Country Pride County Wide Parade grand marshals take spotlight after 25 years behind the scenes

COLFAX — For the last 25 years, Larry Glassford has been directing traffic on the day of the Jasper County Fair Parade. He and his crew block off streets and line up fair queens, grand marshals and 4-H superintendents for their march through Colfax.

Larry and his wife Marianne Glassford are the people behind the scenes, making sure the 4-H floats, honor guards and police cars are seen by thousands of Jasper County residents each year. But during the 2014 fair, it’s the Glassford’s turn to wave to the crowds as they are honored as the grand marshals of tonight’s parade.

In recent years, Larry has traded his walking shoes for motorized transportation, but his passion for the parade never took a back seat.

“The whole thing’s been enjoyable,” he said. “It’s just been a lot of fun, but as you get older, it gets to be a lot more work. It gets to the point where you’re driving a golf cart. (Driving a golf cart is) a lot-easier when you’re 70 years old.”

Originally from Ottumwa, Larry moved to Colfax in 1985 after meeting his wife Marianne while serving in the Jaycees. During his 20 years with the charitable organization, Larry served as local president, district director, regional director and was eventually appointed state vice president of the Newton Jaycee headquarters. Larry planned community youth projects including a charity haunted house while helping lead the Jaycees. Recently retired, he is also a 311⁄2-year veteran of the U.S. Postal Service.

Larry was recruited by Loretta Kono to help plan the fair parade in 1989, and by the next year he was running the show.

“I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll help you do this,’ and the next year she retired,” he laughed. “That’s the way I got it. I walked right into a job.”

Marianne has five generations of her family living in Colfax. She is a native, calling the town home all her life. She proudly calls herself “one of the originals.”

“I enjoy small-town life.” she said. “I can’t imaging living in a big town. I like to know

After a few weeks of deliberation, it appears that the Jasper County Board of Supervisors has reached a final decision on joining the U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance.

Representatives from UCGPA originally asked the board to consider joining its organization on July 1. The board asked for a few weeks to discuss the matter with the county’s other elected officials and department heads before making a final decision.

According to UCGPA’s website, there are no costs or fees to participate, it gets the best purchase prices on essential government supplies and they deal with name brand and reputable vendors.

One of the representatives at the

meeting did mention that by joining this organization, governing boards can forgo issuing an RFP agreement for purchases. RFP’s are the solicitation of bids that governing boards issue to show citizens it is looking to get the best deal for a purchase.

In a resolution in the board agenda, the supervisors laid out the reasons it felt as a board this was the right course of action for the county: “The (UCGPA) contract contains pre-negotiated prices with several preferred vendors, which allows its members to alleviate the RFP (Request for Pricing) and bidding cycle, and purchase items at the lowest available price.

Dangerous heat expected in Nebraska, Iowa OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Some of the most intense heat of the summer so far is expected in Nebraska and Iowa, so forecasters are urging people to take precautions.

The National Weather Service has issued heat advisories for the eastern half of Nebraska and for 74 of Iowa’s 99 counties on Monday and Tuesday.

Temperatures are expected to climb into the 90s across the region and humidity will be high, so heat stroke, heat exhaustion and sunburn are possible.

Leslie Schaffer with the Iowa chapter of the American Red Cross says it’s important to take precautions in the heat, especially for the elderly and young children.

Staying inside during the hottest part of the day can be a big help.

People who must work outside should take frequent breaks and drink plenty of fluids.

Food donations accepted at fair Food donations are being accepted in the Vendor Building at the Jasper County Fair in Colfax through July 24. Donations received will be distributed throughout the county to all communities that have food pantries for their residents in need.

Correction In the Jasper County Fair preview section distributed last week in the Jasper County Advertiser, the time for the Barnyard Battle was listed incorrectly. The Barnyard Battle was at 6 p.m. Sunday in the pavilion, and the Barnyard Babies contest was at 3:30 p.m. inside the big tent. The Daily News regrets the error.

Empty Nest

Asa Crowe

Some of the students were listening, others were looking out the window with that faraway, dreamy look that I remember well (and still have once-in-a while). Other students had that intense, burning, pay-attention look. I was giving a demonstration to area high school students at Iowa Wesleyan College on how to weld junk together to make sculptures.

I also spoke about writing and photography.

I told the story of how I got started welding, how I had two pieces of old farm junk that I thought would look good attached to each other. So, I had bought the cheapest 110v welder I could find and, not knowing squat from

By Curt Swarm sic’em about welding, Guest Columnist had gotten the job done.

I now have a nice 220v welder and, if any of the students wanted the little welder, I would give it to them.

Asa Crowe was one of the students with that burning look. She talked to me after class about writing, photography, and welding. She lived in Donnellson, actually, Charleston (next to New Boston) and was a junior at Central Lee High School. She asked if I was serious about giving the welder away. I told her I was.

Sometime later, on a Sunday afternoon, Asa dropped by with her mother to pick up the welder. I wondered if I was doing the right thing, but a man is only as good as his word.

I didn’t hear anything more from Asa for more than a year, and wondered if she was getting any use of the welder. Then this email popped into my inbox, along with a photo: Dear Mr. Swarm, One year and a high school graduation later, things have finally settled down enough for me to get into welding. I attached some pictures of my first project, Humbert the Volkswagon Beetle. You’ve been a huge inspiration to me, as I went through a phase where I started to doubt the benefits of art, but since talking to you and the opportunity that you’ve given me, I’ve really seen the light. I carry a camera with me everywhere (I even got some blue ribbons on my pictures at the fair) and I’m going to try majoring in journalism in the fall. Thank you not only for the generous gift of the welder, but for the dreams.

Best of wishes, Asa Crowe.

I was stunned, pleased, and impressed. So, I met with Asa for lunch and bribed her with strawberry pie to tell me her story. Her parents are Joan Crowe and Andrew Witter. She is an only child, but not spoiled (my observation). She was salutatorian of her graduating class, and is now off to the University of Iowa. One of the teachers who inspired her the most was her music teacher, and an old bud of mine, Daryl Coffin, of Salem. What does she want to do with her degree in journalism? Work for NPR. In studying the sculpture, “Humbert,” that she made from junk, I was a little envious.

So, I found me an old grill and bumper from a ‘47 GMC truck, a couple of hubcaps (for eyes), and two hood springs (for antennae).

I’m gonna make me a “Jimmy.”

Idea copier? Yep. The teacher inspired the student, who in turn, inspired the teacher — a new twist to the epic tale of the student coming back to challenge the master (“Rocky,” “Star Wars”). I’ve experienced this over and over again: the greatest value in teaching is what you learn from the pupils.

Good luck in the future, Asa. I’m a little envious here, also. She doesn’t know this right now, but she has the world by the tail.

Or should it be, tale?

The Scoop

Don’t let Big Oil bully biofuels It’s vacation season across America. That means family road trips are underway and the traveling public is paying even closer attention when they pull up to the pump. America’s road warriors have long cherished affordable gas prices. Today’s drivers also value clean-burning fuel choices that help the environment and boost America’s energy independence.

Look back four decades through the rearview mirror. History shows how the 1973 oil embargo exposed the By Chuck Grassley e c o n o m i c United States Senator risks and geopolitical vulnerabilities associated with perilous dependence on foreign oil. While gas shortages roiled consumers, the embargo gripped the U.S. economy and foreign policy with steep consequences. Since then, policymakers have worked to bring greater stability to U.S. energy security, such as creation of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and more domestic production, conservation (fuel economy standards) and diversification, including incentives for homegrown, clean-burning, renewable biofuels.

Most recently, Congress created the Renewable Fuel Standard in 2005 to promote the development and use of domestic renewable biofuels. We also supported the expansion in 2007 to bring 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels online annually by 2022. The federal law has helped to displace oil imports, increase domestic energy security, create jobs in rural America, curb pollution with cleaner-burning fuel and lower prices at the pump for consumers.

Pure and simple, the RFS is good for America’s energy, environmental and economic stability. In recent years, Congress also has enacted provisions to promote the installation of blender pumps at gas stations nationwide, providing consumers with a greater choice of fuels.

And yet, the nation’s energy

policy is running into some bumps in the road. For starters, the EPA last fall pitched a misguided proposal to greatly reduce the RFS for fiscal 2014. The proposed rule would lower the volume targets for advanced biofuels from 3.25 billion gallons to 2.2 billion gallons. This proposal is causing uncertainty that may scare off future investments in this promising, innovative industry.

Biofuels also are facing stiff resistance from Big Oil. This time, it’s not OPEC putting a stranglehold on the marketplace, it is instead the powerful oil industry that reports show is blocking the pipeline for biofuels to get to market.

Last fall, we asked the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission to investigate possible anticompetitive practices by the oil industry.

We shared concerns we heard that oil companies allegedly are mandating retailers to carry and sell premium gasoline, which as a result prevents the use of the retailer from selling renewable fuels without installing expensive infrastructure upgrades. By forcing a franchisee to carry premium gasoline as a condition of carrying regular gas, the oil company may be using its economic power to leverage unreasonable, discriminatory arrangements that are in violation of federal laws. The U.S. Department of Justice and FTC responded with assurances that they are taking steps to identify, prevent and prosecute practices in the petroleum markets that violate anticompetitive or fraudulent business practices.

It’s a long standing tactic for these big international oil companies. On the one hand, Big Oil argues that the RFS is broken because the industry says it can’t mix the higher blends. On the other hand, those same companies appear to be doing everything they can to prevent any widespread investment in infrastructure by their franchisees and smaller stations who are buying and selling their gasoline.

Big oil companies can cry crocodile tears, but it’s their self-inflicted actions that are standing in the way of meeting

the requirements of the Renewable Fuel Standard, not ethanol producers. Big Oil can’t argue it should be repealed because it doesn’t work when it is the ones responsible for ensuring that consumers don’t have the choice for higher ethanol blends.

That’s why we kindly suggest the decision-makers at the U.S. Justice Department and FTC take a close look at a recent investigative study conducted by the Renewable Fuels Association. Its fact-finding analysis shows how oil companies appear to be blocking the sale of greater volumes of renewable fuels through bullying business tactics. Big Oil likes to say it has no control over what’s offered at the pumps of retail gas stations and franchisees. But the facts say otherwise.

The report’s “Consumer Choice Report Card” shows less than one percent of branded stations offer E15 or E85. Specifically, of nearly 48,000 retail gas stations carrying a “Big Five” oil company brand, less than 300 offer E85 or E15. That flunks any reasonable standard of fairness in the marketplace. The report flushes out fuel supply contracts, franchise agreements and other documents that show how Big Oil flexes its authority to undermine the sale of E85 and E15 renewables.

Tellingly, according to the report, independent stations are four to six times more likely to offer E85 and 40 times more likely to offer E15 than stations selling a “Big Five” oil brand. It would be foolish to view these findings as a fluke. Facts are hard to fabricate.

America has mapped out a long-term strategy to pump up competition in the transportation fuels sector, secure innovative cleaner renewable fuels to protect the environment and boost more domestic oil production to help immunize the economy and consumers from dependency on foreign oil.

Let’s not let Big Oil spoil the route to greater, cleaner energy independence. U.S. energy security is not for sale. It’s time to hand over the keys to consumers and let renewables and traditional fossil fuels compete side-by-side at the pump.

paint, colorful clothes and a red nose. She’s been playing the role of clown during the fair parade with grandson Wyatt for nearly 15 years now.

At 6 months old, Marianne said Wyatt would ride in a seat on the back of her bike, as they smiled and threw candy to waving Jasper County kids.

As Wyatt got older, the clown duo upgraded their wheels.

“And then we went to a golf cart. We went high-tech,” she said.

For the parade superintendent, planning for next year starts right after the final float rolls of the Colfax streets. Each year, Larry petitions the fair board to find the next year’s grand marshal and then begins the parade permit procedure, working with the Iowa Department of Transportation and law enforcement agencies to close the city and county streets. Then come several months of phone calls to Jasper County VFW posts, American Legions, fire stations and Shriners.

This year, Larry will pass the superintendent torch to Colfax resident Calvin Miller.

His advice to Miller: Verbal communication is key.

“My advice to Calvin was to talk to people on the phone,” he said. “Email, texting, people don’t respond to you. You haven’t got a clue if people are going to do the parade or not going to do it. You have to talk to people on the phone, and you need to send information out in the mail. I understand progress is progress, but oneon-one talking on the phone is

She’s been a stay-at-home mom, worked in various offices in Des Moines and operated a bus for the Colfax-Mingo School District for 22 years.

But during the Jasper County Fair, the 68-year-old was likely to be found with a toddler on her lap or behind the podium announcing the winner of the little cowboy category as the coordinator of the Baby Review, a county fair favorite.

The review began in the 1960s as an event planned by the Jasper County Jacyeettes but was eventually led by the Colfax Young Women’s Club.

As the group struggled with attendance issues, Marianne gathered the group of gals who once planned the review for the Jacyeettes, now consolidated with the Jaycees, and became the event coordinator.

She held that title for nearly 20 years, eventually moving the event from a hot gym to the air conditioned C-M High School. She says the cool air has brought many more smiles from the mothers who would watch their children strut their stuff on stage for several hours.

Marianne also can be found clowning around during the fair parade. As Larry lined the floats, fire trucks and tractors for their march down the highway, Marianne could be found on a bicycle in face

Jasper County Veteran’s Affairs Director Chris Chartier will deliver his annual report to the board on Tuesday. This report will be based on information from fiscal year 20132014 which ended on June 30.

According to his report, the county now has an estimated 3,100 veterans which is an increase from the previously estimated 3,000. His report also said that 461 new veterans began receiving services through his office increasing the number of vets served to 1,257. In FY 13, that figure was 804.

The report also highlights the partnership with the Retired Senior Volunteer Program to provide veter-

a lot better than trying to do stuff over the computer.”

“And that’s us old school people,” Marianne added.

The parade is an expensive endeavor, and Larry said he’s always been mindful of the budget. The parade is funded by the advertising in the 4-H fair books distributed annually, and it pays for much of the marching entertainment.

Over the years, the superintendent has booked a bagpipe group for $300 and the Des Moines-based Isiserettes for $800. The book also funds prizes for the winning floats.

His biggest financial struggle came during the floods of 2010. As the fair lost revenue

ans rides which dropped his office’s transportation costs by more than 50 percent from the previous year.

Despite an increase in veterans served, the report indicates the VA’s budget shed 22 percent from costs and that the federal VA benefits for the county increased by $2.7 million.

Larry & Diana Ambroson Nutrients In Dried Figs

Nutrient-rich dried figs are high in fiber; a ½-cup serving contains 7 grams. They have soluble fiber, which slows digestion to help control appetite and blood sugar. They also contain insoluble fiber, which adds bulk to stool and improves bowel function. Dried figs are rich in calcium, which supports bone health, and potassium, which helps blunt sodium’s effects and helps lower blood pressure. Dried figs are also a good source of iron, which aids the transport of oxygen into your blood. Figs also contain prebiotics, which support the good bacteria already in the intestines, thereby improving digestion.

due to canceled off-season event bookings, the budget was cut in half, and the goal was to make the strain unnoticeable for spectators. Larry and Marianne said the folks lining the streets didn’t notice a thing.

Larry also said it’s a struggle to book bands. Recently, Larry has been able to book the Colfax-Mingo marching band for the parade, but he says despite letters of invitation, musical groups are difficult to commit.

But Larry says he’s blessed to have had a team during his tenure that has become instinctive in planning each aspect of the parade. He has grown an appreciation for

people like Miller, Glen Miller, Jerry Miller and Phil Butler who do a lot of the ground work, taking names and announcing the parade.

“It takes quite a few people to do this,” he said.

This year, instead of calling the next float or clowning around, the Glassford’s are retired but will take one last trip down Highway 117.

“We’re done,” Larry said.

“Yep, we’re both done,” Marianne added.

“Several thousand people watch this parade. They enjoy it, they have a good time and the kids get a lot of candy,” Larry said. “It’s just fun watching the people having fun.”

Dating scene is frustrating for strong young woman DEAR ABBY: I am a young woman hoping to find “The One.” But I have come to realize that I’m not the normal female. I don’t get manicures or go shopping. (I hate shopping!)

When I meet a guy, he likes that I’m “me,” but if we get serious, then I’m either “too independent,” “too outspoken” or “not girly enough.”

I don’t want to change myself or pretend to be someone I’m not. One minute they like that I’m independent and can fend for myself; the next they don’t like that I don’t depend on them to pay bills, etc.

Why is it always a double standard? Men like strong women until they are with one. Then they can’t handle it. Maybe I’m too much for the men where I live. Is it possible for me to find someone? — INDEPENDENT FEMALE IN LOUISIANA DEAR INDEPENDENT FEMALE: Welcome to the wonderful world of dating. While some may think of dating as a popularity contest, it’s really more like sifting for a gold nugget. It takes a lot of people years to strike gold — and it’s the same with dating. Is it possible to find someone? Absolutely! But it takes time, stamina and a sense of humor to survive the process.

DEAR ABBY: I had a baby girl a month ago and I live with my inlaws. My husband isn’t here right now because of his job.

They are great and very helpful, but I never have any private time with my daughter. Every time she cries, my sisters-in-law pick her up.

When she wants to sleep, they always take her away from me to put her to sleep. Even when I breastfeed,

they are always in the room with me.

I can’t seem to tell them no or ask them to get out of the room. I mean, they are very helpful, and they are leaving in a month for another country, so I understand they want to be with her as much as they can. However, I would still like some time alone with my daughter. Advice? — NEW AT THIS IN HOUSTON DEAR NEW AT THIS: As a mother, it’s up to you to assert yourself and do what is right for your baby. Find the courage to tell your in-laws that you are grateful for their assistance but want privacy when you nurse the baby. It is important that your daughter bond with YOU, and if your sisters-in-law are always tending to her needs, it may be more difficult for you when they leave. I’m sure your pediatrician would back you up.

DEAR ABBY: Would it be OK for an 80-year-old man to take a 50-year-old woman to supper? We often talk together at church. — LOU IN WISCONSIN DEAR LOU: Only if she says yes.

Dr. Steven Rabedeaux (far left, in center) visited with attendees at the barbecue and movie event celebrating his practice’s 30th anniversary.

As it got closer to dusk, crowds made their way to the Maytag Bowl to hear contest winners, get free popcorn and view “The Lego Movie.”

Add flavor and vegetables to your grilling

By Deb Nilles, RD,LD Skiff Medical Center Besides being fun, grilling is a great low fat way to cook.

Everything from the entrée to dessert can be cooked on the grill.

In the mood for a steak?

Try lean cuts of beef such as sirloin, sirloin tip, or eye of round steak. If pork is what you’re hungry for, reach for the tenderloin, center cut or butterfly chops. Poultry may be the most popular grilled meat, but even fish can be cooked on the grill. Remember to remove excess fat from meat and to keep a spray bottle of water nearby so you can subdue flare-ups.

Most meats will benefit from a marinade before hitting the grill. Marinades will help keep fish and poultry moist during cooking, and will

tenderize the lean, less tender cuts of beef and pork. Using an acidic liquid such as wine, vinegar, citrus juice, or tomato juice, will tenderize the meat and add flavor. This tangy marinade works well with all kinds of meat and poultry. Mix 1 cup pineapple juice, 1⁄3 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 small clove garlic, and 1⁄4 cup olive oil together, stirring well. Marinate for at least one hour for the best flavor. Use the marinade as a basting sauce while cooking the meat, but don’t reuse any uncooked marinade.

Another way to add delicious flavor to your barbecue is to rub the meat with a mixture of spices before grilling. These spice mixtures are called “rubs.” A mixture of 2 tsp grated lemon rind, 1⁄8 tsp crushed fennel seeds and 1⁄8 tsp pepper works great on firm

fish. For a rub that works well with chicken, try combining 2 tsp ground ginger, 1⁄2 tsp pepper, 1⁄4 tsp ground nutmeg, 1⁄4 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1⁄4 tsp allspice. Simply rub the meat with the spice mixture, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You’ll have great flavor without the need for extra fat.

Kabobs make it easy to cut back on meat portions and eat more vegetables. Be creative, you can put almost anything on a kabob. Traditional kabobs are made of marinated meat and vegetables. Pearl onions, sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes, chunks of zucchini and yellow squash are all popular vegetables for kabobs. Leave about 1⁄4-inch of “breathing space” between the pieces of food to allow for even cooking. Meat and large vegetables should be cut in 1-inch

chunks. Alternate the meat and vegetables on a skewer and you have a kabob. When using bamboo skewers soak them in water for 10 minutes before using. This will reduce charring and flammability.

Don’t save the grill for just the entree. There’s no reason that vegetables and even fruits can’t soak up the same smoky flavor that meat and poultry does. Onions, yellow squash, and even sweet potatoes are wonderful complements to any meal. And with sweet treats like Fruit Kabobs with Almond Sauce, even the dessert can come from the grill! Fruits and soft vegetables don’t need precooking, but sweet potatoes and other firm vegetables benefit from steaming before cooking on the grill. Fat free salad dressings are great marinades for grilled vegetables so they

KOA keeping up on trends for their campers

Student loan ‘rescue’ companies are no lifeline

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer Celebrating 10 seasons at the KOA campground, located just north of I-80 on East 36th Street off of Iowa Speedway Drive, owners Wayne and Helen Rose have worked hard to keep up with the trends in campground living.

“When people pull into a KOA, they expect full amenities, and that is what we provide,” said Wayne Rose.

An expected part of the camping experience now is wireless Internet and cable.

KOA is equipped with high speed wireless Internet for the whole campground as well as a cable hook up at each site.

“There is an expectation now to have a good, reliable Wi-Fi system,” said Rose.

“Twenty years ago nobody owned a laptop.

Now, not only does a camping unit have a laptop, but all of the kids have tablets. Also, we have our own satellite dish, and every site it hooked up with cable. They can pull right

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News In keeping up with the trends of camping, KOA introduced a cabin for rent two seasons ago.

in hook up and start watching their favorite shows.”

The newest addition to the campground is a dog park located on the south east corner of the park. Studies show about half of the people traveling in campers have dogs, and they found the campers were wanting a place available for the dogs to run around without being leashed.

“Dog parks are really popular, and dogs are like people. They are cooped up in the RV, and they need to

get out and stretch their legs. It has been a good addition to our park,” Rose said.

Another recent addition at KOA is a cabin. It has a queen-sized bed, bunk bed, half bath, flat screen TV and air conditioner.

“We bought one cabin that is a park model. We bought it two years ago, and it has paid for itself. A lot of people rent it out,” Rose said.

With the popularity of the cabin, another unit may be in the future plans at the camp-

ground.

An up-and-coming idea within KOA is having a place for electric cars to dock.

“They know their stuff about camping.

They also stay current on trends in campers, and they take those trends and incorporate them into campground plans so the campgrounds are ready for them. The next thing on the scene is electric cars. There is a segment in KOA working on how to provide for electric cars,” Rose said.

Iowa’s unemployment rate remains 4.4 percent DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained at 4.4 percent in June.

The state’s jobless rate stood at 4.8 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 6.1 percent in June from 6.3 percent in May. “Iowa’s economic expansion increased in June,” Iowa Workforce Development Director Teresa Wahlert said. “While Iowa’s unemployment rate remained unchanged since last month, the second quarter proved prosperous as Iowa’s nonfarm employment gained 10,800 jobs over the past three months, more than offsetting the sluggish first quarter start.”

The number of unemployed Iowans increased to 74,500 in

Business Briefs

June from 73,900 in May. The current estimate is 6,000 lower than the year ago level of 80,500. The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,624,600 in June from 1,624,100 in May. This figure was 500 higher than May, and 32,100 higher than one year ago.

Iowa nonfarm employment totaled 1,549,600 jobs in June, 3. This month’s gain marks the third straight increase, and was the result of job gains in the service sectors; goods producing industries were little changed since May (-100). Government added jobs at the local (+3,100) and state (+1,200) levels, more than offsetting a decline in private services (-1,200). This month’s increase also

leaves Iowa 22,100 jobs higher than one year ago (+1.4 percent).

Other services added the most jobs this month (+900) due to hiring in membership organizations coupled with repair and maintenance shops. Leisure and hospitality also grew this month (+800) as the result of gains in recreational industries. Wholesale trade fueled a gain of 700 jobs in trade and transportation, more than offsetting an unexpected drop in retail trade. Both construction and mining advanced slightly this month, up 200 and 100 jobs, respectively. Alternatively, losses were heaviest in private education industries (-1,700), and generally due to schools beginning the

summer break early.

Professional and business services shed jobs this month in both professional and technical services along with administrative and support staff. Finance decreased for the first time since February (-600), and now remains up just 100 jobs versus this time last year.

Annually, nonfarm employment continues to trend upward with the largest gains being in leisure and hospitality (+4,500), trade and transportation (+4,000), and construction (+3,100).

All sectors of the Iowa economy have added jobs since last June except for Information services (-1,100), as the advances in technology have steadily decreased demand for labor.

As the number of student loans and their amounts continue to rise, so does the number of borrowers looking to lower monthly payments, reduce interest rates, or resolve delinquency or default issues. Some so-called solutions charge high fees for services that borrowers could get elsewhere for free. Others are criminal operations looking to steal identities and money.

Deceptive Methods Many of these student loan “rescue” or “consolidation” businesses rely on deceptive names and websites to imply that they serve an official function. Some companies may lead you to believe that they’re working on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education or another federal or state agency, but these operations are working solely for their own benefit.

You may hear of these outfits through: • Television, radio or Internet ads promising drastically reduced payments, interest rates, or “insider” assistance in handling federal student loan repayment difficulties, such as delinquency or default.

• Unsolicited phone calls offering loan payment assistance. These callers might ask for personal information such as a consumer’s Social Security number, date of birth, U.S. Department of Education PIN or bank account information.

• Internet search results for queries such as “student loan assistance,” “student loan rescue” or “student loan repayment help.” These search results often lead to official-looking websites with names that may include national, federal, and other terms leading borrowers to believe that they’re dealing with a government agency.

Many of these organizations’ promises sound too good to be true. And that’s a red flag that it’s likely a scam.

Rescue Companies Often Carry Risks The outcomes can vary greatly when doing business with student loan rescue companies. Unfortunately, you might not find out what sort of operation you’re dealing with until it’s too late. The most common types of student loan rescue businesses are: • Companies operated by law offices or individual attorneys that offer no benefits to borrowers, other than those they could obtain for free by working with their student loan holder. In essence, these services charge a premium fee (often between $300 and $600) for what often amounts to simple form completion and submission.

• Scams where someone seeks to obtain a borrower’s personal and financial information. These scams will seek access to a borrower’s bank account to “automatically deduct payments,” and then use the information to take additional, if not all, money in the account. They may also use a borrower’s personal information, such as a Social Security number and date of birth to commit identity theft or sell the information to other scammers.

• “Long game” scammers will receive a service fee and down payment, and then collect monthly payments while claiming the funds apply toward the consumer’s loan balance or some form of consolidation or delinquency payment.

To consolidate your student loans, postpone repayment, or lower monthly payments, you should first contact your loan holder directly to request information about your options and available assistance. Monthly billing statements include the loan holder’s name and contact information.

You can obtain additional information regarding repayment plans and borrower assistance through the U.S. Department of Education’s Federal Student Aid website at www.studentaid.gov, or by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center, toll-free, at (800) 433-3243. If you think you’ve been victimized by a student loan rescue scam, file a complaint with the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division.

Cardinals end season in 4A substate opener

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor ANKENY — Down by four runs and two gone in the fourth inning, Newton’s Jordan Travis connected for the Cardinals’ third hit of the game.

The junior saw the play in front of him as he ran to first, round the bag and sprinted toward second base.

Travis saw Ankeny Centennial’s center fielder bobble the ball and he took a chance. He slid in safely to give Newton a scoring opportunity. A wild pitch by the Jaguars’ Keenan Jones allowed Travis to move to third base.

Travis finished off his base running by coming home on a passed ball.

Unfortunately, the Cardinals weren’t afforded enough scoring opportunities by the hosting Jaguars in Friday night’s Iowa Class 4A Substate 7 opening-round game.

Ankeny Centennial added four runs in the sixth stretching its lead

to 8-1. The Jaguars quashed Newton’s seventh-inning threat to win the game. The Cardinals drew back-toback walks off Jones to start the seventh then had two batters strikeout.

Chandler Sturtz, senior shortstop, singled to load the bases. Jones got junior Tyler Wood to ground out to first base for the final out.

“We didn’t hit the ball as much as we should have tonight. We knew we’d have to play almost perfect to advance,” Newton co-head coach Pat Riley said.

Sturtz said the team went into the game with “a good shot” to win it and just to battle.

“They were going to throw their best (pitcher) and we were going to throw our best (pitcher) and see what happens,” Sturtz said. “The big difference tonight is they got hits with people in scoring position and we didn’t.”

Wood started on the mound for the Cardinals, but gave way to senior Der-

ek Wrage in the second inning with two outs. Wood took the loss and was charged with four runs on four hits and four walks.

Wrage went 3 1/3 innings in relief, giving up four runs on eight hits and one walk. He struck out three batters.

Travis came on in the sixth, allowing one hit and walking one.

Jones limited the Cardinal hitters to five hits over seven innings and the senior left-hander struck out 11.

Wrage had two singles. Travis singled.

Sturtz hit a double and a single.

“We wanted to win but it was a nice way to go out for me,” Wrage said of his final game for NHS. “We played a good game. As a team, we came a long way this season. We started playing better at the end of the season and that’s what you want to do. All the younger kids stepped up when we needed them to and I think they have a bright future ahead of them.”

McIlroy wins British Open HOYLAKE, England (AP) — Walking off the 18th green as the British Open champion, Rory McIlroy kept gazing at all the greats on golf ’s oldest trophy.

On the claret jug, his name is etched in silver below Phil Mickelson.

In the record book, he is listed behind Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the youngest to McIlory get three legs of the career Grand Slam.

And over four days at Royal Liverpool, he had no equal.

“I’m immensely proud of myself,” McIlroy said after his two-shot victory

Sunday that was never really in doubt.

“To sit here, 25 years of age, and win my third major championship and be three-quarters of the way to a career Grand Slam ... yeah, I never dreamed of being at this point in my career so quickly.”

He had to work a little harder than he wanted for this one.

Staked to a six-shot lead going into the final round, McIlroy turned back every challenge. He made two key birdies around the turn, and delivered a majestic drive at just the right moment to close with a 1-under 71 and complete his wire-to-wire victory.

In another major lacking tension over the final hour, what brought The Open to life was the potential of its champion.

of the three seniors — Sturtz, Wrage and Evan Shimon. He said all three did a great job all year for the Cardinals.

“Evan was steady behind the plate for us and Wrage had a good season on the mound. Chandler played shortstop and pitched some for us,” Tisdale said. “We’ve got juniors coming back and some other young kids who will step up for us.”

Tisdale said the Cardinals’ final record doesn’t indicate how well the team was playing at the end of the season. He said Newton had a good team, “but we allowed a few games get away from us with one bad inning here or there.”

The loss brought to close the 2014 season for the Cardinals. They were 14-20 overall and finished fifth in the Little Hawkeye Conference at 10-11.

Elliott holds off Bayne for Nationwide win JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Chase Elliott is proving to be a quick study. A few questions for his teammates and a couple practice laps, and he was ready to roll in his first race at Chicagoland Speedway.

Elliott held off Trevor Bayne to earn his third Nationwide Series win of the season Saturday night, putting the rookie on top of the standings.

“We had an awesome race going,” Elliott said. “I try to make the most of my practice laps. They gave me a good car. That gives me time to learn the track in practice.”

Elliott had a strong car all day long for JR Motorsports, qualify-

ing third and leading a race-high 85 laps. Bayne tried to chase him down on fresh tires in the final laps, but ran out of time.

“The gap was closing,” Bayne said. “Probably 10 more laps, but we’ll never know.”

Elliott, the son of former NASCAR champion Bill Elliott, also won in his first trips to Texas and Darlington this year. He leads the standings by seven points over Regan Smith.

Chase Elliott said Smith and Kasey Kahne provided some importance advice about the track.

Lynnville-Sully ready for Kee in state tournament opener

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Madison Rasmusson, junior pitcher, leads Lynnville-Sully’s Hawsk into a second straight appearance at the Iowa Class 1A State Softball Tournament at Fort Dodge. Rasmusson has been the pitching ace for the Hawks the past two seasons, going 34-1 this year.

SULLY — One pitch, one at-bat, one batter, one inning and one game at a time.

It’s simple. It’s LynnvilleSully Hawk softball. And it works well.

“The girls have been focused on Tuesday’s game.

They are not looking ahead.

We’ve had a good week of practice,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Stacey Alberts said. “The great part about this team is they are great kids, who get along well together. They love to play softball and they have fun on the field. They build off each other, and that’s fun to see.”

The second-ranked Hawks go into this week’s 2014 Iowa Class 1A State Softball Tournament the same way they’ve played all season. Lynnville-Sully (34-1) plays Kee (32-8) in the opening round at 1 p.m.

Tuesday on Mittera Field at Harlan and Hazel Rogers Park in Fort Dodge.

The winner plays in the semifinals Thursday against the winner of the fourthranked AGWSR (27-6) versus 11th-ranked Marquette Catholic (34-6). Six of the top 11 ranked teams in Class 1A are in the eight-team bracket.

In the other side of the bracket is top-ranked and undefeated Akron-Westfield (35-0) which plays GliddenRalston (14-11) Tuesday.

Fifth-ranked Wayne (27-6) takes on sixth-ranked Martendales-St. Marys (25-4).

The loser of Tuesday’s game drops into the consolation bracket. The consolation bracket games will all be played on Wednesday to determine fifth through eighth place at the state tournament.

The Class 1A semifinals are Thursday at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The third-

place game is at 9:30 a.m.

Friday while the championship game is at 10 a.m.

Lynnville-Sully claimed fifth at the 2013 state softball tournament. The Hawks are making their fourth state tournament appearance in five years. Alberts has been at the helm of the softball team for nine years.

“We don’t know much about (Kee) except what we see on paper. They are young in the pitching circle and it appears they like to swing away at the ball,” Alberts said. “Basically, we’re going in focused on playing our game — the game that got us this far this season.”

It’s going to be Hawks against Hawks Tuesday. Both teams have strong pitchers, but offensively, they play different styles — small ball versus power hitting.

State: Lynnville-Sully focuses on what it does best for state run Continued from Page 1B Kee of Lansing, which is in the northeast corner of the state, is making its second trip to a state softball tournament in its history. The Hawks are under the direction of fourth-year coach Liz Hill.

Kee began Hill’s tenure going 4-26 in 2010-11 and 0-25 in 2011-12. A year ago Kee turned the corner with a 15-14 season.

Kee’s starting pitchers are cousins to the head coach — Courtney Cooper, a freshman, and Kendra Cooper, who is an eighth-grader. Kendra Cooper is 20-4 pitching for the Kee Hawks with

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lynnville-Sully senior Jade Van Rees lays down a bunt during the Hawks’ regional tournament title game.

Playing small ball is the Hawks’ trademark on the softball diamond and they take that to this week’s 2014 Iowa Class 1A Softball State Tournament in Fort Dodge.

a 1.63 earned run average and Courtney Cooper is 12-5 with a 1.91 ERA. Kendra Cooper has 161 strikeouts and Courtney Cooper has 144 strikeouts.

The Coopers are the top home run hitters for Kee — Kendra with seven and Courtney with 6.

Kee has 22 home runs as a team among its 111 extra-base hits this season. The Kee Hawks have 70 doubles and 19 triples.

Kee has six upperclassmen on its team with three senior and three juniors.

Lynnville-Sully is led by four starting seniors in left fielder Kristal Beyer, catcher Becca Vos, first baseman Shaylin Lukehart and second baseman Jade Van Rees. The driving force from the pitching circle is junior Madison Rasmusson, who is 64-6 as a starter the past two seasons for the Hawks.

“We’re strong throughout our batters. We have each others back, offensively and defensively,” Vos said about the key to success for the Lynnville-Sully team. “This is awesome to be going back to state again this year. We just have faith in each other.”

Defensively, Lynnville-Sully has held its opponents to 134 hits and 42 runs this season. The Hawks have made 44 fielding errors.

Rasmusson (34-1) goes into the state tournament with a 0.79 ERA over 196 innings pitched.

She notched 174 strikeouts while issuing only 27 walks and hitting two batters.

“This is really exciting to help get this group of seniors back to state,” Rasmusson said. “I don’t want them to leave. I want to keep on playing ball with them so to go to state again with them is tremendous for me and for the team.”

Lynnville-Sully has a team batting average of .394 with 363 hits and scoring 351 runs. Sophomore Kasiah Ehresman, who hits second behind

Rasmusson, has a team-leading .594 batting average and leads the team with 59 stolen bases in 62 attempts.

Rasmusson hits at a .500 clip with four home runs, eight triples and six doubles. She is 46-of48 in stolen base attempts. Junior shortstop Shelby Davis, who came back from a knee injury suffered during volleyball season, has pounded out six home runs. Davis has driven in 48 runs and scored 42, hitting at .412.

“Going to state means a lot to me after missing six months of athletics with the knee injury. To come back and play softball with this team and go to state is fantastic,” said Davis, who is 28-of-28 stealing bases this season.

Van Rees is a .364 hitter with 21 RBIs and 24 runs scored, plus has 12 stolen bases. Lukehart has driven in 24 runs while scoring 33 this season, hitting .330. Junior center fielder Lysandra James is hitting .291 with two home runs.

“We have worked hard all year for this opportunity to go back to state. We’re ready,” Beyer said.

Freshman Brenna Lanser, who plays third base, hits at .301. Junior Riley Rockwell plays right field for Lynnville-Sully.

“We have a big community supporting us and it’s awesome to experience this again,” Lukehart said.

Lynnville-Sully is known for its small-ball play — singles, bunts for singles, slap hits, moving runners around to score, stealing bases.

“Small ball is what we do. That is what makes us, us,” Van Rees said. “We have the speed and we run the bases well.”

So, softball fans will see two contrasting styles in Tuesday’s state tournament opener between Lynnville-Sully and Kee. It will be small ball against power.

Nationwide: Scott wins the Dash 4 Cash bonus at Chicagoland Continued from Page 1B “I did have some questions that I asked, and I definitely think that helped tonight,” he said. “So thankful to have a couple great teammates and good to have something to lean back on with those guys.”

Kyle Larson was third, followed by Kahne and Ty Dillon to round out the top five.

Brian Scott, who started on the pole, finished sixth and earned $100,000 in the second event of the four-race “Dash 4 Cash” bonus program.

Kahne and Larson were the lone Sprint Cup regulars in the field on an off weekend for NASCAR’s top series.

Everyone comes back to Chicagoland in September on the same weekend that the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship begins at the 1.52-mile oval.

The night began with a pair of Richard Childress Racing teammates in front after Scott and Dillon had the best showing in qualifying. It was Scott’s second pole of the season and No. 4 for his career. He won his first Nationwide Series pole at Chicagoland on Sept. 17, 2011.

Scott led for 20 laps before Elliott

Baseball: Strong core returns in ‘15 for Cards Continued from Page 1B “We didn’t win as many games as we would have liked this year, but as Derek said, we were playing better at the end of the season,” Shimon said. “We cleaned up the little things that plagued us early. Tonight, I didn’t think about it being my last game. It will probably hit me later, but we were out to win and move on. I tried to give it my all and have no regrets.”

Sturtz said the 2014 Cardinals were a great team to play with this season. He said the team had a good mix of guys coming back and younger players to have a good season.

“We hit our stride half way through the season and were playing good ball at the end,” Sturtz said. “I did think of it being my last game but put that out of my mind quickly before the game. We wanted to keep on play. It goes by fast.”

“We lose three quality seniors, who were key to what we did this season,” said Riley. “We have the core of our pitchers returning and some good young players coming up. The future is bright for Newton baseball.”

old Jones won the Truck Series race last week at Iowa in the No. 51 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota he shares with Busch. Jones also won a Truck

race last year in Phoenix.

Jones is expected to make two more Nationwide starts in Matt Kenseth’s car this season.

“It was definitely a learning experience for me and everybody involved,” he said. “I feel like I learned a lot the whole night and really picked up on some things that will help me through the next couple.”

Jones got some advice from Busch in preparation for his first run in the series.

“A lot of what we talked about was working through traffic and it definitely helped out,” Jones said. “It was something I was able to apply right away tonight and use to my advantage.”

Smith, who led the series standings by eight points over Elliott Sadler coming into the day, started 15th after a disappointing qualifying session, and it just got worse during the race. He never got into the mix on his way to 16th place.

It was similar to last year, when Smith was on top of the series heading into the first stop at Chicagoland, and then slid into the infield on Lap 129 and finished 13th. He had the same finish in the September race at the same track.

British Open: McIlory wins third career major Continued from Page 1B After nearly two years of turmoil, McIlroy looked like the kid who shattered scoring records to win the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional, and who won the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island by a record eight shots a year later.

Boy Wonder is back. Or maybe he’s just getting started again.

McIlroy won by two shots over Sergio Garcia and Rickie Fowler to become the first start-to-finish winner since Woods at St. Andrews in 2005. Even with one major left this year, the Northern Irishman already is looking ahead to Augusta National next April for a shot at the slam.

“I’ve really found my passion again for golf,” McIlroy said. “Not that it ever dwindled, but it’s what I think about when I get up in the morning. It’s what I think about when I go to bed. I just want to be the best golfer that I can be. And I know if I can do that, then trophies like this are within my capability.”

McIlroy put an end to this major with a powerful drive down the fairway at the par-5 16th, setting up a two-putt birdie to restore his lead to three shots.

He finished with two pars, tapping in for par on the 18th green.

The hard part was trying not to cry when his mother, Rosie, came onto the green with tears streaming down her face. She was not at the other two majors. Before leaving, McIlroy turned and applauded the fans in the horseshoe arena who were witness to another masterpiece.

This could have been another romp except for a shaky stretch early for McIlroy, and solid efforts from Garcia and Fowler.

Garcia pulled within two shots with four holes to play until he put his tee shot in a pot bunker just right of the 15th green. His first shot failed to get over the 4-foot sodden wall and rolled back into the sand. He made bogey, and two birdies over the final three holes were not enough. Garcia shot 66 and was runner-up in a major for the fourth time.

“I think that we gave it a good effort,” Garcia said.

“And there was someone a little bit better.”

Fowler, playing in the final group for the second straight major, didn’t do anything wrong. He just didn’t do enough right to make up a six-shot deficit.

Fowler played without a bogey, made three birdies on the last four holes and shot 67.

McIlroy, who finished at 17-under 271, wasn’t the only big winner Sunday. Ten years ago, his father and three of his friends each put up 100 pounds ($170) at 500-1 odds that McIlroy would win the British Open before he turned 26.

The kid made good on the bet with a brand of golf that had him marked early as golf ’s next great player.

McIlroy moved up to No. 2 in the world, perhaps on his way to regaining the No. 1 ranking that once looked as if it would be his for years. He ended the 2012 season by winning his second major and capturing the money title on the PGA Tour and European Tour.

Since then, the road has been bumpier than some of the dunes at Hoylake.

McIlroy signed a megadeal with Nike and switched out all his equipment. He changed management for the second time, leading to lawsuits that are still to be decided. And after getting engaged to Caroline Wozniacki on New Year’s Eve, he abruptly broke off the engagement in May with a telephone call.

His path to victory in The Open was much smoother.

McIlroy made back-to-back bogeys on the front nine and had to save par from a pot bunker to avoid a third. But he steadied himself with a birdie on the par-3 ninth, and when Garcia made a 10-foot eagle ahead of him on the 10th to cut the lead to two, McIlroy answered with a two-putt birdie.

Garcia blinked when he could least afford it, leaving a shot in the bunker at No. 15 as McIlroy watched from the tee.

Jim Furyk was among four players who tied the course record with a 65 to finish fourth. Tiger Woods was long gone. Woods finished 69th — his worst finish over 72 holes in any major — and wound up 23 shots behind, his largest deficit ever in a major.

Business Card Headquarters!

Uranus, the planet of chaos, revolution, excitement and change, has decided to give us a reprieve.

Typically, when planets go retrograde, it activates the worst in them. But Uranus is such a bad boy to begin with that the change of direction tends to activate his more docile side — if such a side exists. We shall see over the next five months.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 21). You have an attraction secret that you use often this year to bring the most interesting people and circumstances into your world. It’s your attitude — you stay in the moment instead of wishing things were different. It will bring you money in August, love in September and travel in October.

A new Capricorn or Leo person adores you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 24, 39, 7 and 18.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Indifference has a way of attracting people, as you’ll be reminded today.

The thing or person you don’t care about will seem to follow you from place to place, asking for your approval.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You will be thankful for the opportunities of the day before you even know what they are. You expect doors to open up, and you’ll keep your eyes open for such things, fully aware that the best doors don’t look like doors at all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). More and more, you think about the things that would be fun for you — maybe a trip, maybe a class or a break or some time to yourself.

Who can help you make that happen? Make the call.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You know when enough is enough. Your social intelligence tells you when too much is too much. You don’t always follow that voice in your head, but you acknowledge when it’s right.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Confucius said there is beauty everywhere but not everyone can see it. You can see it. You can see it more vividly than the others, and you’ll communicate this effectively.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Being the most popular isn’t always being the best. That’s what you’re figuring out these days as you weigh your popularity against the hard evidence of numbers. Should adjustments be made?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re really wise.

Have you ever considered that maybe your ideas are the best, but people are just not listening to you because they have their own agenda? Don’t discredit your wisdom.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s a sense that you’re not letting yourself be as big, strong, powerful or loud as you could be, that you’re holding something back in good taste and good judgment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Skillful actors know when to go for the laugh, but they also know when to kill it in order to go for an even bigger payoff later. You will be navigating a similar decision this afternoon.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will aspire to be the best, understanding fully that “the best” isn’t always the most awarded or promoted person. Time will tell, because often “the best” can only be determined in retrospect.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In today’s case, new ideas are just old ideas turned upside down or sideways or snuggled up against other ideas you’ve had in the past. So don’t worry about coming up with anything. Just play with what you already have.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Healthy communication is clear, concise and honest and reflects high self-esteem. When you feel the conversation drift off course, take responsibility for it and try to bring it back — you may be the only one who knows how.
