2 RAGBRAI riders struck by car SIOUX CITY (AP) — Authorities say two people participating in an annual bike ride across Iowa were struck and injured by an intoxicated driver.

According to police, Bruce and Barbara Blair of Hudson, Wisconsin, were riding a tan-

dem bike early Sunday morning as part of The Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa — or RAGBRAI— when they were struck by 36-year-old Charryse Chavez of Sioux City.

Police say Chavez ignored an officer controlling traffic at an

intersection and drove through.

Sioux City Police Sgt. Jim Cunningham said Chavez was arrested about a block away. The victims were transported to a hospital, where Bruce Blair remains in stable condition.

Barbara Blair was treated and

released.

Chavez has been charged with a second offense of operating while intoxicated, failure to obey a police officer and having no insurance.

It was unclear if she has an attorney.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. John McCain said Monday Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump doesn’t need to apologize to him for remarks about his captivity in Vietnam, but should tell veterans and their families that he’s sorry.

Appearing in a nationally broadcast interview, the Arizona Republican said, “When Mr. Trump says he prefers to be with people who are not captured, the great honor of my life was to be in the company of heroes.” But the occasionally fiery McCain had a calm demeanor, saying simply: “I am not a hero.”

At another point in his interview on MSNBC’s Trump “Morning Joe,” he said, “I’m in the (political) arena,” suggesting he’s fair game for criticism as a U.S. senator.

In an opinion piece published Monday in USA Today, Trump said McCain had abandoned McCain the nation’s veterans and made America less secure through his votes in Congress. The real estate executive also lashed out at fellow GOP presidential aspirants who have criticized his remarks, calling them “failed politicians.” Trump said he did not need “to be lectured by any of them.”

“The reality is that John McCain the politician has made America less safe, sent our brave soldiers into wrong-headed foreign adventures, covered up for President (Barack) Obama with the VA scandal and has spent most of his time in the Senate pushing amnesty,” Trump wrote. “He would rather protect the Iraqi border than Arizona’s.”

The op-ed comes as Trump is on the defensive for dismissing McCain’s reputation as a war hero because McCain was captured in Vietnam and, “I like people who weren’t captured.”

In a contentious appearance on the NBC’s “Today” Show Monday, Trump took issue with the media’s reporting on his comments about McCain’s war record, made at a conservative forum in Iowa. He insisted in a telephone interview with anchor Matt Lauer that he had said “four times” that he respected those captured in war.

In his appearance, McCain said he believed it was “totally inappropriate for Mr. Trump to say he doesn’t like to be with people who are captured.”

“I think the point here is that there are so many men and women who served and sacrificed — and happened to be held prisoner — and to denigrate in any way that service, I think, is offensive to veterans.”

“The best thing to do is put it behind us and move forward,” McCain said Earlier, GOP White House hopefuls shed their cautious approach to Trump’s remarks in apparent efforts to calm the intraparty storm.

Trump has refused to apologize for disparaging comments he made about McCain’s military service. He’s also sought to use the furor over his remarks to remind supporters, especially those frustrated with Washington, that he’s not a typical politician.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve, To dry before the sun. Of happy memories that I leave When my life is done

Iowa DNR to host quail field day MOUNT AYR — The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will host a quail field day 4 p.m., Aug. 7 at the Ringgold Wildlife Management Area (WMA).

The field day will involve a tour around the Ringgold WMA that will begin at the entrance to the fishing ponds on 280th Aveenue. From Mount Ayr, take Highway 2 east to P64. Take P64 south 8 miles to 310th Street. Go 1 mile west on 310th and then go north to the pond entrance on 280th Avenue.

Since 2009, the Grand River Wildlife Unit has been aggressively managing for quail using early successional disking and spraying to promote quality quail habitat. This aggressive habitat work has resulted in a 900 percent increase in quail numbers from 2009 to the present. While statewide quail numbers have also risen in the last few years, the percentage hasn’t been nearly as impressive when compared to managed quail habitat.

“Bobwhite are a boom or bust species. During bust years the population hangs on almost unnoticed waiting for the right conditions.

Once those conditions occur they have tremendous reproductive capacity and can respond very quickly,” said Biologist Chad Paup. “Even when quail numbers are good it is important to maintain quality habitat. This can soften the blow during bust years and lead to very strong numbers during boom

“Bobwhite are a boom or bust species.”

years.”

This tour will consist of a trailer ride with several stops to look at the responses of various management practices. There will be discussion on the habitat needs of bobwhite quail. Private lands staff will be on hand to discuss programs available to help with habitat work. The Ringgold County Pheasants Forever Chapter will be providing refreshments.

For more information, call the Grand River Wildlife Unit at 641-783-2166.

Greek banks reopen, but cash limits remain ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek banks opened their doors Monday for the first time in over three weeks, a move the government hopes will help the economy get back to normal following a period dominated by fears over the country’s future in the euro.

Strict controls on the amounts individuals can withdraw remain, however, and new austerity taxes demanded by the country’s European creditors came into effect, making most everyday items more expensive — from coffee to taxis.

The hefty sales tax rise on many basic goods from 13 percent to 23 percent formed part of a package of confidence-building measures the Greek government had to introduce for negotiations on a third bailout to begin. For an economy reeling from weeks of uncertainty and capital controls, the higher taxes are expected to accentuate the recession.

Dimitris Chronis, who has been running a small kebab shop in central Athens for 20 years, says the new taxes could push his business over the edge especially when combined with higher business taxes and meat prices.

“I can’t put up my prices because I’ll have no customers at all,” said Chronis, who said sales have slid by around 80 percent since banking re-

strictions were imposed June 29. “We used to deliver to offices nearby but most of them have closed. People would order a lot and buy food for their colleagues on special occasions. That era is over.”

There are few parts of the Greek economy left untouched by the higher sales taxes. They have been imposed on many basic goods — including some meats, cooking oils, tea and condoms. Popular services have also been hit by the new taxes such as restaurants and cafes, funeral homes, ferries and language schools.

The higher taxes formed a key plank of last week’s bailout agreement between Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and European creditors. Following months of growing distrust, Greece’s partners in the 19-country eurozone wanted to see measures enacted before bailout talks could begin. Other austerity measures included cuts to pensions.

The green light to the opening of discussions, which are expected to last around a month, was given Friday. They will include economic targets and reforms deemed necessary in return for an anticipated 85 billion euros ($93 billion) over three years.

Though the potential bailout has eased fears of a

potential Greek exit from the euro, capital controls of some sort are expected to remain in place for months if not years. The controls were introduced because negotiations with creditors had reached an impasse, fueling fears of a Greek exit from the euro and a bank run.

On Monday, the first easing saw banks reopen their doors for limited services.

In downtown Athens, people queued up in an orderly fashion.

Though the daily cash withdrawal limit stayed at 60 euros ($65), the government has given individuals a new weekly limit of 420 euros from this coming Sunday so they don’t need to trudge to the ATM every day.

Since the Greek parliament passed the austerity measures demanded, creditors have relieved the pressure on Greece.

The European Central Bank raised the amount of liquidity assistance on offer to Greek banks while the European Union sent a threemonth loan to Athens so it could pay a 4.2 billion-euro debt due to the ECB on Monday and clear arrears with the International Monetary Fund.

“We are meeting our obligations today,” a Greek government official said on condition of anonymity ahead of an official announcement.

Further relief may come if lawmakers back another set of creditor-demanded measures on Wednesday.

Paying off the IMF and ECB will give Greece some breathing space but the country will need bailout funds to meet upcoming debts. Some of the bailout money will also go to restoring the financial health of the banks, which would help speed up the removal of the controls.

The agreement to open up bailout discussions has not gone down well in large parts of Tsipras’ radical left Syriza party, which was elected in January on a promise to end austerity. Cabinet-level dissenters were replaced Friday, but even their replacements have angrily denounced the new austerity measures.

“The government was obliged to make a tactical retreat to save the country,” new Labor Minister Giorgos Katrougalos said Monday. “This was the result of a soft, post-modern financial coup that was handled by the prime minister in a responsible way.”

Getting the Greek economy back to normal will take time though especially as credit — the lifeblood of a modern economy — remains restricted.

Bookmobile helps keep kids learning during summer BURLINGTON (AP) — At Lennox Park it was gray and damp except for the Burlington Public Library’s bookmobile, whose eccentric decal provide a splash of color to the landscape.

Songs by bands such as One Direction and Selena Gomez resonated from the truck’s speakers as Burlington School District librarian Donna Carlson lowered the

entrance to the truck, The Hawk Eye reported.

Carlson has been driving the bookmobile through neighborhoods in Burlington and West Burlington each Wednesday for the past month. Her goal is to bring books into neighborhoods where children have difficulty getting to the library themselves.

“That summer slide is

what we’re trying to prevent,” Carlson said.

Schools must plan time into their first quarter curriculum to review skills taught during the previous school year, but lost during the summer months

Show You Care — Don’t Tear!

Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about magazines in waiting rooms: “One of my greatest aggravations is, while browsing through a magazine in a waiting room, turning to a recipe or article, only to find it missing. I have never had a staff member refuse to make a copy of the desired information for me. Everyone wins when taking home info by this method.” — R.W. in Center Point, Texas It would be nice if others were courteous about NOT tearing out pages from magazines like that! Your hint asking the staff to make a copy probably is not a problem. Depending on how busy they are and the office policy, most will help. Or, note the magazine and recipe name, then when you get to a computer, look it up on the magazine’s website. Most are posted. — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Other uses for paper coffee filters: * Absorb grease when cooking bacon. * Hold a crispy taco to prevent a mess * Strain liquid out of a bot-

Combined runners left on base by the Cardinals and Mets in Sunday’s 18-inning game.

National Digest

Marathon game ST. LOUIS — Ruben Tejada hit a sacrifice fly in the 18th inning, and the New York Mets outlasted the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 on Sunday despite stranding a franchise-record-tying 25 baserunners.

The Mets went 1-for26 with runners in scoring position yet still won the majors’ second-longest game this season.

The Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees in 19 innings in April.

It took 5 hours, 55 minutes for the Mets to top the National League Central-leading Cardinals and avoid a three-game sweep.

The Mets and Cardinals had already played one marathon game in 2015. New York beat St. Louis 2-1 on May 18 in 14 innings. Sunday’s contest was the third-longest game ever between the teams.

The game was scoreless until both teams got a run in the 13th.

Carlos Torres (3-4), the seventh Mets pitcher, was the winner.

Carlos Martinez (10-4) was pressed into relief and was the Cardinals’ eighth pitcher. He allowed five hits and four walks in four innings.

The Mets got 16 hits and drew 13 walks. Kevin Plawecki hit an RBI single for their lone run until the 18th.

The Cardinals got 13 hits, including Kolten Wong’s leadoff homer in the 13th inning, and five walks. St. Louis went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position.

New York loaded the bases in the 18th on singles by Wilmer Flores and Curtis Granderson followed by a sacrifice from Plawecki that Martinez didn’t cleanly handle. Tejada followed with a deep fly, and Campbell bunted home another run.

Mets starter Jonathon Niese gave up five hits in 7 2/3 innings.

Cardinals rookie Tim Cooney pitched three-hit ball for 5 2/3 innings.

Errors open door for Panther district victory Creston at No. 7 Harlan tonight

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

HARLAN — An opportunistic offense and the steady pitching of Chase Shiltz carried the Creston baseball team to a 9-1 victory over Glenwood Friday in a Class 3A District 15 semifinal game.

Creston (14-15) meets seventh-ranked Harlan (24-7) at 7 p.m. today at Jim Goeser Field here for the district championship. The winner plays Atlantic or Carroll in the substate game Wednesday at Harlan.

In District 16 Friday night, Carroll topped Denison-Schleswig 9-6 and Atlantic got past Greene County, 5-3. Those winners meet tonight in Carroll.

On Friday, Shiltz (3-5) outdueled Glenwood senior ace Wyatt Schulz in sweltering 91-degree heat, with a 108 heat index and 15 mph wind blowing out to left field.

Shiltz lasted through a 120-pitch outing, stranding 11 Ram baserunners while f i n i s h i n g Shiltz with eight strikeouts and five walks.

Unearned runs Schulz was the hard-luck pitcher of the day, yielding only three earned runs as the Rams committed four errors. Plus, four Panther runs

scored after dropped third strikes allowed baserunners on strikeouts that would have ended the inning.

“Chase has thrown the tough games for us and hasn’t always gotten the hitting support that he got today,” Creston coach Steve Birchard said. “Good things happen when you play defense and your pitcher is up there getting after it and throwing strikes. (Glenwood) had a little trouble playing some defense a few times and we put up a couple of four-spots.”

Shiltz left the bases loaded in the seventh by getting his eighth strikeout and a popup to second baseman Brenden McDowell. His only blemish on the scoreboard was Dru Little’s fourth home run of

the season, a towering shot to center field in the third inning with nobody on base.

“Our defense did a nice job tonight,” Shiltz said. “I kind of like pitching in the heat more than I do when it’s cold out. It keeps my arm warm. You’re always loose.

Today the (offensive) support was awesome.”

The game was a pitchers’ duel until the third inning, when the Panthers scored four runs on three hits and an error.

“Early on we were flailing at some curveballs,” Birchard said. “We just kind of focused in on the fact he was having trouble throwing some of the off-speed stuff for strikes. We did get fortunate in that a couple of times we swung at those balls in

“I don’t think he was overpowering,” Nodaway Valley head coach Dan Jameson said. “His offspeed stuff was keeping us off balance. Just couldn’t get good contact on him. We didn’t put enough pressure on the defense with ground balls. A lot of our hits were in the air, a little bit easier to take care of than ground ball hits.”

Shark attack Three-time world surfing champion Mick Fanning was attacked by a shark Sunday during a competition off the coast of South Africa but escaped unharmed.

The World Surf League canceled the J-Bay Open shortly after the attack, saying in a statement that “the safety of our athletes is a priority.”

Fanning, who battled the shark for a few seconds before it swam away, was visibly shaken after being rescued by crews on jetskis and boats.

“I just can’t believe it,” said Fanning, who was nearly overcome with emotion on multiple instances during his interview with the World Surf League’s official website.

“I’m just tripping. ... To walk away from that, I’m just so stoked.”

Fanning, 34, was in the water in Jeffreys Bay — off South Africa’s eastern cape — waiting for his turn to compete when the shark attacked him.

“All of the sudden, I just had this instinct that something was behind me,” the Australian said.

strikes or an infield out.

“It seemed like we were always in scoring position,” Stoaks said. “We couldn’t get the bunt down, or we’d have scored. We were on a little bit of a roll against Hoyka there.”

Durable hurler Martensdale-St. Marys coach Jon Fitzpatrick saw his team manage only four hits against Tiger lefthander Caleb Lange, who had pitched the limit of 16 innings in a week by the end of the sixth inning Saturday.

Showing few signs of fatigue, Lange allowed only one earned run while fanning four, walking just one and hitting two batters on a warm, muggy evening.

“For Lange to be throwing that well in his 16th inning of the week is pretty impressive,” Fitzpatrick said. “We had a couple of timely hits. I told our pitchers, way to bend but not break. They are a scrappy team, and I knew they were going to be able to put the ball in play.”

Foster, who experienced some UCL elbow problems early in the season, has only been used in relief roles during the postseason. Hoyka, who came in 5-1 with a 1.54 ERA, was pulled in the third inning after Jared Hensley reached on an error and Colton Hogan hit the first Hogan of his two singles in the game.

With the most dangerous Tiger hitters coming up with no outs, Fitzpatrick called on Foster.

“We knew that we were going to have Tanner in relief,” Fitzpatrick said. “It’s postseason, and you’re on a short leash, period. They

have runners on second and third, no outs. I’d seen enough. Tanner mixed things up quite well tonight.”

There was no hook planned for Lange, however, despite pitching five innings Tuesday against East Union and 4 2/3 innings of relief in Thursday’s victory over Bedford.

“He had the look in his eye, he wanted the ball,” Stoaks said. “He pitched 15 2/3 innings this week and you couldn’t tell it. He was tough tonight.”

Opportunities The first real scoring threat in the game was in the Lenox second, when Lange stroked an opposite field single and Dawson Tullberg singled to right field. Kaleb Anderson drew a one-out walk to load the bases. Then Hoyka fanned the eighth and ninth batters in the young Tiger lineup.

Noah Catron hit a leadoff single for Martensdale-St. Marys in the bottom of the second and got to third place with two outs. Bret Barnett, the eighth batter in the Blue Devil lineup, delivered an RBI single over Hensley at shortstop for a 1-0 lead.

With runners on second and third in the Lenox third, Foster came in and issued Lange an intentional walk after striking out Dusten Reed. He then featured his fastball in finishing the inning with two more strikeouts as the Tigers already had six runners left on base after three innings.

The Blue Devils added an insurance run in the fourth as Brendan Langloss had an infield hit, advanced on a sacrifice bunt and scored from second as Connor Olson’s grounder got through on an error.

Two more Tigers were left on base in the sixth after Tullberg laced a single into left field and Brenden Christensen drew a walk.

A strikeout, popup to Foster and weak comebacker to Foster ended the threat.

Yet again in the seventh, Lenox was one hit away from tying the game with runners on second and third as Hogan stroked a one-out single and, after Foster got Reed on strikes, Lange’s soft liner escaped the leaping attempt of Foster at the mound. A double steal put both Hogan and Lange into scoring position.

Tullberg popped up Foster’s two-strike curveball and shortstop Trevor Dooley caught it to end the Lenox season at 18-9.

Two seniors Reed, the Tigers’ center fielder who will wrestle at Wartburg next year, and Lange, planning to study agricultural business at Iowa State, are the only two seniors lost from this young squad.

Reed hit .355 for the season and scored 34 runs with 14 steals in 15 attempts.

He was 2-1 on the Reed mound.

Lange was 9-2 with 95 strikeouts in 82 innings and a 1.53 ERA. Opponents hit only .152 against him. He overcame a slow start at the plate to hit .325 with a team-high 23 RBI. He drew 20 walks.

“Early in the year when we lost Spencer Brown to a knee injury, I think Caleb thought he had to carry us and he was playing with an edge,” Stoaks said. “He really looked different later in the season and played like we knew he could.”

PANTHERS: Continued from page 5A

fly that knocked in Brody Frain.

Creston broke the game open in the sixth. Merritt, who finished with three hits, opened with a double and advanced on a wild pitch. He scored when Gavin Woods’ ground ball was booted at second.

Pals sent Woods to third with a single and moved to second on the throw into the infield. After an out at home on a grounder, Shiltz reached on another dropped third strike, setting up Driskell for a big two-run single down the right field line.

Pals, Driskell and Merritt all had multiple hits in the Panther 10-hit attack.

Pals and McDowell each scored twice.

The Creston defense had several key plays in leaving Ram baserunners stranded. The most spectacular occurred when Loeffelbein laced a liner to right in the

fifth with Wilwerding already on first with a single.

Panther first baseman Kadon Hulett, facing the setting sun, reached out and snared the liner, then stepped on first base to double up Wilwerding.

Suddenly, instead of a Ram rally underway with no outs, there were two down and Shiltz finished the inning with a strikeout.

“I lost the ball (in the s u n ) right as it hit the glove,” Hulett said, smiling. “I saw it coming, and then I Hulett just lost it as I caught it.”

“That double play was big there when they were getting started,” Birchard said. “Jaden stepped up and threw out a guy when they thought they could run on him. And Craw-

ford ran a ball down in the right-center gap there.”

Driskell said Shiltz was moving the ball around the strike zone and getting Ram batters retired mostly with sharp-moving fastballs, mixed in with some breaking pitches later in the game.

“His fastball tonight had a really nice tail on it, it was going in on righties and they were struggling to catch up with it,” Driskell said. “In about the fourth inning we started going to his curveball a lot more, to get them thinking. He was throwing that well too, keeping it low. The home run was a good pitch, he (Little) just put a good swing on it.”

Tonight’s matchup Now comes the tough assignment of taking on the seventh-ranked Cyclones, who took two victories from the Panthers, 5-1 and 8-1, on June 4. Friday night, Brett Croghan and reliever Josh Creek com-

bined for a two-hit shutout as Harlan bounced ADM, 7-0. The Cyclones are seeking their fifth straight state tournament appearance.

“If we play our game and get our pitching, then I think we’re OK,” Birchard said, “as long as we can scratch together enough hits to score some runs.”

Pals, the lone upperclassman on the Creston team, said “anything is possible” after Friday’s victory.

“This means everything,” the senior shortstop said. “It’s what you dream about. When I was growing up, watching my brothers, that’s all I ever wanted to do was win that first district game, and then the second, and the third one and play in Des Moines. We definitely came ready to play today.

We have to do that again (Monday).”

Bad weather, bad golf: Tiger Woods misses another major cut

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Tiger Woods at least enjoyed that familiar walk over the Swilcan Bridge and up the 18th fairway Saturday at St. Andrews, the gray old town in the background and a crowd six deep lining the road and watching from windows.

Not so familiar was his score.

He hasn’t had 7-over par next to his name at St. Andrews since he was a 19-year-old amateur, and that was the final round.

This was only the second round, and he was headed home early for the third

time in the last four majors.

“It’s one of the things I was talking about with Jason (Day). We were coming up 18, I said, ‘It’s the greatest walk in golf,’” Woods said after a 75 to finish two miserable days at 151, his worst 36-hole score in the British Open.

“He said, ‘Yeah, it’s nice when you have an eightshot lead, too,” Woods added with a smile.

Woods won by eight shots in 2000 to complete the career Grand Slam. He won by five shots in 2005 to establish anew his dominance in the game.

Those days seem so long ago.

The former No. 1 player in the world and 14-time

major champion looked tired, beaten and stressed as he made his way around one of his favorite courses.

He had only three birdies over 36 holes and said he has no idea why his shots didn’t penetrate in the wind and why he couldn’t get it close enough to the hole.

“The golf course wasn’t playing that hard,” Woods said. “I just didn’t get much out of any of the two rounds.”

That’s been the story all year. For the first time, he missed the cut in the U.S. Open and the British Open in the same season, and neither was close. In those two championships he has won a combined six times,

With your annual Creston News Advertiser subscription:

Woods beat only four players at Chambers Bay and seven players at St. Andrews.

And so the mystery continues.

Woods will fall out of the top 250 when the next world ranking is published after starting the year at No. 32. He already has had three rounds in the 80s this year after having just one for his entire career. He had hope coming off The Greenbrier, where he tied for 32nd and was six shots behind.

He looked lost on the Old Course.

“I felt like I was playing

well enough to win this event,” Woods said.

He arrived on Saturday to do a junior clinic for Nike — Woods typically is all about preparations at the majors — and then after practice rounds on Sunday and Monday, he didn’t play another practice round on the Old Course until the championship started.

Woods said he knew the course, practiced in both wind directions and wanted to conserve energy for what usually is a long week.

Except for the weather — rain on Friday, wind on Saturday — that made the second round take 24

hours to complete, this was a short week.

Woods plays in two weeks at his Quicken Loans National, and then he most likely closes his 2014-15 season at the PGA Championship. He said he still had designs on winning his tournament to become eligible for the Bridgestone Invitational.

He won’t see St. Andrews again until the British Open returns, likely in 2021.

“I’ll probably have less hair then,” Woods said, “and hopefully a little better game.”

Beau Weinheimer.

Weinheimer lasted only the first inning, giving up five runs on five hits, before giving way to senior Casey Ladd.

“We came out and started Beau. Knew they’d had some not so great games against lefties,” Jameson said. “We tried Beau right away and they hit him pretty good. Probably should have made a move sooner, but Beau did what we asked of him. But they hit the ball and we didn’t make good enough plays behind him.”

Nodaway Valley overcame a 5-0 deficit Thursday against Earlham, but it was too big of a hole for the Wolverines to climb out of Saturday.

“They were down a little bit, but I tried to tell them we’ve been here before,” Jameson said about the 5-0 deficit. “Just didn’t have the energy we had the other night.”

Joe Herr, Lamb, Ladd and

Weinheimer each finished with one hit in the game.

Lamb also drew a walk.

Nodaway Valley finished the season with a record of 14-13, while Van Meter improved to 26-9 and advanced to Tuesday’s Class 1A Substate 7 final against Martensdale-St. Marys.

Saturday’s loss marked the final game in a Wolverine uniform for five Nodaway Valley seniors. Seniors on the team were Ladd, Nathan Andrews, Colton Garside, Jacob Baudler and Zach Eblen.

“They fought pretty hard down the stretch,” Jameson said. “Zach had a really solid postseason. Jacob played solid field for us. Colton down at first base has been a good receiver all year. Nate battled at the plate for us and made some nice plays out in the field, too. Casey battled well at the plate this year, too. Those five seniors gave us a lot of memories down the stretch there.

They’ll be missed.”

Mason Mitchell wins ARCA Racing Series event in Iowa NEWTON (AP) — Mason Mitchell won the ARCA Racing Series event Friday night on his home track, passing Kyle Weatherman in a one-lap overtime sprint to the finish at Iowa Speedway.

Mitchell, from West Des Moines, took the lead on the inside in his own Mason Mitchell Motorsports Chevrolet and held on for first victory of the season and second in the stock-car series.

Minutes earlier in a twolap green-white-checker attempt on the 0.875-mile track, Weatherman got a jump on the outside in his Cunningham Motorsports entry and appeared to be headed to victory until another caution forced the final one-lap shootout.

“This is unbelievable,” Mitchell said. “This was the whole reason we came to this race. These guys worked too hard to come home second. I didn’t care how much

damage this car had, I wanted that checkered flag.”

Mitchell, the defending series champion, also won last year at Chicagoland Speedway.

The 17-year-old Weatherman, from Wentzville, Missouri, finished second. He raced to his first series victory in May on the road course in Millville, New Jersey.

Tom Hessert was third, and Austin Cindric fourth — both driving for Cunningham Motorsports.

“It was a fun race,” Weatherman said. “Congratulations to him. They obviously knew Cunningham Motorsports was here. It’s unfortunate one of us didn’t take the trophy home.”

Matt Tifft was fifth, followed by Austin Wayne Self, Blake Jones, points leader Grant Enfinger, Todd Gilliland and David Levine.

There were nine extra laps in the race scheduled for 150 laps. There were nine cautions for 56 laps.

Searching for grandfather clocks made by Arnold Nesheim My grandfather, Arnold Nesheim, lived on Mills St. in Creston after he retired from 1963 until he died in October of 1978. As a hobby, he built furniture for family and friends. One of the most important things he did was to build Grandfather clocks. He had 10 grandchildren. All but one grandchild has a grandfather clock, and we are currently searching for one to get for her.

My grandfather told my mother that he built clocks for some friends in Creston as well. So we are hoping to find someone in Creston that Grandad made a clock for who would be willing to sell it to our family. Of course, Grandad’s friend would be deceased by now, so hopefully a family member would remember that the grandfather clock was made for their father, or grandfather by Arnold Nesheim.

If you have any information, please contact me, Dianne Park, 801-278-3722 or 801-755-3131. Thank you!

bird flu have many questions DES MOINES (AP) — Poultry farmers who lost millions of chickens and turkeys to the bird flu this spring are facing an uncertain future.

The Des Moines Register reports the farmers aren’t sure when federal officials will allow them to start rebuilding their flocks or whether enough birds will be available.

Dave Rettig, president of Rembrandt Foods in Spirit Lake, Iowa, which lost 8 million egg-laying hens, said the disease struck quickly and it could return in the fall when birds are migrating.

“It came in like a tsunami and decimated the industry,” he said. “And experts expect this virus to come back in the fall. Who knows where it will go? But it could impact the entire country.”

Health officials have killed roughly 42 million egg-laying chickens and 7.5 million turkeys nationwide.

Most of the birds killed have been in Iowa and Minnesota, but the disease has been confirmed in 15 states, including Nebraska.

Rettig said it will take at least a year or two for the industry to rebuild flocks, and he’s not sure when his business will be allowed to

resume. Rembrandt Foods laid off 200 workers this spring.

“We can’t bring 40 million birds back overnight.

The capacity just isn’t there,” Rettig said.

Iowa Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey said he expects the U.S. Department of A g r i culture to begin clearing the first Northey few poultry firms to resume operations soon.

The Iowa Poultry Association says that if chickens return to farms before the end of the year, they could begin laying eggs early next year.

Demand for chickens was strong even before the bird flu hit, said Tom Jorgensen, general counsel at Hy-Line International.

“Demand for product is high, and product availability is low,” he said.

Hy-Line expects demand for both chicks and breeding stock will surge quickly after farms are allowed to restart. Hy-Line ships about 100 million chicks annually.
