ABUSE | 3A

DES MOINES — Andrea Frier and her 12-yearold daughter Kirsten, of Colfax, finished a rainbow sprinkled vanilla ice cream cone as they walked through the dairy cattle barn Thursday on day one of the 2016 Iowa State Fair.

Kirsten said ice cream from The Daily Barn is not only her favorite food but her favorite part of the fair. For Andrea and her family, a trip to the famous Dairy Barn is rooted in tradition.

“My dad always bought us the first ice cream cone of the fair,” Andrea said. “Now that he’s gone we still always have the Dairy Barn ice cream. That’s our family moment.”

After Wednesday’s wet kickoff parade through downtown Des Moines and a rainy start Thursday, the sun came out for day one of the Iowa State Fair by lunchtime.

The first day of the fair featured the twins and triplets contest and talent show on the Anne and Bill Riley Stage, a dairy cattle exhibitions and, of course, every food you can think of fried and on a stick.

Rachel Tigges is co-founder of a tech start-up in New York City, but she’s originally from Caroll.

She came home just to go to the Iowa State Fair and hasn’t been in 15 years.

A bit windblown after a trip down the Giant Slide with her infant niece Marion Tigges of Urbandale, Rachel said there are a few things that are must-see before she heads back east.

“The slide was very fun, but the corn dogs and seeing the Butter Cow are on my list,” she said.

Corey Popp and Cory Schmidt were two other out-of-staters who traveled in for the Iowa State Fair.

At the dairy barn the 22 and 16-year-old two dairy cattle producers from St. Cloud, Minn. were spraying sheen on their Ayrshire cow before Thursday’s dairy cattle show in the pavilion.

Council to consider electric motorcycle buy for NPD

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Newton City Council will look to accept a $26,000 grant from Alliant Energy to purchase an electric police motorcycle at its Monday meeting.

In July, Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess presented the idea of

purchasing an electric police motorcycle to be used by the department for various patrol areas.

With its smaller size, the motorcycle is ideal for patrolling parks and narrower roads not easily accessible by patrol cars.

The NPD partnered with Hometown Rewards to submit an

application to Alliant Energy as a part of its “Bright Ideas” grant opportunity. The grant is given to community projects that focus on energy efficiency and conservation, educate the public on existing and emerging technologies and establish or prove the effectiveness of a cutting-edge energy

West Fourth Street siren malfunctions a third time

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Thursday night, a warning siren located at Union Cemetery siren malfunctioned for a third time in recent months despite the City of Newton’s repeated efforts to resolve the issue.

A siren sounded when there was no immediate severe storm threat in the area. There were storms in central Iowa at the time, but there was no tornado or impending threat of that scale in Newton when the siren sounded.

In early July, after a storm warning siren malfunction that happened in the early hours of a weekday morning left residents confused and bitter, the city pinpointed the culprit siren that had recently been installed, and brought in the contracting installer put in some new internal components.

Future changes to emergency preparedness services areas were discussed by the Jasper County Board of Health on Tuesday. The Iowa Department of Public Health is currently involved with a process to rezone service areas throughout the state.

“They are going to take the funding and move it to a more regionalized structure,” Jasper County Health Department Administrator Becky Pryor said.

Currently, Jasper County is one of a few single coalition county’s in the state. Marion County is also a single coalition but Poweshiek, Tama and Marshall counties have a group coalition serving the three counties.

Under the new structure, Jasper County would be in a 24 county coalition with Polk County serving as the hub for the region.

A Newton man is charged with third-degree sexual abuse after allegedly waving down a woman’s car in rural Jasper County, jumping into her vehicle and then forcing several sex acts on her.

Cecil Williamson, 50, was charged Wednesday following the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office investigation of the report, which was made on July 26.

According to court documents, the victim said she was traveling westbound on Highway F48 when a man walking along the roadway Williamson jumped in front of her car and began waving his arms and yelling. The victim had her windows and sunroof open and Williamson was able to get into her car. She asked him to get out of her vehicle, but Williamson demanded she drive him to the Lion’s Den adult entertainment store, 7717 Highway F48 W. Williamson demanded she go into the store with him to buy sex toys, but when she refused the victim said Williamson twice forced her to perform oral sex on him. The victim reported he told her that “if she didn’t do what he wanted, bad things would happen to her.”

Preserve the Pride to host Berg open houses, tours Newton Daily News The public is invited to open houses and tours of the Berg Middle School hosted by the Preserve the Pride committee. These tours are in preparation of the Sept. 13 vote on a $26.9 million bond referendum that would allow the Newton Community School District to build a new 5-8 middle school in Newton.

The four open houses are from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Tuesday; 5:30 to 7 p.m., Aug. 30 and 5:30 to 7 p.m., Sept. 1; and one from 1:30 to 3 p.m. on Sept. 11.

Citizens will be able to ask question of the committee as well as tour the building. During the tour learn about the condition of the building and the challenges our teachers and students are faced with each and every day.

The current Berg Middle School — built in the early 1960s — offers limited capability with regard to adapting to modern and future education best practices. The tour will allow citizens to see the need for a new middle school first hand. Wiring, electrical wiring and controls, mechanical and HVAC systems, lighting technologies, room structures, space allocations and accessibility are just a few of many environmental factors that are out of date in the current building, hampering the growth and progress in educating throughout the community.

The vote for the bond takes place on from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sept. 13 at Jasper County Community Center, 2401 First Ave. E. in Newton.

Visit www.preservethepride.com to learn more about the bond referendum and the efforts needed in our community to ensure all students learn to think, innovate and succeed.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Jane Johnson gives her group some instructions at the start of recent choir camp held at the Newton Public Library. The camp was funded partly by local organizations and businesses.

Youth Chorus funding revives summer singing Local business donations also helpful

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A recent children’s choir camp used to be a regular staple of summer activities, Jane Johnson said.

After some years of not holding the camp, this year, more than 20 youth were able to participate in a camp, held in a meeting room at the Newton Public Library, the week of July 25, aided by funding from the Iowa Youth Chorus and some generous local support from Newton Rotary and the Jasper County Arts Connection.

There was no charge to young singers or their families for the camp.

Jane Johnson, a longtime Newton-area music teacher, said she isn’t exactly sure when the choir camp was last held in Newton, but she would certainly like to see it again become a regular staple of summer activities in the area.

“It had kind of fallen by the wayside,” Johnson said. “I’m just glad we didn’t have to turn anyone away this year.”

The camp, held over four evenings, included at least 8.5 hours of instruction, Johnson said. A final performance, including a created musical based on a book of their choosing, will be presented to the

public on the fourth and final evening.

The final presentation turned out to be a musical based a story chosen from a library book by the group of young singers at the camp.

The group chose a story called “The Ant and the Grasshopper.” Johnson said the group also considered another story that has more speaking parts.

In-kind donations from Mattingly Music, Subway, McDonald’s, Domino’s Pizza and

Taco John’s were also made, Johnson said.

Most of the singers were from the Newton area, though there were some youth visiting from out of town.

“It really helped that (NPL Director) Nicole Lindstrom and her staff are so supportive,” Johnson said. “It’s so wonderful to still have so much backing for fine arts in this community.”

Newton Daily News Value Colleges.com ranked Des Moines Area Community College 10th on its annual list of the “Top 50 Best Value Community Colleges of 2016.”

Using data from College Measures, a Gates Foundation-supported database, Value Colleges evaluated 1,717 community colleges across the nation on tuition cost, graduation/transfer rates and graduate salaries and accreditation. DMACC placed 10th.

The Top 50 College ranking is derived from the highest scores which give a complete impression of how much each community college is worth, from cost to return (on investment).

The report highlighted DMACC’s many transfer agreements, number of degrees offered and national recognition for excellence.

The Value Colleges report noted the challenges that institutions and students face today. With university and college enrollments on the decline (in many places), and tuition rates going steadily higher and higher, there is concern in higher education that not enough people and are getting the education they need to compete in a tight labor market.

Approximately 45 percent of undergraduates in the United States today are enrolled at a community college. The other Iowa community college to be included in the Top 50 was Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs, placing 45th.

Local & State News Sirens Continued from Page 1A issue. Laube said RC Systems has come out to the Union Cemetery since the July 6 erroneous sounding to replace components of the siren.

The siren, which is activated by radio-frequency banding, has the same components and was installed by the same personnel as a siren at the corner of East 12th Street North and North 11th Avenue East, which has not malfunctioned at all.

“Thursday’s sounding was not triggered by emergency management or dispatch,” Laube said.

“I’m sure it’s frustrating to citizens because you can sometimes hear it inside a house, even though it’s an outdoor warning siren. We don’t want people to start disregarding sirens. We’ll have to have some discussions and see

what can be done.”

The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office and the Newton Police Department issued social media notices that the siren was malfunctioning and there was no tornado or other storm danger in the area. There was some heavy rain as the result of a storm, furthering confusion among residents.

There are about 12 sirens within the city of Newton. The Wireless Emergency Notification System (WENS) text and email alert system is not connected to the locally and automatically triggered sirens.

Newton Mayor Mike Hansen said he’s confident the Public Works department will do everything that can be done to resolve the dilemma.

“I would rather have a siren malfunction in this way than have it miss a serious storm, or have it shut down during a part of the year when we need

“Polk already has a six-county coalition that they are serving around them. Polk really was happy with their six counties that they have,” Pryor said. “The IDPH wants Polk to be hub county, but that doesn’t mean that Polk wants to do that.”

Happiness is a choice

Write On Kate Malott

Editor’s note: This column originally published Aug. 8, 2014 ast Wednesday was my birthday and I have to admit the week leading into it had me setting any birthday exceptions as low as ever.

I was turning 29 years old, an age I never thought would come, and I felt pretty apathetic and unenthused to it.

For most, 30 sounds like an eternity ago and I may sound naive and inexperienced, but for others, I’m aging myself.

Growing up, I always had a summer birthday party or ones family and friends would organize. That was nice. Throughout my 20s, I was surrounded by close friends, and since I

L

spent most of my 20s in college, I had time off for leisure or travel. That was nice. This year, however, was feeling all too ordinary and routine.

The past few weeks, I had been stressed about a few big changes in my life and the whole obligated joyfulness that seemed to coincide with one’s birthday was something I decided to dismiss this year. Instead of organizing something, I had decided to not do anything, that was up until a few days prior.

I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and make the most of my special day. If I wanted to have a great day, I was going to have to make it one.

A series of events led to the most terrific, unexpected birthday I’ve had yet.

• My mother planned on taking me out to dinner at Louie’s Wine Dive in Des Moines the day before. Her, fellow writer Ty Rushing and I hit the road and she informed me that there would be nine of us attending. As it turns out, she surprised me with some of my most beloved friends and treated us all to an amazing dinner and dining experience.

• A dear friend of mine, Kayla Simpson, recently started her own cupcake business so I decided on giving cupcakes out to coworkers sort of like a child does for classmates in elementary. They were the best.

• The night before, I made a little cupcake topper craft that had me feeling creative and productive too.

• My boss surprised me with a latte and blueberry muffin on my desk

when I arrived at work. Another unexpected and pleasant surprise, one that started my day off wonderfully.

• My close friend and travel buddy, Tessa Heeren, and I were going on a hot-air balloon ride adventure. I went on a whim and asked her two nights in advance if she would accompany me on the trip in Indianola. She easily agreed. It was an exciting, new and thrilling ride. The sites beautiful, the weather perfect and the crew fun.

Maybe that’s the key to happiness — low expectations. But maybe there’s another key to happiness — action.

It’s all up to you whether you want to have a good day or not. Now that I’m back to my optimistic ways, I realized that being happy is a choice. It’s not always easy but if you smile and have good thoughts then any day can be a birthday.

So Anyway Dana King

A life without convenience The last thing anyone wants is for the power to go out when it’s hot. How did people ever handle the heat “back in the day?”

A few weeks ago during one of the storms, our electricity went out — not such a rare event where I live but always annoying.

In the summer, although we don’t have the luxury of central air conditioning in our home, we do have several window units and a plethora of pedestal and ceiling fans to keep the house comfortable.

But as I sat there in the darkness, after merely two or three minutes, I could feel the sultry air creeping in through the walls. I thought I might have to go sit in my car for the rest of the evening with the A/C blasting. I couldn’t help but wonder how past generations had the stamina to withstand the oppressive heat and humidity with such grace. In other words, didn’t Grandma Walton ever sweat?

I used to be made of tougher stuff but as each year passes, not so much.

So anyway...

Hubby, college-kid and I were talking one evening about living off the grid … existing without the conveniences of utilities, without the modern day comforts of our “wants” and providing for ourselves our “needs.” You know … a real pioneering lifestyle.

The conversation didn’t go far before I owned up to the fact I couldn’t do it — nor would I even want to.

Heck, I get a little owly when I run out of Cinnabon coffee creamer!

I admit to being drawn to the idea of a life with complete freedom, our own utopia. But someone is going to have to do a lot of manual labor in “Kingsville,” and I guarantee it won’t be me.

However, in my younger day, I think I could have given it a real go. Seriously, I think I could have.

Remember the PBS series, “Frontier House” that aired about 14 years ago? It took three families and plopped them in a remote valley in Montana to live as settlers did in the 1880s. Each family was to run their own 160-acre homestead, from building their home and raising their own food, to finding a way to purchase supplies at the general store and bartering with neighbors for other items.

While watching those programs, I was confident at that time my family could have pulled it off. And to this day I still believe we would have succeeded ... 14 years ago.

Let’s face it, I’m not the only one enjoying a more mellowed lifestyle as the years have passed.

My mother, stopped for driving while black When the police pulled their guns on my mother, I reached for my phone and told her to be calm and do as they say.

My parents and I had just been swarmed by police cars, sirens blaring, as we drove on I-64 through Virginia. Shock and fear consumed my family as we came to a stop and were ordered out of the vehicle at gun point. A third car even showed up to stop traffic.

The officers then arrested my mother without any explanation.

I felt helpless.

As I questioned the police about why they stopped us, a family of three just driving along and minding our own business, a passing white motorist stopped his car. He gave the police officers a thumbs-up and told them, “We support the great job you’re doing.”

I was stunned.

My parents sought asylum in the United States from Eritrea many years ago. We work hard and obey the rules. But that’s not enough. In a sad twist of fate, our family has stumbled into institutional injustice in a new form.

Eventually the arresting officer accused my mother both of going too slow and eluding his siren for 10 miles. Three police cars, guns, and handcuffs for my middle-aged mom, apparently for going too slow on a highway.

Another View Milen Mehari Being too cautious seems to be yet another thing that can get you stopped for driving while black.

Two weeks later, police in Minnesota stopped Philando Castile for an alleged broken taillight. When Castile reached for his identification, he carefully told the cop his every move. To avoid any wrong assumptions, he explained that he had a license to carry a concealed weapon, which he had in the car.

Castile was then shot several times and killed. What was his crime? Is a broken taillight a reason to be shot? Is driving too slow a reason to be handcuffed at gunpoint, surrounded by three cop cars?

The mistreatment of black people by police officers isn’t new, nor is it surprising. According to the Justice Department, black people are almost four times more likely than whites to experience the use of force during police encounters.

Before Castile’s slaying by the St. Anthony Police Department, he’d been stopped by police over 50 times and acquired thousands of dollars in fines and fees. Cas-

tile’s mother had encouraged her son to complain about the police’s racial profiling. But like many black people, Castile chose not to.

Why bother reporting police harassment, they reason, to the very people who commit the assault?

During our eight-hour drive to Alleghany County Court, I remember being so confident that the judge would be on my mother’s side. The police had no evidence at all, and they’d plainly exposed my family to unnecessary emotional and financial hardship.

Surely, the judge would see that.

I was wrong. Not only was my mother found guilty of both counts, they also revoked her driver’s license. Our lawyer refused to press our case, demurring, “I’m not in the business of suing police officers.”

We are but one of thousands of black families in America who are targeted, profiled, fined, incarcerated, and — as we saw with Castile — sometimes killed by unaccountable police officers and a justice system that supports them.

The American dream can’t be a reality if the very color of our skin makes us criminals in the eyes of the law.

Milen Mehari is a Next Leader at the Institute for Policy Studies, where she researches the criminalization of race and poverty.

Letters to the editor regarding upcoming Newton school bond issue must be submitted by Sept. 2 for consideration for publication.

Ex-husband’s parade of dates interferes with his dad time DEAR ABBY: I have been divorced for a year and have two boys, ages 8 and 9. During this time, my ex-husband has introduced three different women to my children and recently introduced them to a new girlfriend he has been seeing for a few weeks. The first day that they met the girlfriend, he had the children spend the night at her place.

The woman has a 9-year-old son of her own.

I do not find this appropriate.

When I confronted my ex, he insisted that there is no problem with it. How long do you recommend someone wait before introducing children to the person he/she is dating? Am I wrong to be concerned about this? — CARING MOM IN KANSAS DEAR CARING MOM: Unless your ex is trying to teach his sons that relationships are revolving doors, he should slow down the traffic. They need to spend time with their father, not their father plus one. Occasionally having a female friend join him and the boys is all right, provided they understand she’s just a friend. But he shouldn’t have been diluting the time he was spending with the boys during this first year to the extent that he has because it sends the wrong message.

DEAR ABBY: My lesbian friend, “Giselle,” broke up with her significant other, whom she met over the internet.

They have actually never met in person because her girlfriend, “Samantha,” lives in Canada, but Giselle says they were soul mates. Samantha has moved on and now has another sweetheart, but Giselle won’t move on.

It has been many months and Giselle is still trapped in this bubble of sadness. She won’t stop talking about how much she loves Samantha. I kept reassuring her everything would be OK and maybe she would find somebody else like her internet friend did.

After a few months, she became angry with me, and accused me of not being supportive of her trying to get Samantha back. She also accused me

of not understanding “what girl-to-girl love is,” which makes no sense, considering that I’m bi.

This has been going on for nearly a year. Should I back off, or must I continue to be supportive of something I know can’t happen? — TRYING TO BE SUPPORTIVE DEAR TRYING: Giselle is angry at you not because you haven’t been supportive, but because she’s upset her feelings for Samantha aren’t returned.

This is called “displaced anger,” and you happen to be the nearest target.

Your life will be a lot more pleasant if you step out of the picture until Giselle figures out for herself that her romance has fizzled and decides for herself to move on.

DEAR ABBY: My son was cremated as he had requested, but he also asked that his ashes be spread far away from home, which would require us to take a long trip to do. Would it be disrespectful not to accommodate that part of his request? If we did that, we would have no part of him near or with us. Do you have an opinion? — SO FAR AWAY DEAR SO FAR AWAY: Yes, but first allow me to offer my condolences for the loss of your son. If you feel the need to have his cremains physically close to you, do what will bring you comfort. Divide the ashes, keep some of them and honor his wishes with the rest.

But in addition to attention, the signs gained criticism from some people who thought the signs made light of mental illness.

After two days of deliberations, the jury found Chris King guilty on Thursday. The victims, who ranged in age from 16 to 18, had said they met King through his photography business. King had maintained that sex with the girls was consensual, but prosecutors said the girls were incapacitated by alcohol King provided and unable to consent to sex.

Country crooner Bryant to take State Fair stage

Lawsuits show tense relations between police, blacks in Iowa

By Jessica Lowe Special to Newton Daily News

R

ising country star Chase Bryant is ready to take on the Iowa State Fair. The Texas native said he is excited about his upcoming performance tonight. “(It is going to be) entertainment,” Bryant said during a phone interview while on tour. “Up on stage there will be fun, angst and a lot of reckless energy. We will be putting on a show.”

Bryant’s ability to give an energetic performance is in his DNA. His family tree is filled with musicians including his grandfather who played keys for Roy Orbison and Waylon Jennings, and his uncles who founded ‘90s country group Ricochet.

“I grew up with music. (Music) is in my blood,” he said.

The “Take It On Back” and “Little Bit Of You” singer started writing songs when he was just 13. As a teenager he moved to Nashville to pursue a music career and made a splash as he was able to produce, write songs for and play for his own album.

“Somehow I got lucky enough to sign a publishing deal and started working on producing my own stuff because I didn’t have the money to go pay for cutting demos or cutting records,” he said. “I got lucky enough to write my own record, playing guitar on all the record, then producing the record itself. It has been a fun ride and had a lot of good opportunities.”

At just 23, Bryant has learned to write music that moves people.

Noting his musical influences including Tom Petty, Bryan Adams, Fleetwood Mac, Brooks & Dunn, Vince Gill and Keith Urban, helped him write music that listeners can

WATERLOO (AP) — The city with Iowa’s highest African-American population has settled lawsuits against white police officers who roughed up three black residents, including a 13-year-old girl who was handcuffed after yelling at a passing officer to “slow down.”

Videos obtained by The Associated Press in two of the cases show questionable uses of force

by Waterloo officers at a time when interactions between police and minority residents around the country are being scrutinized after several high-profile deaths of blacks at the hands of police.

In one, officer Mark Nissen slams 17-yearold Malcolm Anderson face-first into a concrete sidewalk outside a hospital and leaves him handcuffed and injured on the ground. In another, Nissen points his stun gun at a crowd of black residents before using it to shock 31-year-old Justin Jones, who had been helping police break up an early morning party outside his home.

In a third case outlined in court records, officer Timothy Everett took the 13-year-old girl to the ground and handcuffed her after she refused to give him her last name. Everett initiated the encounter after the girl yelled “slow down” after he sped by in his patrol car, pulling a U-turn to confront her about the comment.

The incidents occurred between 2013 and 2015, prompting lawsuits that were settled last month, according to court records. The settlements follow a $2.5 million payment that the city’s insurer agreed to in January with the family of a 22-year-old black man who was fatally shot by a white officer in 2012.

Sixteen percent of Waterloo’s 68,000 residents are African-American, but just two of the city’s 124 police officers are black, which can make for tense relations.

Waterloo’s insurer has agreed to pay $170,000 to settle the Jones and Anderson cases. An additional amount expected to go to the 13-year-old girl’s family hasn’t been released since the settlement needs approval from a judge.

Attorney Tom Frerichs, who represented all three plaintiffs, said he could only comment on two cases filed by Jones, who will receive $70,000 to settle the 2013 stun gun incident and a separate wrongful arrest in 2015. The other two cases include confidentiality agreements.

“The Jones cases reflect a serious and nearly complete lack of any meaningful disciplinary policy within the Waterloo Police Department,” Frerichs said, calling it a “recipe for disaster.”

In each case, charges that were filed against the suspects were later found to be meritless and dismissed. Yet internal affairs investigations justified the uses of force and found no violations of policy or law.

Jeff Johnson/BBR Music Group Rising country star Chase Bryant is one of 13 country acts performing free shows during the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. The “Little Bit Of You” artist will perform at 8 p.m. Friday at the Susan Knapp Amphitheater on the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

enjoy and relate to.

“I think it’s a matter of the music is relatable and something people can listen to, live vicariously through, and something people can connect too,” Bryant said “When I made this record I tried to make something that is related to something you’ve been through, you’re about to go through or something you’re going through in the moment and I think that is why people of any age can really connect to the music.”

Bryant will be performing at 8 p.m. Friday at the Susan Knapp Amphitheater. His concert is free with the price of admission. Bryant is one of 13 country acts offering

free shows during the 11-day Iowa State Fair. Other country artists performing include Deana Carter, Cam, Marty Stuart and Confederate Railroad.

The Iowa State Fair appearance is one of nearly 200 shows for Bryant this year. While constantly on the move, the young country heartthrob said he doesn’t forget to stop and enjoy the experience.

“We’ve just stayed so busy the last couple years but I’m having a blast doing what I’m doing,” he said. “I’m waking up each day and realizing I get to fulfill my dreams and that my dreams as a kid are all coming true.”

Iowa agency changes rules on water pollution DES MOINES (AP) — An Iowa agency on Wednesday approved changes to administrative rules regarding water pollution that two groups say will weaken environmental protections, but supporters argue will add clarity to a system thrown into limbo by a lawsuit.

Biles, three swimmers claim golds on Olympic stage in Rio

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Simone Biles and Michael Phelps powered their way to more gold medals with rousing routs at the Rio Games on Thursday.

Sauntering to the sounds of Latin music befitting the beaches and boulevards of Rio de Janeiro, Biles soared to the women’s all-around gymnastics title.

Hours later, Phelps blew away rival Ryan Lochte — and everyone else, for that matter — to win his fourth gold medal of the Rio Olympics and 22nd overall with a victory in the 200-meter individual medley.

This was touted as the last showdown between two of America’s greatest swimmers, though there’s never been any question about

which one had the upper hand. Lochte didn’t even reach the podium this time, fading to fifth after leading at the midway point.

Putting the gulf between herself and the rest of the world on full display , the 19-year-old Biles became the fourth straight American woman to win the Olympic all-around title and fifth overall while cementing her reputation as the best of her generation and perhaps ever.

American teammate Aly Raisman took the silver.

Biles has spent the last three years dominating her sport, winning 15 world championships.

The pair’s powerful performances came on a day the Rio Games turned aside the disconcerting lime-like

AP Photo United States’ Michael Phelps celebrates winning gold in Thursday’s men’s 200-meter individual medley at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Phelps has won the gold in the event in four straight Olympics.

Gold standard is set and more

“

Because I can,” American Kristin Armstrong said of why the twice retired cyclist keeps coming back to compete. Armstrong became the first cyclist — male or female — to ever win three consecutive Olympic gold medals in the same event, dating back to 1896.

Armstrong on her final day as a 42-year-old won the gold in the women’s road time trial on Wednesday at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Cyclists battled time, lashing rain and wind on the time-trial course. Armstrong prevailed for her third gold in the event.

Americans have celebrated many gold medal performances so far in the first week of competition at the Rio Olympics. The glamour sports of gymnastics and swimming pushed the American competitors to the forefront early in Rio. In my estimation, America has some of the GOATs in several Olympic disciplines. For those of you, like

waters at the aquatics center and toward the emerald green fairways as golf returned to the Olympics for the first time in 112 years.

Adilson da Silva of Brazil hit the first Olympic golf shot since 1904 with the opening tee shot. Justin Rose made what is believed to be the first hole-in-one.

The Pacific Island nation of Fiji erupted into celebration after its rugby sevens team defeated Britain 43-7 to capture the country’s first Olympic medal. Rugby is back in the Olympics for the first time since 1924.

Golf is back after an even longer absence.

Da Silva smiled and removed his cap to wave to the sparse crowd that included more golf officials than fans

AP Photo United States’ Simone Manuel celebrates winning the gold and setting a new olympic record in the women’s 100-meter freestyle Thursday at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets me had no idea what GOAT meant — Greatest Of All Time.

No doubt was left which women’s gymnastic team was the best in the world in 2016. The Final Five, as they call themselves in tribute to retiring U.S. women’s gymnastic team coordinator Martha Karolyi, won the team gold this week. Simone Biles and Aly Raisman were Gold-Silver in Thursday’s all-around individual competition. They were cheered on by Gabby Douglas, Madison Kocian and Lauren Hernandez.

The U.S. has an Olympic record contingent of 292 women in the America’s 555-strong Olympic team. So, the U.S. women have it going well after the first week of competition.

United States’ swimmers wowed everyone in the Olympics pool led by Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky.

There were so many more American swimmers from veterans to first-tim-

after his tee shot. Growing up in golf-starved Brazil with little equipment, Da Silva used to make golf clubs out of tree branches as a child.

Marcus Fraser of Australia had the first that mattered the most on the Olympic Golf Course — the first-round lead. Fraser shot an 8-under 63 that stood for a three-shot advantage over Henrik Stenson of Sweden and Graham DeLaet of Canada.

The only one of four Americans in the 60-man field to break par was Matt Kuchar (69). Rickie Fowler started with a double bogey and shot 75, beating only two players. Patrick Reed shot 72 and Bubba Watson had a 73.

There are other sports in the Olympics where Americans excelled. The “Dream Team” U.S. basketball teams are plowing through opponents. The U.S. men were pushed by Australia Wednesday, winning by 10 points. The U.S. women’s soccer team is on schedule for the medal round.

The hop-skip-and-jump type of coverage by the NBC stations is tough to follow without a scorecard. I was home ill Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday morning I turned on the television and on the first station I found Olympic coverage on — not regular NBC — was the arena show jumping of the equestrian eventing. Eventing involves dressage, cross country and show jumping.

The U.S.’s oldest competitor in the 2016 Summer Olympics is Phillip Dutton on the American equestrian team. The 52-year-old Dutton, riding his horse Mighty Nice, captured the bronze medal in individual eventing Tuesday. It was the first American medal in equestrian individual event-

Brady Stover added one more postseason honor to his senior season for Collins-Maxwell/Baxter baseball.

The Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association announced its 2016 All-State teams this week.

Stover was named to the IHSBCA AllState Class 2A first team as a pitcher.

Stover Stover earned Iowa Newspaper Association All-State Class 2A first team honors as a pitcher earlier this month.

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. The Raiders lost to Kuemper Catholic, 3-2 in eight innings, in the 2A state tournament opener.

Stover has signed to play NCAA Division I baseball at South Dakota State.

US woman defends Olympic judo title RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — American Kayla Harrison has successfully defended her Olympic judo title in the women’s 78-kilogram division, after beating France’s Audrey Tcheumeo in a tense final.

With just six seconds left, Harrison caught Tcheumeo’s arm in an armlock, and forced Tcheumeo to tap out in submission, automatically winning the contest.

Harrison’s coach, Jimmy Pedro, said Harrison’s achievement was enormous, given that there have been no repeat Olympic judo champions at Rio or at the previous games in London. Harrison was in commanding form throughout Thursday, winning her preliminary matches automatically after pinning her opponents down to the mat for 20 seconds; her first match lasted just 43 seconds.

Pedro said Harrison was “on fire” on Thursday and described her defense of her Olympic title as “epic.”

LeBron James has agreed to 3-year deal with hometown Cavs

By Tom Withers The Associated Press LeBron James is going to hang around home for a while.

Fresh off leading Cleveland to an NBA title, the first for one of the city’s three professional sports teams in 52 years, James agreed Thursday to a threeyear, $100 million contract with the Cavaliers, a person familiar with the contract told the Associated Press.

James James, who said earlier this summer he intended to re-sign with Cleveland, will soon sign the deal, said the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because some details of the deal need to be finalized.

ESPN.com first reported the financial terms of James’ new deal.

The 31-year-old James had been expected to accept the same oneyear deal he signed in each of his two previous seasons since returning to Cleveland. However, he’s decided to stay longer to try and win more championships.

“I’m re-signing back with the Cleveland Cavaliers, man, my hometown team, and I couldn’t be more excited with this opportunity once again man, to defend our crown, defend our title,” James said in a posting on Uninterrupted. “We all know last year was magical, inspiring, all the words you can come up with man. It was an unbelievable season.

“I just can’t wait to get the group back together man, the team, the franchise, and more importantly get everybody together.”

The three-time champion also used the opportunity to push the Cavs to re-sign free agent J.R. Smith, a good friend who also is represented by James’ agent, Rich Paul.

James wanted to rest and recharge after the finals and skipped playing in the Rio Olympics. He won gold medals in Beijing and London. On Wednesday, Carmelo Anthony surpassed him as the leading scorer in U.S. history.

Rizzo draws bases-loaded walk in 11th, Cubs edge rival Cards CHICAGO (AP) — Anthony Rizzo drew a bases-loaded walk from Zach Duke with two outs in the 11th inning and the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 on Thursday night for their 10th consecutive win.

Pinch-hitters Willson Contreras and Jorge Soler led off with singles against the lefty Duke (2-1) and Dexter Fowler walked to load the bases with one out.

Kris Bryant struck out before Rizzo took a 3-1 pitch inside to give the Cubs their longest winning streak since getting 12 straight in 2001.

Mike Montgomery (4-5) allowed a single and two walks to load the bases in the 11th before striking out Matt Carpenter to end the threat. He won his first game for Chicago since being acquired from Seattle last month.

The Cardinals fell 13 games behind Chicago in the NL Central and lost Matt Holliday in the 10th after he was Rizzo hit on the right hand

by Mike Montgomery’s 94 mph fastball.

Cubs reliever Strop out 4-6 weeks with injury CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Cubs reliever Pedro Strop will be sidelined four to six weeks with a torn meniscus in his left knee.

The right-hander will undergo arthroscopic surgery Friday after getting hurt fielding a grounder in the eighth inning of Wednesday’s victory over the Los Angeles Angels.

“It’s never fun not having

who has a 2.89 ERA in 50 appearances this season, bolted off the mound and slid in front of third baseman Javier Baez to field Yunel Escobar’s slow roller.

“Adrenaline took over for me to slide and I kind of got stuck in the grass,” Strop said, while leaning on crutches in the clubhouse.

Baez hugged Strop so he wouldn’t throw to first, and Strop said the doctor told him it could have been worse if he did try to wheel and throw.

The timetable calls for Strop to return toward the end of the regular season and be ready for the playoffs.

“It was a horrible feeling. I was almost crying just thinking that I might be out for the season,” Strop said. “This is a really special group that I want to be part of in the playoffs and World Series if we get there.”

Duffy throws complete game, Royals beat White Sox 2-1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Danny Duffy has gone from starting the season in the Kansas City Royals’ bullpen to leading the American League with a 2.82 ERA. Duffy pitched his first complete game to win his eighth straight decision, Cheslor Cuthbert had two hits and drove in a run and the Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 2-1 on Thursday night.

Duffy (9-1) limited the White Sox to seven singles and struck out six.

The left-hander has not lost since June 6 and has a 1.73 ERA in his past five starts. Duffy threw 98 pitches, 71 for strikes.

“I’m stoked,” Duffy said on getting his first complete game. “I’ve gotten pretty close a couple of times this year. When I went eight

(innings) the first time (teammate Kris) Medlen told me, ‘You should expect that every night.’

“This is a Duffy cool milestone. I’m just worried about getting outs and keeping my team in the game.”

Duffy moved into the rotation May 15 and has thrown eight or more innings in four starts.

“For him to get through nine innings under 100 pitches is just a phenomenal effort,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

White Sox slugger Todd Frazier, who went 0-for-4 and struck out twice, said “deception” is what makes

Duffy good.

“Deception on his offspeed pitches,” Frazier said.

“It looks like fastballs and then, the last second, you see it and it’s already by you. He had me all day, just one of those games where he had me, not necessarily guessing but he’s throwing one pitch somewhere I wasn’t looking for, get the strike and the way it goes.”

Cuthbert, whose triple scored Jarrod Dyson in the sixth, is second among AL rookies with 93 hits, 24 multihit games and a .303 batting average.

Dyson was initially called out trying to steal second, but the Royals appealed and the call was overturned.

Cuthbert scored the goahead run on Eric Hosmer’s single off Carson Fulmer (0-2).

Fulmer has an 8.47 ERA

in eight relief appearances.

Chicago’s Jason Coats, recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Charlotte, singled home Tim Anderson with two outs in the second for his first major league RBI. White Sox right-hander Miguel Gonzalez left after 21 pitches with a right groin strain. After Salvador Perez fouled off a fullcount pitch leading off the second, White Sox manager Robin Ventura and trainer Herm Schneider came to the mound and led Gonzalez off.

Gonzalez may have to go on the disabled list.

“I had it last year, same thing,” Gonazlez said.

“They put me on the DL for 15 days. I came back, I was fine. I was pitching good.

Nothing different. It felt about the same as it did last year.”

MLB STANDINGS

Olympics Continued from Page 1B The world’s top four players — Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy — skipped the Rio Game s because of Zika fears and safety concerns.

Pervasive violence is an everyday part of Rio, and a police officer was hospitalized after getting shot in the head when he and two others got lost near a slum. The Justice Ministry said the officer was recovering after four hours of surgery.

The incident was the bloodiest of several at the start of South America’s first Olympic Games. Muggings have been reported among Olympic athletes, officials and journalists.

Other highlights from Day 6 of the Rio Games: Backstroke great: America’s Ryan Murphy completed a sweep of the men’s backstroke events, taking gold in the 200 meters Thursday night at the Rio Olympics. Murphy also won the 100 back, becoming the third American man in the last three Olympics to take both races. Aaron Peirsol pulled off the sweep at Athens in 2004 and Lenny Krayzelburg claimed both golds at the 2000 Sydney Games.

The 21-year-old Murphy touched in 1 minute, 53.62 seconds. Australia’s Mitch Larkin grabbed the silver in 1:53.96, just ahead of Russia’s Evgeny Rylov with the bronze in 1:53.97. The United States has not lost a men’s backstroke final at the Olympics since 1992.

Historic gold swim tie: Simone Manuel of the United States and 16-year-old Penny Oleksiak of Canada

him around, but it could have been worse,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said Thursday. “We’re going to get him back and that’s a good thing.”

Strop was placed on the 15-day disabled list and right-hander Justin Grimm was recalled from Triple-A Iowa.

With reliever Hector Rondon also sidelined with a triceps injury, the NL Central-leading Cubs will have to shuffle bullpen roles ahead of closer Aroldis Chapman.

“It will give more opportunity to different guys, particularly Joe Smith is going to be the guy that is utilized more because of it,” Maddon said. “Grimm has his strongpoints, too, that we can utilize. We’re still waiting to hear from Hector to see exactly when he’s going to be available.”

The 31-year-old Strop,

tied for the gold medal in the women’s 100-meter freestyle, upsetting world-record holder Cate Campbell. Manuel becomes the first African-American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in swimming.

It was Manuel — her fingernails painted red, white and blue — who touched at the same time as Oleksiak, the youngest swimmer in the field. Manuel broke down in tears when she recognized her historic achievement in a sport that still has few African-Americans.

Beach Knockout Round: Another long night at the Copacabana beach volleyball venue — even for the players who have already completed their matches. At the conclusion of the group stages, the international volleyball federation drew lots to pair teams up for the knockout round.

American Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena will play the Austrian team of Robin Seidl

and Alexander Huber. Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross will play the Italian team of Laura Giombini and Marta Menegatti.

Men’s Volleyball: Matt Anderson and his U.S. men’s volleyball teammates stunned the Brazilians in four sets to deny the previously unbeaten host nation a quarterfinal berth. After two forgettable preliminary matches and facing the real possibility of near-Olympic elimination, Anderson led the charge for a roster packed with Olympic first-timers.

Anderson brought it with a spot-on jump serve, big hitting and reliable passing in a 25-20, 25-23, 20-25, 2520 victory that left the raucous, flag-waving pro-Brazil crowd at Maracanazinho arena in disbelief. The U.S. win snapped a four-match losing streak to Brazil in international competition since winning the World League gold medal on July 20, 2014.

A dvertiser Jasper County

Astrograph

The last day of the Saturn retrograde reminds us there is no person more important than another. However, some are more notable or key to the moment, and therefore it may be appropriate to offer up special attention or resources. Serve, accommodate or acquiesce, all the while understanding your inherent equality.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 12). Life is cumulative.

What you now consider to be some of your most valuable experiences were at one time stories you didn’t want to tell.

Because of your open mind and embracing heart, many resplendent happenings unfold before the year is over. Take

your impressive earnings and invest them in the February project. Pisces and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 2, 1, 14 and 9.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You find some small reason to celebrate, and suddenly you’ve this irresistible party energy around you. Happy people will be attracted to your high vibration.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your great work will not be the result of a flash of inspiration.

It will be the culmination of dozens of experiments then hundreds of exercises to hone and tweak them. Try to be patient as you follow your

curiosity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Upon entering a room, it’s natural to assume that everyone inside already knows one another, but of course this isn’t usually the case. A small amount of boldness is all it will take to make new friends.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

There was a time you needed someone more than you do now. It doesn’t mean that you were using this person before (maybe a little). Anyway, your efforts in the relationship will mean more now because they are selfless.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Feelings are not facts. Feelings grab your attention and your mind immediately takes on

the work of making sense of it -- filling in a story to explain why, a theory, any theory, valid or not. Don’t overreact!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Interests are, of course, a natural basis for friendship, but how are you to meet these new friends who share your interests unless you take some initiative and go to the meetup where they are hanging out?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You like people who are curious like you. This always leads to riveting conversation. You also like resolved people who don’t have to ask so many questions.

Today brings a good balance between the two types.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Do not mistakenly think that

if you get this or that out of the way, you’ll finally have peace. Your peace is not being impeded by “this or that,” so much as the machinations of your mind, which can also be trained toward tranquility.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Questions of authority arise. Who is to say? Who calls the shots? Whose opinion matters? Who gets the final word? The obvious answers are wrong. Look deeper. Power can be tricky and secretive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The very ambition that causes you to want to be at a higher peak might be preventing you from seeing your situation from the better vantage point. The only way is to shake off your desire, fear and ego.

Be the moment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

When you think of the other person as an adversary, the gap between your positions seems ever so wide. But is this person really the enemy? With all you have in common, you could be fighting for a shared goal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Travels and adventures are on your mind, though you wonder if all the fun is in the fantasy of this. There are pains and inconveniences involved in making this real. Is it worth it?

Only you can answer that.
