Quiet Zone: Engineering firm to pay up to half

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

Engineers from Veenstra & Kimm faced the Creston City Council firing squad Tuesday evening.

The firm designed the safety improvement project in uptown Creston that included medians constructed on Elm Street and New York Avenue. The city’s goal for this safety project was to meet Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) standards so the city could

A QUIET ZONE is a system — where strict safety standards are met — so that train conductors don’t have to sound their whistle upon entering a city or traveling over a railroad crossing. It doesn’t mean engineers won’t sound their whistle. It just means engineers will only sound it if they have to or in emergency situations. apply to be a quiet zone.

The problem? Medians weren’t constructed close enough to the tracks. This problem must be resolved before the city can apply to become a quiet zone. The medians need extended anywhere from 10 inches to four feet depending on location.

“Who is paying for these to be extended?” Marsha Wilson, ward 4 city councilwoman, asked the engineers.

Greg Roth with Veenstra & Kimm told the council their firm will pay up to half of the total for this additional project.

The high-end cost for the medi-

an extensions is $14,000. However, Kevin Kruse — public works director in Creston — said the FRA would allow an 18-inch wide median be Kruse used to get the distance needed. Using the 18-inch wide median would cut the cost to $7,000.

Dr. Gabe Carroll, ward 3 councilman, asked engineers if the company would pay for that $7,000

since Kruse did the legwork in finding a way to cut costs.

“Obviously, we would prefer to split costs,” Roth said.

Carroll told Roth he would have preferred the job be done right the first time.

Roth said the reason the medians weren’t close enough to the tracks was because the stop-arm gates do not come down “square.”

The gates are skewed toward the tracks. Roth said his firm will be Please see QUIET ZONE, Page 2

Bus barn project to cost nearly $1.5 million

Noah Wernli, 3, of Creston throws out a line during the fishing contest last year during the McKinley Park Festival in Creston.

The High Lakes Alliance will hand out prizes for the highest number of fish caught and the largest fish.

Last year, more than 50 kids fished, according to Paulsen.

“We always get a lot of compliments on the fishing contest,” he said. “It’s a great way for families to spend time together outdoors.”

More than three years after an EF2 tornado destroyed the Creston Schools bus barn, the new structure is now within weeks of completion.

The total cost for the bus barn project will be just under $1.5 million, according to numbers released Monday at Creston’s School Board meeting by Billie Jo Greene, Creston Schools business manager.

The project, Greene said, has cost $1,453,573.26 to date. EMC Insurance has covered $681,372.66 of the total, and Creston will cover the rest with Secure an Advanced Vision for Education (SAVE) funds.

Greene said the SAVE funds come from the penny sales tax and have been earmarked for the bus barn project.

Construction on the barn began June 2014. Greene said the school was able to keep costs down by using in-house maintenance staff, led by Gary Briley, to do some of the labor on the building during their regularly scheduled work hours.

Steve McDermott, Creston Schools superintendent, chuckled as he said to the board Monday that he has been saying the project is “very close” for a while.

This time, he said, the project is down to final touches.

“How many times have you been hearing me say very close? I hate to say it again,” he said. “The offices, the counters are in. The countertops are in. The

McKinley Park Festival returns Saturday with free fishing

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA staff reporter

khaugen@crestonnews.com

The 11th annual McKinley Park Festival, featuring free family-friendly events, will be held Saturday.

Some of the kids’ activities from previous years will be back, including fishing, the Bill Riley Talent Competition and a skateboard competition. New this year will be music performed by students of Dustin Baird’s Sumner Lesson Studios fol-

lowing the talent competition.

“We’re trying to get people out to the park and get the kids involved,” said Rich Paulsen, Creston News Advertiser publisher and vol- Paulsen unteer for the Creston Parks and Recreation Department. “Kids

get a free meal when they participate, and mom and dad can get a great hog roast dinner for $5.”

Events

Kids may sign up for the free fish day between 3:15 and 4 p.m., and fishing will take place from 4 to 5:30 p.m. All kids who participate will receive nightcrawlers, bobbers, hooks and a free meal. There are three age groups: 8 years old and younger, 9- to 12-year-olds and 13- to 16-year-olds.

Missouri man found guilty of hunting violations in Taylor County

more mindful that this can happen and will over plan the length of medians in the future so this doesn’t happen again.

“What you have to take away from this is lessons

learned,” Roth said.

Engineers said all other safety improvements are in place and scoring will be high enough with the FRA that the city can move toward the final process to become a quiet zone.

FESTIVAL: Continued from Page 1

The skateboard competition will be held at 3:30 p.m. Before the competition, judges will place kids into classes based on skill: beginner, intermediate and advanced. During the competition, participants will be given points based on how well they skate and tricks they perform. Prizes include trophies for first, second and third place, Creston Bucks and more.

The event, which was originally started by Rob Silliman, is now run by Stacy Van Hal. Last year, Van Hal said about 27 kids skated.

“I love seeing how many kids get out there, skate and just give it their all,” she said. “It may be a competition, but every skater cheers on every skater.

The camaraderie is really high in the skateboarding world.”

This year, Pastor Dave Tebbenkamp is adding a station for kids to tune up their boards before competing. He is also donating two skateboards to be won,

BEDFORD - A Missouri man was found guilty by a jury of illegal deer hunting in Taylor County.

Michael K. Kahnert, 61, of Branson West, Mo., was found guilty of six counts of fraudulently obtaining resident hunting, deer and turkey licenses, three counts of not having valid non-resident hunting and deer licenses, one count of taking/ hunting deer out of season, one count of illegal taking of an antlered whitetail deer,

and two counts of illegal taking of antlerless whitetail deer.

He was sentenced on June 18.

Kahnert was ordered to forfeit the antlers and pay more than $11,400 in fines, court costs and liquidated damages. Kahnert has been suspended from hunting or obtaining any licenses for three years.

The state of Iowa is a member of the Wildlife Violator Compact, which is an

agreement between participating states that prohibits a person whose hunting or fishing privileges are suspended in one state from participating in those activities in another state, including Missouri.

Conservation Officer Andrea Bevington has been actively investigating residency fraud cases like this since 2009. Unfortunately, this type of case is not unique in her territory.

“Iowa is known for tro-

phy whitetail deer attracting people from across the United States and other countries. Unfortunately, these trophies sometimes draw individuals who fraudulently obtain resident licenses and rob the opportunity for a deer of a lifetime from a lawful hunter,” she said.

Residency laws were changed in 2009 to identify a growing problem in Iowa of non-residents falsifying records to illegally obtain resident licenses.

• The board recognized the girls’ softball team for its win Monday, as well as the senior baseball and softball players who made the Hawkeye 10 All-Academic Team: Conner Pals, Brenna Baker, Natalie Mostek and Haylee LaMasters.

• The board acknowledged the resignations of crossing guards Alan Dobbs and JoAnn Foster and assistant girls’ soccer coach Jerry Hartman.

• The board acknowledged the hiring of head building custodian Dan Little.

• The board approved

bread, milk and fuel bids for the 2015-2016 school year, as well as a state-required student and adult meal price increase. New meal prices are now $3.50 for adult lunch, $1.60 for adult breakfast, $2.25 for student lunch and $1.50 for student breakfast.

• The board approved the first reading of new technology policies and voted to add a cyber liability policy through EMC Insurance.

• The board discussed the upcoming board elections. Nomination papers are due by 5 p.m. July 30.

Election day is Sept. 8.

• After a presentation by first-grade teacher Paula Jacobson and fourth-grade teacher Brittany McAlexander, the board approved new supplemental instructional materials for literacy as school funding allows.

• Callie Anderson, pre-kindergarten through second grade principal, said projected class numbers for grades 1 through 5 are all over 100 students apiece, with 124 in the second grade class. Kindergarten is at 95 students, with 22 in pre-kindergarten.

BUS BARN: according to Van Hal. She said there will also be a big surprise from Tebbenkamp.

Kids participating in the fishing and skateboarding activities will be entered into a raffle to win prizes such as Creston Bucks, fishing poles and possibly the skateboards donated

by Tebbenkamp.

The Bill Riley Talent Competition will take place at 5 p.m. Kelly Busch can be contacted for more information at (641) 7820038. Last year, there were more than 40 acts, according to Paulsen. Following the competition, Baird’s students will perform.

Proceeds All proceeds from will go toward park renovations, including the ongoing project of drudging the lake – specifically, putting together silt pools to keep silt out of the lake, according to Paulsen. The McKinley Park Festival has several sponsors, including Creston Parks and Recreation Department and High Lakes Outdoor Alliance.

McDermott said he hopes McDermott the project will be finished by Aug. 20, when he plans to hold an open house for the public to view the new barn and other facilities.

Creston School Board packets now available online Soon, the rustle of pages and the snapping of binder rings during Creston School Board meetings will be replaced with some new sounds: the clicking of computer mice and the clacking of keyboards.

That’s because the board is making the transition to online packets.

Monday’s meeting was the first step

in the process, with the board using both hard-copy and online formats.

Creston business manager Billie Jo Greene said the advantage of this new format is its accessiblity, especially to the press and public.

“It gets it so everything is available to the public,” she said. “That was my goal is because right now yes, they’re

Apple loyalists taking their time on Apple Watch Early Apple Watch owners seem generally happy with it, but Apple’s bigger worry should be those on the sidelines.

■

NEW YORK (AP) — For all those who hailed the iPhone as the “Jesus Phone” in 2007, the Apple Watch’s arrival has hardly been the second coming.

Sure, it can do many useful, even delightful things, such as showing incoming texts and email, tracking heart rates during exercise or sending digital doodles to friends. But is that enough to spend $350 or more, especially when it requires wearing a watch again while still carrying an iPhone around?

Early Apple Watch owners seem generally happy with it, but Apple’s bigger worry should be those on the sidelines — even hardcore Apple fans, not to mention everybody else — who are waiting to take the plunge.

The wait-and-see attitude is not exactly helping investor sentiment. Apple hasn’t released Apple Watch sales figures, but the company’s quarterly financial report Tuesday suggests that they were lower than many Wall Street analysts expected, though Apple said they exceeded internal projections.

A bigger worry for investors: iPhone sales, which at $31 billion account for more than half of Apple’s business.

IPhone sales are still growing rapidly, but the pace of growth is slowing. Worries about the iPhone’s momentum sent Apple’s stock down nearly 5 percent, knocking

about $36 billion off the company’s market capitalization.

Among people holding off on the watch, some say they are waiting for early kinks to be worked out and others, for an “aha moment.”

“It’s been cast as a want, not a need,” said Matt Quick, a Topeka, Kansas, engineer and Apple fan who is holding off on getting one. “I’m kind of waiting to see what next year’s model will bring.”

Patrick Clayton, who has had Mac computers all his life and owns an iPhone and several iPads, returned his Apple Watch after three weeks.

The last straw? It nagged the physically active New Yorker to stand up during a six-hour flight.

“Apple is famous for telling us what we need before we need them,” Clayton said.

“I thought this would be the

case with the watch. But it (just) added something to my life that I didn’t need added.”

That’s not to say the Apple Watch is a bomb. For one, it’s too soon to tell. Expectations are so high that it’s easy to forget, as Apple said, that the watch actually sold better in its first 9 weeks than the iPhone and the iPad did when those came out.

Most analysts and tech reviewers, including The Associated Press, see promise, especially compared with rival smartwatches from Samsung and others. Wristly, a research company created to study the watch, found that early buyers are overwhelmingly satisfied, more so than with the original iPad and iPhone.

And of the more than a dozen early Apple Watch owners interviewed by the AP by phone, email or in person, most of them love their watch. After all, early adopters of new technologies tend to understand that what

they’re getting isn’t perfect.

“I’d recommend it to people with an open mind,” said Dennis Falkenstein of Danville, California. He said the watch gets him “everything I want” such as local temperature, or the current time in Japan, where many of his business clients are.

But even so, there’s a long wish list, including smarter apps. Apple is already addressing some of this with a software update this fall.

Falkenstein would also like to see the battery life improve from the 18 hours that’s currently promised.

Apple has run television commercials showing the watch in everyday life, and it has devoted tables at its retail stores for people to try one on and learn more.

OPINION

Information about excessive nitrate levels in drinking water During the past several months, there have been articles in newspapers as well as reports on the local morning and evening news stations about the issues that the Des Moines Water Works have had with excessive nitrate levels in the water coming into their water treatment facility. The problem has gotten to the point where the Des Moines Water Works has filed a law suit against three counties northwest of the Des Moines area.

There have been many that have asked my take on this subject since I have been doing what I do for 36 years now. I am going to decline comment on that issue at this time because that is not the reason for my bringing this subject up.

In addition, recently, we have seen articles related to excessive nitrate levels in the drinking water

Creston Water Works Steve Yarkosky

in Boone, IA. I suspect that, before it’s all said and done, we will see this same thing happening elsewhere.

My objective here is to give the water users of Creston and the Southern Iowa Rural Water System some knowledge of the effects of excessive nitrate levels as well as what amounts are being found in our drinking water.

A common contributor to the source of nitrates is agricultural related. Nitrogen based fertilizers are commonly used. Getting right

to the point, “more is not better.”

In other words, the more that is used doesn’t mean a bigger yield.

The plant will only consume so much. The rest then either percolates through the soil and ends up in ground water supplies or runs off into surface water supplies. The later would be 12 Mile Lake and 3 Mile Lake which are both used as the primary source for your drinking water.

What is the adverse health effect of excessive nitrate levels in drinking water? Most of the focus on this is with infants where our drinking water is used to mix with formula for feeding. If the water has a level of nitrate concentration in exceedance of the maximum allowable level, as deemed by the Environmental Protection Agency, which is 10 mg/L (that is 10 milligrams

per liter or 10 parts per million), a possible adverse health condition exists. Nitrates have an adverse affect on the bloods ability to carry oxygen to the brain. The result is methemoglobinemia, commonly referred to as “blue baby syndrome.”

So, how does our water compare to others in terms of nitrate levels?

We are truly blessed and should be thankful that this issue, to date, has not been a problem. Again, the maximum allowable limit is 10 mg/L. Some water departments have seen anywhere from small to significant exceedance in this level.

The last nitrate test done on the drinking water in our system was on June 17, 2015. The detected level was 1.8 mg/L. Historically we have seen levels at this amount or less.

Currently we are required to test for nitrate levels once per year per lake. However, I think that this particular contaminant warrants more frequent monitoring and testing.

We live in the state of Iowa where the ag community plays a huge role in our well being. They’ve been doing their part, at least down here in our neck of the woods. I’d like to prove that more often than once a year.

Let us all thank the agriculture community in southwest Iowa.

They obviously understand. They are knowledgeable. They realize that not only do they drink this water but their children do and their grandchildren do. My hat is off to them. Thanks so much for your contributing efforts in keeping our drinking water supplies contaminant free.

Surfer Mick Fanning was attacked by a shark HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Southern California was clobbered by welcome thunderstorms all weekend from Tropical Storm Delores, bringing great relief and happiness. People in the Mojave Desert saw hail for the first time in their lives and went rushing outdoors holding their hats up. They thought it was raining crystal meth.

Chattanooga shooter Muhammed Abdulazeez was reported Monday to have been sent to Jordan by his parents to get away from his party buddies. Tensions are rising. It’s standard to lower a flag after a mass shooting, but President Obama refuses to lower the Iran flag at the White House grounds.

Ashley Madison’s adulterers website was hit by hackers who vow to reveal all the names, photos and financials of everyone who’s registered for a hook-up. Remember in the movie Giant where James Dean’s first oil rig hits a gusher and he rolls around in the oil? That’s how divorce lawyers feel today.

Professional surfer Mick Fanning was attacked by a shark while lying on his board waiting for a wave at the World Surfing Championships in South Africa Friday.

He punched the shark in the back and swam safely to shore. Donald Trump declared that the surfer was no hero for swimming away.

Donald Trump discussed his Presbyterian faith in Iowa Friday and referred to the communion wafer as the little cracker. We don’t get do-overs in life. Trump can’t help thinking how much easier his life would be if he’d referred to Christ’s sacrifice as heroic and called John McCain a little cracker.

Donald Trump retaliated against

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

John McCain Friday for saying Trump brought out the crazies in Arizona by countering that McCain was no war hero in Vietnam just because he was captured.

Trump said he likes people who aren’t captured. It’s not mutual, though, El Chapo is still out to kill him.

Hillary Clinton led a chorus of Democrats denouncing Trump for disrespecting John McCain’s heroism in Vietnam and she ripped Republicans for being slow to defend him. It’s a shame Nixon didn’t have Trump. I have never seen one man turn so many Democrats into Vietnam War supporters.

Donald Trump refused to apologize for his remark denigrating Senator John McCain’s heroism Monday and ripped him for not doing more to help the VA. His refusal to apologize has resulted in some unexpected support. Summer’s Eve is the new corporate sponsor of the Donald Trump campaign.

John McCain told NBC News Monday he used the phrase a bunch of crazies to describe Donald Trump’s political followers in Arizona as a term of endearment.

It’s really not his call to make.

Generally speaking the question of who’s crazy and who’s not crazy is decided by the person with the key.

Tiger Woods flew home to Florida to work on his game Saturday after the longtime King of Golf embarrassingly failed to make the cut in the British Open at St. Andrews in Scotland.

Torture, impunity and the American Psychological Association It has been almost a year since President Barack Obama admitted, “in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, we did some things that were wrong. ... we tortured some folks.”

The administration of Obama’s predecessor, President George W. Bush, carefully crafted a legal rationale enabling what it called “enhanced interrogation techniques,” which is no more than a euphemism for torture. From the U.S. prison camp in Guantanamo Bay to the dungeons of Abu Ghraib in Iraq and Bagram air base in Afghanistan, countless hundreds, if not thousands, of people were subjected to torture, all in the name of the “Global War on Terror.”

With the exception of a few low-level soldiers at Abu Ghraib, not one person has been held accountable. The only high-level person sent to prison over torture was John Kiriakou — not for conducting torture, but for exposing it, as a whistleblower.

The legal facade behind which these heinous acts were conducted relied heavily on the cooperation of professional psychologists, who trained and advised the interrogators and supervised the progress of the “breaking” of prisoners.

This cooperation, in turn, was dependent on an official seal of approval from the American Psychological Association, the largest professional organization of psychologists in the world. In 2006, the American Psychiatric Association and the American Medical Association both barred their members from taking part in military interrogations.

This month, the American Psychological Association released a stunning independent report that confirms what whistleblowers and dissident psychologists have maintained for close to a decade, that the APA actively colluded with the U.S. Department of Defense and the CIA, manipulating the APA’s policies, meetings and members in

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

order to get the APA’s endorsement of the Pentagon’s torture program.

The association’s board of directors last year commissioned an independent review by former Assistant U.S. Attorney David Hoffman. The 542-page report, dubbed “The Hoffman Report,” undermines the APA’s repeated denials that some of its 130,000 members were complicit in torture.

One of those dissident psychologists is Stephen Soldz, a professor at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis and co-founder of the Coalition for an Ethical Psychology.

“Since at least 2005, there’s been a major debate in the association [APA] and the profession about the role of psychologists in national-security interrogations and torture,” Soldz said on the Democracy Now! news hour after the report was released. “The association has denied it ... the report says that the association was wrong; the socalled dissidents, the critics were right.”

The report delves into the practices of a key task force created by the APA, the Presidential Task Force on Psychological Ethics and National Security, also known as the PENS Task Force. Created in 2005, the task force met, ostensibly, to determine the ethical standards for psychologists overseeing interrogations.

After just two and a half days of deliberations, the task force concluded that psychologists were playing a “valuable and ethical role” in assisting the military. The PENS Task Force encouraged the APA “to ensure that the national security-related activities of psy-

chologists are safe, legal, ethical and effective.” It was later revealed that six of the nine voting members of the task force were from the military and intelligence agencies with direct connections to interrogations at Guantanamo and elsewhere.

“I was appointed to be duped,” PENS Task Force member Jean Maria Arrigo told us on Democracy Now! She was the original whistleblower who exposed the task force as a rubber stamp for torture.

“The manipulation began very early on. So, for instance, I was seated between, on the one side, Morgan Banks, who was the head of the BSCT psychologists (Behavioral Science Consultation Team), and, on the other side, the now-president Barry Anton.”

Arrigo detailed how the task force was essentially run by Pentagon psychologists, some of them in uniform. While she was told not to take notes, she did anyway, and has since created the PENS Task Force archives at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Arrigo was lied to about the PENS process, suggesting future meetings would be held where her concerns about torture would be addressed.

The Hoffman report is sending shockwaves through the APA. The director of the APA Ethics Office, Stephen Behnke, considered the “chief of staff” of the APA/Pentagon/CIA collusion, is out, followed by the “retirement” this week of the APA’s CEO, Dr. Norman Anderson, the Deputy CEO, Dr. Michael Honaker, and the executive director for public and member communications, Rhea Farberman.

When asked if there should be indictments, Stephen Soldz said, “There should be a legal investigation.” He is calling for the FBI and Justice Department to investigate.

Stephen Benke, the ousted APA ethics head, meanwhile, has hired as his legal counsel the former head of the FBI, Louis Freeh.

BUSINESS/FARM

Southwestern Community College provides unique work experience for teachers Martha Boehlke, family and consumer science teacher at Orient-Macksburg Community Schools, is taking advantage of her summer break to soak up knowledge for the classroom through personal experience. Boehlke spent a week in June completing a 40-hour paid externship at the Henry A. Wallace Country Life Center in rural Orient.

A teacher externship is a paid professional work experience providing teachers direct experience in a business or industry work environment. During the externship, Boehlke worked side-by-side with Wallace Country Life Center Chef Katie Porter, prepping food for service, completing garden harvest and post-harvest work, preparing and attending a public gardening event, and learning about the overall programming for the Wallace Centers of Iowa.

The externship was made possible through Southwestern Community College’s (SWCC) Workplace Learning Network (WLN), a statewide grant-funded program established to provide workbased learning activities to Region 14 school districts.

In order to enroll in the ex-

ternship program, teachers register through the Green Hills Area Education Agency (AEA) and pay $200 to receive license renewal credits for their participation.

Upon completion, the teachers earn a $600 stipend from the WLN. Lindsay Stoaks, SWCC assistant vice president of instruction, provides instruction for the license renewal portion of the program.

Boehlke said she learned a great deal during the externship.

“I had the opportunity to learn about the farm-to-table movement and the nutritional rewards which go hand-in-hand; gained greater knowledge of a working kitchen and the demands it faces daily; and learned the crucial details required to conduct a business, as well as the partnerships needed to sustain community programs,” said Boehlke.

Ann Schlapia, SWCC WLN coordinator, said by exposing teachers to real-life applications of what they teach, externships enable teachers to develop curriculum suited for project-based learning and that reflects the world of work in the classroom.

“The benefits of a teacher completing an externship are numerous,” Schlapia said. “Externships provide teachers with opportunities to gain ‘real world’ experiences, earn credits toward their license renewal, and bring new ideas back to their classrooms. Ultimately, students benefit through powerful learning activities that prepare them for success in the modern workplace.”

Schlapia said teachers select host sites for their externships, but the WLN assists if instructors need help finding a host site. Externships are not geographically restricted to SWCC’s Region 14. At this point, Schlapia said she has three other Region 14 teachers signed up to complete externships during the summer of 2015, however it’s not too late for additional teachers to register.

Boehlke is confident her experiences will benefit her students in the long run.

“The WCLC [Wallace Country Life Center] along with the SWCC externship program has provided me a refreshing insight as to what it’s like to be a hands-on student again,” Boehlke said. “I am confident these experiences will immensely benefit

presentations, hands-on weed management planning, small group discussion and plot tours presented by extension field agronomists.

In the farmer-oriented session, farmers will learn how to select herbicides from the herbicide effectiveness table, identify which herbicides to apply and develop their own four-year weed management plan. Agribusiness representatives will receive similar information, but it will be presented with a focus on how to support farmers and their operations.

Registration is $25 for

each participant and includes refreshments, lunch and materials. Register online with a credit card at www.aep.iastate.edu/weeds/

by July 30. Morning sessions will conclude with lunch and the afternoon sessions will begin with lunch, which is included in the registration.

Iowa’s unemployment rate drops to 3.7 percent DES MOINES – Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 3.7 percent in June from 3.8 percent in May. The state’s jobless rate was 4.4 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 5.3 percent in June.

“For the fourth time this year, the unemployment rate is down,” said Iowa Workforce Development Director Beth Townsend.

“As the low unemployment trend continues, encouraging gains are being seen in the retail sector; the business establishment survey added 3,000 retail jobs this

month.”

The number of unemployed Iowans decreased to 63,700 in June from 64,800 in May. The current estimate is 10,500 lower than the year ago level of 74,200.

The total number of working Iowans decreased to 1,640,800 in June. This figure was 4,900 lower than May, and 11,300 higher than one year ago.

Iowa’s nonfarm employment added 3,000 jobs in June, raising the total to 1,570,600 jobs.

This month’s increase is the second-straight gain and heavily influenced by hiring in private services.

This is the second year teachers in SWCC’s merged area have had externship opportunities through the WLN. Students in Region 14 are offered “real world” ex-

Goods-producing industries added a slight 200 jobs, and government gained 700 after paring workers over the last few months. Despite recent weakness, government remains up 5,000 jobs versus last June due to hiring at the state and local levels. Total nonfarm employment for the state added 23,400 jobs annually.

In June, the largest monthly movement occurred in trade and transportation (+4,300). This month’s increase was heavily influenced by strong hiring in retail trade following disappointing returns in April and May.

Pickup plan gets sliced Dear Heloise: I DROPPED A GLASS in the kitchen, and it shattered all over the tile floor. I tried sweeping and vacuuming, but there still were slivers left. I took a slice of bread, placed it over the slivers and pressed gently. The slivers stuck to the bread easily. — Julie, via email.

National Digest

Rookie heroics CINCINNATI — Kyle Schwarber hit a tying two-run homer in the ninth inning, then completed yet another big night at Great American Ball Park with a solo shot in the 13th, rallying the Chicago Cubs to a 5-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday.

Schwarber’s homer off Nate Adcock (1-2) gave the rookie his first two-homer game, right in the ballpark where he grew up rooting for the Reds.

The catcher grew up in nearby Middletown, Ohio, and was called up briefly last month.

He hit his first homer in Cleveland. He finally got to play at Great American in the AllStar Futures game nine days ago and won the MVP award with a tworun triple.

Schwarber, the fourth overall draft pick last year, doubled home a run Tuesday and then tied it with his 424foot homer in the ninth off J.J. Hoover, who was filling in as the closer while Aroldis Chapman got a day of rest.

It was the first homer Hoover had allowed all season.

Jason Motte (7-1) allowed three hits in two innings. Justin Grimm pitched the 13th for his second save in three chances.

Cincinnati’s Todd Frazier had another big game, driving in three runs with a sacrifice fly and a tiebreaking, tworun single in the seventh inning for a 4-2 lead.

Royals win KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Since Alex Gordon went on the disabled list, theKansas City Royals have won seven of 10 with Jarrod Dyson and Paulo Orlando replacing him in left field.

Dyson hit a two-run single in the eighth inning to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 3-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night.

“Both guys have played great defense and got some clutch hits for us,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “They’ve been key base hits in key situations.”

Dyson scored later in the inning on Alcides Escobar’s single to put the Royals up 3-0, and they won for the 11th time in 14 games.

Wade Davis (6-1) struck out Andrew McCutchen swinging to end the eighth with two Pirates on base to pick up the victory.

Mariota signs The Tennessee Titans have locked up their top draft pick, quarterbackMarcus Mariota, nine days before players report for training camp, the team announced Tuesday.

Financial terms were not revealed. The fouryear deal includes a fifth-year team option, which is standard for all first-round draft picks.

Top-ranked Gaels snuff Roadrunner attack Interstate-35 in consolation after 3-0 loss

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

FORT DODGE — Fort Dodge St. Edmond coach Paul Hunt’s practice formula came into play during Tuesday’s Class 2A quarterfinal game against Interstate 35.

“I’m really tough on our defense during practice,” Hunt said after the Gaels defeated the Roadrunners 3-0.

“Probably 95 percent of our practices are spent on defense. Teams can’t beat you if they don’t score.”

His team made only one error — an errant pickoff throw to first base — behind the two-hit pitching of senior Amanda Lansman.

A young I-35 team, missing injured third baseman Riley Morris, committed five errors as sophomore pitcher Carlyn Stanley allowed only one earned run.

Lansman, meanwhile,

relied on her nearly flawless defense while keeping the Roadrunner batters off balance. Between the regional final win over Lawton-Bronson and Tuesday’s state opener, Lansman has allowed only three hits in the past 14 innings pitched.

“Her ball really dances,” Hunt said. “We don’t real-

ly put a focus on how hard she’s throwing, we focus on the amount of spin we can get on the ball. We pitch to contact. We try to get teams to pound it into the ground.

If they hit it in the air, hopefully it’s a weak fly ball. She’s tough to square up on.”

I-35 coach Tim Bogs started a lineup of six sophomores, two freshmen and an eighth grader against a veteran Gael squad with six players who appeared in the 2013 state tournament.

“I thought we were a little nervous,” Bogs said. “Usually we swing the bat pretty well. Usually we get ahead in the count and sit on a pitch and drive. We didn’t get any drive on the ball today.”

Bogs said he saw similarities in St. Edmond’s situation two years ago with a young team that developed into this year’s 2A favorite, to his team’s current experience.

“They’re number one,” he said. “In a couple years, if we develop like they did, then we’ll be the number one team.

formances despite the loss and five strikeouts in six innings, after amassing 287 strikeouts in 181 innings with a 1.47 ERA. She ranks fifth in the state C. Stanley in strikeouts.

“I told Carlyn it’s probably the best game she’s pitched,” Bogs said. “In our conference she’s going to strike out 11, 12 or 13 a game. But not against the number one team in the state. Today, she kind of controlled where it went.

We’ve been talking about that.”

The Roadrunners (25-8) were scheduled to face Iowa City Regina in the 2A consolation semifinals at noon today, after Regina lost to Durant, 2-1, in eight innings.

St. Edmond advanced to the semifinals 11:30 a.m. Thursday against Durant.

St. Edmond came into the game with 154 stolen bases, and added seven more in Tuesday’s contest. It didn’t take long for the Gael running game to put pressure on the Roadrunner defense.

Brigid Hanley led off the

second with a double and scooted to third on a wild pitch. Audrey Kolacia bunted and reached on an error on the play, allowing Henley to score.

The Gaels made it 2-0 in the bottom of the third after I-35 had been retired in order in the top of each inning. Anna Yung singled and Lansman followed with a single to center field. Page Kinney came in as a courtesy runner for Lansman.

On a double steal, a throwing error to third pushed across another run before Stanley worked out of the jam by fanning Hanley.

It remained 2-0 as I-35 missed a scoring opportunity in the fourth. A popup by Carlyn Stanley fell for a hit when it was lost in the sun by Gael second baseman Lily Peterson. Then Kate Stanley followed with a bloop single into right field.

Lansman kept the Roadrunners off the board with a flyout and two fielder’s choices executed by the Gael defense.

Uhde starred at third

base for Ottumwa from 1991 to 1994. She helped the Bulldogs reach four state tournaments, including a runner-up finish in 1992. She smacked 31 career home runs and enjoyed her best season as a senior when she hit 14 round trippers while batting .500.

Uhde was a four time allstate selection, earning first team honors in 1994. She also was a two-time first team all-American for Indian Hills Community College and is a member of the school’s Hall of Fame.

Novotny was a dominant pitcher for Turkey Valley from 2003-to-2008. She compiled a career record of 165-29, which places her 16th all-time in career victories and her 2,148 career strikeouts rank third on Iowa’s all-time list. Novotny led Turkey Valley to three state tournament berths.

Solon hammers Clarke with 13-run outburst

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

FORT DODGE — Clarke head softball coach Lindsay Diehl gathered her team near the dugout in the middle of the second inning here Tuesday during Clarke’s Class 3A quarterfinal game against top-ranked Solon.

The Spartans had just exploded for a state tournament record 13 runs in the top of the second inning, thanks to nine hits and a Clarke error.

“What are they doing that we can’t do?” Diehl asked.

The answer — nothing.

But Clarke couldn’t duplicate the offensive firepower nor the clean defense it’s

displayed over the past three years, as Solon rolled to an 18-0 win over the defending champs in three innings.

Clarke (20-18) moves to the consolation bracket, where the Lady Indians played Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley at noon today. Clarke can place as high as fifth in the Class 3A tournament.

“The big thing this year was get here and get the new kids out on the field to see that it’s just another ballpark, another game we play,” Diehl said. “We’re going to start right now gearing up to prepare them for next year.

We’re going to go over there and we’re going to finish fifth. That’s my prediction.

We’re going to come ready

to play two tomorrow.”

Deflating start Clarke had a rough start to Tuesday’s game, but had a chance to get out of the first inning having surrendered just one run.

Solon leadoff hitter Sydney Lawson, batting .563 for the season, slapped a ball to Sara Andrew at first base.

Miscommunication on the play, however, left no one on first base and Lawson was safe at first. Lawson advanced all the way to third base on a passed ball, but Clarke pitcher Sydnee Redman retired the next two batters, with Taylor Nearad’s Please see CLARKE, Page 10A

Prohm, Cyclones prep for trip to Spain

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

AMES (AP) — Steve Prohm inherited more than just a talented team when he accepted the Iowa State job.

He also took over a group whose personality had already been forged through years of shared experiences — good and bad.

Prohm and the Cyclones are about to truly get to know one another.

I o w a S t a t e opened p r a c t i c e Prohm Monday in preparation for a fourgame trip to Spain early next month that includes stops in Barcelona, Valencia and Madrid. The Cyclones, who won 25 games and the Big 12 tournament last season, open the 2015-16 season Nov. 13 against Colorado in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

“Hopefully we get a chance to bond,” Prohm said. “Learn about each other more...and just get a chance to pour into one another. That’s the biggest thing. It’s not really about winning games and playing.

It’s about the time together, the camaraderie.”

The NCAA allows team to make one trip overseas every four years. The Cyclones couldn’t have picked a better year for theirs.

Prohm, the former coach at Murray State, took over Iowa State’s program last month after the Chicago Bulls hired away Fred Hoiberg.

Though Prohm is expected to play a style similar to Hoiberg’s fast-paced system, there will inevitably be differences — mostly on defense. Iowa State is expected to adopt more of an aggressive approach under Prohm.

And even though Prohm and the Cyclones don’t have any idea what level of competition they’ll be facing in Spain, this represents their first chance to test some of Prohm’s ideas for his first Iowa State team.

“I think the biggest thing for him is to make the other team feel uncomfortable and get out of their rhythm and really try to get on them in the passing game,” forward Georges Niang said.

The trip to Spain also finally gives the Cyclones an opportunity to play with one of their most important newcomers in Oregon State transfer Hallice Cooke.

Cooke averaged 8.2 points a game for Oregon State in 2013-14, and he’s returning

from surgery to repair cartilage tears in both of his hips.

This will be an important trip for Cooke, who will try to earn minutes in a crowded backcourt featuring star point guard Monte Morris along with veterans Naz Long and Matt Thomas.

“With Hallice getting back from his hip surgery, (it’s key) for him to be out there together most of the time and making shots, getting his confidence level where it needs to be,” Morris said.

Marquette transfer Deonte Burton will make the trip, but he won’t be able to play because of NCAA transfer rules.

Burton averaged 6.9 points a game for Marquette in 2013-14 and played eight games last season before transferring in December.

He becomes eligible to play for Iowa State at the end of the fall semester.

Burton will be in Spain for the experience, though, which the Cyclones believe will be much more important than the results.

“We’ve always been aa close team. But this give us a chance to get even closer and (play) in coach Prohm’s system and see what he likes,” center Jameel McKay said.

Stoops: Improved passing helps Sooners contend

By STEPHEN HAWKINS

AP Sports Writer

DALLAS (AP) — Bob Stoops is bringing back the kind of pass-happy offense to Oklahoma that he introduced to the Big 12.

The Sooners hope that will help them win some more conference championships after a two-year drought that is the longest in Stoops’ 16 seasons.

“A lot gives me optimism, a 17-year background,” Stoops said Tuesday, the second day of Big 12 media days. “We’re just a year removed from being in the top 10 and winning the Sugar Bowl.”

But the Sooners are coming off an 8-5 season capped by a 40-6 loss to Clemson in the Orange Bowl. They were 5-4 in Big 12 play, their most conference losses since going 3-5 in 1998, the year before Stoops arrived.

They won the 2000 national championship in his second season.

“We need to show up and play tomorrow,” Boggs said.

of our minds,” Diehl said.

“They’re great, but we made them look better than they are. I said, ‘I put my contacts in today, but you guys are acting like they’re 6-6, weigh 300 pounds.’ They didn’t hit Sydnee hard, really. She didn’t throw and give up 15 hits. Our defense, we didn’t help her out.”

Nearad hit a double and a three-run home run in the game, finishing the game with five RBI. Ira added a two-run single in the inning.

Last year’s Class 4A runner-up added two more runs in the top of the third inning for the final 18-0 margin.

Ira, who leads Class 3A in strikeouts, finished the game with a no-hitter, striking out five. Her only blemishes were walks to Kassidy Spurgin and Ally Deutsch in the second inning.

“We’ve sat in that driver’s seat,” Diehl said. “We’ve put up that many runs.

Heck, that’s what we did first round last year up here.

Clarke went out and played a tough schedule this year with the goal being battle tested by the time the state tournament came around, so the Lady Indians would be prepared to play the best teams in the state.

“Whatever we did to prepare schedule-wise didn’t matter if we didn’t show up in this moment, and we didn’t do that.”

After back-to-back singles, Redman induced a ground ball. But an infield error allowed both runners to score, putting Solon up 3-0.

“It was a miscommunication to get the first runner on,” Diehl said. “We’ve been working on that. We’ve been preparing for that. We knew what their gameplan was going to be. We just kind of stubbed our toe.”

After Clarke went three up, three down in the bottom of the first inning, including a pair of strikeouts

by Solon pitcher Emily Ira, the Spartans batted around for 13 runs in the second inning.

The 13 runs in one inning set a state tournament record, while Solon’s 18 runs for the game tied a state tournament record.

Counties selected inductees for their exceptional work in contributing to the lives of 4-H members and the overall 4-H program.

“Mary’s long-standing devotion to 4-H and her commitment to helping each child develop to his or her full potential are just a couple of the reasons Mary was chosen as Union County’s inductee this year,” said Barb Wilmeth, president of Union County Friends of 4-H. “But the biggest reason was her effort recognizing each 4-H and FFA exhibitor for all of their fair work and activities when she was the livestock show ring announcer during the Union County Fair. She did this for 30 years.”

O’Riley says her career as show ring announcer began as a “fluke.”

“I was working as 4-H program assistant and noticed there was a real lull between the livestock classes, so I just picked up the microphone and started ‘adlibbing’ about each exhibitor as they entered the arena for the next class,” O’Riley remembers.

Her colorful commentary was a hit with exhibitors and parents, so the following year, Mary took on the announcer’s role with her trademark enthusiasm and attention to detail.

Her goal was to recognize each exhibitor by sharing details about their non-livestock project exhibits, club work, parents and winnings at the fair. With help from the Extension staff and sev-

eral hours of preparation, O’Riley armed herself with a notebook of details for each show and exhibitor which she used throughout each day’s competition. As announcer, she also assisted the judge and ring personnel, ensuring everyone understood the process, schedule and flow for the day’s event.

O’Riley’s other contributions to 4-H include 13 years as club leader, working with 4-H as an Extension employee, judging 4-H project work and serving as member and officer of the Union County Friends of 4-H Foundation. Today, she continues to judge county fair exhibits and communications as well as judging 4-H communications at the Iowa State Fair.

O’Riley is a licensed master social worker and practicing lay minister and will complete the PATHWAYS Theological Program in November of 2015. She is active in the United Church of Christ Congregational in Creston and has been a member of Kiwanis, the St. Malachy Board of Education and director of Metanoia, while receiving Associates of Art, bachelor’s and master’s degrees as an adult student and working full time.

Mary and her husband Mark farm near Creston.

They are the parents of Matt and the late Misty O’Riley West. The couple has six grandchildren.

The Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame was initiated in 2002 to help commemorate the 100th anniversary of 4-H.

First Iowa farms hit by bird flu nearing restocking time DES MOINES (AP) — One of the first Iowa turkey farms where bird flu was found is getting close to the time at which birds can be restocked, but most of the 77 farms affected are still weeks away from introduction of new flocks, Iowa Department of Agriculture officials said Tuesday.

In an update on the progress of recovery from the bird flu outbreak that killed 34 million chickens and turkeys in the state, officials said all farms have been cleared of birds. Disposal of manure, compost and other waste continued at 18 farms.

The bird flu outbreak began in Iowa in mid-April.

The last reported case was

four weeks ago. All birds that died or were euthanized have been incinerated, buried or taken to landfills.

Once cleaned and disinfected, barns must remain unused for 21 days and routine sampling must confirm no virus remains. Three sites have completed cleaning and disinfection and are in the 21-day follow-up period.

One turkey farm in Calhoun County will finish that period this week, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said. An additional turkey site in Pocahontas County and a chicken site in Clay County are expected to finish the process in the next two weeks.

Disavowed by GOP leaders, Trump has supporters cheering As the fallout intensifies following his comments on Sen. John McCain, Trump’s supporters are more excited than ever about his chances.

■

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The Republican establishment may hope this is the beginning of the end for Donald Trump’s circus-like run for the Trump presidency.

But as the fallout intensifies after the billionaire businessman mocked Sen. John McCain’s war hero status, Trump’s supporters are more excited than ever about his chances.

“I love to see them jump all over him ‘cause they’re just giving him a clear road.

I love it!” said Trump supporter Frank Candelieri, 89, from Merrimack, N.H., of the backlash his candidate faced in recent days.

Candelieri, a World War II vet who said he won a Purple Heart fighting in the Battle of the Bulge, said he wasn’t offended by Trump’s comments.

On Saturday, the reality television star dismissed McCain’s reputation as a war hero because he was cap- McCain

“Trump has proven himself not only unfit to hold office, but unfit to stand on the same stage as his Republican opponents,” the paper said.

Trump responded with a statement calling the editorial “sophomoric,” and accusing the paper of unfair treatment of his campaign.

Branstad orders flags lowered to honor shooting victims DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa’s governor has ordered that flags be lowered to halfstaff at s i t e s throughout the state in Branstad honor of the five servicemen killed last week in Tennessee.

Gov. Terry Branstad on Tuesday called for the state-controlled flags to

be lowered from Tuesday through Monday. President Barack Obama has ordered flags flown at federal buildings and grounds to be lowered to half-staff until sunset Saturday.

The action honors the four Marines and one Navy sailor killed in a shooting last week in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The state is encouraging individuals, businesses and local governments to take similar action to show respect for those killed.
