BEDFORD – Father’s Day weekend took an unexpected turn for campers at Windmill Lake County Park in rural Taylor County Friday night.

Straight-line winds between 80 and 90 mph ripped through southwest Iowa Friday night, causing a scary scene at Windmill Lake, 9 1/2 miles northwest of Bedford.

Multiple campers were blown into the lake, some were turned on their sides and some were even flipped STORM | 2A

Straight-line winds up to 90 mph Friday night caused extensive damage at the campground, including blowing multiple campers into the lake.

This year’s Creston Half Marathon and 5K will feature new routes.

The fourth annual road races are scheduled for Sunday, July 2, with the half marathon beginning at 7:30 a.m. and the 5K starting at 8:30 a.m.

Entry fees are $35 for the half marathon and $25 for the 5K. Entrants who register by Wednesday will be guaranteed their shirt size and a finisher’s medal.

Registration can be done online at www.crestonhalfmarathon.com.

Finisher’s medals, seen above, are once again being made locally by Creston: Arts.

“Both routes are a little bit different,” said Mindy Stalker, race organizer.

“The half marathon route is more of a direct point to point. We start a little bit Stalker further north of Green Valley so we don’t have quite as many detours.

I’d like to say I removed all the hills, but that didn’t happen.”

The 5K route will be centered around McKinley Park and McKinley Lake.

This year’s race will fea-

ture live music in at least one spot along the half marathon route, along with water and Gatorade stations at approximately every mile.

There will also be at least one Gu station for the half marathon.

Hy-Vee is the post-race sponsor and will be providing refreshments afterward for participants.

With ongoing construction around McKinley Park, Stalker suggests participants take Highway 34 and turn at the Freedom Rock and enter McKinley Park from the south through the underpass, then turn west on Stone Street and park in the Creston Municipal Pool parking lot.

The start and finish line will once again be located up the hill from the pool parking lot near the bear carving.

Half marathon participants can also park at the pool and Carey Lynam is providing transportation to the starting line with the Party Lizard bus. The bus will leave McKinley Park around 7 a.m.

The top male and top female finishers in the half marathon each receive $200 in prize money, while the second-place male and second-place female each receive $100. Top male and female finishers in the 5K receive $50 in prize money and second-place finishers RACE | 2A

While many of the campers were unsure if it was a tornado or straight-line winds that wreaked havoc on their Father’s Day weekend plans, Kelsey Angle, warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Des Moines said damage lying in all one direction indicated it was straight-line winds. “They were really lucky there at the lake, because those trailer houses weren’t secured,� Angle said. “It’s important to have access to weather information and warning information, and have a plan to seek shelter when storms like that approach.�

as the storm system moved through Taylor County.

Rainfall amounts ranged between 1 and 2 inches in some locations across southwest Iowa.

Jean Minor of Clarinda and her husband were in their Keystone Challenger camper Friday night when the winds flipped the trailer upside down. “It was quite a ride,� said Minor. “It was here and it was over. It probably wasn’t five minutes before everything was totally destroyed.�

Another camper described the winds rocking his camper back and forth and said he began praying.

Minor said she lost her bearings of where she was when her camper flipped over and found herself pinned underneath the bed.

Her husband and several other campers helped her get out from underneath

the bed, but her biggest concern was one of the campers that had gone into Windmill Lake. “There was a lady with three little kids,� Minor said. “Hers had gone into the water and she had gotten out of the top and had her three little kids out there with a 4-month-old, I think it was, trying to save it. It was pretty scary.�

Response was quick to the scene, as area fire departments and ambulance crews rushed to Windmill Lake.

Minor said someone brought out a boat and went out onto the lake to rescue the woman and her three children.

Crews worked to remove the campers from the lake late Friday night. One of the campers disintegrated as it was pulled from the lake, leaving just the trailer and few remnants from the rest of the camper ly-

ing on the shore. “The gal that went into the water with her camper, she said it was like a freight train,� Minor said. “Our concern was getting the little ones taken care of. We camp out here all the time. It’s just a freak deal that it happened. “It looks a little different right now,� she continued. “That’s not the way you want to remember Father’s Day.�

sion Optical. “The ham radio operators, they provide support along the route for me with traffic control,� Stalker said. “We’re always looking for volunteers. There’s a place to sign up to be a volunteer through the website.�

There is also a contest

among local gyms to see which gym can have the most participants. When registering online, there’s a multiple choice question where participants can choose a local gym to support. The gym with the most participants wins a traveling trophy. CrossFit TYL is the

defending champion.

Stalker encourages anyone interested to sign up for the race because there will be an announcement about the future of the event made the day of the race. “There’s big changes that will take place in 2018,�

Stalker said.

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about the phone bill’s added charges and taxes. – Heloise “Dear Heloise: I recently moved into my first apartment and was shocked to discover that my phone bill, which includes a landline, my computer and cellphone, was about 25 percent to 30 percent taxes! I called the phone company and asked for an explanation of my bill, because there were things on there that I’d never heard of. The woman I spoke with didn’t seem to know what half of the charges were for, either. When I signed up for telephone service, no one told me about all these taxes and other charges. Why can’t the telephone companies tell us the truth about all these nuisance charges, and why don’t they pick up some of these expenses instead of burdening the public with them?” – Roberta G., Dayton, Ohio SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

button, who’s got the button? There are a number of uses for recycled buttons: * They can be used in jewelry making to create interesting, new designs. * Attach to the ends of drawstrings to keep from pulling through casings. * Great for decorating picture frames, and for gift decorations. * Instead of pebbles in a pot, try a couple of handfuls of old buttons. – Heloise HOW TO CLEAN A MATTRESS Dear Heloise: My sister and I have been wondering how to properly clean a mattress. We both recently bought new ones, but haven’t a clue as to how to keep them clean. – Tanya M., Elk Grove Village, Ill. Tanya, the first thing you can do is spray a water repellent on the surface of a mattress on both sides.

Wait until it is completely dry before covering it with a good-quality mattress pad to help keep out dust, dander and dust mites. After you’ve done this, try the following: * Vacuum your mattress once a month. * Wash the mattress pad once a month in hot water and soap to kill dust mites. * If you spill any liquid

on the mattress, soak up as much of the liquid as you can with a bath towel or paper towels. Use upholstery cleaners to shampoo out the stain left behind, but make sure your mattress is completely dry before putting the mattress pad back on the bed. * Most mattress manufacturers say we do not have to “flip” our mattresses every six months anymore, but I still like to rotate mine every other month. – Heloise FEED YOUR PLANTS Dear Heloise: I have an old home recipe for outside plants that works to kill bugs while feeding the plants. It’s simple and easy to use with a spray bottle that hooks up to a hose.

Mix together: * One small can of beer – any kind * 5 tablespoons of liquid dishwashing detergent (or use baby shampoo) * 2 tablespoons of commercial plant food in liquid or powder form Once this is in the spray bottle and attached to the hose, water your plants as usual. The soap kills bugs, but not plants. – Rhonda P., Lodi, Calif. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Bottom of order production spurs Panther win

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

The bottom five of the Creston baseball lineup did what they needed to do to pull off a 7-6 walk-off home victory over Denison-Schleswig Friday afternoon.

Eli Loudon capped a sweep of the Monarchs out of the eight-spot in the lineup with a high fly ball to center field that was deep enough to allow freshman courtesy runner Hunter Fry to tag up and score.

“To come through at the end to get on base and do it any which way, that’s certainly nice to see, Loudon coming up and getting a big sacrifice fly,” Creston coach Steve Birchard said. “Down five in the order to get the winning run out of that, that’s really nice.”

Loudon, who has played left field while having a designated hitter bat for him recently, took advantage of his trips to the plate Friday with a single and the game-winning sacrifice.

Friday’s game, which had been pushed back from Thursday after lightning cut into the Panthers and

Crawford started the game on the hill and pitched 4 and 1/3 innings. Merritt came in and finished the game to pick up the win.

Panther pitching and the defense, despite issuing seven walks and committing four errors, found ways to make enough stops to pull out the win. That included

a big diving stop by Latham at second base to keep the Monarchs off the board in the fourth inning. Dension-Schleswig stranded 13 runners on base.

“We didn’t have a very good night last night. We wanted to get our bats going and even just getting walks and

being able to know strikes and balls was good for us.”

Eighth-grader Wiley Ray threw three innings of twohit shutout baseball to pick up the victory.

The upperclassman-laden team has won three of its last four games after starting the season 0-8.

New Bulldog assistant coach Trevor Luther, a

Creston native, has enjoyed working with the Bulldogs in his first season with the team.

“I’ve been working with the hitters a lot with their approach at the plate, their mentality going into each atbat,” Luther said. “Working a lot of patience … finding your pitch, baserunning too.”

UP NEXT — Orient-Macksburg (3-9, 2-5) will play at Seymour Tuesday at 6 p.m.

Murray stays undefeated in Bluegrass n

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

DES MOINES — Murray dominated its showdown with Grand View Christian for possession of the Bluegrass Conference softball leadership Friday afternoon at Grand View University.

The game was scoreless through two innings before the Lady Mustangs staged a nine-run rally in the third inning and went on to sail to an 11-0 victory in five innings.

“We sent 15 to the plate in the third and left the bases loaded, We did all of that with two outs,” Murray c o a c h Jensen D a n n y Jensen said. The inning

would have ended prior to any scoring if the Thunder had properly executed a dropped third strike throw to first base.

Murray stands alone in first place in the league at 5-0 and improved to 15-4 overall before taking two more wins Saturday at the Orient-Macksburg Tournament. The Thunder fell to 6-1 in league play and 10-6 overall heading into Saturday’s action at Hatfield the West Marshall Tournament.

Melcher-Dallas stands third in the Bluegrass Conference at 4-2.

Breianna Klein and Kayla Wookey hit home runs for the Lady Mustangs. Klein finished with three hits and four RBIs. Brandi Gilbert and Zadie Hatfield each had two hits. Hatfield and Hailey Chew each scored twice.

ALLEMAN — Beau Barncastle pitched a shutout against Norwalk and a comeback against North Polk just fell short for the Creston baseball team at North Polk Saturday.

Barncastle scattered four hits and was backed by errorless defense in pitching a complete game in the Panthers’ 9-0 win over Norwalk.

His 91-pitch performance included five strikeouts and three walks.

“He did a nice job,” Creston coach Steve Birchard said. “He got some help defensively. We got on them early with our bats.”

The Panthers led 3-0 after two innings and the fourthrun outburst stretched it to 8-0. Norwalk (7-12) had five errors in the game.

Jaden Driskell hit a home run. Driskell and Cody Crawford each drove in three runs. Barncastle had three singles, while Cody Crawford and Brenden McDowell each had two hits.

North Polk, now 14-4 for the season, had its offense booming early in a rough start on the mound for Panther freshman Eli Loudon in game one. He was relieved

by Hunter Fry during the Comets’ five-run outburst.

Creston answered with one run in the bottom of the first inning and closed it to the final margin of 8-6 going into the seventh. Creston had the tying runs on base in the final inning with one out, but the Comets escaped the jam on a called third strike situation when the Panther runners tried to advance on

“We didn’t have to run there and got doubled up when we were caught in between,” Birchard said.

“That’s just something that comes with experience. I was proud of the way we battled back.”

Birchard called it a day of growth for his squad, which had no errors in 14 innings.

“We took some steps forward,” Birchard said.

“We’re showing that we can play with some of these teams. We were swinging the bats well and had some kids look pretty good on the mound.”

UP NEXT — Creston (810, 5-7) hosts Clarinda (77, 5-7) today in JV-varsity play. Both teams are challenging for a spot in the the top half of the Hawkeye 10, just behind Atlantic (5-6) and Glenwood (5-5). The Panthers hope to avenge a 7-3 loss at Clarinda on May 30.

Iowa last week applied for a federal waiver to allow federal subsidies designed to lower costs for low-income and older participants to be used to entice younger people to buy insurance in hopes of keeping Medica and perhaps attracting others back to Iowa.

Medica is the only statewide insurer left in Iowa.

State insurance officials feared the Minnesota-based company might also leave,
