Recorder’s office seeking to digitize Jasper County real estate records

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

Jasper County Re-corder Nancy Parrott will on Tuesday present a resolution to the Jasper County Board of Super-visors that would align with previous measures by county offices.

During the previ-ous fiscal year, Jasper County implemented a number of initiatives to ensure the county was prepared for emergen-cies, and that its offices were equipped with up-to-date technologies and procedures.

Parrott is asking the board to consider ap-proving a measure that would allow Columbus, Ohio-based Cott Sys-tems to scan and digi-tize all of the county’s real estate records from 1988 to mid-1999.

According to the agenda, this amounts to 246,000 real estate re-cords and 5,000 subdi-vision and survey plats, which are currently en-closed in more than 234 binders. The proposed benefits of this project is clearing space in the recorder’s office vault, allowing the public to access the records via computer and the re-cords could be stored off-site as precaution.

If approved, the proj-ect will cost $41,000. Parrott said her office has the funds to pay $30,000 and she is ask-ing that the board pay for the remainder from the general fund.

In other business, Jas-per County Sheriff John Halferty will present a list of certified candi-dates to the board for his office’s two open deputy

positions. The board originally approved his request for three addi-tional deputies in May and since then, one po-sition has been filled.

The candidates — Cale McClain, Kiel Archer, Cody Hamil-ton, Nick Aldrich, Matt Hasdall and Clint Ray — each underwent and passed testing from the sheriff ’s office on July 24. Four days later, the Jasper County Civil Service Commission met and voted to certify all six applicants.

In other business:• Jasper County Hu-

man Resources Director Dennis Simon will pres-ent hiring resolutions for the Secondary Roads Department and county assessor’s office.

New vice president of operations starts at P.I.

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer

There is a new face at Progress Industries. Laurie Doyon took over the office of Vice President of Op-erations after 29-year employee Dave McClurg retired.

Doyon is a veteran in the field having started out as a certified nurs-ing assistant at a nursing home before becom-ing an activity director where she worked pri-marily with the elderly but also with people with spe-cial needs. From there, she went on to manage an independent living facility before going back to school to get her master’s in public administration to go along with her degree in psychol-ogy and human services. She wasn’t looking for a career change, but knew she had more to give to the field.

“I wasn’t using my skills and abili-ties to their full potential, and so I was looking for opportunities to do just that. I heard nothing but good, good things about (Progress Industries) and just really felt that with the mission of teaching and supporting people with disabilities to live more independently, and their core values of integrity and excellence, my passion for people fit right in,” Doyon said.

“We are excited about Laurie’s arrival. She brings a wealth of ex-perience having worked in our field for several years,” said Dan Skokan, President/CEO of Progress Indus-tries.

Hattori Racing brings Japanese students to Iowa

By Kate Malott Daily News Staff Writer

Racing isn’t just about driving fast cars and spon-sor merchandise. For many behind the scenes, strategy and science accompany the craft of racing.

Hattori Racing En-

terprises owner Shigeaki Hattori was approached by Toyota executives to part-ner in a unique experience where the top two students at each of the Toyota Tech-nical Colleges in Japan are given the hands on experi-ence of working with a car in a real race environment.

“I wanted to give young students a new opportu-nity. This is totally differ-ent opportunity for them,” Hattori said. “The young kids are so focused, and joyed. They learn a lot.”

Jasper County residents are encouraged to seek legal assis-tance or contact the Iowa At-torney General’s Office prior to entering into any type of legal agreement with an out of state company for a proposed pipe-line that may go through Jasper County.

“It is important for farmers and landowners not rush into any agreements with the pipeline developers,” Rep. Dan Kelley

said. “I encourage those who are approached to seek legal advice or contact the Iowa Attorney General’s Office prior to enter-ing into any type of agreement with an out of state company for a proposed pipeline that may go through Jasper County.”

Energy Transfer Partners L.P., a Texas based company wants to build a pipeline connecting its gulf coast oil terminal to oil fields in North Dakota. The pro-posed Bakken Pipeline would go through 17 Iowa counties, in-

cluding Jasper County.“In addition to studying this

proposal, I am focused on help-ing expand permanent renewable energy jobs in Jasper County,” Kelley said. “We’ve taken advan-tage of the opportunities offered by wind and biodiesel. The cur-rent expansion at REG Newton biodiesel plant is evidence our efforts are working.”

The Iowa Attorney General can be reached at (515) 281-5164 or at www.state.ia.us/gov-ernment/ag.

Algal bloom found at Lake Red Rock

A swimming advi-sory notice has been posted at North Over-look Beach and White-breast Beach at Lake Red Rock in response to the presence of a significant blue-green algae bloom which has the potential to impact the health of humans and their pets.

Blue-green algae under certain environ-mental conditions can produce a compound known as microcys-tin. Water containing

high concentrations of microcystin can cause illness through direct skin contact, by in-gesting the water, or by breathing airborne droplets of the water.

Microcystin poison-ing can cause skin reac-tions, gastrointestinal pain, breathing prob-lems or even liver dam-age.

The U.S. Corps of Engineers continues to monitor the water qual-ity of these swim areas and the main body of the lake through rou-tine water sampling.

Samples taken earlier this week were well be-low levels of concern. However, due to the visual presence of sig-nificant algal blooms in and adjacent to these swim areas, the Corps deemed it prudent to post the advisory.

In addition to the two beaches, algal blooms have also been observed in the main basin of the lake.

The Iowa Depart-ment of Natural Re-sources advises the public to stay away from water that is

covered with scum, is bright green or blue in color, or has a bad odor. Anyone who comes in contact with water where a blue-green al-gae bloom has formed should wash off with fresh water and soap and contact their health care provider if experi-encing any symptoms.

For additional in-formation on harm-ful algal blooms, visit the Iowa Department of Public Health web-site at www.idph.state.ia.us/eh/algal_blooms.asp.

Rex’s uncle drove to Ottumwa with the three horses in an old truck that didn’t have much for side boards. When he screeched to a halt at the corner of Main and Market, one of the horses reared up with its hoofs on the roof of the cab. Looking back, Rex, should have recognized this as a forewarning. The three horses were Dolly, Barney and Charlie. Charlie was the one that reared up, and Charlie would also become known as the lazy horse. When pulling with the other two horses, Charlie’s traces would often be loose.

The year was 1942, and Rex was 4 years old. His father Wil-bur Kimple farmed 200 acres, one mile north and two miles east of Packwood. Rex had a brother, Max, who was two years older.

Older brother Max jumped off the school bus and ran into the house to change clothes and get Rex. Pretty soon they would have to milk. Max asked his mother where their father was. She pulled the curtain back and looked out the window toward the south field. Max took off with Rex. Their dog, Spot, barked wildly, turned circles, and joined in the foray. Max and Rex raced each other, up their sledding hill and over the fence, careful not to step in cowpies. Max being older, was of course, faster. They could see the three-horse hitch attached to a disk. Their father was off gathering fenceposts while the horses rested. Pretty soon their father would be sowing oats. Max was ahead, and was running to where their father was, behind the hitch. Max, not thinking, ran in front of the team, along with Spot. Charlie spooked, rearing up in the harness, and took off with the other two horses following. Their dad watched in shocked disbelief.

Little Rex was just getting over the fence, having climbed over using a crooked hedge post for support. He looked up and saw the team racing wildly toward him. There was nothing he could do. He stepped back a little, against the barbwire fence and beside the hedge post. He thought to himself, “I’m not back far enough.”

He must have shut his eyes. He heard the trampling of hoofs, felt the hot horse breath and slobber, and heard and felt the iron clang against the hard hedge wood. Sparks flew. The outside disk hit the hedge post, and the whole disk bounced out and around the pet-rified boy. Rex scurried back over the fence. He re-members looking up and seeing the home place. The three horses came to a halt about a half mile away. Rex’s father was too stunned for words. The only thing he could finally muster was, “Better get them cow’s milked, boys.”

That was 72 years ago. The hedge-post fence is still standing, the original barbwire is still strung, and the crooked hedge post that saved Rex’s life is still in the ground, complete with the notch where the disk struck it.

Rex, now 76, lives in Ottumwa, and remembers the event like it was yesterday. He has painstakingly rec-reated the scene in a photoshopped, pieced-together photo. He cut out a three-horse team and a straight-line disk, took multiple photos of the original hedge post, and placed a picture of himself as a little boy, standing between the hedge post and the runaway team.

He never wants to forget that day, wants to be able to show the picture to his grandkids and tell the story of how a hedge post, cut from the farm’s own hedge row, saved his life. Hedge wood is tough as iron, never rots and, like his memories, indelible, lasting forever.

I have a Starbucks drive-thru nemesis.

I’ve been in line directly behind her four times, despite my going to Starbucks infre-quently. I would guess that she lives in her car on a per-petual Starbucks drive-thru loop if it weren’t for the fancy car that she revs every time we move for ward, the fancy rock on her fin-ger that g l i t t e r s as she m a k e s o b s c e n e ges tures and the f a n c y chin im-plant that she juts out as she berates the employee tak-ing orders for never putting enough ice in her half-caf, nonfat iced vanilla latte with a shot of sugar-free hazelnut.

I hate this woman. But despite my hatred, it was her rearview mirror scoff at my crumbled car bumper — holding on for dear life from my car accident a few weeks ago — that finally motivated me to take my Subaru to the shop.

The car is still there. So far, it has needed a week’s worth of repairs, and it will probably need another week. For some inexplicable reason, it didn’t occur to me that I would need to leave my auto overnight. When Dave from Enterprise came to pick me up, I required eight bags to help me remove the jackets, sippy cups, toys and script pages from my car — not to mention the car seat and base. The items just bare-ly squeezed into his trunk.

When we arrived at En-terprise, Dave showed me around the lot, pointing out the different cars I could rent.

I told him that my insurance would cover only up to $30 a day and that I wanted the cheapest car available. But Dave wasn’t having it. He leaned in, gave me his best smile and said, “You look like the kind of lady who should be behind the wheel of a Chevy Tahoe.”

I have no idea what that means, but I’m confident I’m insulted by it.

No offense to the vehicle itself. My other car is a Chev-rolet, and I’ve heard Lake Tahoe is a beautiful place to visit, as long as you stay clear of the rabid squirrels. But whatever it was that Dave saw in me that screamed Chevy Tahoe, I’m guessing it had nothing to do with crys-tal-blue waters.

I’m not new to the idea of defining yourself by your ve-hicle.

My whole life, I obsessed over Jeep Wranglers, until I got the manual two-door soft-top of my dreams 10 years ago. I named him Todd, and I loved him. More than loving the Jeep itself, I loved what it said about me. That I was ready for adventure. That I could break the rules, go rogue and off-road at any moment. While I was stuck in bumper-to-bumper traf-fic on my way to the office, Todd kept me connected to the more adventurous person of my past.

When it was time to sell Todd, I decided to commem-orate our love by paying a photographer to take pinup-girl pictures of me washing the Jeep. Slight issue: I was seven months pregnant at the time. I explained to the burlesque photographer that I needed pictures with Todd before I had to sell him for a more family-friendly vehi-cle. For some odd reason, the photographer never called

me back.Now here I was with a

broken family car, getting swindled to spend more money by renting a big ve-hicle. I told Enterprise Dave about my beloved Todd. He replied that the place doesn’t carry any Jeeps but said there were a few minivans.

Forehead slap.Suddenly, the $30-a-day

limit was thrown out the win-dow as I scanned the park-ing lot, determined to show obnoxious Enterprise Dave the kind of car this little lady should be sitting behind the wheel of.

I picked my rental: an ice-blue Lexus hybrid.

I sat smugly in the driver’s seat as Dave moved my bags and car seat into my Lexus.

“Anything else you need?” Dave asked.

“Just the keys,” I snorted, giving attitude from my hurt ego. “You only gave me the beeper.”

Dave smirked, leaned in over me and pushed a button with the word “POWER” on it. The ignition turned on. My ears turned red. Oops.

Over the week, the Lexus and I bonded. I was feeling good about how my rental defined me when I saw my nemesis in line at the Star-bucks drive-thru. She had just finished accosting the employee and was pull-ing forward, when I noticed something upsetting: We were driving the same car.

New wheels

Empty Nest

By Katiedid Langrock

Creators Syndicate

To the editor, I have had the pleasure of working close-

ly with Marshall Critchfield over the past two years. I have witnessed firsthand his dedication and hard work. Marshall pitches new concepts and suggestions for process im-provement that management takes note of and pays attention to.

His ability to think beyond the scope of typical business protocol would make him an asset to our local government.

Marshall is an extremely credible person who is honest, reliable and fair. I am confi-dent that he would represent our local govern-ment in Jasper County with great integrity. I am proud to call Marshall Critchfield a co-worker and friend and I am pleased to support him in his run for county recorder.

“Changes in leader-ship can create anxiety in an organization but it usually creates oppor-tunity. We are looking forward to Laurie’s lead-ership role at Progress Industries,” Skokan said.

Doyon’s has been drawn to help people since an early age.

“I have that passion for people, that came all the way back from growing up and being around my great-great-grandmother. As a CNA, you are really focused on an individual’s physical needs. I wanted to be

able to look at the person more as a whole and re-ally engage people in life. That is where my focus has been in all along; to assist people in living life as independently as they can, making their own choices and defin-ing what their lifestyle is going to be,” Doyon said.

She found that Prog-ress Industries is a place that has the same passion as she does and fits with her desire want to help people live the best life they can.

“It is such a positive and uplifting environ-ment, everybody is re-ally engaged with great relationships and happy to be part of PI,” Doyon

said.While she is still get-

ting her bearings, having just started her new po-sition, Doyon also is fo-cusing on the future.

“In the world of hu-man services it is ever changing, in order to stay at the top of our game and on the cutting edge you always need to be looking to the future and being proactive to deter-mine where everything is going and how you can best meet the needs of the people you are serv-ing,” Doyon said.

A sign of the times

Submitted PhotoThe next time you are driving down Interstate 80 you may spot the new signs for the Wagaman Mill in Lynnville. Dallas Cupples, a former intern with the Jas-per County Conservation Office, spearheaded the project. The new signs were erected last week by JCO staff and were approved by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors to be designated official county signs.

At the Toyota Technical College, students study mechanical systems engineering, electronics and informa-tion science and materials science and engineering, and the top 5 percent of students move on to Toyota Corpo-rate.

Hattori chose to bring the students to the Iowa Speedway because of the Autolite Iridium XP 150 has a half-way point. During the break, there is a 7 minute period which allows the crew, and the students, to make pit adjustments where the HRE staff will assist and make any corrections.

The students arrived to the U.S. on July 24 where they studied chassis set-ups, ride heights, tire pressure and pit crews at the NASCAR Technical Institute in Mooresville, N.C. They spent the mornings in the classroom and the afternoons in the pit.

On July 26, they attended the Red Bully Rallycross race in Charlotte, N.C. where they were thrilled to meet Ken Block and Nelson Piquet Jr., two popular drivers in Japan.

On Wednesday, the students and HRE crew arrived in Iowa, a land different than anything they’ve ever seen. The students were surprised by the vast amount of farm land and corn they saw while driving along the Iowa roads. They were also pleasantly sur-prised by the kindness of midwestern people who they thought were very friendly and hospitable.

“I couldn’t imagine going to an-other country and working on a race team. To get thrown into it like they have, it’s been a real experience for them. It’s really neat to see how far they’ve come and now get to work

with them,” HRE driver Ross Chas-tain said. “It’s been just as cool of an experience for me to get to see them do it.”

The students took the education from Japan and North Carolina and applied to this rare experience work-ing on a car in pit lane during a race. They performed the tasks asked of them under the guidance of Chastain’s regular crew.

“I’m proud to wear team uniform and want to get win together. It’s ex-citing. We’re very gracious for this ex-perience and very happy to be here,” one student named Yuki said. “My favorite part of the trip so far is right now, at the race track.”

Proposed oil pipeline faces regulatory hurdles

DES MOINES (AP) — A Texas com-pany seeking to run an underground oil pipe-line through Iowa has a laborious approval process to get through before they can start digging.

Energy Transfer Partners LP is be-hind the proposed project, which would carry crude oil 1,100 miles from the Bak-ken oil fields in North Dakota to Illinois, traveling diagonally through roughly 17 Iowa counties along the way. The pipeline would use a 30-inch diameter pipe to carry at least 320,000 bar-

rels a day.The pipeline would

cut between Ames and Ankeny and toward Keokuk in the state’s southeast corner, then cross the Mississippi River to its destina-tion in Patoka, Illi-nois, about 70 miles east of St. Louis.

The company says the pipeline would al-low them to transport oil more safely than by trucks or rail, but environmental activ-ists are already aggres-sively campaigning against the project and calling on Republican Gov. Terry Branstad to oppose it.

“Our position is

that there’s no pipeline plan that can pass the bar to meet the public interest,” said David Goodner, an organizer with Iowa Citizens for Community Improve-ment, a group that fo-cuses on agricultural and environmental issues. “We launched a petition earlier this week calling on Gov. Branstad himself to reject the pipeline...He has a choice to stand with everyday Iowans or stand with big oil and out of state corporations.”

Branstad said he hasn’t decided wheth-er he would support the project.

Solution to 8/1/14

DEAR ABBY: I am a happily married, 26-year-old female with just one problem: I’m afraid to have chil-dren.

I have always wanted children, and it’s something my husband and I often discuss. Anytime we are asked when we plan to start our family, we always say four to five years, but we have been saying this same thing for four years. I always thought I’d be ready by now.

My husband has been very sick for the past few years and had to take time off work. We were able to scrape by on my salary, but it was tough. He returned to work recently and is fine. But now all I can think about is how much children cost, and I’m afraid we’ll never have enough money to have a baby.

I also worry about what if our child would be killed in an accident, mo-lested or kidnapped! I ask myself why anyone would want to bring children into such a scary world, yet I still want them. Please help me. I am very upset and don’t know what to do. — UNCERTAIN IN TULSA

DEAR UNCERTAIN: I under-stand your concerns and they are val-id. Having children is an act of faith as well as an investment in the future.

If you think about it, life itself is a gamble. Mature individuals do ev-erything they can to keep the odds in their favor. They work hard, live healthy lives, buy insurance, start an education fund for their children, etc. There are no guarantees — but people keep having children anyway.

Because you feel stuck in making this decision, it would be helpful to discuss your concerns with a licensed mental health professional who can help you put your fears to rest.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 30-year-old mother of a 5-year-old girl. I have been dating “Mack” for two years. Everything was great at first, but

when I moved in with him things changed.

I don’t have a car right now. I work less than a mile away, so I walk most-ly and don’t mind. The problem is, when Mack gets off work, he picks up his son and goes straight home. He doesn’t call or text me to ask where I am, or drive by to see where my child and I are walking. When I arrive home, I’ll find his son watch-ing TV and Mack doing something else.

I keep telling him I need respect. What would you do if you were in my shoes? Temperatures are in the mid-90s here in the summer, and it can get to you when you’re walking. — UPSET MAMA IN TEXAS

DEAR UPSET: If you haven’t ASKED Mack to pick you up when he leaves work so you’re not stuck in the blazing heat — with your child, yet — you should. That he wouldn’t think of it himself shows not only a lack of consideration for your feelings but also for your little girl’s welfare.

Because his behavior has changed since you started living with him, consider this change to be a red flag. If things don’t improve, start looking for other living arrangements for you and your daughter because it appears you and Mack do better when you’re not cohabiting.

The Prairie City City Council will address the parking situation on Plainsmen Road dur-ing its Thursday, Feb. 6, meeting after having passed the first reading of an ordinance to allow for a loading and unload-ing zone next to Prairie City Elementary School.

City staff and council-ors are hoping for public input on the process at the meeting, and com-munity members have

been encouraged to at-tend with questions and concerns via the city’s social media.

The ordinance, draft-ed off of what is current-ly in use in Des Moines, would create a specific School Passenger Park-ing Zone, which would allow for parking be-tween 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on school days only for the purpose of loading or unloading school pas-sengers.

As a high school junior, a wide-eyed, 16-year-old Nancy Hoen went to work for the first time in the Jasper County Re-corder’s Office to work a sum-mer job.

It’s hard to imagine that girl, who grew up to become Jasper County Recorder Nancy Parrott

would be looking back this week upon a career in that very same office that has spanned more than 40 years. She announced publicly Thursday morning this will be her last year leading the office she transformed.

“County government has played such a wonderful part of my life, and I will never forget the many friends that I have made,” she said. “I look

forward to spending more time with family, including my ten grandchildren, and will stay connected to local government through my husband, Dennis.”

Dennis Parrott currently serves as Jasper County Audi-tor. He was re-elected in 2012.

Nancy Parrott has served as

A 28E agreement be-tween the city and the PCM school district has been approved by both entities, and now the de-sign process will move forward on a joint waste-water management proj-ect between the entities.

The hope is that the project, a new filtration and drainage system be-ing put in alongside the athletic complex in Prai-rie City, will help drain

the water out of the area more efficiently than in the past while also fil-tering the water through natural vegetation.

The project is esti-mated to cost around $245,000, which will be paid by the city. The funds will be coming from a State Revolving Fund loan the city had previously taken out for its new wastewater treat-ment plant.

Mud Pies and Sassa-fras Tea Antiques in Prai-rie City has expanded its hours, as well as its of-ferings, and it’s holding a sale this weekend, just in time for last-minute Val-entine’s Day shoppers.

The sisters and co-owners, Becky Horner and Linda Dorr, have been busy over the past several weeks, posting a slew of notices to their Facebook as they’ve picked estate sales, pur-chased collections and

bought a range of mis-cellaneous pieces.

The new acquisi-tions come along with the announcement of their new official hours. While they were previ-ously open about once or twice a month on the weekends, now they are setting down firm and official hours for the second Saturday of each month when they’ll open the show from 10 a.m. through 5 p.m.

“That’s a big change for us. We had a lot of people calling and asking when we were open, and

we wanted to have con-sistency,” owner Horner said. “We’ll probably also open an additional weekend if Prairie City is doing something or it makes sense for a sale.”

They have also begun opening a few items for rental, primarily for wed-dings. In a recent picking session, they acquired a pair of white iron can-delabra and blue-tinted Ball glass jars which will be their initial rental of-ferings.

Ways To Increase The NEAT In Your Day

NEAT (non-exercise activ-ity thermogenesis) is the energy (calories) burned from activity other than exercise. Housecleaning, doing stairs, yardwork, carrying groceries or just sitting less are part of your daily NEAT. NEAT may not be as beneficial as regular exercise, but all physical activity is key to staying healthy and independent as you age. Here are some ways to increase your NEAT, especially if you struggle to exercise. Stand while on the phone, take the stairs instead of the el-evator, park in the farthest spot from the door, jog in place during commercials, garden, wash your car, or-ganize closets, or dance around while cleaning.

State Farm welcomes new agent Walaska

State Farm recently welcomed Brock Walaska to its family of Good Neighbor Agents in Newton. Brock Walaska agency, located next to McDonald’s at 710 First Ave. E., officially opened its doors on Aug. 1.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily NewsAntiques, collectables and more can be found at One Man’s Junk, opened by Edie Simmons on July 12.

Find a treasure at One Man’s Junk

One man’s junk can now be another man’s treasure at newly opened One Man’s Junk, 412 W. Eighth St. N. Owner Edie Sim-mons has been in the antique business for a long time and after her run at Maytag ended she de-cided to open her own place.

“I sold antiques and went around to all of the antique places like in Marshalltown and Grin-nell. Then when Maytag closed I thought what can I do and I have a friend of mine that got me back into the business,” Simmons said.

One Man’s Junk has just about

anything you could want or are looking for. Dishes, jewelry, toys and much more fill the shelves and furniture overflows outside. About 80 percent of the items are antiques but she also sells col-lectables, candy, baked goods and Avon. Simmons also has an area for consignors to come in and rent a space to showcase their own merchandise. The size and price depend of what the con-signor has to sell.

Along with selling antiques, One Man’s Junk is also interested in buying antiques. She does not buy everyday, but you can check buy calling to see which days are available.

Simmons likes to keep fresh product in the store and doesn’t like items to stay longer than three months.

“I try to change my stuff all of the time and if I buy stuff I bring it in, too,” Simmons said. She is also working on having an auc-tion every six months to clear out the inventory and start new.

Even though she just opened on July 12, Simmons is looking to the future.

“I would love to expand and to have more consignors, but I would probably need more space,” Sim-mons said. She is also working to showcase more Harley Davidson items in store.

US job growth eases but tops 200K for a 6th monthWASHINGTON (AP) —

A sixth straight month of solid 200,000-plus job growth in July re-inforced growing evidence that the U.S. economy is accelerating after five years of sluggish expansion.

Employers added 209,000 jobs last month. Though that was fewer than in the previous three months, the economy has now produced an average 244,000 jobs a month since February — the best six-month

string in eight years.At the same time, most econo-

mists don’t think the pace of job growth is enough to cause the Fed-eral Reserve to speed up its time-table for raising interest rates. Most still think the Fed will start raising rates to ward off inflation around mid-2015.

The Labor Department’s jobs re-port Friday pointed to an economy that has bounced back with force

after a grim start to the year and is expected to sustain its strength into 2015. Economists generally expect it to grow at a 3 percent annual rate in the second half of this year after expanding 4 percent in the second quarter.

“There is no doubt that the economy and the labor market have been strengthening,” said California State University economist Sung Won Sohn.

Keselowski wins back-to-back U.S. Cellular 250s

On a perfect summer eve-ning for a race, it came down to three perfect laps and one perfect move at Iowa Speed-way’s season fi nale.

Brad Keselowski, the lone NASCAR Sprint Cup driver in Saturday’s NAS-CAR Nationwide Series race, proved he had the dominate car on the New-ton track Saturday night. But on the fi nal restart with four laps remaining in the 2014 U.S. Cellular 250, the race’s defending champion did not have the lead.

Michael McDowell pushed to the front of the pack on the restart follow-ing the fi fth caution of the 250-lap event. Keselowski, who led 143 laps of the race before the fi nal sprint to the fi nish line, never allowed McDowell a clear run.

“Brad defi nitely had the best car. But on those re-starts, everybody’s got a shot,” McDowell said. “I tried my best. I gave it all I had. But I just got a little too loose on (turn) three and Brad got a run on the outside.”

Keselowski went to the outside of McDowell on

the high line on Iowa’s Turn 3 and had the lead coming down the frontstretch. Kes-elowski was gone and on his way to his third win in fi ve races at Iowa Speedway.

“A really good battle,” said Keselowski of the fi nal short run of the night with McDowell. “He had me there for a minute. Some-how I slid back by him. I’m not really sure how it worked out. These wins aren’t easy to come by and I’m really proud of the ef-fort everyone put into it.”

McDowell fell to third when Trevor Bayne got past him. The part-time Na-tionwide Series driver for Joe Gibbs Racing made his own move on the fi nal lap in Turn 2. McDowell held off his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Sam Hornish Jr. and Bayne to claim second place.

Bayne ended up third but had a big payday. Bayne was one of four Nationwide Series drivers eligible for the fi nal Nationwide Dash 4 Cash bonus.

Earlier Saturday, Bayne was paired with James Dennis of Henry, Ill., who was one of four racing fans winning the fan sweep-stakes contest. Bayne and

Dennis each walked away from Iowa with a $100,000 check.

Hornish, who won May’s Nationwide Series race at Iowa, was fourth and Ty Dillon was fi fth. Nation-wide Series points leader Chase Elliott ran eighth and maintains a two-point lead over Regan Smith, who was sixth in Saturday’s race.

Cedar Rapids natives Landon Cassill and Joey Gase fi nished 13th and 24th respectively.

Bayne knocked Kesel-owski off the pole with a last-second qualifying lap Saturday afternoon.

“I’m proud of our team this weekend. I felt like we were in this thing from the beginning to the end of the weekend, whether it was practice, qualifying, the short runs, the long runs,” Bayne said. “We were a top-5 car this week-end. We hadn’t been able to put together a whole race weekend like that yet this year. This is a boost and we learned a lot and build from this.”

Brandon Jones earns fi rst K&N Pro Series win

In a race in which multiple leaders cost themselves valuable space on the track, Brandon Jones main-tained his position and then took advantage.

When some of his top challengers essentially eliminated themselves from contention with an early pit stop Friday night, Jones avoided the same mistake.

When Cole Custer, who looked like the strong favorite to win the race with 30 laps to go, then 20 laps, and then 10 laps, ended up too high out of turn two in the closing laps, Jones stayed low.

Jones outlasted the competition at Iowa Speedway to win the K&N Pro Series Auto-lite Iridium XP 150. The 17-year-old driver passed Sergio Pena with seven laps to go and then held off a charging Kenzie Ruston to secure his fi rst series win in 19 races.

“That was pretty crazy, those last few laps there,” he said. “Thought we were actu-ally going to get shuffl ed back some a little bit. Once we got out and got into clean air and get our fender a little bit of air, (I) took off for sure. Shane Huffman made some awesome calls on Pit Road and got us out front there a little bit, so I’ve got to thank him.”

The race took on a different look shortly be-fore the scheduled break at lap 75 when the four leading drivers at the time — Ben Rhodes, pole sitter Jesse Little, Brodie Kostecki and Kyle Benjamin — all pit-ted a lap earlier. Pit road hadn’t opened it, which resulted in a penalty that sent all four drivers to the back of the race.

“I was pretty sur-prised right there when everybody went,” Jones said. “I almost came too, and they were screaming at me, ‘Don’t do it, don’t do it.’”

Jones, who started sixth and ran at or inside his starting position for most of the race, came out in fourth when the race restarted on lap 76.

Custer appeared to have the strongest car and seemed to be a lock to win the race after lead-ing most of the second half. That changed when he mistakenly drove two

deep into Turn 1 and ended up losing the lead after a restart with 11 laps to go.

“Last few laps, we were checking out and then I drove in too deep and messed up and got into the loose stuff and tried to (avoid) the wall and lost four spots,” Custer said. “Just screwed us and my whole team and … we fi nished third. There’s just no excuse for that. We should’ve won.”

Ruston, whose sec-ond-place fi nish was the highest ever by a female driver in a K&N Pro Se-ries race, made a strong move on the inside to move from fourth to second with eight laps left.

“I defi nitely thought we were a little bit better there than Brandon,” she said. “We were catching him a little bit at the end. Cole, defi nitely, felt like he had us beat if he didn’t mess up right

there at the end. I spun my tires that last restart or I would’ve been right there with ( Jones) and

maybe would’ve been able to do a little some-thing with him those last fi ve laps.”

Dillon, who came into the U.S. Cellular 250 off his first career Na-tionwide Series win, had a tough go of it during qualifying. He said fin-ishing fifth was “a good recovery.”

“We were fighting from behind all night. We had a pit stop that went bad for us. We came in (to the pit stop) fifth and came out 12th,” Dil-lon said after the race. “That last cau-tion we came in and took two tires. The guys recovered well and got me out in sixth. Danny (Stockman Jr., his crew chief ) made a great adjust-ment putting two tires on it.”

Keselowski, McDowell, Brian Scott and Smith all took two tires on their cars on the final pit stop. Horn-ish, who had been running second to Keselowski, had a four-tire pit stop that dropped him back in the pack.

Bayne led the first 31 laps of the race keeping just ahead of Kesel-owski. Keselowski, who said after the race that this was probably his final trip to Iowa Speedway, claimed the lead for the next 22 laps. Elliott Sadler was out for seven laps, then Hornish pushed the front.

The battle was on between Kes-elowski and Hornish. And between Team Penske and Joe Gibbs Rac-ing in the Nationwide Series owner

championship race.“Yeah, this probably the last time

I come to Iowa and it’s good to leave with a win. We really want to win the owner championship for Roger (Pen-ske),” Keselowski said. “I’ve enjoyed the success I’ve had here. Iowa is a special place for me. The fans here and the support here are unrivaled for any other Nationwide race.”

Keselowski flew from Pennsylva-nia to Iowa on Saturday just before qualifying rounds then flew back to compete in Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway.

“This isn’t a race that Penske cir-cles and says we want to send a Cup driver to. It’s just the way it works right now with our development drivers in the trucks series. The race is a conflict,” Keselowski said. “We’ve got strong drivers coming up in the development crop. It’s important to me personally to see drivers get op-portunities like that and I know we’re working towards that at Penske.”

It was the final race weekend of the 2014 season at Iowa Speedway. One Nationwide Series fan walked away with $100,000 in the Dash 4 Cash sweepstakes. James Dennis joined his “driver” Bayne in a post-race in-terview Saturday. The two were ran-domly paired Saturday afternoon.

“It hasn’t sunk in entirely yet,”

Dennis said of this bonus check. “I couldn’t watch him all the time during the race because I thought I might jinx him. I just let him do his job and he did it well.”

Dennis joked with Bayne about how close he came to allowing Dil-lon to take the Dash 4 Cash away on

the final laps of the race. Asked what he was going to do with the money, Dennis said, “it’s going in the bank. I’ll wait for the check to clear so I know it’s real.”

Nationwide: Race ending worth the wait at Iowa SpeedwayContinued from Page 1B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily NewsSam Hornish Jr.(54) passes Elliott Sadler (11) going into Turn 3 at Iowa Speedway, taking the lead in Saturday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series U.S. Cellular 250. Hornish battled eventual winner Brad Keselowski most of the race out front, but finished fourth.

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Andre Reed delivered the emotion and man-aged to hook up for one more catch from Jim Kelly on the Pro Football Hall of Fame stage.

And leave it to Michael Strahan and his familiar gap-toothed grin to bring the laughs in closing the cer-emony honoring the seven inductees Saturday night.

The defensive end cracked he was still a little scared of former New York Giants teammate Lawrence Taylor. Strahan singled out former Philadelphia tackle Jon Runyan in the crowd and referred to him as his toughest opponent and “350 pounds of twisted steel and non-sex appeal.” And Strahan even had a kiss blown to him on stage from Kelly Ripa, his morning TV show co-host. “Thank you, baby,” he said. Strahan, one of the game’s most domi-nant pass-rushers, closed the ceremo-ny that ended just before midnight — nearly two hours later than scheduled. The ceremony went so late that Stra-han noted that it was past his bedtime and joked that if the event lasted any longer he and his fellow inductees would be considered the 2015 class. Also inducted were offensive tackle Walter Jones, linebacker Derrick Brooks, defensive back Aeneas Wil-liams, defensive end Claude Hum-phrey and Ray Guy, who became the first full-time punter to be selected. It was Reed, the former Buf-falo Bills receiver, who stole the

spotlight by closing his induction speech with a poignant surprise. Turning his back to the crowd, Reed caught a pass from Kelly before sharing a lengthy hug with his former team-mate and now fellow Hall of Famer. It was a fitting finish for a tandem that set a then-NFL record by hook-ing up 663 times in Buffalo. And it was a moment that paid homage to the quarterback, who has spent the past 14 months battling cancer. “You taught us not to quit,” Reed said about Kelly. “You have endured a lot in your life. The loss of your son, and most recently your battle with cancer. You’re an inspiration to all you touch.” Kelly was near tears, and the thousands of Bills fans in the crowd cheered. Even louder cheers went up when Reed delivered a message to any Bills prospective ownership group having an intention of buy-ing and relocating the franchise. “Oh yeah, and the Bills will stay in Buffalo, too,” Reed said. The Bills are on the block after founder and Hall of Fame own-er Ralph Wilson died in March. The ceremony began with Brooks, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers star, who was selected for induction in his first year of eligibility, and followed by the 70-year-old Humphrey, who retired after the 1981 season.

“Now they tell me I only had 10 minutes up here, but let me start off by telling you that I’ve waited 30 years to get to this podium, so don’t

rush me guys,” said Humphrey, a six- time Pro Bowl selection who split 13 NFL seasons between the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles. Guy’s wait was nearly as long. The seven-time Pro Bowl selec-tion spent his 14-year career with the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders. At 64, he was selected for induc-tion in his 23rd year of eligibility. “It’s been long, long overdue, but now the Hall of Fame has a complete team,” said Guy, who had as many as 20 former punters in the crowd to help him celebrate. “To know my leg-acy will be forever part of pro football history and that my bust will be along-side the greatest athletes of all time, it leaves this old punter speechless.” Williams livened up the mood late in his speech during which he had one side of Fawcett Sta-dium chanting: “Begin with the end in mind,” to remind people how important it is to set goals. And he had the other side chanting: “Die empty,” to re-mind people to give their all. It was a fitting message from an eight-time Pro Bowl selection. He was an accounting major at South-ern University, who walked on to the football team a week be-fore the start of his junior season. Selected in the third round of the 1991 draft, he proceeded to split 14 seasons between the Phoenix/Ari-zona Cardinals and St. Louis Rams. Williams retired after the 2004

season and was selected for induc-tion in his fifth year of eligibility. “If you would have told me, ‘Ae-neas, you have to the potential to be one of the best cornerbacks,’ I would have thought you were crazy and hit you with my right hand,” Williams said. “I’ll just take a moment to soak this all in.” Brooks, an 11-time Pro Bowl selec-tion, paid tribute to family mem-bers, teammates and coaches, from his Pee-Wee playing days to his 14 NFL seasons in Tampa Bay. He thanked his late mother Ger-aldine Brooks-Mitchell for instill-ing humility in him. He referred to former Buccaneers coach Tony Dungy as his mentor. And Brooks thanked Dungy’s successor, Jon Gruden, for helping the Buccaneers believe they could be champions. It was under Gruden when the Bucs blossomed into Super Bowl winners during the 2002 season in which Brooks earned NFL De-fensive Player of the Year honors. “There is no higher place to go in this game, and I thank you guys,” Brooks said. Jones, a nine-time Pro Bowl selec-tion who spent his 12-year career in Seattle, thanked Seahawks fans for their overwhelming support. And he was honored to be only the third player who spent their entire careers in Seattle, joining receiver Steve Largent and defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy.

Reed brings the emotion, Strahan laughs at HOF

LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. took the lead off the final restart with three laps left and won Sunday to complete a season sweep at Pocono Raceway.

Earnhardt held off the hard-charging Kevin Harvick to win for the third time this season. Earnhardt is the first driver to sweep both races at the track since Denny Hamlin in 2006.

He tweeted “Lookin for a broom” when he land-ed in Pocono. He could use one in Victory Lane.

Earnhardt also became the fifth straight Hen-drick Motorsports driver to win at Pocono. His third win, he also won the Daytona 500, ties him for the most in Sprint Cup this season.

Harvick was second, followed by Joey Logano, Clint Boywer and Greg Biffle.

Earnhardt has his most wins since he won six times in 2004.

“I can’t believe we swept Pocono,” Earnhardt said.

Earnhardt said before the race his No. 88 Chev-rolet was better than his winner in June. They were both fast enough to reach Victory Lane.

Earnhardt is enjoying a career renaissance in the final season for crew chief Steve Letarte. Hendrick Motorsports named Greg Ives the crew chief for next season once Letarte heads to the broadcast booth.

Earnhardt’s three wins are one shy of his com-bined total from 2005-2013.

“We had a fast car all day,” Earnhardt said. “Steve’s strategy was perfect at the end. I don’t know if anyone knew what was going on there, but it was pretty awesome.”

He had few cars left to hold off on the lead lap after several potential contenders got knocked out.

Hamlin triggered a 13-car wreck with 43 laps after he got sideways coming out of a turn. Brian Vickers tried to avoid Hamlin and slammed into Matt Kenseth to send cars all over the track. The pileup looked like a “Big One” straight out of Tal-ladega or Daytona, with smoking, dented and de-stroyed

cars littering the track. Tony Stewart’s No. 14 Chevrolet rested atop Paul Menard’s No. 27 Chevy.

“I can’t drive it because my car is on top of the other car,” Stewart said over the radio.

Stewart, Vickers, Menard and Matt Kenseth all visited the NASCAR care center.

“Big wrecks are always frustrating when you’re in it,” Kenseth said.

Aric Almirola said he slammed on the breaks as hard as he could, but still got “creamed from behind and pushed into the wreck.”

Hamlin was able to straighten himself out and stayed out.

Kyle Busch topped the lengthy list of stars with an early exit when the No. 18 needed a push to the garage with a variety of issues. Six-time champion Jimmie Johnson finished outside the top 10 for the fourth straight race. He fell a lap down after his rear right tire smacked the wall, rebounded to run fifth, then a second blown tire forced him to the garage.

“It wasn’t the best weekend but we still gave ourselves a chance at a win, if not a top five, today and came up a little short,” Johnson said.

Earnhardt win completes season sweep at Pocono

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Eli Manning is starting to get the hang of the New York Giants newly installed up-tempo offense.

It helped that the 11th-year quarterback got a chance to go in for a third series in the Giants’ 17-13 win over the Buffalo Bills in the preseason-opening Hall of Fame Game on Sunday night.

After Manning ended the Giants’ second series by losing a fumble on a sack, he bounced back by methodically engineering a 12-play, 80-yard drive capped by rookie Andre Williams’ 3-yard touch-down run.

“Yeah, it was big for our offense to get some-thing going, get a few first downs, get in a good rhythm,” Manning said. “I’m glad we had that one last opportunity.”

Manning went 6 of 7 for 43 yards passing, with his longest completion for 10 yards. He was complemented by a 1-2 punch of a running game made up of Williams and free-agent addition Ra-shad Jennings, who took much of the pressure off the passing attack.

The focus on a ground game is part of the new wrinkles being introduced by new offensive coor-dinator Ben McAdoo.

“I thought there were some improvements. It was a good start,” Manning said.

Rookie receiver Corey Washington scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 73-yard pass up the right sideline from backup Ryan Nassib with 13:18 remaining.

Bills backup Jeff Tuel hit Robert Woods for a 2-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-goal to put Buffalo ahead 10-7 early in the second quarter.

Astrograph

When planets are 150 degrees from one another in the sky, they join signs that have nothing in common. Their element is not the same, nor is their gender. They just can’t relate. That’s what’s going on between Mercury in Leo and Nep-tune in Pisces now. So if you feel a bit like your trapped in an elevator with strangers, blame the Quincunx.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 4). The start of your ability to focus intently and work alone will be highlighted in September. Libra and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 15, 17, 32 and 27.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The conventional wis-dom states that your sav-ings account will grow when you put money into it regularly. That could very well be the way to riches, and it most often, but not always, is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some of your experiments will lead to logical and consistent

answers. Some won’t. You’ll take note of what works for you and what doesn’t, and act accord-ingly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It will not be enough to read part of the situation all of the way through. Read all of it. Get the whole story from every person’s point of view. That will be the way to an unbiased deci-sion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Good people — tru-ly good people — can be hard to find. (And even harder to tolerate when you’re not in the mood to be so very good.) Today you’ll be on the lookout for the right mix of good and bad.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The au-thorities hate it when you complain about the oth-ers you’re working with.They will only see this as a sign of weakness. Knowing this, you’ll see the best in everyone and talk accordingly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The illogical gives way to the logical now. A base ten count-ing system will rule. So will the other rules you choose to adhere to. The mess will be cleaned up systematically.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Do not show what you feel. It will come off as melodramat-ic. Yes, you feel it. But showing it won’t help today. Instead, pursue what you need. What is it that you need?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). One of your great pleasures in life is to step past where you’re expected to end up. That’s the pleasure you will enjoy today — the satisfaction of seeing their faces.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Unexpected turns are ahead. There are some sights that go unseen — until you look back at the video or de-mand the instant replay. The Taurus in your life will be an expert at keep-ing score.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You cannot con-nect with a person until you see a bit of yourself inside him or her. You’ll meet someone new and start trying to find com-mon ground — a point of relation right away.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you speak in absolute terms like “always” or “never,” or if you offer a punishment that seems unjustifiable, you’ll trigger another to rebel. Consider that maybe you secretly want the rebellion.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You see the best in others, so they should see the best in you, right? Although, sometimes, the best of you meets the worst of someone, or vice-versa. Then it’s called drama. It also could be called “interest-ing.”
