Inmate aids prison staffer after another inmate’s attack NEWTON (AP) — Authorities say an inmate helped a prison staffer after the staffer was assaulted by another inmate at the Iowa prison in Newton.

The Iowa Corrections Department says inmate John Watson assaulted the staffer around 9 a.m. Wednesday. The other inmate aided the staffer until other prison workers arrived to help.

The staffer was taken to a hospital for treatment and then released.

The department says Watson has been in prison since February 2014 for robbery and burglary convictions in Pottawattamie County.

Justin Jagler/Daily News The Newton YMCA recently expanded its wellness area to include more strength-training equipment and improve the overall flow of the facility.

Free admission to Newton YMCA next week

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News Jasper County residents can use the Newton YMCA free of charge from July 5 through July 9, as the facility celebrates the Fourth of July.

The Independence Day giveaway will allow locals to use everything that’s available to YMCA members, including new cardio and strength equipment, indoor track, two gyms, swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, steam rooms, weight room and fitness classes.

“We’re thrilled with all the great changes we’ve made to our facility this past year, and we’re excited to

show the community what a wonderful place the Newton YMCA is,” said Associate Executive Director Rhonda Robson.

The Newton YMCA recently wrapped up some major renovations, including redoing the guts of the pool, adding exercise equipment in an expanded wellness area, installing new soundboards in the big gym and adding another fitness studio.

The building, which first opened in 1976, also completely redid its lobby bathrooms, expanded its storage space and installed new private changing rooms.

New members can also

take advantage of a special $10 first-month fee if they sign up the week of the holiday. A special fitness class schedule is set for the week, too, with the newest LesMills BodyPump release launching Saturday, Robson said.

The Newton YMCA will be closed Monday and Tuesday, but there is still a 5:15 a.m. boot camp with Chad Robson scheduled for Monday at H.A. Lynn Stadium, weather permitting. Boot camps with Chad at the YMCA are also scheduled for Wednesday and Friday mornings at 5:15 a.m.

Shaw Media, owner of the Newton Daily News, has purchased the Monroe Legacy from Kathleen and Al Darrach, both parties announced this week. The sale will be effective Saturday.

The Monroe Legacy — formerly the Monroe Mirror Newspaper — has been reporting local news in Monroe, Reasnor and Otley for 144 years. It’s been operated by the Burman family for the last 67 years, with Kathleen (Burman) Darrach as editor/publisher for nearly three decades.

“It has been a real pleasure serving Monroe as editor and publisher for 27 years,” Darrach said.

“The Monroe newspaper, having been in the family for 67 years, made the decision to sell the Monroe Legacy a difficult one.

Surgeries have proven to us that it is time we have more flexibility and are able to have nights and weekends off of work while continuing with our other ventures.”

Newton Daily News Publisher Dan Goetz will also serve as publisher of the Monroe Legacy.

“We are looking forward to serving the Monroe community,” Goetz said.

“Kathleen and Al Darrach have served Monroe well by publishing a great community newspaper for many years, and we look forward to continuing that tradition.”

Shaw Media is the third-oldest continuously owned and operated family newspaper company in the nation. In addition to the Newton Daily News, Prairie City News and Jasper County Tribune, it operates newspaper properties in suburban Chicago, northern Illinois and southwestern Iowa.

Mike Mendenhall has been editor of the Prairie City News and Jasper County Tribune since April 2014 and will lead the editorial staff at the Monroe Legacy. The team includes reporter and Monroe native Jamee Pierson, graphic designer and long-time Prairie City resident Dana King and reporter and Newton resident Anthony Victor Reyes.

“In our coverage of the PCM school district, we’ve already come to know many fantastic people in Monroe,” Mendenhall said.

“Monroe readers can still expect to see familiar faces out and about reporting the news and working with costumers. I look forward to carrying on Kathleen and Al’s momentum, and expand the Legacy’s coverage of people, events and news in this great town.”

The number and location of downtown city handicapped parking spaces is currently under review by city council. Council passed the first reading of an ordinance adding spaces to city parking lots and removing a space due to an insufficient access aisle.

“Staff received a request to improve handicapped parking in the city owned parking lot located at the northeast corner of First Street South and South Second Avenue East,” city administrator Matt Muckler said.

The Traffic Safety Committee discussed the handicapped parking spaces in the downtown area, finding, as a part of the summer paint program, two additional handicapped

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Friday, June 30, the 181st day of 2017. There are 184 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 30, 1997, the Union Jack was lowered for the last time over Government House in Hong Kong as Britain prepared to hand the colony back to China at midnight after ruling it for 156 years.

On this date: In 1859, French acrobat Charles Blondin walked back and forth on a tightrope above the gorge of Niagara Falls as thousands of spectators watched.

In 1892, small frogs rained down on Moseley, England, south of Birmingham.

(According to an account quoted in the U.S. Agriculture Department’s Monthly Weather Review for May 1917, the frogs, described as “almost white in color,” were found “scattered about several gardens” and had “evidently been absorbed in a small waterspout” during a storm.)

In 1936, the Civil War novel “Gone with the Wind” by Margaret Mitchell was first published by The Macmillan Co. in New York.

In 1963, Pope Paul VI was crowned the 262nd head of the Roman Catholic Church.

In 1966, the National Organization for Women (NOW) was founded in Washington, D.C. In 1977, President Jimmy Carter announced he had decided against production of the Rockwell B-1 bomber, saying it was too costly. (However, the B-1 was later revived by President Ronald Reagan.)

In 1985, 39 American hostages from a hijacked TWA jetliner were freed in Beirut after being held 17 days.

Ten years ago: Two men rammed an SUV loaded with gasoline canisters into the main terminal at Glasgow (GLAS’goh) Airport in Scotland, failing to set off an explosion, but seriously burning one of the suspects; the attack came a day after two cars rigged as bombs were found and defused in London.

Five years ago: Islamist Mohammed Morsi became Egypt’s first freely elected president as he was sworn in during a pair of ceremonies. An international conference in Geneva accepted a U.N.-brokered peace plan calling for creation of a transitional government in Syria, but at Russia’s insistence the compromise left the door open to Syria’s president being a part of it. Former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir died at age 96. Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan became the first player in a Grand Slam tournament to win every point of a set on her way to beating French Open runner-up Sara Errani 6-0, 6-4 in the third round of Wimbledon.

One year ago: Saying it was the right thing to do, Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced that transgender people would be allowed to serve openly in the U.S. military, ending one of the last bans on service in the armed forces. President Barack Obama signed a rescue package for financially strapped Puerto Rico, which was facing more than $70 billion in debt and a major payment due the next day. Rodrigo Duterte was sworn as president of the Philippines.

That’s Odd Oops: Court says man won’t get mistaken $2.7M severance PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — Well, it was a nice try.

The Michigan appeals court says in a ruling released Wednesday that a man who was mistakenly told that he would receive a $2.7 million severance can’t collect the windfall.

Francois El-Hayek was laid off from Trico Products in suburban Detroit in 2014. He was told that he would receive about $81,000 a week for 34 weeks.

But it was a mistake. Trico says the document should have said El-Hayek would get a total of roughly $81,000.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A photo of U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts has some people seeing double over the two men’s remarkable resemblance.

Cruz tweeted the photo of the two posing with the World Series trophy in Washington on Wednesday while the team visited the White House.

Some Twitter users were quick to note how similar the two men’s faces appear. One user joked that he tried Snapchat’s face swap feature on the photo and nothing happened.

Cruz weighed in on the conversation himself, joking that people “keep insulting Tom by saying he looks like me. Poor guy.”

This isn’t the first time the Republican’s looks have been compared to a sports figure. He alluded to his resemblance to Duke basketball star Grayson Allen on Twitter earlier this year.

Local & State News Council Continued from Page 1A Ground Breaker Homes has already successfully developed five homes in the Fairmeadows North subdivision over the past three years.

The developer has proposed a variety of home styles for both the single-family and townhome units.

Ground Breaker would guarantee at least three units are under construction at all times, starting this year, and has requested a purchase guarantee from the city for a $25,000

payment for any speculative homes that do not sell within six months of completion. By approving the Ground Breaker proposal now, it allows the company to start marketing the lots for home sales while the final subdivision details are being completed.

The city purchased the 4.25 acres for $106,000 in March 2016.

City council will also consider the sale of three former D&D Program lots located at 1400, 1404 and 1500 E. Sixth St. S. The lots have been cleared of the dilapidated structures and are now available for re-

Also on the agenda is the third reading of an ordinance increasing the sanitary sewer rates in Newton. The proposed increase is 5 percent per month.

The increased rates will be used to help fund several capital projects that are needed to meeting Iowa Department of Natural Resources permit requirements including an estimated $900,000 ultra-violet disinfection treatment project at the plant.

Iowa utilities join forces to promote road safety over” laws, but only 12 states specifically protect utility service vehicles.

This expanded law is designed to protect motorists and Iowa’s utility workers who are at high risk while performing their duties on Iowa’s roadways. Motorists can face penalties for violating the law, such as receiving traffic tickets or having their driver’s license revoked.

Starting today, Alliant Energy, the Iowa Association of Electric Cooperatives, the Iowa Association of Munici-

Vacation vs. stay-cation

So Anyway Dana King

Editor’s note: This column originally published July 1, 2016 uch like any kid during the last few days of the school year, my mind is struggling to stay on task.

I have some vacation days in my very near future and although I don’t actually plan to go anywhere, I’m anxious for my “stay-cation” to begin.

(I have a throbbing in my leg. Hope it’s not a blood clot.)

I have tentative plans for my time away from the office. I say “tentative” because I certainly don’t want to commit to anything I may not be in the mood to do when the time comes.

(A chocolate ice cream cone right about now would be awesome!)

I need to strip wallpaper in my dining room and the one remaining wall

in my living room. But that was on my list last year during some time off. So ... yeah.

(Why is it, just when I think the world is going great for my kids and they’re all happy at the same time ... one of them has to hit a speed bump in life? Never fails.)

The hubby’s three-days off during my week away from the office fall on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and I told him not to be deciding on places for us to go. He seems to think I need to be entertained and we need a change of scenery when on vacation.

For me, that couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m a homebody through and through. Just give me my porch swing, my Kindle and my coffee.

Call me boring. Call me dull. Call

M

me routine. What I actually am is content.

(Our water bill didn’t increase as much as I was expecting after turning the sprinkler on the garden so often.

Oooh ... I can’t wait for my tomatoes.)

When we were raising our family, it was exciting to pack up the camper, leave our jobs and worries behind and take off for what was sure to be a week of stress-free fun and plenty of adventure. Well, isn’t that what we all think BEFORE we leave home?

(I need to convince the hubs it’s time to rip out the carpeting and install new flooring on the main floor at home. Oh, new furniture too!)

Let me tell you a little about one of our family vacations ... most notably, our “vacation from hell.”

Without going in to great detail, it involved blowing a tire on the camper near No-wheres-ville, somewhere in Missouri and having to put on the spare tire on the side of Interstate 35, only to have our spare do the same

thing several miles further down the road. We limped our way to a motel in Chillicothe, Mo., where we ruined the freshly asphalted parking lot at a Comfort Inn when our Jeep leaked gas all over the new pavement. My distraught hubby had to not only find a new tire for the camper but also locate and have a new gas tank delivered to the motel. He then had to crawl underneath the vehicle in 95 degree heat to change it himself, because it was quicker than waiting on an appointment at the car dealership.

To be honest, I’m not sure where we even went that year. But the two-day journey to travel those first 150 miles, I’ll never forget.

(I’m not sure I would enjoy riding a roller-coaster anymore. Used to love them, but now, I’d probably end up at the chiropractor’s office.)

Yep, a stay-cation is just what I need and I can’t wait to get started.

Unavoidable Truths Connie Schultz

No recess for the American public On Tuesday, public outrage forced the Republicans to postpone their vote to gut the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid.

Two hours later, I stood with a loved one in an emergency room in small-town Ohio and got an earful from the nurse taking care of him.

The nurse, with more than 20 years in the profession, had spent the workday running nonstop and hadn’t heard the news. When I told her, she was relieved — and outraged.

“Thank God,” she said. “They have no idea.” She pointed out toward the row of other examining rooms.

“Those senators? They have no idea what we’re dealing with here.”

She was talking about the opioid epidemic.

She was also talking about her daughter.

“We’re one of the lucky ones,” she said. “My daughter was addicted, but she survived — and went to prison.”

She waved off my sympathy. “No. She’s 32 years old, and this was the best thing to happen to her. She’s clean now and doing so much better. She told me, ‘Mom, I’m so glad I have a roommate who doesn’t want to date me or kill me.”

Others, she said, are not so fortunate. She sees those addicts every week. Many of them live — thanks to an emergency dose of Narcan, an opioid antidote — but they are often ungrateful for the rescue.

“They’re mad that we pull them down from their high,” she said, shaking her head. “We can’t keep them here. We can’t force them into treatment. As soon as they’re stabilized, they storm out of here.”

Until next time. Many of them return, of course. Not all of them survive.

Without Medicaid insurance, more of them will die.

The Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit organization that focuses on major health care issues in America, offers sobering numbers about our growing opioid epidemic.

A few snapshots: In 2015, more than 2 million people in America were addicted to prescription opioids, and another 591,000 were addicted to heroin.

Between 2002 and 2015, opioid deaths tripled.

Medicaid covers a range of treatment services for more than 650,000 non-elderly adults with opioid addiction. This is in the states that expanded Medicaid coverage. Of the 26 states with an above-average rate of opioid overdose deaths, eight have not done so.

If you don’t remember any other statistic here, please commit the following to memory for the next time someone tries to tell you the opioid epidemic is someone else’s problem: Between 2000 and 2014, opioid-related inpatient stays increased by 64 percent. Opioid-related emergency department visits increased by 99 percent.

That ER statistic — that’s the one all of us should be citing: Opioid-related emergency department visits increased by 99 percent.

It is impossible to believe that congressional Republicans don’t know this, if for no other reason than the polling that shows a tsunami of public opposition to Donald Trump’s flippant notions of health care reform.

It is equally impossible to believe that Republicans don’t see through Trump’s willful ineptitude.

From Wednesday’s Page 1 story in The Washington Post by Philip Rucker, Robert Costa and Ashley Parker: “In private conversations on Capitol Hill, Trump is often not taken seriously. Some Republican lawmakers consider some of his promises — such as making Mexico pay for a new border wall — fantastical. They are exhausted and at times exasperated by his hopscotching from one subject to the next, chronicled in his pithy and provocative tweets. They are quick to point out how little command he demonstrates of policy. And they have come to regard some of his threats as empty, concluding that crossing the president poses little danger.”

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Trump on Cuba: If Obama did it, it’s bad There’s a lot to say about Trump reversing some of the Obama administration’s policies on Cuba. The White House recently announced it was banning individual travel to the island and further restricting what business Americans can do there.

Yes, there’s a lot to say, but I wonder if there’s any point in saying it. After all, most Americans want to relax the embargo on Cuba. Even most Republicans disagree with Trump on Cuba, polls show.

That requires a bit of explanation. America has a longstanding embargo on Cuba, preventing the U.S. from selling much of anything there. The policy traces back to the Cold War. The economic harm to the island resulting from the policy is obvious when one sets foot in Cuba.

When I visited in 2010, life had gotten better for Cubans since the hardest times in the early 1990s. Still, life was difficult. Meat was a luxury for Cubans. Milk was only rationed to young children. I bought a handmade dress for $15, a handsome sum to a Cuban but a pittance to me.

Obama didn’t end the embargo. It’s still in place.

What Obama overturned were other Cold War-era measures.

He restored diplomatic relations with Cuba and relaxed a travel ban on U.S. citizens visiting the island.

The only way I was able to visit Cuba in 2010 was with a special government permit, and by going for business instead of pleasure. The U.S. government also limited how much I could spend there. And, of course, I couldn’t bring any Cuban rum or cigars home.

I’ve traveled all over on five different continents. In college, I spent an entire summer in Chi-

Another View Jill Richardson na, a Communist country with a bad human rights record — quite a bit worse than Cuba’s, arguably — that the U.S. is on perfectly good terms with, thank you very much.

Yet I’ve never been hassled, searched, and investigated as much upon my return home as I was when I came back from Cuba.

On the way out, I had to first fly to Cancun and then board a second flight the next day to Cuba. On my return, I was questioned, searched, and scolded until I nearly missed my connecting flight.

The hypocrisy was jarring.

Why is the U.S. on good terms with China but not Cuba?

After Obama relaxed America’s anti-Cuba policies, you could literally fly Southwest to Havana.

I think the best comment on Trump’s policies came in the form of a satirical “news” article: “President Trump Orders the

Execution of Five Turkeys Pardoned By Obama.” No, not really. It’s a joke. But it exposes the motives and sentiments behind many of Trump’s actions.

In part, Trump is probably working to secure the hard liner Cuban vote in Florida by undoing Obama’s Cuba policies.

But more than that, Trump wants us to believe that Obama made America a “mess.” To show us what a great president he is, Trump wants us to believe that everything was awful before him — so bad that it required Trump to make it “great” again, by undoing obvious boons like Obama’s mild Cuba reforms.

If Obama did it, it’s bad.

Therefore Trump will do the opposite. Yet he has no interest in understanding complex issues that cannot be solved easily. Health care, ISIS, and North Korea come to mind — and now Cuba, too.

To Trump, trying to understand the complex background of America’s relationship with Cuba is superfluous, since Trump himself doesn’t understand it.

Yet he’s hurting both Americans and Cubans in the process.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Suicide rate among older men is overlooked tragedy

DEAR ABBY: My elderly father’s dearest friend committed suicide yesterday. He shot himself in the head.

The family wasn’t even aware that he was depressed. Dad has lost three wonderful friends this way in recent years.

He’s heartbroken thinking that his buddies were secretly suffering.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the rate of suicide for men 70 and older in the U.S. is more than double the overall suicide rate.

Yet, with all of our suicide prevention efforts, this high-risk group seems to be ignored.

How can we help prevent these tragedies? What are the signs of depression in older men? And what can families do if they suspect depression in “Dad,” “Gramps” or “Uncle John”? Thank you for any help you can provide. — VAN IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR VAN: Please convey to your father how sorry I am for his loss.

I think the first thing people have to remember is that men in general do not manifest depression the way women do because women are more open about sharing their feelings. Men, particularly older men, were not raised to do that because they were taught that expressing emotion was “weak,” so they stay silent. And men who were once breadwinners, active and vital, can become depressed when they retire.

Among the RISK FACTORS are: -- Having lost a wife or significant other; -- Being alone and isolated; -- Concern about being a burden; -- Substance abuse (alcohol or prescription drugs); -- Firearms in the house.

SIGNS TO LOOK FOR include: -- Lack of energy; -- Lack of motivation; -- Less interest in eating or getting out of the house; -- Loss of interest in activities the

person once enjoyed.

A common mistake people make is thinking these things are happening because a person is old. If you observe a change in someone’s behavior, it is all right to ask the person what’s going on. Keep in mind that people who feel connected are less likely to harm themselves. Isolation is the enemy. Visit them, or take them out so they won’t feel alone.

It’s also important to help seniors meet others they can relate to, particularly if their friends are dying off. A senior center can provide a place to socialize and meet new people. Exercise is important, too, and many senior centers provide exercise facilities.

Equally important is volunteering.

Older men are valuable assets to the community and should be encouraged to regard themselves that way. They have a lifetime of experience to offer, which should not be wasted. By helping these men get and stay connected, you could actually be saving a life.

A final thought: As people age, they often have physical problems that are associated with depression. (Heart disease is one.) If you need advice about how to approach someone about your worries, an excellent resource is the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

The toll-free number is 800-273-8255.

Decades after devastating fire, Iowa warily allows fireworks ADEL (AP) — On a scorching day 86 years ago, a dropped sparkler ignited an inferno that roared through much of the small city of Spencer, Iowa, and led to a statewide fireworks ban that endured for generations.

Fireworks have since become legal in most of the country and Iowa legislators voted this year to end the bans. But with the Fourth of July approaching, officials in many cities are resisting fireworks sales and prohibiting people from setting off newly legal bottle rockets, firecrackers and roman candles.

“They’ve made it really tough,” said Todd Wallace, who gave up on plans to sell fireworks from a tent in a grassy field on the edge of Des Moines. “There would be no impact on anybody, but the city said, ‘no can do.’”

Many Iowa officials remain keenly aware of the blaze that engulfed about 100 buildings in Spencer on a 97-degree (36-degrees-Celsius), windy June day in 1931, when a fire started by a sparkler at Bjornstad’s drugstore quickly spread.

Iowa lawmakers were prodded to end the ban by polls showing support for legalizing fireworks, the prospect of $1.5 million annually in sales tax revenue and the conclusion that if 43 other states allowed consumer fireworks, Iowa should join in.

Cities are supposed to allow the sale of consumer fireworks, comprised of products with more pop

AP Photo In this June 15 photo, a no smoking sign is seen in an Iowa Fireworks Company tent, in Adel, Iowa. Decades after a devastating fire caused by a dropped sparkler led Iowa to ban fireworks, the explosives are now legal in the state. But fireworks retailers and people eager to set off the explosives are finding that many local officials remain keenly aware of that fire so many years ago.

and sizzle than sparklers but much smaller than professional displays. Some communities have passed restrictive zoning rules, outlawed fireworks use or limited the crackles and bangs to just a few hours on the Fourth.

Des Moines technically abided by the new law’s sale requirement, but limited retailers to industrial areas and required that temporary tents be broken down and the inventory removed for six hours each day.

“It’s virtually impossible in Des Moines,” said Zach Terhark, co-owner of the newly created Iowa Fireworks Company, which has started selling fireworks from tents in more than a dozen spots across the state.

Among Terhark’s loca-

tions is a tent in the small community of Adel, which is 25 miles (40 kilometers) from Des Moines but still one of the closest spots to the state’s largest city.

The sales restrictions and limits on setting off fireworks have left state Sen. Jake Chapman exasperated.

“If you listen to the opponents of this law, you’d think everyone is going to die and the whole state is going to burn down,” said Chapman, who was among the strongest supporters of the legislation.

Chapman doesn’t begrudge cities from outlawing the use of fireworks, but he argues local officials are violating state law by creating barriers to selling the explosives. If cities persist, Chapman said the Legisla-

ture might take up the issue next year to specifically outlaw such restrictions.

Some vendors also are taking action. The nation’s largest fireworks wholesaler asked a judge to block the sales restrictions in Des Moines.

“The city’s pretty dramatic action left us little option” said Tim Coonan, a Des Moines lawyer who is presenting Alabama-based American Promotional Events.

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger denied the company’s motion for a temporary injunction which would have forced the city to allow fireworks sales in locations other than industrial areas on the city’s outskirts.

Red Cross disaster workers respond to storms across Iowa DES MOINES — The American Red Cross responded to storms across the state last night.

Storm damage was reported in Fremont, Jones, Linn and Marion Counties with disaster responders in each location working to provide care and comfort to displaced families. Disaster workers also provided drinks and food to 65 responders at the scene in Linn County.

Today, Red Cross disaster responders are in Prairieburg working with the Salvation Army to provide food to affected families. A Red Cross emergency response vehicle is driving through storm-damaged neighborhoods, delivering food, water, and clean-up supplies such as bleach, mops, gloves, rakes and shovels.

As with any disaster, preparation can be the difference between life and death. The Red Cross recommends that individuals and families prepare for tornadoes by: • Downloading the free Red Cross Tornado App to your mobile device.

The Red Cross tornado app includes a high-pitched siren and warning alert that signals when a tornado warning has been issued, as well as an all-clear alert that lets users know when a tornado warning has expired or has been cancelled. The app also includes tips on how assemble an emergency kit for your family in the event of a power outage or evacuation, an “I’m Safe” button to let loved ones know you are okay, and a real-time map to help you find the location of Red Cross shelters should you need to leave your home.

The app has a Spanish language toggle switch and can be downloaded by visiting redcross.org/apps.

• Creating and practicing a home tornado plan. Pick a “safe room” or uncluttered area without windows where family members and pets could seek shelter on the lowest floor possible. The safest place to be is an underground shelter or basement.

Iowa DNR law enforcement conducting special boating while intoxicated enforcement project DES MOINES — As the Fourth of July holiday approaches, the Iowa DNR law enforcement officers will be focusing on keeping boaters safe by cracking down on boating under the influence. The DNR will be conducting heightened awareness and enforcement of boating under the influence laws as part of the national Op-

eration Dry Water campaign in hopes to decrease the number of crashes and deaths.

From June 30 through July 2, law enforcement nationwide will be looking for impaired boaters as part of Operation Dry Water weekend. Boaters will notice an increase in the numbers of officers on the water and at rec-

reational boating checkpoints. This effort will result in the removal of impaired operators, providing a safe and enjoyable experience for boaters this boating season. “As a part of the community ourselves, we want to ensure that recreational boaters, paddlers, and anyone enjoying our waters have a safe place to spend their time on the water, “ says Jeff Swearngin, DNR’s law enforcement bureau

chief. “Alcohol impairs judgment and reaction time on the water just as is does when driving a car, even more so because of the added stressors of sun, heat, wind, and noise on a boat. Choosing to consume alcohol while boating puts everyone at risk, including passengers and people in the water. Our goal is to remove anyone choosing to operate a vessel impaired and to keep everyone else safe.�

Tips to staying safe on

the water this summer: • Boat sober. Alcohol use is the leading contributing factor in recreational boater deaths (2015 U.S. Coast Guard Recreational Boating Statistics). Alcohol and drugs use impairs a boater’s judgment, balance, vision and reaction time. • Wear your life jacket. Eighty-five percent of drowning victims were not wearing a life jacket (2015 U.S. Coast Guard Recreational Boating Statistics). • Take a boating safety education course. Seventy-one percent of deaths occurred on boats where the operator did not receive boating safety instruction, where instruction was known (2015 U.S. Coast Guard Recreational Boating Statistics).

Operating a vessel under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal on all bodies of water and can lead to serious injuries and consequences. In Iowa, it is illegal to operate a vessel

BY THE NUMBERS in 2016: • The Iowa DNR law enforcement made 46 Boating While Intoxicated arrests. • Thirty-three percent of boating fatalities in Iowa involved alcohol (2 of the 6 fatalities) • During Operation Dry Water 2016, 102 Iowa DNR law enforcement officers spent 98 hours making contact with 776 vessels, interacting with 2,201 boaters, arresting 10 people for Boating While Intoxicated, and issued 227 citations/warnings.

with a BAC level of .08 or higher — the same as it is to operate a vehicle. If you are found to be impaired and operating a boat you will be arrested.

Visit operationdrywater.org or www.iowadnr. gov/Things-to-Do/Boating for more information about boating under the influence.

Newton soccer players earn state honors

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News One final time Josh Ventling and Ryanne Rausch carried the banner of Newton High soccer onto the pitch.

The two NHS seniors played in the 2017 Iowa EastWest All-Star Cup soccer games earlier this month at Valley StadiFischer um in West Des Moines.

The All-Star Cup games were the hosted by the Des Moines Menace. The Iowa High School Soccer Coaches Association organizes Freese the cup for boys and girls games, which are presented by Soccer Master.

Ve n t l i n g , Rausch and fellow Newton senior soccer Shipley players Ashlee Freese, Taylor Shipley and Justin Fischer earned statewide honors to wrap up their final season for the Cardinal soccer teams.

The Iowa Girls Coaches Association released their 2017 All-District and All-State soccer teams. Rausch, a forward, was named to the IGCA Class 2A All-State first team after garnering second-team honors as a junior.

Freese, Newton’s three-year starting goalkeeper, received 2A All-State second team honors.

Rausch, who became Newton girls’ all-time leading scorer with 110 goals, also earned IGCA All-Central District

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High seniors Ryanne Rausch, left, and Josh Ventling, right, were selected to play in the 2017 Iowa High School Soccer Coaches Association’s Iowa East-West All-Star Cup soccer games. Rausch scored twice for the East squad in the girls’ game on June 24, and Ventling had a goal for boys’ East squad in the June 17 game. The two NHS players earned all-state honors.

first-team honors. Freese and Shipley, a mid-fielder, were named to the Central District second team.

Ventling received 2017 2A All-State second-team honors from the Iowa High School Soccer Coaches Association.

He earned honorable mention honors as a junior. Fischer garnered 2017 IaHSSCA 2A honorable mention honors.

Unfortunately, after repeated attempts to obtain the 2017 IaHSSCA Girls’ AllState teams, the Newton Daily News does not have that information as of press time.

Rausch, Freese and Shipley helped lead Newton’s girls to back-to-back 2A state tournament appearances.

The Cardinal girls finished 13-5 and ranked 14th in 2A. Rausch became the alltime career scorer for Newton girls’ soccer and reached the

100-plus career goal total this season. After leading the Cardinals, the conference and 2A in scoring the past two seasons, Rausch concluded her four-year career with 28 goals this season. She was second in goal scoring in the Little Hawkeye Conference and tied for fourth in 2A. Rausch finished with 110 career goals and is among a handful of girl soccer players in Iowa to reach the 100-career goal mark. She led the Cardinals in scoring and was second in assists with six, which was ninth-best in the LHC. Rausch earned first-team LHC honors three years straight and was a second-team selection as a freshman.

Freese made 163 saves in 18 games, including the 1-0 loss in the state tournament to Lewis Central, which repeat-

Pitch count violation forces C-M baseball to forfeit final SICL game Newton Daily News A violation to the state’s mandated new pitching count policy forced the Colfax-Mingo baseball team to forfeit its Wednesday night win over North Mahaska on Thursday.

The Tigerhawks won the game 9-1 and the win would have clinched a share of the South Iowa Cedar League title. Instead, Colfax-Mingo finishes one game back of Lynnville-Sully in the final standings because junior Jonathan Jacobs threw too many pitches over a two-day period.

Jacobs threw 18 pitches to get the

Sailing — not a Midwestern sporting event L

iving my whole life in landlocked Kansas, right smack in the middle of the United States, it might be hard to believe I take notice of the America’s Cup competition. The past four and a half years of my life has been spent here in Iowa — still landlocked in the middle of the country — and I still found time to read about the race.

The 2017 America’s Cup sailing race wrapped up last weekend in Bermuda.

For those who might not know, the America’s Cup is a sailing competition and is known as the oldest trophy in international sports.

The last competition was in September 2013. I wrote about my interest in the America’s Cup just before

save in a win over BGM on Tuesday.

He then came back to toss 106 pitches in the complete-game win over North Mahaska on Wednesday.

That two-day total of 124 violates the Iowa High School Athletic Association’s new policy, which states that a player may not throw more than 110 pitches over the course of two consecutive days.

Colfax-Mingo’s 9-1 victory over the Warhawks now goes down as a forfeited loss in the standings, which means Lynnville-Sully is the outright conference champion at 14-2. Colfax-Mingo ends its conference season at 13-3.

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets they set sail in 2013. Then defending champion Oracle Team USA made a great comeback to keep the trophy in America.

Not so in 2017 as New Zealand took command of the seas in the Bermuda Triangle, beating Oracle Team USA 7-1 with Emirates team New Zealand.

Probably the one thing which was disappointing to me after I found out the American’s boat didn’t win was the fact there were no Americans on Oracle Team USA’s crew. The crew included five Australians and one member from Antigua.

I guess software billionaire Larry Ellison, owner of Oracle Team USA, can hire whomever he wants to for the crew. Me, I would want some USA guys on there representing my country.

ed as 2A champion. She allowed 14 goals and had eight shutouts in goal for the Cardinals.

Shipley led the team in assists with a seven which tied her for seventh in the category among LHC players. Shipley, who earned LHC honorable mention as a junior, scored five goals.

Ventling, who played mid-fielder for the Newton boys, had 13 goals and eight assists for Newton, which was second for the team. He was the eighth on the Little Hawkeye Conference scoring list and tied for seventh on the assist list.

Ventling was a four-year all-conference player in the LHC. He was a first-team all-conference mid-fielder two years straight.

Fischer led the team with 17 goals and nine assists.

Fischer, who will play for Central College next year, was the third-leading scorer in the LHC and tied for fifth in assists. He was a first-team LHC forward for the Cardinals.

On June 17, Ventling played on the East squad in the boys’ Iowa East-West All-Star Cup game. He scored the lone goal for the East in regulation play.

After a 1-all tie, the West won in a shootout (4-3) for the 2-1 victory.

On, June 24, Rausch scored two of the girls’ East team’s three goals in a 4-3 loss to the West in the Iowa East-West All-Star Cup game.

Her second goal at the 65th minute put the East in front 3-2 but the West tallied two more goals for the win.

Area Class 1A, 2A baseball teams learn district pairings

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News District pairings for Iowa Class 1A and 2A high school baseball teams are set.

For the four area teams, postseason play begins July 8 and July 11.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Prairie City-Monroe are in 2A District 14 and Substate 7. CMB plays Ogden at 5 p.m. July 8 as the opener of a doubleheader hosted by Roland-Story in Story City.

The winner plays 2A eighthterest with the America’s Cup? Blame it on Dennis Conner and his Liberty in 1983. In that year’s America’s Cup, an Australian team beat Liberty in a deciding seventh race, taking the Cup away from the New York Yacht Club for the first time in 132 years.

Conner came back in 1987, representing the San Diego Yacht Club.

Conner’s Stars and Stripes team reclaimed the America’s Cup in the race Down Under in four races. New Zealand used a loop hole and demanded an immediate challenge in 1988.

All of this was being played out on television for the American public.

Losing the Cup, winning it back and defending it was the big rage during this span. The drumming of national pride was beating out there.

In that 1988 race, two different styles of boats raced. New Zealand had a 90-foot waterline boat against a much smaller, faster hard-winged catamaran of Conner’s American team.

Changes came to the America’s Cup — the America’s Cup Class of boats with more modern design.

ranked Van Meter at 7 p.m. on July 11 in Van Meter.

PCM awaits the winner of the July 8 quarterfinal between Roland-Story and Woodward Academy.

PCM plays at 5 p.m. July 11 in Van Meter.

The 2A District 14 title game is at 7 p.m. July 15 in Van Meter. The district champion advances to the Substate 7 final at 7 p.m. on July 18 against the District 13 champion at Marshalltown.

DISTRICTS | 2B I just was drawn to something new.

The America’s Cup drew a lot of attention throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

How much interest was there? Well, the 1992 movie “Wind” was based on events surrounding the America’s Cup during that span.

In 1992, a boat by American billionaire Bill Koch won the right to defend the Cup for America, then beat Italy.

Then, in 1995, Conner was back at the helm of Stars & Stripes defending the Cup and lost it to New Zealand. Not until the Oracle won the Cup in 2010 was an American yacht in the America’s Cup final since 1995.

I’ve covered college women’s rowing for a couple of feature stories. That’s as close as I’ve come to a sailing story.

I’m open to covering non-traditional sports. I did stories on a national chess tournament once.

I do draw the line at water bottle tossing or fidget spinner competitions.

So, here’s to just sailing and relaxing.

Raiders lose early lead then game to first-place Saydel

NEW SHARON — Not even five home runs was enough for the Colfax-Mingo softball team during a South Iowa Cedar League loss to North Mahaska on Thursday.

The Class 1A No. 11 Tigerhawks blew a two-run lead in the final inning because of two miscues, and the Warhawks handed Colfax-Mingo a 1211 road loss to end South Iowa Cedar League play.

Despite the loss, Colfax-Mingo still clinches the SICL West Division title.

The Tigerhawks and Lynnville-Sully both finished 11-5, but Colfax-Mingo won the division title because of two head-to-head wins.

The Tigerhawks-Warhawks game Thursday was a completion of Wednesday’s suspended game. To be able to play the game before the regular season ended, Colfax-Mingo’s scheduled doubleheader with Moravia was canceled.

Colfax-Mingo led 1-0 in the first inning when the game was postponed due to weather.

The game featured a combined 30 hits.

Sophomore Colbee Cunningham hit her third and fourth home runs of the season, and seniors Amy Russell and Alivia Haley and junior Rhiannon Haley all homered once.

Russell and Rhiannon Haley now have 10 home runs this season, which is tied for second in Class 1A. Kee’s Kendra Cooper leads 1A with 12.

The Tigerhawks (22-10) took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when junior Ries Wilson singled and scored on a Russell single.

Colfax-Mingo went up 5-0 with a

Devin Porter hit his state-leading ninth home run of the season for Saydel, and Kemp the Eagles’ 3-4-5-6 hitters combined for nine hits, seven RBIs and 10 runs.

CMB (3-18 overall, 2-13 in the HOIC) scored two runs in the first, two in the third and two in the fourth, but Saydel (23-4, 12-2) stayed in first place in the HOIC after a big rally.

The Raiders scored six runs on six hits, committed two errors and left eight on base.

Saydel had 16 runs on 14 hits, committed four errors and stranded four on base.

Senior Brady Kemp had two hits, an RBI and three runs for the Raiders, who have lost six straight games.

Senior Tucker Maxwell had one hit, one run and one walk, senior Creighton Caple collected one hit and scored two runs and freshman Carter Nelsen walked once and had one RBI. Kemp started on the mound and allowed six earned runs on seven hits with one strikeout and one hit batter in 3 2/3 innings.

Caple took the loss, allowing four earned runs on two hits with one walk and two hit batters in one-third of an inning.

Lindemoen threw the final two-thirds of the game, allowing five runs — no earned — on five hits with one walk.

four-run third inning. Wilson singled and Alivia Haley walked in front of a Rhiannon Haley two-run single. Cunningham hit her first home run of the night to give the Tigerhawks a five-run lead.

North Mahaska plated five runs off Russell in the bottom of the third to tie the game. The Warhawks (13-13 overall, 10-6 in the SICL) took the lead off Cunningham with a single run in the fourth.

Colfax-Mingo regained the lead with three runs in the fifth. Alivia Haley smacked a lead-off home run and then Rhiannon Haley crushed a oneout solo home run to put the Tigerhawks up 7-6. The Tigerhawks added to their lead when Cunningham hit her second home run to go back-to-back.

North Mahaska used a lead-off home run in the fifth to help tie the game after five innings.

In the sixth, the Tigerhawks scored three more runs to regain the lead.

Eighth-grader Madison Gilkison, sophomore Chelsea Russell and Wilson had consecutive singles.

Wilson’s single scored Gilkison, but a double play halted momentum for a moment. That was until Amy Russell blasted a two-run home run to make it 11-8.

Amy Russell came back into the circle after North Mahaska led off the bottom of the sixth with a double and a single.

The Warhawks only scored one run though as Amy Russell retired the home team with a strikeout and two groundouts.

Colfax-Mingo started the top of the seventh with back-to-back singles by Cunningham and sophomore Mackensie Brown, but another double play halted the threat and North Mahaska got out of the inning without any runs scoring following a fly out.

Leading 11-9, Amy Russell got the first two Warhawks by ground out in the bottom of the seventh inning.

North Mahaska kept the inning alive with a double and then another batter walked to put two on with two out. The next batter struck out but reached base on a dropped third strike. One run scored on the play to make it 11-10.

The Warhawks loaded the bases with a single, and the home team scored the walk-off win when the Tigerhawks committed a two-run error in the outfield.

Amy Russell (14-4) took the loss in the circle. In her 4 2/3 innings pitched, she allowed eight runs — five earned — on seven hits with two walks and four strikeouts. Cunningham allowed four earned runs on nine hits with three stikeouts in her two innings.

Cunningham led the Tigerhawk offense with three hits, two home runs, three RBIs and two runs. Wilson also had three hits and scored three runs.

Rhiannon Haley and Amy Russell both had two hits and three RBIs. Rhiannon Haley scored two runs and walked once. Alivia Haley scored two runs, too.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MORAVIA — A three-run first inning gave the home team an early lead, and the Colfax-Mingo baseball team never recovered during a 6-2 non-conference loss to Moravia on Thursday night.

The Tigerhawks got within a run after scoring twice in the fourth, but Moravia (20-6) plated two in the fifth and one in the sixth to pull away.

Astrograph

The moon enters Libra, the scales, and then antagonizes the sun by keeping score at too micro a level. Winning isn’t always the point. Playing the game will increase awareness, empathy and appreciation regardless of who wins. Is that enough for you? If not, dig in; this could take a while. No one gets to win who doesn’t stay in the game.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 30). It’s a pivotal moment in your story. In a country of opportunity, much is possible. Reasonable health is all the good fortune you need to create five exciting outcomes over the next 12 months. Some you’ve been working on for

years; two are brand new.

Helpful partners will share your stellar attitude. October brings a windfall. Libra and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 2, 22, 28 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Your mind is working on something important. Cut out artificial noise and false imagery. Solutions are more likely to be inspired from weathered wood, cracks in the pavement and clouds than from a glowing screen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Today’s problem will bring minds together. There’s a riddle to solve, a code to break

or a puzzle to piece together.

Good teamwork will open the gates to a wonderland.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Most people are afraid to admit what they don’t understand, for fear of being alone in mystification. Be courageous enough to speak up and you’ll not only learn; you’ll enlighten others who are too timid to voice their confusion.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

How can you keep from being led astray by charismatic leaders acting out of greedy self-interest? Question everything. This isn’t the same as cynicism. Cynics assume the worst. Be a fact-checker, not a cynic.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Our minds run on images. Images

641-792-5320

change thought; thoughts make real things happen. Illusions may not have the same properties as things that actually occur in the physical world, but that alone doesn’t make them unreal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Because you care about helping things grow, you’ll go to great lengths to learn the unique environment conducive to growth for each thing you want to help. It will take patience, an open mind and an enthusiasm for experimentation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

When the foundation is strong, the building will weather the storms and changes. You can apply this to a project you’ll start from scratch. Unfortunately, it won’t help the one

with the foundation laid long ago.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Marcel Proust suggested that the only paradise is paradise lost. But was that paradise really so idyllic? If it seemed so heavenly at the time, you wouldn’t have risked it all for the proverbial apple.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You look at the same thing as the next person and see something entirely different.

The world needs your point of view. Maybe you’re not ready to share your thoughts yet, but work on them so you can share soon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Be kind to their dreams.

If they’ve given up hope, hold on for them. To keep the light

of faith for another person is a rare and precious gift of friendship. It also reminds you to hold on to your own dreams.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Don’t defer it until tomorrow.

Yes, tomorrow will come, but how do you know you’ll suddenly be in the mood to do the thing? You won’t. Do it now, while you’re also not in the mood. Show “the mood” who’s boss.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

If you’re not worried about it, it means you’re wise, lucky or both. “A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.” -Henry David Thoreau COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM
