Preschoolers honored for artistic ability

The United Way of Jasper County recently allocated $226,000 to nonprofit agencies to help provide health and human service programs to area residents. The work has already begun to raise money for 2018 allocations with a new fundraiser.

The UWJC Treasure Hunt Fundraiser is set for 7 p.m. May 13 at Westwood Golf Course in Newton. The event, which is sponsored by Edward Jones offices in Newton, Newton Clinic and Willowbrook — A Wesley Life Adult Day Center, is for adults 21 and older.

“The United Way of Jasper County continues to look for new ways to raise awareness, raise funds and engage people in our cause,” said Jessica Lowe, UWJC executive director.

“The treasure hunt may pique the interest of someone who has never heard of United Way before and by them participating it means one more person is aware of what we are doing to help those in need in Jasper County.”

The treasure hunt will feature more than a hundred prizes. Certificates for the prizes will be placed into small gold-colored chests, and treasure hunters will be able to search a designated area at Westwood. Each participant will try to grab as many chests as they can until all are collected or the time runs out. The timed hunt will begin at 7:30 p.m.

“Think adult Easter egg hunt,” said Lowe of how the fundraiser will operate. “We have prizes from cash to a TV and everything in between. I aimed at getting prizes that would be things adults would like to win.”

Some of the top prizes include a Toro push lawn mower donated by an anonymous supporter, a two-burner gas grill donated by Theisen’s in Newton and a 32-inch TV donated by the United Way. Other prizes include gift cards and gift certificates, T-shirts, lottery scratch off tickets, cash, jewelry and tickets to events.

Nine local children were awarded Tuesday morning for demonstrating superb coloring skills during the second annual Jasper County Pinwheel Coloring Contest.

Parents As Teachers of Jasper County recently sponsored a Pinwheel Coloring Contest in coordination with Prevent Child Abuse Month in April.

Mayor Mike Hansen judged nearly 200 entries that were submitted by Jasper County children between the ages of two and five. Hansen, the children and their parents attended an event at the Newton Public Library to receive their award.

The winners in the 2 and 3-year-old section were Gabe Janssen, Zach Niceswanger and Mia Parsons. The winners in the 4-year-old section were Alex Breuer, Emily Cantu and Tinsley Terpstra. The winners in the 5-year-old section were Teagan Carkhuff, Courtney Heston and Landen Terlouw.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 3, 1952, the Kentucky Derby was televised nationally for the first time on CBS; the winner was Hill Gail, ridden

by Eddie Arcaro.

On this date: In 1802, Washington, D.C. was incorporated as a city.

In 1937, Margaret Mitchell won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel, “Gone with the Wind.”

In 1947, Japan’s postwar constitution took effect.

In 1979, Conservative Party leader Margaret Thatcher was chosen to become Britain’s first female prime minister as the Tories ousted the incumbent Labor government in parliamentary elections.

In 1986, in NASA’s first post-Challenger launch, an unmanned Delta rocket lost power in its main engine shortly after liftoff, forcing safety officers to destroy it by remote control.

In 1987, The Miami Herald said its reporters had observed a young woman spending “Friday night and most of Saturday” at a Washington townhouse belonging to Democratic presidential candidate Gary Hart. (The woman was later identified as Donna Rice; the resulting controversy torpedoed Hart’s presidential bid.)

In 1999, some 70 tornadoes roared across Oklahoma and Kansas, killing 46 people and injuring hundreds.

Ten years ago: British girl Madeleine McCann vanished during a family vacation in Portugal nine days before her fourth birthday; her disappearance remains unsolved. Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II arrived in Virginia for the commemoration of Jamestown’s 400th anniversary.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem of U.S. concerns about his country’s porous border with Iraq in the two nations’ first Cabinet-level talks in years. The Florida Legislature gave its final approval to moving the state’s 2008 primary from early March to Jan. 29. Ten Republican presidential candidates held their first debate of the 2008 race at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

Five years ago: U.S. officials published online a selection of letters from Osama bin Laden’s last hideaway; the documents portrayed a network that was weak, inept and under siege — and its leader seemingly near wit’s end about the passing of his global jihad’s supposed glory days.

One year ago: In a stunning triumph for a political outsider, Donald Trump all but clinched the Republican presidential nomination with a resounding victory in Indiana that knocked rival Ted Cruz out of the race. A funeral was held for six of the eight family members killed in rural southern Ohio as authorities continued chasing leads in the slayings.

That’s Odd Friend flushes baseball fan’s remains down ballpark toilets NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City man is on a mission to flush the cremated remains of his lifelong friend — a plumber — down ballpark toilets around the country.

Tom McDonald tells The New York Times that it’s a fitting tribute for Roy Riegel.

The two baseball fans were childhood friends in Queens, not far from — wait for it — Flushing Meadows, where the Mets play.

Like baseball, this endeavor has rules. The game has to be in progress when McDonald sprinkles the ashes into the toilet from a little plastic bottle.

Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about today: 1. AP: US FIRM IN IRAQ IGNORES SECURITY RISKS FOR F-16S Sallyport Global, paid nearly $700 million to secure an Iraqi base for F-16 fighter jets, turned a blind eye to alcohol smuggling, theft, security violations, and allegations of sex trafficking, an AP investigation finds.

2. WHAT IS EXPECTED TO PASS IN CONGRESS A $1.1 trillion spending bill that Trump at first seemed to criticize but now calls “a clear win for the American people” is headed for a House vote.

3. TRUMP TO PRESS ABBAS ON MIDEAST PEACE In a White House meeting, the Palestinian leader will be asked to end payments to families of Palestinians imprisoned in Israeli jails, U.S. officials say.

4. ANGER GROWS IN SOUTH KOREA OVER THAAD Next week’s presidential election in South Korea will likely end conservative rule that maintained a hard line against North Korea and backed the installation of the U.S. anti-missile system.

5. DOJ DECISION IN BATON ROUGE CASE NOT NECESSARILY THE END The government’s decision not to charge two white officers in Alton Sterling’s fatal shooting doesn’t preclude state authorities from conducting their own probe and pursuing criminal charges.

Entertainment A ‘robust’ Broadway season leads to Tony nods for 25 shows NEW YORK (AP) — A year after falling headover-heels for a musical about Alexander Hamilton, the Broadway community threw its arms wide open at the 2017 Tony Award nominations, handing out nods to 25 shows in a season notable for its breathtaking range.

“Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812,” an improbable pop-opera musical inspired by a Leo Tolstoy novel, got 12 nominations. A revival of the 53-year-old “Hello, Dolly!” about a brassy matchmaker earned 10. “Dear Evan Hansen,” a heartfelt show that begins with a misfit teen’s suicide got nine. Musicals about a pair of cosmetic legends, another set on 9/11 and another based on an old Bill Murray movie were all honored.

It’s a deep, great season with people really putting themselves out there — writers and directors and producers and actors. It’s

a fantastic year to be a part of,” said Laura Linney, who is starring in “Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes” and earned her fourth nomination. “It’s a robust expression of humanity.”

On the new play side, nominations were given to works about working class angst (“Sweat”), Middle East peace negotiations (“Oslo”), a behind-thescenes look at a controver-

sial 1923 Yiddish play (“Indecent”), and a bold sequel to a Henrik Ibsen play (“A Doll’s House, Part 2”).

There were also revivals of plays by giants Tennessee Williams (“The Glass Menagerie”) and Arthur Miller (“The Price”) and a much-cheered Broadway debut by a 65-year-old Pulitzer Prize winner (Paula Vogel).

“I’m just so glad I quit

my day job,” joked Vogel, 65, who has taught generations of playwrights at Brown and Yale. “To finally make it here is pretty nice and to be in this company is an honor.”

“Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812” will compete for the best new musical Tony with “Come From Away,” ‘’Dear Evan Hansen” and “Groundhog Day.” The best play revivals are “August Wilson’s Jitney,” ‘’Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes,” ‘’Present Laughter” and “Six Degrees of Separation.”

Andy Karl earned his third Tony nomination as the star of the musical “Groundhog Day,” based on the much-loved 1993 movie about a jaded weatherman forced to live the same day over. Karl earned Broadway respect for struggling through opening night with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

“We all get up and we go for it,” he said.

City fire hydrants to be painted Newton Daily News Again this summer the J.R. Stelzer Company, of Lincoln, Neb., will be painting fire hydrants in Newton.

This summer they will be working in the south west quadrant of the city. Last year, they painted hydrants on all of First Avenue and a three block radius around the square.

In the past, summer help was hired to paint the hydrants and the paint job lasted approximately one to two years. With this four step system, city officials hope to get 15 to 20 years longevity. The paint system involves sandblasting, zinc coating primer, painting and clear coating each hydrant.

The city has an investment of around $4,000 per hydrant and wants to protect this asset. The company has been contracted to paint 100 hydrants as part of the CIP. The cost per hydrant is $240.

The company started on Tuesday and will continue until they have painted the first 100 hydrants. Hydrant painting has also been approved for the FY17-18 WaterWorks CIP for $24,000.

Should their be any questions or problems you may contact the Newton WaterWorks at 641-792-2003.

Fake news, endless war I

Looking up at the stars Justin Jagler

don’t care about President Donald Trump’s tax returns, and I’m not preoccupied with how much time he spends on the golf course.

I don’t buy into the neo-McCarthyism and fear being sold by establishment politicians and servile media pundits.

Those stories are charades. They distract from substantive issues. They make for good clickbait and perhaps some clever memes, but they don’t help ordinary citizens understand the significance of national policy decisions.

As social media users help the propaganda machines proliferate “fake news,” the United States’ War of Terror roars on. In 2016 alone, under the leadership of President Barack Obama, the U.S. dropped more than 26,000 bombs, according to an analysis of Defense Department data from the Council on Foreign Relations.

For decades, but especially since the administration of President George W. Bush, U.S. foreign policy has followed a predictable pattern of dropping bombs on some of the world’s poorest nations.

U.S. bombs have killed many terrorists.

They have also killed many civilians and created breeding grounds for more terror.

In recent years, Syria and Iraq have

taken the brunt of the violence. However, Nobel Peace Prize-winner Obama also found time to bomb people in Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.

In the early months of Trump’s “America First” presidency, U.S. foreign policy remains set on intervention. Many cable news talking heads shower Trump with adoration, as he follows in the footsteps of Bush and Obama to extend the American legacy of brutality.

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria said that Trump “became president” following a U.S. airstrike in April that fired nearly 60 cruise missiles at a Syrian airfield. Referring to the same bombing, MSNBC’s Brian Williams said he was “guided by the beauty of our weapons” as images of cruise missiles soared across the TV screen.

When the mainstream media’s focus isn’t on trivial matters like Trump’s personal taxes, it’s on the glorification of death and destruction. The two predominant messages are (1) be angry about partisan hogwash and (2) be afraid of foreign enemies the U.S. is arming and/ or agitating.

I recently had the chance to talk with U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley. He mentioned “constitutional authority” a few times during a discussion on health care. I

asked Grassley, who deemed Trump’s April strike in Syria “appropriate” — how do you decide when to follow the Constitution and when to ignore it?

The U.S. Constitution clearly grants Congress with the power to declare war — not the president. Yet, presidents have been engaging in warfare without congressional approval for years. Grassley, and most of his peers in the legislature, both Democrat and Republican, sit back and watch (if not applaud) as the executive branch conducts endless war.

Grassley said the 1973 War Powers Act grants short-term authority for the president to conduct war without congressional approval if action needs to be taken to protect the “national security interests of the United States.”

A chemical weapon attack in Syria, which killed dozens of civilians in April, was used as justification for the U.S. to drop bombs on the war-torn country.

The U.S. asserts the Syrian government, under the guidance of President Bashar al-Assad, is responsible for the terrible chemical attack that killed Syrian men, women and children.

What happened to those civilians in Syria was an atrocity. It was also no threat to the national security interests of the United States.

The flawed line of thinking that drives American foreign policy goes something like this: Syrians killed Syrians, so the United States should kill Syrians to stop Syrians from killing Syrians. It’s endless war.

The 1973 War Powers Act can be used to argue in favor of one isolated incident of warfare in the “short term” like Grassley said. It cannot be used to justify decades of endless war. It cannot be used to justify dropping more than 26,000 bombs on the world in 2016.

Grassley’s next justification for America’s perpetual warfare was related to action taken by Congress in the early 2000s, following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when the U.S. went into Afghanistan and eventually Iraq. The Iowa senator told me, “All of this activity that’s been going on since then is related to that ... that’s the authority for doing it.”

Using that logic, the U.S. (often just the executive branch) will continue to start wars wherever and whenever it wants. Congress doesn’t have time to debate whether the country should go to war, according to Grassley.

“If you felt that you wanted to save kids from chemical warfare and Congress had to debate — we’d still be debating it in Congress, and Assad would still be murdering these babies,” Grassley said.

Grassley never explained how dropping about $60 million-worth of (taxpayer-funded) missiles on an airbase would “save kids.” My exchange with the senator was brief, and I kindly thanked him for his time when it was over.

What’s important? Trump’s golf game?

His taxes?

Peace and liberty are important to me.

For the past few months, whenever someone on the left says something particularly insane, conservatives immediately snark back, “This is why Trump won.” To a certain extent, they’re right: The palpable anger on the radicalized left that helped govern America into political polarization drove the Trump movement. Trump sits in the White House as a result.

But there’s a more important question that must be asked as we approach day 100 of the Trump administration: Has Trump actually changed anything in America?

The 100-day mark means little in reality. As Trump points out, it’s an arbitrary deadline; there have been presidents who did little in their first 100 days and ended up with a solid legacy (Bill Clinton) and those who did an enormous amount and ended up imploding (Lyndon B. Johnson). But here’s what the first 100 days actually do: They set the table.

President Ronald Reagan set the table for his administration by pushing for lower taxes over the protestations of the Democrats and militantly standing against Soviet aggression. President Clinton’s failures in his first 100 days set the stage for his move to the center — by his second term, he declared that the “era of big government is over.”

President Barack Obama came into office promising change. That change did not come chiefly in the realm of policy — his only lasting policy change appears to be Obamacare, which is currently bankrupting itself across the country — but in the political heart of the country. Before 2009, Americans yearned for unity. It’s why Obama was elected. We were tired of the polarization of the Bush years; we were sick of the feeling that half the country wanted the other half gone. Obama pledged to change that.

That pledge came on the back of big-government promises. America could be united, Obama seemed to suggest, if only we believed in him personally. That’s what Obama achieved in his first 100 days: He changed the nature of the political debate by suggesting that big government could earn your trust, that he would demonstrate the dedication necessary to turn government into an avatar of this newfound “unity.”

Then he utilized government power to push for hardcore leftism, which polarized the country.

Obama’s 100-day vision failed. But Trump has yet to replace it with anything new. Trump’s “Make America Great Again” sloganeering hasn’t promised a new unity of purpose. It has actually exacerbated a reverse polarization. His policies aren’t discussed in terms of helping all Americans; they embody a political sectarianism pioneered by Obama and hijacked

by Trump. Trump’s first 100 days haven’t moved the American story in any marked way at all, actually — we’re precisely where we were 101 days ago. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t had policy victories (most obvious is the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch). But it does mean that there is no vision upon which he calls Americans to the table.

There are just things he wants and things he doesn’t, and Americans he likes and Americans he doesn’t.

It’s so bad we began taking grocery bags with us on our walks, and we pick up two to six bags of trash each day. We’re barely putting a dent in it.

It really makes Newton look

trashy after all the work the city has done getting rid of the dilapidated buildings.

The city needs to address this eyesore before it gets any worse than it is.

Records Bat survey looking for volunteers

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources and Iowa State University are looking for volunteers interested in performing night time surveys for bats in Hardin, Marshall, Jackson and Dubuque counties.

The survey monitors bat occurrence in key areas of the state. It began in response to declining bat population from White Nose Syndrome, among other challenges.

This survey uses acoustic recording equipment mounted on top of a car to detect bats along specific routes.

Data has been collected on these standardized survey routes for the last four years.

Volunteers will need a vehicle and a partner to run the survey and be available for at least two nights; one in June and one in July. The survey begins 30 minutes after sunset and takes roughly 2.5 hours.

The total time commitment, including the two surveys and picking up and dropping off equipment, is roughly 10 hours. More details can be found at iowadnr. gov/vwmp/ as well as a volunteer interest form that should be downloaded, completed, and returned via email.

Mom’s past relationship is subject of sons’ curiosity

DEAR ABBY: When I was a young, newly divorced, single mother, I returned to college. There I met a woman in similar circumstances. We became fast friends, decided to pool our resources while we pursued higher education and moved in together. Over time, the friendship became more than platonic.

This was my first experience with same-sex relationships, and I loved her deeply. We had six years together, but ultimately it didn’t work out and we moved on. I have been in a committed marriage all these years since.

Recently, her now-grown sons called me to “catch up.” During the course of the conversation, they asked me if their mother and I had had an intimate relationship. I didn’t know what to say. My ex became very religious after our split and has never openly acknowledged (that I know of) the nature of our relationship.

It’s certainly not my story to tell, but I didn’t know how to respond to her sons without telling a blatant lie or giving an answer that would verify their suspicions. So I faked losing the phone connection to keep from answering.

What should I do the next time they call? — ANCIENT HISTORY IN ARIZONA DEAR ANCIENT HISTORY: Do not “out” her to her sons. The next time they call, if that question is asked again, handle it with a laugh and say they should take their questions about their mother’s sex life directly to her.

Period!

DEAR ABBY: I recently had a baby and gained 25 pounds. My husband and I decided to go on a post-baby diet, which includes cutting out carbs and sugar. Over the past month, he has lost about 15 pounds; I lost eight.

The problem is, he is constantly talking about our diet. He dictates everything we eat, although he refuses to cook. He also wants to know my exact weight to see how I’m doing. Abby, I’m too embarrassed to tell him my weight as I’m a few pounds heavier than he is.

Why doesn’t he understand that

weighing me is very embarrassing? He constantly tells me he loves me and wants to help me live a healthy lifestyle. I should also mention that I have suffered from emotional eating my entire life. — NOT WANTING TO WEIGH IN DEAR NOT WANTING TO WEIGH IN: The person determining your post-baby diet should not be your husband; it should be your doctor or a licensed nutritionist. Your husband may be well-meaning, but what he is doing is counterproductive. When emotional eaters are stressed, they eat!

Please schedule an appointment with your physician and your spouse to talk about what’s going on because it is not healthy for you or your marriage.

DEAR ABBY: I raised all five of my children without much help from their deadbeat dad, who was never around. They are grown now. I am still single and barely making a living.

All of my kids live around the Dallas area. I don’t. Where I live is working for me because I have jobs, but I want to be near them. Should I throw away what I have to go and be near them, or stay where I am financially stable? I love my children so much. — LONESOME MOM DEAR LONESOME MOM: Unless you are sure you can find work in the Dallas area, you should not relocate. It would make more sense for you to discuss this with your children and encourage them to visit you more often, if it’s feasible.

4 Dallas County, Ankeny voters

Man returned to Iowa to face murder charge JOHNSTON — A man accused of fatally shooting his girlfriend in a Des Moines suburb has returned to Iowa to face charges in the case.

Police say 38-year-old Abraham Roberts waived his right to an extradition hearing and was returned to Iowa on Tuesday.

Roberts was arrested last month at the Canadian border. Johnston police say he killed 34-year-old Agnes Yarlee, who was found mortally wounded April 15 at an apartment complex.

Man pleads not guilty in teen’s slaying BURLINGTON — One of two men accused of killing a Burlington teenager has pleaded not guilty and has waived his right to a speedy trial. Jorge Sanders-Galvez, 22, waived that right at a hearing Monday at which one of his attorneys was allowed to withdraw because of a conflict of interest.

Sanders-Galvez’s trial was tentatively scheduled to begin June 27, but Judge Mary Ann Brown says a new date will be set later.

approve project bonds

ADEL — Voters in Ankeny and in Dallas County have approved bonds for major construction projects. More than 77 percent of Dallas County voters said yes Tuesday to building a $22.9 million jail. Voters rejected plans to build a replacement jail three times since 2013 as county officials struggle with jail overcrowding. The new facility will have 130 beds and room for expansion and be built on the east side of Adel. There also will be space for jail administration and sheriff ’s office staff.

Rusty water would be particularly acute in areas near the new water plant on East 13th Street.

Flushing and disinfection are among the steps needed to ensure the plant will meet drinking water standards when it comes online later this year.

burning covered bridge

WINTERSET — A third person has been arrested in the burning of a covered Iowa bridge featured in the novel “The Bridges of Madison County.” Madison County Sheriff Jason Barnes said Tuesday that 19-year-old Alivia Bergmann, of Des Moines, was taken into custody in South Carolina on an Iowa arson charge and will be returned. One of the two other defendants, 18-year-old Joel Davis, pleaded not guilty Monday.

Branstad pledges to confront Beijing on tough issues WASHINGTON (AP) — The Midwestern governor President Donald Trump picked to be his ambassador to China pledged on Tuesday to confront Beijing on a range of contentious issues, including human rights and trade, and assured lawmakers he’ll push the Chinese to act more aggressively to defuse North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

During his confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad said he hopes to leverage his decades-long relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping to advance U.S. and international interests.

“As an old friend, I’d tell him where he’s falling short,” Branstad said, telling senators he won’t be bashful about raising uncomfortable topics. The two met in 1985 when Xi, at the time a provincial official, led an agricultural trade delegation to Iowa.

Asked by Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., if he considers China to be an enemy or an ally, Branstad paused and said it was a tough question. The relationship between the two economic powers fluctuates between those two extremes, Branstad said, and the U.S. should strive to be partners with Beijing instead of adversaries. But China also has an obligation to play by the rules, he said.

Branstad said he won’t hesitate to meet with Chinese dissidents and activists and would even welcome them to the U.S. embassy in Beijing. He also said he intends to travel to every province in China just as he’s traveled to every county in Iowa.

Branstad called North Korea’s push for a weapon of mass destruction a “threat to all of humankind.” Although senators pressed Branstad for specifics on how he would address North Korea with Xi and other Chinese leaders, he stuck to broad themes.

He said recent events, which include missile tests by Pyongyang, should prompt China to take the

threat more seriously. He also said he expects China to become more engaged because of concerns that North Korean refugees may flood China if the crisis on the Korean Peninsula escalates further.

“They are the ones who have the potential to influence the regime in North Korea more than anyone else,” Branstad said of China. “It is probably the most pressing issue we have right now.” He said he envisioned his role as a “go between” to find a resolution.

Trump has sought better relations with China as the threat from North Korea has escalated. Trump recently hosted Xi at Trump’s Florida resort. But for years prior, Trump said that China was “eating our lunch,” and he promised during the presidential campaign to label China a currency manipulator as one of his first acts. He even threatened to start a trade war, arguing that China’s trade surplus was the major reason for America’s economic woes.

But Trump has since abandoned that pledge, his thinking changed by the growing focus on the threat from North Korea and fears Pyongyang will succeed in

developing a nuclear-tipped missile capable of hitting the United States. Trump wants help from China, which is North Korea’s primary trading partner.

Branstad said China had manipulated its currency to lower the cost of its exported products and to raise the price of U.S. imports. “I think that has changed in the last year or so,” Branstad told the committee. But he said that’s an issue that remains a concern and needs to be monitored closely.

Trump also backed away from a threat to jettison America’s “One China” policy that sees Taiwan as part of China. Trump angered China by speaking to Taiwan’s president before his inauguration in a breach of diplomatic protocol. China still regards the island as part of its territory and would consider it unacceptable for the U.S. to recognize Taiwan’s leader as a head of state.

Branstad, 70, is in the midst of his sixth nonconsecutive term as governor. He served from 1983 to 1999 before entering the private sector. He was re-elected in 2010. With more than 22 years at the helm of Iowa government, Branstad is the country’s longest serving governor.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska prosecutors levied a barrage of charges Tuesday against an inmate accused of killing a sheriff ’s deputy while escaping from an Iowa jail, but investigators said the real hope is to have him quickly sent back to Iowa to face more serious charges.

Wesley Correa-Carmenaty, 24, also is accused of injuring another deputy and fleeing the state in a stolen jail van after his Monday escape. He is set to appear in a jailhouse court on Wednesday in Omaha to face charges of kidnapping and other charges in Nebraska, according to Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine.

But Kleine, the Omaha area’s top prosecutor, said he was willing to drop the Nebraska charges if Correa-Carmenaty agrees to be extradited to Iowa to face charges — including first-degree murder and attempted murder — in the shooting death of Pottawattamie County Sheriff ’s Deputy Mark Burbridge.

“I spoke to the county attorney in Iowa yesterday and told him we would defer to them, obviously,” Kleine said Tuesday.

“The mood across the river was pretty somber,” Kleine added, referring to the section of the Missouri River that serves as the Iowa-Nebraska border in the area. “Our heart goes out to everyone in Pottawattamie County.”

Two deputies were transporting Cor-

rea-Carmenaty back to the Pottawattamie County Jail in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Monday after he was sentenced to 45 years in prison for voluntary manslaughter and attempted murder in a separate case. But as the deputies tried to move Correa-Carmenaty into the jail, he assaulted both of them and grabbed one of their guns.

Both deputies were shot, according to investigators. The 43-yearold Burbridge, a 12-year veteran of the sheriff ’s office, died shortly after being shot. The other deputy, 10-year veteran Pat Morgan, is expected to survive.

Correa-Carmenaty commandeered the transport van after the shootings, driving through a closed garage door at the jail around 11 a.m. Monday. He abandoned the van in Council Bluffs and tried to carjack a pickup truck. Investigators said he shot one of the truck’s passengers, who is expected to recover.

Correa-Carmenaty then carjacked a 31-year-old woman at gunpoint and drove over the Missouri River into Omaha, Nebraska, where he dropped the woman off unharmed at a liquor store, authorities said. He was recaptured in Omaha after crashing during a high-speed chase with police.

Kleine said Tuesday that if Correa-Carmenaty waives extradition on Wednesday, he will be taken back to Iowa within days.

In Brief Sunday Morning Group explores stories of Old Testament This past couple of months the Sunday adult/ young adult study group has been making their way through the Old Testament during the 9 a.m. hour through a series entitled Dust to Glory.

Topics of discussion for May include: • Moses and the Exodus (Finish Exodus 5-10) • The Passover (Exodus 11-12) • The Giving of the Law (Exodus 13-24) • The Tabernacle (Exodus 25-40) The DVD series brings to life the major themes, events and people of the Old Testament, the very things that help Christians to better know their Bible. The series began exploring the stories of Creation, Noah and Abraham and continues with Jacob, Joseph and Moses, as it winds its way through the many books of the Old Testament.

The presenter is worldknown theologian Dr. R.C. Sproul, co-pastor of Saint Andrew’s Chapel in Sanford, Fla., and chan-

cellor of Reformation Bible College. He is the author of more than one hundred books.

“Dust to Glory,” along with a DVD segment of the Bible story provides a panorama of Biblical truth and a starting point to either help understand the Bible better or provide an excellent review of Old Testament stories.

Hopefully, it will provide new insights, improve the ability to read, as well, and help participants understand and apply Scripture to their lives. The hope is that the series will encourage, stimulate, and help Christians learn better the stories that form the building blocks of their faith, and in doing so, better share their faith with others. If you are interested in learning more about the promises God made to God’s people in the Old Testament, this is an opportunity to become part of the learning. Even though the series has started, it’s not too late to join the group.

Free movie night at Kellogg UMC Kellogg United Methodist Church will be hosting a free movie night at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Free popcorn and beverage will be provided. The feature presentation will be the movie “We Bought a Zoo.” The film, starring Matt Da-

mon, is based on a true story about a man who takes his family on an adventure to buy and reopen a dilapidated zoo.

Kellogg United Methodist Church is located at 417 Second St., next to the water tower in Kellogg.

Gholson is LHC long jump champion

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News GRINNELL — On one of the few sun-filled days of competition this spring, Newton High senior Connor Gholson went golden. Gholson won the 2017 Little Hawkeye Conference long jump championship in Tuesday’s conference track meet at Grinnell.

Gholson used Gholson a season’s-best leap of 21 feet, 9 1/2 inches to win the title. Dallas Center-Grimes’ Trey Washington was an inch behind, 21-8 1/2, for second place.

“It was really fun to see Connor finally rip one off and win the conference championship,” Newton head coach Tanner Clute said. “He’s been so close all season and final hit a season’s best.”

Gholson helped two Cardinal relays hit season’s best. He was on three relays, each taking third place.

Newton’s 800-meter sprint medley relay team of freshman Jeremiah Johnson, junior Matthew Karsten, Gholson and junior Jack Callaghan set a new school record in the new event for boys.

They posted a 1:38.20, taking down the previous NHS best time of 1:38.88, and placed third.

“The sprint medley relay team ran very well with Jack running a season’s-best 52.8 anchor leg,” Clute said.

Tigerhawk girls claim SICL crown

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MARENGO — With his athletes just a few days removed from prom, Colfax-Mingo girls’ track and field coach Zach Tomas thought about giving his team a lighter load for the South Iowa Cedar League meet Tuesday.

But after Tomas browsed through the numbers on quikstatsiowa.com, it was evident to him that his Tigerhawks had a shot to win their first SICL championship.

By the time the night ended, Tomas was happy he decided to go for it.

The Tigerhawks rode their first conference championship under Tomas behind a dominant night in field events and distance events.

“I am just really proud of the girls,” Tomas said. “We had talked earlier this week about how good we could be if we were able to put together a complete team effort. It wasn’t 100 percent our best, but it was pretty darn close.”

Colfax-Mingo won the meet with 100 points.

The Tigerhawks were nine points clear of runner-up Montezuma (91), 12 points ahead of Sigourney (88) and 15 points in front of Lynnville-Sully (85).

The rest of the field included Belle Plaine (75), BGM (74.5), Iowa Valley (68), HLV (61), North Mahaska (54), English Valleys (33.5) and Tri-County (9).

The Tigerhawks’ best conference finish under Tomas prior to Tuesday was last year’s third-place SICL finish.

On the boys’ side, junior Colten Lourens won his first conference discus title, leading the Tigerhawks to a seventh-place team finish.

The girls needed big nights from their throwers and distance runners to win the team

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo sophomore Braedynn Rawlins won the shot put at the South Iowa Cedar League track and field meet Tuesday in Marengo.

Senior Dakota Hostetter started the night off with a win in the 3,000-meter run. She finished in 11 minutes, 34.6 seconds.

Her younger sister, sophomore Ilia Hostetter, was third in the event with a time of 13:00.83.

The Tigerhawks then got a 1-2 finish in the shot put.

Sophomore Braedynn Rawlins won the event with a throw of 32 feet, 11 1/4 inches.

Junior Rhiannon Haley was second with a throw of 32-10 1/2.

Haley also claimed a runner-up finish in the discus. She

earned the silver medal after a toss of 93-0. Her older sister, senior Alivia Haley, finished fourth with a toss of 89-9.

The Tigerhawks got one more field event medal before doing the rest of their damage on the oval. Junior Ries Wilson grabbed the bronze medal in the high jump with a leap of 4-8.

“We scored at or above where we thought we would finish in almost every event,” Tomas said.

Having a significant lead after the field events, Dakota Hostetter and freshman Abbey McConeghey made sure the lead would hold up.

The duo went 1-2 in the 1,500. McConeghey grabbed another win with a time of 5:18.14, and Dakota Hostetter was second in 5:19.89.

In the 800, Dakota Hostetter finished second in 2:35.97, and McConeghey was third in 2:38.88.

The final top-three finish for Dakota Hostetter came in the 400. The senior finished third with a time of 1:04.92.

“We expected the distance events and throws to lead us, but we needed the other girls to step up to be able to win this thing,” Tomas said. “We needed every single point tonight.”

On the boys’ side, Colfax-Mingo scored 56 points in seventh.

Lynnville-Sully won the meet with a 132 points. They were 18.5 points clear of Belle Plaine (113.5) and 20 points ahead of Montezuma (112).

Lourens’ winning throw in the discus covered 120-3.

Junior Reegan Van Dyke was part of two runner-up finishes and a fourth-place tally in a relay.

Van Dyke was second in the high jump with a leap of 6-0 and claimed the runner-up spot in the long jump with a leap of 18-4 1/2.

That team included sophomores Ethan Summy and Zarek Hill, Van Dyke and senior Adam Teed. They finished in 3:44.95.

Sports HOIC Girls Continued from Page 1B edging Tolentino by .03 seconds.

In the long jump, Hinegardner was second and senior Megan Ritter finished third. They came into the meet with the fourth and sixth best jumps in the conference. Hinegardner’s best jump Tuesday was 15 feet, 7 inches. Ritter was marked at 15-5.

“I think I had more adrenaline than in most meets because I haven’t competed in a while,” Hinegardner said.

“You never know what’s going to happen in long jump.

It only takes one jump to bump you out of your position.”

While the Raiders were not on top of a lot of events, they maintained a top-three finish in the standings by piling up third-, fourth- and fifth-place finishes.

“We are very pleased with these results,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “Gilbert is a great 3A school, and we knew they were going to be hard to beat. We thought it was going to be a three-team race for second. Our girls showed a lot of guts tonight and really competed hard. I am very happy with what we did, and the effort of all of our girls.”

Vos won her third 400 hurdles title. She won it in back-to-back years after finishing with a time of 1 minute, 9.24 seconds. Vos heads down the key stretch of the season with the third best time in 2A. “Conference is kind of a big deal but this is the time of year when you have to think about the end of the season,” said Vos, who won the 400 hurdles as a freshman, junior and senior. “This meet helps me start to get mentally prepared for that last race.

“I have had that dream since my freshman year.

Olympic athletes step onto the track and they expect to win. So when I get on the track at state, I will expect to win that race. That’s where I am at mentally right now.”

Vos anchored the shuttle hurdle and 4x400 relays to wins.

The shuttle hurdle relay turned in a season-best time of 1:08.98. That foursome included sophomore Megan Cowman, freshman Lexi Kuecker, sophomore Morgan Uhlenhopp and Vos. “That event just kind of came out of nowhere,” Vos said. “I am not a 100 hurdler, as you can probably tell, but we just put something together and it just started to click.”

The 4x400 relay included senior Rachel Stafford, sophomore Paytan Schut, freshman Sierra Foster and Vos, and that foursome finished in a season-best time of 4:11.63.

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | May 3, 2017 | 3B

Vos ran the fifth 800 of her life when she anchored the distance medley for the second straight meet. That strategy is to both improve her stamina for the 400 hurdles and see if she can be one of the four legs to run in the 4x800 relay at the state qualifier next week.

“My times in practice have been fast so we are trying to figure some things out for some other events,” Vos said.

“We really want the 4x800 to get to state so that might be an option.”

Ritter was one of six third-place finishes for the Raiders.

The shuttle hurdle relay team of sophomore Gracie Cheville, juniors Mary Schabilion and Brianda Bane and Hinegardner finished in 1:12.01. The rest of the bronze-medal performances came in individual events.

Sophomore Kaylin Van Ryswyk came into the night ranked outside of the top five but finished third in the shot put with a toss of 33-5.

Sophomore Lauren Ratliff was third in the 1,500 with a time of 5:18.41, sophomore Brenna Thomson placed third in the 3,000 with a time of 11:41.42 and Bane finished third in the 400 hurdles with a time of 1:12.85.

“Our distance girls doubled up in the 3,000 and 800,” Meinerts said. “Lauren Ratliff set a new CMB school record in the 800 and finished fourth. That was a fun race to watch with a lot of good competitors.”

The Mustangs were topthree in five other events.

Junior Ashley Miller placed second in the 100 with a time of 13.41. The 4x800 relay also was second.

That team included Schut, freshman Sayde White, sophomore Sloan Hjortshoj and Stafford, and they finished in a season-best time of 10:13.20.

Stafford was third in the 800 with a season-best time of 2:26.53. Sophomore Maddie Samson finished third in the discus with a toss of 105-7 1/2.

The final third-place finish came in the distance medley. That foursome of Miller, Uhlenhopp, freshman Kate McCarthy and Vos finished in 4:29.84.

“The girls went out and competed in a very tough track and field conference,” PCM coach Bridget Martin said. “Our goal was to take care of the little things tonight, and for the most part, we got that done.

“As we prepare for the final meets of the season, our goal is to continue to see improvements and finish this season strong.”

Both CMB and PCM compete at the Cardinal Relays co-ed meet at 4:30 p.m.

Throwing events lead PCM, CMB boys at HOIC meet

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

BAXTER — Prairie City-Monroe senior Noah Clark was happy after winning his first Heart of Iowa Conference discus title Tuesday.

But Clark knows if he wants to put himself into the conversation for a state medal, he has to figure out to push the distance a few feet further.

Clark claimed one of the Mustangs’ three wins during the HOIC boys’ track and field meet. But there’s still plenty of work to do.

“It definitely feels great to win,” said Clark, who finished second in the discus last season. “I need to work much more on my lower body and getting my hips involved. I need to practice as much as I can.

“I am probably going to start throwing every day. I will do everything I can do to jump up the ranks. I have to find a way to get back up into the 150s.”

The Mustangs were fourth overall in the nine-team field, scoring 81 points. Collins-Maxwell/Baxter got a 1-2 finish in the shot put, and that guided the Raiders to a seventh-place finish with 67 points.

Class 3A Gilbert cruised to the team title with 177 points.

Nevada was a distant second with 96 points, and Roland-Story (87) rounded out the top three. South Hamilton (79), North Polk (77), CMB (67), Greene County (43) and Saydel (32) rounded out the field.

PCM junior Noah Anderson was part of two wins. He won the 200-meter dash and ran one of the two 200 legs on the Mustangs’ winning distance medley relay team.

Sophomore Cole Dustin also was second in the 110 high hurdles. Senior Chris Ellens placed third in the 3,200, and the 4x200 relay team placed third.

CMB sophomore Will Clapper won his second straight conference shot put title. The Raiders went 1-2 in the event, and Clapper also was third in the discus. “(Kemp) throws before me and he always sets the bar for what I have to do to win,” Clapper said.

“I have been working on my form the past few days, and I had some really good throws in warmups so that boosted my confidence a little bit.”

Clark came into the day as

the top seed in the discus. He had the chance to watch every other athlete before stepping into the ring. He overtook the lead on his second throw and won the event with a toss of 142 feet, 3 inches.

“It gave me more time to prepare. I really like to get into the mindset so I am ready to go,” Clark said on being the final thrower to mark.

Anderson won the 200 with a time of 22.99 seconds. He joined sophomore Preston Van Wyk, junior Noah Henkenius and Ellens in winning the distance medley in 3 minutes, 48.53 seconds.

Dustin finished second in the 110 high hurdles with a time of 16.06.

Ellens’ third-place time in the two mile was clocked at 10:12.39.

The Mustangs’ 4x200 relay team was third.

That foursome included sophomore Payton Strovers, Henkenius, Van Wyk and Anderson. They finished in 1:35.27.

Clapper’s winning throw of 50-10 came on his second toss.

Kemp had a brief lead and set the gold-medal bar with his throw of 49-1 1/2.

“I was real happy with that winning throw,” Clapper said.

“I got a lot of power behind that one. That one felt good.

There is still a bunch of stuff to work on.”

Clapper was third in the discus, too. His bronze-medal throw covered 133-10.

Sophomore Ben Huff was fourth in the long jump, junior Carter Fricke placed fourth in the 400 and the shuttle hurdle relay team placed fourth.

The shuttle hurdle relay team included juniors Joe Keeling and Marcus Mitchell, freshman Brett Livesay and senior Ben Gunderson. They finished in 1:05.74.

PCM and CMB both compete in the Cardinal Relays at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in Newton.

Baez, Schwarber power Cubs past Phillies

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Jayci Vos was part of three wins for the Prairie City-Monroe girls’ track and field team at the Heart of Iowa Conference meet in Baxter on Tuesday.

CHICAGO (AP) — Kris Bryant saw the adjustments Javier Baez was working on before the game with his swing.

Then, he saw the results.

Baez came within a double of the cycle with four hits and three RBIs, Kyle Schwarber broke out of a slump with a three-run homer and the Chicago Cubs defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 8-3 on Tuesday night.

Baez hit his second ho-

mer in as many days and tied his career high with hits, and Bryant homered and tripled for the Cubs, who won for the second time in six games.

Baez has been trying to improve his swing after a slow offensive April.

“And I saw it in the game.

I was pretty impressed. He went from the cage right to the game. I don’t know — it’s just what I saw. I thought he looked awesome today. He

was right on everything.”

Cubs starter Jon Lester (11) pitched long enough to earn his first victory of the season.

He struck out five and worked around five walks and four hits. He allowed three runs, two earned, in five innings.

Lester improved to 11-2 at Wrigley Field since the start of the 2016 season.

He also improved to 7-0 against the Phillies in nine starts.

Everybody’s talking about what’s in the classifieds.

Astrograph

The Mercury retrograde ends, though it might take a while for communication and commerce to return to stasis.

Mercury will still be in his storm for another 10 days -- a fancy way of saying the planet will be in an unusually sluggish mood and will take some time to ramp up to his customary zippiness. Can you relate? Then you know whom to blame!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 3). Since a person’s knowledge only goes as far as his or her experiences, and because your sincere desire is for a wealth of knowledge, you’ll open yourself to discovery, dive into mysteries and let curiosity car-

ry you to different parts of the world. The funds come in June and November. August begins a serious bond. Libra and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 4, 47 and 13.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You feel like you’re in your own little world, but know that others are very aware of you now. “If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.” -- Kahlil Gibran TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

There’s so much you have access to, and you’re a curious person, ready to learn all you can and experience the rich-

ness of life. Self-regulation is, therefore, among your biggest challenges.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’re more concerned with achievement than reward.

In fact, the reward, as far as you’re concerned, is the achievement. The accolades can be nice, but they can also be embarrassing and cause more pressure than they are worth.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

New research suggests that you might do yourself some good by talking to yourself, especially if you’re saying encouraging or compassionate things, and most especially if you’re saying them out loud.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Take on the small, easily won chal-

lenges. Building up a track record of success will give you the confidence you need to go for the more remarkable and difficult opportunities coming your way in the near future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Belonging isn’t about fitting together perfectly, having a lot in common or agreeing on most things. Belonging is about acceptance. Be inclusive.

Set a tone of friendliness and compassion. Foster a sense of unconditional belonging.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The nearness of interesting and well-traveled people or the pull of exotic lands will activate your adventurous spirit. If you make discovery a priority you’ll definitely find the necessary resources.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Everyone will bring something to the table, though not necessarily a tangible thing. Some will bring an idea, a talent for receptivity, a custom, a grateful heart and much expressed pleasure in the opportunity at hand.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). For you, adrenaline isn’t a hormone that kicks in on an emergency-only basis; rather, it’s a daily boost. Your highenergy style will be well suited for the challenges of the day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re happy when the people you love are happy.

There is one person in particular whose happiness means the most to you, and you’re likely to spend a lot of time, money and energy on making this person smile.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Sometimes it is more gracious to have a little of what’s being offered to you than to abstain.

The gestures and rituals around togetherness will have greater meaning today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

As artistic and imaginative as you are, you still admire those who lack pretension, are too laid back to strive and too chill to social-climb. Your values are right in line with all that it takes to create meaningful, lasting friendships.
