Regulations established for fireworks sales

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News While the use of fireworks is still up for debate, city council did finalize regulations for the sale of the products in the Newton.

The second and third readings were waived and council adopted an ordinance on Monday addressing locations, signage, parking and site planning requirements for fireworks sales and warehousing in the city.

Recently, the state of Iowa passed and the governor signed legislation approving Muckler the sale and use of fireworks in Iowa starting June 1. With the adoption of the ordinance on Monday, the city will have established code for those looking to sell the product in Newton.

The zoning code stipulates within which zones fireworks can be sold and/or warehoused, limits the amount of on-site storage of fireworks related to a sales facility and provides some additional locational requirements. Fireworks sales will be allowed in the C-A Arterial Commercial, I-L Light Industrial and I-H Heavy Industrial districts with conditional use in the C-T Tourism Oriented Commercial district. The product may be warehoused in the I-L and I-H districts.

Fireworks, either for sale or warehousing, will not be allowed within the residential zones, agricultural zone, neighborhood commercial zone, office commercial zone, central business district zone and restricted light industrial zone.

Additional requirements include requiring fireworks sales or warehousing to be at least 750 feet away from the next fireworks related business, fireworks businesses must be at least 150 feet away from a residential dwelling and 150 feet away from a fuel source. Documentation of a site plan will need to show distances from those areas if applicable.

For temporary structures, the code says it must occupy a space larger than two parking spaces, is erected for more than 20 days and does not impact parking or vehicle circulation patterns. The basic site plan requires topography, grading or drainage plans but does not require an engineer. It also requires providing enough on-site parking for their use and if a temporary use is co-locating with another permanent use structure, then parking calculations, per the zoning ordinance, for both uses, is required.

301 Studios to debut at Newton Fest

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News A local recording studio is breaking ground this year and is set to perform during Newton Fest next month alongside several local musicians.

301 Studios was created by two Newton natives Brandon Cook and Nick Maggard with the intention to offer a local studio for musicians and to those who want to professionally record audio at an affordable price.

Cook and Maggard are passionate about music and have their own talents they bring to the business. Cook, the property manager, said he has always enjoyed performing rap and inspirational music for at least five

years and has recorded songs himself. Maggard, the producer and engineer, has as background in performing and more than three years experience in recording and mastering.

“It was always in the back of my mind as an idea for a business and then I found out how skilled Nick is,” Cook said. “We were really getting to know each other STUDIO | 3A

The school district will provide free shuttle services from the high school to the ceremony and back.

Those planning to use the shuttle service should park in the front high school lot and load by the flag pole.

The shuttle service will begin at 1:45 p.m. and continue until the beginning of the ceremony. Buses will return to the high school parking lots immediately following the ceremony. A bus equipped for physically disabled persons will be available for those needing it.

People having proper passes for their vehicles should display them to gain admittance to the park after 1 p.m. An announcement will be made Sunday morning on KCOB if the weather is in doubt.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | May 17, 2017

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Wednesday, May 17, the 137th day of 2017. There are 228 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 17, 1792, the New York Stock Exchange had its beginnings as a group of brokers met under a tree on Wall Street and signed the Buttonwood Agreement.

On this date: In 1875, the first Kentucky Derby was run; the winner was Aristides, ridden by Oliver Lewis.

In 1940, the Nazis occupied Brussels, Belgium, during World War II. In 1954, a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court handed down its Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka decision which held that racially segregated public schools were inherently unequal, and therefore unconstitutional.

In 1957, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his first national speech, titled “Give Us the Ballot,” during the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom in Washington, D.C. In 1961, Cuban leader Fidel Castro offered to release prisoners captured in the Bay of Pigs invasion in exchange for 500 bulldozers. (The prisoners were eventually freed in exchange for medical supplies.)

In 1973, a special committee convened by the U.S. Senate began its televised hearings into the Watergate scandal.

In 1977, the Chuck E. Cheese’s fast food and family entertainment chain had its start as the first Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza Time Theatre opened in San Jose, Calif.

In 1987, 37 American sailors were killed when an Iraqi warplane attacked the U.S. Navy frigate Stark in the Persian Gulf.

(Iraq apologized for the attack, calling it a mistake, and paid more than $27 million in compensation.)

In 2004, Massachusetts became the first state to allow legal same-sex marriages.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush and retiring British Prime Minister Tony Blair held a joint news conference at the White House, during which Blair allowed not a single regret about the Iraq war alliance. World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz announced he would resign at the end of June 2007, following controversy over his handling of a pay package for his girlfriend, bank employee Shaha Riza.

Trains crossed the border dividing the two Koreas for the first time in more than half a century.

Five years ago: Washington’s envoy to Israel, Dan Shapiro, told the Israel Bar Association the U.S. had plans in place to attack Iran if necessary to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons. Donna Summer, 63, the “Queen of Disco,” died in Naples, Florida. Frank Edward “Ed” Ray, the California school bus driver hailed as a hero for helping 26 students escape after three kidnappers buried them underground in 1976, died at age 91.

One year ago: Bernie Sanders won Oregon’s Democratic presidential primary while Hillary Clinton eked out a razor-thin victory in Kentucky. Federal investigators concluded that a speeding Amtrak train that crashed in Philadelphia in May 2015, killing eight people, most likely ran off the rails because the engineer was distracted by word of a nearby commuter train getting hit by a rock. One of the Chibok girls kidnapped by Boko Haram extremists from a Nigerian boarding school in April 2014 was found with a baby and was reunited with her mother. Guy Clark, the Grammy-winning musician who mentored a generation of songwriters, died in Nashville at age 74.

Bartender wins lottery, says he’ll care for family NEW YORK (AP) — Maybe the next round is on him: A New York City bartender who hit a $7 million lottery says he has “no clue” what he’ll do with his winnings.

The New York Lottery said Tuesday that Michael Moriarty gets to keep around $4 million after required withholdings.

The 56-year-old says he’ll take care of his family and then consider any leftover funds.

Moriarty popped into a gift ship and bought the Cash Blowout scratch-off ticket after dropping off his laundry. That made him two minutes late meeting his daughter.

2. WHO IS SLATED FOR EARLY RELEASE Pvt. Chelsea Manning, the transgender soldier convicted of giving classified government materials to WikiLeaks, is set to be freed from a Kansas military prison after seven years.

3. US, EUROPE TO DISCUSS LAPTOP BAN The move would create logistical chaos for millions on the world’s busiest corridor of air travel, many of them business travelers who

rely on their electronics to work during the flight.

4. IRANIANS TELL AP WHAT VOTE MEANS TO THEM The upcoming presidential election is largely seen as a referendum on the Islamic Republic’s sputtering economy and the nuclear deal with world powers.

5. SEND OUT THE CLOWNS Performers for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus allow AP extensive access to one traveling unit, witnessing the last circus baptism and their final times goofing around on “Clown Alley.”

Entertainment

The last days of the Ringling Bros. circus PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — An elephant stretches its trunk through a window to soothe a sick child. A woman gives birth and three months later is back performing on the high wire. A handler of big cats weeps as the beasts lope out of the ring for the last time.

These stories could come only from circus performers, and in particular one famous circus, the one immortalized as “The Greatest Show on Earth”: the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, which is hanging its hat for the last time this weekend.

While the show goes on in other circuses around the world, Ringling is special. The size, the spectacle and the history — stretching back to P.T. Barnum and his traveling museum in the 1800s — set it apart.

One of Ringling’s two traveling circuses is scheduled to perform its final show Sunday in New York. The other closed this month, in Providence, Rhode Island, and with it, the end to a way of life few others have experienced.

The Associated Press was allowed to observe it extensively.

Ringling is the last circus anywhere to travel by train, and while living on

For the performers who travel with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, its demise means the end of a unique way of life for hundreds of performers and crew members.

a train can be tough, the accommodations are considered a benefit that other circuses don’t offer. Perks include the “Pie Car,” the mile-long train’s dining operation, as well as a circus nursery and school for the many children whose parents make the circus what it is.

Some observations from the home the performers leave behind, from the unit’s last circus baptism, their final times goofing around on “Clown Alley,” and other moments the world will never see again:

Tivoli Fest 2017

THE BOSS CLOWN One of Sandor Eke’s earliest memories is of an elephant comforting him, stretching its trunk through his trailer window, while he lay recovering from illness.

Eke’s Hungarian parents were performing at a circus in Sweden, and Eke was just a toddler. A few years later, he’d be a circus performer himself, and aspiring to come to America to join Ringling.

He got his wish 20 years ago, as an acrobat. Five years later, his colleagues told him he was funny and

would make a good clown.

Now, at age 41, he’s the Boss Clown, leader of the clowns on the unit. He’s also dad to 2-year-old Michael, and they are enjoying the waning days here together.

“You have your own zoo.

You can pet an elephant; you can play with the baby tigers,” Eke says. “You have your own clowns. Everybody loves you. A circus is a very big family.”

Someday, he plans to teach his son juggling and other circus skills.

Even so, Eke knows Michael may never join the circus.

Eke’s wife, a former circus aerialist, has already established their new home in Las Vegas. When the circus closes, Eke hopes to get a job as a “flair” bartender there, doing tricks like juggling bottles.

He wonders how life will change.

“My normal life is this.

My normal life is going on the train, going every week to a different city,” Eke says.

“It’s crazy how much I love circus.”

Knowing it’s coming to an end has been difficult for his fellow performers and crew, and Eke been spending his time trying to make his circus family laugh.

The Planning and Zoning Commission also established that fireworks related business are not allowed as home occupations.

“I appreciate the Planning and Zoning Commission going through this. I know they have had several meetings that this is kind of a crunch time and the information that was given to us was, I thought, very direct and really established very clear guidelines for the sale of fireworks within our community,” councilwoman Miranda Kulis said.

Council also approved a resolution implementing inspection fees for sites selling fireworks. The city has chosen to inspect the buildings or structures selling the products, in lieu of having the State Fire Marshal’s office conducting the inspections.

The fee schedule for areas where fireworks are sold are $100 for permanent structures and $200 for temporary or non-brick or mortar buildings.

Re-inspection costs go as follows: no charge for the first re-inspection, $50 for the second re-inspection, $100 for the third re-inspection and $250 for the fourth re-inspection.

“This will allow for our fire department to be more involved in the safety related perspective,” city administrator Matt Muckler said. “The state will collect any permit fees and will allow the fire department to charge for inspection.”

and then one day he flipped up his laptop and showed me some of the things he was working on, and I thought this kid’s a genius.”

For Maggard, guitar and music were things he was encouraged to pursue by his father.

“My dad got me into guitar and now it has let me spread out into other instruments like the violin and the piano,” Maggard said. “I also have been in two metal bands throughout the years.”

The studio is located in a room of Cook’s home and offers topnotch recording equipment, according to Cook.

“We knew we would see the fruits of our labor in no time,” Cook said.

Maggard said they wanted to see if there was the potential in Newton to have artists come in, which has happened with people taking interest in recording and recording albums, like local rapper, Pillage.

“We’ve been able to have that happen and

that was a great starting point for us to be able to produce an album and that really opened our eyes to show that this town really has potential,” Maggard said. “If this town can have one person step up and want to make music like that and be willing to put in that time and effort it will influence other people.”

The duo prides themselves in affordable recording services unlike typical studios, according to Cook.

Delta Dental of Iowa giving back Delta Dental of Iowa is talking the talk, walking the walk and delivering smiles when it comes to giving back and improving the health of Iowans.

The nonprofit health care company contributed more than $2.5 million throughout Iowa in 2016 through the Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation, Public Benefit Program and the company’s philanthropic giving. In addition, Delta Dental employees engage in volunteer opportunities throughout the year, like the new effort with Variety — the Children’s Charity of Iowa in 2017 to build bikes for kids.

Improving Oral and Overall Health Delta Dental supports programs that promote oral health, which leads to better overall health for underserved Iowans.

In 2016, the Foundation and Public Benefit Program contributed to oral health education programs for children and aging

Iowans, loan repayment programs for dentists in rural areas, supported community water fluoridation and increased access to dental care for underserved Iowans. Delta Dental’s annual giving reached every county in the State of Iowa.

Giving Back Not only does Delta Dental give back through its Foundation and Public Benefit Program, the company participates in several philanthropic programs and events. Employees also get involved by giving and volunteering for organizations such as Komen Iowa Race for the Cure, United Way of Central Iowa and Iowa Mission of Mercy.

“One of Delta Dental’s core values is improving lives,” said Jeff Russell, president and CEO of Delta Dental of Iowa. “Our employees are an integral part of our giving culture. As a not-forprofit, we recognize the impor-

tance of giving back to our communities and I am proud that each year we are able to have 100 percent of our employees participate in a volunteer project.”

In 2017, Delta Dental and Variety — the Children’s Charity of Iowa have partnered to support the Kids on the Go! program. Delta Dental has provided $5,000 to Variety and employees will provide items to be donated and assemble bikes for Kids on the Go. “Kids on the Go! would not be possible without the support from generous donations and partners like Delta Dental of Iowa,” said Sheri McMichael, executive director, Variety - the Children’s Charity of Iowa. “This program will be meaningful and memorable to the employees and to the kids, most of whom have never had their own bike before.”

“When I would go to a studio in Cleveland and record, the second you walk through that door they are charging you,” Cook said. “Sometimes my bill for just one song would end up being $500 to $700.”

Maggard said 301 Studios is working to have the lowest price for recording in Central Iowa by offering an hour of recording for $35 and there are no charges for the mixing and mastering.

The community will

get the chance to see Cook and Maggard perform at Newton Fest June 10 where 301 Studios will be using their equipment and feature Misgivings, Nate Butler and World Gone Mad. 301 Studios also plans to host more Grill Out and Chill Out events this summer at Woodland Park to bring the community together while getting their name out.

Spring fishing in full swing across Iowa Crappies and bluegills are biting in small ponds and lakes across Iowa.

Spring panfish fishing is a great opportunity to introduce beginners of all ages to fishing. Catching panfish is easy and fun.

“Late May and early June is a great time to take kids fishing,” said Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Bureau. “Many species are close to shore, willing to bite and do not spook as easily.”

Fish close to structure, like rocks or a pile of brush or gravel to find bluegills or crappies. Bass will be around brush or boat docks or rock piles.

Quickly find fish structure locations with the online fishing atlas or download structure location maps

from the DNR’s Where to Fish website.

“Keep your hooks, bobbers and bait small because panfish have small mouths,” Larscheid said.

“Use as light of tackle as you can. Four pound line, a bobber the size of a quarter and a size 8 hook work well.

“Think of the special memories you had fishing as a kid, and share this great tradition with your kids and grandkids,” Larscheid said.

Bring along snacks, take lots of photos and celebrate each fish as if it were a record breaker.

Enjoy Iowa’s outdoors and spend some time fishing this spring. Find tips for catching crappie, bluegills and yellow bass on the DNR website at www.iowadnr.gov/fishing.

Bonnaroo rocks I

Looking up at the stars Justin Jagler

n less than a month, tens of thousands of my best friends will convene on a farm in the middle of Tennessee to enjoy music, art, food and endless good vibes.

They will be celebrating Bonnaroo — perhaps the most wonderful four days of the summer.

Roo started in 2002 as a jam-band music festival and has since evolved into a massive production that features every type of music under the sun. Attendance some years numbers more than 80,000.

My first Roo experience in 2012 was transformative. My friend Tommy and I threw a tent and couple guitars in the back of my rusted-out 1994 Jeep Cherokee and headed for the prom-

ised land. Roo delivered beyond our imaginations.

During the evening of our first night, we set up camp with our neighbors and soon-to-be-friends. Our neighbors were from Chicago (not far from our hometown, Milwaukee) and together we formed what would be known that weekend as the “Wolfpack.”

We got there a night early and before the music officially started.

That didn’t stop the tunes from flowing, though. With my trusty guitar, I walked through the campgrounds singing Bob Dylan songs. At one time, the Wolfpack was joined by a swarm of people to sing “The Times They Are a-Changin.’”

As soon as the sun rose the next morning, we were forced outside of the tent by extreme heat. There’s no “sleeping in” at Roo. Then the music festival formally started. To use the parlance of the times — it was dope.

When we weren’t hiding under trees to recharge in the shade, we were watching concert after concert. The quantity and quality of music at Roo in 2012 was amazing. One of my alltime favorite bands — the Red Hot Chili Peppers — were one of the headliners. Pure bliss.

Who’s headlining in 2017? The Red Hot Chili Peppers, of course.

Unfortunately, I won’t be at Roo this year. It just wasn’t in the cards.

Since my maiden voyage, the only other year I missed the festival was 2013 (regrettably the year Paul McCartney headlined). And while the quality of Roo’s lineups has declined the last couple years, the farm’s magic is alive

and well.

I know it sounds super corny, but there is something in the air at Roo that fills attendees with joy. The exchanges of high fives, the sing alongs, the Spicy Pie, the unforgettable late nights and the charming Southern drawl of a cute Bonnaroo girl … these things changed me forever.

Have you ever sang “Tiny Dancer” with Elton John and 80,000 other smiling, sweaty hippies in a wide open field? I highly recommend it.

Many of my friends are making the trek again this year, and a part of me is a little jealous. But it’s all good. I’ll be with them in spirit, and I’ll probably return to the farm some day.

As for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I will see them next week when they take over the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. Life is beautiful.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Chicks and book

Two big pieces of news on the Empty Nest Farm.

First item: we have baby chicks. Yep. When I was a kid growing up, we always had chickens, a calf and a pig, and I wanted to repeat that experience.

There’s nothing quite like your own meat and eggs — although, at the time, I detested chores and shoveling manure. My, my, how things change.

We ordered the chicks through our local feed store — 12 layers and 12 fryers — 12 by 12. The layers are ISA Brown hens and the fryers are Cornish Cross Broiler roosters. Ginnie is terrified on two fronts: one, getting her hand pecked when gathering eggs and, two, butchering the fryers.

She’s a city girl. I explained that I will handle everything. Then I told her that next year we’re getting a bucket calf. She’s wondering if it was such a smart idea marrying me, like maybe life in the city wasn’t so bad after all.

For a chicken house, I cleaned out the shed beside the pole barn, picked up bedding and supplies, like a heat lamp, waterers and feeders, and we were set.

On the day the chicks arrived, Ginnie was at work. I took a picture of them in their shipping carton and texted it to Ginnie. She showed it to her coworkers like they were our babies. Which they were — one day old, and sooo cute. However, the coworkers filled her with horror stories of raising chickens and butchering, and Ginnie soaked it all in.

The great debate started as to whether or not you need a rooster with laying hens. (You don’t.)

Then, the best method for lopping off a head was discussed thoroughly. There’s the catch-twistand-snap method, the ax-on-the-tree-stump procedure or the hang’m-up-by-the-feet decapitation.

I prefer to hang’m up by the feet.

I turned the chicks loose in their little corral I had built, and they started eating and drinking immediately. When Ginnie came home from work, she drove straight to the chicken house and fell in love. The littlest chick is her favorite.

Buddy is real curious about the baby chicks, too.

We now look for excuses to walk out and see how the baby chicks are doing. It’s the best therapy ever. There’s nothing quite as calming as watching livestock eat and drink.

The Empty Nest isn’t so empty anymore.

The second piece of news is I have written a book, called “Protected.” My first reading and book signing is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday at the Ft. Madison Area Art Association, 825 Ave. G in Ft. Madison. Books will be available there, I will do some reading, then sign books for all who want.

I’ll warn you, this is not a book of my Empty Nest articles. That would have been way too easy. In fact, this book is not in the style of my Empty Nest articles whatsoever. This is my life work. Writing this book is why, I feel, I was placed on this planet.

It is the true story of how God has led and directed me all my life, how He has opened doors and cleared the path. The stories are sometimes funny and subtle, sometimes tragic, and sometimes brutal and crude. But it is my story.

My purpose for writing this book is to prove the existence of God. Period. I have seen God. Don’t ever believe that God, or Jesus Christ, doesn’t exist or does not present Himself to us today. His presence is all around us. We just have to have eyes to see. I am not trying to convert anyone to a particular religion. I am stating what has happened to me, personally, then leaving it up to you, the reader to decide. If I can bring one person, through my writing, to believe in a Higher Power, then my book is a success.

Hope to see you there.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

If Washington won’t rein in corporate greed, your state might Josh Elliott is fed up with overpaid CEOs. As the owner of a Connecticut natural foods market with 40 employees, he says he could never justify pocketing hundreds of times more pay than his employees.

“I’m very much a capitalist,” Elliott told me in an interview.

“But there need to be limits.”

Skyrocketing CEO pay and inequality last year motivated this 32-year-old businessman to launch a successful bid for a seat in the Connecticut General Assembly. Elliott hit back hard on the campaign trail against rightwing claims about high taxes driving wealthy job creators out of his state.

“This is not an issue of over-taxation — it’s an issue of taxing the wrong people and the wrong entities,” he told the New Haven Register. “When the middle class has to subsidize huge corporations like Wal-Mart that criminally underpay their workers, the narrative that we are overtaxed ought to be outed as ludicrous.”

Since taking office, Rep. Elliott has co-sponsored several bills aimed at narrowing our economic divide, including two that directly address the CEO pay problem.

One of these bills mirrors a Portland, Oregon law enacted last December that imposes a tax penalty on publicly traded corporations with CEOs making

Another View Sarah Anderson more than 100 times their typical worker pay.

These laws don’t set a ceiling on how much corporations can pay their executives. But they do provide an incentive to rein in excess CEO pay and lift up workers at the bottom end. They can also generate significant revenue for urgent needs like funding pre-school programs or fixing roads and bridges.

Legislators in Illinois, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and San Francisco are also considering CEO pay tax proposals.

Elliott’s other bill would use the power of the public purse to reduce pay disparities. If enacted, companies with CEO-worker pay ratios of more than 100 to 1 wouldn’t qualify for state subsidies and grants.

That would help ensure taxpayer dollars are used wisely. Research has shown that narrower pay gaps make businesses more effective by boosting employee morale and reducing turnover rates.

Elliott pointed out that he’s able to go to the state capital in Hartford four times a week when the General Assembly is in session because he trusts his man-

agers to do a good job running the market in his absence. “You need to have good employees to make money,” he told me.

While efforts to narrow CEO-worker pay gaps are spreading around the country, Republicans in Washington are working to undercut them.

How? By killing a federal disclosure law requiring corporations to report the gap between their CEO and median worker pay. This data, scheduled to become available in early 2018, would make the kinds of policies Elliott is promoting much easier to administer.

But overpaid CEOs — and their lobbyists — want to throw up as many obstacles as they can.

The massive Financial CHOICE Act, which just passed a House committee, would eliminate the pay ratio disclosure regulation, along with loosening other regulations on big Wall Street banks.

It could come up for a full House vote soon.

But as the debate shifts, Elliott is confident that bold proposals for change will eventually gain traction.

“The conservative narrative is that business owners are the job creators,” he told me. “But if the CEOs and owners of capital have unlimited potential for their own compensation, they’re just taking money away from their employees. And that’s a system that is simply unsustainable.”

Classic meatloaf is comfort food that warms generations DEAR ABBY: My stepmother had a recipe for meatloaf that she found in your column years ago. She made it for us often when we visited and we all loved it. However, we have been unable to locate that recipe anywhere and don’t remember how to make it. Could you reprint the recipe for me? We’ve been trying others, but yours is the best. — JENNA IN JACKSONVILLE, FLA. DEAR JENNA: I’m pleased to share that recipe once again. I have made it and we love it, too. Now that you have mentioned it, when I go to the market later, I’ll pick up the ingredients and make it for dinner tonight. The leftovers make wonderful sandwiches!

This recipe is part of my cookbooklet set, which has recipes for appetizers, soups, salads, vegetable side dishes, main courses and delicious desserts.

The set can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby — Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 610540447. By the way, the cookbooklet set also contains a tasty recipe for turkey meatloaf for those who have sworn off red meat, which clearly I haven’t.

MEATLOAF 2 lbs. ground beef 1 cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1/3 cup ketchup 1/3 cup water 1 teaspoon garlic powder 2 eggs Pepper to taste Salt, if desired 4 strips bacon, if desired Heat oven to 350 F. In large bowl, combine all ingredients except bacon. Shape into a loaf; place in 9-by-5-inch pan. Arrange bacon strips on top of meat mixture, if desired. Bake for 60 minutes. Serves 6 to 8.

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Brian” for five months. We are very compatible and have discussed spending the rest of our lives together. He is

54; I am 59.

The deal breaker for me is his “daughter” (“Allison”), who is actually the daughter of a friend of his. Allison and Brian’s two grown sons grew up together. She’s 24.

Allison no longer hangs out, talks with or visits Brian’s sons, but she is close to Brian. She has no girlfriends, no male friends and she’s estranged from her parents. Brian helps her with school projects, they go to lunch, walk on the beach, text/talk on the phone, go on bike rides, go hiking, etc. He tells me he’s a father figure to her.

I have met Allison and I think her behavior is a little too flirtatious for a daughter/father relationship. She also made a couple of inappropriate comments to me during our first meeting.

When I mention to Brian that I don’t think it’s a healthy “friendship,” he becomes defensive. Should I bow out now and cut my losses, get to know Allison better, or tell Brian it’s me or her?

— THIRD WHEEL OUT WEST DEAR THIRD WHEEL: Brian seems like a nice, caring person. You have known him for only five months. I vote for standing pat a while longer and making an effort to befriend Allison. If she’s truly as alone as you describe, she could use an older, more-experienced woman in her life. You might even find you like her rather than feel threatened by her. However, if that’s not feasible, you can always cut your losses and run, but not right now.

Three more center workers fired or resigned over abuse GLENWOOD — Three more workers at Iowa institutions for people with severe intellectual disabilities have been fired or resigned over allegations of resident abuse.

State officials confirmed the actions this week in a report Tuesday that two workers were recently fired from the Glenwood Resource Center and a Woodward Resource Center worker resigned after being suspended. The ouster comes in the wake of 13 resignations or firings at the Glenwood institution late last year.

Police ID teen found dead in Perry home PERRY— Police have identified a teen found dead in a central Iowa home.

Perry police say 16-year-old Sabrina Ray was found in the home Friday evening. Officials have not released autopsy results showing her cause of death.

The Iowa Department of Human Services says the death is being investigated as a child abuse case. The girl was adopted and found in the home of Misty and Marc Ray, who ran a child day care out of the home.

for sex with 2 students

IDA GROVE — A former substitute teacher and coach has been given 10 years in prison for having sexual relationships with students at two northwest Iowa high schools. Online court records say 33-year-old John Tietsort, of Battle Creek, was sentenced Monday. He’d pleaded guilty in Ida County District Court to two counts of sexual exploitation by a school employee.

Rogelio Morales, 29, of Hubbard, Neb., has been ordered to stand trial on June 6 in Woodbury County District Court. The case has been delayed several times as defense attorneys have repeatedly withdrawn from representing Morales.

Morales has pleaded not guilty to killing 21-year-old Margarita Morales on April 19, 2015, in his car near a Sioux City residence.

5 Thunderstorms cause home damage, power outages

COUNCIL BLUFFS — Powerful thunderstorms that blew through much of Iowa damaged homes and other buildings and knocked down trees, limbs and power poles, leaving thousands of people without power.

—The Associated Press

Party chairman, anti-abortion Democratic group plan to meet DES MOINES (AP) — Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez plans to meet with an anti-abortion Democratic group amid divisions within the party over whether to back candidates opposed to abortion, according to the group.

DNC officials say there’s no meeting confirmed yet.

Democrats for Life Executive Director Kristen Day said Tuesday the DNC and her group were in talks about scheduling a session with Perez, who proclaimed last month it is “not negotiable” that “every Democrat, like every American, should support a woman’s right to make her own choices about her body and her health.”

DNC officials said Tuesday that Democrats for Life wants an assembly that would include Perez and Democratic lawmakers.

Talks are ongoing but nothing is scheduled, the party officials

said, and they pointed again to Perez’s April statement making clear the party’s support for abortion rights.

That initial declaration drew sharp criticism from anti-abortion Democrats. Like Day, they argued that Democrats need to open their doors to different viewpoints on the sensitive issue, given the party’s shrinking national profile.

“I think he thinks it was a mistake to put out that statement,” Day said. “I’m encouraged we’re meeting and we’re going to have this discussion. I think it’s important.”

Democrats for Life first requested a meeting with Perez before the Democratic National Committee announced last month it would hold a rally in Omaha, Neb., for mayoral candidate Heath Mello, a former state senator who supported abortion restrictions.

News of the rally sparked outcry from National Abortion Rights Action League President Ilyse Hogue, who called support for Mello “politically stupid.”

Perez quickly backtracked, pledging that if anti-abortion Democrats “try to legislate or govern that way, we will take them on.”

Meanwhile, independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders went on to headline the April rally in Omaha, urging Democrats to support Mello. He lost the mayoral race on May 9.

Anti-abortion Democrats have almost disappeared in Congress. Only three senators fit the description, and all three — Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, Joe Donnelly of Indiana and Joe Manchin of West Virginia — are up for re-election next year in states President Donald Trump won in 2016.

Reporter faces sanctions over ‘Bachelor’court video IOWA CITY (AP) — A reporter is facing the threat of jail time after allegedly violating a judge’s order not to take video of “The Bachelor” star Chris Soules appearing in court in his hit-and-run case.

Prosecutors are pursuing contempt of court proceedings against KWWL’s Elizabeth Amanieh, a reporter for the NBC affiliate in Waterloo, in what could be the first such case against an Iowa journalist in decades. If convicted, she could be punished with a $500 fine and up to 180 days in jail.

Amanieh, 22, obtained exclusive video of Soules’ April 25 initial appearance after he was jailed for his role in the accident that killed 66-year-old Kenneth Mosher. Police say Soules rear-ended Mosher’s tractor and left the scene after calling 911. Soules has pleaded not guilty to the felony, which has prompted intense public interest given his status as a local celebrity.

Iowa court rules allow jour-

nalists to take video, audio and photographs of hearings as long as they have prior approval. Prosecutors contend that Judge Linda Fangman told Amanieh she would not allow the station’s video cameras to record the hearing and that only photos would be permitted.

They say Amanieh violated that order by using her cellphone to record the six-minute appearance, which was later posted to KWWL. com and widely viewed.

Prosecutors filed the contempt action May 1, after Soules’ lawyers blasted the pervasive media coverage of the case. At investigators’ request, judges have also indefinitely sealed two search warrants related to the case.

Amanieh pleaded not guilty last week.

Gregg Leslie, legal defense director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, called the case rare and concerning. He said it shows how

bans on recordings of court proceedings can be arbitrary, and he questioned why the judge allowed photos but not cellphone video. He said litigants have been held in contempt for using phones to record but “you don’t hear about it happening to reporters.”

While journalists should follow court orders, “this doesn’t seem like it’s a big enough problem to warrant a contempt charge,” Leslie said.

Hours after the hearing, the district’s chief judge, Kellyann Lekar, signed an order retroactively approving expanded media coverage for the hearing. That order was requested by the media coordinator at KWWL’s urging, amid confusion about Fangman’s order. KWWL then aired and posted the video, which shows Soules in jail clothes as a prosecutor alleges he hid in his home for hours after the accident.

4 things to know from Jasper County Supervisors meeting

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News 1. The Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved Shive-Hattery for $5,200 to assist the county with defining the general scope of replacing the east courthouse window. The engineering firm will review the existing window conditions, determine the approximate extend of window removal, research possible window manufacturers who can provide the window, reach glazing and meeting with a manufacturer’s representative to discuss details and specifications.

Shive-Hattery will then prepare drafts of biddable documents for the project. The documents will include descriptions of the project, narrative of the work and details.

Supervisor Joe Brock was in favor of the services saying in the past the county has gone forward without the use of an engineer and the results showed the lack of attention to detail the engineer brings.

2. Shive-Hattery was also approved to provide professional services for a courthouse masonry restoration project in the amount of $4,200.

The tuck-pointing project consists of data collection, a visual survey and a report on preparation for all of the masonry areas at the Jasper County Courthouse.

The report will then be used to attract con-

tractors on a level basis, instead of each contractor attempting to assess the large building individually.

3. A public hearing was held and a decision was made to convert a portion of North 75th Avenue East to a level C road with a gate installed on the west entrance. The county engineer originally proposed vacating the road and returning it to the two adjacent land owners.

Following two weeks of discussion and a visit to the area by the supervisors, it was decided to keep the road but take it from a level B to level C and only give access to the adjacent land owners, the county and the sheriff ’s office.

4. Several hiring resolutions were approved for various departments throughout the county.

The sheriff ’s office hired Tracy Cross as a deputy starting Monday at a pay rate of $25.03 per hour.

Elderly Nutrition was approved to hire Wendy Smith as a substitute dishwasher at $10.26 per hour and Debra Moore as a substitute delivery driver at $9.22 per hour starting Wednesday. Shelia Bills was approved for hire to the Jasper County Health Department as a home care aide at $15.28 per hour starting May 22.

Jasper County Conservation hired Sidney Trotter as a seasonal intern at $9 per hour starting May 17.

FIRST Lego League team named a semi-finalist at state Newton Daily News The Jasper County 4-H Gearbots FIRST Lego League team, a group of 10 kids ages 10-14 and three coaches, has had a successful and dynamic season.

They competed at a regional competition in December and were invited to participate at the State competition in Ames in January. At regionals, they were also awarded the Global Innovation Award for their work on an innovative solution to a real-world problem, giving them the opportunity to compete at a related, but separate, competition at the state event.

FIRST Lego League competitions emphasize character and sportsmanship and also consist of two parts based on the same theme — a robotics component: building and programming a robot to accomplish predetermined missions, with awards being given for design and performance; and a project component: developing

an innovative solution to a real-world problem and creating a presentation explaining their solution.

This year’s theme is “Animal Allies.” The team developed a Calf Pacifier based on a daily problem encountered from a couple of the team members’ farm. A calf pacifier is intended to improve the health and well-being of bottle calves as well as help chore time and rearing of those calves orphaned (abandoned beef calves) and all dairy calves. Bottle calves exhibit a behavior called cross-sucking which leads them to suck on ears, navels and tails of another calf in his pen, resulting in bald spots, sores and illness.

Calves will also suck on metal, wood and even root in the bedding, picking up bacteria that make them ill.

Researchers have already studied and learned that 10 minutes of extra sucking time, beyond the bottle, can reduce cross-sucking by 75 percent. But, until

now, no one has developed a practical product that will satisfy this need and the calves continue to become ill, resulting in lost profits to farmers.

At the FLL State competition, the team was the overall winner at the Saturday competition, and were one of two winners for the Global Innovation Award. The reward for the first honor was being invited to participate in the World Competition, held in St. Louis a couple of weeks ago.

They competed against 102 teams from the U.S. and 30 plus countries.

Winners of the Global Innovation Award at the state level were asked to submit information about their invention on a specified website, along with winners from other states and countries.

Twenty semi-finalists were chosen to come to Washington, D.C. for the final ceremonies, and the Gearbots were named one of these semi-finalists.

Last week saw strong push for planting 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.

“Iowa farmers took advantage of agreeable weather and made significant progress this past week and now 85 percent of corn and 40 percent of soybeans are planted. That nearly 1/3 of the 23 million acres of corn and soybeans can be planted in one week is a true testament to the hard work, skill and efficiency

of our state’s farmers,” Northey said.

The weekly 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 It was a dry week across much of Iowa for the week ending May 14, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Statewide there were 4.5 days suitable for fieldwork, up more than a day from the previous week. This

allowed farmers to plant one-third of the State’s expected corn acreage and just under one-third of the State’s expected soybean acreage.

The dry and warm weather also aided crop emergence.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 1 percent short, 86 percent adequate and 13 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 1 percent short, 84 percent adequate and 15 percent surplus. Similar to last week, the Southwest and South Central Districts reported the largest percentages of surplus subsoil moisture.

Newton’s Rausch scores 100th career goal Cardinal girls win third straight, beating Perry

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News No doubt about it — Newton High senior forward Ryanne Rausch kicks herself into the record book with this 24-yard free kick goal in Tuesday’s 3-0 win over visiting Perry. Rausch is one of only three girls in Iowa high school soccer history to score 100 career goals.

Ryanne Rausch set the ball down on the 24-yard line, took a step back and waited. When the official gave the signal, the Newton High senior forward exhaled, focused then launched the soccer ball.

Rausch’s kick was high enough to clear all the players between her and the goal, including Perry’s goalkeeper.

The kick was true. The ball settled in the back of the net.

“I knew it was good when I kicked it. I teared up a bit when it happened. It’s aways been a goal of mine to get here,” Rausch said about striking her 100th career soccer goal. She needed two goals to reach the lofty plateau as the Class 2A No. 15 Newton Cardinals hosted Perry’s Jayettes Tuesday.

Rausch had a foot into

all three goals scored by the Cardinals in a 3-0 victory at home. She appeared ready to launch her first shot on goal when she made a crossing pass to a sprinting Carter Lee. Lee, a junior, had a wide-open shot to put Newton up 1-0 with 29:35 left in the first half.

Rausch was squeezed between two Perry defenders right in front of the goal, but had enough power to kick the ball through the legs of one of the defenders and deposit the ball in the net. Her 99th goal came at 17:16 mark of the first half.

“I knew I was close (to 100) coming into this game.

When I got the 99th goal, I knew when I got the free kick I was going to put it in,” Rausch said.

With 5:35 on the first-half clock, Newton was awarded GOAL | 4B

Tigerhawk baseball expects to compete for SICL crown

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo senior Adam Teed earned second team all-South Iowa Cedar League honors last season. Teed is one of 10 returning starters on the Tigerhawk baseball team in 2017.

Members of the Colfax-Mingo baseball team are tuned into the Internet. The Tigerhawks have seen the preseason predictions. They have addressed it to each other and moved on.

The Tigerhawks were picked to finish fourth in the South Iowa Cedar League West Division by iowapreps. com. There are six teams total.

“They saw that, and they all agreed that that’s not what should happen,” Colfax-Mingo coach Greer Milledge said. “We have a bunch of guys back from last year. The kids want to be great. I think they can compete. This sport is one this school can be great at.”

Colfax-Mingo went 14-16 in Milledge’s first season as head coach.

The Tigerhawks finished 7-9 in their first season in the SICL. Of the 16 losses, eight were by three runs or less.

Lynnville-Sully, the preseason favorite according to Iowa Preps, finished 13-3 in the league last year. The Hawks went 3-0 against Colfax-Mingo but all three games were decided by a total of six runs.

“We should compete for the SICL title,” Milledge said. “We could be an undefeated team in the conference, but you just don’t know what team will

show up every night. That’s how it is in baseball. If our pitchers are on, we’ll be tough to beat.”

The top five starting pitchers from last year are all back.

Juniors Jonathan Jacobs and Alex Lewis lead the way. Jacobs missed the first half of last year but finished with an earned run average of 1.91 in 18 1/3 innings. Lewis logged 33 1/3 innings, finished 3-2 and had an ERA of 2.91.

“I think they’ll split time as our ace,” Milledge said. “Jonathan is more of a power pitcher, and Alex throws more off-speed stuff. So both guys compliment each other.

The rest of the staff includes sophomore Zarek Hill, freshman Trystin Ross and junior Jarod Nichols.

Ross and Hill come into the season as the No. 3 and 4 starters.

Hill logged the most innings (50) on the team and had an ERA of 3.08.

Ross was 2-0 in three starts, including a win over Class 2A Prairie City-Monroe. He had an ERA of 2.53.

The 2017 season will be the first in which a mandatory pitch count goes into effect.

The most pitches a pitcher can throw in one outing is 110, but eighth-graders and freshmen can only toss 150 pitches in a week.

CMB boys win fifth straight, down Ankeny Christian Academy

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

ANKENY — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter boys’ soccer team is getting hot at the right time.

The Raiders head into the postseason with five straight victories after the second win over Ankeny Christian Academy in the last five days.

Column: NASCAR turns to softer tires to goose All-Star race

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — This is a strange time in NASCAR and one that often feels very close to the Wild West.

In this time of rebuilding, the mindset should be that anything goes and nothing is off the table.

NASCAR can tinker with the rules and the regulations and the formats until something absolutely clicks. On Monday, less than two weeks away from the Coca-Cola 600, NASCAR went ahead and added a fourth stage to its longest race of the year.

Which brings us to Saturday night’s All-Star Race. If given a blank sheet of paper for a race that is basically a made-for-TV cash grab, why not shake the whole thing up?

Instead, what NASCAR,

Charlotte Motor Speedway and the driver council came up with was the optional use of a softer tire for the event.

This is as inside baseball as can possibly be. The ability to use a softer tire is something drivers and teams will strategize over, and the true gearheads will get geeked about.

The rest of the world? Well, there are probably a million other options that might have stirred a greater interest.

The race is three segments of 20 laps and one final 10-lap segment.

The softer tire should be faster than the other option, but no one is certain how long the speed will last.

Teams are now challenged to decide if they will use the tires early to be one of the 10 cars advancing to the final shootout,

or if they will save the tires for the final sprint to the $1 million prize.

Got it?

Marcus Smith, the president and chief operating officer of Speedway Motorsports Inc., believes the “bonus tire” is going to add excitement to the race.

“The teams are constantly engineering their way around the boundaries that are set,” Smith said. “That’s part of the idea in throwing a challenge at these really smart race car drivers. The bonus tire is going to put on a new challenge for them, force them to bring their creativity and thinking, and it’s going to produce a fantastic race.”

OK, but we’re talking about tires. Even Smith concedes it is not the sexiest fix under the sun.

Tigerhawks Continued from Page 1B ​“I don’t think the new rules will affect us as much as it affects other teams,” Milledge said. “I feel like we have a lot of pitching depth.”

The top returning hitter for the Tigerhawks is junior Misha Seebeck. He batted .398 last year with 24 runs, 15 RBIs and 11 stolen bases. Seebeck was an honorable mention all-conference selection last year.

Three other returners batted better than .300, including seniors Adam Teed (.356) and Jimmy Camp (.302) and Hill (.350). All three players had on base percentages of at least .429 and stole at least 16 bases.

Teed earned second team all-conference honors in 2016, and Hill was

an honorable mention selection.

The rest of the lineup should be filled in with returners Nichols (.283), freshman Brady Berkey (.333 in 18 at-bats) and senior Wyatt Owens (.257) and newcomer Cameron Warner, a senior.

According to Milledge, Warner will make an immediate impact and freshman Trinity Schroeder will have a bigger role.

“We have some depth,” Milledge said. “The seniors we lost are going to be hard to replace, but we have a few who should fill in nicely.”

The Tigerhawks open the 2017 season against the SICL preseason favorite Lynnville-Sully Hawks at 6 p.m. Monday in Colfax.

Seniors look to put Mustang softball back in HOIC title talk

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News With eight seniors returning in 2017, new Prairie City-Monroe softball coach Scott Bridges doesn’t see why the Mustangs can’t climb the Heart of Iowa Conference standings after a disappointing 2016.

The Mustangs return third team all-stater Jayci Vos and pitching ace Kayla Jennings and six other seniors hope to improve upon an 11-18 record.

“Things are going really well so far,” Bridges said. “I am really pleased, but the girls need to believe in themselves and they need to handle adversity better. The skills are there. I have no doubt about that.”

Vos, a first-team all-conference player in 2016, led the Mustangs at the plate last year. The four-year starter hit a team-best .341 with a teamhigh 23 runs, four home runs, 20 RBIs, 15 walks and 10 stolen bases.

Jennings, who has been starting on the varsity since her eighth-grade year, was the only other Mustang who hit better than .300. She finished with a .302 average with three homers and 14 RBIs. Jennings was an honorable mention all-conference selection last year.

In the circle, Jennings was 9-12 with an earned run average of 3.13 and 110 strikeouts.

Jennings logged 143 innings.

No other Mustang pitched more than 35.

“Kayla is our No. 1 pitcher,” Bridges said. “There is no doubt about that. But we want her to be strong at the end of the season. So we may not use her as much during the early part of the season.”

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Jayci Vos returns to the Mustang softball squad after earning first team all-conference and third team all-state honors last season after leading the team at the plate.

Helping Jennings in the circle is expected to be senior Chelbie Gillespie and sophomore Maya Hegwood. Bridges said Hegwood is much improved from last year, having a stronger and more accurate arm.

The rest of the roster in-

cludes mostly seniors.

Seniors Katie Vande Wall and Abby Waddell join Vos as four-year starters. Waddell batted .286 with 12 RBIs last year, and Vande Wall hit .233.

Waddell was a second-team all-HOIC selection last season.

Seniors Brooke Nicholson,

Courtney Bridges, Jaiden Rogers and Gillespie are all back, too. Nicholson batted .273 in her first season at PCM. Rogers hit .260 in her second year as a starter. Bridges, the starting catcher, hit .200 last season.

Bridges earned second team all-conference honors last year, and Rogers was an honorable mention selection.

“We haven’t had this many seniors in awhile,” Coach Bridges said. “We need them to be leaders. They need to give everything they have in their last year.”

Junior Madison Foster is the only non-senior back this year.

She started 13 games a year ago.

Sophomores Avery Stock and Camryn Wignall suffered knee injuries during basketball season, and Coach Bridges does not expect either to play this season.

PCM’s 6-8 record in the Heart of Iowa Conference play put them sixth in the standings. Four teams — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter, Saydel, North Polk and South Hamilton — won at least 10 games in the HOIC in 2016 and those four are the early favorites to contend for the conference title in 2017. CMB placed fifth in Class 3A at the state tournament.

“The HOIC is always a tough league, and it will continue to be tough this season,” Coach Bridges said.

PCM opens the new season against Greene County at 7 p.m. Monday in Monroe. The Mustangs host Roland-Story at 7 p.m. on May 24.

Lindsay takes over young PCM squad looking to flip its script

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Jeff Lindsay spent seven ​ years as an assistant coach under Shaun Hudnut. After Hudnut resigned in the offseason, Lindsay takes over a program that graduated its top pitcher and a four-year starter in the outfield.

The Mustangs do return their top two hitters, an all-conference catcher and a large chunk of its young talent that is sure to be better in 2017.

Lindsay will be working with a mostly young pitching staff, and with the new rules on pitch count going into effect, it could be challenging putting the pieces to the puzzle together.

“We have a fair amount of experience back, but we will have a young pitching staff,” Lindsay said. “The new pitch count rules is going to make your team versatile. Fortunately, our team is versatile. We have guys that can play several positions.”

Junior Noah Henkenius starts the season as the team’s top pitcher.

Senior Braden Phifer also will pitch. The rest of the staff is filled with freshmen and sophomores.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News URBANDALE —Ben Webster scored twice, and the Des Moines Christian boys’ soccer team recorded its third straight shutout during a 4-0 win over Prairie City-Monroe on Tuesday.

Josh Swanson and Kyle McGuire also scored and Matt Brightman had an assist as the Lions (11-2) won their seventh straight game.

Cyclones lose front court player Kasongo to transfer AMES (AP) — Iowa State’s Ray Kasongo is leaving the program without ever playing a game for the Cyclones.

Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said Tuesday that he and the 6-foot9 Kasongo agreed that it would be best if the Canadian finished his career at another school.

The move came just one day after the Cyclones announced that former Princeton big man Hans Brace will join them next season as a graduate transfer.

Kasongo signed with Tennessee after a year of junior college, but he left for Ames after playing sparingly in 2015-16. He sat out last season under NCAA transfer rules.

Iowa State still has two open scholarships for next season.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Ryan Hill will be the Mustangs’ everyday catcher again in 2017 after earning second team all-conference honors in 2016.

.337. Phifer was an honorable mention all-conference selection.

The rest of the pitching staff includes players who tossed 18 or less innings last year and no other returning Mustang batted better than .300.

“My expectation for this year is to go out every night and compete,” Lindsay said.

“I want them to play the game the way the game is supposed to be played. If we are in the upper half of the league offensively and defensively, we’ll be in a good situation.”

The rest of the pitching staff includes sophomores Preston Van Wyk, Brayton Van Dyke and Reed Worth and freshmen Derek Brown and Dane Owens.

Senior Ryan Hill was a second-team all-conference player last year. He returns as the starting catcher after hitting .283 a year ago.

The other three returning seniors include Noah Clark, Ethan Thomas and Chase Kuecker. Thomas and Kuecker should have larger roles this year. Clark will be a three-year starter at third base.

Sophomore Wes Cummings, who injured his shoulder during wrestling season, is not expected to play in 2017, according to Lindsay.

The Mustangs finished 1218 last season.

They went 7-9 in the Heart of Iowa Conference. Lindsay expects the HOIC title contenders to include Roland-Sto-

ry, Saydel, Gilbert and North Polk.

To move up in the standings, Lindsay feels his players will need to start recognizing what they do right and wrong and adjusting during games.

“They don’t always have to be told what to do,” Lindsay said. “We will coach the kids, but we also want them to be able to adjust to what they see during the games.”

PCM opens the 2017 season against Greene County at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Prairie City.

They play South Tama County at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Tama.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Celtics won by beating out the Lakers, giving the draft lottery an old NBA Finals feel.

The Celtics won the lottery Tuesday night, capitalizing on a trade they made with the Brooklyn Nets four years ago.

The Lakers moved up one spot to second to hold onto their pick.

They would have had to trade it to Philadelphia if it fell outside the top three.

The 76ers will pick third. Phoenix picks fourth.

Sacramento moved up into the top three, but the 76ers had the right to swap with them through terms of a past trade. The Kings will select fifth and 10th.

Orlando is sixth, followed by Minnesota, New York and Dallas.

Charlotte is No. 11, with Detroit, Denver and Miami rounding out the 14 lottery spots.

Schwarber, Rizzo homer, Cubs top Reds for Maddon’s 1,000th win

CHICAGO (AP) — Cubs manager Joe Maddon paired his 1,000th win with a glass of red wine made by Big Smooth wines out of Lodi, California.

A nod to his past on a very sweet night.

Slumping sluggers Anthony Rizzo and Kyle Schwarber homered to help the Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds 9-5 on Tuesday, handing a landmark victory to their beloved manager.

Maddon became the eighth active manager with at least 1,000 wins. He started his coaching career in the minors with the Angels and served as the interim manager of the major league club on two occasions before taking over Tampa Bay. He is in his third season with the Cubs after guiding them to a World Series title last year.

“I’ve seen a lot of different methods,” Maddon said with the glass of wine waiting on the table in front of him. “I’ve been taught well, and I really want to say, it’s 1,000 wins, other guys have done it, but to the players

that have been a part of this, I want to say thank you, because you don’t do this without really good players. You don’t.”

The 63-year-old Maddon, known for his eccentric tricks over the years like mariachi bands and impromptu petting zoos, also thanked his coaches before he was toasted by the team in a room off the main clubhouse at Wrigley Field.

“He’s a great manager, a great one to play for, and we know that we have his back and he’ll have ours,” Schwarber said.

Ian Happ hit his second homer in his third major league game and Addison Russell also went deep as Chicago returned to .500 after a lackluster road trip. NL MVP Kris Bryant added two hits in his first appearance after missing three games with an illness.

Joey Votto, Zack Cozart and Tucker Barnhart connected for Cincinnati on a warm and windy night. Bronson Arroyo (3-3) was hit hard in five innings, allowing five runs and

eight hits.

“It was one of those days, man,” Arroyo said. “It’s a hard place to pitch when the wind’s blowing the way it is, and their guys just did a better job of keeping the ball in the park than we did.”

The Cubs (19-19) had dropped seven of nine, including four of their last six at division leaders Colorado and St. Louis.

Schwarber’s continued trouble in the leadoff spot and the shaky performance so far by the rotation had created some angst for a fan base expecting more of the same after Chicago’s drought-busting crown last year, but no one seemed a bit worried around the team.

Willson Contreras had two hits and two RBIs, and John Lackey (4-3) pitched into the sixth inning in the opener of a 10-game homestand.

Schwarber was hitless in 17 at-bats before he belted a drive in the second inning that landed near the back of the bleachers in right.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High freshman Kameron Nehring (30) goes high to kick the ball away from a Perry player during Tuesday night’s non-conference soccer game. Newton defeated visiting Perry, 3-0, for its third straight shutout win to improve to 10-3 on the season.

Goal Continued from Page 1B a free kick. Rausch hammered home the ball.

“This is something I’ve been working on since I was a freshman, but I wouldn’t be at this point without my teammates.

I want to thank them,” Rausch said. “It was nice to get these two goals tonight at home.”

Continued from Page 2B “We’ve done the best we know we can do, with the tools we have at this time,” he said.

At a time when anything should go, softer tires were the best the industry could come up with for a showcase event. Here are some other ideas, some realistic and some ridiculous: — Don’t tell teams the rules — segment lengths, inversions, etc. — until the pre-race driver meeting. That gives them roughly 2 hours to figure out a strategy.

— Stage an iRacing online tournament for the drivers on the infield big screen to set the starting order.

— Make the drivers have

Newton’s 3-0 halftime lead stood. The Jayettes had several shots on goal in the first half with Newton senior goalkeeper Ashlee Freese made three saves.

The Cardinals (10-3) are on a three-game winning streak — all three shutouts at home.

Rausch said the team is building confidence after losing three in a row, and heading into the final stretch of the season.

Rausch, who is Newton High’s all-time leading scorer,

has 18 goals this season. She is only the third girls in Iowa girls’ high school soccer history to score 100 career goals.

Newton takes a 3-2 conference mark into a 7 p.m. Little Hawkeye Conference game Thursday against Class 1A No. 14 Pella Christian at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium.

a foot race to their car on pit road. They can begin the race whenever they climb in.

— Raise the purse to $5 million. Put a playoff berth on the line. Somehow, raise the stakes to make it a meaningful race.

— Make it be a true headto-head of short shootouts in which drivers advance until one is left standing.

— Let it be a true race of technology and drivers get to pilot whatever their team builds, ala “run what you brung.”

Smith doesn’t dispute that some of the notions are enticing. He personally favors something from a reality TV format, but doesn’t know how workable it is just yet.

“I’d like it to be like the show ‘Iron Chef,’ and teams show up on Monday and get a secret

part,” Smith said. “There are no rules, whatever you can think of, just figure it out.”

So why not let the teams run whatever they can build?

“Because it would be totally crazy and would favor the most well-heeled teams because they have an advantage,” he said.

“One day, I would love to get there, where we can be totally crazy. But this bonus tire is going to be cool. This bonus tire has that kind of potential.”

Smith wouldn’t dismiss possibly moving the race to another SMI-owned track: “I won’t say never” when it comes to a move out of Charlotte. As for the track’s road course, could that be in play for the All-Star race? “It could be,” he said.

For now, we’ve got softer tires. Hopefully, that’s enough.

Humans are notorious for trying very hard to prove the ideas in which they are ideologically invested. We tend to make up our minds first, and (SET ITAL) then (END ITAL) look for the evidence to support our decision. It’s an unscientific approach to life (that doesn’t mean it’s without merit) and nonetheless the one that will prevail under these last days of the stubborn Taurus sun.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 17). You will create a contract for what you want to change in your life this year, and you’ll find the inner drive and resources (including the right people) to help you make that

happen. Distractions part.

Mostly, your desired result will be front and center of your mind, which makes this one of the most productive years to date. Cancer and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 18, 9, 40, 13 and 20.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

It’s uncomfortable not being in control. Of course, it’s especially hard to let go and trust when you have reason to doubt the leader. Today it might even be grounds for taking over the leadership position.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

It’s not an exaggeration to say that sometimes love matters to you as much as life itself.

Therefore, you can’t really overthink it. It’s complex and mystical and completely worthy of all the thought you put into it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Productivity doesn’t always manifest in the same way. If you can help another person behave better, kinder and with more awareness of the big picture, you’ve done more than your share.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Do not underestimate the power of nonconformity. It can, in fact, change the world.

As you customize your lifestyle to suit yourself instead of the social norms, new contours will emerge.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You want to override bad memories by adding good ones. Bad memories tend to have more impact (a function of biology), so it will take quite a few more good ones to do the trick. It’s a worthy use of your time and energy today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’ll enjoy making predictions and then waiting to be proven wrong or right. It doesn’t matter either way, though, because this is about your creation, really. Whatever really happens, you will be the one who made it so.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Is love a serious illness? You may wonder this, because you feel physically terrible when your love suffers and absolutely high when your beloved is joyful and mutually enamored.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The difference between romantic love and platonic love can be a close call. Also, things can change along the way -- creating new mixes, different chemistry and fresh experiences. Stay open to possibility.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t have to reach out, communicate better or be proactive in the least. You’ve done the work already. Now the path before you is being cleared.

Trust and be ready to move forward.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In your quest for truth, do not let yourself be diverted by what you wish to believe or by what you wish everyone believed. The only way to see

what’s really there is to do away with expectation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Instead of concerning yourself with what’s equitable. Though it makes sense to think in terms of equitable distribution of tasks, attention, money, etc., it just won’t happen. Create something that works for both people.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’re plenty smart enough; it’s just that reason and logic are not going to lead you through the situation. Your instinct will get you there. All you have to do is listen and follow.

Pitching is fuel for Hawk baseball success

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Heading into the 2017 baseball season, Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks have their three top pitchers returning.

Hitting-wise, the Hawks are searching for players to step into roles after losing five hitters out of last year’s every-day lineup.

“We still like what we have going into the season,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Bob Scandridge said. “Our kids have a good understanding of the game, and should have few mental mistakes on defense.”

Lynnville-Sully is considered by many as the favorite for the 2017 South Iowa Cedar League championship.

The Hawks were 13-3 in conference play a year ago, tying for second place with Belle Plaine, behind SICL champion BGM at 15-1.

“The race is wide open for several teams including Belle Plaine, Colfax-Mingo, North Mahaska,” Scandridge said looking at the SICL. “BGM lost two top-notch pitchers and hitters for last season and it will also make a run. I see our team as a very solid one

Lynnville-Sully will see how good Colfax-Mingo is to open the season. The Hawks take on the Tigerhawks on Monday in Colfax.

The Hawks finished 15-10 last season, losing 4-2 to Martensdale-St. Marys in a Class 1A district semifinal. Lynnville-Sully led 2-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning when Martensdale-St. Marys rallied for three runs.

The Hawks have their No. 1 battery — senior pitcher Tyler Van Zante and junior catcher Carson Dunsbergen — in place. They also have junior pitchers Elijah Collins and Josh Dunsbergen back on the mound.

Van Zante was the starting pitcher against Martensdale-St. Marys. He was ready to get the bad taste out of his mouth following the game last July.

Van Zante earned firstteam SICL honors as a pitcher. Van Zante finished 6-2 on the mound with a 2.63 earned run average. At the plate, he hit .390, had an on base percentage of .545, scored 17 runs and had 15 RBIs. Carson Dunsbergen was named SICL second-team catcher. He batted .412 and had a .515 OBP.

Collins drew SICL honorable mention honors. He went 6-1 pitching, had an ERA of 2.30 and struck out 43 batters.

At the plate, Collins hit .354, stole 10 bases and scored 16 runs.

Josh Dunsbergen pitched 34 1/3 innings last season for a 4-2 record. He allowed 36 hits, walked 22 and stuck out 34 batters.

Hawk softball squad has strong mix of veterans, youth

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Tradition never graduates.

Many athletic teams use those three words from high school level to professional level. It would be hardpressed for anyone to deny this slogan is worn well by Lynnville-Sully’s Hawk softball program.

With a very young pitching staff a year ago, the Hawks finished 16-17 overall. They lost to fellow South Iowa Cedar League team Colfax-Mingo in a Class 1A regional quarterfinal game.

Lynnville-Sully went 9-4 in the SICL to finish fourth. Colfax-Mingo Tigerhawks were the 2016 SICL champions at 11-2.

As the 2017 season gets underway Monday, the Hawks

host the Tigerhawks in a SICL matchup in Sully.

“The conference is very strong this year. We should compete for the top positions with a very competitive squad with experience and youth,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Stacey Alberts, who enters her 12 season guiding the Hawks with a 250-126 coaching record.

Alberts along with her assistant coaches Scott Alberts, Tracy Conn and Becca Vos bring consistency to the Hawk softball program. That consistency rubs off on the players as they begin in the program as eighth-graders and move up the ranks to being seniors.

Lynnville-Sully have two strong senior leaders in team captains Brenna Lanser and Haley James. The other senior

on the team is Cheyanne Nikkle.

Lanser is a two-time allstate infielder.

She earned Iowa Girls Coaches Association district and all-state James honors last year as the Hawks third-baseman. She is also a two-time SICL first-team selection.

Lanser led the team with seven home runs, tying for seventh in Class 1A. She had 47 RBIs, which was ninth in 1A, with a .458 batting average and a .794 slugging average.

Lanser had 49 hits, nine doubles and three triples.

She had a .794 slugging average. She also was 11-of-11 on

stolen base attempts. James played center field for the Hawks last year. She hit. 204 with 11 hits.

Sophomore Carson Fisk was Lynnville-Sully’s leading pitcher a year ago, finishing with a 13-11 record. She pitched 134 1/3 innings, striking out 47 batters, issuing 34 walks and allowing 190 hits.

Freshman Mallory Loftus threw 52 1/3 innings for a 1-2 record. She struck out 25 batters. Both Fisk and Loftus playing in the infield when not in the pitching circle.

Loftus hit .305, which was third on the team, with 29 hits. She drove in 15 runs and scored 27. Fisk went .266 at the plate with 25 hits, 15 RBIs and 14 runs scored.

Junior McKinley Conover saw some pitching duty also.

She played outfield and batted

.275 a year ago. Sophomore Shiloh Cunningham is an outfielder and infielder. She hit .263 last year and was 11of-11 on stolen base attempts.

Look for Nikkle, junior Taylor Maasdam and sophomores Shalea Van Wyk and Kaylee Maasdam to step into varsity roles. Freshmen on the team are Kaleah Ehresman, Abby Gruver, McKenzie Lanser, Janelle Rozendaal and Ashton Thompson. The team has two eighth-graders on the roster — Korinne Jansen and Caitlin Alberts.

“We have a hard-working, athletic group of girls. They bring positive attitudes to practices and we have team unity,” Alberts said.
