Four arrested in Knoxville drug bust

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

One such program is Home Base Iowa, described here by its director, Kathy Anderson, in her April visit to Newton, and the Veterans Administration introduced a retraining program this week.

VA launches new no-cost training programs Learning-hub system also has online possibilities

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A new Department of Veterans Affairs program attempts to ensure the large number of people discharging from active duty over the next few years will have the skills for technology-heavy jobs in the private sector.

Wednesday, the U.S. Veterans Affairs announced the launch of two new no-cost training programs, Accelerated Learning Programs and VA Learning Hubs, to help transitioning servicemembers and veterans from all eras learn skills, earn credentials, and advance in civilian careers following separation from service.

The programs are part of the Veterans Economic Communities Initiative, promoting education and employment opportunities for Veterans through integrated networks

of support in 50 cities.

Jasper County Veterans Affairs Director Chris Chartier said he supports the initiative.

“This is a huge opportunity for veterans who have no education benefits,” Chartier said. “The information was just released yesterday, and as we get more information, I will certainly pass it on. This needs to get out to as many Veterans as possible, as the need — especially for older Veterans still in the workforce — is tremendous.”

The VA launched the VECI program in response to President Obama’s August 2014 challenge to help Veterans and families integrate with their communities and find meaningful jobs that can lead to economic success. Under VA Secretary Robert McDonald’s transformation, VECI is now in place in cities across the United States.

There are about 25 cities that are already listed as part of the program, including Chicago, Kansas City and St. Louis.

Online options are available for those who don’t live near one of the hubs.

McDonald, in a news release, said planning ahead is a critical element of discharging from active duty.

“My message to transitioning Servicemembers is simple: Plan early and stay engaged, because transition is the mission,” said McDonald. “These two new resources provide nocost opportunities for our transitioning servicemembers and veterans to learn new skills and earn credentials, which can increase their competitiveness during their transition.”

ALPs offer transitioning Servicemembers and Veterans the opportunity to build on

Chrysler building ready for business

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The new Chrysler building is complete and ready to go at Noble All-American in Newton. The project began last fall, houses the Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep franchise at the 2020 W. 20th St. S. location.

“I acquired the Chrysler franchise about three years ago and at that time I told them I would build a separate building for Chrysler,” President Nick Nichols said. “I am thrilled; I am elated with how it turned out. Sales have picked up, and we are able to concentrate and assign a manager to each brand. It gives the manager more opportunity to focus on their brands.”

The building was originally planned for the north side of

The board will consider approval of construction documents for a remodel of the building, which will become the district’s administration center, and send the project out for bid at Monday’s regular meeting, set for 6:30 p.m. in the Emerson Hough conference room.

the property, close to the interstate, but it was found there was not enough room to house the building in the area. Nichols purchased two additional lots to the south of the current dealerships and placed the expansion there.

Due to the wet

spring, the final completion was delayed by about 30 days, but otherwise, everything went to plan and he was very pleased with the work done.

“We had poured half of the parking lot and just couldn’t finish it because of the rain.

Otherwise things went

smooth and within the budget,” Nichols said.

“We tried to hire as many local subcontractors as possible. A lot of them are our customers so we wanted to use as many of our customers and local people as possible.”

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Now that the design phase of a major Newton Community School District renovation project appears to be wrapping up, it’s time for the board of education to put the project out for bid.

At Monday’s regular meeting, set for 6:30 p.m. at the Emerson Hough conference room, a few of the

agenda items are related to the renovation of the future administration building. The agenda includes a consideration to approve construction documents and to authorize the architect — FRK Architects & Engineers of Des Moines — to receive bids for the Newton Administration Center, as the building is now titled.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News From the left, Chloe Pak, Kaelee Knoll, Ariel James, Sierra Griffith, Tiffany Morris and Erica Van Wyk (who is wearing a stiped shirt), rehearse Tuesday with the Cardinal Regiment, the Newton High School marching band. The band held its annual camp this week. The Regiment has 25 seniors this year — a much larger senior class than in 2014-15 — and for the second consecutive year, there are more than 50 freshmen in the band.

Newton Cardinal Regiment will have large senior, freshman classes Camp held this week has 134 participants

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News “Dup, dup ... dup, dup, dup dup ...”

Those are the “words” spoken as the Cardinal Regiment counts in before starting a measure of marching-band practice during this week’s camp. The 134-member Newton High School marching band — including the flag corps — spent its mornings and afternoons of this week getting ready for the 2016-17 season, enduring the elements on the practice fields located on the east edge of the NHS campus.

“By the time we’re done, these kids will have performed

in all sorts of conditions,” said fourth-year director Jim Beerends. “This is the largest group we’ve had since I’ve been here.”

The Cardinal Regiment had about 120 members last year.

Its first public performance of 2015-16 will be when the Cardinal varsity football team plays its home opener against Marshalltown on Sept. 4.

Beerends said two of the major highlights of the 201415 year were honoring seniors and performing well at a competition in Waukee last fall, and the way the band performed in large-group state competition in the spring, where it earned two perfect scores.

Last year, there were more than 50 freshmen in the group, Beerends said, and there are 53 more this year. A growing band is a challenge, but one he appreciates — especially since this year’s sophomores appear to have made tremendous strides.

“It’s amazing how far a kid can go in one year of marching,” Beerends said. “There are

second-year band members out here now that look like they’ve been doing it for four years.”

There were only 12 seniors in last year’s band, but the NHS Class of 2016 will have about 25 seniors in the band.

One of those seniors is Kate Wyre, who shares drum-major duties with fellow senior Evelyn Berryhill and junior Katherine Thorpe.

“You kind of have to love music,” Wyre said. “People in band come from everywhere.

There are so many different types of students here.”

Wyre began playing saxophone in the fifth grade, and will be a four-year member of the band. Another senior starting her fourth year of band is drum line squad leader Leah Hunter, who said the social aspect of band is an important part of the experience.

“All of my friends are in band,” Hunter said. “Band is a big part of my life, and having your friends in something you spend so much time on; that’s super cool.”

However, Hunter said, it’s important to remember the element that brought the band together in the first place: the music.

“The music is so awesome,” she said.

The band got together for a brief day camp in preparation for marching in the Fourth of July parade, and about 15 percent of the Regiment members also play summer concerts with the Newton Municipal Band. But this week’s camp is more like football two-a-days, with morning and afternoon sessions.

Tuesday morning, the band had instruments in hand, and after a few runs of simple footwork, added music to the routine.

“There are three things we’re trying to work on,” Beerends said. “Learning, memorizing and rehearsing the music; getting good, fundamental marching and transitions down; and matching music and marching together, visual and audio, in what we call a ‘drill package.’”

The band’s fall 2015-16 schedule includes all five home regular-season football games, the Sept. 24 Homecoming parade, trips to four outdoor band festivals and hosting their indoor Nov. 19 Fall Festival of Music. Their winter concert is Dec. 7, and there are about six jazz-festival trips scheduled between December and March.

Beerends said he’s grateful to all the Newton Community School District who help make such a robust music program possible. He said it makes a difference when students are involved with music in the late-elementary and middle-school years.

“It’s a spiral curriculum, that all leads up to this (high school performances),” he said. “It’s a rough process to learn what we teach, but once you get it, you’ve got it. You never lose it. It’s like riding a bicycle.”

Iowa teachers get summer lessons through ‘externships’ INDEPENDENCE (AP) — A summer “externship” program is allowing Iowa STEM teachers to work side-by-side with industry employees so they can gain a better understanding of those fields and help prepare students for potential careers.

Participating teachers in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields earn a stipend and a graduate credit through the Iowa Governor’s STEM Advisory Council program, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported.

This is the seventh year the council has operated the program, which wrapped up last month. Almost 40 teachers completed work, ranging

from manufacturing to data analysis, at businesses across Iowa.

“We just try to match the teachers’ skills and abilities with what the company has to offer,” said Jason Lang, a program supervisor with the council’s Real World Externships for Teachers.

“The teachers get a chance to use the content knowledge that they have and apply it to the business setting. What they leave with in the end is less about the content and more about the skills students need to have in the workforce.”

Cedar Falls High School industrial technology teacher Chad Anderson learned more about computer numerical control, or CNC, machining

during an externship at Geater Machining & Manufacturing, Co., which makes more than 7,000 parts annually for the aerospace and defense industries.

Anderson worked in a prototype machining cell at Geater for six weeks, learning from machinists as they tweaked and adjusted computer programs to ensure the metal components they were creating met exact specifications. After his experience and in light of the demand for manufacturing workers in the Cedar Valley, Anderson said he’ll advocate for expanding the CNC program at the high school, which he said has limited equipment.

“We need to reflect the industry a

little better,” he said.

Geater just completed its second year with the externship program, and the company’s human resources manager, Molly Mummelthie, said the major benefit “is to create those partnerships with the schools.”

Company officials believe teachers in the program will help correct misconceptions about manufacturing that sometimes keep students from considering the career field.

“If we can use the teachers to pass the information along . I think that would be a strong point,” said Rendall Wilharm, who oversaw Anderson’s work at Geater. “I’ve got a lot of confidence in Chad.”

The 44-minute film from award-winning director James Moll follows the lives of farmers and ranchers in their twenties, all of whom are now responsible for running their farming business. The film explores the risks and rewards associated with farming and the passion that is passed down from generation to generation.

“Many Americans have never set foot on a farm or ranch,” said Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation executive director Will Fett. “Few have met or talked to the people who grow and raise the food we eat. This film will let them connect with modern agriculture in a whole new way.”

The event will help attendees of

Veterans Continued from Page 1A their world-class training and technical skills gained through their military service, and earn certifications in high-demand fields. The VA is piloting ALPs this summer with seven courses focusing on building skills and certifications needed to advance in high-demand careers in information technology.

Each ALP course is offered at no cost and includes free referral and support services..

Transitioning servicemembers and veterans are invited to apply to their choice of courses.

Applications will be accepted beginning Aug. 17. ALPs do not involve use of the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

Students are able to participate in these programs while also pursuing other programs of study using Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits.

VA is also launching Learning Hubs in 27 cities across the country this year in partnership with the American Red Cross, The Mission Continues and Coursera, an online education platform. Transitioning Servicemembers and Veterans can take advantage of both online and in-person study.

Each week, online course modules will be completed outside the classroom while class sessions, led by Learning Hub facilitators, provide opportunities to discuss course materials with peers, hear from subject matter experts, and network.

With thousands of veterans expected to enter civilian life over the next five years, the VA’s programs are part of a larger state and federal effort to house and employ veterans stateside.

Home Base Iowa is a state-funded program that provides qualifying criteria to get on a list of Iowa communities that are veteran-friendly, and Jasper County is in the process of attaining that certification.

Milwaukee with the Malotts

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Aug. 7, 2015

Have you ever been to Milwaukee? When my mom asked me where I wanted to go for my birthday, I told her “Milwaukee.” I’m thankful she agreed because we enjoyed ourselves tremendously.

We wanted to go somewhere new, and I was turning 30, so there it was — Milwaukee — the only metropolitan Midwest city I hadn’t spent time in.

Milwaukee has a range of activities to offer, and it’s a beautiful city.

It’s on Lake Michigan, is home to the Miller Brewing Company, Pabst Brewing Company and the Milwaukee Brewers, which aren’t good this year but who cares, it’s major league baseball. There’s also a Harley Davidson Museum and the Milwaukee County Zoo. Every place we went, whether a restaurant like Rodizio Brazilian Steakhouse (my favorite) or Harbor House, or even the dentist, was fantastic. Yes, we even went to the dentist — it’s a long story. We love Wisconsin the more we go.

Here are the top five places we visited last week:

5. Milwaukee Art Museum The museum is beautiful in bright white, tall ceilings and minimal design. It’s located on the coast separated only by a nice trail occupied with a continuous flow of runners, bikers and walkers. The museum’s permanent collection was temporarily closed so we went to the “Van Gogh to Pollock: Modern Rebels” exhibit. I love the post-impressionism work of Georges Seurat and van Gogh, and it also included well-known modernism, surrealism and pop art pieces too.

4. Milwaukee Public Market The market was a city highlight because of the quality and variety of products available. The market wasn’t overwhelmingly large but still diverse in food and shopping vendors as well. It including seafood, foreign food, juicers, a bakery, coffees and of course, cheese. We went around noon and the place was populated with downtown workers on their lunch break, a blend of white collar business and

blue collar construction.

3. Miller Brewing Company Driving into Miller Valley is very welcoming and so is the free hour and a half long tour through their factory. It’s the second largest brewery in the country and produces many brands besides Miller such as Coors, Blue Moon and Leinenkugel’s. The tour starts out with a short video and then takes you on a walking tour through shipping, bottling, brewing and even the old caves. I don’t drink, but I still had a great time. Fun fact: 40 percent of the Milwaukee production is trucked solely to Chicago. That’s huge.

2. Lake Michigan Milwaukee wouldn’t be what it is without the beaches, yacht clubs, boats, marina and parks along the coast of Lake Michigan. The atmosphere feels calmer than many cities because Milwaukee, in comparison, isn’t that large. It’s quiet and uncrowded, yet still used for recreation. We spent hours there

on the lake just enjoying the scenery and walking the shore. The lake breeze is lovely combined with the warm July summer sun is perfect for a tourist.

1. Miller Park One item on my bucket list is to visit every Major League Baseball stadium in the Midwest so I was excited to cross off one of those with my mom this summer at Miller Park. She surprised me tickets to the Brewers v. Cubs game, in what were about the best seats in the packed house with my name on the big screen wishing me “Happy Birthday.” We had some memorable grandstand food and watched a very fun game together.

Milwaukee is friendly, cultural and alive. It was a wonderful place to celebrate a summer birthday.

A special thanks to my mom for making an unforgettable birthday and wonderful experience.

The Uprising

Hillary runs from free trade record

Supporters of diplomacy over war must speak up

By Kevin Martin and Phyllis Bennis Members of Congress are fleeing Washington’s steam bath for their August recess, making this a key time for constituents to raise their voices on crucial issues.

Right now, the biggest thing lawmakers must decide is whether they’ll join the 54 percent of voters who support diplomacy over war, or if they’d rather to kill the Iran nuclear deal.

The pact is a boon to regional security in the Middle East. The leader of Israel, the only state in the Middle East that does have a nuclear arsenal — one estimated to total 300 or even more nuclear weapons — must cease his endless scare-mongering over Iran’s supposed future nuclear threat.

As military and intelligence experts from around the world have agreed, this diplomatic breakthrough subjects Iran to unprecedented inspections of its nuclear and military facilities.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the so-called pro-Israel lobby in this country are going allout to blow up the Iran deal — but that’s a big political miscalculation.

How does being seen as scuttling the deal serve Israel’s interests? As Secretary of State John Kerry said, if the deal collapses, “Israel could actually wind up being more isolated and more blamed.”

Add the recent announcement of further settlement expansion in the occupied Palestinian territories, as well as Tel Aviv expectation of “compensation” for the Iran deal

and a vast increase in its multi-billion dollar U.S. military aid, and we have to conclude that the Israeli government has no vision of a future based on anything other than constant aggression and occupation, instability and fear.

How is that a sustainable path for future generations of Israelis?

The deal negotiated with Iran by the U.S. and other permanent UN Security Council members, plus Germany and the European Union, is very strong. It cuts off all paths for Iran to build a nuclear weapon (if indeed Tehran ever decided it wanted to, a decision all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies agree it has not made).

This is a landmark non-proliferation agreement with intrusive inspections and verification measures, which is why there is consensus support from nuclear security experts and the leaders of six of the most powerful countries in the world, including key U.S. allies.

Only after UN inspectors certify compliance will Iran gradually get much-needed relief from crushing international economic sanctions, which have devastated life for ordinary Iranians.

Viewed through a broader lens, the agreement could open a new U.S.-Iran relationship. Economic, cultural, and travel opportunities could flourish between our peoples. Security cooperation could begin between Washington and Tehran, reflecting our shared interests in bringing urgently needed peace and stabilization in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and beyond.

Further, the deal marks a step towards a desperately needed weapons of mass destruction-free zone in the Middle East, a goal endorsed by the United States and the UN Security Council in 1991 but which Israel continues to oppose.

The agreement makes all this and more possible. But the deal is in danger.

If Republicans — nearly all in lock-step opposition while offering no realistic alternative — and “pro-Israel” Democrats vote to kill it, all bets are off. The only thing we can be sure of if the deal fails is increased tensions, and a likely ratcheting up of the conventional and unconventional arms races in the Middle East.

Another war in the war-devastated area would be disastrous for Americans, Iranians, and all the peoples of the region.

Supporters of diplomacy over war must make our voices heard over the din of nay-saying interest groups with deep pockets.

The pro-Israel lobby AIPAC recently set aside$20 million to saturate newspapers and the airwaves with calls to kill the deal.

Members of Congress are heading home for their summer break. We all need to show up at their town hall meetings and visit, call, and email their district offices to demand they support diplomacy over war.

Phyllis Bennis is an Institute for Policy Studies fellow and Kevin Martin is the Executive Director of Peace Action.

To that end, she at- By David Sirota tempted to distance herself last week from a controversial 12-nation trade deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which would set the rules of commerce for roughly 40 percent of the world’s economy.

As with similar business-backed trade pacts, labor unions, environmental groups and public health organizations are warning that the deal could result in job losses, reduced environmental standards, higher prices for medicine and more power for corporations looking to overturn public interest laws. And so, in her quest for Democratic primary votes, Clinton is suddenly trying to cast herself as a critic of the initiative.

“I did not work on TPP,” she said after a meeting with leaders of labor unions who oppose the pact. “I advocated for a multinational trade agreement that would ‘be the gold standard.’ But that was the responsibility of the United States Trade Representative.”

The trouble, of course, is that Clinton’s declaration does not square with the facts.

CNN has reported that during her tenure as U.S. secretary of state, Clinton publicly promoted the pact 45 separate times. At a congressional hearing in 2011, Clinton told lawmakers that “with respect to the TPP, although the State Department does not have the lead on this — it is the United States Trade Representative — we work closely with the USTR.” Additionally, secret State Department cables published by the

website WikiLeaks show that her agency — including her top aides — were deeply involved in the diplomatic deliberations over the trade deal.

In a series of cables in late 2009 and 2010, State Department officials outlined their extensive discussions about the pact with government officials from New Zealand. At one point, State Department officials in that country requested an additional employee to specifically “allow the Economics Officer to focus on preparations for Trans-Pacific Partnership trade negotiations.”

Similarly, a September 2009 cable detailed Clinton’s Deputy Secretary of State, James Steinberg, specifically discussing the TPP with Vietnam’s Deputy Prime Minister. In a November 2009 cable, the U.S. embassy in Tokyo detailed TPP discussions between Japanese government officials and Robert Hormats, a former Goldman Sachs executive who was then serving as Clinton’s undersecretary of state. In a December 2009 cable, State Department officials in Hanoi reported that the U.S. Ambassador “hosted a dinner on December 21 for Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement country representatives.” The cable thanked the Clinton-run State Department for providing “regular updates” that “have been key to helping us answer the many TPP-related inquiries we receive.”

Meanwhile, in a January 2010 cable, State Department embassy officials in Kuala Lumpur advised Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Demetrios Marantis on strategies to negotiate the TPP with the Malaysian government.

The involvement of the Clinton-led State Department in the TPP is hardly surprising: In June, CBS News reported that “a senior administration official told CBS News Correspondent Julianna Goldman that Clinton was one of the biggest backers of TPP.”

Swimming pool lifeguards can’t be baby sitters too

DEAR ABBY: My daughter is a lifeguard at a local pool.

Caregivers, PLEASE take note: While she’s disciplining your child for dunking another, she cannot watch other children who might be struggling to catch a breath. You cannot possibly watch all the children you brought with you while you’re busy on your cellphone.

Yes, lifeguards save lives. But if the lifeguard has to be a disciplinarian and a baby sitter as well as do her own job, she might not see the baby who fell into the pool while you were flirting with the sexy guy sitting near you. Having a lifeguard present does not excuse parents from taking care of their children. Do YOUR job and prevent a tragedy from happening.

— VIGILANT IN NEW JERSEY DEAR VIGILANT: Thank you for reminding parents how important it is to watch their children at ALL times when they’re near water.

Too often we hear about the drowning death of a child because someone was distracted “for just a few moments.” I hope my readers will take to heart your important message.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 50-yearold gay man, out of the closet for 10 years. Throughout my life I have had to deal with low self-esteem and other issues. When I came out, my life changed dramatically for the better. However, I have never been in any kind of relationship. I never had a girlfriend when I was trying to pass for straight, nor have I ever had a boyfriend. Outside of immediate family, no one has ever said “I love you” to me. I’m the type of person who is instantly “friend-zoned.”

As I get older, I’m feeling lonelier and lonelier. Friends tell me I’m better off, because lovers just break your heart. I’m willing to risk that

for the opportunity to tell someone I love them and hear it in return, but at this point, I have no idea where to begin.

I have tried dating, but nothing has ever progressed beyond a first date. I don’t know if there’s something about my personality that makes me undatable or what. Do you have any advice? — ALONE IN MISSOURI DEAR ALONE: I doubt there is anything wrong with your personality. That you have never been in a relationship may have left you a little rough around the edges when it comes to romance.

I’m a firm believer that the more exposure someone has, the better the chances of finding what you’re looking for. If you aren’t active with a gay and lesbian community center, go online to lgbtcenters.org and research some in your area. You have to be “out there” for Prince Charming to find you. Join talk groups, fundraising groups, sports activities, and look into online dating. While you shouldn’t go around with “Needy” tattooed on your forehead, let your friends — gay and straight — know you’d like to meet someone nice.

Who knows? Maybe someone will have a brother — or an uncle.

Iowa man pleads guilty to threatening Boston Islamic group The Associated Press DAVENPORT — An Iowa man pleaded guilty Thursday to a federal hate crime after admitting he posted messages threatening to kill Muslims on the Facebook page of a Boston Islamic group.

Gerald Wayne Ledford of Clinton pleaded guilty to one count of transmitting threatening communication in interstate commerce.

The 57-year-old admitted to leaving two threats on the Facebook page for the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center in October. One included a photo of a man with a long gun and said, in part, “This is for you, followers of the (expletive) Mohamed.” The other said Muslims “will go to hell with you’re (sic) father satan” and that “we will destroy you here” and in other countries.

Under a plea agreement made public Thursday, Ledford admitted he targeted the group, which is located in Roxbury, Massachusetts, and operates a mosque and other services, because of its religious affiliation. That

means his recommended sentence under federal guidelines will be enhanced because of the hate crime motivation, according to the agreement.

Ledford left the messages after searching for information about the Islamic State and similar topics online. Weeks later, he shut down the Facebook account from which he sent the threats.

An official with the Boston group and another person who responded to the message viewed them as threats, which is what Ledford wanted, according to the plea agreement.

The plea deal calls for Ledford’s defense attorney and federal prosecutors to jointly recommend a four-year term of probation, with the first six months in home confinement.

U.S. District Judge Stephanie Rose isn’t bound by the recommendation, which gives Ledford credit for accepting responsibility after his indictment and arrest in June. The charge carries up to five years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 13.

The Associated Press FAIRFIELD — An Iowa judge said Thursday he made a mistake in ordering an ex-felon to pay $254 in court costs as part of an order that dismissed a voter fraud prosecution against her.

After The Associated Press inquired about the issue, District Judge Randy DeGeest said he would amend the order against Cheri Rupe and instead assess those court costs to the state.

Jefferson County Attorney Tim Dille had charged Rupe with first-degree election misconduct for voting in the 2012 presidential election at a community center in Batavia despite a prior felony conviction that made her ineligible. The case was part of a politically charged two-year state investigation that led to charges against ex-felons

and non-citizens who voted.

Like other felons facing charges, Rupe’s attorney argued her client believed she was eligible and her mistake wasn’t corrected by poll workers.

Iowa has suffered from widespread confusion around felon voting rights since January 2011, when Gov. Terry Branstad issued an executive order requiring offenders who complete their sentences to apply for voting rights instead of getting them back automatically.

After 2.5 years of delays, Dille moved to drop the case against Rupe on June 29 “in the interest of justice” but asked DeGeest to assess costs against Rupe. Dille defended his decision to ask for those costs and said it was up to the judge’s discretion. DeGeest granted the order, and Rupe was assessed $254.

DeGeest said that was a mistake. He said that costs are assessed against defendants when cases are dismissed only when that is consented to in advance, and that wasn’t the case with Rupe. Otherwise, costs should be assessed against the state, he said.

DeGeest said he was surprised Rupe’s attorney, Victoria Siegel, hadn’t brought the mistake to the court’s attention. After Rupe didn’t pay and failed to respond to a July 15 notice, court officials last week sent the debt to third-party collection.

Siegel, who has recently closed her law practice, said she was so thrilled to learn of the case’s dismissal that she had overlooked the erroneous fine for her client.

“I didn’t happen to see it, but I’m very glad you did,” she told the AP.

2 Saylorville Lake beaches close due to toxic algae bloom JOHNSTON (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says two beaches at Saylorville Lake are closed due to a blue-green algae bloom that could be harmful to people and pets.

Routine water quality

monitoring performed at the lake identified high levels of a compound produced by blue-green algae under certain environmental conditions that can cause illness through direct skin contact, by ingesting the water or

by breathing airborne water droplets.

The compound called microcystin can cause skin reactions, gastrointestinal pain, breathing problems or liver damage.

Public health officials recommend no swim-

ming, wading or boating in areas where the water is covered with scum, is bright green or blue in color, or smells bad.

The corps oversees the lake 11 miles northwest of Des Moines and announced the beach closings on Thursday.

HOW WE MADE THE GYRAFOAM

Now Available!

ONLY $19.99 plus tax

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available for pre-order at the Newton Daily News. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926. Maytag once commented about Snyder that "90% of everything we make or improve upon is because of him." At the time of Snyder's death in 1927, Maytag lamented "I feel that I am losing a companion, my pal and dearest friend that I ever had."

Visions of Sprint Cup racing dancing in their heads

Troy Hyde/Daily News The south end zone project at Jack Trice Stadium is complete and ready for fans to improve the seating capacity to around 61,000 this upcoming season. The Cyclones also hope to improve their win total from 2014, a season in which ISU finished 2-10 overall and went winless in the Big 12 Conference.

Iowa State’s Rhoads enters pivotal season this fall AMES (AP) — Iowa State has long been considered by some as a “coaching graveyard” for football, a school with a small budget and small stadium compared to the rest of the Big 12.

Coach Paul Rhoads is in danger of becoming its latest victim.

Rhoads burned through much of the goodwill he built up early in his tenure with back-to-back losing seasons. The Cyclones went 3-9 in 2013 and 2-10 and winless in the Big 12 last year.

Most people don’t seem to believe Iowa State will be better in 2015. The Cyclones were picked ninth in the media’s Big 12 preseason poll released in July.

If Iowa State can’t surpass such lackluster expectations, it might be looking for a new coach in December. The Cyclones open against FCS rival Northern Iowa on Sept. 5.

“We haven’t shied away from the adversity that we went through and what caused it. If you don’t learn from it, you’re not growing.

You’re not improving. Our guys have,” Rhoads said Thursday during the team’s annual media day.

Until recently, Rhoads and the Cyclones seemed

like a perfect match.

As a native Iowan and an assistant under former Cyclone coach Dan McCarney, Rhoads understood

as well as anyone the challenge of competing against the likes of Texas and Oklahoma at a school with a disparate recruiting footprint.

Rhoads started strong, earning bowl bids in three of his first four seasons that CYCLONES | 2B

Iowa to wrestle Oklahoma State at Kinnick DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa wrestling team has grown tired of Penn State’s hold on the NCAA record for single-match attendance.

The Hawkeyes are going outside to bring that mark back to Iowa City.

Iowa announced Thursday that it will host Oklahoma State in the first NCAA match to be held in a Division I football stadium.

The Hawkeyes will face the Cowboys on Nov. 14 at Kinnick Stadium for “Grapple on the Gridiron,” an effort to break the record for the largest crowd for a single dual meet.

It’s currently held by

Penn State at nearly 16,000 — or about 500 more than Iowa’s Carver-Hawkeye Arena can hold.

Iowa’s football team will host the rival Minnesota Gophers in the 70,000seat Kinnick Stadium later that night. “ P e n n State has broken it twice now. They broke it and then they broke their own record,” Iowa coach Tom Brands said. “It’s time to go to Kinnick.”

Iowa announced the event Thursday on Twitter, saying the team was “excited to introduce Cowboy

Wrestling to Hayden Fry Psychology” while posting a picture of Iowa’s pink visiting locker room. Fry was Iowa’s football coach from 1979-98.

T h e Hawkeyes and Cowboys have a combined 57 national titles.

“Oklahoma State and Iowa is a historical match.

It’s got a lot of excitement to it,” Oklahoma State coach John Smith said.

“We usually wrestle it in January, and coach Brands called and said he wanted to change the date and put it on the football field. I said,

‘Let’s do it.’”

Weather might be an issue, with the average high for Iowa City that time of year around 50 degrees.

The Hawkeyes said they will move the meet indoors to their regular home, the 15,500-seat Carver-Hawkeye Arena, if the temperature falls below freezing or if rain or snow pass through the area.

Iowa also will host the Big Ten Conference Championships and the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in 2016.

“It doesn’t really matter hold cold it is,” Iowa wrestler Brandon Sorenson said.

“It’s a match...you’re bringing your ‘A’ game.”

When is Iowa Speedway getting a Sprint Cup race?

That has been the No. 1 question I’ve heard since coming to the Newton Daily News in July 2013. As I understand it — and understandable with the racing climate in Newton and Iowa — it has been the top question from Iowa Speedway’s opening By Jocelyn Sheets in 2006.

I just completed Newton Daily News my second full race season here, and I Sports Ediotr covered a couple of race weekends in 2013. With the great racing produced on Iowa Speedway’s 7/8-mile track in the final NASCAR Xfinity Series race a week ago, the quarries and comments spread across social media like wildfire.

In 2 1/2 years of covering NASCAR, IndyCar and other series of auto racing at Iowa Speedway, one thing is clear. Drivers do love racing here. It didn’t matter who the owner was of the Speedway, the track presented opportunities for drivers to do what they love the best — race and give fans a great show.

I had a one-on-one with Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small Tuesday. The answer to THE question is what it has been since NASCAR purchased the Speedway in November 2013.

“It’s not being discussed,” Small emphatically said. “Our fans want that (Sprint Cup) race here. We want what our fans want, so obviously, we are in support of it. But, there’s never been a conversation with me about a Sprint Cup race here from the sanctioning body. We haven’t turned down an offer, because there hasn’t been an offer.

“Our staff would welcome the opportunity for that race here. That the major drivers want to race here is a tribute to our staff, the businesses and the fans in this community and across the state.”

Yes, NASCAR owns Iowa Speedway, but it’s complicated. NASCAR purchased the facility in 2013 through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Iowa Speedway LLC., a privately-owned company. Yes, the France family owns NASCAR and ISC. NASCAR, as a sanctioning body, has to work with a 36-race schedule for Sprint Cup Series and two publicly owned companies — Speedway Motorsports International and International Speedway Corporation — which own a majority of the tracks Sprint Cup races run on.

Some tracks host two Sprint Cup events a season, which begins in February and ends in November. A track would have to give up one of its two races to accommodate a date in Iowa.

Most industry experts don’t see that happening any time soon.

Small kept pointing out the support Iowa Speedway has had, and continues to have, from fans, the City of Newton and the State of Iowa. He said racing fan support is one of the draws for drivers to come to the Speedway to compete.

Iowa Speedway opened in 2006 and hosted its first NASCAR national series events three years later with Brad Keselowski (Xfinity) and Mike Skinner (Truck Series) the inaugural Iowa winners. Joey Logano edged Kevin Harvick to win the first NASCAR event of any type at Iowa, capturing a K&N Pro Series event in May 2007.

Iowa Speedway was granted a state tax rebate of five percent state sales tax through 2016 with an expected $12.5 million benefit when the track first opened in 2006. The racetrack has recouped $3.5 million so far. In 2014, the Iowa Legislature agreed to waive a previous measure requiring the track be an Iowa-owned entity PRESSBOX | 2B

Former Hawk wrestler takes guilty plea in burglaries case IOWA CITY (AP) — A former University of Iowa wrestler has taken a plea deal in his Linn County burglaries case.

The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports that 19-year-old Ross Lembeck pleaded guilty to being an accessory to a felony and to drunken driving.

Prosecutors dismissed nine burglary counts and other charges in exchange for Lembeck’s pleas.

He was fined more than $1,300 last month and was ordered to serve a weekend program on drunken driving.

Lembeck is one of three former Hawkeye wrestlers arrested to face burglary charges after several vehicle break-ins in the city of Marion on March 18.

Ni n e t e e n - y e a r - o l d s Logan Ryan, of Bettendorf, and Seth Gross, of Apple Valley, Minnesota, have pleaded not guilty and are scheduled to begin trial on Sept. 14.

The team has dismissed all three wrestlers.

prompted athletic director Jamie Pollard to sign him to a 10-year, $20 million extension before the 2012 season.

But things fell apart in 2013.

A one-point loss to Texas — when what appeared to be a late Longhorns fumble was instead ruled a touchdown — began a seven-game slide.

Last season felt like it ended before it started.

The Cyclones opened with a 20-point loss to North Dakota State of the FCS and finished with a 55-3 loss to TCU. The Cyclones were so lightly regarded by December that the Horned Frogs were bumped out of the College Football Playoff despite beating Iowa State by 52 points.

Injuries have played a major role in Iowa State’s recent downturn.

The Cyclones had just four players start all 12 games last season, prompting the coaching staff to look to keep their players healthier this offseason.

“Decimated is an accurate word,” Rhoads said.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa State sophomore receiver Allen Lazard, who played high school football “We’ve examined all the at Urbandale, speaks to reporters at the Cyclones’ annual football media day at factors, and we’ve got a Jack Trice Stadium in Ames on Thursday. plan in place to work to

The Newton City Council approved an amended development plan for the Speedway in May 2013.

The goal of the amended development plan was to provide operating capital to the Iowa Speedway to upgrade existing infrastructure and to build new infrastructure in advance of an anticipated NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race event.

She played the piano and sang at several Eastern Iowa churches and conducted jail ministries.

“But the worst thing we could do is to focus on something completely out of our control and lose sight of a great 2016 season and 2017 season,” Small said. “We’re focusing on what we can control, which is improving the fan experience around the series, which have given us fantastic racing and finishes at Iowa Speedway.”

So, to all I say, keep dreaming, keep positive thoughts and support going — you never know what the future holds.

Spieth, Johnson five-shots off leader pace at Bridgestone AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Jordan Spieth was calm and content. Conversations with his golf ball were limited.

That’s when he knew something was wrong.

Spieth won the Masters and U.S. Open, along with two other PGA Tour titles this year, with a relentless intensity and animated instructions he gives his golf ball in flight. The Bridgestone Invitational was his first tournament since he missed the playoff at the British Open by one shot, ending his remarkable bid for a Grand Slam.

There was some rust, to be sure. But there was not much emotion.

His wedge to the opening hole was too strong, leaving him above the hole with a tough putt. He made a bogey on the par-5 second hole, the easiest at Firestone, with a poor sand wedge from a perfect distance. And on the next hole, from the left rough, his shot rattled through some branches and looked like it might go into the water. It barely reached the green, and he escaped with par.

Walking down the fourth fairway, he told caddie Michael Greller, “I need to get a little bit inspired right now.”

“I played these first three holes, and it didn’t bother me,” Spieth said after a birdie on his final hole for an even-par 70, tied with British Open champion Zach Johnson and five shots behind Danny Lee at 65. “And that should normally bother me the way I played them. Very lucky break on 3. That saved me at least a shot.”

He made birdie on the next hole and “I was

able to settle in.”

Spieth is on an amazing run. In his last four events over the last two months, he has won twice (U.S. Open and John Deere Classic), finished two shots behind at the Memorial and one shot behind at St. Andrews.

This is a World Golf Championship, though it also is somewhat of a rehearsal for the final major of the year next week at the PGA Championship.

Danny Lee hasn’t been at Firestone since 2009, when he won the Johnnie Walker Classic on the European Tour to qualify for this World Golf Championship. He got in this year by winning his first PGA Tour event at The Greenbrier Classic, and he fared much better.

Lee got his mistakes out of the way early on the back nine, played flawless on the front and shot a 65 for a one-shot lead.

“Back then, I was just happy shooting somewhere high 70s,” he said. “It was a very, very tough course for me back then, and it still is out there when your game’s not on. But it just feels a little bit more comfortable out here this year.”

Graeme McDowell is stuck in the worst slump of his PGA Tour career. It has been a full year since he had a top 10 in America. He is out of the top 50 in the world ranking for the first time in five years, and he is No. 159 in the FedEx Cup and in serious danger of missing the playoffs.

So yes, that 66 on Thursday came at a good time.

Jim Furyk also had a 66 that was far less imperative.

keep us healthy...and you need a little luck. That’s part of it.”

But even though Rhoads’ future at Iowa State seems somewhat shaky, a bounce-back season does appear possible.

The Cyclones return a senior quarterback, Sam Richardson, and one of the more talented receiving corps in the Big 12.

Iowa State also has an experienced secondary and plenty of intriguing prospects amongst its defensive lineman.

The coaching staff, including second-year offensive coordinator Mark Mangino, has settled in after a turnover-filled offseason prior to 2014. The schedule looks like its set up well for Iowa State, too.

A visit from rival Iowa appears to be the biggest challenge until TCU visits Ames on Oct. 17.

Rhoads said Thursday that the Cyclones are closer than they’ve been in the past, while alluding to “lapses” and “hiccups” in team chemistry in recent seasons.

The next step is tangible improvement on the field.

“We’ve said it a million times,” Richardson said.

“Winning is a habit. It’s a mindset.”

Astrograph

We make plans; Destiny laughs. That’s just the way it goes sometimes, but don’t let it stop you from making more plans. As Mercury slips into Virgo, the highly detailed sign of follow-through, Destiny gets more pressure to act normal, fly straight and show some good manners to humankind.

Plan. Plan away!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 7). Go for the long shot! Your bravery will be rewarded in many ways, starting with the companionship of a much-admired friend. September brings a landmark acquisition. You’ll sparkle and inspire others to be resourceful and creative in Oc-

tober, a financial high. You’ll ink a new deal in January.

Sagittarius and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 24, 41, 10 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You don’t need to be confident to be effective. Some days you’re unsure of yourself, and it’s actually appropriate for the situation. A lack of confidence can help you learn all you can from the situation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Though a cynical view may be more intelligent and snark can be hilarious, kindness cannot be overrated. It’s connected to compassion, patience and,

ultimately, love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Some believe weakness should be rejected, stomped out, eliminated. Others think weakness can be turned into strength. You believe weakness must be turned into strength.

It’s the only way to greatness.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

There was a time when you didn’t feel you had a right to express yourself. Now you see that speaking your mind and asking for what you need are ultimately better for everyone.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Like oxygen fuels a fire, what you lack fuels your ambition.

Therefore, when you’re sad or angry about what you lack, it’s

EOE your choice. You could also apply another emotional tone to the situation -- for instance, determination.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Most of the time you don’t find yourself in a horrible situation you must endure. That’s why boredom is a bigger threat than any other these days and one you’ll stave off with the help of an Aquarius.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

When you look at something long enough, you start to unsee it. It’s the primary reason people don’t constantly celebrate the beauty of their hometown and family members take one another for granted.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The bigger obstacles need to be handled with a lever. Look around. What can you use to dislodge this? “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” -- Archimedes SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The day favors good habits. There’s one that’s quickly becoming part of your regular routine. Soon this will be deeply ingrained in your manner, and people will see it as “so you.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll soon make the effort to see someone, and that intention, plus the scheduling, travel, parking, etc., will be, in and of itself, a gift. And yet,

you still need to bring a gift.

You’ll find the perfect one today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Usually, you’re the one who has to come up with a plan. Today, someone you trust will present you with ideas you would be wise to accept.

Excellent!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You like to be liked, but you don’t need it. That’s why, when you catch yourself subconsciously working for the approval of an authority figure, it bothers you on a deep level.

Remember that, ultimately, you are the boss of you.
