on Hummel just turned 90 years old, but don’t tell anyone.

Hummel joked about keeping his age a secret during a recent interview, but that would be as tough to keep under wraps as it would be to make a secret out of how widely respected and liked he is in Newton.

The World War II veteran, longtime Maytag employee and former owner of Cliff ’s Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge is many other things to his community, and soon he can add 2015 City of Newton Fourth of July parade marshal to his long list of life achievements.

Hummel received a written invitation to serve as a grand marshal of this year’s parade by Greater Newton Chamber of Commerce board members at a recent celebration of his 90th birthday. He said he was caught off guard by the invitation.

“I thought ‘Holy mackerel,’” Hummel said.

“I was overwhelmed. So many other great people have served in that role through the years.”

Hummel said his wife, Betty, isn’t in the best of health, and may or may not “give it the old college try” and ride in the parade along with Don. Jeff Maki, the oldest of Don and Betty’s grandsons, will be his driver, and Jeff Hummel, one of the couple’s sons, will be the “co-pilot.”

The couple will undoubtedly be waving to at least a few family members during the parade. They raised all seven of their children in Newton, and have 17 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren, plus one great grandchild on the way.

Hummel said he’s honored to fulfill a role that’s regarded as also sort of lifetime achievement award for contributing to

Grab your lawn chairs and blankets and get ready for the Fourth of July celebration in Newton Saturday.

Events kick-off at 7 a.m. and go until dark for a full day of family fun activities.

“We just want everybody to come out and enjoy themselves and have another fun experience here at the Fourth of July in Newton,” Newton Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Craig Light said.

Starting off the day are two breakfast events. First the Mason’s will hold a pancake breakfast at 7 a.m. and the Kiwanis will be selling breakfast pizza from Domino’s beginning at 7:30 until 11 a.m. on the square.

Also at 7 a.m., those entering in the parade can begin lining up at DMACC. The 2015 edition of the parade is themed “When I was a Kid” and will begin at 9:30 a.m., running approximately until 11 a.m.

“They can reflect on their childhood and think about what the Fourth of July parade was then back in their hometown,” Light said.

Fourth of July activities set for Saturday

COLFAX — A Colfax man has been released from the Jasper County Jail on $10,000 bond after he allegedly assaulted two teenagers at knife point in their home late Wednesday afIngram ternoon.

Paul B. Ingram, 42, was arrested by Colfax Police after a female victim told officers Ingram appeared in the 200 block of Cherry Street uninvited at 5:50 p.m. and allegedly held a knife to the necks of her 14-year-old and 17-year-old children.

According to police reports, Ingram said he would return to the apartment in 30 minutes “guns blazing.” Around 6 p.m., the defendant reportedly assaulted the juveniles’ mother when she went to 422 E. State St. to confront Ingram about the earlier attack.

Ingram told officers he believed the teens stole money from his home and that was his reasoning behind the attack.

During the second assault, police records state Ingram held the female victim to the ground, punching the back of her neck twice. The female victim sustained visible injuries to her left shin and a cut to her right wrist during the struggle.

Ingram was transported to the Jasper County Jail and posted bond later Wednesday evening.

Ingram is charged with two counts of assault while displaying a dangerous weapon, an aggravated misdemeanor, assault causing injury and third-degree burglary, a class D felony.

He is scheduled to appear in Jasper County District Court on July 7.

Strong storms, rains limit farmers’ ability, Northey says

FIle Photo Soybeans are part of the agriculture that makes up more than one-third of Iowa’s economic output. Several Iowans, including Gov. Terry Branstad, testified at an EPA hearing last week about the importance for higher standards of minimum volume of national production of biofuels.

Iowans speak up for soybean industry at biofuels hearing

DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“The strong storms and heavy rains that rolled through Iowa last week have stressed crops, flooded some fields and limited farmers’ ability to get needed work done. Spraying weeds, side-dressing fertilizer, making hay and other activities were all slowed by the wet weather. Some farmers in Southwest and South Central Iowa may be forced to take prevented-planting coverage on some fields they will not be able to plant before July 1,” Northey said.

Severe weather conditions rolled through Iowa this week as high winds, isolated hail and plenty of rain occurred during the week ending June 28. Statewide there were three days suitable for fieldwork. Activities for the week included cutting hay, herbicide and fungicide applications and some nitrogen side dressing. Excessive moisture is stressing some crops, causing small drowned-out areas and preventing farmers from controlling weeds.

Topsoil moisture levels rated to 0 percent very short, 1 percent short, 68 percent adequate and 31 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 2 percent short, 72 percent adequate and 26 percent surplus. Eighty-three percent of the corn crop was rated good to excellent. Soybean emergence reached 96 percent, 11 days behind 2014.

Soybean condition rated 78 percent good to excellent this week. With 90 percent of the oat crop headed or beyond, conditions declined slightly to 81 percent good to excellent.

Pasture condition rated 81 percent good to excellent. Muddy feedlots and increased insect pressure elevated livestock stress levels.

Iowa Soybean Association represented in EPA testimony

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When representatives of the soybean business traveled to Kansas City for an EPA hearing last week, they weren’t just thinking about their livelihoods in 2016 and 2017.

They were looking beyond those years as well.

Grant Kimberley of the Iowa Soybean Association joined American Soybean Association board member Bob Henry and hundreds of farmers and other supporters of high renewable fuel standard supporters at the hearing. Soybean and corn industry advocates are among many who would like to see the EPA go with much stronger RFS target numbers that will help determine the need for certain crops in the years ahead.

Kimberley is the director of market development for the ISA and and is also executive director for the Iowa Biodiesel Board.

“Agriculture accounts for more than one-third of Iowa’s economic output,” Kimberley told the EPA in his testimony.

“If you give farmers the chance to produce, we will always rise to the occasion.”

Henry, a Kansas farmer, told

the EPA exactly what target numbers the ASA would like to see, and is confident soybean biodiesel production will help easily exceed the goals, and help compete with developing foreign producers.

Henry called for much higher goals that the EPA’s proposed targets of 1.8 and 1.9 billion gallos for 2016 and 2017, respectively.

“We see no reason why EPA should not, at a minimum, support biomass-based diesel volumes of at least 2 billion gallons for 2016 and 2.3 billion gallons for 2017,” Henry said.

“Increasing the biomass-based diesel volumes relative to the total advanced biofuels volumes will promote the use of biodiesel over imported Brazilian sugar-cane ethanol; the EPA has approved a streamlined process for Argentine biodiesel to comply with the RFS and we expect Argentine imports into the U.S. to increase significantly in 2015 and future years.”

Kimberley said he asked the EPA to raise the target volume obligation for 2016 to be between 2.0 to 2.4 and between 2.3 and 2.7 in 2017. He said the indusry will stall or “flatline” if the 1.8 and 1.9 billion goals

are left in place, as the industry is already producing that much biofuel.

Some soybeans are used to produce partially hydrogenated oil for frying food. Since the FDA recently banned partially hydrogenated oil, a higher RFS would instantly provide a new destination for millions of pounds of soybeans.

“That’s another reason it’s important to raise the standard, as a lot of beans and their oil will have no place to go,” Kimberley said.

Kimberley said government standards that require certain amounts of production spur on the industry to find more ways to safely, cleanly produce more crops each year.

“Biofuel actually enhances food supply, because we’re having to innovate to produce more soybeans, and, in turn, more protein,” Kimberley said. “Agriculture plays a huge role in both food security and energy security. I wanted to convey why that’s important — Not only to the country, but also to agriculture in Iowa.”

34th Army Band to perform Saturday As a special treat, the 34th Army Band will be performing at the Fourth of July celebration beginning at 7 p.m. at Agnes Patterson Park. A part of the Iowa National Guard, the members of the band travel all over the state of Iowa as ambassadors of good will as they perform and entertain.

Originally founded in 1918, it went through several incarnations before being reorganized and re-designated as the 34th Army Band, Iowa Army National Guard on March 1, 1963.

lighting fireworks always wears eye protection.

• Light only one firework at a time and never attempt to relight “a dud.”

• Never throw or point a firework toward people, animals, vehicles, structures or flammable materials.

Grilling Safety Every year people are injured while using charcoal or gas grills. Here are several steps to safely cook up treats for the backyard barbecue: • Always supervise a barbecue grill when in use.

• Never grill indoors – not in the house, camper, tent, or any enclosed area.

• Make sure everyone, including the pets, stays away from the grill.

• Keep the grill out in the open, away from the house, the deck, tree branches, or anything that could catch fire.

• Use the long-handled tools especially made for

nes Patterson Park. Starting at 1 p.m. a co-ed sand volleyball tournament is planned. The fee for the tournament is $20 and there are limited spots available. To register, sign up at the Newton Park Office at 3000 N. Fourth Ave. E. or find more information on the parks Facebook page.

Park events kick off at 6:30 p.m. with kids activities including inflatables, food vendors and a performance by the 34th Army Band beginning at 7 p.m. Activities will conclude at 8:30 p.m. in preparation for fireworks which will start at dusk.

The mission of the band is to provide music through out the spectrum of military operations, to instill in our forces the will to fight and win, foster the support of our citizens and promote our national interests at home and abroad.

Band members are traditional Guardsmen and women who live in all parts of the state and some adjoining states that come from virtually every walk of life. They serve as ambassadors, great musicians and are “unquestionably one of the finest army bands in the land.”

cooking on the grill to keep the chef safe.

Swimming Safety “The Red Cross wants everyone to have fun this Fourth of July weekend, and we have ten ways people can stay safe while enjoying the water,” Schaffer said.

• Learn to swim and only swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards.

• Always swim with a buddy; do not allow anyone to swim alone.

• Have young children or inexperienced swimmers wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets around water, but do not rely on life jackets alone.

• Provide close and constant attention to children and inexperienced swimmers you are supervising in or near the water.

Avoid distractions while supervising.

• Limit the amount

of direct sunlight received between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 15. Reapply often.

• Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water regularly, even if not thirsty. Avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine.

• For a backyard pool, have appropriate equipment, such as reaching or throwing equipment, a cell phone, life jackets and a first aid kit.

• Secure the backyard pool with appropriate barriers including four-sided fencing.

• Know how and when to call 911.

• Never leave a young child unattended near water, and do not trust a child’s life to another child. Teach children to always ask permission to go near water. If a child is missing, check the water first.

Park will be closed on July 4 until 6 p.m. for safety reasons. Access to the south parking lot will only be granted to individuals playing in the sand volleyball tournament prior to 6 p.m.,” Administrative Park Superintendent Nathan Unsworth said.

The Newton Police Department will be enforcing parking restrictions the night of the event.

The bike trail entering the park from the northwest will be closed the entire day and due to East 31st Street North (Beltline Road) being closed for construction, all traffic must enter and exit the park from the North Fourth Avenue East entrance. For this reason, there will be no parking allowed along North Fourth Avenue East south of Agnes Patterson Park.

The park will open at 6 p.m. for parking and once the parking lots are full, vehicle access to the park will be restricted.

Additional parking will be available in the Berg neighborhood and at Berg Elementary and Middle School which is less than a half of a mile walk from the park. Parking will also be allowed on North 11th Avenue East but no access to the park will be granted from North 11th Avenue East or the adjacent bike trail.

Anyone with questions, or for more information about the event, should contact the Newton Park Office at 641-7921470.

Hummel Continued from Page 1A Newton. He said he’s sad that many who helped build the community into what it has become today are no longer around to participate in events like Fourth of July parades.

“I’ve outlived a lot of them,” Hummel said. “So many are gone. We didn’t always agree on everything, but if you needed help, your Newton neighbors were the best kind of friends you could have.”

Chamber Director Craig Light said there were about 30 nominations submitted for this year’s parade marshal, and more than 20 were nominations for Hummel. He said that made him an easy choice.

Recent parade marshals were Helen Grosvenor in 2014 and Junior Ekins in 2013.

One of the nominations emailed to the chamber says Hummel still gets around town better than some of his peers, and uses his mobility to comfort and bond with others.

“On any day of the week, you can find him visiting one of our nursing homes in Newton, just stopping by to say ‘hi,’” the nomination reads. “In fact, Don can be found talking to people all over Newton. It seems that he knows everyone. As always, he continues to be a pillar in the community that he loves.”

Keeping Me on My Toes

Pack the house — we’re moving

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | June 30, 2015

Hopefully for the last time in my life, I am moving. The word move has been added to the list of four letter words that aren’t to be spoken unless utterly necessary. I never moved growing up and the first time I lived somewhere other than my parents’ house was when I went to college.

That move, although emotional, was not nearly as stressful as moves to come. After college, my husband and I built our first house and the “move” to the house was not huge because we were mostly getting new things to fill the house.

It wasn’t until we decided to move back to my hometown that we learned what moving really was.

To sell our house in a very competitive market, we had to do some work. We finished

the basement, laid new flooring and painted a neutral color to appeal to anyone. Anything that wasn’t necessary to our daily lives was packed away and shipped to my parents house to help with clutter — even our dog. Although I was always happy when the realtor called to show the house, it was very stressful to have to keep it in show condition with two kids younger than age 2 to clean up after.

Finally, after several months on the market, we sold the house and were ready to head to our new home, which we had made an offer on months earlier. Then came the struggles with the mortgage. I think mortgage agents were put on earth to make my life miserable and full of stress. It didn’t matter how many times I asked

a question, I always got different answers. I am amazed the deal even went through after having to jump through so many hoops.

We made it to our house and have been happy for the past year or so. We downsized to accommodate our life and that started to catch up with us over the winter. Our cute little house started to become small and cramped and our eyes began wandering to a new location.

A property I have always admired was put up for sale, and after months of planning, we decided to make a move for it. Luck was on our side and we were able to get the house, which, of course, meant we needed to sell our current house.

Wanting to avoid realtor fees, we decided to place a “for

sale by owner” sign in our yard and see what happened. Our luck continued and after only a couple of weeks, we were able to pull the sign and mark our house as sold. Then the dreaded thought again came that we have to move all of our belonging again from one house to another.

We are currently right in the middle of moving boxes from our house to my parents house where we will be staying for a couple of weeks before we can move into our new house (thanks mom and dad!). Then, toward the end of July, we will once again move every possession we own — hopefully for the last time.

Letter to the Editor

Marriage equality is the law of the land Gene Bryant Newton

Kudos to the Daily News for a balanced article of June 28 regarding local reactions to Friday’s Supreme Court ruling establishing marriage equality throughout the land.

Members of conservative churches, such as Sheri Benson, should remember that the justices’ decision concerned civil rights and not the affairs of churches. Part of the genius of our democracy is this: It is not necessary for all civil law to coincide with religious

teaching, or vice-versa.

In the Constitution, and in established law, we have been careful to affirm the right of individual believers, and religious bodies, to practice their faith as they see fit.

This right remains intact. At the same time, our courts and other civil authorities cannot, and must not, be bound by the beliefs and practices of any particular religious group.

To launch a retention vote because of a particular ruling, as Family Leader did in Iowa and as candidates like Ted Cruz now want to do, is to insist that the United States should become a theocracy. We would then be governed not by the rule of law but by

the convictions, even prejudices, of whichever set of religious leaders manage to gain power. Conservative religious believers should remember that the next such case that comes along may go their way. That’s the way it works under the rule of law.

Simply put, conservative believers rejoiced when Iowans threw out three justices from our Supreme Court for the same kind of ruling we saw on Friday. Why should we progressive believers not be afforded the same privilege when a civil right for which we have long worked is achieved?

It flew over hundreds of thousands of obscenities of horror. The rape of young slave women, fresh f r o m Africa, h e l d down a n d brutal- By Marc Dion ized by white men.

Chaining. Branding.

Mutilation. Castration.

Hanging. Killing in dozens of ways.

The crushing of the spirit. The breaking of the body. The million cruelties of one person owning another The preachers — most of them — said it was God’s will, that the black man was “the son of Ham,” doomed by the Bible to be a “hewer of wood and a drawer of water.”

The flag flew over all that and more.

The courthouse in a sharecropper town where a black person had best get out of town by sundown. The country jail where the lynch mob went to get their victim.

On a proud pole over the segregated cemeteries of the war dead. Over segregated schools where the teachers made the “negro children” pledge it every morning.

It flapped in the breeze over the white housing projects in South Boston, glowed on the shoulder patch of a cop doing a little nightstick work on some mouthy black kid on the south side of Chicago.

It flew over the town hall in Pennsylvania where they wouldn’t give you a license to wed a white man. It was on the mastheads of newspapers that didn’t print “colored” wedding announcements or printed them on a separate page.

It flew over the sunlit bowl of a baseball stadium where white men

taunted Jackie Robinson.

And we would not back down from that flag.

We saluted when it went by in a parade. We pledged it at the start of the city council meetings. We put a tiny one on a stick next to every veteran’s grave. We put it everywhere after 9/11.

We threaten to stomp people who stomp that flag. We try, some of us, to endlessly amend to United Sates Constitution to protect that flag.

We wear that flag on shirts, pants, hats, bikinis and underwear as a sign of our pride.

It flew over a “white man’s country” and over the massacres of Native Americans, and it flew over the boys going ashore to be torn apart on Omaha Beach.

We played tug of war with it as it started to stand for civil rights, for women’s rights, for gay rights, for the right to publish everything from unpopular political theories to Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl.”

The flag looked the same but it got bigger, its promise covering more and more people, its slow, flapping freedom shading more kinds of people from injustice.

The Confederate flag saw many, if not all, of the same things, but it could not change. Its nation vanished and that flag was forever constrained by its original limits. It could not get bigger — only smaller.

What we say we like best about the American flag is that its meaning never changes, but we are wrong. The American flag, and what it means, is always getting bigger, extending the promise further.

Old Glory never really gets old.

Woman’s belief of parentage needs facts to back her claim DEAR ABBY: I recently received a Facebook message from a 47-yearold mother of four who believes she is my daughter. While I do not remember her mother and have communicated this to the woman, the pictures she sent of her children somewhat resemble my family.

I’m happily married with two sons, and my wife is aware of this and will support any decision I make. I’m conflicted about the choices before me and the impact they may have on her family and mine. What is the right thing to do? — CONFLICTED IN FLORIDA DEAR CONFLICTED: Try to get a little more background from the woman about her mother. For instance, WHY does she think you are her father? Were you and her mother ever in the same place at the same time? If there is a possibility that you could be her dad, the ethical thing to do would be to let her know that your attorney will be contacting her to arrange a DNA test.

DEAR ABBY: Please tell me what to say to persuade my friend to stop driving up in front of my house and honking his horn. I have asked him twice not to do it, but it continues.

It may seem like a small thing to him, but I think it’s disrespectful to me for him to toot his horn like I’m supposed to come running out. A more courteous approach would be to call me and say he’s near, or to ring the doorbell when he arrives. Am I being old-fashioned? — EXPECTS RESPECT IN CHARLOTTE, N.C. DEAR EXPECTS: No. In light of the fact that you have asked this person more than once not to do this, he is rude. In addition, when a driver honks his or her horn repeatedly in a residential neighborhood, the noise can be disruptive to your neighbors.

DEAR ABBY: I recently phoned

one of my mother’s best friends, “Edna,” to wish her a happy birthday.

It was her 101st. When I asked her about her family, she spent some time sobbing over the recent news that her eldest son has cancer.

My first thought — and that of several others — was, why was she told?! Edna is frail and in poor health.

She has seen her share of tragedies and losses in her long life, and I think she should have been spared this devastating news.

Hearing her sob on her birthday broke my heart. However, a couple of my friends disagreed with me. They thought she ought to know. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated. — WONDERING IN THE WEST DEAR WONDERING: There are no hard-and-fast rules that apply to these situations. Although Edna may no longer be able to live independently, her thinking may be clear and she is still the matriarch of the family. When you withhold information from someone, even if it’s well-intentioned, it isolates the person. Because the conversation upset you to such an extent that you felt you had to write to me, my thought is you should let Edna’s children know what happened.

Jury rejects conservative’s bias suit against U. Iowa dean The Associated Press IOWA CITY — The former dean of the University of Iowa law school didn’t commit illegal political discrimination when she passed over a conservative lawyer for teaching jobs, a jury ruled Monday.

After a six-day trial, a federal jury in Davenport rejected Teresa Manning’s assertion that then-Dean Carolyn Jones rejected her for the faculty because of Manning’s political beliefs and associations.

The verdict is a victory for the university in a long-running case that has been closely watched in higher education and by social conservatives. It came after about 90 minutes of deliberations in the second trial in the case, after the first in 2012 ended in an unusual mistrial.

“We are pleased with the outcome and happy to put this case behind us,” university spokeswoman Jeneane Beck said.

Manning had been seeking lost wages and damages for what she called an illegal rejection that sidelined her career.

“I find the verdict incomprehensible given the evidence we presented. I don’t know what else to say,” she said, thanking her attorney, Stephen Fieweger, for pursuing the case for years.

Manning has a contract with a conservative publisher to write a book about her experience, which many Republicans have cited as an example of the bias they face in academia in general and the nation’s law schools in particular.

Manning contended that liberal professors on the faculty derailed her candidacy for jobs teaching legal writing and analysis because they couldn’t stand her anti-abortion activism and other views.

Chinese student faces prosecution in China for Iowa slaying The Associated Press IOWA CITY — Chinese authorities have arrested a former University of Iowa student in southeastern China and say they will prosecute him in the slaying of his girlfriend in Iowa, where her body was found stuffed into the truck of her car, Iowa City police said.

An Iowa City police news release issued Monday night said Xiangnan Li, 23, surrendered to police in Wenzhou on May 13 and was arrested on June 19 to face a charge of intentional homicide.

Li had returned to China following the slaying of Tong Shao, a 20-year-old

Chinese national whose body was found Sept.

26. An autopsy said she ’d Xiangnan Li been asphyxiated and authorities said she had been killed after a weekend with Li at a motel in Nevada, Iowa. Shao was reported missing on Sept. 17 in Ames, where she was an international student at Iowa State University.

Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness told The Des Moines Regis-

intentional homicide includes the death penalty, life imprisonment and imprisonment over 10 years.

Iowa authorities had said Li was a person of interest in the investigation, but he returned to China before he could be questioned. Iowa City police officials contacted Chinese officials, and soon the Criminal Investigation Bureau of China and police in Zhejiang Province opened an investigation.

Iowa officials said a team of Chinese investigators came to Iowa in early June to join Iowa police and prosecutors in their investigation.

Raising healthy children in a fast paced world

1.) Visit newtondailynews.com

Newton Daily News Nobody ever said that raising a child was going to be simple. With the ever increasing demands of “adulthood,” it is easy to find ourselves looking for an escape from the stressors that surround us. At times, these escapes may come in the form of drinking alcohol. The question is how much is too much and how can this impact our children?

We live in a society where alcohol is everywhere.

We see images of it at the gas pumps, on table tents at our local restaurants, driving down the streets on billboard signs, we even hear about alcohol on our favorite songs. This exposure has an impact on what and how much we drink. It also plays a major role in our children’s perception of alcohol.

When does our drinking cross the line? According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, “binge drinking is a pattern of drinking that brings blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels to 0.08 g/dL. This typically occurs after four drinks for women and five drinks for men — in about two hours.” If this number reflects you or a loved one’s pattern of drinking, you may want to consider how this can impact not only you but your children.

Kids are like sponges and you are the water they are trying to soak up. Your actions and behaviors tell your child what is appropriate and acceptable. It is important, for you as a parent, to set realistic limits and model positive and healthy behaviors. The choices you make today will in some way, shape, form or impact your child’s future.

We are here to help. If you would like to schedule a free substance abuse prevention presentation or would like to hear more about the prevention efforts in your local area contact Katie Bee, CPS at 515471-2327 or via email at kbee@efr.org.

ter that Iowa authorities want Li to be returned to the U.S. for trial, but that the United States and China don’t have an extradition treaty.

“That’s the only way we could have him prosecuted — to have the Chinese do it themselves, because they will not extradite anyone back from China,” Lyness said.

The Criminal Investigation Bureau of China said that under Chinese criminal law, Chinese citizens are subject to Chinese prosecution for any crimes they commit abroad.

Area students named to Buena Vista University dean’s list STORM LAKE — The following students have been named to the Buena Vista University Graduate & Professional Studies dean’s list at for terms three and four: Brianna Meyer, of Newton; Debbie Morrison, of Newton; Teresa Rhone, of Newton; Kyle Swihart, of Newton; Jerry Roby, of Baxter; Daniel Cibula, of Kellogg; Jarica White, of Kellogg; Dalton Cooper, of Monroe; Morgan Vander Molen, of Sully; and Taylor Vos, of Sully.

All students attend the Buena Vista University Graduate & Professional Studies Newton location.

Bjelland graduates from Grinnell College AP Photo Pope Francis, left, talks with Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, at the Vatican, Tuesday. Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI is leaving the Vatican for his first sojourn since retiring. He’s escaping an impending heat wave by heading to the papal summer residence at Castel Gandolfo. Pope Francis bid Benedict farewell Tuesday morning.

Pope in US to meet with homeless, prisoners and immigrants The Associated Press VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis will meet with homeless people, immigrants and prisoners during his upcoming trip to Cuba and the United States. He’ll also preside over a meeting about religious liberty — a major issue for the U.S. Catholic Church in the wake of the Supreme Court’s gay marriage decision.

The Vatican published the itinerary Tuesday for the eagerly awaited Sept. 19-28 visit.

Francis added the Cuba leg onto the start of his U.S. trip at the last minute after helping contribute to the historic thaw in U.S.-Cuba relations.

In Cuba, he’ll celebrate Mass in Revolution Square in Havana — as both of his predecessors did during their trips to the Caribbean island nation. He’ll travel to Holguin and pray before the Virgin of Charity of Cobre, the patron of Cuba, and meet with Cuban families in the eastern city of Santiago.

Francis arrives Sept. 22 at An-

drews Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., and the next day will be welcomed on the South Lawn of the White House by President Barack Obama, the Vatican said.

He will become the first pope to address the U.S. Congress on Sept. 24, and will meet with homeless people later in the day at a local parish, St. Patrick’s. He’ll give America a new saint by canonizing the 18th-century Spanish missionary Junipero Serra at the National Shrine.

On Sept. 25, Francis will deliver a speech on sustainable development at the United Nations, where he’ll have another opportunity to voice his concerns about the environment ahead of makeor-break climate negotiations in Paris later this year.

He’ll host an interfaith gathering at Ground Zero in New York and meet with children and immigrant families on the other end of Manhattan, in Harlem.

While St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI celebrated Mass in Yankee Stadium during their New York visits, Francis will celebrate

Mass for a slightly smaller crowd in Madison Square Garden, and preside over a vespers service at the newly spruced-up St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

On Sept. 26, he heads to Philadelphia where he will join the church’s World Meeting of Families. He will host a “meeting for religious liberty” on Independence Mall with immigrants and the Hispanic community, the Vatican itinerary said.

U.S. Catholic bishops have been decrying what they say are attacks on religious liberty for years, particularly over federal health care laws that require insurance coverage for contraception. Their latest rallying cry has come in the wake of the Supreme Court decision declaring that same-sex marriage is legal nationwide.

Francis will visit prisoners at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility in Philadelphia before celebrating the final Mass of the family meeting on Sept. 27.

He returns to the Vatican on Sept. 28.

GRINNELL — Jazmine Bjelland, of Newton, has earned a bachelor of arts degree in English from Grinnell College on May 18.

She is among the 375 members of the class of 2015.

Bjelland is the child of Leslie C. Bjelland and Mark Rosenberger, of Newton.

McMillan award Principal Financial Group scholarship Newton Daily News The Des Moines Area Community College Foundation has awarded six students with the Principal Financial Group Scholarship. Matthew McMillan, of Newton, was one of the six recepients awarded $1,500.

“The Principal Financial Group’s support demonstrates the value of the education and training provided at DMACC,” DMACC Foundation Executive Director Tara Connolly said. “The relationship allows DMACC to align itself with a well-respected company in the financial industry and showcase the quality of a DMACC education.”

The Principal Financial Group has made an ongoing commitment to scholarships in the fields of accounting, business administration, computer network administration and management.

Three of the scholarship recipients are enrolled at DMACC’s Urban Des Moines Campus and three are at the DMACC Boone Campus.

Will latest inflammatory comments tarnish Trump’s brand?

The Associated Press NEW YORK — Is Donald Trump’s business empire as Teflon-coated as his hair appears to be?

Trump has found himself on the receiving end of the catchphrase he made famous on his reality show “The Apprentice” — “You’re fired!” — after NBC dumped the real estate mogul Monday over comments he made about immigrants during his recent presidential campaign kickoff speech.

Trump, known for his poufy red hair and penchant for provocative remarks, has never shied away from controversy.

But as he launches his 2016 presidential bid in earnest, his latest comments — that some Mexican immigrants bring drugs and crime to the country and are rapists — offended many, were denounced by Mexican-American groups and led NBC to abruptly drop the billionaire.

Mexican media giant Televisa also said it would no longer be doing business with Trump.

The flap has some wondering if the backlash may spill over to his globe-spanning empire of real estate properties. But other experts say NBC’s dramatic action simply gives

“The Donald” more of the attention and publicity he craves.

“I think that people have come to expect this kind of behavior from Trump,” said Robert Passikoff, president of Brand Keys Inc., which monitors brand equity. “You don’t have to agree with him, but he is one of the few human brands wandering around anymore.”

Other personality-based brands have been felled by inflammatory remarks, such as Paula Deen, the celebrity chef who lost her show and endorsement deals in 2013 for making racist remarks. But Trump’s empire — and brand personality — is far bigger than Deen’s, spread across vast hotel and other real estate holdings.

Trump has said his net worth totals $8.7 billion, though Forbes magazine’s analysis of billionaires pegs it at about $4.1 billion. Here’s a look at his various holdings and how the recent controversy may affect them.

Television While TV revenues are just a small part of Trump’s billions, NBC’s decision Monday that it would no longer air the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, was the sudden end

of a long-running relationship. “The Apprentice” debuted in 2004 and was a smash, making Trump a familiar figure in many American living rooms.

In recent years its spinoff, “Celebrity Apprentice,” was a modest performer but a reliable part of NBC’s schedule as the network fought to get out of the ratings cellar. The network plans to try to continue “Celebrity Apprentice” without Trump as its colorful center, but a previous effort, 2005’s short-lived “The Apprentice: Martha Stewart,” failed to find an audience.

Despite the loss of his NBC deal, Larry Chiagouris, marketing professor at Pace University in New York, said it’s likely that after his presidential bid winds down that Trump will wind up with a show on another network.

“I bet you’ll see a Trump brand show of some kind on CBS or ABC or FOX,” he said. “The Trump name still brings attention and eyeballs.”

Real Estate Trump says that his ownership stakes in real estate are worth $5.3 billion, ranging from the Trump Tower in New York to the Mar-a-Lago golf club in Palm Beach, Florida. Some in the real estate industry see the impact of

his recent comments as minimal.

“This is a blip on the radar,” said Stefani Markowitz, president of the New York-based brokerage Rutenberg.

“And there is little question that his real estate holdings not only won’t be affected, but will continue to rise.”

Others say Trump’s comments about Mexicans and other ethnic groups could hurt him in closing real estate deals in the future. Don Peebles, a real estate developer with a $5 billion portfolio of properties, said he vehemently disagrees with Trump’s comments and said government officials involved in public-private partnerships might be wary of conducting business with Trump.

Real estate moguls such as the Sultan of Brunei have lost business due to their political views. Last year, many celebrities and entertainment industry leaders boycotted the Beverly Hills Hotel and other properties controlled by the sultan due to the tiny Southeast Asia nation’s adoption of Islamic Shariah law that called for punishing adultery, abortions and same-sex relationships with flogging and stoning.

As for Trump, Peebles said, “It’s hard to tell how long the anger lasts and whether there is a residual impact.”

Newton registers split with Indians

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News OSKALOOSA — The Newton baseball team earned a two-game split with Oskaloosa during Little Hawkeye Conference play on Monday.

The Cardinals let leads of 6-2 and 7-5 slip away but a two-hitter on the mound by Tyler Wood in the nightcap led the Cardinals to a 3-0 win after losing the opener 8-7.

“I am glad we came back and got a win in the second game, but it would have been nice to return with a sweep,” Newton coach Dustin Brisel said. “We’ll take it though.”

Wood threw his best game of the season in game two. He surrendered just two hits and walked three while striking out five. The Cardinals led 1-0 after six innings but added a pair of insurance runs in the seventh following back-to-back doubles

by Duncan Lee and Jeff Stanton.

“That was the best he has looked all year by far,” Brisel said of Wood’s pitching performance. “Everything was working tonight. He hit his spots and threw very well.”

The Cardinals managed only four hits of their own in the game two win. Stanton led the way with a hit, a run and two walks. Lee had a hit, a run and an RBI, while Michael Barr had one hit and two walks. Drew Stout also had a hit and scored a run.

Raiders use small ball to prevail over Tigerhawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — Losers of nine in a row, the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter baseball team was willing to try anything to get back into the win column Monday against Colfax-Mingo.

And prior to batting practice Monday, the Raiders had a players-only meeting to figure out how to break through with a win.

Whatever was said behind the scenes must have helped some because CMB managed to claim a 4-1 win despite collecting just one hit at the plate.

Colfax-Mingo junior Colin Lourens allowed a hit to Hunter McWhirter in the second inning, but all four runs scored against the Tigerhawks’ ace came on outs or a wild pitch.

CMB got four strong innings from Seth Balke and three powerful innings of relief from Brady Stover as the Raider duo held the Tigerhawks to one hit and one walk and two other C-M base runners reached on errors.

“I don’t ever remember winning a game with just one hit,” CMB coach Max Seeman said. “It comes down to executing with guys in scoring position.

Sometimes you just have to put the ball in play. That’s what happened tonight.”

With both teams throwing their top pitchers, a low

scoring affair was certainly possible.

Lourens was making his second start of the season, and he improved his mechanics from his first outing and did what he could to keep Colfax-Mingo in the game.

He allowed one hit, walked five, hit CMB’s Creighton Caple twice and allowed three earned runs in dropping to 0-2.

“I felt good about what he was doing. He didn’t have his mechanics where they needed to be in his first start of the season but

he figured it out tonight,” Colfax-Mingo coach Seth Milledge said.

The Tigerhawks (2-17 overall, 0-14 in HOIC) and Raiders split two games last year. Lourens was the winning pitcher in the C-M victory and he allowed two hits in that one. Balke was the losing pitcher, but Milledge said he saw a different pitcher Monday.

“I thought we would hit Balke a little better than we did, but he has gotten a lot better from last year,” Milledge said. “His command is a lot better. We got

on him last year and won here. Colin threw a 2-hitter in that game. I feel good about what we did and I think we are two evenly matched teams.”

The Raiders (6-12, 6-8) did not have the services of five starters and six total players last week during a large portion of the ninegame losing streak. Brad Ritter, Spencer Gauch, Brady Kemp, Nate Bishop and Brady Ross were among the players who were on a missions trip last SMALL | 3B

This & That

Back from vacation and to reality of the grind It’s not often sports writers can find too many gaps for vacation days throughout the year. If we wait until the seasons are not going, the options are very limited.

That didn’t sit well with my wife’s family when we were all trying to decide when to go on our bi-annual vacation.

My pick was end of July and early August right after summer sports end and just before fall sports begin.

That wasn’t a popular choice with the family, and it was a By Troy Hyde more difficult time to Newton Daily reserve rooms at the News timeshare in our de- Sports Writer sired location.

So, like in most situations, the wife’s wishes won out.

So for two days last week and last weekend, I was MIA from work. And this week, the boss is out of town.

Don’t worry, we’ll be back at it as a team and ready to rock and roll when the postseason begins next week.

I can’t say I feel refreshed. Four days isn’t a ton of time but it was good to get away and just detach from my every day life.

We were able to take our 2.5-yearold daughter to the Dixie Stampede, which is Dolly Parton’s dinner show in Branson. It was a good family show and as long my daughter enjoys it, then it’s a successful night to me.

We also got to cruise around the city in limo. That wasn’t as fun as I had hoped but mainly because the air wasn’t working right. And it was way hotter in Branson than it was in Iowa.

The final full day I was in town, we hit up Table Rock Lake and rented a boat.

That was really fun. And my arm strength got put to the test when I decided to jump on a tube a couple times. What a blast that was.

The family got to stay until Saturday, but I left Wednesday to return home. And as fun as vacation is, I was happy to be back. I enjoy normal life and don’t like to veer too far away from my routine.

I was bummed on Friday when my first chance to see the Newton baseball team and former player now head coach Dustin Brisel was rained out.

I’ll get the chance to see the Cardinals at their doubleheader this week.

That will take me down memory lane a bit as I spent a good two-plus years covering the team when Brisel was playing.

There’s a game every night somewhere to cover this week. But things are always much more challenging when it’s just one person handling all the duties. Wish me luck.

As someone who has followed the NBA since I was in high school, I was excited to see my Minnesota Timberwolves put together a package that got them two first-round picks at last week’s draft.

I like Karl-Anthony Towns and, as someone who has rooted for Duke basketball since he was in grade school. I really liked the Tyus Jones pick.

I think the Wolves got two players who want to be in Minnesota and are paired with two other stars in Andrew Wiggins and Ricky Rubio who are anxious to turn the franchise around.

Get ready. the Wolves will be relevant again. Maybe not next year but soon.

LeBron James opted out of his contract with the Cavaliers. Don’t make too much of that though. He’s not going anywhere.

I didn’t think Kevin Love would stay in Cleveland, but after him and LeBron met out in California last week, it looks like I could be wrong.

I would like to see what the Cavs can do in the playoffs with a healthy James, Love and Kyrie Irving.

That should be interesting to watch if Love decides to stay.

Hopefully we get some games in this week.

The rain hasn’t been too kind lately. The farmers aren’t happy I am sure.

There is a such thing, to me, as too much rain. We are at that point.

Badgers coach Bo Ryan to retire after next season Bo Ryan has been the fire-breathing face of Wisconsin basketball for 14 seasons, pushing the Badgers to never-before-seen heights.

After 14 NCAA Tournament appearances, seven Sweet 16s, four Big Ten titles, two Final Fours and a berth in last year’s national championship game, the hardcharging 67-year-old Ryan has only one more season left in him.

Ryan surprised the college basketball world Monday when he announced that he plans to retire after next season as he looks to pass the torch after molding the Badgers into a national power. And were it not for some cajoling from Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez, Ryan said he would have called it a career in April after the Badgers lost to Duke in the national title game.

Anderson flirts with perfection in Indians win over Rays ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Rookie Cody Anderson took a bid for a perfect game into the seventh inning in his second major league start, and the struggling Cleveland Indians snapped a three-game losing streak with a 7-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night.

Anderson (1-0) didn’t allow a base runner until Grady Sizemore homered against his old team on a 1-2 pitch with one out in the seventh.

Evan Longoria followed with a single before the 24-year-old right-hander settled to retire the last four batters he faced.

Yan Gomes had three hits, including a solo homer in the eighth for the Indians, who limped into town after being shut out in both games of a doubleheader at Baltimore on Sunday.

Michael Brantley also had three hits, including a RBI single, and Jason Kipnis drove in a run off rookie Nathan Karns (4-4) with one of his three hits.

Astros 6, Royals 1 HOUSTON (AP) — Chris Carter and Jose Altuve homered to back a solid start by rookie Lance McCullers, and Houston beat Kansas City.

In a matchup of teams with the best records in the American League, Houston snapped Kansas City’s four-game winning streak. The Royals are 44-29 and the Astros are 4534.

McCullers (4-2) allowed four hits and a run with six strikeouts in seven innings in his ninth major league start.

The Astros jumped on Joe Blanton (2-1) for five runs in the first three innings and Carter added a solo home run in the fifth to help them to the win.

Angels 4, Yankees 1 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Mike Trout and C.J. Cron homered, Albert Pujols and Kole Calhoun added run-scoring doubles, and Los Angeles beat New York for its fifth victory in seven games.

Trout hit his 20th homer of the season in the third inning against CC Sabathia (3-8).

The reigning AL MVP also saved a couple of runs with two sprinting catches in center field on balls hit over his head

by Chris Young.

C.J. Wilson (6-6) persevered through six eventful innings for his third victory in four starts as the Angels (4037) moved three games above .500 for the first time since June 2.

Alex Rodriguez drove in a run and Brett Gardner had three hits for the Yankees, who have lost six of nine.

Red Sox 3, Blue Jays 1 TORONTO (AP) — Clay Buchholz pitched eight strong innings to win his third straight start, Xander Bogaerts drove in two runs and Boston beat Toronto.

Buchholz (6-6) improved to 10-3 with a 2.21 ERA in 15 career starts in Toronto as the Red Sox won back-to-back games for the first time since June 19.

The Blue Jays have scored a major league-leading 421 runs but have totaled just four in their past three games.

Buchholz allowed one run and five hits in matching his longest outing of the season.

He’s won four straight decisions since losing at Minnesota on May 26.

Koji Uehara finished for his 17th save.

Athletics 7, Rockies 1 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Josh Reddick and Ike Davis hit two-run homers in the first inning to back seven scoreless innings from Kendall Graveman, and Oakland snapped a three-game losing streak by beating Colorado.

Billy Butler also homered off David Hale (2-3) and scored three runs as power-starved Oakland matched its season high for homers.

The power barrage helped the A’s bounce back after getting swept in a three-game series

by Kansas City to open a 10game homestand.

Graveman (5-4) was the

beneficiary of the big night from the bats, shutting down Nolan Arenado and the Rockies for his latest strong start since returning from the minors.

Rangers 8, Orioles 1 BALTIMORE (AP) — Mitch Moreland hit two of the Rangers’ four home runs off Bud Norris, and Texas got another winning effort on the road from left-hander Wandy Rodriguez in a victory over Baltimore.

Moreland hit a solo shot in the second inning and a tworun drive in the fourth.

It was his sixth career two-homer game, the first since May 2013.

Carlos Corporan and ShinSoo Choo added solo homers to help Texas secure its second win in nine games. The four home runs tied a season high, set April 9 in Oakland.

Joey Gallo contributed a three-run triple for the Rangers, who had lost 11 of 12 to the Orioles — including six straight at Camden Yards.

The loss ended Baltimore’s four-game winning streak and dropped the Orioles to 18-9 in June, 10-2 at home.

Reds 11, Twins 7 CINCINNATI (AP) — Billy Hamilton scored three times in the first three innings to help Cincinnati open a huge lead, and the Reds held on against Minnesota.

The Reds sent 10 batters to the plate for five runs and a 9-1 lead in the third inning, when Mike Pelfrey (5-5) failed to retire any of the four batters he faced. Pelfrey gave up eight runs — matching his season high — and nine hits, retiring only six of 17 batters.

Cincinnati’s Mike Leake let most of the lead slip away. Ten Twins batted during a six-run rally in the top of the fourth inning. Brian Dozier’s threerun homer off Leake cut it to 9-7.

Nate Adcock (1-1) got the victory with two scoreless innings in relief of Leake.

Brewers 7, Phillies 4 PHILADELPHIA (AP)

— Jonathan Lucroy had four of the Brewers’ season high-tying 16 hits and drove in two runs, leading Milwaukee to a victory over Philadelphia in a matchup of the two worst teams in baseball.

Ryan Braun had three hits with a double and an RBI, and Adam Lind and Aramis Ramirez each had a pair of RBIs for the Brewers, who have won five of seven.

Cesar Hernandez had a pair of hits and an RBI for Philadelphia.

The Phillies fell to a major league-worst 27-51 hours after the Phillies introduced Andy MacPhail as the new man in charge of the club.

The veteran baseball executive joined the Phillies with plans to take over as team president after this season.

Diamondbacks 10, Dodgers 6 PHOENIX (AP) — Welington Castillo doubled home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, and Arizona pulled off a pair of comebacks to beat Los Angeles.

Castillo doubled against reliever Pedro Baez (1-1) to drive in Jake Lamb with none out. The Diamondbacks, who trailed 4-0 and 6-4, added three more runs in the inning on a bunt single, a throwing error by Baez, and Paul Goldschmidt’s two-out, two-run single off J.P. Howell.

Arizona tied it at 4 on a two-run homer by Yasmany Tomas in the sixth. The Dodgers regained the lead in the seventh on a two-run single

by Jimmy Rollins, but the Diamondbacks fought back again with David Peralta’s two-out, two-run triple in the bottom half.

Enrique Burgos (1-2) worked a scoreless eighth for the win.

Andre Ethier, Yasmani Grandal and Joc Pederson hit solo home runs for Los Angeles in the fourth. Ethier and Grandal went back-to-back.

Small Continued from Page 1B week, and Seeman sat them out one last game Monday.

That is the main reason he used Balke and Stover on the mound for the second straight game.

“We definitely wanted to get back into the win column,” Bishop said. “We haven’t had a whole lot of options with those guys gone on the trip. It came down to just not having too many guys to use on the mound.”

Balke started the game and struck out five in his four innings of work.

The run was earned and he surrendered a single to Jonathan Jacobs in the third and that hit produced the Tigerhawks’ only run of the game.

Stover earned the three-inning save after allowing no hits, no runs and no walks.

Jimmy Camp reached on an error fifth but was stranded on third after Stover struck out the side. He fanned eight of the nine batters he faced in the game.

“He has all the velocity in the world. If you can disrupt his rhythm a little bit, you can have success though,” Milledge said.

“We have to get our hands going.

We were late on his fastball. He’s a talent though. There’s no doubt about that.”

McWhirter singled to lead of the second and then Aric Broderck walked. Caple moved both runners up a base after a sacrifice bunt.

Tyler Lindemoen drove in the first run on a squeeze bunt and then Broderick scored on a wild pitch.

Caple was hit by a pitch in the fourth, and he eventually scored

Badgers Continued from Page 2B “I’ve always been told that is not a decision to be made right after a season is completed,” Ryan said in a statement issued by the school. “Barry thankfully encouraged me to take some time to think about it and I have done that.”

Ryan said it is his hope that longtime Badgers assistant Greg Gard is chosen to succeed him.

The associate head coach has been on Ryan’s staff dating to 1993, when the two were at Division III Wisconsin-Platteville.

on a bases-loaded RBI groundout by Bryce Bacon.

Balke walked, stole second, went to third on an error and then scored on McWhirter’s sacrifice fly to right field.

“It’s been tough on me and all of these guys,” Seeman said.

“They had a player meeting before batting practice. I wasn’t at it. They kept it alive in the dugout, which I think helped. They did a few things I didn’t like, and I talked to them about that, but having those older guys here and in the dugout helped, too.”

Colfax-Mingo scored its only run in the third. Gabe Simpson walked, stole second, went to third on an error and then was plated by Jacobs’ RBI single.

It’s shocking. If it’s the best decision for him and if it will make him happy, then so be it.

It’s going to be different seeing a different coach on the sideline, that’s for sure.”

Whoever gets the job has some big shoes to fill.

The silver-haired Ryan is the Badger program, stomping up and down the sideline, barking at referees and pushing Wisconsin to national power status with a brand of basketball that was often much more physical than flashy.

Ryan is 357-125 (.741) as coach of the Badgers and has taken the program to the NCAA Tournament in every one of his seasons on the bench.

The Badgers reached a crest over the last two seasons, topping last year’s Final Four run by beating undefeated Kentucky in the national semifinals this season before losing to Duke.

“I am looking forward to another year with our program, including our players, my terrific assistant coaches, our office staff and everyone who supports Wisconsin basketball here in Madison, around the state and across the country,” Ryan said.

half of the seventh. Mitchell Shaffner doubled in the first run and then Alex DeJong tied it with an RBI single.

Then, with the bases loaded and two outs, TJ Boyle came through with a game-winning, walk-off RBI single.

All three seventh-inning runs came with two outs.

“We kind of let that first one go,” Brisel said. “That hurt. I felt comfortable with a 7-5 lead heading into the final at-bat but we let it slip away.

IndyCar must balance daredevil vs. dangerous racing Newton Daily News NASCAR returns this week to Daytona International Speedway, where 43 drivers are likely to race bumper to bumper for 400 white-knuckle miles.

Very few of them will enjoy the race. Fans will most likely love every moment.

IndyCar finds itself in the same situation following one of its most breathtaking races in recent memory.

The open-wheel series on Saturday staged a sensational 500-miler that featured an IndyCar-record 80 lead changes as drivers made moves that bordered on the absurd. Cars slid into gaps that put drivers five-wide across the track at times. Auto Club Speedway found itself hosting a race that rivaled NASCAR’s version of Daytona or Talladega.

Fans watching on television — and that’s where they were watching because there couldn’t have been much more than 5,000 people in the stands in Fontana, California — used social media to marvel at what they were watching.

The drivers, though, were less than pleased with the product.

Most of IndyCar’s top stars lambasted the racing and series officials for putting together a rules package that created pack racing. The complaints were loud and came from reigning series champion Will Power and Indianapolis 500 winner Juan Pablo Montoya, who warned a day earlier that the conditions were ripe for dangerous racing.

Something to consider: Montoya is widely considered to be fearless. He has touched wheels with Michael Andretti at 230 mph racing for a win, shoved his car inside of Michael Schumacher’s when there was no room and once crashed into a jet dryer, igniting a massive fireball and yet walking away. When that guy says the racing is inching toward too dangerous, he is probably correct.

There is no simple fix for IndyCar, which seemingly only draws eyeballs anymore during times of crisis.

The series was square in the spotlight a month ago after three cars went airborne during preparation for the Indianapolis 500. A fourth accident nearly killed driver James Hinchcliffe, who didn’t go airborne but was saved from bleeding to death after a broken part pierced his thigh.

It created a buildup for the Indy 500 that drew the casual spectator to the television to

They scored three runs in each of the last two innings.

At some point, you need to shut it down.”

Oskaloosa out-hit the Cardinals 14-7 in the nightcap.

Stanton led Newton with two hits, two runs and two RBIs. Wood had one hit, two runs, an RBI and three walks.

Stanton was 3-for-6 with three runs, two RBIs and two walks on the night.

“He has been hitting the ball hard all year, but we final-

see if cars really would fly during “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” It’s no coincidence that the Indy 500 drew a higher television rating than NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 for the first time in 10 years.

Those who watched did not see cars fly through the air, but were treated to an intense and competitive race.

The problem? IndyCar hasn’t figured out how to sustain any momentum and the four races that followed Indy failed to produce the same entertainment.

Particularly disheartening was the June 6 snoozefest at Texas, where the action on the oval lacked any of the excitement fans had seen two weeks earlier.

There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground when it comes to IndyCar and oval track racing, and ovals were the bread and butter of this series when it was created in 1994. Indy, Texas and Fontana could not have been more different this year, and series officials can’t seem to figure out how to find a rules package that works for every oval.

The result on Saturday was loved by the fans and hated by the drivers — many of them present at the 2011 season finale when Dan Wheldon was killed in a horrific accident just minutes after the start.

Wheldon’s death has left a deep scar on the series and made his close friends wary of pack racing. What infuriates them even more is that they warned IndyCar prior to that Las Vegas race that conditions were too dangerous and felt they were ignored.

So when they spoke out Saturday, sure, some of it was emotional. It immediately led to sniping — from fans who felt the drivers were being whiney and even from fellow driver Ed Carpenter, who suggested on Twitter that his peers who don’t like close racing should retire.

The Las Vegas memories have created two distinct sides in this debate.

Team owner Chip Ganassi had four cars finish in the top eight Saturday and didn’t understand what all the fuss was about. He also stressed that the drivers are in control of their actions on the track.

“Nobody wants to see anyone get hurt — (but) you can’t touch wheels with open-wheel cars and for some reason these drivers think you can do that,” he said. “I think somebody needs to sit the drivers down and tell them they’ve got to stop chopping guys and stop touching wheels and stop racing every lap like it’s the last lap.”

ly found some holes tonight,” Brisel said. “He had a good night.”

Next up for the Cardinals is a home doubleheader against Class 3A No. 1 Pella at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The game against Grinnell at home Tuesday has been postponed again due to a scheduling conflict.
