Vehicle pursuit through Newton leads to one arrest

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A vehicle and foot chase led to the arrest of an Urbandale man Tuesday evening.

Christopher G. Friedson, 32, was arrested on charges including operating while intoxicated and eluding after the Newton Police Department was called at 7:53 p.m. by a citizen about a vehicle all over the road.

The officer located the vehicle and attempted to make a stop in the 1200 block of First Avenue East. Friedson refused to stop and continued eastbound toward Kellogg.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Iowa Department of Transportation is looking at a piece of land southeast of Newton adjacent to the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office and Iowa Speedway where the former county home was located for the potential site of a Traffic Management Training Center. The Jasper County Board of Supervisors gave approval for the IDOT to perform surveys on the land as a first step in seeing in the area will work for the center.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Iowa Department of Transportation was given the go-ahead by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors to take the next steps in determining if the former Jasper County Home property can be used for the IDOT Traffic Management Training Center.

The board approved a written agreement on Tuesday following a tour of the property and adja-

cent pasture last week.

“This needs to happen, as I understand it, before anything else can take place,” supervisor Joe Brock said. “If these things don’t pan out the property is not of interest to them.”

In the agreement, the IDOT will conduct topographical, geophysical or other land surveys along with environment review for wetland, woodland, cultural resources, threatened or endangered species or other environ-

ment resources. The surveys will be conducted primarily on foot or with the use of light duty vehicles with very minimal ground disturbance expected. If any land is disturbed it will be returned to pre-survey conditions.

IDOT staff will be conducting the surveys and expect to be on the land primarily during the summer. The board will be notified prior to work beginning on the property.

The IDOT is looking

to use the property to construct a training facility that allows responders including law enforcement, fire and rescue, emergency medical services, towing facilitators and any other entity that may be a part of a traffic incident to train in real life scenarios in a safe setting. The proposal was first brought before the board earlier this year by Dave Lorenzen from the IDOT.

Following the school board’s approval Monday night, the Newton Community School District will be tackling a couple of maintenance projects this summer.

Maintenance Supervisor Jack Suttek outlined the construction of a maintenance storage facility near the high school and a roofing project at Emerson Hough Elementary before the board. Both projects were budgeted in the district’s 10-year plan.

The storage building is a big-time need, Suttek said. It’s something the maintenance supervisor has been calling for since he started four years ago.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | May 10, 2017

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Wednesday, May 10, the 130th day of 2017. There are 235 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 10, 1869, a golden spike was driven in Promontory, Utah, marking the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in the United States.

On this date: In 1774, Louis XVI acceded to the throne of France.

In 1775, Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys, along with Col. Benedict Arnold, captured the British-held fortress at Ticonderoga, New York.

In 1863, during the Civil War, Confederate Lt. Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson died of pneumonia, a complication resulting from being hit by friendly fire eight days earlier during the Battle of Chancellorsville in Virginia.

In 1865, Confederate President Jefferson Davis was captured by Union forces in Irwinville, Georgia.

In 1924, J. Edgar Hoover was named acting director of the Bureau of Investigation (later known as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI).

In 1933, the Nazis staged massive public book burnings in Germany.

In 1940, during World War II, German forces began invading the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium and France. The same day, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain resigned, and Winston Churchill formed a new government.

In 1941, Adolf Hitler’s deputy, Rudolf Hess, parachuted into Scotland on what he claimed was a peace mission. (Hess ended up serving a life sentence at Spandau Prison until 1987, when he apparently committed suicide at age 93.)

In 1977, Academy Award-winning actress Joan Crawford died in New York.

In 1994, Nelson Mandela took the oath of office in Pretoria to become South Africa’s first black president. The state of Illinois executed serial killer John Wayne Gacy, 52, for the murders of 33 young men and boys.

Ten years ago: British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced he would step down June 27. (Blair was succeeded by fellow Labourite Gordon Brown.) The Democratic-controlled House, by a vote of 255-171, defeated legislation to require the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq within nine months.

Five years ago: Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney apologized for “stupid” high school pranks that might have gone too far and moved quickly to stamp out any notion that he’d bullied schoolmates because they were gay.

JPMorgan Chase said it had lost $2 billion in six weeks in a trading portfolio designed to hedge against risks the company took with its own money.

One year ago: With his White House dreams fading, Bernie Sanders added another state to his tally against Hillary Clinton with a win in West Virginia; Republican Donald Trump also won there and in Nebraska, a week after he cleared the field of his remaining rivals. A man went on a stabbing rampage in Taunton, Massachusetts, killing two people and assaulting and stabbing more in a house and a shopping mall before being shot dead by an off-duty sheriff ’s deputy.

“Storage is horrible,” Suttek said. “We need more storage. Our equipment is stored outside.

We don’t even have a place to store our lawn mowers in the wintertime.”

The approved storage building will sit south of the high school on ground the NCSD already owns and serves the entire district. The facility will measure 50 feet by 100 feet and cost a little more than $30,000.

The metal building will be purchased as a kit, and the district will construct it. Suttek said having an outside company construct the building would about double the cost, and the district has the man-power to get it done this summer.

The new building will free up some space for Newton High School’s athletic programs, too.

down, we’ve been making a list of all kinds of items that we want to save that are costly items that we can reuse at all the buildings in the district,” Suttek said. “We don’t have any place to put that stuff.”

The Emerson Hough roofing project was estimated to cost $100,000 as part of the district’s

10-year plan, but it looks like the actual cost will be much lower. The board approved a bid for $54,800 for the project through Hopkins Roofing, which was thousands of dollars less than the other bids.

The section of roof that needs to be replaced is on the tallest part of the building, which is a flat, rubber roof. It has been on Suttek’s to-do list for two years. Hopkins Roofing did the original roofing on the building and it held up well, he said.

“They’re hungry for the work right now, and they’re offering us a 20 year warranty on the roof,” Suttek said. “It’s pretty much, to me, a no-brainer.”

The new roof at Emerson Hough will be made of vinyl and ballasted, which means there will be a layer of rock spread across the top.

‘13 Reasons Why’ you should notice the stigma T

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | May 10, 2017

Candidly Unfiltered Kayla Langmaid

here has been endless buzz about a Netflix series that was released last month. The show “13 Reasons Why” has prompted a good amount of bad reviews, but I think especially in this case, bad reviews are better than no reviews.

Just like most iconic series, the show was initially a book and it was written by Jay Asher. The fictional story is about a teen girl, Hannah, who commits suicide following intense bullying, harassment, sexual assault and other incidents during her

high school life that are portrayed throughout the series.

I have only made it through episode five and in all honesty some scenes are cringe worthy. That isn’t because the acting is bad or it’s unrealistic, and that’s the thing, it is so gut-wrenching realistic I can only tolerate one episode per day, which is unlike other shows I can shamelessly binge watch. It’s heart-breaking and far from uplifting in comparison to “Gilmore Girls.”

I don’t enjoy watching it, but I decided to finish it out solely because I want to be “in the loop” when I hear people talking about the show, and I want to find out how it ends.

It seems like social media is boom-

ing with comments and reviews about the show and how some schools have even sent home notes to parents saying they should be cautious about letting their kids watch. Although I’m not entitled to give a review quite yet, I do think the series has prevailed in doing its job. It has gotten people talking about mental illness.

There might be flaws in the show and some scenes are probably completely inappropriate for teens to watch, but I think it is valuable for adults to absolutely watch. Not only does it bring to light what teens struggle with in today’s world, but it also depicts true signs of depression that clearly weren’t taken seriously by the adults in the show.

So far, I would not recommend the show to anyone younger than 16, but I do think it could be used in a positive way, such as, a conversation starter for parents and as an example for school counselors to use if they

were to show appropriate scenes to a class and address the seriousness of bullying.

Most of all, I applaud the author for not taking the issues that trigger mental illness and shoving them under a rug. The way Asher portrays the kids in the book and show is terrifying. When I have kids one day, am I going to fear sending them to school where they could potentially be bullied and harassed with no repercussions for the perpetrator? I’m not saying we should baby teens, but there is a real concern of what is considered “too far,” and how do school districts deal with certain situations?

I hope parents, teachers and the community will be mindful of the real issues young people are facing.

I hope they will notice the stigma of mental illness. Our teens are our future of tomorrow.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

Racism, but only if it’s from groups the left hates An odd tweet appeared recently in my mentions from verified Twitter users — users prominent enough to be granted a blue check mark by Twitter itself. This one came courtesy of a rapper named Talib Kweli Greene. I’ll admit I’d never heard of Greene until he suddenly appeared in my mentions calling me a “racist ass.” It turns out Greene is a rapper with well over 1 million Twitter followers and a long history of “social activism.”

A quick search of Greene’s Twitter feed showed a wide variety of instances of the rapper calling people “white boy” and “coon.” He says that this does not make him racist, of course — only the term “black boy” would be racist, since Greene maintains that white people cannot truly be victimized by racism. When I pointed out that seeming incongruity, Greene replied: “What’s the problem white boy? You think ‘white boy’ is racist? Wow. You’re dumber than I thought.” He then dared me to call him “black boy,” which, of course, I would never do, since that would be racist.

What’s Greene’s actual argument? It seems to be that since the derogatory slur “black boy” was thrown around by lynch mobs, any other derogatory slur can no longer be derogatory. This is the rhetorical equivalent of the argument your mother used to make back in grade school: You’re not truly hungry, since there are children in China who are starving to death. The argument fails for the same reason: Yes, it turns out there are gradations of racism, just as there are gradations of hunger.

But you were hungry when you were a kid, even if your bowels weren’t distended, and you’re a racist if you call someone “white boy” in a derogatory fashion, even if you’re not attempting to lynch him.

Thanks to the theory of intersectionality, however, such logic goes by the wayside. Intersectional theory has now taken over the college campuses, leaving the broken corpses of decency and reason in its wake. Intersectionality classifies social categories of race, class, gender and sexual orientation into a hierarchy of victimhood that decides how you should be treated. If you are a black lesbian, for example, you outrank a black straight man and your view must be treated with more care and weight than that of the black straight man. More importantly, since society somehow classifies you as “lesser” than the black straight man, you are incapable of ever doing anything to victimize that black straight man — social powerlessness means that your individual victim status never changes.

This is why Greene and others on the left believe it’s just fine to use “white boy” as a slur: Black people have historically seen discrimination in America that whites have not; whites benefit from a more powerful status in society at large; and therefore, black people cannot possibly be racist against white people. As Morehouse College Professor Dr. Marc Lamont-Hill said last year, “black people don’t have the institutional power to be racist or to deploy racism.”

There’s only one problem with this notion: It’s racist.

Racism bolstered by power is obviously more dangerous than racism without it. But racism can be used to achieve power, too — generally through the polarization of racial groups against one another. Tribalism is a powerful force, and resorting to a victimhood mentality to explain tribalism away doesn’t make it any less toxic. The faster Americans learn that, the faster racism can actually be curbed rather than exacerbated.

School calendar has twist you can’t miss I just found out the 20172018 school calendar is out. I remember seeing something about school getting out every Monday afternoon at 1:30 for Professional Development, and I was OK with that idea. Having an entire Monday off every month was sometimes difficult so this was a great way to let the teachers get their Professional Development time and not have to have a three day weekend once a month.

I was mistaken — and maybe you were too. The schools will dismiss at 1:30 on Mondays AND there will be no school on the last Monday of the month as it will also be a Professional Development day. This is about 11 hours of Professional Development time each month.

In my opinion, this is pretty excessive and puts way too much

Pregnancy Center grateful for support The Pregnancy Center of Central Iowa wants to extend heartfelt thanks for the tremendous amount of support we received in the Annual Walk for Life, which was held May 6. Walkers raised 50 percent more than last year’s total, which will help PCCI continue to carry out its mission of providing physical, emotional and spiritual support to those parents and family members experiencing pregnancies and hav-

strain on working families. This strategy will require working families to try to find a way to have their children picked up at various times during the week, add to a family’s daycare costs (which they already can’t afford), and/or pray that their kids don’t get into trouble because they are alone longer during the week (because they can’t afford daycare costs).

When I went to work in an office, I understood my hours were 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. I would have two weeks of paid vacation a year, and I would work for people who were not very nice. I know that teachers are working longer than the 3 p.m. dismissal bell, but I do not believe they work until 5 p.m. very often. If teachers need an extra 10 hours a week for Professional Development, they can add half an hour to their work day for three days a week. I love the teachers my kids have had. I know they work hard and have to deal with people and kids that

can be unpleasant. I am thankful to the people on the school board. It is my fault I did not see this in the papers or pay closer attention to agendas, etc. It is my fault I did not speak up in time.

But I am asking the school board to step up and fix this schedule to help these parents and families who are stressed enough these days.

Please find another way to get Professional Development time. Please write a letter to Superintendent Callaghan and also someone on the school board to let them know how this new schedule affects your family. Even if it is different than mine — I am OK if I am in the minority. I am a stay at home mom who can take care of things easier than many in this town. But if you agree with me, make sure you indicate how this schedule truly adds to your frustrations and hurts your pocketbook and your child’s education.

Mom takes needless risks following her son’s suicide

DEAR ABBY: My fiancee has a death wish. She recently lost her youngest child to suicide. She’s in a lot of pain and rarely has a good day. She suffers from PTSD and relives the scene daily in her mind.

She’s a hard worker, so that helps to keep her mind off things. She lives in an empty house with nothing there but farm animals, which she says do help to make her happy.

Abby, I’m worried because she does things that put her in danger, like staying at her son’s grave alone at night for hours. She told me recently she’s planning to go out of state to visit her other son and then spend six days by herself camping and hiking. She also goes jogging alone late at night and leaves her doors unlocked.

It seems she just doesn’t care about what may happen. She says don’t worry, but I’m terrified that one day something will happen. She’s not someone who would put up a fight.

We’re recently engaged and I care deeply about her and her safety, but I’m helpless to say anything because she just gets mad. I don’t know what to do. Can you maybe help me? — VERY CONCERNED FIANCE IN FLORIDA DEAR FIANCE: Your fiancee is in the throes of grief. If she is the person who discovered her son’s body, she may be numb with shock and not thinking clearly.

It is not unusual for people who have lost a loved one — particularly a child — to wonder if life is still worth living and to engage either consciously or subconsciously in risk-taking behavior. A licensed psychotherapist or a suicide support group could help her to recognize what she’s doing and to get through this. Seeing others who have experienced what she has and who are further along in the grieving process would be helpful.

If she’s resistant to the idea, offer to go with her. The American Federation for Suicide Prevention (afsp.org) can help you find resources in your state.

DEAR ABBY: The husbands of both my two daughters asked for my blessing prior to asking my girls to marry them. I felt what they did was respectful and it was very much appreciated. My wife felt the same way when I relayed the good news to her.

I believe this courtesy replaced what in the “olden days” was a request for PERMISSION from the father rather than a blessing and, in my opinion, is more appropriate. If I am correct in my assumption that “permission” has evolved to “blessing,” I wonder if it would have been more appropriate for them to have asked my wife and me together for our blessing. Your thoughts? — PROUD PAPA DEAR PROUD PAPA: Men asked permission of fathers to marry their daughters in “olden days” because the daughters were considered property. They could not marry without their father’s consent. Thankfully, those customs are long gone — in western society, at least. Please stop second-guessing your sons-in-law, who both seem like gems to me.

Many couples today forgo the courtesy altogether.

IOWA CITY — The University of Iowa is seeking to delay the upcoming trial in a lawsuit filed by fired women’s field hockey coach Tracey Griesbaum. Assistant attorney general George Carroll filed a motion Tuesday seeking to push back Griesbaum’s June 5 trial until a later date. Judge Eliza Ovrom said Monday she may have a scheduling conflict if the case lasts longer than two weeks. Carroll wrote that that the university “will not be able to present an adequate defense” in the 10-day period.

CEDAR RAPIDS — The city of Cedar Rapids will join Des Moines and Muscatine in appealing a recent judge’s ruling saying the Iowa Department of Transportation has the authority to order cities to remove automated traffic-enforcement cameras from highways and interstates.

The ruling late last month says the DOT has the power to apply safety regulations on primary highways, and that the right doesn’t interfere with cities’ ability to enforce speed regulations.

5 Man pleads guilty to jail fraud scheme targeting elderly

A news release from the U.S. attorney’s office in Cedar Rapids says 37-year-old Carlos Rodriguez, who lives in the Dubuque area, pleaded guilty to wire fraud. His sentencing date hasn’t been set.

Court documents say the schemers defrauded people in at least 30 states.

Rep. Rod Blum quits interview Iowa prison over town hall questions captain fired for ammunition buys IOWA CITY (AP) — The Iowa Department of Corrections fired a prison captain after finding that he purchased ammunition for his and other employees’ personal use through its supplier at the tax-free government rate, documents show.

D.J. Quinlan, a supervisor at the Iowa Medical and Classification Center in Coralville, was fired Feb. 17 after spending nine months on paid leave during a disciplinary investigation that the department had ordered him to keep quiet. His firing became public last week when Quinlan appealed it to the Public Employment Relations Board. A criminal investigation into his alleged misconduct remains open.

Tom Reid, who’s representing Quinlan, said officials are overreacting to an innocent effort by Quinlan to allow employees to purchase ammunition with their own money at the state price.

Quinlan, a prison firearms instructor, claims the arrangement helped employees practice on their personal time and had been approved by managers, who deny that assertion.

“He has 32 years of service, not one iota of discipline and excellent performance reviews.

What’s the state doing firing this guy?” said Reid, the prison’s retired security director, who argued that badges and uniforms can be purchased under similar ar-

rangements.

State officials say some of the bullets weren’t the type that employees fire during annual proficiency tests, suggesting those orders were personal.

They allege Quinlan committed fraud when he signed and backdated a document certifying that the purchases were tax-exempt because they were for the department’s “exclusive use.”

Quinlan made the orders beginning in 2013 through Ultramax, which has a contract to supply ammunition to state agencies, submitting them on prison letterhead but requesting they be shipped to his home. Ultramax charged the state rate, which was attractive to employees during a time of skyrocketing ammunition prices. Quinlan paid and was reimbursed by employees as shipments arrived.

The purchases didn’t face sales tax from the South Dakota-based supplier, but the state is alleging an 11 percent excise tax on ammunition should have applied.

Reid said Quinlan signed the tax-exemption certification because Ultramax directed him to do so to complete an order, saying Quinlan had no intent to commit fraud or avoid taxes. He said the bullets would have been a bargain even with the tax.

The state launched disciplinary and criminal investigations a year ago, after Ultramax called the prison to inquire about an overdue invoice.

DES MOINES — Iowa Rep. Rod Blum stormed out of a TV interview when pressed about why he screens those who attend his public meetings.

He then held a town hall, where he was booed and jeered by constituents angry over his vote to Blum repeal the 2010 federal health care law.

The second-term Iowa Republican and member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus later said he had been “ambushed” by the television news reporter who was questioning him.

The televised exchange in front of a group of young schoolchildren and the contentious forum that followed at Dubuque Senior High School were a glimpse at the tension facing some House members, especially since last week’s vote to gut major portions of the Affordable Care Act, which is also known as Obamacare.

“I’m done ... this is ridiculous,” Blum said two minutes into an interview with Cedar Rapids station KCRG which was shot during a visit to the Dubuque Dream Center, which helps poor, mostly black, children in Blum’s hometown of Dubuque.

Reporter Josh Scheinblum first asked Blum why he requires audience members at his public meetings to provide identifica-

tion. Blum answered that it was to ensure they were from Iowa’s First District, a 20-county expanse of northern and eastern Iowa that also includes Cedar Rapids, Waterloo and wide tracts of farm land.

When Scheinblum then asked Blum if he accepted campaign contributions from donors who live outside the district, Blum stood up and removed his clipon microphone, saying, “I mean, he’s going to sit here and just badger me...unbelievable.”

During the town hall event that followed, Blum faced angry shouts from members of the audience of roughly 1,000.

An audience member asked Blum why he walked out of the TV interview, which was made public before the forum.

Blum replied, “Well, we get there and we were ambushed. It was very apparent that he had an agenda. It’s my right to say that this interview is over.”

Blum was among the roughly 30 Freedom Caucus members who helped derail a vote in March on an earlier version of the House Republican bill to repeal and replace the health care law. Blum voted for a new version last week but he remained critical, saying he doesn’t think it goes far enough in undoing the 2010 law.

“This bill is a tweak of Obamacare. It’s not repeal and replace. It’s not even close,” Blum said during a separate KCRG interview at the high school immediately before the public meeting.

Branstad signs fireworks bill; vendors eager to sell DES MOINES — Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad legalized the sale of bottle rockets, roman candles and most other consumer fireworks Tuesday, signing a bill that has sparked enthusiasm from vendors eager to expand into the state.

Branstad signed the bill at a Capitol ceremony surrounded by

fireworks vendors and lawmakers, some of whom have worked for years to pass legislation that ends Iowa’s nearly 80 year ban on such explosives. Most of Iowa’s neighbors already allow the sales of most fireworks, as do 43 other states across the country.

Northey: Warmer, dryer weather allowed farmers time to plant DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa Crop Progress and Condition report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“After a wet start to the week, warmer and dryer weather allowed farmer to get in the fields and now just over half of the corn acres have been planted.

The rain showers that rolled across parts of western and central Iowa today will slow farmers in those areas, but hopefully the return of warm dry weather will allow them back in the fields soon. If the good weather

holds we will continue to see significant progress on both corn and soybean planting the next several days,” Northey said.

The weekly Northey report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia. The report summary follows here: Crop Report Drier conditions as the week

progressed allowed farmers to plant corn and soybeans during the week ending May 7, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Statewide there were 3.4 days suitable for fieldwork. However, below normal temperatures have slowed the emergence of crops.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 0 percent short, 82 percent adequate and 18 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 1 percent short, 80 percent adequate and 19 percent surplus. Southwest and South Central Districts reported 25 percent or more surplus subsoil moisture.

Almost one-quarter of the State’s expected corn acreage was planted during the week ending May 7. Fifty-two percent of the corn crop has been planted, remaining over a week behind last year, and slightly behind the five-year average.

Northeast Iowa has the smallest percentage of corn planted at 35 percent, while central Iowa has the most planted at 65 percent. Seven percent of the corn has emerged, six days behind last year and four days behind average. Nine percent of the soybean acreage has been planted, six days behind last year and two days behind average. Planting of the state’s oat crop is nearing completion.

Oats emerged reached 61 percent, over a week behind last year, but just two days behind average. The season’s first oat condition rating came in at 0 percent very poor, 1 percent poor, 23 percent fair, 62 percent good and 14 percent excellent.

The first hay condition of the season rating was 0 percent very poor, 1 percent poor, 17 percent fair, 67 percent good and 15 percent excellent. Pasture condition rated 79 percent good to excellent, an increase of 3 percentage points from the previous week. Livestock conditions were reported as normal and feedlot conditions improved from the previous week.

Field day at Blue Gate Farm will explore benefits, affordability of two-wheel tractors CHARITON — For vegetable farmers, balancing efficiency and expenses are key aspects of being profitable. But efficiency often requires investments in equipment, labor or facilities — and those costs are sometimes too high.

Two-wheel tractors — a tool once common on small farms in the U.S., but which is now unknown to many farmers — could be an affordable solution, according to Jill Beebout of Blue Gate Farm.

“They’re a traditional tool that will look to most people like the front end of a normal garden tiller,” says Jill, who raises Certified Naturally Grown produce, laying hens, honey bees, hay and alpacas on 40 acres with her husband, Sean Skeehan. “They’re still used in Europe and were used in the United States mainly from the 1920s through the early ‘60s. They provided small farmers with a power unit that drove any number of implements.”

Jill will share her experience with this vintage farm technology at a Practical Farmers of Iowa field day she is hosting on from 2 to 5 p.m. May 21 near Chariton, 749 Wyoming St., about 14 miles north of town. The event — “Two-Wheel Tractors: Old Technology, New Inspiration” — is free to attend and marks the launch of Practical Farmers’ 2017 field day season.

On her farm, Jill says the hilly terrain and permanent-bed systems she uses make it hard to cultivate mechanically,

resulting in lots of manual labor. “The two-wheel tractor gives us the ability in small areas to have a mechanical advantage — and certainly, a speed advantage. It allows us to work much more quickly and efficiently, but at a fairly reasonable economic impact. The first unit we bought, at an auction, we bought the body and a whole handful of implements for $35. To date, we’ve spent under $300.”

During the event, Jill will share her experiences using this vintage equipment — including vintage-era push seeders and wheel hoes — for vegetable production, and she will showcase her collection of two-wheel tractors and implements.

Jeff Lauber, a nationally known antique implement expert who lives near Columbus Junction, will demonstrate and discuss the benefits and challenges of the specific models for current farm use, and will compare the antiques with newer models, where possible.

Jeff will also bring several items from his extensive collection of twowheel tractors and their implements, including different brands and sizes, for field day attendees to see and try in the field, weather permitting.

“We’re hoping, if the weather will cooperate, that people will be able to get hands-on with some of these tools — put them in the soil, see how they feel,” Jill says. “I want people who aren’t 6.5-foottall, 300-pound men to know that this is equipment that is completely sized for everyone.”

May is American Wetlands Month USDA programs provide restoration opportunities

By Jason Johnson USDA Public Affairs Specialist Prior to European settlement wetlands made up about 11 percent (or 4 million acres) of the Iowa landscape. Wetlands were not only prevalent in the Prairie Pothole region of north central Iowa, they were part of every watershed in the state. Today, however, 95 percent of Iowa wetlands have been drained.

Why Were Wetlands Drained?

A growing U.S. population, public health concerns, and economic development led to conversion of the majority of Iowa’s historic wetlands in the 20th Century.

Similar to the rich soils formed under native prairie grasslands, wetland soils, if drained, are highly productive and were quickly assimilated into Iowa’s agricultural land base.

Conversion, however, was not without risk. Even with improved drainage, on some acres, farmers were lucky to get a crop one or two out of every five years. This, when coupled with a greater understanding of the ecological function and benefits

of wetlands, led to the formulation of programs that would assist with retiring and restoring these problematic acres in the early 1990s.

Wetland Benefits Wetlands offer a diverse, healthy environment — where the flow of water, the recycling of nutrients, and the energy of the sun meet to produce a unique ecosystem.

Water loving plants and animals flourish in wetlands, standing water and saturated soils. Wetlands protect biodiversity, housing the majority of Iowa’s endangered species.

More than 10,000 invertebrate species are adapted to life in freshwater wetlands nationally.

Wetlands are valuable for people, too. They filter pollutants from upland runoff, help control flooding, and maintain populations of wildlife for recreational activities like hunting and birdwatching.

Other wetland benefits: • Water Quality Improvement — Wetlands provide natural pollution control by removing excess agricultural chemicals,

such as pesticides and fertilizers, from surface waters.

• Water Supply — Wetlands are reservoirs for rainwater and runoff. They reduce peak water flow after heavy storms, and recharge groundwater supplies as they release water into the ground.

• Wildlife Habitat — Waterfowl, birds and other wildlife depend on wetland habitat for breeding, nesting, and feeding.

• Sediment Delivery Reduction — Wetlands filter and collect sediment from runoff water, helping to reduce sedimentation in lakes and reservoirs.

• Farm Economics — Farming frequently flooded and saturated, or poorly drained areas, can be expensive. The best economic choice may be to set aside a wet area as a wetland.

Options for Restoring or Constructing Wetlands Today, landowners have a variety of USDA programs at their disposal to assist with wetland restoration — from short-term contracts through the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) to permanent easements through the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP).

Norwalk hands Cardinal girls a loss

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Getting a touch on the ball in the middle of the field is Newton High junior Zach Combs (11) with Norwalk’s Reid Kallenbach (15) right on his hip during Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference game at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium. The visiting top-ranked Warriors beat the Cardinals, 5-0.

No. 1 Warriors blank Cardinals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Using a new formation to try to make it harder for the Class 2A top-ranked Norwalk Warriors to attack the goal, Newton High’s Cardinals came up short.

The Cardinals were pushing to be the first Little Hawkeye Conference team to score on the Warriors this season.

“We didn’t crash on the goal when

we had several opportunities against them tonight. We gave them those three goals in a row, which we were working not to allow them to get easy goals,” Newton head coach Zach Jensen said following a 5-0 loss Tuesday night.

“Our goal as a team is to make opponents work for goals. Those first three were not difficult for them to score on us, which was disappointing.”

Norwalk (12-3) recorded its seventh shutout in LHC play this season. The Warriors are 7-0 in conference play while the Cardinals are 2-3. Newton has only been shutout twice this season.

Jensen said the Cardinals had several scoring opportunities in the first half and a couple more in the second

Vandemore and Hemann lost their opening-round match, 6-2, 6-3, to Norwalk’s Andrew ClarkWilt and A.J. ClarkWilt. In the fifth-place match, the Cardinal duo lost a third-set tiebreaker as Oskaloosa’s Cade Snakenberg and Colton Stout won 3-6, 7-5 (10-4).

Sophomore Brady Eberline played as Newton’s No. 1 singles player at the conference tournament. He lost 6-2, 6-0 to Grinnell’s Nick Jacobsen then lost the fifth-place match to Nick Harrington. Harrington rallied to win 1-6, 7-6 (10-3).

Also taking sixth was Newton’s No. 2 doubles team of juniors Grant Hamand and Devon VanBrogen. They lost 6-0, 6-1 to Grinnell’s Alex Farmer and Kevin Werner to open the tournament then dropped a 6-4, 6-4 decision to Oskaloosa’s Nick Reiter and Sam Carmichael in the fifth-place match.

St. Louis beats Miami MIAMI (AP) — Still out of the starting lineup, Dexter Fowler helped the St. Louis Cardinals to a big finish.

Fowler singled home the tiebreaking run as a pinch hitter with one out in the ninth inning, and the Cardinals rallied from a late four-run deficit for their fifth consecutive victory by beating the Miami Marlins 6-5 Tuesday.

The game was tied when rookie sensation Magneuris Sierra reached on an infield single with one out in the ninth, and he continued to second on an errant throw to first by A.J. Ramos (1-2).

Fowler followed with a sharp single to right field , and the speedy Sierra slid home ahead of Giancarlo Stanton’s throw.

Fowler was held out of the starting lineup for the fifth game in a row because of a lat injury.

“The boys are out there grinding,” he said.

“Obviously I’ve been on the shelf, but I’ll take being out there to contribute anyway I can.”

The game-winning RBI was Fowler’s third this year.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Logan Heisdorffer (18) gets to the ball first against Norwalk’s Jack Riordan (6) in Tuesday’s junior varsity game at Newton. Newton’s JV-A team won 2-1.

half. He said the Cardinals knew it was going to be a tough game going up against the Warriors, who have allowed only five goals in 15 games this season.

“At the end of the first half, we played better and in the second half we played better,” Jensen said.

“We move forward from this. We have four games remaining in the regular season.”

Norwalk senior Jack Palen led a three-goal attack by the Warriors in an eight-minute span. He scored his first goal with 34:34 left in the first half and struck again at the 30-minute mark. Senior Reid Kallenbach added another goal to put Norwalk up 3-0 at the 26:20 left.

The Cardinals stemmed the tide a bit and kept the Warriors at bay for the next 20 minutes. Kyle McGuire, another senior, headed in a Warrior goal at the 5:41 mark of the first half. Nor-

walk led 4-0 at halftime.

Palen recorded a hat trick — three goals in a game — for the Warriors.

His third goal came with 15:53 remaining in the second half.

Newton senior goalkeeper Reagan Maple was credited with four saves.

Newton had four corner kick opportunities and nine free kicks.

Newton’s JV-A team won 2-1 Tuesday. Taylor Greiner scored a goal in the first half to tie the game then Preston Sherwood found the net for the game-winner in the second half. Norwalk beat Newton’s JV-B team, 1-0.

Newton (8-5) plays a non-conference game at 7 p.m. Thursday against Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustangs in Monroe. They have a LHC game against Pella at 12:30 p.m. Saturday in Pella.

The Cardinals are waiting for the release of 2A substate pairings later this week.

Moustakas homers in 12th, Royals beat Rays, 7-6 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Mike Moustakas homered in the 12th inning, and the Kansas City Royals came back from a four-run deficit to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-6 on Tuesday night.

Moustakas connected against Diego Moreno (0-1), the eighth Tampa Bay pitcher, on a 1-2 pitch with one out. More-

no was promoted from Triple-A Durham before the game.

Kansas City right-hander Jakob Junis (10), recalled from Triple-A Omaha, worked out of a two-on, one-out jam in the 11th. Kelvin Herrera got three outs for his fifth save.

Salvador Perez hit a two-run homer for the Royals. The All-Star catcher went 3

Lackey strikes out 10, Cubs split DH with Rockies DENVER (AP) — John Lackey’s breaking ball had some ferocious bite to it. That never seems to happen for him at Coors Field.

For once, this park wasn’t unfriendly to him.

Lackey struck out 10 over seven scoreless innings and added an RBI single , helping the Chicago Cubs stop a four-game skid by beating the Colorado Rockies 8-1 on Tuesday for a day-night doubleheader split.

Chicago gave Lackey plenty of cushion with a five-run second inning. Javier Baez added a two-run homer in the eighth and Kris Bryant a solo shot in the ninth.

Lackey (3-3) allowed just four singles, a sharp contrast to his previous start at Coors, when he surrendered 10 runs on June 8, 2015.

“Most of the time, I’ve taken a couple of beatings in this place,” Lackey said. “That’s the first time I’ve done good here.”

Lackey became the second visiting pitcher to throw seven or more shutout innings with 10 or more strikeouts at Coors, according to the Rockies. The other was Pedro Martinez on July 29, 1997, when he went nine innings and struck out 13.

“It was really fun to watch,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “He had a really, really good breaking ball, slider, today, and commanded everything. ... He had himself a pretty good evening.”

In the first game, the Rockies cruised past Jake Arrieta in a 10-4 win .

Kyle Freeland (3-2) had one bad stretch in the nightcap. He allowed five runs, three earned, and four hits — all in a second inning that was compounded by two errors.

The rookie left-hander finished with four walks and six strikeouts over six innings.

“There’s definitely positives about this outing and the way I bounced back af-

ter that second inning to eat up more innings to give our bullpen rest and not really tax them,” Freeland said. “It showed I could get back in the zone and get outs.”

The Cubs figure to sleep well after another exhausting night.

They arrived in Denver early Monday after an 18-inning loss to the New York Yankees that lasted 6 hours, 5 minutes.

A rainout Monday gave them a brief break, but meant playing two on Tuesday.

“We’re running on fumes a bit,” Maddon said. “I’m proud of our guys. But starting pitching drives the engine — don’t ever be deceived.”

Jeimer Candelario was called up from Triple-A Iowa to serve as the 26th player for the second game. He ignited the second by starting the inning off with a sharp single. In all, the Cubs sent 11 batters to the plate and took advantage of errors by shortstop Trevor Story and second baseman DJ LeMahieu.

Freeland didn’t help his cause by walking three, including Candelario with two outs and the bases loaded.

Candelario also made a nifty backhanded play at third in the fourth to prevent a run.

He’s definitely caught the attention of Maddon, especially his .340 average with Iowa.

“He’s tearing up Triple-A. That’s what you have to do to be a big leaguer,” Maddon said. “He just needs to keep doing what he’s doing.”

Game One Highlights Ryan Hanigan had twoout, bases-clearing bloop single off Arrieta as part of a six-run third inning in the opener. Hard-throwing rookie Antonio Senzatela (5-1) wrestled with his command over six innings but wiggled out of several tough spots.

“There’s some resiliency where he hung in there and got through it when he’s probably not pitching how we’ve seen him overall,” Black said.

for 4 and walked twice. He has six homers and 23 RBIs in his last 24 games against Tampa Bay. Logan Morrison went deep during Tampa Bay’s four-run first.

Perez hit a leadoff double in the eighth and scored on Alex Gordon’s single to tie it at 6.
