Supreme Court justices coming to Creston By KYLE WILSON CNA managing [email protected]

You will want a seat at Creston High School auditorium March 9.

Why?Iowa Supreme Court will be

holding oral arguments for a case currently on file with the court. The case, Sanon v. City of Pella, involves the drowning of two teen-age boys while on a youth camp outing to the Pella Aquatic Center operated by the city of Pella.

This case centers on whether acts or omissions of city employ-ees resulting in violation of pool

safety regulations amount to a criminal offense under Iowa law such that the city does not have immunity from liability under Iowa Code.

This event is not a mock trial.The live event is slated 7 p.m.

March 9. There is no cost for this event and the public is invited. Or-ganizers do ask the public be seat-ed by 6:45 p.m. that evening. The doors to the auditorium will close

at 6:55 p.m.“These cases are normally only

heard in Des Moines, so this liter-ally could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for some,” said Skip Kenyon, Creston’s city attorney. “It’s a real opportunity — right here in our backyard — to see the operations of the court system at the highest level in Iowa. I hope the community takes advantage of this.”

This event is part of the court system’s public outreach activi-ties.

Steve Davis, communications coordinator for the Iowa Judi-cial Branch, said the court holds these events in two Iowa communities each fall and two each spring so patrons can build a greater understanding for the court system.

Creston will be the 16th com-munity to host such an event. Storm Lake and Iowa City held

the events last fall.“The response has been tre-

mendous,” Davis said. “The events are held at a familiar place like a high school where there is good parking. They are in the eve-ning and we are consistently get-ting an average of 300 to 400 peo-ple to attend even in the smaller communities.”Coffee afterward

A coffee — sponsored by Cres-ton Chamber of Commerce — will be held in the Creston High School commons following the

congressman young visits

Rep. Young visits Creston during district work period

By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA associate [email protected]

On a week break from his duties in Washington, D.C., U.S. Rep. David Young, R-Van Meter, is touring his 3rd Congressional District.

“We are on our February district work period,” Young said. “When we have a week to work in the district, this is the place to be. I am getting around to all the counties in the district and just talking to

the people.”Young started Monday’s

portion of the district tour in Creston, visiting Well-man Dynamics and talked with the workers about their jobs. He also ended his day in Creston, meeting with the Creston city council mem-bers and Mayor Warren Woods.

“It is just really interest-ing if you are watching the news to see some of the he-licopters and air vehicles out there and know that a hand in Creston had something to

do with that,” Young said. “There is great pride from their workers there.”

Woods and Creston city council members discussed projects that are underway in Creston and expressed concerns they had with infra-structure funding, teaching and veteran support.

“You probably drove on one of our streets that really needs work,” Woods said.

Young said he does not think a federal fuel tax will pass Congress. Iowa state legislators are working on a

state fuel tax to help main-tain infrastructure. He add-ed it helps to know if the city applies federal loans and grants so he can advocate for approval while in Washing-ton, D.C.

“I am on the appropria-tions committee,” Young said. “I am not there to just write the big checks ... those days are over. When there is gridlock and government isn’t running, one thing that

Teacher accused of public intoxication at school

ANKENY (AP) — A kindergarten teacher at a suburban Des Moines elementary school has been accused of drinking beer in her classroom.

Police say 40-year-old Jennifer L. Rich, of West Des Moines, was arrested Friday at East Elementa-ry School in Ankeny after testing positively on an initial breathalyzer test. She was charged with public intoxication and child endangerment.

An Ankeny School District human resources representative says Rich submitted her resignation Monday.

According to a news release, police responded to a report from a parent claiming that Rich was spotted at the school with a can of beer. Authorities say they found a bag in her classroom containing two empty cans and four full cans of beer, and that Rich’s eyes were bloodshot and watery.

Rich is not being held in police custody.

GovernorBranstad declines opinion on fuel tax

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Terry Brans-tad says he expects to approve legislation this session that would address road funding, but he declined to say whether it would be through a 10 cent increase to the fuel tax.

Branstad told reporters Monday that legislation in the House and Senate could change before it reach-es his desk for approval. When asked if he would support a 10 cent tax increase, he said he would re-serve judgment until seeing a final draft.

The bills as they’re currently written would raise the state fuel tax by 10 cents. Panels have sent bills to full committees in the House and the Senate for consideration.

Branstad and lawmakers have been vocal about raising money to help fix Iowa’s network of bridges and roads, many of which are in disrepair.

Push to boost defense spending puts GOP in budget bind

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pressing Pentagon demands in a time of terror threats and Islamic State militants have put newly empowered congressional Republicans in a bind. Defense hawks want to wipe out previous spending cuts to steer more money to the military, but the GOP is divided over how to do it without piling

billions onto the deficit.Lawmakers who want to

rein deficit spending insist that any increases for the military should be financed by cuts to domestic programs — even as GOP pragmatists warn that could cause a bud-get logjam that would drag on for months. And that’s before GOP leaders begin talks with President Barack

Obama, who’s demanding increases for domestic agen-cies, too.

At issue is the budget for the upcoming fiscal year be-ginning Oct. 1. While pro-grams like Social Security, Medicare and food stamps run on autopilot, agency budgets are passed by Con-gress each year and require Obama’s signature.

The problem stems from the hard-fought budget and debt bill of August 2011. A so-called supercommittee failed to reach a broad fiscal deal, resulting in spending cuts on the day-to-day op-erating budgets of virtually every federal agency. Two

Don Douglas Lenox

Celebration of Life Ser-v i c e s for Don D o u g -las, age 87 of Le-nox, who p a s s e d a w a y Monday, F e b r u -ary 16, 2015 at the Lenox Care Center will be held Wednesday, February 18, 2015 at 10:30 AM at the Ritchie Funeral Home in Lenox. Visitation will be-gin Wednesday morning at 10:00 AM until service time. Interment with mili-tary rites will be held at the North Fairview Cemetery in Lenox. Memorials may be directed to the Lenox Amer-ican Legion or the Lenox Fire Department. Memo-ries may be shared at www.ritchiefuneralhome.com. Arrangements were entrust-ed to the Ritchie Funeral Home of Lenox.

Donald Raymond Doug-las was born March 19, 1927 in Atkinson, Nebras-ka. He was the son of Gil-bert Douglas and Mildred (Hunt) Douglas. Don was the youngest of seven sisters and brothers. Don enlisted in the service during WWII and served two years in Ger-many. He was stationed near Hitler’s hide-out and was discharged before his 21st birthday.

On February 19, 1950 he was united in marriage to Betty Roberts of Prescott. To this loving union three children were born. Over

the years Don worked at Center Milk in Creston, as a milk hauler, Wellmans and at AMPI as a contract milk hauler until he retired. After retirement he drove a school bus for Prescott School.

Don and Betty lived on the acreage until Betty passed away on May 16, 2004. Don then moved to Lenox where he has lived the last 11 years. Don enjoyed his time on his acreage with his livestock and tractors. He liked to help Betty in the garden. Don always enjoyed when the grandchildren came to visit. While living in Lenox he enjoyed going to after-noon coffee at Tiger Den with friends.

Left to cherish Don’s memory are his three chil-dren, Terry Douglas and wife Mona of Corning; Pam Mitchell and husband Darol of Lenox; and Tim Douglas of Lenox; six grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; one great-great grandson and many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Preceding Don in death, his wife Betty; his par-ents Gilbert and Mildred; brothers Glen Douglas and Earl Douglas; sisters Mi-neva Douglas Tully, Delo-ris Douglas Beck; Bernice Douglas Brown; sister Beu-lah Douglas at infancy.

Those we love remain with us, for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone ...

Those we love can nev-er be more than a thought apart, for as long as there is memory, they’ll live on within our heart.

Young spent part of his day with area teachers dis-cussing No Child Left Be-hind. He said there is a bi-partisan effort working on correcting the ineffective program.

“There is no better way

to get in touch with the district and know what people are talking about unless you get in front of them,” Young said. “That is the promise I made to folks that I wouldn’t be a stranger.”

Young will be in the district for the rest of the week. He planned to visit Polk County today.

years later, the pain hit — across-the-board spending cuts.

The result was a blow to the Pentagon, with the de-partment’s core spending on ships, planes, personnel and warfighting equipment reduced. Instead of a core budget of $577 billion, de-fense spending would be limited to $523 billion, ac-cording to the Congressio-nal Budget Office.

“We really cannot put a 2016 spending plan to-gether at the $523 billion level,” said senior House Armed Service Committee member Michael Conaway, R-Texas. “That’s just unac-ceptable. We have to fix it somehow.”

While many GOP conser-vatives want to reduce the budget for domestic agen-cies to free up funds for the military, party pragmatists warn that this approach failed badly when House Republicans tried it two years ago.

Others are eying cuts to other programs to provide relief similar to the biparti-san 2013 budget deal than rankled GOP conserva-tives.

Under Capitol Hill’s arcane process, Congress first passes a non-binding measure called a budget resolution that sets over-all spending and lays out agency budgets in broad parameters. Then the ap-propriations committees get to work, spending much of the summer and fall writing detailed spend-ing bills.

The budget typically passes on a party-line vote, but the individual spend-ing bills need at least some Democratic support since several GOP hard-liners refuse to back many of them in an effort to rein in government spending.

Any resolution of the mess appears to be months away since Republicans appear certain to go their own way on the budget. Ultimately they’ll need Obama’s approval on any solution since they lack the votes to overcome any ve-toes.

Obama requested an additional $38 billion for the Pentagon and $37 bil-lion more for non-defense programs in his budget, financed by tax hikes and spending cuts such as curb-ing payments to health care providers. Republi-cans swiftly dismissed the idea.

Some Republicans, in-cluding Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and hardliners in

both the House and Sen-ate, want to stick to the tighter limits. That means more money for defense could only come from raid-ing non-defense programs dear to Obama and his Democratic allies.

“I’d like to have more money for defense,” Mc-Connell said in a recent interview with The Asso-ciated Press. “What I want is the overall cap to stay in place if possible. And it’s a challenge because to restore money on defense, the Democrats are going to want to restore money on the domestic side. So it’s a big challenge.”

House Republicans tried that approach two years ago but stalled after Dem-ocrats withheld support for pared-back domestic spending bills and GOP conservatives refused to vote for them either. GOP leaders were forced to pull a bill funding transporta-tion and housing programs, and Congress’ appropria-tions process stalled.

“We can’t pass bills that way,” said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., who sits on both the Budget and Appro-priations committees. “If you savage all these other accounts and Republicans aren’t willing to vote for them even then, which is what happened when T-HUD (transportation, housing and urban de-velopment) went down a couple years ago, then you put yourself in a situation where you can’t move leg-islation.”

The impasse and a subse-quent partial government shutdown led Republicans to seek a more peaceful resolution. A subsequent agreement between Re-publicans controlling the House and the then-Dem-ocratic-controlled Senate in late 2013 restored $63 billion worth of sequester cuts over fiscal 2014 and 2015, paid for by a com-bination of other cuts and user fees spread out over a decade.

Some Republicans and the White House see the 2013 agreement, negotiat-ed by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., as a model to emulate.

“I don’t see any reason why Congress couldn’t come together and do that again ... paid for by defi-cit reduction spread out over time,” said top White House economist Jason Furman in a recent inter-view with the AP.

“It’s a work in prog-ress,” said House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price, R-Ga.

DEFENSE:

LOS ANGELES (AP) — How to keep the “mod-ern” in “Modern Family” in its sixth season? Create an episode that plays out completely on a computer and in the realm of social media.

That’s what’s in store Feb. 25 on the ABC com-edy’s “Connection Lost,” a half-hour that revolves around Claire Dunphy’s (Julie Bowen) frantic ef-fort to locate daughter Ha-ley (Sarah Hyland) after they squabble.

Other than a few scenes shot with the MacBook Pro, the episode was cap-tured entirely with iPhone 6s and iPads, series co-cre-ator and executive produc-er Steve Levitan said.

ABC and producer Twentieth Century Fox Television announced the project Tuesday.

This isn’t Apple’s first starring role on “Modern Family.” On the brink of the iPad’s retail debut in 2010, the tablet was por-trayed as a sought-after birthday gift.

Levitan said the upcom-ing episode involved no product-placement com-pensation to Apple and re-sulted from an epiphany he had during an online expe-rience involving one of his college-age daughters.

“I had emails open, some websites... then my daughter showed up” on FaceTime, he recounted. “I could not only see her, but I could see me, and there was something going on behind me, my wife or somebody.”

“I realized on that screen, you could tell so much about my life,” Levi-tan said. It occurred to him that format would be fit-ting for “Modern Family,” he told reporters after a sneak peek at the episode.

All the comedy’s house-holds represent a contem-porary family in some way, he said, including that of gay couple Mitch and Cam, who are adoptive parents, and Jay and Gloria, a cross-cultural, cross-gener-ational pair. With Claire, Phil and their children, the marker is how they com-municate.

In the comedy’s debut episode in 2009, the par-ents summoned Haley to dinner by calling out to her, Levitan recalled. Her response: “Why are you yelling, why don’t you just text me?”

The in-progress “Con-nection Lost” looked very much like Levitan’s ac-count of his own experi-ence, with a “Modern Fam-ily” overlay.

When asked, Pritzlaff also provided a smoking pipe and another container containing the green leafy substance, marijuana. The officer asked him if there was any other marijuana in the vehicle, and Pritzlaff reached behind his drivers

seat and grabbed a ziplock bag containing multiple plas-tic containers of marijua-na, THC gummy candy and smoking pipes. There was a total weight, with packaging, of 10.8 ounces.

I have some exciting news.No, “Fifty Shades of Grey”

hasn’t arrived at Creston Strand Theatre yet fellas. I know how badly you want tickets to that flick.

The exciting news does involve the multimedia platform, though. Recently, journalists at the Cres-ton News Advertiser were armed with a cell phone application called Tout that makes producing quality news videos incredibly easy. Want to see what we’ve created so far?

Take a minute right now, visit www.crestonnews.com and view the dozen or so videos we’ve al-ready produced.

For cell phone and tablet users, videos can be viewed by clicking on the menu tab, followed by news video tab. For desktop and laptop users, the videos are located on the right-hand rail of our homepage. (See photo, right, for help).

There, Jake Waddingham of the CNA created a video of Verlyn and Alice Blevins — the lovely Creston couple who celebrated their 66th

wedding anniversary on Valen-tine’s Day this year.

Also, Larry Peterson, sportswrit-er for the CNA, caught up with Creston/O-M wrestling coach Dar-rell Frain for a Tout video after a record nine wrestlers advanced to the state tournament over the weekend.

But, it wasn’t until I viewed an-other of Larry’s videos that I was completely sold this video project was worthwhile for journalists and consumers. The video featured G.G. Harris — a graduate of Cres-ton High School who is now the head basketball coach at AHST (Avoca).

As a consumer, I was immediate-ly interested in this video because

Harris and I played a lot of round-ball together in our day — whether it be in the high school gym, pick-up games at the Southern Prairie YMCA or driveway battles at a friend’s house.

Larry captured his postgame re-action to coaching against his for-mer high school team for the first time. I watched the video eagerly. It was almost like I was “catching

up” with Harris.He really seems to have turned

into a good, young prep basketball coach. But, that comes as no sur-prise.

Really, our journalists are in the beginning stages of creating these Tout videos for our website. Our results so far have been excellent with videos receiving than more than 1,000 views already. Moving

forward, our journalists will each be producing at least one Tout vid-eo per week.

So, keep checking our website and Facebook page.

I assure you there will be videos that capture your attention, espe-cially with state wrestling tourna-ment this week whereby you’ll be able to see videos from some of the matches instantly on our website.

HOLLYWOOD—God Bless America and how’s everybody?

Bruce Jenner was photographed talking on a cell while driving a Ford Fiesta in Thousand Oaks Tuesday three days after his SUV crash. It made locals sick. Tran-sitioning from man to woman is one thing but going from an Esca-lade to a Ford Fiesta in three days is more than people in L.A. can stomach.

Green Bay Packer Letroy Guion was arrested with a large supply of marijuana and a pistol and two hundred grand in cash last week the same day Hall of Fame line-man Warren Sapp was arrested for assault and soliciting hookers. All signs are clear as a bell. The NFL off-season has officially begun.

Fifty Shades of Grey premiered in movie theaters Friday about a steamy S&M romance based on a bestseller. In it a beautiful college co-ed signs a contract in which she agrees to be a wealthy man’s per-sonal plaything and whipping post. The Saudi News calls it the Feel Good Movie of the Year.

Charles Manson called off his wedding after he found out his fi-ancee planned to place his body under glass after he died and sell tickets to see it. She told reporters her plans last week. No one in L.A. could believe that a woman would be so stupid as to show her hand like that so close to Valentine’s Day.

Rutgers University held an ad-missions fair to recruit illegal im-migrants as prospective students Saturday, where illegals were given free legal advice on how to

avoid deportation and creative ways to acquire federal loans. It’s important that we nurture these kids. They represent the future of U.S. soccer.

New York lawmakers debated legalizing and taxing marijuana sales last week. It’d raise lots of state revenue. On Tuesday the Colorado treasurer reported last year the state made forty-four mil-lion dollars from marijuana taxes. The only problem is, they can’t remember where they stashed the money.

President Obama signed an order letting companies and the FBI share cyber-threats to thwart corporate hacking. Encryption fools nobody. Ever since Sony Studios chairman resigned after the Obama jokes she e-mailed to a friend were made public, CEOs are exchanging President O’Brien jokes.

NBC News was swamped by more evidence of NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams wild-ly exaggerating his role in news stories he’s witnessed or in war stories he’s covered. Hopefully his problem’s treatable. Yesterday he said he still suffers nightmares about the night he saved Private Ryan.

A University of South Florida urologist onThursday performed

the world’s first penis reduction surgery on a seventeen-year-old Florida boy. The kid was con-vinced that his abnormality would inhibit his sex life and ability to play sports. It’s another example of why consultants are of question-able value.

ISIS fighters seized a town near a U.S. Marine post in Iraq Friday after eight terrorists wearing sui-cide vests breached a nearby Iraqi base that houses U.S. Marines. The terrorists were all shot and killed in the street before they could self-detonate. You never hear the good stories involving white cops.

Jeb Bush was ripped by right-to-die activists for his refusal as Florida Governor to allow Terri Schiavo to be taken off life sup-port. It’s a moot point by now. So many kids today walk around with phone chargers, if you ever end up on life support they won’t be able to find the plug, much less pull it.

President Obama’s budget calls for student loans to be paid off at fifteen percent of the student’s fu-ture earnings for twenty-five years. The student loan program is in-spiring a new generation of Ameri-cans. In a new survey forty percent of all college undergraduates said they want to be loan sharks.

GOP candidate Governor Scott Walker flew to England to pro-mote trade with Wisconsin. It’s a tradition for presidential hopefuls to meet British leaders. The Brit-ish Constitution offers British sub-jects the same constitutional rights that U.S. citizens enjoy only we offer complimentary TSA groping.

OPINIONOPINION

NEW YORK (AP) — With a measure of anni-versary hoopla perhaps exceeded only by the na-tion’s bicentennial, “Satur-day Night Live” celebrated its 40th season on Sunday with a 3½-hour gala of stars, laughs and memories.

It aired live from New York’s Studio 8H at NBC, which has been “SNL” HQ since premiering on a Satur-day night in October 1975. It was a black-tie event so jammed with “SNL” alum-ni and other celebs they fu-eled an hour-long red carpet event before the big show even began. Some 80 names were listed in the opening credits.

It started with a medley of catchphrases, music and characters performed by Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake that concluded, inevitably, with their pro-nouncement, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

Who was the rightful host? Steve Martin stepped up first, but was joined one by one by stars includ-ing Peyton Manning, Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, Billy Crystal, Melissa McCarthy, Paul McCartney and Paul Simon to dispute his selec-tion.

Among the night’s many tributes, Jack Nicholson noted that “when ‘SNL’ started, the last helicopter had just flown out of Viet-nam, Watergate was still fresh in everyone’s minds, and New York was broke.”

The night’s big hitch: Ed-die Murphy was greeted like returning royalty, with an introductory tribute from Chris Rock that lasted much longer than Murphy’s actu-al appearance. Murphy said little more than thanks.

After all the buildup, his blink-and-he-was-gone par-ticipation was an epic fail. It was the main disappoint-ment in a long, very long, but mostly satisfying retro-spective of TV’s great com-edy institution.

Robert De Niro marveled that, 40 years later, “SNL” is “still at it. Forty years! That’s like back when TV was still watched on TV.”

Jerry Seinfeld said, “There are so many things about ‘Saturday Night Live’ that people don’t know. For instance, I just found out that one of the original cast members in 1975 was Brian Williams.”

Seinfeld then took goofy questions from the VIP au-dience, including Michael Douglas, James Franco, Dakota Johnson and Sar-ah Palin, who asked, “How much do you think Lorne Michaels would pay me to run in 2016?” “Run for pres-ident?” Seinfeld replied. “I don’t think there’s a number too big.”

But it wasn’t all live.The first clip: John Be-

lushi and Michael O’Dono-ghue in the language-lesson sketch with which the very first “SNL” episode opened.

A remarkable montage of audition tapes from pro-

spective “SNL” cast mem-bers included one notable washout: Jim Carrey.

New York was honored with clips and comic sketch-es capturing the love-it-hate-it spirit of the Big Ap-ple through the decades, as well as a pivotal moment from the first “SNL” epi-sode to air after 9-11 when then Mayor Rudolf Giuliani told “SNL” creator Michaels “that ‘Saturday Night Live’ is one our great New York City institutions, and that’s why it’s important for you to do your show tonight.”

“Can we be funny?” asked Michaels, to which Giuliani replied with impeccable tim-ing, “Why start now?”

Another group of clips focused on sports-related skits. Another gathered mo-ments from filmed comedy segments (including a nod to hapless Mr. Bill).

And yet another sample reel traced the show’s legacy of political humor.

Will Ferrell as 2000 pres-idential candidate George W. Bush summed up the best argument for his elec-tion: “Strategery.” And Darrell Hammond as his opponent, Al Gore, offered his own: “Lockbox.”

On a serious note, an in memoriam segment re-membered the members of the “SNL” troupe who have passed, and not just the on-camera stars (and The Voice, Don Pardo), but departed members of the behind-the-scenes company and crew.

But it wasn’t all taped. A classic commercial paro-dy was encored live: Super Bass-o-Matic, with pitch-man Dan Aykroyd and Laraine Newman repeating their performances from 1976. An all-star soap-spoof “The Californians” was revived, including Taylor Swift, Bradley Cooper and Betty White. Dana Carvey and Mike Myers re-teamed for “Wayne’s World.”

And a super anchor team was gathered for “Weekend Update”: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Jane Curtin. Their top story, of course, was the “SNL” anniversary.

“Viewers of ‘Saturday Night Live’ span several generations,” Fey report-ed, “from the Baby Boom-ers to Generation X all the way to whatever you call the little dummies who are live-tweeting this right now instead of watching it.”

As a guest commentator, the classic character Rose-anne Rosannadanna (cre-ated by the late Gilda Rad-ner) was revived by Emma Stone. Edward Norton did a turn as Bill Hader’s clubs

correspondent Stefon. Mc-Carthy did the late Chris Farley’s motivational speak-er Matt Foley.

Musical guests, as an-nounced, were Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, McCartney and Simon.

Before the show, former cast member Will Ferrell expressed what many would say on stage: It was an epic night for many.

“I think I knew about it like a year ago and I was being told like, ‘Make sure you keep this date clear no matter what, so, yeah, I wouldn’t have missed this for anything. And so far it’s even just the days lead-ing up have been so special just getting to hang out with old friends and catching up and reminiscing as well as tonight’s show is gonna be I think another piece of television history. It’s very cool,” he said.

Former cast member Andy Samberg perhaps summed the night up best:

“It’s like ‘The Big Chill’ if there were like 700 people in the house.”

Dear Heloise: My wife and I enjoy reading your column in the San Antonio Express-News.

Dear Heloise: Please warn your readers about the im-portance of knowing the difference between a power strip and a surge protector.

A power strip provides more electrical outlets to plug electronics into.

A surge protector does the same, while also protecting those devices from a voltage spike. Surge protectors are especially important during big storms with lightning, which can cause power outag-es. Hope this helps! — Jordan in San Antonio

HELPFUL PUSHDear Heloise: My mother

was having a hard time push-ing in her chair due to the carpet in my dining room. We thought of the furniture slid-ers that stores use to move major pieces of furniture.

M O R G A N T O W N — Juwan Staten made a layup with 4 seconds left to lift No. 23 West Virginia to a 62-61 victo-ry over No. 8 Kansas on Monday night.

Staten finished with 20 points to give the Mountaineers (20-6, 8-5 Big 12) their first 20-win season in four years. It was Staten’s first field goal over the final eight minutes after he had gone to the bench with leg cramps.

After Staten made a spin move around Frank Mason III and hit a left-handed layup, the Jayhawks’ Perry Ellis caught a long pass but missed a layup between two defenders just be-fore the final buzzer.

Ellis finished with 19 points, Mason had 18 and Kelly Oubre Jr. add-ed 14 points for Kansas (21-5, 10-3). Jevon Car-ter added 13 points for West Virginia.MVC honors

ST. LOUIS — North-ern Iowa senior Seth Tuttle has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Co-player of the week.

East Union takes district opener at O-MBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

ORIENT — Just 72 hours after coaching a 52-39 vic-tory over his alma mater in Afton, East Union coach Thad Tussey praised his team for duplicating the fact in a 50-43 victory over Orient-Macksburg Monday night in the gym where he played for his father, former Bulldog coach Steve Tussey.

This win, however, was even more critical in that the Eagles advanced to a Class 1A District 12 quarterfi-nal game Thursday against eighth-ranked Earlham at 8 p.m. in Afton. That game follows Mormon Trail vs. Murray at 6:30 p.m.

Mormon Trail held off Lamoni in Monday’s opener here, 52-50.

Thad Tussey said Friday’s dress rehearsal for the dis-trict matchup was helpful, to a point.

“We did enough to win Friday,” Tussey said. “To-night, we did show some things we didn’t show the first time, but they were things we’d been doing all year. We watched the film and looked at how they de-fended us, and made some adjustments based on that. On the other end, we just had to play solid defense.”

A low-scoring game with a patient offense working for high percentage shots is classic Orient-Macks-burg basketball that Tussey played for his father back in the day. O-M coach Drew Dornack, who had also worked with Steve Tussey at O-M, saw some familiar elements in the Eagles’ style

of play.“We knew they have kind

of a slow-down style,” Dor-nack said. “They did what the system does, they kept us in the 40s and scored just a little more. He (Steve Tussey) was obviously here watching both, and hope-fully he took some pride in watching two former assis-tants go at it.”

Senior guard Cole Camp-bell got the Eagles off to a good start with perimeter shooting that gave the Ea-

gles a 9-2 lead, and later a 12-point margin with the second of his two 3-pointers for a 28-16 advantage late in the second period.

Campbell had 11 points as the Eagles finished the half in front 28-22. He ended with a team-high 16 points along with six assists and two steals.

“Campbell, for what he had to go through in losing his grandfather this week-end, deserves a lot of cred-it. He had a visitation for

that today,” Dornack said. “That’s pretty courageous to be able to come out and play like that. It might have motivated him a little more, I don’t know.”

Richard Jones of Shannon City died Friday, with funer-al services today. Campbell attended a funeral visitation earlier in the day in Afton.

He and post player Tyler Kelley did much of the dam-age for the Eagles after O-M had rallied to within a point at 30-29 in the third quarter.

Kelley was unchecked near the b a s k e t and his offensive r e b o u n d for a put-back gave the Eagles a three-point mar-gin at the third-quarter buzzer, 32-29.

Then to start the fourth period, Casey Walter drove for a basket and then Kelley was again open under the basket for a lay-in to push the Eagles in front 36-29.

O-M senior Jordan Thompson broke the streak with his own inside basket, and from there the margin stayed between five and seven points until the 3:30 mark.

That’s when the Eagles broke it open. Holding a 41-35 lead, Gabe Nixon took an assist from Kelley on an out of bounds play, and Camp-bell drove and dished for an assist to Kelley near the bas-ket to stretch it to 10 points at 45-35 with 2:00 left.

Seth White gave the Bulldogs a last gasp come-back hope with a 3-pointer that cut it to 49-42 with 30 seconds left, but O-M was able to only add one free throw from there in the sev-en-point loss.

“That’s the way we’ve been all year,” Dornack said. “We’ll put together a good series, then have one mental breakdown on de-fense. We wanted to get a body on Kelley and shut down Gossman, but then

Spartans fall in OT against DMACCBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

Southwestern’s men’s basketball team nearly avenged a 102-52 loss from Jan. 17 to fifth-ranked DMACC here Saturday, but lost in overtime, 83-78.

The Spartans overcame multiple double-digit defi-cits in the first half to take a five-point lead with 16.9 seconds left.

But the Bears hit a 3-pointer to cut the lead to two points with 10.5 sec-onds remaining. TJ Bower then sank one of two free throws to put the Spartans back up three with :09.9 left in the game.

DMACC got a contested 24-footer to drop with :03 left in the game to send the game into overtime, where

the Bears pulled away from Southwestern for the 83-78 victory.

“It was a really good basketball game,” South-western head coach Todd Lorensen said. “Unfortu-nately from our perspec-tive, the wrong team won. Two really good teams making big-time plays. We just came up on the short end of it.”

The Spartans trailed 41-33 at halftime and still trailed with 5:00 to go in regulation, down 60-52.

But Southwestern went on a 10-0 run to take a 62-60 lead.

“We did a really good job, getting to that point where panic could have set in, but got high quality shots and defensive stops,” Lorensen said. “That real-ly showed to me how much

we have improved over the course of the year.”

Once in overtime, the two teams remained dead-locked with 2:14 to go at 72-72.

Jaylon Smith, who s c o r e d a game-high 26 p o i n t s for the Spartans, tried to draw con-tact on a 3 - p o i n t a t t e m p t , but did not get the call. While Smith was on the ground, DMACC got out in transition for a bucket and the foul, turning it into a 3-point play.

AP source: Stoudemire commits to Mavs after

leaving KnicksBy SCHUYLER DIXONAP Sports Writer

DALLAS (AP) — Am-are Stoudemire asked out of his contract with the New York Knicks because he wants to make a run at a championship.

The veteran forward has apparently decided Dallas is the place to spend the rest of this season chasing his first title.

A person with direct knowledge of the talks said Monday night that Stoudemire has agreed to sign with the Mavericks after taking a buyout from the Knicks. He can’t make his verbal commitment of-ficial until he clears waiv-ers Wednesday.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymi-ty because the deal wasn’t official, told The Asso-ciated Press that Stou-demire could be available when Dallas returns from the All-Star break Thurs-day at Oklahoma City.

The 32-year-old Stou-demire was waived Mon-day after requesting the Knicks buy out the re-mainder of his contract that was set to expire after this season. He’s likely to clear waivers.

“I will be forever grate-ful for the opportunity to contribute positively on the court and in the com-munity,” Stoudemire said. “ A l -though I leave the K n i c k s with a h e a v y heart, I wish the organiza-

tion the best of luck. Once a Knick always a Knick.”

Dallas has needed frontcourt help since trad-ing Brandan Wright in a deal that brought point guard Rajon Rondo from Boston.

Stoudemire averaged 17.3 points and 6.7 re-bounds in 255 games over five seasons with the Knicks, making the play-offs three times. He was a starter in the 2011 All-Star Game, the Knicks’ first in 14 years.

“His time here should be marked by recognizing his effort. It was 100 per-cent,” Phil Jackson, the Knicks’ president of bas-ketball operations, said in a statement. “As we move forward in structur-ing this team, we will look for players that exhibit his desire to win.”

Carmelo Anthony, who wanted to play for the Knicks in part because Stoudemire had signed there in 2010, learned the news Sunday after playing in the All-Star Game.

“Amare brought some-thing back to New York that New York was kind of missing and needing for a long time,” Antho-ny said. “When he came, he brought back some of the excitement here for the game of basketball in New York. There was hope when he came back. People started believing in the New York Knicks once again. He was the main reason for that be-lief and for that hope when he first got here in New York.”

DMACC clips Spartan women;halftime lead evaporates at SimpsonBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

A swarming DMACC de-fense chased Southwestern women out of their comfort zone Saturday in a 69-46 vic-tory over the Spartans here.

The Bears, now 17-10 overall and 5-5 in ICCAC league play, took a 33-22 halftime lead on the heels of a big run near the end of the first half. DMACC then out-scored Southwestern 36-24 over the second half.

“We didn’t shoot very well. We were feeling a lit-tle rushed. They get out and pressure and trap you all over the court,” SWCC coach Addae Houston said. “At times we handled it well. But we had a tough five-minute stretch before half.”

Southwestern had 23 turnovers in the game to

DMACC’s 15, and s u f f e r e d from 30 p e r c e n t s h o o t -ing from the field. S a b r i n a Founta in led the Spartans with 15 points.

Olivia Reifert had sev-en rebounds and six points for Southwestern. LaStella Slack also hauled in seven rebounds while scoring four points. Jill Vanderhoof had six rebounds, four assists and five points for the Spar-tans, who fell to 2-8 in the league and 3-21 overall.

The game started a stretch of four games in eight days for the Spartans, who trav-eled to Simpson College Monday for nonconference game against the Storm JV.

Earlier in the season it was a matchup that gave South-western its first victory, after trailing by 16 points in the first half.

It was just the opposite situation Monday in Indi-anola. Southwestern moved to a 45-30 halftime lead, but the Storm JV overtook the Spartans with free throws at the 2:46 mark of the second half on the way to seizing a 74-66 victory.

“In the first half we came out solid and ready to play,” Houston said. “In the sec-ond half we stopped defend-ing as well, and it seemed like we missed every shot we put up when they sat in that zone.”

Statistics for the Simpson game were not available at press time.

The Timberwolves now travel to Central Decatur tonight.

“The first half consisted of a lot of turnovers, fouls and we had trouble getting into a rhythm,” Southwest Val-ley head coach Allen Naugle said. “We played tough de-fense throughout the game and the first half we were able to create some turn-overs with our press to help us stay in the game.”

Marie Palmer and Lexi Bronner were able to get into the lane for easy buck-ets and found their way to the foul line in the second half.

Kelley kind of went off on us.”

Thad Tussey said his team was patient against the Bull-dog defense that was in a zone alignment much of the night, until drawing the Bulldogs into a man-to-man with the late advantage. That’s when Campbell’s drives were effective.

“Everybody guarding Cole Campbell man-to-man, that’s a tough chore,” Tussey said. “We see some pretty good competition in the POI and the better POI guards had difficulty guard-ing him. He’s a handy player. Tyler (Kelley), Gabe (Nix-on) and Mason (Gossman)

are kind of our three-head-ed monster in the post. We opened up the floor, which allowed some driving lanes. Our posts have come along to where they are expecting the pass off the drives and getting in position to score.”

After Southwestern went scoreless on the next possession, DMACC made it a 77-72 lead. The Spartans were able to cut the lead to four points, but never got closer down the stretch, as they were forced to foul the Bears in an attempt to ex-tend the game.

“I’m not into the moral victory thing, but it was great to prove it to ourselves. I believe our guys knew we were capable of beating that team, but it was nice to show other people that, too,” Lo-rensen said. “The only way Saturday becomes a travesty is if we don’t find a way to play really hard on Wednes-

Stoudemire was an All-Star in Phoenix before signing a five-year contract worth about $100 million in 2010. He helped the Knicks end a seven-year playoff drought his first season, but he missed sig-nificant time over the past few years because of as-sorted injuries. The Knicks had to monitor his minutes since his two knee oper-ations during the 2012-13 season.

He can still score when able to play, averaging 12 points in 24 minutes this

season.“To see him leave, to see

the situation where it’s at right now, I know what he wants and you have to re-spect that,” Anthony said. “As an athlete, as a com-petitor, you only want the best for your friends, your close ones. He wants to play for a championship is what I’m hearing. He wants to play for a contender. I don’t think nobody should hold that away from him.”

Report: Iowa prison officials botched inmate’s discipline

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa prison officials unfair-ly lengthened an offender’s sentence by excessively pun-ishing him for assault, a case that highlights systemic prob-lems with inmate disciplinary hearings, a state watchdog agency said Monday after a years-long review.

In a report called “Nei-ther fair, nor impartial,” the Office of Ombudsman concludes that Department of Corrections officials vi-olated policies and inmate Randy Linderman’s rights when they disciplined him for bumping a guard in 2008. The ombudsman said the case

underscored questionable procedures used in dozens of hearings daily in which in-mates can have sentences ex-tended and lose privileges for rules violations.

The report determined that a prison judge ordered Linderman into 180 days of isolation and took away 180 days of earned time — a harsher punishment than allowed under department policy — after being private-ly pressured by the warden. Department officials gave “dubious and contradictory answers” in seeking to jus-tify the punishment during the ombudsman’s investiga-

tion, including the judge’s unusual claim that Linder-man’s chest was considered a weapon during the assault.

The ombudsman, who in-vestigates complaints against state and local agencies, said the department should dis-courage employees from privately discussing pending cases with the administrative law judges who decide sanc-tions. Such communications are barred in other agencies that have independent judges to avoid perceptions of bias — but are legal and common inside the Department of Corrections.

As long as those communi-

cations continue, prison judg-es “are not truly independent, as state and federal laws re-quire,” the report said. “As a result, DOC inmates’ legal right to fair disciplinary hear-ings has been and continues to be compromised.”

Judges work inside prisons and report to de-partment general counsel Michael Savala, who told in-vestigators he didn’t believe such discussions influence the fairness of hearings.

The report is expected to attract the attention of lawmakers and could help inmates suing the state with excessive-discipline claims.

Federal judge stalls Obama’s executive action on immigration HOUSTON (AP) —

The White House prom-ised an appeal Tuesday after a f e d e r -al judge in Tex-as tem-p o r a r i l y b l o c k e d President B a r a c k Obama’s executive action on im-migration and gave a co-alition of 26 states time to pursue a lawsuit aiming to permanently stop the orders.

U.S. District Judge An-drew Hanen’s decision late Monday puts on hold Obama’s orders that could spare from deportation as many as five million people who are in the U.S. illegally.

Hanen wrote in a mem-orandum accompanying his order that the lawsuit should go forward. Without a preliminary injunction, he said, the states would “suf-fer irreparable harm in this case.”

“The genie would be im-possible to put back into the bottle,” he wrote, adding

that he agreed that legaliz-ing the presence of millions of people is a “virtually irre-versible” action.

In a statement early Tues-day, the White House de-fended the executive orders issued in November as with-in the president’s legal au-thority, saying the U.S. Su-preme Court and Congress have said federal officials can establish priorities in enforcing immigration laws.

“The district court’s deci-sion wrongly prevents these lawful, commonsense poli-cies from taking effect and the Department of Justice has indicated that it will appeal that decision,” the statement said.

The U.S. Department of Justice will appeal the rul-ing, the White House said. The appeal will be heard by

the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

The first of Obama’s or-ders — to expand a program that protects young immi-grants from deportation if they were brought to the U.S. illegally as children — was set to start taking effect Wednesday. The other ma-jor part of Obama’s order, which extends deportation protections to parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have been in the country for some years, was not expected to begin until May 19.

Joaquin Guerra, political director of Texas Organiz-ing Project, called the ruling a “temporary setback.”

“We will continue getting immigrants ready to apply for administrative relief,” he said in a statement. The nonprofit says it promotes social and economic equal-ity for low to moderate in-come Texans.

The coalition of states, led by Texas and made up of mostly conservative states in the South and Midwest, ar-gues that Obama has violat-ed the “Take Care Clause” of the U.S. Constitution,

which they say limits the scope of presidential pow-er, and that his executive actions would be difficult to undo once immigrants start-ed to apply for deferred ac-tion. They also say Obama’s order would force increased investment in law enforce-ment, health care and edu-cation.

House Speaker John Boehner said Monday’s rul-ing wasn’t a surprise and un-derscores that Obama acted beyond his authority.

Boehner said he hopes that Senate Democrats will relent in their opposition to a Homeland Security De-partment spending bill that overturns Obama’s action. The department’s funding expires Feb. 27 and Con-gress has only a few legisla-tive days to act.

Texas Attorney Gener-al Ken Paxton called the decision a “victory for the rule of law in America” in a statement late Monday. Tex-as Gov. Greg Abbott, who led the state into the lawsuit when he was the state’s at-torney general, said Hanen’s

decision “rightly stops the President’s overreach in its tracks.”

Hanen, who’s been on the federal court since 2002 after being nominated by President George W. Bush, regularly handles border cases but wasn’t known for being outspoken on immi-gration until a 2013 case. In that case, Hanen suggest-ed that Homeland Security should be arresting parents living in the U.S. illegally who induce their children to cross the border.

Congressional Republi-cans have vowed to block Obama’s actions by cutting off Homeland Security De-partment spending for the program. Earlier this year, the Republican-controlled House passed a $39.7 billion spending bill to fund the de-partment through the end of the budget year, but attached language to undo Obama’s executive actions. The fate of that House-passed bill is unclear as Republicans in the Senate do not have the 60-vote majority needed to ad-vance most legislation.

“The genie would be impos-sible to put back into the bottle.”

— U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen
