Free fishing for all residents this weekend

Despite Trump, cleaner energy growth expected to carry on WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump may abandon U.S. pledges to reduce carbon emissions that contribute to global warming, but that step seems unlikely to stall the push to adopt cleaner forms of energy.

Around the world, coalfired power plants are being shuttered as governments and private companies invest billions in wind turbines and solar farms.

Even in regions of the U.S. where coal is plentiful, electric utilities are increasingly shifting to cheaper,

Iowa residents will be able fish this weekend without purchasing a license as part of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources free fishing weekend.

This weekend is free fishing weekend across the state of Iowa.

The event, put on by Iowa’s Department of Natural Resources, will run Friday through Sunday and allows Iowa residents of all ages to fish without a license. The goal of the weekend is to build support and interest in the sport.

Anglers typically need a fishing license in order to fish.

“The idea is that you’re going to take somebody out there who may not want to buy a license yet but is willing to try it,” said Union County C o n s e r - Carlton

vation Officer Corey Carlton.

Carlton welcomes the idea of a weekend to potentially get more residents a chance to find a new hobby or passion.

“Get them kind of hooked, get them to catch a couple fish and have a good time, and at some point they might turn into license buyers.”

The profit from fishing licenses goes towards Iowa’s DNR Fisheries Bureau to produce and stock more than 160 million fish annually, construct fish habitats, improve water quality and restore lakes with a history of poor fishing and improve access for anglers.

Union County is home to a number of lakes, some of which already have boat trailers lined up in anticipation.

Local anglers qualify for regional tournament

By CARTER ECKL CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

Two local anglers qualified for a regional tournament after placing in the Nebraska Federation Tournament at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Tyler Wolf and Dr. John Thomsen both qualified for the regional tournament, finishing fourth and fifth, respectively.

The tournament consisteted of approximately 130 other anglers.

Wolf and Thomsen have been competing in fishing tournaments since the early 1990’s.

The details of the regional tournament have not been announced so anglers can’t get a leg up on the competition. This keeps competitors from being able to scout out the best places to find and catch fish before the tournament begins.

“The next one will be next spring, don’t even know the date of it yet, don’t know the location, only know that its out of 19 states,” said Wolf.

“We assume it will be somewhere between Minnesota, Iowa, Texas and Kentucky,” said Thomsen.

Not only did they qualify, but they will be paid for ANGLERS | 2A

Audit: Leader of Iowa school meals group embezzled for years DAVENPORT (AP) — The former executive director of an Iowa nonprofit that promotes healthy, affordable school meals allegedly embezzled at least $169,000 over a 5-year period.

A state audit report released Thursday says Norma LaMantia admitted to depositing checks meant for the School Nutrition Association of Iowa in personal bank accounts.

LaMantia told auditors and a Davenport police detective last month that the money helped pay her

personal expenses and support her addiction to casino gambling.

The checks came from school districts and food companies to pay fees associated with association events.

Scott County Attorney Mike Walton said Thursday his office is reviewing the report to determine “what the appropriate action is as far as criminal charges.”

LaMantia had been the association’s executive director for a decade before resigning under pressure last year.

they’re already parking their boat trailers on the upper deck because there isn’t any more room on the lower deck. Its just an extremely good time for fishing,” said Carlton.

There are plenty of options to fish all over Union County. Those option include Twelve Mile Lake, Three Mile Lake, Green Valley and others.

Natural Resources Biologist Andy Jansen reccommended bluegill as the top target for this weekend.

“For bluegill, Green Valley’s been r e a l l y good,” said Jansen. “Then Lake Icaria, they’ve b e e n catching Jansen them over at the rock crease too.”

Most fishing traffic will be out on boats, but Iowa DNR has opened up a lot of new areas for those who wish to fish on shore.

“Green Valley, since we got that trail, put out numerous benches, if you can walk on that trail for a couple hundred yards, they’ve cleared a lot of those areas out and that’s been really popular,” said Carlton.

Piers and jetties line multiple locations that will make for great fishing on shore.

Carlton mentioned there are plenty of other options that may be less crowded but wont lack in results.

“Don’t underestimate places like Cedar Park Pond, Thayer Lake, or Orient Lake,” added Carlton.

“Places real close, at the small county parks, that people do really well on, especially when it’s windy.”

Barack Obama in 2015. A White House official told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Trump is expected to withdraw from the deal, though aides cautioned he had not yet made a final decision.

Reports of the impending move by the American president triggered statements of support for the climate accord from scores of world leaders. At a meeting of the G7 in Sicily last week, only Trump refused to reaffirm their nations’ continuing support for the Paris deal, which was signed by nearly 200 countries.

“A U.S. withdrawal from Paris will be a disappointment to the climate community, but it may also embolden other countries to fill the void left by the U.S. and take on a greater leadership role,” said Glen Peters, a Norwegian scientist who tracks global carbon emissions. “The declines in U.S. emissions in the

Today is June 1, the 152nd day of the year. So, there are 213 days left in 2017. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (May 29-June 4) in history:

Tips and tricks Small lures should be adequate for most fish this weekend. Carlton pointed out that most fish are protecting spawn and will bite pretty much anything within their vicinity.

“A lot of times if they’re spawning you are actually losing time and not catching fish by baiting your hook,” said Carlton. “You’re better off just to throw that hair jig out there; they’ll attack it and you get them on that.”

Jansen had similar advice.

“Use white line, 4-6 pound test line and then small hooks like a No. 6 gray hook and small piece of nightcrawler,” explained Jansen.

“Small bait, small hook and fish shallow. Find that rocky area along the fishing jetty and you should have really good success.”

Bluegill are the easiest fish to catch for all experience levels this weekend. As the proclaimed No. 1 target, Carlton added, “It’s my favorite fish to catch. The action’s fast, especially right now and they’ll be close to shore.”

10 years ago Six Corning High School students experienced many temperature changes underwater in Bull Shoals Lake, Arkansas, as they tested for their scuba certification. Natasha Starky-Balinger, Thomas Kibbe, Nathan Michael, Jonathan Stuart, Tyler Rhamy and Randy Wells all spent the weekend in cold water as the culmination of the scuba diving class given at Southern Prairie YMCA. They earned college credit through SWCC and a certificate.

Clearfield residents were preparing for a 125th celebration at Clearfield Methodist Church and the town simultaneously. Reminiscing about some of the events and businesses that used to be in town in years past were fun to share.

Clearfield Lion’s Club members built a playhouse they pulled to show other communities and use as a raffle to go towards community service projects.

License options and regulations An annual license retails at $19 and a three-year option costs $53.

For those interested in purchasing licenses, those can be found at various locations throughout each county. County recorders will sell licenses, as well as bait shops, TruValue, Wal-Mart and online.

Purchasing a license online will carry a small convenience fee.

Free fishing weekend doesn’t come without and rules or stipulations. Regulations are still in place such as a 15-inch minimum on bass. Those minimums may be even higher depending on the lake or pond’s rules.

Regulation booklets can be found anywhere you can buy a license as well as online at iowadnr.gov. last decade have largely happened without strong climate policies, and a withdrawal from the Paris Agreement may have minimal effect on U.S. emissions but give a hit to international morale.”

Trump, a Republican who has claimed global warming is a hoax, has moved quickly since taking office to delay or block restrictions on burning of fossil fuels enacted by his predecessor that he claims are holding back economic growth. The president has pledged to reverse decades of decline in coal mining, which now accounts for fewer than 75,000 U.S. jobs.

Almost every other industrialized economy in the world is moving in the opposite direction.

On April 30, Germany established a new national record for renewable energy use with 85 percent of all electricity produced in the county coming from renewable sources. That same month, Scotland was able to produce an electricity surplus from its wind turbines, producing 136 percent of the energy needed for its 3.3 million households.

Neither can remember the last time two local anglers qualified for a regional tournament at the same event.

However, both will continue to practice in smaller, local tournaments to keep their skills sharp.

“I’ll be doing, oh a dozen or so, just locally around here.

It’s just in preparation to practice and get ready for the next level,” said Wolf.

“Most of my tournaments are done June, July, August and September, trying to keep my skills sharp,” said Thomsen.

Both agreed that free fishing weekend is a great chance to get out and enjoy a day or two with family and friends.

“My son and I have been fishing tournaments since he was 8-9 years old,” said Thomsen. “Being able to take a child out, or your own kids, and spend the day out fishing – it’s one of the best family activities you can do.”

Jurors were deciding in a penalty phase whether the life Timothy McVeigh led before he detonated a truck bomb in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people, was a reason to spare his life. Before he became the worst terrorist in the U.S., McVeigh was a son of divorced parents, an Army sergeant who served honorably in the Gulf War and a misguided patriot. Prosecutor Vickie Behenna thought the penalty phase would be the most difficult part of the trial because Colorado jurors had been reluctant to sentence convicted killers to death, with only five people on death row at the time.

Iowa State University’s (ISU) Insect Zoo traveled to Union County to give Union County 4-H’ers and Clover Kids a hands-on, educational experience in working with insects. Both 4-H’ers and Clover Kids took advantage of the February SPIN event which took place at Afton Community Center.

Josh, ISU student and worker at ISU’s Insect Zoo, brought several live insects for the kids to learn about and touch, including hissing cockroaches, large beetles, millipedes, walking sticks, scorpions and tarantulas.

“The SPIN (SPecial INterest) program is meant to spark an interest in something new for the 4-H’er,” said Haley Jones, Union County youth and outreach coordinator. “Each month a different event, workshop or tour is planned for the 4-H’ers.

The Insect Zoo program wasn’t complete without the participants creating some artwork. Josh brought along

some maggots and the kids got to put the maggots in their favorite color of paint and dump the live maggots onto a sheet of paper. The maggots moved in all different directions across the paper leaving streaks of the paint behind, and just like that, the kids had ‘maggot art.’

Josh, who is studying entomology, encouraged the youth to think about insects in a positive way as he shared unique facts about each insect.

Last month 4-H’ers got to try their hands at cupcake decorating with Upper Crust Bakery. The following month’s SPIN events will include photography, yoga, a vet clinic and more. The SPIN program began in September and will last through June.

Grassley continues annual 99 county meetings WASHINGTON, D.C. – Sen. Chuck Grassley will hold town meetings in Iowa as part of his annual 99 county meetings.

“Representative government is a two-way street. I’m one half of the process and the people of Iowa are the other half. You can’t have representative government without dialogue between elected officials and the people we represent,” Grassley said. “I appreciate the opportunity to hold town meetings, answer questions

and take comments from Iowans.”

Grassley will be in Adair County from 8:45 to 9:45 a.m. Friday, June 2, at Adair County Courthouse, 400 Public Square, in Greenfield.

Grassley is in his 37th year of holding meetings in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties.

Grassley has held at least one meeting in every county, every year since he was first elected to serve in the U.S. Senate. He takes and answers questions on any subject raised.

No more driving HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Financial Times reported the U.S. economy appears set for a major expansion this summer if the leading industrial indicators continue rising along with the stock market. Not everyone is able to share in the good times.

Life is now really tough for Tiger Woods – he can’t drive a ball or a car.

ESPN was busted airbrushing Tiger Woods’s police mug shot to make him look better after he was booked by Florida police for impaired driving Monday. It was not a pretty sight. Tiger’s mug shot looked so forlorn and forbidding that Ford just made plans to bring back the slow, white Bronco.

Tiger Woods apologized for passing out in his Mercedes-Benz on the side of the road Sunday and getting charged with DUI after he had blacked out from a mixture of alcohol and muscle relaxers. It was bad. When Tiger woke up in the car, Bill Cosby was standing over him in his bathrobe.

Disney World in Orlando took down the statue of Bill Cosby that stood outside a Disney family pavilion for 20 years after his trial began last week in Philadelphia.

The theme park had no choice.

morning and found Bill’s statue on top of Sleeping Beauty.

Kathy Griffin faced national outrage over the photo she posted holding up a decapitated head of Trump. Her peer reaction was worse. Kathy’s fellow stand-up monologists are ashamed of her for stooping to prop comedy, which is considered even lower than singing song parodies to get a laugh.

President Trump urged Senate Republicans to drop the filibuster rule so the GOP can pass the Obamacare repeal with a simple majority. It’s easier than that. If the Republicans really want to get rid of Obamacare, they should endorse it as a conservative nonprofit and let the IRS take it down.

The White House insisted Tuesday that U.S.-German relations are fine despite Angela Merkel’s speech Sunday. The Chancellor of Germany declared that Europe should seek out its own destiny now that the U.S. and Britain can’t be relied upon. Maybe she’d like to rely on Italy and Japan in-

stead.

The U.S. military on Tuesday fired an anti-missile missile from California that intercepted an incoming missile fired from the Marshall Islands. Everyone’s happy about it. Of course it helped to have Tony Romo push the button that launched the incoming missile to make sure it got intercepted.

The Hollywood Reporter reports Netflix subscriptions are down due to so many viewer choices on social media. It won’t affect one show. The new season of “House of Cards” was just released and everybody is skipping straight to Episode 13 to see how this whole Trump mess turns out.

A Harvard University medical study published last week discovered that eating six chocolate bars every day reduces a person’s chances of contracting heart disease. We can eat our way to immortality. Soon, the only way an American is going to die is if he chokes to death on a Hershey Bar. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg called for a national salary in a commencement speech at Harvard Saturday. We’re all his slaves. Being on Facebook is just like being in prison – you spend a lot of time alone, you write on walls, and you get poked by people you don’t know every night.

Real Estate Report AGING

Adults age 50+ are expected to increase 70% from 2000 to 2030. Housing that’s affordable, physically accessible, well-located and coordinated with supports and services is in too short supply according to AARP. More than 1/3 of 50+ adults spend more than 30% of their income on housing, forcing them to cut back on food and health care. Much housing inventory lacks basic accessibility features.

The majority of those over 50 expect to continue living in their own homes as long as possible.

We need affordable housing that includes accessibility features allowing people to age in their homes or at least in the community.

Homes should have no-step entry, single-floor living, extra-wide doors and halls, accessible electric controls and switches and leverstyle door and faucet handles. Call us about the new condos.

Uniquely you hues: Decorating with your personality in mind (BPT) – Whether you realize it or not, the colors you select for your home and your personal belongings tell a lot about your personality.

In fact, according to a recent survey by PPG, 58 percent of 2,500 consumers surveyed agree that colors selected for their home, car and consumer products - such as appliances and electronics reflect their personality and style all or most of the time.

In addition, 70 percent of those surveyed agreed color selection is important when purchasing paint for their home. So, how do these color preferences come about?

PPG, a global leader in paint and color, knows that consumers’ color preferences aren’t random. One’s desire for certain colors can be quite personal, as each color evokes different emotions based on our unique experi-

ences, current events, memories and style preferences.

By determining the paint color schemes that positively reflect your personality, you can identify your unique style and ultimately add a more personal touch to your home décor.

Pulling inspiration from your wardrobe is a great way to determine your color preferences. Evaluating what clothing items are your go-to staples will help inform you of the colors and styles you find most appealing. Do you live in dark denim? Paint a rich navy accent wall in your dining room. Do you love your little black dress? A front door painted PPG Paints Black Magic (PPG1001-7) makes a stunning first impression.

Your favorite vacation spot can also serve as a muse in realizing your design sense.

If thoughts of weekends at your family cabin bring warm memories, then deep, earthy tones will likely evoke nostalgia in reminiscing about your favorite spot.

To make paint color selection easier, the PPG Paints brand offers five-color collections that help consumers see various paint hues in context with the colors of other existing home elements, such as flooring, tile and furniture. Seeing these five-color pairings next to each other allows you to easily visualize how wall and trim colors will work with other colors in a space. Arranged by personality, style and the five senses, the collections can serve as a compass for determining which groups of colors best fit your design preferences, and ultimately, your personality. * If you are a peaceful

person that craves calmness, blues may be your go-to hue.

The Blue Persuasion paint color collection by PPG Paints provides a selection of blue paint colors, including Stormy (PPG10-14), Aqua Smoke (PPG1034-5) and Gale Force (PPG1008), all perfect for creating a tranquil atmosphere to make you feel at ease. By incorporating minimalist and modern décor elements, you can further create a sense of serenity and clarity within your space. * Do you consider yourself charming and carefree?

Then you may describe your home décor as pretty in pink. The brand’s Pastel Wonders paint color collection involves a wonderful mix of pink, red and beige paint colors that create dreamy ambiances that exude elegance. Colors such

as Peach Brick (PPG18-26) and Subdued (PPG1015-4) provide the perfect muted backdrop for a bathroom or entryway. Consider adding a farmhouse feel to the space with distressed wood elements to embrace country charm and create a modern rustic look. * For spirited extroverts, plum, cherry and purple hues may adorn your space.

The PPG Paints Precious Tones paint color collection provides majestic shades that radiate passion and sophistication, such as Amethyst Haze (PPG13-23) and Heart’s Afire (PPG13-14).

Show off your bold nature by adding a touch of glam with metallic elements to infuse drama into the space.

Using the five-color pairings alone or in conjunction with the PPG Paints The Voice Of Color game, you

can discover exactly which color collection best suits your style. In examining the color schemes that are most attractive to you, the décor elements that make you feel at home, and the sentiments that you value most, among other qualifiers, you will determine which five-color collection best represents your décor preferences and ultimately which colors to incorporate into your home to best express your unique personality. Once your perfect colors are chosen, you can digitally (and easily) paint your space in a variety of colors using the PPG Paints online room painter tool. Upload your own photos, browse designer color collections, and explore popular colors by visiting www.ppgvoiceofcolor.com/ digital-color/paint-color-visualizer to use the tool.

3 ways to get your home spring ready Not only will maintenance help optimize the performance of HVAC equipment during the season, but it will also contribute to their durability for the long term. Also consider checking the air filters and replacing them as required. The U.S. Department of Energy notes by simply changing your HVAC filter, efficiency of your HVAC equipment can improve 5-15 percent. These small measures can have a significant impact on how your home performs.

(BPT) – Spring brings warmer weather and longer days. Many of us feel re-energized, ready to enjoy the outdoors with family and friends. For homeowners, spring is a great time to think about areas of the home ripe for home improvement.

Looking around the perimeter of your home as well as

the inside with a critical eye can typically help homeowners identify several areas requiring attention that may have gone unnoticed during winter.

Here are three ways homeowners can get their home ready for spring while helping to improve indoor comfort, increase the energy

efficiency and add value to their home.

Schedule equipment maintenance Seasonal use of your home’s furnace and air conditioner also means they require seasonal maintenance.

It’s recommended to schedule a HVAC tune-up with your local utility provider.

Check your roof for any ice dam damage If you live in an area where snow and icicles are common sights during the winter months, you may want to consider assessing your roof for any roof damage caused by ice dams. Ice dams form as the result of a poorly insulated attic or roof. Expensive, warm air escapes through the roof to cause any snow that has accumulated to melt. As the melted snow runs off the roof, it begins to refreeze as it nears the colder temperatures of the eaves. Ice dams can place a large amount of structural stress on your eaves trough. The excess

weight can eventually drive the eaves trough to detach from the house.

Having a professional check your roof for any damage will help identify problem areas and allow you to address them early. It may also be a good time to work on reducing your home’s air loss via the attic or roof by replacing your existing insulation with an insulation and air barrier material such as spray foam insulation.

Check your basement for water damage Assess whether your basement has experienced any water damage near windows due to melting snow. Water damage can lead to a range of problems, including the potential for mold growth and mildew. Consider replacing your basement’s insulation with closed-cell spray foam insulation like that available from Icynene.

Closed-cell spray foam insulation is recognized by FEMA as a flood-resistant material, making it an ideal solution to help maintain comfort in often-overlooked basements as well as reduce the risk of water damage.

Spray foam insulation provides both insulating val-

ue and air sealing in one step to help create a comfortable living space while limiting air loss and potential mold growth. Spray foam insulation, which is growing quickly in popularity among homeowners, is a high-performance material that delivers year-round energy efficiency benefits. Plus, spray foam can be used in a variety of areas in the home, such as basements, attics and walls.

Spray foam insulation performs for the life of the property, ensuring homeowners can enjoy comfortable indoor temperatures all year round without overrunning their heating and cooling equipment. The foam insulation material limits air loss through the attics, prevents potential water damage in areas such as basements and helps create a comfortable living space.

Homeowners interested in understanding more about the performance and energy-efficiency advantages can download Icynene’s comprehensive home insulation mobile app, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. More information about Icynene spray foam insulation can be found at Icynene.com.

HOROSCOPE For Friday, June 2, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)This is a challenging day at work. You feel it in the morning, and you feel it in the afternoon as well. Bummer. Yes, happy hour beckons strongly!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Be patient with kids today, because there will be challenges. Likewise, this is a rocky day for romance. Patience is your best ally to help you keep a lid on things.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Do your best to keep the peace at home and with family members today because someone will be cranky. This mood starts in the morning and continues into the afternoon. Not good.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)You might be short-tempered in the morning, which in turn makes dealings with someone older a bit strained.

Someone might even criticize you. Hang in there.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) For some reason, this is not a happy money day for you. You might quarrel about finances or a possession in the morning. In the afternoon, you feel broke or squeezed. Good luck.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign; however, you likely will be at odds with a parent or boss in the morning. Best to zip thy lip. In the afternoon, an older family member might be on your case. Oh well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Avoid controversial subjects today, especially about politics, religion and racial issues.

They will only create arguments and resentment. ‘Nuff said.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Be patient with a female friend or acquaintance today so to avoid an argument. Do not fall into worry mode or critical thinking this afternoon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A squabble with someone in a position of authority might occur this morning.

Don’t let this get you down in the afternoon. It’s important for Sagittarians to be optimistic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Steer clear of controversial subjects today. Likewise, don’t argue about travel plans.

Nevertheless, criticism from others might be a downer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Avoid arguments about inheritances and shared property today, because they will simply be a waste of time.

Postpone decisions for tomor-

row, which is a great day!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be accommodating with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign.

Avoid family arguments in the morning. Avoid discussions with bosses in the afternoon.

(Yikes!)

YOU BORN TODAY You are creative, imaginative and sensitive about what others think. Something you’ve been involved with for about nine

years will end this year. You will scrutinize old values and ideas you thought were important. This is a year to be more involved with others. Giving may become more important.

Get ready for a fresh, new cycle waiting in your future!

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: My concern is cleaning my mother’s RHINESTONE JEWELRY. I would like to wear it to my granddaughter’s wedding in a month. – Marnie W. in The Villages, Fla. Hello to my friends in The Villages! Lovely costume jewelry from bygone days often was made from rhinestones – lead glass or crystals glued into a setting of base metal, gold or silver.

Careful cleaning is necessary. Use a solution of mild soap and warm water, and a soft-bristle brush. Avoid getting the setting wet; you don’t want to loosen the glue holding in the stone.

Dry facedown on a fluffy towel.

Antique or valuable pieces should be professionally cleaned. – Heloise IRON IT OUT Dear Heloise: My clothes iron is clogged – help!

What’s the best way to clean it? – Carolyn D. in North Carolina Carolyn, don’t despair!

Help is on the way. First off, have you read the operating instructions that came with the iron? It’s always best to read them first.

If the booklet is not avail-

able, and you can’t reach the manufacturer on the phone, let’s go to my ol’ standby: vinegar! Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, and pour into the water well.

Turn the iron on high, hold it horizontally over the sink and let it steam.

Flush out the steam vent by depressing the steam button several times. Unplug the iron, let it cool and empty out the mixture if any remains. Rinse the reservoir by pouring in fresh water several times.

Caution: Do this method only sporadically. Too much vinegar could corrode the inner workings of the iron.

Vinegar is my go-to household helper. It is cheap, readily available and nontoxic.

It took some time to place everything and put the backing on, but it sure is a conversation-starter!

Rare or vintage T-shirts don’t make the cut. – Benny C. in Philadelphia FOIL TOIL Dear Heloise: Crumple aluminum foil to scrub the bottoms of pots and pans if you have burnt or baked-on residue. This is a cheap alternative to expensive commercial scrubbers. – Helen and Mike T. in Pennsylvania SLIPPERY SOLES Dear Heloise: My biggest beef is about getting new shoes: The bottoms of the soles are so slippery! I’m just afraid I am going to fall.

I have to scuff the soles on the concrete to break them in. – Rose H. in California (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Neal McRae accepts call at Crest Baptist Church Crest Baptist Church is excited to announce the call of Neal McRae as associate pastor beginning June 1.

“In the 50-plus years of Crest’s ministry, this is the first time a second full-time staff member has served here. It is exciting to see how God has been moving and growing us to this point, and I believe that Neal will be an exceptional co-laborer,” Pastor Chuck Spindler said.

McRae will become the director of the Light Company that has a ministry among Southwestern Community College students and will work with the youth at Crest.

“Through our interviews and visits with Neal, it was obvious that God has been directing us to a man who has the same passions that we have, and a heart to make disciples. Having some Midwest roots was also a plus,” Spindler said.

McRae’s parents, Chris and Sue McRae, are from Iowa and Minnesota and met as students at Iowa State University. They returned to Iowa in 2016 to serve Southern Baptist churches through the Baptist Convention of Iowa Eagle Ave., south of Creston, Rev. Delores Doench, pastor.

and live in Johnston.

McRae is a May graduate from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, Texas, with a Master of Divinity (MDiv).

Growing up in a home of a pastor and missionary, he has had a broad exposure to ministry throughout his life and sensed a call to vocational ministry while in high school as his family served on the mission field in West Asia. While in college at New Mexico State University, McRae served as a youth ministry intern at Calvary Baptist in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and in the Baptist Student Union at NMSU. During his seminary training, he was an active volunteer at Hope Church in Ft. Worth.

Through these experiences, McRae has developed a heart for discipleship, following the Biblical model of multiplication. He has been married six years to Bethany, who is a native of New Mexico. She has a degree in education from New Mexico State University.

“We’re excited about what God is doing in Creston, and we can’t wait to be a part of it,” McRae said.

Panther junior takes seventh at state ■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

MARSHALLTOWN — Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s Ashton Carter set high goals for this season.

They looked a bit unobtainable after day one of the Class 4A girls state golf tournament as Carter sat outside the top 10.

Carter recovered in fine fashion during Tuesday’s second round.

It helped the Panthers junior chalk off the goal she set for this season.

Having a shine bronze-colored medal around her neck at the meet’s conclusion validated all of the hard work Carter put in after last year’s state meet, where she placed “It’s a huge dream accomplished,” Carter said. “I wanted to shoot between first and 10th and I did it.”

Carter finished seventh, carding a two-day total of 194.

Washington’s Sarah Nacos was the state champion with rounds of 78 and 74, good for a total of 152.

It was Nacos’ third straight state title.

“It means a lot,” Carter said.

Carter dropped four strokes from Tuesday’s first round, carding an 89 in day two.

“What a phenomenal finish,” said Creston/Orient-Macksburg coach Jon Thomson. “A lot of girls could’ve buckled under the first day round.”

It showed the mental fortitude the promising junior has.

“She knows how to get to the grindstone and work and grind through some tough days and for it to come out awesome,” Thomson said.

Carter’s dedication in the offseason annd within the season, was rewarded.

“You like to see a girl that works that hard in a sport that she loves to place in the top 10,” Thomson said. “It’s really phenomenal.”

Carter was thankful for the time and effort put in by her parents, Rick Carter and Michelle Mostek, for helping aid her growth.

“I could not have done it without either of my parents and all of the work my dad’s put in with me,” Carter said.

Carter noted she left a number of shots on the course, but was able to find ways to post a good score.

“I could’ve done way better, played way better than what I did,” Carter said. “I did what I could do. I scrambled.”

■ MA’s Schafer takes third, day score of 176.

Shields sixth in Class 1A

MARSHALLTOWN — Mount Ayr senior Tessa Shields and junior Abbey Schafer are more than just teammates on the Raiderette girls golf team.

Driven to push each other on the course in every aspect, friends off of it, they have one more thing they can share together.

Being state tournament medalists.

Schafer placed third, while Shields finished sixth in the Class 1A meet Wednesday at the American Legion Golf Course in Marshalltown.

Schafer had a two-day total of 170. Shields had a two-

West Monona’s Samantha Knight won with a two-day score of 151. New London’s Casey Noble was second with a 162.

“Tessa has been a great role model, not just in the sport, but outside of it as well,” Schafer said.

Shields’ work ethic has rubbed off on Schafer.

“She’s one heck of a golfer,” Schafer said. “She’s shown me that no matter what, working hard towards everything you want will pay off.”

As golfers, Schafer and Shields will compare notes about the holes they’ve played and what happened.

They both sharpen each others games.

“It’s really awesome playing with someone who you can to go and say, ‘How’d you play this hole?’ or af-

ter, talk around and know what they’re talking about,” Shields said. “We compare shots, compare parts.”

“I know I wouldn’t play as well if I wouldn’t have someone pushing me. She’s the same way. We’ve been back and forth every tournament.”

Shields has savored her time with Schafer.

“It means a lot to have a friend and a teammate like MA | 9A

PANTHER BASEBALL

Roadrunners sprint past Panthers Panthers fall on consecutive days

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Interstate 35’s Mason Cassady threw strikes from the very beginning of Thursday’s nonconference baseball game with hosts Creston.

The Panther baseball team put the ball in play fairly consistently, but did not muster enough offense to score and keep up with the visiting Roadrunners in a 10-0 loss.

“Mason is sneaky. He has good movement on his curveball. He’s got a good fastball. He can throw the change,” Interstate 35 coach Jeff Douglas said.

Cassady struck out six and walked one Panther.

The Panthers only advanced past second base twice and had five hits.

Creston coach Steve Birchard believes he needs to take some time in the coming days to talk to his team about their mentality and approach at the plate to start seeing better results offensively.

“I don’t think we’re mentally prepared to hit and I take credit for that because we haven’t had enough time where we’ve talked about that,” Birchard said.

Both Creston’s Beau Barncastle and Cassady were throwing the ball over the plate where the covered cowhide could be struck. Interstate 35 took advantage BASEBALL | 8A

A weight was lifted off of Carter’s shoulders with her top-10 finish.

“It’s a relief,” she said.

Playing at state for a second straight season motivates Carter going into her senior season next spring.

“Being back here at state, getting to come back is a huge, huge thing for me,” Carter said. “It means a lot to be able to come back. I want to keep improving, come back next year.”

The Panthers placed sixth as a team with a two-day score of 806.

her,” Shields said.

They took different paths to their finishes Wednesday.

Schafer struggled through the early part of her round, unable to dial it in like she did Tuesday in day one.

“I didn’t pick it up as fast as I did (Tuesday),” Schafer said. “It took me awhile to come back.”

There was a stretch she said where little went right, leaving her flustered.

“It got in my head and played a mental game,” Schafer said. “For a little bit there, it was one bad shot after another. It took me five or six holes to bounce back from.”

Visits with assistant coach Jodie Geist allowed Schafer to relax.

“Mrs. Geist helped me significantly when I was playing my head games,” Schafer said. “She calmed me down, settled me down, told me I was going to be OK, I was going to be able to pull back

first.

After Barncastle hit a batter in the second inning, both Tanner Beem and Levi Sandquist reached base via bunts.

Gideon Smith singled home Darian Brown, and the Roadrunners added two more on consecutive groundouts to short by Brayden Egli and Cassady.

Brock Bush followed that with a single to push the advantage to 4-0 and Brown singled with the bases loaded to make it 5-0.

Birchard inserted reliever Jack Frey into the game.

Frey got out the first batter he faced and ended up tossing four innings.

“He’s a little deceptive.

He throws the ball, keeps it out of the middle of the zone,” Birchard said.

But Interstate 35 figured out how to hit Frey and put up five runs against him before he was pulled in favor of Gavin Gillam.

Brown drove in a run with a walk and Beem hit a resounding double deep to the gap in left center with two outs. That scored three runs

two-day team score of 736.

Dubuque Wahlert was second with a 745 and Washington third with a 767.

“Anytime that we can come back on the second day improve and do well is great,” Thomson said. “Alright, we’re not going to catch the leaders, but if we can catch another team, that would be great.”

The Panthers played much more relaxed on day two.

“I don’t think the nerves got to them as much,” Thomson said.

Reaching state as a team and placing sixth was a success for the Panthers.

“I’m a little sad for the season to end, but excited for the next season to start,” Thomson said. “Anytime you can end it at the state tournament is a great way to end the season.”

Even making state was a goal that looked out of reach at one point.

“We started really slow. It was not possible six weeks ago,” Carter said. “I’m proud of the entire team.”

Elmwood, with its rolling hills, and holes that featured many uphill approach shots into undulating greens tested the Panthers over the 36hole tournament.

“A lot of the hill shots are really at a slant,” said junior Sophia Groumoutis. “The greens are very, very hard and fast. They have a lot of bumps in them. They’re not straight.”

Many mature trees along the rough put a premium on accuracy off the tee.

“You have to hit the fairways,” Groumoutis said.

The Panthers adapted better on day two.

“The course was awesome,” Groumoutis said.

“We knew more about the course, where to hit it and how to hit it on certain hills, certain shots.”

Club selection was a challenge with the hills and awkward approach angles, as well as physically testing.

“It gets really tiring, especially walking it,” said freshman Sydney Hartsock.

“You’ve got to focus hard and figure out what club you’re going to hit.”

This year’s two trips around Elmwood at state is one the Panthers relished.

“It’s great to be here again, be able to play with my teammates, the whole team,” Groumoutis said.

“Hopefully next year we’ll be back.”

Added Hartsock: “The experience was nice. I’m hop-

out of it.”

Schafer could have been broken mentally and let the round fall apart, but she kept with it.

“So much of golf is overcoming adversity,” Schafer said. “(Wednesday) was going downhill the first five, six, seven holes. Pulling back, being able to keep my wits about me was good.”

Schafer’s game came back late in the round. A beautiful chip on the par five 12 led to a tap-in birdie.

“My chipping and putting helped me out,” Schafer said. “It was a great feeling that a great part of my game came into play there.”

She parred her final two holes.

“I was able to put myself in a good mindset the next two holes I had left,” Schafer said.

Shields was steady and consistent from her opening hole, which was on the 16th.

“I started on a par three and parred that one and the next one,” Shields said.

“That gave me a lot of confidence in myself.”

S h e avoided the big number on the card.

“Starting out on top was the key to Shields the whole round,” Shields said. “I stuck around the whole day.”

Shields was steady throughout her round, routinely placing shots where she could get up and down around the green easily.

“She putted very well, getting down in one or two putts,” said Mount Ayr coach Scott Giles. “She put herself in there where she putts she had were makable putts.”

At one point later in the round, Shields hit a poor shot, something that was a rarity.

“On hole 13, a par three, she hit it right off the toe of the club. She looked at me and said, ‘That was my only bad shot of the day.’” Giles said. “She hadn’t really had any bad shots. She was al-

ways around the green. She was pretty solid.”

Schafer’s struggles in the early and middle of the round left her wondering if she would be in the mix for a top finish.

As the scores trickled in after the round, Schafer knew she was in good shape.

“I thought I had thrown it away and there was no way I snuck in the top five,” Schafer said. “When I saw the scores, it was a confidence booster. Everyone had some bad rounds and mine wasn’t as bad as I thought.”

Giles knew where Shields placed, along with Schafer, but Shields had no idea.

“With this live scoring, I was keeping track of stuff. I looked at it and knew where they were going to be,” Giles said. “When the awards were ready, Tessa said she didn’t know what her place was. I told her just to wait. … They were very anxious, very excited when their names were called.”

When Shields was announced as sixth, it caught her off guard.

and Interstate 35 led 9-0 after six innings.

Cassady added an RBI single in the seventh make 10-0 the final tally.

Creston’s best scoring chance was negated by heads up defensive plays by the Roadrunners.

In the fourth, Rylan Luther took off from third toward home on a throw to second base by Roadrunner catcher Gideon Smith to second baseman Levi Sandquist, the latter who fired home to nab Luther.

In the same frame, a bouncing grounder up the middle by Dustin Merritt was gloved by Interstate 35 shortstop Elijah Smith, who fired to first for the out.

Beem made a deep scoop of the one-hop throw to end the inning and strand Kadon Hulett at third.

Bryce Fitzgerald tallied two of Creston’s five hits.

The Panther junior varsity team fell 9-3.

James McDonald had a two-RBI double, Fitzgerald

had a hit and Cole Strider had a hit.

Cael Kralik took the loss on the hill. Matthew Kunz pitched in relief.

UP NEXT — Creston (23, 0-2) heads to Class 3A top-ranked Harlan (7-0, 4-0) for a doubleheader today (Thursday).

Josh Degase threw a complete game for the Cardinals on his way to a victory.

“The kid (Degase) threw a lot of first-pitch strikes, got ahead of us and we didn’t get good swings on him,” Birchard said.

Brenden McDowell drove in two runs with a single and Cody Crawford drove in the other.

Also with one single were Jaden Driskell, Luke Latham, Dustin Merritt and Michael Scherer. Hits didn’t turn into runs for the Panthers.

The Panthers hurt themselves with five errors as well.

Schafer noted she was equally shocked realizing she had placed third.

NASCAR THIS WEEK

The Daytona Beach News-Journal’s Godwin Kelly & Ken Willis have covered NASCAR for nearly 60 years combined. godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com ken.willis@news-jrnl.com

CHARLOTTE

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask ourselves

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED

Is the seal broken? More wins coming for the No. 3?

GODSPEAK: New crew chief, new gofor-it attitude. Yes, I think more wins are possible.

KEN’S CALL: Maybe a good break, such as Sunday night’s fuel-run victory, is what a team needs to get on a little roll.

Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

Thumbs-up to the 2018 schedule changes?

Yes, and in a definite modern oddity, everyone I've heard from considers it an improvement. That never happens.

Replacing Richmond and Chicago with Indianapolis and Las Vegas for Weeks 26 and 27 is a great move … at this time.

I include the “at this time” because, not that long ago, Richmond (great track) and Chicago (big media market) seemed like a perfect way to end the regular season and get into the playoffs. And who knows, in a few years the Brickyard-Vegas combo might seem stale.

Any chance Dillon becomes a playoff threat?

GODSPEAK: Richard Childress Racing has several months to fine-tune and Dillon could get up to speed by the fall.

KEN’S CALL: Remember: “fuel-run victory.” Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Wasn’t Chase Elliott gonna be the next first-time winner?

GODSPEAK: Yes, but Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Austin Dillon beat him to the punch. Eventually, he will have more wins than those two combined.

KEN’S CALL: If you think you’re smart, try to figure out auto racing.

Austin Dillon celebrates with his No. 3 Chevy team after winning the Coca-Cola 600 with a mileage run. Dale Earnhardt was the last driver to win in the No. 3, 17 years ago. [NASCAR

But another road course?

GETTY IMAGES/STREETER LECKA]

For logistical purposes (i.e. rain delays), I would rather see Daytona’s July race moved to the road course, and will keep lobbying, but moving Charlotte’s fall race off the quad-oval seems like a good idea … at this time (“there he goes again”). It’s not like there’s a mammoth construction project involved. If it doesn’t work, put the barricades back up and return to the quad next time.

1. No. 3 returns Austin Dillon won his first NASCAR Cup Series race and returned the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevy back to Victory Lane for the first time since Dale Earnhardt’s last triumph on Oct. 15, 2000 at Talladega. “I never imagined to be here at the 600 Victory Lane,” said Dillon.

2. Amazing stats Dillon led all of two laps, including the money lap. He got the lead from Jimmie Johnson, who ran out of gas on Lap 399 (of 400). Dillon’s Vegas odds to win were

100-to-1. Martin Truex Jr. has led 756 laps in the last three 600s. Dillon became the ninth winner in 12 races this season.

3. Coke 28.5 Chase Elliott and Brad Keselowski ran only 28.5 miles of the scheduled 600 because something on Jeffrey Earnhardt’s No. 33 Chevrolet exploded and sent a piece of debris into Elliott’s No. 24 Chevy, which spewed fluid and sent Keselowski’s Ford ramming into Elliot’s rear bumper.

FEUD OF THE WEEK

— Godwin Kelly, godwin. kelly@news-jrnl.com

THREE THINGS TO WATCH

W H AT ’ S O N TA P CUP SERIES: AAA 400 Drive for Autism SITE: Dover International Speedway (1-mile oval) TV SCHEDULE: Friday, practice (Fox Sports 2, 10:30 a.m.), qualifying (Fox Sports 1, 3:30 p.m.). Saturday, practice (Fox Sports 1, 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.). Sunday, race (pre-race coverage begins on Fox Sports 1, 11:30 a.m.; green flag, Fox Sports 1, 1:15 p.m.)

1. Jimmie’s monster

Johnson

Jimmie Johnson has always liked racing at Dover International Speedway, that onemile, high-banked, concrete oval. He swept both Dover Cup Series races as a rookie in 2002 and most recently won there in 2015.

He has collected 10 Cup Series "Monster Mile" wins in the last 16 years. In 30 starts he has 21 top-10 finishes, led 3,093 laps and completed 98 percent of laps run. His 10 wins are the most he’s won at any track.

JIMMIE JOHNSON VS. ERIK JONES: Jones’ No. 77 Toyota was pitted in front of Johnson’s No. 48 Chevy. Johnson complained a few times that Jones was in his way trying to leave pit road.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: It was one of those odd little things that happens during a race.

The teams grumbled, then worked it out in the second half of the 600 to give Johnson more room to get out.

2. Gibbs watch One of the high-performance teams in the Cup Series, Joe Gibbs Racing, remains winless in 2017. JGR drivers have won two special events, but not one of the 12 regular-season races. They’re closing in. Three Gibbs drivers scored top-five finishes at Charlotte. “We just ran our own race and did what we needed to do for what we had going on and come up short,” Kyle Busch said.

XFINITY: OneMain Financial 200 SITE: Dover International Speedway TV SCHEDULE: Friday, practice (Fox Sports 2, 9:30 a.m.), practice (Fox Sports 1, 1:30 p.m.). Saturday, qualifying (Fox Sports 1, 10 a.m.), race (Fox Sports 1, 1 p.m.)

CAMPING WORLD TRUCKS: Bar Harbor 200 SITE: Dover International Speedway TV SCHEDULE: Friday, qualifying (Fox Sports 1, 2:30 p.m.), race (Fox Sports 1, 5:30 p.m.)

Jimmie Johnson is no stranger to Victory Lane at Dover. He’s made that visit 10 times in 30 careers starts. [NASCAR GETTY

GODWIN’S PICKS F O R D OV E R

3. Junior update

in the race, considered one of NASCAR’s crown jewel events. Earnhardt will retire at season’s end. He thanked teammate Jimmie Johnson for helping get his No. 88 car up to speed and was emotional about seeing the No. 3, his Dad’s number, win the race. “Congratulations to Austin, man, that is awesome for RCR,” he said.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 10th in his final Coca-Cola 600, meaning he went 0-for-19

Deere to buy German road construction equipment maker NEW YORK (AP) — John Deere, famous for its green and yellow farm tractors, will pay almost $5 billion to buy Germany’s Wirtgen, a maker of pavers, compacters and other machinery used in road construction.

Moline, Illinois’ Deere & Co. says the deal will help its construction business expand internationally. Wirtgen’s machines are used to

lay concrete and asphalt for highways and roads, crush large rocks and to flatten roads after hot asphalt has been laid down.

Deere says it plans to keep Wirtgen’s brands, employees and its business operations.

The deal is expected to close before the end of January, and values Wirtgen at about $5.2 billion including debt.

Separate trials ordered for parents of girl starved to death WEST DES MOINES (AP) — The adoptive parents of a West Des Moines teenager who officials say was starved to death will have separate trials.

The Des Moines Register reports that a judge issued the ruling Wednesday for separate trials from 42-yearold Nicole Finn and 46-yearold Joseph Finn in the October death of 16-year-old

Natalie Finn.

Nicole Finn’s trial on first-degree murder and other charges has been set for Oct. 23. Joseph Finn’s trial on charges of kidnapping, neglect or abandonment and child endangerment has been set for Nov. 27.

A medical examiner found that Natalie Finn died from denial of critical care.
