Police Erin Marie Wallace, 30,
913 W. Mills St., was charged with third-offense operating while intoxicated, possession of marijuana and possession of prescription medications 9:13 p.m. Monday at 500 W. Mills St.
According to a Creston Police report, officers con-ducted a traffic stop on a white Oldsmobile Alero for not coming to a stop at a stop sign 8:34 p.m. The driver was identified as Wallace by Iowa driver’s license. Wallace seemed very nervous. After running information, officers came back and Wallace was still nervous and her hands were shaking. Wallace had two children in the vehicle, so officers asked her to step out of the vehicle. Officers asked if she was under the influence of any controlled substances or prescription medication. Wallace said she had a prescription for clonazepam. She was asked to show the prescription, and she pulled a silver met-al case from her purse. The case contained four pills, two of which were clonazepam. Officers asked to do a field sobriety test. Wallace con-sented, and the test indicated signs of impairment. Officers
then asked for a breath test. Wallace consented, with a result below the .08 legal limit.
Wallace was taken into custody and transported to Union County Law Enforce-ment Center for further test-ing. A search of her purse was conducted, and mari-juana was found. Wallace refused a urine sample.
Wallace was released on $5,000 bond.

According to a Creston Po-lice report, officers saw a male subject leave Twilight Zone, 129 N. Pine St., walk across a parking lot, take his coat off and begin punching a male vic-tim with a closed fist. Officers approached the male subject and announced themselves, but the male subject kept hitting the victim. Officers grabbed the subject’s left arm and pulled him to the patrol car, where they placed handcuffs on him. The subject was identified as Richardson by Iowa driver’s li-cense. Officers told Richardson several times to calm down and tell them what was going on. Richardson proceeded to yell and cuss at the male victim and tried to walk away from officers to the victim.
Richardson was released on $300 bond.

Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUNDOFF, about wait staff and silverware:
“I have been reading about the restaurant work-ers who use the same cloth to wash the tables and chairs. A worse problem I observed as I worked in restaurants is the silverware wrapped in napkins for placement on tables. Many workers, from wait staff to cashiers, wrap the silverware in any spare moment, especially during the busiest times, in order to keep up with large amounts of customers. I rarely saw staff wash their hands be-tween handling money or other items and then wrap-ping the utensils. — A Con-cerned Eater, via email”
Yuck! — HeloiseFAST FACTSDear Readers: Here are
some hints about items to keep handy in a guest room:
• A box of tissues and a wastebasket.
• A small flashlight and a night light.
• A few small snacks, or even fruit.
• Travel-size toiletries in a bathroom.
• Books and magazines
for reading.— HeloiseSHOE-POLISH STAINDear Heloise: My hus-
band polishes his shoes on a regular basis. He, unfortu-nately, has gotten some shoe polish on a pair of pants. Do you have a hint that might help get the stain out? — Laura in Texas
I do have a suggestion! Wet the stain with cleaning fluid, then wash the garment with your normal detergent and warm water. You may need to repeat the process to completely remove the stain. If the shoe polish is a liquid, you might not be able to get it out. Want to know what other hints I have to get out hard stains? I have compiled a pamphlet with all of my favorites. To order, send $5 and a long, self-ad-dressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Stains, P.O. Box 795001, San Anto-nio, TX 78279-5001. Have a
mystery stain you need to get rid of? Flush it with cold water, then apply prewash spray. Rub into the stain until all traces are removed, then wash as normal. — He-loise
EMPTY TEA BAGSDear Heloise: I just read
the note from a reader about loose tea. I also en-joy loose tea. The variety, and especially the quality, is much greater than what is available in tea bags. Empty tea bags are available from many sites. They are cheap-er and easier to use than cof-fee filters, and can be filled ahead of time and taken to work or on trips. — Mark in Alton, Illinois
UNMATCHED SOCKSDear Heloise: No matter
how careful I am, I always manage to have an un-matched sock. I’ve learned to keep these socks around to use for quick dusting (place it on your hand like a glove) and to protect frag-ile items, like wine bottles, when I’m packing/wrapping them. — Vasilisa H., Co-lumbia, S.C.

Panther girls debut at Central indoorBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]
PELLA — Creston girls track coach Clay Arnold said the 2014 season debut at the Central College in-door meet Saturday was a success, despite only a par-tial squad available because of spring break.
“We had a very good first meet at Central,” Arnold said. “We took 16 girls — seven of whom were not on the team last year. We saw a ton of great things and we were very encouraged at where we are right now.”
Arnold had to mix and match some lineups without standouts Maria and Nata-lie Mostek, and with versa-tile middle-distance runner Taylor Briley still hampered by a hamstring injury.
Freshman Lexie Little showed potential in several events, running a team-best carry of 2:43.57 on the 4x800 relay team that placed 17th
among 32 entries. Jami Sick-els anchored that unit in 2:47.81.
Little also ran a 30.3 an-chor on the 4x200 relay that ran 29th out of 60 in 2:05.75, and placed 7 3 r d a m o n g 176 en-tries in the 200 m e t e r s in 31.38. L i t t l e also had a team-best time of 10.0 in the 55-meter hurdles.
Senior Chelcee Down-ing had a good day in the sprints, taking 45th among 215 entries in the 55 meters in 7.95 and 18th among 79 entries in the 400 meters in 1:08.51. Jami Sickels was 25th in 1:10.48.
“Downing had a good day,” Arnold said. “She has had her best preseason of her career so far, and it showed Saturday. I was re-ally pleased with the versa-
tility of our girls. They can do a lot of different things, which allows us to move people around as needed. Jami Sickels ran her first 800 in place of Briley in the 4x800 and did a nice job run-ning 2:47.”
Another good showing at the 800 distance was turned in by Jessica Beatty, going 2:55.23 in the open 800 for first in her heat and 40th overall among 88 entries, as well as running 2:57.55 on the 17th-place 4x800 relay. Freshman Rachel Shepherd rounded out that unit at 2:58.79.
Creston’s depth in the 200 meters was evident in two relay teams placing in the top 30 among 60 entries.
The weight events suf-fered a blow when state eighth-grade champion Hannah Hood was lost for her freshman season with an upcoming shoulder surgery (torn labrum) from a vol-leyball injury. However, her sister Marie made a strong
debut in the shot put Satur-day with a throw of 26 feet.
“It was tough losing Han-nah for the season,” Arnold said. “But we’ve been work-ing with Marie, who decided to come out for track this year, and she’s been real re-ceptive to learning. To throw 26 feet in her very first try, that’s pretty good. When we go to these indoor meets we like to find out what we’ve got, and Marie’s effort was an example of how we came away impressed with some things.”
Originally, Creston was scheduled for a second in-door meet next weekend at Graceland University, but that meet was scheduled the same day as Central’s this year and eventually can-celled.
The Panthers debut out-doors by hosting the pre-season Hawkeye 10 south-ern division meet April 1.

Spartans split with EllsworthBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]
Southwestern’s softball team came back from a successful trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C., to play a con-ference doubleheader split with Ellsworth Community College in frigid conditions here Saturday.
Ellsworth took the opener before the Spartans (7-2 overall, 1-1 confer-ence) came back to take the second game by the same score, 11-6. All other softball games in the Iowa Community College Ath-letic Conference were post-poned or cancelled.
“It was one of the colder game days I’ve been asso-ciated with in a long time,” said SWCC softball coach Lindsay Stumpff. “When the sun went away it was brutal. At one point it was 29 degrees and windy. But other than our first day in Myrtle Beach, it was cold down there, too.”
The Spartans came back to Iowa with a 6-1 record, with a lineup of virtually all freshmen or first-year sophomores in the lineup, after returning catcher Brooke Wolf broke the thumb on her catching hand in the second game. Stumpff said Wolf will miss another week or two.
Freshman Peyton Rus-sell took over behind the plate for pitchers Danielle McIntosh and Sami Strand.
McIntosh pitched the opener Saturday and suf-fered some control prob-lems in the loss.
“Danielle has good movement, but she had trouble hitting her spots,” Stumpff said. “The weath-er didn’t help, I’m sure.”
Freshman Emma Fer-rin drove in two runs on a double, triple and single. Hanna Murphy had a dou-ble and single and Strand, playing DH, pounded three doubles.
Strand pitched the
Timely hitting absent in Spartan baseball lossesBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]
Clutch hitting was miss-ing from the Southwestern baseball attack in four home losses to NIACC over the weekend.
In a pair of doubleheaders played in wind chill condi-tions dipping under 20 de-grees, the Spartans had nar-row defeats both Saturday and Sunday.
NIACC won 4-2 in nine innings Saturday and 7-2 in the nightcap. The Trojans opened Sunday’s play with
a 12-2 win in six innings be-fore going extra innings for a 3-2 victory.
“We’re just not driving people in right now,” said Spartan coach Brian “Bull” Smith.
Smith explained that opening games in confer-ence doubleheaders are now scheduled for nine innings, to resemble postseason tournament play, with the second games scheduled for seven innings.
On Sunday, NIACC pitchers Jacob Gleason and Casey Hall pitched a pair of complete games. Gleason
struck out seven in the six-inning opener before Hall went eight strong innings with eight strikeouts in the 3-2 nightcap.
NIACC was the home team because the games were scheduled to be in Mason City, but had to be moved due to weather. NI-ACC improved to 4-0 in the conference, while SWCC fell to 0-11 overall and 0-4 in the league.
Southwestern also had a good starting pitching

Iowa State knocks UNC out of NCAA tourneySAN ANTONIO
(MCT)— North Carolina’s players walked out of their locker room on Sunday night with red eyes and dried tears, the sounds of another game playing on moments after their season ended — the realization that it was over still coming into focus.
“It hasn’t really sunk in, to be honest with you,” James Michael McAdoo, UNC’s junior forward, said after the Tar Heels’ 85-83 loss against Iowa State here on Sunday night in the NCAA tournament East Regional quarterfinals. “It’s just like a lot of emotion.”
In the moment, McAdoo said he was numb to it. Roy Williams, the UNC coach, has described this as his most difficult season, and it ended in one of the most difficult ways imaginable – with Iowa State winning with a DeAndre Kane layup with 1.6 seconds to play, and with the Tar Heels failing to even get off a final shot.
The game ended not with a buzzer, but with a whistle – the officials ruling time had expired before Nate Britt, the Tar Heels’ fresh-man guard, had called time-out in the final moments. After Kane’s layup, Britt received the inbounds pass
and sprinted past mid-court, where he attempted to call for time.
The clock, though, had re-mained stuck on 1.6 seconds after Kane’s layup. The of-ficials conferred, and ruled that had the clock started as it should have, it would have run out before Britt signaled for timeout. Later, Williams said he’d been trying the en-tire time to stop the clock.
“Let’s not anybody lay it on the officials or anything like that,” Williams said. “We didn’t call the timeout with 1.6 seconds to play. The

The Numbers Game
Hawks winIOWA CITY —
Theairra Taylor scored 22 points, Bethany Doo-little added 21 and Iowa blew out Marist 87-65 on Sunday in the first round of the NCAA tourna-ment.
Samantha Logic had 11 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds for the sixth-seeded Hawkeyes (27-8), who will face third-seeded Louisville on Tuesday for a trip to the Sweet Sixteen.ISU falls
AMES — Natasha Howard had her school-record 15th double-dou-ble of the season with 10 points and 13 rebounds, and 10th-seeded Florida State women defeated the cold-shooting Cy-clones 55-44 on Satur-day.
The Cyclones were second in the nation in attendance this season at better than 10,000 a game. The home crowd had little to cheer as the Cyclones turned in their worst shooting perfor-mance of the season.
The Seminoles (21-11) won their 11th straight tournament opener since 1991, prevailing in a game in which turn-overs outnumbered field goals 44-36. They’ll play No. 2 seeded Stanford (30-3) on Monday night.Busch wins
FONTANA, Calif.— With tires and tempers blowing up all over the track for 400 crazy miles, Kyle Busch stayed calm and relied on his re-markable knack for big finishes at Fontana.
Busch won on this 2-mile oval for the sec-ond straight year Sun-day, holding off Kyle Larson, Tony Stewart and his older brother Kurt on a frantic two-lap sprint to the finish.
Kyle Busch capably blocked Larson and out-lasted a crowded field to win a race featuring a track-record 35 lead changes and numerous tire problems.

And because of it, the sixth-seeded Bears are rolling out of Texas toward California and the NCAA tournament Sweet 16 after an im-pressive 85-55 win Sun-day night in the West Regional.
Isaiah Austin and Brady Heslip each scored 17 points and Baylor used suffocating defense to shut down McDermott, ending the career of one of college basketball’s most pro-lific scorers.
McDermott, who av-eraged 27 points this season, finished with 15 but had just three in the first half as Baylor built a 20-point lead.

second game and also had control is-sues with s e v e n walks, but she was backed by a strong offense in the vic-tory. Fer-
rin was 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs, Strand had a double and single and Molly Schimp was 2-for-4 with a double and single.
“With a new team you never know what to expect,” Stumpff said, “and I was worried that hitting might be our weakness. It turns out it’s one of our biggest strengths. We also haven’t made a lot of errors in our
first eight games.”The weather forecast
could hamper what is sup-posed to be a busy schedule this week for the Spartans. A 3 p.m. home doublehead-er is scheduled today against Iowa Central, folowing by a trip to William Penn Tues-day, Wednesday at home against Marshalltown and Thursday at home against Southeastern.

“Landon had a good start. He was throwing strikes,” Smith said.
NIACC broke open a 4-2 game with eight runs in the sixth inning in the opener.
On Saturday, Alex Law-son was on the mound for Southwestern in a 2-2 game in the sixth inning. The Tro-jans tallied two more runs to take the pitchers’ duel as the teams combined for only nine hits.
In the 7-2 game, Jason Roberts was pitching in a 2-2 game until two runs scored on an error, opening the door for NIACC to add a couple of insurance runs. Matt Mayden had two of
Southwestern’s eight hits in the game.

referee said that the clock operator started the clock late and they didn’t recog-nize my calling the timeout.
“And then when they did recognize the timeout and went to the monitor, they realized the clock operator had started the clock late so there should not have been any time left when they did make the observation that we were calling timeout.”
Before the officials ruled the game over, Williams had drawn up one final play. The Tar Heels (24-10) would have attempted to set a screen for Marcus Paige, the sophomore guard, and if he was covered the plan was for freshman forward Kennedy Meeks to pass to Leslie McDonald, the senior who scored 18 points in his final college game.
“Coach had a play that he had drew up on the board and I was just ready to exe-cute it to the best,” McDon-ald said.
That play, though, only ever existed on Williams’ whiteboard. UNC never had a chance to put it in motion.
The Tar Heels, the No. 6 seed in the East, led by eight points with about 4 1/2 minutes to play and at that point, Paige said, he and his teammates felt in control.
They’d rallied from a nine-point deficit in the first half, and had come back after No. 3 Iowa State (28-7) led by seven with 15 minutes re-maining.
Paige recounted that mo-ment with tears in his eyes. Iowa State trimmed the Tar Heels’ lead from eight to two points with a pair of 3-point-ers — one from Naz Long and the other from Monte Morris, whose 3-pointer cut UNC’s lead to 76-74 with three minutes to play.
About a minute later, Iowa State forward Melvin Ejim tied it at 76 with a la-yup. And that’s how it went in the final minutes – back and forth and back again, one dramatic momentum shift after another. There was a McDonald 3 that gave UNC a 3-point lead, and an-other Long 3 that tied it.
And then, after that, a play that Paige said he’ll think about between now and the start of next sea-son. The game tied at 81 with less than 30 seconds to play, he drove into the lane and jumped, as if to go up for a shot. Caught with no-where to go, he attempted a
pass that Ejim easily stole. The turnover led to an easy Kane layup.
Twenty-seven seconds remained, though, after Kane’s layup. James Mi-chael McAdoo tied the game for the 10th time with a pair of free throws with 15 seconds remaining, and then Kane scored the last of his 24 points with 1.6 seconds left.
Kane also had 10 re-bounds to lead the third-seeded Cyclones (28-7), who advanced to face sev-enth-seeded Connecticut in the East Region semifinals at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Friday.
The Big 12 champions have won six in a row — in-cluding Friday’s 93-75 victo-ry over North Carolina Cen-tral, when standout forward Georges Niang was lost for the season with a broken bone in his foot.
Iowa State pulled togeth-er without Niang, getting 19 points from Melvin Ejim, 14 from Dustin Hogue, 13 from Monte Morris and 12 from Naz Long, whose barrage of 3-pointers down the stretch sparked a Cyclones run.
CYCLONES:
Ramos gets his title By JIM NELSONWaterloo-Cedar Falls Courier
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — From the begin-ning of the NCAA Division I wrestling championships to the end, University of Iowa senior Tony Ramos was a man with a plan.
The first phase was sim-ple, win five matches and become Iowa’s 53rd nation-al champion. The other ... it was pretty sweet.
Ramos completed plan one Saturday night with his 3-1 tiebreaker win over Wisconsin’s Tyler Graff as he captured the 133-pound national title at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
As soon as his hand was raised, plan two went into full effect as Ramos sprinted off the stage and directly to the stands where he leaped mosh-pit style into a mob of friends and family.
“Oh yeah,” Ramos said if the leap into the stands was planned. “You always have something planned. They’re the closest people to me other than the wres-tling team, Tom and Terry (Brands), the other coaches, and I wanted to see them as quick as I could.
“It’s awesome. I’m ex-cited.”
A Hawkeye favorite since the time he cracked Iowa’s lineup as a sophomore, the Carol Stream, Ill., native had twice fallen short of a national championship, finishing third as a sopho-more and losing to Ohio State’s Logan Stieber in the
133-pound finals a year ago.Known for his explo-
sive style, Ramos was tac-tical and smart for three days while winning a series of close matches , and he was that way again a g a i n s t G r a f f , whom he was 3-1 a g a i n s t a l l - t i m e , including a 2-1 win over the Badger senior in this year’s Big Ten finals.
The finals match was close, as well, as he and Graff stalked and prowled for eight minutes before going to tiebreakers. After Graff rode Ramos out in the first 30-second tiebreaker, it was Ramos’ turn to ride and he was ready for Graff’s plan of attack to get out.
When Graff tried to gran-by out, Ramos caught him briefly on his back and got a two-count and was reward-ed two near fall points with 11 seconds left.
“I knew he liked to roll,” Ramos said. “As soon as he hit that roll, I was just find-ing some way to score. I caught that arm and I was like, you know, if I just fall back a little bit I’m going to get a quick count.
“That’s why you don’t roll. For young kids, never roll. Solid wrestling always wins.”
An elated Hawkeye head coach Tom Brands carried Ramos on his shoulders
from the exit of the inter-view room all the way to Iowa’s locker room.
“I kept saying he is the king and I had to go back in there and get the king’s hat,” Brands said while wearing an NCAA champi-onship hat Ramos’ brothers made for him.
Penn State captured its fourth consecutive NCAA team title by a narrow mar-gin over Minnesota, 109.5-104. The Golden Gophers led the Nittany Lions, 104-101.5 heading into the finals with each team having two finalists.
The difference was PSU’s two finalists -- Ed Ruth and David Taylor -- won and Minnesota’s two-time NCAA champion Tony Nel-son and Dylan Ness lost.
Ruth became a three-time champion with his win at 184, and Taylor, a four-time finalist, won his second title, beating Tyler Caldwell of Oklahoma State, 6-0. Ruth beat Maryland’s Jimmy Sheptock, 7-2.
Iowa finished fourth with 78.5 points and six All-Americans with Cory Clark taking fifth at 125, Derek St. John fifth at 157, Mike Evans sixth at 174, Nathan Burak eighth at 197 and Bobby Telford fourth at heavyweight.
For St. John, the defend-ing champion at 157, it was his fourth All-American performance, making him the 18th four-time All-American in program his-tory.

Malaysia prime minister: Flight ‘ended in the southern Indian Ocean’
BEIJING (MCT) — A grim-faced Malaysian prime minister had an emergency late-night news conference Monday, say-ing that the long-missing Malaysian Airlines flight 370 “ended in the south-ern Indian Ocean” with no hope of survivors.
Najib Razak said his conclusion was based on new data from the Brit-ish satellite company In-marsat, identifying the last known location of the flight as southwest of Perth, Australia.
“This is a remote loca-tion far from any possible landing sites. It is there-fore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you, that according to this new data, Flight MH 370 ended in the southern In-dian Ocean,” he said de-livering his brief statement at the news conference in Kuala Lumpur.
Families of the passen-gers had been gathered
together in Kuala Lumpur and in Beijing ahead of the news conference, and there were unconfirmed reports that families had been offered a charter flight to Australia.
In Beijing, paramedics rushed to the Lido Hotel to help family members who might be overcome with grief.
Until the end, some held out faint hope that the flight, which disappeared March 8 on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, might have been hijacked, with the passengers being held somewhere for ran-som.
The hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight had intensified Monday as search crews reported more sightings of pos-sible debris in the south Indian Ocean, including two objects that could be retrieved soon by an Aus-tralian vessel.
Malaysia’s defense min-ister, Hishammuddin Hus-sein, said that a search aircraft had located two objects and that an Aus-tralian vessel, the Success, was in the vicinity.
“It is possible that the objects could be received within the next few hours, or by tomorrow morning at
the latest,” he said during a Monday evening news con-ference. Hishammuddin said that only a few min-utes ago Australia’s prime minister had informed the prime minister of Malaysia about the development.
If retrieved, the two objects — one described as circular colored gray or green, and the other rectangular and orange — would be the first to be found in this remote sec-tion of the Indian Ocean about 1,500 miles off the coast of southwest Aus-tralia since searchers be-gan focusing on this area Thursday. And they could provide the first physical evidence of the plane that
vanished March 8, with 239 passengers and crew on board.
In recent days there has been a growing number of satellite and aircraft sight-ings of objects in this area that could be wreckage from the missing jetliner.
On Monday, with Chi-nese and Japanese joining an Australian-led team of American and New Zea-land planes, 10 military and commercial aircraft in all combed an area of about 20,000 square nau-tical miles in the south Indian Ocean looking for traces of Flight 370.
Earlier in the day, one of the two Chinese Ilyushin IL-76 aircraft involved in
the search reported seeing “two big floating objects with many white smaller ones scattered within a radius of several kilome-ters,” according to the of-ficial New China News Agency.
After the sighting was reported, the U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon plane sought to relocate the objects but was unable to do so, said the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.
A Chinese vessel was steaming toward the area
to investigate and was ex-pected to arrive in the area by Tuesday morning, the news agency said.
