Council looks to fill open seat by appointment

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

The Newton City Council will look to fill the vacant council seat by appointment at its Aug. 7 meeting. The at-large seat opened with the resignation of councilwoman Lin Chapé on July 11.

“This is a position that will be done in December of this year,” councilwoman Evelyn George said.

According to Iowa Code, a city council may choose to fill the vacancy of a seat by appointment. In order to begin the process, council approved city staff to publish a notice of intent to

fill the seat by appointment.

Any citizen interested in the position must submit their name, address, phone number and a brief biographic history to the city clerk at city hall, 101 W. Fourth St. S., no later than 4:30 p.m. Aug. 1.

After reviewing all submissions, council will appointment

a temporary council member during its Aug. 7 meeting.

Councilman Craig Trotter questioned the reasoning behind appointment with the election less than four months away and the council still maintaining a quorum. According to Iowa Code, the council has a 60 day deadline to appoint someone to

Residents Relate: Ridiculous Races are really fun

7 teams compete Saturday in second annual Ridiculous Races

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News With an admonishment not to throw any elbows, Amanda Price sent her seven teams hunting through downtown Newton on Saturday for the Ridiculous Races. The event, sponsored by the Newton Chamber of Commerce, is a challenge that pits teams against each other while they visit local businesses and search for clues throughout the community.

Price, the executive director of the Newton Area Chamber of Commerce, said she created the event to help bring attention and awareness to local businesses in the community.

It also didn’t hurt that she’s a big fan of the CBS television show The Amazing Race.

“I’ve always been kind of obsessed with the show,” Price said. “I actually wish I was able to participate, it’s really fun making everything.”

This year, four local businesses participated in the Ri-

diculous Race, Mattingly Music and Book Store, Mojo Cycling, Fine Things Reclaimed, and E-Clips. With seven teams competing, Price has seen interest in the event nearly double in only two years.

While Price’s goal is for teams to have fun, she hopes by visiting local businesses, contestants will see something that brings them back into the business, creating more customers for local stores.

“We want to try and get people into these businesses, and get them more business,” Price said.

fill the seat before the process begins to hold a special election to fill the seat. The proximity of the election to the resignation does not have any barring on the council’s need to fill the seat.

For Brett Moffitt, there really is no place like home.

Moffit, a Grimes native and NASCAR Xfinity Series driver, was back in Iowa Thursday to meet with kids in Ankeny and check out the racecars that they’ve been building.

The program, part of the Ankeny Adventures Summer Camp, is designed to teach kids about STEM, while also demonstrating the real application of those skills.

STEM, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, is part of an initiative to increase those skills in students and to give them

a competitive edge. Nancy Jeffs, the director of Ankeny’s before and after school programs, said that helping students find fun ways to build their STEM skills is part of what the Ankeny Adventures Summer Camp is all about.

“We try to focus on enrichment labs that are hands on and fun,”Jeffs said.

“We want to connect to their regular life and school activities.”

This is the second year that participants in the camp have had a chance to interact with NASCAR. Last year campers took a field trip to the Iowa Speedway, and this year, after learning about friction, they designed and MOFFITT | 3A

Mad Science brings imaginative learning to NPL Kayla Langmaid/ Daily News Owner of Mad Science of Central Iowa Jim Birkel shows volunteers how to build an arch during the Mad Science program at the Newton Public Library.

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News The owner of Mad Science of Central Iowa brought a number of hands-on experiments to the Newton Public Library Friday as a part of the youth summer reading program.

More than 20 children and parents sat in awe of the many mini-explosions and demolitions constructed by Jim Birkel, owner of Mad Science of Central Iowa.

Birkel has visited the Newton Public Library five times before, but his enthusiasm for teaching children hasn’t altered.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Monday, July 24, the 205th day of 2017. There are 160 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 24, 1567, Mary, Queen of Scots was forced to abdicate by Scottish nobles in favor of her infant son James, who became King of Scotland at the age of one.

On this date: In 1862, Martin Van Buren, the eighth president of the United States, and the first to have been born a U.S. citizen, died at age 79 in Kinderhook, N.Y., the town where he was born in 1782.

In 1866, Tennessee became the first state to be readmitted to the Union after the Civil War. In 1959, during a visit to Moscow, Vice President Richard Nixon engaged in his famous “Kitchen Debate” with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.

In 1967, French President Charles de Gaulle stirred controversy during a visit to Montreal, Canada, when he declared, “Vive le Quebec libre!” (Long live free Quebec!)

In 1974, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that President Richard Nixon had to turn over subpoenaed White House tape recordings to the Watergate special prosecutor.

In 1998, a gunman burst into the U.S. Capitol, killing two police officers before being shot and captured. (The shooter, Russell Eugene Weston Jr., is being held in a federal mental facility.)

In 2002, nine coal miners became trapped in a flooded tunnel of the Quecreek Mine in western Pennsylvania; the story ended happily 77 hours later with the rescue of all nine.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush, speaking at Charleston Air Force Base in South Carolina, sought to justify the Iraq war by citing intelligence reports he said showed a link between al-Qaida’s operation in Iraq and the terror group that attacked the United States on September 11, 2001.

Five years ago: In his first foreign policy speech since emerging as the likely Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney called for an independent investigation into claims the White House had leaked national security information for President Barack Obama’s political gain; the White House replied that the president “has made abundantly clear that he has no tolerance for leaks.”

One year ago: Thousands of demonstrators took to Philadelphia’s sweltering streets, cheering, chanting and beating drums in the first major protests ahead of the Democratic National Convention. Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.

Today’s Birthdays Actor John Aniston is 84. Political cartoonist Pat Oliphant is 82. Actor Chris Sarandon is 75. Comedian Gallagher is 71.

That’s Odd That stinks!

Man seeking dropped phone falls in trash WASHINGTON (AP) — A man looking for a dropped cellphone ended up in a stinky situation, tumbling into a building’s trash chute where he had to be rescued.

Washington, D.C., Fire Spokesman Vito Maggiolo says the man was throwing out trash at an apartment building when he thought he dropped the cellphone in the chute. Maggiolo says the man leaned in to check and fell inside.

Maggiolo says the man was able to call 911 from inside the trash chute around 3 a.m. Sunday, though it wasn’t clear what phone he used. A video posted online shows firefighter rescue crews pumping fresh air down the chute to the man through a hose.

Reasnor man arrested following alleged break-in, gunfire Newton Daily News A Reasnor man is facing multiple charges after he allegedly broke into his family’s home in rural Jasper County and fired a handgun inside a bedroom.

Moffitt Continued from Page 1A built their own racecars to test them on a track provided by the Speedway.

Jeffs said that having Moffitt in attendance was the icing on the cake for students. For Jeffs, giving students a chance to get up close and personal with a fellow Iowan who’s chasing his dreams was a way to show students that anything is possible.

“Kids see NASCAR on television, and they might think ‘I can’t do that’, so it’s really great to have a local guy here,” Jeffs said. “He grew up just like us, and look where he is now.”

For Moffitt, who got his start in racing running go karts when he

No one was injured during the incident.

VanRees faces charges of first-degree burglary, going armed with intent, intimidation with a dangerous weapon and first-degree harassment.

VanRees was arrested and taken to the Jasper County Jail where he was released on $10,000 bond.

“It makes my day better to come here and see these kids building race cars,” Moffit said.

“Just to have a chance to give back to the community that’s supported me so much is great.”

Moffitt also announced on Thursday he has secured a ride in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race this weekend in Newton, behind the wheel of the #96 GMS Racing Chevrolet Camaro. For Moffitt,

who’s been looking for a ride since Red Horse Racing closed up shop in February of this year, the chance to come home and compete in front of family and friends was irresistible.

“It feels great,” Moffitt said. “To be back in my home state, that means a lot, and it feels good to be back racing.”

While this is a oneshot deal designed to pair Moffitt and local sponsors to bring him back to his home track, Iowa Speedway, Moffitt is hoping that this opportunity will be just what needs to jumpstart his career.

“I’m going to try to win, and hopefully open some doors,” Moffitt said.

David Dolmage/Daily News Bryan and Robyn Friedman, with their two sons, Leo, and Isaac, pose for a photo after winning the second running of the Ridiculous Races, held Saturday in downtown Newton.

As he watched teams throw a frisbee disc into the a basket at his shop to claim their prize, Urias said the real value of the event was just getting people into the door.

“I don’t know if these people will come back or not,” Urias said. “But hopefully they’ll tell their friends, and word of mouth is everything in a small community like this. You can’t buy that kind of advertising.”

When Bryan Friedman found out about the Ridiculous Race, he thought it sounded like so much fun that he talked his entire family into competing, even his teenage son,

Isaac. Friedman’s wife Robyn rustled up matching costumes for the entire family, including a set of sparkly vests, which she bought at the Newton Community Theatre garage sale for a $1 each. The Friedman’s praised Price for her efforts in creating the event.

“Amanda has been a fantastic ambassador for downtown businesses,” Bryan Friedman said. “It’s great to have her in Newton.”

Robyn Friedman said the event was so much fun, they’d definitely plan on coming back next year to defend their championship.

“I loved how the businesses came up with creative challenges, this was just a lot of fun,” Robyn Friedman said.

Bison Day at Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge Kayla Langmaid/Daily News Owner of Mad Science of Central Iowa Jim Birkel shows one volunteer how to perfectly demolish a tower of blocks. Birkel explained the importance of demolishing and constructing at the Newton Public Library Friday.

Science Continued from Page 1A Birkel also explained the importance of building “green” and sustainably.

Youth services librarian Phyllis Peter said she, too, learned a lot from listening to Birkel’s presentation.

“I think this a great program for kids at this age,” Peter said. “We made it for kids five and

up so that way they could understand the concepts.”

Birkel said he has been visiting small towns across the Midwest for 13 years as the Mad Science guy.

Birkel said he has a bachelor of arts degree in forestry and science is a big part of that.

“I’m a small town guy myself and my job is to bring Mad Science to small towns,” Birkel said.

“I purposefully promote in the summer time when

children are able to attend.”

Birkel said when he visits libraries he likes to stress the importance of reading programs and encourages children to be interested in science.

“Keep working on your reading program, and you can achieve anything you want to do in life,” Birkel said.

Stack this!

D

o you know the second place score in this year’s impromptu Jasper County Fair adult Oreo stacking contest? I do, it’s 23. How do I know? Because it’s my score.

The record is 27. That’s an almost impossible feat. A column of chocolate, creme filled sandwich cookies is wobbly and unpredictable. Let’s not forget environmental factors — the tick of the 1 minute countdown clock; the stacker across the table giving me the “I’m watching you” sign; and the

Trending Mike Mendenhall cheerleading section of 12-year-olds rallying for their mom. Oreo stacking is serious business.

The key is gravity. You can’t stack all the Oreos straight up, because not every Oreo is the same. There are subtle differences in weight and shape. To stack a stable Oreo tower it’s important to have a strong base. Some of the cookies might need to be staggered to

keep the weight even. A double stuffed thrown into the pan can throw you completely off balance. Oreo stacking is about physics. It’s also unadulterated fun.

There is always the risk the stack could fall. The important thing is to rebuild quickly and don’t let broken cookies slow you down. Just get a new cookie. Even a single crack in a wafer could spell structural collapse. If that Nabisco tower tumbles it’s important not to glance at your competitor’s stacks, even in the periphery. Focus on what’s in front of you.

When the final whistle blows, the

suspense isn’t done. Volunteers removed the Oreos one by one, counting each cookie until a winner is crowned.

The event was started several years ago to continue the fair’s expansion of open class contest and its overall appeal beyond the agricultural community. It worked for me.

When the open class volunteer who runs Oreo stacking randomly called me out for our just-for-fun “Grand Stack” competition, I said yes quicker than you can say “twist, lick and dunk.”

Eye on America John Stossel

Loving animals to death

We need to sell more rhino horns, quickly.

That may be the only way to save rhinos from extinction. Today, rhinos vanish because poachers kill them for their horns. Businesses turn their horns into ornaments or quack health potions.

Some horns sell for $300,000. No wonder poachers risk their lives for one. How do you fight an incentive that strong?

Flood the market!

That’s a solution suggested by Matthew Markus.

Markus’s biotech company can make artificial rhino horn in a laboratory that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.

Put enough of that lab-grown horn on the market and supply and demand will bring the price way down.

Then poachers won’t risk getting killed trying to steal real rhino horn.

“One way to devalue something is to create a lot of it,” said Markus. “When things are abundant, people don’t kill.”

South Africa tried a mild version of this solution once. For 20 years, they made it legal to own rhinos and sell their horns.

Poaching dropped because legal rhino farming took away the poachers’ incentive. Rhino farmers bred rhinos and protected them. Once in a while, they’d put rhinos to sleep with tranquilizer darts and saw off their horns. The horns grow back. The rhino population quadrupled.

Win-win.

But animal welfare activists are never happy with any solution that involves profiting from nature. South Africa banned sales of rhino horn again. Poaching rose 9,000 percent from 2007 to 2014, according to the World Wildlife Fund.

Now South Africa is considering legalization again, but they will have to fight the NGOs. Some, like Humane Society International, even oppose sale of that artificial horn. They asked the U.S. government to block a shipment of a sample of rhino DNA that might have created better artificial horn.

I confronted the Humane Society’s spokeswoman about that. Our interview will be one of the first videos for my new project: “Stossel on Reason.” I will post videos weekly on Facebook, Twitter and Reason TV. We start this week.

In this first story, the Humane Society’s Masha Kalinina passionately argues against re-legalizing rhino farming and the sale of artificial horn.

“This is dangerous! Absolutely dangerous for rhinos and their survival,” she says. “This is greenwashing an illegal activity. ... The problem is that people still see animals as commodities, natural resources for their use!”

Yes. And why is that a problem? I eat eggs and chicken, and I drink milk. More chickens and cows are alive because people like me pay for them or what they produce.

Kalinina replied: “Are we really going to farm every single animal on this planet so we can continue endlessly supplying this bloodlust and thirst of people to consume wildlife products?”

Give me a break. Farming isn’t “bloodlust.”

South African farmer John Hume says each of his 1,500 rhinos has 12 acres of land in which to run around. Every two years he trims their horns. That procedure is painless enough that even environmental groups perform it on wild rhinos to discourage poachers.

The Humane Society claims legalization won’t stop poaching. Kalinina points out that elephant ivory trading was once made partly legal, and it “started up a new carving industry in China.” Demand increased when supply increased, she said.

But that was hardly real legalization. Just a few oneoff sales were allowed. To really bring down the price, you’d need a consistent supply of cheap horns. Artificial horn could provide that.

The Humane Society rejects that solution. Instead, they run ads that say rhino horn is not good medicine.

It’s fine to try to educate people, but legal rhino farming and artificial horn are much better ideas.

People respond faster to price signals than lectures from the Humane Society or regulations that impoverished African nations barely enforce.

Jimmy John’s, Casey’s and HyVee provided dinner entrées for each night.

Reminder to stay safe in the sun Many Iowans have felt the effects of skin cancer. If detected and removed early, skin cancer is almost always curable. Our family was fortunate in that my wife’s cancer was caught early and had not spread, but there are many who are not that lucky.

It is a frightening trend that over the past three decades, more people have had skin cancer than all other cancers combined. Skin cancer now ranks as the most common of all cancers, including over 5.4 million cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer diagnoses each year in people of all skin colors and ethnicities.

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, there are a few simple steps folks can take to protect themselves. They include

As a member of the House Cancer Caucus, I firmly believe it is vital that all Iowans have access to life-saving preventative measures. I am proud to

I will also continue to fight for vital research funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to find a cure for this terrible disease.

July is recognized as Skin Cancer Awareness month, but it is something that we must be aware of year round. It is important to wear sun screen and continue self-exams to spot any differences throughout the year.

This month, let’s save lives by raising awareness about early detection and prevention of skin cancer.

Son’s drug habit causes crisis in mother’s marriage

DEAR ABBY: I have been married to a loving and supportive man for 15 years. We have been through a lot together and, for the most part, have been OK. My problem is my son, “Kyle.”

Yes, I know Kyle is a liar who steals anything not nailed down. And yes, he needs help for his drug habit — but he is still my son.

My husband told me I either tell Kyle he is not welcome in our home or our marriage is over, so I gave him back my wedding ring. I refuse to tell my son he can’t come over.

What do I do now? I don’t want to lose my husband, but I refuse to lose my son as well. — TORN IN TWO IN TULSA DEAR TORN IN TWO: If you love your son and your husband and value your marriage, you will tell your husband you spoke hastily and ask for the ring back. Then, you will finally put your foot down and stop enabling Kyle to continue his drug habit.

Tell Kyle he is no longer welcome in the house, and will be welcome to cross your threshold ONLY if he has completed rehab and is willing to make amends. This is called creating boundaries. It may be painful, but it is important that you find the strength and courage to do this because your son’s life may depend on it.

DEAR ABBY: I recently graduated from college, and like a lot of fresh graduates, I had difficulty finding employment for several months. However, I was just offered a position far better than anything I could have asked for. This position is much closer to my dream job than a simple entry-level one, and I am over-the-moon happy.

The problem is my partner, “Gavin.”

Gavin graduated the semester before I did. He was in a different degree program, and he’s still without a job.

He applies for dozens of jobs a day, gets at least one interview a week, and

then, after they ask about his less-thanstellar GPA, he never hears from them again. He has become increasingly frustrated about his inability to find employment in his field, and recently has been projecting his frustration on our relationship.

I want to be able to celebrate my accomplishment with my partner. I need Gavin’s support and excitement for me over this new position, but I’m torn because every time I tell him a new detail about it, I can see in his face how upset he is. What can I do so I am not compromising my happiness trying not to upset him? — WORKING WOMAN IN ORLANDO, FLA. DEAR WORKING WOMAN: The first thing I’d recommend is, out of respect for your partner’s sensitive feelings, to refrain from crowing about your jubilation. It may take Gavin a while to find the job he’s looking for in his field, or he may have to consider taking something outside of his field until he can network enough to find his dream job.

No two people’s career paths are the same. Witness the Hollywood marriages in which one spouse becomes successful more quickly than the other.

However, if you and Gavin are sensitive to each other’s feelings — and mature — you can make it through this challenging period.

found in eastern Iowa river

INDEPENDENCE — The body of a truck driver who crashed into the Wapsipinicon River near Independence in eastern Iowa has been found.

The body of Michael Wallace was found in the river over the weekend. The 58-yearold was a resident of Hazelcrest, Ill. Wallace’s delivery truck was found by kayakers Friday morning. It was mostly submerged with no sign of the driver.

The Iowa State Patrol is still investigating the circumstances of the crash.

The attack occurred late Sunday afternoon. Police say 36-year-old Vincent Walker was confronted and then assaulted by several people. Police say he was taken to a Sioux City hospital for treatment of several wounds but died there.

Authorities say Walker lived in Winnebago, Neb. Police say they’re looking for at least one man suspected of killing Walker.

3 RAGBRAI route taking riders to Algona after night in Spencer

SPENCER — Riders on the Des Moines Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa are headed to Algona on Monday.

The ride began Sunday in Orange City and ended the day in Spencer.

Jenon Scallon co-chaired publicity for Orange City’s RAGBRAI committee, and she expressed awe at watching Orange City, which has about 6,200 residents, nearly quadruple in size.

Eric Tigges is executive co-chair on Spencer’s RAGBRAI committee, and he told the Sioux City Journal that “riders came in pretty happy and excited.”

2 Motorcyclists killed in south Iowa head-on collision

LINEVILLE — Authorities say two people have died in the head-on collision of their motorcycles in southern Iowa.

The accident occurred around 10 p.m. Saturday a few miles northwest of Lineville.

The Iowa State Patrol says 29-yearold Alex Naylor was headed south on the wrong side of a gravel road when he crashed into a northbound motorcycle driven by 33-year-old Cody Evans.

Jones has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of 46-year-old cab driver Ricky Ray Lillie, who was found dead June 28 in his cab.

Jones was arrested June 30.

Dubuque finishes portion of flood-mitigation project DUBUQUE (AP) — The completion of a $60 million project should mean thousands of eastern Iowa residents will no longer need to fear frequent flooding and can enjoy other improvements, including a new trail system.

The City of Dubuque recently completed its Upper Bee Branch Creek restoration project.

Construction began in 2015 and finished about three months early and $800,000 under budget. The project includes a creek and flood

Iowa officials hope $5.7M development will draw businesses COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — Officials and merchants in Council Bluffs hope a $5.7 million development in the western Iowa city’s key commercial district may help attract businesses from Omaha, Neb. The Rise residential and commercial building is set to open next spring in Council Bluffs. The almost 27,000-square-foot project will have 24 apartments, ground-level retail and dining space.

The building will feature a contemporary style to help attract a young population, said Ryan Spellman of J Development, a partner in the project.

“It’s intended to be forward-looking,” he said. “It represents the future of Council Bluffs.”

Spellman said the one-bedroom units will lease for between $850 and $950. A nearby apartment complex, called the Sawyer, opened two years ago and already has all 36 apartment full. Spellman said he doesn’t anticipate having a problem finding interested occupants for the Rise.

The project is part of a larger effort to revitalize the area, said Lori Shields, a spokeswoman for the Council Bluffs Area Chamber of Commerce. Construction is almost complete on a new YMCA facility. The Iowa West Field House, which holds youth activities and downtown bike nights, recently opened.

Officials in both Nebraska and Iowa said they hope the projects will create a stronger Omaha-Council Bluffs metropolitan area.

plain stretching nearly 2,000-foot (610 meters) that’s intended to mitigate flooding.

“Often, cities look at stormwater problems and immediately conclude, ‘We just need to build bigger pipes and get rid of the water fast-

er,’” said Mark Schouten, Iowa Flood Mitigation Board chairman.

“Unfortunately, that approach solves some problems but creates others.”

The city instead created a system that preserves the area’s natural

resources, he said.

More than half of the city’s residents live or work within the watershed, which has suffered heavy losses from flooding over the years.

Local resident Audrey Morey said she’s lost a furnace, water heater

and personal items in flooding over the years.

She said the project “represents a safer and a better life.”

The project also created a trail system, walking paths, scenic overlooks and a play area with slides.

Iowa restaurants turn to technology to improve business DUBUQUE (AP) — With razor-thin profit margins, never-ending competition and ever-expanding overhead costs, tri-state restaurateurs are turning to technology to keep their businesses sunny-side up.

Dozens of new point-ofsale systems and software programs descend on the market every year, each promising to reduce waste and automate ordering.

But, to a Dubuque restaurant leader, the most important thing is to keep your ordering practices consistent and thoughtful.

“What I find works best is to use your POS for reports on what is used and get an idea what your top sellers are (and) what’s not performing so well,” said Mike Bries, general manager at Barrel House in Dubuque. “Then use good, old-fashioned thinking when you make your orders.”

A recent Ohio State University study reported that

Telegraph Herald Photo Barrel House uses an Inventory management system to lower food waste. Mike Brles, general manager of the Dubuque restaurant, adds that it’s best to use the system with ·good, old-fashioned thinking when making your orders.”

60 percent of new restaurants don’t make it through a year. About 80 percent are out of business within five years.

Bries, who has owned three restaurants and a bar, said the Barrel House averages about 3,000 paying customers each week. The

business uses an inventory management system called Harbor Touch and pays for service on the system when needed.

“You pay a pretty penny for service on these (machines),” Bries said.

“But when the system goes down at 6 o’clock on a Fri-

day night, you’re not completely out of luck.”

He said keeping track of the fixed quantity of inventory that must be on hand for daily operations is key to making sure food isn’t wasted, as well as ensuring the business doesn’t run out of food.

Suspect due in court Monday after 9 die in sweltering truck SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Nine people are dead and the death toll could rise after emergency crews pulled dozens of people from a sweltering tractor-trailer found parked outside a Walmart in the midsummer Texas heat, victims of what officials said was an immigrant-smuggling attempt gone wrong.

The driver was arrested, and nearly 20 others taken from the rig were hospitalized in dire condition, many with extreme dehydration and heatstroke, officials said Sunday.

“We’re looking at a human-trafficking crime,” said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus, calling it “a horrific tragedy.”

One U.S. official said Sunday evening that 17 of those rescued were being treated for injuries that were considered life-threatening. The official spoke to The Associated Press

on condition of anonymity because the information has not been publicly released.

Authorities were called to the San Antonio parking lot late Saturday or early Sunday and found eight people dead inside the truck. A ninth victim died at the hospital, said Liz Johnson, spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The victims “were very hot to the touch. So these people were in this trailer without any signs of any type of water,” San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood said.

Authorities would not say whether the trailer was locked when they arrived, but they said it had no working air conditioning.

It was just the latest smuggling-by-truck operation to end in tragedy. In one of the worst cases on record in the U.S., 19 immigrants locked inside a stifling rig died in Victo-

ria, Texas, in 2003.

Based on initial interviews with survivors of the San Antonio tragedy, more than 100 people may have been packed into the back of the 18-wheeler at one point in its journey, ICE acting Director Thomas Homan said. Officials said 39 people were inside when rescuers arrived, and the rest were believed to have escaped or hitched rides to their next destination.

Four of the survivors appeared to be between 10 and 17 years old, Homan said. Investigators gave no details on where the rig began its journey or where it was headed.

But Homan said it was unlikely the truck was used to carry the immigrants across the border into the United States. He said people from Latin America who rely on smuggling networks typically cross the border on foot and are then picked up by a driver.

“Even though they have the driver in custody, I can guarantee you there’s going to be many more people we’re looking for to prosecute,” Homan said.

Mexican Consul General in San Antonio Reyna Torres said Mexican nationals were among the survivors and those who died on the rig.

The Mexican government also released a statement Sunday night expressing its condolences to the relatives of those who died and called for an “exhaustive investigation” A Guatemalan official said two natives of Central American country were among those hospitalized. Consul Cristy Andrino in McAllen said the two told her they had crossed into the U.S. on foot and were later picked up by the rig.

Guatemala was seeking to obtain witness status for the two survivors so they wouldn’t be deported, Andrino said.

Federal prosecutors said James Mathew Bradley Jr., 60, of Clearwater, Florida, was taken into custody and would be charged on Monday in federal court. The local U.S. Attorney’s Office wouldn’t say whether Bradley was the alleged driver of the truck who was arrested. It was not immediately known whether Bradley had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.

The U.S. Homeland Security Department stepped in to take the lead in the investigation. Department Secretary John Kelly said the deaths demonstrate the brutality of smuggling organizations that “have no regard for human life and seek only profits.”

The truck had an Iowa license plate and was registered to Pyle Transportation Inc. of Schaller, Iowa. A company official did not immediately respond to a phone message seeking comment.

Surgical podiatrist to join Newton Clinic Jeffrey Olson, D.P.M., is excited to get patients back up on their feet when he starts working at Newton Clinic and Skiff Medical Center next month.

As a doctor of podiatric medicine, Olson specializes in all things related to the foot and ankle. His offerings range from those in the clinic, such as plantar fasciitis injections, wart removal and ingrown toenail treatments, to those in the operating room, including fractures of the foot and ankle, bunions and even amputations.

“Basically any pathology of the foot and ankle is something I’ll be able to take care of right here at the clinic or the hospital,” Olson said. “People won’t have to drive somewhere else for those services.”

Having been an athlete in both high school and college, Olson had an early appreciation for the importance of foot

health and, c o n v e r s e l y, how foot pain can hinder quality of life.

“I had always felt the call to help others,” he said. “We had a family friend Olson in podiatry, and I realized that would be a great fit for what I was interested in and wanted to do.”

Olson grew up outside of the Seattle area and got his undergraduate degree in exercise science in Oregon, but he swapped the west coast for the midwest when he attended Des Moines University for podiatric medical school.

“I fell in love with Iowa immediately,” he said. “The people are nice, genuine and kind. The overall feeling is one of family.

Even the extremes of weather were a nice change after Seattle’s rain. Coming to Iowa felt like home.”

Residency took Olson out of Iowa for a while, when he moved to Michigan for three additional years of training in podiatric medicine and surgery. He knew, however, he wanted to return to Iowa to establish his career.

“While I was in medical school in Des Moines, I met my wife at church,” he said.

“She has family in Ankeny and the greater Des Moines area, so we thought it would be great to start our own family near hers.”

Newton quickly caught his eye as a place he might practice medicine. In addition to its proximity to his in-laws, he liked the idea of being part of a large, independent clinic.

“When I looked at the physician roster, I saw tenures of

Gov. Reynolds, Lt. Gov. Gregg encourage nominations for Iowa Job Honor Awards DES MOINES — Gov. Kim Reynolds and Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg encouraged Iowans Thursday to make nominations for the fourth annual Iowa Job Honor Awards.

The Iowa Job Honor Awards celebrate “a new kind of hero”—Iowans who overcome obstacles to employment and

the employers who hire them. Each top employee honoree will receive $500. Winners in both the employee and employer categories will receive engraved awards.

The awards will be presented at the Iowa Society for Human Resource Management Conference at Hy-Vee Hall in Des

Moines on Oct. 12.

America’s Job Honor Awards was founded in Iowa in 2014 and is spreading across the Midwest. Previous employee honorees have overcome disabilities, criminal convictions and language barriers. Nominations can be made online at through July 31.

10 years, 15 years, 20 years,” he said. “I liked that this was a practice and a community where people want to put down roots and stay for the long haul.”

He said he also appreciates the close relationship with the hospital, which will also serve as a great benefit to patients.

“I’ll be sending patients over to the Radiology department for CTs and MRIs, I’ll be sending them downstairs for physical therapy, and I’ll be working with the many of the other physicians in other specialties to provide the best care for my patients. Plus, when my colleagues refer patients to me, I can just walk down the hallway to consult with them. If my patients need to be seen by me on a regular basis, they can make a five-minute drive each week, instead of a 45-minute one to Des Moines. The continuity

​Iowa adds 11,200 jobs in June DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased slightly to 3.2 percent for June. The state’s jobless rate was 3.8 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate rose to 4.4 percent in June.

“Iowa businesses experienced unusually high job growth in June,” said Beth Townsend, Iowa Workforce Development Director. “Annual growth in the state has been weak since the beginning of the year; however, this month’s expansion in total nonfarm employment helped solidify improvements in Iowa’s job market including growth in the service industry, manufacturing and financial services.”

The number of unemployed Iowans increased to 53,600 in June.

The current estimate is 10,500 lower than the year ago level of 64,100.

The total number of working Iowans decreased to 1,633,100 in June.

This figure was 2,900 lower than May and 3,200 lower than one year ago.

Seasonally Adjusted Nonfarm Employment Iowa establishments displayed strong hiring in June and added 11,200 jobs. This month’s increase is historically large and due to both gains in private and public sectors.

Industries that are seasonal in nature all grew this month with the largest increases being in recreation and eating and drinking establishments. Government also added jobs this month (+4,000) with gains being largely attributable to local governments. Compared to last year, government is now up 600 jobs, whereas private sectors have now advanced by 25,000 jobs following this month’s surge.

Leisure and hospitality added the most jobs this month (+3,100). This was the largest increase among private sectors and breaks a string of seasonal losses stretching back to January. Restaurants and drinking establishments helped boost employment in accommodations and food services this month (+2,000).

Starting Aug. 1, Olson will see patients in the clinic on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and will have scheduled time in the operating room on Tuesdays, with flexibility to attend to urgent surgeries as needed.

As busy as he plans his practice to become, he doesn’t use his off time for laziness. He enjoys training for triathlons, a hobby he picked up during medical school as a break from studying. He and his wife, Rachel, also have a son, Luke, who will soon celebrate his first birthday. The family of three has just moved into their home in southwest corner of town, and they are excited to start getting involved in the community.

Fourteen area athletes land on all-HOIC softball teams

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News C ollins-Maxwell/Baxter and Prairie City-Monroe were two of the best teams in the Heart of Iowa Conference this past season.

For their efforts, seven players from each squad earned all-HOIC softball honors.

The Raiders, who won their second straight and final HOIC title with just one loss, placed seniors Abbey Kahler and Mikayla Eslinger and freshman on the first team, sophomore Hannah Caple and senior Megan Ritter were second-team selections and freshman Holly Jessen and junior Katie Camp were honorable mention picks.

For PCM, seniors Jayci Vos, Kayla Jennings and Abby Waddell earned first-team recognition, while seniors Katie Vande Wall and Courtney Bridges were second-team picks. Earning honorable mention recognition were senior Brooke Nicholson and junior Madison Foster.

A big reason CMB claimed a second straight conference title was because it has two of the best pitchers in the league.

Houge earned first-team honors as a pitcher, while Kahler was a utility selection, but both players pitched well in conference play.

Houge was undefeated on the season at 15-0. She went 7-0 in HOIC games with an earned run average of 1.71. She struck out 62 and walked 11 in 45 innings pitched.

The Raider freshman was the only pitcher in 2A with more than 10 starts to go undefeated in the circle. Overall, she finished 15-0 with an ERA of 0.97, which ranked third in Class 2A. Houge also struck out 148 batters in 94 innings.

Houge was the Raiders’ top hitter, finishing with an average of .421. She finished with two home runs, 27 RBIs and 11

doubles. In HOIC play, Houge hit a conference-best .523 with 13 RBIs and eight walks.

Kahler was 7-1 in the circle during HOIC play this season.

Her conference ERA of 0.94 was tops in the league, and she fanned 69 and walked only nine in 52 innings. Offensively in conference play, Kahler hit .386 with 17 runs, 18 RBIs and a HOIC-best nine walks.

Overall, Kahler, who will play for Wartburg College next season, finished with a .337 batting average, three home runs and 32 RBIs. In the circle, Kahler finished 10-6 with an ERA of 2.06. She struck out 137 batters in 97 1/3 innings pitched.

Eslinger was the final firstteam pick for the Raiders, making the team as an infielder. She finished her final season with a batting average of .326 and hit five home runs, drove in 25, scored 23 times and drew 13 walks.

In conference play, Eslinger batted .279 with three home runs, 12 RBIs and 12 runs scored.

Jennings joined Houge as a first-team pitcher. Jennings, who will play with Vos at DMACC next season, was 9-3 in the league this season. Her ERA of 1.30 ranked second, and she struck out a leaguehigh 85 batters in 81 innings.

Overall, she was 13-9 with an ERA of 1.87. She struck out 139 batters in 142 1/3 innings pitched.

At the plate, Jennings hit .416. She scored 15 runs and hit two home runs with 22 RBIs. The average improved to .426 during conference play, and she drove in 11 and drew five walks.

Vos joined Eslinger as a first-team infielder. The Mustang senior led the team with a batting average of .472. She scored 39 runs, stole 18 bases

SOUTHPORT, England (AP) — During one of Jordan Spieth’s many low points Sunday in the British Open, his caddie reminded him of a photo from a Mexico beach holiday two weeks ago that showed him in All-Star company that included Michael Phelps and Michael Jordan.

The message: “You belong in that group.”

Spieth left little doubt with a closing performance that ranks among the greatest finishes in major championship history.

Kahne ends drought at marathon Brickyard 400 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Kasey Kahne survived a crash-marred Brickyard 400 on Sunday for his first NASCAR Cup victory in nearly three years.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver won under caution in the race that took more than six hours to complete, finally finishing in fading light after 167 laps and double overtime.

Brad Keselowski was second.

Afterward, Kahne went to Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s infield medical center.

Series officials didn’t say what he was being treated for but other drivers said the temperatures inside the cars topped 130 degrees.

It was a wild day at Indianapolis Motor Speedway with Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. — driving the two fastest cars — going out in a crash with 49 laps to go.

That was only a prelude the nutty final 20 laps that included five crashes, two of which brought out red flags.

Busch looked as if he would make history as the first driver to win three consecutive Brickyards when he led the first 71 laps — and 87 overall. But when Truex’s car slid up the track, both cars hit the wall.

That opened the door for Kahne, who had struggled all season.

And as the crashes happened behind, Kahne overcame muscle cramps to hold on for his 18th career victory and first since Atlanta in August 2014.

The race was red-flagged with 10 laps to go after Kurt

Continued from Page 1B and had 18 RBIs. Her on base percentage was .521.

In conference play, Vos batted .483 with a conference-high 21 runs, nine RBIs and seven stolen bases. She got on base more than 53 percent of the time.

The final first-team selection for the Mustangs was Waddell, who landed on the team as a utility player.

Waddell batted .355 overall with 21 runs, 19 RBIs and seven walks.

In conference play, the average rose to .429, which was second behind Vos in HOIC play. She also scroed 11 runs, hit two home runs and collected 15 RBIs. Caple and Bridges were both second-team selections as catcher for their respective teams.

Caple hit .350 overall and

Spieth

Continued from Page 1B thanks to a shot from the driving range — the 23-year-old Texan followed with a birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie stretch that allowed him to close with a 1-under 69 and win the British Open by three shots over Matt Kuchar.

Spieth captured the third leg of the career Grand Slam and heads to the PGA Championship next month with a chance to be the youngest to win them all.

“This is as much of a high as I’ve ever experienced in my golfing life,” Spieth said.

And it all started in a spot so dire it looked as though he would endure another major meltdown.

The break of the tournament — and a moment that will rate alongside Seve Ballesteros making birdie from the car park when he won at Royal Lytham & St. Annes in 1979 — was when Spieth discovered the range was part of the course.

His tee shot was so far to the right on the par-4 13th hole that it sailed some 75

Busch, Erik Jones and Clint Bowyer collided coming out of the fourth turn.

On the ensuing restart, Kyle Larson hit the wall on the front straightaway to bring out another caution.

Things went awry once more when Jimmie Johnson, Keselowski and Kahne tried to go three-wide through the third turn on what was supposed to be the second-to-last lap. But Johnson’s smoking car spun and slammed into the wall, forcing overtime.

“I wouldn’t call it an absurdity, I just think it was a crazy race,” Keselowski said.

“There was some crazy strategy.”

And after Trevor Bayne’s car got sideways with two laps left in the first overtime, another red flag came out and another overtime began.

But the race still wasn’t over.

With the sun setting and no lights at the track, Kahne barely made it to the overtime line as another multi-car

pileup occurred behind him to bring out the last of the 14 cautions to seal the win.

The race had a little of everything — a 1-hour, 47-minute rain delay, 130-degree temperatures inside the cars and plenty of crashes.

None seemed like they would be bigger than the took out the two race leaders, Trues and Busch — the de facto Joe Gibbs Racing teammates.

For the first two-thirds of the race, it looked as if Busch would make history with his

third straight victory at the track.

But when Truex’s car started to spin on Lap 111, everything changed. Truex tapped Busch’s No. 18 car, sending both into the wall and flames shooting out of the bottom of Truex’s car.

Neither driver was seriously hurt, but neither appreciated with the result — especially since they are de facto teammates with Joe Gibbs Racing.

“That’s the way it goes,” Busch said. “Just chalk it up to another one we found a way to lose.”

For Busch, it was a devastating blow.

After becoming the first Cup driver to capture backto-back Brickyard poles since Ernie Irvan in 1997 and 1998 and extending his streak from last year to 181 consecutive laps led at Indy, he couldn’t snap the 12-month winless streak.

The only racers with three straight wins at Indy are former Formula One star Michael Schumacher, who won the U.S. Grand Prix four consecutive times, and Marc Marquez, who won three straight MotoGP titles at Indy. Both won their titles on the track’s road course.

Nobody has won three in a row on Indy’s historic oval.

Busch won the first stage by 0.544 seconds and the second by 4.205 seconds — both over Truex.

“I just got loose and wrecked him. It was totally my fault,” Truex said. “We worked well together and that’s the hard part.”

Inside conference play, Ritter scored 14 runs, stole

yards from the fairway and settled in thick grass on a dune so steep he could hardly stand up, let alone take a swing. The only smart option was to take a one-shot penalty for an unplayable lie.

And that’s when Spieth showed his golfing brain is as valuable as any club in his bag.

He had the presence to ask if the driving range was out of bounds. It wasn’t, which allowed him to go back in a straight line from the flag until he was on the range among the equipment trucks. After getting free relief from them, he still faced a blind shot over the dunes to a hole littered by pot bunkers. He hit 3-iron just short of a bunker near the green , pitched over it to about 7 feet and made what he considers the most important putt of the day to escape with bogey.

And then came the finishing kick like Phelps, the goahead jumper like Jordan.

Spieth hit 6-iron to the 14th that landed in front of the flag and came within inches of an ace, leading to a short birdie putt to regain the lead.

On the par-5 15th, he rolled in a 50-foot eagle putt and

playfully barked at caddie Michael Greller to pick it out of the cup. “Go get that,” he said, pointing to the hole.

And he wasn’t done.

Spieth rolled in a 30-foot putt across the 16th green for a two-shot lead, and he kept that margin by pouring in a 7-foot putt to match birdies with Kuchar.

The final putt for par was a tap-in, as easy a shot as he had all day.

“To follow that bogey on 13 with great golf shots and great putts, and play the final five holes in 5-under par, I was just very happy for him and very impressed to watch all that guts, determination and skill,” Jack Nicklaus posted on Facebook.

Spieth and Jack Nicklaus are the only players to win three different majors at age 23.

“This is a dream come true for me,” Spieth said, gazing at his name on the silver claret jug. “Absolutely a dream come true.”

For so much of Sunday, it felt like a recurring nightmare.

Just 15 months ago, Spieth lost a five-shot lead on

the back nine at the Masters, coming undone with a quadruple-bogey 7 on the 12th hole. It was more of a slow bleed at Royal Birkdale, with three bogeys on the opening four holes and four putts inside 8 feet that he missed on the front nine to fall into a tie with Kuchar.

“I put a lot of pressure on myself unfortunately, and not on purpose, before the round today, just thinking this is the best opportunity that I’ve had since the ‘16 Masters,” he said.

“And if it weren’t to go my way today, then all I’m going to be questioned about and thought about and murmured about is in comparison to that. And that adds a lot of pressure to me.

“Closing today was extremely important for the way I look at myself.”

Kuchar, playing in the final group of a major for the first time, could only watch.

sons waiting, a surprise because they had been in Colorado the day before, and it added to the emotions.

“It’s crushing. It hurts. And it’s an excitement and a thrill to have played well, put up a battle, put up a fight,” said Kuchar, who closed with a 69. “I can only control what I do, how I play. Jordan is a great champion and certainly played that way in the finishing stretch today. It was impressive stuff. All you can really do is sit back, tip your cap and say, ‘Well done.’ And it was certainly a show that he put on.”

Zach Johnson, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler were among those who waited by the 18th to watch Spieth capture yet another major.

Johnson won at St. Andrews two years ago, when Spieth missed the playoff by one shot in his bid for the calendar Grand Slam. Spieth drank wine from the jug that year, which he was told was bad luck for anyone wanting to possess the trophy one day.

“I started to believe them a bit through nine holes today,” he said. “It feels good to have this in my hands.”

Royals rally past White Sox KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals had four walk-off wins during a homestand for the first time since April 2000.

Brandon Moss hit a game-ending double off Tyler Clippard that lifted Kansas City over the White Sox 5-4 Sunday, extending Chicago’s longest losing streak in four years to nine games.

Whit Merrifield, Jorge Bonifacio and Eric Hosmer hit consecutive home runs off Derek Holland in the fourth inning for a 3-0 lead, and Merrifield hit another solo shot in the eighth off Dan Jennings to tie the score at 4.

Mike Moustakas singled off Gregory Infante (0-1) leading off the ninth and pinch-runner Lorenzo Cain advanced when Infante bounced a slider to Alcides Escobar for a wild pitch.

Infante hit Escobar on the left hand, Clippard relieved in his second appearance since he was acquired from the New York Yankees, and Moss doubled.

“I got to two strikes and just tried to battle through it, hope he left something up that I could hit,” Moss said. “Before the last couple of weeks, I’d get to two strikes and not to say you’d think it was over, but that you probably missed your chance. But I’ve been seeing the ball a lot better, and better balance at the plate, so it’s not a panic anymore.”

Moss is 8 for 19 during a fivegame hitting streak that coincides with the winning streak. After hitting .156 in June, Moss is batting .326 with four home runs, five doubles and nine RBIs in July.

“We all know what he can do,” Merrifield said. “He was just going through a funk. When he’s going well, it’s an unbelievable lift to this offense.”

Kelvin Herrera (3-2) struck out two in a perfect ninth, extending the scoreless streak by the Royals bullpen to 18 innings

over five games. Kansas City has won five straight following a skid of seven losses in eight games and went 6-4 on its homestand.

Chicago had not lost nine in a row since Aug. 30-Sept. 7, 2013.

Holland allowed three runs, four hits and three walks in 4 2/3 innings, throwing 87 pitches. He is 1-6 in his past 10 starts, “Just bad execution,” Holland said.

Kansas City had not hit three straight homers since Tony Graffanino, Angel Berroa and Doug Mientkiewicz against Detroit’s Mike Maroth on May 25, 2006, a game the Royals lost 13-8.

Royals starter Travis Wood gave up four runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings. He has an 8.31 ERA in three starts this season

and is winless as a starter in eight appearances since April 28, 2015.

Adam Engel hit a three-run double in the fourth and scored on Jose Abreu’s double for a 4-3 lead.

Chicago’s Melky Cabrera left in the fifth inning with a bruised big toe on his left foot after fouling a pitch off of it in the first inning.

Up Next White Sox: A four-game series against the Cubs opens Monday at Wrigley Field. RHP Miguel Gonzalez (4-9) is to start for the White Sox and RHP Kyle Hendricks (4-3) for the Cubs.

Royals: RHP Jason Hammel (4-8) is slated to start Monday at Detroit in the opener of a 10-day trip. RHP Justin Verlander (5-7) is to pitch for the Tigers.

Byron holds off Menard to win Xfinity Series race at Indy INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — William Byron’s first trip to Indianapolis Motor Speedway ended with an unforgettable finish.

After taking the lead with 15 laps left, the teenage rookie used some savvy moves and a little luck Saturday to hold off the hardcharging Paul Menard for his third NASCAR Xfinity Series win in less than a month. The margin of 0.108 seconds was the narrowest in race history, and he did it by successfully blocking the 2011 Brickyard 400 winner for the final two laps while dealing with a troublesome tire for the final 20.

“I can’t believe that tire held,” Byron shouted after the postrace celebration. “But it is awesome, man.”

At 19 years, 7 months, 23 days, Byron became the youngest winner of a major race on Indy’s historic 2.5-mile oval. Brazil’s Matheus Leist set the previous mark in May when he won the Indy Lights race at 19 years, 8 months, 19 days.

And in three short weeks, Byron has visited victory lane at two tracks — Daytona and Indy — that often torment more experienced drivers.

Getting there Saturday sure wasn’t easy.

Byron and the series’ other drivers used restrictor plates, new air ducts and a different splitter in hopes of making the race more competitive than in past years. In part, it worked.

Eight drivers traded the lead 16 times, both race records. And before Menard pressed the issue, Byron had to hold off Joey Logano, who finished third more than three seconds back.

“I made a pretty aggressive dive into (turn) one on the last lap to see if I could get him loose but he hung on,” Menard said. “Maybe I could have gotten his bumper but it would have killed my momentum too. I definitely tried to get him loose and couldn’t.”

But there was plenty of single-file racing, too.

Series officials will now debate whether a similar package would make for a more entertaining Cup race next September.

One driver who would vote against it is Kyle Busch, whose four-race winning streak at Indy ended. He wound up 12th, tying Michael Schumacher’s track record for most consecutive wins in a race car. Marc Marquez won five straight in on two wheels in the MotoGP. Byron, unlike Busch, had no complaints.

“I knew in practice the car was driving really well. I thought this was our race to lose,” he said. “It’s the first time I’ve come here and it’s such a special moment walking into the place.”

And he leaves with a win.

NASCAR Photo William Byron, driver of the No. 9 Liberty University Chevrolet, celebrates in victory lane after winning Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series Lilly Diabetes 250 at Indianapolis Motorspeedway in Indianapolis, Ind.

Byron also narrowly held on to win the first of three stages, beating Busch by 0.113 seconds.

Pole-winner Elliott Sadler won the second stage under caution, just ahead of Brennan Poole.

Busch looked like he would hold on to win the final stage until he drove onto pit road with 18 laps to go, turning the lead over Sadler. Busch never led another lap.

“I’m still not sure why we did what we did,” Busch said.

A post-race inspection also showed Erik Jones’ car was missing a lugnut.

Justin Allgaier’s solid run was undone in the pits.

On one stop, two crew members scrambled to get out of the way of the No. 7 car — with one leaping over the right fender as Allgaier drove into the pit box. Fortunately, nobody was seriously hurt.

But a green flag pit stop with four laps left in the second stage took Allgaier out of contention for good. He pulled out of his pit box before the crew signaled to go, running over a hose and dragging it into the next pit box where it ripped. The damage to the right front tire eventually caused damage to the fender and forced Allgaier to stop on the track before the tire came loose.

The Xfinity Series is back at Iowa Speedway Saturday for the U.S. Cellular 250.

Cubs defeat Cards, move into tie with Brewers CHICAGO (AP) — Willson Contreras hit a tiebreaking two-run homer, Jose Quintana won again and the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3 on Sunday night to move into a virtual tie for first in the NL Central.

Kyle Schwarber also connected as the Cubs won for the eighth time in nine games since the All-Star break. The World Series champions improved to 5146, just a few percentage points ahead of Milwaukee after the Brewers (53-48) lost 6-3 at Philadelphia.

Quintana (6-8) struck out seven in six innings in his first home start since he was acquired in a blockbuster trade with the White Sox on July 13. He pitched seven sparkling innings in an 8-0 victory at Baltimore in his Cubs debut last Sunday.

The veteran left-hander wasn’t nearly as sharp this time around, but he was good enough. He allowed three runs and five hits while improving to 3-0 in three career starts against St. Louis.

Randal Grichuk hit a two-run homer for the Cardinals, who closed out a 4-6 road trip with their fourth loss in five games. Paul DeJong also went deep.

Coming off his first career shutout, Michael Wacha (7-4) was charged with five runs and six hits in six innings in his first loss since May 30. The righthander was 4-0 with a 1.01 ERA in his previous four starts, including a three-hitter in a 5-0 victory against the Mets on Tuesday.

Grichuk’s third homer in three games since coming off the disabled list and DeJong’s 12th of the season helped St. Louis to a 3-2 lead. But Chicago battled back via the long ball.

Schwarber tied it at 3 with a towering solo shot in the fourth. With one out and Kris Bryant aboard after a leadoff double in the sixth, Contreras drove a 3-1 pitch from Wacha into the bleachers in left-center for his third homer in his last four games and No. 15 on the year.

The Cubs’ bullpen took over from there. Hector Rondon and Carl Edwards Jr. each got three outs before Wade Davis finished for his 20th save in 20 chances.

Grichuk, DeJong and Jedd Gyorko had two hits apiece for St. Louis, which also lost first baseman Matt Carpenter to right quad tightness.

Carpenter reached on an error in the first and was thrown out at home when he tried to score on Gyorko’s two-out double to left-center.

There are no bad or wrong emotions. All of your emotions have a purpose for you. It is only when you dismiss or ignore the message of emotions that they become a problem in your day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The adventure will start with new social contacts.

Branch out. Ask friends to introduce you to people you don’t know. You’ll make fast friends by participating in games and groups.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will use your money to talk.

You will boycott or buycott according to your beliefs and political views. The story of products will matter to you as much or more than the products themselves.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today you’ll be a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place -- from passers-by, from the sky, from the pages of your book, from the places you land on the internet and more.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s power in being cool; however, the enormously powerful don’t have to be cool to be accepted. Note the difference between status and authority. You’ll have the option to align with what’s powerful or with what’s cool.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Big companies were once small startups. Many ventures have their origins in a parent’s garage. You’ll be inspired by the work ethic of those who have built their dreams. You have it in you to do this, too.
