Design charrette set for new library addition

By KYLE WILSON

Architects from FEH Associates of Des Moines will be in Creston Aug. 4-5 for the charrette. The community is encouraged to attend.

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

Your input is needed.

Creston Library Board has set dates for a design charrette with architect firm FEH Associates of Des Moines for Aug. 4-5 at Gibson Memorial Library.

The goal of the charrette is for architects to gather input from the community for the design of a new addition and renovations to the current city library.

“We’re bringing our design

team down,” said John Karrmann of FEH Associates. “We’re going to park in this (genealogy) room for a couple days. We’re going to generate a lot of ideas — like how to arrange spaces on the site to meet program needs, which direction to go with the addition, where extra parking makes sense.

We are inviting the whole com-

munity to this. We need them involved.”

Karrmann said the design team will begin the morning of Aug. 4.

Architects will be sitting at tables drawing freehand on paper and responding to what community members are telling them they want and don’t want in the library addition. Architects will then

post the drawings on the wall in chronological order.

“The community can come and go as they please over the two days,” Karrmann said. “The drawings will be pinned up on the wall.

So, if they can’t make it the first day, they can look there and catch up on what’s been designed so far.

We will be taking broad ideas and working them into a fine layout as the hours progress. We will have review times during lunch and early evening each day.”

Karrmann said, by the end of the two days, they will work to-

ward building consensus from the community on what the final concept should be for the addition.

“We will do all these drawings and will find out we didn’t get any of them right,” Karrmann said.

“But, we do find out there are pieces from A and D that we can meld together in a concept we can move forward with.”

Karrmann said 3D computer model images can be produced following the charrette. The News Advertiser will have more about the charrette as the event gets closer.

Creston Monday afternoon. Many cooled off at the pool Monday as heat indexes reached 111 degrees. Today will be another hot day with temperatures forecast in the 90s. The pool and concession stand is open 1 to 7 p.m.

Heat warning issued for Midwest KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat warning for parts of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois.

Temperatures are ex-

pected to reach into the upper 90s in some areas Monday, with heat indices soaring to 116 degrees because of high humidity.

Strong storms are also forecast for parts of the Midwest and Ohio Valley.

Forecasters say there could be a strong tornado or two, along with large hail, as storms begin to form later Monday in eastern Iowa and northwestern and central Illinois.

Illinois and Indiana already have had a squall line go through Monday.

Forecasters say additional storms could hit the two states, along with other parts of the Corn Belt and western Kentucky.

DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad should reopen two former staterun mental health centers to comply with Iowa law, according to a lawsuit announced Monday by the head of the state’s largest public employees union and 20 Democratic lawmakers.

Danny Homan, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, says the lawsuit, which includes support from Democrats in the House and Senate, was filed in Polk County District Court and seeks to compel Branstad’s administration to reopen the centers in Clarinda and Mount Pleasant.

The lawsuit claims the closings were illegal because Iowa law requires the state to operate them.

“No one is above the law.

That includes the governor.

We are filing this lawsuit to hold him accountable for breaking the law,” Homan said in a statement.

Branstad spokesman Jimmy Centers responded by reiterating the governor’s stance that the centers were not suited to offer Branstad modern mental health care.

“Mr. Homan and AFSCME may be resistant to change that improves Iowans’ health and eager to sue on behalf of their members to protect the status quo, but Gov. Branstad will continue putting patients first and working to improve care, increase access and modernize our state’s delivery of services,” he said in a written statement.

The suit also names Charles Palmer, the director of the state Department of Human Services. A Please see LAWSUIT, Page 2A

LAWSUIT: Continued from Page 1

DHS spokeswoman said the agency doesn’t comment on pending litigation.

Branstad proposed removing state funding for the centers in a budget plan released in January. Lawmakers from both parties criticized the move and debated the issue throughout the legislative session. In the end, the Republican-majority House and the Democratic-led Senate reached an agreement to keep the Mount Pleasant facility open and to seek a pri-

vate provider to run services at Clarinda. Branstad later vetoed the deal.

Branstad has faced similar court challenges in the past.

Homan and a group of Democrats filed a lawsuit over Branstad’s veto in 2011 of some economic development funding that closed 36 unemployment offices. In 2012, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled Branstad overstepped his authority. Lawmakers approved a new budget for workforce development.

In early 2014, Homan and

some lawmakers again filed a lawsuit over Branstad’s unilateral decision to close the Iowa Juvenile Home, a facility for the state’s most troubled girls. The Iowa Supreme Court later dismissed the suit, calling it moot because the Legislature had agreed to stop funding the home.

OPINION

Cybersecurity, encryption and the golden age of surveillance The Internet, the electronic nervous system of the planet, has changed human society, profoundly altering the way we conduct our lives. It has been a great leveler, allowing people to connect, publish and share on a global scale. You can write, shop and bank online, or organize a demonstration that could overthrow a dictatorship.

But the Internet also opens us to intense monitoring, exposing our most personal, private communications to the prying eyes of corporations and government spies, not to mention criminals. One way we can protect ourselves is with encryption, which provides security for our data, allowing us to send and store digital information safely, essentially scrambling the information. In order to unscramble it, you need a key, a password. The ability of regular people to access encryption tools has prompted the governments of both the United States and the United Kingdom to propose special access to all communications. They want a master key to everyone’s digital life.

FBI Director James Comey appeared before a Senate Committee on Wednesday, July 8, along with U.S Deputy Attorney Gen-

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

eral Sally Quillian Yates. As the meeting convened, the frailty of our networks was on display for the world: The New York Stock Exchange was shut down for half a day, supposedly due to a computer “glitch”; United Airlines grounded flights when it lost access to its computer systems; and The Wall Street Journal website was down due to “technical difficulties.” The Senate panel was called “Going Dark: Encryption, Technology, and the Balance Between Public Safety and Privacy.” “Going Dark” is a term used when people encrypt their communications. A joint statement from the duo, delivered by Yates, acknowledged “citizens have the right to communicate with one another in private without unauthorized government surveillance -- not simply because the Constitution demands it, but because the free flow of information is vital to a thriving democracy.”

Despite the lofty pledge, Comey and others in the so-called intelligence community want unlimited access to all communications, all the time. They want what digital security experts call “extraordinary access mandates.” This means that any encryption tool would be required to have a “back door,” through which the FBI, the CIA or whomever possesses the requisite authority could access and read the communication, whether it is email, text, video chat or any other format. Why do they want this unlimited access? As Comey and Yates said, “When changes in technology hinder law enforcement’s ability to exercise investigative tools and follow critical leads, we may not be able to identify and stop terrorists who are using social media to recruit, plan and execute an attack in our country.”

A group of the world’s leading experts on computer and Internet security published a paper this week on just how deeply flawed Comey’s demand is. Fifteen authors contributed to the paper, published by MIT and titled “Keys Under Doormats: Mandating insecurity by requiring government access to all data and communica-

tions.”

Bruce Schneier, one of the paper’s authors, is a security technology guru and author of “Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World.” He said on the “Democracy Now!” news hour: “It’s extraordinary that free governments are demanding that security be weakened because the government might want to have access.

This is the kind of thing that we see out of Russia and China and Syria. But to see it out of Western countries is extraordinary.”

Comey wants to mandate a back door, a built-in security weakness.

Schneier continued: “What Comey wants is encryption that he can break with a court order. But as a technologist, I can’t design a computer that operates differently when a certain piece of paper is nearby. If I make a system that can be broken, it can be broken by anybody, not just the FBI. So his requirement for access gives criminals access, gives the Chinese government access.”

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., has been one of the most vocal critics of government spying. In an online critique of a blog post by FBI Di-

rector Comey, Wyden wrote: “Trying to restrict the use of encryption would cast suspicion on those who legitimately seek protected communications, such as journalists, whistleblowers, attorneys, and human rights activists. ... It’s time to stop attacking the technology and start focusing on real solutions to the real threats facing our nation.”

Bruce Schneier summed up: “We’re concerned about the security of our data, and encryption is a valuable tool. To deliberately weaken that at the behest of the FBI or the U.K. government, I think, is a really crazy trade-off.

It doesn’t make us safer; it makes us more at risk.” Ultimately, it is democracy that is at risk. The freedom to communicate without the government spying on us is essential to the functioning of a free and open society.

U.S. Women’s soccer team were given a ticker-tape parade HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Confederate battle flag was lowered on the state capitol in South Carolina Friday in front of thousands of spectators. It was a solemn ceremony. After its removal from the flagpole, the flag was carefully folded by the honor guard and then flown to San Francisco where it’s free to own slaves now.

I honestly can’t believe some of the things I have been hearing in regards to the Confederate flag and racism debate, including Obama giving what is supposed to be a eulogy but for some reason discussing how long it takes to erase history. Seriously? Obama really wants to erase history? (For the record, a funeral is not the time or place to discuss trivial matters.)

There is a quote that I love, “Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.” I LOVE history and am very proud of our country’s history (both the good and the bad), but I do NOT want to repeat things that have happened in our country’s past, such as slavery. (Unfortunately, we are sinking into another form of slavery. The “you don’t have the right to be politically incorrect” kind of slavery.)

If we erase Thomas Jefferson from D.C. for owning slaves, then we also need to erase George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln started a war, illegally, to keep the Confederate states from seceding the Union, which is something that

every U.S. state has the right to do. The Confederate flag was that of a new country. To say that the Confederate flag is simply a symbol of racism is very ignorant.

Many perished for their right to save their Confederate country.

Abraham Lincoln wanted to punish the South, and one way to do so was by freeing all or some black slaves. Also, did you know he was working on plans to give all blacks a one-way ticket to Africa?

That is how much he cared about black people! Union soldiers, who mostly disrespected black people as well, were mad when the Civil War got turned into an issue about slavery. Don’t worry, my sources of information has come from a mostly liberal education, my own research and the ability to analyze because the most valuable thing I learned in college was how to think for myself and question everything, especially my instructors.

My next question is this: when will Obama demand that the American flag be erased? Forms of slavery for white and black people existed much longer under the American flag than it ever existed under the Confederate flag, both

before and after the Civil War. When a FEW ignorant people turn to the extreme and physically hurt or kill people over race or anything else is not an excuse for people (e.g. Obama) to BULLY others into getting what they want. Don’t be a bully, and don’t label supporters of the right to fly the Confederate flag racists.

I have another question. How many countries does our flag fly next to, on and off U.S. soil, that has or has had a form of slavery?

We don’t even bat an eye about that.

I won’t allow myself to forget our country’s history, and I will make darn sure my children learn and don’t forget both the good and bad of U.S. history. I’ll be damned if I let Obama erase our country’s history without putting up a fight. If he comes after my American flag, he had better come prepared because I’ll put up a fight in order to keep it flying or at least die trying, like they did in the War of 1812.

The best lesson anyone can learn is to learn from their mistakes; so I suggest everyone remember that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

Recycling idea gets shredded Dear Readers: A recent column addressed what to do with SHREDDED PAPER. One hint was to recycle it in a curbside recycling bin. This hint prompted many comments. Here are just two: * Katherine S., via email, said: “In your column, you said to put shredded paper in the recycle bin, but not too long ago I had bags of shredded documents and was told this cannot go in recycling. I never could figure out why, so maybe you could check into this?” * Valerie W., via email, said: “Your recent column ... in our Kenosha (Wis.) News told readers to recycle shredded documents in their recycling bin with newspapers. I was surprised myself to learn that our recycling company does NOT want shredded paper. It gums up the equipment that divides the recyclables.”

Thanks for the update, readers. Some recycling centers take the shredded paper, but ONLY if it’s in a brown paper bag so that it’s separated from the other items. Many won’t accept shredded paper because of the messy small pieces. — Heloise Bonjour, Readers: Happy Bastille Day! — Au revoir, Heloise FISHING HOOKS

Hints from Heloise Dear Heloise: When my husband and son came home from fishing, I always found dangling fishhooks in the garage. I used empty prescription bottles and put each hook in a large one, and the fishing line comes through the cap.

Sometimes a small bottle will work, depending on the size of the hook. I don’t have to worry about an accident. — Ann P., Belle Chasse, La. Ouch! You don’t want to be “hooked” by a wayward fishing hook! Your hint is a good one, and I’d love to hear other fishing hints from my readers.

David, that means you, too! — Hugs, Heloise PILL CASE Dear Heloise: I was packing to go on a trip and was looking for a really small container for some itty-bitty pills I take. I couldn’t find one. Then I discovered that I had a brand-new contact-lens container that would work. — Laura L., San Clemente, Calif.

Murray’s quest ends in 9-1 regional loss Lynnville-Sully makes third straight trip to state

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

Frazier

National Digest

Frazier wins CINCINNATI (AP) — “The Toddfather” has a new title. Todd Frazier - Little League World Series star, Frank Sinatra aficionado - is baseball’s new King of Swing.

The Jersey boy who never seems to get rattled waited until his very last swing - three times, no less - to win the All-Star Home Run Derby in his home ballpark on Monday night.

Pressure? Sure didn’t show it.

The Reds third baseman became only the second player to win the long-ball competition on his home field Monday night, topping Dodgers rookie Joc Pederson 1514 with another late surge and one last perfectly timed swing.

“No pressure here with these fans,” he said, after accepting the crossedbats trophy to one more standing ovation at Great American Ball Park.

Frazier joined the Cubs’ Ryne Sandberg for home-field homer titles — the Hall of Fame second baseman did it at Wrigley Field in 1990. After finishing second last year in Minneapolis, this one was as sweet as that winning swing.

Pederson was trying to become the first rookie since Wally Joyner in 1986 to win or share the title. He reached the final round by knocking off Albert Pujols, who provided a blast after making the All-Star team for the first time in five years.

Frazier had been gearing up for the derby all season. He faded badly last year in Minneapolis, reaching the finals before losing to Yoenis Cespedes 9-1. He was so worn out that he could barely hit one at the end, and he planned to pace himself better this time.

He hung in there and added to his lore for big home runs.

Frazier was a member of the 1998 Toms River team in New Jersey that beat Japan for the Little League World Series championship. He had a homer among his four hits in the clinching game.

Starters named CINCINNATI (AP) — Zack Greinke, 31-yearold Dodgers right-hander with a big league-best 1.39 ERA, starts tonight against Houston lefty Dallas Keuchel, known for a distinctive long, bushy beard, in the Major League All-Star Game at Great American Ballpark.

Greinke is 8-2 and enters the game following five straight scoreless starts over 35 2-3 innings.

The three-time All-Star can terminate his contract at the end of the season, forfeit a minimum $71 million over the next three years and become a free agent again.

Keuchel, 27, is 11-4 with a 2.23 ERA. Since starting his big league career 9-18 in 2012 and ‘13, he is 23-13.

He becomes Houston’s fourth All-Star starting pitcher after J.R. Richard (1980), Mike Scott (1987) and Roger Clemens (2004).

PLEASANTVILLE — There will be no 10th anniversary state tournament appearance for the Murray Lady Mustangs.

Instead, fourth-ranked Lynnville-Sully will go to Fort Dodge for the third straight year — and fourth state qualification in five years — after a 9-1 victory over Murray in the Class 1A Region 6 finals here Monday night.

Murray, making its fourth regional final appearance under coach Danny Jensen in 35 years, was hoping to duplicate the school’s only state tournament appearance in 2005.

It was a 3-1 game through five innings against the speedy Hawks lineup, which featured 185 stolen bases in 37 games.

But the Hawks added four runs in the sixth, including a two-run homer by third baseman Brenna Lanser, to open up a 7-1 lead.

Then two more runs crossed in the seventh on an error that would have ended the inning on a grounder back to the pitcher, inflating the final margin to 9-1.

Lanser also had a big game defensively at third, finishing with seven assists for the Hawks.

Jensen’s squad closes the season at 27-5.

“The other four games we lost, we were in all of them until the very end,” Jensen said. “Tonight we survived

the first five innings. But their speed game killed us.

Their hitters are pretty dang good, and (Madison) Rasmusson is a pretty tough pitcher. She kept the ball down and in on our hands, hence all of the ground balls to the left side. Their third baseman had a great night.”

Busy baserunners Murray eighth-grade pitchers Kayla Wookey and Breinna Klein combined to issue seven walks while allowing nine hits, which created opportunities for Lynnville-Sully’s speed game to do its damage.

“We’re pretty young in the circle, and they’ll learn that in a regional final game we can’t have that many walks,” Jensen said.

“I thought Kayla threw well tonight, take away the throwing error. Breianna didn’t quite have her best stuff tonight. But in the end, Rasmusson shut us down and we didn’t play enough defense. They’re better, I have to give them kudos.”

Lynnville-Sully coach Stacey Alberts likewise expressed her respect for Murray’s program, and wasn’t surprised to see her team in a 3-1 battle through five innings against the unranked Lady Mustangs.

“Danny is well-known.

He has 700-plus wins in softball and we knew his teams are fundamentally sound and we would not catch a team like that off guard very much. We knew their pitching staff was young and we wanted to take them deep into counts. We had

some people find their way on base, either by drawing walks or getting base hits, so that we could have some opportunities.”

Lynnville-Sully left 10 runners on base, so Wookey and Klein worked out of some jams that could have spread the score sooner.

Murray, on the other hand, had only four hits — two each by catcher Zadie Hatfield and Klein — and left five runners on base.

The Lady Indians added three more runs in the second inning, as Sidney Marker singled and Vanessa Bakley doubled. Chynna Beydler reached on a fielder’s choice that scored Marker, before Andrew got another RBI base hit and Kassidy Spurgin hit an RBI sacrifice fly.

Clarke loaded the bases in the bottom of the third inning, but Bakley flew out to left field and Saydel left fielder Jenna Jackson threw out Kindred, who tagged up, at the plate to end the inning.

Beydler led off the fourth inning with a single and Andrew smoked a single up the middle. The ball scooted past Saydel’s center fielder, allowing Beydler to score from first and moving Andrew to third, giving Clarke a 7-0 lead.

Redman’s only hiccup came in the top of the fifth inning, when Liz Miklus hit

a one-out double and Lyndsay Bianchi singled. Both runners scored on Annika Hofbauer’s single, combined with an error in the outfield.

But Clarke responded with two more runs in the bottom of the inning.

Ally Deutsch and Brooke Hem hit back-to-back doubles and Andrew hit a sacrifice fly to score Megan Linskens, who was running for Hem. “I kept looking up at the scoreboard and seeing how many hits we had, and no matter what they do getting on base, I knew our bats were going to get us back out of trouble,” Diehl said.

“The defense stepped up and made plays. Sydnee did a great job on the mound.”

Panther hitters struggle in loss to ADM

By KYLE WILSON

KNOXVILLE — Don’t count out the Clarke softball team.

After losing five starters from last year’s Class 3A state championship team, the Lady Indians got hot at the end of the season just to finish the regular season with a .500 record.

With Monday’s convincing 9-2 win over 13th-ranked Saydel, the unranked Lady Indians are headed back to the State Softball Tournament for the third straight year.

And this time, Clarke didn’t need a walkoff hit in the bottom of the seventh inning to advance to state.

“Every year has felt different. The emotions have been different, but it’s always such a rewarding feeling to know the kids worked this hard to get in this position to make it back to Fort Dodge,” Clarke head coach Lindsay Diehl said. “It felt like we were in the driver’s seat the whole time.”

Clarke flipped momentum early and stayed in the driver’s seat the remainder of the game, keeping its foot on the throttle.

Saydel loaded the bases in the top of the first inning, but sophomore pitcher Sydnee Redman induced a comebacker to end the inning.

Clarke started the bottom half of the inning with four straight singles, combined with a Saydel error, taking a 3-0 lead. Sara Andrew and Amanda Kindred each drove in a run in the inning.

“I felt like we were setting the tone of the game,” said Andrew, who finished 3-for3 with three RBI. “That’s what we did. We wanted to

ADEL — The Creston baseball team could only muster three hits off senior hurler Ethan Herron in a 7-2 non-conference loss to the ADM Tigers here Monday evening.

Creston baseball coach Steve Birchard said Herron wasn’t overpowering, but was able to stay around the strike zone and used a slow curveball to collect four strikeouts in five innings of work.

“We didn’t hit the ball well tonight,” Birchard said. “Herron was using a curveball as his out pitch. It wasn’t anything we haven’t seen before. We just had trouble picking it up.”

Chase Shiltz had two of the three hits off Herron on the evening.

Shiltz reached on a single in Shiltz the first inning.

Jaden Driskell then drew a walk and — after they both moved up on a wild pitch — Cody Crawford plated them when he blooped a single into right field, giving the Panthers an early 2-0 advantage.

“The early runs were promising. That’s what you hope for in a game like this,” Birchard said.

Kadon Hulett started on the hill for Creston.

Hulett — boasting a 4-1 Hulett

record and 1.50 ERA this year — was sharp again allowing zero runs on two hits while striking out one.

Shiltz entered in the third with a 2-0 lead and gave up one run on one hit.

“We wanted Hulett and Shiltz to get work tonight with our district game Friday,” Birchard said.

Crawford pitched the fourth inning and part of the fifth with ADM touching him up for five earned runs on six hits. Brody Frain relieved Crawford in the fifth and finished the game.

“Crawford just didn’t have his stuff tonight,” Birchard said.

Birchard said opportunities arose in the fourth inning to score runs when Herron walked Crawford and Hulett. However, Crawford was thrown out by the catcher when he tried to advance on a ball in the dirt. Later in the inning, the same thing happened to Hulett.

“I don’t fault either of them for being aggressive,” Birchard said. “Did we get the best jump? Probably not. Either way, their pitcher threw eight balls and ended up recording two outs.”

ADM held a 6-2 lead after five innings. They’d add one more in the sixth inning to seal the victory. With the loss, Creston moves to 1314 overall. ADM moves to 10-20 for the season.

Creston finishes its regular season tonight in a varsity/ junior varsity matchup at Chariton.

Roadrunners rally to advance to state

hand in Friday’s Region 7 semifinal victory against Van Meter.

Morris had a successful surgery Monday, but will miss the remainder of the season.

“We work pretty hard on swinging the bat,” Bogs said.

“The only thing we continue to talk about is if the pitcher is throwing outside, we need to hit it to the outside.”

I-35 found an offensive spark after Kate Stanley drew a walk and Slye Richardson took a pitch off the helmet to get on base for the Roadrunners in the eighth inning. With two outs, Shai Major drove a pitch into right center field, for the eventual game-winning RBI, 3-1.

Carlyn Stanley picked up the victory from the circle for I-35, striking out nine Madrid batters. The Roadrunners improved to 25-7 for the season.

“I was so proud of everybody,” Carlyn Stanley said.

“I knew when that ball (the final out) went up in the air my teammates were behind me.”

The victory sets up a matchup with Fort Dodge St. Edmond in the first round of the State Softball Tournament Tuesday, July 11 at 1 p.m. Harlan Rogers Sports Complex in Fort Dodge. Fort Dodge St. Edmond (25-7) is ranked first in the final Class 2A state softball poll.

URBANDALE — Leading 1-0 with two strikes and two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, Interstate 35 was one play away from its first trip to the state softball tournament since 2005.

But the celebration was put on hold.

Madrid’s Mariesa Maceda roped a line drive into left field that was mishandled, allowing teammate Jordyn Achenbach to tie the game 1-1 and extend the Class 2A Region 7 Final into the eighth inning.

“She (Maceda) is a scrappy hitter and she is not a true lefty, we turned her into that this year,” said Madrid head coach Whitney Boaz.

“I told her to put the ball in play and make them make a play … if they make the play and get the out, that is how you want to go down, you don’t want to go down striking out.”

Maceda advanced to second on the play, but the Roadrunners eliminated the threat with a fly out to send the game into extra innings.

“In the seventh inning, we were one pitch away …

It would have been easy to quit right there,” said I-35 head coach Tim Bogs. “We knew that if we got good swings, we would be OK.” The Roadrunner offense was shorthanded with its third and fourth batters out of the lineup. Designated player Lily Miller was out of the state with a travel team and third baseman Riley Morris suffered a broken

base running error that resulted in an out.

Carlyn Stanley also allowed an uncharacteristic four walks. She has given up 51 walks this season compared to 287 strikeouts.

“I had to keep it in my mind that we could do it,” Stanley said. “We kept picking each other up and it was a great game.”

Bogs said the goal was to work ahead of batters and go for strikeouts with Stanley’s rise ball, but late in the game, their strategy shifted to mainly fastballs and relying on the Roadrunner defense to make plays.

“They earned it and that is what good teams do,” Boaz said. “They have really good hitters … we were trying to get them to hit pitches that we wanted them to hit to get ground ball and fly ball outs.”

In the third inning, Carlyn Stanley singled with two outs. Allyson Young came on as a courtesy runner and scored on a double by Kate Stanley to put the Roadrunners up 1-0.

Madrid threatened to score with two runners on in the fourth, but during a ground ball, Brittany Richards collided with I-35’s Richardson and was called for interference.

“I would take anything for this team, even if it is a couple knockdowns,” Richardson said.

Bogs said the game was a true test of each player stepping up into her role on the team.

Madrid finishes the year with a record of 17-14.

Area softball IKM-Manning 6, Nodaway Valley 2 IRWIN — Nodaway Valley tied the game 2-2 in the bottom of the seventh inning to force extra innings, but IKM-Manning scored four runs in the 11th to win 6-2 here Friday in a Class 2A Region 8 semifinal.

With the win, IKM-Manning advanced to Monday’s regional final against Treynor in Harlan. Nodaway Valley finished its season with a record of 18-16.

“Great game — one of those that whoever blinks first could lose it,” Nodaway Valley head coach Ray

Stewart said. “Nodaway Valley couldn’t take advantage of the five errors that IKM committed. We had runners on third base a couple of times in the extra innings, but couldn’t push a run across.”

Nodaway Valley had runners on second and third with no outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, trailing 2-1, but was only able to push one run across to tie the game.

Sidney Hohertz and Rachel Hight each drove in a run for the Wolverines, with Jessica Nelson hitting a double. Josie Carter recorded Nodaway Valley’s

only other hit in the game.

Paige McElfish struck out 13 and walked McElfish four in the loss.

IKM-Manning pitcher Peyton Gross struck out 10 and walked one in the win.

Carley Irlmeier hit two doubles for the Wolves, while Andrea Nulle, Shyanne Sporrer, Vanessa Freese, Carley McConnell and Jessica Singsank each drove in one run.

Spieth arrives at St. Andrews, resuming Grand Slam quest

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — There was no escaping Jordan Spieth even before he arrived Monday at St. Andrews to resume his pursuit of the Grand Slam.

Behind the practice range, one British television network talked to any player willing to stop. After a few gratuitous questions about the weather (cool and cloudy) and the Old Course (magnificent shape), the reporter got to the point.

to the Old Course to a quiet reception.

In need of a shave — he’s 21, but yes, he shaves — Spieth and his manager walked through a group of about 100 fans who camped out near the entrance to the player lounge to get his autograph. Spieth signed everything shoved his way, turned and tossing the last item to a delighted young British boy.

The jet lag apparently wasn’t an issue Monday. Spieth planned to hit balls and play nine holes if he felt up to it. He wound up going 18 holes, and the fans who hung around into the evening were in for a rare treat — Spieth playing, with Woods right behind him. Woods used to tee off before breakfast, but waited until afternoon when most of the drizzling weather cleared out.

They chatted briefly on the 16th green, and Spieth had some fun on the Road Hole at No. 17. He hit three shots out of the famous bunker, all of them onto the green. Then he

headed toward the stone wall behind the road and asked a few fans still left, “Can you play it off the wall?”

“I didn’t come here to play boring golf,” Spieth said.

He tried it four times, and didn’t reach the green with any of them.

What makes Spieth different from other players in pursuit of the Grand Slam — or even Rory McIlroy, who won the last two majors a year ago, is that he does not overpower golf courses.

He just scores. And he wins. And that’s what golf is all about, anyway.

“He beats you with better golf,” Geoff Ogilvy said. “He doesn’t beat you because he hits it further. Tiger’s intimidation was that he always did something amazing. Jordan — don’t get me wrong, his body of work is amazing — but he doesn’t beat you with a crazy par, or a crazy chip-in from the back of the 14th at Muirfield (Village). He just beats you because he’s better.”

RACING Update

One hot night at Adams County Speedway

By TREVOR MAEDER Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING — It looked as if Mother Nature was going to pick up another win on Saturday night as a Friday night rain put Saturday’s action in jeopardy.

The weather cleared up on Saturday morning and ACS officials, fair board members, and mudhogs worked relentlessly to get the track and infield into a condition deemed fit for racing. After all the waiting, there was racing at the fast half mile on a hot July Saturday night.

First win Josh Sink started on the front row of Saturday night’s Stalker Chevrolet B-Mod feature and he never looked back to collect his first win in that class at ACS in an exciting victory. Sink started beside Dusti Carlisle and quickly jumped out to a large lead.

Championship contender Ryan Jenkins suffered early race woes when a tie rod issue caused him to spin out twice in the first few laps, forcing him to retire from the race. Sink quickly built up another large lead on the field, but another late

race caution stacked things back up, allowing contenders Jerod Weston and Bryce Allen to give Sink a run for the win.

Weston relentlessly battled Sink, his friend, in the final laps. They would be side by side as they came down the front stretch with Sink just barely edging out Weston at the line for the win. Bryce Allen finished in third, Dusti Carlisle fourth, and Kody Havens fifth.

Second win Joe Zadina has not been at Adams County Speedway every Saturday in his Northland Oil Pro-stocks, but when he is he has his eyes on a win. In the beginning, race point leader Brad Derry quickly jumped out to the lead and looked like he might be on his way to his second win of the 2015 season.

Championship contender Kevin Sharp got involved in an early race caution with Zadina gathering the field together. Smokin’ Joe rebounded and drove his way through the field to pass Derry for the lead. Zadina pulled away from the field as the race stayed green allowing him to collect his second feature win of 2015.

Derry finished second, Greg Miller third, Sharp fourth, and Glen Hoyt fifth.

Zeitner holds on Corey Zeitner has only been at Adams County Speedway four times this year, but has still picked up three wins in The Coors Light Silver Bullet Late Models this season. Zeitner made an early race move to take the lead from Mike Leal and held off a charge from point leader Paul Glendenning.

Zeitner never surrendered the lead to Glendenning and was able to distance himself enough to pick up his third win at ACS this season. Glendenning added on his points lead with a second place finish, Randy Foote third, John Hampel fourth, and Justin Bell fifth. Championship contender Sterling Perkins retired from the race early with steering problems that would relegate him to a ninth place finish.

Back to back “The Candy Man” Jeff Wiggins picked up his third Poet Biorefining Modified feature win of the season in an exciting finish. Brian Foote started on the pole and seemed destined to

ACS POINT STANDINGS July 11, 2015

collect his first win of 2015.

Foote pulled away from the field while Wiggins and Jesse Dennis surged their way through the pack desperately waiting for a Brian Foote bobble.

Foote came up on lap traffic late in the race allowing the door to open for both Wiggins and Dennis to contend for the win. As Foote battled with the lap car of Buzz Wilson on the final lap Wiggins maneuvered his way around Foote and was able to hold him off for the win, with Foote second, Clint Homan third, Dennis fourth, TJ Patterson fifth.

Ramsey wins “Cool Hand” Luke Ramsey was able to overcome a couple of weeks of misfortune and hold off last week’s feature winner Matt McAtee for a feature win en route to his third feature win of the 2015 season, throwing himself back into the thick of the championship hunt. Ramsey started in the second row, jumped the gun on the initial restart and prompted race officials to do over the restart.

Ramsey once again got another great start and took the lead from pole sitter Jerry Richards. Ramsey gave

kind of nasty,” Jensen said.

“Murray has power in the lineup,” Alberts said.

“We knew we had to keep them off balance. That was our key. Madison’s changeup was working well, and that really helps. Murray has a very nice young team.

They’ll be back.”

Lynnville-Sully (35-3) will face ninth-ranked River Valley (26-7) at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at Mittera Field at Harlan Rogers Sports Complex.

Senior farewell Three seniors leaving the program are injured catcher McKenzie Case, left fielder Chellsea Jones and third baseman Deena Snyder.

Jones, who led the Bluegrass Conference in RBI, will play at Iowa Central Community College in Fort

Dodge next year. Snyder, who set the Murray batting average record of .488 last year and made only six errors at third base this year for another school mark, will play at Southwestern.

“Three terrific seniors.

They did a heck of a job for us,” Jensen said. “McKenzie broke her leg up there at Exira and that was a tough break. I know she wanted to be there for us tonight in a game like this.”

Jensen will be inducted into the Iowa Softball Coaches Association Hall of Fame during the association’s all-star games July 27 in Waukee. The ceremony is scheduled at approximately 7 p.m.

kept producing more runs and more runs, so I had more room to breathe.”

Defensive gem Saydel tried to produce one more rally in its final atbat, loading the bases with one out thanks to a pair of walks and Alexis Carney reaching on an error.

Bakley kept the ball on the infield, saving a run from scoring, but her throw got away from Andrew at third base.

Hofbauer then hit a short fly ball into center field that looked like it would score at least one run.

But eighth-grade center fielder Linskens made a diving catch, coming in on the play, to save a run and put the Lady Indians one out away from their third straight trip to state.

“I’ve been working on those in practice a lot, so when I saw it, I thought I might have to dive for this one,” Linskens said. “And when I got closer to it, I knew I would have to lay out. I just had the confidence in myself. Linskens I caught it and my teammates had my back the whole way.”

“We were trying to get kids to be comfortable with diving and know what ball you can and know what ball you can’t,” Diehl said. “She did it a couple of times at practice and that’s the first time she’s done it in a game.

For an eighth-grader to step up and make that play right there, they could have got a lot of momentum going right there.”

Redman induced a grounder to Bakley at shortstop, who stepped on second base for the force out to end the game.

“The first two years it was kind of a big deal,” Bakley said about going to state. “But now it’s just like it’s Clarke softball, it’s something we Bakley do. We’re there all the time.”

The Lady Indians, now 2017 for the season, open the Class 3A state tournament against top-ranked Solon (39-3), 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 21 on Mittera Field at the Harlan Rogers Sports Complex in Fort Dodge.

Solon advanced with a 5-1 win over PCM Monday, earning the school’s fifth-straight state tournament appearance.

“We’re the team when you open the book for the state tournament media guide,
