City employees to take on more benefits obligations Due to increasing insurance premiums, the city is taking steps to reduce costs by moving to a partially self-funded plan. City council approved the resolution which will impact 72 out of the 125 current city employees enrolled in the city’s PPO plan.

The city’s insurance through WellMuckler mark Blue Cross Blue Shield renewal schedule runs from July 1 to June 30 each year.

Historically, its premiums have seen an increase of approximately 3 percent to 6 percent each year.

However, due to a high claims experience during the last year, the renewal rate came in at 18 percent increase for the next year.

“In looking for ways to reduce cost and improve claim experience through Wellmark, the city has been working with our broker, Holmes Murphy on the possibility of moving to a partially self-funded plan,” city administrator Matt Muckler said. “The benefits to the employees would stay the same but the city would purchase a higher deductible plan and cover the difference in deductible for employees that reach their contracted benefit limits.”

With the new plans, a 3.5 percent reduction in premiums would take place for the city and city employees. Through research, it is estimated, based on last year’s numbers, only 25 of the 300 plus members covered would meet the initial contracted deductible.

“It will allow greater flexibility with rates/premiums and assist in reducing our claim experience,” Muckler said. “Any additional savings due to a reduction in claims would be used to buy down future year premiums.”

HIGH

teams took on the selection process. Superintendent Bob Callaghan said the committee members deserve a vast amount of credit for their integrity to the process and for their insight into seeking a leader who will serve the district and the students well.

NCSD looked over two dozen applications and narrowed them down to a final four candidates to bring in for an interview. After a full and intense day, Callaghan said, a candidate with vast elementary experience emerged.

“Her leadership experiences included participating in many building and district-level committees,” Callaghan said.

“Through those roles, central administrative skills that are invaluable as a building leader developed.”

To support the progress at the DMACC Maytag campus and its efforts to bring retail opportunities to the former headquarters, city council approved the addition of parking on West Fourth Street North.

Kim Didier, executive director of DMACC Business Resources and projDidier ect manager of the Maytag Campus spoke to the council about the parking request along with two additional reimbursement requests from a 28E agreement the organization entered into with the city in March.

“As we have worked with the city and the planning staff and looked at options for the campus, you will know that Iowa Telecom had invested and created some retail space on the first floor of building 18,” Didier said. “There had always been some designs done of diagonal parking into that area to allow easier entrance into the store fronts.”

Approximately 22 diagonal parking stalls will be installed on the west side of the 300 block of West Fourth Street North. The stalls will be located partially in the street right-of-way and partially on DMACC owned property.

The city has assessed the area and found the street width of 39.5 feet is adequate for on-street parking in the area, especially considering part of the stalls will be on DMACC property and off of the roadway.

“We are currently in conversation with a couple of different businesses and we are hoping by the end of May to have three separate lease agreements for about 5,000 to 6,000 square feet,” Didier said. “We see some real momentum building there and would like to make sure they have access to their store fronts as soon as possible.”

School board approves new TJ principal

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News The search is over — Thomas Jefferson Elementary has a new principal for next school year, and her name is Trisca Mick.

Mick will be taking on a new role, but she is not new to Newton Community School District. She started her teaching career at Thomas Jefferson in 1996 before moving away for several years.

The newly-appointed principal returned to Newton two years ago to serve as a school administrative manager, working in coordination with the Thomas Jefferson principal to manage the building. This year, Mick has been serving as an instructional coach for 5th and 6th grade teams at Berg Middle School.

She is finishing her 10th year with the district and is looking forward to

year 11.

Mick said she feels blessed and elated. “ I t has just been one of those moments Callaghan w h e r e you kind of come full circle,” she said. “I started my career here as a teacher, and I came back.”

Mick will now have the opportunity to work with families and the community in a different capacity. She said the teachers and staff at Thomas Jefferson are kind of like family. She’s looking forward to interacting with the students, too.

“I am very excited to go back to TJ and see the children I made relationships with last year,” she said.

Locals work to bring ‘The Wall That Heals’ back to Jasper County Fundraiser set for Thursday

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News American Legion Post 111 in Newton will host a fundraising dinner and auction on Thursday in an effort to bring “The Wall That Heals” back to Jasper County.

The wall is a halfscale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. For more than 20 years, it has been traveling throughout the United

States and helping Vietnam veterans in their healing process.

Thursday’s event will start with dinner at 5:30 p.m. and the auction will begin at 7 p.m. There is a freewill offering for the dinner, and the auction will be live following the meal.

The healing wall’s last proper stop in Jasper County was in 2013.

Doug Bishop, who chairs the Jasper County Veterans Alliance, said the Redshirt group and the American Legion family organized the fundraiser.

“We’d like to see as many people turn out as we can,” Bishop said.

“We have a tremendous

amount of nice items that have been donated.

We just need bidders to come and throw bids at them.”

If the effort to bring the wall back to Jasper County is successful, it will happen in 2018.

Bishop said the plan is to incorporate local schools and make a big event out of it.

Spahn & Rose Lumber Co., Ballyhoo Printing, area golf courses and numerous individuals — “too many to mention,” according to Bishop — donated items for the auction.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

WEATHER FORECAST

On this date: In 1814, the Jane Austen novel “Mansfield Park” was first published in London.

In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson, acting on a joint congressional resolution, signed a proclamation designating the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. In 1926, Americans Richard Byrd and Floyd Bennett supposedly became the first men to fly over the North Pole. (However, U.S. scholars announced in 1996 that their examination of Byrd’s flight diary suggested he had turned back 150 miles short of his goal.)

In 1945, with World War II in Europe at an end, Soviet forces liberated Czechoslovakia from Nazi occupation. U.S. officials announced that a midnight entertainment curfew was being lifted immediately.

In 1961, in a speech to the National Association of Broadcasters, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Newton N. Minow decried the majority of television programming as a “vast wasteland.”

In 1974, the House Judiciary Committee opened public hearings on whether to recommend the impeachment of President Richard Nixon. (The committee ended up adopting three articles of impeachment against the president, who resigned before the full House took up any of them.)

In 1987, 183 people were killed when a New York-bound Polish jetliner crashed while attempting an emergency return to Warsaw.

In 1994, South Africa’s newly elected parliament chose Nelson Mandela to be the country’s first black president.

Ten years ago: Vice President Dick Cheney pressed Iraq’s leaders to do more to reduce violence and achieve political reconciliation during a trip to Baghdad that was punctuated by an explosion that shook windows at the U.S. Embassy where Cheney was visiting. Pope Benedict XVI began his first papal trip to Latin America as he arrived in Brazil.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama declared his unequivocal support for samesex marriage in a historic announcement that came three days after Vice President Joe Biden spoke in favor of such unions on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney repeated his opposition to gay marriage, telling reporters in Oklahoma City, “I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.” Hair stylist Vidal Sassoon, 84, died in Los Angeles.

One year ago: Filipinos went to the polls to elect Rodrigo Duterte, the controversial, tough-talking mayor of Davao city, to be their country’s next president.

That’s Odd Charges dismissed against man accused of stealing mom’s stew ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico man arrested for breaking into his mom’s house to steal her traditional New Mexican stew won’t face charges after all.

Last week, a state district judge dismissed charges against Jonathan Carlos Ray, who was charged in 2015 for the theft of his mother’s posole (poh-SOHlay). The judge says the only witnesses to the alleged crime were Ray and his mother.

Police say Ray was arrested after he ignored his mother’s orders to stay away from her posole and ran off with the holiday dish.

Back on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Monday after a week’s absence, he said baby Billy is recovering well from open-heart surgery for a birth defect and thanked well-wishers.

Then he charged back into the fraught topic.

“I made an emotional speech that was seen by millions, and as a result of my powerful words on that night, Republicans in Congress had second thoughts about repeal and replace” of the Affordable Care Act, he joked. “I saved health insurance in the United States of America!”

“What’s that? I didn’t save it? They voted against it anyway?” Kimmel said.

“That’s terrific if your baby’s health problems are all solved during that one visit. The only problem is that never, ever happens.

We’ve had a dozen doctor’s appointments since our son had surgery,” Kimmel said.

Kimmel brought on a current GOP lawmaker, U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a physician, who had suggested that the Senate’s upcoming health care legislation should have a “Jimmy Kimmel test” of covering pre-existing conditions but in a fiscally conservative way.

During a satellite interview with Cassidy, Kimmel asked about his position on issues including uninsured workers and protection of children under a revised health care bill.

Leave wildlife babies where they belong — in the wild Iowa Department of Natural Resources It’s as predictable as August heat. From border to border, the Wildlife Baby Season has arrived in Iowa. From now until at least mid-June, DNR field offices across the state will be inundated with hundreds of phone calls and scores of deliveries regarding “orphaned wildlife.”

Most calls begin with something like, “We were walking in the park when ...,” or “I looked out my window and saw ...” In nearly every instance, the scenario ends with something [or several somethings] being rescued from their mother.

During a typical season, the species will range all the way from baby robins and squirrels to spin-

dly-legged white-tailed fawns. At this time of the year it is not at all uncommon for biologists to discover that complete litters of baby raccoons, foxes, or even skunks have mysteriously appeared on their doorsteps.

Why this happens is no real mystery. From fuzzy yellow ducklings to tiny baby bunnies, nothing appears more cute and cuddly than a wildlife baby. But in reality, most of the wildlife reported to DNR field offices is not really orphaned at all. And while the people who attempt to “rescue” these babies have the best of intentions, they are in fact dooming the very creatures they intend to help.

The babies of most wildlife species leave their nests or dens well in ad-

Most mammals employ a slightly different strategy when it comes to caring for their adolescents. Since most mammals are largely nocturnal, the mother usually finds a safe daytime hideout for her young while she sleeps or looks for food. Consequently, it is perfectly normal for the young to be alone or unattended during the daylight hours.

Nevertheless, whenever a newborn fawn or a nest full of baby cot-

For many songbirds, the transition to independence comes quickly and may take as little as four or five days. For other species such as Canada geese, kestrels, or great horned owls, the young and parents may stay in contact for weeks -- even months.

At the beginning of the fledgling period, young birds appear clumsy, dull-witted, and vulnerable. The reason for this is because they really are clumsy, dull-witted, and vulnerable. But as the education process continues, the survivors

Whether they are adults or young, all species of wildlife have highly specific needs for survival. “Rescuing a baby from its mother” not only shows bad judgment, it also is illegal.

Trying to not turn red F

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

ollowing several days of rainy, gloomy weather, the sun finally decided to come out and shine in all of its glory last week. While I greatly appreciated the warmth and dry weather, it was also a reminder that I need to start carrying around one crucial supply: sunscreen.

I was born strawberry blond and fair skinned. For as long as I can remember, I have had sunscreen slathered on every inch of skin that might get sun-kissed.

As I got older, I started to spend every second of my summer at the pool.

Since I only lived about a block away, it was easy to hop on over, and it was definitely the place to be among my friends.

That was when I also started to learn the important lesson that sunscreen must be applied before, during and sometimes after I had been in the pool. Each year, it never failed I would get burnt at least once during the year and usually multiple times.

One common response to my sunburn is how it will turn into an awesome tan afterward. If only that were true but in my case, I just peel. Not

to gross anyone out, but I am one of those people, the people who love to peel. I mean, at least there is a little upside to all of the pain.

Like fond family memories, I have memories of different sunburns throughout the years. One such sunburn, my worst I can remember, happened while I was on vacation in Michigan. I thought I was doing a great job of reapplying while we were at the beach, spraying sunscreen all over several times. The key word in that sentence is spraying.

I had recently purchased the new spray sunscreen that was suppose to be easy to apply and give great coverage. While it may work for some people, I learned I need my sunscreen to be lotion based, and I need to apply it liberally, not spray and hope it falls on

my skin.

That night I turned completely red and even got a fever. I pretty much bathed in aloe vera, downed ibuprofen and moved as little as possible. It wasn’t a great way to spend vacation.

Most people, I have also found, only apply sunscreen to certain more burn prone areas. I, on the other hand, have to apply it anywhere the sun could reach. The top of my feet, check, in the part of my hair, check, and the back of my hands, check.

My unfortunate trait has also been passed on to my children, who, on top of me being fair skinned also have to contend with a red headed father. Let’s just say we have a large supply of sunscreen on hand at all times.

I wrote a book in a difficult time From time to time, Creators, the company I write for, gets out a book of my columns. The most recent book came out last Tuesday. It’s called “The Land of Trumpin” and it’s about 2016 and 2017, the year I lost so many of my own people.

I was a working-class kid. We lived in rented apartments with chain-store furniture. My folks paid the bills on time, but they never owned a new car and, when my father died, he left an insurance policy and a pinkie ring I wear sometimes.

I liked my own people, and two degrees in English Literature didn’t separate me from them. Neither did a newspaper job where I wore dress shirts and sat at a desk. None of my friends were in the newspaper business, and most of them didn’t have college degrees, except for a couple of cops who had salary-enhancing criminal justice degrees from third-rate colleges. I have friends who didn’t finish high school. I have friends who don’t speak English very well, and friends who have done a little time. I play by the old rule, which means that I don’t care what you do or don’t do, as long as I like you.

I was the only one in my newsroom who thought Donald Trump had a chance, and I thought he had a very good chance. I didn’t think this because I was a political genius. I thought it because I knew a hell of a lot of people who said they were going to vote for him, and none of them were the reporters who worked with me.

I wrote about it because I get paid to write. Writing isn’t my “calling,” it’s my paycheck. It’s my mortgage and those two tacos I ate for supper tonight.

I wrote it all, column after column, coming home from my reporter’s job to write, week after week, while the whole country boiled like water in a pot, while I learned to be afraid of my own people.

I’d always accepted the casual sexism, racism and anti-intellectualism of the boys at the bar, or the people who worked with me when I worked in hotel laundries and on loading docks. I knew most of it was just big talk, a laugh, a little bit of swagger while we wheezed our lives away for crap wages.

I just didn’t think anyone would ever turn that casual fascism into a party platform.

When Donald Trump said we had a big problem in America and it was called “political correctness,” I heard people say “damn right,” and I thought, “This clown’s likely to win.”

I love my own people more than I’ve ever loved them, because they’ve set up a terrible whiplash that’s going to come back on them like a striking snake. It sounded so tough, and it’s going to end so weak. The country is rocketing back to 1905, crushing workers’ rights, encouraging pollution, asking blacks, “Just who the hell do you think you are, boy?” and giving women the old kitchen/whorehouse choice.

It’s male as hell, and stupid as hell, and it stinks like a bucket of dead fish in the sunshine. It’ll make more poor people. Wait and see. My people are gonna take a two-by-four to the face, and they’re gonna sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” as the big piece of lumber whistles through the air.

Creators took the columns I wrote during terrible 2016, and part of 2017, and they made a book. I hope people buy it, and not because I need the money to live. I’ve got a job, and I’m only five years from retirement.

I want people to read it because I want people to know that at least one of my own people can say he’s sorry.

A tribute to a great NHS teacher During Teacher Appreciation week, two Newton School alumni would like to express sincere appreciation for the life, lessons and legacy of a truly great teacher who left an enduring legacy on our lives, Mr. Russ Clayton. His final lesson was taught on Aug. 9, 2016.

The class of 1988 remembers him as our eighth grade American History teacher. The way he taught brought history to life and made it truly interesting.

His generously-shared talents were part of Jan Cedarholm Moore’s decision to become a teacher. Her thoughts are shared in the following poem: So often we do not realize the impact others are having on our lives; our perspectives, our choices, our paths.

Looking back, it was he who guided me in life-changing ways...

His belief in me when I didn’t believe in myself.

His ability to make learning meaningful even to a hidden struggling learner.

His gift for helping his students understand not only the content being taught, But ourselves as learners, as young people trying to find our way.

Mr. Clayton, I teach because you understood me.

I teach because you inspired me to be and do my best.

I teach because you touched my life.

I teach because I, too, want to make a difference in the lives of others.

Thank you.

Thank you for impacting my life and helping me become who I am today.

Jan Cedarholm Moore Mount Vernon, Iowa NHS Class of 1988 Another student, Martin Postma, who first learned about our governmental systems from Mr. Clayton, later built his profession in local government management. His sentiments for the former teacher are captured in this poem:

There are papers to grade when the school bell has rung At home his thoughts may be slightly adrift For the struggling ones who seem to be miffed He cares for those kids in a parent-like way Wishing all to succeed at the end of the day He knows how a note on paper or test Can make a big impact — not taken in jest He fosters them each in an admirable way “Please go build a good life”, as if to say Tomorrow will bring many challenges new For students will come — and not just a few With questions to ask and lessons to learn Thank goodness most of them truly do yearn There’s politics too, with change in the air New board members now with ideas to share The principal’s young with an active career Technology brings both promise and fear When he looks back at his minimal pay Then imagines a place that’s far far away His family and friends say it will be OK As retirement comes on that long-wished-for day For many a year, the students he’ll watch Working their jobs — sometimes stopping to talk His first name they will not be able to say Respect for a teacher is something that stays When a teacher goes home at the end of the day And the lessons he’s taught move far and away Spread through the land within each student’s mind Therein is the worth of his hard work and time At the end of the day, when the bell chimes at last The community gathers — remembering the past Students of many grades will shed a tear In honor of their great teacher so dear A visit is made to that sunny green place By a student who now has a wrinkling face With an apple in hand to leave on the stone To tell the old friend that he’s never alone Martin J. Postma Thornton, Colorado, USA NHS Class of 1988

When a Teacher Goes Home When a teacher goes home at the end of the day And the kids all go off to do homework and play In the classroom he stays ‘cause the work isn’t done

Great teachers leave indelible marks in the lives of their students and the communities they serve. Jan and Martin wish to express our enduring gratitude to Mr. Clayton and to all of the talented and dedicated teachers who have served the Newton community.

Woman wonders if opposites can move beyond attraction DEAR ABBY: I have been in a two-year relationship with a man who is loving and intelligent. We have talked about marriage since the beginning. I have traditional values, while he doesn’t believe the institution of marriage is necessary.

This would be a second marriage for both of us. Our children are grown, so having kids doesn’t factor into this decision. He says he’s willing to marry me because he knows how important marriage is to me. I was raised in the church, and living together not only makes me uncomfortable, but is looked down upon by my family.

For a while he wanted to wait for a few of his financial issues to be worked out. They have been, but he doesn’t seem ready to move forward. Another issue is that while we are compatible in most ways, we are polar opposites when it comes to politics and religion.

It bothers me, but he says we don’t have to agree on everything — that if we did, life would be boring. I feel that to have a happy relationship, a couple’s essential values and morals should be similar.

He never wants to discuss political issues, and it makes things difficult and awkward. I know he doesn’t feel the same as I do, but he doesn’t want to start an argument or discussion. We never really fight, but sometimes I’d like to be able to talk about what is going on in the world.

I’m wondering if a relationship with so many differences can survive. He does make me happy, and we have a very passionate, loving relationship.

— OPPOSITES ATTRACT IN WASHINGTON DEAR OPPOSITES ATTRACT: Opposites often attract, that’s true. And, depending upon the people involved, it can lead to successful marriages.

However, couples in a solid relationship need to be able to communicate

honestly with each other, and your gentleman friend appears not to be capable of doing it fully, which is not a good sign. If you plan on taking this relationship to the next level, I recommend the two of you have premarital counseling. Your church may offer it. Or, if he would prefer, consult a licensed marriage and family counselor.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter is 3.

She has reached the point where she notices and comments upon others’ appearance. Generally, her comments are of the “that lady has a big bottom!” variety, spoken loudly and within earshot. We are working on the concepts of manners and tact, in addition to learning that people come in all shapes, sizes, colors, etc.

In the meantime, however, have you any suggestions for how to address the subjects of her comments? I’ve offered some version of “I’m sorry, we’re still working on our manners,” but it seems to imply that I’m teaching her to make her hurtful comments in a quieter voice. — EMBARRASSED IN KENTUCKY DEAR EMBARRASSED: You are overthinking this. Children sometimes say the darndest things. The way you’re handling it is just fine. I hardly think anyone will be wounded for life because of anything a 3-year-old utters. (Everything looks “big” to a kid that age.)

Hit-and-run case against ‘Bachelor’ star to proceed IOWA CITY — A judge says the felony prosecution of former “The Bachelor” star Chris Soules for allegedly leaving the scene of a fatal accident can proceed.

Prosecutors didn’t add new charges against Soules in the April 24 accident that killed 66-year-old farmer Kenneth Mosher.

Slain deputy remembered as loving dad

Group seeks to preserve historic prison FORT MADISON (AP) — A chance to tour the old prison in Fort Madison has drawn big crowds, encouraging local residents who want to preserve the historic structure, parts of which date to 1839.

The crowd, estimated to be in the thousands, lined up to get a look at the Historic Iowa State Penitentiary, a landmark previously closed to the general public.

“We’re very glad there is such an interest,” said Patti Wachtendorf, the penitentiary’s first female warden. “There’s a whole lot of history here. We’re thrilled to have a big turnout.”

The facility has been empty since its inmates were shuttled to a new, modern prison capable of holding hundreds more inmates a few years ago. It took on a temporary new life Sunday in its first public tour, an effort to rally support for preserving the old prison as a historical site.

A nonprofit, Historic Iowa State Penitentiary Inc., is seeking funds to preserve the structure.

During the tours, groups of about 20 were paired with a volunteer guide. Several of guides used to work inside the penitentiary.

Fort Madison resident Deann Huffman said she was excited about what the group would be seeing.

AP Photo Attorney Guy Cook looks at a photo of Simon, a giant rabbit that died after flying from the United Kingdom to Chicago, during a news conference Monday in Des Moines.

‘This case is about more than one rabbit’ DES MOINES (AP) — United Airlines hasn’t explained why a giant rabbit died after being flown from London to Chicago or why it had the animal cremated within hours of his death, a lawyer for the rabbit’s buyers said Monday, announcing possible legal action.

Des Moines Attorney Guy Cook, representing an Iowa group that bought the continental giant rabbit named Simon, said his clients want details about Simon’s death and an explanation of why he was cremated before a necropsy, or post-mortem examination, could be conducted.

Cook said he sent a letter to United on May 4 but hasn’t received a reply, other than a confirmation that the matter had been referred to the airline’s lawyers.

“United has taken no action to rectify this,” Cook said, raising larger questions about how the airline treats the animals

it transports. “This case is about more than one rabbit.”

Simon flew from London’s Heathrow Airport to Chicago on April 20 and was supposed to fly an onward leg to Kansas City, Mo., but he died after landing at O’Hare International Airport.

United spokesman Charles Hobart said the company had reached “a satisfactory resolution” with the rabbit’s breeder, Annette Edwards, in Worcestershire in the United Kingdom. Asked about the letter from the animal’s buyers, the cremation or other issues, he said only that Edwards was United’s customer and that she had turned down an offer of a post-mortem examination. He declined to answer other questions.

News of the rabbit’s death came as the airline was struggling to repair its image following the videotaped removal of a passenger from a United plane at Chicago’s

O’Hare airport. Images of the passenger, who was battered as he was dragged from the plane, circulated widely on social media and prompted condemnation and threats of a lawsuit.

The passenger quickly reached a settlement with United for an undisclosed sum.

Earlier, the airline was criticized after two young girls weren’t allowed on a flight because they wore leggings.

Speaking in front of a large video monitor displaying a photo of the dead rabbit on its side in a large crate, Cook said the group of Des Moines area businessmen who bought Simon had intended to display him at this summer’s Iowa State fair. After winning a prize for the largest rabbit, the men intended to take Simon to other events and raise money for the fair, an iconic Iowa event that stretches over 11 days in August, Cook said.

COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — The western Iowa sheriff ’s deputy who authorities say was killed by an inmate during a jail escape was remembered Monday for the way he treated everyone with respect.

More than 1,000 people — most of them law enforcement officers from various agencies — gathered at an arena in Council Bluffs to honor Pottawattamie County Deputy Mark Burbridge. Burbridge was fatally wounded last Monday Burbridge when an inmate returning from court grabbed a gun and shot Burbridge and another deputy, officials said.

He was captured after a police chase in nearby Omaha, Nebraska.

Burbridge’s three children shared memories of the 43-year-old and his regular trips to auto parts stores because he loved fixing anything with a motor, especially if it was a classic car.

Stepdaughter Kelsey Brant said she didn’t mind those trips to parts stores because it meant she got to spend time with him.

“He was your hero when he was wearing that badge and uniform, but he was our hero every day,” Brant said.

Daughter Karley Burbridge said her dad was her hero not just for his work protecting the community but also for protecting her from the monsters under her bed. And she gave a hard time about his unfinished projects.

“He liked rock music and starting projects — emphasis on starting,” Karley Burbridge said.

Pastor Michael Harvey told stories about the time Burbridge added hot sauce to his partner’s ketchup and how he loved to joke around with kids, but he said Burbridge always approached his job seriously and with caring.

“He was compassionate. He was respectful of everyone,” Harvey said.

At the funeral Burbridge’s casket was escorted by six pallbearers in uniform and a full honor guard. When his body left the arena, the casket was wheeled out between two rows of American flags held by Patriot Guard motorcycle riders while hundreds of officers stood saluting.

Burbridge had worked as an officer for the past 17 years, including the last 12 for the sheriff ’s department. Last Monday, he and Deputy Pat Morgan were returning 24-year-old Wesley Correa-Carmenaty and another inmate to jail after court hearings.

Tiger Packs to be recipients of first 100+ People Who Care donations Newton Daily News The Tiger Packs program benefiting students at Grinnell’s elementary schools will be the recipient of the first donations from 100+ People Who Care-Grinnell.

The voting process at the membership meeting on April 25 resulted in Tiger Packs being selected. With membership now approaching 60, the resulting gift total will be at least $5,600 to benefit this supplemental nutrition outreach program.

Tiger Packs are filled with shelf-stable nutritional food, and are discretely distributed to children at the end of the school week to help ensure they have adequate nutrition through the weekend. Children whose families qualify through the free or reduced lunch program are eligible recipients of Tiger Packs. Tiger Packs are readied by volunteers, with support from Hy-Vee and from the Grinnell-Poweshiek Community Foundation.

It was stated that while there is adequate funding for this school year, the additional inflow of funds will ensure continuation and expansion of the program in the 2017-2018 school year.

100+ People Who Care – Grinnell is a new organization, made up of people who meet quarterly to determine how their pooled donations of $100 per member can positively impact the greater Grinnell area.

The April 25 meeting was the first meeting where the actual voting and selection process occurred. Four nominations were submitted for consideration. Of these four, three were selected at random, and each nominator made a brief presentation, followed by a period for questions. The members then voted, with the support, at this meeting, going to the Tiger Pack program.

The causes not selected at this meeting, as well as other nominations, can be submitted for consideration at the next meeting, on July 25. All members of 100+ People Who

Cardinal girls net second at LHC meet

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

GRINNELL — Megan Pressgrove wrapped up her senior tennis season in Little Hawkeye Conference action playing for first in the No. 1 singles division of the conference tournament Monday.

Pressgrove, who finished third at No. 1 singles in last year’s tournament, challenged Pella’s Brooke Jorgensen for the championship. Jorgensen won the first set, 6-5, then cruised to a 6-0 second-set win to claim the title.

Second-place Pressgrove opened the tournament at Grinnell with a third-set tie-

breaker victory. She downed Megan Grubb of Indianola, 6-2, 6-3 (10-7). Pressgrove netted a 6-1, 6-2 decision over Pella Christian’s Andrea Carballo in the semifinals.

Pella’s Lady Dutch won three of the four divisions — No. 1 singles, No. 1 doubles and No. 2 singles — on their way to a LHC tournament championship with 50 points.

Newton’s Cardinals scored 34 points to claim second place.

Pella Christian was third with 25 points. Grinnell and Indianola each scored 24 points, tying for fourth. Norwalk had 22 points for sixth and Oskaloosa was seventh with 19 points.

Oskaloosa’s Macy Sharff and Josie Bunnell are the No. 2 doubles champions. Newton’s No. 2 doubles team of Natalie Camp and Harlie Durr were fifth.

Camp and Durr lost 6-3, 6-4 to Indianola’s Carrington Kuehl and Madie Sorensen then defeated Pella Christian’s Sophie Vander Molen and Cassidy Bush 7-6 (2), 6-5 to reach the fifth-place match.

The Cardinal duo snared a 6-5, 6-2 win over Norwalk’s Madison Theilen and Kennedi Wright for fifth.

Bethany Baumgartner played in the No. 2 singles division for Newton. She opened with a 6-2, 6-1 win

over Ginnell’s Gillian Ferguson. In the semifinals, she lost in a third-set tiebreaker to Norwalk’s Emma Tollefeson, 3-6, 6-4 (11-9).

Baumgartner rebounded to claim third place in No. 2 singles. She beat Pella Christian’s Morgan Bush 5-6, 6-3 (10-2).

Newton’s No. 1 doubles team of Katherine Thorpe and Kinzie Lorre finished third with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Pella Christian’s Jaden Joy Morgan and Erica Van Soelen. Thorpe and Lorre won 6-2, 6-5 over Oskaloosa’s Mary Yarkosky and Kaity Richmond to open the tournament then lost 6-0, 6-0 to division champion Pella’s Bronwyn Metcalf and Ce-

cily Johnston in the semifinals.

Stenhouse writes new chapter as a NASCAR winner TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — “I have a boyfriend, his name is Richard.”

With those eight words spoken by Danica Patrick in 2013, everything Ricky Stenhouse Jr. had accomplished in his career became a footnote.

He was suddenly “Danica’s boyfriend.” The princess of auto racing had finally found her prince charming, mullet and all.

The moment the fellow NASCAR drivers went public with their relationship, Stenhouse was thrust into a spotlight that had nothing to do with his racing resume. He was an accessory. Because he was a young driver trying to make it in the big leagues with a team on a rapid descent into mediocrity, Stenhouse had little chance to stand on his own.

He was, for the first few years, the man on Danica’s arm.

But ever so slowly, he chipped away at his craft. He got better and has been handson in the long, painful rebuild at Roush Fenway Racing.

All the while, it was Patrick standing by his side, pushing him to work harder, eat healthier and simply be better.

Now Stenhouse is a Monster Energy Cup Series winner, and it was his famous girlfriend who was there to greet him Sunday when he pulled into victory lane at Talladega Superspeedway. It was their first trip to the podium as a couple, and because she’d crashed out earlier in the race,

she’d been able to watch him use a last-lap pass of Kyle Busch to nab his first victory in 158 career Cup starts. She was in street clothes for the celebration that began when she leaned in for a big kiss.

This was a huge moment.

For Stenhouse. For his father, who was almost arrested trying to climb a fence to cross the track to get to his son in his biggest moment. For the couple that races but doesn’t win.

The moment, for once, belonged to Stenhouse.

“Both of our main focus is to go out and run well and win races and do what we have to do to do that,” Stenhouse said of Patrick. “She understands

that I’m going to go to the shop a lot, and to have that support and her knowing where I’m coming from is great to have.

I don’t mind being known as her boyfriend. She doesn’t mind being known as my girlfriend. It goes either way, and we couldn’t be in a better place right now.”

NASCAR was there to celebrate with the couple, Stenhouse the latest new face to win in a series undergoing a serious changing of the guard.

At 29, Stenhouse is still young enough to develop into a star.

His victory at Talladega earned him a spot in the All-Star race and, likely, the playoffs. He did it for a Roush

team that was once the pride of the Ford camp but has been on a decline for years.

The team that once fielded Mark Martin, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Jeff Burton and Greg Biffle and won back-toback championships in 2003 and 2004 has downsized to just two drivers and a lot of sub-par finishes.

But Roush has slowly established a bit of consistency, and the improvement is evident through 10 races this year.

Trevor Bayne is 16th in the standings. Stenhouse has nearly hit career highs in every category, is 12th in the standings, and most important to the organization, both have a shot to make the

The other Tigerhawk to claim all-conference honors was Russell. She was sixth overall with a 100. She shot a 50 on both the front and back nines.

The other two counting scores from the Tigerhawks came from sophomore Chelsea Russell and freshman Sydni Hostetter. Chelsea Russell carded a 49 on the front nine and a 59 on the back nine for a 108.

“I think it means everything for us,” team President Steve Newmark said. “Ricky has had ample opportunity to mail it in, yet he’s at the shop at 6:30 a.m. working with the guys on occasion, and he has really taken that leadership mantle. He and Trevor both have stepped up, and that’s really what’s brought us back.”

The Talladega victory was such a sweet redemption for Stenhouse, a Mississippi native who considers it his home track.

And it was in 2014 — the last year a Roush driver had won a race before Sunday — that Stenhouse embarrassingly failed to qualify at Talladega. He had to stay for the race, honor sponsor commitments, watch Patrick race and wonder if he was on a sinking ship with Roush.

Still, he had won a pair of Xfinity titles with Roush and he had faith the team could win again.

“I believed in all the guys that I had around me and the team, that they still wanted the same thing that I wanted, and that was to get back in victory lane, to compete, and to know that we’re here every weekend like we were in the Xfinity Series,” Stenhouse said.

“I want that feeling here.

We’re not there yet, but they know we’re here. We’re on some of them’s radar screen.

We’re not on all of them yet.

There’s teams that don’t look at us throughout practice yet, but they will.”

THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) — John Daly is happy to be back on top, no matter how bad he may have looked finishing it off.

Daly closed with three straight closing bogeys Sunday to hang on for his first PGA Tour Champions title, a one-stroke victory in the Insperity Invitational.

“It wasn’t pretty at the end,” Daly said. “But I got it done and that’s all that matters.”

The 51-year-old Daly had not won on tour since the PGA Tour’s 2004 Buick Invitational. He hasn’t exactly torn up the 50-and-over circuit since debuting at The Woodlands a year ago.

Wearing American flag pants, Daly shot a 3-under 69 to finish at 14-under 202 and earned $322,500. He opened with rounds of 68 and 65 to take a one-stroke lead over Kenny Perry into the final round.

Perry and Tommy Armour III tied for second.

Perry had a 69, and Armour shot 67.

Daly eagled the par-5 first, and appeared to be cruising to victory, up to 17 under through the 15th hole to lead by two shots.

Poor tee shots on the final three holes led to mistakes that Perry and Armour could not take advantage of in trying to chase down Daly.

As Daly walked up the 18th green, he knelt and kissed the large, colorful umbrella printed on the fairway to honor the late Arnold Palmer.

“A win is a win, man,” he said. “And I didn’t think it would come this soon.

Now, I can say I’m a champion on the Champions Tour, which is really cool.”

are many moving parts here, but most happen as a chain reaction to your moving only one or two of them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Don’t assume that as long as your time is available you should keep filling it up. Every commitment affects every other commitment. Leave a wide stretch of open space in that schedule and you’ll be glad you did.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Lately you couldn’t care less about what people think of you -- which is precisely why you are so well-liked. If you dare to extend an invitation, you’ll be most pleased with the response you receive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know what you want to ac-

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

At best, it will be useless to talk about anything outside your realm of direct experience and knowledge. At worst, such talk will be harmful. Gossip is dangerous to both the gossiper and the subject of gossip.

You are now in the perfect position to impress and impact with a performance they weren’t expecting.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People who don’t want to do boring work will try and rope you into doing it. How frustrating! But actually, you might find that it’s not half as boring as you thought. In fact, there’s something juicy in this for you.
