AFTON – Shooters now have another option at the High Lakes Outdoor Alliance shooting range – a new skeet field, which will be usable as early as next week.

“You can shoot pistols and long rifles and .22s and muzzleloaders, and then you can go down and shoot trap at 16 yards all the way back to 27 yards, and now you can shoot another form of entertainment, skeet, and it’s real popular,” said Tom Lesan, High Lakes Outdoor Alliance treasurer.

This year, the 4-year-old shooting range, located north of Afton, has garnered 358 paid members.

An annual membership is $45, or shooters can pay $5 for one day at the range.

Skeet is both a recreationSkeet al and competitive activity Skeet shooting is one of in which participants use three main disciplines of competitive clay-pigeon SKEET | 14A there’s eight stations and an arch around,” Lesan said.

There are also exterior lights to illuminate the fields for those wanting to shoot after daylight.

Creston residents pushing a substantial amount of grass, leaves or other debris from their residences into streets or alleys will soon be fined a minimum of $200.

This amendment to the city debris ordinance is in the works, and during Tuesday’s Creston City Council meeting, the council approved 6-0 a public hearing on the matter to be held during the next meeting.

“Basically, the impact of this is (debris) ends up in the storm sewers,” said Jim Bristow, Creston waste water superintendent, during the Aug. 2 meeting. “ E v e r y - Bristow

thing that does go into the storm sewer system ends up in Hurley Creek, which ends up in McKinley Lake.”

The ordinance will be amended to make it unlawful for a person to throw or deposit grass, leaves, soil, rocks, trash or other debris into any street or alley.

The purpose of the amendment is to eliminate substances in streets or alleys that are likely to injure a person or animal, cause damage to a vehicle or clog the storm sewer.

At the Aug. 2 meeting, Creston Police Chief Paul Ver Meer said debris in a street or alley from a residence will be considered a violation if the debris is at least 4 feet wide and 2 inches deep.

Under the amendment, if any city employee or official is made aware of such a violation, he or she should take pictures and document the date and time. Then, the landowner of the adjacent property to the street or alley will be assessed a cleanup or storm sewer assessment fee that is a minimum of $200 plus a charge of $100 CITY | 2A

Uber to use autonomous cars to haul people in next few weeks SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Uber passengers in Pittsburgh will be able to summon rides in self-driving cars with the touch of a smartphone button in the next several weeks.

The high-tech ride-hailing company said Thursday that an unspecified number of autonomous Ford Fusions with human backup drivers will pick up passengers just like normal Uber vehicles. Riders will be able to opt in if they want a self-driving car, and rides will be free to those willing to do it, spokesman Matt Kallman said.

Uber, which has a

self-driving research lab in Pittsburgh, has no immediate plans to deploy self-driving cars beyond the Pittsburgh experiment. But its CEO, Travis Kalanick, has said the ride-sharing company’s future — indeed, the future of all transportation — is driverless.

“When there’s no other dude in the car, the cost of taking an Uber anywhere becomes cheaper than owning a vehicle. So the magic there is, you basically bring the cost below the cost of ownership for everybody,

Today is Aug. 18, the 231st day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 135 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Aug. 15-21) in history:

10 years ago Highway 34 between Creston and Thayer became a safer route for motorists with a new surface plus rumble strips in the center and on both shoulders. The halfinch deep grooves were 18 inches wide by seven inches long and spaced less than a foot apart continuously from Creston to Thayer. Iowa’s Department of Transportation said putting the strips in the center line was a new safety concept in Iowa.

Several area youth were in the talent sprouts division of the Bill Riley Iowa State Fair Talent Search contest in Des Moines. Hannah and Abbey Murphy of Macksburg performed a tap duet, Kelsey Roberts of Corning and Madison Geary and Alan Smith, both of Creston, performed a clogging trio, Abbey Bakerink and Cayden Shiltz, both of Creston, performed a clog duet, Jessica Tamerius and Jacob Rutledge, both of Creston, performed a clog duet and Kimleigh Quam and Breanna Wallace, both of Creston, also performed a clog duet.

20 years ago Creston VFW Post 1797 sponsored a banquet to honor 50-year members at the Berning Motor Inn. Members received a certificate, patches and pins. They

per hour that is required for any street cleanup or storm-sewer cleaning.

Any property owners who do not provide payment as required will be assessed by the city for such costs, which will be collected in the same manner as general property taxes.

Before the amendment takes effect, the council will hold a public hearing and do three readings. The public hearing is scheduled 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6.

Storage containers After consideration of a drafted ordinance on exterior storage containers and trailers during the Aug. 2 city council meeting, Brad Johnson with BJ Storage in Creston approached the council with concerns about the ordinance during Tuesday’s meeting.

“I believe these storage containers are probably one of the best methods of storage that’s offered today,” Johnson said.

“They’re durable, they’re water-tight, ... all things

A new scoreboard at the Townline football field was erected by Tim Hunter of Afton and workers from the Iowa Direct Equipment Co. of Cedar Falls. According to CHS Activities Director Curt Olson, the total costs were estimated at $12,000 to $13,000 paid for with a combination of local fundraising efforts and an anonymous donation.

Breezi Mayne of Afton pumped up the crowd during her Kermit Johnson of Cres- performance at the Iowa Idol semifinals in August 2006.

She was selected as one of six finalists set to perform in ton, junior at Iowa State the Susan Knapp Amphitheater at the Iowa State Fair.

National Forest Service in Colorado, was one of two men who found a missing three-year-old Colorado girl in the rugged Rocky Mountains northwest of Denver.

The girl had been missing overnight for about 25 hours. Mike Edrington, also of Creston and with the forest service, had assisted with the search, too.

Three helium balloons released in Creston by Da-

vid Swanson, 15, after attending the county fair in Afton, were found unbroken on a farm near Breda a week later. David had tied the balloons together with a note attached containing his address and asking the finder to notify him. A truck driver wrote and told him while driving two miles west of Breda he saw them caught on a corn stalk in a

field.

An ad for “Our Explorer Heritage - Iowa State Fair” held Aug. 19-28 was featuring the biggest, most exciting show of the year – Lawrence Welk in person and the entire “Lawrence Welk Show,” including the Lennon sisters, would be performing every night Aug. 23-27 and the afternoon of Aug. 26.

you can’t get with a typical building or even a little portable shed.”

While Johnson has a stake in the matter as the owner of a storage company, he said he agrees with Mayor Gary Lybarger’s statement during the Aug. 2 meeting that run-down storage units are not fit for neighborhoods.

“The used containers that have been in circulation for probably the past 10 years – that’s where you find the dents, scratches, rust ... which isn’t feasible for residential areas; it’s unsightly,” Johnson said. “ I ’ v e tried to discourage this from happening if Johnson somebody comes to ask about purchasing one in a residential area, which really doesn’t happen very often. I try to avoid it because I don’t

want the junk showing up in town. I don’t want to cause that problem.”

However, Johnson argued new storage units should be allowed in residential areas on a temporary basis.

“As far as new containers go, I believe they’re probably a far better choice than what I’m seeing for the little sheds being offered today. I don’t think those are going to last more than 10, 15 years the way I’m seeing them constructed,” he said.

“Plus, most people utilize these containers and then want to get rid of them as soon as possible because they’re tired of paying rent on them. It’s not a cheap process.”

Johnson said he only knows of three containers on residential properties in Creston that are not temporary and four that are temporary, so he doesn’t think it is a major problem as of now.

After hearing Johnson’s concerns and his request to

allow people in residential areas to use new, well-kept storage units on a temporary basis, the council agreed to include Johnson in further discussions on the proposed storage-unit ordinance.

A committee is being formed to discuss the ordinance further, and it will be brought before the council at a future meeting.

6 regarding an easement request from Aureon Technology to place buried cable in city right of way.

• The council approved the naming of the City of Creston depositories.

• The council approved the annual street finance report.

• The council approved a new route and street closures for the Southern Prairie YMCA’s annual Balloon Days walk/run.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, August 18, 2016

College moving day opens door to a new chapter I’ve been seeing a lot of posts on social media recently about moving kids off to college for the first time.

A painful rite of passage for parents, no doubt.

Locally, we’ll be seeing a lot of that activity this weekend at Southwestern Community College.

It takes us back to August 2004.

Driving back east on I-80 from Salt Lake City through the Wasatch Mountains, Deb and I both wept as we left oldest son Brett behind at the University of Utah, knowing he would only be back in Creston during the Christmas break. It was

Straight shots Larry Peterson senior feature writer

probably the first time I felt those emotions since my parents died in 1993 and 2000.

Three years later, Keith moved off to Iowa City as a freshman at the University of Iowa, leaving us empty-nesters forever. He would never reside in Creston again, even in the summers. He found his own

niche in Iowa City and thrived there.

Brett moved to Iowa City, as well, later on to finish in a different major, but the same feelings rekindled as he and wife Shawna embarked on a new chapter for Brett’s graduate school in Nashville at Belmont University. It was also where Shawna was trained in her new life, now as one of the most talented makeup artists in all of central Iowa.

That’s the key point for all the parents feeling the pain of loss and change right now. It’s rewarding to

see them grow and thrive as young adults. You realize you did your job as they show independence and their own individual talents emerge.

It’s a new chapter. And it takes time to heal from the initial loss.

But you adjust and it’s a whole new sense of love and pride to see them doing well on their own.

As Deb and I had a recent getaway to Chicago, I’d see a father trying to corral two young boys in a truck stop, getting their snacks, and it took me back. I loved being a daddy to our two little boys. I’d

go back in a heartbeat. It was the best time of my life.

But, time is unrelenting. It moves on without our permission.

Suddenly, you’re old and a grandparent.

You did your job. Now, watch the fruits of your labor grow and blossom.

But, if you have to stop and grab a tissue on moving day, we understand.

Frankenstein’s anniversary HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Castle Frankenstein in Darmstadt, Germany, reports a surge in tourism this month on the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.” Most tourists have just one fear-based question about the monster. Does the doctor have him on the Teleprompter or is he ad-libbing today?

Caitlyn Jenner gave a lengthy interview on ESPN Tuesday reviewing tapes of her performance in the Olympics 40 years ago when she won the men’s decathlon. She looks even younger today. It’s been estimated that if Botox was lethal, half of Beverly Hills would be dead, counting the children.

Hugh Hefner completed the sale of the Playboy Mansion Tuesday to his young neighbor and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer heir. Hefner gets to live there until he dies. An elevator was recently installed in the house so that the 90-year-old Hefner can get up and down his 30-year-old wife.

Lamar Odom disclosed on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” he’s going to an NBA basketball clinic to get back in playing shape but the family’s skeptical. Lamar’s barber in Compton was just arrested for dealing drugs. Lamar’s been his customer for six years, and had no idea he was a barber.

Black Lives Matter protestors were turned away by police at Graceland in Memphis during the anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death. He sang the blues, he sang gospel, he died of a drug overdose and his daughter married Michael Jackson. No one ever did more to meet the protestors halfway.

Donald Trump issued a sincere pitch for the African-American vote Tuesday in his Milwaukee speech. As always, he was hounded afterwards by the fact-checkers.

During his speech, Trump claimed he carried the black voters in the West Virginia primary but they turned out to be coal miners.

Donald Trump appointed GOP pollster Kelly Anne Conway to run his presidential campaign on

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Tuesday and help Trump better connect with Millennial-age voters. She got to work quickly.

An hour later, Trump noted that before Obama, there were no Pokemon wandering around our cities.

The FBI told Congress the classified material Hillary Clinton sent over her private unsecured server is so sensitive only the Intelligence Committee can see it. She might have been completely unaware.

Twenty years ago, it took two special prosecutors to convince her Bill had a wandering eye.

Donald Trump shook up his campaign staff Wednesday, demoting people who have been trying to civilize him on-stage and promoting people who want him to be himself. Trump is resisting calls to be more thoughtful and considerate and polite. People don’t watch porn to shop for hospital uniforms.

Donald Trump brought Governor Chris Christie to a national security briefing Wednesday. It was educational. By the time it was over, the CIA knew the best place to put a Trump Mosque and Casino in Syria and how to defeat ISIS by closing down the only bridge that leads to their offices.

Aetna joined Humana in pulling out of ObamaCare state exchanges due to heavy losses in 11 states. It’s because older, sick people signed up for ObamaCare and young healthy people feel no need to sign up. They’re convinced they can get well when it’s time just by going to meetings.

The Olympics audience in Rio was stunned when Japanese pole-vaulter Hiroki Ogita knocked off the crossbar with his penis as he soared over it. It slipped out of his shorts in mid-flight. If they can get a senior citizen to do this stunt, it could replace the double bathtubs in the Cialis commercials.

High school seniors can’t go wrong serving others

By Jeffrey F. Bullock, Ph.D. volunteers: President of the University of Dubuque

The new school year will be here before we know it and high school seniors will be filled with a mixture of anticipation, excitement and anxiety as they think about what lies ahead of them.

As they decide which college to attend or job to seek, some students already know which career paths they want to follow and many others have absolutely no idea. In either case, both of which are natural by the way, I hope all students will consider how they can serve others today, tomorrow and into the future.

Too often, we think of serving others as something reserved for the clergy, teachers, doctors, nurses, police, firefighters, the military and similar professions.

But we all can – and should – serve others. Volunteering creates a stronger sense of community, inspires and motivates others to act for the greater good and makes the world – and our communities – a better place.

It’s a way to express how thankful we are for the blessings that we have received and to, in turn, be a blessing to those we are serving. Volunteering is proven to enhance self-esteem, develop skills and character, improve our health and even add years to our lives. I don’t know how many times people who volunteer have uttered the same words, “I got far more out of it than I put into it.” So, the old saying that it is better to give than receive really is true.

In the April 2012 article “Why helping others makes us happy,” U.S. News and World Report writer Phillip Moeller offered these insights specific to young

• “Children who volunteer are more likely to grow up to be adults who volunteer. Even unwilling children who volunteer fare better than kids who don’t volunteer.”

• “‘Among teenagers, even at-risk children who volunteer reap big benefits,’ according to research findings studied by Jane Allyn Piliavin, a retired University of Wisconsin sociologist. She cites a positive effect on grades, self-concept and attitudes toward education. ‘Volunteering also led to reduced drug use and huge declines in dropout rates and teen pregnancies.’”

• “‘Other research links youth volunteering to a higher quality of life as an adult,’ Piliavin adds.

‘Participating in high school tends to boost participating in adulthood, which is related to enhanced well-being. One clear message from this for parents: Get your children involved in community volunteer programs.’”

At the University of Dubuque, service to others and character development are ingrained in our students, faculty, staff and alumni because we know how important it is to promoting a better quality of life. The Wendt Character Initiative, established in 2004, promotes a campus culture that nurtures the formation of excellent moral character, and encourages all members of the community to live lives of purpose. And, that’s just what we see happening.

For example, Assistant Director of Admissions Jose Escoriza, a member of the Class of 2009, runs marathons, but he also enjoys participating in races to raise awareness and money for Alzheimer’s research and the

Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Brianna Caldwell graduated in May with a Bachelor of Science degree. She plans to stay at the University of Dubuque (UD) to earn a master’s degree in business administration and work as a graduate assistant, but she intends to serve the greater good by conducting coral reef restoration in the future.

Rabea Muneer Ali and his wife, Razan Murad, traveled from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to further their education. They recently graduated with Master’s degrees in communication and were active in promoting student involvement. Rabea helped launch the Saudi Students Organization at UD to introduce Saudi culture and tradition to students, and to the City of Dubuque.

Rev. Tim Polley worked in security for John Deere for 20 years before graduating from the UD Theological Seminary in 2011 and now enjoys a second career as a pastor. Even in a profession devoted to others, Polley still takes time to volunteer. He serves as chaplain for the Carrollton, Kentucky Police Department, helps collect food for his local food pantry and even inspired one of his seminary classmates to become chaplain for the Ottumwa Police Department, according to The News-Democrat in Carrollton.

No matter what path this year’s seniors choose as they prepare for college and careers, they will never stray if they include service to others as a vital part of their journey.

A suede shield Dear Heloise: I bought a beautiful beige SUEDE BAG for fall. I love it, but I’m scared to get it wet, and what if it gets dirty? Help!

-- Holly W., Wichita Falls, Texas Holly, remember the old saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure? Treat your bag with a water repellent, available at the supermarket or drugstore, while it’s new and clean.

I did this with my suede boots before riding my Russian Ural motorcycle. Heloise Hint: It’s better to apply TWO light coats and dry completely in between coats instead of using one heavy coat.

If a small spot happens, rub with a gum eraser, available at art-supply stores.

A dry cleaner who specializes in leather can deepclean. Look online or in the phone book for one, or ask your dry cleaner who he or she would recommend.

To maintain the nap, brush the suede regularly and lightly. -- Heloise BRIDAL-SHOWER HINTS Dear Heloise: My sister’s friend is getting married soon. One fun bridal shower we’re planning involves hints! For the party, we are each bringing her cleaning supplies and our favorite cleaning and organizing

FAMILY CIRCUS®

Hints from Heloise pointers and preferences!

Not elegant -- it’ll just be a casual, relaxed evening, sharing our fave household helpers and how-tos! -- Nancy B., Hammond, Ind. Nancy, I think it’s brilliant and a fun way to help supply a new bride with needed and essential -- but not really “elegant,” as you say -- items. There are many types of showers, and I’ve put hints and suggestions for these, as well as other hints, in my Bridal Gown Hints and More pamphlet. If you would like to order one, please visit www.Heloise. com, or send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (68 cents) envelope to: Heloise-Bridal, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 782795001. There are hints about what to do and not do when buying and storing a bridal gown -- very important information! -- Hugs, Heloise CHALK IT UP Dear Heloise: My new favorite “cleaner” is chalk.

I’ve lived in my house for 14 years. It was painted white on the inside.

White chalk fills in old nail holes and covers scratch-

es and even large nicks on the wall and trim, including doors and baseboards.

The chalk also worked on my shower’s marks, on the grease-splattered wall above my stove and on my light-gray carpet. My house looks like new! Try colored chalk for painted surfaces. -A Retiree from The Villages, Fla. SECURE SLIDING DOORS Dear Heloise: When I first moved into my apartment, I made sure it was secure. My apartment has two sliding glass doors (one in the bedroom and one in the living area), and I’m on the first floor.

I checked the doors when I moved in. One wasn’t locked. My hint is to check all doors and windows to be sure they are locked.

For extra security and peace of mind, I always keep BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker the safety bar in the “locked” position. -- Julie D., Bloomington, Ind. Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com.

On being well liked Often Christians find they are not very well liked by people who are in sin, denominationalists and sectarians, and even their own brothers in Christ.

There may be some legitimate reasons why this happens from time to time. No matter how right a person may be, their demeanor and language may be so offensive that it “turns people off” – not from truth, but from the person teaching the truth.

Paul wrote a young preacher, “And the Lord’s servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.” (2 Tim. 2:24) Sometimes it is possible to gently teach those who are in error, but sometimes it is not.

Jude wrote, “Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear – hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.”

(Jude 1:27) There is no gentle way to snatch some people out of the fires of error, particularly if you “hate even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.”

At times Jesus was so meek and gentle that children came to his side (Mark 10:16). One can easily imagine the tender words our Lord spoke with an innocent child cradled in his loving arms. Yet at times Jesus showed us what it means to get the attention of those who pervert truth.

Seven times in Matthew chapter 23, Jesus used the term “woe,” and followed it with scathing rebukes.

He made a difference in the little children and the hypocritical Scribes and Pharisees.

liked. He was offensive at times. When he rebuked the Pharisees for the way they allowed their traditions to make void the law of God, the disciples came to him and said, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?” (Matt. 15:12) The dislike for Jesus by these religious leaders elevated to the intensity that they plotted to take his life (John 5:18). That is about as much dislike as anyone should have – but it didn’t keep Jesus from doing what was right.

Jesus warned his disciples “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.”

(Matt. 10:22) Later he added, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.

In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) In the sermon on the Mount he said, “Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.”

(Luke 6:26) One of the greatest of the apostles was Paul. He wasn’t very well liked either. Why? He told people the truth, sometimes in a manner that was direct and to the point. I am confident Elymas didn’t care much for Paul, after he heard the great man say, “O full of all subtlety and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord.” (Acts 13:10) But like it or not, Paul knew what needed to be said and knew how to say it. ~ from http://www.vscoc. org/Bulletinfdr/bulletin_ fodder.htm SOLID ROCK MINISTRIES, 1216 N.

East Union archers impress at Eldora tournament

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

AFTON — The archery teams from East Union schools participated in the Iowa Outdoor NASP 3D State Tournament in Eldora on August 5.

Volunteer coach Scott Mitchell estimated that around 50 kids at East Union are participating in archery in the schools, and that numbers continue to grow. Coach Dick Stream took a squad of 12 kids to the tournament.

“Archery kids are all pretty dedicated,” Mitchell said.

“They’re all at practice, working at it. They want to get better.”

“Through the years we’ve just had an outstanding group of middle schoolers,” Mitchell added. “They are just an outstanding group

that are coming up through the ranks.”

Listed below are some of the notable accomplishments from Eldora.

Camp, practice builds traits that will last a season

By RYAN KRONBERG

CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

A three-week stretch in August is time for the fall sports teams to come together.

Starting with team camp, then followed by two weeks of official practice, coaches and team members form a bond that will carry them through the rest of the fall sports season.

For Creston’s volleyball team, it’s a time to evaluate where everyone’s at.

“It’s very important,” said Creston coach Polly Luther. “You have to break up your teams. “You have to assign varsity, JV and freshman teams. You’re breaking down their skills, seeing what everyone’s capable of doing.”

After teams are broken down, it’s time for even more talent evaluation.

“Everyone’s skills set is different,” Luther said. “You have to hone in on what people are good at and fly with it a little bit once you get the teams broken down.”

Nearby, the Creston football team has been fine tuning what it wants to do this season.

The focus the first two weeks of fall practice, along with the week of camp, has been strictly internal.

“The biggest thing is understanding what we’re doing,” said Creston football coach Brian Morrison.

“We’re not considering who we’re playing. We’re locked into the fundamentals of our offense and defense and special teams.”

Camp and fall workout is a continuation of efforts that started in the spring.

“Awesome Hour” as United States captures six Olympic medals in track and field RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Tianna Bartoletta kicked off her country’s whirlwind run of medals on the night.

So, by all rights, she should get to name it.

Fittingly, the newly crowned Olympic long jump champion went with “Awesome Hour.”

In a span of about 60 minutes Wednesday night, U.S. athletes hauled in a bevy of medals: Bartoletta and Brittney Reese went 1-2 in the long jump, Tori Bowie captured a bronze in the 200 and Brianna Rollins, Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin swept the medals in the 100-meter hurdles — a feat that’s never been accomplished in that event.

A banner evening, for sure. The nation entered the night with 13 medals and left the track with a total of 19 — five gold, seven silver, seven bronze.

“It was an awesome hour,” Bartoletta said.

She started things off by

unseating Reese, the defending Olympic champion, in the long jump. Moments later, Bowie won her second medal in Rio by taking bronze in the 200 meters.

Not long after that, the hurdlers made history. This was the seventh medals sweep by the U.S. track team in the Olympics and the 23rd for U.S. women in the history of the Summer Games.

And yes, they realized what their fellow Americans were up to. Ali watched Bowie, her suitemate in Rio, bring home another medal as the hurdler waited to take the track.

That fired Ali up. And then her hurdles teammates did the same thing.

“They smiled at me and were like, ‘It’s time. Do your part,’” Ali said. “I need to go out there and do my part.

For Team USA, I knew it would be a great thing.”

How about this for an early birthday present: About

an hour after the race Rollins turned 25.

“I tried to feed off all the positive energy from Team USA,” Rollins said. “We were able to come out here and fulfill our dreams. It was an amazing opportunity.”

And to think, the evening got off on the wrong foot when Justin Gatlin surprisingly went out in the semifinals of the 200.

Earlier in the day, Evan Jager earned silver in the 3,000-meter steeplechase — America’s first medal in that event since 1984. A hint of things to come.

“Every single time I saw someone on the (medal) stand, I tried not to get emotional,” Castlin said. “I was like, ‘I could get on the stand.’ It always feels good to see your teammates doing well. We’re from all different states and universities. It feels good to come out and do a great job.”

U.S. men’s basketball into semis with route over Argentina RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The nail-biters ended for the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team.

So did a golden era of international basketball.

Emphatically stopping a stretch of three straight close games, the Americans advanced to the semifinals by sprinting past Manu Ginobili and Argentina, 10578 on Wednesday night.

In front of a chanting, flag-waving crowd of Argentines who came to throw a raucous farewell party for their Golden Generation, the Americans delivered their most complete performance in Rio. “What a remarkable run

by Argentina and so we knew we had to match that energy tonight. I thought we did,” U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

Turning a slow start into an early ending with a 27-2 run in the first half, the Americans put away one

old rival and set up a meeting with another. They will play Spain on Friday in a rematch of the last two gold-medal games. Australia meets Serbia in the other semifinal.

Kevin Durant scored 27 points for the Americans, who had played three straight close games for the first time under Krzyzewski, setting off a round of questions at home and in Rio de Janeiro about what was wrong with them.

The Americans eliminated Argentina for the third straight Olympics, this time ending not only a tournament run for the Argentines but also a couple careers.

Ginobili, 39, and longtime 36-year-old teammate Andres Nocioni retired from international competition after the game, 12 years after winning gold in Athens.

“We had a chance to grow up together,” said Luis Scola, who is also 36.

Northwest Missouri State and install things there,” Morrison said. “Every Tuesday, we have the kids come and workout for an hour and a half.”

Bit by bit, the playbooks are diversified.

“We add stuff on,” Morrison said. “Whether it be the base defense, base offense, we expand on it. That’s where we’re at right now.”

Morrison likes how his 70plus member squad is grasping the concepts.

“At the end of this week coming up, we’ll be in good shape as far as core values of offense, defense and special teams,” Morrison said.

“We’ll tweak it week-in and week-out.”

For a young Creston volleyball team, which lost a slew of regulars from last season to graduation, camp and fall practice has been important to see who will earn playing time.

“We really get to see what the kids are capable of doing,” Luther said.

Luther’s players have been pushing hard wanting to earn a varsity spot.

“They work hard. Everyone wants that jersey,” Luther said. “We’ve got kids that are really working hard.”

As the season’s first match is approaching, Luther and her staff are putting the pieces together of what the lineup will look like.

“Those same kids are in the gym doing the same things the first two weeks,” Luther said. “Now we get to put that all together, see what they can do with each other.”

But camp and fall practice are not all about drills.

MLB roundup: Royals, Cubs, Cardinals all win Hosmer’s big game sparks Royals

DETROIT (AP) — Eric Hosmer has been trying to find his way out of a long slump, and coming to Detroit may have done the trick.

A night after homering in a win over the Tigers, Hosmer spent most of Wednesday torturing the Comerica Park Hosmer crowd.

He walked in the fifth inning to break up Anibal Sanchez’s perfect game, doubled in the seventh to end Sanchez’s no-hit bid, then hit a tie-breaking two-run homer in the ninth to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 4-1 victory over Detroit and a three-game sweep.

“I don’t think we’ve swept a series here in my career -- we haven’t even won more than a couple,” he said. “I’ve been struggling for about a month now, but it has started to come around, and tonight felt really good.”

Sanchez threw seven shutout innings after allowing eight runs in four innings in his previous start.

He struck out six and walked two Wednesday.

“That’s as good as I’ve ever seen Anibal Sanchez throw the ball,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “I had seen what he had done in his last start, but I know that when he’s on, he has ridiculous command of his fastball and a phenomenal changeup. That’s what he had tonight.”

Sanchez agreed.

“Today, everything was coming out good,” he said. “I felt good all game, and I just wanted to keep

the score at 1-0. I wasn’t thinking about the no-hitter.”

The Tigers have lost eight of their last 10 games.

“I’m not whining -- we have to come out and win a game tomorrow,” Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. “They came up with big hits late tonight and we didn’t.

That was the difference.”

Justin Wilson replaced Sanchez for the eighth with a 1-0 lead and allowed a tying homer to Alex Gordon on his first pitch.

In the ninth, Shane Greene (2-3) allowed a one-out single to Lorenzo Cain before Hosmer’s line drive into the right-field stands. Drew Butera added an RBI single later in the inning.

“I made a bad pitch to a good hitter,” Greene said. “It was a cutter and I tried to get too perfect with it. It happens.”

Matt Strahm (1-0) got his first career win with 1 2/3 scoreless innings of relief, and Kelvin Herrera pitched the ninth for his sixth save.

Soler’s homer sparks Cubs past Brewers

CHICAGO (AP) —Jorge Soler has made the Chicago Cubs’ lineup deeper by going deep.

Soler, who hit a three-run home run to lead Chicago to a 6-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night, has hit seven home runs in seven starts since coming off the disabled list in early August. He’s hitting .379 in 10 games over that stretch.

“When Jorge is in there it makes a deep, long lineup,” said Cubs catcher David Ross, who hit a solo home run as the Cubs won their third straight and 17th in 20 games.

“When he was out ... the lineup

was shortened, you know, once you get past a certain guy, it’s a little easier to navigate the lineup,” Ross said.

Hitting in the sixth spot, Soler sent Milwaukee starter Jimmy Nelson’s 2-2 pitch far over the wall in left-center field, depositing it just under the videoboard atop the stands.

The homer capped a five-run first inning after RBI singles by Ben Zobrist and Addison Russell.

That made for an easy night for Cubs starter Jon Lester (134), who got his fourth straight win, giving up one run and three hits in 6 2/3 innings while striking out sev- Lester en. He hasn’t lost since July 3.

“You get five runs after the bottom of the first, it kind of relaxes you, you don’t have to grind as much,” Lester said.

Lester and the rest of the Cubs starting pitchers have been magnificent, going 11-0 in August, with Chicago’s only two losses being hung on relievers. But Lester credited the offense for the starters’ success.

“It makes our lives as pitchers a lot easier when they’re consistent, and doing what they’ve been doing pretty much the whole year for us,” Lester said. “We just kind of go about our business after what they do.”

Nelson (6-13) walked leadoff batter Dexter Fowler then hit Kris Bryant with a pitch to begin the first. Then came Soler’s home run.

Cubs manager Joe Maddon said

Soler has worked on staying patient streak and began its offensive frenzy Wednesday in the third inning since coming back from the DL. “He’s really staying in the zone,” against starter Doug Fister.

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, August 18, 2016

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

How about the rooster tails?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Which non-winner, outside the top 16, can win and upset the Chase picture?

GODSPEAK: Anybody would be crazy to pick Dale Earnhardt Jr., so I will go with Kyle Larson.

KEN’S CALL: Call me crazy, but I see Junior coming back in a couple of weeks and getting it done.

On many weekends, even on a standalone weekend without Cup racing, the Xfinity Series can escape notice. But this past Saturday’s event at Mid-Ohio got some extra attention, and for an unusual reason: rain. When NASCAR’s Cup or Xfinity cars line up for a road-course race, the pit stalls include sets of rain tires, just in case. But almost always, the tires are unnecessary. Not this time.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM THE OFF WEEK

Like it?

It was definitely different and therefore kinda fun to watch Justin Marks navigate the rain-soaked course and get his first win. And I suppose it’s good that fans who travel to watch a race don’t get rained out. But who enjoys sitting in the rain and watching a sporting event of any kind? Oh, wait, the TV audience far outnumbers the ticket buyers, and for TV purposes a rainy race is much better than no race.

When does Kurt Busch’s lead-lap streak end?

GODSPEAK: Pick the least likely place for the streak to end and that would be Michigan on Aug. 28.

KEN’S CALL: I’ll take a chance and say he skates through Bristol, but let’s say he doesn’t survive Darlington in a couple of weeks.

Worried about Jimmie Johnson?

GODSPEAK: Considering Hendrick Motorsports’ overall performance, I don’t think J.J. is playing possum.

KEN’S CALL: One top-10 since end of May? That’s more than a speed bump. Yep, worried. Or at least wondering.

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar

Never on an oval?

1. Burnout scrutiny

2. Gordon wins!

3. Only one

When Denny Hamlin won at Watkins Glen, his burnout in the No. 11 Toyota was so intense, it popped both rear tires and caused sheet-metal damage to the car. Did Hamlin do it to hide something from NASCAR? One NASCAR official said, “It’s a trend we don’t like to see.”

Jeff Gordon, who is subbing for ailing Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the No. 88 Chevy, won a race last week. OK, so it was a gokart race for charity in Iowa, but he beat Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne and Kyle Larson for the trophy. The old man still has the winning touch.

NASCAR rookie Ryan Blaney was the only Sprint Cup Series regular to compete in the Xfinity Series race at Mid-Ohio this past weekend. He finished third in a Team Penske Ford.

The tell? Other Cup drivers just wanted the time off before 14 consecutive weeks of racing.

Nearly all of the smart people say no, heavy stock cars on a wet oval, even with rain tires, wouldn’t be worth the price of a dime-store umbrella, much less the price of a ticket. Though maybe once, just once, it’d be fun to watch a few laps just to confirm that philosophy.

3 THINGS TO WATCH

Kurt Busch has finished every lap in NASCAR Cup Series competition this season, but it is a record few people really care about. GETTY

1. Eyes on Busch Kurt Busch set a Sprint Cup record for completing all laps in the first 21 races of the season and extended it to 22 by rolling through all 90 laps at Watkins Glen. The all-time record is held by Carl Edwards, who completed all laps in 28 straight races over the 2015-16 seasons. Busch is up to 25 in that category. For the record, 5,901 laps have been run to date this Cup season.

2. Chase this There are four regularseason races left on the schedule before the Chase and virtually four open playoff

MARTIN TRUEX JR. VS. BRAD KESELOWSKI: Here’s one confrontation underreported at Watkins Glen: Keselowski spun Truex on the last lap. Truex repeatedly bumped “Kez” on the cool-down lap.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Truex has such a cool demeanor, it is hard to say whether he will retaliate in the coming weeks. “I guess he kind of races with that mentality,” Truex said with a shrug.

berths. Chris Buescher has a win and is only three points out of the top 30 in points, so he most likely will get into the battle. If those four openings go to drivers with points, it would be Ryan Newman, Chase Elliott, Austin Dillon and Jamie McMurray. They are tightly clustered in points.

Everybody else must win a race.

3. 22 and counting

teams have unveiled throwback paint schemes for the Sept. 4 Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, and several more teams are expected to participate in the celebration of NASCAR history. The most intriguing design to date is the No. 13 Chevy of Casey Mears, who will run a stock car carrying the black and gold colors made famous by master mechanic Smokey Yunick.

shotguns to attempt to break clay targets that are mechanically launched into the air from two fixed stations at high speed from various angles.

“In trap, there’s five stations, and you just keep moving – you shoot five targets at each station until you shoot 25,” Lesan said. “With skeet, at two of the eight locations, the target’s coming right at you. They also throw p a i r s , Lesan w h i c h cross. They do all kinds of different things, and everyone says it’s the most like hunting because you really have to get your leads and your follow-throughs. I think that’s why it’s so popular; it gets people ready for hunting season.”

In skeet, a participant shoots from seven positions on a semicircle and an eighth position halfway between stations one and seven.

There are two houses that hold devices known as traps, which launch targets – one at each corner of the semicircle.

One trap launches targets from 10 feet above the ground, the high house, and the other launches from 3 feet, the low house.

“In trap, you’re moving away from the target,” Lesan said. “In skeet, you’re moving more in that arch

and then car ownership goes away,” Kalanick said at the Code Conference in 2014, shortly after Google unveiled its self-driving car prototype.

The announcement was one of three made by Uber that accelerate the company’s quest to provide autonomous taxis to the public worldwide. It’s also the latest tie-up between Silicon Valley, ride-hailing firms and major automakers.

The San Francisco company announced a $300 million deal for Volvo to provide SUVs to Uber for autonomous vehicle research. Eventually the Volvo SUVs will be part of the self-driving fleet in Pittsburgh. Volvo will develop base vehicles for research and both companies will develop autonomous vehicles on their own.

Uber also announced that it is acquiring a self-driving startup called Otto that has developed technology allowing big rigs to drive themselves.

With the acquisition of Otto, Uber gets a fast infusion of self-driving expertise, including Otto co-founder Anthony Levandowski, one of the founding fathers of autonomous technology.

Self-driving cars are not yet ready for the masses. Hurdles include software that is not yet good enough for public rollout, safety concerns raised by state and federal regulators,

around and you’re shooting different angles. The targets are thrown the same way every time in skeet; in trap, you never know which way they’re coming. So, there’s a big difference between that and knowing where it is and then getting your lead right like in skeet.”

Community shooters

The shooting range will now give the Southwestern Community College sports shooting team a local place to practice both trap and skeet.

“Normally, if we were going to do (skeet) before, we’d either have to travel up to Indianola or Waukee or down to Mount Ayr’s private skeet set-up,” said Marc Roberg, S W C C h e a d s p o r t s shooting coach and Roberg vice president of High Lakes Outdoor Alliance.

Roberg said Iowa’s junior college conference for shooting was thinking about starting skeet beginning as a virtual league, in which participants would shoot on their home field, their scores would get entered and then, in the future, they would travel and shoot skeet against another school faceto-face.

“Now, this will give us the opportunity to practice where we wouldn’t have had the chance to before,” Roberg said. “Also, it’ll help

Roberg said the skeet field will also be beneficial to other local shooters – both those who are competitive and those who just shoot for fun.

“Right now, with the trap range out there, we have leagues on Wednesday night and we get a tremendous amount of use out there at that range. This is just going to double it,” Roberg said.

“Skeet is a really fun, really popular sport, and I think it’s going to draw a lot of people from the Creston area and the central Iowa area. We get people as far as Des Moines coming down and sometimes even from Missouri. It’ll be a bigger draw because it’s a lot of fun, and there aren’t a lot of skeet fields around.”

Lesan added: “There are gun clubs like the one in Waukee, but there’s just so many people out there, and some are willing to drive a little bit farther to Creston to get away from the crowd. Plus, most of those clubs, you can’t shoot out to 600 yards and you can here. I think skeet will be one more thing we can use to recruit more members.”

More and more, the shooting range is drawing people “from all walks of life,” Lesan said.

“We get bankers to UPS drivers and everyone in between,” he said. “Anyone can shoot. Just come out and try it, and we’d love to teach you.”

and uncertainty over society’s readiness to trust robot drivers.

But the race is on. Large tech and auto companies suggest they could start selling self-driving cars within three to five years.

If history is any guide, that push will begin with high-end models that few people can afford. Uber’s vast on-demand auto fleet could presumably bring the technology to ordinary people more quickly.

Uber, however, isn’t alone in the race for autonomous vehicles. It’s not even a leader.

The company’s primary U.S. competitor, Lyft, received a $500 million investment from GM earlier this year. Those two companies said they plan to put self-driving vehicles into Lyft’s fleet on a small scale sometime in the next year. GM also bought itself some self-driving expertise in March with the acquisition of a company called Cruise Automation.

This week, Ford Motor Co. announced — in Silicon Valley, not Detroit — that it intends to have a self-driving vehicle on the road by 2021.

The car will have neither a steering wheel nor pedals and will be rolled out for commercial ride-hailing services, not directly to consumers.

Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc. is even further ahead in pursuing driverless cars that offer passengers little control beyond an emergency stop button. Google began

testing its fleet of prototype self-driving cars on public roads in 2009.

Though the Google car project just lost its director, Chris Urmson, it has a big head start. Its leaders have suggested they could launch public pilot tests of cars with no steering wheels or pedals in the next year or two.

Putting robotic vehicles on the road has been an obsession for Levandowski. One earlier effort, a self-driving motorcycle named Ghostrider, is now in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

Until the start of this year, Levandowski was at Google, but he left to found Otto with two other former Google employees.

After outgrowing the leafy Palo Alto neighborhood where they worked on their first rigs, Levandowski moved his headquarters to San Francisco and came out of stealth mode by posting a video of a truck driving itself down a Nevada highway. An actor sitting at a table in the cab jots notes on a pad of paper.

Levandowski’s business proposition was straightforward. Big rigs spend most of their time on highways, making them a relatively easy problem to solve. Unlike bustling city streets, highways have well marked lanes, little or no cross traffic, and other features that make them far easier for a self-driving vehicle to navigate.
