Newton Day at Kinnick Stadium is Sept. 3

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News For the second year, the University of Iowa along with the Newton Area Chamber of Commerce is inviting fans from the Newton area to attend a football game at historic Kinnick Stadium.

Newton Community Day is the first game of the season on Sept.

3 when the reigning Big Ten West Division Champions will take on the RedHawks from Miami of Ohio.

Kickoff is set for 2:30

p.m. Tickets are available at a reduced rate of $40 each, $15 less than regular single game rates of $55. Youth tickets for those in high school and younger are also available for $25 each.

“I went to this last year, and it was a ton of fun,” chamber executive director Amanda Price said. “There were a lot of Newton people there, and it was fun to see a lot of the community show up.”

Price said last year there were about 100 people from Newton at the game, and she hopes

for more this year.

“It is a great advantage to being where we are at, only about an hour and a half from Iowa City,” Price said.

“You are getting a discounted ticket, and it is always a fun experience going to a Hawkeye game.”

While Price may be a little biased as an Iowa alumni, the discounted tickets are a great deal for those who have never been to a college football game or Kinnick Stadium.

Colfax native producing The challenge mural for state fair of cleaning up

a meth lab

Demolition might be less costly option, guidelines say

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Karen (Schwartztrauber) Doty paints the top of a corn stalk Sunday at the agriculture building at the Iowa State Fair.

Doty, a native of the Colfax area, was chosen to be the Iowa Department of Agriculture’s 2016 painter to create a mural for the ag building.

Artist painting a project themed around clean water and conservation

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News DES MOINES — When Karen Doty was a child, growing up in Colfax, going to the Iowa State Fair was a time to marvel and stare in awe at the artwork and other magical memories.

This year, Doty is helping create one of those memories — with her bare hands.

Doty recently was selected as this year’s painter to create a water-and-conservation-themed mural during the Iowa State Fair for the ag building. Sunday, she was hard at work, painting the top of a corn stalk that’s part of her landscape sunset design.

“I grew up coming to the fair, and seeing all the beauty here,” Doty said. “So it’s really something special to be able to come here and create something beautiful.”

The selection includes some guidelines, such as working on the mural at least two hours per

day during hours the ag building is open each day of the fair. She’s scheduled to be painting the ag building mural from 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, and she thinks she will probably finish the main work on the mural Thursday or Friday.

“A lot of different people have stopped by,” Doty said. “There are people from Colfax and lots of other places, along with strangers of every age, who have questions about art.”

Doty was Karen Schwartztrauber when she learned about the arts and competed in sports and many extra-curricular activities at Colfax-Mingo High School, where she graduated in 2002.

Her diverse background includes extensive experience with several art mediums, a master’s degree in fine art from Iowa State University, and even a brief stint as a staff member at the Jasper County Tribune.

As both a graduate instructor

at Iowa State and as adjunct faculty at Grand View University, Doty is continuing to help others see what makes art so fascinating and expressive. She is working on a Ph.D. at ISU in human computer interaction.

The mural she’s crafting in the fairgrounds ag building this week is a horizon filled with many of the products of an Iowa that requires healthy water: corn, a rooster, other plants and wildlife and a spectacular sunset.

Being at the state fair each day, Doty has fielded questions from all sorts of visitors from near and far, and from every type of artistic background. She recalls a conversation with a couple that came from Washington state simply to attend the Iowa State Fair.

“Art is who I am, and what I do,” Doty said. “The variety of questions and in everyone’s approach to it is part of the fun.”

CLEANING | 3A

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Roy Heck of Servicemaster Restoration & Cleaning Services displays some cleaning equipment that could be used in cleanup of a building exposed to methamphetamine. While some large cleaning companies won’t work in buildings that have been exposed to methamphetamine production or use, others proceed with caution, using a long list of federal guidelines.

One of the final lines of an Environmental Protection Agency set of guidelines on cleaning a home exposed to methamphetamine is “Demolition may be considered a more cost-effective option.”

Indeed, the decision to demolish a home that has been the site of meth use or production — especially mobile or pre-manufactured homes — is made frequently enough to make it a commonly discussed option for property owners. However, expensive homes or ones exposed only slightly to meth often are candi-

dates for a simple and yet thorough, hazardous-materials intensive cleaning.

After all insurance and law discussions lead to a decision to clean a building that might have had meth exposure, a detailed process must be followed. One Newton-area cleaning service owner shared the steps needed to be taken to ensure potential for methamphetamine contamination has been removed.

James Miller, who owns Integrity Cleaning & Restoration along with his wife Janelle, shared a few of his experiences with cleaning properties that required hazardous materials guidelines. He also shared the federal guidelines and steps for cleaning the interior and exterior of buildings that have been exposed to meth.

Bev Rossow American Family Insurance celebrates 15 years

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The end of one career for Bev Rossow led her to the beginning of a new, successful venture where she is celebrating 15 years. Bev Rossow American Family Insurance Agency, Inc. is in its 15th year of business and hosted an open house Wednesday to celebrate.

“I have always been a small business owner. I had sold my interior landscaping business and was a horticultural editor,” Rossow said. “After the dotcom bust I was looking for other business opportunities.”

Rossow said she was asked about selling insurance but initially said “no way — it would be too boring.” Through the business, though, she has found meeting people of all different ages in different areas of their life has been very rewarding.

“That is what I love,” Rossow said. “That was 15 years ago, and we are still here.”

Like most businesses, the agency has gone through changes in the past 15 years.

The rise of technology has made Rossow modify how to contacts clients.

“We have fewer people coming in the office,” Rossow said.

“The online, texting, emails it is just a different way to communicate. We are glad that we have all of those different way to interact with customers but I still like somebody sitting across

the desk from me and getting to know them and some face to face time, as well.”

The agency also faced challenges when the largest employer in Newton, Maytag, closed shop.

“It has been challenging,” Rossow said. “Fifteen years ago, Maytag was continuing to expand. We’ve seen a lot of wonderful customers move away through the years, adjust to their different economic realities as their paychecks have

changed, as well.”

Rossow said that is why she likes to speak with customers face-to-face. If she can offer changes to the policy she likes the ability to explain the changes and why a customer may or may not need to retain the insurance.

“I always tell people the reason you are writing out a check or sliding a debit card is if there is a claim, you want to make sure you are covered and covered the right way,” Rossow

said.

The business made a big change in the last year, moving to its new downtown location at 106 N. Second Ave. E. “We have a little more space here, and we are glad to be downtown,” Rossow said.

“With Main Street happening and the renovation looking to be started right around the square, we are excited to be down here.”

Through her 15 years in business, Rossow has also been

honored several times for her work. The most prestigious was an all around award for general sales, life insurance sales, retention and customer service satisfaction.

“It is kind of hard to hit on all of those so when you can get that one year it is a very big accomplishment that we are proud of,” Rossow said.

Pella Corporation, manufacturer and designer of windows and doors for homes and commercial buildings, announced it is acquiring Reilly Windows & Doors, a manufacturer and designer of discerning custom window walls and doors for the most exacting builder and architect.

“Reilly and Pella share many of the same values of craftsmanship and product innovation,” Tim Yaggi, president and CEO of Pella Corp., said. “Including Reilly with our Pella Crafted Luxury portfolio allows both brands to serve the luxury architect and builder better.”

Taking effect Aug. 1, Reilly Windows & Doors will remain under the leadership of Michael Reilly and maintain its unique brand and focus on the luxury marketplace. Over time, Reilly will be integrated into the Pella Crafted Luxury collection showcased in the 7,000-square-foot showroom in LuxeHome at Chicago’s Merchandise Mart.

Local & State News Cleaning Continued from Page 1A “Since we commonly clean buildings that have been damaged by fire, we’re used to reviewing hazardous-material handling guidelines,” Miller said. “Generally, a lot of methamphetamine and other ‘hazmat’ decisions use common-sense, better-safe-thansorry logic.”

Miller said he’s seen everything from tabletop items to materials that are part of a house, such as sheetrock, replaced. Some materials simply can’t be cleaned.

“Even though there might be a lot of expense involved in replacing something, if there’s any doubt about whether to clean something, clean it; if it’s a toss-up between cleaning something or replacing it, replace it.”

Kerry Walker, the local franchise owner for Servicemaster Restoration & Cleaning Services, said he doesn’t willingly take on jobs in houses that have been known locations of extensive drug use or production because it would involve Servicemaster’s company-wide insurance.

“As a franchise owner, I could take on a lot of different projects,” Walker said.

“But because corporate helps us out with a lot of insurance

backing, I wouldn’t take that risk.”

Walker said while it’s obvious at many locations that heavy drug activity was taking place, he has found himself discovering the extent of drug-related damage in midjob, having already begun a cleaning process.

“Cleaning services are familiar with smoke damage, and drugs often involve that,” Walker said. “Any kind of heavy drug smoke, be it from cigarettes, marijuana or other sources, makes it really tough to eliminate the smell. From carpets to walls to drop ceilings to flooring, sometimes everything has got to go, followed by sealing with a type of odor-blocker. Lots of material can absorb odors — even the hard plastic of smoke alarms.”

The Drug Enforcement Administration lists eight addresses — five from Newton, two in Prairie City and one in Mingo — in Jasper County as sites where “clandestine laboratories” have been discovered, along with the date of discovery. Some properties have been extensively modified, and have had an entire structure demolished, since a lab was discovered on site.

Here is the DEA’s list, which was last updated July 27: bit. ly/2aCW4lt

The DEA’s 2015 “Drugs of Abuse” guide section on methamphetamine, which can be found here: bit.ly/2aQSlQG There are at least two online publications Miller says he refers to for the best practices in cleaning or removing items and material in homes exposed to methamphetamine.

In cases where there is a discrepancy between procedures for a lab site versus simply a place where methamphetamine was stored or smoked, Miller said, the tendency is to follow the more stringent or safest, most thorough approach.

One is the Environmental Protection Agency’s Voluntary Guidelines for Methamphetamine Laboratory Cleanup; the other is the North Dakota Department of Health’s “Best Management Practices for Cleanups at Methamphetamine Labs.”

Here are some of the highlights from those two sets of guidelines: • Notify owners of all residences and businesses in the immediate vicinity of the affected property — at a minimum, within one block or 500 feet, whichever is greater — that a meth lab was discovered.

• Partial equipment list: Protective clothing (coveralls), vinyl gloves, plastic trash bags, gallon zip-lock plas-

tic bags, cat litter, a camera, cardboard boxes, a shovel and goggles or eye shields.

• Maintain proper ventilation of the structure throughout cleanup. Vent structures for a minimum of two days before cleaning, being careful to circulate air to the outdoors and not to the air intakes of adjacent structures.

• Neutralize acidic solutions with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and basic solutions with weakly acidic wash solutions, such as vinegar, citric or acetic acid.

• Remove all chemicals from the building. Some of the common household chemicals used to produce meth include lye, toluene, Coleman fuel and muriatic acid.

• Scoop up and package solids for proper waste disposal, as directed by local waste management experts.

• Absorb liquids with clay or another non-reactive material and package for proper waste disposal.

• Some large upholstered furniture can be deep-cleaned, particularly in a short-term lab. However, in areas of moderate to high contamination, upholstered furniture and deep-pile carpeting may not be cleanable.

• Check with the local water utility about septic or sewer impacts. Power-flushing of pipes can be done, but it is

Blast in Branson M

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday| Aug. 15, 2016

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

y recent trip to Branson was so fun and relaxing I experienced a slight case of the blues when I returned home. Vacation is such a wonderful time — spent with my family — and I treasure the trips every single year.

However, this year seemed to fly by and was missing a few key players. My sister and her husband were on their honeymoon to Florida, so they were not able to join us. My boyfriend also couldn’t make the trip as we had it scheduled just before we met. Even with them missing, I had a great time with my parents and brother. I couldn’t believe a week had passed when we packed up the car and headed back home.

But let’s not dwell on the sadness felt as we left behind the beautiful hills of the Ozark Mountains, the breathtaking views at Table Rock Lake and the many talented musicians and performers. It is

vacation after all. It’s meant to end, but the memories last forever.

One of the main reasons I asked my parents to plan a Branson trip this year is because they are owners at Palace View Resort and can pretty much go anytime we want. I love Branson because you can do as much or little as you want and still have a blast doing it.

Our main objective this year was to go to a show pretty much every day, and we accomplished that task, taking only Saturday as a rest day after Friday’s travels. Sunday, we started out with one of our favorite shows, “Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede.” It was slightly different than the last time we were there, updating the backgrounds and storyline. It was still the best dinner show in Branson. It’s a must-see every time we are in Branson.

The second night we went to “Rock and Roll Revival.” It was a fun show,

playing loads of rock music from the 50s, 60s and 70s. My favorite set was by David Lawrence who did an entire set as Lionel Richie. He was great.

Next we saw “The Haygoods,” a performing family that we have seen since they were out at Silver Dollar City in 2001. Like the Dixie Stampede, it is a must for our family when we go. The family of eight siblings only have six performing in the show now, with two brothers pursuing other things. The only sister, Catherine, playing the harp is something that I haven’t seen anywhere else. They play a variety of music and instruments, even doing some tap dance routines.

On Wednesday, we were back at a dinner show, taking a cruise on Table Rock Lake on the “Showboat Branson Belle.” We had been to the showboat before, but always for their afternoon show. This time we took in the evening show and got to see Branson at night from the water. It was gorgeous. The show was great, too, with four different acts that celebrated the showboat’s 20 years on the water. Cassandre, the

female vocalist act in the show, has the voice of an angel. She sang a medley of Disney classics that had me grinning nonstop.

The last act we saw was another family of performers — “AYO featuring the Voices of Glory.” They are a little less known in Branson, but they are wonderful to watch. They appeared in America’s Got Talent in 2009, and they have an interesting story. The trio of siblings are 24, 20 and 16 years of age. The youngest and only girl, Natalie did a Whitney Houston cover that sounded perfect. If you are ever in Branson and want to see wonderful young talent, go see AYO at The Hughes Brothers Theatre.

My parents stayed a week longer than my brother and I, which probably added to the sadness as we packed up Friday and headed back to Iowa. I can’t wait for our next vacation. If all goes as planned next year, we will be hanging out with Mickey Mouse at Walt Disney World. Three years is just too long to go without it.

Eye on America John Stossel

Lies politicians tell I don’t want Hillary Clinton to be president. She’s a liar.

But I can’t vote for Donald Trump. He lies almost as often.

Trump denies he ever said things, claiming he never used terms like “fat pig” to describe women, that he never was open to using nuclear weapons against ISIS, that he never mocked Jon Stewart for changing his name. Smears big and small — Trump just denies he said them.

He’s also a bully. He intimidates weaker people by suing them. In business deals, he refuses to pay some of what he owes and then tells creditors: Go ahead and sue me! Creditors often take partial payment because they can’t afford to fight Trump in court.

Trump even filed a $5 million lawsuit against a Miss USA contestant who criticized his pageant. She can’t afford to pay defense lawyers, so she has to shut up.

Trump’s supporters are convinced he’ll shake up the system, but they ignore the evidence that Trump is just one more manipulative member of the rich political class. Plenty of photos show Trump proudly golfing alongside George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and other political insiders whom he now mocks.

But all that matters less than the policies he proposes — it’s the policies that will hurt us.

Trump’s tariffs, sold as protecting the American little guy, actually help big businesses by protecting them from overseas competition. Then they can jack up prices, making life harder for poor American customers.

The Obama administration tried tariffs on tires from China like the 45 percent ones Trump wants to impose, and the results were higher prices — Americans had to spend about $1 billion more to buy tires.

Favored (usually unionized) businesses got protection from competition, but other businesses died or never started because imported supplies were suddenly much more expensive.

Of course, we don’t really know what Trump’s positions are. He’s for gun control, then against it. He was against the minimum wage but now wants to raise it.

Hillary Clinton flip-flops, too. She was for trade pacts, but she’s now against them; against gay marriage, now for it; for the Iraq war, now against it.

Clinton lies even more than Trump. She lies about her emails, running from sniper fire, making $100,000 from a $1,000 investment in cattle futures, etc. This column doesn’t have room for all her lies.

But with Clinton, too, it’s not the lies that will do the most damage, it’s the policies she’ll push — higher taxes, involvement in more foreign wars, endless regulation that will stop innovation.

Most of the time, the danger isn’t politicians’ personal corruption. The real cost to our prosperity and freedom comes from what the politicians do legally.

Though President Barack Obama is a paragon of honesty compared with Trump and Clinton, he has done sleazy things, like secretly sending $400 million in cash to Iran and lying to people about details of Obamacare.

But even when he tells us the truth, Obama does plenty of damage.

His FCC has imposed new rules that will stifle internet innovation. His overtime rules will limit employer flexibility and stunt job growth. Obama’s “stimulus” spending diverted trillions of dollars from better investments the marketplace would have chosen. His limits on internships hurt business and deprive young people of opportunities. His doubling of our debt will burden us forever.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton may be more corrupt than Obama, but it’s not the corruption that hurts us most. It’s the political culture of buying votes by spending taxpayers’ money on special interests.

Berg maintenance shows need for new complex Let me begin this letter by telling you how blessed and honored I feel to be working for the Newton Community School District. Graduating in ’86 from Newton High, I never could have imagined where the path of life was going to take me. I am not a writer as you will see, just a simple maintenance man and by chance the supervisor of maintenance for this district. I am surrounded by some of the most talented and gifted individuals I have ever worked with. People with a true passion for what we do. Craftsman who understand when to fix and when to replace or as my retired co-worker Carol Farver puts it, “A time to cut our losses.” Well folks take it from the men in the trenches; it’s time

Appreciates ‘jewel’ at former country club My topic today is the former Newton Country Club, and the new The Breakfast Club and its morning food, which is good.

The view of the old Newton

to cut our losses. The Berg complex has served us well. Like me, thousands of Newton children have passed through the halls and gone on to start lives of their own. However, we have come to a point where we must and I stress must give this complex a complete mechanical/electrical upgrade.

We are dealing with miles of failing steam boiler piping, cast iron plumbing and copper tubing controls. The boiler system is years beyond its lifespan, the cast iron plumbing is in need of constant repair and the pneumatic control system which involves small copper tubing running throughout the building beneath concrete and block is leaking in so many areas our two large air compressors run near constantly to maintain pressure.

The electrical system is simply undersized for the demands and needs we now encounter in

this day and age. I have not even touched on the facts that it needs a new roof, windows and air conditioning throughout. Simply put, this building was top notch in an era when radiators and chalkboards were commonplace.

Our kids deserve an upgrade.

One thing I can guarantee you is they will get one. We will — at great expense — upgrade all mechanical/electrical needs. This will not be up for vote in September. What will be up for vote is whether we give our children the old car with a rebuilt drive train, faded paint, rusty fenders and bald tires, or should we give them the new car, something they ride in with pride.

Red Pride! Please think hard and consider our children’s and grandchildren’s futures. Please vote yes Sept. 13 to “cut our losses.”

Country Club as I was eating was beautiful — the view of trees and wildlife was great. I said to myself, “this is wonderful eating food and looking at the view of the old Newton Country Club.”

The cost of the meals was low. The outside seats for dining outside was beautiful and I said to myself, “Newton has a jewel of a thing going on here.”

I will support this new business. Come see for yourself. The old club is not the high-flying facility it was back when Maytag was functioning here in Newton. The new look makes you feel like you can fit in, in your own way and feel comfort and welcomed.

Needy wife can’t let her husband out of her sight

DEAR ABBY: This is my second marriage. My first husband died when our daughter was 5 months old. I met my current husband, “Robert,” when she was 6. We have a wonderful relationship as a couple and as a family. He’s an amazing husband and father. We now have another child who is 7 months old.

I fear I have become a problem for Robert. I’m so attached to him that I don’t ever want him to leave. He works from home — even though he shouldn’t — because I want him to be with me. I end up distracting him and he misses deadlines. His job is almost over because the grant is over, and he’s looking for a job. We are both very worried about this.

I know Robert will never complain about my need for his attention.

I know he prefers us to be together, but he needs to work and I need to let him. I don’t know why I struggle with this. I have never behaved this way. — CAN’T LET GO DEAR CAN’T LET GO: I have a hunch that what’s going on with you is that you lost your first husband, and you’re terrified that if this one isn’t with you every minute, something terrible will happen to him, too.

Because this is having a negative impact on his career, it is extremely important that you learn how to manage this insecurity. The quickest way to accomplish it would be to talk this over with a licensed psychotherapist who can give you the insight and the tools you need. Please don’t put it off.

DEAR ABBY: As an established patient with a specialized doctor, I recently went for my annual checkup. My appointment was scheduled a year ago. As I was checking in, I was informed that my doctor now collects all insurance co-pays before

seeing patients.

As a senior citizen, I was shocked.

Being expected to pay before the service makes me feel like he doesn’t trust me. I can understand a convenience store expecting me to pay for my gas upfront because of drive-offs, but not a professional medical provider. I pay all my bills on time and have excellent credit.

It may be my age, but I want to feel respected and trusted. Shouldn’t a doctor’s office trust its established patients enough to allow them to pay once the service has been rendered?

Has our country fallen so low that we are all guilty until proven innocent?

— FRUSTRATED PATIENT IN OKLAHOMA DEAR FRUSTRATED: The reason you were asked for your copay in advance may have nothing to do with YOUR personal trustworthiness. Your doctor may have had more than a few patients who were delinquent in paying.

Because you were offended, this is something you should discuss with your physician who, because of your long relationship, may be willing to make an exception. However, if that’s not the case, you might be more comfortable taking your business to another doctor.

4 Trial delayed for man charged

All aboard small plane that crashed in DM survive DES MOINES — A small plane has crashed at a Des Moines street intersection near the airport, but no one was seriously injured.

The crash happened at the intersection of Southwest 56th Street and Park Avenue around 10 a.m. Saturday just after taking off from Des Moines International Airport. Officials said the pilot and three passengers, all members of the same family, made it out of the prop plane before it was engulfed in flames.

3 Brief police chase ends with fatal crash

DES MOINES — A short police chase in Des Moines ended with a fatal crash when the suspect’s car struck another vehicle. The chase started shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday when an officer spotted a vehicle without license plates, Des Moines Police said. The suspect sped away and less than a minute later crashed into an oncoming vehicle. The driver of the oncoming vehicle, 41-year-old Jason Hunt, died in the crash. A passenger in Hunt’s vehicle, 40-year-old Angela Denning, was taken to a hospital.

2 Man sentenced to prison for child sex abuse

BETTENDORF — A Bettendorf man has been sentenced to up to 30 years in prison for sexually abusing a child younger than 12 over a three-year period.

Joshua Daniel Morales, 21, pleaded guilty in June to three counts of lascivious acts with a child.

Morales was sentenced Thursday to up to 10 years in prison on each count. The sentences will run back-to-back.

DUBUQUE — Trial for a Dubuque man accused of fatally shooting his daughter has again been pushed back.

The first-degree murder trial for 63-year-old Robert Stern has been delayed until Sept. 13. His trial had been scheduled to start Tuesday after initially being pushed back in late April. Police say Stern admitted shooting 27-year-old Kimberly Stern on June 9, 2015, at the home they shared in Dubuque. Court documents say she was shot 17 times with three handguns.

5 Iowa viaduct dealt setback as agency rejects funding

SIOUX CITY — Sioux City’s longplanned viaduct over railroad tracks could be in jeopardy after a federal agency rejected a request for nearly $15 million in funding.

The U.S. Department of Transportation denied the bid for a $14.8 million grant that would have covered nearly three-quarters of the estimated $20.7 million project.

—The Associated Press

In North Dakota, people vs. oil pipeline protest strengthens NEAR THE STANDING ROCK SIOUX RESERVATION, N.D. (AP) — Chekota American Horse and his 8-month-old son traveled a few miles from their home on the nearby Sioux reservation to join the growing protest against a $3.8 billion oil pipeline that’s going into the ground fast. Mekasi Horinek, a Ponca, traveled from Oklahoma.

Carlos Castaneda, who is Sioux and Ute, came from Denver.

“I came here because this is about our water and about his future,” American Horse said of his son, Caden, who on Friday gazed wide-eyed at riders on war-painted horses. Nearby, as bulldozers and backhoes rumbled, tribal members from across the nation chanted prayers, burned sacred herbs and hoisted upside-down American flags.

The months-long “spirit camp” protest by the Standing Rock Sioux against the Dakota Access pipeline — projected by the end of the year to be carrying nearly a half-million barrels of

AP Photo Native Americans protest the Dakota Access oil pipeline on Friday near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation in southern North Dakota. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe went to court to try to block a $3.8 billion pipeline that’s going in the ground fast to carry oil from North Dakota to Illinois. Now tribal members are trying to turn up the heat, with arrests in the pipeline construction zone near the 2.3-million acre reservation that straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border.

crude daily from North Dakota’s rich Bakken oil fields more than 1,000 miles to Illinois — transformed this week from a quiet action to something more active, with about 100 who gathered Friday and with at least 18 people arrested in the construction zone Thursday and Friday, including the tribal chairman.

Tribal members and their supporters are vowing to continue protests and acts of civil disobedience, and the tribe, whose reservation straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border, also is seeking a court order to block the pipeline’s construction, which it says would disturb sacred sites and have a deleterious effect

on the environment.

Castaneda, 35, said his conscience called him to travel from Colorado to the protest at the confluence of the Cannonball and Missouri rivers.

“All the way around, this pipeline is wrong.

My business is on hold and I will be out here for as long as it takes,” he said of his tiling busi-

ness.

Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners announced the four-state pipeline in 2014, days after North Dakota Republican Gov. Jack Dalrymple urged industry and government officials to build more pipelines to keep pace with the state’s prolific oil production, saying that would reduce truck and train traffic, curb natural gas flaring and create more markets for the state’s oil and gas.

In North Dakota, the pipeline would cross beneath the Little Missouri River once and the Missouri River twice.

The company said the pipeline would include safeguards such as leak detection equipment; workers monitoring the pipeline remotely in Texas could close valves within three minutes if a breach is detected.

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe late last month sued federal regulators for approving the pipeline, which would be the largest-capacity pipeline yet in North Dakota. The tribe argues the pipeline would dis-

turb sacred sites and affect drinking water for the thousands of residents on the reservation and the millions who rely on it downstream.

“This water is just not for us,” said Brave Heart, a 64-year-old Vietnam veteran and a Lakota Sioux from Fort Peck in eastern Montana. “It’s for everyone and future generations.”

Armed security guards hired by the company stood watch over construction crews on Wednesday. The next day — the same day “Divergent” actress Shailene Woodley joined the protests — the gathering took a turn, as some people entered a zone established for workers’ safety, Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said.

About 20 North Dakota Highway Patrol troopers and 10 deputies from his department, one-third of the county’s force, stood by to monitor the protests Friday afternoon.

Horinek, one of the protest organizers, said he was grateful for the troopers and deputies.

Iowa medical, psychology boards mull conversion therapy rule DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa boards overseeing doctors and psychologists considered Friday whether to adopt a policy that would ban state-licensed professionals from counseling gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender children to change their sexual orientation in a practice known as conversion therapy.

The Iowa Board of Psychology on Friday voted to deny a petition that would have prohibited Iowa licensed mental health providers from trying to reverse a patient’s sexual orientation, said board spokeswoman Sharon Dozier.

She declined to discuss the reasons, saying the board will

release its full decision later.

The petition submitted in February was signed by 695 people. It said a third of LGBTQ individuals report they were sent outside the home to a therapist or religious leader to “cure, treat or change their sexual orientation.”

LGBTQ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioning.

An Iowa Board of Medicine committee declined to take action Friday on the ban.

Committee Chairman Ronald Cheney said the group needs further study before making a recommendation to the full board.

The board, which licenses and regulates medical doctors in Iowa, also was petitioned in February. The board denied the petition in April, saying it needed more information and assigned the four-member committee to study it.

The issue has become controversial, and the Obama administration in April called for an end to the practice.

Seventeen states have considered laws that would prohibit conversion therapy. California, New Jersey, Oregon, Illinois, Vermont and Washington D.C. have passed such laws.

A group of pastors is suing Illinois over its law, contend-

ing in a Thursday filing that the prohibition violates free speech and religious rights.

Illinois’ law applies to therapists and other licensed counselors, but the portion of the law that concerns pastors makes anyone liable for consumer fraud if they practice or advertise conversion therapy that portrays homosexuality as a mental disorder.

The Iowa Senate passed a bill earlier this year but it was not considered in the House.

The Board of Medicine committee on Friday heard from a doctor who said conversion therapy has been shown to be harmful to children.

Dr. Katie Imborek, who runs the LGBTQ Clinic at the University of Iowa, said she’s seen more than 300 patients since opening in October 2012 and may need to expand.

She said she doesn’t believe Iowa doctors or psychologists perform conversion therapy but that it’s possible some may refer patients to individuals who do.

“It seems like there are still folks in Iowa that are looking for that and they are going to licensed psychologists or therapists trying to seek those services,” she said. “It’s clear that this is something that continues to be talked about and continues to be offered.”

Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death. A recent study found that participants who drank more water had a dramatically reduced risk of heart attack. The study followed 20,000 adults for 6 years. Those men who drank 5 or more glasses of water a day had a 54% lower risk compared to those who drank 2 or fewer glasses of water a day. Women lowered their risk by 41%.

Researchers believe that drinking water may lower risk because it prevents dehydration, which makes the blood thicker.

Dehydration also increases cortisol and raises levels of a compound, fibrinogen, which is a clotting agent.

Phelps wins 23rd gold, then announces retirement RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Michael Phelps claimed his 23rd gold medal. Puerto Rico won its first ever. And Jamaica sprinters earned back-to-back wins in the marquee Olympic sprinting event.

Phelps helped lift the 4x100 medley relay team to victory Saturday in what marked his last race before retiring, capping a night of extraordinary accomplishments in the 2016 Olympics.

Minutes after winning Olympic gold, Usain Bolt unlaced his now-famous gold spikes and took selfies with fans in the near-capacity stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

Then, he turned his yellow hat backward, kneeled down and gave the crowd what it really wanted: The arching “To the World Pose.”

The Jamaican superstar won the signature event in track and field Sunday night added this race to his already gleaming resume as the first person to capture three straight 100-meter titles at the Olympics.

Bolt beat American Justin Gatlin, who was greeted by the fans with raucous boos, by .08 seconds. Andre de Grasse of Canada won the bronze.

AP photo United States’ Michael Phelps, center, and teammates celebrate after winning gold in the men’s 4 x 100-meter medley relay final at the 2016 Summer Olympics on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Elaine Thompson of Jamaica won the women’s 100-meter title in 10.71 seconds, ending fellow Jamaican ShellyAnn Fraser-Pryce’s bid to win the event for a third straight Olympics. She won the race in dominating, Usain Bolt-like fashion — and it may be a sign

Colfax-Mingo hosts inaugural Fall Sports Fun Night

Troy Hyde/Daily News The Colfax-Mingo football team practices for the first time in pads early Saturday morning at Colfax-Mingo High School.

Iowa QB Beathard fine after knee scare IOWA CITY (AP) — C.J. Beathard says he’s fine. Now, he can’t help but laugh at the rumors and frantic texts he received this week asking if he had a broken ankle — or worse.

Beathard missed a couple days of workouts this week with a bruised knee after his left knee got rolled up on in practice. The senior quarterback returned to practice Friday and looked sharp in limited reps Saturday during Iowa’s annual Kids Day workout at Kinnick Stadium.

“Fortunately, it’s nothing major,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.

“If there was a game today, he would have been playing full speed.”

Beathard wore a precautionary knee brace Saturday at the team’s final public practice before it opens the season against Miami (Ohio) on Sept. 3. Beathard has worn a brace before, but says it slows him down too much.

Iowa’s three backup quarterbacks took more snaps than usual during the scrimmage at the end of practice. Ferentz said it was an opportunity to see what they could do with the first-team offense.

Beathard participated in seven-on-seven drills and then played only two series during the scrimmage. But he says the knee feels good and he’s relieved it’s only a minor injury.

“It could have been a lot worse than it was,” Beathard said. “It didn’t look good.”

The Hawkeyes, who went 12-2 and reached the Rose Bowl last season, are hoping Beathard can finally be healthy this fall.

Beathard was banged up most of last season with a hip injury and still earned second-team All-Big Ten honors, throwing for 2,809 yards with 17 touchdowns against only five interceptions.

Iowa State backup QB Noland out for year

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior Ries Wilson goes through a drill during a volleyball practice at the Colfax-Mingo Fall Sports Fun Night on Friday night.

AMES (AP) — Iowa State backup quarterback Zeb Noland is out for the season after injuring his knee Thursday during practice.

Cyclones coach Matt Campbell said Friday that Noland, a freshman, hurt his knee in a non-contact drill.

Campbell didn’t further specify the injury.

Noland threw for 1,627 yards and 17 touchdowns last season at Oconee County High in Georgia.

Noland’s injury likely means that sophomore Jacob Park, a highly-touted transfer from Georgia, will serve as Joel Lanning’s backup.

Ryan Moore wins John Deere Classic for 5th PGA Tour title

NASCAR photo Justin Marks, driver of the No. 42 Katerra Chevrolet, celebrates in Victory Lane after winning 4th annual NASCAR XFINITY Series Mid-Ohio Challenge at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Saturday in Lexington Ohio.

Marks wins NASCAR Xfinity race at rainy Mid-Ohio LEXINGTON, Ohio (AP) — Justin Marks splashed through the rain at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Saturday for his first NASCAR Xfinity Series victory.

The 35-year-old Marks pulled away on a restart with two laps to go in the 75-lap race on the 2.085-mile, 13turn road course, finishing 3.7 seconds ahead of pole-sitter Sam Hornish Jr. “These are as tough conditions as you can put drivers in,” Marks said. “It’s just really hard on everybody when it’s dry and wet and you don’t really know what to do, so strategy plays a big role in it.

“My specialty is road racing in the rain in these stock cars and I don’t get much of

Olympics Continued from Page 1B While competitions wrapped up in swimming and rowing, they’re just heating up in track and field, where Mo Farah of Britain recovered from a fall to defend his Olympic 10,000-meter title and American Jeff Henderson overtook Luvo Manyonga of South Africa on his last jump to win the long jump gold medal.

Phelps’ victory came just minutes after the women’s medley relay gave the United States its 1,000th Olympic gold medal in the history of the Summer Games.

If this was indeed the end, then Phelps went out in style, with 28 medals overall, having won five golds and a silver in Rio de Janeiro.

He insists he won’t be coming out of retirement again for Tokyo in 2020.

“I’m not going four more years and I’m standing by that,” he said.

Other highlights from the weekend: American Biles Wins Vault: Twisting and flipping through the air with explosive precision, Simone Biles easily captured gold in the women’s vault final Sunday. Her twovault average of 15.966 was more than 0.7 better than silver medalist Maria Paseka of Russia.

Hawkeyes Continued from Page 1B Beathard had surgery to repair a sports hernia in January. He missed the team’s spring game in April with a bruised right shoulder — another precautionary move.

Given Beathard’s injury history, it’s not surprising that rumors swirled this week on social media and online when he wasn’t seen in photo of practice posted by the university.

“I start hearing all these rumors and people texting me,

an opportunity to do it, so when that opportunity presents itself, you have to take advantage of it.”

Marks dedicated the victory to late Chip Ganassi driver Bryan Clauson, the 27-yearold dirt racer who died last Sunday night from injuries in a sprint car accident in Kansas. All of the cars had “BC” decals.

Marks started 16th in the second of the series’ three road-course races.

He took the lead from Ty Dillon with 10 laps left, and had a big lead with four left to go when T.J. Bell went off the track and brought out the eighth and final caution.

With the rain falling harder, Marks cautiously negotiat-

ed the slippery final laps. He led 43 laps in Chip Ganassi Racing’s No. 42 Chevrolet.

“My hats off to Justin Marks,” Hornish said. “I generally hold myself as a pretty decent rain racer and even given the opportunity there at the end, I couldn’t do anything with him.

“I would have had to take massive chances with our car to be able to do anything and you still got to pass him to keep up with him. ... Justin just went out there and was just a monster in the wet.”

Ryan Blaney was third, followed by Dillon, Justin Allgaier, Erik Jones, Andy Lally, Brendan Gaughan, series points leader Elliott Sadler and Brennan Poole.

pic 400-meter title in a world-record 43.03 seconds, lowering the mark set by Michael Johnson in 1999. And the South African did it from the outside lane.

Van Niekerk stormed out of the blocks and kept going, holding off 2012 Olympic champion Kirani James and 2008 winner LaShawn Merritt, who both ran season-best times to finish with silver and bronze.

Mustafina Ends American Dominance: Russia’s Aliya Mustafina has ended the U.S. women’s team dominance atop the podium in women’s gymnastics. Mustafina defended her Olympic title in uneven bars Sunday, edging American Madison Kocian in a tight final. Mustafina’s score of 15.900 was just a touch better than Kocian’s score of 15.833. The difference was the difficulty of Mustafina’s routine. Sophie Scheder of German was third. Gabby Douglas, the 2012 Olympic all-around champion, finished seventh.

Farah Tumbles, Still Wins: Not even a tumble could stop Mo Farah from defending his Olympic 10,000-meter title in a dramatic final where he worked his way back through the field, then lost and regained the lead on the last lap. The Olympic and world champion tripped and fell to the track after tangling with another runner with 15 laps to go.

American Manuel Grabs Another Medal: Pernille

Blume of Denmark held off Simone Manuel to capture gold in the 50-meter freestyle at the Rio Olympics. She touched in 24.07 seconds.

Manuel, the American cogold medalist in the 100 free, settled for silver in 24.09.

USA Basketball Survives Again: Klay Thompson ended an Olympic-long slump with seven 3-pointers and 30 points, and the U.S. needed almost all of them to hold off France 100-97 in basketball Sunday. It was the third straight close call for the favorites.

Felix Sprints Into 400 Final: World champion Allyson Felix ran a season-best 49.67 to lead the qualifiers into the women’s 400-meter final. She went out hard and coasted to the finish ahead of Shaunae Miller, the world championship silver medalist of Bahamas. .

Murray Makes Tennis History: Andy Murray of Britain beat Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina for his second consecutive Olympic singles gold medal. Murray’s 7-5, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 victory Sunday at the Rio Games makes him the first man or woman with two Olympic singles titles, let alone two in a row.

Iowa Native Simpson Qualifies for 1,500 Final: Webster City native Jennifer Simpson will run in the women’s 1,500-meter Final at the Rio Games following a fourth-place finish in her semifinal heat Sunday night.

asking me if I broke my ankle,” Beathard said. “I’m like, ‘Where do you get this i n f o r m a t i on from?’

It’s funny for me.”

Beathard’s Beathard injury drew the most attention, but several key Hawkeyes missed Saturday’s practice.

Tight end George Kittle, cornerback Greg Mabin and linebacker Ben Niemann — all starters — did not dress

Saturday. Ferentz expects them back in practice as early as Monday.

Sophomore Jay Scheel, who emerged this offseason as someone to help with Iowa’s depth at wide receiver, missed practice with a hamstring injury. He’s expected to return next week.

Ferentz said tight end Jon Wisnieski (knee sprain) is going to miss a couple weeks and defensive lineman Jake Hulett (leg fracture) is out 4-6 weeks.

The Hawkeyes will finish their fall camp Friday with a closed scrimmage.

SILVIS, Ill. (AP) — Ryan Moore won the John Deere Classic on Sunday for his fifth PGA Tour title, closing with a 4-under 67 for a two-stroke victory over Ben Martin.

The 33-year-old Moore finished at 22-under 262 at TPC Deere Run, playing the final 46 holes without a bogey and making only one in 72 holes.

He won for the first time since successfully defending his CIMB Classic title in Malaysia in 2014.

Martin had three straight back-nine birdies in a 68.

South Korea’s Whee Kim shot 67 to tie for third with Morgan Hoffmann (71) at 17 under.

Moore birdied Nos. 2, 4, 9 and 10 and closed with eight pars. He had a five-stroke lead when Hoffmann bogeyed the 12th hole. Martin, playing with Moore in the final twosome, birdied Nos. 12-14, but couldn’t get closer than two strokes. Martin parred his last four holes, and Hoffmann his final six.

Moore hit 13-of-14 fairways in the final round and 14-of-18 greens in regulation, including the 18th, which he two-putted from 47 feet for

the victory. He opened with three straight 65s in the event thrown off schedule by rain Thursday and Friday.

Jordan Spieth chose not to defend his title because he didn’t think it would be appropriate in light of his decision to skip the Rio Olympics.

Wesley Bryan, the leader Friday when play was suspended, tied for eighth at 14 under after his second straight 70. He earned a PGA Tour card last week with his third Web.com Tour victory of the year.

NCAA champion Aaron Wise followed his third-round 63 with a 70 to tie for 16th at 12 under in his PGA Tour debut as a pro. The former Oregon player won a PGA Tour Canada event two weeks ago in Edmonton, Alberta.

Zach Johnson, the 2012 winner and member of the tournament’s board, shot a 69 to tie for 34th at 9-under 275.

He’s from nearby Cedar Rapids.

Steve Stricker had a 72 to tie for 52nd at 6 under. The 49-year-old Stricker, a former University of Illinois player from Wisconsin, won the event in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Lochte: US swimmers are ‘safe and unharmed’ after robbery RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Ryan Lochte and three other American swimmers were robbed at gunpoint early Sunday by thieves posing as police officers who stopped their taxi and took their money and belongLochte ings.

In the latest security incident to hit the Rio de Janeiro Games, Lochte told NBC that one of the robbers put a gun to his forehead before taking his wallet.

No one was injured.

“While it is true that my teammates and I were the vic-

tims of a robbery early Sunday morning, what is most important is that we are safe and unharmed,” Lochte said in a message posted on Instagram.

Lochte and his teammates were returning to the athletes’ village by taxi after a night out at the French Olympic team’s hospitality house in the Rodrigo de Freitas area in the upscale south zone of the city.

The outing was several hours after Olympic swimming ended Saturday night at the Rio Games.

Traveling with Lochte were Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen.

USA Today and Fox Sports Australia first reported the news, citing Lochte’s mother, Ileana Lochte.

Newton Water Board Meeting Minutes Friday, June 17, 2016 The Newton Waterworks Board of Trustees met in regular session on Friday, June 17, 2016 at the Newton City Council Chambers.

Present were Lee Zmolek, Bret Doerring, and L.D. Palmer.

Absent: Maureen Lockwood. Also present was Field Service Director Marty Hoffert.

Chairman Pro Tem Bret Doerring called the meeting to order at 12:02 PM. The Board approved the May Board Minutes by consent.

Lee Zmolek moved to approve the May Financials as presented.

Bret Doerring seconded the motion.

Motion Approved Chair Bret Doerring tabled discussion and action on a rate adjustment until the July Board meeting.

A full Board should be present to take any action on a rate adjustment.

The manager reported that the IDNR has still not given any indication as to what kind of structure they would allow to cover the Backwash Tank. Fox Engineering has tried to get a response from the IDNR engineering group, but none forthcoming.

Marty Hoffert presented the Water Treatment and Distribution report. The static well water level for May is 22.0'. Marty also told the Board that they had worked some overtime because of higher water demand and CIWA was pumping water after normal plant operation hours which lowered the clearwell and we needed to play catchup. The distribution crews is working on the W.12th St. S. project to construct 12” water main to the Cardinal Hills project. The manager told Board that the JR Stelzer Co. had completed the first year of painting fire hydrants per the contract.

The manager presented an economic development update to the Board.

The next meeting will be held on Friday, July 15th 2016 in the City Council chambers.

The meeting was adjourned.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’re more interested than you were, less than you will be. This is the sweet spot of attraction, impossible to savor because you’re too deep in the chase of it. Retrospect will bring a lot of attention and love on this day.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You don’t need a miraculous twist of fate to make this relationship work. All you need is a clear understanding of what you want and what the other person wants, and a sincere desire to learn how to bring those things together.

You have easier access to the heart of your love than you have in a long time. What gives you this open door?

Trust. You’ve earned it by doing as you say you will or better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Motive -- that’s what you’re in tune with. You know human nature. It’s why no one can get away with anything seedy, sneaky or sketchy around you.

You won’t have to talk about your work, defend your actions or explain yourself in any way.

You’ve earned this. You’ve already proven yourself and now they’ll step back and watch you fly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If the efforts are strong but the plan is weak, the results will fail. Check the foundation. Gather opinions about the blueprint. Ask the old-timers for advice. With this approach, your hard work won’t go wasted.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

People are generally on their best behavior for the first week on the job, or in the new relationship or residence. It doesn’t take too long for old habits to set in, though. Heed all early warning signs as prophecies.
