Iowa Speedway celebrates STEM during final 2016 race weekend

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News Brandon Van Baale of Sully catches a gray rubber ball launched by a robot doing 360 spins on the concourse Saturday at Iowa Speedway.

The 7-year-old rolls the ball back to the small machine which grasps and loads it back into an on-board launcher.

At a nearby booth, Story County-area high school students Evan Williams, Joel Neppel, Jacob Preston, Jason Park, Preston Witte, Rebekah Stammer and Rucha Kelkar control the robots movement and launcher with an HP laptop, two fighter jet-style joysticks and a retrofitted Xbox 360 controller.

Team Neutrino’s robotics concourse demonstration above Turn 1 was one of many exhibits on display before Saturday’s NASCAR XFINITY Series US Cellular 250, promoting STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — fields and initiatives.

Skiff receives mental health coalition grant

File Photo Central Iowa Community Services CEO Jody Eaton, left, listens as District Court Judge Terry Rickers speaks during the mental health community conversation held last November. Eaton called a recently announced grant from Catholic Health Initiatives to Skiff Medical Center, which provides nearly $100,000 to develop a local mental health coalition, a “great opportunity to bring additional stakeholders together.”

Catholic Health Initiatives fund totals nearly $100,000

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News One local effort to help fulfill a desperate need in Jasper County has recently acquired a shortterm funding stream.

Skiff Medical Center recent-

ly announced it has received a grant totaling about $99,000 from Catholic Health Initiatives to fund “Jasper County Collaborative: Building Access for Mental Health Services.” That’s a project designed to form a mental health coalition and to create

some objectives to help area providers collaborate more in treating mental illness in the county.

The grant is for a three-year period, with year one being dedicated to convening the coalition and producing a plan which will be implemented and refined in the second and third years.

Man arrested for first-degree theft

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A man working in Newton was recently arrested and jailed after police say he stole scrap metal from a work site and sold it to a scrap yard.

Phillip C. Champion, 43, was arrested July 21 and charged with first-degree theft after his employer noticed a discrepancy in the amount of scrap metal being turned in from a construction site located in the 900 block of North 19th Avenue East in Newton. As of Friday, he was being held at Jasper County Jail on a $10,000 cash or surety bond.

The employer, Lincoln Investors LLC, noticed a discrepancy on the amount of scrap metal that was being turned in from a demolition site. It identified Champion as a suspect and tracked 13 transactions — all for the sale of Lincoln Investors’ sale of scrap metal to M. Gervich & Sons recycling center in Marshalltown — that he made between Dec. 31, 2015

and July 18, 2016.

O n e of the transactions involved a check that had ChamChampion p i o n’s signature — a check for about $18,000. Management confronted Champion about the theft, and he admitted to it, acknowledging he needed money to support a heroin addiction.

Lincoln Investors told Newton Police there is at least one more scrap metal facility that has accepted metal delivered

by Champion, but has not released any more details.

Champion was arrested and charged with theft in the first degree, for a theft of material with a value of more than $10,000. He was taken to jail.

City making strides to provide a high quality of life in Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News More than 60 new housing units completed in Newton highlight work completed to provide a high quality of life for citizens in the community.

The city’s progress in the area of providing a high quality of life was presented to the city council during a monthly update of the 2015-2017 strategic action plan.

Providing a high quality of life is one of four essential purposes the city identified as a part of the action plan that serves as more of a detailed guide of what the city staff are working on to further the city’s goals.

“It is really exciting to see all of the great work that is happening in this area,” director of planning and zoning Erin Chambers said.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Planning and Zoning Director Erin Chambers gives an update to the city council on work accomplished in the area of providing a high quality of life to the citizens of Newton.

Finally, Chambers said the neighborhood safety rating has gone up 5.6 percent from 2014 to 2016.

“All of those things really highlight the great work that the city of Newton, city council and city staff have been doing towards making Newton a great place to live,” Chambers said.

The next essential purpose to be presented to the council is effective, efficient democratic governance in August.

A new year of updates will begin in September with the purpose of making Newton a safe community. Economic development will be presented in October.

Elite Moving Services celebrating one year

​Elite Moving Services is celebrating its first year in business and business couldn’t be better.

Owners Nick Bates and Emily Romick are still ready to make your move easy and stress-free and now have a year of experience, as well.

“Our first year had been such a great experience,” Romick said.

“We are constantly learning new ways to make each move goes as smooth and stress-free as possible.”

The business continues to offer services including loading and unloading any rental truck, packing and unpacking, personal moves and cleaning services both locally and in central Iowa. The company also assists with special moves for items such as pianos, pool tables or other heavy items.

“We still are offering the traditional residential move within Iowa, from home to home or

wherever our clients are moving in and out of,” Romick said. “We do however offer small moves too. Meaning if you need furniture from room to room or if a client is needing their baby grand piano moved down the street or to another town we are your trusted movers to call.”

Romick said since they have only been in business for a year, not a lot has changed. The duo does continue to learn and grow in the business, recently becoming members of the Newton Area Chamber of Commerce and expanding their website.

“We are very excited to be able to meet with other local business owners,” Romick said.

To better assist customers with their moves, Elite has continued to grow and add new equipment to make sure their crews are able to service every client to the fullest. It’s newest piece is a 16-foot moving truck added to their fleet.

Customers of Elite have had

nothing but positive feedback to give about their experiences.

Comments include “Nick and Emily’s team were first class. One of the hardest working teams I have seen. They also handed my belongings with care and I highly recommend them and assure you that it is the right decision” and “Very professional, they know what they are doing and had wrapped everything appropriately, gathered all items and then packed the truck very efficiently.”

“We have met some amazing people throughout this past year that has supported us and truly believe in our business,” Romick said.

For more information about Elite Moving Services contact Bates or Romick at 641-275-9412 or elitemovingservices641@hotmail.com. Elite is also available on Facebook.

Iowa employment: Bumpy road to slow growth as state numbers go up Newton Daily News IOWA CITY — Iowa nonfarm jobs showed a 5,100 increase in June, making up most of a drop in May that turned out to be much larger than earlier reported. The Iowa unemployment rate edged up to 4 percent.

The Iowa Policy Project released the following statement from Executive Director Mike Owen about the new seasonally adjusted jobs data from Iowa Workforce Development (IWD) and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“We should not get worked up about one-month results. It is hard

to celebrate a 5,100-job increase in June after a 6,100-job decrease in May — with those revised numbers for May representing a 45 percent greater job loss than what IWD reported last month. And that loss followed a 5,600 increase the month before. So the monthby-month numbers are fluctuating quite a bit.

“We need sustained job growth to fully recover from the last recession, which ended seven full years ago.

“Iowa’s monthly job change has averaged between 1,500 and 1,800 for each of the last five calendar years, and so far in 2016, we

FlanaganWood

are below even that slow pace — about 1,200 a month through the first half of the year. Over the last 12 months, that average is about 1,800. Either way, the current pace is too slow to catch up with population growth anytime soon.”

The unemployment rate comes from the U.S. Census household survey — a different measure than the nonfarm job count, which is produced by an employer survey.

In months like June, when those measures show conflicting trends, it is important to note that both are estimates, subject to revision, and both are based on different sets of data.

Iowa’s annual Sales Tax Holiday is Friday and Saturday. This annual event, in which no sales tax is charged on clothing and footwear items priced under $100, is now fairly routine, but that does not mean consumers are well-prepared, according to Barb Wollan, a human sciences specialist in family finance with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

“Making good use of the sales tax holiday means using it for important clothing purchases,” Wollan said. “When people simply go to a store and pick up items that catch their eye, they may realize when they get home that they should have purchased other more necessary items instead during the tax holiday.”

In most of Iowa, the sales tax holiday means a modest 7 percent savings on clothing and footwear.

However, retailers often plan sales for the same weekend, which can add significantly to the savings.

“Even 7 percent adds up: if you purchase 10 clothing items at a total cost of $300, you save $21 in sales tax. That $21 might purchase a couple bags of groceries, so it does have value,” Wollan said.

When extra purchases are made using credit cards, the added cost goes beyond the price of the item. Depending how quickly consumers pay off their credit card balances, according to Wollan, the interest on the clothing purchases may outweigh the money saved in sales tax.

The Sales Tax Holiday runs from 12:01 a.m. Friday through midnight Saturday at all Iowa retailers who sell clothing and footwear. The sales tax holiday applies to items priced under $100.

New Medicare Advantage Plans coming to Iowa DES MOINES (AP) — Many Medicare-eligible residents in Iowa and Illinois will have greater choice when selecting their Medicare health insurance coverage this fall.

Pending regulatory approval, HealthPartners UnityPoint Health will offer Medicare Advantage plans beginning October 15 – the start of Medicare’s open enrollment period. The plans will be available to consumers in select counties in Iowa and western Illinois.

A campaign launches today that will introduce HealthPartners UnityPoint Health to consumers and create awareness for Medicare Advantage plans. The campaign runs through Medicare’s open enrollment period — October 15 through December 7 — which is when people eligible for Medicare can review and change their plans.

“There are benefits to having health care and medical insurance all in one place. This is why we’ve brought together the trusted care of UnityPoint Health, with the proven benefit coverage of HealthPartners,” explained Troy Caraway, UnityPoint Health senior vice president of the insurance division. “And, our Medicare Advantage plans will further simplify care.”

Local & State News Skiff Continued from Page 1A $110,000 in in-kind services for the three years of the project.

“We really appreciate CHI’s investment in Skiff and our community, especially for such an important project,” said Leisa Zylstra, Skiff Foundation and Mission Manager. “This was our first year to be eligible to apply for this grant, and we know that CHI received many applications from other facilities within the health-care system, so we feel very fortunate to have been named a recipient.”

The funding covers the salary of a new part-time position for an individual to lead the coalition, as well as other necessary resources, Zylstra said.

Plans are in motion for the hiring of an individual to lead the coalition, and Skiff anticipates convening the first meeting of the coalition by early fall.

Zylstra said the purpose of the project is to create a mental health coalition in Jasper

County with a comprehensive representation of key stakeholders in the community. The coalition will work to create a coordinated, community-focused effort to analyze the mental health environment in Jasper County and to determine opportunities for improving access to care and patient outcomes.

The coalition will review and analyze current resources and services to identify the voids in service and opportunities to improve care so it can create and implement a unified action plan.

Skiff Chief Operating Officer Sonja Ranck said after participating in a mental health forum hosted by the Newton Daily News and the Newton Police Department last fall, the hospital administration felt that it would be beneficial to the community to organize a coordinated effort to address mental health needs in Jasper County.

“Through this grant, Skiff will play a pivotal role in bringing community organizations together and aligning

them with a common goal,” Ranck said. “By working together, the coalition will be able to provide a clear picture of action that is needed to enhance services.”

Skiff will partner with House of Mercy — a mission-based arm of Mercy Medical Center, for leadership on creating and leading the coalition in Jasper County. House of Mercy has a satellite location in Newton.

House of Mercy has almost 30 years of experience in providing health, wellness and human services programming to individuals and their families who are struggling with chemical dependency and mental health issues.

Catholic Health Initiatives is a national health-care system based in Englewood, Colo. that includes Skiff Medical Center and Mercy Medical Center of Des Moines. Each year, grants are awarded to projects which have the attributes related to CHI’s Mission and Ministry Fund.

Ranck said it’s largely up to members of the community to determine how and to what

level the grant will be able to help with mental illness issues in the county.

“While Skiff is the recipient of the grant funds and is organizing the effort, we know that partnership with community organizations is crucial to the success of this project,” Ranck said. “Our community works very well together and we look forward to uniting with other key organizations to provide the greatest impact to our community.”

Jody Eaton, the chief executive officer for Central Iowa Community Services, is likely to have a key role in the coalition’s efforts.

“I am very excited Skiff has been awarded funds to establish a coalition for the purpose of uniting community organizations in addressing mental health needs,” Eaton said.

“This is a great opportunity to bring additional stakeholders together. There is a need to address both public and privately funded service gaps. I look forward to collaborating on behalf of Central Iowa Community Services in this initia-

tive.”

Zylstra said Skiff wants great representation from community organizations on the coalition.

“We are in the beginning planning phases of this grant, including contacting community organizations, but we anticipate that the coalition will include the same organizations which participated in the mental health forum last fall: law enforcement, Jasper County Public Health Department, Capstone, Optimae, National Alliance on Mental Illness, CICS and Skiff and House of Mercy. This list certainly isn’t all-encompassing, as we want to partner with as many organizations as possible to have the greatest impact. We plan to convene the first meeting of the coalition by early fall.”

For more information about the project, Zylstra can be contacted by phone at 641787-3179 or by email at lzylstra@skiffmed.com.

Speedway Continued from Page 1A Team Neutrino competes in FIRST Robotics — For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. FIRST is an international mentor-based program founded in 1989 to inspire young people to pursue education and career opportunities in science and engineering.

Team Neutrino has been competing in the annual FIRST Robotics Competition for five years. The team has about 40 members all from Story County. Each year in the first week of January, FIRST releases a new game with challenges for Team Neutrino’s robot to overcome. The students have six weeks to design, build and program the robot.

This year’s competition was “FIRST Stronghold.” Each alliance — or grouping of teams from the regional qualifying event — decide on a set of obstacles to keep the opposing alliance’s robot from shooting a ball from the robot launcher into the goal.

Team Neutrino competed at the Minnesota North Star Regional Robotics Competition in 2015 and again in April.

This year, Team Neutrino lost in the semi-final round by 1 point.

The Story County high school students work with mentors from Iowa State University’s computer and mechanical engineering departments to problem solve and learn about the engineering field.

Some of the sponsors include John Deere, 3M and Monsanto. A part of 4-H, Team Neutrino has learned to sell their potential as future engineers to investors.

“A lot of our sponsors are year-to-year now, so we just have to maintain relationships with them,” Kelkar said. “But then we also apply for a lot of grants every year.”

The robot itself can cost up to $4,000 to manufacture and Team Neutrino made two.

Tuel helps provide the Team Neutrino students with mechanical knowledge and support. The students do roughly 80 percent of the computer aided drafting for the robot independently before Tuel and another engineering mentor steps in to double check the specifications. It’s as exciting for Tuel to watch the robotics’s team come together as it is for the members of Team Neutrino.

“I didn’t have anything like this in high school. That’s why I really want to help because this is just amazing to me seeing it come together,.”

“We have a practice one,” said Williams, team captain from Ballard High School. “After your six weeks are up you have to put the robot in a box and you’re not allowed to touch it any more. So we built a second robot to continue developing the attachments and fine-tuning before competition.”

Down the concourse from the robot, another skilled trade was showing off a high-tech demo.

Cleveland-based Lincoln Electric let race fans try their hand in a virtual reality welding trainer used by trade schools and community colleges nationwide.

Company representative Jeff Graham said the aim of the Iowa Speedway demonstrations was not recruitment but a fun way to expose people

to a skilled trade which is in high demand.

“It teaches people how to hold their welding torches properly without twisting or rolling their wrists and keep the proper angles as they travel down the joint,” he said. “We have it set up to do wire welding and stick welding right now.”

For more advanced techniques, Graham said their are devices on the market which can simulate pipe, overhead welding and a variety of environments.

As an entertainment medium highly dependent on skilled tradesmen and women and engineers, highlighting STEM initiatives and programs is a natural fit for Iowa Speedway and NASCAR. In a press statement, a speedway spokesperson said track officials also understand the importance of STEM to the State of Iowa.

All dressed in white I

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

t’s an interesting thing in life to know you have another person who is your exact copy. Being a twin is one of my most treasured things in the world. Trish is my best friend, confidant and the nicest person I have ever known.

It was no shock to me when she captured the heart of another amazing person, her newlywed husband, Justin.

Justin is a English teacher at Chariton High School, the school where Trish has been a mathematics teacher for seven years. They were fast friends; Justin joined the staff a year after Trish.

They were hesitant to make the next step — not wanting to make things awkward at school — but the connection was too strong and they agreed to go out on an official date — at the mov-

ies, of course. The fact that it was a Disney movie was just icing on the cake.

They have been a couple for three years and planned their special day for more than a year. Both of them looked radiant as they exchanged their vows — promising to love and be faithful to one another for the rest of their days. It was an honor to stand beside my sister as another brother was added to the family.

The ending was inevitable, but getting all gussied up for the occasion makes it so much more fun.

The bridal party had a fun time hanging out in the church while getting ready. We were there five hours before everyone showed up for pictures. One person at a time got her hair done while the others snacked and

chatted. My phone was in use, playing classic Disney tunes as all the princesses got ready.

The church was beautiful, with no extra adornments needed except the wedding party with our flowers and colors. I can’t wait to see how the photos turned out!

The ceremony was short and sweet.

The wedding party hopped on a party bus to get from the church to the reception. It was a wonderful time.

The hardest part for me was my speech. I am not a public speaker. Sure, I participated in speech in high school and made it to state competition every year. But those were other people’s words in a room where you knew only a handful of people. This speech was made of words I wrote about a person who has been important to me since before we were born.

The speech order got a little mixed up. I thought I would be going first and then the best man, Justin’s brother, Tyler. However, Tyler ended up at

the microphone first. I sat in my seat and listened to him deliver an excellent speech that was both humorous and heartfelt. A tough act to follow.

I made my way up to the mic, notes in hand ready to deliver the words I wrote months in advance. I fumbled over one line, but the rest came out as planned. I didn’t want to cry even though I wrote a rather emotional ending. I made it to the last two lines before my voice broke. I immediately hugged Trish after finishing through tears. She was crying right along with me. It was a nice moment.

The night of dancing and laughing was a blast. I enjoyed talking to friends and family I hadn’t seen in a long time.

The night could not have been better for these two crazy kids.

It will be an adjustment calling her Trish Sharp from now on, but it’s one that will get easier with time. Congrats once again to the Sharps!

Eye on America John Stossel

Clinton cash As Democrats fawn over Hillary Clinton, I’m struck by how both Clintons continue to thrive despite their remarkable record of sleazy dealings.

The just released documentary “Clinton Cash,” based on a book by Peter Schweizer, explains how they make big money by selling access to themselves.

In a conversation, Schweizer told me how the Clintons use “speaking fees” to get around bribery laws.

“If somebody gave a politician or family member money for a favor, that’s breaking the law. But if you say it’s a speaking fee, and you pay double or triple the normal rate, that seems to be legal.”

Since Bill Clinton left office, he’s earned more than $126 million giving speeches. Nothing wrong with that. Bill likes to talk, and if people want to pay big bucks to hear him or just to say they were near him, so be it. It’s their own money.

But what suggests influence peddling, says Schweizer, is that before Hillary became secretary of state, Bill’s usual fee was less than $200,000. But after Hillary became secretary of state, he made as much as $750,000 per speech.

That’s “evidence that people paying him expect to get something in return,” says Schweizer. “She becomes appointed secretary of state, a friend of the president of Nigeria suddenly offers (Bill) $700,000 apiece for two speeches. An investment firm in Moscow that’s tied to the Kremlin who had never paid for him to speak before suddenly gave him $500,000.”

Those are just two of many examples cited in “Clinton Cash.”

Sometimes the Clintons launder the money through the Clinton Foundation. It’s collected more than $2 billion to “improve global health and wellness.”

But Sean Davis of The Federalist examined Clinton Foundation records and concluded only about 15 percent of the money goes to actual charity work to help needy people.

Most is spent paying Clinton cronies and other well-connected people to schmooze with governments and charities, which supposedly helps those governments and charities help people. I doubt it helps much.

Even the earthquake in Haiti became a moneymaking opportunity for the Clintons.

After the earthquake, the Clinton Foundation announced that it would work with governments and businesses to help rebuild Haiti. Actual rebuilding has been meager.

A Clinton Foundation press release promised an industrial park that would create “up to 60,000 jobs.”

Just 7,000 jobs have been created.

What the Foundation has managed to do is help Clinton “friends.” One, Irish billionaire Denis O’Brien, runs Digicel, a company that wanted a grant to build Haiti’s cellphone network.

“Four weeks after their application,” says Schweizer, Digicel sponsored a speech for Bill Clinton in Jamaica and “paid him $225,000. Within four months of that speech, Digicel would receive the first installment of that grant money.”

Hillary Clinton’s brother, Tony Rodham, even managed to cash in. The Haitian government awarded an exclusive gold mining contract to a company called VCS mining. VCS, says Schweizer, “has no experience in mining, very little experience in Haiti, and it raises the question, of all the companies out there, why did the Haitian government pick this one company?”

The Clintons will tell you that it had nothing to do with the facts that Hillary’s brother got a job with VCS and the chairman happens to be a Democratic donor.

The worst example in “Clinton Cash,” says Schweizer, is the Ericsson telecom deal. The Swedish company Ericsson was in trouble with the State Department because it sold telecom equipment to repressive regimes.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

It doesn’t have to be ‘us’ vs. ‘them’ It’s increasingly easy to believe that our country is irreconcilably divided. But that’s not quite the America that Michael Morrill saw from his perch in Reading, Pennsylvania the weekend before the Republican convention in Cleveland.

Morrill, the executive director of Keystone Progress, was coordinating several “doorstep conventions” in Pennsylvania that weekend — not big gatherings in expensive halls, but one-on-one conversations at the homes of likely voters about the issues that concern them.

Many of these conversations were with the kind of white working-class voters that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is relying on to carry him into the White House in November. But Morrill was surprised by what he heard.

“We had planned to find a lot of Trump voters,” he said, even in the mostly Democratic enclaves of Reading, Erie, and Lancaster that are home to many of the kinds of voters Trump is targeting. “To our surprise, we found no one who was a registered Democrat who was voting for Donald Trump.”

That flies in the face of some conventional wisdom that white working-class voters in particular, devastated by the 2008 financial crash under President George W. Bush and left behind by the anemic recovery under President Obama, are united behind Trump’s willingness to blame their plight on immigrants and other marginalized groups.

Instead, organizers found, people were receptive to the idea that it

Another View Isaiah J. Poole was decades of corporate-friendly economic policies in Washington — not neighbors who don’t look like them — that had made it harder to make a living.

In the New Jersey communities of Hackensack and Teaneck, canvassers and the residents they visited traded stories about their struggles supporting their households.

As one canvasser put it, they shared the same conclusion: “It shouldn’t be this hard.” That opened the door to conversations about the family-friendly policies they should be fighting for together.

Almost 1,800 such door-todoor sessions took place in 15 states around the country, organized by People’s Action, Center for Community Change Action, MoveOn. org, and more than a dozen local organizations.

LeeAnn Hall, co-director of People’s Action, explained the initiative as an effort to get “neighbors having conversations with neighbors” about “a real economic agenda that takes power from corporations and wealthy elites and puts it back in the hands of the people.”

“We can’t solve the serious problems facing our country with more division and more hate,” she said.

In Maryland, the door knockers talked to voters about particular county and state issues, such as a Howard County voter initiative for publicly funded small-donor elections that supporters tout as a

model for statewide reform, said Larry Stafford, the director of Progressive Maryland.

In white working-class suburbs of Detroit, many of the doorstep conversations centered around race. Here, as in Pennsylvania, canvassers were surprised by what they discovered.

“We didn’t expect those conversations to be easy,” said Batosz Kumor, a Polish immigrant who works with a group called Michigan United. But he said he believed the conversations were necessary because “one of the major impediments to deep transformation in the American economy and politically is that we’ve been running away from conversations about race.”

Even though he encountered views about race that were at odds with his own view of how structural racism permeates American society, he said he was surprised by how constructive some of his encounters were.

Doorstep convention organizers are now comparing notes from the people they met and planning more door-knocking campaigns.

But one lesson is already clear: The antidote to the overheated politics of us-against-them — especially when “us” and “them” are both prey to exploitation and deprivation by corporate predators — is getting people to talk to each other about a progressive agenda that unites and lifts up people based on the struggles and hopes they share.

Couple’s long-ago ties can be bound up again DEAR ABBY: Forty-five years ago I had a mistress. My wife knew about her. Both of our spouses have now passed. I have found her address on the internet, and I’m debating if I should contact her. What do you think? — UNSURE IN IOWA DEAR UNSURE: Because you are both now unencumbered, I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t. Clearly, you have things in common and a lot of shared history.

DEAR ABBY: We are well into school’s summer vacation, filled with days by the pool, trips to the zoo, and plenty of time for kids to goof off around the house. This extended leisure time for the kiddos may be a good time to remind parents to be thoughtful about what they post on social media.

Some basics: When your child accidentally dumps all the sunscreen from your beach bag onto the car floor, you do not have to post a picture of a regretful, crying toddler to prove that “he really did it this time!” When your child falls off her bike and gets a great big scrape on her forearm, you do not have to post a picture of the scrape for the world to see. When your child is running through the backyard sprinkler without clothes on, you do not have to post a picture to let us know.

Abby, please encourage your readers to have a memorable, safe and exciting summer — but to keep those photos to themselves. — COMMON SENSE, PLEASE DEAR C.S.P.: You obviously don’t want the children put at risk or shamed. Some people feel a compulsion to record everything a kid does for the world to see because their child is so special and unique. Unfortunately, we seem to have reached a point in our culture that nothing is private anymore. I’ll print your suggestion to parents, but while I applaud your wanting to protect their children, it’s their job.

If the photos bother you, ignore them and keep scrolling.

DEAR ABBY: We are a family of six children. Our elderly mother lives with each of us three to 10 months at a time. Out of the six of us, only one is a homemaker who has the room and ideal setting for her to live comfortably.

However, she refuses to have Mom permanently.

The rest of us have jobs that don’t allow us to be with her during the day.

Yet we all agreed that putting Mom in a nursing home would be out of the question.

If I didn’t have to work, I’d take care of her permanently myself. I admit that she can be difficult to live with. She can cut you down, insist you do all kinds of errands and is suspicious about someone taking her money. I don’t know what to do. — ONE OF SIX IN OHIO DEAR ONE OF SIX: Has your mother always been this way? If so, then perhaps it’s time for another family meeting. To expect one sister to shoulder the entire burden of taking in a demanding, suspicious parent is unfair to her.

If there have been changes in your mother’s personality, consider having her be neurologically evaluated to see if there is something wrong with her. A geriatric psychiatrist could give you some helpful input regardless of whether she’s ill — and help you all decide upon a workable, permanent living situation for her.

Tires worth $16,500 stolen from Mason City business

MASON CITY — Mason City Police are investigating the theft of more than 150 tires worth $16,500, and the incident may be linked to other cases in the region.

The tires were taken from Mason City Tire Services on July 20. Mason City Police Capt. Mike McKelvey says investigators believe the thieves stole a Penske rental truck the same night, and then used the truck to haul the tires. McKelvey says several similar thefts have been reported in nearby states, so the Mason City theft is likely related to those other incidents.

Human remains found in western Iowa may be from pioneers COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — The human remains found last week at a Council Bluffs construction site may offer clues about the Mormon pioneers who crossed the region in the 1800s.

Sister Terry Latey is a research librarian with an Omaha chapter of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. She says the area where human remains were found was likely part of the Mormon Trail that hundreds of pioneers followed west to Salt Lake City.

The bones discovered Thursday and Friday will be examined at the University of Iowa to determine their age and other details,. The bones are believed to be more than 100 years old.

Pottawattamie County Medical Examiner Karen Foreman said the bones are from several different individuals, who were most likely of European descent.

Latey, who is a research librarian at the Mormon Trail Center at Historic Winter Quarters, said hundreds of Mormon pioneers passed through the area in 1846 on their way from Illinois to Salt Lake City, she said.

“The first group of Mormons who came through Iowa had a rough time,” she said. “They left Illinois in February during a very cold winter.

To get across Iowa took them four months and many died. It’s not uncommon to find a gravesite every few miles on the Mormon Trail, and, unfortunately, oftentimes families had to bury more than one person at a time.”

Latey also said the remains could be from Fort Croghan, which operated nearby in 1842-43.

Council Bluffs Police Capt. Todd Weddum says the department isn’t investigating because the age of the bones means they couldn’t be linked to any missing persons cases.

Flour recall prompts new warning: Don’t eat dough or batter

By David Pitt The Associated Press DES MOINES — The most basic of baking ingredients, flour, is at the center of a complicated question: How did it become contaminated with bacteria normally found in animal feces?

The E. coli-tainted flour from General Mills has sickened 46 people in 21 states and prompted about 45 million pounds of it to be recalled. And, the Food and Drug Administration is cautioning raw cookie dough and cake batter aficionados not to indulge.

Here’s what federal officials know: How foul is the flour?

FDA testing determined that raw dough eaten or handled by people who became ill was made using flour was produced between November 2015 and February 2016 at the General Mills facility in Kansas City, Missouri.

Officials found two different strains of E. coli bacteria that produce a toxin that can make people sick. In the past several years, the CDC has investigated several multi-state outbreaks of these E. coli strains linked to sources such as sprouts, but never raw flour.

How did the e. coli get into the flour supply?

The CDC and FDA don’t know, though are investigating.

The bacteria lives in animal intestines and is most commonly spread through contamination from feces.

Flour is refined from wheat grown in open fields and it

AP Photo In this undated file photo, cookie dough clings to the beaters of a standing mixer. Illnesses in 21 states traced to flour have left health officials puzzled about how the most basic baking ingredient became contaminated with bacteria normally found in animal feces. The Food and Drug Administration is cautioning consumers to never taste cookie dough or cake batter before it’s cooked and clean up thoroughly after baking with flour.

is considered a raw agricultural product with no treatment process designed to kill contaminants like bacteria before it reaches consumers. As a result, there’s potential for contamination between the field and the packaging, CDC epidemiologist Dr. Karen Neil said.

What types of illnesses are reported and where?

These strains of E. coli bacteria can cause diarrhea and abdominal cramps.

Most people get better within a week, but some become seriously ill and develop potentially fatal kidney failure. Thirteen people have been hospitalized and one has kidney failure, the CDC said.

Minnesota, where General Mills is based, has had the most illnesses with five.

Colorado, Illinois, Michigan each reported four.

Which products are affected?

The recall is a small fraction of the 2.5 billion pounds of flour General Mills produces in a year.

Batches of unbleached, all-purpose, and self-rising flour varieties from General Mills, Gold Medal, Wondra and Signature Kitchens flour brands are included.

A few cake mixes, a biscuit mix and a pancake mix containing General Mills flour also were recalled.

All recalled products can be found here: http://bit. ly/2arKNqx .

What does General Mills say?

In an emailed response to The Associated Press, the company said its officials do not believe the Kansas City plant is the source of the bacteria but they “have elevated cleaning protocols” out of caution.

“Only a small sub-set

of flour produced at the Kansas City plant has been traced back to individuals who have become ill. To date, E. coli has not been found in testing of the manufacturing facility,” the company said.

Is this the first time flour has been the source of food-borne illness?

Raw flour, yes.

In 2009, an E. coli outbreak that sickened 72 people in 30 states was traced to prepackaged Nestle Toll House cookie dough that consumers reported eating raw. Neil said the likely culprit was the flour in the dough.

Nestle now uses heat-treated flour, and commercial cookie dough used in ice cream and other ready-to-eat products also is treated. General Mills said it can’t heat-treat flour because it would affect the rising properties and other baking performance.

Larry & Diana Ambroson Walnuts May Lower Cholesterol In a recent study, 245 overweight women were assigned to one of three diets; lower fat/higher carb; higher fat/lower carb; or higher fat/lower carb with the addition of one and a half ounces of walnuts a day. They also limited saturated fats, chose healthy carbs and exercised for one hour per day. All three groups lost about 15 lbs. in six months. However, the walnut group had the most beneficial changes in blood cholesterol which included a reduction in LDL (bad) cholesterol and a slight increase in HDL (good) cholesterol. Walnuts are rich in alpha-linolenic acid, a heart-healthy omega 3 fatty acid.

Jones wins Xfinity Series U.S. Cellular 250

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Going into the final weekend of racing at Iowa Speedway for 2016, there were plenty of story lines to follow for the NASCAR Xfinity Series U.S. Cellular 250.

Could part-time driver Sam Hornish Jr. pull off a sweep of Xfinity Series races at Iowa in 2016 for two different teams? Would Ty Dillon break a Xfinity Series winning drought dating back to July 24, 2014? What about the run for the Chase?

Points leader Daniel Suarez, Elliott Sadler and Erik Jones all had wins this season to lock down spots in the Xfinity Series Chase. Jones had two wins going into Saturday’s U.S. Cellular 250 but had not won since losing his father to cancer in June.

Jones’ story won out. The Xfinity Series rookie had to do some hard charging late in the race to dash Dillon’s bid to break through to Victory Lane. Jones, who has two NASCAR Camping World Truck Series wins at Iowa Speedway, celebrated his third series win of the season.

“A great night for us. It’s really cool to get back to Victory Lane and to do it at Iowa, which is one of my absolute favorite places to come during the year,” Jones said after driving the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 20 DeWalt Toyota to victory.

Jones said this win was for his late father, Dave Jones.

“It’s special for me to get back into Victory Lane without him. I know he was riding along with us, and it’s hard not to think that this one was for him,” Jones said. “I know he’s definitely smiling down on us.”

Jones had three other Xfinity starts at Iowa. He drove in both races in 2015 as he competed in limited schedule. In his first full season in the series, he won the pole spot at Iowa Speedway in June, but had to start the race from the rear because of unapproved body modifications. Jones finished 27th in June after he went to the garage for a fuel cell repair.

Young Gilliland gets assist from Dad in K&N Series victory

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News NASCAR K&N Pro Series driver Todd Gilliland drove to victory lane in the Casey’s General Stores 150 at Iowa Speedway on Friday night. Gilliland, a NASCAR Next driver, led 116 of the total 150 laps.

Todd Gilliland had the car to get to victory lane Friday night in the NASCAR K&N Series East-West combination race at Iowa Speedway.

But until his father David Gilliland helped him with his approach on restarts, Gilliland may not have had what it took to win.

Fortunately, the youngest Gilliland listened to dad, and the assist helped Todd Gilliland overtake Kyle Benjamin on a restart on lap 87, and the teenager did the rest.

Gilliland led the final 63 laps and 116 laps in all as he cruised to the victory in the Casey’s General Stores 150.

“The restarts were pretty big tonight. I didn’t do the best on the first couple of restarts, then my dad, on the radio, told me to be more patient,” Todd Gilliland said.

“That definitely helped, and it eventually got us back up front.”

David Gilliland is a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver who recently lost his fulltime ride. He was his son’s spotter on top of the roof Friday night, and his assistance helped push Todd Gilliland to a fourth win this season.

It also sent his son into the points lead in the NASCAR K&N Series’ West standings.

Gilliland was racing at Iowa Speedway for the first time, too.

“It’s always easier to do well at a new track when you have a car that’s good right off the trailer,” Gilliland said. “That’s what helped me the most tonight.”

Gilliland (336) overtook

Ryan Partridge (333) by three points at the top of the West standings. It was the seventh top-five finish for Gilliland this season. Partridge secured his sixth top-five result after placing fifth.

Benjamin took second overall and earned first-place points in the East series. East driver Austin Theriault finished third, while East driver Collin Cabre took fourth.

Benjamin (383) closed his gap from East leader Justin Haley. Haley (415) started sixth and finished seventh but remains on the top of the East standings by 32 points. Theriault started third, finished third and is third in the East standings.

Spencer Davis and Hunter Baize moved up to fourth and fifth, respectively, in the East standings. Davis finished 15th on Friday, while Baize crossed in eighth.

Noah Gragson is competing full-time in both the East and West this year. He had to declare a series for Friday’s combination race, so he only received points for his West championship run.

Gragson entered the weekend in the top five in both circuits, but he fell out of the top five in the East. He is currently third in the West after starting 22nd and finishing 13th on Friday.

Chris Eggleston and Gracin Raz are fourth and fifth in the West standings, respectively. Eggleston had a tough day, starting 14th and finishing 25th. Raz finished ninth after starting 17th.

Jimmy Walker wins a marathon at the PGA Championship

Troy Hyde/Daily News Teenagers Todd Gilliland (16) and Kyle Benjamin (40) lead the NASCAR K&N Pro Series field around turn 1 during early laps of the Casey’s General Stores 150 at Iowa Speedway on Friday night. Gilliland and Benjamin started up front and finished first and second, respectively.

K&N

Continued from Page 1B Benjamin led the first 26 laps and had a great one-on-one battle with Gilliland most of the way. But once Gilliland made the final pass on lap 87, he pulled away for the easy win.

“Me and the 40 (Kyle Benjamin) had pretty good battles there,” Gilliland said. “It was great racing with him and everyone there. We got away a little bit, before halfway, but we knew we still needed to make adjustments. We make good ones at the halfway break, and I think it showed at the end.”

Benjamin dealt with a flat tire during the mandatory competition caution on lap 75. His No. 40 Ranier Racing Chevrolet team was forced to loosen up the car, but the adjustment wasn’t enough.

“He was tough to beat,” Benjamin said of Gilliland. “He got

around us on top. I was tight behind him and couldn’t get the speed at the top that he had. He got away from us.

“I had a flat tire on the halfway break. We had to loosen it up at that point, but we didn’t want to. We had to because of the flat tire. That hurt our chances. We just weren’t loose enough at the end.”

Gilliland, a NASCAR Next driver, was the leader when the drivers pitted during the competition caution at the halfway point.

Benjamin was second followed by Cabre, Riley Herbst and Theriault.

Herbst, who is now sitting eighth in the West standings, worked his way up to second before a caution at lap 92, but ended up sixth at the end of the race.

Herbst stayed in the second position until around lap 110.

Theriault and Partridge rallied for top-five finishes after driving in the sixth and eighth positions

with 40 laps to go.

Partridge was still in the seventh position with 20 laps remaining.

West driver Jesse Little started fourth and got up to third at one point. He fell off toward the end of the race and finished in 11th.

Gilliland’s win was the third straight victory at Iowa Speedway for a K&N Pro Series driver in a NAPA Auto Parts car. Brandon McReynolds, who represented the West Series in 2015, drove to victory lane twice last year in a similar looking car.

“It’s always good to come out here and get a win for the West coast,” Gilliland said. “I have raced in some of the East races but coming out here and racing these guys is always a good thing. We are all trying to gain respect.”

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. (AP) — Jimmy Walker did everything required of a major champion on the longest final day in 64 years at a PGA Championship.

Jason Day made him do a little bit more.

Walker was standing over an 8-foot birdie putt on the par-5 17th hole Sunday when he heard a roar that caused him to twice back off the putt. It was Day, the defending champion and world’s No. 1 player, down to his last chance and delivering with a 2-iron that landed in front of the pin and stopped 15 feet away for eagle.

Walker answered, like he had done all day, with a birdie for a three-shot lead.

Moments later, another roar.

Day made the eagle putt, and the lead was down to one.

“There was nothing easy about the day — really about the week, for that matter,” Walker said. “Especially coming down the last hole.”

He went for the 18th green knowing it was his easiest chance for the par he needed to win.

The outcome was still in doubt until Walker missed the green to the right, pitched out of deep rough to 35 feet and rolled his first putt about 3 feet past the cup.

Walker calmly made it to capture the PGA Championship, ending a long and wet week at Baltusrol, and still having just enough strength left to hoist the 37-pound Wanamaker Trophy.

“He really put it on me to make a par,” Walker said. “Sometimes pars are hard. But we got it.”

That par gave him a 3-under 67 and a oneshot victory and made the 37-year-old from Texas a major champion.

Even with the silver trophy at his side, Walker still had a hard time letting that sink in.

Because of rain, the 36-hole final was the longest in PGA Championship history since Jim Turnesa won his 36-hole match in 1952.

Walker at least had time to rest in his travel bus — he’s a frequent neighbor of Day on the PGA

Tour — and get right back out into the final round. Walker, who shot a 68 in the morning for a one-shot lead over Day, didn’t make a bogey over the last 28 holes.

Day, trying to join Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners of the PGA Championship in stroke play, came out to the 18th green with his son to watch the finish and quickly found Walker. “Great stuff, mate,” he said.

“It was nice to get the eagle, just to try and make Jimmy think about it,” Day said after a 67.

“But obviously, Jimmy just played too good all day.”

In a most peculiar final day at a major, the PGA Championship allowed for preferred lies — that never happens in a major — because of nearly 4 inches of rain during the week that drenched the Lower Course.

Desperate to beat the clock and avoid a second straight Monday finish at Baltusrol, the pairings stayed the same for the final round.

Walker and Day were playing with occasional mud on their golf balls on the back nine of the third round Sunday morning as some players behind them were able to lift, clean and place their golf balls in short grass in the fourth round.

But it ended on a happy note for Walker. He is a major champion, completing a sweep of first-time winners in the majors this year.

Better yet: It moved him from No. 29 to No. 4 in the Ryder Cup standings, all but assuring him a spot on the team.

He finished at 14-under 266, one shot from David Toms’ record score in the 2001 PGA Championship.

Walker began the back nine by holing a 45foot bunker shot on No. 10 and making a 30-foot birdie putt on No. 11.

The final birdie on the 17th was the most important because he had a cushion. And thanks to Day, he needed it.

“Two-putting from that is pretty difficult, especially trying to go for your first major,” Day said. “But he’s handled himself pretty good.”

Beer sales at Iowa college football games being discussed DES MOINES (AP) — A debate is brewing over expanding beer sales at Iowa college football games.

A key state lawmaker is proposing a legislative review, while Gov. Terry Branstad and some other policy makers want to let state university officials and the Iowa Board of Regents control the bar taps.

Most areas inside Iowa’s university football stadiums are now officially alcohol-free zones, and many politicians and educators are reluctant to start urging young and old fans to hoist foamy, ice-cold beers in college sports venues.

But they also face a reality of ever-rising athletic department budgets that constantly demand more money.

Democratic State Sen. Brian Schoenjahn, who chairs the Senate’s higher education budget subcommittee, told The Des Moines Register the

Legislature should “absolutely” study the issue before any decisions are made whether to expand beer sales at Iowa’s three state universities’ sporting events.

“I am thinking that this might be an interesting revenue source, but until we have a chance as a Legislature to sit down and really have a discussion on the pros and cons of this, I would err on the side of caution,” Schoenjahn said. “The university games are there for the students, and if the students are under 21 it just leaves more opportunities for problems. We also have people driving to these events.”

Democratic State Rep. Mary Mascher wants to leave the decision making to university administrators and the regents. But she is against the idea of expanding beer sales at Iowa college sporting events.

Mascher said anyone who walks outside Kinnick Stadium on an Iowa Hawkeye football game day can see plenty of beer is being consumed even before fans start watching the game.

“We already have a problem with a number of students coming to games drunk, causing problems and getting arrested, and we don’t need more of that,” Mascher added.

“We are trying to do a better job teaching students how to be responsible, to stop the binge drinking and to explain the issues that revolve around that like campus assaults.”

University of Northern Iowa football coach Mark Farley has signaled he would support beer sales at the UNIDome to generate additional revenue for sports programs, saying “You have to pay the bills.”

But UNI Athletic Director

David Harris said he is not looking at “widespread beer sales” at this “particular time.”

Iowa and Iowa State already offer alcoholic beverages in suites or premium seating areas — similar to Northern Iowa — and neither plans any changes.

The University of Texas added alcoholic beverages to its concessions last year, and Ohio State University announced in June it will make beer available stadium-wide this football season.

The latest data from IMG, a sports marketing and licensing firm, shows at least 35 schools nationwide now sell alcohol to fans and pressure is growing to permit stadium-wide beer sales as many fans sit at home with six-packs and watch games on big-screen televisions.

Although the Legislature debates bills every year re-

garding alcoholic beverage regulation, Branstad, a Republican, and several other lawmakers want the final determination on state universities’ beer sales to be made outside of the Capitol.

“Gov. Branstad believes this to be a decision of the universities and the Board of Regents, but he would hope the regents express caution when deciding whether or not to allow alcohol to be sold at collegiate events,” said Branstad spokesman Ben Hammes.

Democratic State Sen. Jeff Danielson agrees with Branstad, saying lawmakers should leave policy making on stadium beer sales to university administrators.

“I do not think this issue needs a state law. There is enough micro-managing going on at the state Capitol.

We don’t need any more of it,” Danielson said.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Bumper-to-bumper driving as Drew Herring (28) and Josh Berry (88) dive to the bottom of Iowa Speedway’s track going into Turn 3 during the early stages of Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series U.S. Cellular 250. Berry finished ninth and Herring ran 12th in the final race of the 2016 season at Iowa Speedway.

Xfinity Continued from Page 1B On this July night, he bolted to the lead off the green flag and led the first 42 laps. Jones would lead 154 laps of the 250-lap race. Dillon, who finished second in the Richard Childress Racing No. 3 Chevrolet, led 83 laps.

“We had a great car — one that definitely deserved to win the race,” Jones said. “The fastest car I feel like won tonight, which is always a good feeling.

It was an awesome day for us.

“I feel like we deserved to win when we came here earlier this year; we had a really fast car. It was nice to get some redemption for that one.”

Jones went to the lead on the first lap, driving away from Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Suarez, who had won the pole position for Saturday’s race. Jones was dominating on the Newton track then four of the six cautions in the race happened in a span of 41 laps in the middle of the race.

Jones was able to regain the lead on the first three of that series of restarts. On Lap 150, Brandon McReynolds’ No. 24 hit the outside wall on Turn 1 bringing out what would be final caution of the race.

All the cars headed to pit road.

It was Dillon coming out of the pit stop in the lead with Sadler in second, Jones in third and Hornish in fourth. Dillon roared to the front of the field on the restart and stayed there until Jones finally tracked him down with 15 laps to go in the 250-lap race.

“I’m proud of my guys. My pit crew was awesome,” Dillon said. “They gave me the opportunity to have the shot at the win. I want to win. It’s going to happen if we keep running like this.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Coming down the backstretch at Iowa Speedway side-by-side are Spencer Boyd, left, and Ty Dillon (3) in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series U.S. Cellular 250. Boyd made his series debut finish 29th Saturday. Dillon was trying to break back into winning in the series, but settled for second place at Iowa Speedway for the second time in 2016.

Dillon said he was driving so hard to keep Jones behind him. He said when the leaders encountered lap traffic he thought he had the advantage on Jones.

“I knew I was going to have to work him over in traffic some how. He (Dillon) got caught up with a lap car. I got a good run off Turn 4 and got inside of him,” Jones said of his battle with Dillon. “Once I got by him it was clear sailing.”

Suarez sustained damage to his No. 18 ARRIS Toyota on the final restart when he got into the back of Josh Berry’s No. 88. Suarez stayed out for a few laps then went to pit road and his night was done.

He finished 30th, 76 laps down, which cost him his Xfinity Series lead.

Sadler, Brennan Poole and Dakoda Armstrong finished third, fourth and fifth. Sadler led nine laps in the race. With his third-place finish, Sadler went

William Byron sets rookie record with his fifth NCWTS victory LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Just 18, William Byron already has a slice of NASCAR history.

Byron, the promising young driver for Kyle Busch Motorsports, continued his dominance in the NASCAR Truck Series and won Saturday at Pocono Raceway for a rookie-record fifth time this season.

“These things don’t come easy at all,” Byron said. “It’s a good thing when you get one.”

One? Try five.

Byron added the Pocono victory to wins at Kansas, Texas, Iowa and Kentucky.

He surpassed Kurt Busch, the 2004 Sprint Cup champion, who had four wins as a rookie in 2000.

Byron survived a race that saw nearly half of its 60 laps run under caution. Cameron Hayley was second, followed

by Brett Moffitt, Timothy Peters and Cole Custer.

“The No. 9 is really so fast,” Hayley said. “We have to go back and look at things. He’s definitely a step above us.”

At least Hayley was running up front at the end of the wreck-marred race. There were a whopping nine cautions — that kind of number not even usually found in the Sprint Cup race at Pocono —

that allowed Christopher Bell to finish 10th, though he was five laps down at one point.

The race never ran more than eight laps without a caution.

Even with the slower pace, no driver could catch Byron.

“He’s got so many wins, I don’t know why he just didn’t pull over and let me go,” Hayley said, smiling. “Those Joe Gibbs motors must have some good fuel economy.”

Byron led a race-high 44 laps and added one more win in the No. 9 Toyota for team owner and 2015 Cup champi-

on Kyle Busch. Byron, a recent high school graduate, also has seven top-10 finishes.

“We just show up with so much focus that we never get off track,” he said.

Byron leads the points standings and is locked into the Truck version of the Chase. He expected to become a championship contender in his rookie season.

How high can his win total go?

“I don’t look at a number,” he said. “If we continue to build like this, who knows what the bar is for our team.”

Rain postpones Sprint Cup race to Monday LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Pocono CEO Brandon Igdalsky took refuge from the rain inside a garage stall that was being used as the site of the drivers meeting.

His message Sunday morning to Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and the rest of the field: “I love you guys. But I don’t want to see you tomorrow.”

Well, tough luck.

Call it, Pocono Rainway.

Rain washed out the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway and the 400-mile race will now run at 11 a.m. Monday. Martin Truex Jr. is on the pole and Kurt Busch tries to sweep Pocono in the track’s second Monday race of the season.

to the top of the driver points list, 14 points ahead of Suarez, and Dillon is third in points and Jones is fourth.

Iowa native Joey Gase, who is from Cedar Rapids, finished 24th. Hornish finished sixth and Brad Keselowski, the only Sprint Cup regular to make the trip from Pocono Raceway, was eighth.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series returns to action Saturday at Watkins Glen International for the running of the Zippo 200 at The Glen.

In 2017, Xfinity Series drivers will be back twice to Iowa Speedway — June 24 for a night race and July 29 for an afternoon start.

Astrograph

The degree of anxiety around the topic of first impressions is not unfounded. People decide extremely quickly what they think of one another and are likely to stick with the initial decision, especially during this this setup to tomorrow’s new moon. The choice to go in friendly-like, agreeable, assertive and kind will work overwhelmingly in your favor.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 1). You’ll be a part of something beautiful, fascinating and perhaps a bit dangerous if only for its consuming aspects.

Therefore, your challenge will be to find balance in your life.

Family will help with this,

and so will the fun you have over the next few months.

Save those financial perks of November. Pisces and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 42, 15, 36 and 4.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You can and will make the relationship with or without the other person’s involvement.

Your efforts will stimulate the recovery, regeneration and renewal necessary to make it all better.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The one who knocks himself out to get the details right will automatically rise up the ranks on your “favorite people” list.

You’ll make similar efforts because it gives you immense pleasure to get things just right.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Steer clear of those who are too literal to laugh, too specific to get your general drift, too mannered to have any fun.

These types will dull your creative edge. Seek the company of the wild at heart.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The reason your heart is so full is that you intuitively know what choice will enable you to be the most loving, happy and thereby the most generous with others. Continue to trust yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Listen to the parental-toned voice

inside your head. It’s a buzzkill, but it’s speaking up for a reason. It will tell you to leave before you want to. It will tell you to stop eating before you’re full. It will save you from trouble and belly ache.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You may misunderstand the works of another; your work may not be something they can grasp. This is precisely what will make you such a valuable pair today. There are lessons in your differences.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

The event is on the horizon. If you don’t make a gesture, who will? Now is the time to start thinking about how you’re going to toast someone. Your

group needs a morale boost, and this will be it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The qualities that will help you do your job today are focus and enthusiasm. Ward against any distraction that will diffuse your focus or any influence that will dampen your high energy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). An important relationship or endeavor has become like a train that’s jumped the tracks.

There is no going forward until you have the conversation that will put you back on the rails.
