Supervisors considering a cattle confinement expansion

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

A public hearing has been set for the construction of a confinement feeding operation to be located south of Lynnville. The Jasper County Board of Supervisors set July 11 to hear public feedback on the addition of a cattle confinement feeding operations during its Tuesday meeting.

Kevin Van Kooten has filed paperwork to add a new 100 head deep bedded beef cattle confinement building at his existing swine confinement facility located in the Lynn Grove Township near Lynnville. If

approved, the operation would expand to 2,024 animal units consisting of 4,810 head of finishing swine and 100 head of beef cattle.

“Once you get past a certain threshold of animal units, you have to do the master matrix, which we as a county decided to do,” Environmental Health Director Kevin Luetters said. “The master matrix allows the counties to have additional setbacks from the state setbacks.

It sets them back a little bit farther and puts them in maybe a better location.”

Gubernatorial candidate’s speech focuses on Iowa’s education policy

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News

MORE INSIDE Full story about Corbett’s bid for Iowa governor • See Page 7

Rotary Club of Newton welcomed guest speaker Ron Corbett Tuesday afternoon to share his views on Iowa’s education policy.

Corbett, who is a Newton High School graduate and mayor of Cedar Rapids, runs a think tank called Engage Iowa. Engage Iowa describes itself as a conservative, freedom-focused policy incubator that crafts common sense solutions to move the state forward economically, educationally and environmentally.

Later on Tuesday, the former Speaker of the Iowa House announced his candidacy for governor. He is expected to challenge Gov. Kim Reynolds in the 2018

Republican primary.

At the Newton Rotary Club gathering, Corbett discussed the state’s failure on K-12 education funding. The former 13-year Republican state representative is calling for Iowa to create an additional pool of funds to go toward a performance-based pay system for public school teachers.

In addition, Corbett wants to set up a Principal’s Academy for the state’s principals and an innovation fund for public schools.

The legislature has approved historically low state supplemental aid for public schools for the last several years. Recalling his

time as an athlete at NHS, Corbett compared public education to football.

“The game of football has changed a little bit over the years, but there’s two things that haven’t changed — blocking and tackling,” Corbett said. “You have to take care of those fundamentals … The same is true in public education — teachers and principals.”

Corbett said school districts should work to build incentive-based pay models for teachers. Of course, local districts can only create such a system if they have the funds to do so. That is where Corbett’s plan to create an additional pool of state funds specifically for teacher pay comes in.

Kid Assist donates Hanson Family jugglers perform at Newton Public Library virtual reality bike to BMS

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News For more than 20 years, Kid Assist Inc. has partnered with schools in Jasper County to enhance the quality of life for children and adults with disabilities.

The not-for-profit organization provides recreational and other adapted equipment and materials to help individuals increase their self-sufficiency. Kid Assist has focused primarily on kids with physical disabilities, but recently, students at Berg Middle School with behavioral issues were assisted.

Kid Assist donated an

Expresso Bike to Berg this year. In addition to providing exercise, the bike serves students by reducing disruptive behaviors in the classroom, according to a Harvard University study.

The stationary bike, which is connected to a computer screen and features virtual reality games, has been warmly received by some students. The Harvard study found that a minimum of 10 to 15 minutes on the bike led to less disruptive behaviors.

Kid Assist volunteer Linda Anderson has been with the organization

Unicycles, spinning plates and juggling balls and clubs are just a few of the items that were used when the Hanson family, of Kanawha, came to town Tuesday to perform their tricks at the Newton Public Library.

The family of seven who once performed alongside the Harlem GlobeTrotters, made their way to Newton to perform for an audience of youngsters.

More than 30 children and parents who had registered to attend filled one of the library’s meeting rooms.

Today in History

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Wednesday, June 21, the 172nd day of 2017. There are 193 days left in the year. Summer begins at 12:24 a.m. Eastern time.

Today’s Highlights in History: On June 21, 1942, German forces led by Generaloberst (Colonel General) Erwin Rommel captured the Libyan city of Tobruk during World War II. (Following his victory, Rommel was promoted by Adolf Hitler to the rank of Field Marshal; Tobruk was retaken by the Allies in Nov. 1942.) An Imperial Japanese submarine fired shells at Fort Stevens on the Oregon coast, causing little damage.

On this date: In 1788, the United States Constitution went into effect as New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify it.

In 1834, Cyrus Hall McCormick received a patent for his reaping machine.

In 1954, the American Cancer Society presented a study to the American Medical Association meeting in San Francisco which found that men who regularly smoked cigarettes died at a considerably higher rate than non-smokers.

In 1964, civil rights workers Michael H. Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James E. Chaney were slain in Philadelphia, Mississippi; their bodies were found buried in an earthen dam six weeks later. (Forty-one years later on this date in 2005, Edgar Ray Killen, an 80-year-old former Ku Klux Klansman, was found guilty of manslaughter; he was sentenced to 60 years in prison.)

In 1982, a jury in Washington, D.C. found John Hinckley Jr. not guilty by reason of insanity in the shootings of President Ronald Reagan and three other men.

In 1989, a sharply divided Supreme Court ruled that burning the American flag as a form of political protest was protected by the First Amendment.

In 1997, the WNBA made its debut as the New York Liberty defeated the host Los Angeles Sparks 67-57.

Ten years ago: Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, the chief U.S. nuclear envoy, made a rare trip to North Korea in a surprise bid to accelerate international efforts to press the communist government to abandon its nuclear weapons program.

Bob Evans, creator of his namesake restaurant chain, died in Cleveland at age 89.

Five years ago: The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously threw out penalties against Fox and ABC television stations that violated the Federal Communications Commission policy regulating curse words and nudity on television, but the justices declined to issue a broader constitutional ruling.

One year ago: Hillary Clinton, during a visit to the battleground state of Ohio, said Donald Trump would send the U.S. economy back into recession, warning that his “reckless” approach would hurt workers still trying to recover from the 2008 economic turbulence. North Korea fired two suspected powerful new Musudan midrange ballistic missiles, according to U.S. and South Korean military officials, the communist regime’s fifth and sixth such attempts since April 2016.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A pet squirrel named Joey who gained fame as a crime-fighter might be more of the lover type.

Joey, who police credited with scaring off a burglar trying to break into his home’s gun safe, made his long goodbyes earlier this month, then scampered up a backyard apple tree at his Meridian, Idaho, home and hasn’t been seen since.

“If I had to guess, he found a girlfriend and they’re off doing their squirrel thing,” said Adam Pearl, who raised Joey.

A University of Idaho scientist said that’s probably right.

“For a lot of mammals, behavior changes once spring comes,” said Janet Rachlow, a professor at the school’s Department of Fish and Wildlife Sciences.

Entertainment ‘Bachelor’ contestant lawyer disputes no misconduct finding LOS ANGELES (AP) — No cast member misbehaved or was in danger on the set of ABC’s “Bachelor in Paradise,” producer Warner Bros. said Tuesday after a review of show videotape.

Production on “The Bachelor” spinoff that had been suspended during the probe will resume, Warner said in a statement. ABC immediately said that the reality series will air this summer as planned.

But an attorney for contestant Corinne Olympios dismissed the findings and vowed an independent investigation that he said will include additional witnesses.

The studio’s investigation conducted with an outside law firm found that the footage “does not support any charge of misconduct by a cast member,” Warner said in a statement.

“Nor does the tape show, contrary to many press reports, that the safety of any cast member was ever in jeopardy,”

AP Photo Corinne Olympios, a contestant on ABC’s “Bachelor in Paradise,” said she was a “victim” who was seeking therapy for what she called the physical and emotional trauma she experienced during the taping of one of the show’s episodes on June 4.

month or which contestants were involved.

But last week, Olympios said she was a “victim” who was seeking therapy for what she called the physical and emotional trauma she experienced on the set June 4 but had little memory of.

“It needs to be made crystal clear that production of ‘Bachelor in

Paradise’ was shut down because of multiple complaints” from producers and crew members on the set but not from Olympios, Martin Singer, her attorney, said in a statement.

“It comes as no surprise that Warner Bros., as a result of its own internal investigation, would state that no wrong doing had occurred. Our own investigation will continue based on multiple new witnesses coming forward revealing what they saw and heard,” Singer said.

Despite the finding, Warner said it planned to implement changes to the show’s policies and procedures “to enhance and further ensure the safety and security” of all participants.

“Bachelor in Paradise” first debuted in 2014, bringing together former contestants on “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette.” They live together in a beach house, looking for a possible relationship with a fellow housemate.

Bike Continued from Page 1A since the beginning.

While working for Heartland AEA as a pediatric physical therapist, she came upon a similar operation in Marion County that provided equipment for disabled kids.

After learning about how great the Marion County program was, Anderson said, Kid Assist was born in the mid 1990s to help children in Jasper County. A $5,000 start-up grant from United Way put the program in motion.

Kid Assist fills a gap left by insurance for many families. Insurance companies don’t always cover all the equipment disabled people need, Anderson said. Whether it’s a walker or a special bike, Kid Assist can help.

“The most rewarding part is seeing families being able to do normal things with their children with disabilities,” Anderson said.

In addition to disabled students, the organization is changing up

its game to help Berg students in other ways with the Expresso Bike. The middle school is thankful for the assistance.

“Kid Assist is a great organization that is willing to help any child with just about any challenge,” said Berg Principal Lisa Sharp. “More people need to know more about this great organization.”

Kid Assist helps adults, too. Maybe, for example, someone recently had hip surgery and needs special equipment to help them in the bathroom. Kid Assist can help.

“You never know when you’re going to need something,” Anderson said. “We’re all temporarily able-bodied.”

Anderson, who has been retired for nine years and volunteers her time, said Kid Assist accepts donations of both equipment and money.

She is also looking for someone to help maintain the bikes. Call her at 641-521-1153 for more information.

Mark and Christa F. Hanson and just four of their children, Matthew, Christa B., Luke and Caleb all performed.

Christa B., 22 and the oldest child, kicked off the show with her unicycle, which she began learning how to ride when she was 7 years old. Christa B. not only taught herself to unicycle but she also taught herself multiple tricks, one of those tricks she demonstrated was jump roping while on her unicycle.

“I was determined to teach myself how to ride a unicycle and I ended up wining first place in a national competition in 2008,” Christa B. said. “Now my two favorite things are reading and riding my unicycle.”

The family of many talents is centered around juggling. Mark demonstrated several juggling acts. He had the children roaring with laughter at times and clapping in amazement at other times.

Mark juggled like a lion, a sea lion, a giraffe and how other animals, and he also demonstrated his most unique talent of all — being the fastest three-ball juggler in the world with 520 catches in two minutes, according to the Guin-

Mark started juggling at age 19 and found out quickly the hobby was not an easy one. He even failed several times at events when he was young. However, Mark continued to pursue juggling and hopes his children will learn from his perseverance.

To top off the show, the four children put on several acts, including passing clubs to one another while moving across the room and even passing the clubs to one another while riding on unicycles.

The family also talked to children about making their world a better place. Topics included picking up trash at local parks, helping those who don’t have food and helping those in other countries who don’t have clean water.

The Hanson Family travels surrounding states to perform and commented that the children at Newton’s library were one of the best audiences.

At the end of the show, entertainers allowed the children to try their hand at juggling with scarves and spinning plates.

“I think most people would say it’s easier to try and get the best and the brightest if you have a higher average salary versus a lower average salary,” he said.

School districts such as Ankeny and Waukee, Corbett said, he’s not too worried about. It’s the poorer districts with declining student populations that will be affected the most. Using the current formula for teacher pay, he said, the disparity between richer school districts and poorer ones will grow.

“That’s why it’s imperative for the state to come up with the resources, so there isn’t that inequity in the system,” Corbett said.

The guest speaker also provided copies of his recently published book, “Beyond Promises,” to the Rotary members. In one of the chapters, Corbett details his formative years in Newton.

“I have great memories of Newton,” he said.

“It was a wonderful place to grow up in the 70s.”

It was great to be back in town and still see on the water tower, “Red Pride,” he said. It serves as a reminder for how important community pride is for the mayor of Iowa’s second most populated city.

When Cedar Rapids was hit with a massive flood in 2008, one of Corbett’s responsibilities as mayor, he said, was to build up confidence in the community. His experience with Red Pride as a teenager helped him deal with the natural disaster.

“Remembering almost 40 years ago growing up in Newton and experiencing Red Pride has really helped guide me over the years,” he said.

Crazy dog mom

Candidly Unfiltered Kayla Langmaid

T

he last few days, I think I’ve gotten a glimpse of how I will be as a parent. I’ve never had to take care of a sick child before, I don’t even think I can count on one hand how many dirty diapers I’ve changed.

I currently have no desire to have kids of my own yet, but thank goodness I know how to take care of a rambunctious 2-year-old black Labrador.

Hank is like no other dog I’ve ever known. I’m sure many pet owners can say the same about their furry friends, but Hank is one of a kind. He can read emotions so well. He knows when I’m upset, annoyed or sick and has offered me endless cuddles when I’m not feeling so hot.

So when it was his turn to be in the

sick boat, I turned into a crazy dog mom. My fiancé, Adam, and I went fishing over the weekend, and we have only brought Hank along one other time.

He has previously been scared of water and doesn’t like baths or getting wet, but the first time we took him to the pond, he went nuts. He wouldn’t go far from the edge of the bank, but he cooled himself off while splashing around for about five seconds before returning to land. This happened countless times, and he never strayed away from the shallow parts.

This past weekend, Hankers got a little more brave and went into some deeper waters. Do dogs just teach themselves how to swim? Does he need a doggie life jacket? Anyhow, he

ended up going out where he couldn’t touch, and he panicked. He stalled for a few seconds and then survival mode kicked in and his two front paws went a paddling.

He made his way back to the “safe spot” and all was fine, but I have to admit it worried me. After that he didn’t dare go too far out. When we got home we bathed Hank, and he was worn out and he called it night.

The next morning, I immediately knew something wasn’t right. Hank is usually an early riser and getting him to get up from his doggie bed was like trying to get a teenager out of bed, (I assume), since I don’t have kids. He moved slowly and walked with his tail to the side, and it was limp.

I let him outside to go potty, and he looked around and turned around to come back inside. This is very unusual since he can’t seem to get outside fast enough most mornings to relieve his bladder.

He was mopey. I left for work reluctantly and wanted badly to stay home with him. Hence, crazy dog mom. I made sure Adam kept an eye on him all day, and I rushed home to be by his side.

We called the vet and they told us if it didn’t get any better in the next few days to take him in. We heard from some friends that he had “swimmer’s tail.” Kind of like swimmer’s ear. I guess he must’ve pulled an old muscle in the water trying to stay a float.

So after a day of cuddles, endless treats and spoiling him he finally got a blast of energy, he went potty, raced inside the house, grabbed his frisbee and was ready to play.

I was so relieved. His tail isn’t 100 percent normal but it is starting to wag like normal again. I guess mothering instincts come in all forms. I was so worried about my pup and best friend.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

On ‘muh principles’ “Muh principles.”

It’s a phrase we hear over and over on Twitter whenever someone criticizes morally troubling anti-leftist tactics used by members of the right. They say: “What are you, some sort of coward? What, are you worried about muh principles?” The phrase is meant to deride the supposed moral preening of those who criticize — they must think themselves high and mighty, whining about virtue where some good hard-nosed old-fashioned get-in-the-dirt-andfight-’em tactics would do. Those worries about right and wrong just hamstring the right. “Muh principles” are a liability. Why can’t those weaklings just get over their supposed moral purity and fight in the trenches?

Now, I’m no fan of political cowardice. I wrote an entire book called “Bullies,” in which I blasted the left’s character assassination techniques. I routinely speak on college campuses in conditions that are less than physically secure. I’m more than happy to tell people things they don’t want to hear in political debate, and I’ve been threatened more than once for my trouble.

But I’m a fan of principles.

I’m a fan of principles because without them, politics becomes meaningless. Even those who criticize “muh principles” have their own principles. The “muh principles” crowd’s highest principle is supposedly defeating the left. That is its entire argument: If you stick with your wishy-washy principles about civility, you’ll lose! And if you lose, my principles will be destroyed!

But, as it turns out, many of those who mock “muh principles” have no actual principles other than empty tribal victory. Never was that clearer than this week when several of the self-appointed members of the Trump-ardent defense squad went full social justice warrior, invading a Shakespeare in the Park performance of “Julius Caesar” that depicts President Trump as Caesar. Screaming “Liberal hate kills!” they stormed the stage, called audience members Joseph Goebbels and held up the production. Those who objected to this obtuse behavior were simply being hamstrung by “muh principles,” they then proclaimed.

Except that there were no principles at stake here.

What was the supposed principle? Perhaps it was that artists shouldn’t make art that invokes images of violence inflicted on a president. Then why weren’t they upset about a rodeo clown dressed up as President Obama in 2013? Perhaps it was that radical rhetoric leads to violence. Then why weren’t they upset when candidate Trump urged his followers to clock protesters? Perhaps it was that shutting down others’ free speech is bad — a sort of ironic lesson for the left. Then why didn’t they say so, rather than claiming that the content of the play justified their activity?

And why would this be a good strategy, given that the self-immolating hard left’s free speech shutdowns have backfired so dramatically that even Obama and Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have been forced to condemn them?

No, there were no principles here, other than tribalistic anti-left foolishness.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the order of the day for a few on the right. I’m old enough to remember when the pro-Trump right justified Trump’s behavior on the grounds that he had to build a wall and rescind Obama’s executive amnesty. Now only Ann Coulter has the guts to point out that Trump hasn’t done either — and that he just enshrined for all time Obama’s executive amnesty. I’m old enough to remember when the pro-Trump right assured conservatives that it would hold Trump to account if he were to fail to repeal Obamacare. Now it’s ignoring the fact that he called a watered-down Obamacare too “mean” and pushed for a broader funding regime.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Gender studies at Hogwarts J.K. Rowling, author of the bestselling Harry Potter series, just made headlines for an epic tweetstorm condemning misogyny. Referring to women politicians, she tweeted, “femaleness is not a design flaw.”

I love J.K. Rowling. I love her books. I’ve read the entire Harry Potter series cover to cover more times than I can count. And I believe J.K. Rowling is a feminist.

But her stance on overt misogyny makes me feel a need to call out the much more subtle, covert forms that our society must address if women are ever to be equal to men.

Rowling could’ve pushed this agenda forward by, for example, portraying the world of gender equality she wishes existed in reality in her books. With so many millions of children reading (and re-reading) her books each year, the world of Harry Potter plays no small role in teaching children about gender roles.

Yet in the world of Harry Potter, men and women aren’t equal at all. Men dominate, by far.

All of the political leaders are male, as are nearly all of the headmasters. So are all of the villains, with the notable exception of Bellatrix Lestrange — unless you want to count Narcissa Malfoy, who remains mostly in a wife role in her evildoing.

Harry’s role models and parental figures are nearly all

Another View Jill Richardson male too. The exceptions are his mother — a character who is never well developed, remaining idealized and practically saintlike throughout the series — and Molly Weasley, a shrill, overbearing nag.

The Weasleys, who become Harry’s adopted family, show readers a breadwinner-homemaker relationship in which the father works for the government while the mother stays home to clean, cook and care for the kids.

The father is lovable, quirky and not so strict with his children. The mother, Molly, runs the household and loves her children fiercely, but her approach to discipline portrays the worst stereotypes of women.

Hermione Granger, one of Harry’s two best friends, shows women in a positive light because she’s the top student at Hogwarts. But, like Molly Weasley, Hermione nags her friends to no end if she thinks they’re doing something wrong.

The women characters in the series are more likely to cry, whereas the men are more likely to lose control of their anger and resort to violence. And, when each wizarding school selects a

pupil to compete in a competition, three boys and one girl are chosen. The girl loses to the boys badly.

This isn’t to say that all women are portrayed negatively, or all men are portrayed positively.

But Rowling created a world in which most of the major characters are male and several major female characters conform to lazy or negative stereotypes of women.

Such gender stereotypes seep into our subconscious without our knowing. They don’t stand out, because they fit with the unequal treatment of gender we see in the real world.

We notice when Disney’s Moana is a princess who saves the day and doesn’t need a prince to complete her. But do we notice when the male lead in the movie, Maui, exhibits the worst traits of toxic masculinity? If Moana teaches little girls they can be heroes, what is Maui teaching little boys about becoming men?

Children learn about the world from the people around them, as well as from what they read in books or see in movies.

Changing the real world is hard, but changing it in books and movies is easy.

Authors like Rowling could help socialize the next generation to treat women equally to men with a stroke of the pen.

Gal pals can’t see positives in woman’s open marriage

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been in an extramarital relationship for 10 years. My husband knows, and so do my close friends.

I love this man dearly, but neither of us want it to be full-time. I have children at home and don’t want to disrupt anything. We meet once or twice a week. He touches base with me several times a day, and is attentive where my husband never was.

My husband isn’t bitter about the relationship anymore. However, my two closest friends continually say, “Well, why lie to yourself? You know you just say you don’t want things full-time so you don’t drive him away,” which isn’t true. We have a great thing — we travel, we have long discussions, and I can open up to him without any repercussions, bouncing ideas and thoughts off of each other without judgment or criticism.

But I really DON’T want this to be full-time. I enjoy it like I enjoy a good book and a glass of wine — not every day, but an indulgence and a pleasure. It also feels good to hear “I’m thinking of you” first thing every morning and the last thing every night. I am flattered.

It feels horrible that my two best friends can’t understand that I give of myself to my community and my family and need something that is just for me. I have reached the point where I don’t want to have these discussions with my friends anymore, so I avoid them. How can I get across to them that I’m fine and happy and content?

— JUST FOR ME DEAR JUST: You say you are happy and content, and your husband is OK with the arrangement. Don’t you think it’s time you stopped trying to “sell” the concept of open marriage to your women friends? By now it should be clear that they do not understand.

They probably never will. Most people don’t. Let it lie!

DEAR ABBY: I am a first-time mom of a toddler. I suffer from (and am being treated for) anxiety issues.

Abby, I am having trouble finding the balance on gun safety and awareness in other people’s homes — especially if my daughter will be visiting. I grew up in a household where my father hunted and had guns in the house.

However, he stored them safely in a locked cabinet and was the only one with access to the key. He also stored ammunition separately.

Where do I draw the line? Do I ask everyone whose house I’ll be going to whether or not they have guns? What are the appropriate questions? Do I ask where they are stored and who has access? What else should I ask?

Or should I mind my own business? I know the questions won’t be appreciated by everyone because it will seem like I am questioning their judgment.

— FIRST-TIME MOM IN NEW JERSEY DEAR FIRST-TIME MOM: If you start asking other parents whether they have guns in their homes and how they store them, your questions may be off-putting. Because you are concerned for your child’s safety, why not offer to have the kids visit your house for playdates? I’m sure many of the parents will be glad to have some free time, and it shouldn’t offend anyone.

Newly identified Civil War graves get tombstones SIOUX CITY — Formerly unmarked graves of Civil War veterans have received new white tombstones at a cemetery in western Iowa.

Twenty men buried in the Grand Army of the Republic section of the Floyd Cemetery in Sioux City were recently identified after city staff did some research.

The city’s cemeteries supervisor, Tim Tushla, said the new tombstones are good progress, but there are still empty spots in the cemetery that could be more unidentified soldiers.

ALGONA — Officials say one person has died and two others have been injured in a northern Iowa house fire.

The fire happened early Tuesday in the town of Algona. The Algona Fire Department says it received a 911 call around 2:30 a.m. reporting a house fire. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered heavy smoke coming from the house and located the fire in a bedroom. Authorities say the house was occupied by three women. Two were taken to an Algona hospital and the third was pronounced dead at the scene.

Spilled milk from tanker in Iowa causes fish kill worries FONTANELLE — Iowa officials say there could be reason to cry over the spilling of a lot of milk — at least some of which made its way into a southeastern Iowa river.

Court documents say investigators determined that Williams stolen nearly $1,100 from the man.

CR mayor to challenge Iowa governor in GOP primary CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — Ron Corbett, the Cedar Rapids mayor and former Iowa House speaker, said Tuesday he will challenge Gov. Kim Reynolds for the Republican nomination for governor, saying it’s time for new leadership in Iowa.

Corbett, 56, told supporters his campaign would outline plans to tackle some of the state’s most pressing challenges, from the tight state budget to its polluted waterways. He said he hoped to do for Iowa what he had accomplished in Cedar Rapids, where he’s widely credited with helping residents get back on their feet after a devastating 2008 flood and rebuilding major parts of the city.

“We have an opportunity for a new game plan,” the former college football player told supporters from an outdoor stage in the NewBo neighbor-

hood, which was among the hardest hit but now features new businesses. “It is today in this resilient city of Cedar Rapids that I stand proudly Corbett and announce I will be running for governor of the great state of Iowa.”

Corbett, who has served as mayor since 2009, introduced himself to statewide voters as a “conservative Republican with an independent streak.”

The announcement sets up a one-year campaign for the June 2018 GOP primary featuring Iowa’s first female governor and the popular mayor of the state’s second largest city. Several Democratic candidates are also running for

their party’s nomination in what they see as a winnable race. The campaign is expected to be closely watched nationally because Iowa has trended Republican in recent years.

Reynolds became governor last month when her political mentor, longtime Gov. Terry Branstad, resigned to become the U.S. ambassador to China.

She starts as the favorite in the primary, with strong backing from the party establishment, including its social conservative base and business interests. Reynolds has $1 million in her campaign fund and plans to double that by the end of the year. She has tapped acting Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg as her running mate and this week released a list of 1,050 supporters in all 99 counties.

But Corbett argued that it’s time to turn the page from the Branstad era. He said the

administration’s budgeting practices were creating “chaos and unpredictability” and that Branstad’s decision to privatize Medicaid two years ago was hurting the poor and disabled, who are facing cuts and delays in services.

He said he would push to simplify Iowa’s tax code by reducing rates while eliminating deductions, revitalize Iowa’s once top-ranked public schools by improving teacher pay and seek to implement a sales tax increase that was supported by voters in 2010 to fund environmental programs.

Iowa Democrats welcomed the news that Reynolds would face a serious challenger from within her party.

“This primary will leave the Republican nominee out of touch and weakened in 2018,” party chairman Derek Eadon said.

Party Chairman Jeff Kaufmann said the GOP has been “fortunate to have a Republican mayor in one of our large urban areas,” saying Corbett has served the state well.

He said he would be neutral but continue to strongly support Reynolds in her capacity as governor, adding that primaries “are not a bad thing.”

Corbett had traveled the state in recent months to promote his new memoir, “Beyond Promises,” which recounts stories from his career in the Legislature, as president of the Chamber of Commerce in Cedar Rapids and his two terms as mayor.

Corbett served in the Iowa House from 1987 until 1999.

He was House speaker during his final five years in office, helping push an income tax cut through the Republican-controlled Legislature.

Iowa Supreme Court issues statewide courthouse weapons ban

Former President George W. Bush to visit Iowa DES MOINES (AP) — Former President George W. Bush is scheduled to visit Iowa this fall to serve as the featured speaker at a fundraiser for a Des Moines charity.

Bush will speak Oct. 14 at a dinner for Trailhead International Builders, a Christian nonprofit group based in Ankeny that raises money to build church and community centers in developing nations.

The event will be held at the Iowa Events Center.

Tickets go on sale June 30.

Bush, a Republican, was president from 2001 to 2009.

DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court on Tuesday banned weapons in courthouses statewide, saying that it had a duty to promote safety in the courts.

The order signed by Chief Justice Mark Cady does not apply to peace officers but it prohibits other visitors from carrying weapons into courthouses in all 99 counties.

Currently 72 counties prohibit weapons in the courthouse

by county ordinance or order of the chief judge in the judicial district. The court says 27 counties have no known courthouse prohibition on weapons.

Ten counties have airport-like metal detectors at entrances.

Cady said current policies have failed to provide uniform protection across the state.

“This policy serves to establish a safety perimeter for each courthouse or justice center that allows for the efficient im-

plementation and enforcement of a weapons prohibition and is intended to prohibit the general public from entering any courthouse or justice center with a weapon,” Cady wrote.

The order requires the chief judge in each judicial district to work with local officials to carry out the order but does not specify any one solution.

Bill Peterson, the executive director of the Iowa State Association of Counties, said many

counties that ban weapons but have no formal inspection upon entering the courthouse.

In most cases public notices are posted declaring the building off limits for weapons and violators could face charges if caught.

“Sometimes emotions run high and emotions and weapons sometimes lead to consequences nobody ever thinks will happen but somehow do,” he said.

Unaffiliated Trump voters m a k e up the largest percentage of the electorate in the Midwest state that backed Trump in 2016, after lifting Democrat Barack Obama to the White House in party caucuses and

two straight elections.

Ahead of Trump’s visit to Iowa on Wednesday, several independents who voted for Trump expressed frustration with the president.

It’s not just his famous tweetstorms. It’s what they represent: a president distracted by investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and a court battle over his executive order barring refugees from majority-Muslim countries at the expense of tangible health care legislation

“He’s so sidetracked,” said Chris Hungerford, a 47-year-old home-business owner from Marshalltown.

“He gets off track on things he should just let go.”

And when he does spout off, he appears to lack constraint, said Scott Scherer, a 48-year-old chiropractor from Guttenberg, in northeast Iowa.

“Engage your brain before you engage your mouth,” Scherer advised, especially on matters pertaining to investigations.

“Shut up. Just shut up, and let the investigation run its course.”

Scherer said he would vote again for Trump, but pauses a long time before declining to answer when asked if he approves of the job the president is doing.

Cody Marsh isn’t sure about voting for Trump a second time.

The 32-year-old power-line technician from Tabor, in western Iowa, says, “It’s 50-50.”

“People don’t take him seriously,” he said.

Unaffiliated, or “no party” voters as they are known in Iowa, make up 36 percent of the electorate, compared with 33 percent who register Republican and 31 percent registered Democrat. Self-identified independents in Iowa voted for Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton by a 13-percentage-point margin last year, according to exit polls conducted for the Associated Press and television networks.

They helped him capture 51.8 percent of the overall vote against Clinton.

Field Day is a 24-hour period to test a radio club’s readiness for emergency communications.

Ham radio is the “goto” form of communication should an event cause a pow-

er outage that affects common forms of communications, such as phone or 911 services. Ham radio clubs have provided emergency communications during many of the disasters here in America as well as around the world.

The NARA is setup to provide communications separate from the 911 center and have tested communications with the state emergency operations center at Camp Dodge and with the National Weather Service in Johnston.

During bad weather situations, the NARA will regularly exchange status reports received from trained storm

spotters and then provide the reports to the weather service.

In past storms, NARA has provided the 911 dispatchers with flash flooding information, and information regarding downed trees, blocking of roadways or damaged power lines. If the status of conditions in a certain area is needed, one of our club members will go and check it out and report back. If for some reason the antennas or equipment at the Law Enforcement Center were to become inoperable, the Emergency Operations Center station now provides backup.

In past years, the radio club operated from Sunset or Woodland Parks on Field Day, and usually came in first in its class in Iowa and first or second in the Midwest Region for stations operating “in the field.”

One of the main activities of the club, besides emergency communications, is the annual Field Day operation.

Field Day is a national operation of about 2,300 radio clubs like the NARA. The clubs take to the field with generators, portable antennas and equipment, and then try to reach as many different stations as they can in a

24-hour period. Field Day is a chance for clubs across the nation to test their equipment and try to best each other in competition.

The Newton Amateur Radio Association of Newton Iowa is a non-profit organization that started as an outgrowth the of YMCA’s ham radio club established in 1937 and will be celebrating its 80year anniversary in 2017.

Northey: Needed rain also brought storm, hail damage to crops DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa Crop Progress and Condition report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“Many parts of the state saw some needed rain last week, unfortunately it was accompanied by some severe weather that caused some hail damage to crops.

hay, spraying herbicides, nitrogen side-dressing, and re-planting.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 5 percent very short, 22 percent short, 71 percent adequate and 2 percent surplus. Southwestern Iowa reported the highest levels of topsoil moisture with 96 percent adequate to surplus.

Subsoil moisture levels rated 3 percent very short, 15 percent short, 79 percent adequate and 3 percent surplus. Only the northeast and southwest corners of the State saw an increase in subsoil moisture. Many reports mentioned the need for timely rain.

CMB’s Fricke, PCM’s Seebeck headlines area all-HOIC soccer honors

MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe senior Courtney Bridges wears her emotions on her sleeves. She tends to celebrate each and every hit by raising her hands and pointing to her friends in the dugout.

Bridges isn’t trying to show anyone up. She’s just having a blast playing a sport she loves.

Bridges also knows her time as a Mustang is almost over. That gives her and a group of eight seniors much more urgency in their final season together.

“I know I have only so many at-bats left, so I try to make the most out of it,” Bridges said. “I don’t get to feel that too many more times.”

Bridges celebrated two doubles Tuesday night, senior Kayla Jennings took a no-hitter into the fifth inning and the Mustangs dominated Gilbert, 10-0, in five innings during Heart of Iowa Conference play.

Jennings struck out eight and allowed two infield singles in the top of the fifth inning. The

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s boys soccer team took a big step forward in its second season back as a high school program.

The Raiders, led by junior Carter Fricke, recorded six more wins than the previous season when they finished 8-11.

Fricke earned firstteam all-Heart of Iowa Conference honors reFricke cently after tallying 30 points this season.

Prairie City-Monroe junior Misha Seebeck was another area player who earned first-team honors after scoring a pair of goals for the Mustangs.

Fricke tallied 12 goals and six assists to lead CMB. Two of his teamSeebeck mates, junior Ryan Sebastiano and sophomore Josh Bruntz earned second-team honors along with PCM seniors Zac Read and Zac Van Waardhuizen.

Only two area girls landed on the all-HOIC teams. CMB’s Tatum Tremain and PCM’s Caitlyn Walters were both second-team selections.

Sam Hornish Jr. to drive for Team Penske at Iowa Speedway Newton Daily News Veteran stock car and openwheel driver Sam Hornish Jr. will return to Team Penske this summer to compete in select NASCAR Xfinity Series races for the team, driving the No. 22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang. Hornish is scheduled to compete in both upcoming series events at Iowa Speedway — Saturday’s American Ethanol E15 250 and the U.S. Cellular 250 on July 29.

He also is slated to drive the No. 22 in the Xfinity road course event at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Aug. 12.

Hornish is the defending champion of Saturday’s Xfinity race at Iowa Speedway.

On Father’s Day 2016, Hornish was a fill-in driver for Joe Gibbs Racing after an accident sidelined JGR driver Matt Tifft. Hornish dominated on the Newton track, driving the JGR No. 18 Toyota to Victory Lane.

He’ll be in a different car and on a different racing team for his two runs at Iowa

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Sam Hornish Jr. celebrated a year ago in Iowa Speedway’s Casey’s General Store Victory Lane after winning the 2016 American Ethanol E 15 250. Team Penske is looking for Hornish to drive into Victory Lane in its No. 22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang this season in Saturday’s race.

Speedway in 2017.

“I’m excited to return to Team Penske and get the opportunity to drive the No. 22

Discount Tire Ford Mustang in a few races this season,” Hornish said. “Team Penske continues to be one of the top

teams in the Xfinity Series and I’m looking forward to once again working with them.

Roger (Penske) and Team

Penske have been a huge part of my racing career, so coming back here feels like home.

I’m also really appreciative of everyone at Discount Tire for allowing me to take the reins of one of the most recognizable cars in the garage area.

“The new NASCAR eligibility rules also allow for drivers like me to compete in more races, so I hope to take full advantage of this opportunity.”

Hornish experienced immense success with Team Penske in both IndyCar and NASCAR during his previous stint with the team. After capturing two Verizon IndyCar Series Championships, Hornish joined Team Penske in 2004, racing for its famed open wheel team. Over the course of four IndyCar seasons with Team Penske, Hornish earned eight wins — including a victory in the 2006 Indianapolis 500 — and a series championship in 2006.

The team also may add additional races to Hornish’s schedule over the balance of the Xfinity season.

Iowa capital readies for Solheim Cup

WEST DES MOINES (AP) — LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan described the crowds for the upcoming Solheim Cup as something that might be found at a football game mixed with a soccer match and a mixed martial arts bout.

Des Moines will settle for it being one of the biggest golf tournaments the city has ever seen.

The Des Moines Golf and Country Club held media day Monday for the Solheim Cup, the biennial tournament between U.S. and European women’s golfers.

The event, to be held from Aug. 14-20, features four-ball, foursome and singles matches. It’s much like the Ryder Cup — and the enthusiasm fans show for the men’s event can often be mirrored during Solheim Cup play.

The Americans won in 2015, snapping a two-event winning streak for Europe.

“Golf is kind of dull,” U.S. captain Juli Inkster said. “I mean, it is. And everybody has to be quiet and hush hush. On the first tee (at the Solheim Cup), you have Europe (fans) singing songs, the United States (fans) singing songs. They’re very polite when you go to hit a shot. But beforehand, there’s a lot

Still going strong at 41, Johnson agrees to 3-year extension

of cheering.”

While overall interest in the Solheim Cup isn’t quite as high the Ryder Cup, landing the event was a big deal for Des Moines, the Iowa capital that has recently started to attract bigger events.

The PGA Tour Champions series has hosted a tournament in Des Moines for nearly 20 years, and it’s routinely among the more well-att e n d e d events of the season. The state also has hosted annual NASCAR and IndyCar races at Iowa Speedway.

But the biggest coup was landing the NCAA men’s basketball tournament for the first time in 2016, which went so well that the NCAA awarded the city with first- and second-round games again in 2019.

The Solheim Cup will be the first LPGA sanctioned event in Iowa since 1966 and the first in the state capital since 1956, when the Western Open was held in Des Moines.

But the LPGA said that, so far, 71 percent of the tickets sold for the event have been for fans outside of Iowa.

Though those numbers highlight the international appeal of the Solheim Cup, the LPGA clearly wants to see more locals commit to the tournament. Annika Sorenstam will serve as Europe’s captain.

Warren Sapp to donate brain for medical research MIAMI (AP) — Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp is donating his brain for medical research.

Sapp announced on social media Tuesday that his brain will go to the Concussion Legacy Foundation after his death.

Saint Ansgar hosts Aplington-Parkersburg in a first-round game on July 3 in the other half of the 2A Region 3 bracket.

The winner moves on to face 2A No. 15 BCLUW at 7 p.m. July 5 in Conrad. BCLUW will host a semifinal game at 7 p.m.

July 7. The other quarterfinal game has West Fork playing at South Hamilton on July 5.

The 2A Region 3 championship game will be played at 7 p.m. on July 10 at the highest remaining seeded team.

BROOKLYN, Mich.

(AP) — Fresh off another championship — and with three more victories already this season — Jimmie Johnson is showing no signs of slowing Johnson down.

Now, he’s ready for at least three more years of racing. Beyond that, Johnson is leaving his options open.

Johnson agreed to a three-year contract extension with Hendrick Motorsports through 2020. Hendrick announced the deal with the seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion recently.

“I’ve said it before and continued to say that when the fire does go out, I will step down,” said Johnson, who is preparing for this weekend’s race at Michigan International Speedway.

“I don’t have any framework now on a timeline.

“I just know that I’ve got three more years of trying to go out there and win championships and win races. I’m as hungry as I’ve ever been and as focused and dedicated on doing my job.”

Hendrick already lost Jeff Gordon, who announced his retirement two years ago, and now Dale Earnhardt Jr. is in his final season. Johnson, however, won the title last year at age 41 and has no interest in stepping aside.

Maybe this will be his final contract, maybe it won’t.

“I think in all fairness to the questions and to myself, any contract I

sign right now with my age is probably going to raise questions,” Johnson said. “I get it, but I don’t have a vision of if it’s three, if it’s five, if it’s seven, I don’t know. I do know I’m having a great time and I don’t want to stop right now.”

Hendrick also announced that Lowe’s has signed an agreement to continue its primary sponsorship of Johnson’s No. 48 Chevrolet through next year.

Lowe’s has been Johnson’s primary sponsor for each of his 557 career Cup starts.

“Jimmie is one of the best to ever drive,” owner Rick Hendrick said in a statement. “We’re so fortunate to have him as part of our organization, and I feel even luckier to call him a friend. He’s a great champion, a terrific advocate for Lowe’s and a true ambassador for NASCAR.” Johnson tied a record with his seventh Cup Series title, and he leads all drivers with three victories in 2017. He’s tied for sixth on the career list with 83 wins — one behind Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip and 10 behind Gordon.

“I’ve never honestly been driven by stats and I’ve said it so many times, but it’s hard to ignore where I sit on the wins list and not let my competitive spirit kick in and want more,” Johnson said.

“Certainly, would love to climb further up the ladder there. Eight championships, I would love to stand alone at that.”

Johnson said he and Hendrick have had an informal agreement: He’ll always have a spot at Hendrick and he won’t go anywhere else.

Since ancient times the summer solstice has been celebrated as a promise of hope. Between now and the new moon on the 23rd, get focused on your dearest wishes. It’s a time for changing habits. Recent science shows it takes far longer than 21 days to establish a habit, so if you failed before, prepare to give it a longer go this time around.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 21). To be automatically liked in a new circle is an exciting perk to this solar return.

Some of it has to do with a fresh attitude and an uncanny ability to connect quickly with what matters to others. In a lot of ways you’ll be lighter

and brighter this year. There’s a breakthrough with a project close to your heart in December. Aries and Virgo adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 30, 28, 17, 40 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some of the things you believed when you were five years old still hold true today.

Not all. Don’t worry; you’re trending toward greater accuracy. This is a perfect time for a review. What do you know to be true now?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

If you adopted the goals of your closest and most similar friend, they wouldn’t fit you in the least. Goals have to be spe-

cific to you to be meaningful.

There’s no hollower victory than the attainment of other people’s goals.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The melding of your intellect with the physical world makes your reality. Today’s work is about the idea behind it, and the idea is about the work. If you can’t get behind the idea, don’t get behind the work.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

What you’re conscious of knowing is just a sliver of what you really know. Your intelligence goes far beyond the factual. Your resourcefulness will unfold and flourish as you trust your feelings about things.

of proportion. The one who can blow out the frame of the picture and see the world as much, much bigger and wider than his own problems has a much easier time seeing what’s funny about it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Don’t be too quick to call something a waste of time just because it doesn’t fit into any classic category. For today, assume that if you (or your kin, colleagues or loved ones) are drawn to it, there’s something worthy there.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may now be able to look back and see where the progress stopped and precisely what stopped it. It was fear. If you can’t see the specific nature of this fear, stop relying on your

logic for the answer. Ask your gut.

five senses and also with your heart.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

If you’re worried that you won’t be able to moderate a certain behavior of yours, it may be easier for you to abstain entirely. This may require you to go out of your way to avoid a scene rife with triggers.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). To make more deliberate use of your time you’ll have to guard it from robbers. It may feel mean to take yourself from those accustomed to demanding you, but your loved ones don’t need you nearly as much as they want you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What you want to do, you will do. If only part of you wants to do it -- well, you’ve got your work cut out for you.

You can be the very hardest person to negotiate with!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The more you know, the less you sense. Set assumptions aside. Push your feelings into the situation. Try to contact this with each of your

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Don’t be quick to label your work, and by no means should you take what other people say about it to heart. What looks like a mess can be the foundation of success. Keep going.

The most important part of it now is consistency.

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

OSKALOOSA — Five members of the Newton Trap Team competed in Saturday’s Iowa State Sporting Clays Championship. It was a 150-bird shooting course.

Brian Bleakney, Logan Zaabel and Nathan Tremel combined for Newton’s only full squad score in the high school competition. The Cardinal trio had a score of 308 to place 23rd out of 33 squads.

Evan Cook had Newton’s highest score in the senior men’s division. He hit 114

targets to finish 50th among 84 shooters.

Brooke Gifford shot a score of 114 to place eighth out of 19 shooters in the senior women’s division. She was three birds shy of a medal and 12 birds behind the first-place shooter.

“There are several teams which shoot a lot more sporting clays than we do,” Newton coach Paul Klein said. “I’m really happy with the improvement we’ve had in our scores over the season.”

Mustangs Continued from Page 1B her only other blemishes were a walk in the first inning and a hit by pitch in the fourth.

“Her rise ball was working and her curve ball was jumping,” PCM coach Scott Bridges said. “Courtney (Bridges) told us right away that her curve ball would be a go-to pitch. We just tried to keep them off balance as much as we could.”

PCM (12-9 overall, 10-3 in the HOIC) is hitting .355 at the plate this season. The Mustangs tallied eight more hits against the Tigers.

The Mustangs led 3-0 after one inning, 4-0 after two and then ended the game early with a four-run third and a two-run fourth.

In the first, senior Jayci Vos reached on a swinging bunt single and then she stole second. Jennings drove in Vos with an RBI double and then junior Madison Foster singled to put runners on the corners.

Foster stole second and then Jennings scored on the throw down. Foster eventually scored on a Gilbert error.

The Mustangs made it 4-0

in the second when Gilbert committed two errors.

The home team extended the lead to 8-0 in the third inning. Courtney Bridges led off the frame with a double but was thrown out at home when Jennings reached on a fielder’s choice.

Jennings came across to score when Foster drilled an RBI triple to center field.

“With me it’s all about confidence, and the coaches have confidence in me so that is helping,” said Foster, who finished with two hits, two runs and an RBI. “We had a lot of fun tonight, and when we have fun we tend to play better.”

Senior Katie Vande Wall kept the inning going when she drew a one-out walk. Senior Brooke Nicholson singled after that before sophomore Anna Shaver had an RBI groundout and senior Jaiden Rogers struck an RBI single to make it 8-0.

“They responded well tonight,” Coach Bridges said one day after the Mustangs lost 7-3 to Class 2A No. 5 CMB. “I liked our energy the last couple of nights. The kind of energy we have played with the last few nights is the energy we’ll need the rest of the

season as playoffs near.”

In the fourth, Vos opened the frame with a walk. Bridges brought her around with her second double of the game. Bridges’ courtesy runner, freshman Regan Freland, scored the 10th run of the game after Jennings walked and got caught in a rundown between first and second base.

Bridges’ two hits helped raise her batting average to a career-best .352.

“We got back in the groove tonight.” Courtney Bridges said. “I have been working on looking the ball in more lately and it’s starting to show in the games.”

Coach Bridges moved a few players around in the lineup. Foster batted seventh against CMB on Monday but hit in the No. 6 hole Wednesday.

The changes, which also included moving Vande Wall, Shaver and Nicholson down a few spots in the order, were not made because of what players weren’t doing, according to Coach Bridges.

The first-year Mustang coach is trying to figure out where everyone fits best as the team gets closer to the postseason.

History will say the Boston Celtics passed on the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NBA draft, not only trading it away but doing so in a deal with one of the team’s fiercest rivals.

Danny Ainge isn’t worried.

Philadelphia and Boston completed their trade of draft picks on Monday, the 76ers acquiring the No. 1 pick from the Celtics and netting the chance to draft Washington guard Markelle Fultz. The Celtics moved down two spots to No. 3 and picked up another firstround selection in either 2018 or 2019 — with Ainge saying the deal came at no cost to Boston whatsoever.

“We’re getting the player we want. They’re getting the player they want,” said Ainge, the Celtics’ president of basketball operations. “And we’re getting an additional player that we want in next year’s draft or the year after. It’s a good deal for both teams.”

The player Philadelphia wants is clear: The 76ers wouldn’t say it Monday, but they’re going to take Fultz barring something cataclysmic happening before Thursday.

“We felt like the move “After you get so many at-bats, you can start looking at some data to see what is working and what is not,” Coach Bridges said.

“It’s that time of year when we need to figure out what our best lineup is. We are getting close.”

Vos had one hit, one walk and scored twice. She is now batting a team-best .526 and she’s scored a team-high 30 runs.

Jennings doubled, walked, scored twice and drove in a run. She is currently batting .420.

Jennings was even better in the circle against the Tigers (4-17, 1-12). She improved to 9-6 in the circle, her earned run average is now 1.28 and she has 108 strikeouts in 104 innings.

Gilbert’s only threat came in the fifth when Molly Laws and Bella Saad both reached on infield singles. it was the only inning Gilbert got beyond first base.

The Mustangs play Class 3A No. 10 West Marshall at 7 p.m. Thursday in State Center. The Trojans are 21-2.

from 3 to 1 was worth the cost of a first-round pick in the future,” 76ers president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo said.

Next up will be the Los Angeles Lakers, expected to take UCLA guard Lonzo Ball.

And then come the Celtics, starting the real intrigue. If Ainge is to be believed, even they don’t know who they will take at No. 3 — but he insisted that whichever choice they make there would have been the choice they made at No. 1 if this deal hadn’t gone down. The Celtics had Duke’s Jayson Tatum in for a workout on Monday and hope to have Kansas’ Josh Jackson in on Tuesday.

“I think they’re both terrific players,” Ainge said.

“I’ll say that. ... I like both of those kids. I think they’re both terrific talents.”

So the way he looks at it, the deal is a win-win.

For now, Boston has seven first-round picks in the next three years.

And that means the Celtics could be gearing up for more moves soon.

“I am incredibly excited that we’ve acquired the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday’s NBA draft,” 76ers managing general partner Josh Harris said.

Cardinals, Cubs win; Royals lose PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Yadier Molina and Tommy Pham both homered in a seven-run 11th inning to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 8-1, on Tuesday.

Stephen Piscotty had a tworun double off Casey Fien after Edubray Ramos (0-5) started the inning with two walks.

Molina and Pham followed with homers as the Cardinals had their biggest output of the season in an inning.

Fien gave up both homers and then a single to Chad Huffman and double to Carpenter before the pitcher was removed. Philadelphia has now lost 12 of its last 13 games.

Kevin Siegrist (1-1) pitched one inning in relief to earn the win.

Red Sox 8, Royals 3 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chris Sale shut down the Royals while pitching into the ninth inning, and a rag-tag bunch of Red Sox filling in for injured starters pounded their way to a victory that moved them into first place in the AL East.

Sale (9-3) gave up a homer to Mike Moustakas in the second and a two-run shot to Jorge Bonifacio in the ninth before departing two outs shy of his second consecutive complete game. He allowed four hits and fanned 10, pushing his major league-leading strikeout total to 146 this season.

More importantly, he got a win after going the distance in a 1-0 loss to Philadelphia last week.

Xander Bogaerts and Sandy Leon each drove in a pair of runs for Boston, which got plenty of production from a lineup missing Pablo Sandoval, Dustin Pedroia and Mitch Moreland to various injuries.

Cubs 4, Padres 0 CHICAGO — Anthony Rizzo hit another leadoff home run to help Mike Montgomery get his first win of the season in the Cubs’ victory over the Padres.

Rookie Ian Happ also homered for the Cubs.

Montgomery (1-3) allowed three hits and two walks in six innings, striking out four.
