Regulation of e-cigs by Clinton woos Kentucky FDA announced

By JOEL LAMB

rette at all.

The more advanced vaporizer devices let users choose from a massive variety of “e-juices,” a liquid containing nicotine extract and flavoring, to replicate the mechanical act of smoking a cigarette without the carcinogens created by combustion.

However, there is conflicting evidence on how much healthier vaporizers and e-cigs actually are when compared to traditional cigarettes. The new FDA ruling essentially places the same regulations on these devices that are already applied to traditional cigarettes.

These regulations include “reporting ingredients, and harmful and potentially harmful constituents, requiring premarket re-

CNA staff reporter jlamb@crestonnews.com

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced May 5 that its regulation of tobacco products will now extend to include electronic cigarettes and personal vaporizers, among others.

Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigs, were conceived originally as a safer replacement for traditional cigarettes and have grown in popularity over the past decade. There are now a multitude of different styles of these devices, ranging from pre-assembled disposable replicas of cigarettes like those seen on television commercials to customized personal vaporizers bearing no resemblance to a ciga-

view and authorization of new tobacco products, and placing health warnings on products packages and advertisements,” according to the FDA’s report.

This new ruling would require manufacturers of e-juice, e-cigs, vaporizers and related products to spend millions of dollars for testing of products and inspections of production facilities.

These are costs that few manufacturers can afford to absorb, with the exception of big-tobacco companies like Reynolds tobacco and Lorillard, who produce their own e-cigs.

Lorillard’s Blue e-cigs and Reynolds tobacco’s Vuse e-cigs are already available in gas stations and supermarkets nationwide and advertised in much the

same way cigarettes used to be, including television and magazine ads.

One of the main concerns used to justify the new regulations on these devices is the claim that their social acceptability and prevailing availability will increase nicotine use and addiction among those who would otherwise have avoided tobacco, including minors.

“If they get another generation of kids more hooked on nicotine and more likely to smoke cigarettes that’s more harm than good,” said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

However, keeping all nicotine-containing products out of the hands of minors is a goal of many retailers as E-CIGS | 2A

voters before their primary LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky voters pick their favored candidate for president on Tuesday, and Hillary Clinton is making a big, final push for their support. But rival Bernie Sanders hopes to add Kentucky to his string of wins and further delay Clinton’s clinching the Democratic presidential nomination.

Big-name surrogates have been sent, television ads are playing and Clinton is touring the state in advance of Tuesday’s voting. On Sunday, the former secretary of state dropped in at Louisville churches and held rallies in Louisville and Fort Mitchell.

Sanders on Sunday made a swing through Kentucky as well.

“We need a president who will work every single day to make life better for American families,” Clinton said at a union training center in Louisville.

“We want somebody who can protect us and work Clinton with the rest of the world. Not talk about building walls, but building bridges.”

While Clinton leads Sanders by nearly 300 pledged delegates going into Tuesday’s primaries in Kentucky and Oregon, the Vermont senator continues to win contests and has pledged to stay in the race until the July convention.

With Donald Trump set as the presumptive Republican nominee, those on Clinton’s team would like to turn their attention to the general election contest, but they still can’t fully make that shift.

A win in at least one of the two upcoming contests would give Clinton momentum

“WE NEED a president who will work every single day to make life better for American families.”

Hillary Clinton

Democratic presidential candidate

heading into the primaries in California and New Jersey in early June. Oregon is favorable terrain for Sanders, but Clinton’s campaign thinks the race is competitive in Kentucky, where she planned to spend Monday courting voters.

“It will be close, but either way, as with all the contests this month, we will gain additional delegates and move that much closer to clinching the nomination,” Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said in an email.

Clinton easily won the Kentucky primary over Barack Obama in 2008. But this time she has come under criticism in parts of the state after saying in March that “we’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.” Clinton later said she misspoke, but the comment has drawn fire in mining communities.

On Sunday in Louisville and in Fort Mitchell, Clinton touted her plan for coal country. Her proposals include protecting miners’ health care coverage and retirement programs, investing in infrastructure in mining communities and repurposing mines.

Before a cheering crowd in a Fort Mitchell backyard, Clinton pledged to put husband Bill Clinton — who won the state in 1992 and 1996 —”in charge of revitalizing the economy.” She provided CLINTON | 2A

Iowa may ban alcohol at 2 state beaches because of problems SOLON (AP) — Iowa officials are considering banning alcohol use at two state beaches because of past problems.

The proposed rule would apply at Lake Macbride near Solon and Pleasant Creek at Palo. Alcohol would be banned at the beaches but would be allowed in the campgrounds.

The rule still needs approval by the Natural Resource Commission and

Gov. Terry Branstad, who hasn’t taken a position on it, The Des Moines Register reported Sunday.

Lake Macbride and Pleasant Creek both have a history of alcohol-related problems, and officials decided those sites needed attention first. But Iowa officials are reviewing alcohol policies at all state parks, so additional changes are possible.

Between 2010 and 2015, more than 5,000 incidents

and citations were reported at Iowa’s state parks. A total of 1,021 cases involved alcohol.

Five of Iowa’s 72 parks accounted for nearly twothirds of the alcohol-related incidents. Those were Lake MacBride, Pleasant Creek, Gull Point at Milford, Backbone at Dundee and Lake Manawa near Council Bluffs.

no further details, but during Bill Clinton’s administration, economic growth averaged 4 percent per year, median family income rose and the budget deficit was turned into a surplus.

Clinton said that when people feel left behind, they “become very interested in easy answers and the kind of demagoguery we’ve seen in this election.”

Clinton only briefly mentioned Sanders at both events, repeating a critique that he did not vote to fund the auto industry bailout.

Sanders has accused Clinton of mischaracterizing his record on the issue.

Clinton focused most of her fire on Trump, calling him a “loose cannon.” She said his record will “be a big part of the general election, because Americans, regardless of our political affiliation have to really take this vote seriously.”

High-profile advocates campaigning for Clinton in Kentucky include Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and Reps. James Clyburn of South Carolina, G.K. Butterfield of North Carolina, Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas and Hakeem Jeffries and Joe Crowley of New York.

Clinton is spending about $325,000 on Kentucky ads.

Sanders, after seeing her reserve airtime, followed with $126,000 in ads, according to advertising tracker Kantar Media’s CMAG. Going into Tuesday, Clinton has 1,716 pledged delegates from primaries and caucuses, compared

back any candidate, Clinton holds a much wider lead. She remains on track to reach the 2,383 needed to win the nomination by early next month.

Clinton and her supporters have avoided calling on Sanders to drop out of the race. But they worry that Sanders could damage her chances by staying put. The Vermont senator’s economic hits on Clinton could benefit Trump, as he seeks to appeal to independent voters. In addition, Clinton cannot start wooing Sanders supporters until he is out of the way and she must continue campaigning in primary states, rather than general-election battlegrounds.

A Trump adviser told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that the campaign was hoping to appeal to Sanders supporters in the general election.

“You see Democrat support for Bernie Sanders that is potential Trump support, when it’s indicated that they will never vote for Hillary Clinton, and when you analyze who those people are that are saying it, they’re the very demographic that Trump is appealing to in independents and crossover Democrats,” Paul Manafort said.

In the audience for Clinton at the Louisville rally Sunday was local resident Nancy Hatcher, 69, who said she liked Clinton’s experience, though said she wasn’t sure if she could win in Kentucky.

“I don’t know,” she said.

“There’s a lot of people that are in love with Bernie Sanders, but I don’t think he is electable and she is.” family time with kids to a bunch of young people drinking, yelling and screaming obscenities, fighting, and people having sex in the water,” said Prentice, who now works at a different park without a beach.

But efforts to ban alcohol at state parks have failed in the past, and the proposal faces some opposition.

Scott Galloway of Grand Mound said the ban seems unnecessary.

“Our politicians spend too much time passing laws,” Galloway said. “All they do is cost the taxpayers money to enforce them.

If I want to go to the park with the family, have a barbecue, play some bags and have a few beers, what am I hurting?”

Part of the trouble with these studies is inconsistency in the ingredients used to created the nicotine containing liquid which is an issue that the FDA’s ruling addresses.

With products that have been readily available for only a few years, the e-cigarette and vaporizer industry will require continued research to reveal definitive data on both their benefits and detriments.

Creston News Advertiser |Monday, May 16, 2016

Capturing the moment Local photographers Taycey Post and Jeanine Lynam discuss their processes for taking the best photos for the bride and groom’s special day. n

When a couple looks back on the day they made the choice to spend their lives together, the photos of the event are what evoke their reasons for being together.

There are many photographers in the southwest Iowa area, but Taycey Post and Jeanine Lynam are just two who focus on engagement and wedding photography. “I would like to do photography in any town, to be right honest. I’ve always loved it,� Lynam said.

Taycey Post Photography Taycey Post of Creston owns her own business, Taycey Post Photography, and has for the past five years. “It was a hobby long before it was a legitimate business,� Post said.

After two years of doing photography as a hobby, mostly for her children, she turned her hobby into a way to make people happy and earn money at the same time. Now, Post shoots engagements, weddings, boudoir, children, family and the occasional newborn.

Post has shot about 100 weddings since her first one in 2009. She mostly covers the southwest Iowa area but has also done photography in other parts of the country, such as Illinois and Florida. “I love and hate weddings at the same time because they are very, very stressful, and I’m a perfectionist,�

Post said. “My favorite weddings are when the bride allows me to do what I love to do, and that’s basically just to spend time with them (the bride and groom) alone.�

Post, who works full time and cares for her family, shoots around her already busy schedule. She has en-

gagement packages of one hour for $300 and 1.5 hours for $450. Her wedding packages are separate and start at $1,600 for four hours. She also has six- and eight-hour options available, as well as hourly. She has payment plans and other options available as well. “I meet with the couple right then, and, generally, if I’m shooting their wedding I’ve shot their engagement,� Post said. “If I didn’t do their engagement photos, I’m talking with them continually.�

After discovering how the bride and groom have mapped out the ceremony and reception, Post will be able to plan for photos during the most important moments.

Once her hours are up at the event, Post will preview photos within several days. She edits the photos and returns them to the couple after no more than 45 days. She also includes unedited photos in the wedding packages. “Most of my stuff is so good straight out of camera that I don’t have a whole lot of bad shots,� Post said. “At a six-hour wedding, I generally take 3,000 shots, but I’m unique in that you can look at my unedited and like it just as much as my edited.�

Post has other options available as well. She has done several staged wedding shoots in the past and already has several lined up for the future. “I did a staged wedding for MaKenzi and Brandon Vonk, and that was just a specialty package I can offer any bride,� Post said. “(MaKenzi had) two different wedding dresses, two different bouquets, two different looks.

She asked me, ‘For my traditional wedding dress, I want

Dark, scary almost.’ That was fun. That was probably my favorite to date because there was no pressure of an actual wedding.�

The most important thing Post has learned for the bride and groom to decide on is venue. Without a good venue, Post said, it’s hard for her to take the best photos she can for the ceremony and reception. “Photography, it’s just always evolving,� Post said.

“I’m not into the totally staged, tea party hipster whatever. But, I’m always into trying new things.�

J’s Images In the cool brick basement that is her studio, Lynam tells of her most memorable moments as an engagement and wedding photographer.

Lynam, a photographer in Lenox, shoots all sorts of moments in a person’s life, including prom, maternity, newborn and senior photos, alongside engagements and weddings.

Lynam started out doing

photography in the 1980s on a part-time basis around her job as the Lenox city clerk.

She left that job and became a paraeducator at Lenox High School, then in 2004 began taking her photography more seriously.

While Lynam photographs mostly in the southwest Iowa area, she has traveled elsewhere to shoot events. She has quite a few clients out of Des Moines. “That’s what I love about these weddings,� Lynam said. “Many times I’ve already done these kids’ senior pictures, and then it’s their engagements and then their weddings. Then it’s maternity, and then it’s babies and families.�

When it comes time for Lynam to discuss the photography aspect of a couple’s upcoming wedding ceremony, she prefers to do the engagement photos as well to get to know the couple. “When you do an engagement, you get to know the couple. We do a sit-down and discuss what their wedding is going to be like, what I can expect out of the day and what they can expect out of me that day,� Lynam said. “As a general rule, by the time the engagement session is over, I feel very comfortable that I know them.�

While visiting with the future bride and groom, Lynam shows them portfolios of her past work to get an idea of what they want. “One of my favorite engagement photos was a oneshot, and it was a one-shot because I could never have held the camera still to do it again. It was a couple who are really big into four-wheelers,

and they’re in competitions and stuff,â€? Lynam said. “The groom had a brother and he, his fiancĂŠ and the brother all are very active in this. So, I went out to their farm, and the parents had built a track for the kids to practice on. The couple laid on their stomachs, and the brother jumped over them in the four-wheeler.â€?

Lynam said she always likes to give the couple and the others a chance to do something interesting if they’d like to. “If you have a fun idea, share it. We’ll do our best,�

Lynam said. “Once for a wedding, the church had steps, about six steps, and the groom stood at the top and jumped into the arms of the guys underneath. It was, like, holy buckets.�

Lynam photographs the bride and groom getting ready separately, the ceremony and

the reception from the beginning to garter toss.

During the wedding, Lynam also prefers to take individual shots of relatives such as the grandparents as part of the couple’s package. Lynam charges about $500 for the engagement and wedding photo sessions together. Photos can be purchased separately. “I always tell them not to

sweat the small stuff, because there will be plenty of small stuff,� Lynam said. “At the end of the day, as long as you can go home knowing that you are married, you’ve done what you set out to do.�

ENTERTAINMENT

The rap on wraps Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about newspapers with “wrap-arounds” on the front section.

“My complaint is about the newspaper’s annoying 3/4 page advertising cover of almost every issue of the paper! It GOES straight into the bottom of the bird cage before I can sit down to read the paper.

“You can’t even hold the entire section to read it without getting rid of the extra flapping; wasted paper.”

– Sharon in San Antonio Another reader wrote, “The 1/2 page cover on the front of our newspaper has become so annoying that as soon as I get the paper, I rip that piece off and recycle it so I can enjoy the rest of the paper.”

Dear Readers of Newspapers: Today’s newspaper world is far different from only a few decades ago.

Newspapers have to do everything they can to bring in revenue while supplying information and entertainment for readers. As someone who has been in this biz for a loooooooooooong time (I grew up watching my mother, the original Heloise), it’s far better to change and adapt than to shut the doors.

While you may not like the “wrap-around,” it serves a purpose. So take a hint from Heloise: Take the ad-

2. Put clothing into the dryer on ONLY “fluff dry” and toss in several fabric-softener sheets.

HIGHLIGHT THE DATES Dear Heloise: I recently saw a reader complaining about the size of the expiration dates on coupons and how difficult they are to find.

When I find the date, I highlight it. This makes it easier to find the next time I view the coupon.

I also try to organize BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker them according to the expiration date. This helps me stay mindful of old and current coupons. – Jerry V., Galveston, Texas BLANKET SOLUTION Dear Readers: Here’s a hint to rescue a blanket that may have shrunk in the dryer: Just sew a long strip of matching-color fabric to the bottom of the blanket.

Horoscope For Tuesday, May 17, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a day for serious, practical discussions with partners, spouses and close friends.

People want to strategize how things should be done in the future.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)You will accomplish a lot at work today because you’re motivated.

It’s easy to put duty and obligations before play and fun.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Romantic partners might discuss the division of labor or how to share expenses. This is because you are in a practical frame of mind and ready to address these issues.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Someone older, perhaps a family member, might have practical advice for you today.

Why not stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you?

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Whatever work you do today, you will do carefully with attention to detail. This is because you want things to be more orderly in your life. Too much helter-skelter is draining!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) With cash flow, you will be practical today. You will not buy frivolous items. Whatever you buy will be long-lasting and useful -- for sure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, dancing with Saturn. This makes duty, orderliness and hard work a priority. (Work hard, party hard!)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Research of any kind will go well today because you have the motivation to go after what you’re looking for. You will pay attention to detail and maintain a steady focus.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Ask advice from someone older, perhaps a friend. Whatever this person says might affect your attitude toward your future goals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A discussion with a boss, parent or someone in a position of authority will go well today because you will respect what he or she has to say. In turn, this person will be flattered that you are listening.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a good day to make travel plans or plans for future

education. Work related to publishing, the media, medicine and the law will be productive because you mean business.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Tie up loose ends about taxes, debt, insurance issues and inheritance today, because you have the frame of mind to do this. You won’t overlook details; furthermore, you’ll work until things are done.

YOU BORN TODAY You are intense and dedicated to whatever you value. You also are artistic, political and some-

times blunt. This year is one of growth, construction and building. Initially, this growth will begin quietly, which is why you might not see major changes until next year. Do what you can to strengthen your financial position and reduce your debt. You are building for your future!

Panther tennis teams advance State tourney berths on line this weekend

By LARRY PETERSON Day

National Digest

Wire to wire PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Jason Day wanted to win The Players Championship so badly that he wasn’t going to let anything stop him.

Not the super slick greens that nearly derailed him Saturday. Not the three muffed chips that turned potential birdie into a unsettling bogey as he made the turn Sunday.

With another command performance, Day put his stamp on No. 1 in the world by never letting anyone closer than two shots in the final round, playing bogey-free on the back nine of the TPC Sawgrass for the fourth straight day and closing with a 1-under 71 for a wire-to-wire victory.

Day finished at 15-under 273 and earned $1.89 million, the richest payoff in golf. Kevin Chappell, who finished one shot behind Day at Bay Hill, was 5 under over his final 10 holes for a 69.

Raptors roll TORONTO (AP) — Kyle Lowry scored 35 points, DeMar DeRozan had 28 and the toronto Raptors beat the Miami Heat 116-89 in Game 7 on Sunday to advance to the conference finals for the first time in franchise history.

Bismack Biyombo added 17 points and 16 rebounds for the Raptors. They’ll open the Eastern Conference finals in Cleveland against LeBron James and the Cavaliers on Tuesday night.

Lowry made 11 of 20 shots, including five of seven from 3-point range, and had nine assists and seven rebounds.

Shenandoah reaches the regional final round on the heels of a 5-0 win over Atlantic and 5-1 semifinal win over Clarinda. The Cardinals had advanced by beating Red Oak, 5-2.

In a separate regional, longtime Panther nemesis Ballard cruised to a regional final with a pair of 5-0 wins over Saydel and Newton. In the finals, Glenwood faces Ballard at Carroll Kuemper.

The winners of Ballard vs. Glenwood and Creston/O-M vs. Shenandoah will meet in the first round of the state tournament in a match scheduled at 3 p.m. May 23 at Norwalk.

The Creston/O-M girls are also in Atlantic today for the Hawkeye 10 tournament.

Both Creston/O-M tennis teams advanced to the next level of postseason play with victories Saturday.

While they had to play twice, things still went faster for the Panther girls in a pair of sweeps clinched on the fifth singles victory in regional opening rounds against Osceola Clarke and Chariton in Norwalk.

The two rounds of play that began at 9 a.m. were completed by 1:30 p.m. as neither dual reached the doubles matches.

In the best-of-nine duals, as soon as one team reaches five victories, play is halted.

The Panther boys, meanwhile, were slugging it out in a hard-fought 5-3 win over Clarke in Creston.

Earlier in the regular season, Clarke had swept the doubles matches to secure a 6-3 victory.

This time, the tables were turned as singles play ended at 3-3, and the Panthers picked up two wins in doubles, while leading the other match, to win the preliminary substate dual.

Both squads will now be in action Saturday in hopes of reaching state tournament play as a team for the first time in Creston history since the 1989 boys team placed third in the one-class tournament.

Creston/O-M’s Ann Waigand finishes a 6-4, 6-0 victory over Bree Ellis of Chariton that clinched the Panthers’ 5-0 team regional semifinal victory over Chariton Saturday in Norwalk. The Panthers also defeated Clarke of Osceola Saturday, 5-0.

Earlier this season, Creston/O-M won the matchup, 5-4.

The Panther boys, meanwhile, are in a Class 1A substate semifinal match after the 8 a.m. coaches meeting at Red Oak against Boone. Glenwood meets North Polk in the other semifinal, and the

winners meet afterward for a state berth.

The Creston/O-M girls (10-2) were dominant in not losing a match all day, taking care of business as favorites in both duals. (Creston/O-M owned earlier 9-0 wins over both Clarke and Chariton this season.) Chariton had reached the semifinal round by beating Norwalk,

Panthers ‘hot and cold’ at 3A sectional

ATLANTIC — On a day when golfers experienced the full gamut of spring conditions in Iowa, the host Atlantic Trojans dominated the action Friday in the boys Class 3A sectional at Atlantic Golf and Country

Club.

It was sunny and near 70 as the golfers were midway through their first nine holes, but then a thunderstorm rolled through and the course was cleared for a 45-minute lightning delay.

Play resumed under favorable conditions, but another weather system moved through and lightning again pulled golfers

into the clubhouse. When play got under way again, a strong northwest wind had moved in, dropping temperatures into the low 50s.

Through it all, Atlantic maintained consistency, taking four of the top five individual spots in winning the tournament with a score of 302. Atlantic’s Ben GOLF | 9A

Bautista punched ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Rougned Odor’s powerful punch to Jose Bautista’s jaw will be remembered for a long time.

Perhaps it’s a good thing the Rangers and Blue Jays have played for the final time this regular season. As for the playoffs, well, that would be interesting.

A feud simmering since Jose Bautista’s bat flip in last year’s AL Division Series boiled over into a wild brawl that ultimately triggered six of the eight ejections in the Rangers’ 7-6 victory on Sunday.

The Rangers were headed to Oakland, and the Blue Jays back home to Toronto, the site of last year’s emotional meeting in the playoffs. That’s when Bautista capped a wild seventh inning with a clutch three-run homer and the monumental bat flip that angered Texas.

Bautista was upset by getting hit by an eighth-inning pitch from 30-year-old Texas rookie Matt Bush.

Moments later, Bautista slid hard into Rougned Odor on a potential double play and they ended up in a fistfight behind the bag after Odor shoved him.

5-3.

“Very pleased with our performance today,” said Panther assistant coach Amanda Plymale. “Even though they knew they might not be the toughest matches of the season, the girls came out and still competed hard to advance us to next week. I’m very excited for the next round.”

50 area qualifiers to state track

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES — When the 2016 Co-ed State Track Meet kicks off here 9 a.m.

Thursday, 50 area qualifiers will take to the famed blue oval at Drake Stadium.

The Creston girls track team leads the way with 12 total qualifiers, including every relay team the Panthers entered at last week’s State Qualifying Meet. Creston had six automatic qualifiers and added six more at-large qualifiers.

Mount Ayr’s boys track team, which looks to win its third team trophy in three years and will be in the hunt for a second state championship in three years, qualified 11 events.

Creston dozen

Kyle Somers of Creston/O-M chips onto the No. 17 green at Atlantic Golf and Country Club during Class 3A sectional action Friday. Somers led the Panthers with an 18-hole round of 84, missing one of the four individual qualifying spots for district play. As a team, Creston/O-M was sixth with a score of 353.

After a 3-3 battle in singles in which all three Panther victories went to a third set, two Creston/O-M doubles teams wrapped up the revenge win with wins.

At No. 1 doubles, Jacob Cook and Jaden Driskell sailed to a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Clarke’s Reed Morris and Taylor Ehrhardt.

Then, Ryan Kucera and Sam Eagan — who had each gone three hard sets in singles play — went to a third set in doubles and sailed 6-1 over Clarke’s William Otto and Johnathan Echeveste in the No. 2 doubles final set after splitting the first two, 6-1, 4-6. At the time, Triston Davidson and Dustin Merritt were leading 6-4 when

Creston automatically qualified freshman Brielle Baker in the 800, senior Amber Castillo in the 100 meter hurdles, the 4x400 relay, sprint medley relay, distance medley relay and junior Hannah Hood in the shot put.

Joining those six events in the Class 3A field by virtue of recording one of the next eight best performances from last week’s State Qualifying Meets are junior Lexie Little in the 400 meter hurdles, the 4x100, 4x200 and 4x800 relays, sopho m o r e Little Breanna Wallace in the high jump and Hood in the discus.

The biggest question mark for head coach Clay Arnold was whether or not the 4x800 relay team of Taylor Briley,

Jessica Beatty, Jesse Vicker and Brielle Baker ran a fast enough time to get into the fast heat.

The Panthers qualified 13th and will have to come out of the slow heat to earn a state meet medal.

On the boys side, senior Nick Walsh was edged at the line for the two automatic qualifying spots in the 800 meters, but he posted Walsh the second-best time statewide among non-automatic qualifiers.

Walsh qualified 13th overall and will run out of the slow heat Saturday morning.

Mount Ayr hits 21

The hunt for a third state trophy in three years is off to a good start for the Mount Ayr Raiders, with 11 boys qualifiers.

The Raiders look to double up in both the 400 meters and the 800 meters with the senior duo of Kyle Dolecheck and Trevor Anderson.

Dolecheck is the two-time Class 1A defending state Dolecheck champion in the 800 meters.

Western Conference finals will feature some of the most prolific players in the NBA OAKLAND, Calif. — Klay Thompson described the Oklahoma City Thunder as a “two-headed monster” in the days leading up to the Western Conference finals.

That would qualify a series also involving the Golden State Warriors as something of a Monsters Inc. There might not be two NBA teams with more bloodcurdling talents.

Oklahoma City features a spindly shot-maker in Kevin Durant and a hardcharging dynamo in Russell Westbrook. Golden State will counter with a boyish wonder in Stephen Curry, a largely expressionless sharpshooter in Thompson and a freakishly versatile forward in Draymond Green.

“Some of the best players in the world — and I mean, when it’s all said and done, maybe all time,” Thompson said Sunday, on the eve of the series opener Monday evening at Oracle Arena.

This wasn’t the series many expected to see after the San Antonio Spurs nearly matched defending champion Golden State win for win during the Warriors’ regular-season surge to 73 victories.

Then the Spurs’ win-loss ledger went L-L-L over the final three games of the conference semifinals against Oklahoma City and they were done. Durant and Westbrook had a lot to do with it, combining for 65 points during the Thunder’s series-clinching Game 6.

The duo combined to average 51.7 points per game during the regular season, second-best in the NBA. The only more prolific tandem? Curry and Thompson, who averaged a combined 52.3 points.

Curry suggested Sunday that the sprained right knee that sidelined him for two weeks earlier in the playoffs might not be fully recovered until next season, though the two-time league most valuable player said he didn’t expect to be limited against the Thunder.

“I mean, I’m pretty confident going into the series that I can be effective on the floor doing everything that I want to do and play the way I want to play,” Curry said. “Honestly, it hasn’t gotten much better in the last week but it hasn’t gotten worse either, so I’m all right with that.”

There was less certainty regarding Golden State center Andrew Bogut, who remained questionable for the series opener because of a strained muscle in his right leg. Bogut’s presence could be crucial to combating a Thunder front line that includes 7-footer Steven Adams and the 6-11 Enes Kanter.

Then again, the Warriors could turn to their smallball lineup featuring Green at center or rely on more traditional backups Festus Ezeli, Marreese Speights and Anderson Varejao.

Golden State could also push the pace and essentially concede the rebounding department, given that Oklahoma City out-rebounded the Warriors by 30 in a February game the Thunder lost.

Golden State won all three meetings between the teams during the regular season, though that doesn’t convey the drama involved.

The Warriors needed Curry to make a staggering 37-footer with six-tenths of a second left in overtime to clinch a comeback victory in Oklahoma City. If Curry buries one three-pointer Monday, he’ll break Reggie

Miller’s record of at least one make from beyond the arc in 44 consecutive playoff games.

The Warriors’ biggest proving ground probably will come on the defensive end. Thompson is expected to shadow Westbrook after having chased Houston’s James Harden and Portland’s Damian Lillard in the first two rounds of the playoffs. Thompson also happened to average a team-leading 27.2 points in those games while making 47.5 percent of his three-pointers.

“Being able to shoot the ball like that when you’ve expended so much energy at the defensive end of the floor is an amazing ability, an amazing skill,” Golden State Coach Steve Kerr said. “So we’re lucky to have him.”

Oklahoma City is trying to get back to the Finals for the first time since 2012, when it seemed as if trips to basketball’s biggest stage would become a summer ritual. An injury to Westbrook derailed the Thunder’s chances in the 2013 playoffs and one to Durant kept them out of the playoffs last season. The Spurs ended Oklahoma City’s season in the conference finals in 2014.

The Thunder have been criticized in recent years for a lack of imagination on offense. They’ve largely allowed Durant and Westbrook to operate in isolation, quite the contrast to Golden State’s constant ball movement.

No one can question either approach so far in these playoffs.

“It’s two talented teams that have a goal of getting to the Finals and are going to try to get there any way possible,” Curry said. “To win four games, it’s going to take a lot.”

Russia has doping problem and is ‘sorry,’ says minister MOSCOW (AP) — Russia has a “problem” with doping and is “very sorry” that its cheating athletes were not caught sooner, the country’s sports minister said.

Russia, a track and field powerhouse, was suspended by the IAAF in November following a WADA panel report that found state-sponsored cheating.

“Serious mistakes have been made by the federation management, along with athletes and coaches who have broken anti-doping rules and neglected the principle of fair play,” said Vitaly Mutko, writing in British newspaper The Sunday Times. “Let us be clear.

We are ashamed of them.”

“We are very sorry that athletes who tried to deceive us, and the world, were not caught sooner.

We are very sorry because Russia is committed to upholding the highest standards in sport and is opposed to anything that threatens the Olympic values.”

Mutko did not, however, admit any involvement in doping by the Russian government, a central charge in both November’s WADA report and recent allegations that test samples were switched at the Sochi Olympics.

Russia will discover on June 17 whether its athletics federation has met the reform criteria to return to competition in time for the Rio de Janeiro Olym-

pics.

“We do not deny having a problem in Russia, and we are doing everything possible at state level to eradicate doping, including punishing athletes and coaches,” Mutko wrote.

“We have done everything that has been asked of us by the IAAF in order to be reinstated,” Mutko added. “It would be unjust to demand all these changes and measures, witness them happen, and then still punish Russia’s athletes.”

Setting out Russia’s anti-doping reform agenda, Mutko said aspiring Olympians will undergo three anti-doping controls carried out by the IAAF, as well as any additional testing in qualifying competitions, and that its anti-doping agency in Moscow is being supervised by two “international experts” appointed by WADA last month.

“We will do everything humanly possible to ensure our athletes are a part of clean, fair and enthralling Games,” he said.

Mutko’s contrition contrasts with his combative attitude in recent remarks for a Russian audience.

Speaking last week to state news agency R-Sport, Mutko said that Vitaly Stepanov, a former anti-doping officer and key whistleblower whose evidence featured in the WADA report, “was chased out of (Russia) like a scoundrel” and suggested he was part of

Kirkwood bounces Spartans from regional baseball tourney WATERLOO — Kirkwood eliminated the Southwestern baseball team from Region XI Division II play Friday with a 7-1 victory.

The Spartans, coming off a first-round loss to NIACC, fell behind 6-0 in the sixth inning of Friday’s elimination-round game and could only manage one run on five hits, while committing four fielding errors.

Sean Houston, freshman from Denison-Schleswig, took the loss after pitch-

Russia was plunged into another doping scandal this week, when the former head of Moscow’s anti-doping lab, Grigory Rodchenkov, detailed in The New York Times how Russia operated a state-sponsored scheme during the Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014 that included exchanging bottles of taint-

ed urine samples for clean ones through a concealed hole in the wall of the Sochi lab. The doping program reportedly involved at least 15 Russian medal winners.

Russian officials have denied the allegations and threatened to sue the newspaper. The World Anti-Doping Agency will investigate.

We walked away from that meet feeling like we didn’t perform as well as we could have, and just wished we had a second chance. Today we got our second chance and performed much better.”

Cooper said the boys team (8-1) will benefit from another week of practice and the chance to compete for a state tournament berth.

“We are happy to get another chance to play next weekend,” Cooper said.

“We are going to have to have our best meet of the year next weekend against Boone if we were going to win.”
