A new smartphone application will provide trail users across the state of Iowa the ability to find and document their experiences on the state’s more than 18,000 miles of multiple-use trails.

Iowa Natural Heritage Founda-tion Communication Director Han-nah Inman said the free application named Iowa by Trails will launch the central Iowa version May 1. In-formation for the entire state will launch during RAGBRAI.

“Iowa does not have a statewide entity over the trail system,” Inman said. “People have always come to us for information, so we have pro-vided maps out of necessity.”

The current version is only avail-

able for the iPhone, but Inman is hopeful fundraising and the design for the Android version will be com-pleted this fall.

Inman said the maps were not easy to update or expand upon, so INHF partnered with Shift Interac-tive to design a smartphone applica-tion. Creston High School graduate Matt Glynn was one of the main de-signers for the project.

“It creates a whole new experi-ence and allows people to start look-ing at trail use in a different way,” Glynn said. “The user can add pho-tos so people can see actual photo-graphs of the trail and points of in-terest along the way.”

New business manager to be hired for Creston Schools By BAILEY POOLMANCNA staff reporter [email protected]

Creston Superintendent Steve McDermott announced during Creston School District’s regularly scheduled meeting that the district was in search of a new business man-ager.

Roy Stroud is the current Cres-ton Schools busi-ness manager.

“Our previous business manager had health issues that accumulated, and he needed time to address those health needs,” said Creston Superintendent Steve McDermott. “At this point, it appears that his challenges will not allow him to re-turn to work.”

Business managers oversee school finance and school business issues or duties. These include payroll, paying

HOG FACTORIES FOR ADAIR COUNTY?Livestock Factories Impact County Residents Wherever We Live.

Reasons for YOU to be ConcernedENVIRONMENTIowa Water Pollution Nutrients, including nitrates and bacteria from over-concentrated animal production, has caused Iowa to be ranked 49th in the nation for impaired waters. Who is 50th? Mississippi. In 2002, the Department of Natural Resources reported 238 impaired waterways in Iowa. By 2008, that number had grown to 542 impaired waterways and, today, that number stands at 630. As those numbers have grown, so have the costs for cities to make water safe for drinking. Who pays that cost? You, the consumer. Bill Stowe of the Des Moines Waterworks is outspoken about the difficulty and expense of removing nitrates from the Raccoon and Des Moines rivers to make drinking water safe. Hog numbers in our state have risen to well over 20-million head in the past 10 years with no sign of decreasing. Manure spills from CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations) have doubled in that time. Manure spills into our lakes and rivers are often a result of operator negligence---pit overflows, transport leakage and sometimes plain negligence. USDA studies show that factory farmers often intentionally saturate manure on nearby fields to cut trans-portation costs, or simply because pits are full and they must be emptied. Only 18% apply manure at agronomic rates.Air Pollution Toxic gaseshydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and particulate matter—can severely impact the health of neighbors. Especially if those neighbors are very young, very old, or have an impaired respiratory system. University of Iowa research indicates increased levels of respiratory allergies and asthma in children living near CAFOs or attending nearby schools. Neighbors often spend days at a time indoors when nearby CAFO emissions are at high levels or the wind is from a certain direction, or if there is no wind and emissions settle in low areas in the surrounding terrain.Protection Iowa’s DNR is often underfunded and does not have staff to properly monitor and control pollution from CAFOs. Sincere and concerned DNR staff are hamstrung by weakened rules and political interference. Iowa has over 8,000 confined livestock operations and a DNR staff of less than 20 to see that regulations are properly enforced for the health of all Iowans.

ECOMOMIC IMPACTDevalued Homes Homes within 2 miles of a CAFO can lose up to 50% of their resale value according to Midwest appraisal studies. Some owners cannot sell their homes at all! Older Adair Countians often depend on the sale of their homes or acreages to help fund a move to town or to a care facility. Young people and retirees may think twice about coming “back home.” Residences that lose value will pay fewer taxes into county coffers. And those eventually abandoned will result in lost county revenues.Local Businesses Tourists, visitors and campers visit local attractions, spending their dollars in county stores, businesses and other venues. Per capita income and main street retail sales rise. Those dollars circulate throughout our communities, as well as sales taxes going into county rev-enues. But research shows local tourism is impacted and poverty levels rise where CAFOs prolifer-ate. Campers often can’t swim in polluted Iowa lakes, or eat the fish they catch.County Tax Revenue Keep in mind that - because ag taxes are based on productivity of the land - new building sites for CAFOs produce no added tax revenue for the county. Yet CAFO owners receive tax breaks for manure pits! Paradoxically, new commercial businesses will generate new commercial tax revenues for the county as do newly built homes.Public Roads/Bridges Manure tankers pulled by tractors do not have load limits as do trucks and trailers. So Adair County roads and bridges are subject to increased wear and tear with no new tax revenue to help pay for higher maintenance. In addition, if there is a serious manure spill on roads or in ditches, the county must clean it up---at taxpayer expense, of course.

When all is taken into account, the Factory Farm industry creates many losses for citizens versus financial gain for a very few owners. Take a hard look at this “industry” and speak up

for quality of life, for families, for farms, for neighborhoods and communities.

started during his 10 years on the Ankeny park board.

After starting up Shift Interactive in 2011 with a couple business partners, Glynn started working on a trail application for West Des Moines.

“It started as a fun side project,” Glynn said. “I had a friend who w o r k e d with the city of West Des M o i n e s and they b e c a m e i n t e r -ested in purchasing the app in beta form.”

Inman said INHF saw the beta version for West Des Moines and started dreaming of the possibilities of Iowa by Trails.

“We do so much for the trails in Iowa and trying to get people outside so the idea for the app really fit into our mission statement,” Inman said. “We started fundraising about a year ago.”

Glynn, 45, said the process of creating a phone applica-tion is three main parts: figur-

ing out the story, coding and testing.

“We spend the first third really working on the design and flow of the user experi-ence,” Glynn said. “We want to see how users will progress through the app — where they start and where they stop — to try to make it user friendly.”

Once a basic frame of the storyline is complete, coders go to work making the visual concepts a hand-held reality.

“Then we starting testing pretty much weekly,” Glynn said. “We have people talk to us as they are using it to see how they think it should work. Inherently, how they think it should work may not match up with app.”

GoalsInman said the staff at

INHF recently received ac-cess to Iowa by Trails as the last tests are being complete.

“We have this great re-source here in Iowa,” Inman said. “This is a great tool to leverage the assets of Iowa trails to local community members.”

Inman and Glynn have hopes that Iowa by Trails will help build awareness for trails and tighten the commu-nity that uses them through

social media.Eventally, INHF hopes

communities see a return on economic development trails can bring to an area.

“It can be used as a tour-ism tool to show users where to eat, stay and sites to see

along the trail and nearby,” Inman said.

The launch party kicks off at 4:30 p.m. May 1 at the River Walk Hub in downton Des Moines. Search Iowa by Trails on Facebook to find and like the app’s page.

Telephone scammers busy MOUNT PLEASANT

(MCT) — Area sheriffs’ offices are warning resi-dents about getting phone calls that use “spoofing,” a method in which scammers mask their real identity by displaying a fake telephone number that appears local.

The Henry County Sher-iff’s office said a call was reported of someone at-tempting to receive pay-ment for all edged damage to a vehicle.

Such calls likely origi-nate from another country, according to the sheriff’s office, which is warning

people to be aware about scams and to not give out personal information.

In other instances, spoof-ers are calling residents in Washington County claiming to be a Washing-ton County Sheriff’s office employee and manipulat-ing caller ID to show (319) 653-2107, an actual number to the sheriff’s office.

Saturday, April 19, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

For the next month, your focus will shift to money, earnings and cash flow. But at a deeper level, you

will be wondering what your true values are. What really matters?

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The next four weeks will recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. Favorable cir-cumstances and people will be attracted to you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You will like to work alone or behind the scenes in the month ahead. You need to catch your breath and get your ducks in a row.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your month ahead will be popular! Accept all invitations. Join clubs, groups and asso-ciations. Enjoy good times with friends.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is the only time all year when the Sun acts like a spot-light on you. This light is flat-tering, which is why people are impressed with you. Milk this!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) In the month ahead, you need to get outta Dodge. Do any-thing that expands your hori-zons and gives you a sense of adventure and thrills.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You will feel intense about issues in the month ahead. You will be passionate about how you share things or divide property. You will be equally passionate about romance and love.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Because the Sun is opposite your sign for the next month, you need more rest. The Sun is your source of energy, and it’s as far away from you as it gets all year.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Do what you can to get better organized so you are on top of your scene. You want everything in its place and a place for everything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A playful, creative month ahead! The next four weeks are the perfect time to enjoy flirta-tions, playful getaways, sports events, the arts and fun times with children.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) For the coming month, your focus swings to home and

family. Interactions with a par-ent could be significant. Take every opportunity to cocoon and relax.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) The tempo of your days will accelerate in the month ahead. Short trips, errands and conversations with everyone will keep you on the go. You will love this quickening pace!

YOU BORN TODAY You work steadily, with discipline, for what you want. You believe in building something from the

ground up because you want the assurance of security and control over what you create. This year is a year of choic-es for you. Be wise and save your money, especially in the first half of the year. Reduce expenses to prepare for possi-ble challenges late in the year.

Birthdate of James Franco, actor; Maria Sharapova, tennis champion; Hayden Christensen, actor.

Dear Heloise: Could you please reprint what “OR-GANIC” means? I am a little confused. - A Reader, via email

Happy to help clear up any confusion. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for crops to be considered certified organ-ic, it means that no synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, prohibited pesticides, irra-diation or genetically modi-fied organisms were used.

For livestock, no growth hormones or antibiotics can be used, and they have to meet certain health and wel-fare standards.

There are three labels you might come across: “100 percent organic,” “organic” and “made with organic in-gredients.”

“100 percent organic” is just as the label says - 100 percent of it was made us-ing organic ingredients. “Organic” means at least 95 percent of it was made with organic ingredients, and “made with organic in-gredients” means at least 70 percent of its ingredients are organic.

If food has a “USDA Or-ganic” seal, it means that it has been certified organic and has met all of the stan-dards required when a government-approved certi-fied inspector inspected the product. - Heloise

aprons when cooking. When I would wash them, the straps would get tangled up. Now, before I put them in the laundry, I fold up the straps and rubber-band them, and they don’t get tangled. - Rhea in Tennes-see

(BPT) - It’s a well-known fact that few Americans ac-tually get the recommended daily dose of vitamins. Many turn to over-the-counter supplements to fill in nutri-tional gaps. But wouldn’t it be better - not to mention tastier - to get needed nu-trients from what you eat? This season, why not turn your vegetable and herb garden into a “vitamin gar-den?”

Fortunately, many vita-min-packed vegetables and herbs are easy to grow. Har-dy, bountiful varieties like those from Bonnie Plants make it even easier to claim vitamin victory in your veg-gie garden. Studies show that gardeners tend to eat more fruits and vegetables than non-gardeners, and nothing beats the flavor and freshness of home-grown veggies, fruits and herbs. In addition to the many health benefits gardening delivers, such as gentle exercise, fresh air and sunshine, growing your own vegetables can help ensure you meet vita-min requirements.

While gardening is great exercise, starting a garden is actually an easy task. With

just an hour a day, you can start a small backyard gar-den, or even grow your own vegetables in pots. Just start with transplants, instead of seed; they’ll save time and effort, and provide you with an earlier harvest. Choose a sunny spot with good drain-age, and make sure the soil is in shape to receive plants by soil-kit testing, and amending when necessary. Feed your food plants, wa-ter regularly and don’t for-get to patrol for pests.

Ready for your garden? Try these gardener-friendly, high-powered vegetables and herbs that can ensure your diet is full of flavorful, vitamin-rich foods:

Herbs• Basil - Low in calories

and cholesterol-free, basil is a rich source of many essen-tial nutrients, minerals and vitamins. It contains excep-tionally high levels of beta-carotene and vitamin A.

• Oregano - High in anti-oxidants, oregano has both antibacterial and antifungal properties.

• Rosemary - Another an-tioxidant herb, rosemary is used to fight inflammation. It’s a good source of vitamin

A, thiamin and magnesium.Veggies• Bonnie Spinach - Spin-

ach contains more than half the recommended daily val-ue of vitamin A and is high in vitamins C, K , E, folate, manganese, magnesium, iron and potassium. Natu-rally low in calories, spinach grows well in spring, sum-mer and fall, producing high yields of large, nutrient-rich leaves.

• Tomatoes - Considered a super food, tomatoes de-liver high doses of vitamins C, A, K and B6, and miner-als such as potassium and

lycopene. Hugely versatile, they’re a great ingredient in a variety of culinary styles, or equally yummy eaten on their own. Bonnie Plants has a range of new, easy-to-grow tomato varieties for 2014, including the Bilt-more (which ripens a large amount of fruit all at once), and the San Marzano, pro-ducing high yields and keeps producing right up until first frost. Check out the “Toma-to Chooser” tool on Bonnie Plants’ website to make it easy to find the variety you want. Select traits you’re seeking and the tool will list

the varieties that match!• Peppers - Another ver-

satile veggie available in a wealth of varieties, peppers deliver fiber, folate, manga-nese, potassium, copper and vitamins A, C, K and B6. Many types, such as Bon-nie Green Bell peppers, are very easy to grow, and oth-ers, like the Giant Marconi, deliver high yield and pro-duce early in the season.

• Squash - Popular and prolific varieties like zuc-chini and yellow squash re-quire minimal care to pro-duce hefty harvests. Green zucchini deliver vitamins

C, K and B6, as well as fo-late, manganese and potas-sium. Yellow squash - either crookneck or straight neck - are easy to grow, early to mature and particularly high in vitamin C.

And what’s the one vita-min every single veggie and herb in your garden deliv-ers? You can count vitamin D - the true “sunshine vita-min” among the nutritional benefits of vegetables, herbs and gardening. While you’re outside working in the gar-den, your body is turning all that sunlight into much-needed vitamin D.

Added to the vitamin val-ue of veggies and herbs are the exercise and relaxation that derive from gardening. This summer, why not focus on growing your vitamins rather than getting them from a bottle? They’ll taste better than anything that comes from the pharmacy, plus you’ll reap health, well-ness, and the many mental and physical benefits of gar-dening.

For more information on varieties, how-to’s, trouble shooting and even recipes, visit www.bonnieplants.com.

On “Beat Bobby Flay,” when chef Flay’s world-fa-mous tacos were bested by Brian Tsao’s Korean beef and kimchi version, the not-so-happy Bobby found out the hard way that fermented cabbage (that’s sauerkraut and kimchi) is just what’s needed to create a tasty, healthful meal (and an en-tertaining TV show).

Wanna give sauerkraut a try? Shred about five pounds of cabbage; then sprinkle it with three tablespoons of salt (it preserves the cab-bage while fermentation be-gins). Place the cabbage in a pot with a weighted lid. Af-ter a couple of days, or lon-ger, in a cool environment, the sugar in the cabbage converts into lactic acid. That prevents the cabbage from rotting and encourages the growth of lactobacilli — the probiotics also found in yogurt. (These bacteria bol-ster immune strength and help ease intestinal distress, including constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.) For kimchi, before you start fermenting, add red pepper paste, ginger and garlic to the basic sauerkraut recipe.

If you don’t make the sauerkraut or kimchi your-self, just make sure you’re getting all their health ben-efits and flavor when you buy them: Choose only raw and unpasteurized products, surrounded by a lot of liq-uid in the jar. It’s true that all fermented foods — that’s also miso, tempeh and kefir — contain gut-friendly bac-teria. But cabbage (broccoli and Brussels sprouts, too) also has anti-cancer com-pounds called glucosino-lates. So get sweet on sauer, and add kimchi or sauer-kraut to veggie dumplings

or toss into a slaw and use them as condiments with stew or soup.

OAT CUISINE You may think oatmeal

is bland and old-fashioned, but to true believers it’s fla-vorful and versatile. If you Google it, 12 million results appear, and it has inspired a website called The Oatmeal Artist and a series of comics at

TheOatmeal.com. But if you’re like most people, your experience with oat-meal is probably limited to granola, granola bars (of-ten sugar-packed and calo-rie-dense), cookies (more sugar) and instant cup-of-breakfast servings (you’re not getting the whole-grain nutrients of oats). So here’s the latest news on what you’re missing.

Opt for eating whole oats: Steel-cut oatmeal (it’s chopped up) takes the longest to digest, has the lowest glycemic index and is the least processed. Rolled flakes are steamed, rolled and toasted (they’re still whole, but not quite as hearty as the steel cut). Both deliver soluble fiber — including beta-glucan — that lowers lousy LDL cho-lesterol, eases constipation, controls appetite, keeps good gut bacteria happy and boosts your immune defense against infection. Whole oats also serve up protein, several B vitamins (B-1, B-6, folate, niacin and more) and minerals such as zinc and manganese. But

the big news is that oats and oats alone contain an anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer compound called AVE (av-enanthramide).

So start the day with a bowl of whole oats (no added sugar), fresh fruit and a dollop of nonfat, no-sugar-added Greek yogurt, and get oat-creative. Try oat and walnut non-meatballs, sprinkle crunchy oat groats on salads and use oats for toppings on veggie casse-roles. That’s haute oat cui-sine!

PAP TEST VERSUS HPV/DNA SCREENING

Marissa Jaret-Winokur (Tracy Turnblad in the Broadway version of “Hair-spray”) was diagnosed with cervical cancer after a Pap smear identified rogue cells in her cervix. She had a hys-terectomy but spared her ovaries, and seven years lat-er gave birth to a son using a surrogate! That Pap test did its job well. But now an Food and Drug Administra-tion advisory committee has unanimously recommended a human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA test replace the Pap test as the first line check for cervical cancer in women 25 and older.

Why make the change? The Pap smear is a lab exam of cervical cells that deter-mines if they look precan-cerous or cancerous. And it delivers a lot of false posi-tive and false negative re-sults. The HPV/DNA test checks inside your cervical cells and correctly IDs can-

cer-causing strains of HPV 16 and 18 (plus 12 other high-risk strains) 90 percent to 95 percent of the time.

But that doesn’t mean you should skip your Pap right now. Since Pap tests were introduced in the 1940s, the death rate for cervical cancer has plummeted 70 percent. So until the Food and Drug Administration decides if they’ll accept the committee recommenda-tions, healthy women should get a Pap test every three years from age 21 (more of-ten if suspect cells are seen). And between ages 30-65 the America Cancer Soci-ety says it’s smart to have co-testing with both the Pap and HPV test (there’s an approved version already). And even if it’s not your year for a cervical cancer screening, see your doc for a wellness checkup.

THROWING IN THE TAU (TO EVALUATE CONCUSSIONS)

A couple of seasons ago, 35 of 288 players in the Swedish Hockey League suffered concussions in the first half of their season! That’s when the Swedes started testing for T-tau proteins in injured athletes’ blood. These tau proteins are biomarkers, released when there’s a concussion. (They’re also biomarkers for conditions such as Al-zheimer’s and Parkinson’s.) It turns out that tau levels peak during the first hour after a concussion, and the peak levels indicate the se-verity of the injury and how long symptoms will persist. Tau levels drop off in the next 12 hours, but often they’re still higher than they should be six days later.

This simple and effec-

tive assessment objectively determines how badly the brain was traumatized (it’s often not obvious), and it’s going make T-tau blood-testing kits standard tools one day.

Now the NFL is testing a PET-based brain scan to detect tau proteins, as it ex-plores their connection to chronic traumatic encepha-lopathy (CTE) in several retired players. It’s the first time these proteins have been ID’d in a living player suspected of having CTE. Before, as they did for Hall of Fame Center Mike Web-ster, who suffered multiple concussions that led to CTE, they had to analyze brain tissue postmortem.

Anyone with a concus-sion, young or old, amateur adventurer or professional athlete, might benefit from getting T-tau protein lev-els measured. Tests can be done at the hospital using cerebral-spinal fluid. Know-ing when it’s safe to return to the field can keep you in the game — for the long run!

NEW (AND OLD) SO-LUTIONS FOR HIGH ANXIETY

“High Anxiety” may have been Mel Brooks’ idea of funny, but it’s no laughing matter for more than 7 mil-lion North Americans who struggle with the insomnia, headaches, muscle tension, eating problems (too much or not enough) and relation-ship conflicts that general anxiety disorder can trigger. But there have been some interesting treatment ap-proaches making the news.

A free smartphone app called Personal Zen, de-signed by a clinical psy-chologist, offers an anxiety-

reducing game that helps shift your attention away from a seemingly threaten-ing situation or thought to a nonthreatening one. But immediately we wondered: “What if my battery dies? Or there’s an incoming call while I’m using the app?” So if you’re trying this, we suggest you find a quiet spot and put your phone on air-plane mode.

Then there’s the recent study that suggests you shouldn’t try to calm down. Instead, reframe your feel-ings by convincing yourself that you’re excited, a far more positive revved-up feeling, say the researchers. We say that may work if you’re nervous about public speaking, but not if you’re fretting about paying your bills or losing your job; those thoughts are never exciting!

We like a third approach: According to Johns Hop-kins researchers, mindful meditation can ease anxiety symptoms for some folks as well as medication can. Dai-ly, sit comfortably in a quiet room for 10 minutes. Close your eyes. Breathe slowly, in and out. If thoughts pop into your brain, expel them as you exhale. You’ll de-crease your stressful feel-ings, reduce inflammation and release feel-good brain chemicals.

The next meeting will be held June 20, 2014, at the Henry A. Wallace Center. Executive Board meeting will begin at 8:45 a.m., fol-lowed by the general meet-ing at 9 a.m. Planning of the programs for the next year will be the main focus of the meeting. Lunch will follow at 11 a.m.

Ladies Literary Circle

Creston Ladies Liter-ary Circle met on April 4, 2014, at the home of Susan Weight with Linda Hartsock as co-hostess. Fifteen mem-bers answered roll call.

President Marcia Fulton called the meeting to or-der. The minutes of the last meeting were read and ap-proved. Vera Fengler gave the treasurer’s report which was also approved.

A discussion was held on the duties of active mem-bers. Marcia tabled the dis-cussion until the next meet-ing.

The spring luncheon will be held on May 7, 2014, at 12 p.m. rather than 1 p.m. as in the past. The program will start at 1 p.m. with other local book clubs to be in-vited. It was suggested that a reporter be invited to the lunch. A sign-up sheet was passed around for members to indicate if they will be at the luncheon.

At the next meeting, a sign-up sheet was passed around for member to in-dicate if they will be at the luncheon.

The next meeting will be at the home of Dora Coen with Judy Gile as reviewer. The meeting was adjourned.

Midge Scurlock intro-duced Dottie Dunphy who reviewed the book “In the Shadow of the Banyan,” a compelling, yet horrifying story of a young girl and her experiences with the Khym-er Rouge.

Following the review, Linda served delicious coco-nut and chocolate cakes.

Iowa Public Radio requests funding boost

(MCT) — A change in the leadership of Iowa Public Radio last year hampered fundraising efforts and has prompted officials to ask the Board of Regents for an unplanned boost in funding.

The board of directors for Iowa Public Radio — which was established by the Board of Regents in 2004 to oversee public radio op-erations licensed to Io-w a ’ s p u b l i c u n i v e r -s i t i e s — ap-p r o v e d its 2012-2 0 1 6 strategic plan in 2011.

T h e plan in-cluded an annual funding schedule that decreased re-gent funding and increased private support with the goal of making IPR finan-cially independent by the 2017 budget year.

Large donor fundraising was “key” to increasing pri-vate support, according to a funding request made pub-lic this week by the Board of Regents.

“However, IPR had an extended period with inter-im leadership, which result-ed in interrupting the plan to increase funding from large donors,” according to the request.

IPR received $944,800 from the regent universi-ties in the 2013 budget year, $826,700 in the current budget year, and it’s slated to get $708,600 in 2015, ac-cording to the approved funding schedule. But the IPR board is asking regents to revert to the 2013 fund-ing level of $944,800 for next year.

“This will allow IPR’s new executive director and board of directors to launch a large donor effort and to update the strategic plan,” according to the request.

The additional $236,200 in regent support for 2015 will, according to IPR lead-

ership, allow them to de-velop a “sustainable model that will result in meeting its financial goals in the fu-ture.” IPR plans to review its strategic plan and pro-vide a “revised university support funding plan” to the regents.

According to the request, IPR plans to use about $500,000 in reserves to cover costs this budget year and to “spend conservative-ly” and find savings to keep next year’s costs down.

The IPR board in Febru-ary 2013 voted to fire Mary Grace Herrington, who had been the system’s chief ex-ecutive officer since 2009. In follow-up media reports, board members discussed some of the reasons behind her firing, including work-place environment issues and Herrington’s manage-ment style.

Herrington later received a $197,000 settlement with IPR after the board public-ly discussed the personnel matter. The settlement was for “emotional distress and other compensatory dam-ages.”

In exchange, Herrington released all her claims against IPR.

Following a monthslong search, Myrna Johnson was named IPR’s new ex-ecutive director in January. Johnson has more than 30 years of experience in the non-profit sector, including eight years in the govern-ment affairs office of Na-tional Public Radio.

She grew up in rural northwest Iowa and has a bachelor’s degree from Wartburg College and a master’s degree in public administration from Har-vard’s Kennedy School of Government.

The Board of Regents could discuss the IPR fund-ing request at its meeting in Council Bluffs next week.

Frank Haith has verbally agreed to leave Mis-souri and become the next men’s head basket-ball coach at Tulsa, ac-cording to ESPN.com. Haith takes over for the recently departed Danny Manning, who is now the Wake Forest head coach.

Haith has spent the last three seasons in Co-lumbia, compiling a 76-28 record and making the NCAA Tournament twice. Last season Haith guided the Tigers to a 23-12 record and a berth in the National Invitation Tournament, where the team lost to Southern Mississippi in the second round.

DURHAM, N.C. — After much deliberation, Jabari Parker has decided to forgo the final three years of eligibility at Duke and declare for the 2014 NBA Draft.

In his lone season at Duke, Parker lived up to the hype as he averaged 19.1 points and 8.7 re-bounds per game. He set Duke records in points, rebounds, and double-doubles for a freshman.

Various reports had said that Parker nearly re-turned for his sophomore season, but decided in the end it was best for him to go pro.

“I realize how much of a privilege and an honor it is to join the ranks of the NBA. I will do every-thing in my power to help deliver championships to the franchise that drafts me. At the same time, I recognize the obligation to represent the league in an admirable way off the court,” Parker said in an essay he wrote for Sports Illustrated.

With Parker now de-clared, he is expected to compete for the number one overall spot. The draft will be held on June 26.Shields dominant

HOUSTON — James Shields struck out 12 over eight stellar innings of one-run ball as the Kansas City Royals beat the Houston Astros, 5-1, to complete a three-game sweep.

Shields (1-2) allowed four hits and walked two, while Norichika Aoki and Alex Gor-don tallied a pair of hits and two runs scored for Kansas City, which improved to 7-7 on the young campaign.

Scott Feldman (2-1) surrendered five runs -- four earned -- on nine hits and a walk over six frames for the Astros, who have lost four in a row and five of their last six.

Records fall at Panther RelaysUnofficially, Panthers qualify two for Drake

By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

Three meet records fell here Thursday on a perfect night for track and field at the Panther Relays.

Creston junior Jay Wolfe was a part of two of those meet records, while the Mount Ayr distance med-ley relay team claimed the other record.

The buildup to Thurs-day created a highly-an-ticipated showdown in the 4x800 relay between Cres-ton, Harlan and Mount Ayr. All three teams had run 8:28.00 or better this season and had a Drake Relays qualifying time on their minds on the final day for qualifications.

The race was as exciting as promised, as all three teams broke the previous meet record in the event.

Wolfe’s 1:56 anchor leg was the dif-f e r e n c e , as Cres-ton pulled away for the win in 8:09.07, ahead of M o u n t A y r ’ s 8:12.11 and Harlan’s 8:13.78.

The 8:09.07 run by Bryce Briley, Cooper McDer-

mott, Brandon Phipps and Wolfe also broke the school record, set at last year’s State Qualifying Meet.

Unofficially, as of 12:01 a.m. today, that time also gives the Panthers the 16th and final qualifying spot for the Drake Relays in the event.

“Getting under 8:10, that was a big boost,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “Not only setting a

school record, but setting a meet record. Holy cow. That relay is on a roll right now. I don’t see that stop-ping anytime soon.”800 record

Wolfe came back later in the evening to break the meet record in the 800 me-ter run, set in 2002 by for-mer school record holder Nathan Brotherton.

The current school re-cord holder Wolfe ran 1:57.97, bettering his time

for Drake Relays qualify-ing.

As of 12:01 a.m. today, that time placed Wolfe 13th out of 16 qualifying spots for the Drake Re-lays, unofficially putting him into the competition.

“It was his race. Jay was out there,” Schlapia said. “When he came off that last corner, you could see him taking a couple of quick glances up at the clock. For Drake qualify-

ing, every tenth of a sec-ond was going to be impor-tant.”Senior winners

The Panthers finished with four total gold medals on the night.

Joining Wolfe and the 4 x 8 0 0 r e l a y as gold m e d a l -ists were s e n i o r s M a x x W a l t e r s in the 200 meter dash and Phipps in the 1600.

For the third straight meet, Phipps and McDer-mott went first and second in the 1,600. Phipps ran 4:40.45, while McDermott crossed in 4:45.62.

Walters won a tightly-contested 200 me-ter dash in 23.70, a new p e r s o n a l best.

“ H e ’ s f i n d -ing him-self do-ing pretty well with these sprints,” Schlapia said about Walters. “That was

Overtime goal lifts PanthersKinkade scores as dusk falls

By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

Creston soccer coach Jesus Rodri-guez played a hunch.

His team was tied 1-1 with Den-ison-Schleswig in the second over-time period, as the sun was setting at the soccer field south of Creston Elementary/Middle School, with no lights. (The Panther Relays were be-ing held at Panther Field.)

Forward McClain Haines had just been issued a yellow card — the 10th total of the match — and Ro-driguez had to turn to his bench with less than six minutes remaining in the second overtime.

Rodriguez signalled to junior re-serve Connor Kinkade, who was coming off a strong JV performance Tuesday against Underwood. He had spelled Haines for a few min-utes near the end of regulation.

“I had a hunch,” Rodriguez said. “He scored a couple goals on Tues-day. I thought, why not give him a chance here?”Winning play

Forward Conner Pals took the ball through two defenders on an attack, and during the flurry the

ball squirted back toward a trailing Kinkade.

“Pals got the ball through and I was just there for cleanup, and just knocked it in,” Kinkade said.

The goal, with 3:56 left in the sec-ond overtime be-fore the two teams would have gone to a penalty-kick shootout, gave Creston a 2-1 victory and its third overtime win of the sea-son.

After beating Class 1A ninth-ranked Underwood in overtime Tuesday, and a win over a Denison-Schleswig team garnering ratings votes in Class 2A, the Panthers stand 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the Hawkeye 10. Dension falls to 2-3 and 1-1.

“We haven’t done this in awhile, beat two teams back-to-back who have been recognized in the rank-ings,” Rodriguez said. “It feels great.”

Denison-Schleswig girls gain first victoryPanthers fall despite shooting advantage

By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

Denison-Schleswig built a 4-0 lead and finished with a 4-1 win over the Creston girls soccer team here Thursday in a battle of winless teams.

Denison-Schleswig came in 0-3 with losses of 12-0 to Lewis Cen-tral, 10-0 to St. Albert and 10-0 to Glenwood — all by the mercy rule — but was able to convert four of its six shots on goal.

Overall, Creston outshot the Monarchs 28-10 with 17 shots on goal, but couldn’t find the net un-til Toni VanS-coy knocked in a rebound shot off the Monarch goalkeeper with

eight minutes remaining.Career goalkeeper Sadie Jones,

who started playing in the field for a time Tuesday at Carroll Kue-mper, held duty as midfielder all night Thursday and provided a spark to the revived Panther of-fense. Sophomore Becca Ross had goalie duties.

Despite the loss, Creston coach Kim Lauffer was encouraged her team controlled so much of the ac-tion, especially in the second half.

“Yes, I was encouraged,” Lauffer said. “We outshot them, we were playing well. As many times as we shot on the goal, it’s disappointing we didn’t get more than one in, but that just shows me what we need to work on. Our defense is doing a good job, so now we focus on the offense.”

Panther girls set personal bests at Glenwood By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

GLENWOOD — The Creston girls track team edged out Atlantic by four points for fourth place in the team standings here on Thursday at the Ram Re-lays.

The Panthers finished with 54.5 points, compared to Atlantic’s 50.5 points. Glenwood ran away with the team title, scoring 206 points.

After having Monday’s home meet called off be-cause of weather, Creston head coach Clay Arnold said it was good to get his team back out and competing.

“It really was. We’re not the kind of team that can take a week off from meets,” he said. “We need to have two meets a week to stay sharp. We could tell we weren’t sharp tonight.”

The night started with a pair of PRs for the Panthers in the field events.

Sophomore Amber C a s t i l l o jumped a new per-sonal best of 14-10 in the long j u m p , while Ma-rie Hood picked up a new personal best throw of 74-1 in the discus.

“Amber’s last jump, she was well before the board and would have easily made 15 feet if she hit the board,” Arnold said.

Another highlight from the field events was Natalie

M o s t e k c l e a r i n g 4-10 in the high jump for third place.

T h a t clearance came mo-ments af-ter running a 2:27.9 leg on the runner-up 4x800 relay team for the Panthers.

“She cleared 4-8 before she went to the 4x800,” Ar-nold said. “Then five min-utes after she ran a 2:27.9 third leg, she cleared 4-10. If she would have been fresh, her attempts at 5-0 looked better than her jumps at 4-10 last week.”

The Panther 4x800 team finished second to Harlan. Creston ran 10:10.55 com-pared to Harlan’s 10:02.35. Members of that relay were Lexie Little, Jami Sickels, Natalie Mostek and Maria Mostek.

“We had it stacked up, looking to go after Harlan,” Arnold said. “We ran an awesome time for early in the season.”

Maria Mostek came back later in the evening to win the 800 meter run in a tough race with Harlan’s Bailey Kuhl.

Mostek edged Kuhl 2:28.98 to 2:29.28.

“Maria was up against her arch nemesis, Bailey Kuhl of Harlan,” Arnold said. “They were neck and neck and Maria beat her. That’s definitely a PR in the open 800. She ran great. Looked good doing it, had a great kick.”

Jami Sickels took sixth in

the event, giving the Pan-thers two placewinners out of the 800 meters.

“First time running two 800s in a night,” Arnold said. “Ran a really good race. Stayed with the front pack most of the way. She ran real strong. Anytime you can run your second 800 of the night faster than the first, I’m happy with that.”

The Panther 4x400 team of Little, Natalie Mostek, Maria Mostek and Chelcee Downing took third behind Harlan and Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson. The dis-tance medley team of Josie Sickels, Rachel Shepherd, Downing and Raegen Smith finished fourth.

For the second straight meet, freshman Leah Schul-er ran a new personal best in the 100 hurdles.

“She ran 18.61 the other night and tonight was in the slow heat and won it run-ning away in 18.55,” Arnold said. “Beat a girl out of the faster heat. Her form was smooth throughout.”

Monica Powers also ran a personal best in the 1,500. Powers ran 5:54.82 for a six-second season best and three-second career best.

The Panthers return to ac-tion Tuesday at Dallas Cen-ter-Grimes.

Marshalltown takes two one-run games from SWCC By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

M A R S H A L L T O W N — Marshalltown Commu-nity College freshman Lexie Biehl of Maquoketa ended a marathon game with a walk-off home run to give the Tigers a 7-6 victory over Southwestern in nine in-nings Wednesday.

Marshalltown swept the ICCAC doubleheader with a 6-5 win in the nightcap. The Tigers improved to 24-

14 overall and 10-8 in league play, just two games behind third-place Des Moines Area Community College.

Two one-run games against a team with 24 vic-tories shows just how close this young Spartan squad is to turning the corner.

“We had the first game won, up 6-3 in the bottom of the sixth,” coach Lindsay Stumpff said. “Then we had a mental mistake in our slap coverage, a walk and a base hit with two outs. We just couldn’t finish.”

Emma Ferrin’s three-run homer sparked Southwest-ern in building the early lead.

After Sam Strand had pitched the first seven in-nings with the teams tied 6-6, Danielle McIntosh pitched a scoreless eighth in relief for Southwestern. In the ninth, Biehl delivered the winning blast over the center field fence to cap a four-RBI game.

Mackenzie Gott of Oska-loosa pitched five innings of relief to hold off the Spar-

tans and pick up the win.Gott returned in game

two to toss six innings for her second win of the day as the Tigers held off a late rally from Southwestern. The Spartans scored three runs in the top of the sixth to come up one run short.

McIntosh, who pitched the second game with only two earned runs allowed, teamed up with shortstop Katrina DeVore in the middle of the

set up the winning goal.“You have to give a lot

of props to Pals, fighting through two or three guys and eventually the ball popped out to Kinkade,” Rodriguez said. “Connor was patient. He got away from traffic before striking the ball, and he was reward-ed with the winning goal.”

The teams had remained tied 1-1 after each scored early in regulation. Deni-son’s Alan Romero headed in a ricochet shot for an ear-ly Monarch lead.First goal

The Panthers answered shortly afterward. Haines took a through ball deep into the scoring zone. The shot was blocked by Deni-son goalkeeper Joshua Bo-nilla, and freshman Gavin Woods was in position to shoot it in the net on a sharp angle from the right side.

“ G a v i n was sprint-ing and closing hard, and to stop and finish like that, it takes technique to score like that,” Rodriguez said.

Although scoring was at a premium throughout the match, intensity wasn’t lack-ing. Denison received six yellow cards and four were issued to Creston players.

Rodriguez said in the end, Denison was unable to match the physical play of his team, particularly on the Panther defensive end, de-spite the absence of junior Tayler Pettit with an aggra-vated knee injury.

“We were the physical team and they were the skill

players in this game,” Ro-driguez said. “They can trap the ball and switch the field, typical things you see from players who have been play-ing since they were little. We’re trying to get there. We had a lot of combina-tions and we were trying to attack. The physicality and our strength, and our speed, carried us today.”

At one point Denison coached Carlos Trevino shouted to the officials, “They’re playing regular football, not soccer!”

The Panthers’ style paid off in a shooting advantage, as goalkeeper Alex Nielsen had only three saves for the night. Creston had 12 shots, including four on goal.

Creston plays two match-es Saturday at the Winter-set tournament. The field also includes Nodaway Val-ley, Oskaloosa and the host Huskies. Creston returns home Monday night to take

on Nodaway Valley.“I told the guys, we can

celebrate tonight, but the hardest thing to do in soccer is to win a hard game, and then another one after that,” Rodriguez said. “We have a great chance to come out of Monday 7-1, and that’s huge for us. We have not started a season like that. But we can’t do that if we don’t come back and play well Saturday.”

Jones had 11 shots to lead the Panthers and Van Scoy had five in a lineup depleted by injuries. Starting forward Abbie Cook was on crutches with a strained tendon in her hip, and starters Savannah Hartman and Itzayanna Ru-bio were unable to return af-ter suffering ankle injuries.

“We started the night stronger offensively, espe-cially with Sadie in our mid-field,” Lauffer said. “We no-ticed in the Kuemper match, when Sadie was on the field in the second half they only had nine shots after having 20 in the first half.”

Ross only has JV experi-ence in the goal, and Lauffer said it’s still a learning expe-rience.

“Right now she feels like people expect her to be Sa-die,” Lauffer said. “In two years, yes, I will expect that after being coached and trained. It just takes time. Sadie was not as good as she is now when she was starting out, so we don’t want to put too much pressure on her.”

Creston has a few days for some injuries to heal. The next match is Tuesday at Chariton, which is 2-1 for the season after beating Ot-tumwa, 2-1, on Tuesday.

order to provide most of the Spartan offense in the game. Both hit home runs.

DeVore was 3-of-4 three RBIs. McIntosh was 2-of-3 and drove in two runs. Hanna Murphy was the only other Southwestern player with a hit against Gott and closer Sarah Wilson of Ot-tumwa, who got the save with a scoreless seventh.

DeVore was 2-of-5 with a double and three RBIs in the first game.

Strand allowed seven hits in seven innings with four

strikeouts and six walks in game one. She allowed six earned runs.

In the nightcap, McIntosh pitched six innings with eight hits allowed, three walks and one strikeout. Only two of the six runs were earned as the Spartans had three er-rors.

“The second game was like the first in that one bad inning cost us,” Stumpff said. “They scored four runs in the third, all on two outs.”

Southwestern (5-13 con-ference, 13-18 overall) trav-els to Ellsworth Saturday before an Easter Sunday

non-conference double-header at home against Graceland JV, starting at 1 p.m.

The Ellsworth twinbill is key in the Spartans’ quest to move up in the ICCAC standings. Ellsworth is one position ahead in fifth place at 6-10, and 7-14 overall. The teams split their earlier doubleheader in Creston.

Outdoor news Tree distribution

DES MOINES – MidAm-erican Energy Company residential customers who live in Iowa can participate in the Plant Some Shade® program this spring. The program offers customers discount-priced trees to re-duce future energy use and green up their neighbor-hoods.

Strategically placed decid-uous trees provide shade on hot summer days, easing the cooling load on air condi-tioners or heat pumps. Trees planted on the west side of a house provide the most ben-efit. Additionally, conifer trees planted as windbreaks help protect the home from blustery Iowa winter winds thus reducing the energy needed for heating.

Plant Some Shade is a partnership initiative to aid long-term energy and natu-ral resource conservation. The program is funded by MidAmerican Energy and

administered by the Iowa Department of Natural Re-sources – Bureau of Forest-ry, with eight local partners: City of Cedar Rapids, John-son County Extension, Polk County Conservation, Pot-tawattamie County Conser-vation Board, Scott County Conservation Board, War-ren County Conservation Board, City of Waterloo and Webster County Conserva-tion Board.

Plant Some Shade offers MidAmerican Energy’s resi-dential customers the ability to purchase up to two, 3- to 4-foot conifers and 5- to 8-foot landscaping trees for $30 each. A variety of trees are available, including two or three varieties of shade trees, a low-growing orna-mental tree and a conifer.

“Encouraging residents to plant trees in their yard is an effective way to promote en-ergy efficiency and environ-mental beautification,” said Tina Yoder, MidAmerican Energy’s manager, energy

efficiency. “Strategically planted trees provide year-round protection of homes from the elements and that means energy savings. Plant Some Shade helps our cus-tomers save energy.”

Plant Some Shade events will be held in Cedar Rap-ids, Council Bluffs, Dav-enport, Des Moines, Fort Dodge, Indianola, Iowa City and Waterloo. Prepayment and advance orders are re-quired. Order forms can be obtained at www.midameri-canenergy.com/iowa_plant-someshade.

Orders will be accepted until all trees have been sold. Tree recipients are given instructions on how to plant and care for their trees, including safety infor-mation regarding the need to call 811 before digging to check for underground power lines. In addition, it is important to choose a tree that fits the site characteris-tics so that it will not grow into overhead power lines.

a tight race. Heck, that’s a career best for him. He’s really been doing well in that 100 and 200. He’s been our leader on the team for that.”

Phipps and Walters were two of the six Panther se-niors honored during a se-nior parents’ night presen-tation. Other seniors on the Creston team are Alex Chapman, Evan Nielsen, Trevor Luther and man-ager Jon Birchard.

Luther set a new career best in the discus throw in placing second with a toss of 145-1. That vaults him up to 40th in the state in all classes.

“He had a 133-5 as a career and season best and he blew that away,” Schlapia said. “That really jumped him up a lot on the charts. All four throws were career bests. He was really pumped up.”Raider relays

Mount Ayr broke the other meet record on the night, winning the distance medley relay in 3:40.49, breaking the old record by .04 seconds.

Members of that relay team were Jacob Sobotka, Erik Freed, Kyle Dolech-eck and Noah Larsen.

It was that same quar-tet that placed second in the 4x800 relay and that capped off the night by

winning the Dick Skarda 4x400 Relay. Unofficially, Mount Ayr’s 4x400 relay time of 3:28.35 from Tues-day’s Chariton meet holds up as the 20th qualifier out of 24 in to the Drake Re-lays.

M o u n t Ayr junior Joe Rick-er won the discus c o m p e t i -tion with a throw of 147-2.
