Senate GOP leaders hope for health care vote next week WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican leaders are hoping to stage a climactic vote on their health care bill next week, though internal rifts over divisive issues like coverage requirements and Medicaid cuts leave the timing and even the measure’s fate in question.

“We need to start voting” on the GOP bill scuttling much of President Barack Obama’s health care law, No. 2 Senate GOP l e a d e r Cornyn

John Cornyn of Texas told reporters Monday. Some Republicans said a revised version of the bill could be introduced Thursday, and Cornyn said the “goal” was for a vote next week.

Cornyn cited seven years of unresolved Republican debate over how to replace the 2010 statute during which “we gain a vote, we lose a vote.” That underscored a sense among top Republicans that they had little to gain by letting their disputes drag on much further.

Consensus on a replacement seemed more remote than ever as senators re-

turned to the Capitol from a Fourth of July recess. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who crafted the bill largely in secret, postponed a vote last month in the face of certain defeat.

Republicans were hearing divergent messages from the White House Monday.

President Donald Trump pressured GOP senators to pass the measure quickly, while Vice President Mike Pence suggested they might have to revert to a straightforward “Obamacare” repeal if they can’t agree on an alternative.

McConnell has little

room for error as he tries to pass a bill with 50 GOP votes, and Pence as the McConnell tie-breaker, in a Senate Republicans control by 52-48. All Democrats are opposed.

With at least a dozen Republicans opposing or challenging parts of McConnell’s bill, the leader has been working on revisions aimed at bringing more HEALTH | 2A

6-cent levy continuation As part of the Sept. 12 Iowa school board public elections, voters will decide in a referendum whether to continue the 6-cent levy for SWCC that has been in place for the past 10 years.

All 15 Iowa community colleges have 6-cent levies in place.

Funds gathered from the 6-cent levy are used by SWCC to purchase instructional classroom equipment exclusively.

“It goes right to the students,” said Tom Lesan, SWCC vice president of economic development.

“It’s in the classroom — it’s not salaries, it’s not new roads, it’s not a n y t h i n g Lesan else. It’s just classroom equipment.

That’s how we upgrade

“IT’S IN the classroom – it’s not salaries, it’s not new roads, it’s not anything else. It’s just classroom equipment.”

computer labs, that’s how we get new technology in the classroom and all that.

And we’re not trying to sneak it by people — we want people to know what it is.”

SWCC President Barb Crittenden also emphasizes to tax-payers the levy will not increase their bottom-lines, and that it is a continuation of a levy already in place.

Overall, SWCC’s total tax asking is less than 88 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation.

GOP senators on board. Final decisions remain to be made on how tightly to curb the growth of Medicaid, the health insurance program for the poor; whether to let insurers sell low-cost policies with very limited coverage; and how much money to devote to making health care tax credits more generous, said No. 3 Senate Republican John Thune of South Dakota.

Congress is beginning a three-week sprint toward its traditional five-week August recess, and GOP leaders want to finish work on the measure by then. Some lawmakers have suggested the break should be shortened or canceled if they can’t get health care done first, though that’s unlikely to happen. “I cannot imagine that Congress would dare to

poration, and has moved up that ladder, but is really tired of traveling. So we were fortunate to be at the right place and the right time to get Josh.�

The board approved the employment of two new instructors; each for a 202day contract.

Ms. Brooke Owen was hired for the 2017-18 academic year as a nursing instructor. Owen expects to receive a Master of Science in nursing from Chamberlain College in December of this year, and currently

works as nursing simulation lab coordinator for SWCC. Owen is also a part-time registered nurse working at Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston and Montgomery County Memorial Hospital in Red Oak. Mr. Josh Keul was also hired for the 2017-18 academic year as an electrical technology instructor. Keul is a Master Class A Electrician in Iowa, and currently works as electrical division manager for Seneca Companies in Des Moines. “Josh is a fourth-generation electrician — he comes from a long family line of electricians,� Taylor said. “He has spent the last couple of years at Seneca Cor-

leave Washington without a beautiful new HealthCare bill fully approved and ready to go!� Trump tweeted early Monday.

Hours later, Pence emphasized another approach Trump has at times suggested. “We believe if they can’t pass this carefully crafted repeal and replace bill, do those two things simultaneously, we ought to just repeal only,� and then turn to replacement leg- Pence islation later on, Pence told conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.

Too many Republicans oppose repealing Obama’s law without also enacting an alternative to give that tactic much chance of succeeding.

To succeed, the new legislation will have to address

the concerns of conservatives like Mike Lee of Utah and Ted Cruz of Texas, who want a more full-blown repeal, and moderates like Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who want essentially the opposite, a more generous bill.

McConnell himself has acknowledged that if he can’t get the job done with Republicans alone, he’ll have to turn to Democrats to shore up the market for individual insurance buyers.

The House managed to pass health care legislation in May after plentiful struggles of its own to reach agreement. Both the House and Senate bills eliminate Obamacare’s mandates for people to buy insurance and individuals to provide it, gradually undo an expansion of Medicaid and reduce the size of the federal-state health care program for the poor and disabled. The measures would cut taxes for the wealthy.

Both bills would result in

more than 20 million people kicked off insurance rolls over the next decade, numbers that have spooked lawmakers eyeing re-election.

Around 80 demonstrators opposed to the legislation were arrested around the Capitol complex Monday, according to U.S. Capitol Police.

Cruz has proposed letting insurers sell any policies they’d like, as long as they also sell one that covers a list of services like maternity care that Obama’s law requires. The Cruz amendment was alienating senators like Collins amid concerns it would lead to unaffordable prices for people with pre-existing medical conditions because younger, healthier customers wouldn’t be sharing their costs.

Pence endorsed Cruz’s plan on Limbaugh’s show, saying: “Rush, that’s what freedom looks like, isn’t it?�

According to an Adair County sheriff report, deputies witnessed a silver Pontiac drive on the shoulder of I-80, cross the fog line and then quickly jerk the vehicle back into the lane of traffic. Deputies conducted a traffic stop. As they approached the vehicle from the passenger side deputies identified the driver as Lehman. While speaking to Lehman, deputies witnessed a small amount of green leafy substance that appeared to be marijuana sitting on the passenger seat. Deputies advised Lehman to exit the vehicle and placed him in handcuffs.

Deputies explained to Lehman that he was being charged with possession of marijuana. Deputies asked Lehman if there was any more marijuana in the vehicle other than the small amount they could see on the passenger seat. Lehman said was a good amount of marijuana underneath the driver’s seat. Deputies then conducted a search of the vehicle and located a white jar with a large amount of marijuana inside. Lehman stated that he was picking up the marijuana for his step-father. Lehman said he met an individual in Stuart and picked up the marijuana from them.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, July 11, 2017

How I ended up here Creston is the smallest town I’ve ever lived in, but it hasn’t felt small in the two months I’ve been here.

I’ve met plenty of good people, people who seem to genuinely care about me and my well being.

That is extremely comforting. It feels like home and that is something I wasn’t sure I was going to feel this early on.

After going 2,500 miles away from home for college, I got more accustomed to being away from family for extended periods of time. I wouldn’t say it’s the easiest thing to do, but I don’t feel homesick as often as some people might in a similar situation.

The amusing part about this move is now I’m finding a home.

Who is to say where my home is now?

After growing up for 18 years in the Bay Area, both my parents decided to move to the east coast and head back to their roots while I was still in school in Ohio.

Carter’s 2 Cents Carter Eckl staff writer

I dealt with a lot of change while in college and that change took quite a while to get used to.

For my mom that meant North Carolina, moving back to the town she grew up in. My dad, it meant Virginia and soon after that Tennessee, where he went to high school.

Summers were long and filled with loads of free time due to the fact I didn’t know anyone outside of the family members I had in the area.

Which, in some aspects, is similar to my transition into Creston.

I will say the move has been made incredibly easier with the help of my close comrade Kaleb Carter.

Kaleb and I went to Ohio Uni-

versity together and he was one of the first people I met when I stepped on the gorgeous Athens campus.

If you haven’t met me yet, I hold that school as dear to me as almost anything else.

Kaleb had called me many times to try to convince me to come work in Creston, but I didn’t know the first thing about the town other than what I could picture in my head during our phone calls.

One week in March, while visiting my sister, who attends the University of Missouri, I decided I was going to make the 4 1/2 hour trek north to see my pal whom I hadn’t seen in almost a year.

It was dark, gloomy and rain hovered over Creston the entire extent of my stay. It wasn’t warm or green or anything like my first experience in Ohio. That, was my first thought.

Not long after I arrived in my

soon-to-be new home, I met Scott Vicker and the three of us went out to dinner.

Scott joked that he should have put the meal on his business card writing off as a business expense and essentially an interview.

I laughed thinking to myself, sure, I would have taken a free meal. Not really convinced that this was going to be my new residence a little less than two months from then.

The two of them spent the rest of the night chauffeuring me around the city before we stopped at some of the local watering holes. The two of them put on their recruiting hats and proceeded to make me ask every question I could possibly think of.

What I didn’t know at the time was, it worked.

After returning to North Carolina, I did a lot of thinking. Of course, Kaleb and Scott were making sure they had a voice in

my ear for a good chunk of that.

After a 90-minute “round table discussion” one random Wednesday night, I had a pretty good idea that I was going to end up in Creston.

I wasn’t necessarily looking for another big change, but I knew it would be a lot easier with one of my best friends there with me (Scott was pretty convincing too).

So, two months later, here I sit in rural Iowa, just enjoying the first town I’ve lived in on my own, in my first professional job.

Everyone always asks me, Why Creston? or Why Ohio? and one of these days I’m going to have a good answer for you. Until then, I am just going to continue to enjoy the adventure I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to experience.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Lessons in life From Ron Dunphy Creston

Ever do something without planning? My wife and I seem to more often these days.

Last Saturday we drove south into Missouri, the objective became locating an iris garden to inquire about purchasing the beautiful iris bulbs the person offered for sale as advertised online. The venue was not open.

The question became, “What do we do now, dear?” We were close to Weston. A friend from kindergarten and her husband live near Weston. Shall we call them? Asking them to go out for dinner tonight became the focal point of the rest of the afternoon. Rest assured, we connected with the Lampes.

We consumed a great meal together as we discussed life as retirees for two hours. Children and grandchildren got much attention.

As darkness set in, we took comfort in an Atchison, Kansas, tent for rent. We lived in Atchison during our early marriage, and we opted to go to church Sunday

morning at Benedictine Abbey on the Missouri Bluffs. I had not planned on hearing a homily given by an aging professor, Father Blaine. Blaine has taught music to thousands of Benedictine Ravens during his 50-year tenure. I was surprised by his thin appearance, aged continence and slight limp as he moved about the altar.

Beginning his homily he asked, “What is written on the Statue of Liberty?”

Poet Emma Lazarus supplied the words, “Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she with silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

What we all might learn from the statue’s offering? Is this not the same as what was taught to us as children and adults in hymns and scripture? “Come, and I will give you peace.”

Is this reflective of our values today? Is this how we are living?

Trump in Hamburg HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Los Angeles was rated America’s most multicultural city in a survey Tuesday. It means we must all be very sensitive.

I myself felt the sting of racial prejudice at the grocery store in Beverly Hills Saturday when I noticed that the sign above aisle six reads Asian Food, Hispanic Food and Crackers.

President Trump’s stay in Hamburg was closely monitored by the U.S. media Friday. At a park, Trump came upon a toddler choking on a Tootsie Roll and he saved the child by performing the Heimlich maneuver and removing it. That night, CNN headlined that Trump takes candy from a baby.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson gave a detailed report Friday of President Trump’s twohour one-on-one meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin at the Group of 20 Summit in Hamburg Friday. Establishing trust took some time. It was just the two of them, and their food tasters.

President Trump tweeted in his meeting with Vladimir Putin in Hamburg he strongly pressed the Russian president about interfering with the U.S. election.

He’s serious. Trump was perfectly happy as host of “The Apprentice” once a week and now he’s the defendant every night on Get Trump!

President Trump met privately with Great Britain’s Prime Min-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

ister Theresa May on Saturday on the final day of the Group of 20 Summit in Hamburg. We may saddle up together again soon.

Great Britain vowed Saturday to stay close to the United States, if only out of morbid curiosity.

Pope Francis declared Sunday the U.S. has a different view of the world than other nations have. The Catholic Church has its own divisions. The first time Irish toddlers see a crucifix in the sanctuary and ask their mothers who nailed Jesus to the cross, the mothers tell them the Italians did it.

Lindsay Lohan issued a tweet Friday telling Hollywood to get off President Trump’s back and calling for Americans to start trusting the president. It never fails in this town. Once you realize you are never going to work in Hollywood again anyways, you get your First Amendment rights back.

The White House last week launched a national effort to crack down on the prescription drug epidemic that has been sweeping the nation over the last five years. Younger Americans seem to prefer to get high on opioids. The Millenials don’t like cocaine, it blocks their reflection in the mirror.

Santa Barbara firefighters battled raging brushfires on hillsides Sunday which broke out with the arrival of triple-digit heat. The insurance companies are terrified. There are some beautiful homes in Southern California that are built on bluffs, because nobody ever asks to see the tax returns.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency for New York subways that are breaking down, running late and trapping passengers inside. Billions are needed to fix it. The conditions on New York subways are so awful that millions of riders have decided to urinate at home.

Psychology Today published a study saying millions of Americans who work very long hours are risking their health. In France however, the 35 hour work week is reportedly wearing the French out. There aren’t enough hours in the day in France to balance work, play and adultery.

Broadway’s “Hamilton” opens soon at the Pantages Theater in L.A. My cousin founded the U.S. credit system, the Stock Exchange, the Bank of New York, the New York Post and the Special Relationship with England, while I have every episode of “Maverick,” “Perry Mason,” “MI-5” and “The Wire” on DVD. This is why it’s $600 a ticket to see “Hamilton” at the Pantages and $20 a ticket to see him at the Comedy Store.

Finder of potential game-changing Earhart pix tells story NEW YORK (AP) — The retired federal agent who discovered what he believes is the first photographic evidence of Amelia Earhart alive and well after crash-landing in the Pacific Ocean during her attempted round-the-world flight says he didn’t initially capture the significance of the image until years later.

The black-and-white photo is of a group of people standing on a dock on Jaluit Atoll in the Marshall Islands, including one who seems to be a slim woman with her back to the camera. A new documentary airing Sunday on the History channel claims the figure is the famed aviator who disappeared 80 years ago this month.

Retired U.S. Treasury Agent Les Kinney said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press that he was looking for clues surrounding Earhart’s disappearance in the National Archives in College Park, Maryland, when he found the photograph in 2012 in a box filled mostly with text documents from the Office of Naval Intelligence but “didn’t

a curator at the National Air and Space Museum and an expert on women in aviation.

She said Thursday the blurry image isn’t conclusive. “I cannot say definitively that this is Amelia Earhart. That doesn’t mean that it might not be, somehow. But you can’t say that just through the image the way it is.”

The disappearance of Earhart and Noonan on July 2, 1937, in the Western Pacific Ocean has been the subject of continuing searches, research and debate.

The longstanding official theory is that the famed pilot ran out of gas and crashed into deep ocean waters northwest of Howland Island, a tiny speck in the South Pacific that she and Noonan missed.

Other theories have claimed Earhart made an emergency landing on a flat stretch of coral reef off what was then known as Gardner Island, southwest of Howland, although bone fragments found on the island were inconclusive. An Australian researcher once proposed that wreckage spotted by members of his country’s

really look at it carefully” because he was looking over thousands of documents and images.

In 2015, he took another pass at the photo. “I looked at it and I went, ‘I can’t believe this!’” He asked his wife to come over and pointed to the seated person, asking if it seemed to her to be a man or a woman. “She said, ‘It’s a woman!’” His search led him to identify the ship seen at the right apparently pulling Earhart’s plane wreckage on a barge.

The image is at the heart of the two-hour “Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence,” which argues that Earhart, along with her navigator Fred Noonan, crash-landed in the Japanese-held Marshall Islands, where they were picked up by the Japanese military and held prisoner.

In the documentary, that photo is subjected to facial-recognition and other forensic testing, such as torso measurements. Experts on the show claim the subjects are likely Earhart and Noonan.

Others aren’t convinced, including Dorothy Cochrane,

military years ago on a Papua New Guinea island could be hers.

Kinney, who started his career as a naval intelligence agent, said the photograph he found was in a batch of documents collected by U.S. sources in anticipation of the 1944 invasion of the Marshall Islands. “This was a mistake.

This was never meant to be there,” he said. The National Archives verified Thursday that the image is from its holdings and was in a file “unrelated to Earhart.”

While the photo is undated, Kinney strongly believes it was taken in July 1937, and he is convinced it shows Earhart and Noonan, based on other evidence including physical landmarks and islanders’ recollections.

Kinney said the presence of two Caucasians on Jaluit Atoll prior to World War II was very unusual. The man’s distinctive widow’s peak seems to match Noonan’s.

As for the figure with her back to the camera: “You have one that has a striking resemblance to Amelia Earhart from the back, including the short hair.”

Dear Heloise: I was surprised to get a letter from a major discount retailer’s finance department stating that because I haven’t used its CREDIT CARD in over six months and have no balance on the card, the company is going to close my charge account!

I thought I was being responsible by paying off my card, and that the company would want me as a customer because I am conscientious.

Wrong!

I called the company, and the representative apologized, and said at first that it makes no business sense for the company to keep inactive accounts open.

Then she said this is a marketing technique to remind people that they have the credit card. Ridiculous!

Do your readers have any comments? – Erica D. in San Antonio Readers, what do you say?

– Heloise FAMILY MATTERS Dear Heloise: I lost my father, and as I was sorting through the sympathy cards, I had an idea for a helpful hint. Please do not make checks out “To the family of (name)” or even just “family.”

It’s difficult enough to

deal with the memories and the generosity of friends and family without trying to convince the bank you are the “family of” a deceased person.

Thanks for all your help through the years. I read your hints in The Bryan (Ohio) Times. – Diane H., via email PUMP SOAP CONTAINER Dear Heloise: I just wanted to let you know a way to reuse those foam pump soap containers.

I thought that if liquid soap comes out in foam form, why not other liquids? I put some blue glass cleaner in the bottle and pressed, and voila – foam window cleaner! Less mess and no buckets of water! – Anna Mae S., Lancaster, Ohio HANDLING A SANDWICH Dear Heloise: When I have a sandwich that will be messy to eat, I slip it into a plastic sandwich bag and peel the bag back, much like a banana, as I eat the sandwich.

Nothing falls out, and my hands stay clean. – S.J.M., Lakeland, Fla. LETTER-PERFECT Dear Heloise: When I moved out of my apartment, I of course forwarded my address with the post office, but

SUDOKU

there always can be letters that get through, and the forward is good only for about one year.

I left several large, stamped envelopes with my new address with the landlord, and some with the new tenant.

They usually will forward mail to me as a courtesy; I would do the same for them!

– Jackson F. in Alabama BUSINESS BOX Dear Heloise: I enjoy your column, and wanted to pass along a household hint: I decorated a recipe box, and on index cards inside I have the businesses and phone numbers I deal with, such as newspapers, the gas company, TV, etc. I keep the file on my desk. – Donna A., Mission Hills, Calif.

The Numbers Game

Senior night success

The number of home runs the New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge hit Judge over 450 feet in Monday’s MLB Home Run Derby on his way to winning the competition.

National Digest

All rise as Judge smashes his way to Home Run Derby title MIAMI (AP) — Aaron Judge hit the glass behind left field that supports the retractable roof at Marlins Park. He drove balls over the Red Grooms home run sculpture in left-center, over the batter’s eye in center and — unusually for a Home Run Derby, to the opposite field, too.

He even hit the roof.

The larger-than-life New York Yankees slugger dominated the All-Star Home Run Derby in the same manner he has smashed his way through his rookie season, beating Minnesota’s Miguel Sano 11-10 with two minutes to spare in the final on Monday night.

“It was a blast. I enjoyed every minute of it — watching the other guys swing, coming here early and talking to the media,” Judge said.

“Everything about today was fantastic.”

Five years ago, Judge won the college home run derby in Omaha, Nebraska. This time, he outslugged some of baseball’s top stars, including local favorites Giancarlo Stanton and Justin Bour of the Miami Marlins.

“A lot more fans,” Judge said. “Your adrenaline is pumping, you’re nervous, you’re excited. But this was an incredible experience.”

Judge, 6-foot-7 and 282 pounds, hit 47 home runs in the derby that totaled 3.9 miles. His longest drive of the night went 513 feet, and he topped 500 four times.

“I thought I had seen it all before. He didn’t even look like he was getting tired,” said Seattle’s Robinson Cano, the 2011 Derby winner. “He was going opposite field. He was late on the ball and he was putting the ball in the upper deck.”

Judge had no trouble hitting the roof, thought to be previously untouched by batted ball. That drive didn’t count.

“I got it in BP, too, earlier. So I wasn’t too surprised by that,” Judge said.

Hitting second each time, Judge knocked out Bour 23-22 in the first round and beat Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Cody Bellinger 13-12 in the second.

Then, with lightning visible behind the huge glass door, he hit a 458-foot drive above the batter’s eye for the title.

“That guy Aaron Judge, he doesn’t get tired,” Sano said.

Panthers mount late rally with small ball n

By CARTER ECKL CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

Creston’s three seniors were sent out at home with a bang with a 4-1 over Adel-Desoto-Minburn on senior night Monday.

A four-run sixth inning anchored by six strong innings of work from senior Cody Crawford on the mound gave the Panthers a winning formula.

The sixth opened with a four-pitch walk issued to Jaden Driskell. Kadon Hulett laid down a sacrifice bunt and Dustin Merritt knocked Driskell’s courtesy runner, Garrett Dahl, over to third on a single to center.

Beau Barncastle put the Panthers on the board with a two-run single to right-center field scoring Dahl and Barncastle Merritt.

Luke Latham followed that

up with a single, knocking A-D-M pitcher Cody Osgood out of the game after just one and 2/3 innings of relief.

Two pitches later, Michael Scherer roped a tworun double over the left fielder bring Barncastle and Latham across the plate.

Crawford pounded the strike zone through his six innings of work. He allowed five hits, walked two batters

and struck out one.

“Cody was just around the plate did a really nice job of doing his job as a pitcher,” said Panther head coach Steve Birchard. “When Cody does his job on the mound and defensively we run some balls down that’s the way its done.”

Crawford was pleased that he was given the nod to pitch on senior night.

“I take it as an honor,”

said Crawford postgame.

“Last time playing on the field so, its nice to be the one to throw.”

Defensively, Creston was solid.

Scherer made a diving catch in Scherer center field to prevent a hit in the

third inning. The only miscue came in the seventh inning, when a sharply hit ground ball snuck its way past Barncastle at third base and into the outfield.

The Tigers scored first in the third inning when Nick Lindgren crushed an RBI double to bring Kinnick Sutton around to score.

kacarter@crestonnews.com

OSCEOLA — Murray softball coach Danny Jensen knew how good Colfax-Mingo’s bats were at the top of the lineup, but he may have underestimated just how much damage they could do.

Murray’s leap for state glory got shut down in a hurry Monday as Class 1A 11th-ranked Colfax-Mingo scattered hits all over Osceola’s Terri Benson Memorial Field to the 10th-ranked Murray Mustangs 13-2 to win Class 1A Region 8 and advance on to Fort Dodge.

There, the Tiger Hawks (25-11) will be the five seed and will open up postseason play against fourth-seeded Westwood (29-10).

The loss ended an 11game winning streak for Murray.

“It’s pretty depressing.

We had such a great year,” Jensen said. “Right now it’s hard to concentrate on the (28-6) season.”

The Lady Mustangs fell in a hole right away when the Tiger Hawks started the game with consecutive hits,

Wilson had four hits and scored three runs, as the top of the Tiger Hawks’ lineup was consistent throughout Monday’s Class 1A Region 8 final.

and then Colfax-Mingo’s de-facto slugger Amy Russell hit a no-doubt blast over the fence in center field for a 3-0 lead.

“After the first inning on that three-run homer, seemed like it perhaps ignited them and deflated us a bit,” Jensen said.

Russell was well on her way to six RBIs and a threehit pitching performance that gave the Tiger Hawks their first trip to state since 2001, and denied the Lady Mustangs their first such trip since 2005.

Colfax-Mingo’s number one hitter, Ries WIlson, and

its second hitter, Alivia Haley, were persistent threats, bashing seven hits and scoring six runs between the two of them.

Walks issued to the lower part of the Colfax-Mingo lineup by relief pitcher Breianna Klein aided the Tiger Hawks in adding on runs

late.

“We didn’t get pristine pitching. You’ve got to have pristine pitching. The top five in that lineup is unbelievable,” Jensen said.

TRURO – Class 2A No. 3 Interstate 35 got on the board early and never looked back in Monday’s 7-0 win over Treynor in the Class 2A Region 8 final.

The Roadrunners improved to 26-4 with the win and punched their third straight ticket to the Class 2A State Softball Tournament in Fort Dodge next week.

“It’s actually unbelievable,” said senior catcher Shai Major, who went 4-for4 in the game with a double and two runs batted in. “Our talent has improved a lot in the past year. We’ve been working really hard. We’ve been holding the rope and our batting has been unbelievable. We’ve just been going out there and being competitive.”

Interstate 35 scored one run in each of the first three innings of the game, giving senior southpaw Carlyn Stanley all the cushion she needed.

innings and that really hurt.”

Murray answered Colfax-Mingo’s three-run first with one run of its own to secure some confidence in the bottom half of the first.

Hailey Chew reached by being hit by a pitch, zoomed to second on a passed ball, moved to third on a Zadie Hatfield grounder, and scored on Klein’s hard-hit grounder to Colfax-Mingo right fielder Braedynn Rawlins, who fired into first to get the out. Chew scored, but that heads up play kept Murray hitless in the first.

while to break the seal on home plate. In the fourth, the Panthers left runners on first and second base following back-to-back strikeouts.

Creston stranded six runners in total.

“I told the guys when the pitcher is being tough on us, you gotta find a way to scratch some runs out and hang around,” said Birchard.

As for the seniors, Birchard acknowledged how important their leadership has been to the club.

“They play well on the field, but their biggest asset is their leadership,” said Birchard.

Crawford finished the night going 2-for-4 at the plate. Hulett went 0-for-1 after getting aboard on an error by the Tigers’ first baseman in the fourth inning.

Brenden McDowell got hit

a hit until the fifth inning, which it trailed 8-1 heading into, when Chew’s sharp single down the left field line scored Kendra Boles.

Murray shot itself in the foot however, when Alyssa Martin tried to go from first to third on the play, where left fielder MacKensie Brown gunned her down to get the first out of the inning. Chew was then stranded on the base paths.

Colfax-Mingo stayed on the offensive throughout the evening, and added four scores in the seventh. The Tiger Hawks scored in each inning but the second and third.

Brandi Gilbert doubled in the sixth, her final high school at-bat, but was not advanced past that point.

“They were clearly the better offensive team tonight by a mile,” Jensen said. “I just thought they attacked us better than we attacked

Murray loses seniors Maeci Baumfalk, Meghan Gould, both of whom were staples of the middle infield for the Lady Mustangs, and all-state catcher Brandi Gilbert.

“The three seniors are certainly going to be missed,” Jensen said.

“Brandi’s leadership is unbelievable, we’re just going to have to find another one between now and next year,” Jensen said. Brandi’s been doing it for two years and has done a great job.”

Murray finishes its season 28-6, the Bluegrass Conference champions, but a game short of Fort Dodge.

his first appearance at ACS since 2010. Hulett donned Ramsey’s back up car and finished the night in seventh place.

Chris Bates led the early stages of the race, but Ramsey was able to find grip on the high side to get around him. Jerid Lund attempted to reel in Ramsey and was given a break when a caution came out with four to go. However, Ramsey hit his marks on the final restart and managed to pull away for his 20th feature win, passing Jeremy Purdy for most career wins. Jerid Lund finished in second, followed by David Weeda in third, Tom Myers in fourth and Chris Bates rounded out the top five.

The O’Reilly Auto Parts Late Models might have put on the best show Saturday night. Fifteen late models hit the dirt vying for weekly points as well as points in the Gail’s Gold Rush Points Series. 21-year-old Avoca native Daulton Maasen started the race on the pole and led the early stages of the race while points leader Jason O’Brien found himself in trouble early on, spinning and bringing out the caution.

It looked as if Maasen was running the race of his life and would pick up his first ever win at Adams County Speedway. The youngster

Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING – More than 100 cars and 3,000 fans joined the Adams County Speedway Saturday to partake in KSIB Fan Appreciation Night/Hampel Memorial Night. The fans who chose to attend the free admission night got an entertaining show, as each class put on an exciting feature with a couple of them coming right down to the wire.

Many fans also purchased retro souvenirs courtesy of the Hampel Family. Fans who spent more than $5 on retro items also received a free ticket to the Adams County Speedway that can be used during the month of July.

Intermission saw the crowning of the 2017 Adams County Fair Queen.

That honor went to Kennedy Moore. Madi Ballard was named runner-up, while Kylie McBride was named second runner-up.

The feature action started with the Chat Mobility Hobby Stocks. Bedford native Luke Ramsey came into the night looking for his 20th career win, which would make him the winningest driver in class history. A familiar face returned to ACS for the first time in a long time, as former Stock Car champion Chuck Hulett made

held off repeated charges from Tad Pospisil and Corey Zeitner.

Maasen took the white flag a few car lengths ahead of Pospisil, but came into the entry of turn two a little too hot, sending his No. 8 car off the track, dashing his dreams of picking up his first ever feature win.

Maasen’s bobble opened up the door for both Pospisil and Zeitner to battle it out for the win. Zeitner found momentum on the high side coming off of four and notched his second win of the season. The win allowed Zeitner to take control of the points lead in both the weekly standings and in the Gails Gold Rush standings.

Pospisil came home in the runner-up spot. Bill Leighton Jr. came home in third, Jason O’Brien rebounded from his early race struggles to finish in fourth and Daulton Maasen was relegated to a fifth place finish.

Dustin Thompson wasn’t sure he’d be racing in the Tri-State Ford Compacts Saturday night. A vicious wreck at the I-80 Speedway Friday night left Thompson without his primary car.

Thompson’s team worked relentlessly Friday night to get a car ready for him to race. Thompson’s team’s hard work would pay off.

Richards was pursuing his first career win and looked like he might get it, but a caution came out after the No. 12 machine of Sterling Weirich went for a wild ride. Weirich was OK.

Points leader Evan Hrabik struggled, finishing 16th, surrendering his points lead to Thompson.

Josh Sink might be the points leader in the Stalker Chevrolet B-Modifieds if not for a blown motor earlier in the season. The Red Oak native came into Saturday night with one win and 49 points behind current leader Jerod Weston.

He chipped into that lead Saturday by picking up his second win.

Sink started in the second row, behind last week’s runner-up Cody Werner, but Sink wasted no time getting around Werner and checking out. Sink appeared

to have the race in the bag multiple times. It took three green-white checkered restarts before the race would finally go clean to the finish, meaning that Sink had to hold off a handful of late charges from contenders Jerod Weston and David Schwartz, but it was Sink taking the checkers when the dust settled. Werner came home with his second straight runner-up finish, followed by David Schwartz in third, Jerod Weston in fourth and Daniel Baudler picked up his first ever top five finish.

Tony Hardisty has been plagued by bad luck in the Northland Oil Stock Cars in the past few weeks. That changed Saturday night as the wily veteran picked up his second win of the season.

Hardisty started on the front row alongside Clay Mercer, but wasted no time jumping out to the lead.

Hardisty, however, would have to hold off several charges from contenders such as Buck Schafroth, Brad Derry and Cody Clark.

Clark, who came into Saturday night still looking for his first ever win looked as if he might have the fastest car in the closing laps. Clark tried relentlessly to lure in Hardisty and made one last shot at the win on the final lap but couldn’t make his desperation move stick, al-

lowing Hardisty to pick up the win. Brad Derry managed to nudge Clark at the line for second, Buck Schafroth finished in fourth and Clay Mercer rounded out the top five.

“The Candy Man” Jeff Wiggins had not seen victory lane since July 11, 2015.

The Greenfield native had battled inconsistency and motor issues all season, but he changed that Saturday night, picking up his first win in almost two years.

Wiggins started on the pole alongside T.J. Patterson and wasted no time jumping out to the lead.

Lurking behind “The Candy Man” were last week’s winner Ryan Jenkins and former track champion Jesse Dennis. Jenkins repeatedly showed Wiggins his nose, but Wiggins maintained his preferred line, never bobbled and picked up the win.

Jenkins came home with a runner-up finish, followed

by Jesse Dennis in third, Jeff James in fourth and Jacob Hobscheidt in fifth.

This week at Adams County Speedway features Tri-State Ford Compact night for the first ever Compact King of the Hills. It will also be pink-out night. Any ladies wearing pink will get a special on drinks.

four hits in the victory.

The Roadrunners used small ball in the first two innings, as Lilly Miller led off with a walk and stole second base before moving to third base and scoring on an RBI groundout by Kate Stanley.

Major led off the second with a single and courtesy runner Gracie McCuddin moved to second base on a Riley Morris sacrifice bunt, eventually scoring on a passed ball for a 2-0 lead.

Carlyn Stanley gave the Roadrunners the 3-0 lead with a laser of a solo home run to left center field in the third inning.

“I knew their pitcher (Sydni Huisman) was pretty good, so I didn’t think we would score a bunch in an inning, so we bunted a little more,” Interstate 35 head coach Tim Bogs said. “We bunted our No. 4 girl (Josie Wickett), bunted our No. 7 girl (Riley Morris) who has four or five home runs.

All voted aye.

Motion carried.

During Public Forum, Jessica Rotert spoke on behalf of her grandmother regarding a mowing nuisance charge she received for property she owns located at 411 N. Pine. Ms. Rotert is in charge of seeing that the property is kept mowed, but wants to know what needs to be done to avoid having this happen in the future.

Mayor and Council advised her to have the person that mows it, keep a check on it and mow it more frequently.

Melvin Scadden, 411 N. Vine, expressed his concern of how much the City is going to charge the property owner to remove a dangerous building located at 506 N. Birch, as he believes the owner is on a fixed income. He commented that if he knew she needed it torn down, he would've done it for her, and the City has enough streets to be working on instead of tearing down sheds.

4-H Communications Day 2017 a success Union County 4-H hosted their annual communications event June 25 at Southwestern Community College. Communications Day is an event where 4-H’ers have the opportunity to give a presentation, perform a skit or talent, demonstrate how to make a craft, design a visual poster or practice their radio broadcasting skills.

Sixteen 4-H’ers from six different 4-H clubs participated in 14 different events. These events were done either individually or in groups depending on the category. Two judges were present to evaluate each category and the participants, as well as provide comments and feedback to the 4-H’ers.

The judges then made their selections of seven different events to represent Union County at the Iowa State Fair in August.

Selected were Riley Long, Emmet Long and Peyton Long in educational presentations. In working exhibits,

Allivea Skarda and Chloe Larson were selected and in share the fun, it was Clarissa Hoffman, Riley Beard and Sarah King.

Blue ribbon award winners included Jacob Driskell in educational presentations; Keegan Bailey and Kolbey Bailey in working exhibits; Cassondra Hoffman in radio broadcasting; Riley Long, Emmet Long,

Peyton Long, Jackilyn Campbell-Mills, Hunter Swanson and Averi Bunkofske in share the fun and Molly Gennaro in poster communications.

“It is exciting to watch those young 4-H’ers get up there and show us what they have been working on. Building your communication skills is a valuable asset in life and I feel it is

important to bring that out in the 4-H program,” said Haley Jones, Union County youth and outreach coordinator.

All 4-H’ers who participated in the Communications Day event have the opportunity to perform and present their efforts again 6 p.m. Friday, July 21, during the Union County Fair in the Commercial Building.

under the command of the 4th Marine Air Wing, which is part of the Marine Forces Reserve headquartered in New Orleans.

In a Tuesday morning tweet, President Donald Trump offered condolences.

“Marine Plane crash in Mississippi is heartbreaking. Melania and I send our deepest condolences to all!”

Trump wrote.

Andy Jones said he was working on his family’s catfish farm just before 4 p.m. when he heard a boom and looked up to see the plane corkscrewing downward with one engine smoking.

“You looked up and you saw the plane twirling around,” he said. “It was spinning down.”

Jones said the plane hit the ground behind trees in the soybean field, and by the time he and other reached the crash site, fires were burning too intensely to approach the wreckage. The force of the crash nearly flattened the plane, Jones said.

ITTA BENA, Miss. (AP) — A U.S. military plane used for refueling crashed into a soybean field in rural Mississippi, killing at least 16 people aboard in a fiery wreck and spreading debris for miles, officials said.

Leflore County Emergency Management Agency Director Frank Randle told reporters at a briefing late Monday that 16 bodies had been recovered after the KC-130 spiraled into the ground about 85 miles (135 kilometers) north of Jackson in the Mississippi Delta. A witness said some bodies were found more than a mile from the crash site.

Marine Corps spokeswoman Capt. Sarah Burns said in a statement that a KC130 “experienced a mishap” Monday evening but provided no details. The KC-130 is used as a refueling tanker.

Though the KC-130 refueling tanker took off from Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in North Carolina, Marine Capt. John Roberts said the plane was
