Public hearing on Lincoln School sale moves to mealsite

food pantry partnership

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

Small church, big partnership

A public hearing for the sale of Lincoln School is expected to draw at least 50 Crestonians to the Creston City Council meeting Tuesday evening.

Thus, city officials have already moved the meeting — in its entirety — from the council chambers to the mealsite located on the first level of the restored Creston Depot.

“The maximum occupancy in the council chambers is 49,” said Creston Mayor Warren Woods.

“We moved the meeting (to the mealsite) because of the anticipated number of people.”

The meeting starts at 6 p.m. The public hearing is the second to last item on the agenda.

Volunteers Mary Hoadley and Mark O’Riley stock more than 1,500 pounds of food at United Church of Christ, 501 W. Montgomery St., Thursday after it was picked up from Food Bank of Iowa. The food pantry program at the church provides supplemental groceries for more than 1,700 individuals in need.

CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews.com

U

nited Church of Christ (UCC) Congregational Church is getting a helping hand through a new partnership.

In June, UCC became an agency partner of Food Bank of Iowa, a private, charitable, non-profit organization committed to alleviating hunger through food distribution, partnership and education.

Mary O’Riley, pastoral intern at UCC, said the partnership is a win-win situation.

“We are able to get a large variety of foods at discounted costs or no cost through the food bank,” O’Riley said.

Riley said the partnership with Food Bank of Iowa allows the church — which operates a food pantry for approximately 1,700 men,

women and children a year — to serve more people better quality food. Each week, the O’Riley food pantry helps supplement meals for more than 40 families.

“Our goal is to provide the shoppers that come to our pantry with things they can make nutritious meals with,” O’Riley said.

Through the partnership with the Food Bank of Iowa, UCC’s food pantry has a better stock of meat, vegetables, fruit, eggs, grains and non-perishable products. Many of their offerings come from USDA, prison vegetable gardens, church and community groups.

Last week, shoppers were able to shop from more than 1,500 pounds of food.

“We got meat, turkey, pepperoni, spaghetti, eggs,

strawberries, oranges, pita wraps, ham and cheese, boxed and canned items,” O’Riley said.

It takes a village

To help offset the cost of handling fees assessed to some of the Food Bank of Iowa commodities, Farm Credit Services of America has granted $2,000 to United Church of Christ Congregational Church.

Additionally, UCC is required to have a refrigerator and freezer in the food pantry storage and distribution area. However, the electrical needs to be updated in the building to accommodate the changes.

Because of this, South Central Iowa Community Foundation has granted $9,000 to upgrade and add additional breakers and circuits to the food pantry.

“We were blowing circuits with the roasters that would be plugged in to provide a hot meal (for Open

Woods said everyone will get to speak at the hearing. As usually, he asks that each speaker come to the podium, give their full name and address for the record and limit remarks to three minutes.

“My intent is to let everyone speak that wants to,” Woods said. “I’m pretty committed to that because this is different than other public hearings for things like policy changes. This is a hearing for

Other services

O’Riley said the food pantry is one of three programs offered at United Church of Christ.

UCC also offers free, hot meals 5 p.m. every Tuesday during Open Table. O’Riley said the church has been offering the meals to community members with the support of volunteers from businesses, clubs, civic organizations and other religious congregations in the area.

The Union County Ministrial Alliance assistance fund is also managed out of UCC by Rev. Delores Doench of Platte Center Church. The assistance fund is an emergency fund for qualifying individuals.

“One guy started a new job and needed steel-toe work boots and couldn’t afford them,” O’Riley said.

ISSB offering $50,000 to Lincoln School site The specific purpose of the $50,000 will be to develop a community park in the playground fronting Adams Street.

■

Iowa State Savings Bank CEO and Chairman Karl W. Knock announced this morning that Iowa State Savings Bank is prepared to donate $50,000 to be used for the development of public use spaces at the former Lincoln School site.

The specific purpose of the

money will be to develop a community park in the playground fronting Adams Street.

Funds could also be used for development of additional parking at the former school site for the park and the relocated public library if the plan to relocate the community’s public library to the former school building goes forward and additional parking is needed.

Knock is scheduled to meet with the Creston city council’s finance committee tonight and with the Library Board in a work session.

Knock said that bank management decided to make this opportunity available to the city at this

time because the city council is faced with a difficult decision about what to do with the former school site and has little time to decide between Knock two different uses for the property.

“We think this is an important issue for Creston’s future and wanted to help the council make the better choice between competing community development ideas,” Knock said on behalf of the bank’s management team.

Papers will be redelivered in Creston until 6:30 p.m. Phones will be answered until 7 p.m.

The library board and supporters plan to redevelop the former school into a library and culture center to house expanded educationally-based programming and activities to maintain and improve citizens’ opportunities for self-education and cultural well-being.

On Aug. 8 the city council set a public hearing for Aug. 19 to vote on a proposal to sell the former school property to Seldin Company for redevelopment into senior and low-to-moderate income housing.

The developer proposes to divide the former school building into 12 low-to-moderate income,

and four market rate apartments for rent to seniors and to build 13 three-bedroom townhomes on the former school’s playground facing Adams Street.

Knock said Iowa State Savings Bank management sees both ideas as good, but thinks the townhomes should be built in a different location.

“As a local bank, we are very interested in development that improves the quality of life for citizens in the communities we serve.

That includes good, safe housing Please see ISSB, Page 2

Seldin Company of Omaha, Neb., has made an offer to purchase Lincoln School for $10,000 with plans to refurbish the old school into senior housing — similar to housing that exists currently at the Iowana Hotel in uptown Creston.

Their site plan — provided to the city of Creston — shows a total of 16 rental units in the school building with adequate commons and fitness areas. These 16 units would be a combination of one and two bedroom apartments. One bedroom rentals would have between 600 and 700 square feet while two bedrooms would have 1,000 to

1,200 square feet.

“What we are hoping to do is take a blighted structure (Lincoln School) and turn it into something the community will be proud of,” said Michael Fallesen, vice president of Affordable Housing Development with Seldin Company. “We like developing old schools because their layout is often a natural progression to housing.”

Additionally, Fallesen said his company has plans of building 13 townhomes on the greenspace between the school and Adams Street.

These would be two-story rentals with three bedrooms and about 1,200 square feet.

Mike Taylor, city adminis-

trator, said about 75 percent of the townhomes and rental units inside Lincoln will be low-to-moderate income housing while 25 percent will be market value priced.

This proposed $4.3 million housing project from Seldin Company would generate an estimated $65,000 in tax revenue each year. That annual revenue would be split between all taxing entities in the county, including the city of Creston.

This project is eligible for a 5-year tax abatement.

It’s unknown at this point, though, if Seldin Company will apply for that abatement.

Taylor did say — even if Creston City Council ap-

proves the sale Tuesday — this purchase agreement with Seldin Company is contingent on them receiving one of two grants.

Those include a Community Development Block grant (CDBG) or Housing Tax Credit grant through Iowa Finance Authority.

Those grants are awarded in February and March, respectively.

“If they don’t receive either (grant), the building would remain city property,” Taylor said. “And, if they are still interested in the building after that (if the two grants are denied), they would have to come back to the city with another proposal.”

after ample time has been allowed for residents and decision makers to consider and discuss values, impacts and alternatives.

“It is unfortunate that this idea came up so quickly as to afford the council a mere 12-days in which to hear from their constituents and make a watershed decision. With more time the developer, the city and UCDA may well have come up with a better plan that would not be so costly in terms of eliminating public open space.”

Knock said an expanded library and cultural center will not generate tax revenues for the city, but the library-cultural center-park project at the former school site might help that neighborhood and the whole town be more attractive to people who might consider moving to Creston to take jobs or to retire in Creston and that this will help sustain property values and civic vitality.

“We have to develop our community to be attractive to different kinds of people and to everyone in families,” Knock said. “Too often we might be attractive to a wage earner for a job opening here but not attractive to the person’s spouse or children, and that can diminish the pool of people willing to come here to fill open positions, or stay here to grow in their careers. Additionally, we can be more attractive as a community for our young people who might leave for a while to become educated or receive training and who we would love to have come back and make their lives and careers here, and to retirement age people who might choose to retire in Creston.”

Knock said that the Lincoln school site is important to him on a personal level.

“I grew up on the 800 block of West Adams Street until I was eight and then on Stone Street,” he

said. “The Lincoln School playgrounds are where I learned how to swing in a swing set, use a teeter totter, climb monkey bars, and later to play baseball and football. We live in the neighborhood now and see children playing there throughout the year, and parents playing with their children there. I believe every neighborhood should have open spaces for children to play and for everyone to enjoy.”

Knock said people should let their city council representatives know what they think about the two proposals. He adds: “Regardless of the outcome of this issue, we will still be neighbors living and working side by side tomorrow and the day after. People may be on different sides about this today and allied together in another cause tomorrow.

“That’s life in a small community.”

for people at every income level, opportunities for employment at and above minimal living wages and cultural and recreational opportunities for all. Our communities’ housing stock is aging; new construction has to be part of the mix.”

Knock talked about community development and the how community development processes can work.

“Our communities need amenities to attract and retain people,” Knock said.

“Through careful longterm planning and thoughtful expenditures the Creston area has modernized Greater Regional Medical Center into a very good critical access facility, built new K-12 schools, built the Arts and Wellness Center, helped SWCC build out the Creston campus, built a hiking and biking trails system, is renewing and updating McKinley and Rainbow Parks, has added housing developments and has maintained our status as a regional employment and retail center.

“On balance, we believe selling this public space that has been used for children’s recreation for over 80 years to a developer who wants to build and rent or sell housing should only be done

And why can’t the autoflush wait until the stall door opens to flush? — Henry in San Antonio Henry, nice to hear from you, and gee, you get to read the column first! This is a “hot” topic!

Horoscope Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a busy, upbeat day for you! Short trips, errands and conversations with siblings, relatives and daily contacts will fill your schedule. Expect a fast pace!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s easy to identify with what you own today, which is why you don’t want to lend something. Yes, you can even feel sentimental about that $50 bill.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the Moon is in your sign, which gives you a bit of extra good luck. Yay! However, it can amp your emotions, so you feel a tad reactionary to everyone. Easy does it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Work alone or behind the scenes today, because this will make you feel good. You need to withdraw from too much busyness around you.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Conversation with a female acquaintance could be significant today. Talk about your future hopes and dreams, because this person might help you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Personal details about your private life might be made public today. Fear not, because others might learn about how selfless and caring you are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Do something to expand your horizons today. Go someplace you’ve never been. Take a different route to or from work.

See more of the world so that you feel you’re getting more out of life!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Focus on shared property, taxes, debt and details about inheritances, wills and estates.

If you give this even 30 minutes of your attention, you’ll feel good.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because the Moon is opposite your sign today, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others.

This simply requires patience, tolerance and some compromise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Work to get better organized today, both at home and on your job. In addition, do something to take care of your health. Even just a bit of effort will boost your self-respect.

(Life is funny that way.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A playful day! Enjoy saucy flirtations, the theater, social diversions, sports events and fun times with children. Live it up a little!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Home, family and your personal life are your top priority today. A heart-to-heart conversation with a female relative will be rewarding.

YOU BORN TODAY Your self-confidence is what helps you promote your often-brilliant ideas; plus, you are ambi-

tious and patient enough to wait for the right opportunity to act. You are very private about your personal life. Go slowly this year. There is something important that you will learn. The first half of the year will seem slow, but soon your efforts in the past six years will start to show results!

Deere to lay off FOOD PANTRY: 600 employees at Midwest sites Continued from Page 1

MOLINE, Ill. (AP) — Agricultural equipment maker Deere is announcing it will indefinitely lay off more than 600 employees at four of its factories in the Midwest as demand slumps.

The affected sites are in the cities of East Moline and Moline in Illinois, as well as Ankeny, Iowa, and Coffeyville, Kansas.

Deere & Co. said in a news release Friday that “to remain globally competitive, the company must align the size of its manu-

facturing workforce with market demands for products.”

Deere is the world’s biggest farm equipment supplier.

The company said it is also implementing seasonal and inventory adjustment shutdowns and temporary layoffs at the four affected factories as well as one in Ottumwa, Iowa.

Earlier this week, the company announced that its third-quarter profit dropped 15 percent as sales weakened.

“Others may need some assistance with a heating bill, a light bill, ... rent ... or gas to be able to get to work on a job outside the Creston

area.”

O’Riley said the support of the volunteers and funding organizations allow UCC and partners to carry out their mission.

“We have a lot of families

with both parents working at minimum wage and trying to raise families,” O’Riley said. “It’s a struggle to make ends meet. So, this is a place where they can come.”

Iowa farm creates corn maze of Al Roker’s face ATKINS (AP) — An eastern Iowa farm has found a creative way to celebrate “Today” show weatherman Al Roker’s 60th birthday.

Bloomsbury Farm in Atkins has put together a 10acre corn maze that shows Roker’s face and reads, “Happy 60th Al.” Farm owners Dave and Karen Petersen have chosen a different theme for their corn maze each year for more than a decade.

They work with The Maize Company, which designs and cuts the corn.

Karen Peterson says the couple chose Roker because “he seems like a great guy.” They also appreciate his charity work.

The corn maze took six hours to cut and includes two miles for the public to explore.

It formally opens during the Labor Day weekend and runs through Halloween.

National Digest

Marion moves CLEVELAND — Shawn Marion wanted another shot at an NBA title. He’ll get it playing with LeBron James.

The free agent forward has agreed to a contract with the Cavaliers, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Sunday. The 36-year-old Marion informed the Cavs this weekend that he will take a minimum deal and play for them next season.

Marion also had interest in signing with the Indiana Pacers, who is looking for help after losing Paul George for the season with a broken leg.

The Cavs can only offer Marion a deal worth $1.4 million because they’re out of room under the salary cap.

Moving up DETROIT — Lloyd McClendon was upset after he was thrown out by umpire Tony Randazzo for the second straight game. At least this time it came in a victory for his Seattle Mariners.

Chris Young pitched six shutout innings and Seattle beat Detroit 8-1 Sunday, winning the weekend series and moving back ahead of the Tigers in the race for the second AL wild-card spot.

Park wins PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Calm under the intense pressure of a playoff at a major, Inbee Park added another title to her impressive LPGA Tour resume.

Park successfully defended her title in the LPGA Championship, beating Brittany Lincicome with a par on the first hole of a playoff Sunday to end the United States’ major streak at three.

“I didn’t feel that nervous at all today,” said Park, also a playoff winner last year. “But once I got to the tee on the playoff hole, I just felt the nerves right away. It was like a replay of last year and experience definitely helped me out. I think I was able to stay calm.”

The victory came on a bittersweet day when the LPGA Tour bade farewell to the Rochester area after 38 years.

Next year, the tour will team with the PGA of America to run the Women’s PGA Championship at Westchester Country Club near New York City.

Minor shines ATLANTA — If this was a glimpse of what Mike Minor might have to offer over the next six weeks, the Braves have reason to feel optimistic about their future, which was brightened on Sunday night when they completed a threegame sweep with a 4-3 win over the A’s.

“That’s the Mike Minor of old,” Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said.

Coaches association names Lenox’s Gordon all-stater Lenox catcher Dustin Gordon was the only area baseball player selected to one of the all-state teams announced by the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association last Gordon weekend.

Gordon was one of two

catchers named to the second team in Class 1A. Pitcher Otis Roby of state champion Twin Cedars was named captain of the 1A all-state team.

Roby, Glenwood first baseman Corey Bertini and Eddy Kraber of Martensdale-St. Marys were named to the 2014 All-State Super Team that included players from all four classes.

Besides being a dependable receiver of Lenox

pitchers and halting opposing running games, Gordon was an offensive force in the Tiger lineup.

He finished third in Class 1A this year with an onbase percentage of .690, while batting .462. Gordon walked 25 times and was hit by pitch 23 times, which ranked second in the state in all classes.

SWCC gains softball recruits Coach Lindsay Stumpff has announced two new softball recruits at Southwestern Community College.

Malory Christiansen, former Tri-Center Neola pitching standout, recently made the decision to transfer from Doane College in Crete, Neb., to Southwestern Community College for the fall 2014 semester, bringing additional pitching experience to the Spartan team.

SWCC head coach Lindsay Stumpff is excited to have more power in her pitching department.

“Malory brings great knowledge and leadership to our squad, having a year of experience at the college level under her belt,” Stumpff explained. “Along with being an offensive workhorse, she has great velocity on her pitch, but also moves the ball extremely well.”

In high school, Christiansen was named third team all-state two years, first team all-district three years, first team all-conference two years, and second team allconference one year.

Christiansen said she is excited to join the SWCC squad and made her decision because she like the small campus and was impressed by the great softball program Stumpff has built.

She is the daughter of Lynn and Nancy Christiansen of Persia.

Carlisle grad Stumpff said she was in the right place at the right time to land a strong, quick,

and agile player who, in the coach’s words, “was definitely overlooked” while finishing up her high school career.”

Gabryelle DuBois, a May 2014 graduate of Carlisle High School, will join the Spartan softball team this fall. She comes to SWCC after four straight state softball appearances with the Carlisle Wildcats. She was named to the 2014 State Softball All-Tournament Team.

Stumpff said DuBois will be a great addition to her squad and will bring much

needed speed to make things happen on the basepaths.

“Gabby is an extremely versatile player who has the ability to make a huge impact wherever she plays,” Stumpff stated. “She has a very strong arm defensively and can play the short game just as well as the long ball.”

DuBois, the daughter of Shannon and Bob DuBois of Des Moines, said she chose Southwestern because she wanted to continue playing softball, liked the campus, and thought SWCC would be a great fit.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Cam Newton made a successful return following ankle surgery, Jonathan Stewart ran for two touchdowns and the Carolina Panthers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 28-16 on Sunday night.

Newton completed 4 of 9 passes for 65 yards and led a pair of touchd o w n drives in the preseason game before exiting late in Newton the second quarter with Carolina (1-1) up 14-6.

Stewart ran for 26 yards on four carries and made a strong case to be the Panthers’ goal-line back — if not their primary ball carrier — with scoring runs of 3 and 2 yards.

Carolina’s first three possessions netted a yard and no first downs. Newton compounded the problem by overthrowing Kelvin Benjamin on a deep ball after the rookie receiver got behind the secondary.

But Stewart replaced DeAngelo Williams and immediately gave the Panthers a boost with a 17yard carry around left end.

The Panthers found their rhythm after that, driving 66 and 50 yards for touchdowns on their next two possessions.

“We had a slow start tonight, which is unacceptable,” Newton said. “We have to stay on schedule and not waste opportunities like the shot to Benji.

Kansas City’s a good football team and we didn’t match their intensity early, but it was good to put a few drives together and score some points.”

Kansas City’s Alex Smith finished 14 of 22 for 127 yards.

The Chiefs (1-1) moved the ball well early on without star running back Jamaal Charles, but were forced to settle for a pair of field goals — one of them a 54-yarder by Ryan Succup.

Kansas City’s search for a reliable No. 2 receiver continues.

Dwayne Bowe, who will

miss the first game of the regular season because of an NFL-imposed suspension, had five catches for 62 yards but none of the Chiefs’ other wide receivers stood out.

Rookie quarterback Aaron Murray’s first NFL pass was for a 43-yard touchdown strike to tight end Travis Kelce, but he later threw an interception leading to a Carolina touchdown.

Newton had to shake off some early rust.

He missed on five of his first six passes and was sacked for a 13-yard loss, leading to three straight three-and-outs to start the game. He didn’t run the ball at all because coach Ron Rivera didn’t want to chance him reinjuring his left ankle.

Carolina benefited from a 32-yard pass interference penalty on Chiefs cornerback Ron Parker that set up Stewart’s first TD — a run in which the 5-foot-10, 235-pounder bounced off a defender and bowled his way into the end zone.

Newton connected on a 24-yard pass to Benjamin over the middle on Carolina’s next series leading to Stewart’s second score.

Sharp return It was an encouraging return to the field for Stewart, a former first-round draft pick who has missed 17 games the past two seasons with foot and ankle injuries. Stewart has been limited to 516 yards rushing and one touchdown the past two seasons after rushing for 3,500 yards and 26 TDs during his first four seasons in Carolina.

“It’s been a while since I’ve touched the end zone,” said Stewart, who sat out the first preseason game because of a hamstring injury. “It’s the preseason so it’s good to get my feet wet and get back into the groove.”

The Panthers had a chance to extend their lead before halftime, but Benjamin lost his cool and headbutted Chiefs defensive back Chris Owens. That cost the Panthers 15 yards and took them out of field goal range.

Jameis Winston and defending national champion Florida State are No. 1 in The Associated Press preseason college football poll.

The Seminoles will start the season No. 1 for the sixth time — the first since 1999 when they became the first team to hold the top spot for the entire season.

Florida State received 57 of 60 first-place votes Sunday from the media panel.

No. 2 Alabama, No. 3 Or-

egon and No. 4 Oklahoma each received one firstplace vote. Ohio State is No. 5 and Auburn is No. 6.

Winston, the Heisman Trophy winner last season as a redshirt freshman, led Florida State to a 34-31 victory against Auburn in the last BCS national championship game.

This season the Bowl Championship Series is being replaced by the College Football Playoff. A selection committee will pick the top four teams in the country for two national semifinals.

The rest of the top 10 is UCLA at No. 7, followed

by Michigan State, South Carolina and Baylor.

The Southeastern Conference matched its own record for most teams in the preseason poll from one conference with eight.

The Pac-12 is next with six, the best showing for that conference.

The AP preseason poll started in 1950 and since then 10 preseason No. 1 teams have gone on to finish the season ranked No. 1, including Florida State twice (1993 and ‘99).

Royals score 7 in second Kids Day: Stats and impressions in beating Twins, 12-6 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Kansas City Royals scored seven runs in the second inning. Then they really started hitting the ball.

Alex Gordon, Salvador Perez and Josh Willingham homered, and the Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 12-6 on Sunday for their 20th win in their last 25 games.

Kansas City sent 11 batters to the plate in the big second, keyed by two-run singles for Alcides Escobar and Nori Aoki. The Royals then started hitting the ball out of the park after a 54-minute rain delay in the fourth.

Gordon sent one drive into a flower bed in rightcenter. Perez lined one into the left-field seats, and Willingham’s homer traveled an estimated 433 feet into the third deck in left field.

“Those tack on runs are huge,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

The Royals also increased their AL Central lead to 1 1/2 games over Detroit, which lost 8-1 to Seattle.

This is the latest the Royals have been in first place since 2003.

Kansas City’s Jeremy Guthrie (9-10) returned to the mound after the delay in the fourth and lasted seven innings, yielding home runs

by Joe Mauer and Kennys Vargas.

Oswaldo Arcia also went

deep for Minnesota, hitting a two-run drive off Jason Frasor in the eighth for his 11th homer.

But Kansas City’s postrain delay power surge helped it remain in control despite the Twins showing some power of their own.

“You gotta fight for 27 outs,” Perez said. “We continued to play hard. We needed to keep hitting it until the game was over.”

In his second start with Minnesota since coming over in a trade from Oakland, Tommy Milone (6-4) allowed seven runs in a career-low 1 1-3 innings.

“Awful. The first inning was good, the second one was pretty awful,” Milone said. “Couldn’t get a good feel, try not to walk guys, left the ball over the plate. It was pretty tough.”

The first pitch was delayed 34 minutes in anticipation of a rain shower that never happened. The rain did arrive as the second inning started and got worse until umpires called the players off the field with one out in the bottom of the fourth.

After managing just one run in Saturday night’s 4-1 loss, the Royals scored 10 or more for just the third time since June 17.

“With the weather and everything, we were pretty good,” Perez said. “We fought through it.”

By MARC MOREHOUSE The Gazette

IOWA CITY — We start with QB ...

I’ve written a lot about the possibility of QB C.J. Beathard getting some sort of share of playing time in games that matter. That still could be a reality, but Saturday, it didn’t show at all and I think here’s why: Junior Jake Rudock sees the field and goes through progressions more fully than the sophomore Beathard.

Too many times during Saturday’s scrimmage, Beathard seemed to lock into the middle third of the field. He looked off one or two options and went for the jackpot. Those completions come with a much lower percentage, of course.

Beathard had a streak of 2-for-9 before finishing 13 of 28 for 172 yards. His best drive came right after a Rudock 58-yard TD pass to WR Kevonte MartinManley that was a beautiful catch-and-run on MartinManley’s part, slipping a tackle attempt by strong safety John Lowdermilk and sprinting away from a cover 0 on a blitz.

Beathard answered with a 45 pass to TE George Kittle, who got behind safety Anthony Gair and made a nice adjustment on the ball, and a 17-yarder to Kittle.

The drive went five plays and ended with RB Akrum Wadley scoring from the 1.

Later in the scrimmage, Beathard looked for checkdown throws and moved the ball more efficiently.

This all said, they didn’t

finish that far apart in the numbers. Rudock completed 15 of 26 for 169 yards and a TD. Head coach Kirk Ferentz said he liked both QBs after the scrimmage. It’s easy to see why. Rudock maximizes his skills by making smart decisions. Beathard has a big arm. Somewhere between the two, Iowa has a chance for an attack quarterback.

One great thing for both Saturday, no turnovers.

Rush is coming right ...

DE Nate Meier played really well. Ferentz mentioned the 6-2, 244-pounder from Fremont-Mills as one of the defense’s most improved players. He really got under right tackle Andrew Donnal’s pads and rode leverage to more than a few pressures and at least one sack. Last year against Nebraska, Huskers all-Big Ten DE Randy Gregory was stalemated against left tackle Brandon Scherff, so he tried the right side.

Right tackle Brett Van Sloten, who’s in the Baltimore Ravens camp, held his own.

Get ready for a lot of that this season. Teams will try Scherff, but they won’t waste their time if they think they can have success on the other side. Donnal is going to see a share of toptier pass rushers.

Walk-on stars of the day ... I’m probably going to miss someone, but here

are three walk-ons I really liked: 1. Tight end Peter Pekar — I know, it’s hard to take seriously a tight end who wears a number in the 90s, but Pekar, a 6-4, 235-pound redshirt freshman from Greendale, Wis., had a day. His best moment was a back-shoulder completion from Beathard. It was a beauty of a pass and catch for 15 yards that linebacker John Kenny couldn’t have covered any better. Give Kenny credit. That duo tried to hookup with another back-shoulder throw, but he made the play.

2. WR Andrew Stone — The senior from Cedar Falls caught four passes for 33 yards for the second team. Really smooth transition from catch to run. Soft hands.

3. LB Bo Bower — Senior LB Quinton Alston called this “tryout day” for a lot of the linebackers, meaning guys were being tried in different roles than they had seen in camp.

Bower, a 6-1, 220-pound redshirt freshman from West Branch, has definitely made some headway on the depth chart. He’s probably the fifth LB who’ll go into games, mostly as an outside linebacker. He’ll definitely be a special teams stalwart.

Wadley showing up ...

It’s hard to read anything into running back. Mark Weisman and Damon Bullock logged no carries and haven’t seen much live action in camp. Jordan Canzeri saw just a handful (BTW, Canzeri has a knack in the passing game — one reception for 19 yards — and can make defenders

look silly in space) of carries.

Wadley made the most of his chance. He 10 times for 39 yards and scored on a 1-yard run.

The 5-11, 180-pound redshirt freshman probably doesn’t see the rotation, but could work his way into consideration for kick return.

Arrow up on Daniels ...

I thought sophomore RB LeShun Daniels had a productive scrimmage, rushing 10 times for 32 yards and two TDs. Daniels gained 15 yards on an outside zone rush that showed he understands when to press the hole and how to be patient. He chops his feet on the goal line, but showed decent lean behind the pads for two successful shortyardage runs Saturday.

Carl Davis looked in midseason form ... The 6-5, 315-pounder’s first step is shockingly quick. He was a force all day Saturday.

It’s almost ridiculous how quickly he can dip his shoulder into a rip move. The training here is apparent.

He smelled double teams and went right at them. It’s camp practice No. 16 for a fifth-year senior DT and he looked like a true freshman trying to impress coaches.

Kicking ... Yikes ... Ferentz said Saturday was an uncharactistically bad day for the kickers. He said they’ve been solid in camp and that they’ve looked much better since spring, when he had legit worries on how it might turn out.

Marshall Koehn, Mick Ellis and Miguel Recinos combined for 10 of 16 on field goal attempts.

Gordon races to first win at Michigan since 2001 BROOKLYN, Mich.

(AP) — It had been 13 years since Jeff Gordon’s last victory at Michigan — which came during the same season as his most recent championship on NASCAR’s top series.

One of those droughts is finally over. Can the 43-year-old driver end the other as well?

“Certainly things are going well — there’s no doubt about that,” Gordon said.

“I’m as shocked as anybody else.”

Gordon raced to his third Sprint Cup victory of the year, holding off Kevin Harvick on Sunday for his first win at Michigan International Speedway since 2001.

Gordon broke the track qualifying record Friday when he took the pole at

206.558 mph. He followed that up with his third Cup victory at MIS — and took over the points lead from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. After a series of cautions, Gordon came off the final restart well and led with 16 laps remaining. He fought off a challenge from Joey Logano and maintained a comfortable margin over Harvick, winning the 400mile race by 1.412 seconds in his No. 24 Chevrolet.

Harvick was second, followed by Logano, Paul Menard and Earnhardt.

Gordon completed a sweep at MIS for Hendrick.

Jimmie Johnson won the June race on the two-mile oval.

Polaris hiring as it expands line of motorcycles DES MOINES (AP) — Sales of Indian motorcycles are strong enough to support more jobs at the Iowa plant that makes them.

Polaris Industries expects to hire 300 more people at its Spirit Lake, Iowa, plant that already employs more than 700.

Final assembly of the motorcycles will be done there, The Des Moines Register reported.

The Minneapolis-based company is hiring because it is expanding its Indian line of motorcycles to include the lighter, less-expensive Scout. Polaris revived the Indian brand of motorcycles in 2013 with three models.

Sales of Indian motorcycles have been strong for Polaris, but the brand remains well behind industry leader Harley-Da-

vidson.

Polaris’ Steve Menneto said the company is confident there will be strong demand for the revived Scout model, which should be available later this year starting at $10,999.

“It was always known as that bike that was cuttingedge,” he said. “It was easy to ride, it was nimble, it was powerful, it was really the leading bike of its time.”

The original Scout motorcycles were one of Indian’s most popular models. It was made beginning in 1920, and the U.S. Army used 30,000 of them during World War II. In Cedar Rapids, McGrath Powersports became an Indian motorcycle dealer this summer, said general manager Jeremy Richardson.
