CHS band prepares for state contest

The Creston High School Panther Marching Band placed eighth in the morning and ninth in the evening shows Saturday at Valleyfest in Des Moines. In all, 13 bands competed in the invite-only event.

“We came out a little gun shy in the morning show,” said Mike Peters, CHS band director. “We showed our inexperience with such a big venue, but we bounced back and per-formed much better and with more energy in the evening. I think this will be a great springboard for this week-end at state.”

This Sat-urday, the CHS band travels to Treynor for the Iowa High School State Marching Band Festival. The event starts at 8 a.m. with Class 1A. The CHS band is slated to perform at 2:50 p.m. The Panthers have set a goal of receiving a I rating — the highest available rating.

“We are the last band performing in 3A,” Peters said. “We would love to have as many peo-ple from Creston as possible come cheer us on. One of the unique things about this contest is that part of your score is crowd re-sponse. The louder the crowd, the better our score. So come and sup-port the Panther marching band and yell loud.”

If the band meets their goal this year, it will mark 26 consectuive I ratings at state for the CHS band program.High Lakes banquet numbers

This year’s High Lakes Outdoor Alliance (HLOA) banquet held Thursday at Three Mile Lodge will net about $35,000. Tom Lesan with HLOA reports around 300 people attended the banquet that included a prime-rib dinner, raffle and auction.

“People just keep supporting us,” Lesan said. “You know when pies are being auctioned off for $95 that people really like what you are doing. This will be an-other record year for us in terms of money. I think the total raised con-tinues to go up each year because people can see the shooting range, they can see other areas where their money is being used locally.”

HLOA is a non-profit organization — established in 2005 — that raises money to promote and enhance out-door activities in Union County. Ev-ery dollar raised by HLOA is used in Union County.Back to country for KSIB

On Friday, KSIB Radio in Creston switched back to their country music format — a welcoming change for many listeners who did not like the news talk format the station adopted in March.

QUICK NEWS An unassessable value

CNA photo by JAKE WADDINGHAMUnion County Assessor Gene Haner is retiring at the end of the year. He said one of his favorite improvements during more than 31 years as assessor has been the Geographic Informational System (GIS). Instead of using large map books like the one pictured above, Haner said it can now all be done on a computer.

By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA associate [email protected]

Thirty one years, seven months and eight days.

That is how long Union County Asses-sor Gene Haner has served the county before he retires Dec. 31.

Union County Board of Supervisors regretfully accepted and approved Han-er’s resignation at their regularly sched-uled meeting Monday.

“Gene has been here long term, has been very faithful and great to work with,” said Union County Board of Su-pervisor Chairman Dennis Brown. “We are really going to miss him.”Biggest change

The assessor’s primary duty and re-sponsibility is to assess all real property within their jurisdiction except that which is otherwise provided by law. This would include residential, commercial, industri-al and agricultural classes of property.

“I have enjoyed working with Gene for the last 25 years,” said Union County Au-ditor Sandy Hysell. “We worked closely

with real estate, making it available on-line.”

When Haner moved into the lower lev-el of the Union County Courthouse 31 years ago, there were no computers.

Instead, he worked with huge map books — similar to the one pictured above — and would hand draw any prop-erty splits.

“Computers have made things much easier,” Haner said. “The new GIS (Geo-graphic Informational System) is the big-gest improvement we have made.”

GIS is an aerial view of the entire county and allows Haner to zoom in on individual properties. The county updat-ed their aerial pictures for the system in March.

“Before, we had to do it by hand,” Han-er said. “It would take three to four days. Now it just takes us a couple of hours.”

Haner can use GIS to split a proper-ty, and it gives him a print out of the soil type, a rating of the property and the full value of the land.

An assessor is concerned with value, not taxes. The taxes paid are proportion-ate to the value of property compared to the total value of the taxing district in which the property is located.

“I think that is what I have enjoyed most, working with this new GIS,” Haner said.

Branstad, Hatch face off in final debate

DES MOINES (AP) — Repub-lican Gov. Ter-ry Branstad and Democratic chal-lenger Jack Hatch will face off in their final debate in the race for Iowa gov-ernor.

Branstad and Hatch will appear in Sioux City on Tuesday night at the Orpheum Theatre. This is last of three debates in the race.

Polls have shown Branstad, who is

running for a sixth non-consecutive term, with a sizable lead in the race.

He has touted his recent achieve-ments, including a commercial prop-erty tax cut and new education

spending, as reasons for re-election.Hatch has argued that he would

do more for middle-class families, pledging to raise the minimum wage and create jobs.

What’s nextAn examining board has

been put into place with one representative for the county, cities and school dis-tricts.

“They are meeting Thurs-day night for their organiza-tional meeting,” Haner said. “Then they will need to con-tact the (Iowa) Department of Revenue to get a list of all eligible people that have passed the assessors test.”

The examining board is composed of Curt Turner, Fran Bakerink and Phillip Waigand.

After the board receives the list of eligible people, they will ask for applications and conduct interviews.

“There are two types of appointments,” Haner said. “One is a provisional ap-pointment where they have no experience in the office, but the (Iowa) Department of Revenue comes down for six months to help get them started.”

The other appointment is a standard appointment — which is how Haner was ap-pointed — where the appli-cant has experience and the department does not come

down.If the examining board

recommends a provisional appointment, funding for the Iowa Department of Reve-nue to come down for train-ing comes out of the asses-sor’s budget.

“All the counties as far as the assessment field are sim-ilar,” Haner said.

The examining board’s recommendation goes to the conference board, which is the county supervisors, city mayors and school boards in the county. They each have one vote to approve or deny the recommendation.

Supervisor Ron Riley said he is encouraged by the expe-rienced staff of Vickie Smith, deputy, and Joni Cook, as-sistant, that will be able to help give the new assessor a smooth transition.

As for Haner’s plans for retirement, he said he has a pretty good idea what he will be doing.

“I will do whatever my wife tells me,” Haner said with a laugh.

They are already in the process of planning a trip to Las Vegas in the spring to visit their children, grandchil-dren and new great-grand-child.

ASSESSOR:


“The listeners spoke up and we listened,” said Chad Rieck, general manager at KSIB. “We tried the talk for-mat and it just didn’t work out. It was an easy switch back for me because I like country music. The main thing is we continue to be a local radio station with news, sports and weather and now we have country music back again.”

Country music will be

heard on the station’s FM dial during these times now:

• Midnight to 6 a.m.• 1 to 5 p.m.• 5:30 to 6 p.m.• 7 p.m. to midnightRieck said classic country

music can be heard from 6 to 9 a.m. on Sunday, prior to the church service broadcast. He also added listeners will now hear KSIB personalities on the air during music times.

4-H Trick or Treat

Canned goods collected

Union County 4-H members went trick-or-treating for canned food items the evening of Oct. 8 throughout the neighborhoods in Creston.

Nineteen 4-H’ers went out in four groups, and in one hour, nearly six boxes full of canned food was collect-ed. All of the donations will be given to MATURA in Creston.

This event was held in celebration of National 4-H Week.


public Monday. But the at-torney general’s office con-tacted him Monday morning to object, saying both sides agreed the deal wouldn’t be released until “at or be-fore” Thursday’s plea and sentencing hearing for Sapp. Jacobson issued an amend-ed order Monday afternoon agreeing the deal could be filed Thursday.

Sapp is charged with first-degree murder and child endangerment causing death in the October 2013

death of Autumn Elgers-ma. Investigators say she slammed the toddler to the floor at her in-home day-care, causing severe head in-juries that killed the girl two days later.

It’s unclear which charges prosecutors might drop un-der the deal, and what po-tential sentence Sapp faces.

Attorney General’s Office spokesman Geoff Green-wood said plea agreements aren’t final until they’re ac-cepted by judges.

They are often made pub-lic days before plea hearings.

AGREEMENT:

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa agents have received hundreds of tips since releas-ing video of a man buying a winning lottery ticket at the center of a fraud investiga-tion.

Iowa Department of Public Safety spokesman Alex Mur-phy said Monday that investi-gators are focusing on a dozen tips seen as credible.

Investigators released sur-veillance footage Thursday as they sought the public’s help

identifying the man seen buy-ing two Hot Lotto tickets at a Des Moines gas station in December 2010. One of them had the winning numbers for a $14.3 million jackpot.

A New York lawyer at-tempted to claim the prize a year later, saying he was rep-resenting a winner who want-ed to remain anonymous. The Iowa Lottery refused to pay after he wouldn’t identify the winner or explain the ticket’s chain of custody.

Dallas nurse with Ebola gets blood from survivor

DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas nurse infected with Ebola while treating the first patient diagnosed in the U.S. has received a plasma transfusion from a doctor who beat the virus.

Nurse Nina Pham was among about 70 staff members at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital who cared for Thomas Eric Duncan, according to med-ical records. The 26-year-old nurse was in the Liberi-an man’s room often, from the day he was placed in intensive care until the day before he died last week.

Pham and other health care workers wore protec-tive gear, including gowns, gloves, masks and face shields — and some-times full-body suits — when caring for Dun-can, but she became the first person to contract the disease within the United States. Duncan died Wednesday.

Health care workers including Pham were told to monitor them-selves by taking their temperatures. She went to the hospital Friday night after finding she had a fever.

As Pham was be-ing treated in isolation Tuesday, the World Health Organization projected that West Africa could see up to 10,000 new Ebola cas-es a week within two months and confirmed the death rate in the current outbreak has risen to 70 percent.

The agency’s assis-tant director-general, Dr. Bruce Aylward, gave the figures during a news conference in Geneva. Previously,

the WHO had estimated the Ebola mortality rate at around 50 percent.

If the world’s response to the crisis isn’t stepped up within 60 days, “a lot more people will die,” Aylward said.

Meanwhile in Berlin, a U.N. medical worker in-fected with Ebola in Liberia died. The 56-year-old man, whose name has not been released, died overnight of the infection, the St. Georg hospital in Leipzig announced Tuesday.

Members of the Pham family’s church held a spe-cial Mass for her in Fort Worth on Monday night. Rev. Jim Khoi, of the Our Lady of Fatima Church,

said Pham’s mother told him the nurse had received a transfusion that could save her life.

“Her mom says that she got the blood from the gen-tleman, a very good guy. I don’t know his name but he’s very devoted and a very good guy from some-where,” Khoi said.

Jeremy Blume, a spokes-man for the nonprofit med-ical mission group Samari-tan’s Purse, confirmed that the plasma donation came from Kent Brantly, the first American to return to the U.S. from Liberia to be treated for Ebola. Brantly received an experimental treatment and fought off the virus, and has donated

blood to three others, in-cluding Pham.

“He’s a doctor. That’s what he’s there to do. That’s his heart,” Blume said.

Brantly said in a recent speech that he also offered his blood for Duncan, but that their blood types didn’t match.

Khoi said Pham’s moth-er assured him the nurse was comfortable and “do-ing well,” and that the two women had been able to talk via Skype. She was in isolation and in stable con-dition, health officials said. Another unidentified per-son who had close contact with her has also been iso-lated as a precaution.

Police Erin Marie Wallace, 31,

913 W. Mills St., was charged with driving while revoked 12:11 a.m. Saturday at the intersection of North Cherry and East Irving streets.

According to a Creston Police report, officers were on patrol midnight Satur-day eastbound on West Montgomery Street when they observed a 2001 white Oldsmobile Alero stopped at a stop sign at North Wal-nut and West Montgomery streets. Officers turned south on North Walnut from West Montgomery and observed a female driver who officers identified as Wallace. Officers knew from previous incidents she was revoked. Officers ran the license plate, which came back to the Alero registered to Wallace. Wallace’s driv-

er’s license was run through dispatch, and she came back as revoked. Officers made a traffic stop on the vehicle at North Cherry and East Irving. Wallace stepped out of the ve-hicle before officers were able to approach the vehicle, and tried to walk across the street, saying she was picking up her kids. Officers notified Wallace to provide her identification and have a seat in the patrol car. Wallace was very agitated by officers stopping her. She said to officers she didn’t want the car towed, and to leave it where it was.

Wallace was released on $1,000 bond.

READER POLL RESULTSWill Joni Ernst or Bruce Braley win the U.S. Senate seat?

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

President Obama snarled Los Angeles traffic as he was driven up the San Diego Freeway by mo-torcade to Brentwood on Thurs-day with dozens of police cars trailing him. People stood on free-way bridges and cheered him on. Everybody just assumed he had just murdered his wife.

Gwyneth Paltrow hosted Pres-ident Obama for a fundraiser in Brentwood Thursday. They charged a thousand to get in but thirty-two thousand to meet the president. That sounds unusual-ly high, especially when you can jump over the White House fence and meet him for free.

The FBI called for the public’s help in identifying the masked spokesman for the Islamic State who is believed to be an Ameri-can. He goes on YouTube and de-fends jihad against non-Muslims.

FBI voice experts say it sounds like he’s from the Midwest, so that rules out Ben Affleck.

Katy Perry confirmed rumors Friday that the National Football League has asked her to perform the halftime show at the Super Bowl next year in Phoenix. The idea behind Katy’s selection is to improve the NFLs image. The NFL wants a woman who can give herself black eyes.

Princeton University’s Manjul Barghava won the Fields medal, an equivalent of the Nobel Prize for Mathematics. He was awarded for his work with infinite numbers. Using a formula that filled up six blackboards, he demonstrated how long it will take him to pay off his student loans.

A war for show Compared with President

Barack Obama, even Jim-my Carter is John McCain.The former president practi-cally synonymous with Ameri-can weakness and retreat thinks Obama was too slow to act against ISIS and gives his current strate-gy only “a possibility of success,” provided it involves (unspecified) ground troops.

When you are too passive for Jimmy Carter, it’s time for some soul-searching in the Situation Room. The late-1970s are calling and want their foreign policy back.The war against ISIS so far is des-ultory and occasional, a campaign of underwhelming force. ISIS has still been on the verge of taking the Syrian town of Khobani, abut-ting the Turkish border, and on the offensive in Iraq. The erstwhile JV team is defying all the military might that the world’s lone super-power is willing to muster.

There has been renewed talk of

how, as former Secretary of De-fense Leon Panetta put it the other day, the fight against terrorism will be a 30-year war. At this rate, it will be a generational struggle merely to get ISIS out of Mosul.

To this point, almost everything has lent credence to the skeptical interpretation of Obama’s war: That in reaction to a spectacular media event (the horrific ISIS be-headings), the president staged his own media event, an inconsequen-tial bombing campaign accompa-nied by a tough-sounding, prime-time speech.

The experience of the surge in Afghanistan, the red-line fiasco and now this suggest that Obama

is a hawk precisely to the extent he feels the politics don’t allow him to wiggle out of it.

His talk of Afghanistan as the good war in the 2008 campaign was too fresh for him to counte-nance an immediate defeat. So he ordered the surge and tried never to speak of it again, and now wants to completely liquidate our mili-tary presence on the failed model of Iraq.

He had seemed determined to strike Syria after Bashar Assad used chemical weapons last year, then found a way to crab-walk away from his own earnest warnings.The war against ISIS happens to be just enough to placate the public’s hawkish mood without getting too far out in front or taking actions that will fully commit the president.

The Powell Doctrine is to use maximum military power to achieve a clear objective; the Obama Doctrine evidently is to use minimal military power to create a

vague impression. Message: I care about defeating ISIS, for now.

If the president intended to catch up to public opinion, he hasn’t got-ten there yet. A Fox News poll last week found that 57 percent of peo-ple think our actions against the Islamic State haven’t been aggres-sive enough. Sixty percent of Dem-ocrats (Jimmy Carter apparently among them) don’t think Obama has been tough enough in taking on Islamic radicals.

The critics include two of his former defense secretaries, both of whom have taken the extraor-dinary step of publicly criticizing him. Who knows what Chuck Ha-gel eventually will have to say?

The anti-ISIS campaign is a bril-liant tactical success, in the sense that we are hitting what we target. But it is a strategic nullity.

It is too small to make much of a difference, and there are limits to how much can be done exclusively from the air anyway. We can bomb

fixed targets — refineries and bridges — and perhaps tanks and large troop movements. The prob-lem is that ISIS is a guerrilla force not highly vulnerable from the air, and it becomes even less so once it is entrenched in cities.

Regardless, there are no Amer-ican ground controllers on the front lines, and they are essential to meaningful precision targeting. If they are ruled out — together with the troops necessary to pro-vide protection and logistics — the campaign against ISIS looks like a holding action.

It caused a minor furor when Obama said a few weeks ago that he didn’t have a strategy against ISIS yet. The scandal is that, with American planes dropping bombs in two countries, he still doesn’t.

Chelsey is fine and well and living in a barn The niece Chelsey grew up in this

column, a recurring character from the time she was born until she graduated college. Then she disap-peared, at least from this block of newspaper real estate.

“She’s not funny anymore,” I’d joke when readers asked — as they inevitably did — why I no longer wrote much about her. The kid who wore pink swim fins 24-7 for her summer vacation was only a distant, hilarious memo-ry, yesterday’s column fodder.The sad truth is that her adult life makes our customary long vis-its together impossible. She has a job, a boyfriend, a car payment, a life. She is 26, no longer a child.I make myself go to Facebook occasionally to “hear” her sweet voice. I don’t like that fools-faces format, but it’s the way kids com-municate. They don’t seem to an-swer their telephones or email, at least not routinely.

And Chelsey posts lots of photos. She’s working with students called “equine scholars” at Georgetown College, the same small Kentucky school from which she graduated. And horses with teenagers astride them make for good pictures.

On the computer, at least, I can see her pretty face and eavesdrop on her conversations with friends. It is better than nothing.

Last week, however, the planets aligned. I finally saw her in person, and for pleasure, not at a sick bed or a funeral, and not for a few exasper-ating minutes. I got four whole days.I couldn’t believe my luck. I bought a dozen yellow roses for the guest room. I scrubbed the bath tub. I stocked up on food my vegetarian niece might eat.

She walked across the Colora-do airport lobby with the grace of a blue-jeaned ballerina. Chelsey wore new eyeglasses and a styl-ish scarf around her neck. The jeans and boat shoes proved she still preferred casual. She looked like a model if models ever ate.We never stopped talking or run-ning those four days. We climbed rocks in the Garden of the Gods and listened to bluegrass music. We ate barbecue and admired the paintings of Maxfield Parrish at the Broadmoor Hotel. We sloshed through rain to visit art coopera-tives and drove into the mountains to see spectacular views.

We saw a movie that was set in the Marais of Paris and thought

we recognized an apartment we’d once rented. We laughed and laughed and laughed over, well, I don’t know, everything. We find the same things funny. We always have.

Chelsey wants to go to graduate school but is not sure what to study. Archival history and public health are two options. She wants to vis-it the Normandy beaches but isn’t sure when she’ll have time. She wants to learn about bee-keeping but figures that will have to wait until retirement.

Chelsey is moving into a barn apartment for six months of free board in return for taking care of three horses. She’s excited. Her re-sourceful nature has not changed.Her last night here we met friends. For one vainglorious moment I stared at this young woman and wanted to take partial credit for how well she’s turned out. I cannot. She shaped me, not vice versa.

Danica Patrick discusses love life with Stenhouse CONCORD, N.C. (AP) —

Danica Patrick admits there are some o c c u p a -tional haz-ards to dat-ing a fellow NASCAR driver.

In a col-umn for D e r e k Jeter’s new sports website, The Play-ers’ Tribune, Patrick wrote that racing against boyfriend Ricky Stenhouse Jr. can create “Montagues and the Capulets” moments — a ref-erence to the feuding families of the star-crossed lovers in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.”

“If it’s crazy to want to go

to sleep next to the person who ran your car off the road going 200 miles per hour ear-lier that day, then I’m certifi-able,” she wrote.

Patrick and Stenhouse went public with their rela-tionship in early 2013 and have had only a handful of scrapes on the track. After their most recent, at Chicago last month, she used profani-ty to discuss it with him after the race. Then they moved on.

“He’s also extremely cud-dly, which really helps his cause, because sometimes I’m not very happy with him,” she wrote.

Jeter launched his website at the beginning of the month after he retired from the New York Yankees. The site is de-

voted to delivering athletes’ “unfiltered” views to the fans, and The Players’ Tri-bune is being billed as a dig-ital company that will offer unique access to top athletes in every sport. Seattle Sea-hawks quarterback Russell Wilson wrote about domestic violence in an earlier post.

Patrick used her debut on the site to touch on a variety of topics, including her strug-gles in NASCAR and the question of children, “a deci-sion for us to consider in our future.”

“This is stuff that I didn’t entertain before I was with him and it’s a big part of my life now,” she wrote. “It’s a question that every ambi-tious, working woman has to grapple with.”

Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

This is a good day to negotiate with others, especially about family matters or anything that has to do with real estate. You can successfully secure things for your future.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You will accomplish much today, because it’s easy for you to work hard! You’re full of energy and keen to make long-range plans at the same time. Winning combo!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a lovely day to play, enjoy vacations, explore the arts, watch sports or join in playful activities with children. You want to have a good time by doing it frugally and not blowing money.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, nodding at stern Saturn. This helps you make long-range plans for the future. Meanwhile, family discussions will welcome this.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You have a lot of energy to talk to others today and get things done. Nevertheless, privately and on your own, you’re mak-ing plans for the future about home and family.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a good day for business and commerce, because you have the energy to explore new ideas and follow through on plans. Someone older, perhaps a female, will help you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a strong day for you; indeed, people notice you. Be aware that

they also might be privy to private details about your per-sonal life. You can handle this.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Plans for future travel or anything having to do with future training and education look solid. Continue to work on these ideas behind the scenes, because you will get results.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Talk to others (per-haps in groups) about how to solidify long-range plans about shared property, fundraising, inheritances and insurance. You can do this today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Advice from someone older can help you today. In fact, it might make you consider changing your future goals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a productive day.

You have the patience to do what is at hand, plus the ener-gy to research things beyond your daily boundaries. You’re full of new ideas!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You couldn’t pick a better day to discuss inheritances, shared property, insurance matters or disputes about whatever is jointly held. You will be sensi-ble and steadfast.

YOU BORN TODAY You are charismatic and often influence others, especially your own cir-cle. This is because you are

knowledgeable and provoca-tive! You amaze people. This is the year you have been waiting for. It’s a time of expansion and great activity. A major change might take place, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2005. It’s time to try your wings!

Birthdate of: Emeril Lagasse, celebrity chef; Chris de Burgh, singer/songwriter; Keyshia Cole, singer.

Dear Heloise: I discovered strings of GUM along one side of my car. Not wanting to damage the finish, I was reluc-tant to try any solvents. Then I thought, “What would Heloise do?” I remembered your hints about using ice to harden gum and make it easier to remove from clothing and household surfaces, so why not a car? Worked like a charm! — Don-na L., via email

Glad you thought it through before using the wrong prod-uct! Just be sure to place the ice cubes in a plastic bag be-fore holding it against the car. — Heloise

REMOVE BUILDUPDear Heloise: I use about

2 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with half a glass of warm water to remove hair-spray buildup on my hair. Works great! Regular sham-poo sometimes doesn’t re-move the spray after it hard-ens. — Bonnie in Arkansas

This is a classic Heloise hint! Safe, cheap and “green.” You can either add the baking soda to the shampoo you use or just mix it with water, as you do. Yet another reason I love the stuff! For more money-saving ideas, order my popular Hel-oise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes pamphlet by sending

$5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Need to freshen your breath? Gargle a mixture of 1 teaspoon baking soda dis-solved in half a glass of warm water. — Heloise

LADYBUG LUCK!Dear Heloise: Here is an

environmentally safe and or-ganic way to get rid of some unwanted bugs in your gar-den: Buy a bag of ladybugs from your local nursery! Not only are they effective, but they are colorful and fun to watch. If you have small chil-dren, it’s a great way to spend time together in the garden. — Kiera S. in Pennsylvania

Cheap and safe for around $15 for 1,000 ladybugs. — Hel-oise

WHERE IS THE ...?Dear Heloise: Whenever

I’ve moved (every two years before my husband retired after 30 years), I always had trouble finding where I had

put things away. This move, I finally figured out an easy way. On the desktop of my laptop, I keep a file called “Where Did I Put That?”

Now whenever I put some-thing in an unusual place (or find something I’ve looked everywhere for), I just open the file and make a note! If you want to get fancy, you can make your list on a spread-sheet and then sort it alpha-betically. — Jan S., Salem, Ore.

Jan, sounds like a military family, like I was in! Anyone who has moved often knows this frustrating dilemma. This is a Handy Heloise Hint. Ev-eryone in the household can go to the file, rather than asking, “Where is (fill in the blank)?” — Heloise

TRAVELING COOKIESDear Heloise: When I visit

my grandchildren, I take them cookies. Carrying them in a suitcase is more economical than mailing, so I pack them in wax-paper or plastic-wrap boxes. They work beautifully. Of course, the cookies need to be a size that fit in the boxes standing on end. — Joy E. in Nevada

The Numbers Game

PostponedKANSAS CITY, Mo.

— The last two times the Kansas City Roy-als played a postseason game at home, rain fell af-ter the final out. This time, it started well before the first pitch.

Game 3 of the AL Championship Series be-tween the Royals and Bal-timore Orioles was post-poned Monday because of steady rain that satu-rated Kauffman Stadium. The game was resched-uled for Tuesday at 8:07 p.m. EDT.

Along with steady rain, wind gusts of 25 mph were buffeting the ballpark. The forecast for Tuesday is cold and windy but dry, with weather improving the rest of the week.

The Royals, who lead the best-of-seven series 2-0, will keep former Orioles pitcher Jeremy Guthrie on the mound for Game 3. The Orioles will start Wei-Yin Chen, as planned.Winston trouble

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Even as Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher says he believes quarterback Ja-meis Winston didn’t sign autographs for money, a source tells ESPN that the university’s athletic com-pliance department has begun to look into how so many Winston auto-graphs were authenticat-ed by a single company.

ESPN has learned that after the team’s 38-20 win Saturday against Syra-cuse, Fisher approached Winston and asked him if he signed autographs for money. Winston told Fisher, according to the source, that he did not.

Fisher then told report-ers he wasn’t concerned that an autograph authen-tication business, which recently was linked to sus-pended Georgia running back Todd Gurley, also was linked to Winston.

A cursory search on JSA’s website found more than 340 certified Winston autographs. An additional search later on Monday revealed 600 more Win-ston autographs that had been authenticated and logged into the compa-ny’s website verification system for a total of more than 950 autographs.Rams crumble

ST. LOUIS — The San Francisco 49ers defense got beat early by unfamil-iar plays and Austin Da-vis calling the signals.

“No disrespect, but I didn’t know who their quarterback was,” linebacker Ahmad Brooks said. “We got some good pressure on him. That helped us.”

Davis was sacked five times, twice each by Brooks and Dan Sku-ta. They carried the day, keeping the St. Louis Rams offense stalled, and giving Colin Kaepernick a chance to warm up in a 31-17 victory on Monday night.

Kaepernick threw for 343 yards and three touchdowns for the 49ers, who erased an early 14-point deficit. The de-fense stepped up again when Dontae Johnsonre-turned an interception re-turn for a TD in the final minute to seal it.

Mount Ayr upsets SW Valley to advance to POI semisBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

CORNING — Mount Ayr flipped the script on Southwest Valley here on Monday, upsetting the Tim-berwolves and advancing to tonight’s Pride of Iowa Con-ference Tournament semifi-nals in Afton.

Just four days after South-west Valley overcame a 1-0 deficit to defeat the Raid-erettes 2-1 in the Clarinda Triangular, the Raiderettes repaid the favor in the first round of the POI Tourna-ment.

Southwest Valley won a back and forth first game, 25-22, before Mount Ayr went on a big run in the sec-ond game to earn a 25-17 win, eventually polishing off the victory with a 15-4 win

game three.Both teams had beat-

en Martensdale-St. Marys

earlier in the night, with Mount Ayr overcoming a 1-0 deficit in that match, as well.

“We had a practice last night and our girls pretty much just showed up to practice, and I knew we were going to definitely be competitive tonight,” Mount Ayr head coach Tori Braby said. “We did just that. We knew we wanted Southwest Valley again, and the only way they were going to do that was to get through Mar-tensdale.”Big run

The complexion of the match changed midway through the second game, with Southwest Valley holding onto an 11-8 lead after a Jade Petersen kill.

Mount Ayr got a side out, which brought sopho-more Tessa Shields to the service line. Shields served four consecutive aces, and

added a fifth ace later in an eight-p o i n t s e r v i c e run that s p r u n g the Raid-e r e t t e s ahead 17-11.

“She can really mix it up, whether she’s going to go hard right at them or if she’s going to serve soft,” Braby said. “She can serve a floater. She just kind of learned that this year.”

Serve receive was prob-lematic for the Timber-wolves in the second game, as Blair Glendenning and Sadie Frost each served an ace in the game, as well.

“Unforced errors is a huge issue we’ve been try-ing to work on,” Southwest Valley head coach Lindsay Wetzel said. “I don’t know how many we had in game.

We had 34 total unforced errors against Mount Ayr, and you’re not going to win a match making that many unforced errors on yourself. Serve receive was an issue. We weren’t mov-ing our feet.”

Tied at one game apiece, the two teams traded points early in the winner-take-all game three.

An Allie Shields tip over the net gave Mount Ayr a 7-3 lead, and brought Macy Larsen to the service line.

Larsen served seven points in a row, as the Timberwolves continued to make unforced errors, giving the Raiderettes a 14-3 lead in the race to 15 points. The match eventu-ally ended as Southwest Valley hit into the net.

“It feels great,” Braby said about moving on to the semifinals. “It’s been a long time since Mount Ayr has gotten pas the first round. It’s a great accom-plishment for these girls and they deserve it.”

Other teams advanc-ing to tonight’s semifinal round were Nodaway Val-ley, Central Decatur and Bedford.

Braby said a big part of Monday night’s wins was passing.

“One of the things we’ve been working on is pass-ing,” she said. “Passing is everything. If our passes are not on, we can’t hit, we can’t set. Our girls in the back row decided they were going to start playing and they weren’t going to let those girls attack on them.”

Iowa State sees improvement in QB Richardson

By LUKE MEREDITHAP Sports Writer

AMES (AP) — Iowa State spent years trying to figure out what it had in quarterback Sam Richard-son. The Cyclones have learned he might be their most valuable player.

Richardson set a school record with 37 completions in Iowa State’s 37-30 win over Toledo last weekend. He also threw for 351 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions while rally-ing the Cyclones (2-4, 0-3 Big 12) past the Rockets and keeping their slim bowl hopes alive.

Richardson, a junior, has thrown 10 TD passes with just four picks through six games and is Iowa State’s leading rusher with 283 yards.

Richardson’s numbers ar-en’t overwhelming, but hold up considering the injuries that have decimated Iowa State’s receiving corps and its ongoing struggle with the running game.

“Sam’s level of play has been very important in keeping us competitive,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said. “He was real-ly, really good in the second half in that (Toledo) game and we need him to remain that way and even keep im-proving.”

The Cyclones travel to face Texas (2-4, 1-2) on Sat-urday.

In hindsight, Richardson’s remarkable 2012 debut — 23 of 27 passing for 250 yards and four TDs off the bench at Kansas — looks more like a fluke than an indicator of future performance.

But Richardson is also better now than he looked last year while fighting through injuries to his throwing thumb and leg during what was essentially a lost sophomore season. He completed 55 percent of his passes, threw six intercep-tions and lost the starting job to Grant Rohach.

Richardson fell even fur-ther behind in spring ball, but made vast improve-

ments in fall practice, im-pressing Rhoads and of-fensive coordinator Mark Mangino so much that they made him the starter again.

So far, it looks like Rhoads and Mangino made the right call.

Since a close loss to No. 14 Kansas State on Sept. 6, Richardson has thrown nine TD passes with just one in-terception. He was argu-ably the best player in the 20-17 win at Iowa, throwing for 255 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and he ran for 99 yards in the Cyclones’ loss No. 4 Baylor on Sept. 27.

Against Toledo, Richard-son threw all three TD pass-es in the second half as Iowa State overcame a shaky start by stepping up its offensive tempo.

“We’ve grown a lot as an offense, and the trust is con-tinuing to grow,” Richard-son said.

CLARINDA — South-west Valley picked up a pair of 2-1 wins here Thursday at the Clarinda Triangular, defeating the host Cardinals and Mount Ayr.

Mount Ayr dropped both of its matches.

“Tonight didn’t roll too much in our favor,” Mount Ayr head coach Tori Braby said. “We did not show much during our first match against Clarinda. We could not do anything right. It was just one of those games.”

Mount Ayr rebounded to take the first game against Southwest Valley, before the Timberwolves picked up wins of 25-22 and 15-6 in the final two games for the win.

“We finally got going in game two and became more aggressive,” Southwest Val-ley head coach Lindsay Wet-zel said. “We also needed to adjust our block, because (Kelcie) Shields was getting some kills going around our block. It was good to see all

TuneupSouthwest Valley, mean-

while, has one final tuneup before postseason tourna-ments start. The Timber-wolves host Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson and Shenandoah on Thursday in a triangular.

“I think we need to im-prove our mental game,” Wetzel said. “From my standpoint, I don’t see the play to win attitude. I see the let’s play not to lose, and they saw tonight what that gets us. We need kids to step up and be leaders. Teams know we rely on Marie (Palmer) and we rely on her a lot. We need other kids to step up.”

Statistics (night totals)Serving (aces) — SWV:

Lexi Bronner 100 percent (1), Jade Petersen 96 percent, Taylor Damewood 90 percent (3), Marie Palmer 88 percent, Kelsey Means 88 percent, Kim Hults 78 percent. MA: Tessa Shields 17-19 (5), Sadie Frost 27-28 (5), 20-21 (2), 13-14, Macy Larsen 20-21, Kelcie Shields 8-13 (1), Allie Shields 1-1.

POI:


around Richardson have di-minished, but his progress hasn’t.

Iowa State lost wide re-ceiver Quenton Bundrage — perhaps the program’s most talented player — for the season in the opener, and promising sophomore P.J. Harris is also out for the rest of 2014.

Senior sparkplug Jarvis West missed last week’s win with a foot injury, though Rhoads expects him to re-turn against the Longhorns.

The Cyclones also haven’t gotten more than 3.4 yards per carry from any of their top three running backs, so

defenses haven’t had to wor-ry too much about getting beat on the ground.

Yet, if the rest of the team can mirror Richardson’s improvement, the Cyclones might push for a bowl bid despite a 1-4 start.

“The main thing is want-ing to hit more deep balls in games and taking advantage of those. But I feel pretty comfortable back there, es-pecially with the front that we have, and the receivers are going make plays when the ball is there,” Richard-son said.
