Sheriff’s office checks on registered sex offenders One arrested, one wanted Newton Daily News The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office checked up on all registered sex offenders in the county Wednesday, yielding one arrest and one wanted.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation assisted as 13 law enforcement officers contacted approximately 66 registered individuals.

The project took about three hours to complete.

The majority of registered offenders were found to be in compliance, which included their current address and contact information.

Yellin piloted the final WWII combat mission in 1945 and now helps veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.

‘From hatred to respect’

WWII vet brings incredible story to Newton

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News Retired Capt. Jerry Yellin piloted the final combat mission of World War II and witnessed the atrocities of war.

He saw death and destruction.

His wingman, Phillip Schlamberg, was the last man killed in WWII combat.

Yellin survived.

After the war, however, Yellin struggled to adapt to civilian life.

The young man (who is now a spry 93) thought about suicide.

He couldn’t hold a job. He was suffering from an undiagnosed case of severe post-traumatic stress disorder.

For 30 years, Yellin felt empty and lonely, even in the presence of a loving family. Then he and his wife found transcendental meditation in 1975, and the stress left his mind and body, he said.

When he was fighting for the Allies, Yellin hated the Japanese.

They were not human to him, he said.

In 1983, Yellin visited Japan for the first time since the war.

His visit to the country nearly 40 years later was completely different. He saw the people of Japan as human beings. He had incredible experiences with food and

Animal rescue league introduces scholarship program

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News The Jasper County Animal Rescue League is serious about wanting the best for the pets in the community, that’s why the ARL has introduced a scholarship program to assist pet owners in need.

Director Rachel Long said the new program is just getting up and running and will aim to help pet owners with pets that end up at the animal shelter. Long said it will also help pet owners who reach out for help because they don’t have the means to get their pets altered, vaccinated or city licensed.

Long said the scholarship will work in coordination with what the different rules are in the cities of Jasper County.

and Clemon-Maki Insurance all sponsored the event.

In addition to his public forum at DMACC, Yellin is meeting with several schools and veterans groups in Jasper County over the next couple days. He’s hosting an event exclusive to veterans and their families on Saturday morning at Newton’s American Legion. Part of Yellin’s current mission is to help today’s veterans with PTSD.

Several city projects that have been in the works are on the agenda for the Newton City Council at its regular Monday meeting. Work at the airport relocating fuel tanks, progress at the former Juice and Junk site of the construction of Hardee’s and a zoning amendment to the C-N zone adding auto sales will all be before council for action.

Speak Out event recognizes sexual assault victims Crisis Intervention Services hosted the event

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News For two years a student, son and friend hid a personal story of a crime that happened to him by someone he trusted.

Five years later, 20-yearold Seth Fahlenkamp is speaking publicly about sexual assault and how he has received resources that changed his life.

Those resources came from Crisis Intervention Services, an organization that works to provide support and empowerment to

victims of sexual assault and domestic violence in ten Iowa counties, including Jasper.

The organization held an event, Speak Out, Thursday at DMACC in Newton to inform the community of the resources available and garnered more than 15 attendees. The event featured three guest speakers, including a sexual assault victim.

Fahlenkamp said he was 16 when he was taken advantage of by his teacher at Montezuma High School, Derek J. Bates.

Bates was also looked up to as a spiritual leader in SPEAK OUT | 3A

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Friday, April 28, the 118th day of 2017. There are 247 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On April 28, 1967, heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali was stripped of his title after he refused to be inducted into the armed forces. U.S. Army Gen. William C. Westmoreland told Congress that “backed at home by resolve, confidence, patience, determination and continued support, we will prevail in Vietnam over communist aggression.” McDonnell Aircraft and Douglas Aircraft merged to form McDonnell Douglas.

On this date: In 1788, Maryland became the seventh state to ratify the Constitution of the United States.

In 1789, there was a mutiny on the HMS Bounty as rebelling crew members of the British ship, led by Fletcher Christian, set the captain, William Bligh, and 18 others adrift in a launch in the South Pacific. (Bligh and most of the men with him reached Timor in 47 days.)

In 1925, the International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts, which gave rise to the term “Art Deco,” began a six-month run in Paris.

In 1942, pollster George Gallup said most Americans preferred to call the then-current global conflict “World War II” or “The Second World War” (other suggestions included “Survival War” or “War of World Freedom”).

In 1952, war with Japan officially ended as a treaty signed in San Francisco the year before took effect. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower resigned as Supreme Allied commander in Europe; he was succeeded

by Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway.

In 1974, former Attorney General John Mitchell and former Commerce Secretary Maurice H. Stans, accused of attempting to interfere in a Securities and Exchange Commission probe of financier Robert Vesco in exchange for a $200,000 contribution to President Richard Nixon’s re-election campaign, were acquitted of all charges by a federal jury in New York.

In 1996, a man armed with a semi-automatic rifle went on a rampage on the Australian island of Tasmania, killing 35 people; the gunman was captured by police after a 12-hour standoff at a guest cottage, and is now serving a life prison sentence.

Ten years ago: A suicide car bomber struck in Karbala, Iraq, killing at least 63 people. A suicide attack on Pakistan’s Interior Minister (Aftab Khan Sherpao) killed 28 people; the official was slightly hurt.

Five years ago: Syria derided United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as biased and called his comments “outrageous” after he blamed the regime for widespread cease-fire violations.

One year ago: Vice President Joe Biden pressed Iraq during an unannounced visit not to let its crippling political crisis upend hard-fought gains against the Islamic State group.

That’s Odd What’s in a name? Bronx Zoo proudly displays ‘snot otters’ NEW YORK (AP) — It’s a salamander by any other name — and some of those names are comical.

The Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bronx Zoo is now proudly displaying two Eastern hellbenders — also known as “devil dogs,” ‘’snot otters” or “old lasagna sides.”

Eastern hellbenders have flattened heads and bodies, small eyes, and slimy, wrinkly skin.

They’re typically brown or reddish-brown with a pale underbelly.

There’s also a serious side to the subject. Efforts are underway to conserve dwindling hellbender populations in the wild.

Entertainment ‘Yep, I’m Gay’: Happy 20th out anniversary, Ellen DeGeneres NEW YORK (AP) — With a headline of “Yep, I’m Gay” on the cover of Time magazine and the same declaration on her sitcom, Ellen DeGeneres made history 20 years ago as the first prime-time lead on network TV to come out, capturing the hearts of supporters gay and straight amid a swirl of hate mail, death threats and, ultimately, dark times on and off the screen.

donations for kitten supplies and monetary donations.”

Nancy Henderson, a member of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church said she is also on the animal rescue league board and felt that the organization is sometimes overlooked.

“Any donations in the community are good, but sometimes it’s easy to forget about our animal rescue league over here,” Henderson said.

The Jasper County Animal Rescue League is at 5411 Liberty Ave. in Newton.

Continued from Page 1A Yellin flew for freedom. He now lives for peace.

In a remarkable twist of fate, Yellin’s son married the daughter of a Japanese Kamikaze pilot. The WWII vet now has three Japanese grandchildren who live in Japan.

The veteran’s lecture at DMACC showed it is wild how times change.

Yellin said it was an honor and a pleasure to be standing in Newton, telling his story. He said he doesn’t expect everyone to learn the lessons he learned during his life.

Over nine decades, Yellin’s journey has been one of a kind.

Yellin learned that things like race, spirituality and language do not have to be barriers between people.

“We are all human beings in the eyes of nature,” he said.

from the runway, existing fuel tanks need to be relocated. The fuel tank relocation project was granted funding through the Iowa Department of Transportation Airport Improvements Program in 2016. Per the agreement, the Iowa DOT will fund 80 percent of the project costs.

An engineering services agreement will go before the council from consultant Clapsaddle-Garber Associates for the design and construction services for the fuel tank relocation project. The total amount for the services is $73,100 with the city needing to contribute 20 percent or $14,620.

Another development project needing further action from the council is the purchase and sale agreement with 4G properties for the former Juice and Junk site. In June 2016, the city approved a purchase and sale agreement with 4G Properties to sell a 1.2 acre parcel for the construction of a Hardee’s restaurant. Through the course of its site planning process, the Hardee’s developer determined that soils on the site needed additional preparation, causing projected costs to increase.

To adjust for the increased costs, 4G is proposing an amendment to reduce the price for the parcel from $100,000 to $80,000 with a closing date of May 19.

Finally, last year an auto dealer was interested in purchasing the property at 1504 W. Fourth St. N. to open a dealership. To adhere to state regulations, the city needed to further work when amending city ordinance to add auto sales as use a for the district.

Revised language has since been added and the planning and zoning commission recommend approval of an amendment adding auto sales as a conditional use with the Neighborhood Commercial District.

Bates was sentenced in January 2017 after he pleaded guilty to two charges of sexual exploitation by a school official.

After the allegations reached law enforcement, Fahlenkamp said all he wanted to do was block out the event and forget about it — he didn’t want people to know he was one of the victims.

Fahlenkamp said for two years he showed no emotion.

Kayla Langmaid/Daily News St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church donated $2,000 toward the new scholarship fund at the Jasper County Rescue League Wednesday. From left, Jim Tracy, animal rescue league director Rachel Long and Nancy Henderson.

Scholarship Continued from Page 1A “We have used it on an as-needed basis, and the first recipient of this was a gentleman who was here in town who had over 30 dogs on his property,” Long said.

“He signed over 26 of them to us and all of them have been adopted, but we did give him the option to keep four of his dogs.”

Long said they did get all of the dogs spaded and vaccinated and city licensed thanks to donated money.

The most recent donation was $2,000 from the St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church.

“It’s an extremely tough thing to go through and you make yourself forget what even happened — you don’t want to remember. Just as the word victim is a part of me, it’s a part of who I am, you still feel a lot of guilt and shame.”

Fahlenkamp said as soon as he spoke out at a church camp, it was the most powerful thing he has done.

“The reason I spoke out was because someone else spoke out,” Fahlenkamp said. “The very first night of this church camp, the speaker spoke about how he was taken advantage of, and like I said, a blocked memory, that thing was unblocked right then and there – the flood

Long said the animal rescue league is always in need of supplies and food especially since they have seen a rise in animals coming in.

“Warmer weather always brings an increase in animals because it’s kitten season now,” Long said. “We are definitely looking for

Fahlenkamp said ever since he had spoken out he has had many relationships form, including a Des Moines pastor Cole Deike, who he met at a metal band concert.

Deike said he remembers meeting Fahlenkamp as he came through a prayer line after the concert.

“We wouldn’t have the friendship we have today if he wouldn’t have spoke out,” Deike said.

Seth’s father Wes said he didn’t think about the problem of sexual assault very often until about two and a half years ago when Seth came to him and his mother to tell them what one of his high school teachers had done to him.

“Now I think about this subject a lot — when

something hits home, it becomes a part of your life, when you see it on the news it may be horrible and it may be tragic but it’s someone else,” Wes said.

Wes said he believes the moment a sexual assault victim speaks out is when things start to change for the better.

“My son was as hero when he spoke out,” Wes said. “Parents, I ask you to believe your child if they tell you they are victims and I ask you to stand with them and do something about it.”

vices, he was skeptical at first and he didn’t think he needed counseling.

“Because I spoke out I had a lot of people supporting me, but then I hit the lowest low I’ve ever hit in my life,” Fahlenkamp said. “I’ve been doing counseling with crisis intervention for about three years and it was something I never considered was for me.”

Fahlenkamp said he has been battling depression and sought counseling from Michellia Friesen, a sexual assault coordinator at crisis intervention. Fahlenkamp said because of the coun-

seling he has progressed over the years.

“Being able to connect with people on the worst things, gives you the power to connect on the best things,” Fahlenkamp said. “When you speak out you don’t just become another statistic of sexual assault, you become the story that no one else can tell.”

Opinion

4A |

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | April 28, 2017

Our responsibility bubbles just beneath the surface S

pace is cold; deathly cold. But maybe not as cold as we once thought.

Beyond the orbit of Mars, past the asteroid belt — 888.2 million miles away from the sun in the shadow of Saturn’s gallant rings, there is an icy world. With a 160-mile radius, Enceladus is tiny — smaller than the Earth and our moon.

Covered in a miles-thick sheet of ice, its white coat makes the moon of Saturn one of the brightest objects in the solar system — reflecting most of the sun’s light which it encounters.

But this tiny ice ball holds a secret — a subsurface ocean which could hold more water than in all the oceans of Earth combined. Scientists have known about the subsurface ocean for years by studying measurements taken ground-based and space telescopes, as well as the man-made Cassini satellite, which is preparing to complete its 20-year mission orbiting Saturn in September.

During the course of its mission,

Cassini observed something fascinating coming from Enceladus’ south pole — jets of frozen water vapor shooting into space from cracks in the moon’s icy crust. These geysers suggest the massive depth of the ocean and have kept scientists interested in the icy body as a place where life could potentially exist outside of the Earth.

Before Cassini plunges into Saturn’s atmosphere this fall, in what NASA is calling the mission’s “Grand Finale,” the tiny space probe has given humanity a gift from the heavens.

During a flyby of Enceladus, the space probe looked at the water ice spewing from the moon’s geysers and found something extraordinary — chemical evidence within the ice jets of rock-water interaction coming from the ocean below.

NASA scientists published their findings earlier this month in the journal Science, but not before a big public announcement April 13.

On Earth, when the organic mate-

Trending Mike Mendenhall rials in water and rock interact with a heat source (i.e. energy) it makes the conditions right for life. On the bottom of our seas, hydro-thermal vents allow heat, energy and material from the Earth’s core to billow to the surface. Scientist believe the chemical signatures found in the water vapor jets coming from Enceladus indicates a similar process happening on that moon’s ocean floor.

Attached to Earth’s hydro-thermal vents, microbes and tub worms use the heat and material coming from the vents as energy, like surface life does with the sun. Scientists now think this could also be possible on Enceladus. The ocean below the icy crust can support life.

The prospect of life — potentially with an independent genesis of that from the life on Earth — clinging to existence on an ocean floor 888 million miles away is, to me, a moment to cry.

I cry in happiness, as the likelihood

of us being truly alone slips even further into myth, but I also cry for the millions of people here on Earth who may never get to hear this revelation.

People in war-ravaged countries without access to reliable media; humans who live under governments and dictators that don’t want their people to know the truth for fear that enlightenment will lead to dissent; their inability to learn they’re possibly not alone in the universe reminds me many human beings are isolated by their own realities.

So we have a responsibility. For those of us who can read this scientific finding and contemplate its meaning for our view of existence, we must foster this information, spread it, encourage our leaders to embrace it and push forward to the next discovery.

We need to transcend the triviality of our daily lives, if only for a moment, to ponder discoveries like Enceladus and say, “Wow. I wonder what else is out there, and what can we do to find it.” Those thoughts and the knowledge they pursue, can change the world.

So Anyway Dana King

The good old days?

Editor’s note: this column originally published April 29, 2016 “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days, before you’ve actually left them.”

Viewers of the (in my opinion) brilliant television mockumentary “The Office” may remember Andy Bernard saying those words in his aside to the camera on the final episode of the long running series.

Truer words were never spoken.

Many parents are readying themselves for their kids to graduate high school. As a mom, I know all too well most of those parents have suddenly realized how quickly the past 18 years have gone by.

Every school event comes with the thought ‘this is the last time I will go to his last basketball game in high school’ or ‘this is the last time I’ll get to see her getting ready for prom.’

Funny how that works.

Many moms (and maybe some dads) gather the scrapbooking materials and sit down with boxes of photos, mounds of memories, and try to select just the right snapshots of special times in their child’s life to paste in a book to share with the parade of people attending graduation receptions. I was one of those people... for my first graduate.

For kids two and three, I opted to create videos documenting their years, and I started in the summer prior to their senior years in high school. Oh, don’t scoff! A 15-minute video of 18 years of a kid’s life takes a long time to assemble. I don’t know how Scorsese does it.

But then, when I saw people — including those of the male gender — shed a few tears while watching those videos of my kids growing up right before their eyes, I knew my months of eye-straining computer work were worth it. And I understood why Scorsese does it.

It was easy to watch those and think back... yes, they were the good old days. However, I am not so far removed from those years that I don’t remember a few not-so-great old days sprinkled in there as well. There were a few times if I could have found the return address for those kids ... but then I’d remember the three c-sections and decided there was no way they were going back where they came from!

I cried at my oldest son’s graduation. I held it together for the other two, not because I didn’t want to cry, but because hubby lost it at those ceremonies.

It’s called teamwork.

It’s been almost 14, 7 and 2 years since those graduations.

But once removed from the craziness of raising a family, I assure you, we now understand every morning we open our eyes will be one of the good old days ... by tomorrow.

Medical cannabis oil expansion a tiny step in the right direction Newton Daily News Editorial

The Iowa Legislature made a modest stride forward with a medical cannabis oil bill slated for Gov. Terry Branstad’s signature.

Under current law, Iowans are allowed to possess cannabis oil for the treatment of epilepsy but it’s essentially illegal for Iowans to obtain it because manufacturing and distribution is illegal, and federal law says it can’t be transported across state lines.

House File 524 would allow for the production and distribution of cannabis oil in Iowa. It’s a step forward for Iowans who suffer from epilepsy, AIDS and HIV, cancer, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, seizures, Parkinson’s disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and many terminal diseases. The watered-down House version that passed on the last day of session neglects many other Iowans enduring the horrors of a myriad of diseases.

The Senate bill provided for more than 20 diseases or conditions in which medical mar-

ijuana could be used. Further, the Senate bill, which passed 45-5, allowed for the use of the whole marijuana plant to maximize higher levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol — the principal psychoactive element of cannabis). The weakened House bill allows oil which contains less than 3 percent THC. The low level of THC could cause manufacturers to pause before submitting proposals to the Department of Public Health, which is authorized to approve two manufacturers and five distributors in Iowa. As widespread budget cuts take hold across state agencies, the funding for the new program hasn’t been appropriated.

Lawmakers have been foolish to move so slowly in allowing for the legalization of medical marijuana, especially when most Iowans support the idea.

It’s unfortunate we’ll endure yet another legislative session in

which helpless Iowans will make their way to the Capitol to showcase their struggles for an static Legislature.

It’s not a matter of Iowa being progressive, it’s a matter of common sense.

The Kora is native to the Mande people who live within the countries of Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Guinea and Guinea Bissau. The music is traditionally played by oral and musical historians known as Griots. The Kora is a melodic and seemingly peaceful instrument, which is somewhat contrary to its musical repertoire.

Teen struggles after heroin addiction claims dad’s life

DEAR ABBY: I’m 15. I lost my dad two months ago. I found him when I got out of the shower.

He had overdosed on heroin.

Heroin controlled Dad’s life ever since I was little, but that never stopped me from being me. My family has had it pretty rough, but that never stopped me from being me, either.

I can’t process the thought of losing my dad completely. I’m scared without him. The mental picture comes back to me randomly throughout the day. I can’t take it anymore. I know he’s at peace now, but I still feel like it’s my fault that he’s dead because I took a shower and wasn’t with him. I feel like it should have been me, not him. He had just gotten out of jail a month before he died.

I can’t keep crying myself to sleep. I need a way to cope and right now I feel like I’m at rock bottom and can’t return. I just want to be normal like the kids I go to school with. Why can’t I be a normal teen? — ROCK BOTTOM TEEN DEAR ROCK BOTTOM: I am so sorry for what you have been going through. You ARE a normal teen, and in my opinion, you are much more resilient than you think you are.

You have had a terrible shock, and in addition to the normal grieving process, you may be suffering from survivor guilt. Your father did NOT die because you took a shower. He died because he had a heroin addiction he couldn’t conquer.

It is very important that you talk with a grief counselor and possibly join a grief support group. If your family can’t arrange

counseling for you, please talk with a school counselor or your clergyperson. There is a light at the end of this dark tunnel, and you’ll start seeing it once you get some professional help.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been reading your column for years, but never thought I’d have to write to you. This year my aunt hosted a family dinner and did a wonderful job — everything was delicious. There was only one problem. She was upset (everyone at the table could see it and feel the tension) because I ate “too much” meat and she didn’t have enough for leftovers.

I did eat more than everyone else that night (doesn’t happen often), but I say if the food is on the table, it’s fair game. If you don’t want people to eat it, don’t serve it. I’m asking for an official ruling, please. — OVERATE IN BUFFALO DEAR OVERATE: A gracious host or hostess should not become upset if a guest eats the food that’s presented. If the host or hostess doesn’t want guests to polish off everything that has been prepared, the food should be plated in advance.

Superintendent under investigation by school district SIOUX CITY — The Sioux City school board is investigating allegations against the district superintendent that were raised by the district budget director before he was ousted. Board President Mike Krysl told the Sioux City Journal earlier this week that the board “is undertaking an investigation that we think is an appropriate follow-up to the allegations that were raised.” The board approved a resignation package April 10 for budget director John Chalstrom, who’d been placed on leave Feb. 13.

DES MOINES — A state judge has ruled that the Iowa Department of Transportation has the authority to order cities to remove automated traffic-enforcement cameras from highways and interstates.

Medical marijuana advocates say Iowa program too limited

Dubuque teen looks to help others after 18 surgeries

DES MOINES (AP) — A medical marijuana oil program approved by the Iowa Legislature might not offer much help to patients with qualifying medical conditions, but advocates say it’s at least a step in the right direction.

The measure approved by lawmakers in the final hours of the legislative session Saturday would expand a little-used program now only available to people with epilepsy. If signed

by Gov. Terry Branstad, the law would allow the limited production of cannabis oil at two locations in Iowa and legalize its use for an additional eight conditions.

Despite the expansion, medical marijuana advocates said the decision to cap the level of the active ingredient and limit the means of ingestion means the program has limited value.

Sen. Joe Bolkcom, a Democrat from Iowa City, called the program “the worst in the country.”

“For people who were opposed to doing any-

DUBUQUE (AP) — As she looks back on her 19 years, Betsy Till is grateful for the surgeries, medical stays and physical therapy that marked much of her childhood.

Betsy was born with a limb deficiency that left her right leg shorter than her left. The process of correcting the issue has stretched over most of her life.

Betsy’s parents adopted her from China when she was a small child. From that time until almost two years ago, she received extensive medical treatment to lengthen her leg.

That process has opened up more opportunities for Betsy as she has gotten older. As she prepares for the next phase of her life, she wants to pay forward the help that was given to her.

“It allowed me to be able to live a normal life, the kind of life I probably would have wanted to live,” she said. “There was nothing really holding me back once I started doing the limb-lengthening surgeries.”

In 2001, Gini Till began the paperwork to adopt her second child from China. She worked with Holt International, a Christian organization that facilitates international adoption services.

Gini asked if she could adopt a child with clubfoot, a condition she experienced when she was younger. Gini was told about

thing, I suppose they think this is a big deal,” he said. “But the fact of the matter is that they shouldn’t have put all the conditions in the bill because the medicine isn’t going to provide a therapeutic benefit for eight of the nine conditions, and that’s sad.”

Besides prohibiting smoking, vaporizing or consuming marijuana edibles, the bill limits the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, allowed in the oil to 3 percent. THC is the compound known for psychoactive effects, and by capping it at 3 percent advocates said it limits the oil’s potential to help conditions besides seizures.

Some programs, mainly in conservative states, have caps with even smaller percentages of THC. Only 38 people have medical cannabis cards under Iowa’s current system, which makes it illegal to manufacture or distribute the oil. It’s unclear how many more would enroll if the new program is signed into law.

AP Photo In this April 15 photo, Betsy Till, a Wahlert Catholic High School senior, was born with one leg shorter than the other and has gone through more than a dozen surgeries to correct the problem, poses in Dubuque.

a young girl who had a limblength difference, but another family already was interested in adopting her.

Eventually, the original family realized that they were too far from the medical health care the young girl would need. Gini received a picture of the child who soon would become her daughter.

“There was her picture in front of a white picket fence with roses, and that’s always been my sign from the guy upstairs,” Gini said. “That was it. She was in my heart.”

Betsy was adopted in October 2001, and her parents took her home to Dubuque. She was 3 years old.

Betsy was diagnosed with proximal femoral focal deficiency. Her right leg was nearly five inches shorter than her left.

Betsy’s new family quickly began providing her with medical care to correct the limb difference.

Initial attempts at surgery and leg lengthening were unsuccessful, so her parents sought care at The Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics in Baltimore.

Indian Hills team places in Iowa Dental Assistants Association competition Newton student part of the team that earned second place Newton Daily News OTTUMWA — Riley Van Gilst, an Indian Hills Community College student from Newton, was part of a team of IHCC students from the Dental Assisting program who took part in an Iowa Dental Assistants Association competition this past weekend in Coralville.

The Indian Hills team, which

also included Shelby Selvy, Holly Milby and Becca Vos, presented Table Clinics and earned second place in the head-to-head competition with Kirkwood Community College, Iowa Western Community College, and Hawkeye Community College. A panel of judges made up of the district trustees and current officers of the IDAA determined the winning entries.

“These young people are a very positive representation of the Dental Assisting program at Indian Hills,” said Program Director Carol Sexton-White. “Instructor Kim Brown and myself are very proud of each one of them.”

Dental Assisting is a 12-month program at Indian Hills that began accepting students in the fall of 2013. Dental Hygiene is the newest addition to the Health Sciences division at IHCC. Core classes in that program started being offered at the beginning of the current academic year last fall.

Applications still being accepted for summer media experience for high school students The INF has again partnered with the Iowa Association of Business and Industry Foundation’s Business Horizons program to offer an indepth media experience for Iowa high school students (9-12 graders.)

The Business Horizons (BH) program is a one-of-a-kind, hands-on, action-oriented weeklong summer program for high school students

who want to learn about the world of business and what the future holds for them. For the second year, Business Horizons will offer a media track for students interested in a career in the newspaper industry.

The goal of the media track is to develop the next generation of Iowa newspaper professionals.

The program has been designed to spark stu-

dents’ understanding of the media industry as a viable career opportunity in Iowa.

The camp will be held July 20-24 on the campus of Central College in Pella. High school students who participate in Business Horizons and then go on to attend Central College will be guaranteed a minimum of $12,000 in Central College scholarship assistance. An option

to earn college credit will also be available.

An $80 discount is currently being offered.

At this special discounted rate, the week-long program is only $300. If you are interested in getting involved with the program or know a student who would like to attend, please contact Jana Shepherd at jshepherd@ inanews.com or 515-4229051.

Young Clapper gains valuable experience at Drake Relays

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Seamus Vandemore competes at No. 1 singles for the Cardinals against visiting Indianola in Thursday’s home tennis dual. Vandemore lost his match as Indianola won the Little Hawkeye Conference meet, 9-2.

Indians beat Cardinal boys

Newton High’s Collin Hemann posted a 6-3, 6-1 as the lone singles win of Thursday’s Little Hawkeye Conference dual for the Cardinals. The Cardinals trailed the visiting Indianola Indians 5-1 heading into the doubles matches.

Grant Hamand and Devon Van Brogen combined to claim a come-from-behind win for

Newton in doubles action.

Hamand and Van Brogen beat Indianola’s Bradyn Upchurch and Matthew Beals 0-6, 6-4 (15-13) at No. 3 doubles.

Hemann’s win came at No. 4 singles. Hamand lost to the Indians’ Christian Jauron 6-0, 6-1 at No. 5 singles. Van Brogen played singles for the first time, losing 6-0, 6-2 to Upchurch at No. 6 singles.

Newton, Lynnville-Sully girls compete in Pella Tulip Time Relays

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — Most of Thursday was gloomy with overcast skies and had a cold breeze but then the sun broke through late in the afternoon. It was still cool and when the sun went down it was cold out.

“The weather conditions ended up being better than expected with sunshine and calm winds yet cooler temperatures,” Lynnville-Sully girls’ head track coach Darin Arkema said.

Newton High’s girls and the Lynnville-Sully girls competed in Thursday’s Pella Tulip Time Relays hosted by Pella High School. The Cardinals finished fourth in the Class AA division, won by Pella. The Hawk girls were in the Class A division, taking third — one point behind Colfax-Mingo.

Pella rolled up 168 points for the Class AA win followed by Prairie City-Monroe with 139 points. Oskaloosa was third with 107 points and Newton

DES MOINES — Will Clapper’s first experience inside Drake Stadium wasn’t exactly what he had hoped for. That doesn’t mean his first trip to the Drake Relays wasn’t a success.

The Raider sophomore did not have a personal-best throw but he moved up one spot from his seed, finishing 22nd overall with a throw of 48 feet, 7 1/2 inches.

Clapper entered the meet as the 23rd qualifier out of 24. He was better than two Class 4A throwers and was the only sophomore in the field.

“The hard part is qualifying,” Clapper said. “As the youngest guy here, this is kind of what I expected. It was really cool though.”

CMB coach Josh Russell knew the task Thursday would be tough for his young thrower, but the experience will take him a long ways.

“The experience he got

and the opportunity he got is the biggest thing,” Russell said. “He represented himself well. He can build on this and learn from it.”

Clapper has aspirations of a Division I football scholarship. He was competing against a handful of athletes who will play for the University of Iowa next season. So Clapper feels good about his career path so far.

“These kinds have been throwing at Drake for a few years and they got recruited to play football at Iowa. I have those same aspirations so it’s lining up well so far. I want to follow their paths.”

One of those Iowa recruits won his second straight Drake Relays shot put title. Mount Vernon’s Tristan Wirfs won the event with a toss of 66-3 1/2 on his fifth throw. Four athletes hit beyond 60 feet Thursday.

Iowa City Regina’s Jared Brinkman was the runner-up at 65-2 1/2.

scored 77 points. Finishing fifth was Pella White JV with 35 points followed by Ottumwa with 32 points and Centerville with 28 points.

“We had a solid showing tonight. The girls are improving their performances and becoming more consistent,” Newton coach Rachel Tomas said. “We are nearing the end of our season so want to continue to see our best performances each meet.”

Pressgrove, Baumgartner collect wins for Cardinals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News INDIANOLA — Bethany Baumgartner ran her record to 4-1 in Little Hawkeye Conference singles tennis competition and Megan Pressgrove improved to 4-0 as Newton High’s Cardinals fell to host Indianola, 8-3, on Thursday.

Baumgartner, a junior, captured a 6-1, 6-2 win over In-

dianola senior Maddie Clatt at No. 2 singles. Pressgrove, a senior, notched a 6-3, 6-3 win over junior Megan Grubb. The Cardinal duo defeated Grubb and Clatt, 6-2, 6-1, in No. 1 doubles action.

Baumgartner is 7-1 on the season in singles action. Pressgrove, who missed a LHC dual with Pella, is 6-1 overall.

The dual loss gave Newton a 3-2 conference mark and a

Simple is good in sports S

imple little things done right build into bigger and better things — wins. Coaches from the beginning of time have talked about doing the little things — fundamentals — right time in and time out.

Frustration sets in for players, coaches and fans when things just don’t mesh on the field or court. We all want our teams to be successful, which translates into winning. But coaches, parents and fans cannot do the things on the field or court, it is up to those athletes who have made the commitment to play a sport to do.

The other night through my camera lens I saw an example of being just off by a step. The soccer ball was right at the goal line with the opposing goal-

4-4 overall mark. The Cardinals have one more LHC dual on May 4 at Oskaloosa. They play at 4:15 p.m. Monday in a triangular with North Polk and host Saydel.

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets keeper out of position, but the backside player was behind the play by a step and the ball traveled past the goal and out of bounds.

In golf, a solid strike off the tee box to put the ball in the fairway is the start of good things to come. Fairways and greens, long game and short game, course management — all the details of the game have to be attended to in order to have the low scores and the high rewards on the golf course.

Placement is important in most sports — tennis and even in track.

Relay runners need to have their timing and placement of exchanging the baton down pat. Tennis players know where to place the ball on serves, whether to move to the net on a shot

or stay back.

Any team sport depends on each player doing the job they are assigned.

Every player is important. Every assignment is important.

Coaches talk about aggressiveness, intensity, passion and teamwork. Doing your job on the team to the best of your ability allows a teammate to do his or hers and it builds from there.

Every one of us has a down day and off night, but we keep trying. We keep moving forward together.

Working hard together in practice translates to working hard together in games. The veterans reach across and bring younger players with them with their leadership and strong work ethic. “This is how we do it together.”

Bring your A game every time out.

There will be games when the opposing team is just better, but don’t let it out work you. Find the passion to do the best together and good things will happen.

Talking of frustration — what has become of my Kansas City Royals? They are 7-14 and in last place in the American League Central Division. I know, I know there are 162 games in the season, but man, we’re not scoring runs.

Right now, the Royals are 30th in the Major Leagues in batting average at .204 and 30th in runs scored 54.

The Royals have hit 20 home runs, but have allowed 18 home runs.

Several glimmers of hope are starting pitching from Jason Varges, Ian Kennedy and Danny Duffy. Varges has a 1.40 ERA while Kennedy is at 2.08 and Duffy is at 2.81. Kansas City just finished a brutal road trip.

The Royals open a 10-game home stand Friday against three divisional teams — Minnesota, Chicago White Sox and Cleveland. I’m hoping being at The K will light the passion in my Royals.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Defense was supposed to dominate in the first round of the NFL draft.

It did, eventually. It just took a while.

After the Browns took Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett with the No. 1 overall pick Thursday night, eight of the next 11 picks were offensive players in a surprising opening day. Overall, 19 of the 32 players were from the defense, which was closer to projections.

The first stunning move was the Bears trading with the 49ers to select North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky at No. 2.

“It was just pretty much silence,” Trubisky said. “That’s why I’m surprised to hear my name called because we didn’t have a lot of contact. I just think they ... were impressed with me at the combine and my workout. But yeah, I haven’t had a whole lot of contact with them, so that makes it so much more exciting.”

Considering the wild nature of the opening round, Friday’s second and third rounds could feature more of the same.

Among the players still available are Florida State running back Dalvin Cook, Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer, Alabama offensive lineman Cam Robinson, Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon, and UConn defensive back Obi Melifonwu. Cook was an All-American last season.

After taking Garrett, the Browns added Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers and tight end David Njoku as they look to improve off a horrendous 1-15 season. The Browns were the first team since Minnesota in 2013 to have three first-round picks.

The Chiefs and the Texans also got in on the bartering to get quarterbacks. Kansas City moved from 27 to 10 for Patrick Mahomes of Texas Tech. And Houston made a trade with the Browns and selected Deshaun Watson, who led Clemson to the national title last season.

“You’re trying to anticipate what’s going to happen,” Texans GM Rick Smith said. “The foundation for this move was laid earlier with Sashi (Brown, Cleveland’s VP of football operations).

“You’ve got all kinds of scenarios that you have to run to be prepared, because as much as you think you’re prepared when the draft starts, it’s such a fluid process that you’ve got to be able to react, and the only way to do that is to be in some respects prepared.”

The first run of defensive players started with Arizona taking Temple’s Haason Reddick at No. 13, which drew a big cheer from the huge crowd at Philadelphia’s Museum of Art — city officials estimated 100,000 attended the Draft Experience.

The Eagles went next and picked defensive end Derek Barnett. But it was what was going on around him that surprised Philadelphia’s Howie Roseman.

“We had a lot of scenarios, but we did not have any scenarios like what’s happened here,” the Eagles’ executive vice president of football operations said.

After not having any players selected in the top 15, Alabama ended up having the most taken in the first round: Baltimore took cornerback Marlon Humphrey at 16, Washington got defensive tackle Jonathan Allen at 17, Tampa Bay selected tight end O.J. Howard at 19, and San Francisco took linebacker Reuben Foster at 31.

One controversial pick was Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley, who was drafted by Oakland at No. 24. Days before the draft, allegations emerged that Conley raped a woman in

Cleveland. He called the accusations “completely false” and no charges have been filed.

Conley was named in a police report that details the allegations but no information has been forwarded to prosecutors.

Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie sounded confident the situation will be resolved.

“The research was done,” McKenzie said. “It wasn’t just a gut (feeling). It was based on research. We are very confident in the information that we gathered.”

Earlier in the draft, the 49ers took Stanford tight end Solomon Thomas at No. 3, and LSU running back Leonard Fournette went to Jacksonville at No. 4. The Titans rounded out the top five with Western Michigan wide receiver Corey Davis.

The New York Jets took LSU safety Jamal Adams at No. 6 for the third defensive pick in the top 10. He was followed by wide receiver Mike Williams as the first pick of the Los Angeles Chargers, then running back-kick returner Christian McCaffrey went to Carolina.

Cincinnati surprised some by taking speedy wide receiver John Ross from Washington.

Kansas City, which was 12-4 and won the AFC West last season and has Alex Smith at quarterback, may have found his replacement in Mahomes.

It was only the third time in the common-draft era Kansas City selected a quarterback in the first round, and the first since Todd Blackledge failed to live up to expectations from the 1983 draft.

“Right now, Patrick isn’t absolutely ready to play. He’s got some work to do,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.

“But he’s coming into a great room, he has an opportunity to learn from Alex, which will be a great for him. We have to have some patience with him, but he has tremendous upside.”

Upside is what it’s all about on Day 1 of the draft.

Six wins guide Mustang girls to runner-up finish at Tulip Time Relays

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PELLA — The Prairie City-Monroe girls’ track and field team was the only small school program in the Class AA field at the Tulip Time Relays on Thursday.

That still didn’t stop the Mustangs from another toptwo team finish.

PCM won six events, five third in five events and placed in the top three in 13 of the 19 total events. That helped the Mustangs score 139 points.

Class 3A Pella won the meet with 168 points. The rest of the field seven-team field included 3A Oskaloosa (107), 4A Newton (77), Pella JV (35), 4A Ottumwa (32) and 3A Centerville (28).

“There seems to be a similar story for our team,” PCM coach Bridget Martin said.

“We continue to perform against larger schools and continue to place in the top two.

“Placing second as the only 2A school in the our class

Continued from Page 2B Senior Adam Teed was third overall in 55.6.

The distance medley relay team of Nathan Evans, Will Dunsbergen, Cauy Fitch and junior Alex Lewis finished second.

Three other relays placed in the top three.

Colfax-Mingo did not have sophomores Holister Koenig and Zarek Hill. Both athletes were held out to rest some nagging injuries.

All five wins by PCM were in individual events. Senior Chris Ellens won the 1,600 and 3,200, sophomore Cole

Clapper

Continued from Page 1B Western Dubuque’s Will Blaser finished third at 62-1 3/4 and Nick Phelps of Kingsley-Pierson/Woodbury Central took fourth with a throw of 60-9.

Future Iowa Hawkeyes Levi Duwa of Mid-Prairie and Coy Kirkpatrick of Madrid finished seventh and ninth, respectively.

team of Cowman, Kuecker, sophomore Morgan Uhlenhopp and Vos finished second in 1:12, the sprint medley relay team of Foster, Miller, Vos and Stafford were second in 1:58.57 and the distance medley relay of Miller, Uhlenhopp, Schut and Vos finished second in the 4:34.77.

“We had a lot of girls do some things tonight, and we are excited about the depth we are showing as we approach the big meets at the end of the season,” Martin said.

Miller was third in the 100 (13.57) and Foster placed third in the 400 (1:05.38).

Senior Tatum Nearmyer, a three-time state qualifier, missed her second straight meet. PCM administration is not commenting on her absence.

The Mustangs compete in the Heart of Iowa Conference meet at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in Baxter.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Dustin claimed victory in the 110 high hurdles and junior Noah Anderson sprinted to a win in the 200.

Senior Noah Clark won the discus and finished second in the shot put. He added two more feet to his personal-best shot put toss with a mark of 49-6 1/2. Dustin finished third in the high jump. Senior Gabe Stover finished third in the Class B discus with a throw of 114-8.

The 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams finished second.

The 4x100 foursome included Peyton Strover, sophomore Preston Van Wyk, Brayton Van Dyke and Anderson, and they finished in 46.0. The 4x200 team of Strover, Henke-

nius, Noah Hirayama and Van Wyk finished in 1:36.58.

The final two top-three finishes came in the shuttle hurdle relay and the 4x400.

PCM senior Luke Greiner and sophomore Jarron Trausch missed their second straight meet. Administrators at the school were contacted, but they are not commenting on their absences.

The Raiders’ best finish was second by Joe Keeling.

Keeling and Ben Gunderson were 2-3 in the 400 hurdles, freshman Logan Berg finished third both the 1,600 and 3,200 and sophomore Will Clapper finished third in both the shot put and discus.

The 4x800 relay and dis-

tance medley were both third for the Raiders. The 4x800 relay included junior Noah Rhoades, junior Max Van Maanen, Senior Evan Bianchi and Cheville. The distance medley relay team was third and it included senior John Newton, senior Zach Schafer, Ben Huff and Rhoades.

CMB competed in the meet without the services of juniors Marcus Mitchell and Carter Fricke.

Mitchell was held out due to injury, and Fricke was attending a CMB boys soccer game.

PELLA — Colfax-Mingo senior Dakota Hostetter is known for distance running.

She’s a two-time state qualifier in the 1,500-meter run and she has helped the Tigerhawks to three straight state meet D. Hostetter trips as the 800 anchor leg on the distance medley relay.

As her career comes to a close, Hostetter is starting to show she can get it done in the sprints, too.

Hostetter won the 200 at the annual Tulip Time Relays on Thursday. That finish, and three other wins, helped the Tigerhawks to a second-place team finish.

Colfax-Mingo edged Lynnville-Sully by a point for the runner-up position. The Tigerhawks scored 92 points.

Pekin cruised to the team title with 181 points. L-S (91), North Mahaska (86), Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont (72), Pella Christian (60) and Twin Cedars (1) also competed in the Class A field.

Hostetter and freshman Abbey McConeghey were part of two wins on the night.

Hostetter won the 200 with a time of 27.8 seconds, which ranks in the top 30 in Class 1A. McConeghey grabbed another 1,500 gold medal. She finished that race in 5 minutes, 16.10 seconds.

Hostetter and McConeghey teamed up with Jordan Atwood and sophomore Colbee Cunningham to win the distance medley relay.

Atwood and Cunningham ran the 200 legs, Hostetter sprinted around the track once and McConeghey went twice around as the anchor leg. They finished in a season-best 4 minutes, 37.16 seconds, which currently ranks 14th in 1A. The other first-place finish came from senior Alivia Haley in the discus. She won the event with a throw of 99 feet, 0 inches.

The Tigerhawks went 1-4 in the discus and finished 2-3 in the shot put.

In the shot put, junior Rhiannon Haley took second with a season-best toss of 33 feet, 5 inches. Sophomore Braedynn Rawlins finished third with a throw of 32-9 1/2.

The final top-three finish on the night came from sophomore Ilia Hostetter in the 3,000. Hostetter finished second with a time of 12:37.20.

The Tigerhawks compete in the South Iowa Cedar League outdoor meet at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at Iowa Valley.

Clapper, who also competed at the boys’ meet in Monroe on Thursday, came in with a qualifying throw of 52-3. He is still ranked in the top 10 of 2A but has a lot of work to do to reach his goal of securing a medal at the state track meet.

“I still need to work on my glide. I didn’t have a coach in middle school, so I basically just started this my freshman year,” Clapper said. “I am working on it a lot, getting it faster and really put the chest

out and pop it. There are still several things I am still working on.”

Russell preaches fundamentals in his program. The next step for Clapper is to go out and just compete.

“The throws need to be automatic,” Russell said. “He is so focused on making sure he is still doing everything right.

He will get to where he is just competing at some point.”

The shot put competition once again took place inside

Drake Stadium. That’s a much different environment than throwing in small towns like Baxter.

“It was a little overwhelming,” Clapper said. “The environment and the guys throwing. Everyone throws over 50, and that doesn’t happen at all the other meets.”

Clapper has the perfect throwing mate, too. He and CMB senior Brady Kemp have been 1-2 in several meets this season. They push each other

and both want to win a state medal in the shot put and compete at state in the discus.

“We push each other in practice. Neither of us likes to lose to the other guy,” Clapper said. “I never want him to beat me because he gives me a bunch of crap, and he nevers want me to beat him because I am younger than he is.”

Stafford

Samson

tonight, I would say we performed very well.”

Senior Rachel Stafford and freshman Lexi Kuecker were each part of two wins.

The Mustangs won three individual events and three relays.

Sophomore Maddie Samson won the discus with a lifetime best throw of 113 feet, 6 inches. That’s the 16th best throw in 2A. The other two individual wins came from sophomore Megan Cowman and Kuecker.

Cowman won the 100 hurdles with a time of 17.28.

Kuecker won the long jump with a leap of 14-2.

The 4x100, 4x400 and

4x800 relay teams all finished third.

Freshman Sierra Foster, Kuecker, Meghan Kinnamon and junior Ashley Miller won the 4x100 with a time of 54.64 seconds.

The 4x400 team of senior Jayci Vos, sophomore Paytan Schut, freshman Kate McCarthy and Stafford won in 4:14.71, which ranks 12th in 2A. Freshman Sayde White, sophomores Sloan Hjortshoj and Kirsten Ives and Stafford won the 4x800 in 10:25.22.

“As we approach the conference and state qualifying meet, we are trying to fine tune a few things and make some decisions,” Martin said.

“We are trying to figure out how to maximize points as a team and are looking for girls to step up at this crucial part of the season.”

Stafford was the runner-up in the 800 in 2:29.77 and White finished second in the 1,500 with a season-best time of 5:31.33.

As uncomfortable as love goddess Venus is traveling through Aries, the realm of the warrior, it sure seems like she can’t get enough of that part of the sky. The edginess returns to romance. It’s a passionate transit (a plus), but unfortunately, there’s potentially a lot of energy wasted on intensity of feeling that could be put to more productive use.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

It’s said that penguins fall in love and even give each other gifts. A male penguin has been known to search an entire beach for the right pebble for his mate. You’ve pretty high standards for love yourself these days.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re not petty; you’re generous! You don’t condemn anyone for committing minor social sins, such as interrupting others or talking over the entertainment. And yet, today, you’ll favor those with superior social habits.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You’ve endured plenty of

adversity on your own. The people who are in your life are there because you want them there, not because you need them. Today they sense your strength and also their honored position.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’re often hopeful, but it’s not necessarily your first response. That’s why the one who makes you feel like there’s something special and magical in your future is a person you should hang out with more often.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

It’s as though there was a leap without a landing. The unfinished thoughts are beautiful in their incompleteness, if you can bear the tension that takes the place of closure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may be considering taking things to the next level in a relationship, going from someone’s “other” to someone’s “only.” Whether this is business-related or personal, exclusivity is a pretty big step, not to be rushed into.

Satisfaction in this will be brief. You’re already questing anew.

Coyle leads Newton girls at Linda Bloom Invitational

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — Lizzy Coyle pulled out her best 18-hole score in leading Newton High’s Cardinal girls to 10th place at Thursday’s Marshalltown Linda Bloom Invitational at Marshalltown’s American Legion Memorial Golf Course.

Coyle, a senior, shot a 95 on rounds of 45 and 50 to tie for 21st overall. Junior Alyana Reynolds carded a 98 (5147) for 28th.

“Lizzy had a very consistent round of 18 holes today. She was able to stay out of trouble,” Newton head coach Scott Enyart said. “She had three pars on her first six holes, and she was striking the ball better than she did on Tuesday at home.”

Enyart said Reynolds had two pars on the day, but had three holes which jumped up and got her. He said she finished strong with five straight bogeys. Enyart said Reynolds stuck with her routine, and played aggressively, but smart.

Ankeny Centennial’s Tenley Moret-

tii was the meet medalist with a 74 on back-to-back rounds of 37. Waukee’s Brooke Boardman was runner-up with a 77 (39-38).

Waukee claimed the team title with a 342 and Ankeny Centennial was second at 351. Nevada followed with a 363 and Grinnell was fourth at 368. Mason City took fifth with a 369 followed by Southeast Polk at 383, Marshalltown at 385, Des Moines Roosevelt at 415 and Grundy Center in ninth at 426.

Newton finished with a 429 four-player score to take 10th. Norwalk placed 11th at 430 followed by Ottumwa at 434, Ames at 460 and Fort Dodge at 522.

“It was a cold, blustery day and the greens were a little rough,” Enyart said. “We took steps in the right direction from the lessons we learned on the golf course.”

Junior Taylor Dydell shot a 109 (5554), tying for 49th overall. Enyart said Dydell struggled on the greens with a lot of three putts. Freshman Jordon Pritchard finished with a personal-best 127 (69-58) for 18 holes, which tied her for 74th. Enyart said Pritchard

Eleventh-ranked ADM Tigers shut out Cardinals on the pitch

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News ADEL — Changes are coming to the Newton High boys’ soccer team.

Following a 2-0 loss Thursday against host Class 2A 11th-ranked Adel-DeSoto-Minburn, Cardinal head coach Zach Jensen was disappointed in the lack of purpose exhibited by his team.

“We’ve talked about it all season. We have a few players who come with the passion and aggressiveness we need to succeed. We have to have all 11 players on the field playing with purpose,” Jensen said.

ADM scored a goal seven minutes into the game, leading 1-0 at halftime.

The Tigers netted another goal at the 31:55 mark of the second half.

Davis Barton and Connor York scored the ADM goals. The Tigers (7-2) have won six games in a row.

“We really didn’t test their keeper tonight,” Jensen said. “There are changes to be made and we have several ideas on the drawing board now. The players know practice is not going to be easy on Monday.”

Newton had eight shots on goal against ADM. Cardinal goalkeeper Reagan Maple had three saves.

The Cardinals have a week to work on things before they are back in action.

Jensen said the bright

spot of the varsity game was the play of freshman William Cheng. He said they brought Cheng up to play in his first varsity game.

“He started the second half and played very well for us. We’ll be using him more on the varsity,” Jensen said.

The Newton junior varsity A team lost 3-0 to ADM and the junior varsity B-team lost 7-0.

The loss snapped a three-game win streak by the Cardinals, who are 7-4. They are on the road again on May 4 at Bondurant-Farrar.
