CITY COUNCIL

Hibbett Sports to come to Creston

Shown is a screenshot of the Hibbett Sports website. The sports retail store, which offers name brands like Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, The North Face and Jordan, is soon coming to Creston and will be located next to Supertel Inn on Laurel Street.

By KELSEY HAUGEN tional reCNA associate editor khaugen@crestonnews.com

Hibbett Sports, a sports retail store, is approved to come to town, Creston City Council decided during its regular meeting Tuesday.

Hibbett Sports, which has more than 1,000 locations in 33 states, sells clothing and footwear in name brands like Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, The North Face and Jordan.

The store will be located on Laurel Street near Supertel Inn and Conference Center and is tentatively slated to open in December, said Rick Johnson with United Development Group.

“We’re excited to have them and expand our retail offerings,” said Wayne Pantini, Union County Development Association executive director. “It’ll certainly add some addi-

tail jobs ... management positions and also other retail sector Pantini jobs that complement some of the other primary sector jobs.”

The council unanimously approved a development agreement with United Development Group out of Green Bay, Wisconsin – the same group that brought Dollar Tree to Creston.

The council approved $100,000 in tax increment financing (TIF) for the project. TIF is a public financing method used as a subsidy for redevelopment, infrastructure and other community improvement projects.

“Two, three months ago, Hibbett Sports contacted me,” Johnson said. “From there, I started looking

for land, and it took me a while to find out who owned that lot across from the Dollar Tree. They’re out of Chicago, and I finally found that person, talked about buying it and we’ve come to terms on buying that lot.”

Hibbett Sports approved the lot, which brought Johnson to the point of making drawings and a site plan.

“From there, it’s a numbers game for the developer,” Johnson said. “Hibbett Sports, how all these big national tenants do, they do their demographics ... and determine what they think they can do in sales and what it’s going to cost them, and then they’ll come back and say, ‘We will pay this much rent.’”

Johnson said after going to a bank, meeting Hibbett Sports’ desire for rent cost was not going to be feasible.

“So, I talked to Mike (Taylor), and that’s a TIF

Railroads show little progress on key safety technology WASHINGTON (AP) — Many commuter and freight railroads have made little progress installing safety technology designed to prevent deadly collisions and derailments despite a mandate from Congress, according to a government report released Wednesday.

The technology, called positive train control or PTC, uses digital radio communications, GPS and signals alongside tracks to monitor train positions. It can automatically stop or slow trains to prevent them from disobeying signals, derailing due to excessive speed, colliding with another train or entering track that is off-limits.

The Federal Railroad Administration report shows that while some railroads have made substantial progress, others have yet to equip a single locomotive or track segment with the technology, or install a single radio tower.

Congress passed a law in 2008 giving railroads seven years to put the technology in place, and last year extended that deadline for three more years after railroads said they were unable to meet the first deadline.

The law extending the deadline to Dec. 31, 2018, also allows the railroad administration to grant additional extensions for two more years to railroads that have installed PTC but are still testing the systems.

Railroads shouldn’t wait for the deadline to complete their work on PTC,

“EVERY day that passes without (positive train control) PTC, we risk adding another preventable accident to a list that is already too long.”

SARAH FEINBERG

Head of the railraod administration

said Sarah Feinberg, head of the railroad administration.

“Every day that passes without PTC, we risk adding another preventable accident to a list that is already too long,” she said in a statement.

So far, PTC is in operation on nine percent of freight route miles and 22 percent of passenger train miles, the report said.

Freight railroads have equipped 34 percent of their locomotives, installed 73 percent of their radio towers and completed 11 percent of their track segments. Passenger railroads have equipped 29 percent of their locomotives, installed 46 percent of their radio towers, and completed 12 percent of their track segments.

But progress varies considerably by railroad.

For example, BNSF has equipped 4,309 of its 5,000 locomotives, but Union Pacific has equipped only 13 SAFETY | 2A

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, which operates commuter trains in the Philadelphia region, has equipped all its locomotives, installed all its radio towers and completed all its track segments. But nearby New Jersey Transit Rail, which carries an average of 308,000 passengers on weekdays, hasn’t equipped any locomotives, installed any radio towers or completed any track segments.

The report also gave zeros in each of those categories to New York’s largest commuter railroads, the Metro-North and the Long Island railroads. In 2013, a speeding Metro-North train derailed while go-

Madrid High School in 1968 and went on to serve in the U.S. Navy from August 1968 until November 1972. After returning from the service, he began his career working on the Chicago Northwestern Railroad and continued on until November 2014, when he retired as an engineer from Burlington Northern Railroad. He treasured the friendships and connections with his railroad buddies that he made over the years of his career.

Lonnie is survived by his wife, Terri; daughter Shelly (Michael) Braudis of Campton, New Hampshire; son Bryce (Tracy) Grail of Ames; daughter Mandee (Zack) Smith of Lake Mills; daughter Heather Buckner of Mount Ayr; daughter Bobbi (Steve) Turner of Arispe and son Zach Grail of Arispe; grandchildren Henry and Greta Braudis, Ella, Harper and Sylvie Grail, Avery and Eleanor Smith, Scott Driskill and Livia Buckner, and Rayson Grail, Slade and Tukker Turner.

Lonnie was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents and sister Judy Keeling. from near Strand. Together, the couple had two children.

Viola and Gilbert began their life together on a farm on the south edge of Villisca in 1934, later moving to a farm near Blanchard.

In 1941, they purchased a farm on the south edge of Creston. During the ensuing years, Viola and Gilbert owned several farms in the Creston area and eventually moved into Creston.

In July 2015, Viola moved to Immanuel Fontenelle (Skilled Nursing) in Omaha. Throughout the years she and Gilbert lived in Creston, they were active members of Salem Lutheran Church.

Viola is survived by her daughter, Lee Maschka (husband Larry) of Omaha, Nebraska; son, Deane Johnson of Omaha, Nebraska; grandchildren Mike Maschka of Glenwood, Debi Cox of Des Moines, Todd Johnson of St. Joseph, Missouri, and Michael Johnson of Richmond, Virginia; sister, Fern Brown of Corning; nine great-grandchildren and nine great-great grandchildren.

Four people were killed and more than 60 injured. The National Transportation Safety Board said the accident could have been prevented if PTC had been in operation.

The report is based on information supplied by the railroads.

The report “is an overall summary that does not convey the progress we have achieved,” said Nancy Snyder, a spokeswoman for New Jersey Transit.

She noted that the railroad has acquired spectrum rights, equipped four “prototype vehicles” for testing and installed five antennas in a demonstration area, among other actions.

the request, and Johnson said the store should be open before Christmas this year. Johnson said it is 99 percent official that Hibbett Sports is coming to this location in Creston. “(Hibbett Sports is) a very good operator,” Johnson said.

“I think they’ll be a great addition to your town. They basically do every sporting good ... but hockey.”

Pantini said Hibbett Sports will be a good addition in terms of development and job growth in Creston.

“I think competition is good for our community. If we want to continue to grow as a community, we have to try to grow benefits from the technology as soon as next year.

The NTSB has urged railroads to install positive train control or earlier train control technologies for more than four decades. The board says that over that time it has investigated at least 145 PTC-preventable accidents in which about 300 people were killed and 6,700 injured.

More recently, the board has said PTC could have prevented the head-on collision of two BNSF trains in June near Panhandle, Texas. Three railroad employees were killed in the crash. The technology also could have prevented the derailment of a speeding Amtrak train in Philadel-

Commuter railroads have spent $950 million on PTC so far, but the total cost is estimated to be at least $3.48 billion, said Richard A. White, acting president of the American Public Transportation Association.

The White House requested Congress provide $1.25 billion in the coming 2017 federal budget year to help commuter railroads with PTC; House and Senate spending bills allocate only $199 million.

“Despite this funding dilemma, the industry is moving forward with this top safety priority,” White said in a statement.

Iowa couple gives back $50K to Northwest Missouri State University

Pictured are Dan and Martha Peterson.

MARYVILLE, Mo. – Giving back to organizations and causes that have deeply impacted their lives has long been a mission of Dan and Martha Peterson.

Understanding the powerful effect of a college education, the Petersons recently made a $50,000 testamentary gift to Northwest Missouri State University as part of their estate plans.

“We really believe that helping students get their education is a gift that lasts a lifetime,” said Dan, who completed his bachelor’s degree at Northwest in agricultural business in 1988. “If we can help them with a scholarship, it can make an impact.”

Having grown up in Underwood, Dan was active on his family’s cattle and row crop farm and understood then the importance of furthering his education. He chose to attend Northwest because of its proximity to the farm and the recommendation of Joe Pickard, a 1981 Northwest alumnus, his FFA teacher and mentor.

“At the time I went to get my degree, my family had been in the farming business for several generations, but the farming economy was very difficult,” Dan said. “We didn’t know if it was going to be a viable way to make a living, and I knew I needed a degree.”

He added, “Getting a college degree helps make you a productive citizen.

In those years, you really grow.”

Dan said his fondest memories of Northwest are the times he spent with friends he made on campus and faculty who helped him develop the skills he needed to be successful in his career.

“Northwest has always been really special to me because it was the first time I was away from home,” Dan said. “It’s where I gained my independence and an education.”

Martha grew up in southern Indiana and earned a bachelor’s degree from Miami University and master’s degree from the University of Louisville. Today, the Petersons, with Dan’s parents, operate Peterson Angus Farms Inc. and their DuPont Pioneer Seed Corn agency. They also are active in southwest Iowa communities and maintain the strong family values their parents instilled in them.

While the Petersons continue to explore other ways they may contribute to the Northwest, Dan and Martha are the parents of four children: Alex, Anna, Aiden and Andrew. Anna is now pursuing her bachelor’s degree at Northwest.

The Petersons have demonstrated their support for education through service on boards, committees and projects of Iowa Western Community College for more than a decade. Additionally, they have held affiliations and leadership roles with organizations such as the Council Bluffs Guild of the Omaha Symphony, Bluffs Arts Council, Children’s Square, Heartland Family Service, Mercy Hospital Charitable Council, the Girls Scouts of the USA and their local church.

In 2014, Alegent Creighton Health Mercy Hospital honored the family as one of its Heritage Award recipients for their contributions in arts and humanities. In 2013, Heartland Family Service recognized the Peterson family for their strong family life and community service as part of the Omaha-based organization’s annual Salute to Families Celebration.

According to an Adair County Sheriff report, officers were notified of a white SUV traveling east on Interstate 80 driving erratically.

Officers were notified by Cass County, Adair County and State Radio. There were complaints the vehicle was all over the roadway not letting people pass and almost hitting other vehicles. Officers stopped in the median at the 86 mile marker and waited for the vehicle.

When the vehicle passed the officers’ location, there was a vehicle stop in the median and the driver said he was an off-duty officer and the vehicle ahead was driving erratically.

Officers were able to locate the white Nissan Rogue at the 88 mile marker eastbound on Interstate 80. Upon approach, officers were able to open the passenger door, where they could sense an extremely strong odor of alcohol. Officers also observed the driver as Biswa, who had bloodshot eyes and could not answer simple questions.

Officers also observed bottle caps on the floor and in the seat.

Officers instructed Biswa to turn the vehicle off and hand them the keys because of safety issues with the situation. Officers then had Biswa go to the patrol vehicle, where they administered standardized field sobriety tests. Biswa showed impairment in all tests performed and was transported to Adair County Jail, where Biswa was unable to give an adequate breath sample after being given multiple opportunities. Biswa was also charged with multiple traffic violations, including open container and reckless driving.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser |Wednesday, August 17, 2016

Celebrity arguments HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Kim Kardashian was reported by Radar Online Monday to have been seriously confronted by her husband Kanye West over her frequent trips to the plastic surgeon. It’s an obsession in this town. Los Angeles just opened the world’s first drive-through plastic surgery clinic called Jiffy Boob.

Johnny Depp was caught on video in France Saturday hurling a wine glass and screaming at his estranged wife, actress Amber Heard. This guy needs to ask himself a serious question. If you had the choice of drinking wine all day or living to be 100, do you choose the red or the white?

Caitlyn Jenner said in a tweet Tuesday her TV reality series “I Am Cait” on E channel has been cancelled after two seasons. Her quest for publicity did her in.

Last year when Caitlyn came out of the closet and admitted she’s

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

a Republican, her picture made the cover of Career Suicide magazine.

U.S. Olympic gold medal swimmer Ryan Lochte was among the U.S. athletes robbed at gunpoint in Rio by robbers disguised as policemen. It’s an honest misunderstanding. The people in Brazil don’t realize that the medals you take at gunpoint don’t go toward your country’s overall medal count.

Olympic athletes are partying this week at a popular bar in Rio called The bin Laden Bar. It’s not named after the terrorist, the bar is owned by a man who looks exactly like bin Laden, beard and all. The bar was built for him by bounty hunters who felt badly

about all they’d put him through.

Aetna pulled out of 11 of 15 state exchanges that provide ObamaCare health coverage Tuesday. It’s lost $400 million because old, sick people apply and young healthy people won’t apply. Hillary is promising that if elected president, she will eliminate the lie detector test.

Bill Clinton stood up for the work of the Clinton Foundation on Monday when reporters asked him about pay-for-play.

He insisted the charity performs good works. Clinton The foundation works hard to provide people in the Third World what they need to thrive, namely fake Hawaiian birth certificates.

Hillary Clinton’s lead in the polls began sliding Tuesday as

the Zogby Poll had it back down to a two-point Hillary lead. The battleground states are the key.

Donald Trump said Monday he could lose in Pennsylvania if cheating goes on, prompting Hillary to give Bill a free pass until Election Day. Donald Trump flew to Milwaukee to support the police after the rioting when a black cop shot a black suspect. So the black police chief asked Trump to come cool the racial tensions. Mel Brooks is banging his head against the wall in Hollywood knowing that he missed a great comedy movie idea.

Donald Trump delivered a serious a speech on national security Monday. He proposed ways to secure the U.S. from terrorist entry. Donald Trump called for an ideology test for anyone trying to come into the U.S., as opposed to the current challenge, which consists of swimming and pole vaulting.

Donald Trump Monday proposed an immigrant screening process he called Extreme Vetting to weed out terrorist entry. The media dismissed it as racist. If the U.S. government vetted Mideast refugees as strictly as the media vets Donald Trump, this country would be safer than Switzerland.

The Donald Trump campaign announced that Fox News’ recently deposed CEO Roger Ailes has been hired to coach Donald Trump for the presidential debates. This is a highly risky hire.

Please tell us this doesn’t mean that instead of debating Hillary, Trump’s going to sexually harass her.

Donald Trump turned serious this week in his long-awaited pivot to acting more presidential onstage. His support is growing in Los Angeles. That’s because if you quote Trump in any public place in California, they place you in psychiatric hold and you get free drugs for 24 hours.

2016

Only 35 years after the 1980s farm crisis, another storm seems to be brewing. Corn production is forecast by United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to be up 11 percent from last year. This crop, possibly more than 15 billion bushels, will include a market-killing overhang of nearly a billion bushels. Corn exports are not performing well due to the strong U.S. dollar, and all sectors of the livestock market are struggling.

Farm inputs like seed, pesticide, fertilizer and farm equipment are up and sticky on the upside. Rents can be sticky on the upside, and a year of perfect weather is driving a bumper harvest. And, prices for corn and beans are below the cost of production.

It comes on the cusp of a presidential election where, no matter which party wins Congress, there will be significant shifts and much time spent reorganizing. The farm bill is up

for a rewrite this year, and new techniques and technologies and management practices need to be built into this new bill. For instance, during the most recent US. Senate primary election, I advocated that better soil and water conservation practices be tied to the ability to sign up for federal crop insurance. But it will be impossible to finish this before March when the 2017 land leases are signed for cultivation. And even if it was, a farm economy in a deficit situation might be unable to take advantage of it in a year of financial hardship.

This means that in the short run, Iowa will need to make do with the laws on the books to fight this new crisis.

Here are some ideas: Ask President Obama for a temporary emergency order lifting the national Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for ethanol by 0.5 percent in order to soak up the crop surplus while at the same time increasing national air quality. Estimates are for a billion bushel overhang on the market. A one-half percent increase in RFS to E-10.5

would come close to eliminating the overhang. The cost savings to the government in avoided support payments may be significant just in market loan rate reductions as well as loan deficiency payments.

Initiate a cash program to buy wetland potential properties or acquire permanent easements for the same. The goal of the acquisition program will be to improve surface and ground water quality, as well to improve natural habitat for hunting, fishing and recreation. The actual redevelopment of the wetlands might take some time and is cash-dependent, but nothing can practically be started until the potential wetland property is acquired. Redevelopment as actual wetlands will likely be over a number of years. With the market for farmland going in a downward trajectory, many farmers will view the land or easement sale as an opportunity to gain cash for the hard times, as well as a worthy cause.

If you are a farmer or a small business-person in a rural area, hold onto your hat, for the rollercoaster is about to begin.

Creston News Advertiser |Wednesday, August 17, 2016

Northey comments on Iowa Iowa State Savings Bank Crops and Weather report expands trust department DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey recently commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agricultural Statistical Service.

The report is released weekly from April through October. “Crops generally remain in good condition statewide with 83 percent of corn and soybeans rated as good or excellent.

The recent storms caused some isolated damage but also brought some needed moisture during this critical time of the growing season for soybeans,� Northey said.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ ia. The report summary follows here:

Crop report Above normal precipitation across much of Iowa limited fieldwork to 4.3 days suitable for the week ending Aug. 14, according to the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. Activities for the week included cutting hay and fungicide and insecticide applications. Spraying activities were wrapping up in some areas.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 7 percent short, 83 percent adequate and 9 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 9 percent short, 83

percent adequate and 6 percent surplus.

Eighty percent of the corn crop was in or beyond the dough stage, five days ahead of last year and 10 days ahead of the five-year average. Twenty-three percent of Iowa’s corn crop reached the dent stage, three days ahead of normal. Corn condition rated 83 percent good to excellent. Soybeans blooming reached 97 percent, eight days ahead of the previous year. Eighty-seven percent of soybeans were setting pods, with a few scattered reports of soybeans starting to turn color. Soybean condition rated 83 percent good to excellent, although there were scattered reports of Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) across the State. Ninety-five percent of the oat crop for grain or seed has been harvested, equal to last year’s pace.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay is 52 percent complete, four days ahead of average. Hay condition rated 73 percent good to excellent, while pasture condition rated 62 percent good to excellent. Livestock conditions were reported as normal.

Iowa preliminary weather summary

Weekly rain totals varied from 0.62 inches at Dorchester in far northeast Iowa to 7.14 inches at Swisher in Johnson County. There was a statewide average of 2.20 inches of rain, or more than double the normal for the week of 0.98 inches.

The past reporting week began mild with daytime highs mostly near 80 degrees on Monday, Aug. 8, while Estherville reported the lowest temperature of the week with a Monday morning minimum of 52 degrees. However, heat and humidity quickly returned on Tuesday with the hottest weather prevailing on Wednesday, Aug. 10, and Thursday, Aug. 11.

Keeping raisins from clumping Dear Heloise: How do you keep RAISINS in the larger containers from drying out and clumping? -- Beatrice K. in Houston Storage is the key! The best way to keep raisins from drying out and clumping is to put them in an airtight container or a large, plastic, sealable bag.

Once opened, if you don’t plan to use the raisins within a couple of months, you may want to store them in the refrigerator in order to give them a longer shelf life.

Horoscope For Thursday, Aug. 18, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today’s Full Moon could create problems with your kids, or your friends or even a romantic partner. Your best choice is to chill out.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today you are caught between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your job and your career. (You can’t ignore home and family.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be careful, because this is an accident-prone day for your sign since you or someone else might be distracted. Be calm and be aware.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Disputes about finances, possessions, debt and inheritances might come to a head today. It’s important to know what you really want before you agree to anything.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. This will create some emotional excitement or tension between you and partners and close friends. (But you still can enjoy this day!)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Be patient with co-workers today, because the Full Moon’s energy makes everyone a bit antsy and easily annoyed.

Therefore, stay calm. Be a role model for others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Don’t try to persuade a friend to agree with you today. Just agree to disagree. Likewise, your relationships with children might be challenging because of the Full Moon’s energy today. Go slowly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Like Taurus, you feel challenged by juggling the demands of home and family versus career and job.

However, unlike Taurus, you cannot ignore your career, job and public reputation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because they quickly will lead to an argument. (Emotions run high during a Full Moon.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Try not to get carried away with disputes about shared property, inheritances and financial matters today, because today’s Full Moon is a tough day for having important discussions. Easy does it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking

place. Naturally, this makes you more emotional, which can rebound off close friends and partners. Oh well.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Issues at work and conversations with co-workers might be frustrating today because of the Full Moon energy.

However, who knows? Things might flow smoothly. Fingers crossed!

YOU BORN TODAY You are a confident, outgoing leader. Others admire your courage and charisma. You are knowledgeable and well-informed,

because you are curious about many things. It’s important to know that you will benefit from dealing with others this year. In other words, your success lies in interacting with other people. Make friends. Join clubs and organizations. Your social activities will be mutually beneficial.

Iowa native Simpson gets 1st U.S. Olympic medal in women’s 1,500 RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Before Jenny Simpson became the first U.S. woman to win an Olympic medal at 1,500 meters by earning a bronze, her younger sister Emily offered some words of inspiration.

The note, Simpson said, carried what she called “a mantra” on it: “To be brave is to move forward.”

“So I applied that tonight,” said Simpson, a 29-year-old from Boulder, Colorado, and who was born in

Webster City. “Emily is a firefighter and she always says how she loves we both fight for our country.”

Simpson finished third Tuesday night at Olympic Stadium Simpson in 4 minutes, 10.53 seconds, behind Faith Kipyegon of Kenya and world-record holder Genzebe Dibaba of Ethiopia.

Simpson emerged from the next group, edging another American, Shannon Rowbury, who wound up in fourth, about a half-second back.

“I love feeling that stress on the last lap,” Simpson said. “I was one of the crowd who could maybe get third, so I’m really happy.”

And this time, her shoes only came off AFTER the race, when Simpson paraded around the track with a giant U.S. flag. At the 2015

world championships in Beijing, Simpson ran the final lap of the 1,500 without her left shoe after getting stepped on and finished 11th.

She was the 2011 winner and 2013 runner-up at the world championships.

After her unprecedented Olympic performance, Simpson declared: “They better throw me a party when I get home.”

U.S. routs Japan 110-64, advances to women’s basketball semis RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Diana Taurasi and the U.S. women’s basketball brushed aside yet another opponent at the Rio Games after being challenged for the first team in the Olympics, albeit for just one half.

While Japan played the Americans tough in the first half, the end result was another blowout victory for the U.S., although the 110-64 dismantling of the Japanese team may have come at a cost.

Point guard Sue Bird didn’t play the second half after injuring her right knee in the second quarter. She told The Associated Press after the game that she felt a “pop.”

“Nothing really happened,” Bird said of the play. “I just felt the pop and anytime you feel that, it’s a little alarming. So going just to have to get it evaluated afterwards and see what’s up. Truth I really have nothing to tell you. It happened so fast like. Is it possible I stepped on her shoe or she stepped on mine? I don’t really remember but yeah it

felt funny.”

U.S. coach Geno Auriemma said that they would evaluate the injury.

“I really don’t know. I said we’ll know” on Wednesday, Auriemma said. “There’s no way of knowing anything right now. I’m sure Sue’s bummed out about it as you can imagine. Let’s just wait and see.”

Coming into the quarterfinals, every U.S. game was virtually over at the half. Not this one.

Japan, sticking to its up-tempo style of basketball, shooting 3-pointers and pushing the pace, trailed just 56-46 at halftime. But the Americans, which won its five group games by an average of 40.8 points, had just too much offensive firepower and eclipsed the 100-point mark for the fifth time in six games, outscoring Japan 54-18 in the second half.

“That is a really good team, they make you work,” Taurasi said. “They have a system of playing that I’m really familiar with. ... We knew it would be a tough

game. They put a lot of pressure on you and we felt it in the first half.”

The Americans, who will play the winner of France-Canada in the semifinals Thursday, have played nearly flawless basketball in Rio and their performances apparently have made an impression on Japan.

The Japanese players posed for a team picture with the U.S. after the blowout — the second straight opponent to get a postgame memento with the Americans. China took a photo after their game against the Americans in pool play. It’s reminiscent of how opponents reacted to the Dream Team at the 1992 Barcelona Games.

“I don’t even know. It’s the second time now in a row,” said Bird. “Yeah I don’t know what happened.”

In the first 20 minutes against Japan, the Americans were challenged as the Asian nation wasn’t afraid to try and run with them.

The Japanese quickly got the ball up and down the court and hit open jumpers, taking it right at the No. 1 ranked

team in the world.

Just as the Americans seemed to be pulling away in the second quarter, Taurasi opening up a double-digit lead, Japan responded with a 10-2 run.

And they looked impressive doing it.

Ramu Tokashiki — who plays for the WNBA’s Seattle Storm — shook free from her defender for an easy backdoor layup that got Japan within 48-46 and capped the burst. It brought a loud contingent of Japanese fans to their feet.

That’s as close as they would get. The U.S. (6-0) scored the final eight points of the half with the last four coming from Seimone Augustus, which brought cheers from Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and several other members of the U.S. men’s basketball team in attendance.

Japan scored the first four points of the third quarter, but then Moore started a

10-0 run with five straight points. Brittney Griner’s layup capped the spurt and the U.S. never looked back.

The Americans continued their torrid scoring pace and are still above the 102.4 mark set by the 1996 team that started the run of five gold medals and 47 consecutive Olympic wins.

Tokashiki scored 14 points to lead Japan (3-3), which was playing its first Olympics since 2004. The three victories equaled the most ever for the team in the Games, which it will host in 2020.

While this game provided the first real test for the Americans, their road to a sixth consecutive gold medal got a little bit easier when Australia lost to Serbia 73-71 early Tuesday.

The Aussies had been the only team to hold a halftime lead over the U.S. at the Olympics in the past 16 years when they led by four in the semifinal game in the 2012 London Games.

The U.S. won that game by 13. Serbia plays Spain in Thursday’s other semifinal.

Golden Girl: Biles ends historic Olympics with 4th gold RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Simone Biles starts each year by pulling out a notebook to write down her goals for the next 12 months. When 2016 dawned, for once she didn’t get too specific.

Make the Olympic team. That’s it.

Better to just leave things vague.

Besides, who could have written this? Eight days. Five medals. Four of them gold. The last one draped over her neck following one final show-stopping floor exercise on Tuesday.

Whether Biles will leave the games as the best gymnast of all time is up for debate, a topic she will happily leave to others.

“I would never rank myself,” Biles said. “It’s weird.”

She’d rather let her envelope-pushing performance at Rio Olympic Arena do the talking. Her final act was perhaps her greatest.

On legs she joked felt like rocks, Biles put together 90 seconds of effortless joy. Her ceiling scraping tumbling and charismatic dancing — set to Brazilian-themed music designed for exactly this moment — ended with her bouncing off the mat before sprinting to the awaiting arms of longtime coach Aimee Boorman.

The two embraced, their journey that began when Biles was 6 ending — at least for now — with history. Biles became the fifth female gymnast to win four golds at a sin-

gle Olympic meet and the fourth to win them on the traditional events.

Throw in the bronze Biles earned on balance beam Monday and the Biles 19-year-old will have a lengthy checklist when she gets to customs on her way home to Texas.

“I think that she was really consistent, that was a big thing for her,” Boorman said. “That was the goal.

Not to come in and win five golds but to show what she trained.”

As for what comes next — besides the stardom that awaits back in the U.S. — Biles is unsure. She’d like to go have a normal life for a bit, at least as normal as it can be when she gets back to suburban Houston. Turning one of the biggest sporting events in the world into your personal showcase has a way of changing things.

“It’s kind of scary with this public eye being on me all the time,” Biles said. “It’s rewarding but I think we’ll get used to it.”

If she needs advice, she doesn’t have to look far. All she has to do is ask good friend and “Final Five” teammate Aly Raisman. The 22-year-old team captain picked up her third medal in Brazil and sixth overall with silver on floor, a moment she wasn’t sure would arrive when she began her methodical

comeback two years ago.

“This time was harder than 2012, the training part of it,” Raisman said.

“It was kind of hard to top (2012).

It’s nice that it was all worth it.”

Raisman’s six medals are the second-most by an American female gymnast at the Olympics. The nine medals the U.S. women captured in Rio are the program’s most in an Olympic meet, a fitting send off for retiring national team coordinator Martha Karolyi.

Husband Bela at her side in the stands, Karolyi fought back tears as the gymnasts she called “the Final Two” leave little doubt as to the widening canyon between the Americans and the rest of the world. Five days after going 1-2 in the all-around, Biles and Raisman did it again with their unparalleled floor routines that including some of the most difficult passes the sport has ever seen.

“I’m so proud of these girls,” said Karolyi, who is stepping down later this month. “I’m going out very happy, very satisfied.”

Whether Raisman is going to join Karolyi in retirement is uncertain.

Raisman never thought anything could top London. Yet there she was waving to the crowd on Tuesday afternoon, a gesture that doesn’t mean goodbye. Maybe it was the adrenaline, but for now Tokyo 2020 remains in play.

“Maybe I’m getting better with

age,” she said.

For the first time in Rio, the U.S. men’s team managed to keep pace with the women thanks to Danell Leyva. A bronze medalist in the allaround in London, Leyva won silver on high bar and parallel bars within 90 minutes of each other. Heady territory considering Leyva only made the Olympic team after John Orozco went down with a knee injury last month. After finishing a disappointing fifth in team finals, the American men finished with three medals overall after Alex Naddour took bronze on pommel horse.

“This was absolutely redemption, not only for me but for the team as well,” Leyva said.

Men’s all-around silver medalist Oleg Verniaiev of Ukraine took gold on parallel bars, followed by Leyva and David Belyavskiy of Russia. Fabian Hambuechen of Germany finally reached the top step of the podium in the Olympics by claiming the high bar title. A bronze medalist in Beijing and a silver medalist in London, Hambuechen’s score of 15.766 was clear of Leyva’s 15.500. Nile Wilson of Great Britain earned bronze.

Ultimately though, these games belonged to Biles, who planned to celebrate with pizza and some time off. After that, who knows?

“It’s pretty insane what I’ve accomplished in my first Olympics,” she said. “I don’t know. It’s crazy.”

Mondesi, Royals topple Tigers 6-1 DETROIT (AP) -- Raul Mondesi hit 271 home runs in 13 major league seasons.

Eleven years after his career ended, his son is on the board.

The younger Raul Mondesi broke open a scoreless tie with a home run off Justin Verlander and the Kansas City Royals went on to a 6-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.

When Mondesi came up in the third inning, Verlander had retired all eight batters he had faced and appeared to be in dominant form once again.

Verlander’s first pitch was a 94 mph fastball for a

called strike, but the second was a hanging slider and Mondesi drove it just inside the right-field foul pole for his first career homer.

“As soon as I hit it, I knew it was going to stay fair, so I just started running,” he said. “I’m sure everyone could see me smiling when it went over the fence. That was a great feeling.”

Hitting it off Verlander made things even better.

“It makes it more special that I hit it in my first at-bat against that guy,” he said.

“He’s a great, great pitcher, and I hit my first homer against him.”

Mondesi is listed as 6-foot-1 and a very gener-

ous 185 pounds, but Royals manager Ned Yost wasn’t shocked by him going deep.

“He’s a skinny kid who we know is going to fill out over the next few years, but we knew he had some pop,” Yost said. “He can do more than people realize.”

Mondesi’s homer was the first of four solo shots by the Royals, three off Verlander. Alex Gordon and Eric Hosmer also homered off Verlander (12-7), while Kendrys Morales went deep off Mark Lowe.

“Most of the time, I’ll take my chances with giving up four hits, but tonight, every mistake I made got hit into the seats,” Verlander

said. “They say solo homers don’t hurt you, but that obviously wasn’t the case today. It was just one of those games.”

Danny Duffy (10-1) outdueled Verlander, allowing three hits and two walks in 7 2/3 innings. He struck out five.

“You’d expect a pitcher’s duel from those two, and that’s really what it was,” Yost said. “Danny was great, and Verlander threw the ball really well. We only got four hits off him, but somehow, three of them were homers. You don’t expect that.”

Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered for Detroit’s only

run. The Tigers have lost seven of nine.

“We just need to win,” Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. “Our offense is cold right now, and the opposing pitching has a lot to do with that, but sometimes you just go cold as a group.”

Verlander gave up five runs -- three earned -- four hits and a walk in seven-plus innings. He struck out six.

Kansas City’s second hit came in the fifth inning, when Gordon hit another slider into nearly the same spot as Mondesi. Gordon came into the game with a .205 career average against the Tigers ace.

Those interested in attending the ribbon cutting are asked to meet at the cabins which are adjacent to the campground.

Nineteen of Iowa’s state parks have cabins and yurts to reserve.

bottom and allow you to remove them from near shore or around docks. Attaching a float to the rake lets it skim and remove weeds and moss or algae from the surface.

Cutters sink to the bottom and cut the weed stems as it is dragged back, causing the weeds to float to the top. The weeds are often carried away by the wind or can be picked up with a floating rake.

A long-handled rake or cutter with a reach of 10 feet or more that can be thrown and pulled back is the most useful. These handy tools can be used for many years and cost less than a gallon of some aquatic herbicides. Local hardware or pool stores may carry these, or try an online search for “lake weed rake or cutter.”

A few words of caution: · Many plants spread by fragmentation, so if growth is not throughout the pond, use of these methods may not be wise. · Once out of the water, allow the weeds to dry out before moving them too far. This will greatly lighten your load. · Obey State Law. Don’t haul the plants off your property, the transport of aquatic vegetation is not allowed in Iowa. Once out of the water, leave the plants to dry and compost onshore or move dried plants to your garden where they make excellent mulch. · Lakeshore property owners on a public lake are allowed to physically remove a 15 foot wide path of vegetation without a permit for navigation to the main lake; removal with herbicides is not allowed. Contact the DNR fisheries office in your area if you have questions.

Creston News Advertiser |Wednesday, August 17, 2016

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The U.S. women’s volleyball team knows Japan so well that long points are a given. Patience is an absolute must. Against the best defensive team in the world, balls are going to come back across the net.

Karch Kiraly’s top-ranked Americans moved one step closer to its goal of capturing the program’s first volleyball gold, defeating familiar opponent Japan in straight sets Tuesday to reach the semifinals.

“Before we go into any match with Japan we have to know we need to have a lot of patience,” outside hitter Kim Hill said.

The unbeaten U.S. (6-0) won 25-16, 25-23, 25-22 and

has dropped just five sets all tournament. The Americans will face Serbia, a straightset winner over Russia, in Thursday’s semifinals at Maracanazinho arena.

“Our approach is the same every time, so that didn’t even really feel like an Olympic quarterfinal match,” Kiraly said. “That’s good. We’re just playing volleyball against Japan.”

The U.S. has faced Japan more times than any other team since 1983. The Americans have won the last three meetings on the Olympic stage against Japan, opening the 2008 Beijing Games with a four-set victory and sweeping Japan in a match at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996.

“They have a lot of fight

in them, so it took a lot of patience on our end, and regrouping and resetting,” middle blocker Foluke Akinradewo said. “I was proud of the team we were able to get it out in three sets.”

Two-time reigning Olympic champion Brazil will take on a young China team in Tuesday’s late match for a date with the upstart Netherlands women, who beat South Korea in four sets.

The Dutch are in their first Olympics in 20 years and went 4-1 in group play behind the Americans Japan, one of the top defensive teams in the world, had a 7-0 run in the third set before the Americans closed it out. Now, the U.S. is two

wins from gold.

“I don’t have any expectations. Others may have them, but I don’t,” said Kiraly, the only person to win gold as a player in beach and indoor volleyball and looking to become the first as a coach and player.

Serbia lost in four sets to the U.S. during pool play but pulled off a surprising five-set victory at last year’s World Cup in Japan last Aug. 23 that forced the Americans to qualify for Rio at Lincoln, Nebraska, in January.

“The most important thing is to keep smiling on the court and stay relaxed, and anybody can be beaten,” Serbia’s Jovana Stevanovic said.

Walsh-Jennings defeated in beach volleyball RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil beat the Americans in the women’s beach volleyball semifinals Tuesday night and ended the gold medal run of three-time Olympic champion Kerri Walsh Jennings.

Agatha and Barbara won 22-20, 21-18 to earn a matchup in the final against Germany. The best Walsh Jennings and her partner, April Ross, can do is a bronze medal when they play Brazil’s other women’s team on Wednesday.

Brazilian men’s team Ali-

son and Bruno also advanced to the gold medal game by beating the Netherlands earlier Tuesday. Italy defeated Russian in the other men’s semifinal. The men’s final is Thursday.

Walsh Jennings had won three gold medals with Misty May-Treanor and had never lost an Olympic match. In fact, she had only lost two sets in her Olympic career before falling in straight sets at the Copacabana venue.

“Kerri does so much for us and I didn’t step up today,” Ross said. “I’m very upset

While viewing numbers down, streaming is up for Olympics NEW YORK (AP) — While NBC’s prime-time television ratings are down, fans are clearly seeking out the Olympics on other devices.

The network said Tuesday it had surpassed 2 billion minutes of live streamed action from the Rio de Janeiro Games. Not only does that comfortably surpass the 818 million streamed minutes for the London Games, it beats by 500 million the number for all previous Olympics combined.

Within the first three days of the Olympics, 80 percent of people who watched the games said they used at least one other device to follow what was going on. That was up from 61 percent for the Sochi Winter Olympics two years ago, NBC said.

An estimated 24.3 million people watched Monday night’s prime-time telecast on NBC, the level rising by 5 percent to 25.5 million when streaming and cable coverage is added in. For the same Monday night in London four years ago, there were 26.6 million viewers.

pear to be big in Utah this year. NBC said that for nine of the 11 prime-time nights of Olympics action, Salt Lake City was the market with the best ratings in the country.

A GAME!: With two minutes to go in the first half of Tuesday’s women’s basketball game between the United States and Japan, NBC’s Marc Zumoff and Anne Meyer Drysdale were juiced. They had a game! The U.S., which had won its first five games by an average of 45 points, was up by only two. Zumoff and Drysdale were enthralled by the “pesky” and “entertaining” Japanese players, who came after their better-known rivals relentlessly. “Japan is putting up a great fight,” Zumoff said. By the second half, the U.S. put the hammer down. It was 8959 when NBC’s cameras caught the U.S. men’s team in the stands; they were all staring at their devices. The Americans won by 46.

with myself.”

Agatha and Barbara are the defending world champions, but they were the second-seeded team in the tournament to fellow Brazilians Talita and Larissa, a pair of three-time Olympians, who lost to Germany earlier Tuesday.

With the 21-18, 21-12 victory, Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst clinched Germany’s first-ever Olympic medal in women’s beach volleyball.

“I think it will take some time to realize what we did

here,” Ludwig said. “We had some tough times, and now we’re in the final!”

The German men won the gold medal in London. But to match the feat in Rio, the women will have to beat the defending world champions.

Brazil still has a chance to match its 2004 Olympic haul of three medals. Despite failing to make the final, Talita said she would never forget playing in front of the hometown crowd on the iconic beach. “I am so proud of my people, the Brazilian people,” Talita said.

Greenfield awarded $10K for Healthy Iowans Program

Yards of the month

Southern Iowa Council of Governments (SICOG) was recently notified it has been selected by the Iowa Department of Health to facilitate development of physical activity and nutrition strategies through the Healthy Iowans Program for Greenfield.

A financial award of $10,000 is available to assist in the implementation of projects selected

by Greenfield community members. A steering committee of interested citizens will collaborate to determine just how these funds will be spent.

SICOG has previously been involved in Healthy Iowans projects in Wint-

erset, Mount Ayr, Corning and Osceola and looks forward to working with Greenfield residents over the coming months.

Projects developed through these coalitions have included purchase and installation of new school playground equipment, development of a Safe Routes to School Plan, repair of a trail bridge, support for healthy snack options at school concession stands, farmers market advertising and activities, purchase of GPS equipment for geocaching, funding of senior physical fitness classes and purchase and installation of outdoor physical edu-

cation equipment. Many of these projects included collaborations between groups that realized they shared common goals but might not otherwise have worked together on a project.

Anyone from the Greenfield area interested in wellness activities, supporting physical activity and healthy eating is invited to participate.

Vilsack visiting Iowa to support next generation of farmers DES MOINES – This week, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will take part in a series of events in Iowa to promote continued investment in rural communities and announce next steps to support a strong next generation of farmers and ranchers in Iowa and across the country.

Vilsack will kick off his trip in Ames today where he will host a roundtable discussion with new and beginning farmers and ranchers at Iowa State University. During the discussion, he will announce new funding to provide assistance to new farmers and highlight the variety of programs available to those starting a career in agriculture.

Most recently under Vilsack’s leadership, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has prioritized $5.6 billion over the next two years within programs and services that serve new and beginning farmers and ranchers.

On Thursday, Vilsack will deliver keynote remarks to the Iowa LGBT Rural Summit in Des Moines. He will wrap up his visit Friday in Iowa City to meet with students at Carver College of Medicine to discuss child nutrition, rural health and the importance of providing greater medical treatment resources in rural areas struggling with the

opioid addiction epidemic.

Over the course of the Obama Administration, USDA has made targeted investments to help rural communities thrive and support the next generation of American agriculture – in Iowa and across the country. Since 2009, USDA has made significant and transformative investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure that have strengthened America’s economy, small towns, and rural communities.

USDA is also leading the way to support a strong next generation of farmers and ranchers by improving access to land and capital; expanding markets; extending new conservation opportunities; offering risk management tools; and increasing outreach, education and technical support.
