Jasper County Freedom Rock dedication Friday in Sully

Special to the Daily News

This week, Free-dom Rock painter Raymond “Bub-ba” Sorensen II of Greenfield is finish-ing the Jasper Coun-ty Freedom Rock, the 17th of the 99 county rocks in the Free-dom Rock Tour he is painting in Iowa.

All Jasper County residents, especially veterans, are invited to the dedication of the rock at 9:30 a.m. Friday during the an-nual Sully Fourth of July celebration. All Jasper County vet-erans also are invited

to walk or ride in the 10 a.m. parade as the grand marshals of this year’s parade. Meet at the rock on the south-east corner of the square. The schedule has been set so that veterans who desire can also attend the noon dedication of the new display hon-oring veterans at the Jasper County Court-house in Newton.

The Jasper Coun-ty Freedom Rock in-cludes the east side sketch based on Sgt. William Jasper rally-ing the troops at Fort Sullivan, S.C., and is located in the Sully square.

Ty Rushing/Daily NewsHelen Grosvenor, 101, isn’t letting her age slow her down and is ready to be the grand mar-shal for Friday’s “Hometown” Fourth of July Parade in Newton. Helen said she’s been working to get her “queen wave” down pat for the occasion.

By Ty Rushing Daily New Senior Staff Writer

As America gets ready to celebrate its 238th birthday on Friday, 101-year-old Helen Gros-venor has seen more than her fair share of Fourth of July celebrations. But this year is going to be a little different.

Helen was chosen to serve as the grand marshal for Newton’s “Hometown Fourth of July Parade” and will have her daughters, Joyce Ringgenberg and Judy Aiello, by her side to serve as her “marshalettes.”

“I just thought, ‘Well, here’s one of these things I haven’t done before.’ It took 100 years to get there,” Helen said before a laugh.

Helen is extremely grateful for this opportu-nity and said she can’t wait to see community resi-dents at the parade.

Joyce said her mother received the honor af-ter their cousin, Wallace Schermerhorn, suggest-ed she nominate Helen for the duty. After Joyce filled out the application, the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce

announced on Facebook it had chosen Helen.

“I was pretty excited. I get pretty shaky thinking about it,” Helen said. “(I) just want to see the people, I guess. So many people, and I’ve never been in (the parade) before. I’ve heard a lot of people say they are coming just on my ac-count.”

With Helen still being the matriarch of the fam-ily, the significance of her selection has not been lost on her family members. Joyce said they have rela-tives coming from Omaha, South Dakota, Ames and Grinnell. One grandson is disappointed he can’t come because he’s conducting business in the Philip-pines.

Ironically, a lot of peo-ple think of the Fourth of July and fireworks synony-mously, and Helen admits she’s not much of a fan of fireworks.

“Sparklers are my favor-ite,” she said.

In preparation for her duties as grand mar-shal, Joyce and Helen sat down together as Joyce took notes on some of her mother’s favorite Indepen-dence Day memories.

One memory Helen es-timates took place when she was around 10 years old involves her hiding under the bed until the firecrackers were done. Another passage details how much she loved fam-ily gatherings at her Un-cle John Schermerhorn’s, Wallace’s father, because she got to see so many relatives.

A story from her teen-age years shows just how much change Helen has truly seen in her lifetime. Helen would often go to the former county fair-grounds, which is now Maytag Park, and watch horse races. She said some boys there would throw firecrackers at her, know-ing her fear, and that it was “not fun.”

Helen, along with her friend, Dorthy Weeks, did find a way to get revenge. She said they would vol-unteer in food pavilions at the Metz Church, and af-ter they were done serving, they’d help wash dishes and then throw the dirty dishwater at boys who tried flirting with them.

Baxter facility nominated for Governor’s Award

Baxter Health Care Enrichment Commu-nity was nominated for a 2014 Governor’s Award for Quality Care in Health Care Facilities this past June.

“The nomination is a true reflection of the sentiments of the resi-dents and their family members. The facility was commended for op-erations and services to

the residents,” BHCEC Executive Director Ron Semler said. “The bot-tom line is this: facilities that cater to the needs of their residents are most often nominated for a Governor’s Award.”

BHCEC’s nomina-tion was sent on behalf of Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds, by Dawn Fisk, of the Iowa De-partment of Inspections and Appeals.

City announces holiday closings, hours

Hurricane Arthur approaches North CarolinaRODANTHE, N.C. (AP) —

Arthur strengthened to a hurri-cane early Thursday and threat-ened to give North Carolina a glancing blow on Independence Day, prompting thousands of va-cationers and residents to leave parts of the state’s popular but flood-prone Outer Banks.

Nichole Specht, 27, and Ryan Witman, 28, had pre-loaded their Honda CRV and left Hatteras Is-land at 3:30 a.m. Thursday, beat-ing the expected traffic jam. The island was under a mandatory evacuation order for visitors and residents, with officials asking an estimated 35,000 people to leave through North Carolina Route 12, the only road on and off Hatteras.

Specht and Witman found the road wide open for their return home to Lancaster, Penn. Specht said her parents left their rental later, at 5 a.m., and also found clear sailing.

“We were just saying we were really, really lucky this year that the weather was so great, and then this,” Specht said as she ended a two-week vacation that included scouting sites for the couple’s wed-ding next year.

Forecasters expect Arthur to whip past the Outer Banks — a 200-mile string of narrow barrier islands with about 57,000 perma-nent residents — on Friday with-out making landfall but still bring-ing rain, heavy winds, storm surge and dangerous rip tides.

Before the storm hit, tourism officials had expected 250,000 people to travel to the Outer Banks for the holiday weekend. Gov. Pat McCrory warned people not to risk their safety by trying to salvage

their picnics, barbecues and pre-paid beach cottage vacations.

The National Hurricane Cen-ter predicted Arthur would swipe the North Carolina coast early Friday with winds of up to 85 mph and then be off the coast of New England later in the day, eventu-ally making landfall in Canada’s maritime provinces as a tropical storm.

Outer Banks residents and out-of-town visitors who fail to evacuate ahead of the hurricane’s expected arrival should prepare for possibly getting stuck for several days without food, water or power, National Hurricane Center fore-caster Stacy Stewart said Thurs-day.

Arthur, the first named storm of the Atlantic season, prompted a hurricane warning for much of the North Carolina coast. Tropi-cal storm warnings were in effect for coastal areas in South Caro-lina and Virginia. On the Outer Banks’ Ocracoke Island, accessible only by ferry, a voluntary evacua-tion was underway. The mandato-ry evacuation for Hatteras Island residents and visitors began at 5 a.m.

Before sunset Wednesday on Route 12, a long line of cars, trailers and recreational vehicles formed a steady stream of traffic. The road has been sliced apart twice in recent years as storms cut temporary channels from the ocean to the sound. The road is easily blocked by sand and water.

Gary Reinhardt, 63, and his wife Lori, both of Sarasota, Fla., said they planned to leave Ro-danthe early Thursday. So were nearly two dozen other fam-

ily members from California, Ne-braska and Michigan.

“I’m worried about the road. It took way too long to get here,” Gary Reinhardt said. He noted a delay of more than two hours get-ting on the island Sunday, with no storm issues. He worried their de-parture would take twice as long Thursday.

Mike Rabe of Virginia Beach, Va., planned to stay in his Outer Banks beach home the entire weekend. He and his wife, Jan, ar-rived Wednesday and set to work stowing lawn furniture and any-thing else that could be tossed about by winds. He said he’d spend Thursday helping a friend and longtime resident get his wa-ter sports shop and campground ready for bad weather.

Other areas of the Outer Banks were taking a cautious yet opti-mistic approach: No evacuations had been ordered for areas north of Hatteras, including the popular town of Kill Devil Hills, which was the site of the Wright broth-ers’ first controlled, powered air-plane flights in December 1903.

Farther north, the annual Bos-ton Pops Fourth of July concert and fireworks show was moved up a day because of potential heavy rain ahead of Hurricane Arthur. Organizers and public safety of-ficials said the celebration was rescheduled for Thursday, which appeared to be the best of two po-tential bad weather days.

On Thursday morning, Arthur was about 300 miles (480 kilome-ters) southwest of Cape Hatteras and moving north around 9 mph (15 kph) with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (130 kph).

War hero, Olympian Zamperini dies

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Louis Zamperini, an Olympic distance run-ner and World War II veteran who survived 47 days on a raft in the Pacific after his bomber crashed, then endured two years in Japanese prison camps, has died. He was 97.

Zamperini’s death was confirmed by Universal Pictures studio spokesman Michael Moses. A family statement released early Thursday said Zamperi-ni had been suffering from pneumonia.

“After a 40-day long battle for his life, he peacefully passed away in the presence of his entire family, leaving behind a legacy that has touched so many lives,” the family statement said. “His indomitable courage and fighting spirit were never more apparent than in these last days.”

Zamperini is the subject of Laura Hillenbrand’s best-selling book “Un-broken: A World War II Story of Sur-vival, Resilience, and Redemption,” which is being made into a movie di-rected by Angelina Jolie and is sched-uled for a December release.

A high school and University of Southern California track star, Zam-perini competed in the 5,000-meter run at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. He finished eighth but caught attention by running the final lap in 56 seconds.

In World War II, he was a bombar-dier on a U.S. Army Air Forces bomb-er that crashed in the Pacific Ocean during a reconnaissance mission. He and one of the other surviving crew members drifted for 47 days on a raft in shark-infested waters before being captured by Japanese forces. He spent more than two years as a prisoner of war, surviving torture.

Warrant trips up suspect in 1995 theft

CORALVILLE (AP) — An old warrant has tripped up a woman sus-pected of stealing $392 worth of items from a Coralville motel in 1995.

The Iowa City Press-Citizen says 39-year-old Tina Padavich, of Musca-tine, was detained by officers in another jurisdiction. A routine check for war-rants found one from Coralville. John-son County Jail records say Padavich remained in custody on Thursday. Her attorney didn’t immediately return a call from The Associated Press.

A Coralville police complaint from 1995 says Padavich was staying with four children at The Heartland Inn on March 10, 1995. Coralville Police Chief Barry Bedford told the Press-Citizen that hotel workers noticed the next day that a baby crib and linens were missing after Padavich checked out. The items were valued at $392.

Celebrating Steve Long

Workers told Clinton packaging plant is closing

CLINTON (AP) — Officials say more than 100 jobs will be lost with the closing of the Evergreen Packag-ing plant in Clinton.

The Clinton Herald says employ-ees were told the bad news on Tues-day. The closure is expected to occur by Sept. 1.

A news release from Evergreen says the “difficult business decision is necessary in order to improve the

position of our company in today’s challenging marketplace.” Employee Nathan Reafsnider told the newspa-per that workers were told that a ma-jor cause for the closure was pricing issues that cost the company a few big accounts.

Evergreen is based in Canton, North Carolina, and has plants or other facilities in several states and overseas.

If you have known me for any extended period of time, you would have heard me talk about a friend of mine named Papi at least once. He is one of the best dueling pia-no performers that’s on the schedule at Blue Moon Dueling Piano Bar.

I remember meeting him and thinking, ‘I could only hope to be at least half as cool as him when I get to be his age.’ It was amaz-ing that this friendship started simply from me taking some pictures.

This past weekend, my friends and I went to Blue Moon to see Papi perform, and without a doubt, he didn’t disappoint. I have taken many friends to his shows but on this particular night, everything clicked.

For the first time in a long time, I danced as Papi played, and I had the chance to be a part of the night’s enter-tainment during a bach-elorette party routine. I didn’t want to leave, but like many great nights, it came to an end.

One of the greatest lessons that Papi has taught me is to live in the moment, and re-member that you don’t have to play the game, because it’s much more fun to be the game.

As we left Blue Moon, I looked at my friends and knew from that very moment, that I had truly opened myself up by intro-ducing them to someone that is a major part of my life outside of Newton.

I thought about how an old pastor friend, Craig Peters, referred to some of the is-sues that I have gone through as “storms”. I laughed as the storms came rolling for me this week, knowing in that moment, it didn’t matter on that night because I was amongst friends. For a few hours, nothing mattered because it wasn’t about work or any other is-sues I was having at home.

I know most people will say, ‘Of course its easier when your 40 miles away,’ and on the inside, I know they’re correct.

My life will always be a mess, but now I know it’s a beautiful mess because of my family and friends. My father always reminds me that a time will come when this mess be-comes a masterpiece. I smile because I know when he says that, it’s because, to him, my brother, sisters and I are all his masterpiece because of his investment in our lives.

I have found at times, many friends like to make jokes at the random things I do —especially friend and co-worker Ty Rush-ing. A couple months ago, he gave me the nickname of “Mr. Notebook” due to many characteristics I display that are unlike your common guy’s traits, and how my writing sometime can sound like something out of the movie “The Notebook.” I will always ar-gue with him about it, but I realized being referred to as one of the most romantic nov-els and movies of our generation isn’t that bad.

I also find the nickname Ty gave me fits because of my amazing family and friends. I’m an awesome cook, because of my father, and the friends that I have cooked for agree. I love to dance because of great music and amazing dance partners that I have had through the years. I learned to love because of the example set by the great people in my life.

In the end, I know shouting out about love is just yelling into the void, but it should never stop you from yelling. It’s cli-ché, I know, but I find myself falling in love with this life like I fall asleep a little at first, but then all at once.

My crazy good wonderful life

Personally, what I know about the 1930’s is from what I’ve read, or as depicted on television or what I was taught in school; and of course, now, by what I’ve learned from the Jasper County Historical Museum.

The 1930’s House at the museum is a replica of a once-inhabited home. Every item in the house is representative of the design, manufacture and style of the 1930’s. The project was par-tially supported by a grant from the Historical Resource Devel-opment Program of the State Historical Society of Iowa. The display was designed, built and decorated by Hans Brosig, Har-old Tiedje, Herman Deaton, Robert Nelson, Bob Stanley, Pete Swank, Lyle Gatch, Myrna Guthrie, Mary Ellen Christen and Darlene Brosig. The origi-nal collectors for the 1930’s house were Roseva Rucker and Beverly Cross.

Life in the 1930’s Iowa was hard and uncertain. During the first three years of the decade, individual incomes dropped 48 percent. A fourth of Iowa workers were out of work, badly housed and clothed, and poorly fed. The remaining three quar-ters who did have jobs, clung to them with a fierce work ethic and tried to maintain “life as usual.”

In Newton, a few new houses continued to be constructed. For common folk, the new houses were very plain and built on a small scale. Furnishings were stripped down, smaller and with less embellishment for both eco-nomic and artistic reasons. For those who could afford them, grand new appliances and fur-nishings were readily available.

For the luckily employed, de-spite short money issues, life in the 1930’s in Jasper County went on almost as usual. There was a strong sense of community. Most people had faith that the bad times would pass, that America was still great and that virtue and hard work would eventually bring just rewards. Actually, this even sounds familiar today in Newton and Jasper County.

Lifestyle in the 1930’s House…the display is designed and furnished for a hypothetical couple, about 35 years old, who reside in Newton, Iowa. I am going to name them Jack and Jill so I don’t have to continue calling them ‘the couple’. They have one child who I’ll call Little Johnny; and because of the hard times, they are not considering having another child in the immediate future. Imagine Jack as one of the lucky who has regular em-ployment. He is a good, steady

employee and works six days a week. His wages have been cut twice in the last three years. Jack used to play golf and still owns a set of old clubs, but has neither the time nor the money for golf fees. I would like to know what the golf fee difference is from 1930’s to 2014; I guess that’s a little research project for me.

Jack and Jill dream of build-ing another bedroom on their house. However, the $19 month-ly house payment to the bank (a fourth of their income) is almost more than they can manage.

Jill stays at home and has plenty to do with washing, iron-ing, cleaning and cooking. She takes pride in being a good housekeeper and cook. She rais-es a large garden and cans 250 quarts of food every summer; but worries about food spoiling. Just like we’ve all seen on TV, during weekdays Jill wears cotton print house dresses and aprons; and on Sundays she wears her good blue crepe dress and black hat with small veil. Jack has a navy pin-striped suit for church, funerals and family reunions. Jack’s shirts were well ironed and stiff with boiled starch. Back to 2014…When was the last time you’ve seen a man wear a suit to a family reunion?

For entertainment, Jill plays bridge once a month with seven other ladies. When it is her turn to host, she serves dessert at card tables laid with embroidered linen cloths and set with yellow glass dishes, purchased one at a time from Hough’s Variety Store; supplemented with almost-matching free dishes from cereal boxes. I have to admit, I have and know lots of other ladies that have china and other dishes pur-chased through a program Hy-Vee had back in the 1970’s. Sort of the same concept as the dishes from cereal boxes. I’d like to see this type of program again; hint, hint!

Jack and Jill have a telephone, and this is a luxury – about their only indulgence. It is one of only two on the block and neighbors are welcome to use it. They also have a radio which is so impor-tant to them that they do not consider it a luxury. Along with 30 million other Americans, in-cluding President Roosevelt, they tune into Amos and Andy every evening from seven to seven-fif-teen. In the morning, Jill listens to serial dramas: “Can this girl from a mining town in the West find happiness as the wife of a wealthy and titled Englishman?” the announcer asks at the begin-ning of Our Gal Sunday. They hear the dying Lou Gehrig say that he is the luckiest man on earth, and listen to Edward VIII of England renounce his throne for the woman he loves. The

radio describes the Hindenburg disaster (I saw the movie…); and the ravings of Hitler are broad-cast. Kate Smith sings When the Moon Comes Over the Moun-tain; and they listen intently to H.V. Kaltenborn’s reports on the fading days of peace in Europe and are strengthened by Roos-evelt’s Fireside Chats.

They go to the movies at least once a week; tickets are a quarter and the theater is air-conditioned! Often they go on Wednesday which is Bank Night at the Capital. Once they won $15 at Bank Night which they promptly applied to their bill at Drs. Wood & Fellows.

On Saturday nights Jack and Jill go to town. First they buy the week’s groceries; then Jill goes to the Reliable Depart-ment Store to look at the hats and dresses as Jack heads for the garages to study the new cars. They meet at Roswell and have Cherry Cokes. They walk around the square once, then sit in their Model A. Ford parked in front of Woolworths and watch the crowds of people in town for Saturday night.

Sunday morning is for church and then home where Jill has a chicken ready to fry. Later they drive to her parent’s farm south of town. Gas is cheap at just 17 cents a gallon (sorry, I can’t even fathom this). They enjoy their Sunday drives, but one of the back tires is poor and Jack frets about replacing it. The relatives are discouraged about farm prices and the drought, but are pleased that the REA may soon bring electricity to their farm. Jill is saving nickels and pennies in a fruit jar to buy her mother an electric fan when electricity comes to the family farm.

Life is worrisome for Jack, Jill and Little Johnny. One never knows if the job is secure, but friends and relatives are close and supportive. Social rules and mo-rality are well defined, but some-times restrictive. Jack and Jill are not free spirits; they are respon-sible, careful persons, concerned with standards and very cautious with their lives and resources.

To me, life in the 1930’s may have been simpler in nature but made more difficult by the times. We tend to think with all of our technology, abundance of food, ease of travel and the rest of the things we take for granted in the 21st century, we’d never go back to a life like Jack and Jill. But, let’s be honest, from what you’ve just read, there are some similarities; and maybe, just maybe, some of the aspects of the 1930’s are more appealing than what we’d like to admit. Check out the display at the Jasper County Historical Museum and see if you agree.

Loebsack hosts veterans roundtable discussion

Zach Johnson/Daily NewsU.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack held a roundtable discussion with veterans at the American Legion on Wednes-day afternoon. The discussion covered many issues concerning the health and wellbeing of veterans in Iowa. “I am committed to working with my colleagues to ensure that our men and women in uniform are served by their country with the same dedication and honor with which they have served our nation,” Loebsack. “I value these discussions because they allow me to better represent Iowa’s veterans in Congress.” Loebsack will return to Newton on Friday to take part in the Fourth of July parade.

State Parks damaged by wind, floodingSpecial to the Daily News

Campers with reserva-tions in Iowa state park camp-grounds closed due to flooding or storm damage will be con-tacted by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

The following areas sus-tained storm damage:

• The lakefront campsites at Rock Creek State Park in Jas-per County are not available due to high water. Campers were moved to other sites until the water recedes.

• The campground at Dol-liver State Park in Webster County continues to be closed due to flooding. Other park fa-cilities remain open.

• George Wyth State Park in Black Hawk County will be closed likely through the week-end due to flooding.

• A portion of Wapsipinicon State Park in Jones County is closed due to flooding.

• Lake Macbride State Park in Johnson County is in the

process of restoring its electric-ity. The Coralville Reservoir is high and within inches of back flowing into Lake Macbride. If it does, it could impact the Lake Macbride beach, conces-sion and some trails.

• Most of the campsites at Fairport State Recreation Area in Muscatine County are flood-ed from the Mississippi River. The campsites not flooded are currently filled with campers. Fairport will be removed from the reservation system un-til floodwater recedes and all campsites are available. Trails at nearby Wildcat Den will likely have some damage.

• The lower road leading to the beach and boat ramp at Palisades-Kepler State Park in Linn County is closed due to flooding. The rest of the park is open.

• In Ledges State Park in Boone County, Lower Ledges Road and Canyon Drive are closed to vehicle traffic due to flooding, but the park and

campground remain open. • Mines of Spain State

Recreation Area in Dubuque County has three trails closed due to flooding — Calcite Trail, Mesquakie Trail and Cattesse Trail.

• Maquoketa Caves State Park in Jackson County is clear-ing trees from roads downed by the wind.

• Wildcat Trail, at Pine Lake State Park in Hardin County is closed due to flooding.

• Neal Smith Bike Trail in Polk County remains closed. The outflow from Saylorville Lake is expected to increase from 17,000 cubic feet per sec-ond (CFS) to 21,000 CFS later this week.

Many state parks will be cleaning and clearing downed limbs and other damage caused by Monday’s storm. For the latest information on state park closures, go to www.iow-adnr.gov/parks and click on the Closure Information link in the column on the left.

Few state parks campsites remain for last-minute reservationsSix state parks have a campsite or two with

electricity available for reservation for the up-coming holiday weekend.

Lacey-Keosauqua has two sites, Rock Creek has buddy site (two campsites adjoining that

is reserved as one), and Black Hawk, Marble beach, Pine Lake and Prairie Rose state parks each have one. Reservations must be made two days in advance. To reserve a site, go to http://iowastateparks.reserveamerica.com/.

Joyce said her favorite memory of Fourth is how her mom would always make matching dresses for her and her sister.

Back in the here and now, Helen is more than prepared for her big debut. She and Joyce have already picked out her outfit, and she’s been prac-ticing her “queen wave.”

“There are so many people that have thought she looked like the queen, so they said, ‘Do the queen wave. Practice your queen wave,’” Joyce joked.

As one of the most senior residents in Newton, Helen has a single reason that she credits for her longevity and ability to experience what will now be her 101st Fourth of July — her faith.

“I always say that God is the one that keeps me here. It’s all in his hands,” she said.

ALLEY OOP

DEAR ABBY: I am a gay man who has had a difficult, distant relation-ship with my only brother, “Bill.” He has made many nasty, homophobic re-marks, and my partner, “Jon,” has been excluded from many family gatherings. Because Jon wasn’t welcomed I also did not attend those gatherings, and I en-dured further wrath because I didn’t.

Bill’s daughter has just announced that she is a lesbian. His reaction is mys-tifying. He has embraced her and her partner and has lovingly included them into the heart of the family.

I am happy that my niece has found love and support. I am also jealous that she has a better father than I did a brother. Are my feelings justified? — SAD SIBLING IN VIRGINIA

DEAR SAD SIBLING: Of course your feelings are justified. You are hu-man, and your skin isn’t made of Teflon. It’s sad that your brother couldn’t have treated you and Jon with more compas-sion and understanding.

I find it interesting how people’s perspective can radically change when a child of theirs is involved. Now let’s see if your brother’s attitude toward you changes, and how forgiving you and your partner can be if it does.

DEAR ABBY: I bought a friend a gift recently. Her response? “You should have just given me the money because I really need it.” A few years ago, I was going to buy another friend an expen-sive pair of shoes and she convinced me not to because she said she could buy 10 pairs from a discount store for the amount I was planning to spend.

I love giving gifts during the holidays and for birthdays, and enjoy choosing things I think my friends might like or need. I hate giving money! Isn’t part of the gift-giving experience for the giver, too?

I feel it should be my choice to buy whatever I want for someone, and their response should just be, “Thank you.” It irks me when people dictate to me what

I should give them. Am I just being a control freak, or do I have the wrong idea of gift-giving? — GIFT GIVER IN TEXAS

DEAR GIFT GIVER: A thought-ful gift giver selects things the recipient can use and enjoy. A grateful recipient doesn’t look a gift horse in the mouth and say she’d prefer the cash.

However, the woman who convinced you not to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of designer shoes she might not be able to return was, I think, doing both of you a favor. While it’s your prerogative to give whatever you want to whomever you want, don’t you think it makes more sense to bestow something the person can use and enjoy than to satisfy your ego?

DEAR ABBY: Can you settle a dis-pute for me? When you go up to a house with two doors — a regular door and a screen door — and there is no doorbell, is it proper to open the first door and knock on the second door or is it con-sidered rude? — KNOCK, KNOCK

DEAR KNOCK, KNOCK: Be-cause in the absence of a doorbell the only way you can make your presence known would be to knock, open the screen door and knock. Then step back and close the screen door so you’re not intruding on the space of the person who answers it.

Dedication Ceremony for the NewVeteran’s Memorial Complex

Friday, July 4th, 2014 • 12:00pm

The memorials will be unveiled just prior to the ceremony. Veteran’s organizations throughout the county will participate along with the seven members of the Memorial committee. Attendees are

encouraged to gather on the east lawn of the courthouse following the parade. Seating will be very limited so you may want to bring a lawn

chair if you have trouble standing over twenty minutes. The ceremony will take approximately thirty minutes total. The memorials will then be open to the public for viewing and photos. Committee members will be on hand to help identify brick locations. The committee is in the final stages of completion on the memorials. Many thanks to all citizens and businesses who have donated to this cause. The entire complex was paid for through private funding. Most importantly,

thanks to those both past and present who have served in our armed forces. There will be 98 names highlighted in red that made the

ultimate sacrifice on our behalf. That, in itself, will be an everlasting reminder that Freedom is not free.

Grill safely this Fourth of July

Summer is officially here, and the Fourth of July holiday is upon us. Cooking outdoors can be a healthy summer activity shared with family and friends.

However, it’s impor-tant to follow food safety guidelines to prevent harmful bacteria from multiplying and causing foodborne illness.

Use these simple guidelines for grilling food safely.

From the Store: Home First

When shopping for foods to grill, buy cold food such as meat and poultry last, right before checking out. Keep raw meat and poultry sepa-rate from other food in your shopping cart. Plan to drive directly home

from the grocery store. You may also want to take a cooler with ice for perishables. Be sure to refrigerate perishable food within two hours. Refrigerate within one hour if temperatures are above 90 degrees out-side. Freeze poultry and ground meat that won’t be used in one or two days; freeze other meat within four or five days.

Safely Thaw and Marinate MeatCompletely thaw

meat and poultry before grilling so it cooks more evenly. Use the refrigera-tor for slow, safe thawing, or for quicker thawing, you can use the micro-wave defrost function if the food will be placed immediately on the grill. Avoid thawing foods on the counter or by the grill.

A marinade is a savory, acidic sauce in which a

food is soaked to enrich its flavor or to tender-ize it. Marinate food in the refrigerator, not on the counter. Poultry and cubed meat/stew meat can be marinated up to two days. Beef, veal and pork may be marinated up to five days. If some of the marinade is to be used as a sauce on the cooked food, reserve a portion of the marinade before putting raw meat and poultry in it. Be sure to boil any of the leftover marinade before reusing it to season cooked meat.

Start CleanScrub grill with hot,

soapy water before each use. Wash your hands before, during and after food preparation. This is especially important after handling raw meat. Use separate cutting boards, plates and grilling uten-sils when handling raw meat and ready-to- eat

foods.Cook Foods RightThe only reliable way

to ensure meat is safe and ready to eat is to use a meat thermometer. Use this internal temperature guide to ensure safety:

Steak: 145 degreesHamburgers: 160 de-

greesChicken: 165 degrees

Serving the Food and Leftovers

Put all dishes in the refrigerator within two hours, and in hot weath-er (90 degrees or higher), this time is reduced to one hour. Leftover grilled foods have a refrigerator life of three to four days. If not used within this time period, throw it out. Reheat leftovers to an in-ternal temperature of 165 degrees before serving it a second time.

Be Food Safe and Have a Happy and Healthy Fourth of July.

Iowa psychologist publishes study about metabolismA Grinnell psychologist and

bariatric counselor has published a study that may change the way we all look at weight manage-ment, and help those who struggle with weight issues develop realistic goals.

Dr. Brandon Davis recently published a pilot study in the Ar-chives of Medical and Biomedical Research that focuses on a new way to look at metabolism, which the study calls the “Metabolic Factor.”

Metabolic Factor is found by determining how many calories a person burns per day at rest, or their resting metabolic rate, and dividing that number by their weight. The resting metabolic rate is measured with an FDA-approved machine that measures how much oxygen a person uses and how much carbon dioxide they exhale.

“We all know people who can

eat nearly anything and seemingly not gain weight, while some people have controlled intake for years and struggle with weight issues,” Davis said. “This study is helping confirm that some people do indeed have fast or slow metabolisms.”

Davis said because Metabolic Factor does not change, when one loses weight, their caloric intake needs to continue to drop to lose or even maintain weight, because there are fewer pounds burning calories. For a psychologist who counsels patients who struggle with weight issues, the information is very important.

“I believe in taking the shame out of obesity issues,” Davis said. “And I also believe in helping peo-ple be happy with a healthy weight that they can realistically main-tain. If I can show somebody with a Metabolic Factor of 8 that they

could only eat 880 calories in order to maintain a 110 pound weight, it goes a long way toward more real-istic goals and acceptance of their own body”

In addition to Metabolic Factor, Davis provides patients with infor-mation such as the suggested num-ber of daily calories for weight loss and other data useful in creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

“Common sense, a sustainable plan and an approach that recog-nizes there is no guilt or shame is how I approach weight man-agement,” he said. “People can be healthier and happy at the same time.”

Todd Rausch threw a strike from the pitch-er’s mound Wednesday night much like he did some 20 years ago.

Rausch, a 1992 grad-uate of Newton High School, became the 23rd inductee of the school’s baseball hall of fame, prior to the Cardinals’ game against Oskaloosa. The John-ston resident threw a ceremonial first pitch and was honored with a brief ceremony high-lighting his achieve-ments on the diamond.

“This is great. This is awesome that they do it,” he said. “It’s defi-nitely an honor.”

Rausch pitched as a freshman for Oskaloosa before his family moved to Newton prior to his sophomore season. “It’s kind of ironic they’re playing them tonight,” he said and smiled.

Rausch played pri-marily in center field with the Cardinals from 1990-92. He bat-ted .326 for his career, hitting 18 doubles, four triples and five home runs. He proved a tough out at the plate, striking out only 21 times in 75 games in a Newton uni-form.

He continued play-ing in college and ex-celled at St. Ambrose University. Rausch was a two-time first team All-Conference out-fielder in 1995 and 1996 as well as a NAIA All Region outfielder and honorable mention All-American in 1995.

St. Ambrose ad-vanced to the NAIA College World Series his sophomore and se-nior seasons. The Bees

came up short of the title both times, finish-ing third in 1994 and second in 1996.

“The ‘96 team re-ally stands out because we were runner-up that year,” Rausch said. “That was pretty cool. Had a real good team. Season started out kind of slow, but I think we won a string of 24 or 26, games and we didn’t lose. We had real good team. It was a good time.”

Rausch’s play-ing career continued throughout high school and into college despite having surgery to repair torn ligaments in his throwing elbow follow-ing his freshman year of high school. The op-eration didn’t deter him

from getting back on the field.

“It never really struck me I wouldn’t play again,” he said. “I was out throwing the ball around about a month after I got the cast off.”

Most recently, Rausch has spent the last eight years working for Wells Fargo. He and his wife, Renae, have three kids, Tristan, 16, Devon, 14, and Katie, 13.

He said coming back to Newton, where his parents still live, brought back some memories.

“It’s nice they do this hall of fame thing,” Rausch said. “There’s memories. You see peo-ple you haven’t seen in a while and that’s cool.”

Rausch inducted into Newton baseball hall of fame

Ben Schuff/Daily NewsFormer Newton High School baseball player Todd Rausch gets high-fives from current players as he walks onto the field for his hall-of-fame induction ceremony Wednesday night.

For the second night in a row, Newton received one of its pitcher’s best starts of the season.

Unlike Tuesday, the Cardinals couldn’t convert that performance into a win Wednesday night against Oskaloosa.

Newton starting pitcher Chandler Sturtz’s five solid innings soured in the sixth when back-to-back errors altered the course of the game. Those miscues by the Cardinals helped the visiting Indians score the winning run in what became a 3-2 victory at Eversman Field.

A one-out error by Newton left fielder Brandon Tish kick started Oskaloosa’s sixth and allowed TJ Boyle to advance to second base on a single. Andrew Landgrebe, who pinch-ran for Boyle, scored shortly thereafter following an error by Newton shortstop Tyler Wood.

The sequence proved costly for the Cardinals, and Sturtz in particular. After delivering the game-winning hit against Dallas Center-Grimes Tuesday night, Sturtz pitched six innings against Oskaloosa for his second-longest outing of the season. The right hander did so without issuing any walks and retiring the side four times.

Sturtz breezed through the early innings. He sat down nine of the first 10 batters he faced and worked around a first-inning error by second base-man Mike McCormick.

Both teams found their offense in the fourth in-ning. Oskaloosa took a 2-0 lead thanks to four hits in the top half, although neither of the Indians’ runs came off hits. Nick Rutledge scored the game’s first run when he stole home and Mitchell Schaffner later crossed home plate on a passed ball.

Late-inning errors derail Newton in loss to OskaloosaBy Ben Schuff

Cardinal bats silenced again

The Cardinals have likely seen all they’ve wanted of Oskaloosa pitcher Kylee Silliman.

The sophomore sty-mied Newton Wednes-day night for the sec-ond time this season and helped the Class 4A eighth-ranked In-dians to a 10-0 victory.

Silliman limited the Cardinals to only two hits without issuing a walk. After a one-out single from Newton’s Lizzie Stock in the third inning, Silliman retired the next 10 bat-ters she faced and 14 of the final 15. Sydney Jenkins was the only Cardinal to reach base during that span, doing so in the sixth inning on an error by Indian second baseman Alexis Westercamp.

The Cardinals’ best chance of scoring came in the second inning when they had runners on first and second with two outs. Fran Lucas grounded out to second to end that threat.

In 13 appearances this season, Silliman has allowed two hits or fewer four times. Two of those performanc-es have been against Newton. She threw a

no-hitter against the Cardinals and struck out 12 on June 16.

Newton (6-21) did little to help its own cause defensively Wednesday, commit-ting five errors.

The Indians scored in every inning but the second and knocked out 14 hits against Car-dinals pitcher Ashton Hoffman.

Callie Arnold and Silliman both con-tributed three hits for the Indians (26-3) and

Aubrey Miller added a seventh-inning, two-run homer.

Wednesday’s loss marked the second time this season the Cardinals have been shutout in consecutive games. Class 4A No. 1 Dallas Center-Grimes held Newton scoreless in a doubleheader June 11.

Newton wraps up play before the Fourth of July holiday with a doubleheader tonight at Grinnell.

Heart of Iowa con-ference foes Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Colfax-Mingo split a doubleheader Wednes-day night. CMB won the opener, 8-3, before Colfax-Mingo took the night cap, 12-5.

The Tigerhawks jumped out to a 3-0, third-inning lead in the first game. Colfax-Mingo scored twice in the first thanks in part to four walks and a sac-rifice fly. Rylee Thomp-son drove in the team’s third run in the third with a single to center field.

CMB roared back in the fourth by scoring five runs in the inning. Mikayla Eslinger tied the game at 3-all with a bases-loaded double. Three batters later, Av-ery Hlavacek singled home two more runs to give the Raiders a lead they wouldn’t relin-quish.

CMB added one run in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings — Payge Jurgens led off hte seventh with a solo home run, her first of two on the night — for the final score. The Raiders totaled 14 hits in the opener, including five doubles.

The Tigerhawks avoided a sweep in the night cap by erasing a 5-2 lead in the final in-nings. Colfax-Mingo scored seven times in the top of the seventh to earn a 12-5 win.

The Tigerhawks scored five runs in the seventh and led 10-5 before CMB recorded its first out in the in-ning. Senior Jade Lewis broke a 5-all tie with an RBI double that scored Brooke Nich-olson to start Colfax-Mingo’s scoring in the inning. The next three Tigerhawks all reached base, capped by a run-producing double from Amy Russell.

Russell had four hits,

including three doubles, in the win. Nicholson added three hits as Col-fax-Mingo totaled 16 as a team.

Mackenzie Garrett earned the win in the circle for the Tiger-hawks. Garrett pitched three innings in relief of starter Ries Wilson and gave up only one hit, a single to Hlavacek in the fifth.PCM wins fifth in a row

MONROE — Ka-tie VandeWall’s three-run home run in the fifth inning gave Prairie City-Monroe an 11-0, run-rule shortened vic-tory Wednesday night.

Newton tied the game in the bottom half of the fourth. Sturtz scored following a single from senior Evan Shimon. Three batters later, Derek Wrage drove in pinch-runner Connor Gholson on a ground out to second.

That was it for the Cardinals offensively against Rutledge, the Indians’ pitcher. Rutledge benefitted from two double plays in the final innings, one to end the fifth and one to end the game. Both oc-curred with a Newton runner on second base.

Rutledge finished his complete-game perfor-mance having allowed four hits. Sturtz gave up five in defeat.

Tyler Wood had two hits for the Cardinals. It was his third multi-hit showing in Newton’s last four games.

PRAIRIE CITY — Prairie City-Mon-roe stayed on the positive side of .500 with a 3-1 win over Gladbrook-Reinbeck Wednes-day night.

Sophomore pitcher Austin Brown pitched a complete game and struck out 10 to earn his sixth win of the season on the mound. It was his third straight start in which he al-lowed only one earned run.

Brown also drove in a run with a double in the win.

The Mustangs totaled six hits and scored one run each in the first, second and fourth innings.

Chase Kuening had two of his team’s six hits. Sophomore Clay Cooper contributed an RBI double and senior Zach Uhlenhopp also drove in one run.

PCM (11-10) has won four of its last six games.

3-for-5 with a double and a triple and Ca-leb James added three hits and two RBI in Lynnville-Sully’s 11-4 victory over English Valleys Wednesday night.

The Hawks scored five runs in the first inning and never looked back against the Bears. When English Valley trimmed Lyn-nville-Sully’s lead to 5-3 in the top of the third inning, the Hawks answered by scor-ing three of their own in the bottom half of the third.

Senior Daniel Zimmerman threw his first complete game of the season for Lynnville-Sully. Zimmerman gave up five hits, walked four and struckout three.

Lynnville-Sully also won Tuesday night, 10-8, over visiting HLV. The Hawks came from behind by scoring all of their runs in the final three innings and erased HLV’s 6-0 lead.

Zimmerman went 3-for-3 against HLV and Payton Scandridge finished 2-for-4 with two RBI. TJ Cunningham also added a solo home run.

Lynnville-Sully is 10-8 overall and 8-8 in conference games this season.

Astrograph

These days, “trigger warnings” are used to alert sensitive souls to potentially depressing or unsettling media content. Some appreciate the heads up, and others suggest it indicates a dumbing down of society. The sensible Virgo moon encourages keen awareness and a strong inner guidance that will render such labels unnecessary.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 3). So attractive, you will be cherished and pursued throughout the year. Enjoying extreme talent will aggravate something in you: a desire to pursue your own talents with more zeal. Next month your soaring ambitions will be matched only by your ability to realize them. September and November are the most lucrative. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 2, 25, 41 and 16.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t want to be mildly happy with your work; you want to be enthusiastic about it. Therefore, adjustments

will be made. What is it that’s keeping you from the higher levels of joy?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Implement yesterday’s plans, and you’ll bump up your productivity consid-erably. Still, at the end of the day, it will be about how much you loved, not how much you did.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Boasting, posturing, name-dropping and the like usually turn you off — but not today. You’ll be pulled in. Maybe it’s because you’re flattered that people feel they need to work so hard to impress you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Like a seasoned jazz artist or comedian, you’ll do your best work when you’re riffing. You’ll play around in a loose mix of random thoughts and wind up with some bril-liant order.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re wary of those who wear their trendy pet causes like the latest designer shoes, though you’re quite interested

in the person with an unusual and very personal quest.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If your actions reflect reality and not the idealized self-image you want them to reflect, you can count yourself among the multitudes. Dealing in reality is the only way to get closer to the person you want to be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The pressure is definitely on, but it will only last for a moment. Then, win or lose, it will be over, and you’ll be free to recharge so you can try again tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You understand that not everyone shares your moral code, but what worries you is the way it’s so casually bent and broken by people who claim to uphold it. Forget the words; pay attention to people’s deeds today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Because you really know and cater to your audience, your way of expressing your ideas will

be appealing and effec-tive. You’ll be lucky as you help those who are new to the process and therefore clueless.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your charming pre-sentation comes from an intuition you have about the people you’re among. You want to delight them. You know something good will develop out of the connection you make.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be walking an ethical line as to how much to participate in gossip. Even just hear-ing it might be too much. Anyway, there won’t be a shortage of juicy stories today, most served up with a side pf Schaden-freude.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You normally don’t worry yourself about what others think of you, but in today’s situation, a stellar impression will make the difference between win-ning and losing. Ask for feedback.
