“I honestly didn’t expect to win,” said Joel Hartstack, May 2017 Southwestern Community College (SWCC) auto collision repair and refinish graduate.

Hartstack was named the country’s 2017 collision repair technology champion at the National SkillsUSA Championships held June 18-23 in Louisville, Kentucky.

Hartstack, who earned a diploma in auto collision repair and refinish from SWCC in June 2016, and then continued to earn his Associate of Applied Science degree in auto

collision repair and refinish in May 2017, is a 2012 graduate of Clarinda High School.

“Honestly,” said Hartstack, “my background would be that I always kind of liked tinkering around with cars. And it’s something that I’ve just enjoyed doing as a free time type thing — and I figured if I can do it and make money at it, I might as well give her a shot.

“I DECIDED to enter it because I thought it’d be fun to compete.”

“I decided to enter it (the competition),” Hartstack said, “because I thought it’d be fun to compete. And I figured I’d get the day off of class, and since I got the chance to go to nationals, I

figured — ‘Hey, it’s a week off of work, and I knew you could win some cool tools’ — so I thought I may as well give her a shot.”

The National SkillsUSA Championships is an industry elite level of competition. Contestants hail from all 50 states, each having won their respective divisions’ state competitions.

The purpose of the championships is to “reward students for excellence, to involve industry in directly evaluating student performance and to keep training relevant to employers’ needs.”

Throughout the championships, more than 6,000 contestants competed across 100 different events.

SkillsUSA is a multi-million-dollar event, and occupies a space equivalent to 16 football fields.

The collision repair technology championship that Hartstack won gold in ran four days. Contestants were tested on knowledge of business ethics (table

located more than 20 years ago at Creston Automotive in uptown Creston. Testing of the soil revealed contaminated dirt from the old gas pumps. The crew dug out the contaminated dirt and filled in the hole with a layer of sand and then rock, and will eventually pour concrete over the top to finish the hole.

Arson trials scheduled in Madison County bridge fire WINTERSET (AP) — Trials have been scheduled for three people charged with arson, accused of burning a covered Iowa bridge featured in the novel “The Bridges of Madison County.”

The bridge destroyed April 15 near Winterset also was featured in the 1995 movie adaptation.

Court records said Tuesday that 19-year-old Alivia Bergmann is scheduled to go on trial Aug. 29 in Win-

terset. Eighteen-year-old Joel Davis is scheduled to begin trial Sept. 26.

The records also say 17-year-old defendant, Alexander Michael Hoff of West Des Moines, is scheduled to go on trial Aug. 29, but he’s trying to move his trial out of Madison County, citing pretrial publicity. His attorney has filed notice the boy will use intoxication and diminished capacity in his defense arguments.

Report: Iowa school uses full-body wraps, denies mental care DES MOINES (AP) — An Iowa school for juvenile offenders subjects the boys to restraints and seclusion rooms and denies them essential mental health care, a federally funded nonprofit organization alleged Monday in a report that threatened legal action unless the state makes significant changes.

Disability Rights Iowa concluded the Boys State Training School doesn’t have enough mental health

professionals, locks up children by themselves and restrains them in beds with full-body wraps. It made the assessment after 11 visits to the facility, interviews with 30 residents and a review of records.

The group said the school’s shortcomings were part of larger problems throughout the state’s system for juvenile offenders.

the iceberg,” said Nathan Kirstein, a staff attorney for the organization. “This is not because this is an evil, deviant place, and if we fix it all our problems will go away. This is symptomatic of all the gaps in services along the way for these youths.”

Congress in the 1970s established the disability rights organizations to help ensure states don’t violate the constitutional rights of disabled residents.

The Iowa organization made numerous recommendations for changes in its report and threatened to file a federal lawsuit against Gov. Kim Reynolds, the Department of Human Services administrator and other officials if changes aren’t implemented.

After the organization made similar claims in 2013 against the State Training School for Girls in Toledo, then-Gov. Terry Branstad ordered the institution closed.

School Superintendent Mark Day said he agreed with the report’s call for expanded mental health services but argued that funding limits and a statewide shortage of psychologists and psychiatrists made it difficult to provide more treatment.

“I don’t know of anybody in this field who wouldn’t love to have more psychiatric, psychological, therapeutic services,” Day said. “... There’s an increasing shortage of those folks that are willing to work in a correctional, juvenile mental health facility.”

The State Training School has space for 130 boys aged 12 to 18 and currently has about 100 students, all assigned to the institution by court order

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, August 8, 2017

for crimes ranging from drug offenses to violent offenses such as murder and assault.

The school, which dates to 1873, is in Eldora, a city of 2,700 people about 60 miles north of Des Moines.

Although about 60 percent of the boys at the school take psychotropic drugs, Disability Rights Iowa’s report notes the institution’s sole psychologist isn’t state-certified and that a psychiatrist works part-time on a contract basis.

The report states that from Nov. 1, 2016, to April 30, 2017, nearly three-fourths of residents were put in seclusion rooms, with more than half of the stays for more than an hour and 6 percent for more than 24 hours. The group claims that sometimes, students are put in seclusion room as punishment, including for trivial infractions.

It also questioned the use of a restraint called a “wrap,” in which boys are held by straps around their wrists and ankles with a cloth around their body attached with Velcro.

Day responded that restraints and seclusion are used as little as possible and only to protect boys from abusing themselves.

Disability Rights Iowa called for transferring all students with mental illness or intellectual disabilities to facilities where they can receive proper treatment.

“If there was a kid in a facility like this who had cancer or diabetes, we would certainly hold the state accountable for providing them that care, and it doesn’t matter if your illness happens to be schizophrenia or attention deficit disorder,” said Emily Ehlers, a Disability Rights Iowa attorney.

State officials noted the state is working with an outside expert to make improvement but said the institution was already succeeding.

they’re disqualified. If they have to go to the bathroom, they’re escorted to make sure there’s no cheating or anything like that. They have to wear a uniform — you almost compare it to the military. They’re very strict and disciplined about their competition.”

After the four days of competition, Hartstack emerged as gold champion.

And although he did not expect to win, others were less surprised.

“Joel — and he’s received our outstanding student award — we knew we had a high quality student,” said Magneson. “He’s a farm kid, and anytime you get that you get a pretty good work ethic — and they’re pretty good with their hands — so we pretty well knew he was top-tier. And that’s the neat part of these contests; it gives you a neat

chance to see how your students stack up against other programs in other states, and he definitely proved himself.

“Joel is pretty laid back and confident,” Magneson continued. “He doesn’t get rattled very easy. He’s very intelligent — he picks up on things very quickly. And we don’t do a lot of practice for these competitions, so we kind of rely on the training we’ve been doing for these last two years to prepare them. And Joel represented Southwestern and Iowa very well. Couldn’t have asked for better.”

And what’s next for Hartstack? Does he plan on continuing in auto collision repair?

“Definitely — and as a career. That’s what I’m planning,” Hartstack said.

“That’s what I’m doing now, and that’s what I like doing. I feel like I can make some money at it, and not hate going to work everyday.”

U.S. officials are abandoning plans to require sleep apnea screening for truck drivers and train engineers, a decision that safety experts say puts millions of lives at risk.

The Federal Railroad Administration and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration said late last week that they are no longer pursuing the regulation that would require testing for the fatigue-inducing disorder that’s been blamed for deadly rail crashes in New York City and New Jersey and several highway crashes.

The agencies argue that it should be up to railroads and trucking companies to decide whether to test employees. One railroad that does test, Metro-North in the New York City suburbs, found that 11.6 percent of its engineers have sleep apnea.

The decision to kill the sleep apnea regulation is the latest step in President Donald Trump’s campaign to drastically slash federal regulations. The Trump administration has withdrawn or delayed hundreds of proposed regulations since he took office in January — moves the president has said will help bolster economic growth.

Late last year, the FRA issued a safety advisory that was meant as a stopgap measure urging railroads to begin sleep apnea testing while the rules made their way through the legislative process. Without a regulation mandating testing, which would have needed approval from Congress, regulators couldn’t cite trucking companies or railroads if a truck or train crashed because the operator fell asleep at the helm.

Sleep apnea is especially troubling for the transportation industry because sufferers are repeatedly awakened and robbed of rest as their airway closes and their breathing stops, leading to dangerous daytime drowsiness.

Treatments include wearing a pressurized breathing mask, oral appliances or nasal strips to force the airway open while sleeping. Some severe cases require surgery.

“It’s very hard to argue that people aren’t being put at risk,” said Sarah Feinberg, the former administrator of the FRA, who had issued the safety advisory

in December. “We cannot have someone who is in that condition operating either a train going 70 mph or operating a multi-ton truck traveling down the interstate. It’s just not an appropriate level of risk to be exposing passengers and the traveling public to.”

The National Transportation Safety Board said it was disappointed the agencies decided to scrap the “much-needed rulemaking.”

“Obstructive sleep apnea has been in the probable cause of 10 highway and rail accidents investigated by the NTSB in the past 17 years and obstructive sleep apnea is an issue being examined in several, ongoing, NTSB rail and highway investigations,” NTSB spokesman Christopher O’Neil said.

The NTSB has long recommended sleep apnea testing for engineers, and Metro-North and the Long Island Rail Road started requiring it after finding the engineer in a 2013 Metro-North crash had fallen asleep at the controls because he had a severe, undiagnosed case of sleep apnea. The engineer, William Rockefeller, told investigators he felt strangely “dazed” right before the crash, which occurred as he sped through a 30 mph curve at 82 mph.

The engineer of a New Jersey Transit train that slammed into a station in Hoboken last September, killing a woman, also suffered from undiagnosed sleep apnea, according to his lawyer.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he will push the federal agencies to reconsider withdrawing the proposed regulation.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, August 8, 2017

The price of air HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The White House notified the UN Friday the U.S. was pulling out of the Paris Climate Change Accord that’s purported to protect the ozone from carbon dioxide. We’re dealing with a precious commodity here. I’d never realized how expensive air is until I bought a bag of potato chips yesterday.

Giant Green pot growers bought Nipton, California, as a pot-friendly tourist site. They might rename the town Marijuana. Maybe Peruvian coca growers can buy the next California city up the road, so Marijuana can advertise itself, as any Baby Boomer will tell you, as the gateway to cocaine.

The Gallup Poll out Thursday showed Congress with an all-time low 10 percent job approval rating with the American people. Cosby is at 12 percent. You’d guess the difference between Bill Cosby and

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Congress is that at least with Cosby you get a drink and a drug before he screws you.

Hiroshima’s mayor called for a nuclear-free world on the anniversary of the U.S. atom bombing of the city. Yet had the U.S. invaded Japan, millions of Japanese people had committed to killing and dying for the emperor. They all pledged to drive as they normally do and take an American with them.

President Trump went on a two week vacation to New Jersey Friday. He had a chaotic month of staff firings, Special Counsel probes and a failed health care bill.

How badly are things going at the White House for President Trump

when New Jersey sounds like a great place to go for two weeks.

President Trump relaxed at his golf club in Pinewood, New Jersey, this weekend as other world leaders took August vacations as well.

Vladimir Putin was photographed spear-fishing in southern Siberia on Friday. It seemed a little cruel, but the manager of the aquarium had no authority to stop him.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said he wants peace with the North Korean regime. Their new nuclear missile can reach Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. Robert Mueller just decided to investigate President Trump to see if he colluded with North Korea to fix the next presidential election.

Special Counsel Bob Mueller is using a federal grand jury to investigate any Trump- Russia connection during the last election.

Trump said he expected the Spe-

cial Counsel to impanel a grand jury to investigate someone as important as he is. Grand juries are the biggest and best juries in the world.

Senate Republicans urged Robert Mueller to probe Russia ties to the Clinton Foundation. It’s possible. No one knows how far into the last election Mueller’s grand jury plans to investigate, but last Friday, Hillary was seen driving home on the Van Wyck Expressway in a white Ford Bronco.

North Korea’s Kim Jung Un acknowledged the Pentagon estimate that his long-range missiles could reach Los Angeles, Chicago and New York by next year. He’d certainly like to hit L.A. and New York. However North Korea denies any plans to attack Chicago, they know they’d be outgunned.

China urged North Korea to give up its nukes and missiles Sunday

as the UN Security Council added sanctions. It’s so unnecessary. If North Koreans could only watch a five-minute video of Americans trying to work the self-checkout registers, they’d realize they have nothing to fear from us.

Secretary of Energy Rick Perry is reportedly in line to take over Homeland Security. The FBI Director can’t tell us where jihadists in the U.S. are living, but the DMV chief knows the address of every unregistered Honda owner.

For the safety of us all, these guys need to switch jobs, and fast.

Fox News’ Eric Bolling was suspended for texting lewd photos to female co-hosts Friday. This after Fox had to fire Roger Ailes, Bill O’Reilly, and Charles Payne over office sex claims. Rupert Murdoch just put his foot down and ruled that Friday will no longer be Casual Sex Day at Fox News.

Dear GRMC providers and staff, Over the past few weeks, we confirmed our planned expansion into three new southwest Iowa communities – Mount Ayr, Corning and Greenfield – with Greater Regional Medical Center (GRMC) clinic locations in those communities sometime in the future.

We have acquired property in these communities, and actual work will begin on the clinic locations as we finalize timelines for construction completion and clinic openings.

There has been some criticism of GRMC and our plans to have a presence within these additional communities and counties. Some have questioned our motives and suggested we are

trying to displace existing medical services and locations in and around Mount Ayr, Corning and Greenfield.

Actually, our clinics will provide greater access and more choices, not the opposite.

Our goal is simple – GRMC wants to help ensure people have a choice in patient-centered, comprehensive, trustworthy and cost-effective health care services. We believe our communities, their citizens and the businesses located there benefit from greater access to quality care. We also believe access and choice are vital to quality, patient-centered health care.

When people have a choice in health care, the quality of care and focus on patients continue to improve.

In the coming weeks, we’ll meet with elected officials from these communities to discuss our plans to invest in and sup-

port their communities now and for many years to come. We’ll also work with them to ensure individuals, families and businesses in these communities are aware of our providers and services, and our commitment to the health and well-being of the communities and region.

We’ll continue to provide detailed plans as they are finalized, and we’ll continue to invite dialogue with those who have questions and concerns about our expansion. Rest assured, we’ll always be as transparent and open as possible with our goals and plans to continuously improve health care in the region.

Thank you for your service to GRMC, and thanks for helping us make continuous accessibility to quality, dependable and cost-effective health care possible for the people of southwest Iowa.

New Jersey 9-year-old wants to be NASA’s ‘planetary protection officer’ TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A 9-year-old New Jersey boy who described himself as a “Guardian of the Galaxy” is hoping to add the real-life NASA title “Planetary Protection Officer” to his resume.

NASA received an application for the position from fourth-grader Jack Davis, who asked to apply for the job.In a letter the agency posted online , Jack acknowledged his youth,

but said that will make it easier for him to learn how to think like an alien.

He said he has seen all the space and alien movies he can see, and he is great at video games.

“My sister says I am an alien also,” Jack wrote in the hand-written letter dated Aug. 3.

Jack received a letter from NASA Planetary Science Director James Green encouraging him to study

hard so he can one day join them at the agency.

“We are always looking for bright future scientists and engineers to help us,” Green wrote his response, which was also posted online. Green told Jack the job is about protecting other planets and moons “from our germs” as the agency explores the Solar System.

Jack also received a phone call from NASA Planetary Research Director Jonathan

Ziering: ‘Sharknado’ has ‘secret sauce’ he can’t explain MEXICO CITY (AP) — The memes and mockery abound, but “Sharknado,” which has conquered audiences, netted dozens of celebrity cameos such as George R.R. Martin, Ne-Yo and Kelly Osbourne, and has turned into an annual event. The fifth installment of the TV movie series about airborne sharks arrives Sunday with new celebrities and international settings.

“As a viewer I appreciate it because it’s fun, it’s escapism, it’s pure entertainment. But how do you explain it? I don’t know,” said series star Ian Ziering, who along with Tara Reid fights a tornado of sharks with a chain saw. “Major motion picture studios spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to capture some of whatever it is that makes our little ‘Sharknado’ movie globally popular.”

“It’s kind of like the secret sauce: No one really knows for sure. I wish I knew, I would be making my own movie,” he said with a laugh.

“Sharknado: Global Swarming” premieres Sunday on Syfy. It finds Zier-

ing’s Fin Shepard an expert in “sharknados” who is called upon by governments around the world to fight the crazy phenomenon.

Filming took the cast and crew to Europe, Asia and Australia. This year’s cameos include Olivia Newton-John, Bret Michaels, Clay Aiken, Charo and Mexican weather girl Yanet Garcia.

“Now that we’ve become a global movie it’s not just people who want to be in the movie, there’s countries who have solicited,” Ziering said.

“I think the craziest place that we shot that was, (where) they were looking at us like we were out of our mind would be Tokyo when we were running in the streets at night, like screaming. They don’t understand the language, and they’re looking at us and this crazy hair, and he’s got this in his hand, People were like, ‘What the hell is going on?’”

Reid said.

The plot has been nonsensical from the beginning and has created many memes on the web. Even Ziering found it ridiculous at the beginning.

“When I read the

first ‘Sharknado’ movie I thought It was terrible, I told my wife that I couldn’t do this movie, that it would be the end of my career,” said the actor, who starred in the popular ‘90s TV series “Beverly Hills 90210” and “Melrose Place.”

“I am an actor, but my most important job is provider of my family. I didn’t have very much confidence in the movie, but I did it anyway to provide for my family.”

The love of the fans has led to a yearly installment since 2013, all of them directed by Anthony C. Ferrante.

For Ziering, the biggest challenge has been “keeping it all together.”

“We’re saying things that are so ridiculous that sometimes you really want to laugh really hard,” he said.

“But you have to take all of this really seriously, because in the context of this movie these are very serious scenarios.”

At this point the only way he would stop being part of “Sharknado” would be “if Fin Shepard ever got eaten and is not able to chain saw his way out of the shark.”

Rall thanking him for his interest.

“At NASA, we love to teach kids about space and inspire them to be the next generation of explorers,” Green said.

NASA says the job might not quite live up to its thrilling title, but is important in preventing microbial contamination of Earth and other planets. The agency said it has had the position since the 1960s.

Hackers demand millions in ransom for stolen HBO data NEW YORK (AP) — A group of hackers posted a fresh cache of stolen HBO files online Monday, and demanded a multimillion-dollar ransom from the network to prevent the release of entire television series and other sensitive proprietary files.

HBO, which had previously acknowledged the theft of “proprietary information,” said it’s continuing to investigate and is working with police and cybersecurity experts.

In a swaggering five-minute video from “Mr. Smith” to HBO CEO Richard Plepler included in the dump, the hackers used white text scrolling on a black background to deliver an ultimatum. In short: Pay up within three days or see the group, which claims to have stolen 1.5 terabytes of HBO shows and confidential corporate data, upload entire series and sensitive proprietary files.

Specifically, the hackers demanded “our 6-month salary in bitcoin,” and claimed they earn $12 million to $15 million a year from blackmailing organizations whose networks they have penetrated. They said they would only deal directly with “Richard” and only send one “letter” detailing how to pay.

The dump itself was just 3.4

gigabytes — mostly technical data that appears to provide a topography of HBO’s network and to list network-administrator passwords. It includes what appear to be draft scripts from five “Game of Thrones” episodes, including one upcoming episode, and a month’s worth of email apparently from the account of Leslie Cohen, HBO’s vice president for film programming.

The network reiterated Monday that it doesn’t believe that its email system as a whole has been compromised.

The video text was written in often flawed but fluent English peppered with misspellings and pop-culture references.

The hackers claimed it took them about 6 months to breach HBO’s network.

Their biggest threat appears to be dumping videos of future shows online with their logo “HBO Is Falling” superimposed.

Many of the more than 50 internal documents in the dump were labeled “confidential,” including a spreadsheet of legal claims against the network, job offer letters to several top executives, slides discussing future technology plans and a list of 37,977 emails called “Rich-

ard’s Contact list,” an apparent reference to Plepler.

One screenshot labeled “Highly Confidential” by the hackers listed folders such as “Penguin Random House,” ‘’Licensing & Retail,” ‘’Legal,” ‘’International” and “Budgets.” Another document appears to contain the confidential cast list for “Game of Thrones,” listing personal cellphone numbers and email addresses for actors such as Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey and Emilia Clark.

So far, however, the HBO leaks have been limited, falling well short of the chaos inflicted on Sony in 2014. In that attack, hackers possibly associated with North Korea unearthed thousands of embarrassing emails and released personal information, including salaries and social security numbers, of nearly 50,000 current and former Sony employees.

The video letter uploaded Monday claimed the hackers spend a half million dollars a year to purchase “zero-day” exploits that let them break into networks through holes not yet know to Microsoft and other software companies. It claims HBO is the hackers’ 17th target and that only three of their past targets refused to pay.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Scholastic supply plan

HOROSCOPE For Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today you’re not sure whether to listen to your hunches or to your logical mind. (Go with your hunches and intuition.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A friend might plant ideas in your head about helping others or working with a charitable group, but someone at work disagrees. Take the high road.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Someone on the home front might disagree with your sympathetic stance when it comes to a person in a position of authority. Today you will have to go with what you think is right.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Do not be sucked into fancy words and propaganda about politics, religion or racial issues today. It might confuse you. Go with what feels right.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is not a good day for decisions about inheritances, shared property and other people’s wealth. You are confused about something, which means you should not act.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might feel sorry for a friend or a partner today. Just make sure this person is not crying crocodile tears. Obviously, you want to be sympathetic, but you don’t want to be a chump.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Someone might not agree with your efforts to help a co-worker today. Nevertheless, you feel sympathetic toward this person. Just make sure you know what you’re doing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) If you feel sympathetic toward the needs of children today, act on these feelings. Kindness and generosity are important especially with children. Don’t let someone talk you out of this.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) An authority figure might disagree with your desire to help a family member today.

For the most part, family is gold, and you have to show your support.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You will spend time daydreaming today or being lost in your fantasy world. Don’t worry about this. We all need days like this from time to time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) If spending money today, you will be tempted to go overboard with buying luxurious, expensive items. You might want to rethink this. It’s a poor day to make a financial decision.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You feel genuinely sympathetic to others today, especially for someone who has less than you. Act on your kind instincts, even if a friend or partner opposes you.

YOU BORN TODAY You are confident and focused. You also are curious and eager to learn. Something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end this year. You will

scrutinize old values and ideas you thought were important.

This is a year to become more involved with others. Giving may become more important.

Get ready for a fresh, new cycle waiting in your future!

Dear Heloise: I’m helping to buy SUPPLIES for my grandchildren for the upcoming school year. Here are some hints I use to stay organized and save money: * Taking inventory of what they already have and can still use was my first step. What can be recycled?

What can be repurposed? * Next, establishing a budget is important. Kids like and need boundaries. * The school provides a list of required items. I stick to the list – nothing fancy. * I buy necessities in bulk (paper, pencils, folders, glue). * Some schools have programs to help disadvantaged kids. We try to help.

These hints have helped us get ready for a successful and productive school year!

– Mary J., Hammond, Ind. Mary, fabulous! Great way to help your grandkids and others who need a hand.

Here’s a Heloise hug! – Heloise SAVING SOAP Dear Heloise: When my bars of soap get very thin, I break them up and put them into a pump container and add water. When they dissolve, I have a convenient container of soap. – A Reader, Waco, Texas

Whether this will work depends on the makeup of the soap. Some will dissolve easier than others. – Heloise SPACE SAVER Dear Heloise: Living alone, I use very few dishes, so I hand-wash them.

My dishwasher wasn’t being used, so I turned it into a pantry!

I use the top rack for canned goods, the lower rack for packaged food and dry goods, and the silverware rack for large cooking utensils.

The drawer that held the utensils now gives me space to store my spices. I lay the spices in the drawer label-side up.

No more standing on a step stool to find what I need in the tall cupboards. This is convenient, and it lessens the chance of falling.

Once a month or so, I remove everything from the racks and run the dishwasher for cleaning. – Debbie C., Warren, Ohio Great way to make the most of every inch of space!

– Heloise LOTS OF DOTS Dear Heloise: My son thought that math was a bore, but he loved competing in everything. I got out the dominoes, and with-

out him even realizing it, I taught him basic math.

We added the spots to determine the value of each.

Then we moved to subtracting. Thus a 5/3 domino became an 8 when adding, a 2 when subtracting. Very quickly, he could glance at the domino and know the value.

I selected dominoes that could be divided and taught him division with those.

This made learning fun! – Texas Dad, via email BATH MASH Dear Heloise: I love to take a relaxing bath while giving myself a healthy, natural facial. I finely mash an avocado and mix in a few drops of witch hazel.

I swirl it on my face and relax in the bath for 30 minutes, then rinse. My skin feels smooth. – Janice D. in Ohio Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Don Baylor, former MVP and Manager of Year, dead at 68 Wherever he went, Don Baylor left his mark on baseball. He was an MVP and Manager of the Year, respected as a powerful slugger, punishing runner and commanding presence in any clubhouse. And during nearly a half-century as a pro, baseball left its mark on him. Lots of them, in fact.

When Baylor retired, he’d been plunked more than anyone in major league history. Baylor was hit by fastballs, sliders and a bunch of pitches 267 times in his career. Baylor set the modern-day record in 1987 while playing for Boston, on the day he turned 38.

After the game, the Red Sox gave him the souvenir ball. “I can think of other ways to get a birthday present,” Baylor said. Baylor, the bruiser who also held the bruise record for almost three decades, died Monday of cancer. He was 68.

His family said in a statement that Baylor died in his hometown of Austin, Texas, after a 14-year battle with multiple myeloma. “One of the nicest men I’ve known unless you were a middle infielder on a DP,” former Baltimore teammate and Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer tweeted.

Baylor won the 1979 AL MVP with the California Angels, playing all 162 games and leading the majors with career bests of 139 RBIs and 120 runs. His 36 home runs were also his most.

Baylor later became the first manager of the Colorado Rockies, guiding them to his only playoff appearance as a skipper in the franchise’s third season in 1995 and being honored for that accomplishment.

Just three others have won MVP and Manager of the Year awards — Frank Robinson, Joe Torre and Kirk Gibson.

It was the great Robinson who helped give Baylor a nickname that stuck forever.

Baylor was a 20-yearold rookie in 1970 on a team that eventually won the World Series when he was asked about trying to break into the Orioles’ loaded outfield. Brash beyond his years, Baylor said he wasn’t too worried, that once he got into one of his grooves, things would be OK. Robinson saw that quote in a newspaper and, playfully in his role as judge of the club’s Kangaroo Court, made sure to read it aloud in the Baltimore locker room. With that, “Groove” was born . Years later, as judge of the Kangaroo Court for the New York Yankees, Baylor once fined coach Don Zimmer. So BAYLOR | 10A

Pressure builds for Iowa Carpenter homers as offense, new OC Ferentz Cardinals beat Royals 11-3 Troy Hyde

Newton Daily News sports editor

IOWA CITY — The Iowa football team’s defense ranked fourth in the Big Ten Conference with an 18 points allowed per game average. Unfortunately for the Hawkeyes, the offense didn’t score much more than that per game and it led to an 8-5 season.

Iowa’s offense produced two 1,000-yard rushers and had one of the best run-blocking offensive lines in the country.

But the Hawkeyes’ passing game left a lot to be desired even with a quarterback in C.J. Beathard who was drafted in the third round of the NFL Draft. The same offensive line who paved the way for Akrum Wadley and LeShun Daniels Jr. to more than 1,000 yards apiece also allowed 28 sacks and the Iowa offense converted only 32 percent on third down.

Flash forward to one year, and Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz brought in a new wide receivers coach and promoted his oldest son Brian to offensive coordinator. The Hawkeyes also have a new offensive line coach and a familiar face was brought back on board to be the quarterback’s coach.

“I’m all about stability. I think that’s a really important thing. But a little spice

in the recipe doesn’t hurt things,” Kirk Ferentz said.

“A little change here and there, tweaks, we can go through coaching changes a couple years ago, but we changed our practice, approach, that type of deal.

But offensively it’s been different because w e ’ r e getting to know the players a little bit better.

Even Bri- Ferentz an, who is at a different position, so it’s a whole different dynamic for him. I think it’s probably been healthy, quite frankly.”

Kirk Ferentz is hoping a change to the coaching staff will help an offense that struggled in the passing game when senior Matt VandeBerg went down with a season-ending injury after just four games.

The good news is, VandeBerg was given a fifth year of eligibility and he’s back for one final run. The bad news is, no other receiver on the roster caught a pass last year.

“I see a lot of young faces that are eager to learn and eager to be better than they were the day before,” VandeBerg said. “That’s all you can ask for. That’s all we are trying to do.”

VandeBerg had 19 catches and three touchdowns in his four games last year.

Newspapers in Education

The next best returner in the passing game is Wadley, who rushed for 1,081 yards, totaled 315 receiving yards and scored a total of 13 touchdowns.

The rest of the receiving core is loaded with a bunch of unknowns. The roster has talented veterans Devonte Young and Adrian Falconer and a host of true freshmen who are expected to compete for playing time.

“We are aware of what people are saying,” VandeBerg said. “But we also know the only way to get better is on the practice field. As long as we are building blocks toward success, that’s all we can ask for. I just want our group to be better tomorrow than we were today and continue getting better every day.”

Easley joins the Hawkeyes after an All-American year at Iowa Western Community College in 2016. He got a head start when he got to campus in January and has been atop the depth chart ever since.

“We don’t really listen to what people outside the program are saying,” Easley said. “I think we’ll be all right. I think we have some good young guys, and we have some guys with some experience who are ready to make that next step up in their progress.”

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Matt Carpenter likes hitting in the western side of the state.

Carpenter hit a three-run homer in St. Louis’ six-run fourth inning, and the Cardinals beat the Kansas City Royals 11-3 on Mon- Carpenter day night for their third consecutive victory.

In 13 games at Kauffman Stadium, Carpenter is hitting .451 with four home runs and 14 RBIs. He led off the game with a double.

“I’ve always thought it’s a good place to hit, but that’s kind of the funny thing about baseball, when you get off to a good start, your confidence is high and that’s the case here,” Carpenter said.

Paul DeJong and Kolten Wong also connected for the Cardinals, who returned to .500 at 56-56. Carlos Martinez (8-9) pitched eight innings of two-run ball for just his second win in his last nine starts.

“I didn’t even know we were back at .500,” said Dexter Fowler, who tripled, walked and scored two runs in his first game back off the disabled list.

“At the end of the day, you look at it at the end of the season.”

St. Louis also got some

help from Kansas City during its outburst in the fourth. Ian Kennedy (4-8) walked No. 9 hitter Greg Garcia on five pitches with the bases loaded, and shortstop Alcides Escobar and catcher Drew Butera each committed an error.

Butera made an errant throw while trying to pick off Fowler at third, allowing the speedy center fielder to score.

Five pitches later Carpenter hit a drive to right with Wong and Garcia aboard.

“The whole time I was falling behind guys and the home run just kind of capped it off as a bad pitch,” Kennedy said.

“You know it’s going to be like one of those back-foot sliders, one that is going to bounce. Just maybe not a good pitch to him.”

Wong added a two-run shot in the eighth, and DeJong belted his own tworun homer in the ninth.

Kennedy was charged with seven runs, six earned, and six hits in six innings.

He is winless in 14 consecutive starts at Kauffman since beating the Minnesota Twins on Aug. 20, 2016.

“He had a bad inning,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “In the fourth inning, they unloaded on him.”

Mike Moustakas, Eric Hosmer and Brandon Moss homered for Kansas City, which has dropped six of eight. Moustakas has 32 home runs, four shy of

the Royals’ single-season record of 36 set by Steve Balboni in 1985.

TRAINER’S ROOM Cardinals: Fowler missed a dozen games with a strained left forearm. He started the game hitting sixth for the first time in his career. He had batted no lower than third this season.

Royals: C Salvador Perez (right intercostal strain) said there is no timetable on when he could play again. “We’ll wait 10 days and see where we are,” Perez said. He said before going on the disabled list he felt a “little pinch” in his side. He received a cortisone ejection Sunday.

PISCOTTY OPTIONED The Cardinals optioned struggling outfielder Stephen Piscotty to Triple-A Memphis. After hitting .305 as a rookie in 2015 and belting 22 home runs last season, Piscotty is batting .232 with six homers in 75 games this year.

“I still see some things that indicate that he’s getting close, so hopefully he’ll be able to get it put together quick and we’ll see him back here,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.

UP NEXT Cardinals: RHP Michael Wacha is 5-1 with a 1.90 ERA in his past seven starts.

G N I C RA Update

Sink crowned King of the Hill

By Trevor Maeder

to capture his second win of the season and regain the points lead in a class that promises to have its title go right down to the wire. Sharp came home in second. Adam Hensel scored a career-best thirdplace finish followed by Buck Schafroth in fourth with Tony Hardisty rounding out the top five.

Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING – Eightyfive cars hit the dirt at the Adams County Speedway Saturday night for Stalker Chevrolet Night with the Stalker Chevrolet B-Modified King of the Hill. The B-Modifieds also crowned their Keystone Light “Smoothest Driver,” the finalists were Jerod Weston, Shawn Kralik and Josh Cooper. The fans selected Weston as the smoothest driver in his division.

Feature action got started on Saturday night with the Northland Oil Stock Cars. An accident on the first lap of the race collected championship contenders Buck Schafroth and Tony Hardisty. The accident put both drivers behind the 8-ball during the feature.

Fellow championship contender Joe Zadina wasted no time jumping out front. Zadina had to hold off a fierce charge from Kevin Sharp, but managed to pull away in the latter stages of the race

Stalker Chevrolet B-Mods Jerod Weston was crowned “Smoothest Driver” of the Stalker Chevrolet B-Modified class prior to the feature. He was just that on Saturday night, as the Red Oak native dominated the second half of the race to capture his fourth points win of the season.

Youngsters Daniel Baudler and Nick Gross battled for the lead in the early stages of the race.

Baudler led the race until Weston assumed the lead with eight laps to go. It was smooth sailing for the points leader after that as he never looked back on his way to capturing the win. Last week’s feature

winner Kyle Tanner finished in second, Shawn Kralik finished third, followed by Josh Cooper in fourth and Josh Sink in fifth.

Tri-State Ford Compacts

Chat Mobility It’s been a breakout Hobby Stocks

year for Dustin Thompson in the Tri-State Ford Compacts this year. The Villisca native came into Saturday night with three feature victories under his belt and a 28-point lead over second-place Evan Hrabik. Thompson added to his win count and extended his points lead on Saturday night.

Thompson was aggressive early on, making early-race contact with Dean Richards while battling for the lead. Track officials deemed the move

by Thompson to be a tad aggressive and docked him three spots sending him back to fourth place.

Thompson didn’t budge however, quickly charging back up front, eventually regaining the lead from Dean Richards to take the win. Last week’s winner

Bedford native Luke Ramsey came into Saturday night with five consecutive points wins in the Chat Mobility Hobby Stocks. That streak came to an end Saturday night at the hands of Ankeny’s Jamie Songer.

Songer started in the sixth position but quickly jumped out to the race lead while Ramsey worked his way through traffic.

Late-race cautions certainly made it interesting as Ramsey and Tom Myers gave Songer everything they had on two greenwhite-checkered restarts, but it wasn’t enough as Songer picked up his first career win at ACS and his first win in the state of Iowa in 2017. Ramsey finished second, followed by Tom Myers in third. Chris Bates finished fourth and

Tim McCollum rounded out the top five.

Poet Bio-Refining Modifieds Poet Bio-Refining Modifieds points leader Jeff James started the season off strong, picking up two wins early in the year.

Things hadn’t been so easy for the Stanton native as of lately, but he got it figured out Saturday to pick up the win in an 18-car modified class. Jacob Hobscheidt led the first half of the race and appeared as if he might be able to capture his first win in a modified at ACS, but James managed to take the lead at around the halfway point and set his car on cruise as he strolled for his third win of the 2017 season while also extending his points lead. Jesse Sobbing rallied from his 11th starting position to finish second, Jon Plowman finished third, followed by John Davis in fourth and Justin Zeitner in fifth.

BAYLOR: CONT. FROM | 6A

why pick on such a beloved figure? “Just for being Don Zimmer,” Baylor said. As judge of the Kangaroo Court in Boston, Baylor levied a $5 fine on Red Soxw ace Roger Clemens — right after he had struck out a record 20 batters against Seattle. The offense? Giving up a hit to former University of Texas teammate Spike Owen on an 0-2 pitch.

Baylor had a chance to go to Texas, too. He was a second-round pick by Baltimore in 1967 and chose baseball over a chance to be the first black football player at Texas. Two years later, the Longhorns became the last all-white team to win a national championship. No doubt, Baylor was rugged enough for either sport.

“He was a tough man, and he didn’t have to tell you he was tough,” Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said of his first big league skipper.

Kansas City manager Ned Yost knew that firsthand, having played behind the plate. “Don was kind of a fearsome guy, especially if

FERENTZ CONT. FROM | 8A

freshmen class of Max Cooper, Brandon Smith, Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Henry Marchese. Seven of the 11 wide receivers listed on the roster are either freshmen or sophomores.

“Looking at the depth chart, common sense says based on numbers is that those true freshmen are going to have opportunities to play,” new wide receivers coach Kelton Copeland said. “I told them from Day 1 that they need to prepare to come in and be ready to compete for playing time.

The opportunity is there.”

The opportunity at quarterback also is there.

Beathard is gone to graduation. Returning to the team and battling for the starting quarterback posi-

you were a catcher or a second baseman,” Yost said.

“If he was at second base, you’re hoping this guy hits a double instead of a single because you’d know you were going to get crushed at home plate. He’s a big guy.”

Burly in later years, Baylor was also known for speed as a younger player, including a career-high 52 steals with Oakland in 1976. He finished with 285 steals.

But on June 15, 1974, Baylor had the distinction of being the first player caught stealing twice in the same inning. He came in as a pinch-runner against the White Sox, was charged with a caught stealing at second when he was safe on an error, and after stealing third, was thrown out trying to steal home.

In his final three seasons, Baylor went to three straight World Series from 1986-88, winning the title and hitting one of his four postseason homers in Minnesota’s seven-game victory against St. Louis in 1987.

Baylor’s tying two-run shot in the fifth inning of Game 6 with the Twins trailing 3-2 in the Series fueled an 11-5 victory.

He was on losing teams with Boston in ‘86 and Oak-

land in ‘88. “Don used power and speed to earn American League MVP honors with the Angels in 1979 and contributed to three straight pennant winners in a great 19-year major league career,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said. “Throughout stints with 14 different major league teams as a player, coach or manager, Don’s reputation as a gentleman always preceded him,” he said.

Washington manager Dusty Baker became emotional talking about Baylor. They competed on the diamond starting as Double-A players and were close friends off the field. “His first wife picked out my first wife’s engagement ring,” Baker said. “First time I had ever gone to Baltimore was when we drove up to see Donnie.” “I was a better basketball player but he was a stronger baseball player,” Baker said. “I was just listening to Tupac today about death around the corner.

Indeed, you just don’t know how close death is to all of us.”

Baylor spent six years with Colorado and two-plus seasons as manager of the Chicago Cubs, from 2000-02.

His career record was 627689.

He was most recently the hitting coach for the Angels.

In 2014, while catching the first pitch from Vladimir Guerrero before the Angels’ season opener in Anaheim, Baylor backhanded the ball and wound up breaking his leg in an accident that’s still painful to watch on YouTube. True to his nature, with help, Baylor walked off the field.

“When a man of his integrity just walks through a clubhouse, it’s almost larger than life, because you know what he stands for,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.

“You know the bar he set not only for himself, but for a team, and I think it’s tangible.”

Baylor went to junior college before joining the Orioles organization, made his big league debut in 1970 and spent six years with Baltimore. After a year in the first of two stints with Oakland, Baylor played six seasons for the Angels.

Mostly a designated hitter but also an outfielder and first baseman, Baylor had at least 20 homers in three straight seasons for the Yankees before hitting 31 for the Red Sox in 1986. He was a career .260 hitter with 338 homers and 1,276 RBIs.

tion includes sophomore Nathan Stanley and junior Tyler Wiegers. Sophomore Ryan Boyle, who began his prep career in Newton, and freshman Peyton Mansell are two other quarterbacks on the roster. Stanley and Wiegers are neck and neck for the starting position in camp. Easley doesn’t think the team will drop off much if either one is under center.

“They’ve both done a really good job. I am not worried about who gets the job,” Easley said. “I think we’ll be Ok with either guy or both guys if we do that.”

What the Hawkeye offense does know is that it has one of the best offensive lines in the Big Ten with tackles Boone Myers and Ike Boettger, guard Sean Welsh and center James Daniels all returning. Keegan Render, who

prepped at Indianola, is expected to start at the other guard position.

Brian Ferentz also knows he has a stable group of running backs in Wadley and Butler as well as sophomore Toks Akinribade and redshirt freshman Toren Young.

“I could see us playing with three running backs on the field at the same time if that’s what it takes to win games,” Brian Ferentz said.

“We could also play with no one in the backfield.

It’s a challenge on our end.

We need to be open to put them in different spots.”

The Iowa offense is expected to feature a fullback and multiple tight ends in most of their sets. Senior Drake Kulick and sophomore Brady Ross are both back at fullback, and the tight end position is filled with talented players such

as Noah Fant, T.J. Hochenson, Peter Pekar, Nate Wieting, Jon Wisnieski, Shaun Beyer and Drew Cook.

The Iowa offense won’t change its culture as a whole, but Brian Ferentz will lean on the new guys on staff to bring in fresh ideas. Tim Polasek replaces Brian Ferentz as offensive line coach and former OC Ken O’Keefe is back in the program as the QBs coach.

“We have to be open to new ideas. Culturally we are not going to change. We are who we are,” Brian Ferentz said. ‘But there are different ideas for everything.

There are a lot of ways to skin a cat. And a lot of them work. We’d be crazy not to listen to new ideas from the new coaches, especially since they all were highly successful doing those things. They will influence us for sure.”

Afton couple to be inducted into Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame

TEST: CONT. FROM | 2A

“There are some regulations that go too far but this is not one of them,” Schumer told The Associated Press. “Repealing it will risk lives.”

When asked about the government’s contention that businesses could enact their own testing policies, the New York Democrat said: “Tell that to the families of the people who died in Spuyten Duyvil,” referring to the neighborhood where the Metro-North train crashed in 2013, killing four people.

Train engineers are cur-

rently required to undergo vision and hearing testing at least every three years.

Some railroads require annual physicals, but there are no federal standards for comprehensive medical exams. Many of the largest passenger railroads, including Amtrak, require engineers to undergo sleep apnea screening.

The Association of American Railroads, an industry group, said railroads are continuing to take steps to combat worker fatigue, including confidential sleep disorder screening and treatment.

Marc Willis, a spokesman for the FRA, said the agency sought information

from the public about sleep apnea and “believes that current railroad and FRA safety programs sufficiently address this risk.”

Feinberg said that isn’t sufficient and the government shouldn’t rely on industries regulating themselves.

A notice posted in the Federal Register said the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration would consider updating a 2015 bulletin to medical examiners about the physical qualifications standard and respiratory dysfunction. Duane DeBruyne, a spokesman for the agency, declined to answer questions about the NTSB’s concerns.

Trump looks to loyal voters as support slips, agenda stalls Contributed photo

Pictured are Jack and Mona Quee, from left, posing for a photo with a horse. Jack and Mona will be inducted into the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame during a 3 p.m. ceremony Aug. 20 at the Iowa State Fair.

DES MOINES — The 2017 Union County inductees into the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame are Jack and Mona Quee of Afton.

Jack and Mona have shared their passion for horses with three generations of 4-H youth in Union County and throughout Iowa. The Quees will be inducted into the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame during a 3 p.m. ceremony Aug. 20 in the 4-H building at the Iowa State Fair.

During the past 50 years, Jack and Mona have become well known in the community for stepping up to help wherever help is needed, from organizing food for Saddle Club trail rides to cooking in lunch stands during horse shows to chaperoning a throng of kids camping at the Iowa State Fair.

In 1970, they became leaders of the Horse and Riders 4-H club and were instrumental in the club’s formation and development. At the same time, Jack volunteered for the county 4-H horse committee. Though they relinquished their role as club leaders after 15 years, Jack and Mona continued to attend the club’s monthly meetings and practice sessions and, to this day, are there to share their wisdom through a demonstration, advice or story.

The couple remembers when horses were housed in tents at the Union County Fair, and they helped build the horse barn in 1970. They provide support, time and equipment to keep the arena in shape for shows and were instrumental in the recent refurbishing of the show arena.

Jack is always at the Union County Fair to help as a ring man, judge, gate opener or to do whatever else is needed, including providing a tractor and manure spreader for the past 47 years. Jack also ran the arena gates for the Iowa State Fair 4-H horse show.

“It was always a comfort knowing Jack was letting your kids into the ring at the state fair,” said Bruce Travis, a 4-H member when the Quees began as leaders and whose children, and now grandchil-

dren, benefit from Jack’s knowledge and patience.

“Jack is that friendly face to calm your nerves, and though he is never quick to give advice, when he does, it is always worthwhile.”

Though neither showed horses, both Jack and Mona began riding at an early age and they know the benefit of time in the saddle.

“Nothing can take the place of practice and time with a horse. It’s a lot of fun to watch these kids develop their skills, improve their confidence and grow up,” Jack said. “When we started, I didn’t know half as much about showing as I do now. I imagine we have gotten as much good out of helping the kids as they have from us.”

“4-H is a great way for kids to make friends and learn how to work togeth-

er. It teaches them about winning, losing and other life lessons,” said Mona.

“And they have fun.”

The retired couple raises horses on their farm near Afton and still enjoys time riding, including an annual trip to gather and move cattle from summer pastures in the Colorado mountains. They are active members of the Union County Saddle Club, serving many years as officers, and are members of Trinity Lutheran Church in Creston, where Jack served as a church elder. Their family includes daughter and son-in-law, Beth and Bruce Herzberg, three grandchildren, two great granddaughters and son, the late Lonnie Quee.

The Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame was initiated in 2002 to help commemorate the 100th anniversary of 4-H.

WASHINGTON (AP) — After six months of infighting, investigations and legislative failures, President Donald Trump is trying to combat new signs of weakness in his Republican base and re-energize his staunchest supporters.

White House officials have been urging the president to refocus on immigration and other issues that resonate with the conservatives, evangelicals and working-class whites who propelled him to the Oval Office. The president has ramped up his media-bashing via Twitter, long a successful tactic for Trump, and staged rallies hoping to marshal his base to his defense.

The effort underscores Trump’s shaky political positioning not yet seven months into his presidency.

Trump has remained deeply unpopular among Democrats, and there are signs that his support among Republicans may be softening.

His advisers are aware that a serious slip in support among his core voters could
