CVB continuing on with or without city support

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau will remain a marketing entity in the community board chair Margie Criswell announced to the city council on Monday. Criswell addressed the council at the beginning of the meeting, laying out a tentative plan for the organization.

“The CVB is not going to dissolve or transition as proposed earlier by city council,” Criswell said. “We will fulfill our obligations as per our articles of incorporation and mission.

We will continue to market the properties and attractions in Newton for the foreseeable future.”

The statements from the CVB board came following the council decision at a recent meeting to move away from the organization and forward with plans to establish a new city board and seek to create a new city staff position to guide and provide expertise to the broad community marketing effort.

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Heavy equipment was left charred on Monday morning at three construction sites along the Bakken pipeline route in Jasper and Mahaska counties after suspected arson over the weekend. The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office and Newton Fire Marshal are investigating fires at sites west of Newton and southeast of Reasnor. Mahaska County law enforcement is looking into a similar fire at a site north of Oskaloosa.

Arson investigation underway on three Bakken pipeline sites Nearly $1 million in equipment damaged in Jasper County fires

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau Board Chair Margie Criswell speaks to the Newton City Council about the organization’s plans to continue its work marketing the community, even without the city’s support.

Equipment fires at three construction sites in Jasper and Mahaska counties on the Dakota Access Pipeline construction route over the weekend are being treated as acts of arson by local law enforcement.

The Newton Fire Department and Jasper County Sheriff ’s deputies responded to the fire at approximately 6 a.m. Monday in a farm field on South 12th Avenue West, about 4.5 miles west of Newton. A local resident called 911 to report the blaze.

According to Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty, two machines were damaged at the Newton site — one was smoldering and the other was still ablaze when

firefighters and deputies arrived on scene. The damaged pieces of equipment were identified as a bulldozer and a track hoe.

Deputies in Jasper County are also investigating a second fire on Salmon Street about 2.5 miles southeast of Reasnor.

The Newton Daily News confirmed a third report of suspected arson in Mahaska County over the weekend involving equipment on the DAPL route about 8.5 miles north of Oskaloosa.

“We believe it’s an obvious, intentionally set fire. It wasn’t like the equipment overheated,” Halferty said at the scene near Newton.

As of Monday morning, investigators did not have any suspects in the case. Halferty said the fires could have been set by a single person, but law enforcement is not

ruling out the possibility of multiple suspects.

Construction began on the crude oil pipeline in Jasper County last week. Halferty said the fires are the first local reports of vandalism related to the project.

According to investigators, the combined estimated damage at the Newton and Reasnor construction sites is approximately $1 million.

Damage was located in the bulldozer and track hoes’ engine and cab compartments. Halferty said the machinery is likely a total loss.

The equipment is owned by Huston-based subcontractor Pe Ben U.S.A. and Precision Pipeline of Eau Claire, Wis. is running the Jasper County job sites.

A representative from Precision Pipeline declined to comment Monday, but work site superintendents told the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Department the fires would set construction back about one day.

Grinnell program a lifesaver, Loebsack sees former prisoner says occupied, vacant buildings on tour

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

When Mike Cosby went to state prison for the second time, he wasn’t necessarily looking for a moment that would turn his life around.

However, an essay he submitted as part of his application to the Grinnell College Liberal Arts in Prisons Program at the Newton Correctional Facility turned out to be the start of a way to better way of looking at himself and the world — and a better way of life.

“I only put in the essay because that was 45 minutes to be out of my cell,” Cosby said. “Somehow, my essay was one of the 14 picked, and we were the pilot group for a new program. Little did I know this would be the start of my armor coming off — and I

went from being ‘I hope no one talks to me’ to being kind of outgoing and a halfway decent public speaker.”

Cosby says Grinnell’s LAPP program gave Cosby him skills, helped form his identity and change his thinking in a way that allowed him to continue to develop after he was released from prison on July 23, 2012. Now a union employee and a foreman at Proctor & Gamble, Cosby said he’s called upon to speak regularly on behalf of a program that teaches self-discipline and communication skills through writing and taking classes in a Newton Correctional Facility library.

“It wasn’t a big-budget prison education program,” Cosby said.

“All there was were books, and pens and notebooks, and once the instructor found out the pens were like a commodity for inmates, that was the end of those, and we learned to type on computer keyboards.”

Cosby says there were 14 people in the “pilot” version of the program in 2009. George Drake, a professor emeritus at Grinnell College, had a great deal to do with the start of the program, and tried to fire up the first group.

“He told us that since we were a pilot program, if it didn’t go well, that would be it, and the guys after us wouldn’t have it available to them,” Cosby said. “But 11 of us finished the program, and it kept going through the winter.”

On his third visit to Newton in less than a five-week span, U.S. Congressman Dave Loebsack saw the city in a way not many visitors experience it.

Loebsack took a casual tour of downtown Newton businesses on Monday, observing everything from vacant storefronts or buildings to learn more about Jasper County’s overall economic picture.

Newton Main Street Director Graham Sullivan guided the tour.

Starting and ending at the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce, Loebsack, Sullivan and Loebsack’s district representative, Bri Dennison, toured several buildings and businesses located on or near the courthouse square.

Loebsack didn’t stay long at any one business, as his schedule called for him to later take a tour of Key Co-Op facilities in the Sully area later Monday afternoon.

The tour covered some of the area’s newest, most recently placed LOEBSACK | 3A

83 percent of Iowa crop in good or excellent condition

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Gov. Terry Branstad came the Newton plant of REG in May, accompanied by REG Vice President of Manufacturing Brad Albin behind him, to sign a biofuel tax credit extension into law. A new study shows the biodiesel industry supports nearly 48,000 jobs.

Study suggests biodiesel industry supports nearly 48,000 jobs

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Nearly 100 biodiesel industry leaders converged on Capitol Hill recently to call for strong clean-fuels policy as a new study found the industry is supporting nearly 48,000 jobs nationwide.

The study, conducted by LMC International, found the 2.1 billion gallons of biodiesel and renewable diesel used by Americans last year supported $8.4 billion in economic impact across a wide variety of economic sectors along with 47,400 jobs and $1.9 billion in wages paid.

The report also highlighted how growing biodiesel imports are eating into the domestic industry’s production and economic impact. It found that the industry would have supported 21,200 additional jobs last year if all the biodiesel and renewable diesel had been produced domestically.

Instead, one-third came from overseas.

Anne Steckel, vice president of federal affairs for the National Biodiesel Board, said the study underscores the benefits of strong policy that encourages further development of the domestic industry.

“Ending our dependence on oil is an opportunity, not just for the environment and our national security, but also for the economy and for American workers,” Steckel said. “This industry is supporting tens of thousands of jobs from coast to coast, and we’re just getting started.”

Biodiesel — made from a diverse mix of resources such as recycled cooking oil, soybean oil and animal fats — is the first and only EPA-designated Advanced Biofuel to reach commercial-scale production nationwide. It’s produced at many locations in the Midwest, including the REG plant in Newton.

According to the EPA, biodiesel reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 57 percent to 86 percent compared with petroleum diesel.

Biodiesel producers, feedstock suppliers and other stakeholders headed to Capitol Hill recently to highlight the benefits of strong biodiesel policy.

They are calling for higher Biomass-Based Diesel and Advanced Biofuel requirements under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) than EPA recently proposed along with extension and reform of the biodiesel tax incentive slated to expire at the end of the year. The reform would change the $1-per-gallon incentive to a domestic producer’s tax credit. Under the current blender’s credit, biodiesel imported to the U.S. qualifies for the incentive.

Gov. Terry Branstad came to REG’s Newton facility in May sign a law extending state tax credits for biodiesel.

The LMC study, which was commissioned by NBB, found that biodiesel production has a significant positive impact across a variety of economic sectors, including processing

AUG. 9

and manufacturing, agriculture, transportation and animal processing.

Several companies, such as REG, and trade associations have encouraged the EPA to set higher volume targets for biomass-based diesel under the RFS, calling for at least a 2.5 billion gallon requirement in 2018.

Not everyone is on board with biofuels. A recent European Commission report argued indirect land use changes tied to biofuels caused higher emissions, and that activities like clearing grassland and forests could negate any cuts in greenhouse gases. The EU responded by setting a 7 percent cap on conventional biofuels last year, and encourages countries to promote advanced biofuels by setting national targets.

However, job growth is a major component of growing the biodiesel industry in the U.S., according to the LMC study.

LMC found, with 2.5 billion gallons of production, the industry would support 81,600 jobs and $14.7 billion in total economic impact if all production were domestic. The impact is 55,000 jobs and $9.8 billion in total impact under a split of two-thirds domestic production and onethird imports.

NBB is the U.S. trade association representing the biodiesel and renewable diesel industries, including producers, feedstock suppliers, and fuel distributors.

AN EVENT LIKE NO OTHER BECK’S IOWA FIELD SHOW WWW.BECKSHYBRIDS.COM/FIELDSHOWS

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented recently on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“In general, crops remain in very good condition with both 83 percent of corn and soybeans rated in good or excellent condition. Fortunately, most areas of the state have adequate moisture as we head into August, which is a critical time, especially for soybean development,” Northey said.

Relatively dry conditions throughout the week were ideal for crop development and allowed Iowa farmers 5.4 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending July 31, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Activities for the week included cutting hay and aerial spraying of corn with fungicide and insecticide.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 10 percent short, 82 percent adequate and 6 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 12 percent short, 81 percent adequate and 5 percent surplus.

Ninety-five percent of the corn crop reached the silking stage, five days ahead of last year and almost two weeks ahead of the five-year average. Thirty-five percent of the corn crop reached the dough stage.

Isolated reports of corn starting to dent were received from across the State. Corn condition rated 83 percent good to excellent. Soybeans blooming reached 90 percent, six days ahead of the previous year. Sixty-four percent of soybeans were setting pods, five days ahead of last year. Soybean condition rated 83 percent good to excellent.

Hay condition was rated 73 percent good to excellent, while pasture condition was rated 61 percent good to excellent.

Reduced temperatures improved livestock conditions which were reported to be good.

PFI to host field day Sunday Practical Farmers of Iowa and Julia Slocum of Lacewing Acres will host “Field Planning for a Beginning Vegetable Farm” field day from 2 to 5 p.m.

Sunday near Ames.

Lacewing Acres is located at 3715 W 190th St., about six miles north of Ames on the grounds of Alluvial Brewing Company, just north of the brewery building.

The event is free to attend and will include a potluck after the program. Guests are asked to bring a dish to share and their own table service.

To RSVP for the meal, contact Lauren Zastrow at lauren@practicalfarmers.org or 515- 232-5661 by Thursday. The field day is sponsored by Iowa Farmers Union.

Attendees will learn about different possibilities for setting up a vegetable farm spatially, including issues that need to be considered and the advantages and disadvantages of different configurations.

Slocum will discuss a range of practical issues, such as bed length, width and height; plot size and rotation; relay cropping and plant groupings; tillage and weeding strategies; cover crops; use of mulches and covers; and irrigation and equipment considerations. In addition, Gary Guthrie, who operates Growing Harmony Farm near Nevada, will take part in the presentation, offering insights from an experienced farmer’s perspective.

“I hope people will get a better sense of what they need to do to get going with a small vegetable operation, and walk away with some ideas on how to do it without huge financial inputs,” Slocum said.

Practical Farmers of Iowa’s 2016 field day season features 25 events around Iowa. For more information, visit practicalfarmers.org.

hard to follow up on.”

Scott Miller, a deputy at the Mahaska County Sheriff ’s Office, said Monday four pieces of heavy equipment were found burned on the pipeline route at 175th Street and Kent Avenue between Oskaloosa and New Sharon. Investigators believe the fire was set early Sunday morning.

The New Sharon Fire Department were the first to re-

businesses, such as Bun in the Oven, to some of the older, most established businesses around the square. Loebsack chatted briefly with business owners, asking how long each one had been in business.

Laurie Nelson, owner of Relics Antiques, talked about the challenges of moving across the square to the old Pappy’s Antique Mall location from a previous, cramped arrangement in a storefront on the west side of the square. Loebsack asked about the history of the antique mall site, which was, among other former identities, a JC Penny’s store.

Sullivan, who was Newton Main Street’s Board president until director Andrew Bassman left to take another position, has only been the director a short time. However, she is knowledgeable about several recently obtained grants by local businesses, and she described progress made, challenges overcome and vacant spaces and other challenges that lie ahead.

After the tour, Loebsack told the Newton Daily News federal help with startup costs are important, but there are also ways Congress can do more to help small businesses sustain growth.

“Having the right kind of regulatory environment is really a big key,” Loebsack said.

The five-term Democrat, who is being opposed

by Coralville surgeon and Republican Chris Peters for the Second District seat, was in Philadelphia a few days ago as one of Iowa’s superdelegates, said the convention process is exhausting, and by Saturday, his voice was hoarse.

Loebsack greeted the owner or whichever staff were on hand at five of the businesses he visited Monday in Newton. Only one of the store owners — Bonnie Terpstra of The Farmer’s Wife — mentioned the differences in the business climate from when Maytag was still operating its plant, through the ensuing transition years.

Loebsack is a member of the bipartisan Small Business Caucus and has sponsored or supported several bills to help small businesses. He’s a co-sponsor of HR 5022 — the Helping Individuals with Reemployment and Entrepreneurial Development (HIRED) Act — a recently introduced amendment to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to include assistance to dislocated workers.

“We are also a nonprofit that is only tied to the city by its ability to remove the funding raised by the local hotel/motels from our organization and distribute it in other ways,” Criswell said.

“We will investigate other funding streams and be creative with the funds that we have.”

The board did request for the remainder of the hotel/motel tax funds that are due to the CVB at the end of fiscal year 2016 in the amount of $13,149.

Criswell said at the beginning of the study group process, the council went though to determine the future funding of the CVB. Board members were invited to the

“Yet that was the last meeting we were invited to,” Criswell said.

“Also, we were assured three times that the fiscal year 2017 budget for the CVB in the amount of $110,000 as passed by the city council would remain intact. The CVB board feels our input would have been invaluable in making a decision of this magnitude.”

Council has taken no official action in regard to the CVB. In other business, the conversion of First Avenue East from a four-lane road to a three-lane road failed to gain a motion Monday for an application for grant funding for the project.

“The January ceremony was an incredibly moving event,” Guenther. “One of the reasons many men try to make progress in their lives is to make their families proud.

the council included an application to the Iowa Department of Transportation Traffic Safety Improvement Program for grant funding provided to safety improvements such as the lane conversion. The maximum funding amount is $500,000 per project with the city projecting to save approximately $80,000 in Surface Transportation Program funds and approximately $20,000 in Road Use funds.

The preliminary cost for the project is estimated at more than $1.1 million. Work in traveled lanes will be paid for by the Iowa Department of Transportation in the amount of $678,000. The city is responsible for 20 percent of the costs estimated for work outside of the traveled lane or

Literacy The Liberal Arts in Prison Program provides liberal arts education to incarcerated men and women in Iowa’s prisons and youth and its First Year of College program is for men who undergo a selective admissions process at the Newton Correctional Facility. Between 50 and 70 on-campus students volunteer each semester but accredited courses are taught by Grinnell faculty. There are typically three accredited classes each semester, so inmates receive regular Grinnell credits for passed courses taken while in prison.

Aside from staff salaries, LAPP is funded entirely by grants and private donations to the college.

A 2012 survey of the first 140 men to complete the program showed nearly all participants said the program transformed how they thought about liberal arts education, and half of them were currently working or volunteering in a project that related to their experience in the program.

To date, none of the prisoners who have completed the program have returned to prison.

While the program began as a student organization in about 2003 before later becoming a credit-class program in 2009, it shifted into a more semester course-based arrangement called the First Year of College program in 2011, where inmates are admitted into groups and all take the same Grinnell courses at the same time.

Inmates typically remain in the program for either the duration of their time at the prison or when they hit the maximum of 60 Grinnell credits that can be earned.

When last discussing the topic, the council, along with Mayor Mike Hansen, said they do not want to rush the process, even for potential grant money.

izing his thinking was broken, but that’s the type of epiphany he had as a result of the LAPP program.

He realized his own best thinking had got him to prison, and while the motley crüe of inmates who wouldn’t mix based on their backgrounds, the camaraderie of the student-inmates has been a big part of the LAPP’s success.

“It was tedious, hard work,” Cosby said. “But that was the time when us inmates became more like a family.”

Cosby said when he first showed up at Kirkwood Community College in 2012, his transcript from Grinnell probably seemed like something not typically in the possession of a recently released prison inmate. He owed money to the college, so he wasn’t able to begin taking classes toward a degree at Kirkwood as early as he hoped, but his Grinnell work done while at Newton Correctional gave him a huge head start in college.

Several alumni of the program, including Cosby, make regular appearances at Grinnell at alumni events and in many other places, talking about the vision and strength of the process. Cosby, who now has custody of his two children, also is active in his community as a union member, an NAACP member, and, more recently, as a part of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Cosby comes back to the college regularly to speak — especially in June when Grinnell class reunions are held, and alumni hear presentations about campus programs such as LAPP. “The reunion events that take place each year are really special,” Guenther said. “It really highlights how much the program is a part of the college, and shows global ownership. It’s a really great event.”

Omaha here we come O

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

ur first official family vacation is in the books. It only lasted a weekend, and we didn’t travel far, but it was the first time we headed out just as our family without a predetermined event to attend.

To test out the vacation waters, I planned a short weekend to Omaha to visit the zoo and stay at a hotel with a water park. I didn’t want to travel too far, stay too long or spend too much money for an experience we will probably do again in the next couple of years.

I had the full intention of waking up early Saturday morning and heading out by 7 a.m. to get there at about the time the zoo opened. If I have one true weakness I can pinpoint it is sleep — and sleep got the better of me.

We finally pulled out around 9 a.m. after packing up the car and making sure we had everything for the brief

trip. The girls and I had just gone to the Ozarks the weekend before, so the two-ish hour drive to Nebraska seemed like a hop, skip and jump compared to where we had been.

Upon arrival at the zoo, we found it to be very busy. We splurged on the extra packages and headed to see animals the girls had only seen on television or in books.

Our first stop was the aquarium.

The girls loved all of the fish, especially those resembling Nemo or Dory.

The underwater tunnel showed them sharks, starfish and countless other animals and fish. They even had the chance to see an octopus.

The next destination at the zoo were the elephants. As we were making our way there, my oldest daughter saw the sky glider. Even though she is afraid of heights, she loves that ride and made

sure we knew until we were on it.

The elephants were a no show, which was disappointing, but we took a train ride that gave us an up close look at a couple of rhinoceroses and some zebras. We checked out all of the big cats and monkey varieties before going to stingray beach where my youngest hesitated to stick her hand in and pet the underwater birds.

Patience was beginning to wane by then, so we grabbed a snack and hit up the bears before calling it a day at the zoo. Overall I think the girls enjoyed it. Next time we might go on any other day but Saturday and during a different season to avoid the crowds and lines.

At the hotel all the girls could think about was swimming. My husband and I hadn’t eaten anything yet so we ordered a pizza and ate before we headed down to the pool.

“Pool” might not be the best way to describe the water park. To the girls’ delight, there was a lazy river, 10 or more slides, a water castle to climb and a pool to show off their new swimming skills.

They spent several hours doing anything and everything they could at the water park. My oldest got especially brave going down all of the slides by herself multiple times.

The girls had just finished swim lessons the day before and were eager to show off their ability to swim under water. Without any fear, both plunged under and swim a yard or two, popping up with huge smiles on their faces.

As the sun began to set, we called it a night and headed back up to get washed up. On the way out, their girls noticed a game room/arcade similar to Chuck E. Cheese’s so we made that our nightcap before heading to bed.

For a first trip, I think it went pretty well. I know we continually need to work on patience with the girls, especially my oldest, and waiting for special treats instead of instant gratification.

Now to figure out where to go next year.

Living and Dion Marc Dion

A beautiful death Men who believe in some version of Islam cut the throat of Fr. Jacques Hamel the way you’d cut the throat of a hog. He was 85, a priest celebrating Mass in a small French town called Saint Etienne-du-Rouvray. “Etienne” is the French version of the English name Stephen. St. Stephen, stoned to death A.D. 36, is the first Christian martyr.

I helped butcher a hog once. Another young man shot the hog in the head and I drew the bright blade across the dead animal’s throat. We ate fresh pork tenderloin that night.

The difference between Hamel and the hog is that Hamel died a beautiful death.

In these days when the early martyrs are forgotten and when we think all death is ugly and that the Catholic churches of France are more museums than houses of worship, we forget.

The French nuns of the Sisters of the Holy Union of the Sacred Heart, who taught me when I was a boy, never forgot.

In the early 1960s, when I attended grade school, the sisters were clothed and mentally armored after the manner of the 1400s.

Above all else, they were certain. They knew we were sacks of skin stuffed with sin, but they knew that there was some light of holiness inside us, that the call to sacrifice meant so much more than just pain.

They were beautiful. They had thrown themselves down a well for God, drowned in God and woke back up again in God. Hamel fell, bleeding out like a stuck pig, gurgling in his throat, while his executioners pranced and bellowed around him.

And he opened like a rose, became a church in his own body, lay dead at the foot of the altar on which he’d sacrificed his whole life.

He was beautiful in those final seconds, the ugliness of his death just a backdrop for the soul those men couldn’t touch.

Make a saint of him. He deserves it in this time when so few of us believe in the saints, so many of whom died deaths that were like jewels thrown casually at the feet of God. We’ve lost the poets who wrote the songs of triumphant tragedy. We’ve lost the painters who painted the death of saints and heroes as victories, not defeats. The worst thing about us here in Europe and America, is that we are scared of death every minute of our lives, a failing that sells everything from smoothies to free weights.

He was just an old priest in a small church, an old man with an old man’s goat face and an old man’s sour wine smell, and he died stuck like a pig.

A death so beautiful in its purity, it sings in the ears like hymn.

Perhaps the most notable event has been the Miss Iowa/Teen USA pageant. The event has been held in Newton for several years.

That event alone has brought hundreds of people to Newton. In addition, they have been the driving force in bringing meetings, bus tours, bridal shows, etc. to our city.

In short, the CVB has been successful in bringing more people to our city.

Like Patty Judge, the LCV fervently supports the Water of the United States rule, which is a massive power grab to give the Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers control over virtually every stream, wetland, river and marsh in the country at the expense of individual property

owners.

This group’s endorsement of Patty Judge should serve as a clear warning that she will side with radical environmentalists, liberal special interest groups and Washington bureaucrats over Iowa’s farmers and agribusinesses.

As she proved when she was lieutenant governor and broke our state’s budget, rural Iowa cannot afford Patty Judge.

Very simply stated ...

Fred loved family and friends. He was always leaving them with a smile or a laugh. Besides a great sense of humor, Fred was known for being able to provide common sense for family problems that needed

answers. He was always there to support in any capacity. Everyone has their own unique and special “Fred” story, but the common theme in all of them is they were full of fun and laughter.

Fred was also a great cook with homemade breads and pastas being his most special treats. When complimented, he would simply reply, “This is what I do!” Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve were a much cherished tradition for everyone at Fred and Diane’s home.

Grandsons, Connor and Nathan have brought fun, mischief and laughter to the

Martinson gatherings.

Ellen and Macy will be teaching the boys all the tricks they pulled on their Dad for April Fool’s Day while sharing how Fred got them back.

Fred loved traveling with family, and his wife, Diane, of 43 years.

Fred and Diane met on a blind date, and created a bond together that most only dream of. Fred also enjoyed tailgating at the Iowa Speedway, in addition to his annual golf outing with his buddies.

All who met Fred immediately valued his friendship. He was a good man in the finest sense. He was our ballast.

Woman must pick right time to reveal she can’t have kids DEAR ABBY: I’m an attractive 30-year-old woman just out of a fiveyear relationship. I am starting to date again, but I have a complication — I cannot have children. I am wondering when the right time to bring this up with the men I meet would be. After a few dates seems too soon; however, the men usually reveal their desire for a family during this time. What is the rule of thumb here? — SINGLE IN SAN FRANCISCO DEAR SINGLE: The rule of thumb is: Honesty is the best policy. If someone tells you he wants a family, it would be dishonest not to tell him then that you won’t be able to have children.

However, if nothing is mentioned before, when you are becoming intimate and the subject of birth control is raised would be a logical time to speak up.

DEAR ABBY: I live in a city. Many of my friends live in the suburbs within commuting distance. Several of them commute daily, and there are many mass transit options running throughout the night. On a few occasions we have planned an outing in the city and, after the tickets are purchased, etc., one of them (“Carla”) has casually stated, “I may need to spend the night at your house since it’ll be late when we get back.”

Abby, Carla knows the schedule of mass transit and knows what we’ve planned. How do I respond when she invites herself to spend the night?

I have the room, but it’s still a hassle having someone stay overnight. — CITY GIRL WITH COUNTRY FRIENDS DEAR CITY GIRL: Assuming this is becoming a pattern with Carla, the time to bring this up is before you buy the tickets. The words to use are: “I would prefer that you don’t stay over because I’m really not comfortable having overnight guests.” And if she continues to suggest she wants to stay with you, stop inviting her to nighttime events.

DEAR ABBY: I find that I get asked far too often why I haven’t bought a house yet. I’m 42, single and have a master’s degree, but like lots of

other people I had to go into debt to get it.

I’m not complaining about that.

What bugs me is the invasive question I don’t feel I should have to answer, usually asked by people whose parents helped them to buy a house. I don’t come from a rich family, and it feels like people are flaunting their privilege when they ask me. Duh, I don’t have $20,000 for a down payment. But I shouldn’t have to say that.

How can I respond to this question while not being rude or actually answering it? Better yet, how do I respond in such a way that people stop asking? — IN DEBT IN ILLINOIS DEAR IN DEBT: This reply should do the trick: “There are many reasons why, and it’s complicated.

When and if I do decide to buy, I’ll let you know.”

DEAR ABBY: My daughter and I disagree about whether it’s all right to hold the door open when the air conditioning is running on high to keep the house cool. She’ll hold the door open while standing in the doorway talking to her friends who drive up in a car. In the meantime, I am paying for the AC to run full blast. Please give us some guidance. — ANONYMOUS MOM IN RALEIGH DEAR MOM: I’ll try. Rather than venture into the physics of how air conditioners work, may I suggest that because your daughter lives with you and you are paying the bills, she should have enough respect for you to do as you ask.

Police arrested Clague more than a month after Iowa State student Emmalee Jacobs was found in a street bordering campus. She died at a hospital.

Task force pushing $10.75 minimum wage by 2019

Former Iowa State Patrol supervisor pleads not guilty MASON CITY — A former Iowa State Patrol supervisor has pleaded not guilty to accusations that he stole prescription medications seized during criminal investigations. Online court records say 31-year-old Michael Haugen, of Forest City, entered the plea Monday in Cerro Gordo County. A trial starting date has not been set. A court affidavit says Haugen has acknowledged removing pills from evidence bags.

DES MOINES — A task force formed by county supervisors intends to recommend that Polk County raise the local minimum wage to $10.75 an hour by 2019. The task force will recommend that the board start with a $1.50 increase on April 1 next year, followed by $1 increases in January 2018 and 2019. The task force had originally decided to recommend Jan. 1 for the $1.50 increase, but the group decided at its meeting Monday to delay that to April 1, giving businesses more time to adjust.

Des Moines woman pleads guilty to vehicular homicide DES MOINES — A Des Moines woman has pleaded guilty to two vehicular homicide charges stemming from a crash the left two men dead.

Deanna Marie Gliem, 53, entered the pleas Monday afternoon. She was arrested after the Nov. 17 crash on Des Moines’ east side that killed 63-year-old Richard Hummel and 59-year-old Randall Sonnenburg. Police determined Gliem was driving 73 mph in an area with a 35 mph speed limit when she crashed into the car driven by Hummel.

Authorities ID crop-dusting pilot killed in Iowa crash SAC CITY — Authorities have released the name of a crop-dusting pilot who was killed when his plane crashed in western Iowa. The plane wreckage was discovered around 9:45 a.m. Friday.

Senate Republicans on the spot over Trump comments on Khan WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — The uproar over Donald Trump’s criticism of a bereaved Army family put vulnerable GOP senators in a tight spot, underscoring anew the political challenges created for Republicans by their newly minted presidential nominee. And with the general election campaign now squarely underway, the firestorm over Trump’s attacks on the Khan family is likely just a taste of trials to come as Republicans negotiate how closely to align with their volatile nominee.

Senate Republicans running for re-election weighed in one after another Monday to condemn Trump’s repeated attacks on the parents of slain U.S. Army Capt.

Humayun Khan, with former prisoner of war Sen. John McCain of Arizona leading the charge.

McCain issued a lengthy statement insisting that Trump has no right “to defame those who are the best among us” and pleading: “I hope Americans understand that the remarks do not represent the views of our Republican Party, its officers, or candidates.”

Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa said Trump’s comments “are not in line with my own beliefs

AP Photo In this file photo, Sen. Chuck Grassley speaks during the National Governors Association meeting in Des Moines. Republicans aren’t just distancing themselves from Donald Trump, they’re making a point of not campaigning with him. When Trump was in Pennsylvania last week, Pat Toomey was nowhere to be found. Same with Grassley in Iowa.

about how the members of the military and their families should be treated.”

Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina said that “Captain Khan is an American hero in every sense of the term and the Khans deserve our sincerest gratitude.”

Said Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri: “My advice to Donald Trump has been and will continue to be to focus on jobs and national security and stop responding to every criticism whether it’s from a grieving family or Hillary Clinton.”

And Sen. Marco Ru-

bio of Florida called Trump’s comments “unfortunate” and praised Khan as a hero.

Yet as Democrats were quick to point out, most of the Republicans criticizing Trump had already declared their plans to vote for him for president, and despite their collective outrage, none of them withdrew their support.

Several, including House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, avoided mentioning the billionaire by name.

“No matter what Trump has said or done — from shameful per-

sonal attacks to racist outbursts — John McCain has blindly pledged to ‘support the nominee,” said Max Croes, campaign manager for McCain’s Democratic opponent, Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, in one typical response from a Democratic Senate campaign.

“McCain’s window to take a principled stand and abandon Trump has closed. There is no post-primary redemption for John McCain,” Croes added, in a reference to McCain’s Aug. 30 primary face-off against a tea party-backed conservative.

Ceremony set for new Omaha National Cemetery for veterans OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A long-awaited national cemetery for U.S. military veterans and their families south of Omaha will be dedicated this week before accepting its first burials this fall.

The Omaha National Cemetery will be dedicated Friday at an off-site ceremony in Sarpy County.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is expected to complete an initial segment of several acres of the property to be used for in-ground casket and cremation burials as early as September, cemetery director Cindy Van Bibber said.

“Toward the end of August ... we’re going to start allowing them to schedule services,” Van Bibber said Friday.

Branstad meets with groups to pitch new water quality plan

Newton Village 641-787-6006 Follow

growing discussion in the Legislature over how to pay to keep the state’s waterways clean. The GOP-controlled House passed legislation that would use some other funding streams to pay for some water quality initiatives, but it didn’t pass in the Democratic-led Senate.

Branstad was vague about whether his latest plan has support in the Senate, where leaders have not commented on it. Branstad noted he may have more success if Republicans take control of the chamber in the upcoming Novem-

ber election.

Democratic Sen. Joe Bolkcom leads a Senate committee that could potentially address this plan if it becomes a bill.

Bolkcom said he has reservations about the new proposal because it would eventually reduce school infrastructure funding. He added that agriculture groups linked to farm runoff should help pay for water quality initiatives. “(Branstad’s) proposal doesn’t say anything about every ag producer and business’ need to have skin in the game,” Bolkcom said.

more money for education.

The initial proposal aimed to immediately scoop money from an existing 1-cent sales tax fund that goes toward school infrastructure. The latest plan would allow that fund to expire in 2029, as scheduled, but then use a new 1-cent sales tax to pay for both school infrastructure and water quality.

Nation & World News

Paid family leave benefits rising in some regions NEW YORK (AP) — The call for paid family leave on the Democratic party platform is the most ambitious attempt by a major party in years to reverse the United States’ status as the only industrialized nation without any standard for paid time off for new parents. But over the last five years a handful of states and some industries have been quietly increasing this benefit.

Last week’s convention put paid family leave on the list of workplace election issues along with the minimum wage and equal pay. The Democrats say they will try to secure up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave to care for a new child. While the Republican platform makes no specific reference to paid family leave, the GOP in 2015 called for establishing a “flexible credit hour program” in which workers could exchange overtime hours worked for future leave time.

While Americans generally support paid family leave — a poll conducted this spring by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 72 percent of Americans 40 and older support the benefit — efforts to adopt a national standard haven’t gone anywhere. Advocates are now more hopeful. “It’s taken on an inevitability,” said Ellen Bravo, executive director of Family Values @ Work, an advocacy group. “Not that it will happen by itself, that it will take work. It took a decade to get the first three states.”

More reason for optimism is that a few states and several competitive industries have slowly been bolstering paid parental leave laws and policies.

Here’s a look at the current best and worst industries and regions with regard to paid family leave benefits.

BEST INDUSTRIES The technology sector leads the private sector in parental leave offerings.

About 30 percent of tech workers had access to paid family leave, up from 23 percent in 2011, a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey from March 2015 found. That’s nearly triple the average of all industries. About 12 percent of workers overall had access to paid family leave in 2015, up just slightly from 11 percent in 2011.

Netflix made a media splash last year when it changed its policy to allow new mothers and fathers up to a year off. Etsy gives new parents up to 26 weeks off, while Google offers 12 weeks of paid time, and Microsoft has expanded its offering to 20 weeks.

Facebook offers 16 weeks of paid leave to new parents, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg made headlines when he took two months off to care for his new daughter.

The industries that shine tend to compete for workers globally where other nations and companies offer generous benefits. “For many companies, this is a business issue,” Bravo said. “It’s about retaining and attracting talent.”

Such industries include the financial sector. Bank of America, Merrill Lynch and Citi all offer more than 12 weeks of paid parental leave.

BEST PLACES California allows workers to receive 55 percent of their pay for up to six weeks, through a state insurance program funded by workers. A new San Francisco law requires private employers within the city to make up the remainder of a new parent’s full pay for six weeks.

Starting in 2018, New York workers will become eligible to take up to 12 weeks paid time off to care for a new child or sick relative. The benefit will be funded by worker payroll contributions and will start at 50 percent of an employee’s weekly wage up to the statewide average.

New Jersey law allows new parents to receive twothirds of their average weekly wage for up to six weeks during a 12 month period or until benefits equal to one-third of total wages during their base year, whichever is less.

In 2013, Rhode Island amended its temporary disability law to include caregivers and new parents. The benefit, funded by an employee payroll tax, allows for up to four weeks paid leave at about 60 percent of one’s wages with a maximum weekly benefit of $795 per week.

Open House –1st Avenue E Overlay and Safety Improvements Project Thursday, August 4, 2016 5-7 pm Newton City Hall 101 W 4th Street S The City of Newton is planning a project for 2017 that will mill and overlay 1st Avenue E and from the 1300 block to E 28th Street.

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

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

The City is hosting an open house for this project to obtain public input. Any questions regarding the project or open house, please contact Public Works at 641-792-6622, extension 20 or 31.

Four Kenyan-born runners join Army, represent US at Rio Games FORT CARSON, Colo. (AP) — Kenyan-born runner Hillary Bor won’t be content with just wearing the red, white and blue at the Olympics.

He’s willing to protect his new country, too.

The sergeant in the U.S. Army heads to Rio this month while his unit — which includes his older brother — is already deployed to Afghanistan.

Bor stayed behind this time, but it could be his turn soon.

That’s the reality for Bor and three other runners of Kenyan descent who’ve taken a unique path to the Olympics through enlisting in the Army, earning U.S. citizenship, training with the military branch’s World Class Athlete Program and making Team USA. They understand the risks. They’ve pledged allegiance to America — as soldiers to defend and now as runners hoping to bring home an Olympic medal.

“I might be told tomorrow, ‘Hey, pack your things, we’re deploying.’

I can’t say, ‘I have the Olympics coming up,’ said Army specialist Paul Chelimo, who’s from Iten, Kenya, and earned a spot in the 5,000 meters at U.S. Trials in July. “Whatever happens from now to the Olympics, into the future, I’m here to follow the orders.”

Simply the Army way of life for specialists Leonard Korir and Shadrack Kipchirchir, Chelimo and Bor. — Korir hails from Iten, Kenya, and was a two-time NCAA champion at Iona College before joining the Army in May 2015 as a motor transportation operator.

He qualified in the 10,000

meters at trials.

— Kipchirchir is from Eldoret, Kenya, and was an All-American at Oklahoma State University.

He enlisted in June 2014 as a financial management technician. He’s going in the 10,000.

— Bor, a 3,000-meter steeplechase runner, arrived from Eldoret as a teenager, running for Iowa State and entering the military in July 2013. He’s one of three Bor brothers in the Army — the other two following his lead.

— Chelimo became a standout at University of North Carolina-Greensboro, before joining in May 2014. He balances his time between training and his duties as a water treatment specialist.

“If you have a contract with a big shoe company, that’s predictable — you know what’s going to happen,” Chelimo explained. “With the Army, you don’t know.”

All four are part of the Army’s World Class Athlete Program, which formally began in 1997 and is designed to give soldier-athletes the support necessary to compete at the highest levels. The program — headquartered in Fort Carson, Colorado — includes a variety of sports, with more than a dozen soldier-athletes and three coaches making the trip for the Rio Olympics and Paralympics.

A number bolstered by the Kenyan-raised runners.

“It’s a pretty humbling moment to think that somebody would want to leave their country and come to yours and do so to the degree in which they would die for something they haven’t even been a part of yet,” said Army Capt. Matthew Hickey, who supervises the program. “WCAP provides a lot to the U.S. Army — we help train soldiers,

help make more ready and resilient troops.

“However, if all hell broke loose, everybody in the U.S. Army is a soldier first and expected to go deploy and defend the country.”

Bor was nearly sent to Afghanistan in February, when his unit needed either him or his brother to go.

His older brother, Julius, instantly volunteered.

“It takes courage for someone to raise their hand and say, ‘I’m going to fight for my country.’ It’s something I admire,” Hillary Bor said. “He knew I had a chance to make the team.”

Growing up, Bor preferred soccer over running, which he didn’t really even take seriously until after high school when his uncle, Barnaba Korir, a standout at Iowa State, enticed him to come to America and give college running a try.

Zika outbreak prompts travel warning for area of Miami MIAMI (AP) — In a highly unusual travel warning, health officials advised pregnant women to avoid a part of Miami where mosquitoes are apparently transmitting Zika directly to humans.

Health officials last Friday announced that mosquitoes have apparently started spreading Zika on the U.S. mainland, citing four cases they strongly believe were caused by bites. Ten more cases were announced

Monday, even though Florida authorities have yet to find any mosquitoes actually carrying the virus.

Of the 14 people infected, two are women and 12 are men. Eight patients showed symptoms of Zika, which can include fever, rash, joint pain and red eyes. The others had no symptoms.

The disease is often so mild that most people don’t know they are infected.

All 14 cases are

thought to have occurred in Miami’s Wynwood arts district, a trendy, fast-gentrifying neighborhood of warehouses, art galleries, restaurants and boutiques.

Rosemary LeBranch was doing laundry in Wynwood when health officials came to her house a few days ago and took urine samples from her, her daughter and her father. Her father, Gabriel Jean, tested positive for Zika, she said Monday.

He had already spoken

with a doctor and was advised to wear long shirts and pants outdoors.

“He said nothing hurts; he doesn’t have any pain. He doesn’t feel anything,” she said.

More than 1,650 cases of Zika have been reported in U.S. states. Nearly all have been the result of travel to a Zika-stricken country or sex with someone who was infected abroad, but now more than a dozen people have been infected in the U.S.

Four Cardinals receive LHC baseball honors

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News It was not the baseball season Newton High’s Cardinals expected or wanted, registering nine wins overall and going 5-13 in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

The Cardinals did have the second-best team fielding average, .964, in the conference and tied for second in the least-most errors as a team, 20. They had a team earned run average of 3.24, which was fourth in the Little Hawkeye Conference.

Newton hung its hats and gloves on solid defense and good pitching for the 2016.

Little Hawkeye Conference coaches noticed and rewarded four members of the Cardinal baseball team with conference honors.

Junior Brennen Dodd was one of eight unanimous selections to the 2016 All-Little Hawkeye Conference baseball first team. The conference coaches’ selections were released following conference-champion Pella’s finish in the Class 3A state baseball tournament. The Little Dutch lost in the 3A semifinals Friday.

Dodd was a first-team selection as an outfielder. Newton junior Connor Gholson was named to the All-LHC second team as a utility player after pitching and playing shortstop this summer season.

Junior Trey Vanderlaan and sophomore Garrett Sturtz received honorable mention honors. Vanderlaan was the starting first baseman and pitched for Newton. Sturtz played shortstop, second base, third base and pitched for the Cardinals.

Newton finished sixth in the Little Hawkeye Conference.

Pella won the LHC title at 15-3 with Dallas Center-Grimes and Oskaloosa tied for second at 11-7. Norwalk went 9-9 for fourth and Pella Christian was fifth at 8-10. Grinnell took seventh at 4-14.

The other unanimous selections were Grant Judkins, Tyler Hillman and Jaden Rolffs of Pella, Grinnell’s Ethan Mitchell, Pella Christian’s Clay Stravers and Norwalk’s Tyler Schamel and Alex Dinnen.

Dodd was Newton’s starting center fielder with a fielding average of .879 with eight errors. Newton had the worst team batting average, .196, in the conference. Dodd led the Cardinals with a .333 batting average, which was 12th in the LHC. He had 25 hits, one double, and had a slugging percentage of .347.

Dodd scored 12 runs as Newton’s leadoff hitter, and had five RBIs. His on-base percentage was .412. He was

It is the second year in a row for Gholson as a second-team selection. He went 2-6 on the mound for Newton. His 44 strikeouts was fifth-best in the LHC and his 2.78 ERA was ninth-best in the conference.

Gholson allowed 58 hits, 31 runs and 16 walks in 55 1/3 innings worked.

He had seven errors. Gholson hit .253, which was third-best on the team, and led the team with 17 RBIs. He had 21 hits, six doubles and scored four runs. He was 5-of-7 on stolen base attempts.

CMB’s Brady Stover named to 2A INA All-State first team

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter baseball coach Max Seeman admitted to holding back senior ace pitcher Brady Stover during the regular season.

Stover got his normal one start per week against a rival inside the Heart of Iowa Conference. He only made three starts in conference play in all and had four wins heading into the postseason.

Stover Saving Stover’s left arm for a big playoff push ended up paying dividends for the Raiders, and the senior’s efforts in the postseason did not go unnoticed.

Stover was named to the Class 2A first team All-State squad by the Iowa Newspaper Association on Sunday.

The INA’s all-state teams were released Tuesday to the general public.

The Raider senior was voted to the first team as a pitcher, joining fellow Division I recruit Javin Drake of Wilton and 2015 first-team returnee Trace Hoffman of Cascade.

Stover and Drake were second-team selections in 2015, but their efforts on the diamond in 2016 made them both easy selections for first team.

On the season, Stover finished 7-1 with an earned run average of 0.64.

In 65 2/3 innings, Stover struck out 140 batters, which ranked first in the state in all classes. He allowed just six earned runs all season and opponents only hit 0.098 off him.

Stover started every postseason game for a Raider squad which advanced to its first-ever state baseball tournament.

In the district tournament opener against South Hamilton, the South Dakota State recruit fanned 11 Hawks

over five innings and allowed no runs on two hits.

Stover put together three straight one-hitters and struck out 56 batters over 23 innings to lead the Raiders (1412) to Principal Park. Those wins came against Des Moines Christian, No. 9 Roland-Story and Ogden, all of which won at least 20 games on the season.

The only team to a score a run on Stover in the district and substate tournament was Ogden in the substate final. The Raiders won that game 6-1.

Stover nearly helped CMB knock off Carroll Kuemper Catholic in the first round of the state baseball tournament. The Knights managed two earned runs off Stover, winning the game with a walk-off hit in the bottom of the eighth inning.

Joining Stover on the INA all-state first team were catcher Will Mertens of Van Buren, first Pleasantville first baseman Zeb Adreon, infielders Ketzalli Dondiego of Northeast, Wilton’s

Evan Reifert and Kuemper Catholic’s Rease Snyder, outfielders Skyler Boller of Hinton, Brock Busick of Pleasantville and Race Brant of Woodward-Granger. The two first-team utility spots were taken by Clear Lake’s Ethan McHenry and New Hampton’s Trevor Ambrose.

Notable second-team selections included East Marshall pitcher Nick Long, Van Meter first baseman Zach Forret, Clear Lake’s Cooper Merrill and Ben Mason, Kuemper’s Tyler Laing and Beckman Catholic’s Riley LeGrand.

Des Moines Christian ace pitcher Nick Fox made the all-state third team, while Roland-Story’s Tyler Hovick made the third team as an infielder and West Marshall’s Brady Petermeier was voted to the third team as an outfielder.

suggested that the City fund $32,000 a year with a two (2) year limit to be reviewed at that time.

There was Council consensus.

Bob Knabel, City Administrator introduced a proposal for housing on Seed Store Property. The prospective developers plan to utilize the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program.

Local business employees are being surveyed regarding housing needs in order to better understand the necessities.

Current rental managers were also surveyed and it was found that 13 properties have no vacancies and some have up to 70 on the waiting list.

Erin Chambers, Director of Planning and Zoning presented an update on the Action Plan for High Quality of Life. Highlights include 892 nuisance cases were closed during the 15-16 fiscal year; $11,318 was awarded in downtown micro grants which leveraged $14,846 in private investment; the safety rating increased 5.6% from 2014; and new playground equipment was installed in Aurora Heights Park.

Knabel spoke regarding the road infrastructure for Cardinal Hills Development.

There is a potential issue using the private to access easement due designation of a public or private road and the elimination of parking spaces for the businesses in that building. The other option would be to construct the main road off of 12th Street. Consensus was to easement use the private temporarily and for construction and then begin the planning process on the other road.

During new business Chambers indicated that an Open House would be held Thursday the 21st from 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM and also Tuesday the 26th at Noon to review the Comprehensive Plan.

Deal ‘em up! 18 trades — Beltran, Lucroy, Bruce, Moore move

By Ben Walker The Associated Press

NASCAR photo Chris Buescher, right, and crew chief Bob Osborne pose with the trophy after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Pennsylvania 400 at Pocono Raceway on Monday in Long Pond, Penn. The race was delayed due to inclement weather on Sunday.

Buescher emerges in the fog at Pocono for first career Cup win LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Chris Buescher sat in his Ford, hoping that the fog would stick over Pocono and the cloud over the rookie’s middling season would start to lift.

Buescher idled in his car, then stood with his arms folded on pit road.

“I tried not to get my hopes up,” he said.

Buescher emerged from the fog to become a surprising winner in Monday’s shortened Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway. He is now on the verge of being in the mix for NASCAR’s championship after not finishing better than 14th all season before Monday.

Imagine a title push that kicks off with Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson and little-known Buescher in the field.

“The plan was to always make the Chase,” Buescher said. “We’re that much closer now.”

He’s not there yet. Buescher is six points behind David Ragan for 30th to reach the cutoff needed to become eligible for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Buescher, who drives for underfunded Front Row Motorsports, was the beneficiary on a rare Monday race postponed a day by rain.

With nasty weather punishing the track, NASCAR called the red flag with 22 laps left and parked the cars on pit road. Buescher was as much a spectator in the No. 34 Ford as the few fans left in the stands, though NASCAR let drivers get out of their cars after about 10 minutes as they waited out gloomy conditions.

He was declared the winner after about an 80-minute delay. He was doused with beer and water in a makeshift victory lane celebration inside a garage stall, his Ford covered on rainy pit road instead of bathed in confetti.

Brad Keselowski was second, followed by Regan Smith, Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart. Jeff Gordon finished 27th driving for the injured Dale Earnhardt Jr. Buescher won twice last season in the Xfinity Series and won the series championship. He will spend 2016 as basically the fourth Jack Roush driver because of a shared technical alliance between the organizations.

He finished 30th or worse 10 times this season. Ragan had Front Row’s only victory 118 races ago in fall 2013 at Talladega.

Pagenaud uses a late pit stop to win Honda Indy 200 LEXINGTON, Ohio (AP) — Simon Pagenaud didn’t take the lead for good until the 85th of 90 laps when Conor Daly pitted for fuel, The Frenchman really won the race Sunday on a restart on Lap 66.

Pagenaud outraced Team Penske teammate Will Power to move ahead of him for good, and ended up beating the Australian by 4.16 seconds in the Honda Indy 200.

The pair nearly came together on the last of the 13 turns on the 2.2-mile at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course during after the race went back to green, but both escaped.

“We’re battling for a race, we’re battling for a championship,” Pagenaud said.

Power said he was cognizant that he was going against a teammate.

“In the last turn if I hadn’t backed off we would have crashed,” he said. “At that point I knew it was a teammate. (Team owner Roger Penske) would have been pretty made f we had taken each other out.”

Pagenaud took the lead at the end when Daly gave up a 10.5-second advantage over Pagenaud to make a fuel stop.

Even with a 4.8-second stop, Daly fell to eighth and ended up sixth.

Carlos Munoz was third and 2015 race winner Graham Rahal was fourth, 7.01 seconds.

A fourth victory of the season and the eighth of his IndyCar career increased Pagenaud’s series points lead to 58 over Power. Pagenaud knew his advantage would

have been down to 38 if Power had won, so he took a chance on the restart.

“I didn’t have much to lose,” Pagenaud said. “It was my time.”

Power blamed himself for letting Pagenaud pass him.

“I just blew it,” Power said. “I needed to do a much better job on that restart. It was not the greatest. I was quite slow. I put myself in the position to allow him to have a shot. When you have a shot, of course, you’re going to go for it.”

Daly, looking for his first victory, took the lead when the race went to caution on Lap 61 when Jack Hawksworth went into the tires.

During the pit stops Mikhail Aleshin, who led for 33 laps, pulled in front of Josef Newgarden and was ordered to the rear of the field.

Charlie Kimball had a great restart from the fifth position only to immediately drop back when he went off the course. IndyCar

Five-time Mid-Ohio winner Scott Dixon left the race after 14 laps following a collision with Helio Castroneves in Turn 2. Dixon returned on lap 60 and finished last of the 22 cars to drop a spot to fifth in the points standings.

Dixon was gaining on Castroneves but Castroneves kept the inside line and Dixon could not around him.

Dixon’s left tire popped and the suspension was damaged.

“We were racing hard there,” Dixon said. “I was alongside.

He kept edging over and there was nowhere to go. We made pretty good contact.”

Castroneves remained in the race and finished 15th.

The race capped a good weekend for Pagenaud, who won his sixth pole of the season, first at Mid-Ohio, with a course record time of 1 minute, 3.87 seconds (127.271 mph) around the 13-turn, 2.258-mile course Saturday during the final qualifying session.

Jonathan Lucroy got a deal he liked, Carlos Beltran joined him in Texas and Jay Bruce and Rich Hill also moved Monday during an 18-swap frenzy at the trade deadline.

Matt Moore, Francisco Liriano and Joe Smith found new homes, too, as playoff contenders stocked up for the stretch.

“That’s what we play for.

Those are the moments we want to be in,” Moore said after NL West-leading San Francisco got the lefty from last-place Tampa Bay. “For someone to reach out and come get me, it’s a really good feeling.”

Teams had until 3 p.m. to make trades without waivers. From now, no player can be dealt unless he goes unclaimed by everyone else.

The AL West-leading Rangers made two major moves.

After Lucroy used his limited no-trade clause to block a deal to Cleveland, the All-Star catcher was sent to Texas.

The 30-year-old Lucroy is batting .299 with 13 homers and 50 RBIs this season.

Texas also got Beltran, a proven postseason star, from the New York Yankees for righty Dillon Tate, the fourth overall pick in the 2015 amateur draft, and two other pitching prospects.

Twice before in his career, Beltran was traded in midseason to a team with playoff hopes.

Like the Rangers, Beltran has been to the World Series but never won the crown.

The Yankees kept reworking their roster, trying to turn the best parts of a .500 team into a bright future.

They had already traded relief aces Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller leading up to the deadline.

As always, relievers were in demand.

The Giants aimed to bolster a shaky bullpen by getting Will Smith from Milwaukee, Boston got Fernando Abad from Minnesota and the NL Central-leading Cubs obtained sidearming righty Joe Smith from the Angels.

The Cubs previously got lefties Chapman and Mike Montgomery for their bullpen.

“That was an area we thought we could make some changes,” general manager Jed Hoyer said.

The banged-up Mets acquired Bruce, the All-Star outfielder who leads the NL with 80 RBIs, from Cincinnati for infielder Dilson Herrera and minor league lefty Max Wotell.

The Mets also got pitcher Jon Niese, who spent his first eight years in New York, from Pittsburgh for reliever Antonio Bastardo.

The contending Los Angeles Dodgers fortified their rotation by getting Rich Hill along with outfielder Josh Reddick from Oakland for three pitching prospects.

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is on the disabled list with back trouble, and they don’t know when he’ll be back.

The 36-year-old Hill is 9-3 with a 2.25 ERA in 14 starts and on the DL because of a blister on the middle finger of his throwing hand that hasn’t healed.

Toronto was busy, making three deals.

A day after falling out of the AL East lead, they got Liriano from Pittsburgh.
