Afton man receives Governor’s Volunteer Award last week

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

AFTON — Don Sheridan received a 2014 Governor’s Volunteer Award from Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds during a special recognition ceremony held June 18 in Pleasant Hill.

Sheridan was honored with a Length of Service Volunteer Award by South Central Iowa Community Foundation (SCICF) for the service, dedication and leadership he provides to SCICF. Through SCICF, he is also a board member for Endow Union County.

“It’s always a great pleasure for me to honor and recognize the volunteers who accomplish extraordinary things through service to help their communities, fellow citizens, and the great state of Iowa,” said Gov. Tery Branstad. “These dedicated volunteers lead by example—not only encouraging the people they help, but motivating others to serve as well. I sincerely thank them all for their dedication and efforts.”

Sheridan said he enjoys local volunteer projects that help build a sense of community.

Don Sheridan of Afton receives 2014 Governor’s Volunteer Award from Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds during a special recognition ceremony held June 18.

“I get a kick out of it (volunteering),” Sheridan said. “But I want to volunteer for something that you get to see the fruits of your labor. You get to actually watch whatever you are doing grow and develop into something for your community.”

The Governor’s Volun-

teer Awards (GVA) program was created in 1982, with inaugural awards presented in 1983. What began as a small program for state government agencies, has expanded over the years and now provides all Iowa nonprofit, charitable, and government organizations with an easy way to honor

their volunteers with a prestigious state-level award.

Hundreds of volunteers are recognized each year with awards in one of four categories: Individual, Group, Length of Service or Disaster Volunteer.

“The Governor and I are strong believers that our community volunteers, charitable nonprofits, and faith-based institutions are often best equipped to provide long-term solutions to the challenges we face,” said Lt. Governor Reynolds. “Some of our most promising and cost-effective solutions to literacy, disaster response, drop-out prevention, and community development are fueled by tapping into our best assets—our people and our volunteer spirit.”

Sheridan said he is proud of the effort that is being put in at McKinely Lake to make it an attractive recreational area. He also said he is impressed with the work that has been put into the endowment fund at Mayflower Heritage School.

“Partnering is the key to a successful community foundation,” Sheridan said. “By working together they can accomplish things a smaller group could never handle on their own.”

Iraq conflict causes rising gas prices (MCT) — While some predicted gas prices to drop in June, violence in Iraq triggered increases around Iowa and the United States as we head into summer travel season, according to some industry observers.

Average prices of $3.56 per gallon for regular unleaded gas in Iowa and $3.68 per gallon nationally on Wednesday were as high as they’ve been all year and mark the highest prices to

start summer in six years, according to AAA and the Energy Information Administration.

“That is what has caused the increased prices at the pump,” Gail Weinholzer, director of public affairs for AAA Minnesota/Iowa, said of turmoil in Iraq.

“Although, most of the increases have been relatively minimal.”

At the beginning of June, AAA said gas prices had

decreased by an average of 21 cents per gallon over the past three Junes, and speculated that a 10 cent per gallon decrease was possible if refinery production increased as expected.

However, gas prices jumped on average 8- to 10cents a gallon after the fall of Mosul, Iraq on June 10, and the price of crude oil jumped about $5 from $102 per barrel to $107 in that time, according to statistics

from AAA and Bloomberg.

AAA said on June 23 that gas prices had climbed for 12 straight days, although they’ve held steady since then. Crude oil was trading at $106.50 per barrel on Wednesday.

While unrest in Iraq can have ripple effects on prices in the U.S., only a small portion of U.S. oil actually Please see GAS, Page 2

Operation Dry Water underway in Iowa (MCT) — State, federal and local law enforcement agencies will focus this weekend on enforcing Iowa’s boating-while-intoxicated law as part of the national Operation Dry Water campaign.

“We will conduct boating-while-intoxicatedfocused enforcement with increased patrols and check points. We will be administering breath tests and working to inform the public on the hazards involved on the waters across Iowa,” said Susan Stocker, boating law administrator and education coordinator for the Department of Natural Resources.

Stocker said the DNR will have all its full-time officers, as well as some seasonal employees, engaged in the effort.

Partners will include personnel from sheriff’s office, police departments, agencies of neighboring states and the U.S. Coast Guard, she added.

During last year’s Operation Dry Water campaign, the DNR and its partners contacted more than 426 vessels containing 1,613 boaters resulting in 90 citations or warnings.

The 2013 effort was conducted on Coralville Lake, Saylorville Reservoir, Lake Rathbun, Lake Red Rock, Okoboji and the Missouri River.

Last year more than 66 percent of Iowa’s boating fatalities involved alcohol, and the figure was 70 percent in 2012, according to Stocker.

“We are very concerned that our rate is about double the national rate of 34 percent, and we want to educate as many boaters as we can in an effort to bring our rate down,” she said.

Wind, wave action, sun and glare can magnify the intoxicating effects of alcohol, Stocker said.

Being a good highway driver does not necessarily translate into being a safe boater, she said. “Out on the water there are no stop signs, no brakes and no centerline, but there are waves and currents,” she said.

As well as limiting alcohol consumption, boaters should wear a properly fitting life jacket, she said.

State law requires boat operators to carry a properly fitted wearable lifejacket for every person on board. Passengers 12 and younger are required to wear their life jackets whenever the boat is underway.

More than 50 percent of drowning victims were not wearing life jackets, Stocker said.

comes from Iraq.

In 2013, the U.S. got 340,000 barrels of crude oil per day from Iraq, but that only accounted for about 4 percent of all crude oil imports, according to the Energy Information Association.

Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst with GasBuddy.com and founder of Oil Price Information Service, said in many places, after an initial increase, the prices have started to recede.

“Our sense is this was not a game changing event in Iraq, although there is potential for that if fighting descends into Baghdad and southern Iraq where the bulk of oil export come from,” Kloza said.

Kloza said if Iraqi oil were removed from the world oil supply it would

reduced the legal blood-alcohol limit for boaters from 0.10 to 0.08, making that threshold consistent with the legal limit for drivers of highway vehicles.

With the law change, the number of boating-whileintoxicated arrests in Iowa jumped from 55 in 2011 to 95 in 2012. Last year’s total was 56, which is more consistent with historical averages, Stocker said.

A version of the system is widely used already in rehabilitation centers across the United States.

But the ReWalk system cleared by the FDA on Thursday is for use by individuals outside of a rehab setting—in their homes and communities. Its manufacturer said the system will be available immediately, with a price tag of $69,500.

The FDA’s approval specifies that the newly cleared ReWalk system is for use by paraplegics who have spinal cord injuries between the seventh thoracic vertebra and the fifth lumbar vertebra.

When it is used in a rehabilitation setting, the agency said it may be used to assist people with injuries between the fourth and sixth thoracic vertebra.

ReWalk already is in wide commercial use in Europe and in Israel, where it was designed by Amit Goffer and is built by Argo Medical Technologies Inc., the research and development firm Goffer founded in 2001.

Since then, Argo has expanded to open more than 50 ReWalk centers and train more than 400 Re-

Walkers around the world.

In 2012, Briton Claire Lomas became the first person to use the ReWalk to complete a marathon.

And last fall, a ReWalk device arrived at Camp Pendleton in California for Capt. Derek Herrera, a Marine who was shot and paralyzed in 2012 while leading his special operations team on patrol in the Helmand River Valley in Afghanistan.

Herrera, a staff officer who returned to work at 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion, demonstrated the use of the ReWalk system as an aid to training and everyday work.

In addition, two wounded soldiers and a sailor were among the disabled patients whose experiences with ReWalk prompted the FDA’s clearance decision.

“Innovative devices such as ReWalk go a long way

towards helping individuals with spinal cord injuries gain some mobility,” said the FDA’s Christy Foreman, director of the Office of Device Evaluation, on Thursday. “Along with physical therapy, training and assistance from a caregiver, these individuals may be able to use these devices to walk again in their homes and in their communities.”

John Gilroy with Harney Oil Co. in Coralville, said he doesn’t try to speculate on prices due to the many variables.

The actual prices are based on what the futures market anticipates as the value. The futures values are based on factors that speculators deem important and what is happening in the Middle East are having a drastic effect on the futures market, he said.

“If hedge funds on NYMEX are speculating the price of petroleum is going to go up based on fear or other unknown factors, prices do go up and it becomes self fulfilling,” he said.

FDA clears device that lets paraplegics walk again

Kaufmann seeking Iowa GOP chairmanship CEDAR RAPIDS (MCT) — Former Eastern Iowa legislator Jeff Kaufmann is seeking the chairmanship of the Republican Party of Iowa.

Kaufmann, who represented parts of Cedar, Muscatine and Johnson counties from 2004 to 2012, announced his bid this week to replace Danny Carroll, another former lawmaker who has served in an interim capacity following the resignation of Chairman A.J. Spiker earlier this year.

According to a party spokesman, Kauffman is the only candidate for the chairmanship.

In a memo to members of the State Central Committee who will make the decision Saturday, Kaufmann called for a new direction for party leadership that spoke to the criticisms of Spiker.

Fundraising has not been acceptable, he said.

“This must change and will change.”

He also said the State Central Committee should not be a clearinghouse for any one candidate or interest group, an apparent reference to Spiker’s involvement with Ron Paul.

Spiker chaired the Texas congressman’s campaign in Iowa for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.

He left the Iowa GOP to become an adviser to Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s PAC. The party, Kaufmann said, “should be the vehicle where

have a big impact, but he doesn’t expect that to happen. He said a more direct concern is hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico.

Hurricanes don’t tend to have much of a lasting impact on crude production, but they can knock out critical gasoline production at the worst times, he said.

“The thing I’m worried about is what happens in the Gulf of Mexico when hurricane season hits the mid innings,” Kloza said. “That could have a much bigger impact on U.S. oil.”

Kloza said he anticipates gas prices holding fairly steady the rest of the summer with some “drift” a few cents up and down, but not nearing the 2013 peak of $3.83 per gallon.

He said signs point to a “very comfortable supply,” which should mean

A bag for buttons and pills Dear Heloise: I found a great use for the tiny, zippered plastic BAGS that hold an extra button and come with new articles of clothing. If I’m traveling for a few days, all of my pills will fit into one of those bags. — Deborah H., Nevada City, Calif.

Deborah, that’s a great way to recycle those little bags. If taking a road trip, this could work nicely. If flying, though, be cautious. The Transportation Security Administration has this to say regarding prescription medications: “Passengers are allowed to bring medications in pill or other solid form through security screening checkpoints in unlimited amounts, as long as they are screened. TSA does not require passengers to have medications in prescription bottles, but states have individual laws regarding the labeling of prescription medication with which passengers need to comply.”

I would advise checking with the airport about prescription medications before arriving for your flight. It would be a hassle to be delayed or to be unable to bring your medications. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000

Hints from Heloise San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com CONVERTIBLE COVER Dear Heloise: I have had many convertibles. However, the tops now have a different material other than vinyl, which is more like a canvas.

This material seems to attract more lint from the elements, leaving a spotted look. I have found that by using a lint roller on the top, it has picked up everything, and my convertible top looks terrific. — Eileen, via email WASHER WORK SURFACE Dear Heloise: I was frustrated that I could not use the top of my washer and dryer as a continuous, large workspace for folding clothes, etc. Items kept falling down in between them and behind them. Some manufacturers sell a “work surface” that fits over both of them, but it’s expensive. Then I had a brainstorm. I bought an inexpensive, 3-foot-by-5-

And the best part: It’s cheap and can be tailored to everyone’s situation. — Heloise LOSING THE CAP Dear Heloise: I was always losing the cap to my flash drive. It would fall between the cushions or on the floor, or I would forget where I had put it down. Finally, I solved my problem. I hot-glued one end of a long string to the cap and tied the other end to the lanyard I always keep the flash drive on. Now the cap is BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker always there when I need it. — Maritta G., Frederick, Md. RIGHT LENGTH Dear Heloise: Here is a quick-and-easy way to find the proper-length tablecloth. I hang mine on a hanger in the closet. I label each one with a note and a straight pin — “no leaves,” “one leaf,” etc. This saves time when trying to find the correct tablecloth when company is coming to dinner.

Horoscope Saturday, June 28, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day for family discussions, because you feel sympathetic to others and vice versa. However, do not fall for crocodile tears. (If you think something fishy is going on, it probably is.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your imagination is working overtime today, which is good if you work in creative matters or bad if you are suspicious about something. Expect to spend time daydreaming.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) If shopping today, you will be tempted by luxury and extravagance. Wait until you can make a sound decision in the future.

Give things a sober second thought.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your idealism is aroused, which makes you feel sympathetic to everyone today. You might have a Pollyanna point of view about things, which is OK. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You are willing to put the needs and wants of others before your own today. You’re not being a martyr; you genuinely wish for the welfare of others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You find it rewarding to be part of a charitable group that wants to make the world a better place or help someone in need. It feels gratifying.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a good day to ask bosses and VIPs for a favor or permission, because they might be sympathetic and receptive to your request. It never hurts to try.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened today, give yourself a chance to enjoy beautiful places. Visit parks, museums and galleries, and see gorgeous, architectural buildings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Someone might be generous to you today. Or vice versa; you might be generous to someone. Either way, people are mutually sympathetic to each other

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

This is the perfect day to meet with someone to patch up a troubled situation.

It’s easy to anticipate what someone else wants.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) It’s easy to work in tandem with others today, because someone is ready to help you — or vice versa; you are willing to help them. You can envision how you want things to be in the future.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a great day for creative activity of any kind. It’s also a lovely day to enjoy playful times with children.

YOU BORN TODAY You are warmly emotional and appealing to others. People like you, and you love to enter-

tain them. You get a kick out of shock value and a direct approach. You have a good sense of humor and a creative mind. This year, a major change might take place, perhaps as significant as whatever occurred around 2005. It’s time to try out your wings!

Lighten up summer with delicious salads and fun activities (BPT) - The arrival of summer means families are looking for ways to lighten up when it comes to the clothes they’re wearing and the foods they’re eating.

They’re starting to incorporate fresh, light flavors into their meals, especially as local fruits and vegetables become available. And with the warmer weather, it’s much easier to get outside for activities the entire family will enjoy.

If you’re interested in revamping your eating routine and helping your family shape up for the summer, we’ve got some helpful hints: • Flavorful and nutrientrich salad pairings - Summer is the time for salads, which can be loaded up with fresh, locally grown ingredients. The leafy base you choose for your salad can also give your family plenty of power-packed nutrients.

For example: Romaine lettuce - contains vitamins A, K and C Field greens - rich in iron and magnesium

Spinach - contains calcium, fiber and beta-carotene Pair all three greens together for a powerful, nutritious punch. Top off the salad with the right pairing of flavors. For example, tomato salads work beautifully with Marzetti Simply Dressed Balsamic or Light Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing, while Southwesternstyle salads are delicious with the addition of corn and lime juice or black beans and avocados.

• Turn ordinary into extraordinary - Grilled veggies and crunchy textures turn routine salads into something you can’t wait to dig into. Grill carrots, zucchini and tomatoes with lean meats for a sweetened and smoky flavor. For those family members who don’t crave vegetables, go for the crisp taste and dress your salad with crunchy nuts and sweet fruits using Marzetti Fruit and Nut Salad Accents or add some Marzetti Simply Dressed Ranch dressing to make the veggies more appealing. In fact, more

than one in four Americans say they’ll eat vegetables if they can’t tell they’re eating them, according to a survey.

• Power up with a partner - Get active this spring with a friend or with the entire family. Sign up for something new like a box-

ing class or dance class you can enjoy together. Having a partner or group turns the activity into a social event, and it also helps to keep you accountable. A benefit to staying active? A report by the Huffington Post says people doing physical activ-

ities with a spouse, friends or coworker enjoyed the activity more, and were happier.

• Keep it simple for a big impact - Instead of setting a huge goal that may seem daunting and unattainable, set mini, achievable goals

for yourself. Make simple changes you can incorporate daily to help improve your health. Some ways to do this include: Ditch the elevators - Take the stairs at work, the shopping mall or the hotel.

Pick up cycling - Bike to work, or take a ride after work.

Get outside - Over the lunch hour, take a walk around the neighborhood.

Adding three 10-minute periods of physical activity in your daily schedule are just as beneficial as participating in one 30-minute period of exercise, according to Heart.org. Plus, if you can do your exercise outside in the sun, you’ll be able to absorb some vitamin D, which is also good for your body.

After the long winter, creating delicious salad pairings packed with flavor and enjoying quality time outside with your family and friends are perfect ways to lighten up this summer.

Check out Marzetti.com for more delicious salad ideas.

Rocky and Bullwinkle’s tick alert The National Wildlife Federation says there’s a population explosion of ticks in New Hampshire, where some moose are infested with more than 100,000 of them! And researchers in St. Louis found that a quarter of squirrels carried ticks that transmit Lyme disease. Are Rocky and Bullwinkle putting you at increased risk for tickborne illnesses? That depends on where you are.

Black-legged or deer ticks can transmit babesiosis (most cases are in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Wisconsin) and Lyme disease (96 percent of the 30,000 annual cases are in the Northeast and upper Midwest). The dog tick transmits Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever; 60 percent of around 2,000 reported cases annually happen in North Carolina, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee and Missouri. The Lone Star tick is in the news: An Oklahoma man died of the Heartland virus after being bitten; less-serious cases have been reported in Tennessee and Missouri.

If you develop a rash, fever, headache, joint or muscle pain, or swollen lymph nodes within 30 days of any tick bite, go to your doctor (sooner is better) to KO the disease. But to avoid being bitten: 1. Use DEET-based insect repellant (adult-strength 30 percent; kids 10 percent or less).

2. Wear light-colored clothing with long sleeves, and tuck pants into socks when in grassy/wooded areas.

3. Examine clothes, legs

Weekly healthy tips Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. and Dr. Michael Roizen, M.D.

and arms for ticks before entering the house. Then head to the shower; check your whole body. See something?

Use a tick-removal kit.

4. Check pets’ fur thoroughly when they re-enter the house, too!

SEND FAT PACKING! Fats Domino, Fatty Arbuckle, Minnesota Fats — it used to be easy to name the remarkably overweight.

But now, according to the Global Burden of Disease Study, there are 2.1 billion overweight and obese people in the world! And guess who leads the way, with 13 percent of those folks (that’s 273 MILLION)? The U.S., with only 5 percent of the world’s population. But hey, neighbors, don’t smirk: Canada, 25 percent of your adults are obese; Mexico, 70 percent of yours are overweight. So, this is a North American call to arms — and legs and feet! Time to ...

Walk this Way! Burn an extra 250 calories daily by walking 3-3.5 miles per hour for 60 minutes. You’ll lose about half a pound a week!

How? Make your feet the go-to choice for getting around. In addition to a walking routine, start taking the stairs, not the elevator.

Try running errands without the car (what a concept!).

Decrease exposure to fatmagnet foods and chemicals. They make it easier to gain weight and harder to lose weight.

How? Eliminate processed foods; say “au revoir” to red meat. Say “hasta la

vista” to hormone-disrupting chemicals in plastics (with recycle codes 3, 6, 7), cash-register receipts, antibacterial (triclosan) cleaning products, fire retardants and pesticides.

Advocate for healthy programs. One voice can change the world!

How? Encourage schools to provide daily recess.

Lobby all levels of government for recreation areas and bike/pedestrian lanes for adults and kids. And lobby yourself for change!

Today is a great time to buy a pedometer and start your “Walk 10K-a-day, No Excuses” routine.

NASAL “T” FOR GALS? “I’ll have what she’s having,” is the most memorable line from “When Harry Met Sally.” Wouldn’t it be great if you could order passion off a restaurant menu like Rob Reiner’s mom hoped to do?

Well, guys can order from a menu of Food and Drug Administration-approved erectile dysfunction meds and testosterone products.

But so far there aren’t any meds approved for women who have delayed, absent or reduced intensity of orgasm. That’s why the latest announcement of positive results from a Phase II trial of nasal testosterone gel for gals made headlines. (It’s used whenever a woman anticipates having sex — just like men’s ED drugs.)

Unfortunately, on closer inspection the nasal T-gel

for women seems only marginally helpful: During the 84-day trial, non-orgasmic women using it reported an average of 2.3 orgasms (over 14 sexual encounters), compared to 1.7 for the placebo group! Plus: Long-term use of similar products by men can trigger serious side effects like heart attacks.

A women’s orgasm dysfunction (OD) may be caused by restricted blood flow, a thyroid condition or urinary incontinence. Medications such as antidepressants also can inhibit sexual response, as can hormone shifts from breast-feeding and menopause. Emotional roadblocks include depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts and past sexual trauma.

If you have OD, talk with your doctor. You may need to change or start medications, use topical hormones to ease vaginal dryness or get therapy to allow safe expression of sexual feelings.

Your menu for success also should include increased physical activity, eliminating the Five Food Felons and daily meditation.

HARD TO SWALLOW Tall tales may be hard to swallow, but they’re a lot easier than the five-at-once swords daredevil Dan Meyer eased down his esophagus in 2005 (they punctured his stomach) or the 30-inch sword he swallowed two years later — while submerged in a tank with 88 sharks and stingrays! But, believe it or not, for many people, swallowing medication is even more challenging.

Young or old, your inability to get a pill down the hatch may happen because you have a strong gag reflex;

are dealing with a nerve disorder such as Parkinson’s or stroke-related nerve damage; suffer from a food allergy, dementia, head or neck cancer; have esophageal problems (dysphagia); or severe gastrointestinal reflux disorder (GERD).

Or maybe anxiety is making swallowing difficult.

While we don’t recommend Mary Poppins’ solution (a spoonful of sugar) there are, fortunately, effective remedies.

If a disease is making it difficult to swallow your meds, you need the help of specialists. More simple solutions may include: changing the angle of your body, neck or head when you swallow; altering the size or texture of what you are trying to swallow; and practicing mindfulness to ease anxiety and relax your reflexes. To suppress your gag reflex, you can try taking a deep breath before putting the tablet in your mouth.

But never break, crush or chew any medication without your doc’s OK. With an OK, putting the meds into a smoothie or getting them in a yummy gummy formulation may help.

TIP-TOP TROPICAL SUMMER SMOOTHIE When Chris Kattan’s “Saturday Night Live” character Mango asked, “Can you say to a rainbow, ‘Hey, stop being a rainbow for a second’?

No! Such is Mango!” he was being an ol’ smoothie, touting his magnificence — and rightly so. Mangoes are a super fruit, containing more than 20 vitamins and minerals: One 7-ounce mango contains 96 percent of your daily dose of vitamin C, 32 percent of vitamin A, and 4 g of fiber. And the nutrients

in mangoes can help boost your bone health and digestion, lower the risk for colon cancer and help prevent macular degeneration.

But for a real super summer smoothie, try introducing mangoes to mint and papaya!

—Peel (wash first) and dice two mangoes.

—Grab some fresh mint— for its anti-inflammatory powers and wonderful flavor. It contains rosmarinic acid, which helps relieve seasonal allergies. Chop the mint leaves finely so you have at least 2 tablespoons.

—Next, peel and remove seeds from one papaya (wash this first, too); cut the flesh into chunks. This creamy fruit delivers lycopene and folate as well as vitamins A and C. Papaya also contains an enzyme called papain that helps digest proteins, and lowers your chance of feeling tired after a meal.

—Put the ingredients in a blender. You can add 1/2 to 1 cup nonfat, no-sugaradded Greek yogurt (optional); 2 cups ice cubes; 1-2 cups fresh orange juice with pulp. Combine until desired consistency; you’ll get 2-3 servings.

Now go take that 60-minute walk around your neighborhood. You’re all fueled up.

Drought continues decline in Iowa (MCT) — Drought remains in full retreat as a wet June has soaked Iowa.

Less than 3 percent of Iowa remains in moderate drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. The percentage of the state considered abnormally dry has fallen below 20 percent. Most of that is in southeastern Iowa, with only small pockets in west-central Iowa and southwest Iowa still in need of moisture.

Most of Wapello County dropped out of drought a couple weeks ago. Only the northeastern third of the county is considered dry.

Monroe, Appanoose and Davis counties are completely

free of drought, according to the report released Thursday.

Only a small sliver of Keokuk County has any drought remaining within the Courier’s coverage area.

Keokuk and Jefferson counties are the only ones completely within any of the monitor’s areas of concern.

Wet weather is likely to continue for the next several days, with the National Weather Service predicting at least a chance of storms through the weekend.

Pumptown is one of the most unique family bands you will ever hear, consisting of two sisters, a brother and dad, with a “Drum Infused Country Sound.” Pumptown is a great fit for the celebration, as the Clearfield Lions Club aims at providing a fun, family-friendly Fourth.

Buena Vista University announces new degree Buena Vista University Graduate & Professional Studies is launching a Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) degree with a major in applied management.

This degree is available at the GPS Creston site at Southwestern Community College.

The degree is under the College of Applied Studies and is a completion program designed for those holding an Associate of Applied Science degree (AAS).

BVU’s partnership with community colleges across Iowa provides a smooth transfer of up to 68 AAS degree credits into this new program, allowing students another local bachelor’s degree option.

“This degree will open new doors for both current students and past graduates

of vocational programs in our area. BVU’s Creston location offers many opportunities for students, and BASc is the perfect addition as it will help students complete their degree as quickly as possible,” said Stacy Gibbs, academic and program development manager for Creston.

The applied management major includes a range of coursework aiming to prepare students for advancement in industries such as industrial technology, information technology systems, agribusiness, management information systems and business administration.

“We are very excited about this program, because it prepares individuals for progression into leadership position,” said Dr. Jill Rhea, dean of GPS. “Many workers with AAS degrees

2014 CHEVY

are disadvantaged in the promotion process because they lack a bachelor’s degree. The goal of this major is to offer these people a more efficient route to an advanced degree.”

The GPS applied management major addresses findings from Iowa Work Force Development in its Iowa Career, Industry, & Population Report that shows management of companies and enterprises as one of the largest growth categories, projected to grow 49.4 percent by 2020.

It is designed to meet requests from area industries and community college partners’ needs, as well as target the lack of accessible educational opportunities for job progression.

The major will be available beginning Aug. 25, 2014.

Chalk the Town is a community project — hosted

by Creston:Arts and sponsored by Creston Chamber of Commerce — where volunteers work together to chalk murals on the sidewalks of local business sponsors and community sidewalks.

In 2013 Creston:Arts hosted the first Chalk the Town where the event was limited to local business sponsored murals.

Creston:Arts member Bailey Fry-Schnormeier who helped develop Chalk the Town in Creston said, “It’s fun to see the excitement from the community members as they enjoyed each of the murals. It was also great to see so many people coming together to support the arts.”

In 2014 the event is back with an expansion that is even bigger and better.

Chalk the Town is showcasing more than a dozen sponsored murals, a community mosaic mural, and a professional muralist.

This year, Iowa State Savings Bank has sponsored professional muralist Brian Mullin of White Horsy Studios to create a Victorian-era chalkrendered mural featuring a historic, 1900s scene of Creston. This large mural will be located on the sidewalk west of ISSB, 401 W.

THUNDERSTRUCK Delays cause teams to play only one game

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com Marble

NATIONAL DIGEST

U.S. advances RECIFE, Brazil — The United States lost 1-0 to Germany Thursday afternoon at the 2014 World Cup, but still advanced to the round of 16.

The U.S., which finished second, went through after Portugal defeated Ghana 2-1 in the group’s other match.

Portugal got a goal from their superstar Christiano Rinaldo that gave them a 2-1 lead over Ghana.

“This is a huge huge step and now we can’t wait until round of 16,” U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said after the match. “Everyone said we had no chance, we took the chance and move on. And now we really want to prove a point.” On Tuesday the United States will play Belgium, who beat South Korea 1-nil on Thursday.

Top picks NEW YORK — The Cleveland Cavaliers selected shooting guard Andrew Wiggins out of Kansas with the first pick of the 2014 NBA Draft on Thursday night.

Wiggins averaged 17.1 points per game and 5.9 rebounds and was the Big 12 Freshman of the Year.

The Milwaukee Bucks selected Jabari Parker with the second overall pick.

The Philadelphia 76ers took a chance with their third overall pick on former Kansas center Joel Embiid, who suffered a foot injury prior to the draft and watched from home as his name was called by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.

The Orlando Magic selected Aaron Gordon out of Arizona with the fourth overall pick and the Utah Jazz went Down Under and selected Dante Exum out of Australia.

Traded to Bulls BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Creighton forward and Ames native Doug McDermott is heading to the Chicago Bulls.

The Creighton star was selected 11th overall by the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Draft, but shortly after being selected Denver traded McDermott to Chicago for two first-round selections later Thursday.

Creston head coach Mike McCabe called it the longest softball game with which he’s ever been involved.

Creston and Council Bluffs St. Albert started their Hawkeye 10 Conference game at 5:40 p.m. here Thursday.

After multiple delays for thunder, the game did not end until approximately 9:38 p.m., with Creston winning 8-1 in just five innings. In total, two delays lasted approximately 2 hours, 40 minutes.

The second game of the varsity doubleheader never happened, and will have to be made up at a later date.

“I’m glad we got that one to be a complete game,” McCabe said. “The way the night was going, I didn’t think it was going to have a good ending. It had a bad feel with everything going on.”

The game made it just three outs before the first weather delay, which was for lightning. During that delay, officials added 30 minutes onto the delay for each crack of thunder.

After resuming play, the Panthers put up one run in the bottom of the first inning as back-to-back sin-

gles to lead off the inning led to Josie Sickels scoring as Jami Sickels drew a bases-loaded walk.

Creston left the bases loaded to end the inning, however.

St. Albert pitcher Bailey Clark led off the second inning with a solo home run to left field — the only blemish on Creston pitcher Haylee LaMaster’s line for

the night.

LaMasters gave up just the one hit and issued no walks while striking out six batters.

“I thought Haylee might have had as good of control as she’s had in those five innings she pitched,” McCabe said. “The girl just went down and hit a ball that went out, but I was really happy with her

really worried about that,” McCabe said. “When you have all those delays, what do you do with the kids?

We go out the one time and did some hitting. You do this or do that to occupy some time. It was a strange thing to be a part Please see THUNDERSTRUCK, page 4S

Lightning postpones nightcap with Falcons

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

To be continued.

That’s the story of Class 2A sixth-ranked Council Bluffs St. Albert’s visit to Panther Field for a varsity baseball doubleheader Thursday.

With two lightning delays at 6:15 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. interrupting play, the Falcons finally finished a 6-3 victory in game one on Little League Recognition Night.

The umpiring crew, which included Creston High School graduate Brian Scrimager of Clive, met with both coaches when lightning was spotted again in the western skies during game two. With a thunderstorm front approaching, play was suspended for the

night with St. Albert leading 2-1 in the top of the fifth inning.

When the game resumes, it will not be played in Creston. The final three innings will be played prior to another St. Albert road conference game.

“We’re looking at July 7th, when they play JVvarsity at Red Oak,” Creston coach Steve Birchard said. “They really fill their schedule up. We didn’t have many options.”

St. Albert, now 13-4 overall, was coming off a 12-2 victory over Class 3A top-ranked Sioux City Bishop Heelan Catholic Wednesday night. The Falcons are tied with Denison-Schleswig for second in the Hawkeye 10 at 9-3, a half-game behind league leader Harlan.

Creston, now 8-9 overall

and seventh in the league at 7-7, was competing for a split when play was halted.

Cole Crawford had pitched four strong innings, allowing two runs on six hits with two strikeouts and one walk.

That followed a solid finish by freshman Chase Shiltz in taking the game one loss. Shiltz gave up seven hits in the first four innings, but then retired 10 of the last 12 batters he faced.

“We don’t want to take solace in the fact that we lost a close one and we’re in a tight one now,” Birchard said. “You want to still win. But the point is that Heelan is probably a pretty solid No. 1 choice (in 3A), and this team just 10-runned them. We see what they are, and what we are, so you have to believe CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON

Marble drafted BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The Denver Nuggets selected Roy Devyn Marble with the 56th pick of the second round. The Nuggets immediately traded Marble to the Orlando Magic.

Earlier in the draft, the Magic selected big man Aaron Gordon (Arizona) and Croatian big man Dario Saric. They then traded Saric to the Sixers for PG Elfrid Payton (Louisiana-Lafayette).

In addition to Payton, Marble joins a back court in Orlando that currently includes Doron Lamb, E’Twaun Moore, Jameer Nelson, Victor Oladipo, and Ronnie Price.

LaMasters got the next two batters out, but again, the game was delayed because of thunder.

St. Albert won the game, 6-3, and was leading the second game 2-1 when play was suspended in the fifth inning because of lightning.

that we could be there with consistent effort.”

The difference between the two teams on this night, Birchard said, was more consistent good swings by the Falcons, particularly with two strikes, while the Panthers were lacking timely hits with runners in scoring position.

“We had some poor swings on 0-0 counts,” Birchard said. “We’re hitting a lot of easy outs right now. They did a really good job of hitting where it was pitched. And they were good up the middle with their infield.”

St. Albert erased several Creston scoring chances with four double plays on the night.

Leadoff batter Conner

Pals had a 2-of-2 game going in the nightcap for the Panthers, after rapping a pair of hits and reaching base three times in the opener. Garret Taylor also had two hits in game one and Trevor Luther had a run-scoring double as the Panthers took a 2-1 lead in the first inning.

Freshman Cody Crawford played left field in the second game with Taylor sliding over to center, as Crawford pitched. Normally, senior Trey Benson would split outfield duty with Taylor, but Birchard said Benson is awaiting a July 2 MRI on a possible stress fracture in his foot.

Area baseball Lenox 7, SW Valley 1 LENOX — Lenox improved to 15-4 for the season with a 7-1 win over Southwest Valley here on Thursday.

Caleb Lange struck out nine batters and gave up just two hits with three walks in the win for the Tigers.

Lange also went 2-for-4 at the plate with a double and two runs batted in.

Spencer Brown was 2-3 with a double Lange and one RBI. Dustin Gordon, Kaleb Anderson and Dusten Reed each singled in a run.

Keegan Longabaugh took the loss for the Timberwolves, giving up six earned runs on eight hits with three strikeouts.

Longabaugh scored the only run of the game for Southwest Valley, as Nick Frederick drove him in. Ryan Longabaugh Carlson and Drey Barton each singled.

“We really didn’t do a whole lot against their pitcher the first time through the order,” Southwest Valley head coach Pete Nett said, as his team had seven strikeouts in the first three innings. “After that, we adjusted and got some good swings, and put a lot more balls in play. Keegan did a nice job throwing strikes for us.”

World Cup’s brave new world

By KEVIN BAXTER and DAVID WHARTON Los Angeles Times

RECIFE, Brazil — The game wasn’t pretty, but in this World Cup tipped upside down, it makes sense that a loss equaled a win for a U.S. team that now advances to the knockout stage.

By staying close to Germany in a rain-soaked 1-0 defeat, the Americans sneaked through pool play by way of a goal-differential tiebreaker.

“It doesn’t matter how you get things done,” U.S. defender Omar Gonzalez said. “As long as you get them done.”

Few predicted the U.S. would finish second to Germany — ahead of Portugal and Ghana — in the tournament’s toughest group. But the unexpected has become routine in Brazil, especially for teams from North and Central America.

An unprecedented three countries from the region, usually overlooked when the world gathers every four years to play soccer, have now reached the round of 16. Mexico and Costa Rica qualified previously.

At the same time, Portugal isn’t the only traditional European power to wilt in the heat and humidity.

England, Italy and defending champion Spain have all gone home.

The past two weeks have also brought wild finishes, controversial calls and flash floods.

“Incredibly entertaining,” said Bruce Arena, the former national coach who is now with the Los Angeles Galaxy. “A lot of goals have been scored. This has been one of the best World Cups in the last 12 years.”

High-octane offenses and upset victories haven’t been the only topic of con-

versation as off-the-field issues took precedence in the hours before the U.S.Germany game.

Thursday began with torrential rains that flooded the streets around the stadium in Recife. Then came word that officials had suspended Luis Suarez, the talented striker from Uruguay, for nine international games, effectively ending his World Cup. The 27-year-old Suarez became an instant figure of controversy on social media worldw i d e when he Suarez bit an Italian defender on the shoulder during Tuesday’s game. In addition to his international ban, he must pay a $112,000 fine and is suspended from all soccer-related activity for four months. It will keep him on the sidelines when his club team, Liverpool, opens the English Premier League season in August.

“Such behavior cannot be tolerated on any football pitch and in particular not at a FIFA World Cup, when the eyes of millions of people are on the stars on the field,” said Claudio Sulser, chairman of the disciplinary committee for FIFA, the sport’s governing body.

Back on the field, the deciding games in Group G began amid a growing realization that geography has played a major role in the tournament’s volatility.

While South American teams are performing well — Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay have won nine of the 19 World Cups — many other squads simply weren’t built for humidity and temperatures in the 80s.

“It’s very, very difficult to win a World Cup for a European team in South America,” said Juergen Klinsmann, who spent most of his life playing for and coaching Germany before taking over the U.S. program three years ago.

The conditions don’t feel quite so foreign to members of CONCACAF — the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football — an awkwardly titled region that stretches from Canada south to Panama.

Not only are CONCACAF teams accustomed to warm weather, they often play on less-than-perfect fields and — because of the region’s scope — are used to traveling longer distances than teams from other parts of the world.

In Brazil, the games have been staged at farflung locales ranging from metropolitan stadiums to fields built in the jungle.

With preparations marred by work stoppages and civil unrest, some venues weren’t completed until the last minute.

Galaxy coach Arena sees another reason for CONCACAF teams’ victories: “We’re getting better.”

A talented Mexico gained early momentum from its 0-0 tie with heavily favored Brazil. Costa Rica has proven to be a dangerous team on the attack.

The U.S., meanwhile, has built its squad on defense and a goalkeeper — Tim Howard — considered among the best in the world.

His saves gave the Americans a chance to scramble for a 2-1 victory against Ghana in the opener. He also came up big against Portugal.

In a sign of just how crazy this tournament has been, that 2-2 result felt like a loss as Portugal tied the game with seconds re-

You’ve got to win the game.”

— Juergen Klinsmann

U.S. soccer coach

Sweet Vidalia maining. On Thursday, a defeat from Germany brought smiles.

“It’s not unique just to soccer,” said Sunil Gulati, president of the U.S. Soccer Federation. “Any time you have pool play, this kind of situation is possible.... We lost the last game, but we’re advancing.”

As Klinsmann put it: “I’m glad it’s over.”

The U.S. coach was happy to be done with pool play, w h i c h forced him to prepare his team for three Klinsmann different opponents in a short span.

He did not particularly like that his team’s survival relied at least partially on the results of other games.

Now the Americans can push all that aside and focus on playing Belgium on Tuesday.

“There is a very clear picture in front of you,” Klinsmann said. “You’ve got to win the game.”

For the first time, this chaotic World Cup seems simple.

of. I’ve never seen anything like that.”

When play finally resumed, LaMasters recorded a strikeout to end the inning. Creston got one baserunner in the bottom of the second and then put the Saintes down in order in the top of the third.

That’s when the Panthers exploded in the bottom of the third inning, scoring seven runs on four hits and one error.

LaMasters started things with a double to right field. Jami Sickels, Brenna Baker, Josie Sickels, LaMasters and Mostek all had run-scoring hits in the inning. Baker’s hit brought two runners

around to score.

“Kids came back after that delay and put up seven runs in that third inning there,” McCabe said.

“I thought if we could get two or three up on the board and take a two or three run lead, I thought we’d be OK. That was a big hit by Brenna.”

Clark had been pitching well until the Panthers got to her in the third inning.

“She struggled a little bit after we hit her hard,” McCabe said. “She had some trouble with finding the strike zone. Then she got really mad after Jami made that shoestring catch on her ball.”

Jami Sickels ended the fourth inning with the defensive play of the night,
