The Jasper County Conservation along with the Newton Public Library coordinated the event and began collecting 500 solar glasses months ago, which ended up catering to the 300 attendees.

Naturalist Katie Cantu kicked off the day at 11:30 a.m. with a presentation about the eclipse along with safety guidelines.

Youth services librarian Phyllis Peter prepared crafts such as, moon Playdoh and coloring pages.

Overall, Cantu said the turn out at the event was great to see despite the not-so perfect weather.

“We had two good glimpses, and I think it made it fun when people would cheer when you could see it,” Cantu said.

“We wanted to provide a

great location with information and glasses. It’s great we have something like this we can do together.”

Most attendees were locals but couple Jim and Joyce Riddle traveled from Winona, Minn. to Iowa to view the eclipse in hopes the weather would be better.

Riddle grew up in Newton, and he and his wife decided to travel southbound.

“We thought there’d be a better chance here and so far we’ve seen it once already,” Jim Riddle said.

Changes and additions to positions within the Newton city government were approved by the Newton City Council on Monday.

The public works department was the main focus of adjustments with changes bringing more emphasis on recreation and code enforcement in the city.

“The plan presented affirms that the public works department has a very experienced and capable staff,” city adminMuckler istrator Matt Muckler said. “It also recognizes the city’s wishes to take steps towards a sustainable annual budget and place a higher emphasis on both recreation and code enforcement by organizing into five departments: police, fire, library, planning and zoning and public works; and five divisions reporting to the city administrator: administrative services, finance, marketing, economic COUNCIL | 3A

Prisoner found dead at Newton Correctional Facility Newton Daily News An inmate at the Newton Correctional Facility has been found dead from an apparent suicide. Paz Alcides Chica, 43, was found hanging in his cell at 10:05 a.m. and was pronounced dead at 9:53 p.m. on Saturday.

Staff found Chica and performed CPR until he regained a pulse. He was then transported by Lifefligt to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines. He was taken off life support due to no brain activity. The medical examiner is performing an autopsy.

Chica was serving a life sentence for two counts of third-degree sexual abuse, three counts of lascivious acts with a child in Buena Vista County and two counts of a sexual predator from Sac County since April 2014.

Small business is booming in Iowa State officials report a record number of new business filings

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News In 2014, Wayne Spohnheiner had a problem that would make Winnie the Pooh jealous; the amateur beekeeper was running out of places to store the honey he’d gathered. Jars of honey were stacked throughout the house, and no one ever made a cup of tea without at least spoonful of honey.

When Spohnheiner realized he could pair his interest in beekeeping with his other hobby, brewing beer, a business was born.

“We were hobby beekeepers, but we always had extra honey, more than we could use,” Spohnheiner said.

The Buzzed Bee Meadery officially opened in 2014, but it was Labor Day of 2016 that Spohnheiner and his wife Michelle opened the doors for the first time on their tasting room, located at 1755 340th St., in Melbourne.

Brewing mead, a fermented mix of honey, water and yeast, is the fastest growing segment of the alcohol industry according to Spohnheiner. Mead has been

around for centuries, but has recently seen an upswing in popularity.

The brewery is a small producer, with only 1,200 gallons of mead this year, but Spohnheiner said he hopes to push that over 2,000 gallons next year to meet an increasing demand.

“People have been very receptive, we’ve won some awards, and it just felt like a safe business to get into,” Spohnheiner said.

The Spohnheiners aren’t the only Iowans who’ve taken the great leap into the unknown of opening up their own business. In an announcement from Paul BUSINESS | 3A

Central Iowa Today Today in History

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Aug. 22, 2017

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Tuesday, Aug. 22, the 234th day of 2017. There are 131 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 22, 1851, the schooner America outraced more than a dozen British vessels off the English coast to win a trophy that came to be known as the America’s Cup. On this date: In 1485, England’s King Richard III was killed in the Battle of Bosworth Field, effectively ending the War of the Roses.

In 1787, inventor John Fitch demonstrated his steamboat on the Delaware River to delegates from the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.

In 1846, Gen. Stephen W. Kearny proclaimed all of New Mexico a territory of the United States.

In 1910, Japan annexed Korea, which remained under Japanese control until the end of World War II. In 1932, the British Broadcasting Corp. conducted its first experimental television broadcast, using a 30-line mechanical system.

In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Vice President Richard Nixon were nominated for second terms in office by the Republican National Convention in San Francisco.

In 1972, President Richard Nixon was nominated for a second term of office by the Republican National Convention in Miami Beach.

In 1992, on the second day of the Ruby Ridge siege in Idaho, an FBI sharpshooter killed Vicki Weaver, the wife of white separatist Randy Weaver.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush, addressing a Veterans of Foreign Wars conference in Kansas City, Mo., offered a fresh endorsement of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, calling him “a good guy, good man with a difficult job.”

Five years ago: Ousted Penn State president Graham Spanier and his lawyers attacked a university-backed report on the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal, calling it a “blundering and indefensible indictment.” (Spanier was later convicted of child endangerment for failing to report a child sexual abuse allegation against Sandusky.) Nina Bawden, 87, a British author who wrote children’s classics, including the World War II story “Carrie’s War,” died in London.

One year ago: Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, appearing on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” pushed back against charges that she was physically unfit for the White House, saying the accusations were part of a “wacky strategy”

by GOP rival Donald Trump and an “alternative reality” that was not focused on the kinds of issues that were most important to voters.

Entertainment ‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’ outdoes ‘Logan Lucky’ at box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — Critics loved “Logan Lucky” and gave a big collective shrug to “The Hitman’s Bodyguard,” but when it came to the test of the marketplace, audiences went their own way.

The two action flicks faced off this weekend, and “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” emerged the victor with a chart-topping $21.6 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, while “Logan Lucky” sputtered on arrival with $8.1 million.

Both had notable stars, “Logan Lucky” has Channing Tatum and Daniel Craig, while “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” boasts Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, both were opening in over 3,000 theaters and both cost around $30 million to produce. Also, both were targeted toward adults, although one was R-rated (“Hitman’s Bodyguard”) and one PG-13 (“Logan Lucky”).

But when it came to reviews, critics vastly preferred “Logan Lucky,” which boasts a “fresh” 93 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, while “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” rests at a “rotten” 39 percent. And yet, when presented with the

A new community services manager position would be responsible for supervising recreation, code enforcement, including up to two seasonal staff as needed, engineering support services, the city’s two cemeteries and the airport.

eliminated and the new position of golf pro/recreation specialist will be created. A park services specialist position would also be created to assist with park projects and recreational services Muckler said. The creation of that position would replace an open groundskeeper position.

In the parks division, a parks operations assistant superintendent position has also been created to help with the day to day operations of the division and managing the various crews working throughout the city. The assistant position will also help free up the parks operations superintendent position to work on additional projects.

“Including other savings previously approved by city coun-

The city also plans to tap the Newton Development Corporation to help achieve economic development priorities with the elimination of the economic development director position.

An additional $25,000 is proposed to be invested annually from the city to NDC to help with the expanded role.

the sky could be heard throughout the park.

A few employees from Progress Industries were enthusiastic about the eclipse and were happy to take their clients to the park for the day.

Shelly Hiney and Carol Wall had a bag full of snacks, all with an astronomy theme, including Milky Ways, Cosmic brownies and Sun Chips.

Hiney and Wall took two clients from Progress Industries, and it was their first time ever peering through solar glasses. Hiney said she didn’t know it would be such a hit.

“It makes our jobs fun to be able to take them to different local events,” Wall said. “We like to get out and do things with them so they aren’t always staying at home.”

At 1:08 p.m., the eclipse was expected to be in totality in Jasper County with only 5 percent of the sun poking through. Attendees noticed the darkened sky, the crickets chirping and observed the changes of nature all before a heavy rainfall began.

“Even though the totality only happened for over a minute, it’s still amazing for us to see,” Cantu said.

“For some of us, this is once in a lifetime.”

Pate, Iowa’s Secretary of State, 21,240 Iowans filed new business filings in Iowa last year, setting a record. The old record, set the previous fiscal year, was 20,155.

Pate said that the continued increase represents good news for Iowa’s economic health.

The Spohnheiners made sure to look before they leaped however, doing plenty of research before they opened their doors for the first time. They created a solid business and tried to do as much market research as they could to make sure they understood what they’re getting into.

Newton cook brings home five ribbons in jams, jellies competition DES MOINES — Lashelle Woods, of Newton, took first place in the Peach category in the C&H Canned Jams competition, judged on Aug. 9, prior to the start of the 2017 Iowa State Fair. She also received third place in the Sour Cherry category.

Jams are a thick spread made with crushed or chopped fruit cooked with sugar. Jam has the same brilliance and color as jelly, but is softer in texture.

Entries were judged on flavor, consistency, appearance and food safety.

Woods also had success in the

C&H Classic Iowa Canned Jellies competition. Her entry in the Sour Cherry category earned her a second place ribbon. She earned two third place ribbons, one for Wild Black Raspberry and the second for Combination of Two Fruits (Sour Cherry/ Black Raspberry).

Jellies are made with fruit and sugar but unlike jams, marmalades and preserves, a true jelly is translucent with no seeds or fruit in sight. Jelly is expected to hold its shape while still be easy to scoop out with a spoon.

Entries were judged on appearance, flavor and consistency.

History comes alive with the Heritage Exhibits A little dust was in the air as Iowans came to compete in the Heritage Exhibits contest. Items were judged prior to the start of the 2017 Iowa State Fair. Debra Johnston, of Newton, claimed first place in the Worthy Item Not Listed category and fourth in the Vase category,

Go Cubs Go!

his summer, a new passion has entered into my life. It is one that I would have never guessed I would care about and am still surprised that after 32 years I have taken it up. My new hobby is baseball.

No, not playing it or softball but watching it and staying up to date on current standings and upcoming series.

The only team I care to follow are the Chicago Cubs. After last year’s World Series run, I was hooked. I can honestly say it was the single greatest sporting event I have seen, and it wasn’t even in person, although that would have been amazing.

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson My husband has always loved baseball, it was his favorite sport to play growing up. When I was at the pool swimming, he was at the ball field playing a pick up game. When we met and then were married, I did not grab hold of his love of the sport. I had been to a Cubs game in high school and even watched a game or two in college during the Cubs run at the series, but I never really cared, I just observed.

Maybe it is because my passion for all sports, especially football and more specifically Iowa Hawkeye football has grown substantially, I have come to ap-

preciate other sports more. I will say I was not a die-hard Cubs fan last year and only turned on a game here and there during the season. I did watch every single game leading up to the eventual championship and lost a lot of sleep and nerves along the way, too.

I had no intention of following the Cubs so closely this year but when basketball wrapped up and there was a void in my sports viewing, in swooped baseball. I started with just having the game on in the background, but I have since come to care about every game almost as much as when they were playing in the series.

I know how many games they were out of first place or now, how many games ahead they are. I pay attention to the other teams in the division to make sure they are staying far enough behind

or if they are creeping up a game or two.

I have my favorite players and pitching preferences, and I’m trying really hard to keep up with the batting order (it seems to change every game.) My husband still knows way more about baseball, often telling me it was a “sixfour-three double play” and the special names, moves or plays specific to baseball. He also has a vast knowledge of baseball history that blows my mind, especially when he can’t remember what I told him yesterday.

I am excited to follow the Cubs and have a team to fill my summer sports void. The Hawkeyes will always be my number one team, but with the Bears circling the drain, the Cubs are now a strong second.

There goes Colonel Sanders One of the worst advertising flops I’ve ever seen has been the effort to replace the original Colonel Sanders, the portly, white-suited gent who invented, and later advertised, Kentucky Fried Chicken.

The first Colonel Sanders replacement was teenage-girl-chained-in-the-cellar creepy, and the newest guy is vaguely threatening, plus, in the most recent television commercial, the camera focuses on his crotch.

The original Colonel Sanders was the king of cholesterol, the count of crispy skin. He was nonthreatening, and a little heavy, and he really cared about chicken.

Of course, you can’t talk about fried chicken without talking about the Confederacy, at least not when you’re talking about a Colonel Sanders, to whom there ought to be many statues.

I was born in Massachusetts, and I live there now, but I grew up in Missouri, a state that never really decided if it was Union or Confederate.

Over the decades, I’ve owned a couple items of Confederate flag clothing.

For a long time, you could wear your Confederate flag T-shirt, and it meant no more than that you were from a place, that you had a regional identity.

It could mean that you were a fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd, or that you liked bourbon. It might mean that you liked country music, or that you liked ham and beans with cornbread, or that you knew how to fry a piece of steak like it was a piece of chicken.

To you, the flag might mean you live in Michigan now, but you miss the way people talked down home in Georgia, or that you had once walked down a dirt road in Arkansas on a hot day, and the dust was so deep that every time you took a barefoot step, you raised a little cloud. It might mean you went to a proudly Southern school, or that your motorcycle club wanted people to think they were rebels.

And maybe an ancestor did fight in the Civil War, or maybe he hid in the barn the whole time.

And maybe your family did own slaves, or maybe it was laughable to think that your hillbilly family ever owned anything but a shack. It was nostalgia for a place, for the sound of Southern-accented English and the taste of sweet tea.

You could wear the Confederate flag that way.

I did.

After a while, my Confederate flag clothing wore out, and I chose not to replace any of it because it stopped being a hillbilly wink at the world.

In the last few years, that flag has changed from a wink to a snarl, and though I like biscuits and gravy, I’m not nostalgic for the slavery I never saw, or segregation, and I believe the right side won the Civil War. After this last month, I know I’ll never wear that flag again.

The flag I wore, the one I wore to a Willie Nelson concert in Missouri, that flag is gone. Those bastards in Charlottesville stole it from me.

It’s time for Colonel Sanders to stand down because, when a thing is gone, it’s gone with the wind.

YOUR VIEW

Iowa Walking College More than 2,400 years ago, Hippocrates said, “Walking is a man’s best medicine.” It seems that he was correct. Walking has benefits not only for your physical health but also for your mental health.

Walking is an automatic human function, and it serves many practical roles. Yet modern man seems determined to walk as little as possible. Why is this and what has happened in our society to create a culture of driving?

Our cities have gradually become designed around cars and

automobiles, so much so that the Surgeon General’s made a Call to Action to Promote Walking and Walkable Communities. So, the big question is how do we do this?

I am currently a fellow in the Iowa Walking College. Through this education, I am learning about creating an environment to encourage walking as a health activity and a mode of transportation. This is a slow culture change and infrastructure change. Cities need to be built with store fronts, wide sidewalks, appropriate cross walks and interesting things to see.

Newton is on the right path, there are many positives around

the square, including sidewalks, storefronts, greenery, benches, garbage cans and barriers between pedestrians and vehicles. I want to encourage our community to take a walk daily for exercise or as transportation.

The Jasper County Health Department invites you to Walking Wednesday. Every Wednesday at noon we take a walk around the square, five laps is about a mile.

Everyone is invited and feel free to walk at your own pace. It is a great time to socialize and get some exercise. I hope to see you there.

Kristina Winfield, RN, BSN Public Health Coordinator Newton

What happened to all those foreclosed houses?

We know that millions of American families lost their homes after Wall Street’s 2007 financial crash.

But where did all those houses go?

It turns out that Wall Streeters themselves formed profiteering investment groups that rushed out to scoop up tens of thousands of those foreclosed properties, usually grabbing them on the cheap at courthouse auctions in suburban metro areas that were hard-hit by the crash.

These moneyed syndicates have deep, deep pockets, so they easily outbid local buyers to take possession of the majority of the single-family homes being sold off in many distressed places.

Why are they buying? To turn the homes into rental properties and become the dominant suburban landlord, controlling the local market and constantly jacking up rents.

For example, the Wall Street Journal found that in Nashville’s suburb of Spring Hill, just four of these predatory giants own 700 houses — giving this oligopoly of absentee investors ownership of three-fourths of all rental houses in town.

Another View Jim Hightower One of these bulk buyers is an arm of Blackstone, the world’s largest private equity firm. Another is an equity outfit that was spun out of the housing speculation department of Goldman Sachs. And still another is a billionaire whose investors include the Alaska state oil fund.

Not only do rents jump dra-

matically when such outfits seize a market, but Wall Street’s intention is to impose “a new way” on housing America: They’re pushing a cultural shift in which homeownership is no longer part of the American Dream, and tenants are taught to accept annual rent increases as the price of having a home.

So the banksters crash the economy, you lose income and your home, they buy your house at auction, then they rent it to you at an ever-increasing price. The “new way” is the same old story: The rich robbing the rest of us.

Blanket the Square with the gospel event set for September on the Newton square The Blanket the Square event will kickoff this fall season Sept.

9 through Sept. 11. The event will blanket the square with the gospel. Organizers plan to spend the afternoon on those three days simply reading the Bible on the lawn of the Jasper County Courthouse.

The plan is very simple, a booth set up at the courthouse from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 9-11. All you

need to do is show up, check in at the booth, take your blanket and set it anywhere on the square or sit at one of the benches or picnic tables then start reading your Bible.

“My personal plan is to bring my family spread a blanket out on the Courthouse lawn and eat some chicken as we read and enjoy a great picnic experience sharing God’s word with family and

friends,” organizer Walt Claussen said. “If this works as well as it did at our state capitol we should be able to read through the entire Bible in those three days.”

With one person this would be an overwhelming task, but if people work together, it should be a great experience. All are invited to join Claussen and the other churches in Jasper County to blanket the square with the gospel.

Family’s tolerance of verbal abuse is red flag for girlfriend DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year and a half. In the beginning, he kept his family and me apart. I thought it was because they were extremely close, but turns out he was doing me a favor given their inappropriate and cruel treatment of one another.

At my boyfriend’s birthday lunch, his father called his mother the worst possible word anyone could call a female. My boyfriend and his sisters didn’t seem phased by his verbal abuse. I worry his parents’ toxic and unloving relationship is something he will eventually settle for in life. Is it possible for children not to emulate their parents’ example, or should I move on?

— NOT IN THE FAMILY DEAR NOT IN THE FAMILY: Children do not automatically follow the abysmal patterns set by their parents. However, if you and this man are serious and you are contemplating a future with him, I strongly recommend that before formalizing your relationship, you seek premarital counseling together to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

DEAR ABBY: I have a question about nail-biting/finger chewing.

We recently hired a new employee who is in daily contact with the public. He is a finger chewer, and his nails are bitten well below the finger tip. I am struggling with this because I had a childhood friend who chewed her fingers to the point of bleeding, and I have a strong negative reaction when I see people do it.

When, if ever, is it appropriate to speak to someone about this bad habit? I have recently learned that it is actually a medical diagnosis and can lead to gastric disorders.

We all know there are many germs

on our hands, and every time you put them in your mouth, you’re transferring them to your intestinal tract. — WORRIED IN THE EAST DEAR WORRIED: I have heard of very few nail-biters who are proud of the habit. There’s a saying — not original — that if you want someone to avoid you, just tell him something “for his own good.”

If you want a pleasant working relationship with this person, mind your own business and do not attempt to “help” him by offering unasked-for advice.

DEAR ABBY: I’m usually well-spoken and articulate with family and close friends. But when talking to strangers or potential employers, I tend to choke up and make no sense at all. I become anxious and forget what I want to say.

Do you have any ideas why this happens? — TALKER IN THE WEST DEAR TALKER: It may happen because you suffer from a form of social anxiety — one shared by many people. Fortunately, there’s help for it if you consult a mental health professional. Because it is interfering with employment opportunities, you shouldn’t wait.

IOWA CITY — An October trial has been scheduled for an Iowa parolee accused of fatally shooting an Iowa City taxi driver.

Iowa State Fair’s 1.13M visitors sets attendance mark DES MOINES (AP) — This year’s Iowa State Fair set an attendance record, with more than 1.13 million people visiting the 11-day event in Des Moines.

The fair announced Monday the fair that wrapped up Sunday had an unofficial atten-

dance of 1,130,071. That topped the previous record of 1,117,398 set in 2015.

The busiest day was Aug. 12, when 120,833 visitors were counted at the fair. The Iowa State Fair has been held since 1854. Next year’s fair will be held Aug. 9-19.

A breakdown of the record setting daily attendance for 2017: • Aug. 10 — 86,408 • Aug. 11 — 103,424 • Aug. 12 — 120,833 • Aug. 13 — 112,396 • Aug. 14 — 105,522 • Aug. 15 — 96,863

Has your child had Iowa’s required meningitis shot?

DES MOINES (AP) — Officials fear hundreds of Iowa students will be barred from classes on the first day of school because the students lack the newly required meningitis vaccination.

Districts have been notifying families for months, and some even set up vaccination clinics to meet rules passed by lawmakers in 2016. Polk County health officials say nearly 1,000 students still lacked the vaccination as of Monday afternoon.

The rules say students entering seventh grade and born after Sept. 15, 2004, will need proof of one vaccination. Students entering 12th grade and born after Sept. 15, 1999, will need proof of two doses of the vaccine, or one dose if the shot came after the student turned 16.

Exemptions can be made for medical or religious reasons.

Officials announce new Iowa license plate design AMES (AP) — Officials have announced the winner of online balloting for new license plates that will grace Iowa vehicles in the years to come.

The Iowa Transportation Department said Monday that the design dubbed “City and County Reboot” received more than 113,000 votes. The design’s top blue border contains city and country images and the bottom green border is intended to evoke growth, nature and wellness.

Finishing second was an option called “Flying Our Colors,” which was based on the state flag.

The rural theme of “The Great

Wide Open” finished last.

Sharp social media criticism greeted the three options. Their designer said in response that

she was artistically hamstrung by law enforcement considerations.

The state plans to begin issuing the new plates next year.

Iowa plant manager wants to convert food waste into fuel MUSCATINE (AP) — An eastern Iowa city is working to become the first in the state to convert food waste from restaurants, groceries and homes into renewable fuel for vehicles.

Muscatine Water Pollution Control Director Jon Koch has been working to implement a system in the city since 2012.

Koch said many locations in Europe, California and New York have switched to compressed natural gas to help with

full landfills and high gas prices. About 40 percent of food in the U.S. goes to a landfill.

“Heinz estimates it puts about 10 to 15 tons of waste a day into the landfill, and that’s mostly packaged material,” Koch said. “But all that ketchup and material is perfect to make gas in our digesters.”

The Water Pollution Control Plant installed waste digesters in 2010.

The digesters already produce methane gas which

could be turned into clean-burning fuel, Koch said.

“Methane gas is 20 times more damaging as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide,” Koch said. “So by capturing that methane and using it for something good, we’re actually helping to reduce greenhouse gases, as well.”

A new machine would be used to separate packaging materials from food. The organic material would then be convert-

ed into gas which could be used to fuel public transportation buses, semitrucks and police cars.

Koch hopes construction on the machine will begin within the next year. The plant has spent about $200,000 on the project so far and estimates the total cost could reach as much as $3 million.

“Right now, everybody pays more for gas than we do, but I’m not confident that’s going to last,” he said.

DM city bus service to unveil new ticketing app DES MOINES (AP) — Des Moines’ city bus service is going high tech.

The Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority, or DART, is unveiling a new mobile ticketing app to be available later this fall and will include a new fare policy.

The new policy includes a $4

day pass valid on all local and express service. Also, riders can purchase rolling-period passes that would include a seven-day pass and 31-day pass good from the time they are activated for a determined number of days before expiring.

One-way ticket purchases will

remain activated for two hours per ticket, eliminating the need for paper transfer slips.

DART is hold two public hearings on the changes. The first is Tuesday at DART’s central station. The other is Aug. 28 at the Polk County Northside Community Center.

‘A primal experience’: Americans dazzled by solar eclipse

By Marcia Dunn AP Aerospace Writer The stars came out in the middle of the day, zoo animals ran in agitated circles, crickets chirped, birds fell silent and a chilly darkness settled upon the land Monday as the U.S. witnessed its first full-blown, coast-to-coast solar eclipse since World War I. Millions of Americans gazed in wonder at the cosmic spectacle, with the best seats along the so-called path of totality that raced 2,600 miles across the continent from Oregon to South Carolina.

“It was a very primal experience,” Julie Vigeland, of Portland, Oregon, said after she was moved to tears by the sight of the sun reduced to a silvery ring of light in Salem.

It took 90 minutes for the shadow of the moon to travel across the country. Along that path, the moon blotted out the midday sun for about two wondrous minutes at any one place, eliciting oohs, aahs, whoops and shouts from people gathered in stadiums,

parks and backyards.

It was, by all accounts, the most-observed and most-photographed eclipse in history, documented by satellites and high-altitude balloons and watched on Earth through telescopes, cameras and cardboard-frame protective eyeglasses.

In Boise, Idaho, where

the sun was more than 99 percent blocked, the street lights flicked on briefly, while in Nashville, Tenn., people craned their necks at the sky and knocked back longneck beers at Nudie’s Honky Tonk bar.

Passengers aboard a cruise ship in the Caribbean watched it unfold as Bonnie Tyler sang

her 1983 hit “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”

Several minor-league baseball teams — one of them, the Columbia Fireflies, outfitted for the day in glow-in-thedark jerseys — briefly suspended play.

At the White House, despite all the warnings from experts about the risk of eye damage, President Donald Trump took off his eclipse glasses and looked directly at the sun.

The path of totality, where the sun was 100 percent obscured by the moon, was just 60 to 70 miles wide. But the rest of North America was treated to a partial eclipse, as were Central America and the upper reaches of South America.

Skies were clear along most of the route, to the relief of those who feared cloud cover would spoil the moment.

“Oh, God, oh, that was amazing,” said Joe Dellinger, a Houston man who set up a telescope on the Capitol lawn in Jefferson City, Mo. “That was better than any photo.”

For the youngest observers,

it seemed like magic.

“It’s really, really, really, really awesome,” said 9-year-old Cami Smith as she gazed at the fully eclipsed sun in Beverly Beach, Ore. NASA reported 4.4 million people were watching its TV coverage midway through the eclipse, the biggest livestream event in the space agency’s history.

“It can be religious. It makes you feel insignificant, like you’re just a speck in the whole scheme of things,” said veteran eclipse-watcher Mike O’Leary of San Diego, who set up his camera along with among hundreds of other amateur astronomers in Casper, Wy. John Hays drove up from Bishop, California, for the total eclipse in Salem, Ore., and said the experience will stay with him forever.

“That silvery ring is so hypnotic and mesmerizing, it does remind you of wizardry or like magic,” he said.

More than one parent was amazed to see teenagers actually look up from their cellphones.

Trump vows continued fight in Afghanistan; reversing stance WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — Reversing his past calls for a speedy exit, President Donald Trump recommitted the United States to the 16-year-old war in Afghanistan, declaring U.S. troops must “fight to win.” He pointedly declined to disclose how many more troops will be dispatched to wage America’s longest war.

In a prime-time address to unveil his new

Afghanistan strategy, Trump said Monday the U.S. would shift away from a “time-based” approach, instead linking its assistance to results and to cooperation from the beleaguered Afghan government, Pakistan and others. He insisted it would be a “regional” strategy that addressed the roles played by other South Asian nations — especially Pakistan’s harboring of elements

&

of the Taliban.

“America will work with the Afghan government as long as we see determination and progress,” Trump said.

“However, our commitment is not unlimited, and our support is not a blank check.”

Still, Trump offered few details about how progress would be measured.

Nor did he explain how his approach would differ substantively from

L E A R N

P R E V E N T

C O R O N A RY A R T E RY D I S E A S E

what two presidents before him tried unsuccessfully over the past 16 years.

Although Trump insisted he would “not talk about numbers of troops” or telegraph military moves in advance, he hinted that he’d embraced the Pentagon’s proposal to boost troop numbers by nearly 4,000, augmenting the roughly 8,400 Americans there now.

Before becoming a candidate, Trump had ardently argued for a quick withdrawal from Afghanistan, calling the war a massive waste of U.S. “blood and treasure” and declaring on Twitter, “Let’s get out!” Seven months into his presidency, he said Monday night that though his “original instinct was to pull out,” he’d since determined that approach could cre-

ate a vacuum that terrorists including al-Qaida and the Islamic State would “instantly fill.”

“We will ask our NATO allies and global partners to support our new strategy, with additional troop and funding increases in line with our own. We are confident they will,” Trump said in comments echoed by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926.

Baseball fans flock to minor league stadiums to see eclipse​ LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Baseball fans in more than a half-dozen cities from Oregon to South Carolina crowded into minor league ballparks Monday to watch the solar eclipse at game-day viewing parties.

The Lincoln Saltdogs wore special black-and-white jerseys and stopped their game just before 1 p.m. to watch the eclipse darken the sky. Spectators erupted in applause at 1:02 p.m. as the moon crawled in front of the sun until the whole sky looked like a late-evening sunset. The air turned chilly and went still.

“It made me all teary-eyed,” said Robyn Mason, who watched with her husband, Greg, from a grassy embankment near the third base outfield. “It was just so momentous. Just really cool — and very pretty.”

Other teams hosting events included the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes in Oregon, the Idaho Falls Chukars, the Bowling Green Hot Rods in Kentucky, Tennessee’s Nashville Sounds and the Greenville Drive, Columbia Fireflies and Charleston RiverDogs, all in South Carolina.

The Volcanoes’ game against the Hillsboro Hops

started late because the Hops got stuck in traffic. The game stopped briefly in the first inning as fans and players paused to watch the eclipse.

Many players donned disposable protective glasses and sat in the grass in front of each dugout. At one point, the sellout crowd chanted, “Let’s go science!”

In Nebraska, the Saltdogs sold game tickets to buyers from as far away as the United Kingdom and Germany, team spokesman Michael Shively

said.

One of the Germans was Theo Kleinfeld, 65, who flew to Lincoln last week so he could photograph the eclipse at the Saltdogs’ game against the Gary Southshore Railcats.

Kleinfeld said he watched the 1999 eclipse that crossed Germany and traveled to Shanghai for another in 2009.

But in Shanghai, he said, the sky was overcast.

“This is a good opportunity,” Kleinfeld said as he set up his camera outside Saltdogs

Stadium. “If it doesn’t work today, I’ll just have to come back in 2024,” when the next total solar eclipse in the U.S. will occur.

Paul Kobs, 38, of Minneapolis, took a day off work and drove to Lincoln with his girlfriend. The couple started planning the trip three months ago and picked Lincoln because it was one of the places closest to their home to see the eclipse.

Kobs said they initially planned to drive down to Beatrice, Nebraska, where eclipse viewers gathered at the Homestead National Monument, but the cloudy forecast for that area persuaded him to stay in Lincoln.

“This was really the easiest place to get to that was in the path of the totality,” he said as he walked into the Lincoln stadium. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event — that minute and a half of experiencing something out of this world.”

Jordan Wilson and his wife, Nicole, brought their 5-yearold son, Izayah, to the game to see the eclipse. On the way down from their home in Omaha, the family sat through bumper-to-bumper traffic on Interstate 80.

“It’s probably the last full

eclipse we’ll see in our lifetimes,” he said.

In South Carolina, the Columbia Fireflies celebrated a “Total Eclipse of the Park” event as they hosted the Rome Braves. The Fireflies wore special glow-in-the-dark jerseys that were scheduled to be auctioned after the game, with proceeds benefiting local science, technology, math and engineering programs.

No Major League Baseball games were scheduled to coincide with the event, but the eclipse caught the interest of teams from other sports preparing for their season openers.

“It was pretty cool to be out there with the rest of the team, looking like 9 o’ clock at night at 1:30,” said Tennessee Titans linebacker Derrick Morgan , who watched after a practice.

Ohio State defensive tackle Tracy Sprinkle said he and his teammates were all excited to see the eclipse. “We’ve been talking about it in the locker room,” he said.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers tweeted out their practice play list for the day, with songs ranging from “Black Hole Sun” to “Dancing in the Dark” and “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”

Umpires end protest, will meet with MLB Commish NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball umpires have ended their protest of what t h e y called “abusive player behavior” after C o m missionKinsler er Rob Manfred offered to meet with their union’s governing board.

Most umpires wore white wristbands during Saturday’s games after Detroit second baseman Ian Kinsler was fined but not suspended for his recent verbal tirade against ump Angel Hernandez.

Kinsler said Tuesday that Hernandez was a bad umpire and “just needs to go away.”

The World Umpires Association announced Sunday in a series of tweets that Manfred had proposed a meeting to discuss its concerns.

“To demonstrate our good faith, MLB Umpires will remove the protest white wrist bands pending the requested meeting,” the organization posted on Twitter.

Kinsler was ejected

by Hernandez last Monday in Texas after being called out on strikes.

The next day, Kinsler sharply criticized Hernandez, saying the umpire was “messing” with games “blatantly.”

“No, I’m surprised at how bad an umpire he is. ... I don’t know how, for as many years he’s been in the league, that he can be that bad. He needs to re-evaluate his career choice, he really does. Bottom line,” Kinsler said.

Kinsler was fined, but the umpires’ union felt he should have been suspended.

“The Office of the Commissioner’s lenient treatment to abusive player behavior sends the wrong message to players and managers.

It’s ‘open season’ on umpires, and that’s bad for the game,” the WUA said in a release on Saturday.

Kenseth puts on brave face as he’s being shown the door

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — It could have gotten very uncomfortable as Erik Jones and Matt Kenseth sat side-by-side shortly after an intriguing race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Both drivers wanted to win for very different reasons, both came up short , then circumstances put them together in a post-race news conference.

Jones, the rookie, was seeking his first Cup Series victory Saturday night. He wound up second to Kyle Busch, his soonto-be teammate at Joe Gibbs Racing. He started from the pole, led the most laps, and really needed that win to lock him into NASCAR’s playoffs.

Kenseth hasn’t won a Cup race in a little over a year and also could use an automatic berth into the playoffs. And, he’s on his way out at Gibbs — perhaps even NASCAR altogether — because Jones has been hired to drive Kenseth’s car next year.

So when Jones used his bumper to knock Kenseth out of the preferred driving lane at Bristol, a move that took Kenseth from contention to a fourth-place finish, things could been very awkward after the race.

But Kenseth smiled, cracked jokes, ribbed Jones a little bit and assured everyone that everything is just fine.

“I don’t really have anything to be unhappy about,” he said. “Things can turn on dime. But my life couldn’t be much better.

I’ve never really been in a better place. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier. There’s more to life than racing.”

Indeed, there is a lot more ahead for Kenseth, a father of four who turned 45 in March. His choices are just limited because of the rapid changing of the guard in NASCAR. Almost overnight, the veterans are being squeezed out of the Cup Series because of the difficult economic climate in racing.

Sponsors are very hard to come by, almost every driver needs to find some sort of his funding on his own, and corporate America’s current appetite is to back the young kids just breaking into the sport.

That’s fantastic news for car owners, who don’t have to shell out millions in driver salary to a veteran. Kenseth, a twotime Daytona 500 winner and former Cup champion, makes a lot of money. Jones, at just 21 years old, draws a fraction of Kenseth’s salary.

So even though he wants to keep driving, is a proven winner, still challenges for victories and is an asset to any race team, there may not be a seat for Kenseth next

NASCAR Photo Matt Kenseth, driver of the No. 20 DEWALT/Flexvolt Toyota, stands by his car during practice for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday in Bristol, Tennessee.

year. On Saturday night, his use of past tense in discussing his situation, made it sound as if Kenseth knows his days as a full-time driver will end after these final 12 races.

“I wish it kind of maybe would have went down a different way or maybe I had another year or two there,” he said. “That’s not the way it worked out. I think everything happens or doesn’t happen for a reason. It will all become clear.”

Kenseth is far from alone in this predicament.

Stewart-Haas Racing did not pick up the 2018 option for Daytona 500 winner Kurt Busch, and his future with the team will depend on sponsorship. Same goes for Danica Patrick at SHR. Kasey Kahne is looking for a landing spot after Hendrick Motorsports said he’ll be replaced by 19-year-old William Byron, and the ride Jones currently drives for Furniture Row Racing? Well, that could vanish unless one of those free agents can piece together a sponsorship package that makes it economically viable to keep the car running.

Even then, a veteran driver must ask

Alabama starts atop AP poll for second straight year

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press No need to overthink it: Alabama is No. 1 in the AP preseason Top 25.

The Crimson Tide became the first program in 12 years to take the top spot in The Associated Press preseason media poll two straight years, and will start the season ranked in the top five for the ninth consecutive time.

Coach Nick Saban’s program has become the surest thing in sports these days.

The Tide does not always win the national championship — just half the time over the last eight years — but is always in contention. Since 2008, only once has Alabama lost more than one game before bowl season.

The Crimson Tide received 52 of 61 first-place votes from media members in the poll released Monday. Ohio State was No. 2, edging No. 3 Florida State and preventing the first 1 vs. 2 opening game since the preseason poll began in 1950.

Alabama opens the season against the Seminoles in Atlanta on Sept. 2, just the fourth opener involving topfive teams and the first pitting teams ranked in the preseason top three.

Southern California, which finished last season on a ninegame winning streak and No. 3 in the country, starts at No. 4.

Defending national champion Clemson begins the post-Deshaun Watson era at No. 5.

Florida State received four first-place votes, Ohio State got three and USC two.

The one bit of bad news for Alabama? The Tide has failed to win the national championship the three previous times it was preseason No. 1 under Saban. The last team to start and finish No. 1 was USC in 2004, and the Trojans were ranked No. 1 the following season — the last team to do it before this year.

Tide Wave Alabama’s remarkable run under Saban has the Crimson Tide climbing toward all sorts of AP poll milestones. This is the sixth time the Tide has been preseason No. 1, tied for fifth most.

Alabama’s streak of nine straight top-five preseason rankings is second only to Florida State, which had a run of 11 straight seasons starting in the top-five under former coach Bobby Bowden.

We’re No. 2 Ohio State is No. 2 in the preseason poll for the eighth time, one behind Oklahoma for most times starting the season second.

Where is this Going?

The goal of the preseason Top 25 is not necessarily to predict the outcome of the season as much as it is to give a snapshot of consensus heading into it.

The voters take an educated guess and then go where results take them.

Still, comparing the preseason poll with the final rankings in previous years can give some idea of how much change to expect.

himself if its financially worth it to keep racing at a drastically reduced salary.

When Juan Pablo Montoya was let go from Chip Ganassi Racing at the end of the 2013 season, the only offers he received in NASCAR were losing propositions. By the time he subtracted his expenses from the proposed salary, those 38 weekends on the road were going to put him at a financial loss for the season.

Four years later, the economic correction in NASCAR is now hitting everyone.

The wads of money that used to be flying around the garage are gone, and everyone is evaluating their options.

For a driver such as Jones, well, that means racing for wins even if it means bumping the guy you are replacing.

“I think when you’re out there, you just see, it’s just another car to pass,” Jones said. “At least I’d assume that’s how most people look at it. That’s how I look at it.

You race everybody, your teammates, you race them like teammates for the first 300, 400 laps. When it comes down to the last 100, 150, it’s time to go. You’re just racing everybody for the next spot.”

On and off the track.

This arrangement of Mars and Saturn speaks to how closely linked our experience is to our expectations; if they’re unreasonably high we can only be disappointed. For a more beautiful experience, don’t expect beauty. Instead, assume the day will be rather ordinary without your keen observation, brilliant interpretation and creative drive.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 22). Many small matters will be cleared up right at the top of this solar return, and you’ll soon realize that you wield a transformational power. You will heal the ailing parts of your life with your heart, not your head. Your compassion

and warmth will melt away the obstacles blocking your progress and happiness. Cancer and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 44, 48, 20 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

People who make you feel small while making themselves feel big are, of course, toxic for you to be around. If you can’t stay away altogether, at least minimize your exposure. Firm boundaries will be key.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Not every day, but certainly today, it will be far more important to take care of the practical matters than to concern yourself with the

computers have evolved to incorporate illogical turns to serve the very human need for surprises and fun. A touch of irrationality will bring magic to your world.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Remember when you felt helpless? If you could have only known that help was on its way, how much easier the moment would have passed.

Remember the lesson. Trust that there are forces on your side.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll be energized by a steady and deliberate learning process. There is nothing more exciting to do with this day than to move from ignorance to knowledge on a subject that interests you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’re in a mood to bounce around ideas -- your favorite way to learn. While bandying about intellectual and philosophical concepts, keep in mind that not everyone likes to debate. Choose your company carefully.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You are who you are because of what you’ve experienced. It’s why you keep putting yourself in the mix, taking risks and making efforts: You’re brave. Courage is a lifestyle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you have to turn it into a competition, make yourself the opponent. The only nobility worth striving for is the kind

where you top your finest effort thus far.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). With so many people looking for somewhere to pass the blame, it’s important to note that blame never solves anything. It gets better once someone starts taking responsibility for it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Perhaps it seems counterintuitive that you would be in a position to teach what you don’t know, yet it happens all of the time. The added pressure of having to present information will make you learn superquickly.
