A new music event will be held in McKinley Park Saturday.

Fun in the Son Festival will be held from 1 to 6 p.m. Saturday at the McKinley Park bandshell and features We Are Vessel, Second Chance and Sondogs.

“We’ve always talked about having something else in the summertime in the park,” said John Carter, lead guitarist for Second Chance. “Of course, we play Christian music.

We thought it might be good to have a Christian concert.”

The festival includes free admission and concessions will be available from The Little Green Trailer and the Believe Guatemala missionary group. The park benches will be set up, but those attending are encouraged to bring their own seating, as well.

We Are Vessel is a national touring modern worship Christian rock band from Waycross, Georgia. The band features Randall Broadhead on lead vocals and guitar, Jacob Gholson on guitar and vocals, Dalton Creach on bass and vocals and Austin Lane on drums.

The group, which recently opened for MercyMe and will be playing in St. Joseph, Missouri, on Friday, played at Crest Baptist Church in Creston last year for the Celebrate Recovery group.

That performance led to Fun in the Son Festival, as Dr. Chuck Hoyt got the

band’s booking information and booked the band.

Second Chance and Sondogs are both local bands, with Second Chance based out of Creston and Sondogs based out of Afton.

“OUR HOPE is that we can continue to do this annually like Party in the Park and maybe have more (bands) as it grows.”

JOHN CARTER

Second Chance guitarist

Second Chance includes John Steinbach on rhythm guitar, John Carter on lead guitar, Jennifer Hoyt on piano, Dr. Chuck Hoyt on bass, Madelyn Greene and Angie Rounds on vocals, Jim McIntosh on

harmonica and David Livingston on drums. Aaron Young works the sound booth for the band.

Sondogs features Robert Thatcher on vocals, John Thatcher on guitar and vocals, Charlie Hale on guitar, Steve Thatcher on bass and Nathaniel Thatcher on drums.

“It’s different than what we see around here a lot of the time,” Carter said.

“Our hope is that we can continue to do this annually like Party in the Park and maybe have more (bands) as it grows, that we could have some mainline Christian bands to come and perform.”

Each band will perform for about an hour, with an hour in between each set where different speakers will deliver a message about the gospel.

Carter and Steinbach hope this new festival brings people together in FESTIVAL | 2A

DES MOINES (AP) — A judge’s ruling could lead to an expansion of special-education services to thousands of Iowa students.

The Des Moines Register reports that Administrative Law Judge Christie Scase has ordered the Iowa Education Department to reimburse an Urbandale couple for private tutoring they provided after their child was denied special-education programming at school.

Scase says the department should revisit its policies on

determining who qualifies for special education.

Randy Califf is vice president of the advocacy group Decoding Dyslexia Iowa, and he says potentially thousands more Iowa students could qualify for special education if the department were to alter its eligibility rules.

The Education Department is appealing the case in U.S. District Court, seeking a declaration that its rules comply with federal law.

“The outpouring of bipartisan respect and love for John McCain as he faces this cancer battle reminds us that after all the meanness there is a human side to politicians,” said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Thursday. “Count this Democrat in John McCain’s corner.”

Rollover: A black 2002 Chevrolet pickup truck rests on its side after sliding off of Highway

25 Wednesday. The Chevrolet rolled up the hill after going into a ditch on the side of the highway. No citations were issued after the accident 2:14 p.m. on Highway 25 north of Creston.

According to a Union County Sheriff report, Amber Dawn Rink, 19, of Creston was driving a 2002 Chevrolet northbound on Highway 25 when the driver’s front passenger wheel left the pavement and went onto the gravel shoulder.

friend, a mentor and a true patriot. If anyone can tackle a challenge like this, it’s him.”

The 2008 Republican presidential nominee and Vietnam prisoner of war who has spent more than three decades in Congress was diagnosed with an aggressive type of brain cancer. The 80-year-old Arizona lawmaker has glioblastoma, according to doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, where McCain had a blood clot removed above his left eye last Friday. He and his family are considering further treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation.

“Subsequent tissue pathology revealed that a primary brain tumor known as a glioblastoma was associated with the blood clot,” his office said in a statement late Wednesday.

According to the American Brain Tumor Association, more than 12,000 people a year are diagnosed with glioblastoma, the same type of tumor that struck McCain’s close Democratic colleague in legislative battles, the late Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts. The American Cancer Society puts the five-year survival rate for patients over 55 at about 4 percent.

The senator and chairman of the Armed Services Committee had been recovering at his Arizona home.

His absence forced Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to delay action on health care legislation.

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said he spoke to McCain Wednesday evening and that McCain said: “Yeah, I’m going to have to stay here a little bit longer, take some treatments. I’ll be back.”

In a statement on Twitter, his daughter, Meghan McCain, spoke of the shock of the news and the anxiety over what happens next.

“My love for my father is boundless and like any daughter I cannot and do not wish to be in a world without him. I have faith that those days remain far away,” she said.

As word spread of his diagnosis, presidents past and present along with McCain’s current and former Senate colleagues offered support in an outpouring rarely seen in Washington.

“Senator John McCain has always been a fighter.

Melania and I send our thoughts a n d prayers to Senator McCain, Cindy, and their e n t i r e f a m i l y . Trump Get well soon,” President Donald Trump said.

Barack Obama, who dashed McCain’s dreams of the presidency, said in a tweet: “John McCain is an American hero & one of the bravest fighters

I’ve ever known.

Cancer doesn’t k n o w what it’s up against.

G i v e it hell, Obama John.”

McCain has a lifetime of near-death experiences — surviving the July 1967 fire and explosion on the USS Forrestal that killed 134 sailors; flying into power lines in Spain; the October 1967 shoot-down of his Navy aircraft and fall into Truc Bach Lake in Hanoi; and 5 1/2 years in a North Vietnamese prison.

“The Hanoi Hilton couldn’t break John McCain’s spirit many years ago, so Barbara and I know — with confidence — he and his family will meet this latest battle in his singular life of service with courage and determination,” said former President George H.W. Bush.

Politics aside, McCain and Bill Clinton developed a strong friendship, and the former president said: “As he’s shown his entire life, don’t bet against John McCain. Best wishes to him for a swift recovery.”

The junior senator from Arizona, Republican Jeff Flake, said Thursday that McCain told him about his t u m o r only at the end of a telephone conversation, say- Flake ing he was “feeling fine, but I might have some chemotherapy in my future.” Flake said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that his colleague is “optimistic, obviously. He’s John McCain. That’s what we’d expect.”

In the past, McCain had been treated for melanoma, but a primary tumor is unrelated. Doctors said McCain is recovering from his surgery “amazingly well” and his underlying health is excellent.

With his irascible grin and fighter-pilot moxie, McCain was elected to the Senate from Arizona six times, most recently last year, but twice thwarted in seeking the presidency.

An upstart presidential bid in 2000 didn’t last long. Eight years later, he fought back from the brink of defeat to win the GOP nomination, only to be overpowered by Obama. McCain chose a little-known Alaska governor as his running mate in that race, and helped turn Sarah Palin into a national political figure.

After losing to Obama in an electoral landslide, McCain returned to the Senate, determined not to be defined by a failed presidential campaign. And when Republicans took control of the Senate in 2015, McCain embraced his new job as chairman of the powerful Armed Services Committee, eager to play a big role “in defeating the forces of radical Islam that want to destroy America.”

Today is July 20, the 201th day of the year. So, there are 164 days left in 2017. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (July 17-23) in history:

10 years ago The Creston baseball team reversed the Harlan curse in big games, earning a 3-2 substate victory. After several years of frustration in playoff competition with the Cyclones, the Panthers were the ones celebrating a state tournament berth. Kyle Pals hit a home run and pitched a complete game victory for the Panthers. This was the fourth appearance by Creston at state; previous ones were 1958, 1971 and 1990.

Nicole Stoll, daughter of Arnold and Melody Stoll of Creston, was crowned 2007 Union County Fair Queen.

Other candidates were Rachel Chenoweth, daughter of Janell and Dennis Chenoweth of Afton, April Christensen, daughter of Gene and Dawn Christensen of Afton, and Stacey Strauss, daughter of Perry and Brenda Strauss of Creston.

20 years ago Sheila Young, daughter of Jerry and Susan Young of Afton, was crowned the 1997 Union County Fair queen. First runner up was Cherie White, daughter of Galen and Dianne White of Kent. Other candidates were Renea Baker, daughter of Jim and Mary Lynn Baker of Creston, Dana Downes, daughter of Larry and Lou Downes of Afton, and Tiffany Gale, daughter of Frank and Judy Gale of Creston.

mark regulations regarding large livestock confinement facilities, becoming the second of Iowa’s 99 counties to override state regulations with more strict rules. The action came in the wake of several weeks of controversy over proposed mega hog facilities on up to 10,000 acres of farmland. Board member Rob Lundquist stressed, “One purpose of the ordinance is to preserve our water and air quality. It isn’t to restrict livestock production.”

Union County 4-H was celebrating its 75th anniversary. Sharon Wasteney, Iowa State University Extension director, credited volunteers for making the necessary changes through the years and planned to honor volunteers with at least 25 years of service. Among the honorees was Alice Gardner of Creston with 32 years. She had been in 4-H, her four chilhonoring God and bringing praise to him.”

Carter said local churches are invited to bring information about their churches to the event.

“We want a good turnout, a good church presence,” Carter said. “We hope others who may not know Jesus might be able to find some

The first nationwide rail strike in 20 years ended and trains began moving after a two-day tie up was broken by a new federal back-to-work law signed by President Johnson. The hasty enactment of the law by Congress required

compulsory settlement if necessary to end a long dispute over wages.

Robbie Freemyer, 5, had two broken arms after he fell off a ladder which was leaning against the porch of the family home. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Freemyer of Creston didn’t seem to slow down much even though both arms were in plaster casts from just below the elbow to the hand.

Creston Cozy Camper Club families spent the weekend at the Green Valley State Park camping grounds. The 39 families were from Creston, Afton, Arispe, Kent, Lenox, Lorimor, Macksburg, Shannon City and Thayer and included about 60 children. The club applied for a National Campers and Hikers Association charter and anticipated it would be presented to them at the state campout in September in Des Moines.

salvation or some way to get closer to Him or some way to connect with a church body that could connect with them in their growth spiritually.

“Just come out and enjoy it with us. This is our first year, so we’re trying to figure out how to do it. We hope to encourage the com-

munity and uplift our brothers and sisters in Christ. I think that’s important. It’s not just all about the music.

It’s deeper than that. The music is a vehicle to get people closer to God. That’s the most important thing, especially in today’s world. We need some love, peace and joy.”

dren were in 4-H and now her grandchildren were in 4-H. Considering the number of people in Creston for RAGBRAI with more than 20,000 visitors, the event was declared a great success with few problems. Creston Police Chief Bill Heatherington said traffic control went well as the riders were very polite as they left town. There were no arrests overnight, although there were several complaints of stolen bicycles.

There was one death of a Connecticut rider by cardiac arrest reported in Lorimor the next morning.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, July 20, 2017

Small business matters For those of you who know me well, you know about my obsession with Lush bath and beauty products. Lush is an England-based company that makes various soaps and bath bombs, hair care products, makeup and more, and they are all as environmentally conscious as possible.

I love Lush products. The bath bombs are great to relax with, the shampoo I buy is a bar no bigger than my palm and travels well and their “Hair Custard” tamer and styling cream smells like warm caramel.

I also like the products because a lot of them are what some people would call “naked:” they don’t come with a

container. You put the product in a small paper bag and pop it in your shopping bag after purchase. The shampoo bars, when purchased from the store, are the most noticeable for me because I just put it in my shower caddy and that’s that. When I first started using their bars, I noticed my trash output decreased drastically.

While this is a huge, international corporation, there are also

some homegrown businesses that follow similar principles.

I had the wonderful opportunity to talk with Blake and Kimberly Lauffer, who own Berly and Blake Lavender Company.

I’d seen Kimberly out at the Creston Farmers’ Market several times selling her products, so I would stop and sniff the various bars. Eventually, I just asked if she and her husband would be interested in doing an interview with me for our Ag Mag, and she agreed.

We met at their home and talked, then Kimberly showed me her work space. The air was thick with the scent of lavender, and it was so relaxing just walking through. The next time I saw

them, when I needed more photos from the stall at the farmers’ market, I had to purchase some of their products.

The couple make various face wash bars, bar soaps and lotions.

I bought some charcoal face wash, which feels so nice on my skin, and the chamomile soap bar, which I’m nearly out of after less than a month.

I love being able to support small businesses, especially those run by people who have thoroughly decided what their end goal is and their products are well thought out, such as Nathan Hamilton’s wonderful handmade rugs, who is still selling out of his home. I can already tell you, Kimberly and Blake,

that you’ll be seeing me again at your market stall, and Nathan, you’ll be hearing from me soon so I can begin purchasing some rugs as gifts.

As a small community, we really need to support our local businesses. Thrums Up and Berly and Blake aren’t the only two around; they are two businesses of many in such a thriving community as Creston, and we need to support business owners like them to continue our economic development.

The O.J. effect HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The GOP Senate failed to pass its health care bill Tuesday and North Korea vowed to nuke the U.S. The mainstream media continued to haze President Trump like an unwanted fraternity pledge. In other news, O.J. Simpson may be released from prison today, so there you go, things CAN get worse.

O.J. Simpson is reportedly favored to win his parole when he appears before the Nevada State Parole Board today. He’s said many times that he contemplated committing suicide.

Well, O.J. didn’t exactly say the word suicide, he vowed he was going to kill the man who murdered his wife.

O.J. Simpson’s possible release and likely TV reality series is forcing cable networks to upgrade their game to meet the competition. Animal Planet already changed the Shark Week swimming race rules between Michael Phelps and the great white shark. Now, the winner gets to eat the loser.

Donald Trump Jr.’s list of attendees with the Moscow attorney kept growing Tuesday, fueling speculation. A Russian lawyer, a former KGB officer, Trump Jr. a money-launderer, a Hollywood producer and the presidential candidate’s son walk into a bar. The bartender says, this must be about adoption.

Ford auto dealers reported

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

finding $1 million worth of marijuana stashed inside the rear trunk of Ford Focus cars this week. No one knows how many trunks are filled with pot. This is what Detroit has to do to get young people in Los Angeles to even think about buying a Ford Focus.

The Washington Post reports Capitol Hill police picked up a suspicious person who crashed his car into the U.S. Capitol barrier. Wise choice of targets.

By the time the House and Senate finish debating what do with the guy, the seven-year statute of limitations will pass and he’ll be a free man.

The GOP Senate lost votes to repeal Obamacare as the time approached to vote up or down on Monday. Up to last year, the vote to repeal passed over 50 times. GOP senators from swing states were plenty brave enough to vote to pass a repeal of Obamacare as long as Obama was there to veto it.

North Korea’s Kim Jung Un presided over a glittering army parade in an attempt to intimidate the world last week. The North Koreans haven’t fought a war in 64 years and every North Korean general wears at least 40 medals pinned to their chests. We could defeat them with a magnet.

Homeland Security warned Monday the fall of ISIS cities could result in terrorists fanning out overseas and spreading

jihad. One report says that terrorists are making plans to attack and kill every U.S. citizen in Los Angeles. Police officials fear the death toll could be as high as 100.

President Trump attended the U.S. Women’s Open Golf Championship at his Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey. It was a chore in a way.

Trump Trump made the deal to host the tournament a few years ago when he thought it’d allow him the chance to crown America’s most beautiful golfer.

Hollywood mourned the passing of filmmaker George Romero Sunday. He wrote and directed the classic horror and satirical movies about a zombie apocalypse, starting 50 years ago with “Dawn of the Living Dead.” It’s so cool George Romero finally gets to appear in one of his own movies.

Conservative author Ann Coulter made news when she threw a fit over Delta Airlines bumping her from a flight and costing her $30 dollars.

Her complaint Coulter was met with overwhelming public scorn. You know you have a likeability problem when the American people are siding with the airline.

HOROSCOPE For Friday, July 21, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to cocoon at home. A conversation with a female family member also will be important. Basically, you want a chance to relax in familiar surroundings. (Big sigh.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)This is a busy, fastpaced day. Make a to-do list, because you’re on the go!

Conversations, short trips and errands will give you a jampacked schedule.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Today you will focus on money, cash flow and your possessions. You will enjoy taking care of anything that you own. If shopping, you tend to spend emotionally. (Oops.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Today the Moon is in your sign, which makes you more emotional than usual.

However, it also brings you a bit of extra good luck!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today you will enjoy being low-key or behind the scenes, because you want privacy. Put your needs first. Enjoy some relaxation in a pleasant place.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A conversation with a female acquaintance could be significant today. For one thing, you have been thinking about your long-range goals. This discussion might focus on your future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Personal details about your private life seem to become public today. Just be aware of this in case you have to do any damage control.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Today you want adventure and a change of scenery. By all means, travel if you can. If not, be a tourist in your own town.

Shake things up a little!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a good day to attend to loose details regarding banking, taxes, debt, inheritances and anything to do with shared property. Get some of these items out of the way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Because the Moon is opposite your sign today, you have to accommodate others and go more than halfway. This simply requires a little patience and cooperation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Your health might be a focus for you today. One thing is certain: You want to feel that you are better organized and in control of your world.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A playful day! Enjoy flirtations, fun events, playful activities with children, the arts and anything to do with sports and the entertainment world. Have fun!

YOU BORN TODAY You are eloquent, perceptive and charming. You also can be witty. This is a wait-andsee time; a year when you will find yourself more in the

background and in a stage of development. It is a time for cooperation and building relationships that will benefit you in the future. Because your success lies in interacting with other people - be friendly!

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: Buying FURNITURE is an investment, but a necessary one.

Cheap, throwaway furniture is not a good purchase. The quality is not there, and the pieces will not last.

Decide on a budget and exactly how much you can spend on new furniture, and ask family and friends for advice. Here are some hints to help: * On wood furniture, look for solid wood. Avoid pieces labeled “particleboard,” “pressboard” and “fiberboard.” * Dovetail joints are high-quality. Furniture put together with staples and glue is, of course, lower quality. * Drawers should close smoothly. * Cushions need to consist of a firm interior, wrapped in padding. Bare foam means the maker didn’t take the time to do quality work. * Upholstery patterns should match, and the pleating around the bottom should be weighted.

Also, look around your home to see what pieces can be moved and repurposed.

Rearranging the good-quality furniture you already have can give your room a new look, and can save you mon-

ey, too! – Heloise DOUBLE TROUBLE Dear Heloise: I have twin toddler grandchildren, and wow, can they make a mess!

Can you give me some hints to keep their clothes clean?

Help! – Grandma Flo in Louisiana How wonderful to have two little grandkids! But I agree – it’s double the work!

Follow the three rules of stain removal: Attack the stain ASAP. Set-in stains are harder to remove.

Give it time. Spray pre-treater, and let the cleaner do the work.

Some stains are stubborn.

You may need to repeat a treatment. Don’t put clothes in the dryer until you are satisfied that the stain is gone.

I have compiled a collection of my best stain-removal hints in a handy pamphlet.

Would you like to receive one? It’s easy – visit www.

MIRROR, MIRROR Dear Heloise: I got tired of having to clean the bathroom mirror every time I flossed and brushed my teeth. Finally, I realized that if I leaned down over the sink to do the job and didn’t watch myself in the mirror, the mirror stayed clean and spatter-free. An obvious solution, but one I didn’t think of for years! – Nancy B., North Little Rock, Ark. PICTURE OF GROWTH Dear Heloise: When my son was born, we took a picture of him lying on the same blanket every month on the same day. We took the picture of him in his diaper alone.

It was amazing to see his development over his first year of life. Maybe mothersto-be would like this idea. – Bev Collin, Ravenna, Ohio Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O.

team matured throughout summer

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnnews.com

Creston softball held its annual team banquet Monday in the Creston High School Commons.

The team came together to bring to a close the 2017 season, a year in transition for the program.

Freshman coach Amber Brown and junior varsity head coach and varsity assistant Teri Keeler spoke about their teams and presented awards.

More than a few Panthers rotated between playing freshman and JV ball and between JV and varsity.

Brown noted how hard-working the upcoming group of eighth-graders and freshman were.

Keeler had girls filling numerous roles between multiple teams.

“They really kept improving as the year went along.

rorless ballgame of the year at the AC/GC tournament,” Keeler said. “Some of these girls played freshman/JV/ varsity, some JV/varsity.”

While the Panthers’ 9-24 varsity season was not up to the heights they had reached in years past, coach Mike McCabe noted many areas in which he thought the year was a positive one, as the Panthers look to get back to their championship ways.

“I thought it was a season our program needed to go through this year and it was a season that was going to set us up for the next great run of Creston softball,” McCabe said.

Creston battled through early issues of inexperience, as well as health issues, to play its best softball at the end of the season, something that McCabe has continually hyped as the most important thing the pro-

Interstate 35 (27-4) will today (Thursday) play at 5 p.m. for a shot in the Class 2A state championship game, set for Friday at 4:55 p.m. The Roadrunners will play Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont (31-8) at the Harlan Rogers Sports Complex in Fort Dodge. Should the Roadrunners win, they’ll play the winner of Durant-Iowa City Regina. Should they lose, they’ll play Friday at 3:30 p.m. for third place. Winterset (33-7) moved on to the Class 4A semifinals with a 5-2 win over Sergeant Bluff-Luton on Tuesday. The Huskies will face off with defending state champion Oskaloosa (30-12) today (Thursday) at 11:30 a.m. for a shot in the title game. If the Huskies win, they will play the winner of Carlisle and Charles City. A loss would mean playing in the third-place game Friday at 9:30 a.m. The 4A title game is scheduled for 10:10 a.m. Friday.

“We knew that we had quite a few youngsters in 8th, ninth and 10th grades that were going to need to step up and play some tough roles for us,” McCabe said.

By the end of the season, the Panthers had responded the way that the coaching staff had been looking for for much of the season.

“I was very proud of this group for the way that they ended up handling and dealing with all of those things that came up this season,” McCabe said.

Four seniors finished up their time as Panthers.

Lexie Little finished off her four-year career as the senior leader of the team.

She will attend Southwestern Community College.

“She’s been a Little steady presence on the left side of our infield for four years,” McCabe said about the senior, who has played on two

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Everything you need to know about Brandon Moss’s season could be summed up by the way he greeted a pack of reporters that gathered around his locker after a crucial hit in the ninth inning helped lift the Kansas City Royals to a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

“This is really nice,” he said, “to talk to you guys about something other than sucking.”

Moss was signed in the offseason to provide some punch to the Kansas City lineup, but he’s struggled so mightily that he has hardly played. He came into the game hitting just .188 with 10 homers and 16 RBIs. All those numbers took a bump up Wednesday night.

Moss homered in the third off Justin Verlander before coming through against Tigers closer Jus-

tin Wilson (3-4) in the ninth. The Tigers had gone ahead on Mikie Mahtook’s two-run shot off Kelvin Herrera in the top half when Moss doubled off the wall in center to drive in the tying run.

Moss went to t h i r d on the throw to Gordon the plate, and Alex Gordon sent a fly ball to center that was just deep enough to give him his sixth career walk-off RBI and the Royals a much-needed win.

They had lost the first two games of the series and seven of eight overall.

“We’ve talked about the importance of getting him hot,” Royals manager Ned Yost said of Moss, whose homer was his first since July 1. “He can definitely change the game.”

NASCAR THIS WEEK

The Daytona Beach News-Journal’s Godwin Kelly & Ken Willis have covered NASCAR for nearly 60 years combined. godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com ken.willis@news-jrnl.com

NEW HAMPSHIRE

SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Hamlin wins; who’s next to end a drought?

GODSPEAK: The stars are aligned for Kyle Busch to win Indy; it’s just gonna happen.

KEN’S CALL: Kyle is the easiest call, but I’m going with Clint Bowyer, who is way, way past due.

W H AT ’ S O N TA P CUP SERIES: Brickyard 400 SITE: Indianapolis Motor Speedway (2.5-mile rectangle) TV SCHEDULE: Saturday, practice (CNBC, 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.), qualifying (NBC Sports Network, 6 p.m.). Sunday, race (pre-race coverage begins on NBC, 2 p.m.; green flag, NBC, 2:45 p.m.)

XFINITY: Lilly Diabetes 250 SITE: Indianapolis Motor Speedway TV SCHEDULE: Friday, practice (NBC Sports Network, 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.). Saturday, qualifying (NBCSN, 12:30 p.m.), race (NBCSN, 3:30 p.m.)

CAMPING WORLD TRUCKS: Aspen Dental 150 SITE: Eldora Speedway (halfmile, dirt oval) TV SCHEDULE: Wednesday, race (Fox Sports 1, 9 p.m.)

Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

Who’s Kyle kidding?

Not us, that’s for sure. After winning the 89th Busch/ Nationwide/Xfinity Series race of his career this past weekend, Kyle Busch said that once he makes it to 100 wins, he’s “retiring” from moonlighting on that circuit.

In a world where sponsor commitments and teamfunding structures are often stretched way into the future, no driver can make such a commitment. In other words, if Kyle gets win No. 100, yet is contractually obligated to run several more Xfinity races, he’ll likely run several more Xfinity races.

Will this start a run for Gibbs Racing?

GODSPEAK: Joe Gibbs Racing is now cleared for takeoff.

KEN’S CALL: Doubtful.

23 years of summertime Brickyard 400s. Favorite memory?

GODSPEAK: Dale Jarrett had the fastest car in 1998, lost four laps when he ran out of gas, but finished 16th on the lead lap, then won in 1999.

KEN’S CALL: Easy, Geoff and Brett Bodine playing “Family Feud” at the inaugural running.

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E

No Dodge?

GARDNER]

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED 1. Junior mystery

2. Fast cars

3. Pothole repair

Dale Earnhardt Jr. unloaded slow and stayed slow during the entire New Hampshire weekend. Funny thing, N.H. Motor Speedway and Phoenix are similar, and he has three wins out West. “Didn’t have good speed,” he said Sunday.

“The best we were going to run was 10th probably, ended up 18th.”

Bill France Jr. used to say of the race field, “They are all good cars,” then would add, “Just some are better than the others.” Such is the case in 2017. Kyle Larson and Martin Truex Jr. continue to dominate. Larson has seven second-place finishes, plus two wins.

NASCAR has come a long way from the 2010 Daytona 500, which was red-flagged twice to fix a pothole in Turns 1 and 2. Officials found a baby pothole at New Hampshire, stopped the race for about five minutes, made the repair, and it was never an issue.

— Godwin Kelly, godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com

THREE THINGS TO WATCH 1. Full circle Kyle Busch has gone full circle since his last NASCAR Cup Series victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2016. Since kissing the bricks, Busch has not won another race, a streak of 35 races.

Now that Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin has broken the losing jinx, will Busch become the first driver to win three consecutive Brickyard 400s? “This sport is built of momentum,” JGR teammate Daniel Suarez said.

2. Busch retirement?

Busch, 32, plans to retire from racing in a few years.

OK, don’t panic. The 2015 Cup Series champion told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio he plans to stop racing in the Xfinity Series when he gets to 100 wins. Right now he is at 89 and counting. Busch’s goal

2017 SCHEDULE AND WINNERS Feb. 18: The Clash at Daytona (Joey Logano) Feb. 23: Can-Am Duels at Daytona (Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin) Feb. 26: Daytona 500 (Kurt Busch) March 5: Folds of Honor Quick Trip 500 at Atlanta (Brad Keselowski) March 12: Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas (Martin Truex Jr.) March 19: Good Sam 500k at Phoenix (Ryan Newman) March 26: Auto Club 400 at Fontana (Kyle Larson) April 2: STP 500 at Martinsville (Brad Keselowski) April 9: O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas (Jimmie Johnson) April 23: Food City 500 at Bristol (Jimmie Johnson) April 30: Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond (Joey Logano)

Kyle Busch, shown here in the green car, led 95 laps at New Hampshire, but watched his losing streak extend to 35 races.

Speaking of funding structures, the Chrysler folks have reportedly decided it’s not worth the commitment to return to NASCAR with the Dodge. Late last year, much premature noise was made when the idea was broached.

But according to a report from automotive website “The Drive,” the flirtation died on the vine. New manufacturer blood, from wherever, would still be a nice jolt, however.

FEUD OF THE WEEK

Jones

Hamlin

ERIK JONES VS. DENNY HAMLIN: Jones said he made contact with Hamlin on an early pit stop, which led to him blowing out a tire and smacking the wall on Lap 41.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: The two drivers will be teammates at Joe Gibbs Racing, so there wasn’t any fingerpointing or name-calling by Jones on this incident. But he was not happy.

[NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/CHRIS TROTMAN]

was to top Richard Petty’s 201 national series wins record (the King had one win in the Convertible Series).

Between Cup, Xfinity and Cup, Busch is at 175.

3. Logano’s plight Joey Logano won a race, but still has not qualified for the NASCAR playoffs because the golden ticket was snatched

from his hand when his car failed post-race inspection at Richmond. After finishing 37th on Sunday and falling in points, he needs to find a victory again to make the postseason. “Must win,” he said. “Back against the wall.

The team has it in them. We just have to get faster to be able to do that.”

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has promulgated certain amendments to Rule 15c2-12 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. § 240.15c2-12) (the "Rule") that make it unlawful for an underwriter to participate in the primary offering of municipal securities in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or more unless, before submitting a bid or entering into a purchase contract for such securities, it has reasonably determined that the issuer or an obligated person has undertaken in writing for the benefit of the holders of such securities to provide certain disclosure information to prescribed information repositories on a continuing basis so long as such securities are outstanding. On the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the County will execute and deliver a Continuing Disclosure Certificate pursuant to which the County will undertake to comply with the Rule. The County will covenant and agree to comply with and carry out the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. All of the officers of the County will be authorized and directed to take any and all actions as may be necessary to comply with the Rule and the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. Bidders should be aware that the official terms of offering to be published in the Official Statement (the "Official Statement") for the Bonds contain additional bidding terms and information relative to the Bonds. In the event of a variance between statements in this Notice of Sale (except with respect to the time and place of the sale of the Bonds and the principal amount offered for sale) and said official terms of offering, the provisions of the latter shall control. In order to establish the issue price of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes, the County requires bidders to agree to the following, and by submitting a bid, each bidder agrees to the following: If a bid is submitted by a potential underwriter, the bidder confirms that (i) the underwriters have offered or reasonably expect to offer the Bonds to the public on or before the date of the award at the offering price (the "initial offering price") for each maturity as set forth in the bid and (ii) the bidder, if it is the winning bidder, shall require any agreement among underwriters, selling group agreement, retail distribution agreement or other agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to which it is a party to include provisions requiring compliance by all parties to such agreements with the provisions contained herein. For purposes hereof, Bonds with a separate CUSIP number constitute a separate "maturity," and the public does not include underwriters (including members of a selling group or retail distribution group) or persons related to underwriters. If, however, a bid is submitted for the bidder's own account in a capacity other than as an underwriter of the Bonds, and the bidder has no current intention to sell, reoffer, or otherwise dispose of the Bonds, the bidder shall notify the County to that effect at the time it submits its bid and shall provide a certificate to that effect in place of the certificate otherwise required below. If the winning bidder intends to act as an underwriter, the County shall advise the winning bidder at or prior to the time of award whether the competitive sale rule applies.

If the County advises the Purchaser that the requirements for a competitive sale have been satisfied and that the competitive sale rule applies, the Purchaser will be required to deliver to the County at or prior to closing an Underwriter's Certificate, substantially in the form attached to the

Office of Sen. Ernst accepting fall internship applications

Contributed photo by Mandy Henderson

Candidates: Union County Fair coronation will be 6 p.m. Thursday in the show arena at the Union County Fairgrounds

in Afton. Shown are princess candidates in front row, from left, Ryley Hysell, Katy Gennaro, Kaylee Wells, Janessa Pokorny and Emma Gennaro. Second row, from left, are Mia Tallmon, Saniyah Lott, Ally Lents, Delaney Rooney, Hope Henderson and Veronica Lents. Back row, from left, are 2016 Queen Maddie Travis and 2017 queen candidates Macy Evans, Olivia Hartman and Allison Hadley.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The office of U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) is seeking Iowa college students and recent graduates for internship opportunities in the Washington, D.C. and Iowa offices for fall 2017.

Internship applications are available at www.ernst.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/ internships.

“Whether in Washington, D.C., or one of our state offices, a congressional internship provides the next generation of leaders with insight into the issues most important to Iowans and gives them the opportunity to learn more about policy, constituent services, communications and more,” said Ernst. “I encourage any Iowa college students and recent graduates that are interested to apply.”

Interns will have the opportunity to experience a wide range of responsibili-

ties. In the Iowa offices, interns will assist constituents and attend local events. In the Washington, D.C., office, interns will learn about communications, the legislative process, give tours of the U.S. Capitol and help with constituent services.

Applications for fall 2017 can be submitted to Ernst_ Internships@ernst.senate. gov. For student or parent questions, contact Erica Wenig at Erica_Wenig@ ernst.senate.gov.

Ernst was elected as the first woman to serve in federal elected office from the state of Iowa and also became the first female combat veteran elected to serve in the U.S. Senate. In Washington, Ernst serves on four Senate committees: armed services; agriculture, nutrition and forestry; environment and public works and small business and entrepreneurship.
