MOUNT AYR – Iowa State Cyclone and Iowa Hawkeye fans in Mount Ayr be prepared because WHO-TV Channel 13’s RVTV crew will roll into town Tuesday.

RVTV is a weeklong tour of tailgating stops in various towns around the state leading up to annual CyHawk football game featuring Iowa State and Iowa.

This year’s game is played 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10, in Iowa City and will be televised on Big Ten Network.

The RVTV tour kicks off

Monday in Winterset, with a Tuesday stop in Mount Ayr. The tour rolls on to Chariton on Wednesday and Albia on Thursday.

Bondurant is Friday’s stop before the RV travels to Iowa City Saturday.

Tuesday’s stop will be the first in Mount Ayr for RVTV, which began in 2001 and, after a several-year hiatus, returned in full force in 2007.

“It’s a community that’s known for having some really good high school sports teams,” WHO-TV anchor A n d y F a l e s s a i d .

“One of the cool things a b o u t d o i n g RVTV is Fales it gives us the opportunity and excuse to go out and get to some of these outlying communities we don’t get to very often because they’re a long way from Des Moines. Mount Ayr is the perfect type of

community for this.”

Molly Murphy, chairperson of Mount Ayr’s RVTV committee, said the community is ready for its chance to host the event.

“Our town is very prideful and we have such great team spirit, good times or bad,” she said. “The only thing that really divides us is our love of the Hawkeyes or the Cyclones. So, we’re excited to have RVTV come down to southwest Iowa.”

RVTV, in recent years, has stopped in Creston and Greenfield.

Fales has been a regular on the RVTV tour, but will not be making the trip this year with his duties as anchor on the morning newscasts.

WHO-TV Sports Director Keith Murphy and sports anchors John Sears and Michael Admire, along with WHOTV Chief Meteorologist Ed Wilson will be among those in Mount Ayr. Joining them will be the Iowa Nice Guy Scott Siepker and Hawkeye Nation RV.

“This stop is not about us, not about Channel 13, not about our sports team,” Fales said. “It’s about the rivalry. We are celebrating the Iowa-Iowa State rivalry and we’re lucky to have this type of sports rivalry that so many people are passionate about.

We want people to come out and celebrate it, not us. We just give the towns an excuse to do it.”

More than 35 businesses are involved in hosting different games and activities on the Mount Ayr square Tuesday.

AFTON – Three Mile Lake is currently being drawn down in order to assess water-quality issues and improve fishing quality.

With the Labor Day holiday weekend here, Union County Conservation Officer Corey Carlton reminds boaters who will be on the lake to be cautious.

“We’re probably about 4 feet, 4 1/2 feet down, as of right now,” Carlton said.

“Fishing structures and trees could potentially pop up.

We really want to push guys Carlton

to pay attention. A big concern of ours is Labor Day weekend. We’re going to have a lot of activity on the lake. If you’re going to be out there, we’re not closing it down by any means, but pay attention because conditions are changing.”

According to Natural Resources Biologist Andy Jansen, the lake will be down 17 feet from normal pool later this month.

“The overall goal is to improve the water quality and sport-fish quality,” Jansen said. “Water quality has been declining. The sport-fish community has changed, so we’re seeing less participation by anglers.

We’re trying to get it back to where it was when it was really booming in the early 2000s.”

Fish renovation The second step of the Three Mile Lake project is to renovate the fish population in the lake.

medications they need,” adding that she is “ready to hold drug companies accountable when they try to put profits ahead of patients, instead of back into research and innovation.”

Clinton plans to create a drug-pricing overs i g h t group that will monitor price increases. If this group of Clinton federal officials decides that an increase is excessive, it could take a number of enforcement actions, including making emergency purchases of an alternate version of the drug, allowing emergency imports of a similar product from other developed countries, and imposing penalties on the companies, such as fines.

The announcement comes amid criticism for pharmaceutical company Mylan N.V. over the list price of the EpiPen, which has grown to $608 for a two-pack, an increase

of more than 500 percent since 2007. Facing questions about the pricing decisions, the drugmaker has said it will launch a generic version, but that will still cost $300.

EpiPens are used in emergencies to treat severe allergies to insect bites and foods like nuts and eggs that can lead to anaphylactic shock. Clinton has called on Mylan to reduce the cost of the drug.

Some of the activities include an agility contest for children of all ages and the “infamous” pink Cadillac hot tub. Des Moines’ Damon Dotson Band will play a concert on the square from 8 to 10 p.m.

Festivities kick off at 2 p.m. with a pep rally on the square. The Mount Ayr fall sports teams and marching band will be there along with all the elementary and high school students.

In order to combat that issue, Jansen said a chemical will be applied to the lake to eradicate all fish species. The lake is being drawn down to decrease the amount of chemical needed to accomplish that goal.

Then, sometime in October, the lake will start being restocked.

ESPN’s road show “College GameDay” often highlights clever or creative signs in the crowd. A sign contest will be held to determine the most creative Cyclone or Hawkeye signs. Signs will be judged by the RVTV crew.

There will also be a contest to determine the best Iowa tailgate, best Iowa State tailgate and best divided tailgate.

“We have a number of community members who enjoyed coming up to Creston (for RVTV) and we invite everyone in the area to come down,” Murphy said.

“We invite people to come up and tailgate, whether

Blue catfish fingerlings, a new species for Three Mile Lake, will also be added in this fall.

Next spring, largemouth bass and walleye fry will be added into the lake. “(We will) kind of start the process of getting game fish currently in the lake restocked in the lake,” Jansen said. “I will say it will probably take two years before we have good bluegill and bass fishing back at Three Mile.”

Jansen encourages anglers and boaters to take advantage of other lakes in the area while the lake is being lowered and the fish renova-

“There are other opportunities close by for angling,” he said. “Green Valley and Lake Icaria you can recreational boat and Twelve Mile Lake has a really good Jansen fish population right now. Alternatives are out there while we’re doing the Three Mile project.”

In addition to giving the towns an excuse to tailgate, Fales said RVTV provides an opportunity to make connections.

“You meet a whole bunch of people you would not meet otherwise,” Fales said.

“That’s just invaluable in (the news) business. We find we make these connections, learn of these stories and they inevitably come back to benefit us in the years that come after.”

Jansen said he and partners from the Natural Resource Conservation Service will look at land use in the area and how it has changed. “(We will) look for areas that could have high probability of erosion and identify some conservation practices like cover crops and terraces that can be implemented on those areas and reduce soil loss into the water shed.”

Judge fines Highway Patrol over records in drowning case ST. LOUIS (AP) — A Missouri judge has fined the state Highway Patrol $5,000 after finding that it violated open records law in responding to requests from the family of an Iowa man who drowned while in custody.

Cole County Circuit Judge Jon Beetem issued the order Wednesday. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Beetem ruled that the state’s delays in turning over documents to Brandon Elling-

son’s family amounted to a “purposeful violation” of law. The fine is the maximum allowed.

Beetem also ordered the state to pay the costs of the attorneys who requested the records, which included the arresting trooper’s work schedule and training, as well as Highway Patrol policies on life jackets and handcuffs.

The 20-year-old Ellingson was arrested in 2014 on the Lake of the Ozarks

on suspicion of boating while intoxicated. While being transported, he tumbled into the water wearing an improperly secured life vest and drowned.

The attorney general’s office says it is reviewing Beetem’s ruling.

The arresting trooper, Anthony Piercy, faces a charge of involuntary manslaughter. Witnesses say Piercy didn’t property secure a life jacket on Ellingson before Ellingson went into the water. El-

lingson’s body was recovered the next day.

Piercy has pleaded not guilty. His trial was set to begin in September, but has been delayed due to a change of the judge in the case.

Piercy, who had previously patrolled roads, told jurors during a coroner’s inquest in September that he hadn’t received the proper training to handle what happened the day Ellingson drowned.

Jamie Michael Foote, 43, 502 N. Cherry St., was charged with disorderly conduct 6:22 p.m. Wednesday in the 500 block of North Cherry Street.

According to a Creston Police report, Foote was involved in a domestic dispute while at his mother’s house, also his residence. During the incident, Foote began acting in a fighting-like manner and began making threats to the residents of the house as well as law enforcement officers. Foote was taken outside to make arrangements to leave and began yelling, “Take me to jail, just take me to jail.”

Foote’s yelling was loud enough for officers to hear inside the house and to cause people standing nearby to look over to what was causing the scene.

Foote was being held on $300 bond.

ENTERTAINMENT

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, September 2, 2016

Tablet transition Dear Heloise: I’m an avid reader, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve found myself struggling to read the print in books on my shelf. Yes, I’ve had my eyes checked, so that’s not the problem! I tried “large-print” books, but the selection of those is limited.

My son bought me an ELECTRONIC TABLET, and this has become a lifesaver.

With my tablet, I can store multiple books -- some are free, others I purchase online. I can check out books from my local library on my tablet.

Now that I’m reading books on my tablet, I can enlarge the font, set the contrast of the print on the page and decide if I want to turn pages like a regular book or scroll as I read (I prefer scrolling).

I can bookmark the page I’m reading and pick right up where I left off if I have to break away from reading. It’s also been a space-saver, as now I don’t have a plethora of books on my shelf collecting dust. -- Janie P., via email COOLING IRONS Dear Heloise: When I’m traveling and need to cool my curling iron quickly, I place it, unplugged, over the air conditioner. Five minutes tops,

Hints from Heloise and it’s ready to pack. -- Betty, via email SODIUM IN PREPACKAGED MEALS Dear Heloise: I’m on a saltfree diet, and I live alone. I like to use TV dinners, but they have too much salt in them. Can’t companies that put out TV dinners make them without salt? Surely there is some company that can put them out without salt. I’m sure there are many people who are on a salt-free diet who would gladly buy the ones without salt. What’s your take on this? -- Martha S. in Illinois There are prepackaged foods that have less sodium than others, so read the labels to find them. It’s difficult or impossible to find completely salt-free packaged foods.

Consider taking one day out of your week to make your own “prepackaged” meals and then freeze them until you’re ready to eat them. Also consider alterna-

tives like fresh fruits, frozen/ fresh vegetables, gelatin/pudding cups, etc., to go along with your main entree.

If salt’s your enemy and packaged foods are your preference, then this could be a way to have the best of both worlds. -- Heloise NUMBERS ARE IN MY POCKET Dear Heloise: My brother was in a car accident that sent him to the hospital. When he was stabilized, he knew that he needed to call someone to let people know where he was. The problem was that his phone was still in his wrecked truck.

Because of the convenience of cellphones, he couldn’t recall a single number off the top of his head, even though BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker he was offered a cellphone by a very gracious nurse. Much to his current girlfriend’s dismay, the only number he could recall was his ex-wife!

Now he carries important phone numbers/information on an index card inside his wallet. He said it was one of the worst experiences he encountered, and he would never wish that feeling on anyone. -- Renee B., via email (c)2016 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

Hopeville Music Festival to host cribbage tourney Sept. 11 On Sunday, September 11, the tiny town of Hopeville will hold its 38th-annual Hopeville Rural Music Reunion. Along with a day of music, the festival will host a local cribbage tournament for old-time card players.

Hopeville is an “almost� ghost town in southwest Clarke County. The Rural Music Reunion has been held free annually since 1979. It is a reunion of area country and bluegrass musicians to play together just for fun. It is not a contest, and there is no admission to play or attend.

Old-style songs on acoustic instruments is the norm, although a full sound system is provided. Hopeville is one of the longest running free music festivals in Iowa. Musicians play free and come and go throughout the day.

No group is ever booked in advance. Music winds down roughly at 5 p.m.

The Jim Overholtzer Memorial Cribbage Tournament will be held ongoing with the old-time music festival. Card players must think with live music in the background. The Rural Music Reunion starts before noon and the cribbage tournament soon afterwards in the northeast corner of the Hopeville Square County Park.

This will be the sixth-annual cribbage tournament.

Its namesake is the late longtime postmaster of nearby Grand River and master at cribbage. Hopeville has not had a post office since the 1930s. The postmaster’s family purchased a trophy each year to award to the tournament winner.

The tournament is open

to anyone at no charge.

Each contestant plays five games of cribbage against other contestants of their choice. The person with the highest overall score wins.

Games are played on picnic tables under shade trees.

Janice Vandervelde of Des Moines was the 2015 cribbage winner.

Finding Hopeville can be a problem for newcomers. It is the oldest town in Clarke County and is located almost at the confluence of Ringgold, Union, Clarke and Decatur counties. No paved road goes to Hopeville. The closest paved road is R15, the county paved road going south of Murray. Festival organizers will have signs up from that highway to direct newcomers to Hopeville.

The current population in town fluctuates around 20 people. However, the event draws hundreds of visitors annually for a reunion with friends and music in the shaded park.

Of special importance to Hopeville this year is the loss of the only remaining commercial building, the Hopeville United Methodist Church. Local Hopeville Auxiliary, formerly the Methodist Ladies Aid, will have a lunch stand at the music festival raising money to purchase the building from the Methodist Conference and keep it operational as a nondenominational church. Contact Cheryl German for more details about this local issue.

For more festival information, contact German in Hopeville at 641-447-2699.

For cribbage information, contact John Klein at 712309-5992.

Des Moines – $2.48 per gallon, up 6.1 cents.

Omaha – $2.20 per gallon, down 0.4 cents. “As the summer driving season wraps up, gasoline prices have risen for 14 consecutive days, thanks in large part due to a late-summer rally in oil markets, driven by OPEC threats,� said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy. “While the final note may be a bit sour, the sweetness of what is still the cheapest summer gas in a decade will linger. Motorists shopping around for gas using the free GasBuddy app over the upcoming Labor Day weekend stand to save 5 to 25 cents per gallon over their counterparts, saving their hard-earned money on a day recognizing their hard work.� “While some tropical disturbances may lead gas prices to continue rising slightly ahead of Labor Day weekend, relief will be felt across every single state over the next few weeks as gasoline demand drops and cheaper winter gas begins flowing in mid-September,�

DeHaan said.

MURRAY — The Murray volleyball came out of the gates looking strong against Orient-Macksburg, but maybe not quite in mid-season form.

The Mustangs won the first four points of the match and 15 of the first 16 to jump all over the visiting Bulldogs. Murray won three straight sets by scores of 25-8, 25-7 and 2510.

An energetic student section stayed up for the home squad, sending chants of “O-U-T OUT,” dancing the hokey-pokey and sent other simple, silly chants through the gym.

The victorious Mustangs looked plenty impressive statistically in a number of categories.

Amazingly, Murray went 70-of70 on serves with Katie Otto going 21-of-21. She jump-started several Mustang runs with a forceful serve.

She had nine aces alone.

Murray coach Jerry Shields had immediate improvements in mind afterward.

“Still not real happy with the way we attack,” Shields said. “We don’t attack real hard. We’re attacking, but not as hard as I’d like to see us attack, not as offensively as I’d like to see us attack.”

Murray had 13 kills and three blocks as a squad.

That being said, the Mustangs found racking up the points to be a successful endeavor throughout.

Murray put up a run of 16 consecutive points in the second set, as well as runs of 11 and eight.

Brandi Gilbert helped facilitate the Murray offense with nine assists and went 12-of-12 on serves.

Shields was pleased to be able to get his younger and less experienced girls significant playing time.

Panther netters fall flat at home

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Creston volleyball coach Polly Luther was pleased with her team’s intensity and effort in Tuesday’s five-set loss to A-D-M. That energy and effort was missing from the court during Thursday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference opener against Clarinda.

The Cardinals took advantage of a flat Panthers squad to pull out a four-set win, 25-16, 25-17, 22-25 and 25-19 at Panther Gym. Creston struggled to find any pep from the first point of the first set.

“If you could’ve seen us on Tuesday, it was night and day difference,” said Creston coach Polly Luther. “The way we finished on Tuesday, games three, four and five compared to the way we competed tonight, even in game three, was night and day.”

Creston did not have the fire, even when it took early leads in games two, three and four.

“We didn’t have that spark from the start, even when we were up,” Luther said. “The spark wasn’t there.”

The Panthers can take away much from learning how to compete in a match.

“Hopefully there’s a lot of learning,” Luther said.

The postgame huddle focused on what the team needed to improve upon going forward.

“We talked about a lot of things, especially the mental side of the game,” Luther said.

Luther has an area she can work with the team on in practice over the next nine days.

“We need some work with the girls,” she said.

DES MOINES — Camaraderie is key in umpiring, like it is in any other aspect of life. The more two or more people get along, the more they learn to trust and respect each other.

Having a strong bond enables Greenfield’s Steve Shantz and Creston’s Scott Busch to be at their best when they’re on the diamond together.

“It’s huge,” Shantz said. “You know where the other guy’s going to be.”

When they’re a two-man crew, each man takes a specific position on each play, whether they’re working the plate or out in the field.

Knowing where the other is going to be helps each other trust what the other will do.

“You don’t have to worry about it,” Shantz said.

Shantz knows Busch will be in the right spot to make the right call on a given play.

“Instead of having to watch the other guy where he’s going to be, once you’re comfortable with your partner, you know where he’s UMPIRES | 9A

Eagles sweep Wayne in home opener

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

AFTON — East Union Eagles volleyball coach Gail Thatcher said that the Wayne Falcons looked as strong as she can remember Thursday night.

It didn’t stop her team from winning three straight sets at home by scores of 25-22, 25-23 and 25-18.

Some lineup changes benefited the Eagles.

“I’m very happy and we made some lineup changes and adjustments so that we could spread our hitters out,” Thatcher said. That’s going to help us a lot in the future. Our height is nice this year.”

East Union moved to 4-2, 2-0 in Pride of Iowa play and begins play in its division at Lenox on Tuesday.

“Wayne’s improved a lot,” Thatcher said. “Their coaches have really worked to improve their program. That’s the best team I’ve seen come out of Wayne.”

Anytime the Falcons hit a run of sorts, the Eagles responded in what was a raucous environment. The student section, complete with a group of students wearing half-volleyballs on top of their heads, helped heighten the tense atmosphere in a gym already conducive to loud noise.

The team responded in high-pressure situations as well.

The second set was a particularly intense battle. Trailing 18-17, the Eagles rattled off three straight points, and then surrendered four more to fall behind 22-20. Back and forth they went, with the Eagles going on another

Luther has seen the talent the team has and knows it can play well.

Now it’s a matter of showing it on the court.

“They have the skill. They have the ability,” Luther said. “They have to have that mental side of the game where they’re confident with what we’re doing.”

Creston fell behind in the middle part of all four games. In game one, Clarinda jumped out to a 14-7 lead. In game two, the Cardinals rattled off eight straight points for a 17-10 lead.

In game three, the Cardinals scored three straight points for a 14-11 lead. Creston did battle back to grab a 21-18 lead. Clarinda game within 22-21, but the Panthers scored three of the next four points to take the set.

Creston led 9-8 in the fourth set, but Clarinda scored nine of the next 11 points to take a 17-11 lead.

Creston clawed back to within 19-17 before Clarinda pulled away.

The Panthers were without the services of junior hitter Cayla Maitlen, who was away at a siblings’ wedding.

“The girls knew that.

We practiced without her (Wednesday) night,” Luther said. “Having her Tuesday and not having her Thursday is a little tough.”

Luther pointed out that Maitlen’s absence should not have made that much of a difference.

“It’s going to be the same way if someone gets hurt,” Luther said. “Those girls

three-point run, surrendering a point to tie things at 23. East Union notched the last two points of the set to head into the third with a commanding 2-0 lead.

“I really feel like the back row really did a nice job,” Thatcher said “Our hitters weren’t on 100 percent, but our back row kept digging it up and giving them chances to hit it.”

In the third set, the Eagles took control with strong net play and with several kills from Pryor, Weinkoetz and Weis. Down 13-12, the Eagles came together and ran up a six-point stretch to take a 17-13 lead. It proved enough to win 25-18 in the final set.

The Eagles stayed in attack mode for much of the night, going 93-of118 and tallied 35 kills as a team.

Weinkoetz, Pryor and Weis combined for 28 kills. Cassidy Riley added six more.

According to Thatcher, added depth stands to greatly help East Union grow this season, though it will face some roadblocks.

“I’m excited about next week taking on Lenox for our side (of the POI),” Thatcher said. “I think because we’re young, things aren’t going to be smooth, we’re always going to have to be in games working hard to win them because of our youth.”

“It’s just nice especially early in the season to get everybody in all three sets just to get a little more game time all the time,” Shields said.

It was the Bulldogs who mightily struggled at receiving serves at the beginning of the night, but as the night moved along and the ball bounced the Bulldogs’ way a few times, they began to play with confidence.

“They’re young. We’re high and then we’re low really really quickly,” O-M coach Katie Geidel said.

“They need to have some more confidence I think, which will come with more experience.”

With just two letterwinners back in Brooklyn Sammons and Kyla Bailey, this 2016 season will present a learning curve for Orient-Macksburg.

“Definitely then we want to work on those times where they get down and fall apart,” Bulldogs assistant coach Teresa Thompson said. “That’s our inexperience. We’ve got a lot of young girls, a lot of girls who don’t have any confidence yet.”

It was a good thing for the Bulldogs that freshman Kaela Eslinger performed strongly in just her second varsity contest.

The Bulldogs recorded a large number of their points on serves from Eslinger.

Murray moved to 1-0 with the win, and Orient-Macksburg fell to 0-2.

The Mustangs will head to Humeston next on Tuesday for a showdown with Mormon Trail.

The Bulldogs will host Ankeny Christian Academy Tuesday.

have to know they’re capable of playing wherever we stick them.”

Luther wants more from the other players, even if one is out because of various reasons.

“The rest of them have to step up, they just have too,” Luther said. “You have six players on the court. You can’t bring in another one.”

Practice will be focused and intense between now and the team’s next matches a week from Saturday at the Shenandoah Tournament.

“We’re going to put that to good use (Friday) and Monday and Tuesday,” Luther said.

Breanna Wallace and MaKenna Hudson led the Panthers with eight kills. Jaxie Luther had 28 assists and was 9-for-9 serving. Taylor Frederickson was 16-of-16 serving with two aces. Taylor Buxton was 15-of-15 serving with four aces. Frederickson, Luther and Hudson each had three digs.

Creston, 0-2 overall, 0-1 in Hawkeye 10 Conference play, is back on the court a week from Saturday, Sept.

The two have excelled in their time together, earning more and more prestigious assignments.

Shantz worked his 11th state tournament this year.

Busch worked his seventh state tournament.

While the crowd buzzes around them, players and coaches chatter in the dugout and on the field, each man stands at their respective base.

In between innings, they may acknowledge the well wishes of a friend who calls them out from the stands.

But when the ball is in play, they have a laser-eyed focus on the task at hand.

They all want to make sure that the right call is made no matter what the situation is.

They know they’ve made many right calls before this season and in past years.

That experience pays off in the state final.

“You have confidence and trust in yourself and then trust who you’re working with,” Busch said. “The less people recognize and notice you, the better off it is.”

State tournament games at Principal Park are different than regular season games in multiple ways. For starters, the pressure is amped up being that it is the state tournament. Also, the umpiring crews go from two to four men.

Both men umpired the Class 2A semifinals on Thursday.

Adjusting to the extra pair of men takes some time to get used too.

Patrons in the stands might not notice it, but Shantz noticed something was a little off in the first semifinal game.

“It took us a couple of rotations to get used to it,” Shantz said. “We blew a couple where nothing happened and nobody even knew we were in the right place or didn’t rotate right.”

On Saturday, both Shantz and Busch were settled into the four-man rotation.

“This game, we didn’t blow a rotation,” Shantz said. “Everybody knew where they were going.”

Third-base umpire John Bartolo is a seasoned veteran. He’s called many games at the state tournament, while the final was a new experience for second base umpire Joel Harthoorn.

All four meshed together well.

“I’ve worked with John,” Shantz said “This was my first time with Joel.”

They may not have ever worked together before, but the players and coaches on the field, patrons in the stands could not tell the difference.

“It was pretty smooth going,” Shantz said. *** A Clear Lake player hits a routine ground ball to the Kuemper Catholic shortstop.

Home plate umpire Steve Shantz and second base umpire Joel Harthoorn discuss a close play at second base during the Class 2A state championship baseball game between Clear Lake and Kuemper Catholic on July 30 at Principal Park in Des Moines. A hard slide on the play caused the two to meet near the pitchers mound to discuss what the call should be.

fields the ball, he fires the ball to first base.

Busch scoots into position.

He sees the throw is in time.

He records his right hand in the arm, with his hand in a fist and signals out.

Each man moves back to their positions. They signal each other what’s next. *** Hand signals before a play are essential to umpires.

It tells each other where the other is going to be on a particular play.

Roles, assignments change depending on the circumstance, such as if there are multiple runners on base or how many outs there are.

“That’s our rotations and coverages, responsibilities, assignments and coverages,” Busch said.

Assignments change on each play, depending upon each situation.

“We have to rotate,” Shantz said. “It all depends on if one of the umpires has to go out, then you have to rotate.”

In a two man crew, the roles are understood. It’s different in this game with a four-man crew.

But they seamlessly mesh together.

“If we were working with a four-man crew all year, we’d understand what’s going on,” Shantz said. “When you get to this stage, when you’re only doing three games, it’s pretty important to understand where everybody’s going to be.”

Hence the hand signals. *** Shantz wipes the plate off.

He puts the mask back on and walks behind the plate.

He signals to the pitcher with his right index finger and

says ‘play.’

Mason fires a pitch. The Kuemper Catholic batter watches it go by.

Shantz steps back, lifts his right hand, points it to the right side and says, ‘STRIKE!’ His zone does not vary throughout this game.

“It’s being consistent,” Shantz said. “A lot of it with balls and strikes it trying to be consistent as much as you can.”

He’s not always perfect, but tries to be.

“You’re going to miss some,” Shantz said. “If I miss something, it’s going to be a strike. You’re looking for strikes as much as possible.” *** Shantz and Busch acknowledge each other after plays. Besides signaling at each other, they’ll share a smile or two.

Not in this game, but in others, there’s been times where each has nearly been hit by a line drive or a throw.

They’ll crack a joke about the close call.

“We have fun,” Busch said. “We’ll laugh at each other at times, teach each other. Make sure we have fun. We’ll take a foul ball to the chest protector or something happens, a close line drive hit right at you and you’re bailing out of the way.”

The two make sure to remember that even in the midst of a high-pressure situation, baseball still is a game.

“Him and I have a friendship. We laugh and joke about it,” Busch said.

Keeping the atmosphere light at the ballpark makes the experience enjoyable for both.

“You can’t stay uptight and be nervous the whole game,” Busch said. “You have to relax and let it happen.”

That comes with working together as long as Busch and Shantz have.

“As long as we’ve worked together, it’s at a point where we have a good understanding with each other. We have that trust and confidence.

You still have the feeling of making sure you’re applying everything correctly, making sure you hustle, but have fun.” *** During the regular season, Shantz and Busch often run into familiar coaches and athletes. They’ve come to know them having worked together as long as the two have.

Each season brings up new opportunities to watch a game they both love.

“It’s seeing the kids, having fun getting to know the coaches and the kids,” Busch said.

Each game has the opportunity for the unusual, or even crazy or bizarre to happen.

“Every new game is a new night,” Busch said. “You never know what’s going to happen.”

Busch and Shantz will run into players they’ve umpired over the years. Conversations are struck up about life and baseball.

The players remind Busch and Shantz of the good work done.

“It’s being able to see the kids. They know you after they graduate. They talk about how they appreciate the work you do.”

Coaches have come to know what to expect when they see Busch and Shantz arrive at their field.

“Another thing that helps out is the coaches. You get a good relationship with the coaches,” Shantz said. “They know when we step on the field, probably not much is going to go wrong. These guys are experienced they know what they’re going to do.”

That doesn’t mean a coach may want to question what Shantz or Busch have seen and how they interpret it.

“There’s times where I thought maybe coach come out on something. I’ve been waiting for them to come out Umpires Joel Harthoorn, Steve Shantz, John Bartolo and Scott Busch walk off the field and they like, he just made after the Class 2A state championship game between Clear Lake and Kuemper Catholic the call. It must’ve been on July 30 at Principal Park in Des Moines. right,” Shantz said. “That

helps out too. The coaches like the work that we do.

Now we’re trying to move on.” *** Each spring, both men will pick up the rulebook. They’ll study up on it, make sure their knowledge of it is as best it can be.

Baseball, however, has may gray areas within its rulebook. It forces Shantz, Busch and other umpires to make judgement calls each game.

“A lot of if is interpretation of the rule,” Busch said.

“Just because it’s in black and white, it’s how you interpret that rule, how you understand it and apply it to the game.”

Baseball in its inherent beauty provides the unusual quite frequently.

“It doesn’t matter how long you do it, something new happens ever year.

Maybe not every game, but there’s situations where you look at each other and say what?” Shantz said. *** The game breezes through the first inning. Clear Lake jumps out to a quick 3-0 lead.

Kuemper Catholic comes up to bat in the bottom of the second. With one out and two runners on, Kuemper Catholic’s Ben Vonnahme hits a comebacker to Ma-

son. Mason fires to shortstop Parker Truesdell at second base. Truesdell touches the base for the out. However, in the process, Kuemper Catholic’s Brett Sibbel makes contact with Truesdell, causing Truesdell to fall down.

Truesdell is unable to complete the throw to first base for the double play.

Thompson comes out of the dugout, heading towards second base. He asks Harthorn why interference was not called on the play. Harthorn explains the situation to Thompson.

Harthorn signals to Shantz. The two discuss the play more, and whether or not the takeout rule comes into play.

Harthorn and Shantz head their separate ways.

The call on the field stands. There is no extra out for interference.

“That was one where the infielder was in front of the bag,” Shantz said. “What Joel said was he was in front of the bag. He slid right into the bag. He didn’t put his feet up, didn’t go by the bag.

It looked bad, but he’s got to go somewhere. He’s got a right to the bag. If the fielder’s there, there’s going to be contact. But there was nothing there.”

The game goes on.

By game’s end, the play in the second inning is the only controversial play of this state championship game. *** The game ends and the men in blue walk back to the clubhouse together.

One walks off the field, capping a long, illustrious career. It’s the final game Bartolo is umpiring.

“It’s been a pleasure to work with John,” Shantz said.

They walk off the field knowing they’ve done their job on this day, like they have on so many other days.

For Shantz, he had one day before his one of his primary jobs began. He started work the following Monday directing Nodaway Valley’s football camp in his role as varsity head football coach.

Busch had a little more time off before his next officiating assignment. He’ll work on a crew this fall officiating football games all over southwest Iowa.

“It’s another season in,” Busch said. “I’m glad to see these guys that we did, bring them in and start working with them, get some achievements and accomplishments.”

They’ll go home, clean the jerseys, polish the shoes and put them away for another season.

For Busch, now it’s time for football.

“You put on a different uniform and go to a different field.”

Clear Lake catcher Zach Lester and home plate umpire Steve Shantz watch a play in the seventh inning of the Class 2A state championship baseball game on July 30 at Principal Park in Des Moines.
