Public input sought for comprehensive plan By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Tuesday was one of statutory filing deadlines for campaign finance reports for state elected positions. In the Iowa House District 29 race, Democrat Wes Breckenridge’s campaign out-fundraised Republican Patrick Payton over the past six weeks, but the two have almost exactly the same ending balances.

Breckenridge leads fundraising in House District 29 Ending balances for District 29 opponents a $150 apart By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Breckenridge

The campaign of Wes Breckenridge raised more cash contributions than Iowa House District 29 opponent Patrick Payton has raised recently, but Breckenridge’s campaign has also spent more. According to reports filed by Tuesday’s state-mandated reporting deadline, the Breckenridge campaign has raised more than twice as much as Payton since the June 3 reporting deadline, taking in about

Payton

$5,700 in cash contributions to Payton’s $2,600. Breckenridge had a slightly higher opening balance coming in, and after about $5,300 in expenditures in this reporting period, the Democrat’s campaign finished with an ending balance only $150 more than his Republican counterpart. Breckenridge defeated incumbent Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton) in the June 7 Democratic primary election, while no Republicans ran against

Payton. The next statutory reporting deadline for the November reporting cycle is Oct. 19. Breckenridge’s largest contribution since June 3 were for $1,000 each from Democrat-Republican Independent Voter Education, or DRIVE, based in Washington, D.C., and the Jasper County Democrats, along with $500 from the Manufactured Housing PAC in Des Moines. All of Payton’s contributions listed are from individuals, with the largest being $500. Breckenridge’s campaign also had about $700 in in-kind contributions, while Payton only had about $75. Kelley, though he lost the June 7 primary, is still required to report contributions. He reported a net loss of nearly $2,900 for the period of June 3 to July 19 for his campaign. The campaign took in slightly FINANCES | 3A

Helping others drives Dynasty Cab for 10 years By Savannah Eadens Newton Daily News When Kay Martin and her late husband Lonnie Martin, Newton, started Dynasty Cab more than 10 years ago, they drove 24/7 in a 1976 Chevy van. Owner Kay Martin, originally from southeast Missouri, and her husband had both retired, but decided they weren’t quite done working yet. They began the Dynasty Cab Company, and for several years donated their time and efforts to benefit local people. “We always wanted to give back to the community and this was how we did it,” Martin said. In July 2015, Lonnie Martin died. DYNASTY | 3A

County partnering with Colfax for road repair By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The county, along with the city of Colfax, is moving forward with a road repair project. The Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved a 28E agreement for the maintenance subgrade stabilization and surfacing of League Road in Colfax. The road work runs for approximately 4,000 feet on League Road near the Colfax High School. About 1,000 feet of that, from Highway F48 north, is the portion under the responsibility of the county, Jasper County Engineer Russ Stutt said. The estimated project cost is $80,000 with the county responsible for 40 percent of the project and the city of Colfax funded the remaining 60 percent. The county will provide the initial funding for the project with the city reimbursing its portion of the project upon completion. The county will also survey, design and inspect the project. The city of Colfax previously approved the project and partnership with the county. “This has been a long time coming,” supervisor Joe Brock said. The board also approved two new hires, one in the Jasper County Health Department and the second for Veterans Affairs. SUPERS | 3A

Two open houses are planned to get public feedback on work taking place on Newton’s Comprehensive Plan. From 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Thursday and at noon on Tuesday, the Planning and Zoning Commission will have information available to the public at city hall. “The Planning and Zoning Commission Chambers along with Implementing Newton’s Future and the Hometown Pride Committee have been working really hard on reviewing, updating and refreshing the comprehensive plan,” director of planning and zoning Erin Chambers said. “That process has been well underway for the last few months and the Planning and Zoning Commission has honed in on some recommendations.” The comprehensive plan is used as the community’s official road map of the future. First adopted in 2012, the city planned to review and revise the plan every two years. The last review took place in 2014.

Grace Church to host Expedition Norway

First Lutheran corn boil ready for another year By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News It’s that time of year again. The First Lutheran Church is hosting its annual Corn Boil from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday at the church, 309 E. Third St. N. The annual event is a staple for the church and has been a part of its yearly calender for more than 45 years. “It started before I joined the church, probably 45 years ago,” organizer Vicki Porter said. “There was a gentleman named Clarence Hackeny, and he had a little acreage, and he loved to grow sweet corn. He would donate the sweet corn, and we would do a big corn boil and invite the town and the neighbors. It was just a way of celebrating the harvest, or his way of giving. He was a really neat guy.” The tradition has continued throughout the years even after

Hackeny was unable to provide the corn. “Ever since he couldn’t do it, we just loved the tradition and it is a fun time to get together and invite the community so we have kept it up,” Porter said. The corn, all 720 ears of it, is now purchased from John Brandhoff, who has partnered with the church for several years. At 7:30 a.m. the morning of the boil, a crew of volunteers heads to a farm located near Baxter and begin shucking until the last ear is husk free. The corn then travels to the church where additional volunteers clean it and begin preparing for the boil. Porter, along with Arlene Dobesh have organized the event for the last several years. They said without the help of the volunteers, the boil wouldn’t go on. “It takes a lot,” Porter said.

Along with the corn, sloppy joes, fresh garden vegetables, watermelon, cantaloupe and desserts are served. The event is free and open to the public with free will donations accepted. “People bring in harvest, fruits, vegetables, cucumbers done a lot of ways. People bring from their gardens,” Porter said. “We also have dessert, you can’t have a meal without dessert.” The star of the show is, of course, the corn, which Porter said is dipped in good butter and tastes very yummy. More than just a meal, the event is a time for the church and the community to come together. “It is just fun, it is a really good community feel and also a chance for us church members to get together and spend some time,” Porter said.

Methodists elect 1st openly gay bishop in defiance of ban SCOTTSDALE, Arizona (AP) — The Western district of the Methodist church has elected an openly gay bishop despite the denomination’s ban on same-sex relationships. The Rev. Karen Oliveto was elected late Friday night at a meeting in Scottsdale, Ariz., of the church’s Western Jurisdiction. Oliveto is pastor of Glide Memorial United Methodist Church in San Francisco. She is the first openly gay bishop in the 12.7 million-member denomination. The United Methodist Church is deeply divided over LGBT rights. Church law says same-gender relationships are “incompatible with Christian teaching.” But several regional districts are openly defying the prohibition by appointing gay clergy and allowing same-sex weddings in churches. Some instances have led to trials under the church legal system. Oliveto’s election could draw complaints that will prompt a review under church law.

friend of the O’Brien family. After his death, there was a raffle held on the square for his benefit, “I won the raffle,” Martin said. “But I then donated all of the money back because I knew Bob (O’Brien) wouldn’t accept it from me any other way… This company was always our way of paying back. My husband wanted me to keep it going as long as I possibly can.” The cab company also runs a designated driver service for people at bars late at night, and maintains a close relationship with local bars. Martin said she’s been known to get behind the counter at the bar to bartend and even bus tables while hanging out waiting for the next cab call. The company still runs 24/7, and employs three drivers that make

They told him 20 years ago he had three to six months to live.” The company’s first benefit was for Dana Ceretti, a local woman with cystic fibrosis. Diagnosed with the disease at 4 months old and after years of fighting, the mother of one died at the age of 30 in 2009. The Martins donated almost $3,000 to her benefit before her death. Other benefits included locals Jacob Hammer, Kerry Tiffany, Mike Lawler and his mother, as well as the Brendan O’Brien Foundation. Brendan O’Brien died in 2013, at the age of 14.

more than $1,000 in contributions, with the largest being a $300 donation marked “unitemized.” There were no in-kind donations. He had more than $5,000 in expenditures, and finished with an ending balance of -$2,880. In the Iowa House District 28 race, incumbent Republican Rep. Greg Heartsill raised nearly $12,000 and spent only about $1,950, so his campaign starts the final three-plus months of the campaign with more than $20,000. Heartsill’’s campaign had more than $1,800 in in-kind donations — much of it for a single fundraiser event held by a Reasnor resident. That same resident also made the biggest contribution to his campaign – a check for more than $2,000. There were two donations of $1,000, one from Iowans for Tax Relief. His challenger, Marty Duffy, defeated Lois DeWaard in the June 7 Democratic primary. Duffy raised about $1,900 in new cash contributions and spent nearly $1,400, leaving his campaign with an ending balance of about $1,550. His biggest contribution — $250 — was from the Jasper County Democrats. The bulk of his $2,200 in inkind contributions is for a laptop computer.

Brenda Steenhoek was hired for the Home Care Manager position at an annual pay rate of $58,128. The position was left vacant when Lisa Damman took the public health coordinator position earlier this year. The open part-time clerk position in Veterans Affairs will be filled by Kurt Jackson at a pay rate of $15 per hour. Both Steenhoek and Jackson at scheduled to start their positions on Monday.

The owner also said the company has struggled more since other cab companies have started in town. “Cab companies used to work together more,” Martin said. “If there was someone who needed a cab and one company was too busy, they’d call someone else, but now it’s more competition.

early every American has an opinion on second amendment rights. However, as there are no manufacturing rights directly addressed in the U.S. Constitution or its amendments, it seems as if there aren’t any. Hardly anyone wants to talk about regulating the manufacture of weapons. While we allow government to regulate lead content in imported products, we permit as much lead (or copper or other metals) into our communities in the form of endless weapons and ammunition. This must change. I’m not in favor of complete manufacturing bans or stronger regulation of guns or ammunition already in circulation. I don’t want police to have to fiddle with what types of guns are legal. It’s hard enough for police to decide who can have guns.

I’m also not a fan of having handguns regulated. Protecting families and property has never been more challenging. I support concealed carry provisions, though I also agree with law enforcement who support stronger hands-on qualifying requirements. What I don’t support is the National Rifle Association’s presence in federal government in the form of a political action committee, along with the efforts of many weapons industry companies and individuals in propagating the myth that we should all own guns and more of them. This fear-driven mentality isn’t the only factor in how some of the most damage-inflicting criminals of the past 20 years obtained weapons, but it certainly isn’t helping. Rifle manufacturing totals should be regulated. Congress has never had trouble limiting military grade weapons, tobacco or even anabolic steroids. It would

not cripple either an industry or Constitutional freedoms to regulate the amount of weapons made in factories. I suppose the foreign or street market or even underground factories could surge as a result of this move, but we simply cannot continue to allow weapons used against police and citizens to be made and sold in such great numbers as if nothing is wrong. Something has to change. We can’t wait for economic recovery or better parenting or personal responsibility to suddenly kick in, and the idea that any of us can outgun the so-called mentally unstable doesn’t seem to be working. An unregulated free-market — backed by a heavily promoted gun lobby — provide rifles to both good guys and bad guys and it seems the doesn’t deter a psychotic person. Sure, an armed populace or police force could limit a terrorist’s victims from 10 to five, but from what I’ve heard in recent interviews with Dallas-area police officers’ families, that limitation doesn’t feel like much of a victory. Iowa is not really a big part of this problem, aside from the fact rural, mentally ill white Iowans can purchase weap-

ons almost as easily as healthy people. If background checks and “watch lists” are executed fairly and can maintain safety while honoring civil rights, we wouldn’t need new laws in this realm if we properly fund and execute laws and procedures already in place. It’s both the mentally ill and the suburban homeowners across the country that are my greatest concern — especially those who have little or no firearms training, who make purchases on emotions and end up using it simply to resolve an issue. These are the folks ruining liberty, as well as showing why they’re the target market for the manufacturers. Since 1998, about 220 million firearms have been purchased in this country, so it seems there are plenty of used guns already in circulation. Iowans should always be allowed to shop local, visiting a local gun shop or Brownells to meet all of their home-security and hunting or sport-shooting needs. Tobacco wasn’t killed by regulation. Remington and Smith & Wesson can endure it, too. Contact Jason W. Brooks at or jbrooks@newtondailynews.com

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

For Obama, leftist rhetoric is always innocent

When it comes to the linkage between violence and rhetoric, I abide by a fairly simple rule: If you’re not advocating violence, you’re not responsible for violence. That doesn’t mean your rhetoric is decent or appropriate; it may be vile, awful and factually incorrect. But it isn’t the cause for violence. President Barack Obama also abides by a simple rule when it comes to linking violence and rhetoric: If he doesn’t like the rhetoric, it’s responsible for violence. And if there’s violence associated with rhetoric he likes, then the violence must have been caused by something else. This shining double standard was on full display this week after an anti-white racist black man shot 14 police officers in Dallas just hours after Obama appeared on national television explaining that alleged instances of police brutality and racism were “not isolated incidents” but rather “symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system.” Obama was happy to label the shootings of Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota, without evidence, as part of a broader racist trend in law enforcement across the country. Then Micah Xavier Johnson opened fire on white police officers — and anti-police racist radicals attacked officers in Minnesota, Tennessee, Missouri, Georgia and Texas again — and Obama suddenly got amnesia. Now, it turned out, rhetoric had nothing to do with their actions. In fact, said Obama, he had no idea why Johnson — who explicitly said he wanted to murder white cops — would do such a thing. “I think it’s very hard to untangle the motives of this shooter,” Obama said while in Poland. “What triggers that, what feeds it, what sets it off — I’ll leave that to psychologists and people who study these kinds of incidents.” He did blame one element for the attack, however: lack of gun control. “If you care about the safety of our police officers,” he lied, “you can’t set aside the gun issue and pretend that that’s irrelevant.” Odd how this works. When a white racist shoots up a black church in Charleston, South Carolina, Obama targets America’s legacy of racism, and the entire media call for a national fight against Confederate flags; when a nut tries to shoot up a Planned Parenthood building in Colorado, the left emerges to claim that the pro-life movement bears culpability. But when an Orlando jihadi shoots up a gay nightclub, Obama and company declare the motives totally mysterious and then impugn Christian social conservatives and the National Rifle Association. Here’s the truth: Obama’s rhetoric isn’t responsible for murder, but it’s certainly responsible for death. That’s because Obama’s racist rhetoric has led to the greatest rise in racial polarization since the 1970s. In 2010, just 13 percent of Americans worried about race relations, whereas in April 2016, 35 percent of Americans did. That racial polarization has, in turn, led to distrust of police officers, many of whom respond by pulling out of the communities that need their help most. Crime rates go up, including murder rates. Ironically, Obama’s supposed rage at white officers killing blacks leads to more blacks killing blacks in cities no longer policed by whites. But there’s good news: Obama can always blame everyone else. When you’re held responsible for your feelings rather than your actions, it’s always simple to direct attention toward the evil conservatives who insist that all lives matter rather than care enough about black lives to save them by endorsing the police who work to protect black men and women every day.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

YOUR VIEW

Rage and hate begets rage and hate I felt I needed to write in light of all the tensions going on in the past few months in our nation. We have seen the horrific actions against the LGBT community, peace officers and black communities. It made me realize what kind of times we are living in. When did we become a society of such rage? It should really affect all of us as humans. Another kind of prejudice I witness right here is how some people view the mentally challenged or learning disabled groups. It is sad to see kids in school being poked fun at because maybe they don’t learn as fast, or they say or do things

to some people seem unusual to them. Instead of making fun of them, or not talk to them at all, here is a new concept: Why not try inclusion? Ask them to sit at your lunch table or walk down the halls together instead of treating them like they are not there. Believe me, if some of these less verbal kids could speak, they would say I am here and would just like to be treated nicely and have friends. I can say some of this as I have experienced this in my life raising a learning disabled adult child. The disabilities did not come into our lives fully until the age of 12. It is not just the kids that do these things. They have to get it from their adult peers, maybe from home or outside sources like TV or social media. I have seen many young adults who make

fun and mimic the way a disabled person walks or their mannerisms. These young adults need to quit being so immature and grow up. I can only hope that these adults never have to experience a child with disabilities of any kind and hope that their kids remain healthy for their lives. Before our kids of today grow up to be like many of the adults today, we could really take hold of these kids and teach them so they could turn out to be better citizens and human beings of tomorrow. There is to be no other judge than that of God above. We cannot treat other human beings cruelly. I was always taught that rage and hate only begets rage and hate. So why do we continue to do that?

Deadline extended: Grassley fall internship applications due Aug. 1 Newton Daily News WASHINGTON — Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said today that the deadline for fall internships for college-age Iowans has been extended. Applications will now be accepted through Aug. 1. Internships are available in Grassley’s Washington, D.C., office as well as his of-

fices in Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des Moines, Sioux City and Waterloo. The semester-long internships will run from Aug. 22 through Dec. 16. Interns assist staff members with administrative, legislative and communications work, including that of Grassley’s staff on the Committee on the Judiciary, where

he serves as Chairman. An internship allows for a wide range of learning experience and exposure for students on Capitol Hill. Grassley said he encourages young Iowans who are interested in learning more about the government to apply. “Interning in a congressional office is a good way for college students and

new graduates to learn more about the legislative branch of the federal government while gaining valuable experience. Internships in my offices are available to students in all areas of study,” Grassley said. Application forms are available on Grassley’s www. grassley.senate.gov/students/ internships and in Grass-

Wife joining the workforce wants her own bank account DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been together for eight years. When we first met, I was in the military and she was a bartender. Needless to say, she made far more money than I did at the time. Six months into our relationship, she got pregnant and quit her job. For the next seven years she raised our children and went to school while I did whatever I had to do — working two jobs — to make enough to pay the bills. I am now out of the military. I have been at a company for six years, and we are finally reaching a point where we don’t worry about money as much. She will graduate from school soon, and hopefully start working right after. She now says that when she starts working, she wants to keep separate bank accounts and split the bills evenly based on pay. Until now, I haven’t resented her for not working because she has been caring for our children, our home and has been a full-time student, but the thought of her wanting to keep her money to herself is weird and hurtful to me. How can I bring this up with her without it making it seem like I think she owes me something? — SEPARATE ACCOUNTS IN TEXAS DEAR SEPARATE ACCOUNTS: Ask your wife why she wants to separate your finances, because marriage is supposed to be a partnership. She does “owe you something” — an explanation.

wife does not approve, so I try to be discreet. Sometimes I underdress and finish my hair and makeup in the car in a park. Then I’ll walk or go shopping. I like people to see me like this. Because they don’t know me, I’m sure sometimes they see a man in a dress, but I don’t mind. However, I am always alone in my altered state and all the groups meet at night. I’m a daytime person, and it’s much easier to get out as “Sheila” in the late mornings and early afternoons. Is there some way for me to find some groups that meet in the afternoon? Is there someone I can contact? I appreciate your help. — JUST A DREAM DEAR JUST A DREAM: An organization that has appeared in my column before may be helpful for you. It’s the Society for the Second Self (Tri-Ess International), and it offers not only support for heterosexual cross-dressers, but also their spouses, partners and families. It’s the oldest and largest support organization for cross-dressers and the people who love them. It promotes cross-dressing with dignity and decency, and treats spouses on an equal basis with their cross-dressers. To learn more about it, contact TriEss at www.tri-ess.org.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 65-year-old cross-dresser who has a deep, burning desire to be a woman. I guess you could call me gender dysphoric. I will never realize this dream of mine, though, and I have accepted myself as I am and have learned to live with it. I am not depressed. My situation is difficult because my

Pipeline protest planned at condemnation hearing

DES MOINES — Opponents of a crude oil pipeline under construction in Iowa continue to fight the project and plan to protest next week after a land condemnation hearing for a central Iowa landowner being forced to allow a Texas oil company to cross his farm. Polk County officials are expected to condemn property Monday on Dan Higginbottom’s farm under eminent domain laws the Iowa Utilities Board authorized Dakota Access to use for its $3.8 billion pipeline cutting across Iowa diagonally.

HAMPTON — A judge has moved a Hampton man’s homicide trial to Mitchell County. Court records say an order was entered Friday moving Ronald Rand’s trial. The records say the trial is set to begin Aug. 22. Last week a judge granted Rand’s request to move the trial out of Franklin County. His attorney had filed the motion, citing media coverage that could affect potential jurors in Franklin County.

MARSHALLTOWN — The former director of the Marshalltown Convention & Visitors Bureau has been given probation and a fine for embezzling from the organization. Shannon Espenscheid, 44, was told at her sentencing hearing Monday she must serve two to five years of probation and pay a $1,000 fine. She’d pleaded guilty to a felony theft charge. Police say Espenscheid made at least $10,000 in personal purchases with a bureau business credit card.

Feds charge woman with fraud in Super Bowl ticket scam IOWA CITY (AP) — An Iowa woman accused of duping dozens of people into buying non-existent tickets to the Super Bowl and other high-profile events has been charged with fraud in what investigators say was a years-long Ponzi scheme that improperly netted her at least $531,000. Ranae Van Roekel of Boyden, Iowa, was charged in federal court Monday with mail and tax fraud, four years after the scheme became public. Prosecutors say the 48-year-old was a self-employed ticket broker who ran the business “Get ‘em Now Tickets” from January 2008 to June 2012 and told a good story to personal contacts she duped. They say she falsely claimed to have personal relationships and ties to events that gave her an inside track for deeply discounted tickets, hotel rooms and VIP passes — once saying she was on the planning committee for the 2012 Super Bowl. Van Roekel targeted acquaintances she had met through her family’s involvement in youth football activities, investigators say. After customers would pay thousands of dollars for tickets in advance, Van Roekel later informed them that she couldn’t fill most of the orders. To avoid detection, she issued some victims refunds using money that came in from new ticket orders. But by 2012, many were out thousands of dollars and angry with themselves for trusting her, according to lawyers who represented them. “She definitely was taking advantage of relationships that she had with people, using that to her advantage to be able to sell them,” said attorney Corey Lorenzen, who represented about a dozen of them. “She had put together a pretty elaborate story.”

Tom Vilsack: A rise from orphanage to Cabinet secretary MT. PLEASANT (AP) — Tom Vilsack’s political story already reads like a modern Horatio Alger tale: a humble beginning at an orphanage in Pittsburgh, a rise to governor of Iowa and then to the nation’s secretary of agriculture. Back in Iowa last weekend, Vilsack declined to acknowledge whether he’s being considered for another celebrated chapter — as running mate to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. But when it came to Republican nominee Donald Trump, he didn’t hold back. “I get really irritated when I hear Donald Trump say, ‘Let’s make America great again,’” Vilsack said in an Associated Press interview. “I look at it and I think, wait a second, I started out life in an orphanage. I didn’t have a last name. ... America gave me this opportunity to go from that beginning to sitting in the White House in the Cabinet Room with the president of the United States.” With his Midwestern ties, experience in elected office, policy

record in Washington and strong links to rural America, Vilsack could bring some key advantages to the Democratic ticket. His family ties to the Clintons date back to Vilsack 1972 when his late brother-inlaw worked with Hillary Clinton. “I’m confident that Hillary Clinton is going to have a very, very accomplished, serious, solid running mate who is going to help her lead this country,” Vilsack said. “Who it is, no one knows, but I’m confident of her capacity to pick the right person.” Vilsack returned Saturday to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, the small town where his political career was launched in the 1980s by accident. A disgruntled citizen stormed a City Council meeting and shot and killed the mayor, prompting Vilsack to fill the void. Born in Pittsburgh, Vilsack was orphaned at birth and raised by adoptive parents. He met his

wife, Christie Bell, in college in New York and moved to her hometown of Mt. Pleasant after he finished law school. Vilsack’s two terms as Iowa’s governor were a time of hardfought compromise with at least one, and sometimes both, legislative houses controlled by Republicans. He often touts as successes achieving universal preschool in Iowa, expanded state spending on renewable fuel research and restoring voting rights to felons post-sentence. “Picking Vilsack would be the antithesis of Trump,” said political consultant Jeff Link, who worked on Vilsack’s brief 2008 presidential bid. “He is solid. He is steady. He is experienced.” Vilsack bonded with the Clintons when Hillary Clinton campaigned for his long-shot bid for governor in 1998. The two later worked together, sharing ideas during the development of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. And in 2005, they teamed up on a domestic policy agenda as leaders with the centrist Democratic Leadership Council.

Iowa dog breeder pleads guilty to filing false records DES MOINES (AP) — A northwest Iowa dog breeder fined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for maintaining unsanitary and unsafe conditions for animals pleaded guilty in federal court to making false statements in an effort to avoid paying the fines. Court documents show 61-year-old Gary Felts entered an agreement on July 13 with prosecutors to plead

guilty to one count of false statements. He faces up to five years in prison and fines up to $250,000. The USDA obtained a civil judgment against Felts for nearly $19,000 in 2012 after inspections over a five-year period of his Black Diamond Kennel operation in Kingsley found multiple violations of the Animal Welfare Act. Inspectors repeatedly cited him for maintaining in-

adequate veterinary care and filthy kennels littered with debris and animal waste with no protection from wind, rain sun and snow. Kennels also had sharp edges that could injure animals and flooring which animals’ feet could pass through. Felts failed to pay the fine and a federal judge ordered a payment plan which required him to file yearly financial disclosure statements.

All

“In the financial disclosure statements, defendant concealed from the United States Attorney’s Office bank account information and the information regarding a worker compensation settlement and payment,” the plea agreement filed with the court on July 13 said. Investigators discovered Felts received a $25,000 workers’ compensation settlement in 2013 he hid from

The Massachusetts-based animal rights group Companion Animal Protection Society, which has been pushing the government to act for years, said it’s past time Felts is held responsible for the conditions at his kennels.

Cleveland decks Kansas City KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals’ search for a fifth starter evidently will continue after two of the favorites for the job did little to help their cause Tuesday. Brian Flynn gave up three runs while failing to make it through three innings, Dillon Gee entered and gave up three more runs, and the Royals lost to the Cleveland Indians 7-3 on a hot, muggy night. “We’re just looking for a guy right now,” said manager Ned Yost, who shuffled Chris Young off to the bullpen weeks ago. “We’ve got time to think about it. We’ve got an off day on Thursday, so we’ll be able to skip that spot the next time around. We’ll probably take advantage of that and consider all of our options.” He would love to have someone like Danny Salazar to nail it down. The Indians’ righthander allowed three runs over 6 2/3 innings while striking out seven, beating the Royals for the third time this season. Salazar (11-3) tossed 7 2/3 shutout innings in a 7-1 victory in early May and allowed one run over eight innings in 6-1 win last month. “You’re facing an AllStar pitcher in Salazar,” Yost said. “He’s not an All-Star for nothing.” Mike Napoli hit a tworun homer off Flynn (1-1), and Carlos Santana drove in two runs off Gee, as the Indians snapped a five-game skid at Kauffman Stadium. Francisco Lindor added a solo shot in the ninth. “”I was just trying to bust him in there, knowing he was going to be swinging two-and-oh,

trying to get in and get a soft ground ball,” Flynn said of the first-inning homer by Napoli. “I just tried to get it in, saw him off or try to get weak contact, but it stayed right over the middle.” The home run allowed Salazar to pitch with the lead the entire way. He didn’t allow a runner past first base through the first five innings, striking out Alex Gordon twice

along the way. And when he seemed to falter in the oppressive weather in the sixth, with Salvador Perez driving in a run and Kendrys Morales scoring on a wild pitch, Salazar still managed to escape the inning. He gave up a sacrifice fly in the seventh before Kyle Crockett finished the frame. Most of the Indians’ offense came from the

same kind of small ball that carried the AL Central-rival Royals to the World Series title last season. They scored a run in the second on a single, a walk and two sacrifices, then added three more in the fifth on a double, three singles, a walk and a fielder’s choice. It was a nice way to rebound after Cleveland blew a late lead in a 7-3 loss the previous night.

Big 12 Conference moves toward expansion, will evaluate candidates By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press The Big 12 is accepting resumes from expansion candidates. The smallest Power Five conference took a significant step toward adding members Tuesday when its university presidents directed Commissioner Bob Bowlsby to begin evaluating schools interested in joining. Oklahoma President David Boren said the board of directors voted unanimousBowlsby ly during a meeting Tuesday in Dallas that coincided with football media days to take another step toward adding to the 10-member league, but they stopped just short of committing to future expansion. “I think it’s a statement from the board that we want to move forward,” Boren said. “We’ve had discussion of the attributes of some of those schools that have come to us and expressed interest. And that we want to move forward and have a full evaluation of exactly the level of their interest, what kind of proposals they might make to us in terms of terms and conditions for joining the conference. When the conference ultimately makes a decision and how many schools it might add are still up in the air, Boren said. Bowlsby said his work could be done before the end of the football season. “It’s possible that this could extend

to our October board meeting, but it’s also possible that we could have a special meeting sometime between now and then,” the commissioner said. The Big 12 has been a 10-team conference since 2012, after Nebraska, Colorado, Texas A&M and Missouri left during the last major wave of realignment and TCU and West Virginia joined. The conference has being batting around the idea of adding more members for more than a year and begins its search with plenty of suitors. The Big 12 has been getting pitches behind the scenes for months from American Athletic Conference schools such as Cincinnati, Connecticut, Memphis, Houston and Central Florida. BYU, a football independent, has made it known it wants into a Power Five conference. Colorado State has also reached out to Big 12 leaders. “We’ve been contacted by a number of institutions, and I would imagine

after this news breaks we’ll be contacted again,” Bowlsby said. The Big 12 has already announced plans to reinstitute its conference championship game in 2017. The reconstituted Big 12 in 2014 hailed its round-robin football schedule as the way to produce “One True Champion,” but the slogan looked silly when it ended up with co-champions that season. Both TCU and Baylor were left out of the first College Football Playoff. After that season, the Big 12 began to reassess. Conference leaders decided not to overreact to one year’s results and instead studied expansion, along with bringing back the title game and trying to start its own television network. Oklahoma reached the College Football Playoff as the Big 12 champion last season, tempering some of the conference’s nervousness. Firms hired to crunch the numbers for the Big 12

told the conference earlier this year that expanding would increase the chances of making it to the playoff and boost revenue. Boren has been the leading advocate for expansion. He said the conference was “psychologically disadvantaged” by having only 10 teams. On the other side, Texas wanted to stay at 10 — and keep its own Longhorn Network in place. In June, the Big 12 said starting a TV network was unlikely. Expansion also seemed unlikely coming out of those meetings. Even Boren was backing off. But Monday, it was reported that ESPN will announce soon the creation of an Atlantic Coast Conference Network to start in 2019, a move expected to lead to a long extension of the conference’s grant of media rights. The grant of rights virtually locks conference members together. Boren acknowledged the ACC news influenced the Big 12. He said “we cannot just sit on the sidelines and not be proactive ourselves.” Big 12 leaders have acknowledged that none of the schools most likely to be added are a natural fit. None is guaranteed to deliver both highly competitive teams — especially football teams — as well as large new markets to increase the value of future media deals. “I would say that we are looking for members that will grow over time as we grow,” Bowlsby said, “that will bring stability to the conference and that have a high top end, will benefit from an affiliation with the schools that are currently in our conference.”

There are those who live as though the sole purpose of being on this earth is to enjoy it. The full moon after-party in Aquarius asks: Is that really so wrong? Some will find themselves feeling jealous and judgmental at the same time. Others will simply be happy for their resident hedonists and celebrate them today.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 20). Your talent for rapport and knack for warming people up to you will help you reach a significant goal in August. You’ll be paid well for this, but more importantly, you’ll make a difference. September features you in a new role. You’ll

Business guru Raymond Aaron said, “If you don’t have an assistant, you are one.” You’ll certainly feel like an assistant as you run around tending to dozens of details today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You needn’t worry about what you’re going to contribute to others that will mean something. It will all happen in the moment. You’ll capture hearts

by just being you -- the courageous and selfless version. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Maybe you made some adjustments because you had to, not because you wanted to. Still, there’s strength in versatility. Those adjustments will work for you, and ultimately you’ll be glad you were strong enough to bend. CANCER (June 22-July 22). That person asking you annoying questions is just trying to get to know you. Hopefully, it’s flattering that someone wants to be closer to you, even if that person doesn’t have a clue how to go about it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can easily sense social tension,

and when you do, your immediate response is to smooth things over with a joke or diversion. This is just one of your many charming habits. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may be putting your all into a project, and yet the desired result still eludes you. If this makes you frustrated, all the better. A touch of angry energy will push you to reach for and achieve something better. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re spiritually generous, and this is why you can be as enthusiastic about the successes of others as you would be if the win were your own. You’ll rejoice in the chance to celebrate the people around you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The astral influences may have you feeling edgy. Among the many ways to work off this stress, the easiest way is to exercise.

Everything that’s happened, good and bad, has made you who you are today. You’ll find a way to profit from one of your past mistakes. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today will offer opportunity to develop your inner world. Your experiences will mimic the scenes in your mind, so taking charge of your imagination is a powerful way

to bring about the changes you desire. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve a strong will, big goals and the freedom to pursue them. This is a magic combination. The current circumstances are more precious and rare than you think. Use them to your advantage -- now! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

CHICAGO (AP) — Jeurys Familia escaped a bases-loaded jam with a game-ending double play after Rene Rivera drove in the tiebreaking run with two outs in the top of the ninth, lifting the New York Mets over the Chicago Cubs 2-1 on Tuesday night. Familia walked Addison Russell and Miguel Montero to start the ninth, then Javier Baez reached on a bunt single when third baseman Jose Reyes threw wide to first. Pinch-hitter Matt Szczur hit a grounder to first baseman James Loney, and Loney threw out Russell at the plate. Kris Bryant then hit into a 5-4-3 double play to give Familia his 33rd save in 33 chances. Rivera had the third single in the ninth — following hits by Loney and Asdrubal Cabrera — off Hector Rondon (1-2) as the Mets beat the Cubs for the fifth time in six games after sweeping them in last year’s NL Championship Series. Hansel Robles (4-3) pitched two scoreless innings in relief for the win. Red Sox 4, Giants 0 BOSTON — David Ortiz hit a three-run homer and Rick Porcello remained unbeaten at home as Boston beat struggling San Francisco. Brock Holt also homered for the Red Sox, who won for the seventh time in eight games. The NL West-leading Giants remained winless since the All-Star break with their fourth straight loss. Porcello (12-2) scattered four hits over 6 1-3 innings, improving to 9-0 at home. Jake Peavy (5-8), a key member of Boston’s 2013 World Series champions, struck out six over six innings and held his former team-

mates to three hits, but two left the park. The Giants played at Fenway Park for the first time since 2007. Cardinals, Padres rained out ST. LOUIS — The San Diego Padres juggled their rotation after Tuesday night’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals was postponed because of anticipated storms that finally materialized about one hour and 45 minutes after the scheduled start. Busch Stadium was dry but empty when heavy rains began. The Tuesday night pitching matchup, Colin Rea vs. Carlos Martinez, moves to the Wednesday opener at 1:15 p.m. Paul Clemens gets a spot start in the second game set for 7:15 p.m. and will oppose Jaime Garcia. Andrew Cashner gets bumped back a day to the series finale on Thursday, opposing Adam Wainwright. Angels 8, Rangers 6 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Albert Pujols hit a pair of threerun homers and Los Angeles remained unbeaten since the All-Star break with its season-best fifth straight victory. Pujols connected in the fourth and fifth innings against Kyle Lohse (0-2) for his second multi-homer game in three days, driving in six runs for the first time since 2009. Pujols’ homers were the 578th and 579th of his career, pulling him closer to Mark McGwire (583) for 10th place on baseball’s career list. Tim Lincecum (2-3) had seven strikeouts while winning for the second time in his six starts for the Angels. Huston Street pitched the ninth for his eighth save — his first since June 14.
