DES MOINES — You’ve just danced your heart out in front of more than 1,000 people and a group of judges is huddled off stage to decide your fate, there is nothing to calm the nerves like an impromptu dance party — especially if you’re whip and nae nae-ing next to Iowa State Fair mascots Fairfield and Rosetta.

Marketing board discusses potential events for Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

The Newton Community Marketing Board discussed several upcoming opportunities for the city including a possible invitation to be a RAGBRAI host city during its Thursday meeting.

Community Marketing Manager Danielle Rogers said the city received paperwork to fill out for annual statewide bike ride but it in no way indicated Newton would be selected next year.

“The mayor received a packet of information.

(Right now) it is just information gathering,”

quartet did not place in the top three, but offstage Thursday after the announcement the girls said they’re already planning for next year’s Talent Search.

“It’s a big deal to us because we do competitions, but never at the state fair,” Rorabaugh said. “It’s just fun.”

The foursome has been performing at dance competitions all season, and practicing together every Tuesday to prepared for the Anne and Bill Riley Stage.

New endoscopy suite opens at Skiff Medical Center Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Right: Visitors to the open house for the new endoscopy suite at Skiff Medical Center Thursday are greeted at the doorway with an inflatable colon showing the reaction of various diseases on a grand scale. Skiff Chief Operating Officer Sonja Ranck said the new endoscopy suites are much lighter and much brighter giving the patients a more comfortable experience during the procedures.

Above: Endoscopy procedures are the most frequently performed procedures at the hospital Ranck said. Having state-of-the-art suites in Newton provides much needed convenience for residents instead of having to travel out of town due to long wait times. The suite was paid for using funds returned to the hospital from the city of Newton following the Mercy acquisition.

Rogers said. “All they are wanting from this is to get updated information. I think they decide to send it to city’s who have done it in the past as well as bigger cities who fall in different sections.”

Rogers said RAGBRAI made it very clear that receiving the packet in no way guarantees a community host city status. Even with no preference shown to Newton, the board members were excited about the possibility of bringing the event back to the city.

Newton last served as a host city in 2006.

Due to ongoing construction at Berg Middle School, buses will be in a new location when school starts next week.

Newton Community School District administrators say the changes are necessary to ensure there is adequate space,

although it means parents will lose access to popular pickup and drop off points at the school.

Previously Berg buses parked behind the school, with the front drive off Fifth Avenue East used for parents to drop off and pick up students. That area will now be used as a staging area for buses, with a new drop off and pick up location designated for parents off East 19th Street North on the west side of the building. The front drive will open to passenger vehicles between the hours of 8 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to make it

Central Iowa Today Today in History

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Aug. 18, 2017

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Friday, Aug. 18, the 230th day of 2017. There are 135 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 18, 1587, Virginia Dare became the first child of English parents to be born in present-day America, on what is now Roanoke Island in North Carolina.

(However, the Roanoke colony ended up mysteriously disappearing.)

On this date: In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson issued his Proclamation of Neutrality, aimed at keeping the United States out of World War I. In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, guaranteeing all American women’s right to vote, was ratified as Tennessee became the 36th state to approve it.

In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King dedicated the Thousand Islands Bridge connecting the United States and Canada.

In 1969, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in Bethel, N.Y., wound to a close after three nights with a mid-morning set by Jimi Hendrix.

In 1976, two U.S. Army officers were killed in Korea’s demilitarized zone as a group of North Korean soldiers wielding axes and metal pikes attacked U.S. and South Korean soldiers.

In 1983, Hurricane Alicia slammed into the Texas coast, leaving 21 dead and causing more than a billion dollars’ worth of damage. The Kansas City Royals defeated the New York Yankees, 5-4, in the completion of the “pine-tar” game in just 12 minutes.

In 1988, Vice President George H.W. Bush accepted the presidential nomination of the Republican National Convention in New Orleans.

In 1997, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the nation’s largest Lutheran body, voted for closer ties with three other major Protestant denominations: the Presbyterian Church (USA), the United Church of Christ and the Reformed Church in America.

Ten years ago: Alarmed tourists jammed Caribbean airports for flights out of Hurricane Dean’s path as the monster storm began sweeping past the Dominican Republic and Haiti. NASA, meanwhile, ordered space shuttle Endeavour back to Earth a day early out of fear Dean might disrupt flight operations.

Five years ago: Tropical Storm Helene quickly weakened into a tropical depression after moving ashore on Mexico’s Gulf Coast.

One year ago: At the Rio Games, Jamaica’s Usain Bolt completed an unprecedented third consecutive sweep of the 100- and 200-meter sprints.

Police check out man looking for dentures BERLIN (AP) — A wary woman in southern Germany alerted police after a man buzzed on the door and asked for permission to search her balcony for his false teeth.

Police in Rheinfelden near the Swiss border reported Thursday that an interrogation of the 56-year-old man soon showed that his unusual request was sincere. He said he had visited a friend living a few floors above the woman and lost his dentures while sitting on the friend’s balcony.

Police say the man’s dentures had fallen off the balcony and he was simply trying to track down his much-needed teeth.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ronald Dantowitz has been looking forward to Monday’s solar eclipse for nearly 40 years.

An astronomer who specializes in solar imaging, he’s been photographing eclipses for more than three decades, and will be using 14 cameras to capture the Aug. 21 celestial event. The cameras have solar filters to capture the eclipse in its partial phases, along with custom modifications that can photograph the corona and light wavelengths that are invisible to the human eye, allowing scientists to view and study the sun’s temperature and composition in a way only possible during a total eclipse, he said.

Local & State News Busing Continued from Page 1A easier for parents to have access to the school during the day.

All fifth and sixth-grade traffic will be diverted to the rear of the school. Parents will use the large “U” drive-through area north and west of the school.

From this drop-off zone, fifth and sixth grade students will enter the school through the doors north of the cafeteria. Seventh and eighth-grade students will continue to be dropped off at the east end of the building, walk along the sidewalk and enter the front doors.

During the morning time of 7:15 to 8 a.m. and the afternoon time of 2:30 to 3:30 p.m., nonschool vehicles will be prohibited from using the Fifth Avenue turnaround in the front of the school.

Berg Middle School Principal Lisa Sharp said staff at the building has been working diligently to get the word out to parents about the changes.

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Aug. 18, 2017 | 3A

“We’ve tried to get the word out to parents in multiple ways, by sending emails to parents, putting it on our Facebook page, I’m not sure what else we can do,” Sharp said.

Opening up the front drive to bus traffic has also meant that several trees in front of Berg needed to be trimmed back in order to accommodate larger vehicles.

Curt Roorda, the district’s supervisor of transportation, said in addition to the changes at Berg bus services were undergoing numerous changes ahead of the 2017-18 school year. In a memo posted on the district’s website parents are advised to be aware of changes to schedules.

Previously, the district ran four in town bus routes and 11 country routes. This year there will 10 in town routes, and every route has been reconfigured. Roorda said the district is still in the process of checking run times and finalizing schedules for the upcoming school year.

Board President Travis Padget, who is running for re-election said he feels like there’s still more he can contribute to the school system in Newton. Nearing the end of his first term on the board, Padget said he found plenty of challenges and rewards to being part of the board.

“There’s so much learning during the first four years, I feel like four years isn’t enough,” Padget said.

Board members need time to learn how the board works, and to gain a solid understanding of the financial decisions that the board faces Padget said. He said he’s focused on making constant improvements, and he hopes interest in serving on the board will increase.

“I think there’s a passion for it, but when people see the real work that’s involved they are not as exciting, so it can be hard to find a lot of extra interest,” Padget said.

With four candidates seeking seats on the board this year Padget said he’s thrilled to see residents taking an interest in contributing to the school system.

“It’s too important to leave open to random chance,” Padget said.

What is luxury living?

Ask Re/Max Real Estate Concepts SPONSORED BY Jo Jenkins

By Diane Krieger Spivak When we think of luxury homes most of us envision an in-ground swimming pool, a big luxurious kitchen, saunas and a home gym.

Those amenities are found in luxury living, certainly, but how exactly do the experts define “luxury?”

It’s not necessarily what you might think, and it’s definitely not just the high price tag, according to realtor. com, because a million-dollars that buys a luxury home in the Midwest may only get you a bungalow in California.

Rule of thumb, however, is that in most cases luxury homes begin at around $500,000 and go up from there. And although there is no hard and fast definition of a luxury home, they do have certain common amenities that you won’t find in your run-ofthe-mill dwelling.

If the home carries a high price tag compared to others in the area, it can be considered luxury. Additionally, luxury

homes are always located in areas that are the most soughtafter, like the beach, in a highrise smack in the middle of an affluent city with high-end shopping, the mountains, or a gorgeous valley surrounded by other luxury homes.

Luxury living also typically involves higher end materials, appliances and design such as marble, hardwood, plaster or crystal, says realtor.com How about an in-house theater, pub, wine cellar or live-in closet?

Some are wired throughout with high-tech amenities and others are “green” with all ecofriendly amenities.

Privacy is also sought after by many who live in luxury, who equip their homes with walls, thick foliage, gated entrances and expensive security. And, adds realtor. com, luxury homes often have a history, which makes them more valuable.

But in the end, says realtor. com, luxury is in the eye and mind of the beholder.

while things may look a little different at first, he’s confident bus drivers will have things running smoothly in no time.

Roorda urged parents to be patient as drivers get adjusted to new routes and new students.

“If today is not your day, keep your head high. You’re still part of the Billy Riley Talent Search family,” Riley Jr. said.

In the tradition of Bill Riley Sr., the sprouts do not compete beyond the semi-finals but perform in the championship show as sprout champions.

Thursday’s sprout champions were ballet soloist Samuel Fine, 11, of Windsor Heights; vocal soloist Mackenzie Crawford, 12, of Sioux City and tap soloist Trinity Brincks, of Fredricksburg.

It comes with age

So Anyway Dana King

Editor’s Note: This column was originally published May 28, 2015 ’m set in my ways. Always have been. However, over the years, some of my ways have changed. Some for the better. Others? Not so much.

In my younger days, it always bothered me that my mother-in-law had a hodgepodge of dinner plates in her cabinet. I was brought up with all the plates matching. But having raised boys with some of the same genetic DNA as the three boys my mother-in--law raised, I now know why she couldn’t keep a complete matching set.

In fact, I’d been using the same stoneware for 33 years until this spring, when I finally went out and purchased new dinnerware. By the time I retired my old plates, they had been supplement-

ed with two additional styles over their lifespan. Do you find it as ironic as I do that my daughter hated those old plates?

I like routine. Therefore the last place I should be working is a newspaper.

There’s not much routine about this job.

Things change from week to week, day to day, even minute to minute. But after 17 years of “newspapering,” I’ve learned to adapt and thrive on the challenges and changes at work.

I like organization. It’s necessary for me to keep things in order — both in my head and at my desk. I design the pages of several newspapers. I’m the one that places the stories and photos by our journalists — along with items submitted by our readers — on the pages. I lay things out and make the newspaper look like it does. If I wasn’t organized,

I

we might be running the wrong story in the wrong newspaper, or the stories that are to continue to another page might not “jump,” and instead leave you dangling in suspense with an incomplete article. It would be so much more difficult to get the pieces to fit without a plan.

And believe me, there are some weeks I’m pounding those pieces in place to get them in there just right.

I like rules and I like people to follow them.

I’ve discovered I inherited a trait from one of my grandmothers — I vividly remember rolling my eyes and giggling when she did this with me in the car. We were on our way to Shenandoah, and she refused to pull over into the slower traffic keep right lane so the cars following us could pass. As she said, she was driving the speed limit, so she wasn’t “slower traffic.” I’m certain the vehicles trailing behind saw it differently. I had to bite my tongue.

I’m not THAT persnickety yet, but I’m getting close.

So anyway...

One of my biggest pet peeves is drivers with an affliction known as “Left Lane Entitlement syndrome” — those who cruise along oblivious to the rules of the road and drive in the left lane of a 4-lane highway. I should clarify, this doesn’t just annoy me, I have a physical reaction to it. I’m talking sweaty palms, increased heart rate, flushed face, a spike in blood pressure. Nowadays, if I see that vehicle driving in the left lane coming from a distance, I might just casually slip over into that left lane before the car gets to me. Take that, LLE driver!

And speaking of rules of the road, turn you headlights on gloomy, rainy or foggy days. It’s not so you can see, it’s so I can see you.

Also, don’t tailgate me. If you are right behind me and I am driving the speed limit, nothing you do is going to make me speed up. In fact, I might just drive a tad slower.

Oh yeah, I’ve become that person. It comes with age.

Time for tears I’m a crier.

When I was 3 and my arm was pulled out of its socket, I cried because the doctor was going to have to cut the sleeve off my favorite dress.

At 7, I cried tears of joy when the rocks I had planted spouted into rock-trees. (They were weeds.)

At 14, I cried from the heartbreak of having to sever ties with my first imaginary boyfriend. Rumors had spread around junior high that Matthew was, in fact, not real. A young imaginary relationship can’t survive that type of intense scrutiny.

I cry at every movie, at every greeting card, at every love song and at everything Bryan Adams has ever sung. “Summer of ‘69” gets me choked up every time.

I’m a crier.

And perhaps because I’m such a crier, I’ve become a non-crier at times that make the most sense to cry.

During those moments when even pre-Christmasghosts Ebenezer Scrooge would have fallen to his knees and wept, I become ... distracted.

Call it survival of the weepiest I have been reassured many times over the years that when my husband proposed, he performed a veritable monologue of love affirmations, complete with lines that rival Shakespeare and belong in museums. Not that I can confirm any of this. The moment that man’s knee hit the ground, my attention went to the sea lion barking nearby. What is it, boy?

Are ya hungry? Is there a shark nearby? Did Timmy fall down the well?

I’m fairly certain that the sea lion’s “arf arf arf ” translates to “Stop paying attention to me and listen to that boy’s proposal.” Just a hunch.

During my wedding vows, I looked about as stoic and dead inside as Cruella de Vil. Same goes for the birth of my children. As I held my newborn daughter to my chest, the doctor said, “You’re so quiet up there. You’re making me nervous. Are you OK? What are you thinking about?”

I was thinking about nachos.

My brain shuts off in big emotional moments. It disassociates, and I wind up crying about the event later — usually when I’m alone in my car, just before walking into an important meeting at which I am the key speaker. This is why I don’t wear mascara.

Recently, I’ve decided to become more present, and what better moment to try this new skill than on my son’s first day of elementary school? A perfect smorgasbord of maternal emotions. I was determined to cry. It was practically on my to-do list: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles backpack? Check.

“Star Wars” lunchbox? Check. Tears streaming down my face as I cope with my baby’s growing and my own inevitable mortality?

I had intended to cry at my son’s preschool graduation a few months back. I’d really wanted to. I had even prepped my tear ducts by thinking sad thoughts beforehand: the first time my son got his shots, Ryan Gosling in “The Notebook,” that time I had to break up with Matthew. I’d wanted the tears to roll down my face as a good mother’s would.

Alas, an evil 2-year-old had other plans. More yappy than that horrible sea lion at my proposal, a younger sister of a fellow preschool graduate had insisted on taking to the graduation line and disrupting the affair. I had tried to cry. I really had. I’d sung all the words to “Summer of ‘69” in my head, but not a drop fell from my eyes.

For the first day of pre-K, I would not let myself down. I would be in the moment. I would look embarrassingly weepy and hysterically undignified if it was the last thing I did!

As my husband drove to the school, I flipped through first-day-of-school photos moms had posted on Facebook, tears streaming down their faces.

But when it came time for that sacred sob-fest and hug goodbye, my son simply said, “See ya, Mom.” Then he skipped off to his seat. And it was over.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

No, Affirmative Action isn’t keeping white students down

By Jessicah Pierre

There’s a saying: “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”

I thought of that when I heard about the Trump administration’s recent moves against affirmative action.

According to The New York Times, the Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Jeff Session, is looking for lawyers to work on “investigations and possible litigation related to intentional racebased discrimination in college and university admissions.”

Well, that’s the point of affirmative action, right?

When President John F. Kennedy signed an executive order on affirmative action in 1961, the intent was to counteract discrimination that minorities faced in the job hiring process. Since then, many colleges and universities have instituted similar standards to make sure women and students of color are given a fair shot at receiving a higher education.

But the way Trump sees it, it’s white students who are discriminated against.

There have already been a number of cases where white students have challenged universities that implement affirmative action. But in 2016, the Supreme Court decided in Fisher v. University of Texas that affirmative action is in fact constitutional and doesn’t hurt white students.

End of discussion, right? Wrong.

After the 2016 presidential elections, a new poll was released by HuffPost/YouGov showing that more than half the nation thought that blacks and Muslims faced a lot of discrimination. Yet the same report revealed that most Trump supporters believed white people were the real victims of racial bias.

Now, Trump’s Justice Department is trying to rally that base by arguing that affirmative action hurts white students.

This argument assumes that students of color no longer face discriminatory barriers. But if you read the news, it’s obvious that this isn’t true. The horrifying white nationalist rally and domestic terrorist attack in Charlottesville, Virginia is more than enough to prove that minorities are still a target.

But beyond that, African Americans still face economic strains due to racial bias. A 2011 study, for example, found that the median white household wealth remains about 16 times greater than average black wealth.

Receiving a college degree is often touted as a pathway to economic security. But last year, a study by the National Center for Educational Statistics showed that racial divides remain. While college enrollment is increasing across the board, it found that enrollment rates for college-aged white students (42 percent) remain higher than for

both black and Hispanic students (34 percent.)

White students also graduate college at higher rates than black and Hispanic students, according to a recent report from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center.

While affirmative action has helped lower some barriers created by racial bias, black and Hispanic students still lag behind their white peers in enrollment. Overall, can anyone really say the practice is keeping whites down?

Racism permeates every aspect of our economy and society — whether it’s police brutality, the criminal justice system, housing discrimination, the racial wealth divide, or college admissions.

Stripping away affirmative action, one of the only race-based practices meant to counteract these issues, would send a direct message to racist whites that the administration has their back — at the expense of the livelihood America continues to take from people of color.

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 questions his dating style after being cheated on twice DEAR ABBY: I have been in two relationships. The first was with a girl a couple of years older than I am. We were together for several years before she cheated on me and dumped me. I was crushed. The next girl was a few years younger. She did the same thing after we were together a year.

What am I doing wrong? Fidelity is important to me, and they both knew it from the start. How can I avoid this in the future?

I have never been a controlling person. I was always fine with my girlfriends going out with their friends without me if I couldn’t go for some reason. (That’s how they ended up meeting the other guys.)

The people in lasting relationships I’ve seen watch each other like hawks, and never allow their significant other to be in the company of the opposite sex without them. Is this normal? Should I be like them? That seems controlling, but clearly, my “no boundaries” relationship style has backfired on me. — CHEATED ON IN NEW YORK CITY DEAR CHEATED ON: Few things can ruin a relationship or a marriage like obsessive jealousy can.

Watching one’s partner “like a hawk” is stifling. It will eventually drive the person away, as you will see as you continue to observe the couples you have mentioned. Please don’t try to change the person you are because YOU are just fine.

I believe that in relationships there has to be a certain amount of responsibility. If someone is mature enough to be involved romantically, that person should be willing to admit if things aren’t working out. Being cheated on is painful, and being dumped is equally so. Not every relationship leads to marriage, but rather than sneak around to avoid a frank conversation, it’s better to practice the Golden Rule.

DEAR ABBY: I am in a predica-

ment. My therapist is great, but sometimes I think she shares too much.

Last time I went, she was running late.

When I finally got into her office, she told me the previous patient was nonverbal and had painted her nails during the session. Later in the session, she confided that years ago she had been date raped.

Abby, I am in counseling because my father raped me when I was 15 (I am now 24). Her sharing has me worried because I don’t want her telling others what I say or do during counseling. Further, her story of the date rape scared me. She described a situation that is not uncommon for me to be in, and it caused something almost like a flashback in me. I think what she did was insensitive, to say the least.

I have nobody else to ask, so what should I do? I’m getting counseling for free now due to my income, and it took months to get set up with a counselor. Should I report her or accept that this was a mistake and say nothing? If I need to report her, how would I go about doing that? — CONFLICTED ABOUT IT DEAR CONFLICTED: You should change therapists because it appears this one has more problems than you do. As to what agency you should report her breach of professional ethics to, contact the state organization that has licensed her to practice.

allowed to switch schools

DES MOINES — A western Iowa teenager who faced harassment at school has been allowed to enroll in another district after his local school board denied his request for a transfer.

The Oakland student’s clothes were thrown into a gym toilet and the word “snitch” was painted on his car. The Iowa Board of Education said Wednesday that the teen faced escalating harassment. The board says the student, identified by initials K.M., faced physical and verbal threats from a group of ninth-grade students after he overheard a conversation about drinking and drugs in a gym locker room.

Former teen singing sensation Tiffany bringing hits to Iowa State Fair passion is.”

With the resurgence of cassettes and vinyl, crowds at the fair can’t seem to get enough music from retro acts. Tiffany is among several stars from that era to perform at the 2017 Iowa State Fair. Other artists included Kix, former Journey lead vocalist Steve Augeri, Bang Tango and Dokken. She attributes the rising popularity in reunion tours and live shows from artists like herself to the fact that music from the decade was just more fun.

“I think there was something about ‘80s music. It was fun. It was a little quirky and a little different from the fashions to some of the sounds. It was just fun,” Tiffany said. “I always thought there was something cool about it, and it makes you kind of chuckle a bit to think we are going back there.

(That music) just got you feeling good. And I think that is what I’ve tried to put into my live show is that live anthem

By Jessica Lowe Special to the Newton Daily News For anyone around in the 1980s it was hard to miss teased bangs, acid washed jeans and lots of great music. Those wanting to revisit the decade of excess, wild fashions and huge mall concerts can do so at the Iowa State Fair at a concert by “I Think We’re Alone Now” singer Tiffany.

The former teen idol is all grown up and will be performing songs from her 30-year career.

The concert begins at 8 p.m. Sunday on MidAmerican Energy Stage and is free with admission to the fair. “(The concert is) high energy with a retro kind of sound,” said Tiffany during a phone interview. “We do the hits of course — ‘I Think We’re Alone Now,’ ‘Could’ve Been,’ ‘I Saw Him Standing There’ — but with a little bit more of a rock edge so I say it is a retro fun, more ‘80s hair bands which is what my

feeling, easy breezy great night of fun music. My musicians are amazing, my band is great, and so we are there to rock out and have a good time.”

While most wellknown for her biggest hit — a cover of the 1967 Tommy James and The Shondelle’s Top 10 hit, Tiffany said she is not shying away from her past and embraces the one hit everyone comes to hear her sing.

“I’m very proud and very lucky that for being a 9-year-old girl who wanted to sing that it worked out. I’ve got to step back and say I’m very lucky with that. ’I Think We’re Alone Now’ I don’t get tired of singing the song,” she said.

“It is not, again, something I thought I’d be recording but it is part of me. I love it and it makes people happy and I’m very grateful for that.

Definitely that is my beginning. So my challenge now is to again connect with audience.”

For Tiffany, part of connecting and recon-

necting with her audience is performing new music including “Can’t Stop Falling” a single she co-wrote, co-produced and released in July. “‘Can’t Stop Falling’ the new single is kind of the first song that will take me into the next direction I want to go musically,” she said.

The singer credits her fans with embracing her music from yesterday

and today, and for being supportive of letting her try new things.

“My true fans are amazing. They have been with me for 30 years,” she said. “They really are just amazing fans. They have let me grow up, be a mom, take time off, make crazy sci-fi movies. They have been wonderful.”

Tiffany promises her fans will not be disap-

pointed with the show as the singer is excited to be performing at the Iowa State Fair once again.

“I’m really excited to come to Iowa and go to the fair,” she said. “I know it is a big fair and I remember doing it from before. I’m a fair girl so I love all of it. I’m gonna get a corn dog, and I’m gonna get a funnel cake.

I’m gonna get it all.”

JOHNSTON — The Iowa Department of Public Safety is confirming that recruits at its basic training academy were treated last month for heat-related illness.

Department spokesman Alex Dinkla said Thursday that two of 20 recruits needed medical treatment following academy activities. He said he believed they are trooper candidates and remain part of the academy, which started May 30 at Camp Dodge in Johnston and remains ongoing.

Dinkla said he still

hasn’t “been told” other basic information about the incident despite receiving an Aug. 1 inquiry about it from The Associated Press.

That includes whether they were hospitalized and whether the academy is changing any procedures in light of the cases. He says he doesn’t know the gender of those involved.

Dinkla says medical information is “confidential and protected from disclosure.” He says injuries are common in the academy.

Solheim Cup competition tees off Friday in Iowa WEST DES MOINES (AP) — If the last Solheim Cup was any indication, golf fans should be in for a treat this weekend in Iowa.

In 2015 in Germany, the Americans rallied from 8 1/2 points down to beat Europe 14 1/2 to 13 1/2 — the largest rally in the history of the biennial event that began in 1990.

The Americans hold a 9-5 advantage in the series, winning three straight from 199498 and from 2005-09. But Europe has had the upper hand of late, winning in 2011 and 2013 before its collapse two years ago.

After accomplishing just about everything there is to accomplish in golf, Annika Sorenstam finally got her shot as a Solheim Cup captain.

Leading Team Europe might prove to be a lot more difficult for Sorenstam than playing ever was.

Veteran star Suzann Pet-

tersen is out with a bad back.

Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist, the team’s top-ranked player, recently dealt with a bout of mononucleosis.

Four of Sorenstam’s 12 players are making their debuts in the biennial tournament between Europe and the U.S. — and the Europeans are 1-6 on American soil.

But Sorenstam, the Hall of Fame player who served as a vice captain in the three previous Solheim Cups, is confident the underdog Europeans can hang with the U.S. when play begins Friday at Des Moines Golf and Country Club.

Cristie Kerr and Lexi Thompson will be the opening pairing for the U.S., while Team Europe paired Nordqvist with Georgia Hall. American captain Juli Inkster also paired rookie Danielle Kang with veteran Lizette Salas, and Catriona Matthew, Pettersen’s replacement, will also open

foursome play Friday.

“It’s been a lot of juggling, to put it mildly,” said Sorenstam, who won 72 LPGA Tour titles, including 10 majors. “I had a plan, I called it plan A. And then we started a plan B ... and when Suzann and I spoke (Wednesday) morning, I kind of threw out plan A, and now we’re sticking to plan B.”

Still, the Americans will have the edge in experience and with a home crowd that is expected to eclipse 100,000.

Half of the U.S. field has played in at least four Solheim Cups, led by Kerr (nine), Paula Creamer (seven) and the resurgent Michelle Wie (five). But Creamer was an alternate for Inkster until Jessica Korda hurt her forearm and withdrew.

The Americans also have the top-ranked player in the event in Thompson, the 22-year-old Floridian who has three wins and 15 top-five finishes since 2015.

Thompson, ranked second in the world, fought through a respiratory infection that limited her practice time this week. But Thompson said Thursday that while she’s been taking it easy since landing in Des Moines, she’ll be fine by Friday.

“I’m not dying,” Thomp-

son joked. “I’ve been on every (medication) you can think of.”

Sorenstam said this week that she was “not so worried about” Nordqvist, whose seventh-place tie two weeks ago in the Women’s British Open confirmed her fitness.

But the Europeans might need a huge weekend from Nordqvist given how many questions marks there are on the rest of the team. Team Europe has just four players ranked in the top 30 in the world following Pettersen’s withdrawal.

Hall, Florentyna Parker, Emily K. Pedersen and Madelene Sagstrom are making their tournament debuts. And though they’ve all established themselves as professionals capable of competing for wins, Solheim Cup veterans believe that nothing can prepare a newcomer for pressure of playing in the most raucous environment in women’s golf.

Go Aquagirls Go! Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Members of the 2017 NCMP Aquagirls’ high school swim team held the team’s annual intrasquad scrimmage Thursday evening at Newton’s Maytag Pool. There are swimmers from Newton, Colfax-Mingo, Prairie City-Monroe and Pella on the team, which opens its season Tuesday.

Getting stoked for fall sports A

re you ready for some football, maybe volleyball, swimming or cross country?

Well, it is time to speak of all things fall in the sports world. The Newton Daily News’ Jasper County Fall Sports 2017 preview section will hit the newsstands on Thursday. The special section features teams from Newton, Lynnville-Sully, Prairie City-Monroe, Colfax-Mingo and Baxter.

You’ll also find the section in next week’s editions of the Jasper County Tribune, the Prairie City News and the Monroe Legacy.

I’ve been visiting with Newton High’s coaches for football, volleyball, cross country, boy’s golf and girls’ swimming along with Lynnville-Sully’s coaches for football, cross country and volleyball. Get ready for some great competitions by these teams and all our area squads in 2017.

Colfax-Mingo’s football team is the first to kick the new season off.

The Tigerhawks play at Saydel Friday. All five area football teams hit

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets the gridiron on Aug. 25.

On Tuesday, you can come to Newton High School to see two area volleyball teams in action. Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustangs joining host Newton High’s Cardinals in a fourteam round-robin event. Des Moines Hoover and Saydel are the other two teams.

Matches begin at 4:30 p.m. in the NHS upper gym with two courts set up for the event. Newton opens against Hoover and PCM takes on fellow Heart of Iowa Conference foe Saydel. Newton and PCM play in the third and final round.

The NCMP Aquagirls held their annual intrasquad scrimmage Thursday at Newton’s Maytag Pool. It’s always a fun activity to have outside. The Aquagirls have swimmers from Newton, Colfax-Mingo, PCM and Pella on the team.

NCMP (Newton/Colfax-Mingo/ Pella) opens its season Tuesday at home against always tough Linn-Mar. The dual swim meet starts at 5:30 p.m. at the home of the Aquagirls — the Newton YMCA pool.

Thursday is when the cross country

teams hit the ground running. Newton’s teams will compete in the Gilbert Invitational in Ames along with PCM’s squads. Colfax-Mingo and Baxter compete in a meet hosted by Collins-Maxwell.

Newton High’s boys are playing Class 4A golf this fall. The Cardinals will play only two invitational tournaments and in the 4A playoffs during the fall, leaving the bulk of their season for the spring again to compete in the Little Hawkeye Conference. The Cardinals open the fall season on Sept.

15 at Marshalltown.

I’ve been immersed in local high school fall sports information the past couple of weeks. Deadline is looming for us to finish the previews.

But… I’ve kept my eye on my Boys in Blue — the Kansas City Royals — along with the Kansas City Chiefs in preseason NFL play and training camp and anything concerning Kansas State football. Those are my teams. Unfortunately, not a lot gets out on women’s college sports other than locally, unless teams are ranked. I try to stay up on how the other sports at KSU are doing throughout the year.

The Royals are so up and down this season. They are a fun bunch of players to watch, but frustrating. Just when appears they will break through and take the top spot in the AL Central, the bottom falls out for a few games.

Kansas City was a half game back of Central Division-leading Cleveland at one time. The Royals are five games back of the Indians. Guess who is coming to Kansas City this weekend?

A big three-game series at The K starts Friday between the Royals and the Indians.

After Wednesday’s come-from-behind win at Oakland, Kansas City sat a half game out of the second American League Wild Card spot behind the LA Angels. The Royals were in second place in the Central with Minnesota in third and hosting a doubleheader Thursday against Cleveland.

Big, big series at home this weekend. I’m looking for the Royals to take care of business at home to start a strong run. They have 42 games, including this weekend’s, remaining in the regular season.

The Chiefs looked pretty good to open their first preseason game a week ago. They lost at the end, but the first units played well even with several starters sitting the game out. I’m always excited about Kansas City Chiefs football.

Then there’s my Wildcats with Bill Snyder back on the sideline. We’re all so glad his health allows him back to guide K-State this fall. I can’t wait as my Purple and White fire is stoked.

Darlington dedicating suite towers to the Earnhardts DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Darlington Raceway will debut Earnhardt Towers to honor the late Dale Sr. and his son, Dale Jr., at the Southern 500 next month.

The track Wednesday announced plans to rename its two towers after the Earnhardt racers.

Dale Earnhardt Sr. won nine times at the track “Too Tough To Tame,” the second most in history behind David Pearson’s 10 victories.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., winless at Darlington, is expected to run his final race there Sept. 3.

Earnhardt Jr. plans to retire after this season.

Fowler has three RBIs, Cardinals rally past Pirates PITTSBURGH (AP) — Dexter Fowler’s two -run triple sparked the St. Louis Cardinals to an 11-7 comeback win over the Pittsburgh Pirates Thursday night at PNC Park.

With the Cardinals trailing 5-4 with one out in the seventh inning, Fowler tripled down the right field line off reliever Joaquin Benoit to give St. Louis a 6-5 lead. Fowler went 2 for 3 with three RBIs, scored three runs and walked twice.

Yadier Molina followed with an RBI single to make it 7-5 and chase Benoit (1-6), who allowed three runs on three hits in a third of an inning. Benoit has surrendered nine runs in six games for the Pirates since being acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies on July 31.

St. Louis added four more runs in the ninth inning before Pittsburgh answered with two

in the bottom half.

Fowler went 2 for 3 with three RBIs, scored three runs and walked twice.

Right-hander Sam Tuivailala (31) pitched one scoreless inning for the win. He allowed three hits and had two strikeouts.

Pittsburgh left the bases loaded in the sixth inning and stranded runners on second and third in the seventh.

After trailing 5-1 at the end of the third inning, St. Louis

Kepler’s homer sparks Twins in doubleheader split with Indians MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Aaron Slegers calmly took the mound for Minnesota in his major league debut and helped the Twins beat Cleveland at home for the first time all season.

Then the emotion came, when he left the field to a standing ovation in the seventh.

Max Kepler made up for a fielding flub in the top of the seventh with the go-ahead home run in the bottom of the inning, sending the Twins to a 4-2 victory in the second game to salvage a doubleheader split with the Indians on Thursday.

“I was about as close as you can cry without crying when I was walking off the mound there, when the crowd started standing up and applauding,” Slegers said. “That was a pretty special moment.”

Slegers sailed through 6 1/3

innings to stop Cleveland’s sixgame winning streak. The Indians had won 10 straight games in Minnesota.

“I’m not sure he knows all that’s transpired between us and that particular team on this field here, but he did a nice job of trusting himself,” Twins manager Paul Molitor said, adding: “It was just I think a big boost for everybody. He won a lot of respect from a lot of people in that clubhouse tonight.”

Yan Gomes and Jason Kip-

Ervin, Votto lead Reds past Cubs despite Chicago’s six homers CHICAGO (AP) — Phillip Ervin may be a late-bloomer, but the Cincinnati outfielder has arrived in the majors with a bang.

Ervin hit a two-run homer to snap a tie in the seventh inning and had four RBIs in his first major league start as the Reds rebounded from blowing a nine-run lead to defeat the Chicago Cubs 13-10 on Thursday.

Ervin, in right field in his fifth game, also had a single and double in four at-bats.

On Wednesday, the 25-yearold homered as a pinch hitter for his first hit.

“I have struggled through the minors a bit so to come up here just showing everybody I can play, it just feels good,” said Ervin, who appeared in three games in April before his recall this week from Triple-A. “So I’m just trying to take it as it is and have fun right now.”

Joey Votto lofted a threerun homer in a nine-run, second-inning rally as Cincinnati raced to a 9-0 lead against Cubs starter Jon Lester on a warm day with the wind blowing out.

Ian Happ hit two solo shots and a sacrifice fly, and Alex Avila went deep and had three RBIs for the Cubs, who used six homers to erase a nine-run deficit for the first time since August 1989 versus Houston.

“A lot of times, that’s a hard game to hold on to because you’ve lost so much momentum,” Reds manager Bryan

rallied to avoid a fourth straight loss while Pittsburgh’s losing streak reached five games. The Cardinals remain third in the National League Central, 1 1/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs.

Josh Harrison gave Pittsburgh a 2-0 lead with a two-run home run in the first inning.

Three straight RBI singles in the third pushed the Pirates’ lead to 5-1.

The Cardinals came back with a run in the top of the second to make it 2-1 before scoring one more in the fourth and two in the fifth to cut the deficit to 5-4. Fowler singled to left field in the fifth for their fourth run.

Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright lasted just three innings for the second time in his past three starts allowing five runs on seven hits.

Price said. “We were able to hold the line a little bit and settle things down, and then Ervin hits the big homer to make it 11-9.”

Drew Storen (4-2) pitched a scoreless sixth for the win, then Raisel Iglesias pitched the ninth for his 22nd save in 23 chances. Justin Grimm (1-2), who gave up Erwin’s homer and was the second of five Cubs relievers took the loss.

Happ, Avila, Kris Bryant and Javier Baez homered in the fourth as the Cubs went deep four times in an inning for the first time since June 2008 to cut it to 9-6.

Kyle Schwarber homered to lead off the fifth, then Anthony Rizzo and Avila drove in runs with doubles against Michael Lorenzen to tie it at 9-all.

The Reds sent 13 men to the plate in the second. Eugenio Suarez and Ervin each had a single and a double in the eight-hit outburst.

Lester was pulled with left lat tightness with two outs in the inning and saw a doctor after the game. Manager Joe Maddon didn’t have a report

on the lefty, but knew his velocity was down and that he lacked finishing pop on pitches.

“They had a lot of soft hits over the infielders heads,” Maddon said. “The cutter was down to 84-85 (mph). That’s not quite right.”

Lester was charged with nine runs, seven earned, and was replaced by Mike Montgomery after facing 11 batters in the inning and Cincinnati leading 8-0.

It was Cincinnati’s biggest rally since scoring 10 runs in August 2015 versus Detroit.

Montgomery allowed no runs in 4 1/3 innings to set the stage for the Cubs’ comeback.

“We had a chance to regroup and at that point we just started hitting,” Montgomery said. “Our offense was unbelievable today. It was really just that one inning.”

Bryant led off the fourth with a drive to left that bounced off the bleachers and onto Waveland Avenue.

Avila’s two-run homer was followed by consecutive solo shots from Happ and Baez off Reds starter Scott Feldman, who allowed six runs in 3 2/3 innings.

Cincinnati permitted four homers in an inning for the first time since September 2007 versus Milwaukee.

After Chicago tied it 9-all in the fifth, Ervin put the Reds back in front 11-9 in the seventh. Happ’s sac fly in the bottom half made it 11-10.

The Reds added insurance runs in the eighth and ninth.

nis each homered and had three hits for the Indians in a 9-3 victory in the opener as the Twins set a franchise record with 19 strikeouts.

Slegers tried his best to keep the nerves at bay.

Recalled from Triple-A Rochester as the 26th player for the nightcap, Slegers allowed only two hits and two runs with two walks and two strikeouts.

The 6-foot-10 right-hander lost the lead when he left a runner on with one out in the seventh and Carlos Santana greeted Trevor Hildenberger (2-1) with an RBI triple while Kepler slipped in the right-field corner trying to grab it.

But Kepler responded with his 15th homer The Twins stayed six games behind the Indians in the AL Central and one game out of the second wild card spot.

Union appeals Cowboys RB Elliott’s six-game suspension NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL Players Association has appealed Dallas Cowboys running b a c k Ezekiel E l l i ott’s six-game suspens i o n over the l e a g u e’s Elliott conclusion that its 2016 rushing leader injured his former girlfriend in three separate incidents last summer.

The union said Tuesday it will represent Elliott “to ensure that the NFL is held to its obligation of adhering to principles of industrial due process under the collective bargaining agreement.”

The NFL suspended Elliott last week after a yearlong investigation into an Ohio domestic violence case that prosecutors declined to pursue.

Elliott’s attorneys blasted Commission Roger Goodell’s ruling, saying the league “cherry-picked” evidence to reach its conclusion.

A hearing with Goodell or an arbitrator will be scheduled within 10 days with a decision “as soon as practicable” after the appeal is heard, according to the labor agreement.

The Cowboys open the regular season Sept.

10 at home against the New York Giants. They follow that game up with a pair of road games.

August 8, 2017 Tuesday, August 8, 2017 the Jasper County Board of Supervisors met in regular session at 9:30 a.m. with Supervisors Brock, Carpenter and Cupples present and accounted for; Chairman Brock presiding. Treasurer Doug Bishop asked the Supervisors to approve the Treasurer's SemiAnnual Report and Tax Suspension list. Motion by Carpenter, seconded by Cupples to approve the Treasurer's Semi Annual Report for the period beginning January 1, 2017 and ending June 30, 2017.

YEA: CUPPLES, CARPENTER, BROCK Motion by Cupples, seconded by Carpenter to approve the 2017/2018 Tax Suspension List.

YEA: CARPENTER, CUPPLES, BROCK Joe Otto told the Supervisors that the National Guard had ruled out using a helicopter to move the red bridge and requested that the County pay for a site visit by Calhoun & Burns to estimate the cost of moving the red bridge.

The County Engineer said that a cost of the site visit could range between $2,000 and $10,000.

The Board asked that they be given a quote for services provided by Calhoun & Burns to do a site visit to evaluate the move before they approved of the expenditure. Sheriff John Halferty presented to the Board a participation agreement to provide credit card payment services and a resolution setting Jail Service Fees. Motion by Carpenter, seconded by Cupples to approve an agreement between Jasper County and Government Payment Services, Inc. for processing credit, debit and pre-paid debit card transaction for the Sheriff's Office.

YEA: CUPPLES, CARPENTER, BROCK Motion by Carpenter, seconded

by Cupples to adopt Resolution 17-55 setting the fee for fingerprinting services at $20 per individual and a UA testing fee at $10 per test.

YEA: CUPPLES, CARPENTER, BROCK A complete copy of the resolution is on file in the Office of the Jasper County Auditor. Human Resources Director, Dennis Simon asked the Board to approve the hiring of a Sheriff's Deputy for the Sheriff's Office.

Motion by Cupples, seconded by Carpenter to adopt Resolution 17-56 certifying the following appointment to the Auditor for payroll implementation: DEPARTMENT Sheriff's Office POSITION Deputy EMPLOYEE Brandon Bruxvoort PAY RATE $25.03 RANGE/STEP Hire-In Non-Progressive Union Scale EFFECTIVE DATE 08/21/2017 YEA: CARPENTER, BROCK, CUPPLES A complete copy of the resolution is on file in the Office of the Jasper County Auditor.

Community Development Director Nick Fratzke brought the Board up to speed on FEMA's preliminary flood insurance rate map and the appeals process.

Property Owner, John Eatwell expressed to the Supervisors his thoughts about the inadequacies of a low water level crossing and the need to get the bridge replaced on North 91st Avenue West. The County Engineer explained that bridge project was in the works and contract letting for the bridge would be next spring but the Secondary Roads Department would be building the low water level crossing immediately. Margot Voshell, representing the Jasper County Board of Health, spoke to the Supervisors about her perceived poor conditions of the County Annex basement, where the Health Department is located and asked that they be moved to a different location. Voshell said that the Board of Health is also wanting more space. The Board of Supervisors is contemplating whether to fix the annex or find another building. Supervisor Cupples stated that he thought that the Board should hire ShiveHattery Architecture Engineering Consulting Firm to do a space analysis to determine the true needs of the different agencies housed in the Annex Building before any decision is made on fixing and remodeling the building or moving to a different building.

Supervisor Brock said that this issue would be put on next week?s agenda. Motion by Carpenter, seconded by Cupples to approve the cancelation of the following unclaimed warrants that are over one year old: Warrant No. 528838 dated 3/22/2016 in the amount of $38.88.

YEA: CUPPLES, BROCK, CARPENTER Motion by Carpenter, seconded

by Brock to table agenda item#10 - Set a Public Hearing to Repeal and Amend County Ordinance 62 and to bring it back to the Board with revised language on next week's agenda.

YEA: BROCK, CARPENTER, CUPPLES Motion by Carpenter, seconded

by Cupples to approve Board of Supervisors minutes for 8/1/2017.

YEA: CUPPLES, CARPENTER, BROCK There were no Board appointments Motion by Carpenter, seconded by Cupples to adjourn the Tuesday, August 8, 2017 meeting of the Jasper County Board of Supervisors.

and you’ll buy something big in June. Libra and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 3, 24, 39 and 45.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’re not interested in being a decent communicator or an adequate leader. You want to be great. That’s why you’ll work out the solutions before you point out the problem.

What use is complaining if you can’t make it better?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The research suggests that for many people, talking about themselves can be more rewarding than food or money.

Giving someone the opportunity to do this is thereby a very valuable gift.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

When you feel a little blue, you’re apt to behave in ways to reinforce the mood. It’s why having a reason to fake happiness -- such as to interact with children, strangers or your boss -- can be a passageway to real happiness.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’re trying to keep it classy.

You behave as though your every moment were going to be broadcast to the people you most want to impress. It will help to remember who those people are and keep them in mind through your day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You’ve a ritualistic approach to things about your life that don’t really require such care.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Whatever you get into today (work, relationships, projects) leave yourself an out. That’s only smart. As things develop, so will your feelings, and right now you don’t know how you’ll feel about it next week.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Entitlement is a contagious disease. One person decides “I deserve this!” and the next gets the bug: “Well if he deserves it then maybe I deserve that and more.” Choose your company carefully. Prize humility and modesty.
