Creston’s ‘50s-themed prom slated Saturday

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

Creston High School’s prom, “Drive-in to the ‘50s,” is Saturday.

It is the only prom this weekend in the Creston News Advertiser coverage area. Virginia Harlan, junior class co-sponsor, said this year’s festivities are about two weeks ahead of last year.

“In the past, there have been extra-curricular activities scheduled the same day as prom, and that has created some stress for families who had to rush around,” Harlan said. “This is a date that worked better.”

Harlan said the ‘50s-themed prom features dinner served in

“little red baskets” with milkshakes. She said records have been donated by the community and are being used by the junior class for decorating the school’s gymnasium.

Harlan said the public is welcome to attend prom pictures from 4:45 to 5:30 p.m. at Maple Street Memories in Creston as well as the red carpet entrance at about 6 p.m. Saturday at the high school.

Viewers will need to park off campus. Limited bleacher seating will

be available during the red carpet entrance. Organizers strongly recommend the public bring their own lawn chairs.

Restrooms will be available for public use at the football field.

Harlan said the grand march inside the school’s gymnasium will begin around 7:30 p.m. for those that have wristbands. Meanwhile, Crestubilee (after-prom) will begin around midnight.

nate me,” Smith said. “They have to write a letter about why they think I’m deserving of the award, and then the advisers who were nominated get a sheet to fill out the types of things they’ve done with their chapter throughout the course of the year.”

The advisers earn points based on the amount and type of work they have completed with their chapters.

“I must have had the highest points out of the advisers nominated, and I won, so that was pretty exciting,” Smith said. “Then, at nationals, I’ll get to walk across the stage. Each Adviser of the Year from each state gets to go up at nationals.”

Iowa’s competitive, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) conference was a memorable one for Creston High School this year, as chapter adviser Shannon Smith was named Iowa’s Adviser of the Year, and several students earned firstplace awards.

Additionally, as a whole, the Creston chapter took first place in FBLA-OPOLY, a state program that encourages chapters to be active.

“I think we did pretty well,” Smith said. “We took the most students we’ve ever taken, 28, and we had 13 events place. Out of those 13, seven are eligible to go (to nationals).”

The 70th Iowa FBLA State Leadership Conference was held Thursday through Saturday in Coralville. The conference is held each spring and consists of competitive events, seminars, election of officers, awards and other leadership activities.

The National Leadership Conference will be held June 29 to July 2 in Atlanta.

Adviser of the Year Before the conference, some of Smith’s students nominated her for Iowa’s FBLA Adviser of the Year. Smith was one of four advisers nominated statewide.

The adviser award provides

students the chance to recogonize an adviser who gives his or her time to create an active chapter.

The winner is announced at both the state and national conferences, and advisers may only be nominated once every three years and must have been an adviser for at least

three years.

In her sixth year as the Creston chapter adviser, Smith also teaches business education at the high school and serves as Iowa’s FBLA state officer coordinator.

“It was pretty cool that the students took the time to nomi-

Iowa’s FBLA-OPOLY program provides local chapters with ideas for getting more involved in the FBLA organization and offers an opportunity for additional recognition at the state leadership conference.

holiday community service, have students run for office, things like that,” Smith said. “There are 38 different activities, and we completed 36 of them and got first place. As a reward for that, we got a trophy and preferential seating at our banquet and at the hypnotist that performed at the conference.”

Student awards This year, several Creston students placed, including junior Rachel Shepherd.

“The conference was one of the best ones yet for me, but I also was involved in different (projects) I wasn’t involved in previously,” she said.

Shepherd and the students she worked with took home first-place awards for two team projects: battle

of the chapters advance and community service project.

“Our community service project was about our event for the Ronald McDonald House with the wrestling team back in January, and we got first place,” Smith said.

“It also was an event with a scholarship with it, so (those students) are going to get $50 each that can be used for going to nationals or for college.”

Since Shepherd worked on this community service project, she will receive the scholarship. She was also one of the seven Creston students who qualified for nationals this year.

“I think, overall, the Creston chapter did really well as a team in the chapter events and some individuals worked really hard, and it obviously showed when they went to state,” Shepherd said.

Former Deere worker from Iowa charged with $250,000 in fraud ROCK ISLAND, Ill. (AP) — A federal judge in Illinois has set a June trial for a former employee of Deere and Company from Iowa who is accused of defrauding at least $250,000 from the Moline company.

Harvey Ulfers of Cedar Falls, Iowa, appeared before U.S. District Judge Sara Darrow in Rock Island on Tuesday. She scheduled his trial on wire fraud and money laundering charges for June 6.

He was allowed to remain

free on bond.

The March 22 indictment against the 62-yearold was unsealed Tuesday.

It claims Ulfers defrauded Deere from 2004 to early 2013 in his position as a purchasing supervisor at the company’s Waterloo, Iowa, facility. The fraud involved the sale of scrap metal.

Ulfers attorney, Donovan Robertson of Rock Island, didn’t immediately respond to a call and email seeking comment.

Panama Papers could add to outrage in presidential race AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Panama Papers, which illustrate how a small class of global elites find elaborate ways to shield their wealth from tax collectors, bank regulators and police, offer a glimpse into what’s driving the populist outrage that has marked this year’s presidential campaign.

The trove of 11.5 million leaked documents have thus far shed light mostly on foreign figures such as the prime minister of Iceland, who resigned Tuesday after the public learned that he used a shell company to shelter large sums of money while his country’s economy foundered.

The reaction in the U.S., meanwhile, has been relatively muted. But voters and experts say the documents validate the frustration felt by Bernie Sanders supporters on the left, who feel hard work is no longer enough to get ahead in America, and the anger of Donald Trump partisans on the right who say it will take someone who knows the insider system to dismantle it.

“We’ve recently heard the startling revelations about the tax dodge that is taking place in Panama,” Sanders told supporters in Wyoming Tuesday night afSanders ter his win in the Wisconsin Democratic primary. “In a time of massive income and wealth inequality, how does it hap-

Every

pen that you have large, profitable multinational corporations who in a given year pay zero, not a penny, in federal income taxes?”

Retired Wisconsin high school teacher Steve Nibbe, who was voting for the Vermont senator in Tuesday’s primary, said word of the documents made him “sit up and take notice.”

But he said he was not shocked.

“It just seems that those who have wealth — and sometimes that comes with privilege — are able to do things that other people are not,” said Nibbe, 60, from Verona, outside the state capital of Madison.

Joe Brettell, a Republican strategist based in Houston, doubted whether the public’s fury could get much worse.

“The populist anger being fueled primarily by white working-class Americans didn’t need any more fuel,” Brettell said. “They’ve already lived through the financial meltdown. They’ve already lived through the lack of middle class wage increases even as the stock market boomed.”

The passports of at least 200 Americans are included in the documents, according to news organizations that have access to them, though none are thought to be as famous as celebrities and politicians from other countries, such as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi.

In all, 12 current or former heads of state are in-

cluded in the legal records from Panama’s Mossack Fonseca law firm. They were first leaked to the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper based in Munich, Germany, and published Sunday by a consortium of news organizations around the world.

Charles Postel, a history professor at San Francisco State University who has studied American populism and wrote a book titled “The Populist Vision,” said of Sanders, “This is just the type of thing that is animating his base.”

He described Trump as “more of a nationalist.”

“His issue is not that these rich people are not playing by the rules. It’s that we need powerful people who will protect Americans,” Postel said. “That’s a different thing that provokes outrage.”

The New York billionaire might even actually win points with supporters if he were among the rich

and famous mentioned in the documents, Postel said.

“If Trump said, ‘Of course I put half of my money in the Virgin Islands,’ none of his voters would object to that,” Postel said. “They’d say: ‘Sure, he’s a billionaire. If I was a billionaire, I wouldn’t pay my taxes either.’”

That was a sentiment echoed somewhat by 24-year-old factory worker Demetrius Rimmer of Milwaukee, who had not heard about the scandal before a reporter mentioned it. But he was none too impressed: “It’s always about money.”

Rimmer voted for Sanders.

If the papers become more of a presidential issue, it won’t be confined to the Trump or Sanders camp.

“Both sides do it,” said Mike Feiler, a 52-year-old auto dealer in Verona who said he voted for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the primary. “Both sides try to hide their money.”

With students placing in 13 categories, Smith was pleased with the work of the Creston chapter.

“I’m really proud of how the students did and the effort they put into their different projects,” Smith said. “A lot of the students

who placed, it was more of a project-based event rather than a test, and that takes more time to do. So, I’m pretty excited they put in the effort for that, and they continue to see the value in doing these types of events.”

Addiction epidemic fuels runaway demand for more ‘sober homes’ CHICAGO (AP) — The nation’s epidemic of addiction to painkillers and heroin is fueling runaway demand for a once-obscure form of housing known as “sober homes,” where recovering addicts live together in a supervised, substance-free setting to ease their transition back to independence.

The facilities are rarely run by credentialed professionals and are only lightly regulated — a situation that has prompted at least five states to pass or consider legislation to impose basic rules on how they operate. Some homes have been accused of tolerating drug use and participating in insurance fraud.

“The ones that are good are fantastic,” said Pam Rodriguez, CEO of Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities, an Illinois nonprofit working to reduce prison time for nonviolent drug offenders. But the rapidly expanding field also includes “people exploiting the vulnerability of the population and their desperation to find a safe place to live,” she said.

Sober homes are based on an idea that has been around since at least the 1970s, when many communities had halfway houses — group homes reserved for the most desperate alcoholics with nowhere else to turn. These new houses cater increasingly to people who have become addicted to opiates. In recent years, the epidemic has touched more families who can afford to pay for care.

The facilities range from former single-family houses in residential neighborhoods to apartment complexes. The residents include people recently released from prison or residential treatment and others who see a counselor regularly or get no treatment. They must observe rules and curfews and participate in 12-step meetings.

The homes are often run by former drug users who have remained clean after rehabilitation, rather than by doctors or therapists.

Residents typically pay rent ranging from $75 to $150 per week.

There is no nationwide estimate on the number of sober homes, but experts say the growth is apparent.

For instance, Prescott, Arizona, a city of 40,000, has 169 homes. That’s one home for every 237 people, with more on the way.

“We have houses opening up two or three a week here,” said Mary Beth Hrin, a Prescott resident who supports a bill to allow cities to regulate the homes.

One large network of homes, Oxford House, now has almost 2,000 houses in about 500 cities, up 20 percent in the last three years.

Families are seeking guidance in choosing a home and pressing for accountability for the money they spend there.

Some of the laws under consideration would require sober homes to be inspected and certified and subject to ethical codes and consumer protections.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, April 6, 2016

Do not fear the chalk Students at the University of Michigan called police the other day — because someone had written Donald Trump’s name in chalk.

No arrests were made. The episode is part of a nationwide trend of Trump supporters writing proTrump messages on sidewalks, stairs and other surfaces at college campuses, where fainting fits are sure to ensue.

When they could get no relief from law enforcement, the University of Michigan students took it upon themselves to erase the offending messages — including “Trump 2016,” “Build the Wall” and “Stop Islam” — while fighting through feelings of betrayal.

One student complained that there should be a special emergency number to call in such cases — one wonders how often students are really going to need recourse to an unwelcome-chalk-message hotline — and said that the administration’s

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

inadequate response “perpetuates these really racist and hateful stereotypes that turn into violence and turn into students of color feeling unsafe on campus.”

Rarely before have a few scribblings been so traumatizing — and written not even in ink or paint or some other difficult-to-remove substance, but in the same chalk used to mark out hopscotch courts and write temporary promotional messages about sorority mixers and student theatrical productions. That chalk messages can be considered tantamount to a physical threat captures the crisis of free speech on campus perfectly.

What has become known on social media as “the chalkening” demonstrates how some college kids can’t be exposed to the simplest expression of support for a major presidential candidate without wanting to scurry to the nearest safe space.

By this standard, a “Make America Great Again” hat is a hate crime waiting to happen. It’s not clear how any of these students can turn on cable TV or look at the polls for the Republican nomination these days without being triggered.

Pro-Trump chalking took off after the reaction at Emory University, where some students were reduced to tears by the messages and said they felt “fear.” Protesters gathered at an administration building and let loose the antiphonal chant “You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!” This might have been an appropriate response if the kids had been tear-gassed, rather than seeing a positive phrase about a

candidate that is supported by some significant plurality of the American public.

The president of the school, James Wagner, promised to review security footage to try to identify the perpetrators, and in a statement full of campus-diversity jargon pledged, among other things, “immediate refinements to certain policy and procedural deficiencies” and “regular and structured opportunities for difficult dialogues.”

How about striking an even greater blow for diversity and asking the kids to get over seeing an anodyne political message that they disagree with? To his credit, Wagner himself chalked “Emory stands for free expression,” a message that will evidently have trouble penetrating the formidable incuriosity of some of his students.

The reaction to the chalkening is a testament to the electric charge surrounding Trump. He is like the

Washington Redskins of political candidates —so politically incorrect that some people can’t bear to see or hear his name. (The New York Times columnist Charles Blow actually refuses to use it.) This branding isn’t prudent positioning for a general election, but it makes Trump a perfect vehicle for provoking the other side, and it’s in that thumb-inthe-eye spirit that the Trump chalking is spreading.

The students getting the vapors over it don’t understand free expression or what it means to live in a free society, where you inevitably encounter people who have ideas and support candidates that you oppose.

They hate Donald Trump. Fine.

That is reason to argue and agitate against him, not to seek protection from any contact with supporters of his, no matter how tenuous.

If they are having a hard time handling this election cycle, just imagine how Reince Priebus feels.

‘Superman vs.

Batman’ fell at the box office “Superman vs. Batman” fell 70 percent at the box office in the movie’s second weekend on Sunday. It makes total sense. If anyone wants to see a billionaire with an anger problem fighting a guy from another planet, they can always watch Donald Trump and Ted Cruz on the news for free.

The Justice Department withdrew its demand that Apple provide an unlocking device for FBI agents to hack into suspects’ iPhones. They got an outside source to invent one. At baseball’s opening day in Washington, Attorney General Loretta Lynch will be there to throw out the First Amendment.

Dos Equis beer in its latest commercial said farewell to its Most Interesting Man in the World by launching him in a space capsule on a one way trip to Mars. The first man on Mars is going to be a Mexican. Donald Trump isn’t even president yet and already his immigration policy is in full swing.

PGA journeyman Jim Herman won at Houston Sunday and qualified for the Masters. He had been an assistant pro at a Trump golf club in New Jersey where Trump met him and urged him to go on tour and backed him. The RNC just set up an ad hoc committee in Augusta that is tasked to Stop Herman.

Donald Trump admitted on Fox News Sunday he wished he hadn’t engaged Ted Cruz in a war over

their wives’ looks in TV ads last week. Some women took it as a sign of misogyny. Donald Trump denied he’s a misogynist but he admits he goes to a couple of Asian women every week for one.

Donald Trump’s poll numbers in Wisconsin began surging over the weekend. He had to rally from misstatements he had made on abortion and NATO. It’s surprising that Trump didn’t win huge in Wisconsin considering he’s been wearing one of those cheese heads for most of his adult life.

Doris Day posted a photo of herself and her dog Squirrely Sunday when she turned 92 years old that showed a radiant and healthy and still-charismatic star. Young people couldn’t believe she was a top singing star for thirty years.

Letter to the editor

Thank you for We like to hear from you! the editorial From Lynette Shute-Waters Creston

I appreciate the editorial “Thank You” by Bailey Poolman.

It took courage to write that editorial, since the popular, lib-

eral view now days is to hate law enforcement.

Law enforcement serves our country the same as our military does – to protect us and they should be thanked.

ALL lives matter, including Blue ones.

The CNA publishes letters to the editor Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Need a balanced budget I’m not surprised to hear how frustrated folks across southwest and central Iowa are with the federal government’s reckless spending and the nation’s skyrocketing national debt. This is the reoccurring message our friends and neighbors share with me at my town hall meetings, during telephone town halls, visits across our District, and in the letters and calls I receive.

Families and businesses in Iowa and across the country balance their checkbooks and responsibly manage their finances every single day. Whether it’s around the kitchen table or in a conference room, expenses are constantly reevaluated and each dollar is carefully tracked, because folks know you can’t spend money you don’t have.

Yet, the federal government fails to understand this basic principle. Spending continues at an unsustainable rate, snowballing into a dangerous environment threatening jobs, economic growth and opportunity, and leaving us $19 trillion in debt.

To rein in government spending, we need a balanced budget.

We need the federal government to operate within its means, as American families must do.

U.S. Congressman David Young Republican

And, we need to act now, instead of ignoring this problem and leaving it for our children and grandchildren to solve.

In Congress, I’m working to impose fiscal restraint, and to curb duplicity and waste within our federal government. I am an original cosponsor of a resolution proposing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, which would prevent Congress from spending more of taxpayers’ hard-earned money than what the country takes in each year.

Since day one, I made clear my priority in Congress is to fight for an efficient, effective, transparent and accountable government that works for you. I have proposed zero-based budgeting to get federal spending in check, which requires federal agencies justify their spending, mission, and goals annually.

As a member of the U.S. House Appropriations Committee, I bring Iowans voice and values to the negotiating table,

and thoroughly examine federal spending while supporting meaningful policy to strengthen the economic security of all Americans. This work includes making hard decisions to curb our nation’s discretionary spending and begin conversations about ways to reform ballooning mandatory spending the driver of our debt.

A balanced budget is a simple concept with tremendous importance to our country long-term.

We need to make the tough decisions now and put Americans first, setting our children and grandchildren up for a better future than the one we inherited. As we continue the appropriations process this year and I continue my efforts as your U.S. Representative, I remain committed to fighting for meaningful legislative solutions which effectively curb government spending and waste to get our country back on track.

David Young is the Congressman serving all the people of Iowa’s Third Congressional District. He is a member of the Committee on Appropriations and Subcommittees on Agriculture, Homeland Security, and Transportation, Housing and Urban Development.

USDA announces $90M to Alliant support local food systems studies ways to expand renewable energy

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced Friday the availability of more than $90 million in competitive grants to help strengthen local and regional food systems, develop new market opportunities for producers and support farmers growing fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, flowers and nursery crops, known collectively as specialty crops. These grant programs are administered

by USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) and include the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP), the Farmers’ Market and Local Food Promotion Program and the Federal-State Marketing Improvement Program.

“Over the past seven years, USDA has strengthened local and regional food systems by investing in projects that recruit and train farmers, expand economic opportunities for small businesses and increase access to healthy foods,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “These grant programs make a real difference to farmers, ranchers and businesses in communities across the country, revitalizing rural economies while also increasing access to fresh, healthy food.”

More than $62 million is allocated in grants to U.S. states and territories through the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program for projects supporting specialty crop growers through research and programs to increase demand. Interested applicants should apply directly through their state departments of agriculture, which administer a competitive grant process. A listing of the SCBGP’s state contacts and how to apply with state application due dates can be found at www.ams. usda.gov/services/grants/ scbgp. State departments of agriculture must submit

their applications to AMS

by July 6.

The Farmers’ Market and Local Food Promotion Program provides a combined total of more than $26 million in competitive grants, divided equally between the Farmers’ Market Promotion Program (FMPP) and the Local Food Promotion Program (LFPP). FMPP grants support direct producer-to-consumer marketing projects such as farmers markets, community-supported agriculture programs, roadside stands and agritourism. LFPP funding goes to projects that develop, improve and expand local and regional food business intermediary supply chain activities, including processing, distribution, aggregation and storage of locally- or regionally-produced food products.

The Federal-State Marketing Improvement Program (FSMIP) provides nearly $1 million in matching funds to state departments of agriculture, state colleges and universities and other appro-

priate state agencies for research projects that address challenges and opportunities in marketing, transporting and distributing U.S. agricultural products domestically and internationally.

USDA data shows that specialty crop sales exceed $83 billion per year. Since 2009, the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program has supported these growers by investing nearly $393 million into more than 5,400 projects. USDA’s investments in farmers’ markets and other direct-to-consumer local food marketing activities through FMPP have provided $60 million in assistance for over 900 projects nationwide since 2009. LFPP has funded over 350 projects totaling nearly $25 million since it launched in 2014.

Grant applications must be submitted electronically through www.Grants.gov.

Applicants should start the Grants.gov registration process as soon as possible to ensure that they meet the deadline. Applications for

FSMIP, FMPP and LFPP are due by 10:59 p.m. May 12.

Grant writing workshops will be held through the Agricultural Marketing Service Technical Assistance Project. Visit www.amsta.net to see if training is scheduled in your area.

For more information about these grant programs, including program background, visit the AMS grants website at www.ams.usda. gov/services/grants.

The website also contains the link “What AMS Grant is Right for Me?” under which applicants can use a grants decision tree to determine which AMS grant fits their project best.

These programs are key elements of USDA’s Know Your Food, Know Your Farmer initiative, which coordinates the department’s support for local and regional food systems. The secretary has identified local and regional food systems as one of the four pillars of rural economic development.

Clarke County manure spill reaches Thompson River MURRAY – The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is investigating a discharge of swine manure from a confinement sow operation in Clarke County that reached the Thompson River.

The spill occurred about eight miles south of Murray, after Swine Graphics – ADL 6 transferred manure from below building pits to an outdoors basin.

The transfer pipe broke, releasing an unknown amount of manure. Swine Graphics staff have taken action to stop the manure release.

The manure traveled overland to a farm pond, which overflowed and then ran into a small unnamed stream and flowed about two-and-a-half miles to the Thompson River.

DNR staff took wa-

ter samples and checked for dead fish in the farm pond, the tributary and in the river for several miles downstream. They did not find any dead fish.

The DNR is monitoring spill containment and

cleanup and will consider appropriate enforcement action.

Anyone who notices a spill or fish kill should call the DNR’s 24-hour emergency response line at 515725-8694.

future decisions about growing renewable energy.

“Renewable energy is growing, and this is one way we continue to bring cost-effective solutions to our customers,” said Doug Kopp, president of Alliant Energy’s Iowa utility. “The insights we gain will be valuable in shaping successful programs.”

The proposals are part of the efforts to bring more clean energy to Iowa in a cost-effective and reliable way. Alliant Energy is taking an approach that includes embracing renewable energy technologies, while considering the impacts on its customers, employees and local economies.

Subway now posting calories nationally NEW YORK (AP) — Subway is moving ahead and posting calorie counts on menu boards nationally despite another delay in a federal rule requiring the information.

The sandwich chain says its new menu boards with calorie counts are already rolling out around the country and should be up in all 27,000 of its U.S. stores by April 11.

The decision to forge ahead comes as restaurant chains have awaited the Food and Drug Administration’s final

guidance and enforcement of a rule requiring food sellers with 20 or more locations to post the information.

“I think consumers are looking for this, and with all the delays, they’re confused as to why it’s not out there,” said Lanette Kovachi, who leads Subway’s global nutrition efforts.

As part of the federal health care overhaul, a rule was passed in 2010 requiring major chains to post calorie counts on menus with the goal of helping Americans make better food choices.

MADISON, Wis. – Alliant Energy took a critical step forward to bring more cost-effective renewable energy to its customers in Iowa.

They filed proposals with the Iowa Utilities Board to develop pilot programs that support the growth of renewable energy in the state.

The ‘butter’ way Dear Heloise: I have a question. I want to get one of those special BUTTER DISHES that you put water in the bottom of, cover it and you don’t have to refrigerate the butter at all. Evidently it is safe; however, is it safe to do that if you buy only unsalted butter? — Vicki H., Kettering, Ohio It’s safe to use unsalted butter in one of these specialty dishes. However, since salt is a preserving agent, salted butter typically has a longer shelf life than unsalted.

These dishes are popular in Europe, but here, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration both recommend keeping all butter refrigerated. It’s certainly a safety precaution, since much depends on the “climate” in your kitchen. Is it cool and dry, or a little warm?

If you use a dish of this type, change the water AT LEAST once a week, and keep it in a cool location in the kitchen, not next to the stove or toaster oven. If it smells foul or seems spoiled, out it goes! — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-

Hints from Heloise

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

cooked food items, such as brownie mix, pasta, etc., frequently are placed side by side in the cupboard. This makes it hard to see what’s in the box, because the side of the box facing the cook shows nutritional information, etc., but not what’s in the box.

I solve this by marking the side of the box facing the cook with the content’s name (for example, “cake mix,” “brownie mix,” “pasta”) in large letters written with a marker. — Ron N., Alexandria, Va. FIXED FINGER Dear Heloise: I use rubber gloves for hand-washing dishes and other household chores. If I get a small hole in one of the fingers, I let the glove dry out completely and use a small, BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker waterproof bandage to cover the hole, extending the life of the rubber glove. It lasts a long time! — Dawn S., Avoca, Iowa QUICK CUT Dear Heloise: Need a quick cutting board for vegetables? I use a lid to a 32-ounce coffee can. It works great, and after a few cutting jobs, just recycle it. — Frank Y., Canal Fulton, Ohio

Panthers strike late in 4-3 victory Woods nets hat trick for Creston

By LARRY PETERSON

National Digest

Syndergaard wins KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard was amused when Kauffman Stadium’s sound system played “American Woman” as he trotted out to the mound for the first inning.

The standing-room only crowd of 39,782 drowned out the music with its boos.

Syndergaard silenced the fans with six dominant innings, Neil Walker hit his first home run for the Mets and New York beat Kansas City 2-0 Tuesday after the Royals were given their 2015 World Series rings.

Syndergaard (1-0) was the only pitcher to beat Kansas City in the World Series last year. The rookie won Game 3 after intentionally firing his first pitch above Alcides Escobar’s head, angering the Royals.

Escobar started this one with a triple, but then Syndergaard struck out the next three batters and retired 12 straight before Kendrys Morales’ double opened the fifth.

Extra innings PITTSBURGH — Jordy Mercer singled home Gregory Polanco in the 11th inning giving the Pittsburgh Pirates a 6-5 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday.

Polanco drew a walk from Seth Maness with one out, advanced to second on an infield single from Josh Harrison, then scored on Mercer’s single.

Kyle Lobstein pitched two innings of relief for the win.

Judd Gyorko hit his first home run as a Cardinal. Stephen Piscotty added two hits and two RBI. The Cardinals bullpen had retired 18 in a row prior to the walk to Polanco. Cardinals starter Michael Wacha gave up five runs, four earned, in 4 1/3 innings.

Warriors lose OAKLAND — The Golden State Warriors hit an unexpected obstacle on their quest for a record 73 wins, blowing a 17-point lead and losing 124-117 in overtime to the last-place Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night.

Shabazz Muhammad scored a career-high 35 points and Andrew Wiggins had 32 as Minnesota prevented Golden State (69-9) from becoming the second team to win 70 games in a season. The Warriors now must win their final four games to break the single-season wins record of 72 set by Chicago in 1995-96.

Stephen Curry had a rare off-shooting night as Golden State took its third loss against a team currently in last place in its division, following earlier defeats at Milwaukee in December and last month at the Los Angeles Lakers.

But this one came at home, where the Warriors had won a record 54 straight regular-season games before falling to Boston last Friday.

Klay Thompson scored 28 points, while Curry had 21 points and 15 assists despite missing 18 of 25 shots for the Warriors, who never led in the overtime.

Gavin Woods produced the hat trick, punctuated by a timely finishing touch

by Evan Jacobson in the final two minutes as Creston defeated the Chariton boys here Tuesday, 4-3.

Woods scored three goals — assisted on two by Jacobson and Peres Reed along with his second penalty kick goal in two nights — with the final one needed to tie it 3-3 after the Chargers had gone in front by a goal with 13 minutes left.

At that point, Woods gave his teammates a dose of encouragement.

“I said there’s (nearly) 15 minutes left,” Woods recalled. “There’s plenty of time to put in two or three goals, if we need to. That’s what we did. We put in two.

We trusted each other and finished it up.”

Seventeen minutes into the first half Woods broke the 0-0 deadlock on a play started by Jacobson on the left wing, carrying it toward Woods in the middle.

“The ball got played out and Patrick Normandeau had a great shot. I was just there to kind of bump it across,” W o o d s said. “The g o a l ie dove, but it was Woods already across the line.”

Arthur Rodygin tied it 1-1 late in the first half.

Creston’s Peres Reed (12) battles for possession with Max Covington of Chariton during the Panthers’ 4-3 victory Tuesday. Reed had two shots on goal and an assist for the Panthers.

Eleven minutes into the second half, Woods was fouled in the box, setting up a penalty kick attempt. Woods had done the same thing and scored Monday in an 8-1 loss to fourth-ranked St. Albert.

He converted again for a 2-1 Panther lead.

Seven minutes later Dylan Porter knotted it again at 2-2 with a goal, and then with 13 minutes left Alvaro Seco put the Chargers ahead 3-2.

Woods was on the scene five minutes later for the ty-

ing goal bumped past Chariton goalkeeper Quentyn Pennington in a crowd in front of the net.

“Kelby Luther had a phenomenal cross, chipped it over,” Woods said. “I just kind of hit it in with my shoulder. It was a beautiful pass.”

Just when it appeared the match may head to overtime on a cool, windswept evening, Jacobson took the ball past the Charger defense for the decisive goal.

Young Panthers show promise in shortened meet

CNA sports editor svicker@ crestonnews.com

CLARINDA — The Lady Cardinal Relays here Tuesday were cut short midway through the meet by lightning, but Creston head coach Clay Arnold was able to see some positives in limited events.

The meet was called off after the 4x200 relay.

The two biggest positives for Arnold were his sprinters and his young athletes.

The Panther distance

medley relay team of Josie Sickels, Amber Castillo, Lexie Little and Jesse Vicker brought home Creston’s lone victory.

“The d-med looked really good,” Arnold said. “Josie and Amber both put us in a great spot. Little had us in first. She handed off and Vicker did a good job and ran a season’s best 2:36 on the anchor.”

The shuttle hurdle relay team of Amber Castillo, Danielle Castillo, Little and Rachel Shepherd finished second. It was the first time

the Panthers have run a shuttle hurdle this year.

The Panther 4x200 relay team of Kiersten Latham, Sickels, Cayla Maitlen and Stephanie Hemsworth finished third, as did Taylor Briley in the 400 meter dash.

Senior Jessica Beatty ran a 14-second PR in the 3,000 meters for third place. The 4x800 relay team of Saige Rice, Briley, Jami Sickels and Brielle Baker finished third.

“Beatty was big tonight,” Arnold said. “That PR was PROMISE | 9A

Panther girls fall 5-3 at Harlan Palser nets three goals for Creston

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

HARLAN — After Monday’s 10-0 loss to fifthranked St. Albert, the Creston girls took several strides forward in a 5-3 loss at Harlan Tuesday night.

Senior Shelby Palser scored all three goals for the Panthers in a competitive Hawkeye 10 Con- Palser ference match.

“They were up 3-0 on us before we scored our first goal, but we got to halftime just down 3-2,” said Creston coach Kim Lauffer.

In the second half, Harlan moved in front 4-2, Creston answered to cut it to a oneHarlan News Advertiser photo by MIKE OEFFNER goal margin again, and finalCreston freshman Taylor Buxton sends a ball forward ly with about five minutes during the team’s 5-3 loss to Harlan on Tuesday.

“I just received the ball by the left corner of the box, opened up and saw there were two defenders in front of me,” Jacobson said.

“I cut inside, and hit it as hard as I Jacobson could into the bottom left corner.”

Coach Lucian Diaconu

liked the way his sophomore striker responded after a quick rest on the bench.

“Just before that, I took him down a little bit and he had a couple minutes to get himself together,” Diaconu said. “When he got on the field, he just delivered. He dribbled all the way from the line, past two or three guys, and had a clean, strong shot on the frame.”

The hard-fought win was an injection of positive morale coming off the lopsided defeat to a state-ranked squad Monday.

“After yesterday’s loss, this win is like a band aid for us,” Diaconu said. “We’re at West Central Valley (Stuart) on Thursday. We expect a physical game on their turf.”

Moving Woods from up front at striker to an offensive center midfield position allowed him to take physical control of advancement of the ball into scoring territory, the Panther coach said.

“It all starts in the back with our defense,” Woods said. “We just slowly progress the ball up with our midfielders. Coach D has been talking about combining with the striker and that’s actually what happened. It was a really good job by Evan Jacobson up front tonight. It was just a great team effort.

Our guys never gave up.”

Goalkeeper Payton Pryor overcame an early injury to his midsection to finish with 10 saves. He was spelled briefly in the net by Lee Normandeau, who posted the shutout in a 2-0 JV victory after the varsity match.

Seavula wins two events for Spartans

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

HASTINGS, Neb. — The Southwestern Community College track and field teams traveled to Hastings College here Saturday after Central College in Pella cancelled its meet on Friday.

Southwestern freshman Sisilia Seavula of Fiji led the Spartans, winning the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter dash.

Seavula won the 100 meter dash with a wind-aided time of 12.30 seconds. She also ran a wind legal 25.77 to win the Seavula 200 meter dash.

The Spartan women’s 4x100 relay team of Rachel Flickinger, Younis Bese, Raegan Smith and Seavula finished fourth in 51.22 seconds.

“Today was a typical first meet of the season, as we had several outstanding performances, as well as some students who were disappointed with their result,” Southwestern head coach Nick Ekel said. “Overall, I am happy with where we stand as a team, as our students are showing improve-

ment from the indoor season.”

On the men’s side, Tyrell Paul tied for third in the 200 meters with his time of 22.50 seconds.

Nate Hoyt of Shenandoah ran a lifetime best in the 5,000 meters, finishing seventh in 16:54, just ahead of fellow Hoyt freshman Gabe Esser of Winterset, who ran 16:55 for eighth place.

Sophomore Keegan Longabaugh of Corning threw 42.18 meters (138 feet, 5 inches) in the javelin for 10th place.

“I was especially pleased with Sisilia Seavula, Keegan Longabaugh and Nate Hoyt today, as they showed tremendous poise and focus to set lifetime bests in their events,” Ekel said.

Moreno leads Spartans at Otter Creek ANKENY — The Southwestern golfers competed in the Iowa Central Spring Tournament last weekend at Otter Creek Golf Course.

The Spartan men’s team was led by freshman Dominick Moreno of Buckeye, Arizona, in tie for 24th place with an opening 9-hole score of 40 and 18hole round of 80 on Moreno

Sunday for a 120 total.

“Dom had struggled so far this spring and he is way too competitive to get shown up consistently,” Spartan coach Doug North said. He put in some hard work and it showed this weekend. His low ball flight helped out with the wind we encountered.”

As a team Southwestern was ninth among 11 teams at 168-338 — 506. Bellevue University won the event at 152-307 — 459.

This was also the first tour-

nament of the season for the Spartan women, who return to this course on April 29-30 for regionals.

Southwestern men were tied for eighth with Buena Vista University at 168 after Saturday, just six strokes out of fourth place.

“Of course we were shooting for a better placing, especially with the close scores after fay one,” North said.

Hannah Hood placed second in the shot put and third in the discus.

“It was really promising, our freshmen. Rice ran a PR in the 4x8, Baker ran a real-

ly great anchor, passed the Shenandoah girl to put us into third. Happy with both those. Vicker ran a great anchor on that d-med,” Arnold said.

“Then I was really happy with Josie and Amber, got us off to a great start in the d-med. Josie, Maitlen and Steph ran real nice 4x200 legs. We’ve never had this much consistency and this much quality this early in the sprinting corps. A lot of it is from seniors Josie and Am-

made history and to be able to say that we did that with those two guys, we’re going to remember that forever.”

The Huskies (38-0) have been nearly unbeatable since Stewart arrived. They lost four games her freshman year and only one since. The win over Syracuse was the 75th straight for UConn, all by double figures. Stewart and her fellow seniors went 24-0 in NCAA tourney games, too.

Stewart earned the most outstanding player of the Final Four all four years of her career. No other women’s player has won it more than twice and only Lew Alcindor did it three times on the men’s side.

The three-time AP Player of the Year has said it is up to others to decide her place in women’s college basketball lore. There is no denying she is the most accomplished player ever, winning more titles than fellow UConn greats Diana Taurasi and Maya Moore, who watched from the stands at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

‘I’ll say this. She’s the greatest NCAA Tournament player I’ve ever been around,” Auriemma said.

“When the lights were the brightest, that’s (when) she was at her best.”

Like the other great UConn teams, this version had a killer instinct. The Huskies scored the first nine points of the game. Stewart had 10 points in the first 6 minutes as UConn built a 23-6 lead.

When the Orange made a little run to cut its deficit to 2513, Jefferson hit a 3-pointer just before the first-quarter buzzer. Stewart, Jefferson and Tuck, who have helped the Huskies to an NCAA-record 151 wins over their four years, combined for 26 of the 28 points in the period.

They also handled the Orange’s press with precision passing that led to easy layups. The Huskies were up 50-23 at the half and extended the lead to 33 early in third quarter before Syracuse scored 16 straight points to get within 60-43 with 2:02 left in the period that brought the Orange fans to their feet. Consecutive layups by Napheesa Collier restored the 20-plus point lead and UConn cruised

from there.

“Not shocked by how good they are, not shocked by the things they did in the game.

We were definitely prepared for it,” Syracuse coach Quentin Hillsman said. “One of the things I told our kids is you have no reason to be scared when you’re prepared and we competed. We didn’t play scared.”

Stewart, Tuck and Jefferson left the game for good with 1:46 left. They shared an embrace together before hugging Auriemma. The trio then went down the bench hugging every member of the team.

“There’s three key ingredients that go into this kind of success, ‘One, two, three,’” Auriemma said afterward, pointing to his three seniors.

Auriemma has never lost in 11 title appearances. While the names may change, the results are always the same: UConn is still there holding that trophy in the end. This one gave the Hall of Fame coach a sixth undefeated season.

To win her fourth championship, Stewart had to beat her hometown team.

Fourth-seeded Syracuse (30-8) had the best season in school history, advancing to its first NCAA championship game. They hadn’t made it out of the first weekend of the tournament until this year.

“I’m really happy for Breanna Stewart, who came to one of my camps. She’s a great player,” Hillsman said.

“When you have a player that great coming from Syracuse, that doesn’t happen that often.”

These two teams hadn’t played since the Orange left the Big East for the ACC after the 2013 season. Syracuse has now lost 24 straight against UConn, a skid that dates to 1996.

Cornelia Fondren scored 16 points to lead Syracuse.

UNBEATENS With Lubbock Christian and Thomas More finishing off their undefeated seasons Monday night in the Division II and III title games, this marks the third year that all three champions didn’t have a loss. It also happened in 1995 and 2014 — and UConn won the D-I titles those years, too. Lubbock Christian and Thomas More players held the flag during the national anthem before the game.

Understanding sports physicals Young to host US Service Academy versus annual well child exams information sessions for students clear the athlete to participate.

“Sport physicals fit the basic requirements to participate in activities; however, the more education the student athletes and parents have, will increase their knowledge and understanding of future healthy life choices,” Bevins said.

With a well child exam, the physician fills out the appropriate paper work for the student athlete to play sports, but will also start a conversation about the student athlete’s overall health and immunization status.

The physician will look at previous height and weight measurements, and compare them to current results. This

will show how the student athlete is growing according to age parameters.

The physician will also discuss topics that apply to future healthy lifestyle choices both physically and mentally. This information is provided in the well child exam because these exams are to promote preventative care.

The student athlete can have a better understanding of his or her overall health, and can begin to actively make choices that will affect their success.

Start the conversation with the physicians at Greater Regional Medical Center by calling 641-782-2131 for an appointment today.

The American Red Cross encourages eligible blood donors to donate blood this spring to ensure a sufficient supply for patients at approximately 2,600 hospitals across the country.

Donated blood is perishable and must constantly be replenished to keep up with hospital patient need. Red blood cells are the blood component most frequently transfused by hospitals and must be used within 42 days of donation.

Eligible donors can give red blood cells through either a regular whole blood donation or a double red cell donation, where available. During a double red cell donation, two units of red blood cells are collected while most of the plasma and platelets are returned to the donor. Double red cell donors must meet additional eligibility criteria, which will be determined at the donation appointment.

Debbie Cody-Nabors is a blood donor who gives double red cells. Her mother received transfusions twice

a week during treatment for aplastic anemia.

“I donate blood as often as I can in memory of my mom,” Cody-Nabors said.

“Please donate blood if you can to help save lives as you never know when you’ll be on the receiving end.”

Donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with types O, A negative and B negative. Whole blood can be donated every 56 days, up to six times a year, and double red cells may be donated every 112 days, up to three times per year.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities include:

The U.S. Service Academy information days are open to the public and will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. April 23 in Council Bluffs and from 9 to 11 a.m. April 30 in West Des Moines.

The 2015-16 school year is coming to a much-anticipated end for most students.

According to the Creston Community Schools Athletic Director Jeff Bevins, “Annual sports physicals are only current for one year. Spring is the time of year when parents start scheduling their child’s next year physical.”

The big questions are, do the sports physicals cover everything that has changed in the student athletes’ life in a year and does the physical promote the best health information for that student athlete?

When conducting a sports physical, the form is completed by the physician solely to
