Technology helping prevent bad checks

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

Technology can put two marks in the win column against preventing theft.

Union County is experiencing record low numbers of bad checks, which Union County Attorney Tim Kenyon credits to stores electronically transmitting the check as soon as it comes in.

“So far this year for bad checks, we have had less than a dozen complaints filed in Union County,” Kenyon said. “There were

times in the past where we would file more than a dozen a month.”

But with the decline in bounced checks, there has been an increase in shoplifting cases for 2014. Thanks to video surveillance, most retailers in Creston have strong evidence for Kenyon to prosecute shoplifting cases.

“People do not realize that a

number of merchants have video surveillance systems,” Kenyon said. “We can use it if there is a problem. It makes prosecuting the case relatively easy when I have a video.”

According to Iowa Code 714.2, shoplifting is the theft of a property not exceeding $200. Writing bad checks and physically taking

Vic Belger, head baseball coach at Creston for 21 years, throws out the first pitch Wednesday evening prior to the Panthers taking on Southeast Polk.

to respond, depending on the amount of items taken, a citation may be written or they are taken to jail. It is at the officer’s discretion.”

Fifth degree theft is defined as a simple misdemeanor and consists of two potential penalties.

The first is up to 30 days in jail, or because there is no mandatory sentencing, it is possible that no jail time will be served.

There is a mandatory fine of at least $50, but not exceeding $500.

Creston head baseball coach Steve Birchard and the current Panther team hosted a ceremony Wednesday evening honoring the five consecutive conference championship teams at Creston from 1989 to 1993.

Vic Belger, coach at Creston for 21 years, was the guest of honor and threw out the first pitch. (See photo, left).

Belger ranks seventh on the state’s all-time career wins list with a record of 920-319 at Creston and three other schools. He retired as Creston’s coach after the 2003 season.

About 20 players from the teams from 1989 to 1993 were in attendance last night.

These players and their families were guests at a cookout during the 5:30 p.m. junior varsity game.

It has been 25 years since the 1989 team began that run of league championships .

All players were honored on the field prior to the Creston varsity game against Southeast Polk. (See group photo, below.)

Southeast Polk is coached by two former Panthers, Scott Belger and Dave Hartman.

Southeast Polk defeated the Panthers 15-1 in five innings.

The Ram victory was fueled by two, three-run homeruns. For more details from the game and additional photos, see page 7A.

MURRAY — Residents north of Fifth Street in Murray are under a boil advisory from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources after a water main break Wednesday. The break caused a loss of water pressure which can potentially allow bacteria to enter the system. Repairs were made today and the system is being flushed.

IDNR said to bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. The water may be used for bathing.

SWCC to increase tuition for 2014-15

By BAILEY POOLMAN

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

An increase in college tuition was proposed and approved during Southwestern Community College’s regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday.

The proposal covers fee increases for resident and nonresident credit hours, changed fees for embedded online content, billing changes for registered nurse (RN) and licensed practical nurse (LPN) fees and new fees for CPR for commercial electrical and carpentry classes.

Krejci The changes will go into effect fall 2015.

The increase will add $6 per credit hour for both resident and nonresident.

“That’s a 3.9 percent increase in resident, and it would bring our total tuition fees for next year to $160 per credit hour,” said SWCC Chief Financial Officer Teresa Krejci.

For nonresident students, the increase is 3.7 percent, which would increase total tuition and fees to $167 per credit hour.

According to the proposal, the increases are based on several criteria. The criteria include attaining standards set to attract and retain quality instructors, benefits from technology and providing a quality learning environment. Another criteria is the “rate will allow

Today is June 12, the 163rd day of the year. There are 202 days left in 2014. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (June 9-15) in history.

“Shoplifting has been fairly constant for us,” Ver Meer said. “We do see an increase during the holiday season.”

Time management While technology has curved the use of bad checks and helped Kenyon gather evidence against shoplifting, the increase in shoplift cases is time consuming.

“Over the years we developed a fairly complete process for handling bad checks,” Kenyon said. “It was a well organized approach and it did not take a lot of time.”

When a bad check comes in, Kenyon fills out the paperwork, sets a hearing date and makes sure the defendent shows up for court.

The court preparation and need to gather evidence is minimal.

For shoplifting, Kenyon said it starts with an arrest and communication with

Dr. E.R. Pennebaker, 101, and his wife Bessie, 96, of Lenox celebrated their 80th

jci said. “When they come to school, they will get that in the first week. We are proposing, instead of paying that at the bookstore, to go ahead and add that to their fee.”

Currently, nursing students pay $10 for a clinical identification badge and syllabi during orientation. According to the proposal, making the $10 a fee, rather than charging it separately, would allow students to charge it on their student account.

The fee would increase from $225 to $235 for RN students and $175 to $185 for LPN students.

Change An embedded online content fee will be added to students taking courses where the content is used. The online content consists of additional course content and labs linked directly to the online course.

“It’s like a book. It’s online and it’s actually embedded into their course,” Krejci said, “instead of buying the book, or trying to have an access code for their materials on their online classes.”

Previously, students had to

get an access card from the bookstore at SWCC, go to a website, register using long access codes and sync coursework with the appropriate class. This process cuts the time down by making it more directly available.

“It’s actually expanding.

More instructors are using it, and they’re able to choose the type of content that they want,” Krejci said.

The online embedding, a program through Iowa Community College Online Consortium, will be a varying fee, but will generally fall between $40 and $117 per semester.

New A new fee will be added to commercial electrical systems and carpentry level IV courses. The fee will cover CPR training during the spring semester courses.

Then Kenyon must gather the video evidence and determine which store representatives will be present for court to make a prosecution.

“We have to play the event back in real time and we have to play the whole video for the court,” Kenyon said.

He estimated there has been at least one court case a week involving shoplifting where video evidence was played for the court since March.

“It’s not magic or rocket science,” Kenyon said. “The video surveillence is set up in high traffic areas. It’s for safety, it’s for identification and if you are stealing, you are going to get caught.”

The $55 fee is recommended because it will allow students to be more employable, instead of having to get CPR separately.

OPINION

Lots going on over the next week or so Tomorrow is Friday the 13th — always a good day for those Friday the 13th sales. I don’t believe in the bad luck part of the day. I have just as good/bad luck on Friday the 13th as I do any other day. It is the only Friday the 13th we have in 2014.

Garage sales Friday is also the start of this weekend’s big citywide garage sale weekend here in Creston. The event always brings a lot of people to town looking to snatch up some good bargains from “one man’s junk is another man’s treasure” department.

June 14 Saturday is Flag Day. With several ceremony’s going on around the area, the local Elks Lodge will have one Saturday evening.

Barnstormers Saturday night is also Creston/

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

southwest Iowa night at the Iowa Barnstormers game in Des Moines.

About 250 area folks will be attending the game and tailgate. The Creston High School dance group “The Peppers” will be performing between the first and second quarter of the game.

We will also have the honorable mayor of Creston (Warren Woods) participating in the pork chop toss and Mitchell Graham representing our area in the pie-eating contest. It should be a fun evening for all.

Sunday

This Sunday is Father’s Day. It’s a great time to say “thanks” to your dear ol dad for the wonderful things he has done for you over the years.

It is always a great day to barbecue or have a nice meal for dad. Most dad’s are not that “picky” about gifts for Father’s Day. I can never think of anything for my sons to get me. Like most dads, I have everything I want or need. Spending time with the family is still the best thing I could get!

Relay Creston Relay for Life is coming up Friday, June 20. The event always has a good turn out. Hopefully the weather will hold out. It is tough to light those luminaries if it is raining!

Concert The Party in the Park at McKin-

ley Park is Saturday, June 21. There will be three great tribute bands this year. If you like the Eagles, Heart and Journey you are in for a great night.

I would guess those groups have had 50 or more hit singles over the years. All the good rains we have had recently have made the park a nice place to be with the grass and foliage really hitting their early summer peak.

Tickets for the evening are only $15 and can be bought at the Creston News Advertiser office. It’s a good deal for about six hours of music.

Arizona I had a chance over Memorial weekend to go visit some friends in Arizona. You could see how dry it was from the air on my way into

Phoenix. I went up north of Phoenix to visit some trout streams that I frequent. But, the usual streams were down to just a trickle.

I’ve been going there for more than 30 years and I’ve never seen it this dry. I had dinner with some friends one night at a small Italian bistro, and in strolls former Supreme Court Chief Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and sits down about four feet from where I’m having dinner. That’s never happened to me in Creston!

If that area of the country doesn’t get some rain pretty soon, that whole place is going to be a tender box.

Hillary Clinton gave a gripping interview to ABC’s Diane Sawyer HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Hard Choices by Hillary Clinton hit the book stores this week about her time as Secretary of State. She found out Tuesday it’s also the title of a porn movie in the Eighties about a lusty professor and the co-eds in his class. This is the last time she asks her husband for a good book title.

Hillary Clinton gave a gripping interview to ABC’s Diane Sawyer to launch her new book Hard Choices. It generated huge interest at book stores. People slept on the sidewalks in New York for Hillary’s book signings, just like the Clintons did after they left the White House.

Hillary Clinton told ABC’s Diane Sawyer Monday she and Bill were dead broke and deeply in debt when they left the White House. All she had was an eight million dollar book deal, a Senate seat, and the clothes on her back.

For days they had to eat at Kentucky Fried Pheasant.

2014

Math is math For people who use the word “science” as a bludgeon and trumpet their strict commitment to fact and reason, the Obama administration and its supporters are strangely incapable of rational analysis of new climate-change regulations.

President Barack Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency released draft rules last week to create a vast new regulatory apparatus with no input from Congress — in other words, to govern in its accustomed highhanded, undemocratic manner.

The goal is to reduce carbon emissions from existing power plants, in particular coal-fired plants, to 30 percent below 2005 levels by 2030.

The rhetoric around the rules has involved self-congratulation about how they are the inexorable result of taking climate science and the reality of dangerous global warming seriously. “Science is science,” President Obama said in an openand-shut tautology about global warming during an interview with New York Times columnist Tom Friedman. By the same token, math is math, and the new regulations make no sense.

While the regulations are stringent enough to impose real economic costs — especially in states that produce coal or heavily use coal power, or whose economies have grown relatively robustly since 2005 — they have almost no upside in fighting global warming. That’s because the U.S. is only part of the global carbon-emissions picture, and a diminishing one at that.

We account for roughly a sixth of global emissions, and our emissions

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

have fallen the past few years more than those of any other major country. In fact, we’ve already achieved about half of the administration’s 30 percent goal, in part through the boom in natural gas, which produces half the carbon emissions of coal.

The regulations aim to cut carbon emissions by 700 million tons by 2030. That sounds like a formidable number only if it is abstracted from the context of the rest of the world.

As Robert Bryce of the Manhattan Institute notes, carbon emissions increased worldwide by about 700 million tons in 2011 alone. China increased its emissions by 3 billion tons from 2006 to 2012.

In D-Day terms, the regulations are like trying to roll back the Nazis by sending two landing craft to Normandy and doing some TV interviews. Even accepting the assumptions of the so-called globalwarming consensus, the regulations will have an imperceptible effect on global temperature by 2100.

The regulatory fight against global warming runs up against this reality: Anything we do on our own short of returning to a subsistence economy is largely meaningless, while we can’t force other countries to kneecap their economies based on a fashionable cause with no immediate bearing on the well-being of their often desperately impover-

ished citizens.

In an attempt to square this circle, supporters of the new EPA rules say they are an exercise of American leadership that will encourage other countries to crimp their economies, especially the world’s biggest emitter, China.

How has the power of example worked so far? We are a liberal democracy. We allow a robustly free press. We don’t imprison dissenters.

We don’t steal the industrial secrets of other countries and give them to companies owned by government insiders. In all these things, we provide a model for Beijing, and have done so for a long time. Yet the Chinese Politburo stubbornly pursues what it believes is in its best interest.

Why will China be shamed by our pointlessly self-flagellating new policy on power plants into adopting economically harmful regulations of its own based on speculative models showing a far-off threat of higher temperatures?

The best policy for the U.S. is not command-and-control regulation, as economics writer Jim Manzi points out, but maintaining an environment favorable to technological innovation. No one would have predicted the fracking revolution of the past few years that has both displaced coal and benefited the broader economy. But the self-declared adherents of “science” prefer the satisfaction of pointlessly selfdefeating gestures.

New diabetes statistics show rising tide of disease Driven by surging obesity, an aging population and doubly high risks among blacks and Latinos, the American epidemic of diabetes has leaped to historic heights in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday. Diabetes mellitus now afflicts 29 million Americans — 9.3 percent of the nation’s population.

And 1 in 4 don’t know they have the disease, which is thought to increase the risk of heart attack or stroke as much as fourfold.

Releasing a welter of new statistics on the disease, the agency said an additional 86 million American adults—nearly 1 in 3 — has prediabetes, a condition in which blood sugar levels are abnormally elevated but below the criteria for diagnosing diabetes.Between 15 percent and 30 percent of those with prediabetes will go on to develop the full-fledged metabolic disorder within five years, a transition that can sometimes be averted with substantial weight loss and increased physical activity.

The new statistics are

based on national health data gathered in 2012 and represent a nearly 12 percent increase in the number of those with diabetes since the last statistical report was issued in 2010.

In 2012 alone, 1.7 million Americans 20 years and older were newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Blacks, Latinos and those of American Indian/ Alaska Native descent are roughly twice as likely to have diagnosed diabetes as non-Latino white adults, the CDC said.

“These new numbers are alarming and underscore the need for an increased focus on reducing the burden of diabetes in our country,” said Ann Albright, who directs the CDC’s Division of Diabetes Translation.

The metabolic disorder can be managed with diet, exercise, insulin and oral medication. Diabetics can also reduce the risk of complications, including peripheral neuropathy, vision loss, kidney failure, stroke and heart disease, by managing high blood pressure and cholesterol.

The language of linen Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald. I recently bought some new cotton bath towels, which I thought were 100 percent cotton. When I used them, I found out that they are not absorbent. I looked at the label and found that they are 100 percent cotton and 100 percent ALGODON. Can you tell me what algodon is, and why they use it? Also, can I do something to the towels to make them absorb moisture? — Janice K. in Nebraska Janice, be assured that the towels you bought are 100 percent cotton. “Algodon” is simply the Spanish word for “cotton,” and you purchased towels with a bilingual label.

Now, how to make them more absorbent? Make certain that when you wash the towels, you do not use fabric softener (liquid or sheets).

Fabric softener makes towels absorb less water. — Heloise BRING BACK THE COLOR Dear Heloise: Someone asked about bringing back the natural color of a leather recliner. We had the exact same problem with a chocolatebrown recliner and couldn’t find any answers. The furniture company had no ideas

Hints from Heloise except to replace the chair, or the footrest — both very expensive alternatives. Finally, I had a flash. Our local shoemaker deals in leather bags and shoes every day. Bet he has an idea! For $10.50, he sold us a bottle of polish, which we rubbed onto the bad place on the chair. Problem solved! — Grayce U., Davie, Fla. PICTURE PROTECTION Dear Heloise: When packing for a move, purchase “swim noodles.” Cut one side lengthwise and slip over the frame of large pictures to prevent damage. Then pictures can be stacked on top of each other or side by side with no damage. — Louise M., Waco, Texas LAST SWIPE Dear Heloise: I put on my eye makeup last thing in the morning. When I am done applying it, I take my powder brush and do one last quick swipe under my eyes. It takes away any loose eye shadow that may have fallen. — S.P.,

The center section holds all the clothespins, the front pocket holds my sunglasses, and the back pocket holds an old pair of socks that I use to wipe off the lines with. That’s what I call handy! — A.S., Harrisonburg, Va. COLOR-COORDINATED Dear Heloise: My husband wears black socks all the time.

We were having a hard time keeping the pairs matched because they all look so similar.

Horoscope Friday, June 13, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is the kind of day where a “what goes around comes around” vibe is very strong.

Therefore, be aware of this. Be kind and generous to everyone. (Ya think?)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be patient with others today, especially siblings, but most especially be patient about financial matters. Your patience will pay off; trust me.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This Full Moon energy is still strong and could cause you to be at odds with those who are closest to you.

(Naturally, we only get angry at those we love.) Stay mellow.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You will have moments of deja vu, where people from your past — especially ex-partners and ex-spouses — are back in your life again. Consider this an opportunity to have peaceful closure.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Focus as much as possible on being efficient and productive today. And while you’re doing this, help others to be efficient and productive as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Take every opportunity to be kind to children and young people today. It might present itself, or it might not. If it does, consider yourself lucky.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You have a strong desire to talk to others today, because you want to enlighten them about something. Be helpful if you can. It’s a good day to smooth over troubled waters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Focus on financial matters today. More than that, look for ways to be generous to others. This might be big or small.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The Moon is in your sign today, which brings you good fortune. If you are kind and generous to others, your good fortune will continue! This is an infallible formula.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Seek out ways to enjoy peace and quiet today. You might want to meditate or do

yoga or stretches on the floor.

(That’s all I do.) Do something that makes you more peaceful and self-aware.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A conversation with a female could be significant today.

Listen to what this person has to say. She might give you advice that will help you achieve your future goals. Who knows?

YOU BORN TODAY You are a dreamer and seeker. You have your heroes, and yet,

ironically, people view you in heroic terms because you are so adventuresome. You are also imaginative and courageous, which is why you will attempt the impossible. Good news! This year might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big!

Rams roll 15-1 on Panthers’ anniversary night

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

National Digest

Rangers survive NEW YORK — The champagne the Los Angeles Kings had ready for a coronation stayed in boxes. The New York Rangers suddenly have some life in the Stanley Cup finals.

Henrik Lundqvist made 40 saves and had the Madison Square Garden crowd chanting his name in the Rangers’ 2-1 victory in Game 4 on Wednesday night that kept the Kings from a sweep.

Benoit Pouliot and Martin St. Louis each scored for the Rangers. Los Angeles leads the series 3-1 and will get its second shot to claim the Cup for the second time in three years Friday night at home.

Los Angeles hoped to become the first team since 1998 to complete a sweep in the finals. The Rangers will try to be the second team to erase a 3-0 hole in the finals and go on to win the Cup. The Kings had that kind of comeback in the first round against San Jose.

“It’s not impossible,” Lundqvist said.

Twice Los Angeles put the puck on the goal line but couldn’t get it all the way across. The last came with 1:11 left when Rangers forward Derek Stepan pushed the puck out of danger in the crease.

Southeast Polk head coach Scott Belger and assistant Dave Hartman were part of the pregame festivities here Wednesday night observing the 25th anniversary of the 1989 Creston baseball team that began a run of five straight conference championships Then, on the field where they both played (and Hartman coached), they saw their Class 4A Rams slug two three-run homers in the second inning on the way to a 15-1 victory in five innings.

Besides the seven-run second inning, which chased Panther starting pitcher Nathan Haley, the Rams scored in every other inning while totaling 11 hits. Southeast Polk improved to 9-4 heading into a Friday matchup with defending state champion Johnston in CIML play.

Creston fell to 3-4 overall, as no pitcher went more than two innings in preparation for today’s conference doubleheader at Carroll Kuemper and a home game Friday against an Atlantic team that

knocked off eighth-ranked Harlan Tuesday night.

“It was nice to see the guys come out and hit early in the game with some good execution at the plate,” Belger said. “We scored some big runs early, and our sophomore pitcher gave us a few good innings there until he started to tire a little. Zach Hamilton came in and got us out of a huge jam there in the third, which kind of took the wind out of their sails a little bit, I think.”

Through two innings, Creston’s only hit was a double by freshman catcher Chase Shiltz.

Rally quelled

But in the third inning the Panthers seemed to have a rally started, trailing 10-0. Conner Pals hit a leadoff single and used a stolen base and wild pitch to advance to third. Cole Crawford stroked an RBI single.

Trevor Luther and Haley each drew walks to load the bases with no outs.

But instead of pushing across more runs, the rally was extinguished. Hamilton came in with a mix of a sharp fastball and sharpbreaking curve and retired the side on two strikeouts

Tanaka shines

SEATTLE — Masahiro Tanaka added another notch to his stellar first two months in the majors, striking out 11 and tossing a complete game Wednesday night as the New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 4-2.

Tanaka became the second pitcher in baseball with 10 wins and won his fourth straight start. It was on the verge of being possibly his most impressive performance of the season before giving up a tworun homer toRobinson Cano in the ninth inning that ruined the shutout.

That only made Tanaka more determined to finish off his second complete game of the season. He struck out Kyle Seager and Logan Morrison to finish off the victory.

Tanaka allowed six hits, walked one and leads the AL with a 2.02 ERA. He tied for the wins lead with Toronto’s Mark Buehrle, who is 10-2. Tanaka has allowed only four earned runs in the past 29 2/3 innings and hasn’t given up more than three earned runs in any start.

Melo to Heat?

MIAMI — The Miami Heat’s immediate focus remains overcoming a 2-1 NBA Finals deficit to the San Antonio Spurs, but discussions have begun within the organization about trying to grow their so-called Big Three into a Big Four, according to sources close to the situation.

Sources told ESPN.com that Heat officials and the team’s leading players have already started to explore their options for creating sufficient financial flexibility to make an ambitious run at adding New York Knicksscoring machine Carmelo Anthony this summer in free agency.

Creston shortstop Conner Pals leaps to receive a throw from catcher Chase Shiltz on a stolen base by Southeast Polk leadoff batter Anthony Schneider in the first inning here Wednesday night. Schneider later hit one of two three-run homers by the Rams in the second inning to break open a 15-1 victory. Pals had one of the four Panther hits.

and a flyout.

Then in the Southeast Polk half of the fourth, two runs scored on an infield single with alert baserunning as the throw to first was barely late to get the batter. That made it 12-1. Scott Ault, the third Southeast Polk pitcher, stroked a three-run triple off freshman hurler Kadon Hulett in the fifth to make it 15-1.

Haley hit a deep double to left in the bottom of the fifth, but that runner was erased on a sacrifice fly attempt by the Panthers off Shiltz’s bat. Luke Hassman, who hit one of the three-run homers, threw all the way home on the play as catcher Cody Hyler applied the tag for the final out of the game.

“We just got Luke back from a suspension and he had been playing third base, but we put him in the outfield and he did OK out there,” Belger said.

“He’s a big ox, 6-4 and 240 pounds, and he can really hit so we want his bat in the lineup.

Creston wins Harlan JV tourney HARLAN — The Creston junior varsity softball continued its dominance of the Harlan JV Tournament here on Wednesday, winning it yet again with a pair of victories.

Creston defeated Harlan 15-2 in the opener and then topped Atlantic 10-6 in the Panthers’ second game.

The Panthers were in command of the game against Harlan from the very beginning, as Lexie Little led off the inning with a triple, scoring on a passed ball. The Panthers scored four runs in the first inning.

Creston added three more in the second inning,

three in the third and five in the fourth inning.

Cammy Rutherford hit a three-run double in the third inning and Taylor Briley hit a grand s l a m Briley home run in the fourth inning.

Briley finished 2-for-2 at the plate with 5 RBI, while Rutherford went 2-3 with three RBI and Brenna Baker was 2-3 with a double.

Briley allowed just two

hits in the pitching circle, while striking out two and walking none.

In the Atlantic game, Chloe Hagle hit a two-run single in the first inning to put Creston on top 2-1.

Morghan Frey hit an RBI groundout to make it 3-1.

Atlantic took a 5-3 lead in the top of the third inning, but Creston tied it up at 5-5 in the bottom half of the inning.

The Trojans took a 6-5 lead in the top of the fourth inning, but Creston took the lead for good in the bottom Please see JV, page 11A

“Creston has a few good hitters at the top of their order,” Belger added.

“They seem to be better than last year.”

On a night when baseball excellence was celebrated in a pregame ceremony with 21-year coach Vic Belger throwing out the first pitch, Creston coach Steve Birchard said his team didn’t execute some nuances of the game that might have contained the score to a degree.

“They do things good teams do,” Birchard said.

“We have to play heads up out there against a team like that at all times, with some baseball savvy. We aspire to be a team like that. You have to find something to do on every play, think how can I be involved in the play? We still have to tell people to do that stuff sometimes. It’s a matter of thinking as one out there. They make plays and they hit the ball, which is what good teams do.”

Birchard felt his team adjusted to the pitching better as the game went

along, but timely RBI hits were scarce.

“In 4A, especially, you see guys throw more than one pitch for strikes consistently, so they’re using different pitches in all counts to keep you wondering,” Birchard said.

On the positive side, he said the entire staff is available to help at least in short stints on the mound in the three conference games today and Friday.

“The conference is looking real interesting, we need to be successful in these games to keep ourselves in the position we want to be in,” he said.

Festivities

As for the pregame ceremony honoring the conference championship teams of 1989 through 1993, everyone seemed pleased.

“It was a nice crowd and considering it was on a Wednesday night, a pretty good turnout of guys,” Birchard said. “I know coach (Vic) Belger was Please see ANNIVERSARY, page 9A

Outdoor news Tough winter Iowa’s unseasonably cold and snowy winter and wet spring is not likely to boost its pheasant population.

Pheasants typically show population increases following mild winters with spring that are warmer and dryer than normal. Based on that weather model, the western third of Iowa has the best chance to see an uptick in pheasants due to below average snowfall and less than eight inches of spring rain.

The weather model predicts the rest of the state to see either no population increase or fewer birds than last year. The nesting forecast will be updated by the August roadside survey, which is the best gauge of what pheasant hunters can expect to find in the fall.

Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, said while the weather is not what upland bird hunters had hoped for, there is some progress on pheasant habitat. Landowners began enrolling in continuous CRP on Monday.

“This is great news for Iowa’s new pheasant recovery continuous CRP practice designed specifically to help recover pheasant

“There will not be a general CRP signup this year so this is an option that landowners with expiring general CRP should consider,” he said.

Information on Iowa’s pheasant recovery continuous CRP is available online at www.iowadnr.gov/ habitat.

Q Pond regulations

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources relaxed fishing regulations at Q Pond in Osceola on June 6, to allow anglers to more freely harvest and utilize fish ahead of the anticipated loss of Q Pond’s water level.

The lake’s water level is lowering do to a leak in the drain pipe. The amount of water the lake will lose is not known, but if the level of the lake reaches the location of the leak, 10 feet or more of water depth could be lost. A water level loss to this extent will decrease the number of fish able to survive in the lake and increase the chances for a winter kill.

“It was a good night to see so many of the former players,” Vic Belger said.

“I was glad to see them back.”

Scott Belger and Hartman concurred.

“It was nice to come down and get the win, but what I’ll remember from this is seeing the old faces, wondering what they’re doing now,” Scott Belger said. “I give all the credit to coach Birchard for getting it going.”

Junior varsity

With Southeast Polk having full freshman and sophomore teams, the Ram JV is made up of juniors and seniors and the young Panther JV played well in a 4-2 defeat Wednesday.

Creston, now 3-2, got seven innings on the mound from freshman Brody Frain, who allowed five hits with two strikeouts and two walks.

At the plate, Creston struck out 14 times which cut down the scoring opportunities. Frain had two of the Panther hits. Others with one were Jaden Driskell, Dustin Merritt and Deaven Reese.

“Our pitching was wonderful and we played pretty well, we just couldn’t get any two-strike hitting going,” coach Ben Landers said. “That was a pretty good team. We just needed to hit a little better.”

Restored Pinehurst will test Seasoned Chop players’ patience in U.S. Open

By DAN WIEDERER Chicago Tribune

PINEHURST, N.C. — The 114th U.S. Open begins Thursday with its requisite list of favorites (Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson, Adam Scott), intriguing upstarts (Jordan Spieth, Hideki Matsuyama) and at least one sentimental pick (Phil Mickelson).

But dig deeper and you’ll find a different list of men whom this year’s champion will have to conquer.

Mike Davis. Donald Ross. Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore.

No, none of that quartet is competing here. But by week’s end, their fingerprints will be obvious all over Pinehurst No. 2.

Davis is the USGA’s executive director and the mastermind behind each day’s course setup. He is a risk-reward antagonist seeking tee positions and hole locations that will stimulate players’ imaginations while challenging

their discipline.

Ross was Pinehurst No. 2’s designer, renowned — and often cursed — for his domed, turtleback greens.

In Watson’s words, you can call them “unfriendly” or “very difficult.” But Ross, who died in 1948, always wanted them as tests of skill and patience.

And Crenshaw and Coore have marched into the spotlight as the architects of Pinehurst’s massive restoration project, an undertaking that began in 2009 to return the course to what Coore called the “rough-and-tumble” feel Ross intended when it opened in 1907.

So, yes, that means this tournament will have a browner hue. “A rustic look,” Davis called it.

The U.S. Open last came to Pinehurst No. 2 in 2005, when the course was an easy-on-the-eyes, lush, green paradise. Today?

As part of the restoration and with a push toward becoming more environmen-

HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ

Junior wins! Junior wins! Is everything right with the world?

GODSPEAK: The world? I don’t know, but everything is right with that No. 88 Chevy and its driver.

What’s up with the Danica F1 rumors?

A gift for Junior Dale Earnhardt Jr. was king of the mountain at Pocono Raceway on Sunday, thanks, in part, to the misfortune of Brad Keselowski.

Keselowski was on his way to victory, but his No. 2 Team Penske Ford picked up debris on the grille, which caused his engine temperature to spike.

He tried to run up to Danica Patrick’s rear bumper to blow the debris off the front of his car, but lost just enough momentum to allow Earnhardt’s No. 88 Chevrolet to go zipping past for the lead and eventual victory.

“I was trying to make whatever move I could do to help clean it off, and I’m not sure I did enough to make a difference,” Keselowski said. “But I made enough of a difference to lose the lead in the process.

“I thought I had enough of a cushion, and when I got down in the corner and the car in front of me got sideways, I realized I had made a mistake. But it was too little, too late.”

The win was Earnhardt’s second of the season after opening 2014 with a tremendous triumph in the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway.

“Brad definitely had the better car, and I am definitely owning up to that, but we won the race,” Earnhardt said.

“We are definitely going to enjoy it. It goes into the books.”

The way the air flows at Pocono, the lead car had a distinct advantage Sunday. When Earnhardt got to the front, he knew the victory was in the bag — at the expense of Keselowski.

Earnhardt shrugged off Keselowski’s misfortune. Earnhardt has been on the losing side of that coin-flip several times in recent years, such as the CocaCola 600 at Charlotte two years ago when he ran out of gas on the last lap, giving the victory to Kevin Harvick.

“That is unfortunate for him (Keselowski),” Earnhardt said. “He had me beat; I couldn’t get to him. Just real hard to pass here. But I have lost some in some strange ways, so it feels good to win one like that.”

HENDRICK LINEUP Since the second Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway in 2012, Hendrick Motorsports has won all four Cup Series races at the “Tricky Triangle.” Jeff Gordon started the streak in 2012. Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne swept in 2013. Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s win Sunday means all four Hendrick drivers boast a Pocono win in the past three seasons.

WHAT DID HE SAY? Brian Vickers finished 19th at Pocono in the No. 55 Toyota and provided this head-scratching comment after the race: “Not that great. We were OK by ourselves, just had no speed in traffic. Just kept floating the nose and couldn’t get around guys.”

Associated Press/MIKE GROLL

Junior, being congratulated by Jimmie Johnson after winning the Pocono 400 on Sunday, knows enough about racing’s give-and-take nature to simply grin and accept a trophy without asking questions.

Can we now consider Junior a legitimate Cup contender?

Unless there’s a definite loss of mojo over the summer, Junior would certainly enter the Chase among the favorites. But it’s a long summer.

Right now, there’s THE favorite — yes, the No. 48 car — and then there are the room-temperature favorites, a group currently populated by Junior, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon and maybe a couple of others.

In other words, too early to say?

Gee, you think? The Cup season has sorta taken on the feel of a college basketball campaign, with the expanded playoffs now allowing you to get to the “tournament” with less than your best stuff. And if you get your roll going at the right time, you’re a hero, and everyone forgets the springtime DNFs and those plate-race wrecks.

What’s with Gene Haas hinting that Danica might be worthy of his future Formula One seat?

It was likely just Gene being polite when asked about the possibility.

Either that or shade-tree genius, since mentioning her name brings added attention. And when you’re a startup team at the biggest level of worldwide motorsports, attention sometimes equates to future horsepower. Assuming the right people are paying attention to your attention.

All of it will come into play during a unique U.S. Open that’s promising to put a premium on recovery and creative thinking, even in the request to spectators to understand the new look.

Said Coore: “People could look at this on television and go, ‘Oh, my god.

Pinehurst quit maintaining the course.’ “ Added Davis: “It’s like artwork, I suppose. Some piece you like, I might not like.”

Mickelson is a proponent of the new look, certain those unruly areas outside the fairway will offer myriad options to get toward the greens. He labels the recovery shot the most exciting in golf.

Quickly, on a new-look course with new challenges, the urge to get aggressive will be tempered by survival instincts.

Freedom Rock: Billy Baker and Brian VanScoy with Winterstein Construction work to shape the red concrete sidewalk at the

Union County Freedom Rock site near the Frank Phillips Visitor Center located on Highway 34 on the west side of Creston. There will also be two pads poured for benches. The concrete was paid in part by Winterstein Construction and the remaining balance was paid by private donations. Denny Abel, quartermaster for the Creston Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1797, said the sidewalk is colored blood red to honor those who sacrificed their blood for their country. Abel said plans are for the rock to be painted by Ray “Bubba” Sorensen sometime in 2015.
