Putting the ART in HeART

Calling all artists, art enthusiasts or anyone looking for a fun time — the inaugural Hillbilly HeART Festival in Mingo kicks off July 12

The City of Mingo is ready to show off a lot of hard work with the inaugural Hillbilly HeART Festival July 12. A celebration of art and community, the festival features a variety of activities throughout the day for everyone in the family from interactive bike art to live music.

“The Hillbilly HeART Festival is a passion project spearheaded by Mingo Hometown Pride, our dedicated community board focused on beautification and outreach,” organizer Molly Johnson said. “The initial spark came from Michelle Smith of Mingo Hometown Pride and countless hours of behind-thescenes work, including seeking grants and sponsorships. This free event is truly a testament to the ‘elbow grease, love and time’ contributed by our board members, local community, sponsors and talented local artists.”

The event has activities such as a tiny art show and silent auction where people can view

mini masterpieces and bid on their favorites and interactive bike art letting people get creative with bikes and paint. The Kids Corner will have hands-on activities aimed at younger artists, and everyone can enjoy live music by Nick Ryan throughout the day.

“Our focus on art stems from the belief that it’s a universal language — the perfect way to

welcome visitors, celebrate our community and continue to build a lasting legacy in Mingo,” Johnson said. “The festival is also deeply intertwined with Iowa’s bicycling culture. It coincides with the free, annual Hillbilly Bike Ride along the Chichaqua Valley Bike Trail, which passes right through Mingo.”

Jasper County secures $500K grant for third phase of F-48 project

Jasper County has received another grant for the F-48 West resurfacing project.

County Engineer Michael Frietsch told the board of supervisors on July 1 that the secondary roads department secured a $500,000 grant through the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for the third phase of the F-48

West resurfacing, which stretches from Colfax to Mitchellville.

“So we got over $900,000 on the first phase and then we got a half-million on the second phase and another half-million on this one,” Frietsch said. “We’ve got a pretty good amount of grant funding for this project altogether … I got the funding agreement that would basically be for us here.”

Currently, crews are

Tell us a little about yourself: I was born and raised outside of Monroe. My parents built a house on part of my grandparents’ farm when I was a baby. My aunt built a house just over a few hills on the same farm. We have all helped out with my grandparents’ cattle operation for as long as I can remember. I started helping show my grandparents’ cattle at the Iowa State Fair when I

In addition to the resurfacing of widening of the road, the third phase of the F-48 West project will replace a bridge and

Congregate meals contracts renewed for Monroe and Colfax sites

Program director for Senior Nutrition says steady group of people attend meals

Two congregate meals sites have had their agreements with Jasper County renewed for another year. Colfax Senior Citizens Center in Colfax and The Gathering Place in Monroe will continue hosting meals, which are provided each weekday at 11:30 a.m. in their respective locations.

Kelli Van Manen, program director of Jasper County Senior Nutrition, said there are no changes to the contracts from the previous year. Van Manen told the board of supervisors during the July 1 meeting that both sites

seem to be going well. She was hoping for more growth, but there is a steady group of people.

“They really benefit from the programs being held there, so at this time I’d like to stay as is and reevaluate it every year,” Van Manen said.

Supervisor Brandon Talsma asked Van Manen if the Colfax site coordinates other events or activities during meal times like The Gathering Place in Monroe. Van Manen said Colfax tries but not like The Gathering Place, which has “really tapped into a lot of resources” to amplify the

relocate a nearby curve.

The bridge, classified as Bridge O10, is located along F-48 West near West 124th Street South. Frietsch said the bridge will be replaced with twin box culverts. The bridge resides on a curved portion of F-48 West. He proposed the curve be moved northwest, which would make the final product much wider.

The county will have to acquire 6.3 acres of

right-of-way easement and vacate about 9.2 acres. The project needs a 120-foot corridor.

“We’re not going to get anything back from vacating it,” Frietsch said. “We’re going to pay for 6.3 acres. I haven’t calculated it up yet. But, yes, it is going to be costly. It’s going to be a chunk of change … That road is going to get raised up about a foot on that curve, too, in order to get the box culverts to work.”

When the county vacates the old curve, Frietsch said the road surface will be taken out during the construction phase and then crews will restore the ground back to agriculture land. The concrete will likely be hauled off by the contractor to a landfill or reuse it as riprap provided there isn’t any rebar. Existing box culverts located underneath the road also need repaired.

Meet the Jasper County Equine Senior Cowgirl Queen Addison

Tell us a little about yourself: My name is Addison Kerwin, I’m from Melbourne and I just graduated from Baxter High School. I am currently a member of the Baxter FFA chapter. I’ve had horses since I was just three years old, through the years I’ve been lucky enough to have over 10 different horses. My current horse Iris Storm Cat aka Ruby is my latest purchase in 2024.

What is your favorite part of caring for them? My favorite part of caring for my horses is how calming they are most the time. They really feed off your energy. How do you prepare them to show? Most the time when I’m preparing to show I run around like a chicken with my head cut

Hot weather safety tips for your pets

We all love spending the long, sunny days of summer outdoors with our furry companions, but it’s important to remember that like any season, summer comes with its hazards. To make sure you’re prepared for whatever comes your way this summer, check out this list of summer safety tips from experts at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC).

Visit the vet for an early-summer checkup. Make sure your pets get tested for heartworm if they aren’t on yearround preventative medication.

Give pets plenty of fresh, clean water when it’s hot or humid outdoors as pets can get dehydrated quickly. Make sure your pets have a shady place to get out of the sun, be careful not to over-exercise them and keep them indoors when it’s extremely hot.

Know the symptoms of overheating in pets, which include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, stupor or

even collapse. Symptoms can also include seizures, bloody diarrhea and vomit along with an elevated body temperature of over 104 degrees. Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle. Not only can it lead to fatal heat stroke, but it’s illegal in several states!

Know that animals with flat faces, like Pugs and Persian cats, are more susceptible to heat stroke since they cannot pant as effectively. These pets, along with the elderly, the overweight and those with heart or lung diseases, should be kept cool in air-conditioned rooms as much as possible.

Do not leave pets unsupervised around a pool. If you plan on spending

time near a pool, lake or beach with your pet, make sure you give them fresh water and avoid letting them drink from the pool, or ingest ocean or lake water. When swimming, introduce your pets to water gradually and make sure they wear flotation devices when on boats. Rinse your dog off after swimming to remove chlorine or salt from their fur. Keep all unscreened windows or doors in your home closed and make sure adjustable screens are tightly secured. Open unscreened windows pose a real danger to pets, who often fall out of them.

Feel free to trim longer hair on your dog, but never shave your dog. The layers of dogs’ coats pro -

tect them from overheating and sunburn. Brushing cats more often than usual can prevent problems caused by excessive heat. And be sure that any sunscreen or insect repellent product you use on your pets is labeled specifically for use on animals.

Don’t let dogs linger on hot asphalt when the temperature is very high. Being so close to the ground, your pooch’s body can heat up quickly, and sensitive paw pads can burn. Keep walks during these times to a minimum.

Use caution when using herbicides and insec-

ticides. When applying these products to your yard it is best to keep your pet away from the area being treated, follow directions on the packaging and prevent your pet from accessing the area until it is dry or has been appropriately watered. Fertilizer exposures are also more common in the summer, and while typically not serious, they can cause some stomach upset and should still be treated seriously. Keep fertilizers out of reach and your pet out of the treated area until it is dry. Additionally, keep citronella candles, tiki torch products and insect coils of out pets’ reach as well. Be mindful of what you are planting in your garden. Being outdoors means  more exposure to different types of plants — both ornamental and garden plants. It’s important to familiarize yourself with the plants in your yard or garden and the potential hazard they may pose to your pets. Identifying possibly harmful plants ahead of time may prevent unwanted exposures. Always keep an eye on your pet when they are outside as even non-toxic plants can cause stomach upset if ingested.

Mingo resident and local artist Emily Perry, who also founded the Station Street Cycle Shop, had a vision on how to bring all of these elements together. As a part of the Mingo Hometown Pride Board of Directors, she worked to make the event something truly special by sparking the idea for Mingo’s first art festival.

“We’re incredibly excited to host this event and offer free activities that promise fun for all ages. Our planned activities

don’t require specific artistic skills; we simply want people to release their inner artists and have fun,” Johnson said.

“We’ve even sourced biodegradable paint for a few activities, including one where bike riders can roll through paint and leave their mark on a canvas. Don’t worry if you didn’t ride in, we’ll have bikes available for everyone.”

Although Mingo is located in rural Jasper County, Johnson, along with her fellow organizers are working to make sure it has a spot on the map.

“These types of events are crucial because they remind the world that we are here,”

Johnson said. “Mingo is a fantastic example of rural Iowa — a great community where people raise families, businesses thrive and a wonderful bike trail connects us to other parts of the state. Many people think there’s ‘nothing out here,’ but they’re truly missing out on something amazing. By starting an arts festival, we hope to continue our legacy, attract new visitors, celebrate those with ties to this region and honor everyone who calls Mingo home.”

congregate meals site. “Every community should do what The Gathering Place and what Monroe has done,” Van Manen said. “But that’s hard to have the people willing to do it. But the Colfax Senior (Citizens) Center, they are very dedicated people that have been with it for a long time.”

According to the contracts, Jasper County will pay both Colfax Senior Citizens Center, 1 E. Howard St.,

and The Gathering Place, 113 S. Monroe St., a monthly rental fee of $400 to use their facilities for meals sites. Congregate meals are also available Jasper County Community Center, 2401 First Ave. E., in Newton. In 2023, the supervisors authorized the congregate meals site in Monroe to move from City Hall to The Gathering Place due to low attendance. Shortly after, The Gathering Place requested higher rent. The facility was initially being paid $200. Colfax then increased its asking price in 2024. Both were approved.

year at PCM High School and I am currently 17 years old.

My projects this year include a red angus heifer and two market steers. I got all three of them in October and have been working with them daily ever since. I am also helping my little sister with her first 4-H project, a little red angus heifer born in December to my first 4-H show heifer.

What is your favorite part of caring for them? I love the daily time with my cattle and my grandparents. My grandma is the sweetest and greets me every morning so if I don’t have to rush off to one of my other activities, she always offers me some coffee or breakfast in the morning or a soda or supper in the evening. I also like getting to see the personalities in my cattle develop. They make me laugh every day, and I know they enjoy all of the pampering they receive.

How do you prepare them to show? In October, I begin halter breaking them. First, I just sit on a bucket next to them while they

eat then I work up to brushing them while they eat and putting a halter on. Then it’s onto tying them while they eat and leading them to water. Then we work our way into walking longer distances and working with a show stick to teach them how to set up. That’s the part that I know how to do at least. Our feed specialists at Two Rivers Coop have always helped me put together their diets and make changes to get them ready for the show ring. Do you have any funny stories with your animal? One time I was about to walk into a ring and the steer in front of me squirted liquid diarrhea all over the front of me so I was covered from

my hair to my shirt to my jeans and to my shoes. I didn’t know what to do next so I just kept on showing like nothing happened. I might not of thought it was funny but my family sure did. What made it ven better was I won Champion Red Angus Steer that day at Iowa Junior Red Angus Field Day What did it mean to you to be selected as queen? I have known the other beef queens over the years and have always looked up to them. They show dedication to their livestock and their farming families and they always carry themselves with kindness and humility inside and outside of the show ring. I want to be someone to look up to and fol-

low in their example.

What are you looking forward to at the Jasper County Fair? I am looking forward to doing all the things and hanging out with the people I love. I was fortunate to have a group of friends that have been in 4-H with me since I was little and we would do all the contests and activities together. Hanging in the barn and doing chores together, hanging out around my friends’ campers, buying snow cones, building floats and going all out for our crazy parade themes, going to the dance; it’s all fun and there are always stories to be told afterwards. What would you tell other kids looking to get involved with animals or 4H/FFA? I would tell them to try all the things and take in all the experiences. It can be so much fun if you get involved and find your group of people. Animals are super rewarding but also costly, don’t feel like you need an animal to be involved with 4H/FFA. If you decide to try animals I would suggest a mentor to help ease the process and supply the needed supplies. There are plenty of people that are willing to help get you started!

off. We ride consistently every night to get them fit for fair and rodeo.

Do you have any funny stories with your animal?

My funniest sorry with Ruby is probably the time she ran me over in goat tying. My mom didn’t think it was funny but it was to me!

What did it mean to you to be selected as queen? To be selected for queen was an amazing honor! I love being able to support my county fair while also advocating for the horse industry.

What would you tell other kids looking to get involved with animals or 4H/FFA? If I had anything to tell any other kids in FFA or 4H, take your time. It’s okay if you don’t win the whole class. Every single improvement you make is one step closer to winning that title! It’ll come with time.

Friends visited while in Colorado

Bill was one of the old friends I looked up while Ginnie and I were in Loveland, Colorado. He had pretty much disappeared from the scene, like a rainbow come and gone. The phone number I had for him was no longer in service, but I was able to get his address from another friend. Bill and I had worked and partied hardy (or hearty) together. He lived with his brother in three frontto-back shotgun shacks on a narrow lot. Both Bill and his brother were hardcore bachelors.

Bill’s brother had died of alcoholism a couple of years before, and I knew Bill took it hard. I wanted to see Bill and see how he was doing. Bill was a gear head, always building hot rods, dune buggies and show cars.

It was the middle of a hot Colorado afternoon when Ginnie and I found

Bill’s address. We couldn’t raise anyone at the first shack, so went to the second. Some elderly lady (Bill had a girlfriend?) said Bill was asleep, but if we went to his “office” he would meet us. We went to the third shack and waited. There were car parts, tools, machinery, and engine blocks scattered everywhere. Bill finally trooped out, barefooted and rubbing sleep from his eyes. How he could walk on that floor in bare feet, with drill bits, nuts and bolts and sharp objects all over the floor, I’ll never know. But he led us back to his “office,” sat down and we talked.

He told us the reason he was asleep was because he’d been to a car show that morning, chasing girls, and it wore him out. He also told us how his brother died. Bill, some of his family, and a few close friends had gotten together and attempted an intervention on Bill’s brother, telling him how his alcoholism im-

Champions of freer markets

don’t

need to champion Capitalism

“Let Zohran Mamdani’s victory in last week’s Democratic mayoral primary in New York serve as your periodic reminder that capitalism is in dire need of able defenders.” Matthew Hennessey’s call that “Capitalism Needs Champions” (Wall Street Journal, July 1) would have provoked Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal author Ayn Rand’s trademark reminder to “check your premises.”

According to Hennessey, who uses “capitalism” interchangeably with “free markets” and even plain “markets,” “anticapitalists on both left and right struggle to make a serious case that things are worse now than they were 100 or 150 years ago.” Chris Matthew Sciabarra notes: “For Rand, this ‘unknown ideal’ had been approximated in history but it had never been practiced in its full, unadulterated laissez-faire form. It was largely undercut by state intervention.”

Even while America’s actually existing mixed economy produced the “washing machines [and] chemotherapy” hailed by Hennessey, manufacturing became so intertwined with federal contracts and organizational bureaucracy that Karl Hess could quip in a 1976 Playboy interview that “to find a difference worth dying for in opposing the Soviet Union while supporting General Motors requires a theological position.” Michael Harrington observed in The Next Left that ostensibly private healthcare providers accepted being primarily funded by “socialized insurance premiums” to the point of becoming “the worst of capitalism and the worst of socialism combined,” in which “no one was particularly concerned about controlling the outlays or quality.” “Free people” do “abominate coercion,” but Hennessey overlooks how capitalists have taken the initiative in burdening their competitors. Asserting that “the owner-operator of a corner deli is no less a capitalist than Jeff Bezos” ignores how, in the words of Roy Childs, “men in larger businesses supported and even initiated acts of government regulation” (and would obviate the case against antitrust breakups).

Hennessey dismisses “soft-headed notions about inequality,” since “the incredible wealth [markets] generate can be used to fill the gaps.” Yet the most pro-market mayoral candidate in New York’s history, Henry George, saw how unfree markets aggravated what he called the “Increase of Want with Increase of Wealth.”

Hennessey predicts that Mamdani will require “plans to keep New Yorkers captive,” forgetting his own Journal op-ed page’s survey of socialist mayors who “took an entrepreneurial approach to government, improving systems, cutting waste, and finding creative new sources of income” (Michael Trinklein’s “Sanders Can Learn From ‘Sewer Socialists’,” March 19, 2020).The New York mayor who hailed “the crumbling bricks of the Berlin wall” yielding to “a world liberated from the crushing weight of fascism and totalitarianism” was card-carrying member of Harrington’s Democratic Socialists of America David Dinkins.

Harrington’s heirs lack the socialist stalwart’s perceptiveness of “the worst of socialism.” Mamdani’s proposed municipal groceries would have a harder time recreating efficient supply chains geared to local retail needs than dot-com bubble fiascoes like Kozmo or Webvan.Free buses would at least not jeopardize free markets in a transit economy so subsidized that fares act like a regressive tax. But no free ride would get as far as free trade.

pacted them. They wanted to take him to rehab right then. His brother said he would go, but wanted to wait until morning. During the night, Bill’s brother drank himself to death. Schnapps. Bill found him the next morning. Bill also told us about a friend of his that rented a room from him in the third shack. The friend overdosed on Fentanyl and died. Bill found him, also.

Then there was the renter in the first shack. He was also a close friend of Bill’s. The friend had wild parties, got behind on rent, and Bill had to evict him. So much disappointment in Bill’s life.

But Bill’s attitude was good. He was fixing up the first shack to rent out again, building cars, and engine blowers for people. They called him Blower Bill. He has a 60’s Corvette and El Camino. All-in-all, I’m glad we took the time to dig Bill out. He told Ginnie to take good care of me. Ha!

Another person we looked up was an old high school buddy from Iowa, Tom. He and his wife now live in Ft. Collins. He was an all-state running back in football, I was a blocking lineman. One time I threw a block that sprang Tom loose for the end zone. He would

have probably made it anyway, he was pretty fast, agile, and tough. Anywho, when we got back to the huddle, Tom pointed a finger at me and said, “The touchdown goes to you.” The QB hollered at him to shut up, for good reason. That touchdown was the result of a total team effort. I just threw the last block.

Tom was always a sharp dresser. He worked at clothing stores and retail outlets through high school and college. A cancer survivor, he became quite successful as a top executive for Walmart. I no longer had to throw blocks for Tom. He cut his own path.

On our last day in Colorado, Ginnie and I drove up the Cache la Poudre Canyon, another old friend. We saw the Big Narrows, Profile Rock, Elephant Mountain, and lunched at Glen Echo Resort, that used to be in what was called Rustic. The Poudre Canyon was peaceful, beautiful and relaxing—a perfect ending for a week of looking up old friends. You can’t be too thin, have too much money, or too many friends.

Trump is opening the door to scams targeting military families

The Trump administration could really lend a hand to veterans and servicemembers. Instead, it’s opening the door for scams targeting military families.

Trump is dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the 15-year-old consumer watchdog agency. The CFPB protects all Americans, and it has an impressive track record of standing up for military families in particular.

The CFPB Office of Servicemember Affairs has a clear mission: to protect military families from abusive lenders, debt collectors, and other scams by using a mixture of regulation, supervision, research, and public education. The office is attuned to the unique financial challenges faced by young enlisted personnel and military families: frequent relocations, irregular pay cycles, and the threat of targeted scams.

But today, the office exists mostly in name only.

Under its Trump-appointed leadership, the office has been gutted — with its staffing slashed, its law enforcement non-existent, and its public presence all but erased as part of the administration’s wholesale attack on the CFPB. Servicemembers have been left with fewer protections, fewer resources, and a lot more exposure to financial swindlers.

Josh Friedman is an Air Force veteran, reservist, and longtime CFPB employee. He was fired while on active duty, a move that violated federal law. Friedman

was one of the last remaining staffers in the Office of Servicemember Affairs. He wasn’t just laid off — he was stripped of his ability to serve fellow military families at the very agency created to protect them and other consumers.

The Trump CFPB also just gave Navy Federal Credit Union a free pass, terminating its own enforcement order that had required the credit union to return $80 million to servicemembers, veterans, and Department of Defense employees for illegal overdraft fees. Navy Federal charged customers even when they had enough money at the time of purchase, despite prior warnings from the CFPB.

Meanwhile, the administration has repealed the CFPB’s overdraft protections altogether, which would have limited banks from charging excessive fees, especially important for junior enlisted members living paycheck to paycheck. (Navy Federal, the largest credit union for servicemembers, raked in $335 million in overdraft fees in 2024 alone.)

Rather than strengthening protections for military families, the Trump CFPB has systematically unraveled them, scrapping nearly 70 critical directives that previously shielded servicemembers from predatory lenders, credit reporting errors tied to deployment, and illegally high interest rates that violate the Military Lending Act, which caps annual rates at 36 percent.

Servicemember complaints are skyrocketing — up 165 percent from 2020 to 2024 — but the Trump CFPB is making it

harder to get relief. The complaint system is being deprioritized. Enforcement is being scaled back. More than 84,000 complaints from military families led to some form of relief before Trump’s election. Now that figure is all but certain to plummet.

This isn’t just policy. It’s personal.

Military families are now on their own. What happened to Josh Friedman isn’t just an HR blunder. It’s a flashing red warning sign that financial predators are not back on their heels — they’re in charge.

The agency meant to defend against these abuses is being taken apart from the inside. The leadership at CFPB has slashed the agency’s workforce by nearly 90 percent and effectively shuttered its headquarters.

It’s time for Congress — and the public — to tell the Trump administration that it should embrace a vibrant CFPB.

Restoring the CFPB means fully funding the agency, re-staffing the Office of Servicemember Affairs, reviving enforcement against financial predators, and protecting the rules that shield military families from abuse. Lawmakers must defend the CFPB’s independence and reject any efforts to weaken its mandate.

Standing up for the CFPB is not only about good governance. It’s about honoring the commitment we make to servicemembers: that when they protect us, we will protect them.

Positive adult role models benefit kids

Children begin learning about life early on from the people who surround them. From the earliest age, youngsters mimic their parents and look to caregivers to guide their development and demonstrate proper behavior.

According to Words Alive, an organization inspiring a commitment to reading for life success, 90 percent of a child’s brain develops by age five. During these first five years, abilities such as motivation, problem solving, communication, and self-regulation are formed. Having the right role models in a child’s life influencing them through these formative years can set a foundation for success.

What is a role model?

A role model is a person whose behaviors are emulated by others, according to Connections Academy® by Pearson. When a child has a positive role model, there is a greater likelihood the youngster will engage in constructive behavior that mirrors the person he or she looks up to.

Why are positive role models important?

Adult-child interactions can help

Did you know?

shape an individual. The Center of the Developing Child at Harvard University noted that if an adult’s responses toward a child are inappropriate or unreliable, that child’s brain architecture may be disrupted and their emotional health impaired. The opposite is true when children have positive influences in their lives who respond properly to a child’s behavior.

Choosing safe adults

It is vital to surround children with safe adults who can be positive role models. According to Perpetrators of Sexual Violence: Statistics by RAINN, 93 percent of juvenile sexual abuse cases knew the perpetrator, and 34 percent were family members. Safe adults are those who model healthy behaviors and actions to set an example for the child. Although a child’s uncle may be a beloved family member, that person may not necessarily be the best to be alone and interact with a child frequently.

What are good role model behaviors?

The following are some key characteristics of a positive role model.

The Running of the Bulls occurs annually in July in Pamplona, Spain.

Spanish bull-running has a lengthy history. According to The Running of the Bulls, which promotes the festival overseas and helps to educate runners and tourists, the event that has become the most recognizable component of the San Fermin Festi-

• Treats others with respect and practices self-awareness about behaviors. When the role model makes a mistake, he or she owns that mistake and tries to remedy it.

• Establishes goals and shows a commitment to values. A good role model is passionate about what they do, has a strong work ethic, and showcases confidence.

• Tries to keep a positive attitude and is accepting and supportive of others.

• A positive role model also may think about the kinds of people they looked up to when they were younger and the traits those people exhibited. Then those similar traits can be implemented when interacting with children and adults.

Positive role models can impact children’s development and put them on the path to becoming well-adjusted, positive and dedicated members of society.

val can be traced to the thirteenth century. The festival of San Fermin honors the co-patron saint of Pamplona, and while bull-running is a secular endeavor, the two traditions merged over time. The San Fermin Festival was moved from September to July in 1591, and the running of the bulls has taken place nearly every year ever since. Certain developments, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic and World War II, led to the cancellation of the running of the bulls.

Iowa solar industry threatened by tax incentive cuts

Iowa is among the nation’s leaders in wind energy production, and the state is looking to follow suit with solar power.

But Congress has eliminated the tax incentives that help solar farmers grow the industry.

Iowa has worked with landowners to install wind turbines on thousands of acres of farmland, and has boosted its solar power-generating capacity from a scant two megawatts to nearly 350 in the last decade. But the new federal budget rolls back the incentives that help farmers make these investments.

Sean Gallagher, senior vice president of policy with the Solar Energy Industries Association, said the change will have consequences for the renewable energy industry — not just in Iowa, but nationwide.

“It has really devastating impacts,” said Gallagher, “not just to the solar industry, but to American energy security and national security. Solar energy is putting more new power on the grid than every other fuel source combined in the last several years.”

Iowa’s 6,000 wind turbines create more than 12,000 megawatts of power, accounting for the largest source of energy production in the state.

While wind and solar power have proven successful in Iowa, the political landscape — both in Des Moines and Washington, D.C. — has become less supportive of giving tax breaks to help people make the investment. Gallagher said the current local and national political climate appears to favor fossil fuels over non-traditional energy sources, despite the economic benefits of wind and solar power.

“Every dollar spent on clean energy tax credits has a $2.67 return,” Gallagher said, “in the form of lower energy costs for consumers, and taxes paid by clean energy infrastructure projects — mostly property taxes.”

Iowa and other states are now faced with the prospect of trying to invest in solar energy and other renewable power sources without federal encouragement to do so.

Iowa generates 59% of its electricity from wind, the highest share of any state.

Pitching, defense leads Baxter baseball to playoff win over improved Tigerhawks

COLLINS — The Colfax-Mingo baseball team gave Baxter 15 free bases when they squared off in their regular-season matchup that ended on July 2.

Three days later, the Tigerhawks played much cleaner defensively and threw strikes on the mound against the Bolts.

But Baxter’s 1-2 pitching punch was simply too much to overcome, and the Bolts downed Colfax-Mingo, 4-0, in the quarterfinal round of the Class 1A District 12 tournament on July 5.

“The pitchers attacked the zone, which is all you can ask,” Baxter head baseball coach Jeremy Moffit said. “Both pitchers threw well, and we made plays defensively when they did put it in play.”

It was Baxter’s first postseason win since defeating Lynnville-Sully, 9-5, in 2019.

Carter Nelsen fanned 10 batters in seven innings that day. Colton Moffit and Cael Wishman combined to strike out 15 Tigerhawks on July 5.

Colfax-Mingo’s offense accounted for only one hit and one walk in its seven at-bats, but Camden Cunningham pitched his best game of the season and the Tigerhawks’ only error did not factor into any of the four runs Baxter scored.

“This was always our goal, to be peaking at this time of year,” Colfax-Mingo head baseball coach Joss Teed said. “We’ve been working hard to get better, and I think we showed that today. They stuck together, they were focused and they were sharp. We had a chance every inning and had a chance at the end.”

Hayden Burdess opened the bottom of the first inning with a walk. He stole second and then scored on Wishman’s one-out RBI single.

Colten Damman singled to lead off the second but was stranded on third base.

The Bolts (16-6) added to their lead with a run in the third. Burdess drew another lead-off walk. He stole second, took third on a wild pitch and scored on a passed ball.

“I feel like we were a little tight at the plate and pressing,” Coach Moffit said. “We were behind on a few pitches, but that’s to be expected playing in our first district game.”

Troy Hyde/Jasper County Tribune

junior Colton Moffit allowed one hit and struck out eight batters in his 4 1/3 innings against Colfax-Mingo on July 5. The Bolts won the district

Cody Spurgeon was hit by a pitch for a school-record 15th time this season after Burdess walked, but he was stranded at third base.

Baxter chased Cunningham with two runs in the sixth. Wishman and Liam Trent delivered back-to-back singles.

Wishman stole second and then scored from second on a wild pitch. Trent scored on Moffit’s RBI ground out to third base.

“They have a deep backstop, and Cael has some speed,” Colton Moffit said. “We mostly scored on walks and played some small ball today.”

Cunningham (1-7) hit his pitch count limit with one out in the sixth. He took the loss after allowing four runs — two earned — on four hits, two walks and one hit batter and he fanned five in 5 1/3 innings.

Wyatt Jay got the final two outs in the sixth but not before allowing an infield single to Jace Bottorff. He struck out two of the three batters he faced.

“It was probably his best game of the year,” Teed said about Cunningham. “They have good hitters, and I wish them well. I think they’ll make it a couple of rounds.”

Moffit (8-1) earned the win on the mound for Baxter. He struck out eight and allowed no runs, one hit and one walk in 4 1/3 innings. Both he and Wishman were kept under 65 pitches so they could be available for the team’s semifinal matchup against Collins-Maxwell.

Colton Moffit didn’t use his side-arm pitches until the second time through the Tigerhawks’ batting order.

Baxter softball scores season sweep of conference rival Colo-NESCO

BAXTER — The Bolts scored first and last during a narrow win over Colo-NESCO on June 30.

The Baxter softball team snapped a 15game skid against the rival Royals during a 9-8 home win in Iowa Star Conference action.

The Bolts led 2-0 after two innings and built a lead as large as 8-2 before scoring the winning run in the bottom of the sixth.

Baxter out-hit Colo-NESCO 6-5, and the Royals committed three of the game’s five errors. The win gave the Bolts (2-21, 2-14 in the conference) a season sweep of the Royals.

Lillian Grunstead totaled two hits, one double, two runs and one steal and Mallory Bottorff chipped

in two hits, two runs, two RBIs, one walk and four stolen bases to lead the Bolts.

Tigerhawk softball edges Belle Plaine in extra innings

BELLE PLAINE — The Colfax-Mingo softball team lost two separate leads against Belle Plaine on June 27, but the Tigerhawks scored twice in the top of the ninth during a 10-9 road win.

The Tigerhawks edged the Lady Plainsmen in the South Iowa Cedar League contest despite six errors in the field. Colfax-Mingo drew 11 walks and Belle Plaine was plagued by four errors.

Colfax-Mingo scored twice in the first but trailed 3-2 after one. The Tigerhawks tied the game in the second and went in front 8-3 following a five-run fourth.

Belle Plaine rallied with a run in the fifth and four more in the sixth, but the Tigerhawks were one run better in the ninth.

Colfax-Mingo (3-17, 2-14 in the SICL) swept the season series after winning 13-5 at home on June 9.

Brianna Freerksen, Dakota Allen, Kinley Johannes and Emma Cook all had two hits to lead the C-M offense.

Allen drew two walks and scored three runs, Johannes scored three runs, posted two RBIs and walked twice, Cook contributed three RBIs and one walk and Freerksen scored one run, stole one base and was hit by one pitch.

Freerksen leads the Tigerhawks with 18 runs, 21 total bases and 16 steals and Johannes has a team-best 11 RBIs and 14 walks.

Brooklyn Yanske walked twice and had two RBIs, Isabella Cushatt doubled, scored one run and walked once, Sidney Veasman walked three times and had one RBI and Katelyn Steenhoek tallied one hit and one RBI. Callie Rathje scored two runs and stole one base.

Yanske (1-5) earned the win in the circle after allowing nine runs — seven earned — on nine hits, two walks and one hit batter in nine innings. She fanned two. Taylor Johnson led Belle Plaine (1-22, 1-15) with four hits and three runs.

The Tigerhawks hosted Keota on June 23, but it was suspended and completed on July 1. Statistics for that game were unavailable at press time.

English Valleys 13, Colfax-Mingo 7 COLFAX — The Tigerhawks led by two runs after three, but English Valleys scored in all seven frames during a 13-7 road win on June 30.

The Bears rallied from a 6-4 deficit after scoring once in the fourth and seventh, twice in the fifth and five times in the sixth of the SICL game.

Colfax-Mingo is 8-3 against English Valleys since 2016, but the Bears have won three in a row in the series.

The Bears (6-13, 5-11) out-hit Colfax-Mingo 12-7, and the Tigerhawks committed eight of the game’s 14 errors. North Mahaska 7, Colfax-Mingo 2 NEW SHARON — The Tigerhawks scored first again against North Mahaska on June 25, but the host Warhawks scored twice in three different innings during a 7-2 home win in SICL play.

Colfax-Mingo scored once in the first and once in the fifth but was out-hit 11-2 in the loss.

“We combined to give up zero runs so you should win the game doing that,” Colton Moffit said. “I like to mix in the side-arm pitches the second time through the order. It throws them off a little bit. I’m going to use all eight pitches at some point. It just gives them one more thing to think about. It keeps them on their toes.”
