Volunteers from the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints help dig out vehicles in front of the house of resident Michelle Olson that was inundated with rocks and debris as she returned to her home on Monday, Aug. 4, 2014, one day after water and debris swept through Mount Baldy, Calif.

Residents take stock after flash floods roar through San Bernardino Mountains Unusual weather LOS ANGELES (MCT) — Flash floods, wilting heat, lightning on the beach. It’s monsoon season in a place that’s not supposed have one.

Changes in ocean temperature thousands of miles away have delivered Arizona-style summer weather to Southern California, driving up humidity and causing sporadic destruction.

Warm equatorial water in the Pacific, from mainland Mexico to Peru, normally pumps monsoonal air up the Sea of Cortez into the Southwest, with mountains blocking it from the coastal plains of Southern California.

But this year the ocean temperatures are higher than normal, climatologists say, producing a more powerful “tropical wave” that made it all the way to the coast.

A week after lightning strikes killed one person at Venice Beach, tropical conditions sent flash floods roaring through the San Bernardino Mountains Sunday afternoon, causing the death of a motorist near

10,068-foot Mount Baldy.

The victim was identified Monday as Joo Hwan Lee, 48, of El Segundo, Calif., who was near the Mount Baldy trailhead in his Prius when it was pushed into a swollen creek.

Mount Baldy resident Marc Burns, 56, said he stepped outside his home late Sunday afternoon as punctured propane tanks hissed and boulders the size of cars rolled downstream in a creek that had been dry for years.

On the opposite side of the creek he saw a car, lodged between a porch and a tree in the streambed, with water gushing over it and a boulder jammed in the window. Its

hazard lights were blinking. He got two friends to cross the bridge with him and inspect the car.

One of them looked into the Prius from as close as he could get to it in the raging water. It was filled with mud, but he couldn’t see anyone. So they left.

On Monday morning, as the storm moved north, Burns said residents took stock.

His home fared well. He had seen the news and asked a neighbor, “So who was it that died yesterday?”

“It was a hiker trapped in a white

be on the office door to remind any veterans seeking aid of the temporary closure.

O’Daniels is hopeful they will be able to refill the position by Sept. 1. Typically the office is open 20 hours a week.

“I loved that job,” Reha said.

“I am very passionate about working with the veterans.

There is a lot of stuff out there the vets are not aware of ... seeing them get the smile on their face or know there are programs that can help them is very rewarding.”

The new director will have one year to complete certification through the National Veterans Association and any state requirements that are not already satisfied when he or she is hired.

Union County is searching for a new veteran affairs director because a knee injury forced the current director to resign after two months on the job.

“It is tearing me apart to have to leave,” said former Veterans Affairs Director Blaize Reha.

“It is pretty depressing because it is something I really enjoyed doing.”

Reha’s resignation letter was regretfully and unanimously accepted by the Union County Board of Supervisors Monday.

VFW Post 1797 Commander Gary O’Daniels said the reason for the resignation was because of Reha’s surgery Aug. 18 and long-term recovery from a reaggravated knee injury. The surgery will replace a bone in Reha’s knee.

“Due to me being down for so long, there would be no one there to cover the office,” Reha said. “If I am out for six months (recovering from surgery), the office can’t be closed that long.”

Reha is an Army veteran and served in Iraq. He also worked at the Army Reserve Center in Creston. He replaced Kevin Scadden as veteran affairs director in April.

Office hours O’Daniels is currently working from 10 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday while applications are being accepted for a replacement.

“I’ve been there every day answer- O’Daniels ing the phone and answering questions from

veterans that come in by giving as much information as I can,” O’Daniels said. “We will continue that process.”

However, the office will be closed starting Thursday through Aug. 17 because of O’Daniels’ previously scheduled vacation.

A message will be recorded for all phone calls and a sign will

University of Iowa dethroned as top party school UI came in at No. 2 on the Princeton Review’s list of top party schools ■

The University of Iowa “has been dethroned,” as one student put it, and officials say that’s a good thing.

The Princeton Review issued its 2015 edition of the “Best 379 Colleges” on Monday, and UI came in at No. 2 on the publication’s list of top party schools. Last year, UI was named the nation’s top party school.

It was bumped from the top spot this year by Syracuse University, a private university in New York. Iowa’s No. 2 ranking keeps it in the top five for the fourth consecutive year — it ranked No. 1 on the 2014 list, No. 2 on the 2013 list, and No. 4 on the 2012 list.

The university in recent years has launched programs and initiatives aimed at decreasing high-risk and underage drinking on campus and in the nearby downtown district.

Following Monday’s release of the new rankings, UI President Sally Mason issued a statement pointing to those harm-reduction efforts.

“High-risk drinking poses a risk to the health and safety of college students, and it jeopardizes their academic success,” Mason said in the written statement. “This is a problem at colleges and universities across the country.

Here at Iowa, we take this issue seriously, and we have been working hard to address it.”

Students, faculty and staff in 2009 developed a plan for reducing high-risk drinking based on research, Mason said.

“And it’s starting to make an impact,” she said.

One-third of UI students report having had zero drinks during the previous month, Mason reported, and students who do drink are drinking less per occasion. Over the last five years, she said, binge drinking has dropped 23 percent and the instances of frequent drinking — defined as 10 days in one month — have dropped 31 percent, Mason said.

Still, she said, “I know that there is more work to be done.”

The Princeton Review guide ranks colleges and universities in 62 categories related to things like academics, campus life, quality of life, and extracurricular involvement.

This year’s lists were based on surveys of more than 130,000 students — or an average of 343 students per school.

The surveys are conducted online all year, and a sizable number were completed in the 2013-14 academic year, according to the Princeton Review.

Rounding out this year’s top five party schools are University of CaliforniaSanta Barbara at No. 3, West Virginia University at No. 4, and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign at No. 5.

After the lists were released Monday, social media exploded with commentary on UI’s dip in the party school rankings.

“A sad day as the University of Iowa loses its crown as the top party school,” one person who goes by “BarstoolTrent wrote on Twitter.

“Thank God University of Iowa is not the top-ranked party school anymore,” another person wrote. “Sick of hearing about it.”

Prius at the trailhead to Mount Baldy,” came the reply.

His heart sank. How had they not seen him?

“I feel guilty that we didn’t try harder,” he said, resting on his veranda overlooking the creek, now barely more than a trickle.

Around Mount Baldy, population 1,200, residents couldn’t believe the storm’s fury.

Michelle Olson, 51, recalled staring out the window of a flooded basement Sunday afternoon muttering, “Oh my God, how bad can this get?”

A few minutes later, the walls started popping and cracking as a debris flow wrenched at the house’s foundation.

The walls started to give way and mud and rocks poured through her home.

She ran outside and jumped on the cab of her pickup.

In her 23 years here, she had never seen anything like it.

“God, turn off the spigot or I’ll turn into an atheist!” she yelled. “And by the way, save my cats.”

Olson’s home survived, as did her three cats and her faith in God. Volunteer shovel brigades fanned out Monday across the center of town to assist property owners in the task of getting vehicle out of knee-high muck, broken branches and boulders. The floors of dozens of cabins were covered in sediment.

“It’s a big mess up on this hill, and most of it is in the middle of our little nest,” Mount Baldy Fire Department Chief William Stead said, adding that “10 to 15 homes” were seriously damaged and six of them were red-tagged.

Fire and rescue authorities grumbled about a local controversy that has delayed construction of a new cellphone tower in Mount Baldy. The project has run into opposition from residents who fear it would invite more development and ruin the rustic ambience of their mountain hamlet.

One county official, who didn’t want to give his name because of the heated feelings on the subject, said, “We could have used that tower yesterday.”

Steve Sachs, a resident of 28 years and spokesman for a local group called “Keep Mount Baldy Wild,” said risks come with the territory. “We live with certain dangers,” he said, pulling rocks and debris off his car. “But we are willing to live with those risks because it’s one of the only nearly pristine places left in Southern California.”

The freak weather — the same type of system that hurled lightning bolts on Venice Beach and Catalina Island the weekend before — covered much of the

Lindsey Foggett helps pick up Doug Roath’s belongings on Monday, Aug. 4, 2014, in Forest Falls, Calif. Sunday’s storm sent heavy boulders, mud, rushing water and mountain debris into Roath’s yard, carrying all of his yard belongings into the creek below.

region.

In San Diego County, beaches cleared as thunder rumbled and a hard south wind whipped up. Tinder-dry foothills got a needed shower. And places that missed out on rain were instead treated to swampy heat where 75 degrees felt like 90.

In Highland, at the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains, mud blasted through Jaime Rodriguez’s backyard fence, seemingly out of nowhere. Nine pit bull puppies were swept away.

He spent all night and Monday shoveling 2 feet of mud from the inside of his home.

But the mountains suffered the worst.

The extra moisture created what National Weather Service forecaster Philip Gonsalves said is known as an “orographic flow.” The air from the clouds to the ground was saturated with moisture, and as it reached the mountains, it was pushed together like a sponge being squeezed.

Nearly 60 miles east of Mount Baldy, hundreds of residents of the canyon community of Forest Falls were stranded as the water set off flows of mud and boulders. On Monday, crews dug out the last of four walls of debris — one that reached 10-feet high — that blocked Valley of the Falls Drive, the only access route to the town.

“It’s like somebody threw a huge mud ball on the town and it’s just sitting

there,” said San Bernardino County firefighter Ryan Beckers. “It’s one road in, one road out.”

Six homes in Forest Falls sustained moderate to severe damage, and two dogs were killed. Doug Roath, 48, heard a roar above his house after a half hour of rain. He evacuated for higher ground, and ushered a family of nearby hikers with him. From above they watched the rocky slurry crash into his home.

“It had us surrounded. These people had two little kids with them and asked if they were going to die,” he said. “My doghouse with my dogs in it was just spinning in a whirlpool.”

Roath managed to rescue the dogs when the flood eased. He spent Monday sifting through the sediment picking up belongings. Community members helped him dig out, and town residents have offered him financial help and housing.

“The story’s really not about flash floods or the damage to my house,” Roath said. “It’s really about how people have come together. That’s always been the way it is here.”

OPINION A Mississippi love affair

GREENVILLE, Miss. — The skinny teenager holds his telephone in one hand and uses the other to hitch up low-riding jeans.

“I want to tell you right,” he insists. I had asked directions. We are only blocks from my intended location, he knows the place, but an opportunity to strut out a phone’s high-tech features should not be wasted.

Several minutes later, he gives up on coordinates and says, “Go straight to that traffic light, turn right, it’s past the convenience store on your left.”

It’s a restaurant I should have been able to find without an intelligent phone or a nice, accommodating kid. But I get lost easily here these days. As Lucinda Williams sings: “Faces look familiar, but they don’t have names.

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

Towns I used to live in have been rearranged.”

There is plywood across too many windows, too many streets have a poverty pallor that wasn’t here when I lived in Greenville for one year, 1980-81. Businesses I once frequented have vanished.

I look it up later and read that between 2000 and 2010, 16 Delta counties lost anywhere from 10 percent to 38 percent of their population. That follows the national pattern of rural-tourban migration. But the Delta,

a legendary farming region, adds to that subtraction with an increasingly efficient agricultural economy. Farming now is highly mechanized, which means fewer laborers are needed.

That might be good news, except there are no replacement jobs. Not to speak of. According to The Economist, nearby Issaquena County has just 1,386 people, 40 percent living below the poverty line. Its 10 private, non-farm businesses employ a total of 99.

And yet, those grim statistics noted, my not-so-familiar and down-at-the-heels Greenville still is as appealing in ways as it was to me when I first laid eyes on its legendary levee 34 years ago. The town has a romantic allure that you’d never find in some more

prosperous, picture pretty place like, say, Fairhope, Alabama, or Hillsboro, North Carolina. Those towns are, for me, a little too easy to love.

Would that it were as easy to renew love affairs with people as with places. How nice to rekindle a spark when routine and reality wear love to a nub. The Delta always makes me remember how much I love Mississippi.

I haven’t spent a lot of time in the Delta recently. I made the Clarksdale blues festival several years, savoring the home crowd and hands-down the most legitimate of the hundreds of blues gatherings that have spread nationally now from shore to shore.

I haven’t forgotten, though. I still remember a night barge ride on Lake Ferguson, the oxbow

that leans into town like good conversationalists at a dinner table after dessert. I can taste the Doe’s Eat Place tamales that I bought in a coffee can and ate in the park. I wonder if the Flowing Fountain still percolates on Saturday night.

Most of all, I remember well the people -- the kid on the street, the barmaid in the blues club, the landlady who played “Lady of Spain” late at night on her organ. *** To find out more about Rheta Grimsley Johnson and her books, visit www.rhetagrimsleyjohnsonbooks.com.

India’s Animal Control put birth control pills in bananas in trees HOLLYWOOD — Happy Tuesday, everybody, and God Bless America.

President Obama hosts the first African Leaders Summit at the White House Wednesday with leaders of fifty African nations in attendance. There’s great anticipation over tonight’s banquet.

The guest who brings President Obama’s original birth certificate gets a special prize.

Michael Jackson’s Neverland mansion in Santa Barbara was put on sale for thirty million dollars on Friday. He was a very powerful symbol in society. Michael Jackson was a black performer that white people loved and later on in life a white performer that black people loved.

Neverland Ranch was put on sale Friday by the financial firm that bought the note on the Santa Barbara mansion before Michael Jackson died. The neighbors want it sold before the federal government buys it and fills it with unaccompanied alien children. It’d be like old times.

President Obama vowed to act alone on illegal immigration if Congress refuses to pass a reform bill. For hundreds of miles the U.S. border is guarded by video cameras and electronic sensors. So Congress spent two billion dollars to give us the same security they have at The Gap. The White House announced Wednesday the U.S. economy grew at an astounding pace of four

percent in the second quarter. You can tell the recession’s over and we’re back to good times. Instead of shooting animals for food, Sarah Palin is back to shooting them for fun again.

India’s Animal Control put birth control pills in bananas in trees to keep female monkeys from getting pregnant in Delhi. Great idea. It’s good for fruit farmers whose crops are saved from monkey overpopulation and for female monkeys who want to concentrate on their careers.

Congress sued President Obama Wednesday for changing the Obamacare law without the House voting to approve the changes. It still has website problems. Last night when I tried to sign up for health care on the Obamacare website, I wound up watching porn for forty-five minutes.

Barack Obama said Friday the U.S. is doing all it can to keep Ebola from spreading to the U.S. Then he announced fifty African delegations are coming to Washington D.C. today. Whoever it is Obama’s about to poison, he’s showing Putin how to look innocent as a lamb while doing it.

Currently the U.S. Congress cannot work together to do what they were hired (elected) to do — legisiate, budget and care for our country. Yet, over and over I hear candidates say the same thing, “When I am elected I will...” when in reality ONE person in Congress is limited in what they will finally accomplish. The only way Congress (along with the executive branch) will be able to actually DO SOMETHING is if they collaborate (favored word in business and academia today), cooperate, compromise and work TOGETHER. So ... candidates, of any party,

very clear what he meant. You can’t make it anything else.

As I said earlier, we have too many lawyers in Washington, D.C. I do not know their percent, but any percent over 5 percent is too high. The people we elect to the Senate and to the House should be in balance with the population that they represent. You mentioned the Koch brothers. One might suspect you have no original ideas nor know the people you try to degrade. It must come from someone higher up. Your party calls them talking points.

of Iowa can give you an answer.

Yes, in my opinion Rep. Braley did insult or demean Sen. Grassley. You did not answer the question.

If the Republicans take control of the Senate in the upcoming election, Sen. Chuck Grassley could be in a position of being the chair of a powerful committee. Bruce Braley did say he was a farmer. It was in the manner that he said it.

Bruce Braley personalized Chuck Grassley by being a farmer, thus he would be unworthy of being the chair of that committee. It was

stop telling me what YOU (alone) are going to do and tell me HOW you are going to work TOGETHER with the rest of your co-workers and be productive in regards to the health of the United States.

I believe looking at our current Congress (which is close to going into the history books as the least productive) should be a wake up call to voters: Does this candidate (again, any party) really understand the work (collaboration/ cooperation/compromise) of their office? Are they being realistic in what they can do? Whose best interests do they have in mind, the U.S., their party’s, their financial supporters, or their own?

Last: I am tired of out of state interests sticking their nose into

my elections (aren’t you?) and my state. Follow the money is my rule — start paying attention to who is sponsoring advertisements, individuals and PACs support, etc.

Just doing that will help you to understand that maybe the candidate who says they have “your best interests” or “Iowa values” (sorry, I come from Nebraska and most things folks value in Iowa are valued in Nebraska, too) really is being funding/supported/promoted by outside interests. Just re-electing someone because you recognize their name or electing someone just because they say they’ll change things is not enough today.

Do your job as a citizen of the U.S. by becoming knowledgeable about candidates and voting.

ENTERTAINMENT Two shocking developments Dear Heloise: Last year, our house was HIT BY LIGHTNING. Our satellite TV technician said the strike “fried” our TV. He then notated it on an electronic receipt, which I signed, with a promise from him that I would be emailed a copy for insurance purposes.

Despite numerous calls to various phone numbers and even a letter to the company’s president, I was unable to get ANY type of visible, printable receipt that I ever had had an appointment, and no technician’s assessment that lightning took out our TV (and their equipment). I repeatedly was told it is the “policy” of this satellite TV company not to give anything to the customer in writing at the time of service or by email or fax!

I no longer will do business with a company that cannot or will not provide a written receipt at the time of service. I went back to cable TV. — J.C. in Florida Oh, no!

Some hotels are using radiofrequency chips. The chips can be attached to a robe and even linens to keep track of inventory. — Heloise P.S.: Yes, it’s OK to take the small soaps, shampoos, hand lotion, etc. But NOT the towels!

SMALL HANDS Dear Heloise: It’s easy to forget how small children’s hands and mouths are, compared with those of an adult.

After watching my son struggle while eating a sandwich, I realized the importance of cutting things down to a more manageable size for him.

My son won’t touch the crust on a sandwich, but he needs to hold the sandwich by the crust because it is easier. If I cut the sandwich into fourths, diagonally, each side has a crust, and he eats more

My favorite is when I am training a flower to grow straight. I have a stick in the ground, place the plastic tab around the flower and attach gently to the stick or a string attached to the stick.

These plastic tabs also can be used for holding a crochet stitch or any type of needlework. — Irene in California NO WASTE Dear Heloise: My hint is to put cornstarch or baby powder into a sock.

Make sure you know where your credit cards are, because something unpredictable could happen with debt, taxes or shared property.

feeling this way). Avoid major purchases and important decisions. Just tread water and stay behind the scenes.

Brett Favre’s No. 4 will be the sixth jersey number retired by the Green Bay Packers.

Favre

National Digest

Called up DENVER — Touted prospect Javier Baez will join the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday in Colorado and could make his major league debut in the threegame series against the Rockies.

The 21-year-old Baez got off to a slow start this year in the minors, but has been playing well of late. The middle infielder, who is known for his tremendous bat speed, hit .300 with 12 homers and 34 RBIs in his last 32 games for Triple-A Iowa.

Baez will have his contract purchased from the minors before the series opener against Colorado.

There was no word Monday on a corresponding roster move.

Dalton signs CINCINNATI — Andy Dalton is relieved. So are the Cincinnati Bengals.

Everyone one was all smiles around Bengals camp on Monday when the team made Dalton one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league.

Dalton signed a sixyear extension, but the financial terms were not released. According to multiple reports, the deal is worth up to $115 million.

First-team reps BEREA, Ohio — Johnny Manziel took a planned trip one slot up the depth chart. There’s no telling how long No. 2 will stay No. 1.

The rookie quarterback took snaps with Cleveland’s starters for the first time in practice at training camp on Monday, moving ahead of Brian Hoyer for at least one day.

Coach Mike Pettine said Manziel’s promotion was simply the next step in the club’s evaluation of the two quarterbacks in the second full week of their competition for the starting job.

“It’s just part of our plan,” Pettine said. “We said we were going to allow the quarterbacks to compete, at some point you’ve got to mix up the supporting cast a little bit.

It’s all part of it.”

Manziel’s promotion — planned or not - caused quite a stir at Browns camp as another large crowd lined the fields behind team headquarters to get a close look at Hoyer vs. Johnny Football.

Woods uncertain LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Joe LaCava walked nearly every blade of grass on the 18th green at Valhalla Golf Club, jotting notes in his yardage book after stepping off the distances from every edge of the green to every possible pin position. It was just like any other Monday at a major.

The caddie just didn’t know whether any of this information would be useful in the PGA Championship. LaCava was awaiting word on whether his boss - Tiger Woods would be healthy enough to play the final major of the year.

Lenox’s Lange, Gordon; NV’s Jameson named all-state

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

Three area players were named to the Class 1A all-state baseball teams, as announced by the Iowa Newspaper Association today.

Lenox junior Caleb Lange and senior Dustin Gordon, along with Nodaway Valley senior Trevor Jameson each earned all-state honors.

Lange was named to the second team as a pitcher, while Gordon was named to the third team as a catcher. Jameson earned third-honors as an infielder.

Lenox battery Lenox co-head coach Kurt Stoaks said having two all-staters was a nice reward for his team’s 22-6 season that ended in a 2-1 extra innings loss to Underwood in the substate finals.

“They’re both very deserving of it,” Stoaks said. “They’ve worked hard. It’s nice to see the kids get some recognition for what they’ve done.”

Lange excelled both on the mound and at the plate this season, ranking among the state’s leaders both offensively and in pitching.

The junior Lange southpaw finished second in Class 1A in innings pitched, hurling 82 2/3 innings with an earned run average of 1.02.

Lange finished the season with a record of 9-4, but two of those losses came to state tournament teams in Martensdale-St. Marys and Underwood, while another came to Pleasantville, which lost 2-1 to Twin Cedars on a walkoff home run in the district final.

“He was really solid for us on the mound,” Stoaks said. “It makes things a lot easier when you’ve got a pretty reliable pitcher out there

every night. You could rely on him to throw strikes and do what you need him to do.

“He had all the tough games.

His record really isn’t indicative of what he could do. He had all the teams that were state tournament caliber.”

The movement on Lange’s pitches, along with the strong defense played behind him played into his success on the mound.

“A little deceiving to other teams,” Stoaks said. “His ball has got a little movement to it, the way he throws it left-handed. He’s hard to hit and most of the time, we play pretty good defense behind him.”

Lange also ranked in the top 10 in Class 1A with 44 runs batted in, while hitting at a .340 clip for the Tigers.

His battery mate, Gordon earned third team honors after having a strong season offensively from the catcher position.

Stoaks said it will be difficult to replace the leadership Gordon brought to this year’s team.

“Having the whole pitching staff back is great, but losing a catcher is going to be a hard spot to fill.

He’s caught for me all three years now, and just having a solid guy back there stopping everything and who knows what you want out of your pitchers, as far as calling pitches, and keeps everybody in order. He’s really going to be missed that way.”

It will be difficult to replace Gordon’s bat in the lineup, as well.

Gordon finished third in Class 1A this year with an onbase percentage Gordon of .690, while hitting at a .462 clip.

Creston’s Luther on all-state third team

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@ crestonnews.com

Creston baseball coach Steve Birchard has his first all-state player.

The six-year Panther head coach said senior outfielder Trevor Luther reached that lofty status through meticulous work habits and a passion for the game.

“He’s worked very hard to become a good player,” Creston coach Steve Birchard said. “He bought into what other guys ahead of him were doing to be successful. He’d get there early and start working on the tee before he’d even think about seeing any live pitching. Defensively, he has the tools to be very good at the next level, too.”

Today, Luther is one of five Hawkeye 10 Conference players honored as all-staters by the Iowa Newspaper Association.

Luther, who batted .429 as a senior after hitting .396 last year, is an outfielder on the INA’s third team in Class 3A. Denison-Schleswig shortstop Sean Houston and Harlan sophomore pitcher Brett Croghan

are also on the third unit.

Harlan senior outfielder Nate Gettys was named to the second team. The conference’s lone firstteamer is Glenwood first baseman Corey Bertini, who batted .533 while leading Class 3A with 14 home runs along with 56 runs batted in.

In Class 4A, Lewis Central catcher Austin Simmons was named to the third team at a utility spot. He batted .466 for the Titans this season.

In Class 2A, Council Bluffs St. Albert had two selections in infielder Shea Patterson on the second team, and outfielder Jon Meyerring on the third squad.

Although Birchard has had a player, Seth Pals, play in the Iowa Baseball Coaches Association AllStar Series, he has not had an allstater since succeeding Bill Krejci as Panther head coach in 2009.

Luther was also named to the all-district first team with the most votes of any outfielder, and selected on the Hawkeye 10 all-conference first unit.

Pierzynski, Lackey on other side as former Red Sox teammates arrive

By DAVID WILHELM

Belleville News-Democrat

ST. LOUIS — In the last 10 days, catcher A.J. Pierzynski and pitcher John Lackey have been cast into the heat of a pennant race.

Neither is complaining.

In separate transactions, Pierzynski and Lackey moved from the Boston Red Sox, residing in last place in the American League East, to the St. Louis Cardinals, who are one game behind first-place Milwaukee in the

National League Central.

Already, they have paid dividends. Pierzynski drove in the tying run in the Cardinals’ 3-2 victory over the Brewers on Sunday, the same day Lackey won his debut start with the Cardinals as he worked seven strong innings.

A clubhouse that was reserved and dispassionate has received a shot of attitude from the fiery Pierzynski, signed as a free agent July 26, and Lackey, acquired for right fielder/first baseman

Allen Craig and pitcher Joe Kelly.

“I’m just happy to be able to play and contribute on some kind of level,” said Pierzynski, 37. “It doesn’t matter what the situation is, but it’s just nice to be in a pennant race and have the opportunity to contribute --and go back to having fun again.

“It wasn’t very fun (in Boston). Baseball had bePlease see CARDS, page 10A

“He was getting hit or a walk, and then he was hitting the ball,” Stoaks said.

“He’s just an all-around good offensive threat for us.”

Gordon walked 25 times and was hit by pitch 23 times, which ranked second in the state in all classes.

“He was very disciplined at the plate and he’s just a very patient hitter,” Stoaks said. “It was nice to have him there. You could always count on Dustin to do anything you wanted him to. Most of the time you could just let him do what he had to do, because he’d either get hit or get on somehow.”

Stoaks said he was glad to see Gordon earn some recognition after a solid career.

“Throughout his whole career in all sports, he’s kind of been a quiet leader,” Stoaks said. “He was a quiet, behind-the-scenes worker. He’s really started to come around here his senior year. This is the best year he’s had. Kind of nice to see him get rewarded like that.”

Strong bat Jameson, who was a four-year starter at Nodaway Valley under his father Dan Jameson, earned third-team honors in the

infield after having a strong season at the plate.

The Nodaway Valley senior ranked second in Class 1A in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage.

Jameson hit .567 with an on-base percentage of .701 and a slugging percentage of .983. He tied for Jameson the Pride of Iowa Conference lead with four home runs and drove in 28 runs.

“I think one of the biggest things is he’s a pretty disciplined hitter,” coach Jameson said. “He doesn’t chase too many bad balls, made the pitcher come over the plate. When they did, he took advantage of it.”

Coach Jameson also noted how he could count on his son in the field to be a team leader.

RACING Update

Adams Co. Speedway Hall of Fame grows

By BURTON HEATON Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING — Four new members were inducted into the Adams County Speedway Hall of Fame Saturday: Driver Larry Fudge, track contributor Bill Hayter, fan Marvin Lockwood, and track stalwart Ray Houck.

Family members from each honoree were on hand to accept the award is this second year of the Hall’s existence.

On track it was Jesse Dennis with win number nine and Jon Plowman right behind him picking up his eighth trophy of the year.

Jason O’Brien opened up a slim seven-point margin over Chris Spieker by garnering his fourth win of the year while Kurt Hansen and Clay Mercer also made trips to Miller Lite Victory Lane on a hot August night. And Southwest Valley High School senior Buck Schafroth captured the Chat Mobility hobby stock King of the Hill.

Hobby Stocks We all knew it was just a matter of time before Walnut, Iowa’s Kurt Hansen took his blue No. 75 Chat

Mobility hobby stock to Miller Lite victory lane, and a hot August night set the stage as he moved from outside row four to pass Glenwood’s Tom Myers for the lead with five laps left in the feature. The top of the track was the fastest way around ACS on this particular evening and Hansen had it mastered.

Following Hansen was Myers finishing in second, Clarinda’s Andy Davison third, newcomer Chad LeGere from the east side of Des Moines in fourth, and Dusty Van Horn, Atlantic, in fifth. Point leader Jeremy Purdy finished sixth, giving up six of his 32 point lead over Davison Less than six-tenths of a second separated the top three finishers in a very close finish.

B-mods With his eyes firmly set on the ACS track championship and the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Division 4 national title, winning is the Jon Plowman’s goal every time he straps into his race car. This week it was a stubborn, and very fast Darrin Hardisty who made Plowman work for the win.

Hardisty moved to the lead on the first lap of the feature race and stayed there for 11 of the 15 laps. On a lap 12 restart Cody Werner motored from third to lead the lap, but Plowman managed to finally take the lead for the last three laps of the thriller. Behind Plowman at the checkers was Werner, Hardisty, Dave Schafroth and Blain Petersen.

The win extended Plowman’s track point lead to 79 points and should leave him with a healthy lead in the national point race.

Pro-stocks Last week Corning’s Clay Mercer battled mechanical problems and completed only six laps before retiring to the infield. This week was a change of fortune as Mercer lead all but the first lap in the feature event. But don’t be misled to think that a race without a pass for the lead was boring.

Veteran drivers Brad Derry and Greg Miller both visited Mercer’s side during the race, with two wide entries into the corners a regular event. Less than half a second separated the three cars at the finish, with last week’s winner, Joe Zadina

Buck Schafroth close behind in fourth and Tony Hardisty fifth.

Brad Derry managed to nibble just two points off of Greg Miller’s point lead as they battle for the track championship. With just five weeks left only 17 points separate the two at the top of the pro-stock standings.

Modifieds Thirteen. This week it was 13.

For many the only question when the modifieds take to the track for their eighteen lap feature is “How many laps till Jesse leads?”

With nine wins in 13 starts Jesse Dennis is in the midst of one of the most domi-

nating seasons any driver has had at Adams County Speedway.

Jeff Wiggins led the field for the first 12 laps as Jesse Dennis worked his way from starting ninth, but he watched the lead slip away as Dennis’ black and orange number 70 moved to the lead with five laps to go. Nearly three seconds separated the two at the checkers with Russell Stewart finishing third, Todd Van Eaton fourth, and Jeff James in fifth.

Essex driver Brian Foote, previously second in points behind Dennis, sat the night out with a hand injury that prevented him from driving.

Foote’s absence let Todd Van Eaton and Jeff James move by him in the point race as only two points separate those two.

Late models Sixteen late models took the green flag for their 25lap battle as the evening’s last feature race. Jason O’Brien and Chris Spieker came into the race tied for the point lead with O’Brien starting eighth and Spieker ninth. By lap five O’Brien was in the lead and one lap later Spieker moved to sec-

For the second week in a row those two drivers gave the fans in the grandstands their money’s worth as the Massena driver tried to wrest the lead away from the Atlantic hot-shoe. Coming out of turn two on the white flag lap Spieker drifted too high, dropping him off onto the dry back-side. He came back onto the track midway down the back stretch, but not until Omaha’s Justin Zeitner had claimed second.

At the checkers it was O’Brien, Zeitner, Spieker, Paul Glendenning, and Josh Krug. On a side note the 16-car field included two father-son duos, Mike and Colton Leal and Tom and Sterling Perkins, and one grandfather-grandson duo in Fred Miller and Daulton Maassen.

King of Hill Just a few weeks from starting his senior year in high-school, Corning’s Buck Schafroth wears the 2014 Hobby Stock King of the Hill crown by besting Jeremy Purdy, Kurt Hansen, and Andy Davison in their two-lap showdowns. This week the B-Mods will battle to crown their king at ACS.

come sort of a job. But since I’ve come here, it’s really become fun and I’m grateful for the opportunity.”

Pierzynski, batting .273 (6-for-22) with two RBIs, is buying time for the Cardinals as they wait for All- Pierzynski Star catcher Yadier Molina to recover from the torn ligament in his right thumb. The earliest Molina is expected to return to the lineup is the last week of August or the first week of September.

Pierzynski will reacquaint himself with his former Red Sox teammates as Boston (49-62) visits the Cardinals (59-51) for a three-game series Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

It’s a rematch of the 2013 World Series won by the Red Sox 4-2. Lackey ousted the Cardinals with a Game 6 win at Fenway Park.

Lance Lynn (11-8, 2.98 ERA) will pitch the series opener at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday against Rubby De La Rosa (3-4, 3.64 ERA).

Lynn has dropped his last two starts, but the Cardinals have provided him with a combined one run in those outings.

Lynn, who is 4-3 with a 2.59 ERA in his last seven starts, never has faced the Red Sox in the regular season. He made one start and one relief appearance against Boston in the World Series last year.

De La Rosa, like Lynn, has lost his last two decisions. Both losses were against Toronto when the Red Sox scored just two runs.

At 7:15 p.m. Wednesday, Shelby Miller (8-8, 4.14 ERA) will pitch against close friend Kelly (2-2, 4.37 ERA with the Cardinals).

Miller and Kelly were in each other’s weddings last November.

In the finale at 6:15 p.m.

Thursday, Adam Wainwright (13-6, 2.26 ERA) will pitch against Brandon Workman (1-4, 4.08 ERA).

Wainwright matched a season-high with seven earned runs allowed Friday in a 7-4 loss to Milwaukee.

It will be Wainwright’s first regular-season start against Boston.

Craig has played one game with the Red Sox and is 1-for-4 with a double. He missed the final two games of Boston’s series with the New York Yankees after he injured his left ankle Friday running across first

base.

When healthy, Craig will play left field. His status is day-to-day, but the Red Sox are hopeful he can play Tuesday.

“It will be funny seeing them in a Red Sox uniform,” Miller said of Kelly and Craig. “It will be different seeing them over there. It’ll be fun to watch (Kelly) pitch, but hopefully we’ll win. It’s mixed emotions.”

Pierzynski joked that he might not recognize the Red Sox, considering they also traded pitchers Jon Lester, Andrew Miller and Felix Doubront, outfielder Jonny Gomes and shortstop Stephen Drew in deadline deals Thursday.

“It was a crazy day, for sure, especially over in Boston,” Lackey said. “A bunch of us were leaving town.”

Lackey was stunned how the Red Sox’s season fell apart.

“It was kind of crazy how quick they went the other direction,” he said.

“Hopefully, things work out for some of the guys over there, some of my boys. Lackey Honestly, I’m just moving forward and excited to be here.”

A second World Series ring is what Pierzynski has in mind. He won one in 2005 with the Chicago White Sox. “Absolutely,” he said.

“I’m not chasing the Hall of Fame or anything. I’m not chasing any numbers or anything like that. I don’t believe in that kind of stuff. Like we talked about when I first came here, there were other opportunities, but this seemed like a place where I could play and have a chance to win.

“I talked to (Lackey) when he first came here and that was the first thing he said: ‘Let’s go chase a ring.’ That’s why you all play. Especially when you’re a little older, that’s the main thing.

“It’s going to be fun down the stretch. There’s 50-some games left. It’s going to be fun to see how it plays out. We have a bunch of games in the division coming up, so we have to play well and it will all work itself out.”

PEOPLE/NEWS

Mammograms can find cancer at earlier stages in older women SEATTLE (MCT) — When a mammogram detects breast cancer in a woman age 75 or older, it’s more likely to be early stage disease that can be treated less aggressively, according to a study of thousands of patients in a Seattle cancer registry.

Dr. Henry Kaplan of the Swedish Cancer Institute and Judith Malmgren, an epidemiologist from the University of Washington’s School of Public Health and Community Medicine who has long worked with Kaplan, published the study in the journal Radiology on Tuesday.

“If you do mammograms in the older group, you will find a lot of cancer, the cancers will be early or lower stage, and the patients will therefore need less therapy,” Kaplan summarized.

Mammograms, compared to detection by patients or doctors, typically catch tumors at an earlier stage.

That’s important, because older women often can’t withstand the chemotherapy

treatment used in later-stage cancer, said Malmgren, the study’s lead author.

“For older women, who have fewer treatment options, you really do want to catch it early,” Malmgren said.

The paper adds a bit of fuel to raging debates in the U.S. and other countries over mammography screening — what age to begin and to stop, how often women should be screened, whether the risks of treatment outweigh benefits, and of course, the cost to the health care system overall. A recent paper put the cost of mammography screening in the United States in 2010 at $7.8 billion.

Although older women are at higher risk of breast cancer, with higher death rates from the disease, Malmgren noted, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a panel of independent health experts convened by the federal government, does not recommend mammography screening in this age group,

saying there is insufficient evidence to weigh risks and benefits.

Not only does most breastcancer research not include older women, in some regions of the world — the United Kingdom, for example — women older than 70 are rarely treated for the disease, Kaplan noted.

In the United States, many women 75 and older simply don’t get mammograms, he said.

It’s a calculation that may have made sense when life spans were much shorter, Kaplan said. But now, at age 75, the average woman in the United States can be expected to live 13 years.

“It’s really pretty surprising if you’re healthy at 75 how much longer you’re expected to live. It’s very significant and very different than it was 20 years ago.”

Over the past 15 years, deaths from breast cancer have dropped by 30 percent, Kaplan noted. But it’s not clear whether the drop is a

result of more widespread use of mammograms or better treatments.

As the population ages, the debate over mammograms becomes more critical, Kaplan said. “For all the debate about what’s appropriate for a 40-year-old, there is an analogous debate about what to do with a 70or 80-year-old.”

Early diagnosis for invasive cancer is key, he said. “If they have advanced breast cancer, they do crappy, just like 24-year-olds. And if they have an extensive cancer, you can’t treat them, because they can’t tolerate the treatments as well.”

The American Cancer Society recommends that women continue mammography screening, the paper notes, as long as they have no serious chronic conditions or shortened life expectancy.

What is NIE? NIE Newspaper in Education, is a cooperative effort between schools and newspapers to promote the use of newspapers as an educational resource.

NIE extends their learning in and out of the classroom. From language skills, mathematics and science to local news, community awareness and world affairs. The list is endless on what they can learn from the newspaper.

We need sponsors for this year!

The demand for papers in classrooms is growing.

Please help!

How do you fit in as a sponsor?

What being a NIE Sponsor can bring to the classroom is a copy of the Creston News Advertiser each day to each student, plus a copy for the educator. A teacher’s guide packed with hundreds of innovative, captivating, workable ideas. But more importantly the gift of helping them on their way to become well informed, productive citizens.

Business or clubs, you can help!

Become a corporate sponsor.
