Newton CVB suspends operations

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News The Newton Convention & Visitors Bureau will suspend its operations this year citing financial crisis due to defunding by the City of Newton.

Annette West, interim director of the CVB, said the decision came after weighing out the options following the city hiring on a full-time marketing employee.

“It is a time of mixed and strong emotions for those involved with the Newton Convention & Visitors Bureau, including our nonprofit board, staff, attraction, properties and community partners,” Margie Criswell, CVB board chair said. “Due to the financial crisis we have encountered with the defunding of our organization by the City of Newton, we have decided to suspend the organization.”

West said the organization will fulfill its commitments for the remainder of the year, including Miss Iowa Teen USA in October.

The CVB will see how the integrated marketing of tourism plays out for the city in the next year and will disperse its funds according to its bylaws by June 30, 2019.

“I’m concerned for the properties and attractions as far as their marketing, that’s something time will tell,” West said.

The board and staff have exhausted their energy and ideas on promoting the community without hotel/ motel tax dollars and feel its time to let the City of Newton market tourism on their own, Criswell said.

While Hawkeye Stages will be keeping the Visitor Center open, the physical office will be closed April 28.

“We appreciate the support the community has given the Newton Convention & Visitors Bureau,” West said.

Fifth annual Skiff Gala raises more than $50,000

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News Delectable desserts, friendly conversation and formal attire are just a few things that could describe the fifth annual Skiff Gala Saturday evening.

The fundraising event’s goal is much more meaningful than getting dressed up and partaking in a three-course meal, it is centered around raising money to positively impact the lives of the patients and staff at Skiff Medical Center.

More than 200 attendees did just that by raising $58,000.

The Skiff Auxiliary and Foundation began gathering sponsorships in the

fall and nearly sold out of $50 tickets a month prior to the event.

All funds raised will be used to support the purchase of a new infant warmer for the Obstetrics department at Skiff. The estimated cost is $51,000.

The evening kicked off with a social time and silent auction followed by a dinner and dessert auction. One lucky table won a dinner upgrade for eight, which included a fillet and lobster tail, a baked potato and beans with onions and bacon.

The dinner upgrade went to one lucky bidder for a competitive rate of $1,700.

Democratic congressional candidate visits Newton

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News

Democratic candidate Kim Weaver drew in more than 20 supporters during a public forum Saturday in Newton. Weaver is set to run a second time for Congress in Iowa’s 4th Congressional District in 2018 against Republican incumbent Steve King.

Weaver Inside a packed room at the Lemon Tree Tea House, Weaver, a resident of Sheldon, spoke to Newton

citizens and attendees from surrounding counties about her viewpoints and “common sense” solutions to issues that Iowans are facing.

Phyllis Weeks, of Knoxville, said she coordinated the forum because she firmly believes in supporting all democratic candidates across the state of Iowa.

Weeks said she agreed with Weaver’s basic democratic principles, such as, Medicare for all, aid for seniors and support of industrial hemp.

“I wanted to introduce her to my fellow group of activists,” Weeks said. “Plus, I wanted to be a part of her early grassroots campaign.”

Weaver said she believes in re-

vitalizing rural America by pushing rural broadband access, student loan debt relief by creating a national program that offers volunteer time as an alternative and industrial hemp for Iowan farmers and crop diversity.

“I really feel like I’m a voice for the people,” Weaver said. “I’m the one standing up front and saying this isn’t right.”

Weaver said this time around in her campaign she will consistently have people write letters to the editor to all the small town newspapers in her district.

“I believe in the power of small town newspapers,” Weaver said.

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Monday, April 10, the 100th day of 2017. There are 265 days left in the year.

The Jewish holiday Passover begins at sunset.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 10, 1912, the British liner RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, on its ill-fated maiden voyage.

On this date: In 1790, President George Washington signed the first United States Patent Act. In 1866, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was incorporated.

In 1925, the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel “The Great Gatsby” was first published by Scribner’s of New York.

In 1932, German President Paul Von Hindenburg was re-elected in a runoff, with Adolf Hitler coming in second.

In 1947, Brooklyn Dodgers President Branch Rickey purchased the contract of Jackie Robinson from the Montreal Royals.

In 1967, at the Academy Awards, “A Man for All Seasons” won best picture of 1966; its star, Paul Scofield, was named best actor; Elizabeth Taylor received best actress for “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”

In 1974, Golda Meir told party leaders she was resigning as prime minister of Israel.

In 1981, imprisoned IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands was declared the winner of a by-election to the British Parliament.

In 1992, comedian Sam Kinison was killed in a car crash outside Needles, California, at age 38.

In 1998, the Northern Ireland peace talks concluded as negotiators reached a landmark settlement to end 30 years of bitter rivalries and bloody attacks.

Ten years ago: A woman wearing an explosives vest blew herself up in the midst of 200 Iraqi police recruits in Muqdadiyah, killing 16. DNA tests showed that former boyfriend Larry Birkhead was the father of the late Anna Nicole Smith’s baby.

Five years ago: Rick Santorum quit the presidential race, clearing the way for Mitt Romney to claim the Republican nomination. Syrian troops defied a U.N.-brokered cease-fire plan, launching fresh attacks on rebellious areas. The University of Arkansas fired Bobby Petrino as its football coach, citing a “pattern of misleading” behavior that included hiring his mistress.

One year ago: A massive fire erupted in a Hindu temple in southern India packed with thousands for a religious festival, killing 111 people; an unauthorized pyrotechnic display was blamed for the disaster. The Boston Globe published a satirical front page lampooning a potential Donald Trump candidacy; the Republican candidate responded by calling the newspaper “stupid” and “worthless.” Danny Willett won the Masters, shooting a closing 67 for a 5-under 283 total, after a stunning collapse

A helicopter camera caught the dramatic scene in Lynnfield, just north of Boston.

The fowl ran afoul of motorists on Interstate 95 on Wednesday. Some drivers had to swerve to avoid striking it.

The turkey walked most of the way but decided to fly across the last few lanes after a near miss.

The bird was part of a flock that caused intermittent traffic delays by trotting onto the highway.

Entertainment Boss Baby,’ ‘Beauty’ outshine ‘Smurfs 3’ at box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Smurfs are feeling a little blue this weekend.

The third installment in Sony’s animated series, “Smurfs: The Lost Village,” made its box-office debut in third place, with $14 million — far behind family-friendly holdovers “The Boss Baby” and “Beauty and the Beast,” according to studio estimates Sunday.

Featuring the voices of Demi Lovato and Joe Manganiello, “Smurfs,” which reportedly cost $60 million to make, has not charmed critics either.

Its earnings were worse than the 2013 opening of “Smurfs 2,” which went on to gross $347.5 million worldwide despite a $17.5 million debut and a heftier $105 million price tag.

But the fate of the third “Smurfs” is not necessarily sealed, says ComScore’s senior media analyst, Paul Dergarabedian.

“There are other revenue streams for films like this,” Dergarabedian said, noting international profits and home video potential that could recoup production costs.

Kayla Langmaid/Daily News Kim Weaver, democratic candidate for Congress in Iowa’s 4th Congressional District, visited Newton Saturday to hold a public forum. Attendees filled the Lemon Tree Tea House to ask questions and learn more about the resident of Sheldon.

Continued from Page 1A Weaver also intends to connect with students at Iowa State University and smaller universities in her district.

“We do a lot of social media and we try

to hit them where they are,” Weaver said. “One thing I’ve learned is young people want to make sure they have a voice.”

Weeks said she reached out to Weaver about a month ago about holding a forum in Newton.

“I was very impressed when she responded right back to me and accepted,” Weeks said.

“I want to thank her for taking the time to come here.”

The meals were catered by Chef Dale Miller and Khristine of Newton HyVee. The dessert auction also brought friendly competition for bidders as multiple tables bid for a chance to pick the first dessert of the evening.

All desserts were donated by businesses and individuals. Some local businesses included Bun in the Oven, The Bake Shoppe and Pretty Little Crumb Coat.

“It is important to continue to preserve this primary façade as it helps tell the story of the development of Newton’s downtown,” Muckler said.

To date, including the two most recent grants, $84,821 in funds have been awarded to businesses in the downtown area. Private investment into downtown properties totals more than $145,000.

Following the recent grants, just more than $15,000 remains in the Downtown Micro-Grant fund, which started with $100,000 in 2016.

Teen Beat, Doogie and bragging rights

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer

Editor’s note: This column originally published April 25, 2016. hen I was growing up, there was nothing quite like diving into the latest edition of Teen Beat, searching for the celebrity centerfold poster and securing a spot for it on my bedroom wall.

We’re talking my teen idol, Alyssa Milano, of “Who’s the Boss?”, both Coreys (Corey Haim and Corey Feldman) Kirk Cameron, Michael J. Fox, Ralph Macchio and my equivalents of modern day Taylor Swift — Debbie Gibson and Tiffany.

If you’re asking yourself — did I have torn jeans and draw on my knee like

W

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | April 10, 2017

Debbie Gibson did on her “Out of the Blue” album cover (OK, it was a tape) — I absolutely did. I also began drinking iced tea because — hello — I read in Teen Beat it was Alyssa Milano’s favorite drink! I also used products like Aqua Net hairspray, Electric Youth perfume and wore scrunchies. I was in every way a victim to popular trends. These days we have BuzzFeed to occasionally remind us these things — and that we owned and regularly used a caboodle.

Of course reading Teen Beat was just one of the ways I engaged in celebrity worshipping. If I remember correctly, magazines like these would provide an address to write to your favorite pop stars near the back of the edition. This was something I engaged in as regularly as listening to Casey Kasem’s Top 40 on the radio — and of course “taped” it so I could listen to the songs again later.

My actual celebrity interactions are

limited to seeing John Ritter (“Three’s Company”) at a ballet in Los Angeles and interviewing legendary Iowa Football coach Hayden Fry via telephone from an Iowa City newsroom. Political candidates and spouses don’t really count to me in this business, especially in Iowa, but among the many, I fondly remember interviewing Michelle Obama at the Blanden Museum in Fort Dodge and Elizabeth Edwards at a backyard barbecue. It’s also pretty cool to have a photo of my son at age 2 being held by someone who would become the President of the United States.

Recently, I was able to one-up a friend who has met, and oftentimes interviewed, as many random celebrities as you can imagine.

I revealed to her I have a signed photo of Doogie Howser, M.D. Neil Patrick Harris (but forever Doogie to me) was one of my larger childhood crushes. My son recently came across some notes and doodles of mine that conveyed that crush. Note: Things we did before smartphones.

Apparently my friend took a break from watching “Murder She Wrote,” (yes

she actually does that with regularity) to indulge in “Doogie Howser, M.D.” now streaming on Hulu. The show tells the epic tale of a child genius who practices medicine and always ended with him making a diary entry into his computer — which I loved because I of course kept a diary. These days Doogie is better known for being a Tony Award-winning actor, awards host and playing the somewhat obnoxious role of Barney in “How I Met Your Mother.” He’s also completely not straight. Still, I will always admire him and try to “Stay Well,” as he wrote on his personal autograph to me.

These memories and more came flooding back last week as my son asked me to help him hang a poster on his bedroom wall. But unlike my way-cool celebrity centerfolds, his wall is more of a tribute to the Iowa Hawkeyes, Star Wars, MAD magazine and a few video games.

He has also hung an autographed photo of Olympic gold medalist boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, who he spent the day with last fall. Maybe someday he’ll get some bragging rights from that.

Eye on America John Stossel

Enough protection already “Trump may have just signed a death warrant for our planet!” warns CNN host Van Jones.

“Disaster for Clean Water, Air,” says the Environmental Working Group.

Give me a break.

Regulation zealots and much of the media are furious because President Donald Trump canceled Barack Obama’s attempt to limit carbon dioxide emissions. But Trump did the right thing.

CO2 is what we exhale. It’s not a pollutant. It is, however, a greenhouse gas, and such gases increase global warming. It’s possible that this will lead to a spiral of climate change that will destroy much of Earth!

But probably not. The science is definitely not settled.

Either way, Obama’s expensive regulation wouldn’t make a discernible difference. By 2030 — if it met its goal — it might cut global carbon emissions by 1 percent.

The Earth will not notice.

However, people who pay for heat and electricity would notice. The Obama rule demanded power plants emit less CO2. Everyone would pay more — for no useful reason.

I say “would” because the Supreme Court put a “stay” on the regulation, saying there may be no authority for it.

So Trump proposes a sensible cut: He’ll dump an Obama proposal that was already dumped by courts. He’d also reduce Environmental Protection Agency spending by 31 percent.

Good!

Some of what regulators do now resembles the work of sadists who like crushing people. In Idaho, Jack and Jill Barron tried to build a house on their own property. Jack got permission from his county.

So they started building.

They got as far as the foundation when the EPA suddenly declared that the Barrons’ property was a “wetland.”

Some of their land was wet. But that was only because state government had not maintained its own land, adjacent to the Barrons’ property, and water backed up from the state’s land to the Barrons’.

The EPA suddenly said, “You are building on a wetland!” and filed criminal charges against them.

Felonies. When government does that, most of us cringe and give up. It costs too much to fight the state. Government regulators seem to have unlimited time and nearly unlimited money.

But Jack was mad enough to fight. He spent $200,000 on his own lawyers.

Three years later, a jury cleared Jack of all charges.

But even that didn’t stop the EPA. Jill Barron told me, “We won, but after we were home for a month maybe, the Army Corps of Engineers and the EPA sent us another letter saying, ‘how nice for you that you won in the criminal court, but we still feel it’s a wetlands.’ And the decision made by the jury did not matter to them. ‘And if you don’t get off the property, we’re going to fine you (in) civil (court).’”

The EPA threatened a fine of $37,500 a day.

The Barrons sold their home and moved into a trailer.

“We’ll be bankrupt, obviously.” Jill told me, “You have no idea what you’re up against. You don’t know the power that is the EPA.” So I’m glad that Trump wants to limit the EPA. Scott Pruitt, the agency’s new director, understands that bureaucrats often abuse their power. When he was Oklahoma attorney general, he sued the EPA 13 times for regulatory overreach.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Legislative session winding down Project Labor Agreements: A Republican-sponsored bill that concerns Project Labor Agreements passed the House 57-41 along party lines. PLAs are a collective bargaining agreement used by a project owner that sets terms under which a contractor who successfully bids on a project proceeds in labor relations and work on that particular project. Both public and private entities presently have the option of utilizing PLAs to manage wages, benefits and working conditions.

Sometimes these agreements contain provisions for the use of local labor and preventing work stoppages. They do not require that workers be from a union.

SF 438 prohibits government entities from mandating that bidders for public contracts complete contractor qualification questionnaires. The questions concern the contractor’s 5 year history, liens and judgments, whether their registration has been suspended or revoked, or whether they’ve been cited by a government regulatory agency.

Supporters of SF 438 insist that this type of information should be kept confidential, and this bill protects contractors from having to release proprietary in-

State View Rep. Wes Breckenridge formation. Opponents of the bill say that PLAs help control costs and locks in labor conditions on projects that are highly complex and may last several years. The prohibition is another example of limiting local control.

Appropriations - Transportation: One of the first appropriations bills has emerged; it concerns funding for the Department of Transportation. This bill proposes spending $384.1 million (mostly federal monies) to fund 2,748 full-time employees for fiscal year 2018. This figure represents an increase of $13.3 million from fiscal year 2017. Most of the budget remains the same in terms of the type of projects being funded.

One change is an appropriation of $10.8 million for the relocation and replacement for the Dubuque maintenance garage.

20 Week Abortion Ban: Senate File 471, which would ban abortions once a pregnancy reaches 20 weeks and establish

a three-day waiting period for women seeking any abortion, passed the House this week. It had come over from the Senate with an amendment that would allow for abortion after 20 weeks in the event of fetal anomalies, but that provision was stricken from the bill that went before the House out of the Human Resources committee. All 41 Democrats voted against the bill. Democrats argued the bill does not account for the wide range of circumstances that can lead women to seek abortions. For instance, the bill makes no exception for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest. We must value all life, which includes the mothers carrying a non-viable fetus, young children impregnated by rape or incest, as well as the unborn.

This is an emotional issue with passionate individuals on all sides. My heart goes out to all mothers and families that face these heart wrenching decisions. The bill includes changes that must be approved by the Senate before it could be sent to the governor’s desk.

Obituaries Joyce A. Brand April 6, 2017 Joyce A. Brand, 83, of Newton, died Thursday evening, April 6, 2017, at Accura Health Care East in Newton.

Joyce was born Oct. 12, 1933, in rural Sully, the daughter of Lawrence Louis and Wilma (Lanser) Van Rees. She graduated from Sully High School, Class of 1951.

On March 11, 1954,

Mary Lucille Chabot April 5, 2017 Mary Lucille “Mimi” Chabot (Mahaffey), 93, passed away due to complications of Alzhe i me r’s Disease at Accura Healthcare of Newton W e s t Wednesday, April 5, 2017. Mimi and her twin brother, Marion Lyle Mahaffey, were born at home Aug. 14, 1923, in Newton, to Opra Jasper Mahaffey, a typesetter at the Newton Daily News, and Mary Pearl Logsdon, a homemaker.

Mimi graduated from Newton Senior High School, then completed cosmetologist training in Ottumwa. She worked as a hairdresser in Newton, until she enlisted in the U. S. Marine Corps March 30, 1944. She served on active duty at the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, Calif., until honorably discharged in 1945. Mimi married Rodolf Hector “Duke” Chabot Feb. 10, 1945, in Green Cove Springs, Fla., where

Joyce was united in marriage with Charles Dean Brand at the Sully Christian Reformed Church.

To this union three girls were born, Gweneth, Susan and Lorie. She retired as a physical therapist aid at Skiff Medical Center. Joyce was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her. She was a member of the Sully First Reformed Church and enjoyed gardening, crocheting, reading, travel and Christmas with her family.

Joyce is survived by

her husband, Charles of Newton; her girls and their husbands, Gweneth and Darrell Gosselink of Newton, Susan and Gary Geels of Panora and Lorie and Kenneth Van Soelen of Sully; her nine grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; a twin sister, Joan Verhey of Pella and her sister, Henrietta Laverman of Sully; a brother, Dave (Bonnie) Van Rees of Lynnville; and her many good neighbors and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Lenora Nikkel; two great-grandchildren; and two brothers-in-law.

A time of remembrance and celebration of life was at 10:30 a.m.

Monday, April 10 at the Sully First Reformed Church with visitation from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 9 in the Gathering Place at the church. The Pence-Reese Funeral Home in Newton, has been entrusted with the arrangements.

Burial was in the Sully Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy and in lieu of flowers, memorials may be left to Hope Ministries and/or Many Hands for Haiti.

Online condolences may be left for the family at www.pencefh.com.

Duke was serving on active duty with the U.S. Navy. One child, Freddie, was born to this union. Mimi and Duke divorced in 1950, and she returned to Newton, where she raised her son. Mimi never remarried.

Mimi served the F.L. and W.F. Vernon families in Newton, as housekeeper and cook for 25 years, then worked at the Vernon Company offices in the sample and file rooms in Newton, for another 25 years. Mimi treated her office colleagues to her infamous popcorn every Wednesday, and people went out of their way to visit the sample or file rooms in search of her regular salty treat and seasonal homemade desserts. She retired from the world of work at age 75 in February 1999. Mimi attended the Sacred Heart Catholic Church for a short time after returning to Newton in 1951, but she was an active member of the First Assembly of God Church the majority of her life. In 1991, Mimi made the First United Methodist Church in Newton her church home.

The joys of Mimi’s life were her two granddaughters, Leanne and

Courtney, and their five children. Her nickname, Mimi, came from her granddaughters who could not pronounce Mémère, the French Canadian familiar name for grandmother, when they first learned to speak. It came out of their youthful mouths as “Mimi.”

She has been known as “Mimi” to all ever since.

She enjoyed having her granddaughters spend time in her home watching television, playing board games and teaching them how to make her homemade specialties including beef and noodles, corned beef and cabbage, divinity, fudge, lemon meringue pie, banana and pineapple cream pies, sugar cookies, cranberry bread and pecan tarts.

The great-grandchildren did not have the chance to learn to cook and bake alongside Mimi, but they did get to enjoy the fruits of her labor.

To many people, Mimi was known as a talented seamstress.

In addition to making clothes for her granddaughters and baptismal gowns for all five great-grandchildren, Mimi made costumes for countless productions at the Newton Community Theatre, and she

always had a closet full of clothes she was hemming or altering for people throughout the community. Her sewing and crocheting expertise was all the more impressive, because she taught herself the craft.

Mimi fell into the grip of Alzheimer’s Disease in 2012, and became a resident of Accura Healthcare in Newton in August of that year. Mimi was predeceased by her parents; her brother; and her daughter-in-law, Lea Marjean Chabot (Wing).

She is survived by her son, Ferdinand “Fred” (Judy) Chabot of Newton; her granddaughter, Leanne Schwickerath and great-grandchildren, Hannah and Josh Schwickerath of Newton; and her granddaughter Courtney Chabot (Steve) Dreyer, and great-grandsons Jack, Will and Nick Dreyer of Johnston.

The family will greet visitors at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 15 at the Wallace Family Funeral Home, 1115 E. 19th St. N. in Newton. Mimi’s memorial service will follow the visitation at 11 a.m. Memorials may be given in Mimi’s name to the First United Methodist Church, 210 N. Second Ave. E. in Newton.

Long-distance relationship may be too far to overcome DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been together off and on for more than two years. We have been in a long-distance relationship the entire time. I live in California, and he lives in the Midwest. I’ve been trying to get him out here because I have a job I love, and he could easily get a job in his sector out here.

His issue is that this area has “too many people and is too fast-paced” for him. I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want to quit my job and move there.

Finding a job there wouldn’t be easy since construction is not booming as much. What do I do? Do I just give up my job, or keep trying to convince him to move? Or should I cut my losses and start over? — LONG-DISTANCE DATING DEAR LONG DISTANCE: I don’t think you should give up a job you love in an environment you enjoy on the chance that this two-year relationship might become permanent. If it goes nowhere, where does that leave you? It’s time to ask yourself whether you really want to tie your future to someone who prefers a different way of life. Once you answer that question, you will know what to do.

DEAR ABBY: My son has his master’s degree in international relations, so he travels to places I will never see. He’s in Italy now, and he asked me what I would like for a souvenir. I said I wanted his memories.

I asked him to get a bag and put in it menus, train tickets and bar napkins, and to jot down at night on hotel stationery what he did, saw, how the weather was. I asked him to mention anything different or unusual and collect coasters, valet stubs, anything that would help him share his experiences with me when he gets back.

I said that when we go through all the stuff, I will get my vicarious thrill then — better that than some “tchotchke” I’d have to dust. Good idea? — PROUD MOM IN FLORIDA DEAR PROUD MOM: Great idea! As the years go on, those “mem-

ory joggers” will let you both relive the adventures he’s having now, and they will become increasingly precious. I know it from experience.

DEAR ABBY: I am sure this issue affects many people, but I have not seen it addressed in your column. Oftentimes married partners are separated by many years in age. Eventually the older of them has to enter a long-term care facility due to a mental/physical defect.

Even though the bond and love that kept them together over the years still exists, the younger still has physical and emotional needs that can no longer be met by the older spouse. What are the ethics in the younger one having a “friend with benefits” to address those needs, if it’s done discreetly without causing embarrassment and humiliation to the older spouse? — FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS DEAR FRIENDS: This is a highly personal decision that no one can make for anyone else. While many readers may disagree, I see nothing wrong with taking care of yourself as long as you remember you have a moral obligation to support your spouse “’til death do you part.” To me that means visiting and spending time with your spouse every day to ensure his/her needs are taken care of in a compassionate and diligent manner, and to let the person know he or she is loved.

TO MY JEWISH READERS: It’s time to hide the matzo again — Passover begins at sundown. Happy Passover, everyone!

1 3 men arrested in southeast Iowa counterfeiting case

BURLINGTON — Authorities in southeast Iowa have arrested three men suspected of passing counterfeit $100 bills. The Hawk Eye reports that two of the men were arrested Saturday morning at a Shopko store in Burlington. Police say employees had noticed problems with a bill one of the men tried to use in a checkout lane. The third man was arrested later in the day. Police say 51-year-old Curtis Davis, of Tampa, Fla., and 32-year-old Joseph Wilcox, of Chiefland, Fla., are charged with forgery.

2 Man found intoxicated at U of Iowa has died, officials say

IOWA CITY — University officials have confirmed the death of a man found intoxicated at a University of Iowa dormitory in Iowa City.

University police officers who were called to Daum Hall about 10:45 p.m. Saturday found the unresponsive man. University spokeswoman Hayley Bruce told The Des Moines Register the man was taken to a hospital, where he later died.

SIOUX CITY — A Sioux City woman convicted for her role in a police chase that led to a gunfight has been sentenced to 90 days in jail. The Sioux City Journal reports that 27-year-old Brittney Hood was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty in Woodbury County District Court to eluding and interference with official acts.

Authorities say Hood was driving a vehicle carrying 24-year-old Melvin Spencer and another man on Feb. 26 when a deputy tried to pull her over.

Table Mound Elementary School cadets celebrate 50 years DUBUQUE (AP) — Brass fanfare, echoing snare drums and colorful flags whirled inside Table Mound Elementary School in Dubuque, as the Colt Cadets Drum & Bugle Corps set to kick off its 2017 season, marking its 50th anniversary.

The group, a younger subsidiary of the Dubuque Colts Drum and Bugle Corps, was founded in 1967 as the Legionnaires Cadets Drum & Bugle Corps, the Telegraph Herald reported. It later became the Colt .45 Cadets in 1969, and finally, the Colt Cadets in 1976.

One of the few remaining cadet corps in the country, it has been Drum Corps International Open Class Finalists in five of the past six seasons.

“We do what we call ‘drum corps light,’” said David Alford, director of the Colt Cadets. “We travel on the weekends, regionally, and then come back to Dubuque to rehearse. And, the

past few years we’ve had great success competitively.”

The Colt Cadets are open to any young person in middle or high school, with or without prior experience on a musical instrument.

There are no formal auditions, and the organization provides equipment for students of any experience level.

“Being from a pretty small school with a pretty small band and music program, the fact that there is this opportunity to be part of so many people that come together to put on amazing shows is just amazing to me,” said 16-year-old Isabelle Sander.

The sophomore at Cuba City (Wisconsin) High School attended a Feb. 26 open rehearsal at Table Mound to try her hand at color guard.

Dubuque is the smallest city nationally to host a Drum Corps International World Class drum corps, in the Colts. Also, it is only one of three corps to support a feeder

corps, the Colt Cadets.

The two corps work in tandem, with the Colt Cadets grooming members for the World Class corps.

“They didn’t look like kids my age. They looked like professionals,” Sander said.

The Colt Cadets travel about 25 days during the summer to parades and competitions in the Midwest, performing for more than 75,000 people and logging more than 3,500 miles. Summer rehearsals begin in midJune, with performances booked from late June through early August.

Each year, the group, which consists of about 80 members, caps off its season at Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts.

When not on the road, rehearsal schedules consist of a combination of multi-day “camp-style” events and daytime rehearsals that add up to more than 300 hours of professional instruction.

“You might think it’s similar to a marching

band, but we do those aspects and we take aspects of musical theater, and we tell those stories on the football field,” said Alford, who got his start with Colts as a member in 2005 at age 19. “We’re not the halftime show. We’re the show. We’re what people come to see.”

In addition to providing top-notch mu-

sical training, the Colts organization prides itself on instilling discipline in students who demonstrate the talent and drive to perform at a high level as part of the ensemble.

“We use music and excellence to teach each other about success in life,” Alford said. “While, yes, we all want to raise great musicians, that’s

not our main focus. Our main focus is to make sure we have great student leaders who go on to have successful careers in their life.”

Alford said he gets chills thinking of his last performance as a member of Colts at age 21, performing in Pasadena, California, for the 2007 Rose Bowl. The Colts placed 10th that year.

Cedar Falls stops ash tree removal to seek borer treatment CEDAR FALLS — The city of Cedar Falls is halting its removal of healthy ash trees to consider treatment alternatives in the wake of destruction by an invasive insect.

City director of municipal operations Mark Ripplinger recently suspended the removal of healthy ash trees after learning of advancements in treatment of trees infected

by the emerald ash borer, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported.

Ripplinger said his staff will present a plan by May 1 to the council to allow property owners — at their own expense — to treat ash trees in the right of way adjacent to their property.

So far, the city has removed about 900 ash trees.

If the city continues that systematic removal, Ripplinger said, a total of 2,500 trees would be felled within seven years at a cost of about $250,000. To treat the remaining 1,500 trees would cost about that much every two years, he said.

But University of Northern Iowa economics professor Fred Abraham, who spoke

about the trees to the City Council last week, said the trees bring value to the city through increased property values, among other things.

“It is heartbreaking to see mature, healthy trees destroyed on the possibility of future problems,” Abraham, a former member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, wrote in a recent newspaper

Sioux City police add LGBTQ liaison to force SIOUX CITY (AP) — The Sioux City Police Department has named its first liaison to the LGBTQ community.

The department announced on Wednesday that Officer Brooke Davies has taken the position to promote communication and cooperation between the police and individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, the Sioux City Journal reported.

Davies joined the department

in August 2012 and is currently assigned to the special traffic enforcement program.

Chief Doug Young said the position is an extension of the department’s community policing approach, which attempts to build relationships with local neighborhoods and minorities.

He said it’s a move other police departments around the country have made.

“Through our community policing efforts, we’re reaching out to all different segments of our

community, and this is a segment that we’ve never reached out to before,” he said. “We live in a diverse community, and we’re here to serve everybody.”

Karen Mackey, director of Sioux City’s Human Rights department, said discussions about naming a liaison to the LGBTQ community began last summer.

The new post will help those who identify as LGBTQ and are victims of crimes feel more comfortable approaching the police, she said.

Emerald ash borers are native to Asia and were first spotted in the U.S. in 2002, when it showed up in Detroit.

The species has since spread to at least 25 states and killed millions of trees.

Iowa now has 45 counties in which emerald ash borer has been found.

Iowa shop specializes in restoring rare British motorcycles

AP Photo Don Nevins works on a 1969 BSA at Cycle Service. Nevins specializes in restoring classic British motorcycles like this one, for customers from all over the country.

FORT DODGE (AP) — One of Don Nevins’ own personal projects is a bit of an eye catcher.

For one thing, it’s a Triumph Bonneville — a British-made motorcycle in an era where such things are not often seen on the road.

For another thing, it’s an unusual model year.

“It’s the first year of the Bonneville,” Nevins told the Fort Dodge Messenger.

“It’s the only year they put this nacelle on it. The next year they went more with the traditional headlight on it.”

It took a good eye to spot its pedigree — the bike had been advertised under the wrong model name.

“I found that in a chicken coop,” Nevins said.

He’s got plenty of experience with the rare motorcycles, though. For more than 20 years, Nevins worked with his brother-in-law at Baxter Cycle, which he said is one of the biggest English bike dealers in the United States.

Today Nevins owns his own restoration business, Cycle Service, in Fort Dodge.

In addition to his own bikes, the workshop under the Veterans Bridge has a collection of a dozen or so bikes of various makes — Nortons, BSAs, Triumph, Matchless, as well some more familiar Hondas and Yamahas he’s worked on.

“I do a few Japanese. But primarily it’s the British stuff,” Nevins said. “There isn’t too many repair shops left for the older British motorcycles. Not too many people restore them anymore.”

That scarcity means his customers are from all over, Nevins said. He works on restoration and repair projects from Nebraska, North Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, and Minnesota, to name a few.

That’s one reason Baxter Cycle, in Marne, grew to be so large back when he worked there, Nevins said.

“It’s just grown from something out of a garage into this big company now.

It’s worldwide,” he said. “We used to send container loads of bikes back to England, Norway, New Zealand, Australia, Japan. Just all over the place.”

Nevins started Cycle Service in 2006.

“My wife got an offer for a job up here. I figured I could work on motorcycles here,” he said.

And he’s been interested in British bikes for a very long time.

“I didn’t actually own a bike. My brothers had one when I was younger, but I could never afford one,” he said.

“After I got married I scrounged enough cash together to buy one.”

His first was a Triumph that he bought from his brother-in-law in the 1970s, which he did the work on himself. Ever since then, he’s been a big fan.

“Back in the ‘60s they were crazy,” Nevins said. “Eighty-five percent of their market was here in the United States, and they were really popular.

They won a lot of races, set some land speed records. But when the Japanese started coming in, they just didn’t keep up with them.

“Japanese (bikes) came in with electric start, they didn’t leak oil, they were really reliable, and they were cheaper.

That was their downfall, not keeping up with the Japanese stuff.”

BSA went out of business in 1973, he

said, and Triumph in 1983.

But Triumph went through a few different hands, and now produces machines reminiscent of its glory days but with a modern twist.

“They’re doing a retro kind of bike, and it’s been really popular. It looks like the old one, and it’s got quite the following.”

The old bikes are a good investment, and keep their value or even increase in value, he said. But he’s not sure how much longer they will be around.

“The people who own these bikes or want them restored are getting up there in age, and I don’t think the younger people are going to follow. I think it’s going to become like the Model As,” he said.

“It’s just grown from something out of a garage into this big company now. It’s worldwide.”

— Don Nevins, Fort Dodge Baxter Cycle

The old British bikes were simple machines. The 1969 BSA currently on Nevins’ workbench has a kickstarter and point ignition-no complex electronics.

The carburetor that usually sits behind the engine hasn’t been reattached yet.

“I rebuilt the whole motor. Every nut and bolt’s been taken apart, plated, whatever,” he said. “I’m waiting for the front wheel to come back from the truer.”

Nevins’ 1959 Bonneville that he rescued from the chicken coop wasn’t owned by an enthusiast.

“He was a heating/air conditioning guy, and he got this for partial payment for a job he did. He just wanted it gone,” Nevins said. “He didn’t know what it was, really.”

The bike was a popular one for Triumph, named after the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah where motorcycle speed record attempts were held.

“They’re not the fastest thing out there anymore, but in their day they were,” Nevins said. “It’s about as old as I am.

“I got that bike when my daughter was 6 years old. Now she’s 30.”

Next to it in the shop is another rare Bonneville.

“That one I just got a motor and frame, and built it up from there. It’s actually the last of the 650s. Then they went to the 750s,” Nevins said. “It’s a ‘74.

It’s a pretty rare bike.”

A man brought him the motor looking for a rebuild. It turned out he was planning on making a chopper. But when Nevins saw the numbers on the engine and frame, he knew the bike was more special in one piece.

“Being that rare of a bike, he didn’t want to do that. I had another motor here and frame, and I just traded him,” he said.

Nevins has also been involved in vintage bike racing at Daytona, during his time with Baxter Cycle. He also did work on a bike for the movie, “Thunderheart,” starring Val Kilmer.

NHS track teams compete at 90th Osky Relays

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News OSKALOOSA — Jaron Roush won a threeway sprint over the 110-meter high hurdles at Saturday’s 90th Osky Relays.

The Newton High junior squeezed out a gold-medal winning time of 16.67 seconds, a fraction ahead of Albia’s Tyler Stringfellow in the Class A division. Albia’s Cade Crall was third in 16.78.

“Jaron beat some very good Albia hurdlers. He just continues to get bet-

ter,” Newton boys’ head coach Tanner Clute said.

“It’s really fun to watch.

For him to keep his three-step into that head wind Saturday was very impressive.”

The Newton track teams were short-handed. Clute and NHS girls’ coaches Rachelle Tipton and Rachel Tomas knew going into the meet the Cardinal ranks would be down because of conflict with choir, band and ACT testing.

Miller to wrestle at Iowa Western

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Not one to shy away from challenges, Newton High senior Alex Miller decided the challenge of collegiate wrestling is one he wants to take on. Miller met the challenge of trying a new sport two years ago and found a passion for the mat.

“I found wrestling two years ago and took off with it. I made a big difference in my skill level from year one to year two,” Miller said after signing a commitment letter Wednesday to wrestle at Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs.

Miller wrestled at 220 and 285 this past season for Newton High’s Cardinals. He went 22-18. Miller finished third at 285 in the Class 3A district tournament in February.

Miller was the Little Hawkeye Conference runner-up at 220. He finished third at 285 at the NHS Cardinal Classic.

Most of Miller’s matches his junior season were at the junior varsity level.

“I liked the Iowa Western campus, but more than that I wanted a challenge as a wrestler. My high school teammates are good, but none were state champions. I wanted to go up against a lot people in practices who will challenge me and make me a better wrestler,” Miller said.

“I really want to be good enough to wrestle at the Division II or Division I level.”

Iowa Western ranked 20th in the final 2017 NJCAA wrestling poll. The Reivers qualified a wrestler in all 10 weight classes in the NJCAA National Wrestling Championships, where the

It’s the third season in a row the Reivers finished in the

top 10 under sixth-year head coach Josh Watts. Iowa Western had it first ever national

champion this season.

CMB girls soccer ends long losing streak but CMB went on to win for the first time in four seasons.

CMB out-shot Webster City 29-10 and had a 14-6 shots on goal advantage. The Raiders also took 11 corner kicks to Webster City’s three.

Raider senior goalkeeper Amanda Harrington had the win between the pipes, recording four saves.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News WEBSTER CITY — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls’ soccer team scored two goals all of last season. After only two matches in 2017, the Raiders have already blew way past that number.

After tallying its first goal in the season-opening loss to Gilbert on Thursday, CMB broke through with five goals in a win over Webster City on Friday. The Raiders led 2-1 at halftime and added three more goals in the second half to win 5-2 on the road.

The win was the first victory for the Raiders since defeating Prairie City-Monroe, 3-2, in 2014. The losing streak ended at 32 matches.

The five goals by CMB were the most goals scored in a single match in at least seven years.

Webster City’s Sarah Vogelbacher put the Lynx up 1-0 in the sixth minute, but CMB junior Tatum Tremain gave the Raiders a halftime lead with two first-half goals.

Tremain’s first goal was set up by freshman Caitlyn Bruntz in the 11th minute. She

Raider girls win nine events, cruise to title at Ballard

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News HUXLEY — Sailor Hinegardner’s four victories led the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls’ track team to a dominating win at Ballard on Friday night.

Hinegardner won the 100-meter dash, long jump and 100 hurdles individually and then opened the 4x100 relay that also won the gold medal.

CMB won the small-school team title by 80 points over Heart of Iowa Conference rival Roland-Story. The Raiders won nine events in total and scored 192 points.

The Norse scored 112 in second, Carroll had 96 in third and Forest City wasn’t too far back in fourth with 85. The rest of the seven-team field included Clarke (48), Woodward-Granger (44) and Pleasantville (10).

“Our team impressed me tonight,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “They stepped up and competed well. I was most impressed that they are

learning what it takes to be good. They all did a great job preparing for the meet, practicing handoffs and practicing and warming up in the Hinegardner blocks and over hurdles.”

Joining Hinegardner as multiple winners were sophomore Lauren Ratliff and senior Heather Jessen. Both were part of the winning 4x800 relay. Jessen led off the relay with junior Ashlee Johnson and freshman Mikayla Houge running the middle legs before the Ratliff anchor. They finished with a time of 10 minutes, 51.80 seconds.

Jessen won the 1,500 in 5:33.17, and Ratliff hit the finish line first in the 800 in 2:38.89. Freshman Olivia Pasquariello finished third in the 800 with a time of 2:51.61.

Hinegardner won the100 in 13.40 seconds, hit the finish line in the 100 hurdles in 16.55

and her best leap in winning the long jump was marked at 15 feet, 8 1/2 inches.

“It’s hard to point out just a couple of girls that ran well, but Sailor had herself quite the night,” Meinerts said.

Hinegardner led off the shuttle hurdle relay that included junior Mary Schabilion, sophomore Gracie Cheville and junior Brianda Bane. That group won the race in a season-best time of 1:12.86.

Sophomore Brenna Thomson gave the Raiders a clean sweep in the distance events.

She won the 3,000 in 12:00.08.

Freshman Holly Jessen made it a 1-2 finish when she crossed the finish line in 12:54.53.

The final win came from freshman Trinity Stover. She won the 200 from the slow heat with a winning time of 29.04.

Bane was the runner-up in the 400 hurdles (1:14.50), and sophomore Josie Wierson was third in 1:17.31.

Sophomore Kailyn Van Ryswyk took second in the shot put (31-11 1/2) and the discus (95-8). Freshman Amber

Weltha helped CMB double up in the discus as she was third with a toss of 87-4.

Senior Megan Ritter was third in the 200 in 29.62.

“We doubled up in 10 events with several 1-2, 1-3 or 2-3 finishes,” Meinerts said.

“We scored a lot of points in the distance events, and our sprinters did great, too.”

Three relays finished third, — the sprint medley, 4x100 and 4x200.

In the sprint medley, an all-freshmen foursome of Rachel Kenny, Stover, Abby Husak and Emily Nation finished in 2:04.05.

The 4x100 included Ritter, Stover, sophomore Shasta Moody and Bane and they finished in 55.43.

The 4x200 included Kenny, Wierson, Stover and Bane, and they finished in 1:58.97.

The Raiders host a co-ed meet at 4:30 p.m. Monday in Baxter.

BOYS North Polk 7, CMB 1 MAXWELL — The Raiders trailed 2-1 at halftime, but North Polk (1-2) scored two goals in the first five minutes of the second half and didn’t look back in the Heart of Iowa Conference victory on Friday.

Sophomore Josh Bruntz scored CMB’s only goal, while sophomore Brendyn Padget had 11 saves in goal.

The Raiders (0-3) took 16 shots, 13 of which were on goal.

“That was a big improvement by our team,” CMB coach Crystal Bruntz said. “Shots were taken by seven different players.”

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Jimmie Johnson still knows how to get to Victory Lane at Texas, even from the back of the field on a track that had changed significantly since his first six wins there.

And also while cramping because of dehydration late in the race that he won Sunday after charging under Joey Logano with 16 laps left .

Johnson discovered right after the start of the 334-lap race that there was a problem with the fluid delivery system in his car. But that and the track changes didn’t keep him from his first win this season, and the 81st in the career of the seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion.

This was the first Cup race in Texas since the 1 1/2-mile facility was completely repaved and changes made to Turns 1 and 2 earlier this year. It was Johnson’s seventh victory at Texas, six in the last 10 races there.

Kyle Larson, the season points leader, finished second for the fourth time this year, but also won at California. Logano, polesitter Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt Jr. rounded out the top five.

Ryan Blaney won the first two stages and gave Wood Brothers Racing, the oldest active team in NASCAR, its longest front-running car in a race in 35 years.

The 23-year-old Blaney finished 12th after leading 148 of 334 laps.

Williamsburg was third with 81 followed by Pella with 75, Albia with 67 and Grinnell in sixth with 46.

South Tama County had 10 points for eighth.

In the girls’ Class A division, Newton was sixth in a field of six teams. Pella dominated with 151 points for the team title. Ottumwa scored 130 points for second followed by Albia with 101, Oskaloosa with 100 and Grinnell with 86 points.

Newton scored 29 points.

“Everyone did well having to contend with a decent head wind on the front stretch. There was also an adjustment to the warmer temperature,” Tipton said.

The Newton boys collected five more medals — three on the track and two in field events. Senior Connor Gholson had a second-place leap of 20 feet, 8 1/2 inches in the long jump. Junior Landon Hansen placed fourth in the shot put with a throw of 41-8.

Junior Matthew Karsten ran the 100 in 12.08 seconds for third. Roush, Karsten and Gholson combined with senior Brennen Dodd to claim silver in the 800 sprint medley relay in 1 minute, 39.32 seconds behind Grinnell’s 1:38.68.

In the 1,600-meter distance medley relay, Ottumwa edged out Newton, 3:42.88 to 3:45.06.

The Cardinal foursome was Roush, Gholson, Dodd and junior Jack Callaghan.

“We were going to go down and try to get some times and jumps for the Drake Relays. We were a bit disappointed when the wind made it very difficult,” Clute said. “I’m proud of the way the kids competed.”

Clute said they were able to work some kinks out of Gh-

Miller Continued from Page 1B Miller, who is 5-foot-9 inches and 220 pounds, was a starting offensive lineman for the Newton football team, which went 6-5 in Class 4A action this past fall. He said he had several minor scholarship offers for football.

“I’m small as a lineman.

I played football for eight years and really got burned out on it. I needed something new and wrestling was it,” Miller said.

“I really like the physical toughness of wrestling. There’s a reason only 30 guys out of our school of 400 boys come out for wrestling.”

He said wrestlers run the hallways of Newton school and other students

Junior Haley Revell had the best day for the Newton girls, collecting two thirdplace medals in the throwing events. Revell was third in the discus with a throw of 98 feet, and third in the shot put with a toss of 34-5 1/2.

“Haley and Miranda (Ervin) had good throws today.

Both saw big improvement in discus and Haley also improved her shot from South Tama,” Tipton said.

“They will keep working and tweaking at our meets this week and hope to see the improvement continue.”

Sophomore Abbie Barr was a double medal winner for the wonder why the wrestlers run. Miller said Newton wrestlers judge how hard their practices are by how many pounds they lose.

Miller said he would like to take off enough weight to wrestle at 197 in college, but would wrestle at 285 if need be.

“I believe I can be a good team leader. I was one of our team captains this year even though I had just been wrestling for two years.

Also, 18 of my 22 wins were by pins. I’m about bonus points to help win team titles,” Miller said.

Miller said he plans to major in athletic training or possibly genetic engineering. He is the son of Doug and Missy Miller.

Sergio Garcia wins Masters playoff AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Sergio Garcia finally showed he has what it takes to win a major, and he has a green jacket to prove it.

Needing his best golf on just about every shot in the final hour at the Masters, Garcia overcame a two-shot deficit with six holes to Garcia play and beat Justin Rose in a sudden-death playoff Sunday for his first major after nearly two decades of heartache.

No one ever played more majors as a pro — 70 — before winning a major for the first time.

Garcia got rid of the demons and the doubts with two big moments on the par 5s — one a par, the other an eagle — in closing with a 3-under 69. It was never easy until the end, when Rose sent his drive into the trees on the 18th hole in the playoff, punched out and failed to save par from 15 feet.

That gave the 37-year-old Spaniard two putts from 12 feet for the victory, and his putt swirled into the cup.

“Ser-gee-oh! Ser-gee-oh!” the delirious gallery chanted to Garcia, who couldn’t contain his emotion.

Rose lovingly patted Garcia’s cheek before they embraced. Garcia turned with arms to his side, blew a kiss to the crowd and then crouched down and slammed his fist into the turf of the green.

“If there’s anyone to lose to, it’s Sergio. He deserves it,” Rose said.

“He’s had his fair share of heartbreak.”

Hinchcliffe grabs first IndyCar Series victory since near-fatal 2015 accident LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — James Hinchcliffe raced to his first victory since his near-fatal accident in 2015 by hanging in a three-lap shootout to the finish Sunday on the streets of Long Beach.

Hinchcliffe had two strong late restarts to win in a Honda for Schmidt-Peterson Motorsports. It was the Canadian’s first victory since 2015 at New Orleans, a month before he nearly bled to death in an accident during practice for the Indianapolis 500.

Hinchcliffe wrecked during a May practice at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and his life was saved by the at-track safety crew that smartly pinched off the blood flow and raced him into surgery. He missed the remainder of the 2015 season, returned to IndyCar last year and then capped it with a runner-up finish on “Dancing With the Stars” during the offseason.

Never did he doubt any of his accomplishments were in jeopardy after his accident.

“Absolutely, I knew from day one I had the best support,” said Hinchcliffe, who considers winning at Long Beach a crown jewel event. His sights are

now set on the Indianapolis 500 and his home race in Toronto.

Sebastien Bourdais followed his season-opening victory at St. Pete with a second-place finish to give Honda a 1-2 podium finish.

Josef Newgarden was the highest finishing Team Penske driver and was third in a Chevrolet.

Scott Dixon was fourth in a Ganassi Honda, and defending race winner Simon Pagenaud, from Penske, drove from last to fifth.

It was a miserable day for Andretti Autosport, which seemed to have a shot at putting at least one driver on the podium. Instead, Marco Andretti retired early with an issue. Then, in the final 17 laps, the remaining three Andretti cars all had race-ending problems.

Alexander Rossi slowed on the front stretch to bring out a full course caution, and Hinchcliffe took the lead as Dixon pitted.

Hinchcliffe still had to hold off Andretti driver Ryan Hunter-Reay, but he stopped on course with a mechanical problem to bring out another caution. Moments earlier, Andretti driver Takuma Sato also came to a stop on the course.

Hawk golf teams fall in SICL action

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News LYNNVILLE — Playing their home course wasn’t enough to pull out wins in South Iowa Cedar League conference triangular play for Lynnville-Sully’s golf teams on Thursday.

The Hawk squads hosted English Valleys and BGM for a nine-hole meet at Diamond Trail Golf Course.

English Valleys won the girls’ division with a four-player score of 234. Lynnville-Sully came in with a 245 for second and BGM was third with a 257.

BGM racked up a threestroke win over English Valleys to claim the boys’ division title, 191-194. Lynnville-Sully was

third with a 235.

Tallying 57s to lead the Hawk girls were Tessa Van Maanen and Kaylee Van Maanen, which tied them for third place. Grace Conrad of English Valleys and Hailey Hershay of BGM were atop the leaderboard for the girls with rounds of 54. English Valley’s Lexie Miller shot a 58 for fifth.

Other scores for Lynnville-Sully’s girls were a 63 by Mikayla Smith and a 68 for Kristine Jaennette. Kayla Van Dyke’s 94 was a non-scoring score.

No Lynnville-Sully boys were in the top five individuals.

BGM’s Kyle Doty was the meet medalist with a 43 followed by English Valleys’ Will Tapken at 45. BGM’s Zan Winter was third

at 47 and English Valleys’ Dan Tapken shot a 49 for fourth.

Three golfers had 50s.

Lynnville-Sully’s low score for the day was turned in by Holden Jensen with a 53. Abram Collins carded a 57 followed by Isaac Collins’ 60 and Trevor Squires’ 65.

Non-scoring scores for the Hawk boys were a 73 by Logan Ingersol and an 85 by Cade Dibello.

Lynnville-Sully’s teams are back on the home course for a 4:15 p.m. tee time Monday with SICL teams Belle Plaine and Iowa Valley.

Hawks edge Mustangs for 2nd at CMB Raiders Relays CMB places fourth, C-M seventh

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — Sophomore Tyson Vander Linden had mixed feelings about Lynnville-Sully’s 4x800-meter relay win Friday night.

Vander Linden would rather be the lead-off runner in relays, but he also wants to do what’s best for the team.

Vander Linden anchored the relay to a gold medal, and that win as part of six victories on the night for a Hawks team that finished second in the team standings. Vander Linden also won the 400 hurdles in a season-best time.

“I would rather start the relay, but Corey (McCoy) is our fastest 800 runner,” Vander Linden said. “He got us a great lead, and the rest of the us finished it off.”

McCoy kicked off the winning 4x800 relay that featured Vander Linden and juniors Carson Dunsbergen and Brevin Hansen. McCoy later won the 800, and then completed the night by anchoring the 4x400 relay to a victory.

Dunsbergen and Vander Linden were a part of that relay, too.

The Hawks’ six victories and six top-four tallies led to the best finish among four area programs competing in the CMB Raider Relays.

Gilbert won the meet with 124 points. Lynnville-Sully, Prairie City-Monroe and Coll i ns - Ma x we l l / B a x te r were separated by nine points in second, third and fourth, respectively.

“It was a great night for us,” Lynnville-Sully coach Mike Parkinson said. “We ran really well and competed against some of the best track programs around. We rose to the challenge and pushed ourselves.

“As we continue to move forward, we were able to see and have some questions answered about our training, our effort, and our mindset — all of which were positive.”

The Hawks scored 98 points. PCM won three races and was runner-up in seven others for 96 points. CMB got two wins from senior Brady Kemp in shot put and discus, and that helped the Raiders to 89 points.

Colfax-Mingo, who was missing senior Jimmy Camp, junior Alex Lewis and freshman Zack Barnes, finished

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Brady Kemp won the shot put and discus and helped the Raiders’ distance medley relay team to a runner-up finish at the CMB Raiders Relays on Friday in Baxter.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Lynnville-Sully sophomore Tyson Vander Linden was part of three wins at the CMB Raiders Relays on Friday in Baxter. One of Vander Linden’s wins came in the 400-meter hurdles.

seventh with 36 points.

PCM did not have the services of senior Noah Clark, who missed the meet due to injury. He won the discus at his last two meets and has the best throw this season in the event among the competitors in the field Friday.

B o n d u r a nt - Fa r r a r (83) finished in fifth, followed by Pleasantville (55). Montezuma (6) and Grand View Christian (2) completed the field.

McCoy got the L-S boys out to a lead in the 4x800. The foursome finished off the win with a season-best time of 8 minutes, 45.98 seconds.

McCoy’s winning time in the 800 was clocked at a season-best 2:07.05. PCM’s Chris Ellens was second to the finish line in 2:11.02.

Vander Linden’s winning time in the 400 hurdles was a season-best 57.15 seconds.

Colfax-Mingo’s Zarek Hill was the runner-up in 1:00.70.

“I finally had better form, and that felt good,” Vander Linden said. “I am really working on not launching over the hurdles and no stutter steps. It’s still there but not as much today.”

The Hawks’ 4x400 relay team finished the night with a victory that put them in second place. The foursome of sophomore Gage Vander Leest, Vander Linden, Dunsbergen and McCoy finished in a season-best 3:36.65.

The final two wins came from senior Ryan Hofer in the 110 high hurdles and the shuttle hurdle relay. Hofer finished the 110 highs in a season-best 15.60. PCM sophomore Cole Dustin grabbed second in a season-best 15.72 and Vander Leest was third in a season-best 16.08.

CMB freshman Brett Livesay finished fourth in a season-best 17.18.

Hofer and Vander Leest teamed up with junior Colten Arment and senior Caden Dunsbergen to win the shuttle relay. That foursome crossed the finish line in 1:04.15.

Gilbert’s Eric Swart won the high jump with a leap of 5 feet, 10 inches. Five area competitors were next. Lynnville-Sully junior Drake Ehresman, Colfax-Mingo’s Reegan Van Dyke, Carson Dunsbergen and CMB sophomore Ben Huff all cleared 5-8.

They finished second, third, fourth, and fifth, respectively.

PCM junior Noah Anderson was part of two of the Mustangs’ three wins. He won the 200 in a season-best 22.88 and then anchored the 4x100 relay to a victory and season-best time of 45.43. That foursome included senior Luke Greiner and sophomores Preston Van Wyk and Brayton Van Dyke.

Anderson credits his big improvements from last year to a lot of work in the offseason.

“I just did lots of leg work in the weight room and a lot of running,” Anderson said. “I think rehab with my broken ankle helped strengthen certain muscles, too.”

Ellens had the team’s other win. He cruised to an easy victory in the 3,200 with a time of 10:20.56.

The Mustangs were second in two other individual events. Greiner was the runner-up in the long jump with a leap of 18-7 1/2, and Van Wyk finished second in the 100 with a time of 11.83.

The Mustangs were the runner-up in three relays — the sprint medley, shuttle hurdle and 4x200.

In the sprint medley, Greiner, Van Wyk, junior Noah Henkenius and Anderson crossed the finish line in 1:40.47.

The same foursome ran in the 4x200 and finished in 1:36.48.

The shuttle hurdle team of sophomores Jarron Trausch, Nick Dredge, Nick Buswell and Dustin finished in 1:05.36.

Kemp and sophomore Will Clapper went 1-2 in the shot put and discus.

Kemp defeated Clapper in the shot put for the first time this season with a winning season-best throw of 50-11.

Clapper’s best toss covered 48-7.

Kemp’s winning throw in the discus was a season-best 136-2. Clapper’s runner-up heave was marked at 132-9.

Kemp gave credit to

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Noah Anderson, third from the left, sprints to the win in the 200-meter dash while sophomore teammate Brayton Van Dyke was fifth at the CMB Raiders Relays in Baxter on Friday night. The Mustangs took third as a team.

former long-time CMB track coach Neil Seales for him reaching 50 feet in the shot put for the first time this season.

Seales tweaked a few things in practice last week.

“Coach Seales came and helped this past week. He changed my technique and moved my placement a little bit,” Kemp said. “I tend to over-think things too much. Tonight, I just relaxed and treated this like a practice.”

Sophomore Ian Thomson and freshman Logan Berg gave the Raiders more double points in the 3,200.

Thomson finished fourth in a season-best 10:42.38 and Berg fifth in a season-best 10:55.33. Thomson also was fourth in the 1,600 in 5:13.40.

The Raiders’ distance medley relay team was second. That foursome included senior Zach Schafer, Kemp, junior Braydon Aker and senior Evan Bianchi, and they finished in 4:05.80.

“I told coach I wanted to run more,” Kemp said. “I want to get more involved and help the team out however I can.

If he needs me to run some relays or whatever, I want to do it.”

Senior John Newton completed CMB’s topthree finishes with a bronze medal in the 100 in a season-best 11.85.

Camp was missing from Colfax-Mingo’s lineup because of a college orientation, while Barnes and Lewis were both out with illnesses.

Hill’s runner-up finish in the 400 hurdles was the Tigerhawks’ best finish of the night. Van Dyke was third in the high jump, and sophomore Ethan Summy placed fourth in the long jump.

“I still have to work on finishing my form,” Hill said of the 400 hurdles. “I hit three hurdles because I got tired.

I need to work on my stamina and getting a better start. I hope to be in the top 10 by the end of the year.”

Colfax-Mingo’s sprint medley team was third overall.

That relay included Summy, sophomore Holister Koenig, Hill and senior Adam Teed, and they finished in a season-best 1:43.90.

The 4x400 relay included Koenig, Teed, Summy and Hill and that group placed fourth in a season-best 3:48.22.

CMB and Colfax-Mingo take part in the Raiders’ co-ed meet at 4:30 p.m. Monday in Baxter. PCM and Lynnville-Sully compete at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday at Pella Christian.
