Additions and alterations are in order for this year’s Union County Fair.

While historically a Saturday through Thursday fair, this year’s event will be held Thursday, July 20, through Wednesday, July 26, at the Union County Fairgrounds in Afton.

According to Union County Fair Board President Dannie Stephens, the changes were a long time coming.

“For quite a while,” said Stephens, “we’ve been kind of crunched — swine, sheep, everything was all the same day. The horse show, small animals — they were all on the same day. So this will give us a little more time

to spread those out, hopefully, and get those in (the fair) a little bit better than we Stephens have in the past.”

On top of adding a day to the fair’s length, the meat of the fair’s schedule will now be held over the weekend.

“By going over the weekend,” Stephens said, “we’re hoping it’ll help some of the working parents be able to be at the fair a little bit more, without having to take off work quite as much.

“Before,” Stephens continued, “the livestock came in Sunday afternoon and was there through Thurs-

Total solar eclipse 1st in 99 years to sweep width of US CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — This August, the U.S. will experience its first coast-to-coast total solar eclipse in 99 years.

Total solar eclipses occur every year or two or three, often in the middle of nowhere like the South Pacific or Antarctic. What makes this one so special — at least for Americans — is that it will cut diagonally across the entire United States.

The path of totality on Aug. 21 — where day brief-

ly becomes night — will pass over Oregon, continuing through the heartland all the way to Charleston, South Carolina. Those on the outskirts — all the way into Canada, Central America and even the upper part of South America — will be treated to a partial eclipse.

The last time a total solar eclipse swept the whole width of the U.S. was in 1918.

day. So parents had to be mostly showing during the week, which wasn’t good.”

A Saturday concert is also planned as the fair readjusts its schedule.

Jake Worthington, country artist and runner-up on season six of NBC TV show “The Voice,” will headline the night’s entertainment.

And the fair’s parade, previously held on Sunday evening, is moved to Saturday evening directly preceding the concert. But for those interested in the fair’s free night of entertainment, the fair’s opening day may be ideal.

“We’ll have the queen’s crowning at 6 p.m. (on Thursday),” said Stephens.

“It will be followed by the mounted shooting in the rodeo arena, and the Bill Riley talent show in the

church and the community. I try to write music every so often. The kids are a hobby. I do grilling and cooking and smoking and baking, anything I can eat.

• FAVORITE PART OF THE JOB: I think it’s

between helping people with something they actually have a need for and just the number aspect of the job. I like working with numbers.

• CAKE OR PIE? If it’s wedding cake, yes. Otherwise, pie.

“But the biggest news,” explained Adamson, “is that last Wednesday, we received an Enhance Iowa Community Attraction and Tourism grant. And that grant is for $262,533.

“BY GOING over the weekend, we’re hoping it’ll help some of the working parents be able to be at the fair a little bit more, without having to take off work quite as much.”

“Building on Tradition” is the fundraising campaign launched Feb. 1 to raise $1.5 million for a renovation project on the Union County Fairgrounds in Afton.

The renovation project includes a new 110-feet-by240-feet building that will house the sheep and hogs and also have a restroom facility and show arena.

The project also includes a 110-feet-by-160-feet building that will house the cattle.

Union County Fair Board Member Ben Adamson hopes the building project will be completed in time for next year’s fair.

“Our plans,” said Adamson, “are — as long as everything k e e p s going as planned — to sometime in the first few weeks in August Adamson start seeing some work being done in terms of disconnecting utilities and starting the demolition process of the existing buildings and dirtwork.

Police identified the man as 45-year-old Brian Wood, who lived in Linn Creek, Missouri.

And if late-July temperatures were worrisome for fair patrons in the past, Stephens hopes to keep crowds cool with the help of some new technology.

No tickets are required for this Monday matinee, just special eclipse glasses so you don’t ruin your eyes.

Here are some eclipse tidbits as you get ready to feast your protected eyes on perhaps the greatest of all cosmic spectacles.

What’s a total solar eclipse?

When the moon passes between Earth and the sun, and scores a bull’s eye by completely blotting out the sunlight, that’s a total solar eclipse. The moon casts a shadow on our planet. Dead center is where sky gazers get the full treatment. In this case, the total eclipse will last up to 2 minutes and 40 seconds in places. A partial eclipse will be visible along the periphery. Clouds

the fair. So when we have heat, we’ll have better cooling in the exhibit building, and in the commercial building. Those two buildings have been pretty hot in the past, so we’ve got three fans that will each put out vapor and cool 15 to 20 degrees for a pretty good sized space.”

Lastly, Stephens hopes the fair’s open class competitions will be freshly reinvorgated this year.

“We’ve got Sharon Gard-

ner,” said Stephens, “who came on the (fair) board this year. She’s helped in the 4-H building for years, and she’s handling that open-class now, and we’ll try and get that built back up because there’s more interest in that area. So we’ve got a renewed effort to get our open class back up to what it was a few years ago, and get them a little more presence.

“So we’re really excited about having a good fair,”

Stephens continued. “Like I say — the concert is kind of a new addition. And other than that, everything’s pretty much what we’ve been doing in the past.

We’re pretty excited about what we’ve got going on.”

piece — and we got room for a lot of bricks.”

Any individual interested in purchasing a donor-customized brick may contact any of the Union County Fair Board members or Adamson himself.

Adamson believes the success the fair board’s fundraising efforts have experienced thus far are emblematic of the community’s values.

“The community support that we’ve received,” said Adamson, “from the general public being positive about it to the businesses within Creston and Afton and Union County that have jumped on board and supported this, has been far better than I ever anticipated.

“It leads me to believe,” Adamson continued, “that the business owners of this

town and community, and the people of this community, really believe in our 4-H and FFA programs, and what they do for Union County.”

Those interested in making a contribution to the Union County Fair and its “Building on Tradition” capital campaign may send donations to Union County Fair Association, PO Box 283, Creston, IA 50801.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Fight the mites!

HOROSCOPE For Saturday, June 24, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Trust your instincts about making money today. However, if you go shopping, you might not be able to control your impulses. “I have to have it!”

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Today you will attract favorable situations and people to you. You will be like a magnet.

(Someone might find you irresistible.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be involved in a hidden situation or secret affair today. Something passionate and behind the scenes is taking place, that’s for sure.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Your interactions with friends and groups will be intense and powerful today. In fact, a friend could become a lover. You also might attract someone very powerful.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You will be impressed by a boss or someone in a position of authority today. You might even develop a crush on this person. Hmmm.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Discussions about politics, religion and racial issues will be intense today. Be aware of this in case you want to avoid a certain person. Issues will be very black-and-white.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Without a doubt, romance is very passionate today.

However, you might feel just as passionately about financial issues, especially property that has to be shared.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)You have strong feelings for a partner or close friend today, and it’s quite likely that these feelings are reciprocated. The emotions might be intimate or platonic. (It’s a pretty intense day.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Look for ways to introduce improvement and reform at work, because you’ll be effective today. Likewise, you can even improve your health.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) No matter what you do today (especially if it’s a fun-loving pastime, or something in the arts or sports), you will be intense about your participation in it. For some reason, everything matters to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a good day to think about how to renovate or redecorate bathrooms, laundry areas or anything to do with recycling. You want to make improvements to your home.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Those of you who sell, market, teach, act or write will be very powerful today because your words will resonate. You seem to know exactly what to say and whom to say it to.

YOU BORN TODAY You are independent, original and influential. You also are a great problem-solver and a natural leader. Because this is a year of growth, construction and building, it is a time to

organize your daily world in a practical way. Responsibilities will increase, magnifying the effort needed to maintain your life. Reduce your debt and strengthen your financial position, because you are building for your future!

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: How do you kill DUST MITES? I just moved into my first house, and I don’t want any dust mites in my house. – Juliana L., Blacksburg, Va. Juliana, dust mites love our homes because they live on dead flakes of skin and dander shed by people and pets. They can live about three months, and are found in every home worldwide.

They live in mattresses, pillows, blankets and other soft items. The best way to kill dust mites is with hightemperature cleaning. Wash all bedding in hot water and soap. There are some things that WILL NOT kill dust mites: * Sunlight will not kill them. * Vacuuming helps get rid of some mites, but does not remove ones deeply embedded in carpeting or mattresses. * Washing in cold water will not get rid of dust mites.

Dust mites don’t bite, but many people have an allergy to dust mite dirt. Since they are only as big as 1/10 of a human hair, you won’t see them, but they are present in your home. A gram of dust in a house can hold

over a thousand dust mites.

You can’t completely get rid of them, but by regular cleaning you can reduce their numbers in your home.

– Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com CLEAN THE SCREEN Dear Heloise: How do you clean an electronic screen on a computer, cellphone, iPad, etc.? I ruined my computer monitor by using the wrong cleaner on it!

– Bonnie V., Grand Forks, N.D. Bonnie, sorry to hear that, but it’s really easy to safely clean those screens.

You need to remember that these newer screens are not glass, and you shouldn’t use ammonia or other harsh cleaners on them. Do NOT use paper towels, either. A microfiber cloth, very lightly dampened, should help keep your screen clean.

When you need something stronger, try this do-it-yourself cleaner: * 1/2 cup water

SUDOKU

* 1/4 cup white vinegar * 1 spray bottle * Microfiber cloth Spray the cloth, NOT the screen, and gently wipe the screen in circular motions.

Never press hard on an electronic screen. – Heloise KITTY COMFORT Dear Heloise: When I take my cats to be boarded at the vet’s, I also take along their food and a “comforter,” which is a T-shirt and a favorite small rug – anything that smells of home or “Mom” to soothe them during their stay in the cages. – Frances B., Kerrville, Texas Frances, that’s a very good idea. I do the same thing for my dogs, and it helps them feel like I’m near them. – Heloise FRIDAY FUN FACTS Dear Readers: * The Earth’s population, by the year 2080, probably will be around 10 billion. * A hummingbird weighs less than one penny. * Women have twice as many pain receptors on their bodies as men, but have a higher tolerance for pain. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

hits double digits twice, stretch win streak to four

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

COUNCIL BLUFFS — Heading into the current calendar week, the Creston softball team had won just four games and was trying to come rectify the issues that came with a 14-game losing streak.

Thursday in Council Bluffs, the Panthers took out more frustrations with an emphatic doubleheader sweep in wins of 14-1 and 18-0 over St. Albert.

St. Albert had only one win coming into Thursday, so Creston coach Mike McCabe was hesitant to draw any broad stroke conclusions from the sweep, but the feeling of seeing the Panthers hit the ball so consistently was certainly a welcome one.

“It was good to get the bats going a little bit and same way in the first game.

We took advantage of some walks and miscues,” McCabe said.

Hagle and LaMasters inflicted a great deal of damage against the Saintes in the first game. Both contributed four RBIs apiece as Hagle blasted a double and triple and LaMasters poke

a hit that scored three in a five-run second inning for Creston, which led 6-1 after two innings.

The Panthers went on to score two in the third inning and six in the fourth to close out the first win.

Mattie Wheeler hit a triple that scored two runs in the fourth, and came all the way around to score on the play when the Saintes’ right fielder mishandled the throw.

“She’s popped a couple balls lately that have been hard hits lately,” McCabe said of Wheeler’s hitting over the last several games.

“She’s done a good job and it’s always nice to see a senior that has out in some time like that and improve and get a chance to improve.”

Tullberg pitches one-hitter

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

CORNING — The Lenox baseball team polished off a four-win week Thursday with a power approach at the plate and a sharp defensive effort behind the onehit pitching of senior Dawson Tullberg.

The only hit against Tullberg was a fifth-inning double by his counterpart, Southwest Valley pitcher Dustin Lund. He finished with five strikeouts and two walks in the game that ended on the state’s mercy rule at 12-1 in the sixth inning.

“My defense made tons of plays every inning,” Tullberg said. “They’re out there flying around, helping me out.”

That defensive effort

included two big plays made by left fielder Aaron Schmitz that kept Tullberg’s no-hitter intact in the third inning.

Evan Davis led off with a walk for Southwest Valley. Merik Gaule hit a high drive to left. Schmitz started to go back, turned to change direction and kept retreating until he reached up and caught the hard-hit drive for the first out.

After Joey Kernen flew out to Brenden Christensen in center field, Timberwolf leadoff batter Aiden Gaule appeared to hit a single in front of Schmitz in left.

However, Davis got a late break off first base.

Jared Hensley stood on second base to receive a strike thrown by Schmitz after he fielded the apparent base hit on one hop. The throw beat the Southwest Valley runner to the base for the third out.

“I was hearing my teammates telling me, and I just threw it as hard as I could to second,” Schitz said.

pitches despite enduring fatigue late in the game. She did not issue a walk.

Saige Rice ripped a tworun homer in the fifth inning, part of her 3-for-4, four RBI performance in game two, to put Creston up 7-0.

The Panther offense was far from finished, as Creston added 11 runs in the sixth and final win to secure its fourth straight game in double digits.

LaMasters plastered four hits, two doubles and two RBIs, Sara Keeler added three hits and an RBI for Creston in the second game, while Cayla Maitlen and Brielle Baker both had a hit and an RBI each.

Emma Hanson added two RBIs, while Braelyn Baker and Samantha Dunphy added late runs driven in as well.

“About everybody got a chance to get in late in the game,” McCabe said. “Near every one got a chance to swing the bat.”

A grand total of 18 hits was the damage for Creston at the end of the second contest.

Creston has now scored 58 runs in its last four games, all conference victories.

McCabe has been happy to see his team turn this week into a positive rather than dwell on the losses that built over a several week PANTHERS | 2S

AREA SOFTBALL ROUNDUP STAFF REPORT Lenox 16, Fremont-Mills 1 TABOR — Lenox scored early and late while Tiger pitcher TJ Stoaks mowed down Fremont-Mills batters throughout Lenox’s 16-1 road win Wednesday.

Stoaks struck out 17 batters, allowed four hits

and reaped the benefits of working with a commanding lead.

Jacy Stoaks was 3-for4 with a double and two RBIs. Makinna Fitzgerald, Brooke Miller, Emily Powell, TJ Stoaks and McKinna Hogan each had two hits.

The Tigers had 15 hits overall.

“I did like a first baseman’s stretch at the bag,” Hensley said. “It was a perfect throw.”

Later in the game Hensley took a toss off Kaleb Anderson’s glove just in time for a force at second on a ground ball, and Hensley nearly got the throw away in time for the double play at first. Anderson also fielded a bouncer near the bag, stepped on second and threw to Colton Hogan at first for a double play in the second inning.

“Those guys (Anderson and Hensley) probably take a minimum of 50 double play balls every day,” Lenox coach Tyler Peterson said.

“They know each other so well and they’re so comfortable with it. Aaron really had some nice plays in left for us tonight, too. That last catch there to end the game was right up against the (left field) fence.”

Anderson said the team has a renewed approach at

COUNCIL BLUFFS — St. Albert stayed in a second-place tie with Lewis Central in the Hawkeye 10 baseball race with a pair of victories over Creston Thursday, 4-3 and 10-5.

The Falcons improved to 11-4 in league play and 17-8 overall. Creston fell to 6-10 and 9-13.

Thursday’s opener was a battle to the finish as senior Kadon Hulett went the distance on the mound for the Panthers.

Creston took a 1-0 lead in the second inning before falling behind 3-1 in the third. The Panthers tied it at 3-3 in the top of the fourth and it stayed that way until St. Albert plated the winning run with one out in the bottom of the seventh. “We had threatened in our half of the seventh when Hulett reached on a walk and we got him to second,� Creston coach Steve Birchard said. “But we stranded him there with two strikeouts.

In their half they loaded the bases on two hit batters and a walk. So, we had the in-

Scott Belger to be honored during final season at Southeast Polk

By LARRY PETERSON assistant principal.

CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

PLEASANT HILL — Creston native Scott Belger will be honored between games of the Southeast Polk home doubleheader Monday against Waukee.

First game is at 5 p.m.

Southeast has organized the event honoring its longtime baseball coach during his final season. He was recently hired as the school’s

Belger was named Iowa Baseball Coach of the Year as part of the the 2016 All-Iowa Sports Awards a n nounced by the Des Belger Moines Register.

Belger, 1990 graduate of Creston High School,

earned several state awards after guiding the Rams to their second straight Class 4A state championship in 2015. Belger was honored as Class 4A South Central District Coach of the Year and Class 4A State Coach of the Year by the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association for the second consecutive year in 2015. He also joined the 500 win club that season.

Belger’s longtime chief assistant coach is Dave

Hartman, also of Creston.

Scott is the son of Pat and Vic Belger, now of Waukee.

Vic was a longtime Creston High School baseball coach, including the 1990 Class 3A state runner-up team that included Scott and younger brother Kurt Belger. Both Belger brothers and Scott Driskell, current Creston Community Elementary School principal, received all-state honors from that team.

There will be free admis-

sion for all former Rams baseball players and Rams Baseball Club players Monday night.

The Southeast Polk Community School District recently named Belger as the new high school assistant principal, effective July 1.

Belger has worked for the Southeast Polk District for 10 years, serving as a physical education teacher, coach, interim assistant activities director, and interim assistant high school princi-

pal. He received a master’s degree in education from Northwest Missouri State University in 1999 and a master’s degree in educational leadership from Drake University in 2016.

Belger lives in Des Moines with his wife Margi, and children Luke and Alexis Boord. Belger has been coaching high school baseball for 22 years and has served as Southeast Polk’s head baseball coach for the past 10 years.
