MONDAY, JULY 7, 2014

Flash flooding possible this evening The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a flood watch until Tuesday morning because of the potential for thunderstorms across southern Iowa tonight.

A storm system capable of producing heavy rainfall is expected to pass through southeastern Nebraska and into southern Iowa and northern Missouri tonight through Tuesday morning.

Flash flooding may be possible, especially because of the recent heavy rains across the state. Iowa averaged 9.61 inches of rain across the state in June, the thirdwettest June on record.

The watch includes Adair, Adams, Appanoose, Cass, Clarke, Davis, Decatur, Lucas, Ringgold, Taylor, Union and Wayne counties.

The NWS warns that flooding is especially dangerous at night. Flood water can rise quickly and the depth can be deceptive. Do not drive through water covering the roadway.

LOS ANGELES (MCT) — To the money managers at Silversage Advisors in Irvine, Calif., it seemed like a no-brainer to store backup computer drives far from the main office to ensure seamless operations in case of a calamity.

Then professional burglars hit the home where the drives were kept, cracked open a safe bolted to the floor and made off with the financial records of hundreds of the firm’s affluent clients: names, addresses, Social Security and drivers license numbers, account information.

The lesson for Silversage and other small businesses is simple, said Daniel D. Sands, a managing partner at the firm: “It’s not a question of if you’re going to have

Charles E. Hill Rochester, Minn.

Charles E. Hill (99), President Emeritus of RCTC in Rochester, MN and former Dean of Creston Junior College passed away peacefully in his sleep in Rochester, Minnesota at 5:45 am June 30, 2014.

Charles the only son of Harland and Emma (Mickelson) Hill was born on a farm in Wright County Iowa on September 11, 1914. He married Amy (Austin) whom he met in kindergarten in Clarion, Iowa on September 2, 1939.

After graduating from the University of Northern Iowa in 1935 and receiving his Master’s Degree from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 1938, he taught for several years in Oskaloosa at William Penn College. In 1942, Charlie moved his wife and son to Creston, Iowa to become Dean of Creston Junior College. His two daughters were born in Creston and the older two children attended Irving Elementary School and made many close childhood friends.

The family enjoyed their ten years in Creston before moving to Rochester, MN in 1953 where Charles began his career as President of Rochester Commu-

for three years. She worked for Innovative Industries for a short time and also worked as a cook at Crest Haven Care Centre for four years.

Linda spent most of her life as a homemaker.

Linda was a member of the United Church of ChristCongregational.

Linda is survived by her husband Bernard Smith of Creston; sons, Larry (Julie) Smith of Lorimor, Thomas (Dee) Smith of Branson, Mo., and Allen Auxier of Panora; daughter Bridgett (Brad) Purscell of Creston; 10 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; brothers, Lenard (Glenice) Purscell of Winterset, Leon (Joy) Purscell of Altoona and Lester (Jennie) Purscell of Earlham; sisters, Loretta (Fred) Solt of Lorimor, Lavonne (Dean) Jacobe of Van Wert and Lois (Mike) Giles of Riverview, Fla.; and numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives.

Charles enjoyed a full life in Rochester while building the college into an internationally known institution.

He participated in many community, state and national organizations. He also took time to continue his love of singing, sports, theatre, and travel.

Charlie is survived by his wife Helen (Johnson) Hill of Rochester, and his daughters Sally (Bob) Elliott, Clear Lake, Iowa, Rebecca (Jevan Loshbough) Hill, Mason City, Iowa.

He is also survived by four grandchildren and 5 greatgranddaughters.

Charles was preceded in death by his parents, wife Amy and beloved son Chuck.

A Celebration of Life will be held on July 14, 2014, at the First Presbyterian Church 512 3rd Street SW Rochester, MN at 11:00 am.

MINNEAPOLIS (MCT) — After years of parched shorelines, water levels in the Great Lakes have come rushing back. The crowds that flock to the Superior shoreline this summer are finding harbors deeper and beaches narrower than they’ve been in 15 years.

“I hope this lasts,” said Dave Tersteeg, director of parks and recreation for the Arrowhead resort town of Grand Marais. Water levels have been so low in recent years, he said, “there was some real fear that we’d have to dredge the harbor.”

Boats bob in the town harbor beside ramps that are nearly level with the lake surface. Last summer, the ramps tilted toward the depleted waterline at such a steep angle, Tersteeg worried for boaters’ safety.

The water’s deep enough now that even the largest sailboats can pull in to refuel. Last year, he said, they risked scraping the harbor floor.

Superior’s water levels are almost a foot higher than they were at this time last summer and 7 inches higher than average.

Climate change has taken a toll on the Great Lakes, warming the water and thinning the ice sheets that protect the lakes from winter evaporation. The Great Lakes have always had their ups and downs — water levels were very low in the ’60s and so high in the ’80s that houses slipped off eroded shorelines and into the water. But the 15year streak of low water was unprecedented — and alarming.

“That was something we hadn’t quite seen in the historical levels,” said Drew Gronewold, hydrologist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory. “Now, Lake Superior has gone back up.”

All the Great Lakes are on the rise — Michigan and Huron are up a foot, Ontario and Erie are more than half a foot higher than they were last summer.

The waters have rushed back at speeds that astonished and delighted residents, scientists, ports and resorts.

Heavy rainfall fed the lake’s tributaries and the severe winter capped Superior with thick sheets of ice that slowed evaporation.

“What’s amazing is the speed at which the lake levels have been returning to normal,” said James

identity theft. It’s a question of when — and are you prepared to deal with it?”

The big data breaches make headlines — such as the millions of consumers whose financial secrets were exposed by the Target Corp. hack and the Heartbleed software bug. But for every high-profile case, there are dozens of threats to confidential data held by everyday enterprises: wine shops, dentist offices, colleges, gay and lesbian community centers, makers of dog tags, defense electronics, sports gear.

The examples are culled from a list of breaches maintained by the California at-

torney general. They expose an underside of U.S. commerce populated not only by omnipresent hackers, but by thieves who snatch office computers, disgruntled vendors who use purloined data to slander businesses and poach employees, and exemployees who turn traitor for profit.

All private enterprises and government offices are required to alert potential fraud victims in such cases.

If more than 500 Californians are affected, the institution must give the California attorney general’s office a copy of the advisory letter sent to potential victims.

More than 380 of these letters have been posted since the program began in January 2012 — which equates to a major breach in the state every 2 1/2 days.

water levels will continue to rise through the summer.

Predicting water levels more than six months into the future is all but impossible.

A few months ago, visitors to Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands National Lakeshore could trek across the frozen surface of Lake Superior to marvel at the ice-encrusted coastal caves that are usually accessible only by boat.

This summer, another unusual sight will greet visitors: narrow strips of sand that used to be sprawling beaches, now swallowed by Superior.

“One of the most popular activities here at the park is walking on the beach,” said Neil Howk, assistant chief interpreter at the national park. “The beaches aren’t going to be as wide for walking on this year, and

if there are waves coming ashore, people are going to get their feet wet.”

The change in the water level, “it’s noticeable,” he said.

On Memorial Day weekend, boats around the Apostle Island were dodging icebergs. Over the Fourth of July, those same boats could pull comfortably up to docks that were barely accessible last year.

“When you get a 13-inch change in water levels over a 12-month period, you’re going to notice it,” he said.

“The beaches this year are pretty small and pretty steep. We’ve had 15 years of pretty expansive beaches. This year? No.” —————— ©2014 Star Tribune (Minneapolis) Distributed by MCT Information Services

Sharrow, facilities manager at the Duluth Seaway Port Authority. “It affects everybody from the fishermen to the beachgoers to the property owners. Everybody likes to see water levels about average.”

Average looks pretty good to communities that have been looking at a lower-than-average shoreline since the late ’90s.

The massive cargo ships in the Port of Duluth, which had to reduce their cargo loads by as much as 10 percent to squeeze through commercial channels and into shallower ports, can once again ply the Great Lakes with full cargo loads, Sharrow said.

ENTERTAINMENT

Turmoil on the tube Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about cluttered television screens: “My Sound Off is cluttered-up TV screens. Why do stations run messages across the bottom of the screen, such as upcoming shows, viewer comments, etc.? If it is not a national disaster, I don’t want to know about it. Also, the station logo runs continuously in the corner, as though I don’t know what channel I’m watching. I have missed things that were important to the program I was watching (such as quiz-show answers).

Does this annoy others as well?” — Gloria R., Highland, Ind. Yes, it does! TV screens can get very cluttered! I understand the need for some of it, but unfortunately, it’s the way things are now! My hint? I “record the show” and watch it a few minutes “behind” the live broadcast so I can dismiss that stuff and go back if I missed something. — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: A few Heloise hints to fix clothing in an emergency situation: • A stapler can fix a hem or

Hints from Heloise seam that comes undone.

• Safety pins can pin buttons back on or close a small hole.

• Use a rubber band looped through buttonholes to extend a waistband.

• Clear nail polish on snagged panty hose will keep it from running more.

— Heloise FRESH BIRDBATH Dear Heloise: My suggestion is about keeping a birdbath clean. I enjoy watching the robins take their bath every day, but they really muddy up the water. I find that the best thing to use to scrub out the birdbath every day is an old toilet brush.

Then the water is clean, and I can watch the birds have their drink. — Irene in Glendive, Mont.

This is a great hint to keep the birdbath clean, which is important. Please be sure that the brush is absolutely clean of any cleaning prod-

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

ucts! To give the birdbath a little deeper clean, try sprinkling some baking soda in it, and add a little water. Scrub with the brush and rinse very well. Do this once or twice a week, and you will have a sparkling birdbath. Baking soda is a wonderful, nontoxic product that can be used in many ways. To find out the other green ways to use baking soda, order my pamphlet Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes. To receive it, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Then I put the anchor in the drywall and the screw in. The glue helps the whole thing be a little more secure. — D.B., Stamps, Ark. (c)2014 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

Horoscope Tuesday, July 8, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Surprise things will happen at home today. Small appliances might break down, or minor breakages could occur.

You might run out of coffee.

“Oh no!”

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be careful, because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Keep your eyes open!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Watch your money and cash flow today. You might find money; you might lose money.

Also guard your possessions against loss or theft. If shopping, keep your receipts.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You feel rebellious and independent today!

That’s why you don’t want anyone telling you what to do. You intend to be master of your fate and captain of your soul!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a restless day, because a planet that is hidden in your chart is electrified with energy. This makes you ready to jump, but you don’t know what you’re going to do. Just ride this day out and be careful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) You might meet someone unusual today — a real character. Or someone you know might surprise you by saying or doing something unexpected. It’s not a boring day!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your relations with bosses, parents, teachers or authority figures will have a hiccup today. It could be anything.

Don’t overreact.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel plans will be changed, canceled or rescheduled in some way because it’s a crapshoot today. Similarly, schedules with higher education will be subject to change.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Make friends with your bank account so you’ll know what’s happening, because this is an unpredictable day for matters with shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt and insurance issues. Double-check everything!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Conversations with a partner suddenly might erupt in an argument because somebody wants more space or disagrees. This is just a shaky day.

Be patient.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your work routine will be interrupted by computer crashes, power outages, staff shortages and canceled meetings.

Don’t worry — this is par for the course for today.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Parents should be extra vigilant with their children, because this is an accidentprone day for your kids or children in your care. Make sure you know what they’re doing at all times. Remove them from hazardous situations.

YOU BORN TODAY You are hardworking, down-to-earth and pragmatic. You have the skills to build an organization and run it. In addition, you are protective, which means your personality often becomes identified with your organization. Your year ahead will be a time of growth when you want to solidify your base. Work hard to build something. Do not make major changes — not yet. (c) 2014 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Panthers hold on to conference title hopes Pull off sweep of Atlantic

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com Porcello

National Digest All-stars The fans have spoken, and they’ve said they don’t care about performance-enhancing drug scandals.

A year removed from a 50-game suspension following the Biogenesis investigation, Baltimore Orioles sluggerNelson Cruz has been voted to this year’s All-Star Game.

Cruz, who is tied for the major league lead with 27 home runs, is one of three Orioles elected to the Midsummer Classic, being held this year at Minnesota’s Target Field on Tuesday, July 15.

The AL team will also reunite Robinson Cano, now of the Seattle Mariners, with his former double-play partner Derek Jeter. The New York Yankees captain will be making his final All-Star appearance.

The National League squad will be led by Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who earned an NL-best 5.3 million votes and, along with Bautista, will serve as a team captain for the Gillette Home Run Derby, which will be aired live on ESPN on Monday, July 14 at 8 p.m

Djokovic wins LONDON — Novak Djokovic won his second Wimbledon title and denied Roger Federer his record eighth by outlasting the Swiss player in five sets Sunday.

Djokovic wasted a 5-2 lead, and a match point, in the fourth set but held on for a 6-7 (7), 6-4, 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-4 Centre Court victory that returned the Serbian player to the No. 1 ranking. t was Djokovic’s seventh Grand Slam title and broke a streak of three consecutive losses in major finals and in five of his past six.

In the last set, Djokovic broke in the final game with the help of four mistakes by Federer to seal the win.

After the players met at the net, Djokovic went to the middle of the court, knelt down and plucked out a piece of grass and ate it, similar to what he did in 2011 when he won his first title here.

Trailing 5-4 in the fourth set, Federer double-faulted to make it 30-30. He then put a backhand into the net to set up a championship point for Djokovic.

Rain-shortened DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — It had been more than 15 years since the iconic No. 43 drove to Victory Lane.

So waiting through two days of thunderstorms and three red flags was relatively easy for Aric Almirola and his Richard Petty Motorsports team.

Almirola won the raindelayed and rain-shortened NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday, putting Petty’s famed blue car back on top for the first time since 1999.

Almirola’s first Cup win came on the same weekend Petty celebrated the 30th anniversary of his 200th career win. The 30-year-old Almirola was just a baby when Petty picked up that milestone victory.

ATLANTIC — After a 6-0 win in the first game of Thursday’s doubleheader here against Atlantic, the Creston softball team’s hopes of a Hawkeye 10 Conference championship teetered on the brink of disaster.

The Panthers saw a a 6-3 lead in the seventh inning turn into a 6-5 lead with runners on first and second and nobody out.

Then, it turned into bases loaded with two outs, still 6-5.

“Thought we had a third strike,” Creston head coach Mike McCabe said about Maren McNees’ 10-pitch at-bat that ended in a walk to load the bases.

“And then we get a big K on Alexis Handel to end the game with the bases loaded. At which point, I’ve already said two decades of the Rosary.”

Creston, which dropped out of the Class 4A state rankings after being ranked 15th the previous week, barely held on to complete the doubleheader sweep, improving to 20-9 overall and 16-3 in the conference.

Harlan, meanwhile, entered play today at 19-10 overall and 15-3 in the conference, with one game against both Atlantic and Shenandoah scheduled for today. Creston finished the Hawkeye 10 and regular

season schedule this afternoon with a makeup game against Council Bluffs St. Albert. Information on that game will be published in Tuesday’s CNA sports section.

Nightcap McCabe said he faced a dilemma going into the second game of the night — come back with No. 1 pitcher Haylee LaMasters, who had pitched a gem in the first game, but has struggled at times in doubleheaders this year, or go with No. 2 pitcher Taylor Briley.

“We kind of decided, we hadn’t had much luck on second games this year, so go ahead and go with Taylor,” he said. “If we had to come back to Haylee, we’d come back.”

The Panthers took a 1-0 lead in the first on a 2-out RBI single by Natalie Mostek, scoring Briley.

But, Atlantic ans w e r e d Briley with a 2-out RBI hit by Mollee Welter.

Creston added two runs in the third inning to go up 3-1, thanks to RBI hits Mostek

from Briley and Mostek after Alyssa Higgins started things with a double.

A Brenna Baker 2-out hit in the fifth led to a Jami Sickels RBI to make it 4-1.

Atlantic came back against, getting an RBI from Emily Mitchell to make it 4-2.

But the Panthers added a couple of insurance runs in the top of the sixth. Alli Thomsen and Josie Sickels got base hits and then LaMasters dropped a two-run double into right-center field to put Creston up 6-2.

The Trojans got one run back in the bottom of the sixth inning, stranding two runners on base.

“Now I’m in a quadry,” McCabe said. “Do I stay where I’m at or do I bring No. 1 back? They were at the top of the order and we just got out of a mess in the sixth.”

McCabe went with LaMasters for the seventh

Hawkeye 10 title race Here is how Creston can either win a share of, or win outright, the Hawkeye 10 Conference softball championship: • Creston guarantees itself at least a share of the Hawkeye 10 Conference title with a win today against Council Bluffs St. Albert.

• A Creston win today plus wins by Harlan today against both Shenandoah and Atlantic results in the Panthers and Cyclones sharing the Hawkeye 10 Conference title.

• A Creston win plus a Harlan loss to either Shenandoah or Atlantic results in the Panthers winning the conference title outright.

• A Creston loss today would require a Harlan loss to earn a share of the conference title, and would require two Harlan losses today to win the conference title outright. inning.

After a leadoff single, Mitchell blooped one over Lexie Little’s head at third base. The ball bounced out of Briley’s glove after she collided with Little, landing in fair territory.

“Now we have a mess,” McCabe said. “Second and third, nobody out. Brooke Newell doubles to rightcenter field. Now it’s 6-5, runner on second and nobody out. I’m now cussing at myself.”

But LaMasters got Welter looking at strike three for the first out. Tori Bruck got a base hit, and took second base, putting runners on second and third with one out.

A ground ball hit to Briley at shortstop led to another out, as she gunned

down the runner heading home.

After the walk to McNees eventually loaded the bases, LaMasters got Handel on strike three to end the game and preserve Creston’s hopes of a conference title.

“I never saw so much relief,” McCabe said. “I had outfielders tell me they thought they were going to vomit! I said that’s good, you need to go through that kind of situation.”

Shutout The 6-5 thriller came on the heels of a 6-0 shutout in which LaMasters was dominant.

Creston loses 7th one-run game of season

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

ATLANTIC — Creston fell to 1-7 in games decided by one run with a 2-1 loss to Atlantic here on Thursday.

Senior Brandon Phipps has been the hard luck losing pitcher in three of those seven losses.

Phipps gave up six hits in six innings, with just one earned run, on one walk and four strikeouts.

On the Phipps other side, Tristan Benn gave up just three hits and struck out nine with one hit batter. Benn had a no-hitter g o i n g through five innings, before Creston senior Garret T a y l o r Taylor finally recorded a hit in the top of the sixth inning.

The pitcher’s duel lasted through five innings, as Phipps worked out of a couple of jams along the way.

“We sort of made some plays and got out of some innings early on,” Creston head coach Steve Birchard said. “They had a double in the first and Brandon did a nice job of getting out of that. They threatened in the second, but too little, too late.”

Atlantic finally broke the scoreless tie in the bottom of the sixth inning.

The Trojans got a leadoff double and the runner advanced to third base on a passed ball.

“We played our infield in and he (Tyler Thomas) hit the ball to the right of shortstop,” Birchard said about the next batter. “Conner Pals took one step to his right and fielded it, and sort of fell and just missed getting him at the plate.”

After a sacrifice moved Thomas to second base, Collin Baker hit a ball to the left side of the infield, that snuck through, allowing Thomas to score.

With only one hit entering the seventh inning and already down to just one out left, things looked bleak for the Panthers.

But, freshman Chase Shiltz hit a double and Phipps followed with an RBI single to bring him home, cutting the lead to 2-1. But Shiltz the game ended on a strikeout, as Creston fell to 10-10 overall and 8-8 in the conference.

The Panthers resumed their suspended game with Council Bluffs St. Albert this afternoon and host Winterset on Tuesday for senior night. Varsity action is scheduled for approximately 7:30 p.m., following the junior varsity game.

Creston also resumes its suspended game against Clarinda on Wednesday, with the JV game beginning at 3:30 p.m.

Junior varsity The Creston JV team improved to 9-5 for the season with a 5-4 win over Atlantic on Thursday.

Star Tribune

MINNEAPOLIS — Ricky Nolasco hasn’t performed like a pitcher deserving of the richest free-agent contract in Minnesota Twins history. His 18th start Sunday was just as dreadful as his season.

The righthander had his worst outing this year, giving up six runs in two innings, in a 9-7 loss to the Yankees at Target Field.

Nolasco, who signed a four-year deal worth $49 million in the offseason, threw a mere 42 pitches against 13 batters. Only 25 of his pitches were strikes.

“He did nothing,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. “He didn’t have anything, and nothing was coming out of his hand. They hit everything he threw up there.”

Nolasco allowed the first two batters on base to start both innings, and that resulted in four of the six runs New York scored against him. It was the fifth time in his past six starts Nolasco has given up a first-inning run.

Down 2-0, Nolasco loaded the bases with three consec-

utive singles in the second.

Following Derek Jeter’s sacrifice fly that gave the Yankees a 3-0 lead, Jacoby Ellsbury hit a three-run homer to right.

“It was a bad one,” Nolasco said. “I didn’t have anything, but that’s no excuse.

Usually you battle and try to find a way. I had a couple bad innings, and that’s all I had when I go back out and try to battle.”

It was the worst start for Nolasco since last Sept. 14, when he lasted 1?? innings with the Dodgers, giving up seven runs (five earned) on seven hits against the Giants. Gardenhire said after the game the team has discussed different options with Nolasco, including the possibility of putting him in the bullpen. The loss dropped him to 5-7 with a 5.90 ERA. “It starts with him,” Gardenhire said. “He’s got to do a better job. Bottom line is he’s got to figure out something because today wasn’t any good at all. He didn’t do anything. He didn’t locate anything. They were all over every pitch.”
