorneys for Bost and Rubendall, agreed the statements the defendants gave were factually based.

Lloyd agreed to approve the amended trial information, which included the plea deals, once the hearings were completed.

with 55 percent of the vote.

Trump planned to deliver a foreign policy speech in Washington and then campaign in Indiana. The address at a downtown hotel is the first in a series of speeches the Republican front-runner is expected to give in the coming weeks, all with the goal of easing Americans’ concerns about his readiness for the presidency.

Likewise, Clinton was eager to turn her attention to Trump. While Clinton advisers say they won’t underestimate Trump, as many of his vanquished Republican rivals did, her campaign sees opportunities to not only energize Democrats in an effort to keep him out of the White House but also appeal to Republicans turned off by the brash billionaire.

“If you are a Democrat, an independent or a thoughtful Republican, you know that their approach is not going Clinton to build an America where we increase opportunity or decrease inequality,” Clinton said of the GOP candidates.

Trump’s victories came in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Clinton ceded only Rhode Island to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Sanders, in an interview with The Associated Press, conceded he has a “very narrow path and we’re going to have to win some big victories.”

In the Republican race, Cruz and Kasich are desperately trying to force a convention fight. The challengers have even taken the rare step of announcing plans

to coordinate in upcoming contests to try to minimize Trump’s delegate totals.

But that effort did little to stop Trump from a big showing in the Northeast, where he picked up at least 105 of the 118 delegates up for grabs. He now has 950 of the 1,237 delegates he needs to secure the nomination.

Cruz spent Tuesday in Indiana, where Kasich’s campaign has withdrawn in an attempt to give the Texas senator a clear path.

“Tonight this campaign moves back to more favorable terrain,” Cruz said during an evening rally in Knightstown, Indiana.

Cruz announced Wednesday morning in Indianapolis that he would make a “major announcement” later in the day amid speculation that he may name former rival Carly Fiorina as a running mate.

Asked earlier on Fox & Friends about Cruz potentially naming a running mate, Trump said, “to me it looks ridiculous, he’s not going to get the nomination.”

Democrats award delegates proportionally, which allowed Clinton to maintain her lead over Sanders even as he rattled off a string of wins in recent contests. According to the AP count, Clinton now has 2,141 delegates while Sanders has 1,321.

That count includes delegates won in primaries and caucuses, as well as superdelegates — party insiders who can back the candidate of their choice, regardless of how their state votes.

Sanders has vowed to stay in the race until voting wraps up in June. He continues to raise millions of dollars and attract big crowds, including Tuesday night in West Virginia, where he urged his supporters to recognize that they are “powerful people if you choose to exercise that power.”

pole. Dockweiler said the men picked up their spent shell casings. Dockweiler showed officers the area that the group shot the handgun.

Three fired 9mm cartridge casings were located, and two bullets were also recovered from the barrel.

Investigators located a fired 9mm cartridge casing and a bullet that appeared to have come from a HiPoint handgun. The bullet and shell casing were found next to Pafford’s body.

A June 22, 2015, autopsy performed by the associate state medical examiner ruled Pafford’s death a homicide.

Agents from the Iowa Department of Public Safety’s (DPS) Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) trav-

eled to Hiawatha, Kansas, June 26, 2015, to interview witnesses and persons of interest, including Bost and Rubendall.

During the interview, Bost said Pafford owed Rubendall $3,000 for drugs.

Several items of Pafford’s were found in Rubendall’s residence.

The female witness with Bost and Rubendall at Pafford’s residence placed both Bost and Rubendall at the location inside the room where Pafford was found shot. The witness did not support Bost’s contention that he was not in Pafford’s residence when Pafford was shot.

Bost and Rubendall were originally charged June 26, 2015.

Rubendall left his hearing with tears in his eyes. Bost’s face was stoic when he left the courtroom.

Background According to an Adams County Sheriff report released in June 2015, Pafford’s mother, Kathryn Pafford, found her son in his bedroom and called 911 at 11:19 a.m. June 20, 2015.

The report states Pafford was found on his knees, slouched over, with his head on the floor. A bed sheet was wrapped around his neck and head, and his hands were bound with a blue nylon strap similar in

nature to a truck or trailer ratchet tie-down. His feet were bound with a nylon rope that was connected to the blue strap. There appeared to be a bullet wound to the back of his head, according to the report.

According to the report, it was discovered two men fitting the general description of Bost and Rubendall, as well as a third man and a woman, were at the home of Jebidiah Dockweiler of Clarinda, who said they were interested in where they could find Pafford.

Dockweiler was told Pafford owed the men money.

Dockweiler said the men shot two or three magazines from a Hi-Point handgun, striking a 55-gallon barrel that was placed on top of a

Former U.S. House speaker arrives for sentencing in hush-money case CHICAGO (AP) — Dennis Hastert arrived Wednesday in federal court to learn his sentence in a hush-money case centered on accusations that the former U.S. House speaker sexually abused at least four students decades ago when he coached wrestling at an Illinois high school.

Hastert, who was wheeled into the building in Chicago, pleaded guilty last year to breaking banking law as he sought to pay $3.5 million to someone identified in court papers only as Individual A to conceal a dark secret from the Republican’s past. His plea deal suggested anything from probation to a maximum of six months behind bars.

But after prosecutors lifted a veil of secrecy from the case, the judge made comments suggesting he might impose a longer sentence, potentially putting Hastert behind bars for years, because of the abuse allegations.

Word that one of the accusers will speak at the sentencing hearing is sure to turn up the pressure on Judge Thomas M. Durkin

to reject defense calls for probation and send the Illinois Republican to prison.

If that happens, Hastert, who was second in the line of succession to the presidency after the vice president and the nation’s longest-serving GOP speaker, would become one of the highest-ranking politicians in American history ever to be incarcerated.

Possible sentence Defense attorneys are asking for probation on the grounds that Hastert has already paid a high price in disgrace. They also cite his health, saying a blood infection nearly killed him in November and that a stroke has limited his mobility.

Prosecutors did not recommend a specific sentence, but their reference to sexual abuse on nearly every page of their 26-page sentencing memo suggests they want notable prison time.

Hastert’s plea deal set the sentencing range from zero to six months in prison. But guidelines in federal court are just that: guides. If he chooses, the judge could

give Hastert the maximum sentence available — five years in prison.

Until this month, it was hard to gauge what Durkin might be thinking. But at a recent hearing, he let his dismay show for the first time.

He singled out how Hastert in a 2015 interview with federal agents sought to deflect blame by falsely accusing Individual A of extorting him with a bogus sex-abuse claim. That lie would factor into the sentencing calculations, Durkin added: “That’s a big one.”

Allegations Prosecutors went into graphic detail about the sex-abuse allegations for the first time this month, even describing how Hastert would sit in a recliner chair in the locker room with a direct view of the showers.

Individual D, the one who plans to testify Wednesday, said he was 17 when Hastert abused him after offering the teen a massage, according to court documents

Every

804 S. Mulberry — Creston —

filed by the government.

The victims, prosecutors said, were boys between 14 and 17. Hastert was in his 20s and 30s. The abuse occurred in a motel and the locker room at Yorkville High School outside Chicago.

Hastert statement

It isn’t clear whether Hastert will make a statement at the sentencing and, if so, if it would include an apology.

Hastert has not personally apologized— though his attorneys have described him as apologetic, saying their client “is deeply sorry ... his misconduct that occurred decades ago.” Conspicuously absent was any mention of sexual abuse.

His lawyers may have risked raising the judge’s ire when they questioned whether what Hastert did to Individual A — including touching his genitals during a massage — legally constituted sexual abuse.

Prosecutors hit back in their sentencing memo: “There is no ambiguity; defendant sexually abused Individual A.”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, April 27, 2016

We’re all in this together May is nearly here and the school year is nearly complete. This time of year always feels like a sprint in school with so much teaching and learning to get accomplished with the days rapidly counting down.

Prom has come and gone, but several other student events are coming up, such as the annual Creston Future Farmers of America banquet and regional, district and state competitions in all the spring activities.

Graduation is right around the corner as well with Baccalaureate scheduled for Wednesday, May 18, and Commencement for Sunday, May 22. The members of the class of 2016 are nearly ready to move on to their next chapters in life.

Various other appreciation celebrations coming up include: Teacher Appreciation Week - May 2-6 Teacher Appreciation Day - May 3 School Board Appreciation Month May

From the desk of Steve McDermott Creston Superintendent

Chamber of Commerce Coffee Board Appreciation Coffee – 3:30 p.m. May 11 at Creston Elementary/Middle School Bus driver appreciation and service awards - 8:30 a.m. May 25 Staff appreciation - 2:45 p.m. May 25 in high school auditorium

These events are always great opportunities to show respect and appreciation for work well done over the years. These celebrations also remind us that we should all thank others around us for both the special and the ordinary efforts we notice and appreciate each day. We all have our own personal, important roles in our community.

On another topic, the superin-

tendents and board presidents from Creston and Orient-Macksburg recently met to review current sharing agreements and to discuss the potential for other additional sharing in the future. A focus on what is best for kids and their learning was the primary theme throughout the meeting. The relationship between the two districts has been very positive and productive for nearly 30 years.

Of course, football was first shared in the late 1980s with wrestling to follow, as well as other programs including tennis, golf and bowling.

That success has germinated and grown into much more significant sharing of high school academic courses, with O-M students taking several different classes at Creston Community High School (CCHS) each day. Nodaway Valley students also attend Career and Technical Education (CTE – Industrial Arts)

classes at CCHS. Of course, students from all three districts also take many college courses together at Southwestern Community College.

The point is the learning needs of young people in our general region are being met more effectively and efficiently due to the willingness of area school districts to work together. This kind of sharing requires vision beyond today and sometimes uncomfortable change. However, every time, our students adapt much more quickly than we adults do and they tend to flourish in new learning environments.

Nowhere has that fact been more evident than with the former Prescott students that came to Creston for the first time this school year. That set of youngsters has done so well in their new surroundings and they have each made many new friends. I must also add that the teachers who made

that same transition from Prescott to Creston have responded favorably as well. Starting July 1, the new Creston Community School District, Prescott and Creston combined, will officially open for business.

The very positive sharing relationship with Orient-Macksburg Schools will continue to march forward as we plan for the learning and success of local girls and boys for many years to come. Sharing with Nodaway Valley and the sharing of teachers with Murray and Lenox will continue as well. The collaboration of school districts is more important than ever given limited resources and our strong desire to provide outstanding learning experiences for all of our local youngsters. We all want the best for our kids and they depend on our ability to work together for their benefit.

We’re all in this together.

Prince leaves $600M estate HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Queen Elizabeth posed for a stamp on her ninetieth birthday Friday. The latest CNN poll gives the Queen of England an eighty-two percent approval among Americans. This is what happens when the voters see three choices this election, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump or Forget It, Let’s Go Home.

The New York Post reports Prince left a six hundred million dollar estate plus future royalties from his unreleased work. His fans paid tribute to his creative genius by gathering outside his estate and singing his songs. In more sad news for the music industry today, Kanye West is still alive.

Russia’s military tested its new hypersonic ICBM missile called Satan a day after China tested an ICBM that could hit the U.S. in thirty minutes. We’re clueless to the threat. When Californians in the latest CNN poll were asked what ICBM’s bring to mind, their number one answer was, bad doggie.

Donald Trump in a speech Monday ripped the U.S. Appellate Court’s decision to reinstate Tom Brady’s four-game suspension.

There’s a certain synergy there. For the rest of his life Tom Brady will be accused of playing with deflated balls, something that Donald Trump will never be accused of.

Ted Cruz formed an alliance with John Kasich to try to stop Donald Trump’s advance to the nomination. One is a solid conservative and one a bleeding heart moderate. Ted Cruz and John Kasich joining forces is the worst idea since Sudafed teamed up with Arm and Hammer baking soda.

The Treasury Department said Harriet Tubman’s portrait will not

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

be on the face of the twenty-dollar bill replacing Andrew Jackson for three years. Trump said he opposes changing the bill. It’s sure to help Trump carry the South, which according to polls now extends to the Canadian border.

North Korea’s dictator Kim Jung Un declared North Korea’s intercontinental missile test fired from a submarine a complete success Monday. He vowed to attack the United States. Kim’s been on the warpath ever since one of his generals told him that Dennis Rodman is not President Obama.

President Obama met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel Monday and heaped praise on Germany as our ally and our partner in peace. They may have over-reformed. The Germans have been going to Countries Anonymous meetings for so long that other countries now are invading them.

Virginia Democratic governor Terry McAuliffe signed an executive order in Richmond Friday allowing two hundred thousand felons in Virginia to vote in the next election. It’s a shrewd political move. The thinking is, if a man has been incarcerated long enough, even Hillary is liable to look good.

President Obama sent two hundred more U.S. troops to Syria to aid the Free Syrian Army on Monday in their three-way civil war. It’s not just a theater of war, it’s a multiplex. If you wonder who the Free Syrian Army is, they’re our Mideast allies that we will be fighting this time next year.

Letter to the editor

Show pride in your properties and Creston

From Diana Loomis Creston

For a very long time, I’ve felt frustrated about the condition and appearances of many of the properties in Creston. When it was announced RAGBRAI would come to town for a stop overnight, I had to wonder what our visitors would think if they rode their bikes, touring the residential areas.

How safely they can tour Creston on a bike on our streets is another

question.

Recently I drove a grid of three streets east-west and north-south as far as I could. Every street had yards that were overgrown or bare (muddy) from being used as a parking lot. There are yards littered with everything from cars, old appliances, trash, limbs and much more.

Structures on many properties have been so neglected, they are falling down.

I also saw broken, overgrown or uneven sidewalks. Some had even

been removed and not replaced.

That some residents have let their houses, garages and yards become such eyesores are showing such disrespect to their neighbors who do take pride in their surroundings.

I don’t expect to see Creston to become full of vine covered cottages, framed by trellises and picket fences covered with roses, but is it too much to expect our visitors to ride our streets and not have these unsightly properties capturing their attention?

Blue skies smiling NEW ORLEANS — Rain falls differently here, in entire puddles, not individual drops. Nobody stops.

Not for a little rain.

The homeless street youth shrugs and shakes the wet from his dreadlocks, the bag ladies pull their plastic ponchos over tousled heads, the tourists squeal and run for the nearest bar.

The day before Jazz Fest is Christmas Eve, and every street corner has the best music you ever heard, or at least the best you’ve heard in a long while. It’s a citywide audition for a heavenly band.

Pianist Tom McDermott plays his effortless ragtime and blues — something The New York Times aptly described as “time-warped parlor music” — in a joint called Three Muses. McDermott seems to use the clatter of the bar as complementary instrumentation, rendering otherwise noisy distractions powerless to stop his poetry.

Across the street at the Spotted Cat, Miss Sophie Lee sings about “blue skies” as if to dismiss the pelting rain. Before she begins her set, wedding singer Monty Banks plays a rousing keyboard and punctuates the end of one song with a partial split on the concrete floor. Liberace meets knee replacement. Then, without

a hitch, he channels Irma Thomas.

I don’t know what it is exactly about New Orleans. Your chin can be hanging so low it scrapes the storm sewers, but after a few songs and a couple of rounds the will to live bubbles up from that part of the soul that badly needed a spring shower.

The streets are dirty, parking is hopeless, the clubs are crowded, the drinks expensive, and all anyone talks about is crime. How many armed robberies happened in a fourblock area in a month, that kind of thing.

And yet we keep going back, and back again, to hear the music and satisfy the urge to live outside the box, if only for an evening. Life isn’t neat and tidy and free of bloodshed.

And New Orleans is about life, the creative way to live it.

Speaking of creativity, I visited with a friend here not long ago.

Kenneth Holditch is a Mississippi native and professor emeritus of American literature at the University of New Orleans, where he

taught for 32 years.

Holditch lives in a cathedral of books with a few nooks and crannies carved out in which to eat and sleep and make room for his paintings on the wall, including those of Tennessee Williams. Who knew?

Holditch is considering where to leave his books, but even the thought of parting after death with his vast library makes him sad. To hear him say that makes me glad, in this day when everyone seems to be clearing their personal shelves in a misguided lemmings march to Sea Simplicity.

Holditch is the mastermind behind literary tours of the French Quarter and a respected Tennessee Williams scholar. He also is the archetypal transplant, who came as a youth from Tupelo to New Orleans with his parents and swore he’d someday live here. On that first visit, the family had a delicious if sober meal at Galatoire’s; later Holditch wrote a book about the restaurant.

“In a figurative sense,” Holditch writes, “I had taken a streetcar named Desire, transferred to one called Cemeteries and wound up on the Elysian Fields I wanted: the French Quarter and Galatoire’s.”

Nothing but blue skies, did he see.

DES MOINES – Although pond plant growth is not exactly the same each year, if you had problems using your pond last year, chances are similar problems will exist this year.

A healthy pond needs aquatic plant habitat, but too much of a good thing can inhibit the pond’s use and cause imbalances in the fish population. In an existing pond, mechanical and chemical vegetation control are your best options for immediate control and are generally most effective if you start early, when plant growth is not at its maximum level. If you wait until growths are thick, control will be difficult, take longer and could result in water quality issues that harm fish.

Mechanical methods include bottom blanketing, shading, removal and water draw-down. Temporarily blanket the bottom of a private pond and leave in place for 30 days early in the season to inhibit plant growth in fishing or swimming areas. Use weighted weed barriers, thick black plastic (punctured to allow gases to escape) or commercially available bottom barriers.

To shade a pond, apply a pond dye in April to reduce the amount of light needed for plant growth. This is most effective in ponds with a small watershed. Many blue and black pond dye products are available for pond beautification. Aquashade or Admiral, both blue dyes, are the only products labeled by the EPA for plant suppression. Re-application at a reduced rate is essential throughout the spring and summer as the product is diluted by inflowing water or decomposed by ultra-violet light.

Removal is a low-cost method to take out plants from high-use areas. It can be done by hand or with rakes and cutters purchased from retail outlets. Drawdown the pond’s water level this spring or winter to expose aquatic plants to drying or freezing conditions to limit their growth in future months.

Herbicides will control pond vegetation chemically, though retreatment may be

necessary to get season-long control. Follow these five steps with any herbicide application: 1) correctly identify the plant to be controlled; 2) measure the area to be treated (surface area and average depth); 3) read the herbicide label to determine the correct timing and amount to apply; 4) identify potential restrictions on uses of the water (e.g., irrigation or watering animals); and 5) apply according to label directions. All aquatic herbicides produce the best result if applied on a calm, sunny morning.

Granular herbicides are attractive because of their ease of application, but many granular products are 2,4-D-based and are only effective on broadleaf plants.

Most aquatic plants are in the grass family, so the 2,4D products will not be effective.

Most underwater plants can be controlled with any diquat-based product. Algae and a few underwater plants can be treated with copper-based herbicides; some of these products are granular. Application of liquid herbicides to underwater plants requires that the liquid be applied underwater to be in contact with the plants unless otherwise specified on the label. It kills by contact, and is not as effective if sprayed on the water’s surface or applied in muddy water. Active ingredients that do well in muddy water are endothall or copper complexes.

Use of more than one of the above methods may be needed to provide the desired level of plant control.

All of these methods work best if used early in the season, before plants reach the pond’s surface.

More information on aquatic plant identification and some of these methods can be found on the Department of Natural Resources website by going to www.iowadnr.gov and search “Pond Plants.�

from April 24 to May 1.

The week is an opportunity to recognize the important conservation practices placed on Iowa’s landscape and bring attention to the ongoing work by farmers, landowners and urban residents to protect the state’s soil and water resources. “Iowans in our towns and on our farms continue to engage in water quality and soil conservation efforts.

This week is an opportunity to celebrate all the work that has been done and highlight the efforts currently underway to prevent erosion and improve water quality,�

Northey said. “It is vital that we preserve the soil and water resources that help make Iowa agriculture so productive and such a key driver of our state’s economy.�

On Monday, Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds visited Iowa State University (ISU) to receive updates on the work being done by the Nutrient Research Center at the university. Branstad will also sign a proclamation recognizing April 24 – May 1 as Iowa Soil and Water Conservation Week during the event, which was held at ISU’s cover crop research site.

ent reduction practices in each of Iowa’s 99 counties.

The practices that were eligible for this funding were cover crops, no-till or strip till or using a nitrification inhibitor when applying fall fertilizer. Farmers using cost share funding contribute 50 percent or more to the total cost of the practice. There are also currently 45 existing demonstration projects located across the state to help implement and demonstrate water quality practices through the initiative. This includes 16 targeted watershed projects, seven projects focused on expanding the use and innovative delivery of water quality practices and 22 urban water quality demonstration projects. More than 100 organizations are participating in these projects. These partners will provide $19.31 million dollars to go with over $12 million in state funding going to these projects.

Northey, a corn and soybean farmer from Spirit Lake, is serving his third term as secretary of agriculture. His priorities are promoting the use of science and new technologies to better care for our air, soil and water, and reaching out to tell the story of Iowa agriculture.

Natural Resources Conservation Service and others provide leadership in soil health, soil conservation, water quality and the protection and enhancement of our natural resources.

Much has been accomplished in the last 75 years of conservation work.

We would like to take this time to thank the local producers of their accomplishments in Union

Hints from Heloise Billings (Mont.) Gazette Send them to the compost bin! Most frozen vegetables last about a year under optimal conditions, meaning the freezer (not in the door) is set at 0 degrees F and stays constant.

If the veggies did not stay frozen completely, they “thawed” a little and then froze into a block! – Heloise POTLUCK PASTA Dear Heloise: I made pasta the other day and had quite a bit left over.

The deficit Toronto overcame to beat Indiana Tuesday, largest playoff comeback in franchise history.

National Digest

Clipper woes LOS ANGELES (AP) — Blake Griffin is out for the rest of the playoffs after aggravating his left quadriceps tendon and Chris Paul had right hand surgery Tuesday, leaving the stunned Los Angeles Clippers without their top two players for the remainder of their firstround series against Portland.

The team said Griffin had an MRI that revealed no further structural damage to the quad that he originally injured in a game on Dec. 25. He missed 41 games and an additional four as punishment for punching the team’s assistant equipment manager, returning on April 3. He’s expected to be ready for training camp in September.

Paul had surgery to repair a hand fracture sustained in the third quarter of Monday night’s 98-84 loss in Game 4 that allowed Portland to tie the best-of-seven series 2-2. He appeared to catch his hand on Gerald Henderson’s jersey.

Griffin averaged 15.0 points, 8.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists, while Paul averaged 23.8 points, 7.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds in the series.

Game 5 is Wednesday at Staples Center.

Raptors up TORONTO (AP) — DeMar DeRozan scored 34 points and the Raptors held on for a 102-99 victory over the Indiana Pacers and a 3-2 lead in their first-round series Tuesday night when Solomon Hill’s 3-pointer was ruled after the buzzer.

“I just felt like my normal self,” said DeRozan, who came in shooting 29.6 percent (21 for 71) over the first four games of the series but connected on 10 of 22 shots in this one.

The Raptors overcame 39 points from Paul George and a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter, getting 14 points from Kyle Lowry.

Bismack Biyombo had 10 points and 16 rebounds for the second-seeded Raptors, who can clinch the first seven-game playoff series victory in franchise history by beating the Pacers in Indiana on Friday night.

Manziel indicted DALLAS (AP) — Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Manziel was indicted Tuesday on allegations by ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley that he hit her and threatened to kill her in late January. Crowley said in court documents that Manziel struck her so hard that she temporarily lost hearing in one ear, and the indictment accuses him “forcing (her) into a vehicle and against a vehicle dashboard.”

Manziel faces a charge of misdemeanor assault related to family violence, which carries up to one year in jail and a $4,000 fine.

Panthers, Raiderettes win Lady Charger Relays

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

CHARITON — Both Creston and Mount Ayr won team titles here Tuesday at the Lady Charger Relays.

Creston cruised to the Class AA title with 196 points, as Davis County finished runner-up with 132 points. Mount Ayr scored 162.5 points to finish 7.5 points ahead of runner-up Wayne in Class A. “Was definitely a different lineup,” Creston head coach Clay Arnold said. “We come over here, competition is a lot different from what we’ve been seeing. It’s always a fast track over here.

A good confidence booster for a lot of those girls. We’ve been running against some pretty elite competition.

Some of these younger girls come over here and get in some closer races to begin with, and that helps them run some fast times.”

Junior Hannah Hood led Creston’s charge of doubling up in events by winning both the shot put and Hood the discus, while junior Cammy Rutherford finished fifth in both events.

“Cammy, we were really looking for her to score big points,” Arnold said. “She did. In the disc, she did a really good job getting her spin down. She PR four times.”

The Panther 4x800 relay team struck gold with the team of Lexie Little, Brielle Baker, Jami Sickels and Taylor Briley. Sickels ran a season’s best split of 2:37.71.

The distance medley relay team of Josie Sickels, Kiersten Latham, Saige Rice and Baker also picked up a gold medal. Rice ran a PR split of 1:04.53 on the 400-meter leg, while Baker anchored in 2:28.98.

Creston’s 4x200 relay team of Amber Castillo, Cayla Maitlen, Josie Sickels and Latham ran a big season’s best time of 1:52.19 in winning the event.

“The 4x2, it was a different lineup,” Arnold said. “We put those girls in there to run a season best and we had it.

We’d tried to run some fast times in that before, too. To do that was impressive.”

The Panther 4x400 relay team won in 4:20.79 and saw the return to the lineup of sophomore Breanna Wallace, who was a key component to last year’s state placewinning relay team.

R i c e led off and Wallace ran a 1:05.04 split on the second leg to reel in Wallace Knoxville.

Stephanie Hemsworth and Briley rounded out the lineup.

“At Carroll, she (Wallace) ran the open 400 and ran a 69 or 70,” Arnold said. “But she ran it, she was awesome.

She ran down the Knoxville girl, got us close again.

Great to see her back in the 4x400.”

Briley won the 800 meters in 2:35.42 and Jami Sickels took third in 2:41.77.

The Pant h e r s doubled up in the Briley 100 meter dash with Amber Castillo taking second and Cayla Maitlen finishing fourth.

Briley ran 1:01.82 for second place in the 400 meter dash, with Hemsworth taking fourth in 1:03.84.

CARLISLE — A banged up Creston boys track team finished 13th in the 14-team field here Tuesday at the Wildcat Relays.

The Panthers placed in two events, highlighted by a big season’s best performance by the 4x800 relay team.

All four members of the relay team ran season-best splits, as the Panthers knocked 22 seconds off their previous best time.

The team of Dalten Bierle (2:16), Brody Frain (2:11), Kyle Fenton (2:17) and Nick W a l s h (2:07) easily cruised to a 22-second win in the Frain slow heat and placed sixth overall with a time of 8:52.91.

“All four had season’s best splits,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said.

“Brody Frain, that 2:11, that’s a career best for him.

That was his first 800 since

he’s come back from the hip flexor problem earlier in the season. He added quite a bit to the relay team. That’s nice seeing that relay cut down the times like they did.”

Creston’s only other placewinner came in the shot put, where s o p h o m o r e Trevor Downing p l a c e d Downing eighth with his throw of 41 feet.

“Getting eighth place, that was against pretty good competition,” Schlapia said.

Schlapia tested out a new combination in the distance medley relay and the team of Mitchel Swank, Kadon Hulett, Bierle and Walsh delivered with a season’s best time of 4:07.11.

The Southwestern men shot a season-low 309 on Thursday at the NIACC Spring Tournament at Mason City County Club, which was

Waldorf, three strokes behind fourth-place Iowa Central and only eight strokes behind nationally-ranked Kirkwood in third at 301. “It was another tight race in the ICCAC,� North said. “There were eight strokes between third and sixth place, and unfortunately we were at the bottom of that tight race again.�

Avery Elliott’s round of 74, tied for eighth, led the Spartans at Mason City.

Kirkwood sophomore Carson Whittington of Creston was tied for 12th at 75. The SWCC women were led by a 93 by Wells. “I think everybody is excited for regionals,� North said. “The girls’ scores are dropping, the guys’ scores are dropping, this is an exciting couple of weeks!�

In boys play, the Titans improved to 1-3 in the Hawkeye 10 and 3-5 overall by breaking the 0-0 deadlock late in the match. Creston fell to 0-4 and 2-8, but coach Lucian Diaconu said his inexperienced squad played a strong match. “We played a great game.

We were consistent and focused,� Diaconu said. “In the first half we possessed a lot of balls. We had a couple opportunities to score, but they had a lot of defenders back to stop us. I was pleased with how we

The Panther coach also praised his revamped defense.

Evan Jacobson joined Cole Higgins in the center back position and they diffused many Titan attacks before they reached goalkeeper Payton Pryor, who finished with three saves. “Payton had an excellent game today and defensively we did a great job,� Diaconu said. “If we did not play like that on defense, it would have been a different game. Their last goal with 42 seconds left in the game came when we had pushed our numbers up to try to tie the game. They took advantage of the gap we left behind and they were able to score a second goal.�

The Panthers’ busy week continues Thursday with a trip to nninth-ranked Glenwood (4-0 Hawkeye 10, 8-3 overall).

Lewis Central girls (4-0, 6-1) dominated from the outset, taking a 5-0 lead in the opening 10 minutes, stretched to 7-0 at the 15:06 mark of the half. Two goals in the final two minutes of the half pushed the

lead over the mercy rule margin. “They are an excellent team and we didn’t play with the consistency you need against a team like that,�

Creston coach Kim Lauffer said. “Leah Schuler wasn’t available tonight and we had Shelby Palser in the goal. She had some fantastic saves.�

Creston (1-4, 1-6) seeks its second win of the season in a 5 p.m. (varsity only) match at home Friday against Oakland Riverside.

Family Features

inco de Mayo is, officially, a holiday celebrating Mexico’s victory over France in the 1862 Battle of Puebla. In the U.S., where it is actually celebrated with more gusto than in its native country, the holiday has become a celebration of Mexican heritage and culture.

The holiday also provides a great excuse to make irresist­ ible Mexican-inspired recipes for entertaining and, of course, a big batch of margaritas to wash it all down. Fresh sweet corn is an essential component of many Mexican dishes and a cultural staple.

Luckily, Cinco de Mayo falls right in the middle of Florida’s Sunshine Sweet Corn season, meaning that the sweetest corn, available all year, arrives just in time to be a part of your Cinco de Mayo celebration. These naturallybred varieties are grown by a group of family farmers who are committed to producing the finest sweet corn.

Get the fiesta started with this Fire Roasted Corn and Chorizo Dip and a big bowl of tortilla chips. Crunchy, spicy, sweet and creamy, this addictive dip will have your guests asking for more.

Next, be sure to serve Mexican Style Corn, a truly authentic and delicious Mexican street food. Crunchy ears of fresh sweet corn are charred to perfection then slathered with a mixture of cheese and mayo, sprinkled with chili powder and squirted with lime for simple flavor perfection.

Finally, no Cinco de Mayo celebration is complete without tacos. For a healthful twist on your typical taco, try this recipe for Charred Corn Tacos with Radish Zucchini Slaw that will have both vegetarians and meat eaters clamoring for seconds.

Incorporating more healthful whole foods and veggies into your Cinco de Mayo celebration this year makes it easier to justify one more margarita. No matter what you serve at your Cinco de Mayo celebration, make sure to incorporate the sweet and wholesome flavor of fresh spring sweet corn.

FIRE ROASTED CORN AND CHORIZO DIP

Serves: 8 to 12

3 to 4 ears Sunshine Sweet Corn

1 small onion, peeled and sliced into rings

1 small red bell pepper

1 cup cooked chorizo

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1/2 pound spicy pepper cheese, like pepper-jack or habanero cheddar 1/4 cup chopped green onions Preheat oven to 400°F and preheat grill to high heat. Remove cornhusks and corn silk, and place fresh Florida Sweet Corn, onion slices and red bell pepper on grill. Grill corn and bell pepper for 8 to 10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes until all sides are slightly charred. Grill onion slices for approximately 3 minutes per side. When veggies are cool enough to handle, cut corn off cob. Then chop onions and pepper, removing pepper seeds. In 8-by-8-inch baking dish or one-quart souffle dish, mix all ingredients together until well combined. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until edges are bubbly.

Serve warm with tortilla chips.

This pasta dish is delicious with either grilled or rotisserie chicken. If asparagus is not in season, you can use broccoli as a good substitute. Make sure you use the heavy cream as it will make a rich and creamy sauce for the pasta, chicken and asparagus.

This dish is best served immediately. To complement this dish, serve a salad, Italian bread and dessert. Smakelijk eten!

ChiCken and asparagus Bowtie pasta with alfredo sauCe 3 cups grilled or rotisserie chicken, cubed 1-2 lbs. asparagus, tough ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 lb. bowtie (farfalle) pasta 2 Tbsp. butter 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour 1/2 cup 2% milk 1 cup heavy cream 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth zest from lemon (about a teaspoon) 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving 6-8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package directions. When there is two minutes left on the cooking time, add the asparagus to the pot and cook for the remaining time. Drain the pasta and asparagus and rinse quickly with cool water (to stop the asparagus from cooking more).

For the sauce, while the pasta/asparagus cook, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the garlic, cooking for 20 seconds or so, stirring constantly. Stir in the flour and cook for about a minute, stirring, until the mixture is toasty and sizzling. Gradually add the milk and chicken broth about 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a low simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the cheese has melted. Add additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.

Place the pasta, chicken and asparagus in a large bowl or serving dish and pour the sauce over the top. Toss lightly to combine.

Sprinkle on the bacon and additional Parmesan cheese (if using). Serve immediately.
