BNSF Railway Special visits Creston for employee appreciation ■

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad employees, their families and special guests took part in two train rides departing from Creston aboard the BNSF Railway Special Wednesday.

The BNSF Railway Special is a train equipped with 13 passenger cars of various styles. It allows BNSF to provide employee appreciation events to its approximately 48,000 employees.

“BNSF comes around each year and they select some locations to take their

employees, the communities on a train ride,” said Jared Knutstrom, division trainmaster of the Nebraska Division in Creston.

“Since about 1997, they’ve been doing this. I think I read somewhere around 17,000 passengers over the course of the time they’ve been doing this.”

Nearly 500 passengers, including Iowa State Representative Cecil Dolecheck, experienced the two trips to Stanton and back, each lasting about two hours.

Children and adults alike were wide-eyed with bewilderment while taking in the views of the southwest Iowa countryside from the train.

“The biggest feedback I saw was when you see kids’ faces glued to the windows or even some of the adults checking it out,” Knutstrom said. “It certainly makes everything well worth the time when you think about

About BNSF Headquarters: Fort Worth, Texas Miles of track: 32,500 miles Number of employees: 48,000 Info: BNSF Railway is one of seven North American Class I railroads and is the second-largest freight railroad network in North America. what it takes, and even the monetary value of what this may cost a company or organization to do, but yet the willingness to endure the cost to come out and do what they like to do for the communities and their employees.”

Greg Anderson of Creston brought his three young sons along for the evening ride, which departed Creston at 6 p.m. Wednesday and returned at about 8:15 p.m.

His sons – Charlie, age 7, Sam, 5, and Mikey, 2 – are all train enthusiasts who

soaked in the opportunity to ride in passenger cars used by the Santa Fe Railroad in the 1950s.

Charlie said his favorite part of the trip was “enjoying this beautiful view,” and he “thought it would be special to go on a passenger train for my second time.”

Greg said his sons started playing with trains as babies, since their grandfather has a large model railroad in his basement.

Looking for a future home design? Enjoy walking through houses? The Parade of Homes gives viewers that opportunity Saturday.

The Parade of Homes is sponsored by the Southwest Iowa Homebuilders Alliance (SIHA) and gives dreamers and idea seekers the opportunity to take in different design options.

SIHA is a local association created to promote local companies and individuals involved in building.

“Each year, it’s amazing.

The people who will go, there are your dreamers,”

said Craig Mittag, member of SIHA representing the Creston News Advertiser.

“But there are a lot of people who go on the Parade of Homes to get ideas to build a home in the future.”

This year’s Parade of Homes features seven houses that were built and are for sale by various companies.

The seven houses are: • 1405 Clayton Rd., by American Homes • 1692 Summit Park Lane,

by Brad Waltz • 908 W. Adair St., by Habitat for Humanity • 205 S. Elm St., by Winterstien Construction • 310 S. Walnut St., by HOMES | 2A

In Iowa, the president channels his inner candidate Trump CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — Struggling to advance his agenda in Washington, President Donald Trump traveled to the Midwest for a raucous rally with his loyal supporters — the kind of event he relished before winning the White House.

Trump touched down Wednesday evening in rainy Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and headed to a local community college, where he got a look at agriculture technology innovations before leading a campaign-style rally.

He reveled in Georgia Republican Karen Handel’s congressional victory in an election viewed as an early referendum on his presidency.

“We’re 5-0 in special elections,” T r u m p said in front of a boisterous crowd that packed a downtown a r e n a . Trump “The truth is, people love us ... they haven’t figured it out yet.”

He also applauded Republican Ralph Norman, who notched a slimmer-than-expected win in a special election to fill the South Carolina congressional seat vacated by Mick Mulvaney, his budget director, and mocked Handel’s

“THE TRUTH is, people love us ... they haven’t figured it out yet.”

challenger, Jon Ossoff, saying the Democrats “spent $30 million on this kid who forgot to live in the district.”

Trump, no stranger to victory laps, turned his visit to a battleground state he captured in November into a celebration of his resilience despite the cloud of investigations that has enveloped his administration and sent his poll numbers tumbling.

With the appearance in Cedar Rapids, he has held five rallies in the first five months in office.

The event underscores Trump’s comfort in a campaign setting. He laughed off the occasional heckler, repeated riffs from last year’s rallies and appeared far more at ease when going after Democrats in front of adoring crowds than trying to push through his own legislative agenda from the confines of the White House.

Trump’s aides are making a renewed push to get the president out of Washington. The capital is consumed TRUMP | 2A

with the investigation into Russian meddling in last year’s election and Trump’s firing of his FBI director.

Campaign rallies energize Trump by placing him in front of supporters who have stuck by him and are likely to dismiss the investigations as Beltway chatter.

Iowa, with its large share of independent voters, could be a proving ground for whether Trump can count on the support of voters beyond his base. Unaffiliated voters — or “no party” voters, as they are known in Iowa — make up 36 percent of the electorate, compared with 33 percent who register Republican and 31 percent who register as Democrat.

Self-identified independents in Iowa voted for Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton by a 13-percentage-point margin last year, according to exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks. That margin helped Trump take the state by nearly 9 points after Barack Obama won it for Democrats the previous two elections.

Trump held a Des Moines rally in December as part of his transition-era “thank you” tour of states he had won, but has not been back to Iowa since.

Wednesday night, he touted his administration’s efforts to roll back regulations, mused about putting solar panels on a Mexican border wall, derided wind power for killing birds in a state that uses a lot of it and revealed that he urged the Senate to create a health care plan “with heart. Add some money to it!”

He avoided any discussion of the scandals surrounding his presidency, other than one brief reference to the “witch hunt,” which is what he has dubbed the probes

rade. Those booths are from local businesses such as C&J Conservation LLC, First National Bank, ISSB, J&A Flooring, PCSB Bank, Stalker Chevrolet, UCDA and Westman Windows.

The alliance is giving away scholarships to three Southwestern Community College students this year. They are Jasper Fine, John (JD) Gordon and Devin Russo.

Admission on the Parade of Homes is free and SIHA expects anywhere from 200 to 300 people to attend this year’s gathering.

This year’s annual event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. into his campaign’s ties to Russia.

Trump’s evening in Iowa began with a tribute to former Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, whom he appointed the United States’ ambassador to China. He hailed Branstad, the longest-serving governor in the nation’s history and an early Trump backer, as “a legend” and “one great man.”

Trump’s stop at Kirkwood Community College was intended to draw attention to the school’s advancements in high-tech agriculture, but he resisted sitting behind the wheel of a virtual reality device that simulated a giant combine harvester. He was joined by Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross as part of the administration’s latest theme week, this time to highlight the importance of technology. He later touted the wealth of Ross and chief economic adviser Gary Cohn, saying: “Those particular positions, I just don’t want a poor person. Does that make sense?”

But much of Trump’s attention was on the suburbs of Atlanta, in the 6th Congressional District race.

Democrats had lavished attention and money on Tuesday’s special election, hoping for a victory that would underscore Republican worries about Trump and serve as a harbinger of a Democratic wave in 2018.

Instead, Handel’s victory, in a traditional Republican stronghold that rarely produces a competitive contest, was met with a sigh of relief among the GOP. Trump tweeted several times during the night and capped the night off with a text message to supporters referring to his “Make America Great Again” slogan: “The MAGA Mandate is stronger than ever. BIG LEAGUE.”

Today is June 22, the 173rd day of the year. So, there are 192 days left in 2017. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (June 19-25) in history:

10 years ago During a Creston City Council meeting, when discussion turned to the city making up any shortfall for the skatepark planned in McKinley Park, tempers flared and after 30 minutes into the exchange, Councilwoman Marsha Wilson walked out and stated her resignation on the way. Wilson felt the issue had been “beat to death” for over a year and the kids had worked and worked for the skatepark. She said the commitment had been made and it was something that needed to be done. In the end, the contract was signed and plans would proceed as designed.

Maurices clothing store discontinued their men’s line and began offering a plus-size line for women from size 16 to 24.

20 years ago Brady Steenhoek had a stellar night in baseball, hitting his eighth and ninth home runs to break the school record. His ninth home run was a grand slam in the nightcap game against Martensdale-St. Marys. In the two games, he collected five RBIs and four hits.

Tim Rummer of Corning dreamed of owning the American Theater in Corning and realized it May 30, 1997, when the 18-yearold bought the theater after working there in high school. “When I was in elementary, I wanted to be a baseball player because of the movie ‘The Naturalist,’ Rummer said. “In junior high, I wanted to be an archaeologist because of ‘Indiana Jones,’ and in high school, I realized it was actually the movies that I wanted to be a part of.”

to perform wedding ceremonies for RAGBRAI riders during the Creston overnight stop July 21, 1997.

50 years ago A pilot from Arkansas was piloting a Snow agricultural plane to plant 60 acres of soybeans on the Herman Reimer farm, eight miles southeast of Creston.

The bean field was being replanted because the first planting had not done well as a result of the continued wet weather. The plane’s spray hopper was filled with beans, which were dropped through a special planter bar below the aircraft as the plane made repeated low passes across the field.

It was the first time aerial

planting of soybeans had been tried in this area but had been successful in Arkansas and other southern states. After the planting was finished, the plane was used for aerial spraying for weed control.

Pope Paul VI renewed the Roman Catholic Church’s ancient rule of celibacy for its priests despite growing pressure for relaxation of the ban on marriage. In an encyclical letter of more than 13,000 words, the Pope said, “Priestly celibacy had been guarded by the Church for centuries as a brilliant jewel and retains its value undiminished even in our time when mentality and structures have undergone such profound changes.” The Pope rejected

various arguments against celibacy and cited reasons for maintaining the rule.

Micah Bertin,18, of Edison, New Jersey, fought the local school board for his right to retain droopy sideburns and participate in his official class graduation. Recent 1967 reports suggested conformist societies tend to stress short haircuts, while the right to wear hair like youth like is the glory of free society. “Youth Beat” magazine noted that hip hair fashions for guys called for combing hair forward, while dads usually combed hair back.

Latest census showed the favorite pets still far out number horses with more than 24 million dogs and 22 million cats in 1967 America.

City in eastern Iowa celebrates completion of bicycle trail BETTENDORF (AP) — City officials in eastern Iowa are celebrating the completion of the city’s last section of the Mississippi Riverfront Trail.

A ribbon-cutting event was held in Bettendorf on Tuesday to celebrate the trail’s completion, the

Quad-City Times reported. The city’s section of the trail cost about $670,000 and includes the construction of a new steel and concrete bridge over Crow Creek.

Bettendorf Mayor Bob Gallagher said the bike trails add to the health

of the Quad-Cities and will attract tourists. It also connects the city

with communities along the Mississippi River, he said.

The victim only wanted an assault charge to be filed. A simple assault rather than domestic abuse was filed at the victim’s request. Welsch admitted to striking the victim in the face. Welsch said she did it because the victim would not give Welsch’s son’s cell phone back to her, which she pays for.

Welsch was released on $300 bond.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, June 22, 2017

Party in the Park this weekend The annual fundraiser for Creston Parks and Recreation is Saturday.

It looks like the weather gods are going to cooperate with the highs only in the 70s. So it should be a nice evening to come out and take in some music in McKinley Park. Tickets are $15 today and Friday and go up to $20 day of the show. Make a trip to the park, the money goes to a great cause – upgrading the park.

Fireworks Even with the stands selling fireworks, I haven’t heard much noise around town. Of course, you cannot legally shoot them in the town of Creston. I’m sure a number of folks will be skipping the trip to Missouri this year and get their fireworks right here in Iowa. Hopefully by next year we will be able to shoot fireworks in town.

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

Fourth of July The celebrations will be going full swing over the Fourth of July holiday in both Creston and Osceola. Both towns put on a great fireworks show and celebration.

There will be some new events in the park and couple of old events that will no longer be going on. We will miss the tractor and power show that has been going on for the last 20-some years. But, we will welcome in a bags tournament, 3-on-3 basketball, pizza eating contest and music with the fireworks. You can get a full rundown of events

at the Creston Chamber online or look for the events in next week’s CNA.

Dinner I had the chance to have dinner with our Governor Kim Reynolds and Lt. Governor Adam Gregg. The two were very fun to talk with. They both are easy to talk with and covered a wide range of topics from what’s going on in the state to their families.

They were both excited to meet and have dinner with President Donald Trump and various members of his cabinet this week. I think both will have their hands full with the ag economy struggling to stay afloat due to low crop prices. Those low prices are going to continue to create havoc on the state’s budget.

The Governor has two upcoming trips to China and Isra-

el to help “peddle” Iowa products abroad. Plus, I know Gov. Reynolds was looking forward to having a sit-down talk with new Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue on the same subject of selling Iowa products overseas. She also informed me the first boxes of Iowa beef left the state this week to China.

Meat I notice the meat prices going up and staying up. Whether it’s chicken, beef or pork, all of these meats have seen some pretty good increases over the last year. Steaks have taken a big increase over the last year.

The problem is “choice” beef is in short supply. Iowa is now sending beef to China which makes the supply tighter here in Iowa. Chicken is also at a longtime high. The problem there is we are low on chickens due to

the lower procreation rate of the new birds.

We need 9 billion birds a year to keep up our supply and the lower hatch rate has lowered the number of chickens going to market. Pork has also taken a big increase since the Memorial Day weekend and has stayed there.

So your Fourth of July BBQ will be a little bit more expensive this year.

Gas Gas prices have come down.

The price of a barrel of crude is looking like it will go under $40 sometime soon. Gas is $2.03 per gallon this week and may have a chance to be under $2 by the Fourth of July. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Thought for the week: “Patriotism is like charity – it begins at home.” – Henry James

Retiring from show biz HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Hollywood Reporter announced Tuesday three-time Best Actor Oscar winner Daniel Day Lewis is retiring from the movie business. Generally speaking, retirement from Hollywood means one of two things. Either he’s had his breast implants removed or he’s coming out in favor of Trump.

The Los Angeles Coroner reported Monday that Carrie Fisher’s autopsy revealed the drugs she had taken before she passed out and never regained consciousness during a flight six months ago. She was sitting on a plane flight while on heroin, ecstasy, opium and cocaine. I can’t even get peanuts.

The NFL settled a lawsuit out of court with a charity in order to prevent NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell from going on record to state the league’s policy on gambling. The NFL gambling policy is pure. The whole idea of the Super Bowl is to teach kids there is more to life than video poker.

New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio suffered falling job approval numbers this week because the city is beset by quality-of-life problems.

It’s always something. A switcher malfunction caused New York subways to stall on their tracks on Tuesday, persuading thousands of New Yorkers to urinate at home.

The Supreme Court ruled that a company has the right to have a name that may be offensive to some people. It’s because of free-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

speech rights. So there’s nothing that Indians can do to get rid of the Washington Redskins name, and there’s nothing New Yorkers can do about Trump Tower.

President Trump released his financial records Monday which revealed he made $600 million last year while being elected President of the United States of America.

You heard right. The news resulted in a one-day moratorium on late-night comics telling Trumpis-Stupid jokes.

Time magazine reported George W. Bush and Barack Obama enjoyed excellent approval ratings in a Gallup poll Tuesday.

That’s logical. The Trump administration has been so exciting that invading the wrong country and quadrupling health care premiums seems like the good old days.

President Trump tweeted Tuesday that China has been unable to dissuade North Korea from developing nuclear weapons. I have a two-liter bottle of Diet Coke and a box of Mentos inside my refrigerator. This means that my nuclear weapons program is more advanced than North Korea’s.

President Trump’s star on Hollywood Boulevard was defaced with swastikas and profanities Tuesday. It’s a hustling street full of Hispanic construction workers,

Asian nail salons, Russian jewelers, Arab coffee shop owners and Persian clothiers. Police have narrowed the list of suspects down to everybody.

British Prime Minister Theresa May sent negotiators to Brussels to begin negotiating Britain’s exit from the European Union as approved by voters last year. We’re all flying blind here. The Brexit is the first time the British have broken an agreement with Europe without beheading a Queen.

The Las Vegas Sun reports prostitutes at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada pitched in to form a political action committee. They want to help political candidates campaign for public office in Nevada and in Washington, D.C. It’s their way of giving back to the hooker community.

The Wall Street Journal reported bond market concerns Monday that Illinois was on the verge of declaring bankruptcy. The money could have gone anywhere. Illinois is the only state where the current governor rides around in a town car bearing license plates made by the previous governor.

Oklahoma Sooners star Baker Mayfield paid a fine for his February arrest in Arkansas. He was caught on video being drunk, disorderly and fleeing a cop who tackled him. Next spring, Baker Mayfield could be the first college football player to be drafted by both the NFL and the Comedy Store.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Adding on to summer learning

HOROSCOPE For Friday, June 23, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) On the upside today, you are positive, energetic and full of clever ideas. On the downside, this is an unpredictable day anything could happen.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep an eye on your finances and your cash today, because things are unpredictable. You might win; you might lose.

However, you certainly will have moneymaking ideas.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You are ambitious today. You feel independent and self-reliant. In a way, you want to start something fresh and new, or at least meet new people.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel a bit restless today. You have that feeling that you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. (If it does, we all know it will be ugly and in the wrong size.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A friend might surprise you today, or you might meet someone who is a real character. Either way, this is not a boring day when it comes to interacting with others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) A conversation with a boss, parent or authority figure might surprise you today. This person might offer an opportunity to you, or he or she might take a position that you least expect. Wait to see what happens. (Don’t quit your day job.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Everything to do with travel is unpredictable today; therefore, you might have to take a last-minute trip. Conversely, travel plans might be canceled or changed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Discussions about shared property, taxes, debt or inheritances might take a surprising turn today. Be ready for this.

Ideally, do your homework ahead of time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) It’s hard to predict how a partner or close friend will react to something that happens today. This person might be pleased, or he or she might become upset. You will find out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Because you’re full of innovative, original ideas today, you will impress others at work. Nevertheless, other people could trigger changes that you least expect. Stay on your toes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Surprising flirtations, as well as unexpected results and sporting events, will make this an interesting day. Parents

should keep an eye on their kids.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A family member might throw you a curveball today or do something that you least expect. Be ready for this.

Hopefully, you will like it.

YOU BORN TODAY You are creative, sensitive and very loyal to your family.

Many of you attract wealth.

This is a social, happy year with bright and cheerful vibra-

tions. Broaden your social circle to include new contacts.

Romance and love affairs may bloom. You want to live life to the fullest. This year is a year of choice. You might face an important decision. Happiness is having alternatives.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: Even though school is out for the summer, I want my grandchildren to continue to learn!

We love reading stories to each other at bedtime and throughout the day, but we really have fun PRACTICING MATH. When they (ages 4 and 7) are visiting, one will randomly call out to me, “Grandma, what’s three plus two?” And then it begins. I answer, “Five,” of course, and then I throw one out: “What’s two plus one?” “What’s five plus zero?”

And we never forget about subtraction: “What’s seven minus six?” And we are starting to throw in a little multiplication: “What’s two times two?” “What’s three times zero?” Doing it fast results in lots of giggling!

They have loads of fun practicing, and they are keeping my mind sharp, too!

This takes only around 30 minutes a day, and they will be more prepared for school come fall. – Grandma Pat in Florida GARAGE SALE Dear Heloise: Here are some good hints for people who are planning a garage sale:

* In most cases, you just want to get rid of clutter.

Don’t price items according to what you paid for them. * Most people come on the first day of the garage sale, so that is your best chance to make some money. * Have your garage sale around the fifth of the month, not at the end of the month, when people have already spent their money. * Make your signs clear – print large, and take the signs down after the sale is over. * Don’t hold merchandise unless you get a deposit. * Don’t sell junk or things you know are broken. – A Reader in Cleveland One of my favorite hints is to arrange the merchandise in little scenes so they tell a story and are more appealing! – Heloise THE WRITE STUFF Dear Heloise: When I go to the grocery store, I write my list on a large “sticky note” and stick it to the handle of the grocery cart. That way, it is always in front of me, and I don’t lose it. My hands are free to shop and place things in the cart. – L.M.S. in Virginia

LINT PICKER Dear Heloise: Here’s a moment I had: I was cleaning out my unplugged hair dryer, trying all sorts of things to pick out the lint, and after being almost done, I thought of my little vacuum to finish the job! – A Reader, via email You also can use an old toothbrush – it works great!

– Heloise PICTURE THIS Dear Heloise: One of my biggest pet peeves is going through a magazine at the doctor’s, dentist’s, etc., and looking at a picture of some wonderful food.

Then I turn to the recipe, and it has been torn out.

I would just take out my phone and take a picture of the recipe, and that way someone else can enjoy it. – Pam L., Rochester, Minn.

Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise@Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Perez slam sinks Red Sox KANSAS CITY — Salvador Perez hit his first career grand slam in the eighth inning, giving the Kansas City Royals a 6-4 win over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday afternoon.

The Royals have now won nine of 11 and are within a game of .500.

Perez homered on the ninth pitch he saw from Robby Scott (0-1) with the bases loaded and no outs.

The inning started with Boston leading 4-2, reliever Matt Barnes walked Jorge Bonifacio and Lorenzo Cain. Scott came on to face Eric Hosmer, who was also given a free pass.

Joakim Soria (3-2) worked a perfect eighth for the win. Kelvin Herrera worked around a leadoff double for his 17th save.

Cards rally PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Cardinals used the long ball to rally and small ball to win.

Tommy Pham’s second solo homer off Hector Neris in the ninth inning tied it and the St. Louis Cardinals came back from a 5-0 deficit to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-6 in 10 innings Wednesday night.

Jedd Gyorko hit a two-run homer and pinch-hitter Jose Martinez also connected for St. Louis.

“Any time you come back like that, it feels real good, shows we have a lot of character,” Pham said.

The game went to extra innings after Freddy Galvis lined a double down the left-field line with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, but Odubel Herrera ran through a stop sign, around third-base coach Juan Samuel and was thrown out by 10 feet.

He didn’t even attempt to slide.

DIAGONAL — AJ Dorsey went down the Diagonal batting order and shut down the Maroonettes with eight strikeouts and three hits allowed during a five-inning, 11-0 victory for Southeast Warren Wednesday evening.

Dorsey had a large lead to work with before ever throwing a pitch.

The Warhawks benefited from multiple walks issued

by Maroonette pitcher Emily Newton, and moved them around on walks, passed balls and small ball.

Multiple bunts by Southeast Warren were mishandled by Diagonal, and thrown away.

Southeast Warren put seven runs on the board on just

a couple of hits.

“First inning we struggled with some bunts, struggled with bunts and passed balls,” Diagonal coach Matt Warren said. “Gave up seven and from there our spirits were down. But we did get out of some jams and minimize some of the damage.”

Newton settled down and threw more strikes as the contest wore on. She worked out of several jams with runners on, but gave up four more runs over the next three innings.

She struck out four batters and walked nine.

Brooklynn Page drove in a run on a groundout in the second and the Warhawks scored another on a passed ball.

Diagonal’s best scoring opportunity came in the second when Allison Norris bopped a two-out triple to right field.

Erick Aybar hit a tying home run in the sixth inning, Luis Torrens walked with the bases loaded against Koji Uehara in the eighth and the Padres stopped a three-game losing streak by beating the Chicago Cubs 3-2 on Wednesday.

Torrens, a rookie who started at catcher for the second straight game for the injured Austin Hedges, took a 3-1 fastball that sailed inside with two outs to force in the go-ahead run. “It’s tough to get some veteran guys to do that,� manager Andy Green said. “Sometimes they want to win the game so bad swinging the bat that they don’t realize the walk is just as powerful in that situation.�

Uehara (2-4), the fifth of six Cubs relievers, replaced Pedro Strop starting the eighth and allowed singles to Wil Myers leading off and Cory Spangenberg with one out.

Aybar was intentionally walked, loading the bases, Matt Szczur fouled out and then the 21-year-old Torrens walked. “I think always focusing on little things, focusing on work and making adjustments,� Torrens said through a translator.

Jose Pirela started the comeback with an RBI single in the fifth off Eddie Butler, and Aybar tied the score against Brian Duensing.

Chicago rookie Ian Happ

hit a two-run homer in the fourth against reliever Craig Stammen, going deep for the second straight game and third time in four. Happ is hitting just .221, but has gone deep 10 times. “I feel like the at-bats are getting better,� Happ said. “You’re seeing some balls go out of the yard and hopefully if I keep making contact, some more will fall.�

Phil Maton (1-0), the third of five Padres relievers, pitched a scoreless seventh for his first major league win. Brandon Maurer got two outs for his 13th save in 15 Maton chances.

Maton, a 24-year-old from Chatham, Illinois, was delighted with where he got the victory. “Real cool� Maton said. “Growing up in central Illinois, all the Cubs fans lived in the area. Especially this awesome atmosphere, hard to beat it.�

Miguel Diaz, making his third major league start, left with one out in the third inning because of a right forearm strain. He allowed one hit and a walk, then was replaced by Stammen.

Cubs starter Eddie Butler gave up one run, five hits and three walks in four-plus innings, leaving after Stammen doubled leading off the fifth and scored on Pirella’s single.

Chicago’s Anthony Rizzo went 0 for 4, stopping a

career-high 14-game hitting streak. He failed to reach base in his opening at-bat for the first time since being moved the leadoff spot eight games earlier.

FACEOFF Nolan Patrick, a projected No. 1 pick on Friday at the NHL draft, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. He was joined two other top prospects, Casey Mittelstadt and Gabriel Vilardi, in a pregame ceremony.

TRAINER’S ROOM Padres: Green expects Diaz to miss his next start.

He said the right-hander was “experiencing tightness� and “having some trouble spinning the baseball.� . 2B Yangervis Solarte (strained left oblique) is “probably a day away from heading to the DL,� Green said before the game. The cleanup hitter was removed from Tuesday’s game in the first inning. ... Hedges (bruised thigh), hit hard by Rizzo in a collision at the plate on Monday, was available to pinch hit but did not play.

Cubs: OF/C Kyle Schwarber went 0 for 3, dropping his average to .171. He missed Tuesday’s game, a day after fouling a pitch off his right ankle on Monday. ... OF Jason Heyward missed his third game after scraping his left hand sliding in an attempt to catch a foul ball on Sunday.

UP NEXT Padres: Rookie RHP Dinelson Lamet (2-2, 7.50) starts Friday’s homestand opener against Detroit and RHP Michael Fulmer (6-5, 3.45),

NASCAR THIS WEEK SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Kyle Larson can win races; can he win a championship?

GODSPEAK: The race wins come first, then you lose a championship, then win one or two or more.

KEN’S CALL: Kyle could, but is the Ganassi team capable of carrying him there? We’ll see.

Best bet for surprise winner at Sonoma this week?

GODSPEAK: AJ Allmendinger’s winning would throw the Cup Series into chaos.

KEN’S CALL: Junior. It would be rather ironic if he figures out a road course on his way out the door.

MICHIGAN

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED

Why is Jimmie Johnson’s new contract good for NASCAR?

1. Earnhardt traction

In the past few years, big announcements with drivers involved retirements.

A seven-time champ, still in peak form with his 42nd birthday approaching, signing a brand-new three-year extension is a positive disruption in that wave of exits. There are some question marks hidden under the headlines, however.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is gaining much-needed traction as the NASCAR Cup Series goes into the summer stretch run. He finished ninth at Michigan. “We had a little bit better car than ninth, I thought,” he said. “After last week it’s good to get one finished.” Earnhardt needs a win to guarantee a playoff spot.

Such as …

2. Blaney fumbles

Lowe’s, the only primary sponsor Jimmie has ever had in the Cup Series, is only on board (for now) through 2018. This sets up the potential for awkwardness next year if a seven-time (maybe eight?) champ is scouring The Wall Street Journal for corporate funding. And then there’s the Chad Knaus question.

Crew chiefs generally age like dogs, so can Chad hang in there another three years? Would he want to?

Ryan Blaney scored his first career Cup Series win at Pocono and a week later, oops, a 25th-place finish at Michigan, and he caused a late multicar crash. “I hate that it took a couple cars out," he said. “I got really free for some reason.”

3. Funky question Joey Logano was asked if his team was “out of the funk” after finishing third at Michigan. “Yeah, I mean, are we out of the funk?” he said, repeating the question to make sure he heard the words correctly.

“Yeah, I think so. I'd like to think that, at least.” In other words, funk yeah!

FEUD OF THE WEEK

Dale Earnhardt Jr. scored his third top-10 finish of the season at Michigan, giving Earnhardt Nation hope the 42-year-old driver can make the NASCAR playoffs. [CHEVY RACING/JIM FLUHARTY]

THREE THINGS TO WATCH

DANICA PATRICK VS. DANIEL SUAREZ: Patrick was fighting to better her 15th-place running position, but was bumped off the track after contact with Suarez’s No. 19 Toyota after a late-race restart.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Patrick was not happy. “That was an unfortunate way to end what had been a promising weekend,” she said. “I had a good run and went for it and just got hit.”

1. Under microscope After an exchange with race fans who booed her at Pocono, followed by another crash at Michigan, this has been a rough patch for Danica Patrick.

She was trying to better her position in a scramble after a late restart and wound up in the wall on Sunday. Folks are talking, including Dale Earnhardt Jr. “She’s had a tough year,” he said during his podcast. “She’s under a lot of pressure” and “she’s frustrated.”

2. Pantry empty It’s difficult not to harp on the subject of the Joe Gibbs Racing program, since it dominated the series just a year ago. After 15 NASCAR Cup Series races in 2016, all JGR drivers had won and the team had combined for seven victories. Now Denny Hamlin gets a smile when he scores a top-five finish. “You

keep battling in the top-five and eventually you’ll have your chance,” said Hamlin, chin up, who finished fourth.

3. Playoff points Folks are starting to pay attention to these playoff points that Martin Truex Jr. is building in the No. 78 Toyota.

Truex finished sixth Sunday at

Michigan, but led Stages 1 and 2 to score two NASCAR playoff points. His series-leading total is 20, and he carries all those points through the first nine races of the 10-race playoff.

Jimmie Johnson is second with 15, followed by Kyle Larson (13) and Brad Keselowski (12).

Perfect round Iowa’s Logan Kelly has become the first archer to shoot a perfect score in 3D competition when he shot a 300 on June 17 at the International Bowhunters Organization Midwest Invitational National Archery in the Schools Program 3D Challenge tournament, in Bloomington, Indiana.

This national 3D competition is made up of six animal silhouette targets set broadside at various distances between 10 and 15 meters.

The 10 point ring is about the size of an adult fist. Each archer shoots five arrows per target scoring up to 50 points. To score 300, the archer must hit the center ring with all 30 arrows.

Another challenge – archers may not use a trigger release or sight marks.

“You have to aim with the tip of the arrow,” Kelly said.

“It’s pretty hard.”

Kelly said he started out strong but when he got to the fifth target his nerves had kicked in. “I told myself to calm down,” he said.

When the judge scored his sixth and final target as all 10s, the celebration began.

Kelly was presented a commemorative First 300 patch, targets, and a family membership to the International Bowhunters Organization.

Kelly, who is entering his sophomore year at Mount Vernon High School, will

The BNSF Railway Special sits on the tracks in Creston after returning from the evening trip to Stanton and back.

Nearly 500 passengers participated in two different rides on the train, which included 13 passenger cars used in the 1950s by the Santa Fe Railroad.

years ago, Greg said his wife drove so he and his sons could ride Amtrak back to Creston.

For Greg, Wednesday’s ride on the BNSF Railway Special provided a chance to bond with his three young sons. “It’s a lot of fun,� Greg said. “It’s fun to ride with friends of ours, co-workers, and it’s something that my kids and I can do together.

It’s better than anything on TV.�

in the upper deck of the Bay View car, known for its dome-window top, which allows for panoramic views.

Other cars included sleeper

cars and a party car, featuring a bar and open space for mingling.

The BNSF Railway Special reached a maximum speed of 60 mph during its two trips Wednesday, slowing down to meet regulations at various signals and when it met empty coal trains along the way.

Knutstrom said the general consensus is it has been about 10 years since the BNSF Railway Special last came to Creston.

With Creston being a smaller terminal in the BNSF network, Knutstrom said he was pleased to see the turnout for Wednesday’s train rides.

For BNSF employees, Wednesday’s rides provided a break from their typical train experiences. “Kind of like some of the other employees, it’s almost like it’s just another train,�

Knutstrom said. “But really, when you boil down to it, it’s not just another train. You think about the memories, the smiles and the lasting impressions on the people’s faces when they deboard the train and take off and you hope that in addition to the fun they had that maybe they learned something about the railroad. I hope everybody had fun. We’ll certainly look for it here in another 10 years.�
