Soccer star shines helping community

20 hours to Philadelphia, Pa., to work with inner-city children
"I worked in a second grade classroom in one of the inner-city elementary schools," Dahle said. "I was a teacher's assistant. I helped her teach the class and I also got to work individually, with a lot of the kids, which was fun, and teach them how to read."
She could tell she made a difference to the children when, on her last day at the school, the kids made her a 10-foot poster that read, "Thank You Cynthia."
After helping coach her old club soccer team in Anchorage during the summer, she will move to Utah where she plans to find work in the child welfare field. Dahle said the impact that helping others has made on her has been life-changing, and it has made her appreciate the gifts she has been blessed with. All of this inspired her to offer her life to serving others.
"My motto has been that I've been blessed with a lot," she said. "The Lord blesses me with a lot so He ought to expect a lot of me. I want to return the favor from God and help His other children.

"It's helped our team speed, it's helped our athleticism, and it's really helped our special teams," McCarney said yesterday. "We've put more time in special teams this spring than any time since I've been here. We've upgraded already because we have more athletes available in that pool."
AMES, Iowa — Some young gums are making themselves known on Iowa State's football team this spring
Young Cyclones challenge starters
The Associated Press
Some? How about 16 — eight on each side of the ball. That's how many redshirt freshmen show up on Iowa State's depth chart.
Though a few could have helped last season, when Iowa State finished 4-7, coach Dan McCarney held them out to give them a chance to develop further. Now, they're getting a chance to shine, and McCarney said they'd done just that.
Iowa State did a decent job covering kicks last year, but the Cyclones were only so-so in returning them. They were 81st nationally in kickoff return yards (19.1) and 100th in punt returns (6.8).
"It was never a strength for us last year," McCarney said. "It's got to be a strength for us this fall."
Five of the youngsters are in the
defensive secondary: cornerbacks Bryan Ollie, Johnny Smith, III and Julian Cummings, strong safety Ron Veal, Jr. and free safety Marc Fimmons.
Timmons is listed No. 1 at his position, where senior-to-be Dustin Avey is the returning starter. Avey is being held out this spring after undergoing off-season surgery and will return in the fall.
"That's probably our deepest position on the team right now, and they're all great players." nose guard Ryan Harklau said. "Who knows who'll be the starters when it comes fall, but it's fun to watch because they're all good players."
McCarney fought off the temptation to use a couple of the freshmen last season when injuries felled starting cornerbacks Breon Ansley and Jamarcus Powers. In retrospect, he said, it was a good move.
"None of them right now is locked in to number one and number two, but all those kids are Big 12-caliber defensive backs." McCarrney said.
Wide receivers Lane Danielson and Jamail Montgomery have been among the most impressive young players on offense.
Danielson, a walk-on from Dike, will play on all the special teams and also see action at wide receiver, McCarney said. Montgomery has
impressed quarterback Sage Rosenfelts with his athleticism.
"He might be the best athlete on this team, the way he jumps and the way he runs and the way he can go up and catch the ball and make plays," Rosenfels said.
Another new face on defense is Derrick Walker, the team's backup quarterback last season. Walker, a 6-foot-2-inch, 220-pounder, is in a close battle with returning starter Eric Welford at outside linebacker.
"He's a natural," veteran defensive end Reggie Hayward said. "He's very aggressive; he comes off the ball. He looks like he's been playing defense for a long time. I think he's giving me tips."
McCarney said Walker agreed to the move because he did not want to finish his college career as a No. 2 quarterback. Rosenfels is solidly entrenched as the starter.
"He's got a chance to be a special outside linebacker," McCarney said. "He's learning the fundamentals, but he's got toughness, he's got strength, he's got good speed. He loves it. That's where we want to leave him."
Iowa State will finish spring practice with an intrasquad game Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium. The first and fourth units will play the second and third teams.

THE POWER OF TAX DEFERRAL
INVEST AS LITTLE AS $25 a month through an automatic payroll plan²
In this hypothetical example, setting aside $100 a month in a tax-deferred investment with an 8% return in a 28% tax bracket shows better growth than the same net amount put into a savings account.
1. Under federal tax law, withdrawals prior to age 59/12 are subject to restrictions, and may also be subject to a *10%* additional tax. You may be able to invest in the IRS maximum of $25,000 per year for such withdrawals, but does not reflect actual performance, or predict results of any TAA-CREF account, or reflect expenses.
