I

t is not every day one can see a group of 250 Jasper County residents holding hands and forming a giant circle and singing in Maytag Park. In fact, it only happens once a year thanks to the outgoing and entertaining personalities of Andy Anderson and Mike Leeds.

For three years, the dueling pianos duo has brought music, laughter, entertainment and even hand holding to hundreds as part of the Summer Concert Series hosted by Newton Parks and Grounds Division. The duo will return with their pianos and senses of humor at 7 p.m.

Thursday at Maytag Park.

“This show is all about you, the audience. It’s your show, not our show,” said Anderson, who has been performing with Leeds since 2008. “It’s all about

just letting go and seeing a concert that is meant for you to just laugh, sing, dance, cry and learn something just a little more awkward about the people you bring with you. So, we’re sort of like FarmersOnly.com that way.”

City of Newton Parks Administrative Superintendent Nathan Unsworth, who planned the concert series, said he looks forward to the group’s performance annually because of their sense of humor and high energy.

“We have invited the dueling pianos because they are a fun group with a lot of energy,” he said. “They are such a fun group that everyone leaves with a smile on their face. They are, by far, the most popular act each year.”

Unsworth is not the only one looking forward to the performance. Anderson said the band is ready to return to Newton

for its unique venue and “great” crowd.

“Mike and I have had the honor of playing almost all the major concert venues in the state of Iowa, and the Maytag Bowl has this unique feel to it when we play there, this excitement that makes us want to step up our game a bit,” he said. “On top of that, the crowd is always adorable. Literally. I love those moments in front of the Newton crowd where literally everyone in the audience has this huge child-like smile on their face or is laughing hysterically.

It’s this bond that we form with them through the whole night.”

Joining Anderson and Leeds on stage is “Party! Party! The Ultimate Karaoke Band.” The group, which includes Nick Borror (bass and lead vocals), Joe Kiplinger (guitar) and Josh Ickowitz (drums), will be PIANOS | 3A

A $350 reward is being offered for the positive identification of the person who broke into Fore Seasons Golf and stole money early Sunday morning.

The amount has grown from $100 the owners initially offered following the burglary at 6232 Hwy 74 S. “We have had several customers put up reward money out of their own pocket because they are furious. People that fre-

quent our place love it and consider it their bar.

So they not only invaded us as business owners, but our employees and our customers,” said Dawn Peters, owner of Fore Seasons.

Peters said $2,000 in cash was taken from the establishment and damage was done to a computer and the front door.

BREAKING NEWS This story first appeared online at www. newtondailynews.com

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The Newton building where so many strikes and spares have been logged will again be up and running as a bowling alley soon, as a local couple has agreed to buy it.

Tuesday, real estate agent Lisa McKinney told the Newton Daily News that she and her husband, Brian, have signed an agreement to purchase Cardinal Lanes from Great Southern Bank.

“The goal is to open for Labor Day weekend,” Lisa McKinney said.

“Leagues are scheduled to start the week after Labor Day.” She said there are plans to put in a family entertainment center at the bowling alley, with laser tag, a redemption arcade and party rooms for birthdays or corporate events. The food menu will be updated, with an effort made to keep it affordable.

8th Annual Clothed in Love set for second week in August

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News After months of collecting, the organizers of the 8th Annual Clothed in Love event are ready to invite the community to select clothes, backpacks and other free items at the event slated for Aug. 8 at Grace Church.

“It’s clothes for everybody,” organizer Ann McDonald said.

Starting at the end of May, McDonald along with a host of volunteers from the church have collected clothing donated by community members and those in the church. Then, on several Sundays throughout the summer, 20 to 30 volunteers, including the church’s youth group, spend hours sorting through the clothing to get ready for the event.

“We go through and collect clothes that people donate. We

sort through them and take out those that are stained or ripped, try to make sure they are nice clothes that people can use,” McDonald said.

Starting at 8 a.m., people can come to the church at 1620 N. 11th Ave. E., grab a trash bag and gathering clothing on a first come first serve basis. The event runs through 1 p.m.

“We let people come in and grab a bag to put clothes in,” McDonald said. “They can go through and take what they need. We have coats, shoes, everything that they would need to get going for school or get their wardrobe refreshed. We usually have about 500 people come through.”

Every size of clothing will be available from newborn to 4X and includes men, women, boys and girls clothing. The church will have diapers, wipes, school supplies and backpacks available

for free as well.

“We start them with one bag and that is what they go through with. If they need more, we ask them to go to the end of the line,” McDonald said.

Several area businesses also help in the drive through donations and use of their facilities. A to Z Mini Storage has donated space to help store the clothes through out the summer in preparation of the event.

Casey’s provides pizza to those who volunteer the day of the event. Great Western Bank donates money that the church uses to purchase the school supplies.

Remains of 4 early colonial leaders discovered at Jamestown WASHINGTON (AP) — Archaeologists have uncovered human remains of four of the earliest leaders of the English colony that would become America, buried for more than 400 years near the altar of what was America’s first Protestant church in Jamestown, Virginia.

The four burial sites were uncovered in the floor of what’s left of Jamestown’s historic Anglican church from 1608, a team of scientists and historians announced Tuesday. The site is the same church where Pocahontas famously married Englishman John Rolfe, leading to peace between the Powhatan Indians and colonists at the first permanent English settlement in America.

Beyond the human remains, archaeologists also found artifacts buried with the colonial leaders — including a mysterious Catholic container for holy relics found in the Protestant church.

The Jamestown Rediscovery archaeology team revealed its discovery at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. The museum is helping to study and identify those buried in the church. The burials were first uncovered in November 2013, but the scientific team wanted to trace and identify its findings with some certainty before announcing the discovery.

Archaeologists have been studying the site since 1994 when the original James Fort — long thought to be lost and submerged in the James River — was rediscovered.

The team identified the remains of the Rev. Robert Hunt, Jamestown’s first Anglican minister who was known as a peacemaker between rival colonial leaders; Capt. Gabriel Archer, a nemesis of one-time colony leader John Smith; Sir Ferdinando Wainman, likely the first knight buried in America; and

Capt. William West, who died in a fight with the Powhatan Indians. The three other men likely died after brief illnesses.

They were buried between 1608 and 1610.

“What we have discovered here in the earliest English church in America are four of the first leaders of America,” said historian James Horn who is president of the Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation. “There’s nothing like it anywhere else in this country.”

While the individuals buried at Jamestown were not royalty, they were considered pivotal figures in the early colony. Horn compared the find to the 2012 discovery of the lost grave of King Richard III in England.

Two years ago, the Jamestown team found evidence of survival cannibalism in the colony.

Perhaps just as interesting as the newly discovered human remains are some of the artifacts

buried with the bodies. Burial items were rare in English culture at the time, archaeologists said.

In the remnants of Archer’s coffin, archaeologists found a captain’s leading staff as a symbol of Archer’s military status. His-

torical records indicate Archer helped lead some of the earliest expeditions to Jamestown. He died at the age of 34 during a six-month period known as the “starving time” when many perished due to disease, starvation and battles with Indians.

The longtime owners and Cardinal Lanes operators, Jeff and Bev Van Blair, weathered 34 years worth of economic twists and turns before finally losing it to foreclosure in the late spring. During a May 19

sheriff ’s sale of the property, no one bid on it, and it went into the possession of Great Southern Bank.

The building was constructed around 1970. In September 1981, the Van Blairs purchased Cardinal Lanes from Joe Fleming. It was the Van Blairs’ second attempt at being proprietors of a bowling center, having purchased one in 1978 in Humboldt before it burned down later that same year.

Bev Van Blair, who has continued to serve on state and national bowling boards, expressed much gratitude in May for the way the community supported the facility and the sport through the years.

Cardinal Lanes provided high school teams a place to practice and hold meets without cost.

The Van Blairs began up-

grading the bowling center starting with replacing obsolete pin spotters and replacing the over-lane ball returns with under-lane ball returns during the summer of 1982.

A jackhammer was needed to create tunnels through concrete between all the lanes to install an underground return system.

A computer scoring system was installed in 1996.

Cardinal Lanes survived a rough downturn in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the closure of the Maytag plant in 2007, and spiraling costs that make running a small-town bowling alley a tough haul.

In May, Van Blair said 18 of the 20 lanes at the bowling center are usable. She said resurfacing lanes, which is done every three or four years, costs at least $17,000.

business, $2,000 is a lot of money.

It’s very heartbreaking that this happened to us,” Peters said.

More than 20 leads have come in since news of the break in hit social media Sunday. The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating all information, including the video of the suspect taken by a security camera in the facility.

“The video and the still photos are a lot better than 10 or even 20 years ago. In the video we still don’t have a real clear picture of the actual face.

You can kind of see what the person looks like and you can get an idea but as far as a good facial shot, unfortunately we didn’t get that,” Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty said.

“It’s still good information, it is better than what we had.”

Several videos along with still shots of the suspect were posted to the Fore Seasons Facebook page following the burglary and have been shared leading to tips coming into the business.

“One of the things we notice is when a victim or business puts things on social media people are more likely to contact them then us, which is fine if it gets us to the same resolution. It is great,” Halferty said. “They have been calling us and emailing us any information they get on social media.”

Halferty said the sheriff ’s office is following up on leads, and working to eliminate names that come through as possible suspects.

“A lot of cases you’re going to get a lot of names of who it isn’t. I can tell you that we’ve had people say it’s a certain person and we have already eliminated them,” Halferty said.

and Brian plan to keep 16 of the 20 lanes open, as the other lanes have been stripped of parts and materials. A new state-of-the-art pinsetter system, that is quiet and low-maintenance, will be installed.

“The pinspotters are from the 1950s, brought over used from Gibson bowling, which was where Sombreros strip mall is today,” McKinney said.

“They are obsolete, and parts are nearly impossible to find.”

She said there are longstanding plumbing issues that must be resolved. Three of the four HVAC units are original equipment, and the kitchen, bar, ceilings and walls all need work.

McKinney said she wouldn’t mind seeing the name remain the same, but suggestions for a new name are welcome. Suggestions for a new name, or to keep the traditional one, can be posted or commented on the Cardinal Lanes Facebook page.

McKinney sounded excited as she discussed the possibilities, but a lot of work is ahead.

“A lot has to happen in a short time,” she said. “It’s pretty overwhelming. We ask that the community will be patient and supportive through our growing pains.”

Anderson is inviting everyone, no matter how old, to join him and his bandmates at Thursday’s show, as long as those attending are prepared for a good

time.

“The show is meant for all ages, young and old,” he said. “A common misconception about dueling pianos is that it’s two guys sitting there and very boringly playing Beethoven and Mozart, which if you came to hear that, you are screwed. Dueling pianos is comedy, singing, crazy crowd participation — all of it.”

Downtown Continued from Page 1A lobby of city hall. The booklet is still a working document as suggestions from community members and city staff continue to come in.

An overview of the streetscape master plan was presented with visuals on what intersections could look like, how decorative paving could enhance the presentation of the downtown and what design work in alleyways could look like.

“We want to focus on re-establishing connections,” Beyers said. “We want to promote pedestrian connections as well as vehicular connections to and from these spaces.”

Intersections were a focus of the design to not only improve the circulation of vehicles but also the crosswalks.

“The way the town square is laid out it kind of creates these offset crosswalks. A lot of them are at an angle and we are going to try to enhance them so the crosswalks are squared up to the intersection. It allows a shorter distance for pedestrian to cross the street and ultimately a lot

safer crossing,” Beyers said.

Those in attendance also had the opportunity to vote on preferences on planters, benches, lighting and entrance signage for the downtown. Beyers said the information would be taken into consideration to make a cohesive plan for the downtown.

Another design element that citizens said was important for the downtown that was placed in the design was an event block. The area would be located on the north

side of the square and could be defined by decorative paving on the roadway and sidewalk.

“The overall goal and one of the things that came out of the last meeting was more open space, more civic space downtown,” Beyers said.

The two consultants will take the information they received from the open house and continue their work on the design of the area. Ultimately, the city will receive and design guideline booklet

I see — but for how much longer?

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | July 29, 2015

There are many signs that you’re getting old. Some are comical; others are discouraging, and some are somewhere in between.

Getting bifocals is somewhere in between. While it’s natural for us to make fun of deteriorating eyesight or hearing, it’s not really a lot of fun, and no-line bifocals sound like a real desperate need.

I’ve worn no-line bifocals for a few weeks, and already, the stigma has started to wear off. Not only did hardly anyone I see on a daily basis notice that I had new glasses, no one noticed when I have to adjust to see out of the proper “zone” of of the lenses.

However, the wearer and purchaser of the bifocals noticed.

He noticed that he’s transitioned from needing little-kid eyewear to teen and young-adult vision correction, to adult vision correction, and now into the transitions doctors have warned me about for years.

Because I don’t have any chil-

dren, my rites of passage are somewhat tied to health and physical abilities. Some World War II veterans have told me that losing a bodily function or mobility due to old age is much different than having an enemy take that function from you in your 20s, but it’s still tough do deal with, no matter the cause or timing.

Change of vision is nothing like losing a major organ or limb, but it’s a psychological change nonetheless. It’s one thing to know intellectually that no one is invincible; it’s quite another to receive periodic reminders of the frail nature of human life.

Not all of the chronology of my maturing eyeballs has been doom and despair. There have been comical moments — both pre-bifocal and in the short history of the “no-line” era — when I’ve stumbled visually. Misidentifying people, symbols, words or even types of food can be its own punchline, as can twisting or tilt-

ing your head to see through new lenses or suddenly noticing details others have been seeing for years.

I’m grateful for the chance to see at all, but I wonder what type of life-phase I’ll move into if I can’t see at all.

Other signs of age are less personal, and might make a great number of us feel a little older.

The Newton Daily News’ summer intern for this year, Savannah Eadens, was born in the late 1990s, so when she told us she read about the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, in history books and on the Internet, it made most of us in the newsroom realize we’d lived through a transition that is nearly impossible to describe.

However, most of ways in which we age are not as universally shared as the way we’ve had to take off our shoes at airports for more than a decade. Now, most of us have to convey the way we feel older with personal anecdotes, and while there might be some-

what widely known points of historical reference, each of us moves through phases of life that exist in our minds.

Most of us older than age 40 can remember fairly well the moment or year when we got our first cellular phone, and/or other wireless devices. I remember when I got my own record player, and while I eventually made peace with the hiss of a cassette player, I have never really adjusted to music that doesn’t have the record-player crackle in between songs.

The label “no lines” is perfect for my bifocals. Many of us struggle to understand the lines each other cross in our lifetimes, and why those are important to each individual. There are also lines we cross we don’t understand or appreciate until we’re on the other side of them.

American Conservative

Evil in America

Letter to the Editor

Ulterior motives at work in local politics Justin Reynolds Newton I am amused at Aaron Gunsaulus’ recent letter in which he gives the Jasper County Democrats advice on what he thinks is best for the county party. If you didn’t know better, you would think he was county chair, and had taken time off from door knocking for Hillary Clinton to talk about his friends Doug Bishop and Chaz Allen and Dennis Parrott, all Democratic

officeholders.

But something else is at work.

Gunsaulus is a well known, deeply conservative activist, something he’s very proud of.

And just a few days ago, a Confederate sympathizer, no friend to Democrats, also chimed in about the state of Jasper County Democratic politics.

These men are free to write any letter they choose. But I am in no mood to let them go unchallenged. Two of our elected Democrats, Treasurer Doug Bishop and Senator Chaz Allen are aligning themselves

with uncommonly right wing activists who are out of the mainstream. I voted for Doug and Chaz in spite of my misgivings. I should have known better after Chaz endorsed Terry Branstad for governor. I wanted to give them a chance.

I wish I hadn’t.

Having said that, I wish Chaz and Doug good luck in their future efforts as Jasper County Republicans, in spirit if not in name. I am sure they’ll formalize their jumping ship soon enough. In the meantime, we have a caucus to organize.

Or, in Young’s case, the walls of Hightower Monsanto.

He’s released a powerful new album called “The Monsanto Years.” It takes on the arrogant gene manipulator and avaricious pesticide merchant for its relentless attempts to profiteer at the expense of family farmers,

consumers, people’s democratic rights, and nature itself.

On the title track, Young sings: “The farmer knows he’s got to grow what he can sell, Monsanto, Monsanto/ So he signs a deal for GMOs that makes life hell with Monsanto, Monsanto/ Every year he buys the patented seeds/ Poison-ready, they’re what the corporation needs, Monsanto.”

Poor Monsanto. It says that Young’s lyrical truth has hurt its feelings.

Actually, Monsanto has no feelings, since it’s a corporation, a paper construct created solely for the purpose of maximizing the profits and minimizing the obligations of its big shareholders. Nonetheless, the global giant whined that Young’s song ignores “what we do every day to help make agriculture more

sustainable.”

“Sustainable” for whom?

By its daily actions, Monsanto shows that it’s working on sustainability for the corporate exploiter.

But “corporations don’t have children. They don’t have feelings or soul,” as Young puts it.

“They don’t depend on uncontaminated water, clean air, or healthy food to survive. They are beholden to one thing — the bottom line. I choose to speak truth to this economic power.”

In Neil Young’s music, mighty Monsanto has met a freewheeling cultural power it can’t intimidate, buy out, censor or escape.

This week, the Center for Medical Progress, an anti-abortion group dedicated to unmasking the atroci t i e s c o m m i t ted by taxpayer-funded abor- By Ben Shapiro t i o n juggernaut Planned Parenthood, released its latest in a series of undercover videos about the organization. In this video, Dr. Savita Ginde, vice president and medical director of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, calmly explains to the undercover reporter that the organs of babies killed in the womb can be sold separately.

“I think a per-item thing works a little better,” she tells the faux buyer while standing over a tray of kidney and spinal cord from a recently aborted baby.

The tape sounds like something from the laboratory of Dr. Josef Mengele. But to the left, the murder of the unborn is routine. Former secretary of state and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton defended Planned Parenthood, stating that Planned Parenthood has “provided essential services for women,” calling the videos “an attack against a woman’s right to choose.”

Presumably, she then ran out of other euphemisms for the butchering of the unborn.

Meanwhile, former Arkansas governor and 2016 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee drew heavy media fire slamming President Obama’s decision to guarantee both Iran’s regional power and nuclear weapons within a decade.

Huckabee stated, “This president’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history. It is so naive that he would trust the Iranians. By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.”

Huckabee’s invocation of the Holocaust to describe Obama’s facilitation of a genocidal anti-Semitic regime offended President Obama significantly more than a similarly timed tweet from Ayatollah Khamenei containing imagery of an Obama silhouette with a gun to its head.

Obama whined, “The particular comments of Mr. Huckabee are just part of a general pattern we’ve seen that would be considered ridiculous if it weren’t so sad.” Clinton said she was “disappointed and I am really offended personally. ... I find this kind of inflammatory rhetoric totally unacceptable.”

She does not, however, find the prospect of a regionally dominant Iran lording over Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, and building up terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, all while the United States provides a shield for Iran’s nuclear program. The real problem, she and the left believe, lies in likening Obama’s Iran policy to Western malfeasance with regard to Hitler.

The left’s willingness to participate in Planned Parenthood’s genocide against the unborn and the Iranian government’s planned genocide against the Jews speaks to the nature of evil. Americans are fearful of invoking Hitlerian analogies because Hitler is seen, wrongly, as a sort of evil apart from the norms of humankind — he must have known he was evil, an evil of a different sort altogether from daily evil. The same holds true, people typically think, of the Germans complicit in his designs.

That’s inaccurate. Hitler undoubtedly saw himself as a good man. More importantly, millions of Germans joined in Hitler’s evil because it was easier to look the other way than to confront the nature of an evil they had allowed to flourish. It is always easier to shrug through life by relying on euphemisms than to stand up to the daily evil we encounter.

The Storybook Project recruits, screens and trains volunteers to work with incarcerated parents and/or grandparents at the Iowa Correctional Institute

for Women (ICIW) in Mitchellville and the Newton Correctional Release Center (CNRC) in Newton. Once per month, volunteers work with the mother, grandmother or father. The parent/grandparent and volunteer choose a book from the Storybook library that is appropriate for the child. The parent

or grandparent reads the book while the volunteer records the reading onto a digital voice recorder. The book and CD are then mailed to the child.

Even though their mothers can’t be with them to read bedtime stories, the children can still hear special messages thanks to the Story-

book Project. The program provides comfort to children each month by offering them a recording of their mothers reading books.

The Chapter donated more than 200 children’s books. Jennifer Ewing, chapter vice regent, delivered the books to Tabby Kuehl, volunteer coordinator.

Hidden security cameras are shocking surprise for daughter DEAR ABBY: I’m a 19-year-old woman in college who still lives with my parents. I found out something several weeks ago that’s bothering me, and I need advice badly.

Years ago, after a robbery, my parents installed security cameras outside our house. I knew about them because they were visible. But apparently some were installed that I knew nothing about.

I have done things while alone to help control certain feelings, and I have also walked around without much on when my parents were away and never thought anything about it.

Ever since I found out, I have been freaking out.

I don’t want to make a big deal about it because I’m afraid if my parents didn’t look at anything before, then they will now. I want to know if they have seen what I was doing.

Part of me says to ignore this because they’re family — so who cares.

My parents have never said anything about seeing me.

We’re Catholics, and I have heard the lecture about avoiding self-gratification ever since I can remember. I’m very careful about what I do now, but I am still bothered. Should I just forget and move on, or should I ask? — POSSIBLY PARANOID DEAR POSSIBLY PARANOID: If your parents had been viewing the security footage and felt you were doing something wrong, you would have heard about it from them by now. What you need to know is that masturbation is normal. It is not depraved, a crime or harmful to your health. ALL normal boys and girls (and some adults, too) practice this natural type of sexual gratification. (If it makes you feel guilty because you have been told it’s “wrong,” then stop doing it.) Now, forget about it and move on.

DEAR ABBY: I am a gay male and my boyfriend of three years just confessed to me that he’s been cheating on me for the better part of our relationship. We went to counseling in an attempt to repair the damage that was done, and to see if I could regain any of the trust that I once had in him. During our counseling session he told me that he was sleeping with his stepbrother. I had forgiven him prior to this disclosure and thought I could move past it, but I’m no longer sure I can.

Before he told me about the cheating, I had bought an engagement ring for him and was nearly finished paying for it. Now I am unsure if I want to pay it off because I am so appalled about what has transpired. On the other hand, I’m afraid it will affect my credit history if I don’t. What would you do if you were in my position? — CAN’T MOVE PAST IT DEAR CAN’T MOVE PAST IT: A partner who would cheat on you for that length of time has a character deficiency and will probably do it again.

If I were in your position, I’d end the relationship, finish paying for the ring and then cut my losses by selling it.

That way, all of the payments you have made won’t go down the tubes, and your credit rating will be intact.

SIOUX CITY — An 18-year-old Sioux City man has pleaded not guilty to kidnappings linked to a dispute over drug dealings.

Isaiah Mothershed entered his plea Monday in Woodbury County District Court. He’s charged with two counts of kidnapping and two counts of willful injury. Court documents say two people who went to buy marijuana from Mothershed on July 7 were bound and blindfolded by him after he accused them of helping another person steal his pot.

Colfax man pleads guilty after pulling handgun during arrest

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune

AP Photo In this photo taken June 22 Maung Htway, of Des Moines, catches a fish below the dam at Saylorville Lake near Des Moines. Unlike advisories for other health hazards that are posted on packages and billboards or even quickly read on broadcast ads, the mercury dangers in fish are not communicated directly to anglers. They appear to be largely unknown to those affected the most, the low-income people or immigrants who frequently fish in streams and lakes near urban areas to supplement their diet.

Immigrants and poor fish for their dinner, unaware of mercury

By Scott McFetridge The Associated Press DES MOINES — It’s midday and the white bucket balanced on the rocky shore at Mountha Uppasay’s feet holds five or six white bass, moving sluggishly in the water she scooped from the Des Moines River.

She and her husband, who are immigrants from Laos, have been fishing since shortly after dawn and plan to catch enough to make a tasty stew to share with their children and grandchildren. Asked about possible health issues with the fish, Uppasay flashes a surprised look and says, “They’re all safe.”

She’s right, to a point.

The bass are nutritious, but they probably contain mercury, a toxic substance especially harmful to pregnant women and children that collects in varying levels in most fish throughout the country.

Limiting consumption, particularly for those in the higher risk groups, is recommended.

Uppasay’s lack of awareness appears to be shared by many anglers who fish in rivers and lakes near urban areas, and it illustrates how

many government-issued health warnings about fish fail to reach those who most need to hear them: low-income families and immigrants, some of whom fish daily or weekly for their family meals.

Most health advisories are posted directly on packages, like tobacco and alcohol, or displayed on billboard or TV ads. Iowa, like most states, posts information on its websites, and that’s where the warnings stop.

“People are starving for information,” said Joanna Burger, an ecologist at Rutgers University who has worked in several states to help minimize the problem.

“People want the information, but they want to be given it in a way to make their own risk decisions.”

Mercury, which occurs naturally in fish, seeps into waterways everywhere, with some local hotspots scattered across the country linked to coal-burning power plants, old mines or industries.

Studies show that up to 10 percent of women of child-bearing age have mercury levels that exceed federal standards. Mercury can be devastating for the neu-

rological development of fetuses and children.

For adults, longer-term problems include vision loss and difficulty walking.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says adults can eat as much as they want of some fish, but for many species the agency recommends only a serving or two a week, less for pregnant women or children. The stricter limits are suggested for predator species like white bass — fish that eat other fish — and older, larger fish more likely to exceed 0.47 parts of mercury per million.

Environmental officials agree that immigrants and low-income people dominate many urban riverbanks and lakes where fish are likely to have higher levels.

Tong Vang, who works as a community liaison in Minnesota, said Southeast Asians in the upper Midwest are especially devoted to fishing and have an affinity for white bass, a fish similar to kinds they ate in their homeland.

Vang said he thinks many in the community have not heard the warnings or don’t take them seriously.

“Some people are stubborn,” Vang said.

COLFAX — A 23-year-old man who pulled a handgun during an arrest in downt o w n Colfax in December pleaded guilty Monday Holett morning to four of his five charges including carrying weapons and assault of a police officer.

Matthew S. Holett, of Colfax, entered the plea during a hearing in Jasper County District Court. A fifth charge, third-degree theft for possession of a stolen handgun, is still open.

Dash cam footage obtained by the Jas-

per County Tribune in January shows Holett pulling a .22 caliber pistol from his waistband during a struggle at 12:36 a.m. Dec. 13, 2014, in the 10 block of East Howard Street in downtown Colfax.

In the footage, Holett appears to try to point the weapon at the officer around his back and between his legs while being detained. Holett began yelling at police after he arrived on scene during the arrest of another man seen in the video urinating on the side of a building.

The verbal exchange prompted the confrontation.

The weapon Holett is carrying in the dash cam video is a Phoenix Arms .22 caliber automatic pistol, reported as stolen by the Knoxville Police Department in October 2014.

Police reports indicate law enforcement used a Taser to subdue Holett as he attempted to discard the weapon between the wall of his first-floor apartment and a refrigerator.

No firearms were discharged and no one was seriously injured during the incident.

Holett pleaded guilty Monday to interference with official acts, a Class D felony, carrying weapons and possession of marijuana and assault on a police officer causing bodily injury.

Holett also has an open charge of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver from an earlier arrest in June 2014. He is scheduled to be sentenced at 9:30 a.m. Sept. 28.

Sheriff’s office, feds enter sharing agreement

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A sharing agreement between the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office and the Federal government was approved by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors Tuesday. The board approved a equitable sharing agreement between the two agencies, a standard agreement.

“It’s a formality that needs to be signed with the federal government.

An agreement that if we were to work the case whether it is a forfeiture of property or money,

they would allow us to share a portion of that,” Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty said.

The sheriff ’s office has not had any property or funds shared for several years Halferty said.

“We haven’t worked any large cases with the feds for several years.”

Supervisor Joe Brock gave a brief update on the working being done at the former Jasper County Care Facility and Youth Shelter. This week, Iowa One Call has been at the location completing work and when their work is complete, the surveyors plan

to begin.

Workers began checking for asbestos on Monday at the youth shelter, with the care facility to follow.

“There has been enough time since the asbestos abatement the state requires another checkup,” Brock said.

Shive-Hattery Civil Engineer Christopher Bauer continues to move forward on the project, potentially bringing updates to the supervisors as needed.

Submitted Photos The Fancy Nancy tea parties were recently hosted by the Newton Public Library. A total of 75 girls attended one of three parties. The party’s theme came from a book character of the same name. In this photo, Karisma Schrader smiles with tea cup in hand.

Ninth Annual Free Corn Feed Aug. 8 Prairie City’s 9th annual free corn feed will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Aug. 8 on the square in Prairie City.

In addition to free sweet corn, there will be pork sandwiches, and bottled water. The Prairie City Lions will be serving watermelon. Also available will be tickets for ice cream from Goldie’s in Prairie City. There is no charge for this event.

This annual event was first organized by Marge Tynan. Tynan describes her thoughts in starting the event, “I wanted to give back to the community to bring the town people together so that they could visit and catch up with each other.

“I also wanted to give other people the chance to see the square and what Prairie City has to offer,“ Tynan said.

Iowa KidsNet to hold information session for prospective foster parents in Grinnell Newton Daily News GRINNELL — Iowa KidsNet, the statewide organization that recruits, trains, licenses and supports Iowa’s foster and adoptive families, will hold an information session in Grinnell from 6 to 8 p.m. on Aug. 6 for individuals interested in becoming foster or adoptive parents.

Foster care is the temporary placement of children with families outside of their own home due to abuse, neglect or other family crisis situations. The goal is for loving families to provide children with a safe and nurturing environment until they can be reunified with

their birth families or find permanency through other means, such as adoption. Iowa has a high need for more families to foster teens, sibling groups and children with special needs or behaviors.

As part of National Foster Care Month, this information session gives families a basic overview of the process involved in foster care and adoption and an understanding of the characteristics of children in the child welfare system.

There is no obligation to continue in the process by attending.

Iowa KidsNet encourages all Iowa residents who can provide a stable home for a child to inquire,

including single adults, married and unmarried couples, homeowners and renters. Foster families come from all sexual orientations and racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Iowa has a high need for more African-American, Latino and Native American families who can maintain and increase a youth’s connections to their cultural background.

To inquire online and see future session dates, visit www.iowakidsnet.com. Upon registering, families will receive the specific location of the session and an information packet to fill out before attending.

Kenny Wallace’s final start will be at Iowa Speedway Newton Daily News Marking the end to a 26year career in NASCAR competition, veteran driver Kenny Wallace makes his final start here Saturday in the NASCAR Xfinity Series U.S. Cellular 250 presented by New Holland at Iowa Speedway. It will be his series-record 547th career start.

The green flag drops on the U.S. Cellular 250 at 7 p.m.

Saturday at Iowa Speedway. It will be televised live on NBC Sports Network. It is the final race of the season at the Speedway.

Wallace ends his career behind the wheel of the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing on the track his older brother, Rusty, designed. Wallace finished 23rd in the May Xfinity race at Iowa and Saturday’s race will be the third start of the season for the 51-year-old.

“To me, this isn’t a sad moment; I’m at a truly happy place in my life right now,” Wallace said in a release from Rusty Wallace Incorporated.

“After all, not too many guys get to have the privilege of being a NASCAR driver, especially for as long as I have. I really wanted to end my long career on a positive note and I’m very excited about our chances in Iowa. The No. 20 team is one of the best in the sport and I’m looking forward

to having a chance to end my NASCAR career with a great finish. I really want to thank U.S. Cellular for helping me make that happen.”

Wallace has made 344 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts in addition to 13 starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. However, all nine of his national series wins have come in the Xfinity Series. In 1991, Wallace finished as the runner-up in the standings for that series. Heading into the Iowa race, Wallace has completed the most laps in Xfinity Series history with 101,673.

On the Sprint Cup side, Wallace’s best finishes were a trio of runner-up showings at Loudon (1999), Talladega (2000) and Rockingham (2001).

In addition to still competing every so often, Wallace has served as a NASCAR analyst for FOX Sports, appearing on FOX Sports 1’s “NASCAR RaceDay” and “NASCAR Victory Lane” programs. He also does a “Herman Unplugged” feature, offering his opinions on the hot topics in the sport, for NASCAR Illustrated that appears on NASCAR.com.

“Growing up as a kid and watching my Dad race in Rolla, Mo., I never dreamed that I’d have the chance to do what I’ve done in my life,” Wallace said. “I’ve had a long

and successful career and I’ve been able to support my family doing what I love. To me, it doesn’t get any better than that. I’m really proud of everything that I’ve been able to accomplish in NASCAR. “I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to turn my NASCAR driving career into another career doing something else I love — that’s working with FOX Sports on television.

Those guys have been great to me and I get a lot of happiness from being able to educate the

fans about the sport that I love.

I’m going to stay involved in the sport through TV and I’m going to stay behind the wheel in my dirt cars, too.

“You know, everyone experiences change at some point and I’m honestly looking forward to opening the next chapter in my life. As always, I promise that I’m going to have a lot of fun doing it.”

The No. 20 Xfinity Series car has seen five drivers take turns behind the wheel this season for JGR. Erik Jones has

made nine starts, while Matt Kenseth has made three, Denny Hamlin has made two and Ross Kenseth and David Ragan have each made one start in the car. Jones won at Texas, while Hamlin won at Richmond in the car for crew chief Mike Wheeler.

“Having Kenny in our car this weekend will be a neat experience for everyone on the No. 20 team. I’m happy that Kenny has so much experience at Iowa Speedway,” Wheeler said. “That should help us get acclimated to what he needs in a car.”

Wheeler said they are bringing the same car that the team got a third-place finish with in the spring race at Iowa with Erik Jones. He said they are hoping to get Wallace a finish he can be proud of in his final NASCAR race.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to drive for a proven winning team like Joe Gibbs Racing. I told Mike Wheeler and the No. 20 team that I know the pressure is on me because they’re giving me winning car,” Wallace said.

“I feel light, relaxed and ready to get going in practice on Friday. I’ll be focused on the race car; not that it’s the final race of my NASCAR career. I have nine Xfinity Series wins and it would mean a lot to get double digits and end my career with 10 wins.”

Playing softball for strong cause The 12th annual Uri Sellers Memorial Softball tournament had a good turnout Saturday during Prairie Days. The tournament raised funds for the Uri Sellers Memorial Foundation scholarships.

The Uri Sellers Memorial Scholarship was started in 1997, one year after Uri graduated from Prairie City-Monroe High School.

This is the 19th year that the memorial scholarship has been awarded, and over the years there have been a total of 25 scholarships awarded to PCM High School Seniors.

Three of the four 2015 scholarship recipients are pictured below with Caleb Sellers (red shirt), from left, Connor Warrick, Grace Telfer and Luke Pendroy. Ashlyn Breckenridge also received a scholarship.

Goodell upholds Brady’s four-game suspension

NASCAR photo Jimmie Johnson, driver of the No. 48 Kobalt Tools Chevrolet, leads Clint Bowyer, driver of the No. 15 5-Hour Energy Toyota, during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Crown Royal Presents the Jeff Kyle 400 at the Brickyard at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday in Indianapolis, Ind.

NASCAR blew it on rules package at Brickyard 400 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Run, NASCAR, don’t walk, back to the drawing board to figure out how to liven up racing. The rules package used for the Brickyard 400 was a failure no matter how the race is dissected.

The high-drag aerodynamic package was supposed to improve passing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It was clear from the first practice session for one of the most important races of the season that NASCAR did not meet its desired result.

Yet nothing was changed before Sunday’s race, which featured just 16 lead changes.

In fairness, that was one more lead change than last year’s race at the Brickyard, but it was still the second fewest since 2011. NASCAR’s statistics also showed that greenflag passes were down by 587 from last year.

When the race finally ended, the drivers were less than complimentary of the event.

Kevin Harvick called the rules package “a huge science project,” and Matt Kenseth called it “terrible.”

Even race winner Kyle Busch had issues in traffic.

“Whether you were behind a guy or behind a group of cars, you were horrible,” he said. “It was just absolutely so hard to handle in traffic. You don’t want to feel like you’re going off into the corner and you’re going to crash every time.”

Behind the scenes, teams

fumed all weekend that Gene Stefanyshyn, NASCAR’s vice president of racing development and the architect for the Indianapolis aero package, was on a family vacation and not even at Indy. The reality, though, is that his presence wouldn’t have changed the outcome.

NASCAR has struggled valiantly to create a rules package that produces dramatic racing. If there was a way to bottle what IndyCar does on ovals, NASCAR would buy it in truckloads. But the route NASCAR followed has failed, and the series is stubbornly staying the course despite the results.

Series officials listened to what the drivers wanted and used a low-downforce package at Kentucky. Maybe it was a better race, maybe it wasn’t.

But most of the drivers raved about the final product and almost every measurable statistic showed the competition was better.

Two days later, NASCAR Chairman Brian France threw cold water all over Kentucky by downplaying any noted improvement. Like his employees entrusted to fix the racing, he looked forward to Indianapolis and the package designed by NASCAR. France made it clear: He wants pack racing, he wants cars making slingshot passes and he wants excitement.

He didn’t get it Sunday.

NASCAR vice chairman

Mike Helton on Monday said series officials will take some time to digest the race and the rules package, which also is scheduled to be used Aug. 16 at Michigan.

“We can absorb all the of the science and the data we collect, including talking to the industry, the drivers, the crew members and the competition departments of the teams and the car owners,” Helton said on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “That’s part of the reason we created this specific package for Indianapolis — to see the characteristics of it, knowing that there are a lot of personalities in the garage area that have different opinions, but it’s on NASCAR to come up with the one that we put in front of the fans on each individual racetrack each weekend. So, we’ll take time.”

The Kentucky package will be used again at Darlington Raceway for the Southern 500, one of NASCAR’s crown jewel events.

If that race is indeed improved, and drivers again walk away pleased with the product, NASCAR will have to take a hard look at giving the drivers what they want on a regular basis.

Right now, the sentiment is that NASCAR picked a bad rules package for 2015 and has double-downed on figuring out a version that will work.

It didn’t work at Indianapolis, and NASCAR needs a new plan.

Blue Jays get Tulo, Royals trade for Zobrist TORONTO (AP) — It appeared the Toronto Blue Jays needed to add starting pitching to help their playoff push. Instead, they traded for a star shortstop.

Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said acquiring five-time All-Star Troy Tulowitzki from the Colorado Rockies was “the rare chance that one of the best at his position was available.”

“We’re getting the best shortstop in baseball in our minds,” Anthopoulos said.

“We’re just thrilled.”

The Blue Jays also obtained reliever LaTroy Hawkins from the Rockies for shortstop Jose Reyes and minor league righthanders Miguel Castro, Jeff Hoffman and Jesus Tinoco.

Toronto (50-50) began the night tied for second in the AL East, seven games behind the New York Yankees. The Blue Jays lead baseball with 528 runs but their starters have a 4.38 ERA, third worst in the AL. Toronto has not reached the playoffs since winning the 1993 World Series — the longest drought of any major league team.

Asked whether Tulowitzki’s offensive and defensive contributions would be enough

to end Toronto’s postseason skid without an upgrade to the rotation, Anthopoulos said he couldn’t answer until after Friday’s non-waiver trade deadline.

“You can save that one for Friday,” he said. “Hopefully, we’re not having that discussion.”

Royals land Zobrist in trade with Oakland CLEVELAND (AP) — Back in college, Ben Zobrist once kicked Ned Yost out of his apartment.

He’ll now play for Kansas City’s manager.

The Royals made another big addition for the season’s stretch run on Tuesday, acquiring the versatile Zobrist and nearly $2.6 million from the Oakland Athletics for right-hander Aaron Brooks and minor league left-hander Sean Manaea.

The 34-year-old Zobrist, an infielder and outfielder, batted .268 with six home runs and 33 RBIs in 67 games for the A’s, who are in last place in the AL West after three straight playoff seasons.

He joins a Royals team that leads the AL in wins and has an eye on winning the World Series after losing in seven games to the San Francisco

Giants last October.

All-star closer Papelbon traded to Nationals MIAMI (AP) — The Washington Nationals have a new closer, landing All-Star Jonathan Papelbon from the Philadelphia Phillies.

Papelbon is Philadelphia’s career saves leader with 123 and is 17-for-17 in save chances this season. Papelbon also is Boston’s saves leader with 219.

The 34-year-old righthander had said he wouldn’t accept a trade unless he would remain a closer, and agreed to waive his no-trade clause after getting the assurances he needed from Washington.

Drew Storen, 29-for-31 in save chances this season, shifts to primarily a setup role.

As part of the trade, Papelbon’s $13 million option for 2016 becomes a guaranteed $11 million salary. Some of that money will be deferred, Rizzo said, adding that the Nationals weren’t worried about bringing Papelbon into their clubhouse mix.

The Phillies will receive Double-A right-hander Nick Pivetta for Papelbon. The Nationals designated catcher Dan Butler for assignment.

The Phillies are a major league-worst 37-63.

NEW YORK (AP) — The commissioner pointed to concealed evidence. The team described it as a folly. And the agent added sham to the lexicon of “Deflategate.”

T h e n the players’ union said it Brady would take it all to court.

Tom Brady’s four-game suspension for his role in using underinflated footballs during the AFC championship game was upheld Tuesday by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Goodell said the New England quarterback told an assistant to destroy Brady’s cellphone on or just before March 6. Brady met with independent investigator Ted Wells on that day.

“He did so even though he was aware that the investigators had requested access to text messages and other electronic information that had been stored on that phone,” Goodell said.

“During the four months that the cellphone was in use, Brady had exchanged nearly 10,000 text messages, none of which can now be retrieved from that device.”

Calling the appeal process “a sham,” Brady’s agent, Don Yee, said Goodell “failed to ensure a fair process” in upholding the quarterback’s four-game suspension.

The Patriots used the words “folly” and “incomprehensible” in their statement, then said they “unequivocally believe in and support Tom Brady.”

Brady acknowledged in his testimony he was aware of investigators’ request for information from the cellphone before he had it de-

stroyed, the appeal decision said.

After releasing the report in May, Wells said he had told Brady and Yee he did not need to see his phone and would have accepted a list of communications.

Wells’ investigation had no subpoena power and Brady was under no legal obligation to cooperate.

The NFL had messages from Brady sent to an equipment manager’s phone, but investigators wanted to see if Brady’s phone had other messages related to footballs.

The four-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback was suspended by NFL executive Troy Vincent in May following the Wells report.

The Patriots were fined $1 million and docked a pair of draft picks. The team didn’t appeal its penalty, but Brady appealed.

The NFL Players Association said in a statement Tuesday that it would appeal in court.

“The NFL resorted to a nebulous standard of ‘general awareness’ to predicate a legally unjustified punishment,” the union said, adding, “the NFL violated the plain meaning of the collective bargaining agreement.”

Moments after announcing Goodell’s decision, the league filed action in U.S. District Court in New York against the union, saying the NFL commissioner has the right under the labor agreement to hand out such discipline “for conduct that he determines is detrimental to the integrity of, or public confidence in, the game of professional football.”

“Especially in light of the new evidence introduced at the hearing my findings and conclusions have not changed in a manner that would benefit Mr. Brady,” Goodell said.

Astrograph

Owners of pickup trucks know that their vehicle comes with an obligation to help friends transport their larger items. The Capricorn moon of responsibility highlights the emotional equivalent of a pickup truck in our personal arsenal of talents and gifts. What do you have that others need every so often?

It will be called on today.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 29). Your birthday kicks off a series of accomplishments.

Share your good fortune with others in October, and teach them what you know. Someone falls deeper and deeper in love with you at the end of the year.

The award in February comes

with more money and responsibility. Taurus and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 17, 29, 33 and 11.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You may be down on certain aspects of your physical self today. Just know that beauty is not created part by part. The beauty is in all of your parts working together.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’re quick to blame yourself for not being in a better mood, more cheerful or brighter around others. Consider that it might not be your fault. Maybe you’re reacting to a tone that

was established long before you got there.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You pride yourself in your ability to remain cool under pressure and calm in the face of adversity. But how do you react to good news and augmented fortunes? You’ll soon find out.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You are an expert at recognizing people’s defenses, especially the ones that are not so easily discerned, like the defense of being extremely friendly or tired, or the defense of being annoyingly picky.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Categories and distinctions matter. Be careful not to blur the line between your work

Call Today!! 641-792-5320

or stop by 214 1st Ave. E., Newton and personal lives, as this will prove over time to be a mistake that affects both areas of your life adversely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Your resolve is strong. You’ll stay calm when others are losing it, partly because you don’t believe in overreacting and partly because the planets favor your emotional control.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Humans are imperfect, and that’s one of the best things about them. You and a friend will be bonded in your imperfections.

Tonight, a surprise will keep a relationship from getting too comfortable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

When you’re communicat-

ing at the top of your game, you begin every interaction, whether with a stranger or with your nearest and dearest, with a greeting. Your stellar luck of the day will owe to this nicety.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’re not the most emotional or demonstrative person you know, but it will be appropriate to go in for the hug today. In fact, your hugs have healing power.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The beauty of an anonymous gift is that the one who receives it can enjoy the gift without feeling the obligation of reciprocation. Every so often, you give like this because it feeds your soul. It’s that time again.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You usually get along perfectly, but today there’s a rub instead of a groove. Consider that you may have misinterpreted the other person’s behavior, and that is the real cause of the problem (not the behavior itself).

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It’s a laid-back, casual, easygoing kind of day for the most part, but when it’s time to make an impression, don’t relax too much. The rule is that it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed.
