Practice laps for the NCWTS race and the IndyCar race are Friday.

Sukup Pole Day is Friday when the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and Verizon IndyCar Series drivers qualify for each of their respective races. Sukup Manufacturing Company is the Iowa Speedway official pole-day sponsor this weekend.

IndyCar presented the first major series race at Iowa Speedway in 2007.

Since that time, the race brings the premier openwheel racing stars to Iowa. Last year’s IndyCar Series race winner in Iowa was James Hinchcliffe.

Iowa Speedway is the shortest track on the In-

dyCar schedule, being .875 miles long.

In 2013, James Hinchcliffe passed Will Power on the first lap for the lead, and proceeded to dominate the race, leading all but 24 laps, a track-record 226 laps. He had led only 33 laps on ovals prior to the race.

Hinchcliffe’s teammate Ryan Hunter-Reay fell behind with early right front car damage early in the race and was in 21st but was able to reach second although slowed by lapped cars. Hinchcliffe beat Hunter-Reay to the finish by 1.509 seconds, giving Andretti Autosport its second consecutive 1-2 finish at the track.

Andretti Autosport drivers have won five of the seven races at Iowa.

It should be an unforgettable weekend with Tim capping off both major events.”

Alternative Program, or DAP. The district developed this new program to serve two purposes: to save money and ensure that even its most trouble students are still being given a proper education.

The Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau has developed and is sponsoring, in collaboration with the Get To Know Newton committee, a new and fun way to get the word out about Newton: a scavenger hunt.

The newly created Get To Know Newton Charity Scavenger Hunt will take place at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, July 31, in Newton, in an continued efforts to market the community message.

“The scavenger hunt is a great way to market our community, and in the process help support the cause of a charity or nonprofit with the winning team taking home a check for $1,500,” Newton CVB Executive Director Linda Bacon said.

The scavenger hunt is open to teams of four that will want to have good directional skills, a camera or phone with a camera, something to keep track of time and a vehicle to navigate around town. The registration fee is $25 per team.

The Newton CVB and Get To Know Newton committee decided the event was another way they could promote the community, not only to prospective visitors but

The investigation started around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, after the woman’s body was found in the middle of a road. Authorities say the death was suspicious and that the woman had several injuries.

The woman’s name hasn’t been released. Online court records don’t list any new charges against the man.

On The Z-Train

The Cheat Sheet for Life I am not a big fan of most teachers, and certainly a screaming majority of the ones I had growing up. Teachers only stood in the way of my desire to grow up and become the person I wanted to be. So even from an early age I worked against them in every grade I miraculously managed to pass.

In the 13 years I traveled through the congested bowels of the education system, I honed the unique and distinct ability of subverting and sabotaging the aims of teachers. My more formidable years were more like an apprenticeship in dirty tactics, half-baked schemes that somehow By Will E. Sanders Creators Syndicate always worked like a charm and last, but certainly not least, cheating.

In the seventh grade I had an English teacher named Mr. Marcum. To me, he was just another mark, like every teacher before that and after.

On the first day of school that year in 1993 he recited a melodramatic monologue of caution to the class about cheating. Belaboring the point and his arms flailing high into the air like a fire and brimstone preacher, Mr. Marcum stated nobody had ever cheated in his class without getting caught.

“And nobody ever will,” he scolded whilst baring his fangs to the classroom as horns sprouted from his hairline.

A gross embellishment?

Yes, perhaps I am being slightly dramatic, but only slightly.

Each Friday we would have a spelling and definition test on 20 words he spent the week attempting to hammer into our nescient brains.

He tried teaching all of us ridiculous sounding words and definitions — words like belaboring, whilst and nescient — that I just knew back then I would never use.

Ever.

To a rebellious young slacker with an everpresent and deep-seated contempt for authority, I took Mr. Marcum’s Shakespearian tale of caution as more of a dare than a warning.

Challenge accepted.

That’s how I took it.

I knew from that moment on I was going to cheat in Mr. Marcum’s class. In fact, my mind immediately began to reel with deceit, dishonesty and duplicity as soon as he gave the cheating speech.

I didn’t cheat because I was dumb. Dumb people can’t cheat because dumb people get caught. Everybody knows that (except dumb people).

Cheating is such a dirty word, too. Cheating is nothing except outsmarting your opponent. In 99 percent of life’s situations, one succeeds from outsmarting his or her opponent.

But everyone always wants to get on their high horse and proclaim that cheating is bad.

My ruse to cheat in Mr. Marcum’s class was pretty ingenious, if you must know. It wasn’t the greatest caper I ever pulled, but it’s certainly noteworthy.

Of the 20 words we were to learn for each test, I would always have a problem remembering a few on the list. So I wrote those words down, along with a brief definition, on a super small piece of index card, which I had taped to the end of my belt.

Each time I was stumped with a word that I knew I would never use — like subterfuge — I would bend my belt upward in an impressive display of sleight of hand and subterfuge.

Even now I look back at those tests and I think they were silly. When I don’t know the correct way to spell a word or I need a definition as an adult I just look it up in the dictionary. Is that cheating? Should I not be using the dictionary to spell and define words correctly, or should I just be going off of memory?

Mr. Marcum never caught me cheating that year, and for all I know I am the only one to ever get away with it.

It is only now in this caffeinated state of clarity that I come to fully understand that Mr. Marcum was the one who bested me.

His endeavor was to educate children about words and to make them care about words.

At the end of the day that is exactly what he accomplished with me — and he didn’t even need to cheat to do it.

Behind every man...

This week, I can’t help but to think about an old summer camp that is going on this week at Grinnell College called Summer Games University. Besides the lessons I learned about faith, it was a time I learned how to truly listen to a woman.

T h i s week, my goal has been to keep camp off my mind, but I failed on Monday during a conversation with a reader.

By Zach Johnson He gave me Staff Writer a compliment for being a great self-made man, and I thanked him and went along with my day.

Later on, I got into my car, and as my radio came on, an old classic song from my favorite music group Sawyer Brown called “Thank God for You” was

playing. After the countrified jam session in my car, I started to think back to the compliment the reader gave me about being a great self-made man. It was nice.

But don’t get me wrong — it’s far from the truth.

The song starts with the lyrics “Well, I been called a self-made man, girl don’t you believe it’s true.” It goes without saying that I don’t really talk about myself to many people, so it would seem to be true on the surface, but my Newton family runs deep and wide.

My thoughts drifted for a bit until during the day I found myself in a discussion with a friend about men, women and relationships. The cliché comment came up: “Behind every man is a strong woman.” Immediately after she made her comment, choosing my words wisely, I said, “Not every man.”

After saying those words, I had a feeling my mother opened up the clouds from heaven and

gave me a smack upside my head.

I thought about it, and of course she was right. I found myself thinking about the guys I encounter on a normal day and came to the conclusion that 99 percent of the strong men I knoew have a a strong woman involved in their day-to-day lives.

After picking myself up after the beating of that conversation, I thought I was good for the rest of the day until sitting down to watch my favorite show “24: Live Another Day.” I heard one of my best female friends obtain her own quote and words of wisdom with “Never mess with a woman on a mission.”

I found myself thinking about the women who have made me the man I am today. I am certain I am responsible for some gray hair and deserving of many smacks upside the head, as I am at times a pain in the butt. I can admit these women and more have changed me, but in the end I am still my own man.

Letters to the Editor

Park board thanks local residents for making Fourth of July special To the editor: The Newton Park Board would like to thank everyone for helping make this year’s Fourth of July Fireworks event a success. It would be hard to not thank Mother Nature, first. We could not have asked for a better day for all the fun city-wide activities.

Secondly, we would like to thank our dedicated park staff for getting everything prepared for the great event. Even with the extra work associated with last Monday’s storm, the staff had each and every park along with the Union Cemetery looking beautiful for all to enjoy over the long weekend.

Next we would like to thank those that volunteered at the fireworks event. We certainly would not have been able to host such a great event without your help. A special thanks goes out to the Newton Wellness Coalition and the newly formed Friends of the Newton Parks group (you will be hearing more from this exciting new group in the coming weeks) for all their hard work that night. We would also like to thank Fareway for donating watermelon to the event; the Newton YMCA, Jasper County Con-

Skiff Medical Center creates $27 million impact on local economy To the editor: Skiff Medical Center is a good example of something that is so vital a part of our immediate environment that it is easy to take for granted. Yet, its excellence is enormously important to our community and region.

Having a first-rate medical center close at hand is essential to the quality of life of every Jasper County resident. The presence in our community of a superb medical facility also makes Newton more competitive as it seeks the economic growth that is so important to the future of the city and region. It’s no secret that two of the factors that are of critical importance in corporate decisionmaking about site selection are the quality of a town’s schools and the ready availability of comprehensive, top-quality health care.

Consequently, it is no exaggeration to assert that Skiff ’s excellence helps Newton achieve its dreams for tomorrow.

But there’s more to the story.

A 2013 survey by the Iowa Hospital Association documented that the Hawkeye State’s 118 community hospitals have an enormous economic impact. According to IHA, annually Iowa’s hospitals provide more than 71,000 jobs and pay in excess of $4 billion in salaries and benefits. That puts hospitals collectively among the largest nonagricultural employers. And that’s just direct employment.

When one adds in the additional jobs in communities across the state that exist because of hospital spending and the dollars spent by their employees, the IHA estimates that about just short of 130,000 jobs are tied directly or indirectly to the

hospital industry. The overall economic impact on the state’s economy is calculated to be approximately $6 billion a year.

Here in Newton, Skiff generates about 350 jobs and adds nearly $27 million to the county’s economy, also according to the IHA report.

But the impact is even greater than that. Skiff employees support Newton and surrounding businesses to the tune of $6.8 million being spent on Main Street. Hospital employees pay taxes that support schools, roads, parks and other vital infrastructure. Again for Skiff, that’s $411,105 in just sales taxes.

But Skiff is more than jobs, income, retail sales and tax revenue. And it’s even more than the high quality health care that is provided there every hour of every day.

Think of the hundreds of employees who work at the hospital and what they bring to the community at our schools, churches and volunteer groups. Think of the many young professionals who come here to start a career at the hospital and stay because in a rural community, hospitals are still one of the best places to grow a career.

Think of how they build homes, start families, strengthen neighborhoods and put down roots. Think of how important — and challenging — that is for any community in Iowa in this time of rural “brain drain.”

There are many reasons to take pride in Skiff. It’s no exaggeration to assert that its success contributes mightily to the ability of our town and region to thrive. Not only is it vital to the health of people who live here and in surrounding counties, but it also contributes to the ability of Newton and nearby towns to prosper economically.

Steve Long Skiff Medical Center President and CEO

Race Continued from Page 1A Coming into Saturday’s Iowa Corn Indy 300, it is Team Penske with the hottest drivers.

Power and Helio Castroneves are tied atop the Verizone IndyCar Series point standings with 446 points. Then factor in Juan Pablo Montoya, who raced in the first race at Iowa Speedway — an ARCA race in 2006. Montoya is fourth in points at 391.

Hunter-Reay, who won the Iowa Corn Indy race in 2012, sits at No. 5 in the points race. He is the 2014 Indianapolis 500 winner. Last year’s winner at Iowa, Hinchcliffe is 12th in points while Andretti Autosport teammate Marco Andretti, who won the Iowa race in 2011, is sitting seventh in points.

This is the first year for the IndyCar drivers to run 300 laps at Iowa Speedway.

“After last year’s IndyCar Series race, many of our loyal fans immediately took to their social media channels, sent emails, or called us to let us know they wanted more,” said Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small. “The fans asked for it, and alongside our best-in-class partners at

Iowa Corn, we delivered 50 more intense laps under the lights at the Iowa Speedway.”

Watch for 2013 IndyCar Series champion Scott Dixon to make strong statement during the Iowa Corn Indy 300 presented by DEKALB. A year ago, Castroneves set a track record in qualifying with a blistering lap of 185.687 and providing Iowa Speedway the moniker “The Fastest Short Track On The Planet.” But, no driver has won at Iowa from the pole.

Before the IndyCars are featured at Iowa Speedway Saturday, the NASCAR truck series drivers bring their brand of racing to the track. In the six years of the NCWTS American Ethanol 200, only one driver has won twice.

Timothy Peters returns to defend his back-to-back wins in the American Ethanol 200.

That was his first win of the 2013 NCWTS season, and it came in a track-record setting time. The 2013 race was the fastest truck race at Iowa Speedway in 1 hour, 38 minutes, 46 seconds with an average speed of 106.311 mph.

Peters is one of three past winners expected to run in Friday’s race at the Speedway. The oth-

Dugger Continued from Page 1A Headlining clubs and performing at other races, Dugger has amassed a loyal following of race fans, drivers, and crew chiefs. Songs of his like “Sunday Drive” and “You Know Who We Are” speak directly to motorsports and the excitement found on the track and in the stands each week.

“I can’t wait to be back,” Dugger said. “Iowa is one heck of a race track and the fans are die hard race fans, just what I like!”

Over the past few years Dugger, an Alabama-native, has performed with a wide variety of popular country artists

er two are Ryan Blaney, who won the fall truck race at Iowa in 2012, and Matt Crafton, who won in 2011.

Crafton is looming just eight points behind ThorSport Racing teammate Johnny Sauter in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series point standings.

Sauter is looking for his first win at Iowa after six top-five finishes at the Speedway. He is atop the point standings with 297 and Crafton is at 289. Peters, who drives for Red Horse Racing, is third and Blaney, who drives for Brad Keselowski Racing, is fourth.

Red Horse’s German Quiroga, the first Mexican to earn a NASCAR pole position in any series with the fastest prerace lap time, led the first 56 laps last year’s race. Also watch for Kyle Busch Motorsports teammates Erik Jones, who finished second in 2013, and Darrell Wallace Jr. to make a challenge to win at Iowa Speedway.

Both the NASCAR trucks and the Indy cars will run on ethanol in this weekend’s races.

including Trace Adkins, Sarah Evans, Diamond Rio and Craig Morgan.

Tim was featured in the Tuff TV reality show “Highway to Fame.”

Friday’s activities kick off at 8:30 a.m. with NASCAR Camping World Truck Series practice followed by Verizon IndyCar Series practice at 10 a.m. Fans are encouraged to arrive at Iowa Speedway before 6 p.m. for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series American Ethanol 200 presented

by Enogen which is slated for an 8 p.m. start.

Each team will be provided with a list of items to find and a map.

The hunt will begin with a check-in time of 5 p.m. and game time from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

“The scavenger hunt will only take an hour and a half, so it will move quickly, but very educational in the process,” said Nathan. “We don’t even think local

teams will have an advantage since the items to find all are listed by clues.”

Registration forms can be downloaded online from Newton CVB’s website, www.visitnewton.com, or picked up at the Newton CVB office at 300 E. 17th St. S. in Newton.

Traffic information for race weekend Special to the Daily News

Law enforcement and Iowa Speedway officials are preparing for the upcoming race weekend and are asking Iowans and visiting race fans to do the same. Race organizers are expecting large crowds on Friday and Saturday and are asking citizens to plan accordingly.

The Iowa State Patrol, Iowa Department of Transportation, Newton Police Department, Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office and Iowa Speedway officials are working in conjunction with a private traffic control company to erect signs and cones that will mark travel routes for fans attending the race. Officers will be working intersections along the route to ensure traffic moves in a safe and efficient manner.

Motorists traveling to and from the speedway are reminded to expect slow traffic and possible delays, obey all traffic laws, pay attention to flashing lights and signs and always follow officers’ directions. Motorists should avoid stopping on the traveled portion to ask questions unless it is an emergency. The key to safe and efficient traffic flow, with minimal delays will be a cooperative effort between the motoring public, law enforcement and speedway staff.

Designated Travel

Routes All Race Traffic on Interstate 80: Take Interstate 80 to exit 168. Take exit 168 to Speedway Drive and turn south.

Continue south on Speedway Drive and staff will direct you to the appropriate parking lot. Traffic will not be allowed to turn onto Rusty Wallace Drive from this interchange. Rusty Wallace Drive has been designated as an emergency route and will only be utilized for emergencies and to relieve traffic congestion.

When exiting the Speedway use the same route.

Newton Club Members and Suite Owners: Take Interstate 80 to exit 168 or exit 164.

If arriving from the west you are encouraged to utilize exit 164.

Exit south onto U.S. 14. Continue traveling south on U.S. 14 approximately 3.6 miles.

Turn east on South 60th Avenue. Continue east 2¼ miles and turn north on County Road S-74. Continue north 3.6 miles. Turn east on Rusty Wallace Drive, signs and staff will direct you to parking from here.

When exiting the Speedway use the same route.

Travel Tips for Race Fans • Buckle up for safety • Allow plenty of travel time • Plan on arriving early

DAP Continued from Page 1A NCSD Associate Director of Secondary Services Tina Ross said she and the secondary campus principals came up with this concept during the district’s recent financial crunch. In the past, the district had been paying Four Oaks about $212,000 a year to handle its students with more severe disciplinary issues.

“We had a huge budget deficit.

We started looking at places where we could reduce without reducing people. That was important that we kept our people under contract,” Ross said.

SY15 will serve as the pilot year for the program, and Ross said she had a short list of candidates she wanted to help launch DAP. Berg Middle School at-risk teacher Karen Hurt was one of those people and she will be transferring buildings to take part in DAP. “Obviously, the students coming to this program are at-risk — it’s a disciplinary program. Karen was a great addition because she has the right attitude: ‘The kids aren’t bad, they’re making bad choices.’ We can’t teach that kind of attitude. That attitude cannot be taught,” Ross said.

The other two transfers, Randy Young and Jennifer Wright, are coming from Newton Senior High School. Wright is a graduation coach, and Young has certifications in social studies, special education and English/language arts.

Ross feels this team’s collective abilities are very well-rounded and that by having people who’ve been at both the middle school and high school — DAP’s serves students from grades 7-12 — they can meet a majority of students needs.

She also emphasized that this program is different from Basics and Beyond Alternative School — both facilities are located on the Emerson Hough campus, but DAP is selfcontained.

“Basics’ focuses on academics, entirely on academics and getting the kids to graduation in an alternative

• Be prepared for slow or stopped traffic • Obey all traffic laws and follow signs, cones and signals • Be patient • Be courteous • Do not stop to ask directions, officers and staff will direct you • Follow directions of officers and parking staff • Be cautious and watch for pedestrians • Drink responsibly and always have a designated driver With a traffic increase of this magnitude some delays are possible near the speedway. Highways most likely to be affected are Interstate 80 near Newton at the 164 and 168 mile markers and Highway 14 south of Newton.

Officials expect traffic to be heaviest approximately two hours before and after each race. East and west bound exit ramps at the 168 interchange may be closed after the race. Also, southbound traffic on Iowa Speedway Drive at South 13th Avenue East may be closed after the race to allow for safe and efficient egress.

To avoid congested roadways and possible delays, Jasper County residents are encouraged to use alternate routes during peak traffic periods. Family members picking up speedway employees or spectators are asked to come early before the race ends so as not to get caught in the egress traffic.

format, if you will. You have different types of classes upstairs — all focusing on the Iowa Core still — but delivered in a different method,” Ross said.

“Our program, the kids are here because of disciplinary reasons, not because of academic reasons. These are the kids who are going to be potentially looking to be expelled.

These are the kids who have already been suspended three times at the high school for fighting. It’s the disciplinary side of it. Obviously, we’re still going to have the academic side of it but that’s not how they get here.

They get here because of the discipline.”

For this upcoming school year, she foresees the program starting with about five students and knows that the number may grow throughout the year. She said students who attend DAP will do so in various increments of time. Some students may need a full year and others a few days.

Although this program is going to be new, she said the district has been researching this extensively. Earlier this year, she made the trip to Omaha, Neb. to visit the boy’s home there to learn about its curriculum and discipline techniques.

Ross, along with Hurt and Wright, will make another trip to the boy’s home where they will undergo five days of training on various items.

Some things they’ll learn are how to set-up a classroom environment for students with discipline problems and how to teach corrective behaviors.

DAP will operate on the same calendar as every other Newton school. Ross admitted that DAP has had a mixed reception amongst district staff members, but that she is excited about the process and feels this is what’s best for the district.

“It’s different. It’s something that we haven’t tried before … We think we have a pretty good plan in place.”

Ross said.

FAMILY CIRCUS

Thursday, July 10, 2014

Woman thinks bride-to-be’s friendship isn’t worth the cost DEAR ABBY: My best friend is getting married and asked me to be her maid of honor. She has also asked me to buy an expensive dress, host a lavish shower I’m afraid I can’t afford and plan a destination bachelorette party. The cost will be exorbitant.

On top of this, she has asked me to be her “cover” when she lies to her fiance about where she is. She has admitted to me that she has cheated on him, and I think she’s doing it again.

I know it’s not my place to question her or tell her what to do, but this has made me hesitant to commit financially to her wedding. Should I talk to her about this? I don’t want to lose my best friend, but I also don’t want to put my money on the line for someone who isn’t being honest. — DRAGGING MY HEELS IN NEW YORK DEAR DRAGGING YOUR HEELS: Do not question your friend or tell her what to do, but DO convey to her that you can’t function as her maid of honor because you can’t afford the cost.

And the next time she asks you to cover for her, tell her you no longer want to be a party to deceiving her fiance because you’re having trouble looking him in the eye.

Your best friend sounds like a piece of work, and if it costs you the friendship you won’t have lost much. This girl lacks both judgment and character, and you’ll be better off to distance yourself. Both of you should mingle with people with whom you have more in common.

DEAR ABBY: I don’t know where to start so I will just plunge in: I have five kids by five different men. I am not a terrible person. I have a job, take care of my babies and am working toward a degree. But sometimes I feel like the ultimate loser. I get judged all the time. I’m so ashamed of the choices I have made in life. Will it ever be better? — 5 KIDS, 5 DADS IN OREGON DEAR 5-5: You will see an improvement as soon as you stop beating yourself

up over the choices you have made. No one can change the past. All we can do is learn from our mistakes and make a conscious decision not to repeat them. And as to those who judge you, they should judge not, lest they, too, be judged.

DEAR ABBY: My husband thinks we should snuggle up and sleep together even when we’re sick. I think it’s common courtesy to keep a respectable distance from loved ones and to clean up after yourself when you have a “bug” that is communicable. I need to stay as healthy as possible to keep up with the needs of our child, the housework and my job while my husband is sick. Your thoughts?

— MARRIED TO A MAN-CHILD WHO NEEDS A MOMMY DEAR MARRIED TO A MANCHILD: Your husband may think I’m heartless, but I agree with you. While he may “need” you emotionally, his rational self should accept that with a child in the house and the demands of your job, you need to stay well and functional.

His tissues, meds and a pitcher of water should be by the bed. There should be a wastebasket for his tissues. He should wash his hands before touching anything, and you should use hand sanitizer liberally. You should sleep elsewhere. The “cuddling” can wait until he’s no longer contagious.

P.S. And don’t forget to sympathize.

No practicing on patients: New docs get boot camp CHICAGO (AP) — First-day jitters come with any new job but when the work involves pushing needles into strangers’ bellies, stitching up gaping wounds or even delivering babies, that debut can be especially nerve-wracking — for everyone involved.

Brand-new doctors often launch right into patient care within weeks of graduating from medical school. To make sure their skills are up to snuff, many medical schools and hospitals run crash courses in the basics for these new interns.

It’s called boot camp at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and its adjoining Feinberg medical school, a program involving two to three days of intense practice before letting the newbies loose on patients. Young doctors are tested on a variety of skills, from the proper technique for handling newborns during childbirth — make sure the head comes out slowly — to delivering bad news — use empathy, eye contact and listen to the patient.

More than 90 percent pass the first time. The rest are tested again until they do.

“Don’t do that on Mr. Smith,” instructor Dr. Jeffrey Barsuk told this year’s batch of residents, warning them not to withdraw too much fluid from the belly of a mannequin patient supposedly sick with liver disease. Barsuk was showing the group how to insert a scary-looking 5-inch needle and remove abnormal fluid buildup.

Taking too much can be dangerous for sick patients.

Dr. Diane Wayne, the medical school’s vice dean of education, created the program in 2011, aiming partly to combat the so-called

“July effect.” Many experts say it’s more myth than reality, and evidence is mixed, but a few studies have found lapses in patient care — even deaths — when new interns start making rounds in July.

“We have great residents who come from all over the country, but we have no reliable way of knowing that these interns possess these skills,” she said. “We just don’t want to subject patients to newly minted residents” with uncertain expertise.

The program won a 2012 innovation award from the Association of American Medical Colleges. The association’s Dr. Robert Englander said the boot camp is part of a trend in doctor-training as hospitals increasingly focus on patient safety.

“We’re looking more and more at what we can do toward the end of medical school to optimize that preparation,” he said.

One of the toughest — and most praised — sessions was a test in handling end-of-life discussions, using actors trained to portray dying patients. First, the new doctors watched rapt as

Northwestern ethics expert Dr. Kathy Neely demonstrated with an actor posing as single father with advanced cancer, worried sick about what would happen to his 12-year-old son.

It was like a well-acted play, with the audience straining to catch every word and nuance as Neely sat close to the “patient,” touching his arm and talking gently about the burdens of choices he faced, including entering hospice care.

Then residents were sent into private hospital rooms to be tested on discussing “do not resuscitate” orders and how long to use lifesaving ventilators with other fake patients.

“It was difficult going in because we were giving bad news to the patient and discussing end of life goals,” said Namita Jain, 25, another recent Northwestern graduate.

Facing her first day on the job, Jain said she was most nervous about “probably, like everything,” but praised boot camp for helping build up her confidence. “It’s nice to be able to practice.”

MIT finger device reads to the blind in real time CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are developing an audio reading device to be worn on the index finger of people whose vision is impaired, giving them affordable and immediate access to printed words.

The so-called FingerReader, a prototype produced by a 3-D printer, fits like a ring on the user’s finger, equipped with a small camera that scans text. A synthesized voice reads words aloud, quickly translating books, restaurant menus and other needed materials for daily living, especially away from home or office.

For Jerry Berrier, 62, who was born blind, the promise of the FingerReader is its portability and offer of real-time functionality at school, a doctor’s office and restaurants.

“When I go to the doctor’s office, there may be forms that I wanna read before I sign them,” Berrier said.

Reading is as easy as pointing the finger at text. Special software tracks the finger movement, identifies words and processes the information. The device has vibration motors that alert readers when they stray from the script, said Roy Shilkrot, who is developing the device at the MIT Media Lab.

Developers had to overcome unusual challenges to help people with visual impairments move their reading fingers along a straight line of printed text that they could not see. Users also had to be alerted at the beginning and end of the reading material.

The FingerReader can read papers, books, magazines, newspapers, computer screens and other devices, but it has problems with text on a touch screen, said Shilkrot.

“Any tool that we can get that gives us better access to printed material helps us to live fuller, richer, more productive lives, Berrier said.

IndyCar rookie Hawksworth no stranger to Iowa Speedway

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor “I’m looking forward to being back on track at Iowa Speedway.

It is quite small and presents some great intense racing,” Jack Hawksworth said two weeks ago of this weekend’s Iowa Corn Indy 300, while in Iowa on a visit to an Iowa farm to learn about corn and ethanol production.

That was almost spoiled for the Verizon IndyCar Series rookie by a mishap in a practice session for last week’s Pocono 500 in Long Pond, Penn. Hawksworth’s car spun and made left-side contact with the SAFER Barrier in Turn 1 at Pocono Raceway and suffered a bruised heart.

“Iowa Speedway is a good place to race. I grew up racing on the street courses, but I enjoyed racing at Iowa in the two previous years,” Hawksworth said. “It is the shortest oval track we race on in a season. As a driver, you have to stay in the race because it is so intense with a lot of sideby-side action throughout the race.”

Hawksworth started second

in last year’s Iowa Sukup 100 while competing in Indy Lights, and led 48 laps before eventually finishing third. That came a year INDYCAR See Page 2B

The 23-year-old driver from Bradford, England, missed the Pocono 500. He was finally cleared Tu e s d a y afternoon to drive the No. 98 Integrity Energee Drink car for Bryan Herta Autosport here at Newton.

Hawksworth Although H a w k sworth has raced twice at Iowa Speedway, this weekend’s Iowa Corn Indy 300 is his first race on the 7/8-mile oval in IndyCar’s premier series.

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer One of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series’ most successful drivers in recent years returns to a track Friday where he’s achieved some of his most consistent success.

F e w NCWTS drivers have Crafton ran as well at Iowa Speedway as Matt Crafton. Since the NCWTS started racing in Newton in 2009, Crafton is the only driver to place in the top-10 in all seven races, including a stop in Victory Lane in 2011.

Part of that consistency can be attributed to luck, he says, but there’s no doubt the 38-year-old has learned what it takes to succeed at Iowa Speedway.

“It’s a short track and that’s

what we all grew up racing. I love going to short tracks,” he said.

“We have a very good handle on the place. I think I did one of the first Goodyear tire tests there and I think that helped for sure.”

Crafton enters Friday’s American Ethanol 200 eight points behind NCWTS points this season has left the driver of the leader, Johnny Sauter.

Crafton was running second at Dover May 30 when one of his wheels broke. He finished 23rd.

A few weeks later at Gateway Motorsports Park near St. Louis, Crafton placed 26th after blowing a right-front tire while leading the race late.

Raiders walk off again, advance in regional playoffs

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer COLFAX — For the second night in a row, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter let a seventh-inning lead slip away.

And for the second night in a row, the Raiders saved their season in walk-off fashion.

CMB freshman Mikayla Eslinger scored from second base on an infield error in the bottom of the seventh to give her team a 7-6 victory over Colfax-Mingo Wednesday night. The play served a fitting end to the Class 2A Region 6 playoff game that was low scoring early before both teams’ defenses unraveled.

Lynnville-Sully opens regional play with win

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor SULLY — Taking their first step for a return trip to the state softball tournament, Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks used a six-run fourth inning to power their way past visiting Southeast Warren Wednesday night.

The second-ranked Hawks defeated Southeast Warren, 10-2, in a quarterfinal game in the Class 1A Region 5 tournament.

Lynnville-Sully (32-1) hosts Twin Cedars at 7 p.m. Friday in a regional semifinal. The winner advances to the Region 5 championship game at 7 p.m. Monday at Oskaloosa.

IndyCar: Hawksworth began racing go-karts in England Continued from Page 2B after his Indy Star Mazda Series Championship but in 2012 at Iowa Speedway, Hawksworth had worked his way up to third in the Star Mazda race then crashed into Turn 4, finishing 15th.

“So, I’ve had good fortune and not so good at Iowa. I was really quick there in Star Mazda racing but had the crash. Last year, we had a great run there. We’ve had a great car this year in the IndyCar Series and I’m excited to see what I can do at Iowa,” Hawksworth said.

Hawksworth had a season-high third-place finish in Race 2 at Hous-

ton, June 28-29. He is 16th overall in the point standings for the Verizon IndyCar Series. He is third in the Sunoco Rookie of the Year standings.

Hawksworth began his career at the age of 13 racing go-karts in England. He continued racing successfully in karts until 2010, when he moved into open wheel racing in the highlycompetitive Formula Renault U.K. Winter Series. There, he earned the pole position in every round of the championship, finished third in the championship and was the highestplaced rookie.

In the span of four seasons, he’s advanced from being the No. 1 British driver in KZ1 karting to a rising rook-

ie star in the Verizon IndyCar Series.

In 2011, Hawksworth moved to the United States, working his way up the Mazda Road to Indy. He dominated in the 2012 Star Mazda Series, breaking the record for most wins, poles and fastest laps in a season. In 2013, Hawksworth competed in the Firestone Indy Lights Series, winning three races and finishing fourth in the championship.

“When I was younger, I was into soccer. My dad competed in bike rallies and that’s how I got interested in motorsports,” Hawksworth said. “I decided I wanted to race karts. Fortunately, my dad was happy to support me in that and I’ve loved competing

NCWTS: Crafton runs well at Iowa Continued from Page 1A “We’re not really happy with it.

We’re content with it. We’ve been a lot faster than being second in points,” he said. “If we would’ve completed both of those races where we were running, we’d be sitting really, really pretty right now, but that’s racing as they say.”

Perhaps part of his reasoning stems from his achievements of a year ago, when the 14-year truck veteran won his first NCWTS points championship. Crafton came close before, finishing second in 2009.

“It was awesome,” he said. “It’s definitely something I’ve always wanted and have looked up to people who have been able to do it, so to be able to say I’ve done it is really good [and] really cool.”

Crafton seems to have positioned himself well through the season’s first eight races to repeat as cham-

pion, something no driver has ever been able to do on the truck series.

The Tulare, Calif., native already has two wins this year and has finished sixth or better in five of the six races he’s completed.

If history is any indication, another top-10 appears in store for Crafton this weekend. Of the 15 tracks the NCWTS has visited each of the past five seasons, Iowa Speedway and Dover International Speedway are the only two at which he’s finished in the top 10 at every visit.

“We’ve been pretty good at Iowa, and I think it’s really because that track just fits my driving style,” Crafton told ThorSport.com. “Iowa doesn’t drive like a short track, even though it’s less than a mile. You might think I’m crazy, but to me, it drives more like a mile-and-ahalf track, with the taste of a short track. The trucks can run wide open around there, making it not only a challenge, but a bunch of fun.”

Area baseball roundup: Hawks, Raiders lose final home games Daily News Sports Staff Hawks drop final home game SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s final home baseball game didn’t go as planned Wednesday.

The Hawks came up on the short end of a 6-1 decision against visiting Iowa Valley in South Iowa Cedar League action. The teams were tied 1-1 after one inning. Iowa Valley added single runs in the third and sixth innings, and three more in the seventh.

Brandon Dunsbergen drew a walk and scored Lynnville-Sully’s run in the first. T.J. Cunningham drove in the run. The lone hit of the game for the Hawks was a single by Zach Kaldenberg.

Daniel Zimmerman took the pitching loss, going six innings and giving up five runs on five hits and two walks. He had two strikeouts.

Tyler Van Zante pitched one inning,

allowing one run on one walk.

Lynnville-Sully goes to Keota tonight and to Montezuma Friday to conclude its regular season.

Madrid routes CMB COLLINS — Mason Gibson practically shutdown Collins-Maxwell/Baxter single handedly Wednesday night.

The Madrid junior allowed only four hits in a complete-game effort on the mound and went 4-for-5 at the plate with a double, home run and six RBI in the Tigers’ 10-1 victory over CMB. Leading 2-1 at the start of the sixth, Madrid gave itself plenty of cushion by adding seven runs in the inning.

Madrid totalled 14 hits and benefitted from seven walks issued by CMB pitching.

The loss prevented CMB (7-13) from earning its first three-game winning streak of the season.

in racing ever since.”

Hawksworth said there has been a learning curve for him stepping up into the IndyCar Series this season.

“One of the main things I’ve learned is it is about having a great team and crew around you. They’ve put me in a great car this season and we’re having success,” Hawksworth said of his rookie season. “I can’t wait to get to Iowa and see how we perform there.”

Come Friday, Hawksworth will be back on the Iowa Speedway track.

Practice sessions and qualifying for Saturday’s 2014 Iowa Corn Indy 300 are on Friday. The Iowa Corn Indy 300 is under the lights Saturday with the green flag dropping at 7:45 p.m.

MLB capsules Reds 4, Cubs 1 CINCINNATI (AP) — Alfredo Simon became the NL’s first 12-game winner and Billy Hamilton added to his sensational series with a tiebreaking triple, leading Cincinnati over the trade-depleted Chicago Cubs.

The Reds won their fifth in a row — matching their season high — and moved a season-best seven games over .500. They’ll try for their first five-game sweep since 1976 on Thursday.

Simon (12-3), left off the All-Star team, became the first Reds pitcher to win a dozen games before the break since Edinson Volquez also went 12-3 in the first half of 2008. The reliever-turner-starter gave up four hits in 6 2-3 innings, including Anthony Rizzo’s third homer in four games.

Hamilton tripled home a run and scored during a three-run fifth against Dallas Beeler (0-2), who has lost his first two starts in the majors.

Cubs manager Rick Renteria was ejected during the inning for arguing a foul ball call with third base umpire Andy Fletcher.

Red Sox 5, White Sox 4 BOSTON (AP) — Daniel Nava doubled home the tying run in the ninth inning and scored on Brock Holt’s single as Boston rallied from a four-run deficit to beat Chicago and snap a four-game losing streak.

Chris Sale pitched 7 2-3 innings of four-hit ball and left with a 4-0 lead in his bid to earn the final spot on the AL All-Star team. The winner of the online voting will be announced Thursday. Sale, an All-Star the past two seasons, walked none and struck out six before his bullpen cost him a chance to improve to 9-1.

Jake Petricka faced four batters in the eighth and failed to get an out. It was 4-3 by the time Javy Guerra (0-1)

took over.

Koji Uehara (5-2), added to the All-Star team earlier in the day, earned the win.

Jose Abreu hit his 28th homer and Conor Gillaspie also connected for Chicago, which had won three straight.

Royals 5, Rays 4 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Salvador Perez hit a go-ahead, threerun homer in the ninth inning to lift Kansas City over Tampa Bay. Kirby Yates (0-1), the fifth Rays reliever, entered with runners at the corners and gave up Perez’s one-out shot into the left-field corner. It’s been a big week for Perez, chosen Sunday to start at catcher for the American League in next week’s AllStar game.

Aaron Crow (4-1) pitched a scoreless eighth and Greg Holland got three outs for his 24th save. Eric Hosmer also homered for Kansas City.

Kevin Kiermaier went 4 for 4 with a grand slam for the Rays, who lost two of three in the series.

Phillies 4, Brewers 1 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley homered to support Roberto Hernandez’s solid start, and Philadelphia beat Milwaukee for its third straight win over the NL Central leaders.

Hernandez (4-8) needed just 84 pitches to get through eight innings against the aggressive Brewers, who have lost four in a row and eight of nine. Hernandez allowed three hits, and Jonathan Papelbon worked a perfect ninth for his 22nd save.

Rollins and Utley connected off Kyle Lohse (9-4), who retired 13 straight after Utley’s first-inning solo shot. Rollins’ two-run shot in the sixth snapped an 0-for-20 slide at the plate.

Class 1A: Hawks advance with W Continued from Page 2B Lynnville-Sully led 1-0 after one inning then had the six-run outburst in the fourth. Southeast Warren pushed across two runs in the top of the sixth which were answered by three runs from the Hawks in their half of the inning.

Madison Rasmusson went the dis-

tance in the circle for the Hawks. She scattered six hits over seven innings of work and struck out six batters.

Becca Vos led the Lynnville-Sully offense with a 3-for-4 night — all singles. Rasmusson hit a single and a triple while Jade Van Rees had a single and a double. Kasiah Ehresman delivered two singles and Shelby Davis doubled

Class 2A: Errors mount in CMB victory Continued from Page 2B off the center-field fence with two outs. Megan Ritter then hit a ground ball to Colfax-Mingo third baseman Jena Teed, who fielded cleanly but threw low to first. First baseman Erin Earles couldn’t corral the ball for the third out, allowing Eslinger enough time to score the winning run.

“We talk about making things happen and hustling all the time,” CMB head coach Troy Houge said. “We had one of our quicker girls out there and she didn’t slow down. Once that ball hit the dirt, they had no chance of getting her at home. It was awesome, just awesome the way it happened.”

Defensive miscues accounted for a majority of the runs scored in the game.

The Tigerhawks capitalized on an error in the top of the fifth when Ries Wilson’s sacrifice bunt attempt turned into three runs. An errant throw to get Wilson at first sailed into the right-field corner, allowing Brooke Nicholson, Jade Lewis and Wilson to all score on the play.

Colfax-Mingo then gave up that lead in the bottom half, in part because of two errors and a third defensive lapse that potentially cost the TiBen Schuff/Daily News Colfax-Mingo center fielder Rylee Thompson catches a fly ball in the fifth inning against Collins-Maxwell/Baxter Wednesday night. CMB won, 7-6, after Colfax-Mingo scored twice in the top of the seventh to tie the game.

gerhawks the second out of the inning.

CMB sent nine batters to the plate in the fifth and had only three hits. Colfax-Mingo’s miscues mounted and the Raiders scored five times.

“Most of the runs they scored were the result of inadequate defense on our part,” Colfax-Mingo head coach Bryan Poulter said. “It’s been one of our problems throughout the year. It seems like we have an inning defensively where we just kind of have some problems and they multiple. It was the fifth inning tonight.”

The Raiders rallied against Colfax-Mingo relief pitcher Ries Wilson, who came on after Russell was ejected in the top of the seventh for colliding with CMB catcher Abbey Appelgate on a play at the plate.

Wilson retired the first two batters before Eslinger, who had made solid contact in her three previous at-bats but was hitless, stepped to the plate.

“I was kind of nervous,” Eslinger said of her at-bat. “I had hit well all game, but they all went straight to the other team. I was just hoping it would work out for everybody because I know it’s a big deal to move on in a game like this.”

CMB will move on and play in the regional semifinals for the first time in six years, according to Houge.

“It was a tight game, and it was fun,” he said.

“When you’re on the winning side, it’s more fun.”

The friendly, expansive and pioneering Sagittarius moon is positively buoyant while swelling toward Saturday’s full moon excitement. In light of the portal of good fortune and just rewards that the sun and Saturn opened up yesterday, this should be a banner day for the kind of people who believe they can make their own luck.

prudent. It is said that a stitch in time would have confused Einstein.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 10). You really will feel like a new person in this fresh solar cycle.

Here’s the fun twist in August: You’ll be seen in a positive light because of how happy your make yourself, instead of how much you do for others. You’ll receive many proposals in September.

Financial breaks come in November and March.

Aquarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 2, 22, 40 and 16.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Until you’ve seen different parts of the world, you can’t really understand the reality of your own corner. Travel helps you see your life differently and appreciate it more fully, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The conventional method will work for some, but not for you today. Prudence isn’t always intelligent, and intelligence isn’t always

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Stop thinking so much about what to do, and start doing it. There’s so much more that becomes possible when you get into action mode, and once you’re moving, you won’t be able to stop.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Seize the opportunity to hang out with that silly person you know.

You two have your own language of sorts and an endless stream of inside jokes that the rest of the world probably never will understand.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your supporters have more faith in you than you have in yourself these days. Don’t be

outmatched! It’s time to dig deeper into your soul and open new wells of self-confidence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re even more popular than usual today, and the social aspects of your life will sparkle. You’ll make a new friend even as the ones you already have vie for your attention.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People tend to stay inside the invisible fences they create for themselves.

Charismatic characters have a way of influencing you to break your own rules or consider them for the first time.

How do you know a gift is too much? If it makes the recipient feel uncomfortably indebted, it’s too much.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Facts are finite. Feelings are infinite. Therefore, the decisions you make with only your head will lead to less fulfilling results than the decisions you make with both head and heart.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). No more strolling around looking for inspiration. It’s time to figure out what you want to do and then propose a timeline. A goal isn’t a goal until it has a timetable attached.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Timing will be key.

To arrive at the appropriate moment won’t be as easy as it looks. There’s much planning that will go into it, especially if you have children, pets and other obligations to tend to today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). At midday, it will become rather obvious to you that you really don’t know what you’re doing.

So what? That’s the way it should be when you’re taking risks and stretching yourself into uncertain territory.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s such a thing as being overly generous.
