Roundup and Rodeo brings life to fairgrounds

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News COLFAX — Hundreds from throughout the county and beyond gathered at the Jasper County Fairgrounds Saturday afternoon and evening for the county fair’s third annual Roundup and Rodeo.

The main event was the rodeo presented by Duckworth Rodeo Company of Knoxville. The bleachers surrounding the horse arena at the fairgrounds were nearly full, as cowboys and cowgirls from across the country wowed a Jasper County audience.

Broncos bucked and riders tried to hang on. Horses kicked dirt into the first few rows of the crowd. The rodeo women competed in barrel racing, and fun little games were thrown in between.

The Roundup is in its third year and second straight year with the rodeo. The first year’s main event was a dance, which county fair volunteer and former board member Rhonda Guy said went so-so.

Newton Daily News With eight worthy contestants, judges at the Jasper County Fair Queen contest had their hands full Saturday evening.

When all was said and done, however, only one contestant could be named Queen. This year, the honor went to 17-year-old Jac-

lyn Michener of Newton.

Growing up, Michener said, she looked up to all the past Jasper County Fair Queens. Participating in the contest is a great opportunity to grow in communication and leadership, she said.

WHERE IT’S AT Astrograph......................5B Calendar..........................5A Classifieds......................4B

Two sections of roadway in Newton were approved for parking restrictions to make the area safer. On East 10th Street South and a connected section of South Eighth Avenue East and South Eighth Avenue West, parking will be restricted on one or both sides of the road following city council approval.

The city received safety concerns from citizens regarding the street parkMuckler ing in the 800 through 1300 blocks of East 10th Street South.

The concerns centered on vehicles being parked on both sides of the street, making the roadway too narrow for emergency vehicles to safely travel through. A heightened risk for pedestrian accidents is also a concern in the area.

The stretch of roadway under consideration is considered a minor collector street. It measures 25 feet wide, a width the Traffic Safety Committee deemed to narrow to safely accommodate parking on both sides.

Surveys describing the change in parking were sent to 44 adjacent property owners. Of the 22 that were returned, 18 were in favor of the changes and four opposed the restriction.

City council followed the committee’s recommendation and approved restricting parking on the west side of the street in the 800 through 1300 blocks of East 10th Street South.

The areas of the 100 and 200 blocks of South Eighth Avenue West and 100 and 200 blocks of South Eighth Avenue East had similar safety concerns for the roadway along with additional complaints unique to the area.

“These complaints are a result of vehicles being parked on both sides of street causing accidents and other safety issues,” city administrator Matt Muckler said. “A primary concern is the topography of the area coupled with the intersecting streets and driveways provides very little sight distance in avoiding vehicles entering from other roadways.”

South Eighth Avenue measures 35 foot and is one of the busiest roads in the city Muckler said. From 2012 to 2017, that section of roadway had 16 reported motor vehicle accidents. Three of those were personal injury accidents, three were hit and run accidents and 10 were property damage accidents. More than $75,000 were reported in property damage from those incidents.

The Traffic Safety Committee recommended restricting parking on both sides of the street in both areas.

Surveys on the recommendation were sent to 22 adjacent property owners with a total of six returned. Reviews were split 50/50 in favor and against the parking restrictions.

Council ultimately approved the restrictions in both areas.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Monday, June 19, the 170th day of 2017. There are 195 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On June 19, 1867, Maximilian I, emperor of Mexico since 1864, was executed by firing squad a month after being taken prisoner by the forces of President Benito Juarez. The inaugural running of the Belmont Stakes took place; the winner was a filly named Ruthless.

On this date: In 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War was over, and that all remaining slaves in Texas were free — an event celebrated to this day as “Juneteenth.”

In 1917, during World War I, King George V ordered the British royal family to dispense with German titles and surnames; the family took the name “Windsor.”

In 1953, Julius Rosenberg, 35, and his wife, Ethel, 37, convicted of conspiring to pass U.S. atomic secrets to the Soviet Union, were executed at Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York.

In 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was approved by the U.S. Senate, 73-27, after surviving a lengthy filibuster.

In 1977, Pope Paul VI proclaimed a 19th-century Philadelphia bishop, John Neumann, the first male U.S. saint.

In 1982, Vincent Chin, a Chinese-American auto engineer, was fatally beaten in Highland Park, Mich., by two auto workers who later received probation for manslaughter in state court, and won acquittals in federal court.

In 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Edwards v. Aguillard, struck down, 7-2, a Louisiana law requiring any public school teaching the theory of evolution to teach creationism as well.

Ten years ago: A truck bomb struck a Shiite mosque in central Baghdad, killing at least 87 people. President George W. Bush and visiting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert sided emphatically with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in his standoff with the militant group Hamas.

Five years ago: WikiLeaks chief Julian Assange took refuge at Ecuador’s Embassy in London, seeking to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he faced questioning about alleged sex crimes. (Sweden dropped its inquiry in May 2017, but Assange remains holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy to avoid arrest by British authorities for jumping bail.)

One year ago: LeBron James and his relentless Cavaliers pulled off an improbable NBA Finals comeback to give the city of Cleveland its first title since 1964 as they became the first team to rally from a 3-1 finals deficit by beating the defending champion Golden State Warriors 93-89.

Today’s Birthdays Pop singer Tommy DeVito (The Four Seasons) is 89. Actress Gena Rowlands is 87. Actress Phylicia Rashad is 69. Rock singer Ann Wilson (Heart) is 67. Musician Larry Dunn is 64.

Entertainment Cosby team triumphant, but sex crime retrial, lawsuits loom NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — In one of the more unusual scenes to play out at Bill Cosby’s sexual assault trial, the judge questioned Cosby under oath as jury deliberations wore on to be sure he knew the mistrial he sought could lead to a second trial.

Cosby, the actor and comedian known as “America’s Dad,” turns 80 next month facing just that ordeal. Legal experts believe prosecutors will reshape their case for Round Two, although it’s not yet clear why jurors couldn’t reach a verdict, or how close they came.

District Attorney Kevin Steele could ask the judge to let more of Cosby’s 60 accusers testify or disclose to jurors that accuser Andrea Constand is gay. That never came up in her seven hours of testimony. The defense

Local & State News Roundup Continued from Page 1A “Last year they decided to get the rodeo into it, and it took off,” Guy said.

“It went gangbusters. It’s a perfect theme for us.”

The idea for the Roundup came from the Iowa State Fair’s Corndog Kickoff, which is held about a month before the state fair. Jasper County was looking for a way to advertise the fair and get people on the fairgrounds,

Guy said.

“What we want to do tonight is capture the flavor of the fair and get people excited about the fact that starting July 14, we’re going to do it all again,” Guy said.

Before the rodeo got underway, the newly-crowned Jasper County Fair Queen and Princess were introduced to the audience and circled the horse arena. In the back of a pickup truck sponsored by Lauterbach Buick GMC and driven

Several past years’ Jasper County Fair Queens were in attendance, including the 2016 Queen, Emily Miller, and Princess Rachel Freland.

There weren’t many empty chairs in the 4-H building at the fairgrounds for the contests. Family and friends applauded all the participants, and a few tears were shed.

Iowa Workforce Development: Iowa adds 5,500 jobs in May DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained at 3.1 percent for the third straight month. The state’s jobless rate was 3.8 percent one year ago.

The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 4.3 percent in May. “After two months of losses, Iowa businesses showed some signs of optimism in May with 5,500 jobs added,” said Beth Townsend, Iowa Workforce Development Director.

“Hiring in trade, health care and manufacturing establishments helped keep the state growing.”

The number of unemployed Iowans increased to 52,900 in May. The current estimate is 11,200 lower than the year ago level of 64,100.

The total number of working Iowans decreased to

1,636,400 in May. This figure was 3,400 lower than April and 100 higher than one year ago.

Seasonally Adjusted Nonfarm Employment Iowa establishments expanded in May and added 5,500 jobs. This month’s gain was the first since February and more than offsets losses of 3,500 jobs over the last two months. Aside from government, job growth was evident in most segments of the Iowa economy in May and was led by private services.

Government shed 500 jobs due to larger than expected seasonal declines at the local level. Compared to last year, government trails last year’s mark by 2,000 jobs due to reduced staffing levels at the lo-

cal level.

Within private industries, trade and transportation added the most jobs this month (+2,400) due to hiring in both retail and wholesale trade.

Transportation and utilities shed jobs in May, but remains up 2,500 jobs versus one year ago. Manufacturing added 2,300 jobs this month to help ease some of the recent losses plaguing this sector. Job gains were nearly split between both durable and nondurable goods factories.

Some of the gain this month was due to a surge in hiring in food manufacturing (+800). Smaller gains this month included other services (+1,000), professional and business services (+900), and financial activities (+600).

Information services added

jobs for the first time since January and increased by 300 jobs in May. Alternatively, job losses were led by leisure and hospitality (-1,200) with declines almost entirely focused in accommodations and food services. Construction experienced another small drop this month (-200) and follows another larger decline in April. The only other loss this month was in education and health care services (-100) due to a reduction in private education services.

Annually, nonfarm employment recovered this month and is up 15,200 jobs versus last May. Trade and transportation has been adding jobs lately in sales and leads all sectors with 7,100 total jobs gained. Education and health care is up 5,100 jobs due en-

tirely to hiring in health care.

Professional and business services has advanced steadily (+4,000) due mostly to hiring in professional, scientific, and technical services. Despite a large gain this month, manufacturing continues to lead all sectors in jobs lost versus last May (-1,600). Durable goods factories have been responsible for all of the layoffs as nondurable goods factories have added jobs in food manufacturing and animal slaughtering and processing. Leisure and hospitality is down versus last year (-1,300) with losses being concentrated in accommodation and food services.

Construction also trails last year’s record highs due in part to the completion of a few large scale projects and is down (-1,100).

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | June 19, 2017

Curtain time Editor’s Note: This column originally appeared in the May 15, 2015. he nerves — that’s what I remember the most. The feeling of being backstage before stepping out in front of a live audience to perform the work you have spent the past few months perfecting.

Yet you know in the back of your mind there is no way it will go perfectly. Someone will say a line out of order or forget it completely. You might trip during a dance scene. Maybe a set piece will fall in the middle of a scene.

But that’s live theater.

Now granted, my high school plays and musicals were not ready for the Broadway scene. However, I am proud my small school put together two quality productions every school year.

I often mention the sports I was involved in while in my high school days, but I didn’t limit myself to athletics. I

T

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers loved the fine arts as well. I played clarinet in concert band, tenor saxophone in jazz band, sang soprano in choir, participated in both group and individual speech and, yes, acted in the fall plays and spring musicals. Being involved in so many things is one of the major advantages of going to a small school.

I loved the musicals the best. Don’t get me wrong, the plays were fun too, but there was something extra exciting about the song and dance component I really enjoyed.

I regret not trying out for a part my freshman year. But the choir director roped me in by asking me to pull curtain for the show. I knew all the songs to “Carousel” by heart when opening night came around. I knew sitting in my chair just off stage I was going to be involved

the next year.

I played Sister Margaretta in “The Sound of Music,” one of my favorite musicals of all time. I wore a full nun’s habit, which was interesting to say the least. My fellow nuns and I stayed in character until the end, blessing the audience before taking our bows.

I had never heard of “Once Upon a Mattress,” until my vocal teacher told us that was the musical we would be taking on my junior year. It’s the story of “The Princess and the Pea” with a comical twist. My sister and I split the role of the Minstrel. It’s actually a part written for a man, but it was easily adapted for a female, or in this case, two females. The costume was actually pretty cool, despite the tights. I sported a black and gold tunic with a matching cape. The gold trimmed hat, complete with a feather plume, really brought it all together. I had such a blast in that role.

Scoring the lead role my senior year was a proud day. The first time I saw “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,” I fell in love

with the part of Milly. It was an honor to take on the part for the Green Mountain-Garwin High School production.

I got to yell at rowdy customers, hit a guy with a ladle, meet and marry a man in one day, teach backwoodsmen how to court women and teach them how to polka. That last one was scary.

My stage husband, Sonny Cutler (who played Adam in , is still making music in Nashville with his band, Syndrome of Fire. I’m happy to say I shared the stage with him, and I’m so proud he’s following his dream that all started in the little town of Garwin.

So as I look back on those performances, and I remember the butterflies just before curtain time with fondness.

I also have never been able to duplicate the moment you step on stage and the spotlight hits you — the nerves translate into excitement and joy. Belting out show tunes in the car just doesn’t have the same rush.

Eye on America John Stossel

Fly better Wonder why your flight is late?

Why planes keep circling?

Why even after you’ve landed, you sometimes can’t deplane?

Bad weather plays a role, but flying is also nastier because American airports use 50-year-old technology.

This shouldn’t surprise us. Government bureaucracies are always slow. That’s as true on the tarmac as everywhere else.

It’s not Federal Aviation Administration workers’ fault. They’re just following the government rulebook that says you must not change something without getting permission first. You must not buy anything without going through cumbersome acquisitions regulations.

The FAA’s new NextGen system was designed to make the system more efficient by using satellites instead of ground-based radar. It would let planes fly closer to each other, speeding up everything. This technology has existed for two decades, but because of the bureaucracy, it’s still being rolled out.

“By the time the government gets the equipment, many times it’s no longer state-of-the-art,” complains Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.

Outside government, progress happens. Uber replaces taxis because Uber is better and safer. Waze is better than paper maps. My laptop, on which I write this, is better than my typewriter.

Outside government, people constantly invent better computers, phones, foods, music...

Within government, people follow the old rules.

So President Trump did the right thing when he said he wants to privatize air-traffic control.

“Our air traffic control system is stuck, painfully, in the past,” said the president. “Billions of tax dollars spent and the many years of delays, we’re still stuck with an ancient, broken, antiquated, horrible system that doesn’t work.”

Trump is right. “Antiquated, horrible” are common descriptions of government monopolies everywhere.

The usual crowd of statists condemned privatization. “Fees will go up, seat size will go down,” complained Sen. Chuck Schumer.

He reminds me of the senators who warned that natural gas prices would “skyrocket” if Ronald Reagan lifted price controls. The opposite happened — prices dropped. Deregulation brought private-sector competition. Competition made all of us better off. I wish Sen. Schumer understood that.

The private plane industry worries about paying higher landing fees. But that’d probably be fair. We small plane users freeload off commercial aviation.

Hundreds of passengers on a big jet sometimes wait for a Cessna to land. Everyone should pay user fees to cover costs we impose.

Some resisters of change claim skies will become “chaos” because rival air-traffic control services won’t talk to each other.

This is absurd. Privatization is not a risky libertarian experiment. Canada privatized 20 years ago.

There’s no “chaos.” There are fewer delays.

Sixty countries now have forms of user-fee-supported air-traffic control.

Some are developing ways for each plane to use computers keep track of its proximity to other planes and change flight plans to avoid getting too close.

“These countries already use advanced tracking and communications technology that our controllers can only dream about,” says the Reason Foundation’s Bob Poole.

Poole has researched transportation alternatives for decades. He says, “Upgraded air traffic control technology would mean shorter lines for planes waiting to take off, more direct routes between cities and fewer delays for planes waiting to land. That would result in shorter trip times, less fuel used and fewer emissions.”

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Honor Juneteenth by closing the racial wealth divide

On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas.

They carried some historic news: Slavery had finally and completely ended, they declared. All of America’s enslaved people were now free, some two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

That day in June would soon become “Juneteenth,” a holiday still celebrated in communities across the United States.

African Americans have now been free from slavery for over 150 years. Over the course of those years, the United States has made some appreciable and even impressive progress. In 1964, passage of the Civil Rights Act toppled Jim Crow. A year later, the Voting Rights Act challenged discriminatory voting laws.

We’ve even seen the election — and re-election — of the nation’s first black president.

So why, amid all this progress, does the Juneteenth holiday still resonate so powerfully for so many Americans?

Because Juneteenth reminds us how far we have yet to go.

Racial inequality remains one of the top issues of our time. Black households, research shows, continue to lag economically behind their white counterparts, in both income and wealth.

Last summer, the Institute for

Another View Jessicah Pierre Policy Studies and the Corporation for Enterprise Development explored that inequality in a report called the The Ever-Growing Gap, which focused on the essential role wealth plays in achieving financial security and opportunity.

Over the past 30 years, the report found, the average wealth of white families grew at three times the rate of growth for black families. If those trends continue, black families would have to work another 228 years to amass the amount of wealth white families already hold today.

That’s almost as long as the 245 years that legal slavery stained colonial America.

Over the course of those years, slave labor built the backbone of America’s economy — and gave white families a 245-year head start on building household wealth and overcoming economic insecurity.

Juneteenth helps us remember this history — and we need to remember.

The conventional narrative around wealth building in Amer-

ica simply ignores slavery and its aftermath. Those with more than ample wealth, the narrative goes, fully merit what they have. And others merit less.

“Most people look at the story of inequality through the lens of deservedness: People get what they deserve,” writes my colleague Chuck Collins in his book Born on Third Base.

The standard narrative, he says, implies “that people are poor because they don’t try as hard, have made mistakes, or lack wit and wisdom.” And the rich, the same story goes, have worked “harder, smarter, or more creatively.”

This “deservedness” narrative never acknowledges the discrimination and other barriers that have blocked black economic progress, or the public policies that have kept these barriers intact — things like housing and employment discrimination, mass incarceration, and tax policies that favor the wealthy over poor people of all colors.

It’s time to take a close look at federal policies and the role they play in keeping the growth of black wealth stagnant. This Juneteenth, let’s rededicate ourselves to closing the racial wealth divide.

Fetish drives man to badger his wife into smoking again

DEAR ABBY: I am a 28-year-old female. I recently married the most amazing man in the whole world, “Jeremy.” We connect, communicate, understand and love everything about each other. My only issue is, Jeremy has an obsession/fetish with women smoking cigarettes.

He fantasizes about me smoking all day, every day. I don’t smoke. I did for nine years, but quit five years ago (before I met him). I hated smoking — the smell, the waste of money, the example I was setting for my kids, the harm to my health and feeling out of breath.

Smoking has killed some of my relatives, and Jeremy knows it. But every day he keeps begging me to start up again. He tells me he’d do anything in the world to turn ME on, and doesn’t understand why I refuse to please him by smoking. He asks me to hold a cigarette, take pictures of myself smoking it and send them to him. He wants to smell it on my breath. He’s literally OBSESSED. It really bothers me. I’ve bawled my eyes out in front of him telling him how much I don’t want to do it. He’ll feel bad and say he’ll stop, but starts back up again. I feel like it’s selfish that he wants me to put myself at risk to arouse him. He knows how I feel about every aspect of it.

We have spent hours and hours talking this out. We plan on having a baby. I asked him how he’d feel if I smoked with his baby in my belly. He responded that I’d have to quit for the pregnancy.

I feel this is going to ruin our marriage. What should I do? Give in and start up with this horrible habit again to satisfy my husband? — LOST AND HURT IN NEW ENGLAND DEAR LOST AND HURT: I confess, your letter is a first. If Jeremy loved you, rather than risk your health

for his sexual gratification, he would be seeking professional help for his fetish.

Smoking is not a harmless habit. If you take up smoking again, it will ruin your health and endanger the health of any children you might have with him.

Do not give in. Do not risk cancer or lung disease to please him.

DEAR ABBY: Recently, I attended my daughter’s high school graduation.

It was an outdoor event, and to my chagrin, the whole crowd to our left was talking over the speakers, which made it impossible to hear. My children, who also could not hear, were mortified when I shushed the group very loudly. It made no difference, but the argument now is that I acted inappropriately.

I believe I was right, and I wish I had even stood up and asked loudly for them to please be quiet. What do you think? — QUIET, PLEASE, IN NEW HAVEN DEAR QUIET, PLEASE: I don’t think you did anything wrong. The individuals who were talking were rude not only to the speakers, but also to the audience members who wanted to hear what the speakers were saying without being distracted. Good for you for trying to get them to pipe down. I’m sorry they were so self-entitled that it didn’t work.

1 Man accused of killing parents to undergo mental evaluation

DAVENPORT — A man accused of killing his parents in Davenport will be undergoing a mental health evaluation.

Court records say a judge granted a defense motion last week for 21-year-old Sean Freese. He’s pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder. Authorities say he shot to death 58-year-old Kevin Freese and 57-year-old Donna Freese on Oct. 5 at the home they shared. Sean Freese’s trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 2, assuming he is found competent for trial.

He remains jailed pending $1 million bail.

Iowa golf course plants garden to supply on-site restaurant and zucchini.

While nothing yet has sprouted, Hickey, who studied horticulture at Iowa State University, told they expect to harvest and deliver their first batch of goods to the cooks within the next month.

At Palmer Grill, Steve Schimmel, manager of the eatery, said the partnership eventually will reduce his bills and boost the quality of dishes coming out of his kitchen.

Touting an updated meat-heavy menu, which was unveiled this spring, Schimmel said the veggies will freshen up their salads, burgers and flatbread pizzas.

“In this day and age, people are looking for that healthy bite,” he said.

Because they don’t know how much the garden will yield this first year, Hickey and Schimmel devised a plan to get rid of excess food: “If I’m not rolling it out of my kitchen as fast as we’re growing it, we’ll donate anything we have left over to food pantries in the Quad-Cities,” Schimmel said.

On a mission to offer organic farm-to-table produce, Hickey and his staff, which includes 16 seasonal employees, refrain from using any artificial fertilizers, hericides or pesticides to care for their plants.

In lieu of chemicals, workers remove weeds by hand.

Positioned next to the facility’s tree nursery and practice area, the garden consumes a former vacant space on the western edge of the 150-acre course.

“It really doesn’t interfere with golf play at all,” Hickey said, crediting the city for supporting the project.

He also praised Paul Marietta, a frequent golfer at Palmer Hills, who doubles as a certified Master Gardener, for his assistance throughout the process.

As for the hefty fence that defends against hungry deer, Sampson Fence, the Davenport-based contractor that placed the infrastructure, did the work for $4,500, $2,000 less than what it would normally cost.

University of Iowa plans to close club IOWA CITY (AP) — An Iowa university plans to close a club that has for decades hosted meetings, wedding receptions and other celebrations to make way for future redevelopments of the area.

Members of the University Club received letters from the University of Iowa administration notifying them that the club will come to an end September 2018.

The letter said the club will continue to honor memberships and provide programs, special dinners, holiday functions and private restaurant service until next year’s closing.

Members had received letters

three months prior warning of possible changes to the club, which is located in University Heights.

University Heights City Councilman Mike Haverkamp said it will be sad to see the space go, but the university now has the opportunity to enhance the western portion of the campus which can also benefit the community.

University officials are studying potential uses of the site and will present more information at the regent’s board meeting in August, said Rod Lehnertz, the university’s senior vice president for finance and operations.

For additional security, Hickey’s team lined the exterior of the area with rabbit guard, buried about a foot into the ground to block hole-digging rodents.

To aid the effort, Hickey’s wife, Lisa, and their two sons, Quinn, 8, and Blake, 10, are volunteering this summer.

The brothers have experience at their family’s garden at home, where

COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — After years of losses, officials in a western Iowa city are considering privatizing a 90-year-old city golf course.

The City of Council Bluffs is considering transferring management of Dodge Riverside golf course and its restaurant to a private manager.

The city-owned course was created in 1927. The facility lost just over $300,000 in both fiscal years 2014 and 2015, Mayor Matt Walsh said.

City officials met with staff before the 2016 season to come up with a plan to bring

down expenditures, Walsh said. The course eliminated two staff positions and increased green fees by about $2. Despite an increase in revenue, the course still lost just over $250,000. The course is projected to lose about $200,000 in fiscal year 2017, and revenue is down about $130,000.

“We have to make a business decision to stem the losses,” Walsh said. “A small percentage of residents use the course. We have to make decisions for the whole city.”

The city will request pro-

Lisa educates them and regularly uses the outdoors as a classroom.

On less than twotenths of an acre in Bettendorf, the Hickeys tend numerous food-producing plants, including blueberry and raspberry bushes and apple and peach trees.

“If you can maximize your space and use your acreage well, you can feed your family,” said Lisa,

who introduced her older son to gardening at age 3.

During a short break in his dad’s office, an eloquent Quinn summarized the goal of the new venture at Palmer Hills.

“Well, the golf course is trying to save money,” he said. “Instead of buying food from other stores, they can go over there, get the food, wash it and then just put it on your hamburger.”

The course’s employees could stay on as employees of the new company, though Walsh said it’s unclear if there would be layoffs because they’d no longer be city employees.

“This would be a business decision,” he said. “And it’s not a decision I take lightly. But we have to be a good steward of taxpayer money.”

The change in management would require City Council approval and changes wouldn’t take effect until the end of the year, after the busy golf season.

BETTENDORF (AP) — After they groom the greens and fairways each morning at Palmer Hills Golf Course in Bettendorf, groundskeepers shift their focus to a new task, unrelated to the game.

Between the 7th and 8th holes, passing players will spot an 8-foothigh fence that protects a 2,400-square-foot fruit and vegetable garden, installed last month to feed customers at Palmer Grill, the restaurant and bar on site.

“I’ve seen it at these big fancy country clubs, and I thought, ‘Why not us?’” said Brian Hickey, the maintenance manager of the municipal course since 2014. “I think everybody loves getting fresh produce out of a garden, so if we can harvest this daily and take some up there, it’s a win-win for the community.”

The tilled plot features a classic variety of tomatoes, lettuces, onions and peppers, as well as a mix of experimental crops, including cantaloupe, leek, pumpkin, watermelon

Cardinals drop championship game Davenport West claims NHS varsity baseball tournament title

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Senior catcher Reagan Maple, left, and sophomore pitcher Ryan Barr, right, celebrate a 4-2 Newton High win over Pleasantville in Saturday’s opener to the 2017 Newton Varsity Baseball Tournament. The win put the Cardinals in the championship game, which they lost 16-6 to Davenport West, at Eversman Field in Woodland Park.

Playing for their own tournament championship for the first time in a long time, Newton High’s varsity baseball team didn’t win but battled Davenport West on Saturday.

“I’m so proud of our guys. Earlier in the season if we had fallen behind like this, our guys would fold up, but not today. There was no quit in them at all,” Newton baseball head coach Dustin Brisel said following a 16-6 loss in the Newton Varsity Baseball Tournament championship game.

Newton’s varsity and junior varsity won their first games of the home tournaments Saturday putting them in the title games. Both rallied from behind to beat Pleasantville teams. The Newton junior varsity lost 7-4 to Gilbert in the junior varsity title game.

“It was a very good day for our program. I know the junior varsity players were excited about coming back in the seventh inning to win their game,” Brisel said. “It’s been awhile since both teams had been in the championship games. The varsity guys dug in and competed all day.”

The Cardinal varsity opened with a 4-2 win over the Pleasantville Trojans. The Trojans were up 2-1 when Newton rallied for three runs in the sixth inning.

Ryan Barr threw a complete game for the victory.

He walked four batters and allowed five hits. Barr struck out five, including Quintin Berglund to end the game.

For only the second time this season, Newton scored a run in the first inning. With one out, Tyler Stanton singled followed by a base-on-balls issued to Brennen Dodd. Trey Vanderlaan’s base hit loaded the bases and with two outs, Stanton scored on a passed ball.

Helped by a Newton error, Pleasantville tied the game in the fourth inning. The Trojans used another Cardinal error to score the go-ahead run in the top of the sixth inning.

Vanderlaan, who was 3-for-3 in the game, connected for his third single to leadoff Newton’s sixth inning. Barr’s sacrifice bunt moved Vanderlaan up to second. Logan Wolfe doubled but Brisel held Vanderlaan at third base.

Keith Steinbach delivered an RBI single to left to tie the game. Wolfe scored the go-ahead run on a CARDINALS | 8B

Newton softball takes seventh in Rose Festival tourney

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News STATE CENTER — Newton High’s softball Cardinals weren’t able to repeat as champions of the West Marshall Rose Festival Softball Tournament on Saturday. The Cardinals went 1-2 in the tournament.

After losing 1-0 in their opener to Des Moines Christian and dropping a 6-3 decision to Class 2A No. 5 Collins-Maxwell/Baxter, the Cardinals rolled up a 17-2 win over Gladbrook-Reinbeck. The four-inning, run-rule victory over the winless Rebels came in the seventh-place game.

“All weekend we left too many runs on base. We weren’t aggressive with our bats,” Newton head coach Kristina McNew said. “We need to learn to adjust at each at bat and put our hits together as a team.”

Against Des Moines Christian, the Cardinals had four singles in the game. Lakin Jenkins went 3-for-3 and Rilee Slycord had the other hit.

Des Moines Christian had six hits off Newton starter Anna Coyle. Three of those singles came in the third inning to produce the only run of the game. Coyle walked one and struck out four batters.

The loss lined up a rematch from Newton’s home tournament between the Cardinals and CMB, which lost to Class 4A top-ranked Benton 8-3 in its tournament opener. The Raiders avenged the loss to the Car-

dinals a week ago.

Newton, which was without two starters, had freshman Kameron Johnston in the circle for her first varsity start against the seasoned Raiders. Coyle, a sophomore, took over in the second inning for the Cardinals.

CMB struck for four runs in the second inning, led by a solo leadoff home run by Mikayla Eslinger.

A Cardinal error with one gone opened the door as Jordynn Wesselink scored a second run. Megan Ritter and Katie Camp had backto-back RBI singles to give the Raiders a 4-0 lead.

CMB freshman pitcher Mikayla Houge held Newton scoreless for four innings. Harlie Durr opened Newton’s fifth inning with a base hit. Following two fielder’s choices, Taylor Ryan drove in a run for the Cardinals.

Newton closed the gap to one run, 4-3, with two runs in the sixth frame.

Audrey Lucas drew a oneout walk followed by a single by Kennedy Leiker. The two base runners ended up at second and third on a Raider miscue in the outfield. With two gone, Jenkins had a two-run single.

A couple of Newton errors in the top of the seventh inning allowed the Raiders to plate two insurance runs. Ryan singled to lead off the bottom of the inning for Newton and ended up at second on a fielding error.

Slycord lined out to Eslinger at second base and Ryan was doubled off the base for the second out.

Houge struck out Johnston to end the game. Houge had 10 strikeouts in the game.

Jenkins had three singles and Ryan had two singles for Newton. Hitting a single each were Lucas, Kennedy Leiker and Durr.

Holly Jessen produced two singles and a double for the Raiders and Camp had two singles. Eslinger hit the home run. Houge and Wesselink each had a double. Ritter, Abbey Kahler and Abby Husak each hit a single.

Newton began the seventh-place game with a single run in the first inning. The Cardinals pushed across seven runs in the second frame and added two more in the third. Gladbrook-Reinbeck scored twice in the fourth, but Newton closed out the game with a seven-run bottom of the inning.

Sophomore Maddison Thayer got her first varsity pitching victory for Newton. She allowed four hits, walked two and struck out one.

Slycord was 3-for-3 with two singles and a double to lead the Newton offense.

Bailey Davis and Mackenzie Johnson had two singles each. Hitting a single apiece were Jenkins, Lizzy Coyle, Karley Leiker, Kennedy Leiker and Thayer.

Newton (13-11) takes a 7-5 Little Hawkeye Conference mark into the 7:30 p.m. game Monday at Grinnell.

Raider baseball can’t overcome Norse’s fast start

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s baseball team was held to two hits against Roland-Story, and a fast start by the Norse was enough to claim a 5-1 road win during Heart of Iowa C on fe rence play on Friday.

Kemp T h e Norse scored three runs in the first inning and went up 4-1 after two innings before coasting to their 13th win of the season.

Senior Brady Kemp had one hit, stole one base and scored the team’s lone run, and sophomore Derrick Klemme had the Raiders’ other hit and walked once.

The Raiders (312 overall, 2-9 in the HOIC) walked six times in the loss. Junior Travis Lindemoen walked once and stole a base.

Senior Creighton Caple took the loss on the mound after allowing three earned runs on five hits with two walks and three strikeouts.

Win over Iowa Valley keeps Tigerhawk baseball on top of SICL

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

COLFAX — The Colfax-Mingo baseball team has some standout pitchers and the offense is starting to come around. But the Tigerhawks are built a lot on defense.

And three big defensive plays helped keep Colfax-Mingo on top of the South Iowa Cedar League standings Friday night.

A throw to the plate from center field by freshman Trinity Schroeder, a nifty glove by Jonathan Jacobs at shortstop and a game-ending double play highlighted the Tigerhawks’ 8-3 triumph over Iowa Valley.

The home victory pushed the Tigerhawks to 11-2 overall and 11-1 in SICL play. Colfax-Mingo has won six straight games and has not lost a conference game since June 2.

“We are built on great defense and making plays,” Colfax-Mingo coach Greer Milledge said. “Being able to shut them down and make some big plays is what keeps us in these games. We pride ourselves on being able to play good defense and keep the runs down.”

Iowa Valley’s Noah Mumby came up with a game-tying RBI single in the fifth inning, but Schroeder made sure the game stayed tied when he threw out another Iowa Valley runner trying to score.

The throw by Schroeder was up the third-base line but ar-

rived well before Parker Wieck reached home, and sophomore Zarek Hill applied the tag to keep it at 1-all.

“I ultimately just want to stop them from advancing anyway I can. I honestly just wing it and hope it gets there,” Schroeder said.

The Tigerhawks answered Iowa Valley’s single run in the fifth with a three-run bottom of the fifth.

Junior Alex Lewis, who started on the mound, walked to begin the fifth and then Schroeder singled.

Freshman Brady Berkey put the home team back in front with an RBI single and then senior Jimmy Camp made it 3-1 with an RBI groundout.

Berkey later scored on an Iowa Valley (5-7 overall, 5-5 overall) error.

Lewis breezed through the first 17 outs for Colfax-Mingo. Six of the first seven outs he recorded came on groundouts. Through four innings, he allowed only a single to Tiger hitters.

Iowa Valley tied the game in the fifth, but Lewis retired the first two batters he faced in the sixth.

That’s when trouble came.

The next four batters reached base and two of them scored to make it 4-3.

Milledge pulled Lewis in favor of freshman Trystin Ross.

Ross walked in a run before getting out of the jam with a strikeout.

The Tigerhawks plated four runs in the sixth to pull away

before Ross finished off the win by facing the minimum in the seventh.

Ross walked Iowa Valley’s Jake Jordan with one out, but he was erased on the basepaths when Ben Smith grounded into a game-ending double play. Lewis started the double play with a nifty snag at third base.

“It seems like we have been able to halt any big runs this season,” Milledge said. “They had the bases loaded in the sixth there and only scored two runs. We put ourselves in good positions defensively and then had great at-bats at the plate.”

The Tigerhawks scored four runs in the sixth off three hits and two walks. Junior Misha Seebeck led off the frame with a single and then Ross doubled to put runners on second and third with no outs.

Junior Jarod Nichols was walked intentionally to load the bases. Seebeck then scored on a wild pitch.

Lewis loaded the bases again with a walk. Schroeder drove in another run with an RBI single, Nichols scored after Iowa Valley failed to execute a run down and Berkey made it 8-3 with an RBI groundout.

Schroeder finished with three hits, two RBIs and a run at the plate. Seebeck had two hits and Nichols and Lewis both scored twice.

“I try to get my hands through, swing hard, keep my head on it and hope to hit it in the gap somewhere,” Schroed-

er said.

Lewis improved to 1-1 on the mound after allowing three earned runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings with 74 pitches. Ross needed 22 pitches to finish the win in 1 1/3 innings.

“He was going to be done in the seventh anyway,” Milledge said of Lewis. “That was a very quality outing. I will take that any day of the week.”

Milledge had to shift around some players to work through not having senior Adam Teed in the lineup. Teed missed the game following an ejection Wednesday.

Seebeck moved from first base to left field to fill in for Teed and Nichols played in Seebeck’s normal position of first base.

The defense did not commit an error. The Tigerhawks didn’t miss a beat.

“We can put guys in several different spots and still be in good position to win the game,” Milledge said. “That throw by (Schroeder) was a big play. He hasn’t had that confidence all year, but he’s finally getting it. He is starting to take over the outfield and be the captain out there. He came up throwing a couple times and that was good to see.”

Colfax-Mingo plays second place Lynnville-Sully at 6 p.m.

Monday in Sully. The Hawks come into the game 9-2 in SICL play.

CMB softball gets revenge on Newton, finishes 2-1 at Rose Festival tournament

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STATE CENTER — One week after splitting two games against Benton and Newton, the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter softball team recorded another split against the Bobcats and Cardinals on Saturday at the annual Rose Festival Tournament.

The Class 2A No. 5 Raiders edged 4A No. 1 Benton in the Newton tournament and then was defeated by the Cardinals later in the day on June 10. Saturday, Benton flipped the script on CMB with an 8-3 win, but the Raiders got the better of Newton, 6-3, later in the day.

CMB improved to 19-5 on the season after ending its day with a 13-1 win over Grand View Christian. The 2-1 day gave the Raiders a fifth-place finish in the tournament.

The Raiders were down three starters on the day. Still missing seniors Heather Jessen and Veronica Condon because of a school trip to

Italy, sophomore Hannah Caple also missed the day to attend a wedding in Okoboji.

Freshman Holly Jessen helped the Raiders get an early lead on Benton though. She laced a two-run double to put CMB up 3-1 after one inning.

Benton (22-3) came back to tie the game with two runs in the third and then pulled away with a run in the fifth and four more in the sixth off CMB starter Abbey Kahler. The game was called after six innings because of the 90-minute time limit.

Senior Mikayla Eslinger had two of the Raiders’ five hits, and she drove in a run and scored once. Junior Jordynn Wesselink walked twice.

Kahler (7-5) allowed seven earned runs on 11 hits with 10 strikeouts and three walks in the loss.

Freshman Mikayla Houge struck out 10 and allowed just one earned run in the win over Newton in Round 2. The Cardinals (13-11) got eight CMB SOFTBALL | 4B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Noah Henkenius gets hit by the pitch during the first inning of the Mustangs’ 7-1 win over Grundy Center in the opening round of the Rose Festival Tournament in State Center.

Mustangs win Rose Festival tournament

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STATE CENTER — The Prairie City-Monroe baseball team got big performances by a quartet of freshmen Saturday during the annual Rose Festival tournament.

The Mustangs used three freshmen pitchers to claim the tournament title during wins over Grundy Center and West Marshall.

PCM advanced to the championship game for the second straight year following a 7-1 win over Grundy Center, and then the Mustangs rallied to down host West Marshall, 3-2, in the title game.

PCM and West Marshall met in the championship game for the third time in four years (the 2015 season was rained out), and the Mustangs avenged an 11-8, eight-inning loss from last year by scoring all three of their runs in the final two innings.

The Mustangs trailed 2-0 after West Marshall (16-4) plated its final run in the top of the sixth inning. PCM tied the game in the sixth with a pair of runs and then walked off with the tourney title in the seventh inning.

In the sixth, senior Braden Phifer collected an infield single and then sophomore Brayton Van Dyke reached on an error.

GRIMES — A Little Hawkeye Conference road trip for Newton High’s Cardinals was cut short on Friday night. The Cardinals were slated to play a conference doubleheader against host Dallas Center-Grimes.

The two teams got the first game in — a 5-3 win for the Mustangs — but only four complete innings of the nightcap were played before severe weather halted action. The game was suspended with DCG up 1-0, and will be completed at a later date.

Newton went scoreless for the first three innings of the opener on Friday. It trailed 4-0.

“We had a couple of errors early, which cost us,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said. “We’re struggling to get that clutch hit in innings and in games overall.”

Two doubles and a Cardinal error produced two runs for the Mustangs in the first innings. Back-to-back defensive miscues by Newton led to two more runs in the second inning.

In the fourth frame, the Cardinals came to live at the plate. Ryan Barr and Ben Leal produced backto-back base hits and Logan Wolfe drew a walk to load the bases. Blayden Rhone hit into a fielder’s choice, retiring Barr at home.

Tigerhawks end big week with another blowout

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

File Photo Brooks Koepka reacts on the 18th hole after winning the U.S. Open Championship during Sunday’s final round of the 2017 U.S. Open Championship at Erin Hills in Hartford, Wis.

Brooks Koepka caps a record week with US Open title ERIN, Wis. (AP) — Brooks Koepka received a short piece of advice from a valuable source on the eve of the final round at the U.S. Open.

Defending champion Dustin Johnson was doing most of the talking.

“It was a long phone call for us — it was like two minutes,” Koepka said.

“But he just said a few things, and just stay patient. And I’ll win if I stay patient and just keep doing what I’m doing.”

What he did looked awfully familiar Sunday at Erin Hills, minus any mess involving the rules.

With athleticism and power, and four straight putts over the back nine that allowed him to pull away, Koepka capped off his hardscrabble journey around the world and found stardom at home as the U.S. Open champion.

He closed with a 5-under 67, only realizing after his par on the final hole that a birdie would have set yet another U.S. Open record in a week filled with them.

Koepka finished at 16-under 272, matching the lowest score to par first set by Rory McIlroy six years ago at Congressional.

Tied for the lead with six holes to play, Koepka holed an 8-foot par putt on the 13th hole that gave him confidence with his stroke and momentum to pour in birdies on the next three holes to turn the final hour into a celebration of another young star in golf.

The 27-year-old Koepka wound up winning by four shots over Brian Harman, who was done in by backto-back bogeys right when Koepka was making his run, and Hideki Matsuyama, who closed with a 66.

“That’s probably the most emotion I’ve ever shown coming down the stretch,” Koepka said. “It feels amazing to get my name on this trophy with so many other great names. It’s truly an honor.”

Emotion? The most he displayed was a light fist pump, his hand clenched a little tighter with each birdie, and a double fist pump on the 18th when he tapped in for par.

It’s not much different from Johnson.

They are close friends on the golf course and in the gym, and they play a similar game of power off the tee, a clean strike with the iron and a knack for looking calm even as the pressure is ramping up.

And now their names are on the U.S. Open trophy, one after the other.

It capped quite a journey for the Floridian. Without a card on any tour when Koepka got out of Florida State, he filled his passport on the Challenge Tour with stamps from Kazakhstan to Kenya, Scotland and Spain, India and the Madeira Island.

One night in Scotland, he called his agent and wanted to come home, even though he was leading the tournament. He had been on the road for so long, in so many different coun-

tries, and was feeling lonely. He won the next day to graduate to the European Tour. The next year, he earned a spot in the U.S. Open through a qualifier in England, and his tie for fourth at Pinehurst No. 2 helped him earn a card on the PGA Tour.

Koepka took it from there — a victory in Turkey against a strong field, his first PGA Tour victory in the Phoenix Open, his first Ryder Cup and now a major championship.

“To go over there, I think it helped me grow up a little bit and really figure out that, hey, play golf, get it done, and then you can really take this somewhere,” he said.

Koepka became the seventh straight first-time winner of a major championship, and it was the first time since 1998-2000 that Americans won their national championship three straight years.

Tommy Fleetwood, who played alongside Koepka and closed with a 72 to finish fourth, played the Challenge Tour a year before Koepka arrived.

“It gives you a good grounding,” Fleetwood said. “Obviously, Brooks dealt with it amazingly. He came and kicked everyone’s (behind) over there, didn’t he? But he’s proven for a long time how good he is. Now he’s done it in a major.”

It was only fitting that Koepka left Erin Hills with yet another record matched or broken.

McIlroy finished at 16-under 268 when he won on rain-softened Congressional in the 2011 U.S. Open.

But the low scoring went much deeper than that. Only six players had ever reached double digits under par in the previous 116 times at the U.S. Open. McIlroy and Tiger Woods (12 under at Pebble Beach in 2000) had been the only players to finish there.

This week alone, nine players reached at least 10 under and seven finished there.

Xander Schauffele, a rookie on the PGA Tour playing in his first U.S. Open, birdied his last hole for a 69 to tie for fifth at 10-under 268 along with Bill Haas (69) and Rickie Fowler (72), who was poised at yet another major to win only to fall back. Fowler started one shot out of the lead at the Masters this year and shot 76. He was only two behind when he made the turn, but bogeys on the 12th and 15th holes — and no birdies until No. 18 — ended his hopes.

Justin Thomas, coming off a 9-under 63 that matched the major championship scoring record and was the first 9-under round at a U.S. Open, went out in 39 and closed with a 75 to tie for ninth.

The week ended with 31 players under par, breaking the U.S. Open record of 28 players at Medinah in 1990.

There were 133 sub-par rounds, nine more than the previous record in that 1990 U.S. Open.

Two inductee into NHS Baseball Hall of Fame

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Cameron Dlouhy admitted when he walked onto Eversman Field Saturday evening, he really wanted to have his glove on and head right to the mound.

Dlouhy had to stop at the first-base line where he was inducted in the Newton High School Baseball of Fame.

Dlouhy, who played for the Cardinals from 2004 to 2007, and John Schermerhorn, who played from 1997 to 2000, were the 2017 NHS Baseball Hall of Fame inductees.

Dlouhy, who lives in Ankeny, was able to attend Saturday night’s ceremony between games at the 2017 Newton Varsity Baseball Tournament.

Schermerhorn lives in Las Vegas, Nev., and wasn’t able to attend.

Both former Cardinals pitched for Newton. Schermerhorn has 127 career strikeouts and Dlouhy racked up 125 career strikeouts.

Dlouhy had 130 innings pitched in his Newton career and Schermerhorn had 128 innings pitched. Schermerhorn has 12 pitching wins for his career and Dlouhy recorded three saves in the 2007 season.

“I was shocked and excited when I got the call about being inducted into the hall of fame,” Dlouhy said Saturday. “I feel privileged to be a part of this great program and Newton is such a great town.”

Dlouhy was an all-conference selection as a senior, when he had 19 doubles and drove in 40 runs. He ended up with 75 career RBIs and scored 63 runs in his career. In his 328 career at bats, Dlouhy had 104 hits and 34 doubles.

Dlouhy played baseball since he was 5-years-old. He was a three-sport athlete at Newton High playing football,

soccer and baseball all four years. Dlouhy was a captain in all three sports as a senior. He also tried basketball and wrestling each for one year.

“My favorite memories of those years are about just hanging out with the guys I played ball with. Always before practice, we played pickle and catch and just messing around as we built the camaraderie of the team” Dlouhy said.

“Tonight brings back a lot of great memories, especially the great group of guys I played Newton baseball with.”

Dlouhy graduated from Iowa State University with a bachelor of science degree in marketing. He is a sales and marketing manger with Farm Bureau in West Des Moines.

He has two sons, Tryce, 7, and Breckyn, 5.

Schermerhorn had seven career saves as a pitcher with four coming in the 1998 season. He had 151 at bats that season also and 149 at bats in 2000. Schermerhorn was an all-conference player as a senior in 2000, when he hit seven home runs.

Schermerhorn finished with 502 career at bats with 166 hits, 13 career home runs and 36 career doubles. He drove in 108 runs in his career and scored 105 runs.

Schermerhorn played football, baseball and competed in track at Newton High. He went on to play two years of baseball at Indian Hills Community College then played at Newman University. Schermerhorn played independent ball for the Sioux City Explorers.

Both inductee’s hall of fame signs were hung on the outside of the right field fence at Eversman Field following the ceremony.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B passed ball and Steinbach advanced to third base on the play. Reagan Maple’s hard hit ground ball resulted in an error by the Trojan shortstop and a run scored.

Barr and the Cardinals retired the Trojans in the top of the seventh for a 4-2 win.

“I wasn’t thinking up there and that was the key,” Steinbach said of his hit. “In previous at bats for me, I was thinking too much and pressing too hard to hit the ball. It was a big situation and I tried to relax and make contact.”

Steinbach, who is a senior, said Newton’s lack of hitting in key situations comes from trying too hard. He said all the players want to come through at the plate, and not relaxing.

“We work at hitting every day. When it comes to game day, we have to continue to trust ourselves to hit the ball.

It’s a big win for us. We’re coming out to play the game not the team and trust our instincts,” Steinbach said.

In the opener, Wolfe doubled while Stanton, Steinbach

and Maple each had a single.

Brisel said Steinbach and Maple hadn’t had a lot of varsity at bats this season and did a great job with key hits in the sixth. Wolfe’s double was a clutch hit to keep the rally going, he said.

“Seeing those guys come up with the big hits was fun. It gets me excited to see these guys excited to get the win and have success. Ryan threw an excellent game for us. He was at pitch 109 and the max (number of pitches) he can throw is 110,” Brisel said. “He was able to throw the strikeout and shut it down.”

Pitching and pitch-count are on the minds of most Iowa high

school head coaches this season.

Brisel said coaches are weighing conference games versus non-conference games, especially the weekend tournaments.

In Saturday’s championship game, Newton and Davenport West used three pitchers each.

The Cardinals went with senior Josh Gulling, who made his second varsity start of his career, junior Darren Revell and sophomore Landon Criswell. Revell and Criswell don’t have any varsity starts.

The Falcons jumped out to an 8-0 start with three runs in each of the first two innings and two more in the third frame. Gulling went 2 1/3 in-

nings, giving up eight runs on 11 hits and one walk and one strikeout.

“Like I said, our guys dug in at that point. They put up four runs and put pressure on Davenport West. They had a couple of pitching changes there. I don’t think they expected that from us,” Brisel said.

Trevor Ergenbright began the Newton third inning with a base hit and Stanton reached on an error. Brennen Dodd delivered a two-run base hit followed by a single from Vanderlaan. Barr’s groundout produced a run and Wolfe had an RBI single.

Newton had 13 hits in the game, but all were singles.

Davenport West racked up 20 hits, and six doubles. The Cardinals left 11 runners on base.

The Falcons scored a run in the fourth and two more in the fifth to go up 9-4. Ergenbright led off the bottom of the sixth inning with a base hit, but was out at second on a fielder’s choice by Stanton.

Dodd and Vanderlaan had base hits to load the bases.

Stanton scored on an error. Barr drove in another run with a fly ball, but Newton’s rally ended there. Davenport West tacked on five more runs in the seventh inning, and retired the Cardinals in the bottom of the frame.

Revell pitched 3 2/3 innings for Newton, giving up three runs on six hits and one walk. Criswell worked one inning, allowing five runs on three hits and two hit batters.

Dodd, Vanderlaan and Steinbach each were 3-for-4 with three singles apiece. Ergenbright had two singles.

Stanton and Wolfe had a base hit each.

“We had some errors defensively in this game. Some of the at-bats were great this game, and some were not so good,” Brisel said. “We’re late in the week and our pitchers threw strikes. This is a really good hitting 4A team, and we knew that coming into the game.”

Carlisle (13-5) won the third-place game 11-2 over Pleasantville (12-7) at the Newton tournament. Davenport West (11-9) defeated Carlisle 11-1 in the opening round.

Newton is 4-17 on the season. The Cardinals play a 7:30 p.m. Little Hawkeye Conference game Monday at Grinnell.
