Carly Fiorina answers questions about president’s policies

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News

Alex Olp/Daily News Police arrest Gray resident Rodney Hackwell Sr., 55, for reckless use of fire after a fire burned down two vacant buildings. He was also under investigation for public intoxication.

Man arrested after structure fire Friday

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News No injuries resulted from a structure fire at 7453 Lincoln St. Friday, but two vacant buildings near Iowa Speedway burned down and one individual was arrested.

After the fire was extinguished, police arrested Rodney Hackwell Sr., a 55-year-old from Gray, for reckless use of fire; he is also being investigated for public intoxication.

According to Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty, Hackwell Sr. was burning items on the property throughout the day and initially lied to an officer about having permission from the Newton Fire Department to burn on the property.

At approximately 5:30 p.m., Newton Fire responded to the 911 call after neighbors heard an explosion. The suspect did not own either of the vacant properties that burned

School board to vote on bus-camera bids Newer system could provide audio from interior of bus

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Most school bus drivers, at some point, have overheard or been a part of discussion about what was said on a bus.

If the Newton Community School District gets the type of bid Superintendent Bob Callaghan is looking for, and the board of education approves its purchase, Newton students will soon have both their actions and audio recorded by cameras.

At its July 13 meeting, the board agreed to have 6:45 p.m. as the point in Monday’s regular board meeting when a hearing will be held. The hearing and the meeting are to select from expected bids on a new camera system for its buses that will cover several exterior angles, and will pick up both audio and video

on the interior of all 33 marked school buses.

Monday night’s meeting, to be held in the Emerson Hough building conference room, is set to begin at 6:30 p.m.

The lone bidder was School Bus Sales Co. of Waterloo, which proposed installing a camera system from REI, Inc., of Omaha. The base bid is $73,426.85 for a contract that would run through Dec. 31, 2016, with an additional $1,773.75 per bus for an external camera that would capture license plates of vehicles committing stop-arm violations.

Newton buses have had video-only cameras for the past few years that comply with a state law. However, Callaghan said, audio, which would go above and beyond state requirements, could reduce the number of times he and principals and other administrators are attempting to read lips or guess about noises or words spoken on a bus.

down.

Fire departments from Kellogg and Reasnor also responded to the call.

The fire resulted in a downed power line as well, which closed Lincoln Street and caused backups on Interstate 80.

Halferty said it appears the fire was started by gas, but it is still under investigation.

During a meet and greet session at Bridgehouse Coffee in Newton on Saturday, Republican candidate Carly Fiorina didn’t hold back about her views on President Barack Obama’s policies regarding immigration and health care.

Fiorina began speaking at 8:45 a.m. and jumped into a Q&A session. The first question was regarding Obamacare, which she said has resulted in a very complicated set of laws and regulations.

Fiorina then offered three solutions to fix the health care system — repeal Obamacare, give power back to states and

Downtown design ideas to be showcased Tuesday

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

“This is something to describe and show visually what they heard at the public input meeting in June,” Director of Planning and Zoning Erin Chambers said. “These plans are not by any means final designs.

They are meant to be a first round concept design for public review and comment.”

A presentation is planned for 6 p.m. followed by an open house in the hallway of city hall.

There, community members will have an opportunity to leave messages on comment boards

and participate in live polling to give feedback on the initial design. All ages are welcome to attend and feedback and ideas are wanted.

Chambers said feedback from the first open house showed strong desire for a public gathering space downtown.

“If you grab a sandwich at a local restaurant and you want to eat outside, a space to do that was desired,” Chambers said.

Contributors at the last meeting also wanted to see a uniform look for downtown buildings, she said.

“A lot of comments that altogether will improve the walk-ability of the downtown, the look and feel of the downtown and the use-ability of the downtown,” Chambers said.

“Also, making an area of the downtown ideal for closing down the street and having a ‘festival feel’ on those occasions ... so it doesn’t just feel like a street with barricades.”

Downtown is roughly described as the area from East Fourth Street to West Fourth Street and the eight block around the square, Chambers said.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Design plans for the downtown Newton area will be on display at an open house from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at city hall.

An open house to view and discuss preliminary designs for downtown Newton is planned from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at city hall.

When you buy house insurance, you have a lot of choices and they have to compete for your business,” Fiorina said. “We need to break the relationship between insurance companies and regulators.”

Fiorina was also asked to give her take on Obama’s immigration plan, which she said “was awful.”

Hy-Vee provides nostalgic Tuesday mornings Gas pumping tradition lives on

Iowa’s unemployment rate drops to 3.7 percent DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 3.7 percent in June from 3.8 percent in May. The state’s jobless rate was 4.4 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 5.3 percent in June.

“For the fourth time this year, the unemployment rate is down,” Iowa Workforce Development Director Beth Townsend said. “As the low unemployment trend continues, encouraging gains are being seen in the retail sector; the business establishment survey added 3,000 retail jobs this month.”

The number of unemployed Iowans decreased to 63,700 in June from 64,800 in May. The current estimate is 10,500 lower than the year ago level of 74,200.

The total number of working Iowans decreased to 1,640,800 in June. This figure was 4,900 lower than May, and 11,300 higher than one year ago.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Every Tuesday at least two Hy-Vee employees will be on hand from 8 a.m. to noon to help pump gas for customer at Newton’s Hy-Vee Gas.

he said. “They’re patient with customers and answer questions, and they are very knowledgeable about what they do.”

Jones said customers are usually very surprised there is someone to pump their gas, and others call it a nostalgic reminder of years past.

“But people are very open to it, and it’s almost an expectation now,” Jones said. “It really goes along with our goal at Hy-Vee in that we’re always willing to go the extra mile for our customers.”

Jones said the men will also wash windows and windshields for customers, if asked. Jones’ dad, Keith Jones, has also been pumping gas for the station since he was asked to join when the

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — An Independent Expert Peer Review Panel praised the work and diligence of the engineers, contractors, and Missouri River Energy Services following an onsite review of the Red Rock Hydroelectric Project site June 20 through July 1. This was the IEPR’s second onsite review since construction of the project began. The first was in January.

The IEPR was at the site to conduct a Safety Assurance Review, a requirement of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Civil Works Review Policy. The SAR is conducted to ensure that good science, sound engineering and public health, safety, and welfare are the most important factors guiding the engineering design and implementation of the project.

The Panel said it was pleased to see the site staff ’s continuing attention to detail relative to the potential impact of non‐uniform, soil or bedrock conditions that could impact design assumptions.

MRES, an organization of 61 member municipalities in the states of Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, is building the Red Rock Hydroelectric Project at the Red Rock Dam on the Des Moines River near Pella. Each MRES member owns and operates a local electric distribution utility and purchases wholesale electricity and energy services from MRES. The project will provide enough hydroelectricity to power about 18,000 homes. MRES has hired MWH Global as the project engineer and Ames Construction as general contractor.

During its January review, IEPR focused much of its attention on the soil‐structure interaction and the details of the ground support systems required to maintain continued support and stability of the existing Red Rock Dam embankment, saying that this “must take precedence over all other considerations, especially during the upstream construction activity.”

store opened.

“I really enjoy the people that come here to get gas,” he said.

“We’ve pretty much been out here every Tuesday … haven’t had one cold day keep us away.”

Jones said the program will continue into the future, and if there is a larger group of customers, could perhaps become available on other week days.

“I think that as any Hy-Vee employee will tell you, customer service is our No. 1 priority,” Jones said. “And this is just another way to reach our customers and let them know that we are here to help.”

By Savannah Eadens Newton Daily News Pulling into Newton’s Hy-Vee Gas on a Tuesday morning may bring back memories of yesteryear.

The Newton Hy-Vee prides itself in having great customer service, said Joel Jones, Hy-Vee manager of perishables, and the fuel station’s free Tuesday morning gas pumping is just another way they can help their customers, he said.

Every Tuesday between 8 a.m. and noon, at least two Hy-Vee employees bring back a forgotten tradition by offering to pump gas for customers. The program has been in place since the store opened, about six or seven years ago, according to Ed Rasmussen, one of the men employed by HyVee who pumps gas every Tuesday.

“We pretty much pump for anyone,” Rasmussen said. “A lot of ladies come in, and people really seem to like the service.”

Jones was manager at the time the program first started.

“We saw other stores do it, and started it almost as soon as the store opened,” he said. “It has really worked out well for people in the community.”

Jones said the fuel pumping is helpful for people who are newer drivers, elderly, parents who do not want to leave their children in the car and handicapped people.

“We are also a fuel call station, so people can use that certain pump and ring for someone to help them pump their gas anytime of the week,” Jones said.

“The Tuesday fuel pumping is just another exciting thing that we offer up at the fuel station.”

Jones said that the men who are usually at the station every Tuesday to pump gas — Keith Jones, Rasmussen and Chris Bailey — are “the type of people we want to represent Hy-Vee.” “They have good customer service skills and very outgoing,”

all of the executive orders he has rolled out there,” she said. “When is enough enough? The reason I am running for president is because I have had enough of a professional political class that talks a good game and gives a lot of speeches and doesn’t get anything done.

“One thing we’re going to have to talk about, and I will talk about it, is how the Democratic Party uses Hispanics just like they are using African Americans,” Fiorina said. “They’re not helping them, they are using them.”

Fiorina is the only female Republican running for president, and she joked with the visitors at Bridgehouse Coffee about the country wanting to see a presidential debate between her and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Cameras Continued from Page 1A “We can see them, but we can’t hear them,” Callaghan said at the July 13 meeting.

The superintendent said the system should have a feature that allows drivers to hit a button if they see or hear an incident that should be marked. That button starts a cycle that downloads a chunk of video as soon as the bus enters the wireless Internet range of the district’s bus barn, allowing the images to be transferred for storage and review.

“Principals will then be able to watch and hear online footage of what goes on, on a bus,” Callaghan said. He added that cameras will help monitor the exact driving

movements and timing of the bus and all the vehicles around it.

Board member Donna Cook asked, “At one point do we consider a second person on the bus? The cameras are good, but when I think about what they’re asked to do, managing the behaviors on a bus can be a challenge.”

Callaghan said the purpose of cameras is to help put information in the hands of school personnel who handle behavioral and disciplinary issues on a daily basis, such as principals.

The superintendent and several board members pointed out the student population in Newton generally is very respectful on buses, but incidents the district should record do happen from time to time.

Fiorina also responded to a question regarding whether a Republican will ever serve office again.

“It’s not just a fight against ‘Rs’ versus ‘Ds’ or Hillary versus Carly. I truly believe the fight we’re going to have in order to lead this nation in the right direction again is a fight between our principles. No one of us are any better than any of us,” she said.

“Everyone of us has an opportunity.”

Newton was the candidate’s first stop of the day, and the meet and greet lasted about an hour. On Monday, Fiorina will deliver a foreign policy speech focusing on national security in California. The Jasper County Republicans will be holding a regular meeting at 6 p.m. Monday at the Fore Seasons Golf Course in Newton.

have just as much confidence in our classroom and facility personnel. If a child is having problems both in the classroom and on a bus, they should be able to dovetail those two things together, and let the child know that’s not what we expect.”

The exact cost of the cameras won’t be known until bids are opened.

Board member Nat Clark asked if, at slightly more cost, the district could put one domelight camera in each of the Suburbans and other small vehicles used to transport students. Callaghan said that wasn’t the recommendation of anyone involved but that extra cost certainly could be discussed.

Blue jeans and monarch dreams

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | July 27, 2015

Last week, the Jasper County Fair allowed us to connect with local youth in a unique way. Both personally and professionally, I was very impressed with these kids.

When we took our family to, you guessed it, Family Day, we had a great time interacting with the kids and learning about their various entries.

I was amazed at the willingness of these youth to approach us and fill us in on the process of caring for and showing animals at the county fair. These kids did such a great job my son would later return home and ask if he could get a rabbit, you know, to show at the fair next year, he said. We’ll have to think about that one buddy.

Over the course of the Blue Jeans and County Fair Dreamsthemed event it was also obvious from our coverage at the newspaper that these kids were eager to share their stories. They worked with our reporters to provide details about their experiences for news articles,

posed for photos and didn’t even mind being recorded on video.

I’d just like to give a pat on the back to these Jasper County youth who are involved in the fair and a big kudos to their parents who support their endeavors. As a first time fair-goer, I was impressed.

Organizers of the fair also deserve a tip of the hat.

Likewise, the Jasper County Fair parade was also fun as a first-timer. My son and I sat next to a Newton woman who said she’d been attending the parade ever since she was a young 4-Her who participated in the parade. I don’t know if every community in Iowa has this kind of loyalty, but it always impresses me to hear stories like this.

Monarch enthusiasts Last September, I took my family to the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge for a monarch butterfly tagging event. I had hyped up the event to our kids —

we’d not only be catching butterflies, but tagging them in an effort to understand their migration patterns.

Unfortunately, we came up nearly empty handed, with nearly 100 volunteers catching just nine monarchs. Instead of writing what I thought would be a fun feature on butterflies I wrote something headlined, “Missing Monarchs,” about the decline of the population and an effort to grant it an endangered species.

Our family bought milkweed seed and decided to pursue our own efforts to help the monarchs at home. We soaked the seeds in moist paper towels and refrigerated them for several weeks before potting them indoors.

My parents heard of our efforts and sent along seeds for a butterfly bush and became big encouragers of this project. Then they sent some live plants that sat in a box marked “open immediately,” which sadly I did not.

Truth be told, I just recently got around to planting the milkweed plants outside. I made my husband dig a hole and prepared my plants for transplant. He grabbed them and plopped them in the hole upside down. (I may have flipped out a little bit while witnessing this.)

In the end, they are upright and becoming more mature in full sunlight.

While I didn’t make good use of the live plants my parents sent, I do have a couple packs of Mexican Sunflowers I am planning to make use of next year. Meanwhile, we are enjoying some monarch activity at our house.

The local momentum for monarchs is building and one fun way to follow it is on the Jasper County Monarch Enthusiasts page on Facebook. It’s fun to see local people excited about nature and preservation.

The war on Uber

Letters to the Editor

Sinclair should support special session Sen. Tom Courtney Burlington At the end of this year’s legislative session, Gov. Branstad made a big mistake that could hurt Iowa’s economy. He vetoed a bipartisan compromise to provide more than $2 million to Iowa’s community colleges.

Community colleges are key to helping Iowans get ahead and creating jobs in our state. They

Parades are politics to Kelley

Aaron Gunsaulus Newton Rep. Dan Kelley’s recent comments about parades are fascinating. First of all, according to his private Facebook rant, parades are important means of showing party unity during the caucus season. He even leads off that post with the observation that all the Democratic Presidential candidates were represented at the Jasper County Fair parade. Clearly, to Dan Kelley, parades are politics.

He changes his tune, howev-

work closely with state and local businesses to identify the skills businesses need and then help Iowans acquire those skills.

That’s why I signed a request for a special session to consider overturning that veto. State Sen. Amy Sinclair, of Allerton, has yet to do so.

I encourage you to contact Sen. Sinclair and remind her that Des Moines Area Community College, Indian Hills Community College and Southwestern Community College stand

to lose approximately $662,080, $118,196 and $39,039 respectively if the veto is not overturned.

This funding was approved by the Republican-led Iowa House and the Democratic-led Iowa Senate. We can afford it, and it is the right thing to do.

Please ask Senator Sinclair to put the interests of her district first and support a special session to restore this much needed help to the families and businesses in her district.

er, in his public comments to the Newton Daily News, where he says that he wouldn’t miss a parade, because they’re a great way to get out and meet people, and to show community spirit and pride. First of all … meet people? How many people can you reasonably hope to meet at a parade when you’re always riding down the middle of the road atop a shiny, red convertible? Maybe Dan should try walking the parade route once in a while if he really wants to meet his constituents. Second, his Facebook post shows that this really has nothing to do with community spirit and pride. It’s simply politics.

I applaud Doug Bishop for his support of our veterans, and for walking with them in parades. I applaud Sen. Allen for choosing his daughter and her NHS Pacesetters event over the county fair parade. I applaud Dennis Parrott for taking the low-profile position of manning the party booth while others participated in the parade.

The fact is, the Democratic Party, and Jasper County would be better off with more men like these in elected office.

Dan says it’s time for the party chair to take action. I agree. And his first step should be finding a primary challenger for the office currently held by Dan Kelley.

Hillary Clinton gave a speech warning that the new “sharing economy” of businesses such as the ride-hailing company Uber is “raising hard questions about workplace protections.”

Democrats h a t e w h a t labor u n i o n s By John Stossel hate, and a taxi drivers’ union hates Uber, too. Its NYC website proclaims, “Uber has the money. But we are the PEOPLE!” The taxi cartels, which provide inferior service and are micromanaged by government, don’t like getting competition from efficient companies like Uber.

Clinton didn’t mention Uber by name, but we don’t have to wonder which company she meant.

The New York Times reports that Clinton contacted Uber and told them her speech would threaten to “crack down” on companies that don’t treat independent contractors as full employees. Apparently, Democrats think something’s wrong if people are independent contractors.

But no driver is forced to work for Uber. People volunteer. They like the flexibility. They like getting more use out of their cars. It’s win-win-win.

Drivers earn money, customers save money while gaining convenience and Uber makes money. Why does Clinton insist on interfering with that?

Clinton’s “social democrat” pal, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, wants to crack down on Uber by limiting how many drivers they may hire. Uber cleverly responded with an app — a “de Blasio option” — that shows people how much longer they’d have to wait if de Blasio gets his way.

Good for Uber for fighting back. I wish more companies did.

Federal Express didn’t.

FedEx Ground classified drivers as independent contractors. Again, drivers were willing to drive, FedEx was willing to pay, and customers got packag-

es faster and more reliably than they did from the U.S. Postal Service.

But lawyers built a class action suit on behalf of FedEx drivers, saying they should be treated as employees, paying payroll tax, getting workman’s compensation, receiving benefits. FedEx Ground settled the case for $228 million and began abandoning its independent contractor system.

Uber’s use of independent drivers — who use their own cars — is now called analogous to FedEx’s use of delivery drivers.

That means Uber may soon have to treat its drivers as employees. Business analysts at ZenPayroll estimate that the changes will cost $209 million. We customers will pay for that, and we’ll have fewer rideshare choices, too.

Lawsuits and politicians’ attacks against one company have a chilling effect on others. The “independent contractor” assault will destroy all sorts of companies we’ll never even know about because now they won’t come into existence.

Some of the entrepreneurs who dreamed of starting them will look at the additional costs, crunch the numbers and decide there’s not enough profit potential to risk investing their money.

Who knows what odd but popular sharing-economy innovations aren’t happening even now — ones we’d use and love — because businesspeople with great ideas are frightened by the Clintons, deBlasios and lawyers?

In France, the old-fashioned cabbies rioted against Uber, blocking Uber cars and dropping rocks on them from a bridge. Instead of arresting rioters, the French government threatened to arrest Uber executives for breaking taxi rules. Once again, without even a new law directed specifically at Uber, the enemies of free choice got their way. Paris police have been ordered to forbid use of the Uber app.

I disagree with Jeb Bush about many things, but he was right to praise Uber for “disrupting the old order” of business.

In Chicago, she met and married Roger Ghormley July 10, 1943.

In the 1980s, she helped document quilts for the Nebraska Quilt Project survey and is featured in the book Nebraska Quilts and Quiltmakers.

In 1987, she was elected to the Nebraska Quilter’s Hall of Fame in recognition of the many roles she had served in the renaissance of quiltmaking and collecting in the late 20th century.

Mary was one of the key influences in bringing the International Quilt Study Center to Lincoln. Since its formation in 1997, she had put in many volunteer hours at the center. Her collection of doll quilts and extensive quilt library were acquired by the center. Eighty doll quilts from Mary’s collection were featured in the book “Childhood Treasures, Doll Quilts By and For Children,” published in 2008, and authored by Merikay Waldvogel, a nationally known quilt authority. At the center her quilt library is housed in the resource room which is associated with the Mary Campbell Ghormley Reading Room, which was sponsored by the Lincoln Quilters Guild.

Mary is survived by her husband, Roger; five children, Peggy (Cary) McAllaster of Derby,

Kan.; Phyllis (David) Hill of Anchorage, Ark.; Marilyn (Dave) Bruce of Omaha, Neb.; Keith ( Jana) Ghormley of Lincoln, Neb.; Martha (Tom) Sharp of Lincoln, Neb.; 18 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; and 11 nephews and nieces.

THE BORN LOSER

FAMILY CIRCUS

Wedding may be wrong time for found father to reappear DEAR ABBY: I am 32 and getting married in a year. My biological father lives in Spain and has never been to the U.S. My mother met him when she was teaching English there. I was born in the states and never knew or spoke to my dad growing up. When I was 5, I was adopted by my mom’s then-husband.

At 20, while studying in Spain, I located my father and his wife. We maintain a good relationship, but I haven’t been back there, and he has never met my family.

Mom harbors a lot of resentment toward my father. She tells me he took no interest in me as a baby and never sent any money or letters. She gets emotional when he is brought up in conversation. He doesn’t feel this way toward her. When I mentioned to Mom that I plan to invite him and his wife to the wedding, she got upset. She told me I have no business inviting him and that she doesn’t want to see him.

I do not share my mother’s resentment. I don’t want my father to feel excluded. I worry about Mom’s feelings and about my father’s first U.S. trip being during the wedding when I will surely be distracted with lots of things.

Please advise. — BRIDE TORN IN TWO IN NEBRASKA DEAR BRIDE: Your father may have no hard feelings toward your mother because it appears he accepted no emotional or financial responsibility at the time you were conceived. If he knew she was pregnant and offered no help, then all of that fell on her shoulders.

It’s appropriate you are worried about your mother’s feelings, because you should be. If you want a relationship with your father, no one can prevent you. However, if he hasn’t “earned” the right to be at your wedding and if you have any sensitivity at all to your mother’s feelings, entertain him in the

U.S. at a later date when he can have your full attention. (I hesitate to say “the attention he deserves” because I’m not sure he deserves any.)

DEAR ABBY: I’m 56 and still don’t know what I want to do with my life. I have no real talents or passions. I have 1,000 interests and hobbies, none of which would ever develop into a career.

I have worked whatever job I could get to pay the bills (more or less), but they have all been near minimum wage, so 10 years from retirement, I have no savings.

I got to the point I was so miserable at my last job that I quit without having another one waiting for me, so I’ll probably end up taking whatever deadend job I can get just to get a paycheck.

How can I convince potential employers I can do something different when I don’t believe it myself? — DIANE IN CANTON, ILL. DEAR DIANE: Your problem is you have lost faith in yourself. If you have had “1,000 interests and hobbies,” I’m betting you are proficient in at least half of them, which means you DO have a wealth of varied experiences to offer some lucky employer. Please keep that in mind the next time you go for an interview, because as long as you have the determination, it is never too late.

DAVENPORT — Around $1 million is being raised to build a special baseball field in Davenport for children with physical and mental disabilities.

City parks and recreation director Scott Hock met recently with Miracle League officials for help in designing a new field at Prairie Heights Park that would have a rubberized surface and no elevation changes. Miracle League is a national organization that provides opportunities for children with disabilities.

Body pulled from river near Council Bluffs COUNCIL BLUFFS — Authorities have been trying to identify the body of a man that was pulled from the Missouri River at Council Bluffs. The body was spotted a little before 5:30 p.m. Sunday just south of the Veterans Memorial Bridge, which connects Council Bluffs with south Omaha, Nebraska. Council Bluffs firefighters recovered the body less than 30 minutes later. An autopsy has been ordered.

2016 Republicans use Trump, TV to make debate cut The Associated Press AMES — Rick Perry is attacking Donald Trump’s credibility and branding the billionaire businessman “a cancer on conservatism.” Rick Santorum, a conservative stalwart, popped up on a TV program popular with liberals. Lindsey Graham set his cellphone on fire.

With the first debate of the Republican presidential campaign approaching, the White House hopefuls are trying everything they can to improve their polling position.

A candidate needs to place in the top 10 in an average of national polls to meet the criteria Fox News Channel has set to take the stage Aug. 6 in Cleveland.

Those kept out risk being overlooked by voters and financial backers heading into the critical fall stretch before the nominating contests start early in 2016.

“If you’re not on the stage you’re irrelevant, you don’t matter,” said Republican pollster Frank Luntz. “Unless you have some serious ad dollars, it’s not a glass ceiling. It’s a con-

crete ceiling.”

At of this past week, former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former New York Gov. George Pataki, ex-Pennsylvania Sen. Santorum and South Carolina Sen. Graham were outside the top 10. Others close to the edge including Ohio Gov. John Kasich, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and ex-Texas Gov. Perry.

That would relegate them to a second-tier debate, only an hourlong airing before the prime-time event.

20-year-old Iowa National Guard airman drowns in Guam MANGILAO, Guam (AP) — A member of the Iowa National Guard has drowned while swimming in Guam.

The Iowa National Guard said in a news release that 20-year-old Senior Airman Drew Bellairs of Osage was swimming at Mar-

bo Cave in Mangilao, Guam, Saturday when he drowned.

Col. Greg Hapgood said Bellairs and a group of friends were swimming for fun when Bellairs swam into the air pocket of a cave and was not able to get out. His friends retrieved scuba gear to try and help him

out of the area, but he was unresponsive when they returned.

Bellairs was serving on temporary duty while assigned to the 506th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. He was a student at Iowa State University.

Car fire on I-80

In Iowa, Clinton says climate plan will promote renewables The Associated Press AMES — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton says climate change is real and people are “just not paying attention” if they don’t acknowledge it.

Addressing this issue Sunday, Clinton touted a program that would combat climate change at least in part by changing the tax code to promote renewable energy.

“This is not complicated folks,” the former secretary of state told more than 200 people at Iowa State University.

“I’m just a grandmother with two eyes and a

brain. And I know we’re facing huge problem.”

Climate change has become a key issue in the Democratic presidential primary, where Clinton is the heavy favorite.

Clinton was scheduled to discuss the plan in detail during a public event in Des Moines Monday morning.

Billionaire Tom Steyer has led an effort to promote the issue. The California-based Steyer hosted a fundraiser for Clinton in May. Clinton proposes, through tax incentives, to increase the amount of power derived from renewable sources to support every home in

the United States within 10 years.

For instance, Clinton said she supports renewing the wind energy tax credit as part of over time shifting the U.S. energy system from one based on fossil fuels.

“We need to get the incentives fixed in our tax system which as you know are too heavily weighted toward fossil fuels,” Clinton said during a day of campaigning in central Iowa.

Clinton also hinted that her plans would impose changes on the coal industry, though she also pledged the government’s help for workers to make the transition.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The Newton Fire Department responded to a vehicle fire at about 10:25 a.m. Friday along Interstate 80 in Newton. Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik said only a fire extinguisher was needed to put it out. There were three occupants in the car that experienced some sort of engine malfunction, which caused a fire that completely destroyed the engine. No one was injured, and the department transported three people to Love’s Truck Stop, where they had a ride waiting.

Prairie Days succeeds amid hot, humid weather

Alex Olp/Daily News Despite some rain Sunday morning, all Prairie Days events during the weekend went on as planned. People lined up to watch the annual tractor pull and play in the bag toss tournament, while kids played on bounce houses and enjoyed Jonathan May the magician and the Blank Park Zoo show and tell.

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News PRAIRIE CITY — Families attending Prairie Days had to battle the heat all weekend, but clear weather allowed for kids to run around the Garden Square.

Fire departments from throughout Jasper County and central Iowa helped kick off the party Friday evening with water fights in the streets of Prairie City. Also on the first night, classic country group Hwy 163 performed on the Garden Square Bandstand.

But the following evening is when everyone found shade along the streets of Prairie City to get ready for the community parade.

The parade featured the town’s public safety departments, but also clubs including the Prairie City-Monroe Little League all star teams, the Prairie City Garden Club and PCM cheerleaders.

The Jasper County Fair queen and princess also sat in the back of cars and waved to the crowd.

Earlier in the day, the children’ parade made its way through the streets beginning at the city hall building. Kids hitched rides on tractors, walked with friends and rode their bikes along the square.

Afterward, children made their way to the grandstand for a show and tell by the Blank Park Zoo. Kids learned about and were able to pet many small animals from around the world, including lizards, frogs, turtles and even a hedgehog.

While that was going on, the tractor pull made its presence known and drew a large crowd all day to the corner of Jefferson and Marshall streets.

Every once in a awhile, a tractor made its way down the entire track and people around the square cheered the driver.

Three town mainstays were honored Saturday following the flag raising ceremony for their unique contributions to the community. Prairie City Church of the Brethren Pastor Tim Peter — who is active with Habitat for Humanity, a co-organizer of the annual local Toys for Tots drive and has helped spearhead charitable

giving in the Prairie City Ministerial Association — was honored as citizen of the year. Prairie City-based Royal Plumbing was named business of the year due to its expansion and large employment base.

Lifelong Prairie City resident Gene Vandelune was given the town’s lifetime achievement award for the 2015 Prairie Days. Vandelune, 84, is an active Lions Club member and has taken the lead in planning and fundraising the newly built veterans memorial in Garden Square Park.

Many of these events are traditions at the annual Prairie Days.

Ginger Wagman and Lee Borchardt have lived in Prairie City their whole lives — attending Prairie Days each summer — and said Prairie Days has changed a lot over the years. They got to the square right away both Saturday and Sunday mornings.

“The magician was good and we watched the dancers this morning — the kids. It’s just good to see all the talent there is in the town,” Borchardt said.

Jonathan May was the magician who took the stage around 3 p.m. Saturday. He got many oohs and aahs with his magic and kids joined the stage throughout his act to help with tricks.

Other highlights of Saturday were dance performances by Prairie City-Monroe cheerleaders and Stepping Out Dance Studio, the best chocolate chip cookie contest, which was won by Katherine McClure, the Uptown bag toss tournament and non-stop action at the bingo tent.

Fireworks at the Prairie City Rec Complex ended the evening and a community breakfast was held Sunday morning to end Prairie Days 2015.

Stacie Alleger is the organizer of Prairie Days and was happy to see everyone have fun and for having the weather cooperate for most of the weekend.

“Prairie Days is a time for us to come together with our family, friends and neighbors to celebrate the great community we have here in Prairie City,” she said. “Chad (Alleger) and I feel very blessed to be raising our family in this town.”

She also wants to give thanks to the committee members, volunteers and Christy Lindsay for their help to make it a successful weekend.

The 7 p.m. parade also featured the Jasper County Fair Queen and princess, the Prairie City Garden Club, the towns public safety departments and Prairie City-Monroe’a band, little league teams and cheerleaders.

Clean the surface of the grill of old food and heat the grill before use to reduce exposure to bacteria. Avoid charring meats because this can cause the formation of cancer-causing agents.

Marinate foods in the refrigerator, not on the counter. Marinating meats also reduces possible carcinogens. Never mix uncooked meats with cooked meats. Never reuse utensils and platters that have come into contact with raw meat, seafood or poultry without cleaning them with hot water and soap.

Three Cardinal softball players receive LHC honors

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Changing positions did not alter her play on the softball field in 2015. Sydney Jenkins delivered on the field as shortstop for Newton High’s Cardinals as she did as catcher the past two years.

Little Hawkeye Conference coaches noticed and recognized Jenkins by naming her to the 2015 All-Little Hawkeye Conference firstteam softball squad.

After two years as the all-conference catcher, Jenkins received honors as an infielder.

Two of the younger members of the Newton softball team received honorable mention honors from the conference coaches. Peyton Maher, an eighth-grader, and freshman Karley Leiker were the Cardinals’ top pitcher and right fielder, respectively.

Jenkins was joined on the first team by unanimous selections Alexis Groet and Aubrey Miller of Oskaloosa, Madison Carpenter of Dallas Center Grimes, Miranda Hughes of Norwalk and Sara Tallman of Pella. Only two seniors made the first team — Paige Shanno and Allison O’Brien of DCG. Others named to the first team were Taylor Goode and Alyx Witt of Norwalk, Rachel Lowary of DCG, Emma Schnell of Pella Christian and Kylee Silliman of Oskaloosa.

Norwalk was the 2015 LHC champion at 10-1 followed by Oskaloosa at 8-3 and Dallas

Sydney Jenkins, First Team

Center-Grimes at 8-4.

Pella Christian went 7-5 followed by Pella at 4-7, Newton at 3-8 and Grinnell at 0-12.

DCG wrapped up its third straight Class 4A state softball tournament title Friday. Four of the LHC teams finished in the final regular-season rankings — 4A: 4. Oskaloosa, 7. Norwalk, 9 DCG; 2A: 6. Pella Christian. Pella reached the 4A state tournament along with DCG, finishing fourth.

Jenkins led the Cardinals in all offensive categories during the 2015 season. She led the team in hitting for the third straight season with a .500 batting average. She owned a .830 slugging percentage and a .597 onbase percentage.

As Newton’s leadoff hitter for most of the season, Jenkins was 20 of 22 on stolen base attempts.

She drew 21 walks and

was hit by pitches three times. She only struck out eight times. Jenkins had 50 hits, which included eight doubles, five triples and five home runs.

She drove in 29 runs and scored 37 runs.

Jenkins’ batting average and stolen base total ranked third in the LHC. Jenkins switched from catcher to shortstop this season. She had a .882 fielding percentage. She had 15 errors on 127 fielding chances with 49 putouts and 63 assists.

Maher went 12-12 for the Cardinals, who finished 16-17 on the season.

She had a 1.90 earned run average in 162 innings pitched. Maher allowed 122 hits and 72 runs, walked 43 batters and hit seven with a pitch.

Maher chalked up 151 strikeouts, which was fourth most in the conference. She had a fielding percentage of

.944 and three errors.

Maher provided plenty at the plate for the Cardinals as the cleanup hitter. Her .355 batting average was second best for the team. She had 38 hits, which included six doubles. Maher drove in 24 runs and scored eight.

Leiker usually hit in the second slot of the Newton batting order.

She finished the season with a .282 batting average, which was fourth on the team. She had 29 hits and one double.

Leiker drove in 23 runs and scored 16 runs.

Leiker walked twice and struck out 11 times.

She was 5 of 5 on stolen base attempts. In right field, Leiker had a .960 fielding average, and had one error.

Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter sophomore Abbey Kahler hit nearly .400 at the plate and struck out more than 100 batters in the circle during conference play.

Kahler’s teammate, junior Payge Jurgens, led the Raiders with nine home runs, 25 RBIs, 25 runs and 22 walks.

Colfax-Mingo sophomore Amy Russell was fourth in conference play with a .422 batting average and she also led the Tigerhawks in runs, doubles, RBIs and walks

HOIC: Sixteen area players honored by league Continued from Page 1B

But only four separated themselves from the rest of the pack.

CMB and PCM tied for second in conference play with identical 13-5 records. And Kahler, Jurgens and Vignovich were at the front of the line.

Kahler was a first-team pitcher but also batted .337 overall and blasted four homers. She finished 18-12 in the circle and had an earned run average of 1.70 with 191 strikeouts.

Jurgens, a first-team utility selection, hit .365 in HOIC play. Included in that was five homers and 13 RBIs. She hit .330 overall.

Vignovich, a first-team infielder, made up for a lost junior season with a stellar final campaign. At the top of the order, Vignovich hit .364 overall with 24 runs, 17 RBIs and 11 walks. She drove in 13 runs in HOIC play.

Russell helped the Tigerhawks finish strong in conference play. She hit .451 in conference play and batted .422 with a team-best 33 runs, 12 doubles, 29 RBIs and 28 walks. She also was second on the team with four home runs.

During conference play, Russell, a first-team infielder, had an on base percentage of .594.

PCM had three second-team selections, including sophomore infielder Jayci Vos, sophomore outfielder Kayla Jennings and senior pitcher Rachel Freland.

CMB’s second-team picks were senior catcher Abbey Appelgate and sophomore infielder Mikayla Eslinger.

Colfax-Mingo freshman Ries Wilson was a second-team pick as a utility player.

Freland went 16-9 overall in the circle in 2015. She also struck out 129 batters and had an ERA of 2.87. In league play, Freland went 11-4 and fanned 84.

Vos was second behind Vignovich with a .362 batting average. She also hit two homers with 24 RBIs, 12 stolen bases, 29 runs and a team-best 14 doubles. Vos hit .424 in conference play and scored 18 runs with 10 stolen bases.

Jennings hit .303 with 26 runs and 17 RBIs at the plate, and was 5-2 with a 1.17 ERA in the circle.

Eslinger hit .325 for the Raiders, and she blasted four home runs with 16 RBIs, while Appelgate batted .283 in conference play and drew 10 walks.

Wilson became the Tigerhawks’ primary pitcher midway through the season. She batted .397 with a team-best six homers and also drove in 19 runs, scored 26 times and had 10 doubles. In 12 starts in the circle, Wilson had an ERA of 3.72.

Honorable mention selections included CMB senior MacKenzie Schmitz and sophomore Megan Ritter, PCM senior Makenna VanVeen and sophomore Katie VandeWall and Colfax-Mingo seniors Erin Earles and Sara Lahart.

The only two unanimous all-HOIC first-team selections were Saydel outfielder Liz Miklus and Greene County pitcher Marissa Promes.

Miklus hit .440, scored 52 runs and stole 33 bases for the Eagles, while Promes led the Rams to a third-place finish in Class 3A following a season in which she finished 30-4 with a 2.16

Wallace Continued from Page 1B “When Kenny revealed that his last NASCAR race would come at Iowa Speedway, we gave serious thought to how we could best recognize his accomplishments. We knew we had to put together a celebration as big as his personality,” said Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small.

“It doesn’t get much bigger than having a race named in your honor. That is something that will live on as long as we keep records, and Kenny Wallace is a person who is truly deserving of that distinction.”

Royals

Continued from Page 1B has underperformed this year and Jason Vargas will miss the rest of the season after he injured his elbow last week — increasing the need for pitching help.

The Royals last won the title in 1985, and the trade was greeted with a loud ovation when it was announced during the third inning of Kansas City’s home game against Houston on Sunday afternoon.

Cueto, who is eligible for free agency after the season, had spent his entire career with Cincinnati. But the fourthplace Reds are looking to the future and could trade several more significant pieces before Friday’s non-waiver deadline,

Phillies’ Hamels tosses no-hitter against Cubs CHICAGO (AP) — The scouts packed the seats behind home plate, and Cole Hamels put on quite a show.

The lanky left-hander was dominant on a picturesque afternoon at Wrigley Field.

Quite the timing, too.

Hamels struck out 13 in baseball’s third no-hitter of the season, leading Philadelphia to a 5-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday in what might be his final start for the Phillies.

The 2008 World Series MVP has been mentioned prominently in trade talks as the July 31 deadline approaches.

“It’s something where you just go out there and enjoy the moment,” Hamels said.

As grand marshal, Wallace will say the four most famous words in racing – “Drivers, start your engines!” prior to the start of the race. Following the race, Wallace will be in Casey’s General Stores Victory Lane to present the trophy to the winner of the 13th meeting at Iowa Speedway between the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and West.

“I love connecting with fans from all over the world on social media sites, so when I was told about the hashtag (#ThanksKenny), it really made me smile and laugh at the same time,” said Wallace. “To know that the K&N race is going to be named after me, that’s just

something else.

“I think it’s fun that Iowa Speedway is doing this for me and all the NASCAR fans. I’m really excited to give the command to “Start your Engines” on Friday night. That’s definitely something new for me, but I already have a plan on how I’m going to say it, and of course it will be funny.”

Midwestern tribute band, Rock Godz, will close out the 2015 NAPA Auto Parts Concert Series in style on Friday.

Immediately following Victory Lane festivities for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East / West #ThanksKenny 150, Rock Godz will hit the Pork Party Pavilion overlooking Turn 4.

including right-hander Mike Leake and All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman.

Cincinnati got minor league left-handers Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb and Cody Reed in the trade for Cueto, who was one of the top starters on the market. The Reds also are sending money to the Royals to help pay Cueto’s remaining salary for the year.

Finnegan and Lamb were assigned to Triple-A Louisville, and Reed went to Double-A Pensacola.

Finnegan was selected by the Royals in the first round of last year’s draft. He made seven playoff appearances in 2014, but has split time between Triple-A Omaha and Kansas City this year.

The 25-year-old Lamb, a fifth-round pick in 2008, is 9-1 with a 2.67 ERA in 17

starts for Omaha.

Cueto, 29, won 20 games last season and is 7-6 with a 2.62 ERA in 19 starts this year. He pitched eight scoreless innings in Cincinnati’s 5-2 victory at Colorado on Saturday night.

The right-hander made his major league debut with Cincinnati in 2008 and is 92-63 with a 3.21 ERA in eight seasons.

The deal reunites Edinson Volquez and Cueto after the pitchers spent four years together in Cincinnati.

The close friends are from the Dominican Republic, and Volquez, who signed a $20 million, two-year deal with the Royals this past offseason, served as a mentor to Cueto when he broke into the big leagues in 2008. They have even spoken of their desire to play together once again.

“What I want is to be successful at it. I enjoyed the moment and this happened.”

Hamels (6-7) was in control right from the start against the contending Cubs, and then got some help from rookie center fielder Odubel Herrera in the final two innings.

It also was the fourth no-hitter for catcher Carlos Ruiz, including the playoffs, according to STATS — tops in NL history and tied with Jason Varitek for the major league record.

“I was thinking about one inning at a time,” Ruiz said.

“That’s what I was thinking — something special could happen today.”

​Johnson, Martinez, Smoltz, Biggio enter Hall of Fame COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Three pitchers who became dominant after trades and a rock-solid catcher-turned-second baseman have a new moniker — Hall of Famer.

Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz and Craig Biggio were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday and basked in the spotlight one more time with at least 40,000 fans cheering from the sundrenched field beyond.

For Martinez, the last to speak, the moment was magical as scores in the crowd waved Dominican flags for one of their own.

Martinez, who also delivered part of his speech in Spanish, and former Giants great Juan Marichal, elected

in 1983, are the only Hall of Famers from the Caribbean nation.

Playing through an era tainted by steroids and ruled by offense — compliments of bulked-up sluggers, a smaller strike zone and smaller ballparks — Johnson, Martinez and Smoltz proved indomitable.

They combined for 735 wins, 11,113 strikeouts and nine Cy Young Awards.

Biggio, who played four positions in his 20-year career, all with the Houston Astros, was indefatigable, becoming an All-Star at second base and behind the plate.

Martinez was 219-100 for his career and helped Boston win a championship in 2004.

Astrograph

As for the people who seem to be in love with themselves, there’s something oddly attractive about them at first. If you accidentally become enamored, you’re not to be blamed as long as the fiery Sagittarius moon and the Leo sun rule the sky. Just know that it’s hard to get back home when you’re traveling down a one-way street.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 27). Your superpowers surge as planets dose you with constellation elation. Your cash flow will increase steadily.

September will highlight the visionary part of you. Go forward -- you’ll meet the

right person to take your plan all the way. You may have mad chemistry with someone, but good relationships require much more. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 50, 22, 27 and 31.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You can’t hide something that’s not there. It’s why emptiness is so embarrassing.

It’s why people feel driven to fill it with just about anything around. Be sensitive to lack.

Everyone lacks something.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You may be by yourself for hours today, but you won’t feel

lonely, largely because your noble thoughts and extraordinary interests keep you company.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The amateurs complain that they weren’t meant for this activity or that one. It’s not true.

It doesn’t matter what you’re doing; you shine through it.

You can’t help but be you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Thomas Jefferson suggested that the best government governs the least. He trusted human nature and expected that people usually will discipline themselves. Do you think that’s true? Today will make you wonder.

Short on Cash?

If you are interested in making some extra cash we have the PERFECT opportunity for you.

Route packages available Make Approx. $200 every 4 weeks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Here’s a case for articulation and specificity: The right words ring through you, resonating with your very being and shaking loose the tarnishing muck.

Those words that are close but not right have no resonance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Invest what you have in a safe bet, or in the ordinary things on which you would normally focus your energy. If you don’t have the goods yet, build them and grow them before promising them away. Stay debt-free.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

When inaction is the norm, it takes boldness -- some would say insanity -- to act. You have the guts to make a difference.

You’ll set the wheels in motion and be admired.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Look ahead and decide whether you have the means to get there or not. This is no time for conjecture. You can’t jump a chasm in two leaps.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

The most exciting person to be around is the one who challenges you, catches you off guard and makes you feel alive. Such a person will come into your life within the week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A wise man said that love is life. However, “love” is also one of the most ambiguous words in the human language.

You’ll explore what it means to you and come up with a few defining principles.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Destiny suggests you’ll be rekindling the past. It takes a long time to know someone, and if you’ve been apart for a few years, the getting-toknow-you process must happen all over again, as people change.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Your love life has been a combination of exhilarating highs and disheartening lows, so much so that you welcome the easy, uneventful, coasting sensation you’ll get today.
