Colfax police discover vehicle linked to missing woman

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News COLFAX — A Colfax Police Department officer has linked an abandoned vehicle that was located earlier this month to an ongoing missing person’s case of a Des Moines woman.

Colfax Police Chief Andy Summy said one of his officers went to the Microtel in Colfax last week in reference to a car that had been sitting in the parking lot for a week.

The officer ran the VIN number of a white Ford F-150 and saw it belonged to Jess Solinger, 54, who is now believed to be involved in 56-year-old Lisa Diehm’s disappearance.

everal services will be held to celebrate Memorial Day throughout the holiday weekend. Ceremonies at Union Cemetery, Wittemburg Cemetery, Ashton Chapel and Sams Pioneer Cemetery will honor those who served the country through song, messages and a time of reflection.

The weekend begins with the re-hanging of wind chimes at Sams Pioneer Cemetery in Mingo at 10:30 a.m. Saturday. Each of the donated wind chimes will be hung by volunteers at each grave of the 63 children buried at Sams. Members of the public are invited to help hang the chimes and doughnuts and coffee will be provided.

Sams Pioneer Cemetery is also kicking off the Memorial Day services at 8 a.m. with the Min-

go American Legion Post Honor Guard honoring the Civil War, World War I and World War II veterans buried at the cemetery.

Memorial Day services are planned at the Wittemberg Cemetery at 9 a.m. with a Military Honor Guard starting the ceremony with a salute. Vernon Terlouw, of Killduff, a Korean War era veteran will be the featured speaker.

Those wanting to attend the ceremony should arrive about 10 minutes early and are asked to bring their own lawn chairs because of limited seating. In case of rain, the service will be held in the Wittemberg Church.

“Never Going Home,” a service planned for 9 a.m. at Ashton Chapel located in front of Ashton Wildwood Park, will feature a discussion the difficult subject of “homecomings” and what family members often find is the most

Supervisors approve state regulations for fireworks

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Jasper County Board of Supervisors have decided to follow the state law regarding fireworks legislation.

The decision was made during the regular Tuesday board meeting in regard to the June 1 start date of fireworks use and sales in Iowa.

Under state regulations, fireworks will be allowed from June 1 to July 8 and Dec. 10 to Jan.

With services taking place at the county church for almost 125 years, many traditions are in place including children putting flowers on the graves of veterans after the service and the Legion gives their 21 gun salute over the unnamed soldier’s grave. Special this year, “Taps” will be sung by an opera graduate of Simpson College.

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News A Newton High School student was asked to wash “love trumps hate” off his arm last November, prompting the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa to defend the student and demand action from the Newton Community School District.

Through a press release this week, the ACLU said NHS apologized to the student and pledged to train teachers on First Amendment rights of students and civil rights protections for transgender students under Iowa law.

According to the ACLU, a period of “cooperative negotiation” successfully resolved the matter.

The transgender student who wrote the message on his arm was told by his physical education teacher to stop writing on himself. The teacher also called the student “girl” even after another student spoke up to remind the teacher that the student identifies as a boy, the ACLU said.

“The student was then taken to the assistant principal’s office, where he was told students shouldn’t discuss politics at SPEECH | 3A

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Wednesday, May 24, the 144th day of 2017. There are 221 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 24, 1775, John Hancock was unanimously elected President of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, succeeding Peyton Randolph.

On this date: In 1844, Samuel F.B. Morse transmitted the message “What hath God wrought” from Washington to Baltimore as he formally opened America’s first telegraph line.

In 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge, linking Brooklyn and Manhattan, was dedicated by President Chester Alan Arthur and New York Gov. Grover Cleveland.

In 1935, the first major league baseball game to be played at night took place at Cincinnati’s Crosley Field as the Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-1.

In 1937, in a set of rulings, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Social Security Act of 1935.

In 1962, astronaut Scott Carpenter became the second American to orbit the Earth as he flew aboard Aurora 7.

In 1977, in a surprise move, the Kremlin ousted Soviet President Nikolai Podgorny from the Communist Party’s ruling Politburo.

In 1980, Iran rejected a call by the World Court in The Hague to release the American hostages.

In 1994, four Islamic fundamentalists convicted of bombing New York’s World Trade Center in 1993 were each sentenced to 240 years in prison.

In 2001, 23 people were killed when the floor of a Jerusalem wedding hall collapsed beneath dancing guests, sending them plunging several stories into the basement.

Ten years ago: Bowing to President George W. Bush, Congress passed an emergency war spending bill that did not include a provision ordering troops home from Iraq beginning in the fall of 2007.

Ohio death row inmate Christopher Newton was executed by injection; it took him 16 minutes to die, more than twice the usual amount of time, once chemicals began flowing into his veins, which the execution team had trouble locating.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama doubled down on criticism of rival Mitt Romney’s background as a venture capitalist, telling a rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds there might be value in such experience but “not in the White House.”

Brian Banks, a former high school football star whose dreams of a pro career were shattered by what turned out to be a false rape accusation, burst into tears as a judge in Long Beach, California, threw out the charge that had sent Banks to prison for more than five years.

One year ago: Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump each won primaries in Washington state. Protests outside a Donald Trump rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico, turned violent as demonstrators threw burning T-shirts, plastic bottles and other items at police officers, overturned trash cans and knocked down barricades.

That’s Odd Police department names new K-9 after Patriots’ Gronkowski ATHOL, Mass. (AP) — Gronk will soon be tracking down criminals, sniffing for drugs and acting as the furry face of a Massachusetts police department.

No, not New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. This Gronk is the Athol Police Department’s new dog. The year-old German shepherd is undergoing a 14-week training program.

Gronk’s namesake was first reported by the Athol Daily News.

Chief Russell Kleber said Gronk will be the department’s first K-9 officer in seven or eight years. He says he wanted to name the dog after a Boston sports figure and recalled that the real Gronk has a connection to town.

Entertainment Roger Moore had prouder achievements than playing James Bond LONDON (AP) — Sir Roger Moore saw more to life than a well-mixed martini.

“I felt small, insignificant and rather ashamed that I had traveled so much making films and ignored what was going on around me,” he would say years after starring in seven James Bond movies and upon accepting a role that his friend Audrey Hepburn inspired him to take on, goodwill ambassador for UNICEF. Moore, who died Tuesday at age 89, didn’t seem to take Bond that seriously even while playing him.

Burdened with following Sean Connery as Agent 007, Moore kept it light, using a wry, amused tone and perpetually arched eyebrow as if he had landed on the set by accident.

Connery embodied for millions the role of Bond as the suave drinker, womanizer and disposer of evil.

Moore didn’t so much inhabit the character as look upon him with disbelief.

“To me, the Bond situations are so ridiculous, so outrageous,” he once said.

“I mean, this man is supposed to be a spy and yet, everybody knows he’s a spy. Every bartender in the world offers him martinis that are shaken, not stirred.

ously — but I didn’t tell my mother until I was 16, because I felt that it was something to be ashamed of,” he told The Associated Press at the time.

He gave no details, but said it was important to encourage young victims not to feel guilty.

The school district responded in February by conducting an investigation. Superintendent Bob Callaghan said NCSD has resolved the allegations and will review school policies and procedures related to student freedom of expression and student civil rights related to gender identity.

The school district also confirmed it will provide training to teachers about these issues and provide information to students about these issues.

According to the ACLU press release, the teacher and assistant principal involved have expressed their regrets to the student about the incident and the harm that it caused. In addition to teachers receiving training on civil rights and free speech, the press release said the school will provide printed copies of the ACLU’s student rights booklet to students as they begin their school year.

“We are so honored to have been able to represent this bright young man in standing up for his rights to free speech and non-discrimination in school, as well as the rights of others,” said ACLU of Iowa Legal Director Rita Bettis.

Supervisor Joe Brock presented three options for the board to regulate fireworks use. The first would be to keep the system of permits that is currently in place, second would be to outlaw fireworks in the county and the third would be to follow state law and end the practice of issuing permits.

The board approved following the state law and stopping the practice of issuing permits at any time during the year.

“It used to be put on the supervisors to make decisions when people requested,” Brock said. “I was always uncomfortable approving (permits).”

Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty agreed with Brock about issuing permits due to the time range fireworks could be used throughout the county.

“I was uncomfortable with the permits, too, because they could go as late as September. If that goes up and sets a dry cornfield on fire, we are going to be the ones called to put out the fire, either in the field or between the neighbors,” Halferty said.

“I think there will be a learning

“I’m excited to work from the inside, creating opportunities for kids,” Miller said.

The opening at WEST appeared when current principal Mike Moran announced his intentions to leave the district after this school year for a position in Urbandale.

A committee, which included fellow Newton principals Todd Schuster, Jolene Comer, Lisa Sharp and other district

employees, selected Miller.

Board member Josh Cantu was also on the committee. He said the board is excited to have Miller join the district.

“We had a lot of very qualified candidates, but in the end I think we chose the right person,” Cantu said.

What comes next?

I

Candidly Unfiltered Kayla Langmaid

have never witnessed a terrorist attack — a bombing, mass shooting or stabbing, but I think it’s safe to say we have all have watched the recounts of these horrific incidents on our television screens or smart phones. I have, however, met several individuals who have been impacted by a terrorist attack in one way or another during my career as a reporter.

This past Monday there was yet another terrorist attack in the world and even though it wasn’t in the United States, it still hit close to home. It reminded us of the Boston marathon bombings and the shootings in Orlan-

do and San Bernardino.

In my political science class in college, I learned the definition of terrorism is, “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.”

The bombing in Manchester left 22 young victims dead at an Ariana Grande concert, according to the New York Times. This terror attack reminded me much of the Orlando nightclub shootings in the way that it targeted a demographic of young people.

When I was a reporter for the The Henry Herald in McDonough, Ga. last

year, several residents organized a memorial event in honor of the Orlando shooting victims which occurred in July 2016. The memorial drew in a number of residents who had ties to the Orlando community and even drew attendees from Orlando.

There were 49 torches that were lit during the memorial, which represented the 49 individuals who had died in the shooting. Covering this event really opened my eyes to how many families and friends are affected by these acts of violence. I interviewed the Orlando residents during the event, and even though they weren’t harmed directly, it was still saddening to them and “hit home.” One man I interviewed was a part of the LGBT community and had been to the same nightclub before.

The event drew in the town’s mayor and several officers from the local police department. An Orlando resident had written and performed a song and there was silence, a lot of silence. In the midst of the sadness, I still felt a sense of peace. I think there is something to be said about communities who come together during tragic times.

It makes me think about what will happen next. Do we have to be afraid to go to events and gatherings where there are large crowds? To airports and movie theaters? It also makes me think about our country’s leadership and how will President Trump handle foreign affairs and similar tragedies that are bound to come. Will he stand for unity instead of hatred?

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

The thing about bigotry You. Yes, you. You’re a bigot.

Are you a straight man who only wants to have sex with women? Are you a gay man who only wants to have sex with men? Are you a bisexual man who wants to have sex with people of both sexes but only if they are good-looking? Are you asexual?

You’re a bigot.

According to Samantha Allen of The Daily Beast, it is deeply “disappointing but unsurprising” that under 20 percent of Americans in a recent survey said they would be open to having sex with a transgender person. That’s because, she says, “Cultural acceptance has tended to lag behind formal recognition.”

It turns out that according to the left, all sexual behavior is malleable and based largely on social structures that have been implemented by the patriarchy. Men and women don’t exist but for their self-perception — we know that a man can be a woman and a woman can be a man, regardless of biology. That’s why Caitlyn Jenner isn’t just a man with a mental disorder and some plastic surgery and hormone injections; Caitlyn Jenner is as much of a woman as Michelle Obama. The left reasons that if a man can be a woman, then a man who only wants to have sex with biological women must be a bigot — his desires have been wrongly defined by a society that restricted the definition of womanhood to, you know, women. If only men had been exposed to the deeper truth of gender earlier.

If only they’d known that some women have male genitalia. Then, perhaps they’d be willing to have sex with biological men who are actually women.

The same holds true with regard to homosexuals, of course. If a woman is a lesbian, it’s discriminatory of her to not want to have sex with a man who identifies as a woman. Her desires have also been shaped by her environment. And her environment has drawn a stark but wrong — oh, ever so wrong! — line between biological men and biological women.

If all of this sounds insane, that’s because it is.

Straight men are attracted to women, not men who identify as women. Straight women are attracted to biological men. As a general rule, homosexuals are attracted to members of the same biological sex.

Attempting to pretend away reality doesn’t change that reality.

But the left is plagued by two myths that lie in direct opposition to one another. The first: All human behavior can be changed by changing society at large. The second: All human sexual behavior is innate and unchanging. Under the first myth, if we just train people that men and women are the same and that even their genitals don’t provide a meaningful difference, men will begin having sex with transgender women, and women will begin having sex with transgender men. Under the second myth, however, transgender identity itself is immutable and unchanging, as is homosexuality and heterosexuality. This provides an unanswerable conundrum for transgender advocates: How can they get people to accept transgender people sexually when people’s sexuality is supposedly unchanging?

So the left merely ignores the problem and papers it over with the word “bigot.”

Reality isn’t bigotry. People are attracted to those they are attracted to. There is a biological component to that as well as a cultural component.

But ignoring biology in favor of culture is idiotic, and ignoring culture in favor of biology is ignorant. They both play a part. The suggestion that discriminatory nastiness is at the root of the perfectly logical biological desire for people to have sex with members of the opposite biological sex is merely a slur, a crutch to cover up the illogic of the far left when it comes to gender and sex.

Legalize freedom and fireworks The Fourth of July will soon be here. Something about celebrating independence from the British. There could be a little noise involved. Some people seem to be against such celebrating by the common people today.

So often these days almost anything can be pushed through the system and used to trample individual liberty, supposedly for “public safety.” What we are getting is playground slides that wouldn’t slide, anti-lock brakes that won’t brake and cars that are going to drive themselves. All, we’re being told, is good “for our

Thinking about ‘Brain Trusts’ The expression or saying “Brain Trust” is something to ponder, especially today.

The brain trust saying came about in about 1932 by James M. Kieran, a reporter for The New York Times. During the election campaign Kieran unsuccessfully labeled a group of nonpolitical group of experts in economics and political science to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s as “Brain Trust.”

own good.”

What about freedom of speech and expression — wasn’t that part of liberation?

The power structure becomes so rigid, and manipulating, and two-faced oppressive that people have given up on trying to fight it?

Does littering the area with traffic control devices actually make people feel safer? Does making an even-fisted law against something hardly ever bring about willing and lasting change for the better?

Isn’t it better to build playgrounds instead of building and expanding the failed system?

Does senseless destruction of decent affordable housing let com-

mon people have a place to live?

Does the average person want more and more authority — and power-hungry elitist establishment?

In the modern world, are common sense, reasonable ideas simply not even considered? Maybe all the frenzied high-tech madness has destroyed our ability to think. Was it Jefferson who said that “for those that will give up liberty for a little safety?

The original Adolf supposedly is dead. But is he really dead or has he just changed his name and moved to a different place? Legalize freedom and fireworks. Just tell everyone to be careful and thoughtful.

End of story.

It wasn’t until Sept. 2, 1933: the first printed use was apparently in Newsweek. “The President’s Brain Trust, a little band of intellectuals, sat at the center of action as similar bands have done in revolutions of the past.”

My point as to why a group like “Brain Trusts” is a very wise thing to have and for us to ponder as to why we need groups of the smartest people in the world in everything going on in our world. In my opinion, any group giving advisement to the president or us the people and other

should not be centered on self, party or other personal agendas.

For example consider our newspapers and other news media’s “Brain Trust” advisors should report facts not how they wish it happened, in either cartoon or written expressions and it should be unbiased.

We should be able to “trust” news reporting to be fact — not a paper’s slanted opinions, unless the paper or media declares it as only their opinion.

Family Video continues to reward academic excellence Throughout the month of June, students from kindergarten through college can receive a free movie or game rental at Family Video for each final “A” grade or (equivalent mark) they achieve in a core subject on their yearend report card. The company expects to give away over one million movie and game rentals this summer.

What started more than 30 years ago as a simple way to reward local students has now become one of Family Video’s most anticipated programs.

Although the scale of the rewards program has grown, its purpose remains the same: celebrate students who put in the time and effort to achieve success in the classroom. Support from the local communities Family Video serves helps make “Report Card A” and other programs successful year after year.

“Having kids of my own in school

and watching them get excited about receiving an ‘A’ makes me realize how important our “Report Card A” program is. I believe that academic excellence is something to be celebrated,” said Keith Hoogland, Highland Ventures, Ltd. President. “It’s great to be able to give back to local communities and reward students on their success.

We look forward to continuing the ‘Report Card A’ program for many years to come.”

Giving back to the community has been at the core of the Family Video business. In addition to the Report Card A program and the hundreds of local charity events, their annual “Round It Up for Lymphoma” campaign has raised more than $6 million in the past six years. All proceeds are donated to cancer research and patient education.

Club News Sunbonnet Questers The Sunbonnet Chapter of Questers met May 11 at the home of Lois Vogel. Ten members were present to enjoy a delicious dessert followed by the business meeting and program.

Treasurer, Judy Swenson, reported on the $150 donation made from the chapter to the Jasper County Museum and shared the thank you note received from the museum staff.

Charlotte Townsend reported on ideas for possible summer trips to shops in the Amana Colonies and the community of Albia. Tentative dates were proposed for July and August, and

members will decide on those dates at the next meeting.

For Roll Call this evening, members shared special items of antique clothing, hats, jewelry, purses, and family photos. It is always fun to learn more about each member through the items shared in Roll Call.

Chapter President, Dorothy Raymond, read bits of information from the State President of Iowa Questers, Carol Tinkey. She stressed the amounts of money donated by Iowa Quester chapters to local and state projects, and international as well. Not only has nearly $14,500 in donations been made, but

more than 23,000 volunteer hours have been directed to Preserving the Past in Iowa. Certainly all Iowa Questers can be proud to have participated in this endeavor, and to continue to learn about the antiques and collectibles associated with our shared history.

The program for this evening was presented by Lois Vogel. She shared the story of the Pfister Hybrid Seed Corn Company based in El Paso, Ill. This company was started through the efforts of Lester Pfister, who sought to develop seed corn that would revolutionize the amount of bushels per acre that could be raised.

Lester was an uncle of Lois’ husband Frank Vogel, and El Paso is their hometown. For almost a decade, beginning in 1920, Lester Pfister experimented with pollinating his fields by hand, placing paper bags over the corn tassels to collect the pollen for the best ears. It was about 1932 that he successfully demonstrated his hybrid corn. However, not only did Pfister develop outstanding seed corn, but by 1938 he developed a detasseling machine, then a 12 row planter, and the Jitterbug Grater for planting accuracy.

Lester Pfister was truly a pioneer and innovator in the seed corn industry.

New job in new state tests strength of men’s relationship DEAR ABBY: I am a gay man who has been dating a divorced man for nine months. I’m 25 and he is 50. He was married to a woman for more than 20 years and has three children. (I am the age between his middle and oldest children.) We met one day and have never been apart since.

It started great. We had a connection I had never experienced before I met him. He was let go from his job, and I supported him for some time. He finally found a job in Georgia, and I am left in New York.

I made plans to move there with him, but I’m nervous about it. First, because I have never been in love before and I’m not sure if he’s as in love with me as I am with him. Second, he cheated on his wife with a man my age.

The guy left him right before he met me, and I’m not so sure he is completely over him. (I know they are still in contact, but he has never lied about it.)

I’m worried he might cheat on me too, or worse, give his ex another shot, and I’ll be left on the sidelines. What advice can you offer me? — WANTS TO MAKE THE RIGHT MOVE DEAR WANTS: Do nothing drastic right now. Pay him a visit.

Without committing yourself, take a look around to see if Georgia might suit you.

You say this man hasn’t lied to you.

While you’re there, ask him whether he would give his ex another shot if the man were willing. However, don’t prejudge him because he was unable to remain faithful to his wife. Like some gay men who come out later in life, he may not have fully realized that he was gay until some time after they were married. It happens.

DEAR ABBY: I work in a company that has small offices. Although most people have their own office, I share one because I was the last guy hired.

I have one co-worker who I really like, but he has a serious problem.

He — and his wife, I suspect — don’t do laundry. This results in him having serious odor. When he comes into my office or I have to go into his, or even walk by his door, the smell is seriously rank. How do I tell him or his superiors about this issue? — HOLDING MY NOSE IN TEXAS DEAR HOLDING: Go to your supervisor and explain the problem.

You should not have to counsel the offending employee; the boss, your supervisor or someone in human resources should do it. If the problem is as severe as you say it is, it probably won’t be the first time they have heard about it because others will have noticed it and complained, too.

DEAR ABBY: I have a new neighbor, and after meeting just once, she declared us to be “great friends.” I work full time and she doesn’t, so anytime I’m home she wants to get together.

That would be fine if I liked her, but I don’t! We are complete opposites, and she has a major gambling problem.

How do I gracefully say I’m not interested in being friends? — PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE DEAR PLEASE: The poor woman is new in the neighborhood. That may be why she’s reaching out the way she is. When she suggests getting together, explain that you have a fulltime job and things you need to do at home, so the answer is you don’t have time. Sorry.

Man pleads not guilty in deadly jail escape

COUNCIL BLUFFS — A man has pleaded not guilty to charges that he killed a sheriff’s deputy and wounded another while escaping from an Iowa jail. Wesley Correa-Carmenaty, 24, filed the pleas Tuesday to charges of murder, attempted murder, escape, kidnapping and other crimes. Authorities say Correa-Carmenaty had just been sentenced on May 1 to 45 years in prison in an unrelated murder case when he managed to grab one of the deputies’ guns while being transferred to the county jail. He shot them both and used the jail van to escape.

Branstad, 70, will resign as governor Wednesday morning in his formal office at the Capitol, according to details released Tuesday.

He’ll then be sworn in immediately as ambassador. Reynolds will be sworn in as governor shortly after that in the Capitol rotunda, where she’s expected to give a speech.

Reynolds, 57, will inherit a range of issues in her new job. A look at five of them:

WATER QUALITY After last-minute disagreements between the Republican-controlled House and Senate, Iowa lawmakers failed to approve a bill this year that would have provided a clear funding plan for water quality initiatives in the state.

The issue dominated the 2016 legislative session amid a lawsuit filed by a Des Moines water utility that accused three Iowa counties of wrongly allowing runoff from farms to enter the water that the utility cleans for distribution. The lawsuit was dismissed this year.

interest in approving tax cuts. Branstad said budget constraints prevented him from supporting such a plan when lawmakers came back to the Capitol in January.

Reynolds has been purposely mum on any specific policy plans she may have for when she’s governor, but she’s become more vocal in recent weeks about a push next session for tax cuts that would benefit individuals and businesses.

Exact plans aren’t available yet.

BUDGET Lawmakers were told before the start of this year’s session that they would need to cut more than $110 million from the current state budget, which required mid-year reductions to government agencies. A budget projection in March forced lawmakers to tap into a rainy day fund

to offset another shortfall of about $130 million. It translated into a stagnant state budget of roughly $7.2 billion that led lawmakers to make cuts to several agencies, including the board that oversees the state’s three public universities.

Reynolds will face questions over whether she might restore some of the cuts in the future.

ABORTION Republicans this year approved the creation of a state-run family planning program that excludes organizations that perform abortions, including Planned Parenthood. GOP lawmakers also passed legislation that bans most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. A provision in the new law that requires a 72-hour waiting period before a woman can get an abortion is on hold amid a legal challenge.

Iowa court offices to close for a day due to budget cuts DES MOINES (AP) — The closure of Iowa court offices for a day later this week will save the state $364,573, though it might lead to delays in some trials.

Iowa court offices will be closed Friday because of mid-year budget cuts that forced the Judicial Branch to reduce its overall expenses.

Besides the one-day closure, the $3 million mid-year budget cut approved by the Legislature this year forced a hiring freeze for judicial positions and travel restrictions, causing delays in some civil trials. Those reductions will continue for the remainder of the fiscal year, which ends June 30.

Gary Mattson, an officer with the lobbying group Iowa Association for Justice, said budget cuts have led to some delays in civil trials because judges are understaffed and can’t travel for some trials.

“The system is overburdened,” said Mattson, a Des Moines trial attorney. “It creates delays that cause problems for the courts and litigants, too.”

The Legislature’s 2018 budget for the judiciary didn’t restore its funding to fully operational levels. The Iowa Supreme Court will approve a budget for the upcoming fiscal year in late June.

Judicial Branch spokesman Steve Davis said the state Supreme Court will face difficult decisions as it finalizes the agency’s tight budget.

After the Legislature approved the judiciary budget, State Court Administrator David Boyd sent a memo to agency employees that warned the cuts would likely diminish the level of services provided to citizens.

Schools to stop using $14M testing software DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa Department of Education plans to end its contract with a testing software vendor after a technical audit found the $14 million system was “unfit.”

The 91-page audit found that the TIER testing platform, which is designed to give reading tests to students, was a “dense and disjointed” system and would likely experience technical failures in the future.

“At this time we are choosing to terminate the contract,” department spokeswoman Staci Hupp said.

“We’re concerned about a number of things, including the data system’s ability to perform in the future.”

The audit found that some webpages loaded slowly and there isn’t an obvious way to search for a specific student.

Northey: Rainy weather made planting difficult last week 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.

“Farmers took full advantage of the less than two and a half days suitable for field work to plant 7 percent of anticipated corn acres and 22

percent of soybean acres.

The spotty showers and sometimes heavy rains made it difficult to make much planting progress, especially in the later part of the week. As we approach the end of May, farmers are very anxious to finish planting and we hope for agreeable conditions to allow that to happen,” Northey said.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Steward-

ship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass. usda.gov/ia. The report summary follows here: Crop Report Statewide, Iowa farmers had only 2.3 days suitable for fieldwork during the week ending May 21, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Those few days came early in the week as rain throughout the rest of the week

made conditions too wet for planters to enter the fields.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 0 percent short, 65 percent adequate and 35 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 1 percent short, 71 percent adequate and 28 percent surplus.

Ninety-two percent of the corn crop has been planted, three days behind last year but

two days ahead of the five-year average. Corn emerged reached 59 percent, four days behind last year. The first corn condition rating of the season was 1 percent very poor, 2 percent poor, 22 percent fair, 63 percent good and 12 percent excellent. Soybean planting reached 62 percent complete, two days behind last year but one day ahead of average. Fifteen percent of soybeans have emerged, one day behind

average. Oat emergence reached 92 percent, two days ahead of average.

Oat condition was rated 80 percent good to excellent.

The first cutting of alfalfa hay advanced to 8 percent complete. Hay conditions decreased slightly to 82 percent good to excellent. Pasture condition remained at 82 percent good to excellent.

The week’s rain resulted in muddy feedlots again, stressing some cattle.

BOONE — The cry of the steam locomotive’s whistle, and the clang of the trolley’s bell will be heard in Boone this Saturday as the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad & The James H. Andrew Railroad Museum kick off their full 2017 schedule.

In addition to daily excursion train rides at 1:30 p.m. (plus 4 p.m. on Saturdays), the railroad offers dinner, dessert, picnic trains, group charters and a 9,000 square foot railroad museum now featuring a new “Streamliners Through Iowa” exhibit.

This year, a new event aims to celebrate the line’s electric

heritage. “Electric Weekend,” June 3-4, will feature two operating electric railcars: the railroad’s popular Charles City Western Car 50, and Chicago, South Shore & South Bend Car 106. Other pieces of electric railway equipment will be on display as well, including the railroad’s newest acquisition, Iowa Traction #53, an electric locomotive which, for several decades, called Mason City home. Also on hand will be a set of Illinois Central “Highliner” cars used in commuter service in Chicago. The railroad’s collection of electrical equipment represents a period of 99 years

of electric rail service across Iowa and the Midwest.

Throughout the year, look for other family favorites to return, including: Day Out With Thomas, Pumpkin Express trains, and Santa Express trains.

ages all boaters and anglers to “Clean, Drain and Dry” their boats and equipment this Memorial Day weekend to protect Iowa lakes and rivers from aquatic hitchhikers.

Aquatic hitchhikers are invasive species — everything from zebra mussels to Eurasian watermilfoil — that move from one waterbody to another by hitchhiking on boats, in bait buckets and on other equipment used in the water. They often grow quickly and spread fast when brought to another lake or stream due to lack of natural controls.

These aquatic invasive species can create serious prob-

lakes and rivers unusable for boaters, anglers and swimmers.

Boaters and anglers can unintentionally spread aquatic hitchhikers if they do not take the proper precautions each time they leave a lake or river.

• CLEAN any plants, animals, or mud from your boat and equipment before you leave a waterbody.

• DRAIN water from all equipment (motor, live well, bilge, transom well) before you leave a waterbody.

• DRY anything that comes into contact with water (boats, trailers, equipment, boots, clothing, dogs).

Five seniors and their parents were honored before Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference soccer match between Newton High’s Cardinals and the Indianola Indians.

Then the seniors led the Class 2A 15th-ranked Car-

dinals to a 2-0 victory to conclude the regular season.

Newton finished at 11-4 overall and 4-3 in conference play.

Newton’s all-time leading scorer senior Ryanne Rausch fired in two first-half goals.

The first goal came five minutes into the contest and the second one was at the 25:42 mark.

Senior Ashlee Freese was in goal and handled the few shots on goal the Indians made. She had five saves.

Seniors Courtney Jacobsen and Morgan Allen helped with the defense and senior Taylor Shipley pushed the ball up the field offensively.

Rausch, who reached the 100 career goal mark last

week, has 20 goals this season.

Freese has 90-plus saves as Newton’s goalkeeper.

The Cardinals await their 2A Region 5 semifinal opponent. Oskaloosa hosts Chariton on Thursday in the opening round of the postseason.

The winner plays the Cardinals at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Newton.

In the other side of the

Region 5 bracket, Washington plays at Mount Pleasant Thursday and the winner plays at Pella on Tuesday in the other semifinal. The Region 5 championship game is at 6 p.m. June 5 at Pella.

Cardinal baseball opens season with loss to Bobcats

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Trevor Ergenbright had one of three hits by the Cardinals in Tuesday’s season-opening loss, 5-0, at Marshalltown.

MARSHALLTOWN — Newton High’s Cardinals opened the 2017 baseball season Tuesday on the road against Marshalltown’s Bobcats. Bobcat pitcher Nate Vance threw a three-hitter in Marshalltown’s 5-0 win over the visiting Cardinals.

“He really kept us off balance all night. He used the outside corner and we didn’t make the adjustments,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said. “It’s the first game and a lot of our guys haven’t had a lot of practice against live pitching because of participating in other spring sports.”

Overall, Brisel said he was pleased with the Car-

dinals’ first outing — except for the loss. Seniors Trey Vanderlaan and Josh Gulling had stints on the mound for Newton. The Newton defense played behind them without an error.

“Pitching and defense were the two things I was confident in being solid for us this season. We’ll get the BASEBALL | 3B

Newton softball thumps Marshalltown

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Drawing a walk helped both teams score their first run of the game on Tuesday night at Newton’s Berg Middle School Softball Field.

“We started slow, but as the innings went by, we starting putting runs on the board,” Newton softball head coach Kristina McNew said after the Newton High Cardinals rolled up a 8-1 win over visiting Marshalltown.

The Bobcats used a walk, a stolen base and a wild pitch to put a runner in scoring position in the top of the first inning. A groundout drove in the run.

Newton’s Audrey Lucas worked a base-on-balls in the bottom of the second and stole second base. Kennedy Leiker hit a bloop single into right field to put runners on the corners. Leiker was thrown out trying to steal second base.

Santana allows two hits in Twins’ win over Orioles BALTIMORE (AP) — Ervin Santana pitched a two-hitter for his 10th career shutout, Brian Dozier homered and the surging Minnesota Twins beat the Baltimore Orioles 2-0 Tuesday night.

After banging out 21 hits in a 14-7 win over Baltimore on Monday, the AL Central-leading Twins relied on exceptional pitching to earn their ninth victory in 13 games.

Santana (7-2) struck out six, walked two and permitted only one runner past first base.

The lone hits against the right-hander were a second-inning single by Welington Castillo and a single in the fifth by Jonathan Schoop.

It was Santana’s 18th complete game, the second this season. He finished by retiring the last 14 batters.

Minnesota became the first team this season to capture a series at Camden Yards (the Orioles were 7-0-0). Now 16-5 on the road, the Twins on Wednesday will seek to complete their first three-game sweep in Baltimore since 1996.

Santana lowered his ERA to 1.80 and improved to 4-0 with a 0.31 ERA on the road.

NASCAR photo Kyle Larson, driver of the No. 42 Target Chevrolet, and Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 M&M’s Caramel Toyota, take the green flag to start the Monster Energy NASCAR All Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday in Charlotte, North Carolina.

NASCAR shakes up schedule for 2018, adds road course CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR announced several changes to its 2018 schedule Tuesday, including new tracks for the final 11 races of the season.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway will become the 26th race of the Cup season and the final chance to set next year’s playoff field. The race will be run Sept.

9 and not be part of the summer schedule for the first time since it was added to the NASCAR schedule in 1994.

“The Brickyard 400 has been one of NASCAR’s premier events for 25 years, and we’re thrilled the race is moving to one of the most important dates on the NASCAR calendar,” said J. Douglas Boles, IMS president.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway will replace Chicagoland Speedway as the opening event in the 10-race playoff series. Chicago moves to a regular-season race in July.

Richmond International Raceway, which had been the playoff cutoff race since the format debuted in 2004, will move into the playoffs.

Charlotte Motor Speedway’s

playoff race will now be run on the venue’s road course instead of its 1.5-mile oval. It will be the first NASCAR road course race in Charlotte’s 58-year history.

The Charlotte “roval” is a 13turn, 2.4-mile road course that incorporates part of the infield and all but 400 feet of Charlotte’s 1.5-mile oval. Mario Andretti, Jeff Gordon, A.J. Allmendinger, Jeff Burton and Max Papis have all tested the roval.

“Charlotte Motor Speedway has always been about innovation,” said Marcus Smith, president and chief executive officer of Speedway Motorsports Inc. “Hosting the first road course race in NASCAR’s playoffs, as well as the drama of closing out the playoffs’ first round, means that tension will be high and competition will be fierce as soon as the green flag drops.”

The opening three-race playoff round will be Las Vegas-Richmond-Charlotte. The next round will be Dover-Talladega-Kansas. The third round is Martinsville-Texas-Phoenix, with the championship finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 18 exactly nine months

after the season-opening Daytona 500.

The changes dramatically alter the type of tracks in the 10race playoff. There now will be a road course, a restrictor-plate track, two short tracks, two 1-mile tracks and four 1.5-mile tracks.

The season will open Feb. 18 with the showcase Daytona 500, but Daytona International Speedway also is restoring a Speedweeks tradition with the exhibition “Clash” returning to a Sunday afternoon start one week earlier. The Clash will be followed by qualifying for the Daytona 500. The Clash was first held in 1979 and won by Buddy Baker.

The event was on a Sunday from 1979 until 1991. There was a one-year switch to Saturday, then the race returned to Sundays from 1993 until 2002.

In 2003, it moved to a Saturday night start.

“Combining the Clash with qualifying is going to give our fans an outstanding afternoon of NASCAR action,” said Chip Wile, Daytona International Speedway president.

CHICAGO (AP) — Jon Lester pitched a four-hitter for Chicago’s first complete game of the season, and the Cubs beat Johnny Cueto and the San Francisco Giants 4-1 on Tuesday night in a rainy rematch of last year’s playoff opener.

Anthony Rizzo hit a two-run homer as Chicago improved to 5-2 on its nine-game home stand. Kyle Schwarber and Jason Heyward also connected, helping the Cubs bounce back from their 6-4 loss to the Giants on Monday night.

Lester and Cueto hooked up in a memorable pitchers’ duel in Game 1 of the NL Division Series last October, with Chicago winning 1-0 on Javier Baez’s eighth-inning homer.

The Cubs eliminated the Giants in four games and went on to their first World Series title in 108 years.

Lester (3-2) was sharp once again in the low-profile reunion.

Cueto (4-4) was just OK, striking out eight in six innings, but surrendering Chicago’s three homers.

Brandon Crawford doubled in Buster Posey in the fifth, and that was it for the Giants. Lester retired the side in order in the ninth, getting Christian Arroyo to foul out to left on his 99th pitch for the final out.

San Francisco dropped to 3-2 on its seven-game trip to St. Louis and Chicago. It had won eight of 10 overall.

The start of the game was delayed 65 minutes by rain.

After the first four batters struck out, Schwarber drove a 3-2 pitch from Cueto over the bleachers in right and onto Sheffield Avenue for his seventh homer.

Heyward added another solo shot into the basket in right in the second, and Rizzo’s ninth homer made it 4-0 in the fourth.

It was more than enough for Lester, who struck out 10 and walked none in his 15th career complete game.

NFL cuts OT to 10 minutes, opens up end zone celebrations CHICAGO (AP) — NFL owners cut the overtime period from 15 minutes to 10 minutes during the regular season, but also gave players plenty of leeway to celebrate after a touchdown.

The two moves are expected to result in more tie games and much more elaborate end zone dance parties.

“I always planned all my celebrations,” said Denver’s Emmanuel Sanders, already known for his flamboyant TD celebrations, including one that drew a fine last season.

“Now I can go a little overboard without getting cussed out by the head coach.”

At their regularly scheduled spring meeting Tuesday, the owners also decided to shift

the 2021 Super Bowl to Tampa from Los Angeles, where construction delays have pushed back the expected opening of the new home for the Rams and Chargers. Those teams will now host the league’s showcase event in 2022.

Also approved at the meeting was the Oakland Raiders lease for a stadium in Las Vegas, where the team is expected to play the 2020 season.

For all the maneuvering, end zone celebration talk generated the most buzz. After years of limiting how — and how much — players could celebrate following touchdowns, the league decided to loosen up its rules, allowing players to again use the football as a prop, celebrate as a group and

roll around or flap their arms like snow angels on the ground again if they choose.

Even Commissioner Roger Goodell said he was looking forward to seeing what players would do with their newfound freedom of expression.

The shorter overtime period will be used in the preseason and regular season. Playoff games also will use 10-minute time blocks in overtime, but won’t end in ties.

Coaches’ concerns that too many players were exhausted and risking injuries at the end of the extra period was the key factor in the decision.

Research suggests the number of games that will go into overtime and end up tied will climb slightly. Over the past

five years, with the 15-minute period in use, the league has averaged about one tie game each season. Projections show that could climb to three.

Tampa originally finished as runner-up in the bidding for 2020 — one reason why owners backed the move unanimously.

The NFL also would have had to waive a rule that prohibits a Super Bowl being played at a stadium before it has hosted two full regular seasons.

Goodell said the moniker “No Fun League” had been thrown around since he was an intern in the league office.

The league, however, will continue to penalize any celebration deemed offensive or in bad taste.

Indianapolis 500 seeks centennial bump for 101st edition

By Dave Skretta The Associated Press There was a palpable sense of excitement everywhere Doug Boles went a year ago, whether it was the gas station or grocery store or his office on 16th and Georgetown just outside Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Everyone was talking about the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500.

Boles shared in the excitement, too. The president of the speedway seemed to be everywhere at once, shaking hands with some of the estimated 350,000 fans on race day, taking selfies that showed up on all manner of social media and ensuring the centennial edition would be one to remember.

But just below the surface was also an underlying fear: What would happen next year? Would all the buildup to such a milestone event leave many of those fans done for 101?

“We were worried that one of two things could happen,” Boles explained. “People who had been coming for a long time would view the 100th as sort of the end point — they had gotten to the 100th and they were going to do something else, listen to it on the radio, watch it on TV, but weren’t going to come.

“And the other one,” Boles said, “is we knew we’d have a lot of bucket-listers and first-timer people who were coming, and we were hoping that we could get them to come back a second or third time.”

It appears many of those first-timers will indeed be back next weekend.

After strong crowds for qualifying weekend, Boles told The Associated Press that ticket sales are strong to watch Scott Dixon lead the field to green on Sunday. The crowd won’t reach the complete sellout last year, which allowed the local TV blackout to be lifted for the first time since 1950, but it could surpass 250,000 fans, continuing an upward trend that followed years of stagnation.

“Our number on race day is going to end up being better than any race day we’ve had in at least the last 15 years, other than last year,” Boles said. “If you look at 2011 through 2015, we were on a slow-growing trajectory, which we were happy with, and then 2016 obviously was a huge boom. We want to

maintain as much of that lift as we could and we’re really pleased with how much we gained.”

The speedway doesn’t release official attendance numbers, making it difficult to quantify the amount of lift the centennial race gave to the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” At least anecdotally, those who have spent much of May around the racetrack have experienced a similar buzz to last year.

There are more people walking through Gasoline Alley, posing for pictures in front of the Pagoda, and campers have been showing up for days.

“We’ve seen a great amount of interest in the race,” said Graham Rahal, who will start in the middle of the fifth row.

“There’s been a good buzz about it and that’s only going to continue to get better.

Even the Grand Prix, it was packed, maybe double what we had from last year.”

Yes, the momentum from the 100th race carried over to other IndyCar events. The series’ 16 races last year averaged 1.28 million viewers, their highest TV ratings recorded by Nielsen since 2011 — numbers that are noteworthy with Indy 500 broadcast rights up for bidding this year.

Helping the cause of the 101st running are the numerous story lines serving as a backdrop: — Speeds are back after years of temperance. Dixon qualified with a four-lap average of 232.164 mph, the fastest attempt since Arie Luyendyk set the track record of 236.986 in 1996.

— Big names are back, too.

It’s tough to get a feel for it yet.”

Boles thinks he has a feel for it now.

He spends a few minutes every night calling ticketholders, not so much to sell them on anything but simply to touch base. Boles wants to know what people are thinking, what the speedway has done well, where it has fallen short and what it could do better.

“The one thing I’ve heard a lot, especially from people who are 30-plus year attendees of the 500, is they walked into the venue last year and said, ‘That’s why we fell in love with the speedway,’” Boles said. “’We fell in love with it because of the electricity that it had, the number of people it had.’ So at some level, it reaffirmed for them why they love the place so much.”

Baseball Continued from Page 1B sticks going,” Brisel said.

“Trey and Josh threw strikes and with the new pitching rule, that’s what we need from our pitchers.”

Senior Brennen Dodd opened the season with a leadoff single for the Cardinals. Unfortunately, Newton stranded two base runners in the first inning. The Cardinals left four runners on base for the game.

Vance recorded nine strikeouts against the Newton hitters. He retired the Cardinals in order in the second through fifth innings.

Marshalltown plated a run with two gone in the third inning on a single

by Sam Irwin and a double by Vance. The Bobcats added three runs in the fifth and one more in the sixth.

“They used a couple

of really good bunts and had a couple of hits get through the holes in the infield, but no big hits,” Brisel said. “Tyler Stanton made a great diving stop at second base and threw a runner out at first base.”

Vanderlaan worked five innings as the Cardinal starter on the mound.

He took the loss and was charged with four runs on five hits and had three strikeouts. Gulling came on for one inning of work, giving up one run on two hits and one walk.

Juniors Trevor Ergenbright and Jaron Roush each had a base hit.

Newton (0-1) has its home opener Wednesday against Boone. The varsity game is at 7:30 p.m. at Eversman Field in Woodland Park. The junior varsity game’s first pitch is at 5:30 p.m.
