No fishing licenses are needed for Iowa residents Friday through Sunday as part of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ free fishing weekend.

Normally, anglers on Iowa’s lakes are required to purchase a fishing license in order to fish.

But, as a way to promote fishing each year, the Iowa DNR offers a free fishing weekend.

“Sometimes there might be people who like to go fishing, but they may only go once or twice a year. Maybe they did

it when they were young a long time ago, but they don’t buy a license because they don’t know if they’ll like it,” Union County Conservation Officer Corey Carlton said.

“This gives them a chance to go out and catch a few fish and rediscover it.”

Carlton said the free fishing weekend offers an opportunity for Iowa residents to try out a new hobby or rediscover a lost love.

Residents of Union County have plenty of fishing options in the area, as well.

“The fishing in our counties, specifically Union County, is tremendous,” Carlton FISHING | 2A

15th-annual Seth Thompson Memorial Kids Fishing Day planned Saturday LENOX — The 15th-annual Seth Thompson Memorial Kids Fishing Day is scheduled for Saturday at Wilson Lake in Lenox.

Sign-in and lunch is at 12:30 p.m., with fishing from 1:30 to 3 p.m. A rain date is scheduled for Sunday.

The Seth Thompson Memorial Kids Fishing Day provides a free day

of fishing for all children 16 and under.

Prizes will be awarded and the first 100 kids to sign in will receive a free goodie bag. T-shirts will also be available for sale.

Last year’s event drew more than 90 children participants.

The event is offered in conjunction with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ free fishing weekend.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police on Thursday identified the man they say carried out a murder-suicide that took the life of an engineering professor at UCLA. The shooter was Mainak Sarkar, said Officer Jenny Houser, a city police spokeswoman. Sarkar is listed on a UCLA website as a member of a computational biomechanics research group run by the victim, a professor of biomechanical engineering.

The shooting Wednesday brought a massive police response and widespread fear of an active shooter among tens of thousands of people at the university. Now fear has shifted to sadness as many lament the death of a professor who worked on computer models of the human heart who was also a doting father who coached his young son’s baseball team.

Bill Klug, a professor of mechanical engineering, was gunned down in an engineering building office Wednesday, according to a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation but not authorized to publicly discuss it.

Finding the gunman’s motive in killing Klug will be foremost in the investigation as it continues Thursday.

Classes at the University of California, Los Angeles campus will resume Thursday for most of the school,

and on Monday for the engineering department, whose students and faculty were coming to grips with his loss.

“Bill was an absolutely wonderful man, just the nicest guy you would ever want to meet,” said a collaborator, UCLA Professor Alan Garfinkel. “Devoted family man, superb mentor and teacher to so many students.

He was my close colleague and friend. Our research together was to build a computer model of the heart, a 50 million variable ‘virtual heart’ that could be used to test drugs.”

Peter Gianusso, who headed the El Segundo Little League where Klug coached, said he “exemplified what Little League was all about: character, courage and loyalty.”

“He had a special relationship with his son through baseball, was a great coach, spent countless hours on the field with the boys and girls of El Segundo Little League,” Gianusso said.

The initial reports from the scene set off widespread fears of an attempted mass shooting on campus, bringing a response of hundreds of heavily armed officers who swarmed the campus.

Today is June 2, the 154th day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 212 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (May 30-June 5) in history:

10 years ago Creston Police Officer Cory Luther and his canine Nitro, a 4-year-old German Shepherd weighing in at 90 pounds, were among the top three United States Police Canine Association teams in the Midwest. Nitro placed third overall out of more than 75 dogs at the USPCA narcotics trials in Woodberry County. They participated in exercises that tested the team’s abilities to find narcotics in cars and mock-up rooms.

Three candidates, Ron Riley, Terry Plowman and James Allen, were seeking the Republican nomination for Union County District 1 supervisor. In another race, two Democratic candidates were vying for Iowa’s 5th Congressional District.

Joyce Schulte and Bob Chambers were hoping to win the vote June 6, as they felt they were qualified to overthrow U.S. Rep. Steve King in the November election.

helicopters hovered overhead.

Advised by university text alerts to turn out the lights and lock the doors where they were, many students let friends and family know they were safe in social media posts. Some described frantic evacuation scenes, while others wrote that their doors weren’t locking and posted photos of photocopiers and foosball tables they used as barricades.

After about two hours, city Police Chief Charlie Beck said it was a murder-suicide and declared the threat over. Two men were dead, and authorities found a gun and what might be a suicide note, he said.

It was the week before final exams at UCLA, whose 43,000 students make it the largest campus in the University of California system.

From left, Bill Stuart, and sons Tony and Billy, were available to show their specialty cars in June 2006 at their new showroom in the former Earl May building, intersection of Taylor and Oak streets, which had been remodeled and was the home of Hi-Crest’s specialty cars.

Davenport told the school board the city would like to possibly build senior citizen housing or another housing development on the property.

Creston High School held National Honor Society induction honoring Ashley Wimmer, Brian Teutsch, Katie Turner, Amanda Diers, Brady Steenhoek, Theresa Rooney, Kyle McCann, Stephanie Jensen, Shannon Emerson, Amanda Fiala, Amanda Higgins, Sara Harris, Heidi Hellyer, Regina Loudon, Anna Spindler, Todd Stalker, Jennifer Chandler, Paula Saxton, Tiffany Abell, Meg Gammell, Lindsay Courtney, Lori Burkhalter, Raelynne Loudon and Melanie Adams.

Union County Clerk of Court Marsha Parsons

swore in Todd Byerly, who was starting his job as the newest addition to the Creston Police. Mayor Larry Wynn swore in new Creston City Council member Mike Tamerius for the 5th Ward.

Creston Chorus planned its 10th- annual spring concert in the high school auditorium. One ensemble, Sophisticated Six, featured Jean Hoyt, Kathy Rissler, Helen Mosman, Trudie Beattie, Dorothy Baldwin and Ellen Turbot. The six women combined with eight men to form The Starliters and included Wally McLaughlin, Ray Fogle, David Rissler, Burdette Buxton, Dr. Jack Robinson, Don Sears, Phil Britten and Vern Olson. The concert was directed by L.V. Foley.

Season tickets for the Creston municipal swimming pool went on sale at the city hall. Family tickets were $12.50, adults were $4.50 and children under 12 years of age were $2.50.

Dan Thompson was the pool manager for the summer.

Don Moore Music store, 217 W. Montgomery St., was robbed during the night of June 2, 1966. About $450 in cash, several musical instruments and some record albums were taken during the break-in. Police said entrance was gained by prying the lock off a back door.

Only cash was taken and checks were thrown on the floor with only 40 cents left in the register. When the burglars left, they wedged the back door closed with a screw from the broken lock.

Those locked down inside classrooms described a nervous calm. Some said they had to rig the doors closed with whatever was at hand because they would not lock.

Umar Rehman, 21, was in a math sciences classroom adjacent to Engineering IV, the building where the shooting took place. The buildings are connected by walkway bridges near the center of the 419-acre campus.

“We kept our eye on the door. We knew that somebody eventually could come,” he said, acknowledging the terror he felt.

The door would not lock and those in the room devised a plan to hold it closed using a belt and crowbar, and demand ID from anyone who tried to get in.

Scott Waugh, an executive vice chancellor and provost, said the university would look into concerns about doors that would not lock.

One student who spent

hours sheltering in a building did the same thing almost exactly two years ago when he was locked down in a dorm at UC Santa Barbara during a shooting rampage in the surrounding neighborhood that left six students dead and wounded 13 people.

Jeremy Peschard, 21, said it was “scary” and “eerily similar” but also that having been through the feeling of crisis before left him almost numb.

“I just felt a little bit less shocked, a little bit less taken aback by the reality of an active shooter on a college campus,” he told The Associated Press in an email. “Because I feel

like this is the day and age we’re living in, that college campus shootings have genuinely become a normalized threat, almost like a natural disaster, except this type of destruction isn’t natural. It’s just really sad.”

UCLA’s commencement ceremonies and end-ofyear events will now include mourning Klug, who was a devout Christian and a regular figure in organizing campus spiritual life.

In 2012, according to the campus website, he moderated a forum that his family and friends might find useful now. Its title: “Does God Care?: Seeking the Meaning of Life in the Midst of Suffering and Death.”

Summer reading programs start at Gibson Memorial Library “On Your Mark, Get Set, Read!” Children from birth through fourth-grade are invited to Gibson Memorial Library for a summer of fun and reading. Research confirms the importance of summer reading. Children who do not read or continue to learn when school is not in session may start school in the fall as much as six weeks behind. This is called the “summer slump.”

Beginning June 1, children may register for the summer reading program.

Children will receive a reading log to track their time spent reading. Prizes will be awarded for every 10 circles filled. Prizes for completing the entire reading log include book bags, Blank Park Zoo tickets and Iowa Cubs baseball tickets.

Reading books is only part of the learning experience offered by the library.

The Hanson Family will perform juggling and uni cycling feats 10 a.m. June 16. On June 29 at 10 a.m., the Blank Park Zoo will visit with four small special guests from the zoo. Singer and storyteller Dino O’Dell will make a return visit at 10 a.m. July 6. These three programs will be held in the Methodist Church fellowship hall.

Two programs for schoolage children will be held 10 a.m. June 8 and June 22.

These programs will be a fun time of crafts and games.

Registration is required for these programs.

Union County manure spill THAYER – On Tuesday afternoon, Union County maintenance staff accidentally nicked a hose used to transport manure while mowing a right-of-way about one mile north of Thayer.

The hose was not in use.

However, about 800 to 900 gallons of residual manure leaked from a small hole. An unknown amount Hi Lo Cond.of manure reached 82an 59unnamed P Cloudytributary of Four Creek.

Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) staff checked the unnamed creek Tuesday. Field tests showed low ammonia levels. They found no dead fish.

On Wednesday morning, DNR staff were on site and concluded most of the released manure probably remained in the right-of-way or on the shoulders of the gravel road.

Iowa Select staff continue to clean up, scraping and gathering manure along the road edges.

The DNR will consider appropriate enforcement action.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, June 2, 2016

Clinton and Sanders at war with each other HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Glenn Beck and his two on-air sidekicks were suspended by Sirius Radio after they concurred with a radio guest’s assessment that Donald Trump should be assassinated. You can’t make it up. Donald Trump hasn’t been elected president yet and already he’s created three new good-paying jobs.

Hillary Clinton rushed out to California to stop her support from bleeding leftward to Bernie Sanders Tuesday. Right now, the two warring sides of the Democratic Clinton Party can only agree on one thing. They believe our entire country has fallen into a zoo exhibit and Donald Trump is the gorilla.

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Cincinnati Zoo officials had to shoot and kill a gorilla Saturday after it threatened a 4-year-old child that had climbed down into the primate’s habitat. The gorilla was killed with one rifle shot.

Somewhere in Minnesota, a dentist feels left out for not being at the right place at the right time.

Donald Trump told reporters Tuesday he enjoyed receiving a foreign policy tutorial from Dr. Henry Kissinger to help him formulate a new path for U.S. diplomacy. Naturally, some foreign policy is seamless. President Obama visited Hiroshima last week, and Trump said he’ll visit Teheran.

Sarah Palin addressed a crowd in San Diego Friday where she

blasted the mainstream media as sheep and told the reporters to “Suck it up, cupcakes.” She’s a natural fit in Southern California. Sarah Palin spent all day on Memorial Day in Los Angeles looking for the Tomb of the Unknown Comic.

University of Virginia researchers published a study last week detailing the use of cell phones in today’s society. It’s the epidemic no one discusses.

The study found that one out of 10 people in California use their cell phones while they’re having sex, but they insist it doesn’t affect their driving.

Pentagon officials told Congress that the mountains in Afghanistan are rich in lithium, which is the mineral used to power laptops, smart phones, and iPads. They were right on time. Every two years, we try to convince the Afghans that something is going to make them

more money than heroin.

The Weather Channel reports that torrential rain in southeastern Texas sent the Brazos River over its banks, covering suburban Houston in 9 feet of water.

Within days, FEMA and EPA officials and congressmen arrived on the scene. Snakes are always the first thing to turn up after a flood.

Poland’s justice minister said he will try to extradite Roman Polanski to the U.S. to face a 40-year-old statutory rape charge in L.A. It all happened back in the late 70s. Roman Polanski and Bill Cosby used Quaaludes for sex at a time when Los Angeles was zoned strictly cocaine-for-sex.

Vladimir Putin threatened Poland and Romania if they allow the U.S. to build anti-missile bases in their countries. He’s easily the most macho leader in the world. Last week Vladimir Putin struck and killed a deer and he

said he feels just awful about it, but when he’s jogging he’s in his own world.

Johnny Manziel set off a manhunt in New York Monday when he missed a helicopter flight to his own party in the Hamptons.

He was later found clubbing in Manhattan. Last week, Johnny decided to take a friend’s advice and dance like no one’s watching, and his court date is next Tuesday.

Bernie Sanders ignored calls by Democrats to drop out of the race Monday and campaigned in California. He called the NFL Sanders player agreement unfair. Bernie promised he will tax the touchdowns and subsidize the field goals until every football player who scores gets four and a-half points equally.

An end to impunity for dictators — and their backers — makes the world safer It was a bad week for dictators, and a good one for international justice. Two brutal, U.S.-backed dictators who ruled decades ago were convicted for crimes they committed while in power. Hissene Habre took control of the northern African nation of Chad in 1982, and unleashed a reign of terror against his own people, killing at least 40,000 of them, until he was deposed in 1990. Reynaldo Bignone was a general in the Argentinian military, and was the last dictator of the military junta that ruled that country from 1976 to 1983, the period known as “The Dirty War,” when an estimated 30,000 dissidents were “disappeared,” i.e., killed. Both men will most likely spend the rest of their lives in prison. These verdicts won’t bring back the tens of thousands they tortured and killed, but, hopefully, they will hasten the end of the modern era of impunity for human-rights abusers and their allies.

Bignone’s guilty verdict for his role in the transnational “Operation Condor” conspiracy was not his first.

He was one of the Argentine generals who overthrew that country’s government in 1976. Bignone took a lead role in setting up and running several of the hundreds of secret detention centers where people suspected of communist or left-wing sympathies were taken and, in most cases, tortured, then killed. Argentina in those years was led by a succession of military dictators, with Bignone being the last in the line, ruling from 1982 to 1983. Bignone oversaw

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

the destruction of documents and other evidence that might have implicated him and his fellow junta members in human-rights abuses and crimes against humanity, and also granted blanket immunity to himself and others, protecting them from future prosecution. Eventually, the amnesty was overturned, and Bignone was convicted in 2010 for the rampant kidnapping, torture and murder he oversaw.

Bignone’s most recent guilty verdict was for his role in Operation Condor, in which six U.S.-backed South American dictatorships — Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay — conspired to track down and kidnap or kill dissidents anywhere in the world.

Bignone, 88, now has an additional 20 years added to the life sentence he is currently serving. Operation Condor was coordinated out of Chile, then under dictator Augusto Pinochet, and with the knowledge of the U.S. government, and in particular, then-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

Bignone and the Argentine junta, and Hissene Habre, could not have committed their atrocities were it not for the support of the U.S. government.

Creston Chamber Ellen Gerharz Executive Director

the Image Enhancement Committee’s 11th year of honoring yards/homes in Creston. During June, July, August, September and October three houses each month will be honored. Each home selected will receive a gift from either Creston True Value, Creston Super Wal-Mart or Green Valley Pest Control and Lawn Care.

During this same time, the Committee will again recognize and acknowledge an area of Creston that has worked together to maintain and enhance their corner of Creston as well as the flower pots found at the various businesses throughout the community.

Please nominate a yard, an area and or a flowerpot to be considered by the committee and call the Chamber with the address or the location.

10,000 Crestonians 4th of July Celebration I know that it is still early in June, but the 4th of July Committee – 10,000 Crestonians – is busy making plans for the upcoming celebration. This hard working group of individuals deserves a great deal of credit for what they do, since this is one of our largest tourist attractions of the year and makes a wonderful day and/or weekend for your family and friends.

The theme for this year’s parade and celebration is, “Star Spangled Celebration.” The parade will begin at 10 a.m. on the 4th. If you would like to be in the parade, please call the Chamber Office at 641-7827021 to sign up. I would also like to pass along that if you know of a child who would like to decorate their bike and be in

the bicycle division of the parade, there is a chance for them to win bicycles.

The fireworks show will be held on July 4 beginning at 9:30 p.m. out at McKinley Park.

If you would like to make a donation to the 10,000 Crestonians, you can drop it off at the Chamber office located at 208 W. Taylor St., or mail it to the 10,000 Crestonians at PO Box 471, Creston, IA 50801.

Don’t have your pocket picked Dear Heloise: I work for a large discount retailer.

A lady called because she thought her cellphone had been lost or STOLEN in the store. Here’s what she told me: A man had bumped into her, and then a woman started chatting with her. This is a common scam. Thieves and pickpockets often work in pairs or in teams. One will distract you while the other steals from you.

Fortunately, the lady called me back and reported that she had just misplaced her phone – it hadn’t been stolen.

However, here are some hints to thwart pickpockets: * Be aware of your surroundings at all times. * Keep your purse zipped closed with your wallet, keys and phone secured inside. Don’t use outside slip pockets on the purse to stow valuables. Leave bags that don’t close at the top, such as large tote bags, at home. * Don’t set your bag or purse in your cart.

– A Reader, via email Dear Reader: How right you are! Most people are not thieves, but they are out there. If you can, don’t take your whole purse into a store, just your wallet, list and keys. DON’T put it in the trunk while in the parking lot if people can see you.

Stuff it under a seat or cover

Hints from Heloise it with something.

Do listen to your “gut”: If something does not feel right, someone is getting too close to you or you feel uncomfortable, go to another aisle. Go to the front of the store and chat with a manager.

Also, with summer just about here, theme parks, sporting events and busy vacation spots are the places you need to have your “antenna” up and aware. – Heloise P.S.: When I travel for business, usually by myself, I am REALLY on alert mode. Don’t set your purse down while checking luggage or buying something.

Don’t leave your tote or purse hanging on the back of a chair. Do keep count of belongings, children and tickets!

SPRAY IT, DON’T SAY IT Dear Heloise: I love reading your column in The Times of Northwest Indiana.

Please reprint your hint for prewash spray. I found it very helpful. Thank you so much. – Julie C., Valparaiso, Ind.

National Digest

Cubs, Lester win CHICAGO (AP) — Jon Lester was surprised when manager Joe Maddon let him bat in the eighth inning. After the pitcher struck out swinging, the rest of the night went according to plan.

Lester tossed a four-hitter for his first complete game of the season, helping the Chicago Cubs edge the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 on Wednesday despite another quiet performance at the plate.

The Cubs finished with just three hits against Mike Bolsinger and two relievers after they managed only one in Tuesday night’s 5-0 loss to Los Angeles.

But one of Chicago’s hits was a long, two-run homer by Kris Bryant in the third inning, and Lester (6-3) took over from there.

The left-hander struck out 10 and walked none in his second straight win, settling down quite nicely after Kike Hernandez’s leadoff homer on his second pitch. He retired his last 15 batters and threw 113 pitches in his 13th career complete game.

With two relievers standing on the mound in the bullpen, Lester retired Justin Turner and Corey Seager on grounders to shortstop before Howie Kendrick struck out swinging for the final out. It was Lester’s first complete game since a 2-1 win at Pittsburgh on Sept. 15.

Bolsinger (1-2) fanned six in five innings. Pedro Baez followed with two hitless innings for Los Angeles, and Casey Fien allowed Jason Heyward’s two-out single in the eighth before whiffing Bryant for the last out of the inning.

One mistake in the third was enough to drop the Dodgers to 3-3 on their seven-game trip.

Dexter Fowler reached on a leadoff walk and Heyward lined out to right before Bryant drove a 1-0 pitch to the bushes in center for his team-best 12th homer, snapping a tie with Anthony Rizzo.

Link hired at ISU Pete Link, who spent the past four seasons as the strength and conditioning coach for the Iowa State women’s basketball team, has been named the director of strength and conditioning for men’s basketball, ISU announced Wednesday.

“This is such an important role in continuing the level of success our program is accustomed to,” ISU coach Steve Prohm said in a statement. “Pete comes really highly recommended from (Iowa State women’s basketball coach) Bill Fennelly. He is very handson in his approach and has a strong passion for Iowa State University. I can’t wait to get started with him this summer.”

Proud of their finish Panthers place fifth at state n

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

AMES—Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s girls golf team had to battle both the challenging layout at Coldwater Golf Links as well as their own games at times during day two of the Class 4A girls state golf tournament Wednesday.

The Panthers fought through the lows, rode the highs and made memories that will last a lifetime.

Creston/O-M placed fifth in Class 4A with a 782.

Washington was the champion with a 715.

Capping the season at state, the program’s first appearance at the season’s final event since 1999, meant plenty to all involved.

“What a great year,” said assistant coach Ryan McKim. “This is a really challenging golf course.

I thought the girls really battled through it.”

They had their share of troublesome moments on day two. Most of the Panthers’ scores ended up higher than day one.

But the most important

element was they were still playing.

“It was a good experience for all of us,” said junior Morgan Shawler. “We got here. We made it.”

Reaching the state tournament was a culmination of a season of dedication to becoming better golfers.

“The thing you have to

remember is even though you have bad days, you still deserve everything you achieve,” said senior Madison Hance. “You work for something, get to that point. Maybe it doesn’t work out the way you wanted, but I feel like I deserved to be here.”

Hance capped her career

with her third trip to state.

She tied for 15th with a 188.

She fought her game over the course of the two days.

“It was definitely a struggle,” said the future Simpson College golfer. “It definitely was not what I wanted to achieve here, but I didn’t give up.”

There were high points in

the round she can look back on fondly.

“You try to remember the good ones, try to make more good ones,” she said.

Having the team with her this season made the experience much more enjoyable for her.

Panther baseball struggles in home loss Rival Harlan in town tonight for twin bill

two in the bottom of the sixth, but Clarinda countered with four off two Creston pitchers in the seventh.

Clarinda was like many teams in the Hawkeye 10 in being effective with how they played at the plate and in the field.

“There’s a lot of teams in our conference and they’ve got a pitcher on the mound that’s doing the job and the defense behind them, then they move the ball a little bit and they’re going to beat you,” Birchard said.

The lack of offensive productivity was a bit of a cause for concern.

“We’ve got to find a way to score some more runs,” Birchard said.

As disappointing as Wednesday’s loss was, there’s little time to think about it. Hawkeyes 10 rival Harlan comes to Panther Field tonight for a league doubleheader. First pitch in game one is set for 5:30 p.m., with the second game to follow.

“We’d better strap it on,” Birchard said. “We’ve got to flush this one and move on.”

It wasn’t as if Clarinda was pounding the ball all over Panther Field during Wednesday’s Hawkeye 10 baseball matchup with Creston.

When the Cardinals did hit the ball, they put it in the right places where Panther defenders couldn’t make a play.

The Cardinals then showed their plate discipline, particularly in the seventh inning as Clarinda rolled past Creston 11-3.

The Cardinals started off the scoring with a run in the first. Then they tacked on four more in the second, chasing Panthers starting pitcher Jaden Driskell in the process.

That was all the offense the Cardinals needed for starting pitcher Josh De Gase. De Gase scattered seven hits, walked none and struck out three.

The Cardinals had only one error through the first five innings as they stymied the Panthers offense.

“We felt like we could hit

the guy,” said Creston coach Steve Birchard. “We did hit him well. We squared a few.

We couldn’t string them together.”

Clarinda strung together a

run in the fifth, pushed two more across in the sixth.

While Clarinda’s offense was making the plays defensively, Creston was not.

“It was just not a good

night,” Birchard said. “We did too many things where we didn’t make plays and they did. You just chalk it up to it’s baseball.”

Creston countered with

Royals complete perfect homestand, sweep Rays KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — These Royals keep stacking up once-a-generation accomplishments.

With a 6-3 victory Wednesday against the Rays, the Royals secured the first sweep of a homestand of at least six games in 28 seasons.

And it didn’t take long for the 30,554 in the Kauffman Stadium stands to reach full throat either.

The Royals’ offense staked Danny Duffy to a four-run lead in the first two innings and that proved to be plenty with a three-inning assist from the bullpen.

Duffy was plugged into a rotation

beset by injury two weeks ago and pitched well in his first three starts — a 17-pitch, two home run hiccup in his last outing aside.

There was no hangover for Duffy, who led the Royals to a season-best six-game win streak with six strong innings.

The win marks the first time the Royals, who finished the homestand 6-0 by brushing aside the White Sox and Rays, have swept a homestand of at least six games since June 2-8, 1988.

These Royals went to work early against Chris Archer, netting a pair of runs in the first and second

innings. Lorenzo Cain and Kendrys Morales supplied RBI singles during the initial two-run salvo.

Drew Butera added an RBI single in the second and later scored when Rays third baseman Evan Longoria couldn’t handle a two-out chopper

by Cain.

Tampa Bay pecked away at that lead, scratching across long runs in the third, fifth and sixth innings, but Duffy never gave it all back. Mikie Mahtook opened the second frame with a double, reaching when Cain misread a line smash directly at him, but the Royals’ defense would atone.

After Mahtook scored on Brad Miller’s two-out single, Longoria blasted a double off the left-field wall. Miller dug for home, but he was cut down by a flawless relay from Jarrod Dyson to Alcides Escobar to Butera. Catcher Curt Casali’s 422-foot blast to left field pulled the Rays within 4-2.

During the sixth, Longoria reached on a 75-foot popup when the entire Royals’ infield lost the ball in the red glow of dusk above Kauffman Stadium. Longoria was erased on a fielder’s choice, but it led to a run two batters later on a Desmond Jennings groundout.

Outdoor news Iowan selected as National Hunter Education Volunteer Instructor of the Year Rick Cerwick flashes back to the days when he started hunting, rolling down the Webster County gravel roads in the ‘63 Ford Galaxy 500 with mom and dad up front and he and his brothers and sisters in back competing to see who could spot the most rooster pheasants and who could retrieve them when dad shot one.

His early exposure to hunting started Cerwick down a path to not only continue following his passion for the outdoors, but crossed over into assisting with hunter education classes that has helped 5,000 students learn about gun safety and become certified in hunter education.

That journey paused briefly on May 25 to allow Cerwick, from Des Moines, to be honored as the Federal Premium Ammunition 2015 National Hunter Education Volunteer Instructor of the Year during a luncheon at the International Hunter Education Association’s annual conference in Vergennes, Vermont.

“I’m very humbled,” Cerwick said.

His involvement with hunter education began in 1995 when a career change allowed for free time to volunteer.

“I thought if I have time, this is what I want to do and I’ve been loving every minute of it. It’s very touching to be recognized for doing something isn’t a lot of work, it’s a lot of fun,” he said.

He began helping Ray Thode and Jerry Keyes with hunter education classes in the Des Moines area. When

Brewers pitch way past Cardinals MILWAUKEE (AP) — In a game in which pitchers often are measured by how hard they throw, there is still a place for precision pitching.

Exhibit A took the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday afternoon with hopes of slowing down a St. Louis offense that ran roughshod in the first two games, compiling 26 hits and 16 runs.

Zach Davies did more than slow down the Cardinals. Hitting spots with all of his pitches and keeping hitters guessing for eight shutout innings, Davies led the Brewers to a 3-1 victory to deny St. Louis a three-game sweep at their favorite road

stop, Miller Park.

“He made them responsible for four pitches,” said manager Craig Counsell, referring to the fastball, changeup, curveball and cutter that Davies seemingly could get over the plate whenever he wanted. “He did a nice job with pitch selection, speeding them up, slowing them down, kind of keeping them guessing.

“They were never comfortable. They were always behind in the count. It was a great pitching performance.

It’s hard to get much better than that against a very good offensive team. It’s fun to watch when a guy pitches like that. He kept making pitches. That’s a dangerous

lineup so it does make it more impressive.”

Davies struggled after being called up in mid-April (0-3, 8.78 ERA in his first three outings) but had begun to the turn the corner in recent outings.

With a career best of eight innings and nine strikeouts, however, he took his game to a new level against the Cardinals, who never had faced him. St. Louis didn’t move a runner past first base against Davies, who allowed only three hits and no walks during his 105-pitch gem.

He got better as the game progressed, retiring the last 14 hitters he faced and striking out six of the last eight of them.

Wookey fans 14, Murray pounds Lenox

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

MURRAY — Kayla Wookey breezed through Lenox Tiger hitters for seven innings and the Murray Mustangs hitters left their mark in a 9-1 win.

Wookey struck out eight batters in the game’s first three innings and 14 overall. She fought out of several situations with runners on base, but pulled through with clutch pitchers and with clutch defense behind her.

“She’s pretty tough mentally even though she’s only a freshman,” Murray coach Danny Jensen said.

“We were still working on that last year, she would have gotten more rattled as an eighth grader.”

The lone run Wookey surrendered was on an infield single in the sixth

inning where Lenox’s Jacy Stoaks scored from second in an aggressive move.

Lenox coach Tom Shields noted that he liked how his girls continued to fight.

“I think three innings in a row where we were threatening and just couldn’t get over the hump,” Shields said. “We finally got the one run. You don’t want to be shut out... They had a chance to end it in early in the fifth inning and we kept fighting.”

Both Breianna Klein and Madison Gonseth took Lenox starting pitcher Teya Still deep, Klein in the first and Gonseth in the fourth. Gonseth’s blast to just left of deep center, drew collective “ooh’s” from those in attendance as her homer flew long beyond the makeshift fence and gave Murray a 9-0 lead in the fourth. Klein’s home run was her second

of the year.

“Lenox and us have a long history, “ Jensen said.

“Coach Shields and I have had some great games over the years and his teams always play hard. He gets a lot out of those guys.”

Murray improved its record to 3-1 and hosts an invitational tournament this coming weekend at home. That starts Friday.

Lenox is now 1-2 and faces Southwest Valley tonight (Thursday).

Tigers win wild one in Murray

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

MURRAY — A seven-run one-hit sixth inning meant the difference in Lenox’s 13-9 victory at Murray Wednesday night.

The Tigers sent 12 to the plate in the sixth inning and found a way to up their lead from 5-4 to 12-4. Sloppy play in the field contributed in this inning and throughout, as Murray notched five errors.

In the sixth inning, the Tigers took advantage of six walks, a hit batsman a sacrifice fly and a single hit in scoring the aformentioned seven runs.

The Mustangs had to go to their bullpen several times in the inning used five pitchers overall.

“I think you’ve seen our depth at pitching. We’ll come in and throw strikes,” Lenox coach Jesse Cox said “We really do have seven or eight guys that can jump up on that mound and throw strikes for us.”

Lenox’s two-through-four spots in the lineup bashed hard hit balls all night. Dawson Tullberg had a resounding 4-for-5 night at the plate with a double, three runs and two runs-batted-in.

Colton Hogan went 1-for-3 with two runs and 3 RBIs. Leevi Marshall knocked

in three runs on two hits in three at-bats. The Tigers were patient at the plate at put pressure on the Mustang defense with steals, swiping 12 on the night.

“We were patient…We just try to find a way to get on whether it be a walk or hit. We like to utilize our speed,” Cox said.

Murray fell behind right at the outset of the game 2-0 after RBI-singles from Hogan and Marshall scored Tullberg and Hogan respectively.

The Mustangs got three back immediately after, as they reached Lenox starter Colton Gordon for three hits, a walk, and a hit-bypitch.

Big lefty Kenny Boles gave the lead back on the mound by giving up two runs in the third after a perfect second inning. That 4-3 Lenox lead quickly evaporated in the second when Murray scored a run off a walk. Derek Venteicher had come in with the bases loaded with a one-run lead but managed to get out of the frame with the tie intact after a lineout resulted in a double play force at second base.

Lenox tacked on a run in the fifth on a Hogan chopper to score Dawson to give Lenox the lead that it would hold for the remainder of the game.

er in the seventh by bashing out more than a few singles.

Four seventh-inning singles had the Mustangs knocking on the Tigers’ door before Kaleb Anderson came in to slam it shut and secure the road win.

“We just huddled up there and said ‘Hey, let’s show people that we have pride in what they’re doing and play the game to the last out’ and that’s what they did,” Murray coach Travis Held said.

Murray has a tough stretch laid out before them.

“We’ve got four games next week starting off here with Mount Ayr…it will test our pitching,” Held said.

Murray clashes with Mount Ayr on Monday.

Lenox, now 4-1, matches up with Southwest Valley tonight.

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

Any surprise from last week’s Hall of Fame voting?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Disappointed in the big weekend doubleheader?

GODSPEAK: The 100th Indy 500 had some interesting twists. Martin Truex Jr. stunk up the show at Charlotte.

KEN’S CALL: Indy decided on fuel mileage, Charlotte a oneman show. Pretty unfulfilling, but as they say, that’s racin’.

I was pulling for Robert Yates, but not shocked he has to wait another year. I think Mark Martin waited at least one year longer than he should’ve waited to get voted in, but that’s OK. In terms of really attracting attention with a new Hall class, we’ll have to wait a couple more years for Jeff Gordon’s induction, followed the next year by Tony Stewart’s.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM COCA-COLA 600

Will we ever hear of Alexander Rossi again?

Maybe not, but let’s face it, there have been several Indy 500 winners who were far from household names, especially in the past couple of decades. It’s always disappointing to see a race — especially a big race — decided on fuel mileage, but remember, Indy was largely a test track when it was built in 1909, so milesper-gallon calculations are hardly new there.

Could Martin Truex go on a roll now?

GODSPEAK: Ever time Truex wins a race, everybody thinks he’s going to break out. It hasn’t happened yet.

KEN’S CALL: He made it look easy Sunday, but still, it’s easier to lose races than win them.

Any shoo-in for next year’s Hall of Fame?

GODSPEAK: Smokey Yunick.

Oh, NASCAR’s Hall? Robert Yates and Buddy Baker.

KEN’S CALL: Two, I think.

Robert Yates and Ray Evernham. I figured one of them would’ve entered in last week’s vote but neither did.

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar

What’s wrong with Junior?

Five straight races without a top-10 finish. That’s rough for a team that’s supposed to contend for wins and maybe even a championship. Give it a few more weeks and you’ll likely see some shake-up around the fringes, but no major panic just yet. Maybe his guys have been sharing tool boxes with Kasey Kahne’s crew.

1. Record breaking

2. Toyota’s year

3. Best quote

Martin Truex Jr. led 392 of 400 laps in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, which set track and NASCAR records for amount of laps led and total miles (588) in one race. There were just nine lead changes among four drivers.

So far, this has been Toyota’s year. Truex marks the fifth Toyota driver to win in 2016 and Toyota drivers have won eight of 13 races to start the 2016 season, including seven of the last eight Cup Series races. Among all those wins are two crown jewels, the Daytona 500 and Coke 600.

Second-place Kevin Harvick came up with the best quote when talking about his race.

“Well, I saw Truex for about 50 miles or 75 miles,” he said.

“The rest of the night I never saw him. I was back there swatting flies in the middle of the pack.”

Matt Kenseth’s No. 20 Toyota won’t run the Dollar General colors in 2017 after the company decided to put its marketing dollars to work in other areas next year. This pull-back is tough for Joe Gibbs Racing, which has enjoyed a 30-race deal with Dollar General since the 2012 season. The company called this “strictly a business decision” but has put JGR’s marketing sales department into a mad scramble.

3. Stewart watch

Matt Kenseth, shown here after winning the Cup race at Dover three weeks ago, will be wearing different colors in 2017 with Dollar General pulling out of racing.

2. More shifting Because of Pocono Raceway’s unique three-turn layout and long straightaway runs,

drivers will actually shift up and down during this Sunday’s race to maximize speeds.

You don’t normally see this

Tony Stewart didn’t do himself any favors by finishing the Coke 600 in 24th place, five laps down to winner Martin Truex Jr. Stewart is 35th in points and 60 points behind 30th-place David Ragan.

The three-time NASCAR Cup champ has 13 regular-season races to climb to 30th in points and win a race to make the Chase playoffs. Stewart missed the first eight races of the season due to a preseason back injury.

KEVIN HARVICK VS. MARTIN TRUEX JR.: No incidents of note during the CocaCola 600, so we’re going with the fact Harvick hates to finish second and Truex whipped everyone’s butt Sunday.

Southwest Distributing Co. Creston, Iowa

DID YOU KNOW?

It seems like only weeks ago that he was plucked from Serving Southwest Iowa since 1956

the minor leagues to fill in for the injured Sterling Marlin in 2002 and won in his second start. But this week, on Friday, James Christopher “Jamie” McMurray turns 40.

He was born on June 3, 1976 in Joplin, Missouri.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg sophomore Ashton Carter, senior Madison Hance and senior Camryn Somers celebrate after the completion of the Class 4A girls state golf tournament Wednesday at Coldwater Golf Links in Ames.

GOLF:

CONT. FROM | 7A

Hance said. “When we made it, I was so excited. The atmosphere and environment would be so much more fun with all the girls here to support you. It’s so much more fun than when you don’t know anyone.”

Having five teammates to share the experience with made state enjoyable for senior Camryn Somers.

Somers placed 35th with a two-day total of 204.

“The most important part was getting here, being here with my team,” she said. “It’s definitely something I look forward to every year to be with this group of girls. We all have fun and giggle. We have a lot of fun no matter where we’re at.”

The two seniors have left an indelible impact on Creston/O-M girls golf.

“They’re really good players and they’re even better

kids,” McKim said. “We’re going to miss them. They’re irreplaceable.”

Fellow assistant Jon Thomson walked among the players throughout the day.

How the two seniors played both at state and throughout their careers will be something he remembers well past this season.

“We’re going to miss Camryn and Madison as our seniors leaders,” Thomson said. “They’re leaving quite the legacy. It was a pleasure watching both of those two play golf. I look forward to seeing great things from those two.”

Sophomore Ashton Carter led the Panthers with a twoday tally of 182, good for an 11th-place finish.

Carter, like her teammates, fought through some tough spots in the round.

She still left pleased with the score.

“It’s not too bad, especially for this course,” Carter said. “It’s a pretty difficult

course.”

The course tested every part of a players game, especially the mental side.

“It takes a lot of patience and confidence in each and every shot,” Carter said.

“You have to have patience, take time with every shot.”

Carter heads back to southwest Iowa excited about where her game can go.

“I take away a lot from this year,” Carter said. “I definitely want to come back next year.”

Sophomore Sophia Groumoutis was 38th with a twoday tally of 208. Junior Hayley Osmun was 49th with a two-day tally of 223, while Shawler was 55th with a twoday tally of 272.

Wednesday marked the end of an era for the program as longtime coach Jan Lesan officially retired after the competition. More on Lesan will appear in “Kronberg’s Korner” in a future CNA sports section.

While the program is losing a pair of solid seniors in Hance and Somers, the future looks to be very bright.

Four others are back, with Carter leading the way and more quality players on their way.

“We’ve got some great talent coming up through the middle school,” Thomson said. “Hopefully this starts another tradition for us in girls golf.”

This team, though, will cherish the two days it just had at state.

“They’ll never forget this experience,” Thomson said.

Also among Hawkeye 10 teams, Atlantic was victorious in Class 3A with a team score of 696. Shenandoah was fourth with a 750.

Atlantic’s Brooke Newell was the runner-up individually in Class 3A. The Trojans’ Erin Olsen was fourth.

Clarinda’s Grace Davidson was eighth and Shenandoah’s Anna Carlson was ninth.

Real Estate Report GET A GREAT CREDIT SCORE

Credit Utilization: If you have 3 cards with a total limit of $10,000 and owe $2,500, your rate is 25%. If you add another card, increasing your limit, your rate would be less. A lower % is most desirable. Be careful because getting the card could be a hard inquiry on your credit. Stay away from store cards (get 20% off if you apply now). The age of your cards/loans helps your score also. If you’re canceling a card, cancel the newest. Make your payments on time. If you have trouble doing this, set up an automatic payment. Check your credit history. 25% of people find errors on their credit reports. If they are big enough, they impact your score.

for a fun, colorful outdoor living space

(BPT) - Mother Nature is the ultimate exterior designer, and she shows off her chops every spring and summer when backyards come alive with colorful flowers, birdsong, warm breezes and the lush aroma of newly mown grass. Is your deck, patio or other outdoor entertaining area living up to her standards?

If your backyard entertaining space could stand some freshening and pops of color, the outdoor living experts at Big Lots point to these eight elements to turn any patio or deck into a paradise worthy of Mother Nature’s brilliance: 1. A perfect patio set Patio furniture is the focal point of any outdoor living space, how you use your patio or deck should guide your choice of furnishings.

If you’ll be doing a lot of outdoor dining, a table and chairs are essential. Do you envision relaxed evenings chatting with friends in a comfortable setting? Outdoor sofas, love seats, benches and gliders, arranged around a coffee table, can create an intimate area.

Shopping for patio furniture doesn’t have to be a challenge; you can find a wide selection of affordable styles, colors, pieces and materials at home stores like Big Lots.

2. Colorful cushions and pillows Even the most-loved, highest quality patio set can benefit from replacing old, faded cushions with something new, colorful and exciting. New cushions can completely change the look of your entire outdoor living space, and remind you why you fell in love with your furniture in the first place. Don’t just stop with replacing chair cushions, however. Add toss pillows in colors or patterns that compliment your chair cushions, and pile them on your outdoor sofa to create a comfortable, bright seating area.

3. Fabulous firepits When the temperature drops on a spring evening, who wants to head indoors? Adding a firepit to your outdoor living space is a great way to extend your enjoyment of it well into the night. You don’t have to be a pro at building a fire to enjoy a firepit, either. Big Lots offers a gas-fueled firepit nestled inside a stone-topped table that makes starting a fire as easy as turning on the gas and flipping a switch. Arrange four plushly cushioned

rockers around your firepit table, and you have the perfect spot for evening chats.

4. An enlightened atmosphere Speaking of evenings outdoors, lights extend your entertaining hours and create inviting ambiance for patios and decks. Choose a mixture of light sources, such as candle-lit lanterns for a warm glow, solar lights to illuminate travel paths, and string lights that cast gentle light from above.

5. Smart shade sources Of course, much of your outdoor time will be spent in the sun, so take steps to provide some shade for your patio or deck. A range of versatile shade sources fit virtually every decor theme, and patio or deck size. Have a large, open concrete patio? A gazebo with a canopy and netting can provide shade and keep insects away from guests and food.

Want to move the shade with the sun? An offset umbrella with stand can help you put the shade exactly where you need it at any time of day. Traditional umbrellas shelter seating areas, and add bright pops of color to your outdoor decor.

6. Multiple seating areas In addition to the focal point of your patio or deck, use patio furniture to create separate seating areas for more flexible entertaining.

A small cast iron bistro set or bench situated beneath a tree is a great spot for quiet conversations, sipping your favorite beverage or

relaxing with a good book. A glider near the patio or deck is sure to be a favorite spot for parent-child chats.

7. A great grill station Whether you prefer a big, beautiful four-burner 48,000 BTU stainless steel gas grill or a traditional round charcoal kettle grill, a well-planned and efficient grilling station is a must for outdoor entertaining. Be sure to outfit your station with your grill of choice, a rack of accessories like a grilling tool set and grill brush, and a cooler for briefly storing food before it goes on the grill. Big Lots has everything you need to create a great grilling station.

8. A greener outdoor environment If you truly want to celebrate Mother Nature’s creativity, what better way could there be than to decorate your outdoor living space with her handiwork? Arrange flowers and greens in containers in a variety of shapes and sizes throughout your outdoor entertainment area. A small, brightly colored pot of pansies makes a wonderful centerpiece for your patio table. Plant a tall fern or palm in a large, vividly hued pot and use it as a natural division between “rooms” in your outdoor living space.

You can find all these must-have elements and more at affordable prices at your local Big Lots. For more information, or to find a store near you, visit BigLots.com.
