‘It is pretty much just pure fun’

School board approves NHS parking lot project

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News Newton High School will have a re-surfaced south parking lot, following the Newton Community School District Board’s approval at Monday night’s regular meeting.

Bishop Engineering put together the plans for the new parking lot and opened it for bids on June 8. The school board approved the sole bid for the project, which came from Manatts, Inc. for $482,260.

The construction project, which is part of the district’s 10-year plan, will also include replacing the concrete around the high school’s greenhouse.

The original estimated cost for the project was as high as $550,000. Construction is scheduled to start later this month.

Also on Monday, the board approved special inspection services for the new Berg Middle School construction. The low bid came from Braun Intertec Corp. for about $95,000. Braun Intertec beat two competing bids by more than $30,000.

The inspection services are used to test soil, concrete, structure and more during the construction process. The Berg construction will be the first time Braun Intertec has worked in central Iowa, said Superintendent Bob Callaghan.

OLFAX — Whether it be for the prize money or to preserve the long-standing cowboy traditions, there is no doubt it takes a special kind of person to participate in a rodeo.

For observers and riders alike, there is no greater thrill than a person giving it their all in an attempt to tame a bucking, four-legged beast in the center of a crowded arena. And what better way to kick off the Jasper County Fair.

“I think bull riding is everyone’s favorite. There is a lot of excitement.

There is a lot of risk. There is a lot of danger. I think everybody likes to watch that,” Jasper County Fair Round Up

File Photo About 1,800 people attended last year’s Jasper County Fair Round Up. Organizers hope to draw a larger crowd this year.

Committee member, Alan Guy said. “Who doesn’t like to go to the rodeo and enjoy the evening with friends and family.”

The cowboys, cowgirls and their hoofed companions return to the fairgrounds Saturday for the third annual Jasper County Fair Round Up. With the fair starting July 14, organizers hope to use the event to round up the community and get them excited for the up-

Downtown Micro-Grant Program continues for city

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Downtown Micro-Grant Program will receive a fresh set of funds for future renovation work. City council approved $100,000 to replenish the program, which was nearing the end of its initial $100,000 allocation.

“If you walk in the downtown area and you see the progress that has been made, the eyes on the city are there, that is what people see. I am a strong supporter of this program,” councilwoman Lin Chapé said.

The micro-grant program was established in 2016 as a way

to encourage downtown owners to reinvest in their property and businesses in accordance with the Downtown Historic District Design Guidelines.

The initial $100,000 to fund the program was set aside from the dollar bonded in 2015.

Prior to the approval, $96,150 of the grant funds had been awarded.

To go along with the awarded funds, $156,754 of private investment has been put into downtown project, exceeding the 1:1 match required by the program.

Additional application requests have been received by the city for future projects that the Downtown Grant Review

Board have not yet reviewed or approved. The requests total about $10,000. Also, additional property owners are working on plans that could qualify for the program.

“In a short time that we have been utilizing this program and we have almost depleted the $100,000 that we had originally funded towards that program along with almost $157,000 of personal investment money has been put into that. It has by far exceeded what the city has done and our requirement at the time was a 1:1 match,” councilwoman Miranda Kulis said. “I look when I am walking GRANTS | 3A

ROUND UP | 3A

City to extend sanitary sewer system ​By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The city, working with the Jasper County Health Department, is extending N e w t o n’s sanitary sewer system. A public hearing was held and city council approved s e v e r a l properties on East 12th Muckler Street North and North 15th Avenue East to join the city’s sewer system.

“Staff has had discussions with the Jasper County Health Department about

these properties being connected to the city’s sanitary sewer system due to failing or inadequate septic systems,” city administrator Matt Muckler said.

Currently, the sanitary sewer system does not extend far enough to reach the property in the 1200 through 1400 blocks of East 12th Street North and the 1200 block of North 15th Avenue East and they on private septic systems. To get the properties in the system, the Newton Public Works Department prepared plans and specifications for the expansion. The project includes 908 LF of 8-inch sanitary sewer main,

Central Iowa Today Today in History

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Tuesday, June 13, the 164th day of 2017. There are 201 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On June 13, 1942, a four-man Nazi sabotage team arrived on Long Island, New York, during World War II, three days before a second four-man team landed in Florida. (All eight were arrested after two members of the first group decided to defect and cooperate with U.S. authorities; they were ultimately spared while the other six were executed.) President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Office of Strategic Services, a wartime intelligence agency, and the Office of War Information, headed by radio news commentator Elmer Davis.

On this date: In 1917, during World War I, a group of German Gotha bombers attacked London, killing 162 people.

In 1927, aviation hero Charles Lindbergh was honored with a ticker-tape parade in New York City.

In 1957, the Mayflower II, a replica of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to America in 1620, arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, after a nearly two-month journey from England.

In 1966, the Supreme Court ruled in Miranda v. Arizona that criminal suspects had to be informed of their constitutional right to consult with an attorney and to remain silent.

In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson nominated Solicitor-General Thurgood Marshall to become the first black justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 1977, James Earl Ray, the convicted assassin of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., was recaptured following his escape three days earlier from a Tennessee prison.

In 1992, Democratic presidential candidate Bill Clinton stirred controversy during an appearance before the Rainbow Coalition by criticizing rap singer Sister Souljah for making remarks that he said were “filled with hatred” toward whites.

In 1997, a jury voted unanimously to give Timothy McVeigh the death penalty for the Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168 people. The Chicago Bulls captured their fifth professional basketball championship in seven years with a 90-86 victory over the Utah Jazz in Game 6.

Ten years ago: In Beirut, Lebanon, a powerful car bombing killed Walid Eido, a prominent anti-Syrian legislator. Insurgents blew up the two minarets of a revered Shiite shrine in Samarra, Iraq, a year after the shrine’s golden dome was destroyed in a bombing.

Five years ago: Federal prosecutors dropped all charges against former Democratic vice-presidential candidate John Edwards after his corruption trial ended the previous month in a deadlocked jury.

One year ago: A day after the Orlando, Fla., nightclub shooting rampage that claimed 49 victims, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton offered drastically different proposals for stemming the threat of terrorism and gun violence; Trump focused heavily on the nation’s immigration system (even though the shooter was U.S. born) and redoubled his call for temporarily banning Muslims from the United States, while Clinton said she would prioritize stopping “lone wolf ” attackers as president and reiterated her call for banning assault weapons.

That’s Odd Driver flees crash with hydrant stuck to car PARSIPPANY, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey authorities say a driver fled the scene of an accident with a fire hydrant stuck to his car and then tossed it in the trash.

Parsippany police say the motorist drove off after his car struck the hydrant and a mailbox Tuesday. Police followed a trail of water from the scene to a township home, where they found the car and the hydrant. The driver was found in a nearby diner.

Police say 27-year-old township resident Domingo Moreno has been charged with criminal mischief, hindering apprehension and tampering with evidence, and was turned over to federal immigration officials. It wasn’t known Saturday if he’s retained an attorney.

Entertainment Theater refuses to buckle after ‘Caesar’ Trump criticism NEW YORK (AP) — The Public Theater is refusing to back down after backlash over its production of “Julius Caesar” that portrays a Donald Trumplike dictator in a business suit with a long tie who gets knifed to death onstage.

Delta Air Lines and Bank of America have pulled their sponsorship of the Public’s version of the play, but in a statement Monday the theater said it stands behind the production. It noted its staging has “provoked heated discussion” but “such discussion is exactly the goal of our civically-engaged theater; this discourse is the basis of a healthy democracy.”

Other defenders included Scott M. Stringer, the New York City comptroller, who wrote letters to the heads of Delta and Bank of America, arguing that dropping their support “sends the wrong message.” He writes: “Art matters. The First Amend-

AP Photo Delta Air Lines is pulling its sponsorship of New York’s Public Theater for portraying Julius Caesar as the Donald Trump look-alike in a business suit who gets knifed to death on stage, according to its statement Sunday.

ment matters. Expression matters.” He enclosed copies of the play with the letters.

“I hope you enjoy it — it is a classic, in any age,” he wrote.

Before Monday night’s performance, the play’s director, Oskar Eustis, delivered a statement, which he urged audience members to record on their cellphones.

“Neither Shakespeare nor The Public Theater could possibly advocate

violence as a solution to political problems and certainly not assassination,” he said.

This modern-day Caesar’s violent death at the hands of conspirators comes not long after comedian Kathy Griffin was widely condemned for posing for a photograph in which she gripped a bloodied rendering of Trump’s head.

Though the Public’s version of William Shakespeare’s classic play

is unchanged from its 400-year-old original, the production portrays Caesar with a gold bathtub and a pouty Slavic wife.

Trump’s name is never mentioned, but backlash was swift.

On Sunday, Donald Trump Jr. retweeted a Fox News story about the play and wrote, “I wonder how much of this ‘art’ is funded by taxpayers? Serious question, when does ‘art’ become political speech & does that change things?”

Delta responded by saying “artistic and creative direction crossed the line on the standards of good taste.”

Bank of America said the Public chose to present the play “to provoke and offend” without the bank’s knowledge: “Had this intention been made known to us, we would have decided not to sponsor it.”

“Julius Caesar” ends its run Sunday. The comedy “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” begins in the park on July 11.

Local & State News Continued from Page 1A Rough stock events, including bull riding, saddle bronc riding, bareback bronc riding and barrel racing, will highlight this year’s rodeo festivities. According to the event organizers, they decided to continue this style of rodeo with hopes of carrying over the high energy, excitement and success of last year’s round up.

“Rough stock style is what people want to see,” Guy said.

“We created a good buzz around the rodeo community.

Everybody was really thrilled with this start-up rodeo that could’ve been really small, but I think we far surpassed ex-

pectations.”

With an average of 20 contestants from as far as Oklahoma in each event, the organizers said this year’s competition guarantees high energy entertainment and endless fun for families.

In between the events, rodeo clowns, like Seth Rice, of Kansas, and local drill team the Red Rock Riders will show off their skills from heart-stopping motorcycle tricks to choreographed performances on horseback.

“Each event is split with a performance, whether it be the drill team or the clown.

That really creates great flow,” Alan said. “You watch contestants then veer back to ‘Oh that is cool. We didn’t think we would see something like

that,’ then back to the contest.”

New to this year’s festivities, live music will cap off the Jasper County Fair Round Up and Rodeo. That evening, Ames rockin’ country band, Doug Cochran and the Pavement Pounders, will perform original songs and covers of hit tracks from Travis Tritt, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Eli Young Band, Cross Canadian Ragweed and Luke Bryan.

“After the rodeo (last year), we had a lot of people who hung around. We thought, ‘Let’s give them a little more to do. Let’s give them a reason to stick around for a while,’” Jasper County Fair volunteer and event organizer Rhonda Guy said. “We do have alcohol sales during that particu-

NCSD is straying out of its comfort zone with a new company, Callaghan said, but Braun Intertec had great references and a great bid.

“They work extensively with the University of Iowa,” Callaghan said. “They worked with the Minnesota Twins when they built the Metrodome.”

In other business, the board accepted a bid from Environmental Property Solutions for $53,200 to remove asbestos from Berg Middle School. The naturally occurring mineral, which was used often in the past because of its versatility, is now a known toxin.

According to Maintenance Supervisor Jack Suttek, the floor glue in the building tested at 1-2 percent asbestos. Phase one of the asbestos abatement project is set to be completed by the end of July.

Rather than pay to put new carpet in a building that will soon be demolished, the district is planning on having some of Berg stick with plain concrete floors until students and staff get moved over to the new building.

The board also discussed drafting a policy for dealing with pastdue food service accounts. The federal government is mandating all school boards develop a formal policy. Some families in the Newton district have debts of more than $500 for school meals, said Food Services Supervisor Cristy Croson.

Croson said some other districts stop providing students with meals after a certain negative balance is reached. School board members agreed unanimously that under no circumstance should a child be denied food.

Board member Donna Cook was blunt when she said, “We feed kids here.”

around downtown and the things I hear about how nice it is coming around and all of the different improvements, I feel that the money is a good investment in our community.”

Along with the approval of additional funds, two grants were approved for projects at 111 W. Second St. N. and 302 First Ave. W. totaling more than $9,700.

Juli Stanford and David Bral, who own the building housing Bridgehouse Coffee, have a multi-faceted project, some part of which did not align with the Downtown Design Guidelines. The board decided on a partial approval and, along with Newton Main Street Director Graham Sullivan, are working on a revised plan to meet the design guidelines.

The board did approve a historic façade renovation, a window project, a rear alley door, a new sign and a new awning for $8,163.

The building is considered a contributing resource to the Newton Downtown Historic District. It retains a generally high degree of integrity relating to façade alterations made during the modernization movement that occurred in the downtown district between the 1950s and 1964.

The second building,

Nine bids were received for the project, which was estimated by the engineer to cost approximately $155,650. Bids from companies as far as Dysart in northeast Iowa and Blair, Neb. were submitted ranging from $209,166 to the low bid of $145,715 from S&F Underground of Grinnell.

The low bid was approved by council and the project will be paid for using money from the Water Pollution Control Fund.

My girls are growing up W

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

e are going to have a visitor at our house in the near future.

One with the initials TF. At a recent dentist visit, my oldest daughter discovered that she has two loose teeth. She has been more than ready to lose a tooth after seeing many of her friends lose them throughout the year.

Since feeling them wiggle, getting one to come out has been a priority. I can see her tongue moving them back and forth, loosening them up in hopes

that one will come out soon.

I’m not sure when a tooth might come out or how it is going to happen, but I hope that I am there. While the idea of losing a tooth is exciting, I’m not sure what she is going to think when it comes time to pull it out.

Currently, she is happy wiggling them but won’t let us touch them to see how close they are. I only hope it is happiness and smiles when one does finally come out and not tears or fear.

She is excited to have the Tooth

Fairy come to our house. As a kid, my parents had me put my teeth in a glass of water on a downstairs windowsill.

The Tooth Fairy would then take the tooth and replace it was random coins.

As the day gets closer to when I have to put on my own fairy wings, I’m trying to decide which route I will take.

She is a pretty hard sleeper so under the pillow is definitely an option. I’m also thinking of carrying on the tradition my parents and grandparents did.

I guess I should talk with my husband to see if he has any input, too.

My oldest also has another new first, one that came just after she turned six.

Like most kids, my girls have always taken baths. Bubbles, tons of toys and giggles along with me straining

to shampoo and condition two mops of hair have been a part of my life for more than six years.

In a decision made all on her own, my oldest stated she now wants to take showers because they are refreshing. The giggles were still there as she enjoyed the “rain,” and I still had to shampoo and condition her hair, but she is certainly taking her first steps to growing up.

I know more of these growing up firsts are coming my way and will double when my youngest starts in, too. It is exciting to see them grow up but I am going to keep enjoying them being little as long as possible.

What happened to ‘that’s too bad’?

I could have counted the seconds, and I wouldn’t have had to count too high, either.

Counted until what?

Until some brutal-minded, frustrated gunslinger told me things would have gone better in London if everyone owned a gun. Do me a favor, check with Chicago, where nearly everyone does own a gun, and tell me if that’s working out on the South Side.

It isn’t really guns I’m writing about today. I’m writing about the disappearance of “Oh, that’s too bad!” which is what my grandmother used to say when someone had trouble, even if the trouble was self-inflicted.

Now, of course, there is no disaster that isn’t immediately examined for the tiniest scrap of political or ideological leverage.

A manufacturing plant closes in your town?

You don’t say, “Oh, that’s too bad.” You say, “Insane union demands killed that business,” or “Bill Clinton killed that business,” or “Trump couldn’t save it, but Hillary would have killed it faster.”

My grandmother, who used to pick up coal along the railroad tracks when she was a little girl, used to hear of a drunk driving accident and feel bad for the dead person AND the drunk driver.

“Oh, that’s too bad,” she’d say. “He’ll have to live with that forever.”

She used to pick up coal because her family couldn’t afford to buy the coal they needed to heat their home. She told me that, if the guy shoveling coal saw kids along the tracks hunting for coal, if he was what she called, “a good man,” he’d throw a couple shovelfuls of coal off the train.

I guess the guy shoveling coal should have said, “The parents of those kids need to take some responsibility for their actions, and not have kids they can’t support.”

But if you’re a good man, and there’s a 7-year-old girl picking up coal along the track, and the boss can’t see, you fling a shovelful of coal over the side, and maybe you think, “Oh, that’s too bad.”

The old Soviet Union used to frequently make their state-owned newspapers print admiring stories about kids who turned their parents in for talking against the government. When you read that kind of story, you weren’t supposed to say, “Oh, that’s too bad.” If you did, your own kids would rat you out.

We don’t have a totalitarian government in the United States, but we are slowly draining the humanity out of our veins and replacing it with the colder fluid of ideology.

That’s too bad.

Donald Trump is the guy who hears your house burned down and tells you you’re an idiot for not having fire insurance. He doesn’t consider that maybe you couldn’t afford fire insurance. If you get robbed on the street, shot and killed, Trump tells your widow that you should have been carrying a gun. If your widow is young, pretty and not overweight, he tries to get her into bed.

It isn’t just Trump, either. His value, if he has any, is mainly symbolic.

He is the unrestrained spirit of, “You deserved it,” and I grew up in the land of, “Oh, that’s too bad.”

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Trump TV, coming to a market near you Donald Trump’s favorite local TV chain is about to get a lot bigger thanks to — wait for it — Donald Trump.

Trump’s Federal Communications Commission is paving the way for Sinclair Broadcast Group — already the nation’s largest TV conglomerate — to take over Tribune, which owns 42 stations in many of the country’s big cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, and Denver.

You may not have heard of Sinclair. But if you watch your local news, there’s a good chance you’re already watching a Sinclair-owned station.

Sinclair already owns 173 stations, which are local affiliates in different cities for national networks like ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC. If this merger goes through, Sinclair will own a whopping 215 stations.

No company has ever had that degree of control over local TV news, which is still the top news source for a majority of Americans.

This deal would have been unthinkable in any other administration. But Trump’s FCC is actually rewriting the rules to make it happen — and to give one of the administration’s loudest media boosters an even bigger megaphone.

Sinclair is no ordinary company: It’s notorious for slipping right-wing views and Republican talking points into its newscasts. It overrides the objections of local journalists and requires its stations to run conservative commentaries and slanted stories every day.

In March, for example, Sinclair ordered its local stations to air a Trump-friendly commentary that accused the national media of publishing “fake news.”

This behavior is nothing new for Sinclair: This is the same company that aired the distorted Swift Boat movie that helped sink John Kerry during the 2004 presidential election. Sinclair also refused to fire commentator Armstrong Williams after the FCC fined the

Another View Craig Aaron company in 2007 for airing government propaganda and failing to disclose his conflicts of interest.

Instead, Sinclair put Williams in charge of one of its front companies.

And Sinclair went all out for Trump in 2016. Jared Kushner, the president’s adviser and sonin-law, has bragged about a special deal he struck with Sinclair to get Trump uninterrupted favorable coverage. The company has been hiring Trump-campaign spokespeople as analysts ever since.

Now Sinclair’s getting its payback.

If this deal goes through, the company’s cookie-cutter, Trump-boosting content could reach more than 70 percent of the U.S. population. But to pull off its takeover of Tribune, Sinclair needs the FCC to change the rules, So that’s exactly what FCC Chairman Ajit Pai is doing: As

one of his first acts, he changed how the agency calculates station reach so Sinclair could dodge the ownership limits. In fact, the FCC is now pretending that Sinclair would reach just 44 percent of the national audience — even though the company is already boasting to investors that it will actually reach a much greater share.

Sinclair would still need to sell off a couple of stations to get under the national cap. So company lobbyists are pushing to get rid of any limits whatsoever.

The FCC’s ownership rules were designed to ensure a diversity of local voices and opinions — b ​ut women and people of color own very few TV stations.

Instead of creating ​policies t​hat​ promote​equity and opportunity, the Trump FCC would rather super-size Sinclair.

For years, Sinclair has been using every trick in the book to evade and undermine the rules.

Now the game has changed: Instead of appointing a referee to call corporate fouls, Trump gave the whistle to Chairman Pai, a full-throated cheerleader for runaway consolidation.

If you don’t like this rigged game, now is the time to make your voice heard.

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.

Early playtime leaves retired neighbor tossing and turning DEAR ABBY: We have owned our house for 31 years and raised our kids here. They are grown now and have moved out. Several families across the street have come and gone.

The most recent owners have two kids, one in kindergarten and another in first grade. Every morning before school, the mom lets her kids run wild, screaming, yelling, riding their bikes and scooters unsupervised in the street from 7:45 to 8:30 a.m. My husband is retired and hears this every morning.

He has a back injury and two hip replacements, so he doesn’t sleep well and isn’t an early riser.

Today he finally went over and asked her not to let them do this every morning. She, of course, became defensive and said she likes to let them play before school and thought 8 a.m. wasn’t unreasonable. Not only are the kids loud, but cars often race up the road and it’s dangerous. We were always out there watching our kids on this road, especially when they were that age.

Are we a couple of old fogies, or do you agree she is an irresponsible parent? — UPSET IN WASHINGTON DEAR UPSET: Playtime at 8 a.m. may not seem unreasonable, but it is to someone who has health and sleep problems. However, your neighbor has a right to let her children out to play before school. I wouldn’t call you a couple of old fogies, but I would point out that after people reach a certain age, their needs can change. Try earplugs or double-paned bedroom windows. But if that doesn’t help, it may be time to consider moving to a community for people over 55.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for five years.

He’s always been a jokester, which is OK, except for the way he does it. He knows what pushes my buttons, so his

jokes are geared toward that. At first, I ignore it, but when he persists, I get mad. Then he accuses me of overreacting and calls me unreasonable for getting mad because he’s “only joking.”

If a husband knows what pushes your buttons and makes you yell at him (which I never did before I met him), isn’t that playing with your emotions for his own entertainment? I’m not the only one he does this to. His daughter has been on the receiving end many times. He claims she’s being unreasonable, too. I have asked him to stop, but he doesn’t. It’s affecting our relationship. I almost feel like he’s gaslighting me. What say you, Abby? — PUSHING MY BUTTONS DEAR PUSHING: I say you are absolutely right. Your husband’s behavior is emotionally abusive, not funny. It would be interesting to know how years of that kind of treatment have affected his daughter. The effects of a parent’s ridicule can remain with a child into adulthood.

Because you haven’t been able to get through to him, perhaps you should enlist the assistance of a licensed marriage counselor. If he refuses to go with you, you should go by yourself. And if nothing changes, ask yourself if this is how you are prepared to spend the rest of your life.

1 Trump supporter charged with voting twice back in Iowa jail

DES MOINES — An Iowa woman charged with voting twice for Donald Trump last fall is back in jail after pleading guilty to yelling epithets at a neighbor.

Terri Rote of Des Moines pleaded guilty Monday to disorderly conduct, one day after she was arrested. A complaint says Rote repeatedly cursed at a neighbor in a dispute over their property line.

Rote is scheduled to stand trial next month for election misconduct after allegedly casting two ballots.

Iowa man dies after tractor overturns, pinning him SHELLSBURG — Authorities say a 79-year-old man died after being pinned by an overturned tractor in eastern Iowa.

The accident occurred around 2:40 p.m. Monday in rural Shellsburg. The Benton County Sheriff ’s Office says Arlo Becker was driving the tractor when it overturned while pulling a sprayer up a steep grade. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

DELHI — A former city clerk in eastern Iowa has pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing from a federal program receiving public funds. Federal prosecutors say 42-yearold Angela Billings entered the plea Friday after making a plea deal. She admitted to the theft of at least $93,000 from the city of Delhi between March 2007 and January 2015. Federal prosecutors say Billings stole from Delhi in 2011, when the city received more than $10,000 from a federal program.

She’s facing up to 10 years in a U.S. prison.

MONTROSE — Authorities say a deputy responding to a burglary call has shot a man in southeast Iowa.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation says the shooting occurred early Monday morning in rural Montrose. The division says Lee County deputies had been sent just after midnight to check on a report about a burglary in progress.

Authorities say 29-year-old Joshua V. Welborn, of Montrose, was shot by Lee County deputy Dakota Foley.

Man gets 20 years in girl’s Des Moines crash death DES MOINES — A 19-year-old man has been given 20 years in prison for the crash death of a 12-year-old girl in Des Moines.

Court records show Fernando Lopez Aguilar was sentenced Friday. He’d been convicted of reckless driving, involuntary manslaughter and related crimes. Investigators say Lopez Aguilar sped through a stop sign on Sept. 8 last year and hit a pickup truck, knocking it into the path of a sport utility vehicle.

Mastermind of lottery fraud will tell how he rigged jackpots MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A lottery computer programmer will tell investigators how he was able to use his position to rig state jackpots for years and he and his brother will repay $3 million in prizes they improperly claimed, under a plea agreement released Monday.

Prosecutors will seek a 25-year prison sentence for former MultiState Lottery Association security director Eddie Tipton, the mastermind of a scheme that rocked the lottery industry. His brother, former Texas judge Tommy Tipton, is expected to face 75 days in jail.

Wisconsin prosecutors released the agreement Monday after Eddie Tipton pleaded guilty to theft and computer crime charges in Madison. The plea was a surprise for Tipton, who had insisted on his inno-

cence for 2.5 years and was facing a trial in Iowa next month. The agreement calls for Tipton to soon plead guilty to ongoing criminal conduct in Iowa, and to confess to a civil judgment in Kansas.

“Mr. Tipton’s actions

defrauding the lottery were a gross violation of the public’s trust and confidence,” said Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel, praising investigators for “their efforts to find truth and seek justice.”

In his job at the Ur-

bandale, Iowa-based association, Tipton wrote and installed code for software that picked random numbers for games sold by its member lotteries. Investigators say Tipton designed his code so that on three days of the year, he

could predict winning numbers in some games.

The Tiptons and friend Robert Rhodes bought winning numbers for drawings in Colorado, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma between 2005 and 2011. Other associates were involved but haven’t faced charges.

The conspiracy unraveled after Tipton was caught on surveillance video buying a winning $16.5 million ticket in December 2010 in Iowa that he, Rhodes and others unsuccessfully tried to claim.

The Tiptons will tell investigators “all facts related, directly or indirectly, to their actions to fix, win, and claim lottery jackpots.” They won’t face any additional charges based on their testimony but will cooperate with any additional legal actions related to rigged jackpots.

“There’s a lot of value in confirming what we believe we know,” said Iowa prosecutor Rob Sand, adding that the brothers’ cooperation “is going to be helpful to lotteries around the country.”

Tipton and his attorneys declined comment.

They’ll be free to seek a lesser sentence than the 25-year term Iowa prosecutors will seek.

Tommy Tipton’s attorney, Mark Weinhardt, said his client was pleased to reach a “sensible resolution” in which he’ll serve 75 days after pleading to a misdemeanor.

“Tommy takes full responsibility for his role in this affair,” he said.

“This agreement will allow Tommy to continue to be the hard-working citizen and loving father to his children that he has been for many years.”

Construction begins Tractor festival expects more than 500 participants (AP) — More on 17-mile bike trail thanDYERSVILLE 500 people are expected for

COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — Construction has begun on a 17-mile long bike trail that will link three southeast Iowa communities.

Work began Saturday on the first segment of the Railroad Highway Multi-Use Trail. The trail is expected to link Council Bluffs, Underwood and Neola.

The nearly 2-mile long section is scheduled to be completed this year, said Brian Shea, chairman of the Pottawattamie County Trails Association.

“This will be the first of many trails across southwest Iowa, Iowa

and even other states,” he said. “We hope to get out to Underwood sometime next year and, shortly after, to Neola.”

The trail is meant to provide bicyclists a safe place away from traffic, said Underwood Deputy City Clerk Jan Ehrens.

The trail will also promote outdoor fitness and boost economic development by drawing people from big cities to smaller towns, said Underwood Mayor Denny Bardsley.

The four-day event is based in Dyersville this year and will feature daily countryside tours in Dubuque and Delaware counties through Wednesday. The event rotates through different parts of eastern Iowa each year.

This year’s route location has likely contributed to an increase in participation, said Jeanne Smith, one of the event’s organizers.

“We know the drivers like northeastern Iowa,” she said.

The route includes Earlville, Edgewood, Greeley, Petersburg, New Vienna and Bankston. This year’s schedule also includes Holy Cross, Hopkinton and Delhi.

participated in several Tractorcades. She and her husband, Carl, will travel on a 1956 Oliver Super 77 Diesel, which was once the main tractor on their family’s farm but is now saved for such events and parades.

“The small towns just open their arms up for you,” said Takes, who lives in Amber.

She noted the event is a good way to relieve stress.

“Nobody’s in a hurry. There’s no road rage,” she added. “This is more like Iowa in the 1950s. This is a front-porch kind of Iowa.”

The tractors will roll out in two groups, with the 10-mph tractors in front and the 14-mph tractors in the back.

Cattle producers invited to give input on industry issues at Second Annual BeefMeets Newton Daily News Iowa cattle producers have an opportunity to weigh in on beef industry topics of concern at this year’s regional BeefMeets in June.

In addition to several educational sessions, a full tradeshow and opportunities for networking, cattlemen will get a chance to share policy and industry issue concerns with ICA leaders.

BeefMeets will be held Tuesday in Dubuque, June 15 in Ottumwa, June 20 in Creston and June 22 in Le Mars.

The Iowa Cattlemen’s Association is a grassroots membership organization, with a dedica-

tion to “grow Iowa’s beef business through advocacy, leadership and education.” The organization, which includes nearly 10,000 members, uses feedback from cat-

tle producers and those involved in the industry to protect and enhance Iowa’s beef business.

Policy discussions at this year’s BeefMeets are expected to affect every sector of the industry, from cow/calf producers to feedlot operators.

Discussions will likely revolve around policies related to national animal identification and traceability, foreign trade, and regulation of transportation of cattle.

LHC soccer honors go to 10 Cardinals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Following seasons taking on some of the toughest competition in the state in their own conference, Newton High’s soccer teams each have five players receiving Little Hawkeye Conference honors. In the final polls for the regular season, the LHC had two boys’ teams ranked and four girls’ teams ranked.

Little Hawkeye Conference coaches selected the 2017 AllLHC soccer teams recently.

Those were released following the completion of the state boys’ and girls’ tournaments.

Senior Ryanne Rausch and junior Anna Forsyth were named to the 2017 All-Little Hawkeye Conference girls’ first team. Seniors Justin Fischer and Josh Ventling garnered boys’ first-team honors from the LHC coaches.

Newton seniors Taylor Shipley of the girls’ team and Jordan Norvell of the boy’s team earned LHC second-team honors. Receiving honorable mention for the NHS girls were seniors Courtney Jacobsen and Ashlee Freese and for the Newton boys were senior Reagan Maple and junior Dalton Pauley.

Newton girls, who were ranked No. 14 in Class 2A, finished in a tie for third place in the LHC with Class 1A No. 11 Pella Christian and Dallas Center-Grimes at 4-3. Class 2A top-ranked Pella went 7-0 in conference play and 2A No. 9 Norwalk was 6-1.

Newton (13-5) and Norwalk qualified for the Class 2A state girls’ soccer tournament.

Both lost in the first round last week. Newton knocked off Pella, 2-1, in a shootout for the regional championship.

Newton baseball hangs on for a win over Pella Christian

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — A win is a win. Newton High’s baseball team built an 11-0 lead over host Pella Christian in the second game of Monday’s Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader. They had lost the first game, 3-2, on an insidethe-park home run in the bottom of the ninth by the Eagles.

The Cardinals hung on as the Eagles charged almost all the way back, scoring 10 runs in the final three innings. New-

ton captured its third win of the season and second LHC win, 11-10.

“It hurts when you lose a game in nine innings.

Our guys did a great job of coming back and taking a lead, but we had trouble getting the final out,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said.

Newton committed five errors in the second game and four of those came in the seventh inning. The Cardinals held an 11-5 lead as the Eagles came to bat in the bottom of the seventh.

Newton starting pitcher Trevor Ergenbright gave way to Taylor Griener in the sixth. Greiner was on the mound in relief in the seventh and issued a walk to Pella Christian’s leadoff batter. He then got two outs.

The Eagles took advantage of four Newton errors, a single and a triple to plate five runs. With the tying and winning runs on base, Greiner got Cole Webster to foul out to Trey Vanderlaan at first base to end the threat and the game.

CMB overtakes HOIC lead with sweep of Nevada

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Iowa to put “Tigerhawk” at midfield in 2017 IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa will have a logo displayed at midfield in Kinnick Stadium next season for the first time in nearly four decades.

The Hawkeyes announced Monday that the new field it is putting in will have the “Tigerhawk” logo, the same one that adorns Iowa’s helmets, between the 45-yard lines.

Iowa has never had that logo, which it created in 1979, at midfield before. The Hawkeyes used a block “I’’ from 1972-80, but they’ve left midfield blank ever since.

The new surface is the first move in a major renovation to the stadium set to take place over the next few years.

“The passion for the Tigerhawk is amazing,” Iowa Director of Athletics Gary Barta said.

“Wherever you go in the state, across the country, or throughout the world, when you wear the logo on your shirt, a friendly ‘Go Hawks’ shout is inevitable.

“The current Kinnick Stadium renovation provided an opportunity to add the Tigerhawk to the field. It will provide another great touch to an already iconic stadium.”

The Raiders (14-4) led the Cubs 6-0 in the fourth inning when the game was suspended back on May 22.

CMB plated four runs in the fifth to end the game early.

Senior Abbey Kahler finished off her victory in the circle. She improved to 4-4 on the season after allowing one hit.

Kahler fanned 13 in the game and now has 69 strikeouts on the season.

Kahler, freshman Mikayla Houge and sophomore Han-

nah Caple all had two hits at the plate.

Freshman Holly Jessen had one hit and two steals, senior Megan Ritter had two runs and two steals and junior Jordynn Wesselink had three steals.

Ritter and Kahler both had three hits an RBI at the plate, and Ritter also stole three bases.

Houge, junior Katie Camp, Caple and freshman Abby Husak all had two hits.

Houge hit a solo home run.

It was her second homer of the season.

Miscues plague CMB baseball in loss to Nevada

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News NEVADA — Five errors plagued the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter baseball team Monday during a loss to Nevada during Heart of Iowa Conference play.

The Cubs plated 11 runs in the game but only three

runs were earned during Nevada’s 11-1 win over CMB. The Raiders had only four hits in the game.

Nevada cranked out 10 hits and left 11 runners on base.

Senior Brady Kemp doubled and had an RBI at the plate. Junior Travis

Lindemoen walked and scored a run and senior Brady Ross walked twice.

Kemp started on the mound and took the loss after surrendering eight runs — none earned — on eight hits with three strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings.

Freshman Cole Damman and junior Bryce Ba-

​ eGrom, Cabrera lead Mets D over Cubs for fourth straight win NEW YORK (AP) — Jacob deGrom gave up a quick double to the wall, Asdrubal Cabrera made an early and embarrassing error.

Then in a hurry, things turned around for them and the New York Mets.

DeGrom pitched a five-hitter, Cabrera lined two home runs and turned four double plays, and the Mets beat the Chicago Cubs 6-1 Monday night.

DeGrom (5-3) threw the Mets’ first complete game of the season, Jay Bruce also homered and New York won its fourth in a row.

Still under .500 but getting healthier, the Mets started a key two-week stretch where they face 14 straight games against teams that reached the NL playoffs last year.

The only damper on the win: Star outfielder Yoenis Cespedes exited because of a sore left heel, two days after he returned from a six-week stint on the disabled list.

Cespedes went 1-for-3 before being pulled. He had been out with a strained left hamstring, and also had been nagged by

trouble with his quadriceps.

But Cespedes said there was nothing to worry about this time. He said the heel has bothered him for years, and that he expected to play Tuesday night.

The Cubs dropped to 3132 with their ninth straight road loss — the World Series champions haven’t won away from Wrigley Field in a month during their worst road skid since 2012.

Addison Russell homered in Chicago’s fifth loss in six games overall. The defeat began a string in which the Cubs play 17 of 20 on the road.

DeGrom pitched the Mets to their seventh win in a row over the Cubs at Citi Field, dating to the 2015 NL Championship Series.

He neatly bounced back from getting hit hard in a pair of starts, walking four and striking out six.

John Lackey (4-7) fell to 0-4 in five starts.

He’s allowed nine homers in 28 innings over the span and has yielded 19 longballs this season, one behind Cincinnati’s Bronson Arroyo for most in the majors.

Cruz drives in four; Mariners cruise past Twins MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Having Mitch Haniger batting high in the lineup again ought to be a lift for the Seattle Mariners in this up-and-down season.

The names hardly mattered with the way they were hitting at Minnesota on Monday.

Nelson Cruz drove in four runs, Haniger had four hits, and the Mariners started a series against the Twins with a

football score for the second time in a week, a 14-3 victory fueled by 19 hits.

Danny Valencia and Mike Zunino hit back-to-back home runs in the eighth inning, the fifth such feat for the Mariners this season. Yovani Gallardo (3-6) sailed through six innings with the excess support, allowing three runs and seven hits.

Zunino and Carlos Ruiz

was the previous pair to hit consecutive homers for the Mariners, also against the Twins last week during a 6-5 comeback victory.

Brian Dozier had three hits and Joe Mauer drove in two runs, but the Twins lost their fifth straight home game.

Dozier was stranded after his leadoff double in the third inning, and Gallardo found a groove from there.

con each threw in relief and combined to allow three earned runs.

CMB (2-9 overall, 2-7 in the HOIC) plays Greene County at 5:15 p.m.

Wednesday in Jefferson.

Astrograph

Mercury is moody now, first harmonizing then causing strife. Mercury changes; the truth doesn’t. What’s true is true whether hundreds know it or none do, believed by millions or doubted by all. No action or reaction can alter it.

An interpretation of the truth is subjective. The truth itself is not subjective. What happened happened.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 13). You’ll invest your heart in projects and be intensely fulfilled this year. Set out with faith that the path before you will be cleared. The next three weeks you’ll brainstorm and keep clarifying your vision.

Return often to your creative

influences. August through October bring toil and sweat then a big cash-in. Libra and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 40, 4, 49 and 17.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

What someone said to you long ago is still part of your inner scenery, like words drifting on a lake of thought. Go on and ignore them a while longer.

Someday they will wash up on the far shore and never get in your way again.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Comfortable people are more honest and generous than defensive people. Your kindness, astute attention and warmth

will make people comfortable around you. You’ve much to gain.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Everyone seems to need you at once -- part of the deal when you’re the cosmic darling. Just remember that you have the choice of when and if to respond to people. Their urgency doesn’t have to be yours.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You want to share, but choose your audience carefully. Some stories are like hot meals that start to cool off as soon as the air touches them. Consider a diary first and then see how you feel when the private writing is done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You feel like a fountain, the water of emotion circling through

you, the same feeling being pumped up and falling from you. It’s the circulation that keeps this fresh. You’re willing to feel unimpeded -- an attractive feature.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You don’t make the weather outside, but you can go where it’s usually sunny this time of year. Similarly, you don’t make the weather inside, but you can escape to tropical vacation spots of imagination at will, so what’s stopping you?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You shouldn’t have to pay to have your senses enlivened: It’s a point of reference, a state of mind, and it’s free. You’ll go where the scents rhyme and the colors beat out a rhythm your eyes can’t help but dance to.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Your ambition will have you setting lofty goals you’re not likely to hit. However, you’ll get much further than if you hadn’t aimed so high. The key will be to interpret all success as significant and to maintain a joyful tone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). When you fall for someone, the ride down comes with a rush and a hope that you’ll be caught or land on something soft. When you believed you’ve been tripped -well, that’s a far less enjoyable trajectory.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A strong sense of style isn’t really a matter of good taste or bad taste; rather, it’s a specific set of mindful choices

and intentions repeated in an identifiable pattern.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you first made your decision, you weren’t sure.

Now you’re starting to love this choice. The best part about it is, the more you love it, the less you need other people to love it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

If you had to point it back to a single event that tweaked the relationship, you’d be stumped.

It was probably something minor, and it wasn’t your fault, either, but that doesn’t matter now. What matters is fixing it.

Hawk softball wins, baseball loses against Iowa Valley

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — With a win and a loss on Monday, Lynnville-Sully’s softball and baseball teams are each 7-2 in South Iowa Cedar League conference play.

The Hawk squads hosted Iowa Valley in Sully.

Lynnville-Sully’s Class 1A ninth-ranked softball team needed four innings to record a 13-1 win over Iowa Valley. A late rally by the Hawk baseball team fell short in an 8-5 loss

Honors Continued from Page 1B The Cardinal boys (12-7) ended up at 3-4 in conference play and were tied for fourth with Pella. Norwalk which was ranked No. 1 in Class 2A, was 7-0 and went on to win the Class 2A state title.

Grinnell was second at 6-1 and was ranked No. 11 in 2A. Dallas Center-Grimes was third at 5-2.

Rausch became the alltime career scorer for Newton girls’ soccer and reached the 100-plus career goal total this season. After leading the Cardinals, the conference and Class 2A in scoring the past two seasons, Rausch concluded her four-year career with 28 goals this season.

She was second in goal scoring in the LHC and tied for fourth in Class 2A. Rausch finished with 110 career goals and is among a handful of girl soccer players in Iowa to reach the 100-career goal mark. She led the Cardinals in scoring and was second in assists with six, which was ninth-best in the LHC. Rausch was the top vote getter as first-team forward by conference coaches. She has earned first-team LHC honors three years straight and was a second-team selection as a freshman.

Forsyth was named firstteam defender. Forsyth had three assists and four goals for Newton.

Shipley was named as a second-team mid-fielder.

Shipley led the team in assists with a seven which tied her for seventh in the category among LHC players. Shipley, who earned LHC honorable mention as a junior, scored five goals.

Jacobsen, who was a second-team selection as a junior, earned honorable mention honors as a defender for

to Iowa Valley.

Mallory Loftus threw a three-hitter for the Hawk girls. She had one strikeout.

Iowa Valley scored a run in the first inning then was held in check.

Lynnville-Sully’s softball team steadily built its lead with three runs in each of the first two innings, a four-run third and another three runs coming across home plate in the fourth frame. The Hawks used a 15-hit attack to deliver the win.

Brenna Lanser led the way with a double and a triple. She drove in four runs. Carson Fisk had a single and a double, swiped three of the team’s nine stolen bases and scored three runs.

Caitlin Alberts, Korinne Jansen and Kaleah Ehresman each had two singles. Alberts had two RBIs. Taylor Maadam and Janelle Rozendaal hit a double apiece. Hitting a single each were McKinley Conover, Loftus and Shiloh Cunningham.

Iowa Valley’s baseball team

Newton. Freese, who had true second best save percentage — .918 — in the conference and fifth-best in Class 2A — received honorable mention honors as goalkeeper.

Freese made 163 saves in 18 games, including the 1-0 loss in the state tournament to Lewis Central, which repeated as 2A champion. She allowed 14 goals and had eight shutouts in goal for the Cardinals.

Another Newton soccer player garnering Little Hawkeye Conference honors four years in a row is Ventling for the Cardinal boys.

He was voted to the firstteam as a mid-fielder for the second straight season. As a freshman and sophomore he earned second-team honors.

Fischer is a first-team forward honoree for the Cardinals. He led the team with 17 goals and nine assists. Fischer, who will play for Central College next year, was third-leading scorer for the LHC and tied for fifth in assists.

Ventling had 13 goals and eight assists for Newton, which was second for the team. He was the eighth on the Little Hawkeye Conference scoring list and tied for seventh on the assist list.

Norvell received conference honors three out of four years playing as a defender for Newton. He was a firstteam selection a year ago, but was a second-team LHC defender this season.

Maple and Pauley earned LHC honorable mention honors as Newton’s goalkeeper and a defender, respectively. Maple was fifth in saves with 103 among LHC goalies and had the fourthbest save percentage, .752.

He allowed 34 goals in 19 games and recorded six shutouts in goal.

Baseball Continued from Page 1B Newton had claimed control of the contest with a seven-run third inning to lead 8-1. The Cardinals added three more runs in the fourth.

The Cardinals pushed a run across in the second when Vanderlaan reached on an error and scored on a two-out double by Ben Leal. All of the scoring in the third for Newton started with two outs.

Tyler Stanton walked and Ergenbright tripled then Vanderlaan and Ryan Barr drew walks to load the bases. Ty Arguello delivered an RBI single. Leal reached on an error as two runs came home.

Logan Wolfe singled in a run followed by Blayden Rhone walking.

Brennen Dodd had an RBI base it.

With the bases loaded again, Stanton drew walk to force in a run.

“I talked to the guys before that inning and told them they just needed to relax. Hitting is contagious and not hitting is contagious. If you put the ball in play, good things happen,” Brisel said.

“They went up and took good swings. We got base hits and had good base running.”

It continued into the fourth inning. Vanderlaan led off with a

double, Barr reached on an error and Arguello drew base-on-balls.

Leal and Wolfe had back-to-back RBI groundouts. Rhone hit a base hit to drive in a run.

In the fifth inning, Pella Christian scored three runs on two home runs — a solo by Isac Vander Hart and a two-run shot by Will Dembski. It was Dembski’s inside-thepark home run with two gone in the ninth which won the first game for Pella Christian.

A Newton error in the sixth inning cost two more runs to make it 11-5.

“As I said hitting is contagious and Pella Christian started to hit the ball and put it in play late in the game. We’ll take the win,” Brisel said. “We have to learn to relax and continue to make plays defensively when we have a lead.”

Ergenbright was the winning pitcher for Newton, going 5 1/3 innings. He allowed five runs on nine hits and two walks. He struck out six. Greiner had the save in 1 2/3 innings of work, giving up five urns on three hits and one walk and he struck out one.

Vanderlaan had a single and a double for Newton. Ergenbright tuples and Leal doubled. Dodd, Arguello, Wolfe and Rhone each had a single.

In Monday’s opening game, New-

jumped out to an 8-1 lead by the end four innings. The Hawks added a run in the fifth and scored three times in the sixth, but that was all.

Josh Dunsbergen pitched four innings and took the loss.

He gave up eight runs on eight hits and four walks and he struck out three. Elijah Collins worked three scoreless innings, allowing two hits.

Rylan James went 3-for4 at the plate with two base hits and a double. Carson Dunsbergen, Corbin James

and Josh Dunsbergen each had two singles.

Elijah Collins, Tyler Van Zante and Bray Noun Harder had a single apiece.

The Hawk softball team is 11-4 overall and the baseball team is 8-4. They step out of SICL play Tuesday for home non-conference games with West Marshall. Both games start at 6 p.m. in Sully.

Vanderlaan started on the mound for Newton and went four innings. He gave up one run on five hits and three walks and struck out six. Stanton pitched 3 2/3 innings, allowing one run on two hits and had three strikeouts.

Leal took the pitching loss for the Cardinals. He threw one inning, giving up one run on one hit and one walk.

“Our pitchers were throwing strikes. They were in the zone and we got good relief innings in both games. We went into the game with a plan to help save arms because we have seven games this week. We did fine,” Brisel said.

Ergenbright was 3-for-4 at the plate with these singles. Stanton and Rhone each had a single.
