This dog alerts her to low blood sugar and does several other things for her. My area of concern is those adults who feel they have to pet this dog.

Roy (the wonder dog) wears a vest in public with patches that state he is a ‘service dog’ and ‘please don’t pet me, I’m working.’ Yet people just have to reach out and touch him.

“I was brought up that you never touch another person’s dog without asking! People, please read the vest and ask permission to touch/pet, and if permission is not granted, don’t get upset.” — Pete S., Fredericksburg, Va. Give Roy a pet from me, with your permission, of course! I’ve written about this for years! It’s tempting, folks, but PLEASE ask before even approaching.

Service dogs are in WORK MODE, and that means they protect and take care of their person. Don’t distract service dogs, no matter how adorable they are. Would you want to be “petted” while you are

National Digest

Warriors win OAKLAND, Calif.

(AP) — Stephen Curry made seven 3-pointers and scored 37 points, and the Warriors withstood another brilliant performance from LeBron James to outlast the Cleveland Cavaliers 10491 on Sunday night for a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals.

Curry added seven rebounds and four assists.

With a sellout crowd rocking and roaring in their golden-yellow shirts, Curry and his teammates took control of the game — and possibly the series — in the final minutes.

Curry connected inside and out — sometimes way out — to help the Warriors pull away and get in a position they haven’t been in 40 years.

The Warriors will try to win their first title since 1975 on Tuesday night in Cleveland, which hasn’t won a major sports championship in 51 years.

Game 7, if necessary, would be in Oakland on Friday night.

“I feel confident because I’m the best player in the world,” said James, who has carried Cleveland as much as he could.

The four-time MVP had 40 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, slowing down the pace the way only he can. He made 15 of 34 shots in 44 minutes.

Scherzer gem MILWAUKEE (AP) — Max Scherzer struck out a Nationals-record 16 and threw a one-hitter, losing his perfect-game bid on Carlos Gomez’s broken-bat, bloop single in the seventh inning as Washington beat the Brewers 4-0 Sunday.

Gomez opened the seventh with a looper to shallow right field that just fell inches beyond the outstretched glove of second baseman Anthony Rendon. Gomez, indeed, said he “got lucky” to get that hit off Scherzer.

Scherzer watched the ball drop, then turned away.

“Why would I be disappointed on a broken-bat base hit? It takes luck to do that,” Scherzer said.

Scherzer set a career high for strikeouts and broke the Nationals mark of 14 set by Stephen Strasburg in his big league debut in 2010. The franchise record of 18 was set by Bill Gullickson in 1980 with Montreal — the Expos moved to Washington for the 2005 season.

Scherzer (7-5) walked one and finished the day with a 1.93 ERA.

11 straight BOSTON (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays won their 11th straight game to tie the team record, routing the Boston Red Sox 13-5 Sunday as ninth-place batter Ryan Goins homered, doubled and drove in five runs.

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

The Creston softball team made a big statement here Saturday night, knocking off Class 4A eighth-ranked and two-time defending state champion Dallas Center-Grimes in the finale of the 2015 John Stephens Softball Classic.

The Panthers erased a 3-0 deficit and survived four errors en route to a 12-7 win in 12 innings Saturday night in a game that took 2 hours, 40 minutes to complete.

Dallas Center-Grimes grabbed a 1-0 lead after the first inning and led 3-0 after three innings.

The Panthers finally got on the board in the top of the fourth inning on an Alyssa Higgins RBI single after Shelby Palser led the inning off with a single.

Still trailing 3-1, the Panthers were down to their last out in the top of the seventh when Haylee LaMasters singled, followed by a Natalie Mostek walk. Brenna Baker walked to load the bases.

With Dallas Center-Grimes pitcher Allie Boender hitting the outside corner of the plate consistently, Palser drove in the tying runs by taking an outside pitch the opposite way to right field on an 0-2 count.

Creston junior Shelby Palser lines up a pitch for an RBI single in the first inning of Creston’s 9-0 win over Treynor Saturday afternoon in the 2015 John Stephens Softball Classic. Palser was named Player of the Game, collecting three hits, including a triple, and three RBI.

close. That we’re not really sold we can do it,’” Creston head coach Mike McCabe said. “That’s kind of what I feel and I thought we kind of got after it a little bit.”

LaMasters set the Fillies down in order in the bottom of the seventh inning, sending the game to extra innings and the international tiebreaker, where the final out from the previous inning goes to second base to start the inning.

After playing through two scoreless frames of extras, Creston took a 4-3 lead in the top of the 10th inning when Alli Thomsen hit an RBI

single into right-center field to score Palser. It was Thomsen’s lone hit of the game.

D a l - Thomsen las Center-Grimes countered with an RBI single from Rachel Lowary in the bottom half of the inning, but the Fillies stranded her at third base.

“I was a little bit down after that, to be honest,” McCabe said. “They picked me back up. They didn’t quit.”

The Panthers started the

11th with Taylor Briley on second base and LaMasters at the plate. Boender had pitched around LaMasters most of the game, but made a mistake with a pitch that LaMasters hit to the fence in center field for an RBI double.

After Mostek lined out to the pitcher, Baker hit an RBI single into the gap in left-center field to put the Panthers on top 6-4.

But Dallas Center-Grimes tied the game as a run scored on an error and then another run came home on a Janae Hannemann double.

With Hannemann on sec-

What happened next surprised just about everyone.

After the first two Panther batters in the top of the 12th recorded outs, Creston put seven straight on base, including five by hits, as the Panthers scored six runs with two outs in the inning to take a 12-6 lead.

Briley hit a tworun double, while Baker and Palser each hit two-run singles to break the Baker game wide open.

“Shelby had a big hit, Brenna had big hits in there,” McCabe said. “Alli had a big hit in there. Her one hit was a big one. It was fun. You just can’t duplicate that kind of stuff. I thought Haylee gutted it out. That’s a pretty good hitting club.

Good way to end the Classic, that’s for sure.”

That proved to be all Shiltz needed in limiting the Trojans to a single run in the sixth inning.

“I think they probably looked at our record, and our (youthful) roster, and said hey, this is a team we should be able to handle,” Creston coach Steve Birchard said. “Afterward, I told the kids we played a really solid, complete game.”

Creston had just one error — a dropped popup near the mound in the seventh — which caused no harm as first baseman Jaden Driskell snared a liner and stepped on the bag for the team’s second double play of the evening to end the game.

In the fourth, Pals did the same at shortstop, snatching a sinking liner and tossing to Brenden McDowell for a force at second.

walks in the game.

Palser finished 3-for-7 at the plate with four RBI, while Baker went 2-6 with three RBI. Briley finished 2-7 with two RBI. In the circle, LaMasters pitched all 12 innings, giving up 10 hits and striking out seven LaMasters with no walks.

“I hope we learned today we can step it up a little bit,” McCabe said. “There’s still some things we need to do better — bunting game, our baserunning. We’ve got some room for improvement. Maybe it motivates them to want a little bit more, if anything.”

2-1 start The Panthers went 2-1 in their first three games of the John Stephens Softball Classic, rolling to an 11-1 win in five innings against Griswold, before losing 5-2 to Ankeny. The Panthers then started Saturday with a 9-0 win over Treynor.

Creston had one bad inning in Friday’s finale against Ankeny, giving up four runs in the third inning, as the Hawkettes scored two of those runs after an error on what would have been an inning-ending out.

“Told them, hopefully the lesson learned is things like that are going to happen,” McCabe said. “Against teams like that, you can’t feel bad for yourself. You’ve got to dig in, because you can’t give them extra outs and they’re going to make you earn every little thing.”

The Panthers opened the tournament with the 11-1 win over Griswold, in which Mostek smoked a home run over the center field fence.

LaMasters finished 4-for-4 in Mostek the game with two doubles and four RBI. The win over Treynor saw the Panther bats continue to stay hot, as Briley and LaMasters hit back-to-back home runs in the game.

Palser finished with three

hits, including a triple, and three RBI in the game.

Creston’s first seven runs against Treynor came with two outs.

Creston improved to 10-3 for the season and returns to action tonight at Red Oak before traveling to Glenwood on Tuesday.

I want to thank everyone for the calls, cards and concerns during my recent hospitalization. I really appreciate the excellent care the doctors, EMTs and Creston hospital staff provided.

Iowa’s no-rehire list continues growing despite concerns DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa continued to add people to its do-not-rehire list over the past year despite the concerns raised by some representatives of public employees and at least one lawmaker.

The Des Moines Register reports public documents show 67 people have been added to the list that now includes 943 people ineligible to work in state government.

Critics say the process of adding people to the list can be arbitrary and inconsistent.

“I really think we’re getting ourselves set up for a lawsuit,” said state Sen. Janet Petersen.

The Democrat from Des Moines tried unsuccessfully to impose limits on the no-hire list in the legislature.

But state officials defend the list as a way to keep problematic employees off of Iowa’s payroll. And the Department of Administrative Services says anyone on the list can request their status be reviewed.

“It’s important for DAS

to protect taxpayers’ interest and not pass around employees that have a known malfeasance from one agency to another,” said Caleb Hunter, a spokesman for the Iowa Department of Administrative Services.

Since the state first released the list in April 2014, there have been government oversight hearings and a lawsuit on behalf of three former workers.

The list includes workers who were disqualified from state government jobs because they were fired or resigned.

“It’s draconian that an innocuous workplace issue could follow you forever in every job in the state,” Tom Duff said. “And there also ought to be some uniformity about what sort of offense gets you put on the list.”

Former corrections officer Sarah Zaruba of Newton said she left her job voluntarily after her husband’s death in February, but she was added to the don’t-rehire list.

DES MOINES (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton is distancing herself from President Barack Obama over a content i o u s t r a d e proposal, encouraging the president to address Clinton concerns raised by congressional Democrats and negotiate a better deal with 11 Pacific Rim nations.

The Democratic presidential front-runner on Sunday told Iowa Democrats that Obama should seek more concessions as a way to improve the Trans Pacific Partnership and suggested she’d drive a harder bargain than Obama.

“No president would be a tougher negotiator on behalf of American workers, either with our trade partners or Republicans on Capitol Hill, than I would be,” Clinton said.

But Clinton, who is campaigning Monday in New Hampshire, declined to take a firm stance on the trade deal that has split

Obama from House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and rank-and-filed Democrats.

That wasn’t acceptable to one of her chief Democratic rivals for the 2016 race, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

“Is she for it? Is she against it?” Sanders told reporters in Indianola, Iowa.

“Those are your two options.”

The White House and Republican leaders in Congress are facing long odds in reviving the legislation after con- Obama gressional Democrats helped defeat a job retraining program last week in a blow to Obama’s attempt to secure so-called fast track authority. Without the authority to negotiate trade deals that Congress can approve or reject, but not amend, the president would face difficulty in securing the Asia trade deal after years of work.

Congressional Republicans have suggested they may try to revive the bill as

activists in a park pavilion, the so-called “democratic socialist” railed against what he called a “disastrous” trade deal and said he would do everything he could to scuttle it.

“I kind of think people would prefer to hear what your position is — are you for it or against it?” Sanders said, asked later by reporters about Clinton’s trade comments. “Rather than passing the buck and saying well, in a sense, I don’t have a position. That is not leadership.”

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley has also opposed the deal and likened it to the North American Free Trade Agreement signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1993.

early as this week. Pelosi decided to side with House Democrats and oppose Obama’s plan, saying it required “a better deal for America’s workers.”

In Iowa, Clinton appeared to seek middle ground, saying while some support the deal and others vehemently oppose it, “I kind of fall in the group that says ‘what’s in it?’ And ‘let’s make it as good as it can be, and then let’s make a decision.’”

But that is unlikely to satisfy liberals and labor unions in the party who have organized against the trade pact.

Sanders has made his opposition to the TPP one of the centerpieces of his uphill campaign.
