Daily News File PhotoRobyn Friedman of Newton won the 6K portion of last year’s “Off the Beaten Path 6K Trail Race and 3K Fun Run.” Registration is now open for this year’s race on Sept. 20.

Registration open for Krumm trail race

One of the longest on-going trail races in Jasper County is turning 10 and registration is open for this year’s run.

The 10th annual “Off the Beaten Path 6K Trail Race and 3K Fun Run” will begin at 9 a.m. on Sept. 20 at the Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve in eastern Jasper County. There are seven different categories designed for runners or walkers of all ages.

It costs $20 to register if postmarked before Sept. 5, which will also guaran-tee participants a T-shirt. People who sign-up after that date, must pay $25 and the T-shirt is not guaranteed.

Off the Beaten Path is sponsored by the Jasper County Conservation Of-fice and the Jasper County Conservation Connec-tion, which is a nonprofit group dedicated to pro-moting and supporting the county’s park system.

“This event not only brings people from all over Iowa, and beyond, to Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve, but also raises funds to help improve our parks and expand our environmental education program,” said Keri Van Zante, county conserva-tion director.

Last year’s event drew 125 runners, and Van Zante said events like Off the Beaten Path and others have helped to build a shelter house, two family-sized cook grills, an observation tower and a playground at various county parks.

“Our group is continu-ing with fundraising for multiple small projects, but we also have our sights set on building a new na-ture center in Newton,” Van Zante said.

Off the Beaten Path is one of the most consistent events for the conserva-tion office and JCCC.

“It has stayed fairly stable over the years, though in my experience, race numbers are usually

driven by weather, so we see lots of ‘week of ’ reg-istrations coming in after the weather has been pre-dicted for the day,” Van Zante said.

Van Zante also believes trail races, like Off the Beaten Path, gives par-ticipants a unique experi-ence.

“A trail race in itself is a unique experience com-pared to a road race. At Jacob Krumm Nature Pre-serve, mowed paths lead runners up hills, through timber, down into val-leys and around several bodies of water. Wild-life and prairie surround participants and creates a definite sense of serenity,” Van Zante said.

Van Zante, an avid run-ner herself, is hoping for a strong turnout and plans on being there to ensure that things go smoothly.

“I wish I could par-ticipate,” she said. “Ja-cob Krumm Nature Pre-serve is one of my very

El Loco’s Tacos opens food truck eatery

Locals driving on First Av-enue may have noticed a new food truck the past couple weeks in the parking lot of the Pit Stop Liquors store.

El Loco’s Tacos, owned and operated by Alex “Loco” Lo-pez, serves authentic Mexican dishes from his mobile restau-rant.

“We used to make tacos in Mexico so it’s like a family

tradition, my brothers and my uncles, they own restaurant chains in San Antonio,” Lopez said. “We like to make the real authentic Mexican tacos.”

Born and raised in Califor-nia with family still in Mexico, Lopez now calls Newton home with his family. He originally started his truck in Ottumwa with a lot of success. After get-ting the opportunity to open his truck in Newton, Lopez no longer has to make the drive to Ottumwa and can work closer

to home.“Since we opened the first

day, it was so busy ... I can stay here, people are friendly here, they are nice. Sometimes they don’t know what they are eat-ing, but I hope they come here and try,” Lopez said.

Lopez started cooking at an early age, learning from fam-ily and creating his own dishes. “We had been following my grandma and aunts, seeing what they are making. I have been cooking since I was a kid,

I was curious smelling the food and mixing ingredients,” Lo-pez said. “I try to have differ-ent meals that a lot of people haven’t tried. Right now, I started selling tacos ... with like pineapple, pork and season-ings.” He said his food is on the spicier side but that “the good Mexican food is spicy.”

Lopez makes all of his own tortillas and everything is pre-

Local farm families recognized as environmental leaders

Two local Iowa farm families were recognized with the Iowa Farm Environmental Leader Award during a cer-emony at the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 13. Ward Van Dyke of Reasnor and Gordon Wassenaar of Prairie City were each given the acclaimed award. Only 88 farm families across the state were given the award at the ceremony.

“It’s no secret that Iowa has a strong agri-culture industry, as our

state’s farmers provide food, biofuels and fi-ber to families in Iowa and around the world. Farmers take pride in the work they do and also take pride in conserva-tion efforts, preserving and protecting our natu-ral resources. The Farm Environmental Leader award gives us all an op-portunity to recognize their efforts as excep-tional leaders,” Gov. Ter-ry Branstad said.

Local artist Homeier

having Art Sale

Local artist Mary Homeier will be having an art sale, located in the P.J.’s Deli Annex in Newton, beginning Fri-day.

Spending her entire life in art, Ho-meier is known as an eclectic artist with an adventuresome attack on art. She works in many mediums including oil paintings, charcoal drawing and water-color paintings but is especially known for her polychrome linocuts.

Homeier was also an elementary art teacher for many years in the Newton Community School District. Along with her classroom instruction, she gave private lessons to individuals as well.

After her teaching days came to an end, Homeier worked at the State His-torical Building as well as continuing to study under prestigious artists.

Homeier was one of the few who still painted in open air, on sight, in ev-ery weather condition. Passersby could often see her with her raincoat, um-brella and sketch pad, working on her next piece.

The sale will be comprised of at least 95 pieces that Homeier has completed throughout the years in all different mediums. The sale is 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday and continues from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

DNR says campers are ready for Labor Day weekend

Most of the campsites with electricity in Iowa state parks available for reservation have been snapped up for weeks ahead of the Labor Day holi-day.

The unofficial end of the summer holiday remains one of the more popular weekends during the peak camping sea-son.

“We’ve had a good summer and I expect that to continue with our campgrounds near capacity for Labor Day week-end,” said Todd Coffelt, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources State Parks Bureau. “The weather forecast is good and fishing should be good making for a great week-end.”

The best news of the sum-mer may be that Wilson Is-land State Recreation Area, in Pottawattamie County, and Lake Darling State Park, in Washington County, recently

reopened after years of repairs and renovations. The camp-grounds at both state areas are open but not on the reservation system for 2014.

The few available sites on the reservation system will likely fill so campers making last minute plans should move quickly. Campgrounds with the most electrical sites available are Marble Beach and Pilot Knob with 11 each, Lake Wa-pello with six and Lake Keo-mah with four.

Campers looking for a campsite should check the res-ervation website frequently. Go to www.iowadnr.gov and click on the reservation link in the lower left hand corner of the homepage.

Not all campsites are re-servable: 25-50 percent of the campsites at each park are available for first come first served camping. Campers without reservations should plan to arrive early in the week to secure a site.

Lightning causes fuel spill in Des MoinesDES MOINES (AP) —

Authorities say lightning has caused a fuel spill in Des Moines.

Firefighters say lightning struck a communications tower in the area Wednesday morn-ing, damaging equipment. An underground fuel tank below the tower began pumping die-sel to an emergency generator without shutting off.

The spill triggered an alarm that alerted maintenance crews. Firefighters say about 200 gallons of fuel spilled, but it was contained and posed no threat.

Officials say the fuel will be transferred back to the origi-nal tank.

Local OpinionPage 4A Thursday, Aug. 21, 2014

After a few unsuccessful attempts in the last week, I finally got a really good look at the ice cream truck man the other day. May-be I am being extra precautious or hyper-vigilant, but I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I’ll be asked to pick him out of a photo line-up someday.

It wouldn’t surprise me if in the near future I am standing out in my front lawn being inter-viewed by a newswoman about the infamous Ice Cream Kid Murders, which is what I envi-sion the national media would dub the unfortu-nate incident. There I would be, standing on the sidewalk, wearing pajama pants with a cigarette dangling from my lips like every other slack-jawed yokel on the news.

“Well, he mostly kept to himself, but he seemed like a nice enough guy,” I would say. “It’s a shame about all those kids though.”

Christine and I enjoy taking huge walks around our tiny village. We walk around and try not to make eye contact with anyone, and when we absolutely must, issue forced hellos to fellow town inhabitants.

We were engaged in such activities re-cently when the ice cream truck man started slowly driving about 20 feet behind us.

No, not driving — creeping.I don’t know if he was trying to drum up

extra sales and mistook us for a couple of easy marks or if he was trying to intimidate me because he knows I am suspicious of him.

This whole incident was especially un-nerving because he was playing his ghastly ice cream truck melody the whole time. It was blaring out of his short-circuiting PA system.

I am not sure what song it actually was. I’ve asked a number of people and the gen-eral consensus seems to be it’s just a haunting series of tones, intermixed with a voice ran-domly crying out, “Hello!”

To me its sounds more like an eerie ca-cophony of tormented souls screaming from beyond the gates of Hades.

The ice cream truck man will sometimes spend more than an hour driving through the village, which is pretty incredible because we only have three streets.

Of course, the dogs around here hate him, too. He is essentially driving around in an enor-mous dog whistle with a lawn mower engine under the hood.

I could be a jerk and lodge a complaint against him with local government for violat-ing the noise ordinance. Or village code that forbids solicitation or peddlers within village limits; we even have signs posted about it.

Eventually, Christine and I ducked down an alley and I turned around and got a really good look at him. I was looking directly at him. He was looking directly at me. It was a goosebump-inducing stare down, but I got a really good look at the ice cream truck man.

It would do the ice cream truck man a great injustice and disservice for me to try and describe his physical appearance. Be-cause I have never known any man who sold ice cream treats from a cab of a retired mail Jeep who actually looked normal. In fact, be-ing or looking abnormal is the only prerequi-site for actually being an ice cream truck man as far as I can tell.

But this ice cream truck man looked like he was specifically bred for only one thing in life.

And that one thing is to never be allowed to sell ice cream to children.

The kids don’t seem to mind though, nor do their parents, who are quite susceptible to the predatory tactics and artificially-sweet-ened charm that he is known to employ.

The children in town are like rats and the ice cream truck man is the Pied Piper. They encircle his busted ride as the music is play-ing, shaking wads of paper money and bark-ing out orders for ice cream from Kool-Aid-stained lips.

The ice cream truck man is happy to oblige.

Deep down he knows resistance is futile.He knows that we all scream for ice cream

— just not me.

We all scream for ice cream

Trending

To say my girlfriend is a fan of Christmas would be a slight understatement. Following last year’s holiday season, our Christ-mas tree stood decorated until April — long after the final frost had melted from the window-pane.

The day we took it down was warm and balmy. To celebrate the end of what she considers the C h r i s t m a s season, we took a trip to Gray’s Lake beach in Des Moines af-ter we boxed the artificial spruce and put it in the closet. At our house there are three seasons: Springtime, the Iowa State Fair and Christmas.

As the ISF drew to a close this year, my girlfriend came home last weekend with the glorious news that the seasonal Halloween Express store near Valley West Mall had already posted its sign, and spooky decor of all kinds were being unloaded from sup-ply trucks to haunt the shelves for 2.5 months. For those unaware

of how the calender truly works, Halloween is a sub-season of Christmas time.

For all our enthusiasm sur-rounding the holiday season to come, we cannot wish the re-mainder of our summer away. Some department stores use people’s love and excitement for year-end religious or secular cel-ebrations to mask their haste to display the new holiday merchan-dise in a scheme to increase their fourth-quarter profits.

It has become a Hallmark Christmas movie mantra not to let the commercialization of the holiday season get in the way of the true meanings of celebrations observed during the upcoming months.

For Shi’a Muslims, the holiday season brings Hijra — the New Year —and Ashura — the day of mourning for Husay ibn Ali, grandson of the Prophet Mu-hammad. For Sikh’s, the holiday season is a day of mourning re-membering the 1675 execution of their ninth guru, Tegh Bahadur. For followers of Judaism, Ha-nukkah — the festival of lights commemorating the rededica-tion of the Holy Temple in Je-rusalem — is widely observed. For Christians around the world, the holiday season is a time to

worship and pray for the birth of their savior, Jesus of Nazareth.

I’ve already seen signs of the holidays popping up in the shop-ping malls and the major TV networks. Stores are clearing out their summer inventories. An employee at the Jordan Creek Town Center Younkers was in-ventorying holiday wreaths and trees near the back room as I shopped two weeks ago. ABC Family just aired a 24-hour Christmas movie marathon as to say, “Don’t forget about our 25 Days of Christmas series just around the corner.”

The coming months are a great time to listen to Bing Cros-by and Frank Sinatra, drink a warm cup of peppermint mocha and decorate the tree. But don’t forget about the true meaning of the season. Help a neighbor take pride in their home and assist in stringing a line of lights outside, buy a toy for the tots and wish a member of another faith a happy holiday for the celebration that is important to them. As the sum-mer ends and we look to the final stretch of 2014, let’s make this holiday season meaningful for all.

Goodbye state fair, hello Christmas?

Usual Eccentric

To the editor,

In regard to our car shows held this month and at the end of July, I was so disappointed. It is bad enough to have to pay an entry free when the other show does not have one, but our first place winner did not even get his photo in the paper.

One thing I need to point out also, if I read the flier correctly, only cars were to be in the show and receive trophies. Others happened to show up. We respected them and we should have been respected.

We do not get any publicity like others do and we show up and give support.

We put our pants on the same way as anyone else. But we know who butters the bread. Our guys could do without trophies and show off their cars because they love them and are proud of the blood, sweat and tears that they put into them.

In their minds, those were the good old days we knew, not who is better or not. Come on and stop nit picking. Be fair. We are better than that.

To the editor,

It is a real shame how our government (state and feds) work when it comes to the state of Iowa di-saster flooding early this spring and summer. When the state governor proclaimed that select counties ( Jasper included) were open to get aid from the state. But guess what? That aid only included local city, county and state governments to pay for roads, ditches, right of ways and other things that were damaged by the flooding. Talk about double tax to us the taxpayers, it’s bunk!

My son lost his heating system, water heater and had damage to his foundation and walls. He is on a fixed income because of his disability. Insurance is not an option as they wouldn’t cover it, and if you make too many claims they would cancel him.

Local county agencies and Salvation Army, RA-CAPP, have no funding for emergencies like this, just for food, electric bill, gas bill and health mat-ters and that’s about it. Now the federal government has declared many counties in the state eligible for funding.

I got ahold of Jasper County Emergency Man-agement and found out that only select counties are going to get funding and Jasper wasn’t one of the counties. It is a shame there are no monies used for resident’s homes who pay the taxes in this city, county, state and federal level. It only goes back to the governments. It’s not right and not helping the right people.

Where are out state senators and other leaders on this? Why aren’t they speaking out on this? Do they really care? We are outraged over this mess, for all state people.

effort between the Governor, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and Iowa De-partment of Natural Resources to recognize the efforts of Iowa’s farm-ers as environmental leaders com-mitted to healthy soils and improved water quality. It seeks to recognize the exemplary voluntary actions of farmers that improve or protect the environment and natural resources of our state while also encouraging other farmers to follow in their foot-steps by building success upon suc-cess.

This is the third year for the award program and to date more than 200 families have received rec-ognition.

“Iowa is a national leader in con-servation and water quality efforts and it is important that we recog-nize the farmers who are making a significant investment in conserva-tion efforts and serving as example in how we can continue to better care for our air, soil and water,” Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill North-

ey said.Winners were presented a cer-

tificate as well as a yard sign donated by Monsanto and a commemorative program provided by The Nature Conservancy. Hagie Manufacturing sponsored a recognition luncheon following the ceremony. Bob Quinn from WHO Radio served as the Master of Ceremony.

All winners were chosen by a se-lection group representing both con-servation and agricultural groups.

The selection group that approved the 2014 winners included Jim Gil-lespie from the Iowa Department of Agriculture & Land Stewardship, Bruce Trautman from the Iowa De-partment of Natural Resources, Jim Frederick from the Conservation Districts of Iowa, John Lawrence from Iowa State University Exten-sion and Outreach, Sean McMahon from The Nature Conservancy, Jeff Pape from the Iowa Farm Bureau, Jay Lynch from the Iowa Corn Growers Association, Jim Andrew from the Iowa Soybean Association, Pat Daufeldt from the Iowa Turkey Federation, and Dave Moody from the Iowa Pork Producers Associa-tion.

Ohio Catholic diocese discourages ice challenge

C I N C I N N A T I (AP) — A Roman Catholic diocese in southwest Ohio is dis-couraging students and staff at its schools from taking on the ice-buck-et challenge to benefit the ALS Association.

In a letter sent to its schools Tuesday, the Archdiocese of Cincin-nati’s superintendent of Catholic schools says

the ALS Association funds research involv-ing embryonic stem cells “in direct conflict with Catholic teach-ing.”

The superintendent told the schools that students and staff can still do the ice-bucket challenge, but that any funds raised should be given to other orga-nizations that combat

Lou Gehrig’s Disease without embryonic stem cell research.

The ALS Associa-tion did not immedi-ately respond to a re-quest for comment Thursday.

The association has raised $41.8 million in donations since videos of the ice-bucket stunt began appearing on the Internet July 29.

Iowa-based higher education consultants to merge

CEDAR RAP-IDS (AP) — A Cedar Rapids-based compa-ny that provides fund-raising and enrollment management services to colleges and uni-versities announced Thursday the acquisi-tion of a company that specializes in higher education consulting and research.

R u f f a l o C O D Y, founded in Cedar Rapids in 1991, is ac-quiring Noel-Levitz, which has offices in Coralville and Denver, Colorado.

The deal combines two privately held companies into an in-

tegrated provider of services designed to help colleges and uni-versities meet fund-raising and enrollment goals. The combined company will employ about 700 workers.

“Institutions are operating in an in-creasingly competitive, demanding and fluid environment while simultaneously being asked to do more with less and meet chal-lenging enrollment and fundraising ob-jectives,” said Duane Jasper, president and CEO of Ruffalo-CODY, in a state-ment. “Success in this

environment requires a new, more holistic and strategic approach. In joining forces with Noel-Levitz, we are positioned to help in-stitutions meet their goals for enrollment and fundraising — and thrive in ways they never before could.”

The two compa-nies work with about 1,800 colleges and universities providing technology, research, consulting and pro-fessional development programs, among oth-er services.

Details of the trans-action were not dis-closed.

DEAR ABBY: I am being mar-ried later this year, and I’m planning my guest list. My cousin “Emily” has five young children who I’m mak-ing an exception to invite. She lives across the country, so she’s starting to book her plane reservations.

Emily just announced that she’s being remarried and her fiance has three children he shares joint custo-dy of. Am I obligated to invite three children I have never met? This is causing a lot of grief between me and my fiance because Emily assumes that they are all welcome. Please ad-vise. — D.C. IN NYC

DEAR D.C.: Call Cousin Emily. Explain that your guest list is limited and that her five children — to whom you are related — are the exceptions. No other children have been invited to the wedding, and you would prefer to get to know her fiance’s children under less stressful circumstances.

Emily’s wrong to assume she can include anyone whose name wasn’t on her wedding invitation. The chil-dren can stay with their mother or grandparents during the time their father will be away.

DEAR ABBY: My husband pre-fers leftovers to sandwiches for his work lunch. He generally takes them in reusable plastic bowls that claim to be dishwasher and microwave safe.

After a short time, these bowls be-come terribly stained. Not only are they unsightly, but sometimes they harbor odors. Even though they have been thoroughly washed, they seem unclean. We have noticed this hap-pens more often with tomato-based food like spaghetti or barbecue.

I have tried soaking the bowls overnight in dishwashing detergent and even using a small amount of bleach, but the stains remain. Is there a way to remove the stains and odors, or must I continue to buy new bowls and throw the stained ones out? —

BOWLED OVER IN ALABAMADEAR BOWLED OVER: Ac-

cording to “Haley’s Hints,” by Gra-ham and Rosemary Haley (New American Library), if you soak the bowls and lids in cold water for five minutes or more before putting the leftovers into them, you can prevent the staining from happening. And the odors can be removed by plac-ing crumpled newspaper inside them and putting the tops on before stor-ing them. (This is also an effective way to deodorize shoes.)

DEAR ABBY: My daughter just got remarried to a man who has a 10-year-old son. I don’t know the boy at all. What is the appropriate name he should call me? My daugh-ter already has two boys from her first marriage and they, of course, call me Grandma. I don’t feel com-fortable having her new stepson call me Grandma. Any suggestions? — NAMELESS IN NEW YORK

DEAR NAMELESS: Is your heart really so closed that you would tell that boy he isn’t welcome in it? I urge you to be more accepting of this child, or you may get a name that isn’t fit for a family newspaper — and not only will the boy be using it, but also his father.

(BPT) - Contrary to what most people be-lieve about being active, it’s not only about how many times you visit your health club each week or even what you do when you’re there. Instead, you must understand how your body responds to a variety of workout in-tensities and train your body to be metabolically flexible while using fat and carbohydrates at the right times during exer-cise. Teaching your body how to use these fuels at the right times dur-ing exercise helps get the most out of your exercise program, thus work-ing smarter rather than harder.

But how do you do this? Many people use 220 minus their age to calculate maximum heart rate in beats per minute and then do not surpass this heart rate during exercise. Unfortunately, formulas such as this one and popular heart rate training guide charts you might see at most typical gyms don’t apply to most people.

That’s why Life Time — The Healthy Way of Life Company has developed a scientifi-cally supported method of monitoring inten-sity during exercise. The company’s personalized Active Metabolic As-sessment helps individu-als find their personal-ized heart rate zones and calorie burn rate within each zone.

“Completing an as-sessment such as the Active Metabolic As-sessment identifies the optimal heart rate zones where your workouts are most effective. It mea-sures key cardiovascular training markers, includ-

ing anaerobic threshold, aerobic base and VO2 max, and lets you know how many calories you burn during exercise to develop a customized cardio plan designed just for you,” says Jen Keskey, national program man-ager for assessments and devices at Life Time. “By understanding your own unique heart rate zones, you can change how your metabolism func-tions and burns fat and sugar, ultimately leading to greater results (usually in less time) — whether trying to lose weight or training for an athletic event.”

Heart rate zones are very unique, just as how an individual responds to different exercise intensi-ties is, Keskey says. “The results we see from peo-ple who have an assess-ment and train according to their own unique pro-gram prove results time after time. Not only will you see changes in how your body responds rela-tive to different exercise

intensities but you can track your progress and calorie burn over time to better manage your workout time.”

Once people know their heart rate zones, using a heart rate strap is key. However with the fitness technology indus-try saturated with heart rate monitors, straps and devices, monitoring and getting connected to your heart rate can be a daunting task.

Life Time has intro-duced a new, exclusive heart rate training sys-tem called LT Connect, which includes an LT Connect Mobile app that allows members to track heart rate zones, workouts, distance and map via GPS all while staying connected to Life Time experts whether in the club working out on a piece of cardio equip-ment or running around their neighborhood. The app syncs directly with assessments such as the Active Metabolic As-sessment so users can

train using their custom-ized heart rate train-ing plan in base, inter-val, peak and freeflow workouts. It also allows for coach-customized workouts to be uploaded based on your weekly workout schedule and your goals.

So what does all of this mean? Many, upon an initial assessment, only burn fat efficiently up to a heart rate around the top of zone three (otherwise known as Anaerobic Threshold or AT). At intensities beyond AT the activ-ity becomes too hard to fuel with fat as the main fuel source and instead the body will use mostly stored carbohydrates to complete the work.

“Heart rate training can condition the body’s ability to prefer a certain type of fuel, regardless of the total number of calo-ries burned in the work-out,” says Keskey. “Once we find your zones, the methods are fairly sim-ple.”

The Days of the A’s Part two of a three-part oral history on the Newton A’s

One of the smallest stops on the New-ton A’s schedule produced some of the team’s biggest memories.

A favorite destination of the team, the Harvest tournament became a home away from home for the A’s. Played in Westphalia, Iowa, the tournament fea-tured 16 teams and some of the best tal-ent a couple hundred bucks could buy. Every August, local town teams joined squads from larger communities, such as Omaha and Council Bluffs, for the four-weekend festival that turned the town into a bustling baseball hub.

Troy Plummer: Every year, we would play in the Westphalia tourna-ment.

Ed Johnson: That was kind of like the pinnacle of the season. We want-ed to go over there and win that.

Darin Tisdale: In those games, it just kind of mattered more. You could tell they (the A’s) were more serious and they did not want to lose the games they were playing in that and they wanted to win that tourna-ment for sure. That’s kind of what they built the whole season around.

Lowell Jacobsen: It was our World Series so-to-speak, the highlight of our season … If we won that thing, then we had a great year.

Johnson: That was always the one we really wanted to win for Swanny. It was a cool tournament and, two, you get money back.

Denny Barton: If you were to win the championship of that tourna-ment, you had to be pretty good.

Tim Mahoney: If you look on the map, it’s just north of Harlan, Iowa and the baseball field is on the west edge of town.

Tisdale: We just rolled north of I-80 and …

Barton: You went to Harlan and then you took this old two-lane highway and…

Tisdale: …drove through corn-field after cornfield after cornfield and all of a sudden, there’s this little town and a big baseball tournament.

Ryan Cooley: If you didn’t know where you were going, you weren’t finding it.

Tisdale: It was literally out, I mean, you were in the middle of no-where.

Cooley: There was nothing in that town. Nothing.

Jacobsen: First year I went out there was in 1975 and I took the thing kind of lightly. I wasn’t really sure what I

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Tony Stewart will not race Saturday night at Bris-tol Motor Speedway, the third Sprint Cup race he’s skipped since his car struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr. during a sprint car race.

Stewart’s deci-sion was announced Wednesday and Jeff Burton will once again replace him in the No. 14 Chevrolet. Burton also drove Stewart’s car at Michigan last week-end.

Stewart-Haas Racing is allowing Stew-art to take the time he needs away from the track, and the team statement indicated the three-time NASCAR champion is taking it week-by-week. Stewart will not have to de-cide on another race until the Aug. 31 event at Atlanta.

Stewart has been in seclusion since the Aug. 9 incident at an upstate New York dirt track. He has not commented since he issued a statement the day after Ward’s death.

Stewart also pulled out of the race at Wat-kins Glen, which began about 12 hours after his car hit Ward at event in Canandaigua, New York. Ward’s car had spun into a wall as he and Stewart raced for position, and the 20-year-old climbed out to confront Stewart.

Authorities said the fi rst car to pass Ward had to swerve to miss hitting the driver, who was gesturing toward the NASCAR star. The front of Stewart’s car then appeared to clear Ward, but Ward was struck by the right rear tire and hurtled through the air.

Ward died of blunt force trauma, and au-thorities are still investigating the incident. Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero has

said investigators did not have any evidence to support criminal in-tent by Stewart, but the investigation is expected to last at least another week. Povero said this week were no new up-dates.

None of Stewart’s peers has spoken to the driver since the acci-dent. But they’ve come to his defense, with six-time champion Jim-mie Johnson saying nothing he’s seen has convinced him that Ward’s death was any-thing but a tragic accident.

Kevin Harvick, a longtime friend of Stew-art’s and his teammate at SHR, also bristled at the negative portrayal of Stewart since Ward’s death.

“I’ve known Tony Stewart for a long time ... I know for sure that Tony Stewart is not going to run over somebody,” Harvick said. “I don’t think there’s anybody in this garage that would. It would be hard to fi nd some-body in the racing world that could point that car, just run somebody over.”

NASCAR last week announced a rule that prohibits drivers from exiting from a crashed or disabled vehicle — unless it is on fi re — until safety personnel arrive.

Stewart has 48 career Cup wins in 542 starts. He has one career win at Bristol, in 2001.

Burton made just his third start of the season last week. The 21-time Sprint Cup winner parted ways with Richard Childress Racing at the end of the season and is transi-tioning into an analyst for NBC. Burton won at Bristol in 2008 and has 15 top-10 fi nishes in 40 career starts.

Iowa State names Richardson starting quarterback

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State has named junior Sam Richardson its starting quarterback.

Cyclones coach Paul Rhoads said Monday that Richardson emerged as the starter over Grant Rohach.

Richardson opened 2013 as the starter. But he struggled with injuries and ineffectiveness, and Rohach started the fi nal four games for the Cyclones.

Richardson, who fi nished with 1,397 yards passing and 11 TDs last season, took advantage of the fresh start provid-ed by new coordinator Mark Mangino to reclaim the starting job.

The Cyclones, who were 3-9 in 2013, open against defending FCS champion North Dakota State on Aug. 30.

“He’s had a tremendous fall camp,” Rhoads said of Richardson. “He’s dis-played great leadership, and that cer-tainly includes poise in the pocket, where he’s been very much in control of our offense and of himself. His understanding of the scheme and decision making has really grown in the time that we’ve spent here the last two weeks. And maybe as much as anything, he’s throwing a great ball. An accurate ball. A tight ball. A catchable ball.”

Even though Richardson will open the season as the starter for the second straight year, he appeared to be behind Rohach until just a few weeks ago.

Rohach led the Cyclones to wins over Kansas and West Vir-ginia to close out 2013 — including the biggest comeback in school history to beat the Mountaineers on the road. Rohach built on that momentum in spring practice and appeared to be well ahead of Richardson following the spring game.

But Richardson said he and Mangino started to click about a week into fall camp, and Richardson started showing the form that made the coaching staff so high on him before last season.

“In the spring, it was tough to get used to how Mangino coached and what he was expecting. He’s a different kind of coach, and it took a little bit to get used to it,” Richardson said. I was “going out there with a new focus and trying to get the job. Once they noticed that I was trying to work to get there they kind of noticed that and gave me more reps.”

was getting myself into. I had no idea where Westphalia was. Come to find out, it’s a town about six miles north-west of the town I was born in. I was born in Harlan, Iowa.

Scott Kickbush: Basically, West-phalia is a church and about 15 houses and a bar, and a baseball field.

Tom Sharp: First time you get there, you’re kind of going, OK. This is dif-ferent.

Ben Blake: You felt like you were going back in time and playing a game in the early 1900s.

Kickbush: You just show up and your first impression of it is just a small town, old-time baseball park with big, wooden bleachers and a dirt infield and a big church out there. It was the que-nasential small town baseball field from years ago, but they put on a great tour-nament. For three weekends, it was just baseball teams and their fans and guys that loved the game.

Barton: The field itself was a classic.Cooley: That field has been on doc-

umentaries.Kickbush: If you look at Ken Burns’

“Nine Innings of Baseball,” Westphalia is in there.

Tisdale: I was watching it when it first came out and I was like, man, that ball park looks familiar, and I re-wound it and I was like, that’s Westphalia. It was perfect.

Sharp: They had a nice, little, short field, so you just, you can’t wait to play. Anybody can hit a ball out there.

Barton: The old timers would judge home runs by how many corn rows it would go because there was a corn-field [beyond the outfield]. They would judge home runs by, ‘Oh, I bet that was a 15-rower, or a 25-rower.’

Cooley: The grandstands were cov-ered and I always thought that was cool.

Barton: The scoreboard was an old wooden scoreboard and the kids flipped the numbers.

Johnson: Then you had a bar and you had a church. It was just great.

Doug Swanson: In right field, there’s a church, so the church steeple is up behind the fence, big, green fence, and there’s corn behind it, and there’s corn out in centerfield. There’s the fence, dugout and then probably 100 feet away is kind of like the town hall, the Klubhaus. It was the bar.

Cooley: They had a little building that sat kind off in the cornfield, just maybe 15 feet behind the fence, and there was a church right next to the bar. I always thought that was ironic.

Mahoney: When you have, within walking distance, a bar, a dugout and a church, all within 25 steps of each oth-er, it’s one of those places that you just have to go experience. You can walk right out of the bar, confess your sins and go play baseball.

The A’s annual trips to Westphalia, ex-cept for a few absent years in the mid 90s, created a love affair between the team and the townspeople.

Kickbush: We looked forward to it because it was a great atmosphere and it was a tournament, and we always wanted to win a tournament. Swanny had been going out there for so long with teams and so it was a big tourna-ment to Swanny. Swanny was really popular out there. Everybody knew him and they knew he’d been coming with teams forever.

Johnson: When we would pull up, Swanny was like a celebrity. Everybody knew him and they always pulled for the A’s. That kind of struck me right off the bat.

Tony Goetz: When Newton came to town, it was like royal class.

Johnson: I think there for a while, we were the most popular team in Westphalia. I think we were, I don’t

know, legends in our own mind over in Westphalia.

Goetz: Swanny and Jake (Lowell Jacobsen), those two guys, when I first started, would give me a dollar for be-ing the bat boy. I can’t say enough about Swanny and Jake because they were my little kid heroes.

Joe Blake: All the farmers would be there. We’d show up, and they thought we were the New York Yankees.

Goetz: Some of these guys, they kind of treated me like their little brother and I think that was the coolest thing of anything, being 10, 12 years old and have these guys come in. I’d get to wear the old Newton A’s hat and all that.

Johnson: I mean, Swanny was just, seriously, I think he’s like a legend there. That was cool.

Goetz: They were odds on favor-ites most years when they’d come. It just kind of mattered who Swanny got. We held the tournament in August, and some of these kids had to go back to school. He’d kind of have to reload with different talent. I would say the majority, 85 percent of the time when Newton A’s came to town, yeah, they were probably favored. They were at least favored in the top two.

Newton claimed five titles in 12 years through the ‘80s and ‘90s. After winning their first Harvest championship in 1983, the A’s won four in a row beginning in 1991.

In 1992, Newton won a quarterfinal game, 12-8, against the Omaha Mer-chants and pitcher Brian O’Connor, who has coached the University of Virginia baseball team to three College World Se-ries appearances since 2004. Then in the semifinals, the A’s beat the Omaha Bron-cos and starting pitcher Brad Kaufman, who went on to a seven-year minor league career that included three AAA stops.

Swanson: There were a lot of guys that played pro baseball.

Plummer: You would run into AAA guys that just got released. Professional pitchers would play in that little, bitty, small-town tournament.

Jacobsen: There was no rule that stated you couldn’t hire anybody. You could bring anybody you want.

Mahoney: None of it was illegal. You could do whatever you want.

Jacobsen: I guess that’s what made the tournament so unique is that you never knew who you were going to face and you couldn’t take anybody lightly because it may not be the same team from what they had the week before.

Mahoney: We competed heavily during the year, but we knew we were going to run into some real talent once we got to — not real talent because there was talent everywhere — but we’d run into the more elevated talent when we got to Westphalia. Other teams would go find kids that might not have played on their team all year long and then bring them in for the Westphalia tournament.

Jacobsen: One game, this game was

between us and the Souix City Saints. A guy by the name of Mike King, who had pitched in the Oakland A’s system (4th overall pick in 1980 MLB draft) … he and I squared off out there. We scored in the top of the first and were leading, 1-0. The game is going on and on and he was striking out guys, I was striking out guys. By the end of the game he had struck out 19 guys and I struck out 18 and we won, 1-0. You could talk to the folks out there, there hasn’t been too many 1-0 ball games out on that field.

Swanson: The guy that is the Vir-ginia coach, Brian O’Connor, he threw against us one year back when we were on that run. He pitched for Creigh-ton and they brought him in to throw against us.

Brian O’Connor: I didn’t pitch for them (Omaha Merchants) all summer. I guess you could say maybe that I was like a hired gun that when they went to a tournament like that, I would pitch for them.

Joe Blake: He was giving away his curveball. We told him that after the game. You could see when he was go-ing to throw his curveball and when he was going to throw his fastball. I can’t remember what it was, but we told him about it — after we pummeled him.

O’Connor: I remember that now. That was the summer between my ju-nior and senior year … I don’t remem-ber any of the names of the players, but I do remember somebody coming up to me and telling me that. I really appre-ciated that. In college baseball, nobody would tell you that because they want that advantage against you the next time they’d face you or the next year. Those are the things that guys with ex-perience that have played the game for a long time, have played minor league baseball, those are the little nuances of the game they pay attention to and they pick up and are really, really good at. Maybe that’s why I felt like they’re lineup was suffocating.

Johnson: They had, in the bracket, on one side all the Omaha teams and we’d get thrown in there and on the other side of the bracket, they’d have all the small town, local teams from that area, so like Westphalia could get in the finals or Earling, just the little towns over there.

Jeff Judkins: The late Saturday game was really what the true championship game was because it tended to have the top two teams playing one another to face off against whoever was in the

other bracket, and they were generally two of the weaker teams.

Joe Blake: They would kind of make it so one of the farm teams would get into the championship, so always that second-to-the last game was the cham-pionship game.

Plummer: What usually happened for us, it was a Saturday-Sunday deal, you’d get to the semifinals on Saturday and that’s when you play the best other large team. We’d win that and then we’d go in the bar until about two o’clock in the morning and then we’d have to peal out of there and have to play the town team for the championship on Sunday.

Judkins: There were a couple dif-ferent times where the opposing team would try to buy us enough drinks so that the next day we didn’t feel like playing, but it never seemed to affect us.

Johnson: We liked to have fun. We would go play and — it’s going to sound like we were a bunch of drunks, which kind of we were — but we’d sit there and drink beer and have fun with the people there and talk baseball and the history of the tournament and this and that. I think the people just liked that. We just wanted to have fun and talk to people and get along and play baseball. That’s what we did and I think the people liked it.

Goetz: They used to be ornery. That was good.

Mahoney: Once we won it once, it was very infectious. We got a fol-lowing of people there and the New-ton A’s were coming to town and the Omaha team we were playing against, they wanted to get more competitive. It basically built upon itself in that we expected to go win and we also expect-ed people to fight like hell to kick out butts.

Goetz: When my father coached, it was 1983. Newton had four or five on the all-tournament team — Bill Huis-man, Chris Barkus, Tommy Sharp and then of course Mark Danker, he was the MVP — he beat my father’s team that year. The final score was like 12-11. Newton was winning 12 to 7 going into the ninth. Westphalia, I believe, one guy hit a three-run homer and the next hit a solo home run, but that was the closest Westphalia got. That would be the game I would remember. My dad was mad at Swanny and Jake prob-ably for a couple years after that.

Cooley: I always thought Westpha-lia, yeah, it was great to win, but they’d have an all tournament team, so it was like going back to high school days — except there was drinking beer af-terwards, and we, oh, oh gosh, we had good times in that bar. Lots of good, good times. Just laughing, talking.

Johnson: We always seemed to find our way into a wedding reception over there, whether we were invited or not … I just remember going into some wedding receptions and trying to go in there and probably get free beer.

Mahoney: Westphalia was always, that ended up being two to three weeks of just silly fun. You literally didn’t have any care in the world. You just wanted to play baseball. As a young adult, that doesn’t happen very often. Everybody was working and everybody was trying to get started with their lives, and the fact you got to go play baseball on the weekend without a care in the world in a small town that treated you so well, it was wonderful.

Thursday, Aug. 21, 2014Page 6B

Astrograph

The solar winds will soon shift, and these are the last days of the sun’s pas-sage through playful Leo. There’s something sweet, childlike and wondrous about this time of life. No matter how experienced you may be, you’ll feel as though you are learning, innocent and impressed with all that goes on in this circus of a world.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 21). You’re not always the gregarious extrovert. There’s a pri-vate side of you, too, and you’ll feel so fulfilled as you connect with some-one who understands your depth. Next month brings a financial opportunity not to be missed, so don’t be afraid to put money behind your talent. It’s a numbers game in Novem-ber. Play often. Taurus and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 2, 24, 31 and 11.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Minor issues will cause a lot of ruckus, but this is not new — that’s why Shakespeare wrote “Much Ado About Nothing.” Your way of glossing over

the small things will serve you well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll handle your feelings well. Resistance is futile anyhow. Instead, you’ll feel fully and pro-cess the emotion until it becomes a non-emotional event and no longer has a charge.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s good to be popu-lar, but you’ll soon tire of all the extra attention and long for some time to yourself. You’ll be ready for the solitude that comes with this evening.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Good fortune comes in many forms. Some-times it’s the luck of the draw, and other times it’s the luck that happens because you put in your time and worked your head off.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your mind will be like a chatty friend whose remarks influence your viewpoint to an almost annoying degree. Quiet it down. The fewer judgments you have

the better you conduct yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll get to the point and shed light on the matter at hand, and above all, you’ll tell the truth.That’s what others need and want from you, and you’ll meet and exceed their call.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll get suggestions, and some of them will seem strange. Before you put up a fight, first agree to try something, and then try it at least twice. Trying it twice will give you a chance to feel out the pos-sibilities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your opinion is val-ued among your friends, but it’s also valued among those you don’t know. They want to understand how you think and feel. You’ll be asked to vote or take a survey.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you can focus yourself on what is truly important today, count

yourself among the mi-nority and also the highly intelligent. There are not many people who would be able to pull this off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Elevating the family name often comes with the caveat of secret-keeping. It is one thing to disagree with your family, and quite another to make that disagreement public. The pedigreed choose not to.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your world is somewhat of a political balancing act now. Should you sidle up to a power figure? You know the answer better than any. Libra will be your fortu-itous connection.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll get serious about work. If you wanted to, you could look busy like the best of the fakers. But it’s not really about creating a flurry of activ-ity; it’s about bottom-line results.
