Still Smokin’ BBQ opens doors

By SCOTT VICKER

there’s a conversation piece for just about anyone.

“We just wanted it to be a nice, comfortable place people could come and sit down, reminisce and look at everything,” Gina said. “That’s what we were going for.”

OUNT AYR — After competing in barbecuing contests and catering for years, Doug Still of Mount Ayr knew exactly what he wanted to do when he retired from the flooring business this year.

Doug and his wife Gina opened the doors to Still Smokin’ BBQ on the north side of the square in Mount Ayr Monday afternoon and have been serving up barbecue ever since.

Located at 104 W. Madison St. in Mount Ayr, Still Smokin’ BBQ operates the kitchen from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Monday through Thursday and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The bar area opens at 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

“I opened my own business in 1977 laying carpet and floor covering. I just got to 40 years this year in the floor-covering business.

That makes me a dinosaur in that line of work. It’s either get up off my knees or retire at the nursing home in a wheelchair if I didn’t,” Doug said. “Since this is one of the things I enjoy and do a lot of catering, (I) thought it would be a nice fit. It’s good for the

community to have something different.”

The building, which previously housed several restaurants and a drugstore, was

Hollywood-themed when the Stills purchased it. Gone are the baby grand piano and pictures of the Rat Pack.

Right inside the front

door, patrons are met with a design style Still referred to as “John Wayne, John Deere and John 3:16.” From the American flag mural Gina

hand-painted on the wall just inside the door, to Mount Ayr athletics memorabilia, to the framed photos of John Wayne and Clint Eastwood,

Doug said about 85 percent of his restaurant’s menu items are not available elsewhere in town, carving out its own niche within the community.

The closest barbecue restaurants are 22 miles to the north in Afton and 35 miles to the south.

Still Smokin’ BBQ offers several sandwich options, including pulled pork, pork loin, brisket and prime rib, along with a pulled pork and brisket sandwich topped with an egg. Dinner plates include brisket, Iowa chop, chicken, prime rib and St. Louis-style ribs.

“You don’t see a lot of prime rib cooked over an open fire,” Doug said. “I get a lot of compliments on the prime rib. For anybody who hasn’t had prime rib cooked over an open fire, it’s a different experience to have one barbecued over an open-fire pit. The food tastes are all more of a unique experience.”

Union County Fatality accident still Fairgrounds building under investigation plan updated

By BAILEY POOLMAN committee members chose cation of buildings will work.

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

AFTON — The Union County Fair Board plans to have an upgraded fairgrounds in approximately two years, and that plan is slowly coming together.

Instead of one large building to house all the animals and a show ring like previously decided, board and

to split the upgrade into two buildings. The first building will house cattle, while the second will house hogs, sheep and a show ring, as well as men’s and women’s bathrooms.

The previous plan would not work because of ground elevation. The new plan, however, is not official until it’s been decided contractor bids are not too high and lo-

“Right now, we’re really at a standstill, and when I say standstill, our 501(c)3 application is going in this week, and we’ve got bids out with several contractors so we’re waiting for those bids to come back,” said Ben Adamson, Union County Fair Board vice president.

Currently, the fair board

SHANNON CITY — The fatality accident that killed Angel Daub, 25, of Creston April 27 is still under investigation, according to Iowa State Patrol officers.

According to an Iowa State Patrol report, Daub, driving a 1997 Ford north on 190th Avenue, failed to stop or have control of the vehicle at the intersection of 190th Avenue and Ring-

gold-Union Street, vaulted over the T-intersection and landed in a field. Officers arrived at approximately 7 a.m., but it is possible the accident occurred before that.

Daub and the passenger, Jason Wortman, 28, of Shannon City, were not wearing seat belts. Wortman was treated for injuries and released at the scene.

The paint is peeling from these animal barns located at Union County Fairgrounds in Afton. The Union County Fair Board plans to update the fairgrounds buildings with the latest plan, two large buildings: one to include housing for cattle, and another to include housing for hogs and sheep and host the show ring.

Today is May 5, the 126th day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 240 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (May 2-8) in history:

10 years ago Becky Baker of Xi Beta Psi, Dorothy Eyberg of Laureate Tau, Billie Jo Greene of Eta Psi and Jan Krantz of Xi Theta Chi were crowned “girls of the year” at Beta Sigma Phi Sorority’s 75th anniversary of Founder’s Day at Pizza Ranch in Creston.

Gerald Kasal missed by one day a ceremony honoring his son’s heroism. He died of cancer the day before his son Brad, who had been in the Marines nearly 20 years, was decorated with the Navy Cross, one of the nation’s highest military honors. Family and friends watched the ceremony conducted at Camp Pendleton in California by a live video conference hookup at Southwestern Community College. Brad received the honor for extraordinary heroism and severe injuries sustained in a military operation Nov. 13, 2004.

Creston native Dustin Baird was engulfed by a life of music since childhood playing drums, harmonica, rhythm and bass guitars in drum line and the school band, and also was a member of the National Anthem Singers at CHS.

members are in the process of changing their legal status to 501(c)3 in order to accept larger private donations for when fundraising for the new buildings begin.

The rest of the construction timeline is still in place. Adamson and Brad Van Gelder, Union County Fair Board president, hope to begin construction after the 2017 Union County Fair is complete, so by the 2018 Union County Fair, all fairgoers will be able to use the new facilities.

“This gives us the opportunity to grow and to have new buildings for the future,” Van Gelder said. “It allows us to house the livestock and to hopefully keep up with the growth of the numbers of 4-H’ers.”

According to Adamson, having a completely new building plan for the fairgrounds was going to be more efficient because otherwise, the upgrades were to happen to the current buildings, which are too small.

“We would have up-todate facilities with adequate electricity supporting those facilities, adequate plumbing supporting those facilities and, most importantly, adequate size to support our growing numbers,” Adamson said. “Right now, every (livestock) barn, they are absolutely jammed full. That’s what spurred the whole discussion around these buildings.”

Van Gelder said once the bids come back for the cost of the new building plan, the building committee will have a better understanding of how much the upgrade will cost and how to go about fundraising for and financing it.

“They (Union County Board of Supervisors) were able to fund us with what they could in the past, and as of right now, our goal is to do all of this through grant writing and private fundraising,” Adamson said. “The taxpayers are going to support it by going to the fair and supporting it there. The supervisors’ budget is really tight the way it is.

“A lot of this, it’s going to

cost a significant amount of money, and we realize this. ... But, some of my fondest memories as a kid were showing cattle and being over there and going to things. I have two young daughters, and if we’re successful, they will be able to spend their 4-H and FFA years in these new facilities.”

Doug uses four smokers behind the restaurant and starts preparing meat early in the morning. A rack of ribs typically takes two to three hours to cook, while brisket and pork butts take six to eight hours if the weather is cooperative.

On a cloudy day, it can take up to 10 or 12 hours for brisket or pork butts to cook within the 200-275 degree barbecue temperature zone.

“About four hours into the smoke, I’ll take and wrap everything in tin foil,” Doug said. “That keeps it from getting too much smoke and too much burntwood taste. I use apple and oak and it doesn’t put off a terribly strong wood flavor.

“The secret to a lot of barbecue is you cannot skimp the day you buy your meat.

It’s got to be fresh. If you skimp the day you buy it, it’s not going to taste good the day you put it on a plate.”

BBQ:

Numbers A main reason for the upgrade is the number of kids active in 4-H has increased in the past few years. There were 194 4-H participants in the 2011-12 year, 197 in the 2012-13 year, 205 in the 2013-14 year and 221 in the 2014-15 year.

Also, the number of animals shown increased from 2013 to 2015. Beef cattle animals increased from 130 to 174, sheep went from 124 to 143, goats increased from 20 to 29, horses went from 48 to 54, pigs from 99 to 120 and rabbits from 41 to 91.

Poultry increased from 32 other poultry in 2013 to 62 other poultry and 105 broilers in 2014. There were no poultry shown in 2015 because of the avian flu epidemic.

Clover Kids participants, which are children in kindergarten through third grade, have also been consistently around 100 for the past five years.

“There just hasn’t been a lot of change over there.

The buildings are in need of repair, and instead of just doing those couple barns, as a group we thought it would be better to, maybe, like we talked, put the big building in and do more things all at once instead of a building at a time,” Van Gelder said. “We’ve got a lot of 4-H kids involved, and we want to make it the best experience for them and the community.”

GREENFIELD – After careful deliberation and consideration of all options, the board of trustees of Adair County Health System has made the difficult decision to cease the clinic operations in Fontanelle effective June 1.

While those at the Fontanelle clinic value its patients who continue to utilize the Fontanelle clinic, it has been decided that as a tax supported hospital, there is a fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayers of Adair County to be as efficient with its limited resources as possible.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, May 5, 2016

Poolman: Respect It’s been two days since I attended the funeral of Angel Daub at Powers Funeral Home, and in those two days, I’ve still thought about those who attended and the movement of her casket to the back of an Adair County Memorial Hospital ambulance.

I didn’t know her, but I’ve been covering the accident for the newspaper since I first heard about it last week. But really, it isn’t about me covering it that makes me come back to Tuesday afternoon so often.

It was the people.

Girl on fire Bailey Poolman staff writer

I walked into the funeral home, and the first thing I saw were military men and women milling about in the main hall. The women had their hair slicked back in perfect buns at the nape of their necks, the men stood tall with their chins up.

Then I was ushered into a back room to sit in on the many speak-

ers. This is where I saw a line of men and women sitting in chairs near the front. They were wearing khaki button-ups with law enforcement patches, or blue shirts with the word EMS in big, block lettering on the back. There were also several firefighters in their dress shirts in attendance.

I have heard this is a common happening when one attends a funeral, but it was overwhelming the amount of respect this young woman received. It made me wish I’d known her.

Just like I’m sure many people have done in the past, I thought

about myself and what my funeral would be like. It made me think of my family, those immediate family members as well as those at the fire department. It made me think of my friends growing up and their families.

That day I had to talk to a close friend about it all, just to get my thoughts out in the open. First, he told me, “We (EMS) throw a hell of a funeral.” Then, he quoted Yogi Berra: “Always go to your friend’s funeral, or else they won’t go to yours.”

I suppose it’s all relative, in the end. We spend our time with

people so we have the reputation we want. But, shouldn’t we be spending our time getting to know those people so we know if they’re actually worth all that time spent on them? From what I heard at Angel’s funeral, she was one of those people who got to know someone and enjoyed time spent with the many friends she had.

Even though I didn’t know this woman, who was an EMT and a member of the military, she has already made me want to better myself in so many ways. Hopefully, I can do that.

Cinco de Mayo HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Los Angeles is holding a big festival today for the Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo, marking a Mexican military victory over France. It’s a huge drinking holiday. Celebrating Cinco de Mayo has become a popular annual tradition in America where we honor the people we are trying to deport.

Elvis & Nixon is a new movie comedy about their photo together in the Oval Office that opens Friday. They were two musical giants. Elvis was the King of Rock and Nixon’s Oval Office tapes were so laced with violent, vulgar and racist language he’s recognized today as the Father of Hip Hop. Seattle’s former NAACP president Rachel Dolezol discussed race on the Today Show Monday a year after she resigned, after her parents outed her as a white person pretending to be black. Racial identity is last year’s news. Today, Americans want to know what bathroom she identifies with.

The National Wrestling Hall of Fame removed former House Speaker Dennis Hastert from its honors list as a former wrestling coach. It’s due to his pedophile scandal. How bad is it when our nation’s top political leaders don’t have the moral fiber to be in the same association as Hulk Hogan.

Donald Trump became the presumptive GOP candidate for president Tuesday after he won in Indiana, forcing Ted Cruz out. Pollsters said Trump did surprisingly well with Hispanic voters, with working women and the middle class voters. He now has six months to win over the Republicans.

Donald Trump tried to start uniting the Republicans after his Indiana win Tuesday. The Never Trump crowd in the GOP won’t concede.

We have reached the point where the Democrats’ only chance of getting Hillary elected is for the Republicans to stop Donald Trump from getting nominated.

Donald Trump boasted Tuesday he was hit by sixty thousand negative TV attack ads and still won the

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

GOP nomination. The handwriting is on the wall. Ten minutes after Ted Cruz quit the race making Trump the nominee, Air Canada added six oneway flights a day from Los Angeles to Vancouver starting in November.

Donald Trump gave an interview Friday in which he laid out his family and business plans in case he wins. He said if elected President of the United States he and his wife Melania will live in the White House. He’ll be sixty-nine years old then and that’s when a lot of couples start to downsize.

Hillary Clinton had to apologize to Native Americans for stating in an NBC interview she had spent many years dealing with men who’d gone off the reservation. It must have been deeply offensive. Not only did Indians protest but Donald Trump offered her one hundred dollars for the line.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz gave a moving and patriotic farewell speech Tuesday after he lost the Indiana primary so overwhelmingly to Donald Trump. It’s still a three-man race for the GOP nomination. Besides Trump’s name on the ballot, John Kasich is running two points behind Not Sure.

Minnesota police logs revealed Tuesday that Prince’s neighbors called in complaints citing his cocaine use on top of all the Percocet and Dilaudid he was on. There’s no way he left us for a better world than that one. Prince may be the only man in the history of the world who descended to heaven.

Brooke Shields testified against her alleged stalker Tuesday in New York City. He went to her play ten times, followed her home and knocked on her door. For a precise legal definition, stalking is whenever two of you go out on a long romantic stroll together, and only one of you knows about it.

Busy summer planned in Creston In this month, the Creston Chamber of Commerce would like to acknowledge the many businesses that call Creston home. We feel it is important to recognize the contributions of our Creston small business community to our economy and our society. Please, take a moment to think about the impact on our local economy and community that these local businesses have.

Look at how many people they employ, the number of people that shop in Creston because of our businesses, but do not live here and the impact on our tax base to name but a few areas that our small business community directly affects.

When you stop to think about all that we have available to us here in Creston – great grocery stores, an outstanding hospital, great medical facilities, a fiveday-a-week daily newspaper, local radio station, numerous great shopping and dining experiences, great schools, two golf courses, Southern Prairie YMCA, Southwestern Community College, as well as the numerous parks and lakes to name but a few of the things that add to our quality of life – we really are quite fortunate.

Please stop by or call your local businesses, and let them know how much you appreciate them being in business in Creston. I know these hard working folks will appreciate it. May I also suggest that we not stop here, but remember them in the upcoming weeks and months as well.

Creston businesses really do make Creston and Union County a special place to live, work, shop and call home. Thank you for being here and all that you do for our great community.

Real Estate Report INVITE THE LIGHT

Natural light makes a person more energized and happier. You want this for buyers or yourself.

Keep the drapes and blinds open. Clean the windows. Dirty windows obstruct the sunlight and make a home appear unkempt. Spend a day cleaning windows. Install larger windows or replace windows with a patio door to a deck. South or west windows greatly improve natural light. Use mirrors to reflect the light. Put extra lamps in dark corners. Take out the hall wall; it will make the rooms larger and you won’t have a dark tunnel.

How about a skylight? The solar tubes are much improved over old-style skylights. Trim shrubs and trees that block the light.

Create a three season room. You could create a greenhouse or solarium.

6 kitchen and bath upgrades that are 'the whole package' (BPT) - Let’s face it - once you get past high school, the people who go farthest in life are the ones who are the “whole package,” those who balance style, good looks and brains. The same can be said of kitchen and bath upgrades.

The ones that will stand the test of time - the ones you’ll love as much in five years as you do the day they’re installed - are the improvements that blend style and intelligence.

Sure you might fall in love with that $5,000 built-in coffee maker, but are you going to adore it as much when you’re still paying for it five years from now? And when you sell your home one day, will buyers agree with you that it was worth giving up an entire walk-in closet to get five more square feet in the master bathroom?

Great bathrooms and kitchens really do sell homes, so it makes sense to invest in upgrades that are the whole package. They look great, are stylish, functional and enjoyable, and will give you a decent return on your investment when it comes time to sell.

Here are six kitchen and bathroom improvements that really are the total package: 1. Granite countertops Countertops are both a major design feature and a vital necessity in both kitchens and baths. New, quality countertops improve the appearance and function of either room. Of course, granite is still a top choice for kitchen counters but it also goes well in the bathroom, giving vanities a high-end look. A USA Today study found more than half of buyers said they would pay more for a home with granite countertops.

2. Skylights Whether in a kitchen or bathroom, adding solar-powered, fresh-air skylights will brighten the space with abundant daylight and freshen the air with natural ventilation that exhausts heat, humidity and odors. In baths, they also provide privacy. Energy Star-qualified no leak skylights like those

Energy Star-qualified solar powered fresh air skylights brighten your kitchen and dining area while silently exhausting cooking odors.

Energy efficient solar blinds allow you to adjust the light during the day and control heat gain or loss as well. The skylights and blinds, along with installation costs, are eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit. Get details at www.whyskylights.com.

from VELUX America can be operated by a touchpad programmable remote control, as can solar powered blinds in an array of designer colors and patterns, and are eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit for the skylights, blinds and the cost of installation. Sun Tunnel tubular skylights make it possible to add natural light even in first-floor kitchens or bathrooms where there is no direct roof access. To learn more, and to locate local dealers and certified installers, visit www.whyskylights.com.

3. Quality lighting Lighting is both a practical and design consideration for kitchens and bathrooms. In addition to natural light sources, such as skylights and windows, it’s a good investment to install upgraded light fixtures. You should have multiple layers of light, including overhead for both rooms, task lighting or under-the-cabinet lighting in kitchens, and vanity lighting in the bathroom. Your design options are vast, and upgrading your light-

ing can be both a design statement and an improvement that enhances livability.

4. Eco-friendly fixtures and appliances Of course you know new appliances and fixtures can make kitchens and baths look more appealing to buyers, and more enjoyable for you while you live in your home.

But their value will be even greater if you choose options that can also help reduce your water, sewer and utility bills. From low-flow showerheads and ultra-high-efficiency toilets, to Energy Star-qualified dishwashers and refrigerators, eco-friendly fixtures and appliances are great design choices that will put money back in your pocket for years to come.

5. Tile Tile is a big win for both kitchens and baths. Replacing worn or dated tile in showers or bathroom floors improves the look and function of the room. In kitchens, adding a tile backsplash is an affordable way to make a design

statement while protecting walls from cooking spatters. Tile can also serve as a countertop material in kitchens and baths, where design flexibility and durability are essential.

6. Organization and storage solutions From dishes, pots, pans and foodstuff in the kitchen, to towels and personal care items in the bathroom, you probably have a lot of stuff that needs to be stored in both rooms. So will future buyers!

Adding cabinet and drawer organizers, as well as extra storage solutions, can make it easier for you to use both rooms. Plus, it will help reduce clutter, giving your kitchen and bath a more open, clean look.

You don’t need a huge budget to make kitchen and bathroom upgrades that really are the whole package. Even a minor renovation in either room can have a big impact on your home’s livability, beauty and resale value.

What is spring-cleaning to you?

Dear Readers: You should be well into your SPRING-CLEANING for the season, but wait – do you spring-clean? Do you take a few days to deep-clean your home to make it fresh and to air it out?

In some parts of the country, especially during rough winters in the Northeast and Midwest, your home might be closed up all winter, and therefore is musty, dusty and stale.

Here in the Southern states, spring-cleaning is not a big event. Our homes are typically not sealed for winter; we have barbecues on the patio year-round; the grass is mowed in February; temperatures are typically warmer.

But what does spring-cleaning entail for you? It could be cleaning windows inside and out, wiping out the window frames, steam-cleaning carpets and tiles, and moving, cleaning under and rearranging furniture.

Share your spring-cleaning story here, and share what past generations have done in your family for the change of seasons.

By the way, does anyone beat their area rugs over the clothesline anymore? – Heloise

SPEAKING OF SPRING-CLEANING .....

Dear Heloise: Several

Hints from Heloise years ago, your ingredients for a homemade cleaning solution included rubbing alcohol and dish soap. I lost the proportions – could you print them again? – John A., Pekin, Ill. Certainly! What you’ve mentioned are the ingredients for one of my all-purpose cleaners. The other ingredient is nonsudsing ammonia. Here are the proportions: 1/2 cup nonsudsing ammonia 1/2 cup rubbing alcohol 1 teaspoon dishwashing liquid Enough water to make a gallon Wear rubber gloves when using ammonia, and work with a soft cloth in a ventilated area. This cleaner is great to cut grease and grime. Try it on window blinds, countertops and tile!

Clearly label the mixture.

Cleaners that you find at the supermarket are of good quality and work well, but you are paying a lot for their packaging, product placement and advertising.

If I had three days to see, this is what I would want to see.

On the first day, I would want to see the people whose kindness and companionship have made my life worth living. I would call in my friends and look for a long time into their faces. I would also look into the face of a new baby. I would like to see the many books which have been read to me.

The next day, I would get up early to see the dawn. I would visit a museum to learn of man’s upward progress in the making of things. I would go to an art museum to probe the human soul by Rev. Ken Halbur, pastor.

The third morning I would again greet the dawn, eager to discover new beauties in nature. I would spend this last day in the haunts of persons, where they work. I would stand at a busy street corner, trying to understand something of the daily lives of persons by looking into their faces and reading what is written there.

On the last evening, I would go to a theater and see a hilariously funny play, so as to appreciate the overtones of humor in the human spirit.

FRAIN’S FINAL RUN

The Numbers Game

25 NBA-record number of 3-pointers made Thursday by the Cleveland Cavaliers in a 123-98 playoff victory over the Atlanta Hawks.

National Digest

NBA record CLEVELAND (AP) — Dropping jumpers from every corner and angle, the Cleveland Cavaliers drained an NBA record 25 3-pointers — the most in any regular season or playoff game - during a 12398 runaway win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night in Game 2 of their second-round series.

J.R. Smith made seven 3s as the Cavs, looking like an Eastern Conference version of Golden State’s Splash Brothers, had the most prolific outside shooting game of any team in league history.

James made four 3s and scored 27 points for the defending conference champions, who were able to rest their starters for the entire fourth quarter.

Cleveland finished 25 of 45 behind the arc and had 10 players make at least one 3.

Manziel booked DALLAS (AP) — Johnny Manziel has been booked and posted bond in a domestic violence case, one day before the former Cleveland Browns quarterback faces his first court hearing.

Manziel attorney Robert Hinton said Wednesday that the 23-year-old quarterback presented himself for booking and a mugshot.

Police in Highland Park, a wealthy Dallas enclave that’s separate from the city, released the mugshot Wednesday afternoon.

The Heisman Trophy winner and former Texas A&M star was indicted by a grand jury last month after his ex-girlfriend alleged he hit her and threatened to kill her during a night out in January.

Manziel faces a Class A misdemeanor that carries up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine.

He is expected to appear briefly before a Dallas judge today.

Derby donation LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Dennis Albaugh, whose family owns Brody’s Cause, has announced the winner’s share will be donated to the Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) Foundation if the colt prevails Saturday in the 142nd running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.

“This pledge combines two of my passions, DMACC and horse racing,” Albaugh, a 1972 DMACC graduate, said in a Tuesday media release. “It also offers another opportunity for me to share my successes with the college that started me on my career path many years ago.”

Albaugh continues to live in Iowa, where he has made a fortune in pesticides.

Former Panther all-state pitcher concludes career with South Dakota

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

ERMILLION, S.D. — After this weekend’s conference series at rival South Dakota State, University of South Dakota senior pitcher Madison Frain carries high hopes into her final Summit League softball tournament May 11-14 in Fargo, N.D. L a s t weekend, Frain concluded her home career at Nygaard Field on the USD Frain campus in a Senior Day doubleheader against conference leader North Dakota State. She was introduced with parents Darrell and Kim Frain of Creston during a ceremony between games of the doubleheader.

“It’s hard to believe it’s almost over,” Frain said after her team dropped the pair of games, 3-0 and 8-2, which extended the Bison’s Summit League winning streak to 24 games.

However, Frain had a strong outing in the opener after some tough luck in a two-run first inning that included an error and only one ball hit out of the infield. She got a strikeout to end the inning with the bases loaded.

Frain allowed just two hits the rest of the way and finished with three strikeouts.

South Dakota’s Madison Frain of Creston sends a pitch to a North Dakota State batter during her Senior Day appearance at USD’s Nygaard Field Friday. After yielding two runs on five hits and an error in the first inning, Frain allowed only one run and two hits the rest of the way in a 3-0 loss to the Summit League-leading Bison.

At 10-13, Frain has 76 percent of the victories this season for South Dakota (13-34, 7-7 Summit).

“A couple bad hits and not making the best of our opportunities on some little groundballs,” said Frain, shrugging off the quirky first inning. Her coach said she deserved a better fate in her final home appearance.

“We make a couple of defensive plays that we should make, and that’s a different ballgame,” Coyote coach Amy Klyse said. “She

(Frain) did well. She shut them down after that.”

Klyse said she liked what she saw in Frain as an accomplished pitcher at Creston High School. Name a Panther pitching record, and Frain owns it.

While those teams came up one game short of the state tournament appearance of the 2015 team, Frain’s pitching set the foundation for that step with consistent winning. with parents Darrell and Kim Frain of Creston, Joined by shortstop Katlin Shown South Dakota pitcher Madison Frain is introduced during Senior Day at South Dakota Friday FRAIN | 12A

Patton hopes to return to All-America form

ES MOINES — Kate Patton and her Central Dutch teammates made a big statement here Friday at the Drake Relays.

Patton, who missed a large chunk of the indoor track season and part of the outdoor season with an injury, is finally rounding back into shape.

And it showed during Friday’s prelims of the

College Division 4x400 relay.

Patton split a 58.7 on her third leg of the relay, as the Dutch ran 3:49.73 as a team.

That time ranks the Dutch fourth nationally in Division III and also fell just .02 seconds short of qualifying for Saturday’s finals in the event. Oklahoma Baptist claimed the final qualifying spot with its time of 3:49.71.

“Honestly, this is the first A team we’ve ran all year,” Patton said about

the 4x400 relay team. “Our anchor is hurt, too. We’re hoping to get big things out of her. She’s just a freshman. Our goal was to run under 3:49, but nationally, we should rank pretty high up there. Still gives us motivation to work hard in practice, too.”

Other relay members included seniors Ashlee Downs and Abigail Davis and freshman anchor Hope Heitman.

Being able to train with athletes the caliber of Downs and Davis has

“I kind of know what to expect this year. Being an All-American last year, I’m just hungry to go back to nationals this year and do even better.”

— Kate Patton

Central College sophomore sprinter

pushed Patton to become a better athlete on the track.

“I’m running with a seven-time All-American (Davis) and she’s really good. Ashlee Downs, she graduated from Valley and I think she still holds the record in the 100 meters, so she’s really good, too,” Patton said. “Just a great group of girls. They’re very supportive, motivating, everything a great teammate should be.”

Having that type of competition day in and day out is something Patton didn’t have at Murray High School, where she didn’t even have a track to train on.

It’s been beneficial for Patton in her sophomore season at Central College.

Coming off a freshman campaign that saw Patton reach All-American status, Patton had high hopes for her sophomore campaign.

After missing time with injury, things are starting to come around for Patton.

“I ran a 26.01, which is only .1 off my PR from last year,” she said. “I kind of know what CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER Central College sophomore Kate Patton of Murray runs around the first turn during to expect this year. Being an the College Division women’s 4x400 relay at the Drake Relays on Friday.

CORNING — Four golfers were disqualified here Tuesday at the Pride of Iowa Conference Tournament held at Happy Hollow Country Club.

One of those golfers was Nodaway Valley senior Sam Marnin, who was leading the Wolverines when he signed an incorrect scorecard. “He forgot to add a twostroke penalty on a hole,�

Nodaway Valley head coach Steve Shantz said. “This was brought to my attention after all scores were in. Sam told me what happened and I had to tell him the penalty and bring (it) to the attention of other coaches.�

Even though the Wolverines lost their top golfer on the day, Nodaway Valley still had enough firepower to win its fourth straight Pride of Iowa Conference boys golf championship with a team score of 344.

Pleasantville finished runner-up with a 356. East Union finished fourth at 367, with Mount Ayr tying with Wayne at 380 for seventh place and Southwest Valley in ninth place with a 395.

With Marnin being disqualified, that opened the door for Nodaway Valley freshman Spencer Lamb, who posted the low score of the day with a round of

77 to win medalist honors.

Senior brother Jackson L a m b shot 39s on both sets of n i n e holes for S. Lamb a 78 and finished third after losing a card-off with Martensdale-St. Marys’ Grant Crowell. “Although we didn’t reach our shooting goal, we achieved the overall goal of winning four straight POI championships,�

Shantz said. “Now we can focus on our next goal, which is to move on to districts. Congratulations to Spencer for winning the POI as a freshman, and to all of our golfers.�

Mount Ayr freshman Myles Greene finished fourth individually with his round of 79. Southwest Valley’s Bryson Rhamy was 10th with an 86. East Union’s Sanden Cheers finished 11th with his round of 87, while teammate Ryan Collins and Nodaway Valley’s Wes Davis each carded 87s to tie for 12th.

Noah Cooper rounded out the team scoring for the Wolverines with his round of 102.

ANKENY — The Southwestern Community College women competed at Otter Creek in the 2016 Region XI Championship Friday and Saturday.

Coach Doug North said nerves, a tough course and “wild� golf conditions — cold, wind and rain — slowed the Spartans.

In the 27-hole tournament, Evy Wells of Southwestern shot 99 on her first 18 and 60 on the final nine holes to place 26th with a score of 159. Brooke Decker was 27th at 112-61 — 173. “I definitely know some nerves were there on Friday, and once those calmed down, we did our thing,�

North said. “Neither Brooke nor Evy are satisfied with how they played, and that frustration will lead to dedication this summer. On the way home, we talked about ways to improve and come back next year and really compete.�

Iowa Western won the team competition with a score of 475 and advances to the national tournament in Daytona Beach, Florida.

DMACC was second at 528.

The Spartan coach is looking to build a full women’s team in 2017. “These two girls are my foundation and they are both planning on coming

back this fall,� North said. “They are the start of my program, and we have really taken strides together. All of us are excited to have a full team next year and take that next step forward.�

The Spartan men’s team will compete Saturday and Sunday at the Region XI Championship at Lake Panorama National Golf Course in Panora.

In the current national rankings for NJCAA Division II golf, Southwestern is ranked 32nd among 85 teams. Ben Sandquist leads the team, ranked 212 in a field of 484 golfers. Other Spartans include Avery Elliott (259), Christian Groumoutis (306), Dominick Moreno (307) and Jared

Baier (343).

Carson Whittington, sophomore from Creston on the Kirkwood team, is ranked 27th in the nation and will be in the field this weekend at Panora.

CHICAGO (AP) — After completing a threegame sweep at PNC Park, the Cubs collectively enjoyed their latest conquest while putting on their goofy suits and briefly putting off some deep thoughts about their next challenge.

Behind a 12-hit attack and 5 2/3 shutout innings from Jon Lester, the Cubs soundly beat the Pirates 6-2 before heading home Wednesday night for a four-game series against the National League East -leading Nationals.

But they took some time to savor the sweep gained an array of contributions despite the absence of right fielder Jason Heyward

(sore right wrist).

“We’re super happy to come in here and beat up on our division against a second place team and separate ourselves a little bit,” catcher David Ross said.

“But the approach is dayto-day. We’ll enjoy it and think about Washington on (Thursday). It’s business as usual.”

Coming home The Cubs return home for a 10-game homestand with the momentum of a 20-6 record — their best start since the 1907 team started 22-4. Lester was sharp enough for them to win for the 22nd time in their last 25 regular-season road games dating back to

September.

And they did it with a balanced offense thanks to some timely hitting from Anthony Rizzo, Ben Zobrist and Javier Baez.

“Even though we only won by four (Wednesday), it felt like more than that,” Zobrist said.

Rizzo is batting .419 (13for-31) during his eightgame hitting streak that started after he opened up his stance. Rizzo had five doubles in the series and increased his RBI total to 27 with his ninth home run League champs: Wednesday.

“Opening up his stance has freed up his hands,” manager Joe Maddon said.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

After all that carnage, you see hope?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Was there anything enjoyable about the Talladega carnage?

GODSPEAK: I watched the whole thing, start to finish, clutching my cat Flash.

So, ’Dega makes you pay attention.

KEN’S CALL: Everyone seemed to walk away, but they’re playing with fire. Sometimes literally.

Has Jeff Gordon ever been happier to be retired?

GODSPEAK: There was probably only one driver happier: Tony Stewart, who posted 50-some laps and exited his car.

KEN’S CALL: I doubt the cameras caught it, but he probably hugged and kissed DW and Mike Joy before leaving Talladega on Sunday.

Why do those top-10 rankings on this page look familiar?

GODSPEAK: Get used to these faces. After the 10-race mark, there will be little change until October.

KEN’S CALL: A plate race isn’t a real race. Would you change performance rankings on such a thing?

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM GEICO 500

So you don’t see hope?

1. Stock-car takeoffs

If seeing Daytona’s fence “compromised” twice in three years hasn’t suggested NASCAR should develop a system of saner speeds that doesn’t involve big-pack time bombs, what will?

Here’s what might: The Drivers Council, which has shown a willingness to flex a little muscle. That and the newly chartered team owners, who can’t enjoy spending all that money on developing plate-race machines and wasting all that money on junked sheet metal.

The Talladega race produced wrecks that sent three different stock cars soaring in the air. Chris Buescher got the worst of it in the No. 34 Ford. He went up in the air and barrel-rolled several times. “It was so quick I never had any time to react,” he said. His sponsor? CSX Play It Safe.

2. More reaction

What’s the answer?

NASCAR mandates roof flaps on stock cars to keep cars from popping up like a champagne cork. Sunday’s incidents sent a chill through the garage. “It’s very concerning,” driver Jamie McMurray said. “We need to keep looking at that and trying to make it better every race.”

Smokey Yunick used to simply say, “Smaller engines!” Overall, there seems to be a hundred methods of slowing the cars at Daytona/Talladega without forcing them together in dangerous packs. But so far, there are 101 reasons we’re told they won’t work. But they’re courting big danger, and will continue courting it, and no one wants to turn off the teetering merry-go-round because, hey, what could go wrong with a merrygo-round? Right?

3. Earnhardt effort What would you do if you pulled the steering wheel off your car at 180 mph? It happened to Dale Junior, who grabbed the steering column to keep his No. 88 Chevy from crashing. “I wasn't going to

NASCAR driver Chris Buescher’s Ford was not cleared by the tower for takeoff at Talladega. AP PHOTO/GREG MCWIILLIAMS let it hit the wall so I grabbed the column and steered it with that,” Junior said.

First, no, I don’t see any hope of NASCAR’s promoters wanting to bring sanity to Talladega and Daytona and restrictorplate racin’. Huge packs of cars bunched together, lap after lap after lap, attracts attention from those who anticipate trouble — that includes those who fear it and those who enjoy it. You know who you are. Ticket sales and TV numbers are built on daredevil maneuvers.

351 342 337 329 316 312 300 279 274 272 271 269 261 232 231 228 224 219 219 218 201 197 188 180 170 166 160 149 142 128

You don’t have to be a social scientist to figure out that when people feel they have been wronged, those people may take justice into their own hands. In NASCAR’s society, what drivers have in their hands is a steering wheel.

Last season, Matt Kenseth was suspended for two races for deliberately crashing Joey Logano. Don’t look now, but those two crossed bumpers again at Talladega. Careful at Kansas, boys.

2. 10 down There are 16 regular-season Cup races left on the schedule, but before you know it, there will be 15 minutes of sand left in the hourglass.

Desperation is growing.

Patrick Maybe other Cup Series drivers can keep Matt Kenseth (No. 20) and Joey Logano (No. 22) separated on the race track like they did in the Sprint Unlimited. GETTY IMAGES/JARED C. TILTON Drivers with lesser rides tried to make things happen, and look at the mess left behind on Sunday. “Landon Cassill (was) trying to cause a wreck for the last 40 laps and he finally got it done there at the end,” Kevin Harvick said of the 25th-ranked driver.

3. Cable upgrade?

If you haven’t studied the upcoming NASCAR Sprint Cup Series television schedule

carefully, there’s some bad news for basic-cable subscribers. Six of the next seven racing events, including the All-Star Race, will be broadcast by Fox Sports 1. The last race on Fox proper is the Coca-Cola 600 from Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 29. Maybe it is time to make amends with that neighbor with the full cable package.

McDowell

DANICA PATRICK VS. MICHAEL MCDOWELL: Plenty of choices at ’Dega. This one stood out. “I know I got drilled from behind (by McDowell) and turned sideways and hello wall,” Patrick said.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Patrick was in position for a top-10 finish when McDowell tagged her, sent her No. 10 Chevy into the wall and the driver to the care center for X-rays. This one and others aren’t over.

FRAIN: CONT. FROM | 1A

Briley, who recently concluded her career at Briar Cliff University, and second baseman Maddie Haines, Frain was part of a class that won four straight Hawkeye 10 championships, played in three straight regional final games, and went 151-33 with an 80-10 mark in league play. That included an 18-0 conference record in 2010.

In their senior year the Panthers went 29-8 with a 17-1 record in the Hawkeye 10.

“She obviously had great stuff, pitching-wise, in high school,” Klyse said. “When I recruit I care that you’re feisty and that you want the ball. Obviously, in high school she was a horse. She pitched all the time and showed that she could handle that.”

Career evolved Success at the Division I level wasn’t immediate, and Frain battled the demons of self-doubt.

“As a freshman and sophomore, I didn’t think I was playing well and I didn’t understand everything,” Frain said. “As you get older, you realize things. I just worked really hard to prove that I am good enough to play at this level. As the years went on I learned more about what kid of pitcher I am and how to go against a team.”

Klyse said it was a matter of addition by subtraction for the rangy lefthander.

“We actually took some stuff away,” the USD coach said. “Movement and being able to mix speeds are her strengths. We took a couple of pitches away to focus more on her strengths. She doesn’t use a drop (ball) anymore. We said that takes 20 percent of every single workout, and we barely throw it in a game, so let’s get rid of it.”

Frain has had a strong run during her senior campaign, earning Summit League Pitcher of the Week honors during an incredible stretch when she allowed nine hits and one run in 15 1/3 innings of work for an ERA of 0.46.

She struck out a season-high 10 batters in a 2-0 win over

IUPUI and had 15 strikeouts during the series when she had two wins and a save.

“In that stretch where she kind of flipped her performance, it was completely mental for Madison,” Klyse said. “Being able to take charge on the mound, trust her preparation, trust our report on a hitter. And, just trusting that she can do it, as opposed to pressing about it.

She went out and executed a plan.”

Staff leader When Frain arrived on campus, senior Erica Denney was the leader of the Coyote pitching staff. When Denney graduated, Frain was suddenly the oldest pitcher in fall camp in 2013.

“She’s been a great leader,” Klyse said. “She’s taken control of our pitchers. She’s been our oldest pitcher since she was a sophomore. She was important in showing things like this is how hard we work, this is our set-up.

She kind of took control of those things and helped guide those younger pitchers so they knew what we expected. She’s a great teammate.”

Frain has embraced that role.

“I’m always willing to teach the other girls in certain situations, help them as much as possible,” Frain said “I think that helps me, too.”

Despite sharing duties in the circle with junior Rachel Cue and sophomore Megan Green, Frain has amassed the fourth-most wins in program history (39) while pitching in 113 games. She has made 84 career starts spanning nearly 500 innings of work, including 41 complete games.

The previous weekend against Nebraska-Omaha, Frain became the fifth player in South Dakota history to record 300 strikeouts.

Early graduate Thanks to multiple credits earned at Southwestern Community College while in high school, Frain graduated ahead of schedule last summer with a bachelor’s degree in sports management, with a minor in coaching. She is pitching her senior season as a graduate student, seeking a master’s degree in interdisci-

plinary studies.

“I’ve spent a lot of time in the library,” she said, explaining the time shuffle that includes four-hour offseason workouts besides a busy season of competition. “You have to stay on top of your homework. People don’t understand the commitment at this level. It’s a full-time job.

With our team, we are literally together all of the time.”

Frain had an internship with the minor league baseball Omaha Storm Chasers last summer. She envisions a career in collegiate athletics, hopefully at the administrative level eventually.

“My graduate major is to improve the undergrad work,” Frain said. “I’m taking higher education courses so I can work at an athletic department, and leadership stuff to build on my sports management degree. Next year I’ll be working in our athletic compliance office as a grad assistant. I really hope to become an athletic director at a college.”

Between games Friday, Frain and fellow seniors Katie Cochran, Yvon Minogue and Sydney Hancock were recognized with their

parents. The series was a rematch of last year’s Summit League tournament final.

This year, the Coyotes are sitting in third place in the league by one game over Western Illinois and South Dakota State. North Dakota State, at 14-0 in the conference, is a big favorite next week. But, Frain hopes the Coyotes can get hot more more time.

“It’s my last one. Might as well make it a good one!” she said.

Her parents have been following her around the country for softball for many years. The Senior Day ceremony was a little bittersweet.

“You have those emotions that it’s over, sure,” Darrell Frain said, “but it’s time.

She’s ready to move on with the rest of her life.”

New federal rule would permit thousands of eagle deaths

Police probe beating of black University of Iowa student IOWA CITY (AP) — A black University of Iowa freshman told police that he was severely beaten by three white men who called him racial slurs, investigators said Wednesday.

The Iowa City Police Department said that it was investigating the assault of Marcus Owens as a hate crime. Owens, 19, walked in to the department late Monday to report the assault, which he said happened late Saturday in downtown Iowa City.

Owens told police that he was walking in an alley near several bars and restaurants when he was approached by a man and struck multiple times. Two others joined the attack, striking him several more times and calling him racial slurs, he told police. Owens described his assailants as three white men who were of average height and approximately 19 to 22 years old.

Owens, who is from Naperville, Illinois, was later treated for his injuries at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.

The attack was first reported Tuesday night by WLSTV in Chicago, which said Owens suffered damage to his eye socket, had his front teeth knocked out and injuries to his lip that required stitches. The station said he was released from the hospital Monday evening.

Students took to social media to express safety concerns and question why they learned about the alleged hate crime from the station, not the university.

University of Iowa officials condemned the assault Wednesday and moved to offer support services to Owens and any other affected student.

The university’s interim public safety director, Lucy Wiederholt, said Owens initially came to the campus police department late Monday to report the assault. A dispatcher referred him to Iowa City police after learning the incident occurred

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is revising a federal rule that allows wind-energy companies to operate high-speed turbines for up to 30 years, even if means killing or injuring thousands of federally protected bald and golden eagles.

Under the plan announced Wednesday, wind companies and other power providers could kill or injure up to 4,200 bald eagles a year without penalty — nearly four times the current limit. Golden eagles could only be killed if companies take steps to minimize the losses, for instance, by retrofitting power poles to reduce the risk of electrocution.

Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe said the proposal will “provide a path forward” for maintaining eagle populations while also spurring development of a pollution-free energy source that’s intended to ease global warming, a cornerstone of President Barack Obama’s energy plan.

Ashe said the 162-page proposal would protect eagles and at the same time “help the country reduce its reliance on fossil fuels” such as coal and oil that contribute to global warming.

“There’s a lot of good news in here,” Ashe said in an interview, calling the plan “a great tool to work with to further conservation of two iconic species.”

The proposal sets objectives for eagle management, addresses how bird populations will be monitored and provides a framework for

off-campus, which is routine, she said.

“It eliminates having victims retell the story more than once,” she said. “As soon as we discovered it was downtown, we didn’t ask any additional questions.”

In a statement issued later Wednesday, the university said, “We now recognize this as a failure in current UI protocol and will be working with many campus and community partners, including ICPD, to improve reporting mechanisms in the future.”

The school said that it learned more details of the assault Tuesday night from news reports. Campus police issued a crime alert Wednesday morning notifying students of the assault after getting information from Iowa City police.

Owens and his family met Wednesday morning with the dean of students’ office, where administrators offered to provide academic support during finals week.

University president Bruce Harreld joined the meeting at the family’s request.

Police said they have gathered information about possible suspects and were actively exploring leads.

University vice president for student life Tom Rocklin expressed hope that criminal charges could be brought soon. If any UI students are responsible, they will likely face sanctions such as suspension or expulsion from the school, he said.

“I’m deeply concerned and saddened by the report that this was a hate crime,” Rocklin said. “We want our students to feel safe on campus and we have students today who are not feeling safe. What we hope to do here is to resolve the criminal part of this rapidly and provide some assurance of safety.”

Three percent of the 32,000 students enrolled at Iowa were black as of last fall, university statistics show.

how the permitting system fits within the agency’s overall eagle management, Ashe said.

Wind farms are clusters of turbines as tall as 30-story buildings, with spinning rotors as wide as a passenger jet’s wingspan. Blades can reach speeds of up to 170 mph at the tips, creating tornado-like vortexes.

The Fish and Wildlife Service estimates there are about 143,000 bald eagles in the United States, and 40,000 golden eagles.

It’s unclear what toll wind energy companies are having on eagle populations, although Ashe said as many 500 golden eagles a year are killed by collisions with wind towers, power lines, buildings, cars and trucks. Thousands more are killed by gunshots and poisonings.

Reporting of eagle mortality is voluntary, and the Interior Department refuses to release the information.

Wednesday’s announcement kicks off a 60-day comment period. Officials hope to issue a final rule this fall.

The plan was developed after a federal judge in California blocked a 2013 rule that gave wind energy companies a 30-year pass to kill bald and golden eagles.

U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh ruled last August that the Fish and Wildlife Service failed to follow environmental procedural requirements in issuing the 2013 directive.

The agency had classified its action as an administrative change from a 2009 rule, excluding it from a full environmental review.
