DES MOINES (AP) — A food supplier claims an Iowa egg farm breached a contract after bird flu disrupted the supply of eggs.

Michael Foods Egg Products Co., a subsidiary of St. Louis-based cereal-maker Post Holdings Inc., filed a lawsuit in federal court in Des Moines on Monday alleging Hawkeye Pride Egg Farms in Corwith is in breach of a Jan. 27, 2014, contract.

“Hawkeye’s breach of the contract will cause Michael to suffer substantial harm,” the lawsuit says. “Under the present circumstances, such harm will be irreparable.”

Michael Foods primarily supplies extended shelf-life liquid and precooked egg products and eggs used in

food ingredients.

Court documents say details of the contract are confidential, but that losses exceed $75,000, the threshold a case must meet to be filed in federal court. Michael Foods seeks a court order stopping Hawkeye from breaching the contract, a judgment against the egg supplier and damages “in an amount sufficient enough to compensate Michael for Hawkeye’s breach.”

Hawkeye Pride is a division of Sioux Center-based Center Fresh Group, which owns Iowa egg farms that lost 7 million chickens, including 5.5 million egg-laying hens. A spokeswoman declined to comment Tuesday on the lawsuit, and the company’s attorney, Jan Mohrfeld Kramer, did not respond to a message.

Rev up for Elm’s Club Bike Night slated Friday More than 100 bikes expected this year.

Seventh annual event begins at 5 p.m.

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

As the sun goes down, music will be playing and the people of Creston and surrounding towns can enjoy a cold drink in the heat of June during the seventh-annual Elm’s

Club Bike Night.

Bike Night, a free, family-friendly event scheduled for Friday, will start at 5 p.m., with music playing and food available. Once the sun goes down it’s requested to be a 21-years-old and up event.

“If this rain holds off, I think it’ll be awful good. You got a lot of people talking about it, and you can just walk in, you don’t have to buy a ticket,” said Gus King, co-owner of Creston’s Elm’s Club.

“I think it’s good for the whole downtown. I think that’s why everybody likes it.”

The 100 block of North Elm Street will be blocked off for those wanting to show off their motorcycles.

“We don’t do a contest. We Brammer just encourage everyone to come up and show off their bikes and let everyone see,” said Victoria Brammer, Bike Night volunteer.

Tacos and nachos will be available by El Ranchito of Afton, as

well as other local restaurant food and drinks. Creston band Amish Rake Fight is set to rock at 8 p.m., and Greenfield band Humbled Soul will start jamming afterwards.

A bikini contest will also be held on the stage, with registration at 11 p.m., and the contest at midnight.

The only requirements are contestants must be female and wear a bikini.

“We used to do a wet T-shirt contest, and that was kind of frowned upon, so it got changed to a bikini contest,” Brammer said. “It’s $100 for first prize.”

Bike Night was started seven years ago when Brad Abildtrup came up with the idea.

“There was a kid across the street that had a tattoo shop, Brad Abildtrup. He used to come here and get sandwiches to go,” King said. “He said, ‘the town’s just dead, there’s nothing downtown.

We need to get something going.’”

King then invested in the event after that, and it’s lasted seven years now.

At last year’s event, 150 bikes were shown off by their owners amid sporadic rain showers.

US court upholds tough rules on for-profit college loans

Deaths Doyle Berry Seward, Neb.

Doyle Berry, 57, of Seward, Neb., died June 18, 2015, at his home.

Celebration of life will be 11 a.m. Berry Saturday, June 27, at Orient Methodist Church. The Rev. Cathy Nutting will officiate. Lunch will follow the service. Interment will be at a later date.

Visitation with family present will be 10 to 11 a.m. service time Saturday at the church.

Doyle Lloyd Berry, son of LaRee (Conard) and Donald G. Berry, was born Feb. 15, 1958, in Creston, Iowa. Doyle grew up on a

farm east of Zion.

Doyle graduated from Orient-Macksburg High School in 1977.

On June 25, 1979, Doyle married Tammy Wilson.

They later divorced.

Doyle is survived by his mother LaRee; sons, Ryan (Angelina) Berry of Fort Lupton, Colo., and Kyle (Erica) Berry of Afton; daughter Megan Brown of Afton; grandchildren, MacKenzie and Colston Berry, Ashley and Tristin Brown, Swayze and Kinnick Berry, Matthew Luce and Saige Cornelison; and sisters, Janice (Allan) of Aubrey, Texas, Shirley Smith of Las Vegas, Nev., and Denise (Steve) Klein of Trophy Club, Texas.

Doyle was preceded in death by his father; brother Arnie and brother-in-law Dale.

Creston Area Bloodmobile was held Monday at Trinity Lutheran Church.

One hundred twenty four people attended to donate. Fifteen persons were deferred.

Collection goal was 107 and 106 units were collected.

Eleven people donated double red units.

uate does not exceed 20 percent of his or her discretionary income or 8 percent of total earnings. The administration said about 99 percent of the training programs that will be affected come from the for-profit sector, although affected career training programs can come from certificate programs elsewhere in higher education.

Programs that don’t pass the new “gainful employment” standards risk losing access to federal money.

The Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities, a trade group representing 1,400 for-profit colleges, sued to stop the rules from taking effect on July 1. APSCU argued that the regulations were at odds with existing law, and that the administration had arbitrarily and unfairly devised them as a way to rein in for-profit colleges.

In his opinion, U.S. District Judge John Bates dismissed the industry group’s argument entirely, ruling that each piece of the regulation should remain intact.

“Of course, the association might not agree with the department’s explanations,” he wrote at one point in the 37-page ruling.

“But that alone does not make them irrational, arbitrary, or capricious.”

A program has to show that the estimated annual loan payment of a typical graduate does not exceed 20 percent of his or her discretionary income or 8 percent of total earnings.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal court has ruled in favor of tough new regulations aimed at career training programs, dealing a major blow to the for-profit college industry.

In an opinion released Tuesday, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled the Education Department has the right to demand that schools show their graduates make enough money to repay their student loans.

The Education Department announced its plan last fall as a way of weeding out fraudulent colleges that were targeting low-income students because of their ability to receive federal student loans, grants and military benefits.

Under the new rules, which go into effect July 1, a program has to show that the estimated annual loan payment of a typical grad-

Post said last week that about 25 percent of its yearly egg volume commitments have been affected by the bird flu.

— Arne Duncan

of the regulation will be to deprive hundreds of thousands of students of access to higher education,” Stroup wrote. “That is inconsistent with the congressional plan under the Higher Education Act, unlawful and bad policy.”

Education Secretary Arne Duncan called the ruling a “win” for students

and taxpayers, and urged lawmakers to stop fighting against the regulations.

“Every student who enrolls in college of any kind deserves a fair shot at a degree or credential that equips them for success,” he said in a statement.

“We’ll continue to fight until that’s a reality.”

The for-profit industry has among the highest student loan default rates and lowest graduation rates in higher education, and now the government is looking at footing the bill in what has become a major consumer bailout. Earlier this month, Duncan said the government would make it easier for students who attended the now-defunct Corinthian Colleges to erase their debt.

About $3.6 billion in federal loans has been given to these students since 2010.

That potentially puts the taxpayer on the hook for that amount, although officials say it’s unlikely that every loan will qualify for relief.

The latest rule was the administration’s second attempt at ensuring student loans go to programs that help people find jobs. The first rule was blocked by a judge in 2012 that said the regulations were too arbitrary.

“There still looks to be plenty of industry. The population fit and works perfectly.”

Comes said a couple employees are returning from the previous store and are training at the Winterset location. He estimates the store will employ about 25 parttime and full-time employees, and applications are currently open for management, prep cooks, servers, phone order takers and delivery drivers.

To apply, go online to pizzahut.com/careers. You can also email a resume to myhometownpizzahut@gmail.com or fax it to 515-330-1174.

chicken flocks in Nebraska were affected by the viral illness that has affected 48 million birds, mostly chickens and turkeys, nationwide.

In Iowa, 31.7 million birds have been lost, mostly egg-laying chickens.

“As a result of aggressive cost management,

discontinuation of certain product lines and pricing actions,” Post said it expects to keep the losses to $20 million for 2015.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a report released Monday that Iowa, the nation’s egg leader, saw May egg production fall 28 percent

from a year ago and 21 percent in a month as bird flu swept through flocks.

The state produced 1 billion eggs in May, the lowest monthly number since February 2005.

OPINION Accelerate customer service at the IRS

The IRS stumbled its way through tax season, still struggling to try to restore its reputation after its political targeting scandal gravely undermined confidence in the federal tax-collecting agency’s ability to fairly administer tax laws.

With the 2015 tax-filing season fading in the rearview mirror, now is the time to look to the road ahead and make serious repairs at the beleaguered federal agency.

A look under the IRS’ hood exposes systemic troubles that continue to throttle quality taxpayer services. Even 16 years after Congress passed sweeping taxpayer rights laws, a culture of mismanagement continues to steer the IRS away from sorely needed public redemption. Instead, misguided decisions and more violations of taxpayer privacy clog its core mission to serve the taxpaying public with integrity.

Consider that wait times nearly doubled for calls placed to the tollfree hot lines during the 2015 tax season, according to the IRS’ internal watchdog. And for taxpayers whose calls made the connection, the IRS would answer only “basic” questions. What’s more, the National Taxpayer Advocate also reported in January that the IRS would not answer any tax law questions for the 15 million taxpayers

U.S. Senate Charles Grassley Republican

who file after the April 15 deadline. And yet the IRS prioritized $60 million in bonuses to its employees.

It’s time to flush out a mindset of self-service and retool the agency with quality customer service.

It’s even harder for taxpayers to swallow gross mismanagement that includes hours on the taxpayer dime devoted to union activity, federal employees who remain on paid administrative leave for years without doing their jobs and federal workers whose tax delinquency adds up to $3.5 billion.

These are head scratchers that taxpayers and good-government watchdogs (like us) are itching to see fixed.

No doubt, the IRS has a tall order to fill, processing nearly 150 million tax returns and receiving 100 million phone calls each year.

Tasked with an increasingly complex federal code, the IRS also bears the burden of implementing expansive tax law changes that go above and beyond revenue collection to administering dozens of

complicated new provisions created by Obamacare.

What’s worse, the Government Accountability Office found that the IRS sent out $5.8 billion in fraudulent tax refunds in 2013.

Considering the recent massive data breaches at the IRS and Office of Personnel Management, the federal government is clearly facing a steep curve to thwart cyber crimes that put sensitive personal information at risk of piracy.

Taxpayers sacrifice substantial shares of their hard-earned money to finance public services for the public good. Our system of voluntary compliance depends on the IRS responsibly collecting taxes and administering federal tax laws with integrity and fairness. The last thing the IRS ought to be doing is squandering tax dollars or leaving taxpayers vulnerable to identity theft.

Basic principles of good government should be the rule, not the exception. This includes shielding taxpayer information, treating individual taxpayers with respect and professionalism, and providing first-rate customer service. So when the IRS underperforms when it comes to these fundamental functions of its mission or the taxpaying public perceives unfair bias in its performance, it is clear the

IRS needs a new map to get back on track.

Law-abiding taxpayers play by the rules and expect the same in return. The IRS needs to get serious about mending fences and rebuilding trust with the taxpaying public.

Building from bipartisan reforms enacted in 1988, 1996, and 1998, we just introduced new legislation that would root out misconduct and restore sagging credibility caused by poor customer service and violations of taxpayer rights.

Our Taxpayer Bill of Rights Enhancement Act of 2015 sends a strong signal to those entrusted with administering the nation’s tax laws. The IRS needs to remember that it conducts the people’s business when it enforces and administers the nation’s tax laws. Our bill shows that Congress means business when it comes to tax fairness and taxpayer privacy.

Take a look at a few points of interest on our legislative route to upgrade taxpayer service at the IRS. Our bill would: • Establish a statutory requirement for the IRS commissioner to ensure that IRS employees abide by the “Taxpayer Bill of Rights” adopted last summer by the federal agency; • Update termination requirements for misconduct by an IRS

employee who violates the “10 deadly sins” originally in the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, clarifying that abusing official actions for political purposes qualifies as a job-losing offense; • Increase criminal and civil penalties for the unauthorized disclosure of taxpayer information, forbid use of personal email accounts for official business, and install confidentiality firewalls for government contractors; and • Enhance accountability by requiring timely updates to victims of alleged wrongdoing by IRS employees.

America can’t afford to have taxpayers lose faith in their government’s ability to fairly administer revenue collection. Enforcing meatier taxpayer rights at the IRS will help flesh out better customer service and move toward fixing bone-deep grievances. *Co-authored by U.S. Sen. John Thune Sen. Chuck Grassley, a former chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, championed the 1988, 1996 and 1998 taxpayer rights laws currently on the books.

Sens. Grassley and John Thune currently serve together on the Finance Committee and are joining forces to make the right to quality service a high priority at the IRS.

Support Special Olympics From Randall Romesburg, Special Olympics coach Creston

On Sunday, June 14, 2015, the Creston Elementary/Middle School/High School Special Olympics athletes were honored with an awards banquet held at the congregate meal site. Special guests were Frank and Judy Gale.

The athletes invited school administrators and board members to showcase their accomplishments for the past year. Thank you to the one school board member for responding to the RSVP that she had a previous engagement and could not attend. That was the only re-

sponse received.

Our athletes work hard at being the best they can be. They make the effort to be at practices and be good citizens both at school and in the community. We have had to raise funds to attend bowling competitions, basketball skills competitions and track and field competitions. Even though money is given from the Booster Club for Special Olympics, we have not been allowed to use it. Money given by private donations to the school for Special Olympics is not available.

Costs have gone up this past year for our competitions. We spend over $2,000 for fees, meals and housing. We also buy trophies for

our athletes because they are all winners. The school district does allow us to use school vehicles for transportation to and from competitions. We have a can trailer set up at True Value for donations to help support our needs. We have also received donations from civic groups that we directly deposit into our group account through Special Olympics in Grimes.

Our athletes, their parents, guardians, families thank the community for their support in our accomplishments. Maybe when it is time to re-elect board members, we need to take a look at what is most important to them.

BUSINESS/FARM Cramer of Fareway Stores, Reed of Deere and Company join Iowa Business Council DES MOINES — Reynolds W. Cramer, chief executive officer of Fareway Stores, and Cory J. Reed, Cramer senior vice president of the Intelligent Solutions Group for Deere and Company, have accepted invitations to join the Iowa Business Council (IBC). Council membership consists of the top executives of the state’s largest employers, the three Regent universities, and the Iowa Bankers Association.

“Both Reynolds and Cory exemplify the impressive talent and strength of corporate leadership here in Iowa and the Midwest,” said Mike Wells, president and CEO of Wells Enterprises

and current IBC chairperson. “These two gentlemen are excellent additions to our membership, providing key resources to IBC and the important economic and workforce development policy work underway in Iowa.”

Reynolds Cramer is chief executive officer (CEO) of Fareway Stores, Inc., elected to this role in February 2014.

His 30-year history with the company began in 1985 working in the Boone store.

Progressing up through the store management and corporate office ranks, Cramer’s leadership has been instrumental in the growth of this privately-held economical food store chain to over one hundred locations in Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and Nebraska. Prior to being elected CEO, he was Fareway’s executive vice president in charge of all retail operations – oversight

of which he continues still today. Established in 1938, Fareway is one of Iowa’s largest employers with over 8,000 employees in retail, warehousing, distribution, construction, and its corporate offices in Boone. Learn more about Fareway Stores at http://www.fareway.com.

Cory Reed is senior vice president of the Intelligent Solutions Group at Deere, a position he has held since August 2013. In this role, he is responsible for leading the effort to develop strategies for delivering innovative technology solutions and data that result in agronomic and productivity insights.

Reed joined the company in 1998 and has held a variety of regional and platform-based marketing and sales positions. In 2007, he moved to John Deere International in Schaffhausen,

Switzerland, where he was responsible for sales and marketing in Northern/Central Europe as well as Africa and the Near and Middle East. Later, Reed served as director, global strategic marketing, where he led the team responsible for understanding and prioritizing customer needs on a global basis, while integrating the resulting product and service opportunities into the division’s portfolio processes. He was named vice president, Global Marketing Services for the Agriculture and Turf Division in August 2011 and appointed to his previous position, senior vice president, Global Marketing Services, Agriculture and Turf Division in September 2012.

USDA opens enrollment period for agriculture risk, price loss coverage safety-net programs WASHINGTON — U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack has announced that eligible producers may now formally enroll in the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs for 2014 and 2015. The enrollment period runs June 17 through Sept. 30.

“The extensive outreach campaign conducted by USDA since the 2014 Farm Bill was enacted, along with extending deadlines, is central to achieving an expected high level of participation,” said Vilsack. “We worked with universities to simplify these complex programs by providing online tools so producers could explore how program election options would affect their operation in different market conditions; these tools were presented to almost 3,000 organizations across the country. The Farm Service

Agency also sent more than 5 million educational notices to producers nationwide and participated in over 4,880 educational events with more than 447,000 attendees. I am proud of the many committed USDA employees who worked hard over the last several months to provide producers support to help them make these important decisions.”

The new programs, established by the 2014 Farm Bill, trigger financial protections for agricultural producers when market forces cause substantial drops in crop prices or revenues. More than 1.76 million farmers have elected ARC or PLC. Previously, 1.7 million producers had enrolled to receive direct payments (the program replaced with ARC and PLC by the 2014 Farm Bill). This means more farms have elected ARC or PLC than previously enrolled under previously administered

programs.

Nationwide, 96 percent of soybean farms, 91 percent of corn farms, and 66 percent of wheat farms elected ARC. Ninety-nine percent of long grain rice farms, 99 percent of peanut farms, and 94 percent of medium grain rice farms elected PLC. For data about other crops and stateby-state program election results go to www.fsa.usda.gov/ arc-plc.

Covered commodities under ARC and PLC include barley, canola, large and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain sorghum, lentils, mustard seed, oats, peanuts, dry peas, rapeseed, long grain rice, medium grain rice (which includes short grain and sweet rice), safflower seed, sesame, soybeans, sunflower seed and wheat. Upland cotton is no longer a covered commodity.

The 2014 Farm Bill builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past

six years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for the taxpayer. Since enactment, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

Wash and wash again?

Dear Heloise: I would like to know how safe it is to eat spinach from the bag. We get organic baby spinach that is TRIPLE-WASHED. My daughter says it is already washed, so we do not have to wash it. I disagree. Please clear this up. — Sheela M. in Texas Oh, I don’t want to get between a mother and daughter over spinach! However, most food-safety experts agree that if the bag says “triple washed, ready to eat, and no need for washing,” then you should be safe, all things considered.

Triple “washed” means it also goes through a chlorine-and-water rinse, too.

This rinse kills somewhere between 90-99 percent of bacteria, which probably is a higher kill rate than you would get at home. Don’t most of us just “rinse” under water?

How long? Probably not long enough to really get rid of many germs.

That said, as they say, if you want to “rinse,” then do so if it makes you feel better. — Heloise P.S.: I don’t.

SALT-FREE SEASONING Dear Heloise: I’ve used a salt-free steak seasoning that

Hints from Heloise is no longer available locally.

I can get it from the manufacturer if I buy four bottles at a price higher than the grocery store’s and pay shipping and handling. Do you have a recipe I could make at home? — Pat S., Fort Wayne, Ind. Sure do! HELOISE’S SALT SUBSTITUTE recipe is just what you are looking for. Here it is: 5 teaspoons onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon thyme 1/2 teaspoon white pepper (black, if preferred) 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, then store in an old spice jar, labeled, with all your other spices. For more seasoning recipes (and sauces), order one of my Heloise’s Seasonings, Sauces and Substitutes pamphlets. Go online to www.Heloise.com, or send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope

to: Heloise/Seasonings, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. This original Heloise recipe is one of the most asked for, so please keep a copy of this column. — Heloise REMOVE TOMATO STEM Dear Heloise: I read your column daily in the Orange County (Calif.) Register. I use a strawberry huller to remove the stems from strawberries.

It also removes the stem from tomatoes without having to cut off the end piece. This also removes some of the bitter white part of the tomato. — Mnelson, via email OLIVE SLICER Dear Heloise: Because of the cost of buying sliced olives, I buy whole, pitted olives and BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker slice them myself. What a slow job! Then I had a light bulb go off: Why not try my egg slicer?

Worked like a gem! Perhaps the slices were not as perfect as the canned form, but they were much less expensive! — Jeanine T., Columbus, Neb. Hey, to save money, especially on something that is going down the gullet, is good in my book. — Heloise (c)2015 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Horoscope Thursday, June 25, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Relations with close friends and partners are unpredictable today. A minor blowup could occur. Someone might do something that another least expects.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your job will be interrupted today because of computer crashes, fire drills, power outages, staff shortages or canceled appointments. Allow extra time so that you have wiggle room to cope with this.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids, so be vigilant. This also applies to children you work with. Romance might suffer from sudden, silly arguments.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Something will disrupt your home routine today. You might run out of a breakfast item, or a small appliance might break down. Minor breakages could occur. It could be anything.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a mildly accident-prone day for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do.

Slow down and take it easy. Be mindful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Keep an eye on your money today, because something unpredictable will impact your cash flow. You might find money; you might lose money. Guard your possessions against loss or theft.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, opposing wild, wacky Uranus. This makes you impulsive and inclined to shoot from the hip. Be wise and count to three before you speak.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You feel restless today.

Don’t worry; this is par for the course because the Moon is hidden in your chart and it’s at odds with Uranus. This is like a mosquito buzzing near you.

National Digest

CWS tied OMAHA — Surprise starter Adam Haseley and Josh Sborz combined on the shutout, senior utility man Thomas Woodruff drove in two runs, and Virginia defeated Vanderbilt, 3-0, on Tuesday night to force a winner-takeall game in the College World Series.

For the second straight year, these teams will go the distance in the bestof-three finals. Vanderbilt (51-20) will be playing for a second straight national title Wednesday. Virginia (43-24) will be looking for its first.

Haseley, the Cavaliers’ regular centerfielder, hadn’t pitched since May 23. The freshman gave coach Brian O’Connor all he could have hoped for, working into the sixth inning for his longest outing and turning over a scoreless game to Sborz.

Sborz, who picked up his third career win in the CWS, hasn’t allowed an earned run in 27 consecutive innings.

Virginia broke through against Vandy starter Phil Pfeifer for three unearned runs in the sixth after he had retired the first two batters.

Pavin Smith singled, Kevin Doherty got on board after his grounder up the middle bounced off the bag away from second baseman Tyler Campbell, and Joe McCarthy reached when first baseman Zander Wiel couldn’t handle his hot smash.

Brady hearing NEW YORK (AP) — After a 10-hour hearing, Tom Brady now must wait to find out if his appeal of a four-game suspension carried any weight with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Brady was suspended by the league for his role in the use of deflated footballs in the AFC championship game win over Indianapolis. He arrived at the NFL’s Park Avenue offices Tuesday morning, as did attorney Jeffrey Kessler, who is leading Brady’s defense.

It was growing dark when Goodell left the league headquarters after he heard Brady and representatives from the players’ union during the lengthy meeting. League security said Brady also had left.

No details of the hearing were immediately available.

Flag stance (AP) — Confederate flags are as easy to find at NASCAR races as cutoff jeans, cowboy hats and beer.

They fly over motorhomes. They adorn clothing. They are regular fixtures, just like Ford and Chevrolet, and that is unlikely to change any time soon.

NASCAR probably would like to see them go away.

The sanctioning body for the motorsports series backed South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s call to remove the Confederate flag from the Statehouse grounds in the wake of the Charleston church massacre. NASCAR issued its statement Tuesday, the same day South Carolina lawmakers agreed to discuss removing the flag.

Former Spartan returns to lead golf program A former Spartan and Panther is taking over the Southwestern Community College golf program.

Southwestern officials recently announced Doug North of Creston as the head coach for the men’s and women’s golf teams.

He succeeds Larry Shimono and will begin recruiting for the golf program immediately.

North is an avid golfer who has competed in and coached the sport. He is on the Crestmoor Golf Club board of directors, is a United States Golf Teachers Federation (USGTF)

certified golf instructor, and was a Crestmoor Golf Club junior golf coach from 2005-07.

North, a 2007 Creston High School graduate and member of its golf team, is also a SWCC graduate and golfed for the Spartans during the 2008 season. His younger brother, Carson Whittington, is a former state champion at Creston and golfs for the Kirkwood Community College team.

Beth Kulow, SWCC dean of student services, is excited to add North to the Spartans’ coaching staff.

“Doug was quite a find

North for our athletics department,” Kulow stated. “He is an experienced golf-

er who loves the game, and just happens to be an outstanding individual who knows the area. He will be an amazing coach and mentor for our student-athletes.”

North has a bachelor’s degree in business management from Northwest Missouri State University and an associate’s degree from SWCC. Before taking the new SWCC position, he was a senior account manager for Wellman Dynamics in Creston.

He began his new position as a career and technical education recruiter in

the admissions department for SWCC on Monday.

North said he looks forward to joining the SWCC family.

“My experience in the golf world, as a competitor and licensed instructor, will be assets as I begin recruiting for the program,” North explained. “I look forward to bringing intelligent, talented student-athletes to southwest Iowa and competing on a national level immediately. It will be a pleasure to assist Please see NORTH, page 9A

Panthers explode for Mustangs avenge one-run 13 in third inning loss with 5-4 victory

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

SHENANDOAH — Creston suffered some bad luck early here Tuesday in a Hawkeye 10 Conference road game against Shenandoah.

That luck quickly turned in Creston’s favor, though, as the Class 4A 11th-ranked Panthers scored all 13 runs and collected all 10 hits in the third inning of a 13-1 romp over the Fillies.

Kayla Stogdill led off the bottom of the first inning by getting hit by a Haylee LaMasters pitch, and then scored after a pair of Creston errors.

“We went one, two three in the first two innings,” Creston head coach Mike McCabe said.

“Had about three really hard hit balls right at people. It was like, ‘Oh wow, here we go.’ We had a couple of errors in the first inning and gave them a run.”

Shelby Palser led off the top of the third inning with a single and moved to second base on an error in the outfield.

After a strikeout for the first out of the inning, Creston sent 16 more batters to the plate in the inning.

The Panthers totaled 13 runs on 10 hits in the inning.

Natalie Mostek and Brenna Baker each hit RBI singles the first time through the order in the inning and Alli Thomsen drove in a pair of runs with a single.

Thomsen The second time through the order, Alyssa Higgins brought two more runs home with a single down the left field line. Josie Sickels hit an RBI single to bring in another run.

That eventually led to a LaMasters three-run homer over the left field fence that smashed the windshield of a parked car.

“Took out the windshield of a car parked in deep left field,” McCabe said. “They have an 8 to 10

foot high fence, 190 fence. But it was just a no-doubter. Clunk. Bad spot to park.”

LaMasters finished 2-for-3 at the plate with the home run, a double and three RBI. That brings her season total to nine home runs and 48 RBI through 21 games. The nine LaMasters home runs in a single season is possibly a Creston school record.

“She just hits the ball hard,” McCabe said. “The home run was just a bomb. So we’ll hope she keeps hitting.”

Mostek also finished with two hits and drove in one run. Thomsen and Higgins each finished with two RBI. LaMasters picked up the Mostek win in the circle, giving up just one hit and no earned runs in the three-inning game. She struck out six and walked one with one hit batter.

Creston improved to 17-4 for the season and 10-2 in Hawkeye 10 Conference play with the win.

Shenandoah fell to 15-9 and 5-5.

The Panthers travel to Council Bluffs St. Albert on Thursday for a varsity doubleheader before traveling to Cedar Rapids Saturday to play Dubuque Hempstead and North Cedar at the Cedar Rapids Jefferson Classic.

Junior varsity Creston’s JV team rolled to a 12-0 win over Shenandoah on Tuesday.

The Panthers racked up 16 hits and took advantage of six Shenandoah errors.

Shelby Palser led the game off with a single and a stolen base, scoring on a Chloe Hagle double. Mykenna Hribal and Mattie Wheeler each hit RBI singles in the first inning, as well.

Wheeler added another RBI Please see PANTHERS, page 9A

SHENANDOAH — Shenandoah bolted to a 4-1 lead in the first inning here Tuesday, and this time the Mustangs held on.

On June 8 in Creston, Shenandoah established a 5-1 lead, gave up a run to the Panthers in the sixth and then unraveled in the seventh, as Creston finished a four-run outburst by scoring on an error on a squeeze bunt play for the 6-5 victory.

Creston came back again Tuesday, closing it to 4-4 in the fourth inning, but the Mustangs manufactured a two-out rally for the winning run in the sixth for the 5-4 win.

Brody Frain went the distance on the mound for the Panthers, recovering from Shenandoah’s four-run first to allow only five total hits and only one run over the next Frain five innings.

“Frain did a nice job, really,” coach Steve Birchard said. “He had some trouble with a walk, hit batter and his own error there in the first. But he did a nice job the rest of the way.

We had a 6-43 double play (shortstop to second to first) and Jaden Driskell threw out three guys trying to steal, includ- Driskell ing two in the sixth.”

With two outs and nobody on base in that Mustang sixth, a walk was followed by a wild pitch and the winning RBI single by sophomore Ryan Ruzek.

The larger problem for the Panthers was the first inning, which included a walk, hit by pitch, wild pitch, single, throwing error on an infield dribbler, and a run on a bouncer to first base for the 4-1 lead.

“We know we can’t have those

bad innings,” Birchard said.

“We’ve shown we are capable of beating good people, but we’re also capable of losing on any given night if we don’t play well.”

Cody Crawford had two hits for Creston, now 6-5 in Hawkeye 10 play and 7-7 overall.

Frain had two RBI. Dustin Merritt and Conner Pals each had a single Crawford and RBI. Kyle Owens had two hits for the Mustangs, who snared their first conference victory in 12 games. Jake Johnson picked up the pitching win as Shenandoah improved to 4-11 overall.

Driskell and Chase Shiltz will be on the mound for Creston in a league varsity doubleheader Thursday at Council Bluffs St. Albert, which lost to Denison-Schleswig Tuesday, 7-6, to fall to 7-5 in the conference and 10-9 overall.

Junior varsity Coach Ben Landers said the Panther JV played its best game of the season in a 3-3 tie that ended on the predetermined time limit after five innings. (The varsity game was played first because of weather concerns.)

Joe Eblen scored for the Panthers on an error in the first inning after hitting a single. Tucker Flynn led off Creston’s fourth inning with a double, Bryce Fitzgerald singled and an error allowed the run. Deavan Reese reached base on a fielder’s choice in the fifth and advanced home on three passed balls.

Nathan Pudenz also had a hit for Creston. Dalton O’Riley was the starting pitcher and walked none with three strikeouts and three hits allowed over three innings. Brenden McDowell relieved for two innings with three walks, three strikeouts and two earned runs allowed.

“I told the guys that was probably our best overall game all year, Please see MUSTANGS, page 9A
