NCSD board approves slightly lower tax levy

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton Community School District Transportation Supervisor Curt Roorda describes elements of the district’s new bus routes at Monday’s Newton Board of Education meeting. Roorda was part of a full slate of discussion and actions at the meeting, which featured approval of the 2016-17 budget.

Rate of $15.76 per $1,0000 of property valuation approved

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Taxes will be raised for property owners in the Newton Community School District — though not quite as high as recently proposed.

The NCSD Board of Education voted 6-1 to approve a 2016-17 overall budget at Monday night’s regular meeting, including a property tax levy rate of $15.76 per $1,000 of valuation. A tax rate of $15.99 had been approved

by the board at its March 28 meeting as a budget number to publish in the Newton Daily News in advance of its budget hearing, per state law.

Donna Cook was the lone “no” vote on the budget. Iowa districts are

required to submit a balanced budget to state officials by Friday.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan pointed out the levy will be at a lower rate than several other area school districts, including Baxter and Colfax-Mingo, and lower than when the district passed its last bond issue in 2007. The 23-cent reduction was LEVY | 3A

Amanda and husband Jeff, branch manager of Great Western Bank, have two children Ella and Jackson. They enjoy traveling as a family and love having extended family close to home.

Price will begin her active duty as executive director on May 1.

Probation sentence issued in sex abuse case

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News A Sioux City man accused of sexually abusing a 12-year-old Newton girl was sentenced to three years of probation Monday.

Bradly Delk, 20, was charged with third-degree sexual abuse in August 2014 following an investigation by the Newton Police Department. As part of a plea agreement, he pleaded guilty to lascivious acts with a child, a Class D felony.

According to court records, the victim said Delk Delk sexually assaulted her in her home in September 2013 while he was staying the night.

District Court Judge Gregory A. Hulse sentenced Delk to a five year suspended prison sentence and three years of probation. Delk is required to successfully complete a sexual offender treatment program and pay court fines, costs and damages to the victim.

Delk addressed the court briefly apologizing to the court and to the family of the victim.

“I know I was wrong,” he said. “... I’m sincerely sorry.”

The victim didn’t attend the sentencing, but Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen read aloud a victim impact statement to the court prior to the sentencing.

She wrote she suffered from depression and felt her innocence had been taken away at age 12, “all because he couldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer.”

Hulse said he considered Delk’s age at the time of the offense, lack of prior record, employment and family circumstances is determining the probation sentence.

Downtown micro-grants coming soon

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A micro-grant program is being proposed for the downtown business district. The program will give downtown business owners the opportunity to improve the outside aesthetics in accordance with the Newton Downtown Historic District design guidelines.

“Last June when the city bonded we included a line item of $100,000 for downtown facade improvement.

With that $100,000 we have formed the basis for a micro-grant program,” director of planning and zoning Erin Chambers

said. “A micro-grant is small grant amounts to be spread throughout the district for immediate improvements within the downtown.”

The grant program is being established to continue to the work of Newton’s Action Plan in focusing on curb appeal and supporting the downtown’s role as the heart of the community. The program can encourage property owners to reinvest in their property and complete projects in accordance with the downtown design guidelines.

“A well-kept, historic downtown area will create a sense of place that will support the contin-

ued effort to grow the tourism sector of the local economy,” Chambers said.

Aspects of business fronts that will be targeted for the use of the initial $100,000 are signage, non-historic facade removal, rehabilitation of historic facade, painting or paint removal, new awning or awning removal and architectural fees that can go towards for a large project.

“Oftentimes the larger projects that are eligible for tax credits do require an architect’s involvement. Sometimes that is a hurdle or barrier for property owners MICRO-GRANT | 3A

DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented recently on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“Some farmers have been able to get a start of spring field work, but it is quite limited due to the wet conditions. We are probably still a week or two away from widespread planting and will need some warm, dry weather beforehand famers are able to get started statewide,” Northey said. “It is an exciting time on the farm as farmers are looking forward to the new growing season.”

The report summary follows here: Cool temperatures and rain hampered field work during the week ending April 3, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 2.3 days suitable for fieldwork. Producers continued to apply dry fertilizer, manure, and anhydrous when able.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 1 percent short, 81 percent adequate and 18 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 1 percent short, 86 percent adequate and 13 percent surplus. Northwest Iowa reported the highest surplus subsoil moisture level at 26 percent, with standing water in some low areas.

Thirteen percent of oats have been planted, equal to last year’s progress, but 3 days behind the five-year average.

Pasture condition rated 1 percent very poor, 6 percent poor, 38 percent fair, 49 percent good and 6 percent excellent. Pastures were starting to green but reporters haven’t seen much growth yet. Livestock conditions were described as normal for the week. Calving and lambing activities were on-going.

$31,200 up for grabs in Main Street’s Open 4 Business contest Newton Daily News Main Street Iowa has announced its second annual Open 4 Business contest, a business plan contest for startups or expansions in Main Street districts across the state.

A group of Newton entities that support small business development have teamed up to sponsor a local component to the contest.

The local winner collects a prize package valued at $3,200 and qualifies for regional competition. Regional winners move on to state. Prize money for the three levels of competition totals $31,200.

“We are excited by the opportunity this contest affords our local businesses,” Don Poynter, chair of the Newton Main Street Economic Restructuring committee said.

“This year we’ve increased the local prize to provide a real incentive, and there’s plenty of

lead time so participants can turn dreams into actual business plans.”

For the local contest, the cash award totals $1,500.

Sponsors contributing to the cash award include Advantage Credit Union, Bank Iowa, Edward Jones Investments, US Bank and Newton Main Street.

In-kind services for the local contest, valued at $1,700, feature advertising from the Newton Daily News, KCOB/ Energy 106.7, and the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce, along with signage from Sign Pro and a one-year membership to the Chamber of Commerce.

Winners of the regional contests, held from June 1316, each take home $8,000.

The winner of the state contest, on Aug. 2 in Mason City during the Iowa Downtown Conference, receives an additional $20,000.

A cash match by the contestant of 25 percent of the prize money at each level of competition is required.

To enter, contestants must complete a paper entry form and submit it to Newton Main Street. Contestants also must make a 15-minute pitch to the panel of judges. Pitches are scheduled from May 11-May 18.

Each of the 52 Main Street programs in Iowa is allowed one entry in the regional competition. Only businesses located in the Main Street districts can qualify.

Eligible expenses for the award include equipment, marketing, inventory, and more. The award cannot be used day-to-day expenses such as salaries, utilities, or major building renovations.

Awards are made on a reimbursement basis.

Entries should fill a gap in the Newton Main Street Dis-

“Looking at the Little Hawkeye Conference alone, we rank real close to the middle,” Callaghan said. “We feel we can meet expenses, serve students well and still complete projects without this tax.”

The third-year superintendent also said the budget is the largest he’s seen so far in terms of total dollars moving. The total expenditures are about $38.5 million, or about $500,000 less than 2015-16, and revenue is about $2 million greater at about $39 million.

The other main item at Monday’s three-hour meeting was a discussion about busing. Transportation Supervisor Curt Roorda detailed some of the puzzle of putting together the 21 bus routes that will, in part, get stu-

The architectural fees can only be awarded once.

“Often architectural fees are based on project costs and in talking to area architects, they would look at the overall scope of work and what the project might be and base their fee on that,” Chambers said.

To distribute the funds, a grant review board will be established by the city council.

Chambers recommends that the board consist of a combination of historic preservation commissioners and Newton Main Street design committee volunteers.

• Chose Manatts over Rochon Company as the bidder for repaving of the parking lot of the new administration building’s remodeling project.

Manatts bid of $148,000 was about $90,000 less than Rochon; Callaghan said he has been very pleased with work done over the past few years

To the play place we will go With a remodel currently taking place in our house, the girls and myself find ourselves out and about to give my husband undisturbed time to work. That was true once again this past weekend when the girls and I landed in an area I try to avoid — mall play places.

The overall idea behind the play places are great. An enclosed area for kids to run around and blow off some steam after shopping with their parents all day.

In reality, seemingly hundreds of

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson kids running, screaming, climbing and constantly colliding with each other. OK, so it isn’t really hundreds, but when we walked up to the play area at Jordan Creek Mall, I immediately regretted my decision.

The area was more crowded than normal, with 50 plus kids along with dozens of parents standing around watching. After removing the girls’ shoes, they were off and out of sight within moments.

I don’t think of myself as a complete control freak, but I am a little more on the cautious side and like to be able

to see my kids. I know the reality of someone running off with my child is slim, but it exists and is ever present in my mind.

Not long into their play time, my oldest runs over and tells me she wants to take her socks off. I look around to see plenty of kids with no socks, but knowing what could live in the carpeting lining the area, I say no.

She immediately breaks down, explaining how she can’t climb properly and that everyone else is doing it. I stick to my guns and send her back into the crowd sobbing and still wearing socks.

Not five minutes later, my youngest comes over to ask the same thing, receiving the same answer. Her reaction was polar opposite, and she just ran back out and continued playing.

After what felt like an eternity to me

but in reality only about a half hour, it was time to move on to our next destination. I knew I was in for a fight, but it never really gets easier dealing with a child throwing a fit in public.

My oldest put up a small fight but for the most part cooperated. My youngest immediately threw herself on the ground and said she would not leave.

Knowing that strategy wasn’t actually going to work for her after I threw her “the look,” she got up, pouting the entire way out.

I know we will go back to the play places at each of the malls and each time the girls will love it and I will be a nervous wreck. Wish me luck over the next several weeks because we still have texturizing, painting and flooring to get done in the house.

Candidates walk into a bar As someone who tended bar for a while back in graduate school, I not only believe alcohol reveals character, I believe drinking alcohol in public reveals character publicly.

So, as I contemplate the cast of characters running for president, I wonder what they might be like as bar patrons.

Donald Trump. Drinks top-shelf liquor. Tips well, but you have to listen to him tell you about how good his business is doing, how rich he is, how hot his wife is, how well he plays golf and how he got the better of everyone who ever tried to “screw” him.

Bernie Sanders. Cheap draft beer. Never buys a round. Asks you if you’re in a union. Complains about the prices. Eats three bowls of the free popcorn. No tip. Tries to bond with construction workers at the bar, but they ignore him.

Hillary Clinton. White wine. Average tip. After three drinks, she cries and tells you about her husband’s infidelities. After four, will go home with anyone.

Carly Fiorina. Light beer. Decent tip. Says nothing. Leaves alone. No one notices.

John Kasich. Comes in. Has one beer. Leaves without telling anyone. Comes back. Has another beer. Tips with change, but it adds up to a couple bucks.

Jeb Bush. Good bourbon. Hits on the prettiest girl in the place. Gets shot down. Calls his dad for a ride home. He doesn’t tip, but when his dad shows up, he gives you $5 for taking care of his son.

Marco Rubio. After one martini, he tells you his immigrant father was a bartender. After two martinis, he tells you his immigrant father was a bartender. After three martinis, he tells you his immigrant father was a bartender. You don’t care what he tips.

You just want him to stop talking.

Ted Cruz. Tells you his evangelical faith is opposed to alcohol. Drinks straight tequila. Makes a grab for the waitress. No tip because you throw him out. Beaten badly in the parking lot by the waitress’s boyfriend.

At the end of the night, you count your tip money. The $100 bill Trump gave you really made the night for you. Still, you hope he doesn’t come back.

Five minutes till closing, Barack Obama walks in, sits at the bar, lights a cigarette. Plays “Stormy Monday” on the jukebox.

“Have I got time for one, Chief?” he asks you.

“Yeah,” you say.

You pour him one and one for yourself.

“You know,” you say. “It might be time for me to find something else. This place is much weirder than it was when I started and that’s not even 10 years ago.”

“Tell me about it,” he says.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Helping Iowa’s veterans The Senate unanimously passed a bill Wednesday to help our state’s veterans find jobs and give them the resources they need to be successful once they come home.

Veterans are currently entitled to preference over others in hiring for many public sector jobs. This bill, HF 2415, creates veterans preference clearinghouse established at Workforce Development for the purpose of providing information regarding the preference. The department is to work with the attorney general regarding information on enforcement of the preference.

The department, the attorney general, and the Department of Veterans Affairs are all to provide information regarding the preference on their websites.

This would give veterans a central place to get the information they need on job openings

Kelley supports Medicaid oversight Gov. Terry Branstad’s plan to privatize Medicaid is a mess. I’m thankful our State Rep. Dan Kelley has stood up to the governor and fought to stop his terrible plan every step of the way. Dan listens to his constituents and knows there is still too much confusion and many people still don’t know if they’ll get the same level of care they’ve received in the past. That’s why Dan supports strong legislative oversight of the governor’s privatization plan to make sure no one falls through the cracks.

The bill expands the definition of stalking to include by electronic means and includes conduct that would make person feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated or threatened of bodily injury or death. Current law only requires a person to fear injury or death. Victims of this kind of stalking now have means to protect themselves from a prevalent

Politics, religion and pipe dreams The whole world is a stage of insanity when it comes to politics, religions and even at times soul mates like a man and a woman who live together for a time discovering reasons to hate each other to the point of killing.

Governments in my opinion are similar to marriages, (party) divorces and those within it having affairs outside of their marriages (parties).

And yes even to the point of murder.

After most fights they kiss and make up, or it at least appears so.

Religions, I found do demand certain things from their flocks, I personally like the demand “Love one another the way I have loved you.” Yet histories tell me genocides have most certainly played a huge part of eliminating many religions and societies.

In my opinion, we need our politicians, government bodies, marriages and religions but I do find some are really screwed up, sick and

modern problem.

The bill makes an unauthorized placing of a GPS, meaning a device with the intent to intimidate, annoy or alarm another person, a serious misdemeanor. It also requires at least 20 to 50 percent for mandatory time served depending on the specific crime and the specific number or prior convictions and expands the definition of domestic abuse assault to include those who have been in an intimate relationship that includes contact within the past year.

Thursday was home school day on the hill. I met with several families in the district who have chosen to provide for their children’s education in a home setting. Approximately 14,000 K-12 Iowa children are educated through home schooling.

greedy people in all of them. I, of course, have always followed a path of no errors. (Hmmm) Which reminds me, I am thinking about getting a dog that will love me and I him or her, but just as sure as I have a belly-button, he or she will no doubt go to the bathroom on my floor a few times and I might just let his or her water and food dish run dry. (The baths will always happen.)

At the end of my rant I say this; Would it not be nice if everyone, every government and every religion would care about one another to live and let live in peace. That, my friends I believe to be a pipe dream, but it would be nice.

One thing that is possible in my opinion is this, each of us can try to be the best person possible and hope that others will follow. In the meantime, we must defend ourselves from those that would like to see us controlled, enslaved or dead.

I am not telling it the way it is. I am telling you how I perceive it to be.

Revenge after breakup should be put on hold DEAR ABBY: Recently a guy I’ve known for more than a year decided it would be best for us to part ways. Before Christmas, I had asked what he would like for Christmas. His response was, “I don’t want anything for Christmas — I want you.”

A couple of weeks later, he told me the pictures, nightstand, candy dishes and candleholders he had in my apartment were gifts from him because he loved me. Tonight, he packed everything up and left! I don’t know exactly why, but I think it has more to do with his own issues than about me.

Abby, I feel I have been manipulated and used. Ironically, this man I thought was a friend is a psychotherapist. While we were together, he would discuss confidential information about some of his clients with me. I think I should report him, but on the other hand, I’m asking myself whether I’m only looking for revenge.

Should I leave it alone, or report him to the American Psychological Association? Or am I overreacting to losing him? I still feel really mixed up. — VENGEFUL IN MINNESOTA DEAR VENGEFUL: Psychotherapists are not gods, and like other human beings, they can have their flaws. I understand why you would be hurt and disappointed.

However, rather than look for revenge, you should consider yourself lucky you didn’t invest more time in this flake.

As to whether you should report his breach of professional ethics to the APA, I think that for the sake of the patients/clients whose trust he has betrayed, you should do exactly that — but after your anger is no longer raging.

DEAR ABBY: I’m wondering if I have an issue or if what concerns me is fairly normal. I am 31 years old and have three daughters, two stepsons, an ex-wife and one current wife.

I have been asked most of my adult life, as I’m sure most people have, “Where do you see yourself in five years? Ten years?” For some reason, I can’t figure out how to answer this question. There are many variables at play, and many lives would be affected by my pursuing what I want in five to 10 years. I can’t say I’m going to be “here doing this in five years” because I have no idea what might change.

Do I need professional help? It upsets my wife when she wants to talk about the future and I can’t give her an answer. — CONFUSED ABOUT THE FUTURE DEAR CONFUSED: Some people use the question of “where will you be ...” as a method of setting goals. What your wife may really be asking is, “Are you satisfied with things as they are now, and if not, what changes do you intend to make?” If that’s the case, it might be illuminating to ask her what changes she would LIKE you to make.

Couple faces child endangerment, drug charges

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Newton Daily News A sentencing hearing for a Newton man facing a child neglect charge was postponed Monday.

Sen. Bill Dotzler, D-Waterloo, said the department is misinterpreting the intended scope of a project involving more than 300 battle flags stored at the state historical museum in downtown Des Moines. He plans to propose language in a budget bill that would require the department to keep restoring the flags.

Department officials told

Dotzler that work on the flags — which include flags from the Civil War, Spanish American War, and World War I, among others — is finished and that the agency no longer needs the roughly $94,000 a year it had recently received from the Legislature to restore them.

“I absolutely do not believe what they’re saying,” said

Dotzler, who is chairman of the subcommittee that approves funding for the agency.

“They’re 100 percent wrong.”

Department spokesman Jeff Morgan said the project’s original goal was to “stabilize” the flags — a process that involves removing them from unsecure locations, keeping them flat and maintaining their current condition.

DONNA LEE MARSHALL | AGE: 37 | DIED: JANUARY 8, 1996 Hometown: Iowa City On Monday, January 8, 1996, Donna Lee Marshall was found in her southeast side Iowa City mobile home with a gunshot wound to the head.

A search of the mobile home — located at Lot 99 in the Bon-Aire Mobile Home Lodge — yielded mostly prescription drugs and paperwork pertaining to child custody. Authorities searched both the mobile home and two cars that were parked there. Investigators also took some child custody documents addressed to Marshall and letters from the state child support recovery unit addressed to Matthess.

When Marshall divorced Scott Sweeting in 1989, Marshall was awarded custody of Tiffany. Sweeting was granted visitation rights, but divorce proceedings on le with the clerk of court showed Sweeting petitioned the court in 1992 to grant full custody to him. No nal ruling had been made at the time of Marshall’s murder.

Newton girls’ golf opens season on solid note

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News URBANDALE — Play competitively and learn was the plan for Newton High’s girls in their 2016 season opening golf competition. The Cardinals claimed second at Monday’s Urbandale Invitational.

Newton combined for a team score of 209 on the par37 Urbandale Golf and Country Club course. Johnston won the nine-hole tournament with a 199 four-player total and West Des Moines Valley finished third with a 219.

Ankeny was fourth with a

247 total followed by Urbandale with a 267 and Ames with a 282.

“Considering the blustery conditions, we’ll take the 209 and second place today,” Newton head coach Scott Enyart said. “We went into this meet focused on playing competitively and learn where we are.

Our players each learned a lot about their games today and how we can improve going forward in the season.”

Senior Jessica Reynolds led the Cardinals with a 49, which put her in a tie for third place.

She won the card playoff, and she earned the third-place med-

al.

E n y a r t said Reynolds opened and closed the tournament with pars on holes No. 1 and No. 9. She had a great tee shot on the J. Reynolds par-4 No. 1 and made a nice approach shot to the par-3 No. 9 to two-putt for the par, he said.

Senior Emily Fitzgerald came up one spot out of the medals, finishing sixth with a 51. Enyart said Fitzgerald began the day a

bit nervous but settled in after the first three holes.

“Emily played her game the rest of the way and had a consistent round of gold. She had a tap-in putt for par on No. 9 and finished with a bogey on the long, difficult par-5 No. 2,” Enyart said.

Junior Lizzy Coyle responded well in her first official varsity meet. She hit a solid 53 for the nine holes.

Enyart said she was able to chip in from 20 yards from the green on No. 8 for a birdie.

Also playing her first varsity meet was freshman Aleyna Reynolds. She notched a bird-

ie on her first hole of the meet — the par-3 No. 9 — as her first shot stayed out of the water hazard by two feet and her second shot went in the hole.

She finished with a 56.

Senior Jessie Smith finished with a 62 and sophomore Taylor Dydell had a 70.

“This was a good first meet for us,” Enyart said.

PCM girls track finishes fourth at Norwalk Coed Relays

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News NORWALK — Competing as the smallest school in the field, the Prairie City-Monroe girls’ track team more than held its own in the Norwalk Coed Relays on Monday night.

The Mustangs won two events, had seven top-four finishes and placed fourth as a team in the eightteam field.

Vos Jayci Vos won the 400-meter hurdles and the Mustangs’ distance medley team also claimed a gold medal. PCM scored 82 points on the night, which was one point better than host and Class 3A Norwalk.

“We had a good Stafford night,” PCM coach Lindsey Cunningham said. “As a team, we were able to place in almost every event, and there were several events where we placed two girls.”

Dallas Center-Grimes won the meet with 143 points, while South Tama County was second with 116.

Grinnell was third with 104. Winterset (80), Knoxville (72) and Nevada (60) rounded out the field.

Vos’ winning time in the 400 hurdles was 1 minute, 8.97 seconds. She led off the 4x400 relay team that took second, too. That foursome, which

also included senior Ashley Van Gorp, freshman Payton Schut and junior Rachel Stafford crossed the finish line in 4:26.03.

Stafford also anchored the distance medley team that won the gold. That group included freshman Delaney Clarke, senior Emily Hugen and freshman Morgan Uhlenhopp, and they finished in 4:40.72.

Stafford also placed second in the 800, Van Gorp was third in the long jump and Schut finished fourth in the 1,500.

Stafford’s 800 time was clocked at 2:34.25, Van Gorp’s best leap in the long jump was 14 feet, 7 3/4 inches and Schut stopped the clock at 5:30.84 in the 1,500.

The 4x200 relay team brought back a fourth-place finish. That unit included Vos, Hugen, Tatum Nearmyer and Van Gorp, and they crossed the line in 1:54.31.

The other top-four finish came from freshman Maddie Samson, who placed fourth in the shot put with a toss of 33-4 1/2.

“The girls showed a lot of heart at the end of races, fighting for places, which is where we earned our fourth-place finish,” Cunningham said. “We had some girls that made great strides in improving their times from our Centerville meet earlier this season. The girls have been working really hard in practice and setting goals, which showed tonight.”

The Mustangs compete at Guthrie Center on Thursday.

Astros take opener from Royals HOUSTON (AP) — Collin McHugh bounced back from the shortest start of his career by pitching seven scoreless innings and Colby Rasmus hit a two-run homer as Houston won its home opener over Kansas City.

Carlos Correa had three hits and two RBIs for Houston, Jose Altuve had three hits and rookie Tyler White added a pair of hits for his fourth multi-hit game this year.

McHugh (1-1) allowed eight hits and struck out four to bounce back from his last start, in which he allowed six runs and walked two in 1/3 inning of a 16-6 loss to the Yankees.

After what happened in his first start, McHugh felt much better on Monday night.

“I was focused on getting through that first inning today,” McHugh said.

“Once we got through that it was just kind of just go after them the rest of the game.”

Chris Young (0-2) allowed nine hits and six runs in 4 2/3 innings.

The Astros jumped on him early and were up by one in the first after an RBI double by Correa when Rasmus launched a towering shot to the second deck in right field to make it 3-0.

Eric Hosmer had three hits for the Royals.

Curry leading Golden State Warriors in historical NBA run OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — For years, Stephen Curry watched his dad, Dell, do his part in the community. Curry was often among those children in Charlotte treated to special appearances from star athletes and still cherishes those sweet memories.

“That’s how I grew up,” Curry said. “I was blessed to see my dad and how he interacted with kids my age at the time. He was going to youth camps and different school events. I know how happy me and my friends were at that age to see somebody we looked up to come and spend some time. I don’t want to take those opportunities for granted, no matter what the schedule is, or what’s going on outside of that event.

That’s a time for them.”

Even in the middle of Golden State’s special season and quest for the NBA wins record, which Curry and the Warriors (72-9) will try to accomplish in the regular-season finale Wednesday night against Memphis by topping the 72-win Chicago Bulls of 1995-96.

So, on a rainy Tuesday last month when he had the day off, Curry spent several hours at Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School. He spoke to the kids about the importance of drinking water, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, making the right choices and going to college.

This is normal for Curry, even a day after becoming the first player in NBA history to make 300 3-pointers in a season and less than 24 hours after defending champion Golden State set yet another record in a season full of them — this time for the best regular-season home winning streak ever at 45 games.

In the middle of playing five games in seven days, no less.

Curry won the NBA “Sea-

s o n l o n g C o m mu n i t y Assist Award” for 2013-14 and is a regular participant for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Not to mention that for Curry every 3-pointer he makes Curry donates three bed nets to fight Malaria through Nothing But Nets. He has an NBA-record 392 3s so far this season.

Hat on backward and wearing a big smile that afternoon in inner-city Oakland, the reigning NBA MVP — likely headed for another such honor — pumped his right fist when someone gave a good answer to a trivia question, he waved and high-fived while making his entrance, and even chanted along when appropriate.

Sometimes, the Warriors worry just a bit about their do-everything point guard overextending himself.

“It doesn’t surprise me,” coach Steve Kerr said. “He genuinely cares. Sometimes he does too much stuff, we try to pull him back, pull the reins back because everyone wants a piece of him and he has a hard time saying no.”

Among giggling, giddy children, Curry is clearly in his other element, off the basketball floor where he is the most dynamic player now and in recent memory.

Even if all those old greats out there want to knock him down a notch, knock his game, or the overall style of play of the Warriors and others in this era of the NBA. The scrutiny is part of it, Curry insists. It means he’s doing something special.

“When it’s talking just about basketball, I know any

time there’s a successful player or team, they’re going to have more of a spotlight, and people are going to ask questions about whoever it is,” Curry said. “This day and age, you say something controversial and it’s going to hit the airways pretty quick. When there are legends and people that I looked up to as a player — as a young kid, as a basketball player — Hall of Famers and guys that talk about our team, it means that obviously we’re doing something good so we keep doing it. I take it with a grain of salt. Unless they’re in the room with me and we’re talking back and forth about what’s going on, then I don’t put too much weight into it.”

Especially considering everybody wants to be like Steph. Remember when it was “Be Like Mike?” (Michael Jordan, that is).

“It’s so interesting when they talk about creating a simulator to duplicate what Steph Curry does on the court and the simulator can’t measure up because it just doesn’t look real,” Hall of Famer Julius Erving said. “That’s what he’s been doing on the court, things that really don’t look real to the normal eye, and you have to give him kudos for that.”

Sure, Curry sometimes gets tired from all of the fanfare and the NBA grind. Not to mention the typical lack of sleep for a father with two young girls.

“The schedule’s crazy and obviously we’re right in the middle of the season, so there are times where you might wake up and not want to get out of bed or whatever, but it is helpful to remember how I felt as a kid and the stuff my dad taught me, and be reminded the importance of the stage and the platform we have,” he said. “I want to use it.”

Slaying of former Saints player resonates in city he loved NEW ORLEANS (AP) — People across Louisiana sought to process the news that one of the Saints’ muchloved players, former defensive end Will Smith, was shot in the back Saturday night in what police called a deadly act of road rage.

Smith, 34, arrived in New Orleans in 2004 as a No. 1 draft pick and played with such passion and power that he quickly became a defensive captain. Off the field, he won hearts in his adopted city, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and rejuvenated when the Saints won the Super Bowl in 2009.

“I am telling you that this man loved the city of New

O r l e a n s ,” said Terrell Haynes, who got to know Smith and his wife Racquel through their work with Kingsley House, Smith an organization helping underprivileged families and kids. “That’s the part that is really disheartening, that this man loved this city.”

Police said Cardell Hayes, a former semi-pro football player, rear-ended Smith’s Mercedes G63 with his Humvee H2, pushing Smith’s big, blocky SUV into a Chevrolet Impala

ments are not abundant for you, why not? Today is a fine time to turn the trend around.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Life will make you change for the better, and there’s nothing you need to do about that now.

Just relax and believe. If you can’t believe, that’s fine, too, but you’ll be more comfortable if you at least relax.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Those who know you well are expecting you to succeed, and so are those who don’t know you. That’s because success is your vibe these days! Anyone who isn’t rooting for you in an obvious way doesn’t belong on your team.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your perfect blend is out there. When the music of your thoughts mixes with the music of a compatible individual’s thoughts, the result will be a beautiful, layered symphony you both can dance to.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Stressful moments have a way of constricting your creativity and thought processes. Laughter is an experience of opening up and getting everything flowing again.

You’ll be at your best when you keep looking for the humor.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Maybe it sounds a little harsh, but the fact is that some people in your life nourish you while others deplete you. Recognize this reality and plan your day

accordingly to stay buoyant.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Take a moment to gently acknowledge the feeling you’re having; it’s human. You’re not the only one. Whatever you feel, it’s acceptable. Does that help you soften into the moment instead of resisting it?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Address the concerns you have about your image. It’s not selfish to want to put your best foot forward. This is the moment to nip a problem in the bud or make an easy improvement.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You get to decide just how close you want people to be to you. Sure, they may have their own ideas, and there is a bit of

negotiating to do (most of it informal and implied), but ultimately you’re in charge. Don’t forget that!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

For moments it will be as though your ordinary mind and sense of personal identity have dissolved into a dream. The question is: How much of this dream are you able to influence? Test it out.

Assert yourself and see.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You didn’t go wrong; you went right. Anyway, it’s best not to think about it now. This is different from the original plan, but assume that it’s different in a good way and move forward.

Spots on U.S. wrestling team filled for Rio Olympics IOWA CITY (AP) — Jordan Burroughs’ wife, Lauren, wrote him a note before his Olympic Team Trials match on Sunday telling him he was destined for greatness.

Burroughs made sure his wife was the first person he thanked after securing his spot in the Rio Games.

Burroughs, a threetime world champion and a defending Olympic gold medalist, rolled past Andrew Howe 9-3 and 10-0 in a best-ofthree finals series.

Burroughs, considered by many as the best pound-for-pound freestyle wrestler in the world, will be a heavy favorite to repeat as an Olympic champion in the 74-kilogram class in August.

Burroughs celebrated by embracing his family in the stands and flipping his singlet into the crowd.

“The difference between legends and just great athletes is consistency. I really prepare for these moments,” Burroughs said.

Twenty-year-old Kyle Snyder, the youngest world champion in U.S. history, qualified for his first Olympics at 97 kilograms. Snyder beat Jake Varner, the 2012 London Games gold medalist, 4-4, 4-0 and 6-1.

Women’s 75-kilogram freestyle star Adeline Gray, a three-time world

champion, also is headed to Rio after beating Victoria Francis 11-0 and 10-0.

Daniel Dennis (57 kilograms, freestyle), Andy Bisek (75 kilograms, Greco-Roman) and Robby Smith (heavyweight, Greco-Roman) clinched Olympic bids as well Sunday.

But perhaps only Gray was as impressive as Burroughs, whose unique blend of quickness, athleticism and balance led to a dominant finals performance capped when he won his

second match in just 86 seconds.

Burroughs, who was single when he captured his first Olympic title in London four years ago, held year-old son Beacon in his arms after the match and asked him if he wanted pizza.

Dad had a feast planned as well, having already scouted out a 24-hour doughnut shop in Iowa City for a latenight celebration.

“It’s changed everything, but it’s changed nothing,” Burroughs said about becoming a father. “The approach

has always been to be the best in the world, one of the best ever.”

Snyder’s stunning run to a world title last summer in Las Vegas served notice that he might join Burroughs as America’s next major wrestling star. Snyder only added to his growing legend by winning the most recent NCAA heavyweight title for Ohio State despite giving up about 40 pounds to his opponent.

Varner, 30, won the first match on criteria after posting two takedowns. But the younger Snyder wore Varner

down over the final two matches, outscoring Varner 10-1 in their final two matches.

“I watched the 2012 Olympics and I was like ‘Shoot. If I want to make the Olympics I have to be that guy,’” said Snyder, then just 16. “When you’ve got somebody like that in your class you have to train as hard as you possibly can.”

Gray has been touted for years as America’s best chance for its first women’s Olympic gold medal. She was by far the class of the women’s freestyle division, win-

NHL playoffs set to start Wednesday

By John Wawrow The Associated Press The New York Islanders will open the playoffs at the Florida Panthers, and that means Henrik Lundqvist and the New York Rangers will face Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins for the third consecutive year.

The Eastern Conference playoffs were settled Sunday night with the Islanders’ 5-2 loss to Philadelphia. The Islanders are seeded seventh and will take on the Atlantic Division champion Panthers starting Thursday night. The Rangers stayed in third in the Metropolitan Division, and will face the second-place Penguins on Wednesday night.

In the Western Conference, the Anaheim Ducks vaulted ahead of Los Angeles to clinch their fourth consecutive Pacific Division title with a 2-0 win at Washington. The Ducks will open the postseason on Friday night against seventh-seeded Nashville. The Kings dropped to second in the Pacific and will face third-place San Jose in a series starting Thursday night.

Both games played Sunday night were rescheduled because of snowstorms, extending the NHL’s regular season by a day.

The other playoff matchups were already set.

Alex Ovechkin and the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Capitals will open against Philadelphia on Thursday.

The Flyers closed the season with a 15-6-2 run in which they passed four teams in the standings and clinched their playoff berth with a 3-1 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.

The Capitals coasted into the postseason, closing with a 3-3-3 record. The record didn’t bother coach Barry Trotz, who rested numerous regulars, including Ovechkin and goalie Braden Holtby,

against Anaheim.

“There’s a lot of great reasons to feel good about going into the playoffs right now,” said Trotz, noting that Ovechkin led the league with 50 goals and Holtby won 48 games to tie Martin Brodeur’s NHL season record. “It feels like we’re in a total freefall, and it’s really not that way.”

The East’s other matchup has the Atlantic Division’s second-place Tampa Bay Lightning facing third-place Detroit starting on Wednesday in a rematch of an opening-round series last year. The Lightning rallied from a 3-2 series deficit to beat the Red Wings en route to reaching the Stanley Cup Final, which they lost to Chicago.

In the West, the top-seeded Dallas Stars will open against the Minnesota Wild. It marks the first time the Stars, who relocated to Dallas from Minnesota in 1993, will face the Wild in the postseason. The Stars won nine of their last 11 while overcoming injuries to key forwards Tyler Seguin

(Achilles tendon) and Patrick Eaves (lower body).

The Wild closed by losing their last five games, and went 15-11-1 after coach Mike Yeo was fired and replaced by John Torchetti.

The other West matchup features the Central Division’s second-place St. Louis Blues facing the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks starting Wednesday. It marks the 12th meeting between the two franchises, with Chicago having won eight times.

The Ducks’ victory capped an impressive run that began immediately following the NHL’s Christmas break. Anaheim opened the season 1-7-2 and was 12-15-6 following a 3-2 overtime loss at the Rangers on Dec. 22.

Starting with a 4-2 win over Philadelphia on Dec. 27, the Ducks closed the season 3410-5.

Their run was just enough to catch the crosstown rival Kings. Los Angeles squandered a chance to clinch the

Pacific Division following a 4-3 shootout loss to Winnipeg on Saturday in which the Kings blew a 3-0 lead.

The Ducks and Predators will meet for the first time in the playoffs.

The Kings will face the Sharks for the fourth time.

The Kings have won two of three series including a firstround matchup in 2014, when Los Angeles became the NHL’s fourth team to overcome a 3-0 series deficit.

The Panthers set a franchise record with 47 wins to earn their fifth playoff berth and second in the past 15 seasons.

They have never met the Islanders in the postseason.

The Islanders are seeking to end a first-round playoff drought. New York hasn’t won a playoff series since a second-round matchup against Pittsburgh in 1993.

The Lightning went 7-9-1 in their final 17 games and enter the playoffs minus captain Steven Stamkos (blood clots) and defenseman Anton Stralman (broken left leg).

ning on technical superiority in two straight matches.

“America is so great in so many ways. We need an Olympic gold medal for women’s freestyle wrestling and I’m going to do that,” Gray said.

Dennis completed his comeback to the sport after an absence of more than two years with a stunning 10-0 win over fellow former Iowa Hawkeye Tony Ramos in just 64 seconds.

Bisek, a two-time world bronze medalist who’s arguably the best shot the U.S. has for an Olympic medal in the Greco-Roman discipline, rolled past Geordan Speiller 6-2 and 4-0.

Smith, who was fifth at worlds in 2015, dominated Adam Coon in a two-match sweep highlighted by a five-point throw to open the second match.

“I want to win. I want to throw people on their head and have fun doing it,” Smith said. “This has been my dream.”

J’Den Cox (86 kilograms, freestyle), Haley Augello (48 kilograms, women’s freestyle) and Helen Maroulis (53 kilograms, freestyle) took first in classes the U.S. has yet to qualify to compete in at the Olympics.

All three will try to earn bids for themselves and their country in a pair of last-chances events in Mongolia and Turkey in the next few weeks.

North Dakota wins NCAA hockey title TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Drake Caggiula was determined to not leave the Frozen Four without North Dakota’s eighth national hockey title.

The senior forward scored two third-period goals in his final college game, and the Fighting Hawks got a short-handed goal and three assists from freshman Brock Boeser in a 5-1 victory over top-seeded Quinnipiac on Saturday night.

“I just played like it was my last weekend because it was, and I wanted to lay everything out there that I could for this university,” Caggiula said. “They’ve done so much for me, and I wanted to give everything I could back. There’s no better way to repay the university than by giving them a national championship.”

Cam Johnson had 32 saves for the Fighting Hawks (34-6-4). They won their first national title since 2000 and pulled within one of Michigan for the record.

Caggiula scored in each of North Dakota’s four postseason wins and was named the tournament’s most outstanding player. He also had two goals in a 4-2 victory over Denver that sent the Fighting Hawks into theFrozen Four final for the 13th time.

Quinnipiac (32-4-7) lost in the title game for the second time in four seasons. The Bobcats trailed 2-1 entering the third period, but their hopes for a first championship faded quickly when Caggiula beat goalie Michael Garteig twice in just over two minutes to break the game open before a crowd of 19,358.
