Ridiculous Day returns to downtown Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Save your pennies, Ridiculous Day in downtown Newton is Saturday.

Back at the end of July, Ridiculous Day, sponsored by the Newton Chamber of Commerce, has new activities and entertainment for shoppers looking for a bargain.

“We are going to have Art Junkie do some face

painting, an acoustic guitarist will be playing music for shoppers and the Fairy Godmothers will be selling lemonade as a fundraiser,” Newton Price Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Amanda Price said. “All of

those people will be scattered around on the sidewalks as their own little sidewalk sale.

They hopefully will also guide people all the way around the square and make it a fun shopping atmosphere.”

New this year, a “Ridiculous Race” will take place throughout local businesses. Based on the television show “The Amazing Race,” a team of four people will get clues that will lead them

to local businesses and landmarks. Teams will participate in challenges at the businesses with prizes for those who place first, second and third.

“It will be really fun. Some of the businesses involved are getting some really cool and unique challenges for the teams to do. I’m really excited to see how it goes,” Price said.

Also for the first time, shoppers will have the opportunity to sign up for a special

giveaway — a one-of-a-kind ring from the Jeweler’s Bench.

Owner Jeff Roush designed a ring just for Ridiculous Day. It’s valued at $180, Price said.

Shoppers will be able to sign up at each chamber business around the square, giving them more than one shot at the ring, depending on how many times they enter.

Grand opening promotes fishing, hiking at Quarry Springs Park

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News COLFAX — Many families battled the heat Saturday spending the morning at one of Jasper County’s newest attractions, Quarry Springs Park in Colfax, for its grand opening that included several activities that showcase what the park has to offer.

The main event was a kids fishing derby, which kicked off the day at 9 a.m. and had nearly 70 kids casting their lines into Quarry Springs’ lake competing to reel in the largest catch.

The competition had families staking out their fishing spots for two hours around the park’s west lake. Some of the reported

fish caught Saturday were several bluegills, a 16.5-inch catfish and a 20-inch garfish.

Following the two-hour long derby, children then cleaned up and made their way to the prize giveaway ceremony where winners chose one of many prizes available including brand new fishing poles, tackle boxes, camping gear and coupons for local stores around Colfax. Every kid in each age group walked away with a prize.

A freewill lunch featured hamburgers, chips and beverages for guests. According to Doug Garrett, who is the Colfax Park and Recreation Auxiliary Board President, donations for the day totaled $324 and another $294 was raised from the selling of

Quarry Springs Park apparel items. The money will be used in the progression of the new park as the board continues transforming the former gravel quarry into an outdoor recreational complex.

The 480-acre land was formerly known as Martin Marietta Materials Inc. until Colfax obtained ownership of it in April of 2015. A master plan for the park was released one year later.

The auxiliary board, a 501(c)3 nonprofit in charge of park operations, opened the property to the public on May 1 offering fishing, hiking and camping, but volunteers wanted to work out the kinks before a grand opening.

WENS is solid, but not only alert format Weather radios cover most of Iowa

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Being signed up to receive notifications with a wireless emergency notification system, or WENS, is highly recommended, says Jasper County Emergency Management Agency Director Jim Sparks.

However, while text messag-

ing and/or email alerts are highly effective ways for firefighters, law enforcement and weather centers to get information to the public, the most reliable way to get emergency weather information, Sparks said, is still by using a weather radio. There is a place for both types of services.

“To me, weather radios are still the best and most consistent way to find out

w h a t you need to know,” Sparks said. “Cellular signals are much more reliable than in the past, but there is still a delay, and you nev-

Sparks said the main reasons emergency management agencies have embraced text and email alerts involve any member of a staff being able to send out fresh, localized information from a variety of mobile devices, whereas radio broadcasts must be created from a manned station — usually by a trained radio operator.

Iowa unemployment rate nudged up in June Newton Daily News Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Doyle & DeVoe Iowa Realty have been having fun for more than 10 years with themed photos for their advertising, including several eye-catching billboards.

Doyle & DeVoe have fun and get creative

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Business often have to find new and creative ways to promote their work. That is exactly what Doyle & DeVoe Iowa Realty has been doing for more than 10 years.

Starting in 2005, the team began focusing on billboard advertising. To catch the eye of potential customers, the business did more than put up a smiling picture with some words.

“We have done Wizard of Oz, Santa Claus, Duck Dynasty, Adams Family, Snow White, Beverly Hillbillies, Gilligan’s Island, Star Wars,” agent Toni Peska said. “We have also done some more local themes, from sledding in the park, to an NHS Football theme, complete with players, cheerleaders and band members.”

Peska said she isn’t sure who came up with the initial idea for the themed advertising but that it has since turned into a group

endeavor.

“The agents make suggestions when they have an idea, some come from staff and even our family members,” Peska said.

“One billboard featured the Iowa Speedway. Another was to point out the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.”

Once a theme is selected, work begins to make it happen.

The team has to find a location that fits the theme and gather props to make the picture come alive.

“We have borrowed props from our local Newton Community Theatre, which we very much appreciate,” Peska said.

“Other times we find things we have at home, but on occasion we have to rent costumes from the Theatrical Shop in Valley Junction. That was the case with the Star Wars theme. Not many of us have Chewbacca, Darth Vader or Imperial Soldier costumes in our closets.”

Peska said the goal of the themed billboards and advertis-

ing is to entertain as well as show off the team and company. Doyle & DeVoe has several billboards in the Newton and Grinnell area with the newest going up on Highway 6 near Grinnell.

“People comment about the billboards and ask what the next one is going to feature. That makes us all happy — the notion that people enjoy the various theme(s),” Peska said.

As far as a favorite theme, Peska said if you ask five different people, you would probably get five different answers. Her favorite though, was the elaborate Star Wars theme.

Doyle & DeVoe, located at 736 N. Third Ave. E., is a real estate agency which works to go above and beyond service for both buyers and sellers with inhouse closing agents allowing them to handle all aspects of the real estate process.

Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased slightly to 4 percent in June from 3.9 percent in May, according to Iowa Workforce Development.

The state’s jobless rate was 3.6 percent a year ago.

The United States unemployment rate rose to 4.9 percent in June, compared with 4.7 percent in May. “Despite the increase in the unemployment rate in June, reaching the highest level since November 2014, Iowa’s businesses added 5,100 jobs last month,” IWD Director Beth Townsend said.

Townsend said her agency is developing programs to help spur economic growth and close the skills gap.

“Good paying, secure jobs continue to be available in Iowa,” she said.

The number of unemployed Iowans rose to 68,100 in June from 66,600 in May and is up 6,300 from a year ago. The total number of working Iowans decreased to 1,642,900 in June.

Iowa house prices, sales increased in June Business Record June house sales increased 3.8 percent from a year ago and prices were up 2 percent, the Iowa Association of Realtors said.

The median sales price rose to $156,000 from $153,000 in June 2015, according to a release. Sales increased to 4,998 from 4,817 over the one-year period. For the first half of 2016, sales are up 4.6 percent. It took an average 75 days to sell a house in June, compared with 69 a year ago.

“Regions across the country experience high highs and low lows, but Iowa continues to increase in value and popularity,” Realtors President Ken Clark said in the release.

Another creep higher sends S&P 500 to record high, again NEW YORK (AP) — Another day, another lazy drift higher for stocks and another record high.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 9.86 points, or 0.5 percent, to 2,175.03 on Friday.

It surpassed its prior record set Wednesday by 0.09 percent, the latest nudge higher for a market that has taken a decidedly slow-and-steady path to all-time highs in recent weeks.

Telecom and utility stocks led the way, as they have for much of this year.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 53.62 points, or 0.3 percent, to 18,570.85. The Nasdaq composite rose 26.26, or 0.5 percent, to 5,100.16. The gains sent all three indexes to their fourth consecutive win-

ning week, their longest streak since March.

Many doubts still hang over the market, including the continued drop for corporate earnings and a U.S. economy that is growing only modestly.

But various earnings and economic reports have come in better than expected, and the S&P 500 is up nearly 9 percent since June 27.

Southwestern Energy had the biggest gain in the S&P 500 following its own better-than-expected earnings report. It lost money in the latest quarter, but less than analysts estimated. The producer of natural gas and oil also raised its forecast for production this year, and its stock jumped $1.26, or 9.5 percent, to $14.47.

Email birth announcements to newsroom@newtondailynews.com

American Airlines Group likewise rose despite reporting a drop in earnings. It climbed $1.40, or 4 percent, to $36.36 after reporting better results than analysts expected.

The telecom and utilities sectors each rose 1.3 percent to lead the market. They have been at the forefront of the market’s rise this year because they pay some of the biggest dividends, and investors are scrounging for income given the low interest rates paid by bonds.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note held steady at 1.56 percent, while the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond ticked down to 2.28 percent from 2.29 percent late Thursday.

Honeywell International fell $3.05, or 2.6 percent, to $115.61. The company reported stronger earnings than analyst expected, but it also lowered its forecast for fullyear sales. It helped hold the industrial sector to the weakest gains of the day among the 10 sectors that make up the S&P 500, up 0.1 percent.

Fridays’ gains were the latest in a steady march higher for stocks. The S&P 500 has not had a day where it moved by 1 percent, up or down, in the last two weeks. It’s a sharp turnaround from the end of June, when worries about the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union sent the S&P 500 to six straight days where it swung at least 1 percent.

The biggest loss for the S&P 500 over that span was Thursday’s drop of 0.4 percent. And investors quickly snapped up stocks the following day.

“I think people are a little more sensitized, where any tick lower in the market creates this ‘buy-on-the-dip’ mentality,” said Brian Jacobsen, chief portfolio strategist at Wells Fargo Funds Management. “I think it’s interesting; a half-apercent move down feels like a 5 percent move.”

Next week could be more exciting. The Bank of Japan and Federal Reserve both hold policy meetings. Record-low interest rates and big stimulus programs from central banks have pushed stocks higher since the financial crisis.

Local & State News “I’m very excited to watch this property develop into something very special the next few years,” he said.

Garrett introduced many other guest speakers Saturday including U.S. Congressman Dave Loebsack.

Loebsack, who visited the park last summer, said he can see the land becoming a destination and will try to help it progress any way he can.

“What I can promise you is that I’ll continue to do what I can to work going forward to see if there is any kind of funding available for this wonderful project,” Loebsack said. “I came out here in August of last year, and it was clear to me the kind of potential

Continued from Page 1A Garrett shared the land’s history of the past two years during a ceremony Saturday afternoon. He then gave a special appreciation to Neal Grant, former Martin Marietta Material Inc. district land manager, for working with the auxiliary board in making the transfer of ownership happen.

Grant thanked Colfax in his response and said Martin Marietta Materials Inc. was happy to make this project happen as a way to give back to the community.

Murals Continued from Page 1A painted by artist Carl Homstad, and its members are working with two master of fine arts students from the University of Iowa on this effort.

In a Hometown Pride visioning process, Newton committee members determined priorities of community and the where there was a current need.

The murals identified were painted in the early 2000s, and it was established that after 10 to 15 years there would be some deterioration.

“We determined what we could do ourselves and with some we needed outside help, and one of the places that I wanted to look for people to help us was with student teams at UI and Iowa State. They are great assets,” Jasper County Hometown Pride Community Coach Jeff Davidson said.

Davidson went to the University of Iowa School

of Art and Art History in Iowa City and spoke to administration about collaboration. A student project was negotiated and the university is paying for the mural assessment by two of its master of fine art students — Halle Siepman, of Los Angeles, Calif., and Lee White, of Buffalo Prairie, Ill. “They have been great, and very enthusiastic, and it’s a great opportunity for them with their education at the University of Iowa,” Davidson said.

The project can be divided into four phases, Siepman said.

“Our ultimate goal is to revive Carl’s large-scale, beautiful murals throughout Newton and ensure their longevity,” Siepman said.

In phase one of the project, a pre-assessment, Siepman and White met with a group of four local leaders to discuss the murals and went on a downtown tour in June. They met with Bryan Friedman and Erin Chambers,

Open House –1st Avenue E Overlay and Safety Improvements Project Tuesday, July 26, 2016 4:30 - 6:30 PM Newton City Hall 101 W 4th Street S The City of Newton is planning a project for 2017 that will mill and overlay 1st Avenue E and from the 1300 block to E 28th Street.

The project will include the construction of sidewalks on both sides of 1st Avenue E from the 1300 block to Iowa Speedway Drive.

To improve safety, changing the lane striping from the existing 4-lanes to 3-lanes is being proposed (results from 14 Iowa cities with a similar traffic volume indicate a 4-lane to 3-lane conversion reduces accidents by an average of 50%).

“We walked the downtown area to familiarize them with the projects,” Showalter said. “Halle and Lee are nice people, and are very knowledgeable. We’re very excited about that part of it, getting information from other people who are better informed.”

In phase two of the project, Siepman and Lee spent July 3-4 in Newton for a thorough assessment.

Information was gathered at each mural including dimensions, primers, concerns, art mediums and evidence of structural damage. A mural sketch was made for documentation and a list of products and materials were determined.

In phase three, a written documentation will be presented to the Newton Hometown Pride committee which will determine how to proceed with the information.

them to come and take a look at it to give us an idea — find out if they are still viable and what we can do to protect them. We will look at the price of each mural and decide what we want to go from there,” Showalter said.

Phase four is the repair, restore and paint process.

“Murals bring the community together. We want to revive and maintain the vision of these murals for future generations to enjoy,” White said.

The students are currently working on the written assessment which will be given to Newton Hometown Pride, and further action will be determined this fall.

“These murals are great and they’ve become signatures in Newton. We want to make sure these continue to be nice looking murals and look great because they are important parts of the community,” Davidson said.

Editor’s note: This column originally published Aug. 3, 2015. or whatever reason I have a certain knack for becoming ill during trips just occasionally enough to make it unpredictable, but not unexpected.

Generally it’s not sniffles or the flu but something completely obnoxious — like pink eye or an ear infection.

Sidenote: If an emergency room doctor in San Diego tells you you’ll be fine to fly after two days of medication to treat a serious ear infection, he is full of it.

You will nearly die before reaching the Des Moines International Airport.

So since my luck with health and travel has been dicey, it shouldn’t have

F

been too surprising that I started feeling wretched the evening before a weekend getaway with my son.

Truth be told, I’d planned a trip with my little guy for two reasons. The main reason was my husband somehow managed to sneak away for a five-day fishing trip with the guys. I marked this something very sarcastic on my calendar, and began making my own plans.

The secondary reason is school is right around the corner, and I decided some shopping was in order. What’s more patriotic than shopping at the Mall of America?

Having booked our stay at the hotel featuring the cleverly named Water Park of America, my son was pumped and so was I — until I got sick. Fortunately, I was able to get enough extra

sleep to manage the drive, in part due to my staff rallying in my unplanned absence Friday morning.

However, by the time we arrived I was wiped out. I had enough strength to sit poolside and read a book. I was grateful my son has had a youth that’s included swimming lessons and that he’s responsible enough to check in from time to time. I remember the years of hovering over him near water and also the summer it was evident he could fly solo. That milestone is almost as rewarding as a potty-trained child.

Later that night I started feeling bad again and was very appreciative that my son nursed me back to health, making runs to the gift shop for water and ibuprofen. By morning I was nearly back to my old self and ready to tackle our day.

The idea that I’d get any type of serious shopping accomplished on this trip is quite laughable in hindsight. We spent the majority of our day in the aquarium (you can pet stingrays for crying out loud!) and at the Nickelode-

on-themed amusement park in the center of the mall.

Besides, no matter how many times you look at the map and ask mall employees — nobody can easily direct you to your favorite stores. I had to bribe my son with both sugar and Legos (another large chunk of time was spent at this shop, conveniently located near the rides) in order to make our way to a handful of them.

In the end, I managed to find a couple of outfits for the kid, but my backto-school shopping is nowhere near complete. I enjoyed our second night at the water park much more, even climbing the 10 flights of stairs to experience the raft ride and partaking in a few others.

I’m even happier that I seem to be back on the road to health, and perhaps this latest bout of illness has earned me a few healthy trips. But you never can tell.

Eye on America John Stossel

Ignoring politicians My Fox colleagues are in Cleveland, diligently interviewing Republicans. This week, they’ll interview Democrats. I’m glad they do it — because I despise most politicians.

There are exceptions, of course, but after years of reporting, I’ve concluded that most politicians have little to say that’s interesting, and many are craven opportunists, desperate to rule over others.

A few stand out, like former Congressman Anthony Weiner. Like many politicians, he’s never held a real job. He’s run for office or worked for politicians all his life.

Weiner married one of Hillary Clinton’s closest advisers, passionately pushed leftists’ bad ideas and was a member of Congress.

Then a photo of an anonymous man’s bulging underwear was tweeted from his account. He ended up having to resign from Congress.

That embarrassment alone would send most mortals into hiding, but not Weiner. He decided to campaign for mayor of New York City, and New York’s Democrats even forgave him. Polls showed he was the front-runner.

Then came more sleazy stuff. He sent out naked pictures under the name “Carlos Danger.”

A new documentary, “Weiner,” chronicles these events. “This really is a great movie,” says Reason. com’s Anthony Fisher. It illustrates “how sick this drive for elective office can be.”

In the movie, NBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell asks Weiner, “What’s wrong with you?” Weiner doesn’t even understand the question. O’Donnell elaborates, “you cannot seem to imagine a life without elective office?” Weiner still doesn’t get it.

Maybe one needs to be sick to run for office. Weiner is a disciple of New York senator Chuck Schumer.

Schumer famously said, “I was born to legislate.”

This goes to the heart of the political sickness — the need to tell others how to live. As economist Walter Williams puts it, “I respect ordinary thieves more than I respect politicians. Ordinary thieves take my money without pretense. (They don’t) insult my intelligence by proclaiming that they’ll use the money that they steal from me to make my life better.”

In the next weeks, as cameras record every utterance burped up by politicians at the political conventions, I’ll take comfort knowing that when politicians can’t force us to do things, people often ignore them (remember, government is force ; this is why politicians are important, and dangerous).

Here’s another happy story about people ignoring them.

After Anthony Weiner sleazed himself into oblivion, another clueless socialist, Bill de Blasio, was elected mayor of New York. De Blasio embraces every leftist cause. After the restaurant chain Chick-fil-A was attacked by Democratic interest groups because its CEO opposes gay marriage, de Blasio told New Yorkers not to eat there. He said Chick-fil-A spreads a “message of hate” and “wouldn’t urge any other New Yorkers to patronize them.”

Now, there’s nothing wrong with a boycott. Boycotts are free speech, a way to voice disapproval without getting government involved.

Some craven politicians misunderstand that concept.

Boston’s mayor declared that Chick-fil-A was “not welcome” in his town, and some Chicago politicians said they would deny Chick-fil-A the necessary permits. After the politicians were told that they don’t have a legal right to ban businesses because of things the owners say, they backed down. They just pushed the boycott.

When politicians support boycotts without using the power of their office to boycott by force, we get to see whether the public really cares what politicians think.

Wind is essential, but don’t forget solar I applaud the Newton Daily News for running the July 18 letter to the editor regarding wind energy in Iowa. While we are currently enjoying a lull in the cost of oil and natural gas from geopolitical events and technological advances in hydraulic fracturing, Iowa energy companies are quickly learning their own inconvenient truth: When

it comes to price, you can’t beat renewables.

While our achievements in wind energy are a testament to our ingenuity, I would also remind Iowa residents that we can and should continue to make strides in the field of solar power as well, as technology regarding photovoltaic cells will only continue to develop and increase efficiency. In fact, Dubai recently set the world record for photovoltaic energy production earlier this summer, producing power

at less than 3 cents per Kilowatt hour. To put that in perspective, the Institute for Energy Research found that Iowan’s pay 7.29 cents per Kilowatt hour.

Our achievements in renewable energy must not stop at wind energy. If we truly want to lead the Midwest and enjoy the economic benefits of renewables, we must continue to fight for a cadre of renewable solutions — especially solar.

Wife foresees a rocky road with husband suffering dementia DEAR ABBY: After two failed marriages, I married a wonderful man whom I love but am not in love with.

He recently had a seizure, after which he was diagnosed with moderate dementia.

All I see is a long, dark road ahead.

We are both senior citizens with not a long time left on this Earth. My health is suffering because of this situation. I am extremely depressed, suffer from panic attacks and have lost any hope of happiness in the future.

I am torn between my responsibility to my husband and leaving to try to find some sort of joy in my life. If I stay, my mental and physical health will be ruined. If I leave, guilt will destroy me. Is there a solution? — OVERWHELMED IN HOUSTON DEAR OVERWHELMED: Yes, and the first part of the solution is to realize you are NOT a weak sister — as much as you might think you are. You took a vow to stand by the man you married, and now it’s time to honor it.

He may not be the love of your life, but he is your friend. Friends don’t cut and run when the going gets tough.

Talk to a geriatrician (M.D.) to find out what kind of care your husband needs now and will need in the future.

You should also learn as much as you can about what services for seniors exist in your community. He may eventually need an assisted living facility, but in the meantime, a home caregiver may be able to help him with personal grooming and give you some time to yourself. If he has children or other family members, they might be willing to pitch in and help.

While a diagnosis of dementia is daunting, I urge you to enjoy the time you have with him now. He’s still the person you cared for enough to marry.

He WILL be that person for quite a while. You may be a senior, but you’re still vital and may have many years ahead to enjoy life. If you fulfill your role as a supportive wife now, your chances of finding happiness when

your husband’s journey is over will be greater.

A final thought: You’re not alone.

There is support out there for you and your husband. Reach out to the Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org; 800272-3900) for information and local support and resources.

DEAR ABBY: I have been invited to a “gender reveal” party. I have never heard of such a thing. I mean, REALLY? In my day, a married woman’s first child was welcomed with a baby shower. Today, baby showers are given for three, four, five children of the same mother whether she’s married or not.

Am I out of the loop on this one? I anxiously await your reply. — NOT READY FOR THIS DEAR NOT READY: Parents don’t know what the sex of their child will be until they get the results of the first or second ultrasound. Some of them choose to have the results presented to them in an envelope and given to a third person, to be shared with family and friends during a gender reveal party that is sometimes held in place of a baby shower. The results of the ultrasound are then announced either verbally or, in some cases, by serving attendees white or yellow cupcakes with cream centers that are either pink or blue.

Yes, it’s an excuse to have a party, but why not celebrate? If the idea is a turnoff, no law says you must attend.

Police investigate fatal shooting Sunday morning

rural eastern Iowa Saturday

DES MOINES— Des Moines police are investigating a fatal shooting that took place early Sunday.

The shooting was reported around 4:30 a.m. When officers arrived in the area near 45th Street and Kingman Boulevard, they found a man’s body.

The victim was not immediately identified, and no arrests had been made as of Sunday morning.

The shooting happened about three blocks north of Roosevelt High School.

Five people hurt when carnival ride malfunctioned ATLANTIC — Authorities say five people were injured when a carnival ride malfunctioned at the Cass County Fair in Atlantic. Police Lt. David Erickson says the five were on the Octopus ride around 7:40 p.m. Sunday when the arms holding their cars slammed to the ground. A woman, three girls and a boy were taken to Cass County Memorial Hospital for treatment.

DUBUQUE — The National Weather Service has confirmed at least three tornadoes moved across eastern Iowa during Saturday’s storms.

The tornadoes developed in rural areas of the state. They damaged some farm buildings, trees and crops, but mostly avoided towns.

One tornado was reported near Lake Delhi in Delaware County around 4:20 p.m. Saturday. It generated winds up to 80 mph.

Group seeks to install security cameras around city WATERLOO — Some Waterloo residents are teaming up with city council members in an effort to get security cameras installed around the city.

The group wants to model its plan on Dubuque’s, which installed cameras last year around the downtown area.

Dubuque police have said they were able to use video from the cameras last month to catch a gang leader linked to a number of crimes, including rioting, harassment and carrying weapons.

Bicycle rider dies after collision with truck Sunday GLENWOOD — A bicyclist participating in the annual ride across Iowa was killed Sunday after colliding with a pickup truck near Glenwood.

Drone helps rescuers locate boaters MASON CITY (AP) — A new drone Kossuth County purchased with a grant this spring helped authorities rescue a man and his granddaughter after their boat became hung up on a logjam on the Upper Des Moines River earlier this month.

The remote-control aircraft helped authorities quickly locate Thomas Fitzpatrick of Algona and his granddaughter on July 13.

Sheriff ’s Deputy Josh Missman said he had recently finished training on flying the drone before the rescue. He was able to find Fitzpatrick in less than five minutes that day, which enabled rescuers to reach him before nightfall.

“We knew we only had about 40 minutes to find them before it became dark,” Missman said. “It took just threeand-a-half minutes to find them once I put the drone in the air.”

The fast work proved important because Fitzpatrick had had a heart attack and needed medical attention.

Fitzpatrick had made similar trips down the river from Plum Creek Dam many times before, but on that day his boat got caught on a logjam. He started feeling unwell as he tried to force the boat over the obstacle, and his cellphone got wet.

“I wasn’t feeling well.

I didn’t know I was having a heart attack, but I didn’t feel well, and it was heavy work,” Fitzpatrick said.

Iowa store uses honor system for payment

AP Photo In this photo, Becky Herman of Keystone, checks on crickets being raised for human consumption at her cricket farm. The crickets are eventually frozen for shipping then roasted and turned into flour for other foods. Each pound of flour is made up 3-4,000 crickets.

Iowan starts cricket farming for human consumption KEYSTONE (AP) — Like many farmers, Becky Herman bounces from enclosure to enclosure, feeding and watering her livestock.

There are thousands of them, but Herman knows some well enough to assign them human traits. Those two over there are bullies, she says.

And though she’s new at this gig, Herman has already learned not to name her stock, lest she grow too attached.

While farmers are no rarity in this eastern Iowa town of 600, Herman’s operation stands alone. Her farm, the Iowa Cricket Farmer, is the state’s first insect farm growing critters for the purposes of human consumption.

It’s believed to be among a handful of cricket farms across the country capitalizing on a trend of health-conscious foodies munching on insects.

The farm’s 50,000 to 60,000 crickets have been raised so far to be breeders. Herman expects to deliver the first batch bound for human stomachs this summer.

They’ll be sent to Salt Lake City and ground into cricket flour for Chapul, the maker of cricket protein bars and protein powder made famous on the television show “Shark Tank.”

While there is inherent novelty to the operation, the Iowa Cricket Farmer looks more like a science lab than a playground.

The crickets’ diets (all organic) are carefully controlled. The water they’re given has been purified through reverse osmosis. And the temperature and hu-

DONAHUE (AP) — The huge corn statue right out front might be the most photographed part of the Country Cupboard in Donahue. But it’s not the most talked about.

That goes to this feeling: Walking in the doors, picking out bread, pork, cheese, soap, jam or a soda, and not seeing anyone to give your money to.

“At first it, I’m sure it can be a little jarring,” Joan Maxwell, who owns the store with her husband, said.

“But when people figure it out, they love it and they want to come back.”

Eventually, of course, you figure it out: Add up your items, use the provided scratch paper or calculators if needed, and drop cash or check into the money slot. If you want, wave to the video surveillance camera on the way out.

The honors payment system might seem old-fashioned, but it has worked well since John and Joan Maxwell opened the Country Cupboard in 2007. It houses products made and raised by their family-run farm, Cinnamon Ridge Farms, which is just up the hill from the shed-like store.

“People’s buying interests have changed,” John, who started the farm in 1988, said.

“Years ago, they’d buy a whole beef or half beef and now they’re interested in buying a steak for tonight’s dinner — I heard that enough that I need to find a way to give it to them.”

midity are closely managed.

Eventually, Herman plans to turn nearly 2 million crickets every six weeks.

“We like to refer to them as miniature livestock,” she said.

Herman, a Marion High School social studies teacher, isn’t some tree-hugging granola type. It took her awhile to get used to the idea of eating bugs.

She became intrigued after watching a segment on crickets on the CNN Student News show she watches regularly with the kids in her class.

Insect farming is considered more sustainable than traditional livestock.

Because they’re coldblooded, crickets are efficient at converting food into protein.

They require 12 times less feed than cattle, four times less feed than sheep, and half as much feed as pigs and broiler chickens to produce the same amount of protein, according to a 2013 United Nations report examining insects’ potential as human food.

“Insects are reported to emit fewer greenhouse gases and less ammonia than cattle or pigs, and they require significantly less land and water than cattle rearing,” the study states.

In fact, crickets require 8 percent of the water it takes for cows to produce a similar amount of protein, according to Chapul. And the critters emit 1 percent of the greenhouse gases of cows.

“That’s really why we got into it,” Herman said. “It’s so much more environmentally friendly than traditional forms of livestock.”

to pay an attendant to stay down there, so he decided early-on to install a money slot and a video surveillance system, and “just plain ol’ trust people.”

The door is unlocked 24 hours per day, seven days a week.

“A lot of people are taken aback that there’s some place in the world that is honest,” he said.

“It works, and the only reason it does is because people want it to work.”

The system isn’t crime-proof, but the Maxwells have only had two incidents over the years. One person only put $1 in the money slot for $30 worth of goods, and another person made the motions of paying, but didn’t drop any cash in the slot.

After Joan watched the video, she printed out photos of the thieves and taped them to the front door with this caption: “Do you like our new surveillance system? Doesn’t it take nice pictures?”

Gunfire at teen nightclub leaves 2 dead, 17 wounded FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Gunfire erupted at a nightclub hosting a swimsuit-themed party for teens in Florida, leaving two dead and at least 17 wounded, officials said Monday.

It was not immediately clear what triggered the violence. Fort Myers police detained three people and said the area around Club Blu had been deemed safe, police Capt.

Jim Mulligan said in a statement.

“While we are still learning the details about

what happened this morning, we know that some of the victims of this terrible incident were children,” Gov. Rick Scott said in a statement. “We will continue to pray for the victims and their families.”

Three people remained hospitalized Monday morning, Cheryl Garn, a spokeswoman for Lee Memorial Health System, said in an email. All others were treated and released.

Two people brought to two other area hospitals were also treated and re-

leased, Garn said.

Ages of the patients ranged from 12 to 27, Garn said.

The club is in a strip mall that includes a daycare center and is across the street from a large apartment complex. Officers had the area taped off as crime scene technicians scoured the strip mall parking lot for clues.

State records online show the alcohol license for Club Blu was revoked on June 7. The records from the Department of Business and Professional

Regulation say the license was revoked because of an incident that occurred a year ago, but there are no additional details available. The same records also show that a complaint was filed in 2014 for “criminal activity” and that the club was given an official notice.

The violence at Club Blu erupted about 12:30 a.m. Monday, Mulligan said. There were two active crime scenes, police said. Several hours later a street in the area remained closed as police investigat-

DNC steps off in Philadelphia with huge protests, high temps PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Democratic National Convention gets underway Monday in Philadelphia with much bigger demonstrations than the Republican convention and much higher temperatures as the region copes with an oppressive heat wave.

In one of the largest rallies planned for the day, a pro-Bernie Sanders group is expected to walk across the Ben Franklin Bridge, which connects Camden, New Jersey, with Philadelphia.

The demonstrations, largely driven by Sanders supporters, have been peaceful so far.

On Sunday, throngs of people marched along a main thoroughfare of the city to show their support for Sanders and their disdain for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

They chanted “Hell no, DNC, we won’t vote for Hillary” and “This is what democracy looks like.”

Although planned for months, the marches came as fractures appeared in the party that had been trying to display a show of unity in recent weeks. Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned Sunday as Demo-

cratic Party chairwoman over emails suggesting the DNC had played favorites for Clinton during the primary.

The Democrats had been trying to avoid the divide that was apparent in Cleveland during the Republican National Convention last week. But the hacked emails, published by WikiLeaks, further fired up Sanders supporters, who long accused the party of favoring Clinton despite officially being neutral.

Sanders had called for Wasserman Schul-

tz’s resignation and said Sunday that she made the right decision for the party’s future by resigning.

Darcy Samek, 54, traveled alone from Minneapolis to protest through the four-day convention. She said Wasserman Schultz has been a “miserable failure” who needed to be gone.

“Everyone kind of knew (the Democratic Party was against Bernie Sanders), but that doesn’t mean it will change now that it’s proven. It’s just more of the same,” she said.

Philadelphia police called Sunday’s protests peaceful and said they were pleased with how things were going.

Earlier in the day, thousands of clean-energy activists jammed a downtown street in their milelong march from City Hall to Independence Hall, near the Liberty Bell. They held anti-fracking and anti-pipeline signs, some with illustrations showing a train surrounded by a fireball and the words “No Exploding Trains.”

Others held “Bernie or Bust” signs.

MUNICH (AP) — The teenager behind the deadly shooting rampage in Munich was a withdrawn loner obsessed with playing “killer” video games in his bedroom, a victim of bullying who suffered from panic attacks set off by contacts with other people, investigators said Sunday, adding that he had planned the attack for a year.

Law enforcement officials piecing together a portrait of the 18-year-old shooter said he was seeing a doctor up to last month for treatment of depression and psychiatric problems that began in 2015 with inpatient hospital care followed by outpatient visits.

They said medication for his problems had been found his room. But toxicological and autopsy results were still not available, so it’s not yet clear whether he was taking the medicine when he went on his shooting rampage Friday, killing nine people and leaving dozens wounded.

The 18-year-old German-Iranian, identified only as David S. due to Germany privacy laws, had earlier been described by investigators as being bullied by schoolmates at least once four years ago and being fascinated by previous mass shootings. But none of those killed were known to him, investigators said.

Late Sunday police said they had taken in for questioning a friend of the shooter who might have known of the attack plan. Further details were not immediately available, but Germany’s dpa news agency reported the 16-year-old boy had gone to police himself after the act.

Some 1,500 people gathered at the scene of the shooting Sunday evening, lighting candles and placing flowers in tribute to the victims. In France, where scores have been killed in six extremist attacks since the beginning of 2015, the Eiffel Tower was lit in the German national colors of red, black and gold.

The attack Friday took place on the fifth anniversary of the killing of 77 people by Norwegian right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik, whose victims included dozens of young people. Investigators said the Munich shooter had researched that slaughter online and had visited the site of a previous school shooting in the German town of Winnenden last year.

“He had been planning this crime since last summer,” said Robert Heimberger, Bavaria’s top official, citing a “manifesto” linked to the shooting found in the gunman’s locked room in the apartment he shared with his parents and brother.

“Her dodging bullets and running, dropping in between cars, it’s ridiculous that these kids have to go through this,” Gary said. “They can’t enjoy themselves because you have other people that have criminalistic minds and they just want to terrorize things.”

A post on Club Blu’s Facebook page Monday morning said the shooting happened as the club was closing and parents were picking up their children.

Five Cardinals receive LHC softball honors

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Ending their softball careers together on the 2016 All-Little Hawkeye Conference first team softball squad are Newton High seniors Sydney Jenkins and Kari Adams.

Three younger Cardinal softball players earned recognition from conference coaches for the 2016 season.

The Little Hawkeye Conference coaches recently made the all-conference selections, which had to be held until conference champion Oskaloosa finished playing in the Class 4A state softball tournament last week. The Indians claimed the 2016 4A state championship.

Jenkins earned All-LHC first-team honors for the fourth straight year — the first two years as catcher for the Cardinals and the last two as shortstop. Adams received conference honors for the third time, but first as a firstteam selection as an outfielder. Adams garnered honorable mention honors as a freshman and sophomore.

Freshman pitcher Anna Coyle received All-LHC second-team honors as a pitcher.

Sophomore Karley Leiker and freshman Emily Valtman were named on the LHC 2016 honorable mention list. It is the second year for Leiker as Newton’s left fielder. Valtman, who played right field, earned conference recognition for the first time.

There was only one unanimous selection to the 2016 all-conference first team. Madison Carpenter, Dallas Center-Grimes senior, was unanimously chosen as an outfielder.

Others named to the first team were Oskaloosa’s junior pitcher Alexis Groet, junior catcher Alexis Westercamp, senior infielder Kylee Silliman and junior utility/designated hitter Aubrey Miller, Pella Christian’s junior pitcher Emma Schnell, Norwalk’s sophomore infielder Alyx Witt and senior utility/DH Taylor Goode, Pella’s junior outfielder Sara Tallman and senior utility/DH Alexa Dingeman, Grinnell freshman infielder Megan Doty and Dallas Center-Grimes junior utility/DH Allie Boender.

Oskaloosa won the 2016 LHC title with a 10-2 mark in conference games. DCG finishes second at 8-4 while Newton and Norwalk tied for third at 7-5. Pella Christian went 6-6 in conference at ion followed by Pella at 3-9 and Grinnell was 1-11.

Trio represents Jasper County at annual Iowa Shrine Bowl

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News CEDAR FALLS — Two area athletes and an area football coach participated in the 44th annual Iowa Shrine Bowl All-Star Football Classic at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls on Saturday.

But after the game, all the two players — Colfax-Mingo’s Jacob Lietz and Lynnville-Sully’s Sage Ehresman — and the coach — L-S football coach Mike Parkinson — wanted to talk about was how the experience was once in a lifetime.

“This is a phenomenal

experience,” Parkinson said. “You hate to lose the game. The game is important, but it’s not about just one game. It’s about the week, the bond, the Shriner kids. We got to see those kids yesterday, and it’s an eye- opening experience.”

Parkinson was an assistant coach on the South squad, while Lietz played tight end and Ehresman was a running back for the team. The South did lose the game for the first time since 2010, but none of them were talking about the loss afterwards.

Ken Griffey Jr., Mike Piazza inducted into Hall of Fame

NASCAR photo Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 Skittles Toyota, celebrates winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Crown Royal Presents the Combat Wounded Coalition 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday in Indianapolis, Ind.

Busch sweeps weekend with Brickyard 400 win INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Kyle Busch won the Brickyard 400 on Sunday to make it clean sweep at Indianapolis.

He led a race-record 149 of the 170 laps and beat Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Matt Kenseth to the finish line by 2.126 seconds. Jimmie Johnson was third, 2.638 seconds behind the defending Sprint Cup champ — thanks to the double overtime forced by three late crashes.

“I guess, I didn’t expect it,” Busch said when asked about his dominance. “I guess, I hoped it would be this way.

But this Toyota was awesome today. It was so fast, and we stayed out front.”

Busch became the first NASCAR driver to sweep the Xfinity Series and Cup poles and races on the same weekend.

Busch also joined Johnson as the only Cup drivers with back-to-back wins on Indy’ 2.5-mile oval. Johnson won in 2008 and 2009.

Tony Stewart was 11th in his final Brickyard race after being assessed a late penalty for speeding on pit road.

Five-time race winner Jeff Gordon finished 13th after coming out of retirement

Hawkeye forward Jones gets 6th year of eligibility IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa power forward Dale Jones has been granted an extra year of eligibility.

Jones tore a ligament in his right knee for the second time in three years in December after playing just six games. He was averaging 5.5 points and three rebounds for the Hawkeyes.

Jones, a junior college transfer, is expected to give Iowa’s thin frontcourt a major boost over the next two seasons.

The 6-foot-7, 227-pound Jones likely will get plenty of playing time after the Hawkeyes lost center Adam Woodbury and forward Jarrod Uthoff to graduation.

Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffery announced the NCAA’s decision Thursday.

to replace Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt is fighting concussion-like symptoms.

“It was better than last year,” Gordon joked. “It was a fight. Wow! And I got kicked on the restarts.”

Before teams arrived in Indy Thursday night, all the talk was about Stewart’s farewell and Gordon’s comeback.

Even during the drivers’ meeting, Gordon and Stewart were front and center. Gordon delivered a moving speech in which he thanked Stewart for the impact he has made on the sport and ended with a standing ovation for the three-time Cup champ and two-time Brickyard winner. Afterward, the two drivers drove around the track together, likely for the final time on their home track.

But Busch’s domination overshadowed everything and everyone.

He surrendered the lead for 14 laps after his first pit stop, regained it when race leader Brad Keselowski pitted then gave it up again for only five laps when he made his second pit stop. Everyone else spent the day chasing Busch.

The No. 18 car was so good that Roger Penske’s drivers

started the day on a different strategy. The goal was to stretch out their runs long enough that they would have to make one fewer pit stop.

It didn’t work. Logano finished seventh and Keselowski wound up 17th.

The only real challenge for Busch came with the series of late crashes that delayed his fourth trip to victory lane.

It started with Carl Edwards’ car wiggling in the first turn on a restart with seven laps to go.

His car slid up the track, hitting Keselowski and catching Ryan Blaney, Ryan Newman and Danica Patrick.

Though nobody appeared to be seriously hurt, the wreck brought out a red flag for almost eight minutes.

On the ensuing restart, with three to go, Busch pulled away one more time only to have a collision between Trevor Bayne and Clint Bowyer behind him extend the race again.

It happened yet again when Jamie McMurray slid through the first turn and into the wall on the next restart, but Busch again pulled away to win the race that went 25 miles longer than scheduled.

Former NFL coach, Hawkeye Dennis Green dies at 67 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Dennis Green, the trailblazing coach who led a Minnesota Vikings renaissance in the 1990s before a less successful run with the Arizona Cardinals, has died. He was 67.

Green was the first black head coach in Big Ten history when he took over at Northwestern in 1981 and was just the third black head coach in the NFL when the Vikings hired him in 1992. Through it all, Green worked hard to provide opportunities for minorities on his coaching staffs and was beloved by his players for the loyalty he showed them.

Green spent 10 seasons in Minnesota, leading the Vikings to eight playoff appearances and two NFC championship games. He had only one losing season and compiled an overall record of 97-62, a mark second only to Bud Grant in franchise history. That included a 15-1 regular season in 1998.

Green went out on a limb in the draft before that season, taking Randy Moss at No. 21 after the super-talented receiver fell due to character concerns.

Moss was a sensation from the start, teaming with Cris Car-

ter, Jake Reed, Randall Cunningham and Robert Smith to give the Vikings the most dynamic and explosive offense the league had ever seen. The Vikings scored a record 556 points that season, a mark that stood until New England broke it in 2007.

But the Vikings were upset at home by the Atlanta Falcons that season and also were embarrassed by the New York Giants 41-0 in their other trip to the NFC title game after the 2000 season.

Green went 4-8 in the postseason, one of the reasons he was fired by Minnesota late in the 2001 season.

Born Feb. 17, 1949, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Green once said he was struck by watching early Big Ten football games and seeing both Minnesota and Iowa putting together successful seasons behind black quarterbacks.

Green enrolled at Iowa, too, and played running back for the Hawkeyes from 1968-70.

Green also was a head coach at Stanford and served as an assistant to Bill Walsh on the dominant 49ers teams of the 1980s.

​COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Two players who began their careers at opposite ends of the spectrum nearly three decades ago ended up in the same place Sunday — with their names etched on plaques at the Baseball Hall of Fame.

For Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza, the culmination of their long journeys was tinged with tears all around.

“I stand up here humbled and overwhelmed,” Griffey said, staring out at his family and tens of thousands of fans.

“I can’t describe how it feels.”

The two became a piece of history on their special day.

Griffey, the first pick of the 1987 amateur draft, became the highest pick ever inducted. Piazza, a 62nd-round pick the next year — No. 1,390 — is the lowest pick to enter the Hall of Fame.

Griffey played 22 bigleague seasons with the Mariners, Reds and White Sox and was selected on a record 99.32 percent of ballots cast, an affirmation of sorts for his clean performance during baseball’s Steroids Era. A 13-time All-Star and 10-time Gold Glove Award winner in center field, Griffey hit 630 home runs, sixth all-time, and drove in 1,836 runs. He also was the American League MVP in 1997, drove in at least 100 runs in eight seasons, and won seven Silver Slugger Awards.

Griffey, who fell just three votes shy of being the first unanimous selection, hit 417 of his 630 homers and won all 10 of his Gold Gloves with the Seattle Mariners. He played the first 11 seasons of his career with the Mariners and led them to the playoffs for the first two times in franchise history.

Dubbed “The Natural” for his effortless excellence at the plate and in center field, Griffey avoided the Hall of Fame until his special weekend because he wanted his first walk through the front doors of the stately building on Main Street to be with his kids, whom he singled out

one by one in his 20-minute speech.

Selected in the draft by the Dodgers after Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda, a close friend of Piazza’s father, Vince, put in a good word, Piazza struggled.

He briefly quit the game while in the minor leagues, returned and persevered despite a heavy workload as he switched from first base to catcher and teammates criticized his erratic play.

Mom and dad were foremost on his mind, too.

“Dad always dreamed of playing in the major leagues,” said Piazza, just the second Hall of Famer depicted on his plaque wearing a Mets cap, after Tom Seaver in 1992.

“He could not follow that dream because of the realities of life. My father’s faith in me, often greater than my own, is the single most important factor of me being inducted into this Hall of Fame. Thank you dad. We made it, dad.

The race is over. Now it’s time to smell the roses.”

Piazza played 16 years with the Dodgers, Marlins, Mets, Padres and Athletics and hit 427 home runs, including a major league record 396 as a catcher.

A 12-time All-Star, Piazza won 10 Silver Slugger Awards and finished in the top five of his league’s MVP voting four times.

Perhaps even more impressive, Piazza, a .308 career hitter, posted six seasons with at least 30 home runs, 100 RBIs and a .300 batting average.

Attendance was estimated at around 50,000 by the Hall of Fame, tying 1999 for second-most all time.

Car crash kills Nebraska punter, former MSU punter WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — Nebraska punter Sam Foltz and former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler died in a car crash in Wisconsin after working at a kicking clinic, a sheriff ’s department official said Sunday. LSU kicker Colby Delahoussaye was injured in the crash.

Waukesha County Sheriff ’s Lt. Thom Moerman said speed was likely a factor in the single-vehicle crash that happened around 11:45 p.m.

Saturday.

The 24-year-old Sadler, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was driving. He and 22-year-old Foltz, of Greeley, Nebraska, both died at the scene. Delahoussaye, 21 of New Iberia, Louisiana, also was a passenger. He was treated at Waukesha Memorial Hospital and released. A statement from LSU said his injuries were minor and that he was scheduled to return home Monday.

Moerman said in a statement that Sadler lost control on the wet pavement, left the roadway and struck a tree.

The University of Nebraska said Sunday the team will skip this week’s planned Big Ten media days in Chicago because of Foltz’s death. Officials with Michigan State didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Foltz was a three-year starter for the Nebraska team

and last year he was named the Big Ten’s punter of the year. Foltz graduated from Nebraska with a degree in agronomy in May. He led the Big Ten in punting last year at 44.2 yards per kick and ranked fifth in school history (42.6).

Nebraska Coach Mike Riley said Foltz was respected on the team and had a positive influence on everyone he interacted with.

“The young men in our football program are hurting but I know that their strength of character and resolve will bring us together and we will honor Sam every day moving forward,” Riley said.

Several hundred friends and teammates of Foltz gathered outside Memorial Stadium in Lincoln Sunday afternoon to remember him.

Several players talked about how hard Foltz worked and his faith in God. Sadler was a four-year starter and four-time academic All-American at Michigan State. He finished his college playing career after the 2014 season. Dan Tracy with Kohl’s Kicking said both Sadler and Foltz had been working at a weekend clinic at the camp in Wisconsin. Tracy said the camp ended early Sunday after an announcement about the deaths.

Shrine: North ends South’s winning streak, rallies back from two-score deficit Continued from Page 1B “It always sucks to lose, but it’s not that big of a deal,” said Lietz, who was Colfax-Mingo’s first participant in the history of the annual event. “It was a pretty awesome experience. They brought up the kids (Friday), and to see the smile on their faces was awesome. They enjoyed catching touchdowns and stuff like that.”

Every summer the Iowa Shriners put on the Iowa Shrine Bowl. It’s an all-star football game featuring some of the best graduated senior football players in the state. The event lasts all week though.

Parkinson and the rest of the coaches involved in the week arrived in Cedar Falls on July 16. The players got to town on July 17 and that’s when practices begin.

There was a pizza party on July 18 and a movie night on July 19, the same night that the cheerleaders for the game arrived. Prairie City-Monroe cheerleader Kayla Schakel was one of those cheerleaders.

On July 20, the participants had fun at Lost Island Water Park in Waterloo.

They enjoyed a hog roast on July 21 and then hosted a mini-camp with all the kids from the Shriner’s Hospital in Minnesota.

There also was a banquet on July 22, and the week culminated with a parade and 60-minute football game on Saturday.

“It was amazing. This whole week has been packed with fun,” Ehresman said. “We have only been together a week, but it feels like we have been together for years. That’s how much we bonded as a group.

“The whole experience has been amazing. Despite the score, this is a week I’ll never forget.”

The score was 49-35 in favor of the North squad. The win by the North ended a five-game winning streak by the South. The 49 points by the North was the most points scored by one team in Iowa Shrine Bowl history and the total points of 84 were the most combined points score in the history of the event, which began with a 17-all tie back in 1973.

“I hope that everyone involved got a rewarding experience and remembers as we move forward that football isn’t about X’s and O’s, it’s not about a score on the board, it’s about each other,” Parkinson said. “It’s about people.

That’s what makes it so much fun.”

Parkinson was Ehresman’s coach the past four years. He got to spend one last week with his now former player and the two got to be a part of one last football game together.

That experience included an Ehresman 9-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter that brought the South within 42-35.

“I didn’t get to see him a lot. I got to bond with 10 guys that I have never met before, but having Sage a part of this game, watching him play and perform at the next level, I am really excited for him,” said Parkinson, who worked with the offensive linemen all week. “He’s a great kid who has put a lot of time and effort in, and he deserves to be here. I am awfully proud of the young man.”

Ehresman likely would have enjoyed the experience by himself, but having his high school coach there with him during a memorable week was extra special.

“It was nice to spend the week with him around,” Ehresman said. “Coach P is an amazing coach and an amazing person. It’s been great having him to

share this experience with. That made it better.”

Lietz played tight end/split end in the first and third quarters and Pella’s Noah Clayberg as his quarterback. Ehresman was the South team’s primary tailback in the second and fourth quarters. Each player is supposed to play either offense or defense for two quarters in the game.

With Clayberg taking snaps, the South scored 21 straight points to end the first quarter and led 21-7 after 15 minutes. Clayberg, a future Iowa Hawkeye and former Pella Dutch all-starter, connected with future Northern Iowa Panther and former Cedar Rapids Prairie standout Jalen Rima for a 72-yard touchdown to get the South on the board.

Clayberg made it 14-7 when he scored on a 27-yard run, and then pushed the lead to 21-7 when found future Iowa State Cyclone Theo Harris on an 8-yard touchdown pass. Harris prepped at Clinton.

Clayberg added a 9-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that tied the game at 28-all, but the North scored 21 of the next 28 points to win by 14.

Clayberg won Offensive MVP honors for the South, while former Ankeny standout Brandt Butler was the Defensive MVP. Future Northern Iowa Panther and former Cedar Rapids Washington standout Isaiah Nimmers scored three times and earned offensive MVP honors for the North, while future Iowa State Cyclone Carson Lensing of South Winneshiek was the defensive MVP after picking off Waukee’s Ben Ferkin in the second quarter when the North led 28-21.

Both Lietz and Ehresman were most impressed with Clayberg, who will be a grayshirt for the Hawkeyes next season. He is expected to play safety at Iowa.

“I have never seen anyone who can run the ball like him,” Lietz said of Clayberg. “He has incredible vision and the things he can do in the open field are amazing.”

Since 2012, eight area athletes and two coaches have been selected to play in the Shrine Bowl. Parkinson’s first representative was Kyle Terlouw in 2012. PCM’s Hutch Burns and Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Andrew Broderick also played in that game.

PCM’s Ethan Kain participated in 2013, while his coach Greg Bonnett also was on the sidelines. CMB’s Zach Samson played in the game in 2014.

CMB’s Bryce Kemp was selected in 2015 but turned down the offer at the request of his future collegiate team, Eastern Michigan.

“I know some of the players at Colfax-Mingo who were really good that were passed up, and to know that I was the first one is humbling,” Lietz said.

“All the hard work I put in was for something.”

Lietz had one catch in the game for three yards. He didn’t get many targets at tight end but was involved in setting the edge on several outside runs.

Ehresman carried the ball seven times in the game for 28 yards and a touchdown. He also caught two passes.

The South leads the all-time series 23-21-1.

Over the past 43 years, the Iowa Shrine Bowl has helped raise nearly $2.3 million for the Shriner’s Hospital for Children.
