Bite of Childhood: Cookies share memory of Monroe native across Midwest Thelma’s ice cream sandwiches now served at all Hy-Vee, Fareway stores

By Anthony Victor Reyes Prairie City News DES MOINES — Snickerdoodles — for many people, this is a staple of their childhood.

From memories of baking with a loved one to capping off a perfect day with this sweet treat, people who were brought up with this cin-

namon delight are instantly transported to a happy childhood memory with each bite.

Thelma Lewis served up these memories with her signature snickerdoodle recipe in Monroe for many years.

Although she passed away in 2013 at the age of 109, her great-grandson is proud to say her memory will be preserved as her tasty cookies can now be enjoyed across eight states — from the Fareway in Newton to the Hy-Vee in Manhattan, Kan. COOKIES | 3A

Loyal race fans enjoy perks at Iowa Speedway

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News When Iowa Speedway named its ARCA Racing Series event “Fans with Benefits 150,” the idea was to dedicate the weekend to and thank fans and season ticket holders.

Loyal fans statewide took advantage of the perks and special events during the first ever National Iowa Speedway Day, but some said it was just like any race weekend to them.

Hundreds braved the heat to watch the Iowa Corn 300 race Sunday and to check out a number of activities such as, mini golf, pedal to the metal, XPOGO and indulge in a free appetizer of Iowa sweet corn.

The pedal to the metal activity is a fan favorite from last year and is meant for the youngest attendees to participate in a pedal tractor pull.

The miniature tractors included a sled weight for difficulty and all contestants received a keepsake.

Next up for entertainment,

was a new show, XPOGO, brought to the Iowa Speedway. Two competitors, one from Canada and one from Russia showed off their tricks and talent while bouncing for fans. The Extreme Pogo even got heated with fans deciding who could pogo the best between the two professionals.

In addition, displays were presented by Corn Feed, Iowa Corn and Chevrolet. The biggest attraction of the display was the free corn on the cob.

Hundreds Newton couple wins ‘Bitchin Buick’ award at Goodguys national showcase celebrate annual Baxter Fun Days

By Anthony Victor Reyes Newton Daily News Around Jasper County, it is no secret that people love hot rods.

From decked out muscle cars to refurbished classics, hot rod enthusiasts are always on the lookout for a unique vehicle.

After competing with more than 4,500 customized vehicles, one couple in Newton can safely say they have a Buick that is “bitchin.’”

“Bitchin’ is a slang word for cool,” Newton resident Mike Duffus said.

so many cars that are deserving,” Glenda said.

Baxter residents expected a “small town throw down” and that is exactly what they got during the annual Baxter Fun Days celebration.

Hundreds of attendees began the three-dayevent by watching the truck and tractor pull Friday and ended the weekend by listening to the band “Slipstream” during the street dance on Station Street.

The truck and tractor pull drew in a packed crowd to Chad Floras Field from 7 to 10 p.m. Following the pull, a fireworks show illuminated the night sky and the popular show didn’t disappoint.

Janell Travis, Baxter Fun Days committee member, said the committee’s hard work always pays off when she witnesses families and attendees enjoying themselves year after year.

“It has gone really well,” Travis said Saturday. “I love seeing people of all ages and people from different communities at the event.”

Travis, along with 16 committee members, headed up the event this year. Travis said committee

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Monday, July 10, the 191st day of 2017. There are 174 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 10, 1967, country singer-songwriter Bobbie Gentry recorded her hit single “Ode to Billie Joe” at Capitol Records in Hollywood.

On this date: In A.D. 138, Roman Emperor Hadrian, responsible for the construction of opulent temples as well as the barrier in northern Britain known as Hadrian’s Wall, died at age 62.

In 1890, Wyoming became the 44th state.

In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson personally delivered the Treaty of Versailles to the Senate and urged its ratification. (However, the Senate rejected it.)

In 1925, jury selection took place in Dayton, Tennessee, in the trial of John T. Scopes, charged with violating the law by teaching Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.

(Scopes was convicted and fined, but the verdict was overturned on a technicality.)

In 1940, during World War II, the Battle of Britain began as the Luftwaffe started attacking southern England. (The Royal Air Force was ultimately victorious.)

In 1951, armistice talks aimed at ending the Korean War began at Kaesong.

In 1973, the Bahamas became fully independent after three centuries of British colonial rule.

In 1985, the Greenpeace protest ship Rainbow Warrior was sunk with explosives in Auckland, New Zealand, by French intelligence agents; one activist was killed.

Bowing to pressure from irate customers, the Coca-Cola Co. said it would resume selling old-formula Coke, while continuing to sell New Coke.

In 1999, the United States women’s soccer team won the World Cup, beating China 5-4 on penalty kicks after 120 minutes of scoreless play at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.

Ten years ago: China executed the former head of its food and drug agency (Zheng Xiaoyu) for approving untested medicine in exchange for cash. A judge in Los Angeles sentenced pizza deliveryman Chester Turner to death for murdering 10 women and a fetus during the 1980s and ‘90s (Turner remains on death row).

Five years ago: Clashing over the economy, President Barack Obama challenged Mitt Romney to join him in allowing tax hikes for rich Americans like them; Romney dismissed the idea and redirected charges that he, Romney, had sent jobs overseas when he worked in private equity, calling Obama the real “outsourcer-in-chief.”

One year ago: President Barack Obama, during an abbreviated visit to Spain, urged respect and restraint from Americans angered by the killing of black men by police, saying anything less did a “disservice to the cause” of ridding the criminal justice system of racial bias.

That’s Odd Alligators, snakes found at LA-area home where cobra escaped THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.

(AP) — Authorities found alligators and venomous snakes at a Southern California home where animal control officers say a cobra had gotten loose and terrified neighbors.

Los Angeles County officials served search warrants Thursday at a home in Thousand Oaks and a rural property just outside the city.

The Los Angeles Times reports the warrants were requested after a neighbor recently reported seeing a cobra slithering through the area. Animal control public information officer Don Barre says the neighbor drove a car over the snake, killing it.

Bill Hillmann, a 35-yearold writer who also was gored three years ago at the San Fermin festival, was in stable condition. The bull that led the pack thrust its horn into Hillmann’s buttocks before flipping him onto the street.

“In a split second he was on me. I tried to jump, but he hit me in the butt,” the Chicago resident told The Associated Press by telephone from a hospital in

son soft serve between two of the Monroe sweets, and serve it at the Des Moines Downtown Farmers’ Market.

“We were hand-scooping each cookie, filling them with a little ice cream machine that could make six, then it would need to sit for five minutes. It was terrible,” Lewis said. “It was just my mom and I doing all of that work at that stage.”

The Monroe native said the mother-son duo would prepare the ice cream sandwiches, wrap them in plastic wrap, put them in a freezer push cart and bring the tasty treats to the Farmers’ Market in Des Moines. Lewis said starting their business would not have been possible without the help and support from Monroe community.

“Our first sandwich we filled was in Jersey Freeze in Monroe,” Lewis said. “Lynn Donahue, who owns Jersey Freeze in Monroe, invited us to come down to use his ice cream to fill up our sandwiches. Then,

Continued from Page 1A “She would save the Country Crock butter tubs, because she was 108, and fill them with snickerdoodle cookies.

She lived in this little house in Monroe where you come in the back door and she always would have them on the table in the breeze way,” Dereck Lewis, owner of Thelma’s Treats said. “That memory of her is really ingrained in me and the good feelings of smelling the snickerdoodle... That is what we want people to think of when they are eating our stuff.”

According to Lewis, he and his mother began delivering his great-grandmother’s signature cookies in a little oven around Des Moines in 2012.

When summer came, their customers were craving something a little cooler. That was when they came up with the idea to squish Anderson Erick-

he actually loaned me an ice cream machine for a little bit to get started. We probably wouldn’t have done (ice cream sandwiches) without Lynn’s help.”

The company slowly grew, began selling their products at individual Hy-Vee stores around Iowa, kept expanding their kitchen and set up a retail shop in downtown Des Moines. Now cookie lovers can purchase seven varieties of their ice cream sandwiches, including their signature snickerdoodle cookie with vanilla ice cream, at the 225 Hy-Vee and the 117 Fairway locations across the Midwest.

“We are just excited that people can get them now...

We really wanted to prove that sandwiches would sell in a market where we weren’t the hometown sweetheart,” the cookie business owner said. “We have grown about 100 percent every year since we started. We have done that

by building a pretty dedicated consumer base.”

The Monroe native said thanks to business’ deep roots in the town of about 1,831, Thelma’s has found the importance of being involved in the towns they serve, from participating in the annual Frosty Nose, Cold Toes 5K in Monroe to serving dessert sandwiches during race weekends at the Iowa Speedway in Newton.

Lewis said through this, several small towns across the Midwest have gravitated toward their brand.

“I think there is a small town, agricultural work ethic that is embedded into our business. We kind of do things by ourselves if somebody says it is too expensive. My parents were farm kids. All my family were farmers. That was how we grew up,” he said. “Knowing something is from a small town in Iowa, all small towns have adopted it as their own.”

Lewis said, although the

five years. I was fortunate enough to win some races. When I saw that it was coming to an end at Maytag, I got out and sold my car.”

In 2003, Mike and several other Newton residents were laid off by Maytag. As a 55-year-old, Mike said it was difficult for him to find a consistent, full-time job. Glenda told him that he should use this time to do something he loves, and soon after, the Newton resident decided to take his love for cars one step further.

“I told Mike, ‘We have to find something that is your passion because you have too much talent to just sit in a lazy boy chair

and watch TV,’” Glenda said.

After searching online, Mike found a car he liked at a decent price — a 1965 Buick station wagon.

His grandfather owned a Buick, and Mike wanted something to keep him busy. After a lot of discussion, the couple decided to drive out to Springfield, Ill., and purchase the car.

“Online it looked good, but when we got it, it wasn’t. That is how the internet works,” Mike said.

“We looked at the car and said, ‘What are we doing?’

Glen just said, ‘Let’s do it.’”

According to the couple, the car was leaking fluid from every place it Proud to Offer

could. Mike soon realized his little project would soon become a complete restoration job — something the couple has never done before.

“We didn’t know much about restoring a car. When we brought it home, it became our favorite saying, ‘Well it looks pretty good from 10 feet away.’ We called it our 10-footer,’” Glenda said.

“The more Mike took it apart, the more Mike found wrong with it.”

Mike said, despite his lack of experience with restoring vehicles, he was able to figure things out thanks to his background of working with

“So many things about building a car are personal satisfactions and that doesn’t necessarily show to everybody,” Mike said.

“In those seven years, you can get pretty discouraged. A constant source of encouragement was Glenda. At one time, I thought, what have I done. I just created a big pile of stuff that is going to go to the dump. Ultimately, the car is better than I ever thought it could be.”

The couple said they plan to enter their car in as many car shows as they can. Although they do not revolve their schedules around vehicle showcases, they said they hope to participate in more events in Jasper County.

“If the weather looks good, it would be fun to do a show in Prairie City or Baxter,” Glenda said.

The couple said, for them, it is not about winning awards, they just want to share their “Bitchin’ Buick” and their love for cars with the community.

The next Goodguys car show will be July 28 through July 30 in Puyallup, Wash. For more information, visit goodguys.com.

“Eventually there were all these parts all over the place. He sanded 11 layers of paint off the car.

He came in and just looking all black and sooty, like he just came from a coal mine,” Glenda said.

“There are a lot of cars you can restore where you can find replacements parts from a certain company.

Buicks aren’t so much that way ... Mike made a lot of his own parts.”

After seven years of hard, tedious work, the station wagon was officially finished in 2011. Since then, the car has been hitting the roads, making appearances at renovated vehicle displays from the Cool Car Car Show during NewtonFest to a showcase in Colorado.

“There are maybe 4,500 cars there. I’d say there are like 70 awards. There is like a 1.5 percent chance of winning.”

From a young age, Mike has always loved cars. The 69-year-old said because he was brought up in Kellogg, he spent his childhood watching the Midwest Manufacturing Company test their gokarts on a nearby track.

When he was 10, he said the Lions Club would host races, and on occasion, he would be allowed to sit in a kart and run it for hours.

“My folks (helped) run this track for the Lions Club out in Kellogg.

I think the first race, one go-kart got on top of another go-kart, and one driver had to get 14 or 15 stitches in his leg,” Mike said. “My folks said you are never doing that.”

How did Mike respond? You guessed it — he put his butt in a seat and put the pedal to the metal. At the age of 21, he started racing go-carts.

After 25 years, the Kellogg native decided to take his need for speed to the next level and he bought a race car.

The people behind Juno

Trending Mike Mendenhall

Editor’s note: This column originally published July 14, 2016. he 24-hour cable news cycle and social media feeds are littered with stories of failed government — United States political turmoil, United Kingdom’s “Brexit,” Saudi Arabia perpetuating and endorsing homophobic and sexist culture, human rights/ free speech suppression in China.

Everywhere, people are loosing faith in their governments. But there is always Juno.

I don’t know why our president and congress are not talking more about the successes of NASA. It’s a model for international cooperation through the International Space Station — making huge gains in research and develop-

T

Engineers and scientists at NASA pulled off what they’ve characterized as the most difficult maneuver ever attempted by a spacecraft — manned or unmanned. After using the Earth’s rotational velocity to slingshot itself past the asteroid belt, Juno entered the region of space dominated by the gravitational pull and radiation of the “King of Planets.”

The spacecraft had to go into radio silence with Earth as it turned its engine toward Jupiter for a 35 minute burn to slow its approach. Finally, Juno had to pivot once again to point its solar panels toward the Sun and reestablish radio contact with Earth.

This was all done relatively blind from NASA’s mission control at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.

During the next 20 months Juno will analyze Jupiter’s inner core, answering an old question in planetary science — does our solar system’s largest planet have a solid core? It will test

ment with space agencies from many world nations talking to one another through science.

NASA has made partnerships with multi-national corporations to cut costs and boost commercial stakes in space exploration. This U.S. government agency successful and seamlessly works with the Russian Space Agency during a time of strained relations between the two countries.

And then there’s Juno.

A solar-powered space craft no larger than a school bus, Juno entered into orbit around Jupiter on July. This is only the second time any Earth space agency has accomplished this, the first being NASA’s Galileo spacecraft in the mid-1990s.

Jupiter’s atmospheric composition for water and heavy elements. Juno’s primary mission is to discover the secrets of Jupiter’s formation, widely thought to be the oldest planet in our solar system. This could give NASA scientist clues about how our planetary system as a whole formed.

But the data must be analyzed by people.

Politics might be broken, but people are not. The government institutions which defend our nation, advance planetary, earth and climate science, build our roads and bridges all have flaws, but there are people behind the efforts — people with personal pride who are all too modest about their completed projects.

We can change the political system, but lets not forget, given the right conditions, people make government work.

The Declaration wasn’t about creating rules for citizens to obey. It wasn’t just about condemning the British, either.

Thomas Jefferson and his colleagues created a document steeped in the idea of individual rights.

He could have written about the desire to replace a bad king with a good king, but he didn’t.

The founders’ bold plan was to design a completely new sort of country -- one where people could rule themselves.

The Colonies were already known around the world for being a place where enterprising people could chart their own destiny. Now they would become a nation.

The population grew quickly as opportunity attracted immigrants. There were no walls to stop people from coming ashore and few rules to stop anyone from building a home or a business, or trying out new ideas.

So people prospered.

When the Declaration was written, no one had indoor plumbing or running water. Just 3 million people lived here. Most were much poorer than their relatives in England.

But within a century, America was the most prosperous country in the world.

Although it’s the Declaration that we celebrate on the Fourth, it was another document, the Constitution, ratified 12 years later, that really gave the details of the system of limited government that would shape America.

The founders were sick of British tyranny.

They understood the danger of big government.

Jefferson said, trust no man with too much government power; instead “bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”

James Madison wrote, “The powers delegated by the proposed constitution to the federal government are few and defined.”

Some delegates still opposed the Constitution, not because it was too radical, but because they feared it still left government too much power.

Looking at what politicians and regulators have done since, I guess those delegates were right.

One wrote, “Conceiving as I did that the liberties of America were not secured by the system, it was my duty to oppose it.” He was outvoted, but objections like his inspired the Bill of Rights to further bind government.

The limits it imposed have done a lot of good.

During the Korean War, when steelworkers threatened to strike, President Truman nationalized the steel industry, claiming he had that power because America was at war. The Supreme Court overruled him and returned the steel mills to their owners. Good.

In 1895, Congress passed an income tax. The Supreme Court said, no, the Constitution does not give you the power to do that, and struck the income tax down. Eventually, politicians and state legislatures amended the Constitution to allow the tax. But at least they had to go through proper constitutional procedures and get a two-thirds vote.

Maybe those rulings made Presidents Bush and Obama think twice about trying to nationalize America’s banks when the housing bubble burst.

Maybe it will restrain President Trump when he ...

OK, I don’t know what he may try to do, but his shifting moods make me nervous.

So far, the Constitution has at least slowed down big government. For a long time, the Supreme Court ignored the Second Amendment, but now they’ve started to enforce that, too.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Respect thy neighbor Newton Daily News Editorial Newton’s first Fourth of July under the state’s fireworks legalization law is on the books, and the numbers are in. According to Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess, calls for service in Newton related to fireworks this holiday weekend skyrocketed.

In 2016, between June 1 and July 5, the NPD received 28 calls complaining about fireworks.

During that same timeframe in 2017, law enforcement received 181 calls. Burdess said complaints picked up after June 23, but the 911 calls for fireworks on July 4 took on a different tone.

“The calls on July 4 were interesting,” Burdess said. “Some folks still thought fireworks were banned completely (in town), but some were related to citizens believing the fireworks were being discharged in an unsafe manner — too close to a building, too close to traffic, too many kids around.”

The NPD only reported one fireworks-related injury, resulting in a child being transported to a Des Moines-area hospital on July 4. The Jasper County Animal Rescue League reported one non-human injury, a 3-monthold kitten that sustained burns suspected from a firecracker.

During the 2017 Iowa legislative session, The General Assembly passed, and former Gov. Terry Branstad approved, a law legalizing the use of fireworks from June 1 to July 8 and Dec. 10 to Jan. 3 between the hours of 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. On July 4 and the Saturdays and Sundays immediately preceding and following July 4, the hours expand from 9 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. Dec. 31 to Jan. 1 fireworks are allowed between 9 a.m. to 12:30 a.m.

The Newton City Council vot-

ed in May to restrict firework use within city limits — from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on the Fourth of July and between 9 a.m. on Dec. 31 to 12:30 a.m. New Year’s Day. The state law allows city and county governments to decide if and when fireworks can be used in their jurisdiction.

Despite many Iowa cities and counties boards of supervisors taking a second look at banning fireworks after a loud weekend, legislators on both sides of the isle in Des Moines have given no indication they’re entertaining a repeal of the law.

City council members in communities like Sioux City have been inundated with calls, texts and emails from everyone including fireworks enthusiasts to detractors. Leaders there are already considering narrowing the window to shoot off the explosives from 10 to three days, according to the Sioux City Journal.

In an editorial published May 8, the Newton Daily News urged the Newton City Council to opt

out of allowing fireworks use in city limits. But with no state action in sight and Newton’s version already one of the most restrictive of the cities which allow fireworks, the colorful holiday activity is likely here to stay.

The majority of Newtonians did use fireworks safely over the Fourth of July weekend. So the key for futures holidays is responsibility and respect. Those who celebrate with fireworks have the responsibility to know Newton’s restrictions compared to the launch dates and times allowed by Jasper County and the State of Iowa. They have the responsibility to practice safety and proper use of these explosives, and give neighbors with early-morning jobs, sleeping infants and veterans suffering from PTSD respect.

Burdess said when it comes to fireworks, neighbors should just talk to each other. “It’s being a good citizen and thinking of other community members,” he said.

That’s pretty good advice.

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.

Neighbor’s frustrations spill over in driveway conversation DEAR ABBY: I live in a 55-plus community. I am younger than my husband by 10 years, so I was 49 when we moved here. We have lost 49 neighbors during the past five years — yes, seriously. Others are in nursing homes with no quality of life.

While walking my dog yesterday, a neighbor stopped me. She was standing in her driveway crying and nearly hysterical. Her husband has been in a nursing home for three years. He doesn’t know what is going on or who she is. She told me that she visits him every day, but she cannot stand it anymore. She said she wants to kill herself, but isn’t strong enough to do it.

They are in their 80s and had a wonderful 50-year marriage. He is not on life support, but has just been lying there for all this time. What can she do? What can I do to help her? — LISA IN FLORIDA DEAR LISA: Your poor neighbor was having an awful day. You already helped by listening to her and allowing her to vent. However, she needs to be able to do a lot more of it, and a way to help her further would be to suggest she talk to a doctor who specializes in the needs of older patients (a geriatrician). There may be a support group in your 55-plus community she could join, and she should be encouraged to do more for herself than she has been.

If she doesn’t know of a doctor to consult, ask your physician if he/she knows someone who is good. Doctors usually refer patients to doctors at their own level of competence. She could also inquire in the facility her husband is at and ask about support groups there as well.

DEAR ABBY: My son, “Allen,” is 27 and a pretty good writer, mostly fantasy stuff. I don’t like that genre myself, but I have enjoyed reading some of his work. He writes not only short stories but also entire books.

I have tried to convince him to submit his work to publishers to no avail.

He has a college degree, but doesn’t use it. He’s content working a minimum-wage job when he could be doing what he loves AND possibly make a living at it. Oh! And he still lives at home and does very little work around the house. Advice, please? — FRUSTRATED FATHER DEAR FRUSTRATED FATHER: Has it occurred to you that your son may be in a comfortable rut? I assume you have already spoken to him regarding his lack of ambition. While his job may not be what you think he’s capable of doing, it may allow him the time to write.

He may hesitate to submit his work to publishers because he’s afraid rejection would be too painful.

Not knowing your son, I can’t guess his reasons for living the life he has chosen. However, if what’s really bothering you is the fact that at 27 he’s still living at home and not helping enough around the house, that is fixable. Explain what you expect of him if he’s going to continue to stay there, and if he doesn’t live up to his responsibilities, tell him he will have to leave. It’s your home and you have a right to be assertive about what goes on in it.

FORT DODGE — Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday for the trial of a man accused of killing two people in Mason City. The trial of 31-year-old Peter Veal, of Lake Mills, has been moved to Fort Dodge because of pretrial publicity.

Veal has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and one count of the attempted murder of a witness. Officers sent to a Mason City home in November to check reports of a shooting found the bodies of Caleb Christensen and Melinda Kavars.

Iowa cuts deer tags to maintain population, combat disease DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa will reduce the number of tags it gives deer hunters as part of its effort to maintain the state’s deer population while combatting animal illnesses such as chronic wasting disease.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources approved the move and it was finalized at a legislative administrative rules meeting this month. It should not result in a reduction in the number of antlerless deer hunted in the state.

Iowa had a surplus of the tags — permit-like approval that’s put on each harvested animal — last year that is expected to hold up.

Instead the reduction — which is achieved through cutting the deer tag quota in some counties and adding to it in others — is a strategic move to better respond to the impacts or potential impacts of disease on white-tailed deer, according to Chris Ensminger, a wildlife supervisor for DNR who also noted that changing deer tag quotas has been approved in the past.

“At the end of the day our goal is to maintain as healthy

Submitted Photo The Iowa DNR plans to reduce the number of deer tags it gives in an effort to maintain Iowa’s deer population due to the loss associated with chronic wasting disease.

a herd as we can for the public, as a public resource,” he said.

Chronic wasting disease is a neurological condition that affects primarily deer and elk and can take years to manifest. It attacks the brains of infected animals and causes a range of symptoms, including abnormal behavior. DNR spokesman Alex Murphy said there is no known cure for the disease, which has

been recorded in more than 20 states and two Canadian provinces.

“It’s just a lot of unknowns at this time,” he said.

Epizootic hemorrhagic disease, a viral infection that’s also being tracked, is spread by flies that can cause high fever and the cell walls in a deer’s heart, lungs and diaphragm to weaken and burst, according to DNR. The condition is not

always fatal.

Kip Adams, director of education and outreach for the Quality Deer Management Association, a national group based in Georgia, praised Iowa’s approach to addressing chronic wasting disease.

“Rather than applying something across the broad, they’re taking this from a site-specific basis, which is a good thing,” he said. “They’re using the best information they have for those areas.”

It’s difficult to estimate how many deer are in Iowa, but hunters reported harvesting a little over 100,000 of them during the 2016 hunting season. That’s in line with a stable deer population in Iowa and one that’s improved in recent years, according to Ensminger.

Twelve deer harvested last hunting season tested positive for chronic wasting disease, according to DNR data.

All positive samples came from northeast Iowa in two counties that will increase the tag quota. The department will change quotes in a total of 22 counties by either reducing or increasing them.

Vacant Tyson plant listed for sale for about $2.5M CHEROKEE (AP) — After nearly three years of sitting vacant, a Tyson Foods plant in the northwestern Iowa community of Cherokee could be showing signs of life.

The owner of the property recently listed the site with Chicago-based Global Food Properties. Local leaders hope that means a new occupant for the 250,000 square-foot plant will be found.

Baxter Continued from Page 1A members are always open to new ideas to bring to Baxter Fun Days, however, they also work to carry on traditions.

“I’ve been on the committee for 10 years, and it takes a lot of manpower to organize and then volunteer,” Travis said.

One new event this year was the Kid Parade which started prior to the main parade. The parade of children on bicycles and power wheels went down Main Street. Featured in the main parade, were Jasper County Fair Queen Jaclyn

jobs with it. Since then, Tyson has held on to the lease.

Last July, the company offered to buy out its lease, which doesn’t expire until 2020 and comes with an option to extend the agreement another 15 years. But the property owner didn’t take the offer, worried about ongoing costs of security, maintenance, utilities and property taxes.

Tyson has not said how it will handle offers to take over occupancy of the plant, offering only a statement that it has “a plan in place Michener, Baxter Bolts athletes, members of the Baxter Congregational United Church of Christ and a surplus of tractors.

Travis said it was the first time the Baxter Bolts debuted their school’s new mascot and logo in a parade.

“People have been really supportive of the new re-branding,” Travis said.

“It’s just great to see the community come together.”

Also new this year, the “Iowa History 101” mobile museum made a stop at the Neil Seales Sports Complex to share the history of the 99 counties in Iowa. The multimedia exhibit in a custom-built Winnebago is

for tours for interested buyers or lessees.”

But Jeffrey Counsell, co-founder of Global Food Properties, expects Tyson will agree to leave the site if a new buyer or tenant makes an offer.

“Is there a possibility they could be obstructionist?”

Counsell pondered. “Yes. I think that’s everybody’s worst concern, but there’s no reason to think they will.”

The plant and its 45-acre site are listed for about $2.5 million.

Mark Langfan is a New

York real estate investor whose father owns the Cherokee plant. Langfan said a new landlord could buy the plant and keep Tyson as the tenant until at least 2020, or the property could be leased to a third party if Tyson agrees to vacate its current lease. Or, he said, the property could be sold outright to another manufacturer if Tyson agrees to vacate.

Langfan said his family is willing to accept a below-market offer “so that we can get people in Cherokee working.”

Some Iowa communities consider fireworks restrictions DAVENPORT (AP) — Some Iowa communities are considering new restrictions on fireworks after the state started allowing them for the first time in decades.

Republican Gov. Terry Branstad signed a bill in May that allows the sale of fireworks in the state from June 1-July 8 and Dec. 10-Jan. 3.

The law prevents the ban of fireworks sales but allows limits on their use.

After giving the new state law a trial run, Davenport is looking to reinstate a ban on the use of fireworks within city limits.

“We felt it was important we gave our citizens an opportunity to see if responsible use could happen under those guidelines, and I think we have all been concerned with some of the irresponsible use that we have experienced over the last few weeks,” Mayor Frank Klipsch said.

The fireworks ordinance is expected to go to City Council for approval in August, said City Administrator Corri Spiegel.

Sioux City Mayor Bob Scott is expected to propose restrictions for his city. He says he may support council action to cut down the number of days fireworks can be lit.

“Nobody is respecting the laws and our rules and that’s our problem. It’s common sense. That’s all we are asking — you can’t be firing them off at a quarter to two in the morning,” councilwoman Rhonda Capron said.

The noise could be a nuisance for the elderly, veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and pets, she said.

Sioux City police have received more than 150 calls reporting fireworks violations since June 25.

Police have added extra officers to investigate fireworks violations. Violators are fined $250 if they’re on private property after hours and $500 for setting off fireworks on public property.

Other activities that drew in children included laser tag, a spin-a-roo, the tubs of fun and a animal kingdom bounce house.

Travis said what she likes most about the hometown celebration is seeing what it does for the community.

“It is a lot of work but when people come and tell you thank you it means everything,” Travis said. “We have a lot of people who donate, and it wouldn’t be possible without their support.”

Speedway Continued from Page 1A The family-fun weekend attracted race fan Allan Gugler of Mt. Vernon, and his wife Shirley. Gugler said he is a season ticket holder and enjoys visiting the town of Newton when he gets the chance to attend a race.

“We really enjoy the variety of the racing and the national known drivers,” Gugler said. “We like to bring the whole family with us.”

Gugler said whenever he and his family visit Newton they are sure to explore the town and go antique-ing.

Gugler said most of all when he travels to the Iowa Speedway he knows he will witness, “A good quality, nice, clean and fast race.”

Although there were special events and more rewards offered throughout the weekend, two longtime race fans said they like to attend the races because of the support it brings to their local speedway.

Military veterans Bruce Brassfield and Russell Snitker have been attending the races at Iowa Speedway since its grand opening years ago.

The two season ticket holders said the uplifting atmosphere is a break in their daily routine.

“A lot of times I will run into people I haven’t seen in awhile or I’ll meet new people or veterans,” Brassfield said. “It’s a camaraderie.”

Snitker said he supports all local supports like Cardinal football.

“This is just like another sport to show loyalty to,” Snitker said.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Helio Castroneves (3) has the inside line going into Turn 3 at Iowa Speedway in front of Charlie Kimball (83) during Sunday’s Verizon IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300. There have been 11 IndyCar races at Iowa Speedway and Castroneves has driven in all of them, but it was Sunday the veteran driver reached Victory Lane for the first time in Iowa.

Castroneves claims Iowa Corn 300 victory

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Climbing the Iowa Speedway fence for the first time in 11 Verizon IndyCar Series races was pure joy for series veteran Helio Castroneves.

He is one of only four active IndyCar drivers who have competed in all 11 series races

at the Newton track.

“We’ve been close (to winning) so many times, and finally luck was on our side,” Castroneves said after winning Sunday’s 2017 IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300. “We’ve been working so hard together, but the Hitachi Chevy was on rails. We had a little bit of an issue in the beginning, but

after we set up the car it was great. What a great finish. It’s just like the first time.”

Castroneves is known for climbing track fences following a victory. He hadn’t been able to do that during a threeyear, 54-race drought. Race fans witnessed Castroneves climbing the Iowa Speedway fence.

“I thought maybe the fence climb might be more difficult now, but it wasn’t. To see all those faces of the fans was tremendous,” Castroneves said after claiming his 30th career IndyCar Series victory.

Sunday’s win was his first win of the 2017 season. It was the first IndyCar win at Iowa Speedway by Team Penske.

“I always come here believing this is the year I was going to win here. I always wanted this trophy,” he said about winning at Iowa Speedway.

Second-ranked Winterset beats Newton in 4A regional semifinal

Sargeant beats Theriault off pit road, wins ARCA race at Iowa

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Halfway through the ARCA Racing Series season, five drivers are mathematically still alive for the points championship.

But after a 1-2 finish in the Fans With Benefits 150 at Iowa Speedway on Saturday, it appears to be a two-horse race between Austin Theriault and Dalton Sargeant.

Theriault came into the night with the points lead, but Sargeant carved into that deficit with an impressive win on Newton’s 7/8-mile oval.

Sargeant won a close battle off pit road with about 10 laps to go, chose the line he got to take off the restart and then held off Theriault for his second win of the season.

“This was a really tough race overall,” said Sargeant, driver of the No. 77 Performance Plus Ford. “The biggest thing was my Cunningham Motorsports crew … getting us in and out of pit road in great shape. The car was on the free side in the beginning but it tightened up later in the race. The lane moved up where I thought I was at my best.”

WINTERSET — Newton High’s Cardinals kept the Class 4A second-ranked Winterset Huskies scoreless for three innings. The Cardinals led 1-0 in the 4A Region 8 semifinal Saturday.

The Huskies broke loose in the fourth inning, scoring four runs. They built from there for an 8-1 victory to advance to the regional title game on Tuesday.

Newton’s 2017 season came to a close Saturday on the Huskies’ field. The Cardinals finished 17-19 overall.

Tigerhawks advance in dramatic fashion

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — On a night when the bats controlled the game on both sides, a defensive play in the top of the eighth inning proved to be one of the most important.

Grand View Christian’s Sydney Lane led off the eighth inning with a double, but a textbook relay throw was executed to perfection by the Colfax-Mingo softball team.

Lane’s hard hit ball got over the head of Braedynn Rawlins in right field, but the Tigerhawk sophomore stayed with it. She threw the ball to the cut off player, and senior Alivia Haley then flipped it to sophomore Colbee Cunningham for a big out at third base.

That allowed senior

Russell’s solo home run with one out sent the Class 1A No. 11 Tigerhawks to a dramatic 8-7 victory over the Thun-

der in the 1A Region 8 semifinals. Russell hit a two-run blast earlier in the game to bring her season total to 13, which is now tops in 1A. “There shouldn’t be a spectator here that

didn’t go away tonight saying that wasn’t a fun softball game to watch,” Colfax-Mingo coach Bryan Poulter said. “It was a great game to win and a tough one to lose.

“Congrats to Grand View Christian on a great season. They have made great strides from the beginning of the season. They played a great game. They battled tonight.”

The victory sends the Tigerhawks (24-11) to the regional championship game for the second straight season.

This time, Colfax-Mingo hopes to finish the deal with a trip to the state tournament.

Colfax-Mingo plays 10th-ranked Murray at 7 p.m. Monday in Osceola.

CMB baseball eliminates Ogden again STORY CITY — Junior Travis Lindemoen pitched into the seventh inning and had two hits at the plate to lead the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter baseball team to another postseason win over Ogden.

Lindemoen struck out eight and allowed just one earned run over six innings, and the Raiders kept their CMB brand alive for at least one more game following a 3-2 victory in the Class 2A District 14 quarterfinals Saturday.

It was the third straight season CMB (5-20) has knocked Ogden (14-15) out of the postseason. The Raiders defeated the Bulldogs in the substate final last year and knocked them out in the district semifinals two seasons ago.

their nine-game winning streak snapped.

Senior Megan Ritter had one hit and two steals, junior Jordynn Wesselink finished with one hit and one walk and senior Mikayla Eslinger and freshmen Abby Husak and Holly Jessen had one hit apiece.

The Raiders put a cap on their softball program with back-to-back conference championships. They were fifth at last year’s 3A state tournament.

SOLON — Senior Jaiden Rogers hit a three-run home run to cut the Prairie City-Monroe softball team’s deficit in half, but the Mustangs couldn’t complete the comeback in a season-ending 6-4 loss to sixthranked Solon during Class 3A Region 7 semifinal action.

The Spartans scored four runs in the fourth and went up 6-0 with two more in the sixth. Rogers made it 6-3 in the sixth and then PCM plated its final run on an error in the seventh.

Rogers’ second homer of the season netted three RBIs and freshman Regan Freland scored the fourth run as a pinch runner for Foster in the seventh.

“We had seven or eight hard-hit balls that were right at people,” PCM coach Scott Bridges said. “That was the difference in the game to me.

We only struck out twice.”

Senior Kayla Jennings (13-9) took the loss in the circle after allowing six earned runs on 10 hits with four strikeouts and one walk.

Lynnville-Sully’s season ends in 1A regional softball loss

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Brenna Lanser and Haley James were looking for more — at least one more game to extend their high school softball careers for Lynnville-Sully. Unfortunately, Montezuma broke open a close Class 1A Region 3 semifinal game with a seven-run outburst in the sixth inning Friday night.

The Bravettes kept the Lynnville-Sully Hawks from having big innings their final two at bats. Montezuma (18-12) walked off the Hawks’ field with a 10-4 win and advanced to the regional final on Monday.

James had two singles in her final game in a Hawk uniform and Lanser, who didn’t have a hit, scored a run and drove in a run. Lanser was the team’s leader in RBIs with 27 and second in runs scored with 25.

The Hawks took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the second inning, but the Bravettes tied it at 2-all with a single run in the second.

Sports Tigerhawks Continued from Page 1B

“We can’t let our guard down. We started last year’s game really well and let them back in and couldn’t finish it,” Russell said. “I am excited, but I will be really upset if we don’t do something big.”

Russell finished 4-for-4 at the plate to raise her season average to .534, which ranks tied for 5th in 1A. Her four RBIs pushed that total to 54, which sits tied for second.

Russell also scored three runs and got the win in the circle. She is now 16-4 on the season.

The Tigerhawk senior only retired the Thunder in order three times in the game, but two of those came in the seventh and eighth innings.

Colfax-Mingo sent its 2-3-4 hitters Alivia Haley, Russell and Rhiannon Haley to the plate in the bottom half of the eighth needing just one run to win it. Poulter felt good about that situation.

“You go into that part of the lineup feeling strong about it,” Poulter said about a trio who has combined for 27 home runs and 126 RBIs this season.

“Our first four or five batters can drive the ball and hit doubles. They have good bat sense and perform under pressure well.

“I didn’t take it for granted, but when Amy Russell is batting, as a coach, you feel like she’s going to give the very best chance to succeed. She’s an exceptional hitter, an exceptional player.”

But Russell’s heroics in extra innings may not have been possible without the defensive play in the top half of the frame.

“That was a big relay throw. We know Braedynn has a strong arm. She hit the spot head on and then Alivia fired it to third,” Poulter said. “All three of those components have to come together in that situation, and they did. That was a huge play. Otherwise, there’s no outs with a runner on third. That was a real momentum swing on our side.”

The Tigerhawks were able to take advantage of the momentum with a dramatic come-from-behind win.

Colfax-Mingo scored first when junior Ries Wilson and senior Alivia Haley hit back-to-back doubles in the first inning.

Grand View Christian came right back with a pair of runs in the second and two more in the third to go up 4-1.

In the bottom of the third, Alivia Haley led off with a walk before Russell’s first homer of the game made it 4-3. Alivia Haley was 3-for-4 with two runs, one RBI and one walk in the win.

The Tigerhawks tied the game later in the third when sophomore Delaney Underwood drove in sophomore Mackensie Brown with an RBI single.

Underwood also doubled and laid down a sacrifice bunt in the game.

Russell’s first 1-2-3 inning came in the fourth. That allowed Colfax-Mingo to regain the lead in the bottom half of the inning. With two outs, Alivia Haley singled, went to second on a passed ball and then took third on an error.

Russell drove her in with an RBI single. Rhiannon Haley kept the train moving with a single and then Cunningham made it 6-4 with an RBI single that scored Russell.

The Thunder responded in the top of the fifth. They went back in front with three runs. The first two batters reached before Russell got two of the next three hitters by strikeout. No. 9 hitter Karlie Knode delivered a two-

Both pitchers battled a tight strike zone, forcing them to throw more pitches down the middle of the plate.

There were nine total walks in the game.

“We had those umpires in our last game so I knew what it was going to be like,” said Russell, who allowed seven earned runs on nine hits with seven strikeouts and six walks. “The strike zone gets harder as the game goes along.”

Wilson made sure the Tigerhawks wouldn’t stay down for long. She led off the sixth frame with her third homer of the season, a solo shot that easily cleared the fence in left field.

“I knew the umpire was pretty inconsistent. He was jipping me on a few pitches, so I had to be more defensive up there,” Wilson said. “When I hit the home run, I just went up there knowing if anything was remotely close I had to swing at it. I went after it and got a good swing on it.”

Alivia Haley and Russell followed Wilson’s homer with back-to-back singles, but the game remained tied after Thunder eighth-grader Emma Heffron got three straight outs.

The Tigerhawks threatened again in the seventh but couldn’t win it.

Eighth-grader Madison Gilkison led off with a walk and then moved over to second on Underwood’s bunt.

Sophomore Chelsea Russell reached on a fielder’s choice after Gilkison was caught between second and third.

With Chelsea Russell moving to second during the run down, Wilson couldn’t come through with a clutch hit this time.

Alivia Haley was retired for the first time in the eighth before Russell won it with a deep drive to right field.

“I didn’t think that one was going to be out, but when I saw it go over, I just threw my hands in the air,” Amy Russell said. “I am just glad we found a way to win.

“I knew if we didn’t do it that inning, it probably wouldn’t have gotten done. We had the momentum from the top of the eighth and it was in our favor with 2-3-4 coming up. We had to close it out there.”

Like Poulter, Wilson felt good about her team’s chances with three of the team’s best hitters walking to the plate in a tie game in the eighth.

“She is an offensive threat. You can tell that by the way the defense shifts when she is up,” Wilson said about Amy Russell. “I am just glad she is on my team because I wouldn’t want to play against her. I love watching her hit.”

The win gave Colfax-Mingo a three-game sweep of the Thunder this season. The final game was the most competitive as there weren’t a lot of secrets on either side.

“Grand View can almost count this as a home game,” Poulter said. ‘They have played us three times here. It’s always tough to beat a team three times.

They gained a lot of confidence. They played like they belonged on the same field tonight.”

One year after coming up a run shy against Martensdale-St. Marys, Colfax-Mingo gets another shot at a state berth. Murray (28-5) comes into Monday’s regional final winners of 11 straight games.

“We were in position to win last year. We have to use that game to our advantage,” Poulter said. “It shouldn’t be a surprise that we are in this game.”

Troy Hyde/Daily News The leaders in the ARCA Racing Series’ Fans With Benefits 150 — Shane Lee (22), Dalton Sargeant (77), Austin Theriault (52) and Gus Dean (32) — come down the front stretch at Iowa Speedway on Saturday. Sargeant won the race and Theriault finished second.

ARCA

Continued from Page 1B Theriault still has a lead in the points standings. He now has eight top-five and 10 top-10 finishes in 10 starts this season. Theriault has finished in the top 10 in all 12 of his career starts in the series.

“We had a motor issue right before practice and my guys worked so hard and replaced the motor in less than an hour,” said Theriault, who drives the No. 52 Ken Schrader Ford. “We got behind a little but fought hard all day to get back in it. That last battle with Dalton was pretty intense. We did what we could…he was just a little better. He had a faster car in the end.”

Sargeant’s second win of the season was his fifth top-five and ninth top-10. He joins Theriault as the only multiple winners in the series in 2017.

The win also kept a long ARCA series streak at Iowa Speedway intact.

In 11 ARCA races at the track since the inaugural event in 2006, there have been no repeat winners.

Rookie Sheldon Creed finished a career-best third to earn his first top-five finish of the season, and two Mitchell Motorsports drivers rounded out the top five.

Michael Self, who led 33 laps, was a contender all night and finished fourth in the No. 28 Sinclair Oil Chevrolet despite rear-end damage from a spin earlier in the race.

Kyle Weatherman also spent time up front, leading six laps before settling for fifth in the No. 78 Turn One Condos-Mason Mitchell Motorsports Chevrolet.

Weatherman, who was making his 50th ARCA start, has finished second twice in the ARCA race at Iowa, once in 2013 and a second time in 2015.

Creed, in the No. 12 United Rentals-MDM Motorsports Toyota, led 11 laps.

“We were tight in the center and loose off,” Creed said. “It was tough racing back in the pack, but once we got into the top-five everybody’s a little racier and we got in a better groove. This track’s a lot of fun to drive. Tight in the beginning and loose in the end worked out pretty good for us tonight.”

Self now has two top-five finishes in three starts, while Weatherman claimed his third top-five tally in his seventh start. Team owner Mason Mitchell competed in his first race of the season and finished 14th.

Theriault and Sargeant created more space between the other championship contenders.

Rookie Riley Herbst, Shane Lee, Bret Holmes and Gus Dean came into the weekend sitting in positions 3-6 in the standings but finished 12th, 11th, ninth and 10th, respectively. All four drivers came into the weekend separated by just 75 points.

Herbst, who is just 18 years old, has only had three finishes outside the top 10 this season.

Lee, a Cunningham Motorsports teammate of Sargeant, won the pole for the race and led for the first 54 laps before falling back after a firstround pit stop. He had the fastest lap in the race at 128.78 miles per hour.

His top qualifying speed was 129.4 miles per hour.

Once Sargeant took control on lap 109 of the 150-lap race, he only gave the lead up once, to Theriault, who led the 141st lap.

Sargeant was so far ahead at one point in the race, he nearly lapped Weatherman, who was in fifth place at the time. He had a seven-second lead late in the race before the final caution came out when Eric Caudell spun on the backstretch.

“The caution was the last thing I wanted to see,” Sargeant said. “It definitely made me nervous, but my guys executed the pit stop perfectly.

The General Tires really performed tonight.”

With only five cars left on the lead lap, Sargeant and the rest of the leadlap machines had no choice but to pit for four fresh tires for the final restart.

From there it was a drag race down pit road between Sargeant and Theriault, each bouncing off the other to get the edge.

“I think it really did come down to that,” Theriault said. “I felt like the top line was moving a little better, and that would have been our shot to win it. We may have been able to hold him off, but he was overall a little better than us.”

Vinnie Miller finished a career-best sixth with Spencer Davis trailing in seventh. Sixteen-year-old Christian Eckes was eighth.

Zach Ralston of Springville, Iowa, finished 24th in the 26-car field. He finished 38 of the 150 total laps.

There were six different leaders in a race that lasted less than 90 minutes.

Castroneves is fourth alltime in laps led, passing Al Unser. With the 217 laps led of Sunday’s 300-lap race, Castroneves has 5,947 career laps led. It was his 30th career victory on the circuit.

On a hot summer day in Iowa, there were 13 lead changes as the main leaders Power, Castroneves, Hildebrand traded off and on throughout the race. Power used his pole position to lead the first 19 laps, but Castroneves took over then Hildebrand, Power, Castroneves and that’s how it went.

Castroneves went to the front for good on Lap 268 as he moved past Hildebrand then overtook race leader Marco Andretti, who had not gone in for a pit stop as most of the field had.

“It feels good,” said Hildebrand, who qualified a career-best second on Saturday and led 38 laps in the race. “I definitely think that, under some slightly different circumstances, we had a car to win out there. The guys made a great call to pit early and get out into the lead at the end and try to hustle all the way.

“I think if we’d been on equal tires with Helio, we’d have had something for him there at the end. But all in all, really excited for the Fuzzy’s Vodka crew to get on the podium here again.”

Hunter-Reay said it was a tough drive for him on Sunday but his team just made the car better and better through the whole race. He said the credit goes to his team and engineer, Ray Gosselin, for putting the right setup on the car.

“We finally got it to where I like it — some remnants of the past. A little more straight-line speed and we could’ve given these guys a run for their money. Congratulations to Helio,” Hunter-Reay said. “It’s great to see him win again. He’s been right there knocking on the door for so long. Thank you to all

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News A little celebration fun in post-race interview for Helio Castroneves as he is told he lead 217 of the 300 laps on his way to winning Sunday’s Verizon IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300 at Iowa Speedway.

the Iowa fans, we love coming here. Hopefully we can come back here at night some time, because that is my favorite.”

Castroneves hadn’t won since the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix on June 1, 2014.

He unofficially closed within eight points of series points leader Scott Dixon, who finished eighth.

“It’s great momentum to carry on for the championship, and this is exactly what we need,” said Castroneves. “Now we’re going to Toronto to another place that we run really well in the past, and I am really looking forward to that one.”

There were three cautions in the race and a 13-lap stoppage under a red flag because of a rain shower. Castroneves said it smelled like rain and

his helmet visor was picking up a lot of rain drops. The stoppage was the right thing to do, he said.

Three drivers — Mikhail Aleshin, Carlos Munoz and Conor Daly — were each eliminated in single-car crashes, though none was injured.

Iowa race fans were treated to a day of open-wheel racing with two of the developmental series for IndyCar on the 7/8-mile track before the Iowa Corn 300.

In the Indy Lights Series Mazda 100 Sunday, Matheus Leist went to the front of the field on a restart after 31 laps and stayed there. Leist won the race, but the battle for second was intense.

The car was just perfect today,” said Leist. “The Carlin

boys won the race here the past two years, and yeah, the car was just perfect and (I) managed to use the high line and it worked very well.”

Indy Lights Series points leader Kyle Kaiser was in second then Dalton Kellett made the pass to take over the second-place spot. In the final stages of the race, Santi Urrutia charged past cars to get in a side-by-side battle with Kellett.

Urrutia went high then made his move to get past Kellett. He finished second because no driver was going to catch Leist. Kellett found himself in third on the podium. Leist stays at No. 2 in the points standings behind Kaiser, who finished fifth.

Urrutia crossed the finish line in second place, it was the

Uruguayan who wound up doing celebratory “donuts,” mistakenly thinking he won.

“You know, I just saw the guys running there and I saw that I was quick,” said Urrutia.

“When I passed (Dalton Kellett) because I never saw Leist on the front, so, OK, I’m leading the race, so I slow down a little bit just to save the [tires] and everything. So, when I finished the race I came to the front straight and did donuts and everything and my engineer came on the radio and said, ‘What are you doing?’

I’m celebrating the race, we won. ‘No, you didn’t win, we finished second.’”

Three rookies finished on the USF2000 Championship Mazda Iowa 60 on Sunday.

Oliver Askew maintained his points lead in the series with a wire-to-wire victory in the only oval race for the USF2000 series. The race took a little more than 24 minutes on the Iowa Speedway track.

It was the first oval race for most of the drivers. It was for Askew, second-place finisher Rinus VeeKay and third-place finisher Calvin Ming. Askew won by 3.8 seconds ahead of VeeKay. Askew claimed his sixth victory in nine races this season. VeeKay now trails championship leader Askew by 34 points with five races remaining this season.

Iowa Speedway concludes its racing season on July 28-29 when the NASCAR K&N Pro Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series come to Newton.

Everybody’s talking about what’s in the classifieds.

Astrograph

The house that is divided against itself in one minute can get quickly unified in the next under the threat of a common enemy. It’s not the only way, but it’s the fastest way. If you’re looking for a good enemy, ignorance and intolerance are among the most diabolical. This announcement was brought to you by the solar opposition to Pluto.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 10). You’ll barely be able to contain your pleasure over the unfolding events of the next five weeks. Go ahead and make the commitment you’ve been pondering. You’re ready!

There’s an investment that pays next week. Libra and

Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 12, 22 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The dilemma will be whether it is more worthwhile to be a well-rounded person or to focus in on what you do best and do it to the hilt. If you choose the latter, there will be people in your life who will fill in whatever you’re missing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

There’s a fixed number of things you can ask before the other person gets tired of answering. Be smart about it. The wrong question could put you in a worse position, whereas

the right one will bust open your horizons.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The way it is today is the way it usually is. You’ll give before you get. You’ll pave the relationship road with plenty of goodwill and low expectations of return. And all will work out, as it usually does.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Class 3A No. 4 Saydel rallies to beat Newton

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Cole Cozett makes contact for a bunt down the third base line at a home game earlier this season. The Cardinals lost to host Class 3A No. 4 Saydel, 5-4, on Friday.

DES MOINES — Newton High’s Cardinals out-hit Class 3A fourth-ranked Saydel’s Eagles, but the Eagles found a way to rally for a 5-4 win Friday night.

“We had a good team on the ropes. They got a clutch hit late in the game to pull it out against us,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said.

“We’re starting to string hits together. We had two runners on in the top of the seventh, and we didn’t get the hit we needed.”

Newton had 10 hits in the game led by Ryan Barr with a single and a double. Jaron Roush and Ty Arguello each hit two singles.

Hitting a single each were Brennen Dodd, Trey Vanderlaan, Trevor Ergenbright and Cole Cazett.

The Cardinals came back from a 2-1 deficit to lead 4-2.

They scored three times in the fifth after tying it 1-1 in the fourth. The Eagles regained their early lead with a run in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Saydel was up 1-0 after two innings. In the fourth, Vanderlaan singled and was moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Ergenbright. Barr’s double chased Vanderlaan home to tie the game then the Eagles scored in their half of the inning.

The fifth frame started much like the fourth with Roush leading off with a base hit and advance to second on a sacrifice bunt by Tyler Stanton. Dodd singled followed by an RBI ground-out by Vanderlaan.

Ergenbright drove in the go-ahead run with a base hit.

Barr drew a walk and Arguello connected for an RBI single.

Newton had a 4-2 lead with Stanton on the mound. Brisel said Stanton pitched a strong game. He limited the Eagles to four hits and walked one batter. He had three strikeouts.

In the sixth, Stanton hit two batters. There was an error by the Newton defense and a passed ball which allowed a run to score. With two outs, Saydel’s Maxx Stanton hit a double to drive in two runs to put the Eagles back on top, 5-4.

Newton put two runners on in the top of the seventh with two outs.

“I was sure we were going to at least tie the game, but we didn’t,” Brisel said. “I know this sounds strange, but I’m happy with where we are right now. We’re playing pretty good baseball as we head toward the playoffs.”

Saydel (25-6) broke out of a two-game losing skid with the win over Newton. Newton (826) has two more regular-season games before entering the Class 4A postseason.

On Monday, the Cardinals play at 7:30 p.m. at Class 3A No. 9 Knoxville (26-7). They concluded the regular season in a 7:30 p.m. game on Tuesday at South Tama.

Newton opens Class 4A Substate 2 play on Friday in a 7 p.m. game against 4A fifthranked Ankeny Centennial.

The game will be played at Northview Middle School in Ankeny.

Truex, Kyle Busch, Bell win in NASCAR tripleheader at Kentucky Speedway SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Martin Truex Jr. was dominant throughout and had enough left on a final restart to win the NASCAR Cup race Saturday night at Kentucky Speedway.

Second in points entering the 400-mile event, Truex started second beside Kyle Busch and won the first two stages. Truex led the final segment by as many as 15 seconds before a final caution created

overtime and bunched the field together.

That made no difference as Truex flew past Busch on the restart and went on to his third victory of the season and 10th of his career. He led five times for 152 of 274 laps in the No. 78 Toyota to draw within a point of standings leader Kyle Larson, who finished second in a Chevy.

Chase Elliott was third in

a Chevy, followed by Denny Hamlin and Busch in Toyotas.

Kyle Busch took the lead during a late caution on lap 168 Saturday and held on to win the 300-mile NASCAR Xfinity Series race. The race had been postponed a day earlier because of storms, creating a 700-mile doubleheader for Busch and several other Cup drivers.

Ryan Blaney passed Erik

Jones’ Toyota for second.

Blaney’s Ford finished 1.097 seconds behind, a strong recovery after he was penalized for a pit road tire violation during the caution.

Kevin Harvick was fourth in a Ford, with Ty Dillon fifth in a Chevy.

Christopher Bell overcame an early spin to take the lead by the midpoint and held off Brandon Jones to win the

rain-delayed Camping World Series NASCAR Truck race early Friday at Kentucky Speedway.

Justin Haley was third in a Chevy, with Austin Cindric fourth in a Ford and Noah Gragson fifth in a Toyota.

Truck series points leader Johnny Sauter finished ninth after starting first on owner points when rain washed out qualifying.
