ZOO DAY IN ORIENT� More than 40 children and parents received an up close experience with five animals from the Blank Park Zoo Tuesday at Orient Public Library. Audrey Sidey gave a short pre-sentation for each animal — bearded dragon lizard, domestic ferret, tarantula, gopher tor-toise and American alligator — and fielded questions about the animals and the zoo.

THAYER — Firefighters responded to a three-alarm house fire around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in rural Union County.

The home at 1921 Umbrella Ave., Thayer, is owned by Jim Smith.

Afton, Lorimor and Murray fire departments worked until after midnight to extinguish flames that damaged the first floor, interior walls and ceiling of the residence. No one was inside the home when the fire started. No injuries or deaths were reported with this fire.

The cause of the fire and damage estimates are inconclusive as of press time Wednesday.

“It was a hard one to get to because there were so many interior walls,” said Afton Fire Chief Jim Krantz. “It took a lot to get in and check everything.”

AFTON — At Afton City Council meeting Tuesday, the council members met with Dave Peterson of JEO Consulting Group to discuss energy options for the town.

Toni Landers, Afton city clerk, said the city’s current substation is owned by Alliant and rent-ed by the city.

“The current one is outdated, not safe and it’s time for a new one,” Landers said.

Currently, Alliant is building a new substation northwest of Afton, south of Highway 34. Afton

Flooding in Iowa results in more mosquitoes (MCT) — Mosquito activity

across Iowa has been quiet so far this year, with average populations measuring about half as big as last year at this time, according to Iowa State University entomologists.

But that could change in the coming weeks as floodwaters are expected to recede and leave be-hind plenty of standing water. Puddles and pools are “prime real estate” for mosquitoes to lay eggs, according to Brendan Dunphy, a research associate in ISU’s De-partment of Entomology.

In fact, Dunphy said in a news release, the “running dogma is that with all this rain, the mosquito population should explode at any time now.”

“Frankly,” he said, “I’m a little surprised that it hasn’t done so al-ready.”

Mosquito traps managed by the ISU Medical Entomology Labora-tory averaged twice as many mos-quitoes last June than this June. The statewide weekly average reached about 600 mosquitoes per trap in June 2013, and the highest

average this year was about 300 per trap.

ISU entomologists say the drop might be related to this spring’s late frost, which could have wiped out immature mosquitoes. Or low mosquito numbers late last sum-mer could have resulted in fewer

eggs.And this year’s numbers are

statewide averages, Dunphy said, meaning some mosquito popula-tions at the local level might be more on par with last year’s activ-ity. Still, he said, mosquitoes clear-ly aren’t as problematic as they

were last summer — so far.Wetter conditions this summer

have caused rivers across north-ern, central and Eastern Iowa to swell, flooding many communities — including parts of Johnson and Linn counties. Recent forecasts show less moisture in the forecast and floodwaters receding, but the standing water that gets left be-hind historically has meant more mosquitoes.

� The statewide weekly average reached about 600 mosquitoes per trap in June 2013. The highest average this year was about 300 per trap. However, that could change in coming weeks.

council members are weighing out the benefits of making the move with Alliant to the new substation or building their own.

“Right now we are looking at all of the costs and all of our options,” Landers said.

Splash pad updateLanders said about $4,000 is need-

ed to complete Afton’s Splash Pad project. It was proposed to host a “fall fest” in October. Last year’s Fall Fest in Afton featured a Splash for Cash 5K, inflatable bounce houses, games, trivia contest, bingo, barbecue and street dance at TJ’s Restaurant.

Landers said last year’s event

raised approximately the current amount needed.

iCash ProgramResidents of Afton will now be

able to pay their water, sewage and garbage bill with a debit or credit card thanks to a program offered by Iowa League of Cities.

The program, iCash, is intended to help cities better approach the elec-tronic payment acceptance process. Landers said the city has explored options to accept debit and credit cards in the past, but iCash offers the convenience of using a card for pay-ment at a fraction of the price of the other systems.

Currently, the city accepts checks, cash and automatic withdrawal for

payments.“This will just be another option,”

Landers said.In other Afton City Council busi-

ness:• Council members approved a res-

olution to participate in the planning and development programs of South-ern Iowa Council of Governments (SICOG).

• Approved closure of the 100 block of E. Kansas St. for That Bar’s bike night on Aug. 8.

• Discussed chapter 185 and how to enforce sidewalk regulations. The council will continue discussion of sidewalk regulations in August.

• Approved a liquor license renew-al for TJ’s Restaurant.

COUNCIL:

Five road construction projects identified for delay due to Iowa transportation budget loss

(MCT) — Five road construction projects have been identified for delay due to the potential loss of $450 million from Iowa’s transportation budget when the new federal fis-cal year begins Oct. 1.

The Iowa Department of Transportation an-nounced planned delays to “lettings” for some of next year’s projects be-cause there is not a federal transportation allocation plan after Oct. 1.

Lettings are when the state awards contracts to complete projects.

The $450 million in fed-eral money pays for about half of Iowa’s annual road plan budget.

Officials believe Con-gress will eventually adopt a funding plan, even if it

is a stop gap measure, but they are still taking pre-cautions. Those were an-nounced Tuesday during an Iowa Transportation Commission meeting.

A $2.4 million road shoulder paving project on U.S. 218 in Black Hawk County, scheduled for let-ting in July will be delayed until November.

Five lettings for work on U.S. 61 in Louisa County over the next few months will be delayed until at least October.

That project will include grading, paving and wet-land mitigation costs more than $16 million.

A $4 million moderniza-tion of a westbound rest area in Jasper County is being pushed back from the July letting schedule.

In Scott County, local road connections and traf-fic signs for Interstate 74 would be pushed off the September letting sched-ule. That project is esti-mated at $13.1 million.

Other delays could be possible.

Stuart Anderson, a di-rector with Iowa DOT, said if Congress acts be-fore October, the delay could be mitigated. The construction could still be completed on time with-out any noticeable impact, he said.

“If Congress acts, it’s possible there’s no impact to the schedule,” Ander-son said. “The reason for the action we are initiating now is because there is not a fix to this issue.”

In a separate but related issue, Anderson addressed the reduction and delay of federal reimbursements connected to the Highway Trust Fund, which helps pay for highway repairs. Those changes are expect-ed beginning Aug. 1.

Anderson said the changes could costs Iowa $15 million every two weeks.

However, Anderson said the Iowa DOT should be able to bankroll the shortfall so it holds harm-less local communities who are expecting the fed-

eral dollars, and so there is no interruption to state projects through this con-struction season.

“This is the simplest way to do it, and it doesn’t add significantly to our admin-istration of the program,” Anderson said.

ISU data shows a consistent rise in mosquito numbers in flood years like 2008 and 2010. In 2010, according to the lab, traps in western Iowa attracted up to 3,000 mosqui-toes in the weeks following widespread flooding there.

Lyric Bartholomay, an as-sociate professor of entomol-ogy and director of the medi-cal entomology lab, said in a news release that those flood-year trends might provide a glimpse of what’s in store for the rest of this summer.

“What we’ve experienced so far probably isn’t a good indicator of what’s going to happen in July,” Bartholo-may said in a news release.

Increases in mosquito pop-ulations can take about two weeks because the insects have to lay eggs and then wait for immature mosquitoes to grow into adults.

Mosquitoes are mostly harmless insects — except those carrying West Nile virus, an infection that can cause minor symptoms like fever and headache or life-threatening illness like in-flammation of the brain.

Since the virus first ap-peared in Iowa in 2002, it has been found in every county, either in humans, horses or birds. Last year, the Iowa Department of Public Health reported 44 human cases of West Nile virus and no deaths.

The public health depart-ment last week announced the state’s first confirmed hu-man case of West Nile virus in 2014. The infected adult male — aged 18 to 40 — is from

Clay Count and is recovering, according to public health of-ficials.

Iowa’s first human cases of the virus were reported around the same time last year and in 2012, and both those years saw many more reports through October. Nationally, as of June 10, 14 counties in eight states had reporting some form of West Nile activity — although most reports were in non-human species like dead birds.

Iowa public health officials also warned that recent rains and flooding could increase mosquito activity, although they said “flood mosquitoes” rarely carrying the West Nile virus.

“Therefore, heavy rain and flooding don’t necessarily re-sult in increased West Nile virus cases,” according to the department.

But mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus can lay eggs in stagnant water, which is why public health officials are urg-ing Iowans to eliminate stand-ing water, where possible.

“It is when flood water lies stagnant for several weeks that the threat of mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus in-creases,” according to the de-partment.

ISU associate professor Bartholomay said homeown-ers should rid their property even of standing water in flower pots, gutters and bird baths to avoid increased mos-quito activity.

Adair County 4-H program to benefit from silent auction

GREENFIELD — The Adair County 4-H program will be holding a silent auc-tion again this year at Adair County Fair. Bids will be ac-cepted beginning at 6 p.m. July 16 and will continue un-til 1 p.m. July 20. If there are active bidders at the cut-off point, they will be allowed to continue to bid on the item for which they are competing.

The Youth Action Com-mittee is still soliciting items for the auction. At this time, auction items range from 15 tons of road rock delivered anywhere in Adair County to a gar-den gazing ball and stand, men’s wristwatch, metal “welcome” sign, photo frames, model tractors, personal paper shred-der, small tool set and gift certificates. Minnesota Vikings fans will want to check out the NFL football autographed by quarter-back Adrian Peterson plus

signed full-color photos of two Minnesota Vikings team members. Organiz-ers anticipate there will be more than 60 items by the beginning of the silent auc-tion including toy tractors, dog food and gift baskets.

Anyone wishing to donate to the silent auction may do so by contacting Adair County Extension at 641-743-8412 or by dropping the item off at the 4-H and FFA Center noon July 15.

The silent auction will benefit the Adair County 4-H youth program. The Youth Action Committee raises money annually to support the many facets of the youth program including scholarships for youth to at-tend camp and conferences, entry fees for team events, recognition for record book completion and the many educational programs of-fered.

Ballroom dancing July 26 at Warren Center GREENFIELD — The

Warren Cultural Center, 154 Public Square, Green-field, will transform into a ballroom for an evening of big-band music and danc-ing July 26. A dance lesson will be offered at no charge starting at 7 p.m. to help everyone tune up their fox-trot, waltz and other steps. Starting at 8 p.m., The Star-dusters will play tunes from the 1920s through the 2000s with danceable bandstand styling.

The center will be set up club style with table and chairs; wine, beer, soft drinks and snacks will be available throughout the

evening. Cost is $15 per per-son. Tickets are available at Ed & Eva’s store, by call-ing 641-743-2566, online at www.warrenculturalcenter.com or at the door.

The band started playing together in the 1950s under the name The Hi-Fis, ac-cording to current leader Dale Menning. He joined the group in 1985 and it changed its name to The Stardusters.

“The little band with the big band sound” in-cludes trumpet, trombone, saxophone, keyboard, bass and drums, with play-ers from the Des Moines area, Boone and Harlan,

said Menning, who is from Guthrie Center.

“We play a little bit of everything: foxtrot, polka, waltz, rock ‘n’ roll, country, fast swing, whatever you like to dance to,” Menning said.

Dance instruction will come from Chuck and Beck Stanley. Chuck taught dance for 20 years, and ran his own ballroom in the Portland, Ore., area for 12.

The July 26 event repre-sents a return of some of the Warren Opera House’s past glory. Dances were popular events during the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s, before the ball-room/auditorium fell into disuse.

H O L L Y W O O D — H a p p y Wednesday, everybody, and God Bless America.

The Running of the Bulls was held in Spain Monday in which one guy was gored and four tram-pled as thousands raced ahead of the beasts in the streets. Some people never get the word. Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from behind, or an idiot from any direction.

ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Bagh-dadi declared a caliphate in Iraq in his sermon to a Mosul mosque. It was shown on tape. In the sermon he acknowledges the other great religions, political systems and so-cietal traditions of the world and he offers two words to them, open fire.

The World Cup drew huge TV ratings in the U.S. on both ESPN and on Univision. Enough’s enough. Residents of L.A. will be glad when the World Cup is over and all of the shouting you hear from the South Americans across the street is simply good old-fash-ioned domestic violence.

The World Cup semi-finals are held this week between Germany and Brazil Tuesday and Argentina and Netherlands today. The best way to watch the World Cup is to TiVo the games and then watch them at double speed. That way you get to see them not score goals much faster.

The New York Times reported Monday that three hundred thou-sand illegal immigrant children

have arrived at the U.S. border since the beginning of April, ac-cording to the latest U.S. govern-ment estimates. We’ve got to stop these estimators. They are de-stroying our country.

President Obama was urged by immigration advocates to grant refugee status to all the children arriving at the U.S. border. They maintain these kids are victims of poverty and the highest murder rate in the world. Many of them walked all the way to the border from Chicago.

President Obama called for an immigration policy that allows the U.S. to attract the most talented people. The best idea is a two-thousand-mile wall that’s twenty-feet high. That way anybody who makes it over the wall can bring home the Olympic gold in pole vaulting to the U.S.

Fox News reported the illegal kids from Guatemala are allowed asylum hearings under the Wil-liam Wiburforce Law signed by President Bush. That changed perceptions. It shows even Repub-licans will look after Hispanics if you name the law after a Church of England bishop.

Homeland Security ruled all cellphones on flights to the U.S. must be powered or be seized at

security. Those are long flights. Airlines will have to get rid of the oxygen masks above each seat and have iPhones drop from overhead if the passengers can’t breathe from lack of Facebook.

The Quinnipiac Poll said a ma-jority of Americans regret that Mitt Romney wasn’t elected presi-dent two years ago. Not many know about his wild side. His wife said that Mitt’s favorite drink was diet caffeine-free Coke, which Mormons believe is the gateway drug to Mountain Dew.

A Manhattan Beach swimmer is recovering in the hospital after being bitten by a Great White Shark in California on Sunday. Every one of us who’ve ever been approached by a shark in the ocean have made the same incred-ible discovery. Did you know that adrenaline is brown?

South Africa’s Olympian Os-car Pistorious wound up his de-fense that he woke up and shot his fiancee four times through his bathroom door thinking she was a burglar. It doesn’t look good. O.J. Simpson reviewed the story in Ne-vada’s prison newspaper and gave it five Pinocchios.

Hurricane Arthur rolled up the Eastern Seaboard on the Fourth of July weekend, washing out a lot of celebrations for several days. Many local fireworks ordinances were extended until this evening. This is the last night that you can light fireworks before you’re con-sidered white trash.


For most of the country, July Fourth weekend means hot dogs, fireworks and relaxing time with family. In certain neighborhoods in Chicago, it means something very different.

For the second year running, Chicago saw a spate of violence over the long holiday weekend that would generate headlines if it happened in Kabul.

“It’s Groundhog Day here in Chicago” is how Police Superin-tendent Garry McCarthy put it. This year, the tally of shame was more than 80 people shot and 14 killed. Last year, a slightly longer July Fourth weekend (the holiday fell on a Thursday) saw 75 people shot and 12 fatalities.

The astonishing numbers under-line how Chicago, despite recent progress on crime, is still a byword for gunplay and urban chaos. It is a city where life, at least among young men living in the most dan-gerous neighborhoods, is cheap.

Chicago’s killings can’t read-ily be interpreted through a racial prism, so they don’t provoke gales of outrage from the nation’s opin-ion-makers. Only very rarely do they become national causes, as in the heartbreaking case of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, shot to death shortly after performing at President Barack Obama’s inau-guration last year.

Chicago saw its homicides soar from roughly 430 in 2011 to more than 500 in 2012, before it got them back down below 2011 levels last year, thanks to more aggressive policing. They are running slightly lower again this year, although they are still higher than in New York City, even though Chicago is

a third of the size.Why is Chicago the nation’s

murder capital? Its officials always want to talk about gun laws, and Superintendent McCarthy com-plained about their laxity after the latest shootings. This is bizarre, since Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, and has been slapped down in the courts for trampling on the Second Amendment in its zeal to make it all but impossible to own guns.

Chicago is a running illustration of the cliche that if you ban guns, only criminals will own them. Not surprisingly, if you are willing to shoot someone in a meaningless gang dispute, you are willing to disregard laws for the purchase and possession of firearms.

Gun laws are beside the point. The tony Chicago neighborhood of Hyde Park could have the same laws as gun-friendly Vermont and it would still be extremely safe. What Chicago is suffering from is

not a random citywide phenome-non, but a specific, highly concen-trated one.

Overall, according to Chicago magazine, the rate of nonfatal gunshot injury in Chicago was 46.5 per 100,000 from 2006 to 2012. But it was only 1.62 per 100,000 for whites. For blacks, it was 112.83 per 100,000. For black males, 239.77, and for black males aged 18-34, 599.65, or “a staggering one in 200.”

A study by sociologist Andrew Papachristos shows that the shoot-ings overwhelmingly occur among a small network of criminal of-fenders. One of the alleged shoot-ers over the weekend has 21 prior arrests.

Chicago is grappling with the profound social breakdown of certain neighborhoods, where the two-parent family has been obliterated and where, too often, young men consider lawlessness the norm. It is here, as Heath-

er Mac Donald of City Journal writes, that gang members define themselves not by “family, or aca-demic accomplishments or inter-ests, but ruthless fealty to small, otherwise indistinguishable, pieces of territory.”

This breakdown is “the root cause,” to use that old catch-phrase, of Chicago’s violence. It blights the lives of countless young men, hundreds of whom end up in the morgue every year. You would think that trying to find ways to combat it would be an obsession of liberals who profess to care about the welfare of our cities, but all their energy is devoted to income inequality, global warming and other fashionable causes.

And the drumbeat of murder in a great American city goes on.

Greater Regional to host Living and Working Well: Together open forum

Greater Regional Medical Center is hosting a forum 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. July 15 in the Medical Arts Plaza Con-ference Room to create a dialog with business leaders and community stakeholders regarding the current health care environment. A pri-mary goal of the forum is to discuss, from the perspective of local employers, the chal-lenges they face concerning health care costs and access to services.

The forum will open with an overview of the signifi-cant investments Iowa hos-pitals are making in the care delivery improvement and cost reduction, as well as a statewide perspective on

health care provided by two leading Iowa business asso-ciations.

After those remarks, Mon-te Neitzel, Greater Regional CEO, will moderate a dis-cussion on these topics from a local perspective.

“Ultimately, our goal is to find common ground be-tween Greater Regional as a health care provider and our business community as health care consumers,” said Neitzel. “We will be working toward the development of local, collaborative strategies for an improved working re-lationship.”

For more information about the forum and pre-register, call 641-782-3828.

USDA offers contract renewal to first conservation stewardship program participants

DES MOINES — The first participants of the Con-servation Stewardship Pro-gram (CSP) have from July 11 until Sept. 12 to renew their contracts and make decisions on additional con-servation activities benefit-ing priority natural resource issues.

CSP, offered by the Natu-ral Resources Conserva-tion Service (NRCS), helps farmers and ranchers take conservation investments to the next level.

About 20,000 CSP con-tracts will soon reach the end of their initial five-year contract period. Participants may renew these contracts for an additional five years

when they agree to complete additional conservation measures. More than 1,400 Iowa farmers are eligible for this CSP contract renewal.

“CSP farmers are con-servation leaders who go the extra mile to conserve Iowa’s resources,” Iowa NRCS State Conservation-ist Jay Mar said. “The 2014 Farm Bill continued that strong commitment and heightened the program’s focus on generating conser-vation benefits.”

Since CSP began in 2009, more than 58 million acres have been enrolled in the program – an area the size of Indiana and Wisconsin combined. CSP participants

boost conservation benefits by installing new conserva-tion activities that make positive changes in soil, wa-ter, air and wildlife habitat.

“This program allows landowners to reach the next level of conservation and opens the door to trying new conservation activities,” Mar said.

For example, the program has helped Cass County Farmer Kris Wernimont use nutrients more wisely on her 231-acre farm.

She said she feels one par-ticular enhancement — split nitrogen application — is not only environmentally friendly, but it also helps in-crease profits. This practice

involves applying 50 per-cent of total crop nitrogen needs within 30 days prior to planting and the remaining 50 percent after crop emer-gence.

“We are making better use of our nutrients,” she said. “The plant can now utilize nitrogen as needed, when it needs it, and in a timely manner.”

FAMILY FEATURES

What do you reach for around 3 in the afternoon? Something salty? Something crunchy? Some thing creamy, smooth and sweet? These days, more and

more snackers are looking for something wholesome and satisfying to get them through the afternoon.

Here’s one snacking choice you may not have thought of: pudding. When pudding is made right — just the way your grandma used to — it’s made with real ingredients like milk and eggs, cooked slowly until it’s creamy and delicious. While cooking up your own pudding is a fun and satisfying weekend or evening project, when you need a quick afternoon snack, that’s probably not in the cards.

Fortunately, there are still some companies making pudding just the way you would at home, slowly simmered to perfection. This is great news for people who want a smooth and creamy snack they can feel good about. There’s a good reason why simple, com forting pudding was a favorite childhood snack — and is still a wholesome snack choice today.

Simple Ideas for a Delicious SnackPudding is perfect straight out of the refrigerator, of course, and all you need to enjoy it is a spoon. But you can make it your own with other ingredients that you probably have right in your kitchen. Take a look at your spice rack: You’ve probably got cinnamon, nutmeg and cayenne pepper. In your pantry, you’ve got crunchy cookies, pretzels and nuts. Fresh and frozen fruit are always good to have on hand. Even canned and shelf-stable packs of tropical fruits can top your pudding. Before you know it, you’ll be seeing surprising pudding pairings everywhere you look.

With a little creativity, you could have a unique pudding snack every day of the week. We’ve got a few ideas to get you started.


Banana Split Pudding Snack — Cut a banana in half the long way. Stand one half in a small cup. Spoon chocolate pudding into the cup and top with a maraschino cherry.

Chocolate Drizzled Strawberries and Tapioca Pudding — Drizzle straw berries with melted dark chocolate and allow to set. Layer chopped strawberries and Kozy Shack Tapioca Pudding in a small dish. Top with a chocolate-drizzled strawberry.

Pair wholesome, delicious pudding with ingredients from your own pantry or fridge

Peaches & Blueberries Rice Pudding — Layer diced fresh peaches, Kozy Shack Rice Pudding and blue berries in a small dish. Top with any remaining fruit.

Thursday, July 10, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

To satisfy your urge for adven-ture today, shake up your rou-tine by doing something differ-ent. You will be bored doing the same old same old. Learn something new!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Pay attention to loose details regarding inheritances, taxes, insurance matters and anything having to do with shared property. Check your bank account. Stay on top of things.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The Moon is opposite your sign today, which means you have to be cooperative with others. Be prepared to compro-mise a little. No biggie.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Take 15 minutes out of your day to do something to get better orga-

nized. You can do this at home or at work. Declutter messy areas, and throw out some stuff.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a playful, fun-loving, flirtatious day. Enjoy chatting with others, especially sports colleagues or children. Catch a movie or a matinee. Give in to pleasure.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Conversations with a female relative could be significant today. You might want to cocoon at home to restore and replenish yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Enjoy talking to others today, because you have a need to communicate. Fear not — peo-ple will be happy to talk to you, because the Sun is high in your chart, which means you look good to them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Keep your eye on your money, cash flow and earnings today. If shopping, do it earlier in the day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) The Moon is still in your sign today, which gives you an advantage over all the other signs. However, this can make you more emotional than usual.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Work alone or behind the scenes, because you feel the need for some solitude. This will help you pull your act together. You might work bet-ter, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A conversation with a

female colleague could be sig-nificant today. Or perhaps you need to have a heart-to-heart talk with a friend? This is the day to discuss future goals.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Bosses, parents, teachers and people in authority notice you today. In fact, they will learn something about your private life. It’s good to be aware of this, in case you have to do any damage control. Oops.

YOU BORN TODAY You look at the world around you with detached objectivity. In addi-

tion, you are visually aware. This is why so many of you are wonderful artists. Plus you have the patience to observe and the sensitivity to interpret what you see. This year is one of promises and opportunities for future growth. However, it’s good to clear away indebted-ness. “Pay out” is your byword this year.

Dear Readers: Have you taken a good look at your KNIFE BLOCK lately? Does it look a little dusty and grimy? What about the slots? To clean them, use the crev-ice tool on the vacuum attach-ment. This should remove most dirt, dust and crumbs. Also, you can “wash” a wood block with mild soap and warm water, letting the water run down into the slots. Air-dry, or use your hair dryer to dry the slots.

This may not seem like a big deal, but do take a look down those slots, and I think you will be surprised! — He-loise

CHEESECLOTH COV-ERING

Dear Heloise: I love cook-ing with the fresh-squeezed juices of lemons, limes and oranges, but it can be hard to keep the seeds out of the food. I cut these fruits in half and wrap them in a thin layer of cheesecloth with a rubber band. It’s easy to squeeze the juice out while keeping the seeds trapped in the cheese-cloth.

Another hint: I get fancy when company is over and tie ribbons (instead of using rubber bands) to secure the

cheesecloth. — Judy T. in Pennsylvania

TOO HOTDear Heloise: Even in the

summer, when my kids are sick, they only want soup to eat. The soup is too hot to eat right off the stove, so I always add one or two ice cubes be-fore serving it to them. This makes the soup ready to eat. — Stephanie W., via email

This hint is great any time of year to keep little ones (or even some bigger people) from burning themselves, and I have many more hints, along with soup recipes, available in my Heloise’s Spectacular Soups pamphlet. To order one, please send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Soup, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Take leftover soup, pour it into ice-cube trays, freeze and use these “ice cubes” at a later date to cool down soup without di-

luting the flavor. — Heloise MARKED BUTTERDear Heloise: Here is a

baking/ cooking hint that I recently discovered: When I take out a new stick of mar-garine or butter for my butter dish, I partially take off the wrapper. I then take a but-ter knife and make indents by each of the tablespoon markings on the wrapper be-fore removing it completely. When I need a specific num-ber of tablespoons, I just count off the markings to measure. — Gerri S. in Flor-ida

STEEL-WOOL PADSDear Heloise: I sometimes

use steel-wool pads and found I could extend their use by wrapping a used pad in waxed paper after each use. I reuse the same waxed paper each time. By doing this, I’m able to get several uses out of the pads before they start rusting. — Marie G. in New Hampshire

You also can try this clas-sic Heloise hint: Put the pad in a plastic bag and keep it in the freezer between uses. — Heloise

7Germany’s 7 goals Tuesday is the most goals Brazil has ever given up in a single World Cup Tournament.

The Numbers Game

Germany rollsBELO HORIZONTE,

Brazil — Brazil’s dreams of making a return to a World Cup final in the Maracana were shattered in the most agonising manner as Germany in-flicted on the hosts one of the most remarkable de-feats in the 84-year history of this competition.

Tears flowed like water in the Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte as be-fore even half-an-hour had gone, Brazil were 5-0 down, and the final scoreline was 7-1, equal-ling their worst-ever de-feat, 6-0 to Uruguay back in 1920 before the World Cup had even begun.

Two goals for Toni Kroos and Andre Sch-urrle , plus one each for Thomas Muller, Sami Khedira, and record-breaking 16th World Cup goal for Miroslav Klose saw the visitors delirious, while Brazil begins a peri-od of soul-searching such as never before.

Germany will go into Sunday’s World Cup final at the Maracana to face Argentina or Holland on the highest of highs.

The pain was so intense for Brazil, who had ar-rived at the Estadio Min-eirao intent on honouring their missing talisman, Neymar.Another walkoff

ST. LOUIS — Kolten Wong was sitting on a fastball, hoping for extra bases to get something go-ing in the ninth inning.

The rookie down-played his power after giving the St. Louis Cardi-nals their second straight game-winning, ninth-in-ning home run on a two-out, full-count drive that soared well beyond the right field wall.

A night earlier, Wong was part of the joyous celebration at the plate after Matt Adams hit his first career game-winning homer. He was just about to douse “Big City” with two cups of water before catcher Yadier Molina-tackled him.

This time, it was Wong getting mobbed. He said his last game-winning homer came in college at Hawaii against Louisiana Tech.Cespedes defends

American League and National League Home Run Derby captains Jose Bautista (Toronto Blue Jays) andTroy Tulowit-zki (Colorado Rockies) announced their top three picks for their teams.

Todd Frazier (Cin-cinnati Reds), Yasiel Puig (Los Angeles Dodg-ers) and Giancarlo Stan-ton (Miami Marlins) will represent the National League along with Tulow-itzki.

Bautista’s squad will include himself as well as reigning derby champ Yoenis Cespedes (Oakland Athletics),Brian Doz-ier (Minnesota Twins) and Adam Jones (Balti-more Orioles).

An additional fifth member will be named to each team on Thursday.

Stanton is the only play-er in the National League group that ranks in the top five in the majors in home runs with 21 entering play Tuesday night, but he is the NL-leader in the cat-egory.

Raiderettes finish off East UnionBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

MOUNT AYR — When the Mount Ayr players sprinted toward their cars Monday night and the East Union bus pulled out of the parking lot here, the two teams knew when they’d finish their game that was suspended in the top of the second inning.

But they didn’t know where they’d resume the game.

Tuesday morning, the field here was determined to be playable, meaning East Union would make a return trip to Mount Ayr to finish the game, trailing 2-0.

The Eagles couldn’t dig out of the 2-0 hole, as Mount Ayr pitcher Tessa Shields pitched a three-hit shutout, leading the Raiderettes to an 8-0 win.

Mount Ayr advances to tonight’s Class 1A Region 6 quarterfinal game at Lenox against the Tigers, with first

pitch scheduled for 7 p.m.Shields faced 25 hitters in

Huskies triumph in district tourney previewBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

Earlier in the day, Win-terset and Creston learned about their matchup to open Class 3A district tour-nament play July 18 in At-lantic.

On Tuesday evening at Panther Field, Winterset sophomore catcher Colby Van Pelt had the only extra-base hit of the game in their preview of the district game. But it was a big one.

Van Pelt drove a 1-2 pitch from reliever Kadon Hulett over the fence in left-center for a two-run homer, which provided some breathing room in a 4-1 victory over the Panthers.

It was a well-played game controlled mostly by the pitchers as both teams man-aged only four hits and had one error.

Panther starter Trevor Luther scattered eight walks but continually worked out of trouble with solid Pan-ther defensive play as he stayed in a duel with Win-terset junior Jacob Larson. The game was tied 1-1 when Hulett was called on by coach Steve Birchard after Luther issued a leadoff walk in the sixth.

Winterset scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch, when the throw from catch-er Chase Shiltz bounced past third baseman Brandon Phipps, allowing Allen Sha-han to scamper home.

In the seventh, a walk pre-ceded Van Pelt’s home run, boosting the Husky lead to 4-1. Hulett then fanned the side, but the damage was done.

In the Panther seventh Phipps hit a one-out single and Trey Benson walked, bringing the tying run to the plate. Shortstop Parker Klimesh relieved Larson at that point, and got the third out on a grounder to short hit by Jon Birchard.

The Panthers missed a golden opportunity while trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the sixth. With one out, Cole Crawford walked and Lu-

ther singled. With cleanup hitter Nathan Haley com-ing up, a pickoff throw from Van Pelt caught Luther off first base for the second out. Haley then popped out to second base, ending the threat.

Creston coach Steve Birchard said the game showed how close his 10-12 team is to playing with the top teams in the substate an-nounced Tuesday. Winter-

set (16-5) takes on Creston at 5 p.m. July 18 in Atlantic, followed by Glenwood vs. Atlantic.

Harlan, Greene Coun-ty, Carroll and Denison-Schleswig are in the other district in Class 3A Substate 8.

“I told the guys, this is the number two seed and we’ve beaten the number one seed (Harlan),” Birchard said. “So, we know if we play and

things go our way, we could make a run through sub-state. But it takes making the plays and being heads up. We need to put more consistency in our offense, up and down the order.”

The top five in the Pan-ther batting order Tuesday went 1-of-12 at the plate. Third baseman Brandon

Panther freshmen end with twinbill sweep The Creston freshman

softball team went 3-3 in recent action against Clar-inda and Glenwood to wrap up a 5-8 season.

On June 25 Creston de-feated Clarinda 11-5 and lost 15-7 in the second game.

Hannah Fogle pitched five innings in the opener with six strikeouts, three walks and three hits al-lowed. Creston did not have any hits in the vic-tory, but did accrue 14 walks and five batters hit by pitch.

Sydney Martin and Cammy Rutherford each had two hits in the second game.

Glenwood swept the Panthers on June 26, 14-1 and 16-2. Fogle hit a triple and single in the opener, MyKenna Hribal had a double and single, Ruther-

ford hit a triple and single and Leah Stow rapped two singles. Angel Stow also had a hit.

Creston had no hits in the second game against Glenwood.

The season ended in a sweep of Clarinda, 7-6 and 7-3.

Fogle pitched three in-nings in the opener with two strikeouts, three walks and five hits allowed. Rutherford was the win-ning pitcher with one shut-out inning that included no hits, one walk and one strikeout.

Rutherford also had a double and single for the Panthers. Hribal and Cay-la Maitlen also had hits.

Morghan Frey was the winner in game two, going three innings with three strikeouts, one walk and one hit allowed. Desi Os-

terhout pitched one inning with a strikeout and two walks.

Hribal was 3-3 for the Panthers with a double.

Frey was 2-2 and Macy Andreasen also had a hit.

“We wrapped up the season with two wins against Clarinda,” coach

Rich Gander said. “The girls felt they got a lot of positives out of the season. I appreciated that they were willing to learn more

about the game and keep working. I really enjoyed working with the girls this season.”

Panther freshmen gain first wins The Creston freshman

baseball team split recent doubleheaders with Glen-wood and Atlantic, while dropping one seven-inning game to Norwalk.

Glenwood topped the Panthers 7-1 in the opener here June 26. Dustin Mer-ritt, Deavon Reese, Kolby Tomas, Cody Wagner, Cory Marquardt, Garrett Dahl and Mason Kinsella each had hits for Creston. Merritt pitched three in-nings with four strikeouts and four walks. Tucker Flynn pitched one inning with two strikeouts, two walks and two runs al-lowed.

Cody Wagner pitched in the 10-5 second game vic-tory, with two walks and two strikeouts. Wagner also was 2-of-3 with a tri-ple and single.

Others with two hits were Kelby Luther, Ian Burns, Nathan Pudenz and Cole Higgins. Higgins also

had two walks.“There was some amaz-

ing baseball in both games,” Creston coach Anthony Donahoo said. “Glenwood had some nice players and our boys final-ly put everything they’ve been learning together and played solid baseball. It was nice to get a win, but more importantly they played fundamental base-ball.”

Norwalk defeated Cres-ton 15-1 at Panther Field on July 1. Wagner, Merritt and Luther all pitched for Creston. Merritt allowed only one run in one inning, with a strikeout and two walks.

At the plate, Merritt, Wagner, Flynn and Kin-sella were each 2-4.

“The boys battled until the end,” Donahoo said.

On July 3 here, Creston beat Atlantic 4-3 in the opener before falling 9-1 in game two.

Wagner again pitched the victory. In four in-nings he struck out four, walked four and allowed three runs. He helped his cause with two singles at the plate.

Also going 2-2 were Dahl, Trevor Marlin and Clayton Davis.

Flynn pitched game two with three walks and three strikeouts. Clayton Da-vis was 2-2 at the plate. Ian Burns, Matt Hoffman, Dylan Linch, Flynn and Ben Bargstadt each had one hit.

“It was fun to have such a positive day of baseball,” Donahoo said. “Cody Wagner had a fun day of pitching and everyone got to experience the pres-sure of holding a lead into the last inning. They did an amazing job of putting what they’ve experienced together.”

innings over Southwest Val-ley here on Tuesday.

The Timberwolves were held to just two hits, as Bry-an Pearson and Evan Bald-win each singled.

“Tonight was definitely a step back from our zero er-ror, two walk game last time we played,” Southwest Val-ley head coach Pete Nett said. “We had two guys on base in the first inning and hit into a line drive double play, and it kind of went downhill from there. Their pitcher really settled in after that first inning and kept us off balance with his assort-ment of pitches.”Nodaway Valley 5, Adair-Casey 0

P h i p p s had two of the Pan-thers’ four hits Tues-day from the sixth position in

the order. Nelson had two of Winterset’s hits at the top of the Huskies’ lineup.

Winterset coach Travis Nedved said he sees the sub-state wide open, including op-portunities for both his team and the Panthers when the playoffs start in nine days.

“It looks like the schools

in Creston’s conference are beating each other up,” Nedved said. “Everybody has a shot if they hit the ball and make the plays. Tonight, we hit the ball well but they were just making plays. Our pitch-ing and defense have been good for us, and in these tight games that helps out.”

Larson improved to 5-0 for the Huskies in the four-hit victory, just one out short of a complete game.

Prior to the game, Garret Taylor, Crawford, Benson, Haley, Birchard, Luther and Phipps were honored along with their parents in senior night recognition.

Today the Panthers and Clarinda resume their sus-pended game from June 3, with the Panthers batting in the bottom of the second and the score tied 1-1. The JV game will start at 3:30 p.m. with the rest of the varsity game to follow.

When the teams played at Clarinda, the Cardinals ral-lied from a 7-2 deficit with two outs in the bottom of the seventh to stun the Panthers, 8-7.

The busy week continues Thursday with a conference home varsity doubleheader against Lewis Central (22-7 overall, 13-4 in conference play.

Around the Hawkeye 10 Tuesday, scores were St. Al-bert 8, Shenandoah 1; Deni-son-Schleswig 17, Audubon 2 in four innings; Harlan 15, Clarinda 2; Glenwood 11,

Le Mars 4; Missouri Valley 5, Shenandoah 4; and Lewis Central 4, Logan-Magnolia 3 in 10 innings.Junior varsity

Winterset won the JV game 9-5 as winning pitcher Cole Seiler struck out eight, walked three and allowed seven hits.

Cody Crawford pitched 2 1/3 innings for the Panthers and Brenden McDowell pitched the final 3 2/3. Com-bined they allowed 11 hits with two strikeouts, and one walk. The Panthers had four errors.

Third baseman Jaden Driskell was 2-of-3 with two RBI and one run scored for Creston (9-6). Dustin Mer-ritt had a hit and drew two walks. Will Gordon hit a pair of doubles.

“We came out a little lacka-daisical with some errors,” Creston coach Ben Landers said. “At the plate we were too anxious early, but we started hitting well in the fifth when we had three or four of our hits.”

After today’s action against Clarinda, the Panther JV plays two games Friday at Chartion in a matchup re-cently added to the team’s schedule.

made several clutch plays in the final couple of innings.

The Raiderettes scored three runs in the third inning and three runs in the fifth in-ning to build the 8-0 lead.

Alyssa Johnson led the Mount Ayr of fens ive attack with two hits, inc luding a double, and two runs batted in. Daugh-ton, Macy Larsen and Megan Warin each record-ed two hits, as well. Warin drove in one run.

Mount Ayr scored three

runs on wild pitches and had three innings Tuesday night that were three up, three down.

But timely hitting was key for the Raiderettes, Klinke-fus said.

The Raiderettes now play Lenox, a team they split with during the regular season.

Lenox won 10-6 on June 10, but Mount Ayr turned the tables with a 14-3 win in five innings on July 1 in Lenox.

“It’s going to be a tough one,” Klinkefus said. “They’ve got some speed when they get on the base-paths and (Aurora) Arevalo is a heck of a catcher and can hit the ball. Tessa is pitch-ing well, which helps. We’re having fun.”

Call a CPA for the NBA to decipher a potential new contract for Carmelo By MIKE BRESNAHAN and ERIC PINCUS Los Angeles Times (MCT)

LOS ANGELES — Day No. 8 came and went with-out a commitment from Car-melo Anthony.

To the Los Angeles Lak-ers. To the New York Knicks. The Chicago Bulls. To anybody.

He remained “torn” on his decision, the New York Daily News attributed to an unnamed friend of An-thony’s, and the Lakers re-mained very much in limbo.

Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak has been in contact with Anthony’s representatives on a regular basis. Kobe Bryant has also had continual conversations with the high-scoring for-ward.

If Anthony agrees to join the Lakers, another commit-ment is expected to come quickly from Pau Gasol, who wants to return to the Lakers but wants them to have a stronger roster.

Until then, the Lakers sit around and wait.

They’ve done this before on a smaller scale, not re-signing Lamar Odom until the last day of July in 2009, a valuable piece of a cham-pionship team who helped take them to another one in 2010.

This is different.This is trying to entice a

player to leave more money on the table and turn his back on the city where he grew up and the team he called home the last 31/2 seasons.

But how much money would he really leave behind if he chose the Lakers over the Knicks?

On paper, he would ac-cept a four-year, $95.9-mil-lion contract instead of a five-year, $129.1-million deal.

In reality, New Jersey-based certified public ac-countant Robert Raiola said Anthony would net

closer to $66.7 million with the Knicks after taxes, com-pared to $49.3 million with the Lakers.

New York’s offer would still be larger, but by a more modest $17.4 million.

Independent salary cap expert Larry Coon argued the comparison itself was moot, unless the player was primarily focused on guar-anteed salary.

“Comparing a four-year contract to a five-year con-tract is like comparing ap-ples to oranges,” Coon told the Los Angeles Times. “A player who signs a four-year contract can presume he will sign for a fifth year down the line. It’s not a matter of leav-ing that money on the table, it’s a matter of locking in that money, and his future value, right now.”

Anthony, who won an NCAA title at Syracuse, would be 34 after a four-year contract, eligible for another three-year deal.

“For Anthony, other fac-tors may come into play,” Coon said. “There could be a new collective bargain-ing agreement between the owners and players’ union in 2017. It could very well be more favorable to the play-ers.

“In addition, the NBA is expected to negotiate a new national television deal in 2016, which could signifi-cantly increase revenues and salaries. Anthony could take advantage by timing his next free agency for 2017.”

From the beginning, the Lakers have appealed to Anthony’s business sense, pitching him on the one thing they have over New York — Hollywood instead of Wall Street.

Executives from Time Warner Cable and AEG made presentations at the Lakers’ sit-down with An-thony last Thursday. Movie producer Joel Silver also made an appearance and showed Anthony a four-minute trailer he created about Anthony’s career.
