Elm’s Club to reopen Friday after dryer fire The 7th annual Bike Night at the Elm’s Club will go on as planned ■

By IAN RICHARDSON CNA staff reporter

irichardson@crestonnews.com

After being in recovery mode for most of the week, the Elm’s Club in Creston will reopen 10:30 a.m. Friday.

The bar and grill has been closed since a dryer fire in the early hours of Mon-

day morning caused nearly $20,000 in smoke damage to the building.

Gus King, Elm’s Club co-owner, said it was discovered by an employee who came in early.

“She usually comes in at 5 or 6,” King said. “That day she went on a bike ride and didn’t get home until midnight and came up about 1:15 to clean.”

A deep cleaning crew from Des Moines came in Wednesday to begin scrubbing walls and will continue

work today. King said the cleaning will begin in the basement Friday, but the main area will be ready for business.

“We’re doing the best we can,” he said. “There’s going to be a little smell. It ain’t bad, but the back entryway is where it’s bad.”

King said although the ex-

perience has been taxing, he is pleased with how quickly the cleanup process has gone.

“For the most part, it just wears on you,” he said, “but other than that, nobody got hurt. That’s the main thing.”

King said the Elm’s Club’s June 26 Bike Night will go on as planned.

While the flames were contained inside the dryer, smoke caused nearly $20,000 in damages to the building.

Huckabee touts experience, Treasury: strong values to caucus voters Woman will be picked for $10 bill

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor

jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

The race for the GOP presidential nomination passed through Creston Wednesday with one of the major candidates, Mike Huckabee, spending time with potential caucus voters.

This will be Huckabee’s second run for the Republican presidential nomination. The former Arkansas governor won eight states in 2008, but did not have the resources to defeat eventual nominee John McCain.

Huckabee, 59, elected to skip the Iowa straw poll this year and focus on executing a successful campaign to repeat his 2008 victory in the Iowa caucus. His focus will be reaching out to voters on a personal level with events similar to his southwest Iowa tour Wednesday that included stops in Clarinda, Red Oak and Creston.

“Doing events like what we did here today in Creston … meeting caucus voters one to one time and again and being here a lot — I don’t think there is any substitute for that — so

Poll reveals abolitionist Harriet Tubman as the top choice for $10 bill.

we will spend a lot of time in Iowa, answer a lot of questions,” Huckabee said.

“I think I have answered more questions in one day than Hillary (Clinton) has answered in two months.”

During Huckabee’s stop at Adams Street Espresso he highlighted his time as governor in Arkansas, emphasized his support of the fair tax and expressed his

strong Christian values.

“His sense of values came shining through with his answers,” said Union County Republican Chairperson Joe Owens. “He understands government, he understands what our nation is facing and he has a sound idea of how to get it fixed ... He knows Iowa values, he knows what we believe in and he knows

that we vote.”

Since his last campaign, Huckabee became wellknown to conservatives for his show on Fox News, authored several books and has been a popular draw as a speaker for fellow Republican candidates.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Alexander Hamilton, who has been featured on the $10 bill since 1929, is making way for a woman.

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew is to officially announce Thursday that a redesign of the $10 will feature the first woman on the nation’s paper money in more than a century.

The plan is to decide which woman sometime this summer.

The bill will have new security features to make it harder to counterfeit and will be unveiled in 2020, the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. The date it will be put into cir-

culation will be announced later.

Lew is asking the public for suggestions on who should be chosen for the bill, as well as what symbols of democracy it should feature. Ideas can be submitted by visiting thenew10. treasury.gov website.

Various groups have been campaigning to get a woman honored on the nation’s paper currency, which has been an all-male domain for more than a century.

The last woman featured on U.S. paper money was Martha Washington, who was on a dollar silver certificate from 1891 to 1896.

The only other woman ever featured on U.S. paper money was Pocahontas, from 1865 to 1869. Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea are on dollar coins.

Women on 20s, had been pushing to get a woman’s portrait on the $20, which currently features Andrew Jackson. They had conducted an online poll that gathered over 600,000 votes. African-American abolitionist Harriett Tubman was the

top choice in that poll.

Lew said that Hamilton, the nation’s first Treasury secretary, would still be honored in some way. He said one possibility being considered would keep Hamilton’s portrait on some of the redesigned $10 bills. Lew said no final decision had been made yet.

Lobster prices rise as summer season gets off to slow start Maine lobstermen and retailers say the summer staple is selling in the $6 or $8 per pound range to consumers.

■

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — American lobster prices are rising as the summer fishing season gets off to a slow start in New England.

Maine lobstermen and retailers say the summer staple is selling in the $6 or $8 per pound range to consumers.

That is an average increase of about $1 to $2 over last year. Lobstermen are also getting about a dollar more per pound for lobster

at the dock.

Prices are high because supply is low.

The season picks up after the bulk of lobsters sheds shells and reaches legal harvesting size.

Lobstermen say that hasn’t happened yet.

Maine is by far the biggest lobster fishing state in the country.

Federal data say more than 85 percent of America’s 2013 lobster catch was from Maine.

Today is June 17, the 168th day of the year.

There are 197 days left in 2015. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (June 15-21) in history.

5 years ago Rainfall totals across southern Iowa exceeded monthly averages for June.

County rainfall averages were 7.73 inches in Union, 7.36 inches in Clarke, 9.67 inches in Ringgold and a state-high of 10.09 inches in Decatur — easily surpassing a typical monthly average of between 4 and 5 inches, and above the current statewide average for June of 5.17 inches. According to agronomist Tracy Cameron, about 8.6 inches of rain had fallen in Creston prior to June 14, nearly 2 inches more than the amount received in May. This moisture replaced surfacing crops with pools of standing water and kept farmers out of the fields for a large part of two weeks.

At the age of 18, blood donor Shelby Andreasen had potentially saved 24 lives.

The Orient-Macksburg graduate reached the one-gallon donation mark during the final drive of the school year. The blood drive was originally scheduled for April, but due to the death of O-M English teacher Mark Peterson, the event had to be rescheduled. Students were able to donate in honor of Peterson, who died of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident, writing brief messages on note cards that read, “I donate to honor you.” Andreasen is an O positive blood type, making her blood universal for anybody that also has a positive blood type. She also helped set up the event. Because of her commitment to donating, Andreasen received a $750 scholarship.

Bili Lepe works in the kitchen at Casa De Oro in Creston in June 2005. The restaurant opened here 10 years ago this month. It was the first Casa to open in Iowa.

There have been five more Casa De Oros to open since then. Other locations include Red Oak, Jefferson, Adel, Perry and Chariton. Lepe’s brothers and sisters manage those restaurants.

Washington laid the ceremonial first brick of the U.S. Capitol, the people who did most of the dangerous, back-breaking construction under the hot sun of the Potomac weren’t considered full citizens. For about 220 years, the fact that enslaved African-Americans built the U.S. Capitol was rarely mentioned and never recognized until 2010. The leaders of both parties of the Senate and the House of Representatives gathered June 16 to unveil a plaque honoring the slaves who helped build the U.S. Capitol.

Dr. E.R. Pennebaker and wife Bessie of Lenox celebrated their 81st wedding anniversary. The couple was married June 14, 1924, in Bedford. He was 21. She was 16. The Pennebakers lived in Lenox all of their married life, until moving to Lenox Care Center after E.R. turned 100.

In the datebook, on June 16, 1858, in a speech in Springfield, Ill., Senate candidate Abraham Lincoln

said the slavery issue had to be resolved, declaring, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

Creston High School Principal Todd Wolverton was recipient of the School Administrators of Iowa Secondary Principal of the Year award.

A new state law restricting the sale of drugs made with an ingredient used in methamphetamine appeared to be slowing down production. The number of labs found in the state in May dropped 75 percent from 2004. Authorities reported finding 28 meth labs in Iowa in May 2005 compared with 116 in May 2004.

In the datebook, on June 16, 1963, Soviet 26-year-old Valentina Tereshkova became the first female space traveler when she piloted a satellite through 48 orbits of the earth.

Nearly 140 Creston area residents paid $50 a piece for a chance to ride the rails behind Frisco 1522 – a restored steam engine hired by Bur-

lington Northern Railroad for a series of publicity stops and appearances in Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa. The engine, operated by St. Louis Steam Train Association, was a 1926 “mountain type” engine used until 1951 for long haul passenger trains.

Dubbed the Heartland Whistletop Tour 1995, the engine and accompanying hospitality cars covered nearly 1,000 miles of track in June, traveling from its home in St. Louis County to Kansas City, Mo., Lincoln, Neb., Galesburg, Ill., and back to St. Louis. The train passed through Brooks, Corning, Prescott, Cromwell and into Creston. The train was greeted at nearly every crossing by crowds.

More than 1,000 area residents gathered at McKinley Park bandshell June 20 for a return performance by The Jazz Ambassadors of the United States Army Field Band. The crowd was entertained nearly two hours with a large selection of music from big band to rhythm and blues.

heartwarming when I talk about issues that really resonate with people,” Huckabee said. “It is issues that people in Washington don’t get … I don’t think a lot of people in Washington are in touch with the reality of how people feel in the rest of the country.”

The Iowa caucus will help thin the highly competitive Republican field. There are currently 15 candidates competing for the nomination to

face Clinton in the general election.

“I am the only candidate that has fought the Clinton machine before and know how to beat it,” Huckabee said. “I think the people are looking for someone who can bring in folks who maybe don’t normally vote Republican.”

Huckabee said the election should not be about who has the biggest bank account, but who has the experience to govern.

He added people are more interested in who wins or loses campaigns instead of if the American people win or lose when certain people take office.

“I hope your first and second opinion is going to be to help me win the Iowa caucus, win the nomination and get to the White House,” Huckabee said. “I say sometimes, did you ever see a turtle sitting on a fence post? One thing you can be sure of, he didn’t get there by himself.

And folks, if a person becomes president of the United States, rest assured he did not get there by himself. I have to have your votes.”

impaired drivers involved in those fatal crashes had a BAC of .15 or higher and the incidence of impaired driving was over three times higher at night than during the day. Twenty-seven percent of motorcycle operators involved in fatal crashes had BACs of .08 or higher. During that same time period, six people were killed on Iowa roadways.

Half of those fatal crashes were alcohol related.

Extra law enforcement officers will be present on Iowa roadways July 1–7, watching for impaired drivers. If you have been drinking, don’t risk it; make a plan before the celebration begins.

OPINION Writing might be in the stars

One of my favorite things to do with my coworkers is talk about books and movies. We have such varying degrees of respect for different genres that sometimes it makes for interesting conversation hearing what two opposite-thinkers think about one bit of entertainment.

I’ve lent books to my coworkers before, thanks to my spare bedroom so full of books I’ve started decorating other rooms in the house with them by color, and love

hearing what they think of the writing or story lines. If I got paid to sit and read novels all day and discuss them with others, I would jump on that opportunity like a cat on a field mouse (which, to my horror,

Pawter decided to do last week).

A friend of mine, Kate Padilla, who works at the Spencer Daily Reporter in Spencer, recently came out with a book of short stories called “Save Me, San Francisco.”

While I unfortunately have not had the chance to read it, I know it will be as interesting and well-versed as Kate is.

I’ve found it rather interesting how many people I know have considered a career in writing. Everyone in the newsroom at the Cres-

ton paper writes for a living, so you have journalism. But, I’ve got several friends who have written short story anthologies, or have even gone on to write novels (though, I don’t believe any have been published yet).

I can’t imagine how difficult it can be publishing a novel, at least compared to publishing a few news stories every week for a local paper. I haven’t discussed the process with any of my friends, but I can only imagine how weary it can be

sending manuscripts to publishing houses just to receive a single sheet of paper spelling out a rejection.

Then, I think of the many books decorating my humble abode and wonder how those authors managed to convince a publisher to print the pages of their life’s work.

Really, it sounds like a whirlwind of a journey, and hopefully it is something some of us here at the Creston News Advertiser continue with if it’s in our stars to do so.

Spokane’s NAACP head Rachel Dolezal resigned HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Donald Trump announced to a cheering crowd in the lobby of the Trump Tower in Manhattan on Tuesday that he’s running for the Republican nomination for president. He gave a very patriotic speech. Donald Trump will bring to the U.S. presidency what our Founding Fathers did, powdered wigs.

Donald Trump’s decision to enter the presidential race set off a celebration by comedians at the Comedy Store in L.A. Tuesday.

Forget about his candidacy luring Jon Stewart, Jay Leno and David Letterman out of retirement, Johnny Carson will come back from the dead to joke about this campaign.

Donald Trump accused Mexico of being America’s biggest enemy Tuesday. He said they send us murderers and drug dealers but he added he assumes some of them are good people. Donald Trump’s great talent is the ability to say whatever is on his mind, then later make it look like it was mental illness.

White House fence jumper Omar Gonzalez was sentenced to fourteen months in prison Tuesday for jumping over the White House fence. The good news is, the Secret Service agents have been reassigned for letting an intruder leap over the fence. The bad news is, they’re now in the Border Patrol.

Pope Francis issued an encyclical on climate change demanding that rich nations make up for their abuse of the earth’s resources. He’s displaying his worldly side. Pope Francis started out as a bouncer outside a nightclub in Buenos Aires and to this day it’s easier for pretty girls to get into heaven.

Spokane’s NAACP head Ra-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

chel Dolezal resigned Monday after her parents outed her as white, after she’d spent years claiming she was African-American. She couldn’t hide her whiteness forever. She was last seen walking out of the Spokane NAACP office carrying a box full of country music CDs. Rachel Dolezal’s parents went on TV to announce that their daughter is white and that she lied about being black. The case is closed. They ended all argument when they showed the cameras her Montana birth certificate, a document even Hitler used to honor, sight unseen, as proof of Aryan blood.

Hillary Clinton told a crowd Saturday that as a teen in Park Ridge she volunteered at her Methodist Church to babysit for the kids of Mexican migrant workers working the fields. What an angel. She’d gather all the children into a circle for story time, and then charge them two hundred thousand dollars per story.

Jeb Bush unveiled his campaign logo which drops Bush and simply reads Jeb. Smart move. When voters see Jeb maybe they’ll think of Jeb Stuart or Jeb Magruder, and being associated with a Confederate general or Nixon’s White House is probably less damaging than with the Iraq War. The FDA ordered removal of all hyrogenated oil from U.S. food in three years to eliminiate trans fats and battle heart disease. It’s a lost cause. Carl’s Jr. just unveiled a giant burger which has beef patties, bacon, cheese, hot dogs and potato chips all between two buns, and it’s a huge hit with survivors.

2014

Gone but not forgotten I grew up in cemeteries. They were part of our education, recreation and, too often, conversation.

As a child, my grandmother spread a tablecloth over a grave slab for our picnic. We battled the ants for our deviled eggs served atop our more stable kin.

My mother saw to it that we visited the cemeteries where important men are buried: Confederate generals, distant relatives and Hank Williams. It wasn’t a successful outing unless a cemetery was involved.

Cemetery importance did not diminish after childhood. My late husband, a journalism professor, routinely told his students that if they could spell “cemetery,” they’d get a job. I know from personal experience the word was on the spelling test for employment at the Memphis, Tennessee, newspaper, along with “lightning” and “inoculation.”

My parents planned their burial spots in detail when they were still relatively young. Whenever I’d come home for a visit, we’d sit for hours as they rehashed the minutia of lot sizes, placement and tombstone wording.

Once, when I was between husbands, they offered me a marker beside them as my Christmas present. They only thing I’d have to supply was a death date.

I declined.

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

My favorite all-time cemetery is in Cross Creek, Fla., where the writer Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings is buried. The year I visited, the remote site was following that ashes-to-ashes formula that perpetual care contradicts. The swampy place seemed to be taking care of itself.

My husband Hines and I were having a recent, late-night, ipso facto, animated, discussion about cemeteries. I was taking the rather indefensible position that too much is made of grooming ghosts, that we should scrub and rake and prune where the living live, not where the dead are lying. Give your artificial flowers to the living, and all of that.

Hines was having none of it. He quickly noted how much I love walking the grounds of Pere La Chaise in Paris, stumbling across the tombs of Chopin and Piaf, not to mention Jim Morrison. And he reminded me how I try to visit Hank’s gravesite once a year, and that I’m as fond of strolling through fascinating old cemeteries as the next person. How would I be

able to do that if someone weren’t taking care of business?

And, he said in his most authoritative voice, cemeteries are for the living, to give solace and space for rumination -- not to mention picnics. The living, then, must tend them.

He won the immediate argument, though I’m still not convinced that there’s physical room on this old earth for everyone to have a tomb like Grant, Napoleon or even Marjorie Rawlings.

We must evolve in death as in life.

Cremation is to burial what birds are to fish.

I for one volunteer to forgo the “fancy filigree” that Lucinda Williams sings about when she advises against spending money on a funeral that could put “cover on the bed.”

I’d rather be scattered about some swamp, or maybe the Gulf of Mexico when the wind is seaward.

That will save my niece the trouble of trimming the privet. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ... And Warmed Our Cold, Cold Hearts.” Comments are welcomed at rhetagrimsley@aol.com. (c) 2015 Rheta Grimsley Johnson Distributed by King Features Syndicate

Pope urges revolution to save Earth VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis called Thursday for a bold cultural revolution to correct what he calls the “structurally perverse” economic system of the rich exploiting the poor that is turning Earth into an “immense pile of filth.”

In a sweeping manifesto aimed at spurring action in U.N. climate negotiations, domestic politics and everyday life, Francis explains the science of global warming, which he blames on an unfair, fossil fuel-based industrial model that he says harms the poor most. Citing Scripture and past popes’ and bishops’ appeals, he urges people of all faiths and no faith to undergo an awakening to save God’s creation for future generations.

It’s an indictment of big business and climate doubters alike.

“It is not enough to balance, in the medium term, the protection of nature with financial gain, or the preservation of the environment with progress,” he writes. “Halfway measures simply delay the inevitable disaster. Put simply, it is a matter of redefining our notion of progress.”

Environmental scientists said the first ever encyclical, or teaching document, on the environment could have a dramatic effect on the climate debate, lending the moral authorstudy.

ity of the immensely popular Francis to an issue that has long been cast in purely political, economic and scientific terms.

Veerabhadran Ramanathan, a Scripps Institution of Oceanography scientist, said the encyclical would be a “game-changer in making people think about this.”

“It’s not politics anymore,” he said, adding that science is usually difficult for people to understand but that people respond to arguments framed by morality and ethics.

The energy lobby was quick to criticize the encyclical and its anti-fossil fuel message.

“The simple reality is that energy is the essential building block of the modern world,” said Thomas Pyle of the Institute of Energy Research, a conservative free-market group. “The application of affordable energy makes everything we do — food production, manufacturing, health care, transportation, heating and air conditioning — better.”

Francis said he hoped his effort would lead ordinary people in their daily lives and decision-makers at critical U.N. climate meetings later this year to a wholesale change of mind and heart, saying “both the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor” must now be heard. time; 10:30 a.m. church service.

Longer-lasting tire tale Dear Heloise: Regarding the hint to limit DAMAGE TO TIRES: Many tire shops offer free rotation and balance for the life of the tire. I bought 65,000-mile-warranty tires for my truck. I took it back every six weeks for a rotation and balance, and my tires lasted almost 72,000 miles using this service. — Louis G. in San Antonio You are right on the tire!

Some local and regional tire shops do offer a lifetime warranty. (Two national manufacturers I checked do not.)

Every six weeks may seem too often to some, but it’s more about the mileage than the time frame.

If you drive 200-250 miles a day (which is not unusual in TEXAS), five days a week, that can add up to 6,000-7,500 miles in six weeks, which is around the usual recommendation from tire manufacturers to have tires rotated. It’s all in the numbers.

So, readers, take note of the miles on your tires and take care of them, and they will take care of you. As my Grandfather Bowles (an auto mechanic who owned a shop) taught me, the only thing between you and the road are the tires.

Be safe and drive safely. —

Hints from Heloise Your friend, Heloise CLEAN SPA TUB Dear Heloise: Could you please reprint your solution for cleaning a spa tub? — Vicki S., Farmington, Ark. I have done extensive research over many years. If you are talking about cleaning the “insides” — i.e., the plumbing — it’s easy. Note: There are different-size tubs — small, medium and large — thus, varying amounts of water.

These are just a guideline of amounts.

Depending on the amount of use, once a month or so, fill the tub with HOT water, covering the jets by about 2-3 inches. Add 1/2 to 1 cup of powdered DISHWASHER detergent. (DON’T use laundry detergent! You will have more suds than you can deal with!) Also add 1/2 cup of liquid household bleach. Run the jets for 10-15 minutes, stop and let it sit for 20 minutes or so, then drain. That should do it. When bathing, try to avoid soaps and bubble baths that contain oil, which can “junk

I put them in a plastic contact-lens case. The dollar stores carry them. — A Reader, Fort Myers, Fla. EASY-ON PJ’S Dear Heloise: Most pajama tops are roomy. To save time when getting ready for bed, I leave my pajama top buttoned and slide it on and off over my head. — M.A., San Angelo, Texas OPEN YOGURT CUP Dear Heloise: When I used to open my yogurt, it would always “burp” and “spit” a bit.

Horoscope Friday, June 19, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a playful, fun-loving day. Make plans to enjoy sports events, social diversions, the theater, musical performances or playful activities with children. What a great date night!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Home, family and your private life comprise your primary focus today. Ideally, you will entertain at home tonight and, possibly, discuss real-estate deals or decorating ideas.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a strong day to sell, market, teach, act and write. You feel motivated and optimistic — and that’s all you need.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Money and possessions are your primary focus today. It will please you to take care of something you already own or repair it.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The Moon is in your sign today, which brings you a little bit of extra good luck. Milk this for all it’s worth. Admittedly, you might be a bit more emotional than usual.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Work alone or behind the scenes today because the Moon is “hiding” in your chart.

This means that you likewise want to hide from the busyness of everyone around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Enjoy schmoozing with others, because this is a social day for you. Share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone, because his or her feedback will help you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Details about your personal life are made rather public today, perhaps to your chagrin. Don’t worry, because the divine energy of lucky Jupiter will protect you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because you want to expand your world today, travel if you can. At least, be a tourist in your own city and learn something new that is stimulating!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You will feel better if you can clear up loose details about inheritances, taxes, debt and shared possessions. You don’t like things that are important to be fuzzy or unclear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Discussions with others will fare best if you are accom-

modating and cooperative.

Because the Moon is opposite your sign, you have to be nice to others.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Make a to-do list today so that you can run errands, as well as do something to burn off your newly pumped physical energy. You have high standards for yourself today, both personally and for world around you.

YOU BORN TODAY You are strong and persuasive. You also know how to inspire oth-

ers. Perhaps this is because you meet challenges head on with great courage yourself.

So that you can prepare for a time of accumulation in the next three years, settle your debts this year. (To clear away indebtedness is the thrust of this year.) Consolidate your affairs for future growth.

Looking good!

Real Estate Report IT IS NO SECRET

There’s no secret to determining the right asking price, only research and hard work. Some sellers expect to receive 3-5% appreciation on their home’s original cost per year. Historically you can expect to see 5%. Some sellers base the cost of their used home on what it would cost to buy a new home (replacement cost). Others set their price based on financial need. The right price is that which buyers are willing to pay. Sellers set an asking price but the buying price is an agreement between the buyer and seller. When selling, price your home correctly from the beginning. Don’t be tempted to try a higher price to “see what happens.” Call Retta for more advice at 782-9408.

FAMILY FEATURES

F

or busy families juggling to keep up with the pace of life, technology brings convenience and peace of mind to home life, making things easier for all of us. At the touch of a button, new technologies meet the needs of busy families who benefit from thoughtful, technological shortcuts throughout the house.

In the home ■

■

■

It is now possible to control lighting throughout the interior and exterior of your home using your smartphone. With the proper bulbs, in-home Wi-Fi network and an app on your phone or tablet, you can control lights from anywhere and even schedule lights to turn off and on at intervals to give the appearance that someone is home. You’ll never have to enter a dark house again when you use lights with geofencing technology, which recognizes when you pull in the driveway and turns lights on automatically.

Similarly, you can automate and control your home’s temperature from your smartphone or device. Although many thermostats allow you to drop temperatures while you’re away at work for the day, options such as the Nest Learning Thermostat and Honeywell Lyric take climate management to a whole new level, learning your schedule and adjusting temperatures automatically.

Motorized drapes not only add a stylish enhancement to your windows, they help keep dawn at bay and your privacy intact Photo courtesy of Getty Images through smartphone control. A variety of options allow you to customize settings based on needs, such as blocking daylight, obscuring valuables from outside view, managing the impact of UV rays on your possessions or regulating solar heat.

In the garage ■

■

■

Peace of mind that the garage door is closed and the home is secure comes in the palm of your hand with the Chamberlain Wi-Fi Garage Door Opener and MyQ Garage smartphone app. The first garage door opener with Wi-Fi built in lets you open and close your garage from anywhere and receive alerts to your phone every time the door has opened, closed or been left open. And if you already have a working garage door opener, you can add this same smartphone connectivity to nearly any garage door with MyQ Garage. Learn more at www.chamberlain.com.

The daily grind can make it tough to manage maintenance, even for items as important as your vehicle.

Fortunately, there are numerous apps, such as Gas Cubby, that let you take control of your car care by helping monitor and save on gas, and Automatic, which tracks driver behavior and auto performance, recommending maintenance and repair schedules to improve your vehicle’s overall health.

Dead battery? Dead cell phone? With JumpStarter, a new product from Chamberlain, you’ll never be left stranded. The device provides multiple outputs for charging not only your car, but everyday devices, such as cell phones, tablets, MP3 players, GPS, portable game consoles and cameras — and its small size fits in the glove box.

In the backyard ■ ■

■

With landscaping a chore for many, and water conservation a growing concern, a robotic hose attachment may be the answer, delivering precise amounts of water to each plant.

For a large yard, or to use your existing irrigation system, a smart sprinkler system may be a better answer to keep your yard looking lush. Most models can be customized by valve or zone, and many use weather data or moisture sensors to ensure the right amount of water is delivered each time.

When dinner plans call for a steak on the grill, keep your meal deliciously on target with a smartphone app, such as iGrill or Grill It, which guides you to the perfect temperature based on variables such as the cut and thickness.

With such advancements right at your fingertips, it’s becoming easier than ever for families to manage household tasks and functions quickly and easily with new, secure technologies, making time for other more important activities.

What is Apple HomeKit? It may seem like “The Jetsons” cartoon has come to life, but new gadgets are making it possible to operate a growing number of appliances and home systems from a single device, even when you’re far from home.

Expected for release in mid 2015, Apple HomeKit will make controlling smart devices simpler or more seamless using iPhone and Siri. Some of the first products to support HomeKit are Chamberlain MyQ garage door openers, Honeywell thermostats, the iDevices Switch and Schlage door locks.

Imagine relaxing at the end of the day, saying, “Siri, I’m going to bed now, is my house secure?”

HomeKit will confirm that your garage door is closed, doors are locked and the thermostat is in nighttime mode.

And the Apple Watch will have a place in the home as well. You can expect to control many of these devices and other apps from the watch on your wrist, where you might receive notifications that you left the garage door open after leaving the house.

Evolving technology means more sophisticated alternatives are yet to come. It’s clear that when it comes to home management technology, the future is only a click away.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

SPEED FREAKS

3 questions we had to ask — ourselves How many top-10s will Truex Jr. get this year?

THINGS WE LEARNED AT MICHIGAN

Associated Press / CARLOS OSORIO

Every driver would love to be in Martin Truex Jr.’s shoes these days. He’s on a roll in a contract year.

ROB’S RAMBLINGS: Not even the rain could stop him. I’m thinking high 20s might be too lofty, but 25 could be within reach.

KEN’S CALL: Let’s assume the 14-for-15 pace will eventually slow, so I’ll go with 22, which means the slump will come at the wrong time.

Impressed by Truex Jr. yet?

There have been two statistical oddities of an exceptional kind so far — Kevin Harvick’s 10 finishes of first or second, as well as Martin Truex’s 14 top-10s through 15 races. If you’re lumped into the history book alongside anything Richard Petty did in the 1960s, you’re doing something right. But I’ll be more impressed if Truex uses this run wisely.

Junior’s going to Germany on the off week — what could go wrong?

ROB’S RAMBLINGS: Junior on a commercial flight? The problems might start well before getting to Germany. The interesting trip could be through security.

KEN’S CALL: Absolutely nothing. Well ... barring genealogy embarrassments, of course.

Anything worse than a rain-shortened race?

ROB’S RAMBLINGS: If you’re a gambler, it’s great. How about 8-1 odds on Kurt? For everyone else it’s, “We waited a week for this?”

KEN’S CALL: As a fan, probably not. But a postponement to Monday is pretty close.

You talking leverage?

Associated Press/DAVE FRECHETTE

Last July at Daytona, Aric Almirola got lucky with rainfall; Sunday at Michigan, he only got wet.

1. Missed Opportunities

2. The Other Busch

3. The Good and the Bad

For Kyle Larson, Kasey Kahne and Jeff Gordon — three non-winners who face trying to make the Chase on points — a rain-shortened race was a golden opportunity to sneak in a win. Larson threatened for a while, but the threatening weather would not cooperate, and he had to pit before the heavy rains.

Kyle Busch’s weekend: Win on Saturday, wreck on Sunday. In Saturday’s Xfinity race, Kyle collected his first win since returning from injury. But on the Cup side, where he desperately needs a win to be Chase eligible, his Sunday ended shortly after a restart on Lap 60 when he careened hard into a wall.

Stewart-Haas Racing almost lived up to the motto of Ricky Bobby’s dad, “If you’re not first, you’re last.” After Kurt Busch, the winner, SHS struggled. Danica Patrick led two laps and finished 16th, Tony Stewart was 28th and Kevin Harvick suffered a flat tire and finished 29th.

I’m talking leverage. Truex’s twoyear contract with Furniture Row Racing ends in November, and these five months of overachieving puts him in perfect position to dramatically improve his career opportunities in the coming years.

Life is leverage, and Truex has an industrial-sized hand truck in his trunk. If he’s smart, he won’t be shy about wheeling it to the bank.

Junior to Germany?

Yep, and not just a sightseeing trip, we hear. The Earnhardt traveling party will spend some time investigating the family heritage. He says he’s planned for several years to do this, and now that he’s 40, why wait any longer? Who knew Junior was suddenly so worldly? Here’s guessing he’ll expand his German vocabulary beyond the words “Anheuser” and “Busch.”

FEUD OF THE WEEK

THINGS TO WATCH FOR AT SONOMA DAVID GILLILAND

1. Can Toyota win its sponsored race?

DAVID GILLILAND VS. MIKE BLISS: Gilliland wrecked early and finished 42nd, suggesting Bliss “just kind of ran us over.”

KEN WILLIS’ TAKE: “Good news: It’s the first time in weeks these two got their names in the paper.”

Last year saw a Chevy/Ford dominance. Clint Bowyer (10th, five laps led) and Brian Vickers (14th, no laps led) were the lone Toyota drivers to even make the top 20. Toyota’s average finish: 28th.

2. Harvick watch A few drivers we sometimes overlook are roadcourse savvy and can sneak in a strong finish here. Kevin Harvick’s knack for finishing top-two gets much tougher here. But he led 23 laps last year before a late crash and 20th-place finish.

WHAT’S ON TAP XFINITY: Owens Corning Atticat 300 SITE: Chicagoland Speedway TV SCHEDULE: Friday, practice (Fox Sports 2, 3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.).

3. Jeff, we’re still waiting Jeff Gordon’s swan-song season is still without a win, but after his strong finish here last year, there’s hope in Sonoma. He finished second to Carl Edwards after a late pass attempt failed.

Gordon has five wins and 14 top-5s here.

National Digest

Cubs roll CLEVELAND — Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber provided a major boost to the Chicago Cubs’ offense on Wednesday night.

Bryant had a grand slam and Schwarber was 4-for5, including his first major league hit and RBI, and the Cubs hit four home runs to rout the Cleveland Indians 17-0.

The Cubs scored seven times in the ninth inning, which ended with Indians position players Ryan Raburn and David Murphy pitching.

The offensive outburst was the most runs scored in a shutout win by the Cubs since they blanked San Diego 19-0 on May 13, 1969.

The Indians suffered their most lopsided defeat since losing 23-2 at Minnesota on June 4, 2002.

Schwarber, the fourth pick in last year’s draft who was called up Tuesday, tripled in the second to key a six-run inning and added an RBI single in the third when the Cubs scored four times.

Schwarber hit into a double play in the fourth and singled in the seventh.

He added an infield hit in the ninth.

Canes eliminated OMAHA, Neb. — Shut out and limited to two hits by Virginia two nights earlier, Florida’s offense was back to its usual prolific self against Miami.

The Gators hit four home runs and scored in double digits for the fourth time in five games while dominating the Hurricanes again at the College World Series, this time 10-2 in an elimination game Wednesday night.

Kevin O’Sullivan’s Gators (51-17) now get another crack at Virginia on Friday, needing to beat the Cavaliers twice to reach next week’s bestof-three finals. Miami (50-17) struggled mightily on offense in Omaha and went 1-2 in its first CWS appearance since 2008.

The Gators outscored Miami 25-5 and collected 28 hits in their two CWS meetings, with Saturday’s 15-3 win the most lopsided postseason loss in Miami history. Florida has knocked Miami out of the NCAA tournament four times since 2009.

The locker room was cleared out by about 2 a.m. eastern time.

It’s not unusual for Drew Yoder to be on an airplane.

It’s his life for the better part of eight months a year.

But there was some special cargo on his flight to Oakland, Calif., Wednesday afternoon.

Upon touchdown at Oakland International Airport, Yoder was part of the Golden State Warriors crew traveling back from Cleveland to show adoring fans the NBA’s Larry O’Brien trophy. The team and employees landed at 3:15 p.m.

PDT after a night-long celebration and nearly five-hour flight back to the Bay Area.

Yoder, a 2004 Mount Ayr Community High School graduate, was part of the team staff accompanying NBA MVP Andre Iguodala, NBA MVP Steph Curry and the rest of the Warriors after Tuesday night’s 10597 victory in Game 6 that clinched the NBA Finals series against the host Cleveland Cavaliers.

It was the Warriors’ first NBA title in 40 years, ending a dismal 39-year period in which the team missed the playoffs 30 of those years and won a grand total of five playoff series during that span.

“It’s still a little surreal,” said Yoder, 29, the team’s assistant athletic trainer.

“Right after the game they bring out the stage real quick, and make all the presentations up there. Ev-

erybody was just hugging each other. The length of this season wears you down, and finally everybody could take a deep breath. It was all worth it!”

The Warriors had the league’s best record during the regular season, and Cleveland suffered two key injuries in the playoffs to Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving. Yet, the Cavs held a 2-1 edge in the final series and the title dream seemed in jeopardy.

Iguodala, who accepted his role as sixth man during the regular season, re-entered the starting lineup in Game 4 Iguodala and ended up beating out LeBron James and his

own teammate, Curry, as the NBA Finals MVP. Yoder, a basketball and golf athlete at Mount Ayr, said the lineup adjustment was just one example of the effectiveness of first-year coach Steve Kerr.

“He knows how to put the right pieces together,” Yoder said. “Just like when he put his staff together. He knows the game extremely well, but as a first-year coach, he brought in great experience with (associate head coach) Alvin Gentry and Ron Adams, and younger guys like Luke Walton and Jarron Collins, who could relate with the guys really well. The great thing about coach Kerr is, he’s straightforward with everybody, and he trusts people to do their jobs. He’s great to work for.”

Yoder said it was a long night of celebration for ev-

Area baseball Mount Ayr 4, East Union 0 AFTON — Levi Jarred was dominant on the mound for Mount Ayr, as the Raiders picked up a Pride of Iowa Conference road win here Tuesday over East Union, 4-0.

Zach Murphy finished 2-for-4 at the plate with two RBI and a stolen base. Joe Ricker went 1-2 and Jacob Taylor hit an RBI triple.

Rhett Murphy finished 1-3 with an RBI. Lucas Wurster also recorded a hit for Mount Ayr. Brandon Lee took the loss on the hill for East Union.

Bedford 7, SW Valley 2 BEDFORD — Bedford scored five runs in the second inning, propelling the Bulldogs to a 7-2 win over Southwest Valley here Tuesday.

“One inning really did us in tonight,” Southwest Valley head coach Pete Nett said. “We walked a couple of guys and hit a couple guys, and then they got a big hit and put up a five-spot, and that turned out to be the difference in the game.”

Chance Cobb took the loss on the hill, pitching 1 1/3 innings and giving up five earned runs on one hit, two walks, to hit batsmen and

Ryan Allison singled and drove in two runs for Southwest Valley, while R y a n Carlson hit a single and a Allison double.

Nick Frederick hit two singles and scored two runs.

Hunter Pontius singled and Clint Mullen doubled.

“I thought our hitters did a fairly nice job of being disciplined at the plate, and I thought Lane Peterson did a great job in relief, pitching out of some tough situations,” Nett said.

Twins rally MINNEAPOLIS — A banner May had given way to a horrible June, and Minnesota Twins manager Paul Molitor was desperate for a win.

That meant going to closer Glen Perkins in the eighth inning. The AllStar made it interesting, but stayed perfect.

Perkins pitched four outs to improve to 23 for 23 in save chances and Tommy Milonegave up one run in seven innings to help the Twins squeak out a 3-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night.

“Back in the locker room there must have been 200 bottles of champagne,” Yoder said. “Everything in there was covered up, and c h a m p a g n e was everywhere.

Harrison B a r n e s Yoder had said during the season that he would have his first drink of alcohol, ever, if we won the title. So, he had some champagne and the guys were having fun with him. The season is such a marathon, and once you hit the playoffs the intensity is so high in every game, that it’s just a big relief to be done and to end on top.”

“Steph and Andre had a lot of media obligations, and they had the trophy in a room with professional photographers and guys with the team could have their pictures taken with it,” Yoder said. “We went back to the hotel and then had a team dinner at Morton’s Steakhouse. We rented out the place and stayed until about 4 a.m. Eventually we shut everything down about 6 in the morning and we had to be on the plane at noon. I can’t even explain the emotions everyone had at that team meal, thinking back to the start of the season and how everyone wanted to finish like that.”

For a team to succeed, the players need to be in top form, and that’s where Yoder and head athletic trainer JoHan Wang are involved.

For home games, there are also team physicians available, but for day-to-day rehabilitation, recovery and treatment of assorted ailments, Yoder is on duty.

“Counting the preseason, we played 111 games this year,” Yoder said. “It’s so hard to get it done night in and night out. My boss and I manage all the injuries and illnesses, the total health care of all 15 guys. These guys work so hard to stay ahead of it. Harrison Barnes

YODER: Continued from page 9A

has a routine he puts his body through every day to get ready to play, and he’s so focused about it. He’s definitely someone for the kids in Iowa to look up to.”

Iowa ties Barnes is an Ames High School graduate who went on to play at North Carolina.

On one off-season visit back Barnes home, Yoder saw a sportsmanship poster hanging in Mount Ayr Community High School and took a picture of it to send to Barnes’ teammates.

“I said, look, I can’t even go back home without seeing this guy!” Yoder said.

“He takes it great. There is just great chemistry among the guys on this team. That makes it even better, because I’m guessing it’s not that way on every NBA team.”

Besides getting ready for Friday’s championship parade in downtown Oakland, Yoder’s work is not finished.

He was already at the team’s facility for awhile Wednesday after the team arrived.

“We have guys leaving, doing their exit physicals,” Yoder said. “We want to make sure everything is taken care of, injury-wise, before heading off for the sum-

mer. We’ve had guys coming in for pre-draft workouts, and then after the draft we’ll have guys on our summer league team in Las Vegas, so we’ll be out there with them.”

Finally, in July and August, Yoder has some time to come home for awhile and take a vacation before the grind resumes in late September to begin his third season with the organization.

“It’s been great hearing from everybody back home, especially during the playoffs,” Yoder said. “A lot of people said they really don’t follow the NBA, but because of me they were rooting for Golden State to win. That was nice.”

It’s the second time in a year that someone with Mount Ayr ties has taken a high-level position in Bay Area professional athletics.

Trent Bartling, son of former Mount Ayr Community High School principal Darrel Bartling, became manager of ticket operations for Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, in May 2014.

Yoder is also the second person with Mount Ayr ties to win a national championship in the past year. Ezekiel Elliott, son of Dawn and Stacy Elliott, was MVP of Ohio State’s football championship over Oregon in January. Dawn (Huff) Elliott is a graduate of Mount Ayr Community High School and the 1990 Des Moines

Register Female Athlete of the Year in Iowa.

Brother’s footsteps Yoder’s older brother Brandon, who went to high school in Mount Ayr with Creston athletic trainer Chris Leonard, is director of sports medicine at Marquette University. He oversees all of the athletic trainers there, and directly handles the men’s basketball training duties.

Drew and Brandon are the sons of Brett and Debbie Yoder of rural Mount Ayr. Drew said he wanted to stay involved in athletics somehow, and followed his brother’s vocational pursuits.

“I always looked up to him and I thought it would be interesting work,” Yoder said.

“I graduated from Kansas State in 2008 and then went to the University of Missouri for grad school, and got a grad assistant position for the football team for two years while getting my master’s.”

The job market was tight in 2010 and Yoder ended up taking an internship with Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. While working there, he got connected with the Dallas Mavericks, who used SMU facilities for their training camp.

“I helped them out and I was their contact person for the training staff,” Yoder said. “They were looking for a game-day intern and I ended up doing that, along

with working for SMU. The Mavericks won a title (201011) too, but I was in a much smaller role for them at that time than what I do now.

I didn’t even travel with them.”

Still, he did such a good job that he was recommended to Golden State when the Warriors had a training staff job opening.

“My boss, now, called me and asked if I’d interested in working for the Warriors,” Yoder said. “I had kind of set my eyes on working in college for football or basketball, but I thought it sounded like too good of an opportunity to pass up. The guys with the Mavericks are a huge part of why I’m here now.”

Living in Berkeley Hills, just north of the University of California, and heading to work at the Golden State Warriors facility is a big change from driving north from the family farm to Mount Ayr High School every day. But Yoder hasn’t forgotten his roots.

“Now when I go back home, it seems so different, because I’ve been living in the bigger areas for so long,” he said. “But I still appreciate where I came from. Harrison and I talk about Iowa all the time. We’re grateful for the communities we were raised in. I love Mount Ayr.” And, now, Mount Ayr loves the Golden State Warriors.

Feds: Ex-bookkeeper embezzled $1.4M from Iowa farming co-op DES MOINES (AP) — The former bookkeeper for a western Iowa farming cooperative has admitted she embezzled nearly $1.4 million over six years by writing checks to herself.

Kathy Joan Cullen, who worked 27 years for the 21st Century Cooperative in Cass County, pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court in Des Moines to one count of filing a false 2009 tax return.

The cooperative informed its stockholders in October that it had uncovered embezzlement by an employee who had been fired, and that the county sheriff was investigating. Cullen, 67, had been in charge of payroll for the cooperative, which provides services such as storing grain for area farmers and has locations in Massena, Sorensens, Fontanelle, Greenfield, and Cumberland.

Under a plea agreement with prosecutors, Cullen admitted that she wrote nearly $1.4 million in checks to herself from 2008 to 2013 and deposited the funds in her personal bank account. The plea agreement says the state and federal governments lost

$553,000 in income tax revenue. In 2009 alone, Cullen embezzled $300,000 from the cooperative, which she omitted on her tax return, the agreement states.

The agreement calls for her to pay restitution to the cooperative “for all relevant conduct” in an amount to be determined later. The cooperative and the IRS also can seek civil remedies against Cullen.

Cass County Sheriff Darby McLaren said he doubted restitution would ever be paid in full “because that’s such a large amount of money.” He said the county asked federal officials whether they wanted to prosecute Cullen given the size of the embezzlement.

“It’s kind of sad for everybody,” he said.

“There’s no winners in this.”

Cullen was released after Wednesday’s hearing and is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 1. She faces up to three years in prison, but is likely to receive less — if any — prison time. The plea agreement gives her credit for promptly accepting responsibility for the crime.

Cullen’s attorney didn’t immediately return a phone message Thursday.

Emerald ash borer:

Local tree trimmer Dave McNeill located this emerald ash borer Saturday while splitting logs at his residence in Afton. The emerald ash borer is a dark-green insect that infests ash trees and can kill them over time. This photo, taken by Afton Police Chief John Coulter, shows what it looks like. Coulter said he had previously spotted several “suspicious” trees in Afton. He said the best way to spot the ash borer is to check your ash trees for bore holes and dead branches that haven’t bloomed. Any incidents should be reported to city hall.

White man sought in killing Public notice of 9 people in black church CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — An intense manhunt was underway Thursday for a young white man who joined a prayer meeting and then opened fire inside a historic black church in downtown Charleston, killing nine people, including the pastor. Authorities called it a hate crime.

Charleston Police identified him as Dylann Roof, 21, of Lexington, South Carolina.

“This is a very dangerous individual,” Police Chief Greg Mullen said. “We want to identify this individual and arrest him before he hurts anyone else.”

The gunman stayed for nearly an hour at the prayer meeting Wednesday night

The Emanuel AME Church’s pastor, state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, was among those killed, State House Minority leader Todd Rutherford told The Associated Press.
