Even though the amount of fires drops in the summer after the prevalence of grass fires in the spring, the activity rate for fire departments, emergency medical personnel and police departments doesn’t.

Instead, heat-related incidents and car accidents increase, thanks in part to rising temperatures and recreational activities.

“Our fire volume is down, but that doesn’t mean our activity level is down,” said Creston Fire Chief Todd Jackson.

“We’re still staying busy doing different things like fire alarms or medical calls. Jackson We see a higher rate of medical calls because of heat-related things and accidents.”

In 2013, heat-related hospitalizations in the state of Iowa were at seven for 1534 years old, 24 for 35-64 years old and 17 for 65 years old and up. The numbers dropped in the lower and higher age groups in 2014.

According to the Iowa De-

partment of Public Health and Safety, when spending time in the heat, there are several things to keep an eye on.

Heat cramps are intermittent muscle cramps. Heat syncope is temporary loss of consciousness because of prolonged heat exposure and symptoms are light-headedness and fainting. Heat exhaustion is extreme depletion of blood plasma volume, and symptoms are weakness, nausea, rapid heartbeat and low blood pressure.

The most extreme heat-related illness is heat stroke, which can be the result of untreated heat exhaustion.

Heat stroke occurs when the body’s core temperature rises above 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and has symptoms of damaged vital organs and low oxygen levels in the blood. Death can also occur.

Car accidents occur less often in the summer, but the seriousness of the accidents SUMMER | 2A

GOP to investigate FBI decision on Clinton emails WASHINGTON (AP) — Angry House Republicans are announcing plans to investigate FBI Director James Comey’s decision against pressing criminal charges for Hillary Clinton over her handling of classified emails.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said Comey’s decision defies explanation and leaves m a n y questions u n a n swered.

The House Ryan Oversight and Government Reform Committee called Comey to testify on Thursday, and the Judiciary panel announced that Attorney General Lo-

retta Lynch would appear next week.

“The FBI should give us all of their findings,” Ryan told Fox News Channel’s “The Kelly File” on Tuesday. Ryan said Clinton is “competing for commander in chief here, so I think there’s a whole accounting that needs to happen.”

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the committee, said Comey would testify before his panel on Thursday.

“The FBI’s recommendation is surprising and confusing,” Chaffetz said. “The fact pattern presented by Director Comey makes clear Secretary Clinton violated the law. Individuals who intentionally skirt the law must be held accountable.”

Democrats on the committee attacked the decision as political.

“Republican after Republican praised Director Comey’s impeccable record of independence_right up until the moment he issued his conclusion,” said the committee’s top Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland. “The only emergency here is that yet another Republican conspiracy theory is slipping away.”

The FBI is supposed to be insulated from partisanship, with directors appointed to serve 10-year terms under legislation passed in 1976 following J. Edgar Hoover’s extraordinary 48-year tenure. Comey is a Republican first nominated to a senior EMAIL | 2A

Alley up: A flood of new gold-topped recycle bins hit the streets of Creston June 29 for the

newly instituted home pick-up of recyclables by Waste Management. The receptacles were delivered by a third-party contractor from the Waste Management facility in Des Moines. Pick-up of garbage and recyclables will change to alleys rather than streets for all residents who have alleys on their block. According to Waste Management District Operations Manager Bill Eads, those living in homes on blocks with an alley need to put their collection bins in the alley going forward, rather than on the street. If residents have a particular reason they do not want to leave the street for the alley, they can contact the city. However, the request must be supported by all residents on that block.

I think that’s probably average.”

According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, there were six fatalities from car accidents, and three were alcohol-related over the Fourth of July holiday in 2013. That number increased to seven fatalities with three being alcohol-related in 2014, but the number decreased to five fatalities with three being alcohol-related in 2015.

Also, there were 65 driver’s license revocations because of operating while intoxicated charges in 2015 in Union County. That number has increased from 43 in 2010, 45 in 2012 and 49 in 2014.

Also in 2015, Adair County had 26 revocations, Adams County had 18, Ringgold County had 15 and Taylor County had three.

“Don’t have your music blaring. Don’t text. Try to keep passengers to a minimum if you can,” Ver Meer said. “If you ride a motorcycle, drive defensively.”

Justice Department post by George W. Bush and tapped to lead the FBI in 2013 by President Barack Obama.

But Comey’s declaration that “no charges are appropriate” against Clinton is drawing a deluge of GOP criticism, even though Comey prefaced it by calling Clinton “extremely careless” in her handling of highly sensitive information.

He also suggested she sent emails with information that was classified at the time, contrary to her previous claims.

“What really just mystifies me is the case he makes and then the conclusion he draws, and what bothers me about this is the Clintons really are living above the law. They’re being held by different set of standards. That is clearly what this looks like,” Ryan said. “And this is why we’re going to have hearings, and

this is why I think that Comey should give us all the publicly available information to see how and why they reached these conclusions.”

Ryan also said the government’s director of national intelligence should block the presumed Democratic presidential nominee’s access to classified information.

The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., also criticized Comey’s conclusions and released a lengthy letter to the director demanding answers to a series of questions about how he reached them.

Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, charged that “the investigation by the FBI is steeped in political bias” and called for appointment of an independent counsel in the case.

Another House Republican, Paul Gosar of Arizona, tweeted a cartoon of a Monopoly “Get out of jail free” card showing a winged Clinton flying out of a cage labeled

“FBI.” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, voiced “serious concerns about the integrity of Director Comey’s decision,” arguing that Comey “has rewritten a clearly worded federal criminal statute.”

Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., a former attorney general in her state who is in a tough re-election race, complained, “The lives of Americans depend on the protection of classified information, and failing to enforce the law in this case sets a dangerous precedent for our national security.”

Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential candidate who looks certain to face Democrat Clinton for president, complained that the system is “rigged,” and that “it was no accident that charges were not recommended against Hillary the exact same day as President Obama campaigns with her for the first time.”

Yet Comey’s approach also drew scattered complaints

from Democrats who objected to his lengthy criticism of Clinton if he wasn’t going to recommend an indictment.

“Once again, Clinton gets worse treatment than anyone else would. I can’t remember an FBI press conference like that when charges declined,” Matthew Miller, a former Justice Department spokesman and Democratic operative and congressional aide, said over Twitter.

Comey, who served as deputy attorney general in the Bush Justice Department, seemed to anticipate his critics, offering something of a pre-buttal at the end of his statement Tuesday.

“I know there will be intense public debate in the wake of this recommendation, as there was throughout the investigation,” Comey said.

“What I can assure the American people is that this investigation was done honestly, confidently and independently. No outside influence of any kind was brought to bear.”

Red Cross urges donations to maintain summer blood supply OMAHA, Neb. – The American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give blood in the weeks surrounding Independence Day to help ensure a sufficient blood supply for patients now and throughout the summer.

Blood donations often decline in the summer months, especially around summer holidays when donors are less available to give. The need for blood doesn’t decrease, though – every two seconds, someone in the U.S. requires blood or platelets. In fact, a recent survey of Red Cross blood and platelet donors showed nearly half knew someone who needed blood or they needed blood themselves.

“Donating blood helps save lives and can affect people you know and work alongside every day,” said Scott Nethery, whose 7-year-old daughter Audrey requires frequent transfusions. She was

Caring

born with Diamond Blackfan anemia, a rare condition in which her body doesn’t make enough red blood cells. “I am so appreciative of the individuals whose blood is within my daughter at this very moment.

Without blood, my little angel would not be with us today.”

Donors of all blood types are needed now. Schedule an appointment to give blood by downloading the free Red Cross blood donor app, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 800-733-2767.

Upcoming opportunities: • From 9 a.m.–3 p.m. July 13 at Creston High School, 601 W. Townline St. in Creston • From 11 a.m.–5 p.m. July 12 at First Christian Church, 201 W. Monroe St. in Mount Ayr • From 11 a.m.–5 p.m. July 6 at Methodist Church, 124 S. Maple St. in Orient

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, July 6, 2016

1776 was Amexit Two hundred and forty years before Brexit, there was Amexit, also known as the American Revolution.

In terms of historical consequence, the Brexit vote and the American Revolution don’t occupy the same universes, but they are connected by a belief in popular sovereignty and a refusal to be governed by a remote authority with only an attenuated mechanism — if that — for representation.

In Brexit, the British people decided that their Parliament should trump the governing machinery of the EU, and in our Revolution we decided that our Colonial assemblies should trump the governing machinery of the British Empire. Both acts exhibited a punctiliousness about government by consent that struck critics as unreasonable and even dangerous.

The Revolution fed off popular passions that shocked and embarrassed some Colonial elites who

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

were more cautious about separating from Britain, in an echo of the elite reaction to Brexit. John Adams pushed back against the “sneers and snubbs” directed at “the multitude, the million, the populace, the vulgar, the mob, the herd and the rabble, as the great always delight to call them.” (I’m in the debt of the magisterial new book “Toward Democracy,” for this and other quotes.)

If the pro-Brexit forces seem overly touchy about British sovereignty, consider the sensitivity of the architects of the American Revolution. They believed that if government merely has the leeway to rule arbitrarily, it is already tyrannical. It is necessary, Adams warned, to “nip the

shoots of arbitrary power in the bud.”

The Founders sought to protect the bedrock principle that the people, again the words of Adams, are “the Source of all Authority and Original of all Power.” Alexander Hamilton wrote that “the only distinction between slavery and freedom” is whether man is governed either “by the will of another,” or “by the laws to which he has given his consent.”

By this standard, the case against the British Parliament was highly intuitive: Members of Parliament didn’t live in the Colonies, and the colonists didn’t elect them. If the arguments were often complex -- could Parliament impose “external” taxes, but not “internal” ones? -- the crux of the matter wasn’t. Benjamin Franklin wrote as early as 1768 that either “parliament has the right to make all laws for us,” or “it has the power to make no laws for us.”

When it came, the American Revolution was a very British affair. Its supporters cited British writers like John Locke and Algernon Sidney; long- standing liberties under the informal British constitution; and their own rights as Englishmen. “Perhaps there was never a people,” Samuel Adams wrote, “who discovered themselves more strongly attached to their natural and constitutional rights and liberties than the British Colonists on this American Continent.”

History didn’t come full circle, but it did look over its shoulder when a leading advocate of Brexit, the Tory politician Michael Gove, cited the American Revolution as inspiration for Britain’s separation from the EU. Of course, the circumstances are vastly different. The EU didn’t suspend the British Parliament. It isn’t sending a fearsome fleet across the Channel to crush all resistance and to hunt down Nigel Farage, leader of the U.K.

Independence Party, and have him hanged (although some EU officials might harbor this fantasy). Britain obviously didn’t become a newly independent nation upon the passage of Brexit.

But the Brexit vote is a reminder that the threat to self-government never truly abates; it just takes different (and more or less benign or noxious) forms. This is why self-government always needs to be jealously and zealously guarded — something our forefathers understood and acted upon.

Levi Preston, a captain at the Battle of Concord, explained decades later why he had fought: “What we meant in going for those redcoats was this: We had always governed ourselves, and we always meant to. They didn’t mean we should.” It’s a sentiment as relevant now as it was more than 200 years ago — and will always remain so as long as men yearn to be free.

Letter to the editor Congrats to community kids

By Michael Phillips Creston

I’d just like to say a big thanks to the young teams that make Creston proud this year. The softball, baseball and soccer teams and tennis leagues are re-

ally growing this year. I think the young kids of the community really need some encouragement and approval from their parents and the community.

If this community is going to grow, it will need all of their kids and more to make it happen.

Editor’s note: This is a monthly column prepared by the Iowa Public Information Board to update Iowans on the IPIB’s activities and provide information on some of the issues routinely addressed by the board.

Question: Are the names of individuals volunteering for a government body confidential pursuant to Iowa Code section 22.7(18)?

Answer: No. The Iowa Public Information Board (IPIB) ruled on June 16, 2016, that a government body cannot claim under Iowa Code section 22.7(18) that records listing the names of volunteers are confidential records.

The IPIB reviewed two complaints filed against a public hospital. The hospital had declined to release the names of its volunteers, citing Iowa Code section 22.7(18) as grounds for determining the records were confidential. This section protects “communications not required by law, rule, procedure or contract that are made to a government body ... by identified persons outside of government if the government body could “reasonably believe that those persons would be discouraged”

from making such communications if made public.

In discussing the issue, members of the IPIB noted that this section continues to state that “persons outside of government” did not include persons who communicate with respect to a contractual relationship.

In this instance, the hospital required certain written agreements from the volunteers and maintained records of such to ensure that each volunteer met health, safety and training requirements prior to allowing a person to volunteer.

Discussion also touched upon the provisions of Iowa Code section 22.7(11) which allows employee personnel records to remain confidential. That code section specifically directs that certain information must be released, including the names and dates of employment. The IPIB determined that volunteer records should be disclosed in a similar manner.

Lawful custodians of a record or any person who would be aggrieved or adversely affected by the release of a volunteer record may still seek an injunction restraining the examination or

copying of the record through an action pursuant to Iowa Code section 22.8.

Opinions, rulings, FAQs, monthly columns and training documents are available on the IPIB website – www.ipib.iowa. gov. Questions for the IPIB can be posted on the website or by calling 515-725-1781.

Who can contact the IPIB and how long does it take?

Any person can contact the IPIB for assistance by telephone, by email or on the website. So far, in 2016, 445 identifiable people have contacted the IPIB. Of these, 45 percent were private citizens, 42 percent were government officials or employees, and 13 percent were members of the media.

In the month of June 2016, 67 percent of the incoming contacts were resolved the same day, 14 percent were resolved in one to five days and 19 percent were resolved in six or more days.

The types of contacts for the month of June were formal complaints - 10, advisory opinions - 2, declaratory orders - 0, informal complaints - 8, informal requests - 52 and miscellaneous - 0, for a total of 72.

Is this casserole all cracked up?

Dear Heloise: I often see BREAKFAST CASSEROLE RECIPES where you refrigerate the pan overnight and then bake the next morning. However, none of the recipes say to let the pan sit awhile before putting it in the oven. Won’t a glass pan crack if it’s put into the oven directly from the fridge? I’m asking because I don’t want to end up cleaning cooked eggs off my oven walls and floor. – Kathy M., via email You’re right! It’s rare to see a recipe that tells you to do this. However, a major glassware manufacturer states that you should pull a dish out of the refrigerator and allow it to warm up for 15 minutes before placing it in the oven. Also, don’t place the glassware in an oven that is preheated above 425 degrees F. It is sudden temperature changes that can cause cracking or shattering of glassware, so never take a glass pan directly from freezer to oven. Instead, thaw the dish overnight in the refrigerator for cooking the next day. – Heloise

I then sealed the package and put it back in the refrigerator. I didn’t use it often, so after a while, the bacon wouldn’t look so appetizing, and it had to be trashed. I finally solved the problem.

I spread a length of plastic wrap on the counter.

I take one slice and place it at the end of the plastic and fold the plastic over the slice.

The second slice is placed on top of the first (separated by the plastic), and I fold the wrap over that slice. I place it in a plastic zipper-top bag and squeeze out the air. The package is put in the freezer and stored until needed. It’s very simple to remove one or more of the slices. No more discarded bacon! – Paul K., Oak Park, Calif.

MAKING PANCAKES

Dear Heloise: Two hints that I use when making buckwheat pancakes from a mix and frying them on a nonstick griddle: 1. Measure the vegetable oil first, then use the same spoon for the honey. It slides right off.

2. Rub cold butter on the cold griddle before heating. It coats the surface and doesn’t pool.

Horoscope For Thursday, July 7, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Something unexpected might occur at home today that shakes up your world. As a result, arguments with authority figures might occur. Pull in your reins and be diplomatic with everyone.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Your routine will be interrupted today, definitely. Give yourself extra time for wiggle room. If not, you might bark at someone because you are frustrated.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep an eye on your finances and cash flow today, because something unexpected will affect them. Avoid disputes about shared property, money and debt.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a tricky day!

Because something catches you off guard, you might be so frazzled that you end up having an argument with a friend or a partner. Chill out.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Something going on behind the scenes is unpredictable today. Feelings of uncertainty could make you impatient with others. Stay frosty.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22)Because someone might say or do something unusual, this could lead to a dispute, especially with a member of a group. For your own good, count to three before you respond.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Even though you’re unhappy with a decision made by someone, avoid arguments with bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police today. You will lose more ground than you gain.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because they will become embroiled.

Meanwhile, travel plans will be canceled or changed. Crazy day!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Double-check your bank account, because something unexpected might be going on. (You might be overdrawn, or worse.) Quarrels about shared property and debt might occur.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a dicey day to deal with partners and close friends.

Even if you practice patience, you might encounter conflicts with others. Solution? Be cool.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Power struggles might

arise with a co-worker today.

This could be due to equipment breakdowns, canceled meetings or something unexpected. Don’t lose your cool.

Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Parents will have to be patient with their kids today. Likewise, romantic partners need to be patient with each other, because today is full of intense energy!

YOU BORN TODAY You want to reveal the truth of things to others. You will do

this even if you have to use shock value. Finally! It’s the year you have been waiting for, because you are ready for change. Take advantage of opportunities that present themselves. Expect a major change, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2006.

It’s time to test your future!

Bedford Specialty Care earns 2016 Bronze National Quality Award BEDFORD – Bedford Specialty Care has been recognized as a 2016 recipient of the Bronze – Commitment to Quality Award for its dedication to improving the lives of residents through quality care.

The award is the first of three distinctions possible through the National Quality Award Program, presented by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL), the leading association for long-term and post-acute care. The program honors providers across the nation that have demonstrated their commitment to improving quality of care for seniors and people with disabilities.

“We are very excited to receive this honor,” said Administrator Bo Conard. “It has been a lot of hard work but very well worth it. We will continue down this path as a focused effort by our staff and for our residents. Dedicated employees providing quality care to our residents is what we do best, and we are committed to continuing on this quality journey.”

Implemented by AHCA/ NCAL in 1996, the National Quality Award Program is centered on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, which is the foundation of the metric-based AHCA/ NCAL Quality Initiative. The program assists providers of long-term and post-acute care services in achieving their performance excellence goals.

The program has three levels: bronze, silver, and gold.

Providers begin the quality improvement process at the bronze level, where they develop an organizational profile with essential perfor-

Miscues, walks cost Creston baseball in Tuesday loss

By RYAN KRONBERG lead with a run in the first.

CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

WINTERSET—Creston had opportunities to battle back, but ultimately miscues cost the Panthers in a 10-5 loss at Winterset in non-conference baseball.

The Panthers committed four errors and three pitchers combined to allow 10 walks.

“We followed up walks with errors,” said Creston coach Steve Birchard. “You can’t do that against a good team. We learned that’s what cost us.

Winterset took the early

Creston countered with a run in the second, but Winterset pulled ahead with a run in the fourth.

The Panthers allowed five runs on three walks and two errors in the fifth.

Creston countered with four in the top of the sixth, but Winterset answered with a three-spot in the bottom of the sixth.

“We got it going there,” Birchard said. “Then they had their half of the fifth and got five. We came back and scored four, but then we gave up three in the sixth.

That kept us from making a threat in the seventh.”

Creston outhit Winterset 7-6.

Brenden McDowell was 2-for-3 and drove in Birchard three runs.

Jaden Driskell was 1-for-2.

Dustin Merritt was 1-for-3 with a run batted in. Chase Shiltz was 1-for-2 with a run batted in. Michael Scherer, Cody Crawford, Shiltz, Kadon Hulett and Garret Dahl each scored a run.

“We were swinging the bats OK,” Birchard said.

Hot, humid conditions

made life difficult for pitchers on both teams.

“It was sweaty,” Birchard said. “Pitchers couldn’t find their grip. They struggled to get the ball across. It was the same for everybody.”

McDowell pitched fourplus innings and took the loss. He allowed three earned runs, walked five and struck out one. Crawford pitched an inning and onethird. He allowed three hits, seven runs, three earned, walked five and struck out one.

Creston fell to 13-12 on the season.

The Panthers are back on the diamond Thursday host-

ing Lewis Central in a Hawkeye 10 Conference doubleheader.

Thursday, all Creston Little League baseball players are encouraged to attend the game. Game one starts at 5:30 p.m. Players will be recognized, and nine will have thier names drawn to stand with a varsity player during pre-game introductions prior to the start of the second game.

Hot bats power Murray past Mount Ayr

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Murray’s offense went into a bit of a funk in the later part of the final week of the regular season.

The lack of runs in a couple of games had Lady Mustangs coach Danny Jensen concerned heading into Tuesday’s Class 1A Region 6 first-round matchup with Mount Ayr. Murray’s offense came alive consistently throughout, leading to an 12-2, six-inning win.

Murray, 24-7, advances to face Wayne, Corydon, tonight in the regional quarterfinal. Wayne, 23-8, advanced with a 11-1 win over Seymour.

First pitch tonight is set for 7 p.m.

Corydon.

The Lady Mustangs were held to two runs in a 4-2 loss to Martensdale-St. Marys at the Mount Ayr Classic on Wednesday. The Mustang bats disappeared in a 2-1 loss to Moravia Friday.

Murray rose to the challenge Tuesday. The Lady Mustangs pounded out 17 hits. They had at least two hits in five of their six trips at bat.

Four hits went for extra bases.

Breianna Klein had three of the extra base hits. She ripped a pair of doubles and blasted a three-run,

game-ending home run in the sixth.

“We’d been in a slump the last few games. We haven’t been able to reach the long hit,” Klein said. “We were on fire. We were able to do this.”

Murray tallied two in the first, then pushed three more across in the third and fourth, scored a run in the fifth and ended it with four in the sixth.

“Finally,” Jensen said. “It had been a rough week there.”

The Lady Mustangs had a bit of adversity in the middle innings. A family emergency forced starting catcher Brandi Gilbert to leave the game in the third inning, with Murray clinging to a 5-1 lead.

Freshman Kelli Romero stepped in and filled in over the final four innings.

The heat and humidity took a toll on both teams.

Mount Ayr was the beneficiary of a slick ball in the first. A wild pitch allowed a run to score with two outs for the Raiderettes.

It was the tone Mount Ayr had to set right away.

“We talked about that was the idea,” said Mount Ayr coach Bret Ruggles. “We hoped to get one or two in the first inning.

Wolverine softball advances with 6-3 victory

By LARRY PETERSON Shantz to double up Sierra fifth.

CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD — With one swing of the bat, a brewing threat by the Grand View Christian softball team turned into a game-ending double play as Nodaway Valley advanced in a Class 1A Region 2 opener here Tuesday night.

In the top of the seventh inning, trailing 6-3, the Thunder had the tying run come to the plate after Emma Saylor’s liner glanced off the glove of Wolverine pitcher Paige McElfish for the second hit of the inning.

Karly Summy also connected on a sharp liner, this time to McElfish’s right. The Wolverine hurler reached out to glove the second out, then wheeled and threw to second baseman Keely

Tarbell, who had led off the inning with a single to left.

Suddenly, Grand View Christian’s season came to a close at 12-11, and the region’s third-seeded Wolverines, 17-16, advanced to tonight’s 5:30 p.m. game at second-seeded Glidden-Ralston in Glidden.

McElfish started another double play earlier in the game after snaring a liner, and tied the game 1-1 with a solo home run blasted over the center field fence in the second inning.

“It was a pretty pitch, just a little outside,” McElfish said of the pitch she smashed on a 3-2 count for her 12th homer of the season. She is batting .500 and now has 44 runs batted in. She was intentionally walked twice and added a single to lead off the Power source

“Paige is really a good hitter,” Nodaway Valley coach Ray Stewart said. “Early on she wasn’t as sharp with her pitching as she was later in the game. (Right fielder) Riley Lonsdale had a heck of a game. Probably her best game of the year.”

McElfish allowed seven hits and finished with eight strikeouts, three walks and a hit batter. She didn’t issue any free passes in the final NV | 8A CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON

Nodaway Valley’s Paige McElfish connects for a solo home run to center field that tied the game 1-1 in the second inning of Tuesday’s regional game in Greenfield. McElfish had two hits, including her 12th homer of the season, and was the winning pitcher in the Wolverines’ 6-3 victory.

Eagles softball fights to the very end

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

AFTON — East Union had lost the previous two times it had played Mormon Trail this season. The Eagles played the Saints even better than the previous two times but still fell short, dropping a 7-5 decision in the Class 2A Region 8 opener.

“If we’re going to go out, at least we went out on a night where we fought hard, we were in the game until the end, and we had opportunities to win,” said East Union coach Jason Riley.

The Eagles put their foot in the pedal in the first inning as they started as the away team despite playing in Afton. Six singles amounted to three runs as Callie Gossman and Olivia Eckels both drilled run-scoring base hits.

The Saints got a run back in the third when a long Gracie Hitt triple scored Kaylee Palmer. Mormon Trail tied the game in the fourth after an Ashley Glenn run-scoring single and a slow grounder back to pitcher Megan Mitchell allowed Cheyenne Williams to score.

Mormon Trail took the lead in the fourth when a Hitt double scored runners from second and third.

The 5-3 lead looked nearly enough to defeat East Union. The Eagles fought back though, and knotted the game at 5-5 in the sixth with timely-hitting. Backto-back singles from Katlin Weinkoetz and Rylee Mitchell brought home Beth McKnight and Kacie Ripperger respectively.

MURRAY: CONT. FROM | 7A

Murray had a couple of base hits, but then both runs scored on wild pitches.

“There was so much water, humidity,” Ruggles said.

“You could see the girls not getting a very good grip.

Passed balls was the story of the night.”

Breaks not going Mount Ayr’s way were another key factor.

three innings.

“I just settled down and threw more strikes,” McElfish said. “I threw a lot of balls in the first half of the game. They were picky hitters. They didn’t swing at any junk, really.”

Nodaway Valley seized control of the game with a four-run third innings, sending 10 batters to the plate in staking a 5-2 lead. Catcher Kadee Eblen atoned for a couple of earlier passed balls by stroking a two-run single.

After McElfish and Josie Clark were walked, Jessica Nelson delivered an RBI

Mormon Trail went out and earned the victory in the bottom of the sixth. Alexis Roberts started the inning with an infield single, and two batters later Payton Gwinn singled and took second on an errant throw in the infield. A run-scoring single

by Williams and a mistake on an errant throw by Alissa Weinkoetz at third each allowed a run to score to get to the final tally of 7-5.

The Eagles went in order in the top of the seventh to end the game.

Ripperger, Katlin Weinkoetz, Gossman and Rylee Mitchell all had two hits in the game.

Mitchell worked out of several bases loaded jams and pitched five innings but took a no-decision. Jayden Welcher pitched the fifth and sixth for East Union.

“I think it really shows leadership and how we don’t want to give up…we fight to the end,” Katlin Weinkoetz said.

For Katlin Weinkoetz, Shaylee Cooper and Angie Lopez, their time at East Union is complete.

The Eagles were already a program full of youth, with four eighth graders and two freshmen set to letter this year.

“When you play that many young girls, you feel bad for the seniors that this is their going out party, but for the rest of them, are we better than we were yesterday? And with as many young girls that we play and as many we’ve lettered, the future I think looks pretty good,” Riley said.

“We fought hard and I just

erettes had runners at first and second with no out when Tessa Shields stepped into the box. Shields ripped a shot to the warning track in left field, but Murray’s Kendra Boles was there to make the catch for the out.

Mount Ayr was held scoreless that inning.

“We needed the ball to bounce about maybe three or four times our way and we didn’t get any of them,” Ruggles said. “If Tess gets that, it gets by them, it’s 5-3, maybe 5-4 and it’s a different game.”

Murray capitalized with three in the bottom of the inning to turn a 5-1 lead into an 8-1 advantage.

Mount Ayr’s season concludes at 17-12. The Raiderettes lose one senior in Maddie Mobley.

“I was very happy with our year,” Ruggles said. “They won nine games last year.

The girls had a tough season. For them to come back and get 17 was huge for us.

We doubled a lot of our offensive stats. We doubled our defensive stats. Maddie Mobley did a fantastic job as

single to right field. Grand View Christian also had a throwing error at third leading to a run.

“We’ve had good hitting from the middle of the order all year,” Stewart said.

“We’ll need more of that tomorrow, and it would be good not to fall behind right out of the chute like we’ve done so many times.”

Glidden-Ralston (18-6) is on a roll recently with the return of senior pitcher Lauren Mahlberg (10-1), who pitched in the state tournament two years ago. She missed several games after a collision on a popup with her sister, catcher Kristin Mahlberg. But in the past two games she has allowed

two hits and struck out 30 batters.

In 70 innings, Mahlberg has allowed only 25 hits with 25 walks and 131 strikeouts with a 1.00 ERA. “We have to play our game, eliminate errors and hit the ball,” McElfish said.

Summer party themes that sizzle (BPT) - Patriotic celebrations, neighborhood block parties, graduations, bridal showers and family reunions - whatever your summer soiree, a creative theme can elevate any gathering from fun to fantastic. If you’ve done the usual - luau, ethnic and red-white-and-blue - and are looking for motifs that will really make a splash, here are six unique themes and some ideas for implementing them with style this season: 1. Star-spangled movie night Summer patriotic celebrations can be pretty formulaic if you just serve burgers and hot dogs while watching fireworks on TV. But merge patriotism with film, and you can create a memorable, magical party. Break out the red-whiteand-blue bunting, rent some velvet ropes and stanchions like you see in a theater, pick up a projector, screen and popcorn machine from your local rental store, and spend the day reveling in patriotic-themed movies.

Your local rental store has everything you need to create a star-spangled movie night. Find a rental store at rentalhq.com. Not sure what to show? “Captain America” and “Independence Day” are thrill rides that both kids and adults will love. Or, tug at the heart strings with sportsthemed, all-American movies like “Miracle” and “Field of Dreams.”

2. A day at the carnival Whether you’re looking for an inspired block party idea or a kid’s birthday party theme that will leave parents and children talking about it until winter break, you can’t beat a carnival theme for summer fun! Serve up traditional carnival fare - rented hot dog and popcorn machines will come in handy - and break out the carnival games. From favorites like the ring toss, dart/balloon board and duck ponds, to inflatable bounce houses and dunk tanks, you can rent carnival games to create a one-of-a-kind backyard event.

3. Summer snacking soiree Beach time, vacation, warm weather and sunshine are all lovely aspects of summer, but let’s face it - summer snacks are the highlight of the season. Adults and kids alike will love a menu that highlights some of their favorite warm-weather snacks. Set up a s’mores station with graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate bars and a camp fire (under adult supervision, of course). Place popcorn, hot dog, frozen drink and ice cream machines around the backyard.

Celebrate summer fruits like watermelon and avocado with creative recipes like watermelon fruit pops, fruit bruschetta, fruit skewers and hummus/guacamole dip.

4. Whacky water world When the temperatures soar, everyone loves some water fun. Invite guests to bring their bathing attire and visit your backyard for some whacky water fun. Fill balloons with water and hang them from a tree branch to create a wet, wild pinata. Rent an inflatable water slide, a misting fan, dunk tank and bubble machine. As guests arrive, equip each with a water gun. Have plenty of water barrels around the yard for quick refills and don’t forget to have plenty of towels on hand.

5. Karaoke dance-off Dance party or karaoke - which musical theme should you choose? Why not combine the themes and give your guests a chance to belt out their favorites while their friends shake it on the dance floor? Your local rental store

can provide the karaoke machine, juke box and dance floor - your guests bring their creativity.

Escalate the fun and add a touch of competition by inviting guests to dress and perform in the musical style that was in fashion when they graduated high school (or kindergarten or grade school for younger attendees).

6. Stadium day Watching the big game together is a great party theme any time of year. Add a singularly summery element to your game day celebration by staging it outdoors in a homemade stadium setting. You can rent bleachers and

a big screen to make guests feel like they’re right there in the stadium as they’re watching the game together. Add in food machines to make traditional stadium fare like hot dogs, nachos, popcorn and burgers. Decorate with banners, pennants and flags. Set up a portable bar beside the bleachers and you’re all set for a stadium-style experience in your own backyard.

Creative themes can add fresh excitement to virtually any summer gathering. To find a rental store with everything you need to execute a unique theme, visit www.rentalhq.com.

what’s cookin’ in HEALTHY III Plan ahead for this pancake recipe - the batter needs to rest overnight in the refrigerator to thicken up and create the hearty, tender pancakes. These cheesy zucchini bites are a healthier zucchini fritter since they are baked and not fried. Smakelijk eten!

OVERNIGHT OATMEAL CINNAMON PANCAKES 2 cups quick oatmeal 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg 3/4 cup whole wheat flour 1/4 cup honey 1 tsp. baking soda 2 large eggs 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. vanilla 1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 2 1/2 cups buttermilk Prepare the batter the night before you want to make these! In a large bowl mix the oatmeal, flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the honey, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk and mix until the batter is well-combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (or mix it in a container with a lid) and refrigerate overnight.

The next morning give the batter a good, quick stir to combine. It should be fairly thick. Heat an electric griddle or skillet on the stovetop over medium-low to medium heat. These pancakes need to cook for longer than traditional pancakes so you don’t want the pan so hot they burn. If needed, spray the griddle or skillet with cooking spray. Drop 1/4 cup rounds of batter into the preheated griddle or skillet. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are very set and bubbles are popping on the surface (again, make sure your griddle isn’t too hot or the bottoms will burn for this length of time). Quickly slide a flat spatula underneath and flip the pancakes making sure they are set before flipping. Cook for another minute or so until they are cooked through. Serve warm with desired pancake toppings.

Buttermilk substitute: You will need a cup of milk. Choose ONE of the following to stir into the cup of milk: 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon white vinegar or 1/2 tablespoon cream of tartar. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before using. For another option, whisk together 3/4 cup plain yogurt with 1/4 cup milk.

BAKED CHEESY ZUCCHINI BITES 1 1/2 cups packed shredded zucchini (no need to peel the zucchini) 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1/4 - 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1/4 cup panko or regular bread crumbs

1/4 tsp. dried basil (or 1-2 tsp. fresh) 1/4 tsp. garlic powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. pepper

Preheat the oven to 425°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray or lightly grease an unlined baking sheet.

Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and wring out all the excess water over the sink until the zucchini is really dry. Place the zucchini and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until combined.

Drop the mixture by tablespoonfuls on the prepared baking sheet and lightly press the mounds with your hands to flatten slightly. Bake for 16-20 minutes until the edges are golden. Makes 2-3 dozen zucchini bites. what’s cookin’ in kyp’s kitchen sponsored by:
