Four running for supervisor seat; sheriff, auditor will run unopposed

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Four candidates are vying for an open seat on the Jasper County Board of Supervisors.

John Deegan and Sandy Shaver will be competing for the Democratic nomination on the primary ballot in June, while Republicans Doug Cupples and Mark Sutter are also running for a spot on the November ballot.

Current Jasper County Supervisor Denny Stevenson, a Democrat, will not seek re-election.

Nomination papers were due at the Jasper County Auditor’s office by 5 p.m.

Wednesday.

Deegan currently serves

as the Jasper County Assessor and has been in the field for the past 40 years.

Should he be elected, Deegan would have to resign from his role as assessor.

Originally from Waterloo, Deegan has been in Newton for 30 years and is ready to take a new role in the county.

“I call this my hometown. I really want to make

things good and I thought maybe this is the time to do it,” Deegan said.

Sandy Shaver, a retired life-long Newton resident, announced her intention to run in January. Shaver also previously ran in 2008 before pulling out of the race and supporting eventual winner Stevenson.

“It’s still within me and I still want to help people,”

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Brad Cubit of the Iowa State Patrol discusses state code during a recent Farm Bureau presentation on farm vehicle safety. Cubit and fellow State Patrol trooper Jason Marlow brought a room of about 50 farmers up to speed on various regulations, ranging from properly marking a slow-moving vehicle to how fuel tanks may be used.

State Patrol brings insight to Farm Bureau members

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News You might think a large grain auger being towed behind a truck would be obvious in the

daytime on a country road — enough to avoid a rear-end collision, anyway.

“It happens,” said Jason Marlow, of the Iowa State Patrol.

Marlow, the safety information officer for District D-1, along with Trooper Brad Cubit, discussed state code and much more during a recent Farm Bureau

Shaver said. “I have always done that, all of my life.”

Running as a Republican, Cupples also ran for the seat in 2012 but was defeated by incumbent Stevenson. Cupples works at Lauterbach Buick GMC as a sales associate.

“I want to serve the county and the people of the county. I believe with my experience through being in different management situations and being in ministry and running a budget that way, I definitely have the ability to do this,” Cupples said.

Sutter, of Valeria, described himself as a entrepreneur and technology expert.

Wellness Coalition makes plans for Newton Fest

presentation on farm vehicle safety. Invited in by Jeremy Beukema of the Farm Bureau, the two southern-Iowa troopers used both humor and serious images to help remind and refresh Farm Bureau members’ knowledge about Iowa farm vehicle regulations.

The group of about 50 farmers seemed engaged in the presentations given at the in the lunchtime event, held at the Newton DMACC Conference Center. Photos of car wrecks drew the expected gasps, while the troopers’ comic approach to more lighthearted subjects drew laughter.

“It’s a sickness,” Marlow said, referring to his affinity for buying more lawn mowers than he needs.

Topics ranged from speed and lane-use regulations to properly marking a slow-moving vehicle to how fuel tanks may be used. Marlow

The Newton Wellness Coalition discussed ways to be involved in Newton Fest activities at its Wednesday meeting.

The group focused on two areas of the festival set for June 9-12 — the morning fitness activities at Sunset Park and the afternoon Kid Zone play area, both on Saturday.

“At Sunset Park, Skiff Medical Center is going to have yoga in the park in association with the YMCA and Project AWAKE is going to do the 5K starting from Sunset Park and going to the arboretum and back,” coalition member Nathan Unsworth said.

The group discussed contacting vendors to get a piece of exercise equipment that would be a part of the adult outdoor exercise gym to showcase what an adult gym looks like to the public.

“It would neat if they could give us some real equipment,” coalition member Robyn Friedman said. “We would only have it there for that day and we could explain this is where we want to put this senior exercise outdoor gym area.”

WHERE IT’S AT Astrograph......................5B Calendar..........................5A Classifieds......................4B

Gov. Terry Branstad signed into law Wednesday a law that will give all veterans a final resting place.

Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) managed the bill through the Senate, where it was unanimously approved.

HF 2266 will allow local veterans organizations to give the unclaimed remains of veterans a proper funeral with military honors and lay them to rest.

“HF 2266 begins to Allen help solve a problem that goes unnoticed to many of us — unclaimed remains of those poor souls who have died alone, away from or without their family or were homeless,” Allen said.

The law creates a process for funeral homes with unclaimed cremated remains to work with the Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs to identify them, Allen said. If the remains of a veteran, their spouse or their dependent remain unclaimed, a veterans’ organization will make arrangements for inurnment at the Iowa Veterans Cemetery, among other heroes who served our country.

Currently, Iowa funeral directors cannot release cremated remains to anyone but a family member. This proposal sets up a framework to protect everyone’s rights and provide closure.

“This bill came to us with little fanfare or great attention,” Allen said. “But, I believe as we educate the public about this process we could have a great impact around all of Iowa’s communities.”

Mindful Eating

By Jenny Thompson RD, LD, CDE Newton Hy-Vee Dietitian What does it mean to eat mindfully? Mindful eating means paying attention to your actual eating experience — while at the same time enjoying it. It means submersing yourself fully into your meal, without multitasking.

This can be tough especially in today’s fast-paced world.

Many studies have shown that eating while watching television or doing other activities at the same time can lead to an increase in calories consumed. The overall goal of mindful eating is to base your food intake on physical cues (i.e. hunger) versus emotional cues. Finding time to slow down during meals and enjoy the food you are eating is very important to developing a healthy lifestyle.

Here are some important tips to incorporate mindful eating into everyday life.

Eat slower Take time to enjoy the food you are eating. Chew your food a little bit longer than you normally would. This will give your stomach time to tell your brain that it is full, and you might even taste new flavors.

Enjoy silence Eating does not necessarily have to be social hour.

Meal time can be used as a time for reflection of the day or the upcoming week. Eating in silence may not work for families with children, but it can be a time to slow down from an otherwise fast-paced world.

Shut off electronics Life can be very hectic at times. Make an effort to turn off the TV and put cell phones down. You may even learn something new from a family member or friend from engaging in conversation.

Take pleasure in the flavor of your food When people are in a hurry, they tend to not notice what or how much they are eating. Take time to notice all the different flavors in food. This is the perfect time to try that new recipe you have been dying to try.

Start today by trying mindful eating in your everyday life by preparing nutritious, delicious meals and then taking the time to sit down and enjoy your hard work with family or friends. Start thinking about how you eat, and that might even change what you want to eat — for the better.

8 T. unsalted butter 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1 1/2 cup whole wheat white flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 2 Tbsp vanilla extract 3/4 cup toasted pecans, chopped, divided 3/4 cup chopped dark chocolate chips 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil, allowing it to slightly overhang opposite edges. Coat with cooking spray.

2. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling often, until fragrant and starting to brown, 4 to 5 minutes.

Remove from the heat. Whisk in brown sugar; cool for 15 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.

4. Whisk eggs and vanilla into the cooled butter mixture until well combined. Add the flour mixture in two additions, gently folding until just combined. Reserve 2 tablespoons each pecans and chocolate chips; fold the remaining pecans and chocolate into the batter. Spread batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle reserved nuts and chocolate on top.

5. Bake the blondies until light brown around the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. They will appear slightly underbaked in the center; but will firm up as they cool. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 2 hours. To cut, grab the overhanging parchment or foil and transfer the whole batch to a cutting board, then cut into 24 bars.

crat. Halferty announced his intentions to seek re-election in January and has held several public meet and greets to engage with the citizens of Jasper County.

“During my first term, I was fortunate to have an outstanding team of staff members who handle day to day operations and emergency services in Jasper County,” Halferty said. “We have also accomplished many projects

that will allow us to continue to be prepared and provide a safe environment to our staff, inmates and the citizens that we serve.”

Also on the ballot, Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott will be looking to extend his time in office to a fourth term. Parrott is also running uncontested as a Democrat for the office he has held since 2004.

“There are things that you

can do to really help people and some of the accomplishments that we’ve done, I want to try to do some more,” Parrott said.

The primary election is scheduled for June 7 to determine who will be on the ballot in the general election on Nov. 8.

Wellness Continued from Page 1A Another area the coalition thought it could be involved in was the Kid Zone play area. Since play is a part of fitness, the group brainstormed how it could add to the activities. Ideas such as handing out water and sunscreen are possibilities.

Also discussed were ways to move forward with the kindergarten snack program following the news it did not receive any funding from the United Way of Jasper County. To fund the program, the coalition had requested $9,000 from the United Way. “The small group that responded to the coalition felt there are bigger, higher needs out there than what we established as a need for the reason for the funding,” Friedman said.

She said they liked the idea but felt it only provides for Newton and not the entire county. Also, they would like to see additional funding sources for the program instead of all funding coming from the United Way. Moving forward, the coa-

lition is planning to contact local parent teacher associations about picking up the funding for the program.

“Our need when presenting the program is to take the burden off of the parents

and establish that more parents were having struggles with it,” Friedman said.

Safety Continued from Page 1A spent a great deal of his portion of the 90-minute event addressing display of the slow-moving vehicle (SMV) triangle, including how large it needs to be and how often it needs to be displayed.

Marlow suggested farmers assume that on any day, the most reckless, least attentive and responsible drivers in Iowa might be using the roads that affect a farmer’s plans. For example, the Case 4480F eight-row corn head is about 21 feet wide; most two-lane paved roads in Iowa are 12 feet to a lane and thus about 24 feet across.

“Eight-row corn heads are wider than they look,” Marlow said. “And 12-row corn heads? Don’t do it. Just don’t do it.”

Marlow pointed out tractors and other vehicles should not be driven on the shoulder to allow vehicles to pass, as there are sometimes vehicles, debris or surface hazards there.

“Also, you should never wave people around you,” he said. “And kids are not allowed to drive their tractors to school.”

Cubit, a longtime trooper, focused more on weight ratings, especially for larger road trucks and their trailers. He talked a great deal about the gross vehicle weight rating, or GVWR, and how he has pulled over trucks for various reasons and ended up looking at the weight rating stickers for a truck and all of its trailers to determine if it exceeds limits.

He also said tanks used for anhydrous gas must be relabeled if used for diesel or another fuel.

“If a label or a sticker says a fuel or liquid is in a tank, that should be what’s really in there,” Cubit said.

“And each driver needs to research which license they need for what they’ll be doing or hauling.”

Let’s all go to the lobby A

Trending Mike Mendenhall

t the time of my first trip to the drive-in movies I wasn’t old enough to get behind the wheel or see over it. It was 1992, and my parents put me and my 4-year-old brother into our pajamas, popped a huge vat of buttered popcorn and drove our 1988 midnight blue Ford Escort to a drivein theater on South East 14th Street on Des Moines’ south side.

The movie was “Batman Returns.”

That afternoon, before we took our cloth and vinyl back seats, I had to prepare for the Caped Crusader the

only way a 7-year-old knows how. I took out every Batman action figure I owned, set up my Batcave playset behind my living room couch/fortress and let each plastic iteration of the Dark Knight take his turn piloting the Bat Jet and firing its dart cannons at a Joker figurine, which looked eerily like actor Jack Nicholson. A little role playing got me jazzed for the movie.

For a kid 24 years ago, and even today, going to the drive-in is a special treat. I was, and still am, fascinated with the simplicity and effectiveness of the bulky metal speaker connected to

the electrical cable which hangs from the window. The commercials urging customers to take a trip to the concession stand for that ice-cold Coca-Cola and sweet candy makes me nostalgic for a generation I’ve only known from movies, history class and the stories of my parents’ and grandparents’ generation.

Once the sun went down and the oversized projector began to spin that balmy summer night in 1992, it quickly became clear that Tim Burton’s vision of the villainous Penguin and his Red Triangle Circus Gang were a bit too morose for a boy of my age. But I couldn’t help but peak through my cotton Batman blanket from the backseat as I pretended to be asleep. That drive-in is now gone — making way for a Menards in the late 1990s. But

while it was there, the outdoor cinema had me captivated.

In 2016 a much taller me who is of consenting age to navigate the highways was driving by Newton’s Valle Drive-In — one of the few left in Iowa — and saw a new Batman will be hitting the white billboard-style screen.

Friday will be the official start to my spring when our local drive-in opens its gates to play “Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice.” I have already seen the latest unfortunate take on Frank Miller’s “The Dark Knight Returns” and Superman original mash-up. It wasn’t great, but the Dark Night beckons for his outdoor curtain call, and even with a lack-luster story, I don’t want to be late.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Retiree finds reward in forensic genealogy Looking for something to do in retirement, something that is rewarding and benefits others? You might consider forensic genealogy. Talk to Donna Martin-Netherton of rural Farmington in beautiful Van Buren County. Just the trip to her and her husband’s home, tucked away on the scenic Des Moines River, puts a smile on your face.

In her early 70s, Donna retired after 26 years as a pediatric nurse practitioner. She was looking for something to do from home that would keep her brain busy and help others. She had prepared genealogies of her family, so she joined the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG), a group of volunteers who do research for coroners online.

When someone dies, the coroner is obligated by law to notify the next-of-kin (NOK). The coroners must perform what is known as “due diligence” to make sure they’ve done everything they can to find the NOK. If the coroners run into road blocks, which can happen, they may send the information to APG. The information is usually in the form of a name, birth date, social security number or, if they’re lucky, parents’ names. APG does research using what they call reverse genealogy. They find the deceased’s parents and maybe the grandparents, and then reverse the process. They go back and look for the next biological NOK who is living. They construct what is called a genealogical circle.

They then write a report for the coroners. They list the decedent’s children, parents and siblings, along with addresses and phone numbers. The coroner then calls the NOK and notifies them of the death.

In March of 2009, Donna teamed up with Marcia Bignall of Williamsburg, Va. and formed Park Street Research, LLC. It is a pro bono organization that does forensic genealogy for coroners, medical examiners, and law-enforcement organizations. To date, Donna and Marcia have worked on 523 cases. They have eight cases pending. A case might take 12 hours or more.

Coroners inherently don’t have the budget to pay for research work, and law-enforcement organizations don’t have the time.

Donna and Marcia started forensic genealogy as a hobby. The work is very rewarding. They get lots of feedback from coroners in the form of emails: “We’ve contacted the family of John Doe and they are extremely grateful for the information,” etc.

Many of the families have been estranged for 20 or 30 years. A brother disappears. When Park Street Research discovers what happened to the missing brother, the family might say, “At least we know what happened to him.”

Donna and Marcia also do Unclaimed Persons, Cold Cases, and Murder Cases. They do not do family genealogies.

They had a case a short while ago that involved the bones of a Jane Doe who died in the desert in 1995. The law-enforcement organization thought they knew the name of the person, but weren’t sure. They asked Park Street Research to find someone who was living so that the agency could make sure it was the right woman.

Donna and Marcia went to work, like Agatha Christie detectives. They were able to find a son who was living on the East Coast. The law-enforcement agency contacted the son to get a DNA sample. It was a perfect match. Bingo.

Donna and Marcia do work online in California, Texas, Georgia, Florida and Nevada. Coroners in Iowa have other sources. Most of Donna and Marcia’s work is performed using data bases, newspaper files, telephone listings, etc.

They have a website: www.parkstreetresearch.org.

Contact Donna or Marcia if you want more information. They would love to hear from you.

What? Jasper County Conservation isn’t the same as DNR? It never occurred to me until recently reading the results of a study, that what we do and who we are at Jasper County Conservation was not clear to everybody in this community. I was surprised and it made me a bit sad to know that some people think we are the same organization as the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and perhaps we haven’t worked hard enough to reach absolutely everybody in the county. Maybe that is impossible, but just maybe we have reached you and you didn’t even know it was us.

I grew up in a conservation family, as my dad was an Iowa DNR law enforcement officer for, well, as long as he has been my dad. I have always known that my dad was a state employee, and that the IDNR is a state agency, funded by our state government.

On the other hand, field trips throughout my school years to our county parks with the Jasper County Conservation Naturalist top my “best ever” memories of growing up. Jasper County Conservation is funded by our local government, and it is your tax dollars that keep county parks such as Mariposa, Jacob Krumm, Ashton and the Chichaqua Valley Trail open and maintained. It is also your tax dollars that help employ the naturalists that visit your children and grandchildren’s schools, teaching them about the great outdoors and taking them on field trips. I feel like the jobs and responsibilities we all have at the Jasper County Conservation office are of paramount importance.

Here are some County Con-

Jasper County Conservation Keri Van Zante servation facts: • In 1955, the Iowa Legislature passed a law permitting counties to establish County Conservation Boards • The Jasper County Conservation Board was authorized in 1962, with the purpose being to acquire and develop county parks, preserves, forests, wildlife and other conservation areas.

Ending dog’s suffering is difficult discussion for wife

DEAR ABBY: How do I talk to my husband about putting his dog “Sunny” to sleep? My husband is the most loving, caring, generous person I have ever met, and I don’t know how to tell him it’s time to let his best friend go.

Sunny is 15 1/2 years old and can barely walk because of bad hips. The poor thing can see only shadows and is almost completely deaf. He has been like this for the last two years and is deteriorating steadily.

I’m trying to be understanding and supportive. I bought reusable diapers when Sunny could no longer control his bowels and bladder. I carry him outside multiple times a day and hold him up so he can urinate without the diaper. I wash him regularly after he soils himself. It is very sad. I keep hoping he will pass on in his sleep so my husband won’t have to make the call, but he is still clinging to life.

It is difficult to bring this up with my husband because he knows I’m frustrated with constantly cleaning up pee and poop and washing bedding after there has been an accident. I don’t want him to think I want him to put the dog to sleep just because it is difficult. It’s just TIME. Sunny’s quality of life is zero. The only thing he can do is eat and sleep.

Is that enough? Am I wrong? What should I say to my husband to put the poor animal out of his misery? — IT’S TIME, IN RENO DEAR IT’S TIME: Your husband is doing his best friend no favor by letting him linger this way. What’s going on now isn’t fair to Sunny or to you.

You might point out that dogs were put on this earth to run and play and enjoy their lives, something that Sunny hasn’t been able to do for a long time.

Suggest he contact Sunny’s veterinarian and talk to him/her about his beloved dog’s condition, because I’m pretty sure the vet will agree with me.

Then be prepared, because your husband may be so bonded with Sunny

that he will need grief counseling after his dog is no more.

DEAR READERS: A group of distinguished psychiatrists, the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry (GAP), needs help from some of you.

They need feedback from gay, bisexual or transgender people, many of whom have experienced conflicts with their faith because of who they are attracted to or their gender identity. Many, while attempting “conversion” treatment, experienced great emotional distress, but never considered consulting a mental health professional because they had been discouraged from doing so by their faith community. Knowing the struggles you have experienced could benefit individuals who need help and haven’t gotten it. Your input is important. It will give GAP psychiatrists a broader representation of people than they could get from any other source.

Thank you in advance for taking part in this important study. The Internet address to send your comments is mary.barber@omh.ny.gov. For those who don’t have email access, GAP’s mailing address is: P.O. Box 570218, Dallas, TX 75357-0218. In the past, readers have been generous in “telling it like it is,” and I hope you will continue because your experiences are important. Your participation may help to effect positive changes in the treatment of patients. — LOVE, ABBY

Jurors in federal court in Cedar Rapids deliberated a little more than three hours Wednesday before finding 40-year-old Randy J. Metcalf guilty of committing a hate crime. Metcalf is charged in the January 2015 beating of 31-year-old Lamarr Sandridge at the Northside Bar in Dubuque. Surveillance video from the bar shows Metcalf kicking and stomping on Sandridge’s head.

Justices struggle with key Colfax issues in voting rights case sesquicentennial

celebration taking shape

By Ryan J. Foley The Associated Press IOWA CITY — Iowa Supreme Court justices struggled Wednesday with difficult legal questions in a landmark case over whether to restore voting rights for tens of thousands of felons.

During an hour of oral arguments, justices were divided and puzzled over how they should interpret a provision in the Iowa Constitution adopted in 1857 that permanently disenfranchises those convicted of “infamous crimes.”

“Our founders gave us a phrase that gives us some difficulty today and probably has throughout our existence as a state,” Chief Justice Mark Cady said.

“They wanted to make people that committed infamous crimes ineligible to vote. They didn’t say felony crimes. They didn’t define any specific crimes. ... What are we to do today based on our history, where we’ve been and where we are now?”

At stake are voting rights for many of the 57,000 felons who have been disqualified from participating in elections or running for office in Iowa. The case has been closely watched because Iowa is one of only three states that disenfranchise convicted felons for life

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune

AP Photo In this Jan. 13 file photo, Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark Cady delivers his Condition of the Judiciary address to a joint session of the Iowa Legislature in Des Moines. Iowa Supreme Court justices struggled Wednesday with difficult legal questions in a landmark case over whether to restore voting rights for tens of thousands of felons.

unless their rights are restored by the governor.

The court is considering a challenge brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of Kelli Jo Griffin, who lost her voting rights after being convicted of a drug offense. An opinion is expected before the court’s term ends June 30.

ACLU attorney Rita Bettis told justices that Griffin’s crime was not infamous and urged them to declare that only crimes that are an “affront to democratic governance” trigger disenfranchisement, such as bribery of a public official and corruption.

Polk County Auditor

Jamie Fitzgerald, who runs elections in Iowa’s largest county, and the NAACP urged the court to adopt a similar rule.

That definition would restore voting rights to most Iowa felons — and potentially inmates at state prisons.

Cady and two other justices endorsed that definition in a 2014 case, saying only those felonies that were particularly serious and had a nexus to elections were disenfranchising.

But their opinion didn’t become law because it lacked a majority of the seven-member court.

Three justices agreed then that all felonies were infamous crimes, a position that state so-

licitor general Jeffrey Thompson urged them to adopt Wednesday.

Thompson argued the state had long drawn the line at felony convictions, adding that “also has the side benefit of being predictable and manageable” for elections officials.

Justice Brent Appel, who recused himself from the 2014 case, is seen as a potential swing vote. Appel said he believed the constitutional interpretation should be decided by the court and not lawmakers, who defined infamous crimes as all felonies in 1994. “It’s hard to decide, but that’s our responsibility,” Appel said.

COLFAX — In the basement meeting room of the Colfax Public Library Monday night, Judy Sullivan reached into her folder and pulled out a stack of rainbow-colored glasses, shaped like the number 150. Sullivan passed them out to the other members of the Colfax Sesquicentennial Committee for a well deserved group photo, complete with jazz hands.

The committee has been planning Colfax’s 150th anniversary celebration for more than a year. It’s slated for June 17-19 and will have parades, live music, contests and a treasure trove of Colfax history. The committee is comprised of members of the Colfax Historical Society, Colfax Main Street and volunteers exclusive to the sesquicentennial event.

Following Monday’s planning meeting, committee member Larry Daft said he believes the months of planning will pay off with a festival which he hopes will follow in the nostalgia of the town’s centennial and bi-centennial before them.

“We’re working really hard to have a good, entertaining weekend for the people to celebrate the sesquicentennial,” Daft said. “Hopefully people get caught up a little bit in the history of Colfax.”

The three-day event will be packed with activities for the whole family. Friday will see a kiddie parade followed by a full parade. Information on parade entries will be released at a later time.

Saturday will feature a 5K run, the Sugar Creek Cloggers, Liberty Band at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, a horseshoe contest, canned food sculpture contest judging, a magician, car and tractor show and shine, kids train rides, carriage rides and a tour of Teen Challenge — a former monastery.

Sunday’s events include a community church service, music from the Bluegrass Blondies of Ottumwa and kid games.

Times, locations and expanded details for each event will be released closer to the June celebration.

Another quirky contest June 19 will be the Beard and Leg Contests. Colfax residents will get the chance to show off their burly prowess for the best facial hair and legs in town.

Peggy Dvorak is heading the contests, and she said some of the categories are still in development. But some definites are longest beard, best groomed and perhaps “most likely to have a bird’s nest in it,” she said. For the legs contest, hairiest and most muscular will be judged with more classes still under consideration.

A currently unannounced contest is also in development for the ladies of Colfax.

In the lead up to the sesquicentennial, the Colfax Historical Society is hosting two fundraisers April 23. A disc golf tournament is scheduled for 9 a.m. at Lewis Park and High Tea will be at 2 p.m. at the historical society museum.

The week before the 150th celebration, a screening of a the film adaption of the novel “Mutiny on the Bounty,” co-written by Colfax native James Norman Hall in 1932, will be shown June 11 at the Colfax-Mingo Jr./Sr. High School. The time is still to be determined.

More details on these and other activities will be announced closer to the celebration. The committee is urging any individual, business or organization who is interested in being a sponsor to a sesquicentennial event, planning on participating in the celebration to contact Larry Daft at 515-674-3972.

Ronnie Milsap to perform in Des Moines Newton Daily News Hoyt Sherman Place and 35 Concerts have announced legendary country artist Ronnie Milsap will perform one night only at 8 p.m.

May 20 at Hoyt Sherman Place.

Tickets start at $55 and go on sale at 10 a.m.

Friday. Tickets can be purchased at the Hoyt Sherman Place Box Office, 1501 Woodland Ave, by phone at 800-7453000, or online at Ticketmaster.com.

Milsap ranks as the preeminent country soul singer of his generation.

He also represents much more than any two-word definition can convey: a humble, overtly friendly fellow with a talent as vast and multi-dimensional as the American South.

Milsap provided country music with one of its most important voices,

as the genre was moving beyond its rural roots into the mainstream of modern entertainment.

Country music could not have found a man more suited to lead the charge.

Steeped in the mountain music of the North Carolina hills and schooled in classical piano, Milsap found inspiration early in life in a wide variety of music. Even as he mastered Beethoven and Mozart, his heart belonged to hardcore country and rhythm-andblues — music he heard beamed from powerful radio stations located in Nashville. Those earthy sounds about life and love provided a young, impoverished blind boy with a connection to a world beyond the harsh reality of his daily existence.

Milsap’s formative teenage years set a tone for an entire lifetime.

Email birth announcements to newsroom@newtondailynews.com

Personal battles, career goals, ideas about love — figuring out how all of that will play out during adulthood is one of the big chores of those high school years. Setting the backdrop for much of that inner struggle is the music — it’s the soundtrack of one’s identity, the bond that glues generations.

That idea is at the heart of Ronnie Milsap’s most recent album Summer Number Seventeen, an album that explores the influences on a musician who built a Hall of Fame-caliber career and who became one of the most influential voices in country music’s storied history.

Milsap has used pop, rock and R&B elements to test country’s borders, and he did so in a way that connected fiercely with the music buying public.

Cardinal girls’ tennis team set for season to start

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News With six varsity players returning off the 2015 team, Newton High’s Cardinal girls are “solid” heading into the 2016 tennis season, according to sixth-year coach Erick Zehr.

“We have some really solid players returning from last year’s team,” Zehr said. “We should be pretty solid at the top of the roster, so the question will be who steps into the open spots in the varsity roster, and how do they perform.”

Senior Kate Wyre went 8-2 in singles matches last year for the Cardinals in dual meets.

She finished third in the No. 2 singles competition at the Little Hawkeye Conference meet.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Senior Sierra Griffith is one of six varsity tennis players returning for Newton High’s Cardinals in 2016.

Junior Megan Pressgrove is half of the LHC No. 1 doubles championship duo for Newton. Also returning are seniors Sierra Griffith, Madison Humphrey and Elizabeth Myers and junior Katherine Thorpe.

Newton’s varsity went 5-5 in dual meets. The Cardinals were 2-3 in conference action, tying for third place.

“Overall, we should be one of the strongest teams in the conference, and if we play

as well as we are capable, we should have a chance to win or at least be competitive in all of our meets,” Zehr said.

YMCA swimmers ready for Midwest Regional

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Eight members of the Newton YMCA Penguin Swim Team compete in the 2016 Midwest Regional Swim Meet Saturday and Sunday at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center in Minneapolis, Minn.

The meet has around 1,300 swimmers from 10 to 12 states competing.

Alex Inskeep qualified in the 200-yard freestyle, 50 freestyle, and 100 freestyle.

Izzy Lane will swim in the 50 breaststroke and Ethan Comer qualified Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News in the 25 breaststroke.

The NCAA is dragging its feet with Ott T

he NCAA moves at its own pace. This is nothing new. Another great example is how the collegiate organization is handling the Drew Ott situation.

We learned Wednesday the NCAA denied Iowa’s appeal to allow Drew Ott a fifth year of eligibility and has been denied several times. It’s not stopping Iowa from continuing the process though.

The entire Iowa football staff is frustrated.

There are other examples of players from around the country who have been given the extra year, so Kirk Ferentz continues to plead his case.

It may not end well, but it doesn’t hurt the Hawkeyes to go after some-

This & That Troy Hyde thing they feel strongly about.

Either way, Ott will either be leading the Hawkeye defense or playing in the NFL this fall. He’s an impact player who has a bright future in the game.

In women’s basketball news, there are some people around the country who feel like blaming Connecticut for its women’s basketball dominance.

How is the fact that they win the championship nearly every year their fault?

The Huskies are obviously doing something right, but it’s up to the rest of the nation to catch up.

If you don’t want them to be dominant, then find a way to knock them off.

The main issue with the dominance could be because women’s basketball programs are allowed 15 scholarships.

Men’s college teams are given 13 schol-

arships. There are a lot less quality Division I women’s players around country than there are in the men’s game so it makes it tougher for women’s coaches to recruit great players.

So, while a men’s player will go to a school like Northern Iowa because Iowa or Iowa State did not offer them, the Hawkeye or Cyclone women’s teams can corner the state better.

Lisa Bluder can offer two more players with scholarships and those players in the men’s game are likely going to smaller schools. That’s why there are way more upsets in the men’s game than the women’s game.

Connecticut has simply cornered the market on the nation’s best players.

It can offer two players who may never play for the Huskies scholarships just to keep those players away from other top programs.

You can’t do that in the men’s game.

There aren’t enough scholarships to go around.

Speaking of scholarships, the Iowa men’s program now has one to fill after redshirt freshman Brandon Hutton de-

freestyle and the 25 backstroke.

Arabelle Eide qualified in the 100 backstroke and Jadin Brooks will swim the 200 freestyle.

MaKenna Brooks qualified in the 200 freestyle, 50 freestyle, 100 individual medley, 100 backstroke and 50 butterfly.

Chloe Kibbee will swim the 200 freestyle, 50 backstroke, 50 freestyle, 100 backstroke and the 50 butterfly.

Inskeep, Eide, MaKenna Brooks and Kibbee qualified in the 200 medley and 200 freestyle relays.

cided to transfer.

I hope Fran McCaffery and the coaching staff gives the scholarship to Nicholas Baer. He has earned it.

The argument against that is the Hawkeyes have much more pressing needs elsewhere, like at the point guard position. I understand that. However, Baer was one of the best players on the team this year, and I feel good about saying that.

He isn’t the most talented guy, but you don’t have to worry about him not showing up or not playing hard in an NCAA Tournament game like you did some of the other guys against Villanova.

The other question is, will Iowa finally dip its hat into the transfer pool that exists. There will be talented players on the market who have decided to transfer away from their current schools. Iowa State has taken advantage of this in the past. Will Iowa join them and try to get a quick fix to replace the four outgoing seniors?

Jose Reyes’ domestic abuse case to be dropped HONOLULU (AP) — Maui prosecutors are moving to dismiss a domestic abuse charge against suspended Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes because his wife isn’t cooperating.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Kerry Glen said she expects to file documents Wednesday to drop the case. Reyes’ wife won’t talk to prosecutors or return to Maui, she said.

Girls Continued from Page 1B Isabella Leach, Kinzie Loree and Haley Walton.

New to the girls’ tennis team are senior Vlada Osadcha, junior Leah Thomas,

“The witness, Mr. Reyes’ wife, is what we call an uncooperative witness,” Glen said.

“At this point, I have no other avenue for prosecution.”

Reyes was scheduled to go to trial April 4. He pleaded not guilty to abusing a family or household member. David Sereno, his Maui defense attorney, couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

The former New York Mets

shortstop was arrested Oct. 31 at the Wailea Four Seasons Resort. According to a recording of a 911 call released by police, a hotel security guard reported the woman had injuries to her leg and scratches on her neck.

Reyes was released after posting $1,000 bail and was ordered to stay away from his wife for three days.

Reyes’ wife rebuffed requests for cooperation through

a Maui attorney she hired, Glen said.

Glen will ask for the case to be dropped without prejudice, meaning she’ll have about two years from the date of the alleged offense to refile charges if Reyes’ wife eventually cooperates.

“For misdemeanor offenses, we cannot force an uncooperative witness to come back,” Glen said.

sophomores Harlie Durr and Alexis Hoffman and freshmen Sommer Markham, Rachel Mullikin, Haley Rinehart and Anna VanDam. “We should be fairly strong in singles, so we will spend a great deal of time working on our doubles play,” Zehr said.

“We are led by a very strong senior class, which includes several of the best leaders we have had in our program in a very long time.”

Zehr said they are emphasizing teammates being supportive of one another to help create a fun, competitive atmosphere.

Newton has six home meets this season. The Cardinals open the season Tuesday at home against Marshalltown in non-conference action.

Hutton granted transfer release by Iowa men’s hoops Newton Daily News IOWA CITY — Freshman Brandon Hutton has asked for and been granted a release to transfer from the University of Iowa men’s basketball program, coach Fran McCaffery announced Wednesday.

Hutton, a 6-foot-5, 212-pound forward from Chicago, redshirted this past season.

“Brandon is a terrific individual who remained positive and worked on

his game all season long,” McCaffery said.

“He is a versatile player, who is ultra-competitive, and we wish nothing

but the best for Brandon moving forward. My staff and I will do whatever we can to help Brandon during this transition.”

Hutton added, “I would like to thank coach McCaffery and staff for this past year,” Hutton said. “Even though I redshirted and did not play in games, my coaches and teammates helped me grow as a basketball player in practices. With that said, I feel like it is in my best interests to pursue an expanded role at another institution.

“I would like to thank my teammates for the friendship we developed and their support with this decision.

And also a special thank you to the Hawkeye fans for making me feel welcome this past year.”

Hutton’s departure opens a scholarship that could go to redshirt freshman Nicholas Baer, who played significant minutes this past season as a preferred walk-on.

The Hawkeyes also have to fill voids left by four outgoing seniors.

The tried-and-true types don’t always make it as the first choice for doing business or inviting out, if only because too much predictability can have an adverse affect on human interest. But with the unsettling Mercury and Uranus alignment, the ones who always take your call or return it immediately deserve to be at the top of the list.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 31). This solar return, you shine with such an attractive attitude that you’ll find you have more social offers than you know what to do with in the weeks to come. May features exotic scenery. Your

comfort and skill with difficult people will lead to big money in June and October. Your eye for collecting will pay off in November. Leo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 16, 43, 2 and 12.

You’ve so much experience to share, though you don’t always have receptive people around you that make it worth your while to do so. Today is different. You’ll teach and they’ll eagerly take the lesson.

will ensue, in which you take pains not to step on the other person’s toes or pride.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Someone is trying to fit you into a role, but you have other plans. You may have to stop being so nice about this. It’s better to declare your stance now, while it’s still early in the process.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Sometimes the best preparation is the awareness that whatever you bring, it won’t be all that is needed; you’ll still have to improvise. Good thing you are a first-class, brilliant improviser!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Work could tie up your mental

energy in politics and power struggles, but love will be a reprieve from all of that, due to your uncomplicated, lighthearted approach to relationships.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll create beauty. It won’t be the kind you can hold and keep. This beauty is situational and born of your keen awareness of others and complete immersion in the moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

The new situation will seem daunting. It’s natural to fear it for a moment, but you’re a pro. You’ll live with the fear and move forward anyway.

As for those who turn around at the first sign of trouble, let them go. You need a strong team who will face the obstacles just like you do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). No one is going to grant you the time, freedom and resources to do what you want to do. If you’re passionate enough, you’ll figure out a way to reorganize your life around your own priorities. It will feel like thievery.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To the untrained eye, the mirage looks like a very real answer to thirst. You’re more skeptical, as you’ve been

tricked by the elements before.

The only way to find out what’s really on the horizon is to move forward.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). False gossip is harmful, and true gossip is even worse.

Don’t spread it or even listen to it today. Keep your own cards close to the vest, as there are those out there who can turn anything into a scandal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There’s a formality to today’s proceedings, and everyone will be more comfortable adhering to the tradition. A sticky situation may have you brushing up on your etiquette.
