Happy Father's Day to my father Bill Franey and all of the other fathers out there. The tournament that bears his name.....The Bill Franey Open will be held on August 24th just South of Jefferson on the fairways and greens.
A 3 to 2 vote from the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission on Thursday morning has paved the way for a new casino on the NW corner of Highway 30 and Highway 4 just North of Jefferson. This publisher is extremely proud to have been born and raised in Greene County and thinks that everyone in Greene County who worked on this effort did a great job. Gary Kirke of Wild Rose Entertainment is a friend of many of us from Carroll and is truly one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. Thanks for investing in Greene County Gary!
Carpet One pulled the carpet out from under your Bud Light team in week 9 and handed them the worst loss in franchise history. Team captain Colin Bierl led the carpets in their 10 to 0 beat down. Bierl was awarded low net golfer and the team was the low net team. Steve Sinnard suffered his second loss in a row to the red hot Bierl. Brad Hempstead beat long time subscriber, top local amateur, highly successful and more veteran golfer Craig Mertz scratch on his way to victory. Easy Ed Vanderheiden beat last week’s Uncle Bruce Player of the Week Steve “Hans” Auen. Easy Ed drained a birdie putt from off the green on 17 that knocked the beer guy down. Jon Sturm beat Captain Mike Franey. There were a lot of high fives in the clubhouse after league play as Supper League participants enjoyed seeing America’s team fall. Bierl’s uncle Randall Road Randy Bierl said “I am so happy for Colin and the Carpet One team. This really puts them in the mix to make a run for the Supper League Championship.” Bierl’s father Todd Bierl was unavailable for comment as he was tending to his chicken heard at Carroll’s premier reception headquarters, Greasewood Flats. In a phone interview with this publisher Bud Two Troy Auen was literally speechless about the outcome of the week 9 action. Bud Light team member Steve Sinnard said “The fall from greatness has just hit the bottom and now we have nowhere to go but up.” Mike Schulz who is currently on the disabled list could not believe the outcome and plans to be back in action for week 10. Schulz suffered a major back injury along with a pulled rib trying to pull a large crappie out of Swan Lake. On the lake reporters have told this report that this was the fish that caused Schulz all of the problem. As you can due to the injuries Schulz was unable to land the fish. The fisherman below successfully landed the fish and plans to give it to Schulz for Christmas to ease the pain of his injuries and the one that got away.
League leading Volquartsen Custom slipped by Verizon Wireless 6 to 4. Head shooter Nic Volquartsen and the newlywed Kyle Atkinson were with over Pat Macke and Kyle Christensen. Espn Sports reports this morning that Verizon Wireless is seeking a trade for Christensen who has scored only one victory in the nine week campaign. Good luck on that one.
This report would like to congratulate Piper and Kyle on their union and best of luck in the future.
There is a log jam for second in the Phil Mickelson's division. Graddy's Salsa's beat Carroll Glass 6 to 4 to move into a tie for second. Rick Grote the only winner for the tomato team beating 2014 Realy For Life Chairman Jon Heim. Don't forget the Relay for Life is next Friday at the Carroll Stadium. Dr. Decay Nick Fangman and Mike Loehr tied Lidderdale Country Store's head chef Brad Stork and Keith Pottebaum. Nick Schon was the only winner for the glass company.
The Mid Iowa Team stumbled in week 9 and lost to Family Specialty Center. Reports of family favors have surfaced as Brad Pick squared off against father Papa Joe Pick. On course reporters witnessed the younger Pick being quite generous with putts of the elder Pick who obviously applied some fatherly pressure. Papa Joe nailed the longest putt on 18 or did he?
As long as when you lay your head down on the pillow at night you can sleep Mr. Pick. Pick and playing partner Steve "Cuda" Quandt have come under fire for parking lot violations as you can see that the junkyard dog was saving a parking spot close to the clubhouse for his partner. Club President Matt Lujano was outraged by their actions and will seek the appropriate punishment. Chemical Dirk Glynn and Aaron Pick beat Quandt and the playing pride of Willey Iowa Paul Tigges. Papa Joe Pick scored a conversely over Brad Pick while Cathish Ed Tomka beat Mortgage Man Ryan Milligan. Both of these teams are part of the three way tie for second.
Fleggard got their Tuesday's mixed up and were no shows. Wittrock Motors took full advantage and scored their first victory of the season. New report subscribers Travis Aye and Brock Jones notched victories in the win. Tony Pietig shared low gross honors with Brad Hempstead with even pars 34 on the back nine.
The action was totally lopsided over in the Zach Johnson division where there were two shout outs and three 9 to 1 victories. Champion Ford jumped Ag Venture and moved into first place with a 10 to 0 shut out of Byronz Boys. Wade Wilke was the low shooter for the motor company.
Ag Venture moved into second as Chico and the oil jobbers of Community Oil pounded the first place team. Jazzy Jerry Janson, the head oil jobber Chico Kanne and first assistant to the head guy Todd Kanne beat Brady "Brody" Evans, Charlie Vaubel and Dr. Neal Cross. Team Captain Denny Kaperbauer was the only winner beating Matt Gute. Todd Kanne shot a one over par 38 on the front nine to grab the low gross and low net honors. Community Oil was the low net team. Chico has them rolling now!
Budweiser pounded the Highway 30 Car Wash 9 to 1. Counter top Pat Malloy, Tom Farner and Fred Dolezal were all winners beating Randall Road Randy Bierl, former Papa
Joe Classic Jeff Minnich and Car wash Todd Pettitt. The shot put legend Joel Harris was the only blemish for the King of Beers with a tie. Harris was the 1961, 1962 and 1963 Iowa High School Athletic Association Shot Put Champion for the Carroll Tigers. Another tidbit about Harris is that he has not missed a Drake Relays since 1966. This report thinks that this whole blog could be written about eh life of the legend Joel Harris. More importantly for Harris was the financial gain from last night by beating Bierl and Minnch. Minnich's playing partner Randy Bierl was upset about the loss and announced that he will be paying

| Harris was all smiles during the collection process! Minnich not so much! |
Counter top Pat Malloy in carpet squares.
Supper League's most mature team Stiff Sticks blanked Linde Equipment. Rich Hartley, Fairway Frank Comito, Floridian Randy Hockom and Doc Sporrer all notched victories. Bud One Jim Auen was not in action in week 9 as he was in Washington D.C. having lunch with the President.
Carroll Cycle Center walked right through the alarm system of Feld Security 9 to 1. Head Hog Terry Ruchti, Jamming Joe Hinners, and Jay Drees all scored victories. The only point for the alarms was a subbing Tom Duff who tied Tom Drees. League documents show that Jamming Joe Hinners was closest to the pin on #8 and #17 and this publisher can not explain that one.
Uncle Bruce Player of the Week is Colin Bierl! Bierl led a carving of your Bud Light Team and was awarded low net player.
After 63 years from behind the microphone Neil Trobak is retiring from Carroll Broadcasting. Stop by Carroll Broadcasting on Friday from 8:30 to 10 to wish Neil well. A true legend of broadcasting. His golden voice has blessed the air ways for over 6 decades. Thanks Neil for that you have done for the Carroll area.

Other things of interest.................
- Scott Quandt won the Sac City Open Championship on Sunday. Quandt was also awarded the $500 bonus for finishing the tournament under par. Tom Duff missed the cut and won the first flight.
- Fred and Claudia Dolezal visited the winner's circle on Friday night to take the winner's picture with their horse Be My Honey Comb at the Prairie Meadows.
- It is true that John Dukes turned 40 in early June and it did not take long for his mind to start slipping. In a Father's Day round of golf at the Ames Golf and Country where Dukes is a new member Dukes explained to me that he did not like the first hole because it was impossible for him to get a par. What Dukes finally realized was the starting hole was a par 5 not a par 4.
