Beck’s Hybrids in Colfax hosts tour

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News

COLFAX — Gov. Kim Reynolds and Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg stopped in Colfax Wednesday morning for a tour of Beck’s Hybrids. The tour included a walk through the indoor facility and a tractor ride through some of Beck’s farmland.

Sen. Chaz Allen, Colfax Mayor David Mast, Beck’s President Scott Beck and several Beck’s employees accompanied Reynolds and Gregg during their first

Jasper County visit since taking office.

Farming equipment and bags of seed stacked up several feet high fill the inside of the facility, which sits right off Interstate 80. Beck’s is a family owned retail seed company that serves farmers in Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Missouri.

The Colfax location isn’t for production and processing — it’s for distribution of seed.

“This is a key location because it’s central to Iowa, and it allows us to really expand the farmers that we can serve in the state,” Beck said.

Agriculture research is also key to the Colfax site. Beck’s is currently running 40 studies at the facility.

“It’s the type of research that farmers are most interested in because it’s things they’re making decisions on every day — things like tillage practices, what rate of nitrogen to use, what population to plant,” Beck said.

Evenly-planted rows of corn and soybean crops are growing on the land. The studies include fungicide comparisons, till versus no-till practices, cover crops, planting date, fertilizer placement and more.

Reynolds and Gregg hopped on a seated trailer pulled by a tractor to tour the farming studies. Miles McGovney of Beck’s served as the tour guide for the outside portion of the visit.

Work is continuing to make the Cardinal Ridge townhome development a reality.

City council approved the Alliance Construction Group of Grimes with the low bid of $230,143 for the roadway paving project connecting West 12th Street South to the subdivision for a public hearing on Monday.

The city is developing 4.25 acres of land west of the former Newton

Country Club into a high-quality development site for 13 lots for premium townhomes.

As a part of the development, infrastructure construction work connecting the subdivision to the existing roadway has started.

Council previously approved Halbrook Excavating, of Ankeny, to construct the roadway and public utilities for the townhomes subdivision. Utilities including the water and COUNCIL | 3A

Newton Lion’s Club, humane society to hold pancake fundraiser

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News The Newton Lion’s Club is teaming up with the Jasper County Humane Society this month for the annual pancake fundraiser.

Attendees will enjoy an all-you-can-eat breakfast while interacting with animals from the humane society from 5 to 10 a.m.

June 17.

The Lion’s Club is raising money to go toward its effort in guaranteeing adults and children in the community receive proper eye glasses and hearing aids.

Newton Lion’s Club

President Nancy Sharon said the Lions assisted 300 children in the Newton Community School District with receiving glasses last year.

The organization Kidsight partners with Lion’s Clubs nationwide to participate in hassle-free eye screenings of children.

Often times, children who are 6 or younger usually don’t know if they are far or nearsighted.

“When Lion’s Club members go into schools there 10 to 15 percent are referred,” Sharon said.

Sharon said the compassion doesn’t stop there.

Identity Flip open for business in Newton

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News Local entrepreneur Brock Patterson has been building businesses for more than 20 years.

His latest endeavor, Identity Flip, aims to help fellow small businesses grow through branding and promotional products.

Identity Flip opened June 1 at 113 S. Second Ave. E. As a member of Advertising Specialty Institute, Identity Flip has access to more than 3,000 suppliers which sell about a million different products used for promotion.

Mugs, pens, T-shirts and other promotional products can be an effective way to expand awareness of a company and build a brand. There is established competition in this market, but Identity Flip offers more than just promotional items.

“Our focus is really more on the creative side of it,” Patterson said. “That’s where we’re geared to be different.”

Identity Flip will work with businesses on creating a logo and developing a consistent message. The company is implementing a threepart process — create, connect, convert.

In the beginning phase, Identity Flip will go through a questionnaire with each client to get a feel for what the client is currently doing for branding. Typically, Patterson said, small businesses don’t have huge marketing budgets, so they have to be creative in the way they go about marketing.

“Currently, I’m really focused on meeting with clients, building our brand, getting our name out there,” he said.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Thursday, June 8, the 159th day of 2017. There are 206 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 8, 1967, during the six-day Middle East war, 34 American servicemen were killed when Israel attacked the USS Liberty, a Navy intelligence-gathering ship in the Mediterranean Sea. (Israel later said the Liberty had been mistaken for an Egyptian vessel.)

On this date: In A.D. 632, the prophet Muhammad died in Medina.

In 1867, modern American architect Frank Lloyd Wright was born in Richland Center, Wis. In 1939, Britain’s King George VI and his consort, Queen Elizabeth, arrived in Washington, D.C., where they were received at the White House by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

In 1953, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that restaurants in the District of Columbia could not refuse to serve blacks.

In 1972, during the Vietnam War, an Associated Press photographer took a picture of a screaming 9-year-old girl, Phan Thi Kim Phuc, as she ran naked and severely burned from the scene of a South Vietnamese napalm attack.

In 1987, Fawn Hall began testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings, describing how, as secretary to National Security aide Oliver L. North, she had helped to shred some documents and spirit away others.

In 1995, U.S. Marines rescued Capt.

Scott O’Grady, whose F-16C fighter jet had been shot down by Bosnian Serbs on June 2. Mickey Mantle received a liver transplant at a Dallas hospital; however, the baseball great died two months later.

Ten years ago: Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced the Bush administration was replacing Gen. Peter Pace as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and recommending Adm. Mike Mullen for the job. Mary Winkler, who killed her preacher husband with a shotgun blast to the back as he lay in bed, was sentenced in Selmer, Tennessee, to three years in prison (she ended up serving 67 days in custody, 12 in jail and the rest in a mental health facility).

Five years ago: President Barack Obama declared “the private sector is doing fine,” prompting Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to ask, “Is he really that out of touch?” (Obama quickly clarified his remarks, saying it was “absolutely clear that the economy is not doing fine.”)

One year ago: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told the U.S. Congress that the world’s two largest democracies could anchor stability and prosperity from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific in an aspirational speech that glossed over continuing divisions in the relationship. Maria Sharapova (shah-rah-POH’-vah) was suspended for two years by the International Tennis Federation for testing positive for meldonium at the Australian Open. (The ban, which was backdated to Jan. 26, 2016, was later reduced to 15 months.) Tim McGraw ended Carrie Underwood’s four-year-winning streak for the top prize at the 2016 CMT Music Awards in Nashville with his music video for “Humble and Kind.”

The studies are aimed at helping farmers be as efficient as possible, McGovney said.

“It may cost you $10-15,000 to incorporate a newer technology on your farm. But what’s that going to do for the next year, two years, three years, four years on your farm,” McGovney said.

Reynolds spoke about the use of technology and data in agriculture. She said the high-tech aspect of farming is what younger people enjoy.

“That’s one of the reasons we’re seeing young people come back to farm instead of flee it, which we have seen in previous generations,” Reynolds said. “They really want to be a part of it and see themselves as a resource for their family farms to keep them alive and growing and profitable.”

Beck also said it was important to appeal to young people.

“We’re highly interested in our next generation and making sure that we’ve got a pipeline of educated people that understand agribusiness and want to work in agribusiness, have a passion for it,” Beck said.

Setting up shop in Colfax was by far the smoothest process Beck’s has experienced, Beck said. Obtaining local permits and working with public officials went well.

“We actually moved the timeline up on this facility because of the rapid progress we made with permitting and those types of things,” Beck said. “We weren’t expecting things to happen that quickly based on what we’ve experienced in some other locations.”

Reynolds said the tour was great for the lieutenant governor and herself to see the technologies being developed and to see the outreach Beck’s is providing for Iowa’s agriculture community.

sewer lines will be constructed to serve not only the current subdivision but parts of the development designed for the future.

All fun and games I

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

often think I had one of the best high school physical education teachers in the state. Mr. Dan Kopriva never failed to come up with fun and exciting things to get all of us lazy high schoolers to be active for 45 minutes without having to play dodgeball all the time.

We did play our fair share of dodgeball, but with different variations of the game. My favorite was what we called “Crazy Basketball.” It made use of the basketball hoops and backboards in the gym. If you happen to hit the backboard, anyone on your team who was out was allowed to re-enter the game, sort of like prisonball. If you made a basket; however, both teams had to rush to the bench and the last team to have all members seated lost. It was fun.

We played the other PE staples as well

— softball, kickball, four square, wall ball, volleyball, basketball, hockey, soccer, some golf, tennis, bowling and flag football. We also played some games that are a little less “mainstream.” I learned how to play pickleball, badminton, disc golf (as I mentioned in a previous column), pingpong and racquetball. I’m sure I’m missing some. We even had those four-wheel scooters that were hard on the back and the fingers — personally, I hated those things. We also had a skating unit where the class would strap on roller skates for a solid month. I had a blast with that one.

Another game we tried was croquet.

Mr. Kopriva attempted to teach us the rules, and we made our way through a course set up just outside the school. We played a few times, but I don’t think it went well. We never played it again after

that year.

When I was a kid, we had a few croquet mallets and balls in grandpa’s garage that my siblings and I would hit. We wouldn’t actually play the game; however, I have recently learned the set once belonged to my Grandma Rodgers. She used to play the game with her three sisters. I had no idea. It just makes me wish we still had it now.

The only reason I have given the game any thought recently was because my fiancé, Tim, and I tried and failed to arrange a family outing to the golf course.

It just wasn’t going to work out. That’s when Tim mentioned if we had a croquet set, we could play that in the backyard instead.

I immediately acquired a cheap, but adequate set and gave it to Tim for his birthday. He loved it. We took it with us on a visit to my parents, and we played with my siblings. My dad was excited. He got up early and did some research, wanting to find the official rules and proper course setup. Did you know Wimbledon

was originally a Croquet Club? I didn’t either but Dad found that in his research.

The All England Croquet Club was formed in the late 1850s. The lawns were converted into tennis courts in the 1870s, and the rest as they say is history.

But I digress.

That first day was fun. We were all equally bad, but by the second and third round, we were improving. Tim and I brought the set with us for Memorial Day Weekend. We had my parents backyard all set with outdoor fun. We grilled out, ate watermelon, played bags and of course, croquet. The set was only for six players so we had to improvise with a few old baseballs Mom and Dad had laying around the house to get all eight of us into the game. What a fantastic weekend it turned out to be.

Now, Tim says he has a badminton set he really wants me to try out. I’m just hoping all those skills Mr. Kopriva taught me aren’t too rusty when we do.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Try Haiti for a mission-trip Wanna get out of yourself and do a little something for mankind and the world on your next vacation? Instead of the madcap, see-it-all, do-it-all trip to Disney World in Florida, keep going southeast to Haiti — no, not the touristy Dominican Republic on the other side of the island, but hurricane-and-earthquake ravaged Haiti, via Port-au-Prince. You might make a difference to some very needy people.

Vicki Proctor, 68, whose job involves helping people at Hospice in Ottumwa, finds that there is still something more that needs to be done. She spends her vacation helping the needy in Haiti. Each February Proctor takes her two weeks of vacation (plus two days), buys a round-trip ticket, and heads, with a church group, to Port-au-Prince. She went once in August, but it was too hot, and got sick. The drinking water from the faucet is fine in Haiti, but there is no hot water. Proctor doesn’t wash her hair for the two weeks she is there.

The church group also pays their own room and board while there — $59 a day. They stay in a concrete building, with concrete floors next to the church, and sleep in bunk beds. It’s called the guest house. Yes, there might be geckos on the wall, but they are harmless. She has seen only one tarantula. They can have their rooms fumigated once a day if they want, and Proctor usually does.

The missionaries are furnished with two meals a day — lunch and supper, which is usually rice and beans, but sometimes there is a type of pizza and gumbo. They are on their own for breakfast. Proctor gets real tired of breakfast bars before the mission trip is over, but she toughs it out. After all, people are starving all around her.

The missionaries take two suitcases — one of personal items, the other full of clothes and black shoes (it has to be black shoes), and items such as Tylenol, vitamins, pre-natal vitamins and worm pills. This second suitcase is left in Haiti. When they take suitcases, they know the supplies will get there.

The Haitians remember her from the previous year and welcome her back by name. It makes the whole trip worthwhile. There is a lot of hugging and kissing when they arrive.

On one excursion to take 35 pounds of food to the poor, the van they were in had a flat tire, with no spare. While they were waiting for another tire, they just gave the food away to the poor around them. Maybe God had a plan.

The Haitian poor are on foot or on small, 125 cc motorcycles, called Motos. Sometimes there will be five-to-seven people on a Moto, with a huge sack of rice and beans.

Incredible! The people also travel in what are called, “taptaps” — old school buses, vans or trucks. Most of the taptaps have “Jesus” written on the side and Scriptures. They can pack an amazing number of people in the back of a tap-tap.

A beautiful young Haitian woman was going to have a baby. One morning she was taken to the hospital to have the baby. By 3 o’clock she was discharged and stopped by the church. Proctor got to hold the beautiful baby boy. He was so precious with tiny ringlets of black hair. Two days later the baby was buried. He had died during the night.

Proctor woke to the sound of saws. A coffin was being made.

When the Haitians go to church they wear one pair of shoes and carry the other. Arriving at church, they leave their walking shoes at the door, and put on their church shoes.

The feeding program at the church is at least once a month. They get rice and beans, fish, oil, spaghetti, matches and soap.

If you would like to go on a mission trip to Haiti, call the Northgate Alliance Church in Ottumwa at 641-6848811.You can make a difference.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Berniecrats and #DemExit progressives need to work together

By Kris Craig In the aftermath of the DNC unapologetically rigging its primaries against progressive Bernie Sanders supporters in 2016, a growing number of progressives and young voters are choosing to leave the Democratic Party, citing what they describe as irreparable corruption. Many others, however, believe the best way to fight back is to effect a hostile takeover of the party from within. The fact that we have these competing views is not a problem. What is a problem, however, is the prevailing assumption among both factions that these two strategies are mutually exclusive. I don’t believe that they are.

Proponents of an internal revolution within the Democratic Party, led by Sen. Bernie Sanders, will tell you that the current two-party duopoly makes any effort to run for higher office outside one of the two major parties virtually impossible. Instead, they’re focusing on taking over the party at the local levels and launching primary challenges against the establishment-supported incumbents. These are sound ideas, though detractors are quick to point out that they do have flaws.

Progressives who have decided to kick the Democrats to the curb argue that fighting for equal representation within a party that has already demonstrated that they’re willing to violate even their own rules in order to prevent that from happening is a futile endeavor. After all, if too many people are voting for the candidate the leadership doesn’t

like, they can always just prevent people from voting again by altering their party affiliations in closed primary states without their consent like they did in 2016. That’s in addition to the corporate media already declaring the establishment candidate the winner before a single vote is cast. These folks, often identified by the “#DemExit” hashtag, mostly believe that starting a new party or joining an existing third party is the only answer.

Therein lies the problem, according to many Berniecrats.

While there’s a consensus among #DemExit supporters that it’s time for progressives and young people to leave the Democratic Party, nobody can seem to agree on exactly where we should all go from there. In our severely outdated first-past-the-post voting system, scattering votes across many different candidates and parties essentially guarantees that your movement will have little to no representation.

Both of these factions make valid arguments, which has led to a lot of debate and disagreement. Unfortunately, this has also resulted in a growing amount of animosity and division among progressives. In some cases, I’ve even seen outright in-fighting, where each group accuses the other of not being progressive and/or trying to sabotage the movement. This needs to stop, as it accomplishes nothing and plays right into the hands of those in the political establishment who would like to see us remain marginalized and ignored.

So which strategy do I think is best? That’s simple: Both. There’s

no reason why we can’t fight to take over the Democratic Party from within while also putting pressure on them in the form of outside challenges, especially if the two factions coordinate their efforts.

For example, Berniecrats who manage to gain enough control at the state-level can push the states to adopt ranked choice instant-runoff voting, which would mean that independent and third-party candidates would no longer be at a disadvantage because “lesser-evilism” would no longer apply. Everyone could vote for who they want without having to worry about helping the Boogey Man du jour win. This will enable the #DemExit faction to start really making gains, diminishing the power and resources of the two major parties as they lose seats all across the country. That, in turn, should weaken the neoliberal party establishment enough for the Berniecrats to finally succeed in claiming the Democratic Party as their own.

The blueprint to our success lies in mutual cooperation, not converting everyone to the same way of thinking. People who want to leave the party should do so, while those who choose to remain should not be discouraged.

Instead of focusing on trying to convince the other side that your way is better, try to think of how you could use the benefits of your way to help them with what they’re trying to accomplish. Diversity of perspectives is not a weakness. It is perhaps our greatest strength. So let’s use it and work together toward our common goals.

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.

Man gets needed health care in a marriage of convenience DEAR ABBY: I’m in a second marriage, which was only for the benefit of insurance so my husband could get insurance through my employer’s plan. We were together for many years before getting married.

He received the health care he needed, and I’m ready to move forward with my life as a single person.

However, he now says he’s happy being married. THAT WAS NOT OUR AGREEMENT. I am not interested in spending any more time being dissatisfied with this relationship. What he brought to it was not all that I wanted, and he knew this.

I’m ready to move forward, but don’t want to lose his friendship. What’s the best way to approach this? I have spoken to him about another procedure he needs, but he is stalling. — MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE DEAR M.O.C.: You have devoted enough to this man’s welfare. In a marriage, both parties are supposed to be happy, and he already knows you’re not. It may not be possible to move forward and keep his friendship. If he needs another procedure, give him a deadline to have it done. If he hasn’t had it by then, feel free to file.

DEAR ABBY: My grown son has broken up with his girlfriend. They were together for five months. He feels his life is over. His dad and I have been helping him get over it. He has a 7-year-old son who lives with him and we want him to be strong. He calls us every day and he’s beginning to sound like a broken record, repeating the same story again and again.

I know time will make it easier, but in the short term, how do we help him tap into his inner strength and be an adult about this? He goes to work, so that’s a blessing. How do people make it through breakups and cope with the grief? — SAD FOR HIM DEAR SAD: They depend upon

their friends and family to listen to them while they vent. And if that doesn’t work, they do it in the office of a licensed therapist. Because what you’re telling your son hasn’t helped, please suggest it.

DEAR ABBY: When I was 7, my mother hosted a birthday party for me. When we made out the guest list, there was a girl who wasn’t popular who I didn’t want to invite. Mom told me to invite her or I wouldn’t have a party. I invited her, but she didn’t come.

That lesson of inclusiveness made a big impression on me. Later, in school, I became an unpopular girl. I missed many of my classmates’ parties because of it, but the lesson stayed with me.

In high school and beyond I have befriended people who were unpopular or who are seen as misfits. And you know what? My life has been richer from these experiences. So I would like to offer a belated thank-you to my mother for making me invite that little girl years ago, because it shaped my life. — KATHY IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR KATHY: Your mother is a wise and compassionate woman. The lesson here is, popularity can be fleeting. But having compassion for people who need it is forever.

Report cites improper use of school seclusion rooms in Iowa

IOWA CITY (AP) — The Iowa City Community School District occasionally sent students to padded seclusion rooms for minor infractions such as stepping out of line, though the rooms are intended to be used to prevent students from harming themselves or others, according to a state Department of Education review.

After a complaint filed last year, the department reviewed more than 450 incidents of seclusion involving more than 60 students in the district from Dec. 22, 2015, to Dec. 21, 2016.

Officials also visited two of the district’s school buildings. The padded, wooden rooms are roughly 6-by-6-foot.

About four percent of the cases reviewed involved the seclusion room being used for minor infractions by students such as stepping out of line, having an attitude, being out of instructional control or using foul language.

“Seclusion for minor infractions is not a reasonable response,” wrote Thomas Mayes, a complaint officer and attorney with the Education Department, in his report.

Mayes also said schools had improper documentation of incidents involving the seclusion room and that the frequent use of seclusion may interfere with a child’s right to free appropriate public education under federal law.

He said the district must review and revise all policies and procedures involving seclusion rooms and increase staff training on using the rooms. He also recommended school officials meet to discuss any child who’s been restricted 10 or more times in a 12-month period.

The review found that 18 kids were placed in seclusion six times or more and accounted for more than 75 percent of the total number of seclusions in the district.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota regulators have scheduled late-summer hearings on potentially finable offenses alleged against the Texas-based developer of the Dakota Access oil pipeline.

The North Dakota Public Service Commission is investigating whether Energy Transfer Partners removed too many trees and shrubs while laying pipe in the state and improperly reported the discovery of Native American artifacts along the route. No artifacts were disturbed.

The three-member commission has set a half-day hearing Aug. 16 on the artifacts dispute and a full-day hearing Aug. 17 on the tree issue. Both are open to the public. The hearings were scheduled after the commission decided during a May 31 meeting that they were the best means of resolving the disputes, after what Commissioner Julie Fedorchak described as “a fair amount of back and forth the last few months” between company officials and commission staff.

Energy Transfer Partners maintains that it didn’t intentionally do anything wrong and that it plans to plant two trees for every one removed, which would need the approval of regulators. The company could face fines of up to $400,000 if found to have violated state rules, though it could fight any fines imposed by regulators in state district court. The $3.8 billion pipeline is moving North Dakota oil through South Dakota and Iowa to a distribution point in Illinois. President Donald Trump’s administration and the courts allowed construction to wrap up earlier this year after months of protests by American Indian tribes and environmental groups that fear pollution.

In Iowa, June is recognized annually as Great Outdoors Month, to remind all Iowans and visitors to step outside, enjoy the state’s scenic beauty and recreational opportunities, and renew their commitment to stewardship of Iowa’s natural resources.

Great Outdoors Month is designed to focus on the importance of simple outdoor activity and appreciation of Iowa’s natural resources, by promoting biking, swimming, hiking, paddling, fishing, hunting, boating, bird watching, camping and gen-

eral nature exploration of our lakes, prairies, woodlands, rivers and wetlands.

“Getting outdoors promotes good health for both the mind and body, and helps create memorable experiences with family and friends.” said DNR Director Chuck Gipp. “Iowa has outstanding opportunities for outdoor recreation.”

Iowa’s parks, forests and wildlife areas reflect the state’s natural and cultural history and attract millions of recreationists each year. Iowa’s state parks alone expect to host more than 900,000 overnight stays and more than 15 million day visits this year.

The national economic impact of outdoor recreation exceeds $650 billion in annual expenditures. In Iowa alone, outdoor recre-

ation supports an estimated 105,000 jobs.

“Enjoyment of the outdoors cultivates a deeper

appreciation of our natural resources,” Gipp said, “which eventually leads to better environmental stewardship,

and no one understands this better than Iowans, who are committed to conserve and protect our water, air, wildlife and lands. They contribute to conservation efforts through various licenses and fees, and realize the direct relationship between natural resource conservation and the quality of life in our state.”

Great Outdoors Month also provides an opportunity to celebrate the partnership of federal, state and local agencies, the recreation and tourism industries and recreationists which makes outdoor opportunities available, Gipp said.

Cardinals break through against Pella

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Seniors Tyler Stanton, Trey Vanderlaan and Reagan Maple played pivotal roles in halting Newton High’s 12-game losing skid. The Cardinals hadn’t marked up a game in the win column for the 2017 baseball season.

Well, they have one now. The Cardinals bounced back after visiting Pella run-ruled them 13-0 in five innings to open the twin bill at Eversman Field. Newton claimed its first win, beating the Little Dutch 4-3.

“Tyler pitched lights out and Reagan called a great game behind the plate. Trey has been our top hitter and he keeps putting the ball in play,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said. “We got the monkey off our backs. The first win is always the hardest to get. Now, the pressure is off and our guys can relax and play Cardinal-style baseball.”

Stanton threw a four-hitter. Brisel said Stanton had all of his pitches working, especially the off-speed pitches, to keep the good-hitting Pella squad off balance. Stanton did not yield a walk and struck out one.

Stanton did have back-to-back balks which allowed Pella’s final run in the seventh inning.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Tyler Stanton (17) gathers in a throw to second base as Pella’s Gabe Thomas (3) slides into the bag during the first game of Wednesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader at Newton. Stanton pitched a complete game in the second contest as Newton claimed its first win of the season, 4-3, over the visiting Little Dutch.

Newton softball sweeps Pella in LHC doubleheader

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Trailing 2-0, Newton High’s Cardinals loaded the bases in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Taylor Ryan ripped a double to center field to clear the bases.

The Newton softball team, behind the pitching of Anna Coyle, claimed a 3-2 win over visiting Pella on Wednesday night in the first game of a Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader. The second game was all Cardinals — a run-

ruled 13-3 win in five innings.

With the sweep of the Lady Dutch, Newton improved to 5-1 in conference play and it kept Pella winless, 0-6, in the LHC. The Cardinals are 9-5 overall and the Lady Dutch are 3-12.

Ryan delivered two of the team’s four hits in the opening game. She had a single to go with her three-run double.

Emily Valtman and Kennedy Leiker each had a single.

In the fifth inning, Kennedy Leiker drew a leadoff walk

and went to second on a wild pitch. Karley Leiker reached on a base-on-balls. Bailey Davis’ sacrifice bunt moved the runners up a base. Valtman was hit by a pitch to load the SOFTBALL | 8B

Settling in to the community F

or those of you who use social media, you are likely aware of the Timehop feature on Facebook.

I recently got a Timehop photo that took me back a year ago when my family and I bought our Newton home and posted up for what we hope is a long future in the community.

One year after leaving our first home in Des Moines, the family is happy as could be.

I am happy that I no longer have to drive 40 minutes and to and from work from the middle of Des Moines.

I enjoy being able to need only 5-10 minutes to get across town.

Aubrey has finished her first year of preschool. We wanted to be in a community like Newton before she started school so we are very thankful things

This & That Troy Hyde worked out for us before that happened.

She enjoyed her first year here. She went to preschool twice a week, attended a speech class on Mondays and took part in story time with Dad on Thursdays. It’s been a fun year for us.

And she’s talking more and more and brings a certain spunk to the table every day.

After spending nine years as a special education teacher in the Urbandale school district, my wife finished up her first year as an elementary teacher at Thomas Jefferson last week.

Her summer is less than a week in, but it was a solid first year for her. She’ll get a new principal in her second year, but she’ll adapt. It’s something she has gotten used to while working for the Urbandale school district.

It seems like just yesterday that we

signed the papers and moved into our new home. We joke every day about it not feeling real even today. But we are getting used to the new life. Our pets are enjoying their split-level home, too.

I knew our area softball teams had a chance to be really good this year.

All five schools brought back enough talent to compete in their respective leagues. But the group appears to be even better than I thought.

After solid playoff runs last year and with so many key returners, I expected Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Colfax-Mingo to be in the rankings to start the year.

Prairie City-Monroe has eight seniors. The Mustangs look really good right now and in the driver’s seat for the Heart of Iowa Conference title after one rotation. The two best teams are no doubt PCM and CMB. That rematch in Monroe on June 19 will be fun.

Colfax-Mingo has had an up and down start. But the Tigerhawks play a tough schedule, and the South Iowa Cedar League is loaded with top-

end talent. Three teams are currently ranked and Lynnville-Sully, another area school, probably will be before too long.

Newton has shown it can compete with the best teams when it defeated Class 4A No. 1 Oskaloosa on Monday.

Tally up the record for our five area softball teams and you’ll get 42-17.

Entering the season, I thought CMB and Colfax-Mingo had pretty good shots to make the state tournament in 2A and 1A, respectively. But after two weeks, PCM looks like it could be a state contender in 3A and Newton could make a run in 4A. The brackets aren’t out yet, but Colfax-Mingo and Lynnville-Sully may be in each other’s path for the state tournament. The Tigerhawks eliminated the Hawks last year, but L-S has been a consistent participant in Fort Dodge the past five seasons.

With no more spring events to cover, I am full steam ahead on baseball and softball. Let’s buckle up for what should be a fun ride this summer.

No. 13 Mustangs rout Nevada

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — The Prairie City-Monroe softball team’s lineup is pick your poison.

On any given night, someone from the Mustangs’ lineup can lead the offense. Wednesday, the Mustangs cranked out 15 more hits from seven different batters, and a big second inning led Class 3A No. 13 PCM to an easy 11-1 triumph over Nevada.

Seniors Jayci Vos and Kayla Jennings combined to go 7-for-7 with three runs and six RBIs. Sophomore Anna Shaver also went 3-for-3 and scored three times as the Mustangs stayed unbeaten in Heart of Iowa Conference play.

“We have a really strong team this year. Our lineup has been great,” said Jennings, who was 3-for-3 with four RBIs. “It’s not just one person in one game. It’s a lot of us in every game. We really worked in the cage on slowing it down and hitting our pitch and we are hitting the ball right now.”

Junior Madison Foster had two hits, three runs and a pair of RBIs from the No. 8 spot in the lineup. Leadoff hitter Abby Waddell collected two hits, too.

“Anybody on any given day can lead us,” PCM coach Scott Bridges said. “All of these girls can hit. They work hard at it and are just seeing it and hitting it.”

The Mustangs bounced back from a narrow 3-2 loss to 4A No. 12 Carlisle on Tuesday.

PCM led 1-0 after one inning against Nevada but blew the game open with a five-run second and then ended the game after five innings following a three-run fourth and a tworun fifth.

Vos hit three doubles in the game. She hit a one-out double in the first inning and then coasted to the plate after a Jennings RBI single.

Senior Brooke Nicholson and Shaver opened the second inning with back-to-back singles. Foster reached on a fielder’s choice to load the bases and then Nicholson scored on a sacrifice fly out to center by junior Kenzie Johnson.

Waddell reached on another fielder’s choice to load the bas-

The Tigerhawks cranked out 13 hits in the win. They are now 8-4 overall and 5-2 in the SICL. Belle Plaine fell to 6-3 overall and 3-3 in conference play.

Colfax-Mingo led 4-1 after two innings and then tacked on three more runs to win easily.

Belle Plaine had two hits at the plate against Russell (6-1).

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe sophomore Anna Shaver lays down a bunt for a single in the second inning of the Mustangs’ 11-1, five-inning win over Nevada on Wednesday. Shaver was 3-for-3 with three runs, and the Class 3A No. 13 Mustangs are now 7-0 in conference play.

es. That’s when Vos delivered a two-run double to make it 4-1.

Vos and Waddell came around to score on Jennings’ two-out, two-run single by Jennings.

The Mustangs (9-2 overall, 7-0 in the HOIC) sent 10 batters to the plate in the inning.

“I was worried about the first inning because of the slower pitching,” Bridges said.

“I just went to some small ball to get their nose over the ball a little bit so they could see it.

Once they were seeing it, we went back to it and they starting swinging. Sometimes that’s the trick.”

Vos came into the game hitting .591, but that average will climb after going 4-for-4 with three runs and two RBIs. She is batting as a left-handed slapper for the first time in her high school career, too.

“Back in November is when that started. We have been working on that a lot this offseason,” Vos said. “I was at a

hitting clinic at DMACC. We decided to give slapping a try then so I attended a slapping clinic and went from there.”

Bridges said he had never had a player who slapped before. If one of his best players was going to do it, he wanted to be able to teach it.

“I learned how to do it and am just trying to help her when needed,” Bridges said.

“She’s pretty good at it, but I won’t take any credit. She’s an athlete and can just do things like that.”

PCM tacked on three runs in the fourth. Foster drove in Shaver with an RBI triple and then RBI singles by Waddell and Jennings and made it 9-1.

Shaver reached on an infield single with one out in the fourth. Foster drove her in with an RBI double. Vos brought home Foster with her third double of the game.

Nevada got its only run of the game in the second inning.

Mustangs rally past Nevada

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PRAIRIE CITY — Senior Ethan Thomas hit a two-run home run, junior Noah Henkenius fired 6 2/3 innings on the mound and the Prairie City-Monroe baseball team rallied past Nevada at home on Wednesday during Heart of Iowa Conference action.

The Cubs plated three runs in the second to take an early lead, but Thomas blasted his first homer of the season in the fourth to put the Mustangs on the board. PCM added a pair of runs in the fifth and three more in the sixth to win 7-3.

Henkenius (2-1) allowed three earned runs on seven hits while walking one, hitting two and fanning two. He was pulled with two outs in the seventh inning after hitting back-toback Cub hitters to load the bases.

Sophomore Brayton Van Dyke ended the game with a three-pitch strikeout for the save.

Thomas came into the game with a .500 batting average, but improved that after going 2-for-2 with three RBIs. Sophomore Reed Worth was 2-for-3 with an RBI, sophomore Preston Van Wyk and Braden Phifer had two hits apiece and Henkenius added one hit and one RBI. Senior Noah Clark recorded two RBIs on an infield fly rule in the sixth. With the bases loaded, Clark hit the ball over a drawn in infield, and the umpires called an infield fly on a ball that reached the outfield.

PCM (8-3 overall, 5-3 in the HOIC) won its fourth straight game. Nevada dropped to 6-2 overall and 5-2 in the HOIC. Contact Troy Hyde at 641-792-3121 ext. 6536 or thyde@newtondailynews.com

Sophomore Maya Hegwood surrendered just two hits in the game and the one run was unearned. Hegwood improved to 3-1 on the season.

Jennings, the team’s ace pitcher, played centerfield for the first time this season because Waddell had to take over for an injured Jaiden Rogers at second base. The team didn’t miss much of a beat.

“We don’t have just one really great pitcher and then no one else,” Jennings said. “Maya is able to step in and get the job done. It feels good to have a rest once in a while.

“It’s good to mix it up. We have had some girls get hurt, but our team is very diverse.”

The Mustangs try to stay undefeated in the HOIC when they host 3A No. 12 North Polk at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Monroe.

Raiders score sweep of HOIC foe South Hamilton

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter baseball team was shut down for five innings by a South Hamilton pitcher who entered the game with an earned run average of 8.91.

But in the sixth, the Raiders rallied against the Hawks’ ace pitcher. Scoring three runs off Zeke Balderas, CMB snapped a four-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory during Heart of Iowa Conference play.

The Hawks (2-8 overall, 0-7 in the HOIC) scored first in the third when they plated two runs on CMB starter Travis Lindemoen. That would be all the visitors would get though as Lindemoen got the win.

Lindemoen (2-1) allowed two runs on two hits with four walks and eight strikeouts in six innings. Senior Creighton Caple earned the save after getting out of a bases loaded jam.

Senior Brady Kemp and freshman Cole

Damman both had two hits at the plate to lead the offense. Senior Brady Ross walked twice and scored a run.

SOFTBALL CMB 6, South Hamilton 1 Freshman Holly Jessen hit her first home run of the season, freshman Mikayla Houge added to her team-leading batting average with two hits and two RBIs and senior Abbey Kahler struck out seven inside the circle during the Raiders’ 6-1 conference win over South Hamilton on Wednesday.

CMB led 2-1 after two innings but pulled away with a four-run fourth.

Jessen led off the fourth with a solo home run, the second of her career. Kahler had two hits and an RBI at the plate and allowed one run on four hits in the circle. The Raider senior is now 3-3 on the season with 46 strikeouts and seven walks.

Astrograph

It’s the classic “angel on one shoulder, devil on the other” situation. Gemini skies have a tendency to produce two voices inside our heads, both posing as the voice of reason.

Sure, there are many shades of gray between the dark and the light. Nonetheless, today, only one voice will be right, and it will be pretty obvious which one it is.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 8). This year you put health and happiness first and are able to achieve more than ever because of this intelligent prioritizing. You’ll learn much as a part of a team.

There’s a chance to commit to a short-term relationship that

you’ll have the option to take long-term later. September and December are the most romantic months this year. Cancer and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 45, 15 and 26.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The fact of the matter is that when things come too easily, they are not enjoyed nearly as much as what was hard-won.

Though you’d like to give freely to someone, consider making the exchange slightly more challenging.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

All that you desire for this day will be accomplished, because you commit, buckle down, and

work until it’s finished. “Freedom” isn’t even on your list of values right now, and this will work just fine.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The science-fiction writer William Gibson suggested that the future is here; it just isn’t widely distributed yet. Nonetheless, you’re on the inside track and you’ll enjoy the technological perks of the elite.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Good leaders have clear rules enforced with consistency.

People need to know the reward or punishment for each action and they need to believe those consequences are every time and for all.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Art will imitate life, and life will imitate art to the extent that

it might get a little confusing about what’s real and what’s a copy. All you have to do is check in with your heart’s authenticity meter to know.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The ego acts in mysterious ways. It can make us feel superior, but it can also persuade us of our inferiority. Both ideas are wrong. If either idea is influencing an action, it’s a sign of ego interference. Pause.

Back up. Reassess.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Something rare and a little magical is coming together.

This involves people you love and people you will love all showing up at the same time and place to celebrate.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Since you’re not 3-years-old,

you don’t always say what pops into your head. Instead you try to cater your message to your audience. You most adore those around whom you least have to self-censor.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Personal growth and empowerment will involve a bit of scrutiny directed at your inner dialogue. There’s a chance that something you’ve been telling yourself is a falsehood you concocted to protect yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Many religions suggest that the ancestors are always there, ready to help, if we would only call on them. Why wait for a big problem to test the theory? No one will be put out if you ask for help with something small.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Those who would rather be right than be happy, peaceful or wealthy have definitely fallen prey to the illogic of an out-of-control ego. Your willingness to be wrong isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of health.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Amateurs go on about themselves for 10 minutes before bothering to inquire about the other person. Even when you’ve something to vent, you make sure the conversation is balanced -- one of the reasons you’re so popular.

Victory Continued from Page 1B “We learned in the first game how good of hitters Pella has, so we changed our approach in the second game.

Tyler did a great job,” Brisel said. “In the seventh, I went out and talked to him when they had a runner on. I just told him to relax and not worry about the base runner. If he scored it mattered. We had to concentrate on the batter.”

Newton had a 4-2 lead after the third inning as both teams scored their runs in the frame. Pella’s Caleb Piersma would single and score on the two balks by Stanton in the seventh. Stanton coaxed a fly ball from Pella’s Kaden Miedema and junior Trevor Ergenbright settled under the ball in center field for the final out.

Three of the Little Dutch’s four hits came in the top of the third inning. Pella had two singles to start the inning and with one gone Jaden Rolffs had a two-run triple. Stanton and the Cardinals got out of the inning with no more damage.

Golden State takes 3-0 lead in NBA Finals CLEVELAND (AP) — Kevin Durant drained a big 3-pointer with 45.3 seconds left and scored 31 points as the Golden State Warriors moved within one win of postseason perfection and payback by rallying to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 118-113 on Wednesday night to take a 3-0 lead in the NBA Finals.

The Warriors trailed by six with three minutes left before Durant, who signed with Gold-

en State last summer to win a championship, brought them back, scoring 14 in the fourth.

With their 15th straight win, the Warriors have the longest postseason streak for any team in the four major professional sports. And with a win in Game 4 on Friday night, Golden State can exorcise those haunting demons from last year when the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the Finals to the Cavaliers. Not team

has ever overcome a 3-0 deficit.

Klay Thompson added 30 points and Stephen Curry 26 for this California Dream Team now one win from its second title in three years.

LeBron James shook off a knee-buckling blow to the chin and every Golden State shot while scoring 39 and Kyrie Irving added 38 for the Cavs, who took a 113-107 lead with 3:09 left on J.R. Smith’s 3-pointer.

Bob Stoops retires as Oklahoma head football coach; Riley takes the reins NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops abruptly announced his retirement, a stunning offseason move by the 56-year-old future Hall of Famer who led the Sooners to 10 conference championships and a national title in 18 seasons.

Stoops was the longest-tenured active coach in major college football, taking the job at Oklahoma a day before Kirk Ferentz started at Iowa. Stoops was 190-48 (.798) at Oklahoma — his only college head-coach-

ing job — giving him more victories than Sooners coaching greats Barry Switzer (157) and Bud Wilkinson (145).

“I understand there has been some speculation about my health,” Stoops Stoops said in a statement issued two hours before a campus news conference.

“My health was not the deciding

factor in this decision and I’ve had no incidents that would prevent me from coaching. I feel the timing is perfect to hand over the reins.”

Offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley, 33, is being promoted to head coach, making him the youngest head coach in FBS. Just last month, Oklahoma gave Riley a three-year contract extension worth $1.3 million per year, making him one of the highest-paid coordinators in the country.
