Quiet Zone: Medians not close enough to tracks

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

The city’s Quiet Zone project in uptown Creston has hit another snag.

Ellen Gerharz, executive director at Creston Chamber of Commerce, reported Tuesday that medians constructed on Elm Street and New York Avenue during a safety improvement project last September were not built close enough to the railroad tracks.

They are anywhere from 10 inches to 4 feet short. This prob-

lem must be resolved before the city can move forward with the Quiet Zone project.

“We’ve spoken with the engineers,” Ger- Gerharz harz said. “They knew what we were trying to accomplish and if they would have read the Federal Railroad regulations on Quiet Zones, it stipulates where the medians should have come to and we wouldn’t have this issue.”

WHAT IS A QUIET ZONE? A Quiet Zone is a system — where strict

safety standards are met — so that train conductors don’t have to sound their whistle upon entering a city or traveling over a railroad crossing. It doesn’t mean engineers won’t sound their whistle. It means engineers will only sound it if they have to or in emergency situations.

The city has received bids for these median improvements at both intersections. The cost will be about $15,000.

Marsha Wilson, ward 4 city councilperson, asked who would responsible for the costs to fix the problem.

“It better be them,” said Creston Mayor Warren Woods.

City Administrator Mike Taylor, Public Works Director Kevin Kruse and Gerharz will meet with representatives with Veenstra and Kimm Engineering of West Des Moines on Thursday afternoon in hopes of “ironing out the situation.”

In other city council news: • Ellen Gerharz thanked the

local law enforcement and fire department for their efforts during the Creston Fourth of July celebration.

• During public forum, three Creston residents asked the council to take action regarding barking dogs at 907 W. Adams St. They showed the council video of the barking “roof dogs.”

One resident said she has rentals at 903 and 905 W. Adams St., but can’t find anyone to move in because of the barking dogs.

The group also agreed the property should be considered a city nuisance property.

ost people in Creston watch the Fourth of July fireworks from the grass next to McKinley Lake.

But this year, one spectator had a much closer view — from the middle of the explosions.

Using his DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ camera drone, Creston native Scott Stream recorded some up-close footage during the fireworks show, as well as birds-eye views of the parade and talent show. And now, he’s sharing the video for all Crestonians to enjoy.

Stream, 54, is a 1979 Creston Stream High School graduate who’s been in the jewelry business for 30 years. He lives in Lake Tahoe, Calif., and spends the winters kitesurfing in Asia. This year, he traveled back to Creston over the Fourth to visit his mother, Lorraine Stream, and brought his drone with him, eager to shoot in

picturesque southern Iowa.

“Creston is such a great subject,” Stream said. “It’s absolutely stunning. When you think about us, what Bali is to Indonesia with the rice paddies, Creston is to America.”

Prior to owning a drone, Stream had started shooting aerial video while kitesurfing, using a GoPro camera attached to his kite. But a few months ago in California, Stream saw someone shooting some video of swimmers in an even better way.

“Somebody was flying this white thing over all the swimmers,” he

said, “and I said to myself, ‘I don’t know what that is, but I want one.’”

That white thing in the sky turned out to be a drone. Soon, Stream was ordering his own online. Now, for the past seven months, he’s been shooting video by drone and uploading some of it to his YouTube channel, “scottstream.”

Drones, known by some as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and by others as unmanned aerial systems (UAS), have a variety of functions. According to the Federal

Possible road improvements and structure replacement policies were discussed during a regularly scheduled Union County Supervisors meeting Monday.

Board members and Union County Engineer Steve Akes discussed possible road improvem e n t s on 170th Street and Talmage Hill Road.

T h e s e c t i o n Akes of 170th Street is located east of Creston, on the north side of Highway 34. Issues for that road include work on railroad tracks, trains stopped at the crossing and flooding on the dirt road that is the

alternative route for those living on that road.

During railroad work, the crossing can be stalled for any amount of time, and an issue arose when some railroad work lasted longer than anticipated, and the inhabitants of the road were unable to get across.

The cost to fix 170th Street, which includes gravel, would be $78,972.50, and approximately $19,000 of that would be gravel costs.

On Talmage Hill Road, which is northwest of Thayer, flooding can cause inhabitants of that section of road the inability to get out.

“It (Talmage Hill Road) winds around when you get off 34, ... then it T’s into that east, west road,” said Akes.

“That part of the road I just described, it’s the part that floods, and the houses on that road, they get kind of landlocked when it floods.”

United suffers 2nd major grounding in 2 months NEW YORK (AP) — All United Continental flights in the U.S. were grounded this morning due to computer problems.

Just shy of two hours after the problems began, the Federal Aviation Administration lifted the ground stop order.

United said it was re-

covering from a “network connectivity issue” and restoring regular flight operations. The airline said that it would have a waiver available on its website for customers that are able to change their flight plans.

Costs to upgrade Talmage Hill Road could be approximately $80,000, including gravel.

“It may not flood for 10 years, ... but it’s flooded, I’d say, about every three years since I’ve been here,” Akes said. “So, it’s a problem, too.

I wouldn’t want that problem if I lived there.”

Bridges Also on the agenda for the county supervisors was the structure replacement code and standards policy, referring to bridge and road replacements.

“Typically, when there’s a federal disaster, it’s usually flooding,” Akes said. “And, when it’s flooding, bridges usually take a hit.”

While bridges take damage during floods, roads do, also, but they are easier to fix.

The policy will allow Union County to have a set standard for bridge and road measurements, so that if they ever need fixed or upgraded, that standard is where they have to be fixed or upgraded to, instead of the standard at which the

road or bridge was at before the damage.

“I know it’s come into play,” Akes said. “Last year, there was a disaster, I think in Mahaska County. They had a real issue. They lost some bridges, and FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) wouldn’t put back a bigger or longer bridge.”

Akes said the Mahaska County bridges were too short to begin with, and the land underneath washed out which caused the damage.

While bridges take into account width and length, roads usually just take into account width and slope.

“It’s usually not as big of an issue (fixing a road), whereas bridges, you might lose a whole bridge,” Akes said. “It’s just a deal where their policy, the FEMA policy, they only put back what was there before.”

The policy, according to Akes, could become important in the event of a disaster.

“I would say it’s probably going to be important just because if we have a major disaster, it’s definitely going to come into play,” Akes said.

It is the second time in two months that the carrier has been hit by major technical issues.

The Chicago company had halted all takeoffs in the

U.S. on June 2 due to what the airline described as computer automation issues.

The Federal Aviation Administration used the same language in its notice about the outage Wednesday.

Adventureland chopping Log Ride, adding new roller coaster ALTOONA — Adventureland will be closing the Log Ride this September, with a new roller coaster slated to open next year, according to a post on the theme park’s Facebook page this morning.

The Log Ride, which has been a park favorite for more than 40 years, will close for good on Labor Day weekend.

“While still structurally sound, technology for rides has advanced by leaps

A fond farewell Adventureland’s Log Ride has been in operation for more than 40 years. Adventureland posted today that the park will be closing the ride on Labor Day weekend but providing a replacement “sooner rather than later.” and bounds,” the message states. “It is requiring an enormous amount of upkeep and maintenance that isn’t feasible long term.”

The message continues to promise fans a replace-

ment “sooner rather than later.”

The new roller coaster, named “The Monster,” will open June 2016. Among the ride’s features will be a 2,500-foot steel track,

a 133-foot vertical lift hill, five inversions and a 101-degree first drop.

Those who share Adventureland’s Facebook post by noon Friday will be entered to win four tickets good for the last ride on the Log Ride, as well as two season passes for the 2016 season and two seats on the inaugural ride of The Monster.

As of 10 a.m. today, the post had more than 2,300 shares.

Aviation Administration, drones can be the size of a small radio or have the wingspan of a Boeing 737. The FAA estimates as many as 7,500 small commercial UAS may be in the air by 2018.

Although drones have made recent headlines for trespassing on the White House lawn and for their uses in war, they are also used by farmers, conservationists, cinematographers and hobbyists like Stream.

Stream said drones aren’t as hard to pilot as people may think. Technology helps the drones stabilize themselves in a crosswind, and his model’s GPS taps into six satellites. It will fly up to 3/4 of a mile away and up to 1,000 feet high, with a maximum speed of 45 to 50 miles per hour. He can watch everything through an iPhone or iPad attached to the controls, and if the drone flies out of range, it knows how to come back home.

Saturday evening, before the fireworks began, Stream let a couple youngsters take his drone for a test drive.

They were Dane Swedlund,

9, and his sister, Chloe, 7, the children of Dan and Angie Swedlund. Both said they enjoyed the experience.

“It moves pretty fast,” Dane said.

“It was actually easy if you knew how the controls worked.”

Chloe described D. Swedlund it as a “cool flying machine” and said she thought it was neat how the controller hooked to C. Swedlund Stream’s phone so she could see the camera images as she flew it.

Once the explosions started, Stream took to the controls himself. He said it was the first time he’d ever shot in the middle of a fireworks show.

Although piloting a $1,300plus drone through a flurry of bursting fireworks might seem chancy, he said it was worth it.

“I just went in by the seat of my pants and took the risk,” he said. “Towards the

end of the video, there I was in the thick of it.”

Stream shot 45 minutes of video during the Fourth, including the parade, talent show and fireworks. His fin-

ished YouTube video, edited down and set to music, clocks in at 10 minutes, 54 seconds.

It’s now posted on his YouTube channel for the Creston community to enjoy.

OPINION No doldrums in the land of the free

What emotional, tumultuous hours there were surrounding our country’s Independence Day. Newspaper people often refer to the “summer doldrums,” when nothing much happens and heat or drought are the only news. The front page is filled with photographs of watermelons and flags and citizens wiping their sweaty brows. Not so this summer.

First, a New York prison break worthy of Hollywood held our imaginations captive. I had to remind myself this was no “Cool Hand Luke” story, that the escaped convicts had done more than saw off the heads of parking meters; Paul Newman’s Luke never dismembered his boss.

Before that tense but exciting story could be resolved, a Charles-

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

ton, South Carolina, church massacre filled our hearts and headlines.

A young white man hoping to provoke a race war bought a 45-caliber Glock handgun and killed nine black parishioners gathered together at their Bible study. Despite pending drug charges, his purchase was perfectly legal.

After the gunman’s picture made the papers, holding that gun in one hand and a Confederate flag in the other, there came a groundswell of support for bringing down Confederate flags everywhere. For

a couple of days, watching Southern politicians squirm was ripe news fodder.

Despite the morality and wisdom of such an overdue public campaign to put history where it belongs — in a museum — the fact remains: Flags don’t kill people.

Guns kill people.

Not since the tragedy of Sandy Hook Elementary has there been such an opportunity to revisit gun control. Probably nothing will happen and nine more needless deaths won’t sway the NRA, but we can hope. Households without guns are safer than those with them. If people could be made to understand that, to say that, laws would be incidental.

But the news gods were not done. Lest we rest, the U.S. Su-

preme Court, in back-to-back decisions, came down on the side of Obamacare and gay marriage.

Millions of lives were changed in both instances, and for the better.

Listening to the news, I felt for a moment that I was in another country, or perhaps on another planet. These decisions from a high court of majority Republican appointees? Three came to power under presidents named Bush, two under Reagan. Humanity trumped politics.

While we were savoring monumental developments, the escaped prisoners were caught. After being bumped beneath the fold by other events, the long hunt ended.

For the first time I can remember, 24-hour news channels and Internet sites had enough real ma-

terial to feed the deadline monster.

There almost wasn’t enough room for regional recipes for Fourth of July hot dogs.

I guess I’m looking at all of this as an old newspaper reporter would, from what some might see as a warped perspective. In starting with blank pages each morning, it’s a miracle that even a flawed product appears daily.

This summer, so far at least, there’s been no scrounging for stories. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ... And Warmed Our Cold, Cold Hearts.” Comments are welcomed at rhetagrimsley@aol.com. (c) 2015 Rheta Grimsley Johnson

Hugh Hefner was ripped by former girlfriend Holly Madison HOLLYWOOD—God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Spectator ripped the dumbing down of American political discourse Friday. It’s been a steep slide. In 1775, the question was, does Parliament have the right to tax the colonies which, by their charters, are ruled by the King alone not Parliament, while today the question is, are Mexicans rapists?

Finding Your Roots was shelved

by PBS for caving in to Ben Affleck’s demand that they edit the fact they discovered that he descended from slave owners who fought for the Confederacy. He was right to panic. WalMart, Amazon, and Sears just announced they will stop selling Ben Affleck products.

The Weather Channel reported record breaking high temperatures in the British Isles Thursday with London meteorologists reporting the highest temperatures in city history. No one suffered any sunstrokes or sunburn. The English people use a special but highly-effective sunscreen called their pub.

Independence Day arrived with the popular mood turning sour on the nation’s future. Last week a poll said that fewer people say they are extremely proud to be an American. That’s because it’s increasingly difficult for pollsters to go around the country and find people who are actually Americans.

The U.S. Women’s victory over Japan in the World Cup on Sunday was marred by a social media barrage calling it revenge for Pearl Harbor. It was really tasteless.

That said, at least the Americans had the decency to wait until late Sunday afternoon before they at-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

tacked, and didn’t wake anybody up.

Hugh Hefner was ripped by former girlfriend Holly Madison in a book called Down the Rabbit Hole about her life at the Playboy Mansion. She said Viagra kept the eighty-nine year old Hef potent.

For a doctor to prescribe Hugh Hefner Viagra is like putting a flagpole on top of a condemned building.

European leaders met in Brussels Tuesday to discuss what to do about Greece’s debt after Greek voters decided to refuse austerity terms from the European Central Bank to help them pay it off. How low is their credit rating now?

Greece just put Brian Williams’ portrait on their government bonds.

The Greek people thumbed their noses at Europe Sunday and voted not to pay billions that they owe the Germany-controlled Central European Bank. Now the Germans are suddenly outraged.

As if the threat of ISIS attack isn’t scary enough for the world to worry about, Frankenstein just woke up.

President Obama was reported Monday set to commute the prison sentences of non-violent drug offenders. Every U.S. president has the power to commute, pardon, choose his cabinet, appoint judges, sign or veto bills, go to war, and declare executive action. But

by God, we won’t stand for a king.

Clarence Thomas is right Who knew that inherent rights are a political bombshell?

Justice Clarence Thomas set off a controversy in his dissent in the Supreme Court’s gay-marriage decision by reciting core American beliefs about the innate dignity and rights of all persons, whatever their circumstances or the injustices done to them. He wrote that even people held in slavery, even people interned during World War II, retained their dignity because it is impossible to erase what is woven into our very nature.

What one would think is a stirring statement about our irreducible human quality occasioned outrage among the justice’s critics.

Slate considered the passage “brutal.” MSNBC found it “jaw dropping.” Salon called it “vile.” But none could top the gay actor and activist George Takei — famous as Sulu in “Star Trek” — who fumed that Thomas had forfeited his status as a black man.

Seriously. In a TV interview, Takei called Thomas “a clown in blackface.” Amid a backlash over this insult, he doubled down: “I feel Justice Thomas has abdicated and abandoned his African-American heritage by claiming slavery did not strip dignity from human beings.” Takei the would-be racial arbiter eventually apologized, although he still thinks Thomas is “deeply wrong.”

That Takei’s first instinct was to deny the blackness of Clarence Thomas tells us much about the rancid racial essentialism of the left, which can’t get its head around minorities stepping out of ideological line.

That aside, the left’s freakout is remarkable, since what Thom-

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

as wrote represents American Founding 101. Where did Thomas get this outlandish notion of rights and dignity that exist prior to government?

Maybe Thomas Jefferson? “We do not claim these,” he wrote of our natural rights, “under the charters of kings or legislators, but under the King of kings.” Or John Adams? He wrote of rights “antecedent to all earthly government,” “that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws,” “derived from the great Legislator of the universe.”

One wonders if anyone disturbed by the Thomas dissent glanced at the Declaration of Independence over the July Fourth weekend. It says, as Thomas notes, all men “are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” In case there’s any misunderstanding, the good folks at Merriam-Webster define unalienable as “impossible to take away or give up.”

This is a truth that abolitionists wielded against the institution of slavery. The foremost of them, Frederick Douglass, held it strongly. He declared once after suffering a rank act of discrimination: “They cannot degrade Frederick Douglass. The soul that is within me no man can degrade. I am not the one that is being degraded on account of this treatment, but those who are inflicting it upon me.” (Quick

— someone ask George Takei if Frederick Douglass was truly black.)

The reaction to the Thomas dissent is, in part, about the historical and philosophical illiteracy of his critics. But they also have a profoundly different worldview. The Founders believed we have innate rights that must be protected from government. As Thomas writes, “Our Constitution — like the Declaration of Independence before it — was predicated on a simple truth: One’s liberty, not to mention one’s dignity, was something to be shielded from — not provided by — the State.”

This notion is anathema to a left that identifies the state with progress, and that defines freedom much more loosely (not to say nonsensically) as including what government gives us, in an ever-expanding palette of benefits.

Thomas is the one firmly grounded in the best of the American tradition, even if his clueless attackers don’t get it. Some of them acted as if he is somehow ignorant of the nature of slavery, even though his forebears were slaves and he grew up in abject poverty in the Jim Crow South.

Justice Thomas doesn’t just understand more about the reality of racial discrimination than his critics, but more about America and its ideals.

They should keep reading his opinions. Maybe they will learn something.

Wax on if parchment is gone?

Dear Heloise: I was baking cookies the other day and ran out of parchment paper. I was going to use WAX PAPER, but my sister said that I should not, as it’s not the same. I didn’t, but I want to know if you can substitute wax paper for parchment paper when baking cookies? — Twin Sisters in Fort Worth, Texas No, you shouldn’t use wax paper in place of parchment paper when baking cookies or anything where the paper itself is exposed directly to heat.

If you do, the paper can get way too hot.

Wax paper is made with paraffin wax and is meant to be completely covered by food, such as when baking a cake or a pumpkin-bread loaf.

Parchment paper is coated with silicon and is made for oven use where it might not be completely covered, e.g., baking cookies. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com LAST DROP OF SALAD DRESSING

Hints from Heloise Dear Heloise: I am a longtime reader of your column in the Ventura County Star in California.

I discovered this hint by accident. My refrigerated jar of salad dressing (mayo) was down to the dregs when I reached for it. It had fallen over, and since it was on its side, I could get the few remaining knifefuls quite easily.

What is it about the last few dabs of mayo in the bottom of the jar? My hint: I use an iced-tea spoon.

A good way to keep it hot until serving is to put it in my ice bucket! Depending on the shape of the bucket, you may need to break the ears in half before cooking them.

Kansas City’s Paulo Orlando hit the 3rd walkoff grand slam of the MLB season Tuesday.

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

National Digest

Twinbill sweep CHICAGO — Addison Russell hit a tying single and scored during a three-run rally in the seventh inning, and the Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3 Tuesday to complete a day-night doubleheader sweep.

The Cubs won the opener 7-4 behind a strong start by Jake Arrieta, then came back late in the nightcap. That gave Chicago its first doubleheader sweep against the Cardinals since June 8, 1992, at St. Louis -- and their first at Wrigley Field since Oct. 5, 1991.

“We’re here to win,” Maddon said. “It’s not just to compete.”

Chicago scored three in the seventh to grab a 4-2 lead. Seth Maness (31) got ejected after giving up the tying single and replacement Kevin Siegrist threw away a grounder and allowed two more runs, as the Cubs beat the NL Central leaders for just the fourth time in 12 games.

Travis Wood (5-3) pitched a scoreless seventh. Hector Rondon retired the side in the eighth.

Jason Motte gave up an RBI single to pinch-hitter Tony Cruz in the ninth. But he escaped with his fifth save in as many chances after Matt Carpenter fouled out and Jhonny Peraltagrounded into a force to end the game.

Grand slam KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Paulo Orlando was biding his time in Triple-A, hoping to be recalled by the Royals when the rosters expand in September, when he got a call from them over the weekend.

He was headed back to Kansas City for the second time this season.

The timing turned out to be perfect.

In his first game back, the Brazilian outfielder hit a grand slam in the ninth inning off All-Star closer Brad Boxberger, giving the Royals a 9-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.

“I just prepared in the minor leagues and waited for the opportunity,” Orlando said. “Now that I’m here, I’m just trying every day to stay here.”

It would be hard for anyone to send him back for a while.

Boxberger (4-5), added to the AL roster by Royals manager Ned Yost on Monday, gave up oneout singles to Eric Hosmer and Alex Rios before walking Omar Infante to load the bases.

Orlando followed by hitting his second career home run into the bullpen in left field.

The Rays had just tied the game off Royals closer Greg Holland (3-0), who allowed a leadoff triple to Kevin Kiermaier in the ninth but looked as if he may get bailed out.

Kiermaier slid over the bag and was tagged, but umpire Chris Segal ruled he got back in time. The call stood after a review of 4 minutes, 12 seconds.

Holland then walked Curt Casali and struck out Grady Sizemore before a wild pitch allowed Kiermaier to score the tying run.

Raiderettes win Ringgold County matchup

By LARRY PETERSON

Orlando

Creston News Advertiser Wednesday, July 8, 2015

MOUNT AYR — There was one certainty about the Ringgold County matchup to open Class 1A Region 6 play here Tuesday night, delayed 24 hours by Monday’s rain showers.

Either Mount Ayr or Diagonal was going to break a recent losing streak.

The Maroonettes came in on the heels of a seven-game skid at 2-16 overall. Mount Ayr, starting the season 8-6, had dropped its last eight contests.

Six errors and seven walks issued to Mount Ayr batters hampered Diagonal’s cause as the Raiderettes earned the right to travel to 10th-ranked Wayne (20-4) tonight with a 13-2 victory.

Mount Ayr had its own problems in a three-error fourth inning that allowed Diagonal to get on the scoreboard, cutting it to 11-2. But, pitcher Tessa Shields had a sharper defense behind her in the fifth to set Diagonal down in order in finishing the five-inning mercy rule victory.

“Defensively we’ve had it kind of rough. We had 81 errors coming into this game,” said Mount Ayr coach Ranae Klinkefus.

“Tonight, we bounced back from that bad inning that’s typically gotten us in trouble. On other nights, things have snowballed there. I also thought we

had good baserunning tonight and we did a good job of being patient in the batter’s box.”

Mount Ayr sent 11 batters to the plate in a seven-run first inning that set the tone of Tuesday’s victory. Megan Warin, Alyssa Johnson and Maddie Mobley each had hits during the rally and Diagonal had two errors.

Diagonal pitcher Kasydi Klommhaus allowed only one run on no hits in the Mount Ayr second frame, but the margin grew to 11-0 in the third on the strength of two hits and two more Diagonal errors.

Klommhaus was relieved

by Katie Sobotka in the fourth inning.

Macy Larsen scored one of her three runs after a single in the Raiderette fifth inning and W a r i n Larsen scored the clinching run on a wild pitch after her single.

Larsen’s run came on a sacrifice fly hit by Kirsten Dolecheck on a nice catch of a hard-hit liner by Diagonal right fielder Allison Norris.

Lenox hammers Bedford 13-3 in regional opener

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

LENOX — Lenox hammered out a season-high 18 hits here Tuesday, rolling past Taylor County rival Bedford 13-3 in the opening round of Class 1A Region 7 play.

The Tigers advance to tonight’s Region 7 quarterfinal in Kimballton against Exira/EHK. That game is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Exira/EHK beat Orient-Macksburg 16-0 in the first round on Monday.

Lenox hit the ball early

and often against Bedford pitcher Rachel Armstrong.

The Tigers scored one run on two hits and an error in the first inning, before exploding for six runs on six hits in the second inning for a 7-0 lead.

The rally started with Jessica Anderson’s leadoff double, as Megan Brown followed with an RBI single.

A bases-loaded squeeze play resulted in the first out of the inning at the plate, and then Beth Christen drove in one run with a single. Aurora Arevalo then smoked a two-run single off the left field fence.

Shantelle Brown hit an RBI single and Emily Powell hit a sacrifice fly.

Lenox head coach Tom Shields said building the early lead was important for his team.

“We just played them towards the tail end of last week,” he said. “When you see an opponent that many times in a short period, I don’t know how it affected the girls, but coach and I were awful nervous about it anyway.”

niors.”

Five sophomores and three freshmen, including both pitchers and leading hitter Maddie Lohmann (.278) form the nucleus of next year’s team.

Now the Raiderettes face the challenge of taking on state-ranked Wayne on its field in Corydon tonight. Wayne won the only

previous meeting, 11-0 in Mount Ayr on June 29 during that eight-game skid.

“We’ve played Wayne before, and they got us in the regional final last year at Chariton,” Klinkefus said. “They have a lot of Please see RAIDERETTES, page 8A

Panthers piece together 2-1 win over Winterset

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

WINTERSET — After suffering a defensive lapse its last time out, the Creston baseball team played strong defense and got a solid pitching performance from sophomore Cody Crawford in a 2-1 win over Winterset here Tuesday.

The Panthers scratched together a pair of runs, one in the first inning and one in the third inning, while holding Winterset to just a single run in the first inning.

Crawford scattered five hits through seven innings and walked t w o .

Crawf o r d d i d n ’ t Crawford strike out any batters, instead pitching to contact and letting his defense behind him do the work.

The Panthers committed five errors in a loss at Treynor on Friday, but committed just one Tuesday night.

“We had just one error and that occurred in the sixth inning,” Creston head coach Steve Birchard said. “Cody got out of that.

Cody did a really nice job.

After defensively stuttering on Friday, it was nice coming back today and playing a nice defensive game. Brenden McDowell made a nice defensive play.

Brody (Frain) made a sort of sliding catch on a blooper.

“They hit the ball hard.

Cody was not afraid to throw strikes, two walks on the night, and let his defense work. That’s sort of

fun when that happens.”

Creston took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Conner Pals led off with a single, stole second base and advanced to third on a wild pitch. He then scored on a Chase Shiltz RBI groundout.

Winterset tied the game 1-1 in the first inning on a Austin Sellers RBI single.

Pals once again ignited a Creston scoring chance in the third inning by leading off with a single.

After m o v ing to Pals second base on a passed ball, McDowell singled, giving the Panthers a first and third situation.

McDowell attempted to steal second, but was thrown out in the process.

The throw to second base allowed Pals to scamper home for a run, though, putting Creston up 2-1.

The Panthers strung together four straight hits in the inning, but couldn’t produce more than the one run.

Shiltz doubled, but ran through a stop sign at second base and was thrown out at third.

Crawford was able to work through a jam in the seventh inning, when Jacob Larsen led off with a single and moved to second base on a sacrifice before ending up at third base on a groundout. A walk put runners on the corners with two outs, but Crawford induced a Please see PANTHERS, page 9A

rally in the third inning with a leadoff single and Bailey Schmitz reached on an error.

Katie Dukes then hammered a three-run home run, one of her five hits on the night, to dead center to put the Dukes Tigers up 10-0.

Dukes finished 5-for-5 with a pair of stolen bases and three RBI. “Anytime she gets on base, the other team has got to worry about her,” Shields said. “That sets the table for us. That’s important.”

Needing just three outs in the bottom of the fifth inning to end the game by the 10-run mercy rule, Lenox couldn’t close things out.

Instead, Bedford rallied for a pair of runs, thanks to three straight hits to lead off the inning. Emily Weed hit an RBI single and Armstrong brought a run in with a bases-loaded walk.

“We took two or three innings off there without putting anything else up,” Shields said. “I don’t know

if we just felt a little complacent, like, ‘Hey, we just beat them last week and now we’re up 10-0, we’re just going to coast here.’ But Bedford didn’t have any quit in them. You’ve got to admire that. They kept fighting.”

Lenox scored three more runs in the top of the seventh inning, as Christensen hit an RBI s i n g l e to score Dukes and Arevalo smoked a Arevalo two-run homer to center field.

“That was big to just kind of take the pressure off,” Shields said. “Beth kind of struggled in the middle to late innings. I think the closer that team stays, the more pressure you get. So it was nice to put some numbers on the board in the seventh.”

Christensen pitched the complete game for Lenox, giving up seven hits and two earned runs with three walks and two strikeouts. Three of Bedford’s hits came in the two-run fifth inning.

Fallyn Beemer recorded two hits for Bedford, finishing as the Bulldogs’ only multiple hitter.

ished with three hits and four RBI. Christensen had two hits with two RBI, while Anderson recorded three hits and Megan Brown had two hits with one RBI. Lenox, now 16-11 for the season, turns its attention to Exira/EHK, which improved to 21-10 for the season with Monday’s win over Orient-Macksburg.

“The last I’d seen on Quikstats, their record was like 16-9, in that area,” Shields said. “I’m guessing they’re a team that’s comparable to us. Playing in the Pride of Iowa Conference, that usually prepares you for anything you’re going to see. Our girls did a good job of fighting back in the past 10 days or so, ending up fourth in the POI. It’s one game at a time this time of the year.”

MILO — Murray opened Class 1A Region 6 play here Tuesday with a 10-2 win over Mormon Trail.

The Lady Mustangs had four eighth-graders in the lineup, as starting shortstop McKenzie McIntosh missed the game with a back injury.

“It was a good opening regional game for us,” head coach Danny Jensen said. “We gave up just two hits. We had two errors that led to both runs.

We know it is one game at a time. ‘Survive and advance’ is our motto.”

Kayla Wookey pitched the first five innings of the game, earning the win with one hit allowed and seven strikeouts compared to three walks. Breianna Klein pitched two innings of relief, giving up one hit and striking out three.

armer weather, longer days and smells of sizzling meat on the grill can only mean one thing — summer has officially arrived.

Sizzle into summer with these tasty tips and techniques that will make cookouts, road trips and impromptu pool parties mouthwatering for less: ■ Make More Time for Fun: Keep recipes simple so you can join the party and avoid getting stuck in the kitchen.

Sometimes all you need for big flavor is to infuse simple spices into your meals. Whip up a quick dry rub with common spices like cumin, chili powder, oregano and peppercorns, and use when grilling meat, fish and even veggies.

■ Put a Fresh Twist on Comfort Foods: Add a twist to your barbeque staple foods to make your dish stand out. Stuff your burgers with jalapeño slices and cheddar cheese or top them off with unique flavors like pineapple, avocado or kiwi.

■ Keep It Cool in the Sun: Have homemade freezer pops in your freezer for impromptu pool parties and neighborhood slip and slides. Mix up this traditional summer treat by combining a classic fruit flavor with an exotic one. Coconut flakes, cilantro or honey will add a unique spin on a classic snack.

Pulse until fully incorporated. Add lemon juice and zest, season with salt and pepper to taste.

To assemble: Pour pesto into the bottom of a 1-quart mason jar, add tomatoes, olives, mushrooms and chicken. Top with pasta, and remaining cheese.

Watermelon Lime Freezer Pops Prep Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 15 minutes (plus 6 hours to freeze) Servings: 8 freezer pops 3 cups watermelon, cubed and seeded 3/4 cup Baker’s Corner Granulated Sugar, divided 3/4 cup blueberries 1/2 cup lime juice, freshly squeezedZest of 1 lime 1 cucumber, peeled and seeded 1/4 cup water 3 drops green food coloring In a blender, puree watermelon and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth.

Pour into freezer pop molds leaving a 1 1/2-inch space at the top. Drop 3–4 blueberries and freezer pop stick into each mold; freeze for at least 3 hours.

what’s cookin’ in grilled desserts Fruit skewers are easy to make and a great light and healthy finish to any good barbeque. Banana splits...what can I say... anything is good with ice cream! Smakelijk eten!

grilled FrUit sKeWers These fruit skewers are easy to make and a great finish to a good barbeque. They’re light and healthy.

1 fresh pineapple or 1 can of pineapple chunks 5 bananas 4 peaches 4 granny smith apples 2 oranges 1 cup chocolate chips Cut pineapple, bananas, peaches, and apples into chunks. Place them on a skewer. Squeeze orange juice over the fruit skewers.

Grill on the barbeque until slightly softened. This doesn’t take much time. Turn often to get the nice grill marks. Melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over grilled skewers. Every grill cooks differently, so keep a close eye on fruit.

grilled BANANA sPlits 8 wooden skewers, 6- to 8” size 2 large, firm bananas, peeled and cut into 1 to 1 1/2” pieces 1/4of a small pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1- to 1 1/2” pieces 8 Large Strawberries 2 Tbsp. butter, melted 1 tsp. pineapple juice (brandy or rum - optional) vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate ice cream (or a combination of all three) caramel, butterscotch, and/or chocolate ice cream topping chopped pecans, toasted Soak skewers in warm water for 30 minutes before grilling to avoid burning; drain. Thread banana chunks, pineapple pieces, and strawberries onto skewers, leaving 1/4” space between pieces. In a small bowl, combine melted butter and brandy. Brush mixture over fruit. Lightly coat the unheated grill rack with cooking spray before heating. For a charcoal grill, grill skewers on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot coals for 5-10 minutes, or until fruits are warm and bananas are lightly browned, turning skewers occasionally. For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-high. Place skewers on grill rack over heat. Cover; grill as above. Remove from grill. Place scoops of ice cream in serving dishes. Drizzle with ice cream topping and sprinkle with nuts.

Top with fruit skewers and serve immediately. what’s cookin’ in kyp’s kitchen sponsored by:
