elm’s club bike night

Supreme Court: Police may not search phones without warrant

Show & Tell Doug Chumbley of Creston executes a burnout in July 2011 on his Harley Davidson super glide during the 3rd annual Bike Night at the Elm’s Club.

The sixth annual Elm’s Club Bike Night in Creston is Friday.

It begins at 5 p.m. and features custom motorcycles, barbecue and live music.

WASHINGTON (MCT) — Police may not search the smartphones of people who are put under arrest unless they have a warrant, the Supreme Court has ruled, a unanimous and surprising victory for privacy advocates.

The justices, ruling in cases from California and Massachusetts, said the 4th Amendment’s ban on “unreasonable searches and seizures” prevents a police officer from examining a cellphone found on or near a person who is arrested.

Cellphones differ from other objects a person might carry, such as wallets, purses and notepads. Police have been allowed to search those during an arrest.

Because technologically sophisticated phones may hold huge amounts of personal data, they may not be searched without a warrant from a magistrate, the justices said.

Police then put Riley under arrest and examined his Samsung smartphone. It contained photos revealing his gang affiliation and one of an Oldsmobile that had been used in a drive-by shooting.

Riley was charged with attempted murder in the drive-by gang shooting.

He was convicted and sentenced to 15 years to life. The California Supreme Court rejected his claim of a privacy violation, ruling that police may search a smartphone after making an arrest.

Dozens of motorcyclists and revelers will flood Elm Street this Friday for the sixth annual Elm’s Club Bike Night.

The event was started by Elm’s Club owners Gus, Mike and Donna King of Creston. Donna describes Bike Night as one big party.

“It’s an event that we created so we can do an outdoor party and involve the whole community,” Donna said. “Some people come up just to look at bikes, some come for the meal, some come for a drink and some come because they think King they are going to miss something.”

Each year since its inception, Elm’s Club Bike Night, which is held the Friday before Fourth of July, has grown — attracting motorcyclists and enthusiasts from Winterset, Des Moines, Omaha and beyond.

“Obviously, it’s a show and tell for the bikers because everybody is so proud of their motorcycles, as they

Local benefit Some people may have reservations about attending Bike Night, but Donna said it’s a fun, familyfriendly event.

Starting at 5 p.m., a disc jockey plays for a a crowd of people who are eating supper, which includes potato salad, baked beans and barbecued pork grilled by members of the McKinley Park Restoration committee.

Donna said 100 percent of the pro-

“That (cause) was just the one nearest and dearest to our hearts,” Donna said. “Because, that’s where we all hung out as kids.”

“We have had no problems with kids or young people there until about 8 p.m.,” Donna said. “But, then you can see the crowd kind of change. Not that we tell people they have to get their kid out of there, but people just know it’s time to make the shift.”

By the time the band is ready to start playing at 9 p.m., a line has formed at the outdoor bar and party attendees flood the street to mingle, dance, drink and people watch.

An added benefit for attendees are the free giveaways from Harley Davidson, Budweiser merchandise and other goods from liqour vendors.

Donna said “it was like Christmas” opening the boxes of items donated by the vendors.

OPINION Don’t muzzle freedom of speech

There are few things more sacred to the individual rights of citizens of the United States than the Bill of Rights. The Founders embraced the natural rights of individuals and secured for posterity these timeless principles to thwart infringement of individual liberties by government overreach.

The Senate Judiciary Committee recently held a hearing to examine a proposed amendment to the Constitution that would change the sacred protection of the First Amendment. Introduced last summer, the proposed amendment is being championed by the U.S. Senate Majority Leader. Those of us who oppose the amendment see it as an effort to silence the dissent of those who don’t agree with certain political views.

Specifically, Senate Joint Resolution 19 would limit a fundamental tenet of self-government, the unfiltered ability of the electorate to advocate, influence, persuade, denounce, criticize and challenge those running for public office. The proposed constitutional amendment would abridge the fundamental right of free speech by enabling the government to

U.S. Senate Charles Grassley Republican

limit funds contributed to candidates and restrict spending by individuals or groups to express political views to the public during an election.

The proposed amendment would water down the First Amendment and suppress the democratic process by deterring political free speech and shielding American voters from hearing different points of view.

Electoral politics is a necessary function of representative government. Whether seeking re-election or running for public office for the first time, candidates reach out to grassroots supporters, go door-todoor, secure endorsements and ask for donations to help finance their campaigns.

I support prompt, complete, full disclosure of campaign contributions to help keep the electoral process transparent and accountable to the voting public, but curb-

ing political speech doesn’t square with our constitutional principles.

Allowing the government to dictate limits on how much money citizens choose to spend on issues they feel very strongly about, from political ads to voter guides, puts government authority above the rights of the governed.

The U.S. Constitution has been amended only 27 times in the last 227 years. The Founders wisely made the amendment process a deliberative one, requiring a resounding consensus of three-quarters of the states (38 of 50) and two-thirds approval of both houses of Congress. Changing the charter of liberty governing the nation deserves such a thorough consent of the governed.

This proposal would upset the brilliant dynamic of our system of representative government, one that is exceptional to human history. Ours is the first constitution based on the principle that “we the people” are sovereign with unalienable rights, delegating to government only such power as necessary to secure these rights.

So, instead of the people reining in government authority, broad

new government authority would rein in the people’s freedom of political speech. The tail would wag the dog. And by that measure, the bite, S.J. Res. 19, is far more worrisome than the 24/7 bark of free speech during a political campaign.

Our institutions of government are stronger when more citizens participate in the electoral process. That includes exercising the right of political free speech and exercising the right to vote. Free speech creates a marketplace of ideas and fosters participatory democracy, allowing an educated citizenry to cast votes to elect its leaders.

At first glance, public cynicism about campaign spending may cause some to consider it might be a good thing to restrict campaign contributions and limit political spending. However, if you have strong views anywhere along the ideological and political spectrum on issues such as pro-life or prochoice, gun rights or gun control, climate change, zoning laws, debt, entitlement or tax reform, Americans have constitutional rights to speak up and contribute time and money to the candidates who sup-

port causes they support.

The proposed amendment would jeopardize the ability of citizens to criticize politicians, challenge government policy and influence their neighbor’s views on politics and policy upon penalty of imprisonment.

In the end, 535 members of Congress could decide what citizens may or may not say leading up to an election. Restricting or criminalizing free speech has no place among a free people in a free society.

Supporters of this amendment are barking up America’s liberty tree, ignoring the deeply rooted values enshrined in our nation’s historic charters of individual sovereignty. If approved, it would allow the heavy hand of government to roll back prized freedoms for which generations of Americans have fought and died to protect.

Watchdogs for good government can see this amendment is doggone bad policy chasing after self-serving politics at the expense of freedom. That’s a perverse price to pay in the land of the free and home of the brave.

The U.S. soccer team must play Germany in the World Cup in Brazil to advance to the next round. They have a rich tradition of World Cup victories. If history is any guide. the only way to defeat Germany’s soccer team is to retreat to your own goal and wait for winter to set in.

The World Cup called for public etiquette in international cities filled with soccer fans of all nations. For instance, London police ordered English fans not to wear England jerseys in pubs to avoid offending Muslims. It only begged

Nine hundred six thousand for a bus barn that only had a few sheets of tin blown off and maybe a post broken by the tornado, seems a bit steep for it could have cost if the previous administration had been in a “repair if possible” mode instead of a “replace to new” mode.

Taking a step backwards, the AEA’s offer to trade their flattened space for space at the old middle school was a smart move on their part. Of course, we took the trade and now the AEA has invested quite a bit at their new location and given a longer lasting

future for the old middle school.

Meanwhile, Creston’s plan folded when the city stepped in to impose extra steps that had to be taken to facilitate an already cramped lot into a bus barn.

That brings us up to today. The present administration, after all the extra steps were added, special concrete, in-ground heating, and I can’t remember all the little extras, really has no latitude to make changes, especially less expensive changes. Rules and regulations always cripple us but in the end, it will all work out.

From the tragedy the tornado brought, thankfully there was no loss of life. The AEA has a practically new building, two new

tornado rooms that will likely become another gymnasium and extra classrooms funded through state and federal sources, plus a brand new track that the tornado swooped down to destroy.

And now finally, we will have a new state-of-the-art bus barn for our drivers, after suffering through the last two years in the cold, trying to get the buses started and warmed up for the kids.

They deserve it! It will be paid for by insurance and the districts physical plant and equipment levy fund, which is another kind of tax.

There is but one item left. Does anyone have a use for an empty slab of concrete with ample parking around it?

BUSINESS/FARM

USDA announces new support for beginning farmers, ranchers DAVIS, Calif. — U.S. Agriculture Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden has announced the implementation of new Farm Bill measures and other policy changes to improve the financial security of new and beginning farmers and ranchers. Harden also unveiled www.USDA.gov/ newfarmers, a new website that will provide a centralized, one-stop resource where beginning farmers and ranchers can explore the variety of USDA initiatives designed to help them succeed.

“New and beginning farmers are the future of American agriculture,” Harden said. “The average age of an American farmer is 58 and rising, so we must help new farmers get started if America is going to continue feeding the world and maintain a strong agricul-

ture economy. The new policies announced today will help give beginning farmers the financial security they need to succeed. Our new online tool will provide onestop shopping for beginning farmers to learn more about accessing USDA services that can help their operations thrive.”

USDA’s www.usda.gov/ newfarmers has in-depth information for new farmers and ranchers, including: how to increase access to land and capital; build new market opportunities; participate in conservation opportunities; select and use the right risk management tools; and access USDA education, and technical support programs. These issues have been identified as top priorities by new farmers.

The website will also feature instructive case studies about beginning farm-

ers who have successfully utilized USDA resources to start or expand their business operations.

Policy announcements in support of beginning farmers and ranchers include: • Waiving service fees for new and beginning farmers or ranchers to enroll in the Non-insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) for the 2014 crop year. NAP provides risk management tools to farmers who grow crops for which there is no crop insurance product. Under this waiver, announced via an official notice to Farm Service Agency offices, farmers and ranchers whom already enrolled in NAP for the 2014 crop year are eligible for a service fee refund.

• Eliminating payment reductions under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) for new and beginning farmers which will al-

low routine, prescribed and emergency grazing outside the primary nesting season on enrolled land consistent with approved conservation plans. Previously, farmers and ranchers grazing on CRP land were subject to a reduction in CRP payments of up to 25 percent.

Waiving these reductions for new and beginning farmers will provide extra financial support during times of emergency like drought and other natural disasters.

• Increasing payment rates to beginning farmers and ranchers under Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP). Under this provision, beginning and farmers can claim up 90 percent of losses for lost livestock, such as bees, under ELAP. This is a 50 percent increase over previously available

Adair County Fair 4-H, FFA entries due July 1 GREENFIELD — The Adair County Fair is set for July 16-20. A full lineup of 4-H and FFA activities are planned for the fair including animal shows, Pride of Iowa Contest, communication events including Share the Fun, and a fashion show.

Entries for each of these divisions are due to Adair County Extension by July 1. The Extension office in Greenfield will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. to accept entries.

In addition to the 4-H and FFA entries, Adair County Fair Queen applications are due by July 1 to the Extension office. Contestants must

be at least 16 years old and not more than 21 years old and live in Adair County or an adjoining county, as long as the majority of their activities are in Adair County.

Queen applicants will be presented to the public July 10 during the farmers’ market event sponsored by Adair County Extension and 4-H. Entries for static exhibits for the 4-H and FFA Center do not need to be pre-entered. 4-H community club members, Clover Kids, FFA members and youths that have participated in any type of Extension programming, including camps and adventure trips, are eligible to en-

ter static exhibits at the fair.

They should obtain an entry card and have it completed when they come for judging July 16. A judging schedule is printed in the fair book.

The Future 4-H’ers Livestock/Pet Show will be a returning attraction to the 2014 county fair activities. The show scheduled for noon July 20, registration at 11:30 a.m., in the outdoor show arena is open to Adair and surrounding county residents ages 3 through completion of third grade. Youths do not need to be members of 4-H to participate. The purpose of this event is to offer a fun show for children. Complete

Iowa’s crop damage minimal from storms, ISU agronomist says (MCT) — Agriculturerelated storm damage was minimal last week, according to Brian Lang, the Iowa State University Extension agronomist for northeast Iowa.

The first 3 inches of rain, which fell June 16, was mostly absorbed by thirsty soil, causing little crop damage or erosion, Lang said.

“It was not something that will affect prices on the Chicago Board of Trade,” Lang said.

So far this month, the statewide average rainfall has been 7.36 inches, nearly twice the 3.86 average for the entire month of June, according to State Climatologist Harry Hillaker.

Many parts of northeast Iowa had considerably more than the average.

Bob Hemesath, who farms between Calmar and Ossian, where about 10 inches of rain fell last week, reported some corn under water and some “green snap” of cornstalks caused by strong winds.

Runoff from 6.5 inches of rain last week caused soil erosion that will need to be repaired this fall, said Mark Recker, who farms between Oelwein and Arlington.

“We had some erosion, but to be honest with you the ground took it pretty well,” Hemesath said.

Hemesath and Recker said they had some crops under water last week.

“When the ground is saturated for extended periods, you lose some of the nitrates applied to fertilize the corn, and it shortens the effective

life span of your herbicide,” Recker said.

Hail and strong winds, the chief crop threats during summer storms, were quite isolated, according to Lang.

Lang said the extent of flood damage on plants is related to the temperature and movement of the water and the depth and duration of the coverage.

Young corn can survive four days’ flooding under cooler conditions but only half as long under warmer conditions, he said.

The Deputy Secretary made these announcements at the inaugural meeting of the reconvened Beginning Farmer and Rancher Advisory Committee held at the University of California Davis, California. This Advisory Committee, composed of 20 members, including Extension agents, lenders, farmers, ranchers and academics will meet through 2015 to learn, discuss and formulate recommendations to USDA on how to support new and beginning farmers.

payment amounts to new and beginning farmers.

In the near future, USDA will also announce additional crop insurance program changes for beginning farmers and ranchers – including discounted premiums, waiver of administrative fees and other benefits.

These policy announcements are made possible through the 2014 Farm Bill, which builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past five years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for the taxpayer. Since enactment, USDA 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;

Freeze that fat!

Dear Heloise: I always pour EXCESS COOKING FAT into a glass jar rather than putting it down the sink, so it won’t clog drains. What I haven’t been able to figure out is how to dispose of the jar once it’s full. Do you have any hints? — Barbara V. in Virginia I do! Keep the jar in the freezer so the grease hardens, then simply place it in the trash on garbage day.

When you collect the fat and grease from cooking certain foods and place it into a glass jar with a lid, first make sure the grease is completely cooled before putting it into the jar and then into the freezer. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com NO MESS Dear Heloise: I like cupcakes and muffins, but I hate the mess to clean up afterward. One evening, I was getting ready to mix up a package of muffin mix when I had to move a quart-size, plastic,

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

Hints from Heloise zipper-top bag. A light bulb went off!

I put the mix into the bag, added the wet ingredients, slid it shut and mixed by squeezing and pressing the bag together.

I then cut the corner off the bag and squeezed the mix into the muffin cups. I pitched the bag into the garbage and put the muffins into the oven.

No mess, no cleanup and no dishes to do. — Joanne F., via email SWEET RECYCLING Dear Heloise: This is my favorite hint for tasty, always-available desserts, and it involves recycling. Use a cleaned-out yogurt cup, put several scoops of ice cream or sherbet into it, add some crushed nuts and drizzle chocolate syrup over it. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap, and then a final cover of aluminum foil, and place in the freezer.

I usually make four or so at a time. Kids and husbands love them, and they are always ready! — Barbara in Florida

This is such a great hint!

If anyone in your family has dietary restrictions, you can personalize the treats! Frozen fruit, graham-cracker crumbs and a little drizzle of honey can make for a healthier dessert, or even using frozen yogurt in place of ice cream. Be creative! — Heloise CHIP BAG Dear Heloise: When eating out, I occasionally like to get a small bag of chips with my lunch. I open the bag at the top and then pull the bag apart down the back seam. This gives the chips a larger surface to lie on without having to dump them out, and I can pick up a chip without shoving my hand in the bag. — P.W., via email BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker CRISPY CRUST Dear Heloise: I got tired of frozen pizzas with white, limpbottom crusts.

Panthers close out Shenandoah for 3-2 win

National Digest

Opting out MIAMI — LeBron James’ agent Rich Paul has informed the Miami Heat that the four-time NBA MVP will exercise his early termination option and become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

Opting out does not mean that James has decided to leave the Heat, sources said.

James had until June 30 to decide whether to opt out of the final two years of his contract with Miami. He was scheduled to make $20 million next season and had two years and about $42.7 million remaining on his deal.

After Miami’s seasonending loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, James told reporters he would take a vacation with his family before considering his contract options.

James indicated that he welcomed the opportunity to become a free agent and have the same level of flexibility he was afforded in 2010, when he signed with Miami after spending his first seven years in Cleveland.

In his four seasons in Miami, the Heat have gone to the NBA Finals four times, winning two championships.

UVA evens series OMAHA, Neb. — A night after one of Virginia’s worst pitching starts of the season, the Cavaliers got one of their best to force a winner-takeall game for the national championship.

Brandon Waddell limited Vanderbilt to five hits in his first nine-inning complete game, Virginia knocked out first-round draft pick Tyler Beede in the seventh and the Cavaliers evened the College World Series finals with a 7-2 victory Tuesday night.

Each team will be playing for its first national title in baseball Wednesday night.

Virginia (53-15) forced the third game after Vanderbilt (50-21) rode a nine-run third inning against Nathan Kirby to a 9-8 victory Monday.

Projected starting pitchers are Josh Sborz (6-4) for Virginia against Carson Fulmer (7-1).

Waddell (10-3), who pitched a solid seven innings with no decision against TCU a week ago, was even better against the Commodores.

Suarez bite FIFA has announced it will investigate the Luis Suarez alleged biting incident with Liverpool’s Uruguayan striker likely to face a lengthy ban if found guilty.

Suarez appeared to bite Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini toward the end of Uruguay’s 1-0 win, leaving teeth-marks on his shoulder.

A FIFA spokesperson told Press Association Sport: “We are awaiting the official match reports and will gather all the necessary elements in order to evaluate the matter.”

FIFA asked the team to present evidence, which can include video recordings, by 5 p.m. local time Wednesday. A decision must be published before Saturday, when Uruguay plays Colombia.

Brandon Phipps found himself in a pitcher’s duel with Shenandoah’s Jackson Baker here Tuesday night, and Phipps came out on top thanks to a pair of Panther runs in the fifth inning of a 3-2 win.

The two teams were knotted at 1-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning when Conner Pals was hit with a pitch to put a runner on with one out. Cole Crawford followed with a single off first base.

Trevor Luther walked to load the bases and then Nate Haley hit a fly ball to center field for an out.

Pals raced home on the play, getting there at the same time as the throw from center. He was initially ruled out, but the umpire had not seen the ball slip out of the catcher’s glove and roll behind home plate.

After pleading his case, the call was overturned and Pals was called safe.

On the very next pitch, freshman catcher Chase Shiltz beat out an infield grounder to second base for a base hit, allowing Crawford Shiltz to score.

Luther also came around on the play, but was thrown out at the plate on a close play.

“Big for him (Shiltz) to have the speed that he can do that,” Creston head

coach Steve Birchard said.

“Too bad we just didn’t get that other one in there to make us a little more comfortable. And that was a good play. We’re doing some more plays like that, where if they don’t make the play at first, then Trevor is going to walk in there.”

Shenandoah got one of those runs back in the top of the sixth inning. After two outs, the Mustangs got a walk and a single, and then a single and outfield error allowed a run to score, cutting the lead to 3-2.

The Mustangs also scored on a two-out rally in the first inning, starting things off with a two-out single followed by a double. An infield error allowed the lead

runner to score.

Shenandoah put together one last threat in the top of the seventh inning, but unlike Monday night, the Panthers ended the threat and the game.

Jake Johnson led off with a single, but was thrown out on a fielder’s choice for the first out. After an infield error, the Mustangs had runners at first and second with one out.

But Phipps got a strikeout and induced a fly ball to left fielder Garret Taylor to end the game.

“You try to not get in the mode of ‘oh gosh, here we go again,’” Birchard said.

“I was proud of the guys. I don’t think we got that way.

I thought our mentality was

we got the lead, Brandon’s throwing strikes and we’re going to get the job done defensively. And we did.

“Brandon was going to go out there and he was going to give it his best, as everybody always is. We felt confident we were going to get it done.”

Phipps scattered eight hits for the game, walking two and striking out three.

Both of Shenand o a h ’ s Phipps runs were unearned.

Baker gave up three runs on six hits with three walks and

seven strikeouts.

After falling behind 1-0 in the top of the first, the Panthers immediately answered in the bottom half of the inning.

After one out, Crawford drew a walk and Luther singled up the middle for the first of his two hits.

With two outs, Shiltz delivered a run-scoring single up the middle to tie the score at 1-1.

“He had a couple of big hits,” Birchard said.

“We’re really working in BP on getting quality swings every time you’re at the bat. He looked better.”

Panthers solve Fillie pitcher in 7-0 shutout

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Maintaining just a 3-0 lead, the Creston softball team finally solved Shenandoah pitcher Devon Wood in a four-run sixth inning in posting a 7-0 home victory Tuesday night.

Brenna Baker, getting her first varsity start of the season in her recovery from knee surgery during the w i n t e r , Baker said the Panthers adjusted to Wood’s offerings as the game went along.

Baker was 2-of-3 with a double and two RBI as the designated player, while Alyssa Higgins played right field without batting.

“My first at-bat she threw me an inside pitch and it had a lot of motion on it,” Baker said, “so it didn’t look like an inside pitch until right before. Once we figured that out, we were OK.” “She didn’t throw the last time we played,” coach Mike McCabe said, citing his team’s 10-0 win June 9 at Shenandoah. “She’s tough.

She threw a little bit of a screwball that was in on our hands. We got jammed and hit it off the handle a lot.

Once we started laying off it, we started to hit the ball hard.”

Meanwhile, Haylee LaMasters tossed a four-hit shutout with five strikeouts and no walks as the Panthers stayed in a first-place tie in the Hawkeye 10 at 113, and 15-7 overall.

She was given a 1-0 lead in the second as Natalie Mostek reached on one of six Shenandoah errors, and

scored on a ball hit to left by Jami Sickels, also misplayed by the Fillies.

LaMasters helped her cause with an RBI double to left-center driving in Taylor Briley in the third for a 2-0 LaMasters lead.

Lexie Little, speedy freshman who has been spelling Baker at third base all season, reached on an error and stole second in the Panther fourth. She scored as Baker lined a single to left.

It stayed 3-0 until the bottom of the sixth inning. The Panthers batted around, gaining four runs on six hits after showing only four hits for the night going into the inning.

Umpire Jerry Shields watches intently as Creston’s Alyssa Higgins slides safely into home ahead of the throw to Shenandoah catcher Ariel Grebert on a hit by Josie Shields in the sixth inning Tuesday. Higgins, Panther right fielder, was running at second for designated player Brenna Baker, who doubled during the four-run rally.

call against Sickels for the second out, LaMasters, Mostek and Shelby Palser followed with successive hits to make it 7-0. Mostek’s blast was a one-hop double to the right field fence.

So how did it feel for Baker, a two-year starter, to finally get in the varsity lineup during her junior campaign?

“Pretty darn good,” she said. “I feel really good.

They think I’m still a little stiff on the bases, but I don’t feel it that much. It just takes time.”

McCabe said it’s a pleasant problem to have, with too many experienced varsity players for the nine available spots.

“Brenna hit the ball hard last night in the JV game and had a two-run base hit in the varsity game for us,” McCabe said. “She started for two years, you know.

She’s not chopped liver. But it’s kind of a case of, I don’t know who I’d take out of the lineup. Lexie is playing

well. That speed kills. She can score on stuff that a lot of us can’t. And Higgins has been hitting well too, to be honest. We thought we’d DP Brenna tonight. That’s just the way it is. There’s nine spots.”

The twin outfield duo of Jami Sickels and Josie Sickels celebrated their 17th birthday Tuesday. Jami showed her arm in left field in the final inning. She misplayed a drive hit by Jordan Major to lead off the seventh, but picked it up and fired a strike to Palser covering second to tag her out trying to take the extra base.

LaMasters finished off the shutout with a groundball to first and a strikeout.

Shenandoah fell to 12-11 overall and 4-10 in the conference.

The win improves Creston to 8-8 overall and 7-6 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference. The Panthers had been involved in six previous onerun games with a record of 0-6 in those contests.

“We haven’t won a one-run game in a while,” Birchard said. “It was good to get one of those tonight, especially within the conference.”

Creston returns to action 5:30 p.m. Thursday, hosting a varsity doubleheader with Class 2A sixth-ranked Council Bluffs St. Albert,

SOFTBALL: which is just half a game behind Harlan for the Hawkeye 10 Conference lead. It will also be Little League Night at the ballpark.

“St. Albert is near the top,” Birchard said. They swept Atlantic yesterday.

They’ll be one of the tough teams to deal with. We’ll have Shiltz and Crawford again, so we feel good about that. We just hope our bats will be up to snuff and that we can play some good defense.”

Junior varsity Creston’s junior varsity team improved to 7-4 for the season with a 9-1 win over

Shenandoah on Tuesday.

Brody Frain pitched a complete game, giving up just three hits over six innings with six strikeouts and three walks.

Jaden Driskell had two hits and Cody Crawford knocked a double. Brenden McDowell drove in two runs for the Panthers.

Taylor Briley pitched a two-hitter with four strikeouts and one walk. At the plate, she was 3-of-4 with a triple and two RBI. Chloe Hagle was 3-4 with two RBI. Cammy Rutherford drove in two runs on two hits. Morgan Shawler knocked in a run with a double and Jami Sickels had a pair of hits.

“Taylor pitched a nice game and we were able to hit the ball well and put some runs up,” coach Teri Keeler said. “They scored their two runs in the first inning off a walk and an error and we did a nice job of coming back in the bottom and answering, and then holding them the rest of the game.”

Escobar steps in, steps up for Twins

By LA VELLE E. NEAL III Star Tribune

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Eduardo Escobar has played five different positions this season for the Twins.

This is what a utility player does, but Escobar has hit while playing all of them.

And slowly but surely, instead of being praised for being a good bench player, he’s carving out an everyday role with the Twins, who need his bat in the lineup.

Escobar entered Tuesday batting .297 with two homers and 16 RBI and tied for the team lead with 22 doubles. He’s generously listed at 5-10, but he has some pop in his bat and will not get cheated on a swing.

The more he has played, the more the Twins have found out he can hit.

“I think being able to play every day has helped me get in the groove and get my

swing together,” Escobar said.

Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said earlier in the season that Escobar hits some of the longest home runs during Twins batting practice.

“It’s funny,” Gardenhire said. “We’ve always said you never know with guys.

You get labeled pretty quick in a career as a utility guy.

And you never know until it arises when you start playing them every day how they are going to do it.”

On Tuesday, Escobar started at third base as Trevor Plouffe recovers from a rib cage injury. He’s played second base, shortstop, left field and, for the first time this season, center field. Escobar misplayed a ball in left field that played a part in a May 7 loss at Cleveland, but stood at his stall after the game and answered questions. It ended up being one of the few poor plays he’s

SAO PAULO — When the World Cup pairings were announced in December, the date U.S. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann circled most prominently on his calendar was June 26, the group-play final against Germany.

That’s the country Klinsmann, the player, led to a World Cup title in 1990 and the one Klinsmann, the coach, led to a third-place finish in the 2006 World Cup. So playing against his homeland in his first World Cup as the American coach was something he both feared and embraced.

Now that the game is at hand, though, Klinsmann says he’s feeling another emotion: joy.

“This is going to be so much fun,” he said Tuesday.

“I’m so excited.”

Adding to that excitement is the fact the game Thursday afternoon in the port city of Recife will determine whether the U.S. advances to the second round.

The Americans had al-

most punched their ticket to the knockout stage before Portugal stole two points from them with a last-second goal Sunday, turning what looked to be a U.S. win into a draw. As a result, the U.S. needs either a win or a draw Thursday to be certain of advancing. The U.S. could also move on with a loss but under that complicated scenario, it would need a favorable result in the other group-play finale between Ghana and Portugal.

Despite the high stakes — or perhaps because of them — Klinsmann said Thursday’s grudge match with Germany is shaping up as one of the highlights of an already accomplished career.

“It’s very special, it’s something that doesn’t happen every year and probably not anymore in (my) lifetime, so you try to enjoy this moment,” he said. “It’s going to be emotional, there’s no doubt about it. But I also will enjoy it.”

Klinsmann didn’t leave Germany under the best of circumstances. Although he

was celebrated for guiding an overachieving national team to the semifinals of the 2006 World Cup, he declined to stay on as coach after the tournament, turning the team over to his handpicked assistant, Joachim Loew.

Klinsmann’s next coaching job was with Bayern Munich, but in 2009, with his team three points off the lead in Germany’s top-tier Bundesliga with five games to play, he was abruptly fired.

That’s something he’s still uncomfortable talking about, although in 2011 he began to move on by taking over the U.S. national team. Now that job has given Klinsmann a chance to fire back because with a win Thursday the U.S. would win the group, leaving Germany, if it advances, with a far more difficult route through the knockout rounds.

“The expectations in Germany are very simple; Please see KLINSMANN, page 11A

they’ve always got to win it. Otherwise they are disappointed,” Klinsmann said. “That’s just how it is.

Third place or second place doesn’t mean much to the fans and the people there.

And they live with that; they get along with that, so they can embrace those expectations within the inner circle as well.”

Klinsmann isn’t the only one for whom the matchup with Germany offers a chance at redemption. Midfielder Jermaine Jones, 32, one of five German citizens on the U.S. roster, played 12 games for a succession of German national teams.

But after he was cut from the German squad ahead of the 2008 European Championships, Jones, the son of an American serviceman, switched allegiances. And to cement that move, he recently had the American flag tattooed on his left leg.

“Of course, Germany is a special game,” Jones said before the U.S. team’s Tuesday afternoon flight to Recife. “I grew up in Germany.

My mom is German. But (now) I try to win and try to bring America to the next round.

“It’s not the point to beat a friend. It’s the point to come to the next round. This is the important stuff. We want to show the people that we can beat them.”

If the familiarity between the U.S. and German teams has bred a degree of contempt, though, it has also bred a great deal of comfort for the U.S. side. Many of the coaches and players Klinsmann worked with are still with the German team.

There are four players on the U.S. roster who play in the Bundesliga, and Jones spent 15 years in the German club system.

“It definitely helps that a lot of our players know the players from the German team,” Klinsmann said.

“They’ll be more familiar with them. ... Hopefully, it’s an advantage.”

him, and he’s done a fantastic job,” Gardenhire said. “Swinging the bat and catching the ball.”

Escobar came over with lefthander Pedro Hernandez from the White Sox in exchange for Francisco Liriano on July 28, 2012, and had the reputation of being a fine defensive player but raw at the plate. Until recently, it looked like a move of little benefit for the Twins. Liriano didn’t pitch well for the White Sox but signed with Pittsburgh and went 16-8 with a 3.02 ERA last season. Meanwhile, Escobar batted .227 in 14 games in 2012 and .236 in 66 games last season. Hernandez was sent packing after going 3-3 with a 6.83 ERA in 14 games last season.

But Liriano started this season 1-6 and currently is on the disabled list because of a strained oblique muscle. Suddenly, it looks as if the Twins have real asset in the Venezuelan-born Escobar.

Escobar is best suited to play shortstop but, when everyone is healthy, he likely will share the position with Danny Santana,

who is a better athlete with a powerful arm and has leadoff hitter written all over him.

But Gardenhire can move Santana to center field sometimes and plug in Escobar at other positions to keep his bat in the lineup.

At worst, Escobar has become a super utility player, someone Gardenhire doesn’t want to leave on the bench.

“I just come to the ballpark ready to play,” Escobar said. “If I see my name in the lineup, I’m going to give it 110 percent. I’ll be ready to give it 110 percent when they do need me.”

He was needed Tuesday as the Twins kicked off a three-game series in Anaheim, batting eighth, playing third base and looking for another pitch to drive.

“He swings,” Gardenhire said. “He’s not afraid to swing it and let it fly. And he’s got that great attitude.

He’s been a joy to watch.”

Dare the Dark Rising Cedar River brings ‘some Hike planned risk,’ but not much, officials say MOUNT AYR — Join Ringgold County Conservation Board for a Dare the Dark Hike 10:30 p.m. July 19 at Poe Hollow Park, east of Mount Ayr on State Highway 2.

Registration for the hike will be at Hawkins Hideaway Shelter (enclosed shelter) and a guide will lead participants to the beginning of the trail.

Individuals/froups of no more than four will leave every 10 minutes from the shelterhouse and travel from the Poe Hollow west trail to the Ringgold Trailway and come back on the east trail into Poe Hollow, around the pond trail and meet back at the shelterhouse.

Individuals who complete the Dare the Dark challenge will be entered into a drawing for Florida Georgia Line tickets at the Iowa State Fair (Sponsored by Jamie’s Coffee Mill).

No running, flashlights or cell phone lights are permitted. Participants will receive glow sticks for the hike. Entry fees for this event are adults $10 and students $5. All proceeds of this event go toward funding the Ringgold County Nature Center.

To register for a time slot at this event, contact Ringgold County Conservation Board at 641-464-2787. Same day registrations are allowed.

CEDAR RAPIDS (MCT) — For just the fifth time in the last decade, the Cedar River at Cedar Rapids is expected to top 17 feet.

While out of the norm, the anticipated peak isn’t cause for concern either, said public works maintenance manager Craig Hanson.

“In 2008, we protected to a level nearly exactly like this and no one even knew it happened,” Hanson said.

“No bridges closed. This does not have significant issues for businesses ... This means we are taking proactive actions.

It has some risk, but it has very low risk.”

According to the latest National Weather Service predictions, the river will crest at 17.3 feet on Tuesday. In response, Hanson said he is stepping up flood protection throughout the city to 18 foot levels. Hanson said late Mon-

day morning that “90 percent” of that preparation was done Sunday.

“We always protect for the worst and hope for the best,” Hanson said.

“That’s what we’ll do today. This won’t be that much more to get to that point.”

There will be impacts throughout the city as the river rises. Ellis Road in Linn County between Edgewood Road and F Avenue will close. Manhattan Park will be totally flooded and Ellis Boulevard from 18th Street to Ellis Pool will close.

Further south, a pump has been stationed on First Street near the McGrath Ampitheater. Hanson said the amphitheater will not be affected unless the river tops 20 feet. Riverside Park has been closed due to the water under the 12th Avenue Bridge, and the city also will be fortifying the inter-

T:6.75”

section of 15th Avenue and A Street in the Czech Village. New Bohemia is also home to a large water pump at Third Street and 10th Avenue, as well as other flood protections. Hanson said the neighborhood is “not a problem.”

Hanson said even if “we have a really bad day in my world” and flood protection measures in the Czech Village fail, the result would only be 1.5 to 2 feet of water on A Street. That would threaten one home on A Street and one on B Street, but water shouldn’t enter either structure.

“Not at this level,” Hanson said of any threats to homes. “You’ve got to get up at 18.5 feet where we start notifying and taking actions for people.”

Iowa’s small business climate gets mixed rating (MCT) — A new survey found that while Iowa is a great place to start a small business, it struggles to support them once they are up and running.

The state scored well in overall friendliness, licensing and ease of starting a business but received poor marks for training and networking programs, employment, zoning, and health and safety.

The survey, released by Thumbtack.com in partnership with the Kauffman Foundation, ranked states on a variety of factors, including regulations, tax code and ease of hiring.

“After a two-month survey of thousands of small business owners, Iowa’s small businesses have placed the state near the top for its friendliness,” said Jon Lieber, chief economist of Thumbtack.com.

The top-rated states overall were Utah, Idaho, Texas, Virginia and Louisiana while the lowest rated

were Rhode Island, Illinois, California, Connecticut and New Jersey.

“It is critical to the economic health of every city and state to create an entrepreneur-friendly environment,” said Dane Stangler, vice president of research and policy at the Kauffman Foundation.

Other key findings include: •Iowa was one of only a few states where female entrepreneurs were more optimistic about the state’s economic outlook than their male counterparts — rating their outlook 7 percent higher on average.

•Iowa’s environmental regulations earned an A from small business owners, rating it the fifth highest in the country.
