gates sweet corn available starting today

HOW SWEET IT IS

winds, rain and hail, Gates said his sweet corn stand was close to perfect until July 7.

Strong winds off a storm front knocked down stalks in the plot south of the Gates family farm, which will make harvesting the corn a more tedious task.

“We will still gather as much as we can,” Gates said.

“This year has been a little different. We are starting a week earlier, all this rain and heat has moved the corn up.”

Gates grows a variety of sweet corn called ambrosia, which is known for having a good germination rate.

“It is consistent, has good vigor and it comes up out of the ground even like field corn,” Gates said. “We also like the way it hangs in the field. It gives you a little more window of opportunity (during harvest).”

Gates sweet corn is a complete family operation. Alan

DES MOINES (MCT) — Wind energy has taken off in Iowa, partly because of financial incentives.

Early on, the Iowa Power Fund provided grants totaling $75 million to promote research and commercialization of energy projects, including wind developments. The success of the program was debated, and it was canned after Gov. Terry Branstad was elected in 2010.

The state also provided incentives for wind component companies, such as Clipper Windpower in Cedar Rapids and Acciona in West Branch, said Tina Hoffman, spokeswoman for the Iowa Economic Development Authority.

■ Iowa turbines “Transportation will add an estito get something like that from Eumated $2.6 bilrope is significant,” lion to county Hoffman said of the tax collecturbine parts.

A 20-year federal tions, the Iowa tax credit was worth Wind Energy about $2 billion for Association all U.S. wind projects in 2013, accordreports. ing to Bloomberg BusinessWeek. The credit expired Dec. 31, but projects started by that time are eligible for up to 10 years.

Iowa offers wind energy producers a variety of tax breaks, including sales tax exemptions for equipment and reduced property taxes.

The Renewable Energy Tax Credit, for facilities placed into service before Jan. 1, 2017, gives producers or purchasers of renewable energy a credit of 1.5 cents per kilowatt hour of energy.

The Iowa Legislature also created a special property tax valuation for wind facilities in 2008. If county supervisors approve the procedures, owners pay no property taxes the first year of operation.

The rate increases by 5 percent a year until it reaches 30 percent, where it remains.

Iowa turbines, when they reach maximum assessment, will add an estimated $2.6 billion to county tax collections, the Iowa Wind Energy Association reported. Those taxes pay for items such as schools and roads.

The Gates family has been selling sweet corn in Creston since 1978. They will be back at their normal spot on Adams Street across from the BP gas station, selling from the back of this 1954 Chevy. They will also be selling on the northwest corner of Ringgold Street and Sumner Street near Walmart.

Sweet corn stands from Gates and Kiburz family start summer sales in uptown Creston and near Hwy. 34.

ne of the summer’s most popular vegetables will be available from roadside stands from now through the end of August.

Alan Gates’ sweet corn will be returning to sell his signature yellow-and-white sweet corn to Crestonians and other loyal customers since 1978.

“The customers are what make it fun,” Gates said.

“We get customers from all over and they send our corn all over. They’ve told us they

For their first few years, Gates and his wife Nancy sold sweet corn under a covered parking lot that was west of Fareway before moving to their current location on Adams Street across from the BP gas station.

Gates said he first started selling sweet corn to make a few extra dollars to take to the Iowa State Fair.

“We have a lot of repeat business,” Gates said. “That is one thing that really helps keep us going.”

They will have their 1954 Chevy truckbed loaded and ready to sell ears for $4.50 a

dozen.

The Gates family will also have another stand off of Sumner Street on the northeast corner of Ringgold Street. They are also hoping to add a “new” 1947 GM truck to sell out of at this location.

“We try to be uptown by 7:30 a.m. and to the other location by 9 a.m.,” Gates said.

“Then we shuttle corn back and forth until we are sold out for the day.”

Creston area students honored at National SkillsUSA Championships KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Students from Creston area high school and college technical education programs won the nation’s highest awards at the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference.

Industry leaders representing more than 600 businesses, corporations, trade associations and unions recognized the students for their demonstrated excellence in 99 hands-on occupational and leadership contests, such as robotics, criminal justice, aviation maintenance and public speaking.

All contests are designed, run and judged by industry using industry standards.

Top student winners received gold, silver and bronze medallions. Many

also received prizes such as tools of their trade and/or scholarships to further their careers and education. The SkillsUSA Championships is for high school and college-level students who are members of SkillsUSA. In addition, high scorers in the contests received skill point certificates.

The skill point certificate was awarded in 86 occupational and leadership areas to students who achieved a high score defined by industry. The SkillsUSA Championships have been a premier event since 1967.

The skill point certificates were introduced in 2009 as a component of the SkillsUSA Work Force Ready System.

Zach Mullen of Clarinda, a student at Southwestern Community College

(Creston), was awarded the college/ postsecondary silver medal in automotive refinishing technology.

Garrett Hogue of Lenox, a student at Southwestern Community College (Creston), was awarded a skill point certificate in collision repair technology.

“Over 6,000 students from every state in the nation came to compete in the SkillsUSA Championships this week,” said SkillsUSA Executive Director Tim Lawrence. “This is the SkillsUSA partnership at its best.

Students, instructors and industry representatives are working together to ensure America has a skilled workforce and every student excels. These students prove that career and technical education expands opportunities.”

Al will celebrate his 90th birthday this month.

The Gates family has also had help from several families and friends over the years including Judy Oshel, Faith Johnston and Sandy, Gavin and Hunter Sickles.

“We also have a neighbor (Mary

Watkin) who knows that when we come in from the field we are hot, dirty and tired, so she comes over and has a hot breakfast ready for us every day we are out picking,” Gates said.

Watkin makes a variety of meals, but her signatures are rice, bacon and eggs or her french toast casserole.

Emerald ash borer found in Henry County DES MOINES (MCT) — Larva collected from a tree in Mount Pleasant has been identified as the emerald ash borer by a federal identifier.

A statewide quarantine restricting the movement of hardwood firewood, ash logs, wood chips and ash tree nursery stock out of Iowa into non-quarantined areas of other states was issued in February and remains in place.

“EAB typically has a one-year lifecycle, but in colder climates, it can take as long as two years,” said state entomologist Robin Pruisner of the Iowa Department of Agriculture

and Land Stewardship.

“Finding an EAB larva in July is proof there is no ‘safe time’ for moving firewood in Iowa. No matter the time of year, the risk of EAB being transported in firewood is very real.”

The Iowa EAB Team provides diagnostic assistance to landowners and includes officials from Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, USDA Animal Plant Health Inspection Service and the USDA Forest Service.

At the event, 4-Hers had the opportunity to give a presentation, perform a skit or talent, demonstrate how to make a craft, design a visual poster or practice their radio broadcasting skills.

Fourteen 4-Hers from three different 4-H clubs participated in 14 different events. These events were done either individually or in pairs depending on the category. Two judges were present to evaluate each category and the participants, as well as provide comments and feedback to the 4-Hers.

The judges then made their selections for who would represent Union County at the Iowa State Fair in August.

Soda box doesn’t go over easy Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about the position of UPC codes: “My Sound Off is about softdrink companies. Why can’t they put the UPC code on the same side as the opening to pick up the boxes of cans? It would be so much easier and more convenient for consumers to place the boxes in their cart without having to turn the boxes over to be scanned with the handle on the bottom.” — Connie O. in Louisiana It can be a hassle to have to turn things over just to be scanned. Until they change the positioning, try placing it on its side in the cart. Then the bottom can be seen to scan the code, and you still can reach the handle. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

They usually can be cleaned in the washing machine. Set the machine to a gentle cycle and fill the tub with water. Add the detergent and let it mix before putting the sleeping bag into the machine. Push the sleeping bag down to remove all the air bub-

The Numbers Game

Germany became the first European team to win a World Cup held in the Americas.

National Digest

Cup champs BRASILIA, Brazil — Mario Gotze broke a scoreless game in the 113th minute of overtime to give Germany a 1-0 lead over Argentina, which they would hold onto, giving them another World Cup title on Sunday.

The substitute Gotze gave Germany their fourth World Cup title and sent the streets of Berlin in a frenzy.

Germany found a way to control Argentina’s superstar Lionel Messi and continued to run up and down the field in overtime.

Germany’s last World Cup title came in 1990 against Argentina.

Brazil booed BRASILIA, Brazil — The host country was already on thin ice with their fans when they lost 7-1 to Germany in the World Cup semifinals. On Saturday, a 3-0 loss to the Netherlands resulted in Brazil being booed off the pitch in front of their own nation.

Thanks in part to some poor defending, the Dutch ran rampant in the 2014 FIFA World Cup third-place match. Robin Van Persie started the performance by converting on a penalty kick in the third minute. Arjen Robben went sprinting past the Brazilian defense but was dragged down by Thiago Silva just inside the box, awarding the spot kick.

Daley Blind, son of assistant coach Danny, tallied his first-ever international goal when David Luiz misplayed a ball in the box. Instead of heading it over his own net for a set piece, he attempted to clear it but instead directed the ball right to Blind’s foot.

Holland added another goal in stoppage time from Georginio Wijnaldum while goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen stopped the two sure shots he had to face.

Mount Ayr rolls past Bedford, 12-0 Raiderettes meet Wayne in regional final tonight

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

LENOX — The Mount Ayr softball team that began the year 1-8 will look to extend its incredible postseason run another step tonight.

The Raiderettes improved to 13-12 with a 12-0 victory over Bedford in a Region 6 semifinal game here Friday, after bolting to an 8-0 lead in the first inning.

The next hurdle is a big one, however. Mount Ayr faces Pride of Iowa Conference rival Wayne of Corydon, 26-6 and ranked fifth in Class 1A, in a regional final at 7 p.m. today at Chariton.

Wayne won the previous meeting this season, 10-0.

But that was before the Raiderettes gained momentum, a run that included wins over fellow POI members East Union, Lenox and Bedford last week.

“It was 7-0 last time we played Wayne and we pitched to (Breanna) Fortune. She hit a flyball, but it was an error and all the runners scored to make it 10-0,” Mount Ayr coach Ranae Klinkefus said.

“They’re a great team, but mentally we are in a better position now. We’re hitting. Nothing changes but the timing. Hitting is a timing thing. If we can get the ball in play and get some baserunners on, that’s the

key. We’ve been alert and aggressive on the bases.”

That certainly was the case Friday in a game that was moved from Murray to Lenox after ninth-ranked Murray was stunned 9-4 by Bedford Wednesday night.

Mount Ayr put Friday’s game away early by scoring eight runs on two hits, three errors, two walks and a hit batter in the first inning.

“Errors hurt us a bunch in that first inning,” Bedford coach Kenny Weed said. “I honestly don’t think they would have scored in that inning if we make the plays on those two pop flies.”

The rest of the game, the margin was only 4-0.

But the damage had been done. Weed called on senior Michaela Mogler to relieve sophomore starting pitcher Rachel Armstrong in the third inning when the score reached 10-0.

“When we score first, we play better. We have confidence,” Klinkefus said.

“They played great defense against Murray. The way we hit the ball tonight was the difference. We hit a couple right at them, but for the most part we hit gaps and we hit it hard.”

At the top of the Raiderette lineup, Paige Daughton was 2-of-3 with two runs

scored and four R B I .

Megan W a r i n smacked a double during Daughton the eightrun outburst, and cleanup batter Kirsten Dolecheck ripped a two-run triple to right field.

Preparation To prepare her batters for Friday’s pitching speed, Klinkefus stressed proper timing.

“I was a catcher (at Panorama) and I pitch BP to the girls,” she said. “I’m

Big innings sink Timberwolves in district play

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

VAN METER — Southwest Valley knew going into its Class 2A District 15 opener here Saturday against Panorama it would have to avoid giving up any big innings.

But that didn’t stop the Panthers from putting up two big innings on the scoreboard in a 9-3 win that ended Southwest Valley’s season.

“The crooked numbers have killed us all year,” Southwest Valley head coach Pete Nett said. “One of the things we worked on was trying to get an out

and stay out of those innings. A couple of those times, I think we made the right choice to try to throw to a base to get a particular out, but it just didn’t happen for us.”

Big start Panorama scored three runs in the first inning and added six more in the fourth inning, after the Timberwolves had cut the lead to 3-2.

Southwest Valley opened the game by committing back-to-back errors.

Starting pitcher Colten Drake recorded a strikeout, but then Panorama put the pressure on.

Denis James singled in a

run, and then back-to-back walks brought in a run, while another run scored on a wild pitch.

Drake was able to finally get out of the inning with another strikeout and a fielder’s choice groundout.

But the damage had been done.

“We didn’t get nickle and dimed to death,” Nett said. “They got them in bunches and we just didn’t get out of those situations clean enough to prevent those bunches well enough.”

Drake battled out of a bases-loaded jam with one out in the bottom of the second inning and then cruised through the third

inning, going three up, three down.

Comeback The Southwest Valley bats finally came alive in the top of the fourth inning, as senior E v a n Baldwin led off with a triple off the Baldwin right field fence.

Baldwin scored when Keegan Longabaugh reached base on an error.

After stealing second base, Longabaugh took third base when Panorama pitcher Kooper Duis threw

Keselowski wins LOUDON, N.H. — Brad Keselowski took home his third Sprint Cup victory of the year at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday.

Keselowski, who won the Nationwide race on Saturday, was never tested all day long.

“It is every driver’s dream,” Keselowski said. “Every once in a while, you get these cars and thankful and try like hell to not screw them up.”

Kyle Busch won the pole headed into the race and took home second.

pretty accurate, but I’m about that speed. So that’s what we did. We preached load, load, load until you explode. Otherwise, you’ll be dropping your hands.

So we practiced it.”

Bedford, meanwhile, was held to three hits in the shutout pitched

by Tessa Shields, who finished with s e v e n strikeouts and no Shields walks.

the ball away on a pickoff attempt.

Senior Drey Barton drove Longabaugh in with an RBI sacrifice fly to left field.

The Timberwolves loaded up the bases when Bryan Pearson reached base on an error, but the inning ended with a popup along the third base line, as the Panorama third baseman made the catch while falling down.

“That fly ball, that’s a tough play,” Nett said.

“It’s a tough play, because it’s right on a line and it’s right even with the pitcher.

The ball landed in fair territory. If that kid doesn’t catch it, we’ve got the top of the order coming up and, most importantly, we’ve put a number on the board that is the same as their number, and we’ve tied the score.”

Southwest Valley couldn’t keep the momentum rolling, though, as the Panthers scored six runs on four hits and one error in the bottom half of the fourth inning to blow the game wide open.

Drake was relieved by Nick Frederick during the fourth inning after giving up four runs on six hits with four walks and four strikeouts. Frederick surrendered four runs on two hits with two walks and four strikeouts.

Neither team mounted much of an attack until the top of the seventh inning, when Frederick led off by reaching base on an error. He advanced on a wild pitch and came around to score on a Ryan Allison single to left field.

But the Timberwolves

“Tessa is on right now,” Klinkefus said. “Her pitches are hitting the spots we want them to. And she’s throwing the changeup for strikes.”

Bedford had single baserunners in the first, second and fourth innings on hits

by Callie Calfee, Fallyn Beemer and Mogler. However, Mount Ayr catcher Alyssa Johnson threw out Calfee trying to steal in the first inning to extinguish some of Bedford’s “small ball” attack.

Seniors on the Bedford squad concluding their careers are Maddy Walston, Michaela Mogler, Jamie Herzberg and Loryn Dillon.

Since beating Bedford 10-0 on June 26, Mount Ayr is 6-2 and has scored in double figures four times, in addition to an 8-0 win over East Union.

“We’re having fun right now,” Klinkefus said. “Our turning point was the last time we played Bedford.

We started playing like a whole different team. We have positive vibes and the morale.”

Duis recorded 13 strikeouts compared to just two walks in picking up the win.

NEWTON — Every so often, there are nights in NASCAR’s top three series when you realize you’re watching the sport’s future grow up before your eyes.

Saturday night at Iowa Speedway was one of those nights, as two of the rising talents in the sport went head to head for the victory in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series American Ethanol 200.

Erik Jones, an 18-yearold running a part-time schedule for Kyle B u s c h Motorsports and Ryan Jones Blaney, a 20-yearold running a full-time schedule for Brad Keselowski Racing, raced side by side for the win in the closing stages.

The race went to Jones — the second of his career — but not without a fight.

“I think it shows how good these young guys are, and that we can go out and do it.

“To race hard with him like that was really fun.

He’s definitely a great driver. To be able to go out and race hard and end up on top is pretty special to me.”

As for Blaney, he led twice for 26 laps, and lost the lead on the final pit stop.

He got his first career Truck Series win at Iowa Speedway in 2012, and was racing as hard as he could — as evidenced by him getting sideways trying to pass Jones through lapped traffic. The result left him happy with a solid finish, but frustrated at coming up short on a track he really enjoys, finishing second.

Blaney said. “If we could have kept the lead after the pit stop, I feel like we would’ve had a better shot at beating him.”

Jones led the most laps in the race at 131, which also set a career-high for the recent high school graduate.

The NASCAR Next class member has been in contention in nearly every race he’s run this season in Kyle Busch’s No. 51 truck, but bad luck has bit him on multiple occasions. Spins in two races where he was running in the top five left him even hungrier than normal for a win, he said.

“I get limited opportunities … and you really want to try to make your mark every time you get in (the truck),” Jones said. “It’s a tough industry, and when you get turned around or something like that, it’s really just a bummer and you have to take that week and just throw it away.

Stanton looks to get power NASCAR: play going in Minnesota

the incident will move past both drivers quickly, as they’ve both raced each other clean in the past and want that to continue in the future.

“It was just close quarters racing, I guess,” Hornaday said. “It’s a shame.

I thought he did it, he thought I did it. The bad part about it, we’re both racing for a championship and it hurts us even worse.

You’ve got to let it go. It’s just one of them things.

Continued from page 8A

By JUAN C. RODRIGUEZ Sun Sentinel

NEW YORK — No one since Giancarlo Stanton arrived in the majors in June 2010 has served up more homers to him than Joe Espada. The Marlins’ former third-base coach and now a member of the Yankees’ front office, Espada regularly threw batting practice to Stanton through last season.

Of the hundreds of balls that left Espada’s hand and soared over fences, one stands out. A couple of seasons ago at Citi Field, Stanton obliterated a batting practice pitch that landed in the third deck.

“He was the last hitter in that group,” Espada recalled. “When he hit that ball, I think it was the third or fourth swing, we ended that group. We all stopped and looked at it. I remember when he hit the ball you could hear that fans go, ‘ooh’ and he got a standing ovation. We said, ‘You know what? We’re going to stop it right here.’

“That ball in Minnesota, if he hits a ball like that, oh man, forget it.”

A first-time Home Run Derby participant, Stanton isn’t just expected to win it.

Everyone from fans to peers to pundits is anticipat- Stanton ing scoreboardbusting, light tower-scraping shots.

“I know he’s going to hit some home runs,” said manager Mike Redmond, who regularly throws to Stanton’s batting practice group and will serve in the same capacity Monday night at Target Field.

“Hopefully it’s just a matter of [how] far they go.”

Of course, Stanton wants to leave mouths agape, but that’s a secondary goal.

“If it goes over the fence, it goes over, 120 feet past or one foot past, it’s the same amount of points,” Stanton said. “It’s a competition, man. If I wanted to stand there and look pretty I’d just take selfies all day and post them up.

“Just be relaxed is the biggest thing. You tense up or try too hard … there are times I’ve hit 15 or 20 in 25 swings and wasn’t trying at all. There are times I’m like, ‘Alright, let me let loose,’ and I’ve hit three into the turtle. You just have to not try too much.

You’re going to have the crowd and everything. You just have to remember what got you there.”

That’s exactly the advice former Home Run Derby participants David Wright and Bobby Abreu offered.

Abreu in 2005 won it with an epic performance, totaling 41 homers.

“He just has to enjoy it and not put too much pressure on himself,” Abreu said. “More than anything, he needs to relax. He’s going to hit long home runs, but if he doesn’t think about things are going to turn out better. If he’s thinking everybody is waiting for a kilometric home

FAX

run, he’s going to put pressure on himself.”

Perhaps of equal significance is Redmond stay pressure-free. Abreu said Ramon Henderson, his regular batting practice pitcher with the Phillies at the time, deserved a ton of credit for getting him into a groove in 2005.

Redmond said unlike many power hitters who like the ball middle-in, Stanton prefers it up and out over the plate. Don’t look for Stanton to get pull-happy. He plans to stay with his usual approach of driving the ball to the bigger parts of the field.

“It’s all about just getting it over the plate,” Espada said. “I don’t think it’s about throwing it in or throwing it out. Just get it over the white and he’ll take care of it. That’s one of the unique things about Giancarlo as a power hitter. He can get the barrel to the ball easily.”

Added Wright, a twotime participant and finalist in 2006: “He’s going to do just fine. I think it would be fairer in the Home Run Derby if they made him hit oppositefield home runs and everybody else can pull it, and he still might win. As far as just raw power goes I don’t think there’s anybody on his level.”

limited to the race for the win. At lap 63, Timothy Peters and Ron Hornaday made contact off Turn 4 after Peters thought he was clear of Hornaday while making a pass.

Both drivers ended up scraping the wall. Then, out of Turn 2, Peters spun Hornaday, effectively ruining both drivers’ races and tearing the nose off Peters’ truck.

The two talked after the race, and Hornaday said

Dozier homers twice in Twins’ 13-5 win over Rockies The lefty has been sidelined since breaking his left index finger on April 12 while batting.

Anderson did have a productive day at the plate, putting down a sacrifice bunt that brought in a run.

Minnesota finished a seven-game road swing with a 5-2 record and head into the break trailing the AL Centralleading Detroit Tigers by 10 1/2 games.

Hughes was able to stave off the Rockies after being staked to an early lead. Colorado trimmed the deficit to 6-5 in Hughes’ last inning, when former Twin Justin Morneau scored on Corey Dickerson’s groundout.

Sam Fuld provided some breathing room in the seventh when he brought home a run with a sacrifice fly. Parmelee then added another run when he ran home on a passed ball.

Dozier increased the lead in the eighth with his homer that was just inside the foul pole in left. He then hit another an inning later, giving the Twins a season-high 18 hits.

By LA VELLE E. NEAL III Star Tribune

DENVER — Brian Dozier cranked up for the Home Run Derby at the All-Star game with two homers and the Minnesota Twins beat the Colorado Rockies 13-5 on Sunday.

Dozier hit a solo homer in the eighth and added a threerun shot an inning later for his first career multihomer game.

The second baseman will be one of the participants for Monday’s Home Run Derby at his home ballpark, Target Field.

Late fill-in Chris Parmelee ignited a five-run first inning for the Twins with a two-run single. He replaced outfielder Oswaldo Arcia, who was scratched with the flu.

Hughes (10-5) picked up his 10th win despite allowing five runs and 10 hits in five innings. It was his first appearance at Coors Field.

Brett Anderson (0-3) was rusty in his first outing since April as he allowed six runs — five earned — in five innings.

Nolan Arenado and Morneau each had three hits for the Rockies, who head into the break 13 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.

Minnesota pounced on Anderson early by scoring five runs in the first, all with two outs and after the Twins appeared to run themselves right out of a big inning. They had runners on the corners when Kendrys Morales hit a sharp grounder that Arenado fielded and went to second for a force. Dozier broke for home on the play only to be tagged out.

Parmelee soon followed with a two-run single and Eduardo Escobar brought in two more with a double. Fuld also added an RBI single as the Twins had a season-high seven hits in the inning.

Creston Chamber of Commerce golf tournament Twenty-six teams participated in the 17th annual Chamber of Commerce golf tournament held Friday at both Crestmoor Golf Club and Pine Valley Golf Course.

The event raised about $2,500.

“This tournament brings individuals and businesses together that don’t always cross paths,” said Ellen Gerharz, executive director at Creston Chamber of Commerce. “It allows them to network in a fun and relaxed setting.”

The Lobby team consisting of Tim Gray, Jared Knutstrom, Chris Franklin and Keith Moore placed first in the tournament. The Carter Agency team consisting of Tom Hartsock, Brian Haines, Mike Tamerius and John Kawa placed second.

Longest drive honors at Pine Valley went to Jenna McKinney. Longest drive honors at Crestmoor went to T.J. Steele.
