UNION COUNTY SUPERVISORS

Supervisors approve additional crack filling costs

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Members of the Union County Board of Supervisors approved an additional $47,000 to fill cracks in paved roads across the county during the regularly scheduled meeting Monday at the supervisors’ boardroom.

“We were wanting to extend the life of our roads, our hard-surface roads,”

said Dennis Brown, Union County Board of Supervisors chair. “We will go ahead and do what we contracted to do and fill those cracks that you see in the road. That keeps the water out of them during the freeze and thaw cycle, so that will help make those roads last longer and keep those cracks from getting so big so fast.”

The original cost, which was approved in May, was for $166,335.75, but Union County Engineer

Zach Gunsolley came to the board with an additional $47,049 for several other roads. This totals $213,384.75 to fill cracks in approximately 34 miles of paved roads.

“A lot of these roads that we’re doing this crack-filling work are scheduled for some surface treatment of some type, so it is ideal to go in now and fix the crack before you cover it with a new surface next year,” Gunsolley said. “It looks a lot different at 0 miles per

hour than it does at 55.”

The original roads to be mended are located at High and Dry Road from the Ringgold County line north 5.3 miles, H-24 between Adams County line and Highway 25, Green Valley Road from the Creston city limits north and west to the Green Valley park entrance, Cherry Street Road from REA Road north to Adair County line, REA Road from Jaguar Avenue REPAIR | 2A

Wildflowers blooming in Union County

By Kelsey Fleming

Farm Bill Wildlife Biologist Pheasants Forever

With summer in full swing, many wildflowers are blooming in native plantings, such as Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), and roadsides.

It can be difficult at times to distinguish between wildflowers and weeds. This article is provided to help with the identification of some of the most common native wildflowers that are currently blooming in Union County.

Prior to European settlement, Iowa was covered in prairie grasses and flowers

which led to the formation of its deep, rich soils.

Many conservation cover plantings include both native wildflowers and grasses that would have been present in Iowa’s historic prairies. Establishing these plants not only provides habitat for birds, mammals, pollinating insects and other wildlife, but also helps prevent soil erosion and improve water quality.

For more information about native plantings or programs available to help establish them, contact Kelsey Fleming at kfleming@pheasantsforever.org or call 712-660-0880.

Trump on tricky legal ground with ‘Obamacare’ threat WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s threat to stop billions of dollars in government payments to insurers and force the collapse of “Obamacare” could put the government in a tricky legal situation.

Legal experts say he’d be handing insurers a solid court case, while undermining his own leverage to compel Democrats to negotiate, especially if premiums jump by 20 percent as expected after such a move.

“Trump thinks he’s holding all the cards. But Democrats know what’s in his hand, and he’s got a pair of twos,” said University of Michigan law professor Nicholas Bagley. Democrats “aren’t about to agree to dismantle the Affordable Care Act just because Trump makes a reckless bet.”

For months, the president has been threatening to stop payments that reimburse insurers for providing required financial assistance

to low-income consumers, reducing their copays and deductibles.

Administration officials say the decision could come any day.

The “cost-sharing” subsidies are under a legal cloud because of a dispute over whether the Obama health care law properly approved the payments. Other parts of the health care law, however, clearly direct the government to reimburse insurers.

With the issue unresolved, the Trump administration has been paying insurers each month, as the Obama administration had done previously.

Trump returned to the question last week after the GOP drive to repeal the health care law fell apart in the Senate, tweeting, “As I said from the beginning, let ObamaCare implode, then deal. Watch!”

DEATHS

CONT. FROM | 1A

John McIntosh

31, 2017, at Creston Specialty Care.

Celebration of life funeral services are pending at PowCreston ers Funeral Home, junction John McIntosh, 89, of of highways 34 and 25, in Creston died Monday, July Creston.

TRUMP: tweet, “If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies...will end very soon!�

It’s not accurate to call the cost-sharing subsidies a bailout, said Tim Jost, a Trump professor emeritus at Washington and Lee University School of Law in Virginia. “They are no more a bailout than payments made by the government to a private company for building a bomber,� he said.

That’s at the root of the Trump administration’s potential legal problem if the president makes good on this threat.

The health law clearly requires insurers to help low-income consumers with their copays and deductibles. Nearly 3 in 5 HealthCare.gov customers qualify for the assistance, which can reduce a deductible of $3,500 to several hundred dollars. The cost to the government is about $7 billion a year.

The law also specifies that government “shall make periodic and timely payments� to reimburse insurers for the cost-sharing assistance that they provide.

Nonetheless, the payments remain under a cloud because of a disagreement over whether they were properly approved in the language of the health law, by providing an “appropriation.�

The Constitution says the government shall not spend money without a congressional appropriation.

Think of an appropriation as an electronic instruction to your bank to pay a recurring monthly bill. You fully intend to pay, and the money you’ve budgeted is in your account. But the payment will not go out unless you specifically direct your bank to send it.

House Republicans trying to thwart the ACA sued the Obama administration in federal district court in Washington, arguing that the law lacked specific language appropriating the cost-sharing subsidies.

The district court judge agreed with House Republicans, and now the case is on hold before the U.S. appeals court in Washington. A group of state attorneys general are asking the appeals court to join in the case, in defense of the subsidies.

Both Bagley and Jost have followed the matter closely, and they disagree on whether the health law properly approved the payments to insurers. Bagley says it did not; while Jost says it did.

However, the two experts agree that insurers would have a solid lawsuit against the administration if Trump stops the payments. Insurers could sue in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, which hears claims for money against the government. “The ACA promised to make these payments — that could not be clearer — and Congress has done nothing to limit that promise,� said Bagley. “I think there would very likely be litigation if the Trump administration tries to cut off the payments,� said Jost.

Another way to resolve it: Congress could appropriate the money, even if temporarily, for a couple of years. “Simply letting Obamacare collapse will cause even more pain,�

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas, said recently.

If the president makes good on his threat, experts estimate that premiums for a standard “silver� plan would increase by about 19 percent.

Insurers could recover the cost-sharing money by raising premiums, since those are also subsidized by the ACA, and there’s no question about their appropriation.

But millions of people who buy individual health care policies without any financial assistance from the government would face prohibitive cost increases.

And more insurers might decide to leave already shaky markets.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra says Trump’s tweets will bolster arguments from him and his counterparts in other states to intervene in the case. “We need somebody who will stand up in court and defend the subsidies against the erratic nature of President Trump,� said Becerra.

KELLY: CONT. FROM | 1A

communications director had unleashed an expletive-laced tirade against senior staff members that included vulgar broadsides at then-chief of staff Reince Priebus. In short order, Priebus was pushed aside and replaced by Kelly, whose arrival led in turn to Scaramucci’s departure.

The communication director’s tenure was the stuff of Shakespearian drama — though brief enough to be just a morbid sonnet.

Scaramucci’s exit underscored the challenges that Kelly, the former homeland security chief, faces in bringing order to a West Wing w h e r e a wide swath of aides have reported d i r e c t - Scaramucci ly to the president, feeling free to walk into Trump’s Oval Office or buttonhole him in the hallway to lobby for conflicting agendas. Backstabbing among aides has been rife, and rival camps have jockeyed for position.

And then there is president himself, who uses tweets at all hours to fling out new policy announcements, insult critics and even go after fellow Republicans who don’t toe his line.

The ongoing investigation into Russia’s meddling in the election is another source of unease. Monday night, The Washington Post reported that Trump himself had dictated the July 8 statement in which his son Donald Jr. described a June 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer.

The statement said Trump Jr. and other top figures in the Trump campaign “primarily discussed a program about the Trump Jr. adoption

Green Valley Road. “We’ve got a budget that we have to be under every year, and this is one way to extend the life of those roads,� Brown said. “We don’t have oodles of money, tons of money, to spend.

We’re trying to keep things stable. ... We’re trying to keep the hard-surface roads that we have viable.�

Each mile of road to be crack filled will cost about $6,276 to mend. “Crack filling would be that work that would con-

sist of cleaning the random cracks with high-pressure air and filling the void with asphalt emulsion,� Gunsolley said.

The first application of emulsion is a slurry, followed by the crack fill. The roads are chosen because they will get a seal coat update in the coming years. “These are the ones with the cracks that can be treated now before they can get worse,� Gunsolley said. “If you fill that crack before anymore water and mois-

ture can get in underneath the road, you will keep that crack from getting bigger much faster. “Doing nothing means not only that the crack grows wider, but that there are second- and third-generation cracks from that.�

Gunsolley said he hopes to start the crack filling later this week, and that, while each road is different and some will go faster than others, he hopes to be wrapping up in several weeks.

of Russian children� with the lawyer. Emails released later by Trump Jr. showed that the meeting was suggested to the Trump campaign as a means to deliver damaging material about Trump’s election opponent, Hillary Clinton.

Trump attorney Jay Sekulow said Monday night of the Post story, “Apart from being of no consequence, the characterizations are misinformed, inaccurate and not pertinent.�

The Associated Press has reported previously that Trump approved of the statement, which was crafted on the flight back from the Group of 20 summit in Germany in early July.

On Kelly’s first day, the White House put out word that the retired four-star general had free rein to tighten the chain of command.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Kelly “has the full authority to carry out business as he sees fit� and that all White House staffers will report to him, including powerful aides such as Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, her husband, Jared Kushner, and chief strategist Steve Bannon.

Kelly “will bring new structure, discipline and strength� to the White House, she said.

The chief of staff took his oath of office early Monday in an Oval Office ceremony thronged by senior staffers, including Scaramucci. But a short time later, Kelly told the communications director he was out, leading Scaramucci to offer his resignation instead, according to four White House staffers and outside advisers not authorized to speak publicly about personnel matters.

In the brief, cold words of the White House announcement, Scaramucci was leaving because he “felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team.� The three-sentence release concluded, “We wish him all the best.�

The statement revived the “clean slate� language that former White House press

“THE PRESIDENT certainly felt that Anthony’s comments were inappropriate for a person in his position.�

“The president certainly felt that Anthony’s comments were inappropriate for a person in his position,�

Sanders said when asked about the ouster.

Bannon also told allies that the communications director was a negative distraction. And though Bannon had clashed with Kelly over the implementation of Trump’s first travel ban, he pledged to work closely with the new chief of staff.

Scaramucci’s allies floated the idea of Scaramucci returning to his chief strategy officer post at the Export-Import Bank. Sanders said he “does not have a role at this time� with the Trump administration.

As the Scaramucci news spread, Kelly was in the East Room, smiling and taking Kelly pictures with guests who had gathered for a Medal of Honor presentation. A jovial Spicer also was in attendance, saying he was there to assist with the communications transition, though Sanders said she was not aware of any plans for him to resume his old job.

After swearing in Kelly, Trump convened his full Cabinet, including Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the target of recent public rebukes from the president.

Sanders later brushed aside talk of yet another abrupt shuffle: the idea of Sessions leaving the Justice Department to replace Kelly at Homeland Security. The president has no such plans, she said.

Trump, for his part, ignored the turmoil and declared that his administration was humming along smoothly.

SARAH SANDERS

White House press secretary

secretary Sean Spicer had used to describe his own reason for resigning on the day Trump brought Scaramucci aboard.

Scaramucci was escorted from the White House grounds, becoming yet another high-ranking official to leave an administration that is barely beyond the six-month mark. He was the third person to hold the communications director title in that time.

While in most administrations the chief of staff closely manages the president’s time and others’ access to the Oval Office, Priebus never was able to prevent Trump from continuing the same disorderly style he had created atop his business.

Scaramucci had been blocked from joining the administration during the transition by Priebus, only to eventually be hired by Trump a week-and-half ago. That decision, over the objections of Priebus and Bannon, led to the resignation of Spicer and fueled Scaramucci’s profane vows of vengeance against White House staffers who had opposed him or leaked to the press.

Days of negative news coverage of Scaramucci’s crass rant did not sit well with the president, though Trump himself is no stranger to using coarse language, including boasts of groping women in a 2005 Access Hollywood tape leaked last year.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, August 1, 2017

My first county fair Over the past two weeks or so, I had the opportunity to attend my first few Iowa county fairs.

I’d been to the state fair once or twice, but wasn’t quite sure what to expect out of the more localized experience.

I covered the Adair County Fair for the CNA. The fair, held in Greenfield’s Adair County Fairgrounds, ran Wednesday through Sunday. I made the trip up for each day but the last.

Over this space of time, I attended the swine show, horse show, poultry show, sheep show, goat show and beef show (among a few other events).

Now when I say I went to the Iowa State Fair, I mean I did all the “touristy” stuff. I ate the fun foods, I rode the ski lift, I visited the varied industries building, took a quick stroll through a few of the barns and then mostly just people-watched.

At the Adair Country Fair, however, I gladly had the time and opportunity to set up a folding chair, kick up my feet, relax and spend some serious time (many hot, humid hours) watching 4-H’ers and FFA members showing animals.

I learned a lot. Not coming from an agricultural background, it was a bit of a surprise for me to discover there were different types of chickens.

Perhaps what I found most interesting was the showing etiquette that many of the judges

A miscellany of sense and nonsense Alex Felker staff writer

espoused, and many of the youth displayed. “Keep your animal in between yourself and the judge at all times.” “Always look the judge in the eye.” It was almost a sort of game the kids were playing with the judge — and they were clearly well practiced. I can only imagine what might happen if you put myself in a pen with a hog and told me to “drive” it. Not good things.

The judges often spoke about the impact of it all for the kids.

How the experience was a learning one, how they’ll take the lessons and turn them into tools for a better future and, often, even about what the kids might do with the money they’d earn from their projects (often a college fund, I’ve heard). I think this is probably the most useful aspect of it all.

Even so, I found the experience not just educational, but also enjoyable. And I was a little disappointed to see the turnout not at the levels one might expect. But the youth of our country and state are moving in different directions than they were even just 20, 30 years ago, when you might’ve seen more visitors to the Iowa county fairs. Not just because there are simply less youth in our state to-

Sheep No. 6982, pictured above, looks into this young reporter’s eyes knowingly; “Ye cannot fathom all that I have seen,” she seems to say to me. I do not pretend a response, but at least return her wisened stare. For this was but the second county fair I’d ever attended — and not a time for making enemies.

day, but because they’re interested in different things.

I also attended, briefly, the Union County Fair held in Afton.

I saw the sheep and goat show, and spent some time wandering the grounds. I would return the next weekend to see the Tuff-N-Nuff miniature rodeo. In many ways it was a similar fairgrounds to Adair,

but also a bit different. I will say that Afton’s dedicated show arena was a very convienant implementation.

In any case, I really do love Iowa. It is difficult for me to say I’ll always live here, or even to say I’ll live here in five years — purely for the unexpectedness in life. I chose

to attend college here and I chose to take my first out-of-college job here, so who knows?

In any case, the county fairs are certainly one more thing to like about our state.

News that Greater Regional Medical Center (GRMC) in Creston, a state authorized county hospital for Union County, is planning to establish a medical clinic in Greenfield on the downtown square is not a “partnership” with the people of Adair County as one might imagine by reading the GRMC marketing hype on its Facebook site.

GRMC has never gestured to the Adair County medical establishment a serious interest in true two-way partnering as a way to strengthen health care.

Furthermore, no officially sanctioned invitation or “welcome” into the Adair County community has been tendered to the Union County Hospital Board of Trustees.

Should the Union County hospital establishment decide to move forward, in predatory style, with an “in-your-face” medical clinic operation in Greenfield, it will constitute a significant threat to local medical services and to other very important community interests, and here’s why: 1. Almost all rural hospitals struggle with demographics and population trends in order to sustain their operations. To remain financially viable, the Adair County Health System and hospital (ACHS), with five local based primary care physicians and surgeons and providers, two urgent care employees and several specialty clinic providers, requires a sufficient level of referrals for diagnostic services, emergency care and outpatient/in-patient services. This level is not easy

to maintain.

2. If Creston-based providers at a Greenfield clinic would refer a major portion of their patients to GRMC (and there’s no reason to doubt this would be the case), such action would definitely place the Adair County medical establishment in jeopardy of closing its doors, or at the least, in having to significantly raise its operations levy upon county taxpayers.

3. Should Adair County lose its local health care system, it will result in cessation of 24-7 comprehensive and close-athand hospital and emergency medical services.

4. In the aggregate, county residents will find themselves traveling thousands of miles for an array of medical and surgical services that are now only minutes away. Such a situation can be a threat to health and life itself. Is this what the Union County board of hospital trustees and their constituents wish for Adair County folks?

5. It is obvious that GRMC is out to shut down Adair County’s locally-owned health care system and “pirate” health care resources (revenues) from the local citizenry. Plain and simple institutional greed!

And by a public institution at that!

6. We are not yet at the end of the “story.” Adair County’s hospital, clinics and outreach services employ more than 100 full-time equivalent employees. These jobs currently circulate nearly $7 million into Adair County’s general economy and provide momentum to the prosperity of its residents, according to the Iowa Hospital Association.

7. As to economic impact, note that Greenfield is the proud home to Cardinal Insu-

lated Glass company. It employs 300 to 400 individuals. It would not have located its “job creator” in southwest Iowa at Greenfield had the community not been serviced by a general hospital with an emergency medical services department.

Greenfield’s total private sector industrial/transport workforce count, from four major employers, hovers in the 500600 range. Other regions of county add to this count. Local medical services are critical to ensure a robust industrial base, which in turn affects the “health” of main street, the education system and the overall quality of community life.

8. The state of “locally-based comprehensive healthcare” in several other counties contiguous to Union County could be in jeopardy if GRMC moves ahead to establish an institutional “beachhead” in Adair county.

9. What needs to be happening in this region is for a cluster of rural hospitals, including GRMC, to collaborate in ensuring the availability of the most professional and diversified array of medical services. This could mean sharing medical professionals or institutional resources among two or more hospitals or enabling several hospitals (not just one) to take on the role of providing a “specialty service” to which other local hospitals could make referrals, without having to resort to sending folks to major metropolitan medical centers.

GRMC’s announcement proclaims: “Our goal is to be a long-term partner for local health care services and invest in Adair County to see it grow and prosper.”

“Alternate truth” appears to have reached a new level of meaning!

Darvish, Gray dealt on busy trade deadline day AP Baseball Writer

By BEN WALKER

Yu Darvish and Sonny Gray headed a parade of prized arms on the move Monday, leaving little doubt on trade deadline day: Top teams made a big pitch for the playoffs.

All-Star Brandon Kintzler, Addison Reed and Justin Wilson were among the many relievers swapped before the cutoff. There were 14 deals involving major leaguers — all six division leaders got someone new.

“We’re trying to go from good to great,” New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said.

The Yankees bolstered their rotation by getting Gray from Oakland for three minor leaguers. That swap came a day after the AL East leaders acquired starter Jaime Garcia from Minnesota.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, owners of the best record in the majors and the top payroll, gave up three minor leaguers for Darvish.

The Texas ace will join three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw, currently on the disabled list, as the Dodgers try to reach the World Series for the first time since their 1988 title.

“We’re not going to be lining up our playoff rotation quite yet,” general manager Farhan Zaidi said.

Los Angeles also added relievers Tony Watson from Pittsburgh and Tony Cingrani from Cincinnati.

A few stars mentioned in trade speculation stayed put — Orioles closer Zach Britton, Detroit starter Justin Verlander and San Diego reliever Brad Hand, among them.

“We just didn’t line up at this time,” Padres GM A.J. Preller said, adding there was “no rush” to make a move right now.

Sefrit joins Schmitz, Boles as 1A honorees

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Lenox junior Aaron Schmitz and Murray senior Kenny Boles are all-state baseball players today, as determined by a panel of sportswriters representing the Iowa Newspaper Association.

A panel of coaches assisted the writers in determining the all-state teams in each class.

Schmitz, an outfielder and pitcher for Lenox’s 20-6 district finalist team, was named as an outfielder on the INA’s second team in Class 1A. Boles, also a combination pitcher and first baseman,

earned a utility spot on the Class 1A third team. Boles began the season as the Mustangs’ center fielder, but a troublesome elbow injury led to his move to first base to preserve his arm for pitching duties as needed.

The third-team all-state catcher in Class 1A is Bedford senior Quentin Sefrit.

He batted .512 this year for the 6-14 Bulldogs. He hit six home runs, four doubles and a triple in 20 games. He also threw out three stolen base attempts.

Lenox was defeated by state qualifier CAM in the district championship, 3-2, after edging Earlham by the same score.

Schmitz finished the season as the Tigers’ batting leader at .430 with 30 runs batted in and 25 runs scored in 26 games. He was successful in all 19 stolen base attempts.

He was second to teammate Jared Hensley in number of games started on the mound, going 2-0 in six starts and seven total appearances. In 33 innings he allowed 20 hits and 14 walks while striking out 37 and holding opposing batters to a .156 batting average. His ERA was 1.91.

Coach Tyler Peterson said Schmitz was equally valuable in the field as the team’s left fielder when not pitching.

“Aaron was very sound in the outfield,” Peterson said. “His errors were all on throws while he was pitching. I don’t recall any errors he made in the outfield, and he had a strong throwing arm. He’s fast and he can throw. He was our top hitter in the third hole in our lineup, and arguably our number one pitcher. We used him, Hensley and (Kaleb)

Anderson pretty much the same as our top pitchers and Dawson Tullberg was right there with them. Aaron led us in doubles, RBIs and hits.

He had a great season.”

Hensley was another candidate considered by the committee. The Tiger shortstop hit .305 with 18 stolen bases and 29 runs scored. He was 4-1 on the mound with a 1.44 ERA and 51 strikeouts in 48 2/3 innings.

CAM was defeated by state champion Newman Catholic, 10-2, at the state tournament. Representing the Cougars on the all-state team is senior outfielder Marcus Daugherty. He hit .352 with 20 RBIs and 34 runs scored while patrolling center field with plenty of outstanding plays for the Cougars. He had one error and seven assists in 30 chances for a .967 fielding percentage.

Another candidate from the Rolling Valley Conference team that upended Council Bluffs St. Albert in the substate game was shortstop-pitcher Thomas Hensley. The junior hit .319 with 27 stolen bases in 27 attempts and 32 runs scored.

He was 5-4 on the mound with a 1.37 ERA and 78 strikeouts in 61 1/3 innings.

Versatile Mustang Murray, finishing 8-16, battled 17-9 Southeast Warren to a 0-0 deadlock through five innings in district play with Boles on the mound. But he hit the 110-pitch limit and the Warhawks went on to post a 2-0 victory.

Fourteen of the first 15 Southeast Warren outs were strikeouts by Boles, who finished the season with 68 strikeouts in 50 1/3 innings ALL-STATE| 7A

while compiling a 4-5 record. His ERA was 1.11 and opposing batters hit .158 against him. Boles did not surrender an earned run in his first 28 innings of work this season.

Offensively, Boles leads the all-state team with a .662 average, with at least one hit in every game. He struck out only three times in 65 at-bats. Boles hit one home run, three triples and six doubles while driving in 19 runs and scoring 25 runs in 24 games.

“Kenny did whatever we needed him to do to give us a better chance to win,” said Mustangs coach Tucker Guion. “He was our leader and showed up every day willing to do anything we needed from him.”

Injury issue During the season, Guion said Boles was shifted from center field to lessen the strain on his arm.

“His rib kept popping out on him under his arm and he just battled through it after he got the OK from

Assistant coach Taylor Fulton echoed Guion’s comments about Boles’ leadership on the Mustangs team.

“As a pitcher, if you put Kenny on a team like Twin Cedars, we might be talking about him being a firstteam all-state pitcher,” Fulton said. “He was that good.

He had the same speed and breaking ball, just from the left side.”

The other candidate from the Bluegrass Conference was another versatile player in infielder/pitcher Tucker Babbitt of league champion Moravia. He hit .413 with 33 runs scored and 23 steals and was 4-2 on the mound with a 2.22 ERA. Another strong candidate from the Pride of Iowa Conference was Nodaway Valley outfielder Beau Weinheimer.

Bates came home with a career-best second-place finish, Jerid Lund finished third, 2007 track champion Matt Hudson came home in fourth in his first race in almost eight years and Jamie Songer rounded out the top five.

Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING – Seventy-eight cars hit the dirt in five classes Saturday night to partake in Chat Mobility Night.

Several youngsters also hit the dirt to participate in the annual Chat Mobility Kids Money Grab.

The Chat Mobility Hobby Stocks participated in their annual King of The Hill while the Tri-State Ford Compacts resumed their finale that had been postponed two weeks ago.

Bobby Key was crowned King of the Hill in that class by defeating Dustin Thompson in the finale.

Northland Oil Stock Cars Corning native Tony Hardisty came into Saturday night with two consecutive wins under his belt in the Northland Oil Stock Car class. He had to earn the third one Saturday night, starting scratch on the field in the 13 car class.

Buck Schafroth led the early parts of the race while Hardisty charged up through the field. Hardisty managed to take the lead from Schafroth, who had to hold off fierce charges from Joe Zadina and Kevin Sharp. Hardisty appeared to be on his way to the win, but a caution came out with two laps to go, setting up a green-

Five in a row Defending Chat Mobility Hobby Stock champion and 2017 Keystone Light Smoothest Driver Luke Ramsey has been smooth lately. The Bedford native came into Saturday night with four consecutive points wins, and he made it five in a row Saturday.

Chris Bates led the early stages of the race, but Ramsey managed to take the lead with about

white-checkered finish.

Hardisty held off the charge from Schafroth to pick up his third win in a row and fourth of the season. Schafroth came home with another runner-up place, followed by Zadina in third, Sharp in fourth with David Nail Jr. rounding out the top five.

Stalker Chevrolet B-Mods Fontanelle’s Kyle Tanner has improved each week in the Stalker Chevrolet B-Modifieds. It was only a matter of time before he found victory lane, and that time came Saturday night.

Tanner started on the front row and quickly jumped out to a huge lead before a caution came out with nine to go. Tanner hit his mark on the restart, while Josh Sink and Jerod Weston charged up through the field. Things got interesting when another caution came out with five laps to go, erasing Tanner’s huge lead once again. Tanner had a flawless restart and ran the race of his life to pick up his first-ever win. Jerod

Weston finished second, followed by Josh Sink in third, David Schwartz finished fourth and Shawn Kralik rounded out the top five.

Tri-State Ford Compacts Bobby Key picked up his first win in the Tri-State Ford Compact class back on June 10. The Corning native had been plagued with bad luck since then, suffering multiple DNFs. His luck changed Saturday.

Key started on the front row and wasted no time jumping out to a huge lead and picking up his second win in dominating fashion.

Dustin Thompson finished in second followed by Bryan Vannausdle in third, Joe Baker came home fourth and Logan Richards rounded out the top five.

Poet Biorefining Modifieds Essex native Brian Foote is no stranger to victory lane in the Poet-Bio Refining Modifieds. The wily veteran had been to victory lane 30 times

during his career, but it had been almost two years since the two-time track champion had made it to victory lane.

That changed Saturday night as Foote started on the front row and led the entire race. It wasn’t easy though, as Foote had to hold off charges from Todd Van Eaton and Ryan Jenkins, but Foote never budged, hitting his marks and collecting the win.

Jenkins finished second followed by Van Eaton in third, Jeff James in fourth and Jesse Dennis rounded out the top five.

Riley birthday card Appreciation: Sam shower planned Shepard embodied, CLEARFIELD — The Aug. 8. of Russell Riley is Cards may be sent to him examined American myth family hosting a card shower in at 202 Jefferson St., Clearin his own life too. In April 1979, Shepard was informed that he’d won the Pulitzer Prize for “Buried Child” on the same day it closed. Whether humble or a restless perfectionist, Shepard throughout his life would downplay his own accolades.

Of “Buried Child,” Shepard said there were a number of lines he thought were “toe-scrunchers.”

Although well-versed in Beckett, Eugene O’Neill and Edward Albee, Shepard spoke of his career as a playwright as though it were an accident.

“I don’t know how I began writing plays,” Shepard said in the documentary “Shepard & Dark.” ‘’I certainly didn’t decide to, I just found myself writing plays.”

And he cringed at the thought of performing on stage in front of a live audience, which made his transition into film and being a public figure even more curious.

Sam Shepard as movie star and celebrity was perhaps the designation that embarrassed him most.

He made his film debut in Terrence Malick’s 1978 dreamy period piece “Days of Heaven,” as a wealthy, isolated farmer and romantic foe to Richard Gere. Although he had minimal dialogue, Pauline Kael wrote in The New Yorker that Shepard, “Makes a strong impression.”

He’d go on to embody classic masculinity as Chuck Yeager in “The Right Stuff,” for which he’d score an Oscar nomination, and charm Lange in the Frances Farmer biopic “Frances” and then Diane Keaton in “Baby Boom.”

Aside from his acting, his ideas left an indelible mark on cinema: He dreamt up “Paris, Texas” with Wim Wenders and L.M. Kit Carson.

It was almost ironic that later in life, Shepard occasionally found himself playing men like those in his father’s generation. He was memorable as the general in “Black Hawk Down,” the outlaw older brother of Jesse James in “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” a hot-headed patriarch in the Netflix series “Bloodline,” and even as Ryan Gosling’s country father in “The Notebook.”

Shepard was that perfect bundle of contradictions that only an artist could ever justify: Someone who craved privacy and outwardly resented the opposite and yet acted in movies and revealed his rawest truths on the pages of his plays.

Or perhaps he wasn’t so oblique after all — just too complicated for the Hollywood celebrity machine.

“Here is a man who could see right through you, who would smell bullshit from a mile,” Wenders once said.

“He’d rather hurt you than be dishonest. There is no front.

He is just all true. With a dissecting sense of humor.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — No one really got to know Sam Shepard — and that was the way he seemed to like it.

Despite dozens of blatantly personal plays to his name, movie stardom and the spotlight of celebrity and acclaim, Shepard remained throughout his life an inscrutable figure, an American myth in plain sight.

Tortured, private and transient in both life and career, Shepard, who died Thursday at age 73, was in some ways the quintessential American: Full of restlessness, contradictions, and mysteries — and as handsome as they come.

He wrote and lived like life was its own jazz composition — skipping from a post-war California avocado ranch to the experimental East Village theater scene of the 1960s, then to London and Hollywood and back again. He wrote a play with Patti Smith and a song with Bob Dylan, and was the drummer for the “amphetamine rock band” The Holy Modal Rounders.

His screenplays include Wim Wenders’ western wander poem “Paris, Texas” and Michelangelo Antonioni’s Death Valley shocker “Zabriskie Point.” He also fathered three children, had a passionate 30year relationship with movie star Jessica Lange, picked up a Pulitzer Prize for playwriting and an Academy Award nomination for acting along the way — and those are just a few of the highlights.

Shepard once said he did his best writing on the road — literally — one hand on the steering wheel and one holding the pen. He advised that this is best done on a wide open highway, and not in Manhattan.

Born Samuel Shepard Rogers VII in Fort Sheridan, Illinois, in 1943, Shepard was both ardently of his time, innovating new methods of storytelling to impact an anxious era, and also evocative of decades past — forever haunted by the men of his father’s generation of World War II vets who he described as “devastated in some basic way.” As a kid, he went

by Steve Rogers, and claimed that he was unaware until much later that it was also Captain America’s civilian name.

Shepard spent his teen years generally apathetic toward school and looking for a way out of the banality of the post-war suburb. In his short stint in college in Walnut, California, he was exposed to the absurdist stylings of Samuel Beckett and decided to leave.

He had a difficult relationship with his father, who he called “a dedicated alcoholic” with a “real short fuse.”

Although wary of picking at his own traumas, Shepard explored this and other themes in his “Family Trilogy” of plays including “Curse of the Starving Class,” ‘’Buried Child” and “True West.”

‘Dunkirk’ conquers box office for second straight week LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Emoji Movie” has a happy face after overcoming bad reviews to debut in second place at the weekend box office, but not the big grin “Dunkirk” has after claiming the top spot for two weeks in a row.

The Christopher Nolan World War II drama added another $26.6 million to its haul over the weekend, bringing its domestic ticket total over $101 million in just two weeks. The riotous R-rated comedy “Girls Trip” also maintained its momentum in its second week of release.
