Newton Daily NewsTRANSCRIPT
A Newton child care provider has pleaded guilty to child endanger-m e n t a n d w a s s e n -tenced to two years of proba-tion.
Sara L. Ste-panek, 54, was charged March 7, 2013 after a 10-month-old infant Stepanek was babysitting suffered acute subdural and reti-nal hemorrhaging after she allegedly dropped him.
Stepanek was initially charged with child en-dangerment causing seri-ous injury, a Class C fel-ony. She pleaded to child endangerment, an aggra-vated misdemeanor.
According to court documents, Stepanek notified the child’s mother of a medical issue
about an hour after his mother left him in her care.
His mother took him to Skiff Medical Center and he was later flown by helicopter to Blank Chil-dren’s Hospital in Des Moines where he was di-agnosed.
In addition to the two years of probation, Ste-panek was ordered to pay $660 in restitution and a $625 fine.

NFD promotes awareness
Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News“If you see the Fire Department in October, we’re going to be in pink,” said Rick Norrish, firefighter and paramedic. The Newton Fire Department will wear pink for the month of October to promote breast cancer aware-ness. They are also making a donation to the Pink Ribbon Support Group of Jasper County. “We wanted to do something locally,” Norrish said.
Ty Rushing/Daily NewsAttorney Christy Hickman, right, spoke Wednesday on behalf of the Iowa State Education Association — which represents more than 36,000 teachers in the state — to oppose a rule change by the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners that would change requirements to be a special education teacher in the state.

Special education reform met with strong opposition
DES MOINES — One size doesn’t fit all is the argument Iowa educators and educational advocates are making to a pro-posal from the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners to change the way special educa-tion teachers are certified in the state.
“Everyone present here to-day can agree that more special educators are necessary, but as you can see from the number of special educators and parents in attendance, there are some con-cerns to the proposed solution to this problem,” said Michael Couvillon, a Drake University professor who spoke on behalf of the school’s education depart-ment.
Couvillion’s comments were made during a public hearing Wednesday held by IBBE that contained a standing room only crowd.
The board of examiners is proposing a singular K-12 spe-cial education license in the
state. Currently, Iowa teachers can teach special education un-der a strategist I certification, which covers K-8 students, or a strategist II certification, which covers 5-12 students.
This proposed change would not only affect potential special education teachers, but it also wouldn’t grandfather in practic-ing special education teachers in the state. Instead, once those teachers current certifications expire, they would be required to take additional courses to fall in line with the new standards.
IBEE’s plan also doesn’t spec-ify if the state, school districts or if the teachers themselves would have to pay for the courses to earn the new certification.
Representatives from Drake weren’t the only ones to blast the proposal — education de-partment heads from Iowa State University, the University of Northern Iowa, Central Col-lege, Grand View University, Simpson College and Buena Vista University also spoke out on the measure.
Carl Smith, ISU’s associ-
ate director of administration, said his school currently has 50 full-time faculty members and a number of adjuncts under employment, but this proposal would force them to hire more staff. He said this would be fi-nancially difficult for an institu-tion as large as ISU, and that it could be crippling to the state’s smaller colleges and universities.
“We understand the proposed change is an intent to address the hiring difficulty by school administrators due to the spe-cial ed teacher shortage across Iowa; however, hiring relief for districts through a single special education credential should not overshadow the unique need of students being served,” said Jen-nifer Ulie-Wells, who serves as Grand View University’s only special education professor.
“The increase in coursework places a heavy burden on col-leges and universities, particu-larly small universities like ours. We have one person, that’s me,

School board elects new leaders
After two years at the helm, Andy Elbert turned over his gavel to Sheri Benson, who will now serve as the president of the New-ton Community School District Board of Edu-cation.
Benson was elected to the position in a unanimous decision by the board after she was nominated by board member Donna Cook.
Bill Perrenoud was elected as board vice-
president, the position Benson previously held, over Robyn Friedman in an anonymous vote.
Before the election took place, the board handled a bit of business in its previous incarna-tion and voted on the four measures it feels the Iowa School Board As-sociation should make its legislative priori-ties with the Iowa State Legislature.

Park Board discusses future plans for
Westwood clubhouse
The future of the clubhouse at Westwood Golf Course was heavily discussed at Newton’s Park Board meeting on Wednesday at the New-ton Arboretum. Options ranged from improving what is there to building a completely new struc-ture.
The current club-house, 3387 Highway F-48 W., was built in the 1920s with additions put on in the 1960s,
1980s and early 1990s. In its current condition, there are many issues that would need to be addressed.
“Where the new bathrooms are con-joined onto the old building, there’s plenty of water that comes through there on re-ally hard rains as well as when the snow melts in the spring,” Brad Spon-seller, golf pro at West-wood Golf Course said.

Local Health
Your lifestyle may affect how well your immune system protects you from germs, vi-ruses and chronic illness. Good nutrition can be essential to a strong immune system. This is important, as a healthy immune system may offer protection from seasonal illnesses such as colds and flu, as well as other health problems including al-lergies, arthritis, abnormal cell development and cancer.
Be proactive and protect
yourself against infection. Boost your immunity by try-ing these nutrients and healthy habit suggestions.
1. Protein is a part of the body’s defense mechanism. In-clude a variety of protein foods in your diet, including lean meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, beans and peas, soy products and unsalted nuts and seeds.
2. Vitamin A is important as a regulator of the immune system and protects you from infections. This vitamin helps keep your skin and tissues in your mouth, stomach, intes-tines and respiratory system
healthy.Good sources of vitamin A
include sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, spinach, red bell peppers, apricots, eggs and foods labeled vitamin-A fortified (milk and cereal).
3. Vitamin C helps protect you from infection as it stimu-lates the formation of antibod-ies and boosts immunity. This vitamin can be found in citrus fruits such as oranges, grape-fruit and tangerines, red bell peppers, papaya, strawberries, tomato juice, or foods fortified with vitamin C (some cereals).
4. Vitamin E works as an
antioxidant – neutralizing free radicals and may improve im-mune function. Fortified cere-als, sunflower seeds, almonds, hazelnuts, vegetable oils (such as sunflower and safflower oils), peanut butter and spinach are good sources of this vitamin.
5. Zinc has been found to be helpful in proper immune func-tion and may also help wounds heal. Zinc can be found in lean meat, poultry, seafood, milk, whole grain products, nuts and beans.
Other nutrients such as vi-tamin B6, folate, selenium and iron along with prebiotics and
probiotics may also have a posi-tive influence on your immune response.
Regular physical activity, such as a daily 30-minute walk, may also help your immune sys-tem fight infections. This regu-lar physical activity may help you sleep better, and adequate sleep may be yet another factor in a strong immune system.
Replacing unhealthy hab-its with healthy ones can help keep your immune system healthy. Now is the time to get ahead of the game and work to be as healthy as possible as we head into Fall and flu season.

Clues to how people bounce back from surgeryWASHINGTON (AP) — One of the big frustra-
tions of surgery: There’s little way to know if you’ll be a fast or slow healer, someone who feels back to normal in a week or is out of work for a month with lingering pain and fatigue.
Now Stanford University researchers have discov-ered that right after surgery, patients’ blood harbors clues about how fast they’ll bounce back — and it has to do with the activity of certain immune cells that play a key role in healing.
The work one day may lead to a test to predict who’ll need more care, or maybe even if an operation is the best choice., but scientists don’t know what biol-ogy explains why some people recover so much faster than someone else who’s equally sick.
The Stanford team took an unusually close look at 32 otherwise fairly healthy people who underwent a first-time hip replacement. They took blood samples from the patients before surgery and at several points afterward, and questioned them pain, fatigue and oth-er elements of recovery every few days for six weeks.
Some experienced only mild pain just two days af-ter surgery, while others didn’t report their pain was mostly gone until 36 days later.
Patients’ blood shows an immune signature of re-covery that accounts for much of their variability in re-covery time — a pattern of activity in certain immune cells that are first responders to the injury site, the re-searchers reported Wednesday in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Shots available for the start of flu season
With the cold and flu season rapidly approaching, flu shots and sprays are starting to be of-fered at local businesses as well as through the school. Notes were sent home with students and banners hang on businesses offering the flu vaccine.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rec-ommend that everyone ages six months and older should get the flu vaccine every season.
There are two options to re-ceive the vaccine either through a shot or with a nasal spray. The traditional flu shot protects against three different flu virus-es including two influenza A vi-ruses (an H1N1 and an H3N2) and an influenza B virus accord-
ing to the CDC. There is also a quadrivalent flu vaccine that protects against two influenza A viruses as well as two influ-enza B viruses.
The nasal spray, which is given in each nostril, is a quad-rivalent vaccine and has recent-ly been recommended by the CDC for those children ages two to eight over the shot. It was found that the nasal spray prevented about 50 percent more cases of the flu than the shot for younger children. If the spray is selected, two doses are recommended to be fully pro-tected.
For students, a school-based clinic from the Jasper County Public Health Nursing Service is offering the flu spray to stu-dents whose parents chose to participate. The cost is $25 per
dose with a recommendation of two doses for full protection of those students who have no re-ceived two or more seasonal flu vaccines since July 1, 2010.
Local businesses are also of-fering flu shots as well as Skiff Medical Center.
Peak flu season in the United States occurs between Decem-ber and February with activity starting as early as October and lasting until May according to the CDC. The center also rec-ommends taking other preven-tative measures such as washing hands to reduce the spread of germs and if you are sick, stay-ing home from work or school to prevent the spread of the flu.

booth at the county fair and “helping” the

He also said the chimney has leaks and issues in the column.
“Last time I was down inside that locker room it scared the crap out of me,” said Joe Urias, park board member. Several people commented that the locker rooms were “gross” and Sponseller said that it wasn’t helped by a water main break earlier in the year.
Sponseller said that there are many events that the clubhouse cannot accommodate because of lack of space.
“Some years maybe six, seven times, some years two, three times. I know I have had a few outings that have had 140 people want to throw a price out there, but then when I tell them we don’t have space for 140 people inside ... we
are pretty much eliminated from the get go,” Sponseller said. The current clubhouse holds 30 people at most. There are also about eight to 10 calls for wedding receptions each year that decline because of the small size.
“So everything else aside, we’re going to have to start dumping a lot of money into this building one way or the other, we’re going to have to start doing something,” Urias said.
An option the board spent most of the meeting discussing was building a new clubhouse to better meet the needs of the golf course and the community. A larg-er building that could hold large events, weddings and wedding receptions and additional parties with sizes ranging from 150 to 300 people was one idea.
With those events, there would be a charge to rent the clubhouse
and additional revenue would come in from alcohol sales. Allow-ing outside caterers to be used for those events would be a benefit to those renting.
“Flowing and functional,” is how Urias described a potential new clubhouse.
Many ideas were discussed on uses of the clubhouse as well as de-sign and internal functions within the building associated with the golf course.
To move forward, the board is going research the costs associated with building a new clubhouse in-cluding demolishing the old club-house, designing the new build-ing and where it would go on the property and how it would effect the golf course schedule.

Iowa Biodiesel hosting GOP
event in Newton
Iowa biodiesel producers and soybean farmers will host Gov. Terry Branstad, Lt. Gov. Kim Reyn-olds and U.S. Senate hopeful Joni Ernst at New-ton’s REG, one of the state’s 12 biodiesel plants Thursday.
Renewable Energy Group will give them and other invited guests a tour of the REG Newton fa-cility, which employs 25 Iowans, Thursday morn-ing.
Industry representatives have also planned a pri-vate meeting with Ernst. Grant Kimberley, IBB executive director, said discussions of the federal Renewable Fuel Standard are likely to dominate.
“We welcome the opportunity to have a sincere dialogue with Joni Ernst on the monumental effort to diversify our fuel supply with an advanced bio-fuel like biodiesel,” Kimberley said. “Our industry needs smart, consistent federal energy policy. The economic and energy security benefits biodiesel provides are remarkable, making the RFS one of the finest policies we have.”
The industry awaits final RFS volumes for 2014 from Washington, D.C. The last known proposal would set biodiesel volumes at 1.28 billion gallons. That’s a sharp cut from last year’s production of nearly 1.8 billion gallons.
Ernst is running against U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, a Democrat, for the U.S. Senate. Earlier this year, IBB and REG hosted Braley at a biodiesel plant in Mason City.
REG Newton is a state-of-the-art biodiesel production facility. It can produce up to 30 million gallons of biodiesel per year.
The Iowa biodiesel industry supports more than 7,000 jobs, and the national biodiesel industry sup-ports more than 62,000 jobs.
Biodiesel can be made from a variety of resources including soybean oil, recycled cooking oil and ani-mal fats. It is the first EPA-designated Advanced Biofuel to reach commercial-scale production na-tionwide.
The Iowa Biodiesel Board is a nonpartisan state trade association representing the biodiesel indus-try.
Ernst also campaigned in Newton on Monday as part of her “Iowa Knows Best” 99-county tour.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan, the board de-cided that ensuring it re-ceives modified allowable growth funding for its special education deficit was a top priority.
Last year, the state didn’t fund allowable growth, which Cal-laghan said makes the budget planning process extremely difficult for school districts.
The second prior-ity was ensuring the state continue to provide fund-ing for preschool pro-grams, such as the low-
income based preschool the district maintains at the Emerson Hough building.
Determining a new statewide testing met-ric was the third priority. Callaghan said districts are in limbo because no decision has been made on the future testing sys-tem schools will use and that the funding metrics haven’t been established either.
“We want the legis-lature to take on the re-sponsibility to take on what testing measure we are going to use. We want it be meaningful, we want it to be valid and we want it to help the students in
the state of Iowa grow and be more college and career ready,” Callaghan said.
The district’s final priority was ensuring that there is future fund-ing lined up to continue supporting the Teacher Leadership and Com-pensation grant, which is set to expire at the end of the 2016-2017 school year.
Leadership opportu-nities and higher pay for teachers are some of the benefits listed in the TLC program.
In other business:• No public comment
was made on the poten-tial purchase of a new fire
escape for Woodrow Wil-son Elementary School, and the board agreed to pay Marshalltown-based Hay’s Construction Ser-vices close to $40,000 to replace the old escape.
• The FFA program at Newton Senior High School received permis-sion to attend the national FFA convention in Lou-isville, Ky from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1.
• FFA also received approval to attend an ag-riculture career develop-ment event at Northwest Missouri State University on Oct. 2.

for our special ed department. It would require us to add further adjuncts and such a change might force smaller colleges and univer-sities to stop offering a sped en-dorsement.”
Aside from schools, the Learn-ing Disabilities Association of Iowa and some of its affiliates — International Dyslexia Associa-tion, Iowa’s Autism Speaks Chap-ters — opposed the measure.
In addition, the Iowa State Ed-ucation Association, which repre-sent more than 36,000 teachers, including those in the Newton Community Education Associa-tion, expressed its opposition.
“I can only come to conclude that there is a great possibility that (this) won’t solve the shortage, but that (this) will create a crisis shortage,” said Christy Hickman, ISEA’s legal counsel who spoke on behalf of the organization.
“We are going to create a big-ger problem than we have now. Not only as you have heard from the experts in the field in teacher
prep are we going to make it po-tentially more difficult and less desirable to go into special ed, we are going to alienate our veteran teachers.”
Other criticisms that were expressed included that by gen-eralizing special education in-struction, students won’t get the same quality of learning as they do from teachers whose primary training is tailored toward their grade level, and that there are no proven statistical measures to back this up.
While many pundits are out-spoken in their distaste for the proposal, IBEE’s idea came about to serve multiple purposes. The board felt that by making a K-12 credential, it could entice more potential teachers to choose spe-cial education over general edu-cation, help lower Iowa’s special education achievement gap — where it falls toward the bottom nationally, and help give school districts more flexibility in teacher placement.
The board originally posted this proposal on the Iowa Ad-ministrative Bulletin on Sept. 3. Once a proposed rule change has
been posted on the bulletin, it can become official 35 days after pub-lication.
With the public hearing being held Wednesday, Friday will be the last day public comments can be submitted. A vote on imple-mentation could happen by the second week of October.
“I think this is going to have a negative impact on future special education teachers. Who is going to want to become a special ed teacher if you have to have pos-sibly two more years of education versus that of a gen ed teacher,” said Barbara Hackworth, NCEA president and a practicing special education teacher.
The Newton Community School District currently employs 40 special education teachers, and according to Tina Ross, associate director of secondary education and special programs for the dis-trict, the district has no opinion on the proposal as of yet.
Ross did comment that if the change did occur, teachers in Newton would fund fund their own renewal credits as they have done in the past as a part of their ongoing education.

Corporations love to wrap themselves in the flag with sun-drenched TV commercials that proclaim a deep devotion to American workers and communities. But when it comes to ac-tually taking responsibility for supporting the workers and communi-ties that create the conditions for corporate profits, a record number of big businesses are deserting America.
Burger King is the latest corporation to announce it is moving to Canada — at least on paper — where it will pay lower taxes. In the past three years alone, at least 21 com-panies have completed or an-nounced mergers with foreign corporations to avoid taxes in an operation known as “inver-sion.” That compares with 75 over the past 30 years. These only-on-paper moves will gouge a $20-billion tax loop-hole over the next decade.
These companies may be moving their taxes overseas, but they’re not ending their reliance on the U.S. govern-ment to operate profitably. They are just shirking their responsibility to pay for what they get. The companies still make money in the United
States, where they hire work-ers educated by public schools, ship their goods on public roads, are kept safe by local police officers and firefight-ers, and protect their patents in America’s courts.
Of course, small businesses and American families can’t play the same traitorous game. We can’t hire lawyers and ac-countants to pretend to ship our homes and our income overseas. And most of us wouldn’t do that if we could.
We understand that paying taxes is part of our basic obli-gation as citizens and essential to building strong communi-ties.
What we do resent about taxes is that the current sys-tem is upside down — big corporations and the wealthy game the system so they pay a smaller share of their income in taxes than working families and small business. The share of profits corporations spend on taxes stands at a record low. And those profits are reaching record highs.
It ’s time to turn the tax sys-tem right-side up by closing the tax loopholes that allow billionaires and huge corpora-tions to escape paying their fair share to support the country that made them rich.
The Obama administra-tion just took a major step to do that. Tiring of Republican objections to closing the cor-porate tax deserter loophole,
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced he was issuing new regulations aimed at making it much harder for companies to reap tax benefits from an off-shore move.
This step may curb some corporate desertion. In the long run, it would be best if Con-gress took action. Two bills (S2360 and HR4679) would end the current practice of treating corporate deserters as foreign companies when they are still really based right here.
Consumers can play a role too. In August, Walgreen — which bills itself as “America’s drugstore” — abandoned its plan to dodge $4 billion in taxes in the next five years by changing its corporate address to Switzerland. Walgreen re-versed course when outraged consumers protested at its stores and on the Internet.
This nation faces huge chal-lenges in building an economy that works for all of us. If we plan to build a better future for our children, we must in-sist that corporations be held accountable for their respon-sibilities to our families and communities.

The first thing I noticed about this group of elderly country-schoolers was that t h e y were not o b e s e . May be it was because t h e y grew up in a time w h e n s u g a r was a r a r -ity, used only for special occasions. Or maybe it was because they drank from a com-mon bucket and dipper at the one-room schools, or, because of outdoor toilets, didn’t wash their hands af-ter using. Whatever.
I had been invited to attend a reunion of one-room country schools in Batavia. There were 32 people in attendance, with at least one former teacher. The average age of the group was around 80, and the potluck food was, of course, excellent (which was the real draw for me).
Country schools from two counties were rep-resented—Jefferson and Wapello—with names such as Hickory Ridge, Centennial, No. 7, Cross Lanes No. 3, Polk 5 (Bo-gus), Hazeldell (Pot Lick), Locust Grove No. 3, Des Moines No. 2, Indiana No. 1, and Bumblebee.
Of course, stories abounded, starting slowly at first, but then pouring forth like the clear, cold well water from their one-room country schools.
“I ran a trap line on the way to school. One morn-ing there was a civet cat in a trap. I clubbed it so that I could pick it up on the way home. When I got to school, the teacher sent me home again. I guess I smelled pretty ripe!”
“My brother and I rode a Shetland pony to school. My father built a shed be-side the school to put the pony in. One morning, I was sick, and my brother had to ride the pony alone. The pony didn’t like that, and turned around and ran home. The pony turned into the driveway, and my brother went straight. My dad whipped the pony, put my brother back on, and sent them off to school again.”
“We had a pasture by the school. We drove the cows to the pasture on the way to school, and then drove them home again after school. Of course, we tried to ride them, but that didn’t work.”
“One boy put a baby garter snake in an ink well, and held his hand over it. When he took his hand off, the snake rose up. The teacher couldn’t figure out what we were screaming about.”
“Our teacher would take us home. First the girls, then the boys. We worked for 50 cents a day, doing chores, clean-ing, ironing, and washing clothes.”
“The county superin-tendent would try to sneak out without us knowing she was coming. She would put her ear up to the door and listen to what was go-ing on. We were to watch for her and let the teacher know if she was coming.”
“We went out at noon hour and gathered milk-weed pods. The silk was used in parachutes and life jackets for the war.”
“I started to school at four-years-old because my brother wouldn’t go to school without me.”
“There was a Naval Air Station at Ottumwa. One-half mile from school there was a 160-acre strip that the Navy used for aircraft-carrier training. The steers-men would touch down, and then take off. They flew under power lines and bridges, and buzzed the school. One of the pilots was Richard Nixon.”
“Upon graduation from eighth grade, we had to take a test to see if we were smart enough to attend high school. The town kids didn’t have to take that test. But we were better educat-ed because we heard what was going on in the other grades.”
The one-room country schools reunion in Batavia may not last much longer. The former students are aging. But the memories live on, contained in scrap-books, newspaper articles, and on the walls and foun-dations of the one-room schools that are left, some of them turned into farm buildings and homes, the backbone of American ed-ucation embedded forever.

The springs were loose and pointy, and the upholstery was rip-ping, but the East High School tailgating couch was our Friday night football sanctuary.
Scarlet tailgating in the early 2000s would not have been the com-munity it was if not for the old broken down sofa sitting on the south park-ing lot lawn of Williams Stadium on Des Moines’ east side. For those four short hours before and after every EHS foot-ball game, a schoolyard click or classification did not matter. Jock or band nerd, prep or goth — all were welcome to grill a burger, hot dog, brat or veggies while sitting on it the 5-foot plush stu-dent thrown.
Next to the couch was Jared Gravey’s pickup
truck. The tailgate was always down to pro-vide extra seating for fellow students, and a bed sheet with a spray painted EHS emblem always flew on a wooden flagpole suspended in the truck bed. The giant hood of my 1974 Ford Gran Torino would also provide ample lounging space. It was a senior-led tradition passed from class to class.
At homecoming cel-ebrations throughout Jasper County last week-end, I saw moments that reminded me of my high school tradition. While I was driving to the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter game on Highway F17, a young runner in Ameri-can flag shorts was carry-ing a football with other joggers and a support car in tow. It was the CMB
cross country team on the final leg of a 30-mile run, carrying the home-coming game ball from opponent Nevada’s home field to Baxter.
As the team entered the stadium, the Raider flag and ball-carrier led the way down the track to greet full bleachers of students, teachers and families. The runners met the football team at the 50-yard line to ex-change a handshake and hand off the ball like the Olympic Torch finishing the journey from Athens to the host country.
Colfax may be a town of just more than 2,000 people, but that won’t stop its people from having a homecoming parade. At 2:45 p.m. Friday before the big game, Colfax and Mingo Fire Department trucks,
hand-made floats and pickup trucks carried the Colfax-Mingo fall sports teams and homecom-ing royalty through the streets, entertaining the townspeople who were all planning on a night at the football field.
Newton honored former-Cardinal foot-ball star and Newton High School sports his-torian Avery Wilson as the grand marshal of its homecoming parade. While a reporter at the Newton Daily News sev-eral years ago, I had the honor of interviewing Mr. Wilson and seeing his Newton football mu-seum displayed through-out his home. Each jer-sey and every helmet has a story, and Wilson can tell it in detail.
At EHS in 2003, the Scarlets made the state
playoffs for the first time since 1989. Although the spirit of the couch was passed down to the 2004 senior class, the couch itself was not. Fol-lowing the last regular-season game, nearly 300 EHS fans congregated at my friend Nate’s country house for a post-game bonfire. There was no talking — only silence as the crowd listened to the final prep game of the night when Southeast Polk clinched their game, qualifying us for state. In superstitious and ornery teenage fashion, the tail-gate couch was sacrificed — ceremoniously burned and fueled the fire during the celebration.
Every school has homecoming celebra-tions unique to its fans. All are important and all are about community.

Local tumblers compete at AAU National Junior OlympicsMAT Tumbling/
Trampoline team fin-ished the 2013-2014 competitive sea-son traveling to Des Moines to compete at the AAU National Ju-nior Olympics in the Hy-Vee Hall at the Iowa Event Center. The tumbling/trampo-line event ran four days, and many of the MAT competitors were at the event center every day. MAT team mem-bers placed well in all events including many National Champions. Several MAT athletes had the honor of be-ing named to the All Iowa Team, made up of athletes who posted the highest score at each level in each event. The state of Iowa took sec-ond place in the tram-poline and tumbling, and first in the double-mini trampoline por-tion of the competition.

Fees waived on National Public Lands Day Saturday
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will waive day use fees at its more than 2,200 USACE-operated recreation ar-eas nationwide in rec-ognition of National Public Lands Day Sat-urday. On this day, fees normally charged at boat launch ramps and swimming beaches will be waived.
The waiver does not apply to camping and camping-related ser-vices, or fees for spe-cialized facilities such as group picnic shelters. Other agencies and partners that manage recreation areas located on USACE lands are encouraged, but not re-quired, to comply with this waiver of day use fees in the areas they manage.
In addition, volun-teers who participate in one of USACE’s
National Public Lands Day activities will be issued a fee-free cou-pon if the volunteer site is participating in the coupon program.
Volunteers should check with their lo-cal USACE project for more information. The fee-free coupon is valid for one year from date of issue and may be used for one day of entrance or day use fees at any participating fed-eral agency’s park, for-est or recreation area that charges either of these types of fees. For more information on the fee-free day and coupons visit http://www.publiclandsday.org/highlights/fee-free-day-and-coupons.
Within the Rock Island District of the Corps – which includes most of Iowa and Illi-nois as well as parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Missouri – volun-teer events are sched-uled in conjunction with National Pub-lic Lands Day. Those events include the fol-lowing:
Coralville Lake near Iowa City, will host a habitat restoration event. For more infor-mation call (319) 338-3542, extension 6305. Also, registration forms are available at http://www.mvr.usace.army.mil/Missions/Recre-ation/CoralvilleLake.aspx
Thousands of lo-cal volunteers are ex-pected to support the more than 233 USACE sites participating in this year’s 21st annual National Public Lands Day, the largest annual volunteer hands-on res-toration activity of its kind.
Volunteers at US-ACE sites will take part
in tree planting, erosion control, bank stabiliza-tion, building trails, re-storing recreation areas, trash pickup, removing invasive species and non-native plants, im-proving wildlife habi-tats, harvesting prairie plant seeds and reha-bilitating playgrounds.
In 2013, more than 16,000 volunteers worked to clean 1,651 miles of shoreline, maintain 135 miles of trails, and plant some 835 trees and shrubs at USACE-operated sites.
Volunteering in Na-tional Public Lands Day events is one way to answer President Obama’s call to ser-vice and play a role in supporting America’s Great Outdoors Initia-tive, an effort to pro-mote the conservation of outdoor spaces and reconnect Americans to the outdoors.
Use caution during harvestHarvest time has ar-
rived. To drivers this means there will be large slow moving equipment on the roadways.
Some of this equip-ment can be oversized and traveling well below the posted speed limit. Drivers need to exercise caution and slow down when near these vehicles. All vehicles have to obey the traffic laws — even farm equipment has to stop at stop signs and yield at yield signs. If the implement of husbandry has turn signals, they need to be used. Farm equipment should have a slow moving sign on the back of the equipment. At night, it should have lights to the front and
rear. Be sure to watch those field drives, too.
Drivers finding them-selves behind farm implements should not tailgate and allow extra space. Do not pass in a no-passing zone. The traffic laws pertain to ev-eryone on the road.
Drive defensively and be prepared for anything. When you come around that curve or over the hill there could be imple-ment of husbandry in the roadway. Driving is the number one job when behind the wheel, whether you’re driving farm equipment or your personal vehicle. Slow down, put the cell-phone away, buckle up and drive safely.

DEAR ABBY: I always thought that “Lana,” my wife of 14 years, and I had the perfect marriage. When I discovered she was having an affair, it hit me like a train wreck. After many weeks of trying to discover who she really is, I found out she has had several affairs throughout our marriage.
I still love my wife and feel I could forgive her and regain my trust in her. The problem is, she says she is trying to recover from her actions, so she can no longer hear about my problems or re-spond to any of my questions.
Lana is now saying I need to see someone to discuss our issues with. We are already seeing a marriage counselor, but I suspect he is too connected to us as a couple. What do you think? — LOST IN LIMBO
DEAR IN LIMBO: I think the mar-riage counselor should have made clear to you and your wife that in order for trust to be rebuilt it takes LOTS of dia-logue and listening on the part of both spouses. And painful as it may be for Lana, she owes you the answers to your questions.
That said, I think she is correct in suggesting you talk to someone indi-vidually. With the help of a licensed psy-chotherapist — someone who is there JUST FOR YOU — you may be able to rationally decide whether your wife is capable of being the person you assumed she was, and if staying married to her is the best thing for you.
DEAR ABBY: My mother died a few years ago after a prolonged illness. My father has found a new lady (“Co-lette”) to share his life, and they are now engaged.
My problem is my sisters. We are all adults with families of our own. They don’t like Colette at all. They are rude to her and behave like spoiled children. Colette is very different from Mom, but our family has always been open-mind-ed and taken pride in our conviction that “normal” is just a setting on the dryer.
Colette isn’t after Dad’s money, nor is she forcing her way into our lives. She’s also not trying to replace Mom. It ap-pears she genuinely cares for our dad, which I can understand. He’s a good man, smart, attractive and fun to be with.
Dad is happy as a clam. He’s enjoy-ing life and has lots more life to live. The only thing that mars his happiness is my sisters’ attitudes. What can I do to help them? I don’t want to be too harsh be-cause I know they are still grieving, but I hate to see them drive a wedge into what remains of our family. — JOY IN TEXAS
DEAR JOY: Please accept my sym-pathy for the loss of your mother. Per-haps you should remind your sisters how grateful they should be that your father has been able to find happiness after los-ing your mother. Not all widowers are able to do that. Stress that his desire to remarry is a tribute to the relationship he had with your mother, because men who had unfulfilling marriages usually don’t want to commit again.
Point out that they have nothing to gain by alienating Colette and a lot to lose, because the more they treat her with disrespect, the farther away they will drive her — and your dad. Then suggest that if they can’t resolve their grief, they join a support group or con-sult a therapist for help.
Illusion of perfect marriage is shattered by man’s discovery

Lawsuit alleges Templeton Rye misled customers
DES MOINES — A Chicago law firm is suing Templeton Rye, alleging that the Iowa company broke consumer protection laws and misled drinkers with stories of its whiskey’s origins.
The class-action lawsuit was filed in Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois on behalf of “all individuals in the United States who’ve purchased a bottle of Tem-pleton Rye.” It comes after news in August that the whiskey is made using the stock recipe in an Indiana distillery.
Vehicle driven by police chief hits woman
DAVENPORT — The Iowa State Patrol is investigating a crash in which a vehicle driven by Davenport’s police chief hit a woman in a wheelchair. The incident happened Tuesday morning when Police Chief Frank Donchez was driving in downtown Davenport.
Donchez turned into an intersection and hit Murvine M. Meyer, who was crossing using a wheelchair and accompanied by a guide dog. The vehicle knocked over the wheelchair.
3 School bus driver hospitalized after Iowa crash
ARLINGTON — An eastern Iowa school bus driver was sent to the hospital following a crash Monday, with no stu-dents aboard.
Michael James Carey, 74, of Fayette, was driving a West Central school dis-trict bus north on J Avenue seven miles west of Arlington when he lost control. The bus went into a ditch shortly after 4 p.m., according to the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier.

Woman, 2 children flee fire at Waterloo home
WATERLOO — A woman and two children have safely escaped from flames that damaged the kitchen of their home in Waterloo. Waterloo fire battalion chief Marty Freshwater said the fire broke out about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The fire started in the kitchen, Fresh-water said, and there was smoke dam-age throughout the house. The woman, a 7-week-old child and a 10-year-old all fled without harm, along with a pet cat, he said.
Iowa bars Tesla Motors from offering test drives
DES MOINES — The Iowa Transpor-tation Department has told Tesla Motors to stop offering test drives. The department said the test drives were illegal because Tesla isn’t a licensed auto dealer in Iowa and because Iowa law bars carmakers from retail sales.
A Tesla spokeswoman said the company doesn’t think the statutes apply because the company was offering only three-day test drives.
Guide Rock woman gets life after murder conviction
HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — A Guide Rock woman has been sen-tenced to life in prison for killing her boy-friend’s 68-year-old mother.
Shelley Casterline, 41, was sentenced Mon-day in Adams County District Court.
“Not a day goes by that I don’t regret what I did,” she said, accord-
ing to the Hastings Tri-bune. “I’m very sorry. I took away a grand-mother and a mother.”
Her son, Andrew, 24, was convicted last week of first-degree mur-der and other crimes connected to the Oct. 4 slaying of Virginia Barone. His sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 15. His mother testi-fied that he didn’t stab
B a r o n e but had m e r e l y h e l p e d h i m m o v e her body, w h i c h w a s f o u n d partially c ov e r e d
by boards on Oct. 5.The Casterlines were
arrested that same day in Newton. Police said the two had been trav-eling in a sport utility vehicle stolen in Cass County, Neb., earlier
that day.Shelley Casterline
has said she and Bar-one got into an argu-ment before Barone hit her, making her angry. She said she grabbed a knife, stabbed Barone in the back and later tossed the weapon into a cornfield.
Shelley Casterline made a deal with pros-ecutors and pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of second-de-gree murder. The lesser murder charge carries a sentence range of 20 years to life, compared
with the mandatory life sentence carried in the original charge of first-degree murder.
Prosecutor Matt Lierman asked the judge to give Shelley life in prison, which drew comment later from Casterline’s attor-ney, Jeff Pickens.
“We expect she would be sentenced as a second-degree mur-der,” Pickens said. “The prosecutor is asking you to sentence her as though it were first-de-gree murder. I think it’s wrong to punish some-
body for a Class 1A fel-ony when they are con-victed of a 1B felony.”
Judge Stephen Il-lingworth said he was giving Shelley Caster-line life in prison be-cause the brutality of the attack, the num-ber of wounds and the evidence indicated that Casterline knew Bar-one was alive after the attack but left her to die.
“It is my intent that you spend the rest of your life in prison,” Il-lingworth said to Cast-erline.

Pregame Outlook —
Cardinals to clash with Tigers in district showdown
Gilbert’s Tigers pres-ent a challenge for New-ton High’s Cardinals in their third Class 3A District 6 game of the season. On Friday, the 10th-ranked Cardinals travel to Gilbert, which is ranked No. 9, for a 7:30 p.m. football game.
There is the size fac-tor — Gilbert, a team that moved up to Class 3A from 2A this sea-son, has bigger players up front than Newton. The Tigers’ senior quar-terback and linebacker Jared Gescheidler comes at teams with a 6-foot-2, 225-pound frame.
“Gilbert is bigger than we are, but we believe we can use our athleticism and quickness to offset its size. We have to be active on defense,” said Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright.
Gescheidler helped lead the Tigers to an 8-4 record a year ago and to the 2A quarterfinals. Gescheidler is Gilbert’s leading rusher (46 car-ries for 470 yards), pass-er (30-of-65, 501 yards) and tackler (35 solos/19 assisted tackles).
“He (Gescheidler) suffered an injury in the fourth quarter of last week’s game against
Ballard. The kid they brought in for him is pretty good also and led them to two fourth quarter touchdowns,” Ergenbright said. “We don’t know who will be playing for them this week, so we’re preparing for either one.”
Cole Drzycimski is a junior wide receiver, who is Gilbert’s backup quarterback. Drzycim-ski is a duel threat to
run with the football and pass it. Sophomore Cody Dvorak rushed for 136 yards on 13 carries, scoring three touch-downs, in the Tigers’ 33-28 loss last Friday to Ballard.
Seniors Dax Hatfield and Wyatt Rhoads are Gilbert’s top receivers, averaging more then 16 yards a catch this season.
“It comes down to ex-ecuting our game plan.
We want to use our speed and athleticism to get to the perimeter to stretch them across the field. If we do that, then we can throw the ball and run it inside,” Er-genbright said. “Defen-sively, we have to keep our pad level down and tackle well. Gilbert runs the option and power running game. We don’t want this to turn into a smash-mouth game.”
Having a full comple-ment of running backs to use in Friday’s game is a good thing for New-ton. J.T. Thongvanh saw his first action of the season last week and Deonne Harris will be available, coming off a shoulder injury. The Cardinals have Joseph Banfield, Tristan Peters and Reese Rosenquist to use in the tailback and wing back spots as well.
Newton’s leading rusher is senior quarter-back Tyler Wood, who presents a duel threat for the Tiger defense to figure out. Senior Nick Easley ranks in the top eight receivers in Class 3A, averring 19 yards a catch. Banfield has four catches on the season, averaging 28.5 yards a catch.
Wood’s go-to-guy is Easley, but he has worked all the Newton running backs into the passing game effectively this season. Ergenbright said all the running backs bring a different set of skills to the table for the Cardinals “and we want to utilize that versatility.”
“Last week, we had some timing issues on offense with changing personnel. We’ve worked on that this week in prac-tices. The kids have been focused on Gilbert — watching film and recog-nizing the challenges we face against probably the most athletic team we’ve faced to date,” Ergen-bright said.
“We just have to practice hard, go there and play our style of football.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily NewsGetting to the edge is what Newton High’s offense is designed to do to take advantage of quickness in the run-ning game. Newton’s Tristan Peters (25) gives a stiff-arm to a Benton defender in last week’s home victory for the Cardinals. Newton travels to Gilbert Friday for a Class 3A District 6 contest.

Iowa’s starting quarterback job in fluxIOWA CITY (AP)
— Iowa’s quarterback situation hasn’t been this confusing in a long time.
That might not be a bad thing for the Hawk-eyes.
On Monday, Iowa listed junior Jake Rudock atop the depth chart for Saturday’s game at Pur-due (2-2). On Tuesday, coach Kirk Ferentz de-clared Rudock “day-to-day” after he hurt his leg in last week’s 24-20 vic-tory at Pittsburgh.
Ferentz also said that emerging sophomore C.J. Beathard would start the first practice of the week. But that was only
because Rudock hadn’t been cleared medically.
The only thing that appears certain is that one of them will start for the Hawkeyes (3-1)
against the Boilermakers. Not even Ferentz seemed to know who it will be.
“We’ll play whoever is ready to go. It’s not that big of a deal to us. We’ll rally
behind who’s out there. We’re not going to put Jake out there if he’s not able to play the way he has to. C.J. will be ready to go, if that’s the way it turns out,” Fe-rentz said.
If Beathard can keep playing like he did against the Panthers, Ru-dock’s health might not matter. Beathard was 7 for 8 passing for 98 yards last week as the Hawk-eyes (3-1) rallied from a 10-point deficit and beat the Panthers 24-20.
“It happened like that,

ISU secondary improving with Baylor on tapAMES (AP) — Baylor’s 71-7
dismantling of Iowa State last sea-son was the worst loss in program history.
An improved secondary should help the Cyclones avoid being em-barrassed like that again on Saturday.
Iowa State’s young defensive backs, once a major question mark, have played surprisingly well so far. Iowa State (1-2, 0-1 Big 12) is one of just six teams in the country with-out a passing touchdown allowed as it preps for a rematch with the 7th-
ranked Bears (3-0, 0-0) in Ames.
“I think they’re growing up,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said.
Not even Rhoads would argue that the Cyclones sec-ondary has sud-denly become elite. They’re al-lowing a generous 7.3 yards per attempt after three games against
teams not especially known for their passing attacks.
But Iowa State’s young defen-sive backs have come along sooner than expected under first-year as-sistant Maurice Linguist.
The Cyclones start three un-derclassmen; freshman free safety Kamari Cotton-Moya, sophomore strong safety T.J. Mutcherson and Cotton-Moya

Tony Stewart will not face charges in deadly crashCANANDAIGUA, N.Y. (AP)
— After more than six weeks in limbo, NASCAR star Tony Stew-art finally got the news he had been hop-ing for.
A grand jury that heard tes-timony from more than two dozen wit-nesses, includ-ing accident reconstruction experts and drivers, and looked at photographs and video decided
against bringing criminal charges against Stewart for the death of 20-year-old sprint car driver Kev-in Ward Jr. during an Aug. 9 race.
That doesn’t mean it’s over.A few hours after Ontario
County District Attorney Michael Tantillo announced the grand ju-ry’s decision in this upstate New York hamlet, the Ward family in-dicated in a statement read over the telephone by sister Kayla Her-ring that they will seek civil dam-ages in the young driver’s death.
“Our son got out of his car dur-ing caution when the race was suspended. All the other vehicles
were reducing speed and not ac-celerating except for Stewart, who intentionally tried to intimidate Kevin by accelerating and sliding his car toward him, causing the tragedy,” the family said Wednes-day. “The focus should be on the actions of Mr. Stewart. This mat-ter is not at rest and we will pursue all remedies in fairness to Kevin.”
The family might have a dif-ficult task: Tantillo disclosed that Ward was under the influence of marijuana the night he died and Stewart

Sports Calendarsophomore cornerback Nigel Tribune. Beyond the questionable target-ing call that saw Cot-ton-Moya get ejected in the opener, they’ve largely avoided the mental mistakes that can be typical for young players.
In Tribune, Iowa State has a cornerback with a chance to push for All-Big 12 honors by the end of this sea-son. Tribune was the only true freshman Iowa State played last season. He started seven games, picking up 30 tackles, six pass breakups and
an interception against Oklahoma State.
Tribune is now Iowa State’s top cornerback, and Rhoads is hoping that Baylor’s prolific passing attack will force Tribune to rise to the level of his competition.
“I think Nigel is far from playing his best defense, and I think he realizes that. He knows this game is a big chal-lenge for him,” Rhoads said. “We need him to play well in a game like this.”
Cornerback Sam E. Richardson has made a name for himself be-yond the one he shares with Iowa State’s start-
ing quarterback, Sam B. Richardson. He’s slowly gotten better since a shaky showing in that loss to Baylor 11 months ago.
Cotton-Moya, one of four freshmen to start for Iowa State, has 12 tackles in just over two games. Mutcherson had a crucial interception in Iowa State’s 20-17 win at Iowa on Sept. 13, which Rhoads said was his best game yet.
Iowa State’s streak without letting up a TD through the air is likely to change on Saturday.
Baylor ranks first among teams with three games played with 13
passing TDs. The Bears are also first with 59.3 points a game — albeit against very weak com-petition — behind star quarterback Bryce Petty.
But Iowa State enters the Big 12 season with a secondary that’s been more of a bright spot than a concern. Now they face their big-gest test yet — slowing down one of the nation’s most prolific offenses.
“Anybody that’s a competitor of a game like this,” Rhoads said. “When you’re facing elite players like this, as well as an elite team, it should bring out the best in you.”

so I wasn’t really ex-pecting it. It just kind of hits you and then you’re like, ‘Man. I’m going in. This is my time to lead. Now I’ve got to lead this team,’” Beathard said.
The competition between Rudock and Beathard is clearly clos-er than ever. Rudock has started 17 games for the Hawkeyes. He’s got a decent track re-cord, a firm grasp of the offense and the trust of the coaching staff. Beathard has never started before. But he appears to have a stron-ger arm than Rudock, and he’s arguably more
athletic.Heck, even Beath-
ard’s own teammates have nicknamed him “Sunshine,” for his uncanny resemblance to the floppy-haired, blonde backup who led his team to a title in the movie “Remember the Titans.”
Last week, it took just two quarters for Beathard to revive an offense that had strug-gled all year.
Beathard led Iowa on three consecutive sec-ond-half scoring drives. He threw a perfect deep ball that led to Damond Powell’s one-handed, 62-yard reception, and he hung tough on a third-down completion
to Ray Hamilton that extended Iowa’s game-winning drive.
“That was a nice play. It took a lot of — courage I guess is the best word — to hang in there when you’ve got a couple of guys in your face,” Hamilton said. “I don’t know how much athleticism it (showed). It was more just being tough, knowing that we needed a big play.”
In Rudock’s defense, he’s on pace to throw for a higher completion percentage (66.9) than in 2013 while cutting his interceptions in half.
But most quarter-backs are judged on how many points the offense puts up.
The Hawkeyes have scored just 72 points in 14 quarters behind Ru-dock, an average of 20.5 points a game.
After a shaky practice late last week, Beathard nearly matched that in 30 minutes on the road.
Still, Rudock’s expe-rience could be the de-ciding factor — if he’s healthy enough to play.
“The good news is we found out about Jake last year. I think we found out early that he’s a guy that can play at a really high level and we can win with. And due to the injury to Jake, we found the same thing out about C.J.,” Ferentz said. “It’s a really un-usual situation.”
Continued from Page 1B
his three wild-card picks, Mickelson was asked if the 65-year-old captain had reached out to him. The answer was no, without elaboration.
Watson might not need any help to find a winning formula for the Ryder Cup. One reason the PGA of America took a chance on the oldest captain ever in the Ryder Cup was his history in the matches.
The Americans haven’t won on Eu-ropean soil since 1993, the last time Watson was the captain. He is adored in Scotland as much as any American golf-er, having won the British Open four times on Scottish links. His three Senior British Open titles all were in Scotland.
In the four Ryder Cups that Watson
played, only one was held in the United States.
One thing hasn’t changed. Watson approaches these matches with a singu-lar focus.
“The European team is loaded,” Wat-son said. “But when the matches start at 7:35 on Friday morning, there’s going to be quality of play going on. We’ll just see who wins. I know our team is totally committed to bringing the cup back. I know that. And I’m going to do every-thing in my power to help them do that and set the stage for them.”
Even so, the generation gap creates a dynamic that brings an element of curiosity to this Ryder Cup. Only two players on his team — Mickelson and Jim Furyk — were playing on the PGA Tour when Watson won the last of his
39 titles in 1998.Watson has not been at a Ryder Cup
since he was captain, and he was slightly defensive Wednesday when asked a se-ries of questions about whether that might hurt him.
“No,” he said flatly. “Because I’ve played in the Ryder Cup four times, and I’ve been a captain once. That’s experi-ence.”
He also doesn’t buy into the notion that he can’t relate to a new generation of players, nine of whom were not even born when he won the first of his eight majors.
“I’ve answered that question before,” Watson said. “They know I’ve played in the Ryder Cup. They understand I’ve been a captain. And they know that I know what they’re doing. They have
respect for me and I have the ultimate respect for them. We’re on the same page. We’re professional golfers. Doesn’t matter how old you are or how young you are.”
Watson already raised questions with his picks, stating that he wanted the hot hands and then passing over Chris Kirk, who had won the Deutsche Bank Championship the day before the cap-tain’s picks were chosen.
“Bottom line is he’s a professional golfer with a resume that is awfully deep,” Zach Johnson said. “He’s got a lot of sage advice and wisdom that I think we can certainly dig into and maybe learn from. And then you compound that with the fact that we’re playing a country that he’s had some success in — to put it mildly — I think it’s terrific.”
Ryder Cup: Tom Watson guides United States into 2014 competitionContinued from Page 1B
said two different videos were en-hanced, frames were isolated and viewed at at least three different speeds and finally overlaid with grids and data. Both showed Stewart had done nothing wrong.
“The videos did not demonstrate any aberrational driving by Tony Stewart until the point of impact with Kevin Ward, at which point his vehicle veered to the right up the track as a re-sult of the collision. Prior to that, his course was pretty straight,” said Tantil-lo. He added that toxicology evidence from Ward’s autopsy “indicates that at the time of operation he was under the influence of marijuana. The levels de-termined were enough to impair judg-ment.”
Stewart’s reaction was not one of celebration, and his statement had the same twinge of sadness that he’s car-ried since he returned to NASCAR three weeks ago following three weeks of seclusion after Ward’s death.
The 43-year-old NASCAR super-star acknowledged the investigation was “long and emotionally difficult” but noted it allowed time for all the facts to be presented.
“This has been the toughest and most emotional experience of my life, and it will stay with me forever. I’m very grateful for all the support I’ve received and continue to receive,” he said. “While much of the attention has been on me, it’s important to remem-ber a young man lost his life. Kevin
Ward Jr.’s family and friends will al-ways be in my thoughts and prayers.”
David Weinstein, a former state and federal prosecutor in Miami who is not involved in the case, said the toxicol-ogy evidence will make it difficult for the Wards to win a lawsuit against Stewart. He said the Ward statement showed the family was “clearly upset and at a vulnerable point.”
“Hopefully, someone will explain to them that Kevin will be dragged through the mud during a civil trial,” he said. “After the results of the toxi-cology report and the findings of the grand jury, the deep pockets will not be willing to settle this lawsuit so quickly.”
The decision came nearly seven weeks after Stewart’s car struck and killed Ward, sending shock waves through the top racing series in the United States. The brash and popular NASCAR driver known as “Smoke” skipped three races as he grieved, and returned to racing in late August. One of the biggest stars in the garage, Stew-art has 48 career Cup wins in 542 starts but is winless this year and did not make the championship Chase field.
Sheriff Philip Povero spent weeks investigating, several times saying he did not have evidence to suggest Stew-art meant to harm the other driver.
Authorities said the first car to pass Ward had to swerve to miss hitting him. The front of Stewart’s car ap-peared to clear Ward, but Ward was struck by the right rear tire and hurtled through the air. He died of blunt force trauma.

Astrograph
Jupiter and Uranus form a lucky alignment for hu-mor lovers everywhere. It’s like a cosmic standup comedy show, and we can all benefit from visiting the lighter side of life. It will be easier to see how most of our problems are not unique to us. In fact, so much of what ails us is universal, and so we may as well find a way to laugh together about it.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 25). You’ll have a partner for your adven-turing over the next six weeks, but when the new year begins, there’s some-thing you must do alone — and you’ll rock it! Oc-tober shows you applying recently acquired skills and making good money. December brings a new agreement. February ends a competition. Leo and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 29, 1, 44, 38 and 50.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your purse strings are too loose, and money is in danger of falling out wherever you trod. Finances are improving, but it’s still better to act conservatively. Pull those
strings tight now, and next month will be better.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Whether you are heard or not will de-pend very much on your tone of voice. People crave your attention and tenderness. The world will respond best to your considerate, pleasant ap-proach.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Unexpected happenings this morn-ing may cause you to fall behind, but don’t let that worry you. Tend to what’s really important: the people you love. You’ll make up for lost time later in the after-noon.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Life will contradict itself to such a degree that you’ll wonder what you really know about it.That’s the exciting start-ing place for a whole new worldview, one that helps you effectively address the present.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You need your travels to take you new
places, or you’ll quickly get bored. What if you let your curiosity (instead of your sense of duty) dic-tate the next leg of your journey?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). No pining for the past allowed today. Hon-estly, you’re better off for the way it all turned out. Anyway, you don’t need to turn back the clock; you just need to change its battery.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). While it’s entirely possible to say something different from what you are thinking, your com-munication will probably turn out better if you think something different first and then think that through before you speak again.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are several good ways to let off emo-tional tension. Telling a friend is one way, but that could backfire. Writing in a diary is a good way, al-though maybe you should write it in code.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Doing unto others as
you would have them do to you only works when you both have the same preferences. The golden rule is good, but the plati-num rule is better. Find out how they prefer to be treated.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will be trusted with a seemingly small task — this is a test. In truth, there are no small tasks. Do your very best at this critical juncture, and you’ll be richly rewarded.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you slip up once or twice, don’t let that stop you from following the original plan. If you slip up constantly, however, it might not be the right plan for you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll say goodbye to a fantasy and come to accept that there really is no happily ever after — only a happy today over and over for as long as you decide to be happy.
