The first of its kind in Newton, the event is focused on creating conversations between young professionals living in Jasper County and their elected leaders in government at local, state and federal levels. In a round table discussion format, Rogers said she hopes to have an open conversation with Loebsack about issues that affect young professionals.

Complimentary wine will be provided.

“I am excited to help the Jasper County Young Professionals kick off their series of roundtables. As a former college teacher, I know how important it is to hear from young people and get their unique perspectives.

Colfax businessman killed in crash involving CMB football players

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The Story Sheriff ’s Office announced Friday that two Collins-Maxwell-Baxter students were involved in a vehicle collision that took the life of a Maxwell man wellknown to many in Jasper County.

Close to 6 a.m. Friday, Nash Kennedy, 15, of Collins, and a teammate were on the way to a CMB football practice, when the vehicle they were in collided with a vehicle driven by Jacob L. Myers, 33, of Maxwell, at an uncontrolled intersection in southeastern Story County.

Myers — who had to be extricated from his vehicle — was pronounced dead at the scene. He once wore the same CMB Raiders uniform himself, and was the co-owner of Our Family Veterinary Clinics in Colfax and Maxwell, along with his wife, Sarah.

Kennedy, who was driving, and his passenger, 15-year-old Brock Burton of Maxwell, were treated and released at the scene with non-life threatening injuries. Kennedy was driving to practice on a school permit.

The collision happened at the intersection of 305th Street and 660th Avenue in a rural area north of Collins and northeast of Maxwell.

Kennedy was driving westbound on 305th Street and Myers was southbound on 660th Avenue when they collided at the unmarked “T” intersection.

The initial investigation indicates that Kennedy failed to yield while entering an uncontrolled intersection, but no charges were initially filed. Charging decisions will be made upon completion of the Story County Sheriff ’s Office’s investigation into the crash.

CMB football coach Rob Luther said losing a former student-athlete,

CRASH | 3A

Newton’s Carkhuff to compete in Ironman Triathlon

By Savannah Eadens Newton Daily News When first hearing of an Ironman triathlon, Scott Carkhuff thought there was no possibility it could ever be something in which he’d complete.

The Ironman triathlon is considered the ultimate triathlon — a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run. To become an “Ironman,” participants must finish the triathlon in 17 hours or less.

Carkhuff, a 2002 Newton High School graduate, decided to attempt “the next big thing” after competing in several triathlons, sprints and marathons. The father of two and salesman at Cline Tool spends anywhere from 16-18 hours per week training for the Ironman. But he didn’t al-

ways know he wanted to be an endurance athlete.

In high school, Carkhuff played basketball and football, but was always getting injured in those sports, he said.

“I got a bike after high school, and discovered I really liked it and really wanted to race,” Carkhuff said. “A little while after that, our YMCA did a small local triathlon and me and a buddy did it, and I just got hooked after that.”

In the past year, Carkhuff competed in about 10 events, he said.

He was sponsored by Kyle’s Bikes, a bike shop in Ankeny, and was provided with gear and discounts.

Carkhuff said the endurance training and competing in triathlons is really a hobby, and his

passion.

“I am honestly pretty competitive, and I think that is what drives it,” he said. “I just like it; it’s fun.

Why do something you don’t like? You have to like it to want to do what I’m doing.”

Before training for the Ironman, Carkhuff had already built up his endurance for a half-Ironman. He has since followed a 20-week-plan leading up to the race. On most mornings, he swims at the YMCA, then bikes or runs for three hours in the evenings, after he is off work. On the weekend, Carkhuff said he will bike on highways for five to six hours.

“I always feel like his drive to train is not just endurance, it’s speed,” Carkhuff ’s wife Kylie said. “So he’s got to be fast

County, Des Moines metro and other surrounding areas, and its specialty is the installation of walk-in baths and showers.

These walk-in products are attractive as a safe and secure alternative to a traditional stepin shower, which can become a greater challenge for many.

Royal Plumbing takes pride in being able to help people make the transition and say a walk-in tub, in most cases, only takes two days.

“We want to offer families an opportunity to keep their independence at an affordable price,” Lindsay said.

Royal Plumbing employees make at-home estimates but the business also provides a showcase for its clients to get a better look and feel for products. The showroom is located at 107 S East St. in Prairie City.

Royal Plumbing was named business of the year during a Prairie Days celebration July 25 due to its business expansion, large employment base and involvement in the community.

“Each year, we honor a business that supports the community in more ways than just operating in Prairie City. Royal Plumbing has been a financial sponsor to Prairie Days for many years and we wanted to

PRAIRIE CITY — Not every business can grow its employee base from one to 40 in fewer than 10 years, but that’s what business owner Travis Landwehr has done at Royal Plumbing in Prairie City. As the business celebrates its expansion and large employment base, city organizers have recently recognized the company’s contributions to the community with the 2015 Prairie Days Business of the Year award.

Royal Plumbing is a local business owned by resident Landwehr, who started the company in 2006. His wife, Lindsay, works at the business office while his father, Ernie, is the lead in sales. Travis and Lindsay live just north of Prairie City and supports the community it services.

Landwehr has grown his business immensely in the last nine years, becoming a credible, experienced plumbing service company. Landwehr has gone from one employee to now having more than 40 employees, and he has expanded his market across the entire state of Iowa.

Royal Plumbing specializes in residential, new construction and commercial plumbing in Jasper

recognize them for that. These financial contributions are necessary to continue to have events such as Prairie Days,” Prairie Days committee member Stacie Alleger said.

“We are very happy to have received this award from the community and to be located here in Prairie City. We appreciate the recognition,” Lindsay said.

The Landwehr’s have long resided in the Prairie City-Monroe area and couldn’t imagine settling elsewhere. Travis and Stacie said they are happy to be located in Prairie City, “a great place to raise a family.” The couple have three young children and the business and its employees allow them to have flexible schedules. The owners also take pride on being very family-orientated toward its workers and working with their schedule needs.

“Royal Plumbing is a growing business that chooses to remain here in Prairie City providing not only services to our community but employment opportunities as well. The owners live, work and raise their family here in PC, too,” Alleger said.

HONG KONG (AP) — World stock markets were mostly higher Monday as the yuan steadied and Greece inched closer to receiving its latest bailout.

KEEPING SCORE: European stocks opened higher, with France’s CAC 40 up 0.5 percent to 4,982.93, while Germany’s DAX gained 0.4 percent to 11,032.42.

Britain’s FTSE 100 was flat at 6,549.97.

U.S. stocks were poised to open slightly lower, with Dow futures down less than 0.1 percent to 17,432.00. Broader S&P 500 futures dipped 0.1 percent to 2,088.00.

GREEK CRISIS: European finance ministers on Friday approved the first 26 billion euros ($29 billion) that Greece needs to rebuild its economy.

German lawmakers will decide on the package on Wednesday in a special parliamentary session, at which dozens of lawmakers from German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative bloc are expected to oppose it.

YUAN STEADIES: Chinese authorities raised by a smidgen the daily level for the country’s currency, which is allowed to rise or fall by 2 percent against the dollar each day in the spot markets. Monday’s rate fix further calmed Asian markets after Beijing last week devalued the yuan, which

resulted in the currency weakening as much as 3 percent.

JAPAN ECONOMY: The Nikkei was lifted after government data showed Asia’s second-biggest economy contracted 1.6 percent in the April-June quarter on bad weather and slowing China demand, raising hopes of fresh stimulus. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has championed a huge monetary easing program aimed at kick-starting economic growth, but analysts say the poor results so far suggest that the central bank may pump in even more money in the months to come, a move that would also support the stock market.

ANALYST VIEW: “These numbers are in no way positive as the Japanese economy teeters on the brink of full contraction,” said Stephen Innes, senior foreign exchange trader at OANDA. “The data continues to lend support for additional quantitative easing in Japan.”

BLAST FALLOUT: Shares of Tianjin Port Development Holdings tumbled 13 percent as worries deepened over last week’s huge explosions at the busy Chinese port city. The blasts, which originated at a warehouse storing more hazardous material than permitted, left at least 114 people dead and 70 missing.

Americans waiting longer than ever to buy first homes WASHINGTON (AP) — Short of cash and unsettled in their careers, young Americans are waiting longer than ever to buy their first homes.

The typical first-timer now rents for six years before buying a home, up from 2.6 years

in the early 1970s, according to a new analysis by the real estate data firm Zillow. The median first-time buyer is age 33 — in the upper range of the millennial generation, which roughly spans ages 18 to 34. A generation ago, the

median first-timer was about three years younger.

The delay reflects a trend that cuts to the heart of the financial challenges facing millennials: Renters are struggling to save for down payments. Increasingly, too,

they’re facing delays in some key landmarks of adulthood, from marriage and children to a stable career, according to industry and government reports.

These shifts help explain why homeownership, long a

source of middle class identity and economic opportunity, has started to decline. The share of the U.S. population who own homes has slid to 63.4 percent, a 48-year low, according to the Census Bureau.

Local News Carkhuff Continued from Page 1A “If you just drink water all day, you’ll die,” Carkhuff said. “You have to figure out what works and how to fuel your body throughout the day so that you can keep going while you’re burning all of that energy. Part of training is your body figuring out what kind of food you can put in it … I call it training your gut.”

The Ironman triathlon has multiple fuel stations throughout the course, and two volunteers per athlete.

Carkhuff said that the aspect of the race he is most anxious for is the swim start, which marks the beginning of the race and features a couple thousand athletes beginning the 2.4 mile swim — kicking, shoving and sometimes punching along the way. Carkhuff said his strength will be “anything out of the water.”

Training in open-water has proven difficult

in Newton, but the family has made a few trips to Raccoon River so Carkhuff can prepare for the Ironman.

“If you were to ask me if I think he’s prepared, if I think he can go out and do it tomorrow, I would say yes,” Kylie Carkhuff said.

Everybody is betting on what time Carkhuff will finish the race, although he will not give a definite answer to what his goal time is.

“I don’t want to say how long it will take me because really, anything can happen,” Carkhuff said.

The weekend of Sept.

Opinion

Start the Press

Timehop and it won’t stop

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Aug. 17, 2015

Two little girls dressed in beautiful gowns pose next to each other wearing mischievous smiles. The image instantly draws a sense of distant familiarity. My heart smiles and breaks at the same time.

This particular photo of our girls was sent to me via text from my husband. “This was on my Facebook from five years ago today. [emoji with a tear dropping] How time flies.”

Yes, it certainly does.

I responded with an “awwwww” and my own sad-faced emoji. I suggested I’d rather have our little kids back than these growing up way too quickly ones we have now.

It’s a thought that comes to me almost daily thanks to the app Timehop and very similar-themed Memories by Facebook.

Timehop is marketed as “a timecapsule of you” but it could just as easily be a “constant re-

minder that you’re aging and your kids really don’t think you’re that cool anymore.”

I love and hate it at the same time.

On one hand, I get to reflect on great times and great memories, particularly with family.

Yes, I’m one that posts a lot of kid-centric things — for two reasons. The first: our kids are hilarious, brilliant and adorable. The second: it’s a super easy way to keep our family in the loop.

Hopping back in time during the summer is typically a great time. Our little ones at the lake and pool, vacations, weddings and other outdoor excursions.

On the other hand, it’s not nearly as fun to recount winter weather (sledding photos are an exception) when you’re surrounded by the white stuff — cold and miserable.

Summertime has also marked a few career moves for me, so I’ve been able to enjoy looking back

at those moments. There was a mojito-themed going away party with great friends and colleagues in Fort Dodge and an open house in Marshalltown.

Another recent highlight was when several former and current colleagues and I enjoyed reflecting on President Obama’s stop in Marshalltown three years ago. It was awesome to step just outside the newspaper office and watch POTUS waving to people on Main Street from his bus.

My Timehop pulled the photo of Obama on the bus along with a photo of my two staffers who were dressed to the nines to go rub shoulders with the national media. Although I didn’t have it captured in my social media memories, the fact that one of those staffers took a selfie with Nancy O’Dell from “Entertainment Tonight” is burned into my real memory. It’s probably a good thing he’s no longer pursuing a journalism career.

In a couple of weeks, I know I’ll be reminded of our little kids in backpacks heading into younger grades, and this will pull on my heartstrings and make me long for those days. I’ll curse Timehop for reminding me, yet at the same time I’ll love reflecting on those times.

I could delete the app and try to stay focused on the present, but I don’t think I would be happy with the decision either. As long as I don’t drift into depression for time passing by too quickly and instead just take a moment to enjoy those memories, I should be fine. I just can’t spend too much time living in the past.

As a wise, but fictional movie character once said — Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Eye on America

Immigration is great

Another View

Five laws that made America a better place Our country has no shortage of big problems. While big challenges are nothing new for Americans, how we deal with them has changed.

Fifty years ago, rising social unrest forced Congress to deal with big things — like voting rights, immigration, and Klinger access to health care and education. During a seven-month period in 1965, Congress passed five significant laws that dealt with these pressing issues of the day. These laws forever changed life in America.

On Aug. 6, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act. It guaranteed the right to vote for black people in the South after decades of protests and boycotts by civil rights activists. The Voting Rights Act established federal oversight of elections in states with long-standing records of racial exclusion.

That same summer, Congress passed Medicare, the greatest single extension of access to health care and a more dignified life the country has ever experienced. Today, nearly 55 million

Americans rely on Medicare for their access to health care.

Around the same time, the Immigration and Nationality Act ended quotas that were largely based on race and replaced them with an immigration system that relied more on skills and family ties. Our country became more diverse and prosperous as a result.

That year, Congress also passed two of the nation’s most important education laws.

One, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, was a sweeping reform that invested federal funds in local schools for the first time, with an emphasis on improving the quality of school systems that served poor children.

The other, the Higher Education Act, increased federal funding of public universities and established the first low-interest college loan program to make higher education more accessible and affordable.

Congress passed these programs because the American people demanded them and backed up their demands with actions — demonstrations, boycotts, sit-ins and shutdowns. And we were willing to pay for our nation to advance.

Fifty years ago, a taxpayer earning the median income paid between a quarter and a third of

their income in taxes, similar to how much today’s median income family pays. But the contributions of America’s wealthiest families and most prosperous corporations have plummeted.

The top income tax rate on the wealthiest Americans was 70 percent in 1965, but the top rate today is just 39.5 percent. Corporations paid a top federal tax rate of 48 percent fifty years ago, which has dropped to only 35 percent today. And after loopholes and deductions, neither the wealthy nor corporations pay close to the official tax rate, meaning they’re contributing even less to the programs and services on which we all rely.

Surveys show a majority of American voters still value public schools, higher education, Medicare, family unification, and the right to vote — and that they’re willing to pay their fair share. Yet Congress has obstructed progress and cut programs and agencies crucial to the nation’s well-being and prosperity.

If lawmakers can’t take a lesson from the Congress of 1965, the rest of us should send them a memo: Deliver on our priorities or we’ll vote you out of your jobs.

Yikes, you really hate me!

Many of you, anyway, based on Twitter and Faceb o o k c o m ments posted after I argued immigration w i t h A n n Coulter on my By John Stossel T V show.

“Move into an illegal-heavy neighborhood and get back to us!”

“Another libertarian who believes illegal invaders are good for our country.

Madness.”

Madness?

Clearly, lots of Americans are mad about immigration. But we libertarians believe that people trapped in horrible countries deserve a chance at a better life and that free trade in labor, not just products, is a good thing.

Why would I think that when my Facebook “fans” tell me things like: “Most immigrants, legal & illegal, get food stamps & welfare”?

Because that’s not true.

“Almost all welfare programs in the U.S. are limited to legal immigrants living here at least five years,” points out Cato Institute policy analyst Alex Nowrasteh.

Of course, some immigrants cheat, many hospitals lose money treating undocumented people and immigrants’ kids get free public schooling. On average, the lifetime fiscal impact of the average immigrant is negative $3,000, says the National Research Council.

But the NRC goes on to say that descendants of the immigrant make a positive fiscal contribution of $83,000.

That’s a big win for America.

Even illegal immigration helps delay the bankruptcy of Social Security and Medicare. Young illegal workers pay into the system — but most don’t collect. “Medicare and Social Security — the biggest

welfare programs,” says Nowrasteh. “Immigrants subsidize those programs massively.”

Health policy journal Health Affairs says in 2009 immigrants contributed $13.8 billion more to the Medicare Trust Fund than they collected in benefits. In the same year, native-born Americans took out $30.9 billion more than they paid in.

Beyond the financial arguments, let’s not forget that immigrants bring us new ideas. They invent more things than native-born Americans. Immigrants gave us Google, YouTube, blenders, ATMs, basketball, shopping malls, blue jeans, hot dogs and more.

Ann Coulter told me, “that was then, those were immigrants.”

European But now we admit “brown people” who are turning America into “a Third World hellhole.”

Coulter says that the new immigrants don’t assimilate the way Europeans did. Maybe that’s true, but I pointed out that immigrants from Nigeria, Jamaica and Ghana are more likely to be employed than native-born Americans and twice as likely to get a college degree. “I don’t believe it,” answered Coulter.

She also argues that America admits too many immigrants, but how many is too many? Thirteen percent of America’s population is now foreign born (down from 15 percent in 1915). Immigrants make up 27 percent of the population in Switzerland and Australia.

Of course, it would be good if all immigrants came here legally. But America makes that difficult.

The government awards 50,000 green cards by lottery, but in 2014, 11 million people applied, so the vast majority never get them.

Forbes says a computer programmer from India who wants to work in America legally must wait an average of 35 years. A Mexican teenager would have to wait 131 years.

No wonder people give up on the legal approach and sneak in.

Library hosting Child ID sessions The Newton Public Library is hosting a Child ID event with New York Life Insurance agent Danny Hoskins from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday in the library meeting room.

If you are the primary caretaker of a child, you know how difficult it can be to ensure his or her safety. In fact, according to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, a total of 800,000 children in America are reported missing each year —

that’s 2,000 every day. A Child ID is a simple step parents or guardians can take to use in such an emergency. Parents or guardians may bring children to the library to create a free Child ID using the EZ Child ID System.

In only three to five minutes a Child ID card is printed for each parent or guardian free of charge.

Child ID cards feature a child’s photo, fingerprints, contact information, and other pertinent data needed by the police in case of an

emergency. Please note that children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

No child’s information or pictures are electronically retained.

All data is automatically erased upon printing the Child ID and the only information New York Life keeps is a parent or guardian’s contact information, and only if permission has been granted for an agent to contact them with more information about New York Life.

Woman held in high esteem fears exposing imperfections DEAR ABBY: I met an amazing man and have been dating him for about three months. It was almost love at first sight. I say “almost” because I was hesitant to get involved since I am his boss.

My problem is, for six years I was in an emotionally and physically abusive relationship. My ex threw me through a wall, leaving me with broken ribs and lacerations on my face. I was constantly called “fat” — especially when I was pregnant.

Now that I’m with this new guy, I feel awkward. He tells me how pretty I am, and I don’t know how to respond.

It makes me uncomfortable when he says it, and I have no idea why. I have fallen so hard for him, but feel like I hurt his feelings when I don’t respond.

It’s not that I think I’m ugly or anything; I just feel like I am not as pretty as he constantly says I am.

How can I overcome this so it doesn’t become a problem in the future? I’m scared to death that one day he will wake up and realize that I’m not as perfect as he thinks I am. — NOT PERFECT IN ALABAMA DEAR NOT PERFECT: I don’t know whether your self-esteem problem is long-standing and deep-seated, or if it stems from the abusive relationship you had with your ex. But a way to conquer it would be to discuss your feelings with a licensed mental health professional.

On a related subject, it is common knowledge that workplace romances — while not uncommon — can turn into disasters if they don’t work out.

They sometimes fail because of the imbalance of power in the relationship if one person has economic control of the other. While you’re talking to your therapist, this is something that should also be discussed.

DEAR ABBY: Social media — specifically Facebook — has had an impact on families, their values and relationships. It is important to under-

stand that, contrary to popular belief, parents and grandparents DO NOT LIVE FOREVER. Being “too busy” for face-to-face visits, writing a postcard or a letter, or even a simple telephone call, is not how we were brought up.

To my children and grandchildren, whom I dearly love: I’m sure you’ll take the time to order flowers for my funeral. You may even take the day off to attend, and when you do, you will most likely shed some tears. So why can’t you find the time, while I’m still HERE, to visit or call? I’d love to see you, and I’m never too busy to make the time. — HURT IN PELLA, IOWA DEAR HURT: I’m printing your letter because I’m sure this is a problem shared by many aging parents and grandparents. However, this is a question you should direct to your children and grandchildren, not me. If you do, you may learn there may be multiple reasons why they don’t pay more attention to you — among them, the pressures of work, school, child care, or the fact that they are disorganized and don’t budget their time well.

There is also the question of whether you are an enjoyable person to be around. Do you show an interest in what they are doing, or make them feel guilty for not doing more to entertain you? That’s a surefire way to keep them away.

Man injured in tubing accident near Clinton

reopen after meth lab

CLINTON — Authorities say a 31-year-old man has been injured in a tubing accident on the Mississippi River near Clinton in eastern Iowa. The accident occurred around 1 p.m. Sunday. The Iowa Natural Resources Department says Kurt Parker, of Fulton, Illinois, and another person were on a tube being pulled by a boat when the rope broke while making a turn. The momentum carried the tube into the rocky shoreline. Parker was knocked unconscious when thrown onto the shore.

$1 million prize-winning ticket sold in eastern Iowa WASHBURN — Someone who bought a Powerball ticket in the eastern Iowa community of Washburn has won $1 million.

Iowa Lottery officials say the winning ticket in Saturday night’s drawing was purchased at the Pronto convenience store. The ticket matched the first five numbers but missed the Powerball number. The store will receive a $1,000 bonus from the lottery for selling the winning ticket.

DUBUQUE — The company proposing a transmission line to carry electricity between Iowa and Wisconsin is working to find the best route for it. ITC Midwest is trying to determine the best option among seven places to cross the Mississippi River and finalize a route for the rest of the 125-mile-long project. Dubuque leaders have already said they oppose a possible route through the city.

CEDAR RAPIDS — Health officials have cleared an eastern Iowa Taco Bell to reopen after the remnants of a methamphetamine lab were cleaned up.

The Linn County Health Department decided the restaurant was safe after two rounds of environmental testing, but the company hasn’t decided when it will reopen.

The restaurant has to restock food and supplies that were thrown out during the cleanup, and the company says it is retraining staff before reopening.

5 Town coping with loss of beef plant and its 400 jobs

2016 hopefuls hit the gym, try to skip pie on campaign trail The Associated Press DES MOINES — Scott Walker is counting steps on his FitBit. Jeb Bush swears by the Paleo diet. Bobby Jindal is a “gym rat.”

With long travel days and a fresh slab of cherry pie never far away, the campaign trail is notoriously unhealthy. But many 2016 presidential candidates are striving to make smart lifestyle choices as they tour the small town diners and pizza places of the early voting states.

“I try to do at least 10,000 steps a day,” said Walker, the Wisconsin governor.

He said he got the step-counting wristband for Christmas and competes with his family and staff to see who moves the most in a day. He added, “The FitBit’s got

me obsessed.”

Walker isn’t the only candidate trying to get exercise on the road.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio does an early morning workout in hotel gyms. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz also wears a FitBit and likes to take phone calls while walking. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum does at least 50 pushups a day and former executive Carly Fiorina works out on the elliptical most mornings, aides said.

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who had back surgery in 2011, said late last year that he has a workout routine that focuses on core strength.

Asked about his back, he said: “It’s good. I quit running and I quit wearing cowboy boots ... I do a lot of pull-ups, pushups, planks, crunches, and I ride a stationary

bike.”

Diet is important to many 2016 hopefuls, too. Bush has slimmed down using the Paleo diet, heavy on lean meats and vegetables and low on carbohydrates and dairy.

The former Florida governor has been known to toss the roll off his plate to stick to the rules. He cheats from time to time, though. In the spring he was caught on camera digging into blueberry pie in New Hampshire.

These efforts help with health and stamina. But the candidates also want to look good on camera and along the rope line in a selfie-ready world. President Barack Obama showed a disciplined approach to health and fitness during his campaigns, rising for pre-dawn workouts.

Day shows major mettle, wins PGA Championship SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — A year of major heartache ended with Jason Day breaking through in a major way Sunday at the PGA Championship.

With at least a share of the 54hole lead for the third straight major, Day never gave Jordan Spieth or anyone else much of a chance at Whistling Straits. He closed with a 5-under 67 for a three-shot victory and broke Tiger Woods’ major championship record for most strokes under par by finishing at 20 under.

In tears before tapping in for par, Day hugged his son and wife and then Spieth, who earned a small consolation prize with his

runner-up finish. Spieth moved to No. 1 in the world, ending the one-year reign of Rory McIlroy.

“I didn’t expect I was going to cry,” Day said. “A lot of emotion has come out because I’ve been so close so many times and fallen short. To be able to play the way I did today, especially with Jordan in my group, I could tell that he was the favorite. Just to be able to finish the way I did was amazing.”

What a journey for the 27year Australian.

He understood hard times as AP Photo a youth when his father died of Jason Day, of Australia, hits out of a bunker on the 12th hole during Sunday’s fourth round of the PGA | 2B

PGA Championship golf tournament at Whistling Straits in Haven, Wis. Day went on to win the final major tournament of the season.

Cardinal Football

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PORTLAND, Ore. — The Central Iowa softball little league team is one win away from the semifinals of the Little League Softball World Series.

Four future Collins-Maxwel l/Baxter Raiders helped the Central Iowa squad go 2-1 over the weekend and a third win Monday against a winless team from Canada and a little bit of help from the team that beat them Sunday will put the squad into the semifinals, which will air on ESPN2 starting at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Mikayla Houge, who is the daughter of CMB softball coach Troy Houge, began the tournament with a no-hitter and 10-strikeout performance against Asia-Pacific. Central won that game 12-0 in four innings on Friday and Houge also had an RBI single in the second, walked once and scored twice at the plate.

Houge’s future teammate, Abby Husak, also scored a run in the win.

Twins Emma and Ella Kahler are two other future Raiders on the team and sisters to current CMB pitcher Abbey Kahler.

Asia-Pacific committed six errors in the loss.

Central had seven hits in the win and scored three runs in the first, four in the second and five in the third.

The players from the Central Iowa squad are from the Huxley, Slater, Polk City, Collins and Maxwell areas. Carley Wilson was 3-for-3 with two runs and four RBIs to lead Central at the plate.

Central handed Southeast, a team out of North Carolina, its only loss of pool play on Saturday. Central took advantage of three Southeast errors and won 3-1.

Houge got her second win of the tournament in the circle. She allowed only two hits, struck out six and walked one in six innings and needed just 77 pitches to claim the win.

Houge also had an RBI single in the fifth.

Central won despite collecting only two hits at the plate.

Schatz wins ninth Knoxville Nationals title Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High Cardinal linemen work on footwork going through the ropes in a practice Friday morning. The Cardinals went to full pads Saturday. The 2015 football season begins Aug. 28 on the road at Knoxville for Newton.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Working on tackling techniqes are Newton High linebackers during Friday morning’s practice.

KNOXVILLE — Donny Schatz seems to own Knoxville Raceway, at least on the final nights of the FVP Knoxville Nationals. Schatz claimed his ninth Knoxville Nationals title with a wire-to-wire performance Saturday in the 55th running of the FVP Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s General Store.

The North Dakota native had the pole position in the finals and made the most of it at the start of the race. Schatz drove the Tony Stewart Racing No. 15 to victory staving off challenges by Kerry Madsen.

Schatz had to make strong moves through traffic in the closing laps.

“It’s not the traffic that was bothering me. It was the restarts. It’s my job to get through traffic. If I can’t then I’m probably going to lose my job,” Schatz said following his win.

“The past couple weeks, seem like people get a run on you and can slide you, so you just had to do something different.

One time I’d go to the bottom, one time I’d go to the top and keep mixing it up, but it’s hard to do that without mixing yourself up.”

With 10 laps remaining, a restart had Schatz’s lead to under a second with Madsen and Brad Sweet battling for second working up to traffic.

Schatz went to a center line drive through traffic to pull away for the win.

“The boss was here tonight. Can’t thank him (Tony Stewart) enough for all the support to allow us to be with Bad Boy Buggies, Chevrolet Performance, and all our marketing partners to do what we love to do,” Schatz said.

Madsen finished second followed by Sweet, Shane Stewart and Joey Saldana to round out the top five. Terry McCarl of Altoona was 24th.

Justin Henderson driving the BDS Motorsports No. 1, did not make it into the finals race, He ran seventh in the B feature Saturday night, and the top four drivers in the B advanced to the A feature. BDS Motorsports of Newton did win best appearing car for the third season running.

Kenseth wins at Michigan in dominant fashion

Continued from Page 1B West jumped out to a 3-0 lead Sunday, but Central rallied with single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth to tie it.

PGA

Continued from Page 1B cancer when Day was 12. For all his talent, he was questioned for winning only one tournament in five years on the PGA Tour. With a share of the lead at the U.S. Open and British Open, he had to watch someone else celebrate.

Not on this day. Not even close.

Day started the final round with a two-shot lead and no one got any closer than that the entire day. His lone shaky moment came at the end of the front nine, when he made his first bogey on No. 8 and then chunked a wedge from the fairway on No. 9. But he saved par with an 8-foot putt and was on his way.

And he knew it at the end.

With a three-shot lead on the par-5 16th, Day hit a high draw onto the green, bit his lower lip and swatted longtime coach and caddie Colin Swatton in the arm.

That two-putt birdie took him to 20 under, and two pars sealed the victory.

Woods finished at 19 under when he won the 2000 British Open at St. Andrews.

Spieth was chasing history again — Woods and Ben Hogan are the only two players to win three majors in the same season — but the Masters and U.S. Open champion had a tougher time chasing Day. The 22-year-old Texan

errors. Houge went 1-for-3 with a triple and an RBI at the plate.

Emma Kahler walked and scored on Houge’s RBI fielder’s choice in the fifth to pull Central within 3-2.

The West squad is the only undefeated team remaining in the tournament. Central and Southeast are both 2-1. Central plays Canada at 3 p.m.

Monday and a win paired with a West win over Southeast will lock up the No. 2 seed in Pool B. Canada is currently 0-3 and has been outscored 33-3 in the tourney.

Southeast can force a threeway tie with a win over West.

If that scenario plays out, then the tiebreaker goes to runs allowed in the tournament.

The top seed from Pool A plays the No. 2 seed from Pool B in Tuesday’s 6 p.m. semifinal. The other semifinal starts at 8:30 p.m. and both games can be seen on ESPN2.

The championship game also will air on ESPN2 at 8 p.m.

Wednesday.

missed a pair of birdie putts early on the back nine, and he struggled with his driver on the front nine. But he’s not sure it would have mattered. Day wasn’t going to let this chance get a way, and everyone knew it.

“It was Jason’s day,” he said. “He played like he’d won seven or eight majors.

He took it back. He wailed on it. It was a stripe show.”

Spieth set a record of his own. By closing with a 68, he set a record by playing the four majors in 54-under par, breaking by one the mark that Woods set in 2000. The difference is that Woods won two majors by a combined 23 shots.

That also speaks to the depth of golf in this generation, and Day is the latest example. He moved to No. 3 in the world, meaning the top four in the world are all under 27 and have combined to win five of the last six majors.

It starts with Spieth, the second-youngest player behind Woods to reach No. 1.

Spieth got there in his 77th start as a pro. Woods was 21 when he became No. 1 for the first time in just his 21st tournament.

“It’s an unbelievable feeling,” Spieth said. “So much work has been put in. What a year it’s been.”

Branden Grace of South Africa had another mistake on the back nine in a major that cost him. Grace was tied for the lead at the U.S. Open

when he hit his tee shot on the railroad tracks and outof-bounds at Chambers Bay. This time, he was two shots behind when he went long of the 10th green and made double bogey. He closed with a 69 and finished third, five shots behind.

Justin Rose got within two shots until making a double bogey for the third straight day. He closed with a 70 and finished fourth.

Day faced enormous pressure of having a lead for the first time going into the final round, trying to avoid becoming the first player since the PGA Championship went to stroke play in 1958 to have at least a share of the 54-hole lead in three straight majors without winning.

It sure didn’t show.

“There wasn’t a whole lot I could have done today,” Spieth said.

Day won for the third time this year on the PGA Tour — one behind Spieth — and sixth time in his career.

McIlroy made a solid return from an ankle injury that kept him out since the U.S. Open. He had a 68-69 weekend and finished 17th, though it wasn’t enough to stay No. 1 “Honestly, the way Jordan has been playing and the way I haven’t played much this year ... if he does go to No. 1 today, it’s very deservedly so,” McIlroy said. “I know the golf you have to play to get to that spot, and it has been impressive this year.”

BROOKLYN, Mich.

(AP) — Matt Kenseth raced to his third NASCAR Sprint Cup victory of the season, winning in convincing fashion Sunday at Michigan International Speedway.

Kenseth, the pole winner, won for the 34th time in his career, leading 146 of 200 laps in the 400-mile race. Joe Gibbs Racing has won five of the last six Cup races.

Kevin Harvick was second, 1.7 seconds behind, and Martin Truex Jr. was third.

Austin Dillon, who was sent to the back at the beginning of the race because of an engine change, managed a fourth-place showing, and Kyle Busch took another step toward wrapping up a spot in the Chase with an 11thplace run in his backup car.

Kenseth had a comfortable lead before a caution with less than 20 laps remaining tightened things up, but he had little trouble holding off Harvick after the restart.

NASCAR used a special high-drag aerodynamic package for this race and last month’s even at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It was supposed to improve passing, but aside from

one brief duel at the front between Kenseth and Dillon with about 55 laps left, there was little drama in terms of lead changes.

Kenseth led for the first 22 laps, and there were 16 lead changes after that.

Clint Bowyer’s Chase chances look more tenuous after he went into the wall Sunday and finished 41st. Busch came into the race in 30th place, needing to avoid major mistakes because a top-30 ranking is required for entry into the Chase. Busch wrecked his car in practice Saturday and had to start the race from the back, but he had a solid, uneventful day, even leading for a couple stretches.

Harvick remained atop the standings and now leads Joey Logano by 48 points. Logano finished seventh.

The rules package caused some concerns over the heat, and NASCAR mandated a dual outlet duct be used on the right-side window to help with ventilation and keep the cockpit from being too hot for the drivers. NBC Sports showed a reading of over 150 degrees in the cockpit of Casey Mears’ car — and that was still during the first quarter of the race.

Astrograph

The moon slips from diligent Virgo into Libra for an overall satisfying impact on work and relationships. It’s the common courtesies we observe that make social and work discourse go off without a hitch. The trouble comes when we forget that what’s common to one person and culture may be unfamiliar to another. Extend the benefit of the doubt.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The games people play will be deeply involving. Note that if the game does suit you, it won’t help to change the players. Try changing the rules instead.
