Proposed $15 Million seed retailer, distributor coming to Colfax

Facility expected to employ 50 workers

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — Plans for a $15 million, 90,000-square-foot agricultural seed retail and distribution center in Colfax were announced Monday by the Jasper County Economic Development Company. The Beck’s Hybrid corn seed retail and distribution center is expected to bring 50 jobs to the town of 2,093.

According to the company

website, Beck’s is the largest family-owned retail seed company in the U.S. with locations in eight states.

JEDCO Director Chaz Allen revealed the project details Monday in a press release after several months of negotiations with owners to bring Beck’s to Colfax.

Micah Pickering, born to mom at 22 weeks, was featured in NY Times

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Micah Pickering enjoys playing with his toys, spending time with his family and watching a movie that includes a snowman who

likes warm hugs. In short, he’s an average Newton 2-year-old boy.

Nothing about the start of Micah’s life was average, however, and his premature birth at 22 weeks and four days is the main reason he’s been in the spotlight

lately. Micah was born and treated at the University of Iowa Hospitals in Iowa City, and after his doctor was interviewed by the New England Journal of Medicine for a story on the topic, the New York Times interviewed and photographed him with his mother, Danielle, in Newton for a story about premature births.

GRINNELL — When the Iowa Transportation Museum held its second anniversary event Friday, six men were inducted as “transportation heroes.” Two of those heroes have strong ties to Jasper County.

Earl Johnson of Newton, who was manager of the Newton airport and filled many other aviation roles for many years, is part of the 2015 class. Also inducted was Ray Albee, Jr. of Lynnville, a fuel truck driver who drove more than three million miles without a single accident in a 40-year career.

Also inducted were engineer Ken Bucklin; the late firefighter and bus driver William “Porky” DenHartog; the late driving instructor, Wallace Winkie and the late Ralph Ogan, a Grinnell police officer who was killed in the line of duty.

Allen relished the opportunity to learn more from the men who were honored, and all the years of experience and dedication in pioneering the Iowa we know today.

State Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Iowa) spoke briefly at the event.

“They deserve all the

honors they’re getting,” Allen said. “This is a fun event, and you try to have something funny to say about each guy, but then your read through their accomplishments, and this is serious stuff, like hauling fuel.”

Johnson is credited with helping connect the Maytag corporation with the rest of the world in the aviation realm. He took over as the fixed base operator / airport manager in Newton in October of 1949, and renamed Smith Aviation to Johnson Aviation.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Johnson said in describing the ceremony. “It was wonderful.”

Johnson was also a pilot for many years, and set a high standard in the fixed-base operator and corporate aviation industry throughout central Iowa. He was honored as a pioneer in the industry by the Iowa Aviation Museum in Greenfield, Iowa in 2014.

Johnson said even though things were rough and more dangerous in the early postWorld War II era, he knows people in aviation were creating something special.

Block Party planned to kick off Hometown Rewards Program

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News To kick off the Hometown Rewards Program from Alliant Energy and Black Hills Energy, a block party is being held in conjunction with the City of Newton beginning at 6 p.m.

Thursday complete with food, entertainment and energy-efficiency tips from company officials at the DMACC campus lawn, 600 N. Second Ave. W. The band Slipstream will perform a free concert until dusk when the movie “Back to the Future” will be shown under the stars. Newton was awarded more than $80,000 when it became a part of the program to educate and inform residents about energy efficiency and conservation in the home.

“The idea for the block party is a part of our set objectives for the Hometown Rewards

Program offered through Alliant Energy and Black Hills Energy. We want people to know about our presence in the community,” Hometown Rewards Community Coordinator Jackie Boat said.

There will activities for all ages beginning with food from Ergenbright Motorsport Concessions and Dominos. For the kids, there will be three different inflatables including a bounce house, gladiator game and obstacle course.

“We also have energy education stations which include a pedal powered generator that lights up three different kinds of lightbulbs, a solar oven for baking cookies and a kilowatt meter to show how much energy everyday household items use and ways to reduce our energy usage,” Boat said.

Officials from both companies will be on hand giving out free energy efficiency tools

such as water pipe insulation, low flow shower heads and LED lightbulbs. There will be a drawing for a $500 personalized home weatherization to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs in the home. A grand prize drawing for a high efficiency washer and dryer set will be done during the prize drawings at 8 p.m.

“By replacing all of your lightbulbs with LEDs you can reduce your energy usage for lighting by 80 percent and they can also last for more than 20 years,” Boat said.

In the event of rain, the block party will be moved to the Newton YMCA, 1701 S. Eighth Ave. E.

Newton businesses now have access to an innovative tool made available through Jeff Maki of Clemon-Maki Insurance that could potentially save them thousands of dollars in annual health insurance costs.

A clause in the Affordable Care Act is a 40 percent excise tax, dubbed a Cadillac tax, that penalizes employers that offer high cost health plans to workers.

The tax was meant to discourage people from choosing costly insurance coverage that increase health prices.

The new tax calculator, being provided by Clemon-Maki Insurance, was designed to be used with employers to ensure they see the possible repercussions of the Cadillac tax. The Cadillac Tax Calculator enables businesses to forecast the added expense of their health insurance plans annually once the tax is implemented and to develop long-term benefit strategies to avoid the tax.

“Even though the Cadillac tax does not take effect until 2018, it is vital that all businesses currently offering health insurance benefits analyze their potential liability now so they can create strategies to lower their costs and avoid the tax. The Cadillac Tax Calculator is the perfect tool to do just that,” Maki said.

For more information on the Cadillac Tax Calculator or for help on formulating a strategy to prepare for the implementation of the tax, contact Maki at 641-792-5040.

Local News Pickering Continued from Page 1A That led to the Pickerings being contacted by the Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life nonprofit, and they were even mentioned by a Congresswoman during a House-floor debate in Washington, D.C. on HR 36, or the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The bill that will move the latest date an abortion will be allowed from 24 to 20 weeks into a pregnancy. It was passed by the House last week, and has moved on to the Senate.

Danielle and her husband, Clayton, the pastor at Newton Baptist Temple, both describe Micah’s development into a fairly healthy child as “miraculous,” and is all the evidence they need that even at 22 weeks, a young life is flourishing. Danielle is still getting

a handle on her newfound notoriety, but Micah, who turns 3 on July 25 seems to take it in stride.

“I’ve become sort of a spokesman,” Danielle said.

“But Micah continues to do well in many ways. He does have some things like chronic lung disease, so if gets sick, he needs a nebulizer; if he gets real sick, he goes to the hospital. But he has amazed us — considering he was born 18 weeks premature.”

Danielle about is eight months pregnant with the couple’s second child — a girl — so she probably won’t be flying around the country any time soon. However, The Pickerings were in the process of selling their home in Pleasant Plain, Iowa, when they were dealing with the early months of Micah’s life.

They didn’t bring him home from the University of Iowa Hospitals for 55 days, and had

to wait for his bones and other tissue to form before they could pick him up normally. Micah was also on oxygen when he came home; his lungs were formed at 22 weeks, but couldn’t really inflate and deflate right away.

“There were ways his body was still developing,” Danielle said. “For example, when he was born, his ribs were still cartilage — the ribs hadn’t solidified yet.”

Both parents said they’re grateful to all the staff at the University of Iowa facility, and said he knows not all places have hospitals with all the neonatal intensive care resources found in Iowa City.

“It helps that the hospital is a teaching center,” she said.

Clayton said he knows a large number of premature babies don’t survive, and he feels some divine intervention helped put Micah and his family in a situation to get quality

medical care. He also said the way Micah was able to intensely squeeze his parents’ fingers in those first hospital days — despite being hooked up to machines — was a strong message about his son’s will to live.

“If we can help tell his story and save even a handful of lives, that will be worth it,” Clayton said.

His wife is due to deliver Micah’s little sister on June 21 — Father’s Day. Danielle said she really didn’t “show” with Micah — a November baby who arrived in July. Eight months of pregnancy has felt longer to her than it might to most women, having gone only about six months with Micah, so she’s trying to take in the experience of a fullterm pregnancy for the first time.

Danielle said she’s been told the Senate’s process with HR 36 could take a while, so after her daughter is born, she’ll be

following the bill closely.

The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act was passed by the House by a 242184 margin, with voting heavily split along party lines. U.S. Rep Vicky Hartzler (R-Missouri) described the Pickerings while speaking on the House floor, complete with a poster-size portrait of the family, saying Danielle was told Micah didn’t have much chance for a healthy life, yet he is reasonably healthy today.

Rep. Dave Loebsack, the lone Democrat among Iowa’s four U.S. representatives, was the only representative from the state to vote against it.

“I bet that if Micah could have gone up to everyone who opposes the bill and gave them a big hug, he could change all of their minds,” Danielle said.

five-year property tax abatement in exchange for the $15 million economic investment.

If approved by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors, Becks will receive a 75 percent abatement the first year, 60 percent in year-two, 45 percent the third year, 30 percent the fourth year and 15 percent the fifth year. The City of Colfax is in talks to annex the property — proposed for construction on what is currently an 80-acre farm field north of Interstate 80 and west of the Colfax Microtel Inn & Suites. The city would then accept responsibility for the property tax abatement. After the tax incentive expires, Becks will pay a full taxable base to the city.

Allen requested Monday that the supervisors amend its Tuesday regular meeting agenda to include a resolution to offer a $20,000 forgivable loan to Beck’s Hybrid and a second zero-percent interest, five-year $20,000 loan to be used for initial development.

Allen said the Iowa Economic Development Authority is also expected to extend further tax incentives to Beck’s but the details of state-level negotiations were not completed as of press time Monday.

“This is only going to cost Jasper County $20,000 to get $15 million in taxable base. That’s pretty good,” Allen said.

If the deal goes through, Allen said Beck’s intends to purchase the land by June with groundbreaking in August. The company hopes to begin foundation work in September, begin construction of the building in October with a tentative movein date of June 2016.

Albee said he drove during an era when Iowa not only didn’t have today’s modern road construction and snow-removal tech-

nology, but also had things like curbed highways, forcing wide trucks to drive with the right side of the truck up off the roadway.

He said others in town looked to see if fuel trucks headed out on the highway to brave the weather, and based decisions on truck drivers’ choices.

Start the Press

The next generation of journalists

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | May 18, 2015

After I graduated from college I sold shoes for an upscale department store — for one week.

One of my college buddies got me the job, for which I was grateful. While she had made a decent living off commission throughout college, I quickly realized I wasn’t cut out for this type of retail, even temporarily. I don’t mind my feet, but other people’s feet — ew.

Also, it was a requirement to wear pantyhose and that was kind of a deal breaker for me.

Needless to say, I was thrilled when an opportunity came up to use my journalism degree and as a reporter at a community newspaper in Marengo. There were so many lessons learned and friendships made during my two years working for the Marengo Publishing Company.

As a recent college grad, I was enjoying my newfound independence as a member of the workforce. I was applying the knowledge I learned in college and cutting my teeth as a cub reporter. I always hated being called that, but it’s exactly what I was. I

had great successes and great failures. My worst regret still remains misspelling the name of a popular principal in a news article, 18 times consistently.

It happens. Reporters aren’t perfect and everyone makes mistakes at their job. So while we remain committed to perfection, we know it’s not always going to pan out. When I penned a column to explain this unfortunate error and sent it to my favorite college professor, she began using it as part of her Reporting 101 class. I like to think my error helped multitudes of young journalists.

I met many influential people at that job. Sheriff Slockett, who preferred to share incident reports by reading them aloud to me during a weekly meeting, also tipped me off to one of my favorite all-time stories — a jailhouse wedding. I can still remember his quote, “Ain’t love grand?”

I also grew fond of all of the members of the Iowa County Board of Supervisors. When you spend every Friday with a board and also sit through two years

worth of budget meetings, you begin to grasp the tremendous responsibility of these boards.

Those first two years out of college have been on my mind lately. The people that took the time to coach me, and further my career still remain great influences to this day.

I’ve also been thinking about the young journalists I’ve had the pleasure of working with. There’s my favorite — a young man who started working for me when he was still in high school and then did two back-to-back summer internships with me. As it turned out he ended up becoming a good friend and I can still get him to help me out if I’m in a pinch, or when I want someone to proof my column on a Sunday.

It’s also been rewarding to work with a couple of young ladies from my alma mater, a high school student who just earned an Iowa Newspaper Foundation scholarship and just recently a great kid from Central College who just completed his internship at the Newton Daily News.

Next up, I’m excited to work with an impressive young lady from Newton High School who is not only a reporter on the school newspaper, but a member of the National Honor Society.

If you read the education page in Friday’s Newton Daily News you saw that Savannah Eadens earned a trip to Washington, D.C. this summer to attend a journalism conference where she’ll represent the state of Iowa and is just one of 51 students in the country to receive the full expense-paid honor, which also awards a $1,000 scholarship. We’re all really looking forward to having her in the newsroom.

It’s a privilege to get to have some influence on these aspiring journalists. I’m just hoping that I can help these young students get to where they want to go, and perhaps avoid a stint in a shoe store.

Disobey!

State View

Legislative session in overtime The 2015 Legislative session is officially in overtime. Since lawmakers aren’t getting paid anymore, most go home and wait while house and senate leaders negotiate. I don’t believe this is in your best interests, or the right way to do the job you’ve By Dan Kelley given me. SitIowa ting at home Representative doesn’t help end the gridlock. Therefore, as I’ve done in the past, I’ll be working at the Capitol during the extra weeks. I’m fighting for a balanced state budget which adequately meets the needs of Iowans, particularly kids and seniors. I’m focused on getting bills to the governor’s desk which benefit middle-class income earners.

Here’s where final negotiations stand now — nearly all of the budget plans are on the table. The budget plan agreed to by the Senate majority leaders, Democrats, and the Republican governor is balanced and leaves the state’s savings accounts full at $700 million with an additional $387 million surplus. That’s more than a billion dollars in surplus and reserves.

The House Majority Republicans offered an alternative with steep budget cuts and inade-

quate funding to meet critical needs of Iowans.

Most of the budget differences are in education, which includes resolving the K-12 school funding crisis and keeping higher education affordable for all families. However, there are several important priorities in public safety as well. The plan offered by the House majority for next year will reduce grants for victims of domestic or sexual abuse, hire fewer parole officers to track sex offenders, and reduce access to courthouses, mostly in rural areas.

It’s a frustrating situation when the house majority party refuses to compromise with anyone, including their own Governor.

Last week, there was some debate on one of the largest pieces of the state budget, health and human services.

While gridlock is part of the story here, I’m deeply troubled by the impact the house majority plan has on our most vulnerable Iowans. Their plan means Iowa children with disabilities or brain injuries will have to wait up to two years for services and there will be less support for abused children to rebuild their lives. Their plan will reduce access to health care for thousands of Iowans in rural areas. It would also limit family planning and health care options for women. Their plan is also bad news for Iowa seniors who want a high quality of life.

It makes it more difficult to recruit and train front-line care workers at facilities and doesn’t do nearly enough to protect seniors from abuse at assisted living centers and nursing homes.

I’m happy to report, a bill I’ve been pushing to strengthen middle-class income earners passed the House recently with support from both sides of the aisle. The House voted to create the “Iowa First-Time Homebuyers Savings Account Act.” The bill encourages first time homebuyers to establish accounts to help save for the purchase of a home. The program allows a first time homebuyer to subtract up to $3,000 for a single filer or $6,000 for a couple from individual income taxes for contributions to the account. The bill is estimated to save taxpayers approximately $4.3 million annually once fully implemented. This plan rewards those who plan ahead in purchasing their first home. It will also help boost our steadily improving housing market. I’m particularly please this bill has been approved in the House.

My experience as a REALTOR was helpful in working on this bill. I am hopeful the Senate will pass it and the Governor will sign it. It’s good for Iowa.

Charles Murray, already controversial for writing books on how welfare hurts t h e poor, on ethnic differences in IQ and on (less controv ersial, By John Stossel but my favorite) happiness and good government, has written a new book that argues that it’s time for civil disobedience. Government has become so oppressive, constantly restricting us with new regulations, that our only hope is for some of us to refuse to cooperate.

Murray’s suggestion — laid out in “By the People: Rebuilding Liberty Without Permission,” will make some people nervous. He argues that citizens and companies should start openly defying all but the most useful regulations, essentially ones that forbid assault, theft and fraud.

He writes, “America is no longer the land of the free. We are still free in the sense that Norwegians, Germans and Italians are free. But that’s not what Americans used to mean by freedom.”

He quotes Thomas Jefferson’s observation that a good government is one “which shall restrain men from injuring one another (and) shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits.”

But our government today tries to do much more.

While we try to invent new things, government constantly seeks new ways to control us.

The number of federal crimes on the books is now 50 percent larger than back in 1980 — a time when many people mistakenly thought the U.S. would cut the size of government.

Murray says, correctly, that no ordinary human being — not

even a team of lawyers — can ever be sure how to obey the 810 pages of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 1,024 pages of the Affordable Care Act or 2,300 pages of DoddFrank.

What if we all stopped trying? The government can’t put everyone in jail. Maybe by disobeying enough stupid laws, we can persuade judges that only rules that prevent clear, real harm to individuals should be enforced: “no harm, no foul.”

Law is not always the best indication of what is good behavior. Riots in places such as Ferguson and Baltimore remind us that even cops sometimes behave badly.

No one wants to see law break down so completely that people get hurt, but historian Thaddeus Russell reminds us that many freedoms we take for granted exist not because the government graciously granted liberties to us but because of lawbreakers.

Bootleggers, “robber barons” who did things like transporting ferry passengers in defiance of state-granted monopolies and tea-dumping American revolutionaries ignored laws they opposed.

Sometimes these scofflaws loved liberty more than our revered Founders did.

George Washington led troops against whiskey makers to enforce taxes.

More recently, Uber decided it would ignore some cab regulations.

It’s good that they did because Uber usually offers better and safer service. Today, Uber is probably too popular for government to stamp out.

Edward Snowden knew the legal consequences he’d face for revealing NSA spying on American citizens but did it anyway. I’m not yet sure if he did the right thing, but conservatives and leftists alike should admit that sometimes laws ought to be bent or broken.

Sister getting married opts out of all-inclusive affair

DEAR ABBY: My only sister, “Carolyn,” is getting married in two months. I’m ecstatic for her. She and her girlfriend turned 50 this year, and this is the happiest I have ever seen her. They are perfect together. Carolyn asked me to be her maid of honor and I gladly accepted. I am also decorating for her small wedding and reception.

When I received my wedding invitation last week, I was shocked and saddened. It was addressed to me and my kids only. My significant other, “Greg” (the kids’ father), and I were married for 22 years and divorced three years ago. We have had some tough times but did reconcile. Even though we are divorced, we stayed together and never split households.

I have no idea how to tell Greg. I asked Carolyn if excluding Greg had been an oversight, and she said she would just prefer that he not be there.

I can respect that, and I don’t want to cause any drama or take anything away from her day.

Does this seem appropriate? My feelings are hurt, and I could have used Greg’s help with things. How do I tell him he’s not invited? — IN A WEDDING QUANDARY DEAR QUANDARY: Tell Greg the same way you told me. And after you do, don’t be surprised that the relationship Greg has with Carolyn and her wife will be more distant than it has been.

It’s possible that when you and Greg divorced, she developed a dislike for him that didn’t abate after you reconciled, and it’s sad that she chose this occasion to display it. Personally, I think her choice is one she’ll regret in the future, but neither you nor I can change it.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a high school student, but it’s not easy for me. Studying is hard at home because I just want to goof off after a long day at school.

My grades are OK, but I’m worried

that if this continues they will slip.

Then there’s my eating habits and fitness. My school lunch period starts late in the day, so it’s hard to stay satisfied from breakfast. When I get home, I’m still hungry and eat whatever’s around, not usually healthy. And sitting all day at school doesn’t help my fitness. Recently, I decided to have only a cup of water or soda until dinner, but I’m not sure that’s healthy. Exercising at home doesn’t happen because I’m either goofing off or doing homework.

Finally, there’s my sleep habits. I go to bed at 8 or 9, but I have to wake up at 5 the next morning. How can I have good grades, be fit and be rested while having fun, too? — MULTI-TASKER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR MULTI-TASKER: If you arrive home with low energy, put on some walking shoes and go for a walk/ jog or do some other form of exercise.

When you return home, your mind will be alert. Then, have a piece of fruit with some cheese or a boiled egg. This should hold you until dinner. Water is healthy, and you should be able to drink it in unlimited amounts.

After you have had your snack, get your homework out of the way. If you do, there should be an hour or so in the evening for you to “goof off ” before bedtime without feeling guilty.

1 Officer holds onto loose zebra until owner shows up

ALTOONA — Altoona police say an officer kept a wandering zebra under control until its owner showed up.

Department spokesman Jason Ferguson says officers were sent Saturday morning to check reports of a zebra roaming near Sam Wise Sports Complex. They found it, and Sgt. Royal Nahno-Kerchee held its mane until owner Pat Shannon arrived.

The zebra had wandered away from home less than a mile away after a gate was left open.

false info for housing aid

STORM LAKE — A 26-year-old Storm Lake woman has been accused of lying to get financial aid for housing. Online court records say Tenia Lane-Calhoun was arrested last week on a charge of fraudulent practice.

The Storm Lake Police Department says in a news release that Lane-Calhoun provided false information to a housing agency. The department says that resulted in Lane-Calhoun getting $9,000 in aid.

WILLIAMSBURG — Police say an Ainsworth man shot at a man from Iowa City at a Ramada Inn Hotel east of Williamsburg.

Local media outlets report the man faces attempted murder charges. According to an Iowa County Sheriff ’s Office news release, the 48-year-old man was arrested minutes after shooting at the other man with a 9 mm semi-automatic weapon and missing on Saturday morning. Iowa County Sheriff Rob Rotter said the suspect’s weapon jammed when he tried to shoot again, allowing the other man to escape uninjured.

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News Iowa Speedway season ticket holders and fans were showered with extra benefits for the Wide Opening Weekend at the Iowa Speedway Saturday and Sunday.

During the first race weekend of the season, season ticket holders experienced the Fans With Benefits upgrades offered by the speedway.

Upgrades were randomly selected and distributed to thousands of loyal Iowa Speedway fans, and the upgraded experiences range from tickets to watch the race from a suite, to exclusive meet and greets with VIPs, to vouchers for signature food items from the concession

stands.

There was also a driver red-carpet and special dueling pianos concert on the south concourse Saturday and a the NASCAR XFINITY Series driver’s meeting was held for members in the Newton Club.

“It’s been great. I’ve always wondered what went on at the drivers meeting. It’s fun to see all the drivers in one spot,” season ticket holder Cindy Wirkler said. “It was just a great time to be here.”

Twenty randomly selected season ticket holders were notified by mail of their upgrade to sit with the drivers at the meeting, many of whom had been ticket holders since the first season at the Iowa Speedway.

“We’ve been season

ticket holders since it opened, since day one.

We went to dueling pianos yesterday which was a lot of fun, and this driver’s meeting today. It’s been wonderful. They’ve provided a fun-filled day for all of us and we really enjoy coming out every year,” season ticket holder Sandy Kaput said.

New this year, was the first Kids Q&A which took place at the Drivers Meetings Room in the Mediacom Media Center. It was an unconventional press conference where drivers were grilled with tough questions by children in attendance.

ers. Questions ranged from, “How old are you?” to “Is it scary out there?”

The next race weekend at the Iowa Speed-

way will be June 19-20 with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and USAC Silver Crown Series. The ARCA Series and In-

dyCar race will be July 17-18.

Four inspirational stories lined up for Newton Talks 2 The second edition of Newton Wellness Coalition’s Newton Talks features four stories from four very different people.

Taking place at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Newton Arboretum, the four individuals will share their stories about overcoming diseases, implementing meaningful lifestyle changes and managing health setbacks.

Fred Matthias Matthias has been active his whole life, all 99 years so far. He has always enjoyed biking,

hiking and other outdoor physical activities.

Matthias experienced a fall in February 2013, which gave him a subdural hematoma. After some time in the hospital and Park Centre’s skilled nursing suite, he was recovered enough to complete the National Senior Health and Fitness Day walk in May 2013. He also got back to riding his trike and completed 1,000 miles before Christmas of that same year. Matthias’ advice to others working toward a well life is “do it now — do not put it off.”

Gene Bryant “I’m a guy with two graduate degrees who still wasn’t smart enough to keep from weighing 300 pounds,” Gene Bryant said.

In the last 10 years of Bryant’s time in the ministry, he was burned out and depressed. He sought solace in food, with no regard to its quality or quantity.

Though he said his last pastorate was positive and fulfilling, the pattern continued until after he retired in 2011.

“I told myself that as long as I used an exercise bike, I could keep doing what I was doing (I was to heavy for the treadmill we had then),” Bryant said.

In the spring of 2014, he collapsed while exercising and was taken to Skiff Medical Center.

There, he was diagnosed with dehydration and given fluids. At the same time, a nurse became suspicious and ordered an A1c. His doctor determined that diet and

exercise were called for, with no medication indicated.

“I give my wife much credit for learning new recipes and being my cheerleader as I pursued my goals,” Bryant said.

Porter Hamilton Dr. Hamilton developed an atrial flutter and in trying to determine a prognosis, failed a treadmill cardiac test. That led to an angiogram and discovery of a blockage in his heart. He had a stint placed in his heart and began a large lifestyle change including weight loss, diet and exercise.

He has been through the Skiff Cardiac Re-

habilitation program which was a jump start for his lifestyle changes after his cardiac surge was performed. As a local dentist, he wants to continue work and living an active life, enjoying family and feeling better.

As a part of the YMCA’s 22nd annual Senior Health & Fitness Fair, some of the participating speakers will also share their stories to those who attend the fair. The 2015 fair runs from 7:30 to 10 a.m. May 27 at the Newton YMCA, 1701 S. Eighth Ave. E. Contact Jamee A. Pierson at 641-792-3121 ext. 6534 or jpierson@newtondailynews.com

Lawmakers seek to revive measures in ‘kitchen sink’ bill The Associated Press

It is often the last bill passed in the session and attracts last-minute and sometimes controversial amendments on issues that lawmakers hope to get through in the rush to adjournment.

“It gives us one more bite at the apple,” said Sen. Matt McCoy, a Des Moines Democrat, who is trying to revive a bill that would require some businesses to offer more leave benefits to parents of adopted children. “It makes sense to have an opportunity to take a second look at some of those issues.”

DES MOINES — With limited time left before the Iowa Legislative session ends, lawmakers have one more opportunity to revive failed bills — with the legislative equivalent of a hail Mary pass, otherwise known as the standing appropriations bill.

Often dubbed a “Christmas tree” or “kitchen sink,” the standing appropriations bill is a sweeping measure that includes billions in state spending for a variety of purposes across several state agencies.

Storms damage farm buildings, topple train cars DES MOINES (AP) — Strong storms damaged farm buildings across central Iowa, knocked down trees and toppled dozens of empty railcars.

The storms caused damage in Decatur, Clarke, Dallas, Boone and Madison counties as they moved across the state early Sunday morning.

The National Weather Service documented wind damage starting near the Iowa-Missouri border that continued north to Boone County. The damage was consistent with strong winds up to 80 mph.

No major injuries were reported, but many people spent Sunday cleaning up debris the storms left behind.

Some of the most significant damage was reported west of Osceola where empty coal cars were knocked over by wind.

Several farm outbuildings and grain bins were destroyed, farm roofs were damaged and some trees were uprooted.

Rose Brammer, 59, said she couldn’t believe the damage she found when she awoke and saw sheets of metal from a shed hanging in her trees.

“You don’t know what to say at first,” Brammer said. “I just started crying. I was looking at all the devastation.”

Brammer lives near where the BNSF railroad cars were blown off the tracks. She said she’s glad to have so many family and friends nearby to help with the cleanup.

The storms also dropped roughly 2 inches of rain in Ringgold and Humboldt counties.

The Democratic-led Senate approved their version of the bill last week, providing nearly $3 billion in spending, most of that going to basic support for K-12 education.

But a number of policy plans that had won support in the Senate but not in the House were also included, like a measure that would require breast density data in mammogram reports, a retirement incentive program and new policies for schools dealing with bullying.

The bill will now move to the House, where the Republicans in the majority may

have their own modifications.

They have not put out their version of the bill, but in past years, they’ve tried to tack on policies dealing with loosening gun control, for example.

The measure will likely end up in a negotiating committee as lawmakers try to resolve their budget issues and close down the session.

“Realistically, sometimes this is the way that otherwise important policy issues end up getting addressed,” said Gov. Terry Branstad. “It’s one of the reasons I always say, nothing’s dead until the Leg-

islature adjourns.”

Senate minority leader Bill Dix, R-Shell Rock, questioned this practice, saying that for “policy that doesn’t work its way through the process, there should be a really good compelling reason as to why that should be put on to (the standings bill). “ Lawmakers agreed that reviving a policy proposal through this process was a challenge. Even if they can get agreement, the governor could still veto the language.

But many said it was a valid tool to keep ideas alive.

Iowa comic collector teaches classes at community college

By Josh O’Leary Iowa City Press-Citizen IOWA CITY — Jerry Harrington remembers skipping lunch in junior high and making the rounds at the two drug stores in his town to snatch up comic books fresh off the delivery truck.

Growing up on a dairy farm outside of the small northeast Iowa town of Waverly, the serialized superhero tales were his portal to Metropolis, Gotham and beyond.

Now 60, Harrington still gets an extra spring in his step every Wednesday when he heads to his local comic shop — in a single bound, if he could — to pluck the newly

inked DC and Marvel issues from the shelves.

“You wake up in the morning and feel that special joy: It’s comic book day today,” said Harrington recently at his Iowa City home, where he has a room packed wall-to-wall with the more than 20,000 comics he’s amassed since he was a kid.

Harrington has transformed himself from mild-mannered grandfather into college instructor this spring during “The History of American Comic Books,” the course he teaches at Kirkwood Community College in Iowa City as part of the school’s Continuing Education Program.

Harrington taught the four-part class in April and will do so again in June, with his lectures spanning the Golden Age of the 1930s and ‘40s, when Superman debuted in Action Comics, to the Modern Age, which pushed the genre forward with sophisticated narratives such as The Watchmen and The Dark Knight.

“The reason I’m teaching the course is, one, I love to talk about this stuff,” said Harrington, who was a marketing and public relations manager with DuPont Pioneer until retiring a year ago. “And two, it helps modern readers understand the rich legacy of the medi-

um and how it can help you get a greater joy out of reading the current stuff.”

Pat McCauley, 28, of Iowa City, was among Harrington’s students this spring at Kirkwood.

McCauley loves superhero films, and has been involved in an ongoing Marvel tabletop role-playing game with her friends for several years. Harrington’s history class, she said, helped her develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of her favorite stories.

“I’m the kind of person who likes the know the history and as much as I can about something — where these characters started, how they

started, which company started them, and how they became what they are today,” said McCauley, a University of Iowa student who works full time.

Harrington, a Cornell College alum who earned his master’s in history at UI, is a state history buff who contributes to the Iowa History Journal.

Comic books, however, were his first love.

As a kid, Harrington’s aunt worked at a department store in nearby Cedar Falls and would set aside unsold issues for him. He devoured DC’s Superman and Superboy stories, and a few years later, discovered Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s complex Marvel cre-

ations — the Fantastic Four, the Amazing Spiderman and the Incredible Hulk, among others — of the 1960s and ‘70s.

“They were superheroes who didn’t want to be superheroes,” Harrington said of many of the characters created by Lee, whom he describes as part Shakespeare, part huckster. “This was so different than anything else DC had.”

Larry & Diana Ambroson Keep Your Brain Sharp Everyday activities that occupy and stimulate your mind may help slow or prevent mental decline, according to a new study

by Mayo. Researchers discovered that simple yet intellectually engaging activities such as reading, games, computer use and doing crafts (knitting, quilting or other forms of handiwork) were associated with a 30 to 50% drop in the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment.

Experts theorize that these kinds of activities may help to keep brain nerve connections intact and may even create new ones. They may also help reduce stress and have benefits akin to those of meditation.

NHS track athletes head to 2015 state meet

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High will be well represented in Class 4A competition at the 2015 Iowa High School State Track and Field Championships.

There will be Cardinal athletes competing in 11 events in the three-day state track meet in Des Moines.

The state track meet begins Thursday with Class 4A competition starting 2 p.m. at Drake Stadium. Friday events for Class 4A begin at 2 p.m. Running event finals for all class — 4A, 3A, 2A, 1A — begin at 9 a.m. Saturday.

The Cardinal girls qualified three individuals in six events, plus three relay teams. Senior Deonne Harris carries the banner for the Cardinal boys, competing in two hurdle events.

Senior Sarah Kalkhoff is out to defend her 2014 Class 4A state meet title in the discus. She goes in with the second best throw among district qualifiers and she is tied for the second-best throw, 138 feet, 1 inch, in 4A this season.

Although it is Kalkhoff ’s third consecutive trip to the state meet in the discus, it is her first trip to state in the shot put. She placed third at the district meet Thursday, 37-8.5, which landed her in the 15th spot of qualifiers.

Harris has qualified for the third straight year in the 110-meter high hurdles. Harris’ 15.06-second winning time at the district meet is sixth best among qualifiers. Harris still owns the best time among 4A hurdlers for the season at 14.58 seconds.

Harris will compete in a new event at the state meet. He qualified in the 400 low hurdles, running second at the district in 56.90 seconds, which is 10th best among qualifiers.

Grace Coen, a junior, has done it again. For the third consecutive year, Coen has qualified for the state meet in all three distance races — the 800 meters, the 1,500 meters and the 3,000 meters. She placed second in the 3,000 at the district, but was fourth in the other two races.

Her times in the 800 and 1,500 runs placed her eighth among qualifiers in those races and she is 12th going into the state in the 3,000.

Junior Sydney Jenkins goes back to the state meet in the 200-meter dash. She was third at the district meet in 27.69 seconds, which is 24th best.

Jenkins and Coen combined with senior Hailey Coy and freshman Alexis Stout to post a state-qualifying time in the 4x400 relay race.

Freshman Tessa Keeton and junior Kaelee Knoll are the alternates for the relay.

Newton’s distance medley relay team of Coy, Jenkins and juniors Leela Spencer and Alex Hutchinson has the 12th best time among state qualifiers. Coen and freshman Kenna Winther are the alternates.

Stout combined with freshmen Morgan Eide and Liz McVey and junior Fran Lucas for a time of 1 minute, 11.25 seconds in the shuttle hurdle race, which was fifth in the district meet. But it was fast enough to earn an at-large bid for the state meet.

Newton Class 4A State Meet Schdule Thursday 2 p.m. — Girls’ Discus — Kalkhoff 3:20 p.m. — Girls’ 3,000-m run final — Coen 6:20 p.m. — Girls’ 200-m dash preliminary — Jenkins 7:40 p.m. — Girls’ shuttle hurdle relay preliminary — Newton (Stout, McVey, Lucas, Eide) Friday 2 p.m. — Girls’ shot put — Kalkhoff 2:40 p.m. — Girls’ distance medley relay final — Newton (Spencer, Hutchinson, Jenkins, Coy) 3:20 p.m. — Boys’ 110-m high hurdle preliminary — Harris 5 p.m. — 400-m hurdles final — Harris 7 p.m. — 4x400-m relay preliminary — Newton (Stout, Jenkins, Coy, Coen) Saturday 9:50 a.m. — Girls’ 800-m run — Coen 11:10 a.m. — Girls’ shuttle hurdle relay final 12:45 p.m. — Boys’ 110-m hurdle final 1:25 p.m. — Girls’ 200-m dash final 2:15 p.m. — Girls’ 1,500-m run final — Coen 3:35 p.m. — Girls 4x400-m relay final

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Chris Buescher (60) has a lead midway through Sunday’s Xfinity Series 3M 250 in front of Chase Elliott (9) then Elliott grabbed the lead with 30 laps to go. But it was Buescher to the finish line first in a green-white-checkered run at the end to win the race at Iowa Speedway.

Buescher claims dramatic 3M 250 win

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Race drivers know they have to contend with cautions in races.

Over the course of a scheduled 250-lap race being able to take advantage of caution is important to drivers. There were nine cautions in Sunday’s running of the NASCAR Xfinity Series 3M 250 at Iowa Speedway.

The final two cautions — Lap 178 and Lap 250 — set up an intense greenwhite-checkered finish with Chris Buescher in the No. 60 Ford Mustang of Roush Fenway Racing and Chase Elliott in the No. 9 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports battling for the final lead of the race. The two had run at the front of the field for most of the event.

Just a few laps before, Buescher had resigned himself to finishing behind Elliott. Then what needed to happen — happened.

“When the No. 9 (Elliott) car took tires, it was frustrating. We had been running so well all day and to not be able to get the speed out of the car to give him a run for his money until the final caution,” Buescher said.

“When that happened, I knew we had an awesome shot at it. We got a great push from my teammate Darrell Wallace Jr. on the restart, which helped us get rolling and get to the lead.”

Buescher’s fresh tires allowed him to grab the lead on the restart under green.

It was Buescher’s first Xfinity Series win of the season, pushing him into the series points lead by eight points over Ty Dillion.

“We were waiting on that break. We had a good lead then the No. 9 got newer tires, which worked for him. He was able to catch us,” Buescher said following his celebration in Iowa’s Casey’s General Stores Victory Lane. “Scott (Graves, his crew chief ) was telling me to save equipment and we had to see it for what it was. Then it happened right in front of me, I knew under caution I could come in and get tires.”

Just a lap from the checkered flag, Jamie Dick’s car hit the wall and Ross Chastain got tangled up in the incident bringing out a caution. Elliott had taken tires under caution on Lap 178. He stayed out and the rest of the frontrunners, including Buescher went to pit road for tires.

“It was a lot of fun today.

I’m excited about this. That was the old Iowa (track) I’m used to racing on. It widened out a lot more it seemed to me than in previous races,” Buescher said.

“It was cool being able to move around this track like that. It played out the exact way this track was designed to race. That was pretty special.”

Elliott, who led 114 laps in the 259-lap race, finished second. He went to the lead for the final time of Lap 219 getting around Buescher.

“It’s racing. We made a good decision (to come in earlier) because we had some right side damage from getting into the wall.

It was a good move to put on two tires,” Elliott said of the decision to pit under the caution on Lap 178.

Late pass sends McReynolds to win in Casey’s 150

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Seventeen-year-old William Byron led 128 laps at Iowa Speedway during the K&N Pro Series East and West combination race on Saturday.

But 23-year-old Brandon McReynolds was in front during the laps that mattered most.

McReynolds used a late pass off a restart with about 10 laps to go and then held off Byron on another restart to capture the victory in the Casey’s General Stores 150.

It was McReynolds’ first trip to victory lane since winning an ARCA race at Talledega Superspeedway on May 4, 2012.

Mustang boys finish second, advance to district tournament

SPORTS CALENDAR

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PELLA­— The Prairie City-Monroe boys’ golf team survived and will continue its quest to return to the Class 2A boys state golf meet later this month after the Mustangs recorded a runner-up finish at their sectional meet at Bos Landen Golf Course.

Officials had to go to a fifth score though. The Mustangs and host Pella Christian each shot a 350, but PCM advanced with a better fifth score — Ryan Hill’s 92 was the decider.

South Hardin grabbed the top spot in the team standings with a 344. The Tigers also three of the six individual qualifiers.

Spencer Welch of South Hardin was the medalist with an 82 and Pella Christian’s Graham Howerzyl was runner-up with an 83. Four golfers tied with an 85 and each advance as individual qualifiers.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo senior Jimmy Abell won medalist honors by one stroke during a Class 1A sectional meet at Pleasantville Golf Club on Friday. Abell shot a 3-over-par 73 to advance to Thursday’s district meet at Oskaloosa Golf Course.

Colfax-Mingo, L-S’ Trettin advance to district meet

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PLEASANTVILLE — The one constant about Colfax-Mingo’s boys’ golf team this season has been senior Jimmy Abell.

While coach Dave Brahn was trying to figure out what members of the team would compete meet by meet, the one thing he could count on was Abell ending up near the top of the leaderboard.

The Tigerhawks’ one constant rang true Friday at the Class 1A sectional meet at Pleasantville Golf Club. This time though, some of his teammates followed suit.

Abell won another medalist honor with a 3-over-par 73, but the Tigerhawks entire squad advanced to Thursday’s district round with a runner-up team finish.

Lynnville-Sully’s Ben Trettin and Colfax-Mingo’s Brady DeJoode locked up individual top-four finishes as well. Trettin was tied with Abell at even par through nine holes but came in one shot back to earn runner-up honors with a 74. DeJoode was third with a 78 and Pleasantville’s Josh Luna was fourth with an 80.

The top four individuals and top two teams from the Pleasantville sectional advance to districts.

Pleasantville was the overall team champion with a 345. Colfax-Mingo was runner-up with a 352, edging future South Iowa Cedar League foe North Mahaska’s 354.

Wayne was fourth with a 357, Lynnville-Sully came in fifth with a 365, Moravia shot a 383 in sixth and Melcher-Dallas was seventh with a 484. Twin Cedars also played but had just one scoring golfer.

Abell and Trettin both shot an even-par 35 through the first run through of the 9-hole Pleasantville Golf Club course. Neither improved their score the second time through and Abell’s 38 was one shot better.

Abell had seven pars, a bogey and he birdied the par 5 No. 6 through his first nine holes. The second nine presented more of a variety. He had two pars, two double bogeys, two bogeys and Abell birdied the par 5 No. 10, the par 4 No. 13 and the par 5 No. 15.

Trettin had two pars and three bogeys during his first nine. He also

birdied the par 3 No. 3, the par 5 No. 1 and the par 5 No. 6. And just like Abell, the second nine gave him more trouble. He began the set with a birdie on the par 5 No. 10 but then double bogeyed No. 11, and triple bogeyed No. 13. He had a par on No. 12 and then finished the round with five consecutive pars.

DeJoode shot a 41 through the first nine holes but improved his number by four strokes in the final run through to get back into top-four contention. Jake Jeter shot a 96 for the Tigerhawks and Jacob Buehrer had the final counting score of 105.

DeJoode had five pars on each nine-hole round. Through the first nine, he had three bogeys and a triple bogey, but he improved that in the second nine with three bogeys and a birdie on the par 5 No. 15.

After Trettin, L-S got a 95 from Baker Zegers, a 97 from Bayley Morvant and a 99 from Caleb Jansen. Kolten Fisk (100) and Kyle Van Dyk (117) had non-counting scores.

Next up for the qualifiers is the district meet at 10 a.m. Thursday at Oskaloosa Golf Course.

PCM’s Maher wins C-M Invite, Maggard finishes third

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX ­ — Only four area golfers competed in the Colfax-Mingo Girls Invitational on Friday at Colfax Country Club.

While golfers from Prairie City-Monroe and Colfax-Mingo could not be in the running for the team title, the Mustangs and Tigerhawks still found a way to be successful.

PCM’s Breanna Maher and Abby VanHaaften and Colfax-Mingo’s Olivia Maggard all found themselves in the topfive of the individual race.

Maher earned medalist honors once again as she knocked in four pars and finished with a 44, which was seven shots better than runner-up Autumn Vos of Pella Christian. Maggard ended up third with a

53 and VanHaaften was fifth with a 61.

Pella Christian was the only team to register four counting scores. The Eagles finished with a 293. PCM and Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont each had three golfers and Maggard was the lone Tigerhawk on the course Saturday.

PCM’s third golfer was Ellie Steenhoek and she shot a 68 in seventh.

The rain held off for

most of the day, but some golfers played their final hole in inclement weather.

PCM hosts a Class 3A first-round meet at Gateway Recreation Complex at 10 a.m.

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | May 18, 2015 | 3B Sports Reynolds earns medalist honors as Newton wins tourney

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News TAMA — For the second consecutive year, Newton High’s Cardinals captured the South Tama Invitational golf tournament championship.

The NHS girls posted a winning 372 four-player total in Saturday’s 18-hole event.

The tournament was held on the nine-hole Tama-Toledo Country Club golf course, which is a par-35 course.

Leading the way for the Cardinals was Jessica Reynolds with a tournament-low 84. Reynolds collected medalist honors on back-to-back rounds of 42. Runner-up honors went to Claire Ausman of Nevada with an 89.

“Jessica played a relaxed, but focused round of golf Saturday,” said Scott Enyart, Newton head coach.

“She really handled the mental part of the game, playing in the same group as Ausman. Jessica’s chipping was really good the whole day.”

Nevada finished second as a team with a 381. Vinton-Schellburg placed third with a 390 followed by Benton with a 403 and Grinnell with a 4 3 1 .

Host South Tama had just three players in the tournament so did not have a team score.

Newton’s Cydney Hillyard carded a 91 (47-44) and Shelbey Cochran had a 95 (48-47). Enyart said Hillyard had trouble with two of the par-3 holes in her opening nine holes, but regrouped to play those better in the second round. Cochran continued her progress to the top of her game with consistency, he said.

Abby Jolivette shot rounds of 52 and 50 for a 102, battling back from a tough first go-around to improve the second round, Enyart said. Jessie Smith also posted a 102 (51-51) with more pars in her game throughout the day, he said. Emily Fitzgerald finished with a 106 (53-53).

Newton also had Olivia Maharry and Hannah Scotton playing in the

Astrograph

The Mercury retrograde in Gemini will extend the messenger planet’s stay in this realm by several weeks. This is Mercury’s first home and therefore an auspicious place for the retrograde to occur.

Worst-case scenario: The conversation takes unexpected and emotional turns. You can handle this and will even be better for it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 18). You’ll poke your nose in and by June get caught up in a whole new scenario. July brings a promotion. You’ll replace a vice in August. October is the time to explore, add on and be a part of something

important. As Albert Einstein said, “not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.” Scorpio and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 22, 39, 41 and 1.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

In some ways, it feels like you’re still discovering who you are and what you do.

You’ll get a feeling in your gut that you’re ready for more, and you’re pointed in the right direction, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your ambition is to leave the world a better place than it was

before you got here, and you’re doing quite a job of that these days. It’s the small ways that matter most.

own. Furthermore, if you’re having trouble connecting with a loved one, sharing in acts of charity will be bonding.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Your loving friends will advertise your business, praise your character and generally support what you do -- as long as you ask them to. Don’t be afraid to request some help!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll be in charge again. To be the kind leader, don’t tell them how you want them to do it. Just tell them that you want them to do it. Then sit back and watch all the surprises unfold.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The question is: How are you going to get perspective on the situation? It’s not always easy to rise above things. A funny friend will help. Call up the funniest person you know.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Lifting the gloom for another person is the fastest way to banish your

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Everything may seem to ride on one instant. It doesn’t. It rides on a thousand prior instants and a thousand instants after.

So shake off the pressure of the moment and start building up your practice “instants.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Asking questions won’t help unless those questions are very good. Being smart won’t be enough. Keep learning until you’re not only smart, but also wise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People will surprise you with their ingenuity. You will surprise them with even more and different ideas. Together you can create something that will help not only you, but also the generations to come.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Saying what you want to say and then feeling bad about it is a pattern you’d like to stop. And yet, there’s such a release that comes with saying what you want to say. Maybe

you should just drop the part about feeling bad.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Stay relaxed. Be flexible.

When you feel yourself getting tense, take the broad view.

When you are comfortable with yourself, you’ll never be alone.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

What’s absolutely necessary can seem altogether impossible. How are you going to pull this one off? It starts with one phone call and leads to another.

Don’t give up.

Xfinity Continued from Page 1B “We had a super fast car all day, especially on the long runs. We got back to the lead and came up a lap short of the win,” Elliott said.

Elliott, the 2014 Xfinity Series champion, remains third in the series points.

Erik Jones, Brian Scott and Ryan Blaney complete the top five finishers. Darrell Wallace Jr., teammate of Buescher, finished sixth, matching his best finish of the season at Texas Motor Speedway.

Ben Rhodes and Brandon Jones had their Xfinity Series debut at Iowa and both earned top-10s, finish seventh and eighth, respectively.

Rhodes missed his high school graduation because the opportunity he was presented to drive this weekend at Iowa.

Casey’s Continued from Page 1B In four starts this season, Byron has four top10 finishes and three top-fives.

The rest of the topfive Saturday included Ronnie Bassett Jr., Jesse Little and Christopher Bell. JJ Haley, Noag Gragson, Scott Heckert, Kyle Benjamin and Austin Hill rounded out the top 10.

It was the first NASCAR win of McReynolds’ career. And the son of NASCAR on FOX announcer Larry McReynolds did it in 34 career starts.

“I just thank Bill (McAnally) for not firing me,” McReynolds said. “All that pressure, time, bad luck and me making mistakes, it led up to tonight.

“All along, I knew I could drive. I am just glad everyone at the NAPA team continued to believe in me. They could have easily gotten rid of me. It’s a huge confidence builder. And the win was a long time coming.”

Byron, who gets credit for the K&N Pro Series East win, looked like he had the fastest car but blamed his inability to drive through lap traffic as the biggest reason why he couldn’t pull out the win.

“It’s disappointing to come home second, but I am just glad to be here to be honest,” Byron said. “I just want to make impressions. There is a lot to learn out here. It’s important to learn every week. I just want to keep working to get better.”

Byron still leads the East standings by 14 points over Hill and 19 points over Benjamin.

It was the fourth top-10 finish of the season for Hill and the third for Benjamin. Heckert recorded his third top-10 finish of the season and moved into fifth in the standings.

Gragson leads the West standings by four points over Chris Eggleston. McReynolds moves into 10th overall after his second top-10 finish of the season.

Little, whose car had the “Get To Know Newton” logo on the hood,

started 13th but quickly moved up to the front in the first 20 laps. He maintained a top-five position throughout the rest of the race.

Little’s connection with Newton has grown because of the relationship his father has with City of Newton employee Craig Armstrong.

“My dad and Craig Armstrong have always been close,” Little said.

“Craig grew up out on the west coast, and he’s always known my dad.

We have just been able to keep the relationship with the town going and it’s one of my favorite towns to just hang out Troy Hyde/Daily News in and race in.
