Ohio, California close ‘Fire Ball’ ride after fatal accident

UNION COUNTY SUPERVISORS

Bridge project begun, postings approved

A crane places a piling on a bridge near the end of last week on 197th Street in section 23 of Jones Township in Union County. The bridge is a complete reconstruction, one of two bridge projects planned for the year.

By BAILEY POOLMAN road is described as a “low- Supervisors CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

The first of two bridge projects for the year have been started. The project, located in section 23 of Jones Township in Union County on 197th Street, is a full bridge replacement. “ T h e project started last week with the c r a n e moving in to start the pile driv- Gunsolley ing,” said U n i o n County Engineer Zach Gunsolley. “The pile driving started late last week.”

The bridge has been closed for approximately four years, but materials had already been purchased before Gunsolley began as engineer. While the gravel

er-use road” by Gunsolley, he pointed out “each bridge is important to somebody,” and expects the project to be finished in 4-6 weeks, weather permitting.

“It’s going to be a new structure from top to bottom,” Gunsolley said, “so, new deck, new piling, new caps, new back walls, new everything.”

Cost thus far is approximately $40,000 for materials and $32,750 for pile driving work. The full cost of the project, Gunsolley said, will be available “when the dust settles” and the number of man hours and the like are added up.

“I think it gives residents a more direct route to the pavement,” said Ron Riley, Union County supervisor,” rather than having to go clear around.”

Postings Union County Board of

unanimously approved a resolution to stand behind countywide bridge postings. The resolution itself is not new; it just allows the county to decrease liability in the event of an incident.

“If a bridge posting went from 14 tons down to 12 tons, we may have changed the sign out in the field, but if there’s an accident out in the field, we have to have an updated resolution by the Board of Supervisors that enforces that sign,” Gunsolley explained.

The bridges across the county are inspected every two years usually; some bridges have lower weight burdens and are inspected annually “because they are at such a state of deterioration that we don’t want to wait 24 months between reviews,” Gunsolley said.

“Our infrastructure’s getting older every day,” Riley said, “and we just need to

do all we can to keep it in as good a shape as we can.”

That said, there were four weight-limit changes in the county since the data was examined from the latest inspection.

The only increase in weight limit occurred on a bridge located on 105th Street in section 1 of Dodge Township, which Gunsolley said was because the bridge deck was replaced before February, when he became engineer.

The three bridges with weight-limit decreases are located on 110th Street in section 8 of Dodge Township, 190th Street in section 21 of Douglas Township and Daisy Avenue in section 16 of Platte Township.

“I will add on that one in Platte Township in section 16, that one went to a closure,” Gunsolley said. “It was posted at 3 tons and we posted a closure.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio State Fair will open Thursday one day after a man was killed and seven other people were injured when a thrill ride broke apart, but the rides won’t be running until they all are deemed safe, officials state.

Video captured by a bystander at the fair Wednesday evening shows the Fire Ball ride swinging back and forth like a pendulum and spinning in the air when it crashes into something and part of the ride flies off.

Screams are heard as passengers are thrown to the ground.

“The fair is about the best things in life, and tonight with this accident it becomes a terrible, terrible

tragedy,” said Republican Gov. John Kasich.

Officials said the man who was killed was one of several people who were thrown to the ground when the ride malfunctioned.

They have not released his name. Ohio State Medical Center said three of the injured were being treated there. Two of them were in critical condition, the hospital said Thursday.

Officials did not know what caused the ride to break apart, saying the investigation was ongoing.

“Of course we want to get to the bottom of this,” Kasich said, noting that there could be things to be learned that could help RIDE | 2A

Trump’s transgender troops ban divides veterans in Congress WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s decision to ban transgender service in the armed forces drove a wedge through military veterans in Congress, with one camp standing squarely behind the commander in chief and the other decrying his order as an ugly attack on dedicated troops.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., a former Army helicopter pilot who lost her legs and partial use of her right arm during the Iraq war, called Trump’s announcement discriminatory.

“When my Black Hawk

helicopter was shot down in Iraq, I didn’t care if the American troops risking their lives to help save me were gay, straight, transgender or anything else,” she said. “All that mattered was they didn’t leave me behind.”

Duckworth said if a person’s willing to risk their life as a member of the armed forces “and you can do the job, you should be able to serve — no matter your gender identity, sexual orientation or race.”

BRIDGE: CONT. FROM | 1A

Out of 159 bridges in Union County, 98 are legal bridges that do not have a weight-limit sign posted. The other 61 bridges are either posted or closed, totaling 38.4 percent of the county bridges. “It’s all relative,� Gunsolley said. “Some counties have a far worse percentage.

It is a high percentage, but some of these bridges have been closed a really long time.�

Similar to the Creston City Council approving the posting of a new stop sign, approving the resolution for the posting change puts weight behind the regulatory signs. “That puts teeth behind the sign in the field,� Gunsolley explained.

Gunsolley said he plans to work with the board members during the next budget workshop in the winter to look at the costs behind maintaining and repairing bridges that need it. The cost to repair a bridge varies de-

decision is understandable given the mounting concern among members of Congress over the amount of money the Pentagon is required to spend on gender transition surgeries and hormone therapy. Russell, a retired Army officer who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, said service members undergoing these medical procedures often aren’t ready to deploy. “I’m not surprised that the administration has come out like this,� Russell said on C-Span’s Washington Journal.

Trump’s tweets announcing the ban came as the administration and House GOP leaders were trying to work out a problem involving medical costs for service members seeking to transition to anoth-

Aaron was a life long Creston resident. He worked as a rotary file operator at Wellman Dynamics for 17 years.

Aaron is survived by his parents, Joe and Jolie Parker of Fairbury, Nebraska; sisters, Jessica (Dustin) Parker-Jones and Amanda (Anthony) Harris, both of Fairbury, Nebraska; brother Adam Parker of Fairbury, Nebraska; soul brother Jeremy England of Columbia, Missouri; niece Jade Parker-Jones; nephews, Asa, Ajay and Avery Harris; many aunts, uncles and other family.

Aaron was preceded in death by his grandparents and aunt Louella Woodworth.

Today is July 27, the 208th day of the year. So, there are 157 days left in 2017. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (July 24-30) in history:

10 years ago Dr. Peggy Whitson was to command Expedition 16 scheduled to launch in early October 2007 from Baikonur Cosmodoma, Kazakhstan. As a 9-year-old watching Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walk on the moon, Whitson had dreamed of going into outer space. She graduated from Mount Ayr High School in 1978, the year NASA started accepting women. Whitson had been with NASA since 1996 and had logged 184 days, 22 hours and 14 minutes in space aboard Expedition-5.

After dropping the immensely profitable TouchPlay games, Iowa Lottery sales decreased by 31 percent in fiscal year 2007.

Sales totaled $235 million, down from $339.5 million in fiscal year 2006.

The city of Creston was eyeing 44 acres of undeveloped land that was to be auctioned on Aug. 2. The property ran directly north of Adams Street and east of Cottonwood and Creston Mayor Mike Tamerius said the land was needed for future development of housing in that area.

pending on the issue, time and other concerns.

Maintenance of bridges usually means brush and weed regulation, while repairs typically consist of fixing bridge pilings. “My goal would be to, moving this point forward, when I’ve been here a full year, I’ll be a little bit more current and a little bit more timely and we’ll have a more complete picture for the board,� Gunsolley said.

There is also currently work being done on a bridge on 210th Street in section 35 of Douglas Township. Gunsolley’s report to the board members quoted the bridge repair at $84,500 currently. “Postings are set by our bridge inspectors and it’s definitely beneficial because it’s all for safety. Obviously, if a Riley bridge gets in a weakened state and can’t carry all that weight, the safety of our residents traveling across it is at risk,� Riley said.

other fairs and amusement parks. “Make no mistake about it, it’s a very, very sad night for all of us.�

A Columbus fire official told WKRC-TV that the man killed was 18 and that the seven people injured ranged in age from 13 to 41.

Kaylie Bellomy was in the next group waiting to board the Fire Ball. “It was going for a minute and it was at its highest point and I saw somebody fall on the ride, and then a minute later the whole like row of seats fell off and hit the ground,� Bellomy told WCMH-TV. It was chaos afterward, she said. “Everybody was running. I got ran over trying to get out of the way.�

A company providing rides at the Ohio State Fair this year describes the Fire Ball as an “aggressive thrill ride.�

The accident prompt-

er gender while serving in the military, an issue that had created problems for a sweeping spending bill.

Social conservatives, led

by Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Mo., were pressing for an amendment to the spending bill blocking funding for such costs, including reassignment surgery. The House narrowly defeated Hartzler’s measure last week, yet she and other conservatives were trying to revive it. That sparked a battle with Republican moderates who had threatened to block the House from turning to the spending bill.

According to a senior Republican aide, House leaders were taken by surprise when Trump announced the broader ban; they had been pressing for a more narrow response.

The aide spoke on condition of anonymity because the individual was not authorized to publicly discuss internal talks.

20 years ago Creston Sanitation Inc. was under new ownership, but former owner, Bob Marquart, said it was “business as usual.� Marquart had owned the company since 1973 and sold it to United Waste Systems of Greenwich, Connecticut, effective July 1, 1997. He stayed on as part-time consultant, his wife Sylvia was still employed in the office, son Bob was named general manager and two other sons, Jim and Tom, were in charge of maintenance and the company’s portable toilet business. There were no rate changes and contracts were still done with Creston Sanitation Inc. Manolis Galanakis, 15-year-old from Greenfield, had to overcome one obstacle after another in order to survive, after being in a comma for 23 days.

Manolis and his bother ed California State Fair officials to shut down the Fire Ball ride there. Barry Schaible, an inspector with a company hired by the fair, told KCRA-TV in Sacramento, “We shut down the ride immediately, unloaded it and it’s closed right now.�

On its website, Amusements of America said that since its debut in 2002, the Fire Ball, which was manufactured by KMG, had become “one of the most popular thrill rides on the AOA Midway.� The company’s description of the ride said it swings riders 40 feet (12 meters) above the midway, while spinning them at 13 revolutions per minute.

Amusements of America did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.

Ride inspectors did not notice anything out of the ordinary when they conducted their inspections and cleared the Fire Ball for passengers, said Director of Agriculture David Daniels. All of the rides at

the fair are checked several times when they are being set up to ensure they are set up the way the manufacturer intended, he said.

Michael Vartorella, the state’s chief inspector of amusement ride safety, said the Fire Ball was inspected three or four times before the fair opened. “We take this job very serious, and when we have an accident like this ... it hits us really hard,� Vartorella said. “My children, my grandchildren ride this equipment. Our guys do not rush through this stuff.

We look at it, we take care of it, and we pretend it’s our own.�

Officials said none of the rides would be open until they are all fully inspected. “Our hearts are heavy for the families of those involved in last night’s trag-

ic accident,� the fair said early Thursday morning in a statement posted on its Twitter page. “We have shut down all rides until the state has inspected each and every ride again and deemed them to be safe.�

Phillip J. Tyler of Creston, special agent of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, was cited for outstanding life insurance sales among the company’s more than 2,500 agents coast-to-coast during the 1966-67 honor year at the annual meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Tyler won the silver section award, presented to an agent who had previously received a bronze award, and increased his sales over the the past year’s volume.

The train carrying the vessel had a speed restriction of 45 miles an hour.

Gabe, 17, sons of John and Joni Galanakis, were visiting their grandparents in Greece. Shortly after they arrived, Manolis fell 12 to 15 feet from a porch, landing on his head and right shoulder. A pickup had to be used to meet an ambulance due to the remote location, and it took an hour to reach a non-modern hospital. Once his parents arrived, they could only see him for 20 minutes a day and the language barrier made it nearly impossible to communicate with the doctors. After Manolis regained consciousness, the doctors refused to release him until the bills were paid, Joni’s emergency passport expired and their flight was delayed so they had to stay in a hotel for two extra days.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), a combat veteran and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, will host a U.S. Service Academy open house for Iowa students interested in applying to or learning more about service academies. Academy representatives from the nation’s five service academies will be available to answer questions on the application and nomination process.

Each student applying to a service academy must receive a nomination. In her capacity as a United States Senator, Ernst has the opportunity to nominate Iowa students to the service academies.

“This U.S. Service Academy open house gives Iowa students the opportunity to learn more about serving our country while also receiving a full four-year scholarship from some of our nation’s finest institutions of higher learning,” said Senator South Central E911 Service Board Ernst. “Students Minutes will have April 26, 2017 theThechance to talk with academeeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. representatives

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, July 27, 2017

The county fairs are over and now onto the Iowa State Fair We have have had some awfully hot weather for the county fairs, so let’s just hope the weather for the state fair gets a little nicer.

I’m sure the hot weather didn’t help the attendance at many of the county fairs around the area.

I even felt sorry for the poor animals that had to be out in that heat.

Welcome to summers in Iowa.

Iowa State Fair The Iowa State Fair runs from Aug. 10 through Aug. 20 up in Des Moines. Now is a good time to buy your tickets before the fair starts.

You can pre-purchase your tickets at Hy-Vee or Fareway. The price at the gate is $12 whereas you can purchase them early for only $8 per ticket.

Besides the usual standard fair food like corndogs and lemonade, there are more than 50 new menu

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

items. Some of the new items include the apple taco, cheesy fried enchilada funnel cake, Iowa’s big pork leg and Thanksgiving balls, which are made with Iowa grown turkey.

We have company coming from Wisconsin that is going to take in the fair the same weekend the big solar eclipse will be coming to the area. They are headed to Lincoln right after the fair to take in the solar eclipse that will be in full totality over in Lincoln on Aug. 21.

McKinley Park Festival Saturday is the McKinley Park

Festival at the park. The event has several activities with a fishing contest and Bill Riley talent show as two of the main events. There is also a hog roast if you need a little dinner along the way.

The proceeds of the hog roast go to the park fund. The fisher “kids” get some free giveaways, dinner and chance at several prizes. It’s always fun to see the families out fishing together. The weather person is also calling for a nice day temperature-wise. The fishing starts at 4 p.m. with registration from 3:15 to 4. Come out and enjoy the evening.

Tax free Tax free weekend is coming up the weekend of Aug. 5. It’s a great time to do some back-to-school shopping and save a little money along the way.

There are usually some great sales plus the incentive to save the sales tax charge on many items.

Sweet corn Sweet corn sales are in full production. Most of the corn that I have bought seems to be a little smaller than in some years past.

I thought the early spring rains would help it out, but the lack of rain over the last seven weeks looks to be taking a toll on the size of the ears. It is still nice and sweet and well worth the purchase.

Unemployment The monthly unemployment rates are out for June. Iowa is now down to 3.2 percent unemployment as a state total. Union County is at 3.3 percent and most of the counties around Union County are even less than that. Adams Coun-

ty is at 2.2 percent, which is one of the lower totals in the state. The U.S. rate is at 4.4 percent.

It seems like almost every business is looking for people. One of Iowa’s main problems is drawing people to the state. I talked with Gov. Kim Reynolds a while back and she is working with Workforce Development on some possible solutions to the problem.

One of the biggest problems businesses have now is that people will not move or relocate. Rural areas offer plenty of employment opportunities, but getting folks out of the cities is the toughest job.

Thought for the week: “The only thing I regret about my past is the length of it. If I had to live my life again, I’d make the same mistakes, only sooner.” – Tallulah Bankhead

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Take more pride in our community From Josh Madison Creston

Lately, I am getting tired of people saying negative things about Creston, which happens to be the community that they live in. Yes, I know Creston is far from a utopia and has its flaws, but it is still my hometown. If people would just flip that negativity into some positive thinking, then maybe this community would flourish more.

Ghandi said it best when he said, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”

If some people would just give it a try, we would start to see the

change that Creston needs.

It also can happen by actions and not just by changing your way of thinking. We all could start by taking pride in our own properties and cleaning them up. It does not take a lot of effort or time to pick up those sticks, mow the yard or rake some leaves. I know I am not perfect at this, but I am getting better and putting in the effort.

If others see people doing this or helping their neighbors out, then that may encourage them to do the same. It starts with everyone stepping up and taking more pride in our community, and that is how Creston fulfills its potential.

New faith found in the system From Jim Stalker Creston

Wednesday, July 19, provided some real insight for me regarding the needed repair of our city streets. We have always seemed to compare what we should be doing by comparing what other towns our size are doing regarding salaries, repairs, upgrades and whatever. The problem with that? We are not always as able to keep up financially with some of the other similar in size towns. Sometimes, we have greater debt to deal with.

Southern Iowa does not do as well as northern Iowa. That’s just an opinion, but I was born in

southern Iowa and I like it just fine. Most times, maybe not this year, our climate is better. Not as cold, not as hot and overall milder.

According to the street article, the council and the people involved are going at this problem slowly, looking at this or that and regarding expenses. Attacking this long overdue problem with a clear head. That’s comforting to me, what with high taxes and all.

In the meantime, John Hayes and his street crew have done a fine job with the seal coating this year and some blacktop repairs around town.

Slowly but surely, we’re coming around, and I’ve got new faith in the system.

‘Dunkirk’ a cinematic experience

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

Editor’s note: This is the first review published by the Creston News Advertiser staff. The staff of the CNA will periodically be reviewing books, movies and music on the opinion page.

From the opening scene placing you on a street in Dunkirk, France, “Dunkirk” firmly plants you on the edge of your seat, white-knuckling until the final credits scroll across the screen after 106 minutes of action.

The opening scene transports viewers onto that Dunkirk street with German propaganda fliers falling from the sky like snowflakes, warning the British and French troops to surrender. Within seconds, the mad dash is on as five soldiers sprint for a wall while gunfire picks them off one at a time – with only one safely scaling the wall to

(temporary) safety.

This is the story of one of the Allied forces’ greatest victories of World War II – an event unfamiliar to many Americans.

It’s a story that needs little added dramatization. After German forces advanced across much of Europe, more than 330,00 British and French troops were evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk back to Britain.

That was easier said than done, though. As the characters in the film noted, home was “so close we can almost see it.” But with Nazi Luftwaffe (air force) controlling the skies and U-boats patrolling the seas, British forces had already lost numerous ships and couldn’t afford the loss of any more.

The film highlights this in one of three different timelines, following one private boat traveling across the English Channel toward Dunkirk.

It was an envoy of private boats that ultimately aided the evacuation of

the troops.

Seeing the film in 70 mm IMAX film the way director Christopher Nolan intended is an experience in itself.

The visuals are striking, and Nolan is able make the viewer feel as though he or she is right on the beach as bombs dropped from Luftwaffe aircraft explode all around.

The various aerial dogfight scenes are one of the film’s real strengths.

There is no real blood and gore as many would expect from a war movie.

The one frustrating part of the film is the sometimes confusing jumping from one timeline to another. If the viewer can get past those jumps, then the film is sure to be a pleasure to anyone who enjoys visual masterpieces.

For the strong visuals and its ability to make the viewer feel as though he or she is there, Nolan’s “Dunkirk” receives five stars.

Real Estate Report HOT IN THE KITCHEN?

Use energy-saving appliance cycles whenever possible. Run the dishwasher only with full loads and use the airdry feature. If your dishwasher has a “booster” water heater, use it to heat the water to 140 degrees manufacturers recommend while keeping an energysaving 120 degrees water heater. Don’t worry about placing hot leftovers in the refrigerator. It won’t affect energy use significantly and cooling food to room temperature first can increase the chance of food-borne illnesses. Use microwaves, toaster ovens, and slow-cookers when possible instead of the oven. Use your self-cleaning oven feature during the night. Use lids on pots and pans to reduce cooking times. Don’t put a small pan on a large burner. A 6” pot on an 8” burner wastes 40% of the heat.

7 ‘little’ upgrades that can mean a lot to homebuyers (BPT) – Anyone who’s ever bought or sold a home knows how even little things can sway a buyer to feel a particular house is “just right.” While major features such as a good location, a big kitchen, and a certain number of bedrooms and bathrooms all drive a home’s price and how attractive it is to buyers, small details like fresh paint and new faucets can also help clinch a sale.

When you’re trying to sell your home, you should be willing to spend some money on repairs and improvements to help boost the sale price.

The good news is that you don’t have to spend a lot to make a big impact if you invest in key quality details. Here are seven “little things” you can do to help make your home more appealing to buyers, and possibly get a better price - and you can ac-

complish them in just a weekend: * Upgrade your kitchen faucet and sink - The kitchen faucet and sink aren’t just practical tools every kitchen needs - they can also be essential elements of a room’s overall design and appeal. Replacing a dated kitchen faucet is a minor change that can mean a lot to homebuyers. Choose a pull-down, multi-function option like the American Standard Edgewater semi-professional kitchen faucet with SelectFlo technology. In addition to modern styling, you’ll get four spray functions and a convenient pause feature, the ability to set a preferred water temperature without re-adjusting the handle, and a water-conserving maximum flow rate of just 1.5 gallons per minute. Pair it with an Edgewater double bowl stainless steel kitchen

sink, and you’ve created a new focal point of design, efficiency and utility sure to catch buyers’ eyes. * Install a programmable thermostat - If your home’s thermostat predates Facebook, it’s probably time to ditch the dial and install a touchpad programmable thermostat. Not only would a new thermostat help your home look more modern, a programmable thermostat helps with energy efficiency - something that’s very important to today’s homebuyers. The U.S. Department of Energy says reducing your thermostat setting by just 7-10 degrees for eight hours a day can save you as much as 10 percent annually on energy bills. A programmable thermostat automates the savings for you! * Replace incandescent light bulbs - If your home still has traditional lightbulbs, replacing them with

energy-saving LEDs or CFLs is an easy way to improve your home’s overall energy efficiency. These bulbs use 25-80 percent less energy than conventional bulbs and last three to 25 times longer, according to the Department of Energy. Imagine the appeal for homebuyers when your selling agent mentions that light bulbs won’t need replacing for years after moving in! * Upgrade the front door - Your home’s entrance is the feature that officially welcomes potential buyers into your humble abode. Replacing an old, weathered front door with a new one creates a positive first impression.

What’s more, installing a steel entry door returns 90 percent of its value at the time of resale, according to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report. * Put a water-efficient

faucet in the bathroom - A great deal of water can be wasted in the bathroom, and the faucet can be one of the biggest culprits. Replacing an older bathroom faucet with a modern water-conserving option like one from the Townsend bathroom sink faucet collection is not only visually appealing for buyers, it also speaks to their sense of environmental responsibility.

What’s more, upgrading to a faucet with handles, instead of a knob-style operation, allows for easier functionality for people with varying degrees of dexterity, from small children to senior citizens. * Add a water filtration system in the kitchen - Americans are more aware than ever of the quality of water inside their homes, so adding a filtration system can be an extra feature that appeals to homebuyers. Simple

under-sink filtration systems can cost as little as a couple hundred dollars. * Install a sun tube Who doesn’t want a home filled with natural light?

Not only does sunlight deliver physical and mental health benefits, using natural light can also help reduce dependence on artificial light sources that impact your energy bills.

Sun tubes can bring natural light into dark spaces, even those on the ground floor. DIYers can install this special reflective tubing for under $500, while pro installation can run closer to $1,000.

When you’re selling a house, every little bit helps, and upgrading small details can make a big difference in how potential buyers view your home. Go ahead, make these upgrades now, and see potentially higher gains in the sale of your home.

Check out this year’s top 3 trends in vegetable gardening food. In fact, today’s garden veggies make it possible to achieve that fresh-from-thegarden taste even if you only have a small sunny patch or balcony. With Take 2 Tomato Combos from Burpee you combine a delicious slicer tomato with a sweet cherry in one container. They ripen at the same time for a steady supply of great-tasting tomatoes, like BushSteak and Baby Boomer. Next to your hardworking container, plant complementary herbs, peppers or lettuces, which also grow well in smaller spaces.

(BPT) – Whether you go to a restaurant or stay home and dine in, you want what you eat to be fresh and full of flavor. This movement toward tasty, locally grown food is illustrated by the rise in farmers markets, food

subscription boxes, and a renewed joy in growing vegetables at home. As the spring gardening season gets underway, here are three of the top trends you can take advantage of in your own vegetable garden that can

help you reach a new foodie level in 2017.

Trend number 1: Garden size doesn’t matter You don’t need massive outdoor space to enjoy the benefits of growing your own

Trend number 2: Explore fresh, unique tastes Unleash your inner gourmet by selecting vegetables for your garden that create a unique flavor story or experience. Cupcake Summer Squash offers a new twist on a familiar favorite. Its edible zucchi-

ni-like skin is shaped perfectly for savory stuffing.

The presentation is sure to impress dinner guests, while it’s petite enough to enjoy solo. Continue to experiment and be on the lookout for other unique vegetables and herbs with color, texture and global flavor. Your garden can be a culinary adventure.

Trend number 3: Grow something amazing We’re all a bit of a showoff when it comes to growing vegetables. The satisfaction of success is even sweeter when you can impress your friends and neighbors - either over the garden wall or on social media. So why not grow the biggest, the earliest or the best? SteakHouse is one of the world’s largest beefsteaks. This tomato routinely tips the scale at three pounds or more.

Loaded with tomato flavor and fragrance, it will get them saying, “Wow!” and get you excited for dinnertime. Up your social currency with other amazing selections like the season’s first tomato, the best herbs for recipes all season, high-yielding peppers and more.

Like many other aspects of your life, the 2017 trends in vegetable gardening are all about maximizing your time, space and abilities to create an experience that’s uniquely yours. Use these ideas in your garden as your next step to fresh and flavorful food.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: As a follow-up to your column about helping ease kids into KINDERGARTEN, here are some more hints: Call the school to see if you can stop by the classroom with your child a few days before school begins. Teachers are there to set up during this time, and you may meet the teacher and look around the classroom.

I also kissed my children’s palms, so they could hold the kiss in case they needed it during the day. All three of my kids said they used the kiss! (They are in their 30s now!) – Nana Ruth, via fax Nana Ruth, wonderful!

Here are even more hints to get kids ready for kindergarten. Practice with your child so she or he can: Read some words.

Identify shapes.

Sort items by color.

Use scissors properly.

Listen to and talk about a story.

Name what letter a particular item starts with (“L” for “lamp”). – Heloise LIPSTICK TRICK Dear Heloise: When my favorite lipstick has run its course, I use a strong toothpick to reach down and circle the tube, then gently lift out the remaining lipstick.

I like to use a contact-lens case to give the leftover lipstick new life; it enables two different colors to choose from, or to get a new color by mixing them together. – M.L., Omaha, Neb. VEGGIE SNACK Dear Heloise: Years ago, my kids used to hover around the kitchen wanting snacks while I cooked supper. I started putting out a plate of raw veggies and dip for them to eat. It was a winwin-win!

The kids were happy, I was able to cook, and they ate massive amounts of vegetables. They are now veggieloving adults, and they have thanked me again and again for raising them with healthy eating habits! – Marianna C., LaGrange, Ga. GONE TO POT Dear Heloise: A fun summertime project for me involves cheap clay terra-cotta pots, available anywhere.

I seal and paint them, and then I plant in them.

There are many plants and ivies that are hardy and easy to grow. I read the included instructions, make sure the soil is rich, gently break apart the roots when transplanting and water the plants correctly.

I like to add pretty rocks,

SUDOKU

shells, marbles or moss on top of the soil. They make the plants prettier.

I talk to my plants, too. I think it helps them grow – positive affirmation! – Julie W., Devine, Texas Julie, you’ve got a green thumb! There is some research to suggest that vibration may benefit plant growth, and sound is essentially vibration, so talking to your plants may help them.

Ultimately, water, light and good soil are the best tools for growth for your plants. – Heloise SQUINT TO SQUIRT Dear Heloise: I’m unable to use my perfume bottle without first spraying the room. There should be a bright color to distinguish the opening. – A Reader, via email Dab a bit of bright nail polish just below the opening so you can see it. – Heloise Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at) Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

State umpires DES MOINES — Umpires Steve Shantz of Greenfield and Scott Busch of Creston worked two Class 3A games Tuesday at the State Baseball Tournament at Principal Park in Des Moines.

Shantz and Busch were umpires as top-seeded Davenport Assumption knocked off Bondurant-Farrar 12-2 in five innings.

They were also on duty as fourth-seeded Dubuque Wahlert overcame a one-run deficit in the seventh inning to pull out a walk-off 5-4 victory over fifth-seeded Marion.

Prairie falls DES MOINES — Defending champion Cedar Rapids Prairie, which ousted Southeast Polk coached by Creston native Scott Belger in the substate game, fell to Waukee 1-0 in a Class 4A state quarterfinal game on Wednesday.

Waukee prevailed behind a stellar pitching performance from junior Drew Irvine. Irvine threw a complete-game shutout and allowed just two hits and stuck out five.

The game, which was supposed to start at 11 a.m., was delayed about an hour and 20 minutes because of rain.

Top-seeded Johnson survived a rain delay to defeat Linn-Mar, 7-1, before the Iowa City West vs. Cedar Rapids Washington game began at 10:40 p.m. The Mason City vs. Dowling Catholic game was postponed to 9 a.m. Thursday, preceding Class 1A semifinal action.

Transfer IOWA CITY — New Mexico coach Bob Davie told the Albuquerque Journal that wide receiver Matt Quarells will play this season for Iowa as a graduate transfer. Last year Quarells had 11 catches for 180 yards and one touchdown, with a long play of 62 yards. He was the Lobos’ third-leading receiver.

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, July 27, 2017

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews. com

As a 32-year-old high school guidance counselor working in North Bend, Nebraska, Gary O’Daniels answered a call for volunteers to help the new coed high school state track and field meet.

At the time, O’Daniels was coaching cross country at North Bend High School. As a former track and cross country runner at Missouri Valley High School in western Iowa and at Graceland University, he had a natural interest in the sport and thought he could serve a need as the girls and boys meets merged into one weekend event.

Now, 42 years later, O’Daniels has turned that volunteer “hobby” into a Hall of Fame career.

O’Daniels, still involved in the sport as Creston Community High School assistant cross country coach and volunteer assistant girls track and field coach, will become one of the newest members of the Iowa Association of Track Officials Hall of Fame later this year.

The formal ceremony will be held as part of the Iowa Association of Track Officials and Iowa Association of Track Coaches annual clinic for coaches and officials in Ames in December.

Last year, O’Daniels received one of two awards for Assistant Cross Country Coach of the Year for his work with longtime Creston coach Pat Schlapia.

“He’s been my assistant coach for 12 years and it was great that he got one of two awards for assistant coach of Schlapia the year at the same banquet last December,” Schlapia said.

“As an official, Gary is very conscientious. He is very detailed, whether he’s working cross country or track an field. His knowledge and background in the sports

Gary O’Daniels, shown working as the starter at the 2017 Panther Relays, is being inducted into the Iowa Association of Track Officials Hall of Fame in December. He began working as a track official in Nebraska in 1975, and started working at Iowa meets in 1986.

and their rules makes him very successful. He cares about the sports and the people involved in them.”

O’Daniels, 74, retired from a career at Southwestern Community College that he began in 1986, said he got unexpected news while attending an advisory meeting the association holds each spring after the state coed meet.

“We go over recommendations and possible changes when the track coaches and officials get together in June,” O’Daniels said.

“They informed me then that I was selected this year as one of two or three new inductees. I was surprised!”

Worked two states O’Daniels certainly has the credentials. He was an official at the Nebraska High School State Coed

Track and Field Meet for 25 years. He has been an official at the Iowa State Coed Track and Field Meet since the boys and girls meets merged in 2005.

O’Daniels is also active as an official at collegiate and national meets. He is a USATF Master Level official and has officiated at USATF championships — both indoor and outdoor — as well as NCAA track and field regional and national meets, NAIA indoor and outdoor national championship meets, the Drake Relays and numerous high school and middle school track and cross country meets in southern and western Iowa.

O’Daniels still works as starter at four cross country meets each fall in Corning, Creston, Osceola and Orient while working as an

assistant coach for the Panthers. In the spring, his volunteer coaching work takes place mostly at practices, as he is busy working as an official at several meets.

Nonetheless, Panther girls coach Clay Arnold says O’Daniels is valuable in his work with the student-athletes as well as at several meets where he sees him perform his duties as an official.

“He loves teaching people about the sport being involved in it,” Arnold said. “ H e ’ s great with the girls. Arnold He’s top notch. During the season he works multiple meets and he does a bunch of college

meets. He’s been to NAIA nationals and this year he went to the USATF indoor meet. He’s well respected by his peers and those who put on the meets here, that’s for sure.”

Racewalking expertise Both Gary and wife Phyllis O’Daniels are USATF Master Level racewalk officials, working at many NAIA collegiate racewalk events as well as the Junior Olympics state and regional racewalking events. Gary is an accomplished racewalker himself, slowed recently by hip replacement surgery.

“I compete on a limited basis now,” he said. “I’m a year and a half out from hip replacement.”

At the 2013 USATF national championships hosted by Drake University, O’Daniels was the head racewalking official and has also been a racewalk judge or official at USATF national 50K racewalk championships.

O’Daniels worked in student services, the assessment center and served as special needs coordinator at SWCC before retiring in 2002. During that time, he got involved in coaching at Creston and as a volunteer assistant for Bill Huntington at Orient-Macksburg.

O’Daniels continue to serve as needed. Just this week, with Schlapia out of town with family, O’Daniels supervised the weekly Wednesday morning run for cross country athletes originating at the high school.

“I’ve been blessed with many great assistant coaches,” Schlapia said, “but Gary has been such a good resource. He really cares about the kids. It’s always great to see him working at the state meets and the Drake Relays each year.”

O’Daniels has worked as an umpire at the Drake Relays. At high school and collegiate meets he’s often officiated the throwing events for high jump, as well as clerking athletes during the check-in process.

It’s been quite a well-rounded career that started with answering that call for volunteers.

“He lives and breathes those sports and I think it’s awesome that he’s being recognized like this,” Schlapia said.

Brain disease seen in most football players in large report

By LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer

CHICAGO (AP) — Research on 202 former football players found evidence of a brain disease linked to repeated head blows in nearly all of them, from athletes in the National Football League, college and even high school.

It’s the largest update on chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a debilitating brain disease that can cause a range of symptoms including memory loss.

The report doesn’t confirm that the condition is common in all football players; it reflects high occurrence in samples at a Boston brain bank that studies CTE. Many donors or their families contributed because of the players’ repeated concussions and troubling symptoms before they died.

“There are many questions that remain unanswered,” said lead author Dr. Ann McKee, a Boston University neuroscientist.

“How common is this” in the general population and all football players?

“How many years of football is too many?” and “What is the genetic risk?

Some players do not have

evidence of this disease despite long playing years,” she noted.

It’s also uncertain if some players’ lifestyle habits — alcohol, drugs, steroids, diet — might somehow contribute, McKee said.

Dr. Munro Cullum, a neuropsychologist at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, emphasized that the report is based on a selective sample of men who were not necessarily representative of all football players. He said problems other than CTE might explain some of their most common symptoms before death — depression, impulsivity and behavior changes. He was not involved in the report.

McKee said research from the brain bank may lead to answers and an understanding of how to detect the disease in life, “while there’s still a chance to do something about it.” Currently, there’s no known treatment.

The strongest scientific evidence says CTE can only be diagnosed by examining brains after death, although some researchers are experimenting with tests performed on the living.

Many scientists believe that repeated blows to the head increase risks for developing CTE, leading to progressive

loss of normal brain matter and an abnormal buildup of a protein called tau. Combat veterans and athletes in rough contact sports like football and boxing are among those thought to be most at risk.

The new report was published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

CTE was diagnosed in 177 former players or nearly 90 percent of brains studied.

That includes 110 of 111 brains from former NFL players; 48 of 53 college players; nine of 14 semi-professional players, seven of eight Canadian Football league players and three of 14 high school players.

The disease was not found in brains from two younger players.

A panel of neuropathologists made the diagnosis by examining brain tissue, using recent criteria from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, McKee said.

NFL statement The NFL issued a statement saying these reports are important for advancing science related to head trauma and said the league “will continue to work with a wide range of experts to improve the health of current

and former NFL athletes.”

After years of denials, the NFL acknowledged a link between head blows and brain disease and agreed in a $1 billion settlement to compensate former players who had accused the league of hiding the risks.

The journal update includes many previously reported cases, including former NFL players Bubba Smith, Ken Stabler, Dave Duerson and Ralph Wenzel.

New cases New ones include retired tight end Frank Wainright, whose 10-year NFL career included stints with the Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens. Wainright died in April 2016 at age 48 from a heart attack triggered by bleeding in the brain, said his wife, Stacie. She said he had struggled almost eight years with frightening symptoms including confusion, memory loss and behavior changes.

Wainright played before the league adopted stricter safety rules and had many concussions, she said. He feared CTE and was adamant about donating his brain, she said.

“A lot of families are really tragically affected by it. It’s like a storm that you

can’t quite get out of,” his wife said.

Frank Wycheck, another former NFL tight end, said he worries that concussions during his nine-year career — the last seven with the Tennessee Titans — have left him with CTE and he plans to donate his brain to research.

“Some people have heads made of concrete, and it doesn’t really affect some of those guys,” he said. “But CTE is real.”

“I know I’m suffering through it, and it’s been a struggle and I feel for all the guys out there that are going through this,” said Wycheck, 45.

In the new report, McKee and colleagues found the most severe disease in former professional players; mild disease was found in all three former high school players diagnosed with the disease. Brain bank researchers previously reported that the earliest known evidence of CTE was found in a high school athlete who played football and other sports who died at age 18.

He was not included in the current report.

The average age of death among all players studied was 66. There were 18 suicides among the 177 diagnosed.

NASCAR THIS WEEK

The Daytona Beach News-Journal’s Godwin Kelly & Ken Willis have covered NASCAR for nearly 60 years combined. godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com ken.willis@news-jrnl.com

INDIANAPOLIS

SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

Does Kahne’s win get him a ride for 2018?

GODSPEAK: It gets him into the playoffs, and a championship would close his “Silly Season” door.

KEN’S CALL: No factor. It was a very circumstantial victory.

Who’s in trouble?

At least one additional driver, for sure, with Kasey Kahne’s surprising win at Indianapolis.

Four winless drivers remain in the top 16 and in line for a playoff berth, based on their points, but if another previous non-winner wins one of the next six races, those four shrink to three. And Joey Logano, whose early-season win introduced the word “encumbered” to the racing lexicon, should be the best candidate to officially enter the club of winners and clinch his playoff berth.

Time to put in lights at Indy?

GODSPEAK: Nah, don’t give them any ideas, please.

KEN’S CALL: I’m kinda shocked they haven’t already done that.

William Byron wins again in Xfinity; has he clinched a Cup ride for 2018?

GODSPEAK: Young Billy is certainly fast-tracking the system. He needs another year in Xfinity.

KEN’S CALL: He seems destined for the No. 5 car, assuming business considerations work out.

W H AT ’ S O N TA P

How weird is that?

The No. 78 Toyota driven by Martin Truex Jr. burns after a crash with Kyle Busch during the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis. [AP/GREG HUEY]

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED 1. THE wreck

2. Bad taste

3. Race time

Just 48 laps from the scheduled finish, the two fastest cars, driven by Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr., wrecked each other out on a restart. Busch has not won in his past 36 starts. “That’s the way it goes, just chalk it up to another one that we figure out how to lose these things by,” Busch said.

Brad Keselowski started the penultimate lap as the race leader, but finished second to Kasey Kahne at Indy. “Anytime that you’re that close (to winning) you can taste it,” Keselowski said. “I had a taste of it in my mouth, I didn’t get to eat it.” It’ll all go down with a light beer.

The official time of the Brickyard 400 was 3 hours, 39 minutes. In reality, the NASCAR major lasted more than six hours when you factor in three red flags (race stoppage). The sun had dropped below the horizon before Kahne took the checkered flag. No lights at Indy.

XFINITY: U.S. Cellular 250 SITE: Iowa Speedway (.875mile oval) TV SCHEDULE: Friday, practice (NBC Sports Network, 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.). Saturday, qualifying (NBCSN, 12:30 p.m.), race (NBCSN, 3:30 p.m.)

CAMPING WORLD TRUCKS: Overton’s 150 SITE: Pocono Raceway TV SCHEDULE: Saturday, race (Fox, 1 p.m.)

THREE THINGS TO WATCH If it seems like the NASCAR Cup Series just raced at Pocono Raceway, you are correct. The Cup tour raced there on June 11 and returns to the “tricky triangle” on Sunday. Yes, that is only an eight-week gap, and yes, Pocono is fully aware of the schedule since it has always agreed to NASCAR’s need to have one northern race track host Cup races close on the calendar. Don’t look for Pocono to give up a date.

Who would have figured Kasey Kahne would be the driver who would turn into the NASCAR playoff disrupter? Kahne’s stock was sinking fast after a 102-race

3. Hendrick haven

It seems like yesterday Ryan Blaney scored his first career NASCAR Cup win at Pocono. Well, it was just eight weeks ago. [NASCAR

losing streak and then BAM! He is in the playoffs, perhaps slamming the postseason door on the faces of Clint Bowyer and Joey Logano.

“It pretty much sucks,” said Bowyer, who finished 30th

Rick Hendrick now boasts 10 Brickyard 400 wins since the race was added to the Cup calendar in 1994. Out of the 24 races staged, Hendrick has 10 wins from three drivers. Jeff Gordon has five wins, followed by Jimmie Johnson’s four-win effort and topped off with Kasey Kahne’s first 400 trophy on Sunday. Hendrick Motorsports has a .417 batting average at Indy, better than Ty Cobb’s .366 over 24 seasons.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: First off, Jones looks younger every time we see him after a race.

As for Bowyer, Jones said, “(He) just turned left. I was at his door almost and wrecked me and him.”

and is now 33 points from the final playoff spot. “No, it definitely wasn’t needed for sure.”

It’s rather weird that Chase Elliott and Matt Kenseth are teetering at the bubble and in danger if a couple more newbies win races, but yes, extremely weird that Logano is anywhere near a bubble — thanks to his “encumbrance” at Richmond, but also thanks to his unlikely pile of rotten finishes. He’s had an eighth and a third in the past three weeks, but he needs a first, and fast. Strange stuff for a team that’s been a championship threat for the past three years.

Iowa group sues United over death of giant rabbit, Simon DES MOINES (AP) — A group of Iowa businessmen filed a lawsuit Wednesday against United Airlines over the death of Simon, a giant rabbit whose lifeless body was discovered in a kennel after a flight from London to Chicago.

The lawsuit comes as United struggles to repair its image after a string of events, including the videotaped forced removal of a 69-year-old doctor from a plane at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and the banning of two young girls from a flight because they were wearing leggings.

The businessmen filed the lawsuit more than three months after airline workers found the continental rabbit dead on April 20. Simon had been placed in a United kennel at O’Hare while awaiting a connecting flight to Kansas City, where his new owners planned to pick him up.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages to cover the costs of the rabbit as well as punitive damages.
