Council launches search for new city administrator

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton City Council continued work on the search for a new city administrator on Monday. The council discussed how to score information in the request for proposal scheduled to be sent out to potential consultants on Thursday.

City administrator Bob Knabel Knabel gave his notice of retirement to the city in recent weeks with Oct. 3 planned as his last day. Knabel has served in the position since March 2012.

Councilman Craig Trotter led the conversation by pointing out he would prefer to score all six items on the RFP instead of four, as it is currently set up. The six items include describing the company, providing a client reference list, procedures and timelines of the search, identification of services, replacement services if the candidate would step down and fee structures.

City moves forward with airport master plan

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Following the approval of a Federal Aviation Administration grant, the city is moving forward with a new airport master plan at the Newton Municipal Airport.

Updating the plan will keep the airport current with FAA standards.

“The master plan for the Newton Municipal Airport needs to be updated to account for changes the FAA has made regarding operational and safety standards of airports,” city administrator Bob Knabel said. “Also, an updated plan would incorporate changes at the airport including changes in the airport use since 2000.”

The airport master plan was last updated in 2000 with the airport layout map updated in 2006-07.

At a previous meeting, council approved Clapsaddle-Garder Associates, Inc. of Marshalltown to perform the master plan update. The total cost of the project is $229,275.

The city applied for a grant from the FFA to pay for 90 percent of the eligible project costs totaling $206,348. The city would then contribute $22,927 to complete the project. Those funds would be provided by the 2015 bond proceeds.

Progress Industries CEO among those in attendance

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Powerful testimony and more statistics were some of the present aspects of Monday morning’s listening post portion of the Iowa Legislature’s Joint Senate Co-Chair of the Health Policy Oversight Committee at the Iowa Capitol.

The listening post, along with a more formal Oversight Committee meeting held Monday afternoon, were part of an ongoing Democrat-led push to bring issues with the state’s Medicaid privatization and its three managed-care organizations to light and to help iron out both eligibility and pre-authorization snags as well as tracking and improving claim and payment efficiency.

Sandy Ham, CEO of Progress Industries, was among those who attended the listening post, but she couldn’t be reached for comment by presstime Tuesday.

There had been involvement from Jasper County of-

Rep. Mark Smith (D-Marshalltown), who hosted the Aug. 2 meeting in Baxter, recently said there might be more meetings in the weeks

or months ahead in the Marshalltown area where those affected by Medicaid issues can meet with state legislators and/or state Medicaid officials.

Medicaid providers, patients testify about issues in Iowa

When Newton Community School District Maintenance Supervisor gave a recent report to the NCSD Board of Education about how the reconfiguration process was going, he didn’t take any of the credit for moving furniture or pulling up old carpet himself.

Instead, Suttek went down a long list of district employees from the custodial and maintenance department, along with many other district staff, contractors and

volunteers who helped rearrange items in several campus buildings this summer as the district reconfigured into four K-4 campuses.

“We wanted it to go super smooth, and it went, well, smooth,” Suttek told the board. “We had a plan and tried to stick to it as best we could. My team is the ‘A Team,’ and I couldn’t have done it without them.”

Although some flooding, Iowa famers begin chopping corn DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented Monday on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“Unfortunately, the heavy rains that rolled through Northeast Iowa last week caused significant flooding and continue to create challenges for farmers and communities. But, in general crops

continue to move towards maturity and remain in pretty good condition with 83 percent of corn and 82 percent of beans rated good to excellent,” Northey said.

Above normal precipitation resulted in just 4.1 days suitable for fieldwork across Iowa during the week ending Aug. 28, 2016. Activities for the week included chopping corn for silage and planting cover crops. Producers continued to

cut hay when conditions were dry enough.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 4 percent short, 83 percent adequate and 12 percent surplus. Ponding and flooding of some fields were reported in the northern two-thirds of Iowa.

Ninety-four percent of the corn crop reached the dough stage or beyond, 8 days ahead of the five-year average, with sixty-five percent dented or

beyond, five days ahead of both last year and normal.

Corn was starting to mature, most notably in the southern third of the State. Corn condition rated 83 percent good to excellent despite some reports of crop damage from heavy rain and wind during the week.

Soybeans setting pods reached 96 percent, four days ahead of last year. Thirteen percent of soybeans have started to turn color, three days ahead of last

year’s pace. Soybean condition rated 82 percent good to excellent, although there were reports of sudden death and white mold in some soybean fields. Oats harvested for grain or seed was virtually complete.

Pasture condition rated 64 percent good to excellent.

Livestock conditions were normal although higher insect numbers and muddy feedlots were reported in some areas of the State.

Ag organizations, leaders torn on TPP Courtesy of Iowa State University Trade organizations for soybeans and other mass-produced crops support U.S. ratification of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, while supporters of community-based, smaller agricultural operations are against the trade agreement.

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Opinions vary as to whether the Trans-Pacific Partnership would be a positive deal for farmers in Jasper County and the rest of Iowa — and the opinions seem to be drawn along the lines of smaller businesses versus larger farms and large business.

Trade organizations for soybeans and other mass-produced crops support U.S. ratification of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, while supporters of community-based, smaller agricultural operations are against the trade agreement. Congress must vote to ratify the treaty on behalf of the U.S., but other countries must also ratify it before February 2018, or it would go into a more complicated process requiring fewer countries to ratify it.

The 12-nation agreement, which has been negotiated secretly, would undoubtedly open up new markets for U.S. food producers and other suppliers, but the question is to what degree and whether only the largest American agricultural and manufacturing

operations will benefit.

The Iowa Corn Growers Association, Iowa Farm Bureau and the Iowa Soybean Association support approval of the TPP, as have some international companies, such as the United Parcel Service. National labor organizations, such as the Teamsters, have recently opposed the potential partnership.

The agreement cuts more than 18,000 tariffs, including all tariffs on all U.S. manufactured goods and almost all U.S. farm products.

According to the Congressional Research Service, the TPP “would be the largest U.S. FTA by trade flows — $905 billion in U.S. goods and services exports and $980 billion in imports in 2014.”

Iowa leaders are somewhat divided. U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, the lone Iowa Democrat in Congress, is opposed to the TPP, while Sen. Chuck Grassley said he feels a defeat is likely for the TPP, which would be devastating to the U.S. economy.

“I think it would signal to the rest of the world that the leadership of the United States in leading free trade arrangements for the last 70 years would be a new approach,” said Grassley, who is a former Senate Finance Committee Chair. “And I think the world has already gone on, to some extent, because of a slackening of American leadership.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the deal won’t be voted upon this year, but could

be “massaged and worked on” after President Obama leaves office.

Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and former candidate Bernie Sanders say they are opposed to the TPP, though Trump said he thinks it will be approved by Congress regardless.

“The Trans-Pacific Partnership is another disaster, done and pushed by special interests who want to rape our country,” Trump said. “Just a continuing rape of our country. That’s what it is, too. It’s a harsh word. It will be approved.”

At a recent appearance in Iowa, Trump said NAFTA was not good for Iowa, and TPP would not be helpful to trade, either.

That will make NAFTA, for Iowa and for other places, like baby stuff,” Trump said. “So you can’t do it. TPP is a disaster.”

The Organic Consumers Association explained last week on its website why it is opposed to the TPP. “The United States is highly reliant on industrial agriculture, which means those 12 countries going into the agreement will be pitting their small-scale farmers against our large-scale farming practices,” the OCA said. “This will force small-scale farmers out of business and off their lands strengthening the industrial agricultural machine.”

In drought, drones help California farmers save every drop LOS BANOS, Calif. (AP) — A drone whirred to life in a cloud of dust, then shot hundreds of feet skyward for a bird’s-eye view of a vast tomato field in California’s Central Valley, the nation’s most productive farming region.

Equipped with a state-of-the-art thermal camera, the drone crisscrossed the field, scanning it for cool, soggy patches where a gopher may have chewed through the buried drip irrigation line and caused a leak.

In the drought-prone West, where every drop of water counts, California farmers are in a constant search for ways to efficiently use the increasingly scarce resource. Cannon Michael is putting drone technology to work on his fields at Bowles Farming Co. near Los Banos, 120 miles southeast of San Francisco.

About 2,100 companies and individuals have federal permission to fly drones for farming, according to the drone industry’s Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International. Federal regulators planned to relax the rules Monday on commercial drones, a move that could spur even greater use of such aircraft on farms.

Michael is descended from Henry Miller, a renowned cattle rancher, farmer and Western landowner who helped transform semi-arid central California into fertile farmland 150 years ago by building irrigation canals, some still flowing today.

Six generations later, Michael farms a 17-square-mile portion of that same land, growing melons, carrots, onions, cotton and almonds, while carrying on in the same pioneering spirit as Miller.

“I’ve always been a big fan of technology,” said Michael, 44, mindful of how climate change is making water more precious.

Portion of North Fourth Avenue West closed Newton Daily News Due to street construction, which began on Monday, North Fourth Avenue will be closed to through traffic between West Eighth Street N. and Highway 14.

The main detour will be along West Eighth Street North, First Avenue West and Highway 14. An additional detour on North Seventh Avenue West and West Fourth Street North will be required when work is done at the intersection of North Fourth Avenue West and West Eighth Street North.

The paving operations will be completed in phases to minimize loss of access for residents on this street. The street closure to through traffic is estimated to be about six to eight weeks, weather dependent.

of unexpected delays or added projects, such as replacing carpet in one area of Emerson Hough Elementary School, the summer moving went largely as planned.

Suttek began working on a timeline almost one year ago, instructing principals on how teachers and other staff needed to have the majority of their items packed up — mostly into boxes — if they were relocating for the 2016-17 school year.

Suttek said there were a few misplaced medium-sized or smaller items, such as supply cabinets, and some items that needed to be replaced. He thanked several district employees for their help with procuring or crafting replacements.

Thomas Jefferson Elementary School has a new preschool-specific playground, as it wasn’t practical to move the fencedin Drake University Head Start Program playground, which has remained at Emerson Hough. The board voted in March to purchase about $128,000 worth of new playground equipment for the two elementary schools.

Emerson Hough projects including carpeting, repainting, replacing much of the HVAC equipment, installing lockers for third- and fourth-graders, rearranging much of the second floor that formerly belonged to the Basics & Beyond (now WEST Academy) and moving WEST Academy and administration offices across town to the EJH Beard Administration Center.

Suttek praised Newton Correctional Facility staff and the inmates that were permitted to help NCSD staff who tasks like moving pallets, furniture and other heavy items between campuses. He said in supervising the inmates, he was able to talk with them enough to share some of his life experience in a mentoring type of way, and the process seemed mutually beneficial.

“They are guys who have made some bad choices, but we really couldn’t have done of this without them, either,” Suttek said.

Suttek said he asked Newton Correctional staff if inmates could be extended, coming into town to help beyond the originally planned dates. He also said he’d ask if the inmates could help during the school year with work at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

“They are really hard workers,” Suttek said. “I really appreciate their help.”

Medicaid Continued from Page 1A Monday’s hearing happened three days after The Iowa Department of Human Services released its first quarterly report since the state handed over its $5 billion Medicaid program with more than 560,000 recipients to the private insurers on April 1. The report detailed claims payments, enrollment figures and capitation rates for Amerigroup Iowa, AmeriHealth Caritas Iowa and UnitedHealthcare of the River Valley.

Monday’s testimony included some detailed issues from providers, espe-

cially about available and covered services. One provider said the added stress of either finding out certain services might not be covered has been enough to upset clients in chartable, documented ways.

Michelle Meadors, a Des Moines-area Medicaid consumer, testified before the committee, urging them and other lawmakers to help provide a health care environment they’d want to have if they had a life-changing accident or illness. The quadriplegic said she was injured in a car accident about five years ago, and now requires directly attended care.

“I was optimistic about

managed care organizations,” Meadors said.

“That’s what I wanted — to manage my health care. Everyone talks about pre-authorization. Well, every other day I have what I call a (expletive), shower and shave day. I have to schedule my (expletive), I have to schedule my shower, and I have to schedule my shave.

I couldn’t get supplies. You would think these supplies, along with catheter tubes, would be essential.”

Last Friday’s quarterly report says the state is projecting the move to managed care saved it more than $22.2 million in spending during its first three months, adding it is on track to save more than

$110 million in the first year. While all three MCOs resolved beneficiary grievances within 30 days of receipt, according to the report, one MCO, Amerigroup, received 145 grievances during the quarter, while AmeriHealth received 42 and UnitedHealthcare received 39.

All three MCOs have reported financial losses in the initial months of the new arrangement.

Capitation rates — or the per-member, permonth fees paid to the MCOs by the state — equal more than $850 million.

Trotter also presented a new scoring structure, giving less weight to qualifications and previous experience and more to procedures and timelines and fee structures.

“Everyone of these consultants, by and large, is going to be qualified,” Trotter said. “By putting 30 percent of the score on that, it is subjective.

You and I will have different opinions on what is qualified and now I’ve got to put a number on that. It is going to be very difficult.”

Instead, Trotter gave a scoring structure describing the company and providing a client reference list each receiving five points, procedures and timelines of the search receiving 30 points, identification of services and replacement services if the candidate would step down would receive 15 points each and

“In my opinion, you need to put it on procedures and timeline because they will all be different. If two of them are the same but somebody can do it in 30 days and somebody can do it in 60 days, there is a point there,” Trotter said. “I would think we’d want the two highest things we are going to judge be the fees and

The scariest bug on Earth F

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

or the most part, I don’t have a huge problem with bugs. As long as they stay outside they are safe from me.

I’m not scared of them and realize they have a place in this world to do whatever they do.

There is one bug that at the mention of it can send chills down my spine and make me want to move instantly. One tiny little bug, the flea, makes my stomach drop and an instant fear I’m going to have to get rid of all of my stuff and move out for several months.

If you have read my column in the past, you will know at my last house we had a flea problem. For a quick recap, about two years ago we decided to refinish the hard wood floors in our house, sanding every square in our of house to do so. Within a week, we started noticing little black bugs

everywhere and our dog, Homer, was losing his mind scratching and biting at the bugs attacking him.

After our first attempt to bomb the little buggers, we realized that our problem was much larger than our dog bringing in fleas to the house. We found out that the former owners of our house had cats who had fleas. Those fleas laid eggs all throughout our house and through the vibration of the sander, we started the process of hatching thousands and thousands of fleas.

Those fleas attacked our entire house, causing us to move out for three months, get rid of all of our furniture and repeatedly chemical bomb our house until no bug could exist there for the next five years. If we walked from the front of our house to the back we would have no less than 25

fleas on each foot with many more ready to jump on. It was an expensive, exhaustive, inconvenient process and explains why I shutter at the thought of a flea.

While brushing my dogs the past couple of weeks, I started noticing what looked like dirt in his fur. At first, I thought nothing of it. I just figured that he had been rolling around outside in the grass and dirt.

It wasn’t until I noticed him starting to scratch more than usual my alerts went off. Also, while I was brushing him, I threw some of the “dirt” in the sink to wash it off of my hands and not long after the “dirt” had a growing red circle forming around it.

As soon as I saw it, I grabbed my dog and put him in the bath. During our first outbreak, that was how we were alerted to a serious issue. When we washed Homer, red water poured off of him from the large amount of flea bites, shocking us. I later learned that the “dirt” was flea dropping used to feed growing fleas. So gross.

This time, it wasn’t as bad. I could see

a tint of red but nothing like what we encountered before. After a thorough wash of flea shampoo, Homer went on his way, and I started cleaning everywhere I thought could be contaminated.

While cleaning, I started noticing dead fleas all over. It took a day or two before I saw a live flea in the house. I kind of wanted to throw up, but I kept having to remind myself fleas are not uncommon and that our previous situation was very uncommon and not the case this time around.

We have since given Homer his flea pill, and he is no long scratching. We have washed everything Homer has been near and treated the small amounts of carpet left in our house several times.

To some it my seem like overkill, but to us it doesn’t feel like enough. I am confident that we have the situation under control but small part of me is terrified the tiny bug is going to take over our house again.

I’m not a real man I wish I supported Donald Trump.

If you think about it, I should.

I’m a 59 year-old workingman who grew up in the Midwest. My wages have been stagnant for a number of years now. I take my hat off when I’m watching a parade and the flag passes. My grandparents were legal immigrants. I don’t own a gun, but I did when I was younger, and I’m a good shot.

I can box. Black people are moving into my neighborhood. I’m a Christian.

How simple, then, to buy a Chinese-made, “Make America Great Again,” hat and start talking about building walls and banning Muslims. How easy to say I want to “take America back.” How much fun it would be to proclaim “All lives matter?” How restful to say welfare payments are bankrupting the country even though it isn’t true and hasn’t ever been true.

Saying or believing all that stuff is instant tough guy, like buying a leather jacket or a motorcycle. What sagging, slightly achy man my age doesn’t want to be tough again?

Was I ever tough? I was tough enough to work my way through college and graduate school. Tough enough that I’ve worked since I was 14, and I’ve never cashed an unemployment check or a welfare check.

Tough enough that I own a house. Tough enough that I don’t have kids who live with other people.

Tough enough that, when she got old enough that a trip to the hairdresser was difficult, I taught myself to wash and set my elderly mother’s hair.

Oh, but that’s not it. Tough in 2016 is a gun and a swagger and a sneer at “baby mamas.” Oh, your 18 year-old daughter might be pregnant out of wedlock, but she just “made a mistake.” She’s not a “whore” like the black women on welfare. And you might not be married to that man you live with, but you’re a Christian and you believe in “family values.”

Support the police, who make more money than you do and still have a union. Support the military, where the health insurance is better than you’ve ever had in your life. Support the corporations who buy their way out of the taxes you have to pay.

Support everyone but yourself. Beg for another smack in the mouth. You can take it. You’re tough.

If you weren’t tough, you’d vote for black guys or women.

Yeah. I’m not a real man. If I was, I’d be afraid of everything new, everything different, everything that makes a noise in the night or a creak in the attic.

I’m not a Donald Trump supporter. You know why? Because I’m not scared.

This vote for a bond being brought to the public was a “no brainer” to even a new school board member like myself, due to the cost differential we were shown between making all the much needed fixes to mechanical, electrical and heating/

First, I think kids need to have the proper temperature in the classrooms. Some of the classrooms are blazing hot while others are freezing cold. It makes it difficult to pay attention and focus

cooling within the Berg building versus the cost of rebuilding the school. In addition, rebuilding the school versus just making changes within multiple mechanical areas, also gives the option of making Berg classroom physical sizes more in line with recommended sizes and more in line with our other school buildings in the district.

Is it a shame to consider having to tear down and rebuild a school building that is not really that old in age? Certainly. Is it also a shame that the one building we have heard many teachers, students and parents consistently complain about within our district is the one that is actually holding the most students within our district? Certainly. Change is hard, especially when it comes sooner than we would expect or desire, but it is important to keep all of our teaching/learning environments positive for our stu-

dents, teachers and community now and into the future.

School boards, superintendents, teachers and students change over time, but the goal throughout all those changes is that the quality of the education remains the same for all of our students. This means quality in curriculum, quality in instruction, quality in experiences and quality in environment for learning. You have the opportunity to directly help us improve this quality in environment with your vote on Sept. 13. If you have detailed questions about this upcoming bond issue, please go to preservethepride.com for more information, talk to a Newton school board member or a member of our very dedicated bond committee and please consider voting “yes” with me on Tuesday, Sept. 13.

when the temperature is constantly changing.

If we had better bathrooms, heating and cooling, better windows, kitchens, and if all the classrooms had windows, I think that more parents/guardians would want to enroll their child(ren) in the school because they would know that their child(ren) would spend the day in a high quality school.

Not only that, but a new school would provide more learning opportunities for the students. A better school means better students.

Better students mean happy parents. Happy parents brag about how great their school is and that makes more people want to bring their families to Newton.

No, I won’t be able to use the school myself, but my younger brother & cousins will and I want the best for them. You have the choice to make the future so much better for the kids in Newton and it will only cost a few dollars a year.

Thank you for reading this.

Vote yes on Sept.13.

Husband’s longtime friendship is now forbidden by his wife DEAR ABBY: I recently retired after 26 years of working with a professional partner of the opposite sex.

Now my wife expects me to cut off all communication with her. There was never any intimacy or sexual attraction at all, just a friendship established over many years.

I have explained this to my wife many times, but she refuses to believe me and wants this person out of my life for good. How can I explain this to someone I have worked with for so many years? Is my wife’s request reasonable? Can’t married males have female friends, or am I restricted to only male friends for the rest of my life? — FENCED IN, IN WASHINGTON DEAR FENCED IN: No, I do not think it is reasonable, and the implication is insulting not only to your former working partner but also to you. However, unless you can get to the bottom of your wife’s obviously deep insecurity, find a way to reassure her and get her to deal with it, that is exactly what is going to happen. You may need the help of a marriage counselor, but it will be worth it because men who feel fenced in — trapped — don’t usually stay happily married. How sad.

DEAR ABBY: I have a question for you and your readers. Why have baby boomers failed in the way they raised their children?

We were raised with honor, respect for authority (even a little fear), integrity, a hard work ethic, honesty, etc. The millennial generation, for the most part, lacks all of those qualities.

They don’t want to work, can’t get off their mobile devices and don’t want to leave home. They expect their parents to take care of them, and have no appreciation and no respect.

I’m not saying they are all that way, but the majority I have encountered

are. I blame it on parents who didn’t raise them with the same values they grew up with. What’s your take on this, Dear Abby? How do we fix it?

— ANONYMOUS IN CALIFORNIA DEAR ANONYMOUS: There is no one-size-fits-all answer to your question, and frankly, whether the millennial generation lacks the qualities you listed is a matter of perspective. I would hesitate to paint a picture of an entire generation with one brushstroke. Readers, what do you think?

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have an issue. If I go away on business, I make sure to provide my travel information such as hotel and flight numbers. But when my husband goes away, he refuses to provide any information. I try to explain that if there’s an emergency or an issue with flights, the information would be helpful. I can get nowhere with him regarding this matter. Any advice? — TRAVEL ISSUE IN CONNECTICUT DEAR TRAVEL ISSUE: Yes, I’m sorry to say I do have some. People who are secretive usually have something to hide. It’s time that you ascertain whether your husband is traveling for business as he claims, or whether it’s for pleasure without you.

The supervisors voted 3-0 on Monday to rezone the 746 acres from agriculture to heavy industrial. The approval is a key step for Pattison Sand Co.’s plan to expand its sand mining operation. The supervisors added restrictions requiring that mining be done underground, that Pattison implement a well-monitoring program and that the company be responsible for any well damage.

Iowa approves health insurance rate hikes for four companies DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa’s health insurance regulator has approved premium rate increases for four companies ranging from 43 percent to 19 percent.

Documents released Monday by Iowa Insurance Commissioner Nick Gerhart say more than 75,200 Iowans will pay more beginning Jan. 1.

The biggest increase of 42.6 percent affects 22,000 customers of Wellmark Blue Cross & Blue Shield.

About 7,700 policyholders of Wellmark Health Plan of Iowa will see an increase of 37.8 percent if they joined after the federal Affordable Care Act was passed. Another group of 2,300 enrolled prior to the law will see a 42.6 percent increase.

The commissioner also approved a 23 percent increase for 42,000 Aetna Health of Iowa policyholders. Increases of 19 percent for Medica Insurance Co. and 19.8 percent for Gunderson Health Plan also were approved.

File Photo Activists with the Bakken Pipeline Resistance Coalition gather on the westside of the Iowa Capitol Building on June 6 to protest a 2-1 decision by the Iowa Utilities Board which allowed Dakota Access, LLC. to begin construction on the 343mile Iowa segment of a crude oil pipeline slated to be built underneath 18 counties. Opposition leaders have announced they plan to use civil disobedience to interrupt the pipeline’s construction during and expected protest Wednesday in Boone County.

Pipeline company seeks restraining order against protesters

DES MOINES (AP) — The company building an oil pipeline across Iowa is asking a federal judge to issue a restraining order against two protest groups and their leaders.

Dakota Access filed the action in Des Moines on Monday against Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, Bold Iowa and their directors including former state lawmaker Ed Fallon, who leads Bold Iowa.

The groups are planning acts of civil disobedience along the pipeline route to protest its construction.

The company seeks a court or-

der keeping protesters at least 25 feet away from construction easements which it says will “permit the meaningful opportunity to exercise protected First Amendment speech while ensuring the safety of all involved.”

Dakota Access says protesters have burned its equipment causing $3 million in property damage and delaying construction in two counties.

Gov. Terry Branstad said he’ll authorize the Iowa State Patrol to deal with protesters who could try to stop construction of a $3.8 billion oil pipeline. Branstad told reporters at his weekly news con-

ference, held this Monday in Pella, that the state patrol would ensure the safety of those building the pipeline, and that could helping local law enforcement respond to protests.

The Iowa Utilities Board has approved construction of the pipeline, which will run 1,172 miles through Iowa, Illinois, North Dakota and South Dakota. The route will cut through 18 Iowa counties.

Pipeline opponents have promised to engage in civil disobedience to stop the construction, but Branstad says they should accept the board’s approval of the project and not break the law.

UnitedHealthcare official confirms Medicaid losses DES MOINES (AP) — A representative for one of the insurance companies overseeing Iowa’s newly privatized Medicaid program said Monday the company has lost money during the system’s implementation, but declined to say exactly how much.

Kim Foltz, CEO for UnitedHealthcare’s Iowa operations, cited information in a new quarterly report in telling a legislative oversight committee at the Iowa Capitol that the company has lost money.

The confirmation means all three insurance companies that run Iowa’s health care program for more than 500,000 poor

and disabled residents have lost money in the initial months of implementation.

The new program, which supporters said would improve care and contain costs, has been under scrutiny over reports of delays in care and payments to health care providers.

AmeriHealth Caritas and Amerigroup, the other insurance companies, filed reports with the state recently that showed losses in the tens of millions of dollars in the first six months. AmeriHealth Caritas said it had a $42.6 million deficit on its Iowa operation; Amerigroup reported a loss of $66.7 million.

UnitedHealthcare, which has other lines of business in Iowa, did not break down those costs in its filing.

Sen. David Johnson, a former Republican from Ocheyedan who recently changed his affiliation to “No Party,” turned to Foltz during the meeting and asked about the state filing. He asked her if the company was losing money, and she responded by referencing data in a separate quarterly report released Friday.

“Our numbers are represented in the quarterly report, and by those numbers, the answer to your question is yes,” she said.

Reed gets off the bubble and into victory mode FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Patrick Reed occupied the eighth and final spot in the Ryder Cup standings going into the final qualifying event, which brought him the attention no one wants. He was the guy on the bubble, and most of the chatter was negative.

Even more aggravating to Reed was that it was his own fault.

The American had developed the consistency he needed. Over the last 20 months, he had 22 finishes in the top 10 around the world, with five runner-ups.

Missing during that stretch was winning, and that’s all that matters to Reed.

“Because at the end of the day, a lot of top 10s ... it’s great, but it’s going to make you be on that bubble,” Reed said. “I’ve had it feels like 100 top 10s this year. And I’ve just kind of stayed there on that No. 6, 7, 8, 9 on the Ryder Cup. And it takes something like a win to be able to solidify yourself.”

The timing couldn’t be better for Reed. The moment couldn’t be better for his confidence.

He didn’t flinch in the final round at The Barclays until he could afford a few mistakes.

Reed went from a two-shot deficit early in the round to a threeshot lead with three holes to play, and he hung in from there for a 1-under 70 and a one-shot victory over Sean O’Hair and

AP Photo Patrick Reed watches his tee shot from the third hole during Sunday’s final round of The Barclays golf tournament in Farmingdale, N.Y. Winning The Barclays, Reed moved off the bubble to qualify for the U.S. Ryder Cup team.

Emiliano Grillo.

“Top 10s are great for making a living,” Reed said. “But at the end of the day, every time we play golf tournaments, we don’t play for top 10s. We’re going there to try to get a W and try to get hardware, try to get a trophy.”

The crystal trophy was on the table, and Reed glanced at it every now and then.

It was his fifth victory on the PGA Tour, and even though he faced one of the strongest and deepest fields of the year, Reed still favors one of his early victories as the most significant. That was two years ago in a World Golf Championship, when winning was still new to him.

Family and friends of the late Ryan Klingensmith, a 2010 Newton High School graduate, presented donations to the Newton Booster Club and the Newton Dollars for Scholars funds during a pregame ceremony Friday at H.A. Lynn Stadium. Klingensmith, a former NHS football player and multi-sport athlete, died in a drowning accident in June.

“Probably the biggest difference between this week and that week was I had another guy in black and red in the group in front of me,” Reed said with a smile.

That guy was Tiger Woods, whom Reed grew up idolizing to the point that he prefers to wear black trousers and a red shirt in the final group. That day at Doral, Woods played in the group ahead and Reed didn’t blink. Woods was starting to cope with back issues — he would have the first of three back surgeries a month later — though Reed didn’t give anyone much of a chance.

Djokovic, Nadal first-round match winners in US Open NEW YORK (AP) — Novak Djokovic double-faulted, then shook his right arm and grimaced.

Seconds later Monday night, a weak serve produced a wince from the U.S. Open’s defending champion, then was followed by a missed forehand that gave away a set — the first set dropped

by Djokovic in the first round of any Grand Slam tournament since 2010.

Djokovic Nadal While he managed to emerge with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 victory over Jerzy Janowicz of Poland, there were plenty of signs of trouble, starting with a visit from a trainer who massaged Djokovic’s bothersome arm after only five games.

Earlier in Arthur Ashe Stadium, Rafael Nadal stood near the net after winning his first Grand Slam match in three months — 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 against Denis Istomin — and unraveled the thick wrap of white tape protecting his all-important left wrist. He said he’s still not back to hitting his forehand the way he does when he’s at his best.

Nadal’s afternoon match was played with the new $150 million retractable roof open under a blue sky, while offering some extra shade on a day when the temperature reached 90 degrees.

All in all, Djokovic’s issues figure to loom large as the tournament progresses, and therefore amounted to the most noteworthy development at Flushing Meadows, even if there were results of interest elsewhere.

Those included No. 8-seeded Madison Keys’ 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-2 comeback victory over 60th-ranked Alison Riske in the last match of the night.

That was one of three intriguing all-American contests Monday. The others were 20th-seeded John Isner’s comeback from two sets down to edge 18-year-old Frances Tiafoe before a rowdy, standing-room-only crowd at the new Grandstand, and 26th-seeded Jack Sock’s fiveset victory over another 18-year-old, Taylor Fritz.

Reed Continued from Page 1B The victory at Bethpage required a little more work.

He trailed Rickie Fowler early, and even when he caught him with a birdie on the seventh hole, Reed felt another tournament slipping away.

Reed couldn’t help but think about all the missed chances in the opening hour — four putts from 10 feet or in that failed to drop, including an 8-foot eagle attempt. He wondered if this was one of those stretches that had kept him from winning since the 2015 opener at Kapalua.

That’s when his caddie, brother-in-law Kessler Karain, stepped in and told him to quit worrying about it and keep hitting good shots.

Two tough par saves gave him the lead.

A birdie on No. 12 stretched it two shots, and no one got closer until Reed made bogey on the final hole.

He was no longer on the bubble, moving to No. 4 in the Ryder Cup to qualify easily.

He went up to No. 9 in the world, a little closer to that boast that he felt like a top 5 player when he won at Doral. And he is No. 1 in the FedEx Cup. That’s significant because Reed now is assured of being among the five players who only have to win the Tour Championship at East Lake to capture the FedEx Cup and claim the $10 million bonus, the richest payoff in golf.

And he’ll be at Hazeltine when the Ryder Cup begins Sept. 30.

It was at the Ryder Cup two years ago when Reed first showed his pugnacious side. He placed his finger over his lips for a “shush” sign that riled up Scottish gallery at Gleneagles and earned him a small measure of respect for his moxie. Reed was one of the bright spots for the Americans, and he’s eager to play before a home crowd.

Cancer survivor Meyers named starter for Cyclones AMES (AP) — Iowa State defensive end Mitchell Meyers has had a lot more on his mind than just football over the last 18 months.

Finally cancer-free, Meyers is hoping to be much more than just an inspiration to the Cyclones in 2016.

Meyers Meyers, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in February of 2015, wasn’t cleared to fully rejoin his teammates until fall camp. But Meyers’ fight to beat cancer was such a stirring tale that his fellow Cyclones recently named him a captain.

Iowa State (3-9 in 2015) also is expecting big things on the field from Meyers, a senior who on Monday officially regained his starting status for Saturday’s opener against Northern Iowa.

“I’ve actually been thinking about this...if you were to tell

me I’d get cancer two years ago, I would have never believed you. And if you were to tell me that I’m in the position I’m in now six months ago, I definitely wouldn’t have believed you,” Meyers said. “Right now I’m in a really good position to succeed.”

Meyers first broke out for Iowa State as a freshman in 2013, playing in all 12 games.

Meyers moved into the starting lineup as an interior lineman as a sophomore, and he was expected to be one of the key defenders for the Cyclones in 2015.

But during winter workouts that season, Meyers noticed that his neck was unusually sore. Doctors diagnosed him with cancer, and Meyers was forced to put football on hold.

Though Meyers couldn’t practice with his teammates, he never missed a workout while battling his disease in both Iowa and his home state of Texas for most of 2015.

During that time, the coach who recruited him, Paul Rhoads, was fired. Meyers

wasn’t even able to meet new coach Matt Campbell until the middle of spring practice, which he sat out as part of his recovery.

Meyers earned the immediate respect of Campbell, who first got to know Meyers on the phone as he went through treatment.

“This young man that had this upbeat spirit about himself going through this, and it can put you in your place really fast. Tough days come, and are they really that tough? Here’s what this guy is going through,” Campbell said. “Mitchell’s last words to me (on the phone) were, ‘I’m coming back to play.

I’m not coming back to be just a story.’”

Meyers said Monday that, despite having to learn a new system and build his body back to where it was before he got sick, the muscle memory he built up playing football has helped.

Meyers didn’t start fall camp atop the depth chart. But as Campbell and his coaches watched Meyers go through

Iowa native Brett Moffitt wins Trucks race with final-lap pass BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Brett Moffitt isn’t eligible for the season-ending Chase in the NASCAR Truck Series.

Teammate Timothy Peters is, but on the final lap at Michigan International Speedway, that didn’t much matter.

“We just had such a run — we were rolling five to 10 miles an hour faster Moffitt than them getting into Turn 1,” Moffitt said.

“I knew if there was room to get to the outside, I didn’t care if it was going to stick or not. I’m here to win races.”

Moffitt, who is from Grimes, passed Peters and William Byron to win Saturday’s Trucks race at Michigan by 0.098 seconds, a thrilling ending that gave Red Horse Racing a 1-2 finish.

Peters took second but remains

without a win this season — a victory could have solidified a spot in the Chase.

Moffitt won for the first time in six Trucks races.

This was only his fourth start of the year on this series in the No. 11 Toyota, so he’s not eligible for the Chase.

Peters was two laps away from what would have been his first victory of the season, but Byron nosed ahead with a lap to go, and Moffitt was then able to move to the outside and take over the lead.

Daniel Hemric finished third and Byron ended up fourth.

Moffitt was the Sprint Cup rookie of the year last season but said he was victimized when Michael Waltrip Racing folded late in 2015.

“Every year in my career has kind of been like that. I’ve always been at the end of the year not knowing where I’m going to go,” Moffitt said.

“Every time, it’s right when I start getting comfortable, it seems like the rug’s pulled out from under me.”

workouts, they realized that they not only had a starter on their hands, but one that had the toughness and character the new staff wants for its program.

“One of the best stories in college football,” Campbell said.

Meyers acknowledges that he might never be the player that he was before he got sick, though he also said that he feels as good as he’s ever felt heading into a season.

Meyers also will play his final season wearing No. 58, which Iowa State hands to the lineman who best embodies the spirit of beloved former line coach Curtis Bray.

Bray was 43 when he died in 2014 of a pulmonary embolism.

“Battling cancer is a lot like playing football. Obviously the implications are a lot bigger battling cancer. But you learn a lot about mental toughness playing football,” Meyers said. “It helped me a lot to get through what I went through, and vice versa.”

Endwell, New York, wins Little League World Series SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — As Ryan Harlost stepped to the mound Sunday, he took it all in.

Chants of “U-S-A, U-S-A!” droned over his left shoulder as he dipped it to deliver a warm-up pitch. South Korean arms and flags waved furiously to his right. Little kids who asked for his autograph earlier in the week used makeshift sleds to slide down the hill toward most of the 22,000-plus fans who packed Lamade Stadium.

The Endwell, New York, pitcher admitted it made him uneasy. He sure didn’t show it.

“I was a little nervous at first in front of a lot of people, but I felt confident going in,” Harlost said.

Harlost led New York to the Little League World Series title, striking out eight and limiting South Korea to five hits in six innings in a 2-1 victory. He scored the deciding run on a passed ball in the fourth inning.

Endwell snapped a five-year championship drought for U.S. teams on Little League’s biggest stage and gave New York its first title since 1964.

Mid Island from Staten Island won New York’s last World Series championship.

Conner Rush had the New York team’s only RBI to give Endwell a lead it wouldn’t relinquish in the bottom of the fourth. Harlost (2-0) scored the deciding run on a passed ball a batter later.

Astrograph

There’s a lot going on when two people engage in conversation. We think of what to say, listen, adjust our body language subconsciously and consciously, all while staying aware of the environment in our periphery. It’s no wonder some find interactions stressful. Mercury goes retrograde today, introverting some of social interactions.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 30). One of your birthday wishes will come to fruition next month. Now through the year’s end, a great sense of self-discipline will well up in you. You will expertly manage your emotions, curb your cravings and shine in the social

arena of your choice. Family will grow in January. Finances improve in October and May. Capricorn and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 10, 4, 6 and 45.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Who you really are is not always the same person you’ve allowed yourself to become. It is the same for everyone. What is also the same for everyone is the potential to steer things back on course at any moment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Those who react badly to criticism prevent themselves from growing, because they alienate the very people who can enlighten them as to how

they (or their work) are being perceived.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The person who is trying to seduce you away from your work or your goals isn’t really on your side. Those who want you to succeed wouldn’t dream of tempting you in another direction.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Your friendliness puts all at ease. There are those who take themselves too seriously to fully understand the importance of small talk and its role in building rapport. But even these types will not be immune to your charms.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Because someone wants your approval, this person is

unlikely to speak of anything unflattering or controversial.

You’re better off with the truth.

Make it clear that honesty is a stipulation of your approval.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Is what you want really worth working so long and hard to get to? That future day will come whether or not you worked long and hard -- only, if you don’t put in the work, that future day won’t have nearly the same significance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You want to know that the other person will be there and be loyal. This is not too much to ask, though it’s not the right time to ask it, certainly not directly. Look for clues instead, and trust your instincts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A Chinese proverb says that the eye can’t see its own lashes. This was before the invention of extra-long eyelash extensions. Still, it’s possible that you possess a quality that is invisible to you though others see it clearly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be catering to an ego today, and this is tricky business for sure, especially if the ego in question happens to be your own. Go gingerly, as no good will come of alienating your subject.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Certain emotions are unobtainable without a good amount of self-awareness.

Jealousy and shame fall into the category; so do pride and

SM-NE1589616-0926

admiration. Today you’ll put what you know about yourself to good use.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You want to be dazzled by greatness and are therefore rooting for every source of potential amusement in your world, hoping (sometimes against hope) for the very best presentation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Your path will converge with another’s. Neither route is wrong. Neither is trying to own the whole path, just needing to take it over for the moment to get to the next place. All can be solved with courtesy.
