CITY COUNCIL

New member appointed to Creston City Council

‘Riding in the Ayr’ ■ Mount Ayr’s

annual Ayr Days, featuring a barbecue contest, live music, games and kids’ activities, is scheduled Friday and Saturday.

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA associate editor khaugen@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR – The annual Ayr Days will return Friday and Saturday with the signature Smokin’ in the Ayr barbecue contest, parade on the town square

and one new event: a shuffleboard tournament.

This year’s Ayr Days theme is related to RAGBRAI – “Riding in the Ayr” – as cyclists will ride from Diagonal to Mount Ayr and then on to Kellerton Tuesday.

“It’s a way the businesses and chamber can thank their customers for supporting the businesses, and it’s a way to celebrate our town and thank people for coming to Mount Ayr or being in Mount Ayr,” said Karen Bender, Mount Ayr Chamber of Commerce secretary and treasurer.

Ayr Days will kick off at 5 p.m. Friday on the main

stage with live music by Ringgold Outdoor Alliance and Solar Toast Band, followed by all-you-can-eat Hy-Vee Chicken Wings for Charities and more music by Hudson Drive Band from Kansas City, Missouri.

The shuffleboard tournament will take place 5:30 p.m. Friday at Mabel Rice Park. Those participating do not need to register for the tournament.

On Saturday morning, kids’ activities including pony rides, train rides, balloon twisting and inflatable bounce-houses will be available.

Creston Mayor Gary Lybarger, right, finalizes the swearing in of new Creston City Councilperson Ron Higgins with a handshake Tuesday evening in the Creston City Council chambers. Higgins is now the ward 1 councilperson for a term expiring December 31, 2017.

CNA staff reporter jlamb@crestonnews.com

A new member was added to the Creston City Council during a regular meeting Tuesday with the appointment of Ron Higgins as ward 1 councilperson with a term expiring December 31, 2017.

Higgins, 45, who has lived in Creston his entire life, “thought it would be cool to be more involved with what happens in town.”

Higgins lives with his wife, Erin, and their 2-year-old daughter, Lydia. He also has a 12-year-old daughter, Morgan, from a previous marriage.

In the past, Higgins was an employee of U.S. Cellu-

lar for 11 years before moving to his current position as salesman at Stalker Chevrolet on Highway 25 in Creston. Higgins said his public contact experience from his professional history will be beneficial to his term as ward 1 councilperson.

“I’m totally comfortable talking to people and interacting with the public,” Higgins said. “I’m not afraid to voice my opinion. If someone from my ward, or anywhere in town, has something they want us to know about and feels comfortable talking to me, they sure can.”

Higgins said he has always found city council interesting and the timing was right to join.

“It’s nice to know what’s

going on in the city,” Higgins said after participating in his inaugural meeting. “The meeting was more organized than I anticipated. I didn’t know exactly what I was going into but ended up feeling totally comfortable.”

Though Higgins has no formal experience in the workings of local government, he is eager to contribute to the council.

“I don’t really have any expectations other than trying to help the council out any way I can and do whatever they need me to do,” Higgins said. “You can’t really complain about things going on in town if you don’t volunteer to do something CITY | 2A

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Thunderstorms that spawned at least one suspected tornado have flooded streets and low-lying fields in much of central Iowa.

Rainfall of up to 5 inches was reported in several spots Tuesday.

Lightning strikes touched off a small fire at a Des Moines apartment building and set off fire alarms

at another. Trees were toppled and tree limbs were downed in several communities. A wind gust of 63 mph was recorded four miles north-northeast of Anita.

The National Weather Service says a law enforcement officer reported seeing the tornado three miles west of Albia a little after 3 p.m., but the sighting hasn’t WEATHER | 2A

drawing on the sidewalk or holding a mother’s hand.

Police records through the end of June showed 15 children younger than 10 years old had been shot, which is seven more young shooting victims than the same span last year.

Four more young children have been shot since the start of July, including a 6-year-old girl who was sitting on a porch Tuesday with her mother and grandmother when a bullet fired a block away struck her in the torso, critically injuring her. Police said someone in a caravan of cars was firing at a group of men on the street. On Wednesday, a spokesman for the University of Chicago’s Comer Children’s Hospital said the girl’s condition had been upgraded to serious.

The shootings, mostly in neighborhoods on the South and West sides, underline what the residents already knew: It’s a dangerous time for the city’s children as well.

But since the recent shootings of young victims haven’t been deadly, they have received little attention outside Chicago. The children haven’t become national symbols of the

city’s violence like 9-yearold Tyshawn Lee, who was lured into an alley last November with the promise of a juice box and shot to death, allegedly by gang members out to punish his father.

Other children besides Kavan have been struck by gunfire while doing nothing other than being kids, leaving their families to wonder if there’s anything they can do to protect them. The victims include: • Six-year-old Jaylene Bermeo was drawing with sidewalk chalk on the evening of June 6 in the Logan Square neighborhood on the city’s northwest side when she was shot in the back, the bullet puncturing her lung and lodging near her heart.

Police say a 17-year-old boy accidentally shot the girl when he opened fire on rival gang members as he drove down the block.

• Three-year-old Devon Quinn was with his dad on Father’s Day in a car in the Woodlawn neighborhood on the South Side when someone pulled up and fired at least 10 shots at the vehicle. Prosecutors say the gunman was a gang member who opened fire in a rival gang’s territory to pay trib-

ute to a dead member of his own gang. At a court hearing, prosecutors said the boy was left paralyzed from the chest down and that he will never be able to move his limbs or even breathe on his own.

• Five-year-old Taniyah Williams and her 8-year-old cousin, Corey Bondurant, were playing with sparklers on the evening of July 4 in the West Englewood neighborhood on the South Side when someone sprayed the area with bullets. Taniyah was struck in the leg, as were a 19-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man. After the commotion, relatives discovered that 8-year-old Corey was also shot in the leg.

Since her son Kavan was wounded, Brashear struggles with how to talk to him about the shooting, even as she continues taking him to doctor appointments and trying to determine what can be done about his facial scars.

“I don’t know how to explain it to him,” she said of the boy who has been afraid to fall asleep since the incident and experienced nightmares when he does. “How do you tell a kid, ‘Oh, you got shot.’”

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago mother thought she knew when it was safe to take her children outside, that she could protect them by sizing up and avoiding the people whom trouble seemed to follow.

Then a bullet fired from a gun that D’Antignay Brashear never saw pierced the cheek of her 4-yearold son, Kavan Collins. It fractured the boy’s jaw and shattered some teeth before it went out his other cheek, all while he held his mother’s hand.

“He was with his mother, and it wasn’t like I was doing something wrong, having him out after hours,” said Brashear, a 21-year-old single mother of two, referring to the shooting that happened before sundown June 28 on Chicago’s South Side.

“I thought he was safe.”

Kavan is part of a growing roster of children who have been shot in the city this year amid a spike in killings and shootings. More than 330 killings have occurred in the city.

So far, no child has died from the gunfire that’s often connected to gangs. Children have been struck while doing normal kid things like playing with sparklers,

Since 1880, the Iowa Pharmacy Association is organized to preserve and advance the interests of the profession and to serve the professional needs of all pharmacists, student pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.

Lessons from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Republican Convention in Cleveland is feeding thousands of visitors to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame across the street this week. The music teaches us so much. The fact that there’s a Highway to Hell and only a Stairway to Heaven says a whole lot about the anticipated traffic numbers.

Donald Trump’s wife Melania gave a speech on the first night of the convention. They were going after a huge voting demographic. Baby Boomer men no longer care about world peace, domestic tranquility and racial equality, they just want to look at Trump’s wife for the next four years.

Donald Trump did an interview on CBS 60 Minutes Sunday with Mike Pence in which Donald stood by his promise to build a wall on the Mexican border. It’s a calculated gamble. The bet is, that Hispanic voters are

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

so Americanized they’ll vote for Trump to keep their in-laws out of the country.

The Trump-Pence campaign was one day old when it had to get rid of its logo because it was sexually suggestive. What a fiasco. The interlocking T and P made it look like the T was entering the P and thus the logo could be banned from wedding cakes in 15 Southern states and Indiana.

GOP convention officials halted a rebellion Monday by the Never Trump forces who were attempting to allow delegates to vote their consciences. That can’t be allowed to happen. If Republicans were allowed to vote their consciences they would dispose of the presidency and crown Arnold Palmer king.

Hillary Clinton’s health came under question Friday over the skull fracture she suffered three years ago when she fainted while standing in Bill’s office and hit her Clinton head on his desk on the way down. This defies the laws of physics. Every other woman hit her head on his desk on the way up.

San Diego County Sheriffs reports that two men in their early 20s were injured Saturday while playing Pokemon Go when they fell 90 feet down a steep mountainside in Encinitas. Millennials are walking off cliffs while playing Pokemon. Maybe the app isn’t such a bad idea after all.

Turkey president Tayyip Erdogan rounded up the 6,000 soldiers who tried to overthrow him in a coup in Turkey Sunday.

He stripped them, tied them up, threw them into a giant pit and released photos of them tied naked together. Donald Trump blamed Hillary for ruining Thanksgiving.

Turkey’s president Tayyip Erdogan put down a military coup Sunday that set off alarm bells in NATO and the Mideast. It’s already a U.S. campaign issue.

Trump said if president he would deport all turkeys while Hillary Clinton urged all Americans to resist the siren call of turkey-phobia.

The House of Representatives failed to reach any compromise legislative agreements last week and Speaker Paul Ryan sent everybody home. Maybe a break will help. Congress left Washington D.C. Friday to go for a seven-week vacation, prompting even the Kardashians to ask, vacation from what?

A Baltimore judge ruled the fourth cop not guilty in Freddie Gray’s death during his ride back

to the station in the van after his arrest last November. It sparked riots, burnings and looting of fast-food restaurants. Everyone agrees McDonald’s picked the wrong month to bring back the McRib. The Methodist Church followed in the footsteps of its mother church the Episcopal Church by electing its first openly gay bishop at their convocation in Scottsdale. The vote reflected a church schism on the issue.

Church conservatives can’t abide a theology that hates the sin but loves the shoes.

The Southern Baptist Convention reported a decline in church membership for the ninth year in a row, citing the prime cause as lower fertility rates. Its church traditions are deeply rooted in social fellowship. Where two or more Southern Baptists are gathered in His name, a chicken must die.

In the past two weeks, the “war on police” has gone from a metaphor to a reality, with eight officers killed in targeted attacks in Dallas and Baton Rouge.

The country hasn’t seen anything like it since the early 1970s, when a lunatic fringe of the left undertook a violent campaign against law enforcement.

Today’s spate of anti-police violence isn’t remotely as organizationally or ideologically coherent, but it is more lethal. The Black Liberation Army, a homicidal splinter group of the Black Panthers, never killed more than two cops in one operation, and its body count over the course of about two years was only slightly higher than what we’ve seen just this month.

Vanity Fair writer Bryan Burrough recounts the history in his exceptional book “Days of Rage.”

He dismisses as a myth the popular idea that the left’s violent underground was motivated primarily by opposition to the Vietnam War. “Every single underground group of the 1970s,” Burrough writes (excepting the Puerto Rican FALN), “was concerned first and foremost with the struggle of blacks against police brutality, racism, and government repression.”

Black militancy had the most allure, or as a radical lawyer told Burrough, “Everything started with the Black Panthers. The whole thrill of being with them.”

Stokely Carmichael of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee gave black militancy a

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

jump-start with his famous speech in Mississippi in 1966 declaring, “The only way we gonna stop them white men from whuppin’ us is to take over. We been saying freedom for six years and we ain’t got nothin’. What we gonna start sayin’ now is Black Power!”

Carmichael’s activities in Mississippi spawned various Black Panther groups, the most important in Oakland, California, led by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. They became a sensation with their gun-toting antics and bristling confrontations with police, although they would be outflanked by their “information minister,” Eldridge Cleaver, a convicted rapist, who called for “A black liberation army! An army of angry niggas!”

Killing cops quickly moved from a rhetorical pose — the Black Panther newspaper gave us the phrase “Off the Pig” — to an actual imperative. The Weather Underground targeted police in a series of — thankfully — relatively ineffectual bombings. It was the Black Liberation Army, an underground force spawned in the poisonous split between Newton and Cleaver, that took up the mission with a deadly seriousness.

From 1971 to 1973, the BLA attacked police in San Francisco,

North Carolina, Atlanta and New York. In the space of a couple of days in May 1971, it shot four cops in New York, killing two. It carried out a particularly gruesome murder in the East Village in January 1972, ambushing two officers from behind and shooting them to bits when they fell to the ground.

All told, the group killed roughly 10 police officers before it was hunted down and broken up.

Obviously, nothing like the BLA exists today. There isn’t an anti-police underground with safe houses, mandatory readings in Mao and a funding apparatus built on armed robbery. The cop killers in Dallas and Baton Rouge were, to borrow a phrase from international terrorism, “lone wolves.”

But the logic of the Baton Rouge shooter as he explained it on YouTube — the police are a predatory, occupying force that must be resisted violently — is exactly the same as the BLA’s.

The United States has experienced an extraordinary period of social peace dating from the Rodney King riot in 1992 — more than 50 dead and $1 billion in damages — to today. The recent unrest in Ferguson and Baltimore can’t be compared with that five-day conflagration, or the urban riots of the 1960s. But order is always a fragile thing, dependent on the sense of the legitimacy of our institutions.

With the police under a withering moral and intellectual assault, politicized assassinations of cops, which a few weeks ago would have seemed a relic of the 1970s, are back.

Clover Kids to participate in Lego League showcase The Union County 4-H Clover Kids program will be sending three teams to the Lego League Showcase in Osceola Thursday, July 21, at the Clarke County Fair.

The members of the Lego League have been working hard since March to build their motorized Lego models around the state-wide theme called “Waste Wise.” The theme is centered on solving the issue of “waste” in today’s society.

Members started off the season by learning about recycling, landfills and waste management practices. The end goal of the Lego League is to build a Lego model with at least one motorized part that shows how a waste problem can be solved, all while keeping the model within a 15-inch by 15-inch square.

Members also designed a display board to complete their work that includes pictures, steps of their process and drawings of their models.

The Lego League Showcase in Osceola will consist of 10 teams in the southwest Iowa region and will be judged on a noncompetitive basis. Teams will get the opportunity to share their models and displays with judges as well as the public during a two-hour period.

Union County Extension received three grants from the Iowa State University College of Engineering and John Deere this past winter to help fund the Lego leagues.

In order to participate in this particular Lego league then participants had to be members of a Union County Clover Kid program, which is made up of kindergaren through third-grade students.

Why you need vitamin E and how to get your daily dose

(BPT) – You get your fill of vitamins C and D by eating oranges and soaking in a little sun each day, which is good for your body and mind. Small habits like these can have a big impact on your overall health and help you feel your best each day. However, vitamins C and D aren’t the only vitamins your body needs to thrive. Take vitamin E, for example. This overlooked vitamin is essential to our well-being and yet, many people don’t know anything about it. Let’s take a moment to learn about the super vitamin, and what you can do to get your daily intake.

What are the benefits of vitamin E? Vitamin E, like vitamin C, is an antioxidant and therefore helps improve immunity levels. Here are the possible benefits of vitamin E, and how it can specifically enhance your health. * Fights summer colds: Winter isn’t the only time you can catch a cold. In the summer, vitamin E can boost your immunity to prevent sickness during the warmer months. * Extends cell life: What’s the secret to aging well? While there are many factors that can influence aging, vitamin E can extend cell life to keep skin in great shape for years. * Repairs damaged cells: With vitamin E oil, you can also repair damaged cells. Specifically, vitamin E can be used to treat sunburns and scars. * May reduce risk of heart disease and cancer: There’s still much to be discovered about vitamin E. Currently, doctors and scientists are testing whether vitamin E can reduce the risk of serious health conditions, like heart disease and cancer. * Reduces risk of cataracts and other eye issues: Maintain eye health and prevent serious eye diseases by getting your daily intake of vitamin E. * May slow down cognitive decline: Studies have found that a higher intake of vitamin E in older individuals can reduce cognitive decline and can even slow down the progression of diseases like Alzheimer’s.

How can I get more vitamin E in my diet?

The US Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin E in individuals 14 years and older is 15 mg. Instead of taking supplements to get the recommended daily dosage, however, save your money and add vitamin-rich foods to your diet. “The simplest way to increase your vitamin E intake is to follow a healthy diet that focuses on eating vitamin E-rich vegetables, fruits, healthy 8 X 8 PAN DESSERTS fats and lean forms of protein,” says Lyssie Lakatos, a registered dietitian.

A love of olives Dear Heloise: I love BLACK OLIVES and eat them regularly. However, there are occasions when I don’t need the entire can and want to save the remaining olives. What is the best way to save them? – Richard W., via email You are talking to a gal who LOVES olives! Once a can is opened, it’s suggested to transfer the olives to a different container. Some say to put a lid on it, and others say to cover loosely with plastic wrap. Make sure to keep them covered in the brine. One olive producer said nothing about keeping them in the can; another said not to. Your call!

They are fine in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

But in my house, they don’t last that long! – Heloise

These expand far more while cooking than the oats do. In fact, the packages suggest an extra-large bowl, even for only one package.

I tried a glass, 4-cup measuring cup, and it worked great! The cereal expanded about halfway, but stayed well in the cup. These obviously are still usable as measures, but they were bought specifically for cooking these massively expanding cereals.

MAKIN’ BACON Dear Heloise: Bacon packs a lot of flavor, but is not very healthy. Here’s how to keep intake low, enjoy the flavor and reduce kitchen messes: I buy two packs of the thin-cut, low-sodium bacon.

I fry all of it to just before crispness, take a long piece of paper towel and line up the bacon on it. I roll it into rolls so it doesn’t stick together, then place this in a large, zipper top freezer bag and freeze.

When needing bacon for a recipe or salad, I take out just the amount needed and microwave it on a paper towel for 20-30 seconds.

FORT DODGE — Back and forth they joked in their dorm rooms. Members of the Creston softball team tried to one-up each other in a fierce game of UNO. Later, they perused the shops of Crossroads Mall in Fort Dodge. At suppertime, they shared a team meal together at Applebee’s.

It wasn’t the day the Creston softball team had originally envisioned, but they made the most of it after Mother Nature washed away their plans.

Heavy rains early in the day postponed all play at the Harlan Rogers Sports Complex. Their first-round game against Fairfield was postponed to 5:30 p.m. today.

“When it thundered, we were like ‘What the heck?’ said senior Jami Sickels.

“We were like, what now?”

Creston coach Mike McCabe didn’t expect to see a line of heavy storms when he awoke before 6 a.m. to schedule the team for a hitting session later in the day at Iowa Central Community College’s indoor training facility.

“I went out and signed us up for practice time. It looked pretty nice out,” he said. “I checked the radar. There was a little line of storms. Maybe we were going to catch the southern end of it. It went down and looped around.”

The rains came, and came, and came some more. Heavy rain fell for some two and a half hours.

McCabe knew after the heavy rains hammered Webster County that there wasn’t going to be any games played Tuesday.

Creston softball takes on own personality Team carries traits of Panther teams of past â–

Kronberg’s korner Ryan Kronberg sport editor

FORT DODGE — Each season, a new group of players steps out onto the softball field.

Some have been there for a long time, the program’s juniors and seniors. Others are just coming into the program for the first time either as eighth-graders or having moved to Creston.

Each team brings its own personality to the diamond each and every day.

Each group makes memories that will last a lifetime for the players and coaches.

For Creston’s softball team this season, the squad has provided a summer’s worth of memories for coaches Mike McCabe and Teri Keeler as well as the players themselves. “Each team is unique,� Keeler said. “They develop their own personality based off of the senior leadership.�

This team’s stood out in its own way. “We always joke with this group it’s sassy pants, but they’re really not sassy kids,� Keeler said. “They’re fun to be around. They’re just a joy to be around.�

They can be serious when needed, noted McCabe. “They’re just gritty, tough-minded,� McCabe said. “They don’t want to let me down, they don’t want to let each other down to the point that they’re hard on themselves when they feel they’re letting me down or each other down.�

At times, they’re lighthearted, Keeler added.

“They’re just carefree, laid back,� she said. “They don’t stress about the game. When they’re at practice, they’re there to practice, but yet they like to have fun. They just keep us on our toes.�

The kids make coming to the ballpark each day enjoyable, Keeler noted. “The kids are great to be around,� Keeler said. “They make it worthwhile. They become your own kids throughout the summer.

We spend more time with them then they do with their families.�

Because they spent so much time together, they are able to know each one of the kids on a deep level. “You know what they like, what they don’t like,� Keeler said. “You can tell if they’re having a good day, or a bad day, we’d better not joke around.�

This team exemplifies several of the traits that have become common among Creston teams, McCabe said. “They have toughness. They’re gritty, they never give up,� McCabe said. “I don’t think we’re a flashy program. We don’t consider ourselves that way. We’re blue collar, hard working.�

The best of what Creston softball has been in the past shows in this team, McCabe noted. “This group has shown some toughness, the ability to not quit,�

McCabe said. “They exemplify what we want to see in Creston softball. If you come to work, play hard and do the right things, trust the process, what you coaches ask you do to day-in and day-out, it will

McCabe said. “We have a large group of seniors, which is unusal McCabe anymore.�

lieve and think I can do it.�

Familia’s teammates kept their cool, too. “I know Familia is going to do it,� catcher Rivera said. “I know he has been there before. After the first couple of batters, I went out there and gave him support.�

Rivera had the third single in the ninth — following hits by Loney and Asdrubal Cabrera — off Hector Rondon (1-2) as the Mets beat the Cubs for the fifth time in six games after sweeping them in last year’s NL Championship Series.

Hansel Robles (4-3) pitched two scoreless innings in relief for the win.

All-Star right-handers Jake Arrieta of the Cubs and Noah Syndergaard of the Mets returned to dominant form in no decisions. Arrieta retired 14 of the first 15 Mets hitters, including 12 straight following Yoenis Cespedes’ single in the first. He allowed one run and struck out eight in seven innings, his longest outing since June 11.

Last year’s NL Cy Young Award winner got back on track after allowing four or

more earned runs in three consecutive starts for the first time since 2012. “That was a little more like it,� Arrieta said. “I was really aggressive in the strike zone and I was using my offspeed pretty much throughout the whole game.�

Syndergaard gave up one unearned run on seven hits through 5 2/3 innings. He struck out eight before being replaced by Jerry Blevins after throwing 105 pitches.

Syndergaard had his velocity early, reaching 100 mph in the first inning, and was able to escape jams in the first and second.

He left in the fifth inning of his previous start, on July 8, with arm fatigue after allowing three runs in a loss to Washington. “It was great to come in here and squeeze out a win against their ace,� Syndergaard said. “My arm felt really loose and fluid even later in the game.�

Arrieta doubled with two out in the fourth, then was thrown out at the plate when he tried to score on Tommy La Stella’s single.

Mets hold off Cubs, 2-1 CHICAGO (AP) — Jeurys Familia lost control, but not the lead, and kept the Mets ahead and his consecutive save streak intact.

New York’s closer escaped a bases-loaded jam with a game-ending double play after Rene Rivera drove in the tiebreaking run with two outs in the top of the ninth, lifting New York over the Chicago Cubs 2-1 on Tuesday night.

Familia walked Addison Russell and Miguel Montero to start the ninth, then Javier Baez reached on a bunt single when third baseman Jose Reyes threw wide to first. Pinch-hitter Matt Szczur hit a grounder to first baseman James Loney, and Loney threw out Russell at the plate. Kris Bryant then hit into a 5-4-3 double play to give Familia his 33rd save in 33 chances this season and 49th straight dating to Aug. 1, 2015. “I just always try in a situation like that, to throw my sinker down and let them make contact with a groundball and believe in myself,�

Many memories have been made on the field, McCabe noted.

The memories last beyond the ballpark though, he added. “I’ll miss them more off the field in non-softball than I’ll miss them on the field,� McCabe said. “It’s the relationship you build with them. I remember going to a basketball game on a winter night and them coming over across the gym floor to talk.

happened,” McCabe said.

“I’m sure the outfield was a mess.”

The Panthers had to come up with other ways to fill the time in the meantime instead of preparing for the game.

They found other things to do.

Part of the afternoon was spent hitting at Iowa Central Community College’s indoor facility for a regularly scheduled batting practice session.

Senior Taylor Briley noted the extra work benefited the team.

“It helps a little bit to have another day of practice,” Briley said.

Briley made the most of it, throwing a bullpen session during the afternoon workout.

“I won’t be as sore,” Bri-

ley said. “I would’ve liked to have thrown yesterday. This is good for me getting ready to play.”

Before the rains came, the Panthers were in game-day mode.

“We were all really nervous thinking about our game,” senior Josie Sickels said.

The team took advantage of the day to sharpen their focus for the matchup against Fairfield.

“It’s been fun having the extra day,” said senior Alyssa Higgins. “We’re more comfortable than what we would’ve been. We’re all ready to go.”

Practice went well, McCabe noted.

But it wasn’t all work.

Part of the day was spent playing an intense game of UNO. “UNO got pretty competitive,” Briley said. “Every time somebody got UNO,

we wanted to see what card they had, then we would all stack up against them.”

The team took advantage of free time to head to the mall. Some found things they liked enough to buy. Others just browsed the stores.

Supper was together at Applebee’s.

They took the rainout as best they could.

“There’s nothing we can do,” said senior Alli Thomsen. “All we can do is be positive.”

Today will feature a normal game-day routine.

“We’ll go eat lunch, do our pregame hitting at the indoor facility, go out to one of the practice fields for our groundballs before the game,” McCabe said.

Today’s forecast is much different than Tuesday’s, with intense heat set to envelop north-central Iowa.

“We’ll jump from rain to sunburn,” McCabe said.

Corning WIC clinic is moving Deadline extended, Grassley fall internship applications due Aug. 1 to First Presbyterian Church Internships are available in Grassley’s Washington, D.C., office and in Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des Moines, Sioux City and Waterloo.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa said that the deadline for fall internships for college-age Iowans has been extended. Applications will now be accepted through Aug. 1.

Internships are available in Grassley’s Washington, D.C., office as well as his offices in Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des Moines, Sioux City and Waterloo. The semester-long internships will run from Aug. 22 to Dec. 16.

Interns assist staff members with administrative, legislative and communications work, including that of Grassley’s staff on the Committee on the Judiciary, where he serves as chairman. An internship allows for a wide range of learning

experience and exposure for students on Capitol Hill.

A firsthand account of a Grassley internship can be read at www.grassley.senate.gov/sites/default/files/ students/upload/Intern%20 account%2C%207-7-15.pdf.

Grassley said he encourages young Iowans who are interested in learning more about the government to apply.

“Interning in a congressional office is a good way for college students and new graduates to learn more about the legislative branch of the federal government while gaining valuable experience,” Grassley said. “Internships in my offices are available to students in all areas of study.”

Application forms are available on Grassley’s website at www.grassley.senate. gov/students/internships and in Grassley’s offices in Iowa.

Because of security-related delays in postal mail delivery to U.S. Senate office buildings, internship applications should be emailed to intern_applications@grassley.senate.gov or faxed to 202-224-5136. For additional information, email molly_foley@grassley.senate.gov or call 202-224-3744.

The monthly Women, Infants and Children (WIC) nutritional supplement clinic held in Corning is moving to a new location beginning with a clinic scheduled Tuesday.

The new location is First Presbyterian Church, 907 Grove Ave., in Corning.

This is a permanent change.

The hours of the clinic will remain from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. except in July when the clinic will begin later to accommodate for the Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI).

“This is a lovely location, provides easy access for our participants and is just a few blocks from downtown Corning,” said Karla Hynes, WIC coordinator.

“Everything else will remain the same. We’ll still be

in Corning the fourth Tuesday of every month from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you already have an appointment, there is no need to make a new one. We are starting a little later in July so help our staff negotiate the extra bicyclists on the road for RAGBRAI.” For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 641-202-7114.

WIC is a supplemental nutrition program for babies, children under the age of 5, pregnant women, breastfeeding women and women who have had a baby in the last six months.

WIC helps families by providing healthy foods, nutrition education and referrals to other health care agencies. The local WIC agency is managed by MATURA Action Corporation.
