Jasper County GOP adjusts to canceled Straw Poll

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

cided the weather forecast posed too great of a risk.

A middle-school-age pool party was held Friday night at Maytag Pool. Saturday, the weather cooperated much more, and attendees were able to make good use out of the festival’s main day. Ridiculous Day business participants were setting up in the early morning hours; dozens of athletes took to the streets on the east edge of Newton for the Birds & the Bees 5k and Newton High School alumni, ranging from 1939 to the 2010s,

After Friday morning’s announcement that Iowa GOP leadership has decided to end the straw poll event, Jasper County Republicans are adjusting, and are going ahead with a similar, smaller-scale poll of their own.

The Associated Press reported Friday that Republican leaders in Iowa agreed to end the state’s straw poll because of waning interest from presidential hopefuls and questions about its relevancy.

Iowa GOP Chairman Jeff Kauffman said state party officials voted during a Friday morning conference Critchfield call to end the straw poll, which began in 1979 and has been held every summer before a contested presidential caucus.

The 2015 event was chosen in March to be held at Central Iowa Expo in Boone in August. Newton’s Iowa Speedway, Des Moines’ Drake University and Iowa State University also submitted bids to host the event.

For years, the straw poll has been considered an early, if unreliable, test of campaigns’ strength. Critics say it has become a costly sideshow, and many candidates fear the humiliation of a poor showing.

Many prominent 2016 GOP hopefuls recently said they would skip the event altogether.

Jasper County Republican Chairman Marshall Critchfield, who tried to help Newton win state party leaders over to host the straw poll earlier this year, said Friday that Iowa will still be a proving ground for presidential candidates.

“While we have one less stop on the road to the White House in Iowa, we will undoubtedly maintain our relevance,” Critchfield said. “The good news is that we still hold the first presidential contest in the nation (the Iowa Caucuses are set for Feb. 1) and I fully expect the Republican Party of Iowa to make that their focus going forward.”

Critchfield said the “Newton Poll” is an event that will help gauge where each major 2016 GOP presidential candidate sits in the minds of Jasper

Search underway for new police chief

Newton artists shine at state sculpture festival

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

The search has begun for a new police chief for the Newton Police Department after the announcement of Police Chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich’s retirement this spring.

At the beginning of June, the city began advertising for the position and has already received several applications, including one internal applicant.

“We started advertising June 1, and it will run through the end of the month,” City Administrator Robert Knabel said.

Knabel said most of the advertising was done in Iowa with two publications that are national, a police chief association publication and an online job search website. He expects most of the applicants to come from Iowa, with a few potentially from the around the Midwest.

There is not a firm number set in mind for how many applicants the city would like to get, but with the recent hiring of a new police chief in Des Moines, Knabel got an idea of what the process might bring.

“If I hadn’t seen what Des Moines had, they had 15 to 18, I would have guessed much higher.

Right now I don’t have a good sense of how many we will have,” Knabel said.

A reason the number might have been lower

There were 27 artists from six states at the 13th annual Iowa Sculpture & Fine Art Festival, held at Des Moines Area Community College Newton Campus Saturday and Sunday.

Fortunately for some Jasper County artists — especially those who were juried into the show for the first time — the show was an excellent opportunity to showcase their talents to a varied audience alongside some of their most respected peers in the Midwest.

This year, the competitive show was held the same weekend as the Newton Fest celebration — a new plaza-centered event designed to bring more visitors into town.

Z Marie’s offers home-cooked meal for those on the go

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News With a passion for cooking and encouragement by friends, Michelle Stalzer decided to take a leap and start her own home cooked meal business, Z Marie’s.

After a year working our of her own home, Stalzer had enough business to open her own shop at 702 E. Third St. S. in Newton.

“I’ve always had a passion for cooking and my parents owned a restaurant when I was young for about seven years, Mason’s Cafe, here in town. I think it has just kind of been a part of me,” Stalzer said. “The last few years I have had several people tell me they enjoyed my food and my cooking and that I should open a place up. Things went so well that I decided to expand.”

Z Marie’s was an idea Stalzer had long before she even realized it. Named for her son Zach, and her daughter Morgan and her own middle name, Stalzer created the business’s family name.

“A long time before I even started cooking I had used it in my head. It was kind of the beginning of the dream and the Z and Marie had a nice ring to it,” Stalzer said.

Utilizing mostly a casserole style of cooking along with a

meat, potato and veggie formula, Stalzer offers a wide menu for customers for lunch and dinner meals, never doing the same meals two months in a row. She requests customers make their order at least a day in advance for shopping purposes and also to reduce waste.

Currently, orders are available on Monday and Wednesday and can be picked up between 3:30 and 6:30 p.m. at her Third Street location. There is no constant delivery service right now but if demand increases she may look into hiring a person specifically to deliver.

“Almost all of my cooking is mama, grandma homestyle cooking. I have some recipes that have been passed down through the years, generations. Some I will look at four or five recipes for the same type of meal and put things together and make them my own,” Stalzer said.

Her most popular dish is fry bread tacos with other favorites including mushroom pork chops with corn and mashed potatoes, chicken and broccoli pasta Alfredo and cheesy baked zitti. Meals come in individual servings from $6 to $9, medium size from $12 to $16 and large sizes ranging from $18 to $26. Medium typically feeds two to three people

and large feeds four to six people family style.

“Sometimes you don’t want to heat your whole oven up or you don’t have time to go to the grocery store, prep everything, get it cooked, get it on the table and eat between work and activities.

Z Marie’s takes that away, no grocery, shopping no prepping, no clean up,” Stalzer said.

A new feature Stalzer hopes to begin providing at the beginning of July are freezer meals to go. She is currently building up her supply of two to three varieties of meals for people to take and bake whenever they choose.

“If somebody had a death in the family, a birth, a surgery, a need that you would like to take a home-cooked meal to somebody but you don’t have the time, I would have prepared meals available in medium and large sizes,” Stalzer said.

Stalzer also would like to someday expand to five days for lunch and four days for dinner, Monday through Thursday. She is also looking to start a small catering business, beginning with events like business luncheons with 30 or fewer people.

The Associated Press WA S H I N G T O N — As many as 14 million current and former civilian U.S. government employees have had their personal information exposed to hackers, according to two people who were briefed on the investigation, a far higher figure than the 4 million the Obama administration initially disclosed.

American officials have said the cybertheft originated in China and that they suspect espionage by the Chinese government, which has denied any involvement.

The newer estimate puts the number of compromised records between 9 million and 14 million going back to the 1980s, said one congressional official and one former US official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because information disclosed in the confidential briefings includes classified details of the investigation.

There are about 2.6 million executive branch civilians, so the majority of the records exposed relate to former employees. Contractor information also has been stolen, officials said.

If the attack was indeed espionage, the personnel records would provide a foreign government an extraordi-

nary roadmap to blackmail, impersonate or otherwise exploit federal employees in an effort to gain access to U.S. secrets —or entry into government computer networks.

The data in question contain the records of most federal civilian employees, though not members of Congress and their staffs, members of the military or staff of the intelligence agencies.

The latest revelation came a day after a major union said it believes the hackers stole personnel data and Social Security numbers for all the federal workers in a central personnel database. The Social Security numbers were not encrypted, the American Federation of Government Employees said, calling that “an abysmal failure on the part of the agency to guard data that has been entrusted to it by the federal workforce.”

Samuel Schumach, an Office of Personnel Management spokesman, would not address how the data was protected or specifics of the information that might have been compromised, but said, “Today’s adversaries are sophisticated enough that encryption alone does not guarantee protection.” OPM is nonetheless increasing its use of encryption, he said.

Straw Poll

Newton Fest

Continued from Page 1A

Continued from Page 1A

County Republicans. It’s a balloting process event that will take place at 7 p.m. June 22 at Bridgehouse Coffee on the county courthouse square. The county’s party leadership decided last week to host the event.

Critchfield said there are about 7,500 registered Republican voters in the county who could all potentially attend the event, and he said he is in regular communication with someone from every major campaign. If there are any presidential hopefuls at smaller events in the months ahead, Critchfield said, it will likely be the lesser-known candidates who makes stops in cities and towns such as Newton.

“In the absence of the straw poll, I assume the higher-polling campaigns will focus on grand rallies with a heavy media presence,” Critchfield said. “ I would expect the lesser-known candidates to hit the coffee-shop circuit and go heavy on social media.”

Choosing Newton as the site for the straw poll might not have saved it, Critchfield said, but choosing a venue that has limited statewide appeal certainly didn’t make the event more prominent.

“I don’t think having the Iowa Speedway host the straw poll would have saved the event,” he said, “but I do believe that the Boone selection was — by far — the least exciting. The methods by which presidential candidates connect with voters have simply changed.”

Critchfield said the Newton Poll is meant to be an event that shows Iowans are actively discussing who will be the next U.S. president.

“I would encourage all local Republicans to attend this for two reasons,” he said. “One,it would be fun to get a baseline for Jasper County, and two, it encourages Iowa’s political relevance during a time when some are questioning it.”

Sculpture Continued from Page 1A held in Newton throughout its history, drew plenty of visitors in town for Newton Fest, including some who attended Newton High School’s all-classes alumni events.

There are many local businesses who sponsored the show by putting up award money, and organizers are very grateful for that support, festival director Linda Klepinger said.

Nick Klepinger, of Reasnor, took home this year’s $2,000 grand prize. He has won smaller artist awards at the show before, and he’s the husband of Linda Klepinger.

The $1,000 second-place award also went to a Jasper County resident — Judd Hoskins of Newton, who was entering the show for the first time.

Third place went to Martha Aldridge of Clinton, Mo., who took home $500.

A $1,500 Curran Cotton award went to

Kim Shakee of Brighton, Colo. Prizes of $250 went to eight different artists, including Newton resident Herman Deaton.

Making their debuts at the Iowa Sculpture Festival were Newton residents Phyllis Garner, Martina Holmes and Marilyn Terlouw. Collin Ferguson of Newton was this year’s “emerging artist,” and Rick Stewart, Kevin Korte and Jaci Thomason also exhibited their work.

Korte’s large “bugs” — one of which was a mosquito this year — were once again exhibited outside the entrance to the DMACC building.

converged on NHS for the annual alumni brunch and Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

A package of stories about the alumni brunch will be published in Tuesday’s Newton Daily News.

More than 50 people sat in the Jasper County Courthouse’s main courtroom to hear historical presentations. Larry Hurto used photographs taken in the 1880s to show what some of Newton’s late-19th-century architecture looked like, along with vast history that included gasps and the now-small dollar figures involved in real-estate transactions and construction costs.

Jasper County Board of Supervisors Chairman Denny Carpenter provided tours of the courthouse building, which has its own historic designation.

Not only did he help visitors explore the basement and fourth floor of the 1911 building, but also described renovations to the stained glass of the rotunda, the trim and other parts of the interior, the geothermal heating and cooling that provides a huge cost savings to taxpayers, the way technology has changed in the building and how space is used for storage of records and equipment.

Reenactors also played various figures in Newton history in the courtroom in a lighthearted, costumed representation.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Ryder Hertz didn’t need a free hand to take a sip during Saturday afternoon’s Newton Fest activities. After threatening skies loomed on Thursday and Friday evenings, the weather cooperated for the new event on Saturday.

Visitors were able to enjoy various types of food and refreshments — sometimes supporting fundraiser causes with purchases — and enjoyed live music Saturday afternoon and evening. JJ Express played hits such as Eric Clapton’s “After Midnight” as those listening viewed classic-era vehicles, including at least one vintage fire engine. Saturday night, the Omaha-based 80s cover band 3D In Your Face got fans to sing along to such catchy tunes as Warrant’s 1989 hit “Down Boys.”

The Iowa Sculpture Festival,

which has been held in Newton throughout its history, drew participants from six states for this year’s two-day event, along with plenty of visitors in town for Newton Fest.

minimum qualifications. They will then reduce the number to about 10 and take a closer look at additional qualifications. From there around mid-July, the field will be narrowed down to four and interviews will take place.

“The interviews will include opportunities to meet with directors, the command staff at the police department and representatives from the union,” Knabel said.

The commission will be given the opportunity to be a part of the process along with the city council.

“My target is, by the end of

July, is to have the interviews and narrow it down, then take it back to commission and they will certify the list,” Knabel said.

In the end, it is Knabel’s decision on who to hire for the position. Hoebelheinrich’s official retirement date falls at the end of August, and if the process goes as planned, the new hire will be ready to begin the next day.

“The hope is to have it all transitioned for someone to come in and start Sept. 1,” Knabel said.

Start the Press

I can hear (and smell) you

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | June 15, 2015

Ever since I can remember, I have always had an acute sense of smelling and hearing. I always assumed this compensated for my near blindness, which began in second grade and continued until I finally broke down and had LASIK surgery. If you’re considering it, just stop and go have it done — one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. But I digress — sound and hearing.

If you’ve ever stood beside me and opened a bag of chips or worse yet, dug your hand around in said bag of chips and created the dreaded rustling sound for minutes on end, I have likely cursed you. The noise you’re creating is deafening, and I can’t handle it.

That one falls into the annoying category, which many things do when you have sensitive hearing — a pen clicking in a meeting, a toe tapper, commercials that are always 100 times

louder than actual TV programming, someone sniffing their nose repeatedly, loud eaters and slurpers, people who chew gum obnoxiously, and the bane of my existence — when our dog’s toenails get to long and create a constant clicking sound on our tile flooring.

At other times, my hearing is handy. I can almost always hear what’s going on outside of my office in the newsroom, allowing me to chime in when needed.

Strong hearing has also aided in parenting — yes, I know what you kids are talking about and doing. Further, it serves to impress my father, who is now in that stage of his life where he requires hearing aids. I remember my mom told me the big news one day that he was finally breaking down and getting some hearing aids. Excited, I decided to call him and congratulate him.

“Dad, I heard you are going to get some hearing aids finally —

awesome news,” I said.

“Huh?” he replied.

I really love that story. But, let’s move on to scents.

My first and earliest dreaded smell was campfire. Yeah, I know — many people love that smell. It reminds them of fall or of some other pleasant thing.

To me, it’s just nasty, especially if it becomes saturated in your clothes and hair.

That reminds me of cigarette smoke. It isn’t often that I have to confront this smell anymore, but I can remember how I handled it in college when I frequented the bars that then allowed smoking. I’d stop at my back door and sack up all of my clothing so it wouldn’t contaminate my other dirty clothing and then I’d run immediately to the shower. Oftentimes the smell would require two shampoos and you could still smell just a hint of it when it was all said and done.

Other random scents that

bother me include bad breath, dog — particularly wet dog, dead things (and as a country girl, I will say a mouse can nearly drive me to permanent relocation), public restrooms, body odor, diapers, etc.

Now I realize that many of us struggle with many of these odors. For me, it’s fight or flight instinct. I’m either containing the odor or leaving the situation altogether — often while gagging.

Some days I’m completely annoyed with my senses and other times it comes in handy. Most often I wonder what it would be like to have normal reactions to sounds and smells. At least for now, I can see. Perhaps when the aging process starts to mess with my vision my other senses will stop being so funky.

Letters to the Editor

Kelley gets the job done Gayle Snook Newton I am writing about Dan Kelley. He has been our representative after the passing of Paul Bell in 2010.

There has been a lot of negativity both in letters recently as well as at the doors during election time. Yes, I’m one of the many volunteers who work

Think before you donate Doug Cook Newton State Representative Dan Kelley recently sent out another batch of fundraising letters requesting financial assistance so he can inform his constituents that he has been working on their behalf. A recipient of one of these letters showed it to me, and it made me wonder if Rep. Kelley depends on his daily per diem for his day-to-day expenses more than we realize.

Kelley is paid roughly $45,000 a year (salary, per diem, IPERS, health insurance, etc.) to serve as our state representative for a few months. His letter states that he needs additional funding to cover the costs of informing the voters how hard he is working.

Out of curiosity I decided to

to get good people elected into office.

Dan. It doesn’t really matter if you personally like him or not, the question you should be concerned with is “Does Dan Kelley do his job?” I’ve heard a lot of comments that he’ll do for now. There are a lot of folks that hold different votes against him because he didn’t vote how they wanted him to. The key thing I’ve learned about Dan is he does

research, he talks to people, he votes what’s best for ALL lowans, not just the Democrats. He truly is a representative that works for all his constituents in his area. IF you don’t like a vote, ask him about it. He’s very open about what his logic was in his vote.

I guess what it comes down to is do you want a good ole boy or do you want someone who’s going to get in there and do his job?

check out his financial reports, which are listed on the Iowa Secretary of State’s website. The campaign disclosures detail both contributions received and expenses paid out. In reference to his letter, I was interested in the campaign expenses that were reported. Listed below is a small sampling of his 2014 disclosures.

Six line items listed for office equipment (furniture, electronics, etc.) that amounted to $1,116.76.

Thirteen line items for cell phone reimbursement (was there an extra month in 2014?) that amounted to $2,423.87 (a family plan is less than that!).

Six mileage reimbursement checks in Dan’s name totaling $1,857.00. (12,000 miles worth of campaigning?...or do his donors pay all of his personal use also?)

Millions go to SeaWorld to learn more about sea life and get closer to killer whales.

B u t fewer go now because t h e documentary “Blackf i s h ” By John Stossel exposed what one reporter called “the darker side” of SeaWorld.

The movie, which CNN bought and ran over and over, tells how greedy businessmen take baby whales from their mothers and imprison them in small aquariums, where the frustrated animals are a threat to each other and their trainers.

“All whales in captivity have a bad life,” says a biologist in the film.

“They’re all psychologically traumatized.”

“Blackfish” is persuasive. Watching it made me agree with the protesters who shout, “SeaWorld is synonymous with cruelty!”

SeaWorld wouldn’t talk to CNN, but they did talk to me. I will be showing their responses on Fox News this weekend.

I asked SeaWorld why they separate whales from their mothers.

“We haven’t done that in 35 years,” says Kelly Flaherty Clark, SeaWorld head trainer. “We have no plans to do it again, and the film implies that we’re doing it yesterday.”

SeaWorld says much of “Blackfish” is deceitful.

“The things they describe just didn’t happen.”

“Eighty percent of the whales that we care for were born right here,” says head veterinarian Chris Dold. “The key difference between what our whales experience and what killer whales in the wild experience is the fact that ... our trainers work with them every day.”

I was most disturbed by a “Blackfish” scene that plays the mournful cry of a mother whale whose baby was taken from her.

But it turns out the “baby” was an adult with kids of her own. “Blackfish”

faked the scene by adding “sound effects that aren’t even appropriate to a killer whale.”

Blackfish also claims captive whales’ droopy dorsal fins indicate that the whales are miserable.

But whale expert Ingrid Visser says killer whales in the wild have collapsed dorsal fins, too.

The director of “Blackfish” and others who appear in the film would not talk to me, but biologist Lori Marino, who’d said that “all whales in captivity have a bad life,” did.

I pointed out that life in the wild is rough, too — there’s competition for food, sex, life itself. She answered, “these animals evolved over millions of years to be adapted to the challenges of the wild, not with living in a concrete tank. ... They need space ... and a social life.”

SeaWorld claims its whales are “happy.” But as “Blackfish” points out, “we can’t ask the whales.”

Dold replied, “While I may not know what my dog is thinking, I certainly know that he’s happy and that we have a good relationship.”

There have been moments when that human-whale relationship wasn’t good. One whale drowned a SeaWorld trainer. But Clark says there’s no evidence that the whale’s behavior meant that he was frustrated because he lives in a tank.

Finally, “Blackfish” claims that captive whales die young. But Dold points out, “We have a 50-yearold whale living at SeaWorld. ... (O)ur whales’ life parameters are the same as whales in the wild.” Government research confirms this.

It’s romantic to fantasize about freeing whales so that they can frolic in the ocean. That probably wouldn’t work out very well. After the movie “Free Willy” ran, the whale depicted in the film was set free. But wild whales wouldn’t accept him in their pods. Willy kept returning to shore to be near people. He let children ride on his back. Willy died not long after he was set free.

It’s hard to think rationally when animals tug at our heartstrings.

Camping halted at Hawkeye Wildlife Area The Hawkeye Wildlife Management Area in northwest Johnson County has been closed to camping to curtail all night parties and damage to the area.

The closure will remain in place to allow officials time to address the problems with littering, off-road driving, including large campers driving off maintained roadways, illegal tree and grass cutting, drug use and possession, under-age alcohol consumption, public intoxication, and large bonfires left unattended.

Conservation officers and wildlife staff with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources have been working to address these issues for more than 10 years.

“We’ve done educa-

tion and enforcement while dealing with the litter and drinking parties, campers staying longer than 14 consecutive days and illegally cutting down trees and mowing habitat,” said Shawn Meier, southeast Iowa district law enforcement supervisor for the Iowa DNR. “We don’t want to see it shut down for good, but what’s happening here is not camping — it’s a party.”

The increasing amount of violations led officials to temporarily close the area to camping.

The Hawkeye Wildlife Management Area is leased and managed by the Iowa DNR but is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Tim Thompson, wildlife

management biologist with the Iowa DNR, said public meetings will be held over the coming year to review the Corps of Engineers master plan for Coralville Reservoir.

“People are welcome to comment on camping but we need constructive input on stopping the illegal activities and general disturbances to the wildlife habitat,” he said. “We want people to enjoy getting back to nature by using Hawkeye responsibly.”

Thompson said the area has attracted people looking to avoid rules in place at the county, state and federal campgrounds. “These areas are managed to benefit wildlife — not to allow all night parties,” he said.

Most DNR wildlife areas allow primitive

camping with minimal gear and little disturbance to the natural environment on an area that is not preconditioned for camping. Everything packed in is packed back out; no trash left behind.

“True primitive camping has little impact on wildlife areas,” Thompson said. “But people bringing in large RVs and establishing their own campgrounds all summer and weekend bonfire parties do have an impact. We don’t have the budgets or staff to handle the maintenance of those types of use. Public parks are set up with restrooms and sewage waste disposal to handle intensive camping. They are staffed to provide an enjoyable and safe camping environment.”

Iowa’s no-rehire list continues growing DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa continued to add people to its do-not-rehire list over the past year despite the concerns raised by some representatives of public employees and at least one lawmaker. Public documents show 67 people have been added to the list that now includes 943 people ineligible to work in state government.

Critics say the process of adding people to the list can be arbitrary and inconsistent.

“I really think we’re getting ourselves set up for a lawsuit,” said state Sen. Janet Petersen.

The Democrat from Des Moines tried unsuccessfully to impose limits on the no-hire list in the legislature.

But state officials defend the list as a way to keep problematic

employees off of Iowa’s payroll.

And the Department of Administrative Services says anyone on the list can request their status be reviewed.

“It’s important for DAS to protect taxpayers’ interest and not pass around employees that have a known malfeasance from one agency to another,” said Caleb Hunter, a spokesman for the Iowa Department of Administrative Services.

Since the state first released the list in April 2014, there have been government oversight hearings and a lawsuit on behalf of three former workers.

The list includes workers who were disqualified from state government jobs because they were fired or resigned.

One of the attorneys who han-

dled that initial worker lawsuit, Tom Duff, said some people on the do-not-hire list are there for relatively minor reasons such as tardiness that shouldn’t warrant a lifetime ban.

“It’s draconian that an innocuous workplace issue could follow you forever in every job in the state,” Duff said. “And there also ought to be some uniformity about what sort of offense gets you put on the list.”

Former corrections officer Sarah Zaruba of Newton said she left her job voluntarily after her husband’s death in February, but she was added to the don’t-rehire list.

Zaruba said it’s unfair that she now has to appeal to get her name removed from the list after 17 years of service.

Husband’s cocktail time is too much and too loose

DEAR ABBY: I have been blessed with success over the years and continue to provide a comfortable lifestyle for my wife and me. I will be celebrating my 74th birthday soon, and 55 years of marriage to my high school sweetheart.

When I come home from a busy day, I enjoy sitting down and having two generous cocktails while I listen to my favorite news station. I espouse my views on the political events of the day. And always, without exception, I verbalize my adoration for my wife and our family, and express how beautiful my wife is and how much I love her.

My wife becomes somewhat annoyed because I get loose with my opinions and comments because of the alcohol. She wants me to quit drinking every night before dinner. I feel there’s no harm because I have only two drinks. At my age, I feel entitled, but I don’t want to make my wife feel like she is married to an alcoholic. What do you suggest I do? — MY AMERICAN DREAM INCLUDES COCKTAILS DEAR AMERICAN DREAM: For openers, try laying off the sauce for a week or so — if you can manage it — or cut back to one drink in a smaller glass. When you say you consume two “generous” drinks a day, I can’t help but wonder how generous and what you’re using to measure. While you may have been able to drink two generous drinks when you were younger with no negative effects, as folks get older (and 74 would qualify as “older”), they don’t metabolize alcohol as well.

One of the signs of problem drinking is when it starts to cause problems with others. Another is belligerence, and if that’s the way you become as you listen to your news programs, you can’t blame your wife for being upset. And as to the endearments you utter while under the influence — while they may be sweet, take it from me that women

much prefer to hear them from men who are sober.

DEAR ABBY: I am getting married to a wonderful man. He suggested that his close friend “Zoe” would like to be a bridesmaid, so I asked her and she accepted.

The problem is, I have sent multiple messages to Zoe regarding the color we have selected for the bridesmaid dresses and also asked if she’d like to come along when I look for my wedding dress. I have received no response at all from her. My fiance has also contacted her, and he hasn’t heard back, either.

Is it OK if I decide to use someone else who is willing to participate in the events leading up to the wedding, and not just the ceremony? — FIRSTAND ONLY-TIME BRIDE DEAR BRIDE: Have your fiance check with Zoe to see if she’s OK and her contact information is correct.

Then send Zoe a written message explaining that because she hasn’t responded to your previous messages, you and your fiance assume she won’t be participating in the pre-wedding activities and would prefer not to be one of your bridesmaids. Say that you both hope she will attend the wedding as a guest and send her an invitation. If she accepts — fine. However, if you don’t hear from her, take her off the list.

Rain runoff fills up some streets in Polk County

5 Rainfall blamed for breach at

DES MOINES — Several streets in Ankeny and other Polk County communities have been covered with runoff from heavy overnight rain. The National Weather Service says it’s received reports that up to 3 inches of rain has fallen since midnight in southeast Ankeny and that up to eight inches of water is covering some intersections and streets. Flooded and blocked streets also have been reported in Altoona.

A flood warning has been issued for the Des Moines River.

Lake Delhi temporary dam

DELHI — An official says heavy rainfall likely caused a breach in a temporary dam at the Lake Delhi construction site. Steve Leonard of the lake’s taxing district board of trustees says a wall for the cofferdam failed around 3:50 p.m. Sunday. He says the breach won’t significantly affect the waterflow but could affect reconstruction work.

The 9-mile-long lake was drained when the dam collapsed during 2010 flooding.

Iowa Sheep & Wool Festival holds 11th annual event in Colfax

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — Brad Anderson, of West Liberty, helps 15-year-old daughter Haddie Anderson’s lamb onto a metal platform and pulls out the eclectic clippers. As he evens the wool on the animals leg, Haddie clears the loose material with a portable vacuum.

While the father and daughter readied the 15-year-old’s three lambs at the Jasper County Fair Grounds Sunday to show at the Iowa Sheep & Wool Festival, Haddie’s friend, Gracie Danner,16, of West Liberty, relaxed in a lawn chair with her lamb already prepped for the show ring. This was Danner’s first trip to the annual sheep festival, and she is looking to get more exposure for her animal.

“Every show we go to, we’re looking to gain some experience for the lamb and yourself in the show ring,” she said.

The Iowa Wool & Sheep Festival is in its 11th year and is a chance for producers, FFA and 4-H members a chance to show their ewes, lambs and sheep outside of the traditional county and state fair venues. Organized by the Iowa Sheep Industry Association, the event also emphasizes the various resources garnered from the animal.

ISIA Director at-large Margie Meehan said 22 classes were scheduled this year to teach attendees about crocheting, knitting and dying wool fibers. Educational courses were also available for folks interested in sheep’s various breeds and uses.

Once held in Adel, Iowa’s annual homage to sheep and wool moved

Mike Mendenhall/Jasper County Tribune Haddie Anderson, 15, of West Liberty, gives her sheep a bit of hay before they step into the show ring Sunday at the Iowa Sheep & Wool Festival at the Jasper County Fair Grounds. The 2-day event brought Iowa producers and wool vendors from across the Midwest to Colfax to promote the sheep industry resources.

to the Jasper County Fair Ground in Colfax in 2014. ISIA President Marsha Spykerman said most of the crowd followed the festival eastward. About 670 people walked through the gate Saturday, marking a bit of a drop from the festival’s 1,000 people per-day average. Meehan said the threat of rain kept may have some showers and producers at home, but they are still pleased with the close-knit feel the fair grounds provides.

“With some of the events closer together (the Jasper County Fair

Grounds) gives it a little bit more of a festive atmosphere,” she said.

Gary Erickson is a Humboldt sheep farmer and sits of the board of directors of Iowa MidStates Wool Growers.

At his booth Sunday under the canopy of an animal enclosure, Erickson sold Mid-State’s official 2014 T-shirt of his granddaughter’s design which shows a lamb riding a motorcycle boasting “Baaaaad to the Bone.” He said promoting fiber produced from sheep is a big part of the festival, with vendors traveling as far as

Michigan to sell their homegrown products.

He said Iowa’s sheep and lamb industry is robust but does not hold the market share of the state’s beef and pork producers. Erickson — who is also secretary for the ISIA — said Iowa sheep producers average 275,000 head per year.

“We are a small industry, but we still play an important part,” Erickson said. “If anybody has not tried lamb and wants to try, we have excellent American lamb at the festival. ...Yes, it is a higher (priced) product, but it is a healthier product. And it is very, very delicious.”

The wool featured at the weekend festival is produced in the Midwest, and the vendors sell their own specialty wool — not commercial fabric grade found in big box wear house retailers.

But many fabric producers traveled from within Iowa to set up shop at the two-day event.

The lambs shown at this weekend’s sheep and wool festival are all for dietary consumption.

But the wool growers and ISIA are working on a wool breed show for 2015, Erickson said.

If it comes to fruition, this Iowa Sheep and Wool Festival off-shoot would feature Rambouillet, Romney and roughly 25 other wool producing breeds.

CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — Residents of Cedar Rapids are cleaning up the mess left behind by flash flooding earlier this week, including almost a dozen cars that stalled on streets trying to drive through high water.

Water that swamped city streets overnight Thursday drained away quickly, but not before damaging cars and sending rescue crews scrambling.

Cedar Rapids police said the department received 12 calls Thursday night from drivers needing to be rescued after driving into deep water.

The repair bills for cars that stalled out in water can vary, one repair shop told the station. Drying out the engine and draining water from brake lines are manageable repairs, but it’s more serious when water gets into a transmission or other vital engine components, the shop said.

Crews also closed Thomas Park along Indian Creek in Marion for most of the day Friday for a cleanup. Joggers and bikers were warned to stay off the nearby Boyson Trail due to high water.

Parks workers shoveled sand off grass and spread new wood chips around playground equipment.

“It’s not bad this time,” said parks worker Mike Rauch. “I remember last summer the water was all the way up and it took quite a while to get it fixed back up and looking good again.”

Dyersville celebrates success, growth of industrial park DYERSVILLE (AP) — Dyersville leaders are celebrating the success of the city’s industrial park and are laying the groundwork for future development on the 224-acre site.

Nearly 100 people gathered Friday inside the facility of Digga North America for an event that served as both a grand opening for the 20 West Industrial Park’s existing tenants and a groundbreaking for the development of more than 50 additional acres in the park.

Besides Digga and Spiegel Family Realty, the park has added business and image consulting company Dardis Inc., agriculture supplier Crop Production Services and plastics manufacturer JEDA Polymers in the last three years. A sixth lot remains unsold.

Digga CEO Suzie Wright, who flew in from Australia for the event, said the company considered several locations in the U.S. before deciding to come to eastern Iowa. Digga manufactures earthmoving and construction equipment.

“Dyersville won us over with the professionalism of their economic development group, the superiority of its local supply chain and the incredible community that makes up this town,” she said.

Clinton kicks off 2016 bid, embracing chance to make history The Associated Press NEW YORK — Hillary Rodham Clinton formally kicked off her presidential campaign on Saturday with an enthusiastic embrace of her potential to become the first woman to win the White House, asking supporters gathered at an outdoor rally to join her in building an America “where we don’t leave anyone out, or anyone behind.”

With the downtown New York skyline and new World Trade Center over her shoulder, Clinton offered herself as a fierce advocate for those still struggling from the Great Recession.

She promised to carry on the liberal legacies of President Barack Obama, and former Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Bill Clinton, her husband, saying “real and lasting prosperity must be built by all and shared by all.”

While Clinton ended her first campaign for president in 2008 by conceding she and her backers “weren’t able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling,” she vowed Saturday to push ahead toward an “America where a father can tell his daughter: Yes, you can be anything you want to be — even president of the United States.”

“I think you know by now that I’ve been called many things by many people,” Clinton said to cheers and laughter from the crowd of roughly 5,500 gathering on Roosevelt Island in the East River.

“Quitter is not one of them.”

secretary of state, first lady and Democratic senator from New York did not make her gender a core element in 2008, but it provided the cap to the first major speech of her 2016 bid.

“I will be the youngest woman president in the history of the United States. And the first grandmother as well,” she said.

Two months after starting her campaign with a simple video that showed her only briefly, Clinton outlined a broad vision intended to attract the coalition of young and minority voters that propelled Obama to two victories.

In her roughly 45 minute speech, Clinton laid out a wish list of Democratic policies: universal pre-K education, increased regulation of the financial industry, paid sick leave and equal pay for women, a path to citizenship for immigrants living in the country illegally,

campaign finance overhaul and a ban on discrimination against gay people and their families.

In doing so, Clinton tried to cast the 2016 election as a choice about the economic future of the middle class, saying the Republican field is “singing the same old song.”

The GOP’s candidates, she said, want to give Wall Street banks free reign, take away health insurance, “turn their backs” on gay people and ignore the science of climate change.

“Fundamentally, they reject what it takes to build an inclusive economy,” Clinton said. “It takes an inclusive society. What I once called ‘a village’ that has a place for everyone.”

Republicans jumped on Clinton’s decision to cite her ties to Obama and were trying to raise money off the speech almost as soon as it ended. In an email appeal asking for donations, former Texas Gov.

DES MOINES (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton is distancing herself from President Barack Obama over a contentious trade proposal, encouraging the president to address concerns raised by congressional Democrats and negotiate a better deal with 11 Pacific Rim nations.

The Democratic presidential front-runner on Sunday told Iowa Democrats that Obama should seek more concessions as a way to improve the Trans Pacific Partnership and suggested she’d drive a harder bargain than Obama.

“No president would be a tougher negotiator on behalf of American workers, either with our trade partners or Republicans on Capitol Hill, than I would be,” Clinton said. But Clinton, who is campaigning Monday in New Hampshire, declined to take a firm stance on the trade deal that has split Obama from House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and rank-and-filed Demo-

crats.

That wasn’t acceptable to one of her chief Democratic rivals for the 2016 race, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

“Is she for it? Is she against it?” Sanders told reporters in Indianola. “Those are your two options.”

The White House and Republican leaders in Congress are facing long odds in reviving the legislation after congressional Democrats helped defeat a job retraining program last week in a blow to Obama’s attempt to secure so-called fast track authority. Without the authority to negotiate trade deals that Congress can approve or reject, but not amend, the president would face difficulty in securing the Asia trade deal after years of work.

Congressional Republicans have suggested they may try to revive the bill as early as this week. Pelosi decided to side with House Democrats and oppose Obama’s plan, saying it required “a better deal for America’s workers.”

Rick Perry wrote, “We want to look toward a brighter future, not backward at the failed policies of the Obama-Clinton years.”

As part of an effort to reintroduce herself to the public, Clinton stressed her career of advocacy — a calling she said was inspired by her mother’s

difficult upbringing.

After the rally, she traveled to Iowa for a house party event Saturday night, where she urged supporters to sign up to help her campaign. The event was streamed online to more than 600 launch parties around the country, part of a tour of early-voting states this week.

Jeb Bush set for ‘16 race; campaign logo omits Bush surname The Associated Press WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — Jeb Bush is ready to launch a Republican presidential bid months in the making on Monday by asserting his commitment to the “most vulnerable in our society,” an approach targeting the broader American electorate even as he faces questions about his policies from conservatives in his own party.

Six months after he got the 2016 campaign started by saying he was considering a bid, the 62-year-old former Florida governor will formally enter the race with a

Larry & Diana Ambroson Boost Your Memory

A new study suggests that a single session of strength training may give your memory a boost.

Researchers separated participants into two groups -- one active, one passive.

Each group was shown 90 pictures. After this, the active group did leg exercises against heavy resistance. The passive group relaxed while an exercise machine, with no resistance, moved their legs. Two days later, they all were shown the same 90 pictures plus 90 more and were asked which they had seen before. The resistance group recalled the pictures with more accuracy. Experts say the stress of strenuous exercise may consolidate memories.

afternoon announcement speech. “What we need is new leadership that takes conservative principles and applies them so that people can rise up.”

The Bush campaign has unveiled a new logo that features his first name with an exclamation point — Jeb! — a branding decision that conspicuously leaves out the Bush surname, perhaps underscoring that while it’s a name that commands

respect from the GOP establishment, it also has drawbacks, including his brother’s difficult Iraq war legacy.

Bush joins the crowded Republican campaign in some ways in a commanding position. The brother of one president and son of another, Bush has likely raised a recording- breaking amount of money to support his candidacy and conceived of a new approach on how to structure his campaign, both aimed at allowing him to make a deep run into the GOP primaries.

But on other measures, early public opinion polls among them, he has yet to break out. While unquestionably one of the top-tier candidates in the GOP race, he is also only one of several in a capable Republican field that does not have a true front-runner.

In the past six months, Bush has made clear he will remain committed to his core beliefs in the campaign to come — even if his positions on immigration and education standards are deeply unpopular among the conservative base of the

party that plays an outsized role in the GOP primaries.

“I’m not going to change who I am,” Bush said as he wrapped up a week-long European trip this weekend. “I respect people who may not agree with me, but I’m not going to change my views because today someone has a view that’s different.”

Bush is one of 11 major Republicans in the hunt for the nomination. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Ohio Gov. John Kasich are among those still deciding whether to join a field that could end up just shy of 20.

But few among them entered the race with such a high expectations of success as did Bush.

Those expectations have seemed a burden at times.

Take, for example, the question of whether Bush will report raising $100 million for his campaign in the first six months of the year. Lost amid the “will he or won’t he” is that Bush probably will have raised more in six months than former presidential nominee Mitt Romney raised in the first year before the 2012 election.

Still, Bush’s return to politics since leaving the governor’s office in 2007 has been underwhelming at times.

His speaking style often leaves something to be desired, particularly when compared with some opponents. He sometimes gets snippy during long campaign days. While detailed policy questions are often his strength, he struggled for several days last month to answer a predictable question about the war in Iraq waged by his brother, former President George W. Bush.

Cardinals challenge two ranked teams in tourney

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Going 1-2 in the first Newton Softball Tournament Saturday was good for the Newton High Cardinals.

Their two losses were to two ranked teams in Iowa high school softball.

The day started with a 12-0 win, and a visit from a wild turkey, against Des Moines North. It ended in a fun-filled contest against NHS softball alumni.

Class 3A top-ranked Benton went 3-0 in tournament play while Class 4A No. 2-ranked Indianola was 2-0.

Only Benton and Newton

played three games in the event. Newton was 1-2 and Saydel went 1-1 while Des Moines North and Martensdale-St. Marys were 0-2.

Newton’s junior shortstop Sydney Jenkins and eighthgrade pitcher Peyton Maher were named to the all-tournament team. Joining them were: Benton-juniors Alyssa Wiebel and Amber Fisher; Indianola-senior Summer Waycoff and freshman Sydney Sickles; Des Moines North-junior Justina Negrete; Martensdale-St. Marys-freshman Kaitlyn Schad; Saydel-senior Liz Miklus.

Newton battled Indiano-

la in its second game of the tournament. The Cardinals gave up six hits and lost 2-0 to the Indians. The Indians scored single runs in the fourth and fifth innings.

To wrap up the tournament, the Cardinals challenged Benton, losing 10-3.

Benton had defeated Martensdale-St. Marys, 10-0 and Des Moines North 11-0.

Newton charged to a 3-0 lead against Benton’s Bobcats, scoring three runs in the top of the third inning.

Kennedy Leiker singled, Fran Lucas drew a walk and Jenkins was hit by a pitch to load the bases with one out.

Karley Leiker hit a sacrifice

fly for an RBI. Maher delivered a two-run single.

Benton’s Fiser parked a Maher pitch over the center field fence to lead off the bottom of the third inning.

Maher responded in retiring the next three batters, two by strikeouts.

Both teams changed pitchers in the fourth inning. Taylor Ryan was in the circle for Newton and Benton went to Fiser to relieve Wiebel. Fiser shutdown Newton, pitching four no-hit, scoreless innings, and striking out 11.

The Bobcats scored six runs in the fourth inning to take control of the game, leading 7-3. They added a run

in the fifth.

Karley Leiker, who was the winning pitcher against Des Moines North, took over in the circle for Newton in the sixth inning. Alyssa Wiebel powered out a two-run home run over the fence in left center field.

Maher went three innings in the circle, allowing one run on two hits and struck out four. Ryan took the loss, charged with seven runs on seven hits and one walk in two innings of work. Karley Leiker gave up two runs on two hits.

Indians hand Cardinal boys first LHC loss

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Four errors defensively and stranding 12 base runners is not the formula for winning baseball games. Newton High’s Cardinals stress making routine plays, but it was visiting Oskaloosa’s Indians who made the plays more often than the Cardinals Friday night.

The Indians handed the Cardinals their first loss in Little Hawkeye Conference play. Oskaloosa claimed a 5-1 win over Newton at Eversman Field in Woodland Park.

“We hit the ball. but didn’t get the hit at the critical time to drive in runs. We stranded runners on base,” said Dustin Brisel, Newton head coach. “They (Oskaloosa) played better at our game — making routine plays — than we did tonight.”

Newton’s team honored NHS alumnus Aaron Henning, who died from injuries sustained in a house fire at the end of May. Henning’s sons Jordan and Logan threw out first pitches in pre-game ceremonies, and the Cardinals’ batting helmets have a AH sticker on them.

Jordan Travis threw a complete game for the Cardinals in a losing effort. He racked up 11 strikeouts, but allowed seven hits and walked two.

Indians’ starter Colton Swanson went

five shutout innings for the win. He allowed four hits, walked four and struck out three Cardinal batters. Bennett Spry issued two walks pitching for Oskaloosa and T.J Boyle worked

two innings and was charged with one run on three hits and one walk.

Boyle struck out two.

“Jordan threw a great game. We have to clean up some things and move on,” Brisel said.

“We still have a lot of baseball to play. We have some big games coming up this next week.”

The Cardinals had two on and two out in the second and didn’t score. In the sixth, trail-

ing 4-0, Newton had the bases loaded with one out and came up empty.

In the seventh, Newton had three hits in the inning and scored just one run.

A throwing error with

two gone in the third allowed Oskaloosa to score a run. The Indians scored on back-to-back singles with two outs in the fourth. Two errors BASEBALL | 8B

Hawk softball goes unbeaten in home tourney

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s softball team came into its home tournament Saturday with six players batting .426 or better and five who have contributed to the team’s 10 home runs.

Saydel gets walk-off win against CMB Warriors withstand James’ big effort, take 3-2 lead in Finals

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Rece Martin had three hits at the plate and struck out 11 on the mound to lead the Saydel baseball team to a 3-2, eight-inning win over Collins-Maxwell/Baxter on Friday night in a battle between two teams that entered the night tied with Roland-Story for second in the Heart of Iowa Conference.

Saydel struck first in its opening at-bat. The Eagles took advantage of a two-out error to plate an unearned run.

The lead held up all the way to the sixth inning, but the Raiders took advantage of one of their few scoring chances.

Brady Stover led off the game with a single and then took second on Seth Balke’s one-out infield single. An error at first base allowed Stover to score and Balke to reach second and Balke eventually got to third on a wild pitch.

CMB (5-3 in HOIC) then took the lead when sophomore clean-up hitter Brady Kemp laid down a suicide squeeze bunt that scored Balke.

Saydel, helped out by another CMB error, answered with a single run in the bottom of the sixth to tie it at 2. The Eagles won it in the bottom of the eighth inning when Martin singled, took second on a sacrifice bunt by Joe Boehler and then scored on T.J. Stephenson’s walk-off RBI single.

Balke went the distance on the mound for CMB. He allowed three runs — two earned — on 10 hits and struck out five while walking one. Balke also went 2-for-3 with a run scored at the plate and reached base three times.

Singles by Stover and Kemp were the only other hits

by CMB. The Raiders committed four errors and left three on base. Saydel had two errors and stranded eight but still won its seventh in a row.

Martin tossed the first seven innings for Saydel (10-4, 6-2) and allowed no earned runs on four hits and fanned 11.

PCM goes 1-1 at East Marshall Tournament GILMAN — The Prairie City-Monroe baseball team wiped out a five-game losing streak with a win over Hudson in the first round of the East Marshall Tournament on Saturday.

The Mustangs rallied from a 7-3 deficit with two runs in the fifth and six in the sixth and won 11-8 to reach the championship game.

In the title game, host East Marshall scored four runs in the first and then plated three apiece in the sixth and seventh innings to close out the win.

Unbeaten: CMB loses two leads, finishes 0-2 Continued from Page 2B two outs, eighth-grader Hannah Caple came through with a pinch-hit RBI single that plated pinch runner Jordynn Wesselink.

In the fifth, senior MacKenzie Schmitz led off the frame with a double, moved to third on Megan Ritter’s sacrifice bunt and then scored on Kahler’s RBI groundout to second.

That would be all the Raiders offense would muster though. The only other hit in the game came from Veronica Condon.

Kahler took the loss in the circle. She surrendered seven hits but only three runs were earned.

Lynnville-Sully trailed Des Moines Christian 3-1 after two innings but scored four in the third, five in the fourth and five more in the fifth.

Schmitz and Anna Peters had the other two hits. They both scored a run and Schmitz stole two bases and walked once.

Eighth-grader Sydney Schmidt allowed 12 hits in the circle but only four of the seven runs were earned because the Raiders made several miscues in the field.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry came off a screen, dribbled behind his back and crossed over Matthew Dellavedova.

He stepped back and swished a 3-pointer, then pounded his chest and pointed to the roof, seemingly controlling the sellout crowd of 19,596 on his fingertips.

One more win and the MVP will really have a moment to celebrate.

Curry made seven 3-pointers and scored 37 points, and the Warriors withstood another brilliant performance from LeBron James to outlast the Cleveland Cavaliers 104-91 on Sunday night for a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals.

“It was a fun moment, but it will only mean something — and I’ll probably have a better answer for that question after we win that championship — but signature moments only come for

players who are holding the trophy,” said Curry.

With a sellout crowd rocking and roaring in their golden-yellow shirts, Curry and his teammates took control of the game in the final minutes.

Curry connected inside and out — sometimes way out — to help the Warriors pull away and get in a position they haven’t been in 40 years.

The Warriors will try to win their first title since 1975 on Tuesday night in Cleveland, which hasn’t won a major sports championship in 51 years.

Game 7, if necessary, would be in Oakland on Friday night.

“I feel confident because I’m the best player in the world,” said James, who finished with another triple-double.

The four-time MVP had 40 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, slowing down the pace the way only he can.

He made 15-of-34 shots in 44 minutes.

The big excitement of the game came when a wild turkey flew into the field of play at Agnes Patterson Softball Complex’s field No. 5. The bird landed then flew out again.

Karley Leiker made her varsity pitching debut and got the win. She threw a one-hit shutout. It was a single from the second batter she faced in the game. She recorded two strikeouts.

That changed our plans a bit for this weekend,” said Kristina McNew, Newton head coach. “Karley stepped in and did a good job today.”

Newgarden wins IndyCar race TORONTO (AP) — Josef Newgarden took the lead on the 72nd lap and held on to capture the Honda Indy Toronto race Sunday.

Newgarden, a 24-year-old native of Henderson, Tenn., completed the 85 laps around the 1.755-mile, 11-turn Exhibition Place street circuit first for his second IndyCar win this season.

Teammate Luca Filippi was second 1.4 seconds behind, followed

There were no Canadians in the 23-car field but James Hinchcliffe of Oakville, Ontario, recovering from a serious leg served as grand marshal.
