Newton woman to star on NBC’s ‘Little Big Shots: Forever Young’

School board accepts bid for new softball field

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News The Newton Community School Board of Education accepted a bid of $660,000 Monday night from Koester Construction for the building of a new softball field.

The field is set to be constructed at the corner of West Sixth Street South and South 15th Avenue West on land already owned by the school district. Koester will take on the project that was designed by FRK Architects and Engineers.

Construction of the field, which will include dugouts, a batting cage, fencing and storage, is slated to begin in early July. If it goes according to schedule, the project will be completed by November.

Newton residents Doug and Shelley Dodd expressed their concerns about the new field to the school board during the public hearing at Monday night’s board meeting. Their property on West Sixth Street South borders the planned site for the new field.

The Dodds’ backyard is directly north of the district’s land and near what is set to be the left field area of the new softball complex.

“We’re concerned about privacy,” Shelley said. “We’re concerned about noise. We’re concerned about lights. We’re concerned about dust.”

Submitted Photos Bonnie Eilert, 88, of Newton, will be featured on NBC’s “Little Big Shots Forever Young” Wednesday night for her expertise in calling chickens, hogs and husbandry. The Baxter native and Newton High School graduate traveled to Los Angeles in April to be filmed on the show.

Eilert demonstrates chicken-calling

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News An 88-year-old Newton woman known for her chicken-calling, spunki-ness and style will be featured on the small screen Wednesday night during NBC’s “Little Big Shots: Forever Young.”

Bonnie Swalwell Eilert, a Baxter native and a 1947 Newton High School graduate, went on one of her biggest adventures yet this past spring — she traveled to Los Angeles to film with TV host Steve Harvey.

Eilert’s hoots and hollers are not only famous to Iowans, but they are also known to Eilert’s friends and family in-

ternationally. Eilert has participated in the calling contests at the Iowa State Fair for more than 45 years, where she has won a hefty amount of blue ribbons in various categories.

When one of the producers of the newly launched show saw Eilert on social media, they reached out to the Iowa State Fair. The state fair employees then reached out to Eilert about the opportunity.

“Well I didn’t have to wait to think about it,” Eilert said. “Yes, yes, yes.”

Eilert said she received a call from NBC in January.

“My daughter Sheryl (Beals) and I went

through all kinds of pictures — hundreds that they wanted us to send over,” Eilert said. “Sheryl shipped all those albums and there were 12 to 14 boxes full.”

Fast forward to April, and Eilert and Beals found themselves flying to Los Angeles for 11 days. Eilert said she was not the least bit nervous and the producers were very welcoming.

“I just go with the flow,” Eilert said. “I call it one of my adventures.”

Eilert said she showed Harvey all of her wacky, antique hats.

“I gave Steve my pizza

hat, and I gave him an Iowa shot glass,” Eilert said. “He just loved it.”

Eilert said she demonstrated how to call chickens and hogs and the fan favorite — husband-calling, which is basically her hilarious attempt on trying to get a husband to come inside for dinner.

Eilert said all the goofiness and fun that will air doesn’t “phase her.”

“This was the thrill of my life to be given this honor,” Eilert said.

Eilert grew up as a farm girl on the edge of Baxter.

In an ongoing process to update the audio and visual equipment in council chambers at city hall, new upgraded video servers and broadcast software will be installed to improve overall viewing quality. City council approved a contract with Iowa Audio Video for $25,000 to upgrade to the Tightrope broadcast servers and Carousel servers.

In 2013, the city started work to upgrade the old and outdated audio and video broadcast system. The initial system utilized a VHS video tape recorder and a cassette recorder, both which had stopped working.

D&D properties eyed for storage unit development

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Three properties that were cleared as a part of the Dangerous and Dilapidated Program now have a new life. Properties at 1008 E. Eighth St. N., 1012 E. Eighth St. N. and 1018 E. Eighth St. N. were approved for sale by city council for $7,200 to Home Key LC to be redeveloped into a rental storage building park.

Several offers were given for the properties with Newton Planning and Zoning Director Erin Chambers recommending the Home Key LC offer for several reasons.

“(The offer comes) with a commitment to seriously pursue the home at 1010 E. Eight St. N. with the intention to demolish the last remaining residential structures,” Chambers said. “All of the cleared property would then provide space for a rental storage building park.

Development providing about 20,000 square feet of floor area for storage units.”

Chambers said the structure at 1010 E. Eight St. N. is of low quality and was initially identified to be part of the D&D Program.

At the time, the homeowner did not agree to a purchase price that

was inline with what the city was paying for other D&D properties.

Selling all three properties to a single buyer also provides efficiencies for the city and, overall, the sale is financially advantageous to the program.

“The redevelopment of this property into industrial use aligns with the comprehensive plan and the overall direction for the development of this block,” Chambers said.”

The sale is contingent upon Home Key’s ability to acquire 1010 E. Eighth St. N. by Sept. 15.

If it is unable to acquire the property, city staff recommends reconsid-

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Tuesday, June 27, the 178th day of 2017. There are 187 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 27, 1957, Hurricane Audrey slammed into coastal Louisiana and Texas as a Category 4 storm; the official death toll from the storm was placed at 390, although a variety of state, federal and local sources have estimated the number of fatalities at between 400 and 600.

On this date: In 1864, Confederate forces repelled a frontal assault by Union troops in the Civil War Battle of Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia.

In 1922, the first Newberry Medal, recognizing excellence in children’s literature, was awarded to “The Story of Mankind” by Hendrik Willem van Loon.

In 1974, President Richard Nixon opened an official visit to the Soviet Union.

In 1977, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down state laws and bar association rules that prohibited lawyers from advertising their fees for routine services. The Republic of Djibouti became independent of France.

In 1986, the International Court of Justice at The Hague ruled the United States had broken international law and violated the sovereignty of Nicaragua by aiding the contras. (The U.S. had already said it would not consider itself bound by the World Court decision.)

In 1990, NASA announced that a flaw in the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope was preventing the instrument from achieving optimum focus. (The problem was traced to a mirror that had not been ground to exact specifications; corrective optics were later installed to fix the problem.)

In 1991, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, the first black jurist to sit on the nation’s highest court, announced his retirement. (His departure led to the contentious nomination of Clarence Thomas to succeed him.)

Ten years ago: Former Treasury chief Gordon Brown became British prime minister, succeeding fellow Labourite Tony Blair. In her first televised interview since being released from custody, a subdued Paris Hilton told CNN’s Larry King she would never again drink and drive and that her time in jail was “a time-out in life.”

Five years ago: Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II and former Irish Republican Army commander Martin McGuinness offered each other the hand of peace during a private meeting inside Belfast’s riverside Lyric Theatre.

One year ago: The U.S. Supreme Court issued its strongest defense of abortion rights in a quarter-century, striking down 5-3 Texas’ widely replicated rules that sharply reduced abortion clinics in the nation’s second-most-populous state. The Supreme Court overturned the bribery conviction of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R), sending the case back to a lower court (prosecutors ended up deciding not to retry McDonnell).

Today’s Birthdays Business executive Ross Perot is 87.

Singer-musician Bruce Johnston (The Beach Boys) is 75. Fashion designer Vera Wang is 68. Country singer Lorrie Morgan is 58. Writer-producer-director J.J. Abrams is 51. Olympic gold and bronze medal figure skater Viktor Petrenko is 48.

Actor Edward “Grapevine” Fordham Jr. is 47. TV personality Jo Frost is 47. Actor Yancey Arias is 46. Actor Christian Kane is 43. Actor Tobey Maguire is 42. Rock singer Bernhoft is 41. Gospel singer Leigh Nash is 41. Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian is 33.

Actor Drake Bell is 31. Actor Sam Claflin is 31. Actress India de Beaufort is 30. Actor Ed Westwick is 30. Actress Madylin Sweeten is 26. Actor Chandler Riggs is 18.

That’s Odd Big catch: Fisherman finds camera, returns it to owner ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) — A man who was fishing in the Tennessee River reeled in a waterlogged camera and then used social media to track down its owner in Florida.

The St. Augustine Record reports Nate Wilson’s line snagged as he was fishing June 10. Then he reeled in the algae-covered camera that 37-year-old Alex Mansur accidentally dropped during a vacation five years ago.

Wilson found the memory card and uploaded the images to Facebook in hopes of finding the camera’s owner.

Entertainment Al Capone song, pocket watch fetch more than $100K at auction BOSTON (AP) — Artifacts connected to some of the nation’s most notorious gangsters sold for more than $100,000 at auction Saturday.

A diamond pocket watch that belonged to Al Capone and was produced in Chicago in the 1920s, along with a handwritten musical composition he wrote in Alcatraz in the 1930s, were among the items that sold at the “Gangsters, Outlaws and Lawmen” auction. The watch fetched the most — $84,375 — according to Boston-based RR Auction.

The winning bidder of the watch was not identified. The buyer is a collector who has an eye for interesting American artifacts, said RR Auction Executive Vice President Bobby Livingston. He was among about 30 internet, telephone and in-person bidders.

Capone’s musical piece entitled “Humoresque”

AP Photo A handwritten musical composition by Al Capone, a letter written by a jailed John Gotti asking someone to “keep the martinis cold,” and jewelry that belonged to Bonnie and Clyde are among the items up for bid Saturday in the “Gangsters, Outlaws and Lawmen” auction in Cambridge, Mass.

sold for $18,750. The piece shows Capone’s softer side.

It contains the lines: “You thrill and fill this heart of mine, with gladness like a soothing symphony, over the air, you gently float, and in my soul, you strike a note.”

tion.”

“The musical artifact gives insight into who this man was,” Livingston said. “It humanizes him, and shows that he had an imagination and creativity. These people had talents and they used those talents, unfortunately for criminal endeavors.”

Livingston was referring not just to Capone, but to infamous couple Bonnie and Clyde. An autographed “So Long” letter written by Bonnie Parker and signed by Clyde Barrow just before their deaths sold for $16,250. A pair of Texas arrest warrants fetched $8,125.

Parker’s silver-plated, three-headed snake ring fetched $25,000. The ring was not made by Barrow — a skilled amateur craftsman who engaged in jewelry making, woodworking and leathercraft behind bars — as originally believed, according to RR Auction’s website.

Local & State News Field Continued from Page 1A Doug’s biggest concern was about the placement of the restrooms, which were tentatively planned to go just a few feet from their property.

“I don’t want the restrooms put 20 feet from my bedroom window,” he said. “I’d have a big problem with that.”

According to Superintendent Bob Callaghan, the restrooms and concession stand are part of phase two of the project, and their placement is not yet set in stone.

School board members were open to discussing options that address the Dodds’ concerns.

Board President Travis Padget discussed the possibility of building a privacy fence that could serve as a buffer between the Dodd property and the softball field. While the privacy fence was not part of the action taken Monday, board members supported taking future action to make it happen.

In regards to Shelley’s concern about bright lights, school board member Andy Elbert said the newer technology in lighting will

The newer lights with reflectors, which Elbert said he recently saw at a baseball field in Pella, direct the light down onto the field and minimize the light that shines on neighboring properties.

One board member voted against the measure to accept the bid.

Robyn Friedman voted “no” based on principal and that the district didn’t contact nearby homeowners before taking action to set the field construction in motion.

“It was wonderful to share how my grandfather got here and how he was a surveyor,” Eilert said. “He got here in 1844 and bought 1,000 acres.”

Throughout Eilert’s childhood, her parents spent summer days at the Iowa State Fair, where traditions and events were much different than today’s.

“Dad would buy us a sherbet pineapple ice cream cone,” Eilert said.

“A wonderful treat because dad would never want to spend money on ice cream then.”

Eilert and her late husband Roy moved to Newton and had one child, Sheryl.

Eilert has been a longtime member of the Jasper County Chorus, the Jasper County Farm Bureau Club, volunteer of the Mingo Centennial and was a member of the Sugar Grove Grange, Killduff Grange and now the Amboy Trail Grange.

The modulator in use would no longer broadcast the city council meeting on Mediacom and the system used could not create digital files for uploading the meetings to the city’s website.

The upgrades were planned in phases with the initial phase to integrate the system with existing analog equipment and to produce video that could be broadcasted, webcasted and digitally stored along with abilities to interface with Mediacom’s broadcasting equipment.

Muckler The second phase took place in 2015 with upgrade to the audio system for improved sound quality within council chambers and when shown on Mediacom, as well as on the website through live streaming, recorded or on demand broadcasts.

“This also included an ADA compliant Assisted Listening Device in order for the city to comply with ADA accommodation requirements,” city administrator Matt Muckler said.

In 2016, the third phase replaced the three analog cameras in use, one of which had stopped working, with three HD digital cameras. Also, with the savings administration were able to negotiate for the contract, new TVs and a projection system were installed.

Since the initial upgrades started in 2013, all of the equipment has been converted to a digital format except for the video system. To complete the upgrade, the current Tightrope broadcast servers will be switched over to the digital.

Tightrope also offers a digital signage software upgrade called Carousel which can integrate seamlessly with Tightrope and provide computing updates including weather forecasts, traffic cameras, school closing, emergency alerts, community announcements and RSS, Twitter and Facebook feeds.

“By upgrading to the Carousel software the City will have the ability to create a dynamic broadcast tool that can constantly feed the most current information and community videos via Mediacom and the website,” Muckler said. “This system will work in conjunction with the new marketing presence for the city. It can also be expanded to include up to 14 additional devices that could include interactive signage and directional signage.”

Funds budgeted to administration will be used to pay for the upgrades.

Growing up, one tooth at a time T

here have been a couple of times in my girls’ lives that little changes seem to age them a year or two. When they went from infant to baby, baby to toddler and toddler to little girl.

One of those times just happened with my oldest daughter when her first tooth came out. She had been working on it for a couple of weeks but was hesitant to pull it out because of fear of pain when it did come out.

I had just gotten home from a meeting when she came running

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | June 27, 2017

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson into the living room jumping and showing me a huge smile. I wasn’t exactly sure what she was so happy about until she pointed to her mouth and there was a big gap where her tooth used to be.

Together we squealed with joy and then I asked where is your tooth?

With not a care in the world she said, I don’t know, and ran to tell her dad and sister the great news.

After weeks of talking about the Tooth Fairy, she forgot she actually needed to put the tooth out to receive her prizes. We cleaned her up a bit, took a few pictures, then set out

to find her tooth.

She had been playing a game on the computer when it finally popped out. I would love to have been a fly on the wall when it actually happened to see the look on her face when all of the twisting paid off and the tooth was out.

We looked by the computer, on the desk, under the desk and on the floor all around the computer room.

We finally found it in the doorway to our front room sitting on the floor, no worse for wear.

I decided to use the Tooth Fairy method I did as a kid and got cups to put the tooth in over night. I decorated them up a bit to make them special for each kiddo, and we were ready for the fairy’s visit.

The next morning, my oldest woke me up at 6:30 a.m. to show me

all of the coins the Tooth Fairy had left behind. Because she is my night owl and rarely wakes up before nine on her own, it shows it was a pretty big deal for her to be up so early.

Since the tooth has been out, it seems she has aged, at least in looks, from my little girl to a growing girl ready to take on the world.

I know I can’t stop time, nor do I want to, but every once in a while I try to slow it down to enjoy the little moments of my kids growing up for a little bit longer. And when it seems like they are growing far beyond their years, I still remember my girls always coming running to me when thunder booms and lightening strikes for a safe place to cuddle up and ride out the storm.

Living and Dion Marc Dion

Retiring during a Civil War My parents were good working-class Americans, so they taught me to be scared and ashamed. They taught me to be afraid of unemployment, poverty, the boss and the cops. They taught me to be ashamed of most bodily functions, embarrassed if I looked poorer than I was, and terrified of what other people thought of me.

Fear and shame have been good to me. I’ve never cashed an unemployment check. I finished college. I own a home. And I try to walk through the world without leaving tracks. I’m the 60-year-old man in a plaid shirt eating dinner alone in McDonald’s because his wife is working the night shift. I drive the speed limit. I have never been arrested, and I never use all my sick days.

I found a home in the newspaper business, and I have thrived in that home. I’ll retire in 60 months, and I think about it all the time.

I’ve been good. I have a pension. I’ll get Social Security. I have a 401(k) an IRA, stocks, bonds and savings. I should be fine.

My father, a man of few amusements, used to like to do something he always called “sitting and being quiet.”

In our living room, with the television off, he’d sit for hours in a green, crushed velvet armchair sometimes reading, often not.

“It’s nice just to sit and be quiet,” he’d say.

I’ve got a lot of that planned for retirement. While I’ve thrived in the newspaper business, it is a job full of sudden alarms and changes in plans and, while I love writing, I like a quiet life.

That’s why I hate America so much right now.

Like I said, I’ve been good. If I haven’t been much trouble during my working life, I plan on being a hell of a lot less trouble when I retire. I’m going to sit and be quiet, read, write a little, go out for breakfast once a week and smoke a pipe. I want to be one of those old guys in a gray button-front sweater who has one errand a day. His wife is still working, and she tells him to go to the grocery and buy two potatoes. He spends the whole night before deciding which store he’ll go to, deciding which route he’ll take, and making sure his gray button-front sweater is in the front of his closet.

Unfortunately, due to the recent takeover of our government by the Gods, Guns and Guts Boys (and I do mean “boys”), I’m likely to retire during a revolution, or during a civil war, or maybe in a fascist government headed by President for Life Donald Trump.

I’m not joking, either. I believe Donald Trump is entirely capable of asking America to vote him in as president for life, like they do in those countries where the army runs the government, and you have to stand in line for a week to buy sausage made with sawdust and pig nose.

Or maybe the current government’s 19th-century belief that six guys should have all the money in the country will lead to a complete economic collapse, in which case the money I’ve been hoarding for 40 years won’t be enough to buy a half pound of sausage made with sawdust and pig nose.

I’ve been good. I’ve been frightened, and cautious, and embarrassed, and it’s seen me through, and kept me warm, and dry, and fed, and out of jail. I just want to sit and be quiet. So, before you and the boys in your citizens militia decide to go hunting members of the other political party or shoot at the government, give a thought to the old guy eating alone in the McDonald’s.

Companies can either make things or make CEOs rich

Jeff Immelt, the CEO of General Electric since 2001, is retiring. The 61-year-old will be making a well-compensated exit.

Fortune magazine estimates that Immelt will walk off with nearly $211 million, on top of his regular annual pay. Immelt’s annual pay hasn’t been too shabby either. He pulled down $21.3 million last year, after $37.25 million in 2014.

But Immelt’s millions don’t come close to matching the haul that his predecessor Jack Welch collected. Welch’s annual compensation topped $144 million in 2000. He stepped down the next year with a retirement package valued at $417 million.

What did Immelt and Welch actually do to merit their super-sized rewards? What did they add to a GE hall of fame that already included breakthroughs like the first high-altitude jet engine (1949) and the first laser lights (1962)?

In simple truth, not much at all.

“We bring good things to life,” the GE ad slogan used to proudly pronounce. Not lately.

And not surprisingly either.

Mature business enterprises, we’ve learned over recent decades, either make breakthroughs for consumers or grand fortunes for their top execs. They don’t do both.

Why not? Making breakthroughs, for starters, takes time.

Enterprises have to invest in research, training, and nurturing high-performance teams.

Years can go by before any of

Another View Sam Pizzigati these investments bear fruit. By that time, the executives who made the original investments might not even be around.

Grand fortunes, by contrast, can come quick. CEOs can downsize here, cut a merger there, then sit back and watch short-term quarterly earnings — and the value of their stock options — soar.

If those don’t do the trick, CEOs can always just slash worker pensions or R&D and put the resulting “savings” into dividends and “buybacks,” two slick corporate maneuvers that jack up company share prices and inflate executive paychecks.

On any CEO slickness scale, Jack Welch would have to rank right near the top. In 1981, his first year as the GE chief, Welch quickly realized he was never going to get fabulously rich making toasters and irons.

So Welch started selling off GE’s manufacturing assets. In his first two years, analyst Jeff Madrick notes, Welch “gutted or sold” businesses that employed 20 percent of GE’s workforce.

By 2000, Welch himself was making about 3,500 times the income of a typical American family.

By contrast, in 1975, Welch’s predecessor took home merely 36 times that year’s typical American family.

As Welch’s successor, Jeffrey Immelt would give an apology of sorts in a 2009 address at West Point. Corporate America, he told the corps of cadets, had wrongfully “tilted toward the quicker profits of financial services” at the expense of manufacturing and R&D, leaving America’s poorest 25 percent “poorer than they were 25 years ago.”

“Rewards became perverted,” Immelt went on. “The richest people made the most mistakes with the least accountability.”

Unfortunately, and sadly, Immelt never took his own analysis to heart. As a rich CEO in his own right, he continued to make mistakes and suffer no particular consequences.

One example: After the Great Recession, Immelt froze the GE worker pension system and offered workers a riskier, less generous 401(k). Within five years, notes the Institute for Policy Studies, the GE pension deficit widened from $18 billion to $23 billion — even as Immelt’s personal GE retirement assets were nearly doubling to $92 million.

“If we want to slow — or better yet, reverse — accelerating income inequality,” the Harvard business historian Nancy Koehn noted a few years ago, “the most powerful lever we have to pull is that of outrageous executive compensation.”

How many more outrageously compensated executives will retire off into lush sunsets, the Jeff Immelt story virtually begs us to ask, before we start yanking that lever?

Widower finds companionship, but isn’t ready for romance DEAR ABBY: My wife died of cancer four years ago. She was my best friend, and the pain of losing her was more than I could cope with. I was in a fog for about two years, just going through the motions. Eventually the fear of spending the next 20 to 30 years alone drove me to try internet dating. I met some nice women and some very strange ones, but nothing came of it.

Then a year ago, an old friend introduced me to “Elaine.” We hit it off immediately. We share the same interests and offbeat sense of humor, and I have grown fond of her. She’s intelligent, kind and easy on the eyes. Our grown kids get along very well.

Our mutual friend told me that Elaine said she loves me and would be thrilled if I proposed — I guess to encourage me to the next level. My problem is, I’m still in love with my late wife.

If Elaine one day tells me she loves me, how do I respond without hurting her feelings or making her withdraw?

I can see myself loving her in the future, but I am still silently mourning my wife. I don’t want to chase Elaine away, so please tell me what to do. — NEW YORK WIDOWER DEAR WIDOWER: You and Elaine appear to have a communication problem. You are both adults. If she has fallen in love with you, you shouldn’t have to hear it from a mutual friend.

You owe it to her to have a frank talk with her because she needs to know that you don’t intend to remarry until you are over the loss of your late wife. She may decide to stick it out and wait or, as you say, decide to move on. But at least she’ll know what she’s dealing with.

It might also be a good idea for you to consult a grief therapist. Because if you do, it may make it easier for you to move forward with your life.

DEAR ABBY: Our friend’s adult children invited us to a birthday party they were throwing for their parent

at a restaurant. As we were ordering, the server asked if the checks would be separate or couples. (This was our first clue that we were expected to pay for our dinner.) For us, it was no problem, but an elderly couple had a long discussion about how they would pay.

When inviting guests to a party, is it proper to expect them to pay for their dinner? And if so, how should it be phrased in the invitation? If no mention is made, how would one inquire as to how the bill is handled?

This has never come up before.

Hosts (including us) have always picked up the tab. — CAUGHT OFF GUARD IN OHIO DEAR CAUGHT OFF GUARD: How embarrassing for that older couple, not to mention your friend.

Unless it is discussed or agreed upon beforehand, a host is expected to pick up the check. (That’s what “host” means.) If guests will be expected to pay for their own drinks (or meals), then the occasion is a “no host” gathering. That the guests were expected to pay for their own meal should not have been announced at the last minute; it should have been mentioned when the invitation was issued.

As to how to ask who will be paying when you are invited out, please know that asking that question isn’t rude — particularly in light of what you experienced.

World Food Prize goes to African Development Bank president DES MOINES (AP) — The son of a Nigerian farm laborer who rose out of poverty to earn graduate degrees in agricultural economics and spent his career improving the availability of seed, fertilizer and financing for African farmers is the winner of this year’s World Food Prize announced Monday.

Akinwumi Adesina, president of African Development Bank, says the future of global food security relies on making farming in Africa a profitable business and developing local food processing that adds value to agricultural products to help move farmers out of poverty.

“I believe that what Africa does with agriculture and how it does it is not only important for Africa but it’s important for how we’re going to feed the world by 2050 because 65 percent of all the uncultivated arable land left in the world is in Africa,” he said. “To help Africa get it right in agriculture is also going to be a key part of securing food for the world.”

World Food Prize President Kenneth Quinn, a former U.S. ambassador to Cambodia, said those goals are one reason the orAdesina g a n i z a t i o n’s board chose Adesina this year for the $250,000 prize.

An official announcement for the World Food Prize came in a ceremony Monday at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, with USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue hosting the event. Adesina, 57, works in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, where the African Development Bank is based.

He will receive the prize in a ceremony Oct. 19 at the Iowa Capitol.

“Dr. Adesina knows that our work is not done. The challenge of feeding 9 billion people in just a short time will continue as we address the hunger issue,” Perdue said. “At USDA we keep that in mind

as the world population grows and we want to be a huge contributor in providing the food needed to resolve and to supply the global demand for that vital noble resource.”

The World Food Prize was created by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Norman Borlaug in 1986 to recognize scientists and others who have improved the quality and availability of food. The foundation that awards the prize is based in Des Moines.

The award recognizes several of Adesina’s accomplishments including: • Negotiating a partnership between commercial banks and development organizations to provide loans to tens of thousands of farmers and agribusinesses in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana and Mozambique.

• Creating programs to make Nigeria self-sufficient in rice production and to help cassava become a major cash crop while serving as Nigeria’s minister of agriculture from 2011 to 2015.

• Helping to end more

than 40 years of corruption in the fertilizer and seed sectors in Nigeria by launching an electronic wallet system that directly provides farmers with vouchers redeemable for inputs using mobile phones.

The resulting increased farm yields have led to the improvement of food security for 40 million people in rural farm households.

Adesina said it’s vitally important to show young people in rural regions of Africa that farming can be profitable and can improve their lives as a way to stem terrorist recruitment efforts. He said high unemployment among young people, high or extreme poverty, and climate and environmental degradation all contribute to conditions in which terrorists thrive. He said these factors make up “the disaster triangle.”

“Anywhere you find those you find terrorists operating.

It never fails,” he said.

Adesina grew up in poverty in a rural area of Nigeria and said his father and grandfather walked fields as laborers.

After his father was chosen for a government job, Adesina was able to go to college. He earned agriculture economics degrees — both a master’s and a doctorate — from Purdue University in Indiana.

As a student, he said he saw that classmates were able to attend school when agriculture afforded them the opportunity, but they dropped out when it didn’t. He said from that experience he learned making agriculture profitable so families can provide their children with an education was a key to breaking the cycle of poverty.

He said he often thinks of the hundreds of millions of young, rural African people whose opportunities are limited because of what is happening with agriculture.

“So in a way for me this is not a job,” Adesina said. “This is a mission. And I believe that in getting agriculture to be a business — turning our rural areas from zones of economic misery to zones of economic opportunity — therein lies the future of Africa’s youth, especially those rural youths.”

Iowa program aims to inspire minority teachers

Reynolds, Gregg announce new closing cost assistance program for Iowa home buyers

CEDAR FALLS (AP) — A diverse group of high school students have spent a week living on a college campus in Iowa to learn what it’s like to be an educator.

Fifteen students participated in the week-long Minority Educators for Today and Tomorrow academy hosted by the University of Northern Iowa.

The program is a collaboration between the university, Waterloo Schools and Marshalltown High School. It aims to grow diverse educators in the Cedar Valley.

DES MOINES — Gov. Kim Reynolds and Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg announced #OwnItIowa, a new closing cost assistance program for Iowa home buyers, Monday at the administration’s weekly press conference.

The campaign is hosted by the Iowa Finance Authority and the Iowa Association of REALTORS and encourages all Iowans 18 years and older to visit IowaHouseHunt.com through August 31, 2017, for a chance to win $2,500 cash and learn about homeownership resources. A new, limited-time program offering $1,500 in closing cost assistance with conventional loans was also rolled out as part of the campaign.

“It’s no secret that our homeownership market is booming,” Reynolds said. “Iowa was recently named the number one state in the country for home buyers by bankrate.com due to our housing affordability and job market for young professionals. I commend the Iowa Finance Authority and the Iowa Association of REALTORS for offering new and innovative programs to increase awareness of resources in our state and this effort will help even more Iowans purchase homes this home buying season.”

“Homeownership is good for Iowa,” Gregg said. “With the sixth highest homeownership rate in the nation, Iowans benefit from the ripple effects

them see a path to becoming one, said university president Mark Nook.

“It made me want to become a teacher more. I can feel it now,” said program participant Tha Si, who just finished his freshman year at Waterloo West High School.

In the 2011-2012 school year, 51 percent of public school students nationwide were white while 82 percent of teachers were white, according to a report by the U.S. Department of Education.

“Research says that students learn better from teachers, role models that look like them, so we need more.

more,” said Tim Hopper, a seventh-grade Social Studies teacher at Central Middle School who was a facilitator in the program.

Another goal of the program is to demystify the college experience for students.

“It made it real for them.

‘Maybe I can go to college.’ To inspire that hope for them,” said university College of Education Dean Gaëtane Jean-Marie.

The program was free for students with funding provided by the university and the schools. The students each earned $500 scholarships to the university if they decide to attend after high school.

of homeownership, including increased economic activity in our communities. We can increase the amount of Iowa homeowners even more by connecting potential home buyers with programs and experts available to assist them, which is just what the #OwnItIowa campaign aims to do.”

The Iowa Finance Authority offers a variety of programs for eligible home buyers including $2,500 down payment assistance, $1,500 in closing cost assistance on conventional loans through the new, limited-time program and $5,000 down payment assistance for eligible service members and veterans.

“The Iowa Finance Authority is pleased to unveil the #OwnItIowa campaign as a fun way for Iowans to win $2,500 this summer,” Iowa Finance Authority Executive Director Dave Jamison said. “I encourage all Iowans to participate in this chance to win through Aug. 31.”

“All indicators are pointing up for Iowa’s housing market,” Iowa Association of REALTORS CEO Gavin Blair added.

“The number of days a home is on the market is at a near record low and competition for homes is strong. This translates to the need for home buyers to be armed with information, which is exactly why we’re teamed-up to offer the #OwnItIowa promotion.”

Faithfully recreating the scale and pomp of the final 1994 “Division Bell” tour, complete with circle screen and multiple moving light design, lasers, inflatables and theatrics, a Brit Floyd show really is as close as fans will ever get to experiencing the magnificence of a Pink Floyd show live.

More than a tribute, it’s as good as they say.

Believe the hype and don’t miss it.

Hy-Vee saves 1 million pounds of produce from landfills WEST DES MOINES — Hy-Vee, Inc. has announced that with the help of its customers, it has rescued more than 1 million pounds of fruits and vegetables from landfills — just four months after it began offering the Misfits produce program. To further combat the nation’s food waste issue, Hy-Vee began offering so-called “ugly” produce in nearly all of its grocery stores in January.

“Ugly” produce is cosmeti-

cally challenged fruits and vegetables that would traditionally go unsold due to the industry’s size and shape standards. HyVee partnered with Robinson Fresh, one of the largest produce companies in the world, to offer its line of Misfits produce.

“We are thrilled that Misfits fruits and vegetables have been so well received by our customers in such a short time,” said John Griesenbrock, vice president of produce/Health-

Markets at Hy-Vee. “This volume of food waste diversion is an encouraging sign that Hy-Vee’s focus on educating consumers about food waste issues around the world is having a positive effect, and we are excited to build upon these efforts going forward.”

Misfits provides customers more fruit and vegetable variety at a lower cost while also helping to reduce produce waste. Through the program, four to six Misfit items are de-

livered to stores weekly, based on what is seasonably available, and are sold on average at a 30 percent discount. Some of the line’s items include: peppers, cucumbers, squash, apples and tomatoes.

“We have found Hy-Vee to be a rewarding collaborator for the Misfits program,” said Jim Lemke, president of Robinson Fresh. “One million pounds of produce saved from landfills is no small feat, and we are pleased to help provide a pro-

gram that is beneficial to both consumers and retailers alike.”

The Misfits program is just one way Hy-Vee is trying to reduce food waste at all levels — from the supply chain to distribution and disposal. For several years now, Hy-Vee has been recognized for its food donation and diversion efforts in the communities it operates.

Misfits produce is available in almost all of the more than 240 Hy-Vee grocery stores across eight Midwestern states.

Four water quality demonstration projects receive more funding DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey announced four successful watershed-based demonstration projects funded in 2014, and set to end this year, will receive a 2nd round of funding. The locally-led projects will build upon previous demonstration objectives and continue working towards accelerated implementation of practices that improve water quality.

“Extending these projects will allow us to build on the strong foundation that has been created in these watersheds and continue to learn more about the best ways to get

water-quality-focused practices on the land. These projects create a great opportunity for farmers to see practices up close and better understand how they might work on their own farm,” Northey said.

The projects receiving extensions are the Cedar Creek Partnership Project (Wapello County), Deep Creek Water Quality Initiative Project (Plymouth County), Lower Skunk Water Quality and Soil Health Initiative (Henry County), and the Walnut Creek Watershed Project (Montgomery County). More details about each of the projects can be found at https://www.cleanwa-

teriowa.org/farm-1/.

These projects will receive a total of $1.88 million in additional funding through the Iowa Water Quality Initiative over the next three years. In addition to the state funds, these four projects will access approximately $4.1 million in matching funds to support water quality improvement efforts as well as other in-kind contributions.

These funds will allow the projects to focus on scaling up implementation of conservation practices identified in the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy and continue to build on existing assessment and

evaluation methods. Also, an additional $200,000 has been allocated for these projects which will be targeted towards implementation of select priority nutrient reduction conservation practices including wetlands, saturated buffers and bioreactors.

These four projects will continue to build upon existing partnerships as well as expand efforts to include new partnerships developed during the first three years. Thirteen new partners have joined the existing 37 partners currently involved in these projects.

Partners include agriculture organizations, institutions of

higher education, private industry, the local, state and federal government, and others, all working together to move conservation based water quality efforts forward.

“These projects are hitting their stride in terms of engaging farmers, getting practices on the ground and coordinating with partners and stakeholders. We have always understood that it would take a long-term commitment to improvement in these watersheds and I’m excited to continue to learn from these projects as we work to scale-up and expand water quality efforts across the state,” Northey said.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Jaron Roush (28) hits the ball with Keith Steinbach on third base during the first game of Monday’s home doubleheader with Norwalk. Steinbach scored on the play, but the Cardinals lost 4-2. They came back to win the second game 4-2 against the visiting Warriors.

Cardinals, Warriors split LHC twin bill

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Tyler Stanton helped himself in the bottom of the third inning of Monday’s second game between Newton High’s Cardinals and the visiting Norwalk Warriors. Stanton was Newton’s starting pitcher in the contest.

After Jaron Roush walked to lead off the Cardinals’ third inning, Stanton delivered a

game-tying triple. He scored the go-ahead run in Newton’s four-run at bat.

Stanton had a 4-1 lead when he went back to the mound. He threw a complete game for the Cardinals as they won 4-2.

“Tyler was excellent on the hill. He was throwing strikes and mixing in his off-speed pitches. The guys played solid defense behind him,” Newton

head coach Dustin Brisel said.

“We hit the ball.”

It was a good rebound for Newton after dropping the opener of the home Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader to Norwalk, 4-2. The Cardinals committed five errors in a game in which each team had six hits.

“We booted the ball around in the one inning and it cost us some runs,” Brisel said.

“We told the guys between games to just clear it out of their minds. They responded well going out playing relaxed and having fun.”

In that second game, Ben Leal followed Stanton’s triple by reaching safely on a Warrior error. Trey Vanderlaan singled to keep things going and Ty Arguello drove in a run with a base hit.

Vanderlaan and Arguello

moved up a base on an error.

With two gone in the third, Cole Cazett singled in the fourth run of the frame.

Newton was up 4-1 and the teams played three scoreless innings. Norwalk had the bases loaded with no outs in the top of the seventh. The Cardinals worked out of the jam, giving up just one run.

Ryan’s walk-off RBI single gives Cardinal softball a split with Norwalk

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Matching run for run, Newton High’s Cardinals and the visiting Norwalk War-

riors were tied 4-4 in the second game of a Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader on Monday at Berg Middle School field. The two softball teams had single runs in the

first, second, third and fifth innings.

The Cardinals had a 1-0 lead in the first game and the Warriors tallied two runs in the fifth on their way to a 2-1 victory.

Now, it was Newton’s turn.

Harlie Durr led off the bottom of the seventh inning with a solid double. With one gone, Karley Leiker was safe on a fielder’s choice then Tay-

Norwalk took the opener 2-1, but the Cardinals won the second game, 5-4, on a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning.

lor Ryan cranked out a walkoff RBI single to lift the Cardinals to a 5-4 win.

With the split of the LHC twin bill, the Cardinals moved to 10-8 in conference play and 16-14 overall. Norwalk is 1613 overall and 10-6 in LHC action.

Ryan and winning pitcher Peyton Maher each had two singles in the game. Durr had a single and a double. Bailey Davis and Audrey Lucas had a base hit apiece.

Norwalk scored in the first and Newton answered. Lakin Jenkins reached on an error and scored on a twoout passed ball.

The second and third innings were same as the first — one run apiece. For Newton in the second, Davis drew a walk, Lucas singled and Lucas would score on a two-out single by Durr.

In the third frame, Maher singled with two gone and Mackenzie Johnson went in to run for Maher. Johnson stole second base and came around to score on a base hit by Davis.

There was no scoring in the fourth, but again in the fifth it was one and one.

Shaver’s homer finishes big rally for Mustangs in win over red-hot Hawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Sometimes, the best way to break through a slump, is to take a chance on swinging at the first pitch.

That’s what sophomore Anna Shaver did Monday night against South Hamilton.

Admitting she was in a slump coming into the game, Shaver sent Taylor Volkmann’s first pitch over the right-field fence, and that completed a big comeback for the Mustangs during an 8-4 home victory during Heart of Iowa Conference play.

Shaver’s first career varsity home run was a no-doubter that

completed a seven-run fifth inning and helped PCM rally from an early 4-0 deficit.

“I was noticing that the first pitch was usually a strike so if it was there I wanted to hit. It was there, so I hit it,” Shaver said. “It was very much so the hardest hit ball I have ever had in my varsity career. That made my day. I was in a slump, and I am coming back from it. This was the final thing that made me know that I might be out of that slump. I was very happy.”

The comeback win by PCM kept the Mustangs in the hunt for the runner-up position in the HOIC. The win over South Hamilton improved PCM to

11-3 in conference play, and North Polk is third at 10-4.

Those two schools play Friday in Alleman for second in the league after Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter clinched the conference championship Monday with a 2-0 victory over the Comets.

“They are a good team, there’s no doubt about that,” PCM coach Scott Bridges said of a South Hamilton team which came into the game winners of six straight games. “We are a good team, too, when we are doing things right and not beating ourselves. When we are playing our game, playing relaxed and MUSTANGS | 2B

Mustangs drop Hawks as PCM honors seniors

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PRAIRIE CITY — Junior Noah Henkenius pitched into the seventh inning, sophomores Preston Van Wyk and Reed Worth each had two hits at the plate, and the Prairie City-Monroe baseball team claimed a 3-2 win over South Hamilton during Heart of Iowa Conference play on Monday.

The Mustangs grabbed an early lead on Senior Night and held off a late charge by the visiting Hawks. PCM led 3-0 after four innings, but South Hamilton plated two runs in the fifth thanks to two errors by the Mustangs.

Sophomore Brayton Van Dyke earned his fourth save of the season when he was called to the mound with one out in the seventh.

Henkenius got the win

and is now 5-1 on the season.

H e n kenius allowed two runs — one earned — on five hits with one Henkenius walk and six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings pitched. He was pulled for Van Dyke in the seventh after hitting a batter. Henkenius hit two Hawks in the game.

Van Dyke recorded a strikeout and allowed no hits and no runs in twothirds of an inning.

“Noah pitched a nice game,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said. “He didn’t have any issues until the sixth. A couple of errors in that inning hurt us, but we got out of it with the lead.”

PCM scored one run in

the first, one in the third and one in the fourth. The Mustangs stranded six runners on base in the first four innings. They left runners on second and third twice against South Hamilton starter Zeke Balderas (1-6).

“We had opportunities to put more runs across but just didn’t do it,” Lindsay said.

Van Wyk hit two doubles and scored two runs to lead the offense. Worth had two hits, one run and one RBI, senior Braden Phifer had one hit and one RBI and Van Dyke had an RBI sacrifice fly.

Senior Noah Clark and Henkenius had the other two hits.

Mustangs

Continued from Page 1B smooth, I feel like we can play with anybody. We just have to give ourselves a chance and not take ourselves out of games.”

The Mustangs (14-11 overall and 11-3 in the HOIC) were beating themselves a bit early in the game.

South Hamilton scored three runs in the third with two hits, a PCM error and a walk by Mustang starter Kayla Jennings. The Hawks, who knocked off Class 2A No. 1 Interstate 35 at their own tournament on Saturday, scored their final run in the fifth in part because of another error.

Offensively, the Mustangs had three hits in the first four innings. They stranded two runners on base in the first inning and left single runners stranded in the next three innings.

Things changed in the fifth though.

PCM got going when seniors Jayci Vos and Abby Waddell both reached on one-out bunt singles.

Senior Courtney Bridges hit an RBI single to put the Mustangs on the board and then Jennings made it 4-2 with another RBI single.

“Sometimes once you get on somebody, the pitcher can be shaken,” Coach Bridges said. “I think maybe she was trying to get it over the plate after that to try to get strikeouts. That allowed us to go after some pitches.

That loosened us up.

“We were chasing the rise ball early. We started to recognize that pitch.”

With two outs, junior Madison Foster and senior Brooke Nicholson tied the game with RBI hits. Both players came around to score on Shaver’s three-run blast that easily cleared the fence in right field.

Shaver started the game at first base but did not bat until the fourth inning when she grounded out to second.

Coach Bridges stuck with her in the fifth, and Shaver got it done with the game-winning bomb.

“Right before the game, I noticed something with her footwork during BP,” Coach Bridges said.

“We were able to fix it, but I had already had her getting DH for. I decided to let her bat, and that was a huge hit. We were already having a big inning anyway.

That was awesome.”

PCM tacked on another run in the sixth to take an 8-4 lead into the seventh inning. Vos was hit by a pitch

to start the inning, stole second and scored on Waddell’s RBI single. Waddell finished with three hits in the win.

The seven-run inning was more than enough support for Jennings, who improved to 11-8 in the circle. She allowed four runs — two earned — on nine hits with two strikeouts and two walks. Jennings also had two hits, was hit by a pitch, scored a run and had an RBI at the plate.

Foster had two hits and reached base a third time on a South Hamilton error. Vos scored two runs and stole two bases. The Mustangs left seven on base.

Volkmann dropped to 9-6 on the year for the Hawks. She allowed eight runs on 11 hits with four strikeouts, two walks and

two hit by pitches.

Alissa Moss had two hits and scored two runs from the lead-off spot for the Hawks (17-8, 8-5). She reached base a third time following a PCM error in the third. She later scored that inning to give South Hamilton a 3-0 lead.

Moss doubled in the fifth and scored on Marla Grubb’s RBI single to make it 4-0. Grubb had two hits in the loss.

PCM hosts 4A Knoxville for Senior Night at 7:30 p.m.

Tuesday in Monroe.

The Mustangs can do no worse than tie for second in the HOIC with a win at Nevada on Wednesday.

Westbrook wins NBA MVP; Rockets, Bucks take two awards NEW YORK (AP) — Russell Westbrook moved past Oscar Robertson and kept right on going to the top of the NBA. Westbrook was voted MVP on Monday night after setting a record with 42 triple-doubles during his historic season. He led the league with 31.6 points and added 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game, joining Robertson as the only players to average a triple-double for the season and breaking Robertson’s single-season record of 41 triple-doubles in 196162.

“I remember growing up just being home, playing the video games and stuff with my pops, and my mom sitting there and my brother and just talking about maybe one day I could be the MVP. Obviously I was joking at the time,” Westbrook said. “But now to be standing here with this trophy next to me is a true blessing, man, and it’s an unbelievable feeling, something that I can never imagine.”

Westbrook’s victory ended the first NBA Awards show, which included two wins apiece for the Houston Rockets and Milwaukee Bucks.

He received 69 first-place votes and 888 points from a panel of 100 media members and a fan vote to easily beat Houston’s James Harden, who had 22 first-place votes and 753 points. Kawhi Leonard was third with nine first-place votes and 500 points.

Westbrook succeeded Stephen Curry, who had won the past two MVP awards. The point guard who plays with defiance on the court got choked up during an acceptance speech in which he brought some teammates onto the stage with him.

The Thunder went 33-9 when he had a triple-double, riding Westbrook’s record run into the playoffs in their first season after losing Kevin Durant to the Golden State Warriors.

“Oscar, guys like him, Magic Johnson, those guys, obviously I wasn’t able to see those guys play, but just to look back at history and see the things that they did, it’s something that I looked up to as a kid,” Westbrook said.

Earlier, Milwaukee’s Malcolm Brogdon became the first player not picked in the first round to win NBA Rookie of the Year in the common draft era, beating out Philadelphia’s Dario Saric and Joel Embiid.

Brogdon was the No. 36 overall selection out of Virginia. The common draft era began in 1966.

“I think it’s an example for guys that are told they are too short, they are not athletic enough, they are not real point guards, they are not real shooting guards,” Brogdon said. “I just think it’s an important message for people to see, and it can be done.

It just takes a lot.”

Teammate Giannis Antetokounmpo won the Most Improved Player award.

Houston coach Mike D’Antoni won his second Coach of the Year award, and the Rockets’ Eric Gordon was Sixth Man of the Year after setting a record for most 3-pointers off the bench in his first season as a reserve.

“Obviously I’m just proud of the team and the way they responded all year. Great organization,” D’Antoni said of the Rockets’ 55-win season.

“This is not an individual award. This is a lot of people, a lot of hard work goes into it, and I’m the recipient of some pretty good players.”

In his first season coming off the bench, Gordon set a single-season record with 206 3-pointers by a reserve.

He averaged 16.2 points to help fuel the Rockets’ run to the surprising No. 3 seed in the Western Conference and edged former NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala of Golden State by 32 points.

Golden State’s Draymond Green won the Defensive Player of the Year, ending Leonard’s two-year run.

Leading the league in steals from his do-everything role with the NBA champions. He had a franchise-record 10 steals in a Feb. 10 game at Memphis while recording the first triple-double in NBA history without scoring in double figures, adding 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

Cubs hold on after Nationals rally for four in ninth

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Katie Camp had two hits and scored a run in the Raiders’ 2-0 win over North Polk on Monday in Alleman. CMB won the Heart of Iowa Conference title after the win.

Third-ranked Raiders win second straight HOIC title

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

ALLEMAN — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Abbey Kahler is saving her best performances of the season for the stretch run.

Kahler twirled her best game of the season in the pitching circle Monday, shutting down Class 2A North Polk on the road during the Raiders’ 2-0 victory.

Kahler allowed three hits in the shutout and struck out nine and walked none in leading 2A No. 3 CMB to its second straight Heart of Iowa Conference title.

The Raiders are now 14-1 in the HOIC with one conference game remaining.

“Abbey threw probably her best game of the year,” CMB coach Troy Houge said. “It was a pressure filled game and she rose to the occasion.”

Kahler, who had two hits and an RBI at the plate, got some de-

fensive help in the first inning.

Kahler gave CMB a 1-0 lead with a two-out RBI single in the first. The hit scored junior Katie Camp, who singled and got into scoring position with a stolen base.

Her defense preserved the lead in the bottom half of the inning.

North Polk got a lead-off double. The Comets tried to tie with an RBI single, but the Raiders threw out the runner at home thanks to a great relay throw from Camp in left field to freshman Holly Jessen at third to sophomore Hannah Caple at home.

North Polk (16-11 overall, 10-4 in the HOIC) threatened against Kahler again in the sixth thanks to a CMB error.

With runners on second and third and one out, Kahler threw out a runner at home after fielding a suicide squeeze bunt.

CMB added an insurance run in the top of the seventh.

Caple hit a one-out single and then her courtesy runner, sophomore Emma Husak, scored on an RBI double by her sister, freshman Abby Husak, who was celebrating a birthday.

Kahler improved her pitching record to 10-5 and she now has 127 strikeouts in 89 1/3 innings.

Abby Husak joined Kahler with two hits and an RBI, and Camp had two hits, one run and one stolen base.

CMB, which continues to play without two starters, won its seventh straight game.

The Raiders (24-5) play 1A No. 11 Colfax-Mingo at 7 p.m.

Tuesday in Colfax. They finish the regular season at South Hamilton on Wednesday.

Russell powers Colfax-Mingo to win on Senior Night

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Amy Russell led her team to an easy home win Monday over Montezuma on Senior Night.

Russell, playing in one of her final regular season games at the school, had four hits at the plate, crushed her ninth home run of the season and got the win inside the pitching circle during an 11-1 victory over the Bravettes.

The Class 1A No. 11 Tigerhawks grabbed an early lead and never looked back in improving to 22-8 on the season.

They are still tied for third with Lynnville-Sully in the South Iowa Cedar League standings at 11-4.

Russell finished 4-for-4 at the plate with three RBIs and three runs scored. She is now hitting a team-best .530 on the season.

The home run she hit in the first inning was Russell’s ninth of the season, which pulls into a four-way tie for second in 1A. Russell’s teammate, junior Rhiannon Haley, also has nine home runs.

Russell’s three RBIs brings her to 44 on the season, which ranks third in 1A. Haley is second in 1A with 45.

The Tigerhawks plated two runs in the first inning. Junior Ries Wilson led off the frame with a double and scored on Russell’s blast to left field.

Colfax-Mingo went up 8-0 after two innings following a sixrun second inning.

Sophomore Delaney Underwood drew a one-out walk and then sophomore Chelsea Russell walked with two outs.

Wilson’s second double of the game scored Underwood and then senior Alivia Haley belted a two-run double.

Russell’s RBI single scored Alivia Haley to make it 6-0. Two Montezuma errors made it 8-0.

The Bravettes committed three

WASHINGTON (AP) — After a nail-biting victory over the NL East leading Washington Nationals, Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon still cringed to consider what could’ve happened.

He almost found out after the Nationals scored four runs in the ninth before Wade Davis struck out big league batting leader Ryan Zimmerman with runners on second and third to blunt a comeback bid, and Cubs preserved a 5-4 victory in the opener of a four game series Monday night “To play so well and not win that game, that would have been awful,” said Maddon. “That would have been tough.”

In jeopardy of being shut out for the first time this season, the Nationals’ comeback began against Hector Rondon and continued when Davis became the Cubs’ eighth pitcher of the game.

With Washington down 5-3, Bryce Harper’s single and third hit of the game loaded the bases with two outs. Davis threw a wild pitch that scored a run before striking out a swinging Zimmerman, who’s hitting .344. The final pitch bounced, and catcher Willson Contreras zipped a low throw to first baseman Anthony Rizzo to close out the victory.

“We pitched really well but arguably one of our best pitchers had the roughest night,” Maddon said. “The add-on runs in the ninth inning were large once again.”

Said Zimmerman: “He’s been one of the best in the game for a while and he still is. I had one good pitch to hit, and usually that’s all you get against guys like that.”

Contreras hit a leadoff home run in his first career game-opening atbat and Eddie Butler (42) worked five scoreless innings to keep the Cubs ahead.

Gio Gonzalez (7-2) allowed a run and two hits, striking out eight over six innings in his sixth start. Afterward, he was more excited about his offense’s comeback.

“We were kicking (butt) in the ninth inning, giving them something to bite their nails about,” he said. “We were fighting all the way until the end and showed that (we have) a stronger way of thinking from last year to this year.”

Rizzo began the day in a 2-for-20 rut, so Maddon moved the big first baseman out of the leadoff spot and put another unlikely hitter there. It paid off immediately when Contreras hit his eighth homer, a drive about 10 rows deep into the seats in left.

Chicago made it 2-0 on Albert Amora Jr.’s squeeze bunt single in the eighth.

The Cubs scored three more in the ninth, capped by Javier Baez’s two-run double. The shortstop struck out three times before singling and scoring on Amora’s squeeze.

“He came back with two knocks,” Maddon said. “That’s beautiful.”

Minors Setback: Kyle Schwarber not surprised about Cubs’ demotion

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo senior Amy Russell had four hits, three runs and three RBIs at the plate and got the win in the circle during an 11-1 win over Montezuma on Monday night.

errors in the game.

Colfax-Mingo added two more runs in the fourth. Russell and Rhiannon Haley had backto-back singles to start the inning.

Sophomore Mackensie Brown drove in Rhiannon Haley with an RBI single and sophomore Colbee Cunningham came around to score after Montezuma threw the ball to the infield.

The Bravettes (12-12 overall, 7-8 in the SICL) avoided the mercy rule after five innings with a single run in the fourth.

Colfax-Mingo did end the game after six innings though.

Russell singled to start the frame, Brown walked with two outs and Underwood hit a walk-off RBI single to finish it off.

Eight of the Tigerhawks’ 10

hits came from the first four batters in the lineup.

Wilson had two doubles and scored two runs. Alivia Haley had two RBIs and Brown had two RBIs and two walks.

Russell improved to 14-3 in the circle after allowing one earned run on three hits with four strikeouts and four walks in four innings. She now has 125 strikeouts on the season.

Cunningham did not allow a run or a hit, and she struck out one in the final two innings.

Colfax-Mingo, which has won six straight games, hosts 2A No. 3 Collins-Maxwell/Baxter at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Colfax.

DES MOINES (AP) — Slumping slugger Kyle Schwarber said Monday that he’s not surprised the Chicago Cubs demoted him, saying “the numbers spoke for themselves.”

Schwarber’s October return following a knee injury helped fuel Chicago’s first World Series title in 108 years, but he was sent down to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday after hitting .171 in 64 games this season.

Schwarber joined Iowa in time for Monday’s home game against New Orleans, where he hit third and played left field. He was 1 for 4 in a 1-0 victory.

The 24-year-old said the Cubs haven’t given him a timeline for a return to the majors.

“A demotion is a demotion. That’s obviously something that you don’t want to have, and it ticks you off a little bit,” Schwarber said in his first public comments since being sent down. “You can’t press, you can’t do anything like that. You’ve got to go back to what made you successful in the first place.”

Schwarber last played for Iowa in 2015, when he hit .333 in 60 at-bats

to convince Chicago he was ready for the big leagues.

Schwarber went on to hit 16 home runs in 69 games for the Cubs that year, helping them advance to the National League Championship Series.

Schwarber then had his 2016 season derailed by a major knee injury in the first week of the season, but he returned to get seven hits in the World Series.

“It’s part of the game.

You’ve got to learn how to fail to be the best. A lot of good players have gone through this,” Schwarber said.

Though Schwarber had 12 homers and 28 RBIs for the Cubs, his batting average is the lowest in baseball among qualified hitters by 20 points. Schwarber has also struck out 40 times in his last 129 at-bats — and he’s hitting .143 against left-handers.

Schwarber said he’s focused on simplifying his approach at the plate during his stint in Iowa.

“I’m not here to try to change everything.

I want to stay myself. I want to get back to myself, and be confident while doing it,” Schwarber said.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Lynnville-Sully baseball stays atop SICL Hawk softball keeps pace with win over BGM

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Lynnville-Sully defeated BGM 8-1 Monday, claiming the edge in the South Iowa Cedar League baseball title race. The Hawks moved to 13-2 in conference play, just ahead of idle Colfax-Mingo (12-2), which plays BGM Tuesday night.

It was a home SICL sweep for Lynnville-Sully as the softball team beat BGM, 7-4, to keep pace with Colfax-Mingo in the softball standings.

BGM was third at 10-3 in the SICL baseball standings going into Monday’s game with Lynnville-Sully. HLV was sitting fourth in the conference standings.

The Hawk baseball team hung up

six runs on the scoreboard in the first inning against BGM. That was all the lead Tyler Van Zante needed. The senior pitcher threw six innings of one-hit, scoreless baseball for the win. He issued two walks and struck out nine Bear batters.

Josh Dunsbergen worked the seventh inning. He allowed one run on three walks and struck one batter out.

Lynnville-Sully (14-5) added two runs in the fifth on a two-run single

by Elijah Collins. Caden Dunsbegern and Carson Dunsbergen each had two singles in the game for the Hawks.

Corbin James doubled. Van Zante and Josh Dunsbergen each had a single.

Freshman Mallory Loftus was the winning pitcher for Lynnville-Sully.

She worked six innings, allowing four runs on eight hits and two wallks and struck out one. Eighth-grader Caitlin Alberts pitched the seventh inning.

Seniors Haley James and Brenna Lanser each had a double in the game.

Hitting a single apiece were Carson Fisk, Loftus, Shiloh Cunningham and Alberts.

The Hawk softball team improved to 16-9 overall.

Singer’s 12 Ks help Gators beat LSU 4-3 in CWS finals opener

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Florida got a dominant performance from Brady Singer, a big defensive play when LSU was threatening and just enough offense.

Now, after a 4-3 win in Game 1 of the College World Series on Monday night, the Gators are one win from their first national championship in baseball.

But with LSU all-time wins leader Jared Poche’ starting on Tuesday and first-round draft pick Alex Lange available if there’s a Game 3, the Tigers believe this best-of-three series matching Southeastern Conference rivals is just getting started.

“We’ve got to play better if we want to win this thing,” Florida coach Kevin O’Sullivan said. “It’s not near over. We got six hits tonight, and Brady had to pitch his tail off.

It’s exciting to have Game 1 under our belt ... but we haven’t crossed the line yet.”

LSU’s Greg Deichmann said he and his teammates haven’t had their confidence dented. Poche’ (12-3) will pitch against Tyler Dyson (3-0) on Tuesday night.

“We’re not hanging our heads about anything,” he said. “We had a lot of great stuff we did tonight.

We had a couple of tough breaks that didn’t go our way. We’re going to come out tomorrow with a lot of positivity, energy and get after it.”

Singer struck out a career-high 12 in seven innings before turning the game over to closer Michael Byrne,

Baseball Continued from Page 1B Stanton allowed six hits, walked one, hit a batter and struck out two.

He also went 2-for-4 at the plate with a single and a triple. Arguello had two singles.

Hitting a single each were Trevor Ergenbright, Vanderlaan, Cazett and

who picked up his nation-leading 19th save for the Gators (51-19). The Gators improved to 19-7 in one-run games.

Singer relied on his fastball the first time through LSU’s batting order and cleverly mixed in sliders the rest of the way.

“I felt like I was landing it a lot more for strikes than I usually do,” he said. “The slider did feel good.”

His strikeout total was the highest by a single pitcher in a CWS finals game. Singer (9-5) limited LSU (5219) to three singles before Antoine Duplantis homered in the sixth.

Singer, who pitched a complete game in an 8-1 win over LSU in March, turned in his second strong performance at the CWS. The sophomore struck out nine and allowed one run in seven innings against Louisville last Tuesday. Monday marked the eighth straight game that Florida pitchers struck out 11 or more.

“My feelings are that we went up against who I believe to be maybe the best pitcher I’ve seen in the SEC for an opponent since I’ve been the coach at LSU,” Tigers coach Paul Mainieri said.

“I think the guy will be the first pick in the draft next year, and we were having to piece it together with our bullpen guys. It was amazing we were right there and had a chance to win.”

Singer left with a 4-2 lead after Deichmann doubled leading off the eighth.

Roush.

Vanderlaan, who left Friday’s game at Pella with soreness after 20 pitches, was back to form on the mound in Monday’s opener. He notched a complete game but took the loss, giving up just one earned run. Vanderlaan walked one and struck out seven.

“Trey threw well. We had some defensive flaws in that one inning,” Brisel said.

Newton got on the scoreboard first.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Lakin Jenkins gets under the ball and bloops a single to the outfield during one of Monday;’s games against visitng Norwalk. The Cardinals and Warriors each won a game at Newton’s Berg Middle School field.

Softball Continued from Page 1B Newton struck with two gone on a single by Ryan, a passed ball and a single by Maher.

Maher allowed five hits — one was a solo home run by Alyx Witt in the fifth — walked three and struck out five for the pitching win.

Newton had one error.

Anna Coyle pitched as well for Newton in the opener. She gave up five hits, walked two and

struck out five, but the Cardinals committed three errors defensively and stranded seven base runners offensively.

The Cardinals scored a run in the third inning. Jenkins reached on a one-out Warrior miscue and came home on a single by Karley Leiker.

Norwalk took advantage of one of the Newton errors in the fifth inning.

With two on and one out, Miranda Hughes doubled in both runs.

Karley Leiker and Ryan each had two base

Ergenbright was hit by a pitch and Stanton moved him to second on a sacrifice bunt. Vanderlaan singled in the run.

Norwalk used a Newton error to push across the tying run in the second inning. The Cardinals responded with a run in their half of the frame.

Ryan Barr singled with Keith Steinbach going in as a courtesy runner.

Cazett delivered a sacrifice bunt which

was followed with a single by Logan Wolfe. Roush’s fielder choice chased home Steinbach.

The Warriors tied the game up in the third. In the fourth inning, Norwalk benefited from three Newton errors. The first one was on a fly ball to right center field when Newton center fielder Brennen Dodd and right fielder Logan Wolfe collided on the play.

Dodd was shaken up but stayed in the game at the time. He would later leave the lineup in the bottom of the inning and did not play in the second game.

With two on, Vanderlaan struck out the next two Warrior batters. A Norwalk single sandwiched between two more Newton errors allowed two runs to score.

Newton had base runners in several of the late innings, but couldn’t break through to score. The Cardinals kept the Warriors from scoring any more.

In the top of the seventh, Newton had back-to-back diving catches by Stanton at second base and Leal in center field.

Wolfe was 3-for-3 at the plate for Newton with three singles. Vanderlaan had two base hits and Barr singled.

Newton is 6-22 overall. The Cardinals are 4-13 in LHC action. They host Pella Christian for Senior Night on Wednesday. The LHC varsity game is at 7:30 p.m. at Eversman Field in Woodland Park.
