Pastor Young to retire from St. Luke Methodist Church

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News After serving as pastor of St. Luke Methodist Church for 10 years, the Rev. Audrey Young will retire from the congregation this month.

Young’s last sermon is set for June 18.

The Newton community is invited to attend an ice cream and pie social at 5 to 7 p.m.

June 16 at the church as a

part of Young’s farewell weekend.

Young and her husband Mark moved to Newton in 2006 when he was called to be a pastor of Young First Christian Church Disciples of Christ. Young said she was appointed to St. Luke in

2007.

“God really made St. Luke available,” Young said.

Young said that for years she has called members of St. Luke amazing.

“That is my word for St. Luke,” Young said. “It comes usually with the amount of money, time and talent that is given to mission work.”

Young said she sees St. Luke as a welcoming church that is centered around outreach.

Young is celebrating her 20th year in her career as a pastor.

“Of the churches that I’ve served, St. Luke is the closest to first century Christians because of the discipleship and outreach that happens locally and worldwide,” Young said. “Another thing that has surprised me about St. Luke is that the high school and college students come back during Vacation Bible School week to help lead and teach

and act in the skits.”

Young said the church has been known for its VBS program, volunteering with Jasper County Take Away Hunger, Bedz 4 Kidz, hygiene kits for Days for Girls and hosting small group ministries.

“They keep me hopping for sure,” Young said. “There is always something going on here.”

E-Clips introduces massage therapist

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News A Newton native has launched her own space of relaxation at E-Clips Hair and Tanning. Leslie McNew is a new face at the salon and although she is not a hair stylist, she is an expert at massages.

McNew, a dedicated mother and grandmother, is getting an opportunity she has always dreamed of. She began her career as a massage therapist in January following expert training at Body Wisdom in Urbandale.

Along with receiving 750 hours of training, McNew also runs her

own daycare, which now mostly just consists of her four grandchildren.

McNew said she received encouragement from family members and friends to pursue a career in massage therapy.

“This was the next step,” McNew said. “I’ve really enjoyed it.”

McNew was athletic when she was growing up and realizes the toll it can take on the body.

“We have people who come in with shin splints,” McNew said. “Sport massages are more challenging, but I’m willing to keep learning.”

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News To continue progress at the Cardinal Ridge townhouse subdivision, city council will look to award the roadway paving bid on Monday.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A variety of topics fill a packed agenda for the Newton City Council’s Monday meeting. Among the items before the council is a public hearing awarding the contract for the roadway paving at Cardinal Ridge, an increase to the sanitary sewer rates and refunding the Downtown Façade Grant Program.

The city is currently in the process of developing 4.25 acres of the former Cardinal Hills Golf Course into a high-quality development site for townhomes. The

subdivision, Cardinal Ridge, is located west of the former country club building with infrastructure work already underway to the location.

Bolton & Menk, Inc., an engineering firm under contract with the city, prepared the plans and specifications for the paving of the roadway. The project will consist of building a 26-foot wide concrete roadway running east-west through the property westward from West 12th Street South.

The resolution before council has the paving project low bid awarded to Alliance Con-

struction Group of Grimes for $230,143. Funds bonded from the Newton Housing Initiative will be used to pay for the project.

Council will also look at a first consideration on an ordinance to increase the sanitary sewer rate by five percent in the city.

Several capital projects are needed to meet Iowa Department of Natural Resources permit requirements. One of these projects is an estimated $900,000 ultra-violet disinfection treatment project at the plant.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Friday, June 2, the 153rd day of 2017. There are 212 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 2, 1897, Mark Twain was quoted by the New York Journal as saying from London that “the report of my death was an exaggeration.” (Twain, in London to cover Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee for the Journal, was responding to a report in the New York Herald that he was “grievously ill” and “possibly dying.”)

On this date: In 1924, Congress passed, and President Calvin Coolidge signed, a measure guaranteeing full American citizenship for all Native Americans born within U.S. territorial limits.

In 1941, baseball’s “Iron Horse,” Lou Gehrig, died in New York of a degenerative disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; he was 37.

In 1946, Italy held a referendum which resulted in the Italian monarchy being abolished in favor of a republic.

In 1953, the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place in London’s Westminster Abbey, 16 months after the death of her father, King George VI. In 1966, U.S. space probe Surveyor 1 landed on the moon and began transmitting detailed photographs of the lunar surface.

In 1986, for the first time, the public could watch the proceedings of the U.S. Senate on television as a six-week experiment began.

In 1987, President Ronald Reagan announced he was nominating economist Alan Greenspan to succeed Paul Volcker as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.

In 1997, Timothy McVeigh was convicted of murder and conspiracy in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people. (McVeigh was executed in June 2001.)

Ten years ago: U.S. authorities said four Muslim men had been prevented from carrying out a plot to destroy John F. Kennedy International Airport, kill thousands of people and trigger an economic catastrophe by blowing up a jet fuel artery running through populous New York residential neighborhoods. (Three of the men were later sentenced to life in prison; the fourth was sentenced to 15 years behind bars.)

Five years ago: Ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was sentenced to life in prison after a court convicted him on charges of complicity in the killing of protesters during the 2011 uprising that forced him from power (Mubarak was later acquitted, and freed in March 2017).

One year ago: House Speaker Paul Ryan endorsed Donald Trump’s bid for president, telling The Associated Press his goal was to make sure the GOP was “at full strength in the fall.” President Barack Obama, speaking at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado, implored the next generation of U.S. military leaders not to give in to isolationism or pull back from U.S. leadership in the world.

Entertainment Unflappable Ananya Vinay wins National Spelling Bee OXON HILL, Md. (AP) — Ananya Vinay never looked all that impressed by any of the words she was given in the finals of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The 12-year-old from Fresno, California, showed little emotion and didn’t take much time as she plowed through word after word. Sometimes she would blurt out questions, with little intonation — “Part of speech?” ‘’Language of origin?” — and sometimes she didn’t even bother.

Unflappable to the end, Ananya seized the opportunity when her steely opponent, Rohan Rajeev, flubbed a simple-looking but obscure Scandinavian-derived word, “marram,” which means a beach grass. She calmly nailed two words in a row, ending on “marocain,” which means a type of dress fabric of ribbed crepe, to win the 90th Scripps National Spelling Bee on Thursday.

Young said she and her husband will remain living in Newton, and she will be serving in Mitchellville at the United Methodist Church and a small church named Santiago.

“It will be fun to get to know more people but it has been a real privilege to be here for 10 years,” Young said. “I’m really going to miss the church family here.”

The Rev. Chad Jennings will be the new pastor at St. Luke and will begin preaching June 9. Jennings and his wife Wendy, daughter Abby and son Nathan will be moving to Newton.

Young said she has really enjoyed living in the Newton community and appreciates the forward thinking that has taken place since Maytag left town, but most of all, Young appreciates the friendliness of the residents.

“One of the things I have always loved about Newton is that people wave each other on to go before them at the stop signs,” Young said. “I think it’s just a sign of the kind of people who live here, and I hope we never lose that.”

The ice cream social will include ice cream from Dane’s Ice Cream Shop in Iowa City, a meal of loose beef sandwiches, hot dogs, baked beans, chips and a beverage. There is a suggested donation of $7. Proceeds will go to St. Luke’s missions.

Also on the agenda is a resolution designating an addi-

The Downtown Grant Review Board has received additional applications that have not yet been reviewed. In order

to assist with more downtown projects, funds need to be shifted to the program. The money will come from the undesignated 2015 Bond Funds.

Nimoy taught us much more than LLAP

Trending Mike Mendenhall

Editor’s Note: This column originally ran March 5, 2015 I have been and always shall be your friend.” These were the words of Captain Spock as he consoled Admiral James T. Kirk while dying of radiation poising in the most critically acclaimed movie in the “Star Trek” film series “The Wrath of Khan.”

Spock made the “logical” choice to sacrifice himself fixing the ship’s engine by hand justifying the selfless act through the Vulcan proverb “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one”

“

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | June 2, 2017

On screen and in film, actor Leonard Nimoy portrayed Spock as a half-Vulcan, half-human personality constantly pulled between the morality of two worlds. The character could have been a lifeless caricature of the cliché ScFi alien, but Nimoy gave Spock depth — visually and subtly showing the character’s internal struggle to control his emotions. Off screen, Nimoy showed this gravitas in his actual personality.

As a fan of “Star Trek” this was a sad week, as Nimoy lost his years-long battle with COPD. The actor quit smoking more than 30 years ago, but his habitual use finally came back haunt him in the end. He openly spoke about his tobacco addiction and supported work American Cancer Society just as he used his “Star Trek” fame to bring light

to other issues.

He was an avid supporter of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, supporting the dignity of minorities and the LGBTQ communities. Nimoy worked closely with actor George Takei — “Star Trek’s” Hikaru Sulu — who came out as gay in the early 2000’s.

Nimoy’s support for human rights will come as no surprise to most Trek fans. The original series — which aired on CBS from 1966-69 — was groundbreaking when it came to ideas of race and equality. The show aired the first onscreen kiss of an interracial couple, and Nimoy’s character was always the voice of reason when dealing with misunderstood “Alien” life — an obvious analogous to clashes between world cultures. He also fought for fellow actor Nichelle Nichols to get pay equal to that of her male counterparts.

Star Trek first aired nearly two decades before my birth, so my first memory of Spock came later in Ni-

moy’s career. He was guest starting on an episode of “Star Trek — The Next Generation,” opposite Mr. Data — an emotionless android who often looked to Ambassador Spock as a mentor of sorts. By this point, Nimoy had come to embrace his pop culture roll as Spock — a position he felt from many years typecast him as an actor. I later learned the evolution Nimoy took with his character, watching the original “Star Trek” episodes where Spock shows more emotion rather than his iconic reserved intrigue.

The week of his death, Nimoy sent out a final Tweet which gave on man’s opinion of what life is — a culmination of memories that make up the human condition. “Life is like a garden,” Nimoy wrote. “Perfect moments can be had but not preserved, expect in memory.”

Nimoy may be gone but to dwell on death, that’s just not logical.

Another View Jill Richardson

The ‘why’ behind bad grades The end of the school year has a tendency to bring crises to my attention.

I’m a graduate teaching assistant, which means I have more face-to-face contact with the students than the professor I work for. I know their names and I know them as individuals.

There are often a few struggling students whom I’ve had on my radar all semester, or at least since they failed a midterm exam. I try to reach out and help them discover what went wrong, and then put them in touch with the resources they need to do better.

In my experience, most bad grades aren’t the result of laziness or poor intelligence. Often it’s something else.

In the best cases, it’s something simple. The student had four tests in a week and they failed mine.

That student, so long as they have time to study, will do fine in the future.

But then there are the other cases. Generally it’s either something tragic happening in the student’s life — a best friend committed suicide or a parent is terminally ill — or it’s some form of mental illness or learning disability.

The most common issues I’ve seen are anxiety and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Sometimes it’s also depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or even an eating disorder.

I meet students in all phases of these problems.

Some have had them for years and are in treatment.

Others haven’t even been diagnosed yet, or they’re newly diagnosed and still trying to figure out how to live with the problem.

That’s something that takes time. It takes time to find a therapist you trust and build a rapport with. If you’re going to take antidepressants, it takes a month or two for them to have an effect. And some antidepressants have unbearable side effects, so it can take more than one attempt to find the right one.

It’s tempting to tell a student dealing with an anxiety problem to be responsible and to find the resources they need to do well in school. But that’s like telling a person with two broken legs to go walk to the emergency room so they can get the care they need.

When your mind is the problem, sometimes it’s hard to use that same mind to get to the solution.

While problems such as these are bound to crop up, how we react to them is our choice. A student suffering from any problem will be better off if their parents and teachers are understanding and supportive.

It takes time to deal with a new and as-yet-untreated anxiety problem. But the solution can be sought faster if parents let their children know they have their backs 100 percent and will do what’s needed to be supportive.

A student suffering from anxiety, ADHD, or any other physical or mental health challenge has a right to accommodation by the school. They often need other resources as well.

I worry about my students who equate their grades with their own self worth, and who believe their parents will be disappointed by anything less than an A. I wish I could tell them their parents love them for who they are, not what they do — but not every parent sees it that way.

If your child ended the school year with less than stellar grades, instead of judging — reach out. Ask what’s going on. Odds are your kid isn’t lazy or stupid, and a caring adult is sometimes all it takes to help.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Q&A: Government Overreach With U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley

Q: What is the Congressional Review Act? A: Signed into law by President Clinton more than two decades ago, the Congressional Review Act (CRA) is serving as a game changer to help restore proper checks and balances of government, specifically for Congress to reclaim its constitutional authority to write the laws. For decades, the legislative branch has given federal agencies broad latitude and leeway to administer public policy that has resulted in sweeping executive overreach. Over the years, federal rule making has eroded legislative authority, creating a disconnect between congressional intent and diminishing accountability in our system of self-government. Elected representatives can be held to account at the ballot box; unelected bureaucrats cannot. The good news is that the CRA empowers the legislative branch with a key oversight tool to curb an ambitious regulatory state steered by ideology instead of public consensus.

It gives Congress 60 legislative days to review federal regulations, and with a simple majority, repeal costly, burdensome red tape that overrides congressional intent. The 115th Congress has utilized the law 14 times in the first five months of the current session to rein in a flurry of regulations rushed through in the waning months of the previous administration. Many people would be surprised to learn that the crushing regulatory burden on the U.S. economy acts as a stealth tax, costing more than $2 trillion each year. What’s more, it costs another $70 billion just to implement the regulations. The Congressional Review Act gives Congress the ability to correct

The Scoop U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley regulations written by unelected bureaucrats, thus helping to restore accountability and limited government. Reining in the size and scope of the federal government’s reach into the free market will help foster the entrepreneurial spirit that drives innovation and prosperity. Unaccountable regulatory overreach can undermine congressional intent. That’s why I work tirelessly to conduct robust oversight and ride herd on federal agencies during the rule-making process. It takes consistent oversight and tenacity to keep federal agencies in check to implement the law as Congress intended. An example of executive overreach is the Waters of the United States (WOTUS). The Obama administration twisted the Clean Water Act as a means to an end. It attempted to cast a sweeping regulatory net over nearly all the property in Iowa.

Everyone wants clean water, but do we need a federal bureaucrat regulating a dry stream bed on a farmer’s property? Congress and the courts have put the brakes on this extreme overreach. The bottom line is our system of checks and balances is crucial to hold government accountable to the American people.

The modern regulatory state arguably favors the well-heeled and well-connected who are able to hire legions of lobbyists and lawyers to influence rule making to their advantage. Giving too much leash to federal regulators can result in an unaccountable system where the well-connected get their bread buttered and

average Americans do not. The good news is that the CRA gives Congress the option to apply the brakes to make sure the people’s business comes first.

Q: How has the 115th Congress used the Congressional Review Act? A: Congress has taken swift action to stop heavy-handed regulations that were rushed through with scant regard to the taxpaying public and the loss of freedoms for individual citizens, from Second Amendment rights to the productivity and prosperity of the free marketplace. To be clear, not all regulations are bad, especially when it comes to securing the health and well-being of Americans and strengthening national security. However, as James Madison wrote in Federalist paper 62: “Every new regulation concerning commerce or revenue, or in any way affecting the value of the different species of property, presents a new harvest to those who watch the change, and can trace its consequences; a harvest, reared not by themselves, but by the toils and cares of the great body of their fellow-citizens.

This is a state of things in which it may be said with some truth that laws are made for the few, not for the many.” With the 14 CRA roll-backs and other regulatory relief measures enacted so far, Congress is working to ensure the government is working “of, by and for the people.” The estimated regulatory cost-savings will reach $67 billion and reduce burdensome paperwork by 56 million hours. That’s time and money restored to the small business owners, entrepreneurs and wage earners who work hard to pay their bills, grow a business and save for retirement.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

College student living at home is ready to fly after graduation DEAR ABBY: I am 21 and about to graduate from college. I have lived at home these last four years partly because my dad didn’t want me to go away. He never said it, but he made up reasons to make me stay at home.

I was 17 and being manipulated and controlled. I tried to explain to him that I wanted to go away to learn independence, but he said I wasn’t mature enough.

Now that I am about to graduate, I have been offered a job with a company in California. I am afraid to tell my parents about the news. I know that it’s my life, but my father is a master of psychological manipulation. I want to finally get away from my parents’ strict controlling and financial strings and start a stress-free life of my own. How do I explain this without them manipulating me all over again? — SOON TO BE A COLLEGE GRADUATE DEAR GRADUATE: First, make up your mind that you ARE leaving.

When you tell them, be sure to say how grateful you are for the love and support they have given you, but that you have been offered a job in the field for which you have studied and are now well-prepared enough to fly on your own.

Set a date to leave and do not allow yourself to be dissuaded, whether because of a guilt trip or any other manipulation. I’m not saying it will be emotionally easy, but for your own sake, you must do it.

DEAR ABBY: I have a single daughter in her early 30s. She’s active in her church, goes out with friends and spends time with family. She’s very attractive and has a wonderful personality.

Her siblings, cousins and friends are all married and most of them have children. She wants her own family and has tried the usual dating sites, but

never gets any results.

I try to keep her spirits up. Her happiness is most important to me, not her marital status. How can I help her? I don’t want to keep telling her the right one will come along when she wants a boyfriend now. — SINGLE GIRL’S MOM IN GEORGIA DEAR MOM: Your daughter should start by asking her siblings, cousins and friends why they think she’s still single when she wants so much to be married. Could the solution be something as simple as tweaking her profile? It may be that she needs to expand her interests and activities so she’ll be out in the community more than she is.

If her friends and co-workers aren’t already aware, she should ask if they know someone nice who’s unattached.

Who knows? One of them might have a cousin. Professional organizations having to do with her field of employment can also be fertile ground for prospecting.

People who are visible and passionate about the activities they’re involved in attract positive attention, which increases the likelihood of meeting someone eligible, or meeting someone who knows someone. When all is said and done, finding Mr. Right is usually a matter of luck and timing.

Teen sentenced for beating death of grandmother DES MOINES — A Des Moines teen has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for beating his grandmother to death in the home they shared. Nineteen-year-old Noah LaPrei was sentenced Thursday afternoon to 50 years with no minimum. LaPrei entered an Alford plea in April to second-degree murder in the death of 79-year-old Rachel Pray. Police say they found the woman dead in her home after she reportedly called her son around 11 p.m. on Oct. 10, 2015, to say LaPrei had attacked her.

DAVENPORT — Authorities have released the name of an Illinois man whose body was found burning near a Davenport street. Davenport Police Capt. Brent Biggs says the man’s been identified as 35-year-old Brandon Brooks, who lived in Rock Island, Ill. The body was found around 4:30 a.m.

IOWA FALLS — Police are investigating how a 6-year-old boy was hit and seriously injured by a semitrailer’s rear tires in Iowa Falls.

The accident happened just after school on Wednesday. The Iowa State Patrol says the boy, who has not been identified, was rushed to an Iowa Falls hospital and later flown to Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines. The patrol says the 31-year-old driver of the semi was driving on a city street around 3:15 p.m. Wednesday when the boy was hit by the truck’s rear tires.

CEDAR RAPIDS — Three teenagers have been charged with attempted murder in the shooting of a 14-year-old in Cedar Rapids.

Police said in a news release Thursday that a 16-year-old and two 15-year-olds also have been charged with related crimes.

The Associated Press generally doesn’t identify juveniles accused of crimes.

The boy was struck twice on March 11 after several shots were fired at the Coin Kleen Laundromat.

5 Trial in Mason City slayings moving to Fort Dodge

MASON CITY — The trial of a man accused of killing two people in Mason City has been moved to Fort Dodge. Peter Veal had requested a change of venue because of pretrial publicity in Cerro Gordo County. Court records say a judge granted the request Thursday and set a trial starting date of July 10 in Webster County District Court. Veal has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of the attempted murder of a witness.

Proposed bike route in western Iowa would span 6 counties COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — Officials from six western Iowa counties are working together to mark a 209-mile bicycle route that would run from Woodbury County to Fremont County.

The Frontier Iowa Trails Network is working on the designation of the Lewis and Clark Today Route. It’ll run along the Missouri River, following the path of explorers

Troopers: 2 in stolen vehicle led troopers on 2-state chase OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Officials say two people have been arrested after leading troopers in Iowa, then Nebraska, on a high speed chase and ramming two Iowa patrol cruisers in the process.

The Nebraska State Patrol arrested the 27-yearold man with an Oklahoma driver’s license Thursday morning after he lost control of the stolen Jeep he was driving in Omaha. A 29-year-old woman with a Wisconsin driver’s license was also arrested.

Officials say the Jeep was stolen from Greeley, Colorado. Troopers in Iowa say when they had earlier tried to stop the Jeep, the driver fled and later swerved at a trooper to avoid a spike strip, causing him to ram two Iowa Patrol cars. He was caught after crossing the Missouri River into Nebraska.

Authorities say the pair face multiple charges.

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark.

“If we get enough counties doing something, communicating, we can make this work,” said Brian Leaders, who works for the National Park Service and is helping spearhead the project.

The project’s first phase will create a “shared route” that runs on highways, county roads and other types

of streets. The majority of the trail would be paved.

The project’s second phase will be the implementation of another bicycle trail off the roadway.

Leaders and others are raising money for installation of the route’s signs, which is expected to cost $200,000.

“The idea is to not oversign, but to give enough direction to get people from

point A to point B,” Leaders said. “We can sign this route in a year.”

Leaders said the signs signaling the roadway as a shared route should promote awareness for drivers of vehicles.

“When there are bicycle signs on the road, drivers will see and think, ‘I better look out for cyclists,’” he said.

The Iowa Department of Transportation has $230,000

in grant funding available.

Leaders said the group is required to create a proposal to present to the department in its grant application.

The county board voted unanimously at its May 16 meeting on a resolution to endorse the department application, which includes a layout by an engineering firm, cost estimates, community support and more.

Iowa students work to create wheelchair business

DUBUQUE (AP) — A project by the Holy Family Catholic Schools students to develop anti-rollback technology for wheelchairs could one day get rolling as a business, if two Wahlert Catholic High School students have their way.

Tony Ward and Grant Oberfoell, both seniors at Wahlert, have taken up a project that began when they were in eighth grade. They are working to find the resources to test, develop and distribute the product.

Their efforts have inspired the creation of a new class at Wahlert that instructors hope will allow even more students to follow the same path.

“My idea is to create as many young entrepreneurs as possible,” said Tim Ehrmann, a Wahlert business education teacher.

This year, Ward and Oberfoell decided to revive a project in which students created an anti-rollback device. It allows wheelchair users to go up inclines without the risk of rolling backward, which could cause injuries, Ward told the Telegraph Herald.

The idea was born when the two were in eighth grade and were part of a FIRST

Telegraph Herald Photo Wahlert Catholic High School Seniors Tony Ward, left, and Grant Oberfoell are striving to develop anti-rollback technology for wheelchairs.

Lego League team tasked with finding a solution to a problem elderly people face.

During their sophomore year of high school, the two were on a team of students selected to develop the product for a national invention contest.

After that, Ward and Oberfoell continued to brainstorm ideas of what they could do next with the project.

This year, they entered the device in a University of Iowa contest and won $1,500

to continue developing their idea. In April, the two won an Aging2.0 chapter competition and they hope to advance further.

The goal for now is to fine-tune and test the invention and gather user feedback, they said. They’ve been working on a business plan and exploring funding opportunities, potentially by entering more competitions.

Their goal is eventually to launch the business and dis-

tribute their product.

“It’s been definitely one of the best learning experiences I’ve had, without a doubt,” said Ward. “Hopefully we can get it onto the market. But regardless, I’ve learned a lot about entrepreneurship and business and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), too, and it’s all things I hope to carry into my college and professional career.”

Oberfoell agreed that the process has been a good one.

Submitted Photo Probiotics help increase the amount of good bacteria in our gut flora. This is beneficial to anyone’s diet. Probiotics naturally help the body with digestion and absorption, improving mood and immune system among other things. You can add supplements to your diet or find it in foods such as yogurt.

By Emily Ring, RD, LD Newton Hy-Vee Registered Dietitian One of the more recent health crazes is adding more probiotic-rich foods into our diet… and for good reason.

Probiotics help increase the amount of good bacteria in our gut flora, the space where millions of both good and bad bacteria live in our gut. Recent research is showing how the health of our gut plays an immense role in the health of the rest of our body.

So ... what are probiotics? Probiotics are live bacteria that live in our intestines. When our gut has a healthy balance of good bacteria, there are many important potential benefits: • Aiding in the digestion and absorption of foods • Decreasing digestive issues such as diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas and abdominal discomfort • Improving our mood, immune system and blood sugar control • Reducing the risk of

infection We naturally have these good bacteria in our gut already, but unfortunately there are a variety of factors that can cause an imbalance in our gut flora. A diet high in processed foods, stress, and taking multiple rounds of antibiotics or other medications can all decrease the amount of the natural probiotics found in our gut. That is why it’s important that, along with a healthy diet, we consume foods high in probiotics.

are filling the shelves of Hy-Vee, including natural foods and product supplements. The most common natural probiotic-containing foods are those that have been fermented, including: • Yogurt, such as Activia • Kefir (a drinkable yogurt) • Kombucha (a fermented tea) • Sauerkraut or kimchi (fermented cabbage and other vegetables) • Miso or tempeh (fermented soybean products)

Choosing probiotic foods versus supplements can help the healthy bacteria surpass your acidic stomach to reach your intestines.

And with foods like Activia® yogurt, you are also providing your body with multiple essential nutrients such as calcium, B vitamins and potassium.

Activia proves to be a top choice for gut health with its carefully chosen strains of probiotics.

Two studies have shown that eating two servings of Activia a day along with a balanced diet for two weeks decreased incidents of abdominal discomfort and rumbling. To help get more servings of Activia in to your day, try this Yogurt Dessert Shot recipe.

Cardinal doubles team bows out of 1A state

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News IOWA CITY — On a sun drenched day, Newton High’s senior Megan Pressgrove and junior Bethany Baumgartner were not able to put together the tennis play they needed to win at the 2017 Iowa Class 1A Girls’ State Tennis Tournament.

The Cardinal doubles team fell behind in each match they played Thursday at the University of Iowa Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Center in Iowa City. They lost twice eliminating them from the double=elimination event.

“We’re disappointed we didn’t compete a lot better. We were in matches but shame shots and points didn’t go our way,” Newton head coach Erick Zehr said. “We came here with the expectations of winning a match or two.”

Pressgrove, who was playing in her second straight state tournament as a doubles partner, and Baumgartner faced Sydnee Redman and Sydney Sickels of Clarke in the opening round. The Cardinals fell behind 2-0 before Pressgrove had a smash at the net for a winner.

Newton was down 4-1 when Baumgartner used a nice drop shot at the net to win a second game. Three straight shots at the net by Pressgrove produced a third game win for the Cardinals to make it 5-3. Clarke held serve to win the first set, 6-3.

In the second set against Clark, Pressgrove and Baumgartner held serve to Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News make it 2-2. Baumgartner served and Newton High senior Megan Pressgrove, left, and junior Bethany Baumgartner, right, celebrate a game point during a consolation STATE TENNIS | 6B

doubles match at Thursday’s 2017 Iowa Class 1A Girls’ State Tennis Tournament in Iowa City. The Cardinal duo did not advance to the second day of play, losing two matches on Thursday.

Cardinals, Tigerhawks split doubleheader

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Power and pitching won out Thursday when Class 1A seventh-ranked Colfax-Mingo faced host Newton High’s Cardinals in a non-conference softball doubleheader.

Five softballs left the Berg Middle School softball field outfield fences in the two games. The Tigerhawks had two two-run home runs in their 5-3 victory in the opener. Newton’s Rilee Slycord went yard for a solo shot.

In the nightcap, Emily Valtman launched two solo home runs to power Newton to a 4-0 win.

Anna Coyle pitched a fivehit shutout against the Tigerhawks for the victory.

Coyle did not walk anyone and struck out three.

Newton handed the ranked Tigerhawks their second loss of the season.

Colfax-Mingo is 6-2 overall. Newton is 3-3 for the season.

“Anna pitched well,” Newton head coach Kristina McNew said. “In the first game, we weren’t Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News swinging at the best pitches

Kicking up some dust — Newton High’s Audrey Lucus, left, slides into third base and is tagged out by Colfax-Mingo’s Colbee Cunningham (11) during the fourth inning of the first game of Thursday’s doubleheader at Newton. Colfax-Mingo won the ame 5-3, and Newton won the second game, 4-0.

Never stop competing O

n the first day of summer-like weather, spring became one step closer to being done for me. It was sunshine from the first warm-up to the final point for Newton High’s doubles team at Thursday’s Class 1A state tennis tournament.

Senior Megan Pressgrove and junior Bethany Baumgartner handled things well considering. No one likes to lose, and to lose both matches on the same day in a double-elimination event stings a bit. The two girls kept competing even when things were not going as planned on the tennis courts at the University of Iowa’s Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Center in Iowa City.

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets The day before — Wednesday — I watched Newton junior Alayna Reynolds compete well in the Class 4A girls’ state golf tournament. Reynolds and the rest of the 4A field dealt with a very challenging course at Marshalltown’s Elmwood Country Club. The course is laid out on hills with treelined fairways. There’s a lot of ups and downs on the course.

To compare a score from Class 1A, 2A or 3A to a score from the Class 4A tournament cannot be done with any validation. Competing in an outdoor sport, players have to contend with two big variables — the weather and condition of course or field. Each of the state golf tournaments were played on different types of courses.

Just ask Newton High’s boys about those variables in soccer. A week ago, they played a substate semifinal on the natural grass field of Hudson. The ball plays differently on natural grass compared to artificial turf.

Speaking of soccer, Newton High’s girls are the final holdout of the spring sports season for the Newton Daily News staff. The 15th-ranked Cardinals play in a regional championship game Monday.

The Cardinals will get another crack at top-ranked Pella. Pella beat Newton, 1-0 in overtime, during Little Hawkeye Conference play this season.

Newton takes on Pella at 6 p.m.

Monday in Pella. Winner advances to the Class 2A state tournament, where both played last year. Pella ousted Newton, 4-1, in the first round.

swing. On Thursday, Newton and Colfax-Mingo met in a non-conference softball doubleheader. It was pretty evenly matched as the visiting Tigerhawks took the first game and the Cardinals won the second game.

Newton’s baseball team is struggling to hit the ball, score runs and win games. The Cardinals are working to find the right combination on the field. They are still looking for their first win of the season.

Competing is done by athletes win or lose. You can’t win without the hard work of competing. Perseverance is important.

Alayna Reynolds stayed with her plan at the state golf tournament. She came up short of a state medal, placing 12th after tying for 11th. She did earn second-team all-state tournament honors from the Iowa High School Golf Coaches Association.

Miscues plague Mustangs against North Polk

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ALLEMAN — Five errors in the field and a missed opportunity at the plate doomed the Prairie City-Monroe baseball team Thursday during a 2-1 loss to North Polk.

The visiting Mustangs had the bases loaded with no outs in the third inning but did not score during the Heart of Iowa Conference game. PCM had five hits and one walk at the plate, and North Polk also had five errors.

PCM led 1-0 after senior Ethan Thomas scored on an error in the fourth inning.

Thomas reached base twice on catcher’s interference calls.

Thomas

Henkenius

North Polk plated one run to tie the game in the fourth and then added the winning run in the fifth.

Junior Noah Henkenius started on the mound and allowed four hits and one unearned run in four innings. He had five strikeouts, no walks and hit two batters.

Freshman Dane Owens tossed the final two innings and allowed one earned run on one hit and walked two, hit one and struck out a pair.

“The pitchers continued to do a nice job,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said. “The pitch counts weren’t that high. They threw strikes. We need to do a better job picking them up with the routine balls hit in play. The errors we are making are not tough plays.”

With the bases loaded in the third inning, PCM failed to score after back-to-back strikeouts and a fly out.

“We cut down on our strikeouts tonight, and we hit several balls on the nose and had nothing to show for it,” Lind-

say said. “We aren’t giving atbats away. I truly believe it will get better.”

Senior Braden Phifer had a hit and walked in the loss. The other two hits came from Hekenius and sophomore Brayton Van Dyke.

PCM plays at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Gilbert. The Mustangs, weather pending, are scheduled to play in the Colfax-Mingo round robin tournament on Saturday.

PCM is slated to play Albia at noon and Colfax-Mingo at 2 p.m. Colfax-Mingo and Albia will play at 10 a.m.

Moody, Iowa State settle discrimination suit for $60,000 DES MOINES (AP) — A lawsuit filed by a former star player against Iowa State women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly has been settled for $60,000.

Nikki Moody had sued Fennelly, the university and the state of Iowa for racial discrimination and retaliation, saying she was repeatedly called a “thug” and labeled a selfish player despite being the program’s career assists leader.

A trial was set for September.

The school said Thursday that the Iowa attorney general’s office had reached a settlement agreement. Moody will receive $35,600, with the rest going to attorneys.

The deal includes no admis-

sion of guilt by the defendants.

Fennelly had been dismissed from the lawsuit in April, one month after he agreed to a contract extension through 2022. He has been Iowa State’s coach for 22 seasons.

Phone messages left by The Associated Press for Fennelly and Brooke Timmer, one of the attorneys representing Moody, were not immediately returned.

Moody, who graduated in 2015 as a four-year starter and an honorable mention All-American as a senior, had claimed that the abuse caused her severe emotional distress.

Moody added that her complaints to assistant coaches and a senior athletics administra-

Moody

Fennelly

tor brought no response.

Fennelly defended himself to reporters a few weeks after Moody filed her suit, saying he wouldn’t change the way he coaches because he’s motivated to make players accountable and to do the right thing.

“I’m not going to deny who I am. I’m a passionate, emotion-

al person, because every day I am 100 percent committed, invested, in the people I work with and I work for. I will not apologize for that,” Fennelly said in April 2016. “But I am not — I am not — the person I’ve been accused of being.”

Fennelly, a fiery but popular coach with Iowa State’s fans, is 465-236 with the Cyclones.

After a rough start to last season, Iowa State rallied to make the NCAA Tournament for the 10th time in 11 seasons.

The Cyclones also typically rank among the nation’s top teams in attendance. Iowa State ranked third in the country with 9,833 fans per home game in 2015-16 despite winning just 13 games.

Bothered by wrist, 12th-seeded Keys of US loses in Paris PARIS (AP) — Madison Keys started to feel something wrong in her surgically repaired left wrist late in the first set of her second-round match at the French Open.

It would be the last set she would win in the tournament.

“It kind of just got worse and worse. And then I was hoping I could, obviously, get through it in the second set,” the 12th-seeded American said Thursday. “But then, by the third set, it was just really painful.”

Facing a qualifier ranked only 290th, Keys could not overcome the problems with her wrist and lost 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 to Petra Martic of Croatia at Roland Garros.

Keys made 51 unforced errors, 31 more than Martic.

The American hoped to avoid taking a medical timeout, so as not to make it obvious to Keys her opponent that she was in duress, but eventually Keys called for a trainer after the second set.

Keys is right-handed, but she uses her left arm for two-fisted backhands. She had surgery during the offseason.

As the trainer examined her wrist on the sideline, tears ran down Keys’ cheeks. She would

win only one game the rest of the way, piling up 14 unforced errors to five winners.

“I definitely feel like I, myself, start getting a little panicky. And that’s obviously not what you want to feel in the middle of a match,” Keys said.

“So that’s not the easiest thing to deal with.”

Keys, a semifinalist at the 2015 Australian Open and the Rio Olympics, missed the first two months of this year.

She arrived at the French Open on a four-match losing streak and without a victory on clay in 2016.

“I am going to have the doctors look at it tomorrow,” Keys said about her wrist, “and hopefully they can tell me

what’s going on.”

The 22-year-old, who was born in Illinois and is based in Florida, said she’s been told repeatedly that there is nothing structurally wrong with her wrist.

Instead, at this point, the issue is that there is still some scar tissue and so the wrist will bother her sometimes when she hits a ball coming off an odd bounce or strikes it late.

That happened against Martic, a big hitter who was the lowest-ranked woman to reach the second round this week in Paris.

“It’s really frustrating feeling good all except for just one part of your body,” Keys said.

“That’s just really frustrating.”

Which new FBS head coaches are most likely to succeed?

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press Grading the hires of new college football coaches is an offseason tradition and an exercise in educated guess work.

Still, college football writers do it every year, ticking off fans of teams that receive poor marks and opening themselves up for criticism years later when that C turns out to be an A. Or vice versa.

So let’s not do that. Instead, let’s rank the members of the 2016-17 class of newly hired coaches by which are most likely to succeed in their jobs.

Success is relative, of course. At Texas, triumph is a steady diet of conference titles and national championship contention. At Purdue, regularly going to bowl games is enough. At LSU, it’s beating Alabama.

With that, here we go: 1. Jeff Brohm, Purdue Brohm is most likely to thrive because of the combination of his track record (3010 in three seasons at Western Kentucky) and the low bar

to clear at Purdue, where the past nine seasons have produced two bowl appearances and one winning final record.

The Boilermakers shouldn’t be this bad and the school is in the process of pumping millions of dollars into facilities. Brohm is a creative offensive mind who could easily be Purdue’s next Joe Tiller.

2. P.J. Fleck, Minnesota Playing in the Big Ten West doesn’t put the Gophers at a severe competition disadvantage the way that, say, Maryland is by being in the Big Ten East. At Western Michigan, Fleck had recruiting classes that were comparable to some low-rated Big Ten groups, which is remarkable for a MAC school. If the Gophers can consistently threaten Wisconsin, Nebraska and Iowa under Fleck, that’s a step forward, and it doesn’t seem like a stretch for him to pull that off a few times over the next five years.

3. Charlie Strong, USF Strong did an excellent job at Louisville in the Big East, when he was able to load up on players from Florida. Now

he’s back in his comfort zone.

In the short term, Strong inherits a team favored to win the American Athletic Conference.

4. Tom Herman, Texas It is easy to buy into the Herman hype-machine. He very well could be the next great college football coach, and Texas offers him the chance to compete at the highest level. He has also been a head coach for all of two seasons at a Houston program that went 75-43 in the nine years before he got there.

Meeting through-the-roof expectations at Texas means Herman’s success is no guarantee.

5. Luke Fickell, Cincinnati The Ohio native and former Buckeye seems a perfect fit at a program that helped launch Mark Dantonio, Brian Kelly and Butch Jones to Power Five jobs.

6. Mike Sanford, Western Kentucky All first-time head coaches come with uncertainty, even one like Sanford who seems to have all the makings of a rising star. This looks like an ide-

al match of ascending coach and program, but beware: Anything less than yearly Conference USA championship contention will be seen as a step back for WKU. 7. Ed Orgeron, LSU Successful stints as interim head coach at Southern California and LSU have helped Orgeron put a 10-25, three-year run at Ole Miss behind him. He seems better prepared to lead a major program, but he is also replacing the winningest coach in LSU history. Good luck satisfying Tigers fans while Nick Saban is still coaching in Tuscaloosa.

8. Willie Taggart, Oregon Can Oregon replicate the peak it reached under Chip Kelly? How close does Taggart — who needed 2 1/2 seasons to turnaround USF — have to come to Kelly to be considered successful?

9. Matt Rhule, Baylor Rhule has hit all the right notes responding to Baylor’s off-field issues. Winning in Waco, Texas, will be more challenging. Especially if fans expect him to match Art Briles’ record.

10. Lane Kiffin, FAU For all Kiffin’s issues at Tennessee and USC, his teams went 35-21. The former Alabama offensive coordinator might not be around Boca Raton for long, but there’s a good chance he’ll leave them with a few bowl appearances.

11. Major Applewhite, Houston Following Herman is not an enviable task, especially for a first-time head coach.

12. Geoff Collins, Temple The last three Temple coaches — Al Golden, Steve Adazzio and Rhule — left for better jobs. So, yes, you can win at Temple. But it isn’t easy and the AAC East competition is improving.

13. Randy Edsall, UConn UConn needed a coach who can consistently get the Huskies to bowl games, and Edsall has done it before.

14. Tom Allen, Indiana If Allen produces just slightly better results than Kevin Wilson without alienating the administration, he will be a success. Problem is COLLEGE FOOTBALL | 3B

Curry, Durant power Warriors past Cavs in Game 1 of NBA Finals

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Ryan Barr connects for a hit. The Cardinals lost 10-1 to visiting Southeast Polk on Thursday.

Rams deck Cardinals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Down 8-0 after the first half inning of play, Newton High’s baseball team could have folded, but it didn’t.

“You take away the first inning and it’s a 2-1 ballgame. I’m very proud of how our boys competed tonight. We went a full seven innings which says a lot about our guys,” Newton head baseball coach Dustin Brisel said following the Cardinals’ 10-1 loss Thursday night.

Southeast Polk’s Rams took full advantage of inexperienced pitching by the Cardinals to score eight runs in the first inning. The Cardinals scored a run in their half of the first then held the visitors to single runs in the second and fourth innings.

“We played solid defense all night and we hit the ball hard again. Unfortunately, we hit a lot of those hard balls right at their

defenders. We couldn’t get the big hit when we needed it with runners on base,” Brisel said.

Newton is 0-6 going into Friday night’s home doubleheader with Grinnell at Eversman Field in Woodland Park. The Cardinals are 0-1 in Little Hawkeye Conference play. They take on the Tigers at 5:30 p.m. Friday.

The Cardinals play in the Woodward-Granger tournament on Saturday. Games begin at 6 p.m. in Woodward.

Keith Steinbach, who doesn’t have much varsity pitching experience, was Newton’s starting pitcher against the Rams Thursday. He issued four straight walks then the Rams had a single. Steinbach walked two more before giving way to Blaydon Rhone, another pitcher without varsity experience.

“We’re trying to build our pitching staff. We just don’t have the experienced arms,” Brisel said.

Steinbach was charged with seven runs on six walks and one

hit. Rhone threw four innings, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks and had one strikeout.

Landon Criswell, another inexperienced varsity pitcher, worked three scoreless innings. Criswell allowed two hits and walked two.

Newton produced a run in the first inning. Tyler Stanton was hit by pitch and Brennen Dodd singled. Stanton was tagged out at second on the play.

Trey Vanderlaan had a base hit and Trevor Ergenbright’s groundout moved Dodd to third. Ryan Barr delivered an RBI single.

Southeast Polk had eight hits in the game and two were doubles.

Newton had six hits led by Barr with two singles. Dodd, Vanderlaan, Ergenbright and Ty Arguello each had a base hit.

“We continue to learn. These kids don’t give up,” Brisel said.

Mohawks take doubleheader from Hawks

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MORAVIA — Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks dropped a non-conference doubleheader to host Moravia Thursday. The Mohawks claimed a 9-1 victory in the opener then won in nine innings, 4-3, over the Hawks.

Lynnville-Sully (4-3) used three pitchers in the first game — Bray Noun Harder, Evan Squires and Elijah Collins. They gave up four hits and issued 11 walks.

Moravia had a 9-0 lead when Lynnville-Sully pushed across a run in the top of the seventh inning. Blaize Kuhlmann singled

and Elijah Collins drove in the run.

Caden Dunsbergen tripled in the game. Carson Dunsbergen hit a single.

In the night cap, the Hawks led 3-1 after three innings. Moravia tied the game up with a two run fourth and the teams went scoreless for the next four and a half innings. The Mohawks tallied the game-winner in the extra-inning contest in the ninth.

Josh Dunsbergen took the loss, pitching one inning, allowing one run on two hits and a walk. Isaac Collins was the Lynnville-Sully starter, going 3 2/3 innings and giving up three runs on two hits

and seven walks. He strike out one.

Kuhlmann threw 3 1/3 innings of one-hit scoreless ball for the Hawks. He walked four batters and struck out five.

Elijah Collins had a double while Carson Dunsbergen and Tyler Van Zante each had a single. Van Zante, Corbin James and Cody Gibbs each had an RBI. Lynnville-Sully plays at 6 p.m.

Friday against HLV in a home South Iowa Cedar League game in Sully.

Texas could make play for NASCAR all-star, finale races AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — State lawmakers have given Texas Motor Speedway a big helping hand if the state’s premier stock-car track wants to lobby for NASCAR’s All-Star race and season-ending championship.

The Texas Legislature approved a bill Thursday that makes those two races eligible for the state’s Major Events Reimbursement Program, the same fund that’s used to help attract big events such as the Super Bowl, the NCAA Tournament’s Final Four and Formula One’s U.S. Grand Prix. The two NASCAR events would fit right in, too.

NASCAR has already set its 2018 schedule with the All-Star race in May in Charlotte and the championship finale set for Homestead, Florida, in November. NASCAR has held the All-Star race in Charlotte almost every year since it was created in 1985, the lone exception a race in Atlanta in 1986.

Moving it would mean uprooting the race from an area most NASCAR teams call home.

Still, some drivers have said they’d like to move those events out of their traditional spots.

Cup Series leader Kyle Larson, who finished second in the All-Star race last week, has suggested moving both to generate driver and fan interest. Other big leagues do it and so should NASCAR, he said.

Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage declined comment, but previous moves by track officials point to TMS pursuing at least one of those events if the bill gets signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott, whose office oversees the fund.

In a short presentation to House lawmakers in April, TMS general counsel Rob Ramage focused on luring the All-Star race, which he called a “significant event.”

NASCAR Photo Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 M&M’s Caramel Toyota, and Kyle Larson, driver of the No. 42 Target Chevrolet, lead the field during the Monster Energy NASCAR All Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 20 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Ramage told lawmakers that Texas Motor Speedway envisions three to five days of events in cities across Texas, including Houston, Dallas, El Paso and Amarillo. He didn’t provide any details and Gossage declined AP’s request to detail the pitch Ramage made to lawmakers.

The Senate sponsor of the bill, Sen. Craig Estes, said he wasn’t aware of the track’s plans but wants to bring the races to Texas for the NASCAR fans in his state.

The Major Events Reimbursement Fund is controlled by the governor’s office and eligibility is limited to events specifically noted in state law. For those events, it can be a pot of tens of millions of dollars that can be used to offset expenses of hosting, drastically limiting organizers’ financial liability.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Kevin Durant drove through the lane untouched for dazzling dunks time and again, finishing with 38 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in his first NBA Finals for Golden State and leading the Warriors past LeBron James and the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers, 113-91 on Thursday night in Game 1.

Stephen Curry scored 28 points with six 3-pointers and 10 assists as this sure-to-be thrilling trilogy began at last, a long-expected, spectacular grand finale envisioned ever since that July day Durant left Oklahoma City to join the loaded Warriors.

James wound up with 28 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists a day after dealing with bigotry far away from basketball.

Someone painted a racial slur — the N-word — on the gate of his Los Angeles home, leaving James to address racism rather than his seventh straight Finals appearance or stopping KD. James said he would do his best to be ready for the series opener when his mind was elsewhere, concerned for his wife and children back in Ohio.

Durant punished Cleveland for leaving him free, taking the ball to the hoop for emphatic dunks as a man on a mission to deliver exactly what he came for: a championship. He had six slams in the first half alone for the Warriors, who at 13-0 are already the first team to go this far in a postseason unblemished.

“I think the start of the game, we were a little too anxious and we missed some layups, we gave up some open shots,” Durant said. “I think we just locked in from the second quarter on.”

Game 2 in the series is Sunday night back at Oracle Arena with its deafening sellout crowd.

Kyrie Irving, who hit the deciding 3-pointer with Curry’s hand in his face last June as Cleveland rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to win the city’s first major team title in 52 years, scored 24 points on 10-of-22 shooting.

Kevin Love grabbed 21 rebounds and scored 15 points, while Tristan Thompson was held scoreless and to four boards.

Durant’s only other Finals ended at the hands of LeBron and Miami in 2012. He shot 14-for-26 in his fifth 30-point performance this postseason, receiving a rousing ovation when he sat down for good with 2:16 remaining.

Curry sported a fresh haircut for the occasion and the two-time reigning MVP initially wore a black sleeve on his shooting arm to protect a tender elbow that still had some swelling, but he quickly removed it and found his stroke. He shot 11-for-22, 6-of-11 on 3-pointers.

This marks the first time in NBA history the same two teams played in three straight Finals and just the fourth time it has happened in the four major sports leagues.

The shooting was far from pretty, and Cleveland’s defense was a step behind most of the night, unable to stop the star-studded roster of All-Stars and key role players on the other side.

Golden State finally warmed up after nine days off, while the Cavs had a six-day break since beating Boston in the Eastern Conference finals.

Warriors starting center Zaza Pachulia returned after missing the final two games at San Antonio with a bruised right heel and contributed eight points and six rebounds while plugging the paint.

Golden State’s four turnovers tied an NBA Finals low.

20. Jeff Tedford, Fresno State Fresno State is a shadow of the program that once routinely knocked off power teams. And Tedford hasn’t been a head coach since he was fired by Cal in 2012.

21. Jay Norvell, Nevada The Colin Kaepernick years created a false sense of what reasonable expectations should be at a program that ranks near the bottom of the Mountain West in athletic revenue.

Norvell is a career assistant getting his first shot as a head coach at age 55.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

It’s a good thing you have quick reflexes, because you’ll need them in today’s dicey social scenario. You might have to backpedal, pull your proverbial foot out of your mouth, or jump in to save someone from sure embarrassment.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Getting this one right before you even start will save you time, money and headaches.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you’re too strict with yourself, you will surely rebel. Loosen up. Otherwise you may find yourself craving forbidden fruits (maybe ones you didn’t even know you liked!) in reaction to trying to be too perfect.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Patience isn’t the most exciting virtue, and there are many who don’t see its appeal.

However, those who have patience can win the whole game just by avoiding the mistakes that impatient people make.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The rightness of an action makes you brave. You don’t even have to think about it. You dive in and do the necessary thing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To complain is to release some tension and perhaps gain the acknowledgement of a person who agrees. But this comes at a cost. Maybe the tension is a good thing if it forces you to take action instead of complain.

When a bee becomes incensed, it stings the offender and then shortly after pays a price with his own life. Anger is not usually as costly an emotion for humans, and yet it’s still a good idea to de-escalate conflict.
