Colfax 19-year-old killed in single-vehicle accident Saturday

By Anthony Victor Reyes Newton Daily News COLFAX – A 19-year-old from Colfax was killed in a single-vehicle accident north of town Saturday evening, according to the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office.

Officials said Ty Carlson was driving his pick-up truck southbound on a rural county gravel road around 8:37 p.m. Saturday when his truck entered a ditch and struck a power pole in the 600 block of Forest Street South.

“He headed to a curb, lost control and entered the ditch,”

JCSO Chief Deputy Duane Rozendaal said. “The vehicle rolled on its left side, striking a utility pole.”

Carlson was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officials said the teen was the sole occupant of the vehicle. He was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of incident, according to JCSO. No other injuries were reported in connection to the accident.

Colfax Fire Department/ EMS and Newton EMS assisted in the incident and JCSO deputies are investigating the cause of the crash. It is cur-

rently unknown if speed was a factor.

According to his Facebook page, Carlson was a 2016 graduate of Colfax-Mingo High School, serving as a member of the wrestling and football teams. He was attending Iowa Central Community College.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of our former teammate and athlete, Ty Carlson. What a great example of a young man,” the Colfax-Mingo wrestling program said in a Facebook post.

The Newton High School junior recently returned from a trip to New York City, where he competed in the International Modeling and Talent Agency competition, bringing home a slew of awards.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A full agenda greets the Newton City Council for its Monday meeting. Along with the appointment of a temporary council member replacing Lin Chape’s seat, the council will look to take action in areas including extending the Fairmeadows North subdivision and the former Hotel Maytag project.

A public hearing will be held to approve the preliminary plat for Fairmeadows North subdivision in northeast Newton.

The plat, which is located directly north of the current Fairmeadows North housing development, is divided into 23 lots with the intention of increasing builder lots in the city.

A resolution approving an engineering services agreement with Snyder and Associates will also go before the council for work at Fairmeadows North. The engineering firm will provide bidding assistance, a storm water pollution plan and construction, administration, observation and staking for the subdivision. The cost for the agreement is $63,100.

Buffalo take spotlight at refuge Bison Day

By Anthony Victor Reyes Newton Daily News PRAIRIE CITY – Prior to the 19th century, the American bison ruled the North American prairies. From the 14-inch curved horns to their intimidating monstrous size, these shaggy beasts are truly a sight to behold.

After their population was nearly decimated from commercial hunting and slaughter, nowadays, only a few lucky people can catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures.

Saturday, another herd of American mammals returned to the prairie in the hundreds.

Although, this herd was a lot smaller in stature, walked on

two legs, bore horns made of paper and spoke English, these furry creatures roamed Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge in Prairie City to spin rope, practice their archery and pet some other cute animals. Many of them said they BISON | 8A

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Monday, Aug. 7, the 219th day of 2017. There are 146 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 7, 1942, U.S. and other allied forces landed at Guadalcanal, marking the start of the first major allied offensive in the Pacific during World War II. (Japanese forces abandoned the island the following February.)

On this date: In 1782, Gen. George Washington created the Order of the Purple Heart, a decoration to recognize merit in enlisted men and noncommissioned officers.

In 1789, the U.S. Department of War was established by Congress.

In 1882, the famous feud between the Hatfields of West Virginia and the McCoys of Kentucky erupted into full-scale violence.

In 1947, the balsa wood raft Kon-Tiki, which carried a six-man crew 4,300 miles across the Pacific Ocean, crashed into a reef in a Polynesian archipelago; all six crew members reached land safely.

In 1959, the United States launched the Explorer 6 satellite, which sent back images of Earth.

In 1964, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, giving President Lyndon B. Johnson broad powers in dealing with reported North Vietnamese attacks on U.S. forces.

In 1974, French stuntman Philippe Petit repeatedly walked a tightrope strung between the twin towers of New York’s World Trade Center.

In 1998, terrorist bombs at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed 224 people, including 12 Americans.

In 2010, Elena Kagan was sworn in as the 112th justice and fourth woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ten years ago: San Francisco’s Barry Bonds hit home run No. 756 to break Hank Aaron’s storied record with one out in the fifth inning of a game against the Washington Nationals, who ended up winning, 8-6.

Five years ago: Jared Lee Loughner agreed to spend the rest of his life in prison, accepting that he went on a deadly shooting rampage at an Arizona political gathering in 2011 and sparing the victims a lengthy, possibly traumatic death-penalty trial.

One year ago: An accident on a 17-story waterslide at Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City, Kan., claimed the life of a 10-year-old boy. Jim Furyk became the first golfer to shoot a 58 in PGA Tour history during the Travelers Championship in Connecticut with a 12-under 58 in the final round. (Furyk finished tied for fifth at 11 under, three strokes behind winner Russell Knox.)

Neighbors heard the crash early Friday and called law enforcement officers in the small city of Durango.

Ron Cornelius joked that he doesn’t usually get up at 5 a.m. “unless there is a bear driving a car down the street.”

Tent Revival service brings God to residents

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News Two years ago Jennifer Cornelison was in a “dark place.”

Battling a drug addiction that had consumed most of her life, she was looking for a way out.

She found a way out in the unlikeliest of places, under the bright lights of a big circus tent.

On Friday night Cornelison was back under that same tent, letting the words of evangelist Robert Newton wash over her, during the 2017 Newton Tent Crusade.

“This has been life changing for me and my kids,” Cornelison said. “I was addicted to drugs, I fought it for a lot of years.”

James Miller has known the evangelist for years, and since the first time he heard him speak, he’s wanted him to bring his message to Newton. After looking around to find a place to put up the tent without any luck he realized one morning that the answer had been staring him in the face for a long time.

As Miller stood in the parking lot of his business, Integrity Cleaning and Restoration, located at 402 First Ave. E., he found the answer he’d been looking for. His parking lot had enough room to set up the tent.

“Sometimes the answer is just right in front of your face,” Miller said.

Miller’s hope is that bringing Newton in will bring hope to the community, and give residents a chance to connect with one another. A lifelong resident of Newton Miller knows his hometown needs help.

“I believe that Newton needs hope,” Miller said. “I want to shine a light in the dark areas.”

Tent revival services used to be a fixture in towns like Newton a hundred years ago. The flyers would go up, and then the tent, filled to the brim with the faithful. They’re mostly gone now, but that isn’t stopping Robert Newton, the man behind the tent crusade. Newton’s battled his own demons, fighting his way through drug addiction and

David Dolmage/Daily News A banner is displayed in front of the tent revival while Pastor Robert Newton speaks Friday night.

he’s determined to show others how they can do the same thing.

“Christ totally changed my life,” Newton said. “We’re taking the gospel outside of the church, we go all over America.”

He’s on the road more than 300 days a year, pumping out his message about God’s love to anyone who’ll listen. This year alone he’s set up his tent in 7 different states, and he’s constantly on the lookout for new avenues. The

tent he raised with volunteers on Thursday is the fourth tent in the last eight years, he’d worn through each previous tent.

Newton knows he’s making an impact, he can see the hope he brings to people under the tent. He’s gambling that shaking things up will pull in people like Cornelison, people who are looking for a different experience than the traditional brick and mortar church with

uncomfortable wooden pews.

On Friday night, as volunteers hand out hot dogs and slices of still-hot apple pie Newton wants to talk about community, and bringing hope to people who need it the most.

“People need something beyond their ability to change their lives, the gospel does that,” Newton said.

Cornelison couldn’t agree more. That encouragement that she received two years ago was enough for her to kick her drug habit, something she’d been unable to do on her own. Now, as she sat with her daughter Sierra under the purple and white tent waiting for the service to start, she’s here to address a new need.

“I’ve been struggling with trying to get healthy and quit smoking,” Cornelison said. “I’m hoping to find the Holy Spirit here tonight, and find the guidance to go in the right direction.”

Corndogs at the ready

Editor’s note: This column originally published Aug. 4, 2016 The corn dogs are battered and already in the fryer at one food vendor on the Iowa State Fair Grand Concourse.

We love to take walks in the evening through the 445-acre fairgrounds, especially as the fair draws closer. Betsy and I were not more than a minute into our stroll Tuesday night and a wedged-capped server at one of the multiple corn dog stands asked a family sitting on a wooden bench if they needed two or three of their breaded delights on a stick.

Every night we go out to the fair-

grounds from now until opening day, more food booths, midway rides and exhibits will pop up. Tuesday evening’s corn dog vendor opened early to serve other fair entrepreneurs and early campers as they prepped for the greatest fair on Earth.

Just up the concourse the wood smoker at a permanent pork chop stand was lit, giving the fairgrounds a scent of campsite. At the old-style ice cream parlor, the boarded windows had been replaced with red and white stripped awnings and a paper mache blue ribbon behind the display glass.

Inside, tables and iron-legged stools were stacked waiting for someone to

sit down with the first state fair scoop of 2016.

In late July and early August, the Iowa State Fairgrounds transforms.

Fountains which sit idle for 11 months of the year begin to flow, buildings that are vacant suddenly fill with activity and stands that serve every food imaginable — most fried and on a stick — set up shop.

During our latest walk, grounds crews just finished for the evening at the 4-H dorms, laying sod after a new parking lot was poured and a paint job which spruced up the outside of the old concrete structure was complete.

We always end our weekly walk at Grandfather’s Barn — the place where Iowa wines of all varieties will soon be ready with singles and flights. It’s one of the highest points on the grounds and gives a striking view of the downtown Des Moines skyline several miles

to the west. From there we can see workers all over the fairgrounds cleaning and preparing until sundown.

Behind us we can hear Ford, Chevy and Dodge pickups driving in and out of the campgrounds which is filling with vendors, farmers and die-hard campers who’ve already claimed their spot.

Soon there will be horses, cattle, hogs and birds ready to show. Demonstrations from raising young piglets to the tallest open class cornstalk will be predominately on display. And let’s not forget the butter cow.

Our weekly walks will soon be replaced by daily trips to “the best state fair in our state.”

Aug. 10-20 cannot get here soon enough.

Eye on America John Stossel

The Trump Budget Remember President Trump’s “terrible” budget cuts?

“Promises Little but Pain,” warned The New York Times.

“Harsh and shortsighted,” cried The Washington Post.

Then Congress passed a budget. President Trump signed it.

Do you notice the “pain”?

I follow the news closely, but until I researched this column, I didn’t know that Congress actually raised spending on the very agencies Trump wanted to cut.

Trump called for a $4.7 billion dollar cut to the Agriculture Department. Congress increased the department’s appropriation by $12.8 billion.

He called for a $15 billion cut to Health and Human Services.

Congress instead gave them $2.8 billion more.

Trump wanted a $6.2 billion cut to Housing and Urban Development. Congress gave HUD a half-billion-dollar increase.

Trump wanted the Commerce Department’s budget cut by $1.4 billion. Congress made no cut.

And so on.

Why wasn’t that news? Because in Washington, and in the media’s eyes, spending increases are expected. And cuts are always “terrible.”

America continues on its road to bankruptcy.

What will those departments do with their new money?

The Agriculture Department says its mission is to “promote agricultural production that better nourishes Americans.” Politicians claim we need the Department to guarantee an adequate food supply.

Nonsense.

Because of the free market, agricultural entrepreneurs provide plenty of food. Fruit and vegetable farmers rarely get subsidies, but there are ample supplies of fruits and vegetables.

We don’t need an Agriculture Department any more than we need a Hollywood movie department or iPhone department.

Most of what the Department does is corporate welfare.

America’s richest corn and grain farmers collect most of the money.

Politicians eagerly give money to people who visit their offices and pour out tales of need.

Corn and grain farmers visit and whine because they have millions of dollars at stake.

You don’t visit because each subsidy costs you just a few bucks.

So the corporate welfare continues.

Members of Congress might stop the wasteful spending if they spent their own money. But they don’t. They spend ours.

Congress ignored Trump’s request to cut the Commerce Department, too.

Commerce’s biggest program is NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA pushes climate change alarmism, producing PSAs that warn Arctic ice is “thinning at an alarming rate!”

If that’s a serious problem, NOAA’s spending won’t stop it.

NOAA’s bureaucrats got caught buying a $300,000 yacht — and using it to go fishing.

The Department says what they do is “critical.” They fund “centers in every state that consult with companies facing technological problems.”

Government is good at fixing tech problems? News to me.

The Department claims “every dollar of federal investment ... generates around $30” because each “$2,400 investment” creates a job.

I’m sure they help some politically savvy companies, but their claim ignores the good things your money would have done had it stayed in the private sector. That’s the unseen cost of funding every Department. We’ll never know what our dollars might have done had they not been taken from us by government.

Maybe a new Steve Jobs would have invented a...

I don’t know. We’ll never know, because government grabbed the money.

President Trump seems to understand that government wastes money, but after proposing cuts to some departments, he was eager to increase military spending. So Congress did. The military got the biggest increase.

Defense, at least, is a proper role of government. Government should keep us safe. But our current military is wasteful and involved in needless foreign entanglements.

We spend as much as the next seven countries combined — eight times more than Russia spends. Many of the missions our politicians give the military — interventions in places like Iraq, Libya and Syria — made us less safe by destabilizing the Middle East and creating new terrorists.

Congress should cut spending to the military and to the departments Trump wanted to cut.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Trump’s losing it Republican Congressional leaders, conservative journalists and Trump’s core base are becoming less and less enamored with our 45th president. As David Leonhardt, Op-Ed columnist for The New York Times, writes, “support for the president has started to crack.”

Donald Trump’s blatant public assaults on Jeff Sessions, USA’s 84th Attorney General, have only exasperated the 29 week downward spiral of Trump’s approval rating from 45 to 33 percent. Mr. Sessions was the first Senator (R, AL) to support Donald Trump and on Trump’s vice-presidential short list.

Trump doesn’t comprehend that threatening Alaska’s federal funding due to Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s (R-Alaska) voting behavior, calling Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) “betrayers” and publicly belittling ultra-conservative Sessions infuriated ardent Republicans.

Americans ponder if Trump back-stabs life-serving Republicans, who won’t he throw under the bus?

Republican legislators have had it with Trump as witnessed by four events:1) supporting the bipartisan Senate and House investigation of the Russia scandal, 2) backing Robert Mueller’s special counsel and two grand jury endeavors, 3) voting (Senate 98-2 and House of Representatives 419-3) to approve Russia sanctions while giving Congress the power to review

any White House attempt to roll them back and 4) Senate blocking Trump from being able to make August “recess” appointments.

These actions are an explicit no-confidence vote about Trump.

Trump is correct when he said “it’s very sad that Republicans do very little to protect their president.”Even a 9th grader understands human behavior and would say, “Mr. Trump, if your Republican controlled Congress can’t find the votes to pass your agenda, won’t defend you against a scandal and avoid town hall meetings to stay clear of questions about your unorthodox behavior, guess what?, G.O.P. legislators shouldn’t protect a weak president.”

Research is replete voters are tired of Trump’s compulsive lies (116) and 991 juvenile tweets exhibited in the first six months of office.

When federal judges overturned Trump’s Muslim immigration edict and Trump called them “socalled judges,” he denigrated USA’s basic rule of law.

Trump questioning the veracity of USA’s 17 intelligence agencies didn’t exhibit much intelligence or street smarts.

Trump’s apparent ignorance of the three independent branches of government and constitution provisions bewilders those who took a high school civics course.

Again, Trump’s approval rating has fallen 12 percent in 29 weeks. Put into

Steve Corbin perspective, that’s a drop of 16.7 million voters from the 2016 election; 575,172 per week or 82,167 per day. This supersedes the total number of voters from the six states (i.e., Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Florida) who flipped from supporting Obama to Trump.

Trump has secured only 48 of the 564 key government positions (8.5 percent) requiring Senate confirmation. Either he doesn’t realize the importance of government workers or people don’t want to work for Trump.

Disheartened Trump supporters have put two and two together and now realize why Trump won’t release his taxes, why he wants Sessions, Mueller and the Russian election collusion investigation to disappear and why he’s talking about pardoning his family and White House staff.

The Trump “make America great again” loyalists realize the swamp in DC didn’t get drained, coal mining and manufacturing jobs are not rebounding, $1 trillion infrastructure spending is in a pothole, the wall is not being built and the promise to repeal and replace Obamacare and reform our tax code by July 31 failed.

Their sigh of “oh, what a tangled web we weave, once we practice to deceive” becomes louder and louder.

Should Trump’s abuse of power, lies, threats, harangues, contempt, ridicule and disgrace continue, his days are numbered. Believe

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Man seems to be a friend only when he needs a hand

DEAR ABBY: My husband has been so-called friends with a man I’ll call “Roy” for almost 30 years.

During the 23 years I have been in the picture, I have noticed their friendship seems one-sided.

We hear from Roy only when he’s down on his luck or needs help moving or lifting something. Last year he began dating someone new.

He has had many girlfriends and we have not met a third of them.

Since this courtship began, Roy has changed his number at least four times, and each time, my husband has had to call around to get his supposedly best friend’s phone number.

Well, Roy proposed (for the first time ever) to this girlfriend. About a week later he texted my husband a photo of the ring with the caption: “She said yes, and you are the best man!” That was over a year ago. My husband still hasn’t met the fiancee. But other friends of theirs have been invited on outings and met her during the year.

I feel Roy is using my husband because he knows he makes decent money and can come through to fund all the best man duties. I don’t want my husband to keep playing the fool. Is this normal friend behavior? — PROTECTIVE IN MISSOURI DEAR PROTECTIVE: No, it’s not. Your husband’s “best friend” appears to be a user. From where I sit, he is being treated more as a reliable resource than a friend, let alone a “best” friend. However, after 30 years, your spouse may be so accustomed to it that he doesn’t know the difference. How sad.

DEAR ABBY: A year ago I met the untouchable Ice Prince Charming and somehow managed to snatch him up a few months ago. But now that he has “defrost-

ed” and we’re starting to settle into a relationship, I’m realizing that my “prince” is a bit too charming.

This may sound nuts, but I’m getting sick from all the sugary sweet affection all the time, and I can’t get him to answer anything for himself. It’s always, “It doesn’t matter, as long as I’m with you. It doesn’t matter, you’re better/your opinion is better. You’re so great, amazing, cute, etc. Love you, our kids will be so cute, I wanna marry you, etc.”

And nothing else. He won’t even let me compliment him.

We used to have intellectual arguments, dumb competitions, talk all night about fun things we wanted to do one day or just sit around and snark at each other when we weren’t going at our sometimes separate hobbies. I know all every girl wants is her boyfriend to be sweet, so why does it bother me? Am I crazy? How do I get my best friend back? — UNUSUAL JERSEY GIRL DEAR JERSEY GIRL: Here’s how. Tell him exactly what you have told me. He may be love drunk, but if that doesn’t sober him up, then it may be time to find a prince who’s less charming and better suited to you.

Western Iowa police say 6 overdose on synthetic opioid COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Police in western Iowa are investigating after six people suffered opioid overdoses in Council Bluffs this week.

The Daily Nonpareil reports that two men were treated for overdoses at separate Council Bluffs hospitals about halfan-hour apart Wednesday night.

A day earlier, three people were found unconscious in a Council Bluffs gas station parking lot and another man found unresponsive at a nearby home. All have since been treated and released.

AP Photo Court documents posted online Friday show that Chris Soules is scheduled to go on trial Jan. 18, 2018, for leaving the scene of a fatal accident in April 2017.

Sheriff ’s reports say Soules left the scene and was arrested later at his home about 10 miles (16 kilometers) away.

Court documents posted online Friday indicate a jury trial has been set for Jan. 18. It’s expected to last four to five days.

The charge carries a sentence of up to five years in prison.

Iowa police get creative to catch drivers texting DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — An eastern Iowa police department plans to use plain-clothed officers in unmarked cars to spot drivers violating the state’s new texting-while-driving ban.

Dubuque Police Lt. John Digman told The Telegraph Herald that the policy will start this fall.

The new law, which took effect July 1, allows police to pull over drivers because they’re suspected of texting. Previously, texting citations could only be made in addition to a different reason for making a traffic stop.

Planned Iowa City housing development to cater to homeless IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — More than $3 million has been awarded to build a first-of-its-kind housing development for the chronically homeless in Iowa City.

The Iowa Finance Authority Board of Directors recently awarded $2.7 million to Shelter House for the housing development, the Press-Citizen reported . That’s on top of a $463,000 grant from the Housing Trust Fund of Johnson County, according to Shelter House Executive Director Crissy Canganelli.

Together, the funds are expected to cover construction and furnishing for the planned two-story project.

The plan includes 24 one-bedroom apartments that will cater to the chronically homeless and frequent service users. The building would also include offices and an exam room for case managers and health and behavioral health providers.

The project is part of the Frequent Users Systems Engagement-Housing First initiative, a local effort begun in 2013.

Canganelli said the initiative is intended to serve the homeless caught in a cycle of arrests, emergency room visits, treatment centers and other service agency use.

The Johnson County Local Homeless Coordinating Board,

a network of 20 local agencies, launched a study that tracked the costs of four local frequent service users from 2009 to the middle of 2014. The study found that taxpayer costs for the four totaled about $2.16 million — an average cost of $140,000 per person per year.

“Other communities have done this analysis, and other communities have made the case for Housing First intervention,” Canganelli said. “They have been tremendously successful both in reducing cost of services for individuals and, frankly, saving lives by using Housing First intervention for this cohort.”

Iowa’s Leopold Center considers future after losing funding AMES, Iowa (AP) — A university’s sustainable agriculture research center is shutting down this summer as the organization’s future is uncertain following the Legislature’s decision to cut the center’s state funding.

The Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University’s budget was reduced by nearly $2 million, the Iowa City Press-Citizen reported . The 30-yearold center will no longer offer

grants to support researchers, graduate students, working farmers or field-to-table advocacy programs.

Republican legislative leaders called for cuts to the center’s funding in April, arguing that it had accomplished its mission and the funds should go to other issues.

“It’s really concerning that the Legislature defunded a research center that is devoted to public science at a time

when we are dealing so many important issues — from water quality to the health of our rural communities,” said Angie Carter, a 2015 graduate of the university’s sustainable agricultural program.

Many of the center’s research grants had to be discontinued or moved to the university’s Nutrient Center.

The center’s remaining annual income stems from about $200,000 in endowment interest.

Center director Mark Rasmussen said he’s looking into alternative funding sources.

The College of Agriculture has offered the center a year of funding to help ensure students won’t feel the financial impact of the Legislature’s decision, said Matthew O’Neal, an associate professor of entomology who chairs the university’s sustainable agriculture graduate program.

“We lost funding from the state, and that hurts, but we’re

not being dissolved,” he said.

Rasmussen created a nine-member Visioning Task Force to hold listening posts throughout the state and determine what the center should focus on next.

The task force includes four working farmers, a university student, a university faculty members and representatives from Riley Resource Group, Practical Farmers of Iowa and the Iowa Environmental Council.

They were two of more than 1,000 people who came to the facility for Bison Day. Top right, a young “bison” checks out the animal display put on by the Blank Park Zoo at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge in Prairie City Saturday. The display was part of NSNWR’s annual Bison Day festivities.

Bottom left, a visitor takes aim at his target Saturday at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge in Prairie City. The facility hosted a variety of activities including archery to commemorate its annual Bison Day. Bottom right, Neal Smith, former congressman and namesake of the Neal Smith Wildlife Refuge shares his passion for wildlife and their habitat Saturday. He was in attendance that day to celebrate Bison Day.

Bison Continued from Page 1A had a blast. “(Bison Day) was so fun,” 5-year-old visitor from Des Moines, Addi Fegter said. “I want to pet (the real bison at the refuge), but they get so big.”

To celebrate the roughly 70 bison that live in the 700-acre enclosure at the refuge, Neal Smith NWR hosted their annual Bison Day on Saturday, attracting more than 1,000 people to its learning center.

At the free event, families were treated to a variety of activities, from making buffalo horn crowns to feeling many different furs that once belonged to animals native to the tallgrass prairies.

“Last year’s event was big.

It does seem like we had more people (this year). We ran

out of parking pretty early,” Neal Smith biologist Karen Viste-Sparkman said. “We want to get a lot of people out here and get them engaged.”

With participation from several local organizations, including Blank Park Zoo, the Iowa Trappers Association and the Prairie City Historical Society, NSNWR staff and volunteers educated visitors about the importance of the bison and the need to actively preserve and support the tallgrass prairie ecosystem.

“I like watching the kids come here. They really need an education. It is amazing how many kids there are in Iowa who really don’t really have a chance to see and understand animals,” former congressman and refuge namesake, Neal Smith said at the event. “The bison have no fear. They fear nothing. Almost all animals live in fear each day.”

According the organizers,

by having several activities, from an invasive species station to bison-themed arts and crafts, the refuge is able to get children inspired to support the refuge, and hopefully carry over the importance of the prairie from generation to generation.

“The kids are our future. We do this so they can appreciate what they have and we need the public to support what we are doing here,” Viste-Sparkman said. “Getting kids outside to get more exercise and connected with nature is also great. So many kids are growing up cities and places where they don’t have as much contact with nature.”

At the event, attendees were also able to learn how to shoot an arrow, make rope and witnessed demonstrations of hide cutting and Wigwam, the domed dwelling previously used by Native Americans. The visitors were also treated to

Native American stories about the prairie and the buffalo.

“A big part of what we are doing is restoring prairie and the native ecosystems. Bison are really important to that.

They are important historically, for the Native Americans early, to their culture, and just celebrating the prairie,” Viste-Sparkman said. “We want people sharing with their friends what they learned here, and connect them with the past.”

Several visitors who came to the refuge outside of Prairie City said it was important for them to educate their children about how the North American grasslands, while supporting an animal that they grew up cherishing and admiring.

“We came out here to see the buffalo... We just want to be part a part of conservation and show our kids what everyone here is trying to do,” Grinnell mother, Cigi Muckler said.

“This is our first time out in the refuge. It’s great. We think it is really nice.”

The event was capped off with a bison chip throwing contest, with the winners walking away with some fabulous prizes. Buffalo burgers and hot dogs were also served at the event. The festivities also featured live music, tours of the facility and native pollinator plant giveaways.

“The bison have been around forever. They are just so neat to see,” Addi’s grandmother, Jacque Fegter said. “I just love all those westerns. So this was right up my alley. We truly enjoyed it.”

Pressure builds for Iowa offense, new OC Ferentz

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News 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

Troy Hyde/Daily News Former Newton Cardinal Nick Easley, right, jokes around with Iowa wide receiver teammates Matt VandeBerg, left, and Adrian Falconer at the Hawkeyes’ annual football media day in Iowa City on Saturday. Easley began fall camp as a starting wide receiver after earning JUCO All-American recognition at Iowa Western Community College last season.

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 we’re getting to know the players a little bit better. Even Brian, 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.

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.

Free fan viewing of new IndyCar body US sweeps 100-m kit testing at Iowa Speedway Thursday golds at Worlds Newton Daily News

Iowa Speedway race fans will have their first chance to see the universal aerodynamic bodywork kit that will fit the current Dallara IR-12 chassis for the 2018 Verizon IndyCar Series season.

Just a month removed from the Verizon IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300, the premier North American open-wheel series will conduct a test for the new car at The Fastest Short Track on the Planet on Thursday.

This is a free event and open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday. Viewing will be from the Newton Club, where fans can watch the action from

seats overlooking the start /finish line.

“We respect and support everything INDYCAR does to provide the best open-wheel racing around,” Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small said.

“The test will provide an opportunity for our fans to get a preview of the 2018 Verizon IndyCar Series season, and the Iowa Corn 300 race. We’re stoked to see the new universal aero kit, and in particular, how it will

handle the Fastest Short Track on the Planet.”

In July, IndyCar veterans Juan Pablo Montoya and Oriol Servia — in Chevrolet and Honda-powered Dallara IR-12s equipped with the universal aero kit in its superspeedway oval configuration — participated in a test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. That test was followed by another last Tuesday at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, with the cars in the aero kit configuration to be used on road courses, street courses and short ovals including Iowa Speedway.

LONDON (AP) — With Usain Bolt and Elaine Thompson in the 100 meters, it was supposed to be double sprint gold for Jamaica by now.

Seven inducted in Pro Football Hall of Fame CANTON, Ohio (AP) — As he so often did on the field, LaDainian Tomlinson stole the show.

With a powerful speech calling for “Team America” to be a place for inclusion and opportunity, the great running back of the San Diego Chargers was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night.

The 2017 roster of entrants

into the shrine was deeply impressive: fellow running back Terrell Davis; quarterback Kurt Warner; defensive end Jason Taylor; safety Kenny Easley; placekicker Morten Andersen; and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

All spoke eloquently, with bursts of humor and heartwarming stories. But Tomlinson’s words resonated so strongly that he drew several standing ovations not only

from the crowd of 13,400, but from his now-fellow Gold Jackets.

“Football is a microcosm of America,” Tomlinson said. “All races, religions and creeds, living, playing, competing side by side. When you’re part of a team, you understand your teammates — their strengths and weaknesses — and work together toward the same goal, to win a championship.

“Let’s not choose to be against one another. Let’s choose to be for one another. ... I pray we dedicate ourselves to being the best team we can be, working and living together, representing the highest ideals of mankind. Leading the way for all nations to follow.”

“The dive doesn’t feel too good now,” said Bowie, who added gold to her Olympic silver from last year. “I never give up until I am over the line.”

Dafne Schippers, the 2015 world champion in the 200, took bronze in 10.96.

Nationals slam Cubs CHICAGO (AP) — Matt Wieters hit a tiebreaking grand slam off Carl Edwards Jr. in Washington’s five-run eighth inning, helping the Nationals beat the Chicago Cubs 9-4 on Sunday.

Bryce Harper started the winning rally with a oneout infield single against Mike Montgomery. Ryan Zimmerman doubled against Edwards and Daniel Murphy was walked intentionally to load the bases.

Washington then grabbed control in a span of two pitches. Edwards (33) hit Anthony Rendon, tying it at 4, and Wieters followed with a drive over the wall in center for his third career grand slam.

Wieters drove in five runs and Rendon also had an RBI double for the NL East-leading Nationals, who had dropped three of four.

Truex wins fuel-mileage gamble at The Glen

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) — Martin Truex Jr. won a fuel-mileage gamble, holding off Matt Kenseth on the final lap to capture the NASCAR Cup race at Watkins Glen International on Sunday.

Brad Keselowski had a big lead but was forced to pit with three laps to go. That gave the lead to Ryan Blaney, who began to run dry and had to pit before taking the white flag.

Trailing by 3 seconds after saving fuel for several laps, Truex assumed the lead in his No. 78 Toyota and, despite a bobble and locking the brakes as Kenseth challenged on the last lap, won for the fourth time this season.

Rookie Daniel Suarez was third, followed by Denny Hamlin and Clint Bowyer. Pole-sitter Kyle Busch was seventh.

Four races — Michigan, Bristol, Darlington and Richmond — remain before the playoffs start.

Busch, who dominated qualifying earlier in the day, was the class of the field early and gained a big lead in the esses after the green flag dropped and dominated the first stage, leading all 20 laps.

By the eighth time around the

NASCAR Photo Martin Truex Jr., driver of the No. 78 Furniture Row/Denver Mattress Toyota, manuvers around the road course during Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series I Love NY 355 at The Glen at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, N.Y. Down the stretch, Truex claimed victory in a fuel-mileage gamble and holding off Matt Kenseth.

2.45-mile circuit, Busch held a 3.4-second lead over Truex, while Keselowski in sixth was 10 seconds behind. It was Busch’s ninth stage win of the season.

Busch, who overcame a pit road penalty early in Saturday’s Xfinity race at The Glen and rallied to win, had to return to the pits after his first

stop to check for a loose wheel and restarted 34th.

Chase Elliott assumed the top spot until he pitted nine laps later, giving the lead to Suarez, who barely held off Truex to win the second stage, the first of his rookie season.

“Hopefully, we can keep it up,” Suarez said over his radio.

Busch, meanwhile, worked

his way through the field and was ninth at the end of the stage, in contention again.

On a restart halfway through the 90-lap race around the 2.45-mile layout, Truex took the lead from Suarez with a powerful move on the outside and pulled away to a lead of more than 4 seconds as Busch encountered

more trouble. His No. 18 Toyota suffered damage after the restart when he made contact with Keselowski’s No. 2 Ford in the Inner Loop while racing for seventh.

Keselowski bounced into Busch and both slid off course. Keselowski stayed out, but an irate Busch pitted for four tires and voiced his displeasure over his radio.

Keselowski pitted a couple of laps later for tires, and when a caution flew he gained the top spot for the restart when much of the field pitted.

Truex, who ran up front most of the race, passed Bowyer for second on lap 61 and began to chase down the leader. He caught Keselowski three laps later, passing him on the final turn of lap 64, a sweeping right-hander leading onto the front straightaway.

But with fuel mileage coming into play, Truex started to slow his pace to save fuel, dropping back as Keselowski and Blaney drove past.

Undaunted by his bad luck, Busch rallied back again. He was up to eighth on lap 68 and was clocking some of the fastest times on the track despite a damaged front fender.

The rest of the receiving core is loaded with a bunch of unknowns.

Former Newton Cardinal Nick Easley begins fall camp as a starter opposite of VandeBerg, but the roster also 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.”

The youngsters with talent includes a 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 position 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

Brian Goodwin homered, drove in two runs and robbed Jon Jay of a hit with a terrific diving catch on a sinking liner to center in the seventh.

Willson Contreras hit two more home runs for Chicago, which stayed a half-game ahead of second-place Milwaukee in the NL Central.

The Cubs closed out a 2-4 homestand against NL contenders Arizona and Washington before pulling on leather vests and bandannas for their “Easy Rider”-themed six-game road trip out west.

Cubs starter Jon Lester was charged with three runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings.

Contreras led off the fourth with a drive to the back of the bleachers in left for his 20th homer. He connected again in the sixth, and Kyle Schwarber followed with another homer off rookie Erick Fedde for a 4-1 lead.

The 25-year-old Contreras is batting .346 (27-for-78) with 10 homers and 29 RBIs in 20 games since the All-Star break. He went deep five times in the last four games of the homestand.

But that was it for Chicago, which couldn’t get anything going against Washington’s bullpen after Erick Fedde lasted 5 1/3 innings in his second major league start. Brandon Kintzler (3-2) pitched a scoreless inning for his first win since he was acquired in a trade with Minnesota.

The Nationals faced the Cubs without their three best starting pitchers.

Max Scherzer was pushed back after he left his previous start with neck spasms. Gio Gonzalez is on the paternity list, and Stephen Strasburg is on the 10day disabled list with a right elbow injury.

Cubs’ outfielder Jason Heyward doubled in the eighth for his 1,000th career hit. He went 3-for-4.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa Offensive Coordinator Brian Ferentz attracted a large crowd of reporters at the Hawkeyes’ annual football media day in Iowa City on Saturday. Ferentz begins his first season calling plays for the Iowa offense.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa senior running back James Butler talks with reporters at the Hawkeyes’ annual football media day in Iowa City on Saturday. Butler joined the Hawkeyes this season as a graduate transfer and rushed for more than 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons at Nevada.

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 expect-

ed 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. Hockenson, 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.”

While improving the passing game will be important and may even be the key to Iowa returning to a bowl game this season, Brian Ferentz won’t forget about Wadley, who is the most explosive player on the roster.

“We changed a few things.

Coach Brian Ferentz is a genius. He’s putting in new stuff every day,” Wadley said.

“There are different looks to make things fun. We just have to execute and win at the line of scrimmage. That’s what it will come down to.”

Testing Continued from Page 1B

AP Photo Justin Gatlin of the U.S. and Usian Bolt of Jamica hug after Gatilin beat the reigning Olympic champion in the men’s 100-meter dash Saturday in the 2017 world championships in London, England. Bolt has announced it would be his final 100-meter race in competition.

Golds: Gatlin takes gold in stunning fashion, spoils Bolt’s finale Continued from Page 1B Thompson, the Olympic champion from last year, came into the race as a big favorite. Sporting a flower bow in her headband and purple lipstick to stand out, she was never a factor and finished fifth in 10.98.

“I didn’t execute my race, which is a shame, but I’m healthy,” Thompson said.

“I don’t know what went wrong.”

On Saturday, Justin Gatlin won the men’s 100, beating Bolt.

The stunning reversal of Jamaica’s sprint fortunes was highlighted by the fact that it didn’t have a medalist in the women’s 100 for the first time in 14 years.

OK, so Gatlin may have ruined Usain Bolt’s going-away party with his surprise win in the 100 meters at the world championships.

Gatlin still did his best to soften the blow by bowing down to third-place finisher Bolt on his way off the track — a way of telling the people he knows what the Jamaican great has done for his sport.

“I have nothing but respect for him,” said Gatlin, who, at 35, is five years Bolt’s senior. “Even with me being older than him, he’s such an inspiration for me.”

Gatlin was booed at almost every turn this week in London — during introduc-

Hall of Fame Continued from Page 1B elected in their first year of eligibility. Taylor’s emotional speech during which he had to pause several times to compose himself was another highlight.

A third-round draft pick from Akron — just down the road from the Hall of Fame — Taylor’s 139 1/2 career sacks helped him make the All-Decade Team of the 2000s. He also was the NFL’s Man of the Year in 2007.

“I honestly can’t believe I am here,” said Taylor, who kissed the shaved head atop his bust when it was unveiled.

“In 1992 I was at the University of Akron, just 20 miles away. It took 20 years to travel 20 miles to put on this jacket. It was worth every step.”

The longest wait, 24 years, was by Easley, chosen for enshrinement by the seniors committee.

The hard-hitting safety for the Seahawks and a member of the 1980s All-Decade Team played only seven seasons and 89 games. But what an impact he made as an intimidator and ballhawk.

The 1981 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, Easley was the league’s top overall defender in 1984 when he had a league-leading 10 interceptions, a career high.

“I thank you for welcoming me into your exclusive club,” he said.

Andersen, the league’s career scoring leader, joined Jan Stenerud as the only placekickers in Canton.

A native of Denmark who knew nothing of American football when he came to

tions, at any time when his face showed up on the big screen, and never louder than when his name popped up on the top of the scoreboard as the winner in Bolt’s farewell 100-meter race at the worlds.

By now, Gatlin is used to it. With his doping past — his suspension ended in 2010 — the American has long been portrayed as the bad guy set against Bolt’s charismatic, fun-loving personality.

At the medal ceremony for Saturday’s 100 meters, Bolt received massive applause for his bronze medal and American silver medalist Christian Coleman was also warmly greeted by the crowd of about 60,000 spectators.

However, when Gatlin came up to receive his gold medal from IAAF President Sebastian Coe, the derisive booing returned but there was also a smattering of applause — some of it from Bolt. The negative intensity didn’t quite reach the peaks of the previous days when Gatlin ran.

Gatlin was Olympic champion in 2004, four years before Bolt’s reign, and world champion in 2017, with Bolt on the way out. Gatlin even borrowed some of Bolt’s tactics, too, surging from behind with a fantastic finishing kick to overtake Bolt and Coleman, a fellow University of Tennessee product and new silver medalist.

Gatlin’s time, 9.92 seconds, wasn’t all that

this country as a teenager, Andersen played an incredible 25 pro seasons, a league record.

A member of the NFL’s 1980s and ‘90s All-Decade Teams, he played 382 total games, scored 2,544 points (565 field goals, 849 extra points) and is the all-time scoring leader for both New Orleans and Atlanta.

“Good evening, Canton, Ohio,” he began. “Good morning Denmark.

“My story isn’t only about my love for my country of Denmark and its people, but also my deep appreciation and respect for what I discovered here in the United States of America.”

It took Warner years to get discovered by the NFL. By way of the Arena Football League, NFL Europe — and stocking shelves at a grocery store in between football jobs — Warner stepped in when Trent Green tore up his knee in a 1999 preseason game.

He went on to win two NFL MVP awards and one league title, reinvigorating moribund Rams and then Cardinals franchises along the way.

“People say Hollywood couldn’t have written it any better,” Warner noted. “After this, they don’t have a chance.”

Davis had a similar story. A sixth-round draft pick after a nondescript career at Long Beach State and Georgia, his mercurial NFL stay (seven years, five of them spectacular) had been something of a hindrance for entry into the hall. But he was the catalyst for the NFL titles Denver won in 1997 and ‘98 with another Hall of Famer, John Elway,

electric. But this was all about the win.

“It’s just so surreal right now,” Gatlin said.

“Usain said, ‘Congratulations, you deserve it.’ And that’s from the man himself.

He knows how hard I work.”

Bolt paid respect, too, and said the stereotypical casting of Gatlin as a villain has grown stale.

“He’s done his time and worked to be one of the best athletes,” Bolt said. “He’s one of the best competitors I’ve ever competed with. I know if I don’t show up, he’s always gonna win.”

Two years ago at worlds, it almost happened.

Gatlin made a tactical mistake in Beijing, going into his lean too early as Bolt won by 0.01 seconds. Hurtful as the loss was, an episode the next day during the medals ceremony was worse. Gatlin could be seen pointing toward the stands and chastising a fan. Turns out, that fan was heckling his mother.

Gatlin finished runner-up to Bolt at last year’s Olympics. Given the stakes for Bolt in London, this competition figured to be a race for second.

Turns out, there was more left in the tank for Gatlin, who says he has no immediate plans to retire and could be around for the 2020 Tokyo Games.

at quarterback.

The 1996 and ‘98 Offensive Player of the Year, 1997 Super Bowl Most Valuable Player and ‘98 NFL MVP, Davis’ meteoric stint came to an ugly end with a devastating knee injury in 1999. That in great part kept him out of the hall for more than a decade.

Now, he is in, having overcome migraines that plagued him since he was a teenager — and overcome the questions over the longevity of his NFL stint.

“The overwhelming feeling running through my body is gratitude,” he said.

The current Cowboys showed their gratitude to Jones by sticking around the area after winning the Hall of Fame game on Thursday night.

They were in the stadium for his induction, which Jones earned not only for winning three Super Bowls within six years of buying the team, but for being a power broker within the NFL. Jones has been a key figure as the league grew to a multi-billion dollar business, having a hand in many important decisions, from TV contracts to sponsorships to labor issues.

“As someone who owned a team, I was always thinking how we could go to the next level,” Jones said.

That next level for “America’s Team” is a value of $4.2 billion, the most for any sports franchise.

“Buying the Dallas Cowboys frankly was that kind of risk, even exaggerated in my mind,” Jones said of the 1989 purchase.

“But I knew it was now or never. Football kicked in.”

Both drivers gave the new car rave reviews.

“I think they addressed a lot of the things and the car looks great,” Montoya said. “I think having one aero kit for everybody is great for the sport. The car looks good and it drives really good.”

The process of creating the next-generation Verizon IndyCar Series car began in April 2016 when IndyCar set the criteria for potential manufacturers.

The goal was to make the car resemble past Indy car favorites with a sleek, bold look while incorporating the latest technological and safety advancements.

Longtime IndyCar partner Dallara Automobili will manufacture the universal kit to be used by all teams next season, following three seasons of aero kit competition between Chevrolet and Honda.

Following the test at Iowa Speedway, IndyCar will test the road/street/ short oval configuration again at Sebring International Raceway on Sept.

26.

A key component of the new car is its ability to generate most of its downforce from underneath as opposed to the top side, which differs from the current bodywork kits.

The change reduces the turbulence a leading car produces in its wake, improving the chances of a trailing car to make a pass.

More passing typically generates more exciting racing.

Soon after series testing is complete, Honda and Chevrolet will begin engine manufacturer testing using the new kits. IndyCar teams are scheduled to receive their aero kits in November, with individual team testing to begin in January 2018.

Astrograph

The full moon and lunar eclipse in the humanitarian sign of Aquarius helps us to appreciate philanthropic and diplomatic efforts, while also realizing that it is sometimes impossible to avoid the psychological drag of complicated community organizing. To the diplomat, diplomacy is a manner of being. To anyone else, it’s work.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 7). This solar return features a different way of using and appreciating money. The new ease in this area of life will help you get a creative endeavor off the ground. Clean, clear space, and make way for excitement in October. Spiritual

perception will be heightened in 2018. Karmic gifts center around felicitous relationships.

Pisces and Taurus adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 9, 50, 1, 28 and 42.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

In juggling and in life, the key to keeping all the balls in the air is freeing your hands up as soon as possible. “The world is won by those who let it go.”

-- Lao Tzu TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

There are levels to honesty.

Getting to the deeper levels will have nothing to do with morality, goodness or faithfulness. The deeper levels of honesty are about knowing

yourself and being willing to look at your needs and motives.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Forgiveness doesn’t change what happened, but it might change how you feel about what happened, thus altering the energetic imprint of the situation. Lighter living means carrying less of the past along with you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Sometimes stealing a kiss makes it more exciting to have it. But if you always have to steal your kisses, the relationship is casting you in the energetically demanding role of “sneaky thief.” Is it really worth the effort?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Maybe you’re afraid to get rid of

something because you fear you’ll need it in the future.

Have a little more faith in your own resourcefulness and your place in the universal order.

That is to say: You are precious and will be cared for.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

It won’t be easy to find what sparks your joy, but you’ll get closer by noticing what doesn’t. You’ll do this without judgment or snobbery. When you declare something to be a better fit for you, you’re not saying it’s better in general.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Some think there’s beauty in chaos. Others find sadness and anxiety there. Some chaos will be unavoidable today. What you do with it will fall somewhere between grace and art.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

There’s a thought you’d like to extract from your mind for fear that it will influence how you behave -- maybe even who you become. This one needs to be examined and broken down before you can build it back up.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

When you feel like putting the brakes on an endeavor, first put an investigation on it.

What was the purpose? Is that purpose still worth fulfilling?

Don’t quit before you examine why you started.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The competition among your family members will be particularly palpable, complex and unnecessary today. This is ancient business playing out in new ways.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You don’t have to be radically truthful with everyone, as that could (pointlessly) open a bag of worms. However, it might help to get a little more radically truthful with yourself.

What is it you want and need that you’re not getting?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes it feels like the same things are being offered over and over, year to year, town to town, person to person. This weary worldview is an indicator of soul-level exhaustion. Take a nice long break.
