Cardinal Ridge lots sold to Ground Breaker Homes developers

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Fourth of July Parade Grand Marshal Dave Ratliff waves to the crowd as he begins his ride. Ratliff was selected by the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce after receiving a nomination from Emma Morris.

Fourth of July celebration great time for the city

Cardinal Ridge subdivision has found a developer in Ground Breaker Homes, of Clive. City council approved the sale of the 13 lots for $345,000 at its Monday meeting.

“It is exciting to be moving forward into an agreement where we have a company that will be building quality townhomes into this Cardinal Ridge subdivision, get that kicked off and have those available for people to purchase,” community development director Bryan Friedman said.

The subdivision, located at 1200 S. Sixth Ave. W., will be broken

into nine single family townhome lots sold at $25,000 each and four twin home style lots sold at $30,000 each.

Home prices would be projected to range from $225,000 to $300,000.

An estimated three to five townhomes would be started and potentially finished in 2017.

Ground Breaker plans to have three to five “doors” under construction at any given time.

After one would sell, the next would start, whether it is a speculative or custom built home.

Ground Breaker also will furnish at least one finished model unit at any given time for sales purposes.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Red, white and blue lined the parade route in downtown Newton as the Fourth of July celebration kicked off Tuesday morning.

Along with the parade, the home run derby, sand volleyball tournament, kids zone play area, evening entertainment and, of course, the fireworks display filled a full day of holiday fun.

Lasting more than an hour, the parade was filled with colorful floats, tractors and plenty of candy for the crowd. Entertainment including clowns, gymnast flipping on a float and several water guns providing cool relief from the heat made the parade one of a kind in Newton.

Taking first place in the float competition was the Centre for Arts and Artist with its colorful Flip Book to Animation display.

‘I almost broke into tears’ 4-H Hall of Famer, husband named Jasper County Fair grand marshals

By Anthony Victor Reyes Newton Daily News COLFAX – Since she was 8 years old, Kellogg resident Jeannie Boettcher loved going to the Jasper County Fair. She loved presenting her 4-H projects.

She loved spending her nights camping at the fairgrounds. She loved watching the grand marshals wave to the crowd from the lead car during the parade.

Now at age 74, Jeannie has attended the county fair every single year since 1982. She said after all this time, she is still in love with it.

“From opening day to closing day, I make new memories every year.

Watching the kids be happy is what is good for me,” the Jasper County product said. “My kids and my grand kids just know how much I love the fair. I included them all the way through.”

This year, Jeannie and her husband, Jim, were chosen to be Jasper County Fair’s Grand Marshals. The 74-yearold said the news of their selection simply took her breath away.

“We were on our way to Wisconsin when I got the call from (Jasper County Fair President) Doug Woebbeking.

When he told me, I almost broke into tears on our way up. I was just overwhelmed with emotions,” she said. “It

is an honor that I never expected.”

Since the age of 9, Jeannie has been involved with the 4-H program as her parents served as leaders of the program.

She joined the Atomic Starlets for one year and became a member of the Jolly Workers 4-H club until she graduated high school. She encouraged her children to be involved with 4-H and was heavily involved herself.

“Growing up on a farm and at that age in my life, we didn’t have a lot of school activities.

So 4-H was my whole social life,” Jeannie said.

She joined the fairboard in 1994, serving as the group’s assistant superintendent, superin-

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Wednesday, July 5, the 186th day of 2017. There are 179 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 5, 1947, Larry Doby made his debut with the Cleveland Indians, becoming the first black player in the American League three months after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in the National League. In the game against the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park, Doby, pinch-hitting for Bryan Stephens, struck out in his first at-bat during the seventh inning; Chicago won 6-5.

On this date: In 1687, Isaac Newton first published his Principia Mathematica, a three-volume work setting out his mathematical principles of natural philosophy.

In 1865, the Secret Service Division of the U.S. Treasury Department was founded in Washington, D.C. with the mission of suppressing counterfeit currency.

In 1946, the bikini, created by Louis Reard, was modeled by Micheline Bernardini during a poolside fashion show in Paris.

In 1954, Elvis Presley’s first commercial recording session took place at Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee; the song he recorded was “That’s All Right.”

In 1977, Pakistan’s army, led by General Mohammad Zia ul-Haq, seized power from President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. (Bhutto was executed in 1979.)

In 1984, the Supreme Court weakened the 70-year-old “exclusionary rule,” deciding that evidence seized in good faith with defective court warrants could be used against defendants in criminal trials.

In 1991, a worldwide financial scandal erupted as regulators in eight countries shut down the Bank of Credit and Commerce International. Actress Mildred Dunnock died in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, at age 90.

In 2011, a jury in Orlando, Florida, found Casey Anthony, 25, not guilty of murder, manslaughter and child abuse in the 2008 disappearance and death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.

Ten years ago: In a setback for President George W. Bush, GOP stalwart Sen. Pete Domenici withdrew his support for the president’s Iraq war policy and embraced a proposal to bring home most troops by March 2008. French opera soprano Regine Crespin died in Paris at age 80.

Five years ago: Trucks carrying NATO supplies rolled into Afghanistan for the first time in more than seven months, ending a painful chapter in U.S.-Pakistan relations that saw the border closed until Washington apologized for an airstrike that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.

One year ago: The FBI recommended no criminal charges for Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, but Director James Comey’s scathing criticism of her “extremely careless” handling of classified material revitalized Republican attacks.

President Barack Obama heartily vouched for Hillary Clinton’s trustworthiness and dedication, making his first outing on the campaign stump for his former secretary of state with an appearance in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Today’s Birthdays Singer-musician Robbie Robertson is 74. Julie Nixon Eisenhower is 69. Rock star Huey Lewis is 67. Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Rich “Goose” Gossage is 66.

That’s Odd Motorcycle lover to be buried in his Harley sidecar STEEL CITY, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania man who loved motorcycles and recently died is taking one last ride.

Family members say 89-yearold Steel City resident Arthur Werner Sr. made plans way ahead of his death from cancer Sunday to be buried in the sidecar of his 1990 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail.

LehighValleyLive.com reports he found a funeral home run by motorcycle enthusiasts who were more than able to comply.

Heintzelman Funeral Home has three motorcycle hearses in its fleet.

David Heintzelman says the funeral home doesn’t even have to modify the sidecar to make it happen.

Werner will be in the sidecar for Thursday’s viewing and will be buried in it Friday.

Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about today: 1. WHY NORTH KOREA IS REVELING IN ITS ICBM LAUNCH As North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vows to never give up missiles or nuclear weapons and North Korean state media exults, this time the accomplishment might actually match the overthe-top description.

2. HOW THE WORLD IS RESPONDING TO NORTH KOREA The dangerous new reach for weapons Pyongyang hopes to top with nuclear warheads one day is spurring U.S. demands for “global action” to counter the threat.

3. WHAT AWAITS TRUMP AS HE RETURNS TO EUROPE The president could get a friendly welcome in Poland ahead of a G20 summit, despite lingering skepticism across the continent over his commitment to NATO, his past praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his decision to pull the U.S. out of a major climate agreement.

Entertainment Chestnut defends title, gobbles down record 72 hot dogs NEW YORK (AP) — Joey “Jaws” Chestnut gulped, chomped and powered his way to a 10th title on Tuesday, continuing his record-setting reign as the chowing champion at the annual Nathan’s Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest.

Shoving water-soaked buns and wriggling franks into his mouth on a hot, sunny day on the Coney Island boardwalk, he downed 72 dogs and buns in 10 minutes to beat his own record and hoist the Mustard Belt for a 10th time. The San Jose, California, man bested upand-comer Carmen Cincotti, of Mays Landing, New Jersey, who ate 60 franks and buns on his 24th birthday.

Miki Sudo notched a fourth straight win in the women’s competition. The Las Vegas woman ate 41 hot dogs and buns to beat Michelle Lesco of Tucson, Arizona, who downed 32

During the men’s competition, five people were taken into custody for trying to disrupt the event, police said. The people appeared to be attempting to unfold a black banner before police stopped them and took them away.

but spokeswoman Tricia Lebkuecher said the people arrested inside weren’t affiliated with PETA. Chestnut has dominated the chowdown throwdown for years, eating 70 franks and buns last year to top his then-record and take back the title from Matt “The Megatoad” Stonie. The 25-year-old Stonie came in third on Tuesday, with 48 franks and buns.

“There’s no secret, I love to eat, and I love doing it, I love to win, so I had to figure out my body and push it to the limit,” a sweating Chestnut said after his win.

The 33-year-old said he’d hoped to down even more dogs but was leaving feeling good.

Cincotti said he’d eaten a thousand hot dogs since May in preparation for his second try at the Mustard Belt. Getting to even second place is “surreal — I grew up watching this contest,” he said.

Meanwhile, the women’s side has featured a yearslong rivalry between Sudo and record-holder Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas, of Alexandria, Virginia. Thomas, who’s 50, came in third on Tuesday with 30 dogs and buns, well shy of her record 45.

Sudo told ESPN she “just came back better than ever” this year. She’s 31; Lesco is 33.

“Everything went really well,” chamber executive director Amanda Price said. “We had a great turn out to watch the more than 100 entries in the parade.”

As activities wrapped up in downtown Newton, events revved up at Agnes Patterson Park with the inaugural home run derby and sand volleyball tournament. More than 90 participants signed up to compete in the derby, making it a very successful first year.

“Turn out is phenomenal,” organizer Matt Holmes said.

“We have a lot of kids involved, a bunch of adults, it is going really

well.”

Hoots, hollers and a few cat calls, mainly on the adult side, could be heard at the derby as competitors worked to send their ball over the fence. Spectators also lined the fences to watch the derby and cheer the players on as they gave it their best.

“If the turn out remains like this, I want to continue the derby next year,” Holmes said. “She put

The homes are estimated to be between 1,414 square feet and 1,764 square feet without a finished lower level. Six ranch options ranging from $250,000 to $300,000 and two townhouse options ranging at $225,000 have been suggested for the subdivision. At this time, nothing specific has been planned for the subdivision but Ground Breaker would like the city’s and the Newton Housing Development Corporation’s input.

“We anticipate a very high quality product and will set a really nice tone to kick off development in this Cardinal Ridge area,” Friedman said.

The estimated time line for the entire project is two and a half to three years. The projected time to build one home would be five to six months.

With the purchase, the city will waive building permits and at the lot closing of any lot intended for speculative purposes, the city will give a $25,000 non-refundable option money per unit. The option would be for six months after the CO was issued, giving Ground Breaker Homes time to market the unit. Also, the non-refundable deposit on speculative homes is only non-refundable in the event that the home does not sell within six months after the CO is issued.

The city also agreed to pay the builder’s construction interest during build. Interest will be reimbursed after CO is issued and at time of closing of the house. Should the city exercise its ability to buyback the unit, the lot would not be paid for by Ground Breaker Homes.

Upon completion homes will be eligible for the $10,000 cash incentive and city package available for buyers.

Ground Breaker Homes in not new to Newton. The developer has successfully completed five homes between 2015 and 2016 in the Fairmeadows North subdivision.

“I am excited about this moving forward,” councilwoman Miranda Kulis said. “The proposal that was given of the homes and townhomes were absolutely beautiful and I think it is really going to fulfill a need in our community.”

The city purchased the 4.25 acres at the former Newton Country Club for $106,000 in March 2016. Infrastructure work at the location has been underway for the past several months.

“The 4-H model is to make the best better. It has made me better in a lot of ways, and I am trying to make the next generation better,” Jeannie said.

According to the 74-year-old, because of her heavy involvement and love for the fair, her husband naturally found himself spending a lot of time helping wherever he could as well.

“He is pretty much a jack-of-all-trades,” Jeannie said. “All the guys know, if they have a problem to give Jim a call and he will try to figure it out for them.”

Rhonda Guy, Jasper County Fair volunteer and organizer, has known Jeannie most of her life. She said Jeannie helped inspire her love for the fair, from her involvement with the 4-H children to her determination to participate in the first Jasper County Fair 5K this year.

“She is a big sister to me,” Guy said. “One of the things I remember the most, when I was a young teenager, I think

on there first annual so hopefully we can make it a tradition.”

As evening set in, crowds gathered to listen to Hard Left Turn and their rock and blues sound and prepare for the fireworks display. Sparklers, glow jewelry and plenty of laughter could be seen and heard all throughout Agnes Patterson Park as the sun set on the eventful day.

Although Guy was not involved with the selection process, she said Jeannie and Jim were easy choices for this year’s grand marshals.

“I think very highly of both of them. They are near and dear to us as a family and we do consider them family.”

Jeannie, who has been involved in the 4-H program most of her life, said the program has shaped her into the person she is today... from the activities that helped her acquire important life skills and public speaking to developing relationships.

“Sometimes I would have 4-H members who would leave after they were judged and felt bad because they didn’t get the ribbon they wanted. I would tell them, ‘Did you learn something when you made this project?’ Most of them would say yes,” she

said. “Then I would say, ‘When you are my age, you will remember what you learned. You won’t know where that ribbon is.’”

Jeannie said she and her husband are excited for this year’s festivities.

She can’t wait to share her memories of past fairs and generate new ones this year.

“One of the things that is going to be great this year is not only being grand marshal, but my great-grandson got to be in the baby contest and got a purple ribbon,” Jeannie said. “I’ve got so many memories. I couldn’t share them all.

I liked watching the kids grow up. It would warm my heart when they would say, ‘Good morning, Mrs. Boettcher.’ I feel like I added something to their lives.”

All for the fame I

Candidly Unfiltered Kayla Langmaid

f I get 20 or 30 likes on a photo on social media, I’m happy. Heck, I don’t care if I get way less than that.

I enjoy sharing life moments with my friends and family on social media because I have many people on there who I only get to see a few times a year. It’s a great way to stay in touch. However, I don’t use it as a way to measure how popular or how well-liked I am.

While watching the news last month, a headline popped up, “Minnesota woman charged with killing boyfriend in video stunt.” Originally I thought about the stunt devils who walk on ropes that are strung from one skyscraper to the next.

I also imagined a man attempting to juggle fire or even eat fire. Howev-

er, this “stunt” was much more horrific, and it was attempted by a couple of a careless young adults.

A 22-year-old guy was killed while holding a book up to his chest while his 19-year-old pregnant girlfriend shot him as their 3-year-old daughter watched. Stupid. Ludicrous.

There isn’t one justifiable reason I can think of that would make someone want to be shot at with just a hard-cover encyclopedia as their shield. The dare-devil insisted his girlfriend of six years participate in the stunt because they were both positive they would then reach 300,000 subscribers on their YouTube channel.

They believed the book might

stop the bullet. When the trigger was pulled, however, the boyfriend was shot dead. The girlfriend is now charged with second-degree manslaughter.

Family members of the man said he was always chasing a thrill and always putting a dangerous twist on everything. He even told his aunt that he wanted to use a gun because he wanted more viewers and he said, “we want to get famous.”

It is hard for me fathom how someone could want fame and followers so badly that they would attempt a stunt that would more than likely mean death. This guy wasn’t a real stunt devil, he didn’t have the training or experience.

He wasn’t a teenager so it is hard to blame his parents. The only person left to really blame is the girlfriend.

An hour before the shooting, the girlfriend wrote on her Facebook, “We are in the process of making Pedro a YouTube channel oh man is it

going to be sweet! LOL. All the crazy stuff will [be] on his channel and mine. Will be our family life!!!”

Yikes. That doesn’t sound like the “family” life to me. I don’t want to be too quick to judge, but maybe she should be putting her child first over fame, let alone put her boyfriend’s life first before fame.

It is scary to think about what will unfold next due to teens and young adults having the need to have views and likes on the internet. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of people harming themselves to become famous.

Is it a disease or mental illness? Or a sick obsession? Sometimes I think today’s young people would be better off without smart phones.

Plus, why can’t people just stick to using the internet for much more positive things, like finding recipes and looking up cat and dog videos.

Living and Dion Marc Dion

Make America great again for $2.60 an hour I was at an event in a local restaurant, notebook in hand, doing my job as a reporter on a midsized daily newspaper. The event was being held by the local anti-poverty agency, which runs a program employing income-eligible senior citizens to work at local nonprofit organizations.

The same agency runs the Foster Grandparents Program, which send seniors into schools and day care centers to read to, mentor and befriend kids.

The event is a breakfast. They throw the old people some ham and eggs. State representatives rise from the dais to praise the old people’s efforts. Best of all, there are raffles at the end of the morning, after the breakfast and the speeches. You get the red raffle tickets at the door. The tickets are free, and you could win a basket of brightly colored bars of soap, or even a CD player. It’s a hell of a deal if you’re 75 and you get maybe $900 a month in Social Security.

Of course, you could be one of the lucky old people who gets a pension, too. It’s mostly women at the breakfast, because the men are dead.

Forty or 50 years ago, there was a lot of garment manufacturing where I live. If you worked in a union shop, you earned a pension.

Twenty years ago, I interviewed an official in the now defunct International Ladies Garment Workers Union. He told me the average pension for one of his retired members was $110 a month.

The two programs for the old people limit you to 20 hours of work a week, and the pay is a $2.60 an hour stipend, which means you don’t have to pay taxes on it, which is a damn good thing.

I knew an old woman who worked for the program, answering the phone at the local public library. If you asked, she’d also help you find the bathroom, or the children’s room, or the romance section. The library was downtown, and had a public bathroom, so all the bums used to come in to use the toilet or take an improvised bath.

“That’s Jimmy,” she’d say to me, pointing out some swaying, dirt-caked bum on the street.

“He’s OK. He talks to me all the time.

“You can’t understand anything he says,” she told me. “He’s nice, though.”

One of the things about being working class is that, although you see the rich very seldom, you often see the very poor. They’re there to remind you of what you’ll become if you stop working, or go crazy, or drink too much, or use drugs.

If you’re working for $11 an hour, the bum on the street is a billboard that says, “Shut up and stay lucky and healthy, or this is what you get.”

And, of course, we hate the bum on the street, who forever seems to be chasing us, trying to get a hold of the edge of our skirt or the cuff of our pants, trying to pull us back from the haven of $11 an hour. It would make more sense if we hated the rich people, but they’re too strong to beat, so we find an enemy who can’t write us up, or fire us, or make us poor.

The politicians who spoke talked about possible cuts in the federal budget that would take away the 20 hours a week, and the $2.60 an hour, and the raffle tickets.

And it only makes sense to shut down this program because why the hell would anyone want to give $2.60 an hour to a room full of people who are almost bums?

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Student debt means fewer public servants — and more bankers

Cum laude, my diploma reads — “with honor.” But cum debitum, “with debt,” is a bit more accurate.

Collectively, America’s student borrowers owe $1.7 trillion. On average, each graduating senior this year is beginning their life around $37,000 in the hole.

That looks like a lot, but when you’re living with student debt, you look at that number and don’t even flinch. The debt is so normal it’s like an inside joke for pretty much everyone in my generation.

Except we’re the punch line.

I graduated class of 2015 from a private, liberal arts college — a “most selective” one, U.S. News and World Report assures me. It was also an expensive degree, Sallie Mae reminds me. Monthly.

Yes, I chose to go to a private, expensive college. There was a calculus there, and one part of it was “I liked the feeling of it.”

I know, this type of sentimental idealism is a privilege. It’s no surprise I came out with the equally sentimental notion that I wanted to do non-profit work — which makes it that much harder to pay those loan bills.

It’s baffling to my Filipino parents. They didn’t cross the ocean and consign themselves to discrimination and demeaning jobs because they liked the “feel of it” — or even on the promise that their lives would be better.

They did it on the promise that my life would be better. And that I wouldn’t owe anyone anything.

They could live underwater, they decided — but they at least expected their children to take a breath of fresh air. Well, sometimes it feels like the air is polluted. And the water is teeming with loan sharks.

So much so that some companies — among them many banks,

Another View Alyssa Aquino financial institutions, and other large for-profit businesses — have begun including student loan repayment assistance in their salary packages.

I have to admit it’s tempting, especially since the Trump administration wants to end a federal program that would forgive the student loans of people who commit to public service work.

What’s the alternative, after all?

Having a non-profit career in something you care about can require years of barely remunerated labor: an unpaid internship, volunteer work, a minimum-wage second job, or a salary that barely meets the threshold for a living wage.

Prioritizing a career in something you care about, in addition to paying rent and groceries, re-

quires consigning yourself to a debt you’ll live with until you have children. That is, if you have children — since you don’t want to deal with their student debt either.

It’s not surprising to me that some of my classmates decide to return to school — maybe if they add more letters to their degree they’ll magically land a job they’re passionate about with a salary that can pay the bills.

It’s also not surprising that some of my peers decide to join the other side, cashing in on connections and scooping up those high-paying corporate jobs. But what happens when you have a generation of people trained to enter the public service entering Wall Street instead?

What a loss.

This is just one facet of the student debt crisis — others include putting off starting a family or buying a home. Too many of us are saddled with debt, and too many of us are structuring our lives around this ledger.

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.

Widow reconsiders romantic overture from an old friend DEAR ABBY: This is something I can’t talk about in my grief support group. I’m a 70-year-old widow. I lost my dear husband of 35 years 17 months ago. I always was more sexual than he was. Since the funeral, I have had a one-night stand with a nice younger man, but it was a failure for me physically. Since then, I am leery.

Last night, a dear friend visited. He knew both of us for years. I had flirted with him last year, but nothing happened. Last night he came on to me. I was upset about my failure to perform with the nice young man, so I turned him down. Now I don’t know what to do.

If I sleep with him, will it destroy our friendship? Will I be able to keep him from becoming a major presence in my home? — WONDERING WIDOW DEAR WIDOW: Please accept my condolences for the loss of your husband. That your first experience after your husband’s death wasn’t all that you fantasized it would be isn’t unusual. Good sex is all about communication. It takes time for couples to adjust to each other and feel comfortable enough to talk frankly about their individual needs.

If you sleep with this old friend, I can’t see why it would destroy your friendship. You are both adults and, I assume, available. Sex with him may — or may not — bring you closer for a variety of reasons.

However, if you would not welcome someone becoming “a major presence in your home,” allow me to point out that it might be better not to go to bed with him. Once a door is opened, it’s not unusual for a guest to become comfortable and crave more “hospitality.”

DEAR ABBY: I am a mother of two, and I’m afraid the baby’s dad is with me only for them. He pays no attention to me unless he has something to complain about. When he does, he says hurtful things that make me cry and then he tells the kids to call me a crybaby. It’s almost as if he is trying to

turn them against me.

I want a relationship with him. I want love and attention, but I don’t know how to get it. Please help! — NOT WANTED IN THE EAST DEAR NOT WANTED: What your partner is doing is unhealthy not only for you, but also for your children.

He is emotionally abusing you, while at the same time encouraging those children to disrespect you and minimize your feelings.

For your sake — and theirs — you must not allow this to continue. If you do, they will think the abuse is normal behavior and perpetuate it in their own relationships when they are older.

Offer your partner the option of couples counseling to repair your relationship. If he refuses, go without him.

If you do, I promise you will find it enlightening. Please do not procrastinate, because his verbal abuse could escalate.

DEAR ABBY: Is there a way to respond to individuals who use swear words often and loudly in a public place such as a restaurant? Hearing the F-word used by people at the next table ruins my enjoyment of my meal. — OFFENDED IN THE WEST DEAR OFFENDED: I don’t advise you to approach the “offenders.” If you have a complaint, direct it to the manager of the restaurant, who can then inform the “F-worders” they are disturbing other patrons and to please keep it down. And if they don’t, ask to change tables and sit in a quieter section of the restaurant.

1 Baby suffers burns, fractures in Iowa fireworks explosion

IOWA CITY — A four-week-old baby and her mother suffered burns and serious injuries when fireworks exploded on them during an illegal Iowa show.

The Johnson County Sheriff ’s Office says 36-year-old Margaret Limkemann and her baby were injured when fireworks launched sideways instead of upward at a party Saturday in Swisher.

The projectile struck Margaret and exploded, catching fire. The mother attempted to remove the baby from her lap, tossing her onto a blanket.

The new design will replace the current white, blue and gray plates that were introduced in 1997.

A spokeswoman for the Iowa Department of Transportation says officials already have a variety of draft designs with city and country themes and ones that use the Iowa flag.

Department officials plan to focus on three to five designs as finalists before seeking input from the public.

Muckler credentialed by international organization Newton Daily News Matt Muckler, City Administrator of Newton, recently received the Credentialed Manager designation from ICMA, the International City/County Management Association.

Muckler is one of more than 1,400 local government management professionals currently credentialed through the ICMA Voluntary CredentialMuckler ing Program and one of 26 active government management professionals credentialed in the state of Iowa.

ICMA’s mission is to create excellence in local governance by promoting professional management worldwide and increasing the proficiency of appointed chief administrative officers, assistant administrators, and other employees who serve local governments and regional entities around the world. The organization’s nearly 10,000 members in 27 countries also include educators, students, and other local government employees.

To receive the prestigious ICMA credential, a member must have significant experience as a senior management executive in local government; have earned a degree, preferably in public administration or a related field; and demonstrated a commitment to high standards of integrity and to lifelong learning and professional development.

Muckler was appointed as the city administrator for the City of Newton in January of 2017. He was previously the city administrator for the City of West Branch, and the assistant to the town manager for Buckeye, Ariz.

Muckler also previously served as a state representative in the Missouri Legislature and as a Russian linguist in the U.S. Army. Matt received his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Saint Louis University and his master’s degree in public administration from Indiana State University.

Dubuque could pay $283K settlement to manufacturers DUBUQUE (AP) — Dubuque city leaders may end up paying more than $283,000 to 16 manufacturers that are seeking rebates on natural gas franchise fees.

The city council will review the proposed legal settlement on Wednesday.

City officials recommended that council members approve the settlement to end an ongoing lawsuit, more than three months after the Iowa Supreme Court declined to hear the city’s

appeal.

Council members passed a 2 percent natural gas franchise fee in 2003, which provided a rebate for companies exempt from taxes on natural gas used in manufacturing. The 16 companies argued they were unaware of the exemption until 2013, and filed a 2014 lawsuit claiming the city wrongfully withheld reimbursement on their utility bills dating back to 2009.

The city passed an ordinance the following month

that voided any retroactive claim for a refund of fees paid prior to July 1, 2013.

They also passed a requirement that companies file requests for rebates by June 30 in the fiscal year in which the franchise fee was paid, said Barry Lindahl, the city’s senior counsel.

The companies argued that the new city ordinance was a retroactive tax that violated their due process and equal protection rights.

A district court judge ruled in the city’s favor, but

the Iowa Court of Appeals overturned that decision in a 2-1 opinion.

Lindahl and Des Moines attorney Sean Moore, who represents the companies, said the settlement avoids additional time, effort and legal costs. Moore said the amount represents what the companies argued they were owed prior to the city ordinance change.

“The payout to my clients, it would have been the same had we gone to the hearing,” Moore said.

Company now owns 2 rare sewing machines WATERLOO (AP) — When Erik Lee purchased the Jerald Sulky Co., along with it came a 1902 Singer 67-1 heavy duty sewing machine.

The machine was one of just 15 built, and one of nine remaining across the globe.

He never dreamed he’d become the proud owner of two of them. There are six of the Singer machines in the U.S. — two of those owned by Lee — and three elsewhere in the world.

The machines are vital to the horse carriage production process. At around 1,500 pounds and nearly 5 feet tall each, they stitch through two pieces of leather with foam fillers in between, which become a carriage’s dashboard and fenders.

Lee understands the stakes of owning this equipment. If something were to happen to either of these sewing machines, “there’s no plan B,” he said. While there are other devices that can sew through leather, “We can’t find any machine with an aperture this big where

you can take the entire item you’re working on and stay on one unit.”

This means his machines are nearly priceless, needing careful maintenance of intricate, irreplaceable pieces. In fact, the only replacement parts he has came with the second machine in a wooden tool box. The box included some extra sewing needs, a bobbin and thread.

“From our perspective, this little, tiny box of needles is worth as much as the machine. If you run out of them, there’s no more and you’d have to custom fabricate them along with other parts,” Lee said.

Fortunately, the Singers are nearly indestructible, as was demonstrated with the one that came with the business Lee purchased.

The machine was manufactured in Waterloo. In the late 1930s, the manufacturing plant in downtown Waterloo where it was being stored caught fire. As the multistory building burned and the floors weakened, the sewing machine fell through

the floors from the uppermost level and miraculously landed on its feet in the basement.

Once the fire was put out and the embers cooled, the machine was lifted out by crane and transported elsewhere. Eventually, it was purchased by Jerald Sulky himself.

The second vintage sewing machine was ironically purchased on eBay after a curious employee gave Google a visit to search for a Singer 67-1 manual. Lee was conducting a maintenance check-up on the first machine, and the employee returned with a printout of another one for sale online.

A man in Fredericksburg, Va., was a retired farrier who owned a carrier restoration business on the side. He decided to completely retire and sell the machine.

“We weren’t looking for another one because we assumed there were exactly zero available in the marketplace, so to just trip over it is an amazing thing,” Lee said.

“To us, this is a big deal that

it is here in Waterloo.”

Lee and a few friends drove to Virginia to bring the machine home in a horse trailer. Fearful of its rarity, he bolted it to the trailer floor with eight industrial bolts to completely prevent any movement.

Now, both machines rest in his shop, producing carriage dashboards and fenders. The entire sewing process for these pieces takes around 15 minutes.

“I just love watching somebody sew on them. You get into that rhythm after a while and your whole body wants to move with it,” said Becky Norman, who has been working on and off with the company for nearly 20 years.

Lee said the machines were built by “engineering geniuses.”

“Just how they figured this stuff out and guided the movement and motion of this thing mechanically,” Lee said. “If you stop and watch the pieces move, it’s mesmerizing. They were absolute geniuses.”

Newton Talks: Beating dehydration in the summer heat

By Terri Walker, LBSW CareMore Community Outreach Manager As temperatures soar, warm weather activities can increase the risk of dehydration. Not getting enough fluids, especially when it is hot outside, can pose serious health problems for anyone, but the elderly are at particular risk for dehydration.

Drinking plenty of fluids is the key to staying hydrated and water is the best choice. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to start drinking water. In the summer heat, drink fluids throughout the entire day.

Drinking plenty of fluids and eating fruit will help keep you hydrated during the hot summer months. Try adding a cup of fresh berries to your yogurt, cereal or dessert, or add slices of cucumber and a few leaves of lettuce to wraps and sandwiches.

Flavored water with ice, or even soup with plenty of broth can be a source of fluids and seems more like a meal and less like a drink. Popsicle, milkshakes, and smoothies are another refreshing

way to stay hydrated. These may not seem like a lot, but every little bit counts and including these items on a daily basis can prevent dehydration.

CareMore wants you to stay cool and hydrated during the summer of 2017.

Care More Clinic is located at 1530 East Euclid Avenue in Des Moines. They see Medicaid patients age 14 and up. Call them today at 515-989- 6001 to see if you qualify for a Home Visit by a doctor. CareMore. That’s what we do.

Iowa fisheries biologist recognized for excellence in fish management techniques Iowa fisheries management biologist Mark Flammang was recognized as the Fisheries Biologist of the Year by the Midwest Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (MAFWA) at their annual meeting, June 26 in Ashland, Neb. MAFWA, an organization of 13 state and three provincial Midwest fish and wildlife agencies, exists to share ideas and information, pool resources, and initiate action to benefit the management and conservation of fish and wildlife resources in the Midwest.

This award is presented annually to a fisheries biologist that demonstrates unparalleled initiative towards the better understanding of fishes and their conservation.

Flammang, DNR fisheries management biologist for the eight county district in south central Iowa, was rec-

ognized for initiating new approaches to refine fish management techniques including how and when fish surveys are conducted, fish marking techniques, documenting fish movement behaviors and improving water quality through lake and watershed management.

“Mark has the skills and insight to conduct relevant fish research investigations including better sampling techniques for measuring channel catfish populations in Iowa lakes,” said Chris Larson, DNR fisheries management supervisor.

Flammang evaluated the use of baited tandem hoopnets to standard gill net efforts to capture adult channel catfish. The results showed that tandem baited hoop-nets were much better than gill nets at capturing large num-

bers of channel catfish. This technique is now part of Iowa Fish Management Section’s standard operating procedures, and is used by other state agencies.

Flammang has taken an active role in improving other fish sampling techniques such as comparing catch rates for large 3’x6’ versus small 2’x4’ fyke nets, evaluating un-baited hoop-nets for panfish population assessments, and improvements to the fish management database.

Some of Flammang’s work has influenced the way fish management is done in Iowa and throughout the Midwest.

“Mark continues to go above and beyond what is expected of him,” said Larson.

Rotenone is often used to control undesirable fish species and improve water quality. Flammang led a recent

study to evaluate the effect of four different low concentrations of rotenone to remove gizzard shad while minimizing the impact on important gamefish populations. Results of this work provided a useful tool to help managers eliminate specific problem species like gizzard shad with minimal impacts to important gamefish and lessening the need to remove all fish.

Recent higher flows at Rathbun Reservoir, along with declining walleye populations, motivated Flammang to study walleye escaping through the gates at Rathbun Reservoir. Since 2009, Flammang has tagged and monitored walleye at Rathbun Reservoir. His work confirmed that many walleyes are leaving the reservoir. This prompted further research, in collaboration with Iowa State Univer-

sity (ISU) and the US Army Corps of Engineers, on potential methods to minimize the escape of walleyes. Flammang and an ISU graduate student evaluated various fish barriers. Efforts are underway to secure funding for an electric fish barrier to minimize fish escaping from the reservoir.

Flammang has been active with numerous lake restoration projects within his district. Recent lake restoration projects completed at Hawthorn Lake, Lake Miami and Red Haw Lake have improved water quality and fishing at these popular lakes. Flammang is currently involved in three additional lake restoration efforts at Lakes Keomah and Lacey-Keosauqua, and Rathbun Reservoir, along with other smaller man-made lakes around his district.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Bailey Davis hits the ball for a grounder in an earlier game this season. On Monday, the Cardinals finished the regular season with a Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader at Indianola. They lost 5-4 and 13-8 to the Class 5A eighth-ranked Indians.

Cardinals push 5A No. 8 Indians, fall twice

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News INDIANOLA — Facing the eighth-ranked team in Class 5A, Newton High’s Cardinal softball team played solid softball to conclude its regular season on Monday.

In a Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader, the Cardinals pushed Indianola’s Indians right to the end of the of the opener, losing 5-4. They

were up on the Indians 4-0 in the second game before Indianola rallied for a 13-8 victory.

Newton finished LHC play at 10-11 while Indianola (33-5) stands at 16-4 with one more conference game to play against Oskaloosa on Wednesday.

Newton is 16-18 overall as it moves into Class 4A Region 8 play Thursday when they host Knoxville at 7 p.m. at Berg Middle School. The winner

of that game will play against Class 4A second-ranked Winterset at 7 p.m. Saturday in a semifinal contest at Winterset.

In the opener, Indianola was up 1-0 after the first inning then added three runs in the fourth inning. Newton cut the margin in half with a tworun top of the fifth frame.

With two gone, Lakin Jenkins drew a walk and Karley Leiker singled. Emily Valtman cranked out a two-run

double. The Indians scored a run in their half of the fifth to make it 5-2.

Newton wasn’t done as it battled right to the final out in the top of the seventh. The Cardinals had the tying run at second when the game ended.

In the seventh, Kennedy Leiker was issued a one-out walk followed by a fielder’s choice from Jenkins. Karley Leiker kept the rally going with a base hit then Valtman dou-

Rockets shoot past Hawks

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — In its final home regular-season game, Lynnville-Sully’s baseball team was shutout by visiting Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont on Monday night.

The Rockets led 2-0 after six innings then added four unearned runs in the seventh for a 6-0 win over the Hawks.

It was only the second time this season the Hawks were held scoreless. The loss broke a seven-game win streak

by Lynnville-Sully.

The Hawks (15-6) play a non-conference game at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday against Prairie City-Monroe in Prairie City.

That will end the regular season for Lynnville-Sully. The Hawks open Class 1A District 11 play on July 11. They play Melcher-Dallas at 5 p.m. in the first game of a district doubleheader at Colfax. Colfax-Mingo plays Montezuma at 7 p.m.

EBF scored single runs in the second and sixth innings. Lynnville-Sully senior Tyler Van Zante was the starter and took the loss. He worked 5 1/3 innings, giving up two runs on eight hits and five walks.

He struck out 11.

Kansas City’s Perez, St. Louis’ Molina are MLB All-Star catchers NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge, Carlos Correa and Nolan Arenado led a new generation of All-Stars, among 12 first-time starters elected by fans for the July 11 game at Marlins Park.

“I’ve got to call my family and tell them to book a flight to Miami. They’re going to be excited,” Judge said after rosters were announced Sunday.

The dozen first-time starters are the most since voting was returned to fans in 1970.

Just one player was picked from the World Series champion Cubs: reliever Wade Davis, who Perez wasn’t even with Chicago when it ended a 108-year title drought last fall. The Cubs had seven AllStars last season, including their entire starting infield.

“Frankly, we haven’t had many guys who were all that deserving,” Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta.

Just past the halfway point, the Cubs are 41-41.

“Maybe this is actually a good thing. Right now, rest is not a bad Molina word,” said Chicago’s Joe Maddon, who will manage the NL. In a sign of the generational change, the AllStars with the most selections are Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw with eight and St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina with seven.

Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera, the senior All-Star last year with 11 selections, wasn’t picked for the first time since 2009.

Two of the first-time starters are from the Houston Astros, who have the best record in the major leagues: Correa, the shortstop drafted first overall in 2012, and outfielder George Springer.

Second baseman Jose Altuve was elected to his third start.

Hawkeye football gains productive graduate transfer Newton Daily News The Iowa football program celebrated the Fourth of July holiday with a big graduate transfer signing.

The Hawkeyes’ already crowded backfield behind presumed started Akrum Wadley just added another player when former Nevada tailback James Butler announced on Twitter that he is headed to the University of Iowa as a grad transfer tailback.

Butler, a 5-foot-9, 210-pound back, is a native of Bloomingdale, Illinois.

Butler topped 1,300 yards rushing in each of his last two seasons at Nevada.

He scored 22 touchdowns during that time and also caught 37 passes and scored three receiving touchdowns in 2016.

Wadley is still expected to be the team’s No. 1 tailback after rushing for more than 1,000 yards last season.

But the signing of Butler could give Iowa more flexibility offensively.

Butler will now compete with sophomore Toks Akinribade and redshirt freshman Toren Young for the backup position.

PCM scores narrow road win over Pleasantville

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PLEASANTVILLE — Junior Noah Henkenius and sophomore Brayton Van Dyke didn’t have their best stuff on the mound Monday during a road game against Pleasantville.

But the Mustang duo was still more than good enough to shut down a Trojans’ club that is averaging more than seven runs per game.

Henkenius improved to 6-1 on the season after allowing no runs in six innings, and Van Dyke recorded his sixth save during a 2-1 road victory.

The Mustangs scattered nine hits at the plate. The win was the team’s 17th on the season.

“Noah was off a bit early, but we corrected some mechanical stuff after the first inning,”

Henkenius

Worth

PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said.

“After that, he got it going and went to work. He didn’t let that first inning bother him.”

Henkenius walked five batters total in the game. He gave three free passes in the first inning, but didn’t allow a run after inducing an early double play.

With two gone, Henkenius walked two batters in between a PCM fielding error, but the Trojans (17-12) were held off the scoreboard after a flyout.

The Mustangs got on the board in the second inning.

Henkenius got one of his two hits in the game in the frame, and his courtesy runner, junior Colton Warrick, scored on senior Ryan Hill’s RBI sacrifice fly.

Hill and Henkenius both had two hits, including a double. Hill’s RBI put PCM up 1-0 after two innings.

In the fifth, PCM went up 2-0 on an RBI sacrifice fly by sophomore Reed Worth. Hill’s courtesy runner, sophomore Olin Meinders, scored on the fly ball. Worth had two hits in the game and is now batting a team-best .400.

“We got back to what we had been doing recently at the plate,” Lindsay said. “We had a lot of hard hit balls. We were a lot more aggressive.”

Henkenius allowed no runs on three hits with six strike-

outs and five walks. His earned run average improved to 1.46.

Van Dyke threw the final inning for PCM. He struggled to get three outs after walking three batters, but he earned the save after also recording two strikeouts.

Van Dyke doubled at the plate for PCM, which improved to 17-8 on the season.

Seniors Braden Phifer and Chase Kuecker each had one hit, too.

The Mustangs have won three of their last four games.

They host Lynnville-Sully for a non-conference game at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Prairie City. PCM ends the regular season at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Heart of Iowa Conference rival Nevada.

U.S. wrestler cites pressure to waive jury trial in abuse case

NASCAR Photo Dale Earnhardt Jr., driver of the No. 88 Nationwide Chevrolet, stands in the garage area during practice for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series 59th Annual Coke Zero 400 Powered By Coca-Cola at Daytona International Speedway on Thursday in Daytona Beach, Florida.

NBC looks to kick NASCAR ratings into higher gear DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NBC picked up its half of the NASCAR schedule with Saturday night’s race at Daytona International Speedway. Its task: Stop the ratings slide.

Fox Sports wrapped up its portion of the season last week with the leastwatched race at Sonoma Raceway since 2002. Not counting rainouts, all 15 Cup Series races this season have set or tied a multiyear ratings low.

Still, last Sunday’s Fox Sports finale ranked second among all sports events watched on a single network, trailing only the final round of the PGA’s Hartford Open. Even so, the downward ratings turn is something NBC hopes to flip.

“I think we can control what we can control, and that’s putting the best possible product on the air,” said Sam Flood, executive producer for NBC’s NASCAR telecasts.

“We also make sure we market and get the word out as well as we possibly can that this is must-see TV. And we’ve got a good history and a good track record at NBC of making events bigger.”

Flood pointed to NBC’s coverage of the Kentucky Derby and the NFL on Sunday nights. The network is entering its third year of its return to NASCAR. “We know how to do this,” he said.

“We just need to work hard, and it’s going to take some digging, but we’re going to get there because we believe in the sport and we believe in these people and we believe that it is a great product on television.

“We want more people in the stands. We want people to enjoy it and be as passionate about the sport the way they were in ‘01 when we came in the first time. We think that’s all possible. We wouldn’t be sitting here and working as hard as we are and planning as hard as we are if we didn’t be-

lieve that was going to happen.”

NBC will use a “bat-cam” that will be rigged to zoom along Daytona’s backstretch above the racing. The camera is expected to debut in Friday night’s Xfinity Series race. Mike Wells, the NBC director for NASCAR, plans to use the camera to show cars exiting Turn 2 or turn the camera around and have it head toward the cars.

NBC also will introduce a “visor cam” similar to the one Danica Patrick wore last week at Sonoma.

“We’ve got nice toys there that we think will help amplify the speed, the drama and the excitement on the racetrack,” Flood said.

The booth again will consist of playby-play announcer Rick Allen and analysts Jeff Burton and Steve Letarte.

Letarte, Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s former crew chief at Hendrick Motorsports, will launch a segment that features traveling crew members. NBC also brought former Olympic sprinter Ato Boldon, the network’s lead track and field analyst, to Daytona to anchor features as a newcomer to the sport.

NBC also will be able to cover Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s final season from a unique vantage. Letarte is Earnhardt’s former crew chief and a confidant while Burton is a former competitor and friend. It gives NBC the ability to offer insider’s insight as NASCAR’s most popular driver winds down his career.

“I’m feeling he’s 100 percent engaged,” Letarte said. “The sport is difficult. What we’ve seen Dale Jr. battle this year is exactly why we all tune in every Sunday because there are no gimmies, there are no guarantees. Joe Gibbs Racing is winless. Chase Elliott is winless. No one, I think, could have predicted that. And Jimmie Johnson has three wins, but he’s the only Hendrick driver to get to victory lane this year.”

IOWA CITY (AP) — A U.S. wrestler who spent years in prison for a sexual assault he denies testified Thursday that he was pressured by his college coach and his lawyers to waive his right to a jury trial — a decision the prosecutor called ridiculous.

Jordan Holm, 35, is seeking to overturn his conviction in the 2002 sexual assault of a University of Iowa student, arguing that he received ineffective assistance from his lawyers. Judge Lars Anderson finished hearing testimony Thursday, saying he would “sort through the evidence” and rule in coming months after receiving written closing arguments.

Holm was convicted of assaulting a woman after an off-campus party in Iowa City in September 2002. The former two-time Minnesota high school champion was a star 20-year-old University of Northern Iowa wrestler at the time.

Holm spent nearly seven years in prison, maintaining his innocence. Following his release in 2010, he became a four-time U.S. Open champion in the Greco-Roman discipline and made the U.S. team for the world championships from 2013 through 2015.

Holm reached the semifinals of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials last year, but he saw his dream of reaching the Olympics dashed when he was upset.

Holm testified at the Johnson County courthouse Thursday that he waived his right to a jury trial “with great reluctance” at the insistence of his lawyers, who had been recommended by then-UNI Coach Brad Penrith.

Holm said he opposed the decision but went along with it because he was trying to be responsive to his coach, who urged him to follow his lawyers’ advice on the matter.

Holm’s lawyers believed he couldn’t get a fair trial because Johnson County was inflamed over the special treatment a star Iowa basketball player received in a recent sex abuse case.

A judge later found Holm guilty of third-degree sexual abuse after a bench trial.

Holm said he believed his lawyers were looking out for UNI’s interests rather than his own and were trying to keep the case out of the public spotlight.

Holm noted that he wasn’t suspended following his arrest and the school allowed him to wrestle through his sophomore year as he awaited trial, even reaching the NCAA tournament.

Victoria Cole, a former assistant county attorney who prosecuted Holm, testified Thursday that she thought the defense’s decision to waive a jury trial was ridiculous because local juries are notoriously pro-defendant. She called the liberal-leaning area “The People’s Republic of Johnson County.”

Cole recalled Judge Denver Dillard urging both sides to reach a last-minute plea agreement on a lesser charge after telling them he planned to find Holm guilty. Cole said she declined the offer, saying the trial was over.

Holm said he and his lawyers had been confident all along he would be exonerated because they believed the DNA evidence didn’t match the woman’s allegations.

Investigators found a trace of Holm’s DNA on the woman’s thigh but none on her genitals, and he argued Thursday that showed “there’s no possible way” any sexual acts occurred.

“I didn’t do anything wrong,” he said.

Cole said she believed DNA evidence supported the woman’s claim, adding that she was credible. The woman testified at trial that Holm performed a sex act on her while she was sleeping and fled after she woke up.

Peter Persaud, a Johnson County public defender who had no involvement in Holm’s original case, testified Thursday that he would never waive a jury trial in a sexual abuse case. He said he also wouldn’t recommend a bench trial in front of Dillard, who had been a career prosecutor.

Royals keep rolling, knock off Seattle SEATTLE (AP) — Every so often Kansas City’s Whit Merrifield will swing at the first pitch of the first inning no matter what just to make sure his scouting report doesn’t become predictable.

“That way pitchers don’t just groove one every time and you’re sitting 0-1 every at-bat,” Merrifield said. “It’s important as the leadoff guy to get on the first pitch every once in a while.”

Merrifield picked the right time, hitting Felix Hernandez’s first pitch of the game for his seventh home run as the Kansas City Royals beat the Seattle Mariners 7-3 on Tuesday for their fifth win in

six games.

Merrifield set the tone jumping on an 89 mph pitch in the middle of the plate and clearing the wall in left-center. Mike Moustakas continued his home run roll at the plate hitting a two-run shot for his 24th of the season and the Royals knocked around Hernandez (3-3) for five earned runs in six innings. Moustakas has homered five times in the past seven games.

The Royals scored three times in the fourth inning thanks to Moustakas’ long ball and a two-out error by second baseman Robinson Cano that allowed Brandon

Moss to score. Salvador Perez had a two-run double and the five earned runs were the most allowed by Hernandez in his eight starts this season.

“I was just looking for something out over the plate,” Moustakas said. “That guy has been one of the best pitchers in baseball for a long time so I was trying to put a good swing on something early in the count and not get to two strikes.”

Kansas City starter Danny Duffy (5-4) returned after spending a month on the disabled list and allowed just two first-inning runs.

Nelson Cruz had a tworun single off the wall in

Cardinals

All-Stars Continued from Page 1B “It’s something that you dream about since you are a little kid, since you get drafted, since you sign a professional contract,” Correa said.

Houston pitchers Dallas Keuchel and Lance McCullers Jr. were picked, as well, giving the Astros five All-Stars, tied for the most with the New York Yankees, Cleveland and Washington. Keuchel is hurt and won’t pitch.

Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper, second baseman Daniel Murphy and first baseman Ryan Zimmerman were elected to start, and Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg were selected for the pitching staff. Harper led fan voting with 4.63 million ballots.

“Definitely humbled by fans, the way they treat me,” Harper said.

At 32, Zimmerman is an All-Star for the first time since 2009, when he was a reserve third baseman.

“Yeah, sports are funny, man,” Zimmerman said. “It’s just a crazy path to get back, but it’s also pretty cool.”

Judge, the 6-foot-7 rookie who leads the major leagues with 27 home runs, topped the AL with 4.49 million votes. He is joined in the outfield by Springer and Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout, who hopes to return in time from a torn thumb ligament.

Cleveland’s Jose Ramirez overtook Minnesota’s Miguel Sano in the final days of balloting to win the AL third base spot by about 54,000 votes, Toronto’s Justin Smoak

within 6-3, helped along by first baseman Eric Hosmer’s throwing error that put runners on second and third with just one out. Reliever Peter Moylan got Danny Valencia to ground into a double play to end the threat, started by Merrifield’s lunging stop that kept the grounder from sneaking into the outfield.

Seattle has lost six straight at home and averaged just 2.3 runs per game in those losses.

“The Royals have some momentum going and are playing some good ball and we’re not. We need to get some momentum going,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said.

Cubs, Cardinals lose

Continued from Page 1B six hits and two walks.

Newton grabbed a 4-0 lead in the top of the second of the nightcap.

Ryan walked followed by a double by Davis and a single by Lucas. Rilee Slycord delivered a two-run double. Harlie Durr reached on a fielder’s choice then Jenkins drove in two runs with a two-out base hit.

Indianola scored single runs in the second and third innings to make it 4-2. Newton got a run in the fourth on Slycord’s fourth home run of the season.

The Indians used a six-run bottom of the fourth, highlighted by a three-run home run by Taylor Bowlin, to gain the lead 8-5. On back-toback doubles by Valtman and Ryan, the Cardinals scored a run in the fifth inning.

Indianola increased its lead to 13-6 with five runs in the sixth. Newton pushed across two runs in the seventh for the final margin.

Kennedy Leiker singled and Jenkins reached on an error. With one gone, Valtman drew a walk. Kennedy Leiker scored on a passed ball and Jenkins came home on an RBI base hit by Ryan.

The Indians’ Destiny Lewis

right-center field in the first inning — missing his first home run in a month by a matter of inches — but Duffy allowed just one other runner to reach third base pitching into the sixth. The lefty had been on the DL since late May with an oblique strain, but scattered five hits and struck out four.

“He looked great. The first inning he was getting his tempo and timing ... but after that he really settled down, found his arm slot and did exactly what we needed him to do,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said.

Jean Segura had an RBI single in the seventh to pull

CHICAGO (AP) — Tim Beckham homered, and the Tamp Bay Rays won their reunion with Joe Maddon, beating the Chicago Cubs, 6-5, on Tuesday.

Beckham’s two-run drive highlighted a five-run fourth against Jon Lester (5-5). Alex Colome gave up two runs in the ninth, but the Rays won their first meeting against Maddon since he left to manage Chicago following the 2014 season.

Colome threw 38 pitches in the ninth but came away with his 22nd save in 26 chances.

Chris Archer (7-5) picked up his third win in four starts, giving up three runs and eight hits in six innings. The former Cubs prospect also had an RBI single for his first career hit.

Lester allowed up six runs — tying a season Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Putting down a slap bunt is Newton High’s Karley Leiker during a recent home game. The Cardinals finished the regular season on Monday and will open Class 4A regional play at home Thursday.

struck out the next two Newton batters to end the game.

Newton’s Anna Coyle took the pitching loss, giving up 16 hits, walking three and strik-

ing out three.

bounced back to beat Kansas City’s Eric Hosmer by 555,000 at first base, and Tampa Bay’s Corey Dickerson rallied to win at designated hitter by nearly 75,000 over Seattle’s Nelson Cruz. The Royals’ Salvador Perez won at catcher.

Arenado overtook the Cubs’ Kris Bryant, last year’s NL MVP, to win at third base by 180,000. Arenado will be joined in the NL lineup by Cincinnati shortstop Zack Cozart, Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon, Miami outfielder Marcell Ozuna and San Francisco catcher Buster Posey.

“It would be even more fun if there were a few more guys going from the team,” said Posey, whose Giants are last in the NL West.

There were 11 first-time starters last season in San Diego, the last year the winning league received homefield advantage in the World Series. Under baseball’s new labor contract, the Series now starts in the ballpark of the pennant winner with the better record.

Catcher Gary Sanchez, injured second baseman Starlin Castro and pitchers Dellin Betances and Luis Severino also were picked from the Yankees. Cleveland is sending pitchers Corey Kluber and Andrew Miller, shortstop Francisco Lindor and outfielder Michael Brantley.

“I’m just happy for Cleveland,” said the Indians’ Terry Francona, who will manage the AL. “I think the fans and the city — everybody should be proud.”

Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton was picked as a reserve and plans to defend his Home Run Derby ti-

tle on July 10. Judge also has been invited, and Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Cody Bellinger, who leads the NL with 24 homers, has said he will participate.

“It is going to be amazing,” Stanton said. “Either way, the week was going to be cool, but this makes it even cooler.”

The NL-leading Dodgers will send Bellinger, Kershaw, shortstop Corey Seager and closer Kenley Jansen to Miami, but nobody from Los Angeles was elected for the starting lineup by fans. Jansen was upset with his own fanbase for letting down Seager and third baseman Justin Turner.

“I’ll say it loud and clear again: It’s the Dodger fans’ fault,” Jansen said.

Among other strong candidates overlooked were Carlos Carrasco, Jacob deGrom, Gio Gonzalez, Ivan Nova, Roberto Osuna, Anthony Rizzo, Travis Shaw, Andrelton Simmons, Justin Upton and Alex Wood.

Rosters were cut from 34 per league to 32 under the new labor deal, and online voting determines the last spot on each roster. Elvis Andrus, Xander Bogaerts, Didi Gregorius, Logan Morrison and Mike Moustakas are the AL candidates, and Justin Bour, Bryant, Anthony Rendon, Mark Reynolds and Turner are on the NL ballot.

The AL had won four straight and went 11-3 in the years the All-Star Game determined World Series home field. Marlins Park is the third of four straight NL ballparks to host the All-Stars and will be followed by Washington in 2018.

high — and nine hits over five innings. Chicago lost for the fifth time in seven games.

Marlins 5, Cardinals 2 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Christian Yelich hit a threerun homer and Jose Urena struck out seven in five solid innings, helping Miami to the road win.

JT Riddle added a tworun single for the Marlins, who had dropped five of six. Dee Gordon had three hits, and Giancarlo Stanton reached three times.

Greg Garcia hit a tworun homer for St. Louis, which lost for just the second time in seven games.

Lance Lynn (6-6) allowed four runs, two earned, and six hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Urena (7-3) was charged with two runs and three hits. AJ Ramos got three outs for his 14th save in 15 opportunities.

Astrograph

When it comes to love, people have different strengths. Some people’s strength is in listening; others are protectors.

Some serve; others delight.

Figure out what their love strength is before you accuse them of not loving you just because they show it differently than you like to get it.

This message is sponsored by Mercury’s entrance into Leo.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 5). Your loved ones come to know more of you, and indeed, you grow in new ways, so there is more to know. To be understood and celebrated for your uniqueness is both a comfort and a thrill. September and February are your

luckiest financial months. New relationships and deals will be established in October. Libra and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 27, 43, 9, 22 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Sometimes you’re charged with being a cog in the wheel, and other times your job is to hold the handlebars, steer and balance. Both jobs can have their advantages and disadvantages, so whichever it is, embrace it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Our minds are so subjective that the idea of reality can be a squirrelly one. If you ignore it and it doesn’t go away, it’s

YOUR AD HE RE!

probably reality. That’s good news. Reality can be much more easily dealt with than non-reality.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Just as the Greek hero Odysseus found a way to resist the song of the sirens, you will find a way to resist the temptations on the sidelines today.

Odysseus had help from his crew, and so will you if you call on yours.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Anyone can connect all of the wrong things and come to some pretty dismal conclusions. You’ll connect the shining dots of rightness, and the conclusion that naturally follows will be bright and welcoming.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To be selfless and remain calm is the aim of people everywhere (especially women). And then one day (today) you’re simply not in the mood. Rage on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Part of you will engage; the other part watches. Which is real? You’re the sky, not the weather. The clouds may decorate or menace, but don’t be bothered; clouds pass. You’re the constant.

power, and so does unity. Too much of either state is diminishing, though. Your balance of social time and alone time may need some tweaking.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can’t think your way to peace, because thinking doesn’t bring peace. Peace exists between the thoughts, also around them. Music will be an easy and interesting way to organize mental clutter.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Any path you commit to will get you there. So the better question isn’t, “Which one will get me there?” It’s, “Which path might I commit to with pleasure?”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you feel you have to inflate your confidence or brag or otherwise stuff your “resume,” the situation is already doomed. Go where the love is instead! Who you are isn’t what you have, own or do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Solitude has a transcendent

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

People will say that “some-

thing has to be done,” but does it? If nothing were done, what then? If you put it to the test and “something” still “has to be done,” then you’re the one to do it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There’s the unknowable, and then there’s the not-worthknowing, and both may seem to be unworthy of the chase.

However, pursuing the first category will bring many revelations.
