Ames-based rock band The Tryhards performed in front of a small crowd Sunday afternoon in McKinley Park.

The free concert in McKinley Park marked the second stop on a weeklong

tour for the rockers, culminating in a show Tuesday, Aug. 15, at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines.

Sunday’s show was a homecoming of sorts, as guitarist and lead singer Mike Walsh and drummer Alex Chapman are both Creston natives and 2014 graduates of Creston High School.

“Ever since I started playing I’ve been like, ‘Maybe I’ll play at the talent show or something,’” Chapman said after Sunday’s show.

“I’ve always wanted to play at the McKinley Park bandshell, so it was pretty cool to

actually do that.”

“TO BOOK a date here on tour in Creston, our hometown, it was really fun and it was great to see everybody come out.”

“To book a date here on tour in Creston, our home-

town, it was really fun and it was great to see everybody come out,” Walsh said.

“This is where me and Alex are from, so playing here was awesome.”

Walsh, an Iowa State University student majoring in criminal justice, began playing in bands about two years ago.

The current lineup of Walsh, Chapman, lead guitarist Sam Ripley and bassist Ryder Neys has only been playing together for about six weeks.

Agriculture secretary visits Iowa, touts need for farmers DES MOINES (AP) — U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue is visiting Iowa on a tour to tout the importance of bringing more young people into farm-related professions.

Perdue stopped in Sheffield, Des Moines, Urbandale and Davenport over the weekend as part of a fivestate tour. Perdue On Satur-

day, he delivered the keynote speech at the 2017 Iowa Ag Summit in Des Moines.

Perdue also announced a new mentoring program for farmers. He says he wants to make it easier for families to get into the industry. A new partnership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the nonprofit group SCORE will help aspiring farmers.

Perdue says future farmers need more access to capital, technology and information to join the industry, which he says will face greater demands in the next 30 years.

Back home, Speaker Ryan can’t escape questions about GOP MUKWONAGO, Wis. (AP) — With a dysfunctional Congress on recess, House Speaker Paul Ryan has turned his focus back home, touring flood-damaged areas and visiting local businesses in Wisconsin. But he can’t escape the questions about why Republicans in charge of Washington aren’t delivering.

And though he’s won re-election easily for years, Ryan faces the prospect of challenges from left and right and an energized Democratic base in next year’s midterm elections.

“We have a majority in the House and Senate and it feels like nothing’s getting done,” 32-year-old James Hulsey said just before Ryan recently toured his workplace.

Sensing the angst, Ryan has been much more visible in his southeast Wisconsin district as Republicans failed to deliver on their yearslong Ryan promise to scrap the health care law and new polling numbers show the speaker is less popular among Republicans in Wisconsin than President Donald Trump. Trump won Wisconsin by less than a percentage point, but he carried Ryan’s district by 10 points.

In the remaining months of the year, Ryan and the Republican-led Congress are determined to deliver major legislation, elusive so far due to GOP infighting, and the top priority is overhauling the nation’s tax code. Failure to produce could cost Republicans their House majority in the 2018 midterms and, for Ryan, his job as speaker and Republican leader.

“This is the third time in 100 years we’ve had this alignment of government that we’ve got to get it done or else I really worried our

Creston News Advertiser | Monday, August 7, 2017

country will continue down a bad path,” Ryan said after his tour of the wire manufacturer Banker Wire, in Mukwonago, Wisconsin.

He later told the Wisconsin State Journal, “If we don’t do our job, we will depress turnout. I am frustrated as well.”

Republican Keith Ketzler, 62, worries that the GOP will pay politically next year.

Democrats need to flip 24 seats to regain control.

“Everybody that voted Republican is getting very frustrated,” Ketzler said, after prodding Ryan about why Congress hasn’t achieved more. “People crossed the line last time, but they’re not going to stay crossed if they don’t get things done.”

Ryan angered some conservatives during the campaign with comments critical of then-candidate Trump.

But in the first six months of Trump’s term, Ryan has been far less critical of the president than other Republican lawmakers who have challenged a number of Trump moves, including his criticism of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a former senator.

Ryan’s Republican primary challenger last year, Paul Nehlen, initially won the backing of then-candidate Trump, who later switched to Ryan. Ryan beat Nehlen by 70 percentage points in the primary. But Nehlen, who is running again, thinks 2018 will be more difficult for Ryan, arguing that he hasn’t done enough to appease Republican Trump supporters.

“President Trump has given Paul Ryan way more opportunities to stand up and back him and what he has done is really undermine him,” Nehlen said.

Beating Ryan will not be easy.

No Democrat has represented the district since 1995. Ryan has cruised to re-election ever since he RYAN | 8A

enough original material to create an album, which it is eagerly awaiting to return from the studio.

The Tryhards played a 45-minute set Sunday consisting of original songs and cover songs, including “Knocking on Heaven’s Door.”

“Before these guys joined, I was with a few other guys and we recorded five original songs on a short EP,” Walsh said.

“Right now we’re waiting for the studio to get back with us and I think it’s 10 songs on our album, original songs that have been recorded.”

Walsh played saxophone in the Creston Middle School and Creston High School bands, and learned how to play guitar from Dustin Baird when Baird first opened his studio in town.

Chapman got a drum set for Christmas in 2010 and began playing drums, but quickly shifted his focus to guitar. When Walsh approached him looking for a drummer, Chapman “picked the sticks back up.”

“I’m glad I did because we’re having a good time,” Chapman said. “Just the adrenaline – for me, playing sports, nothing can replace that feeling. But honestly, playing live music is just as fun.”

“FOR ME, playing sports, nothing can replace that feeling.

But honestly, playing live music is just as fun.”

ALEX CHAPMAN

The Tryhards drummer

Chapman said Sunday’s show at the McKinley Park

bandshell was the biggest stage the band has played on so far. The band typically plays house shows.

That will soon change, though.

The band’s tour continues with a 6 p.m. show tonight at Vaudeville Mews, with its capacity of 230, in downtown Des Moines before rolling on to Iowa City Tuesday, then Rockford, Illinois, Thursday.

The tour ends with a 2:30 p.m. show Tuesday, Aug. 15, on the Bud Light stage at the Iowa State Fair.

“I think it’s a big step in the right direction,” Walsh said. “It’s definitely challenging. It’ll be a bigger stage than we’ve ever played on.”

“I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of audience we draw, because I really like to see the reaction,” Ripley said. “Mike is a terrific frontman. He can really get the crowd going.

It’s true – lots of crowd involvement. It’s a fun time.”

The performance at the Iowa State Fair could be a big moment for the band as it looks to go bigger in the future.

“Being exposed to that many people is a big deal in the music industry,” Neys said.

After the Iowa State Fair, the band plans to take a short break to write new material. After getting back into the studio to record a new album, the band hopes to go back on tour again next summer.

“You think underground music is dead nowadays,” Chapman said. “If you get out there and actually find shows, some people, I would love to listen to their music. There’s some really good music in Iowa, but it’s just accessibility. It’s just easier to click on today’s hits on Spotify.”

HOROSCOPE For Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You will meet a new, interesting friend today. (Sounds like a classic prediction, doesn’t it?)

It’s very likely that this person will inspire you to be bolder and braver about your future goals.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)You will impress bosses, parents and VIPs today because you are independent and energetic. They can sense that you are someone they can rely on. And it’s true!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Surprise opportunities to travel somewhere might fall into your lap today. If so, the window of opportunity will be brief, so you will have to act quickly. This also applies to chances for further training and education.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Keep an eye on details related to inheritances, shared property and insurance issues today, because something unusual might affect these areas. Be smart and know what’s happening.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A friend or partner might throw you a curveball today. Get ready to duck. You don’t need to have an answer right away. You can stall. Do not react impulsively. Be cool.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22)Your work routine will be interrupted today by computer crashes, canceled meetings or staff shortages. (It could be anything.) Allow yourself extra time so that you have wiggle room to cope with the unexpected.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If you are a parent or teacher, be vigilant today, because this is an accident-prone day for kids.

Likewise, romance will have a rocky road. Patience is needed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Small appliances might break down today, or minor breakages could occur, because something unexpected will occur at home. Perhaps someone you least expect will knock on your door?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be careful, because this is a mildly accident-prone day. Therefore, pay attention to everything you say and do.

Stay sharp.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today, because something unexpected might happen. You might find money, or you might lose money. Stay alert.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)You feel energetic today.

This is why you are full of inventive, original ideas that

you want to share with others.

Smarty-pants you!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Your ESP and psychic abilities are highly tuned today.

Don’t ignore your hunches or your natural Spidey sense about things.

YOU BORN TODAY You are a natural leader who is responsible, focused and realistic. You also are kind, diplomatic and generous. This is your power year! Whatever

you have done in the past will now come to fruition. This is a year of big decisions and major achievements. Activity is key. You will be involved and busy! Opportunities for advancement and recognition for your work will happen.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about department staff who ignore the customer: “Dear Heloise: I recently went shopping at a major department store, and I asked one of the sales staff if she could assist me, and she said, “No,” she was busy, and just walked off. I saw a group of three giggling salespeople and asked if they could help me, and one young woman said, “In a minute,” turned her back and continued her conversation. I left the store without spending a dime.

“This isn’t the first time I’ve seen salespeople ignore a customer. The majority of salespeople usually are helpful and professional, but it only takes a few bad apples to ruin the reputation of a store. Is it a lack of proper training?” – Emma Y., Scranton, Pa. Emma, sorry to hear about this unfortunate incident, but you do have options.

You can call the store manager to let him or her know of your experience, or write a letter to the corporate CEO. Training might be the

issue, but you always can recommend better training in a phone call or letter. – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com FAST FACTS Dear Readers: If you lose your wallet: * Call the police and report that it’s lost or stolen – do this immediately! * Get a new driver’s license – this is your most commonly used form of ID. * Cancel all credit cards and, if necessary, notify your bank. * Notify utilities in case someone tries to open an account. * If you kept a spare house key in your wallet, have the locks changed. – Heloise NASTY GNATS Dear Heloise: I’m having problems with gnats in my kitchen and bathrooms. I have the house sprayed for

bugs, but I still have gnats.

Do you have a solution to this problem? – Bugs in Kitchen, via email First make certain all indoor plants are not watered for a couple of days; gnats lay their eggs in damp soil. Remove all food or fruit bowls from the counter. Clean all surfaces with an all-purpose cleaner, including the floors and trash baskets. Cover drains with plastic and tape it down. Leave this in place overnight.

Then make a gnat trap: * Pour about 1/4 cup of apple-cider vinegar into a jar or plastic container. * Take a coffee filter and place over the opening of the apple-cider container. You can use a rubber band to ensure that the coffee filter is held in place and there is a tight seal. * Poke three holes in the coffee filter, no bigger than 1/4 inch to 1/3 inch wide. * Place in an area where the gnats are, and leave it there for a day or two. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Jay Cutler agrees to terms with Dolphins DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Jay Cutler has decided to postpone retirement for the chance to be Ryan Tannehill’s replacement.

Cutler agreed to terms Sunday on a contract with the Miami Dolphins, a person familiar with the situation said.

The person confirmed the agreement to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Dolphins weren’t expected to announce the deal until Cutler signed the $10 million, one-year deal. Cutler will compete with Matt Moore for a starting job while Tannehill remains out with a left knee injury that could sideline him for the entire season.

Dolphins coach Adam Gase was offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears when Cutler had a career-best quarterback rating with them in 2015. Gase joined Miami in 2016, and Cutler parted with Chicago in March after eight seasons.

Cutler, 34, drew little interest in the spring as a free agent, perhaps partly because of his prickly personality and tendency for turnovers.

“I guess I know a different guy than what everybody else portrays,” Gase said in May, when Cutler was hired by Fox as an analyst to work on its No. 2 NFL team.

Tannehill, who missed the final four games of last season with two sprained ligaments in his knee, reinjured it a week into training camp Thursday. The damage is similar last year’s injury, a personal familiar with the diagnosis said, which has left the Dolphins consulting with specialists to determine whether surgery is the best option for Tannehill. He’s expected to be sidelined a minimum of six weeks, but the deal with Cutler signals the Dolphins anticipate Tannehill will need a lengthier recovery.

Cutler is 68-71 as a starter with a career quarterback rating of 85.7, 208 touchdown passes and 146 interceptions. Several NFL starting QBs are older, including New England’s Tom Brady, who just turned 40.

Moore turns 33 next week and has 28 starts in 10 seasons. Last year he helped the Dolphins clinch their first postseason berth since 2008, going 2-1 as a starter to end the regular season before a first-round playoff loss at Pittsburgh.

Gase gave Moore only a tepid endorsement Friday, saying: “Right now Matt is our quarterback.”

joined Congress in 1999 — winning by 35 percentage points last year. He has $11.5 million in the bank and is a familiar face in Janesville where he was born and raised and still lives with his wife and three children.

Democrats are pinning their hopes on Randy Bryce, an Army veteran and union iron worker with the nickname “Iron Stache.” He appears to have walked out of Hollywood central casting — complete with a dark mustache, thick biceps, faded blue jeans and a promise to fight for the working man.

Bryce is trying to capitalize on disenchantment over Ryan’s role in the health care bill as he mounts a long-shot campaign.

Bryce generated excitement among Democrats both in Wisconsin and nationally for his announcement video in June that has now been viewed more than 550,000

Search called off for 3 US Marines who crashed off Australia SYDNEY (AP) — U.S. military officials called off a search and rescue operation on Sunday for three U.S. Marines who were missing after their Osprey aircraft crashed into the sea off the east coast of Australia while trying to land.

The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps suspended the rescue operation and launched a recovery effort instead, the Marine base Camp Butler in Japan said in a statement, essentially confirming the military does not expect to find the missing Marines alive.

The Marines’ next of kin had been notified, and Australia’s defense force was assisting the Americans with the recovery effort, the statement said.

The MV-22 Osprey had launched from the USS Bonhomme Richard and was conducting regularly scheduled operations on Saturday when it crashed into the water, Camp Butler said. The ship’s small boats and aircraft immediately responded in the search and rescue efforts, and 23 of 26 personnel aboard the aircraft were rescued.

“Recovery and salvage operations can take several months to complete, but can be extended based on several environmental factors,” Camp Butler’s statement said. “The circumstances of the mishap are currently under investigation, and there is no additional information available at this time.”

times. It begins with a clip of Trump praising Ryan’s attempts to undo Democrat Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act and then shows Bryce getting emotional as his mother details her struggle with multiple sclerosis.

“You can come work the iron,” the hardhat-wearing Bryce challenges Ryan, “and I’ll go to D.C.” Bryce raised $430,000 in the first two weeks after the spot ran.

Ryan has tried to shift the conversation from the collapse of the GOP health care effort and toward tax reform and the news that Taiwanese iPhone manufacturer Foxconn plans to invest $10 billion on a factory in his congressional district that could employ 13,000 people. Ryan launched a series of campaign-style online ads highlighting the news that the plant was coming near abandoned automobile factories in his hometown of Janesville and nearby Kenosha.

But Ryan’s involvement doesn’t seem to be resonating quite yet with voters in

his district.

“Paul Ryan? I don’t know what he’s done for it,” said Republican voter Jeff Lunde of Ryan’s role in the Foxconn deal. “They’re all working on this stupid health-care crap.”
