Iowa wind energyprojects get financial incentives

DES MOINES (MCT) — Wind energy has tak-en off in Iowa, partly because of financial incen-tives.

Early on, the Iowa Power Fund provided grants totaling $75 million to promote research and com-mercialization of energy projects, including wind developments. The success of the program was de-bated, and it was canned after Gov. Terry Branstad was elected in 2010.

The state also provided incentives for wind com-ponent companies, such as Clipper Windpower in Cedar Rapids and Acciona in West Branch, said Tina Hoffman, spokeswoman for the Iowa Eco-nomic Development Authority.

“Transportation to get something like that from Eu-rope is significant,” Hoffman said of the turbine parts.

A 20-year federal tax credit was worth about $2 billion for all U.S. wind proj-ects in 2013, accord-ing to Bloomberg BusinessWeek. The credit expired Dec. 31, but projects started by that time are eligible for up to 10 years.

Iowa offers wind energy producers a variety of tax breaks, including sales tax exemptions for equipment and reduced property taxes.

The Renewable Energy Tax Credit, for facilities placed into service before Jan. 1, 2017, gives pro-ducers or purchasers of renewable energy a credit of 1.5 cents per kilowatt hour of energy.

The Iowa Legislature also created a special property tax valuation for wind facilities in 2008. If county supervisors approve the procedures, own-ers pay no property taxes the first year of opera-tion.

The rate increases by 5 percent a year until it reaches 30 percent, where it remains.

Iowa turbines, when they reach maximum as-sessment, will add an estimated $2.6 billion to county tax collections, the Iowa Wind Energy As-sociation reported. Those taxes pay for items such as schools and roads.

In Tama County, where MidAmerican Energy

� Iowa turbines will add an esti-mated $2.6 bil-lion to count y tax collec-tions, the Iowa Wind Energy Association reports.

gates sweet corn available starting today

HOW SWEET IT IS

By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA associate [email protected]

ne of the sum-mer’s most popu-lar vegetables will be available from roadside stands

from now through the end of August.

Alan Gates’ sweet corn will be returning to sell his signature yellow-and-white sweet corn to Crestonians and other loyal customers since 1978.

“The customers are what make it fun,” Gates said. “We get customers from all over and they send our corn all over. They’ve told us they

send it to Alaska, Phoenix and a lot of corn goes to Col-orado.”

For their first few years, Gates and his wife Nancy sold sweet corn under a cov-ered parking lot that was west of Fareway before mov-ing to their current location on Adams Street across from the BP gas station.

Gates said he first started selling sweet corn to make a few extra dollars to take to the Iowa State Fair.

“We have a lot of repeat business,” Gates said. “That is one thing that really helps keep us going.”

They will have their 1954 Chevy truckbed loaded and ready to sell ears for $4.50 a

dozen.The Gates family will also

have another stand off of Sumner Street on the north-east corner of Ringgold Street. They are also hop-ing to add a “new” 1947 GM truck to sell out of at this lo-cation.

“We try to be uptown by 7:30 a.m. and to the other lo-cation by 9 a.m.,” Gates said. “Then we shuttle corn back and forth until we are sold out for the day.”

Growing sweet cornWhile area row crop farm-

ers have struggled with a cold start to the growing sea-son followed by severe storm weather including heavy

winds, rain and hail, Gates said his sweet corn stand was close to perfect until July 7.

Strong winds off a storm front knocked down stalks in the plot south of the Gates family farm, which will make harvesting the corn a more tedious task.

“We will still gather as much as we can,” Gates said. “This year has been a little different. We are starting a week earlier, all this rain and heat has moved the corn up.”

Gates grows a variety of sweet corn called ambrosia, which is known for having a good germination rate.

“It is consistent, has good vigor and it comes up out of the ground even like field corn,” Gates said. “We also like the way it hangs in the field. It gives you a little more window of opportunity (during harvest).”

Gates sweet corn is a com-plete family operation. Alan

They will be back at their normal spot on Adams Street across from the BP gas station, selling from the back of this 1954 Chevy.

Alan’s parents, Al and Mary Jean, have also helped since the beginning.

Al will celebrate his 90th birthday this month.

The Gates family has also had help from several families and friends over the years including Judy Oshel, Faith Johnston and Sandy, Gavin and Hunt-er Sickles.

“We also have a neighbor (Mary

Watkin) who knows that when we come in from the field we are hot, dirty and tired, so she comes over and has a hot breakfast ready for us every day we are out picking,” Gates said.

Watkin makes a variety of meals, but her signatures are rice, bacon and eggs or her french toast casserole.

Creston area students honored at National SkillsUSA Championships

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Students from Creston area high school and college technical education programs won the nation’s highest awards at the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference.

Industry leaders representing more than 600 businesses, corporations, trade associations and unions rec-ognized the students for their dem-onstrated excellence in 99 hands-on occupational and leadership contests, such as robotics, criminal justice, avi-ation maintenance and public speak-ing.

All contests are designed, run and judged by industry using industry standards.

Top student winners received gold, silver and bronze medallions. Many

also received prizes such as tools of their trade and/or scholarships to fur-ther their careers and education. The SkillsUSA Championships is for high school and college-level students who are members of SkillsUSA.

In addition, high scorers in the con-tests received skill point certificates. The skill point certificate was award-ed in 86 occupational and leadership areas to students who achieved a high score defined by industry. The Skill-sUSA Championships have been a premier event since 1967.

The skill point certificates were in-troduced in 2009 as a component of the SkillsUSA Work Force Ready System.

Zach Mullen of Clarinda, a student at Southwestern Community College

(Creston), was awarded the college/postsecondary silver medal in auto-motive refinishing technology.

Garrett Hogue of Lenox, a student at Southwestern Community College (Creston), was awarded a skill point certificate in collision repair technol-ogy.

“Over 6,000 students from every state in the nation came to compete in the SkillsUSA Championships this week,” said SkillsUSA Execu-tive Director Tim Lawrence. “This is the SkillsUSA partnership at its best. Students, instructors and industry representatives are working together to ensure America has a skilled work-force and every student excels. These students prove that career and techni-cal education expands opportunities.”

Union County 4-H Communications Day held Union County 4-H held

Communications Day July 1 at Southwestern Commu-nity College. At the event, 4-Hers had the opportunity to give a presentation, per-form a skit or talent, demon-strate how to make a craft, design a visual poster or practice their radio broad-casting skills.

Fourteen 4-Hers from three different 4-H clubs participated in 14 different events. These events were done either individually or in pairs depending on the category. Two judges were present to evaluate each cat-egory and the participants, as well as provide comments and feedback to the 4-Hers. The judges then made their selections for who would represent Union County at the Iowa State Fair in Au-gust.

Union County will be sending five different events to the state fair: Madison Skarda, educational pre-

sentation; Cassondra and Clarissa Hoffman, educa-tional presentation; Ericka Abell, Share the Funl; Al-livea Skarda, working ex-hibit; and Clarissa Hoffman and Aubrey Allen, working

exhibit.“These 4-Hers built a

phenomenal foundation for this communications event, I can easily see it growing for next year as more 4-Hers learn about the event,” said

Haley Jones, Union County youth and outreach coordi-nator. “Building your com-munication skills is a valu-able asset in life, and I feel it is important to bring that out in the 4-H program.”

Emerald ash borer found in Henry County DES MOINES (MCT)

— Larva collected from a tree in Mount Pleasant has been identified as the em-erald ash borer by a federal identifier.

A statewide quarantine restricting the movement of hardwood firewood, ash logs, wood chips and ash tree nursery stock out of Iowa into non-quarantined areas of other states was issued in February and re-mains in place.

“EAB typically has a one-year lifecycle, but in colder climates, it can take as long as two years,” said state entomologist Robin Pruisner of the Iowa De-partment of Agriculture

and Land Stewardship. “Finding an EAB larva in July is proof there is no ‘safe time’ for moving fire-wood in Iowa. No matter the time of year, the risk of EAB being transported in firewood is very real.”

The Iowa EAB Team provides diagnostic assis-tance to landowners and includes officials from Iowa Department of Agri-culture and Land Steward-ship, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, USDA Animal Plant Health In-spection Service and the USDA Forest Service.

The Iowa EAB Team

cautioned Iowans not to transport firewood across county or state lines, since the movement of firewood throughout Iowa or to oth-er states increases the risk

of spreading EAB infesta-tions.

Most EAB infestations in the United States, in-cluding Des Moines Coun-ty, have been started by people unknowingly trans-porting infested firewood, nursery plants or sawmill logs.

Besides being transport-ed by vehicle, the adult beetle also can fly short distances of about 2 to 5 miles.

Tuesday, July 15, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Because you feel sympathetic to someone who is less fortu-nate, you might lobby on his or her behalf with an authority fig-ure. You might try to persuade a parent, boss, teacher or VIP to help this person.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A discussion with a female friend will be mutually sympa-thetic today. As a result, you might be interested in explor-ing new ideas in politics or religion.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Personal details about your pri-vate life might confuse others today. Make sure that people have the correct facts and not assumptions that are not true.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened today, enjoy parks,

pristine nature, art galleries, museums and gorgeous build-ings. Inspiring ideas also will appeal.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’re willing to share some-thing with someone who has less. This is compassion-ate and caring; nevertheless, remember that true generosity is giving what is needed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Conversations with others will be sympathetic today. Possibly, a friend will want your help. Make sure you clearly under-stand what is going on.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You are willing to help a co-worker today, or vice versa, perhaps someone is willing to help you? Quite likely, you see ways to make improvements at work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a creative, fun-loving day! If involved in a creative project, you will be productive. Love at first sight might happen for some of you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might see how to improve things at home, especially with plumbing, bath-rooms and laundry. This is a good day to recycle and get rid of what you don’t need.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You want to persuade oth-ers to agree with you about something. Just make sure you have the correct take on things, because it’s easy to be con-fused today. (Who wants egg on their face?)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) You might see clever uses for something you already own. However, if shopping, guard against impulsive extravagance, because you will be tempted!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today the Moon is in your sign, lined up with your ruler, Neptune. This increases your Spidey sense, so you might feel very tuned in to others. It’s also a good day to think about how you can improve your appearance.

YOU BORN TODAY You have

control over your environment because you can guide, manip-ulate or influence others. You inspire people! Once you attain something, you like to keep it. Nevertheless, you have seri-ous responsibilities, because others will follow your lead. Be active with others this year. Help them. This is because your success lies with others. This is not a year to go it alone.

Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about the position of UPC codes:

“My Sound Off is about soft-drink companies. Why can’t they put the UPC code on the same side as the opening to pick up the boxes of cans? It would be so much easier and more convenient for consum-ers to place the boxes in their cart without having to turn the boxes over to be scanned with the handle on the bottom.” — Connie O. in Louisiana

It can be a hassle to have to turn things over just to be scanned. Until they change the positioning, try placing it on its side in the cart. Then the bottom can be seen to scan the code, and you still can reach the handle. — Heloise

BAGSDear Heloise: My family and

I go camping a lot. Our sleeping bags can get really dirty. What is the best way to wash them? — A Reader, via email

Who wants to sleep on dirty sleeping bags? The first thing you should do is look for a care label. Each sleeping bag should have one that tells you if it can be machine-washed or if it needs to be dry-cleaned.

They usually can be cleaned in the washing machine. Set the machine to a gentle cycle and fill the tub with water. Add the detergent and let it mix before putting the sleeping bag into the machine. Push the sleeping bag down to remove all the air bub-

bles. If your machine has an ex-tra rinse cycle, use it to remove all of the soap. Hang to dry. You can put the sleeping bag in the dryer if you want, but add a few tennis balls or clean ten-nis shoes to help distribute the filling so it will not get lumpy. Have fun camping! — Heloise

DISPOSABLE CAMERADear Heloise: Whenever my

daughter goes on a field trip, I get her a disposable camera to take. She is too young for a cellphone, and I wouldn’t want anything to happen to my camera. I love getting the film developed and seeing things through her eyes. I may have been to the places a hundred times, but it is nice to see what things she feels are important. And there are always several pictures of her and her friends, which are nice, too! — Janice, via email

ON-OFF BUTTONDear Heloise: I like to listen

to tapes and music in bed at night. I have glued a small but-ton to the on-off button of my music player and the volume button. That way, I can feel it in the dark. — Dorla R., Wilbur, Wash.

Services will be utlizing the CodeRED Emergency No-tificiation System Tuesday to call the entire commu-nity to announce and pro-mote the automated severe weather alert service.

The calls will take place Tuesday afternoon and continue until the entire da-tabase has been attempted.

Jo Anne Duckworth, Union County Emer-

gency Mangement Director, said everyone should opt in for the CodeRED Weather Warning system.

It will also encourage everyone to share the information with friends, family and neigh-bors.

Duckworth said individuals and businesses should update contact information to include cell phones as well as email and text addresses.

An update is also needed if an individual has an unlisted phone number or it recently changed.

Those without internet access can call 641-782-1622 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday

through Friday. Requirements include a physical street ad-

dress for location purposes and a primary phone number. Additional information may also be entered.

The Numbers Game

Cup champsBRASILIA, Brazil

— Mario Gotze broke a scoreless game in the 113th minute of over-time to give Germany a 1-0 lead over Argen-tina, which they would hold onto, giving them another World Cup ti-tle on Sunday.

The substitute Gotze gave Germany their fourth World Cup title and sent the streets of Berlin in a frenzy.

Germany found a way to control Argen-tina’s superstar Lionel Messi and continued to run up and down the field in overtime.

Germany’s last World Cup title came in 1990 against Argen-tina.Brazil booed

BRASILIA, Brazil — The host country was already on thin ice with their fans when they lost 7-1 to Ger-many in the World Cup semifinals. On Satur-day, a 3-0 loss to the Netherlands resulted in Brazil being booed off the pitch in front of their own nation.

Thanks in part to some poor defending, the Dutch ran ram-pant in the 2014 FIFA World Cup third-place match. Robin Van Persie started the per-formance by convert-ing on a penalty kick in the third minute. Arjen Robben went sprinting past the Brazilian de-fense but was dragged down by Thiago Silva just inside the box, awarding the spot kick.

Daley Blind, son of assistant coach Danny, tallied his first-ever in-ternational goal when David Luiz misplayed a ball in the box. Instead of heading it over his own net for a set piece, he attempted to clear it but instead directed the ball right to Blind’s foot.

Holland added an-other goal in stoppage time from Georginio Wijnaldum while goal-keeper Jasper Cillessen stopped the two sure shots he had to face.Keselowski wins

LOUDON, N.H. — Brad Keselowski took home his third Sprint Cup victory of the year at New Hampshire Mo-tor Speedway on Sun-day.

Keselowski, who won the Nationwide race on Saturday, was never tested all day long.

“It is every driver’s dream,” Keselowski said. “Every once in a while, you get these cars and thankful and try like hell to not screw them up.”

Kyle Busch won the pole headed into the race and took home second.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished in 10th, but clinched a spot in the Chase.

NASCAR will head back to New Hamp-shire in September during the Chase for the championship.

Mount Ayr rolls past Bedford, 12-0Raiderettes meet Wayne in regional final tonight

By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

LENOX — The Mount Ayr softball team that be-gan the year 1-8 will look to extend its incredible postseason run another step tonight.

The Raiderettes im-proved to 13-12 with a 12-0 victory over Bedford in a Region 6 semifinal game here Friday, after bolting to an 8-0 lead in the first inning.

The next hurdle is a big one, however. Mount Ayr faces Pride of Iowa Con-ference rival Wayne of Corydon, 26-6 and ranked fifth in Class 1A, in a re-gional final at 7 p.m. today at Chariton.

Wayne won the previous meeting this season, 10-0.

But that was before the Raiderettes gained mo-mentum, a run that in-cluded wins over fellow POI members East Union, Lenox and Bedford last week.

“It was 7-0 last time we played Wayne and we pitched to (Breanna) For-tune. She hit a flyball, but it was an error and all the runners scored to make it 10-0,” Mount Ayr coach Ranae Klinkefus said. “They’re a great team, but mentally we are in a better position now. We’re hit-ting. Nothing changes but the timing. Hitting is a tim-ing thing. If we can get the ball in play and get some baserunners on, that’s the

key. We’ve been alert and aggressive on the bases.”

That certainly was the case Friday in a game that was moved from Murray to Lenox after ninth-ranked Murray was stunned 9-4 by Bedford Wednesday night.

Mount Ayr put Friday’s game away early by scor-ing eight runs on two hits, three errors, two walks and a hit batter in the first inning.

“Errors hurt us a bunch in that first inning,” Bed-ford coach Kenny Weed said. “I honestly don’t think they would have scored in that inning if we make the plays on those two pop flies.”

The rest of the game, the margin was only 4-0. But the damage had been done. Weed called on se-nior Michaela Mogler to relieve sophomore starting pitcher Rachel Armstrong in the third inning when the score reached 10-0.

“When we score first, we play better. We have con-fidence,” Klinkefus said. “They played great de-fense against Murray. The way we hit the ball tonight was the difference. We hit a couple right at them, but for the most part we hit gaps and we hit it hard.”

At the top of the Raider-ette lineup, Paige Daugh-ton was 2-of-3 with two runs

s c o r e d and four R B I . M e g a n W a r i n s m a c k e d a double d u r i n g the eight-run out-burst, and cleanup batter Kirsten Dolecheck ripped a two-run triple to right field.Preparation

To prepare her bat-ters for Friday’s pitching speed, Klinkefus stressed proper timing.

“I was a catcher (at Pan-orama) and I pitch BP to the girls,” she said. “I’m

pretty accurate, but I’m about that speed. So that’s what we did. We preached load, load, load until you explode. Otherwise, you’ll be dropping your hands. So we practiced it.”

Bedford, meanwhile, was held to three hits in the s h u t o u t p i t c h e d by Tessa S h i e l d s , who fin-ished with s e v e n strikeouts and no walks.

Big innings sink Timberwolves in district playBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

VAN METER — South-west Valley knew going into its Class 2A District 15 opener here Saturday against Panorama it would have to avoid giving up any big innings.

But that didn’t stop the Panthers from putting up two big innings on the scoreboard in a 9-3 win that ended Southwest Val-ley’s season.

“The crooked numbers have killed us all year,” Southwest Valley head coach Pete Nett said. “One of the things we worked on was trying to get an out

and stay out of those in-nings. A couple of those times, I think we made the right choice to try to throw to a base to get a particular out, but it just didn’t hap-pen for us.”Big start

Panorama scored three runs in the first inning and added six more in the fourth inning, after the Timberwolves had cut the lead to 3-2.

Southwest Valley opened the game by com-mitting back-to-back er-rors.

Starting pitcher Colten Drake recorded a strike-out, but then Panorama put the pressure on.

Denis James singled in a

run, and then back-to-back walks brought in a run, while another run scored on a wild pitch.

Drake was able to finally get out of the inning with another strikeout and a fielder’s choice groundout.

But the damage had been done.

“We didn’t get nickle and dimed to death,” Nett said. “They got them in bunches and we just didn’t get out of those situa-tions clean enough to pre-vent those bunches well enough.”

Drake battled out of a bases-loaded jam with one out in the bottom of the second inning and then cruised through the third

inning, going three up, three down.Comeback

The Southwest Valley bats finally came alive in the top of the fourth i n n i n g , as senior E v a n B a l d w i n led off with a tri-ple off the right field f e n c e . Baldwin scored when Keegan Longabaugh reached base on an error.

After stealing second base, Longabaugh took third base when Panorama pitcher Kooper Duis threw

the ball away on a pickoff attempt.

Senior Drey Barton drove Longabaugh in with an RBI sacrifice fly to left field.

The Timberwolves load-ed up the bases when Bry-an Pearson reached base on an error, but the inning ended with a popup along the third base line, as the Panorama third baseman made the catch while fall-ing down.

“That fly ball, that’s a tough play,” Nett said. “It’s a tough play, because it’s right on a line and it’s right even with the pitcher. The ball landed in fair ter-ritory. If that kid doesn’t catch it, we’ve got the top of the order coming up and, most importantly, we’ve put a number on the board that is the same as their number, and we’ve tied the score.”

Southwest Valley couldn’t keep the momen-tum rolling, though, as the Panthers scored six runs on four hits and one error in the bottom half of the fourth inning to blow the game wide open.

Drake was relieved by Nick Frederick during the fourth inning after giving up four runs on six hits with four walks and four strikeouts. Frederick sur-rendered four runs on two hits with two walks and four strikeouts.

Neither team mounted much of an attack until the top of the seventh inning, when Frederick led off by reaching base on an er-ror. He advanced on a wild pitch and came around to score on a Ryan Allison single to left field.

“Tessa is on right now,” Klinkefus said. “Her pitch-es are hitting the spots we want them to. And she’s throwing the changeup for strikes.”

Bedford had single base-runners in the first, second and fourth innings on hits by Callie Calfee, Fallyn Beemer and Mogler. How-ever, Mount Ayr catcher Alyssa Johnson threw out Calfee trying to steal in the first inning to extinguish some of Bedford’s “small ball” attack.

Seniors on the Bedford squad concluding their ca-reers are Maddy Walston, Michaela Mogler, Jamie Herzberg and Loryn Dil-lon.

Since beating Bedford 10-0 on June 26, Mount Ayr is 6-2 and has scored in double figures four times, in addition to an 8-0 win over East Union.

“We’re having fun right now,” Klinkefus said. “Our turning point was the last time we played Bedford. We started playing like a whole different team. We have positive vibes and the morale.”Tonight’s game

They’ll need every edge they can muster tonight. Wayne cruised 8-0 over Lamoni Friday for its 26th victory. Fortune, a South-western Community Col-lege recruit, fanned 15 batters while allowing only one walk and one hit.

Wayne had only six hits, but benefitted from 15 bases on balls issued by

Lamoni pitching. Second baseman Demi Austin hit a triple and double for the Falcons.

Mount Ayr has been in a couple of regional semifi-nal games (Friday’s round) against Martensdale-St. Marys and Bondurant-Farrar in 2010 and 2009, but James Saville of the Mount Ayr Record-News said records indicate the school has not played in a regional final since falling to Underwood in 1997.

The last Mount Ayr state

tournament appearances were in 1994 and 1982 un-der coach Mark Larsen, whose granddaughter Macy Larsen plays third base for the 2014 squad.

finished the game with just three hits, struggling to fig-ure out Panorama pitcher Kooper Duis.

Duis recorded 13 strike-outs compared to just two walks in picking up the win.

“Their kid on the mound did a nice job of keeping us off balance,” Nett said. “The kids in the dugout were saying it was a knuck-leball. It doesn’t make any difference if it was a knuckleball or a curveball

or a knuckle curveball. It was an offspeed pitch that kept us off balance. We re-ally didn’t get a good read on it.”

Jones wins battle of rising NASCAR stars By JEREMIAH DAVISThe Gazette

NEWTON — Every so often, there are nights in NASCAR’s top three series when you realize you’re watching the sport’s future grow up before your eyes.

Saturday night at Iowa Speedway was one of those nights, as two of the rising talents in the sport went head to head for the victo-ry in the NASCAR Camp-ing World Truck Series American Ethanol 200.

Erik Jones, an 18-year-old run-ning a part-time s chedu le for Kyle B u s c h M o t o r -s p o r t s and Ryan Blaney, a 2 0 - y e a r -old running a full-time schedule for Brad Kesel-owski Racing, raced side by side for the win in the closing stages.

The race went to Jones — the second of his career — but not without a fight.

“It’s so cool to race with a guy that’s close to your age like that and really

battle it out,” Jones said. “I think it shows how good these young guys are, and that we can go out and do it.

“To race hard with him like that was really fun. He’s definitely a great driver. To be able to go out and race hard and end up on top is pretty special to me.”

As for Blaney, he led twice for 26 laps, and lost the lead on the final pit stop.

He got his first career Truck Series win at Iowa Speedway in 2012, and was racing as hard as he could — as evidenced by him getting sideways trying to pass Jones through lapped traffic. The result left him happy with a solid finish, but frustrated at coming up short on a track he really enjoys, finishing second.

“It’s unfortunate (to) run a truck race and Na-t io n wid e race here and finish s e c o n d (in both) a f t e r l e a d i n g a bunch of laps,”

Blaney said. “If we could have kept the lead after the pit stop, I feel like we would’ve had a better shot at beating him.”

Jones led the most laps in the race at 131, which also set a career-high for the recent high school graduate.

The NASCAR Next class member has been in contention in nearly every race he’s run this season in Kyle Busch’s No. 51 truck, but bad luck has bit him on multiple occasions. Spins in two races where he was running in the top five left him even hungrier than normal for a win, he said.

“I get limited opportuni-ties … and you really want to try to make your mark every time you get in (the truck),” Jones said. “It’s a tough industry, and when you get turned around or something like that, it’s re-ally just a bummer and you have to take that week and just throw it away.

“I was glad we could get out front and command the race and bring it home.”

limited to the race for the win. At lap 63, Timothy Peters and Ron Hornaday made contact off Turn 4 after Peters thought he was clear of Hornaday while making a pass.

Both drivers ended up scraping the wall. Then, out of Turn 2, Peters spun Hornaday, effectively ru-ining both drivers’ races and tearing the nose off Peters’ truck.

The two talked after the race, and Hornaday said

the incident will move past both drivers quickly, as they’ve both raced each other clean in the past and want that to continue in the future.

“It was just close quar-ters racing, I guess,” Hor-naday said. “It’s a shame. I thought he did it, he thought I did it. The bad part about it, we’re both racing for a championship and it hurts us even worse. You’ve got to let it go. It’s just one of them things. You race hard when you

run together week in and week out, (and) you’re gonna have things like that.

“It’s over. We race hard and all that stuff. Why let it carry over? Getting too old for that stuff — at least I am.”

NASCAR: Stanton looks to get power play going in Minnesota By JUAN C. RODRIGUEZSun Sentinel

NEW YORK — No one since Giancarlo Stanton arrived in the majors in June 2010 has served up more homers to him than Joe Espada. The Marlins’ former third-base coach and now a member of the Yankees’ front office, Espada regularly threw batting practice to Stanton through last season.

Of the hundreds of balls that left Espada’s hand and soared over fences, one stands out. A couple of seasons ago at Citi Field, Stanton obliterated a bat-ting practice pitch that landed in the third deck.

“He was the last hitter in that group,” Espada recalled. “When he hit that ball, I think it was the third or fourth swing, we ended that group. We all stopped and looked at it. I remember when he hit the ball you could hear that fans go, ‘ooh’ and he got a standing ovation. We said, ‘You know what? We’re going to stop it right here.’

“That ball in Minnesota, if he hits a ball like that, oh man, forget it.”

A first-time Home Run Derby participant, Stanton isn’t just expected to win it. E v e r y -one from fans to peers to pundits is anticipat-ing score-b o a r d -busting, light tower-scraping shots.

“I know he’s going to hit some home runs,” said manager Mike Redmond, who regularly throws to Stanton’s batting practice group and will serve in the same capacity Mon-day night at Target Field. “Hopefully it’s just a mat-ter of [how] far they go.”

Of course, Stanton wants to leave mouths agape, but that’s a secondary goal.

“If it goes over the fence, it goes over, 120 feet past or one foot past, it’s the same amount of points,” Stanton said. “It’s a com-petition, man. If I wanted to stand there and look pretty I’d just take selfies all day and post them up.

“Just be relaxed is the biggest thing. You tense up or try too hard … there are times I’ve hit 15 or 20 in 25 swings and wasn’t trying at all. There are times I’m like, ‘Alright, let me let loose,’ and I’ve hit three into the turtle. You just have to not try too much. You’re going to have the crowd and everything. You just have to remember what got you there.”

That’s exactly the advice former Home Run Derby participants David Wright and Bobby Abreu offered. Abreu in 2005 won it with an epic performance, total-ing 41 homers.

“He just has to enjoy it and not put too much pres-sure on himself,” Abreu said. “More than anything, he needs to relax. He’s go-ing to hit long home runs, but if he doesn’t think about things are going to turn out better. If he’s thinking everybody is wait-ing for a kilometric home

run, he’s going to put pres-sure on himself.”

Perhaps of equal sig-nificance is Redmond stay pressure-free. Abreu said Ramon Henderson, his regular batting practice pitcher with the Phillies at the time, deserved a ton of credit for getting him into a groove in 2005.

Redmond said unlike many power hitters who like the ball middle-in, Stanton prefers it up and out over the plate. Don’t look for Stanton to get pull-happy. He plans to stay with his usual ap-proach of driving the ball to the bigger parts of the field.

“It’s all about just get-ting it over the plate,” Espada said. “I don’t think it’s about throwing it in or throwing it out. Just get it over the white and he’ll take care of it. That’s one of the unique things about Giancarlo as a power hit-ter. He can get the barrel to the ball easily.”

Added Wright, a two-time participant and fi-nalist in 2006: “He’s go-ing to do just fine. I think it would be fairer in the Home Run Derby if they made him hit opposite-field home runs and every-body else can pull it, and he still might win. As far as just raw power goes I don’t think there’s anybody on his level.”

Dozier homers twice in Twins’ 13-5 win over Rockies By LA VELLE E. NEAL IIIStar Tribune

DENVER — Brian Dozier cranked up for the Home Run Derby at the All-Star game with two homers and the Min-nesota Twins beat the Colo-rado Rockies 13-5 on Sunday.

Dozier hit a solo homer in the eighth and added a three-run shot an inning later for his first career multihomer game. The second baseman will be one of the participants for Monday’s Home Run Derby at his home ballpark, Target Field.

Late fill-in Chris Parmelee ignited a five-run first inning for the Twins with a two-run single. He replaced outfield-er Oswaldo Arcia, who was scratched with the flu.

Hughes (10-5) picked up his 10th win despite allowing five runs and 10 hits in five in-nings. It was his first appear-ance at Coors Field.

Brett Anderson (0-3) was rusty in his first outing since April as he allowed six runs — five earned — in five innings.

The lefty has been sidelined since breaking his left index finger on April 12 while bat-ting.

Anderson did have a pro-ductive day at the plate, put-ting down a sacrifice bunt that brought in a run.

Minnesota finished a sev-en-game road swing with a 5-2 record and head into the break trailing the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers by 10 1/2 games.

Hughes was able to stave off the Rockies after being staked to an early lead. Colo-rado trimmed the deficit to 6-5 in Hughes’ last inning, when former Twin Justin Morneau scored on Corey Dickerson’s groundout.

Sam Fuld provided some breathing room in the seventh when he brought home a run with a sacrifice fly. Parmelee then added another run when he ran home on a passed ball.

Dozier increased the lead in the eighth with his homer that was just inside the foul pole in left. He then hit another an in-ning later, giving the Twins a season-high 18 hits.

Nolan Arenado and Mor-neau each had three hits for the Rockies, who head into the break 13 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.

Minnesota pounced on Anderson early by scoring five runs in the first, all with two outs and after the Twins appeared to run themselves right out of a big inning. They had runners on the corners when Kendrys Morales hit a sharp grounder that Arenado fielded and went to second for a force. Dozier broke for home on the play only to be tagged out.

Parmelee soon followed with a two-run single and Eduardo Escobar brought in two more with a double. Fuld also added an RBI single as the Twins had a season-high seven hits in the inning.

Creston Sale Begins Friday at 8AM!


Creston Chamber of Commerce golf tournament Twenty-six teams par-

ticipated in the 17th annual Chamber of Commerce golf tournament held Friday at both Crestmoor Golf Club and Pine Valley Golf Course. The event raised about $2,500.

“This tournament brings individuals and businesses to-gether that don’t always cross paths,” said Ellen Gerharz, executive director at Creston Chamber of Commerce. “It allows them to network in a fun and relaxed setting.”

The Lobby team consist-ing of Tim Gray, Jared Knut-strom, Chris Franklin and Keith Moore placed first in the tournament. The Carter Agency team consisting of Tom Hartsock, Brian Haines, Mike Tamerius and John Kawa placed second.

Longest drive honors at Pine Valley went to Jenna McKinney. Longest drive honors at Crestmoor went to T.J. Steele.
