NPD to hold summer Youth Police Academy

NHS students, community leaders push for Sewer Creek name change

If approved by federal agency, creek will be called Cardinal Creek

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News Sewer Creek starts just west of Newton High School and meets South Skunk River near Highway 14. The creek’s name is far from flattering, but unfortunately, the name is somewhat fitting. According to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Sewer Creek has remained in a state of despair for decades.

In order to generate public awareness and im-

prove water quality, Advanced Placement (AP) biology and chemistry students at NHS, along with encouragement from the DNR, are pushing to rename the creek to Cardinal Creek.

They already have support from the City of Newton and the Newton Community School District. The final hurdle to get the name changed is approval from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), which is the federal agency that officially

Salvation Army thrift store continues to rely on staff, volunteers

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News Shoppers hunting for a bargain are sure to find a great deal at the Jasper County Salvation Army’s thrift shop and will support their local Salvation Army in the process.

Major Mikey Carter said the thrift store continues to receive daily donations and enthusiastic shoppers. Located at 114 E. Third Street N., the store offers clothing in sizes for infants to adults.

For more than 125 years the operation of the thrift store has been possible through employees and volunteers. Carter said the store current-

ly has two full-time staff members, five part-time staff members and an ever-changing number of volunteers.

“We always need more volunteers in the sorting area,” Carter said.

In the rear of the store are two large rooms meant for storing and organizing items, a task that Anne Tappendick knows very well. Trash bags of clothes, hats, toasters and picture frames are just a few items that clutter the room.

Tappendick said she enjoys working at the thrift store because of all the unique items she sees ARMY | 3A

names creeks, rivers and lakes.

The USGS is asking for documented local support in order to move forward with the name change. The NCSD Board voted unanimously to support the AP class in its goals, and so did the city council. NHS science teacher Courtney Wolken said she is working with a representative of the USGS, and the change might be official this fall.

The creek used to be a dumping site where people would toss all kinds of garbage. NHS student Emily Bollhoefer, who joined Wolken at last week’s school board meeting, said she found just about a whole car in the creek that was com-

pletely rusted out.

The AP students started a project in which they test the temperature, pH level and oxygen level of the water. Moving forward, the AP classes will continue to monitor what they hope will soon be called Cardinal Creek.

“We’ve cleaned up somewhat down there as much as we can,” Bollhoefer said. “We have three different sites that we’re monitoring.”

For the DNR, the name change fits in with a statewide education campaign the agency is embarking on, said Nonpoint Source Coordinator Steve Hopkins. The name change is the first step in making CREEK | 3A

Haines surprised by former Newton teacher Newton Daily News Katie Helfrich, former teacher at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School in Newton, surprised co-host Sara Haines as a special guest on the live show, “The View,” on Tuesday.

On an earlier episode, Haines, a Newton native, had indicated Mrs. Helfrich was her favorite elementary teacher. The producers of the show secretly contacted Helfrich in Chicago, where she presently lives, and she was invited to appear on the show as a complete surprise to Helfrich Haines. Helfrich consented to make the trip to New York with her granddaughter.

In addition to appearing on the show, Helfrich, along with her granddaughter were treated to tickets to see the Carole King musical “Beautiful.” Helfrich was a teacher at Woodrow Wilson between 1978 and 1994. She will be 90 years old in October.

Second annual ‘Team Dana’ barbecue is Friday

Community members are invited to do both at the Second Annual “Team Dana” Barbecue Supper in support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Friday at the First Baptist Church, 620 S. Eighth Ave. E. The event is sponsored by Jodi and Jeff King in honor of their daughter Dana, who

Newton Police Department officer Julie Britton will head up the summer Youth Police Academy next month and is looking for enthusiastic students who want to learn about the challenges and joys being a police officer brings.

Children who will be in fifth to eighth grade this coming fall are encouraged to sign up for the four-session class set for 1 to 3 p.m. June 26, 27, 29 and 30. The classes will be held at the Newton Police Department.

The NPD will show kids what it’s like to work a crime scene, an arrest procedure, SWAT training and traffic stops. Britton said the students will even be able to participate in some of the activities.

“They will learn what kind of physical training we go through before becoming a police officer,” Britton said.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | May 31, 2017

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Wednesday, May 31, the 151st day of 2017. There are 214 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 31, 1977, the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline, three years in the making despite objections from environmentalists and Alaska Natives, was completed. (The first oil began flowing through the pipeline 20 days later; today the pipeline carries an average of 1.8 million barrels of oil a day, according to the Alaska Public Lands Information Centers website.)

On this date: In 1790, President George Washington signed into law the first U.S. copyright act.

In 1910, the Union of South Africa was founded.

In 1935, movie studio 20th Century Fox was created through a merger of the Fox Film Corp. and Twentieth Century Pictures.

In 1949, former State Department official and accused spy Alger Hiss went on trial in New York, charged with perjury (the jury deadlocked, but Hiss was convicted in a second trial).

In 1961, South Africa became an independent republic as it withdrew from the British Commonwealth.

In 1970, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake in Peru claimed an estimated 67,000 lives.

In 1985, 88 people were killed, more than 1,000 injured, when 41 tornadoes swept through parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York and Ontario, Canada, during an 8-hour period.

In 1994, the United States announced it was no longer aiming long-range nuclear missiles at targets in the former Soviet Union.

In 2005, breaking a silence of 30 years, former FBI official W. Mark Felt stepped forward as “Deep Throat,” the secret Washington Post source during the Watergate scandal.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush, under international pressure to take tough action against global warming, called for a world summit to set a longterm global strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In a breach of security, detailed plans for the new U.S. Embassy under construction in Baghdad appeared on the website of the architectural firm that was contracted to design the massive facility.

Five years ago: Democrat John Edwards’ campaign finance fraud case ended in a mistrial when jurors in Greensboro, North Carolina, acquitted him on one of six charges but were unable to decide whether he’d misused money from two wealthy donors to hide his pregnant mistress while he ran for president. (Prosecutors declined to retry Edwards on the five unresolved counts.) President Barack Obama welcomed his predecessor back to the White House for the unveiling of the official portraits of former President George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush.

One year ago: A jury found former suburban Chicago police officer Drew Peterson guilty of trying to hire someone to kill the prosecutor who helped to convict him in the killing of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

That’s Odd Judge denies accused man’s request to juggle at trial SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts judge has denied a man’s request to juggle during his trial to show jurors he was just clowning around when he allegedly tried to rob a convenience store.

The Republican reports that a Springfield judge on Thursday rejected Orlando Melendez’s request to juggle for jurors when the case goes to trial. He claimed in his written motion that he is a real clown.

Melendez has pleaded not guilty to charges he used a toy gun to try to rob a convenience store in December.

The 20-year-old man, who is representing himself, asked that he be allowed to juggle three wads of paper for 20 seconds to show jurors that the alleged attempted robbery was a misunderstanding.

“It fits in very well locally as a way to help enhance people’s awareness of the local stream, in this case a creek that runs right by Newton High School,” Hopkins said.

According to the DNR, the name of the creek arose in the 1960s, when sewage and waste were being dumped into it without consideration for the aquatic life and ecosystems below.

Students in Wolken’s class are learning about water quality and making a difference in the public sphere. Having students monitor the water quality of the stream, Wolken said, aligns with course goals.

“We go through every bag and make sure clothing is not stained or too dirty,” Tappendick said. “We have to throw a lot of items away if they are not sellable.”

Employee Karie Gilchrist has worked at the thrift store for nearly one year and enjoys the customers as well as the items. Gilchrist works as a cashier and sorter.

“I have always loved going to flea markets, so this job is fun for me,” Gilchrist said. “There are really good quality items here.”

The information learned will be valuable to students who are interested in a career as a police officer or who want to just learn more about what they do to protect the community.

Britton said the group size last year was a small one, and she is looking forward to hopefully doing large group activities.

Students who complete the course will be awarded a certification of completion.

The class is offered for free. Applications can be found at the Newton Police Department and at the elementary schools in Newton. Once accepted into the academy, further instructions will be sent to participants.

“We have been told we have a clean and tidy store,” Carter said. “Staff knows a lot of customers and can point out items that they know they’ve liked in the past. Everyone is welcome here.

We see shoppers from all economic backgrounds, and we are happy to see everyone.”

Carter said she expects the store to see increased traffic this summer with kids being out of school, during race weekends and when events downtown draw in out of town customers.

“We see a lot of customers who hit the rounds, and we aren’t the only consignment store in town,” Carter said.

“We have high hopes that we will get cross shoppers.”

All proceeds from the store go toward the Jasper County Salvation Army and to help those in the community.

So, here it goes.

Newton Fest’s Local Music Showcase presented by 301 Studios is from noon to 5 p.m. at the DMACC Newton Campus on June 10. My set will start around 12:30 p.m.

Please come out and support local musicians. The event is free. In addition to myself, the lineup includes Nate Butler, World Gone Mad Rock

Looking up at the stars Justin Jagler & Roll Drum Corps, Misgivings Fall, Christian Formaro, Scratchclub, Nick Maggard, Mucksnipe, Kiss Da Cook and Pillage the Rapper.

Newton Fest will be my first live performance in Iowa. I’m stoked.

I was musically active in Milwaukee, where I played in bars, basements, garages and other venues.

In those days, I played both solo acoustic and hard-rocking tunes in numerous bands. My Local Music Showcase set will be acoustic and feature a mix of covers and original songs.

“What kind of stuff do you play?”

That is almost always the first question musicians face when their identity as an artist is revealed. I

used to stammer, not knowing how to answer it. I just wanted the music to speak for itself. I didn’t want to limit it with any kind of label.

These days, I’m more direct. I play folk music. It’s three chords and the truth kind of stuff. I draw from influences like Bob Dylan and Neil Young, but I wouldn’t really say I sound like them. Listen for yourself on June 10.

If you make it out to Newton Fest that Saturday afternoon, I promise to play at least a couple songs you can sing along to. Folk music is participatory, so I encourage everyone within earshot to join me in singing.

I’ll play for about 30 minutes, but please hang around for the other local artists who are making this concert possible. They are bringing diverse sounds. Rock, hip hop, electronic dance music and more will be represented on the stage.

Newton has been a wonderfully wel-

coming place since I moved here in January. I’m happy to say my first live performance in quite some time will be at a festival celebrating all things Newton.

The Local Music Showcase is one of many chances to hear live music during Newton Fest weekend. A little band called Metallica happens to be in town on June 9 at the Iowa Speedway for a Native Fund concert. Thunder Nites bike night will also bring hard rock from After Shock to the downtown square on June 9.

Damon Dotson will headline the festival on June 10, and Brother Trucker will open for him. Dotson, who’s sound is self-described as a mix of Dave Matthews, Zac Brown and Jason Mraz, is bringing a full band. Brother Trucker is a band of roots-rock veterans.

It’s an exciting time for music fans in Newton.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

How America lost its head In 2013, the left went nuts over a rodeo clown.

The rodeo clown was performing at the Missouri State Fair, and he had the awful temerity to wear a mask of then-President Obama. “We’re going to stomp Obama now,” said an announcer. “Hey, I know I’m a clown,” the rodeo clown replied. “He’s just running around acting like one. Doesn’t know he is one.” The media quoted a bystander who compared the act to a Ku Klux Klan rally. The lieutenant governor of the state condemned the act, as did one of the senators. The rodeo clown was fired, even though he’d dressed up as other presidents in the past.

Fast-forward four years.

On Tuesday, TMZ posted photos of comedienne Kathy Griffin, who has helped host CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage for a decade, holding a mock-up of President Trump’s severed head covered in blood.

Griffin has a long record of anti-Trump sentiment, of course; in February, she told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews: “I’m a big resister, and I don’t believe in compromise with this president. I also think he’s crazy. I think he’s mentally ill. He’s also an idiot.”

But this photo shoot crossed a rather obvious line — it celebrated Trump’s prospective murder. Imagine if anyone on the right had done something similar with Obama. The outcry would have been deafening.

Yet the same people who ask for trigger warnings for material that might offend anyone; the same people who believe that there is a “rape culture” that pervades America; the same people who say that President Trump has incentivized a culture of political violence across the land; are largely silent about Griffin’s antics. Why? Because political violence is no longer taboo in the United States. It’s just another tactic to utilize when useful and denigrate when others engage in it.

That sentiment expresses itself on both sides of the political aisle. When Montana House candidate Greg Gianforte allegedly body-slammed a reporter, prominent conservatives including talk-show host Laura Ingraham demeaned his victim as a wuss and championed Gianforte as a sort of stalwart man’s man. When leftists attacked Trump rallies during the 2016 election cycle, the media attempted to paint them as defenders of the common good against Trump himself.

The overused phrase “cycle of violence” is often used by the press to refer to situations in which an aggressor acts violently and somebody defends him.

But we’ve entered an actual cycle in violent political rhetoric, whereby the vileness of the left provokes a direct response from the right, and vice versa.

And it’s getting worse.

If you spend all day proclaiming that you’re in a “civil war” with other Americans, that you’re part of the “resistance,” it’s only a matter of time until you become willing to look the other way at violence itself. If Americans aren’t your brothers and sisters, if we disagree, then they will quickly become your enemies. Kathy Griffin may think it’s hilarious to hold up a bloody head of the president of the United States, but she’s tearing away at the social fabric far more than President Trump. And those who back her play are helping to provoke their enemies to respond in kind.

About the new BMS I was a member of the first eighth grade class to attend B.C. Berg. I remember how exciting it was entering this brand new school with all the shiny floors, fancy bathrooms and enclosed courtyards with grass, trees and

walkways that we were forbidden to access.

All built with architect of latest technology. I would like to add my two cents worth. Please, use some common sense and please do not hire contractors that are not trustworthy and go out of business within the next year.

Don’t put in carpet in the en-

tryways that have to be replaced within a year or two ... and don’t add extras for beautification like senseless courtyards.

Build a school like Maytag built its hotel ... old but still strong. Build one that will last longer than 50 years.

Iowa’s school-based dental sealant program works Dr. Bob Russell and Jeff Russell Iowa Department of Public Health/ Delta Dental of Iowa According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), tooth decay is the most common chronic disease among children and teens; however, there is good news. Dental cavities are nearly 100 percent preventable and research shows that school-based dental sealant programs are key to reducing the rate of childhood cavities.

Dental sealants, introduced in the 1960s, are a thin, plastic coating that is painted on to the surface of molars. The coating forms a seal that reduces the risk of tooth decay. School-age children without dental sealants are likely to have three times as many cavities compared to children with dental sealants, according to the CDC. Despite the data supporting sealants, only 11 states had school-based sealant programs, according to a 2015 report by the Pew Charitable Trusts. Thankfully, Iowa is one of those states.

Iowa’s school-based sealant program is a project of the I-Smile @ School program within the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH).

In 2013, a public/private partnership was formed to create the I-Smile @ School program for the state of Iowa through funding from Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Iowa’s rating on children’s dental health by Pew went from a C in 2013 to a B in 2015 due to the increased proportion of high-need schools served by the I-Smile @ School program.

With the additional funding, IDPH has been able to expand access to school-based dental sealants from 27 counties in 2013 to 97 Iowa counties in 2016. Today, more than 60 percent of Iowa’s high-need schools have the I-Smile @ School program. Additionally, I-Smile @ School coordinators teach oral health education and offer referrals if dental needs are identified.

Iowa is leading the way in helping kids maintain healthy smiles and is a model for other states.

Recently the Children’s Dental

Health Project (CDHP) Sealant Work Group (SWG) recognized the good work being done in Iowa schools to prevent cavities.

This multi-year analysis demonstrated that school-based sealant programs keep teeth healthy and are a good investment for a community. According to a study published in “Health Affairs”, a school-based sealant program serving 1,000 children prevents the need for 485 dental fillings.

With more than 39,000 Iowa children receiving dental sealants through school-based programs last year, that’s an estimated 18,000 cavities prevented.

Research shows school-based dental sealant programs save money within two years of operation, help improve the overall health of children and were identified by the National Governors Association as one of three “health investments that pay off.”

Working together, public/private partnerships like this reduce financial strain and stress on Iowa families, teach children about good health habits at an early age and make Iowa an overall healthier state.

Age is no barrier for man long in love with neighbor

DEAR ABBY: I’m 36, doing very well in business, single and deeply in love with a 58-year-old woman. She has been a neighbor since I was in grade school. She’s petite, pretty, intelligent, cheerful and looks my age.

My parents moved to Florida when I turned 27, and I bought their home just so I could be near her. On my 33rd birthday, I begged her to cook for me.

We had dinner and too much wine and ended up in bed. We don’t live together, and she often tells me to find a younger woman. I have tried to gift her a car, jewelry, etc., but she has refused them all.

Our families are against this. I’m going crazy trying to convince her I love her. When I told her I’ve loved her since middle school, she laughed. My parents say I am insane, though they love her dearly. Am I? Help, please. — IN LOVE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR IN LOVE: Insane? No. When people are in love, they sometimes think emotionally rather than rationally. The 22-year difference in your ages may be why your parents are calling you insane.

Rather than try to “buy” your neighbor’s love with gifts, try to get her to tell you how she DOES feel about you and about what happened the night she cooked you dinner. If it was only because she had too much to drink, she may be embarrassed that things went as far as they did. If it was because the attraction is mutual, you should explain to her that while it may be unusual, these kinds of relationships can be successful if both parties are mature. Example: The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, and his first lady.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a full-time pet and livestock sitter. I work seven days a week, including holidays, sometimes for weeks at a time, in clients’ homes caring for their animals. I have 40 years of care experience, and I’m recommended by every veterinarian in the area. I have worked very hard to build my reputation, and I charge reasonable

prices.

On occasion, a client wants a “deal” and tries to bargain down my already reasonable fee. It is nearly always attorneys (who also look for a reason to be disappointed after the fact, but fail) or extremely wealthy people. I try hard not to show how insulting their request is, especially when someone’s front gate costs more than my annual income.

Sometimes I’ll bend, but then I kick myself for doing it. (I am working hard to quit doing that.)

Why should it cost me money to care for someone else’s animals and home? I need a polite, respectful and definite comeback to decline making deals. — PET SITTER IN THE SOUTH DEAR PET SITTER: Try this: “I’m the best. My prices are firm. If you’re looking for a bargain, hire someone else. Plenty of people will accept what you’re offering. But remember, you get what you pay for.”

DEAR ABBY: In the midst of planning my wedding, I got pregnant.

My family wants to plan for a combination bridal/baby shower, but my mother thinks I should only have a baby shower because I will receive gifts at my wedding. What is your take on this? — UNSURE IN TEXAS DEAR UNSURE: I agree with your mother for the reason she gave you. You will need baby things in the near future. Your wedding will effectively be your wedding shower.

GOP senators say health care law repeal unlikely ALTOONA (AP) — Lowering expectations, Iowa’s two Republican senators say the long-promised repeal of “Obamacare” is unlikely, and any final agreement with the Republican-controlled House is uncertain.

The comments Tuesday by Sens. Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst come as the Republican-controlled Senate moves forward on its work to dismantle the 2010 health care bill while facing conflicting demands within their own party and lockstep Democratic opposition.

Both senators are active players in the health care debate.

“You can’t repeal it in its entirety,” Ernst told reporters after a joint appearance with Grassley in suburban Des Moines.

It was a frank admission from loyal conservatives representing a state Republican Donald Trump carried in No-

vember.

The Senate’s filibuster rule means that Republicans — who control the Senate with 52 seats — can’t repeal the entire law.

“You’ve got to have 60 votes and we don’t have 60 votes at this point,” Grassley said.

Grassley, in his seventh term, is a senior member of the Finance Committee, which oversees the law’s tax and Medicaid provisions.

Ernst, elected in 2014, says has been part of an informal GOP health care working group’s discussions.

“As much as I’d love to go back and scrap the whole darn thing, we’re simply unable to do that,” Ernst said.

Other Senate rules permit the GOP majority to repeal portions of Obamacare without Democratic support but render other parts of the law off limits.

“That just allows us to

tinker around the edges,” Ernst earlier told Eric Borseth, an Altoona, Iowa, businessman who implored her to “get rid of that monstrosity.”

What Grassley and Ernst did not mention are divisions within the Republican caucus in the Senate. Getting every Republican on board is proving arduous.

House Republicans passed a measure May 4 axing major parts of the 2010 law, including hundreds of billions in extra Medicaid money that 31 states now receive for expanding to cover more lower-income Americans under the federal insurance program.

Such provisions, as well as the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office’s estimate that 23 million Americans would lose health insurance, make the House bill a non-starter with several Republican senators.

But writing legislation that can pass with only Republican votes has proven agonizing.

Plaza honoring first responders set for construction in Council Bluffs

COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — Work is expected to begin this summer on a plaza in western Iowa honoring law enforcement officers and firefighters.

Preliminary construction of the plaza in Council Bluffs is scheduled to begin June 17.

Council Bluffs residents Lloyd Marsh and Ron Mahoney thought of the idea for the plaza a few months after the fatal shooting of Omaha, Neb., officer and Council Bluffs resident Kerrie Orozco on May 20, 2015.

Mahoney and his wife, Suzanne, commissioned Omaha sculptor

John Lajba to create four bronze statues for the plaza. They’ll include a male firefighter assisting an injured child, a female deputy sheriff, a male police officer with a K9 police dog and a male state trooper.

Lajba met with representatives of all four public safety agencies in preparing his concepts for the statues. He said he realized there were ongoing radio transmissions in the background at each meeting.

“I came to realize the 911 Communications Center was the ‘web’ that ties all of the agencies together,” he said. “Without the 911

Center, first responders would not respond, at least not as quickly or as efficiently. The 911 Center is the hub — the connection between the public and our first responders — and I thought the plaza should also show the critical role 911 Center plays.”

To show that connection, walkways will radiate from a central point leading to each of the four sculptures.

A series of stones will also lead to the statues. Nine stones will be followed by a space, then a single stone, another space and a final stone to represent 9-1-1.

March vote after opposition from party conservatives and moderates would have sealed its defeat, and the two wings of the GOP spent weeks blaming each other for the bill’s demise.

Ernst says the Senate will be able to make individual changes to Obama’s law where only a simple majority vote is

required.

For instance, she mentioned changing mandatory health care benefits required by insurers as ripe for Senate action.

Ernst stopped short of saying whether any legislation passed in the Senate would be accepted by the House.

“We will be working with the House,” she said.

Kids raise collapsed shed roof, drag dad to safety

MARSHALLTOWN — A central Iowa man is expressing a special pride in his children, who rescued him from under the roof of a shed that collapsed on him.

Matt Gannaway and his children had started to take down a wobbly old shed Tuesday morning at his mother’s Marshalltown home when the shed roof fell, pinning him to the ground and knocking him unconscious.

His children sprang in to action. His 13-year-old, Ethan, called 911. Then he and 9-year-old Addison and 11-year-old Payton lifted the roof high enough that Payton could drag her dad to safety as firefighters and medics arrived.

Gannaway suffered a broken shoulder blade and some facial cuts. He said when he heard his kids had saved him, “I couldn’t have had a prouder moment.”

lessons available for all ages. Find age-appropriate swim lessons for your child, but keep in mind that lessons do not make your child “drown-proof ”

Newton Wellness Coalition As families converge on aquatic centers, pools, splash pads, water parks and open bodies of water this summer it is important to keep water safety in mind.

When we think of water safety, we often think of the potential for young children to drown. But drowning also is a concern for teens and young adults. While drowning is more common for children 5 and younger, it’s the second leading cause of death for people age 5-24. Here are some tips and reminders for parents and caregivers about safer water practices.

1. Constant Adult Supervision Actively supervise children and non-swimmers around the water, even when lifeguards are present. Don’t just drop kids off. Avoid distracting activities such as checking email or social media.

Most parents think water safety is first and foremost

3. Look for Lifeguards Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards. Remember that lifeguards aren’t babysitters; always keep your eyes on your child. It is always a good idea to learn CPR. 4. Swim with a Buddy Do not allow anyone to swim alone. Even at a public pool or a lifeguarded beach, use the buddy system.

on their minds whenever they are enjoying summer activities with their young kids. But when the unthinkable happens and a child drowns, parents and caregivers have been known to say, “I only

looked away for a second.”

2. Learn to Swim No matter your age, learning to swim is one of the best ways to be safer in and around the water. There are swimming

5. Wear a Life Jacket Adults and kids should always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket while boating.

Non-Swimmers and inexperienced swimmers should also wear a life jacket at all times when in and around the water.

Inflatable toys can be fun, but are not a substitute for U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets.

Play On Cardinals

Newton beats Oskaloosa in 2A regional soccer

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News “They were ready to play,” Newton High head coach Abby Lamont said of the Cardinal girls’ soccer players following a commanding 8-1

semifinal win Tuesday.

It was evident when team-leading scorer senior forward Ryanne Rausch found the net in the first 30 seconds of the game against Oskaloosa. Rausch scored five goals in the game to

push her season total to 25.

Newton had narrowly got past Oskaloosa, 3-2, in Little Hawkeye Conference action earlier in the season. The Cardinals left no doubt they were steaming forward a possible second

straight trip to the Class 2A state soccer tournament.

Short-handed Mustangs end season with loss to Eagles

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PANORA — Prairie City-Monroe senior Breanna Maher has put herself into medal contention after the opening round of the Class 3A Girls State Golf Tournament on Tuesday.

Maher shot a 14-over-par 86 on the first day of the twoday tournament. She is 16 shots off the lead but only four strokes back of third place at Maher the Par 72 Lake Panorama National Golf Course.

Marta Asenio Povar of Spirit Lake is currently in third after firing a 10-over-par 82.

Morgan Weber of Dike-New Hartford and Baylee Frayne of Garner-Hayfield-Ventura are one shot back of Povar in a tie for fourth.

The state champion will likely come down to either Atlantic’s Brooke Newell or Clear Lake’s Emily Snelling. Both golfers carded 2-under-par 70s Tuesday.

Maher shot a 45 on the front nine.

That part of her scorecard included three pars, three bogeys and three double bogeys.

She was four shots better on the back nine. She had three pars, four bogeys and just one double bogey.

Maher also birdied the par 4 No. 17 to highlight her round.

Round 2 begins at 9 a.m. Wednesday in Panora.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Shaylee Shedenhelm, a sophomore from Colfax-Mingo, jumps in front of Pella Christian’s Mary Kate Bandstra to gain possession of the ball during a Class 1A Region 7 opening-round game in Pella on Tuesday. Bandstra scored a goal for the Eagles, who defeated Prairie City-Monroe 10-0.

PELLA — Prairie City-Monroe girls’ soccer coach Bill Sowder starts every season with high expectations. He expects players in his program to perform to a certain standard.

That standard loosened as the 2017 season went on. That’s why Sowder was a bit more sympathetic after his Mustangs ended their season with a 10-0 loss to 11th-ranked Pella Christian during Class 1A Region 7 play Tuesday.

It’s hard for Sowder, who had hip surgery two weeks ago and needs a temporary walker to get around, to expect more from a roster that ended the season with mostly junior varsity players.

Five players missed Tuesday’s playoff game.

Seniors Abby Waddell and Jaiden Rogers were absent because of a softball regular season game and junior Taylor Shepley also did not show up for the game. Freshman Kimmee Gallaher and sophomore Colleen Craig were both out with injuries.

“They ditched the team to go play softball.

This is a bigger game to me,” PCM coach Bill Sowder said in regards to Waddell and Rogers. “To me, you made a commitment to this PCM SOCCER | 2B

Woods found asleep at the wheel, no alcohol in his system

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press Police found Tiger Woods asleep at the wheel on the side of a six-lane Florida road in the dark of morning, the engine running and his right blinker flashing. His speech was slow and slurred, though there was no alcohol in his system and he didn’t know how far away he was from home.

The details contained in a police affidavit released Tuesday did little to clear up the curious circumstances of his whereabouts on Memorial Day morning, only to confirm Woods’ statement that he had not been drinking before being arrested for suspicion of DUI. Police described Woods as “cooperative as much as possible,” saying he had trouble keeping his eyes open.

The affidavit was released a day after Woods spent nearly four hours in the Palm Beach County jail on a DUI charge.

His mug shot from the jail provided a stark illustration of how much Woods’ mystique has been shattered since his decade of domination that golf had never seen.

In a statement Monday evening, Woods attributed the arrest to an “unexpected reaction” to prescription medicine.

“I understand the severity

of what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions,” he said.

Woods has not competed in four months, and he had fusion surgery on Woods his lower back — his fourth back surgery since April 2014 — on April 20 that will keep him off the PGA Tour for at least the rest of the season.

He told police he had taken several prescriptions.

The affidavit said Woods failed a sobriety test on the side of the road because he couldn’t keep his balance or follow instructions. Breath tests, however, showed no alcohol in his system.

Police said Woods agreed to a urine test.

Wearing black athletic shorts and a white T-shirt, Woods told police he had returned from playing golf in Los Angeles. Woods said on his website last week that he would not be able to twist his back for three months because of his surgery.

The report said Woods changed his story on where he was coming from and where he was going. His car was parked in a direction headed the op-

posite way from his home on Jupiter Island.

The affidavit listed four medications including Vicodin that Woods reported taking. He told police he was recovering from surgery.

Before the four back surgeries, Woods had four surgeries on his left knee dating to his freshman year at Stanford in 1994.

Painkillers are generally prescribed after such surgeries, and many carry warnings to avoid driving while taking them. Other medicines, including over-the-counter allergy medicine or anti-anxiety medicines, can also cause drowsiness and include warnings about driving.

The FDA warning for Vicodin says it “may impair the mental and/or physical abilities required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks such as driving a car or operating machinery; patients should be cautioned accordingly.”

The report said Woods was “extremely sleepy,” and the officer observed it was hard for Woods to keep his eyes open and to walk.

“I didn’t realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly,” Woods said in his statement.

Woods is scheduled to be

arraigned July 5 in Palm Beach County on the DUI charge.

Police also cited him for improper parking. The report said his Mercedes was parked on the right side of the road with the engine running, the brake lights on and the blinker flashing. He was alone.

Woods has not been seen at a golf tournament since he opened with a 77 at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in February, withdrawing the next day because of back spasms.

He was in Los Angeles for the Genesis Open, run by his Tiger Woods Foundation, but he did not come to the course at Riviera because of his back.

He was at the Masters, but only to attend the dinner for past champions.

Woods has 79 career victories on the PGA Tour, second only to Sam Snead.

He has won 14 majors, the last one the U.S. Open in 2008 at Torrey Pines just one week before his fourth knee surgery, which sidelined him for nearly nine months.

Woods, who had been No. 1 longer than any other golfer, has not been a factor since his last victory in August 2013 as he battled through back surgeries from a week before the 2014 Masters until his most recent fusion surgery on his lower back.

PCM Soccer Continued from Page 1B team. It’s been a rough season, but I am pleased with how these JV kids played.

“They will be good if they keep showing the dedication. They are undefeated in JV games, but it’s been a little tougher at the varsity level.”

Sowder admitted that he has made changes to his lineup all season. Mostly because he has to deal with player absences, and he needs to figure out what he can do with the players who are returning for 2017.

“I was missing two defenders. If I had them here, I would have played Caitlyn (Walters) at forward, and we wouldn’t have lost 10-0,” Sowder said. “I guess they had other priorities though.”

With Rogers and Shepley not available to the PCM defense, Sowder had to use Walters on defense. He moved his sophomore standout to forward in the second half, but that move resulted in the Eagles ending the game before the entire 80 minutes were played.

Pella Christian led 4-0 at halftime. The Eagles had a 19-8 advantage in shots, a 14-4 advantage in shots on goal and a 7-2 advantage in corner kicks.

Despite only taking one shot and one corner kick in the second half, the Mustangs (115) still only trailed 5-0 until the final 11 minutes.

Pella Christian scored its final five goals in the last 11 minutes to end the game early. The Eagles got three goals from junior Laura DeZwarte and a pair of goals from freshmen Annika Terpstra and

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Bella George, left, and Pella Christian’s Makenna Van Dyke battle for possession during Class 1A Region 7 postseason action in Pella on Tuesday. The Eagles won 10-0.

Anna Van Zee. DeZwarte leads the team with 17 goals.

“The game changed when I moved Caitlyn from defender to forward,” Sowder said.

“We just didn’t have enough defense back there when she moved up. We made some simple mistakes, but we are only human.”

Sowder not only moved Walters from defender to forward. He also took junior McKeely Tjaden from goalie to forward at the end of each half.

Tjaden allowed the first three goals in the first half and surrendered the first goal in the second half. Tjaden stopped 15 shots.

Sophomore Camilla Schlosser replaced Tjaden in goal both times. She surrendered the other Eagle goals and stopped five shots.

“I am trying to get Camilla some reps,” Sowder said. “If something happens to McKeely, she’s in. And after next year, she is in, too. But I moved McKeely to forward because we needed more offense with us being down so much.”

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe freshman Emma Thomas (29) keeps possession of the ball against Pella Christian during the Eagles’ 10-0 win over the Mustangs on Tuesday in Pella.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Chase Utley was searching for his batting stroke in April. He’s found it in May Utley, Logan Forsythe and Chris Taylor combined to reach base 12 times and totaled six runs, helping the streaking Los Angeles Dodgers rally past the St. Louis Cardinals 9-4 on Tuesday night to move atop the NL West.

The Dodgers went ahead of the Colorado Rockies, who lost 10-4 to the Seattle Mariners.

Utley finished a homer shy of the cycle and was hit by a pitch as the Dodgers won their season-high sixth straight game. Forsythe reached five times, including three walks, and Taylor reached three times.

Utley has hit .333 (22 for 66) in May and he has three homers in his last six games after hitting just .122 in April.

The Cardinals, who’ve lost 10 out of their last 13 games, capitalized on a fortunate call and a couple of Dodgers errors to take a 3-0 lead in the first.

Michael Wacha (2-3) needed 77 pitches to get through three innings, the shortest outing for a Cardinals starter this season. Three of the four runs he allowed were earned.

Mustang softball knocks off Class 2A No. 1 Raiders

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — The Prairie City-Monroe softball team broke open a tight game with a threerun fifth inning and then put the finishing touches on its upset of Class 2A No. 1 Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter with a pair of runs in the sixth during a 5-1 road triumph Wednesday during Heart of Iowa Conference play.

Senior Jayci Vos cracked the scoreboard with an RBI double that bounced off the fence and fell back into play in the fifth. Senior Brooke Nicholson made it 3-0 with a two-run single later in the frame.

CMB failed to take advantage of the opportunities it had. The Raiders stranded the bases load-

ed in the second and seventh innings and left two runners on base in the third and sixth innings.

CMB got its only run of the game in the seventh.

Senior Jennings Megan Ritter doubled to put runners on second and third and then senior Veronica Condon came through with a pinch-hit RBI single. The bases were loaded with no outs, but the Raiders couldn’t get any closer.

Freshman Regan Freland had two hits, two runs and walked once at the plate to lead the Mustangs (4-0 overall, 4-0 in the HOIC). Senior Abby Wad-

dell had two hits and an RBI and sophomore Anna Shaver doubled and scored a run.

Senior Kayla Jennings earned another win in the circle despite walking eight Raiders. She allowed one run on three hits but is now 4-0 on the season.

CMB senior Abbey Kahler took the loss. She allowed five runs on nine hits and walked two while striking out three.

The other hit for CMB was recorded by sophomore Hannah Caple.

C-M softball gets walk-off win over 4A Pella

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Senior Amy Russell laced an RBI walk-off double in the bottom of the eighth inning Tuesday during Colfax-Mingo’s comeback victory over Class 4A Pella.

Russell, who had two hits, two RBIs and two walks in the win, drove in sophomore Mackensie Brown as the Class 1A No. 6 Tigerhawks complete the come-from-behind 6-5 win. It was the third straight victory for Colfax-Mingo.

Colfax-Mingo (4-1) led 2-0 after two innings, but Pella (2-4) grabbed the lead with a five-run third inning. That would be the last time the

Dutch would score as the Tigerhawks plated single runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings to draw even before winning it in Wilson the eighth.

She allowed five runs on nine hits and walked five while striking out one.

Russell and junior Ries Wilson were both 2-for-3 with two RBIs at the plate. Wilson scored once and walked once.

NBA D-League’s Iowa Energy change name to Iowa Wolves DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa Energy announced a name change Tuesday to the Iowa Wolves, reflecting Minnesota’s recent purchase of the NBA D-League franchise.

The Timberwolves made the announcement at Wells Fargo Arena, the 14,000-seat arena where the franchise has played since its inception in 2007.

With Minnesota coach Tom Thibodeau in attendance, the Timberwolves unveiled their new affiliate’s logo and colors. The Wolves’ colors are navy blue and bright green, much like Minnesota’s new identity, with a secondary logo featuring an outline of the state of Iowa and a large “W’’ in the middle.

The D-League has added 10 teams in the last 30 months and will have a league-record 26 teams in 2017-18, when it

will be known as the NBA Gatorade or G-League.

The Wolves will be the second Des Moines-based team to partner with a major league club from the Twin Cities, which is roughly 250 miles north of Iowa’s capital city. The Minnesota Wild’s AHL affiliate, the Iowa Wild, will share the arena with the newly branded basketball team.

“We’ve been looking for the opportunity to partner with a

D-League team for some time now,” Minnesota CEO Ethan Casson said. “We found, frankly, that all roads led back to Des Moines.”

The Energy has been affiliated with a number of NBA teams in its decade of existence, including Chicago, Miami, Phoenix and Memphis.

In 2011, the team drew record crowds of over 14,000 on its run to the league championship.

But now Iowa will focus exclusively on developing and providing talent for the T-Wolves, which Thibodeau said will allow players to learn the same system he uses in the NBA. Thibodeau also said Minnesota might send its veterans down to Iowa for rehab assignments.

“It’s a place where they can get playing time,” Thibodeau said.

Audit: Iowa athletics IT director submitted false invoices IOWA CITY (AP) — The University of Iowa athletics department’s information technology director spent school money on personal items for his home and then submitted false invoices to cover his tracks, according to a state audit released Thursday.

The employee, Patrick Delin, also spent thousands of dollars traveling to a conference in Colorado that wasn’t related to his work and registering for a Miami conference he didn’t attend, the audit showed. Delin gave his wife, who works in the department’s academic center, a free university cellphone for 2 ½ years even though she didn’t need one for her job, the report said.

Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness said Thursday that she would review the report to determine whether charges should be filed. Delin, 40, admitted to auditors he made personal purchases, claiming he repeatedly mixed up which credit card he was using on his Amazon account. He paid back some but not all of the questioned spending.

A call to a number listed as Delin’s rang unanswered and he didn’t reply to Facebook messages seeking comment.

The Associated Press reported earlier this month that Delin resigned in February amid ongoing investigations into his spending and

management by the Board of Regents’ internal auditors and State Auditor Mary Mosiman’s office. The board audit in February found a number of weaknesses in Iowa’s handling of IT equipment, warning that televisions, tablets and other electronics weren’t being tracked and were susceptible to theft.

According to the audit report released Thursday by Mosiman’s office, additional purchases might have been for Delin’s personal use but that it was unknown “because sufficient inventory documentation was not maintained” by the school.

The audit found that on 11 occasions between 2014 and 2016, Delin used his school card to buy items for his home such as a $249 thermostat and $275 on wireless dimmer switch light controls.

On at least five invoices, he “intentionally submitted” documentation that falsely listed the items as computer equipment, the audit states. At other points, he bought a high-end iPad case, a flight bag and remote controls for personal use.

The improper purchases went undetected until the university reorganized how it approved purchases and expenses last year, and a staffer’s concerns prompted the school to request the audits.

Bondurant-Farrar shut out Newton

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Hits don’t keep on coming for Newton High’s Cardinal baseball players. The Cardinals have nine hits in four games this season with one double and eight singles.

Finding a solution to their struggles at the plate is the focus for Newton head coach Dustin Brisel and his coaching staff. The Cardinals had three singles in an 8-0 loss at home Tuesday against Bondurant-Farrar.

“We need to get confidence and be ready to swing the bats.

We’re not swinging at early pitches,” Brisel said. “High school pitchers are looking to get ahead of hitters so early pitches should be good ones to swing at. We are looking at too many pitches.”

The BlueJays’ senior Casey Zarr limited Newton to three hits and struck out 14 Cardinals. Zarr got his team off to a great start with a solo home run with one gone in the first inning. Senior Tyler Flanning hit one out of Eversman Field with two gone in the inning.

Bondurant-Farrar (1-4) hammered out 10 hits. Senior Will Hoyle had a leadoff home run in the fourth as the Jays built a solid lead. They were up 4-0 after two innings, added three in the fourth and one more run in the sixth.

Newton senior Tyler Stanton had two base hits and senior Trey Vanderlaan had a single.

The Cardinals had two on base with two gone in the second and one on with one out in the third but could not score.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Tyler Stanton charges on a ball hit in the infield in a game last season. The Cardinals played at home Tuesday and lost 8-0 to Bondurant-Farrar. Newton is 0-4 to open the season and plays at home Wednesday against Dallas Center-Grimes in its Little Hawkeye Conference opener.

Stanton led off the sixth inning with a single, but the Jays retired the next three Newton batters. Newton went in order in the first, fourth and fifth innings.

“Our guys need to relax and be ready to hit the ball when they go up to the plate,” Brisel said. “Trey is hitting the ball hard so are Tyler and Trevor Ergenbright. It’s coming. We

just have to get the bats figured out quick.”

Brisel said the Cardinal pitchers — senior Josh Gulling, sophomore Ryan Barr and junior Trevor Ergenbright— struggled a bit against a good hitting Bondurant-Farrar team. He said credit had to be given to the BlueJays, who have an approach at the plate which works for them.

“We need to find our approach at the plate. We’ll work on things Wednesday afternoon to get ready for the start of conference play,” Brisel said.

The Cardinals (0-4) open Little Hawkeye Conference play Wednesday at home against Dallas Center-Grimes.

Gulling started on the mound, giving up five runs on five hits and three walks and

striking out one in three innings of work.

Barr pitched three innings, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk with one strikeout. Ergenbright threw one inning, gave up one hit and struck out one.

position for that second state trip. Standing in their way is top-ranked Pella’s Little Dutch, who dispatched Mount Pleasant, 10-0, on Tuesday.

The two Little Hawkeye Conference teams played on May 1 at H.A. Lynn Stadium with Pella walking out with a 1-0 win in overtime. Newton and Pella were in the 2016 state tournament, facing each other in the opening round with Pella taking the game 4-1.

“The girls are ready to focus on Pella now. We’ll get ready for Monday,” Lamont said.

Newton (12-4) plays at 6 p.m. Monday against Pella (16-1) at Pella. The winner advances to the 2017 Iowa Class 2A Girls’ State Soccer Tournament, June 8-10, at Cownie Soccer Park in Des Moines.

Senior forward Taylor Shipley nailed a long kick for a goal with 33:56 left in the first half.

Rausch’s second goal put the Cardinals up 3-0 at the 29:36 mark.

Newton’s fourth goal of the game came on an own-goal by the Indians at the 16:17 mark.

Aleeya Cheney got Oskaloosa on the scoreboard with a shot into the net with less than eight minutes until halftime.

Rausch was tackled in the scoring box and awarded a penalty kick. She sailed the ball into the corner pass the Indian goalkeeper with 22:38 left in the second half.

Shipley brought the ball up the sideline then delivered a crossing pass right in the middle of the box. Rausch put the ball in the net and a minute later she used a long pass right up the middle of the field by junior Anna Forsyth to score yet again.

Forsyth finished off the scoring with a goal at the 5:58 mark.

“Their passing was impeccable, their communication was great and their shooting was on point,” Lamont said. “They were ready. They talked about it all week. They were excited

Reynolds had a 45 for her first nine holes. On her back nine, Reynolds followed a double bogey and triple bogey with back-to-back pars on No. 13 and 14. She had a 47 on her second nine holes.

One shot back of Reynolds and Herr are Humboldt’s Avery Terwilliger and Creston’s Ashton Carter with 93s. Dubuque Wahlert has a three-shot lead over Humboldt in the team standings at 368 to 371. Grinnell is third with a 381.

Reynolds tees off on Elmwood’s No. 16 at 9 a.m. Wednesday for the final 18 holes of the state tournament. In her group are Danielson and Thede, who are tied for fourth.

NEWS THAT’S IMPORTANT TO YOU!

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Working through a block by an Oskaloosa player, Newton High senior forward Ryanne Rausch (2) keeps going after the ball in the second half of Tuesday’s Class 2A Region 5 semifinal soccer game. Rausch scored five goals in leading Newton to an 8-1 victory at home. Newton plays for the regional championship and a state tournament berth Monday against top-ranked Pella in Pella.

to play in the postseason.”

Lamont said Forsyth returning after missing a few games because of an injury was important. She said Forsyth back in the middle made an impact to the team.

Shipley, junior Carter Lee and Forsyth each had an assist.
