Creston man drowns in Twelve Mile Lake By KYLE WILSON and JAKE WADDINGHAM
CNA editors kwilson@crestonnews.com
The body of a Creston man — who drowned Monday evening at Twelve Mile Lake near Afton — was recovered by divers around 9:30 a.m. this morning. Neither the name or age of the man will be released until the man’s family has been notified. Mark Sedlmayer with the Department of Natural Resources said the body was found by divers on the southwest side of the lake below Sedlmayer about 15 feet of water. “This was a fast recovery,” Sedlmayer said,
“which is great because in these situations it’s all about bringing closure to family. This recovery was a cooperative effort from the divers and several state and local entities.” The man was reported missing 6:15 p.m. Monday when a fellow fisherman found an empty boat on the lake. Dive teams searched the water for the man until sundown Monday. The search continued 7:30 a.m. with assistance from Department of Natural Resources and Midwest Regional Dive team. They found the man’s fishing equimpment and other personal items. The Midwest Regional Dive team consists of the Red Oak and Clarinda fire departments, Cass and Ringgold County dive teams and Adams County emergency management. Sedlmayer said this is the first drowning on any major lake in Union County in 10 years.
Midwest Regional Dive team Ed Rotert of Mount Ayr said the Midwest Regional Dive Association is composed of teams from Red Oak, Clarinda, Mount Ayr, Cass County, Adams County and may be adding a team from the Carter Lake area soon. Each team brings a different component to the dive association, making the group an effective diving unit. Rotert said they also have regional training eight to 10 times a year. All divers are required to attend at least 50 percent of the training.

Cool summer leading to cool fall? Species thought to be gone from Iowa found near Muscatine OTTUMWA (MCT) — By late July, the average daytime high temperature starts to drop. What is normally the hottest part of the year is over. Averages are still in the mid-80s, and it certainly wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to see days in even the upper 90s. But the chances of that happening drop by the day. July has seen only five days so far in which the high temperature was at or above normal. With only a couple days Hillaker left, it’s safe to say the month is going to come in below normal. “It’s certainly much cooler than usual,” said State Climatologist Harry Hillaker. What’s surprising here, according to Hillaker, is the persistence of the cool air. June wasn’t a shock, he said. It was rainy and daytime cloud cover helps hold down temperatures. July has had above normal rain
as well, but by a much smaller margin than June. Longer periods of sun have been punctuated by a day or two of heavy rains. In fact, more than 85 percent of this month’s rain has come on only three days. The cooler-than-usual summer is going to continue. Hillaker said the next two weeks look like they’ll stay cool. The Climate Prediction Center extends that forecast across the next three months, through October. While people have gotten very good at figuring out accurate forecasts for a week, or even two, three-month forecasts still stretch forecasters’ abilities. As Hillaker put it, “It’s hard to know in the longer term.” There’s another factor at work. September begins the meteorological fall, a transitional season. Those are tough times to make accurate predictions because the region is shifting from the summer heat to the winter’s chill. And weather doesn’t always behave the way we expect, even when we think we have good data. Earlier this year there was pretty high confidence

the Pacific Ocean was shifting into an El Niño pattern. Iowa has about twoto-one odds of cool fall temperatures in the fall when El Niño arrives. But it hasn’t happened yet. “We keep trying to get into an El Niño pattern, but we’re not quite there,” Hillaker said. “There’s starting to be some doubt about whether we’re going to get there.” Still, this summer has been a welcome change for much of Iowa. The drought that gripped the state in the past two summers is gone, and cooler temperatures have generally kept down the humidity that can make summer so torturous. Iowa will most likely see a few more hot days; summer’s not over, after all. But the odds of a prolonged heat wave are starting to dwindle. —————— ©2014 the Ottumwa Courier (Ottumwa, Iowa) Visit the Ottumwa Courier (Ottumwa, Iowa) at www.ottumwacourier.com Distributed by MCT Information Services

(MCT) — State fisheries personnel have found three examples of a longear sunfish, a species last documented in Iowa in 1932 and considered extirpated from the state. “It’s exciting. It’s a pretty big deal,” said Adam Thiese, the Department of Natural Resources fisheries technician who found the first one earlier this month at the Fairport Fish Hatchery on the Mississippi River near Muscatine. “For those who work in the fisheries field, both state and nationally, any time an uncommon species can be documented, it’s an exciting discovery,” he said. Thiese said DNR personnel were not certain that the first fish, believed to be a female, was a longear sunfish, and they are awaiting results of fin clip analysis to be sure. However, Thiese said biologists are positive that two Please see FISH, Page 2

FISH: Continued from Page 1
additional fish collected this week at the hatchery are longear sunfish. The latter two fish, with more vivid coloring and markings, are believed to be males. All three fish were found within the hatchery’s rearing ponds, which were inundated this year with Mississippi River floodwaters. Thiese said a longear sunfish has not been documented in Iowa since 1932. “How they got here and where they came from remains to be determined,” said Thiese, who speculates
they may have been washed into the Mississippi from tributaries emptying into Pool 16. “Finding three in a concentrated area in a short time span suggests there may be a remnant population in the area,” he said. An elongated gill flap, which accounts for their name, is the main characteristic distinguishing the species from other sunfish, Thiese said. Longears, remaining common in Missouri and several other states, were probably never abundant in Iowa, he said.

Another loaded handgun was discovered in a bag containing a significant amount of methamphetamine and items indicating the sale of methamphetamine, such as packaging materials, scales and other items of drug paraphernalia. Mullen admitted to dealing methamphetamine. Mullen was in possession of several loaded weapons, including an AK-47 rifle with several hundred rounds of ammunition and a Remington shotgun that were loaded. Mullen had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, but because of the possession of illegal narcotics his permit was void. Mullen was being held on $50,000 bond. —————— Afton Police Nathan Charles Lens, 32, Larry Deandre Ratliff, 23, 310 N.

OPINION Bushels of love for peck
MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala. — Imagine if your life were highlighted in a short, moving ceremony and condensed to its essence. What would they say about you? Edwin “Peck” Rowell of Loachapoka, Ala., recently found out. As Peck waited for the Alabama Music Hall of Fame to unveil an “Achiever’s Display” of his lifetime of work, curator George Lair summed it up nicely: “Anything involving music, seems like Peck’s been involved.” Peck, 91, sat in a wheelchair, a Pied Piper’s throng of family, friends and musicians around him. A gregarious and funny man not shy with his stories, Peck has been a singer, a songwriter, a band leader, radio disc jockey and, for more than two decades, owned and ran one of the most popular country

dance clubs in the Southeast. “A friend phoned from California and told me he had put my name into something called Google on the computer and found 273 ‘Peck’ Rowells,” the guest of honor joked. Only one of those Pecks was being honored, however, by the prestigious Alabama Hall of Fame that includes in its membership no less than Hank Williams, Nat King Cole and Emmylou Harris. Peck Rowell played and brought good music to the masses.
Steamy Saturday nights on the edge of Lake Martin near the Alabama town of Dadeville, a skating rink with its pecan wood floors would morph into something else. The Blue Creek Dance Hall would light up, crank up and attract like ants to Loachapoka syrup those who loved to hear real country. Beginning in 1959, Peck and his dance band, the Covered Wagon Boys, introduced, each in his turn, Ray Price, Porter Wagoner, Ernest Tubb, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Connie Smith and Charlie Louvin, to name but a few visiting stars. Peck’s “ read like another hall of fame — the country music one. One of the first big names Peck hired to draw a crowd was bluegrass legend Bill Monroe, who agreed to show up for $350. Mon-
roe arrived at Blue Creek with laryngitis, willing to play but unable to sing. Instead, one of Monroe’s guitar players replaced him on lead vocals. The substitute: Del McCoury. As I listened to Peck’s rich ruminations, I remembered the old raspy Jimmy Durante line: “I’ve got a million of ‘em.” I knew him briefly as a good neighbor in the late 1970s, when I lived in Loachapoka. I once took a picture of Peck’s triplet kid goats for the local newspaper. I eagerly read his recent memoir, “A Place I Couldn’t Leave,” remembering my year of bucolic fun in peaceful little Loachapoka. I rented a house just across from the antebellum Rowell home place where Peck grew up as one of nine children.
“I love country music better than anything,” he admitted, an emotional catch in his voice. “It’s been my life.” He began playing “Redwing” on the harmonica at age 7, went on to know stars like Hank Williams and Kitty Wells, kept on entertaining at church functions after a heart attack forced him to give up the club at Blue Creek. Unlike Peck, I left Loachapoka. But I envy a man who knows his heart and his home. *** To find out more about Rheta Grimsley Johnson and her books, visit www.rhetagrimsleyjohnsonbooks.com.

Looking for yearbooks From Dennis Howard
What’s your favorite Union County Fair event?
Gardner, Kan., formerly of Creston
I have a collection called the “Faces and Yearbooks of CHS.” This collection deals with the history of Creston Senior High School and it stu-
dents, between 1912 and 2011. To fully complete this project, I need to scan the CHS yearbooks for 1914, 1919, 1924 and the Arrow Supplement for 1933. If anyone has access to any of these documents, please contact me at dhoward@densue.net.
I am currently in the process of uploading my collection to my website: densue.net. The 1910s and 1960s are now online. The best example of what I am trying to accomplish would be Faces for 1969, the year I graduated. 1969 was also the largest class in the history of CHS.

Last September I was invited to join the library board. At that time, I was not convinced that the move to Lincoln School was the right decision. I have been a school superintendent in a district with old school buildings, and they can be a challenge when considering them for a remodeling project. In order to be fair to the library board’s decision to move the library, I studied the history of the current building and the engineering reports of Lincoln building.

The planned move will offer us the opportunity to expand our space and programming. Partnerships with businesses, community organizations and the school will allow us to support the activities that make Creston a good place to live and raise our families. Improving literacy is very important to the library board and with this planned move, we will have the space that will allow students and families to use the library as a support system to improve literacy. The Creston Area Library and Cultural Center is a place that supports our entire community.
Attacking the library board is wrong From Marcia Fulton
641-782-2141
The current library is not adequate for the needs of this community nor is adding an addition to that building. While the Lincoln building needs significant work to make it the type of facility we can be proud of, it is realistic and doable. We are working hard to raise the necessary funds through local donations and the support of grant programs outside of Creston. I respect the concerns about traffic and parking; however, those things can be addressed by working with the city and the school to be sure children and patrons of the library can all be safe.
You can want the current library to move to the Lincoln school site or desire it to stay at its current site. That is a preference, but to attack the volunteers who serve on the Library Board, the non-paid appointed board members who give countless hours to serve this community, is wrong. I don’t know all the board members, but I know some, and they are kind, caring citizens who give up family time and, at their own expense, visit libraries in the surrounding areas, seeking ideas and talking to those staff members to try to find what would best work in our community. Some of the editorial posts have been really nasty. Maybe that is why folks are reluctant to serve on community boards. The days of libraries being the “check out a book” site is probably minimal. Today’s libraries are wired to incorporate the newest technology, efficient heat and cool-
ing climate, spacious layout and use of space to allow both working noise and quiet zones. The layout is designed to be able to combine the needs and interests of several areas of the community including young children, teens, young adults, computer lab, research area and comfortable lounge areas with newspapers and current magazines for adults. Have you had an opportunity to visit a modern library? If not, check out one of the following: Red Oak, Stanton, Shenandoah or Winterset. When I first visited a Colorado library with my grandsons, I was amazed at what it had to offer. The class for the young child area was glassed off so their little voices were not disturbing as they did a projects class with the staff. My daughterin-law headed one direction to find a book, and I found a nice couch and caught up on current news in the Denver Post. What a lovely experience. As we were leaving, we noticed an art show being held in
one of the rooms with the local artist discussing his work. They had a room for the community to hold meetings and regularly scheduled events and speakers were posted. I am sure that when the new high, middle and elementary schools were being planned, there were many who thought “what is wrong with the old schools.” I have heard that same statement about the additions to the hospital and those involved tax money. I also remember the controversy over the skate park, and I heard that the lowana was impossible to restore. Today it is so nice to drive past any of these, and I am sure realtors talk about these amenities as they sell homes. Change is sometimes hard. But now that we have top of the line schools, hospital complex, the restored hotel and a skate park for the teens, I don’t hear as much “longing for the old buildings.” Let’s give our community a chance to raise the money to get the grants. They just might succeed.

How long does water last? Dear Heloise: We in California store water in the event of a major earthquake. My question is, How long can one STORE WATER before it becomes unpalatable? — Frank P., via email Well, Frank, the general rule is to keep tap water stored for six months, and prepackaged, bottled water for up to a year. The water does not really “go bad,” but it’s better to be safe. Rotate stored water regularly. You want to have enough water to equal 1 gallon per person or pet per day. It is important to store it in proper, food-grade water-storage containers, especially if it is your tap water. Store water away from the sun or heat sources in a cool, dark place — NOT the garage! DON’T store near gasoline, kerosene or other chemicals. — Heloise STRAIGHTEN OUT Dear Heloise: I was getting so frustrated with my garden hose and how kinked it was that I was considering throwing it out. However, while doing some yardwork, I was using the hose off and on. When not in use, the hose was sitting in the sun, filled
Hints from Heloise with water, until I needed it. Imagine my surprise when I discovered my hose was much straighter. Apparently, the heat of the sun on the hose was all that was needed to get the kinks out! I thought others could use this hint. — Sally D. in Florida CLEANING VINEGAR Dear Heloise: When I was shopping for vinegar, there was a gallon called “cleaning vinegar.” It was with the regular vinegar. I was hesitant to buy it because I use vinegar for cooking and cleaning. What can you tell me about this “cleaning vinegar”? Is it safe to buy and cook with? — Bernie L. in Connecticut Cleaning vinegar is not really that new. Regular white vinegar is 5 percent acetic acid, where some of the “cleaning vinegars” are 6 percent acetic acid. So, you are paying for only 1 percent more acidity of the vinegar. What I would do is buy one

of each and compare them to see if it’s worth paying a little more. It is safe to cook with, but remember, it’s a little stronger. You know I love vinegar, and that’s why I wrote my Heloise’s Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More pamphlet to share the many money-saving uses. To order one, please send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/ Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 782795001. Boiling potatoes?

I just clean it with soap and water. — Sophie D., via email STAND UP Dear Heloise: I received a bouquet of flowers, and some of the flowers had clear straws around the stems to hold them up.

NATIONAL DIGEST
Broken back LAS VEGAS — Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin withdrew last week from Team USA training camp for the FIBA World Cup because he was advised by doctors to give a small fracture in his back more time to heal before the start of the next NBA season, sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.com. Griffin is expected to make a full recovery from the injury, which sources say was suffered during the playoffs. However, doctors advised him to sit out international competition this summer for precautionary reasons. Griffin has continued to work out this summer in Los Angeles with teammate DeAndre Jordan and former Laker and Clipper Sasha Vujacic. Both Griffin and Minnesota forward Kevin Love withdrew from the training camp last week, which left Team USA thin in the front court and prompted the late addition of Atlanta’s Paul Millsap to the camp.
WAUKEE — Creston head softball coach Mike McCabe proudly represented Creston High School here Monday evening as one of the coaches for the White All-Star team at the Iowa Girls Coaches Association Senior All-Star Game. McCabe, along with Akron-Westfield head coach Todd Colt, combined to lead the White team to a 1-1 record for the day. It was an enjoyable experience for McCabe. “Well, it was easy!” McCabe said. “They made it look pretty easy. It was a blast. I said I’m going to get to do this one time, and McCabe I couldn’t h a v e asked for a better group of kids. They had a lot of fun with each other and played hard. Very talented kids and the nicest kids, too. A tribute to their coaches and their parents. It was a lot of fun.”

One of the players on McCabe’s White team was Jenna Sandquist of the Pride of Iowa Conference champion Interstate 35 Roadrunners. Sandquist played shortstop and pitched for the Roadrunners, but played third base in the All-Star Game. “Good player,” McCabe said. “Great kid. I commented earlier, might be one of the nicest kids I’ve ever met. Please and thank you, was eager to help with equipment — as were all of them. Just good kids.” McCabe and Colt drafted six shortstops to play on their team, so some ath-

Talks tabled
QUALITY • DEPENDABILITY • SERVICE
ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- In the last few minutes before the Detroit Lions opened training camp Monday, the team eliminated the biggest question it has had all offseason. The Lions announced they will table any contract discussions with defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh until after the 2014 season, the final year of his initial five-year rookie contract. The goal for Detroit is to sign Suh, who will have a cap number of $22.4 million this season, to a long-term contract after the season. Lewand and general manager Martin Mayhew have said in the past it is their intent to keep Suh in Detroit. Suh talked with the media Monday after the Lions’ first practice of the year, but mostly declined any questions about his contract situation other than to confirm he was not the one who suspended the talks.

positions than they were used to. Sandquist filled a void at third base. “Yeah, it was a change. I haven’t played third for about a year, when I played it for travel ball. We had six of our 13 girls were shortstops, so they were just kind of looking for people who had played third before.” McCabe said the transition into different positions for his players went smoothly, with the only major concern being responsibilities on bunt coverage. Despite not getting many opportunities to make plays in the field, Sandquist said she was pleased with how she performed, especially when she got a hit in the first game. “I got a hit off of Paige Lowary, so that kind of made my day,” she said. Lowary, of Dallas Center-Grimes, will continue her playing career next year at University of Missouri. “I kind of just wanted to make contact, and I was pretty excited, because obviously I’ve heard of her and all my teammates had been able to go up and hit against her,” Sandquist said. “So I wanted to have a chance and just see what
it was like for myself.” Sandquist laced a single into right field, right on the foul line. Playing in the final game of her softball career, Sandquist went out a winner as the White team defeated a Blue team that included Clarke’s Libby Bemis, 3-1. “I was really glad when I found out I was going to be on this team, because no matter what happened in tournament play, I Sandquist was still g o i n g to get to have two more games, because I’m not playing college ball,” Sandquist said. “So it was nice that I still had these games to look forward to. When I realized it was the last time I’d put on my school jersey and a softball uniform in general, I cried a little bit.” Bemis, on the other hand, will be continuing her playing career next year at Minnesota State.

Lenox puts three on POI first team Daughton, Arevalo on POI first team By SCOTT VICKER
CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com
After a 22-6 season that ended in a 2-1 loss in the substate finals, Lenox was rewarded with three players being selected to the Pride of Iowa all-conference first team. Junior Caleb Lange was a unanimous choice as a pitcher and was joined by teammates Dustin Gordon and Spencer Brown. Also making the first team was Nodaway Valley senior Trevor Jameson. Lange had a breakout year for the Tigers, going 9-4 on the mound w i t h a 1.02 e a r n e d Lange run average in 82 2/3 innings pitched. He struck out 93 batters and walked just 34. He was also a force at the plate, hitting .340 with 14 doubles, four home runs and a team-high 44 runs batted in. Gordon, the senior catcher for the Tigers, led the team with a .462 batting average and an on Gordon base percentage of .690, which ranked third in Class 1A among players who had at least 60 at bats. Gordon hit five doubles and one triple, while driving in 24 runs. He was 26for-30 in stolen base attempts. Behind the plate, he had a fielding percent-
age of .977, committing just five errors in 218 chances. Brown also made life difficult on opposing hitters, finishing with a record of 6-1 for the season and Brown an ERA of 2.48 in 42 1/3 innings. He struck out 62 batters and walked 45, as opposing batters hit just .104 against him. Offensively, Brown drove in 32 runs. For Nodaway Valley, Jameson hit a team-high .567 with an onbase percentage of .701, w h i c h ranked second in Class 1A Jameson among players who recorded at least 60 at bats. Jameson hit nine doubles, two triples and four home runs, driving in 28 runs. He was 12-for-13 in stolen base attempts. Jameson pitched 17 innings, with an ERA of 3.71, striking out 27 and walking 18. Defensively, he had a fielding percentage of .907 for the season. On the POI second team, Nodaway Valley had three representatives, followed by Mount Ayr with two and Southwest Valley, East Union and Lenox each had one representative. Southwest Valley senior catcher Keegan Longabaugh and Lenox senior first baseman Todd Stoaks were both unanimous se-
lections to the second team. Nodaway Valley was represented on the second team by senior outfielder Baley Shantz, sophomore pitcher Jackson Lamb and junior pitcher Casey Ladd. Representing Mount Ayr were senior infielder Weston Schnoor and senior pitcher Quency Vos. East Union’s representative was junior infielder Cole Campbell.

Mount Ayr’s Daughton and Lenox’s Aurora Arevalo were the only two representatives from the western division of the Pride of Iowa Conference on the all-conference first team. Daughton helped lead Mount Ayr to an improbable run through regional play, making it all the Daughton way to a regional final, where the Raiderettes eventually lost to Wayne. The Mount Ayr senior shortstop hit .358 for the season with two doubles, 11 runs batted in and was a perfect 21-for-21 in stolen base attempts. Arevalo, meanwhile, earned first team honors as a utility player. The Lenox catcher hit .400 for the season with 11 doubles, one triple, five homers and Arevalo
drove in 31 runs. She also stole 15 bases in 18 attempts. Arevalo threw out 32 percent of the runners who attempted to steal a base on her. Unanimous selections to the first team were Shania Austin and Breanna Fortune of Wayne and Carlyn Stanley of Interstate 35. Nodaway Valley, Mount Ayr and Southwest Valley each had two representatives on the second team, while Lenox and East Union were each represented by one player on the second team. Josie Carter represented Nodaway Valley as an infielder, while Paige McElfish earned a second team nod at pitcher. For Southwest Valley, Danica Sunderman earned a second team spot in the outfield, while senior Sydney Pontius was named to a second team utility spot. Sophomore Kirsten Dolecheck picked up an outfield spot on the second team for Mount Ayr, while Tessa Shields was named to the second team as a pitcher. Lenox junior Katie Dukes was named to the second team as an infielder and East Union junior Danielle Riley earned a second team spot at pitcher.

RACING Update
Spieker, O’Brien tied for point lead Chat Mobility hobby stocks Only one caution flag during the race slowed Atlantic’s Dusty Van Horn as he charged from his outside row six starting spot to capture his third win in just seven starts at Corning’s speed oval. For a majority of the race it appeared that Corning youngster Buck Schafroth may have been on his way to his first feature win as he mastered the top groove on a freshly re-graded racing surface and held off hard challenges by Clarinda’s Andy Davison and Glenwood’s Tom Myers. But Buck went just a tad too high in turn four with two laps to go, allowing Van Horn to nose by on the bottom and take the lead. Tom Myers snuck by to finish second with Schafroth third, Davison fourth, and Luke Ramsey fifth. Van Horn and Schafroth each jumped up four points in the standings, to eighth and seventh respectively, while Ramsey was only able to trim two points off of Jeremy Purdy’s lead with six weeks left in the season. Stalker Chevrolet b-mods Racing for the first night
By BURTON HEATON Adams Co. Speedway
CORNING — Chris Spieker came into the July 26 races trailing defending champion Jason O’Brien by just five points, as they battle it out for the 2014 crown. One little slip by O’Brien as he came out of turn four with just one lap to go opened the door for Spieker to slide by for the lead, the win, and the three bonus points he needed to tie things up with just six weeks left in the season. In the other classes it was Dusty Van Horn charging from 12th place to get his third Chat Mobility hobby stock win of the year, while Shawn Kralik held off Jon Plowman to pick up his first trophy this season in his Stalker Chevrolet b-mod. Joe Zadina now leads the Northland Oil pro-stocks in the wins column as he picked up his fourth of the season, but still trails Greg Miller and Brad Derry in the point chase. And in the Poet Biorefining modifieds, Ryan Peckham took full advantage of a pole position start to get win number three, with Jesse Dennis right on his tail.
in over three years without race director Ray Houck on hand due to serious health issues, the top two in points in each class were offered the opportunity to start last in their feature races and win a double purse should they go from last to first. B-mod drivers Jon Plowman and Jerod Weston accepted the Houck challenge and wasted no time moving through the traffic on their way to the front. However Creston’s Shawn Kralik had the fast car of the night and got to the front from his inside row four start and neither Plowman nor Weston mustered the speed to get around Kralik’s machine. Kralik collected his first win of the season as Plowman settled for second, Weston third, and Dusti Carlisle finished fourth with Josh Sink fifth. Kralik joined Carlisle as the only two drivers to capture a bmod win at ACS this season other than Plowman (seven) and Weston (three).

ing’s Joe Zadina as he led all but the first lap of the event. Point leaders Greg Miller and Brad Derry also accepted the Houck Challenge, and Derry was able to move into second place with five laps remaining, but Zadina never let his guard down and held on for the win. Derry settled for second with Tony Hardisty third, Jason Rold fourth, and Greg Miller fifth. Zadina now leads the win column in the pro-stocks with four this year, but he still sits in third place, 25 points behind leader Miller and six points behind second place Derry. Poet Biorefining modifieds Ryan Peckham only has six starts at ACS this season, but with three wins, he has shown himself a force to be reckoned with when he is on hand. Sidelined by mechanical failure on July 12, his low four-week point average garnered him the pole position for the feature and he took full advantage leading flag to flag. Hearts stopped on lap number two when Essex’s Daniel Foote left the south end of the track barrel-roll-
ing into the grass and bringing out red flag conditions, but cheers soon erupted as he climbed from his vehicle and made the long walk back to his pits. The rest of the race went caution free, much to the dismay of Jesse Dennis who had also accepted the Houck Challenge and needed a caution flag to close the gap Peckham had opened up on the field. Dennis finished second, over three seconds behind the leader, with Jeff James, Todd Van Eaton, and Eric Hanna following. Coor Light late models Jason O’Brien and Chris Spieker have made it very apparent that winning a track championship is their season goal, and Spieker the show those two drivers put on this week was one for the books.

laps into the 25 lap race. Prescott’s Justin Cooper, running the top cushion to perfection held them off for 18 laps, but on a restart brought out by Corey Zeitner’s stop along the backstretch, O’Brien dove hard into the bottom of turn one and made it stick to jump from third into the lead. A couple of laps later, Spieker used the same move to go to the front but O’Brien dove low coming out of two and regained the lead just a few seconds later. It appeared O’Brien would go on to tie Spieker with four wins each, but a bobble just inches too high in turn four as they came to the white flag opened the door for Spieker to take the lead and the win. Cooper finished third, followed by John Hampel and Sterling Perkins.

Public notice FINAL NOTICE OF POTENTIAL IMPACT/CONVERSION OF IMPORTANT FARMLAND AND NOTICE OF A FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The USDA Rural Utilities Service has received an application for financial assistance from the Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA). SIRWA plans construct replacement water distribution systems for the cities of Blockton and Bridgewater. There are approximately 112 water connections in Bridgewater and approximately 97 connections in Blockton. This proposal will consist of replacing all of the existing cast iron water main and some existing PVC piping with new PVC water piping. In Bridgewater, approximately 10,400 lineal feet of 6”, 3” and 2” water main will be replaced. In Blockton, approximately 15,700 lineal feet of 6”, 3” and 2” water main will be replaced. New meter pits and service lines will also be installed. A majority of the water main improvements will be directionally bored and will be primarily located in previously disturbed areas, in public right-of-way. As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rural Utilities Service has prepared an Environmental Assessment that evaluated the potential environmental effects, consequences of the proposed project and the effects the proposal may have on historic properties Rural Development has assessed the environmental impacts of this proposal and determined one acre of important farmland near Bridgewater will be converted. The site, located outside city the limits, will be purchased and utilized for the siting of a 50,000 gallon elevated water storage tank that will be 135’ tall. It has been determined that there is no practicable alternative to avoiding this conversion or effect. The Environmental Assessment was published June 17, 18, & 19, 2014 for a 30 day comment period. No comments were received. Upon consideration of the applicant’s proposal, federal and state environmental regulatory and natural resources agencies, and public input, the agency has determined that the proposal will not have a significant effect on the human environment and for which an Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared. In order to avoid or minimize any adverse environmental impacts, the Rural Utilities Service will require the applicant to incorporate the following mitigation measures into the proposed project’s design. The mitigation measures include: X Compliance with conditions contained in the IDNR Construction Permit to be q completed. X Compliance with conditions contained in the Storm Water Pollution Prevention q Plan to be completed. X Demolition of water towers will occur per the requirements in the proposal’s q plans and specifications provided by the project engineer. The applicant will comply with IDNR review / directive from the submitted Notification of Demolition and Renovation Form (DNR 542-1476) X No trees will be removed between the period of April 1 to September 30 to protect q the Indiana and Northern Long-Eared Bats and their habitat. X The Preliminary Notice of Potential Conversion of Important Farmland was q published May 19, 20, & 21, 2014 in the Creston News Advertiser providing a separate 30 day comment period on the conversion of one acre of important farmland near Bridgewater for the siting of a new water tower. All comments received will be considered and evaluated in the environmental review process prior to publishing the final environmental public notice. Copies of the Environmental Assessment can be reviewed or obtained at 511 W. 7th Street, Atlantic, Iowa 50022, (712) 243-2107. For further information, please contact Dee Fischer at (712) 243-2107. A general location map of the proposal is shown below.

In Loving Memory Leon (Lee) Ferree 9/19/47- 7/29/95 No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you no one will ever know. It's been 19 years but seems like today since God called you home taking my love and best friend. You will never be forgotten. Today and every day you are in my heart to stay. Sadly missed until we meet again. Janet Ferree and family
