Supervisors approve two-year contract for engineer

Joni Ernst formally resigns from Iowa Senate

By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA associate [email protected]

The Union County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a new contract at their regularly scheduled meeting Monday for Union County Engineer Steve Akes.

The two-year contract in-cludes a 2 percent raise.

“We were satisfied with the way he works and we work well with him,” Supervisor Ron Riley said. “All of the ne-gotiations were very good.”

Public hearingA public hearing is set for 10 a.m. Dec. 15 for

comments regarding the potential change of two stretches of road on 190th Street and Lark Av-enue in Highland township from “B” classifica-tion to “C.”

According to Iowa Code 309.57, “B” and “C” road classifications must be adequately marked to warn the public they are entering a section of the road which has a lesser level of maintenance effort than other public roads. For “C” roads, the public must be warned of the limited access.

“All the landowners wanted the gates up to keep traffic out,” Riley said. “That section of road doesn’t really go anywhere and it will help keep people from dumping trash or tearing up the roads.”

A “C” classification road may have restrict-ed access and a minimal level of maintenance as specified by the county board of supervisors. The roads can only be classified as “C” by an ordinance or resolution. It may specify who has access to the road and it can be restricted by a gate or barrier.

Public meets to discuss pipeline FORT MADISON (AP) —

Supporters and opponents of a proposed oil pipeline that would cut across Iowa heard from officials Monday as they tried to answer questions about the safety of the proj-ect.

Hundreds of people showed up for the public meeting in Fort Madison about the pro-posed Dakota Access Pipe-line, the Burlington Hawkeye reported. Several other meet-ings were scheduled around the state.

Representatives from the

Iowa Utilities Board, Pipe-line and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and Energy Transfer Partners — the lead company — were present to hear some people express concern about the project’s impact on possible property damage and poten-tial water contamination.

Her father, Harvey Spoonemore and her sister, Karen McKee, preceded her in death.

Patricia Jean Spoone-more, the daughter of Har-vey “Bud” and Lela Fay (Miller) Spoonemore, was born July 8, 1934 at Lenox,

Iowa. She was raised at Le-nox and received her edu-cation there. On October 4, 1950, she was united in mar-riage to Dean Bassett. The couple made their home at Corning, Iowa where Pat worked for the Corning Schools hot lunch program. In 1965, the family moved to Humboldt.

On December 1, 2013, she and Dean moved to an assisted living community in Pace, Florida to be closer to their daughter.

Mrs. Bassett was a mem-ber of the Faith United Methodist Church in Hum-boldt. She was well known for her baking, especially pies, cinnamon rolls, and wedding cakes. An accom-plished seamstress, Pat made many wedding dress-es for area brides including her daughters. She enjoyed knitting and crocheting, playing the piano, and took great pleasure in her par-ticipation in Community Chorus.

Teresa Boswell Corning

Mass of Christian Buri-al for 89 year old T e r e s a M. Bo-swell of Corning, Iowa will be held at 10:30 a . m . , Wednesday, December 3, 2014 at St. Patrick Cath-olic Church with Father Lazarus Kirigia and Father Tan Tran celebrants. Inter-ment will be at the St. Tim-othy Catholic Cemetery/Reno, in rural Cass Coun-ty, Iowa.

Online condolences may be left at pearsonfuneral-homes.com.

Teresa Mary (Eblen) Boswell was born to Glen John and Maude Nell (Star-lin) Eblen on August 9, 1925 at her parent’s home six miles south of Massena. She passed away at Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs on November 30, 2014.

Teresa was the young-est of three children. She and her brothers grew up on the Eblen family farm near Massena. She went to country school a mile south of their home. Her father was a farmer and her moth-er was a nurse. Along with her father, she loved to ride horses.

She attended and grad-uated from Corning High School in the class of 1942. During high school she met her future husband and the love of her life, Bill Boswell. In Teresa’s words: “The first time I saw Bill Boswell was when he stepped on the school bus on my first day of high school. Although we didn’t date for more than two years later, I think it was love at first sight for us both.”

Bill and Teresa were married December 22, 1943 at St. Patrick Catholic Church, Audubon, Ia. They lived in a small house near the Dale and Ethel Calkins farm south of Cumberland. Bill worked for Dale un-til he was drafted into the army in December of 1944. During Bill’s time in the military Teresa and their daughter Connie lived with Teresa’s parents.

When Bill returned from the service in 1946 they moved to the Boswell fam-ily farm north of Corning. Together, they spent the following 40 years farming and raising their family.

Teresa always raised a large vegetable garden and spent many hours canning and freezing produce for her large family. She also raised a flock of chickens

that provided both eggs and meat.

Teresa enjoyed sewing. She made many of her children’s clothes. In lat-er years she designed and sewed many prom, wedding and bridesmaid dresses for her daughters and grand-daughters. She crocheted and quilted cozy blankets and baby quilts for grand-children and great-grand-children. She also embroi-dered beautiful pillow case sets for each of her grand-children.

Teresa’s family was her pride and joy. In later years the first thing she told peo-ple when meeting them for the first time was about her large, wonderful family. She in turn was very much loved by her family. Chil-dren, grandchildren and great-grandchildren looked forward to stopping for one of her “world famous” cinnamon rolls. A child or grandchild who needed a willing ear to listen to a problem or some exciting news in their life, always found one in Grandma who was ready to listen and ei-ther sympathize or cele-brate with them depending on the situation.

Teresa’s faith was of great importance to her and she drew on that faith to guide her throughout her life. She was a devout Cath-olic and a member of St. Timothy Catholic Church south of Cumberland. She was a member of the Altar Society and helped with many wedding showers and receptions, funeral din-ners, fund raisers and other church functions.

Bill and Teresa retired from farming in 1987 and moved to their new home in Corning.

Bill passed away in Au-gust of 1989. Teresa contin-ued to reside in their home in Corning. She joined and was an active member of St. Patrick Catholic Church and Altar Society. She sang in the church choir for sev-eral years. She served as a volunteer at the Dollar Shop and the Meals on Wheels program. She also provided support for many friends and neighbors in the community.

Teresa was preceded in death by her husband Bill Boswell, her parents, her brother, Dale Eblen, broth-er and sister-in-law Dudley and Vivian Eblen, Bill’s parents Fred and Eleanor Boswell, her brother-in-law and sister-in-law Dalton and Lillie Boswell and her nephew, Renny Boswell.

Teresa is survived by her 12 children: Connie Pettinger (Bernard), Dale Boswell (Janet), John Bo-swell (Shirley), Tom Bo-swell (special friend, Karen McClelland), Katie Bren-nan (John), Jenny Sinning (David), Barbara Wimmer (Bob), Patty Mack (Tony), Fred Boswell (Bonnie), Glen Boswell (Rhonda), Teresa Cullen (Jeff), Julie Boswell, 56 grandchildren, 68 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great grandchil-dren.

Trever John Wiebenga, 22, of Dexter was charged with public intoxication and fifth-de-gree criminal mischief 11:32 p.m. Sunday in Adair County.

According to an Adair County Sheriff report, at 9:52 p.m. Sunday, officers arrived at the scene of a motorist assist at the intersection of Stuart Road and Arbor Hill Drive in Adair County. Upon arrival, officers observed a white male driver standing outside a vehicle parked on the shoulder. The subject was later identified as Wiebenga. Officers spoke with Wiebenga about his car problems, and immediately smelled a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath. Wie-benga also had slurred and mumbled speech. His eyes ap-peared bloodshot and watery. His balance was also unsteady. Wiebenga admitted to drink-ing while they were broke down along the roadway. Wiebenga agreed to a prelimi-

nary breath test, and the result was .150 blood alcohol content level. Wiebenga also knowingly committed criminal mischief in the fifth degree by kicking a vic-tim’s vehicle.

Wiebenga was being held on $300 bond.Miscellaneous

READER POLL RESULTSDid the grand jury make the right decision Monday in the Darren Wilson/Michael Brown case in Ferguson, Missouri?

HOLLYWOOD—Happy Tues-day, everybody, and God bless America.

Black Friday lured hordes of shoppers to retail stores for bar-gains Friday. It was calm compared to Thanksgiving dinner. At dinner tables across America Thursday, parents, kids, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins were doing just fine for about fifteen minutes and then someone mentioned Obama.

Amherst University cut off all ties with Bill Cosby due to the ac-cusations swirling around him all during Thanksgiving week. His secret life seems horribly at odds with his public persona. The good news is, he’s just been offered to play the title role in a Broadway play called Dr. Huxtable and Mr. Hyde.

The Las Vegas Tourism and Convention Bureau predicts a record number of tourists in Las Vegas for Christmas through New Year’s Day. There’s just one draw-back. The pollen count is so high this time of year in the Mojave Desert that the junkies are trying to convert their crystal meth back into Sudafed.

President Obama pardoned two turkeys presented to him by the National Turkey Federation at the annual ceremony at the White House Wednesday. Their names are Mac and Cheese. After they received their presidential pardon, the turkeys each received a driv-er’s license and registered Demo-crat.

Mexico’s president Enrique

Pena Nieto proposed issuing a na-tional ID card for Mexican citizens Friday. That would help. If you’re a Mexican and cops pull you over in Mexico, they need to see some-thing more than your Los Angeles water and electricity bill to make sure you aren’t an American.

The New York Mercantile Ex-change saw oil fall to sixty-six dol-lars a barrel Friday after OPEC decided not to cut production. Gasoline is a dollar and a half per gallon cheaper in Los Angeles than just six months ago. Hum-mers have resumed playing soccer on Sunset Boulevard with Smart Cars as the ball.

House Republicans were re-ported considering disinviting President Obama from giving his State of the Union speech in the House Chamber in January. What a shame. This is the speech where the president opens up by saying the State of the Union is strong, and it’s the biggest laugh he gets all year.

A U.S. arbitrator ruled Friday the NFL can’t punish Ray Rice twice for hitting his fiancee in a hotel elevator last summer. Last week, Johnny Manziel got in a fight with a fan on an elevator. Clinical researchers warn that NFL players have developed an

immunity to the calming effect of elevator music.

Episcopalians in Rhode Island opened a museum dedicated to the slave trade in Providence and the church’s role in it. That’s really so overboard. While it’s true that Episcopalians weren’t exactlly welcome in Baptist Rhode Island, the only cotton Episcopalians ever picked was out of an aspirin bottle.

WalMart reported that home electronics, flat-screen TVs and laptops, tablets and smartphones were top sellers on Friday. The Best Buy website was so busy that it crashed for an hour. Everyone would have health care insurance in America if ObamaCare had just offered an iPad with each policy.

The Democratic National Com-mittee emailed talking points to Democrats to slip into the family dinner conversations during this holiday season. It never ends. It’s one thing to criticize the baked po-tatoes, but have the Republicans offered a plan to fix the baked po-tatoes besides repealing them?

President Obama urged Con-gress to pass an immigration re-form bill Tuesday which he said will bring millions of illegals out of the shadows. However, many ille-gals prefer the tax-free life in the shadows, though they would also like to qualify for federal benefits someday. The Democrats are in favor of immigration reform, Re-publicans oppose immigration re-form, and immigrants are still on the fence.

The Ferguson fraud The bitter irony of the Michael

Brown case is that if he had actual-ly put his hands up and said, “Don’t shoot,” he almost certainly would be alive today.

His family would have been spared an unspeakable loss, and Ferguson, Missouri, wouldn’t have experienced multiple bouts of ri-oting, including the torching of at least a dozen businesses the night it was announced that Officer Darren Wilson wouldn’t be charged with a crime.

Instead, the credible evidence suggests that Michael Brown — af-ter an act of petty robbery at a local business — attacked Officer Wilson when Wilson stopped him on the street. Brown punched the officer when he was still in his patrol car, and attempted to take his gun from him.

The first shots were fired inside the car in the struggle over the gun. Then, Brown ran. If he hadn’t put

his hands up, but merely kept run-ning away, he also would almost certainly be alive today. Again, according to the credible evidence, he turned back and rushed Wilson. The officer shot several times, but Brown kept on coming until Wilson finally killed him.

The case is a terrible tragedy. But it isn’t a metaphor for police brutal-ity or race repression or anything else, and it never was. Aided and abetted by a compliant national me-dia, the Ferguson protestors spun a dishonest or misinformed version of what happened — Michael Brown murdered in cold blood while trying to surrender — into a meme and a chant (“Hands up, don’t shoot”),

and then a mini-movement.When the facts didn’t back their

narrative, they dismissed the facts and retreated into paranoid suspi-cion of the legal system. The grand jury process was rigged, they com-plained, because St. Louis pros-ecutor Robert McCulloch didn’t seek an indictment of Wilson and instead allowed the grand jury to hear all of the evidence and make its own decision. Who could really object to a grand jury hearing ev-erything in such a sensitive case?

Then, there is the argument that Wilson should have been indicted so there could be a trial “to deter-mine the facts.” If a jury of Wil-son’s peers didn’t believe there was enough evidence to establish prob-able cause to indict him, though, there was no way a jury of his peers was going to convict him of a crime, which requires the more stringent standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Besides, we don’t try people for crimes they almost certainly didn’t commit just to satisfy a mob that will throw things at the police and burn down local businesses if it doesn’t get its way. If the grand jury had given in to the pressure from the streets and indicted as an act of appeasement, the mayhem most likely would only have been de-layed until the inevitable acquittal in a trial. The agitators of Ferguson have proven themselves proficient at destroying other people’s prop-erty, no matter what the rationale.

Liberal commentators come back again and again to the fact that Mi-chael Brown was unarmed and that, in the struggle between the two, Of-ficer Wilson only sustained bruises to his face. The subtext is that if only Wilson had allowed Brown to beat him up and perhaps take his gun, things wouldn’t have had to escalate.

There is good reason for a po-

lice officer to be in mortal fear in the situation Officer Wilson faced, though. In upstate New York last March, a police officer responded to a disturbance call at an office when suddenly a disturbed man pummeled the officer as he was attempting to exit his vehicle, and then grabbed his gun and shot him dead. The case didn’t become a na-tional metaphor for anything.

Ferguson, on the other hand, has never lacked for media coverage, although the narrative of a police execution always seemed dubious and now has been exposed as, es-sentially, a fraud. “Hands up, don’t shoot” is a good slogan. If only it was what Michael Brown had done last August.

Cosby testimony describes accuser’s spiked story PHILADELPHIA (AP)

— Bill Cosby testified un-der oath in 2005 that he gave the National Enquir-er an exclusive interview about looming sexual-as-sault accusations by a Ca-nadian woman against him in exchange for the tabloid spiking a second accuser’s story.

Excerpts released Wednesday of Cosby’s deposition from a civil law-suit filed by Andrea Con-stand quote Cosby as saying he feared the public would believe her sexual-assault accusations if the Enquirer published similar claims by

Beth Ferrier. Both women accused Cosby of drugging and molesting them.

“Did you ever think that if Beth Ferrier’s story was printed in the National Enquirer, that that would make the public believe that maybe Andrea was also tell-ing the truth?” Cosby was asked.

“Exactly,” Cosby replied, according to court motions initially filed under seal and made available from archived federal court re-cords.

Cosby, in the deposition, said he had a contract with the Enquirer.

“I would give them an exclusive story, my words,” Cosby said in the Sept. 29, 2005, deposition. In return, “they would not print the story of — print Beth’s sto-ry.”

The release of the doc-uments comes after Cosby this month was shown on an Associated Press video trying to persuade the news cooperative not to use his response when asked this month about sexual-abuse allegations.

“I would appreciate if it was scuttled,” Cosby said in

a videotaped exchange with the AP on Nov. 6.

Cosby said in 2005 he had been given a draft of Ferri-er’s interview with the En-quirer and was told she had passed its lie-detector test. He said he also was given an advance look at his ex-clusive, titled “My Story,” which warned that he would defend against anyone try-ing to “exploit” him.

Constand later sued Cos-by and the Enquirer, alleg-ing defamation. The claims were consolidated with her sexual-assault lawsuit

against Cosby and were set-tled.

A representative for American Media, Inc., which owns the National Enquirer, said in an emailed statement Wednesday that the Enquirer was “unflinch-ing” in its coverage of the allegations against Cosby.

“We continue to remain aggressive in our reporting today and stand by the in-tegrity of our coverage of this story which we have taken the lead on for more than a decade,” the repre-sentative said.

Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April

19) Be on the lookout for new sources of income or a new job, because this is possible today. You might see new uses or applications for something you already own.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might develop a new viewpoint or put a new spin on your take on religion, politics — something important. (It’s wise not to be rigid, because the world is constantly chang-ing.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your ability to do research and come up with answers and solutions is excellent today. Dig deep to find what you are looking for.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might attract a power-ful female to you today, or in turn, you might be a powerful female dispensing advice to others. Either way, discussions will cause you to modify your goals.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Private information and secrets about your personal life might be made public today. Fortunately, you can handle the spotlight. No matter how you feel, you can fake it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might encounter a power-ful teacher today or a political speaker. You also might make some ambitious travel plans — who knows?

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be open to suggestions from others about how to handle shared property or debt. If you give things some thought, you can come up with a better way of doing something.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A candid discussion with a friend, spouse or partner could be worthwhile today. Why not put your cards on the table to see if you can improve the rela-

tionship itself?S A G I T T A R I U S

(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Look for ways to introduce reforms

or make improvements where you work, because this is pos-sible today. And it’s also possi-ble to think of ways to improve your health. Bonus!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might see more-ef-fective ways of dealing with children today. This is always good to know. And remem-ber: Criticism does much, but encouragement does more.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Family discussions might come up with meaningful ways to make improvements at home. These improvements could be to your home or to your family dynamic. Or both!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You are convincing today, which is why this is a powerful day for those who sell, market, teach, act or write for a living. Let your words sing!

YOU BORN TODAY You are someone who focuses on your future dreams. You are cre-

ative, often technically so, and what you do often appeals to everyone. You also are very private. This is a testing year of growth and building. This growth will occur beneath the surface. Do not make major changes yet — wait until next year. Strengthen your finan-cial position by reducing your overhead.

Dear Heloise: In the past, you provided names of organi-zations that accepted canceled stamps and old greeting cards. Do you know of any in the California area that take old National Geographic MAG-AZINES? I have always hated to throw out these magazines because of the beautiful pic-tures. — Pat O. in California

Pat, you and millions of my readers feel the same way! Unfortunately, that means millions of magazines, too! Here is a place to start: Call retirement homes, hospitals, schools (especially elementa-ry, where they do a lot of arts and crafts) or prisons in your area. They might have a good use for them. Of course, they can be recycled, too, so don’t feel bad if you put them in the recycle bin!

There also is information on the website www.nation-algeographic.com, where you can post notices about your collection and see others that are available. Any other hints, readers? — Heloise

FLUSHED WATERDear Heloise: My refriger-

ator has a water filter. It has to be replaced approximately every six months. After it is in-stalled, I have to run 2 and 1/2 gallons of water through the

line. Is this water safe to water plants with? I hate just pouring it down the drain. — Shirley B., via email

Hi, Shirley, and thanks for asking a question a lot of peo-ple wonder about. Don’t waste water! Yes, you can use this water for plants, to rinse dish-es or to wipe off countertops. There may be some little bits of gray stuff floating about, but don’t worry — these are just particles of the carbon from the filter that the water runs through. — Heloise

STOP STATICDear Heloise: Winter’s

here, and with drier air comes static electricity. To control it, before getting dressed, just rub a little lotion into your skin. It doesn’t take much.

If you have dressed and the static cling attacks because you forgot lotion, head for the re-stroom. Get your hands barely damp, then rub over whatever is clinging. — Juanita in Ohio

STORAGE RACKDear Heloise: I was going

to toss out an old 18-bottle wine rack. My husband took it to the garage and filled the rack with old golf shoes and tennis shoes. It’s nice to have all those shoes in a neat place and easy to locate. Guess wine racks can hold more than just wine! — Mary Anderson in Las Vegas

NEEDLE THREADERDear Heloise: I use a large

darning needle to weave in the ends of yarn when crocheting. It was tricky to get the yarn through the needle eye. I was looking at needle threaders for that purpose. I now open up a paper clip, and it works. — Rose J., via email

TEA-BAG COVERSDear Heloise: I use tea-bag

covers as little notepapers and never run out. Also, the string tags are great for price tags at yard sales and such. — Fay R., Mayfield, Ky.

Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Anto-nio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

6With Mi-ami’s win Monday night, there are 6 teams tied for the fi nal playoff spot in the AFC at 7-5.

NATIONALDIGEST

THE NUMBERS GAME

Fins stay aliveEAST RUTHER-

FORD, N.J. — The Mi-ami Dolphins found the right formula to stay in the AFC playoff race: Simply let the Jets run the ball all night, and wait for New York to make mistakes.

It worked effectively in an old-fashioned -- some might say dull -- slugfest.Caleb Sturgis’ third field goal, from 26 yards with 1:57 remaining, gave Mi-ami (7-5) a comeback 16-13 victory over its archrival.

New York (2-10) rushed for 277 yards on 49 carries, but made enough key errors in the second half to lose. The Dolphins remained a factor in the wild-card race thanks to special teams; rookie Jar-vis Landry’s eight re-ceptions; Lamar Miller’s 4-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter; and plenty of defense when the Jets needed to pass.Cruz signs

SEATTLE — Vet-eran outfielder Nelson Cruz has agreed to a mul-tiyear deal with the Seat-tle Mariners, pending a physical, a league source confirmed to ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick.

A source told ESPNde-portes.com’s Enrique Ro-jas the two sides agreed on a four-year, $57 million deal that also includes a $1 million signing bonus.

With the Baltimore Orioles last season, the 34-year-old Cruz led the majors with 40 home runs and finished third in the American League with 108 RBIs.AP Poll

Those young Kentucky Wildcats still have a firm grasp on the No. 1 spot in the AP Top 25 poll. And the team they lost to in April’s national cham-pionship game in North Texas no longer is ranked.

Kentucky (7-0), out-scoring opponents by an NCAA-best 36.8 points a game, again got 62 of 65 first-place votes Monday in the new rankings. No. 2 Wisconsin (7-0) was on top of the remaining ballots after winning the Battle 4 Atlantis cham-pionship in the Bahamas last week.

While the top of the poll held steady, Nos. 21-25 are all teams that were unranked last week, high-lighted by No. 21 Mary-land, the highest-ranked newcomer. Among the five falling out was de-fending national cham-pion Connecticut (3-2), which lost its second straight game against a Big 12 team.

Arizona and Duke re-mained third and fourth. Louisville, Texas, Virgin-ia, Wichita State, Gonza-ga and Villanova rounded out the top 10.Woods practices

Asked about his physi-cal health Monday, Tiger Woods said he is fired up for his return to competi-tive golf after recovering from the back injuries that have kept him off the PGA Tour since August.

“I feel great,” Woods said in an appearance on SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio. “I feel really, really good. It’s great to be back out here competing again. I’ve missed it quite a bit.”

Second-half run fuels Panthers past Winterset By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

A timeout with 6:55 re-maining in the third quar-ter made all the difference in the world for the Cres-ton girls basketball team in a 56-43 win over Winterset here on Monday.

The Panthers went into halftime trailing 28-22 to a Winterset team that shot lights out from behind the 3-point arc.

After a lackadaisical turnover gave Winterset an easy layup and a 30-22 lead, Panther head coach Brent Douma called a tim-eout and got after his team, challenging his players to start playing the game.

The Panthers responded with a 19-3 run over the next eight minutes of game play, building a 41-33 lead over the visiting Huskies.

“I just felt we came out flat,” Douma said. “I real-ly thought we’d come out with a little more energy than we did, and I thought it was time to kind of do something different at that point. We just had to get after them a little. I was very happy with how they responded, because I don’t know. I’ve never done that with this group of girls be-fore, so you don’t know how they’re going to react. I was really happy with how they did react.”

Coming out of the tim-eout, Creston clamped down on defense, and in particular, on UNI recruit Mariah Criswell.

Panther senior Natalie

Mostek shadowed Criswell a r o u n d the court for the r e m a i n -der of the game, h o l d i n g her to just four points af-ter the timeout.

“You see she (Criswell) only got six points in the second half and missed three free throws,” Dou-ma said. “So that tells you one, that she’s tired and two, Natalie wore her out

and got her frustrated.“Natalie, you have to

take your hat off to her, because she’s been sick for about four or five days and she was hurting here to-night. She never came out that second half. She just played that girl and Mari-ah had to come out several times. We challenged her to dig down and find some-thing inside, and she did.”

Mostek sparked the Panther run on the other end of the floor, too, with an offensive rebound and putback. She followed it up with a 3-pointer off a

pass from Brenna Baker to draw the Panthers to with-in 30-27. Taylor Briley’s drive for a layup cut it to 30-29.

After Winterset hit a 3-pointer to make it 33-29, the Panthers started pounding the ball inside to Jenna Taylor, who had a mismatch in the post.

in the second half. Alli Thomsen, c o m i n g off the b e n c h , f i n i s h e d with three a s s i s t s on entry p a s s e s that got Taylor open in the post.

“We went smaller to-night, because even going smaller, we were bigger than they were,” Douma said. “We had that mis-match inside with Jenna and Alli fed her over the top a bunch of times on ball reversal. Jenna had some nice, easy layups at that point.”

Mostek and Briley joined Taylor in double figures, as Briley finished with 16 points and Mostek added 13.

Rebounding and free throws were also key to the Panther victory.

Creston pulled down 45 total rebounds, led by Mo-stek’s 14 boards and Tay-lor’s 13. Taylor grabbed five offensive rebounds, as did Cammy Rutherford, who finished with eight to-tal rebounds.

The Panthers also shot 14-of-18 at the free throw line, compared to just 1-7 for Winterset.

“We knocked them down, 14 out of 18 and we made them down the stretch,” Douma said. “You know, when they hit that three (with 1:36 remaining), it’s

Spartans hit 15 threes in 90-58 victory

DES MOINES — South-western men drained 15 3-pointers in running away from Grand View JV Mon-day night, 90-58.

The Spartans sank 10 of their 3-pointers after posting a 39-32 halftime lead.

Southwestern (9-0) took advantage of Grand View’s defensive switch after the opening 10 minutes.

“They were smaller and had some matchup prob-lems in man-to-man when we were getting it inside to Mataika (Koyamainavure) so they zoned us pretty much the whole game after that,” SWCC coach Todd Lorensen said. “We shot it well. We were getting qual-ity looks. We got some pen-e t r a t i o n a g a i n s t the zone and found o p e n s h o o t e r s on the pe-rimeter.”

J o s h

Tolbert and freshman TJ Bower of Nodaway Valley each made four 3-pointers. Jaylon Smith had three tri-ples. Josh Kirk had a team-high 18 points off the bench.

This was the first of sev-en games in 17 days for the Spartans, who hit the road again Wednesday to Tren-ton, Mo., to take on a North Central team they beat 91-82 at home on No. 10.

On Saturday the Spar-tans return home to take on William Penn JV at 3 p.m., after a SWCC Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremo-ny for former Spartan coach and athletic director Bill Krejci between the women’s and men’s games.

MOUNT AYR — A hot-shooting Mount Ayr team took a 42-14 halftime lead in racing past a rebuild-ing Lamoni team Monday night, 72-38.

Lamoni, graduating its top seven players from last year’s state tournament team, couldn’t keep the pace as Mount Ayr shot 9-of-11 from 3-point range. Riley W e e h l e r shot 5-of-6 on threes in finish-ing with 15 points. C a l e b S c h n o o r and Cam-

Coach Bret Ruggles said the team had great post play as well from Rhett Murphy, Lincoln Martin, Kyle Dole-check and Connor Giles, with Martin hauling in 11 re-bounds. Murphy had seven rebounds and “twin towers” Jake Ricker and Jed Mc-Creary each had three re-bounds. Dolecheck had four rebounds and five points.

Lack of Big 12 title game could help TCU, Baylor By LUKE MEREDITHAP Sports Writer

DES MOINES (AP) — The final weekend in the Big 12 will illustrate both the risk and reward that come with the league’s decision to do away with its title game.

The lack of a champion-ship game might not always work out for the Big 12 in the playoff era.

This year, it could help push Baylor and TCU into the final four.

While the rest of the na-tion’s top playoff contenders face title-game showdowns — or elimination games, de-pending on how they play — the Big 12 wraps up its regu-lar season with three games that are part of its round-rob-in schedule with 10 teams.

No. 5 Baylor (10-1, 7-1 Big 12), which was 7th in last week’s playoff standings, will get one more chance to boost its resume when it hosts No. 9 Kansas State (9-2, 7-1) on Saturday. No. 4 TCU (10-1, 7-1) entertains woeful Iowa State (2-9, 0-8), while No. 18 Oklahoma (8-3, 5-3) and Oklahoma State (5-6, 3-5) tangle in Norman.

“I think the fact of the matter is there will be some years, like this one, where we feel just great about where

we are. And there will be other years where we’ll say ‘Gee, we wish we had one more game to play because we might be able to differen-tiate ourselves,” Big 12 Com-missioner Bob Bowlsby said.

The Big 12 hasn’t had a team compete in the national title game since Texas lost to Alabama following the 2009 season. TCU and Baylor each appear to have shots at ending that streak — partly because they don’t face the possibility of a rematch in a league title game.

The team ahead of the fifth-ranked Horned Frogs in last week’s playoff rankings, Mississippi State, lost at Ole Miss and finished the regular season with two losses.

The team behind TCU, Ohio State, beat Michigan. The Buckeyes also lost star quarterback J.T. Barrett for the year with an ankle injury.

But TCU is almost in a no-win situation on Satur-day by playing the struggling Cyclones instead of a fellow championship contender.

The Horned Frogs are expected to blow out Iowa State. But if they struggle like they did against Kansas a few weeks back, the committee might have a reason to re-ex-amine its resume.

That’s why Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads is prepar-

ing to face a team looking for all the style points it can earn.

“They don’t want to leave any doubt in any member of the selection committee that they deserve to be in the top four,” Rhoads said. “We’ve seen all the tape. There’s no question they belong in the final four. But they’ll be go-ing out to leave no doubts in anybody’s minds.”

Baylor will benefit from the Mississippi State loss and the uncertainty with the Buckeyes quarterback situa-tion as well.

The Bears also beat TCU head to head — and a win over K-State would arguably be as impressive as anything Alabama, Oregon and Flor-ida State could pull off this weekend.

“It is what it is. I’m proud to be in the Big 12 confer-ence,” Baylor said Art Briles said of the league’s lack of a title game. “I think we’re do-ing it the right way.”

Bowlsby said the league’s round-robin schedule means that teams have to go through everyone in the league to win the champi-onship — and he added that the NCAA doesn’t allow 10-team leagues to play a title game anyway.

This year, that looks like a good thing for the league.

JUNIOR VARSITYThe Creston JV team im-

proved to 2-0 for the sea-son with a 51-25 win over Winterset on Monday.

The Panthers held Win-terset to just six points in

the second half.“We played hard to-

night,” Creston JV coach Ryan McKim said. “We really pushed tempo and got after them on defense. I was really proud of our effort.”

Caitlin McIlravy was ac-tive on the defensive end and led the Panthers with 16 points. Lexie Little add-ed 14 points, while Mad-ison Callahan chipped in 12.

Creston (51) — Caitlin McIlravy 16, Lexie Little 14, Madison Callahan 12, Alli Thomsen 7, Logan Pettit 3. Halftime score — Creston 31, Winterset 19.

FRESHMENThe Creston freshmen

opened their season with a 19-16 win over Winterset in a two-quarter game on Monday.

“This was an unbeliev-able effort by the girls,” Creston freshman coach Anthony Donahoo said. “We were playing soph-omores and a few juniors and these freshmen girls just went out there and hustled. We only have six suited freshmen, so this group will be well-condi-tioned this year.”

Taylor Fredrickson led the Panthers with six points.

By KYLE WILSON CNA managing [email protected] The Union County Freedom

Rock — being painted this week by

Ray “Bubba” Sorensen — will soon

have some company.Trinity Lutheran Church in Cres-

ton has offered to donate five, 20-foot

flag poles and all five military flags for

the Freedom Rock site at the city’s

welcome center on New York Ave-

nue. Creston City Council approved

this donation Tuesday evening.“We wanted to give back to the

community,” said Gene Cook with

Trinity Lutheran Church, “and what

better way is there than putting up the

five armed service flags and honoring

our veterans who have given us this

free country.”The church plans to pay for all costs

associated with flag pole installation.

This project also will include moving

and replanting two trees at the wel-

come center.Sorensen said this morning about

30 percent of the Freedom Rock is

painted and expects the rock to be

done by the end of the week.The church plans to order the poles

and flags immediately with hope they

can be installed before Veterans Day

(Nov. 11). Flags will include Army,

Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and

Coast Guard.Denny Abel, quartermaster for the

Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)

Post 1797, is planning a dedication

ceremony on Veterans Day at the

Freedom Rock site.“The flags will really dress up the

site,” Abel said. “We’re going to have

a dedication ceremony at the rock

on Veterans Day unless we have in-

climent weather and then it will be at

the high school gymnasium. I plan to

have everyone there whose donat-

ed money or time to the Freedom

Rock.”

�� All five military branches will be represented.

Flags to be ordered immediately with hopes of

being ready for dedication ceremony Nov. 11.

Branstad hails Christie’s veto of hog crate ban

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad on Monday praised Gov. Chris Christie’s veto of a ban on crates for sows but says the New Jersey Republican’s ac-tion wasn’t influenced by the 2016 Iowa cau-cuses.

B r a n s -tad called Christie’s F r i d a y veto of legislation outlawing gestation crates a “good decision” and argued the action allows farmers to protect young pigs from being crushed by heavy sows.

New Jersey has few hogs but Iowa raises more than 20 million hogs annually. Some argue Christie’s veto was in-fluenced by Iowa’s early vot-ing status. Christie is weighing a bid for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

But Branstad, who noted he had discussed the issue with Christie, said he doesn’t think presidential politics was a factor in the decision.

“I did share with Gov. Christie my personal experi-ence and my interest in this and that of the Iowa Farm Bureau and the Iowa Pork Producers,” said Branstad, a Republican. “I give him credit for listening to and un-derstanding that this is some-thing we’re very concerned about.”

“And it does impact con-sumers as well,” he said. Ac-cidental deaths of young pigs

can reduce the supply and raise pork prices, Branstad said.

Gestation crates became common in the 1980s as a way to standardize feeding of sows and keep the ani-mals from fighting with other pigs. But in the past couple of years, more companies have begun phasing out the crates as consumers have responded to animal welfare advocates who argue it’s cruel to confine sows to the narrow stalls.

Wayne Pacelle, president and chief executive officer of the Humane Society of the United States, responded with a statement noting that gestation crates typically are used before piglets are born and that the bill vetoed by Christie didn’t restrict the use of other crates that could pro-tect baby pigs.

The decisions and posi-tions of would-be presidential candidates on issues relat-ed to Iowa often are viewed through a political lens.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty claimed to be taking a stand against farm subsidies in 2011 by calling for phasing out a tax cred-it for ethanol, even though Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley already had said the tax cred-it had served its purpose of launching the renewable fuel additive.

education policy. He served as edu-cation secretary under George H.W. Bush, as president of the University of Tennessee and as Tennessee governor.

He says that “excessive regulation of local schools by Washington is get-ting in the way of better schools.” He and House Education and Workforce Chairman John Kline, R-Minn., say the federal government needs to get out of the business of deciding what to do about low-performing schools, education standards and teacher eval-uations.

But, Alexander has also acknowl-edged the political reality — even if Congress passes a bill, Obama would need to sign it to become law.

“We’ll work with Secretary Duncan and the president in hopes we can per-suade them that what we want to do is

also what they want to do,” Alexander said, referring to Obama’s education secretary, Arne Duncan.

Recent history shows just how diffi-cult that can be.

In 2013, a bill to update No Child Left Behind backed by Kline passed the full House with no Democratic support. The Senate Education Com-mittee, led by Democrats, passed a bill the same year with no Republicans on board. It would have put more control in the hands of states but would have given the federal education secretary more leverage than Kline’s plan.

Alexander also put forward his own bill last year. Like Kline’s bill, it wouldn’t have rolled back the annual testing requirement under No Child Left Behind.

Both lawmakers have said they are open to making adjustments to their proposals, and Alexander has said

he believes there are questions to be asked about whether all the federally mandated annual tests are appropriate and whether states should decide how to assess their students.

Obama and Duncan have shown steadfast support for annual standard-ized testing as a way to chart student growth and track how historically un-derserved groups are faring.

A push by teachers’ unions to push back standardized tests and new Com-mon Core standards and assessments rolling out in much of the country have stoked the debate, said Anne Hyslop, a senior policy analyst with Bellwether Education Partners.

“I think there is agreement that par-ents need information about their stu-dents, but where is that information coming from, and who’s requiring it, is where there’s a lot of debate,” Hyslop said.
