By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News Residents will have an opportunity to see firsthand what it takes to be a police officer during this year’s Citizen Police Academy in September.

In its 21st year, the Newton Police Department will hold a nineweek course, beginning Sept. 19.

The course will run every Tuesday from 6 to 9 p.m. until Nov. 14.

Police Chief Rob Burdess said there are spots available for individuals to sign up until Aug. 31.

The class’s limit is 20 participants.

Burdess said applicants who don’t make it into this year’s class will be Burdess put on a priority list for next year.

During the 27 hours of classroom and handson training, participants will learn firearms safety and shooting, traffic enforcement, arrest tactics, shoot and don’t shoot scenarios, SWAT team/ search warrants, hiring process/requirements, emergency driving training, defensive tactics, non-lethal weapon deployment, crime scene investigations, narcotics investigations and OWI enforcement.

Burdess said he encourages individuals to sign up because it will allow police officers to connect with citizens in the community and grow the police and citizen relationship in a positive way.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News It is often said a picture is worth a thousand words. James Breckenridge, of Monroe, hopes his photograph, which was selected to be displayed at the Iowa State Fair, conjures up that and many more during its 11-day stay in the Cultural Center.

The photo, which features a courtyard ceiling from the wellknown Biltmore Estates in Asheville, N.C., was one of only 38 photos selected out of almost 300 submitted. Breckenridge traveled to the area last fall while vacationing in Myrtle Beach, S.C. “I knew the theme was ‘What’s Up’ so I tried to find anything I could that kind of fit that category and so that was one of the courtyards inside,” Breckenridge said.

“There is a lot going on so I thought it was pretty interesting.”

The symmetry of the architecture was appealing to Breckenridge and he applied several photography techniques to capture the photo.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Monday, Aug. 14, the 226th day of 2017. There are 139 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 14, 1947, Pakistan became independent of British rule.

On this date: In 1917, China declared war on Germany and Austria during World War I. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law.

In 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced that Imperial Japan had surrendered unconditionally, ending World War II. In 1967, folk singer Joan Baez performed a free concert on the grounds of the Washington Monument a day after she’d been denied the use of Constitution Hall by the Daughters of the American Revolution because of her opposition to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. In 1969, British troops went to Northern Ireland to intervene in sectarian violence between Protestants and Roman Catholics.

In 1980, workers went on strike at the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk (guh-DANSK’), Poland, in a job action that resulted in creation of the Solidarity labor movement.

Actress-model Dorothy Stratten, 20, was shot to death by her estranged husband and manager, Paul Snider, who then killed himself.

In 1992, the White House announced that the Pentagon would begin emergency airlifts of food to Somalia to alleviate mass deaths by starvation. Federal judge John J. Sirica, who had presided over the Watergate trials, died in Washington at age 88.

In 1997, an unrepentant Timothy McVeigh was formally sentenced to death for the Oklahoma City bombing.

Ten years ago: Teacher-astronaut Barbara Morgan transformed the space shuttle Endeavour and space station into a classroom for her first educational session from orbit, fulfilling the legacy of Christa McAuliffe, who died in the Challenger disaster in 1986.

Five years ago: Vice President Joe Biden sparked a campaign commotion, telling an audience in southern Virginia that included hundreds of black voters that Republican Mitt Romney wanted to put them “back in chains” by deregulating Wall Street. (Biden later mocked Republican criticism over the remark while conceding he’d meant to use different words.)

One year ago: At the Rio Olympics, U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte and three teammates reported being robbed at gunpoint; police later said the men were not robbed, and instead vandalized a gas station bathroom. Usain Bolt of Jamaica became the first person to win three straight Olympic 100-meter titles, blowing down the straightaway in 9.81 seconds.

That’s Odd Art exhibit expressly for canine critics debuts in NYC NEW YORK (AP) — You won’t find any pictures of dogs playing poker at DoGUMENTA. A three-day art exhibition curated expressly for dogs is attracting hundreds of canines to a marina in lower Manhattan, where hounds and terriers are feasting their eyes, and in some cases their mouths, on nearly a dozen masterpieces.

The idea is the brainchild of former Washington Post art critic Jessica Dawson, who says she was inspired by her rescue dog.

Entertainment Presley’s friends feel love, pain, 40 years after his death MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — It isn’t just the legend of Elvis Presley that has unmatched staying power 40 years after his death. The guilt, pain and regret felt by those who knew and loved him lingers, too.

Prolific session musician and producer Norbert Putnam was on vacation with his family in Hawaii when he heard his friend died of a heart attack. After years of making groundbreaking music and acting in more than two dozen movies, Presley’s career had slowed, and historical accounts of his life note he was fighting obesity and substance abuse when he passed away in his Graceland home in Memphis, Tennessee.

Putnam was standing in line to pay for items at a general store when he heard someone say Presley had died.

“I reached into my pocket, threw some money down, ran to the car, threw the food down, turned on the radio,” Putnam said in a phone interview with The Associated Press.

Putnam switched on the radio. The announcer said: “Elvis Presley died this morning.”

“I sat there in my car

and bawled like a child who had a toy taken away from him,” Putnam said.

“I could not believe it. I thought someone should have staged an intervention. I thought he could have been saved.”

Since Presley’s death, devotees of the swivel-hipped, smooth talking performer who was born into poverty in Tupelo, Miss., and became an international star have been flocking to Memphis for Elvis Week, the annual celebration of his life and career.

It coincides with the anniversary of Presley’s death in Memphis on Aug. 16, 1977, and it draws

visitors from around the world. Most fans will have their first glimpse of a newly built entertainment complex that has replaced and updated old exhibits focused on Presley’s cars, movies and memorabilia. An estimated 30,000 people are expected to attend a candlelight vigil that begins Tuesday night and continues into Wednesday morning at Graceland, where Presley is buried.

For the first time, Graceland will charge fans for access to Presley’s gravesite during the nighttime vigil. Visitors can pay $28.75 to join the procession leading to the

graves. The ticket also provides access to other parts of the property, Graceland said in a statement.

Putnam is scheduled to make a public appearance during Elvis Week to honor the late rock n’ roll pioneer. Bill Medley, the deep-voiced singer who comprised half of the Righteous Brothers duo before starting a solo career, will also be there.

Presley and Medley played the same hotel in Las Vegas in 1971. Their schedules kept them busy, but they still would catch each other’s shows.

Medley had a strong following, and Presley sang Righteous Brothers hits “Unchained Melody” and “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling.” They were friends dating back to the early 1960s.

Before Presley would go on stage at the Las Vegas Hilton, he and Medley would spend a few minutes together, talking about their mutual love for motorcycles and musical influences. Medley remembers those chats fondly, as Presley had few moments when he could just be himself, away from fans and handlers and an entourage known as the Memphis Mafia.

Academy

Newton man in critical condition following motorcycle accident

“Participants will have an opportunity to grow their relationship with police officers and open the lines of communication that will enhance citizen involvement and overall safety of the community,” Burdess said.

The academy is for those 18 or older. If someone is interested who is younger than 18, they must be accompanied by a parent and the decision to let them in is at the discretion of the police chief.

Applications are available at the police department or by emailing Janet Cox at janetc@ newtongov.org. Applications also can be printed from the City of Newton website at newtongov.org. For more information, call the police department at 641-791-0850.

Continued from Page 1A that law enforcement officers face daily,” Burdess said. “The nine-week course exposes participants to various aspects of a police officer’s duties through interactive and hands on activities and scenarios.”

Burdess said the course is always changing and improving each year based on the community’s feedback.

“The course is a week longer this year. Beyond that, every year the academy is a bit different as law enforcement tactics, procures, equipment and laws change,” Burdess said. “Participants who graduated from the course 10 to 20 years ago would see a much different class today than they did back then.”

An often overlooked benefit that comes from the academy is getting the officers involved.

Newton Daily News A Newton man is in the hospital following a motorcycle accident Tuesday.

Twent y-four-ye arold Jonathan S. Roney was air lifted to Mercy Hospital after he crashed while driving a motorcycle on Highway 14 just north of North Fourth Avenue West.

Roney was driving a 2005 red Suzi GSX1300 motorcycle at 9:12 a.m. southbound on Highway 14 when he was coming up a hill with a curve to the left. Roney couldn’t make the curve and went down the right side of the ditch.

The motorcycle and Roney then hit a residential driveway embankment and launched in the air. Roney and the motorcycle landed in the ditch on the other side of the driveway.

“It’s awesome because you get paid to learn, and it really helps you get through college,” Bare said.

Bare completed the program earlier this summer, and last week was his first week on the job as a full time technician at Noble. The skills

he learned during his classes and internship gave him the ability to hit the ground running from day one.

“It felt like the beginning of another internship, but it was the start of my full-time career,” Bare said. “The people are awesome to work with here, and I’ve got really good support.”

When Matt Lane, the Fixed Operations Director at Noble Automotive Group first met Bare, he knew immediately that Alex was going to have a long career in the automotive industry. He

was so impressed by Bare’s aptitude and willingness to learn he offered him a job at the dealership even before the internship began, just to give Bare a chance to get comfortable working in the shop.

He does the mounting himself before bringing his selections to a two-day entrance event in June at the fair. Following judging, photographers are notified about four weeks before the fair if their work will be on display.

While Breckenridge has been successful with his photography, he said it is mostly a hobby.

Live from Facebook Editor’s note: This column originally published Oct. 13, 2016 uring the height of the Apollo program in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the live broadcast of a Saturn V rocket launch was — pardon the expression— “Must See TV.” Families would huddle around the console television set for a front row seat to watch what was then the most powerful launch vehicle in history send three men into space — destination the Moon.

According to NASA, an estimated 600 million people worldwide watched live as Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the surface of the Moon and took humanity’s first steps on to a worldly body apart from Earth.

D

Trending Mike Mendenhall To beam this event into people’s living rooms took extreme coordination between the three major television networks in 1969 — ABC, NBC, CBS — NASA and the astronauts themselves.

It also took technology which was cutting edge nearly 50 years ago.

Only a fraction of the Apollo 11 audience watched last week as private space company Blue Origin tested the crew capsule escape system, but this launch in western Texas was live of Facebook.

Space.com’s live audience trackers showed at 6,100 people tuned in to their broadcast of the launch. There were no humans on board and the stakes were much lower than Apollo, but what Blue Origin and other private companies are

attempting is revolutionary in its own right — finding a cost effective, reusable launch vehicle to put humans into sub orbit for tourism, low Earth orbit and beyond — and the show is accessible even to a small device in our pockets.

Viewers could watch the launch from multiple camera angles as the New Shepard reusable launch system took off, the crew capsule jettison and landed safely back on Earth. Several minutes later, the unmanned rocket’s guidance system managed a vertical landing with the tank and engine. It was spectacular to witness.

It’s now possible to watch nearly any world event anywhere on the planet, as long as your mobile device in range of cellular data service. Anyone can broadcast what they’re doing live, in real time.

I’ve seen a Facebook friend live stream their trip to the grocery store cereal aisle to the eyes of two whole people.

But imagine if victims of the Nazi regime had been able to live broadcast

a Jewish concentration camp during World War II on social media or how viewpoints would have changed more quickly if violence against civil rights protesters in the 1950s and 60s could have been seen as they were happening.

We’re already seeing how live streaming has affected the current debate in the balance between proper law enforcement and racial tensions when the girlfriend of 32-year-old Philando Castile broadcast his death shortly after being shot by law enforcement following a traffic stop in July in a St. Paul, Minn suburb.

Every person now has the technology to show the events of their world as they happen. This can be a powerful tool to share positive achievements, human moments or to shed light on social negatives that were once left in the dark.

For better or for worse, live from Facebook it’s your world.

Regulating guns Have a gun license? Plan to bring your gun to my hometown? Don’t.

Mean New York authorities will make your life miserable.

Patricia Jordan and her daughter flew here from her home state of Georgia. She wanted her gun nearby for protection.

Jordan obeyed all the Transportation Security Administration’s rules: She put her gun in a locked TSA-approved case with its bullets separate. She informed the airline that she had a gun. The airline had no problem with that.

In New York City, she kept the gun locked in her hotel room. She never needed it, but her daughter told me, “I was glad she brought it just in case something did happen.”

When leaving the city, Jordan followed the TSA’s rules again. At the airline counter, she again told the agent she wanted to check her gun. But this time, she was told: “Wait.”

“Next thing I know, they’re getting ready to arrest me,” she said.

Her daughter was crying, “Please don’t arrest my mom!” But New York City cops arrested her, jailed her and told her she was guilty of a felony that mandates a minimum 3 1/2 years in jail.

Jordan’s ordeal is not unique. Roughly once a week, New York City locks up people for carrying guns legally licensed by other states.

Another Georgia visitor, Avi Wolf, was jailed although he didn’t even have a gun. He just had part of a gun — an empty magazine — a little plastic box with a small metal spring. He brought it to the city because it wasn’t working well and he thought a New York friend might repair it. He couldn’t believe he was being arrested.

“Somebody could’ve done more damage to an individual with a fork from McDonald’s,” Wolf told me.

Wolf, too, checked with the TSA beforehand. They said, just declare it to TSA agents. So he did.

“I’m telling them ... I have a magazine here. It’s empty, no bullets ... Next thing I know they’re pulling me over to the side, they’re like, ‘Do you know what you have in your bag?!’ ‘I know what I have in my bag, I told you what I have in my bag.’”

Following TSA instructions didn’t do Wolf any good. “Fast forward about an hour and it was four Port Authority police there. The chief of LaGuardia airport is there, [as if] they thought they found somebody trying to do 9/11 repeat,” he says.

“They asked me if I had a gun license. Of course I had a license. I’m from Georgia, and everybody there’s got a gun license. And they’re like, well, sir, you’re going to be getting arrested now.”

Wolf and Jordan spent less than a day in jail, but each had to pay lawyers $15,000 to bargain the felony charge down to “public disorder.”

“We are not going to apologize for enforcing our gun laws,” said Assistant District Attorney Jack Ryan when I confronted him about these pointless and cruel arrests. He said New York City enforces laws as “humanely and as compassionately as we can.”

But the system is neither fair nor humane.

Patricia Jordan kept her bullets separate from her gun, as TSA regulations require.

“The officer could not even find my bullets in my suitcase. I had to show him where they were,” she told me.

That didn’t matter, said the DA, because the gun and bullets were in the same suitcase.

“Under New York law, if they’re together, they’re loaded,” says Ryan.

“They’re loaded even if they’re not loaded?!” I asked. Yes, he said.

I called him a sadistic bully (the full video is at JohnStossel.com). He replied that New York City must make sure people are “not threats.”

New York claims this keeps us safe. But people like Jordan and Wolf actually make us safer. Texas data shows licensed gun owners are seven times less likely to murder someone than a nonlicensed person.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Soda doesn’t ‘feed the world’ Coca-Cola has a new ad in which a young girl wishes to grow a garden for the whole world. Then, as a grown woman who works for Coca-Cola, she says that she’s fulfilling that dream.

The phrase “feed the world” is one that should always be questioned, because it’s often used to promote the selfish aims of corporations that want to produce and sell as much food as possible — without regard to whether that food actually reaches the hungriest and most vulnerable people on the planet.

But, putting that aside, the sentiment is even more laughable when it’s touted by a beverage company.

Coca-Cola has a long history of selling its flagship product by playing on people’s emotions.

Coke drinkers associate the product with America, fun, family and sports.

In perhaps its most brilliant move, the company found a way to get Coca-Cola to the U.S. military while they fought in World War II in Europe.

American servicemen and women got a precious taste of home while fighting a grueling foreign war, and Coca-Cola got their lifetime brand loyalty — and the opportunity to build up

Another View Jill Richardson a bottling infrastructure across Europe so they could expand internationally after the war.

The new ad provides Coke drinkers with the warm and fuzzy feeling that their beverage of choice is helping the poor.

There are two problems with this idea.

First, soda in particular is bad for you. Especially when one has limited or no access to medical care — the plight of many poor people here and abroad — maladies like diabetes and tooth decay can be catastrophic.

In Appalachia, dentists refer to something they (unfortunately) call “Mountain Dew mouth.”

In that region, a quarter of preschoolers already have tooth decay. By age 18, more than one in seven have already had a tooth extracted because of the problem.

Second, the idea of “feeding the world” is usually based on the idea that the world doesn’t produce enough food to feed everyone. But that’s not true.

We do produce enough food —

more than enough — to feed the planet’s entire population. We just don’t distribute it equitably.

About 40 percent of the food in the U.S. is wasted, even while people in our country go hungry.

But even if production were the problem, if we were to get serious about using our agricultural resources to produce as much food as possible, then one way to do so is to stop wasting agricultural resources to produce things we don’t actually need: sodas, wine, beer, coffee, tea, cut flowers and so on.

I’m not suggesting we do this.

Far from it. I need my coffee and I appreciate a good beer. There are reasons to produce items that people enjoy even if they don’t technically need them. But, if that’s the business you’re in, don’t lie and claim you’re “feeding the world.”

I am not saying that nobody should drink soda, or that Coca-Cola should stop producing it. Let’s just be honest about what it is. It’s a sugary drink that provides no nutrition, and you may drink it because you enjoy it.

Husband gives up smoking, but his drinking persists

DEAR ABBY: I am married to a great guy. We’ve been together 27 years, so I know him well. He recently stopped smoking after 30 years of nicotine addiction. He did it cold turkey, and he’s been smoke-free for three months now. I’m proud of him and tell him so.

The problem is, when he drinks he gets drunk — which I’m used to — but then he starts saying (sometimes belligerently) that he wants a cigarette badly. I don’t know how to respond to this. I continue praising him for quitting and point out the health benefits that are already obvious — his breathing, returned senses, etc. — but it’s getting old.

Should I continue to say helpful things or just ignore him when he’s drunk? — DUMBFOUNDED IN DALLAS DEAR DUMBFOUNDED: Try this. Tell him calmly that his craving for a cigarette is normal, particularly if he used to smoke while consuming alcohol. Reassure him that with time the craving will lessen, and continue to reinforce that he did himself a huge favor by mustering up the willpower to quit.

Tell him you know it wasn’t easy and that the longer he resists the urge for a nicotine fix, the easier it will be for him to stay smoke-free.

The fact that he becomes “belligerent” when he drinks should be a sign to you that he probably shouldn’t be drinking either. Instead of keeping him company when he’s in his cups, consider leaving to attend an Al-Anon meeting. It’s a supportive organization created for friends and family members who are affected by a loved one’s alcohol consumption. It isn’t difficult to find a meeting. Just go to al-anon.org.

we had a healthy sexual relationship.

You know the saying, “Actions speak louder than words”? All the actions were there — he took me on amazing vacations, introduced me to all of his friends and family. But during all our time together, he never once expressed how he felt about me. He never even called me “Honey,” or “Babe.”

About a month ago, I told him how I felt. I came right out and asked if he loved me or had any kind of romantic feelings for me. He ignored my question! I guess he didn’t want to hurt me more by saying no. Two weeks later, he broke up with me.

I have been divorced for five years, while he has never been married or had a live-in girlfriend. He said his reason for breaking up was he felt our relationship was good but not great (!) and he didn’t think it ever would be. This is painful, but I can’t help holding onto hope. Should I just give up and move on? — GOOD, BUT NOT GREAT DEAR G.B.N.G.: Yes, for your own sake, you must. Give him credit for having been honest with you, but if after a year and a half he wasn’t able to summon up any romantic feelings for you, you must accept that it isn’t going to happen. Moving on may be painful for a while, but you will be doing yourself a big favor. Start now.

DEAR ABBY: I was in a relationship with a man for a year and a half. We got along great. We never argued, and

1 Powerball jackpot expected to

accused of drunken driving

be $430 million Wednesday

DES MOINES — The Powerball jackpot will continue to grow above $400 million this week because no one matched all the numbers in Saturday’s drawing. Lottery officials estimate that the jackpot for the next Powerball drawing on Wednesday will be $430 million. The Powerball prize will be the only big lottery jackpot this week because someone who bought a ticket in Palos Heights, Ill., won Saturday’s $393 million Mega Millions jackpot. But remember that the odds of winning Powerball remain long at one in 292.2 million.

2 Authorities investigate inmate death in Clinton County jail CLINTON — Iowa authorities are investigating the death of an inmate in the Clinton County jail.

SERGEANT BLUFF — A northwest Iowa school superintendent has been accused of drunken driving.

Court records say 57-year-old Rod Earleywine is scheduled to be arraigned Sept.

Johnston school district scrambling to hire teachers JOHNSTON — With only days to go until the new school year starts, the Johnston Community School District says it’s still scrambling to hire enough elementary school teachers.

School officials say the district will welcome its biggest classes yet as it works to overhaul several of its school buildings.

District spokeswoman Laura Sprague says district officials were taken by surprise by the large number of new families enrolling their children for the new school year.

Trial date set for teacher accused of not reporting abuse MARION — A November trial has been scheduled for a Marion kindergarten teacher accused of not reporting that a 15-yearold classroom volunteer sexually abused her students. Linn County records say a judge set a trial starting date of Nov. 6 for 59-yearold Diane Graham, who’s pleaded not guilty to failure to report child abuse. The trial was moved to Tama County from Linn County after Graham’s attorneys cited extensive media coverage of the boy’s and Graham’s cases.

Reynolds’ campaign declines to release more info on schedule DES MOINES (AP) — The gubernatorial campaign for Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds is declining to provide more information about blocks of time in her day-to-day calendar that she used to work on campaign-related events, arguing that releasing the information could give away strategy.

Phil Valenziano, Reynolds’ campaign manager, offered that explanation in response to questions about 10 items listed on Reynolds’ June calendar — her first full month in office — that reference the campaign but are blacked out.

Reynolds’ administrative staff provided her calendar in response to a public records request by The Associ-

ated Press but cited privacy exemptions in Iowa law for redacting more information about the items. Her office made the same redacReynolds tions for six campaign-related items in acting Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg’s June work calendar. Some of those items match up in both Reynolds’ and Gregg’s calendars, indicating they may have attended events together.

Valenziano said the items were a combination of political events, fundraisers, meetings and phone calls. But he

would not specify which item fell under what type of event.

“This level of detail I’ve provided you regarding how the political time is allocated exceeds what has been discussed publicly in past campaigns,” he wrote in an email.

“No campaign would ever detail exactly how much time is allocated to each activity, as it could possibly give away strategy.”

The redacted records still offer a glimpse at how Reynolds, a Republican, is trying to balance her new job as governor with her efforts to win a full four-year term in the 2018 gubernatorial race. Hours before a two-hour slot for a campaign-related item on the afternoon of June 1, Reynolds

met with the head of Iowa’s largest public pension system.

She had a similar two-hour block set aside the next day at 10:30 a.m., hours before the Republican Party of Iowa hosted an informal inaugural event for her. On June 26, she met with reporters, had a briefing about a While House event and attended a groundbreaking before a half hour campaign-related block in the afternoon. She had a separate campaign-related item later that evening.

The campaign-related time blocks, ranging from a half hour to two hours, were scheduled both on weeknights and during regular work hours, though no Iowa law dictates when a governor

Iowa man to have his quilts displayed in Kalona quilt museum MUSCATINE (AP) — When Don Zaehringer walks into a quilting store with his wife, store attendants usually ask his wife if she needs help.

“My wife will tell them, ‘No, talk to my husband.

He’s the quilter,’” he told the Muscatine Journal .

Having been a quilter for almost 30 years, Zaehringer, 69, is used to the surprised looks. He is also used to being part of a hobby traditionally thought of as a woman’s purview. Zaehringer is the only man in Muscatine’s Melon Patchers Quilt Guild, a club of at least 80 quilters.

“I do sometimes tell them, I say, you know .

I’m a member. You can just act like I’m one of the ladies,” he said.

This summer, the Muscatine native will have more than 20 of his quilts on display at the

Quilt and Textile Museum in Kalona, a town known as the quilt capital of Iowa.

“The main draw is the fact that he’s a man and he made quilts himself,” said Nancy Roth, managing director at the Kalona Historical Village.

“You don’t see too many men that make quilts.”

Zaehringer will be the second man whose quilts will be on display at the museum since it opened in 2000.

“One thing that he does a really good job with is his fabrics. You have some people that don’t match up their fabrics really well, but he does a phenomenal job matching up his textiles,” Roth said.

Zaehringer started quilting when he was 40 or 41. He had picked up fabric, probably from Walmart, and had into

a sewing machine, possibly from a friend. One day, he just started quilting.

“I just sat down, started cutting my material up,” he said.

He cut patches for that first quilt with scissors, as opposed to the more precise rotary cutter.

That first quilt took him months to make. Back then, Zaehringer worked at HON, packaging tables and later cabinets in an assembly line.

Quilts, he said, have an assembly-line component to them. The patterns repeat and so do the actions: tracing, cutting, sewing. Zaehringer works on his quilts for 20-25 hours a week, some of which he spends at his sewing machine, with his two dogs Cocoa and Minnie underfoot.

He spends the rest of his time hand-stitching de-

tails on his quilt tops.

“I’d rather spend my ... day out here or in my chair, hand-quilting,” he said, sitting at his sewing desk.

Part of the allure for him, he said, is to see the quilt grow from tiny patches that he traces to a larger pattern. As far as he can tell, he is an anomaly in his family. Neither his parents, nor his siblings quilt and he didn’t grow up around quilting.

One of his brothers does woodworking; no one else has a creative hobby.

“We never had anything like quilts around home,” he said.

But he is on a quest to make a quilt for everyone in his family. Thus far, he’s made quilts for six of his eight siblings and for some of his grandchildren.

“Everyone will have a quilt,” he said.

DEADLINE :

IOWA CITY — Data from the University of Iowa shows that more than half of undergraduate student workers at the university were paid less than $10.10 per hour this year.

The Johnson County Board of Supervisors set the local minimum wage level at $10.10 for 2017. However, the Iowa Legislature stripped local governments of the ability to set minimum wage higher than the state’s level this year.

The state’s minimum wage has been $7.25 for the last decade.

University data shows that more than 800 student employees made $8.20, which was the lowest wage listed among the more than 10,000 employees. Almost 350 students made more than $15 an hour.

“It’s really disappointing that the university doesn’t pay over half its student employees $10.10 an hour,” said Brad Pector, a UI senior who requested data from the university. “That’s just barely a living wage in Iowa City.”

The Iowa Policy Project, a research organization, said a person living without insurance in the Iowa City metro area would need to earn $13.19 for a living wage. Almost two-thirds of UI student employees make less than that amount.

Local & State News Cowgirl

Continued from Page 1A Each girl is judged on her horsemanship first, and then after a final cut has taken place each contestant will have to answer questions ranging from state issues, to matters of horsemanship.

The contest is one of the highlights of the Iowa State Fair, and on Friday night every seat in the building was filled with friends, family and onlookers. With girls from across the state competing for a chance to be crowned cowgirl queen the stakes were high, but Russell said she wasn’t feeling the heat. “Everyone gets along here, there’s a lot of girls like me that do this just for fun,�

Russell said, as she applied another coat of gloss black paint to Gopher’s hooves.

This is only the second year that Russell and Gopher have competed together in the contest, and she said they’re both still getting used to each other.

Showing horses, and com-

peting in the events at the fair every year, means Russell hasn’t had a “typical� fair. In between bathing Gopher, and making sure he’s had plenty of water, food and exercise she hasn’t had a chance to head out for a corndog or stopped to check out the butter cow. There’s chores to do every morning at home first, and then she’s got to take care of her horse. “When you show, you kind of get your fill of the fair, we don’t venture out of the barn for too long,� Russell said.

It’s a lot of work to get ready for the event, but Russell and her parents have become part of the community in the horse barns Russell’s mother Billie Joe, said the other families that show alongside Chelsea have become part of their family. “We’ve got our family, and we’ve got our horse family, too,� Billie Joe Russell said.

With so many girls competing the contest is divided into sections, called “go’s� where groups of 15-20 riders will each take the ring.

Inside, each girl will display

their horsemanship skills, running their horses through a cycle of walk, trot and lope, all under the watchful eye of the judges. Once they’ve seen enough, the judges will line up each horse and rider, and then the selection begins. Only five girls from each group will get a chance to move and compete in the final.

She says she always tells herself that she won’t get nervous, but once she’s in the saddle, looking out from under the black hat with its glittering tiara, Russell feels that old familiar feeling kick in. “More or less I’m just hoping that I’ll do better than I did last year,� Russell said.

Those ten minutes will represent the culmination of a week’s worth of work, from loading in at the fair on Tuesday morning, to the finale Friday under the lights. “It’s a lot of work for a ten minute ride, but it’s worth it,�

Billie Joe Russell said.

Colfax native wins psychology research grant PELLA — Central College senior Michaela Van Dusseldorp of Colfax tells a captivating story in her psychology research: After being sentenced to prison previously for grand theft, Jeremy Meeks was arrested again — this time for street terrorism, obstruction of justice and an illegal weapons charge.

However, when police shared his mugshot on Facebook, Meeks was quickly recognized not for his crimes, but for his stunning looks. He received a two-year sentence and after one year, was hired as a model for a major fashion company. Immediately after being released, Meeks strutted down the catwalk

at New York Fashion Week.

The story raises many questions about the effects of attractiveness in our society, says Van Dusseldorp. Would Meeks have received such a short sentence if he were unattractive? Would he have been treated similarly if he were black? There’s a significant gap in legal psychology, Van Dusseldorp says, and she’s working to find answers these questions. Last spring, Van Dusseldorp was accepted to present her work at the Midwestern Psychological Association conference in Chicago. Her research analyzed responses from more than 250 participants. This summer, she is one of 17

Central College students chosen to receive a research grant, enabling her to expand this research further with assistant professor of psychology Ashley Scolaro.

This research might surprise you — what would you expect to observe when juries sentence offenders?

True or false? White, attractive defendants are most likely to receive lenient sentences.

False. This is the main question in Van Dusseldorp’s research with Scolaro, and she found no significant difference in sentence length. The sentences are in fact nearly identical for any combination between black or white and

attractive or unattractive defendants. Wondering how researchers measure attractiveness?

Scolaro and Van Dusseldorp chose photos from the Chicago Face Database, using the collection’s most and least attractive images, based on data from previous studies.

True or false? Defendants are likely to be sentenced more harshly for a crime that fits racial stereotypes.

True. Researchers have shown that individuals of different races are often associated with certain crimes. For example, Van Dusseldorp explains, individuals easily associate black offenders with violent crimes like gang activity, while white offenders are easily associated with white-collar crimes like embezzlement. This is where studies do reveal a

tendency for harsher sentences — whenever the crime fits a racial stereotype. Jurors are more confident in their decisions, says Van Dusseldorp, when their pre-existing beliefs are confirmed. In fact, jurors even remember evidence better if it agrees with cultural stereotypes — and rely on that evidence when deciding sentences. In Van Dusseldorp’s study, defendants are charged with vehicular manslaughter, a non-stereotypic crime.

True or false? Attractiveness will always work in defendants’ favor.

False. Although attractive defendants often receive more lenient sentences, Van Dusseldorp explains, this only occurs when their crimes have nothing to do with their beauty. This theory has

been tested with crimes like swindling, when offenders use manipulation and deception to steal a person’s money. In such cases, jurors are more likely to judge offenders harshly for abusing their power of attractiveness.

True or false? Jurors are most likely unaware of any bias or racial prejudice.

False. Van Dusseldorp concludes that, contrary to popular belief, many Americans are hyper-aware of racial prejudice and biases. Other studies have shown jurors may exhibit signs of implicit racial bias until they deliberate as a group. At that point, Van Dusseldorp explains, jurors are forced toward explicit bias, and they make an effort to control and reduce any prejudices to adhere to social norms.

Schatz is 2017 Knoxville Nationals champion Newton Daily News KNOXVILLE — Donny Schatz continues to add to his legendary resume at the Knoxville Raceway, as he took his 10th career championship in the 57th Annual 5-hour ENERGY Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s General Stores Saturday night at the Knoxville Raceway.

It was the 10th win in 12 years for the Fargo, N.D., driver, and his eighth aboard the Tony Stewart Racing No. 15.

The win was worth $150,000.

Schatz held off a late charge

by Kyle Larson to secure the victory in the 50-lap race.

Larson took second. Kerry Madsen took third.

“I did everything I could to get by (in traffic),” Schatz said in Victory Lane. “That’s how it works some days. You can’t be frustrated by it. You have to figure out what to do. I was off the pace, I knew someone would be coming (at the end of the race).

“We’re glad to get this win.

This whole race team is incredible with what they do.

We just won the Knoxville Nationals,” Schatz said.

David Gravel led early over Schatz and Madsen. On Lap 19, Austin McCarl went up in smoke, bringing the first caution of the event. Gravel led Schatz, Madsen, Brad Sweet and Brian Brown back to green flag racing. Defending champion, Jason Johnson came from 21st into the top 10 by Lap 20.

Gravel lost his motor while leading on Lap 22 with Schatz going to the front. Larson drove by Brown and Sweet for third on the restart.

A caution for Terry McCarl,

who slowed after getting into the turn three wall, slowed things again. The mandatory stop was implemented.

Justin Thomas rallies to win the PGA Championship CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Justin Thomas emerged from the shadow of a longtime friend and won the PGA Championship to take his place among the young elite in golf.

With two big breaks to start the back nine, a chip-in for birdie and a 7-iron that soared over the water to a peninsula green, Thomas closed with a 3-under 68 and won by two shots. The PGA Championship was the most fitting major for the 24-year-old son of a PGA professional.

Mike Thomas, a former PGA board member and longtime pro in Kentucky, walked along the edge of the 18th green and into the arms of his son, a major champion.

The week began with Jordan Spieth’s quest for a career Grand Slam. Spieth was at the 18th green late Sunday afternoon at Quail Hollow, but only so he could celebrate the moment with Thomas, close friends since they were 14.

“So awesome, dude,” Spieth told him.

It was every bit of that.

With five players still in the mix in the final hour, Thomas

surged ahead by chipping in from 40 feet on the par-3 13th hole, and holding his nerve down the stretch as his challenger eventually faded, one after another.

Hideki Matsuyama, bidding to become the first player from Japan to win a major, appeared to recover from back-to-back bogeys with two straight birdies on the 14th and 15th holes to get within one shot. But the championship turned on the 16th hole.

Thomas faced a 6-foot par putt to stay at 8 under. Matsuyama caught a good lie over the green and chipped to 5 feet.

Thomas wasted no time over the putt and drilled it in the center of cup. Matsuyama missed and was two shots behind.

Thomas sealed it with a 7-iron from 221 yards that cleared the water and rolled out to 15 feet. The birdie putt curled in and his lead was up to three going to the 18th. A final bogey only affected the score.

He finished at 8-under 276, his fourth victory of the year.

Kevin Kisner was the last one who had a chance to catch him. But he three-putted from 100 feet on the 16th for bogey, couldn’t birdie the 17th from long range and hit his second shot into the water and finished with a double bogey. Kisner, the 54-hole leader, closed with a 74.

Matsuyama also hit into the water on No. 18 and made bogey for a 72 to finish three back.

Louis Oosthuizen (70), Patrick Reed (67) and Francesco Molinari (67) tied for second, though none had a chance to win playing the 18th.

Americans win 30 medals at world track and field championships LONDON (AP) — Allyson Felix earned a second gold medal on Sunday and highlighted the overwhelming performance of the United States at the 10-day world championships.

In doing so, Felix made sure she became the most decorated Felix athlete in the history of the event — and that

includes Usain Bolt.

Felix won gold in the 4x400-meter relay a day after winning the same color medal in the 4x100 relay. She also earned a bronze medal in the 400-meter race to give her 16 in her career. Bolt finished his career with 14.

“It’s an honor to run in the relay for Team USA,” said Felix, who won her first medals at the 2005 worlds in Helsinki.

In a world championship of upsets right up to the last event, Trinidad and Tobago beat the

United States in the men’s 4x400, producing only a little dent in an all-powerful performance.

The Americans finished with 30 medals, 10 of them gold. That was only one short of the overall record held by East Germany.

Bolt, however, will leave London without a gold medal. Running at his last major championship this week, the Jamaican got a royal farewell from the 60,000 fans at the Olympic Stadium on Sunday as they cheered his famed “To The World” pose.

and Shane Stewart back to green. Madsen took a shot at the leader, but a slider in turn two fell short, allowing Larson to cruise by into second.

With five laps to go, Schatz

entered lapped traffic again.

With several cars side by side in front of him, Larson would close.

“Kyle normally finds everything there is in a race car.

You got to stay on your toes with him. He’s an awesome sprint car driver,” Schatz said.

“It stinks that he has another career to deal with. I’m just glad he’s part of the sport and still comes back.”

On the white flag lap, Larson would make a sliding attempt in turn three that would fall short. Larson left Knoxville following the race to return to Brooklyn, Mich, for Sunday’s NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series race.

Larson drove the Chip Ganassi No. 42 Target Chevrolet to victory in the Pure Michigan 400.

“That was a fun, tough race,” Larson said. “We had some good restarts and got to second. We were maintaining pace with him. I hammered the wall coming off four coming for the white. I feel that if I hadn’t done that, I could have gotten a run and maybe cleared him in two. I just made a costly mistake and ended up second.”

Stewart, Sweet, Brown, Aaron Reutzel, Rico Abreu, Daryn Pittman and Ian Madsen rounded out the top 10.

Rager Phillips won the E main, Jamie Veal won the D, James McFadden claimed the C, and Jason Sides emerged victorious in a highly competitive B main.

Iowa still undecided between Stanley and Wiegers at quarterback IOWA CITY (AP) — The competition for Iowa’s vacant quarterback job will extend into at least next week.

Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz said Saturday following a public workout at Kinnick Stadium that junior Tyler Wiegers and sophomore Nathan Stanley will continue to split repetitions with the first team as the coaching staff tries to find a replacement for two-year starter C.J. Beathard.

Stanley moved past Wiegers as a true freshman in 2016, but he doesn’t appear to have distanced himself much during spring or fall camp. Ferentz said that a scrimmage set for Friday could help separate the two, but for now he’s content to let Stanley and Wiegers continue to compete for the starting job.

Iowa opens its season on Sept. 2 at home against Wyoming.

“It’s gone back and forth a little bit,” Ferentz said. “Both guys have done some good things, and both guys have done some things that they’d like to change, take back.

That’s what you’d expect.

They’re both gaining ground.”

The passing game is by far the biggest question the Hawkeyes will need to answer in 2017.

Iowa’s wide receiving corps is inexperienced and neither quarterback has shown enough to offer hope that they can help fix an attack that averaged a paltry 153 yards a game — 118th out of 128 FBS teams.

Stanley appears to have the bigger arm, while Wieg-

ers is a more vocal leader. Stanley looked like the more impressive of the two on Saturday, throwing for a pair of long touchdown passes in scrimmage-like drills, but Ferentz insisted that that wasn’t necessarily indicative of how the pair has performed throughout preseason practice.

Sophomore Ryan Boyle is third on the depth chart and freshman Peyton Mansell — who made some impressive plays on Saturday — appears to be in line to redshirt.

“We’re trying to measure the whole body of work,” Ferentz said.

Ferentz also announced on Saturday that graduate transfer receiver Matt Quarells has been cleared to play.

Quarells graduated from New Mexico in just three years and will have two years of eligibility at Iowa. Quarells caught 11 passes last year for the Lobos, who transitioned to a ground-based attack and averaged less than 15 pass attempts a game.

Quarells missed the first two weeks of fall camp. But given Iowa’s lack of depth at receiver, he could find himself in the rotation before long.

One of the newcomers to stand out in preseason practice has been freshman defensive end A.J. Epenesa, who’ll almost certainly play this fall.

The 6-foot-5, 270-pound Epenesa, a five-star recruit and arguably the biggest prep star that Iowa has ever signed under Ferentz, broke through the backfield on a number of occasions during drills on Saturday.

Larson’s busy weekend ends with win at Monster Cup win at Michigan BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Kyle Larson’s ambitious weekend ended in triumph.

Larson slipped between cars on an overtime restart and won Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway. The victory capped a busy stretch for Larson after team owner Chip Ganassi allowed him to go to Iowa to compete in the Knoxville Nationals on Saturday.

He finished second at that sprint car event before returning to Michigan and earning his fourth career Cup victory.

“This win feels amazing to steal one in a way,” Larson said. “My other three wins I felt like we had the first- or second-best car, but today at times I didn’t think we were a top-10 car. But to get the win that way is awesome.”

Martin Truex Jr. was in the lead, about a second ahead of teammate Erik Jones, before a late caution came out because of a spin by Michael McDowell. That forced overtime.

A red flag for oil on the track only added to the drama, and when the race restarted for the final time, Larson — who hadn’t led at all to that point — drove to the right of Jones and passed to the inside of Truex.

“We got beat fair and square,” said Truex, the series points leader. “The double-file restarts are tricky, and sometimes you do them right, sometimes you screw them up, and unfortunately I screwed the one up that mattered the most today.”

Larson has won the last three Cup races at MIS, the first driver to do that since Bill Elliott, who won four straight from 1985-86. This was Larson’s third win of the season

and ended a mini-slump in which he had finished out of the top 20 in three straight races.

Truex and Jones finished second and third for Furniture Row Racing.

Larson won by 0.31 seconds in his No. 42 Chevrolet. Brad Keselowski and Truex won the first two stages.

There was a lot of hoopla Friday when Ganassi an-

nounced he was letting Larson go to Iowa. Both driver and owner were going to be in the spotlight no matter what happened in Sunday’s race.

“When you’re in my position of this past week’s activities with all the talk about Knoxville and going to Knoxville last night and not getting back here until two in the morning, I’m out on the end of the diving board there a lot

of times,” Ganassi said. “So I appreciate when Kyle steps up and does what he did today. It makes it all worthwhile.”

Keselowski, the pole winner, led for 105 laps, but finished 17th. He is now winless in 17 Cup races at his home state’s track.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 14th in his final race at MIS before he retires at the end of this season.

Ohioan Sam Hornish Jr. wins XFinity Mid-Ohio race LEXINGTON, Ohio (AP) — Sam Hornish Jr.’s experience at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course finally paid off.

Hornish Jr. dominated in his home state to win the XFinity Mid-Ohio Challenge on Saturday.

“I think I’ve been second or third here a few times in other series but could never win,” he said. “To finally punch that ticket means a lot to me.”

Hornish, from Defiance, Ohio, took the lead from rookie Daniel Hemric on lap 62 of 75 after the seventh caution.

He beat Hemric by 1.335 seconds for his fifth victory in 117 XFinity races.

Hemric acknowledged that Hornish had a home-course advantage, especially when it came to handling the 13 turns over the 2.258-mile track.

“Sam’s been around here a lot,” he said. “I’m proud of how we bounced back and had a chance to win at the end.”

Hornish, who was second in the race last year, led for 61 laps and avoided a 10-car pileup on lap 69 that resulted in the second red flag. There were also nine cautions.

Rookie Matt Tifft, a Hinckley, Ohio, native was third, 2.373 seconds back of Hornish. James Davison and Andy Lally completed the top five.

“We played defense a little bit,” Tifft said. “We kind of let

Dickey helps Braves stop Cards’ eight-game win streak ST. LOUIS (AP) — Brandon Phillips knows what to expect from Cardinals fans.

“Oh yeah, it’s nice for Boo Phillips to come back to St. Louis, man,” Phillips said. “I love playing here.”

Phillips hit a two-run homer to back R.A. Dickey, and the Atlanta Braves stopped the Cardinals’ season-high, eightgame winning streak with a 6-3 victory Sunday.

Phillips connected in the fifth for his 10th home run this season and the 17th of his career against St. Louis. Phillips is still booed by Cardinals fans

for his part of a bench-clearing brawl when he played for Cincinnati in 2010.

Dickey (8-7) allowed one run and seven hits in seven innings.

Atlanta stopped a five-game losing skid, and beat the Cardinals for the first time in six meetings this year.

Arodys Vizcaino pitched a perfect ninth for his first save since Aug. 5.

Michael Wacha (9-5) gave up four runs and five hits in eight innings, just the second time in 10 starts he allowed four or more earned runs.

the guys sort themselves out.”

Blake Koch of Kaulig Racing from Akron, Ohio, won the first stage ahead of Brennan Poole.

Hornish, who won the pole, easily took the second 20-lap

stage by 4.645 seconds over Hemric.

After Hornish lost the lead on a pit stop, he regained it on lap 46 when he went sideby-side with Hemric through turns 5 through 9 before taking the inside position and pulling away.

“It was our race to lose today,” Hornish said. “I had a good battle with Daniel.”

Elliott Sadler, the series points leader, was sixth.

Who’s Hot: Hemric continues to do well with his first 10top finish at Mid-Ohio and his ninth top-10 finish this year.

Who’s Not: Sheldon Creed and Cole Custer, in the No. 01 and 00 cars respectively, went off for extensive repairs after the first lap. Custer dropped some oil on the course, necessitating a caution, and Creed went out with mechanical problems. Creed ran 56 laps, one spot ahead of Custer, who completed 54 laps.

Quotable: Tifft qualified fifth but dropped to as low as 37th before his strong finish.

“It wasn’t the greatest start,” he said. “I had to be patient. I had to be smart.”

Cubs top D-backs, re-take one-game NL Central lead PHOENIX (AP) — Jake Arrieta won consecutive starts for the first time since April, Javier Baez and Ian Happ hit consecutive home runs in the eighth inning and the Chicago Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-2 Sunday.

Kris Bryant put the Cubs ahead when he scored from second on a wild pitch from Zack Godley in the first inning on strike three to Victor Caratini. The reigning NL MVP added his 21st home run of the season in the ninth inning, reaching base for the 13th time in 15 plate appear-

ances during the three-game series.

Chicago reopened a onegame lead over St. Louis in the NL Central. Arizona, bidding for an NL wild-card berth, lost for the sixth time in eight games.

Arrieta (12-8) allowed one run and three hits in six innings, striking out six and walking three.

Paul Goldschmidt hit his 28th homer in the ninth.

Baez’s three-run homer off Jake Barrett, a drive into the second deck in left, put the Cubs head 5-1.

Darrell Wallace Jr wins in first Truck race since 2014 BROOKLYN, Mich.

(AP) — In his first NASCAR Truck Series race in three years, Darrell Wallace Jr. looked as if he had never left.

Wallace held off a late challenge from Christopher Bell to win Saturday at Michigan International Speedway. After taking the lead in his No. 99 Chevrolet with about 10 laps remaining, Wallace had to contend with Austin Cindric and Bell toward the end. He was able to edge Bell by 0.176 seconds.

“I knew those last laps were going to be hectic,” Wallace said.

Wallace hadn’t driven in a Truck race since 2014, when he won four times. He drove full time on the Xfinity Series in 2015 and 2016. He actually has a two-race winning streak in Truck races, since he won the finale three years ago.

Kyle Busch won the first two stages Saturday and looked dominant, but his car showed a bit of damage after an incident in which Cody Coughlin bounced hard off a barrier to the inside. Busch fought back but had to settle for third place in the 100lap, 200-mile race.

Cindric led for a while, but when he and Bell fought for the lead with about 10 laps remaining, Wallace was able to pass them both .

“It came way too early. I did not want to make that move,” Wallace said.

“But I also didn’t want to be a sitting duck and let that opportunity go to waste.”

Wallace, who is known by the nickname “Bubba,” now has six career Truck victories.

Xfinity sponsorship dried up, and he has only 12 starts on that circuit this year. In June at Pocono, he became the first black driver to make a Cup start since 2006.

Wallace’s car was sponsored Saturday by Maestro’s Classic.

“For the rest of the year, I don’t know,” Wallace said. “Think we can line something up more with Maestro’s here. I think they’re all pumped up. I mean, I had to go out there and win for them, so they have to come back for a second one at least. ... Nothing set in stone for right now.

“I’ll be on the sidelines again for three weeks, three months — who knows?”

Ryan Truex finished fourth, followed by Cindric and pole winner Matt Crafton.

Who’s Hot: Bell, the points leader coming in, now leads by 37 over Johnny Sauter. He nearly got the better of Wallace at the end.

“I felt like I was in the perfect position to win the race, and just didn’t get it done,” Bell said.

“I’m happy for Bubba.

That’s really cool for him.”

Who’s Not: John Hunter Nemechek made it through only four laps.

An early spin left him with a 29th-place finish, and he dropped from fifth to eighth in the standings.
