Chapé announces departure from Newton City Council File Photo After serving for more than three years, councilwoman Lin Chapé has decided to step down from the position.

Chapé sited and her recent health history and a desire to move to the Gatlinburg, Tenn. area as reasons for her departure.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Councilwoman Lin Chapé has announced Tuesday she is stepping down from her position as an at-large council member, effective immediately. Chapé sites an upcoming move to the Gatlinburg, Tenn. area for her departure.

“I know this headline may be a shock to my constituents, friends and the wonderful

community of Newton,” said Chapé. “But after a recent battle with colon and bladder cancer, I’ve been given good news at all of my follow-ups from my wonderful medical team at Skiff Medical Center and the Mercy Health Network. As a four time cancer survivor, I’ve decided to not push my luck and take advantage of my good fortune.”

Chapé said she has always loved the Gatlinburg area and had considered mov-

ing there in the future. With her health history taken into consideration, Chapé decided now is the time to make the move.

“Lin has done an outstanding job serving our community as an at-large council member,” said mayor Mike Hansen.

“Her ability to connect with her constituents and her leadership style will be greatly missed. I wish her well.”

Man facing child endangerment charge following 2-vehicle accident Newton man accused of leaving scene of accident Newton Daily News

Kayla Langmaid/Daily News Kody Gathercole assists customers at the cash register at Hibbett Sports. The store opened in Newton at the beginning of the month. The store is set to have its grand opening on July 13.

Hibbett Sports kicks off business on First Avenue

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News A new sporting goods store in Newton is seeing steady traffic after its first few weeks of business on First Avenue East. Hibbett Sports has drawn in young athletes and families as it approaches its grand opening.

Store manager Devyn Sacrison said the store is set to have its grand

opening on Thursday, and so far customers have seemed to be enjoying the store and are having a good time.

“Hibbett Sports is a family-based store and we strive for young athletes and families to come in and to continue shopping here,” Sacrison said. “We have gotten a lot of great feedback so far.”

Sacrison said many customers have been

excited and impressed with the store’s layout and appearance, along with its number of items. Sacrison noted that the items vary in popularity, but the athletic shorts, tank tops and shoes have been a hit.

Prior to moving to Newton, Sacrison worked at a Hibbett Sports in Dubuque, and she was offered the store manager position

in Newton right after she graduated from college.

“I graduated with a business administration degree, and this is everything I wanted to be doing,” Sacrison said.

Hibbett Sports currently employs five local workers. Sacrison said the store is still looking to employ more.

Police were notified that White ran westbound from the accident, and he was seen walking on train tracks WHITE | 3A

Five things to know from the Tuesday Jasper County Board of Supervisors meeting

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News 1. Kevin Van Kooten was approved to move forward with the addition of a cattle confinement feeding operation at his location south of Lynnville. A construction permit was approved following a public hearing for Van Kooten to add a new 100 head deep bedded beef cattle confinement building at his existing swine confinement facility. With the addition, the operation will expand to 2,024 animal units consisting of 4,810 head of finishing swine and 100 head of beef cattle.

2. The engineer’s office was approved to purchase a new air conditioner and

furnace unit for the building located at 910 N. 11th Ave. E. The low bid from Brooker Corporation of Newton for $17,207 was selected, coming in almost $3,000 under the budgeted price. Assistant to the Engineer Pam Olson said with more than $3,000 in rebates, the project will come in at just more than $14,000.

3. The board gave approval for the Submarine Veterans Memorial Highway to pass through Jasper County.

The memorial highway will be on state highways 330 and 65 passing through Jasper County. It will run from the Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown to the S-36 Memorial South of the State Capitol in Des Moines.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | July 12, 2017

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Wednesday, July 12, the 193rd day of 2017. There are 172 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 12, 1967, rioting erupted in Newark, New Jersey, over the police beating of a black taxi driver; 26 people were killed in the five days of violence that followed.

On this date: In 1817, author, poet and naturalist Henry David Thoreau was born in Concord, Mass.

In 1862, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill authorizing the Army Medal of Honor.

In 1909, the House of Representatives joined the Senate in passing the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, allowing for a federal income tax, and submitted it to the states. (It was declared ratified in February 1913.)

In 1948, the Democratic National Convention, which nominated President Harry S. Truman for a second term of office, opened in Philadelphia.

In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower was flown by helicopter from the White House to a secret mountaintop location as part of a drill involving a mock nuclear attack on Washington.

In 1977, President Jimmy Carter defended Supreme Court limits on government payments for poor women’s abortions, saying, “There are many things in life that are not fair.”

In 1984, Democratic presidential candidate Walter F. Mondale announced his choice of U.S. Rep. Geraldine A. Ferraro of New York to be his running-mate; Ferraro was the first woman to run for vice president on a major-party ticket.

In 1988, Democratic presidential candidate Michael S. Dukakis tapped Sen. Lloyd Bentsen of Texas as his running-mate.

In 2001, Abner Louima, the Haitian immigrant tortured in a New York City police station, agreed to an $8.7 million settlement with the city and its police union.

Ten years ago: Presidential hopeful Barack Obama drew the loudest cheers of the eight Democratic candidates at an NAACP civil rights forum in Detroit as he assailed the Bush administration’s record on race relations. The House of Representatives voted 223-201 to withdraw U.S. troops by spring 2008 despite a veto threat from President George W. Bush.

Five years ago: Vice President Joe Biden rallied support for President Barack Obama at the NAACP’s convention in Houston, declaring that Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s election-year agenda would hurt — not help — working families in the black community.

One year ago: President Barack Obama visited Dallas, where five police officers were killed the previous week by a black man seeking vengeance for police killings; Obama said a week of deeply troubling violence seemed to expose “the deepest fault lines of our democracy,” but insisted the nation was not as divided as it seemed.

With hugs and handshakes, Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton for president during an appearance in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Today’s Birthdays Movie director Monte Hellman is 88.

Actor-comedian Bill Cosby is 80. Fitness guru Richard Simmons is 69. Actor Jay Thomas is 69. Singer Walter Egan is 69.

That’s Odd Groom arrested over New York backyard wedding fireworks MASSAPEQUA, N.Y. (AP) — Guests watching a fireworks display after a New York wedding were cheering the bride, groom and booms when police arrived.

The groom ended up under arrest.

Nassau County police say they were called to a Massapequa home early Saturday and found a big party with professional-level pyrotechnics in the backyard.

Police say 39-year-old Thomas Giglio explained he was setting them off to celebrate his wedding.

He was arraigned Saturday on a fireworks possession charge.

Bond was set at $5,000.

His lawyer’s name isn’t immediately available. No working phone number for him could immediately be found, and a message left at a possible phone number for a relative wasn’t immediately returned.

2. TRUMP’S FBI PICK TO FACE QUESTIONS ABOUT INDEPENDENCE Christopher Wray faces a Senate confirmation hearing that will undoubtedly focus on the political tumult surrounding his nomination.

3. GOP PLANNING NEW REPEAL OF ‘OBAMACARE’ Sen. John Cornyn of Texas says the measure will likely keep a pair of tax hikes on wealthier Americans that Obama’s statute imposed to help finance its expanded coverage.

Comedy auteurs who write, act, direct could hit Emmy jackpot LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Emmy Award nominations are announced Thursday, multiple champagne toasts may be in order for a multitasking troupe of sitcom stars.

Aziz Ansari, Donald Glover and Issa Rae are among those who lead shows they also created or co-created, write and sometimes even direct, and who could reap a welcome embarrassment of Emmy riches.

They are TV’s comedy auteurs, with people of color and women well-represented in their top ranks. While it took the industry decades and new platforms like streaming to give them opportunities, the TV academy isn’t wasting time in granting deserved recognition.

As with its big-screen sibling, the Oscars, the Emmys are under pressure to give diversity its due, said Tom O’Neil, author of “The Emmys” and editor of Gold Derby, an awards handicapping website.

“The Emmys need to demonstrate that they’re relevant in a modern, rainbow-spanned world,” O’Neil said. “If they fail,

AP Photo Aziz Ansari, Donald Glover and Issa Rae are among those who star in shows they also created or co-created, write and sometimes even direct. In return, they could reap Emmy nominations in a number of categories. The nominations will be announced Thursday.

then liberal Hollywood looks like all talk, no sincere action.”

“Master of None” is the brainchild of Ansari, the South Carolina-born son of immigrants from India, and Alan Yang, his Asian-American creative partner. Glover’s “Atlanta” and Rae’s “Insecure” reflect their perspectives as African-Americans.

Netflix’s sophomore “Master of None” already boasts a 2016 Emmy for Ansari and Yang for best writing, as well as nods that year for best comedy series and for Ansari as actor and director.

FX’s “Atlanta” and

HBO’s “Insecure” are in their first year of competition, with Glover already the winner of a Golden Globe in January for best comedy actor and Rae earning a Globes nomination as best actress.

The matriarch of this expanding auteur family, Lena Dunham’s “Girls,” is in the running for its sixth and final season on HBO. The Emmy Awards are set to air Sept. 17 on CBS with host Stephen Colbert.

“Definitely, ‘Girls’ was really influential,” said Yang. “When was the last time a female creator in her mid-20s got to make her own HBO show? That

doesn’t happen. You might have a 25-year-old star, but to have that person also be creator and director and writer, it showed it could work.”

While the series was pivotal for the multi-talented Dunham and other women hoping to follow her, it drew fire for its allwhite lead cast. Ethnicity remains TV’s bigger hurdle, as it has from the medium’s early days.

When “The Dick Van Dyke Show” debuted it 1961, it was creator Carl Reiner’s second stab at the sitcom. The first, a pilot titled “Head of the Family” and starring Reiner as Rob Petrie, didn’t evoke network interest.

In interviews, Reiner has said he realized he was wrong for the role of a New York City comedy writer and family man.

Reiner, who is Jewish, certainly wasn’t right for TV then: The year the show debuted, virtually all family sitcoms featured stringently non-ethnic characters with surnames including Cleaver (“Leave it to Beaver”) and Nelson (“The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet”).

“This is kind of what Hibbett Sports does, they like to bring their business to small towns, and they like to be located in communities that are overlooked,” Sacrison said.

Sacrison said all comments she has received from customers so far have been positive. Sacrison said customers expressed excitement that they won’t have to travel

to Des Moines for sporting goods, and they also say they will definitely come back to the store.

“We’re just really excited to grow the city and hopefully be around for quite awhile,” Sacrison said. “People should really come and check us out because we are new and we are excited to assist you.”

Continued from Page 1A Chapé has served on the Newton City Council since 2014, sits on the Newton Main Street Board of Directors, served on the Skiff Medical Center Board of Directors and owns Chapé Consults, LLC. She is also a member of the Greater Area Newton Chamber of Commerce and has volunteered with many local and area organizations.

“In my time with the city of Newton, Lin has been a dedicated elected official. She has shown a strong dedication to our community and a deep understanding of those living here,” city administrator Matt Muckler said. “We will miss her in her official capacity but know that she will continue to be an active member of our community until she leaves for Tennessee.”

Hansen said he will advise city council to appoint a temporary replacement for Chapé to serve until the election results have been certified in the upcoming election in November.

“It’s hard to leave each of you, this wonderful community and our exciting journey but I know this is what I need to do,” Chapé said. “I do want to share three things that I’ve learned from my time in Newton. First, everyone should serve their community in some way, shape or form because serving your community is the only way to truly live in your community. Second, attend meetings and ask questions.

You can do these two things at the same time or take the time to reach out to City Council members and directors of different organizations, such as Newton Main Street, the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce or Newton Development Corporation. Last, be patient with change. Change is hard but change is a good thing.”

DNR completes Operation Dry Water campaign DES MOINES — The Iowa Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Bureau participated in the national Operation Dry Water campaign June 30 through July 2.

The goal of the campaign was to raise awareness about the dangers of boating while under the influence and promote safety while boating.

During the three-day enforcement operation, 153 officers participated, spending more than 1,800 hours making contact with 1,463 vessels and 5,808 boaters.

Six Boating While Intoxicated (BWI) arrests were made and 478 citations/warnings were issued.

“We stress the dangers boating while under the influence of drugs or alcohol,” said Jeff

Swearngin, DNR law enforcement bureau chief. “It is no different than driving a vehicle under the influence; in fact, at times it can be more dangerous. It is a serious problem.”

As always, the DNR reminds boaters to boat sober, always wear your life jacket and take a boating safety educational course.

Officers spent time at Okoboji, Clear Lake, Saylorville, Coralville Reservoir/Lake MacBride, Lake

Delhi and both the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.

The DNR Conservation Officers were assisted by Arnolds Park Police Department, Louisa County Sheriff ’s Office, Clayton County Sheriff ’s Office, Johnson County Sheriff ’s Office, DNR Park Rangers, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Polk County Conservation Board, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, Illinois DNR and Wisconsin DNR.

AP Exclusive: Iowa drops inmate sanctions in ‘unusual’ case IOWA CITY (AP) — Ending a case that’s been called a remarkable injustice, prison officials have dropped all sanctions imposed on an Iowa inmate for his role in an alleged 2009 gang rape that he says never happened.

The surprise decision by the Iowa Department of Corrections is a victory for Joe Byrd, who had denied involvement in the alleged attack through 7 ½ years of hearings and appeals. After having long insisted that Byrd was guilty despite the doubts

of a prison judge and investigator, department officials will now expunge the discipline from Byrd’s record as if the case never happened.

The decision will shave Byrd’s sentence by restoring one year of earned time that he had lost and remove the classification of Byrd as a sex offender, which would have required him to complete treatment before becoming parole-eligible.

In exchange, Byrd agreed to drop an appeal in which he was challeng-

SOON IT WILL BE

ing the rules governing inmate disciplinary hearings, including the denial of lawyers, the limited ability to call witnesses, the use of secret evidence, and a low standard of proof that allows judges to find guilt even if only “some evidence” supports it. Byrd also agreed not to sue the state for damages.

Byrd’s attorney Philip Mears, who has represented inmates for 35 years, said the compromise ends what is perhaps “the most incredibly remarkable and unusual” prison disci-

eastbound from West 11th Street North.

White was arrested later that day on warrants for charges stemming from the incident. White was also arrested for a probation violation warrant. During his arrest, he attempted to flee.

The child was taken to the emergency room for minor injuries sustained in the accident.

White is facing charges of driving while license barred, leaving the scene of a personal injury accident, failure to yield on a left hand turn, striking fixtures, failure to maintain control, child endangerment, possession of drug paraphernalia and interference with official acts.

White was taken to the Jasper County Jail where he remains without bond as of Tuesday.

plinary case he’s seen.

“To this day, neither Mr. Byrd nor myself has seen what the evidence was against him,” Mears said.

“We do know that the way it was handled by the department was pretty bad.”

Retired prison judge William Soupene has called the case one of the biggest apparent miscarriages of justice during his 42-year career in which he handled 100,000 cases, saying it bothered him years later.

Department officials had no immediate comment Tuesday.

Sweet small town traditions

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | July 12, 2017

Candidly Unfiltered Kayla Langmaid

I’ve always grown up as a small town girl, and before you start singing lyrics from Journey’s “Small Town Girl,” I pretty much grew up in the middle of a cornfield. It was fabulous.

My neighbors as a child were teenagers who babysat my sister and I, and our core group of friends consisted of our cousins. I couldn’t ask for better memories of playing outside on the farm.

I can only hope I can provide a similar lifestyle for my kids one day.

I think the decision to buying a house in Baxter was one of the best decisions my soon-to-be hubby and I made.

After this past weekend, I can truly say that the residents of Baxter are friendly, welcoming and fun. Adam and I experienced our first Baxter Fun Days, and I hope it’s one of many.

I attended the tractor pull, the parade, the vendor show and indulged in some tasty food.

The Baxter Fun Days committee did a phenomenal job of planning a variety of events for all ages, and it was pretty clear that people had traveled from Des Moines and surrounding areas to attend, including some of my family members and friends.

The weekend was especially memorable for Adam and I because he was able to debut his newly established

farmhouse furniture business, Back 40 Woodworks. He has always been the best handyman and carpenter and now he is showing it off to the world, and I couldn’t be more proud.

Adam and my sister, Nicole, set up a tent at the vendor show and it was a hit. Adam’s furniture worked perfectly as perfect displays for Nicole’s business Garnished Decor, which consists of signs and picture holders.

Nicole’s signs are all handmade and she carefully places the lettering with a cricut machine. My favorite piece so far that she has made is a welcome sign for our wedding.

Every time people would stop at their tent, they were nothing but friendly and would ask us a ton of questions about how we liked Baxter, what we did for a living and many people already knew us as the “new” neighbors.

My favorite thing that people

would say after they found out we live in the yellow house was, “You guys are the ones with the big dog in the window.”

You see, our big black lab loves to people watch, and I’m almost positive that all he does is sit on the window sill and growl if anyone gets close when we aren’t home. He is really just a cuddlebug that pretends to be tough.

Since we have moved here, we have been impressed by the small town atmosphere, the local market and the quietness of the town. If I had to choose a place to buy my first home again, I would definitely choose Baxter. The houses here sell like hotcakes.

I am looking forward to the journey Adam and I have ahead of us as we will be married in September and begin another year of living in Baxter.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

What if there’s no Trump-Putin conspiracy?

This week, The New York Times dropped a potential bombshell: It alleged that Donald Trump Jr., then-Trump presidential campaign manager Paul Manafort and President Trump’s son-inlaw, Jared Kushner, met with a Russian government-linked lawyer in order to hear potential dirt about Hillary Clinton. The media immediately declared victory — this was obviously the first step toward establishing the Trump-Russia collusion about which they have crowed for nearly a year.

Meanwhile, Trump issued a series of tweets implying that he created a relationship of trust with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and that he might consider the foundation of a joint cybersecurity “unit” with the regime that allegedly attempted to influence the American election.

All of this looks rather suspicious, unless it turns out that pretty much every Trumpian scandal can be explained through a combination of Trump’s ego and the incompetence of those around him.

Here’s the truth: Even if every allegation surrounding Trump Jr., Manafort and Kushner regarding this meeting is true, that’s still not evidence of any working relationship between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. At best, it’s evidence that Trump Jr. and Co. weren’t averse to attempts to feed them information. But as all accounts of the meeting state, no actual information was transferred, which means that there’s still no Trump-Russia collusion.

What of Trump’s bizarre behavior regarding Putin? The most obvious explanation isn’t nefarious manipulation but pure, old-fashioned spite. Trump feels assaulted by the media who have been accusing him of being a Putin puppet since mid-2016. Rather than distancing himself from Putin, Trump’s initial tendency is always to “punch back 10 times harder,” as Melania Trump put it. That means embracing Putin, demonstrating a nonchalant apathy toward rumors and even treating Putin as a potential partner — after all, he has treated Trump more nicely than the media accusing him of corruption. From an egocentric perspective, Trump has more in common with Putin than he does with CNN. That may be ugly, but it’s also not collusion. It’s not even in the same ballpark as then-President Obama promising “flexibility” to the Russians before the 2012 election.

This leaves the media short of the kill shot they’ve been implicitly promising for months.

And that, in turn, makes the media desperate to prove that this hasn’t all been a waste of time, a perverse attempt to find conspiracies in alphabet soup. And that means overplaying every single story into the Harbinger of Doom.

Here’s the truth: Trump isn’t a conspiratorial mastermind. He’s a man irked by empty criticisms and dedicated to kicking his enemies in their most vulnerable areas. Sometimes that looks like he’s reinforcing their theories. He isn’t. So long as the media insist that Trump is someone he isn’t, they’ll keep finding conspiracies that don’t fit the facts or the personality.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Making utility bills rise again It’s summer and the mercury is soaring.

Temperatures are higher than ever, it turns out. Last year was the hottest year since humanity started recording temperatures, and it’s going to get much worse in the years to come, as a recent University of Hawaii study shows.

The relentlessly hot conditions in many parts of the country this summer mean that our air conditioners and refrigerators are working harder — and burning through more energy — to maintain a comfortable temperature for our families and a safe temperature for our food. And we pay for this increased energy use in our utility bills every month.

For me, it’s comforting to know that both my air conditioner and my refrigerator come with a little blue Energy Star label.

Those labels indicate that they use less energy than comparable models without it.

If you’re like me, you like to save money on your bills, and you probably look for that blue label when you buy household appliances.

Energy Star is a government program that costs about $50 million a year to operate. It saves consumers about $34 billion (with a “b”) in energy costs annually.

Put another way, every dollar in government spending on Energy Star produces $680 in broadly shared public benefits. That’s quite a return on investment!

Why, then, is the Trump administration proposing the complete elimination of the Energy Star program? That’s right: The proposed White House budget allocates precisely $0 for the popular label.

From the standpoint of serving people’s actual needs, this should be a non-starter. It would almost literally take $34 billion

Another View Basav Sen every year out of the pockets of regular people and businesses — and hand that windfall revenue to the utility companies who sell them electricity.

It also means those utilities will burn more coal and natural gas, propping up the dirty energy industries this administration apparently loves.

We’ll all be the ones paying for this love-fest between the administration and coal, oil, gas, and utility companies — in the form of higher energy bills, higher medical bills for asthma and other illnesses, and damages from heat waves, flooding, droughts, wildfires, and other impacts of releasing more climate-altering greenhouse gases.

The administration routinely cites “jobs” as the justification for its attack on sensible energy and environmental policy. But

energy efficiency employment totaled 2.2 million jobs last year, compared to 522,000 for coal and natural gas combined. That’s a difference of more than 4 to 1.

So the administration wants to undermine energy efficiency, a proven job creator that saves consumers money, to prop up polluting industries with far weaker job creation potential.

The excuse of “jobs” is just that — a flimsy excuse.

The excuse of saving public money isn’t tenable either. The $50 million cost of the program is chump change for the federal government, given that overall federal discretionary spending is more than $1 trillion, and pays for itself 680 times over.

Apparently, the Trump administration’s real intent behind eliminating Energy Star is to Make Utility Bills Rise Again, without regard to the very real harm it does to your household budget and to the environment.

Girls’ mom needs jump start in conversation about puberty DEAR ABBY: I’m a mother of three beautiful little girls. I’m nervous about having to talk with my oldest about puberty and sex. She’s turning 10, and I know I need to start explaining certain things to her, but I have no idea how. My mother never sat me down and talked to me about anything, really, so my mom would not be of much help. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. — MINNESOTA MOM OF THREE DEAR MOM: You can spare your daughter a frightening experience when her first period arrives if you start talking to her now, before it happens. Start the conversation by making the message positive — that she will “become a woman” soon and tell her what to expect. Show her what to do in case you are not there and what supplies she will need to take care of herself. That’s step one.

A short time later, ask her what she knows about reproduction. Because reproduction is taught in some schools, she may surprise you by how much she already knows. If she doesn’t, start talking to her about how her body works and your family values. It is important that parents also talk to their children about drugs and alcohol well before they start to experiment. My booklet “What Every Teen Should Know” covers sexuality as well as other topics, including dating, peer pressure, sexually transmitted diseases, drugs and alcohol. It can be ordered by sending your name and address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby Teen Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. Order it for yourself and review it before starting your discussions with your daughter.

My Teen booklet has been distrib-

uted in doctors’ offices as well as by educators and religious leaders. The more information you can provide your daughters, the better prepared those girls will be to make informed choices in the future.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been with my girlfriend for seven years and, for the most part, our sex life is great.

However, we’ve had disagreements when I suggested ways to spice it up.

I proposed costume/role play where she would dress up as an elf or other fantasy genre character. She hates the idea (and elves) and suggested lingerie (which I have bought for her in the past, but gets worn once or twice before being thrown away). I don’t think my suggestion is outrageous compared to some of the letters I’ve seen in your column over the years. Am I wrong for thinking she’s being closed-minded? — COSPLAY CURIOUS IN CALGARY DEAR “COS”: It strikes me that your girlfriend may be more clothes-minded than closed-minded. It’s a fact of life that some people are more sexually adventurous than others. Because she finds the idea of dressing as an elf unappealing, choose another fantasy figure you can agree upon.

Officials ID body of woman pulled from river in June WATERLOO — Officials have identified a woman whose body was pulled from the Wapsipinicon River last month.

The Iowa State Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the body found June 15 is that of 47-year-old Rhonda Apfel, of Waterloo. Dr. Jonathan Thompson with the state examiner’s office says the cause of death hasn’t been determined and is pending further tests. Authorities had been looking for Apfel since May 28 near the river near Dunkerton.

DES MOINES — A former Iowa Senate Republican Caucus aide has testified in her sexual harassment lawsuit that sex, race and sexual orientation were regular topics of conversations and jokes in the office.

The 39-year-old Kirsten Anderson testified in her lawsuit Tuesday. Much of her testimony focused on the behavior of a male senior analyst whom she said in 2010 seemed angry and daily referred to women using an obscenity.

The trial opened Monday in Polk County District Court.

Governors from US states gather amid multiple challenges PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The nation’s governors gather this week amid great uncertainties for their states — on health care, solutions to the opioid overdose epidemic, even how to address the effects of climate change without help from the federal government.

Proposed changes to the nation’s existing health care law will be front and center as Republican leaders in the U.S. Senate seek ways to salvage their overhaul effort.

Governors from both parties have spoken out against elements of the most recent bill, which could have enormous consequences for the states. Their nonpartisan group, the National Governors Association, has called on the Senate to give governors a say in shaping any reforms.

Their summer meeting begins Thursday in

Providence and will include an address by Vice President Mike Pence.

Governors in states that expanded Medicaid under former President Barack Obama’s health care law are especially concerned as Republicans in Congress try to make good on their repeated promises to repeal and replace the law.

A bill that passed the House and one proposed in the Senate eventually would phase out the federal subsidy that most states used to expand Medicaid coverage to low-income adults who don’t have children at home. The expansion has provided coverage to about 11 million Americans in 31 states.

The GOP bills also would cap how much the federal government would pay for state-run Medicaid programs in the future while giving states more say over how to use the money

they do receive. Medicaid is the biggest source of federal revenue for states and is among the largest expenses in most state budgets.

“It’s important for us to figure out a way to speak with one voice to the Trump administration to explain that this is going to hurt a lot of people in a lot of states, regardless of whether there’s a Democrat or Republican in the governor’s mansion,” said Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo, a Democrat who is hosting the summit.

Reaching a consensus on the future of the Affordable Care Act is proving difficult, in part because some states expanded their Medicaid programs while others did not. Those that did not also would have to grapple with the cuts to Medicaid overall.

In either case, states would have to figure out

how to afford coverage for low-income residents or deal with people who would go without insurance and turn up in emergency rooms when they needed care.

Yet many governors also face turmoil in their state’s private health

insurance market, as people who do not get coverage through their employer or Medicaid have faced skyrocketing premiums and fewer choices.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, a Republican, said she wants Congress “to

Groups help feed tri-state area children over the summer DUBUQUE (AP) — Though many students look to summer break with excitement, it can be a source of anxiety for others.

Without the consistency of school breakfasts and lunches, some children do not have the same access to healthy food during the summer months, according to Tara Notz, principal for the Andrew (Iowa) Community School District.

“We know that offering them a variety of nutritious things is what’s best for all of us,” she said. “During the school year, we’re always able to offer that, but during the summer, that kind of goes away. ... Having that consistency in the summer is really good for them.”

Enter a bevy of schools and community organizations, who

collectively serve tens of thousands of meals to tri-state-area children over the summer.

Many organizations said they see an uptick in need for food during the summer, and they serve meals to combat that food insecurity.

“We feed kids every day, so it just makes natural sense to continue doing this during the summer,” said Clif Cameron, director of food and nutrition services for the Western Dubuque Community School District.

On a recent afternoon at the Terrace Heights community center in northern Dubuque, 13 children enjoyed a lunch that included cheesy breadsticks, fruit slushies, curly fries and carrots. Staff from the

Boys and Girls Club of Greater Dubuque and volunteers assisted the children as they received their meals.

“It was really good,” said nine-year-old Caiden Cole.

This summer, the Boys and Girls Club expects to serve more than 30,000 free meals to children ages 6 to 18 at breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack sites around town.

The cost of the food is covered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program, with additional help from United Way of Dubuque Area Tri-States, according to Dan Reiter, program administrator for the Boys and Girls Club.

“The kids are assured of getting two good meals that are

nutritionally complete each day at all the open sites,” he said.

Several other organizations will serve meals this summer through the USDA program.

Among them is the Western Dubuque school district, which is sponsoring the program this year for the first time.

Any child, regardless of income level, can receive free meals at James Kennedy Public Library in Dyersville.

Cameron said it is important to feed children whose families struggle to provide nutritious meals, but also to serve any child who wants a meal.

The Andrew Community School District also serves students meals through the federal program, as does Platteville

TM

(Wisconsin) Public Schools and other area school districts and organizations.

“If there’s an opportunity for us to take care of students in the community that we serve, we want to utilize these options,” said Kristoffer Brown, business administrator for Platteville Public Schools, who is helping coordinate the summer food effort.

Area food pantries also said they typically see an uptick in need during the summer.

“I think that’s true with every pantry across the country,” said Dave Lechnir, director of the Lions Club East Dubuque (Illinois) Community Food Pantry.

“When kids are out, the pantry gets used more because the demand is bigger.”

Iowa city art incubator hopes to support local artists

Iowa church wins award for restoration project REMSEN (AP) — After a painstaking restoration, a 113-year-old church in Remsen has been given a historical building award by the State Historical Society of Iowa.

St. Mary’s Church, part of the Diocese of Sioux City, was the recipient of the 2016 Margaret Keyes Award, recognizing “outstanding” preservation projects.

The brick church, built in 1904, was sliding into disrepair before restoration started in 2010. Its roof was leaking, its bricks needed new mortar, some of its stone trim was crumbling, and its copper roof decorations were in poor condition.

Norine Harvey, development director for St. Mary’s schools and parish, said the Neo-Gothic structure was in sore need of rehabilitation.

“It’s been apparent for quite a few years, with the leaky roof, water leaking into the vestibule of the church,” Harvey said. “It really, really needed help.”

So the church raised funds and applied for tax credits, and eventually the building got a brand-new slate roof, new copper roof ornaments and gutters, replacement stones and re-pointed masonry. In total, the restoration cost over $1 million.

The replacement elements were kept fairly close to the originals, down to the use of real slate and copper on the roof. Because of the apparent care taken in repairing the building, Harvey was contacted by the State Historic Preservation Office, which invited the church to apply for the Margaret Keyes Award, which they were given last month.

The award does not include a cash prize, though the church was able to obtain a different financial boost from the state.

“Our tax credit was our ‘cash prize,’” Harvey said, laughing.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Getting retail space for a small-business owner in Iowa City’s bustling downtown is tough. Getting an arts studio or a spot dedicated to showcasing art may be even tougher.

Enter RADInc. in the heart of downtown Iowa City. Its name is an acronym for Retail Art Design Incubator. In the space that long held The Den and its mix of college apparel, sundries and head shop paraphernalia now sits a business unlike anything else in downtown.

RADInc., in its role of a retail incubator, sells items made by local artisans and businesses who cannot afford a storefront in downtown Iowa City or make enough money with traditional consignment deals, said Simeon Talley, one of the businesses founders.

So far, RADInc. has sold items from over 30 different business owners.

As an art incubator, the second floor of the space is dedicated to supplying local artists a shared studio space for a relatively low price. It also has plenty of space for art exhibitions for local artists and traveling exhibitions.

The space also has room for events behind the retail space. Since opening March 23, the space has hosted 18 different special events, including film screenings, meetings, workshops, play rehearsals, dance parties, concerts and even the launch of a local nonprofit.

Cardinals fall in 10 innings

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News TAMA — Even in backto-back losses to ranked Class 3A teams last week, Newton High head coach Dustin Brisel liked the direction the Cardinal baseball team was headed. He said the Cardinals were building up momentum for the 4A playoffs.

“We didn’t play well tonight. We didn’t hit the ball,” Brisel said after Newton dropped a 4-3 decision in 10 innings to host South Tama on Tuesday. “We had many opportunities to score runs and win the game.”

Brisel said it wasn’t the way he believed the Cardinals would end the regular Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Blayden Rhone hustles down the line after hitting the ball during a home game this season. The Car- season.

The Cardinals put up a run on the scoreboard in the first inning Tuesday against the Trojans. With one gone, Tyler Stanton reached on an error and Brennen Dodd was issued a walk.

Trey Vanderlaan hit a fielder’s choice as Stanton was out going to third base.

Ryan Barr was safe on another South Tama miscue, allowing Dodd to score.

Newton went up 2-0 in the top of the third. Dodd had a one-out base hit and Barr reached on a two-out error. Trevor Ergenbright had an RBI single.

VAN METER — The Prairie City-Monroe baseball team got strong pitching from its three best hurlers on Tuesday during a Class 2A District 14 semifinal game against Roland-Story.

Unfortunately, the other two phases of the game let down the Mustangs during a 5-0 loss to the Heart of Iowa Conference rival Norse.

PCM had only two hits at the plate and committed five errors in the field in a season-ending loss.

The Norse only scored one earned run in the game.

“We are not going to tip toe around it. We didn’t play well enough to win,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said.

Tigerhawks, Hawks advance in 1A district

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News COLFAX — Win and advance is the name of the game in the postseason. Two area baseball teams did just that Tuesday night in Colfax, but did it in different ways in Class 1A District 11 play.

Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks moved on behind the complete-game pitching of junior Elijah Collins.

Collins was in control on the mound in a one-hit, shutout — 3-0 — of Melcher-Dallas. Collins racked up 13 strikeouts.

Colfax-Mingo’s Tigerhawks powered past Montezuma’s Braves, 12-2 in five innings. The Tigerhawks cranked out 13 hits, stole six bases and played solid defense in eliminating a fellow South Iowa Cedar League team.

On Thursday, the district semifinal games will be played in Bussey hosted by Twin Cedars. Lynnville-Sully (16-7) take on top-seeded Moravia (21-7) at 5 p.m. and Colfax-Mingo (17-5) plays Twin Cedars (17-10) at 7 p.m.

The semifinal winners play for the District 11 title at 7 p.m. Saturday in Bussey. The District 11 champion advances to the Class

1A Substate 6 championship game on Tuesday at Knoxville, playing against the District 12 champion.

Substate champions earn a berth in the Class 1A state tournament, July 21, 22, 24-29, at Principal Park in Des Moines.

Lynnville-Sully and Melcher-Dallas (13-13) opened the district doubleheader on Colfax-Mingo’s field Tuesday.

Collins pitched four innings of no-hit ball against the Saints before Sam Houston singled with one out in the fifth. Collins struck out the next batter and coaxed a fielder’s choice to end the inning.

The Hawks were protecting a 1-0 lead at the time. They had scored with two gone in the second frame. Josh Dunsbergen singled and ended up at second on an errant throw. Cody Gibbs doubled to drive in the run.

“Elijah came up big for us tonight. He challenged the hitters all night by getting up early in the count,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Bob Scandridge said. “I liked our energy level tonight and we want to keep building on this Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News postseason momentum.”

Longtime assistant coach Bob Elliott dies at 64; had cancer IOWA CITY (AP) — Longtime assistant football coach Bob Elliott has died following a lengthy battle with cancer. He was 64.

Iowa, where Elliott played and later coached, announced Sunday that he had died a day earlier.

Elliott spent 38 years as an assistant for a number of high-profile schools.

He spent 11 years as an assistant under Hayden Fry with the Hawkeyes, and he also worked for Kansas State, Iowa State, San Diego State and Notre Dame.

Elliott spent the last five seasons under Brian Kelly with the Fighting Irish. He was set to become an off-the-field defensive analyst for Nebraska this fall.

LONDON (AP) — Novak Djokovic may wish he had as much time to prepare for his next match as he did for his previous one.

A lingering right shoulder injury flared up in Djokovic’s victory over 51st-ranked Adrian Mannarino in the fourth round at Wimbledon on Tuesday, adding a measure of doubt to his quarterfinal match against 11th-seeded Tomas Berdych on Wednesday.

Djokovic, who won 6-2, 7-6 (5), 6-4 under a closed roof at Centre Court, had his match delayed from the night before after Gilles Muller needed 4 hours, 48 minutes to defeat Rafael Nadal.

“It’s been something that I’ve been dragging back and forth for a while now,” said Djokovic, a three-time Wim-

bledon champion and 12-time Grand Slam winner. “But I’m still managing to play, which is the most important thing.”

Later, when asked in Serbian about the injury, Djokovic said through a translator: “I don’t want to talk about it.”

After Djokovic took a 4-3 lead in the third set, he called for a medical timeout and had a trainer work on his right shoulder.

He also winced following the first serve of his third and final match point — a 24-shot rally that ended when Mannarino’s forehand went into the net.

The match between Djokovic and Mannarino was originally scheduled for No. 1 Court on Monday, but Muller’s victory, which ended after 8:30 p.m., led to the decision to

push it back a day.

Djokovic said he and Mannarino were in communication with tournament organizers throughout the evening. They were told fan safety was the reason why they did not move the match to Centre Court, which was vacant after Roger Federer’s three-set victory over Grigor Dimitrov.

“I just think it was a wrong decision not to play us last night, because we could have played,” Djokovic said. “I think the last match on the Centre Court was done before 7. Having in mind that Centre Court has the roof and lights, we could have played ‘til 11. I just didn’t see any logic in not playing us on the Centre Court.”

Rain began to fall on Tuesday about 30 minutes before Djokovic and Mannarino were

to begin, and as others were suspended, they played the first match of the tournament under the roof.

Djokovic broke his opponent twice in the first set and took a 4-1 lead in the second before Mannarino, who matched his best finish in a Grand Slam event by reaching the fourth round, broke back and then forced the tiebreaker.

Several rallies went more than 15 shots, including one that went 29 and ended with the Frenchman picking up a break point in the second set.

“I think that after a while, I realized that playing full power was useless against Novak because he was responding well,” Mannarino said. “He was moving well. When I tried to slow the game down, I think that I was feeling more comfortable.”

Joe Gibbs Racing to replace Kenseth with Erik Jones CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Joe Gibbs Racing is replacing NASCAR’s oldest full-time driver with one of the youngest as the series undergoes a rapid changing of the guard.

Erik Jones will drive the No. 20 Toyota for Gibbs next season. That has been Matt Kenseth’s seat since 2013, and he has won a lot of races for the organization.

But Kenseth is 45, and Jones is 21. Plus, Jones is on a oneyear loaner contract to Gibbs’ sister team Furniture Row Racing, and Gibbs had to put Jones somewhere in 2018.

“This is a really exciting time in my career for me to make the move back to Joe Gibbs Racing full time in the Cup Series,” Jones said.

Kenseth, in a contract year, gets the boot.

This is not a surprise in NASCAR, which has seen a quick shift in the last year toward the 20-something phenom at the expense of the middle-aged journeyman.

Kenseth is the biggest name hit so far as the deep Gibbs development system has given the organization too many drivers to employ.

“I hate the position that Matt is in but obviously that

didn’t just happen overnight,” 2014 champion Kevin Harvick said earlier Tuesday. “I believe Matt is probably the most sane leader of that particular team.”

Kenseth is the veteran at Gibbs, which has 2015 champion Kyle Busch, Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin and reigning Xfinity Series champion Daniel Suarez.

But there’s simply no room for Kenseth anymore, a stalwart in the series and a star for Toyota, which partnered with Kenseth when he joined Gibbs in 2013. He is 11th in the standings and in his 18th Cup season. He said last weekend there was no opportunity for him to return to Gibbs.

Jones is a Gibbs development driver, a product of a Gibbs and Toyota system that has stockpiled young talent.

It’s use-them-or-lose-them time for Gibbs, which caught a break this year when Carl Edwards unexpectedly retired.

Suarez got fast-tracked to the Cup Series, and Jones was moved to Furniture Row to await an opening at Gibbs.

Team owner Gibbs bid adieu to Kenseth in a team release.

“Matt has been a tremendous asset to our organization over the past five seasons both on and off the track,” Gibbs said. “He’s been a great teammate and a great ambassador for our sponsors. We have a

great deal of respect for him and we are working hard to get the 20 team into the playoffs to make a run for the championship.”

Kenseth is the 2003 Cup champion, a two-time Daytona 500 winner and has 38 career victories. After he joined Gibbs four years ago, led the Cup Series with seven victories and finished second in points that year. He is admittedly looking for a ride next season.

Jones, who turned 21 in May, was discovered by Busch in 2012 when Jones upset Busch to win the Snowball Derby in Pensacola, Florida.

Jones at the time became the youngest winner in the Truck Series when he won in 2013 at 17 years.

He won the series title two years later — the youngest series champ at 19 — and made his first Cup appearance that season in relief of Denny Hamlin at Bristol. He later drove a Cup race for Busch and two races for Kenseth.

Jones won four Xfinity races last year as a rookie and ran for the championship in the season finale in Miami but finished fourth in the points.

Jones is currently 14th in the Cup standings.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Noah Clark leads off first base after drawing a walk in the fifth inning during a Class 2A District 14 semifinal loss to Roland-Story on Tuesday. The Norse won the game 5-0.

Mustangs Continued from Page 1B “I know that. The team knows that. You can’t give that many extra chances in postseason play. That’s hard to overcome sometimes.”

The Mustangs (18-10) swept Roland-Story during HOIC play in the regular season, but four errors in the second inning put PCM in a hole it couldn’t get out of.

Roland-Story plated three unearned runs in the second, added another unearned run in the fourth and put a cap on the win with a run in the seventh.

Junior Noah Henkenius al-

lowed no earned runs on four hits and struck out two in five innings. Freshman Derek Brown struck out two in his only inning, and sophomore Brayton Van Dyke allowed one earned run on two hits with one walk and one strikeout in the seventh.

“I thought we pitched the ball well. I thought that Hank and Derek threw the ball well.

Brayton, for the most part, threw it well, too,” Lindsay said. “But when you are only able to do one of the three parts of the game, it’s tough to win.”

Sophomore Preston Van Wyk opened the bottom of the first inning with an infield single but was thrown out try-

ing to steal second.

The Mustangs didn’t have another base runner until senior Noah Clark walked in the fifth. Senior Ethan Thomas got PCM’s first hit to the outfied two batters later, but Aaron Craig got out of the jam when senior Ryan Hill flied out to center.

Craig allowed two hits and struck out five over five innings.

“The last several pitchers we have seen this year throw the ball a lot harder than this guy today,” Lindsay said of Craig. “They were pitching us away. We had worked on trying to go with those pitches and hit them to the opposite field, but we didn’t do that to-

day. We got our bats out early, got ahead of the pitches and were rolling it over. We started to be more patient a little too late in the game.”

After not scoring with two runners on base in the fifth, the last base runner in the game came in the sixth when sophomore Reed Worth walked with one out.

Norse reliever Matthew Weaver struck out the side though and then retired the Mustangs in order in the seventh to finish off the win.

“We just didn’t hit tonight.

And that hasn’t been the case very much this year,” Lindsay said.

The Mustangs ended the season with two straight loss-

es. They never had a threegame losing streak in 2017, and PCM was only shut out three times.

The defense averaged 2.25 errors per game. They more than doubled that number Tuesday against the Norse.

“I don’t feel frustrated.

The kids are trying their best.

They are not trying to make mistakes,” Lindsay said. “I feel bad for the seniors. They have shown strong leadership over the course of their careers, and they have meant a lot to the program. We wanted them to have a better finish.”

Robinson Cano’s 10th-inning homer gives AL 2-1 All-Star win MIAMI (AP) — A newlook All-Star Game ended with an old-time score.

Robinson Cano homered off Cubs closer Wade Davis leading off the 10th inning and the American League beat the National League 2-1 Tuesday night in an All-Star Game dominated by this era’s flame-throwers, rather than its standout sluggers.

Craig Kimbrel wiggled out of a jam in the ninth and right fielder Justin Upton made a lunging catch in the 10th to help the AL win its fifth in a row. And for the first time since 1964, the rivalry is back to all even — 43 wins apiece with two ties, and each side has scored exactly 361 runs.

Andrew Miller finished off the win and celebrated with his AL teammates. Even though home-field advantage in the World Series no longer goes to the league that wins the All-Star Game, it was a victory worth savoring.

Cano earned the MVP honor with his one clutch swing.

At 34, the Seattle second baseman was among the oldest players in a game built around so many of the sport’s new, young stars. He sent a hanging curve off the back wall of the right-field bullpen, then blew a bubble with his gum when rounding the bases.

Cano’s homer came exactly 50 years after the previous extra-inning homer in an AllStar Game, when Tony Perez hit a tiebreaking 15th-inning shot off Catfish Hunter in the NL’s 2-1 win at Anaheim, California. Perez, now a Marlins executive, was among eight Latin-born Hall of Famers who threw out ceremonial first pitches.

Miguel Sano put the AL ahead in the fifth with a bloop RBI single against Alex Wood.

Yadier Molina tied it in the sixth with a home run off Ervin Santana.

Molina had just entered behind the plate in the top half and snapped off an All-Star

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B game in its half of the third with two runs on three hits, a walk and a Cardinal error.

In the fourth inning, the Trojans went ahead 3-2.

Stanton opened the fifth inning for Newton with a bunt single and went to second on a sacrifice bunt by Dodd. For the third time, Barr reached on an error and Stanton scored.

first — Nelson Cruz pulled a phone out of his uniform pants and asked the catcher to snap a photo of him with umpire Joe West.

Davis wasn’t with the Cubs last fall when they won the World Series for the first time in 108 years. He was acquired in a trade from Kansas City to fortify the bullpen, and was the only Cubs player in this showcase. Chicago has struggled this season, going into the break at 43-45.

Kimbrel, throwing at up to 100 mph, stranded runners at second and third to end the ninth, striking out Michael Conforto. The Boston closer wound up with the win.

Miller, whose Cleveland Indians lost the World Series in Game 7, got the save with some help from Upton.

A left fielder playing in right for the first time in four years, Upton extended his arm on a full run to catch Corey Seager’s liner leading off the 10th. Miller walked Joey Votto with two outs, then struck out rookie sensation Cody Bellinger.

The AL’s first six hits were by first-time All-Stars but

The teams stayed deadlocked at 3-all to the seventh inning forcing extra innings.

South Tama produced the game-winner in the bottom of the 10th inning.

“Logan Wolfe pitched well for us tonight and Trevor Ergenbright came on in relief and threw well,” Brisel said. “South Tama got the hits when it needed it and we didn’t. Now, we get ready for substate.”

Ergenbright got the pitching loss. Wolfe started and

some things don’t change. The AL has won 12 of 15 and 17 of the last 20 All-Star Games played to a decision.

The night’s most-watched sluggers fizzled.

A night day after winning the Home Run Derby with 47 long balls, Yankees rookie sensation Aaron Judge went 0 for 3 with a strikeout, groundout and flyout. Giancarlo Stanton, the star slugger of the hometown Marlins, was 0 for 3 with a pair of strikeouts and a dribbler in front of the plate.

NL pitchers struck out 14, including four by Carlos Martinez, three by Kenley Jansen and two each by starter Max Scherzer and Greg Holland.

AL pitchers fanned nine.

In the first All-Star Game in Florida, Jonathan Schoop doubled off Wood with two outs in the fifth and came home when Sano blooped a single about a foot fair down the right-field line, 207 feet from home plate, where right fielder Bryce Harper, second baseman Daniel Murphy and first baseman Ryan Zimmerman — all from the Washington Nationals — were unable to reach it.

went three innings, charged with three runs on three hits and five walks and struck out three. Ergenbright worked 6 2/3 innings, allowing one run on four hits and two walks and striking out four.

Ergenbright had two singles and Wolfe doubled.

Hitting a single each were Stanton, Dodd and Jacob Murphy.

Past, not crowd, favors Williams against Konta at Wimbledon LONDON (AP) — If past success were all that mattered when Venus Williams faces Johanna Konta in the Wimbledon semifinals, the matchup would be quite a mismatch.

For Williams, Thursday’s semifinal will be her 10th at the All England Club. For Konta, it’ll be her first — and the first for any British woman in 39 years.

For Williams, it’ll be the 22nd Grand Slam semifinal of her career. For Konta, her second.

“I definitely think experience helps, for sure. For a lot of the players I’ve played, it’s their first time in the third round or the quarterfinals (or) fourth round,” said the 37-year-old Williams, who is making her 20th Wimbledon appearance. “So I have

an opportunity to bank on experience in having dealt with those sort of pressures before.”

One more discrepancy: Williams is aiming for a sixth Wimbledon singles championship and eighth overall at major tournaments. Konta owns zero such trophies.

“What Venus and her sister have given our sport is absolutely tremendous. The way they’ve elevated women’s tennis is truly inspiring,” Konta said. “So I feel very excited and very humbled to be sharing the court with her again.”

The other semifinal also is rather lopsided in terms of past accomplishments: 14th-seeded Garbine Muguruza vs. 87th-ranked Magdalena Rybarikova. Muguruza won the French Open last year and was the runner-up

at Wimbledon in 2015. Rybarikova, in contrast, had never been past the third round at any Grand Slam tournament in 35 previous attempts.

“She’s going to be (the) favorite,” Rybarikova said. “I’m here to enjoy the match. We’ll see what’s going to happen.”

They’ve played each other four times previously, each winning twice. Muguruza won the only past match at a major, 14-12 in the third set at the Australian Open in 2013. Rybarikova won the only past match on grass, 6-3, 6-1 at Birmingham in 2015.

This will be the sixth meeting between Konta and Williams. Konta won three, including at the 2016 Australian Open. Williams won their most recent match, on red clay at the Italian Open in May.

Two days shy of his 35th birthday, Molina became the oldest catcher to homer in an All-Star Game, driving a 95 mph from Santana into the right-field bullpen.

Molina was part of a modern All-Star moment in the top of the inning, when he entered wearing a shiny gold helmet ad chest protector.

Cruz pulled a phone out of a uniform pants pocket when he stepped to the plate and asked Molina to take a picture of him posing with West, who last month became the third ump to work 5,000 regular-season games.

Scherzer, limited to one inning, used a full-count slider to strike out Judge, only third rookie to bat third in an All-Star Game after Joe DiMaggio in 1936 and Dick Wakefield in 1943.

“When you get to face the best from the other side and you get the start, the adrenalin starts flowing and you want to throw everything as hard as you can,” Scherzer said.

AL starter Chris Sale, who threw two innings, fanned Stanton in the first. The lefty also neared 100 mph with his fastest pitch of the season.

“I was able to let loose a little bit,” Sale said. “I wouldn’t want to take that style into the regular season.”

Martinez hit 100 mph on four of 14 pitches in the third.

He matched the most strikeouts by a St. Louis Cardinals pitcher in an All-Star Game, set by Dizzy Dean in 1934.

Web Gem Harper made a diving backhand catch in short right center as his cap fell off, robbing Salvador Perez of a hit for the final out of the second.

Harper wore blue-and-orange spikes with the image of late Marlins star Jose Fernandez and the pitcher’s No. 16 outlined in a circle.

Wild Thing Yankees reliever Dellin Betances, dealing with mechanical problems of late, threw just 12 of 23 pitches for strikes in the third. He walked Harper and Buster Posey, threw a pair of wild pitches and got out of a bases-loaded jam when Murphy grounded out. Betances joined Juan Marichal, Dave Stieb and John Smoltz as the only ones to throw two wild pitches in an All-Star inning.

1A Districts Continued from Page 1B Lynnville-Sully built on its lead over Melcher-Dallas in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Again, the Hawks did it with two gone in the frame.

Collins got things started with a base hit then stole second base. Tyler Van Zante was intentionally walked by the Saints. With runners at second and third, Bray Noun Harder drew a walk to load the bases. Corbin James delivered a two-run single.

Collins issued his only walk of the game in the sixth inning with one gone. He got a pop-up and a strikeout to shut down the Saints. He hit his second batter of the game to open the seventh inning.

Collins came right back to retire the next three batters, two by strikeout.

“Everything was working for me. I threw a lot of strikes tonight and my teammates played solid defense behind me,” Collins said. “This win means we advance and keep going. All season we’ve been there for each other and find a way to win.”

Offensively, Josh Dunsbergen had two singles for the Hawks and Gibbs doubled.

Collins, Van Zante and Corbin James each had a single.

Colfax-Mingo’s win came with a strong offensive output.

The Tigerhawks had beaten Montezuma’s Braves (2-21) twice in SICL play.

Sophomore Zarek Hill struggled at times to find the strike zone as the Tigerhawk starting pitcher. He got the

Raiders Continued from Page 1B like that. Seeing them the way they were. I told them there is no other group that I would rather take on this ride with me, and that just sent everyone over the edge as far as emotions go.”

Seeman won’t be around for the start of the Baxter Bolts era either. He begins his role as Martensdale-St. Marys Activities Director this month. That made the final huddle more emotional.

“That’s tough too.

Everyone over there is turning a new page,” Seeman said. “Nothing made me want to leave Baxter and CMB, but it will be tougher, too, knowing that I won’t be on the football field or basketball court with the Baxter kids next year.”

Under Seeman, CMB has made a habit of playing its best baseball in the postseason. The Raiders reached the district final two seasons ago and advanced to their first and only state baseball tournament last year.

This season, CMB entered the postseason with only four wins but downed Ogden in the quarterfinals on Saturday and played well against a Van Meter

The Bulldogs only led 2-0 through four innings. They tallied three more in the fifth to pull away, but only one of those runs was earned against CMB senior Brady Kemp.

In the first inning, Trinity Schroeder, who was 3-for-4 on the night, singled and went to second on a Brave error.

Hill singled to drive in the

“These five seniors have done it before so that helps us confidence wise and everyone feeds off that,” Seeman said of the recent postseason success. “They know we play really good teams in the regular season to prepare us for these kind

of games against teams our size.

“Brady Kemp’s record coming in wasn’t that good, but he hung with one of the best teams in 2A right there. That tells you all you need to know about this group.”

Kemp allowed three earned runs on six hits and struck out five while walking one and hitting one.

The other four seniors reached base at least once in the game. Brady Ross, Creighton Caple and Tucker Maxwell were all 1-for-3 at the plate. Adam Smith was 0-for-2 but he walked in the fourth inning.

The Raiders (5-21) had a big opportunity to crack the scoreboard in the fourth inning. Caple led off the frame with a single, and then junior Travis Lindemoen hit a one-out single.

Freshman Cole Damman singled after that, but Lindemoen was thrown out at second.

Smith walked to load the bases, but Van Meter starter Anthony Lowman got a strikeout to get out of the jam. Damman added a walk to his fourth-inning single to lead the CMB offense.
