Last year’s event brought out 52 businesses to serve creatively adorned hot dogs along the Newton courthouse lawn as a thanks to the community.

Event allows business to say thanks with hot-dog-themed contest When the first “Thanks with Franks” event was held in Newton in 2005, no one knew for sure that the event would last this long.

However, the customer-appreciation event quickly took off, and the Young Professionals of Jasper County are once again preparing for dozens of county businesses to dress up hot dogs and people in the most unique of ways.

The event has typically been held on a Thursday, and this year’s event will be no exception. Beginning at 6 p.m. on Sept. 3, on the Jasper County Courthouse lawn, local businesses will set up themed booths and create their own special hot dogs to say thanks to the community

at a fun, family-friendly event.

The initial Thanks With Franks event featured 5,700 hot dogs being given away. By 2009, the number was more than 7,000. There were more than 10,000 hot dogs served at last year’s event.

YPJC President Danielle Rogers said there will be have more activities for the community.

“We’re excited,” Rogers said. “We’re including vehicles from the City of Newton Public Works, Newton Police Department and the Newton Fire Department, activities from community organizations such as the Newton Wellness Coalition and Iowa KidsNet and, of course, the popular hot-dog eating contest, featuring some local celebrities. We’re also going to have live music from Jolt with Jamie.”

Some past hot dog creations have been an Elvis Dog with peanut butter and bananas, a pizza dog, and a zombie-themed dog.

The event started in 2005 with about 12 to 15 participants. At the event last year, there were 52 county businesses and organizations represented.

The Young Professionals supply each participant with 200 hot dogs, 200 buns and booth space on the square; it’s up to each business to dress up the servings in creative ways. The deadline for entries is Saturday.

On the day of the event, set-up starts at 4:30 p.m.

Buns, hot dogs, trays, gloves, etc. will need to be picked up on Wednesday, Sept. 2 at Newton’s Hy-Vee store.

For most of her life, Kellogg resident Jeannie Boettcher has been involved with 4-H. On Sunday, she is being honored for her work as she is inducted into the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame at a ceremony at 1 p.m. in the 4-H building at the Iowa State Fair.

“Jeannie’s 4-H roots run deep; both of her parents were 4-H leaders, all four siblings as well as both of her children were 4-H members,” Jasper County 4-H Youth Coordinator Stacey Wilson said.

Wilson nominated Boettcher for the Hall of Fame.

“It is safe to say that Jeannie Boettcher has and continues to be an asset to the 4-H program and it was my honor to nominate her as a 4-H Hall of Fame inductee,” Wilson said.

At the age of 9, Boettcher joined the Atomic Starlets 4-H group in Crawford County. When her family moved a year later, she became a member of the Jolly Workers club out of Kellogg and participated in activities until she graduated high school.

When her children were old enough to join 4-H,

Boettcher became the assistant leader of the Amboy Champions, then the Jolly Workers, her former club growing up.

In 1994, Boettcher became a member of the fair board where she still serves, currently in her 21st year.

While serving on the board, she has held the position(s) of assistant superintendent and then superintendent of the 4-H building.

“Jeannie’s family were the very first people to camp at the Jasper County Fair,” Wilson said. “Now there is an actual campground that accommodates over 100 families.”

Boettcher will be honored among her peers as an inductee into the Hall of Fame.

Counties can nominate volunteers, community leaders and extension staff members who have exemplified outstanding service and dedication to the 4-H youth program in their county. Only one individual or couple per county can be nominated each year.

“I really feel that it is an honor. I feel like I don’t deserve it, but I am very happy and very honored that I was selected,” Boettcher said.

NCSD board candidate profile: Ann Leonard Newton Daily News EDITOR’S NOTE: Ann Leonard is one of the four Newton Community School District board of education candidates for the Sept. 8 election. Here are her replies to a Newton Daily News email questionnaire.

The Newton Daily News and the League of Women Voters are sponsoring a candidate forum, at 7 p.m., Aug. 27 in the Newton Council Chambers, located inside City Hall, 101 W. Fourth St. S. Josh Cantu’s profile was published Thursday. The Newton Daily News will pub-

Occupation: Commu n i c a t i on s Consultant at DuPont PioLeonard neer.

Family: Husband Eric and sons Ben, 7, a second-grader at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, and Caleb, 4, in preschool at the Newton YMCA. Years of residence within the NCSD boundaries: 15.

Educational background: Bachelor’s from Iowa State University in agricultural communications.

Three objectives I feel the NCSD board of education should have for the four years ahead: I support the four (board-stated) comprehensive goals already established for the 2015-16 school year. They all are vital to the success of the district and will take more than one year to accomplish.

My goal would be to focus on meeting — and exceeding — these goals, especially the one set to “develop

This stems back to the need to establish a stronger network of champions for our children who will set expectations of behavior at all ages in the school district.

My position on Newton K-8 reconfiguration, as of today: Based on what I know today, which includes the fact that we are not a growing school district, I am not in favor of reconfiguration.

The element of campus and student safety I feel needs to be addressed most urgently in central Iowa: Bullying is top of mind when it comes to the safety of our children.

Newton Christian School enrollment up to nearly 90 Campus to have 23 new students

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News How do you fit 90 students into a building that was packed near capacity with 75 the year before?

Very carefully, explains Mary Patterson.

The Newton Christian School dean of students has a record enrollment this year, and the almost 20 percent increase requires some creative classroom and desk usage. The surge also leads to advance planning and searching for a different kind of facility, even though the small enrollment has always been a big part of the school’s appeal.

“It’s a good thing,” Patterson said regarding the growth. “It’s manageable. We’re still able to tailor our education to the needs of our students.”

Patterson and her staff have not only had to rearrange a few classrooms in their school, which has kindergarten through the eighth grade, but have made some small staffing adjustments as well. Coming on board this year is Jillian Van Vuren, a North Carolina native who will teach

third and fourth grade.

Patterson said she also had to order a few new lunch tables for the cafeteria.

The nine-member board that guides the school’s decisions includes several well-known Jasper County residents who are active in several ways. Jeff Maki of Clemon-Maki Insurance, Ryan Zylstra of the Newton Police Department, Aaron Groves of the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, chiropractor Dr. Jay Koenen, Ken Landgrebe and Nathan Van Maanen of Van Maanen Electric are all on the board.

There is also a strategic committee that is looking at facilities and other long-term issues. The building the school is housed in on North 11th Avenue East is near its limits.

If the siblings of current Newton Christian students follow their brothers and sisters onto the campus in the years ahead — which is usually what each family chooses to keep siblings together — there will be an enrollment of about 100.

Of the 75 students who attended the school last year, five graduated from the eighth grade and five simply didn’t return.

There are 10 kindergartners and 13 new students spread across other grade levels, and all the parents of those new students will be asked to serve as volun-

teers in some capacity.

There is also a “buddy system” that pairs older students who have been at the school for a year or more with the new students on campus.

Patterson said the large enrollment is encouraging, as families often must locate funding sources or tighten their belts in order to utilize a private school.

“I’ve learned not to stress about it too much” if students transfer away from Newton Christian, Patterson said. “Our faith is strong, and our door is always open.”

Newton Christian seventh and eighth-grade students are allowed to participate in athletics and activities at Berg Middle School. Patterson points out that it’s easier to manage her school’s smaller groups on field trip than it would be to manage groups from a much larger school.

Class sizes are capped at 20 students for all grades, K-8.

That’s a challenge, but Patterson and her staff welcome a growing enrollment.

“We’re blessed, and we have a real diversity of Christians here,” she said. “We have 20 area churches represented this year.”

Franks Continued from Page 1A Rogers said moving back the start time an hour — to 6 p.m.

— will hopefully allow some parents and young people to make it to the courthouse area.

“We’re hoping this allows more businesses to participate, allows students to come down when their after-school activities are over as well as make it possible for those who work outside of town to make it to the event,” Rogers said.

Each booth will have its hot dogs judged by the public who sample the food. “The Big Wiener” award will go to the booth and company with the most popular hot dog/theme, as decided by a vote of community members, who will vote at a central location.

The winning entry will have its admission fee waived for the 2016 Thanks With Franks.

The entry-fee proceeds will go to the Red Pride organization, along with other select charities.

File photo Since 2005, the Young Professionals of Jasper County have organized “Thanks With Franks,” an event that is a thank-you to local customers from area businesses. This year’s event is set for 6 p.m. Sept. 3 downtown Newton.

The “You’re the Money Dog” award was given in the past to the booth that raises the most money for charity, but that award will not be handed out this year.

There is also a concessions booth, with its proceeds going to charity. Supplies, such as hot dog buns, are often donated to the event by businesses.

Rogers said the Young Professionals being able to host an event consistently is “an

Leonard Continued from Page 1A I understand there are some benefits, such as fewer building moves for students during their tenure in the school system, but I believe they don’t outweigh the consequences, which include losing the momentum that our teachers have established since the last reconfiguration, and, in some cases, the value teachers have told me they have found in larger groups per grade level.

I would like the board to consider options (e.g., magnet school) that would make Newton unique and serve as an enticement for people to move to Newton, open enroll, or, frankly, stay in

amazing feat.”

“The fact that YPJC has been dedicated to hosting this event every year speaks volumes about the young professionals, and how much we love this community,” Rogers said. “We continue to have large crowds of people show up — year after — and it shows how proud, engaged and active the community is and how we (residents, organizations and businesses) all support each other and

Newton.

These tools should be utilized in Newton to get parents more involved in the educational process: I recommend increased networking. School board members are all involved in the community in various ways, and we need to leverage those interactions to encourage more participation.

It could be as simple as a personal invitation to attend a school board meeting, or establish a team of community members to deliberately and openly collect feedback, or by board members attending parent-based meetings hosted by groups such as the PTA. It’s vital that this outreach be extended to the

Newton.”

The Young Professionals have other events planned in the coming months. A social hour, bus tour and its annual courthouse-lighting chili cookoff are all on the horizon.

Rogers said it makes a positive statement about Newton to be able to hold the same types of community events each year.

“It takes a truly active and engaged com-

teachers, too. Aligning and strengthening these relationships within the community will only increase the success rate of the Newton Community School District.

Newton offering preschool without a basic monthly or annual charge to parents should be studied carefully before the current arrangement is changed: This is a topic that requires more thorough review before a decision can be made.

In addition to reviewing the financial aspect, I believe we should connect with those already offering preschool in the area, and identify opportunities where we can partner to meet the needs of our youngest students.

munity to support local businesses, and Thanks with Franks reinforces the relationships between our business community and residents,” Rogers said.

“We always have a large number of businesses involved — whether it’s giving away hot dogs, donating to the event, helping with concession sales or hosting an activity. That unified front by business owners shows how much the business community appreciates the residents of Newton.”

The Young Professionals have other events planned in the coming months. A social hour, bus tour and its annual courthouse-lighting chili cookoff are all on the horizon.

The Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame was established in 2002 as 4-H celebrated 100 years of a program dedicated to teaching youth life skills according to the Iowa 4-H Foundation. During those 100 years, it became evident that one of the essential elements of the 4-H program was the caring adults who were committed to the program.

Inductees into the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame, the foundation said, represent the many people in Iowa who have contributed countless hours to the 4-H program.

Those leaders work tirelessly to see that Iowa’s youth have a great learning experience in a safe and fun environment. These adults have modeled volunteerism, community service, integrity and leadership to Iowa’s youth.

Their legacy is the young people they have mentored who will in turn support the continuation of a 4-H program that builds Iowa’s leaders.

Slow down for a minute

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Aug. 21, 2015

​A few weeks ago, I ran into an old friend at the grocery store. We smiled, hugged and immediately began making up for lost time. When I asked her how she was doing, she sighed and said, “I’ve been so busy.”

She seemed focused, yet tired and slightly overwhelmed by responsibilities, and I got a list of what she was doing instead of finding out how she was doing or feeling.

We only had a few minutes of time to catch up, of course, before moving on to our next errand. I wished her an enjoyable summer-end, but I have a feeling she didn’t make room in her schedule to breathe before fall activities begin.

Her busy lifestyle wasn’t an isolated incident either. I noticed other friends all over the state burdened by their own self-doing. Are our plates too full? Each day seems to

be some sort of sport of productivity at precisely filling up your schedule from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. It’s like a competition — who can do the most with their time.

It’s a great business philosophy, on paper, but we’ve begun to apply it to our personal lives outside of the office. We’ve also applied it to our children or grandchildren lives. Occupying our time is not only a social norm for adults but for children now as well.

I know a young girl in middle school who participates in more activities than I do.

She was constantly involved in extracurriculars (band, Girl Scouts, gymnastics, choir) that her only free time was every other Wednesday evening and Sundays.

What happened to playing outside until dark or even just

being alone? I don’t think she could comprehend boredom.

Don’t get me wrong, efficiency is great. It’s productive, rewarding and shows we’re an evolving, intelligent species. It also feels good to get a lot of tasks done in a day and at least we’re not lazy. However, like driving a car, it’s hard to slow down when you’re driving 70 miles per hour.

A “work hard, play hard” lifestyle doesn’t encourage rest either, only regular over stimulation. We’re busy, and we’re begging for it.

I found myself checking work emails in Milwaukee because every little application on my phone is vying for attention. The work email, like the Internet, is disturbingly convenient. It literally disturbs other environments or conversations. Even when I do get an hour or two of free time, elec-

tronics are distracting, and I find myself right back where I started — connected, attached and too accessible, too busy.

So when my friend Tessa invited me to join she and her family on their annual outing to Colorado last week, I agreed without any hesitation.

I also decided it was the most prime opportunity to unplug and unwind. I would leave my phone and responsibilities at home and retreat from the busy, predetermined routine.

I left my phone on the table and didn’t look back. There I was in the back seat with my friend, and her parents in the front, headed west with nothing else to do but relax and converse and nowhere else to look but out the window or, for once, in.

The Uprising

Powerful message from an imperfect messenger

Another View

Ethanol: A love story It’s a timeless story of teenage romance: pledging love, abandoning reason, rebelling against authority.

No, this isn’t the plot of a John Hughes movie. Instead, I’m talking about Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack’s love affair with ethanol.

While Vilsack Alexander is tasked with representing the interests of all of taxpayers, at times he seems to have never left Iowa — where ethanol is a big business and where the secretary served two terms as governor. He regularly attends ethanol trade conferences, and he’s among the industry’s most vocal supporters.

Under Vilsack’s guidance, the Department of Agriculture co-opted the Renewable Energy for America Program to support ethanol blender pumps in 2011.

Otherwise known as REAP, the government created this program to help small businesses in rural areas install renewable energy systems or improve their energy efficiency. As even ethanol producers will acknowledge, blender pumps do neither.

They’re simply a method to increase ethanol’s share of the gas-

oline market.

Currently, almost all U.S. gasoline is 10 percent ethanol, or E10. The industry obviously wants drivers to consume more ethanol, so it pushes higher blends, like E15, E30, or E85.

But normal gas pumps can’t handle corrosive high-ethanol gas, or offer multiple blends.

So ethanol needs a mechanism to mix it with regular gasoline. That’s where blender pumps come in.

REAP’s purpose was clear, but Vilsack’s department saw an opening in the law’s failure to narrowly define “renewable energy systems.” In a 2011 rule it issued for the program, the department declared that “flexible fuel pumps” qualified. It was a shameless attempt to use tax dollars to help the ethanol industry distribute its product.

Like parents catching a teenage boy sneaking in through their window, Congress immediately objected. The House overwhelmingly passed amendments offered by then-Rep. Jeff Flake — the Arizona Republican is a senator now — barring the department from spending money on the blender pumps.

Then, in the 2014 Farm Bill, Congress specifically excluded blender pumps from the definition of renewable energy systems. Lawmakers stated the ob-

vious: REAP was never meant to pay for installing pumps at gas stations.

Yet being forbidden only strengthened Vilsack’s ardor for blender pumps. Within weeks of Congress passing the Farm Bill, Vilsack went on the record reassuring the ethanol industry that their love affair would endure: “This is an invitation to you to come to me, and I will help you… Make no mistake about that.”

True to Vilsack’s word, the Department of Agriculture recently announced the creation of the Biofuels Infrastructure Project, which just finished accepting applications for as much as $100 million for blender pumps.

The romance lives on, but it isn’t a happy ending for taxpayers. For more than 30 years the government has subsidized ethanol, which currently enjoys numerous tax breaks, support from Department of Energy and Transportation programs, and a renewable fuels standard that mandates its use.

So $100 million to help ethanol producers pad their bottom line is icing on the cake. The Vilsack blender pump affair is fleecing taxpayers. It has to stop.

Ryan Alexander is president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan federal budget watchdog.

Earlier this month, billionaire Charles Koch had a surprising message: In a speech to his fellow conservatives, he said politicians must end taxpayer-funded subsidies and By David Sirota preferential treatment for corporations.

Why is this surprising? Because the demand came from an industrialist whose company and corporate subsidiaries have raked in tens of millions of dollars’ worth of such subsidies.

The Koch-organized conference at a luxury resort in Southern California reportedly attracted roughly 450 conservative donors who have committed to spending nearly $900 million on the 2016 presidential election. The event included appearances by Republican presidential candidates such as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

“Where I believe we need to start in reforming welfare is eliminating welfare for the wealthy,” said Koch, who, along with his brother David, is among the biggest financiers of conservative political causes. “This means stopping the subsidies, mandates and preferences for business that enrich the haves at the expense of the have nots.”

Yet, in the last 15 years, Koch’s firm Koch Industries and its subsidiaries have secured government subsidies worth more than $166 million, according to data compiled by the watchdog group Good Jobs First.

The group says since 1990, Koch-owned properties have received 191 separate subsidies worth a total of $195 million.

Koch Industries and

its subsidiaries, which are a privately held, are involved in everything from oil refining to manufacturing to high finance. In 2012, Charles Koch issued a similar jeremiad against government-sponsored subsidies for corporations.

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, he said, “We are on dangerous terrain when government picks winners and losers in the economy by subsidizing favored products and industries.” In his essay, he specifically derided tax credits — yet even after the op-ed, Koch-owned properties accepted more than $77 million worth of such taxpayer-funded preferences from governments, according to Good Jobs First.

Among the biggest subsidies received by Koch-owned companies was a $62 million Louisiana property tax abatement for Georgia Pacific — a paper and chemical conglomerate that was acquired by Koch Industries in 2005. Georgia Pacific also received a separate $11 million tax credit from Louisiana in 2014 to upgrade its facilities.

Since 2007, Good Jobs First says Koch Industries itself has received more than $20 million in subsidies through an Oklahoma program designed to incentivize investment and job creation. Oklahoma’s government website lists more than $28 million in such tax credits to the firm and its subsidiaries.

Koch, it should be noted, is not like other top executives of major corporations. His company is not publicly traded — it is privately held, with most of the company owned by him and his brother, David. That means the Kochs could reject subsidies and not have to justify the move to hordes of shareholders. Instead, though, they have accepted the government support, even as they fund conservative campaigns that deride the influence of government on the economy.

H. Clifton Zickel, the son of Harry P. and Anna (Ver Steeg) Zickel, was born Jan. 3, 1922, near Galesburg, and attended Galesburg schools. A lifelong resident of the Jasper County area, he had farmed most of his life.

On June 23, 1946, Clifton was united in marriage with Irene Rose Hotger in the Little Brown Church in Nashua. He was also employed by the Maytag Company and lat-

er drove a maintainer for Jasper County. He devoted his life to his wife Irene, his family and friends, and was a member of the Jasper County Farm Bureau, Zoar Church, where he served on its board and cemetery association for many years. He was involved with Angus cattle and retained a membership to the American Angus Association, was a life member of the Elks Lodge #1270 in Newton, and continued his involvement in many agricultural organizations.

Those left to honor Clifton’s memory include his many nephews and nieces, Ron and

Judy Hotger, Bill and Linda Hotger, Richard and Ellen Powell, Tom and Debbie Powell, Dale and Ruth Miller, Leroy Damman, Kathy and Larry Milburn, Becky and Reed Powell-Renneckar, RoseAnn and Jack Byers, Tanya Danforth, Connie Keig, Sandy and Gary McDonald, Norma Jean Brandt and Ruth and Raymond Frohwein; and his many friends.

Survivors include her three children, Jon (Marsha) Otto of Cedar Rapids, Chris Otto of Cedar Rapids and Jennifer (Adam Prestbroten) Otto of Middleton, Wis.; four grandchildren, Jared, Rylee, Tristan and Jonah. She was preceded in death by her parents, Morris and Avis Kreager; and brother, David Kreager.

Linda was born Dec. 19, 1947, in Kansas City, Mo., and was adopted by Morris and Avis (Polhamus) Kreager of Newton. She was confirmed at Zoar

Church in Newton, in 1962, and loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For several years, Linda worked in the nursing field, before becoming a director of nursing. She eventually went on to teach college courses in nursing. Linda was an avid Hawkeye fan and attended many games at Kinnick Stadium. In her spare time, she enjoyed reading and learning new things. Linda had a big heart when it came to animals, and, especially, her pets. She also had a great eye for antiques, and could spend hours shopping around flea markets with her

daughter. Her greatest passion in life was children. Linda loved being a mother and grandmother. Her graceful soul and gentle heart is what made her excellent at motherhood.

More than anything, she loved being with her family.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the family, Cedar Valley Humane Society or Trinity United Methodist Church in Cedar Rapids, in Linda’s memory.

Man suffers a sense of loss after returning dog he found DEAR ABBY: A man I work with found a dog on his way to the office.

He picked it up, took it home and was immediately talking about what a good playmate the dog would make. He said he tried to call the local animal shelter, but was put on hold twice, so he gave up.

I felt he should have made more of an attempt to find the owner before claiming it as his own. I immediately posted a free “found dog” ad online and, three weeks later, received a message.

It turned out the dog belonged to a 72-year-old woman who lives alone.

She discovered her back door open one day and her dog missing. I put my co-worker in touch with the lady and said I’d leave it to him to do what he felt was best. After confirming the dog was indeed hers, he reluctantly returned it to her.

He is now telling everyone he’s very sad at his loss and that it was “almost as hard as having a dog put to sleep.”

He’s receiving major sympathy from some of our co-workers who seem to be upset with me for posting the found dog ad. Am I wrong to think this small effort should have been expected in this situation, and what I did was the right thing? — DID THE RIGHT THING IN TEXAS DEAR DID: I don’t think you did anything wrong, and I’m 100 percent positive that the dog’s owner would agree with me. She was probably worried sick, wondering if her beloved companion was lying injured or dead in a ditch somewhere.

While I appreciate your co-worker feeling a sense of loss at having to return the dog, he should be comforted in the knowledge that it’s in a home where it is loved and cared for. And that is NOT comparable to having to have one euthanized. However, because he is grieving, suggest he ask the owner for visitation. Out of gratitude, she may agree.

DEAR ABBY: I have been with

my partner, “Pat,” for 10 years. For personal reasons, we have chosen not to get married. I call him my partner because, for the majority of our 10 years together, we have lived together. We share multiple financial commitments, and he is truly my partner in life.

My problem is, when I refer to Pat as my partner, people immediately ask me if I’m gay. I’m less worried about people thinking I might be a lesbian, but more that people might think Pat is a woman. Even his family members have remarked when I refer to him as my partner.

I know our friends and family respect our choice to not be married, but I’m not sure what to call him other than my partner. I feel that “boyfriend” is too casual for our level of commitment. I don’t have a problem calling Pat my partner. I do have a problem with all the unnecessary confusion that follows.

What should I call the man I am committed to and who is equally committed to me, when we have chosen to take the “no ring” route together? — NOT SINGLE IN ST. LOUIS DEAR NOT SINGLE: You could use “better half,” but I think the word “partner” describes your relationship very well. If someone asks if you are gay or if Pat is a woman, don’t be defensive — just say no. Giving more information to someone who isn’t close enough to you to already be aware of your situation is oversharing.

Iowa bank employee conspired to stage robbery SIOUX CITY — An employee at a bank in northwest Iowa has been accused of conspiring with an acquaintance to stage a robbery at the bank. The Sioux City Journal reports 18-year-old Heaven Zevenbergen is charged with second-degree theft in connection with the robbery Saturday at a Security National Bank branch at a Hy-Vee supermarket. Court documents say Zevenbergen knew 18-year-old Angelica Perez, who is accused of entering the bank in a disguise and warning Zevenbergen via a note that she was armed.

KNOXVILLE — A national group that wants to maintain the U.S. Constitution’s separation of church and state wants a veterans memorial removed from an Knoxville park because a cross is part of the monument.

Ian Smith is an attorney for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and he says the monument is an establishment of religion prohibited by the First Amendment, specifically because the cross is the “pre-eminent symbol of Christianity.”

OSAGE — A 23-year-old Riceville woman convicted in a child sex abuse case has been given three years of probation.

Mason City television station KIMT reports that Mindy Jo Fetters also was given a suspended prison sentence of up to five years and fined $750. She’d pleaded guilty in Mitchell County District Court to child endangerment resulting in injury.

Prosecutors had lowered the charge and dismissed two others in exchange for Fetters’ plea.

House Republicans elect Upmeyer as first woman speaker DES MOINES — Iowa House Republicans selected Majority Leader Linda Upmeyer on Thursday to s e r v e as their n e x t speaker, Upmeyer the first woman who will hold that top leadership role.

Upmeyer, who is from Clear Lake in northern Iowa, has served in the House since 2003

and was made majority leader in 2010. She said she hopes to live up to the example set by her late father, who served as House speaker in the 1980s.

“I’ve never felt like there was a glass ceiling I needed to break,” said Upmeyer. But she added: “It’s my hope and I know it’s true that there’s a young lady out there somewhere that’s going to say, ‘I can do this too.’”

Upmeyer, 63, who beat one other candidate for the position, said she looks forward to leading and promises to be fiscally prudent. She will

looked forward to working with her.

House Democratic leader Mark Smith, of Marshalltown, criticized Upmeyer’s record on education, saying in a statement that House Republicans made funding decisions that will leave “kids in crowded classrooms with outdated textbooks and old technology this fall.”

Lawmakers did not approve funding for the 2016-2017 school year in the spring session, as required by law, and Democrats sought more funding for the upcoming year than Republicans.

IOWA CITY — The big health insurance companies picked to manage Iowa’s $4.2 billion Medicaid program have promised to create hundreds of jobs in the state in the coming months, according to bidding documents released Thursday.

UnitedHealthcare projected that it would increase its existing 400-employee staff in Iowa by about 250 people. WellCare pledged it would open several offices, from Council Bluffs to Davenport.

Amerigroup has already located space for a West Des Moines headquarters. And AmeriHealth Caritas said it would open three “state-of-the-art community wellness centers,” potentially in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Sioux City.

Details on those staffing plans were included in thousands of pages of documents released by the Iowa Department of Human Services, which announced the selection of the companies to manage the Medicaid program Monday following a competition involving 11 bidders.

“The priorities of the caucus haven’t changed,” Upmeyer said. “So making sure that we’re living within our means and making sure we carry forward the agenda we set from last year.”

The Pressbox Woods opens Wyndham Championship Carpe diem, with his best round of golf in two years Seize the day GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Tiger Woods kept saying his game was getting better, even though his results didn’t show it.

On his first day at the Wyndham Championship, his score finally did.

Woods had his best round in more than two years Thursday, shooting a 6-under 64.

Two-time heart transplant recipient Erik Compton, William McGirt and Tom Hoge shared the first-round lead at 62.

Morgan Hoffman, Jim Herman and Derek Ernst followed at 63, and Martin Kaymer, Davis Love III and Carl Pettersson joined Woods at 64.

It was Woods’ lowest score on the PGA Tour since a 61 in the second round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in 2013.

He and the others took advantage of a low-scoring day at what he called a “tricky” Donald Ross-designed course at Sedgefield Country Club that gave up bunches of birdies after morning showers softened the fairways and greens.

“When it’s like this,” Woods said, “you’ve got to throw darts and go low.”

And while Compton and McGirt threatened the tournament record, the clear story of the day was Woods.

That low score couldn’t have come at a better time for the biggest name in the sport.

He set the tone by holing

AP Photo Tiger Woods hits his tee shot on the 13th hole during Thursday’s first round of the Wyndham Championship golf tournament in Greensboro, N.C.,

a 54-foot chip shot on his first hole, the par-4 10th, for the first of his seven birdies.

“Finally,” he said, “I got something out of my round.”

Woods arrived insisting he was playing better than his recent results might indicate.

He had missed the cut in three straight majors and had not finished better than a tie for 17th at the Masters. He’s at No. 187 on the FedEx Cup points list and probably needs a win to move into the top 125 and earn a playoff spot.

Yet he said after last week’s early exit from the PGA Championship that those results belied the improvement he was making in his game.

“I know it’s crazy to say, but I wasn’t playing that poorly at PGA,” Woods said.

“Any borderline shot (at Whistling Straits) I never got away with it, and that’s the way it goes. I felt like I was hitting the ball good enough and just kept progressing, and today was just a continuation of it.”

Especially on that first hole.

His shot from the left side of the green landed about 8 feet from the cup and rolled in.

“I went for the shot, and instead of playing something more conservative, the greens were hard and fast, and I wanted to play something long,” Woods said. “I got aggressive with it, and I went for it, and I pulled it off. ... I could see it going in.”

Hoge, playing in the day’s final grouping, made a late charge up the leaderboard, closing his round with a 5-foot birdie putt on the 18th.

Iowa hoping to shake ‘Ferentz fatigue’ Roush Fenway seeking answers IOWA CITY (AP) — Most Iowa fans used to hope that Kirk Ferentz would be their coach until he retired.

Many of them are now worried that such a scenario might actually come to fruition.

The buzz that typically surrounds the Hawkeyes has been largely replaced with a bit of “Ferentz fatigue.” The former national coach of the year, now in his 17th season, has gone just 34-30 over the past five seasons.

Ferentz has five years and more than $20 million left on his contract, with a prohibitive buyout of about $13 million. That situation and a steep decline in season ticket sales have been the main topics of conversation about Iowa in the offseason.

Still, there are a lot of programs that are a lot worse off than Iowa.

Junior quarterback C.J. Beathard could be a breakout star. The secondary has a chance to blossom and junior LeShun Daniels Jr. could be the punishing running back Iowa has been looking for.

The schedule seems easy, too — though it also appeared to be that way last August and Iowa still limped to a 7-6 finish.

“We didn’t have to call ‘Dr. Phil’ in or anything like that for our football team. We’re just trying to work a little bit harder, work smarter, and get better at the things that really determine successful outcomes,” Ferentz said.

Here are some of the key things to consider about Iowa heading into 2015: Sunshine: Beathard is Iowa’s best dual-threat quarterback in years. But the Hawkeyes have to be careful since he is Iowa’s only signal caller with any college experience. Beathard, nicknamed “Sunshine” by his teammates because of his resemblance to the fictional quarterback from “Remember the Titans,” was

in another challenging season

Troy Hyde/Daily News One of the strengths of the Iowa defense will be the secondary, led by one of the best cornerbacks in the country in junior Desmond King.

52-of-92 passing last season for 645 yards and five touchdowns. Beathard’s backup is redshirt freshman Tyler Wiegers, followed by a pair of true freshmen.

Jacked Daniels: After three years of having a converted fullback start at running back, the Hawkeyes will have a more traditional look this fall. Daniels will likely take over for Mark Weisman as Iowa’s lead back, with senior Jordan Canzeri also in the mix to change things up.

Daniels battled injuries last season, but the Hawkeyes are bullish on his future.

At 6-foot and about 225 pounds, Daniels resembles 2008 Doak Walker Award winner and longtime NFL back Shonn Greene. If Daniels can play like Greene, Iowa might end up contending in the Big Ten West.

Secondary: Iowa’s strongest unit just might be its secondary. Junior Desmond King has developed into the kind of cornerback opposing defenses stay away from, and fellow corner Greg Mabin emerged despite some shaky moments. Safety Jordan Lomax was honorable-mention All-Big Ten in 2014, and fellow safety Miles Taylor has the makings of a three-year starter.

Line ‘Em Up: Iowa has been known for producing standout linebackers. But last season the Hawkeyes were often shredded up the middle of their defense. Iowa’s linebackers were inexperienced in 2014, often missing their angles and reacting slowly because they were thinking instead of playing. The Hawkeyes expect much better play from this unit in 2015.

Cyclone football team eager to bounce back after second straight subpar year AMES (AP) — Iowa State has spent millions in recent years to bring its football facilities up to par with the rest of the Big 12.

The next step for the Cyclones is to start winning. If Paul Rhoads can’t make that happen this year, his seventh season in Ames might be his last.

Iowa State has paired the $20 million football-only complex it dedicated in 2012 with a $60 million overhaul of one of its end zones. The renovations, which should be done by the end of August, includes two-story club space and about 5,000 new seats — making Jack Trice Stadium (61,000) the third-largest in the Big 12.

All of Iowa State’s bells and whistles haven’t translated onto the field.

The Cyclones are just 5-19 over their past two seasons, and in 2014 they went 0-9 in the Big 12. Iowa State has been picked to finish ninth in the league this year. If that happens, it’ll likely mean a third straight season without a bowl bid.

“Every step of the way, I’ve seen tangible improvement,” Rhoads said. “It’s a team that has closeness and great team chemistry.”

Here are some of the key story lines for the Cyclones heading into 2015: Throw It Up: Iowa State has the pieces in place for a strong passing attack. Senior Sam Richardson is entering his third season as the starter, and last year he was 25th nationally in total offense. Wide receiver D’Vario Montgomery caught 41 passes in the last seven games of 2014, and sophomore Allen Lazard lived up to the hype surrounding

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa State senior quarterback Sam Richardson will be the starter under center for the third straight year as the Cyclones try to rebound from a 2-10 season in 2014.

his arrival with 45 receptions.

Quenton Bundrage, who caught nine touchdown passes in 2013, also is back after a knee injury cost his almost all of last season.

“It just made me look at life differently. Anything can be taken from you at any moment,” Bundrage said.

Running On Empty: The Cyclones might have to throw the ball a lot because they’re about as inexperienced at running back as any team in the country. Sophomore Tyler Brown’s 109 career yards are the most of any back on the roster. Redshirt freshman Mike Warren is expected to have a chance to be the starter, and true freshman Joshua Thomas also will be in the mix.

“It’s thin. They’re inexperienced. But they’re capable.

They’re talented,” Rhoads said.

Lined Up: Iowa State’s perpetual struggles can often be traced to an inability to recruit top defensive lineman to Ames. But the Cyclones think they’ve found a good one in transfer nose guard Demond Tucker. He won national defensive player of the year honors at the junior college level in 2013 and quickly assumed a starting role upon arriving in Ames. Tucker will anchor a line that has a lot of depth but just as many question marks.

Secondary: The strength of Iowa State’s defense is its secondary, which is a key in the pass-happy Big 12. The Cyclones return three starters, including promising sophomore safety Kamari Cotton-Moya.

But Iowa State will need to do a much better job after allowing nearly 283 yards passing per game in 2014, worst in the conference.

DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Jack Roush believes that two years of frustration and failure for his Sprint Cup program are about to end, even though the results this season paint a different picture.

The cars of Roush Fenway Racing haven’t won since Carl Edwards took the checkered flag at Sonoma, California, in June 2014 — an uncomfortable 43-race drought that doesn’t sit well in the RFR garage heading to Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend.

Greg Biffle, the most accomplished of Roush Fenway’s three drivers with 19 Sprint Cup victories, has not won in 80 races, since June 2013 at Michigan. He’s had three top-10 finishes this season, Biffle’s younger teammates, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Trevor Bayne, have struggled even more on NASCAR’s biggest stage.

“That’s for sure,” Stenhouse said.

Stenhouse’s fourth-place finish at Bristol in April is his only top-10 this season.

Bayne, the one-time winner of the Daytona 500, has two ninths as his best finishes in the iconic No. 6 program that Roush and driver Mark Martin led to 35 wins.

“We have been in Cup racing now for 28 years,” Roush said, “and had times when we had the hot hand and the combination that everyone else wished they understood or could have and there have been times when we lacked that. We are on a cycle now that is on its way back up.”

That sounds hard to believe given the performance of the Roush Fenway cars In this winless season, the team’s first since 1996. It will be harder to swallow should Biffle, Stenhouse and

Bayne miss the playoffs — a distinct possibility without a victory or major shuffling over the final three regular-season races.

Biffle is 18th in points with Bayne 27th and Stenhouse 28th.

Stenhouse said Tuesday that the strongest asset RFR has these days is a tenacious attitude that things will turn around, perhaps even as quickly as Saturday night at Bristol. Stenhouse said his past successes at Bristol — he’s had three top 10s in five career Sprint Cup races there — give the team hope of stealing a win to make the championship Chase.

“We know if we don’t get it done there, it’s going to be tough,” Stenhouse said. “But the great thing we have at Roush Fenway Racing is a lot of good people working hard.”

Biffle said he thought Michigan, where he leads all active drivers with four victories, was a strong chance to break his drought and reach the Chase for the seventh time in eight years. Instead, he wound up 23rd.

“We feel the pressure, trust me,” Biffle said.

It can’t help the cause when former Roush Fenway racers like Edwards and former Sprint Cup champions Matt Kenseth and Kurt Busch are having success with other programs.

Roush is focused on the drivers he has, not those who’ve moved on.

Biffle appeared to have things trending forward in May with a win at the Sprint Showdown before the All-Star Race, then a second-place finish in the Coca-Cola 600 a week later. But he has had just one showing better than 12th in the 10 races since, a fifth at Pocono three weeks ago.

Astrograph

The square of the sun and Saturn will be the last of its kind to bother us for months.

True to the nature of the Leo sun, a big finish is in order. In this case, the “finish” has to do with a personal lesson. What’s the ritual, gesture or occurrence that will disappear your issue in a puff of smoke? Make it happen.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 21). You’ll invent and reinvent this year. One of your past creations will be used in a new way, and you’ll make more money this time around.

October business ventures introduce greater opportunities for romance and excitement. In

November, you’ll realize what a good job you did in choosing your inner circle. Pisces and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 44, 24, 32 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Beyond good and evil, there is love. The decisions made from love can seem complicated -- not as cut and dried as the moral code written in books.

The heart deciphers its own moral code.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You will follow your intellect to whatever conclusion it leads you instead of accepting the answer you are being fed

by another. This is the way of great thinkers and truth seekers.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You know what you like, even before the logical arguments have been made. You’re working from the gut today and will get more information in the blink of an eye than you would in a lengthy dissertation.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

No relationship is entirely wine and roses, but you’ll experience more than your fair share of movie-worthy moments in the coming weeks -- so many that you may even dare to plan some work and/or travel with a loved one now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Shakespeare penned, “We have some

salt of our youth in us.” It’s that salt that has you reacting to someone as though you were much younger than you are. Or maybe you’re just meeting that person at his or her level.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

There have been times when it’s been difficult to meld the new with the known people in your life, but right now new friends will fit nicely into the puzzle of your personal life and will connect you to exciting options for love and work.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The gatekeepers are just doing their job. If they could let everyone in, what would be the point of having a gate? Anyway, you’re in the perfect place and will get inside at the ideal time when

Please recycle your old newspapers. you are completely ready.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Keep going on your project, even if you can only spend 10 minutes on it here and there.

Ten minutes here and there will add up to significant progress.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The general cries, “Forward!” and that’s the direction the army marches. If it’s not happening that way when you cry “forward,” maybe you’re not the general of this army.

Find your army.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You could totally win the argument with that aggressive person you know, and yet winning would bring no satisfaction or purpose. Therefore,

avoid. Your energy is best spent elsewhere.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Whatever you’re in the market for, true shopping wisdom comes after you’ve left the sales floor for a while. It’s hard to listen to your inside voice when someone else’s outside voice is booming in your ear.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Of course you can’t stop yourself from thinking a thought by focusing on not thinking it.

Distraction, new focus, a different environment -- all of it will work to stop your worries today.
