Space concerns at Union Cemetery

City officials work with veteran’s group to create additional burial space al 96 spaces remaining open, while V-1 currently has 300 veterans buried there, with 32 open spaces. The layout at V-1 has a reduced amount of space due to a section that is devoted to the parade ground area.

Lisa Bernal, the cemetery manager at Union Cemetery, said she anticipated the cemetery filling up in the next years. Veterans are filling the cemetery at a rate of 16.5 veterans per year, with seven veteran funerals in 2017 so far.

At that pace, the city will run out of space for veterans by 2025.

With less than 1 percent of the population serving in the Armed Forces demand will eventually peak for the

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News The veterans section at the Newton Union Cemetery is filling up, and city officials are concerned about working towards finding additional ways to serve the needs of deceased veterans in Jasper County. City officials met with the Jasper County Veterans Affairs Commission on Wednesday to explore options for the future.

Currently, there are two locations within Union Cemetery that are designated for veterans. Sections V-1 and V-2, the veteran areas at Union Cemetery, are nearing capacity. Five hundred and fifty-two veterans are buried in V-2, with an addition-

A $10 charge will also be instituted for testing related to the work release program available in Jasper County.

New payment services, increased fees set for sheriff’s office

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News An added convenience for payments will be added to the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office along with two fees increasing.

The Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved Government Payment Services to provide credit and debit card payments and an increase for fingerprinting services and costs associated to work release testing during its meeting on Tuesday.

“We’ve been wanting to be able to allow the public to utilize credit or debit cards for some fees at the sheriff ’s office,” Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty said. “This is not really a money maker for the sheriff ’s office or the county but it is convenience for the public.”

The service will include a fee schedule for each payment including bail not exceeding $10,000 at 9 percent and criminal justice related payments such as civil fees at 3.75 percent when

swiped or payed online or 5.25 percent when the call center is used.

“We have had some positive feedback from not only the employees but some of the public we have told that we are going to go for this,” Halferty said.

Government Payment Services also provides fraud protection should a payment come from a false account or adequate funding is not available.

The department will also increase fees associated to fingerprinting services and work release testing. The fingerprinting fee will increase from $10 per visit to $20 to better align with the current charge standard.

“The public can come in and have their fingerprints done with background checks, for example with educational or coaching positions,” Halferty said. “It takes usually a little more than one hour to process and we have charged $10 for more than 10 years.”

A new charge of $10 will be

Fairmeadows North subdivision extension moves forward

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A preliminary plat for the Fairmeadows North subdivision extension was approved by the Newton City Council on Monday.

The extension adds 23 new builder lots in the city, helping fill the new construction land shortage currently in the community.

“The entire subdivision process, when construction of new public improvements is involved, is broken down into two parts — the preliminary plat approval and the final Muckler plat approval,” city administrator Matt Muckler said.

First, the preliminary plat process essentially reviews and approves the basic layout of the subdivision, along with the public improvements such as streets and utilities FAIRMEADOWS | 3A

instituted in the work release program for urinary analysis testing done. Previously, there were no charges for the testing, which typically cost the county between $6 and $7 per test.

“Our work release people are allowed to work and come back in and serve time. We have to administer UA tests to make sure they weren’t using while they were out,” Halferty said. “We have been basically eating the cost forever. We’re giving them the right to work and go back and if we have to administer a UA, I would like to charge $10. I think it is a right thing to do, we are giving them the privilege to do that.”

In other business: • Brandon Bruxvoort was approved for hire as a deputy in the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office.

Bruxvoort’s pay rate is $25.03 per hour with a start date of Aug. 21.

Lunch and learn gives residents nuggets of local history Program spotlights different aspects of Newton’s history

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News Maytag was the subject at the monthly brown bag lunch and learn at the Jasper County Historical Society. More than 40 residents were on hand to hear Dr. Tom Hoover talk about the numerous Maytag residences in Newton, most of which are still standing today.

During the presentation, Hoover traced the history of the Maytag family through the homes they’d lived in over the years. Hoover, who taught history for more than 20 years, said he’s always

been fascinated with the Maytag story. Right now he’s in the process of writing a biography on Maytag, which he hopes to have finished by Christmas.

“Even as a kid I loved history because of those ‘Aha’ moments,” Hoover told the audience on Wednesday.

Linda Perrenoud, a Newton resident, and the secretary of the Jasper County Historical Society said that attendance has been increasing at the lunch and learn events, and it’s something the group hopes will continue. The historical society

has been trying to hold an event like this at least once a month, in hopes that keeping a regular schedule will attract more interest in the events.

“We get great feedback

from people, they’ll tell me what a great topic it is, and that they’ve been waiting for this,” Perrenoud said.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Thursday, Aug. 10, the 222nd day of 2017. There are 143 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 10, 1977, postal employee David Berkowitz was arrested in Yonkers, New York, accused of being “Son of Sam,” the gunman who killed six people and wounded seven others in the New York City area. (Berkowitz is serving six consecutive 25-years-to-life sentences.)

On this date: In 1821, Missouri became the 24th state.

In 1846, President James K. Polk signed a measure establishing the Smithsonian Institution.

In 1874, Herbert Clark Hoover, the 31st president of the United States, was born in West Branch.

In 1921, Franklin D. Roosevelt was stricken with polio at his summer home on the Canadian island of Campobello.

In 1962, Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man made his debut in issue 15 of “Amazing Fantasy” (cover price: 12 cents).

In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed a measure providing $20,000 payments to still-living Japanese-Americans who were interned by their government during World War II. In 1991, nine Buddhists were found slain at their temple outside Phoenix, Arizona. (Two teen-agers were later arrested; one was sentenced to life in prison, while the other received 281 years.)

In 1993, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was sworn in as the second female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ten years ago: Three men being lowered into a southern Indiana coal mine were killed when a nylon sling attached to the bucket the men were riding in got caught, causing the bucket to tip and sending them plummeting more than 500 feet to their deaths.

Five years ago: At the London Olympics, the United States won the women’s 4x100-meter track relay in a world-record time of 40.82 seconds to give the Americans their first victory in the event since 1996.

One year ago: At the Rio Olympics, Katie Ledecky turned in another overpowering performance to carry the United States to victory in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay. John Saunders, the versatile sportscaster who hosted ESPN’s “The Sports Reporters” for 15 years, died in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, at age 61.

That’s Odd Pop-up Cheetos-themed restaurant to open in NYC NEW YORK (AP) — Frito-Lay is getting in on New York City’s restaurant week by opening a pop-up eatery with a menu full of Cheetos-themed cuisine.

The Spotted Cheetah opens its doors in lower Manhattan for just three days next week.

Some of the dishes on the three-course menu created by chef Anne Burrell include Cheetos Crusted Fried Pickles, Mac n’ Cheetos and Cheetos Sweetos Crusted Cheesecake.

Prices run from $8 to $22 per dish.

Frito-Lay says recipes created by fans inspired the company to “bring a full Cheetos culinary experience to life.”

Disney to launch streaming services for movies, live sports NEW YORK (AP) — With new streaming services in the works, Disney is trying to set itself up for a future that’s largely been framed by Netflix: Providing the stuff you want to watch, when you want to watch it.

The Magic Kingdom is launching its own streaming service for its central Disney and Pixar brands and another for live sports. That would allow it to bypass the cable companies it relies on — and Netflix — to charge consumers directly for access to its popular movies and sporting events.

“We need to hear from veterans, we don’t want to just go out and say this is going to be our spot,” Muckler said.

Muckler also promised the city was staying on top of maintenance at Union Cemetery, which has been an issue for some residents this year.

to Whirlpool, but Perrenoud said that people still want to connect with the history.

“Maytag helped form this town, we’ve almost gotten over the anger and now we’re in the reminiscing part,” Perrenoud said.

Researching the history of the Maytag family started out as a pet project for Hoover, a retired history teacher, who still needed to get his “history fix”. After digging in, he soon realized there was a lot more than he’d initially realized to learn about

“I can guarantee we’re going to be on top of maintenance, we’re going to have it looking as good as we can by Memorial Day,” Muckler said.

Several different options to save space at the cemetery are being considered. Board members discussed creating an area specifically for cremated remains, which take up less space than a standard size burial vault, as well as a “bunk

bed” burial system, where a husband and wife would be placed on top of one another rather than side by side to save space in the cemetery.

Muckler said city staff would work on generating a solid plan and promised to meet with the Veterans Affairs Commission board next month in hopes of creating a plan that they could take to the city council for approval by 2018.

A trip to Disney World “

Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.” — Walt Disney Company Without doubt, my favorite place to visit is Walt Disney World in Florida.

It’s a trip that takes months to plan and only days to enjoy, but it is always worth the time.

If you’ve been to Disney World or Disneyland, you understand a little bit of what I am talking about. Even if you didn’t latch onto it in the same way I did, you at least have walked where I have.

If you haven’t experienced it, the feeling is hard for me to properly describe, what exactly urges me to return as much as I do (seven times, eight if you include the trip to Disneyland). There is something about the atmosphere and being

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers around so many memorable things that keeps me coming back for more.

This year’s trip was particularly special. The “Rodgers 5” got to return as a family, but there were a few extra travelers this year. My siblings and I were all able to bring our significant others with us. My sister’s husband and brother’s girlfriend had both been to Disney before.

My fiancé, Tim, on the other hand was the only one of the group who had never been to either park before. I did my best to tell him what to expect before we left for Florida, but words can’t possibly describe what world you were about to enter.

Now that we have been to the parks and returned safely home, Tim returned with his first taste of what Walt

Disney World was like. In our previous trips, my family and I spent time at Disney, then did other touristy things. This trip was solely to go to Disney World.

Tim and I went to each of the four parks twice, which was a blessing because we got rained out early two of the days because of Tropical Storm Emily.

In those eight days at the parks, Tim got to experience everything I love about each place at least once, and most things several times. I think the backto-back days between Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom and Epcot, made everything seem like one big amusement park to Tim. By the second trip to those parks, Tim was starting to learn the difference and knew his way around by the end of the day.

One of the main highlights for me was the extra day Tim and I had at Animal Kingdom. The original plan was to just spend seven days at the parks, going to Animal Kingdom only once.

One of our “rest” days was to be spent switching resorts. The eight of us would have had a hard time traveling with all

the luggage in Dad’s Expedition. So Tim and I added a day for Disney and took the bus to Animal Kingdom to spend most of the day there before our check in time.

For me, Animal Kingdom was the park with the most changes. The new Pandora World opened this year, and Tim and I wanted to see more of it. The new thrill ride, Avatar Flight of Passage, may be my new favorite out of the four parks. I’ve said Soarin’ at Epcot was my favorite since it opened in 2005, but this new ride was like an amped up version of that. We got to ride it several times in our added day. It was fantastic.

Summer family vacations have always been a special tradition. This was the dream vacation, to continue that custom as we add more members to the family. I hope we can find a way to continue it well into the future. The Disney tradition has to, because the new Star Wars land at Disney will be a must see when it opens.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Good Samaritans save life The heat and humidity were almost unbearable at July 17, even at 7 a.m., when Marilyn and Bill Knox went for their daily walk around East Lake Park in Mt. Pleasant. Eighty-seven year old Bill Knox found it difficult to breathe, but he wasn’t one to complain. Bill doesn’t remember the walk or getting in the car to drive his wife and himself home.

Bill Knox, unbeknownst, to his wife, Marilyn, was in the early stages of cardiac arrest.

Leaving East Lake Park, the blacktop road passes over Highway 218 and comes to a T intersection.

Bill continued straight. Marilyn shouted, “Turn, turn, turn!” to no avail.

The Knox car went airborne, coming down so hard it flattened a tire on a concrete foundation.

Marilyn, even though she had a cracked sternum and compression fracture of the spine from the accident, was able to exit the vehicle, crawl up a steep embankment, and flag down a passing motorist.

Dwight Alvine, also of Mt. Pleasant, was on his way to work. Seeing the woman in distress, he pulled over. When he saw the wrecked vehicle in the ditch, he pulled out his phone and dialed 911 while giving aid to Marilyn.

Mike Mathews, of Mt. Pleasant, was also on his way to work. Seeing the woman lying on the side of the road with a backpack on, and a man waving and apparently giving aid to the woman, he was totally confused. He thought Marilyn must have been a walker or jogger along side the road. When he pulled over, he saw the vehicle in the ditch. Dwight Alvine pointed at the car, indicating that Mathews should check on the driver.

As Mathews approached the vehicle he could see the driver collapsed and unconscious behind the wheel. He ran to the driver’s side, but the door was locked. He ran back around to the passenger side and opened the door. Bill Knox looked to be in pretty bad shape, and was gasping for air. Mike Mathews is a dentist and has had CPR training. He felt Bill Knox’s carotid artery for a pulse. There was no pulse. He reached over and unlocked the driver’s-side door, went back around the car, pulled Bill Knox from the vehicle, and commenced CPR. He had gone through four cycles of CPR, rocks digging into his knees, when the Mt. Pleasant Police arrived with an AED (Automated External Defibrillator.)

He helped the policeman place the patches, stood up to relieve his knees, and watched the AED initiate a shock.

Paramedics arrived and took over. Bill Knox was loaded into the ambulance and transported, first to the Henry County Health Center Emergency Room, then to Mercy Hospital in Iowa City. In route to HCHC, paramedics were able to establish a pulse.

Bill Knox was in the hospital six days, and had a defibrillator installed in his chest. He looks to be in pretty good shape now. You would never know he had a heart attack.

Thanks to the quick action of Dwight Alvine, and the CPR of Mike Mathews, which maintained circulation while an ambulance was in route, Bill Knox is alive today.

The odds of this happening are about one in 100.

Are Dwight Alvine and Mike Mathews heroes?

Yes, although they are quick to point out that every person involved was critical to the life-saving effort. Marilyn Knox, even with serious injuries, was able to climb a steep embankment to wave down a passing motorist. Mount Pleasant Police were quick to arrive with an automated defibrillator. The Paramedics from HCHC performed advanced life-saving measures. And the doctors and nurses at Mercy Hospital in Iowa City are expert at handling heart patients. It was a total team effort.

Where is the outrage?

Can you hear it? No? Listen closely, now can you hear it?

No? Turn down the volume on your TV and radio. Still can’t hear it?

The “it” that you can’t hear is the outrage from our Iowa Republican Governor and Iowa

ESSA plan could sink Iowa education The Iowa Department of Education produced its second draft of a response to ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act), calling for comments in July so it can produce a third, and final draft, that will go to the U.S. Department of Education as the accountability plan Iowa educators will use to improve student proficiencies. If the third draft is no better than the second, Iowa will continue to sink in state rankings on NAEP. Iowa Director of Education, Ryan Wise, provided an overview of the plan in the introduction, citing seven actions Iowa has taken in the last five years to improve. The first example on the list is the early literacy initiative to make sure all students can read proficiently by the end

Republican legislators regarding the despicable actions toward women in the Republican Caucus that has left Iowa tax payers with a $2.2 million bill. Our governor’s response, “I can’t control the legislators.”

WOW? What a statement.

The Republicans pretend to care about taxpayers’ dollars, so why are they not outraged over this issue. I can only assume the

rest of the Republican officials agree with what took place.

We should not be surprised, since the Republican leader in the White House has set the tone for this sort of action.

Can’t wait for the next election cycle when the Republicans campaign on “family values.”

of third grade. Not mentioned is the fact this has been judged a complete failure. The standard Iowa calls grade level is termed “basic” (entry level) by NAEP, which is not proficient. The latest report from the National Council on Teacher Quality, indicated the early elementary training programs failed to include all five of the concepts known as the science of reading for all but four of them. The last program to move from two of the concepts to five was the University of Iowa, where the Iowa Reading Center is attached. Offering all five of the concepts does not mean any of them are being effective taught.

Clearly they are not, because Iowa’s NAEP scores for fourthgrade reading have fallen into the bottom 50 percent of the country in ranking. Iowa educators, however, point to the fact the average scores are equivalent to the national average — completely ignoring the fact that as

more states figure out how to effectively teach, the national average will rise and Iowa’s ranking will continue to fall. Failing to deal with reality negatively impacts decision-making and continues to avoid responsibility for poor decisions. The remaining six items listed will not result in Iowa education taking responsibility for student outcomes, so accountability under ESSA will likely be a source of frustration.

Government intervention came about because of low critical thinking skills in the workplace. Developing critical thinking skills involves understanding the processes of concepts in order to effectively apply them. Substituting memorization – which is what education did for more than 60 years — bypasses the process and, thus, the development of more in-depth thinking skills. Iowa’s plan is the product of such a system.

EFSP funds allocated to Jasper County, applications due Aug. 18 Jasper County has been awarded federal funds through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The Jasper County area has been chosen to receive $7,438 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in Phase 33 of the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP).

The selection was made by a National Board that is chaired by the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from American Red Cross; Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.; The Salvation Army; United Jewish Communities; and United Way Worldwide.

The Local Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter pro-

grams in high-need areas around the country.

A local board made up of representatives from several agencies will determine how the funds awarded to Jasper County are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies. The board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds available under this phase of the program.

Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local agencies chosen to receive funds must: 1) be private, public, voluntary, non-profits or units of government, 2) be eligible to receive Federal funds, 3) have an accounting system, 4) practice nondiscrimination, 5) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs, and 6) if they are a private voluntary

organization, they must have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply.

Jasper County has distributed Emergency Food and Shelter Funds previously with Jasper County Center, Red Rock Area Community Action Program (RRACAP), Impact Community Action Partnership, Inc., and The Salvation Army participating.

These agencies were responsible for providing food and shelter assistance.

Private or public, voluntary nonprofit agencies and units of government interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact Local EFSP Chair, Jessica Lowe, Executive Director of the United Way of Jasper County at 641-7921684 or unitedwayjc@gmail.com for an application. The submission deadline for applications is noon Aug. 18.

Mom wants daughter to focus on school, not dad’s tattoos DEAR ABBY: My 22-year-old son is going to visit his father and get his third tattoo. I don’t like it, but I can’t control my son. He’s an adult.

His father is retired and lives on his wife’s pension. It is my understanding that they are wealthy.

My concern is for our 14-year-old daughter. My ex thinks tattoos are cool, and when he talks to her via Skype, he talks about the next tattoo he is going to get. I’m afraid that when she’s 18, he will take her to get a tattoo as a bonding experience.

His life is far removed from my daughter’s. He is surrounded by actors, entertainers and artists. Our child (hopefully) will have a rich, abundant life in an ordinary way.

She is focused on her studies and does well in school because of her efforts. How can I impress upon my not-so-confident, shy child that getting a tattoo is not a good idea? — MARY IN MISSOURI DEAR MARY: Discouraging your daughter from getting a tattoo should be part of an ongoing conversation. Explain that — unlike makeup or temporary tats — the real thing is permanent. Once it’s on, there is no going back. It will be there for the rest of her life unless she has it professionally removed.

Point out that tattoo removal is not only expensive, but also painful, and her skin will not look the way it did before she got inked — she will be scarred.

Hopefully, it may make her less susceptible to “bonding” with her father in that way. Ultimately, however, when she’s 18 and an adult, she will make her own decision about getting tattooed or remaining ink-free.

DEAR ABBY: My brother and sister-in-law have four children, ages 11, 10, 4 and 3. They are financially strapped and can’t afford to take the

children to entertainment or cultural events because every dime is spent for essentials.

I’m financially stable and childless. I take the older children to various activities once every month or so. I don’t include the younger ones because they are unruly. I feel somewhat guilty for not including them.

However, I want to continue doing it for the older children so they’ll be exposed to various events they couldn’t see otherwise.

Am I wrong for not wanting to be responsible for the younger children, or should I stop taking any of them out to be fair? — TRYING MY BEST IN THE SOUTH DEAR TRYING: Explain to the parents, if you haven’t already, that you would love to include the younger children, but that you are unable to because of their unruly behavior, which you are unable to control.

What you’re doing is not “unfair”; it is wise. If you were to take all four and not be able to control them, one of the little ones could be seriously injured.

Think of some other way you can make the younger children feel special. Perhaps taking them to a park occasionally would make them feel less left out.

DES MOINES — Authorities say the founder of a Des Moines anti-violence organization has been accused of hurting a child in her care.

Jail records say 46-year-old Calvetta Williams remained in custody Wednesday, charged with child endangerment causing injury. The arrest stemmed from an incident in July in which a girl in Williams’ care received superficial injuries.

GUTHRIE CENTER — Law enforcement officials have charged an Ames man in a May house fire at Guthrie Center that killed two young girls.

The Guthrie County Sheriff ’s Office said in a news conference Wednesday that 26-year-old Patrick Ryan Thompson is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted murder and one count of arson. It was not clear whether he yet has an attorney.

Investigators had already determined that arson caused the May 15 fire.

The records say Thompson repeatedly stabbed the man June 22 at a home in Spirit Lake and punched the woman during the same incident.

Man to change plea to guilty in deadly Iowa jail escape COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — A man charged with killing a sheriff ’s deputy and wounding another while escaping from an Iowa jail will plead guilty, prosecutors said Wednesday.

The Pottawattamie County Attorney’s Office said an attorney for Wesley Correa-Carmenaty, 24, informed officials of the change. No plea bargain was made in the case, and Correa-Carmenaty still faces charges of murder, attempted murder, escape, kidnapping and other crimes, the office said in a news release.

Correa-Carmenaty’s trial was due to start Tuesday in Council Bluffs, but there instead will be a change of plea hearing that day.

C orrea-Carmenaty had just been sentenced on May 1 to 45 years in prison in an unrelated murder case and was being taken from the courthouse to the Pottawattamie County Jail when the fatal assault occurred, officials have said.

Authorities say Correa-Carmenaty was in handcuffs and leg shackles as he was being transported in a jail

van, but managed to unlock them by the time the van reached the jail.

A struggle ensued, and Correa-Carmenaty managed to grab a gun of one of the deputies, officials said, shooting Deputy Mark Burbridge in the head and Deputy Pat Morgan in the abdomen before taking both deputies’ guns, ammunition and the keys to the van. Burbridge died and Morgan survived.

C orrea-Carmenaty then drove a transport van through a jail garage door, abandoning it a few blocks away, authorities said. Authorities

Iowa man sentenced for vehicle 5 years of 7 percent hit of South Dakota officer tuition

TYNDALL, S.D. (AP) — An Iowa man accused of assaulting a South Dakota police officer with his vehicle has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Travis McPeek, of Sioux City, was sentenced Monday in First Circuit Court after a Bon Homme County grand jury found him guilty last month of aggravated assault against a law enforcement officer.

McPeek, 37, was accused of striking Tyndall officer

Kelly Young with his vehicle during a traffic stop in August 2016, dragging him across a parking lot and driving away. Court records show Young had stopped McPeek’s car at a local convenience store after identifying it as the same one from several reports he received about a reckless driver.

Despite being injured, Young pursued McPeek for about 10 miles before losing him and driving to a hospital, the Daily Republic reported.

“I think a lot of it was adrenaline,” Young said. “I really just wanted to find him.”

McPeek was arrested in Arizona about four months later.

Defense attorneys argued that McPeek wasn’t aware that Young was a law enforcement officer.

Young was out of work for a month after suffering an injured foot, broken ribs, cuts and bruises. He said he still struggles with physical and emotional injuries.

“I’m just glad it’s over, but

I’ll remember that day forever,” Young said. “It’s one of those things that shape how you work moving forward, but you kind of take those lessons and try to go back to normal, just with a little more experience.”

McPeek will receive credit for time served since December as part of a plea agreement from Monday. He also was ordered to pay more than $14,000 in court costs, court-appointed attorney fees and restitution.

hikes proposed for ISU

AMES (AP) — The interim president of Iowa State University is proposing resident undergraduate tuition increases of 7 percent in each of the next five years.

President Ben Allen told an Iowa Board of Regents task force Wednesday that the university’s enrollment has risen by 37 percent since 2009, but state appropriations for operations have declined by 30 percent.

Resident undergraduates are scheduled to pay nearly $7,500 in tuition for the upcoming academic year. A 7 percent increase would raise costs by $522 for the 2018-19 academic year, and the tuition total would reach nearly $10,500 for the 2022-23 academic year.

The task force took no action Wednesday. The regents created the task force in response to more than $30 million in state funding cuts.

Baxter completes transition to Bolts

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — The only piece of the CMB Raiders era left around the campus at Baxter Community Schools is a small Raiders logo on the sidewalk in front of one of the entrances to the school.

Out are the black, silver and white CMB uniforms.

They have been replaced with purple, black and silver. The Bolts are here to stay, and the school’s transition to their new athletic era is almost complete.

The only thing left to do is begin competition without their former teammates at Collins-Maxwell and in a new league — the Iowa Star Conference.

“We have one more Bolts sign to get up in the West gym but for the most part, we have transitioned to the Bolts everywhere else,” Baxter Activities Director Lori Fricke said last week before fall sports practices officially began.

Fricke served as the activities director for CMB, spending time at both high schools over the last few seasons. Her CMB title went to just Baxter on July 31.

Fricke played for CMB. She was a coach for several Raider programs. And her husband Todd was instrumental in starting the brand. So it was tough for her personally to discard all of her Raider gear.

“It was hard, but it’s just something we have to do,” said Fricke in her new purple

Buying into the hype I

t is that time of year when hype rules the Internet and newspapers locally and nationally.

When teams have yet to play a game, it’s hard to think good things won’t happen.

I have been a San Francisco 49ers fan for my entire life. I grew up when Joe Montana and Jerry Rice were dominating the gridiron. Guys like Roger Craig, Merton Hanks, Charles Haley, Ronnie Lott, John Taylor and Brent Jones were guys I grew up watching and was a big fan of all of them.

In the offseason, the franchise hired John Lynch as the general manager and then brought in Kyle Shanahan as the head coach. It was a package deal essentially.

I always get excited when new hires are made. The 49ers were making their third coaching hire in three years, so positive news is bound to happen

This & That Troy Hyde eventually in a league that tries to get as much parity as possible.

I was on board from the start, and then Lynch, Shanahan and the rest of the decision makers dominated the NFL draft, grabbing two potential starters in the first round and then they took former Iowa Hawkeyes C.J. Beathard and George Kittle.

Fall camp has not been going on for very long, but everything I read is positive. I think this team is going to go 16-0 based on what I reading.

OK. So that’s not true. I don’t really believe that, but it’s easy to get caught up in all the information you gather from reporters. I follow all of the beat writers on Twitter and I try to listen to as many podcasts as I can.

It sounds like this team is much improved. The quarterback knows the Shanahan system, and Lynch and Shanahan upgraded at running back and

wide receiver. The defense should be better, too.

I am not sure what all of this means, but it appears that the franchise is at least improving.

I told a buddy that I thought the team could get to six wins this year. I really believe that. And then when a national NFL draft expert released his top five picks for 2018, the Niners were not listed as a team in the top five. That means he feels good about this team’s improvement, too.

Kittle has been hurt a lot, but he started training camp as the No. 1 tight end. He should make the team and will definitely play a lot if he’s healthy.

Beathard got off to a slow start, as most rookie quarterbacks do. But he has been really good this past week, and several media folks are predicting that he earns the No. 2 job behind Brian Hoyer before the team’s Week 1 game.

It’s preseason time. The hype is there for all teams.

That means Iowa State will be playing in a bowl game, and Iowa will get back to a nine- or 10-win season.

Paula Creamer to replace injured Korda on Solheim Cup team DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Veteran Paula Creamer will replace injured Jessica Korda on the U.S. team at next week’s Solheim Cup. U.S. captain Juli Inkster announced the move Tuesday after Korda withdrew because of a forearm injury.

Korda earned a spot on the team on points. She withdrew from last week’s Women’s British Open after the first round.

Creamer will be playing for the seventh time in the Solheim Cup, where she has a 14-8-5 record.

The biennial tournament between American and European golfers will be held Aug. 18-20 in West Des Moines.

The Cyclones’ season will come down to Jacob Park. If they can score more than 30 points per game, I think Iowa State has a shot to get to six wins.

That also would include a win over the Hawkeyes, who always seem to play better when everyone counts them out.

There is a lot of hype surrounding all of my professional sports teams right now. None of them — the 49ers, Reds and Timberwolves — have been very good lately but all three have some good young talent and a chance to flip the script in the coming years.

The Timberwolves brought in Jimmy Butler and Jeff Teague to go with Karl Anthony-Towns and Andrew Wiggins. That’s probably a team that goes from no playoffs to a top-five seed in the Western Conference.

The Reds still have Joey Votto. Jesse Winker is my latest man crush. And they have several guys in the minor league system they haven’t even asked to play on the big stage yet.

Ah yes. Hype. I have no choice but to buy in.

Byron lands top-tier ride at Hendrick Motorsports in 2018 CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — A racing fan who grew up in North Carolina, William Byron remembers peering into windows at Hendrick Motorsports.

He saw cars built for Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR’s biggest stars during Byron’s 19 years.

Soon, he will be on the opposite side of the glass.

Hendrick Motorsports announced Wednesday that Byron will replace Kasey Kahne in the No. 5 Chevrolet beginning in 2018, giving the teenager a top-tier Cup Series ride for one of NASCAR’s most accomplished teams. Byron is scheduled to make his Cup debut at Daytona in February.

“It’s pretty cool to be in the other side of the picture,” Byron said.

Byron, who will turn 20 in November, is in his first season in the second-tier Xfinity Series. He has three wins, including ones at Daytona and Indianapolis, and currently ranks second in points while driving for Hendrick-allied JR Motorsports. He also won seven times — a record for a rookie — in the Truck Series in 2016.

“You can’t teach speed and

you can’t train talent,” Hendrick said. “And he has all those other qualities: Smart, dedicated, culture, work ethic.

He’s got the whole package.”

Byron will join seven-time champion Johnson, Chase Elliott and Alex Bowman in Hendrick’s four-car Cup lineup next season. Instead of the star-studded group that featured Gordon, Johnson and

Earnhardt a few years ago, the team will have three drivers under the age of 25 and Johnson, who will turn 42 next month.

“I don’t really have much of a concern,” said Hendrick, adding that Johnson will be a mentor while Gordon and Earnhardt will still have roles with the organization. “So they’ve got a lot of coaches.

But the main thing is just not putting too much pressure on them and letting them go out and learn.

“If William continues to do what he’s done in every series he’s been in, he’ll adapt fine and he will learn. You might as well let him learn in what he’s going to be driving for years to come.”

Kahne and Hendrick agreed to part ways Monday, just weeks after Kahne earned a playoff spot by winning the Brickyard 400. Hendrick said Wednesday that his former driver remains under contract for another year and likely will land at an “alliance” program next season.

“I’m not going to mention the team, but there are several situations that we’re talking to (about) kind of an alliance, which would be good for everyone,” Hendrick said.

“We’re working on it. We’ve been working on it. We’ll just see how it develops.”

Byron’s car will be sponsored by Axalta Coating Systems and Liberty University.

His promotion is the latest in a youth movement for NASCAR, which has seen Gordon, three-time champion Tony Stewart and Earnhardt retire in a little more than

two years. Former champions Matt Kenseth and Kurt Busch are among veterans who remain unsigned for next season.

Earnhardt said last weekend at Watkins Glen that there’s been “a major shift in how much drivers are getting paid,” adding that newcomers are making a fifth to a 10th of what veterans had been getting.

“You can’t pay a driver five to eight million dollars a year if you ain’t got but $10 million worth of sponsorship,” Earnhardt said. “That ain’t going to work.”

Hendrick said the “cost to race” has increased, and teams have had to find ways to save money.

“In our business, we just want to win,” Hendrick said.

“Our brand is all about trying to win races and grow for the future. I plan to be in this a long time. I’m real excited about having a guy that’s won as much as William has. I love the dedication he’s shown.

“I think we are positioning ourselves for the future.

We want to be here. I’ve been in it a long time and I want to see our organization grow and grow with these talented drivers.”

Molina slam after cat runs on field leads St. Louis over K.C.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Yadier Molina hit a grand slam one pitch after a cat ran onto the field in the sixth inning, helping the St. Louis Cardinals rally to beat the Kansas City Royals 8-5 on Wednesday night.

The Cardinals loaded the bases off Royals relievers Brandon Maurer and Peter Moylan.

Molina was at the plate, with two outs, when the cat came onto the field and ran toward the center field wall.

On the next pitch, Molina drilled his 14th homer of the season into the left field seats for his fifth career slam.

Melky Cabrera hit his 15th home run, a two-run shot, that had given the Royals a 5-4 lead in the fifth.

Molina

Merrifield

Whit Merrifield had four for the Royals, who opened the game with four straight hits off Mike Leake and took a 2-0 lead on an RBI double from Lorenzo Cain and RBI single by Cabrera.

Merrifield made it 3-0 when he scored on Molina’s throwing error in the second.

The Cardinals scored twice in the second, on an RBI sacrifice bunt from Leake and an RBI single from Matt Carpenter, and then tied the game on Jedd Gyorko’s RBI single in the third.

Jose Martinez gave St. Louis a 4-3 lead in the fourth inning with his ninth homer.

Leake, the Cardinals’ starter, allowed five runs on 11 hits in five innings. Royals starter Trevor Cahill lasted just 2 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on four hits and walking five.

Matt Bowman (3-4) earned the win. Maurer (1-5) took the loss.

Trevor Rosenthal closed out the ninth inning for his ninth save.

Spieth feeling relaxed as he chases history at Quail Hollow CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Jordan Spieth already has shown a remarkable sense of the moment.

He earned his PGA Tour card by holing a bunker shot on the 18th hole and winning a playoff. In the final round before the Presidents Cup selections, he shot 62 while playing with Phil Mickelson, who told U.S. captain Fred Couples, “Dude, you’ve got to pick this guy.” And right when it looked as though Spieth might throw away another major, he nearly made an ace and followed that with an eagle on his way to winning the British Open.

That was his third major, and it brought Spieth, newly 24, to the grandest moment of all.

No one has ever won the career Grand Slam at a younger age. No one has ever completed it at the PGA Championship.

Spieth has never appeared more relaxed.

“There will be pressure,” he said. “This is a major championship. This is one of the four pivotal weeks of the year that we focus on. So there will certainly be pressure. I’m simply stating there won’t be added expectations or pressure. It’s not a burning desire to have to be the youngest to do something, and that would be the only reason there would be added expectations.”

Spieth doesn’t see his greatest challenge as the history at stake. He considers it the Quail Hollow Club course that he has played only one time,

and the strongest field in golf that features a few major champions who are desperate to make sure the year doesn’t end without them adding Spieth another major.

Rory McIlroy comes to mind.

So do Dustin Johnson and Jason Day. McIlroy is a slight favorite, mainly because he has won two times at Quail Hollow — one year with a 62, the other with a 61 — and has finished out of the top 10 just one time in his seven appearances.

“If you’re matched up on Sunday ... you obviously want to be able to play against somebody like Rory who has four major championships and is one of the top couple most accomplished players in this field,” Spieth said. “But he is one to fear in that position because of what he’s capable of doing and how he’s going to do it.”

Fear is not a word Spieth uses often.

This week at the PGA Championship is more about being free from the burden of trying to win a major this year. He says he hasn’t felt this way since the 2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, right after he won the Masters for his first major.

“Almost like I’ve accomplished something so great

this year that anything else that happens, I can accept,” he said. “That takes that pressure, that expectation away.”

After winning at Chambers Bay to get halfway to the calendar Grand Slam, he felt slightly different at the British Open. There was added pressure — if only slightly — and more expectations when he considered the prospect of winning them all in the same year. Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods never got that far.

Neither did Spieth. He missed a playoff by one shot.

But there was a moment he recalled that illustrates what it means to play freely.

He holed a 50-foot birdie putt to tie for the lead with two holes to go at St. Andrews. Instead of hitting his tee shot over the Old Course Hotel to have the best angle into the 17th green, he played down the left side — the safe side. The Road Hole Bunker in his way, he missed the green to the right and then missed a 5-foot par putt. A par on the final hole ended his dream of the Grand Slam.

Looking back, Spieth said he should have gone down the right side of the 17th hole.

He will be playing the opening two rounds with Masters champion Sergio Garcia and U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka, who know the feeling.

Spieth figures he has two decades or more playing the PGA Championship if he doesn’t complete the slam this week.

Royals’ Top Five The first five hitters in the Kansas City lineup combined for 13 hits: four from Merrifield, three from Cain and two each from Eric Hosmer, Cabrera and Mike Moustakas.

Merrifield’s four hits tied his career high.

Streak Snapped Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar snapped an 0-for20 streak with a single in the sixth inning. He added another single in his next at-bat.

Fancy Fielding The Royals escaped jams in the second and third with inning-ending plays from their middle infielders.

Escobar ranged to the other side of second base to nab

Paul DeJong’s up-the-middle grounder, with two runners in scoring position, in the second inning.

In the third inning, with the bases loaded and just one out, Merrifield made a diving stop on a hard-hit grounder from Leake and flipped to Escobar for an inning-ending 4-6-3 double play.

Up Next Royals: RHP Jason Hammel (5-9, 4.73 ERA) is 4-6 with a 5.68 ERA in 12 career starts against St. Louis. He’s 4-4 with a 4.95 ERA in eight starts at Busch Stadium.

Cardinals: RHP Lance Lynn (10-6, 3.12 ERA) has a 1.21 ERA since July 8, the lowest among MLB pitchers during that span.

Veteran's Affairs Director, Kurt Jackson, submitted to the Board his quarterly report ending June 30, 2017.

Motion by Cupples, seconded by Carpenter to approve the Veterans Affairs report for the period beginning April 1, 2017 and ending June 30, 2017.

YEA: CARPENTER, CUPPLES, BROCK Building and Grounds Director, Adam Sparks, presented to the Board quotes to purchase a new freezer to replace the 15 year old freezer that is going bad at the Congregate Meals building. The quotes are as follows: TriMark Hockenbergs Hoshizaki CF2S-FS 50 cu. ft. reach in freezer............$3,811.06 TriMark Hockenbergs Traulsen G22010 46 cu. ft. reach in freezer......................$4,500.00 Bolton & Hay Traulsen G22010 46 cu. ft. reach in freezer......................$6,570.14 Newton Freezer Atosa MBF8503 46 cu. Ft. reach in freezer......................$2,800.00 Motion by Carpenter, seconded

by Cupples, to approve the purchase of a Traulsen G22010 46 cu. ft. reach in freezer from TriMark Hockenbergs for the amount of $4,500.

YEA: CUPPLES, BROCK, CARPENTER The Supervisors chose to accept the quote for the Traulsen G22010 46 cu. ft. reach in freezer from TriMark Hockenbergs on the recommendation of the Building and Grounds Director who stated that the quality of the Traulsen was better than the others and from past usage of the brand the County had gotten its money's worth.

County Engineer, Russ Stutt, presented to the Supervisors quotes for miscellaneous road pipes and bands and they are as follows: Contech Engineering Solutions.... ...................................$25,853.08 Metal Culverts Inc.......$26,992.10 Motion by Carpenter, seconded

by Cupples to approve the purchase of various road pipes and bands from Contech Engineering Solutions in the amount of $25,853.08.

YEA: CUPPLES, CARPENTER, BROCK A discussion was had concerning the road project for the Maytag Dairy Farm Road. The Engineer stated that he would be in contact with Merna Ver Ploug from the Maytag Dairy Farm and would also make her aware of the various materials that can be used for dust control.

It was determined that the Supervisors would need to pass an amendment to the current ordinance, which was adopted in 2015, to change the minimum road width from 26 ft. to 28ft. for graveled roads. A discussion was held on the merits of both 28 ft. wide roads and 26 ft. wide roads.

No action was taken on the resolution to commit to a program to rock half of the Townships each year. The Engineer did state that his goal was to accomplish that task each year if at all possible.

The Engineer stated that he was not against trying some road stabilization products but was leery about the price of those products. Supervisor Cupples said that he would like to see a small “sample” get tried this year.

In attendance for the discussion concerning the use of room 104 in the Courthouse was District Court Judge Terry Rickers, Clerk of Court Kelly Ruhnke, District Court Administrator Chris Patterson and Assistant Clerk of Court, Amie Dredge.

Representatives of the Court stated that budget cuts and subsequent staff cuts have caused them to place remaining court staff on the second floor locking the door and turning off lights in room 104. Supervisor Brock made it known that the County has need for space in the courthouse and saw the office was dark and the door locked.

Court representatives said that they hope someday to have an increase in staff and to again fully use room 104. Efforts are being made to transfer a district court scheduling coordinator to Jasper County. Chairman Joe Brock expressed displeasure in the lack of communication from the Court.

District Court Judge Terry Rickers apologized for the lack of communication and promised that there would be a better effort made by the Court to communicate with the County in the future. Rickers stated that the Court has no intentions of making any future physical changes to the Courthouse to meet the Supreme Court's recent statement on guns in the Courthouse, that the Court did not have the authority to do so.

A discussion was held about the future of the County Annex building. Buildings and Grounds Director Sparks stated that waterproofing the foundation of the building and doing something with the dilapidated dock was a “must”. Supervisor Carpenter asked that Sparks contact the company, Basement Stop Leak, to look into waterproofing the building.

Motion by Carpenter, seconded

by Cupples, to approve Board of Supervisors minutes for 07/25/2017.

YEA: CUPPLES, BROCK, CARPENTER There were no Board appointments.

Motion by Cupples, seconded by the Carpenter to adjourn Tuesday, August 1, 2017 meeting of the Jasper County Board of Supervisors.

The meeting was discontinued when everyone left the room.

You’ll be zipping along today, moving in spite of your restraints or maybe even because of them. The limits do have a way of focusing your power in one direction.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In the past you felt it best to concede your power to another. It made the situation easier, and at that moment it seemed like the right thing to do. That moment is passed. It is now time to take your power back.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Much activity will center on possessions. You’ll treat possessions as living things, with respect for their purpose,

attention to their maintenance and storage that honors their aesthetic value.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Before you leave the house, get centered on what you want. This will prevent you from needless wandering. See, you’ll be lucky today. Hearts and doors will open to you.

With so few borders, the limits must come from within.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

This will be a sociable day in which your relationships run harmoniously. If there’s the least bit of tension it will serve as a spicy touch for the ultimate enhancement of the tie.

Cubs continue to struggle, lose series to last-place Giants SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Madison Bumgarner admits at times he wondered whether he would make a complete recovery from injuries sustained in a dirt biking accident.

He looked like his old self against the Chicago Cubs.

Bumgarner allowed four hits over seven innings to win for the second time since returning from the disabled list, helping the San Francisco Giants defeat the Cubs 3-1 Wednesday and complete a winning homestand for only the second time this season.

“Obviously there’s going to be some times when doubt creeps in,” Bumgarner said.

“It’s just like anything else, you’ve got to deal with it. You can’t try to push it aside, you can’t try to trick yourself, you just try to deal with it.”

Bumgarner (2-5) struck out seven, walked one and gave up five hits — including a third-inning home run by

Albert Almora Jr. Bumgarner is 2-2 with a 2.52 ERA in five starts since returning July 12 after missing nearly three months because of injuries sustained April 20. Since beating Pittsburgh on July 25, he did not get a decision against the Los Angeles Dodgers and lost to Arizona.

The 2014 World Series MVP has a 1.38 ERA in his last four starts and has received two runs or fewer of support in seven of 10 starts this year.

“I just think he’s shown what he’s really about with the way he’s thrown the ball because we know how good he

is, but still, that was a pretty serious injury that he had to overcome,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.

Hunter Strickland pitched a one-hit eighth and Sam Dyson completed the six-hitter with a perfect ninth for his eighth save.

San Francisco won two of three against the NL Central-leading Cubs and has won consecutive home series for the first time since May. The Giants went 5-3 on a homestand that included a two-game split against Oakland and two wins in three games against Arizona. The Giants went 5-2 against Cin-

cinnati and the Dodgers from May 11-17.

Joe Panik hit an RBI single in the second, Jarrett Parker had a tiebreaking single in the seventh against Brian Duensing (0-1) and Hunter Pence hit an opposite-field homer to right-center in the eighth against Pedro Strop.

Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks gave up one run, five hits and three walks in 4 2/3 innings.

“I had a good fastball in the first inning and it started to come back late, in the middle it was all over the place, I just had to battle. I had no fastball command,” Hendricks said.

Bolts Continued from Page 1B the change happened so I have been doing a lot of things behind the scenes to make this happen longer than some,” Luther said. “To me, I was ready to roll much earlier. It’s now up to the kids to become more active and go out for sports.

“We’ll catch the fever. I can’t wait for school to start. There is purple all over the building.

It looks awesome. It’s always great when something is new, but we have to keep the momentum.”

And what about the CMB Raiders’ shield that remains on the sidewalk in front of the school?

“I would assume we would try to get that off, but I am not really sure,” Fricke said. “I haven’t paid that close of attention to it. I haven’t noticed it.”

Fricke said Baxter will attempt to play every sport it had during its time as CMB. In the fall, the Bolts will have football, cross country and volleyball.

Luther remains the football coach, Scott Ranck will guide the Bolts volleyball team and Dennis Vaughn takes over the cross country program.

The two basketball coaches in the winter are familiar faces to the community.

The girls’ team will be coached by Eric Padget and the boys’ program is headed up by Zach Hasselbrink, who also is on Luther’s football staff.

Fricke said Richard Beeler, another football assistant coach, was hired to be the Bolts’ first wrestling coach.

Beeler was the strength and conditioning coach at Greene County last year.

In the spring, Baxter will offer boys’ and girls’ track and boys’ and girls’ golf. The soccer programs will stay as CMB but will be based in Collins-Maxwell.

Josh Russell is the Baxter boys’ track coach, but a coach has not yet been hired to take over the girls’ track program.

Fricke said Hasselbrink will be the golf coach, but Baxter still plans on trying to share with Colfax-Mingo if both schools can reach an agreement.

The Bolts plan to have both baseball and softball in the summer. No coaches have been hired in either program though.

The final CMB baseball team had less than 15 players, but Fricke said enough players have told the administration they plan on playing baseball this upcoming season.

“We did surveys with the kids to see who plans to play what sport,” Fricke said.

“Those don’t always mean everything, but it helps us gauge interest.”

Building momentum in the fall The Bolts are expected to be very competitive in cross country as the team includes four runners from last year’s CMB team which finished

fifth in Class 2A. The football team won’t be playing for a district title or a postseason berth, but the Bolts can build momentum in their program with a strong first season.

The volleyball team joins the Iowa Star Conference’s South Division where Don Bosco won the division at 5-0.

The best record overall was GMG, which finished 16-10.

The Bolts could come in and compete for a title right away.

“I know we’ll have success in cross country,” Luther said.

“I would think volleyball and football will have their fair share of success, too. We need to get the kids and community behind us as much as possible.”

Playing in the Iowa Star may eliminate levels of play in certain sports.

CMB was able to play freshman, JV and varsity games in most of the team sports. That is almost certain to change in the smaller league.

But that’s the only thing that changes on the surface for the Bolts from an athletics standpoint.

“Once we lose the fact that our teammates and friends from past years aren’t with us, the games are the same,” Luther said.

“The sports are the same, but instead of going to Roland-Story we are going to

North Tama and instead of North Polk we are going to Colo-NESCO. That’s really the only difference. We may not play as many levels in each sport, but we have great coaches on our staff and great kids in both the boys’ and girls’ programs.”

Playing Collins-Maxwell The Bolts and Collins-Maxwell’s Spartans were both added to the Iowa Star Conference in the offseason.

So not only did the two schools discontinue their athletic sharing agreement, but both will now have to play each other in every sport moving forward.

“The kids are accepting of it, but they are still hurting.

It’s hard and it may be hard for a while,” Fricke said about not playing for CMB anymore. “We are, at this point, just trying to get in the groove of being Bolts. There will be conversations about playing our former partners when the games start. We aren’t avoiding the conversation. We just have a lot of work to do before the games start.”

Luther thinks most of the emotions when it comes to athletics are gone, except when the game being played is against Collins-Maxwell. That is the biggest reason the longtime football coach wanted to face the Spartans on the grid-

iron this season.

“The emotions the kids will have from now on happen when we play Collins-Maxwell. Those nights will be very emotional,” Luther said.

“I pushed for the game with Collins-Maxwell because we didn’t want to go an entire year before we play them. We know we are going to be in the same district. I wanted to get that emotional first game out of the way and over with, especially since we aren’t in a district yet. That would have helped us both move forward.

Now, football is going to be the last thing that we play each other in. I would have rather it be the first thing to play both as a coach and an administrator.”

Transitioning to eight-player football The goal posts have been moved. The field has been shrunk. The Bolts are ready for the transition to the eight-player game.

The field is now 80 yards, and the field is about 12-14 yards skinnier from sideline to sideline.

The Bolts will be seen for the first time this season in a scrimmage on Aug. 18 at Colo-NESCO. Baxter opens the regular season at West Central Maynard on Aug. 25. The first home game is Sept. 8 against English Valleys.

“Football is football and that is how we are approaching it, but some are struggling with it,” Fricke said. “They think the game is going to change a lot.”

There are two districts in 2017 that will play with seven teams, but the Iowa High School Athletic Association denied multiple appeals from Baxter to join one of those leagues in an off districting year.

The Bolts have a full ninegame schedule and three homes games in 2017, but they will not be eligible for the postseason.

“The state turned down both appeals from us,” Fricke said. “Basically, they weren’t going to penalize those other teams and force them to travel. They told us we could schedule whoever we wanted to, but they wouldn’t place us in a district even though most of our games are coming out of one of those seven-team districts.

“They’ll play for the love of the game for one year, but it will sting at the end of the season if they do well and then can’t play in the playoffs. It will be hard for the seniors. They won’t get another chance.”
