Otto to take helm at Jasper County Historical Museum

for them and a great lifestyle amid building experiences with livestock, various projects and photography,” Maher said.

Maher is currently a 39 year member of the fairboard where he has sat as president and vice president. He also is a sheep superintendent.

“I like meeting people and working with the kids,” Maher said. “They come up and talk to me and remember me each year.”

Maher said he was surprised when he found out at the Jasper County Fair that he would an inductee.

“I would really like to thank those who nominated me,” Maher said.

Colfax native Joe Otto has been named the new executive director of the Jasper County Historical Museum. The museum made the announcement through a fun, movie-trailer style video on the museum’s Facebook page on Saturday.

Otto is best known around the county for his current efforts to relocate Red Bridge from its original location on the South Skunk River near Reasnor to Quarry Springs Park in Colfax. From visitOtto ing with local organizations and working with the Jasper County Supervisors to recreate the bridge on a float for the Jasper County Fair parade, Otto has been out in the public championing his efforts.

He received his bachelor’s degree from Iowa State University and master’s degree in history from Appalachian State University.

Currently, he is working on his Doctor of Philosophy in history from the University of Oklahoma.

“My dissertation expands the scope of my thesis to cover the history of land reclamation, agriculture, and natural resource management in the state of Iowa in the late 19th and early 20th centuries,” Otto said. “It includes data gathered from state, local and federal archives, as well as cartographic and GIS sources.”

Otto will be taking over for retiring director Ken Barthelman. Newton graduate Barthelman served at the museum since 2014 and cited heath related reasons for stepping down The museum displays exhibits relating to the industrial, agricultural and commercial and societal efforts of those living in Newton and in the county in the 1900’s, including a large display of Maytag washer and dryers.

Local fair leader inducted into 4-H Hall of Fame

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News

A local man was honored at the Iowa State Fair Sunday for the work he has done in the Jasper County 4-H program for more than 45 years.

In front of family and friends, Robert Maher, 76, was inducted into Iowa’s 4-H Hall of Fame following a 4-H career that began in 1972.

The experience was one that Maher said was both surprising and honoring as he awaited to take the stage Sunday afternoon. Maher was among more than 50 other inductees across the state of Iowa who were honored at the 4-H Hall of Fame ceremony.

Over the years, Maher has played many roles, including, a parent, grandparent, leader, superintendent

and a fair board member.

Maher and his father-in-law Loren Wing began the Poweshiek Pals 4-H club in the 50s. The club grew to be one of the largest clubs in Jasper County.

Maher encouraged each of his 4-H members to be the best that they could be. The club went on yearly field trips and Maher’s goal was to educate each member but also have fun, too.

“They had skating, sledding, club tours and amusement parks, but the best part was the Jasper County Fair,” Maher said.

Maher said although he is no longer a club leader, he has gotten to see his four children and four grandchildren grow up involved in the Jasper County 4-H program.

“I think 4-H is very educational

Backpacks, Blessed Newton students get an extra boost to start the school year

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News It’s part of Rev. Karen Crawford’s job to remind folks that God is always with them. On Sunday, Crawford, the Rector at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, handed out reminders to the children in the audience. School age children and teachers were invited to take part in the special “blessing of the backpacks” on Sunday as they get ready to head back into the classrooms next week.

The annual event, which Crawford said has been a feature of her ministry for years is something that members of the church look forward to every year.

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Monday, Aug. 21, the 233rd day of 2017. There are 132 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 21, 1858, the first of seven debates between Illinois senatorial contenders Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas took place.

On this date: In 1831, Nat Turner launched a violent slave rebellion in Virginia resulting in the deaths of at least 55 whites. (Turner was later executed.)

In 1945, President Harry S. Truman ended the Lend-Lease program that had shipped some $50 billion in aid supplies to America’s allies during World War II. In 1959, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed an executive order making Hawaii the 50th state.

In 1987, Sgt. Clayton Lonetree, the first Marine court-martialed for spying, was convicted in Quantico, Va., of passing secrets to the KGB. In 1991, the hard-line coup against Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev collapsed in the face of a popular uprising led

by Russian Federation President Boris N. Yeltsin.

In 2015, a trio of Americans, U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Spencer Stone, National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos and college student Anthony Sadler, and a British businessman, Chris Norman, tackled and disarmed a Moroccan gunman on a highspeed train between Amsterdam and Paris.

Ten years ago: Hurricane Dean swept across Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula as a Category 5 storm. The postwar Iraqi tribunal trying former Saddam Hussein aides opened its third proceeding, putting former Defense Minister Ali Hassan al-Majid, known as “Chemical Ali,� and 14 other men on trial for the regime’s brutal crushing of a 1991 rebellion by Shiite Muslims.

Five years ago: An insurgent rocket attack damaged the plane of the top U.S. general as it sat parked at a coalition base in Afghanistan; U.S. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was unhurt. Missouri Rep. One year ago: Shaking to samba and sharing reflections in uniquely Brazilian words, Olympians and fans said goodbye to the Rio Games with one last big bash inside Maracana Stadium. Earlier in the day, Kevin Durant scored 30 points and helped the Americans rout Serbia 96-66 for their third straight gold medal, capping an Olympics in which the U.S. dominated the medal tables, both the gold (46) and overall totals (121).

KATU-TV reported Friday that the owners of the 18-month-old dog named Kenyon thought he had dug up a time capsule in their backyard, so they decided to film themselves opening it.

As they did, they realized Kenyon had found drugs.

Entertainment Jerry Lewis, comedy icon and telethon host dies, at 91 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jerry Lewis, the manic, rubber-faced showman who jumped and hollered to fame in a lucrative partnership with Dean Martin, settled down to become a self-conscious screen auteur and found an even greater following as the tireless, teary host of the annual muscular dystrophy telethons, has died. He was 91.

Lewis died Sunday of natural causes in Las Vegas with his family by his side, publicist Candi Cazau said.

Local & State News Blessing Continued from Page 1A children to the forefront of the church and make sure they’re involved.

“Sometimes they get lost in the shuffle of the big people,” Crawford said.

During the blessing, each child received a cross attached to a card, and Crawford reminded them God would be with them as they faced the challenges of a new school year. Crawford said it’s important to remind children how important they are as they face tough issues at school. She cited bullying and teasing as two of the biggest problems.

“They are all equal in His sight,” Crawford

said. “Hopefully they can remember that.”

Meredith Tracy, a member of the congregation at St. Stephen’s, said blessing the backpacks has become an annual tradition that ties in with the work the church does in the community. Every year, church members gather up school supplies that they stock with the Salvation Army to make sure each backpack isn’t just blessed, but it’s full when students head back to school.

Tracy’s sister, who lives in Burleson, Texas, has been helping collect the school supplies, and Tracy said they’ve been so inundated with supplies this year that they’re running out of places to store every-

“We’re not blessing the backpacks as much as we’re blessing them,” Tracy said.

Church member Kate Koeppen, of Newton, said the blessing is intended to give children a tangible reminder of how important they are to the church, and to let them know that church members are praying for

Skiff therapist offering treatment for chronic swelling More than 200,000 people each year are diagnosed with lymphedema, a common, chronic and sometimes debilitating condition. Through a specially trained therapist at Skiff Medical Center, local individuals suffering with lymphedema now have easy access to help.

Lymphedema happens when excess fluid, known as lymph, gathers in body tissues — most typically the arms and/or legs — and causes swelling (edema). This condition is not one that can be cured, but can be managed in a way that assists people regain comfort and quality of life.

“The ‘gold standard’ of treatment is complete decongestive therapy, or CDT,” said Nikki Stines, a doctor of physical therapy and certified lymphedema therapist at Skiff. “It’s a multi-step process involving skin care, wrapping, massage, remedial exercises and ongoing management.”

Most cases of lymphedema are considered secondary; that is, they arise as a result of damage to the lymphatic system. In a healthy person, the lymphatic system is designed to carry protein-rich fluids to the lymph nodes, which filter out harmful substances before the fluid is eventually deposited into the bloodstream.

When the vessels of the lymphatic system are damaged or blocked and cannot carry the lymph away from the tissues, localized swelling takes place.

“The majority of patients with lymphedema have devel-

ing Nikki was wonderful. She is very bubbly and very compassionate. She spent a lot of time with me, going over my medical history and explaining what I could expect with treatment.”

Stines uses a light-pressure massage known as manual lymph drainage, followed by special wrapping, using specific materials and technique. “The combination of short-term wrapping and manual lymph drainage techniques have been shown to have the greatest reduction in swelling,” Stines said. “After patients wear the wraps for a short period of time to reduce the edema, they are then fit for a garment to wear once their swelling has plateaued.”

Patro said she saw great results from the wraps, which she would wear continuously. “It’s been wonderful. People have commented that, even with the wraps on, they can tell how much thinner my legs are. Now I’m able to be up and active. Before, my quality of life was horrible.

All I could do was sit with my feet up. Otherwise, I swelled like a balloon. I would have to lie down or sit in my recliner. All I could do was veg out in front of the TV. It wasn’t a pretty sight.”

“People with untreated lymphedema can experience heaviness, achiness and discomfort,” Stines said. “They also deal with having compromised skin, because swollen tissues have a harder time healing. Part of treatment is educating patients on ways to

oped it as a result of certain surgeries, or traumas, like a crush injury, or from cancer treatments,” Stines said. “For example, about 40 to 50 percent of breast cancer patients end up dealing with some degree of lymphedema.”

For patient Marci Patro, there isn’t certainty as to what caused her lymphedema, but she suspects it was triggered by hernia surgery.

“For several years, I had issues with swelling,” she said.

“Especially in the summer, my feet and legs would just be huge. Conventional treatments like compression socks didn’t work. I would swell

anyway, and I’d have to cut the socks to get them off.”

When Patro’s family practice physician, Dr. Zack Alexander, learned Skiff was offering the specialized treatment for lymphedema, he referred Patro for CDT. “This is a service we didn’t previously have in our area,” Alexander said. “Lymphedema is more common than many realize. I probably have at least one patient each week dealing with the condition.

Nikki is a great communicator with both patients and doctors, and she is dedicated to helping people feel better.”

Patro agreed, saying, “See-

protect the affected limb, including avoiding blood pressure cuffs and injections on that side, and preventing insect bites and sunburn.”

This preventive care has been shown to have significant benefits for patients, said Stines. “CDT has been found to reduce the risk and episodes of cellulitis, a common and potentially serious bacterial skin infection. As a result, it decreases the incidence of hospital stays for those with lymphedema and edema.”

Now that Patro’s condition is under control, she only needs an annual check-up with Stines. She said she is so grateful to have had access to this service. “I can’t say enough about Nikki. She and this program are so great.”

Stines, who has been at Skiff since 2015, received her doctor of physical therapy degree at Des Moines University, and pursued additional training to become certified in lymphedema treatment.

“Across the country there is a shortage of certified therapists,” she said. “There are a lot of patients who suffer with this and don’t have access to the care they need. There were no clinics or therapists in Newton offering it locally.

Now that I have this training, patients throughout Jasper County have increased access for the care they need.”

Jovie is a morning person

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Aug. 21, 2017

Trending Mike Mendenhall

Editor’s note: This column originally published Dec. 8, 2016 ne month ago, if someone would have asked me to define the term “zoomies,” I would have said it must be chain of restaurants exclusive to NASCAR-owned motor speedways or the new name of the re-branded Dodge/Chrysler company.

But it turns out, this is a term used by dog owners to describe the crazy sprints around the living room by an overstimulated puppy who just came inside from a 20-minute walk.

Yes, in November, Betsy and I became the proud puppy parents of a Lab/ Vizsla-mix named Jovie. As my family and friends can attest, we love that little

O

ball of crazy (not so little after a month of growth).

We met Jovie through friends who have a large family of youngsters and just didn’t have the time to care for such an active 7-month-old dog. They did the right thing and found Jovie a home they new would be full of love and attention.

After a month of teaching her the basics — stay, lay down, come and sit (which she was already learning before we got her) — and making her follow the strict and vengeful rules of not tearing around the apartment like a no-holds-barred NFL game, we think Jovie is finally starting to love us too. Or, perhaps, just tolerate us as her food- and shelter-giving parents.

But Jovie is sweet. Every morning when we let her out into the open apart-

ment, she hops in bed and cuddles. She lays on her side and stretches, waiting for her morning belly rubs. This is when you can see her true smile.

At 45 pounds, we have to continually to remind ourselves that, despite her size, she is still a puppy. When she gets overly excited, she nips. They’re not bites, but she often confuses our forearms as chew toys. When her plush penguin or squeaky bone falls out of her mouth, she continues to lightly chew on what ever is next to her — usually my leg.

When we take her for walks, Jovie will march proudly in front of us with her tail wagging as if to say, “this is my family, and I’ll protect them.” But if another dog comes around the corner, she sees a rabbit hopping along or a bird perched overhead, nothing else around her matters. She’s not aggressive, but Jovie will start a little whine followed by a 360 degree jump/spin move until the other animal is out of sight and out of mind.

There have been some things about pet ownership I expected and others which have taken me by surprise. I used to roll my eyes at other animal lovers who called their pet every name other than the official title on their tags. Some don’t even sound remotely similar to the actual name. But Jovie is now known by several aliases: Peaches, Red Hot, Jovie-Joves and, Betsy’s personal favorite, Jovie-Beans.

Having a pet has helped us in more ways than we thought possible. Jovie gets us out of the house to exercise, we’re more aware of our surrounding neighborhood (there is a serious littering problem in Des Moines) and we’re quickly developing a consistent routine.

Jovie is becoming one of the most important parts of our lives, and I applaud any responsible pet owner who has taken the time to adopt or rescue a pet in their local area. It’s a tough but rewarding experience.

Eye on America John Stossel

Google women Why aren’t there more women criminals?! Men in jail outnumber women by a ratio of 14-to-1. We male stutterers outnumber women, too.

This isn’t fair! We need more affirmative action!

These disparities must be caused by sex discrimination because everyone knows there are no real differences between genders.

After all, Google fired engineer James Damore for daring to suggest that there is a biological reason men dominate tech leadership.

Google’s CEO said: “To suggest a group of our colleagues have traits that make them less biologically suited to that work is offensive.”

Then the media lied about what Damore wrote.

The Washington Post: “women may be genetically unsuited” for tech jobs.

CNN: “women are not biologically fit.”

But Damore never said that.

New York Magazine, Vanity Fair, Huffington Post and even Forbes called his memo “anti-diversity.” The Atlantic worsened it to an “anti-diversity screed.”

But it wasn’t “anti-diversity.” “I value diversity,” Damore wrote, saying he is “not denying that sexism exists.”

It certainly wasn’t a “screed.” It was a thoughtful argument suggesting that “not all differences are socially constructed ... (M)en and women biologically differ.”

Can’t have that.

The enlightened media quickly explained, “Differences between men and women are slim to none” (CNBC) and “major books have debunked the idea of important brain differences” (Recode).

Wow. “Major books”!

This is absurd. Of course, there are big differences!

I didn’t always understand that. My Princeton professors taught me that differences are caused by sexism. Boys are encouraged to achieve, girls to nurture. If we socialize equally, they said, just as many girls will want to go to monster truck rallies and become CEOs. Boys will nurture and more will take up ballet.

Some of it happened. Men did become more nurturing. More women became CEOs. But no amount of government force and corporate “diversity, integrity, governance” programs will equalize the numbers.

Plenty of science shows that men and women are just programmed differently. Google banning talk about that is appalling. (Though owners can do as they like with their companies.)

When I was at ABC News, I did a TV special titled “Boys and Girls Are Different.”

On the show, the Kinsey Institute’s former director explained that right after birth, males and females behave differently: “Males startle more ... (G) ive a little puff of air on their abdomen, they (are) much more likely to startle.” And females move their lips more than males.

Infant girls usually sit up without support before boys; boys crawl away from their caretakers sooner.

This happens before parents, or society, have much influence.

Even male baby monkeys like playing with trucks more than female monkeys do.

When I reported that, I got a taste of the Damore treatment.

A “20/20” correspondent confronted my TV producer in the ladies room, asking, “How could you have worked on that disgusting show?”

Feminist icon Gloria Steinem said gender differences shouldn’t even be researched. She told me it’s “anti-American, crazy thinking.”

“Aren’t women, in general, better nurturers?” I asked.

“No,” answered Steinem. “Next question.”

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Q&A: Biofuels are good for Iowa Q: How has your support for renewable fuels helped Iowa?

A: Iowans breathe cleaner air and can chalk up a stronger, healthier economy thanks to renewable fuels. My long-held support for public policies that foster growth, investment and sustainability in this emerging industry has yielded far-reaching results for state and local economies, the environment and energy security.

Federal tax, energy and infrastructure policies that I have helped secure into federal law, such as the Renewable Fuel Standard enacted in 2005 and expanded in 2007, create a more level playing field with traditional fossil fuels, expand markets for homegrown commodities, trigger private sector investment and give consumers a choice to save money and the environment at the pump.

For generations, Iowa farm commodities have anchored the tax base, wages, commerce and livelihoods for families across the state. Iowa leads the nation in corn and soybean production.

We also lead the way for renewable fuels, including next generation cellulosic ethanol production. Blessed with abundant natural resources, Iowa farmers are borrowing a page from the pioneers who plowed the prairie generations before them. Embracing innovation and technology, Iowa’s stewards of the soil and captains of industry are writing a new chapter for the 21st century.

They are finding a way to lay claim to the American Dream by feeding and fueling the world.

The market for renewable fuels is boosting their bottom lines, creating good-paying jobs and paying it forward for future generations to come by creating clean energy solutions that grow America’s energy independence.

The Scoop U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley And it’s happening in America’s heartland. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds recently testified at a public hearing in Washington, D.C., about the impact the RFS has made for Iowans.

Her testimony reflected why a strong RFS is so important to Iowa’s economy and family paychecks: More than 43,000 jobs are supported by the renewable fuels industry in Iowa, generating $2.3 billion of income. Iowa motorists saved more than $315 million in 2015 using ethanol-blended fuels, according to figures from the Iowa Department of Revenue.

Bureaucratic foot-dragging and misguided arm-twisting by Big Oil and Big Grocers during the previous administration under-

mined the market for renewable fuels. And yet, Iowa continues to pave the way toward next generation, advanced biofuels.

The largest producer of cellulosic ethanol using corn kernel fiber operates in Galva, and two large-scale commercial cellulosic facilities that produce fuel from corn stalks and corn cobs are located in Emmetsburg and Nevada. My advocacy for renewable fuels is as strong as ever. As the EPA considers the Renewable Volume Obligation for 2018, I will work to ensure the executive branch abides by congressional intent. The EPA should be promoting growth and investments in the biofuels sector.Congress set the bar for renewable fuel innovation and development for good reason. We support the production and use of renewable fuels because it’s good for the environment, it’s good for U.S. energy security and it’s good for economic growth.

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.

FAMILY CIRCUS

Family would rather punish than praise recovering addict DEAR ABBY: I am a recovering drug addict. I have slipped, as many do, but I have been clean for four years now. The problem is my family. If I look tired, trip over my own two feet (I’m clumsy) or just don’t want to be around people, I get questioned, yelled at, accused, etc.

Abby, they do random drug screens at my job. I have passed every one, and I have made amends for my past wrongdoings. But the last time I was accused, after trying to express my feelings calmly, I exploded and vented my frustration. Now my family won’t have anything to do with me.

Truth be told, since the breakup, I have experienced a boost in self-esteem, but I miss them. I have apologized, but they still won’t talk to me.

How many times must I swallow their accusations? They say I’m in the wrong. Is it wrong that I’ve had enough? Should I keep apologizing or leave it be? Shouldn’t they be proud that I’ve stayed clean? Please help. — FED UP IN TEXAS DEAR FED UP: They should be, but apparently they aren’t and haven’t trusted your sobriety, which is why they couldn’t let your period of addiction go.

Because you have apologized and your apologies haven’t been accepted, it is time to look forward, form new relationships and move on. I think that would be a healthier path to take than continuing to beg forgiveness from relatives who are unwilling to give it and would rather punish you. Don’t you?

DEAR ABBY: I have a sister who laughs after everything she says (it doesn’t matter the topic). She stayed at my house for four nights and it drove me insane. I figured I could put up with it for four days, which I did, but it wasn’t easy. I didn’t say anything at the time for fear of hurting her feelings and/or possibly ruining her short vacation.

In addition, our main form of communication is texting (which she does often), and I swear she can put five or six LOLs in every text. I know she thinks she’s funny, but she doesn’t have to tell me with every sentence. This may seem like a petty thing to gripe about, but it is very irritating. (By the way, she’s NOT funny.) Thoughts, Abby? — SOURPUSS IN NEW JERSEY DEAR SOURPUSS: Your sister’s laughter may be more a nervous habit than an attempt at humor, so I’m glad you held your tongue. However, if all those LOLs in her texts are a distraction, you’re perfectly within your rights to tell her so, and it shouldn’t cause hurt feelings.

DEAR ABBY: I don’t understand the new trend of asking wedding attendees to pay for the honeymoon. I’m especially put off by a couple entering second marriages for both of them.

“Dick” and “Jane” are both established in well-paying careers. They are not only asking people to pay for their airfare, but also to donate cash for shopping sprees. This seems presumptuous to me. What do you think? — INSULTED NON-ATTENDEE DEAR I.N.A.: I agree! What you received wasn’t a wedding invitation; it was a solicitation and should be regarded as such.

Iowa employer unemployment insurance taxes to decrease in 2018 DES MOINES — Beginning Jan. 1, Iowa employers will see unemployment insurance taxes decrease an average of 25 percent on 2018 wages.

The decrease is a result of the strength of the unemployment insurance trust fund, unemployment contributory wages and target levels of the unemployment insurance contributory wages. Yearly rates are determined by a formula.

“This shift is a clear signal that the integrity of our unemployment insurance trust fund is solvent and strong,” Iowa Workforce Development Director Beth Townsend said. “A decrease in taxes to employers is a positive factor that can contribute to economic growth in the state.”

Gov. Kim Reynolds also praised the stability in the unemployment insurance trust fund.

“With our unemployment insurance trust fund consistently in the top 20, Iowa is well positioned to support our workforce and enable our employers to continue to grow their businesses,” she said. “Maintaining a low tax rate for employers will help attract new employers to the state.”

In 2018, Iowa’s employers will be in Table 7 of 8 possible tables (with 8 being the most favorable). Iowa law requires IWD to establish the tax table that will be used to determine the unemployment tax rate for eligible employers each year.

Man arrested on charges he killed Iowa puppy during dispute DES MOINES (AP) — A man who had been sought since last month for allegedly killing a puppy by snapping its neck during a dispute about Wi-Fi in Des Moines has been arrested on animal-abuse charges.

Twenty-five-year-old Christopher Vogel was taken into custody Saturday.

Police say Vogel went to a friend’s apartment and asked the neighbors if he could use their Wi-Fi password, then killed the neighbors’ 12-week-old corgi when they refused his request.

As executive director of the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, Tom Colvin said the misdemeanor court that’s the only recourse in such case underscores the need for lawmakers to make felony charges available to prosecutors in animal-abuse cases.

It was not immediately clear Sunday if Vogel has an attorney who can speak on his behalf.

State board OKs $13.5 million for Sioux City development DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa’s economic development board has approved $13.5 million in state financial assistance toward a series of proposed Sioux City projects totaling $134 million.

The Iowa Economic Development Authority Board voted unanimously Friday to approve Sioux City’s Reinvestment District program application.

The money is to be repaid

through hotel-motel and sales taxes generated by the new and upgraded properties over a 20year period.

The application features four big-ticket projects, including a five-story, 150-room Courtyard

by Marriott hotel that will adjoin the Sioux City Convention Center downtown, renovations to the convention center and a new parking structure there.

Other projects include an ag expo center in the city’s former stockyards, redevelopment of the former Warrior Hotel and Davidson Building into hotel, residential and commercial retail space and redevelopment of four former industrial buildings into residential and commercial use

by Ho-Chunk Inc. “It’s been over two years working on all these projects, and

we’ve had some great additions in the last few months,” said Renae Billings, with the Sioux City Economic Development Department.

Iowa’s Reinvestment District program permits cities to establish zones of up to 25 acres where future hotel-motel and sales tax money can be diverted to big-ticket, unique projects designed to increase tourism and

Big plays doom Tigerhawks in loss to Saydel

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Colfax-Mingo football coach Jeff Lietz’s message to his Tigerhawks after a 35-22 loss to Saydel was clear.

“I hate losing fellas, but I am proud of the effort, and in the end, a loss to a Class 2A school in a non-district game does not mean much to our season,” Lietz said to his team after the game.

The Tigerhawks scored fewer than 22 points in all but one of their losses last season while finishing 1-8.

Colfax-Mingo scored three touchdowns in the loss to the Eagles on Friday and held a lead on two different occasions.

In the end, the Tigerhawks couldn’t take advantage of a few big opportunities and Saydel’s two biggest plays of the game were too much to overcome in the season opener.

It was the end of a tough day for the Tigerhawks all around. Most of the team, and the community, spent the morning attending the funeral of former teammate and friend Ty Carlson. Carlson died in a car accident recently at the age of 19.

the lead in the second quarter.

Then after Colfax-Mingo went ahead 15-14 early in the third quarter, Saydel quarterback TJ Stephenson hooked up with Devin Walker for a 67-yard gain through the air. Two plays later, Trevor Sprague scored his first rushing touchdown of the night from four yards out.

Lietz said the pass play to Walker happened after his Tigerhawk defense made a late substitution.

“The 67-yard pass was a situation where we had a guy come out, and we didn’t know he was coming out,” Lietz said.

“We threw someone in just to throw someone in. We had the wrong personnel in on the

play, and I will take the blame on that one.”

Lee broke three tackles on the kick return touchdown.

“The kickoff return, we just need to break down better,” Lietz said. “That was our first kick off of the season. That is just one of those early breakdowns. That is what we have the games for. We hope to fix

that kind of stuff early in the season. The kid is pretty fast, too, which helps the cause.”

US wins Solheim Cup, beating Europe on Iowa course WEST DES MOINES (AP) — Lexi Thompson set the tone by rallying from four holes down.

The rest of the Americans took it from there and restored their dominance in the Solheim Cup “I was just, like, ‘I just have to go all in and go for it all,’” Thompson said.

Her U.S. teammates followed her lead, and the Americans finished off their most-decisive Solheim Cup victory in over 20 years, beating Europe 16 1/2-11 1/2 on Sunday at Des Moines Golf and Country Club.

Cristie Kerr and Paula Creamer won key matches, and Gerina Piller sealed it with a birdie putt that put her 3 up over Florenty-

na Parker with three to play in a 4-and-2 victory.

“They just bonded. They believed in each other. They played for the person behind them and in front of them. And they played some amazing golf,” said Juli Inkster, who joined Judy Rankin as the only U.S. captains to win the Solheim Cup twice.

The Americans are 10-5 in the biennial tournament after their biggest win since a 17-11 triumph in 1996 in Wales. They rallied to win in Germany in 2015, and have taken five of the last seven matches.

Kerr beat Mel Reid 2 and 1 for her record-extending 21st point in the competition, and Creamer edged Georgia Hall 1 up to raise

her total to 19 1/2 — second on the U.S. career list.

Thompson ended up halving with Anna Nordqvist, and Angel Yin halved with Karine Icher as the teams split the 12 singles matches.

Lizette Salas and Danielle Kang also won for the U.S. Salas edged Jodi Ewart Shadoff 1 up, and Kang beat Emily Pedersen 3 and 1.

For Europe, Catriona Matthew beat Stacy Lewis 1 up, Caroline Masson topped Michelle Wie 4 and 2, Charley Hull edged Brittany Lang 1 up, Carlota Ciganda beat Brittany Lincicome 4 and 3, and Madelene Sagstrom defeated Austin Ernst 3 and 2.

Purdue University to expand alcohol sales at sporting events

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Purdue University is hoping to increase revenue and attendance at sporting events by selling alcohol.

Purdue announced in June that alcohol will be available throughout the university’s football stadium and basketball arena, the Indianapolis Business Journal reported.

Beer and wine won’t be available in areas immediately adjacent to student sections.

Officials spent two years testing alcohol sales on a patio near the football stadium’s end zone. Athletic Director Mike Bobinski said the fan response was positive and alcohol-related disturbances decreased.

Bobinski said the university hopes to use the alcohol sales not just to raise revenue, but to attract and retain more fans at the games.

The university’s football attendance dropped eight percent in 2016, down to slightly more than 34,000.

That’s only 60 percent of the capacity of the Ross-Aid Stadium.

“It’s no secret our football program has been struggling,” he said. “We’ve struggled recently to draw people to our games. We want to remove objections and obstacles for people coming to our games. This is one way to do that.”

The university hasn’t yet made moves to sell beer sponsorships or advertising, but they may consider it.

“If we do that, that’s something we’ll want to do carefully and thoughtfully,” Bobinski said. “But I wouldn’t rule it out.”

He added that any alcohol sponsorship would include a reminder to drink carefully

and responsibly.

Penn State’s Franklin 3rd-highest paid coach in Big Ten Conference STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State football coach James Franklin has signed a contract extension that guarantees him $34.7 million through 2022, putting him third in average annual compensation in the Big Ten. According to terms released

by Penn State on Friday, the deal is worth an average of $5.78 million annually and contains up to $1 million in incentive bonuses each year.

The extension modifies the initial six-year contract Franklin signed when he was hired in 2014. That contract was to pay him $4.6 million this year.

After back-to-back 7-6 seasons in Franklin’s first two

Tigerhawks

Cubs sweep Blue Jays with wild victory in 10 innings

Continued from Page 1B Tigerhawks with a running game they did not have in 2016.

The passing game has work to do though as senior Reegan Van Dyke finished 5-of-21 for 53 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He also rushed for 50 yards on 16 carries.

The Tigerhawks came up short on a few key plays in the first half that could have given the visitors a lead at halftime. They fumbled away the ball inside the Saydel 5-yard line in the first quarter and several receivers dropped passes that would have led to big plays.

“We should have had the lead at halftime,” Lietz said.

“The kickoff return was big, and we fumbled on the 3-yard line. Take away those two plays away, and we are winning.”

Van Dyke’s touchdown came on a 17-yard scoring strike to senior Alex Lewis that cut the Tigerhawk deficit to 29-22 with 42.8 seconds to play in the third quarter. His lone interception came on a deep pass in the final seconds.

“We ran the ball well. The holes were huge,” Lietz said.

“The receivers weren’t getting separation that we were hoping they’d get. We moved the ball, but we made too many mistakes. It was first-game stuff, but it hurt us in the end.

“They certainly did a nice job of defending the pass and putting pressure on Reegan.

We had some success run-

years in Happy Valley, the Nittany Lions won the Big Ten last year. Penn State finished 11-3 and No. 6 in the country after starting 2-2, capping the program’s best season in the postJoe Paterno era with a 52-49 loss to Southern California in the Rose Bowl. Franklin was selected Big Ten coach of the year.

Less than a year later, Franklin has a contract with an annual average compensation that puts him behind only Urban Meyer of Ohio State and Jim Harbaugh of Michigan among Big Ten coaches.

According the USA Today coaches’ salary data base, Harbaugh, Meyer and Nick Saban were the only coaches who made more than $6 million before bonuses in 2016. Four other coaches made at least $5 million.

ning the ball, but we couldn’t put it all together.”

Gumerov got free on multiple runs on the Tigerhawks’ first few possessions, but those drives stalled out with no points.

Colfax-Mingo took a 7-6 lead with 8:43 to play in the second quarter when it scored on its third possession of the game.

The Tigerhawks’ defense got a sack from junior Holister Koenig to keep Saydel deep in its own territory. A long punt return by junior Zarek Hill gave Colfax-Mingo a short field to work with.

Gumerov and Van Dyke both had 7-yard runs, and then Van Dyke hit Lewis for 12 yards to set up Gumerov’s first TD. He scored from 2 yards out to make it 7-6.

“I think we’d like to run

the ball more than we did last year, and Damir gives us that opportunity,” Lietz said. “It will make it harder to defend us if we can do that. We saw four DBs that were solid tonight, but most of the teams on our schedule won’t have that as their strength on defense.”

Lee’s return on the ensuing kickoff helped the Eagles (1-0) take a 14-7 lead at halftime.

The Tigerhawk defense held Saydel without points on its first possession of the second half.

The C-M offense held the momentum with a quick scoring drive that covered 45 yards in three plays.

Van Dyke hit sophomore Trinity Schroeder on a 30yard pass, and then Gumerov rushed for 15 yards on the

next two plays. The final run to paydirt covered six yards and gave the Tigerhawks a 15-14 advantage.

Stephenson and Sprague were too much to slow down though. Stephenson completed four of his five passes in the second half and was 8-of13 in the game for 178 yards and two scores.

Sprague rushed for 80 yards and two scores, but the Tigerhawks did a better job against the run than it did most of last year.

“We are heads and shoulders above where we were last year. I haven’t looked at the stat sheet, but I was very happy with how we stopped the inside run,” Lietz said.

“They hurt us over the top and on the kickoff, but other than that, we did a nice job of stopping the run and plugging up the middle.”

Senior Colton Lourens led the Tigerhawk defense with 7 1/2 tackles and one sack. Senior Nick Barnes added 5 1/2 tackles and one sack, senior Jake Dunsbergen collected five tackles and Hill finished with four tackles and one fumble recovery.

Hill missed several plays in the game as he battled back spasms all night.

The Tigerhawks, who will play 10 games in 2017, play Lynnville-Sully for their home opener at 7 p.m. Friday in Colfax.

CHICAGO (AP) — Alex Avila felt for Raffy Lopez. It was quite a day for catchers.

Avila capped Chicago’s threerun 10th inning with a two-run single, and the Cubs swept the Toronto Blue Jays with a wild 6-5 victory on Sunday.

With two outs and the bases loaded, Avila lined a base hit into right field against Roberto Osuna (3-4). Ben Zobrist scored easily and Javier Baez slid in safely just ahead of the tag attempt by Lopez.

“The first pitch that I fouled off was a cutter in deep and he tried to go back in there with another cutter and just kind of left it more middle of the plate,” Avila said.

The improbable rally also included two batters reaching on swing-and-miss strikeouts and a wild pitch that scored Kyle Schwarber — all with Lopez behind the plate. The 29-yearold backstop also got beat up by a couple other balls in the inning.

“It is a tough one,” he said.

“You feel like it’s your fault.

Sometimes the game gets the best of you. You’ve just got to bounce back. Just learn from it.

I just have to respond.”

Toronto grabbed the lead with two runs in the top of the inning on Kevin Pillar’s RBI single off Koji Uehara, and Norichika Aoki’s bases-loaded loaded walk against Justin Wilson (4-4).

Osuna, however, was handed his eighth blown save of the year.

“They’ve got the magic here.

There’s no doubt about it,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.

Pillar also robbed Kris Bryant of extra bases with a spectacular leaping catch against the ivy-covered wall in center in the seventh, drawing appreciative cheers from the crowd of 41,459 at Wrigley Field.

Albert Almora Jr. hit a three-run double for NL Central-leading Chicago, which completed its fifth three-game sweep of the season. Kyle Hendricks allowed three runs and six hits in six innings.

Chicago jumped in front on Almora’s big hit in the third, but Toronto responded with single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth, capped by Miguel Montero’s second homer since the Cubs traded the catcher to the Blue Jays. After Jose Bautista flied out to begin the sixth, Montero drove Hendricks’ next pitch over the wall in left-center.

Kyle Busch sweeps NASCAR races at Bristol BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Erik Jones really needed to win, and Kyle Busch would have loved to celebrate the first Cup win for the kid he discovered.

But this is Bristol Motor Speedway, and Busch practically owns the place.

Busch swept the weekend for the second time in his career by winning the Monster Energy Cup Series race Saturday night. He also won in the Truck Series on Wednesday night and the Xfintiy Series on Friday night . He’s the only driver to pull off the sweep, and he also did it in 2010.

Busch toyed with the crowd, which had equal cheers and boos, by cupping his ear to the fans who disapproved of the win.

“So proud of Rowdy Nation. This one’s for you!” he shouted.

And the haters?

“I don’t care. All noise is good noise,” he said.

He then collected a broom from an onlooker to commemorate the sweep.

Busch admitted this win was the most difficult of the week because of the race he had with rookie Erik Jones, his protege, future teammate and fellow Toyota driver.

Jones led the most laps and the rookie believes he needs a victory to lock up his spot in the playoffs.

“Erik Jones put up a whale of a fight,” said Busch. “I was running with my tongue hanging out, my arms were Jell-O and my throat hurts.”

Busch won for the 40th time in the Cup Series, sixth time at Bristol in Cup, and second time this season. All told, he’s won 20 times across NASCAR’s national series at the Tennessee bullring.

Jones settled for second,

one spot short of his first career victory. He led a racehigh 260 laps and felt it had been his best chance to date to win a Cup race.

He was admittedly disappointed to fall a spot short.

“You don’t want to sound like you’re whining or being a sore loser by saying it sucks to run second, but it’s a bummer.

It hurts,” Jones said. “This was the first shot that I really had to come really close to it in the Cup Series. It’s Kyle Busch. He won all three races here this weekend.”

Jones conceded how difficult it is to beat Busch anywhere, particularly at Bristol.

Busch is also Jones’ former boss, and Jones was amazed at Busch’s ability to win three national NASCAR races in four nights.

Jones said he’s done a triple-duty weekend before, and “it was something I honestly never want to do again, so I respect him for that.”

Solheim Cup Continued from Page 1B “We just got outplayed, no doubt about it,” European captain Annika Sorenstam said. “I’m just so proud of how hard they fought. What can I say? Just congratulate the USA because they played some awesome golf.”

Her team five points down entering the day, Sorenstam tried to keep the mood light by dressing up in a blue and yellow Viking hat and wig and dancing for the cameras before play began.

Nordqvist did her best to set the tone for the Europeans in the opening match, winning the first four holes.

But after a birdie on No. 10, Thompson holed out from 112 yards for eagle on the 11th hole — a shot so impressive that even Nordqvist was compelled to high-five her.

The 22-year-old Thompson followed with an eagle putt on the 15th hole, and a birdie on 16 put her ahead for the first time. Though Nordqvist rallied, earning the half-point by sticking her 154-yard approach on No. 18 within a foot, an American win was inevitable after Thompson’s run.

“To me, that was like six points,” Inkster said. “It’s probably fitting they both got half a point. Both played amazingly. It just shows the heart of her and her determination. You think she’s out of it and then the switch goes off.”

Nordqvist went 3-0-1 during the week to lead the Europeans.

Creamer was 3-1 filling in for the injured Jessica Korda, matching Kang and Salas for the top U.S. records. Creamer kept her celebration muted following Hall’s missed 4-foot par putt on the 18th hole. But this was a huge bounce back event for Creamer after her recent struggles kept her off the U.S. roster until Korda got hurt.

“For Juli to play me four matches, you know — I knew my game was there, but obviously it didn’t look like it was,” Creamer said.

The 47-year-old Matthew was 3-1 after replacing the injured Suzann Pettersen.

“He’s a hardcore racer, he really commits himself to that and he does a really good job that he doesn’t let it affect his Cup racing, at all,” Jones said.

Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth were third and fourth as Joe Gibbs Racing took the win and two other spots inside the top four, while all four drivers were in Toyotas.

Busch passed Jones for the lead with 55 laps remaining as the track changed and the top lane became the preferable spot. Jones’ car didn’t handle as well in that area, and he had Busch and Kenseth all over his bumper. It was Busch who moved from third to first, but Jones didn’t relent.

He chased Kenseth after Kenseth moved into second, but Jones ultimately gouged Kenseth out of his way. It put Jones in the middle of a weird JGR sandwich. In front of him, Busch, the driver who launched Jones’ career and future teammate, and Kenseth,

the guy Jones is replacing next season who is looking for 2018 employment.

Hamlin eventually took position from Kenseth, but it was so obviously a night for Toyota.

Martin Truex Jr. finished 21st and did not clinch the regular-season title.

Awkward: Jones has already been announced as Kenseth’s replacement, and Kenseth sounded postrace like a driver who might be in his final year.

So it could have been weird when the two were seated next to each other in a post-race news conference. Instead, Kenseth was in a great mood and cracked jokes about Jones bumping him during the race.

“Didn’t remember.

Shouldn’t have brought it up. Now I’m mad,” Kenseth joked. “Takes my ride and runs into me.”

But Kenseth really was OK

with his situation.

“Certainly I wanted to win tonight. I’d be happier if I would have won, but yeah, I’m pretty happy,” he smiled.

Earnhardt’s Farewell: Dale Earnhardt Jr. had a terrible weekend in what is being billed as his final stop at Bristol before retirement. He wasn’t a factor in the Xfinity Series race, needed IV’s on Friday night for dehydration, and was an uncompetitive 23rd in the Cup race.

“We struggled,” he said.

“We’re struggling, gosh, I just don’t know what to do. We were pretty quick for the first 20 laps, passed five cars and then we dropped like a rock.

The thing would get so tight and wouldn’t turn.”

Up Next: NASCAR’s top series is off next weekend for the final break of the season.

The Cup Series resumes at Darlington Raceway for the Sept. 3 race that celebrates throwback eras of NASCAR.

Keselowski closing truck team partly because of finances BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Brad Keselowski is closing his truck series team at the end of the season, a decision that in part came down to him losing money on the venture.

Brad Keselowski Racing has fielded trucks in NASCAR since 2008, and more than a dozen young drivers have come through his organization. His team has won nine Camping World Truck Series races and twice contended for the championship. Keselowski fields two full-time Fords — for Chase Briscoe and Austin Cindric — and has about 50 employees.

Yet Keselowski has not turned a profit on his passion, and has said before he loses $1 million a year on the program. Red Horse Racing also suspended its truck operations in May. “There wasn’t really one reason, but certainly at some point every business needs to have

some profitability,” Keselowski said Friday at Bristol Motor Speedway. “But I never went into it expecting to make money, so I can’t really blame that.

Everybody is losing a little, but that was one of the factors. I wouldn’t say it was the only one.”

His father, Bob Keselowski, was a Truck Series team owner until 2005.

“The Truck Series is truly special to me given my family’s ties to the history of the sport, and this decision comes with much contemplation,” Keselowski said.

He hopes to one day field cars in the NASCAR Cup Series, and the decision to close the truck operations could move that along.

“I’ve never made it a secret that I would eventually like to be an owner at the top level of the sport,” Keselowski said.

“And, while this is many years down the line, I want to start to prepare for that possibility now.

“Part of that preparation is seeking to develop an advanced engineering and manufacturing company that would be housed out of our 78,000-square-foot facility in Statesville (North Carolina) and ultimately help to support this vision.”

The decision to close the team came last month, Keselowski said, when he signed an extension to continue to drive a Ford for Team Penske. Many thought the lengthy contract negotiations were in part because Keselowski wanted more support from Ford for BKR. “You always want more, but it’s a pie and there is only so much to go around. I don’t know exactly what Ford’s interests are or weren’t,” he said. “I can’t really speak to that. It wasn’t really a factor in the decision.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News NASCAR Camping World Truck Series rookie Chase Briscoe drives the No. 29 truck for Brad Keslowski Racing during the NCWTS race at Iowa in June. Briscoe is fourth in the drivers’ standings and sixth in the truck playoff standings. BKR is closing its truck racing operation at the end of this season.

CITY OF KELLOGG AUGUST 14, 2017 Kellogg City Council opened the meeting reciting the “The Pledge Allegiance.”

Kellogg City council met in regular session on August 14, 2017 with Mayor Frymoyer presiding.

Council members present: Wertz, Avery and Hinshaw.

Absent: Foster and Campbell.

Motion by Wertz and seconded

by Avery to accept the minutes as mailed and the Financial statement as prepared. Passed unanimously.

Dottie Sharp representative of the Legion Riders requested to block off High St from the alley to the Railroad on September 16th from 4:00 p. m. to 12:00 a.m. to assist with fund raiser for Stand Down to support the veterans. Motion

by Avery and seconded by Hinshaw to permit the closing of the High Street.

Passed unanimously.

Marty Anderson addressed the council concerning the alley on the south side of his property.

Water is coming down the alley and running into his garage. He would like to have the alley reshaped to divert the water to run to the opposite way and not into the garage and other parts of his home.

Maintenance and Avery have looked at the situation and will be looking into a solution.

Diana Mick has issued with her alley too.

She also wanted to inform the Council that KEDO will be having the Machin's removing the sign above the Park entrance, taking to Sign Pro for restoration.

Ron Pickles inquired about the paving job on 3rd St. Avery reported that he has spoken the Manatts but Steve has not been to Kellogg yet. Avery instructed maintenance to take some gravel to put on the drive.

Jim Boettcher inquired about the ditch on 2nd St. He asked if they are going to clean it out as he is not able. Maintenance will look at the ditch. He also can take concrete block to the old sewer for disposal. The disposal is for the citizens of Kellogg.

Randy De Reus announced Garage Sales Days are September 9, 2017. He asked if there are any maps available to hand out.

Calvin has some maps.

Randy De Reus also inquired if anyone has been given the City Codes with a ticket book. This has not been done yet.

The new Garbage Ordinance has not been completed.

Mayor Frymoyer will be contacting Dodd's Trash. After the signing of the contract the Ordinance can be completed.

Attorney Caldwell will be contact concerning the Farm Land Rental.

Wertz will be taking the new pictures for the Attorney to review on the properties at question.

Maintenance reported he had Bestell repair the sewer compression line connected the Reuel sewer lift. The fiber optic cable was under the sewer line causing the line to rise and clog.

Avery suggested to extend the hours of the part time employee to get the work caught up. Mayor Frymoyer would like to have a full council for the decision.

Motion by Hinshaw and seconded by Wertz to present the bills. Passed unanimously.

Astrograph

If you’re in North America, put on your eclipse glasses and get ready for the show.

Though the contiguous United States is the place to view the celestial event of the year, its astrological resonance will be felt globally. The Leo sun’s disappearance at the shadow of the new moon tells us to keep our egos in check and hold on to hope.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 21). Finishing some creative work becomes a near obsession at the first part of this solar return. Someone takes the pressure off you in September, and you’re able to be very present to your life because of this. Money isn’t the point, but it sure will be nice to get more

of it in 2018. The road smooths before you. Gemini and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 45, 16, 31 and 10.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Life is not all glamour and cake. It’s work. The best way to avoid drudgery is to stop thinking of it as drudgery and just get in there and finish it.

Bonus: While you’re at it, you’ll come up with a better way to execute the task.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You may set out alone, but you will have companionship along this path. The journey will require you to lean on and develop the qualities of adaptability, integrity and forbearance.
