Fire destroys Macksburg home this morning

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

MACKSBURG — A fire completely destroyed a farm house in Madison County this morning.

The fire started around 4:15 a.m. at the home of Tom and Lisa Bridge, 1284 310th Street in Macksburg. The couple was in bed and awoke to a smoke alarm sounding.

Tom said the smoke in the bedroom was heavy and they didn’t have much time to escape. Tom climbed out the bedroom window of their

split level house and ran to a nearby shed to grab a ladder and help Lisa get to the ground safely.

“They did have working smoke alarms. There is a pretty good chance the alarms saved their lives,” said Mike Swanson, fire chief in Orient.

The couple only managed to get a basket of clothes, bag of medicine and a few miscellaneous items out of the house. Tom said they do have homeowners insurance. A family member had already called the insurance company this morning, and an adjuster is expected to come to the

property soon.

Neighbors and family were at the residence this morning offering shelter, food and replacement items.

Neither the cause of the fire nor a damage estimate were available this morning.

Swanson said the fire was limited to the house and did not damage any surrounding buildings or farm ground.

Tom was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation.

Creston, Orient, Winterset and Lorimor responded to the fire.

Lisa had lived in the house for more than 30 years.

Alicia Abbott of Creston attaches leashes to seven of the 16 dogs who attended her dog daycare Friday to go for a walk. Abbott runs Cedar Bark Doggie Daycare from her home on Cedar Street daily and charges $20 per dog per day.

Running a doggie daycare

When Alicia Abbott brought out the leashes, 16 dogs, tails wagging incessantly, crowded around her. They all appeared eager, but Abbott knew she couldn’t take everyone.

Hoops wouldn’t behave.

Teddy wouldn’t know how to go for a walk. She opt-

ed to take seven dogs, then paired them by size using couplers.

“OK, who else is tall?” she asked the group.

Fifteen minutes of attaching and untangling leashes passed. “Is everyone secure?” she asked.

“OK, let’s go!”

The clan darted out the front door, pulling Abbott behind them. The dogs tangled themselves several

times, then Winchester got loose and ran off. “They’re never this naughty!” she said.

The walk ended early, and Abbott led the dogs back to her house, where they cooled off in kiddie pools filled with water and plastic balls in her backyard. Then she brought them inside to eat homemade dog treats: crunchy strips of oven-baked chick-

en coated with dog-safe seasonings.

Cedar Bark Doggie Daycare Taking care of 16 dogs is a typical Friday for Abbott, who runs Cedar Bark Doggie Daycare out of her home at 620 N. Cedar St. It is open daily, and Abbott Please see ABBOTT, Page 2

MONETA, Va. (AP) — A television reporter and cameraman were shot to death on live television Wednesday in Virginia by a gunman described as a disgruntled station employee. As the camera fell to the ground, it captured a glimpse of the shooter, who was being chased by police.

Reporter Alison Parker was interviewing an economic development official about local tourism as eight shots rang out. She screamed, ran and could be heard saying “Oh my God,” as she too was shot. Adam Ward’s camera captured a fleeting image, including the face, of a man holding a handgun.

The station quickly switched back to a shot of the anchor back at the station, her eyes large and jaw dropping as she said, “OK, not sure what happened there. We will of course let you know as soon as we find

out what those sounds were from.”

The suspect is Vester Lee Flanagan II, 41, of Roanoke, said Becky Coyner with dispatch and records at the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office.

Law enforcement personnel were in hot pursuit, with multiple vehicles following him closely down Interstate 64 at one point, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe said.

“They’re right behind him,” he said during an appearance on WTOPFM’s “Ask the Governor” Wednesday morning.

Federal law enforcement was assisting, and federal officials said there was no indication of a connection to terrorism.

The shooting happened around 6:45 a.m. at Bridgewater Plaza in Franklin Please see SHOOTING, Page 2

Deaths John Van Vleet Orient

John Van Vleet, 67, of Orient died Sunday, Aug. 23, 2015, at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines.

Van Vleet A tribute to John will be 4 p.m Friday, Aug. 28, at the Orient United Methodist Church with Pastor Cathy Nutting officiating. Open visitation will be noon to 6 p.m. with family present 3 to 6 p.m. at the church. Burial will be in the Greenfield Cemetery at a later date. Steen Funeral Home, 101 S.E. Fourth St., in Greenfield is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences may be left at www.steenfunerals.com. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the John Van Vleet memorial fund to be established by the family at a later date.

John Van Vleet was born on May 19, 1948, the son of Horace and Velma (Ramsbottom) Van Vleet in Creston.

He was raised east of Orient and graduated from Orient-Macksburg schools in 1966. He had farmed all his life and enjoyed his cattle for nearly 40 years.

John enjoyed working on projects in his shop and had been collecting small pedal tractors, but his cows came first.

On July 7, 1985, he was united in marriage to Lin-

da Spangler who he met on a “blind date” and they had just celebrated 30 years together. She worked right along side of him for all that time. They didn’t have children, but plenty of them were entertained by their Santa and Mrs. Santa gatherings over the years.

John was a member of the Orient Methodist Church. He was Orient’s first future farmer of Iowa.

He was very involved in his community. He was chairman of Pumpkin Days for 11 years and had been an Adair County Supervisor for six years. John ran the Van Vleet and Son Hog Buying Station for many years with his mother.

John was preceded in death by his parents and mother and father-in-law, Arthur and Arlene Spangler.

John is survived by his wife, Linda Van Vleet of Orient; sisters-in-law, Terri Meyer and husband Larry of Eagle Grove and Susan Holst and husband Ron of Webster City; cousins, Cathy Garrett of Indianola, Nile Ramsbottom of Innsbrock, Mo., Terry Chadwick of Creston and Trudy Ramsbottom of Onalaska, Wis.; uncle Raymond Chadwick of Creston; many other aunts and uncles, cousins and many, many friends and neighbors.

Linda is so appreciative of the outpouring support and love that has been given to her at this time by her family, community, friends, neighbors and church members and wishes to thank everyone.

SHOOTING: Continued from Page 1

County, as Parker interviewed Vicki Gardner about the upcoming 50th anniversary festivities for Smith Mountain Lake, a local tourism destination.

Gardner also was wounded.

Both the victims were romantically involved with other employees at the station, according to Parker’s boyfriend, WDBJ anchor Chris Hurst.

Parker had just turned 24.

She had just completed a special report on child abuse at the station, where she had worked as an intern. She attended James Madison University, where she was the editor of the school’s newspaper, The Breeze. According to her Facebook page, Parker spent most of her life outside Martinsville, Virginia. She was an avid kayaker and attended community theater events in her spare time.

Hurst said they hadn’t shared their relationship publicly but “were very much in love.” He said they had just moved in together and wanted to get married.

“I am numb,” he said.

Ward, 27, graduated from Virginia Tech University and was engaged to a producer at the station, Melissa Ott,

“Adam was our go-to guy. He pretty much was available to do anything that we asked.”

WDBJ spokesman

said WDBJ spokesman Mike Morgan.

“Adam was our go-to guy.

He pretty much was available to do anything that we asked,” Morgan said. “He did live shots during our morning show for several years.”

The station is based in Roanoke, Virginia, and serves the southwest and central part of the state. The shopping mall where the incident happened is just off Smith Mountain Lake in Moneta, about 25 miles southeast of Roanoke.

Police have told employees of the station to stay inside the building as long as the suspect is on the loose.

About 50 people work there, said Jeffrey Marks, the president and general manager of WDBJ-TV. “We have police protection,” Marks said.

ABBOTT: Continued from Page 1

charges $20 per dog per day.

About four years ago, Abbott began unofficially taking care of friends’ dogs when they went out of town.

Two years ago, after she was laid off at her previous job, she obtained the required license through the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and launched Cedar Bark Doggie Daycare as a business.

“I have a soft spot for dogs – they’re so sweet, kind and loving,” Abbott said. She began to tear up. “I know I can’t take them all or make everything better for them, but I would take every dog I could. I’m just so sensitive about it. I love my dogs and other people’s dogs.”

Abbott tentatively works 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., but her hours are dependent upon the needs of dog owners.

People who take their dogs to Abbott’s daycare must sign a waiver and bring paperwork showing their dogs are spayed or neutered.

Abbott has an average of 10 dogs in her house each day, three of which are her own (Walter, Winchester and Daphne), and often more than 10 dogs on weekends. The number of regularly attending dogs has grown since the daycare was first established, as longtime clients, like Phil and Judy Tyler of Creston, frequently recommend Abbott to friends and co-workers.

Day-to-day At about 5:30 a.m. each morning, Abbott takes the dogs who stayed overnight for a walk. On a good day, she can take up to 10 dogs.

“We walk every day,” she said. “Fifty above or 50 below, we walk.”

Around 7:30 a.m. is the peak time for dogs to be dropped off for the day.

Then the dogs have breakfast. Abbott has the owners bring their own food so the dogs eat what they’re used to.

“In the summer after breakfast, we wait 30 minutes because we don’t want cramps, then they get in the pool or I turn the sprinklers on, and they run through them,” she said.

Then it’s time for lunch.

Abbott offers food to the dogs at breakfast, lunch and dinnertime unless otherwise

specified by the owners. After lunch, she takes them for a second walk at 1:30 p.m.

The rest of the day is up in the air.

Entertaining the “kids” Abbott doesn’t see much of a difference between child daycare and dog daycare. She even calls the dogs “kids” or “little people.” So, it’s no surprise she works hard to entertain them all day.

“I don’t have kids – well, they’re my kids,” Abbott said. “They’re so spoiled.”

Sometimes, she reads to them. She also lets the dogs dip their paws in dog-safe paint and make a collage of paw prints on paper.

Bob and Pam McKee of Creston take their dogs Bogie, a Chinese Crested, and Jack, a long-haired Chihuahua, to the daycare and enjoy the types of activities Abbott does with the dogs.

“The projects are awesome,” Pam said. “She also sends us pictures the whole time we’re gone, so she keeps us well informed.”

Abbott especially likes giving these “pawjects” to children when they come with their parents to pick up their dog.

“The kids will ask if their dog made the pawject, and I tell them, ‘Yes, he did, and these are the scissors he used to cut the bone!’” Abbott said. “They love it because they miss their dogs, and I want them to know their dogs had fun.”

OPINION

Passing the torch: from Julian Bond to Black Lives Matter Civil-rights pioneer Julian Bond died this week at the age of 75. In 1960, as a student at the historically black Morehouse College in Atlanta, Bond led nonviolent protests against racially segregated facilities like restaurants, movie theaters and parks. He co-founded SNCC, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and spent years organizing and registering African-Americans to vote in the Deep South. In 1965, he was elected to the Georgia state Legislature, where legislators blocked him from being sworn in because of his opposition to the war in Vietnam. It took a U.S. Supreme Court decision to get him seated.

Julian Bond was a lifelong activist. He spoke out early for marriage equality and got arrested in front of the White House while protesting the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. He supported the Black Lives Matter movement as well.

Black Lives Matter was founded after a Florida jury acquitted George Zimmerman in the murder of Trayvon Martin. The movement mushroomed in the wake of the police killing of Michael Brown one year ago in Ferguson, Missouri, and has grown to more

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

than 20 chapters nationally. Black Lives Matter is making waves on the presidential campaign trail, as activists disrupt events and demand that the candidates address the issues at the core of their movement. At one recent Hillary Clinton campaign event in Keene, New Hampshire, four Black Lives Matter activists were denied entry to the venue.

“We went to New Hampshire with the intention of confronting Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately, when we got there, we were told that we couldn’t come inside,” Daunasia Yancey, founder of the Black Lives Matter chapter in Boston, told us on the “Democracy Now!” news hour. CNN reporter Dan Merica had tweeted about their exclusion, which he was told was due to the room being at capacity. After that, Yancey explained: “Someone came out and invited us into an overflow room, where we could actually watch the

forum. And then, one of her staffers came in and said, ‘We could offer you a couple of minutes with her.’ And we said, ‘Absolutely,’ so that we could ask her the questions that we had.”

To say the least, candidates running for president are hard to reach, unless you are a large campaign donor. The candidates’ public appearances are closely stage-managed. At campaign events in key primary states, however, where the candidates stump day in and day out, they sometimes have no choice but to speak with prospective voters. Black Lives Matter activists have been using these moments to challenge business as usual, bringing the issues of racism and inequality to a broad audience.

Yancey asked Clinton: “You and your family have been personally and politically responsible for policies that have caused health and human services disasters in impoverished communities of color through the domestic and international war on drugs that you championed as first lady, senator and secretary of state. And so I just want to know how you feel about your role in that violence and how you plan to reverse it?”

Julius Jones, from the Black Lives Matter movement in Worcester, Massachusetts, also questioned Clinton: “How do you actually feel that’s different than you did before? What were the mistakes?

And how can those mistakes that you made be lessons for all of America for a moment of reflection on how we treat black people in this country?”

Clinton responded: “I don’t believe you change hearts. I believe you change laws, you change allocation of resources, you change the way systems operate.”

Black Lives Matter has confronted other candidates at their speaking events, including Democrats Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley, and Republican Jeb Bush. The campaign disruptions will continue, organizers say.

Their website states: “We have put our sweat equity and love for Black people into creating a political project: taking the hashtag off of social media and into the streets. The call for Black lives to matter is a rallying cry for ALL Black lives striving for liberation.”

Back in 2013, standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, Julian Bond spoke at the 50th anniversary of the March on Washing-

ton. His words there, spoken two months after George Zimmerman’s acquittal, bear remembering as the movement for justice grows in ways we can’t predict: “We march because Trayvon Martin has joined Emmett Till in the pantheon of young black martyrs. We march because the United States Supreme Court has eviscerated the Voting Rights Act, for which we fought and died. We march because every economic indicator shows gaping white-black disparities. We march for freedom from white supremacy. But still we have work to do.

None of it is easy, but we have never wished our way to freedom; instead, we have always worked our way.” *** Amy Goodman is the host of “Democracy Now!,” a daily international TV/radio news hour airing on more than 1,300 stations.

She is the co-author, with Denis Moynihan, of “The Silenced Majority,” a New York Times best-seller. (c) 2015 Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan Distributed by King Features Syndicate

President Obama may endorse Joe Biden for president Topical humor Argus Hamilton

end of the day’s disaster, some of the biggest traders on Wall Street went onto the Ashley Madison website and didn’t care who knew about it.

Joe Biden met with Elizabeth Warren to discuss him running as a one-term president and her as his VP and heir. Democrats are desperate. Until recently, Joe was a national joke and Elizabeth was a fake Indian, but after four months of Hillary Clinton’s campaign they look like Franklin and Eleanor.

The White House hinted President Obama may endorse Joe Biden for president Monday while Joe invited liberal donors to his home after Labor Day. It’s all unfolding. The prospect of a contest between Biden and Trump is wonderful for public debate, voter interest and comedians with mortgages.

Hillary Clinton ended her vacation early to hit the campaign trail as President Obama and Joe Biden conspired against her. The only

thing that can rescue her poll numbers now is a sympathy bounce if Bill Clinton is caught cheating on her. He doesn’t want to do it, but he’ll do it for his country.

Ashley Madison website for adulterers was hit by hackers Tuesday who revealed the names and credit card transactions of forty-two million adulterers. This could just be the start. GOP candidate Chris Christie is terrified that his wife is going to find out how much money he spent at Dolly Madison.

Hollywood Boulevard movie theaters followed the lead of Regent Theaters Friday and increased their building security due to the recent crime wave. Just last week one theater was robbed of five hundred dollars. The thief failed to pay for a large box of popcorn, a medium Coke and a box of Milk Duds.

New York had a parade of topless women marching down Broadway Sunday who demanded the equal right to bare their breasts in public. They drew a huge crowd.

It sounds like the competition to be named Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate has just moved passed the swimsuit stage.

Microwave mistake?

Dear Heloise: Can you tell me if heating up leftover foods in the microwave in those INSULATED FOAM CONTAINERS is dangerous to one’s health? — Shirley G., Mount Vernon, Mo. Yes, it just might be harmful to one’s health, so why take a chance? All of the government agencies and experts I checked with say no, don’t reheat foods in a takeout foam container. The container is really meant only to carry food home, NOT to be used to reheat it in. There are too many unknowns. Think about the science: When heated (or reheated) in a microwave, all of the microwaves are bouncing around like pinballs! If the food is liquidy, it’s even more of a question. Who knows what may leach out of the foam and be transferred to the food? Put the food on a paper plate to reheat — still no cleanup! — Heloise DRYER SHEET Dear Heloise: I use half a dryer sheet and a squirt of dishwashing soap to clean cooked, barbecued or bakedon food. Run some hot water into the container, wait three to five minutes and use the dryer sheet as a dishcloth. — Marg S. in North Dakota Marg, glad this worked for you. I’ve tested it and really

Hints from Heloise did not see much difference.

I guess the theory is that the “fabric softener” will soften the gunk!

Readers? Has this hint worked for you? Let me know, and I’ll print the results of this unofficial HELOISE SURVEY. — Heloise DISHWASHER BASKET Dear Heloise: I recently solved a problem with the tips of sharp knives and steak knives extending through the holes of the silverware basket in my dishwasher.

I found the interior perforated lid (about 2 inches across) from a large spice bottle and inserted it into one section of the silverware basket. I trimmed one side to fit.

I put sharp knives in that section and insert the points into the small holes in the lid. This keeps the knives in place, and water still can drain through the silverware basket.

Although there are ways to install spice drawers inside a drawer, they don’t hold enough. I converted a kitchen drawer for spices and have a new, convenient way to locate and store them.

I store them upright and label the lids. I easily can store all of my spices in one drawer, and can find them without any trouble. Long gone are my days of searching through my cabinet and then accidentally repurchasing a spice that I already had.

Horoscope Thursday, Aug. 27, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) For the next month, old partners and friends from the past will be back in your life.

It’s good to have history with someone.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You will be attentive to details at work in the next month. Finish what you can now, because from mid-September until mid-October, your efficiency will slip.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Old flames will be back in your life in September. Hopefully, this will not cause a problem with whatever you have going now.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The next two months are a good time to do repairs at home and fix up what needs attention. It’s also a good time for a family reunion.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) In the next two months, expect delays to transportation and goofy errors in your communications with others. This will be most prominent in September.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Keep an eye on your finances, because Mercury will be retrograde in September. The upside is that you can finish old business.

The downside is that checks in the mail will be late.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Mercury will be in your sign for the next two months, and it will be retrograde. This will attract people from the past back into your world.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your ability to discover secrets and do research will be excellent in the next two months.

Fortunately, you can keep a secret when you want to.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Friends from the past will come out of the woodwork in the next few weeks. You can count on this. It’s an opportunity to trade lies and discuss the bad old days.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) If you want to make a pitch to your boss, do it in the next week, because after that, it will be too late. For most of September, you will be wrapping up old business.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel delays are likely in September. However, this same influence can help you

to finish writing something or finish an important paper. You win some; you lose some.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You will be surprised how efficient you will be in the next month at wrapping up red-tape details regarding inheritances, taxes, debt and bills. Get as much done as possible.

YOU BORN TODAY You are concerned about society and the welfare of others. You are caring and altruistic. It’s

important to you to feel needed. Go slowly this year. There is something important to learn. The first half of this year will seem slow, but soon, your efforts of the past six years will start to show results! Get out into nature this year.

Vick signs PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed veteran quarterback Michael Vick, the team announced Tuesday, after an injury to backup Bruce Gradkowski.

Gradkowski suffered a dislocated finger during last weekend’s preseason game. The team, needing a safety net for starting signal caller Ben Roethlisberger, reached out to Vick. The two sides agreed to a deal Tuesday.

Vick played for the New York Jets last season, starting three games and going 1-2. He passed for three touchdowns and threw two interceptions.

Cowboy hurt DALLAS (AP) — Dallas cornerback Orlando Scandrick is reportedly out for the season after tearing two ligaments in his right knee.

Scandrick was injured in practice at training camp Tuesday in Oxnard, Calif. Video showed his leg bending awkwardly under rookie receiver Lucky Whitehead.

A source told The Associated Press that Scandrick tore the anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in the knee. He will have surgery. Secondary coach Jerome Henderson said Scandrick told him right after the injury, “It’s my ACL. I know it. It’s gone.”

The eighth-year player has 48 starts among his 102 games, with a career-high two interceptions each of the past two seasons.

The Iowa Association of Track Coaches’ preseason individual cross country ratings released Tuesday include six area runners, including four from Nodaway Valley’s “Black Plague.”

The preseason rankings are based on runners returning from last year’s State Cross Country Meet.

Creston senior Cooper McDermott, who placed 13th in the Class 3A boys race at last November’s State C r o s s C o u n try Meet, McDermott starts the season ranked fourth in Class 3A. McDermott will square off against several other ranked runners in Creston’s season opener on Sept. 1 at Dallas Center-Grimes.

Class 4A 13th-ranked Michael Westphal of Urbandale will be in the field, along with a host of ranked runners from Dallas Center-Grimes’ third-ranked team.

Ranked runners from DC-G are Alex Thompson

(eighth), Nick Smith (17th) and Blake Schaben (18th).

In Class 1A, Nodaway Valley’s top-ranked “Black Plague” has four runners ranked in the top 30, led by junior Shane Breheny, who starts Breheny the season ranked third.

Sophomore Brycen Wallace comes in at 16th, followed by senior Nate Venteicher in Wallace 24th and junior Brayten Funke in 28th.

In the Class 1A girls rankings, East U n i o n junior E m m a Harper starts the Harper season ranked 22nd.

Coach apologizes LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California coach Steve Sarkisian publicly apologized Tuesday for his drunken appearance at a team rally last weekend, attributing his slurred, profane speech to a combination of alcohol and medication.

Sarkisian plans to seek unspecified treatment, but the second-year Trojans coach doesn’t believe he has a drinking problem.

“I was not right, and I think the moral of the story is this: When you mix meds with alcohol, sometimes you say things and/or do things that you regret, and I regret it,” Sarkisian said. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for all of our fans and donors.”

Tweet trouble SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — ESPN removed Curt Schilling from its broadcast team for the Little League World Series on Tuesday because of an anti-Muslim tweet.

Schilling retweeted a post that said, “Only 5-10% of Muslims are extremists. In 1940, only 7% of Germans were Nazis.

How’d that go?” The post was soon removed from his Twitter feed.

The network said the tweet was unacceptable and that it “made that point very strongly to Curt.” ESPN said Schilling was removed from the Little League World Series assignment “pending further consideration.”

Schilling accepted the punishment, saying in a statement: “Bad choices have bad consequences and this was a bad decision in every way on my part.”

Martin Kaymer loses PGA Tour membership for the year

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

EDISON, New Jersey (AP) — As golf has become more global and the wealth of the PGA Tour has made it the premier destination, there has been grumbling over the years that it has become easier for international players to earn a PGA Tour card through world rankings that get them into

the biggest events.

This year shows another side to that equation.

The penalty for not meeting membership requirements is far stiffer than it is for Americans.

Martin Kaymer of Germany, a two-time major champion and former No. 1 player in the world, joined the PGA Tour in 2013. As a European, he is entitled to the “home circuit” pol-

icy that allows him to play unlimited European Tour events. However, he is required to play a minimum of 15 events on the PGA Tour.

K a y mer built the FedEx Cup playoffs into his worldwide schedule, had a poor Kaymer

year by his standards and ran into a big problem — he failed to qualify for the playoffs, and wound up playing only 13 times.

The penalty is Kaymer forfeits his PGA Tour membership for next season.

Even if he were to win next year, he could not rejoin the tour until the 2016-17 season. He cannot compete in the FedEx Cup next year and he is allowed to play

no more than 12 PGA Tour events (including majors and World Golf Championships).

And then there’s Steve Stricker, who entered into semi-retirement a year ago.

Stricker played only nine events this year (he was not eligible for the World Please see PGA, page 9A

PGA: Continued from page 7A

Golf Championships or two majors) and finished at No. 176 in the FedEx Cup. He also is required to play a minimum 15 times to keep his membership, but in his case, that only means he can’t vote on tour issues (player advisory council, awards). But he would be eligible for the FedEx Cup next year.

The difference? Stricker didn’t activate the “home circuit” policy because the PGA Tour is his home.

If Ameri- Stricker cans want to play overseas (Rickie Fowler at the Scottish Open, for example), they must get a “conflicting event release” from the PGA Tour. The guideline is three releases for every 15 tour events played.

Kaymer isn’t alone in this predicament.

Victor Dubuisson of France also took up PGA Tour membership. He played only 10 times on the PGA Tour and finished No. 190 in the FedEx Cup. Because he claimed

the home circuit policy, he will not be eligible for the FedEx Cup next year. ___ MONEY & POINTS: Charlie Beljan didn’t qualify for FedEx Cup playoffs for the second straight year and managed to keep his card.

There’s a difference between FedEx points and PGA Tour earnings, and it has saved him. Beljan finished in the top 10 only once this year; He was third at the AT&T Pebble Beach National ProAm, which had a $6.8 million purse. Beljan earned $462,400 that week, which was 59 percent of his season earnings. So while he finished at No. 149 in the FedEx Cup, he wound up at No. 118 on the money list, enough to keep his full PGA Tour card for next year.

Points are evenly distributed at all PGA Tour events, with a slight bump for the World Golf Championships and another for the majors. Prize money varies at tournaments, from the $6.8 million at Pebble Beach and $10 million at the majors to $5.4 million for the Wyndham Championship and $4.7 million for the John Deere

Classic.

The PGA Tour kept the top 125 on the money list as part of its criteria when it shifted to the wraparound season and said it would evaluate whether to keep it. So far, the policy board has decided to keep it.

That’s good news for Beljan, Will MacKenzie, Jamie Donaldson, Whee Kim and David Toms.

They all finished in the top 125 on the money list and failed to make the playoffs.

Kaymer also was in the top 125, though he didn’t meet his minimum requirement of 15 starts. Scott Stallings, serving a three-month suspension for violating the anti-doping policy, also was in the top 125 but he already was exempt for next year from his 2014 win at Torrey Pines.

Seven players who reached the top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings were outside the top 125 on the money list — Vijay Singh, Jonas Blixt, Erik Compton, John Huh, Stewart Cink, Spencer Levin, Camilo Villegas and Jeff Overton.

Overton is No. 125 in the FedEx Cup. He was No. 154 on the money list.

William McGirt was safe

either way, though he had the greatest discrepancy — No. 74 in the FedEx Cup, No. 114 on the money list. ___ NEW TO THE ROTATION: The Barclays already has been held at five golf courses since the FedEx Cup began. It’s about to get another.

The PGA Tour announced Tuesday that Glen Oaks Club on Long Island will host the opening FedEx Cup event in 2017. The course was designed by Joe Finer and opened in 1971. It was named club of the year in 2015 by the Metropolitan Golf Writers Association.

That means The Barclays will be held at five courses over the next five years — Bethpage Black in 2016, Glen Oaks in 2017, Ridgewood in 2018, Liberty National in 2019 and Plainfield in 2020. ___ ANIRBAN LAHIRI: Anirban Lahiri of India tied for fifth at the PGA Championship, though his bogey on the final hole at Whistling Straits proved costly. It ultimately was worth $72,500, the difference in getting a PGA Tour card for next year.

Lahiri finished with

$712,794 in non-member earnings, which was the equivalent of No. 128 on the money list. Had he been in the top 125, he would have earned a card.

Even with a tie for fifth at the P G A Championship, he was not eligible for the Wyndham C h a m - Lahiri pionship because he was not a special temporary member and had already used up the maximum 12 exemptions on the PGA Tour.

So what’s next?

Lahiri will be eligible to take part in the Web.com Tour Finals and could try to earn his card through those four events. ___ DIVOTS: PGA Tour rookie Justin Thomas gets new shirts for his first FedEx Cup playoff event. He has signed an endorsement deal with Citigroup, which starts this week. The logo will be on his left sleeve.

Thomas is No. 36 in the FedEx Cup. ... Davis Love III at No. 613 in the world became the seventh player ranked outside the top 200

to win on the PGA Tour this season. The others were Nick Taylor (566), James Hahn (297), Padraig Harrington (297), David Lingmerth (212), Fabian Gomez (288) and J.J. Henry (426). ... Leona Maguire of Ireland won the Mark H McCormack Medal as the No. 1 female in the 2015 world amateur ranking. ... The PGA of America has selected former PGA Tour commissioner Deane Beman to receive its Distinguished Service Award.

Beman will be honored Nov. 13 during the PGA’s annual meeting in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. ___ STAT OF THE WEEK: Dating to the start of the FedEx Cup in 2007, Ernie Els made the cut in all four majors for the first time, and missed the playoffs for the first time. ___ FINAL WORD: “He’s the real deal, and he can play under pressure. He’s like Tiger. I didn’t know if we’d find somebody that could make the putts that he does and stay consistently through the pressure rounds of the majors, and he seems to have that kind of game.” — Johnny Miller on Jordan Spieth.

Royals rely on bullpen to squeak by Orioles, 3-2

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Eric Hosmer rolled a grounder toward first base in the third inning with the score tied, and Lorenzo Cain put on the brakes — a heads-up play that may have won the Royals the game.

Cain hesitated just long enough between first and second base that Baltimore was unable to turn a double play. He later scored on a single by Mike Moustakas, and the Royals went on to a 3-2 victory Tuesday night that pushed their winning streak to four games.

“Just kind of hesitated and didn’t let him tag me,” Cain said. “It ended up being the winning run, so I guess it was a good one to have.”

Kendrys Morales hit a solo homer and Hosmer also drove in a run for the Royals, who improved to 44-20 at home this s e a s o n , Hosmer including 12-2 in their current stretch.

Danny Duffy (7-6) dodged trouble for most of 5 2-3 innings, allowing two runs on five hits and

two walks. The left-hander struck out five in a start that began in crisp efficiency and ended with the Orioles threatening to pull ahead in the sixth inning.

Luke Hochevar calmed things down with an inning of relief, though. Kelvin Herrera had no trouble with the rest of the seventh and eighth, and Wade Davis pitched a perfect ninth in place of closer Greg Holland to earn his 12th save.

“They did an awesome job,” Royals manager Ned Yost said of his bullpen.

“It’s what they do.”

Miguel Gonzalez (9-10) allowed all three runs on six hits and three walks in 4 1-3 innings, the latest in a string of lousy starts for Baltimore. Gonzalez is 0-4 in his last six tries.

Leadoff hitter Manny Machado went 0 for 5 with three strikeouts, his last ending the game.

The Orioles (62-63) have lost a season-high six straight, falling below .500 for the first time since they were 48-49 on July 26.

The calamitous slump has also damaged their playoff hopes — they began the night 2 1/2 games back of Texas for the final AL wild-card spot.

“Always takes a little bit of everything,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “Everybody wants to throw one big circle around one thing. It’s a lot of things. A lot of things.

And you can’t (borrow) from Peter to pay Paul in this game. You’ve got to do it all.”

The Royals never trailed after Morales sent a 3-2 pitch into the fountains in right field in the second inning. Hosmer added an RBI groundout in the third, and Moustakas delivered yet another twoout single by the league’s best-hitting team in such Moustakas situations to score another run.

The Orioles got two runs back in the fourth when Matt Wieters drew a two-out walk and Steve Pearce, Jonathan Schoop and Caleb Joseph strung

together a trio of singles.

But Duffy managed to get recently called up Paul Janish to ground out to end the threat.

Duffy was in trouble again in the sixth, but Hochevar got Joseph to fly out to deep right field to leave runners on second Hochevar and third and preserve the 3-2 lead.

It was up to one of the best bullpens in the majors to take care of the rest.

“We’ve just got to figure out a way to score more runs,” Showalter said.

“That’s one of the reasons why they’re sitting where they are, is they don’t give up many. They’re taking people out of the rotation that would be in a lot of people’s, so it kind of gives you an idea one of the reasons why they’re good.”

EVEN NED Yost managed his 900th

game with the Royals. He is now 450-450. “I guess it’s cool,” he said, pointing out that at one point he was 53 games under .500.

“The last two years we’ve won a bunch of baseball games with a really good group of guys.”

TRAINER’S ROOM Orioles: C Steve Clevenger went on the threeday paternity list to attend the birth of his daughter.

Peyton Lee was born Tuesday afternoon.

Royals: Yost said there is still no timetable for OF Alex Gordon to return from his rehab stint at Triple-A Omaha. Gordon had been out with a groin injury.

UP NEXT Orioles: LHP Wei-Yin Chen tries to keep his unbeaten streak intact Wednesday night. He is 3-0 with three no-decisions since July 21.

Royals: RHP Johnny Cueto makes his sixth start since being traded to Kansas City. He is 2-2 with a 3.00 ERA since leaving the

Man convicted of murder in 2013 death of woman shot in 2011 COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — A 54-year-old Iowa man has been convicted in the April 2013 death of a woman he shot nearly two years earlier.

The Daily Nonpareil reports (http://bit.ly/1Kk5a2l ) that a Pottawattamie County jury found Craig Finney guilty on Tuesday of second-degree murder.

He was convicted of shooting 48-year-old Patricia Harker, his former girlfriend, on June 17, 2011, during an incident at Harker’s home in Minden.

She survived, and Finney later pleaded guilty to attempted murder. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Harker died on April 25, 2013. Prosecutors then filed first-degree murder charges against Finney, saying Harker died from complications caused by the gunshot wound.

The jury convicted Finney on the lesser charge of second-degree murder. He faces up to 50 years in prison when he’s sentenced on Oct. 6.

Creston Library Board of Trustees seeks input

CNA photo by IAN RICHARDSON

First-day smiles: Grinning sixth-grader Elsa Synacek steps off the school bus for her first day of the new semester.

The Creston Library Board of Trustees is holding a meeting at the Gibson Memorial Library 5:15 p.m.

Monday, Aug. 31 to gather input from Creston: Arts and other Union County arts organizations on the development of the expanded library and cultural center.

With several meeting spaces and a cultural center for the arts, the library’s proposed expansion will be able to host civic groups of all types.

Contact Gibson Memorial Library Director David Hargrove at 641-782-6507 with any questions about the event.

Classes began this morning for Creston’s 2015-2016 school year.

Judge set to sentence Colorado theater shooter to life CENTENNIAL, Colo.

(AP) — James Holmes feels remorse for his deadly attack on a Colorado movie theater, but his mental illness and medications make it hard for him to express it, his mother told a judge in an impromptu apology for the suffering he caused.

“We know that is very, very hard for people to see,” Arlene Holmes testified during her son’s final sentencing hearing. “We cannot feel the depths of your pain. We can only listen to everything you have expressed, and we pray for you... We are very sorry this tragedy happened, and sorry everyone has suffered so much.”

With her husband, Robert, by her side, she was the final witness to take the lectern Tuesday, capping a sentencing hearing where more than 100 victims and survivors testified about the searing physical and emotional scars the 2012 shooting has left.

Samour on Wednesday will formally sentence Holmes to life in prison without parole for the mur-

ders of 12 people and up to 3,318 additional years on attempted murder and an explosives conviction.

Jurors rejected Holmes’ insanity plea, convicting him of murdering 12 people and trying to kill 70 others when he opened fire on a packed theater in suburban Denver on July 20, 2012. Prosecutors have said the jury was divided on the sentence, with 11 favoring death and one favoring life without parole.

Under Colorado law, jurors must be unanimous to impose the death penalty, so Holmes automatically got a life sentence.

Defense attorney Daniel King said Tuesday Holmes will not appeal his conviction, sparing victims the possibility of another emotionally wrenching trial.

Holmes’ sentencing hearing was largely symbolic but gave scores of victims an unprecedented chance to vent their feelings to the judge. They told him of flashbacks and nightmares, of relentless survivor’s guilt and enduring physical pain.

emy Phelps said he will never forget the sounds and smells of chaos when he stepped inside the theater where bodies lay amid popcorn and spent bullet shells.

“These innocent victims were there to enjoy a movie, and one guy decided human life meant nothing,” said Aurora police Detective Craig Appel, who was among the first to interview Holmes. He and other detectives, hardened by years of investigations, still struggle to understand the massacre. “I had to think, what kind of a person could hurt so many people? Someone with no regard for human life, only for himself. It’s hard to understand.”

Victims told of friendships shattered and marriages broken. A girl who watched her 6-year-old friend die when she was just 13 couldn’t keep up her grades, her mother said. She switched schools and became known as “the girl in the theater.”

John Gerhauser, whose

friend Jonathan Blunnk was killed, called on Holmes, a once-promising neuroscience graduate student, to make something of his life in prison that could help prevent future attacks.

“If I were in charge, I’d say, this guy has to finish his Ph.D. and do something good for humanity or his death sentence will be reconsidered.”

The only person to testify on Holmes’ behalf was his mother, who said she has been researching mental illness and ways to prevent mass violence.

“I am not proud I didn’t know a lot about mental illness. We should have known our family history better and realized that the signs of mental illness can surface at an early age,” said Holmes, who previously testified that she didn’t know her son suffered schizophrenia until after the shooting. “We want to share our knowledge with those who want to speak with us.”

Lake Icaria campgrounds closing after Labor Day Lake Icaria and the Adams County conservation board announced that due to scheduled construction projects, both the Lake Icaria campgrounds and cabins will be closed after Labor Day, Sept. 8th, this year.

Construction projects will include campground renovations, new shower houses, restroom additions to cabins and a sewer line installation from the park to the city of Corning. In order to let the contractors get started, both campgrounds need to be shut down for the fall. The

board is hoping they will be up and running again by Memorial Day weekend in May 2016. Total cost of the projects will be approximately $2.8 million.

The lake, boat ramps, beach, and marina will remain open through the construction period. Any restroom or building that has a flush toilet or relies on the current sewer system will not be open. The beach concession will serve breakfast on Sunday mornings through Sept. 13. The bait house and marina will be open on weekends.
