t’s late and you’re hungry.

Maybe you didn’t have time to go to the store. Or, your child’s ballgame ran longer than it was scheduled. Maybe there’s a new baby in your home and you’re just too tired to pull dinner together.

Whatever the case, Upper Crust Culinary Creations has you covered.

Upper Crust Culinary Creations, 201 W. Adams St., is now offering more than six different frozen meals to go. Each frozen dinner meal, ranging from pesto chicken penne pasta to hamballs to coconut chicken curry, is prepared to serve four to six people for $11 to $15. Union County Recorder Paula White said Upper Crust’s meals are really convenient.

“When we have something going on, we can just throw that in the oven,” White said. “It’s just delicious.”

Cynthia Wolf, co-owner, said offering something healthy and convenient is something important to her because she remembers what it is like to be a busy mom.

“They’d be just getting home from basketball or football and if I didn’t fix something, it would be a pop tart or cereal,” Wolf said.

Upper Crust owners state the reason for offering frozen meals is to take the effort out of dinner without compromising time with

Chicken wild rice is the most popular frozen dinner prepared and sold by Upper Crust Culinary Creations. The dish is described as a creamy casserole with chunks of chicken breast and melded together with green beans, water chestnuts, almonds and rice, which provide a variety of textures and flavors.

family and friends.

Debbie Hulett Angelo said Upper Crust’s frozen meals allowed her more time to spend with her daughter, granddaughter and newborn grandson.

“It (dinner) wasn’t something I had to stress over,” Angelo said. “I could just enjoy the moment.”

Nutrition White said what she liked most about the service is that its local and a healthier style of food.

“They are very conscientious,” White said. “They try really hard to do a variety of meals people will like ... they are convenient and very friendly.”

Most recently, Upper Crust and Crossfit TYL in Creston have teamed up to provide gluten-free dinner options.

“What he (Chris Doster at Crossfit) wants to do is offer clean-eating challenges,” said Upper Crust Co-owner

Frozen meals include: Chicken wild rice, pesto chicken penne pasta, spaghetti beef casserole, lasagna, ham balls, honey-glazed chicken, marinara mac, garlicky chicken, coconut chicken curry, tater tot chicken and chicken Alfredo with spaghetti squash.

Christy Whited.

Based on Doster’s request, Whited and Wolf have designed some dinners to be gluten-free, low-carbohydrate or paleo.

For individuals watching their caloric intake, Wolf said the meals can easily be divided into smaller portions.

“What is nice about this, is, because it is frozen, you can break it apart and cook individual portions,” Wolf said. “We have some elderly people, and that is what they do, because, it can be too much for them.”

Whited said at least three of seven menu choices qualify as “clean.”

Fast-food, fresh

“Our frozen meals are designed to bring families back together at the dinner table with home-cooked goodness,” Wolf said.

Wolf said their goal is to provide “tried and true” family recipes that are convenient, quick, easy and preservative free.

“In a nutshell, it’s fastfood, but, fresh,” Wolf said.

“It’s home-cooked, so, you’re not going to a drive up.”

PF Allen — speaking on behalf of MSM Logistics in Creston — explains just how important high-speed broadband internet is for their global eBay business. Their online business has now shipped items to more than 130 countries worldwide. Creston was honored Tuesday by Iowa Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds and Connect Iowa for being the fifth certified connected community in the state. Allen was one of three guest speakers Tuesday morning.

Lt. Gov. Reynolds recognizes Creston as certified Connected Community DES MOINES — Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, city of Creston and Connect Iowa officials recognized the city of Creston as the fifth community to become a Certified Connected Community in the state and the 21st in the nation Tuesday.

More than 30 residents and community leaders attended the celebration event at the Creston Chamber of Commerce, where results of an assessment and details of the county’s new technology action plan were unveiled.

The event also included Union County unveiling its technology action plan, which will make way for greater technology use across the entire county and pave way for a brighter economic future.

“Gov. Branstad and I launched the ‘Connect Every Iowan’ initiative to increase access, adoption and the use of broadband technology in Iowa,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds.

“I commend Creston and Union County on completing the extensive assessment and planning process in order to be recognized as a ‘Certified Reynolds Connected Community.’ I’m confident that the community will use this designation to increase the robust economic development efforts in Creston and across Union County.”

Connect Iowa’s Connected Community Engagement Program provides a framework that communities can use to

Where Creston ranks

Creston became the fifth community to become a Certified Connected Community in Iowa and the 21st in the nation Tuesday. work toward Branstad’s goal to Connect Every Iowan. In October 2013, he announced that the Connect Every Iowan initiative would leverage the Connected program to support local broadband planning efforts in communities across the state.

“Creston is extremely proud of being recognized as the fifth Certified Connected Community in the state of Iowa.

It is a real testament to our many businesses and broadband providers that Creston has attained this goal,” said Ellen Gerharz, Creston Chamber of Commerce executive director. “It shows that the community is truly invest- Gerharz ed in continuing to improve upon our business environment and economic development, while at the same time continuing to improve upon the quality of life of our citizens. Creston truly is the ‘Hub of Southwest Iowa.’”

The city of Creston and Union County have been working over the past two years with Connect Iowa to assess the local broadband landscape, identify gaps, and establish goals and objectives to increase broadband access, adoption, and use for families, organizations, and busi-

nesses throughout the counties.

The city of Creston was able to meet the point requirements necessary to achieve the Certified Connected Community status, while Union County continues to work toward certification.

“The Connected Community Engagement Program has given us the opportunity to better understand our current broadband capabilities. The rural areas of Union County struggle to get adequate broadband, and this has a significant economic impact for the area,” said Wayne Pantini, Union County Development Association executive director. “The program has helped us to develop a technology action plan to assist us in being proactive in addressing issues and gaps in services. We have benefited by making connections to those in the industry and hope to continue to enhance broadband capabilities for Union County.”

The Connected program is a national model designed by Connect Iowa’s parent organization, Connected Nation, to establish a framework for broadband expansion planning at the community level.

The U.S. Department of Commerce NTIA State Broadband Initiative program funds the Connect Iowa initiative.

Connect Iowa is working to facilitate the access, adoption, and use of technology throughout the state.

Following ATV laws can reduce accidents, experts said (MCT) — Most offroading accidents in Iowa happen when people are breaking the law or not following manufacturers’ safety instructions, state officials said.

“When I see there was an ATV accident, I just wait to hear they were riding double,” said David Downing, coordinator for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ OffHighway Vehicle program.

Off-road vehicle accidents have claimed the lives of six Eastern Iowa children in the past week.

Four Dubuque County 14-year-old boys were killed Saturday when their John Deere Gator off-road vehicle (ORV) was hit by a pickup on a county road.

Nine-year-old twin boys died Monday after their all-terrain vehicle (ATV) toppled into a rural Linn County creek, pinning them underneath.

Investigations continue into these accidents.

Meanwhile, Downing and others who promote safe ATV use said tragedies can be prevented if Iowans follow the law for off-road vehicle use.

The first thing to remember is that ATVs and ORVs are not the same.

Most ATVs are intended for just one person who steers with handlebars and leans for balance. ATVs have a high center of gravity and are prone to rollovers, especially when driven too fast around corners, said Pam Hoogerwerf, community outreach and injury prevention coordinator for patient and family-centered services at the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital.

ORVs or Utility Vehicles (UTVs) are designed to be driven with a steering wheel and can carry up to six people.

“We don’t have nearly as many injuries on UTVs because they have a rollover bar and seat belts,” Hoogerwerf said.

On and off-road The rules for both types of vehicles are the same.

In the majority of Iowa counties, ATVs and ORVs are allowed on public roadways only for agricultural purposes. Riders must have a valid driver’s license, be at least 16 and, if under age 18, must have

a safety certificate.

ATV and ORV riders on public roads for authorized purposes can’t ride before sunrise or after sunset and are restricted to 35 miles per hour.

“A lot of these riders (who are injured) are not experienced ATV riders.

— Pam Hoogerwerf

University of Iowa Children’s Hospital

The Department of Natural Resources has eight off-road vehicle parks, where vehicles must be registered and riders must wear helmets. Children under 12 must have adult supervision, and those 12 to 17 must have a safety certificate.

But on private property, these rules go away.

“A lot of these riders (who are injured) are not experienced ATV riders,” Hoogerwerf said. “They go over to a friend’s house or a relative’s house and just get on without understanding the safety guidelines.”

Of 7,500 Iowa middle school students who heard ATV safety presentations, 85 percent have been on an ATV, either driving it themselves or riding as a passenger, Hoogerwerf said. The presentations were made by the Kohl’s Keeping Kids safe program — a partnership between Kohl’s Department stores and Children’s Hospital.

The biggest reasons for accidents include teens riding machines that are too big and too fast, not wearing a helmet and riding double, she said.

Some Iowa counties and cities allow off-road vehicles on secondary roads. Off-road enthusiasts pushed for a statewide law allowing licensed riders 16

OPINION

A year - or two - in review This month I celebrate my first full year at the Creston News Advertiser – unless you count my year as a part-timer while I was taking classes at Southwestern Community College.

To say time flew by would be an understatement, even though I can recall multiple meetings or late afternoons where time seemed to stand still.

There are so many people to thank for sticking with me through my indecisions, mood swings and growing pains after this past year in the working world.

The newspaper has gone through a lot of changes over the past year.

Stephani Finely retired as the man-

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham associate editor

aging editor and was replaced by Kyle Wilson, allowing me to fill the role as associate editor.

We still catch ourselves throwing out some of Stephani’s infamous catch phrases, especially during this time of year while putting together our five-county fair tab.

I worked with Kyle since his return to the CNA and our friendship has grown along with our passion

of putting together a quality newspaper. He has been instrumental in the front page redesign and adding new favorites like “Quick news” and “Throwback Thursday.”

He is constantly thinking ahead about other ways to make the newspaper something the community can rely on and be proud of. I think I spend a lot of time in the office, but there is rarely a time that Kyle isn’t right beside me working or we just missed each other.

Also, celebrating an anniversary this month is a man who hardly needs an introduction. Larry Peterson is starting his 29th year with the CNA. Larry’s sports reporting is one

of the first things that sparked my interest in journalism and his leadership during my time as an intern solidified my decision to study it as my major in college.

I’ve learned more through his instructions and by just watching him work than any textbook could have ever explained.

And I don’t mean just the technical aspect of writing a story, taking a photo and placing it on the page.

All my mentors – Stephani, Kyle and Larry – trusted and encouraged me to do better, showed me where to push my limits and taught me what battles are worth digging my heels in and holding my ground.

I cherish emails from readers

who enjoy a story because I know tomorrow there will probably be three calls or emails of a more negative viewpoint. Either way, if people are paying attention, it usually means I did my job right or misspelled their name.

I try to find outlets to keep myself from getting burned out. A good, hard run is my best remedy for most of my rough days.

And finally, I am looking forward to the next chapter of my time back home. It will help when my apartment construction is finished soon so it can start feeling more like home and I can stop spending so much time searching through boxes I can’t unpack yet.

Donald Trump called for a halt of all flights

HOLLYWOOD—Happy Wednesday, everybody, and God Bless America.

President Obama tried to calm public fears about the Texas border arrivals at Friday’s press briefing. He assured Americans that most of the illegal kids will be deported. That afternoon, five hundred were deported to Maryland and a thousand were deported to Chicago.

Toledo’s Mayor Mike Collins took a big swig of Toledo’s water to show that Lake Erie drinking water is safe. For days it was poisoned by fertilizer and by waste runoff. The mayor either showed that the drinking water’s safe or he showed that the West has a leader Putin cannot kill.

Donald Trump called for a halt of all flights to the U.S. from Ebola-infected countries in Africa . His warning fell upon deaf ears just like the script says. Americans are ignoring the news about of the Ebola virus like we’re the lead character at the beginning of a zombie movie.

Chicago cops are on the lookout for two older white men who held up a drug store on the North Side. The bandits made off with the pharmacy’s entire supply of Viagra. Police issued a warning saying the two suspects might be packing guns or they may be really glad to see you.

CIA Director John Brennan apologized for the CIA’s spying on U.S. lawmakers in the House and Senate. He agreed spying on Congress was stupid. If the CIA wants to know all about the sex

lives of middle-aged white people, the CBS prime-time line-up airs nightly for anyone to see.

The Big Bang Theory inked its stars to million-dollar-an-episode contracts Friday. It’s the numberone hit for CBS in prime time and for WB in syndication. The Big Bang Theory also fulfills a Department of Education order requiring the state of Kansas to provide science classes.

President Obama turned fiftyfour years old in the White House Monday but he decided not to have any birthday party. At least, that’s what they told Joe Biden.

To celebrate his birthday, the president forged a Kenyan birth certificate to get himself out of this miserable job.

Israel withdrew tanks from Gaza Monday after three bad weeks.

It never ends. We live in a world where Muslims don’t recognize Israel, Jews don’t recognize Jesus, Protestants don’t recognize the pope, and where Southern Baptists don’t recognize each other in the liquor store.

The White House infuriated Israel and Israel’s supporters in the U.S. Sunday by lecturing Israel on the collateral civilian casualties in shutting down the Hamas tunnels in Gaza. The little lambs. Hamas denied using human shields, they just claim it was living rocket insulation.

Letters to the editor

Let’s take our minds off of the library From Richard Brammer Lenox

Many residents in the Creston area get very ticked off when the library is mentioned. I think I can give them a topic that will take their minds off of the library.

I have read from the good book “Before the end of the world and

the coming of the Lord you will be told to deny God as your Savior, if not you shall be executed.” Are you people reading and watching the news. In parts of the world this is happening now.

My knees are not in very good shape, but I am going to spend a lot more time on them. Maybe if you people that are so bitter would do

the same, you could learn to love thy neighbor and quit acting like children.

All of us will have to make a change in the future (maybe today or tomorrow). We will also have two choices, will it be heaven or will it be hell.

Makes this bitterness (library) seem very minor. Don’t you think?

My thoughts on Social Security From Ken Mallas Corning

Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-part letter to the editor written by Ken Mallas.

I will discuss one area with you – Social Security. Your comments lead me to believe you have little knowledge of Social Security.

Some of my comments.

1. Actually, there is no money in this account or in the bank. It has all been spent by our government. What we have is a piece of paper not worth the paper it is written on. There is no money to back it up. The government owes $2.7 trillion to Social Security, and we allowed it to happen. We are to blame. Our government is not only very smart but they are taking advantage of us by the law they have written. Would they ever do it to themselves? Absolutely not.

Should a private company do this to their employees, they would be in prison. However, our govern-

ment knows exactly what they are doing. We are not very smart when we allow it to happen? Our government does not earn any money. Where are they going to get back our money that they have spent?

Because of this, we, the people are left holding an empty bag.

To refill this empty bag, each of us must now repay both the principal and the interest earned on the principal. How dumb is that. We’re not very smart. We allow them to collect our Social Security twice and the interest once. When an individual comes up with a plan where we now owned our retirement funds in a separate account which actually earned interest and the government couldn’t touch one penny of it, I would applaud that idea along with that person.

I am sorry to say, neither Bruce Braley, nor any other present elected officials in Washington, D.C., is willing to protect Social

Security under the present laws.

They are not being truthful with us. We need a balanced budget and a private savings account. It is our savings they are spending. We worked for it. Please tell me when Bruce Braley has ever asked for a balanced budget or privatizing Social Security.

1. Has Bruce Braley ever voted for a balanced budget?

2. Has Bruce Braley ever brought forth legislation allowing Social Security to be removed from the general fund so it can be saved and collect its owns interest?

3. Has Bruce Braley ever have brought forth legislation for a lock box where it would earn its owns interest from another source other than the person who put it there in the first place?

4. Social Security is doomed to fail unless we make these changes along with other changes. Please don’t tell me Bruce Braley is trying to save Society Security.

Four canning tips for great jams and jellies For the best results for your canning creations, follow these four simple tips for canning success: 1. Pick ’em right.

When picking berries, keep in mind these fruits have high water content and are very fragile. So, use smaller containers when picking them so the berries do not get crushed under their own weight.

2. Rinse, don’t soak.

Due to their fragile nature, the berries should be lightly “rinsed” to remove surface dirt. Do not allow them to sit in water for very long because they tend to take on more water and will become mushy.

3. Firm and ripe When selecting berries for jellied products, ripe berries are best, but not overripe ones. Choose those that have good flavor and are still firm to the touch. For strawberries, look for the smaller, juicier berries instead of larger types that are available today.

4. Mix flavors.

While many people prefer their jams to be one flavor, mixing two or more different types of berries together produces great jams with good flavor. Try a mix consisting of blackberry and red raspberry, or strawberry with red raspberry. Another great combination includes pureed berries and peaches mixed together to make jam. Red raspberry peach jam is always a huge hit.

For canning or preservation questions, call the Mrs. Wages Customer Care Center at 1-800-647-8170, Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.– 5:00 p.m. CST. For additional canning recipes and how-to information, visit www.mrswages.com FAMILY FEATURES

what’s cookin’ in Bars Chocolate chip cookie dough and cheesecake - WOW!! - and if you love lemon you will like these “brownies”. Smakelijk eten!

ChoColate Chip Cookie Dough CheeseCake Bars Crust: 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar 5 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted 1/4 tsp. salt Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: 5 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature

1 tsp. vanilla extract 3/4 cup flour 2/3 cup chocolate chips

Cheesecake Filling: 10 oz. cream cheese, room temperature 1/4 cup sugar 1 large egg, room temperature 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 325°. Line an 8” square baking pan with parchment paper or foil allowing a little overhang and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Mix the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs until thoroughly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 6 minutes. Remove pan to a cooling rack. Leave your oven on while the crust is cooling and you prepare the chocolate chip cookie dough. With an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt and vanilla until smooth and thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Mix in the flour on low speed until just incorporated. Mix in the chocolate chips.

Set aside. (This mixture is going to be dry. You’re going to crumble it on top of the cheesecake layer.)

With an electric mixer cream together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla on low speed just until incorporated. Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust. Use your hands to form “clumps” of the cookie dough, smoosh it together and flatten it out. Distribute the cookie dough onto the top of the cheesecake batter in teaspoon-sized clumps.

Be sure to use all of the dough.

Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top feels dry and firm (the cookie dough) and the entire pan looks set if given a gentle shake.

Move bars to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Chill in refrigerator overnight or for at least a couple hours. Lift the bars out by the overhang and cut into squares for serving.

Cakey lemon Bar “Brownies” 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened Brownies: 2 large eggs 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 1/2 tsp. lemon zest 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 Tbsp. lemon juice 1/4 tsp. salt

Lemon Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 Tbsp. lemon juice 2 tsp. lemon zest

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Zest and juice two to three small lemons; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixture, beat the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined. Pour into the flour mixture and beat at medium speed about two minutes until smooth and creamy. Pour into baking dish and bake for 25 minutes, or until just starting to turn golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before glazing.

When brownies are cooled completely, make the glaze by whisking together all three ingredients. Spread over the brownies with a rubber spatula, cut into bars, and serve! what’scookin’ cookin’ininkyp’s kyp’skitchen kitchensponsored sponsoredby: by: what’s

Microwave your ice cream?

Dear Heloise: Every day I read your column in the Texarkana Gazette. I have a hint about scooping ice cream: I put the half-gallon container in the microwave UPSIDE DOWN for 20 seconds. It causes the ice cream to thaw just enough to scoop it. — Bobbie M. in Texas Hello to my friends at the newspaper! When I last visited your city, I was doing my one-woman show at the Perot Theatre, and what fun we had! To see some of the folks onstage sharing their hints was a treat! — Heloise STUCK CAKE Dear Heloise: When making a recipe that requires the use of a fluted cake pan, what is the secret to getting the cake out of the pan?

I’ve tried following the recipe that says to grease and flour the pan. I’ve even tried spraying cooking oil, but the result seems the same. — Janet A., via email This can be frustrating!

Use a pastry brush to coat the pan with solid vegetable shortening. The key is to make sure you get the shortening into every crack and crevice. Then sprinkle with flour, being sure to get into

Hints from Heloise the indents, and sort of shake out the loose flour.

You really need to let the cake cool completely, so place the pan somewhere that has good air circulation, especially the bottom. When it’s cool, hit the bottom of the pan on your counter a few times to loosen the cake.

Horoscope Thursday, Aug. 7, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Others notice you today.

Perhaps this is because you are fundraising for a worthy cause or sharing what you can with someone in need. This is a noble impulse.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) If you are in negotiations with others today, make sure you stand up for your own best interests. Don’t give away the farm or fall for a sob story.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You will be happy to help someone on the job today, because it feels right. You might even lead the way for others to join your efforts to benefit someone.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Look for ways to express your creativity today. You will enjoy admiring the work of others.

However, it will be hard to rev your engine in competitive sports.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) At home, there is increased activity and chaos this month. Today in particular, you feel genuinely sympathetic to a family member or a loved one.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Although you will talk directly to others today, you will be understanding and patient.

This is an excellent combination for important communication.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If spending money today, you will be tempted by glorious luxury! If you can afford it, fine. But don’t go into debt for something you don’t need.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You will feel gratified if you can help others today, and ironically, you will. Expect to be in a position to extend someone a favor or help someone in need.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Secret activities that are behind the scenes have your attention today. (This could include clandestine love affairs.) But you also might want to spy on someone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You will use your energy to encourage others to work for a charitable organization today.

You see a need to be filled, and you know how to get others to act with you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Although your ambition is aroused, you are not ruthless

today. Far from it. Instead, you will use your influence with people in authority to help someone.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened, give yourself a chance to enjoy parks, galleries, museums and beautiful places. If you can help someone from another culture, you will.

YOU BORN TODAY You have wonderful social skills, and you enjoy the company of others. Many of you are attract-

ed to secret events or undercover work. You are clever and funny, especially if you can discover hidden information about others. This is a year of growth and testing. You might build or construct something that is a poor. Do not make major changes — not yet.

The Numbers Game

16-0

Shutout loss by the White Sox Tuesday, the worst shutout loss at U.S. Cellular Field since the first game there (1991).

National Digest

New commish Bud Selig’s successor as commissioner of baseball is expected to be decided next week, sources confirmed, when MLB owners assemble in Baltimore to vote on three finalists for the job.

The three final candidates, according to one source familiar with the vote, are MLB’s chief operating officer, Rob Manfred, MLB executive vice president for business Tim Brosnan and Boston Red Sox chairman Tom Werner. The identity of the three finalists was first reported by USA Today.

Owners will vote on those candidates Aug. 14, the final day of the quarterly owners meetings. A candidate needs 23 of the 30 votes to get elected. Manfred has long been viewed as the favorite to succeed Selig.

However, a dissenting group, which sources say has been led byChicago White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf and Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno, has nominated Werner for the job and has been working behind the scenes to rally the eight votes needed to block Manfred’s election.

If no candidate is elected on the first ballot, owners would have to hold a second vote -- and possibly more — until a candidate is finally elected, in a process some people in the sport have jokingly likened to the way the College of Cardinals elects a pope.

Strange play CLEVELAND — Johnny Cueto threw his fourth complete game of the season, and the Cincinnati Reds, aided by a bizarre play in which a Cleveland runner was fooled by a second ball on the field, defeated the Indians 9-2 on Tuesday night.

The Indians, trying to mount a comeback in the seventh, had a rally squelched after an errant warm-up pitch from Cincinnati’s bullpen came on the field.

Yan Gomes’ double cut the lead to 6-2 and moved David Murphy to third as a ball thrown by reliever Jumbo Diaz rolled behind second base. Murphy mistakenly thought that ball was live and edged off third. He was tagged out after the ball that was in play was thrown to Santiago.

Indians manager Terry Francona spoke briefly with the umpires, but the call stood.

Cincinnati broke a 10game losing streak at Progressive Field.

Back to elite Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski continued to rave about Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose on Tuesday, saying the superstar played his way back to an “elite” level during the U.S. training camp last week in Las Vegas.

Rose, who has played just 10 games in the past two seasons because of a torn ACL in his left knee and a torn meniscus in his right knee, opened eyes throughout the past week with his play.

PERFECT CHAMPION

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

The veteran knocked off the upstart kid.

That was the situation in a shoot-off for Iowa state singles trapshooting champion as Steve Maltzahn of Creston edged Justin O’Neal of Ames in the state finals July 26 in Cedar Falls.

After both hit all 200 targets from 16 yards, Maltzahn hit all 25 targets in the first shoot-off. O’Neal missed the second of his 25 shots. Despite being nearperfect, he ended up one shot behind Maltzahn, who became Creston’s second state singles champion.

The late Bob Hudek of Creston was state champion in 2008.

Maltzahn, 67, has been a registered trapshooter for 32 years and was state veterans division champion last year. He was state runner-up in 1998.

For O’Neal, in his 20s, this was his first time in this setting with several hundred spectators watching.

He had recently moved to Ames from Florida.

“Staying calm and repeating how it was originally accomplished on every shot is very important,” Maltzahn said. “You get in a zone. You don’t want to stop and think about it.”

Just three weeks ago, Maltzahn pulled off the trifecta by winning the handicap, doubles and singles title at the Southwest Iowa Zone Championships in Harlan. But topping a field of 700 of the state’s best shooters was the peak of his career to date.

“I just feel great that I have won my first state singles title,” Maltzahn said.

“It has been a dream of mine to win it. There is an old saying in trapshooting disciplines — singles for honor, handicap for money and doubles for fun.”

Besides the honor of being the state’s best shooter, Maltzahn won a hand-made leather range bag, similar to the one for winning the Southwest Zone, as well as cash prize of $300. His entry fee was $80.

O’Neal gave credit to Maltzahn for his steady shooting throughout the day, and realized how he’s

slipped up ... just once.

“I missed the second shot because I was thinking about the target and I waited too long before I shot and missed,” O’Neal told the Waterloo/Cedar Falls Courier. “It was fun, and I will be back.”

“It was a great experience for both of us,” Maltzahn said. “It had to be thrilling for him to be a young guy and get that experience.”

Conditions were favorable for shooting early in the day at the ISTA grounds north of Cedar Falls, when Maltzahn broke his first 200 targets, with sunshine and a nice southerly wind. But, by afternoon it changed to cloud cover and a north wind that raised the targets, adding difficulty to hitting the targets.

Finally, at 5 p.m., the competition was down to O’Neal and Maltzahn, who had tied for first last year with 199 breaks before losing out in a shoot-out, and still claiming the veterans (65 and over) crown.

As the champion, Maltzahn is qualified for the Champion of Champions

event at the Grand American Trapshoot later this month in Sparta, Ill., but he is unable to attend with a family conflict.

Still, he relishes the honor of being Creston’s second state champion with

Hudek, his longtime friend and comrade on the trapshooting circuit.

“Bob and I were friends and always competed together,” Maltzahn said.

“He was a tough competitor.”

Jay’s clutch hit gives Cardinals 3-2 win over Red Sox

By JOE TREZZA

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Jon Jay’s go-ahead single off Junichi Tazawa scored A.J. Pierzynski to gave the Cardinals a 3-2 win in the opener of a rematch series between last year’s league champions, allowing the Cardinals to keep pace with first-place Milwaukee.

The Brewers remain one game ahead in the NL Central division after topping

San Francisco, 4-3. The Pirates, on the other hand, dropped a 6-2 contest to Miami and fell to 2.5 back.

Jay’s only hit of the night fell in front of Yeonis Cespedes in left field and made a winner of Pat Neshek, who lowered his major-league leading reliever ERA to 0.78 with a flawless eighth.

It was Jay’s first game back from a wrist injury that made him miss five games.

thal (35th save) and Lance Lynn combined to allow just five hits.

Lynn was removed for a pinch hitter after seven innings, over which he allowed four hits, two runs (one earned) and struck out four. He left down 2-1, but was let off the hook quickly when Kolten Wong singled home Shane Robinson, who Please see CARDS, page 10A

MINNEAPOLIS—Kennys Vargas took early batting practice with his teammates Tuesday, then headed out to the outfield to take his turn catching fly balls.

One problem, though.

He wasn’t wearing a glove.

“We’re going to already have a talk,” Gardenhire said with a laugh. “He’s carrying a bat out there in the outfield instead of a glove. I didn’t say anything because I want him to enjoy himself. ... But that does tell you about what he likes to do most.”

Come to think of it, the Twins might want to let Var-

gas carry that bat with him anywhere he likes, because he seems to know how to use it. The huge rookie used it to smash a Jesse Hahn pitch into the right-field stands on Tuesday, delivering three runs and a 3-1 victory over the San Diego Padres.

Vargas’ first career home run ended up in a fan’s glove 388 feet from home plate, and sparked a long and loud ovation for the gregarious Puerto Rican slugger. It also marked the return of a recent rarity at Target Field: the three-run homer. Not since Oswaldo Arcia connected against the Brewers on June 4 had the Twins scored three runs on a single swing of the bat in their home park.

It was a nice moment for a rookie, and a heartening one for the Twins, who are trying to find ways to make their final two months relevant. Seeing whether the 275-pound switch-hitter can contribute at the major league level, after skipping Class AAA, is one way to do it.

So is helping Phil Hughes to keep gaining confidence he can be a rotation cornerstone, and the righthander took another step in that direction on Tuesday by holding the Padres to one run and seven hits over seven inning, his best start in a month. Hughes, who had Please see TWINS, page 10A

CARDS: Continued from page 9A

had pinch hit for Lynn, with the tying run in the bottom of the seventh.

The Red Sox scored one off Lynn in the fourth and one in the seventh. The first run came without a hit after Daniel Nava reached second on a Matt Carpenter throwing error and scored on a sacrifice fly.

The second came when Lynn booted a double play comebacker with the bases loaded off the bat of Will Middlebrooks, allowing Yoenis Cespedes to score.

The Cardinals countered both runs quickly.

They tied the game at 1 in the fifth with consecutive hits from Matt Holliday and

Matt Adams. After Holliday doubled sharply to right center, Adams’ single off Red Sox starter Rubby De la Rosa scored the left fielder.

Holliday was later ejected for arguing a third strike call.

Cespedes collected three hits, including a bloop triple down the right field line in the second inning.

Carpenter and Pierzynski both tallied multi-hit nights for the Cardinals.

Neshek improved to 5-0.

TWINS: Continued from page 9A

lost three straight decisions to drop his record to 10-8, caught San Diego’s leadoff hitter looking at strike three in each of the first four innings, and he finished his night with a season-high nine strikeouts.

Hughes’ only blemish: a sinker that didn’t sink to Yonder Alonso in the fifth inning, a pitch that ended up in the upper deck stands in rightcenter field. But it was a solo shot, the first one Hughes has allowed since July 19, and merely set up Vargas’ heroics later.

Not that the Twins were convinced that any heroics were coming, not against another impressive rookie. Padres righthander Jesse Hahn, who had posted a 7-2 record and 2.01 ERA this season, held the Twins to two hits through the first five innings, and there was no reason to think he couldn’t make the 1-0 lead that Alonso provided hold up. He hasn’t allowed a

home run since his debut on June 3, after all, a span of 55 consecutive innings.

But after Brian Dozier clubbed a one-out double, Trevor Plouffe walked, and Josh Willingham struck out, Vargas seemed to almost jump at a 1-0 pitch from Hahn.

It cleared the granite overhang in right field practically before he could get out of the batter’s box, making the rookie just the eighth Twin ever to hit his first career home run in his first home game.

The Twins complete the brief homestand Wednesday afternoon against the Padres, with San Diego native Kevin Correia on the mound, then head to the West Coast for a four-game series with Oakland.

Leadership team named for regional health system Nebraska are integrating to create single, regional health network with a unified mission: nurturing the healing ministry of the church while creating healthier communities. Headquartered in Omaha, the combined organization will consist of 16 hospitals, two stand-alone behavioral health facilities and more than 150 employed physician practice locations in Nebraska and southwestern Iowa. Nearly 15,900 employees comprise the workforce of this network that includes 2,820 licensed beds and serves as the primary teaching partner of Creighton University’s health sciences schools. In fiscal year 2013, the organization provided a combined $130.7 million in quantified community benefit including services for the poor, free clinics, education and research. With locations stretching from Kearney, Neb., to Missouri Valley, Iowa, the health network is the largest in Nebraska and serves residents of Nebraska, southwest Iowa and northern Kansas.

Locally, Mercy Hospital Corning remains under the leadership of hospital President Deb Goldsmith, Chief Nurse Executive Kathy Peckham, Operations Director of Ancillary Services Lisa Wolfe and Clinic Manager Beth Spieker.

“Dr. Robertson has met with our board of directors and we have shared our strategic plan for Mercy Hospital Corning.
