A picturesque day greeted visitors to Newton Union Cemetery for the Memorial Day Service on Monday. Arranged and sponsored by the Jasper County Veterans Council, the ceremony honored those veterans who served valiantly for the United States, some paying the ultimate sacrifice.

Levi Pence, who served as emcee, announced the joint posting of colors by the American Legion Post III, VFW Post 1655 and Jasper County Vietnam Veterans to begin the service. The American Flag, along

with flags representing each branch of the military, the veterans organizations and the state of Iowa were presented by both the posting and the Legion Riders, who stood as a backdrop to the ceremony.

An invocation was given by the Rev. Eldon Pals followed by a rendition of the National Anthem by Elizabeth Pearson.

The featured speaker, retired Brigadier General Fred Chabot, of Newton, then spoke to those who had gathered about his

thoughts on Memorial Day. “This is indeed an honor and a privilege to be asked to deliver the Memorial Day address on such a beautiful day here at Newton Union Cemetery,” Chabot said. “We are primarily gathered here to honor those who gave their life, the supreme sacrifice while serving our country and our state.”

Chabot said it is also a time to think of those who came home from conflicts or their time in the military. Those who lived civilian lives and died having served and lived to enjoy their country years after.

Giggles, screams and splashes are back once again as Maytag Pool opened for the season on Saturday. After weathering the storm, the pool filled up as kids and adults welcomed the beginning of summer.

Featuring zero entry access, water fountains, two water slides, a diving well and six 25 meter lanes, Maytag Pool is a fun summertime family attraction located among the Maytag Bowl, disc golf course and playground in Maytag Park.

“One thing we have new this year is Toddler Swim,” Newton Director of Public Works Keith Laube said. “That is for

parents or guardians and children age 5 and under.”

The new swim time will be at 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Started at the request community members with little ones, the time is available for the toddlers to play in the shallow area, begin to learn how to swim and enjoy the pool on their own.

Toddler Swim is $2 for adults and four and five year olds and free for kids three and under.

Pool passes are also accepted. It will take a two week break from June 19 through June 30 for annual swim lessons.

The pool is also equipped with a new POOL | 3A

Deer crashes ‘They did their job’ Colfax Veterans through insurance Memorial Dedication honors those who served agency building

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

New clients are always welcome at Clemon-Maki Insurance but they usually like them to come during business hours and use the front door.

The agency, 220 First Ave. W., got a surprise guest as a deer crashed through a side window and made its way to the front foyer where it was found early Saturday morning.

“This is the first break

in that has happened,” owner Jeff Maki said. “I got a call of an attempted robbery, then shortly after they told me about the deer.”

The deer entered from the west side of the building through a picture window and into an office before it moved into the front foyer area where it was found.

Maki said it was lucky the foyer area exists or it would have had access to the entire office. Once DEER | 3A

COLFAX — A large crowd gathered on a rainy Saturday to dedicate the new Colfax Veterans Memorial.

The memorial, which features 270 names of veterans from the Colfax area who served in the United States military, sits prominently in Mineral Springs Park on the corner of Walnut Street and Front Street and serves as a beautiful reminder of the sacrifices made for America.

“I absolutely admire every one of you for coming out today to pay homage to a great memorial,” memorial organizer Doug Bishop said.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Tuesday, May 30, the 150th day of 2017. There are 215 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 30, 1922, the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. was dedicated in a ceremony attended by President Warren G. Harding, Chief Justice William Howard Taft and Robert Todd Lincoln.

On this date: In 1431, Joan of Arc, condemned as a heretic, was burned at the stake in Rouen, France.

In 1536, England’s King Henry VIII married his third wife, Jane Seymour, 11 days after the king’s second wife, Anne Boleyn, was beheaded for treason and adultery.

In 1911, the first Indy 500 took place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway; the winner was Ray Harroun, who drove a Marmon Wasp for more than 6 1/2 hours at an average speed of 74.6 mph and collected a prize of $10,000.

In 1943, during World War II, American troops secured the Aleutian island of Attu from Japanese forces.

In 1958, unidentified American service members killed in World War II and the Korean War were interred in the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery.

In 1966, NASA launched Surveyor 1, a probe that made a soft landing on the moon three days later.

In 1997, Jesse K. Timmendequas was convicted in Trenton, N.J., of raping and strangling a seven-year-old neighbor, Megan Kanka, whose 1994 murder inspired “Megan’s Law,” requiring that communities be notified when sex offenders move in. (Timmendequas received a sentence of death that was later commuted to life in prison after New Jersey abolished capital punishment.)

In 2002, a solemn, wordless ceremony marked the end of the agonizing cleanup at ground zero in New York, 8½ months after 9/11.

Ten years ago: The Taliban claimed responsibility for shooting down a Chinook helicopter over southern Afghanistan, killing five U.S. soldiers, a Canadian and a Briton.

Five years ago: A gunman in Seattle fatally shot four people inside a cafe and a fifth victim in a carjacking before killing himself. The National September 11 Memorial and Museum marked the 10th anniversary of the end of cleanup operations at the site with a tribute to recovery workers and first responders.

One year ago: President Barack Obama challenged Americans on Memorial Day to fill the silence from those who died serving their country with love and support for families of the fallen, “not just with words but with our actions.”

That’s Odd German biker loses bag of cash, raining bills on Autobahn BERLIN (AP) — German police say a businessman on a motorcycle lost a plastic bag stuffed with his day’s earnings while driving along a southern highway, sending a shower of cash across the Bavarian Autobahn.

Ingolstadt police said Sunday the 36-year-old had been carrying about 9,000 euros ($10,000) in small bills Saturday night when he lost the bag on the A9 highway.

The man, whose name wasn’t released, stopped his motorcycle and tried to collect the cash himself, and witnesses called police.

Authorities temporarily shut down the stretch of the highway and helped the man collect his cash, but an estimated 1,500 euros was taken away by the wind before it could be recovered, the dpa news agency reported.

ber those who are still coming home from service in the weeks and months ahead.

Caring for those veterans and making sure their medical needs are met is a vital issue, he said, and one to continue to pursue to ensure veterans are treated with the respect and honor they deserve.

Continued from Page 1A “A person who comes to mind, for me, is my own mother, Mary Lucille Chabot,” he said. “She served in the United States Marine Corp, believe it or not, in World War II. We laid her to rest just last month.”

Chabot also charged citizens of the country to not only think of veterans on Memorial Day but to remem-

Colfax Continued from Page 1A Surrounded by flags presented by the Legion Riders, the dedication started with a moving rendition of National Anthem followed by pastor Matt Stuva welcoming those in attendance.

“I want to say thank you to everyone who has served our county in our military forces in the past today, we give you our heartfelt gratitude,” Stuva said. “Heroes are in short supply it seems like in today’s world. But, it also seems like as we look back at the history of America, we see a nation that has had great heroes when the time required it. Great leaders who God used to change the course of our nation, as well as the world. Courageous men and women who lived by principal and valor.

I don’t think there is a greater hero among us than the American soldier.”

Colfax Mayor David Mast gave a background of the memorial, from its beginnings where members of the Colfax Ambulance service and Colfax American Legion started thinking about the idea of a memorial to the dedication itself on Saturday.

“Today, when you look, you see a major portion of the memorial is completed,” Mast said. “The center pillar only has the five branches on it so far, underneath it will be a name plate for Herschel Briles, for Jones and Willis, for James Normal Hall and the fifth wall will be for POWs.” Additional work at the memorial includes two monuments featuring a list of the major donors and the name of the memorial and dedication date. Names

of those who died while fighting in for the country will be added to the memorial and lighting will be completed both inside and outside of the circular memorial.

Mast added there is space for another 270 names on the outside of the memorial and anyone who has interest in adding a brick or donating to the memorial find applications at almost any business in Colfax.

Bishop concluded the ceremony with a speech highlighting the job achieved by each soldier who served.

“Memorials such as this serve as a snapshot of our nation’s military. Every name on this memorial did their job. When each one of their individuals joined their military, they raised their right hand and pledged to defend our country from all enemies foreign and domestic and to obey all orders from the president to their commanding officer. In doing so, some of them placed themselves in harms way,” Bishop said. “It took every name on this memorial to get the job done. Every veteran on this memorial did their job and in doing so made the United States military the most for most fighting force on the Earth bar none. We live in the most free country in the world because each of them did their job.”

Before the crowd dispersed, three rounds of gun shots rang through the air in memory of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice and honoring veterans of every branch and rank for their service to the country.

This isn’t the first time a deer has been around the property. About two years ago, Maki said, a deer got caught behind the building. He also said the neighbor to the east has had deer visit that building, as well.

With the deer being contained to one office and the foyer, the damage was minimal, Maki said.

Other than cleaning up the blood, hair and glass, the office is in good shape.

“We’re looking into getting bars on the windows, not for criminals but for critters,” Maki joked.

The last day of school

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

Editors Note: This column originally published on May 24, 2016. n Friday, both of my daughters had their last day of school. The last day of school for pre-schoolers is a field trip to Blank Park Zoo along with lunch and time to play at a park.

We had been counting down the days until we got to go to the zoo. It isn’t the first or even the fifth time they have been there in their short lives, but you wouldn’t know that by the excitement they showed.

My mom came along with us on the trip, thankfully, to help corral both of the kiddos along with any extras we had

O

with us. The morning started like most mornings, me getting every last second of sleep possible then getting the girls ready in a organized chaos fashion.

As requested, the girls then went to my parents’ house for breakfast. My oldest daughter requested Grandee’s special pancakes, which, I guess are a lot better than mine.

I went home to throw together sack lunches for the girls, which is quite difficult since they have such a limited palate to begin with. I settled on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, oranges, chips and cookies. Not the healthiest but you can’t win all of them.

We met the girls at the zoo after their bus ride there. I’m sure they could fill up column inches on how fantastic it is to ride the bus from the excitement over riding in the thing.

The next hour or so saw us visiting each animal along with the other dozen schools who decided to visit that morning as well. I wish I could say it was a great time had by all, but I was always a little on edge making sure one of my kids didn’t wander off. The girls, of course, made the trip worth it with their genuine excitement over each creature we saw.

The visit ended on a clunk when my oldest took a spill and the world ended because she scraped her hand. We thankfully recovered and sent them on their way to the park where we would eat lunch.

To my surprise, both of the girls gob-

bled down their lunches. I figured with so much activity around them neither would get touched, but I guess they might have worked up an appetite since breakfast.

When they were done, they ran off to play at the impressive playground at Ewing Park. After about an hour of swinging, climbing and sliding, we decided to head home.

I can’t thank the girls’ teachers enough for everything they have done this year. I am constantly amazed with how much they learn and the new ideas and knowledge they bring home after a day at school.

I am always in awe that they not only take care of but teach 20 three and four-year-olds daily. Thanks ladies, you are awesome.

Marrying the Russians The Russians appear to have been wooing President Donald Trump for a while, but Trump’s outraged response to the idea that laws may have been broken indicates that there may have been a secret marriage.

Wooing is nice. Girlfriend is nice. Wife is nice, but wife is a whole different bowl of borscht.

Girlfriend you can get rid of pretty easy, like leaving a newspaper in the back seat of a taxicab.

Wife is not so easy to lose, more like leaving your wallet, your house and your bankbook in the back of a taxicab. Husband is also harder and more expensive to lose than boyfriend.

Girlfriend? You show up one or two nights a week. Bring a pizza. Wife, she tells you she wants pizza, you go out and get pizza. In the snow. With your last $15, because, hey, you married her. I get sick, my wife has to go out and buy cough syrup.

In the snow. With her last $8. At an all-night convenience store in a shaky neighborhood.

You have a friend who doesn’t like your wife.

He says bad things about her. You have to get rid of him. Ray-Ray may be the only guy in the world who will drive you to the airport, but he says bad things about your wife, and he has to go.

It wouldn’t make any difference if Ray-Ray were the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, either. He says bad things about your wife, he has to be sent home.

Right now, the Russians are so far in the White House that Ray-Ray Comey had to be sacrificed for saying bad things about our fur-hatted buddies.

In those “how to spot an abuser” pamphlets, they tell you not to go out with that man or woman who belittles you, restricts your contact with others and drives away your friends and family.

It’s damn good advice, too. That road only goes in one direction. It goes to the emergency room.

Sometimes, it goes to the cemetery, but it stops at the emergency room first.

Next thing you know, he’s listening to your phone calls, he’s gotta know everything you know, and God forbid you should go out for a cup of coffee with your old buddy, the Constitution.

Right now, Donald Trump is cowering under his desk, afraid Vladimir Putin is going to come home drunk again.

And if Vlad does, you can bet Donald will put makeup on the bruise and go to work the next day like nothing happened. That’s if it not the weekend, in which case Donald will put makeup on the bruise and go play golf.

The rest of us? We’re the kids. We know something’s wrong. In Russia, they locked the whole population in the closet and told ‘em they better not cry. In America, they let us play with guns.

We still know something is wrong.

Some of us think it’s fine because Vladimir is white. At least Donald didn’t hook up with that Black Lives Matter crowd, or a Mexican.

There’s a bright spot, though.

You know those “how to spot an abuser” pamphlets? The government’s gonna cut funding, so those won’t be printed anymore.

Good thing, too. Those pamphlets distracted the abused from their many opportunities to be happy through total subordination of their identity. They also distracted women from the twin goals of birthin’ white babies and showing their legs on Fox News.

Anyway, what you don’t know can’t hurt you, and what you don’t have a name for isn’t really there.

Thank God, because Donald doesn’t want the neighbors to know what’s going on. He’d be so ashamed.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Saving America’s great places I’m writing this from Yellowstone National Park. Established in 1872, this was our first National Park. The world’s first, in fact.

In an interesting window into how politics worked then (and now, arguably), Congress agreed to preserve this land only after being assured that it was entirely “worthless.”

Of course, that was an utter lie. But for once in our nation’s history, lying in politics did some good.

The real value of this park wasn’t known then, you see. Nobody knew that it set a precedent for the establishment of an entire National Park system that would encompass a network of public lands across the country.

Nobody knew yet that the animals on this land would become rare outside it — and might’ve been lost for good if they weren’t allowed to roam free here.

For that matter, nobody would know for a long time to come that predators are important to ecosystems. Even after the establishment of many National Parks and the protection of wildlife therein, park personnel actively killed predators within the parks’ borders.

And yet, yesterday I saw a wolf and a grizzly, both wild apex predators. Not in a zoo.

And I saw them at close range.

It was the experience of a life-

Another View Jill Richardson time.

Other National Parks haven’t had such an easy path to preservation.

Creating a National Park requires an act of Congress.

The Grand Canyon, the Great Smoky Mountains, the Grand Tetons, and many, many other beloved parks, even once identified as places to preserve for the enjoyment of all Americans, didn’t immediately receive such protection.

Far too often, individuals see our nation’s great places as opportunities for private profit.

Loggers attempted to cut down every possible tree in the Great Smoky Mountains before they were shut out when it became a National Park. Entire populations of birds in Florida were killed to provide feathers for women’s hats before their habitat was protected. And a U.S. senator opposed turning the Grand Canyon into a National Park because he wanted to personally profit from the natural wonder.

When Congress won’t act to protect our country’s most beautiful and valuable places, the

president can do it with just the stroke of a pen.

Yet right now, Donald Trump is on track to throw away part of our national heritage. He’s ordered a review of all National Monuments created since 1996, and may well remove some to make way for mining corporations and other extractive industries to operate there.

The monuments on Trump’s hit list include the San Gabriel mountains in Southern California, where hikers from Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego all converge for exercise and recreation in a breathtakingly beautiful place, and Carrizo Plain, also in California, which experienced a super bloom that drew wildflower enthusiasts from all over this past spring.

A great many beloved National Parks were National Monuments first: the Grand Canyon, Chaco Canyon, Olympic, Death Valley, Joshua Tree, the Grand Tetons, and more.

The story of our National Parks and Monuments is a triumph of the interests of all Americans over the private interests of the few.

If you love our country’s wild places and want your grandchildren to have the opportunity to visit them, you can visit Regulations.gov to tell the government you want our National Monuments preserved.

Family’s disapproval stops woman from opening up

DEAR ABBY: I’m a pansexual female and open about it with my friend and also my brother. The rest of my family is super Christian. I tried to bring up the “gay” word, but they’re all against it and have strong opinions about the subject.

I just want to feel accepted for who I am, and not keep anything from them. I need your opinion on when I should tell them — or should I just not tell them at all? Your help would be appreciated. — PANSEXUAL IN THE USA DEAR PANSEXUAL: According to Wikipedia, the definition of pansexuality is “the sexual, romantic or emotional attraction toward people regardless of their sex or gender identity.” While it may be empowering for you to disclose this information, it should be clear to you that your family — with the exception of your brother — is not open to hearing it. Respect that.

However, you are free to live your life, so live it and be happy. You do not need their approval and you shouldn’t let their approval — or lack thereof — affect how you live.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I own a coloring business. We color unicorns and rainbows and other pictures.

They are beautiful and sell well.

Recently, my mother-in-law started begging us to let her join our team.

Abby, I’m sure she would do fine and that she could color within the lines, but we do not need any help.

My husband suggested hiring her to run errands — to buy crayons and coloring books, perhaps — but I doubt she would be satisfied with that. I love our company as it is now. What do you think we should do? — COLORING FOR YOU DEAR C.F.Y.: Because you love your company “as it is now,” do not hire your mother-in-law to fill a job that

doesn’t need filling. To do so would be a recipe for disaster, because getting rid of her would cause lasting hard feelings. Instead, you and your husband should explain that “the company” doesn’t need another colorist right now, and see if you can help her find a part-time job elsewhere if she needs money or has time to fill.

DEAR ABBY: We recently lost a beloved family member. My question is, how long do I wait before we deactivate his email and Facebook accounts? Some people say immediately, or wait a year. Others have said to leave them active indefinitely.

Do I need to send a message to his Facebook friends in advance? Also, would it be offensive or tacky if I downloaded pictures from his Facebook account and cellphone before we deactivate everything? There are some pictures of my nieces and nephews I would like to keep. — HOW LONG DO I WAIT? DEAR HOW LONG: There are no hard and fast rules covering a situation like this. Some people deactivate the accounts immediately. Others leave them live indefinitely. However, you might wish to post a comment to the effect that, “For those friends who might not know, our beloved ‘Joe’ passed away on (date of death).”

1 Authorities: Girl hurt in 60-foot fall at Iowa state park

DUNDEE — Authorities say an 8-yearold girl has been injured after falling 60 feet at a state park in eastern Iowa.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources said in a news release that the girl was hiking with friends and family Sunday afternoon at Backbone State Park when she fell. Department spokesman Alex Murphy said Monday that the girl may have been jumping from rock to rock and then slipped, plunging down a steep embankment.

3 Preschool teacher donating kidney to student’s father

Businessman intends to plead guilty to new charges

MASON CITY — A northern Iowa preschool teacher has been cleared to donate a kidney to a student’s father.

Nancy Bleuer, 54 who lives in Clear Lake, learned last fall that Darreld Peterson was undergoing dialysis and needed a transplant. His son, Camden, was in her class at Washington Charlie Brown Preschool in Mason City.

She wanted to help.

“I do believe what you do comes back to you,” she said.

CEDAR RAPIDS — Court records say a northeast Iowa businessman already convicted of failing to pay employment taxes intends to plead guilty to new federal charges.

The records say a plea hearing in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids is scheduled June 5 for Darrell Smith. The charges: mail and wire fraud, money laundering and theft. Smith was sentenced in December to 13 months in prison for payroll tax fraud.

Firefighters unable to find man spotted in river DES MOINES — Authorities say rescue crews have been unable to find a man spotted in the Des Moines River. Des Moines firefighters recovered a boat the man was seen using Monday afternoon. Fire Inspector Brian O’Keefe says the man had pulled the boat from debris upstream from the Scott Street Bridge. He somehow became separated from the boat when he reached the bridge and went over the dam.

Once an unlikely candidate, Reynolds embraces new job DES MOINES (AP) — As a onetime county office worker in rural Iowa, Republican Kim Reynolds insists she never saw herself running for office, much less serving as governor.

But after a mid-career political surge and the appointment of mentor Terry Branstad as U.S. ambassador to China, the former legislator and lieutenant governor acknowledges growing more comfortable with her ascent Wednesday to the state’s top job.

In fact, she was even somewhat envious watching Branstad sign landmark legislation in the just-ended session, the first in nearly 20 years in which Republicans controlled the House, Senate and governor’s office.

“I was kind of hoping, as we watched the bills go back and forth, that — gosh — I’d really like to sign that one,” Reynolds recently told a Republican county dinner in western Iowa.

The 57-year-old former Clarke County treasurer has come full circle, having stood by Branstad for six years, and now in the role of his chosen successor, with the groundwork in place to run for the office herself next year.

Iowa city plans to remove 2 dams, improve river access FORT DODGE (AP) — Iowa officials hope to improve access to the Des Moines River with a plan that includes the removal of two dams.

Fort Dodge city officials and Webster county officials held an open house Wednesday to review the Des Moines River and Lizard Creek Water Trails and Corridor Plan.

Chad Schaeffer is the city’s director of engineering, business affairs and community growth. The two dams will be removed in the next two years, he said. Removal will be funded by about $2 million from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources clean water program and another $2 million from Fort Dodge’s capital improvements plan, Schaeffer said.

The plan also entails removing some trees and bushes around the river, adding a bike trail system, and adding handicap accessibility.

“Overall when you look at this entire plan, from dam removal, access to the river, fishing, taking out another small dam further north on Lizard Creek, you start developing the riverfront,” he said.

Another important aspect is taking care of the environment, Schaeffer said.

“We have erosion issues,” he said.

“We have farmers farming right to the river edge. We need to put in some buffer strips and protect our environment. There is multifaceted goals with this project.”

The final report will be reviewed by city council in the coming weeks.

AP Photo In this file photo, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad laughs with Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, right, during his weekly news conference at the Statehouse in Des Moines.

Reynolds was sworn in Wednesday, two days after Branstad was confirmed by the Senate for the ambassadorship.

With guidance from the nation’s longest-serving governor, she has established a political base and feverishly studied policy in preparation for the role she would have never seen coming, but now embraces.

“I’m proud of what we’ve been able to do over these last six years,” Reynolds told about 100 Pottawattamie County GOP activists during a recent event.

“I didn’t set out to run for office; I actually never thought I would.”

That was after Reynolds left college without a degree; marrying, raising three daughters and, only then, looking to a career of her own.

Reynolds, however, says she quickly saw herself as up to the task of governor, after rising over the past 10 years from Clarke County treasurer, to state senator to one office away from the governorship in the Iowa Capitol.

“I was six months on

the job when the governor turned to me,” she recalled in an Associated Press interview last week. It was 2011 and western Iowa had been hit with disastrous flooding as the divided Legislature was deadlocked in budget talks. Branstad was scheduled to lead a trade mission to China and South Korea.

“I need you to do it,” she recalled Branstad telling her.

If that newfound goal was to be governor, she also squeezed in time to finish her undergraduate degree.

I think it’s an exciting thing for the city.”

Nearly 50 bells make up a four-octave carillon that can be programed to play melodies or played by hand. All of the bells will hang outside on top of the bell tower. The Jefferson bell tower is one of two open-air carillons in the country.

The heaviest bell weighs more than 3,000 pounds. A study was conducted to ensure the structure could handle the additional weight, said Greene County engineer Wade Weiss.

“I’m looking forward to playing it,” said Jefferson resident Keri Brooker. “(But) I’m a little worried about it because if you make a mistake, the whole town is going to hear your mistake.”

JEFFERSON (AP) — A wellknown Iowa bell tower will soon be ringing for the first time in more than 30 years.

A $440,000 renovation project on the Mahanay Bell Tower in Jefferson is expected to finish next week, just in time for the city’s 37th annual Bell Tower Festival in June. The project refurbished existing bells and added 30 more.

The bell tower had been in disrepair since the 1980s and had been playing recordings instead of actually ringing.

“For years they’ve talked about getting all the bells up there and making it real,” said Jefferson resident Gordon Moen. “Now, with all the bells going up, there is going to be a keyboard

I had no idea I was in the midst of a severe heart attack.

I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE SKIFF ER SAVED MY LIFE.

– Susan Murphy, with Skiff Emergency Department nurses Sara Nunez and Jenesah Denney

M

any would describe a tropical vacation as a dream. But for Susan Murphy, a

registered nurse at Skiff Medical Center, it was proving to be a nightmare.

“I was sitting on the beach in Mexico when I started noticing strange discomfort,”

Susan said. “I’d get severe pain in my neck when I’d eat. It radiated through my jaws,

ears and tongue. I had some shortness of breath. I also had off-and-on pain in the center

of my back, in a spot as small as a thumbprint. I thought maybe I was having an allergic

reaction.”

Susan returned from her trip in the early hours of Tuesday and went right to bed. When

she awoke, she was almost too weak to get up. With the neck pain persisting, she opted

to go to the Emergency Department at Skiff Medical Center.

“Wouldn’t you know, my symptoms went away as soon as I got to the ER,” she said. “I

the check-in desk and let them know what I’d been experiencing.”

of her presentation. “Women tend to present cardiac symptoms differently,” said

emergency nurse Sara Nunez. “When she spoke of jaw and back pain, we immediately

suspected a heart attack.”

Testing quickly showed that Susan was experiencing ST-Elevation Myocardial

Infarction, or STEMI, a serious heart attack in which a major heart artery is blocked. In

Susan’s case, that blockage was nearly total, at 99 percent. The Skiff team immediately

transferred Susan to Mercy Medical Center – Des Moines, where a cath team was in

place and ready to provide life-saving intervention.

The goal for a STEMI patient at Skiff is to have no more than 120 minutes elapse between

presenting at the ER and being treated. For Susan, it was much quicker, clocking in at

93 minutes.

“It is our job to move fast in critical situations,” said emergency nurse Jenesah Denney.

“Time is muscle, and speed helps prevent major damage to the heart.”

“I have significant family history of heart attacks,” Susan said. “Both of my grandfathers

died at the age of 50. But I was still in major denial that it could happen to me. I’m so

grateful the Skiff ER was here and so impressed at the level of care. I wouldn’t be here

without them. These girls just rocked it for me.”

Cardinal doubles team ready for 1A state

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Balance is an important component on the tennis court for doubles team competition.

Newton High’s senior Megan Pressgrove and junior Bethany Baumgartner found that balance and it paid off with a trip to the 2017 Iowa Class 1A State Tennis Tournament.

“They work well together because they are so strong as individual players. They are two of the toughest competitors I’ve every worked with,” Newton head girls’ tennis coach Erick Zehr said. “They are smart on the court. They fit each other’s play style along with having different personalities and strengths to balance each other on the court.”

Pressgrove and Baumgartner open 1A state doubles action at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Complex in Iowa City.

Their first match is against Shenadoah senior Marilyn Cepeda and freshman Nichole Gilbert.

Ames defeats Newton

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News AMES — Two innings did in Newton High’s Cardinals Friday night.

Ames’ Little Cyclones recorded their first win on their new softball field while handing the Cardinals their first loss of the season.

Ames scored three runs in the first inning and three more in the fourth on its way to a 6-2 victory. Newton pushed across two runs in the seventh frame.

“We got ourselves in a hole in the first inning and in the fourth inning.

We couldn’t get ourselves out of it with only three hits, and we had two defensive errors,” Newton head coach Kristina McNew said.

After falling behind 6-0, Newton had a rally going in the top of the seventh inning. Junior Taylor Ryan drew a leadoff walk and junior Mackenzie Johnson reached on an error. The runners moved up to third and second, respectively, on a wild pitch.

With two gone, junior Harlie Durr delivered a two-run base hit. That was all the Cardinals could muster.

Senior Bailey Davis and sophomore Rilee Slycord each had a single.

Ames scored on five singles with two gone in the first inning. In the fourth, Ames had another four singles and a walk to plate three runs.

Newton starting pitcher sophomore Peyton Maher was charged with six runs on 10 hits and had three strikeouts. Sophomore Anna Coyle pitched two hitless shutout innings in relief and had one strikeout.

Newton (2-1) opens Little Hawkeye Conference play at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at home against Dallas Center-Grimes. Action starts at 5:30 p.m. with the junior varsity game followed by the varsity at Berg Middle School.

Newton’s junior varsity beat Ames, 6-2.

PCM’s Boell cools to 25th after red-hot first round

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Dayton Boell hits one of his irons on the par 72 Lakeside Municipal Golf Course in Fort Dodge on Saturday during the second round of the Class 2A boys state golf tournament. Boell shot a 72 on Friday and was in a tie for fourth heading into the final round but fell back to 25th after firing an 84 on Saturday.

FORT DODGE — Coming into the Class 2A boys state golf tournament, Prairie City-Monroe junior Dayton Boell’s name wouldn’t have been mentioned when it came to predicting the top-seven finishers.

Boell came into the state tournament with an 18-hole average of 82.10. That ranked outside of the top 50 in 2A. Not even Boell predicted he would turn in a first-round card that showed a personal-best score by four shots.

Boell’s first-round score of 72 put the Mustang junior in the mix for a state championship and in the top two groups for Saturday’s final round. Unfortunately, Boell couldn’t keep his momentum on the final 18 holes and he cooled off enough to finish in a tie for 25th after coming into the final day tied for fourth.

“I don’t think it gets any better than that,” said PCM coach Dale Vander Linden, who was coaching a golfer at the state meet for the first time in his coaching career. “He was at the state meet on a course he has never played before and shot a 72.

He shot really well (Friday), and I think he was nervous today and it showed a little bit.”

Boell began the final day of competition in a top-two group but his driver let him down Saturday. His card was filled with mostly bogeys STATE GOLF | 3B

The Hawks broke the 3-all tie, producing two runs after two were out in the fourth.

Freshman Bray Noun Harder singled and Caden Dunsbergen had an RBI double. He came around to score on an error.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STORY CITY — Senior Brady Kemp hit his first home run of the season and then broke a 1-all tie with a double in the sixth inning during the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter baseball team’s 5-2 win over Roland-Story on Friday during Heart of Iowa Conference play.

Newton squad places fifth in final trap shoot of regular season

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Brooke Gifford shoots at a home meet this season for the Newton Trap Team. She’s been the team’s top female shooter all season. Gifford took sixth in the senior female division at Saturday’s final trap shoot of the regular season at Searsboro.

Doubles Continued from Page 1B in the regional semifinal match, I realized about halfway through this was the match to go to state and I got nervous. We focused and won then it was a relief.”

The Cardinal duo clinched a 1A state tournament berth with a 6-2, 6-0 semifinal win over Oskaloosa’s Macy Scharff and Josie Bunnell.

In the regional championship match, Pressgrove and Baumgartner lost 6-3, 6-2 to Pella’s Bronwyn Metcalf and Cecily Johnson.

“Going to a state tournament is everybody’s goal. I always thought state was for the really, really good players and thought I don’t know if I can get there,” Baumgartner said. “This year I was working hard to make it. I’m so excited to go with Megan. We make a good team.”

Baumgartner said Pressgrove’s strengths are her serves and “she’s a monster at the net.” She said Pressgrove is very consistent in her play.

“My strengths are I’m pretty good at the net also, and my volleying to put shots away. We both have solid backhands. She’s a lefty and I’m a righty which really is a good balance. We’re both really competitive and won’t give up,” Baumgartner said.

Mustangs Continued from Page 2B the four runs and had a stolen base.

Sophomores Brayton Van Dyke and Reed Worth each had one hit and one RBI each, sophomore Preston Van Wyk and senior Braden Phifer each had a hit and scored a run and senior Ethan Thomas chipped in a hit and a walk.

Senior Chase Kuecker walked twice, and Worth walked once, too.

Junior Noah Henkenius took the loss on the mound after allowing six runs — four earned — on seven hits and two walks,

Both Newton players had strong singles seasons this year as Newton’s top two players. Each lost one regular-season match in singles play.

As a doubles team, Pressgrove and Baumgartner’s only loss was in the regional championship match.

“We’ll be working on cleaning up small parts of our game and just communicating even better on the court as we prepare for the state tournament,” Pressgrove said.

The 1A top-seeded doubles team is the defending champions Waterloo Columbus’ senior Laren McManus and sophomore Taylor Hogan.

The No. 2 seed is Camanche’s senior Page Edens and sophomore Natalie Goble.

If the Newton pair wins its opening match Thursday, it could face the Camanche duo, if it beats Estherville-Lincoln Central’s sophomores Kendall Evans and Joise Condon. Also in Newton’s side of the state bracket is No. 3 seeded Waverly-Shell Rock’s senior Chelsea Poesch and junior Madi Overmann.

The No. 4 seed is Davenport Assumption’s senior Erin McGivern and junior Sydney Johnson.

The Iowa state trap shoot is June 9-16 at Cedar Falls. On June 17 is the state sporting clays competition at Oskaloosa followed by the state skeet shoot on June 2425 at Waukee.

State Golf Continued from Page 1B (12) on his way to a 12-over-par 84. His twoday score was a 156.

“I just couldn’t get off the tees today,” Boell said.

“That made me struggle to get up to the green on most holes.”

Boell carded five birdies on the front nine during his career-best round of 72 on Friday. His best round coming into the weekend was a 76.

“Yesterday was a lot of fun. That was the most fun I ever had golfing,” Boell said. “Everything was going straight, I hit my wedges tight and not much was going wrong.”

Even with a 12-stroke difference from one day to the next, Boell and Vander Linden still had some perspective.

“I didn’t expect to be tied for fourth at the start of the day. I was just happy to be here. It was a great experience,” Boell said. “Today makes me mad, but if you average it out between the two days, it’s a 78, and I will take that on any given day.”

Vander Linden added, “He really done well. If you look at it, he averaged a 78 per round. That’s better than the season average by four shots. That was darn good. I am very proud of him.”

New Hampton senior Carter Stochl won the 2A title with a two-day score of 140. He followed up his first-day 72 with a four-under-par 68 on Day 2. Both scores were well below his season average of 75.86. He entered the weekend with the ninth-best scoring average in 2A. Panorama senior Will Babcock shot a 72-70 for a 142 to finish in a tie for second. Aplington-Parkersburg sophomore Dylan Ellis came into the week-

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Dayton Boell did the best he could with this tough shot during the latter stages of his final round at the Class 2A boys state golf tournament at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course on Saturday.

end with the top average in 2A, and he was one of two players tied with Babcock in second.

Ryan Ruzek also shot a 142. He came into the tournament with the 14th best average of 76.70.

The leader after the first day was Sheldon junior Tyler Merley. He shot a 68 on Friday to lead by four

shots heading into the final round. He shot a 76 on Day 2 to finish fifth.

Boell’s 156 was tied with Carroll Kuemper senior Jacob Schleisman. Eight non-seniors finished ahead of Boell.

Iowa routs Northwestern for first B1G tourney title BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Iowa achieved another milestone in the baseball rebuilding project Rick Heller started four years ago.

Drake Robison held Northwestern to one run in seven innings, Jake Adams homered twice, and the Hawkeyes won the Big Ten Tournament for the first time with a 13-4 victory over upstart Northwestern on Sunday.

The fifth-seeded Hawkeyes (38-20) earned the Big Ten’s automatic NCAA bid and will make their second appearance in the national tournament in three years.

The Hawkeyes had two winning seasons from 1997-

2013. They’ve had four straight under Heller, an Iowa native and one of five active coaches to lead three Division I programs to an NCAA regional.

“Year 1, we had a group of guys who made a decision that things were going to change,” Heller said. “They set the tone and carried it over to the next year, and those guys took it the next step, and this group did even more.”

Robison (4-2), a senior used mostly as a reliever, limited seventh-seeded Northwestern to four hits and struck out six in the longest outing of his career. Robison, who sat out last year after transferring from

Mississippi, lasted just one inning in his previous start, May 16 against Omaha. Sunday, he struck out the side in the first inning and left in the seventh with a 6-1 lead.

Adams homered in the seventh and eighth innings to increase his total to 27, tied with Morehead State’s Niko Hulsizer for the national lead.

Freshman Matt Gannon (0-4) didn’t make it out of the first inning as Iowa took a 5-0 lead.

“Once we put up five, I basically said I would throw a bunch of strikes and get as many groundballs as possible,” Robison said.

Northwestern (27-30) won

eight of its last 10 and finished with 12 more wins than a year ago. The Wildcats, who haven’t won a conference baseball title since 1957, were in the tournament final for the first time since 1984.

For Iowa, the title is its first in baseball since the Hawks won the Big Ten regular-season championship in 1990.

The Hawkeyes made it to the tournament championship game last year, but lost 8-7 to Ohio State. Heller brought back only six seniors, but he added the slugging Adams, a junior-college transfer who planned to go to North Dakota before the Fighting Hawks program was cut after

last season.

Adams, the Big Ten player of the year, hit .118 through the Hawkeyes’ first four games in Bloomington. He reached base five times against Northwestern, singling twice and walking before going deep on his last two at-bats.

With Adams struggling, sophomore leadoff batter Chris Whelan kept the Hawkeyes’ offense chugging, and he was selected Most Outstanding Player. He homered twice and reached base seven times in the first two games.

He doubled and reached three times Saturday in the 7-5, 13-inning win over Minnesota that sent Iowa to the final.

Astrograph

This dramatic Leo moon features impactful wonders.

Maybe that awestruck feeling won’t come right away. It may take years before it creeps up on you -- that moment of profound understanding that you’ve seen something truly magnificent. Regardless of how long the realization takes to find you, the inspiration will hit this evening.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 30). The walls come crumbling down in this solar return. You want to connect with people, and you want to live without limits. These things will happen! Don’t let anyone (including you) define you in a way that constricts your identity.

Professional goals will be met in September. November brings more financial winnings. Aries and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 22, 29 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You want to go on adventures, but you also realize that each adventure has its cost. There’s a dollar amount and an energetic amount to be settled. Today’s adventure will be worth the price of admission.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The depth of a loss is measured by how long it takes you to get over it. This is a highly personal equation. What one person shrugs off another car-

ries around for years. You can expect everyone’s healing pace to be different.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Sound of mind, sound of body -- what more could you ask for? Sure, you can think of a few other things you might like to request. But is that the right thing to do? Give, give, and give more. The sun is in your sector, and generosity is your nature.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

To flatter isn’t always to put yourself in a lower position.

After all, it takes one to know one. And a little more on the subject: Doing the opposite is also a form of imitation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The tone of a thing will be much more important than what the

thing does or is. The representation is what will matter.

This isn’t right; it’s just what’s happening.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

When you see something that’s inconsistent with your belief system, by your definition it’s absurd. Yet you might find yourself doing that very thing -- which is equally absurd. And there’s really nothing wrong with either.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Progress is a hard thing to nail down, because who knows which nuisance is better than the last? You’ll figure it out.

Some praise will come to you on the matter, not that it will mean much, since you’ve an agenda beyond all that.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You do not strive to be generous in order to satisfy a social quota. You give what you feel like giving. That’s honest. The special charisma that swirls around you today has a lot to do with that honesty.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Neglect is an underused concept. Use it now. Problems fade from neglect. Ignore them and they go away. Maybe they were never problems to begin with, merely situations, or even non-issues. Buh-bye.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s something a little weird afoot. You think, “I don’t have time for this!” But then “this” is all you’re doing. Well, that means “this” is important to your development as a person.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Transitions are precarious parts of life, represented in big happenings and also in the day to day. Be tender to those in the middle stages, as they are particularly vulnerable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The call of duty -- some dread it. But to you, this is an entry point. You like to go beyond the call of duty, in fact. Going beyond the call is your aim in many regards these days.

Takuma Sato wins the 2017 Indy 500 Dixon walks away from major crash INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The motorsports critics kept saying Andretti Autosport was stretching itself too thin by fielding an audacious six entries for the 101st running of the Indianapolis 500.

Good thing Michael Andretti doesn’t listen to the critics.

Four of those entries combined to lead 95 of the 200 laps Sunday, and Takuma Sato held off Helio Castroneves to give the team owner his third win in fourth years.

“I think we’re a happy team,” Sato said with a smile.

Yes, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Fernando Alonso had their chances go up in smoke along with their Honda engines.

Marco Andretti lost a wing piece that cost him. Jack Harvey caught some debris that forced his car, a partnership with Michael Shank Racing, back to Gasoline Alley.

But that only happened after Hunter-Reay led 28 laps, second only to Max Chilton, and Alonso had been in front for 27. Alexander Rossi also led 23 laps while trying to defend his surprising title from a year ago, and finished a respectable seventh to prove it was not a fluke.

“I feel really bad for Ryan.

I feel really bad for Fernando.

Fernando drove a really good race for his first time here.

I feel really bad for Alex, as well, because he had a bad pit stop,” Michael Andretti said.

“But that’s why we had six bullets in the gun, right? One of them came through.”

It was the fifth Indy 500 win for Andretti teams, moving past A.J. Foyt and Chip Ganassi into a tie for second with Lou Moore for most among owners. Roger Penske is the runaway leader with 16.

“You know, somebody said that to me when we were down in victory lane. I’m like, ‘Whoa, that’s a big deal,’” Andretti said. “Obviously I

couldn’t ever win it as a driver. I said this a few years ago, maybe I was meant to win it a ton of times as an owner.

Maybe when I’m 80 years old, hopefully I’ll have more wins than Roger. That’s our goal.”

Besides the dominance of Andretti, here are some of the other takeaways from the Indy 500: Scary Wreck: Scott Dixon escaped serious injury when his car catapulted over Jay Howard’s car early in the race. Dixon’s car landed on the inside retaining wall and exploded into pieces, but the 2008 race winner was able to walk away with only a limp.

Still, the crash was startling for French driver Sebastien Bourdais. He returned to the track on Sunday, just over a week after fracturing his pelvis, hip and ribs in his own horrific crash.

“As soon as Dixon crashed, I really got scared,” Bourdais said.

“I really didn’t need to see those kinds of images and it was a bit too much, to be honest.”

Honda Power: The winning engine manufacturer felt validated when Sato reached victory lane. Honda has watched numerous engines fail this season, including James Hinchcliffe’s on Carb Day, and the

three more that lost power Sunday threatened to put a damper on the afternoon.

“That is sometimes the price that must be paid for gains in performance,” said Art. St. Cyr, president of Honda Performance Development. “We clearly had speed all month, by any objective measurement. We definitely had some very well-perform-

ing engines in today’s race.”

Davison Drives to Front: James Davison hopped into Bourdais’ car and, with just two practice days at his disposal, still managed to drive his Dale Coyne Racing entry to the front of the field.

He was caught up in a late wreck, but Davison proved he was deserving of an Indy 500 ride.

Rookies Rule: One year after Rossi won as a rookie, Ed Jones nearly made it two straight. He had trouble early when he ran over debris and needed to change his rear wing, but he battled back to the front of the field in the closing laps. He wound up finishing third.

“I damaged my front wing, had a big hole in it. My legs got pretty cold, to be honest,” he said. “I had wind blowing into them like crazy, and it created a lot of drag. That made it difficult. I couldn’t pull up to the leaders. We lacked that straight line speed for the last laps.”

So, About Alo: The twotime F1 champion had a car capable of winning, but Alonso took the blown engine that cost him a chance in stride.

He appreciated the unique chance to race the Indy 500 and hopes to one day return, even if he returns to the Monaco Grand Prix next year.

“I didn’t know if I can be as quick as anyone in an Indy car,” he said. “You lead just one lap here, it was already a nice feeling. I was passing, watching the tower, saw the 29 on top of it. I was thinking at that moment if Zak (Brown, McLaren’s team principal) or someone from the team was taking a picture, because I want that picture at home.”

Dillon joins pack of NASCAR young guns on the rise CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — The horde of 20-somethings and teenagers like Chase Elliott, Erik Jones and William Byron poised to take over NASCAR seems to grow larger every week. It might be time to add an older name in Austin Dillon to the “Who’s next?” breakout list.

Dillon, a NASCAR veteran at 27, pulled off a stunning upset at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday night, staying out of the pit on the final laps to make up ground and capture the Coca Cola 600 with established winners Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. charging hard. Dillon had enough fuel to last to the checkered flag after sweeping past out-of-gas Jimmie Johnson two laps from the end.

The win gave Dillon his first trophy in the Cup series, brought the iconic No. 3 back to Victory Lane for the first time in 17 years and gave a boost to the team owned by his grandfather, Hall of Famer Richard Childress. Did it also put Dillon front and center among the next wave of racers supplanting retired or departing stars like Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards and, after this season, Dale Earnhardt Jr.?

Dillon is not sure.

“It’s all about performance. Those guys are performing, so they’re going to talk about them,” Dillon said. “I knew we could do it, we’ve just got to do it more consistently. When we do, they’ll talk about us, too.”

Dillon’s performance at Charlotte had lots of people talking.

His new crew chief, Justin Alexander, saw no other strategy for Dillon at the end than to stay out while most other contenders pitted with 35

laps or so left. No one, Alexander reasoned, would outrun Truex’s car with fresh tires and lots of gas, so their best chance was to not give up position.

It was a gutsy move from Alexander, helming his first race with Dillon after being tapped for the job last Monday.

“That was a hell of a call, Justin,” Childress said, smiling.

Childress made some difficult calls to get here, as well. Two of the biggest were backing Austin in the No. 3 car that last took the checkered flag with the late Dale Earnhardt driving at Talladega in 2000. Childress heard critics pick apart his grandson’s skills and demeanor the past four seasons, with some claiming it was an embarrassment to sit him in the

same numbered car that Earnhardt led to six of seven championships.

“I want to meet some of them in the parking lot,” said Childress, sounding like a protective granddad.

While there’s a long way for Dillon’s team to go, the win heartened everyone that better, more winning days, could be ahead. The victory most likely locks Dillon into the 16-team playoff at the end of the season for a second straight year. And it gives the team the rest of the regular season to test setups and packages that might succeed in those final 10 races.

“That’s pretty cool,” Dillon said.

It might also put him near the top of the pack for a younger group of NA-

SCAR fans looking for a charismatic, fast-moving star to latch onto. With so many past champions and celebrated drivers leaving the series, Dillon understands that to rebuild the fan base, spectators must connect with the drivers they follow, so much so that they’ll block off a Saturday night or Sunday to spend at a track.

Dillon knows he took a major step toward that and brought together all fans of Earnhardt’s No. 3 with his win in Charlotte.

“I think it shows he deserved to be in the 3,” Childress said.

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series moves to Dover International Speedway next Sunday.
