A local coffee shop turned into a hub where environmentalists and farmers joined together to discuss the proposed Bakkan oil pipeline that could affect a number of landowners in Jasper County and 16 other Iowa counties.

On Thursday, Uncle Nancy’s Coffeehouse served as the venue for an informational rally put together by Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement and the Great March for Climate Action.

GMCA is a national group marching from Los Angeles to New York City to inform Americans on climate issues, and ICCI focuses on grassroots community action against certain public policies.

The rally was held in response to a Texas oil conglomerate’s plans to build an oil pipeline that would travel through Iowa. ICCI and GMCA arranged for Jane Kleeb — the founder of Bold Nebraska, a group that has been battling against the Keystone Pipeline in that state the last five years — to speak to the

crowd via video conference.

Kleeb said that Nebraska has strongly aligned itself with other states fighting to keep the Keystone Pipeline out, and that they call themselves “Pipeline Fighters.”

She said that she and other Nebraskans are willing to help Iowans fight against the proposed Bakkan oil pipeline.

A Dallas company, Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., are the supporters of the pipeline and have said the 1,100 mile structure would produce 320,000 gallons of crude a day. ETP is claiming the 30inch in diameter pipeline will develop the areas around it and supply refineries on the east and Gulf coasts.

“The issue that we see is that this pipeline enables our addiction to oil and we need to get beyond that. We can do better” said Wally Taylor, a member of the Sierra Club.

Taylor claimed that Bakkan oil fields in North Dakota, where the pipeline would begin, use fracking techniques and that

Superintendent Bob Callaghan used a scene from the classic film “The Wizard of Oz” to help inspire his staff at Thursday’s convocation ceremony at Newton Senior High School.

The scene involved the Cowardly Lion finally gaining courage, and displaying courage is the message Callaghan wanted to get across to every teacher in the Newton Community School District that attended.

“I want to make sure that we understand that it takes courage to be in education,” Callaghan said. “It takes courage to do whatever it takes. It takes courage to do the right thing. It takes courage to speak out.”

Callaghan told the crowd that he can’t personally give them courage, but he can give them a medal that

College bound students share career ambitions Newton Daily News DES MOINES — State Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald announced 85 percent of the children that have participated in the College Savings Iowa’s annual State Fair survey show getting a college education is a necessary step to achieving their dreams and career aspirations. “Iowa children are already thinking about their futures,” Fitzgerald said. “This survey demonstrates how important it is for families to start planning and saving early to help make college a reality for their children.

“Every year we ask children visiting the fair what they want to be when they grow up and if they will need to go to college to achieve

these goals. Needless to say, we are always amazed by the responses they offer.” Nineteen percent are planning on becoming veterinarians, with another 18 percent hoping to become teachers. Artist came in third this year with 14 percent of the responses.

“According to the survey, the majority of kids think a college education will cost them around $100,000,” Fitzgerald said. “Families that save and invest for their children’s college education will be better prepared to meet the challenge of paying for it when the time arrives, and College Savings Iowa is here to help.” Anyone – parents, grandparents, friends and relatives — can invest in College Savings Iowa on behalf of a child.

This year Iowa taxpayers can deduct up to $3,098 in contributions per beneficiary account from their adjusted gross income. Earnings grow tax free and investors can withdraw their investment federally and Iowa state tax-free to pay for qualified higher education expenses including tuition, books, supplies and certain room and board costs at any eligible college, university, community college or accredited technical training school in the United States or abroad.

Write On

Only the good die young I was first introduced to suicide in eighth grade.

In English class, our teacher had us watch Dead Poets Society, a film about a teacher, John Keating, played by Robin Williams, who inspires a group of teenage boys at a private school to not only appreciate poetry but more importantly to live with purpose and to seize the day.

I remember how entirely unexpected the scene was when one of the lead students, Neil Perry, decided to take his life with a single shot. It was shocking, encompassing and unimaginable.

His lack of acceptance from his father, feeling of being alone and living with an uninspired future were heavy and unbearable. It was sad.

A few months after graduating high school, my classmates and I were tragically reacquainted with suicide.

Our beloved class

By Kate Malott clown had killed himself just months after most Daily News Staff Writer of us had moved away to begin an exciting new journey in life. I can still see his perfect smile now.

Tony had overcome a kidney transplant in middle school and recovered just fine in the years following. We all labeled him a fighter, unbreakable.

He was hilarious, sharp and simply a joy to know. He seemed to be a seasoned comedian even in our young and inexperienced age, and thankfully wasn’t one of those sarcastic jerks that had people laughing at the expense of someone else’s confidence. His only purpose for telling a joke was to make people feel good, and that he did.

But somewhere along the way, and probably for longer than anyone had suspected, he became depressed and isolated. I assume he felt uneasy, unhappy and unworthy, although there’s no knowing. It was sad — not only what had happened but mainly that he felt that terrible.

As you surely are aware, one of our country’s most beloved class clowns, Robin Williams, took his own life. I can’t even begin to echo everyone’s love, admiration and thankfulness for Williams.

They are praises of merit, and I, too, like many feel like I lost someone who had a positive influence on my upbringing.

If anything has come into light since its breaking on Monday is that depression is a serious sickness, suicide can’t be a taboo subject and that we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

Suicides don’t make headlines, unless they’re done in public, but that doesn’t mean they’re not happening. According to the 2011 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Data and Statistics, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in America, which is fairly prominent given the number of causes of death.

There are trends worth noting: Men, for instance, are four times more likely to commit suicide than women. In 2011, 78.5 percent of victims were male and 21.5 perfect were female.

Adults ages 45 to 64 years old had the highest suicide rate with 18.6 per 100,000 people and the second highest rate of 16.9 occurred in those 85 years and older. In fact, the 15 to 24-year-old range had consistently the lowest rate of any other age group.

The states with the highest suicide rates coincidentally have the least dense populations: Wyoming (23.2), Alaska (23.1) and Montana (22.9).

Nevada (20.3), New Mexico (20.1) and Idaho (18.5) close out the list of states with suicide rates above 18. These states, with small populations and large square mileage, can cause increased feelings of loneliness and isolation.

If anyone you know, or especially yourself, has become more isolated from work, friends or family, please offer and seek help, support or comfort.

You might save a life.

Have a wonderful vacation — or else I don’t believe it! Summer is almost over and you haven’t taken your vacation yet. And I’m not talking about your 2014 vacation. I’m talking 2013. And 2012. Heck, you’ve still got unused vacation days from 1956!

You may be crazy, but you are not alone. According to a survey by the job and career site Glassdoor, The Wall Street Journal’s ace workplace reporter, Sue Shellenbarger, reports that “15 percent of U.S. employees who are entitled to paid vacation time haven’t used any of

By Bob Goldman it in the past Creators Syndicate year.”

This is risky business. For the business and for the stay-at-homes. As Shellenbarger points out, “The ill effects of refusing to go on vacation, documented in research, include fatigue, poor morale, heart problems and reduced productivity.”

Who cares if the research was done by the Disneyland marketing department. Not taking a vacation can be hazardous to your health.

On the other hand, taking a vacation can be hazardous to your career. In yet another survey — and clearly, people who work for survey firms never ever take vacations — “Oxford Economics, a forecasting and consulting firm, found some 13 percent of managers are less likely to promote employees who take all their vacation time.”

Not everyone is afraid oflosing their job before they can lose their tan. It’s wonderful to go frolicking in the mountains, but it’s a lot less wonderful when

you come back to a mountain of work. Maybe that’s why a Dutch study published in 2012 in the Journal of Happiness Studies showed that “a person’s sense of health and well-being rises during a vacation of two weeks or more but quickly sinks to prevacation levels in the first week back on the job.” And you can turn that first week back into the first day back, if one of your hostile co-workers, stuck with doing your job while you away, fills your wooden shoes with yoghurt.

Beyond the practical reasons for choosing a full desktop over a scenic mountaintop are psychological quirks. Like the feeling that “working nonstop is a way some people build self-esteem.”

Personally, I’d rather build sandcastles, but we all have workmates who brag about the years that have passed since they last took their nose off the grindstone.

We have a name for these people. We call them supervisors.

Other people suffer from what Bart Lorang, chief executive of Denver-based FullContact, calls the “misguided hero syndrome.” These folks honestly believe that without them, nothing works. “It’s almost like you have this adrenaline rush,” Lorang says, “brought on by the fact that people need you 24/7.”

For my money, this is kind of thinking is not only foolish, it is virtually career suicide. If you are always at work, you don’t become essential; you become invisible.

In good times, you’re there. In bad times, you’re there. In the end, your only a achievement is that you go from being an office worker to being office furniture.

But if you go away, and you go for a really long time, and your fellow workers and supervisors prove to be just as dim-witted as you suspect, you have a very

good chance of being AWOL when something really bad happens. And then you will not only be noticed; you will be missed.

As the country song goes, “How Can I Miss You if You Won’t Go Away?”

If Sue Shellenbarger and I can’t convince you to take as many big whopping vacations as possible, there is still hope.

Certain enlightened firms are changing their vacation policies. To demonstrate their belief in their importance of taking vacations, the management of technology giant, Evernote, removed all limits on vacations.

You could take that as a testament to the generosity of spirit of an enlightened management.

Or you could take it as a sneaky management ploy to trap feckless employees into demonstrating just how easily the company could do without their efforts.

Naturally, the Evernote employees, not exactly dumb, chose Door No. 2, and stopped taking vacations altogether. Finally, the company had to provide $1000 awards to each employee who agreed to take off their pocket protector and put on a Speedo.

Another tech company, HubSpot, has taken get-outof-town fever a step further by making two-week paid vacations mandatory. You can just hear the HR VP deliver a scathing annual review to a hard-working employee.

“Sorry, Johnson, we’re going to have to let you go. You’re dynamite at your job, but you totally stink at taking vacation.”

and the enthusiasm to serve this state,” Branstad said, responding to a question about whether he might step down midway through another term for health reasons or to benefit his lieutenant governor. “I’m committed to serve the entire term.”

Hatch, 64, a longtime state lawmaker, sought to criticize Branstad’s administration over a recent revelation that some former state workers were given confidential settlement payments. He also promised to cut taxes for the middle class, raise the minimum wage and increase the state gas tax to fund infrastructure spending.

“There needs to be new leadership and there needs to be a fresh start in education and job development and taking care of rural Iowa,” Hatch said.

Branstad said he wanted to come up with a plan for repairing crumbling bridges and roads that didn’t include raising the gas tax, which he said would hurt poor Iowans.

Branstad also spoke about his efforts to maintain the amount

of ethanol in the nation’s fuel supply, given Iowa’s role as the nation’s leading producer of ethanol, a fuel additive primarily made from corn.

Hatch questioned tax cuts the state gave to a fertilizer plant that located in southeast Iowa, asking “why are we giving these kinds of incentives to corporations, instead of looking where job growth really is, it’s in the small towns, it’s in the small businesses.”

Branstad argued that the deal created jobs for state residents. He also attacked the fiscal policies of the previous Democratic governor, seeking to tie Hatch to a leader that he said didn’t balance the books.

Branstad is the presumptive favorite in the race. He had about $4 million in his campaign account at the end of the latest reporting period in midJuly. In comparison, Hatch only had $183,000 in cash at the end of the latest reporting period, which will make it hard for him to get his message out.

He has also loaned personal funds to his campaign.

the names would be released sometime on Friday.

Pipeline Continued from Page 1A the peak, or easy to access oil, had already been depleted. He also cited the danger of leaks coming from the potential pipeline, and pointed out that North Dakota had more than 300 small oil leaks since 2011, which was verified in a 2013 story by the Associated Press.

There were about 30 people in the audience, nine of whom indicated they were landowners in Jasper County that had been approached by ETP. All the owners said they had received multiple notifications via phone and mail, however, none had signed agreements.

Marilyn Ventler, one of the owners who has been contacted, said she was angry about this matter and was deeply concerned how a spill would ruin not only land values but the environment.

After nearly two hours of discussion and several speakers, GMCA director Jimmy Betts, an Iowa native, called the meeting to an end. Betts and the other GMCA marchers plan to reach New York in November. He said once that’s complete, he plans on returning to Iowa to continue to inform citizens about the possible dangers of the pipeline.

There are rallies scheduled to take place in Iowa City and Davenport later this month, and the first was held in Des Moines on Monday.

ETP previously stated the pipeline not only supports the continued growth and production in the Bakken area, but does so in a cost effective and environmentally responsible manner by reducing the current utilization of rail and truck transportation as the predominant alternative to moving Bakken crude oil volumes to major U.S. markets.

The company said it plans on holding public meetings in the communities that would be affected as soon as next month.

represents the trait. Last year during this ceremony, Callaghan and all of the district staff swore an oath and received a pin to ensure they had the students’ best interests at heart.

He is hoping the courage medal will serve as an equally inspiring piece for this year.

During his address, he also highlighted a few of the district’s accomplishments and new policies that were implemented in his first year at the helm.

Callaghan pointed out more than 100 paraprofessionals in the district are now highly qualified, and how unique this is compared to other school districts in Iowa. The district helped the paras become highly qualified, and he said the paras took more than 100 hours of coursework since April to be ready for the school year.

Another accomplishment he noted is Berg and Thomas Jefferson elementary schools will have six sections of kindergarten and first-grade classes.

He said this was in response to teacher and parent surveys asking for smaller class sizes and this gives those buildings an 18:1 or lower student-to-teacher ratio for those grades.

A recent demographic survey of the district indicated that more students in that age range could be attending Newton schools in the near future.

Callaghan reiterated the district’s goals for the new school year, which were passed at Monday’s board of education meeting, and spoke on every building principal taking on the role of instructional leader for their respective campuses.

“It’s going to be a hard thing for everyone. You know how time (consuming) it is, but they are making a commitment to make sure they are in your classrooms, visiting you and giving their support to let you reach kids each and every day,” Callaghan said.

Immediately following the ceremony, the school board met for a quick meeting. The board approved hiring two new crossing guards, placing three sub paras into buildings and hiring Stefanie Hendrickson as a first-grade teacher at Thomas Jefferson.

DES MOINES (AP) — Republican Gov. Terry Branstad presented himself as an experienced workhorse while Democratic challenger Jack Hatch pledged to bring new ideas to state government during the first debate of the Iowa governor’s race Thursday.

The candidates sat before hay bales in an auditorium at the Iowa State Fair for the hour-long face-off, which was sponsored by the Iowa Public Television program “Iowa Press.” This was the first of three debates in the race.

Branstad, 67, is running for an unprecedented sixth nonconsecutive term. He focused heavily on his record over the past four years, touting a property tax cut, new education spending and job creation efforts. He unveiled one new proposal, an expanded plan to improve broadband internet access in rural Iowa and stressed that he was ready to serve another four years.

Man’s affair has ended but marriage remains in limbo

FAMILY CIRCUS

DEAR ABBY: My husband of 30 years had an affair a year and a half ago.

We struggled through the aftermath and are trying to restart our relationship. He remained in touch with the other woman until she finally pulled the plug on him, and now he has no interest in talking with me about our relationship or how to improve it.

He is distant and refuses to say “I love you.” He doesn’t initiate hugs or kisses.

He will initiate sex every so often, but I am usually the one who seems to need more contact.

When I question him, he tells me everything is all right and I am making a mountain out of a molehill. We have good times, but I really feel his lack of affection.

I don’t want to leave this man. I love him dearly and have for many years.

Should I keep waiting for the renewal or has my membership here lapsed and I’m just kidding myself? — FROZEN OUT IN ALASKA DEAR FROZEN OUT: Because you love him dearly and don’t want to leave him, stay put. However, everything isn’t all right, and you are not making a mountain out of a molehill. Your husband appears to be punishing you for something, and unless you get to the bottom of it, your relationship with him will remain icy cold.

A licensed marriage counselor may be able to help you rebuild your relationship, but it won’t happen unless he is willing to try. If he isn’t, then you should go without him and let the therapist help you decide if this is the way you want to live the rest of your life.

DEAR ABBY: If you will print this, it would help pharmacy technicians everywhere.

Drive-thru windows are for convenience, not SPEED. We are not handing out hamburgers. But if you have new insurance, questions for a pharmacist, a large order or anything out of the ordinary, please come into the store. To do otherwise is rude to the people in line behind you who will blame us because they had to wait.

You take a new insurance card to your doctor, and you should do the same at the pharmacy. We’re not psychic and we don’t automatically know your insurance has

changed. Entering new data correctly is time-consuming, and you are not the only one who “forgot” — so refrain from directing your impatience at us.

Don’t hang onto a new prescription for weeks and present it to us in a hurry.

Bring it to the pharmacy to be placed in your file, then call a day ahead to say you want it filled. Call in advance for maintenance drugs, too. That way, you won’t have to wait for your medication.

Do not panic about holidays, weekends or weather. WE ARE OPEN. We will need the prescription number or name to fill it correctly.

Pay close attention to the number of refills and the expiration dates on each vial. If you are out of refills, obviously we can’t fill it without a new prescription from your doctor.

Abby, we start early, stay late and skip breaks to help the sick. Common sense and accountability are needed. We are here to help patients efficiently and courteously. Please remind your readers that pharmacy employees deserve the same in return. — STRESSED TECH IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR STRESSED TECH: My hat is off to you and I’m glad to help. Your suggestions are sensible. Customer service is one of the hardest jobs in the world, and working with people who are sick, hungry or stressed can make it even more difficult.

Readers, losing one’s temper and being rude will not improve service, and may impede it. I have found that the process of picking up and dropping off prescriptions goes more smoothly if it’s done at other than peak hours.

$245,000 wastewater project meets city and school approval Matthew Nosco News Editor

A 28E agreement between the city and the PCM school district has been approved by both entities, and now the design process will move forward on a joint wastewater management project between the entities.

The hope is that the project, a new filtration and drainage system being put in alongside the athletic complex in Prairie City, will help drain

the water out of the area more efficiently than in the past while also filtering the water through natural vegetation.

The project is estimated to cost around $245,000, which will be paid by the city. The funds will be coming from a State Revolving Fund loan the city had previously taken out for its new wastewater treatment plant.

How to help kids transition back to the classroom

Hall Monitor

Metro Creative Connection The dawn of a new school year is an exciting time. Kids may not want to say goodbye to days spent lounging by the pool, but such disappointment is often tempered by the prospect of returning to school with friends.

For parents, getting kids ready for a new school year is about more than updating their wardrobe or organizing carpools with fellow parents. Reacclimating kids to the routine of school after a relaxing summer is a significant undertaking, and the following are a handful of ways for parents to get a head start as the schoolyear draws closer.

• Establish a routine.

Summer vacations typically lack the structure of the school year, and that lack of structure can help kids unwind and make the most of the freedom that summer vacation provides. But as summer starts to wind down, parents can begin to reintroduce some structure into their kids’ lives to make the transition back to school go more smoothly.

Plan morning activities so kids can readjust to waking up early each day. In addition, serve breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same time you

What’s Cooking for the week of Aug. 19 to 22 Newton Schools Lunch Menu Tuesday: Pepperoni pizza, steamed corn, mixed salad and an applesauce cup. Wednesday: Mini corn dogs, baked wedges, baby carrots and a fruit cocktail mix. Thursday: Chicken nuggets, mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli with cheese, a banana and a whole grain biscuit. Friday: Meatball sub sandwich, baked sweet potato fries, baked beans, orange slices and Scobby Snacks.

Newton Schools Breakfast Menu Tuesday: Cereal, toast, dried fruit, 100% juice and milk.

Wednesday: French toast with syrup, orange slices, 100% juice and milk. Thursday: Bagel with cream cheese, a banana, 100% juice and milk. Friday: Scrambled egg with toast, mixed fruit, 100% juice and milk.

typically serve it during the school year so kids’ bodies can begin to readjust as well.

• Take kids along when shopping for school supplies. If you plan to buy your child a new computer or other supplies for the upcoming school year, take him or her along on your shopping trips.

Kids who get to choose their supplies might be more excited about returning to school than those youngsters who are given what they need without offering their input.

• Monitor or assign summer reading. Many students are given summer reading lists to keep their minds sharp over the summer and prepare them for upcoming coursework. Parents

should monitor kids’ progress on such reading lists and even discuss the books with their kids when possible. Read the books along with them if you think it will help engage them. If kids were not assigned summer reading lists at the end of the school year, assign your own books, rewarding kids when they finish a new book.

Kids who read throughout the summer may be more likely to start the school year off on the right foot than those who don’t crack a book all summer.

• Encourage kids to sign up for extracurricular activities. Many school-aged athletes get a head start on the new school year by trying out for sports teams.

Such tryouts often com-

Saturday: 7:30 to 9 a.m., girls swimming at the Newton YMCA; 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Youth Football League YSF Jamboree at H. A. Lynn Stadium.

mence a week or two before a school year is scheduled to begin, and this can help kids ease their way back into the school year. But even nonathletes can begin pursuing extracurricular activities before the first school bell of the year rings.

Theater programs may begin auditions or encourage interested youngsters to attend orientation meetings before the dawn of the school year, and such sessions can be a great and pressure-free way for kids to ready themselves for a new school year.

The arrival of a new school year can be both exciting and daunting. But parents can help their youngsters readjust to school in various ways after a relaxing summer.

Hawkeyes poised for revival in 2014

By Luke Meredith AP Sports Writer IOWA CITY (AP) — Most coaches only get one chance to turn around a program.

Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz is poised to revive the Hawkeyes for the third time in 12 years.

Many dismissed Ferentz and the Hawkeyes after a 4-8 finish in 2012.

But Iowa answered its critics with eight wins last season, including victories at Minnesota and Nebraska and a trip to the Outback Bowl.

A veteran roster and a favorable schedule should put Iowa in position to contend for the inaugural Big Ten West title in 2014. The Hawkeyes return eight starters on offense, don’t play Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan and Penn State and host fellow West contenders Wisconsin and Nebraska to end the season.

“It’s going to be fun to actually

see what’s going on and what we can do.

Bottom line is how we play this year is going to be determined by what we do on the field,” Ferentz said.

Here are five things to watch for as the Hawkeyes try to reach a major bowl just two years removed from missing the postseason — like they did in 2002 and 2009 under Ferentz.

QUARTERBACK DUO: Junior Jake Rudock is back for a second season as the starter after throwing for 2,383 yards and 18 touchdowns. He threw 13 picks as well, so ball security will be one of Rudock’s biggest keys in 2014. The Hawkeyes have also kicked around the idea of using Rudock’s backup, sophomore C.J. Beathard, as a change of pace player HAWKEYES See Page 2B

Cyclones set sights on winning a bowl

By Luke Meredith AP Sports Writer AMES (AP) — Even Iowa State knows that it probably won’t win the Big 12 this year.

The Cyclones just want to win a bowl game.

Iowa State went to three bowls in its first four years under coach Paul Rhoads. But the Cyclones fell apart last season, losing seven straight Big 12 games and finishing 3-9 — by far their worst mark for Rhoads.

Iowa State has predictably been picked to finish ninth in the 10-team league, ahead of only Kansas. But Rhoads has set the bar at a postseason victory, which the Cyclones have achieved just once under Rhoads and three times in school history.

“It’s an expectation that I place on our program on a yearly basis, and you don’t back off that,” Rhoads said.

“I don’t think there is a lot of people (in the media) that think that’s pos-

sible. But that’s OK. We’re working every day to get there.”

There are some reasons to believe that the Cyclones can be better than most people think.

They’ve brought in Mark Mangino, one of the brightest offensive minds in Big 12 history, to revamp an attack that was held to 21 points or less six times last season. The former Kansas coach and Oklahoma offensive coordinator will have the luxury of using a returning starter at every spot if he chooses. Whoever starts at quarterback should have plenty of options in the passing game.

But Iowa State will enter the season with major question marks on defense, which was shredded for 39.6 points a game in league games a year ago.

Sports shape lives in different ways Sports are among what shapes our lives. Yes, even for those people who don’t care or like sports. You’ve made that decision so it shaped your life.

For me, my parents were active when I was growing up. Everybody knew my father was a former college wrestler. Not many knew my mother was a competitive swimmer early By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News on, along with Sports Editor playing 6-on-6 basketball in junior college and was a very good bowler.

My parents enjoyed being outdoors. They both were Kansas State graduates and took pride in all the Wildcat athletics — yes, even football when it wasn’t good.

We lived in Kansas City, Kan., until I was 5. We moved to a small rural community between Kansas City and Lawrence. Most of the time we listened to sports on the radio. We’d watch all types of sports on television, from the Olympics to college

and profession football, baseball, professional bowling (Mom’s favorite), and shows like ABC’s “Wide World of Sports.”

We’d have the Royals on the radio while we would be outside playing ball in the front yard. We’d toss a football around before the bus arrived to take us to school in the fall.

My parents encouraged us to be involved in athletics, although there weren’t that many opportunities for girls in the late 1960s and early 1970s at my school.

I did play softball during the summer with a team my father put together so I’d have something to do.

We had fun.

Participating in sports provides life lessons. You develop discipline.

Getting up early in the morning to beat the heat for summer softball practice was never one of my favorite things, but we did it. You find the discipline to be there for your teammates just like you will have to have the discipline to go to work each day as an adult.

My take on participating and covering sports from T-ball to high school sports is, enjoy yourself. Yes,

it is hard work and dedication, but as we grow individually, we grow together with lifelong relationships.

We all want to win competitions.

Losing hurts if you care about what you are doing and your teammates.

But, you dust yourself off and go again, as my parents taught us when we’d fall.

As we grow up we develop our favorites among college and profession al sports. I couldn’t leave you this week without a little bit bragging and pride in the Kansas City Royals.

The Royals have a better record than the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees — in August no less. The Royals are atop the American League Central Division. I don’t know if they will stay there or not, but I have to bask in this right now.

Not since the 1985 World Series.

After their first run to the top of the division back in June, they had a swoon. The Royals won 10 in a row, then lost, and lost, and lost. It wasn’t looking good after the All-Star break either.

They had won eight in a row on this recent run to the top. Kansas City lost, then came back and won the next day. I am looking for a run

Manfred elected next MLB commissioner BALTIMORE (AP) — Rob Manfred has been elected baseball’s 10th commissioner and will succeed Bud Selig in January.

A labor lawyer who has worked for Major League Baseball since 1998, Manfred beat out Boston Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner on Thursday in the first contested Manfred vote for a new commissioner in 46 years.

The 55-year-old, who grew up in Rome, N.Y., must address issues that include decreased youth interest and the longer games. He has served as MLB’s chief operating officer for the past year.

Selig turned 80 last month and has ruled baseball since September 1992, when he was among the owners who forced Commissioner Fay Vincent’s resignation. He said he intends to retire in January.

Stewart sitting out after dirt-car death

Submitted photo Rylee Heryford of Newton won the 2014 Iowa PGA Golf Skills Challenge in Silvis, Ill., earlier this month. Heryford took first place in the 10-11 age division on Aug. 9 at TPC Deer Run, the site of the John Deere Classic. She reached the finals through a local qualifying round held at the The Principal Charity Classic in May and a regional round at Jester Park in July. For her efforts, Heryford was invited to attend the Wednesday Pro Am first tee festivities at next year’s John Deere Classic.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Tony Stewart says he will not race Sunday at Michigan International Speedway, skipping a second straight NASCAR Sprint Cup race since striking and killing a driver in a dirt-track race at a Stewart small New York track.

Stewart announced the decision Thursday. His plans for the rest of the season have not been deter-

Hawkeyes: Strong O-line leads Iowa Continued from Page 1B designed to give opposing defenses something else to think about. Beathard is arguably more of a running threat than Rudock — though Rudock can be surprisingly nimble himself — but he completed just 9 of 27 passes in a reserve role in 2013.

LINED UP: Iowa’s best teams in the 16-year tenure of Ferentz have always been built from the inside out, which is one of the main reasons there’s so much optimism in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes have perhaps the nation’s top lineman in left tackle Brandon Scherff, one of four starters back on the offensive line. The defensive front is led by seniors Carl Davis and Louis Trinca-Pasat, and junior end Drew Ott has AllBig Ten type potential.

WIDE-EYED: The Hawkeyes have plenty of options at wide receiver. But few of them are proven Big Ten wideouts. Beyond senior Kevonte Martin-Manley, Iowa is as unsettled at wide receiver as any position on the roster. Juniors Tevaun Smith and Jacob Hillyer are also listed as starters, but redshirt freshman Derrick Willies could push for one of those spots

by the end of the month, and senior Damond Powell is one of the fastest players the Hawkeyes have ever had under Ferentz. “Hopefully it’s a little deeper position than we’ve had in recent years,” Ferentz said.

KEEPING WEISMAN HEALHTY: Converted fullback Mark Weisman has been Iowa’s top option at running back ever since the Hawkeyes turned to him in desperation in 2012. But he’s never been able to stay healthy for a full season, mostly because he still runs like a fullback. So the Hawkeyes will look to preserve the bruising Weisman by limiting his carries and giving more touches to junior Jordan Canzeri and senior Damon Bullock.

BACK AT IT: Iowa will have five new starters at the back end of the defense that ranked ninth in the nation in scoring defense in 2013. But Ferentz is confident that a pair of inexperienced veterans; senior linebacker Quinton Alston and junior safety Jordan Lomax, can help stabilize the defense. “Both those guys give you a good feeling. They worked extremely hard. They’re accepting of the leadership role. They push hard out there,” Ferentz said.

mined.

Jeff Burton will drive Stewart’s No. 14 Chevrolet in Michigan.

Stewart also sat out Sunday at Watkins Glen, a day after he struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr. during a sprint car event in Canandaigua, New York. After Stewart clipped Ward’s car, sending it spinning, Ward got out of the car during the caution period, walked down the track and was hit

by Stewart.

Ward’s funeral was Thursday in Boonville, N.Y. Stewart’s dirt-racing career is on hold, and he could face criminal charges.

Cyclones: Starting QB Unknown Continued from Page 1B Here are five of the biggest story lines for the Cyclones entering 2014.

QB CAROUSEL: Iowa State has listed three quarterbacks; Grant Rohach, Sam Richardson and Joel Lanning, as potential starters. But the competition will likely come down to Rohach and Richardson, and most expect Rohach to start when the Cyclones open against North Dakota State on Aug. 30. Rohach was 40 of 59 passing with six TDs in the last two games of 2013, though he faced two of the league’s worst defenses in Kansas and West Virginia. Richardson opened last season as the starter, but injuries and poor offensive line play limited his progress. “It’s about making smart decisions and taking shots when shots need to be taken and taking care of the ball,” Rohach said.

PASSING GAME: The Cyclones have two of the better pass catchers in the Big 12 in tight end E.J. Bibbs, the only Iowa State player to be named preseason first-team All-Big 12 by the media, and wide receiver Quenton Bundrage. Iowa State also expects big things out of speedy senior Jarvis West in both the passing and return game, and incoming freshman receiver Allen Lazard is

one of the biggest recruits in school history.

FRONT SEVEN: The progress of Iowa State’s defensive front seven could determine whether it can reach a bowl game or not. Seniors Cory Morrissey and Brandon Jensen are expected to anchor an inexperienced defensive line, and sophomore Luke Knott should be a bright spot at linebacker if he can stay healthy.

SECONDARY: Iowa State’s coaching staff is high on sophomore cornerback Nigel Tribune, who should start alongside Sam E. Richardson. But the Cyclones will have a pair of new starters at safety, with T.J. Mutcherson expected to be the guy at strong safety and redshirt freshman Kamari Cotton-Moya slotted as the favorite at free safety.

SCHEDULE: The round-robin scheduling of the Big 12 typically leaves Iowa State with one of the nation’s toughest schedules — and this year’s slate is a doozy. North Dakota State has won three straight national titles, and the Cyclones host Kansas State in the second week of the season before playing at Iowa, an early favorite in the Big Ten West. But Rhoads is at least pleased with the spacing of Iowa State’s byes, which come in mid-September, late October and mid-November.

Backup QB Palmer leads Bears over Jaguars CHICAGO (AP) — Jay Cutler figures he won’t know who his backup quarterback is until the Chicago Bears wrap up the preseason.

Through two games, it’s tough to say who’s leading the competition — Jimmy Clausen or Jordan Palmer?

Palmer came on in the fourth quarter to lead two touchdown drives after Clausen struggled at times, and the Bears rallied to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-19 on Thursday night.

“They both practice well,” Cutler said. “They’re both overcoming adversity in practice from time to time. They’re preparing really hard.

I’m glad I don’t have to make the decision.”

Jacksonville’s Chad Henne passed for 130 yards and a touchdown, and Blake Bortles threw for 160 in relief before Palmer led the Bears back in the fourth. Senorise Perry scored on a 5-yard run with 50 seconds left, and C.J. Wilson intercepted a pass to seal the win.

Jared Allen made his first appearance for Chicago after signing in the offseason and finished with one tackle for a loss. He just missed a sack on the game’s opening drive when he slipped, but it was mostly a quiet night.

“That’s the toughest part of transitioning from training camp to the game,” Allen said. “In training camp you’ve got to run by the quarterback.”

The five-time Pro Bowl defensive end sat out last week’s opening win over Philadelphia after he missed practices because his wife had a baby.

Henne showed mobility in the pocket and completed 12 of 17 passes before leaving with a 13-7 lead in the second quarter.

“We feel very strongly about Chad,” coach Gus Bradley said.

But he also plans to give Bortles some snaps with the first team, possibly in the coming week.

The rookie looked sharp again after an impressive showing last week in a victory over Tampa Bay. The No. 3 pick in the draft, Bortles went 11 for 17, but the Jaguars came away with the loss.

Cutler completed 7 of 9 passes for 79 yards and called it a night after throwing a 4-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Marshall early in the second quarter.

Clausen got the first call after Cutler left the game, with Palmer serving as the second man in relief in a flip from the preseason opener. But Clausen struggled through

some headset problems after a strong performance last week.

The former Notre Dame star and Carolina Panther went 11 of 15 for 94 yards. He also had a pass intercepted by Josh Evans early in the third quarter off linebacker Telvin Smith’s deflection after the headset went out on him.

“There were three to five plays where it just became confusion and he really didn’t get us into the best plays,” coach Marc Trestman said.

“He was trying to make something good out of a bad situation, and there wasn’t any way I could help him. That group of I would say up to a half a dozen plays when Jimmy was in there, it was very difficult to evaluate.”

Palmer started the fourth quarter and threw for 73 yards, completing 6 of 9 passes.

“This is a competition and coaches have done a phenomenal job of making it very fair, evaluating us every day and so when you get to the preseason, you wait until your turn and then you go in there and try to make the most of it,” Palmer said.

Martellus Bennett had a 25-yard catch after being suspended by the team last week for an altercation in practice with cornerback Kyle Full-

er, who left this game after injuring his ankle on the opening possession.

The Jaguars scored on all three first-quarter possessions while grabbing a 13-0 lead, with Josh Scobee kicking a pair of field goals and Henne hitting Marqise Lee with a 6-yard touchdown pass. The TD came after Chicago’s Eric Weems fumbled away a kickoff.

The Bears cut it to 13-7 early in the second quarter, when Cutler hit Marshall with a 4-yarder to cap a 10-play drive. But a 43-yard field goal by Scobee late in the half made it 16-7.

Notes: Trestman said he has no issue with Marshall serving as an analyst for Showtime’s “Inside the NFL” show. “I trust Brandon,” he said. “He asked me about it. I trust him to make a decision that was in the best interest of the team first, and I know Brandon. I know he’ll do that.” ... Trestman had few details on CB Kyle Fuller (ankle) and backup TE Zach Miller (foot) after they left the game with injuries. He did say the bruised knee that kept DE Willie Young out of the game is not serious. ... Jaguars RT Austin Pasztor (broken hand) and backup C Luke Bowanko (sprained ankle) left the game.

The moon enters Taurus, and then less than an hour later, Mercury enters Virgo.

It’s time to come back down to earth. Just because something is reasonable doesn’t make it correct, though today that will probably be the case. No need to look for hidden meanings or alternative methods; just do what needs doing in the way it was taught to you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 15). Slow down and enjoy this year. There will be gifts to unwrap each and every month. You’ll be drawn to the glamour, bright lights and music of September. October will bring an exchange of ideas that leads to a new business and/or, for singles, a hot love affair. What you learn in November will help the whole family. Cancer and Pisces people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 14, 3 and 19.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You’ll run out of daylight before your plans are executed, but the night holds opportunity. One poet noted, “As the evening twilight fades away, the

sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.” — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Your vision is specific, and yet it will not benefit you to hold fast to uncompromising ways. Ask for input and really listen to it.

Your work will be better when you let others influence it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Whatever you are feeling, it will be important to express it, if not directly, then artistically or through physical work. Bottledup feelings aren’t good for you now, even if they happen to be very good feelings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People will be interested in what you do, but if you explain too much about it, you won’t have the degree of privacy and independence you cherish.

Keep the enigma going.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If there’s one thing that turns you off today, it’s arrogance. You worked for what you have, but you don’t believe that

gives you the right to look down on those in a different position. Your humility will teach others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You’re a history buff, but even you have to admit history’s main flaw: It repeats itself.

If history was a fellow partygoer, you might avoid it after a few drinks. Today, you’ll have no interest in visiting with it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s a carrot-on-astick situation today. Is it possible to have what you want? One definition of impossibility: a temporary stage in the development of everything that was, is and ever will be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have your own way of reading the omens, and when you see the signs, you’ll find they don’t lie to you. Your interpretation today will be accurate, but just know that it’s not the only interpretation that is.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be happy if you strike a fair compromise,

but an overly accommodating decision will bring displeasure. If someone tells you that he is willing to meet you halfway, make sure you both know the actual distance between you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are invisible bonds between you and a certain someone, and these lines pulse with love today.

Trust it while dealing with more tangible and practical issues that affect the relationship.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will be better able to concentrate on what you’re doing when you first work out why you’re doing it. Write it out so you can remind yourself when you hit the more difficult parts of the job.

CANCER (June 22July 22). Should you let someone in on your secret thoughts and wishes? This really needs to be kept to the innermost sanctum of associations. Let people prove themselves to you before you’re this intimate.
