Justin Jagler/Daily News A sign at the Jasper County Courthouse indicating no weapons are allowed on the property is posted on an entrance door. Jasper County does not permit firearms on any county property.

Iowa Supreme Court bans weapons in court-controlled areas statewide Jasper County’s firearms ban includes all county property

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News The Iowa Supreme Court issued an order Tuesday that bans weapons from all state courtrooms, court-controlled spaces and public areas occupied by the court system.

In Jasper County, there was already a strict weapons policy in place before Tuesday’s order from Chief Justice Mark Cady.

With an exception for law enforcement officers, no firearms are permitted on any county property.

Cady cited article V, section 4 of the Iowa Constitution in the order, which grants the state Supreme Court power to exercise supervisory and ad-

ministrative control over Iowa’s district courts.

“A statewide policy is needed to promote safety in all courtrooms and other court-controlled areas,” the order reads.

The Supreme Court also quoted a 1911 edition of the Newton Daily News, which describes courthouses as the “silent witness to the adjudication of the rights and the correction of wrongs.” The statewide order addresses an increasing concern over the security of Iowa’s courthouses, according to Cady.

Jasper County’s weapons policy, which was passed by the board of supervisors several years ago, came from the court’s suggestion that more

security was necessary, said Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott.

In addition to barring weapons from the courthouse, the county has a full-time law enforcement officer at the courthouse from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

That officer patrols the entire courthouse but spends the majority of his time on the court floor, Parrott said.

The Supreme Court is calling for the chief judge of each judicial district to work with county and city officials, as well as courthouse and public building security committees, to develop additional policies and procedures necessary to implement the supervisory order.

Jasper County hasn’t had a meeting yet but will address the issue soon, Parrott said.

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune MINGO —When the 10 members of the Mingo Days planning committee met in February to begin piecing together the 2017 town festival, the group decided to pull the town of 302 out of the “Totally Awesome 80s” and into Mardi Gras.

Mingo Days committee member Theresa Maher said there is a lot new to look forward to Thursday through Sunday at Mingo Days 2017: “Mardi Gras in Mingo.”

Part of the new is a shift to a Friday night parade and supper and the addition of adult games. Saturday, Colfax Mexican restaurant Cocina Hernandez will be making its Mingo debut serving food all day, including supper, from its new taco truck.

After 26 years of business on Newton’s town square, Beckman Gallery will be closing Saturday.

Custom framing, unique home decor, paintings and jewelry are among the many items Beckman the gallery is known for.

After careful consideration, store owner Jim Beckman said he will be wrapping up his business in Newton and will be focusing on his larger store that is located in Grinnell.

Beckman moved to Newton from Perry in the early 1990s and opened the shop on the square after taking ownership from the Fisher family.

Beckman said when he bought the store from Bob and Doris Fisher the community welcomed him with open arms.

“A postman approached me the second or third Friday I was here, looked at me and jokingly said ‘you don’t have red and black on today, you won’t last long in this town,’” Beckman said. “Back in those days you always wore red and black.”

Though the store has changed throughout the years, the friendliness of the owner and his dedication to the community has been very apparent.

Beckman Gallery has been a part of the square’s traditions by participating in the

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Thursday, June 22, the 173rd day of 2017. There are 192 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 22, 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, more popularly known as the “GI Bill of Rights.”

On this date: In 1611, English explorer Henry Hudson, his son and several other people were set adrift in present-day Hudson Bay by mutineers aboard the Discovery.

In 1870, the United States Department of Justice was created.

In 1940, during World War II, Adolf Hitler gained a stunning victory as France was forced to sign an armistice eight days after German forces overran Paris.

In 1941, Nazi Germany launched Operation Barbarossa, a massive invasion of the Soviet Union.

In 1945, the World War II battle for Okinawa ended with an Allied victory.

In 1977, John N. Mitchell became the first former U.S. Attorney General to go to prison as he began serving a sentence for his role in the Watergate cover-up. (He was released 19 months later.)

In 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court, in R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul, unanimously ruled that “hate crime” laws that banned cross burning and similar expressions of racial bias violated free-speech rights.

In 1997, world leaders in Denver concluded the historic Summit of Eight that included Russia’s first-ever full participation. Dr. Nancy W. Dickey was named the first female president of the American Medical Association.

Ten years ago: Atlantis and its seven astronauts returned to Earth safely, ending a two-week mission to deliver an addition to the international space station and bringing home crew member Sunita “Suni” Williams, who set a then-record for longest single spaceflight by a woman at 195 days.

Five years ago: Ex-Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was convicted by a jury in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, on 45 counts of sexually assaulting 10 boys over 15 years. (Sandusky is appealing a 30- to 60-year state prison sentence.) Monsignor William Lynn, a Roman Catholic church official in Philadelphia, was convicted of child endangerment but acquitted of conspiracy in a groundbreaking clergy-abuse trial, becoming the first U.S. church official convicted of a crime for mishandling abuse claims.

One year ago: Rebellious Democrats launched a 25-hour round-the-clock sitin on the House floor to demand votes on gun-control bills, forcing exasperated Republicans to recess while cutting off cameras showing the protest.

Ohio woman reunited with lost tortoise after two-week search CLEVELAND (AP) — A wayward tortoise’s surprising trek around Ohio has ended happily for its owner, whose two-week search, in a twist of fate, might have saved her sister’s life.

Otis the California desert tortoise managed to push open a sliding glass door and escape from Kathie Heisinger’s home in Sebring in Mahoning County on May 30.

Heisinger created flyers offering a $200 reward that was quickly matched by the Sebring Volunteer Fire Department, prompting her to make the reward $500 total. Village residents soon joined Heisinger in her search around Sebring.

“There are a lot of good people in the world,” Heisinger said.

SINGAPORE (AP) — A “Downton Abbey” movie is in the works, with production likely to begin in 2018, an NBCUniversal executive said Wednesday.

Michael Edelstein, president at NBCUniversal International Studios, said it hopes to assemble 20 cast members from the popular TV series.

“There’s a movie in the works. It’s been in the works for some time,” Edelstein said in Singapore at a red-carpet event for “Downton Abbey: The Exhibition,” which features costumes, locations and never-before-seen footage from the TV show.

The exhibition opened in the city-state last week and ends July 31.

“We are working on getting the script right and then we’ve got to figure out how to get the (cast) together. Because as you know, people go on and do other things.

Cast members at the exhibition said they were not aware of the movie. “Oh, well, you’ve got confirmation before us.

We have no idea if that’s happening,” said Sophie McShera, who played assistant cook Daisy Mason.

“But we would all love to be part of the film if it was

“Downton Abbey,” which concluded in 2015, portrays the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family in England and their servants amid the backdrop of such historical events as the sinking of the Titanic and World War I. It has become one of the most popular TV shows in the world, airing in at least 150 countries.

Fans lined the red carpet at Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands on Wednesday to catch a glimpse of the stars. Student Jessica Nobleza, 15, held up a sign that read, “You helped us pass history.”

“When I got into the show, it was kind of exam period. And season one and two involves World War I, and how it affected the whole era,” she explained.

The “Downton Abbey” exhibition is to travel to the U.S. and Australia at a later date.

cooperation with Project AWAKE, Alliant Energy gave $30,000 toward the project which contributes to energy savings at the popular attraction.

Additional tools used to educate citizens were weatherization drives in the fall, electronic recycling days and free home energy evaluations.

While the first two years of the program are complete, the city is currently looking at a way to keep the progress going in the future. City administrator Matt Muckler said he is currently in talks with Alliant Energy and Black Hills Energy.

“They have proposed a community energy manager position that would be similar to what the sustainability coordinator did,” Muckler said. “It would have less of a structure around it. Hometown Rewards was very structured in what they provided.”

He said the goal is to keep the position grant funded. The initial contribution for the two-year program from the companies was $100,000.

“There have been a lot of benefits with the program, they have done great work,” Muckler said. “We certainly appreciate the contributions that have come out of the program.”

According to Cady’s order, 72 counties already prohibit weapons in courtrooms, and 44 counties prohibit weapons in the entirety of the courthouse. Eleven counties — Jasper County included — prohibit weapons in all county buildings.

These county policies were implemented to make Iowa’s courtrooms safer, Cady said, but they have failed to provide uniform protection across the state and throughout every courthouse.

“The inconsistent policies and gaps in protection must be corrected for our unified court system to uniformly protect all Iowans,” Cady said.

Fish of legend

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

D

iary of a fisherwoman take five.

Most people should have at least heard of the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. If you haven’t, I suggest you Google it. It’s a bit like people who hunt for Bigfoot, Sasquatch, the Yeti or whatever you prefer to call the mythical beasts.

I’m no expert on the subject, but the gist is the Legend of Nessie began in the Scottish Highlands around 555 A.D. when a strange object/creature was spotted in the River Ness aka Loch Ness. It wouldn’t be until the 1930s until the term “monster” was applied to the creature. There is a grainy photograph that supposedly proves its existence.

Whether you believe the legend of the monster is true or think it’s a large,

strange shaped smudge on the camera film is irrelevant. The only reason I’m bringing it up here is my fiancé, Tim, and I encountered our own “monster” of sorts on our last few visits to the lake.

The first sighting was when were trolling around the lake in Tim’s boat as my friend, Kate, snapped a few of our engagement photos. We have the picture of the exact moment Tim spotted the giant fins sticking out of the water.

I could tell from Tim’s expression he would have loved nothing more than to cast out a line and try to reel in the large fish, but we were there for pictures not fishing. To top it off, Kate completely freaked out, totally unsettled by the large fish that seemed to be resting at the surface. She was happy

when the thing finally registered our presence and swam away, making a large splash in the process.

On our next fishing excursion to the lake, Tim and I were ready to do some good bass fishing. The June temperatures were in the upper 80s and 90s, forcing us to rise early to get to the lake while the temps were cool and the fish were biting. The lack of sleep was worth it as we pulled in 15 fish total, seven for me and eight for Tim. As successful a day as it was out on the boat, the fishing was overshadowed by the reappearance of our largefinned friend. It made an appearance first thing as we got the boat in the water. It was again resting at the surface, the dorsal and tail fins were the only things visible.

Tim slowly and quietly steered the boat to its location and was just about to cast his line when the big fish splashed away. After mentioning how much he would love to catch it, Tim steered the boat around the lake; and we enjoyed

the peaceful morning fishing.

As we made our way back toward the boat dock, we spotted the big fish again in a different spot. Tim again approached it very slowly, and this time he was able to get his line in the water.

I tried my luck too; however, the lure splashed too close and scared it away.

I could see the giant thing swim away.

It was huge!

The fish made one final appearance.

Tim had the perfect cast and had it on the line briefly. However, it let go before Tim could reel it into the boat. We saw it swim under some tree branches but didn’t spot it at the surface again.

After we returned from the lake, we showed Tim’s dad the picture I took of it while it was resting at the surface.

After asking what he was looking at, he immediately said, “that’s no fish, it’s the Loch Ness Monster.” You heard it here first. Ol’ Nessie has made the trip from Scotland to Iowa.

Hot art show This has happened so many times, I’m not even surprised anymore. I was loading my garden-art sculptures onto the trailer to take them to an art festival in Keokuk. Someone drove by and saw me loading up and decided it might be their last chance to get that special piece of art they’d been wanting for their father for Father’s Day. What the heck? It makes less for me to haul, except I usually have to dig it off the bottom of the pile. That’s life in the art world.

It was a hot day. Ginnie and I had the air conditioner going full blast in my little six-cylinder pickup, pulling that trailer full of junk, I mean art.

I noticed the cool air from the air conditioner turning warm. I looked at the heat gauge on the truck and it was pegged. Uh, oh. I headed for the nearest convenience store.

By the time I got stopped steam was rolling out from under the hood, coolant was gushing out from under the truck, and the trailer I was pulling was greasy wet. Double uh, oh. As I was trying to figure out what to do on a blistering hot day, I noticed that a guy who was mowing close by, kept eyeing my trailer. Sure enough, he pulled over and wanted to buy three geese. Yep. I told Ginnie, who was in the convenience store cooling her heels, and we just shook our heads at the irony of it all. Everything happens for a reason.

After letting the truck cool down some, adding water, and getting bad advice from a service station, we proceeded on. We hadn’t gone far when the engine began to make a clicking noise. Triple uh, oh. We pulled over and called a wrecker.

But what to do with the trailer full of art, I mean junk? I called in some markers and was able to borrow a truck, with a much bigger V-8 engine, for the weekend. We rescued the trailer and headed to the art festival a day late, but not a dollar short. Yet. Had I blown an engine? Probably. Mighty expensive weekend. But, hey, we were all safe and sound and fit to fight another day.

Along with the art, my book sales were steady.

Ginnie got to sit in air-conditioned comfort, listen to music and handle the photography and book sales. I sat out in the heat and sweltered.

The next day, Sunday, we relocated to Wever for a garden-art tour, like gypsies moving from one town to another, pulling a wagon full of pots and pans.

A feature of the residence we were stationed at was that it had a genuine train-caboose cabin, complete with a basement. I kid you not. Sometimes in the midst of everything, you just have to sit back and look around.

Loading up to go home, once again, was my busiest time for sales. No sooner did I have a sculpture on the trailer, but someone wanted it. I’ve noticed this human characteristic before, people love to poke through piles. Myself included.

When the weekend of heat and art was over, Ginnie and I celebrated with soft-serve ice cream and a bucket of KFC. I returned the borrowed truck to its owner and he said, “Shoot, Curt. I’ve been wanting to get a new truck, why don’t you buy my Silverado.

You need a bigger truck anyway if you’re going to be pulling a trailer full of metal.” (Notice he didn’t say “junk.”)

So, I did. It was “Tuesday, Good-News Day.” My mechanic called. The engine on my little pickup wasn’t blown, it had a split radiator. Thank you, God. My 2000 Chevy S10, 4WD is for sale. It has a brand new radiator and knows where to stop in emergencies. My chicks made it through the heat just fine, and we’re never leaving home again.

We can still shutdown the pipeline Toxic crude oil has been flowing through the Dakota Access Pipeline since June 1, but that still doesn’t mean that the pipeline is a done deal.

On top of two lawsuits pending against the Iowa Utilities Board — one from nine brave landowners and one from the Iowa Chapter of the Sierra Club — a federal judge recent-

ly found that the Army Corps of Engineers did not adequately consider the impacts of an oil spill on the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s fishing rights, hunting rights or issues of environmental justice when it issued the permits needed to complete the project. Consequently, the Sierra Club has also petitioned the IUB to revoke the DAPL permit, which had initially been granted on the basis of the Army Corps’ go-ahead.

For Jasper County, this means that — although incredible damage has already been

done to a great deal of farmland — we could still see the end to the threat that the pipeline poses to our soil and waters in the case of a leak. Let’s let the IUB know that we don’t want a pipeline without a legitimate permit to continue to pump up to 500,000 barrels of toxic crude per day through our county.

Go to iub.iowa.gov and search for Docket HLP-20140001 to submit your comments.

We can still shut this thing down.

Trump’s Twitter bombs Donald Trump missed his opportunity to become a General Patton-style military commander and glorious war hero back in the Vietnam era. He surely would’ve been the greatest in history, to hear him tell it.

But, alas, he says some unspecified foot problem (or something or other) kept him from the privilege of actually getting to go fight in that war. Bad luck, I’m sure. But now that The Donald is the commander-in-chief for real, his inner warrior has been given a second chance to bloom, and this time he’s fully enlisted.

In recent weeks, President Trump has (1) escalated a running war of words against Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, (2) bombed the European

Another View Jim Hightower leaders of NATO with explosive charges that they’re unworthy of his support, (3) launched a fierce new barrage of tough rhetoric in his extralegal offensive to ban all travel to the U.S. by anyone from six Muslim nations and (4) opened an entirely new battlefront by attacking the mayor of London with one of his Twitter missiles.

In last year’s presidential campaign, Trump declared with typical modesty that “No one is bigger or better at the military than I am.”

Well, I’m certainly no expert on war, but if a president is going to pick a mess of foreign fights, wouldn’t it be better, strategically speaking, to pick on actual enemies, rather than on America’s allies? After all, there might come a time when we need friends to stand with us.

In a twist of historic irony, it looks like Boss Trump and his military team might need those European allies sooner than they figured. His national security chief and the Pentagon are pushing a new strategy for America’s long, horribly messy war in Afghanistan — but it depends on our NATO allies sending some of their troops into the fight.

Oops, how awkward for the impetuous tweeter-in-chief.

New fish structure maps on DNR website Sixty new maps with fish structure locations for lakes across the state have been added to the DNR website at iowadnr.gov/Fishing/Fishing-Maps.

Symbols on each map mark fish structures such as cedar trees, rock piles,

rock fields and pea gravel beds that have been strategically placed to attract fish for anglers. Fish hide in these structures throughout the year.

Anglers can catch multiple species from one structure. “Bluegills may be spawning on top

of a rock reef in pea gravel beds, while groups of crappies are suspended on the sides of the rock reef near large boulders,” said Lewis Bruce, fisheries technician for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

tion about a specific structure such as GPS coordinates on the interactive Fishing Atlas or a downloadable GPX fish structure file on the Fishing Maps webpage.

Girlfriend deserves to know about man’s abusive past DEAR ABBY: My brother is in a long-term relationship. Throughout my teenage years, he raped me every chance he got. The emotional and physical abuse has left my life broken. Should I tell his girlfriend about it? I did confront him about it, but he just denied it. Wouldn’t she want to know? — SURVIVOR IN FLORIDA DEAR SURVIVOR: Yes, you should tell his girlfriend about it!

You should also tell every one of your relatives. Where were your parents when this was going on?

While it may be too late for the police to haul your brother off to prison, you should absolutely talk to a rape crisis counselor about what he did to you. To locate a resource near you, contact R.A.I.N.N. (rainn.org), the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. It may be able to help you put your life in order. Its toll-free phone number is 800-656-4673.

DEAR ABBY: Would you please remind your readers about proper service dog etiquette? My service dog has given me a new lease on life, but going out in public with him can be a huge source of anxiety. If your readers see a service dog in public, they should remember: Don’t pet the dog, or talk to it, and don’t allow children to “rush” the dog. This distracts the service dog from its important job and could put a handler in danger.

Please don’t question whether service dogs are or should be “allowed” somewhere. Handlers need to shop, take public transport and go to restaurants just like everyone else.

Do not ask invasive personal questions about the handler’s health or abilities. I’m sure you

wouldn’t want a stranger prying into your own medical history.

And please don’t gush about how “lucky” someone is to have a service dog or how you wish you could have your pet with you. Try mentally replacing the word “dog” with “wheelchair” or “oxygen tank” before you speak. Service dogs are not pets. For a lot of people they are lifelines.

Many of us are happy to speak with you about our dogs or answer questions, but please remember we are also PEOPLE with individual comfort levels and limits, and we just want to enjoy public spaces like everyone else. — NEW LEASE ON LIFE DEAR NEW LEASE: Thank you for giving me the chance to remind readers about service dog etiquette. Many of us are animal lovers who have a hard time resisting the impulse to reach out when we see service dogs. It’s done with the best of intentions, while forgetting that a dog wearing a vest may be working. I say “may” because, unfortunately, service vests that allow animals to be present in markets and restaurants can be ordered online by people with no disability at all.

In Iowa, the president channels his inner candidate Trump

CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — Struggling to advance his agenda in Washington, President Donald Trump traveled to the Midwest for a raucous rally with his loyal supporters — the kind of event he relished before winning the White House.

Trump touched down Wednesday evening in rainy Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and headed to a local community college, where he got a look at agriculture technology innovations before leading a campaign-style rally.

He reveled in Georgia Republican Karen Handel’s congressional victory in an election viewed as an early referendum on his presidency.

“We’re 5-0 in special elections,” Trump said in front of a boisterous crowd that packed a downtown arena. “The truth is, people love us ... they haven’t figured it out yet.”

He also applauded Republican Ralph Norman, who notched a slimmer-than-expected win in a special election to fill the South Carolina congressional seat vacated by Mick Mulvaney, his budget director, and mocked Handel’s challenger, Jon Ossoff, saying the Democrats “spent $30 million on this kid who

forgot to live in the district.”

Trump, no stranger to victory laps, turned his visit to a battleground state he captured in November into a celebration of his resilience despite the cloud of investigations that has enveloped his administration and sent his poll numbers tumbling.

With the appearance in Cedar Rapids, he has held five rallies in the first five months in office.

The event underscores Trump’s comfort in a campaign setting.

He laughed off the occasional heckler, repeated riffs from last year’s rallies and appeared far

4 Iowa cities targeted because of fireworks restrictions DES MOINES (AP) — A Nebraska company wants a federal court to stop four Iowa cities from restricting fireworks sales.

Bellino Fireworks Inc., which is based in Papillion, Neb., filed a complaint against Ankeny, Boone, Johnston and Pleasant Hill. Bellino wants a permanent injunction barring the cities from enforcing restrictions and seeks unspecified damages.

A court hearing is scheduled for Friday in Des Moines.

Legislation signed into law last month lets Iowans buy, use and sell fireworks from June 1 through July 8 and from Dec. 10 through Jan. 3. Local governments can opt out or limit the use of fireworks but not the sale.

Another company has gone to court to stop Des Moines from enforcing its rule limiting fireworks sales to industrial areas.

more at ease when going after Democrats in front of adoring crowds than trying to push through his own legislative agenda from the confines of the White House.

Trump’s aides are making a renewed push to get the president out of Washington. The capital is consumed with the investigation into Russian meddling in last year’s election and Trump’s firing of his FBI director.

Campaign rallies energize Trump by placing him in front of supporters who have stuck by him and are likely to dismiss the investigations as Beltway chatter.

Iowa, with its large

share of independent voters, could be a proving ground for whether Trump can count on the support of voters beyond his base. Unaffiliated voters — 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 who register as 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. That

margin helped Trump take the state by nearly 9 points after Barack Obama won it for Democrats the previous two elections.

Trump held a Des Moines rally in December as part of his transition-era “thank you” tour of states he had won, but has not been back to Iowa since.

Wednesday night, he touted his administration’s efforts to roll back regulations, mused about putting solar panels on a Mexican border wall, derided wind power for killing birds in a state that uses a lot of it and revealed that he urged the Senate to create a health care plan “with heart. Add some money to it!”

He avoided any discussion of the scandals surrounding his presidency, other than one brief reference to the “witch hunt,” which is what he has dubbed the probes into his campaign’s ties to Russia.

Trump’s evening in Iowa began with a tribute to former Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, whom he appointed the United States’ ambassador to China. He hailed Branstad, the longest-serving governor in the nation’s history and an early Trump backer, as “a legend” and “one great man.”

Trump’s stop at Kirkwood Community College was intended to draw attention to the school’s advancements in high-tech agriculture, but he resisted sitting behind the wheel of a virtual reality device that simulated a giant combine harvester. He was joined by Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross as part of the administration’s latest theme week, this time to highlight the importance of technology. He later touted the wealth of Ross and chief economic adviser Gary Cohn, saying: “Those particular positions, I just don’t want a poor person. Does that make sense?”

But much of Trump’s attention was on the suburbs of Atlanta, in the 6th Congressional District race.

Democrats had lavished attention and money on Tuesday’s special election, hoping for a victory that would underscore Republican worries about Trump and serve as a harbinger of a Democratic wave in 2018.

Instead, Handel’s victory, in a traditional Republican stronghold that rarely produces a competitive contest, was met with a sigh of relief among the GOP.

City in eastern Iowa celebrates completion of bicycle trail BETTENDORF (AP) — City officials in eastern Iowa are celebrating the completion of the city’s last section of the Mississippi Riverfront Trail.

A ribbon-cutting event was held in Bettendorf on Tuesday to celebrate the trail’s completion. The city’s section of the trail cost about $670,000 and includes the construction of a new steel and concrete bridge over Crow Creek.

Bettendorf Mayor Bob Gallagher said the bike trails add to the health of the Quad-Cities and will attract tourists. It also connects the city with communities along the Mississippi River, he said.

Bettendorf City Admin-

istrator Decker Ploehn, who also works with the QuadCity Health Initiative and Be Healthy Quad-Cities, said the project is a collaborative effort to promote overall health in the community.

The city now has 13 miles of separated trails, 2 miles of bike lanes along roadways, and 12 miles of recreational trails along greenways and the Mississippi River.

In some portions the trail is separated from U.S. 67, while other sections have an added four-foot-wide shoulder to accommodate cyclists.

Denise Bulat, an avid bicyclist and executive director of the Bi-State Regional Commission, said the wide shoulders are a “huge improvement” to the route.

Quad City Times Photo A new bridge is part of the last portion of the Mississippi River Trail in Bettendorf was officially opened Tuesday. It is a steeland-concrete bridge over Crow Creek and adjacent to U.S. 67.

Annett, Allgaier ready for Iowa Speedway

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Rolling with momentum in the NASCAR Xfinity Series into Iowa Speedway are the drivers for JR Motorsports — Elliott Sadler, Justin Allgaier, rookie William Byron and Michael Annett. JR Motorsports have the top three drivers in the 2017 current standings and all four are in the top 10.

Allgaier and Sadler just switched places atop the Xfinity Series standings following the race at Michigan last Saturday. Byron, who won the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Iowa in 2016, is sitting in third place.

Annett, a Des Moines native, is 10th.

When the green flag drops at 7:30 p.m. for the 2017 NASCAR Xfinity Series American Ethanol E15 250, the JR Motorsports drivers will be going for an individual victory as well as keeping their team rolling through the season. Defending Iowa race champion Sam Hornish Jr. is back as a driver for Team Penske this season.

on Saturday.

“Looking at our short program in general as a team, we’re probably the strongest team. Justin winning at Phoenix and how well every one of our teams ran at Richmond, I’m nothing but excited coming into the Iowa race,” Annett said. “It’s my hometown track.

Knowing how strong our cars on short tracks are, I can’t wait to get there.”

This will be Annett’s first race at Iowa Speedway since 2013, when he left the Xfinity Series then called Nationwide Series for a three-year run in the NASCAR Cup Series. He joined JR Motorsports this

season and is driving the No. 5 Pilot Flying J Chevrolet.

Annett said he really looks forward to being back on the Iowa track and seeing how much it has changed over the past couple of years. Iowa Speedway’s track is so much fun to compete on, he said.

He said the last time he

raced at Iowa, cars didn’t run on the top line of the track.

Veteran and rookie drivers featured in NCWTS races

Johnny Sauter, 2016 NCWTS Champion

Chase Brisco, NCWTS rookie

SICL title races should have fun finish With its win over Gilbert on Wednesday, the Class 2A No. 5 Collins-Maxwell/Baxter softball team locked up at least a share of the Heart of Iowa Conference title.

It’s the second straight conference championship for the Raiders, who are six wins away from tying last year’s school-record win total of 27.

While that league’s intrigue and suspense is all but over, the South Iowa Cedar League has itself a pair of tight conference races, and two area schools are in the middle of the races.

In softball, five teams are within one game of each other.

Colfax-Mingo suffered a loss to HLV on Wednesday, which pushed the 1A No. 11 Tigerhawks into a threeway tie for second with No. 12 Lynn-

Johnny Sauter has never won a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Iowa Speedway. He has 10 starts at Iowa with six top-five wins.

Sauter is out to change all that Friday night in the NCWTS M&M’s 200. He is the 2016 NCWTS champion and is atop the 2017 driver points leaderboard coming into Iowa.

NCWTS rookie Chase Brisco has never won a Truck Series race at Iowa either. He did win the 2016 ARCA Series race at the Speedway on his way to the 2016 ARCA Racing Series championship.

Sauter drives the No. 21 Allegiant Airlines Chevrolet truck for GMS Racing. Brisco is the driver of the No. 29 Cooper Standard Ford truck for Brad Keselowski Racing.

On Friday, the two drivers will be on the 7/8-mile track at Iowa Speedway when the green flag flies at 7 p.m. It is the 11th NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race in the history of the Newton track.

“There’s a lot of things I like about the Iowa track. Number

No. 13 Sigourney is sitting at 10-3, No. 14 Belle Plaine is 9-3 and Colfax-Mingo, Lynnville-Sully and North Mahaska are all 9-4.

Based on strength of schedule the rest of the way, Sigourney and Belle Plaine have the best chance to hoist the conference title trophy at season’s end. Sigourney plays at Keota (0-13) and hosts Iowa Valley (2-10) to finish the season, while Belle Plaine concludes with two games against Iowa Valley, a home game against English Valleys (3-10) and a road game against Tri-County (6-7).

Colfax-Mingo swept Lynnville-Sully during the regular season. The Tigerhawks host BGM (7-6) and Montezuma (6-6) and travel to North Mahaska to conclude the season.

1 is it is close to home,” Sauter said, who is from Wisconsin.

“It’s been a really good race track for me until the past couple of years.

“We’re looking to get back to running well there this weekend.”

Sauter said the race track has changed a lot over the years, gaining character with the bumps. It presents more of a challenge to him of late, he said.

“When a track challenges you like that, you want to get back on the right side of it. I look forward to getting it going again there,” Sauter said.

“It’s a fun race track with close quarter racing, but also it’s big enough to get the speed.”

In 2016, Sauter finished 10th at Iowa. He is one of three veteran drivers who have had 10 starts at Iowa.

Matt Crafton, who is third in driver points, and Timothy Peters, who is 11th, have race wins at Iowa. Peters has been to Victory Lane twice and Crafton has one victory.

Sauter said his success in 2016 and so far in 2017 goes back to the GMS Racing Team as a whole. He said GMS drivers have had great trucks to

ka and BGM and plays at an HLV team which swept the Tigerhawks in 2017.

North Mahaska plays HLV in between its games of Lynnville-Sully and Colfax-Mingo.

The good news is, all four ranked teams in the league could play at the state tournament in Fort Dodge as all four programs will be No. 2 seeds in their respective regional tournaments.

North Mahaska is the No. 3 seed in Lynnville-Sully’s regional.

The SICL baseball race for the title features a three-team race between Colfax-Mingo, Lynnville-Sully and BGM. The Tigerhawks (12-2) and Hawks (11-2) both have two losses after Lynnville-Sully’s 2-0 win over Colfax-Mingo on Monday. The two teams split this season.

BGM currently has three conference losses in third. The Bears can make up ground in the standings early next week if they can beat both Colfax-Mingo and Lynnville-Sully.

The Tigerhawks also play North Mahaska, which defeated Colfax-Min-

race with and tremendous teams to work with.

“It’s a package deal. GMS is building great race trucks and bringing them to the race track each week. I get to drive them,” Sauter said. “Ultimately, it is about being around a good group of guys, and this is the best group of guys I’ve been around.”

Sauter won at Dover on June 2. Under the new racing format of three stages per race this season, he has had four stage wins.

Brisco has moved up into the Truck Series in 2017. He has been close to victories the past two weeks, settling for second. He has won the pole position in two races.

“There’s a learning curve.

A truck does not drive like an ARCA car,” Brisco said. “The trucks are bigger and boxy and react differently on the track.

I’m getting the feel of the truck and working my way into position to challenge for a win.”

Brisco came with two other of BKR rookie drivers when the team did track testing at Iowa in April. He just watched.

TRUCKS | 3B

go 4-2 back on June 2.

Lynnville-Sully and BGM both have three SICL games remaining. The Hawks host North Mahaska (4-8) and BGM and travel to HLV (8-5), while BGM plays at Lynnville-Sully and hosts Colfax-Mingo and Montezuma (1-12).

To add even more intrigue, Colfax-Mingo, Lynnville-Sully and North Mahaska are all in the same 1A district.

Back to softball, the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union made a mistake with its pairings. The original pairings had Columbus/WACO in 2A and Dyersville Beckman in 3A, but the two programs should have been in opposite classes.

So with Beckman moving to 2A, CMB will now be the top seed in Region 7 and it could still get three home games.

The Raiders (21-5) will play either Woodward-Granger or Panorama on July 5 in Collins.

Tigerhawk baseball stays in SICL title hunt after walk-off win

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

COLFAX — On a night when the defense let down, the bats came alive for the Colfax-Mingo baseball team on Wednesday.

The Tigerhawks cranked out 13 hits, walked six times and reached two other times on hit by pitches and that helped them overcome four errors during a 6-5, nine-inning victory over HLV during South Iowa Cedar League play.

Colfax-Mingo blew two different leads before coming from behind after HLV took the lead with a run in the top of the ninth inning.

“It’s a big win. It shows that we can battle back after making mistakes and don’t give up until the very end,” Colfax-Mingo senior Jimmy Camp said. “It’s really big to pull this one off.

We have some tough games still to play but we just have to keep battling and hopefully we can finish this off.”

The Tigerhawks are trying to finish the season with an SICL championship. After both teams won Wednesday, Colfax-Mingo and Lynnville-Sully are still tied at the top at 12-2 and 11-2, respectively.

“It’s a big win for us. L-S has to play a few tough games next week so this race could get interesting,” Colfax-Mingo coach Greer Milledge said.

“We both play a good BGM team so that could be a big two games. We just need to keep playing. If we do what we are capable of doing, we will be in the mix for it until the end.”

Colfax-Mingo (12-3 overall, 12-2 in the SICL) had just two hits in a loss to Lynnville-Sully on Monday. The team got some practice time in the batting cage Tuesday, and the pay off was a 13-hit night against the Warriors.

Camp’s only hit of the game was a lead-off double in the bottom of the first inning. He moved to third on a groundout and then scored on sophomore Zarek Hill’s RBI groundout.

Camp came into the game batting .257 but his on base percentage is .536. Against HLV, Camp went 1-for-2 with two walks and a hit by pitch.

He has been hit by 15 pitches this season and walked 12 times from the lead-off position in the lineup.

“I don’t care how I get on base. I just want to help us win,” Camp said. “We took a tough

loss Monday. We just didn’t have much fun that night. Our dugout was lifeless too, but we had a lot of life tonight.”

The Tigerhawks went up 2-0 in the third. Freshman Trinity Schroeder singled with two outs and then moved up a base on Hill’s single. Schroeder scored on junior Misha Seebeck’s RBI hit.

HLV plated three runs off C-M starter Jonathan Jacobs in the fourth, but the Tigerhawks helped the Warriors’ cause with a pair of errors.

The HLV (11-8, 8-5) lead was short-lived as the Tigerhawks put together another two-out rally.

Freshman Brady Berkey singled with two outs and then Camp walked. Schroeder then drove in the tying run when he singled.

Raiders claim at least share of HOIC title

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Abbey Kahler twirled her third shutout of the season and struck out 13 batters in the circle during the Class 2A No. 5 R ai d e r s’ 5-0 win over GilKahler bert on We d n e s day during Heart of Iowa Conference play.

It was the seventh shutout of the season for CMB, which earned at least a share of the conference title after the win. At 13-1, the Raiders can win the HOIC outright with road wins over either South Hamilton or North Polk next week.

Freshman Holly Jessen had three hits and two RBIs at the plate to lead a

CMB offense that stranded 11 runners on base.

Kahler added two hits, including a double.

Sophomore Sydney Schmidt and senior Mikayla Eslinger both had RBI hits, and freshman Abby Husak contributed an RBI groundout. Freshman Mikayla Houge had one hit, one walk and two runs.

Kahler improved to 8-5 in the circle, and she now has 113 strikeouts.

She got out two early jams against the Tigers (4-18 overall, 1-12 in the HOIC). Gilbert stranded runners on second and third in both the first and fourth innings.

CMB (21-5) hosts its annual tournament on Saturday. The Raiders play Colo-NESCO at 9 a.m. and Montezuma at 12:30 p.m. Colo-NESCO plays Montezuma at 10:45 a.m.

The Tigerhawks reclaimed the lead in the fifth inning.

Seebeck led off the frame with a single and then senior Adam Teed walked. Both runners moved up a base on an HLV error and then Jacobs made it 4-3 with an RBI fielder’s choice.

Jacobs started the game as the pitcher was DH’ed for, but finished with one hit, one walk, one run and one RBI. “It can be hard to come off the bench and bat in the middle of the game, but you have to do what you can to help your team,” Jacobs said. “I just tried to get good swings and help my team.”

The Warriors forced extra innings with a run in the sixth. The No. 8 and No. 9 hitters in the lineup both singled with one outs to start the rally.

Brandon Schafbuch scored on a fielder’s choice to tie it.

Jacobs left the game after the sixth and was replaced by junior Alex Lewis. Jacobs allowed three earned runs on seven hits with four strikeouts in six innings.

“He threw more than 90 pitches, but if you take away the errors, and he probably only has to throw 80 pitches,” Milledge said. “He’s thrown well all year and gave us another quality start. We just have to be better defensively.”

Lewis walked the first batter he faced in the ninth and Brendon Wood laced a oneout double to give the Warriors another lead. It was Wood’s only hit of the game.

Lewis got a strikeout for the second out and then got Ben Toyne to pop out with the bases loaded. Milledge decided to load the bases with an intentional walk. The decision worked out.

“We put him on because we wanted a force out anywhere and the batter coming up struck out twice looking his last two at-bats,” Milledge said.

Senior Adam Teed opened the bottom of the ninth inning with an infield single. Jacobs put two runners on with a walk and then both guys moved up a base following freshman Trystin Ross’ sacrifice bunt.

HLV decided to intentionally walk Lewis to load the bases, but the Tigerhawks tied when Berkey was hit by a pitch. With Camp standing at the plate, a wild pitch allowed Jacobs to score the winning run.

“We are late enough in the year that we just have to win games now. Anyway we can get a win, we’ll take it,” Milledge said. “It was good to see 13 hits tonight after Monday’s shutout loss. We’ll take advantage of another practice (Thursday) to get better still. We have the pitching, we just need to find a way to hit it well every night.”

Seebeck finished with three hits, and Schroeder and Teed both had a pair of hits. Lewis (1-1) got the win on the mound after allowing one earned run on two hits with four walks and four strikeouts in three innings of relief.

The Tigerhawks host Collin-Maxwell/Baxter (3-13) for a non-conference game at 6 p.m. Friday in Colfax.

Colfax-Mingo falls out of SICL lead after loss to Warriors

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News VICTOR — The Colfax-Mingo softball team had six more hits than HLV on Wednesday during a South Iowa Cedar League game.

Unfortunately for the Tigerhawks, three HLV hits resulted in five runs, and the Warriors handed Class 1A No. 11 Colfax-Mingo a 6-2 road loss.

HLV completed the season sweep of the Tigerhawks this season, and the loss knocked Colfax-Mingo out of first place in the SICL. Senior Amy Russell had three hits, and juniors Ries Wilson and Rhiannon Haley both had two hits, but the Tigerhawks couldn’t get the clutch hits with runners on base.

HLV had just three hits, but one was a two-out, two-run single in the second and another was a three-run triple in the fifth.

Colfax-Mingo got a lead-off single from Wilson in the first and a lead-off double by sophomore Colbee Cunningham in the second but couldn’t score.

Sophomore Delaney Underwood drew an RBI bases-loaded walk to cut the HLV to 2-1. The Tigerhawks stranded the bases loaded in the fifth and scored only one

run in the seventh after two of the first two batters reached on singles.

Colfax-Mingo left nine runners on base in the loss.

Haley had an RBI groundout in the frame, but the Warriors finished the deal to improve to 8-8 on the season and 7-6 in the SICL. Russell fell to 11-3 on the season despite striking out 10. She allowed six earned runs on three hits and three walks. Emma Cheney, who had the three-run triple in the fifth, earned the win to improve to 8-5 on the year.

The loss snapped Colfax-Mingo’s seven-game winning streak.

The Tigerhawks fell to 16-8 overall and 9-4 in the SICL. No. 13 Sigourney and No. 14 Belle Plaine both won to remain in first place in the conference standings, while Lynnville-Sully’s win over Montezuma pulled the 12thranked Hawks into a second-place tie with Colfax-Mingo. North Mahaska also is tied for second at 9-4 in conference play.

Colfax-Mingo hosts BGM at 6 p.m. Thursday in Colfax. It plays in the Marshalltown Bobcat Classic on Friday and Saturday.

Annett and Allgaier have both had the Cup Series experience and are back in the Xfinity Series. Allgaier finished seventh at Iowa a year ago in the June race. JR Motorsports teammate Elliott Sadler was sixth in that race.

“As a team we have a lot of momentum coming into Iowa,” Allgaier said. “I love racing at Iowa. The setting the track is in with the corn fields around it provides for a great atmosphere. The fans are great. With it being a short track, we really can put on a great show for the fans.”

Allgaier is a native of Riverton, Ill., and grew up in a rural setting. He said it is one reason he appreciates Iowa

Speedway and its surroundings. Also one of his sponsors is an agriculture-based industry, BRANDT Professional Agriculture.

“The bump between Turns 1 and 2 makes Iowa challenging but lots of fun to race on,” Allgaier said. “I started racing when I was 5 and had parents who were into racing. I love the speed of the car when I’m on the track plus the competition is a driving force for me in the sport.”

Allgaier, who drives the No. 7 BRANDT Chevrolet, said in last year’s June Xfinity race, all the drivers were on the top line of the track then in late July’s second race, they were running on the bottom line. He said tracks change which presents challenges to the drivers and teams.

“We embrace those challenges and make our cars run the best they can on each particular track,” Allgaier said.

Neither Annett nor Allgaier have any superstitions they have before a race.

“The only thing I do have is when my daughter, who is 3, travels with me and is at the

track. She always has to tell me four things — good luck, don’t wreck, you gotta win and get up on the wheels — before I get in the car,” Allgaier said.

Annett said he enjoys the competition of racing. He said he doesn’t do much work

from Monday to Thursday but when the weekend rolls around, it is time for him to show his worth.

“You realize how special it is to have a good restart during a race,” Annett said.

“You have to develop the tem-

perament of surviving the ups and downs of the sport.

Accept it and move on to the next race.”

Trucks Continued from Page 1B “Even by watching and observing how the other drivers and trucks respond to a track helps. You can always learn by watching,” Brisco said. “I know about the bump between Turns 1 and 2 at Iowa from my ARCA racing, but the trucks respond to it differently.”

Brisco said what Austin Cindric and Justin Haley and the BKR team learned in April was shared throughout the team. He said racing is a team sport and each driver is out to win but also to help fellow team drivers.

Sauter said talked about racing as a team sport also. He said the Truck Series has 32 teams competing at each race.

“We like to have fun together, but when it’s time to get down to work, we realize it and do the work,” Sauter said. “I believe the GMS team is hitting on all cylinders coming into Iowa.”

Sauter said the new format of stage racing has pros and cons to it, but it has proven to add a new layer to the competition. Drivers want to put on the best show on the track for fans and the stage racing is providing more flair to races.

“You really work for track position in each stage so the action intensifies at the end of each stage,” Sauter said.

File Photo At right, NCWTS rookie Chase Brisco drives the Brad Keselowski Racing No. 29 truck in a race earlier this season. Brisco moved up from the ARCA Racing Series in 2017. He won the ARCA race at Iowa Speedway in 2016.

File Photo Johnny Sauter, driver of the GMS Racing No. 21Chervolet truck, is the current points leader and the 2016 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion. He is one of the veteran drivers in the NCWTS.

“There’s a lot of strategy working. This year that has worked for us and against us.”

Sauter said has raced at all

three national NASCAR levels. He said the Truck Series is a perfect fit for him.

“As a father of three with

one on the way, the Truck Series works well for me. I have the best of both worlds — spending time with my family

and doing something I love to do,” Sauter said.

Brisco said has been around racing all his life. He is the grandson of Richard Brisco, a legendary sprint car owner, and his father was a sprint car driver.

“I like the people involved with the sport. I’m enjoying the Truck Series. I love short track racing so coming to Iowa will be exciting for us,” Brisco said.

Will the veteran or the rookie be better at short-track racing Friday at Iowa Speedway? Fans will find out as the NCWTS M&M’s 200 rolls on the track.

Astrograph

Some environments make it easier for you to form the habits you want. You’re likely to encounter such sweet circumstances smack between the solar change to Cancer and the new moon. Look for the small action that could be the seed of something great. Here’s the key: It has to be easy to repeat (and repeat and repeat and repeat).

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 22). Peace comes with this solar return. You will trust in the benevolence of the universe, and your trust will be well-placed. Next month brings a creative wave. A political change (perhaps along the lines of neighborhood or

family politics) will favor you in September. You’ll make money in August and March.

Scorpio and Libra adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 28, 50, 11 and 34.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The examples and ideas that come to mind are the most available ones to your brain, not necessarily the best or most accurate ones. For the best results, question and test everything.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Perhaps there is more affecting the outcome than you can currently imagine. For this reason, try not to get too attached to a particular vision of the end

result. Once you free yourself from expectation, you’ll be able to handle and enjoy what comes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

To be very literal in your interpretation of what is directed to you is to miss the intention of almost everything. People rarely say what they mean, after all. Feel the tone.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Attraction is the glue of the universe. Desire brings things into being. If you feel needy, if you are left wanting, if you are a slave to your cravings, find the creative force in this and let it power you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes we don’t want what’s good for us. The more we want something, the less wise we

641-792-5320

become. Back off. Detach.

Don’t ask, “Will I?” before you ask, “Should I?” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you learn from every scenario, the more scenarios you live, the more you’ll learn. So when the question of whether to go or stay arises, if your aim is to be wiser, the answer is usually to go.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Though you value sincerity, you also see the value in its opposite, which today amounts to someone’s rather creative way of assembling the given information in order to accomplish the greater good. Call it diplomacy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You admire those who are better prepared, but don’t let that

stop you from jumping in and doing your best with whatever you have and wherever you are in the learning process.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Conversations have a way of getting off-track as people keep talking to try and make a connection that may never come. Instead, keep it brief, say what you need to say, and then leave and let it sink in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Tremendous rationality can have a way of dulling your senses. This has been a theme for you lately and the cosmic challenge really comes to a peak today. Use your feelings; choose your heart.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This is no time to start falling in line. You could save

the day by marching to your own drum. Give yourself the leeway to mess around, try things on and poke your nose into the parts of it that don’t seem meant for you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

To rebel is a natural urge.

Without it there’s no progress.

Remember this when -- for reasons you can’t explain -- you want to overturn the authority (even if said authority is only a voice in your own head).

Newton baseball loses twice in LHC action to Oskaloosa

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

OSKALOOSA — Clutch hits don’t come easy for Newton High’s Cardinals neither do extra-base hits. Newton’s baseball team has 152 singles in 24 games and eight extra-base hits — seven doubles and one triple.

Newton connected for 12 hits in a 7-5 loss of a nightcap game Wednesday against host Oskaloosa. It had five hits in the opener which the Cardinals lost 5-1 to the Indians.

“We hit the ball and pitched well enough to win the second game. We had a couple of those key hits in the game, scoring runs. The problem was we shot ourselves in the foot with several big errors,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said.

All 17 hits in Wednesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader were base hits. Oskaloosa had 10 hits in the second game and three of those were doubles.

“We’re missing opportunities with people on base,” Brisel said. “We have to play more consistently on defense.

We talk about making the routine plays. We played a clean game in the first one, but we had four errors in the second game, which cost us runs.”

Logan Wolfe started on the mound in the opener. He worked 4 2/3 innings and was charged with five runs on seven hits and five walks. He had one strikeout. Ben Leal pitched 1 1/3 innings.

Newton’s single run came in the second and tied the game at 1-1. Ryan Barr singled and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Wolfe. Blayden Rhone drove in the run on a single.

Oskaloosa had single runs in the first, second and third innings. The Indians added two more in the fifth frame.

The other hits for Newton in the game were by Trevor Ergenbright, Tyler Stanton and Trey Vanderlaan.

Oskaloosa jumped out to a 3-0 lead with three runs in the second inning of the second game. Newton produced a run on an Ergenbright single and a two-out error on a ball hit by Leal in the third inning.

The Cardinals tied the game at 3-all when they plated two runs in the fourth. Barr singled followed by a oneout base hit by Keith Steinbach. Cole Cazett was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Ergenbright drove in the two runs on a single.

Newton pulled ahead 4-3 in the top of the fifth inning. Jaron Roush hit a fly ball with one out and the bases loaded to drive in the run, but Newton couldn’t get any more runs across the plate.

The Indians manufactured three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, going up 6-4. Ergenbright, who reached on a fielder’s choice, stole second and score for Newton on a base hit by Leal in the sixth to make it a one-run game.

Oskaloosa answered with a run of

its own in the sixth. Newton put the tying run on with two gone in the top of the seventh with a base hit by Roush. Unfortunately, the Indians coaxed a pop-up out of Steinbach to first base ending the game.

Ergenbright had three singles in four at-bats for Newton. Leal and Barr each had two singles. Hitting a single each were Vanderlaan, Ty Arguello, Roush, Steinbach and Cazett.

Newton fell to 3-11 in LHC play

and 5-19 overall. Oskaloosa, which is second in the conference standings, improved to 16-8 overall and 11-4 in the LHC. The Cardinals play at 5:30 p.m.

Thursday at Des Moines Lincoln. They have a 7:30 p.m. LHC game on Friday at Pella.

Missed opportunities doom Cardinals in twin bill with Indians

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Audrey Lucas locks up her glove after catching a line drive hit to shortstop in a game earlier this season. Newton lost a Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader at Oskaloosa on Wednesday.

OSKALOOSA — Emily Valtman’s 10th home run of the season pushed Newton High’s Cardinals to a 2-0 lead over Class 4A sixthranked Oskaloosa in the first inning of Wednesday’s opening game of a Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader.

The Cardinals couldn’t hold the lead as their hosts scored three runs in the third inning. Newton went back up 4-3 in the top of the fifth frame. Oskaloosa responded with four runs in its half of the inning on its way to a 7-4 win.

Valtman cranked out two solo home runs in a 4-3 Newton loss in the nightcap. The Indians used a three-run fifth to claim a 3-2 lead and added a run in the sixth.

Valtman had two-out home runs in the first and seventh innings for the Cardinals. She has 12 home run for the season.

“We didn’t take advantage of the opportunities we had in either game. We made too many defensive errors,”

Newton head coach Kristina McNew said. “You can’t win many games giving up too many unearned runs and striking out as many times as we did tonight.”

Newton had two errors in the first game. Peyton Maher started in the circle for the Cardinals and Anna Coyle came on in relief in the bottom of the fifth inning. The two pitchers allowed seven hits and issued five walks.

In the first inning, Karley Leiker, who had three hits in the game, singled with one out. She crossed the plate before Valtman after her tworun home run.

Trailing 3-2, the Cardinals produced two runs in the top of the fifth inning to regain the lead. Karley Leiker doubled with one gone and Valtman drew walk. Maher connected for a two-run single.

Oskaloosa battled right back to take the lead again. A walk, three hits and a Cardinal error helped the Indians plate four runs.

Karley Leiker had two singles and a double. Valtman homered and Maher singled.

Rilee Slycord hit a double.

All three Newton runs

were scored with two gone in the innings. In the first frame, Valtman hit a home run. In the fifth inning, Karley Leiker doubled, Valtman walked and Taylor Ryan hit an RBI base hit to put Newton up 2-0.

Two errors by Newton benefited Oskaloosa in the bottom of the fifth as the Indians scored three runs. They added an insurance run in the sixth on a home run by Maddie Haines.

Valtman’s second home run of the game made it 4-3 in the top of the seventh. That was all the Cardinals could muster.

Coyle took the pitching loss. She allowed six hits, walked one and struck out three.

Karley Leiker had two doubles and Ryan hit two singles in the game. Hitting a single each were Lakin Jenkins, Slycord and Bailey Davis.

Newton dropped to 14-13 overall and to 8-7 in conference play. The Cardinals play a 7:30 p.m. LHC game on Friday at Pella.
