Semi crashes into home on First Avenue East

Exact cause unknown; no apparent serious injuries

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

The truck, based out of Illinois, somehow got on top of the curb near the west entrance to a Casey’s General Store parking lot, across from the Subway restaurant.

The semi then struck the front porch of the house, and came to a stop. Newton Fire Department crews arrived

There were no apparent serious injuries when a semi crashed into a home at 1004 First Avenue East at about 1:50 p.m. Monday.

The semi was apparently headed westbound on First Avenue East.

quickly, and were able to help the driver emerge.

He was walking and communicating, and while he appeared to have a minor leg injury, Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik said there were no injuries that appeared to be life-threatening.

Wellik said the semi’s trailer was empty at the time of the collision, making it easier for Barney’s Wrecker to use CRASH | 3A

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News A semi veered off the roadway and struck the home at 1004 First Avenue East at about 1:50 p.m. Monday. Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik didn’t know the exact cause of the wreck, although it is possible the driver might have had a medical issue at the wheel.

No one was seriously injured. The driver was taken to a local hospital for examination.

Council passes Newton to host Miss USA pageant for fifth straight year ordinance to address trash on porches, decks

Doland was Newton’s sole competitor in last year’s Miss Iowa USA pageant. The competition returns to Newton High School for a fifth consecutive year, with 8 p.m. prelims on Saturday and a 4 p.m. finale on Sunday.

Last year’s event drew about 1,000 visitors

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News One of the state’s most prestigious beauty pageants will take place in the Newton High School Center for Performance for the fifth consecutive year.

The 2016 Miss Iowa USA and Miss Iowa Teen USA pageants

are slated to be held at NHS this weekend. Preliminaries are at 8 p.m. Saturday and the finale begins at 4 p.m. Sunday.

Linda Bacon, the executive director of Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the event is one of the biggest of the year in terms of bringing people from all corners of the state into Newton.

“We love this event because everyone is excited to be there,” Bacon said. “We really encourage Jasper County people to go and watch, and take advantage of having something like this in

Newton.”

The Miss Iowa USA and Miss Iowa Teen USA pageants are the official state preliminary pageants to the national pageants.

The young women crowned last year in Newton — Miss Iowa USA, Taylor Even, of Jessup, and Miss Teen Iowa USA, Aryn Book, of Adel — advanced to compete in their respective national-level competitions this summer, although neither one made the top 15.

In an effort to improve community aesthetics, the Newton City Council approved including unenclosed porches and decks to areas that need to be free of garbage Otto and trash at its Monday meeting.

The ordinance was on its second reading when the rules were suspended and it was formally adopted.

“In lieu of the seasons starting to change and moving into winter, I think it would be appropriate to move this ordinance ahead more quickly,” Council Member Noreen Otto said.

Currently, failing to clean up and remove garbage and trash on a property is a violation of the nuisance code. As the city continues to look for better tools to address unkempt property, it identified needing to update the code to include

unenclosed porches and decks.

The code will now read: “The depositing of, maintaining, permitting or failing to remove, garbage, trash, rubbish, bottles, can or other refuse outside of a building on any property within they city, including large quantities of organic debris and materials, which accumulated by other than natural means, except neatly maintained compost piles. ‘Outside of a building’ includes unenclosed decks and porches.”

Also approved was the purchase of a new ambulance for the Newton Fire Department. The ambulance, which is a 2016 Ford E-450, will be purchased from Lifeline Manufacturing at a price of $158,900.

“The new ambulance is the longer bed version.

This is the last one of the 2003s that had the short beds that will be replaced,” Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik said.

The ambulance will be paid for from proceeds from the 20152016 bonding project.

Grain Prices The Iowa Department of Agriculture/USDA Market News closing cash grain bids offered to producers as of 1:30 p.m. Friday are listed below. Prices are in dollars per bushel, delivered to Interior Iowa Country Elevators.

US 2 Yellow Corn prices were mostly 1 cent lower for a state average of $3.51. US 1 Yellow Soybean prices were mostly 15 cents lower for a state average of $8.19.

Yellow Corn — In the North Central region, the average range was $3.44 to $3.55 with an average of $3.49. In the South Central region, the average range was $3.43 to $3.54 with an average of $3.48.

Yellow Soybeans — In the North Central region, the average range was $8.12 to $8.17 with an average of $8.15. In the South Central region, the average range was $8.12 to $8.18 with an average of $8.15.

Corn basis to state average price for the CBOT DEC contract is -.38, and soybean basis for the CBOT NOV contract is -.58. This report was prepared by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.

Chinese soybean buyers agree to multi-billion dollar purchase during Iowa visit Metro Creative Connection Maybe meat and dairy products have no country of origin labeling. The Iowa Farmers Union spent much of the summer urging Congress to follow legislative paths that will require such labeling.

COOL legislation takes strange twists, turns Iowa Farmers Union focused on Congressional progress

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News It isn’t yet clear exactly what labels — if any — will reveal country of origin in the next few years. The Iowa Farmers Union is hoping to help establish guidelines that help Jasper County farmers and the rest of Iowa’s agriculture the most.

The union, a trade organization, is headed by Jana Linderman. She and others recently traveled to Washington, D.C., to help fight to retain country-of-origin labeling, and to urge Congress not to pass any new COOL measures while some major World Trade Organization policies and penalties are still being discussed.

“We need basic standards in place, that can bring out honesty and integrity,” Linderman told the Newton Daily News after she returned from Washington. “And we need to ensure there aren’t loopholes, and that meat that’s labeled as American-raised stayed in the U.S. throughout slaughter and processing.”

As president of the union, Linderman is advocating on behalf of maintaining COOL requirements, and Congress moved on opposing pieces of legislation this summer. The moves regarding a voluntary labeling system are part of an effort to avoid trade retaliation by Canada and Mexico. This retaliation follows an adverse WTO ruling that took issue with U.S. labeling requirements for beef and pork.

“This isn’t our ideal outcome,” Linderman said. “We were unhappy with the WTO ruling. We were unhappy with the haste of the House repeal vote and now the attempt to force repeal through the Senate hidden in the highway bill.

Including chicken in the re-

peal, when it was not part of the WTO ruling, is nothing more than a transparent giveaway to U.S. processors who think it might be a good idea to outsource part of their operations to China someday soon.”

The farmers union is encouraging both houses of Congress to pass S. 1844, known as the Hoeven-Stabenow bill, which was introduced in the Senate in late July, but has yet to even be make it past an agricultural subcommittee.

“The Hoeven-Stabenow bill gets us square with the WTO,” Linderman said. “If you look at the list of the dozen or more senators sponsoring this bill, these are longtime supporters of COOL, like Sen. (Chuck) Grassley.”

At the same time, an opposing bill, HR 2393, cleared the House by a June vote and has yet to be taken up by the Senate.

HR 2393 calls for completely repealing “country of origin labeling requirements with respect to beef, pork, and chicken, and for other purposes.”

Voting on HR 2393 in the House went largely along party lines in the House. Iowa Republicans U.S. Sen. Steve King and U.S. Rep. David Young were among the 300 “yes” votes, and both are listed among the 82 sponsors of the bill. U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack — the lone Iowa Democrat in Congress this term — was among the 131 “no” votes.

There are other pieces of legislation affecting COOL issues as well. A Senate amendment to an Internal Revenue Code bill, introduced by U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kansas), would eliminate COOL altogether.

“The House repeal bill — and the Roberts repeal bill in the Senate — have been ridiculous in their haste, their overreach and their disrespect for

U.S. consumers. It would be just as ridiculous for us not to take this opportunity to stand up for the integrity of our U.S. label; we have fought too long and too hard to let that happen.”

Following three days of meetings with U.S. Department of Agriculture leaders, key White House staff and nearly every Congressional and Senatorial official on Capitol Hill, the 275 Farmers Union members participating in the organization’s annual fall fly-in returned home.

The union also opposed any legislative changes to the Renewable Fuel Standard and urged Congress to reject the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The union also urged restoration of full trade and tourism with Cuba, and urged support of a Senate Agriculture Appropriations Amendment that requires a plan be in place before resuming trade with parts of Argentina and Brazil that have a history of Foot and Mouth Disease outbreaks.

The Iowa Farmers Union has been working since 1915 to protect and enhance the economic well-being and quality of life for family farmers and rural communities, she said.

Three other Iowa Farmers Union members made the trek with Linderman to DC, including Aaron Lehman, Sally Gran and Ben Lehman.

“For decades upon decades, Farmers Union members have made an annual migration to Washington to make their case for smarter, fairer farm policies,” Linderman said. “The enthusiasm, passion and commitment are as strong today as they have ever been.”

Iowa Soybean Association More than a dozen Chinese soybean buyers agreed to purchase $5.3 billion worth of U.S. soybeans last week in Des Moines.

The 484-million bushel order comes at a perfect time as Iowa farmers begin to harvest what’s expected to be a record crop, according to Grant Kimberley, Iowa Soybean Association market development director.

Government estimates peg Iowa soybean production at 526 million bushel, up 2 percent from the August forecast. U.S. soybean production is forecast at 3.94 billion bushels, a near record.

Shortly after signing purchase agreements at a ceremony in the Ruan Center, more than a dozen feed and grain company representatives and government officials got a first-hand look at the crop and harvesting equipment during a tour of the Kimberley family farm near Maxwell. The family farm hosted China’s President Xi Jinping when he visited Iowa in 2012 as vice president.

“Business in Asia is driven by relationships,” Kimberley said. “The ISA has diligently worked to foster partnerships, which serve as a foundation for a long-lasting cooperation between our two countries.

With the large crop, it’s important to maximize our export opportunities. Building on these partnerships help us continue to be a supplier of choice.”

In the most recent marketing year, records show U.S. soy exports accounted for 62 percent of U.S. soy production. China imports approximately 25 percent of all U.S. soy produced.

Nearly one-third soybeans harvested, 13 percent corn DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“Iowa farmers were able to harvest a quarter of the state’s 10 million acres of soybeans last week and have now 32 percent of beans out of the field. Thirteen percent of the state’s corn crop has also been harvested. Both of those numbers will likely continue to grow rapidly as crops continue to dry down and even more farmers get into the field,” Northey said.

Mostly dry conditions allowed Iowa farmers to harvest one-quarter of the State’s soybean crop during the week ending Oct. 4, according the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Fieldwork activities for the week included cutting hay and harvesting soybeans and corn for grain. In some areas, farmers are waiting for their crops to dry down before harvesting. There were also reports of manure being spread.

Ninety percent of the corn crop was mature.

Thirteen percent of the corn crop for grain has been harvested, 10 days ahead of last year, but eight days behind average. Corn condition rated 80 percent good to excellent.

Ninety-seven percent of soybeans were turning color or beyond. Thirty-two percent of the soybean crop has been harvested, one week ahead of last year, but one day behind average. Soybean condition rated 77 percent good to excellent.

She said Newton’s WHERE: NHS Center for Mariah Doland, who Performance competed last year, has been the only Newton-area contestant in the five years Newton has hosted the competition.

“That means everyone who competes is from outside the area, so this is a great chance for Newton to showcase itself,” Bacon said. “And some might have large amounts of family and friends show up to cheer them on.”

The pageant consists of three equally scored areas of competition: evening gown, swimwear and interview. Eligible contestants must be between the ages of 14 and 26 and be unmarried residents of Iowa who have never given birth in order to compete in the pageant.

The new titleholders will each receive thousands of dollars in college scholarships, prizes and awards. They will serve as role models for young women in Iowa by forging alliances with charitable organizations and civic groups and making many public appearances during their one-year reigns.

Tickets are available to the public for purchase for both the preliminary show and finale show through www.missiowausa.com or www.missiowateenusa.com. The cost is $29 for general admission and $44 for the “Golden Section,” the front 200 of the Center for Performance’s 800 seats. There is a $2 service charge per ticket.

Bacon estimated last year’s pageant generated $350,000 for the local economy.

A woman who was upstairs in the house was the only person home at the time, Wellik said, and she was uninjured. Scanner reports initially indicated nobody was in the home at the time of the crash.

Wellik said he didn’t talk to the driver himself, and didn’t know the exact cause. It’s possible the driver had a medical issue that led to the crash; there were no skid marks on or near the wreck.

The house’s front porch was demolished, along with landscaping damage in the front yard.

Wellik said the house is owned by Don Deppe, who also owns Don’s Town and Country Appliance, located behind the house.

Firefighters and crews from Barney’s Services worked for nearly two hours to separate the semi from house so that it could be towed away. First Avenue East was closed off between East 10th

Council approved up to $2 million dollars for the project at a June 1 meeting.

“We have put a lot of work to get to where we are today. We are fortunate enough to have a city council with a comprehensive plan as a guidance to see the need to help move construction along,” Mayor Mike Hansen said.

“What we have been facing time and time again with other contractors was that they didn’t see the market. So this was a way with our collaboration with NHDC and our other stakeholders to

Keeping Me on My Toes

Camp Randall for a day

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Oct. 6, 2015

To celebrate our eighth wedding anniversary, my husband and I took a brief trip to Madison, Wis. to take in a football game. At the time that I ordered our tickets I didn’t know Iowa would be 4-0 and have a chance against the traditionally talented Badgers.

Because it was PCM’s homecoming Friday night we didn’t take off until early Saturday morning. No matter why you are getting up, 4 a.m. is still really early. After dragging ourselves out of bed, we were off and headed to America’s Dairyland.

The trip went well because there wasn’t a whole lot of traffic, and it was mainly four-lane highways the whole way. It was interesting to see how much hillier it gets in northern Iowa and Wisconsin.

We entered Madison and

thought we could rely on signs to get us to the stadium, because there are plenty of them to get to Kinnick. We were wrong. A few Google searches later, and we were on the right track.

I had tried to scope out parking opportunities before we left, but it looked like we were just going to have to wing it. After getting relatively close to where we thought the stadium was, we picked the first reasonably priced lot and called it good.

This was not the first stadium we had traveled to, having taken in games in East Lansing and Ann Arbor a few years ago.

I was pretty excited to see what Wisconsin had to offer as I had always heard it was a great place to watch a game.

I don’t like to be a real downer, but I have to say I was a little

disappointed. The placement of the stadium among several other buildings gave no real vantage point to actually see what it looked like. After taking a trip around the outside and inside of structure, it was confusing and not very spectator friendly.

We found our seats, which were luckily right behind the families of the players, and had a great view of the game. Hoping for an exciting pre-game similar to Kinnick’s, I was shocked to see the stands fairly empty at kick-off, especially the student section, which wasn’t even half full.

Wisconsin seemed to have a lot of traditions that mean a lot to them, but really didn’t get me excited for the football game that was about to happen. When the clock did start to tick the crowd was enthused, but nothing like what I have ex-

perience elsewhere.

I don’t want to knock Wisconsin altogether. The fans were great. Even when there were a few questionable calls against their team, they didn’t take it out on us, which was refreshing from past experience, cough, cough, Michigan State.

As we were victorious, they told us all good game and good luck with the season. It was refreshing to hear and see such sportsmanship when it seems now things can often get so ugly.

That night we headed downtown for a bite to eat and took in a little of the local sights and sounds. Wisconsin is a really nice place with nice people. I look forward to going back to with my kids and maybe to take in another game.

The Crusades

Letters to the Editor

Contact IUB, voice objections to pipeline

permit; you do not have to be a landowner.

Reasons to object: Pipelines leak. On July 10, a leak of 4,200 gallons of crude oil occurred near Grantfork, Ill., much of which went into a nearby creek. Just do a web search on “pipeline leaks” and see what you find. A complete break in this pipeline for just one minute would release 13,000 gallons of crude oil. A leak of 1/1000th of the capacity would still be 18,000 gallons/day; how soon would they notice this?

Eminent domain. There are landowners in the path of this pipeline who will not take $1 million to allow an easement for it on their property; they feel that strongly about the sanctity of their land. This isn’t just farmland; in some cases it’s woodlands and streams that have been the introduction to nature for generations

of Iowans. Why should they be forced to allow a corporation to strip away the trees, bury a huge pipeline and never allow another tree to be planted there again?

Dakota Access LLC is not a public utility. We should not allow private corporations the ability to seize the use of property from Iowans without their consent.

If you feel that this pipeline could be a detriment to Iowa’s environment, or that the use of eminent domain for corporate profits makes a mockery of private land ownership, please do the one thing that might make a difference — contact the IUB at 515-725-7300 or go to its website and follow their instructions to file an objection (by mail or online) against them granting a permit for this project. Remember, it might be your property a corporation wants to abuse next time.

Dave Bangert Donnellson An important deadline is coming soon for Iowans. In November, the Iowa Utility Board will stop accepting comments on the petition by Dakota Access LLC for a permit to construct a hazardous liquid pipeline that would cut diagonally across Iowa from northwest to southeast through farmland, woodland and even near homes. It is projected to transfer 18.9 to 23.9 million gallons of highly flammable crude oil per day.

The IUB is a three member board that has the power to grant Dakota Access LLC the right to build this pipeline, and to use eminent domain to do it.

Anyone can file a comment or objection to the granting of this

At the United Nations, where nothing ever really gets done, R u s sia is calling for a worldw i d e coalition to crush t e r r o r i s t By Marc Dion groups wherever they may be found.

The timing of this ringing call to crusade is particularly odd when you consider that Pope Francis just left the United States, where his parade took him close to the United Nations building.

Used to be, popes issued the call to crusade, instead of spreading a “universal message of love.” It didn’t always work out, either.

Back then, say, prior to 1600, the Turks, who were the ISIL of their day, would invade Hungary or menace Cyprus, and the pope would call for a crusade.

Most of the time, it fell apart fast. The Venetians would be cutting a secret trade deal with the Turks, the Spanish would sail too late to be of any use, the French would be too broke and the English were just too darned far away. The Hungarians or the Cypriots were left on their own with predictable results.

And that was back when a pope could promise to forgive all your sins if you showed up in your armor and said, “Where’s the crusade?”

Sometimes, it worked. In 1571, a fleet of Christian ships drawn from Spain, a crusading order of nights and a number of Italian citystates defeated a Turkish

fleet. It slowed the Turks but didn’t stop end the conflict. It wasn’t until the 1600s that Christian European fleets would regularly defeat the Turks.

The Russians will find they have as much trouble putting together a crusade as any pope ever did, back in the armor and crucifix days.

Popes, if you want to be cynical about it, may have called so loudly for crusade because Istanbul was not very far from Rome. Russia, too, sits on the edge of the Muslim world. No matter how right-wing loony you are, you can’t seriously believe that Oklahoma is going to fall under Sharia any time soon. It is, however, a real possibility in some places that have been considered at least nominally “Russian” for the last few centuries.

Can Russia lead the new crusade? Will America join, not lead?

Can such a crusade hang together long enough to strike the blow? Who will pay? Whose money, whose blood? How long before someone begins calling the worldwide effort a path to one world government, the New Order and the end of NASCAR as Alabama knows it? How long before “Obama is kowtowing to Putin?”

Crusading is hard work. That’s why the popes got out of the business. It’s easier to speak about “love” and to wave to the crowd than it is to forge one sword out of many nations. The Russians have raised the call. Let’s see who answers.

Kiwanis honors September students

Club News Kellogg Garden Club The Kellogg Garden Club members finished its summer activities with several tours. In August the group toured the Pattee Hotel in Perry.

After an excellent lunch a tour guide showed the group exquisitely decorated rooms. Some of the room themes were Louis Armstrong, Japanese and RAGBRAI. The tour also included the hotel bowling alley and sauna.

The club toured the Botanical Gardens in Des Moines recently. Members ate lunch at the Trellis café and spent time touring the gardens inside and outside. The group also enjoyed an art exhibit

by Des Moines gardeners.

Club members continue to tend the gardens at the triangle, gazebo, library and city hall in Kellogg.

Alzheimer’s Friendly Business program addresses isolation among family caregivers Newton Daily News The Home Instead Senior Care office serving Central Iowa is launching a new campaign designed to make the community more Alzheimer’s friendly.

Through the Alzheimer’s Friendly Business program, the Home Instead Senior Care office will provide free training to local businesses to help equip employees with information and resources needed to welcome families who are caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease.

In a recent survey of Alzheimer’s caregivers, 74 percent reported they and their loved ones have become more isolated from the community as a result of the disease. Furthermore, 85 percent reported they feel a reduced quali-

ty of life due to isolation.

“For many caregivers, the unpredictable nature of the disease can make going out in public with their loved one intimidating,” Jonna Wisnieski, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Marshall, Jasper, Poweshiek, Marion and Mahaska counties said.

“Our research shows that family caregivers might be reluctant to frequent public places because of the behaviors that could be associated with the disease.”

According to Alzheimer’s Disease International, the number of people with dementia worldwide is expected to grow to a staggering 75.6 million by 2030 and 135.5 million in 2050.

“Given the statistics, most businesses that deal with the public will be serving people with

Alzheimer’s and their families,” Wisnieski said. “It’s critical that local businesses start working now to build Alzheimer’s friendly communities to better serve their customers with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.”

To complete the training, employees are asked to work through an interactive, online module available at AlzheimersFriendlyBusiness.com. Once the training is successfully completed, businesses will receive a window cling with the Alzheimer’s Friendly Business designation.

Grandson’s sleepovers alarm grandma’s friend DEAR ABBY: I have a friend whose 11-year-old grandson stays overnight with her sometimes on the weekends. She has only one bedroom, and I’m concerned because he still sleeps with her in the same bed.

I have mentioned it to her many times, and she says there is nothing wrong with it. I even purchased a nice air mattress, very easy to inflate, which she accepted but doesn’t use.

I’m upset by this situation. I know she sometimes sleeps in revealing night clothes, although I don’t know if she does when her grandson is there.

I find this sick and twisted. I am counting on you to set my friend straight and save this young boy from future turmoil. — PROTECTIVE IN WASHINGTON DEAR PROTECTIVE: There is an old French saying that approximately translates, “Evil be he who thinks evil of it.” I see nothing sick or twisted about a boy who occasionally stays with his grandma and shares her bed, particularly if that’s the way it has always been.

When he grows so big that the bed becomes too crowded for his comfort, I’m sure he’ll let Granny know. Ultimately, the boy’s parents are the ones responsible for his safety. It’s likely they know about and approve of the sleeping arrangements.

DEAR ABBY: With online dating becoming popular with older people, I have a question.

Most of us who were married for a number of years and had a good mate learned a lot about how to make life exciting and are experienced about sex. When we meet someone online and start to become involved, how and when would it be the right time to bring up the sub-

ject of sex?

For those of us in our later years, sex is usually different than when we were 35. Then there’s the subject of STDs. Can we bring that up? In rural and small towns, older women, unlike younger women, are shy about talking about sex. When we start to get serious with someone, shouldn’t we find out what they are willing to do and what they won’t? — LOOKING AHEAD IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR LOOKING AHEAD: Your letter will be of interest to anyone who has been out of the dating scene for a long time. The subject of sex should be addressed once you are comfortable with a person and there is a mutual attraction. Both people’s sexual histories should be talked about before you “do the deed.”

(If you can’t talk about it, then you shouldn’t do it.) When it does happen, insist that protection is used.

Too often people assume that because there’s snow on the roof that there isn’t fire in the furnace. News flash: Older folks can and do have active sex lives. So if you’re going to “play,” be prudent. Some seniors have been shocked to learn they were infected with an STD because they assumed their partner was safe.

4 Branstad reiterates he can’t cut

Attorney seeks ‘intoxication defense’ in shooting

Planned Parenthood funding

PLEASANT HILL — A man accused of randomly shooting at people in Pleasant Hill last year plans to argue at his trial next week that he was too intoxicated to know what he was doing. Pete Polson’s attorney, Philip Reser, filed court papers indicating he planned to present an “intoxication defense.” The papers don’t indicate whether Polson says he was intoxicated by alcohol, drugs or both. Police say the 33-year-old Polson drove around a Pleasant Hill neighborhood on Nov. 17 and fired shots at three people, wounding two of them.

DES MOINES — Gov. Terry Branstad has reiterated he does not have the legal authority to stop a Planned Parenthood affiliate in Iowa from receiving state funding, despite public calls to do so. Branstad said Monday his office has spoken with the Iowa Attorney General about the state’s options in removing taxpayer funding that Planned Parenthood of the Heartland receives for Medicaid services. He says the state would need to show Planned Parenthood has violated terms of the grant money it receives.

Children on board as man drove intoxicated

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A Marshalltown man is charged with four counts of child endangerment after authorities pulled him over while he was intoxicated Sept. 26.

Juan R. Bonilla-Barron, 40, is also charged with operating while under the influence and no valid driver’s license.

Officers stopped Bonilla-Barron Barron and he was identified in an incident that occurred a few minutes prior. He refused all tests and admitted to being intoxicated several times. He had four children ages 10, 9, 7 and 1 in the vehicle with him at the time.

He was taken to the Jasper County Jail when he was released on bond.

of the Cook Law Firm, filed a lawsuit on behalf of Iowa landowners Brent Jesse, Verdell Johnson, and Richard Lamb regarding the Texas-owned company, Dakota Access, a subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners and Phillips 66.

Dakota Access plans to use eminent domain to forcibly access Iowa landowners’ property for the 1,134mile Bakken oil pipeline. In August, both the Iowa Utilities Board and Dakota Access filed a motion to dis-

miss the lawsuit. The utility board believes their administrative agency handles eminent domain matters, not a court. The Iowa landowners and plaintiffs maintain this is a decision that should be made by a court, not an administrative agency.

If the court rules against the landowners, they will have to adhere to the Iowa Utilities Board’s eminent domain processes, including participation in the public hearings scheduled in Boone, Iowa during No-

vember, and any appeals from those hearings. If Dakota Access receives a right to use eminent domain, then the landowners believe it will affect the value of the land they refused to sell.

If the court rules in favor of the landowners, then the matter will move forward to a full hearing about whether Dakota Access has a right to use eminent domain. The hearing is set to begin at 9:30 a.m. at the Cherokee County District Court.

Iowa insurer Wellmark to sell policies on health exchange DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa’s dominant health insurer has agreed to start selling policies for 2017 that will qualify for subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, the company announced Monday.

Wellmark Blue Cross & Blue Shield has not previously participated in the Affordable Care Act’s online health-insurance marketplace, which was launched in the fall of 2013.

As a result, moderate-income Iowa residents were not able to choose Wellmark insurance if they wanted to purchase policies that qualified for new federal subsidies to help pay their premiums.

Wellmark sells more than three-quarters of all health-insurance policies that Iowa consumers purchase on their

own in lieu of coverage through an employer or government program.

Other insurers have participated in the marketplace, also known as an exchange. Three carriers are selling policies statewide for 2016.

Most other Blue Cross plans nationally have participated in their states’ exchanges, and Iowa’s governor and insurance commissioner encouraged Wellmark to do so. But Wellmark contended that the federal health care website wasn’t working well, and that the financial risks of selling there weren’t clear enough to protect

current Wellmark policy-holders from harm.

The company said Monday that the system has become established and the legality of the federal subsidies has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.

“We have said consistently that it was not a matter of ‘if ’ but ‘when’ we would join the public exchange,” Wellmark Chairman John Forsyth said in prepared statement. “As a mutual insurance company, we make decisions that are in the best interest of our members — I believe we have done that today.”

Branstad announces plan to increase skilled labor in Iowa DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds have announced an initiative to increase skilled labor in Iowa, but it’s unclear how much the plan would cost or how it would be funded.

Branstad and Reynolds said Monday the Future Branstad Ready Iowa plan aims to increase the number of Iowans with two-year and four-year degrees, as well as apprenticeships and other certifications.

Branstad and Reynolds sourced a research center at Georgetown University that says by 2025, 68 percent of jobs in Iowa will require education and training beyond high school. The new initiative seeks to have 70 percent of Iowans with that extra education and training by 2025.

Details about how much the initiative would cost were not released.

Branstad says the state has programs already working toward the goal.

Goodwill of Central Iowa announces plans for new Johnston facility, capital fund drive Newton Daily News On Sept. 22, Goodwill of Central Iowa celebrated its upcoming move to a new headquarters and training facility in Johnston, and announced the launch of its first capital campaign in 20 years.

About 100 attended the event at Goodwill’s new facility at 5355 N.W. 86th St., which is being renovated to house the agency’s corporate headquarters and training center, a new retail store and a Career Connection Center offering free walk-in employment assistance to anyone.

Goodwill plans to open the retail store there this fall, and move the rest of its operations in March 2016 from the north side of Des Moines.

Goodwill President Marlyn McKeen estimated that Goodwill clients last year generated $29.8 million for the local economy.

He added that in 2015, Goodwill has already helped to place more than 700 clients in jobs, besting its record year last year, when 565 people were placed in jobs at more than 325 companies locally.

Danielle Bell, Chair of Goodwill’s Board of Directors, announced Goodwill’s $8 million capital campaign, “Celebrating our Past ... Building Futures.” Money raised from this campaign will be used to complete the building renovations, move the headquarters and keep funding to Goodwill programs uninterrupted.

Paula Dierenfeld, mayor of

Johnston, welcomed Goodwill to the community.

“We look forward to Goodwill being here and being part of the Johnston community,” she said. “Goodwill is a great organization. We expect you’ll continue to grow and be very successful here in Johnston.”

McKeen stressed that Goodwill’s mission — to provide skills training and help people find jobs – has not changed since its founding.

“Sixty years later our mission is still the same, and this new location will allow us to continue to grow and provide services for more central Iowans,” he said.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better day,” Tim Brand, executive leader of MH4H, said.

“The weather was perfect, the racers were excited, the sponsors provided in a big way, and we had great volunteers.

Everyone really enjoyed themselves today.

“As I said in my prerace talk, this event is a way for us to give back to others who need our help. This money will

go a long ways in Haiti.

And, not only can we be light in Haiti, we can be light right in our backyard. We are all challenged to be better family members, better workers, and better community member’s right where God put us.”

All proceeds from the MH4H Color Blast 5K will be used to fund ministry purposes for MH4H, which include children’s education, spiritual development, food and farming programs, home rebuilding, medical services, and economic development opportunities.

DES MOINES — Who is your hero? Do you know someone who has performed an extraordinary act of courage or dedicated countless hours to a special cause? The American Red Cross is looking for those unheralded and unselfish citizens who have gone above and beyond in their everyday lives.

A hero from both Iowa and Nebraska will be honored before a crowd at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb., when the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Iowa Hawkeyes play the Heroes Game presented by Hy-Vee on Nov. 27. Go to www.hy-vee.com or redcross.org/HyVeeHeroes to nominate your hero today.

“There are heroes walking among us every day — the people who put others above themselves — and it is our pleasure to work with Hy-Vee, the University of Nebraska and the University of Iowa to recognize heroes from Iowa and Nebraska,” said Leslie Schaffer, Regional Executive of the American Red Cross in Iowa.

People who are nominated to be a hero must be at least 18 years of age and live, work or go to school in either Iowa or Nebraska; however, their act of heroism or good deed need not have occurred in either state.

One person from both Iowa and Nebraska will be selected to represent each state at the HyVee Heroes Game on Nov. 27. Recipients will receive four tickets to the game and have their name and hometown inscribed on the Heroes Game trophy.

Nominations will be accepted until Oct. 26.

Nomination forms and rules can be found online at www.hy-vee.com or may be picked up at local Nebraska and Iowa HyVee stores. Nominations may be filled out online or mailed to the American Red Cross Iowa Region Office, 2116 Grand Avenue, Des Moines, IA, 50312 or faxed to 515-244-8012 by midnight October 26.

By Mike Kilen It was a typical summer day in 1967. Leota Camp kissed a goodbye to her husband, Ray, as he went off to his job at the Iowa Employment Security Commission.

Like the many other stay-at-home mothers in the working-class Des Moines neighborhood on Fleming Avenue, a block east of Lower Beaver Road, she had housework to do and children to supervise.

Brenda, 3, and Kevin, 4, played in the back yard as Camp hung laundry on the line, leaving to check on her 3-month-old, Kristine, inside.

It was getting close to noon. Brenda and Kevin grew hungry and went inside to ask their mother for lunch.

What they found was a horror — one that 48 years later, still has no answers.

Their mother, Leota, was in the front bedroom, lying face down on the bed, her hands tied behind her back and legs tied together at the ankles with men’s neckties, while another was used as a gag. A knife protruded from her bloodied back.

“My brother pulled the knife out of her back,” said Brenda (Camp) Conklin, who today lives in West Des Moines.

They ran, screaming, to the neighbor, Mary Groe. “Mommy’s bleeding,” Kevin yelled. Groe soon saw Camp on the

bed and rushed out to get another neighbor, Nelle Edwards. The two women found Leota still moaning, with four stab wounds an inch apart down her spinal column, according to Des Moines Register archives. They called the police.

Little Kristine lay in the next room on a white blanket, nursing on a bottle, unharmed.

Chuck Groe was summoned by his wife to notify Ray Camp at work.

“He didn’t want to tell me,” Camp said. “He told me there had been an accident with Leota, and I should go to Broadlawns.”

Despite emergency responders’ attempts to revive her during the short ride to Broadlawns Polk County Public Hospital, Leota Camp, 25, had already died.

No apparent motive A neighbor told police of seeing a man in his 20s, about 5-foot-9 with a stocky build and wearing a white-andbrown plaid shirt and blue jeans, driving a black Ford Mustang to the street before walking in the direction of the Camps’ home, according to the Des Moines Police Department’s report.

It was a shocking crime in broad daylight.

In the months that followed, mothers in the neighborhood walked with their heads down, looking for missed evidence, while children frantically ran inside their homes when

Register Photo “It certainly would have been nice to know my mother,” said Brenda Camp at her home in West Des Moines on July 7. Brenda’s mother, Leota Camp was stabbed to death in the families home while her children, including Brenda, were outside playing on July 10, 1967.

they saw any Mustang drive down the street.

Detectives in 1967 told the Register that they were “digging hard and fast,” but there didn’t appear to be a motive.

Camp wasn’t sexually assaulted, and nothing was missing from the home.

Police would never find the man. The case went cold.

Sgt. Jason Halifax, a Des Moines police spokesman, said detectives most familiar with the case are retired or dead, although the department looked into a

tip as recently as 2008.

The memory of the murder hasn’t gone cold for neighbors or the family.

Decades of questions, pain Conklin remembers sitting on her father’s lap, hearing the news of her mother’s death and the numbness she felt at the funeral. Her father offered a reward and, for four years, consulted with police on any new developments. Finally, the family moved on and rarely talked about it.

“I was angry for a

long time, and then maybe drank more than I should. Then I figured out that wasn’t going to do anything for me or my children,” said Ray Camp, today 73 and living in Johnston. “I got over it and buried myself in my work, and tried to spend as much time as I could with the children.”

All Conklin had was stories of her mother’s life — a farm girl from Missouri who was an honor student in high school and grew up in a religious home.

“She had one of the best memories of Bible verses of anyone I knew,” Ray Camp said. “She was kind and concerned about other people, and a very loving mother with her children.”

The family never returned to the house on Fleming Avenue. Conklin still has never driven past it.

“It affected me when I got her age and had my own kids,” Conklin said. “I always felt like I should go look at the police file.”

It wasn’t until she approached her 50s that she finally got the thick file and, coincidentally, got a call from a man in Maryland who had studied the life of serial criminal James Mitchell DeBardeleben, who was sentenced to life in prison after a series of murders and other crimes and died in 2011. The police sketch of the man in the Mustang, he said, matched DeBardeleben.

Iowa growers say rain hasn’t dented their pumpkin crop WATERLOO (AP) — Some Iowa growers say heavy rains haven’t cut into their pumpkin crop.

Tammy Stotts, marketing specialist with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, said growers she has spoken with all have plenty of pumpkins. She said officials aren’t hearing “anything negative.”

“It may not be the biggest crop ever, but it looks like a good crop,” Stotts said. “I’m not foreseeing a shortage of

pumpkins.”

Rains have caused rot for pumpkin farmers elsewhere in the United States, including in Illinois, the top-producing state for pumpkins.

Deb Christopher of Rogers Market in rural Cedar Falls said the rains didn’t negatively affect their crop.

“We have sandy soil, so we love rain,” Christopher said. “Actually, the weather was perfect for us — it rained at the right times.”

Dave Meyers, who owns Heartland Farms

in Waterloo, said his pumpkin crop is “maybe a little above” average. He has gotten calls about purchases from as far away as Colorado, he said.

“We’ve been more fortunate in northeast Iowa, and I think we’re in better shape than the Upper Midwest in general,” Meyers said.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2012 ag census, there were 381 farms in Iowa growing pumpkins on 1,175 acres.

HOW WE MADE THE GYRAFOAM Now Available!

Only $19.99 plus tax

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926.

Other theories A former neighbor of the Camps has other ideas.

Carol Wuetherich lived a few houses away from the Camps and drove by the house around noon on the way to buy a new car, leaving her children with a babysitter, who told her the news when she came home.

“I think of it every day,” she said. “I think it was meant for me.”

Wuetherich, of Norwood, Minn., is convinced it was a mistake by a hit man.

“I had a gut feeling my life was in danger.

I went to a dog pound and got a German Shepherd for protection — that is how afraid I was.”

Four years ago, Wuetherich said she went to police with the story and the incriminating details, and was told instead they’d been checking people Camp went to school with. In 1967, authorities told the Des Moines Register the killer was “a kook or pervert who got scared and panicked.”

Conklin said she learned early on in her life that evil exists, and life is fleeting. She used to worry the man was hurting other people.

But what nagged at her into middle age was the mystery. She wants to know who did it.

Before her are the copies of a huge police file, that have so far told her nothing.

Aquagirl family includes managers

This & That

It’s time to give Bunker and Humphrey are in fourth year helping NCMP swim team Colfax-Mingo

By Jocelyn Sheets be with my friends,” football credit Newton Daily News Humphrey said. “The swim team is like a it deserves Mornings, after- huge family, and the

noons and evenings — Austin Bunker and Madison Humphrey are right there for the members and the coaches of the Newton/ Colfax-Mingo/Pella Aquagirls swim team.

The two Newton High seniors have been on the friends and family plan with the swim team for four years.

Bunker and Humphrey are the managers for the team, helping in any way they can as the Aquagirls post success in the pool.

Tuesday, Bunker and Humphrey travel with NCMP to Pleasant Hill for a triangular swim meet hosted

by Southeast Polk.

They both confirmed they began their fouryear stints as managers because of friends on the swim team.

“Several of my friends were on the team, and I had been coached by Coach (Sarah) Patterson since I was 5, so I thought it would be fun. I came to help Coach P out, and it took off from there,” Bunker said.

Humphrey wanted to be involved in some way as she entered high school.

“Coming in as a freshman, a lot of my friends were on the team. I’m not much Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News of a swimmer, but this Newton High seniors Austin Bunker and Madison Humphrey are in their fourth was an opportuniseason as managers of the NCMP Aquagirls. They are involved with practices and ty to be involved and meets for the high school swim team.

team members and coaches accept us as part of the family.”

Humphrey and Bunker will be recognized along with the senior swim team members Thursday at NCMP’s Senior Night. The Aquagirls host Boone in their final home meet of the season at Newton’s YMCA. “It has been an amazing journey with Austin and Madison.

Austin became a swim manager because he is a swimmer. I am sure he thought he would hang around the pool, but little did he know what he was getting himself into,” NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson said. “He’s our go-toguy for technology issues which come up.

“Madison became a manager because she had swimming friends on the team. I did try to get her to swim, but she wanted to stay on the sidelines, and we are glad she did because she is an amazing manager.”

Bunker said both Patterson and coach Chris Forsyth are fun to be around and he has had opportunities to help coach swimmers over the years. Bunker was a state qualifier for the Newton High boys’ swim team as a freshman and sophomore.

Cardinal, Mustang harriers run at Norwalk

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News NORWALK — Seven of nine runners for Newton High’s girls posted personal-best times in running the 5K races at Monday’s Norwalk Invitational cross country meet. Prairie City-Monroe had four athletes run their best races of the season in the meet.

Newton High’s Cardinal teams and PCM’s Mustangs competed in the Norwalk Invitational. In the girls’ division, Newton finished fifth

as a team with 129 points while PCM was seventh with 158 points in a field of eight teams. The Cardinal boys placed sixth with 155 points, and the Mustang boys were ninth with 219 points.

Pella won both the girls’ and boys’ division team titles with 35 points and 29 points, respectively.

Newton freshman Rachel Rhoads led all area runners in the girls’ 5K varsity race.

Rhoads ran the course in a personal-best 20 minutes, 14 seconds. Caelyn Briley and Abbie Barr, both freshmen,

were the No. 2 and No. 3 runners for the Cardinals.

Briley finished 17th overall in 21:31 and Barr had a personal-best time of 22:28 Coen for 27th.

Juniors Ellie Horn and Michaella Cope had personal-best times of 23:25 and 25:35, respectively, for 36th and 52nd for Newton. Junior Katherine Thorpe finished in 54th at 25:59.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Zach Theis, left, and freshman Adam Hunter, right, are seen here running in Newton’s home cross country meet on Sept. 22. Newton competed at Norwalk Monday.

The Norwalk race marked the return of senior Grace Coen, a three-time state qualifier, for the Newton girls. Coen, who has been sidelined with an injury, ran in her first competition of the season Monday.

“It was another beautiful night for cross country, and the girls ran phenomenal.

It is really starting to click with the girls, and it’s exciting to watch,” Newton girls’ head coach Rachelle Tipton said. “Another positive on the night was seeing Grace run, even if she didn’t finish.

She should gain confidence knowing she is physically ready, but she wisely pulled out once she felt some pain.

We’ll give it another go on Thursday.”

Tipton said Rhoads busted out in Tuesday’s race, and she was proud Rhoads finished second.

“She should definitely be gaining more confidence as she hung with Grace for a lot of the race and held on strong the last mile. Caelyn had another solid race, and Abbie and Ellie keep improving,” Tipton said. “These girls are really starting to get the hang of the 5K and are going to continue to be key players in our final meets. Michaella ran excellent and just keeps chopping time off. Katherine had a great meet back.”

PCM’s girls were paced by a freshman also as Payton Schut ran a personal-best 21:38 for 19th. Junior Jayci Vos was 26th in 22:24 followed by freshman Megan HARRIERS | 3B

The Associated Press high school football poll comes out every Monday afternoon. And it has become a weekly tradition that a few of us voters take to social media outlets to express our displeasure to how some vote.

It is not required to post your poll so no one knows who is voting for who each week, but the By Troy Hyde fact that Iowa Newton Daily City Regina News doesn’t get all Sports Writer of the Class 1A first-place votes is baffling.

How does a voter, who is expected to make intelligent decisions, not give your No. 1 vote to a program that has won five straight titles and gone 75-1 since 2010?

And the Regals have won 19 straight games since losing to 3A Solon in the 2013 opener.

Last week, Hinton received a first-place vote. This week, Hinton was joined by Dike-New Hartford and West Branch as other teams who garnered one first-place vote.

No disrespect to those three other teams, but anyone who doesn’t vote Regina as their No. 1 team should have their voting rights taken away.

The same can be said about Pella, who continues to not be the unanimous No. 1 in 3A. The rest of the classes are not as clear cut. That brings me to Colfax-Mingo, and the lack of respect the Tigerhawks are getting from voters.

The Tigerhawks are approaching history this year.

They are closing in on a toptwo seed in Class A District 7 and that will get them their first home playoff game since 2003.

They have wins over Lynnville-Sully, Belle-Plaine and Montezuma. All three of those teams have been ranked in one of the polls this year. L-S and Montezuma have seen time in the AP poll yet Colfax-Mingo still sits just outside the top 10.

I have the Tigerhawks sixth in Class A. Maybe that is too high. Maybe not. But Colfax-Mingo deserves much more respect than it is getting.

At this point, the only thing that will get them into the AP rankings would be a home win over current No. 2 BGM. That’s not impossible, but it’s a lot to ask of any team.

I personally know a lot of the voters who participate in the poll. Most of us do our due dilligence when voting.

I have tried to tell the voters that Colfax-Mingo is getting overlooked. I thought for sure the win over Montezuma would get them into the poll.

I was wrong.

I have talked to C-M coach Jeff Lietz several times about the rankings. He is more concerned with where his squad sits at the end of the year but truly believes his team should get rewarded for what it’s accomplished so far.

It could help the Tigerhawks. I imagine they’ll continue to play with a chip on their shoulders.

I just hope the voters eventually see what I see. A win over BGM in Colfax in two weeks would certainly do the trick.

Bad break, missed call allows Seattle to beat Detroit SEATTLE (AP) — The Detroit Lions fumbled away their chance at completing a drive that could turnaround the winless start to their season.

Then the officials fumbled another Monday night call in Seattle in the same end zone as the infamous “Fail Mary.”

“What can you do?

You’re not going to cry about it that’s for sure,” Detroit coach Jim Caldwell said.

Seattle safety Kam Chancellor knocked the ball free from Detroit wide receiver Calvin Johnson at the 1-yard line when it appeared the Lions (0-4) were going to take the lead, and Seattle (2-2) held on for a 13-10 win on Monday night.

Raider volleyball finishes second at Madrid tournament

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MADRID — Despite playing through injuries and lineup changes, the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter volleyball reached the championship match of the Madrid Invitational for the third straight season.

The Raiders, though, were unable to defend last year’s title when they lost to Van Meter in the title tilt. CMB went 4-1 on the day as it recorded wins over Madrid, Colfax-Mingo, Colo-NESCO and West Marshall.

CMB (10-7) started the day with a 21-6, 21-19 win over Madrid. The Raiders also swept Colfax-Mingo (21-8, 21-14) and Colo-NESCO (21-10, 21-17) in pool play before edging West Marshall in three games, rallying from behind to win 22-25, 25-19, 15-10.

In the championship match, Van Meter won 25-11, 23-25, 15-11.

“Overall, I am pleased by how this tournament turned out,” CMB Scott Ranck said.

“We (went through a lot last week), emotionally and physically, as well as needing to throw in a bevy of homecoming activities that the girls participated in. We wanted to get back into the championship game and defend last year’s title, and we did that.”

The win over Madrid in the tournament’s opener ended a four-match losing skid. Bridget Hurley returned to the lineup and finished with six kills and seven digs, while Jordynn Wesselink had four kills, was 12-for-12 in serves and had four aces. Bekah Pearson also had four kills.

Payge Jurgens had three kills and was 8-for-8 in serves.

Kathleen Baldwin added 16 assists and four digs, while Sailor Hinegardner recorded 13 digs and was 6-for-6 in serving.

Jurgens had 11 kills in the win over Colo-NESCO. Pearson added five kills, Baldwin dished out 13 assists and Hinegardner had 12 digs and was 13-for-13 in serves.

Mikayla Eslinger led the Raiders against Colfax-Mingo, a former Heart of Iowa Conference rival. Eslinger had seven kills, while Pearson had five kills, Baldwin delivered 20 assists and Hinegardner added 10 digs.

Schabilion collected nine digs, and the Raiders were 36of-41 in serves with five aces.

In the semifinals against West Marshall, Hurley, last week’s Baxter homecoming queen, and Jurgens each had seven kills, while Wesselink

Down to a dozen —

Harvick dominates in must-win race to advance in Chase DOVER, Del. (AP) — Kevin Harvick stood by his confetti-coated car and used it as a resting spot for a couple of crushed beer cans, when his crew belted out a catchy rallying cry.

“I believe that we will win! I believe that we will win! I believe that we will win!”

Believe it.

Harvick has mastered his Game 7 races, nerves steeled and never rattled from any pressure that should come in a mustwin spot.

He delivered one more time and dominated a race he had to win to advance to the second round of NASCAR’splayoffs. Mired in 15th in the standings, Harvick went out and led 355 laps Sunday at Dover International Speedway and earned the third automatic berth in the 12-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field.

“Never quit. That’s why right here, guys,” Harvick said over the radio as he took the

checkered flag.

Harvick’s title defense lives on.

Jimmie Johnson’s bid for a record-tying seventh championship came to a shocking end when a busted part sent the No. 48 Chevrolet to the garage and sent him plummeting in the standings.

NASCAR had the drama it craved Sunday when it revamped its

playoff format last season. Dale Earnhardt. Jr. earned the final transfer spot over Jamie McMurray on a tiebreaker.

Earnhardt finished third and McMurray was fourth on Sunday.

Paul Menard and Clint Bowyer also were eliminated as the Chase field was sliced from 16 to 12. Four more drivers will be eliminated in the next three-race segment

Townley wins NASCAR Truck race; Theriault is injured LAS VEGAS (AP) — John Wes Townley won the NASCAR Camping World Truck race Saturday night at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, an event marred by Austin Theriault’s head-on crash into a wall.

Townley won for the first time in the series, getting his Athenian Motorsports Chevrolet home on limited fuel after the other contenders ran out of gas or pitted to keep from running dry.

It was announced Monday Theriault has suffered a compression fracture of his lower back. Theriault was driving Brad Keselowski Racing’s Ford when he made

contact with teammate Tyler Reddick’s truck on Lap 14 and hit the wall on a part of the track not protected by a SAFER barrier.

Theriault was helped from the truck and briefly stood before sitting down.

He left in an ambulance and was airlifted to University Hospital for observation.

He was released from the hospital and traveled back to North Carolina to meet with an orthopedic specialist for further treatment.

Townley and crew chief Michael Shelton credited spotter Terry Cook for coaching Townley through

the deciding laps.

“I would have run out of gas if it hadn’t been for Terry,” Townley said. “This is amazing, awesome.”

The Georgia driver won in his 89th career start.

Timothy Peters was second, followed by Red Horse Racing teammate Ben Kennedy, John Hunter Nemechek, Brandon Jones, Daniel Hemric, Tyler Reddick, Matt Crafton and points leader Erik Jones — the last driver to finish on the lead lap. Jones has a fourpoint lead over two-time defending series champion Crafton with five races left.

Gordon and Kyle Busch.

They all had a shot at knocking out Harvick.

Now, they all have to deal down the stretch with a driver who has led 571 of 700 laps run the last two weeks. That’s bad news for the field.

Harvick brushed some stout circumstances against him to reach victory lane: He hadn’t won since going backto-back in the third and

Managers Continued from Page 1B Bunker did not swim for NHS last year, but competes in club swimming events.

Humphrey said she and Bunker come to the YMCA 15-minutes early each morning practice to place the lane ropes in the pool. Humphrey takes attendance.

For home meets, the two managers are responsible for setting up and tearing down the equipment needed for the meet including the lane ropes, speaker system and scorekeeping table.

“I make sure the water bottles are ready,” Humphrey said.

“Because I’m not a swimmer during practices, I’m doing homework a lot of the time, but if they need help with times or need something, I can get it for them.”

Bunker said he and Humphrey help keep swimmers’ times for coaches during the meet. Patterson said Bunker keeps the two coaches on track.

“I call out the split times for Coach Forsyth to write down so they have something to talk to the girls about after the meet,” Bunker said.

“Helping with times, allows the coaches to focus on the swimmers in the pool,” Humphrey said.

Patterson said Humphrey understands what it means to be an Aquagirl. Humphrey is a key member of the NHS band and a state-qualifying member of the Newton girls’ bowling team.

“We love having Madison on board,” Patterson said.

fourth races of the season and had been 0 for 29 at Dover. An easy title favorite, he finished 42nd in the Chase opener at Chicagoland and 21st at New Hampshire.

But for a driver who faced the colossal responsibility in his first Cup start of replacing Dale Earnhardt Sr., winning races isn’t much of a concern.

Harvick is simply clutch for Stewart-Haas Racing.

Harvick would love to win another championship not just for himself, but for friend and team owner Tony Stewart. Stewart announced this week he will retire from Sprint Cup racing after next season.

Johnson won championships in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2013, putting him one shy of matching Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt for most on the career list.

Gordon’s drive for a fifth championship is still alive in his final season.

“Austin is the voice of reason when Chris and I get a little crazy. Austin helps coach as well, and is really an unpaid part of our staff.”

Humphrey said even into her fourth season as manager, she does not feel comfortable giving swim advice to team members. She said she’s there cheering the girls on with the coaches.

“I wanted to do something new and different in high school, which is what high school is all about,” Humphrey said of her NCMP experience. “I’m having fun being a part of the team — the family. Coach P and Coach Forsyth have always involved Austin and I as just two other members of the team.”

“This has been a very good learning experience. Of course Coach P knows way more than I do, but being able to bring a different look at things for swimmers,” Bunker said. “It’s been kind of cool, especially since I can see myself coaching swimming sometime down the road. There’s a lot to be enjoyed about it.”

After this week’s two meets, Bunker and Humphrey have four possibly five meets with the state meet remaining in the managerial careers for NCMP. “These two have been super dependable, and we are so proud to be able to say that they are four-year managers,” Patterson said. “Overall, they have given their time selflessly and care about our swimming and diving program.They will both be greatly missed.”

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News HUXLEY — Newton High’s junior varsity football team dropped an 18-14 decision to host Ballard Monday.

The Cardinals scored twice in the first half to lead 14-12 at halftime. Ballard scored the go-ahead touchdown with less than five minutes left in the game.

Newton trailed 12-7 when Austin Reynolds hauled in a

pass from Reagan Maple. The scoring play covered 78 yards, and with Combs’ kick, the Cardinals were up 14-12.

The Cardinals had a potential scoring drive end with a fumble inside the Ballard 10yard line in the third quarter.

Jaron Roush led the Cardinals in rushing with 31 yards on seven carries. Maple went 4-of-11 passing for 95 yards.

Defensive standouts for Newton in game were Joe Bush and Lucas Montgomery.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone in your group is doing the same thing, but not everyone

can do well as long as this is the case. Diversify. Suddenly the ones who used to be your competition will become supporters.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Let go, and it all gets done.

Maybe it doesn’t come together exactly the way you wanted it to, but that might be a good thing. At some point, you have to start developing and trusting the strength of your group.

When the others in your group can’t come to a collective decision, consider whether it’s time to branch out alone. Decisive and appropriate action completed in a timely manner is what it will take to move forward.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Trying to do everything at once will only squander your energy. You have plenty now. If you place it well, it will build momentum. Place it poorly, and you won’t believe how quickly it can drain.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It would be nice to get some formal training for that interest of yours, if only for the feeling of accomplishment that

comes with checking off all the items you learned along the way and receiving a certificate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Your friends only understand what you’ve told them about yourself through your words and actions. You might consider presenting yourself differently in order to show a new side.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Good relationships can’t be forced or manufactured. They are the product of exchanges of energy that make sense for each person. Reciprocity is different for everyone.
