Mike Mendenhall/Daily NewsEmily Miller of Newton answers the judge’s question during the semifinal round of the Iowa State Fair’s Jr. Cowgirl Queen Contest Friday night. The 15-year-old Miller made the first round cut to advance to the final 20 riders before being eliminated. She was one of six Jasper County riders competing in the Jr. Cowgirl contest, and another three area exhibitors competed in the Sr. Cowgirl Queen Contest.

How ‘bout them Cowgirls

By Mike MendenhallDaily News Staff Writer

DES MOINES — Rid-ers call it “the Queen’s sa-lute.” Contestants for the Iowa State Fair Cowgirl Queen Contest ride the rail inside the Jacobson Exhibi-tion Center, running their horse at a wide open speed and saluting the crowd as they gallop by. The exhibi-tor’s goal is to stop on a

dime with complete control of their steed.

Emily Miller, of New-ton, was one of 20 finalists who won the opportunity to salute the judges at the Jr. Cowgirl Queen Contest Friday night. Like most exhibitors, the Queen con-test is the culmination of several days of showing for the 15 year old. Miller be-gan the week Tuesday with 4-H competitions. She said her Paint Strawberry Roan horse earned nearly

Newton teen seriously injured in moped crash

By Abigail Pelzer Daily News Editor

A Newton teenager is hospitalized after his moped was hit by a car in a Thursday night crash.

Logan Theis, 14, of Newton, was seriously injured just before 9:30 p.m. as he was travel-ing eastbound on First Avenue.

Lea Mikkelson, 18, struck the moped with her car at the intersection of East 7th Street, said Lt. Bill Henninger, of the Newton Po-lice Department. Mikkelson is cited with failure to yield.

He was transported to Skiff Medical Cen-ter before he was taken by air ambulance to a Des Moines hospital. No further informa-tion was available about his condition.

Poker run, benefit to support

Bollhoefer cousinsBy Kate Malott

Daily News Staff Writer

Families rally together offering support and encouragement when a family member faces an unusually difficult situation. For the Bollhoefer family, they’ve had to find un-expected strength for two of their members facing dangerous diagnoses this year.

Two former Newton residents Shawn and Megan Bollhoefer are cousins who have both lived happy and healthy lives but recently have been faced with tough battles.

Shawn, who graduated form Newton in 1991 and is the son of Mike and Linda Boll-hoefer, is an avid bicyclist and, like many, en-joys such challenges as RAGBRAI.

He married classmate Wendy Olson and they have two children, Noah and Grace.

After RAGBRAI last summer, Shawn felt pain in back but dismissed it. Although un-usual, he felt it was probably a side effect to his recent long bicycle ride.

After visiting his family doctor, Shawn performed a self examination and felt a large tumor in his lower abdomen. His doctor di-rected him to a gastroenterolist.

In December, Shawn had a colonoscopy performed where the doctor gave he and

$380M hydroelectric project planned for Lake Red Rock

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

A $380 million effort to retrofit the Lake Red Rock Dam to produce hydro-electric energy for up to 61 communi-ties across four states will get underway Wednesday with a groundbreaking.

The project is overseen by Sioux Falls, S.D. based company Missouri River Energy Services (MRES), which is projecting the plant will product 36.4 megawatts of power. It claims the dam is capable of powering 18,000 homes

during peak water levels.The project, expected to be com-

pleted in 2018, will be the second largest hydroelectric facility in Iowa.

Since Aug. 4, the North Tailwater area near the Red Rock Dam, as well as a portion of a trail and several picnic areas, has been closed to the public.

“We understand that these closures will be an inconvenience to some peo-ple,” said MRES Member and Public Relations Director Bill Radio. “But they are necessary for our contractors to build the hydropower project.”

Ames man arrested following brief chase with Newton police

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

An Ames man was charged with eluding Newton police after a traffic stop shortly after midnight.

Bradley Baumann Jr., 29, briefly pulled over in the 2100 block of First Ave East before fleeing the scene, eluding officers until he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a yard on South Seventh Avenue East.

After crashing his vehicle, he fled on foot, and a perimeter was set up by the Newton Police Department, Jas-

per County’s Sheriff Office and Iowa State Patrol. A search dog was called in, but authorities found him hiding at a location on the 400 block of East 17th Street South.

Baumann had a felony warrant for his arrest for escape from a residen-tial facility. Baumann was placed in the Jasper County Jail on charges of eluding and possession of drug para-phernalia.

Nuts & Lower Risk Of Obesity

There may be an associa-tion between eating nuts and lower risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome, according to new research. The new study used data on 800 men and women. Those who ate the most tree nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pistachios, Bra-zil nuts) and the legume peanuts were 37 to 46% less likely to be obese than people who ate the least. Average consumption among the nut-eaters was about one-half ounce per day. The study also found that for every one-ounce serving of tree nuts eaten per week, a person’s risk of metabolic syndrome fell by 7%. Nuts contain un-saturated fat, plant-based nutrients, fiber and protein.

Street project on North Fourth Avenue East begins

The street improvement project on North Fourth Avenue East, between First Street North and East Fourth Street North, is scheduled to begin Monday.

Manatts Inc. will begin pavement and sidewalk removals along the south side of North Fourth Avenue East. New curb, driveways and streetscape sidewalk will then be constructed along the south side, with milling and asphalt resurfacing of the entire width of this street to follow.

While through traffic will be main-tained on North Fourth Avenue East, on-street parking along the south side of North Fourth Avenue East will be re-stricted during the project. Also the 300 blocks of East Second Street North and East Third Street North will be closed immediately south of North Fourth Avenue East during most of the proj-ect, which will result in a temporary loss of several on-street parking spaces on these two side streets.

Through traffic is advised to avoid the project area by taking an alternate route.

Keith WillsonAug. 8, 2014

Keith Willson, 89, died Aug. 8, 2014, at his daughter’s home in New-ton. Keith was born in Keystone, Dec. 27, 1924, to Wilmer and Viv-ian (Vertrees) Willson. Keith graduated from Prairie City High School in 1942, and attended Iowa State University. Keith served in the U.S. Navy from 1944-1946 as an aviation radioman.

His career included serving as the office manager of the nation’s first artificial insemination company for cattle, Dairy Genet-ics/Iowa Breeders Coop for 20 years. He was a computer programmer at IMT Insurance for another 20 years until his retirement in 1987. He was an active mem-

ber of Epworth United Methodist Church, en-joyed following the Los Angeles Dodgers, Iowa and Iowa State sports, his grandchildren’s ac-tivities, the Iowa State Fair, and visiting fam-ily and friends with his wife, Denise. After re-tirement, he volunteered for food banks, meals for the homeless, Personal Energy Transportation, and helped friends and acquaintances too nu-merous to count.

Those left to honor his memory include his daughter Barbara (Mike)

Kaldenberg of Newton and son Bill (Diana) Willson of Durango, Colo. He also has two grandchildren, Scott (Cody) Kaldenberg and Christine (Nick) Sobocinski, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

To the editor,

One of the main componets of my job is to find speakers, musicians, authors, artists and so forth as entertainment for our residents.

This week we had the privilege of having our very own Iowa State Representative Dan Kel-ley speak to us. Unfortunately, I had to leave early for a doctor’s appointment, but I was able to hear some of what Dan had to share. I am unashamedly, politically challenged, to say the least. So, thank you Dan for putting into words, and sharing of your stances on issues that will effect us all, such as marijuana, and immigration to name only a couple. I fail to watch much news these days as I get very tired of all the same old” rhetoric where politics is concerned.

As I grow older I realize in order to make a dif-ference in our world, it’s important to first start with ourselves, and then prepare to change the world! Also, if we don’t want the same old, same old, then let’s get involved and take the road less traveled, and maybe if we are lucky, others might just follow. I think Dan does give a hoot about this old state we live in, and is not afraid to speak out against which he consid-ers to be in our best interests, as voters. So, if you see Dan on the street, in a restaurant, or pumping gas, please don’t be afraid to start up a conversation with him, or ask him anything. You can be reassured that I’m pretty sure he puts his pants on the same way we all do, and will be happy to answer any questions.

Chuck and Joy Hanson own the Mason House Inn in Bentonsport, an historic, rus-tic village along the Des Moines River in Van Buren County. On July 18, Chuck was making a bed when he was overcome by a coughing fit. He began to feel light headed and dizzy. He felt himself falling, but there was nothing he could do about it. That’s the last thing he remembers.

Chuck came to in a tripod position with his knees on the floor, his rear end in the air, and his head on the floor. In falling, he had slammed his head against the wall.

Chuck’s head and the back of his neck hurt. He stumbled around in a confused state try-ing to figure out what happened. He could feel a lump forming on the back of his neck. He called out to Joy to bring him an ice pack and hot pad, that he had a whiplash injury. He laid down on the bed with the ice pack, the intention being to alternate cold and heat.

After about 30 minutes, he was feeling worse. He got up from the bed, and walked out to the kitchen where Joy was. He told her he had no feeling in his arms and legs. Joy didn’t mess around. She would drive Chuck to the emergency room in Keosauqua. Joy was scheduled for neck surgery later in the month and was wearing a soft neck collar. She took the collar off and put it on Chuck.

In Keosauqua, Chuck walked into the emergency room. An X-ray revealed that 60-year-old Chuck had fractured cervical vertebrae C1 and C2 at the base of his skull. Chuck was air-lifted to the University of Iowa Hospital.

The doctors and surgeons were stunned. They had never seen a situation like this. Fractures of C1 and C2 usually result in death, at the very least, paralysis. That Chuck was able to walk into the emergency room was unheard of. It was a miracle.

They also determined that Chuck’s loss of consciousness was the result of a vasovagal attack brought on by coughing. His heart had stopped momentarily, but Chuck had not had a heart attack or stroke.

Back to Joy. Joy had been scheduled for neck surgery at the University of Iowa Hos-pital. Yep, you guessed it. Chuck and Joy both had neck surgery, one day apart, at the U of I Hospital — a first, the hospital claims, for a husband and wife. Joy had C5 through C7 fused, while Chuck had C1 through C4 fused to his skull. Chuck and Joy were in rooms several floors apart — Joy in neurol-ogy, and Chuck in orthopedics. The hospital staff arranged for them to have “dates” — where they wheeled one into the room of the other. Chuck and Joy were both released on the same day, both in almost identical neck braces.

Now for the rest of the story. The Mason House Inn is quite well known for being haunted, or inhabited by friendly spirits. It once was a Civil War Hospital. (see www.masonhouseinn.com and read “Joy’s Notes.”) Ghost hunting classes are conducted at the inn, and Chuck and Joy are well-known speakers at paranormal conferences.

When Chuck fell, the spirits where aware of it, but were powerless to prevent the fall. They did help lower Chuck to the floor, and knew that he was out for 11 minutes. They were with Chuck on the helicopter (“flying contraption”), helped stabilize his neck, and were with Chuck and Joy at the hospital.

It is a miracle Chuck survived, and Joy and he both believe he is alive for a reason. They have been blessed. In the meantime, the Des Moines river rolls on, past the Mason House Inn, collecting tales, and repeating them, quietly, softly to those who will listen.

Mason house miracle

By Curt SwarmGuest Columnist

Charles Walgreen Sr., founder of the nation’s biggest drugstore chain, would not approve of what the manage-ment of his company is p l a n n i n g . He would never have cons idered moving his h e a d q u a r -ters address to a foreign country just to avoid paying the company’s fair share in U.S. taxes. He loved his com-munity and country too much.

How do I know? Because I’m the mayor of the small city in Il-linois where Charles Walgreen spent his formative years, went to public school and had his first ex-perience working in a drugstore. Later, after Walgreens bought a pharmacy in Chicago and grew it into a hugely successful chain, he became a major benefactor of the city of Dixon because he believed that a good business gives back. Now, instead of giving back, the company he founded soon may turn its back on our nation.

Walgreens’ management may decide by the end of July whether to renounce its corporate “citi-zenship” in the United States.

To be clear: the corporation wouldn’t move any of its 8,200 U.S. stores overseas. It likely would not move its management, employees, or headquarters off-shore. Just its corporate address would change — on paper — from Deerfield, Illinois to some-where in Switzerland, a tax haven country. With that simple switch, the company would avoid $4 bil-lion in U.S. taxes over the next five years, according to a recent analysis.

Walgreens would still derive almost all of its $72 billion in an-nual revenue from loyal Ameri-can customers. A quarter of that

income comes from public sourc-es — Medicare and Medicaid prescription payments. Even if you don’t shop at Walgreens, as a taxpayer, you’re aiding its bottom line.

Even with its new offshore address, Walgreens would still benefit from all the services U.S. taxes pay for — from roads to ed-ucation to stable markets to our legal system to national defense. But it would pay far less for that privilege, leaving American tax-payers to pick up the tab.

I’m not anti-business. I’m a small business owner myself. I believe in free enterprise. As mayor, I encourage economic de-velopment and the jobs it creates. But I also believe that Americans have the right to expect that the corporations they support with their patronage should return their loyalty.

That’s how it worked here in Dixon — and we can thank Charles Walgreen in large part for that. He saved the Dixon Na-tional Bank during the Depres-sion, donated 100 acres to create Dixon’s public golf course, estab-lished our municipal airport and even helped erect a statue to an-other Illinois success story, Abra-ham Lincoln.

Like Lincoln, Walgreen rose from humble origins. Charles R. Walgreen, Sr., was born to Swedish immigrants on a farm near Galesburg. At 14, he moved with his family to Dixon, where he attended public school, played sandlot baseball and swam in the Rock River. He worked in a lo-cal shoe factory, general store and finally found his true calling in a drug store.

He started his business after moving to Chicago as a young man, but soon returned to Dix-on. And as his business thrived, he made sure its home thrived as well. Now his successors want to abandon that ideal by abandon-ing our country.

Walgreens wouldn’t be the first corporation to try this change-of-address tax dodging trick — more than 75 others have done it since 1983. And at least a dozen other companies — including AbbVie, Medtronic, Mylan and others — are quietly planning to announce their own plans to abandon America.

If Walgreens becomes the first big retailer to abandon the Unit-ed States, it could start an even larger tide of corporate defections that could cost U.S. taxpayers al-most $20 billion over the next 10 years according to the non-parti-san Joint Committee on Taxation. More and more U.S. corporations will unscrew the nameplate on their U.S. headquarters building, tack it up in a tax haven offshore and dodge billions in U.S. taxes — all while continuing to receive all the privileges and benefits of operating here in America.

Where is their sense of shame? Where is their patriotism? Where are the morals that guided Charles Walgreen?

Unless Congress acts, we won’t be able to block these shady ma-neuvers. But I expect that many Walgreens’ customers may vote with their feet and pocketbooks, passing by the local Walgreens to shop at another drugstore chain or a neighborhood pharmacy that is paying their fair share.

Walgreens executives say they still haven’t decided whether or not to pull off this account-ing sleight-of-hand. Before they decide, they should give some thought to their founder — and also to a young kid who used to caddy for him at that public golf course he built. The caddy’s name was Ronald Reagan, another Dix-on native, whose patriotism and sense of public duty were surely encouraged by the example of Charles Walgreen.

Iowa Rep. Dan Kelley, D-Newton, is a known proponent of alternative energies and expressed strong support for House File 630 during the 2013 legislative session, which al-lows this project to receive the same sales tax credits as wind powered projects.

Kelley plans on attending the ceremony, as are a number of state officials, and is hoping the success of this project could spur devel-opment of another large hydroelectric project on the Mississippi River near Iowa’s eastern border. He said studies have shown that there are several suitable sites present in the area.

MRES projects the hydroelectric dam will create 400 to 700 construction jobs and provide an economic boom of $250 million dollars for the four county region surrounding the project.

all purple ribbons at this year’s fair — earning first and second place in every class.

Although some riders make the trip an overnight affair, Miller and her family board their animal at the ISF horse barn and com-mute from Newton daily — leav-ing for Des Moines at 5:20 a.m. to have adequate prep time. Mill-er said family support is a must have for ISF competitions.

“It takes a lot, thankfully I have my mom’s help. Without her I don’t think I could do these shows,” Miller said. “For this con-test, we work for three hours get-ting my hair and makeup all ready and giving my horse a bath.”

Miller and other Jasper Coun-ty riders competed in categories such as English pleasure, west-ern pleasure, showmanship and English pleasure trot. But the Jacobson Center is filled for the primetime crowning of the Cow-girl Queen.

Three hours before the Queen contest, the stables become a makeshift beauty salon. In front of the horse stalls, the curling irons are plugged in and mothers and makeup artists airbrush the exhibitors with foundation and

eye shadow.Spare stables are used as clos-

ets, holding saddles and saddle pads, bridals, baby powder and oil, shinning spray, hair bands and horse tailhair extensions. Hang-ing in the corner like a superhero costume are the riders’ final touch — brightly colored leather outfits covered in rhinestones.

This is the time riders mental-ly prepare. Elie Horn of Reasnor also vied for Jr. Cowgirl Queen, Friday. She said as the competi-tion approaches it become about focus.

“Before I go ride I focus on how I’m going to sit, how I’m go-ing to cue my horse — its juxta-position on the rail,” she said. “I think about every little detail so I can focus on riding (rather) than everything else that is going on around me.”

But Horn said the biggest ob-stacle she faced was the famil-iarity with her Queen horse. For her 4-H and FFA competitions early in the week, Horn rode an 8-year-old horse named Drake, but during the Queen contest she mounted a quarter horse which she had spent little time with throughout the week.

“It’s creating that bond with your horse, so when the time comes you can just get on and be confident in your performance,”

she said.For those unfamiliar with the

Queen contest, its like a beauty pageant meets rodeo. The riders are broken down into four “goes” of approximately 20 riders. Fol-lowing each go, five exhibitors move on to the final go where the Queen is crowned and four at-tendants — or runners up — are selected.

A live musician played jazz and singer standards on a synthesizer during the competition, changing the tempo and tunes as the Em-cee called out “walk your horse” and “horses at the jog on the rail.” Exhibitors have to maintain con-trol of their horse and focus on posture, cues and style while try-ing to keep a big smile.

In all, six Jasper County rid-ers took part in the Jr. Cowgirl Queen Contest and another three exhibitors competed for the title of Sr. Cowgirl Queen. The Jr. Cowgirl contestants included Mackenzie Messick of Monroe, Cheyenne Nikkel of Sully, Alexus Coleman of Monroe and Halsey Morecock of Prairie City. Sr. Cowgirl competitors were Mor-gan Arrowood of Newton, Alex Cleverly of Newton and Amber Knight of Monroe.

Iowa Republicans seek to seize Senate controlDES MOINES (AP)

— Just two more seats in the state Senate could give Iowa Republicans com-plete legislative control for the first time in nearly 20 years, kicking off a new era for conservative policies like tax cuts or abortion re-strictions.

But capturing those seats could be a challenge for the GOP in the No-vember election, given that there are limited competi-tive races and Democrats have staved off similar at-tempts in the past. Cur-rently Democrats hold a 26-24 majority in the Sen-ate chamber.

Republicans have a solid majority in the state House, with 53 seats to the Demo-cratic 47. That chamber is viewed as likely to remain in GOP hands, though Democrats are making a push to take the majority.

Senate Republican leaders said they were opti-mistic about their chances this fall, when half the seats in the 50-member senate are up.

“I’m encouraged by our candidates,” said Senate Republican Leader Bill Dix, of Shell Rock. “I think we have top shelf people who want good govern-ment and want to make

sure we’re not spending more than we’re taking in.”

Democratic Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, of Council Bluffs, said he expected Democrats would main-tain the majority.

“Generally speaking if people found their way to the statehouse once, they can do it again,” Gronstal said.

In recent years, law-makers have found ways to work together in Iowa, one of just three states with a politically divided legisla-ture. During the 2013 leg-islative session, they found bipartisan agreement on a

major tax cut, new educa-tion spending and an ex-pansion of Medicaid.

Dealing with a divided government isn’t unusual in Iowa. The state has had one Democratic and one Republican U.S. senator for nearly 29 years and the four House seats are evenly split. The state’s redistrict-ing process — in which a team of non-partisan ana-lysts draw the congressio-nal and legislative bound-aries — helps ensure the districts reflect the elector-ate, unlike in other states where legislators can shift boundaries for partisan ad-vantage.

plats, which are currently enclosed in more than 234 binders, would be scanned. These records date from 1988 to mid-1999.

Nancy Parrott, county recorder, previously said this project would help clear space in her office’s vault, enable citizens to access the records online at the Iowa Land Record website and providing an alternate to the antiquated micro-film system her office currently employs.

She also highlighted how this move would fall in line with the other steps the county has taken toward emergency preparedness.

Parrott’s office has $30,000 in its budget to fund the project and is hoping the board will provide the remaining funds.

The board tabled its decision last week to fur-ther review the contract that was presented to them by Columbus-Ohio-based Cott Systems — which would conduct the scanning and store the backup scans — after the company amended it last Monday.

Denise Allan, deputy county recorder, will present the office’s monthly report on Parrott’s behalf at the meeting. According to the agenda, the office collected $17,936.73 in July.

In other business, Paul Bleeker, co-owner of the Capitol II Theatre, will ask the board’s per-mission to use a portion of the courthouse lawn for a public tailgate of the Iowa State and Uni-versity of Iowa football game on Sept. 13.

DEAR ABBY: It disturbs me great-ly that we keep reading about parents leaving their children in cars, whether it be absentmindedness, stress or down-right intentional. It needs to stop.

I’m hoping car manufacturers can come up with an idea — maybe a sen-sor that once the doors are closed and locked, should there be motion or a sound in the vehicle, the windows would automatically open, giving a passer-by a chance to see inside and maybe save a precious life. — FRUSTRATED BY “PREMATURE” ANGELS

DEAR FRUSTRATED: You are not the only one who is disturbed by these recent tragedies. They are on the minds of a lot of people lately. Today’s mail brought a suggestion from another reader who is hoping to put an end to the loss of these fragile young lives. A mother in Westland, Michigan, offered this:

DEAR ABBY: I have a suggestion for parents. TALK to your children when they are in the car with you. I always carried on a conversation, sang or counted to my kids, even newborns, and continued through the years they were rear-facing and forward-facing. It helped them to learn their ABCs, count, and even know where streets were. It was also a running reminder that someone very special was with me. I never listened to the radio, unless it was nursery rhymes on DVD or toddler songs. It not only helped me teach my children, but it also made driving fun and safe for the tiny passengers in my car. — D.W.K.

READERS: A nonprofit group called KidsAndCars suggests that par-ents “place something they will need (when exiting the vehicle), such as a cellphone, handbag or briefcase, near the child in the back seat. Or keep a large stuffed animal in the child’s car seat when it’s not occupied. When the child is in the car seat, place the stuffed animal in the front passenger seat as a

reminder that the child is in the back.“And tell the child’s day care center

or baby sitter that they will always be called if your child isn’t coming in as scheduled. If the child is absent with-out an explanation, the day care center or baby sitter is expected to contact a parent or another designated caregiver.”

I would not recommend an auto-matic device because it could fail.

DEAR ABBY: I am friends with a couple who have been married for three years. I have worked with the wife since before their wedding. The wife is overt-ly sexual toward me and has cheated on her husband with many men during the last year.

I’ll be changing jobs soon and think the husband should know what his wife has been doing. Should I send him an anonymous letter? Tell him in person? Or let him find out for himself in the future? — TROUBLED FRIEND IN DETROIT

DEAR TROUBLED: Because the woman is “overtly” sexual with you, it’s likely the husband already has an in-kling. Whether you decide to tell him his wife is cheating with multiple men depends on whether YOU would want to be told. But this I can tell you em-phatically: This information should not be conveyed in an unsigned letter from a “friend.”

Rowen ready to guide Cardinal volleyball program

Volleyball is a passion for Laura Rowen. She readily admits that fact.

“I’m very passionate about the sport. Volley-ball is a huge sanctuary for me,” Rowen said. “I want to coach so my players love the game as much as I do and have fun playing it.”

Rowen is Newton High’s new head volleyball coach. Although practices began today for the 2014 volley-ball season, Rowen is not new to Newton or the Car-dinal volleyball players.

Rowen coached the NHS junior varsity squad the past two years. With the retirement of longtime head coach Kim Florke at the end of the 2013 season, Rowen applied for the head coaching position.

She was told in January the job was hers.“I went to work right then, making plans and

putting them together,” Rowen said. “Things have gone really well heading into the season. We had open gym two days a week this summer where we worked on hitting arm swings.

“And we just got in and played a little and had fun with it. We also lifted. The girls have really responded well.”

Rowen is an Eldora native, but moved to Hampton as a freshman in high school. The multi-sports high school athlete went on to play volleyball at University of Northern Iowa.

Following college, Rowen was the head vol-leyball coach at Columbus-Waterloo.

She said she was searching for the right teaching-coaching fi t. Rowen said she has fam-ily in Newton and began looking into a part-time physical education position in the Newton school district.

“I had been doing some at-risk education at Waterloo and Newton was in the progress of im-plementing an at-risk program. They (Newton) encouraged me to look at that position,” Rowen said. “I love it. If I’m not teaching P.E., this is the area I want to teach in.”

Rowen teaches in the Newton I-Launch pro-gram with freshmen and sophomores. She also

teaches health education at NHS.There was a volleyball position open at New-

ton as well, which Rowen accepted at the same time.

“I went into education because I love working with kids, but I wanted to get in the volleyball coaching aspect of it as well,” she said.

Going into her fi rst year as head coach, Row-en said the transition has been smooth. Newton graduated a large senior class of varsity players at the end of last year.

“A lot of the girls I have on the varsity this year, I coached on the junior varsity the past two years. We’ve made the transition together,” she said. “We just fi nished our camp (last week) and all the players are excited. They are hard workers.”

Rowen said she is a coach who stresses funda-mentals — “if you can’t pass, you can’t do any-thing. It all starts there. As a team you identify your strengths and build on that.”

Rowen was an outside hitter in high school and college volleyball. She said she played vol-leyball all year round plus competed in high school basketball, track and softball.

“I encourage students to be active in all the sports they want to be in,” she said. “Being active in sports is not just about the competition but building relationships.”

Building relationships on and off the volley-ball court is another important factor in Rowen’s coaching philosophy. She said she wants to set them up to be successful in the game of volley-ball, but also for life itself.

Rowen’s staff for this season includes Mallory Sturz, who moves up from coaching the fresh-man squad to junior varisty. Shareah Sharp is Rowen’s varsity assistant coach. Jennifer Mouch-ka and Michaela Wood will coach the freshman team.

“We’re excited to get the season started. We’re out to encourage students and other fans to come out and fi ll the gym at home. We want it loud in our gym,” Rowen said. “On Oct. 7, we’ll have a ‘Dig Pink’ night to support breast cancer awareness. We’ll be selling pink shirts and want to have a sea of pink in the stands that night.”

Family is important to Rowen as well as her teaching and volleyball. She has fi ve nieces and nephews in the area to watch grow up.

CMB receiver gives verbal to D-I school

BAXTER — Bryce Kemp described his verbal commitment to play NCAA Division I football as “a weight lifted off my shoudlers.”

Kemp, who is entering his senior season at Collins-Maxwell/Baxter, gave a verbal commitment July 31 to play at Eastern Michigan.

The Raider wideout caught 28 passes for 604 yards and 11 touchdowns a season ago. Of all players with at least 25 re-ceptions last fall, Kemp’s 21.6 yards per catch average was 12th highest in the state.

“My visit was great there,” he said. “Really nice to me. They took me around and showed me around cam-pus. I got to sit in with the coaches and they talked to me, even talked to the head coach the fi rst time I got to visit there, so that was really nice.”

Eastern Michigan’s head coach is Chris Creigh-ton, who was hired in December after 17 seasons as the head coach at Drake. Creighton compiled a school-record 139-46 mark and won eight Pioneer Football League conference championships.

“I love the coaches there. They’re all great,” Kemp said. “Coach Creighton is new there. He was formerly the head coach at Drake and brought that program up, so I’m ready to see what he’s going to do at Eastern Michigan.”

Schatz nearly perfect in eighth Knoxville Nationals title win

KNOXVILLE — For the eighth time, Donny Schatz leaves the Knox-ville Raceway with the title of cham-pion. Schatz captured Saturday’s $150,000 win in the 54th annual FVP Knox-ville Nationals presented by Casey’s General Stores.

Taking off from the pole, Schatz led Shane Stewart into the fi rst turns. On Lap 3, Brian Brown took advantage of the restart to begin his chase for second, gaining that spot nine laps later.

Leading by 2.874 seconds at the Lap 25 break for fuel, the restart saw Schatz stalked by Brown as the green fl ew. Working the cushion, Brown kept pace, fi nally taking his shot at the lead on Lap 44.

Taking the lead with a high-side pass exiting the second turn, Brown brought the entire crowd of the Knoxville Raceway to its feet with resounding cheers that quickly drowned out the sounds of engines.

Pulling to the bottom groove in turns three and four, Brown swapped his line the following lap, giving Schatz the chance to shoot the berm and retake the lead on Lap 45.

“Racing is all about making deci-sions, and I was just getting so slow around the bottom of one and two. I thought ‘well, I could just keep the tires under me maybe no one’s go-ing to get that run,’” Schatz said of Brown’s pass to the lead.

“I just couldn’t get the top go-ing that well then it cleaned off and Brian (Brown) got by...went to the bottom...I tried to stay with him, and when he went to the top at the other end, I was able to get back by him. I know he’s going to beat me one of these days. I hope it’s no time soon,

but he’s a hell of a racer.”Finishing runner-up for the third

consecutive year, Brown crossed 1.243 seconds behind Schatz’s STP No. 15.

“I fi gured I had to go when I could. I kind of rode along as long as I could there and made my move,” said Brown. “Once I made my move, I took his line away in the corner and thought okay, that was pretty good but I didn’t want togo down there and miss it and went back to the top and gave him another shot but I’ll tell you what, at least this year, we kept him honest.”

Kerry Madsen ran third and took the podium in his eighth A-Feature appearance, posting his best fi nish in the FVP Knoxville Nationals. Craig Dollansky grabbed the fourth spot with Justin Henderson taking fi fth after starting eighth.

Paul McMahan was sixth fol-lowed by Terry McCarl in seventh, Mark Dobmeier eighth, Joey Saldana ninth, and Kraig Kinser was 10th.

Brad Sweet was the night’s Hard Charger from 23rd to 13th. Brian Brown’s runner up fi nish clenched the Mr. Sprint Car Title.

Jimmy Light grabbed the win in the E-F eature. D-Feature honors went to Brad Loyet. The night’s C-Feature was won by Dale Blaney after a very rough start that saw 11 drivers receiving damage. All drivers were unharmed.

Saturday night’s B-Feature was won by Brooke Tatnell with Clint Garner making his fi rst A-Feature in the FVP Knoxville Nationals. Brad Sweet from eleventh was third with Lee Jacobs taking the fi nal transfer to the A-Feature.

Rookie of the Year honors went to Andy Gregg. Best Appearing Crew went to Wayne Johnson Racing and Best Appearing Car was given to the No. 1d driven by JustinHenderson.

Brown’s second place fi nish clinched the Jesse Hockett “Mr. Sprint Car Title”, and cemented his strong run during Cox Design.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) — Tony Stewart pulled out of the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen Sun-day, 12 hours after the three-time champion struck and killed a sprint car driver who had climbed from his car and was on the darkened dirt track trying to confront Stewart during a race in upstate New York.

In a statement, Stewart said the crash has been “emotional” for all involved.

“There aren’t words to describe the sadness I feel about the accident that took the life of Kevin Ward Jr.,” he said.

Wendy the news. It was advanced colon cancer.

Shawn found an on-cologist, Dr. Michael Guffy at Ames Greeley Medical Center, who began his treatment with surgery to remove the the large mass along with 11 lymph notes. It was just the beginning of a series of hard treat-ments, and Shawn was sent home on Christ-mas Eve.

In January, Shawn started the first of 12 chemotherapy treat-ments. The treatments were divided in half because of the sever-ity of chemo, with 38 radiation treatments in between.

“It was a quick pro-cess, but I’ve had tons of help along the way,” Shawn said.

Shawn has learned a lot about a world he knew nothing about, from the day he walked onto the cancer floor to hearing others sto-

ries about survival. His gratefulness, thanks and appreciation is evi-dent, and his love for his family a source of motivation.

Throughout the year, there have been good days and bad days, but Shawn has remained nothing but positive.

“You can’t look for-ward, you can’t look back. It’s just a one-day-at-a-time thing,” he said.

“Shawn has always been a great guy, es-pecially this last year. His character has re-ally shone this last year. Never once has he complained or not lived a normal life,” longtime friend Darin Swarts said. “He still has made sure Wendy, Noah and Grace remained his fo-cus.”

Shawn has recently finished his 11th round of chemothearpy and will finish his treat-ment shortly after the benefit.

Right around the same time Shawn start-ed to feel more ill, his

cousin Megan, who graduated from New-ton in 2002 and is the daughter of Chris and Karen Bollhoefer, start-ed to feel ill as well. She had become short of breath, tired and had no appetite.

One morning in January, Megan went to shovel the drive-way at her new home in Estherville when she passed out, hit her head and woke up some time later confused and frightened.

After going to the emergency room, nurs-es and doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with her after perform-ing blood work.

Later, they found the right side of her heart was enlarged and there were blood clots in her lung. She had a tissue plasminogen activator infusion drip to break up the blood clots in her lungs, and she be-came swollen, gain-ing 20 pounds of extra fluid.

It was a tempo-rary solution, but one that wouldn’t keep her stable for long. In the spring, she went to the Mayo Clinic in Roch-ester, Minn., and spent a week going from doc-tor to doctor, looking for answers.

Megan found out she had chronic throm-

boembolic pulmonary hypertension, a deadly blood clotting disease which creates high blood pressure in lung arteries.

The only answer or potential cure for a person with CTEPH is a pulmonary endar-terectomy, a high-risk, major operation involv-ing a bypass machine to remove the dangerous blood clots in the lungs that block blood flow.

For this operation, Megan will travel to the Sulpizio Cardio-vascular Center at the University of Califor-nia San Diego. From Aug. 26 to 29, there will be a standard test-ing period, and the surgery will occur on Sept. 3. The procedure is an 8 to 10 hour sur-gery where doctors will cool her body to just above freezing, drain all blood, pull the rib cage open and remove the blood clots.

“I’m ready,” Megan said. “It’s the only pos-sible thing that can be done to cure all the damage that’s been done.”

For the surgery, Chris, Karen, sis-ter Rachel Purvis and friend Brianne Ferneau will stay with Megan throughout her stay in San Diego.

Megan said she is

overwhelmed with the outpouring of support from everyone in both her current community and Newton.

“It’s really heart-warming to know there are really a lot of good people there,” she said. “Everyone has been wonderful and great. It ’s nice to know people are praying for you. It helps a lot.”

Shawn and Megan will be the focus of the Bollhoefer Cous-ins Fighting the Fight poker run and ben-efit on Saturday. Their families are hosting the events to further their support for the two.

The poker run will begin at 11 a.m. with registration starting at 10 a.m. The ride will start at the American Legion and then head to Cadillac Jacks in Baxter followed by RJ’s in Kellogg, D&T Tap in Reasnor and Mike’s Lounge in Monroe.

The run will end up back at the Legion in Newton. The cost is $15 per couple or $10 per person. The winner will be announced at the American Legion at 6 p.m.

The benefit will be from 5 to 10 p.m. at the American Legion with food and beverages as well as a silent auction items and 50-50 raffle

“Megan and Shawn have both been ex-tremely positive and brave considering what they’re facing. They’re both so focused on getting healthy, which is the most important thing,” Rachel said. “I’m amazed and in-spired by both of them. They’ve been nothing but strong and resilient through all of it.”

“We’re Bollhoefers. We’re fighters. We don’t give up,” Megan said. “We all have our own battle of fighting, but we just keep en-couraging each other.”

All proceeds of the poker run and benefit will be shared among Shawn and Megan and go toward their medical expenses.

The family invites everyone to the poker run and benefit Satur-day.

Astrograph

Maybe you didn’t have a monumental party last night, but it still feels like you did. If the day after the full moon feels like New Year’s Day, the day after a supermoon feels like New Year’s Day in the year 2000. There’s a bit of cleanup and a lot of piecing the details togeth-er in order to remember all that went down.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 11). You’ve been a good friend to yourself, so get yourself a nice gift to celebrate! Your tastes are evolving, and so is your environment. In six weeks’ time, you will feel like a new ver-sion of yourself — body, mind and spirit. Romance makes September interest-ing and October adven-turesome. Invest in educa-tion in November. Virgo and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 13, 29, 3 and 18.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your empathetic gifts are strong today, and you’ll be among the spiritu-ally wounded. You won’t need words to work your magic. You’ll heal some-

one with a glance, a smile or a pat on the back.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Like the caterpillar to a butterfly, the changes that seem miraculous are nonetheless quite com-mon, natural and happen-ing to millions the world over. Relax and let the transformation take hold.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A fascinating interac-tion will be featured. Ac-tion makes things happen that could never happen if you only used words. Make your move, and pay attention to how the others counter it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If there’s one thing you do not want to be today, it’s dependent. Shed your dependency, and suddenly you’ll be freer and more powerful with a clear sense of purpose.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Truly, less is more. Some things only take up room, and it’s time to get rid of them. You’ll be made aware of the extra baggage in your life — the things you don’t use, don’t

need and have no attach-ment to.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As you sort out a minor fiasco, consider that people are only doing what comes naturally given the circumstances. If the thunder didn’t make an awful racket, it wouldn’t be thunder.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re a cheerleader and a source of encouragement for those lucky enough to be in your circle these days. Witnessing the hap-piness of others is a great source of pleasure for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your welcoming nature and genuine inter-est will make the walls between people come crumbling down. This is not a small gift, though it comes to you so easily.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When new people join you, it’s always an adjustment, but you’re happy to make it. There are others in your group who need more time and exposure to get used to new people.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s a pressure to keep someone entertained.Just know that it’s completely within your capacity — but should you? It will only set up an expectation that you might, in time, grow tired of fulfilling.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The centrifugal force that spirals a galaxy is based on the same thing that keeps you spiraling around a certain someone: attraction. It’s huge. Dis-count the powers of attrac-tion at your own risk.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may feel that you’re working at cross-purposes with another. This can be overcome, but not through force. Com-municate until you can come to an agreement.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily NewsJeff Roush, owner of The Jewelers Bench, sits at his bench ready to repair or create jewelry for Newton area residents and more.

Local jeweler opening shop close to home

After taking a jewelry class during his senior year of high school in Newton, Jeff Roush figured out what he wanted to study in college.

He attended Gem City School of Horology in Quincy, Ill. and found jewelry making fun and easy, and decided to pursue it as a career.

“Most jewelry retail stores just sells the stuff, they don’t work on it, fix it, do anything to it. They send it out to jewelers that ac-tually do the work and for years that’s been me. I had the largest shop in Des Moines for years and years,” Roush said. While in Des Moines, he owned The Jew-elers Bench and custom design and repair jewelry shop. During his busiest times, he employed 12 other jewelers and did work for all of the local jewelry stores as well as stores all over Iowa.

“At Christmas time it would be crazy, I would maybe work on a 100 sizings a day,” Roush said. He also did work for Newton’s jewelers. “If anybody bought anything or did anything with Morgan’s Jewelers, which is the main jeweler here in town, I would have done the work any-way. They’ve already been doing business with me, they just didn’t realize that I was the guy behind the scenes,” Roush said.

Roush is now bringing his tal-ents to his home and wants to work with the people of Newton for their jewelry needs.

“What I want to do here in Newton is just be of service to the local community. I will sell, make and create custom made products, just like I have for 30 some years,” Roush said. Work-ing primarily with gold, silver and platinum, Roush will also take a look at costume jewelry to see if it can be repaired. He also does watch battery replace-

ment and some repair. In his newly created shop, he has all of the tools, such as drills, cleaners and polishers, to repair jewelry as well as create custom pieces.

The Jewelers Bench is not a retail store, so there is no merchandise on hand to buy. Unique, custom pieces can be created, with customers picking out their stone from a selection that Roush has, as well as being a part of the design of the metal work.

With a proud look, Roush also tells how his son has followed in his footsteps and become a jew-eler himself. Attending the same college as his dad, Roush’s son now works in Des Moines and is continuing the “family business.”

For more information or for business, call Roush at (641) 521-7701.

US productivity recovers after fallWA S H I N G T O N

(AP) — U.S. workers were more productive in the April-June quar-ter and labor costs rose slightly, a sharp turn-around from grim first-quarter figures.

The Labor Depart-ment said Friday that that productivity in-creased 2.5 percent at a seasonally adjusted an-nual rate, after plum-meting 4.5 percent in the first quarter. That was the steepest drop in 31 years, and reflected a sharp 2.1 percent con-

traction in the economy. Economists blamed most of that shrinkage on temporary factors, such as harsh weather and a cutback in stock-piling by businesses.

Productivity mea-sures output per hour of work. Greater pro-ductivity increases liv-ing standards because it enables companies to pay their workers more without having to in-crease prices, which can boost inflation.

Labor costs rose just 0.6 percent, after surg-

ing 11.8 percent in the first quarter. But labor costs shrank in the sec-ond half of last year and in the past 12 months have increased just 1.9 percent.

The Federal Reserve keeps close watch on productivity and labor costs for any signs that inflation may be accel-erating.

Productivity grew just 0.9 percent in 2013, 1 percent in 2012 and just 0.1 percent in 2011, according to revised fig-ures released Friday.
