Tick season in full swing Tips to avoid tick bites

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News Following a mild winter, the tick population in Iowa has been on the rise and poses a threat to you and your furry friends. A local veterinarian reminds families to protect them-

Commission of Veterans Affairs discusses cemetery conditions

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News Last month, the Jasper County Commission of Veterans Affairs discussed the conditions at Newton Union Cemetery’s veterans section. The cemetery was a topic of discussion again at Wednesday afternoon’s meeting.

The Newton Daily News published an editorial before Memorial Day calling for the city to make cemetery maintenance a priority. A couple weeks later, there was a Memorial Day ceremony at Newton Union.

According to Jasper County Veterans Affairs Commissioner Jerry Nelson, the U.S. flag and P.O.W. flag at the cemetery were in such bad shape the morning of the ceremony, that a private person’s flag had to be used for the service.

“With the article in the newspaper going out prior to Memorial Day, we kind of expected that to be squared away and it was not,” Nelson said. “We put

up temporary flags for the ceremony.”

Weeks later, the city did eventually put new flags up at the cemetery. Jasper County Veterans Affairs Director Kurt Jackson said the city promised to take steps to prevent a similar situation from happening again.

Flags were also relevant in a different context at Wednesday’s meeting.

When a veteran passes away in Jasper County, the county veterans affairs office provides the family with a case to hold a folded American flag at the funeral.

The Commission of Veterans Affairs moved a step closer to also providing a protective cardboard box with each folded flag.

Using most of the $1,000 allocated to the commission by the county each year, commissioners voted to purchase manufacturing dies to produce the cardboard boxes. After this initial cost, each box is expected to cost $4-5.

According Jackson, the veterans affairs office provides about

90 to 100 flag cases each year.

The box dies are a long-term investment.

In addition to protecting the flag cases, Jackson said, families can use the boxes to mail cased flags to other loved ones.

Commissioner Susan Springer voted against the measure, saying it was a lot of money for cardboard.

Nelson was initially hesitant to the idea, but he voted in favor after the group agreed to his proposal to have the case vendor purchase the boxes. That way, Nelson said, the veterans affairs office won’t have to repeatedly go back and appropriate more money for boxes.

In other business, the Jasper County Veterans Affairs provided nearly $1,900 in assistance to veterans during the month of May. Veterans affairs helped pay for food, shelter, doctor’s bills and utility bills.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Newton Fire Department is getting a new heating and cooling system, replacing units that are in poor condition.

The Newton Fire Department will be getting an upgraded heating and air conditioning system soon. City council approved two new roof top HVAC units for the fire station at 410 S. Second Ave. W. following the current units’ experience with mechanical failures last winter.

“The units experienced a mechanical failure and it was noted that the units were in very poor condition,” city administrator Matt Muckler said. “According to the maintenance contractor, ‘When these

units fail the next time, the only fix will be replacement.’”

Project specifications and a request for bids were prepared by the public works department for the project with four quotes received from area companies.

Bids were received by Brookwood, Inc. of Newton, Brooker Corp. of Newton, Dickerson Mechanical of Colfax and Warnick and Reeves Mechanical of Newton.

Warnick and Reeves Mechanical was awarded the project with the low bid of $9,858 or $4,929 per unit. Funds

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Thursday, June 15, the 166th day of 2017. There are 199 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 15, 1775, the Second Continental Congress voted unanimously to appoint George Washington head of the Continental Army.

On this date: In 1836, Arkansas became the 25th state.

In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an act making the National Guard part of the U.S. Army in the event of war or national emergency.

In 1944, American forces began their successful invasion of Saipan (sy-PAN’) during World War II. B-29 Superfortresses carried out their first raids on Japan.

In 1955, the United States and Britain signed a cooperation agreement concerning atomic information for “mutual defence purposes.”

In 1967, the war film “The Dirty Dozen” was released by MGM. In 1977, Spain held its first free elections in four decades; the Union of the Democratic Center won the highest number of seats in the Congress of Deputies.

In 1985, the Shiite Muslim hijackers of a TWA Boeing 727 beat and shot one of their hostages, U.S. Navy diver Robert Stethem (STEE’-them), 23, throwing him out of the plane to die on the tarmac at Beirut airport.

In 1992, during a visit to an elementary school in Trenton, New Jersey, Vice President Dan Quayle, relying on a faulty flash card, erroneously instructed sixth-grader William Figueroa to write “potato” as “potatoe” on a blackboard during a spelling quiz.

Ten years ago: During his ethics trial, a tearful Mike Nifong announced he would resign as district attorney of Durham County, North Carolina, after admitting that he’d made improper statements about three Duke University lacrosse players who were once charged with raping a stripper.

(The players were later declared innocent by state prosecutors.)

Five years ago: President Barack Obama eased enforcement of immigration laws as he announced a new policy, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. Republican Mitt Romney launched the next phase of his presidential campaign, kicking off a six-state, small-town bus tour and telling middle-class Americans that President Obama hadn’t given them “a fair shot.” An armored car heist at the University of Alberta in Canada left three armed guards dead; fellow guard Travis Baumgartner later pleaded guilty to murder charges and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 40 years.

One year ago: The interim police chief in Oakland, Calif., Ben Fairow, was abruptly removed after six days on the job

by Mayor Libby Schaaf, who said she had lost confidence in Fairow’s ability to lead the department amid a widening sex scandal in which a number of officers allegedly had sex with a teenage prostitute.

That’s Odd ‘Kinky Boots’ cake wins Best in Show at competition NEW YORK (AP) — For baker Ashley Holt, nothing about this design competition was a piece of cake.

Holt, the owner of a Brooklyn cake studio, won Best in Show at the annual New York Cake Show on Sunday with a life-size replica of a bright red, high-heeled, over-the-knee boot, complete with gelatin sequins.

The entry, a nod to the Broadway musical “Kinky Boots,” in keeping with the competition’s Broadway theme, took Holt about four months of on-andoff work to make. While the decorations are edible, there’s no cake underneath; it’s meant to be looked at, not eaten.

Entertainment Mayweather coming back to fight UFC star McGregor LAS VEGAS (AP) — Floyd Mayweather Jr. will come out of retirement to meet UFC star Conor McGregor in an Aug. 26 boxing match that will feature two of the top-selling fighters in the world.

The two fighters both announced the fight Wednesday, after months of speculation about whether Mayweather would return at the age of 40 to face a mixed martial arts fighter who has never had a pro boxing fight.

Oddsmakers immediately made Mayweather a big 11-1 favorite in a fight that will take place in a boxing ring and be governed by boxing rules.

It will take place at 154 pounds.

“It’s official,” Mayweather said on Instagram next to a video poster of both fighters.

“THE FIGHT IS ON,” McGregor tweeted several minutes earlier, posting a picture of himself next to one of Mayweather’s father, Floyd Sr. Mayweather, who retired in September 2015 after winning all 49 of

Local & State News Ticks Continued from Page 1A Deer ticks are blacklegged and are particularly important to recognize because they can carry the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. The adult tick is not highly noticeable — the legs and body are uniformly dark brown or black and unfed adults are slightly smaller than a sesame seed.

Deer tick nymphs are even smaller, and these immature parasites are the primary transmit-

ters of Lyme disease because they’re harder to detect, the Iowa Department of Public Health states.

Most ticks prefer to live in dense vegetation like forests with leaf litter or prairies with tall grasses.

The health department offers these tips for avoiding tick bites: • Avoid wooded and brushy areas with high grass and leaf litter • Walk in the center of trails • Check your belongings thoroughly to avoid bringing them home.

• Wear long socks you can tuck your pants into or elastic-ankle sweatpants to keep ticks from finding their way underneath your clothes.

• Use repellent that contains 20 percent or more DEET, picaridin, or IR3535 on exposed skin. Always follow product instructions.

Parents should apply this product to their children, avoiding hands, eyes and mouth.

• Use products that contain permethrin on clothing.

• If you discover a

tick on your body, remove it right away.

Carefully grasp the tick by using tweezers to grip the tick by its mouth parts, which are close to the skin. Do not squeeze the tick’s body. Pull steadily directly away from your skin. Because removing the tick’s body is your main goal, don’t worry if its mouth parts break off in the process. Clean the wound and disinfect the site of the bite.

Continued from Page 1A remaining in the City Center Fund will be used to pay for the project.

Work is expected to be completed by July 31.

The station currently houses three ambulances, four fire engines, a hazardous materials truck, ladder truck and utility vehicle along with 22 career firefighters and emergency medical technicians, nine part-time staff, four volunteer and paid on-call staff and two civilian staff.

Submitted Photo Congressman Dave Loebsack welcomed students from Lynnville-Sully Schools to the Nation’s Capital. The students spent time in Washington visiting various memorials and museums. Loebsack spoke with the students on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.

“I always enjoy the opportunity to welcome students to the Capitol,” he said.

“Washington is rich with history and full of educational opportunities for children and adults alike. It is my hope that this trip helps spur the students to take an interest in public service.”

District Continued from Page 1A incompatible and to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the community,” city administrator Matt Muckler said. “Zoning is also used to encourage the most appropriate and efficient use of land and to protect property values. Zoning provides citizens with a reasonable expectation as to what their neighbors may or may not do on their property.”

City council approved two readings of the new ordinance before it was determined the new language did not align with the Iowa DeMuckler partment of Transportation dealers licensing requirements. Specifically, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that no auto repair, maintenance, auto-body work could be performed on site. That did not align with the State of Iowa’s requirement that all dealers have a repair or maintenance bay on site.

The commission revisited the ordinance change and honed the language further to comply with state regulations but still maintain separation within the district. It recommended only to allow low-intensity type work at the facility and included these specifications: Minor auto service work may be conducted on site as part of the auto-sales business only during regular business hours and shall be limited to: oil, filter and fluid changes, tire rotations and tire changes and cleaning and detailing provided cleaning materials, liquids and the like are properly disposed of.

The commission also noted all exterior display of products will be limited to vehicles only. Tires, fluids and the like must be stored within a structure on the property.

Oh my soul C

ountry music power couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill brought their Soul 2 Soul Tour to Iowa on Saturday and proved why they are still leaders in the country music scene.

I have been a fan of both Tim and Faith since I first heard “Wild One” and “Don’t Take the Girl” in my youth. My twin sister, Trish, and I would belt out all of the lyrics to the songs at home, in the car or wherever we felt like singing.

Now in my concert going days, there are a few “must see” artists for me if they happen to come to Iowa. Tim and Faith were at the top of that list. Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines was jam packed to see the couple who have been married for 20 years.

They took the stage together, singing a cover of Aretha Franklin and George Michael’s “I Knew You Were Waiting For Me.” It was an energetic way to kick off the performance. The two traded off

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers singing a few of their solo hits, with the other providing background vocals to songs like “Felt Good on My Lips” and “Lucky One.” They also sang some of their older duets as well as their new one “Telluride.”

Then Tim left the stage, and Faith took over the performance. She surprised me with how much dancing she did. She also played with the audience, stopping at one point in awe of one lady who was belting out her lyrics right with her. It reminds you that even though performers on stage can seem distant at times; they can still see people in the crowd.

Faith showed off her powerful vocals on classic hits and a few of her new singles. When she played “Wild One,” it brought back major nostalgia as Trish and I stood together singing with her live

instead of on a recording. It was a moment I’ll not soon forget.

After her anthem cover of Janis Joplin’s “Piece of My Heart,” Tim returned to the stage to sing several of his well known hits and a few new ones. While he didn’t sing, “Don’t Take the Girl,” I enjoyed hearing “Shotgun Rider” and “Humble and Kind” back-to-back. Those two are by far my favorites of his new songs.

Faith rejoined Tim on stage to sing their new hit “Speak to a Girl” followed by the first duet they recorded together, “It’s Your Love.”

This was special for two reasons. The first was because of the presentation.

During the song, the video board was lit up with photos from their years together.

There were shots of each of their previous concerts and performances both together and separate. There were photos of them posing together throughout the years.

There were also pictures of the couple’s three daughters. The audience got to see the girls grow up throughout the song. It was a tender, touching moment.

The second reason was a personal

one because of my own Tim. “It’s Your Love” is the song to which my fiancé and I will dance our first dance as a married couple. I leaned a little closer to him during the song as I took in the lyrics, the sounds and the photos, imagining our own life together. It was a big, cheesy moment, but I didn’t care.

Both Tim and Faith sang another song separately, each coming out into the audience as they sang. We weren’t close enough to see Faith, but Tim came down the stairs right by our floor seats. It was great to see him so close.

The encore of “I Need You” was a beautiful cap to the evening. It was just the two of them on stage, seated facing each other and sharing a microphone.

The stage was lifted so the entire audience could see just how much they are still in love and love singing with each other.

The concert was just as wonderful as I hoped it would be. Thank you to both of them for such a great show.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Coyotes In typical fashion, I had passed out early in my recliner. Ginnie woke me up to drag me off too bed.

It was really late, going on 10 o’clock! I stumbled into bed. No sooner had my head hit the pillow, than I heard children outside our bedroom window.

It sounded like they were playing games, shouting and laughing and having fun.

Ginnie startled awake, “What’s that?” she asked.

Coyotes! I shot out of bed, stumbled into my slippers, grabbed a flashlight and headed out to check on the baby chicks.

It was a dark night. I stumbled over a drain hose on the downspout before I turned on the flashlight.

The beam cut through the darkness like a hot knife through butter. I aimed the beam toward the chicken house. I could see nothing awry — no shadowy, four legged creatures up to deviltry.

As I got closer, I shined the flashlight beam along the foundation of the chicken house. Everything looked normal. I could see the glow of the chicks’ heat lamp through the side window. It had a look of warmth and security. I stood on my tiptoes to look inside, the bill of my cap bumping the glass.

I was hoping I wouldn’t see a scene of carnage and mayhem. Nope. The little chickies (not so little anymore) were all bunched up under their heat lamp, cozy as peas in a pod.

Relieved, I headed back to the house. The shed we use for a chicken house is old and rotting in places. I had patched up the holes in the floor as best I could. If coyotes really wanted to get in, I’m sure they could chew their way through. Looking up at the night sky, the Big Dipper seemed to pour bounty upon our little Empty Nest farm.

I fell back into bed. Ginnie asked if the chickies were okay. I assured her they were.

At 1:15 a.m., I sat upright up in bed. I was dreaming about the chicks. Once again, I made the trip out to the chicken house. The cool night air on my bare legs let me know that I should have pulled on sweatpants.

Standing on my tiptoes again — still no problem, the chickies were not even aware that I was spying on them.

Wide awake now, I stayed up for the rest of the night, which is nothing unusual for me. I’m an early riser, with the wee hours of the morning my favorite time for reading and writing. God time.

At breakfast, Ginnie asked, “Did you really get up at 1:15?”

My early mornings are the reason for my early evenings.

As Ginnie was leaving for work at 5:30 a.m., I checked on the chicks again. A-okay.

Memorial Day was fast approaching and the sale ads were hard to ignore. After a Memorial Day service, Ginnie and I hopped in our beater truck and headed for Burlington, two farmers going to town. A chest freezer was what we had in mind, for the vegetables our garden would produce and, of course, home-grown chicken. Ginnie doesn’t think she can look at our “babies” in the skillet. I told her that she’s gonna have to toughen up if she wants to be a farm wife. Ha! Ha! The freezers really were on sale. I couldn’t believe the savings. We headed home with a 16 cubic-foot chest freezer in the back of our truck, feeling like we were hauling home a prize.

It wasn’t until the next day that I cautiously asked Ginnie, “That freezer is frost free, ain’t it?” Refrigeration units have been frost free for so long, we hadn’t even thought of checking it out.

She looked at me, and I knew the answer. “The booklet has directions for defrosting,” she admitted.

Aaarrgh! Life on the Empty Nest Farm.

YOUR VIEW

The truth about Iowa Puppy Mills It is no secret that Iowa is one of the worst states in the nation when it comes to the number of puppy mills we have, as well as the sheer number of breeders with violations.

Iowa currently has more than 250 puppy mills and exports more than 100,000 puppies across state lines annually. These puppies go to brokers (people who make a living buying puppies and selling them at a higher price) or the puppies go straight to pet stores. Since 2013, Iowa has had 49 breeders on the HSUS Horrible Hundred puppy mill list. Every single year, we have some of the worst breeders in the

entire country.

Recent articles released by BailingOutBenji.com have linked Iowa puppy mills to pet stores all over the country, including Nebraska, Colorado, New York and even Florida. These puppies are being shipped for several hours — even days — in the backs of semis and cramped vans only to be sold to the unsuspecting public. Sadly, many of these dogs are coming from some of those very same Horrible Hundred Puppy Mills. All the while, the public is told that the puppies are coming from licensed, reputable breeders.

We owe it to the dogs to do better.

When making the decision to add a pet to your family, choose wisely. Adoption is always a great

first option, and there are many loving pets at your local rescue or shelter waiting for a family to call their own. If you choose to buy your next pet, make sure you ask questions and don’t buy the puppy without seeing the parents. Everyone in the market for a puppy should know the term puppy mill and how to avoid one. To learn more, visit BailingOutBenji.com or Bailing Out Benji on Facebook.

So ... How much is that doggy in the window? Too much. The cost falls on the suffering of the parent dogs back at the puppy mill. And that inhumane life is too high of a price.

Mad about the climate? Don’t cheer up!

On June 1, President Trump announced that he’ll withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. If that makes you mad, good. If that makes you outraged and disgusted, even better.

We have good reason. Even for a president whose administration has quickly earned a reputation for reckless and morally bankrupt policies, this appalling decision stands out, and the reaction both here and abroad has been withering.

For the rest of the planet, the message is clear: Donald Trump has zero interest in being the “leader of the free world,” much less in international cooperation to solve global problems. In the dark and self-destructive world view of Steve Bannon and Donald Trump, the U.S. has no allies — only competitors. We don’t win unless other nations lose.

For those of us who do care about our planet’s future, what happened on June 1 should be

Another View Michael Brune a movement-defining moment.

“Hold tight to your anger and don’t fall to your fears” is how Bruce Springsteen put it in his song “Wrecking Ball.” Trump’s action is unforgivable, but it should only make us more determined to protect our future.

The most important thing to remember is that although Trump can try to slow climate progress in the U.S., he’s powerless to stop it.

It’s true that the anti-environmental ambitions of his administration have exceeded almost everyone’s worst expectations.

Equally extraordinary, though, is the administration’s astounding refusal to accept reality — and I don’t just mean the reality of climate change. I mean the reality of 21st century America.

Every day, more U.S. cities, states, and corporations are committing to reducing carbon emissions and adopting clean, renewable energy.

Just before Trump’s announcement, three additional coal plants came offline, including the two biggest ones remaining in New Jersey. The next day, more retirements were announced in Missouri, along with a massive investment in new locally sourced wind power. This announcement was followed by the largest purchase of electric school buses in history, in Southern California.

Want more?

More than 200 mayors have adopted the Paris agreement since Trump’s announcement. And just hours after Trump claimed he represents “Pittsburgh, not Paris” in his address on withdrawing from the Paris deal, Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto announced his support for a goal of powering Pittsburgh entirely with clean and renewable energy by 2035.

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.

Sweethearts struggling with a 30-year age gap DEAR ABBY: I’m in my late 20s and have a male companion who is 30plus years older than I am. We were together for a while, then stopped so we could both try to find someone closer to our ages. Neither of us did, and we recently started seeing each other again.

Although we are good for each other and compatible in many ways, we are realistic that our relationship isn’t longterm for major reasons. (I want children; he’s happy with grandchildren.

He wants to travel after retirement; I’m just starting my career.) We live for the moment and don’t dwell too much on the future.

My problem is, this time I’m really falling in love with him. Last time, I was reluctant to become emotional because I was afraid of getting hurt. But this time, I am all in. Can any good come of this? We meet each other’s relationship needs in the here and now, but is the end just heartbreak? — LOVING FOR THE MOMENT DEAR LOVING: It’s time for you to start compiling a list of the pros and cons of this romance. You and this man are at different stages of life and have very different goals. If you really want to have a family and a career, you will have to sacrifice something for it, and that “something” may be devoting much more time to this man. Sorry, but something’s gotta give.

DEAR ABBY: Recently, my husband and I were walking down the sidewalk in our neighborhood and came across $160 in cash strewn all over the ground. We picked it up, and as we were doing so, our neighbor came outside. We knew her husband had just gotten home, and the money was near his car, so we asked if it might be his.

We handed her the cash and told her to let us know.

Two weeks have gone by and no one has claimed it. Our neighbor still has it in her possession, and has mentioned in passing that we should spend it on toys for our kids or food/drinks at the next get-together.

While I think these are OK ideas, I’m a little bitter because my husband and I found the money, and I feel we should be the ones who get to keep it if no one comes forward to claim it. I don’t want to damage the friendship we have with our neighbors, but I feel like we’re losing a bit. What do you think? — FINDERS KEEPERS DEAR FINDERS KEEPERS: I think that before handing over the money, you should have had your neighbor ask her husband if he had lost any and how much. Because you didn’t do that and they have the cash, perhaps you should “remind” her that “per her suggestion,” you would LOVE to spend some of it on toys for your kids, and ask for some or all of it back. If she’s a good neighbor, she’ll agree. If not, you will have learned an expensive lesson.

DEAR ABBY: I have a good friend I always invite to attend parties and events. She invariably RSVPs accepting the invitation, but never shows up or explains her absence. This has been going on for years and it hurts my feelings. Do I have to keep inviting her?

— COLORADO HOSTESS DEAR HOSTESS: Allow me to offer you some insight: The woman’s behavior is extremely rude. “Good friends” do not treat each other this way. If you’re asking my permission to scratch her off your guest list, you have it.

1 Teen accused of shooting BB

gun at sister pleads not guilty

SIOUX CITY — A teenager accused of using a BB gun to shoot his 3-year-old sister has pleaded not guilty in Sioux City.

Court records say the written plea was entered Tuesday to charges of willful injury and child endangerment. A trial hasn’t been scheduled yet. The Associated Press generally does not name juveniles charged with crimes. The boy is 17. Doctors say one BB was removed during surgery, but the other BB entered near one of the girl’s eyes and lodged next to her brain. Doctors say it was too risky to remove, so it’s been left in place.

Lake Delhi water returns to level it was before dam broke ​DELHI — Officials say the water in Lake Delhi has returned to the level it was before the dam broke in July 2010.

The refilling began nearly a year ago.

The lake on the Maquoketa River emptied when heavy rains caused the previous dam to fail. Property owners formed a taxing district shortly after the storms, and voters approved a $6 million bond measure for the new dam and restoration.

Law professor named to lead Iowa Human Services Department DES MOINES (AP) — The governor has appointed a law professor with experience in child protection and family law to lead the troubled Iowa Human Services Department.

Gov. Kim Reynolds said in a news release Wednesday that 64-yearold Jerry Foxhoven will begin work Thursday as the department director. He replaces Charles Palmer, who announced his retirement last month.

The department has been scrutinized for months over its handling of child abuse cases, particularly cases involving the deaths of two teen-

age girls.

The department also has b e e n criticized for privatizing the state’s Medicaid Foxhoven health care program for the poor and disabled.

Foxhoven has been an administrator for the Iowa Child Advocacy Board and director of the Joan & Lyle Middleton Center for Children’s Rights. He’s been a Drake University Law School professor since 2006.

Southeastern Community College students to pay more WEST BURLINGTON (AP) — Students attending Southeastern Community College next year will pay more to do so.

The college’s board of trustees voted Monday to raise tuition and fees in lieu of cutting programs or faculty to deal with state budget cuts.

Students will pay $6 more per credit hour, bringing the cost to $176 per credit hour for resident students and $181

for nonresident students.

Tuition for international students will be $209.

Students also must pay a $4-per-credit-hour technology fee, which will rise to $5 in 2019.

Board Chairman Jeff Heland says SCC still is comparable in price to similarly-sized community colleges. The average tuition and fee rate for Iowa community colleges was $171.31 in 2017 and $164.13 in 2016.

Car crashes into cemetery that sits in city roundabout WEST DES MOINES (AP) — Authorities have been searching for the driver of a car that crashed into a family burial site that sits in the middle of a West Des Moines roundabout.

Police were dispatched to Huston Cemetery around 3:30 a.m.

Saturday. The driver had abandoned the car, which had damaged the fence, landscaping and some headstones before coming to rest.

Huston Cemetery is named for James B. Huston, patriarch of one of the first families to settle in Dallas County.

Court: Iowa State University wrong to block pot T-shirt

By David Pitt The Associated Press DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa State University lost another appeal in a federal court case over the decision of administrators to prevent a marijuana advocacy group from printing a T-shirt that included the university logo and a marijuana leaf.

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday for the second time said ISU administrators including former President Steven Leath violated First Amendment rights of two students who were top officers of the ISU chapter of the National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws.

The ruling also find the four administrators including former Senior Vice President Warren Madden, former Senior Vice President for Student Affairs Tom Hill and Leesha Zimmerman, director of ISU’s trademark office can be held personally responsible for violating the students’ constitutional rights, setting up the potential for the students to seek monetary damages.

Iowa taxpayers would be responsible for paying, since state law indemnifies state employees sued in federal court for action pertaining to their jobs.

The students, Paul Gerlich and Erin Furleigh, planned in 2012 to print T-shirts “NORML ISU” on the front with the university’ mascot, Cy the Cardinal. On the back the shirt read, “Freedom is NORML at ISU” with a small cannabis leaf above NORML. The university initially approved the group’s design but later blocked it claiming it violated the school’s trademark policy after getting pressure from conservative lawmakers and an appointee of then-Republican Gov. Terry Branstad.

The students sued in July 2014 and in early 2016 U.S. District Judge James Gritzner ruled the administrators violated the students’ free speech rights and barred the university from prohibiting printing the T-shirt.

“What we find with many universities is they’re violating students’ free speech rights and there’s little accountability. A decision like this helps to build accountability into the law where they have to make sure they’re not violating students’ rights rather than just being able to rely upon on the courts later.”

— Casey Mattox, attorney

The administrators appealed.

The appeals court in February agreed with Gritzner, concluding that the administrators’ unusual trademark approval process for the NORML group was motivated in part by political pressure and confirmed that universities cannot discriminate against students or their advocacy organizations based on political views.

The court ruling also denied the administrators’ contention that they had qualified immunity, a legal protection available to public officials who are found to have made reasonable decisions and who do not knowingly violate the law.

The university administrators asked the appeals court to rehear the case and in an unusual move the three-judge appeals panel that decided the case unanimously chose to rehear it. On Tuesday they reaffirmed their earlier decision, however, this time on a 2-1 vote with two Democratic presidential appointees concluding since the university officials took action that violated the former students’ First Amendment rights they’re not protected by qualified immunity.

James Loken, a George W. Bush appointee, disagreed and wrote in a dissenting opinion the case is different enough from others that there is no precedent for holding school officials personally responsible for the actions specified in this

case.

The attorney for the students, Robert Corn-Revere, said Wednesday they plan to “pursue all available remedies.” They include seeking compensatory damages and attorney fees once the appeals process is exhausted.

The case, even though it centers on the pro-marijuana legalization group, drew support from several conservative organizations including anti-abortion and campus free speech groups. Their attorney, Casey Mattox, said the finding of personal responsibility is important part of Tuesday’s decision.

“What we find with many universities is they’re violating students’ free speech rights and there’s little accountability. A decision like this helps to build accountability into the law where they have to make sure they’re not violating students’ rights rather than just being able to rely upon on the courts later,” Mattox said.

Of the four administrators only Zimmerman remains at the university. Leath left last month to head Auburn University. Madden and Hill retired last year.

The university could appeal the decision by seeking further review in the 8th Circuit or by asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review it.

“Iowa State has received the order, and we’re evaluating next steps,” said spokeswoman Annette Hacker.

Newton softball falls to 5A No. 9 Indians

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s softball team got on the scoreboard against visiting Class 5A ninth-ranked Indianola on Wednesday night.

The Cardinals couldn’t catch the Indians, losing 4-1 in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

The loss dropped the Cardinals to 6-4 in conference action and 11-8 overall. They play a LHC doubleheader at 6 p.m. Thursday at Dallas Center-Grimes.

Indianola (18-3, 8-3) took a 2-0 lead on a two-run home run

by Emma Yeager in the second inning. It came with two gone in the frame.

The Indians scored a run in the third so did the Cardinals.

With two gone, Audrey Lucas singled and scored on a double

by Kennedy Leiker.

Indianola added a run in the sixth.

Lucas had two singles in the game. The other hit was a single

by Karley Leiker.

Peyton Maher was the losing pitcher for Newton. She allowed eight hits, walked two, hit one batter and struck out three.

Iowa Speedway lands sweet deal with M&M’s

NCWTS M&M’s 200 is June 23 Newton Daily News

Class 4A Indianola hands Cardinals a LHC loss

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Ryan Barr dives back into first base during a home game. The Cardinals came up short at home against Class 4A Indianola, 6-0, in Little Hawkeye Conference play on Wednesday at Woodland Park.

Small schools forced to adjust to pitch count rules Before the season, Prairie City-Monroe baseball coach Jeff Lindsay thought the new pitch count rules would force smaller schools to stop playing weekend tournaments.

There just isn’t enough arms to go around after a week of conference and non-conference games during the week.

“We have already been told by East Marshall that they are not going to be holding their tournament anymore,” Lindsay said.

Midway through the season, Lindsay still has that opinion. And he is joined by a few other area coaches.

If you look around the state at scores from games played on Satur-

This & That Troy Hyde days, you’ll find several high-scoring games.

CMB, which has just 13 players on its roster and no JV team this season, had to use two pitchers Saturday against Colo-NESCO who have not yet pitched this season.

CMB was in front 8-1 after four innings but those two inexperienced varsity pitchers allowed 21 runs in two innings and the Raiders lost 22-12.

“The pitch count rules will really depend on numbers each year,” CMB coach Max Seeman said.

“If the 20 kids who told me in the spring that they would play this summer, it would be easier. If you have enough players out, it can be done.”

Colfax-Mingo is on the fortunate end of the numbers game.

The Tigerhawks have 25 players out this summer, and Colfax-Mingo coach Greer Milledge is more focused on winning a conference title than he

Newton High’s Cardinals are hitting the ball — right at the defensive players. The Cardinals baseball team hit the ball in Wednesday’s home game against Class 4A eighth-ranked Indianola, but only had three hits to show for it.

“The guys hit the ball hard.

We’re just not finding the gaps and getting the ball to fall in for base hits,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said after the Cardinals lost 6-0 at Eversman Field. “The guys competed really well against a very good Indianola team tonight.”

The Cardinals held the Indians to single runs in the second, third and fourth innings. They trailed Indianola 3-0 going into the seventh inning. Indianola (16-4) plated three runs in the top of the inning.

“They hit a couple of ropes right down the line in left and one in right. We come up in the bottom of the seventh and had hard hit balls right where they are,” Brisel said. “We had runners on several times in the game. We just couldn’t get that one hit to fall for us.”

is on playing weekend games.

Colfax-Mingo actually put most of its non-conference games at the end of the season, too.

“I would be OK with playing a solo game on a Saturday, but tournament style games are probably going to go away for most of the small schools around the state,” Milledge said.

Milledge said he will discuss with Colfax-Mingo Athletic Director Zach Tomas after the season whether they want to continue with their annual tournament.

If Milledge has any say, the school will no longer hold the event on the first Saturday in June anymore.

The new pitch count rules are designed to limit arm injuries on young players. It will help them possibly play the game longer, too.

I don’t think all athletes are created equal though.

“The new rules are definitely safer for the kids,” said Seeman, who is leaving the CMB program after this year to become the new athletic director at Martensdale-St. Marys.

“It makes me approach the pitchers in a different way, but the rules for

Iowa Speedway announced Wednesday the title sponsor for the June 23 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race will be Mars Chocolate North America, makers of the iconic M&M’s Brand.

While M & M’s has had a presence in NAS C A R for years, this marks the first time the brand has sponsored a race at The Fastest Short Track on the Planet.

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series M&M’s 200 presented by Casey’s General Store will run at 7:30 p.m. on June 23 on FS1.

The M&M’s 200 will be the first race of Wide Opening Weekend which pairs the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series for the second consecutive year.

“We’re excited to welcome our new partner, Mars Chocolate, to Iowa Speedway, and are proud to promote M&M’s with one of our longstanding partners, Casey’s General Store,” Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small said.

“This partnership is a wonderful example of the unrivaled promotional power and versatility of NASCAR and Iowa Speedway.”

Having been involved in the sport for almost three decades as a team sponsor, M&M’s is already a seasoned partner throughout NASCAR. The brand has been a sponsor of Joe Gibbs Racing and Kyle Busch, a two-time Iowa Speedway race winner, since 2008.

In 2000, Mars stepped up its sponsorship to become the “Official Chocolate of NASCAR” and has since built a significant presence at the track.

“We are happy to partner with Casey’s General Store, NASCAR, and Iowa Speedway,” William Clements, VP Sponsorships, Mars Chocolate North America said, “M&M’s makes race day more fun, so fans should expect a sweet at-track experience during Iowa Speedway’s wide open weekend.” lower pitch numbers needs to be adjusted.

Right now, a player who throws 25 or less pitches does not need to take a day of rest.

If that pitcher throws 25-40, they need a day rest and the rest days go up as you throw into the 41-110 area.

“I have noticed that teams are using more pitchers in each game now so they can use those same pitchers in more games that week,” Lindsay said.

The Mustangs have more depth than other programs, too.

The only time they ran into issues with the pitch count rules came in Saturday’s tournament at East Marshall.

They lost to the host Mustangs, 13-11.

“We did have two different tournaments that day and did not have any JV guys with us,” Lindsay said. “I think programs will look at the number of games they play in the week leading up to weekend tournaments to see if they want to stop playing in those games. I am lukewarm on them right now. It does put some coaches in a tough spot.”

Long road trip ends in sweep for Colfax-Mingo at Keota

SPORTS CALENDAR

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News KEOTA — The Colfax-Mingo baseball and softball teams traveled 184 miles for South Iowa Cedar League games against Keota on Wednesday and both Tigerhawk squads came home with victories over the Eagles.

The Tigerhawk baseball team stayed on top of the conference standings with a 2-1 win, while the defending SICL softball champions stayed in the hunt for another title with a 13-0, three-inning triumph.

On the baseball diamond, junior Jonathan Jacobs went the distance to improve to 3-0 on the season. Jacobs needed 80 pitches to get through seven innings as he allowed no earned runs on three hits with five strikeouts and one walk.

At the plate, the Tigerhawks won the game despite getting only four hits. Senior Jimmy Camp had one hit, scored one run and stole one base and Jacobs singled, scored a run, had an RBI and drew a walk.

Sophomore Zarek Hill and junior Jarod Nichols had the other two hits. Hill is now batting a team-best .475. Junior Misha Seebeck had one walk and one RBI, and freshman Brady Berkey drew a walk.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo senior Amy Russell hit her sixth home run of the season during the Class 1A No. 11 Tigerhawks’ 13-0 win over Keota on Wednesday night. The six homers ranks tied for second in Class 1A.

Class 1A No. 11 Colfax-Mingo got a tworun home run from senior Amy Russell in the first to help put the Tigerhawks up 4-0.

Astrograph

Some suggest roadblocks and closed doors are protecting you from places that were not meant for you. It depends on where you’re trying to go and what you believe about the words “meant for you.” Is someone else really in charge of that? Shouldn’t you have a say in it? These are the questions to address as the sun opposes Saturn.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 15). Augmented powers of observation will help you to better sense what people want and grow in your capacity to deliver. It’s good to be in demand, and when this has to do with business, you’ll be paid handsomely. Lucky

meetings happen in August and November. Money comes from out of the blue in July. Aries and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 22, 27 and 50.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’re seeking inspiration, and you’ll find it both in those you want to be like and in those you don’t want to be like. Stand where you can see and hear the people you find interesting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

It’s the perfect moment to do a mental scan of your current skillset to remind yourself of what you’re good at and what you’d like to get good at. (If

you don’t know what you’re good at, you’ll miss the chance to sell it!)

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

There’s no reason to bargain with boredom. Instead, take this emotion as a flag that signals it is time to shake things up, put things back, write things down or all of the above.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Everyday life is rich. You sense this and appreciate it.

Someone else will help you in this regard, enjoying the details and the particular way you attend to them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Do the most important thing first.

Once that’s out of the way, you can relax. The relaxed you is more effective, because an

easygoing mindset helps you resist getting caught up in the extraneous parts that ultimately won’t matter.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Although it would be wonderful to find a perfect showcase for your work, the fact is that there probably isn’t one yet.

You’ll have to make one, or one will be made to accommodate the work, once you do it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’re attracted to a type of person who may or may not be good for you. This is a day of noticing -- of observing yourself and how you change or don’t around the people you spend your life with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The relationship requirements are not rules, more

like patterns. You set up the expectation early on and keep delivering in one way or another. Now you don’t like what’s being required of you, and today is about changing it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t have to be lost to wonder how you’re going to find your way to the next place. If you’re not too proud to ask for directions, you’ll get there faster. Sidle up to an expert and you’ll learn more than you asked for.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Anger is not (SET ITAL) like(END ITAL) a drug; it (SET ITAL)is(END ITAL) a drug. It alters a person’s chemistry more effectively than a lot of other substances. Keep this in mind while dealing with people who seem to lean on

this emotion. Maybe it’s not about you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). “No comment” is always an option. No one (other than your own brain) is commanding you to speak. By not weighing in with an opinion, you’ll leave your options open.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You don’t expect people to be what they are not. Everyone is quirky. You realize this and act accordingly. People love you for that. You’ll be the most nonjudgmental person on your block.
