Dueling Pianos bring the heat
BY ZACH CLEMENS
The temperature was as high as
the excitement for Rockwell residents when they saw the return of
the Dueling Pianos of Andy Anderson and Mike Leeds on Saturday,
June 10.
The family-friendly show was a
fundraiser for the Rockwell Community Fire Department that is in its
fourth year.
“What’s nice about the show is
Mike and Andy play a wholesome
show so the whole family can come
out and enjoy everything with no
age restrictions,” said Rockwell Fire
Chief Mark Lowe.
This is the biggest fundraiser of
the year for the Fire Department and
even though attendance was down
from past years due to the heat, the
crowd stayed longer as it was the
first year the event didn’t get rained
out.
Lowe did not have final fundraising numbers but hopes to purchase
new rescue tools, portable generators and the department’s fire suits
are due to be replaced soon.
Everything from rock to pop and
country was performed. Anderson
and Leeds got the whole crowd involved in the performance as well,
signing along and requesting songs
throughout the night. It was a fun
way for the whole family to enjoy
some clean entertainment.

Sheffield resident recognized for
25 years of weather watching
Sheffield resident Bill Mateer
recently completed 25 years of service as a National Weather Service
Cooperative Weather Observer. He
began his tenure in January of 1991
and provides the National Weather
Service (NWS) with precipitation
information on a daily and monthly
basis for the city of Sheffield.
The weather information Bill provides the NWS becomes a permanent
part of the climatic record for the local area and nation. Many public and
private sectors use this data extensively.
There are nearly 300 volunteer
cooperative weather observers in
Iowa and nearly 12,000 nationwide.
Observers are located at homes,
farms, municipal facilities, utilities,
dams, parks, radio and television stations and many other locations.
The nation owes a sincere debt of
gratitude to the cooperative weather
observers who have quietly and
steadily built up what amounts to

a priceless national treasure in the
finest tradition of volunteer service
in their country. The United States
Government, the NWS, State Cli-
matologist, community and others
greatly appreciate this service and
thank Bill for 25 years of a job well
done.
With summer two weeks old,
Sheffield youth might be interested
in the new summer recreation program created by City Clerk Katy
Flint.
“I thought it would be a good idea
to have something organized for the
kids to do during the summer,” she
said.
Children entering first through
fourth grade are welcome to attend
every Tuesday from 10-11 a.m., in
City Park in Sheffield (rain location
is City Hall).
Flint says her goal each week is to
have a game and a craft, then read a
story followed by a small snack.
Flint got the idea from her days
of growing up around Hampton. She
participated in that program during
her youth and decided to pursue it in
Sheffield.
“I proposed the idea to the council and told them I would organize it
and get the funding and they said go
for it,” Flint said.
She was able to obtain full funding for the program from Jim Blood
at Iowa Drainage in Sheffield.
Flint said she does accept middle
school and high school volunteers to
help keep the kids organized.
“I just thought it would be fun for
the kids to have something to do in
the morning,” she said.

Final action
With the arrival of June, it means
that warmer weather and summer is
here. Our free time will soon be filled
with county fairs, cook outs, parades
and more time with family. I know
that I’m looking forward to this summer!
Recently, Gov. Terry Branstad
completed action on the 2016 session by signing the final bills from
this year. In this week’s newsletter,
I’ll highlight a few of the good things
that we accomplished this session
that were signed into law:

Investment and Insurance Products: X NOT FDIC Insured X NO Bank Guarantee X MAY Lose Value
Budget: Branstad issued no vetoes and signed off on the budget in
full. This year’s budget continues the
practices of spending less than the
state collects and not using one-time
money to pay for ongoing needs.
This is the sixth year in a row that the
Legislature has abided by these common sense measures. The budget is
responsible and makes investments
in Iowans’ priorities like education,
public safety and health care.

June is Great
Outdoors Month
The 2016 summer recreation season is just getting started and there
are plenty of days ahead to enjoy the
outdoors.
Gov. Terry Branstad recently
proclaimed June as Great Outdoors
Month, encouraging all Iowans and
visitors to take the time to enjoy the
state’s recreational opportunities,
take in its scenic beauty and make a
commitment to stewardship of our
natural resources.
Great Outdoors Month is designed
to focus on the importance of simple
outdoor activity and appreciation
of Iowa’s natural resources, by promoting biking, swimming, hiking,
paddling, fishing, hunting, boating,
bird watching, camping and general
nature exploration of our lakes, prairies, woodlands, rivers and wetlands.
The economic impact of outdoor
recreation nationally exceeds $650
billion in annual expenditures, and
in Iowa, it supports an estimated
105,000 jobs.
Iowa’s parks, forests and wildlife
areas reflect the state’s natural and
cultural history and attract millions
of recreationists each year. Iowa’s
state parks alone expect to host more
than 900,000 overnight stays and
nearly 15 million day visits this year.

Dean’s List
Wartburg College recently recognized 427 students who were named
to the 2016 winter/May term Dean’s
List.
Local students named to the list
included Micayla Schulz, of Sheffield, and Zach Vanness, of Latimer.
The list honors students who
earned a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or
above in at least five course credits
during the two terms. Four of the five
course credits must be graded with a
traditional letter grade.
plan to provide oversight to the
state’s new Medicaid Modernization
program. This session, the Legislature passed comprehensive oversight
measures that will provide legislators
and the public with unprecedented
levels of data on the state’s Medicaid
program. Some of this information
has never before been available or
tracked. With this data in hand, we’ll
be able to ensure that patient health
outcomes improve, cost savings are
realized, and waste and abuse are
minimized.
Early Literacy Initiative: House
File 2412 ensures that parents receive
updates and are notified regularly on
their student’s progress in reading
more than once a year. The bill also
clarifies that reading proficiency at
the end of third grade is not based on
a single test score when determining
retention.
Right-to-Assistance: House File
493 is aimed at protecting victims of
domestic abuse by ensuring that residents, tenants and landlords can request emergency assistance without
being penalized or fined by government entities. The bill also prohibits
an owner or landlord from restricting
a resident’s right to summon law enforcement assistance on behalf of a
victim of abuse, a victim of a crime
or an individual in an emergency.
These bills are just a handful of
some of the good public policy that
the governor signed after session
adjourned. Earlier in the session the
governor signed many good bills like
setting funding for education and
providing certainty to Iowa taxpayers by coupling with the federal tax
code and Section 179 depreciation. I
believe that we left Iowa in a better
position as a result of this past legislative session.

I am prepared
Last weekend saw the release of
one of my most anticipated films of
the year. As of writing this, I’ve yet
to see “Warcraft,” but my excitement
has not been dampened by the 22%
Rotten Tomatoes rating.
Yes, a 22% rating. A far cry
from the 90% that “Captain America: Civil War” received and even a
smidge lower than the 27% of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,”
a movie I only watched so I could
confirm with my own eyes how bad
it actually was.
So why am I so excited by a movie that’s considered worse than a
movie I hate-watched?
Because even though a lot of
people aren’t too keen on the movie,
all the right people are. Specifically,
fans of the Warcraft video game
franchise. By all accounts, Duncan
Jones has made that rare gem. A video game adaptation that is actually
faithful to the source material.
It’s strange. Comic book adaptations have made incredible strides
towards faithful adaptations in the
last decade. No longer do we joke
about “blue and yellow spandex.”
Today we expect characters and costumes that look like they were lifted
straight off the page.
Hollywood has become more
considerate to books as well. Sure
the mega-fans out there might bemoan some of the changes made
when adapting the Harry Potter or
Hunger Games books, but those
movies are much more faithful to
their source material than anything
Stephen Spielberg ever adapted,
from “Jaws” to “Jurassic Park.”
But while adaptations of comic
books and novels make up a good
chunk of Hollywood’s most successful movies, video game movies have
yet to break into the mainstream and
the demand for faithful adaptations
has never been much of a priority.
Generally speaking, there are
two kinds of video game movie.
There are movies that try to adapt
the source material, fail, and turn out
to be terrible. Then there are movies
that completely abandon their source
material and turn out to be terrible
anyway.
“Warcraft,” as I’ve heard from
friends who have already seen it,
breaks this pattern with a strong
reverence for the source material.
Not surprising since the story was
written by Chris Metzen, Blizzard’s
vice-president of story and franchise development, and the man who
crafted much of the game’s lore in
the first place.
Even in the trailer’s I’ve seen, the
care taken to properly represent the
game has been impressive. Every
location shown in the trailer should
be recognizable to anybody that has
spent a fair amount of time playing
“World of Warcraft.” From Stormwind City to the fields of Westfall to
poor Lakeshire, the locations in the
movie look like they were lifted directly from the game.
This isn’t just about fan-service.
Things like this signify how much
care and attention went into creating the film. It would have been easy
to take liberties for the sake of time,
money, or effort, but they didn’t. If
you paid to see a Warcraft movie,
that’s what you’re going to get.
In fact, this movie may actually be more faithful to the Warcraft
franchise than the game it’s based
on.
The movie depicts the events of
what fans know as “The First War,”
which was depicted in the 1994
game “Warcraft: Orcs & Humans.”
However, as the first game in the
franchise, the story wasn’t nearly as
fleshed as it would one day become.
Much like how Batman’s early days
were spent murdering evildoers and
Superman originally couldn’t fly, it
took a few years for Warcraft to really solidify its story.
So if you’re still playing “World
of Warcraft,” this movie will actually be more in line with the game’s
lore than the 1994 game is.
Now, does any of this mean
AGE OF
THE GEEK
Travis
Fischer
Generally speaking,
there are two kinds
of video game
movie. There are
movies that try to
adapt the source
material, fail, and
turn out to be
terrible. Then there
are movies that
completely abandon
their source material
and turn out to be
terrible anyway.
“Warcraft” will be a good movie?
According to director Duncan Jones,
about 40 minutes of character work
were left on the cutting room floor,
which would go a long way towards
explaining the lackluster reaction
from the general audience critics.
On the other hand, while domestic critics have been less than enthusiastic, the film is making a mint
overseas, so it must be doing something right.
Is this a movie for fans only? Is
there a disconnect between the critics and the general public?
I do not know, but either way it’ll
be a good one for me.

The millennials’ distopian utopia
I’ll never forget when our oldest son came home from college and
declared the welfare state to be legitimate because “we” voted for it. I can’t
think of a better illustration of “democratic socialism.”
No founding father ever had a
good thing to say about democracy.
They intended to design a republic,
not a democracy.
The candidacy of Bernie Sanders
presents an opportunity to examine
democratic socialism. It is extremely
important because vast quantities
of millennials (not all of them) are
belching forth from schools with the
same ideas that Hans formed while
at UNI. They flock to Bernie events
like Beatles concerts. When you get
old, time goes faster. It allows you to
see trends more clearly. The trend is
toward the worship of government as
the provider of all things and away
from self-sufficiency.
I was listening to a conservative talk show the other day and this
person was so befuddled that Bernie
(Sanders) called himself a democratic
socialist. He believed democracy is
the opposite of socialism. This is the
kind of numbskullery that enables
people like Bernie to garner such a
fervent following. People, like this
talk show host, don’t recognize that
nation building, space exploration or
medical research are every bit as socialistic as an unwed mother on welfare. But if this radio celebrity had
denounced democracy as the fuel that
drove socialism, he would also have
to denounce his own preferred transfers of wealth by saying, “We voted
for it.”
Venezuela voted for it, and it is
incredibly timely that Bernie is pushing for the same system here. The fact
overlooked most often by promoters
of socialism is that, while youthful
idealism might inspire us to work
to promote the common good for a
while, the need for food and shelter
enter the picture soon and cause a
change of heart. All this free stuff has
to come from somewhere.
Hugo Chavez, after being democratically elected in Venezuela, expropriated 1,200 farms and companies in
an effort to fund his benevolent programs, even giving away houses. If
you wanted to start or expand a business with the ever-present threat that
the government could seize it for the
common good, would you?
On an interview show on public radio (“Fresh Air” with Terry Gross) the
subject of the Venezuelan catastrophe
was repeatedly referred to as being
caused by falling oil prices. The New
York Times reporter interviewed,
who lives in Caracas, glossed over the
fact that the entrepreneurial climate
in Venezuela had been destroyed by
socialism. It was interesting to hear
a resident of Caracas give first- hand
accounts of the long lines, empty
shelves and hunger, but never relate it
to Venezuela’s “business friendliness”
ranking by the World Bank as 186th
out of 189. Apparently his paycheck
from New York City sets him apart
from the victims of socialism in Caracas.
I implore any millennials who
might read this to consider the consequences of a democratic socialist system. Also, conservatives should consider the benefits of privately run and
funded businesses they have traditionally accepted as things that needed to
be done by government; such as the
nation building, space exploration and
medical research mentioned above.
Thomas Jefferson said government
will inevitably grow. I now see that the
federalist idea is what was intended as
a way to impede socialism. But starting with Lincoln’s war, then Johnson’s Great Society and Civil Rights
Act, our property is no longer ours to
use as we see fit. States as well, have
no ability to compete, or should I say
they only compete through subsidies
and tax breaks (plainly more socialism).
So the democracy we now suffer
under is still offered as a solution to
the problems created by democracy.
The vote, as a means to circumvent
limited government, worked in Venezuela and it will work here if we let
it. Venezuela has the highest murder
rate in the world.
I wish these millennial democratic
socialists could have their own state
where productive people like Hans
(who soon saw the light) could move
elsewhere. The socialists could remain and put up a billboard saying,
“Welcome to the Distopian Utopia.”

Tourism grows the economy
and improves quality of life
Summer is here, and it’s time to
enjoy all that Iowa has to offer.
Our great quality of life is bolstered by the arts, culture and recreation. These opportunities and
amenities are important to local
communities. They attract families
and young professionals to make
Iowa their home, create jobs, draw
business investment and boost tourism.
Travel and tourism have a huge
impact in Iowa, with spending
growing faster than the national average in recent years. In 2014, travelers spent more than $8 billion and
supported 66,500 Iowa jobs.
The Legislature’s investments
this year should help continue that
trend, while providing great things
to do, see and learn. We’re preserving and enhancing Iowa’s history,
culture, arts and recreation with:

Marie “Lisa” Peak
On Tuesday, September 7, 1976, Marie “Lisa”
Peak was found lying face down in a ditch in rural Bremer County. The 19-year-old Wartburg
College sophomore had been sexually assaulted and, according to autopsy findings, died of
suffocation and a broken neck. None of Peak’s
clothing was found at the scene. Her body was
located beside a gravel road a quarter mile north
of Waverly’s city limits.
Peak was majoring in journalism at Wartburg
College in Waverly and had returned to the
campus for a new school year on September 5.
Friends last saw Peak the next afternoon when
Peak said she was going shopping at the Willow
Lawn Shopping Center in Waverly. When she
didn’t return to her dorm, the friends reported
her missing.
Earlier in the year, Peak had provided information to authorities regarding a sensational
sex and extortion scheme. The information led
to the arrest of Mason City used car salesman
John Joseph Carmody, Jr. Carmody had blackmailed more than a dozen women into having
sex with him, using threats of mafia retaliation
if they refused.
Peak had spent her May term working as a
reporter for the Clarksville Star. She and Iowa
writer Chuck Offenburger had planned to write
a book about the blackmail scheme, and on
August 23 had written Carmody of their plans.
The week before Peak’s murder, Offenburger
received a letter from Ted Enabnit – a Mason
City attorney who represented Carmody in the
court proceedings – stating “Mr. Carmody and
his professional writer associates are and will
produce the appropriate literary work to tell
Mr. Carmody’s story from the mass of accumulated materials.” Offenburger said Peak had
received threats after Carmody’s imprisonment
from women who said they loved Carmody and
wanted to marry him.
Many wondered if Peak’s murder might be
connected to two other Waverly homicides.
Julie Ann Benning of rural Clarksville disappeared the day after Thanksgiving in 1975; the
18-year-old’s nude and decomposed body was
found the following March in a roadside ditch
just six miles from where Peak’s body would
later be dumped. A third unsolved murder occurred five years earlier when the partially clad
body of Valerie Lynn Klossowsky, 14, was found
south of Waverly. Both Benning and Klossowsky had been strangled.
On May 7, 2010, state and Bremer County officials exhumed Lisa Peak’s body with hopes of
discovering new DNA evidence. They found that
Peak’s coffin was too broken down and her body
too deteriorated to preserve her killer’s DNA.

f the surge in barbecue and smoking competitions across the country is
any indication, grilling has become an art form. This Father’s Day, grab
dad and gather around the grill or try a new technique that’s rising in
popularity – smoking – to create a masterpiece meal – and plenty of memories – together.
From secret marinades to tricked out grills and smokers, competitive smokers know there is a near ritualistic approach to teasing the perfect flavor out of
a premium cut of meat. Follow in the footsteps of those pit masters and smoke
like a pro with these tips from Omaha Steaks Executive Chef Karl Marsh.
Start with style
The first step is deciding how you’d like to prepare your meat. Consider
stepping up your game by smoking your meat. Smoking is a popular choice
because it infuses flavor throughout the meat, while extended cook times at
low temperatures make it extra tender. Another advantage is the chance to
create a wide range of unique flavors using wet and dry rubs, as well as seasoned wood chips and planks.
Choose your cut
Virtually any meat can be smoked, but the most popular cuts of meat to
smoke are brisket, ribs, pork shoulder or turkey, all of which are typically
large in size. Guarantee a great experience with Omaha Steaks Brisket for
smoking or Whole Pork Butt,
which were created with the competitive barbecue and smoking
circuit in mind.
Ready your rub
Rubs are often used to add flavors and surface texture to a cut
of meat. For best results, brush
meat with cooking oil or another
liquid ingredient (such as yellow
mustard) before adding the rub. Rinse bristket with vinegar, then
Spread the rub on a clean plate water.
and place the meat on it. Coat
both sides with the rub by gently
pressing the meat on the plate.
Set up the smoker
Some pit masters consider their
equipment as vital an ingredient as
the meat or flavorings they choose.
Preparation varies from one recipe to the next, but one constant Dry meat and prepare rub.
is the importance of maintaining
a steady temperature. As you prepare your charcoal, be conscious
of where you’ll place any wood
chips or other flavor enhancers for
maximum impact.
Slow and steady
Sensational flavor takes time to
build, so plan to dedicate several Coat meat generously with rub.
hours to your task. Often, smoked
foods require foil wrapping for at
least a portion of the cook to retain moisture. Plan to check in at
regular intervals to restock wood
chips, flip or rotate meat and apply
a fresh coat of seasoning or spices.

Matinee gets away:
▪ Early start
affects West
Fork, Clarksville
in different ways
BY KRISTI NIXON
SHEFFIELD – After getting
rained out the day before, West Fork
coach Lance Thompson wanted to be
sure he got this non-conference baseball tilt in, so he chose to play varsity
first against Clarksville in an eventual 11-1, five-inning win for his team.
The early start benefited the Indians at first, who are used to opening with varsity contests, but once
the Warhawks got warmed up – and
Clarksville ran out of pitching – it was
all West Fork in the end on Thursday,
June 9.
“Last night when we didn’t have
anything predicted and we got rained
out with lightning and thunder,”
Thompson said. “And this morning,
when I saw there was a chance of it,
I didn’t want to take the chance and
get it in.
“JV kids now are going to have a
game under the lights, so that will be
a fun feeling for them, as well.”
Clarksville coach Zach Bergman,
if he had his choice, would continue
to play varsity first.
“I don’t know what it is, but we’ve
played JV first a couple times this
year and the games haven’t been
good,” Bergman said. “GMG we
played first, lost 9-0 and came out
flat; North Butler, we lost 7-2, came
out flat. It definitely helps when we
play varsity first in my opinion because the guys have a chance to not
settle down, I guess.
“They are too relaxed when we
play JV first and have the tendency
to…mess around.”
It showed as the Indians and starter Caden Hobson held the Warhawks
to a single run in the first three innings despite the home team holding
a 4-1 lead into the bottom of the fifth.
Hobson struck out five, including
West Fork’s top two hitters, Rylan
Fleshner and Clay Emhoff.
But in the fourth, Hobson gave up
three runs on three hits and walked
one before yielding to Tanner Gilbert
on the mound in the fifth.
“We kind of ran out of pitching,”
Bergman said. “We had a long week
and we don’t have (Dakota) Garretson, as you know (who was on a
school Washington D.C. trip). Walks,
passed balls, plus they have a deep
backstop, so it was tough there. Just
different things like that. Hobson
gave us a good outing, but it was as
far as he can go.”
Gilbert had trouble getting the
third out and left with the bases loaded in that fateful third inning for a
battery switch. Matt Nelson came on
and went on to walk the next batter
and an error brought in the final two
runs to put an end to the contest.
In that inning, West Fork worked
four walks and was hit with a pitch.
“As the game went on we did a
better job of adjusting to their pitcher
and pitches,” Thompson said. “We
were a little more patient at the plate,
we sat back a little more and helped
get contact, so that was a positive to
see our kids were aggressive as the
game went on as well.”
Emhoff, West Fork’s starting
pitcher, struck out six Indian batters, but ran into a little trouble in the
fifth to be lifted for Fleshner after he
left the bases loaded with the only
Clarksville run on an RBI single by
Jordan Myers.
“His pitch count got up a little high
– we had a certain count we were going to use – so then Rylan came in
and did a good job of pitching for us,”
Thompson said. “Last two times he’s
come in he’s done a good job in relief
for us.”
Clarksville left a total of seven
base runners throughout – four in the
first three innings alone.
“We got guys on with walks and a
few singles, Pacen had a pretty good
hit, but they had a good pitcher going; a good team, good defensively,”
Bergman said. “It’s tough to advance
guys like that. I knew it would be a
tough game just looking at their prior
results, they’ve been putting beatings
on a couple teams bigger than us.
“We haven’t done a very good job
of that all week, just leaving guys on.
Like against Riceville (Wednesday)
night. Something we have to improve
on, for sure.”

Green Devils right away for a sevenrun opening inning and never looked
back in a 12-0, five-inning victory
that improved them to 5-1 overall,
3-1 in the Top of Iowa (East) Confer-
ence.
Zeitler, who struck out six and
walked none, helped out his own
cause by going 3-for-4 at the plate,
including a double, three RBI and
scored a run.
He had plenty of help as coach
Lance Thompson’s team combined
for 10 hits with a pair of hits for Rylan Fleshner and Zach Laudner. Clay
Emhoff also hit a run-scoring triple.

BY KRISTI NIXON
SHEFFIELD – Saying that West
Fork’s baseball team played well in
all areas of the game during its Saturday home tournament is an understatement.
The Warhawks ran their record to
8-1 with a 12-2 opener over AGWSR
in six innings and then closed out the
literally steaming-hot day with an
18-0 drubbing of Belmond-Klemme
in four.
“First thing, the two pitchers that
we had throwing today did a great job
throwing strikes,” West Fork Coach
Lance Thompson said. “Defense did a
good job behind. I’m not sure if we had
any errors or not, but they were solid
behind the pitching. It gives the pitchers so much more confidence.”
Surprisingly, West Fork had a
pair of errors in the second inning
in the rout of the Broncos, but those
came to naught as Lukas Wogen
picked the first runner off of first
and then, after giving up a hit with
two outs, got the B-K No. 8 hitter to
fly out to center.
With 10 hits against the Broncos
and 15 in the opener against the Cougars, all but one of the Warhawks’
starting lineup had at least one hit
throughout the day. All of them
reached base, however.
“Offensively, we had guys who
hadn’t been hitting finally started
clicking a little bit and putting the
bat on the ball,” Thompson said. “It’s
fun to see.”
Caleb Cameron four-hit the Cougars, walking three in the two-run
sixth before West Fork answered
with three runs in the bottom half of
the inning to put an early end to the
game.
West Fork began with a five-run
opening inning as it batted around.
It wouldn’t be the last time it did so
that day.
“We didn’t play heads up that
game,” AGWSR coach Dar win
Pfaltzgraff said. “The first inning
we gave them too many easy pitches
to hit. They are a good hitting team
and always have been. Lance does

SHEFFIELD – West Fork’s Lexi
Jones was blissfully unaware that her
team’s opponent was ranked in Class
3A on Tuesday, June 7.
She proceeded to hit 4-for-5
against Iowa Falls-Alden, who fell
from No. 10 to No. 14 in the second
rankings that came out June 3, and
finished a triple shy of the cycle as the
Warhawks pounded both the Cadets’
pitchers in a 15-8 victory after trailing 4-0 entering the bottom of the
second.
Jones, hitting second in a lineup
that mashed 21 hits against IF-A, hit
a three-run homer, doubled twice and
was credited with an infield single
while driving in a grand total of seven
runs as West Fork improved to 3-5
overall.
IF-A fell out of the rankings last
week after the loss.
“I honestly didn’t know they were
in the rankings,” Jones said. “For us
to come back and keep our heads up
and not to get down, I’m proud of
our team and how we played tonight
and how we kept it up even when we
made mistakes and errors. I’m very
happy about not letting anything keep
us down.”
However, Jones was very aware
of her possible cycle and on her last
hit – a deep drive to center – she was
forced to slide in at second on a quick
throw back to the infield.
“Yes, I was (aware) and I was a
little upset about it,” Jones admitted,
“but I’m just happy that I got a homer
and got us up there.”
It was the second time in a few
days that the Warhawks came back
from a multiple-run deficit. They had
topped previously unbeaten Clarks-
ville on the road four days before.
“Like I said last time, I think we
really like to get down and comeback,” Dickman said. “They like to
have that goal of coming back. I think
they kept a level head and have really
been hitting the ball a lot. They did
it again tonight and I couldn’t have
been happier.
“It’s been that way all the way up
and down the lineup, so it’s kind of
nice because usually in a lineup there
is a spot that is a little weaker. We’ve
done a very good job all the way
through.”
And IF-A looked like it came
ready to blow the ball into the water –
literally – hitting two home runs into
the creek that surrounds the Sheffield
diamond.
Eighth grade pitcher Rachael Hubka overcame that, however, as she
struck out six and walked four against
a Cadet team that made plenty of contact with the ball.
“I didn’t expect the first hitter to
hit a home run, so I think that was
a little bit of a shocker right away,”
Dickman said. “But she (Hubka)
came back and pitched a heck of a
game. That’s a hard thing to overcome being an eighth-grader and you
can’t give her enough props.
“I think she has given our girls a
little bit of poise with a few girls who
can put it over, we’ve done phenomenal.”
Maddison Shupe started the second inning in a two-out rally with a
hit to left and that started six straight
hits for the Warhawks, including the
first double by Jones, an error on a
ball hit by Kaitlyn Liekweg and the
second single of the inning by Shupe
before the second came to a close on
a ground out.
By the time the inning was over,
West Fork had the lead for good.
IF-A kept coming back, finishing
with nine hits and forcing the Warhawks into four errors to continue
to put the pressure on, but West Fork
kept adding on, also.
In fact, West loaded the bases with
one out in the sixth, but it ended on a
line-out double play.
Dickman said that Jones has come
on with her ability to hit.
“I was very proud of her – she’s
come a long way since the beginning
of the season,” Dickman said “She’s
one of our best hitters and I trust her.
“I think with her it’s confidence.
At first it is getting a few bumps to
get the ball touched a little bit. When
she hits the ball and sees it, she’s phenomenal.”
Jones attributes it to practice
makes perfect.
“A lot of practice,” Jones said.
“When we have practice coach is always on us about how we approach
our swing to level out and to put all of
our weight on our back and it’s helped
me out a lot this year.”
