Pictured is the new park office and maintenance shed at Green Valley State Park. The office and shed were transitioned to Green Valley State Park in mid-June, after the previous buildings were demolished and the new buildings were assembled. Inside the building is an open vestibule for patrons to get information, open office space for employees, bathroom, closet and break room.

About two months ago, Alan Carr, park ranger at Green Valley State Park, and his fellow employees were finally able to use an upgraded park office and attached maintenance shed located west of the campgrounds.

“The (Iowa State) Parks Bureau aims to update park facilities, like a couple park buildings, throughout the state. We were just really lucky to be selected to be one of the parks to be renovated recently,” said Daniel Stull, park technician with Green Valley State Park.

Construction on the office and shed began in October 2015, when the previous park office was demolished, as well as buildings housing an old shop, district storage shed, which was relocated to Cold Springs State Park in Lewis, and small wood shed located near the gravel parking lot.

This came after a decision from Iowa State Parks Bureau to build a new park office with attached shed, as well as fixing a cold-storage shed, instead of erecting the new buildings separately.

Green Valley State Park is about 60 years old, about the same age as other state parks across the state. This means a lot of other state

parks are also vying for money from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to do improvements.

“Our other buildings were definitely showing their age.

The floors in them were degrading and cracked. It wasn’t flat anymore, so it was a hazard,” Carr said. “The building itself was going to need some m a j o r r e p a i r s . Carr ... It’s a much safer environment now.”

Green Valley State Park took possession of the new

buildings in mid-June. Because summer is the busy season for the park and campground, employees have not quite updated the park office.

“It was a pretty big project with the shop facility and park office,” Carr said. “It was a complete makeover of this whole complex here.”

Specs The complex of new buildings and repairs cost about $750,000 total. This project occurred during the renovation of the trails at Green Valley, as well as the installment of a new shower building and sewer repair.

More than $165,000 in security upgrades will be installed in the Creston Community School District buildings, the school board decided Monday.

In July, the board approved a bid for a new security camera system as part of a $600,000 security plan. Monday, the board approved a bid of $86,987.51 for a new telephone system and $79,724 bid to install access controls to the district’s buildings.

Access controls will be installed on six doors at Creston Elementary/Middle School, seven doors at the high school and seven doors at the administration building.

“The main entries will be buzzer doors and a few additional doors will be electronic fob entry for staff,” McDermott said. “Sensors will be put on all other exterior doors so that back at the home computer, we can tell McDermott if doors have been left open or propped open.

That’s for every door in the district.”

Some doors will be capped, meaning the keyhole will now have a metal cap placed over the top of it, restricting entry through that door.

Keys will no longer be used at all. Instead, people will need either an electronic fob to enter through a door or they will need to buzz in at the main entrances.

Installation on the exterior door controls will begin shortly after school starts with a target completion date of Oct. 31.

The new security camera system approved at the July board meeting will be installed in a two- or threephase transition with the first phase of installation targeted for completion by the end of November.

The exterior door controls and security cameras will work together.

“I’ll be able to sit this evening and pull up any camera view in any building and see it on my phone,” McDermott said. “And, (Creston Police Chief) Paul Ver Meer and his staff will be able to do the same thing.”

“That will be nice, because if you got a call and said it looks like something’s going on, you’ll be able to check it out,” said Galen Zumbach, Creston school board member.

Judge tosses flag desecration charge; was pipeline protest DES MOINES (AP) — A flag desecration charge was dropped Monday for a man who protested a crude oil pipeline that crosses his property by hanging an American flag upside down at his home, online court records show.

Homer Martz, 63, was charged Friday under a state law that makes it illegal to defile, cast contempt upon, satirize or deride a flag. That law, however, was declared unconstitutional by a federal judge in December 2014 and state prosecutors were told not to enforce it.

The law, which lawmakers

have not removed from the books, says law enforcement officers have a duty “to enforce the provisions of this chapter, and for failure to do so they may be removed as by law provided.”

Calhoun County Attorney Tina Meth Farrington filed a motion to dismiss the charge Monday, saying that she read the 2014 federal ruling and concluded she shouldn’t pursue the charge.

“The Legislature should take immediate action to repeal this law so that other citizens and law enforcement FLAG | 2A

A judge approved the motion Monday afternoon.

Calhoun County Sheriff William Davis said that at the time Martz was arrested he and the two arresting officers were unaware the law had been struck down.

The American flag was hanging upside down on a flagpole underneath a Chinese flag at Martz’s home, and a sign on the flagpole under the flags said: “In China there is no freedom, no protesting, no due process.

plywood on either side of blocks of six-inch-thick Styrofoam. The pieces were shipped to and assembled on site. The cost was the same as building a concrete park office, but the materials make it more energy efficient.

“It holds together pretty well. It’s actually really energy efficient,” Stull said. “It’s basically as strong as a wood frame, I believe. ... It’s a very well-insulated building with all the Styrofoam.”

The roof was installed after the walls went up. The cold-storage building is made of steel, and it was reskinned. Park employees are still in the process of transitioning into the new buildings. Carr plans to have the transition fully complete by next spring.

The park office has a vestibule open to the public for information. There’s a window for campers and visitors to get information from the employees. There’s an open office space, bathroom, closet, mechanical room and break room that doubles as meeting room. Both the park

Martz, an Army veteran, told the Fort Dodge Messenger that it was a display of protest due to frustration over having no say in the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline near the well that serves as the drinking water source for his home.

Iowa regulators have allowed the Texas-based company to build the 1,134-mile pipeline across the state and use eminent domain laws to condemn private land for it.

That decision is the subject of lawsuits filed by landowners who contend Iowa law prohibits forced condemnation by a private company.

address the problem of the flag-desecration law remaining on the books, but said law enforcement agencies also should be aware of changes in the law.

“Ultimately, law enforcement agencies are responsible for training their officers on the constitutional rights of the people they are sworn to protect, and are liable for failure to do so,” said Rita Bettis, legal director for the ACLU of Iowa.

A recent Associated Press report showed at least 40 states still have flag-desecration laws, despite two U.S. Supreme Court rulings deeming flag burning and other forms of damage constitutionally protected free speech.

Currently, there are two full-time employees, Carr and Stull, one full-time seasonal employee and several part-time employees who will benefit from the upgraded work spaces.

The next tentative project for Green Valley State Park is rebuilding the north and west silt dykes so visitors don’t get their feet wet, and doing minor road repairs.

There are also more plans to continue building the trail system, but no dates are set in stone.

“Green Valley has been very fortunate in the past few years to get some pretty big projects,” Carr said. “We just continue to encourage people to come out and enjoy the park. It’s there for them.”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, August 16, 2016

Loose change HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

CNN says an Oklahoma school teacher stunned a Careers Tech Conference awards ceremony in OKC by giving his friend – a black teacher – a KKK robe and a Confederate flag as a gag gift.

The black teacher laughed but state educators went nuts. Donald Trump has ruined comedy for everybody.

The Treasury Department complained Tuesday that there are billions of dollars in circulation in America just from change lying around people’s homes and cars that will go unspent. We need to get organized.

Late last night, Michael Phelps found an Olympic gold medal in his couch cushion.

O l y m p i c swimming gold Phelps medal legend

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Michael Phelps announced his retirement on the Today Show Monday after winning five gold medals and a silver in Rio de Janeiro. He’s going out a real hero.

As sports fans we’re lucky to still have him, given the amount of Rio pool water he’s swallowed.

Hillary Clinton lashed into Donald Trump at her speech in Scranton Monday claiming that he lacks the temperament and character to be president. She sounded happy about it. Hillary later told CNN she felt she had a good day, but then any day out of jail is a good day for Hillary Clinton.

The Olympics were marred over the weekend when the water in the diving pool turned

green with a rancid smell and had to be drained and refilled. Officials explained that chemistry is not an exact science. That’s true, ask anyone who has ever blown up the trailer while cooking crystal meth.

The Gallup Poll says Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have the highest negatives of any two presidential candidates in history. They’re simply amazing. Trump and Hillary have done what no Clinton one thought anybody could do, they’ve made Americans hungry for any news about the Kardashians.

Hillary Clinton cited her huge lead over Donald Trump in Pennsylvania polls Monday during her speech in Scranton. There were a lot of high-fives in the room. The Democrats are so confident of

winning this election, they’re going to release President Obama’s original Kenyan birth certificate.

Donald Trump was cheered by a friendly crowd in Ohio when he introduced his immigration vetting plan Monday. The mood of the room could be summed up in one sentence. Our ancestors did not come all the way to America from the British Isles for this place to be overrun by immigrants.

Donald Trump used a Teleprompter to give a foreign policy speech in Ohio Monday in which he laid out his specific plans for national security. He went for an en- Trump tire hour without insulting Mexicans, Muslims or Asians. He’s doing much better since Mel Gibson introduced him to The Patch.

Donald Trump declared war Sunday on the media, which he says has been sabotaging his candidacy since the GOP convention.

He remains undaunted. Sometimes the Trump campaign reminds me of the captain’s thumbsup to the newsreel cameras just before the Hindenberg took off.

Iran released a video of U.S. hostages being released after the cash on the U.S. cargo plane was unloaded, belying the U.S. claim it wasn’t ransom. Iran can embarrass us with impunity. Once oil dipped below $40 a barrel Iran became not worth the invasion under the Cheney Doctrine.

Milwaukee rioted for a third night after black protests erupted when a black cop killed a black suspect who wouldn’t drop his gun. The protestors need to remember Milwaukee is overwhelmingly German. They must ask themselves if a few flat-screen TVs are really worth waking up Frankenstein.

Creston is a lovely city

by Alane Watkins Foster City, California

As a RAGBRAI rider, I think the city of Creston went above and beyond to make RAGBRAI a wonderful experience.

You have a beautiful city – the streets, homes and downtown areas are lovely! I especially enjoyed the

artistic murals on the buildings. It’s nice to see towns like Creston that leverage assets like the wonderful depot that you have and the talents of those who live in the area.

Thank you to the community for not only hosting RAGBRAI, but also maintaining a place where everyone would want to live. I hope Creston is an overnight town again soon.

Tim Pool is a fearless social-media reporter who specializes in getting close to the action. It almost doesn’t qualify as a protest or a riot if Pool isn’t live-streaming from the streets.

But he is pulling out of Milwaukee because it is too dangerous for white people.

In a carefully stated YouTube video, Pool described the verbal taunts and threats, as well as actual violence, directed at whites.

After an 18-year-old male was shot in the neck and extracted by Milwaukee police in an armored vehicle – Pool identifies the victim as white, although other press reports don’t mention his race – he concluded he had to leave. (For the record, Pool is half Korean – not that rioters care.)

The Milwaukee unrest has taken on a more explicitly racist cast than other riots after officer-involved shootings, in yet another new low for the anti-police movement that has roiled our cities in recent years. After Ferguson, the movement famously adopted the slogan “Hands up, don’t shoot.”

In other officer-involved shootings or deaths that have occasioned unrest, there has at least been a colorable case that the police acted wrongfully. In Milwaukee, a black officer shot an armed man, 23-year-old Sylville Smith, who by all accounts ran from his car after a traffic stop and defied an order to drop his (stolen) gun. The officer wore a body camera, and the

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

police chief says the video shows Smith raising his gun before the cop shot him dead.

Presumably we will see the entire video and know more soon enough, but it’s not hard to believe that Smith was capable of recklessly threatening the officer. His long rap sheet is the story, in microcosm, of why inner-city communities are so miserably unlivable, and need to be policed so intensely.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Smith had been “arrested or ticketed nine times” since 2011, including for a shooting, a robbery, carrying a concealed weapon, theft, and possession of heroin and cocaine. He beat a shooting rap at a jury trial in 2015 when a witness recanted, allegedly after Smith intimidated him.

It is this criminality that is a constant, oppressive threat to black lives. Smith’s mother says her son got his gun because he had been shot twice and robbed four times. Three people were murdered last weekend within blocks of where the officer shot Smith on Saturday afternoon, and five people were killed in total over a nine-hour period Friday night and Saturday morning. The routine carnage is, of

course, never the occasion for rioting.

Law enforcement should treat everyone professionally and respectfully, and be held responsible when it doesn’t. There are useful reforms to make the police more accountable, such as the body cameras that now loom so large in controversial cases. But the Milwaukee disorder is another stark illustration of how often the agitation over police-involved shootings fades into a noxious nihilism, heedless of the facts or reason.

Burning down neighborhood business establishments, throwing bricks at cops, trashing police cars and chasing white people – all features of the Milwaukee riots – may feel good, but they are simply more symptoms of the social breakdown that police are asked to respond to every day.

Even if the cops conduct themselves perfectly in such communities, there will inevitably be tensions and tragedies that don’t occur in more orderly places where young men aren’t so often the perpetrators – and victims – of crime.

The deeper question in the debate over policing is how we can keep the lives of so many young men like Sylville Smith from sliding off the rails. But trying to answer it doesn’t hold the satisfaction of smashing windows, or provide ready fodder for cable TV debates. And so the beat, drearily, goes on.

Broadway’s best to light up Coney Island at Elsie Fest NEW YORK (AP) — This fall, the famous Coney Island boardwalk will host some special hot dogs with a Broadway flavor.

The second annual Elsie Fest, a one-day outdoor music festival celebrating theater stars, is set for Sept. 5 at the 5,000-seat Ford Amphitheater, offering a new location and a new slate of singers.

This year’s performers include Megan Hilty, Tituss Burgess, Darren Criss, Evan Rachel Wood, composer Jason Robert Brown, Tony-winner Lena Hall, Corey Cott, Tony-winner Cynthia Erivo, radio host Julie James and the composing team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

“There is truly nothing else like this festival,” said Criss,

the “Glee” star who helped create the festival. “There was this yearning for something like this that just kind of made it easy. The meat just kind of fell off the bone.”

Burgess, a Broadway star currently on “The UnBreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” will be in Coney Island for the first time, but last week still wasn’t sure what he’ll be singing. “I’m going to see what is nearest and closest to my energy and that’s probably what I’ll be able to execute best.”

The concert is the brainchild of Criss, talent manager Ricky Rollins, and Broadway producer and Jujamcyn Theaters President Jordan Roth.

Last year’s festival drew some 4,000 people to a midtown pier. Tickets start at $60.

The name comes from lyrics in the musical “Cabaret” about a doomed girl named Elsie who would turn to the heroine Sally Bowles and ask: “What good is sitting alone in your room?/ Come hear the music play/ Life is a cabaret, old chum.”

“It’s about an experience to me. Like any festival. It’s not just the concert,” said Criss. “We’re really working on building that out as much as possible to make it a fullon experience and not just a series of concerts.”

Criss, who has been on Broadway in “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” and “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” said he’s been tapping his talented friends to join the movement.

“Asking talented friends to do anything is a really humbling experience,” said Criss.

“No matter how nice people are about it, I just always feel so slimy about it. Having last year under my belt made me more confident.”

A year ago, Criss was running around so much at the event trying to make sure everything was going smoothly that he barely had time to focus on what he’d be singing.

This year, he’s going to focus on his favorite stage songs.

“I’m a fan of a lot of stuff that I’ll never be cast in, so I’m definitely going to embrace some of those songs in my set,” he said. “That’s my shot, an opportunity to perform songs I’d never get the opportunity to do otherwise.”

Larry Wilmore-hosted ‘Nightly Show’ axed by Comedy Central NEW YORK (AP) — Comedy Central’s “The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore” is coming to an end.

The late-night humor and talk show, which premiered in January 2015, will conclude its run Thursday, the network announced Monday.

The program, which filled the slot vacated by Stephen Colbert when he jumped to CBS, sought to explore current events and larger life issues as presided over by Wilmore, who previously had served as “senior black correspondent” on “The Daily Show.”

But audience acceptance of “The Nightly Show” never approached its “Daily Show” lead-in, neither during the regime of Jon Stewart nor that of his successor, Trevor Noah, who took over last September.

Comedy Central president Kent Alterman praised Wilmore and his team for “crafting a platform for underrepresented voices.” He

said the show had steadily improved, “but unfortunately it hasn’t resonated with the audience in a way that it would need to for us to continue.”

While this year’s second quarter found “The Daily Show” beaten only by NBC’s “The Tonight Show” in adults 18-to-34, logging 278,000 viewers, “The Nightly Show” retained little more than half that audience, according to Nielsen.

The 54-year-old Wilmore wrote for “In Living Color” and “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” He created “The Bernie Mac Show” (for which he shared a Peabody Award) and with Eddie Murphy co-created the animated series “The PJs.” He is a creator of the upcoming HBO comedy “Insecure,” starring Issa Rae, which premieres in October.

Colbert, who, like Wilmore, began his late-night run on “The Daily Show,” won a show of his own in 2005, produced by Stewart, as

Comedy Central’s late-night franchise expanded into the 11:30 p.m. ET half-hour. His departure in late 2014 to host CBS’ “The Late Show” was much-mourned by his devoted fans who continue to miss the bloviating commentator he portrayed on “The Colbert Report.”

With the end of “The Nightly Show,” which Stewart also produced, Comedy Central’s internet-based game show, “@Midnight with Chris Hardwick,” will air a half-hour earlier. Its current midnight slot will be filled by repeats of other Comedy Central shows.

“I’m really grateful to Comedy Central, Jon Stewart, and our fans to have had this opportunity,” Wilmore said in a statement. “But I’m also saddened and surprised we won’t be covering this crazy election, or ‘The Unblackening,’ as we’ve coined it. ...

I guess I hadn’t counted on ‘The Unblackening’ happening to my time slot as well.”

Though the end of “The Nightly Show” eliminates a rare black-hosted program from the mainstream airwaves, Alterman dismissed any suggestion that race played a role in the show’s ratings failure or that a minority host might not be considered in the future.

“We feel so solid about Trevor and what ‘The Daily Show’s’ doing,” Alterman elaborated, and noting that, at 32, Noah is a millennial “and native to the social media, multi-platform landscape,” declared that total views of “The Daily Show” across all platforms from Noah’s premiere until now are up 22 percent from what they were a year ago with Stewart as host.

As for what will permanently follow “The Daily Show,” Alterman said the network would be in no hurry to launch a replacement.

“We’re just gonna begin development and see where we go,” he said.

‘Wire’ actor Wendell Pierce loses Baton Rouge home LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Wire” and “Treme” actor Wendell Pierce’s home was destroyed by flooding in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 11 years after his childhood home was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina.

The 52-year-old Louisiana native revealed the news Sunday on Twitter.

He says the response to his loss reminded him of “the generosity given to my family during Katrina.”

Pierce’s parents’ home was damaged when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005.

Pierce, whose credits also

include “Confirmation” and “The Odd Couple,” later tweeted phone numbers for the American Red Cross and Baton Rouge Food Bank.

“I don’t know what I’m going to do,” the author of “The Wind in the Reeds” told TMZ in a video posted Monday. “I just lost everything.”

A noticeably shaken Pierce called the destruction “a private pain” in the video.

Pierce’s spokesman did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

Miller’s head-first dive at the finish line beats Felix RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — For beating Allyson Felix, Shaunae Miller gets a gold medal. Maybe they should give her a cape, too.

It took a head-first dive, Superwoman-style, for Miller to spring an Olympic upset Monday over America’s top female sprinter in the 400 meters and deny her a record fifth gold medal.

Miller, a 22-year-old from the Bahamas, took an early lead, then held off Felix’s charge along the straightaway. Neckand-neck with two steps to go, Miller sprawled and tumbled across the line to win by .07 seconds.

Now, instead of a coronation for Felix, it’s a celebration for Miller, second to the American at last year’s world championships. Her dive will go down as one of the most dramatic images we’ve seen at these, or any, Olympics.

Not that she planned it that way.

“I don’t know what happened.

My mind just went blank,” Miller said. “The only thing I was thinking (about) was the gold medal, and the next thing I know, I was on the ground.”

As Miller lay on her back, gasping for breath and maybe even stunned herself at what she’d done, Felix sat on the ground stone-faced. Ten seconds passed. Then 20.

The winner’s first clue came from the stands, not the score-

board, which showed Miller winning in 49.44 seconds, ahead of Felix and bronze medalist Shericka Jackson of Jamai- Felix ca.

A familiar voice cut through the air.

“I heard my mom screaming,” Miller said. “When I heard her screaming, I was like, ‘OK, I had to have won the race.’”

And yet, she didn’t even get the evening’s biggest roars.

Those were reserved for pole vaulter Thiago Braz da Silva, who gave Brazil its first medal in track and field by setting an Olympic record (6.03 meters) to upset world-record holder and defending champion Renaud Lavillenie of France.

In the 800 meters, David Rudisha of Kenya won a second straight gold medal, and Clayton Murphy picked up bronze for the United States.

But The Dive is what everyone will be talking about.

Starting from Lane 7, Miller expanded the lag, instead of getting gobbled up the way most women do when Felix is on the track.

Stride for stride they ran down the last 100 meters, until the last few steps. Felix, classically trained by Bobby Kersee, made a textbook lean into the finish line. Miller tried something else.

Something no coach would ever teach.

“She gave everything she had and her legs gave out at the line,” said Miller’s coach, Lance Brauman, who also works with 100-meter silver medalist Tori Bowie of the U.S. “Was not intentional.”

Then again, amazing things happen with a gold medal at stake.

While Miller jumped with her arms flailing forward, the rules say the win is determined by which athlete has any part of her torso cross the line first.

The photo finish showed Miller’s shoulder barely beat Felix to the line.

“I don’t think I ever quite had a year this tough,” Felix said, as her eyes welled with tears.

She was one of those rare athletes who had the cachet to get the Olympics to change the schedule. After winning the world championship at 400 meters last year, she put the 200400 double in her sights for the Olympics. The schedule as it was originally written made it impossible: The 200 heats were scheduled for the same evening as the 400 final.

Felix asked, and she received: The 200 heats were moved to the morning to give America’s best female sprinter a chance for the two-fer.

But she never got to the starting line in the 200. She landed awkwardly on a medicine ball while doing core work in the gym during the spring and her ankle swelled up like a balloon.

Suddenly, what once was a quest for two golds transformed into a struggle to simply make the Olympic team. She did in the 400 but not in the 200. Then, Miller showed up and handed Felix her third Olympic disappointment. This silver goes with the pair she won in 2004 and 2008 in the 200.

Even so, she became the most decorated U.S. female track star, with seven overall medals, including three in the relays. She may be lining up for the U.S. in both relays, which could bring her gold-medal count higher.

But this was Miller’s night.

The flagbearer for her country in the opening ceremonies, Miller came into the games 5 for 5 in her races this season, including Diamond League meets in Shanghai, Eugene and London.

Now she’s 6 for 6.

A wild finish to a crazy night.

It began with a downpour that stopped action in all the events and put the DJ to work, playing “Singing In The Rain,” ‘’Umbrella,” and “I Can’t Stand the Rain,” among other fare, while the fans waited out the delay.

Those who stayed got their money’s worth.

Miller ended up with a few scrapes and bruises.

“My body is kind of numb,” she said. “It’s all just burning right now.”

The pain will go away. That gold is hers forever.

Biles’ run at Olympic history ends with bronze on the beam RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Simone Biles felt her right foot slip. Then her left.

As she reached down to steady herself on the balance beam — her first visible misstep during an astonishing Olympics that includes three gold medals and some of the most boundary pushing gymnastics ever — one thought ran through her head.

“Wow, Simone, that’s five-tenths,” Biles said.

And that’s it. Nothing more. Sure, winning a record five gold medals in Rio de Janeiro would have been cool. Yet going 5 for 5 was always somebody else’s deal.

It wasn’t hers. Her only regret in earning bronze during the beam final on Monday centered on those five seconds when she found herself scrambling trying to recover from a wobbly landing following a front flip.

“I’m not disappointed in the medal that I received because anyone

would love to have a bronze at an Olympics Games,” Biles said.

“But I’m Biles disappointed in the routine that I did and not so much the whole entire routine, just the front tuck I guess. Because the rest of the routine was pretty good.”

Even if it wasn’t quite good enough to stand atop the podium for once. Her score of 14.733 ended up well behind the 15.466 put up Sanne Wevers of the Netherlands and the 15.333 “Final Five” teammate Laurie Hernandez posted while grabbing silver.

Biles won’t leave Brazil with five golds — something no female gymnast has ever done — and she’s totally OK with it.

“I think you guys want it more than I do,” Biles said matter of factly. “I just want to perform the routines that I practice.”

Biles will get one more shot Tuesday in the floor exercise final, where a victory would let her join Larisa Latynina, Vera Caslavska and Ecaterina Szabo as the only women to win four golds during an Olympic meet.

It’s heady territory for a 19-year-old, one who couldn’t help but sigh as the admitted perfectionist waited for her score to flash.

“She wasn’t happy with it,” coach Aimee Boorman said. “She doesn’t like to make mistakes.

It’s life and it happens and yes, she is human.”

Even if Biles had nailed her routine, there’s no telling if she would have matched Wevers and Hernandez. Wevers was stunning while working across the 4-inch slab of wood 4-feet off the ground, calling it the performance of her life, one that ended with a hug from Dutch King Willem-Alexander and a phone call from the prime minister.

“To be out there and do my best routine ever in such a big final was amazing,” Wevers said.

It needed to be for Wevers to edge Hernandez. The 16-year-old is the youngest member of the “Final Five” that have turned the Rio Olympic Arena into a showcase highlighting the widening gap between the U.S. women’s program and the rest of the world. Yet she hardly looked overcome by the moment as she dazzled on her favorite event while securing a seventh medal for the American women.

“I’m very comfortable when I’m up there,” Hernandez said. “It’s incredible to be able to tumble on four inches of wood.”

Something that comes second nature to Hernandez, who regularly turns any random street curb into a chance to practice. She did it on her way to the venue on Monday, helping calm any lingering jitters.

“I don’t really think

about it,” Hernandez said. “I could probably sprint on the beam if I want to.”

The medal also gave the relentlessly charismatic Hernandez a chance to step into the spotlight after national team coordinator Martha Karolyi opted to keep her budding star out of the all-around competition during qualifying.

Hernandez accepted the assignment without complaint, her voice among the loudest in the arena during Biles’ gold-clinching floor exercise. Biles returned the favor after Hernandez stuck her dismount, the two good friends laughing during the seemingly interminable wait for the score.

True stardom awaits her once she returns home, a notion Biles is vaguely aware of but trying to tune out. She still considers herself “normal” even as other Olympic athletes stop her in the village to pose for selfies or say “Hi.”

Making new memories at a most special of spots LINCOLN — There’s places that define us.

Those spots where we never forget where we were when something happened.

It could be a house, a park, a stadium or anywhere in between.

That place becomes a symbol for what happened, good or bad.

It was the afternoon of May 26, 2013.

I was at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska.

In the midst of a turbulent morning, a few turbulent weeks, I went to this hallowed patch of ground in downtown Lincoln.

It calmed me, brought a smile to my face, brought joy in the midst of what had been a difficult time.

As I stood outside North Stadium near the statue of Brook Berringer and Coach Tom Osborne, my heart was calmed, that all was

going to be alright.

If only that were the case.

Four hours later, life as I knew it ended. Horrible choices I made that most awful of nights saw my life implode around me.

My struggles with mental illness became real in a sick, new way that night.

The ugly side of the affliction I deal with on a daily basis took an awful, ugly turn.

And the place that became a symbol for that night was the stadium, and particularly the statue of Brook and coach.

In the aftermath of it all, I’ve learned how to better handle life with bi-polar depression. I’ve found a medication regiment that works, that helps me through the lows, has helped level me out. Do I still struggle with downward moments at times? Yes. But by the grace and power of Christ, I have worked to overcome this.

I know I can, and I will win my battle with mental illness.

It took me nine months to go back to Memorial Stadium. As much as I wanted to be there for the Iowa and Nebraska game that season, I knew the time wasn’t right to go back to Lincoln.

On a cold, dark January’s night after my first visit to brand new Pinnacle Bank Arena a few blocks away, I stood there at the statue trying to make peace with every-

thing as best I could.

It helped at the time, but still my heart ached. The healing process was in motion and that was the first big step.

Fifteen months later, almost two years to the day after everything, I stepped foot inside those hallowed walls once more. On a bright, sunny mid-April afternoon, I came home once more.

Sure my hometown always is, always will be Stromsburg, Nebraska, but to find my heart and soul is to go to Memorial Stadium.

I kept myself composed on the outside, but on the inside I was bawling as I walked out of Section 16 in South Stadium.

Seeing the stadium unfold in front of me, that patch of fake grass and concrete was a moment that told me everything would be OK.

There were two more trips that fall for games. Going back in late October with my father for our first game together there in 24 seasons was a day I will long remember. Sitting in South Stadium on a perfect fall afternoon celebrating dad’s 60th birthday was as close as a perfect day as I could have asked for.

I may have about frozen my toes off on Black Friday for the game with the Hawkeyes and Huskers, but just being there with 90,000 of my closest friends was special, even if the Hawkeyes won that day.

There’s other places to watch college football, but there’s no place like gameday in Lincoln.

Then came this spring. I felt like the ghosts of nightmares past finally were starting to abate once and KRONS| 8A

US stars Akinradewo, Larson glad they stayed for Olympics RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — So stung by a devastating defeat to Brazil in the championship match of the London Games four years ago, silver medalists Foluke Akinradewo and Jordan Larson each contemplated walking away for good from the U.S. national team and skipping another Olympic cycle.

One by one, something slowly pulled each woman back to join new coach Karch Kiraly and support his plan for Rio de Janeiro. “I took the summer off for the most part to re-evaluate and make sure I still loved the game, and I did, so I came back,� Akinradwo said, “and I’m really happy I did.�

Despite the deep sense of hurt after failing as the undeniable favorites, she and Larson knew one thing: They had to go for it again and chase that elusive gold medal they knew was oh-so-close before calling it a career.

And everybody involved realizes how much these two mean for the top-ranked and unbeaten Americans (5-0) in Brazil as they prepared to take on Japan in Tuesday’s quarterfinals. The hard-hitting, high-flying Akinradewo is a menacing force at the net. The businesslike, reliable Larson is a steady presence in the lineup match after match. “They’re a part of building and laying the foundation for the culture that we’ve creat-

ed,� captain Christa Dietzen said.

By late summer of 2013, Akinradewo had undergone s h o u l d e r Akinradewo surgery and would stop by the team’s Orange County headquarters about once a week to check in, work out and just say hello. Larson, too, by then had decided to give it another chance, eager to follow Kiraly’s lead.

That part was easy. “I was pretty sad with how London ended and just whether I wanted to continue my career at all.

That’s where I was at and I

liked what K a r c h was doing and what the girls were trying to do,�

Larson r e c a l l e d . Larson “I really wanted to be a part of that.

I thought it was going to be a cool thing.�

Akinradewo is 28, and Larson 29. Both women have considered their aspirations for life beyond volleyball.

Yet those goals can wait for at least another week. “I love that our players are just all in giving it another shot here. Ultimately they have to make their own decisions, so Jordan went

through a process of pondering, mulling and weighing the options to play more and Foluke, too,� Kiraly said.

Aside from her pure athleticism, Akinradwo’s playful nature has been a positive. She has a signature move she’ll break into every so often called the “calf dance,� including obliging teammate Courtney Thompson on the 94th day counting down to Rio by taping a ‘9’ on one leg and ‘4’ on the other. Akinradewo does it “to show them off when she’s not self-conscious� about her lower legs, Kiraly said. “Those two, I can’t say enough good things. It gives me chills thinking about it,� setter Courtney Thompson said. “They get their team

going. There’s no better two that lead by example than Jordan and Foluke. Those two have a really powerful energy, and they set the tone.�

Akinradewo, a former Stanford star, is so thankful she decided to stick with it.

Missing out playing with this tight-knit group would have been a major mistake. “If I would have retired from volleyball I would have been missing out on some great things. I’m just really honored and humbled to be part of this group, absolutely.�

Larson has only one small request. “I just wish she would give me some of her vertical,�

Larson said, “just a little bit.�

KRONS:

portunity to find something I thought I’d never find again.

Two months later I was back in Lincoln.

April and I’s relationship took off. But it had its share of ups and downs this summer. The ghosts of nightmares past flared once more.

It took me awhile to deal with them, to finally, hopefully, bury them once and for all.

We took a bit of a break, taking time apart for me to finally put the ghosts of nightmares past behind me.

It’s been a long, hard process to overcome the nightmares of that awful day, to recover emotionally. It’s been excruciating at times, gut-wrenching at others as I’ve worked to process it all.

But by the grace of God and His love and mercy I’ve worked to overcome it all.

April and I were reunited again on a recent Saturday. It was such a special day, starting off with an awesome lunch in the Haymarket, later coffee.

Then later into the night, there was one more stop for April and I: a stop at Memorial Stadium to show her the statue of Brook and coach.

She’s seen it before, but not under these circumstances.

As we walked up, the emotions flooded back there.

We stood there, embraced, looked at each other and the statue.

I prayed. To forgive the past and move on. For the

present, thanking God that he brought us together.

For our future, that if it’s in God’s will, that we be together. But there was something about this moment that I savored.

Deep into a mid-August’s night, I soaked it all up like a sponge.

We meandered a few steps to the right of the statue. I looked over to the west. The lights of nearby Haymarket Park, home of the Huskers baseball team and Lincoln’s independent league team, were on. It was a quintessential “Field of Dreams� moment.

I hummed the penultimate tune from James Horner’s breathtakingly brilliant

soundtrack, a soundtrack that’s been the sound of my life many times. “The Place Where Dreams Come True.�

Standing outside Memorial Stadium, at the statue of Brook and Coach with the lights of Haymarket Park nearby, standing with the embrace of my girlfriend, it was perfect.

As that song hummed in my head, my heart melted.

I was standing in the arms of someone who loves me, at my most favorite spot on

the planet, with the lights of a ballpark on in the background.

What was a place that symbolized the death of a life gone by symbolized that no longer.

Instead it was the symbol of life, of rebirth.

Of a new hope for an amazing future.

To April, thank you for an amazing night. I love you. Here’s to the future, and many more special memories and moments at Memorial Stadium.

RACING Update

Rain shuts down Adams County Speedway this week

By Trevor Bast

Adams County Speedway

CORNING — With the burst of hard rain towards the end of the week the fast mile was a soggy puddle Saturday morning, making the decision to call off the races. Track volunteers and fair board members hoped for the best until the morning of Casey’s and Northland Oil Pro-stock Night, but were faced with the reality that Mother Nature took another win in the 2016 season.

Malvern Bank Hosts Huge Week Thanks to Malvern Bank, race fans get an exciting and action filled week at Adams County Speedway. Thursday, August 18th, Malvern Bank brings the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) back to Adams County Speedway for a return after many years away with a $3,000 to win purse in their Hunt for the Casey’s Cup. Hobby Stocks and B-Mods running for $1,000 to win in a Draw/Redraw format. Pit Side Live on KSOM 95.3 FM will be broadcasting at regular time on Thursday night to help showcase the festivities. Coors Light will “Light Up The Sky” after the USMTS show with a magnificent fireworks display. KSOM 96.5 FM out of Atlantic has a tour bus available to bring down race fans for $25 a seat and that includes the ticket for the grandstands and ride home.

Saturday August 20, Malvern Bank presents the second Super Late Model Racing Series (SLMR) race of the year. “The Official Bank of Dirt Track Racing” puts up some superb financing for the winners of the night with:

Late Models - $2,000 to win Modifieds - $1,000 to win Pro-stocks - $700 to win B-Mods - $500 to win Hobby Stocks - $500 to win Kompacts - $200 to win If that wasn’t enough already, Adams County Speedway will be giving away backpacks with some supplies and fun things from NASCAR.

The Ray Houck Memorial Dash will run the top eight late model drivers in weekly points battling it out for eight laps with $1,000 pay day.

Keystone Light Kompacts

Bryan Vannausdle hopes to defend his lead on Saturday with Logan Richards in second. There is lots of talk about Denny Berghahn Jr. and Joe Baker coming to try and collect some trophies. Drivers Jake Dixon, Evan Hrabik and newcomer Bobby Key are doing their best to not make it easy on anyone. Lucas Perrigo and John Kinser both appear to have it back together a few weeks after some hard contact.

Buchanan County’s Riniker crowned 2016 Iowa State Fair queen Taylor and Adair county queens placed in the competition. n

DES MOINES – Amanda Riniker, 20, of Buchanan County was crowned the 2016 Iowa State Fair queen

by Alan Brown, president of the fair board. This year’s ceremony, which marked the 52nd anniversary of the contest, took place Saturday evening at the Anne and Bill Riley Stage.

The daughter of Bruce and Jeanette Riniker of Winthrop, Amanda was chosen out of the 103 contestants who participated in this year’s competition. All had been crowned queen of their respective county fairs prior to the state fair.

Ashlyn Spencer, 19, of Taylor County was named first runner-up. She is the daughter of Todd and Cindy Spencer of Bedford. Second runner-up was Cassidy Moore, 19, of Jones County.

She is the daughter of Chris and Danette Moore of Lisbon. Alyssa Baatz, 17, of West Pottawatomie County was named third runner-up.

She is the daughter of James and Michelle Baatz of Neola.

Savannah David of Dallas County was given the Outstanding Leadership Award. The 17-year-old is the daughter of Don and Susanne David of Granger. Riley Ann Lonsdale, 17, of Adair County was given the Personality Plus Award.

She is the daughter of Mar-

tin and Maureen Lonsdale of Greenfield.

Queen Amanda, who will reign for the next year, receives $5,000 from the State of Iowa Governor’s Office along with a $3,000 scholarship from the Iowa State Fair in addition to her crown, sash and trophy.

She also receives a floral bouquet from Boesen the Florist, $600 gift card to Jordan Creek Mall, pair of diamond earrings from B. Shannon Designs, and Iowa State Fair Brick from the Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Foundation.

The first runner-up earns a $1,500 scholarship and $300 gift card to Jordan Creek Mall, the second runner-up wins $1,000 in scholarship money and a $250 Jordan Creek Mall gift card, and the third runner-up receives a $500 scholarship and $200 Jordan Creek Mall gift card. The Outstanding Leadership recipient wins an $800 scholarship and $250 Jordan Creek Mall gift card. The Personality Plus winner receives a $500 scholarship and $200 Jordan Creek Mall gift card.

All members of the royal court receive a plaque from the state fair and a floral bouquet from Boesen the Florist. An anonymous donor graciously provided the Jordan Creek gift cards for the royal court.

Judging is based on personality, attitude, awareness, leadership, citizenship, contribution to community, overall appearance, charm and poise.
