As the last touch-ups are completed and the final papers are signed for the completion of Southwestern Community College’s newest student housing building, fall athletes will be on their way to start the 2014-15 school year.

“The biggest thing was they are amazed it is going to be done and ready to go,” Tom Lesan, SWCC vice president of economic development, said. “We had a cold, long winter and a wet spring.

It was the process they used to build the building. Once

they got the building set up, they could use temporary heat and pour concrete in January T. Lesan and February.”

SWCC board members and faculty took a brief tour of Spartan Court Wednesday night following their regularly scheduled board meeting.

Construction on the dorm started November 2013 and will be completed Friday.

Lesan led the tour, highlighting a new community room for more student social interaction and the laundry room that doubles as a storm shelter for residents.

“A lot of the board members said this was way better than any dorm they ever had to stay in,” Lesan said. “That is based on what our students have told us they want.

This isn’t really a dorm, it is

an apartment.”

Similar to the other apartment-style dorms on campus, each suite will have four individual bedrooms, a shared living room, kitchen area and two bathrooms.

Despite the new addition to campus housing, SWCC is once again seeking help from the community to help find living arrangements for students who are still in need of a place to live near campus this fall.

“Housing has become such a deciding factor when students are making their college decisions,” SWCC Admissions Coordinator Caitlyn C. Lesan Lesan said.

“We’re very excited that we’ve once again reached capacity in student housing, even with the addition of a new three-story residence

hall. However, we don’t want the fact we’re full to impact enrollment, therefore we’re looking to the Creston community to help us find housing for all these students.”

She encouraged anyone with open rental properties or housing opportunities for college students to contact her at 641-782-1453.

Nice surprise With the increase of enrollment, Lesan said an additional freezer was added to the kitchen in the student center to increase storage space.

In order to run the unit, more power had to be run into the building.

“The unit that heats the gym apparently had the capacity to also do air conditioning,” Lesan said. “I’m not sure anyone on campus knew it had the capacity, someone years ago planned Please see SWCC, Page 14

DES MOINES (AP) — Republican Gov. Terry Branstad and Democratic challenger Jack Hatch are set to face off in their first debate.

Branstad and Hatch are scheduled to meet today at the Iowa State Fair. This will be the first of three debates in the race.

Branstad Branstad is running for an unprecedented sixth nonconsecutive term and has been touting a record of job creation and tax cuts. Hatch, a longtime state lawmaker, says he could do more to boost incomes and improve services, such as education and health care.

Hatch Thus far, Branstad has looked stronger in the race. He remains popular in the polls and had more than $4 million in his campaign account in mid-July. Hatch had less than $200,000 at that time and had lent personal funds to the campaign.

Absentee voting for the Creston High School Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) is slated for Aug. 18. Voters can stop in to the Union County Courthouse or sign up to have a ballot mailed to their home.

“This is absolutely not an additional tax,” said Creston High School Superintendent Steve McDermott. “It is a proposed continuation of a current part of our school levy. It is also an extremely Please see ABSENTEE, Page 2

Attendance low for summer lunch programs

By SARAH BROWN

CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews.com

Attendance at summer lunch programs in Creston has been low.

Currently, two summer lunch programs exist in Creston that serve individuals under the age of 18; the summer food service program at Creston High School, funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and a summer lunch program sponsored by One in Christ, a collaboration of local churches and their congregations.

Nora Sprague, food service director of Creston School District,

said the USDA’s summer food service program begins at the commencement of the school year and runs through mid-July.

During the school year, almost half of students enrolled in Creston Schools are enrolled in the federal free and reduced meal program. In the 2012-13 school year, that was 49.16 percent of the 1,558 students enrolled in the district.

Because of this number, Sprague said she feels the summer lunch program is important.

“There is such a need,” Sprague said. “We don’t want these kids to go hungry.”

Sprague said the numbers this summer have increased slightly

over last, but still remain low.

However, she doesn’t believe the low turnout is entirely contributed to barriers such as transportation.

Southwest Iowa Trolley transports children to meal sites for 50 cents.

“A lot of children are in different programs, day cares or with Please see LUNCH, Page 2

5 years ago President John F. Kennedy’s sister, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who carried on the family’s public service tradition by founding the Special Olympics and championing the rights of the mentally disabled, died Aug. 11 surrounded by relatives at a Hyannis hospital. She was 88. As celebrity, social worker and activist, Shriver was credited with transforming America’s view of the mentally disabled from institutionalized patients to friends, neighbors and athletes.

Her efforts were inspired in part by the struggles of her mentally disabled sister, Rosemary.

About 300 people attended a town hall meeting with Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, Aug. 12 to express concerns about health care reform. The crowd overflowed Afton City Hall, so the meeting was moved to the United Methodist Church.

The school board may annually certify a regular PPEL of up to 33 cents per thousand dollars of assessed property valuation.

School district voters may authorize an additional PPEL amount up to $1.34.

Creston Community Schools utilizes a PPEL of $1.

McDermott said this helps keep the school tax levy rate level.

PPEL can be used to improve school grounds and

buildings, purchase technology, secure transportation equipment and many other options. It cannot be used for general fund expenses such as staff salaries or benefits.

“It has been primarily used to keep our facilities maintained,” McDermott said. “We are looking toward expanding our digital learning.”

New art exhibit on display at Warren Cultural Center GREENFIELD — The Warren Cultural Center presents “Alchemy: Transforming Historic Copper into Art,” a solo exhibit of artwork featuring copper salvaged from the E.E. Warren Opera House’s restoration.

A complete restoration of the 1896 Warren Opera House building in Greenfield was completed in 2012.

During that restoration, it was determined that the copper cornice could not be saved, so it was replaced with new copper. Greenfield artist Deb Houghtaling has transformed the original, salvaged copper into jewelry, ornaments, keepsakes and now wall art and clocks.

“It’s amazing to think that this copper faced the Greenfield square for 115 years,” said Houghtaling. “I like the idea that the pieces I create with this metal all have special significance because of that.”

In the exhibit, Houghtaling presents 55 pieces of wall art showing a variety of metalworking techniques such as fold forming, dapping, texturing, cold connecting and fire painting.

The artwork also highlights the different textures and untouched colors of the salvaged metal.

B&B

“Each piece of copper I start with is completely unique because of variations in the texture and the color and intensity of the natural patina. One piece in the show highlights bullet holes, a fairly regular feature in the original copper,” said Houghtaling.

After taking one Chicago Park District metalsmithing class 12 years ago, Houghtaling is a mostly self-taught artist. Her favorite technique is using materials that often would be considered trash such as salvaged metal or glass and transforming them into jewelry or art.

The exhibit will run through Aug. 28, and all artwork is for sale. A reception/ demonstration is planned for 4 to 7 p.m. Aug. 20 in the Warren Cultural Center gallery.

OPINION

The end of summer is fast approaching The true end of summer is still a month away. But — with most schools opening up next week — the unofficial ending to summer is upon us. This has been one of the nicest summers I can remember temperature-wise.

The super cold winter has held on into the summer and has made the usual hot and humid summer into one most people love. We have not hit 100 degrees yet this year. In fact, we have only hit 90 degrees twice in July and none in June. The high for August is only 82 degrees at the almost halfway point in the month.

Let’s hope the nice weather continues into fall.

School Be prepared for a lot of kids moving around starting again next week. School will be back in session and many kids will not be looking

out for the traffic. SWCC doesn’t get started until Aug. 25, so the full, steady stream of traffic on Townline here in Creston will not get started until that date.

State Fair It is kind of surprising to me with all the nice weather this year that the attendance at the Iowa State Fair is down compared to last year.

I made the trip last Sunday and was expecting a large crowd, but it was pretty easy getting around the fair and the lines where not long at any of the things we wanted to do.

Although, the cost is not getting

any better for things like food. Turkey legs are now $8 each. The new thing they are trying with some $3 items seems to be pretty popular, but the main items like corn dogs and such are still pretty pricey.

Chicago I spent a couple of days in Chicago last week at a conference.

They were having one of their big fundraisers of the year (Rubber Ducky Derby) in the river near where we were staying. You could buy a rubber duck for $5 and have a chance to win a car. More than 53,000 ducks went floating down the river. Plus, there was a big fireworks show that evening. The money from the ducks goes to Special Olympics Illinois.

Taxes Check your mailbox next week.

Your property tax statement may

be the prize you get. The first half of property taxes are due by Sept.

30.

Ag Mag Our current edition of the Ag Mag is in the mail. We do have some extras if anyone would like one here at the newspaper office.

Most are being sent to local agriculture “types,” but anyone is welcome to a copy.

Lincoln I’m sure the library folks are not real happy with the possible sale of the Lincoln School site, but an opportunity to get the property back onto the tax rolls and provide some new housing in Creston sure makes a lot of sense.

There has been a lot of “discussion” as to whether the Lincoln site is what we need for a library location. My main concern is that it will

take a long time to gather the money needed to convert the facility.

It is tough enough to raise money when you have a good percentage of people who want a project. I’m not sure we have enough consensus to make it happen.

Movies I’ve taken in a couple of good movies this past week. My wife is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fan, having a couple of boys that got into the turtles. So, we took in the new turtle movie. It has done so well they have already announced they will be doing another. Also, Guardians of the Galaxy is worth a watch.

It has a good storyline and plenty of action. It, too, will have a sequel.

Thought of the week: “One day your life will flash before your eyes.

Make sure it is worth watching!” — Gerard Way

California girl plans to marry Charles Manson HOLLYWOOD — Happy Thursday, everybody, and God Bless America.

The Comedy Store was swamped by TV reporters interviewing Robin Williams’ comedian friends who praised his genius.

However, we refused to answer questions about life in L.A. in the late Seventies. If we wouldn’t tell the grand jury, why should we tell Entertainment Tonight?

NBC reported Monday a twenty-five-year-old California girl who goes by the name of Star plans to marry Charles Manson even though he’s serving life in state prison. It’s just not natural. For crying out loud, Charles Manson’s old enough to have murdered her grandparents.

ISIS troops seized human shields in Iraq Monday thinking that U.S. warplanes won’t bomb them for fear of civilian casualties. That’s nuts. This bad judgment goes back twenty-four years to just before the Persian Gulf War, when Saddam Hussein won the toss and elected to receive.

Rory McElroy won the PGA Championship at Valhalla in Louisville Sunday after winning the British Open two weeks ago. It’s just great being a PGA Tour golfer. Where else can you

walk through a fancy neighborhood dressed like a pimp without eventually causing civil unrest.

The U.S. Postal Service reported losing two billion dollars in the second quarter despite an increase in package revenue. They lost almost two billion in the first quarter. The four billion dollar loss in six months makes the Post Office the most profitable branch of the U.S. government.

Ukraine refused to allow hundreds of Russian trucks into Ukraine purportedly bringing humanitarian aid to pro-Russian rebels Tuesday. They fear Russia may be smuggling troops inside the trucks. War Colleges used to study German invasion plans, now they study Mexico’s.

GOP prankster James O’Keefe shot a video of himself crossing the Rio Grande into Texas dressed and made up to look like Osama bin Laden. What a hopeless cause. If he couldn’t find the seventy-two virgins waiting for him in Mexico, he’s certainly not going to find them in Texas.

Letter to the editor From Bill Barker Creston

I would like to address the issue of selling the Lincoln School and land to the Omaha developer. We do need more housing for seniors and veterans with progressive market rates – not adding assets to the formula based on your income!

When the library first announced their plan, many of us gave our blessing, and I thought it was a worthwhile project, and they would get a grant and raise the money needed. I am finding businesses as well as the Friends of the Library as a group has also become divided. And the cost of the project has doubled.

We all need to show up and/

or let your interest known 6 p.m.

Tuesday, Aug. 19, at city hall.

Maybe the meeting will have to move downstairs.

We need to move forward on both projects. Housing and/or a cultural center for the library.

They could decide to go with the project with the grant and money needed to complete projects. I remain interested.

HOME

Three success tips for converting an attic into living space (BPT) - Moving up - vacating your current, smallish home for a larger, roomier abode - was the American way before the Great Recession. Now that the economy is humming again, at least some of the people who stayed put during those lean years will be looking to move into larger, nicer homes this summer.

High demand and low inventory, however, may leave many with nowhere to go. Some will rediscover a time-honored space-gaining technique: attic conversion.

As home improvements go, converting an attic into usable living space has a high return on investment about 84 percent at the time of resale, according to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report. That’s if you use your unfinished attic to create a 15-by-15foot bedroom and a modest 5-by-7-foot bathroom with shower. Create a larger, more luxurious and more elaborate space and the ROI could be even greater.

If your family is bursting at the seams, the value of added space will be measured in comfort, convenience and peace of mind, rather than resale dollars.

As with any renovation project, achieving an attic conversion requires you to balance numerous factors, from budget and objective to space and architectural limitations. Some of your most-desired features - such as ample natural light or a full bathroom - may seem out of reach. They don’t have to be, though, if you rely on some time-tested techniques to maximize the space.

Lighting the natural way Typically, attics aren’t built with a lot of windows, and adding them may be difficult if the ceiling is sloped. Yet natural light is a highly prized feature in

Real Estate Report SUMMER CLEANING Are your sliding doors or shower door dragging because of dirty tracks? Spray the tracks with a degreasing all-purpose cleaner and let it set a few minutes. Then get a screwdriver that will fit in the track, cover the end with a rag and clean the tracks.

When your garbage can heats up, it really smells. Rinse it out with a hose, spray with a disinfectant, and then rinse with the hose again.

Leave it upside down to dry.

This time of year is slow for many types of maintenance professionals.

Sometimes you can get bargains on services. Go ahead and schedule your annual furnace inspection.

www.rrealtyofcreston.com Skylights with decor-enhancing designer blinds bring much more natural light and fresh air to an attic conversion, at less expense and with more style, than traditional dormers or windows. Solar powered fresh air skylights and blinds, along with installation costs, are eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit.

virtually any room, especially if you’re converting your attic into a bedroom, family room or other public area. Traditional solutions include adding dormers, which can be costly and time-consuming.

What’s more, windows and dormers can eat up wall space, which is often at a premium in attics.

Skylights or roof windows can be a better option in an attic space. They require less time and cost to install than dormers and can easily live on slanted ceilings.

Choose Energy Star-qualified no-leak, solar-powered fresh-air skylights like those from VELUX America utilized in the O’More College of Design Alumni House, add solar-powered blinds, and you can achieve a lightfilled attic room that is both

beautiful and energy efficient. The cost of the products, including installation, are eligible for a 30-percent federal tax credit. And from now until August 15, there’s also a $200 cash rebate from VELUX on solar powered skylights. To learn more, visit www.whyskylights. com.

Roof windows, which are less expensive than dormers, are another costeffective attic conversion option. VELUX offers both a top-hinged model and a double-sash balcony model that open at the top and bottom to create a roof balcony that admits much more light than a dormer while offering access to the outdoors. Roof windows offer maximum ventilation plus the added advantage of meeting building code

requirements as points of emergency escape and egress.

Heating and cooling Attics are often the hottest or coldest room in the house, depending on the time of year and the quality of your home’s insulation.

Creating a comfortable atmosphere in a converted attic requires expert planning.

You may need to increase insulation. Because insulation has such a significant impact on a home’s overall comfort and energy efficiency, it makes sense to invest in the best you can afford. Spray foam is often a good option for converted attics because it can go easily between existing joists and create a tight air barrier without losing the inches of space required for thick fiberglass batt insulation.

You’ll also need to consider how you will heat and cool the space. A heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system expert can help you determine the best approach.

Skylights and roof windows can also play an important role in your heating and cooling conversion plan due to the chimney effect they utilize to exhaust rising hot air from an attic space while providing abundant daylight and fresh air.

Plumbing made easier Adding a bathroom anywhere in a home is usually a good investment. Bathroom additions return about 60 percent of your investment at the time of resale, according to the Cost vs. Value Report. Creating an attic bathroom can be simple - if pipes are already present -

or challenging if no plumbing exists in the space.

One alternative to traditional plumbing is up-flush, which allows you to install sinks, toilets, showers and even bath tubs without engaging in major construction to accommodate traditional plumbing pipes.

Up-flush plumbing cost less than traditional plumbing methods and is easier to fit into tight spaces - like the odd nooks that often occur in attics.

With planning and the right materials, it’s possible to convert an attic into a living space that makes your home even more livable for your family while you’re staying in place. Plus, it will enhance your home’s value down the road when you’re ready to move up.

Build a lasting memory with your backyard project (BPT) — There are regular backyard projects and then there are those special backyard projects that bring families closer together, both during the construction and while enjoying the finished piece.

If you want to improve your backyard with a special project for your family this year but you’re not sure what to build, here are a few fun ideas.

• Wood raised-garden planter. If anyone in your home has a green thumb, this is a great idea. A raised planter bed keeps the soil warmer longer, which will extend the gardening season. Your plants will also enjoy better soil conditions because the soil won’t be walked on. Finally, raised

beds make it easier to protect your plants from hungry woodland animals.

• Wood treehouse. One of the iconic mainstays of childhood: If you have young children at home, they will love it. Incorporate extra elements into your tree house (ladders, slides, climbing wall, etc.) for prolonged enjoyment and consider putting walls on the structure.

This will allow your children to play inside longer into the year.

• Wood swing set. Build it as an attachment to the treehouse or as a standalone project. In either case, a swing set is sure to be popular. Basing the posts into the ground and building your set from quality treated lumber means it will be ready for

your children - and for any full-grown kid who wants to swing away nostalgically.

• Wood sandbox. Another iconic childhood toy. Building a sandbox with higher side walls will reduce the amount of sand that spills over the side, and adding a base means this section of your yard won’t be filled with sand forever. You may also consider building a wooden cover for your child’s sandbox to hide toys from sight and from the elements.

• Picnic table. Not every project has to be designed just for the kids. A picnic table provides that at-thepark feeling right in your own backyard. Before you start your picnic table project, however, determine what style table you want

Color-treated lumber keeps your backyard project from becoming a faded memory.

(square, rectangle, hexagon, etc.) as well as the size of the table. If you have a large family or frequent guests, you may want to build a bigger table (but remember that this table will be harder to move around). If your table will only be used by a couple of people, a small, portable table is probably the better option.

When it’s time to choose a building material for your backyard project, consider pressure-treated lumber, which is both affordable and easy to use. Additionally, some brands of treated lumber give your backyard project a professional-grade look. When using treated lumber, be sure to check the end tag as it identifies the treatment type. Look for

the ProWood end tag, because it’s an indicator that tells you it’s building code approved and treated for your intended use. ProWood MCA (Micronized copper azole) treated lumber has a lighter, fresher appearance compared to other current or previous treatments. MCA pressure-treated wood is the logical, safe choice - it’s completely safe for people and pets.

Safe and environmentally friendly treated wood Clean, odorless, nonstaining and non-irritating, ProWood MCA treated lumber from Universal Forest Products is safe for humans, animals and the environment. The process used to treat this wood has gained Environmentally Prefer-

able Product (EPP) status as certified by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS), a third-party certification services and standards development company. The preservative in ProWood MCA treated lumber has earned NAHB’s Green Approved Product certification and the GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certification.

Add a touch of color to your backyard project with ProWood Dura Color. It’s color-infused MCA-treated lumber, so your swing set, picnic table or sandbox will retain a colorful appearance for years. To learn more about ProWood MCA treated lumber and to find inspiration for your next project, visit www.ProWoodLumber. com.

2 Iowa prison inmates sue over religious issues DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Two Iowa prison inmates must receive nightly meals and chapel time during Ramadan and be allowed the same religious accommodations as other Muslims, a federal judge ruled.

Michael Williams-El and James Blair-Bey sued prison officials in 2012 from the Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort Madison.

Both men are serving life prison sentences for firstdegree murder.

Blair, 54, was sentenced in December 1982 from Polk County and Williams, 40, went to prison in 1999 from Cerro Gordo County, Iowa, prison records indicate.

U.S. Constitution requires the men to be able to participate in their religion.

The men identify themselves as members of the Moorish Science Temple of America, and they said in court documents their religious faith is Moorish Islam.

In 2012 the men were no longer permitted to participate in the activities associated with Ramadan including eating their meal after sunset as other Muslims did.

They also were no longer authorized to meet at night in the prison chapel with other inmates to break their fast, read the Quran and engage in discussions.

The decision was made after the Muslim leader Imam Taha Tawil determined that members of the Moorish Science Temple have beliefs contrary to those of Islam.

Solve the softener syndrome Dear Heloise: I saw the article in the San Antonio Express-News about not using FABRIC SOFTENERS when washing bath towels. I have been using fabric softener for some time, and I have noticed the problem and wondered why (Heloise here: Jim is referring to towels not being absorbent when too much liquid softener is used, or when dryer sheets are used every time).

Would future washings without the softeners bring back the towels’ original absorbency, or is there a specific step that must be taken to do so? Or is it too late? — Jim S. in Texas It’s not too late, Jim! Just wash the bath towels alone, with nothing else, add 1 cup of ammonia (no detergent) and run through a second rinse cycle. Fabric softener is OK if not overused, especially on towels. — Heloise TAKE A PICTURE Dear Heloise: I have been lucky enough to receive floral arrangements several times a year from out-of-state relatives. I always take a quick picture and include it in the thank-you note that I write. It lets the sender see how beautiful the flowers are and if it’s what he or she requested.

Hints from Heloise Sometimes I have found that the delivered flowers differed from the actual order. For example: My son, who hates carnations, always asks florists to make sure there are none in the arrangement, but then if he sees them in the picture, he can let them know. — Mary D. in Tennessee INSIDE OUT Dear Heloise: Growing up in a big family, we all were expected to pitch in and do our share of household chores, including making our own beds.

Pillows can be unwieldy for a child’s hands, so our mom taught us to peel off the pillowcases inside out. That makes it easier to put them back on the pillows as well. Simply insert your arms into the inside-out pillowcase, grab the pillow through the case and then flip it around to cover it in one shot. I’m an old grandma now, and I still use this quick-andeasy technique! It’s great for those big, bulky body pillows, too. — Larisa R. in Florida

LAUNDRY BASKET Dear Heloise: I use plastic baskets for my family’s laundry. I hate to think of all the things that might still be on the basket from the dirty clothes when the clean clothes come out of the dryer.

I keep a container of sanitizing wipes and a clean, dry sponge by the washer. I just wrap the wipe around the sponge (this makes it easier to clean the part of the basket with holes) and give the basket a quick once-over. — Dan. H. in Texas CLOGGED NOZZLE Dear Heloise: Ever try to use your hair spray only to find the hole stopped up?

Can’t find a pin to unclog it?

Just run the nozzle under a hot-water tap for a couple of BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker seconds, and it will spray like new! — Barbara in Maryland Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O.

Three-hitter KANSAS CITY — Jason Vargas tossed a three-hitter for his sixth career shutout, Omar Infante hit a two-run homer and the Kansas City Royals beat the Oakland Athletics 3-0 on Wednesday night.

Vargas (9-5) retired the final 23 batters he faced in only his third start since an emergency appendectomy. The lefthander also helped Kansas City bounce back from having an eightgame winning streak snapped and maintain a half-game lead over Detroit in the AL Central.

The University of Nebraska at Omaha men’s basketball director of operations has taken an assistant coaching position at Southwestern Community College.

Tyler Bullock will join former UNO assistant coach Todd Lorensen, recently named the Spartans’ new head coach.

Bullock, a Lincoln native, played for the Mavericks from 2009 to 2011 and was an All-American honor-

able mention selection, a two-time all-region pick and two-time All-MIAA honoree.

“We will miss all the positive things Tyler brought to our staff here at UNO, as he did a tremendous job as our director of operations for the last two seasons,” UNO coach Derrin Hansen said in a press release. “During that time, however, he was not able to coach or recruit. This new position at Southwestern Community College will allow Tyler to advance in the coaching profession, which has ultimately been

his goal.”

Lorensen said Bullock’s hiring helps set the framework of a new era of basketball at SWCC. “Coach Bullock has a tremendous background as a player and as a part of the staff at Nebraska-Omaha,” Lorensen said. “He will be a tremendous asset to SWCC in recruiting and player development. I am excited to have him on staff and know our players will benefit greatly from him being here.”

In addition to his coaching duties, Bullock will be

a residence hall coordinator for SWCC’s student housing department. He begins his duties Monday.

In the 2009-10 season, Bullock led UNO to to a conference championship and an NCAA Tournament appearance. He capped his career with 1,124 career points, becoming the fastest player in school history to join the 1,000-point club.

Following his basketball career at UNO, Bullock played professionally with the Moncton Miracles of the National Basketball League of Canada and the Scran-

Tiger Woods removed himself from consideration for the Ryder Cup team Wednesday evening with a clear message that he is not healthy enough to play.

One day after U.S. captain Tom Watson said he trusted Woods to give him the “straight skinny” on the condition of his back injury and his game, Woods said he called the 64-year-old captain to say he would not be available.

The decision spares Watson from having to leave Woods off the team, and it eliminates a distraction over the next three weeks before Watson announces his three captain’s picks for the Sept. 26-28 matches against Europe at Gleneagles.

“I have already spoken to Tom about the Ryder Cup, and while I greatly appreciate his thinking about me for a possible captain’s pick, I took myself out of consideration,” Woods said in a statement on his website. “The U.S. team and the Ryder Cup mean too much to me not to be able to give it my best.”

That he was even under consideration was mildly surprising.

Allen hopes to suit up as Bears take on Jaguars

By ANDREW SELIGMAN

AP Sports Writer

CHICAGO (AP) — Jared Allen can see it all coming together for the Chicago Bears and their defense.

Now, all he needs to do is get on the field.

The five-time Pro Bowl defensive end anticipates suiting up for the first time with the Bears when they host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday.

Chicago’s prized free agent acquisition, Allen sat out last week’s preseason opener against Philadelphia after missing practices because his wife gave birth to a girl.

Assuming he plays this week, it will provide the first glimpse at a rebuilt defense that the Bears are counting on to make a playoff run functions with its new star.

“I think we’re well where we need to be, past where we need to be,” Allen said.

“I think guys really understand where certain guys are going to be, how we’re going to react to certain things.

From that standpoint, it just

takes reps. But it’s huge.

And you can see that.”

The Bears made a bunch of big moves after their defense struggled last season on the way to an 8-8 record, none bigger than signing Allen away from Minnesota.

W i t h him now anchoring the line, Chicago believes it Allen is poised for a run at the playoffs after missing out for the sixth time in seven years.

All 11 starters are back on an offense that ranked among the NFL’s most prolific last season, the first under coach Marc Trestman.

If the Bears are going to make the playoffs, they’ll need more from their defense after it ranked among the worst in the league — and in franchise history — a year ago.

That starts up front. More to the point, it starts with Allen, who was back practicing this week.

He comes to Chicago with

128½ sacks and the task of not only igniting the dormant pass rush, but helping breathe life into the run defense.

More than anything, the Bears believe that a beefedup line that features Allen as well as LaMarr Houston and Jeremiah Ratliff will ease the load on other areas of the defense, one that got bogged down by injuries and several misplays last season.

That group looked pretty good in last week’s win against Philadelphia even without Allen.

The Bears rattled Nick Foles in the early going, pressuring him and intercepting him twice.

This time, they’ll be going against Chad Henne at quarterback in the first two quarters, with Jaguars coach Gus Bradley saying he’s leaning toward giving rookie Blake Bortles the whole second half.

Bortles, the No. 3 pick in the draft, put up more impressive numbers than Henne last week against Tampa Bay, completing 7 of 11 passes for 117 yards. They would have been better had

receivers not dropped three of his passes.

Henne, who was 4 of 7 for 30 yards against the Buccaneers, praised the rookie. He was particularly impressed with Bortles’ demeanor, saying, “He went to the right places with the football, got the coverages for the plays and executed well. He put the ball on point, and I thought he was a really good decision-maker out there and moved the chains.”

For Chicago, quarterbacks are also a story line with Jimmy Clausen and Jordan Palmer competing for the backup spot.

Coach Marc Trestman said Clausen will get the first call once Jay Cutler leaves the game and that Palmer will be the second man in relief — a flip from the preseason opener.

Both candidates for the No. 2 job had some good moments in last week’s win over Philadelphia, with Palmer overcoming an interception to throw for 104 yards and a touchdown.

Clausen threw for 150 and two scores.

The Banner Shooting Range has new programs and promotions planned for August and September. The Banner Shooting Range is at 13796 Elkhorn Street, north of Indianola. The phone number is 515-961-6408.

Iowa picks up 2 ‘Super Tuesday’ games

By SCOTT DOCHTERMAN The Gazette

IOWA CITY — Fresh from its first NCAA tournament appearance in eight years, Iowa’s men’s basketball team will play in a pair of high-profile “Super Tuesday” games this season, the school announced today. ESPN will televise both games.

The Hawkeyes are slated to play at border rival Wisconsin at 8 p.m. Jan. 20.

The Badgers, a Final Four participant last year, have won the last three meetings and hold an 80-79 lead alltime. Wisconsin is ranked No. 4 by ESPN, while Iowa is No. 25.

Iowa will play at Indiana at 6 p.m. March 3. The Hawkeyes were scheduled to face the Hoosiers on “Super Tuesday” last year, but the game was postponed from Feb. 18 to Feb. 27 after a ceiling tile crashed to the floor at Assembly Hall.

The Hawkeyes played three games on “Super Tuesday” last year, including a pair at home. In Big Ten play, Iowa will face Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Northwestern and Ohio State twice. Iowa will travel to Michigan, Penn State, Indiana and Purdue and play host to Michigan State, Illinois and newcomers Maryland and Rutgers.

Non-league games The Big Ten slate is com-

plete and under review by the schools. It will be announced at a later date.

Iowa has yet to announce its non-conference schedule, but here’s a rundown of all but one non-conference game and three opponents: • Nov. 2 vs. Northwood, Mich. (exhibition) • Nov. 14/15/16/17 vs. two opponents as part of the Sports 2K Classic • Nov. 20 vs. Texas at New York City, 6 p.m.

(ESPN2) • Nov. 21 vs. Syracuse/ California at New York City, 4/6 p.m. (ESPNU/2) • Nov. 26 vs. Northern Illinois • Nov. 29 vs. Longwood • Dec. 3 at North Carolina, 6:30 p.m. (ESPN) • Dec. 6 vs. MarylandBaltimore County • Dec. 9 vs. Alcorn State • Dec. 12 vs. Iowa State • Dec. 20 vs. Northern Iowa at Des Moines (Big 4 Classic) • Dec. 22 vs. North Florida Iowa’s non-conference schedule features several top-tier opponents. Iowa State (28-8, RPI 9), Texas (24-11, RPI 31) and North Carolina (24-10, RPI 19) won at least one NCAA tournament game with Iowa State earning a Sweet Sixteen bid. Potential opponents Syracuse (28-6, RPI 14) won one NCAA tournament game, while

California (21-14, RPI 68) advanced to the NIT quarterfinals. Northern Iowa finished 16-15 with an RPI of 134.

Outside of Iowa State, Iowa’s home non-conference opponents are less accomplished. North Florida (16-16, RPI 200) posted a non-losing season, unlike Northern Illinois (15-17, RPI 201), Alcorn State (1219, RPI 308), MarylandBaltimore County (9-21, RPI 319) and Longwood (8-24, 341). Iowa is 6-0 against Northern Illinois, 1-0 against Maryland-Baltimore County and has not played Alcorn State, Longwood or North Florida.

Office Bldg., 502 East Ninth Street, Des Moines.

Recent lake and watershed restoration efforts to improve water quality have been very successful. Clear water is a benefit of improved water quality but may result in the growth of dense-rooted aquatic plants.

Dock permittees, faced with excessive growth of rooted aquatic plants around boat docks and in pathways to open water, have requested a streamlined process for removing such vegetation.

The proposal is intended to give dock permittees additional justification to remove aquatic vegetation without a permit, thereby eliminating the time it takes the DNR to review and issue permits and for dock permittees to remove the vegetation in a manner that does not harm water quality or aquatic life.

Any person may submit written suggestions or comments on the proposed amendments through Sept.

4, 2014. Such written material should be submitted to Martin Konrad, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, 502 East 9th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 503190034, fax 515-281-8895, or by email to Martin.Konrad@dnr.iowa.gov. Persons who have questions may contact Martin Konrad by email or by telephone at 515-281-6976.

Persons may present their views orally or in writing. At the hearing, persons will be asked to give their names and addresses for the record and to confine their remarks to the content of the proposed amendments.

Any persons who intend to attend the public hearing and have special requirements, such as those related to hearing or mobility impairments, should contact the DNR and request specific accommodations.

Fishing hearings The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has scheduled four public meetings to discuss proposed changes to the state fishing

regulations for 2015.

Hearings are scheduled for August 28, 7 p.m., at the DNR Wildlife Stations on Balsam Avenue, Ventura; Sept. 2, 6:30 p.m., at the Lewis and Clark State Park Visitor Center, 21914 Park Loop, Onawa; Sept. 3, 6:30 p.m., at the Dickinson County Nature Center, 2279 170th Street, Okoboji; and Sept. 4, 3 p.m., in the fourth floor conference room, Wallace State Office Bldg., 502 East Ninth Street, Des Moines.

The DNR is proposing a series of rule changes to make the regulations easier to understand, to protect lake improvements, remove duplicate language in the Iowa code and to enhance fishing opportunities.

Proposals include aligning the muskie season on Iowa’s border lakes with Minnesota with the Iowa Great Lakes’ season; modifying the fishing regulations on the IowaMinnesota border lakes to be more consistent with that of the Iowa Great Lakes; allowing the DNR to manage walleye populations in the same manner as it does bass by posting length limit signs at lakes, and removing Black Hawk Lake from the list of lakes that have additional restrictions for walleye fishing and replace the three walleye daily bag limit with a daily bag limit of five.

Other proposals include prohibiting snagging, bow and arrow, and spear fishing at certain Clear Lake and Lost Island Lake locations to protect the significant investment in lake improvements and for public safety at the Lower Gar Lake Outlet; removing hand fishing as a legal means of take for all rough fish; establishing a paddlefish season on the Missouri and Big Sioux rivers; and removing duplicate trotline or throw line language in the Iowa Adminis-

trative code.

At the hearing, persons will be asked to give their names and address for the record and to confine their remarks to the content of the proposed amendments.

Any persons who intend to attend the hearing and have special requirements, such as those related to hearing or mobility impairments, should contact the DNR and request specific accommodations.

Any person may submit written suggestions or comments on the proposed amendment through Sept.

4, 2014. Written materials should be addressed to Martin Konrad, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, 502 East Ninth Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50319-0034, by fax at 515-281-8895 or by email to martin.konrad@ dnr.iowa.gov.

Persons who have questions may contact Martin Konrad at 515-281-6976.

Urban hunt Bowhunters have removed more than 5,300 deer from Des Moines and the surrounding suburbs since 1997, when the cities joined in a deer reduction effort targeting does. Removing 5,300 deer may seem like a large number, the impact is exponentially greater as those deer are no longer producing fawns.

Original aerial surveys in 1998 recorded deer numbers as high as 200 per square mile and most of the survey areas had deer numbers above the goal of 30 deer per square mile.

The urban deer management program has lowered the deer population in most of the 20 survey areas. Today, more than half of the survey areas are below goal and only a few remain with very high density levels.

Now the means are in place to control deer numbers if and when citizens request their city take action.

“The program has been very successful where it has been implemented,” said Roger Jacobson, with the City of Johnston.

DNR searches for Iowa’s ugliest tackle box on Facebook DES MOINES — If the tackle box out in the garage is rusted through, busted up or has otherwise seen better days, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources wants to see it.

The DNR will accept photos of Iowa’s ugliest tackle boxes for a contest to run this August on Facebook, with the winner receiving a new tackle bag and lures courtesy of the Des Moines Chapter of the Izaak Walton League and Mid-Iowa Bassmasters.

Ugly tackle box photos can be submitted to photos@dnr.iowa.gov by Aug.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

SPEED FREAKS

HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ

Comeback kid

Questions we just had to ask — ourselves

All of Tony’s past storms now seem rather insignificant.

What happens to Stewart now?

Since there’s no template for this type of racing tragedy, there’s no way of knowing how this situation evolves.

We do know there’s absolutely nothing anyone can do to make it better. Over his career, Tony has always managed to plant himself in the middle of storms, often triggering them himself.

But nothing from his history compares to this. Not even close. It’s hard to imagine his life, much less his career, ever being the same.

Raise your hand if you had AJ in your office pool.

Is AJ the biggest Chase surprise?

Do we feel sorry for him?

GODSPEAK: I can’t call this an upset, but it was nice seeing a fresh face in Victory Lane.

KEN’S CALL: I’d rank him a bit more surprising than Aric Almirola, but the biggest shocks are those who’ll miss the Chase.

Don’t know. Nothing will allow us to hit the rewind button, put Kevin Ward Jr. back in his sprint car and make it all go away. The investigation will play out and maybe we’ll learn if there was anything Tony could’ve done to avoid it. Meanwhile, folks will continue to come to their own conclusions.

Watkins Glen’s future?

Watching Sunday’s battle for the win, some will suggest a road-course race — the Glen, particularly — should be in the Chase. But with the Chase now broken down into three threerace segments before the Homestead finale, a road race would make up one-third of a playoff segment and therefore give too much weight to a form of racing that’s not part of NASCAR’s DNA.

Should Watkins Glen be a Chase date?

GODSPEAK: Yes. It is one of the most entertaining races each season and should get the spotlight.

KEN’S CALL: In the new Chase format, probably not.

AJ may have been a little rusty on the victory celebration, but hey, it had been a while. try to understand what life is all about, because unfortunately, the sport will take over your life,” Allmendinger said, adding it was character-building to be “able to go through all that and come out the other side.”

AJ Allmendinger’s journey to racing redemption is complete after his carpe diem-style victory Sunday at Watkins Glen International.

Just over two years ago, Allmendinger’s racing career derailed after he was suspended by NASCAR for a substance abuse policy infraction.

Worse yet, it happened on the day of the 2012 Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway, which left Team Penske scrambling for a replacement driver for its No. 22 entry.

Roger Penske released Allmendinger several days later, and the young driver watched all that he worked for crumble under his feet.

After serving his NASCAR timeout, Allmendinger picked up a ride here and there to finish out the ’12 season, and then made 18 starts for two different teams in ’13.

Penske threw him some work, too, including a six-race IndyCar Series deal that included the Indianapolis 500 (he finished seventh), and two NASCAR Nationwide road-course starts.

Allmendinger won both of those events for “The Captain.”

By the end of 2013, Allmendinger had a deal with JTGDaugherty Racing, also known as the “little team that could.”

FEUD OF THE WEEK

EXTRA BAGGAGE ON BOARD

Associted Press/R BRENT SMITH

It was another sack of bad luck for Harvick.

JTG-Daugherty ended its go-italone mentality and aligned with Richard Childress Racing this season.

All the stars aligned Sunday.

Allmendinger won his first Sprint Cup race on his 213th attempt, got the No. 47 Chevrolet qualified for the Chase and will be part of the Sprint All-Star Race next year in Charlotte.

Daytona, July 7, 2012 seems like a long time ago after Allmendinger’s first visit to Sprint Cup Victory Lane.

“Over the course of what happened, it made me become a better person and just really

Kevin Harvick had to make an unscheduled pit stop at the start of Sunday’s race when he found a canvas bag under the seat of his car. “(NASCAR) weighs the car with the actual driver weight in there,” Harvick said. “The bag just got left in there, and I spent a couple of laps trying to get it positioned off to the left.”

Instead, it ended up under his feet. “I had to come in and get the bag out,” Harvick said.

Harvick finished seventh after the excess baggage was removed.

Winner: Greg Biffle Rest of the top five: Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne, Clint Bowyer, Matt Kenseth Dark horse: Marcos Ambrose

AJ ALLMENDINGER

Marcos Ambrose vs. AJ Allmendinger: Let’s call this a “friendly feud” because the two scratched and clawed each other for the win at The Glen.

Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Both knew winning Sunday’s race would be their best (only?) chance to make the Chase and raced accordingly.”

ANOTHER MAJOR CRASH Michael McDowell doesn’t crash small. He does it on a grand scale. His No. 95 Ford was spun like a top before it smacked and tore down a fence Sunday.

McDowell completely destroyed a car at Texas during qualifying in 2008.

“I thank the good Lord above,” he said Sunday. “That was a bad wreck. It seems when I do it, they are usually fairly big.”

‘No reason’ for race fatality, says father of Kevin Ward Jr.

By JIM PELTZ

Los Angeles Times

The father of the sprintcar racer struck and killed

by Tony Stewart’s car over the weekend told the Syracuse (N.Y.) Post-Standard on Tuesday that “there’s no reason” for the fatal incident.

Kevin Ward Jr., 20, died Saturday night during a race at the Canandaigua Motorsports Park dirt track in upstate New York.

Racing side-by-side with Stewart, the NASCAR champion, Ward hit the outside wall and crashed, bringing out the caution period that slowed the cars.

Ward then climbed from his car, stepped on the track and apparently was angrily gesturing toward Stewart as the cars circled back around when Stewart’s car hit him.

“I think the reason he got out of that car is who put him into the wall,” Kevin Ward Sr. told the Syracuse

“Tony Stewart was the best damn driver by far on the track that night,” Kevin Ward Sr. continued. “Why he had to go up as high as he did (on the track) and hog my son, there’s no reason for it.”

The unit was used during the June graduation, which is typically the biggest ceremony.

While this summer has been unique in the fact it has remained cool, the unit still helped keep the gym comfortable for more than 2,500 in attendance.

“The gym is a big area to air condition, so we won’t be running it much,” Lesan said. “But for the big events we will use it.”

Adding air conditioning to the gym was on the fiveyear facility plan, slated for 2017. Lesan said it was a nice surprise to find the unit already had the capacity to

get the project done early.

In other news The SWCC Board of Directors approved contracts for Pedro Hernandez and Rumy Kabir.

Hernandez was recently hired as the new baseball coach and will now replace M i k e Holmes as the Hernandez physical education instructor.

Kabir is transitioning from his role as an Kabir

administrative software system manager at SWCC to replace Loyal Winborn as the information technology systems networking instructor.

The board also regretfully accepted the resignation of nursing instructor Amanda Mohr.

She has worked out the details to transition out of this position because school is starting so soon.
