Warden named for Newton Correctional Facility

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The Iowa Board of Corrections appointed a new warden to the Newton Correctional Facility on Friday morning at its regular meeting.

Kristine K. Weitzell, who had only been the warden of the Fort Dodge Correction Facility since early September, was appointed by the board Friday to run the Newton medium- and minimum-security sites. The move comes about one month after the retirement of the top two Newton prison officials,

warden Terry Mapes and deputy warden Jill Dursky.

Weitzell has extensive adm i n i s t r at i v e corrections experience with proven leadWeitzell ership in the management, supervision and treatment of adult offenders, according to DOC spokesperson Fred Scaletta.

She was the superintendent of the Clarinda Correctional

Facility for about 18 months before being moved to Fort Dodge last fall, when James McKinney was moved from Fort Dodge to fill the vacant warden position at the Iowa Medical and Classification Center in Coralville.

Friday’s announcements did not include any mention of Newton’s deputy warden position.

Weitzell will continue to focus on the department’s mission to advance successful offender reentry to protect the public, staff and offenders from victimization, Scaletta said.

The minimum-security east

campus of the Newton facility, known as the Newton Correctional Release Center, is typically one of the last stops for inmates serving medium-length or short sentences and who are approaching their release dates, with off-site work detail privileges and programming such as Puppy Jake service-dog training.

Mapes and Dursky announced their resignations shortly before a pair of recent inmate escapes at Newton. A Jan. 23 escape by a single inmate, along with a pair of inmates getting away on Feb. 27.

Has Dakota Access jumped the gun?

These led to a public statement and subsequent rally by the union that represents corrections employees, calling for higher staffing levels around the state.

According to the Iowa Department of Administrative Services, Weitzell made about $131,000 in fiscal 2015. She has also been involved with the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics for several years.

Fun for all ages More than 160 locals attend Granny Basketball YMCA fundraiser

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News

File Photo Thirty-inch pipe waits in a farm field north of Highway 6 East on East 76th Street North, three miles east of Newton.

The pipe intended for the Dakota Access Pipeline began arriving in Jasper County in April 2015. The Iowa Utilities Board will meet Monday to discuss Dakota Access’ progress on meeting stipulations for the pipeline’s Iowa construction permit.

IUB session Monday to address permit stipulations

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News DES MOINES — The Iowa Utilities Board will return to open session at 1:30 p.m. Monday to discuss progress of Dako-

ta Access, LLC in meeting additional permit requirements for the construction of the 346-mile Iowa stretch of a four-state crude oil pipeline.

The meeting will follow up on Thursday’s board decision to

investigate reports that Dakota Access has begun clearing land designated for the pipeline’s construction — an action that could violate the regulatory board’s orders.

Thursday’s meeting was in response to landowner reports which allege workers contracted by the Texas-based pipeline company have begun posting

No running, no touching, no hovering — those were the rules for the Newton All-Star team Friday night as they took on the Monroe Mustangs Granny Basketball team for the third annual YMCA fundraiser at Berg Middle School.

The Mustangs showed off their experience early on and held a prominent lead for most of the game. They made layup after layup and scored points from the free throw line off many fouls on the AllStars.

The All-Stars held on until late in the game when a change in the rules made it anybody’s game, and the Mustangs prevailed, capped by a last second shot to win 46-42.

The fun, spirited and comical Granny Basketball Game was the kickoff for the Newton YMCA’s Annual Support

Campaign to raise money for people in need.

More than 160 people attended at the event which raised at least $2,015, according to Newton YMCA Associate Executive Director Rhonda Robson.

Through this financial assistance, the Y can offer help in the areas of child care, summer camp, programs like swim lessons, swim team and youth sports and it even helps with YMCA memberships.

“As an organization committed to strengthening our community, not only do we offer financial assistance, we strive to keep our membership and programming fees low and allows us to engage more community members and make a real difference right here in the city of Newton and Jasper County,” Robson said.

Newton resident selected to Business Record Forty Under 40 Business Record Noreen Otto, of Newton, has been named to the Business Record Forty Under 40 2016.

Otto, 35, is Hy-Vee Inc. vice president for government relations and earned the Progressive Grocer “Rising Stars” award in her second year with Hy-Vee. Otto served for four years on the Newton City Council, which took on infrastructure, Otto marketing and park projects during her tenure, and she currently serves on three different nonprof-

She has also traveled to Japan as part of a seven-person U.S. delegation with the American Council of Young Political Leaders.

What’s your biggest passion and why?

Engagement. Whether it’s a bill in the Legislature or a community project or raising money for charity, I want people to get involved. I want to be involved.

Be YOUnique!

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Absolutely YOUnique Boutique co-owner Nikki Stravers helps a customer find the right top Saturday during the Colfax clothing store’s grand opening. Stravers, her sister Tammi Schwickerath and brother Chuck Regnier retooled their Colfax store front and opened the boutique after retiring their direct-sales company Tee Parties. They operate the store with parents Dan and Patty Regnier.

Family-owned boutique opens in Colfax

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News COLFAX — Inside a small storefront at 7 E. Howard St. in downtown Colfax, Nikki Stravers sifts through a rack of women’s tops Saturday helping a costumer find the right size.

Meanwhile, her sister Tammi Schwickerath rings up a few accessories at the cash register while their brother Chuck Regnier walks a customer out to their car.

The brother/sisters trio, originally from Prairie City, just finished a three-month retooling of their former direct-sales company Tee Parties and Saturday unveiled their new store front, and the only exclusively clothing retailer in Colfax, Absolutely YOUnique Boutique.

The store might be small, but it is packed with specialty clothing. When a customer walks in the door, busts and mannequins model jeans, blouses, shirts and accessories. Behind the scenes, the siblings’ aunt Ginger Wagaman runs the sewing machine

in the boutique’s embroidery room.

The first rack at the front of the store holds the small-town boutique’s own private label clothing line “Freedom Fashion.” Schwickerath said Absolutely YOUnique has contracted with a supplier which will design their private label to their specifications down to the last stitch. Freedom Fashion is a wholesale company, and the Colfax business owners hope they’ll be able to offer the line to other boutiques to sell.

“We really like to carry something that appeals to everyone in the family, so if there is someone here in town who doesn’t want to go outside of Colfax — a lot of people prefer to stay in town — we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to appeal to everybody ... and provide a shop so they don’t have to leave town,” Stravers said.

This includes men’s apparel. Beyond “Freedom Fashion,” the boutique owners plan to eventually launch a private label jean, sell the popular “Miss Me” denim line and incorporate more brands like RockRevival. The boutique also has an on-

line store at absolutelyyouniqueboutique.com where customers can shop and order from home. Although they are still adding merchandise, and have yet to incorporate their men’s line, the Absolutely YOUnique family says there is something for everyone.

“Shoes, sunglasses, hats, everything that’s fun, we want to make it a very fun place to shop with specials every week and online,” Stravers said.

“We want it to be a unique experience for people, so you never know that the special is going to be the next week.”

The siblings first opened the building in late 2014 as an office for Tee Parties. In fall 2014, the trio decided they wanted to step away from direct sales and open a clothing boutique and proper store front. Beginning Jan. 1, they covered the windows and began construction on Absolutely YOUnique Boutique. Chuck Regnier said they knocked down a wall and started painting — “a lot of painting.”

The wall removed to create the sales floor was repurposed as a display counter and denim rack, while the

I find apathy terrifying. Everyone has something to offer. Engagement in your business or in your community solves problems.

What is it that drives you?

That saying “If not me, who?” has always resounded for me. I’ve never been able to not raise my hand to help, to take on a role, or to attempt a project. There are plenty of problems in the world; it’s up to each of us to solve them.

What are your future aspirations Hy-Vee has been successful by growing and adapting. I’m looking forward to growing and adapting along with it.

Also, Newton is my home, and I will continue to put energy into moving that community forward. And finally, I want to raise my sons to be kind, smart and feminist.

remainder of the material now stands as a fitting room.

Absolutely YOUnique Boutique is open five days per week Tuesday through Saturday. Hours during the week will be later than most retail outlets in town to allow work-day commuters the time to return to Colfax and shop. Saturdays the store will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Although they’ve retired the Tee Parties company name and its homebased direct sale gatherings, which Schwickerath and Regnier operated for four years, Absolutely YOUnique will still provide customers the opportunity to host a Tee Party in-store.

“The direct sales — going into homes — will not continue, but we’re hoping to incorporate it so people can contact us and host a Tee Party here, bring a carload of their friends, and get to shop,” Schwickerath said.

“Whoever is deemed the host will get a percentage of the sales back to shop in here for free. It will be a different experience.”

The boutique is not the family’s only business venture. Stravers, Regnier and Schwickerath first went into business with their father Dan Regnier in 2009 with the screen printing company R&S Apparel. It was operated from the same basement northwest of Colfax where Tee Parties printed its first catalog. The family business owners told the Newton Daily News in 2015 that R&S has printed graphic T-shirts and uniforms for the Newton High School track team, Colfax Little League, local soccer clubs and — the company’s “most loyal customers” — The Army National Guard at Camp Dodge and in Nebraska.

The downtown Colfax boutique will remain an office headquarters for R&S and is still primarily operated by Dan Regnier. But Stravers said the Absolutely YOUnique project all stems back to their parents. The siblings left Tee Parties behind and built a store front not for profits but to benefit their mom and dad as they near retirement.

“We would like to provide our parents the opportunity to retire and give them something to step into that’s fun and rewarding and also provide some income for both of them,” she said.

For Dan and Patty Regnier, Absolutely YOUnique is a symbol of the pride they have in their children’s work ethic and vision.

“This is great,” Dan Regnier said Saturday while looking onto the sales floor. “It’s fun watching the kids grow.”

Newton escapees apprehension details released

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News New information has been released on the March apprehensions of Newton Correctional Facility inmates Michael Amodeo and Jessy Foley.

On March 15, Fifth District Fugitive Unit received information on Foley that led them to the 1600 block of East Bell Avenue in Des Moines, according to Iowa Department of Corrections Assistant Director Fred Scaletta.

At the residence, officers made contact with residents Chris Landers and Danielle

Foley

Dawson who stated they were the only people in the house and allowed officers inside.

Officers observed a female subject lying face down on a couch in the upstairs living room and were able to wake the subject and identify her as

Jolene Yates, Foley’s sister.

Yates had a valid probation violation warrant and she was taken into custody.

Officers then began searching the upstairs of the residence and found Foley hiding in a bedroom closet. He was ordered to exit the closet and was taken into custody.

Both Foley and Yates were transported to the Polk County Jail on active arrest warrants. Dawson was taken into custody and transported to jail on a preliminary probation violation.

On March 23, the fugitive unit followed up on information that Amodeo may be at

the Extended Stay America, 2701 Westtown Parkway in West Des Moines.

After surrounding the property, officers noticed a Chevy Tahoe turn its lights on and attempt to leave. They stopped the vehicle and found Stephanie Marie Hilgenberg in the vehicle. The vehicle was registered to Tyler Formaro who was known by officers to be Amodeo’s cousin.

Hilgenberg was uncooperative with officers and denied knowing Amodeo’s whereabouts. Officers saw a room key to the hotel, and they went to the room where they were able to make verbal con-

“I’ve always been interested in Granny Basketball, but I had never seen a game. I thought it was a good fundraiser for the Y, and it was fun to see

the two teams compete,” Veenstra said. “I’m glad I went.”

A large assortment of pies were auctioned off during halftime of the event. A blueberry pie along with four Newton Club tickets to the opening weekend races June 18-19 were donated

by Iowa Speedway. The package sold for $200.

Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small said he was happy to raise money for a great local cause,

and he was proud to participate.

“It was an honor to be re-elected to the Newton YMCA All-Star team for the third consecutive year.

Being part of this helps us build momentum around our final push along the campaign trail for the re-election of 2016 season tickets at Iowa Speedway,” Small said.

hand picked loose colored gem stones

flags and cutting brush along the pipeline’s Iowa route. Similar reports of small crews entering private properties, clearing brush and marking the pipeline route in Jasper County near Reasnor came to light in mid-March. According to board documents, the IUB also received reports of an electrical substation being built in Story County that is intended to service a pumping station.

The debate centers around whether or not these activities constitute construction as defined in the board’s order approving the pipeline. The IUB approved a permit March 10 giving Dakota Access authority to build the pipeline through 18 Iowa counties and use of eminent domain on parcels which landowners have not yet signed a voluntary land use easement.

The pipeline would stretch from the Bakken Oil Fields of North Dakota to a hub in Patoka, Ill. The pipeline would carry 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day through the state. The underground pipeline will stretch 33.73 miles in rural areas of Jasper County from Mingo through Reasnor.

In a filing following the March 31 meeting, the board stated, “The board’s ‘Final Decision and Order’ granted a permit to Dakota Access, but the permit was not issued with the order. Instead, the Board said that ‘no permit will be issued, and construction may not commence, until [the compliance filings] have all been filed with and accepted by the Board.’ These contacts from the public present the question of whether the activities described above, assuming they were, in fact, the activities of Dakota Access or its representatives, constitute ‘construction.’ The Board’s rules define ‘pipeline construction’ as ‘a substantial disturbance to agricultural land associated with installation, replacement, removal, operation or maintenance of a pipeline, but shall not include work performed during an emergency.’”

The IUB reports the pipeline company itself may have defined “con-

tact with a male inside. After several commands to come out, Amodeo opened the door and surrendered to officers without resistance.

Amodeo was transported to the Polk County Jail.

Hilgenberg was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact by Polk County detectives.

Agencies involved in the arrest were the Fifth District, United States Marshals, Polk County and Division of Criminal Investigation.

struction” to include clearing brush and marking the route. The IUB said if Dakota Access is found in violation of its order it may levy a civil penalty “not to exceed” $100,000 for each violation. Each day the violation continues “constitutes a separate offense, up to a maximum of $200,000 for a related series of violations.” The board said it will establish a schedule for further investigations of these activities.

But the permit has not officially been issued. Attached to the IUB order were several stipulations which Dakota Access must meet before construction is allowed to begin. These include a modified agricultural mitigation plan, a $25 million insurance policy with parental company financial grantees in event of a leak or spill, construction timeline notifications to landowners, modified condemnation easements with landowner protections and a statement accepting the board’s terms and conditions.

The board also ruled Thursday against Dakota Access’ request to keep the $25 million policy confidential. The IUB decided the company’s policy is not entitled to confidentiality, although the pipeline company argued that the documents contain private business information.

One group which disputed Dakota Access’ request to keep the insurance policy language confidential is the Northwest Iowa Landowners Association. In a March 23 filing with IUB, NILA argued that the Dakota Access has failed to prove parent company ETP will be able to financially grantee any leak or spill cleanup effort. The landowner group believes making the insurance policy public is the only way to ensure the pipeline meets the IUB’s requirements.

The filing states, “only through transparency ... can the public verify that protection is adequate and in place.

This is also important on a going-forward basis, as Dakota Access must file annual proof of insurance with the Board. NILA asks how that filing will be fact-checked outside the agency if it is kept confidential.”

OUR VIEW

Newton Main Street makes strides in inaugural years Newton Main Street describes its district as the heart of Newton.

In many ways this is evident — the grand Jasper County Courthouse and its many functions as our county seat, the architecture and magnificent sculptures on its lawn. Surrounding this mainstay is significant history, longstanding businesses and new endeavors, shopping, dining, housing, entertainment — and still immeasurable opportunity.

In the two years Newton Main Street has been in existence, great strides have been made to celebrate our downtown district.

With partnerships with the city, chamber, historic preservation commission and many others, much progress has been made.

The board of directors boasts some of Newton’s finest volunteers and the program’s director,

Andrew Bassman, has demonstrated his leadership in a number of initiatives.

Last week Newton welcomed nearly 100 people as host to Main Street Iowa’s Spring Workshop.

But far before the community could showcase its downtown district and welcome dozens of guests, a lot of behind the scenes work was accomplished.

Newton’s Main Street earned National Main Street Center and Main Street Iowa accreditation and became a stand-alone 501(c)(3). The largest grant available from Main Street Iowa was awarded to Newton’s Main Street last fall to the tune of $75,000 to restore the former Hotel Maytag Ballroom.

Other projects were more visible to community members. We enjoyed the return of the farmers’

market to downtown, celebrating local vendors, entertainment and socializing each Tuesday afternoon on the courthouse square.

Other events like the second-story tour, commercial space open house, Shop Small Saturday promotion and cash mobs reinvigorated our excitement for our main street district.

In the coming months, Newton Main Street will begin its efforts to develop more support for its program. The pledge drive will mean fundraising, but perhaps one of the most valuable assets to Newton Main Street’s success is its volunteers. It’s our hope that business leaders and community members alike see the value in celebrating, supporting and investing in our downtown district.

It is the heart of Newton.

Attracting visitors, new workers by enhancing quality of life Workforce development must be an Iowa priority, according to the Iowa Business Council’s 2016 report. To fill an expected 612,000 job openings by 2025, we need to attract and retain more workers.

That’s a challenge for Iowa, which has a relatively low unemployment rate of 3.7 percent and the slowest population growth in the country. The Business Council’s report indicates that Iowa is the only state whose total population did not grow at least 50 percent between 1900 and 2010.

Our growth rate during that time was 36.5 percent. From 2010 to 2015, America’s population grew by 4 percent, while Iowa’s in-

State View Sen. Chaz Allen creased by only 2.5 percent.

Senate File 2280 is designed to spur Iowa’s economy by attracting more visitors and tourism, as well as more families to live, work and make their home here. It would provide resources to programs that enhance Iowa’s economic development, create recreational and cultural opportunities and invest in natural resources.

The bill creates an Enhance Iowa Board, an Enhance Iowa

Fund, a Sports Tourism program and fund and provides additional resources to existing recreational, cultural and natural resources programs. Each fiscal year that the state has a surplus of more than $100 million, $25 million will go to these “Enhance Iowa” efforts. The money will be used for state and county parks, watershed protection, recreational trails, community attractions and tourism projects, and sporting events that attract visitors to the area.

SF 2280 has been approved by the Appropriations Committee and is ready for debate in the full Senate.

Trump! Clinton! Is that all there is? No. Fortunately, we have other choices.

A recent poll shows that if the election were held today, 11 percent of Americans would vote for a Libertarian, former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson. That’s surprising, since last election Johnson got just 1 percent of the vote.

This year, he’s doing better, probably because Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton hold the highest percentage of “unfavorable” reactions from voters in more than 30 years. I assume the Libertarian total will go higher, since most poll respondents had no opinion about Johnson. They probably don’t know who he is.

They can learn more by watching my Fox Business Network show April 1 and April 8. On those days, I’ll air a debate among the three leading Libertarian candidates. They are Johnson, software businessman John McAfee and The Libertarian Republic founder Austin Petersen. The Party will choose its nominee at the Libertarian convention in Orlando, Florida, over Memorial Day weekend.

What a relief to hear libertarian views after months of hearing Clinton and Trump talk about reducing Americans’ liberties.

Clinton wants to raise taxes, curtail gun rights, force us all to pay for inefficient “green energy,” impose new regulations on just about everything, etc.

Trump wants to increase spying on American citizens, put a giant wall between the U.S. and Mexico, start a ruinous trade war, etc.

Libertarians want limited government, one that doesn’t mess around in your personal life or try to run the economy.

Gary Johnson suggests immigrants to the U.S. just first undergo a background check to make sure they aren’t criminals or terrorists, and then prove they have employment and can pay their taxes. He’d get rid of the complicated quotas the U.S. has on who can come here from which countries and in which professions — a bureaucracy that takes the best and brightest immigrants years to navigate.

Johnson has a track record. The governor cut red tape and the number of government workers in New Mexico. He vetoed 750 bills and used a lineitem veto to cut thousands of other items. He lowered New Mexico’s taxes and balanced the budget while remaining popular with voters. Running as a Republican, he was elected to a second term in that Democratic state.

Now, as a Libertarian presidential candidate, he warns “the idea that we can somehow balance the federal budget without cutting military spending and reforming entitlements is fantasy.”

John McAfee calls government “corrupt” and “technologically illiterate.” He says he’ll push a policy of “privacy, freedom and technology.”

McAfee says, “Individuals should be free to make choices for themselves and accept responsibility for the consequences of the choices they make.” He’s had a few brushes with the law himself, including an arrest for driving under the influence, so he knows what it’s like to be in the government’s crosshairs.

Like economist Milton Friedman, he says that we can’t have open borders and a big welfare state — so McAfee says get rid of the welfare state and open the borders, so long as immigrants submit to being documented.

He wants to reduce government’s domestic role to policing disputes and otherwise let people engage in trade, including drug sales. He says our military role overseas should be reduced so that we interfere less in the affairs of other nations.

Austin Petersen, like many libertarians, describes himself as “fiscally conservative and socially tolerant.” He proposes a 1 percent spending reduction in all government programs and a simple flat tax, and he would let young people opt out of Social Security.

Like Johnson and McAfee, he wants to reduce immigration bureaucracy, the drug war and military interventions. Unlike some Libertarians, Petersen says he is pro-life.

Local law enforcement conduct nighttime enforcement project Newton Daily News On March 17, Newton Police Department and Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office participated in a special Traffic Enforcement Project in the city of Newton.

The primary objectives of this project were to locate alcohol violations, excessive speed and seat belt enforcement. The project lasted four hours. A saturation

patrol was conducted in and around the City of Newton from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.

During the project Officers from the Newton Police Department and the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Department conducted traffic stops on motorists for violations of the Iowa Traffic Code.

Officers issued 16 citations and warnings for violations of the Iowa Traffic Code. These vio-

lations included equipment violations, no insurance, excessive speed, and failure to obey a traffic control device.

Officers arrested three people for drug violations. These arrests included felony possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of a prescription drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia. Officers also arrested one driver for operation of a motor ve-

hicle while intoxicated and cited one driver for .02 violation.

Voluntary compliance with Iowa’s traffic safety laws is always encouraged. With the warmer weather approaching we want to remind drivers to slow down and look for children and bicyclists.

Primary funding for the project was provided by the Iowa Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau.

Girlfriend chafes at request to quit drinking for a year

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating an alcoholic for three years. He recently entered a treatment program because after his last binge he tried to kill himself. He seems to be committed to his program and staying sober.

He has requested that I stay sober with him for at least a year. While I’m fully committed to our relationship and support him, I don’t feel that it’s fair that I should have to completely forgo drinking because he has a problem. I’m not looking to go out and party every night — those days are over for me — but I’d like to enjoy an occasional beer with a friend or a glass of wine with my mom.

When I approached him about my doing so, he became upset. He said if I have this one exception, he believes the exceptions will continue and I will be at his old level of drinking. Do you think his request is reasonable? — SOBER IN NEW JERSEY DEAR SOBER: That depends upon whether you, too, had an alcohol problem before your boyfriend joined the program and were his drinking buddy. If the answer is yes, I don’t think his request is unreasonable. However, your boyfriend may be afraid that if you drink regularly, it may threaten his newfound sobriety. If that’s the case, if you love him, you should refrain for a year as he has requested.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have the same argument every year or so. It’s about dancing with other people when we’re out for the evening. I feel that “grinding” is sexual and that it’s inappropriate for someone in a relationship to do it with anyone else.

I made my sentiments clear to her when we first started dating, but it seems that about every year when we

are out, she’ll start dancing with some guy in a very provocative manner. I’ll get unhappy about it, but when I confront her, she gets angry with me and says that it means I don’t trust her. I trust that she’s not going to go off and sleep with some random guy, but I feel it is wrong because she knows how I feel about it. How can I get her to see it my way? — PRINCIPLED IN SAN DIEGO DEAR PRINCIPLED: She already knows it upsets you, so try this.

Get up, join her and her partner on the dance floor, and start doing the “sandwich.” And make sure that the person in the middle is YOU. DEAR ABBY: My husband is in poor health, and when his time comes, I would like to have him stuffed. It would be comforting to see him sitting in his favorite chair in the living room. That way I’d always know where he is, plus he wouldn’t be asking me for another beer all the time. My kids don’t like the idea.

What about you, Abby? — DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CALIF. DEAR D.H.S.: Grief makes people do strange things. I’m not sure you are thinking this through. Once you are finished grieving, you may meet someone you want to watch a game with and need that chair.

Jasper County celebrating Public Health Week coexist with cars and public transportation. We need lower levels of violence and crime so everyone can safely live, work, learn and play.

Support farmers markets and local businesses that value health, such as retailers that don’t sell tobacco.

Newton Daily News Jasper County Health Department is celebrating National Public Health Week through April 10. Changing our health means ensuring conditions that give everyone the opportunity to be healthy.

Join the department in Pryor celebrating National Public Health Week 2016 and become a part of the movement for change:

Help all young people graduate from high school Education is the leading indicator of good health, giving people access to better jobs, incomes and neighborhoods. Call for policies that start with early school success and lead to higher on-time high school graduation rates. Be a champion for school-based health centers in your local schools. Become a mentor — you can make a difference.

Build a nation of safe, healthy communities Health must be a priority in designing our communities, from healthy housing to parks and playgrounds.

Walking and biking must

The relationship between increased economic mobility and better health

The science is clear: Poverty and poor health go hand-inhand. It’s time to fix our country’s growing income inequality and the unhealthy stresses it puts on adults and children.

Support policies that ensure a living wage and remove barriers that make it harder to advance to higher incomes.

Social justice and health Everyone has the right to good health. We must remove barriers so everyone has the same opportunity to improve their lives and their health.

Speak out against racism and an unequal criminal justice system. Demand a fair allocation of community resources.

Everyone needs a voice in improving our communities.

Give everyone a choice of healthy food Our food system should provide affordable food with nutritious ingredients, free

from harmful contaminants.

For many families, eating healthy is a daily challenge.

Call for policies that help eliminate food deserts and bring healthy food to all neighborhoods and schools.

Support measures like menu labeling that help people make healthier choices. Start a community garden. Volunteer for a local food bank.

Preparing for the health effects of climate change Our health is connected to our environments.

What happens upstream to our environments at work, school and home affects our health downstream. Support policies that protect the air we breathe indoors and outdoors and the clean water we drink as well as those that help protect our health from natural and manmade weather events and disasters.

Provide quality health care for everyone Health reform was just a start. To fulfill its potential, we must continue to pursue options for expanded access to quality care at the federal, state and local levels. But we also need to shift the main focus of our health system from one that treats illness to one that equally emphasizes prevention.

Strengthen public health infrastructure and capacity Strong and consistent funding levels are necessary for the public health system to respond to both everyday health threats and also unexpected health emergencies.

Support more funding for key public health agencies like the CDC and HRSA. These agencies strengthen the public health workforce and are a major source of funding for state and local programs.

poses lengthening mandatory sentences.

The repeat abuser bill, which has been pushed by a woman whose boyfriend held her hostage several years ago, easily passed the state House on an 86-12 vote in early

March. But since then it has remained in the Senate, where lawmakers have changed much of the bill’s provisions and are discussing additional changes that would reduce the emphasis on mandatory minimum sentences.

The House bill’s supporters argue that habitual offenders should serve at least 85 percent of their overall sentence,

especially if they are seen as being likely to be violent once they leave prison. Others, though, question the value of longer sentences and maintain some victims are better off if their abuser isn’t imprisoned.

Tiffany Allison has been working for three years to toughen penalties for habitual abusers, prompted by her personal experience.

Larry & Diana Ambroson NEAT Ways To Burn Calories Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) is calories burned while doing common daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, pacing, fidgeting, etc. that are not related to structured exercise. Studies show that increasing your NEAT can play a part in helping to maintain a healthy weight along with a healthy diet and regular exercise. NEAT movements can burn up to an extra 300 to 700 calories a day. To increase your NEAT, take the stairs, park farther from your destination, pace or stand up while talking on the phone, take a walking coffee break, walk to lunch, clean your house, walk the dog more, etc.

Cardinals, Raiders, Mustangs play in Cardinal Invitational

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium was bathed in sunlight throughout Saturday’s Cardinal Invitational, but all five boys’ soccer teams had to cope with a strong, gusting wind out of the north which put temperatures in the 30s.

“We all had to deal with the wind today,” Collins-Maxwell/Baxter head coach Chad Grandon said. “I was pleased with the way our young team played today, handling the competition and the weather conditions.”

CMB’s Raiders opened their first soccer season in five years at the Cardinal Invitational against seasoned soccer teams. They lost 5-0 to Benton and 8-0 to Newton.

Newton’s Cardinals went 1-1 in tournament play, losing 2-0 to Des Moines Roosevelt and beating CMB. Roosevelt defeated Newton after downing Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustangs, 4-1. The Mustangs went 0-2 in action Saturday, dropping an 8-0 decision to Benton to open the day.

After being denied a score by Roosevelt’s Roughriders, Newton finally got the ball in the net at the 13:14 mark of the first half against CMB. CMB’s freshman goalkeeper Brendyn Padget fought off attacks by the Cardinals, who had the wind in the first half, early.

Newton had seven of its eight corner kicks in the first half and did not score off those against Padget. A shot by a Cardinal player went wide pulling

Padget out of position in front of the net, and Newton’s Griffin Engel made a great pass to the center for senior Nick Rusk to score on the open net.

Rusk’s goal came at the 13:12 mark of the first half. Engel, another senior, scored on an assist from Rusk for Newton with 2:10 left and Rusk added a goal 30 seconds before the halftime buzzer. The Cardinals led the Raiders 3-0 at halftime.

“We played three halves of competitive soccer today,” Grandon said. “We knew we’d take our lumps this season as young as we are as a team. We took our lumps in the second half against Newton. Brendyn made some great saves in the first half of that game.”

Newton head coach Sackda Viravong concurred about the play of the Raider goalkeeper. Newton credited Padget with 17 saves as the Cardinals put 26 shots on goal in the game.

“This could have been an ugly match if it wasn’t for the CMB keeper, who made a lot of close range saves that kept their team in the game. We took nine shots before we finally scored our first goal,” Viravong said.

Teams played 30-minute halves in the tournament. Newton senior Chet Adams pushed his team’s lead to 4-0 four minutes into the second half. Junior Josh Ventling scored the next two goals for Newton, coming at the 18:01 mark and 4:08 mark.

Damman leads Newton golf team to second place finish

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News WEST DES MOINES — After waiting more than a year to get back into competition, Newton High’s Cardinal boys opened the 2016 golf season with a solid performance Friday.

The Cardinals have played Class 4A golf in the fall for several years, but are in Class 3A for 2016 playing in the spring.

Newton finished second in the Norwalk Invitational Friday at Willow Creek Golf Course in West Des Moines. Gilbert combined for a fourman score of 287 to win the tournament with the Cardinals in second at 323. Norwalk was third at 329.

Earlham placed fourth at 356 followed by Norwalk No. 2 at 362, Saydel at 369, Dallas Center-Grimes at 378, Norwalk No. 3 at 394 and

Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont at 420.

“I thought the kids played pretty well. It was our first meet of the year and the conditions were not ideal but we competed,” Newton head coach Pat Riley said.

Newton senior DerDamman ek Damman found himself tied with Ty Austin of Gilbert at the end of regulation. Both golfers had a 75 for the 18-hole tournament.

Damman recorded a birdie to Austin’s bogie on the first hole of a playoff.

Gilbert had four golfers in the top six individual spots led by meet medalist Garrett Jensen with a 66. Joe Gibbons of Gilbert was second at 70 and Norwalk’s Tyler Lanstrum carded a 74.

Damman earned the No. 4 spot, winning the playoff, and Austin was fifth. Gilbert’s Tommy Doyle was sixth with a 76.

Damman led Newton with his 75 followed by junior Austin Reynolds with an 82. Senior Payton Thomas and junior Trey Vanderlaan each carded an 83.

Also playing for the Cardinals, juniors Paul Maharry and Sam Supino each finished with a 91 and 102, respectively.

“Derek had a really nice round.

Austin had a couple bad holes or he would have been down in the mid 70s.

He will have better days I can assure you,” Riley said. “These two compliment each other well. If one has a bad day, the other usually plays well. Payton and Trey are my middle duo guys.

These two certainly have the potential to shoot mid to low 70s, and I believe they will before the season is out.”

Riley said Maharry and Supino are gaining valuable varsity experience and will help the team as the season progresses.

“I really like this team. They all get along well and help each other (and the rest of the team) during practices, practice rounds, and meets,” Riley said. “You can’t ask for a better group of guys to work with. I think the town of Newton is in for a great golf season.”

Newton plays Monday at Oskaloosa’s Edmundson Golf Course to take on Oskaloosa and Norwalk in a Little Hawkeye Conference triangular. Newton and Norwalk will be competing for the Wardinal Cup, which is competition just between the two teams.

North Carolina, Villanova play for NCAA title HOUSTON (AP) — North Carolina will look for its sixth NCAA championship when the Tar Heels meet the Villanova Wildcats, trying for their second, on Monday night.

The Tar Heels (33-6) last won it all in 2009 and Villanova’s only title came in 1985.

Both teams advanced to the championship game with lopsided wins, but Villanova’s was far more of a blowout than North Carolina’s.

The top-seeded Tar Heels beat 10seed Syracuse 83-66 on Saturday night in a national semifinal for their 10th straight win. That was after the Wildcats made easy work of Buddy Hield and Oklahoma, with a 95-51 trampling that was the biggest margin of victory in a national semifinal game.

Villanova (34-5) did it with 71.4 percent shooting led by Josh Hart, who scored 23 points on 10 of 12 shooting.

That percentage was the second best in the history of the Final Four.

The only team to shoot better was that 1985 team which won the title with a victory over Georgetown by hitting 78.6 percent of its shots.

“They shot the ball very efficient tonight,” Hield said of Villanova. “If a team

“It was very businesslike,” he said.

“No one was celebrating. Everyone understands that our next game on Monday we’ll be playing a great team and we’re not celebrating. We told each other at the end of the game that we have a lot of work to do. We can still get better.”

North Carolina also had a balanced scoring attack in its semifinal win with Brice Johnson and Justin Jackson adding 16 points each to go with 15 from Kennedy Meeks and Marcus Paige’s 13.

But it was the defensive effort of the Tar Heels that Williams was most excited about.

“The last four weeks we’ve been much, much better defensively,” he said. “We had a brain lapse there for about three minutes in the second half, but other than that I thought we were really good defensively against a team that’s hard to guard.”

The matchup on Monday could be interesting inside after both teams dominated in the paint on Saturday.

Villanova outscored Oklahoma 38-20 inside and North Carolina had more points but the same margin by making 50 inside to 32 by Syracuse.

Kyle Busch claims sweep at Martinsville MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Kyle Busch pulled away on a restart with 11 laps to go and outran AJ Allmendinger to the finish for his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory at Martinsville Speedway, and a sweep of the two-race weekend.

Busch, who won for the first time in 31 starts at Martinsville in a truck race on the 0.526-mile oval on Saturday, dominated in the premier division in bright sunshine but cool temperatures that never let the track get quite as sticky as it normally does.

He led 352 laps, the most since Bobby Hamilton led 378 on April 20, 1998.

Allmendinger was second, followed by Kyle Larson, Austin Dillon and Brad Keselowski.

The finish looked nothing like the leaderboard for most of the race, but Busch and teammate Matt Kenseth stayed out when a caution flew with 15 laps to go while the rest of the contenders pitted for fresher tires.

When the green flag flew, Busch sailed off, Allmendinger beat Kenseth to the inside position and Busch’s Joe Gibbs Racing teammate got hung up on the outside and faded to a 15th-place finish.

It was a reversal of the events of the previous restart, with 34 laps to go, when Busch and Kenseth worked together.

NASCAR photo Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 M&M’s 75th Anniversary Toyota, celebrates with a burnout after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday in Martinsville, Va.

That time, Busch restarted on the inferior outside, likely with an agreement that Kenseth would let him grab the top spot, and the two once again seemed to be the best cars.

But with 11 laps left, teammate deals were off, and Busch opted for the superior inside line.

Several other drivers who pitted started in the sixth row, or worse, of side-by-side racing, and while Larson and Ke-

selowski recovered for top-five finishes, others got caught up in traffic and that allowed Dillon to hang on out of nowhere.

It was the second straight race on the oldest, shortest race in the premier series that was a huge disappointment for Kenseth.

Last spring, he crashed race leader Joey Logano with 46 laps to go, earning himself a tworace suspension. This time, he seemed poised to challenge Busch for the lead with 35 laps

Liriano dominates, Pirates open with win over Cardinals

ISU players credited with saving woman’s life A group of former and current Iowa State football players is being credited with saving a woman’s life after her car plunged into a canal during spring break on South Padre Island in Texas last month.

Former Cyclones linebacker Jack Spreen told The Associated Press that he and some friends were sitting on a balcony at their hotel on March 16 when they noticed a car go into the nearby canal. Spreen said he, current linebacker Anthony Lazard and Joe Doran, who is no longer on the team, sprinted to the water.

The woman, who police said was Luis Maria Castro was attempting to kick out the windshield as water filled the car, Spreen said.

The three men tried to break the driver’s side window without success, but the woman was able to make a hands-sized hole in the windshield. Spreen said he and his friends were able to make that hole big enough to pull the woman out of the car.

The South Padre Island police department said in a press release that the witnessing officer, Michael Schiltz, credited the men with saving the woman’s life.

Castro was later charged with driving while intoxicated. The story was first reported by the Des Moines Register.

to go until a blown tire by Jamie McMurray caused a caution, bunching up the field.

The race also was a lost day for Denny Hamlin, one of the favorites going in and the defending champion.

Hamlin was running fifth after 221 laps after overcoming a pit road penalty until his car lost control heading into Turn 1 and slammed into the wall, sending him to the garage. He never returned, and finished 42nd.

IndyCar photo Scott Dixon sprays the champagne following his win in the IndyCar Series’ Desert Diamond West Valley Phoenix Grand Prix at Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday.

Dixon wins in IndyCar’s return to Phoenix AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — IndyCar’s return to the desert was supposed to fast and furious, maybe even a little dangerous.

It was certainly was fast, but Scott Dixon took most of the danger out with a dominating performance.

Dixon took the lead from Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Tony Kanaan with 155 laps left and never relinquished control, dominating IndyCar’s first race at Phoenix International Raceway in 11 years on Saturday night.

“The Target car was fast, really, really fast,” Dixon said. “I think at any point we had enough for anybody that was challenging. We definitely had some speed in reserve.”

Dixon started sixth and took advantage of tire trouble that knocked two of Team Penske’s drivers out of the lead to move up the grid.

Once he passed Kanaan coming out of pit road, there was no stopping Dixon until he crossed the checkers under caution for his 39th career IndyCar race, tying Al Unser for fourth on IndyCar’s all-time list.

It was Dixon’s 20th win on an oval and gave him victories in a series-record 12 straight seasons, a mark he had shared with Bobby Unser, Emerson Fittipaldi and Helio Castroneves.

Simon Pagenaud and Will Power helped save what could have been a disastrous day for Team Penske after Helio Castroneves and Juan Pablo Montoya suffered blown tires early in the race.

Pagenaud made a big push after going a lap down due to a back break on a caution and finished second for the second straight week.

Power was third after missing the season opener in St. Petersburg with an ear infection.

Kanaan finished fourth to give Chevy the top four spots and Honda driver Graham Rahal was fifth.

IndyCar returned to PIR for the first time since 2005 and the drivers faced a reconfigured-and-repaved track that was much faster than before.

Maybe too fast.

Drivers began breaking track records, at least unofficially, during a test in February and during the first practice session on Friday, when 16 of 22 drivers eclipsed Arie Luyendyk’s 20-year-old record.

Six drivers blew past the record during qualifying, led by Castroneves’ lap of more than 192 mph.

With the race coming under the lights, the concern was that lower temperatures could lead to even more speed and dangerous conditions with little room to pass.

Instead of carnage, the race was fairly clean — except for Team Penske.

Castroneves led the first 39 laps, but dropped out after his right front tire blew out.

Montoya took the lead when Castroneves was forced into the pits, then he suffered the same problem to the same tire and was forced to the pits after leading 56 laps.

“This is unbelievable,” Montoya said on the radio as he pulled into his pit stall.

The Penske drivers worked their way back toward the front, but couldn’t make up all the ground.

Montoya finished ninth and Castroneves was 11th.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Francisco Liriano tied a Pirates opening day record by striking out 10 and singled h o m e the first run of the 2016 Major League Liriano Baseball season for good measure, sending Pittsburgh past the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 on Sunday.

It was 39 degrees when Liriano threw the first pitch of the year. He allowed just three hits and walked five in six shutout innings. His RBI hit in the second came off Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright.

David Freese, the 2011 World Series MVP for the Cardinals, had two hits against his former club in his debut with Pittsburgh. Francisco Cervelli and Gregory Polanco also had two hits apiece for the Pirates.

Wainwright gave up three runs in six innings, walking three and striking out three in his first regular season start since tearing his Achilles last April.

The Cardinals tried to rally in the ninth against Mark Melancon, who led the majors in saves last year. Matt Carpenter hit an RBI single with two outs but Matt Adams, representing the tying run, flied out to end it.

Pittsburgh pointed to the honor of playing the first of the 2,430 games in the majors this season as a sign of respect for how far the franchise has come under manager Clint Hurdle.

The Cardinals and the Pirates have the two best records in MLB since the start of 2013, fueling a rivalry that — along

with the ascension of the Chicago Cubs — could make the race for the NL Central crown one of the most compelling storylines yet again.

Hurdle specified the need to get off to a better start than the 18-22 slog that slowed the Pirates last spring as vital if the team wants to earn its first division title since 1992.

Liriano wasted little time making a solid initial impression, even if most of the sun-dappled crowd at PNC Park was bundled in parkas and beanies to ward off the chill. There was snow on the ground in most Pittsburgh suburbs on Sunday morning, and crews had to deal with ice on the protective tarp.

University of Pittsburgh running back James Conner, battling cancer, gave the crowd a jolt by throwing out the first pitch and vowing to play in 2016. Liriano built off that energy and spent six innings befuddling the Cardinals with his signature mix of sliders and changeups.

Liriano gave the Pirates the lead in the second by singling home Polanco, and John Jaso followed with an RBI single to make it 2-0. That was more than enough for Liriano, whose briefly flirted with danger in the fourth and sixth. He struck out Yadier Molina and Kolten Wong to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth and stranded three more runners in the sixth.

Liriano’s 10 strikeouts matched the club’s opening day mark John Candelaria set in 1983 and Liriano matched in 2014.

Josh Harrison gave Liriano extra cushion with a sacrifice fly in the fifth and Jordy Mercer added an RBI double off Seth Maness in the eighth.

The creative Pisces moon poses the question, “Is all the decorum really necessary?” Some of the best dreams are silly, embarrassing and/or very likely to be, if realized, completely misunderstood by most people. Those brave enough to move forward with these kinds of dreams will be satisfied many times over.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 4). Your generous mood continues this year. You’ll give more than you thought was possible and still have much more left to give. The next seven weeks will bring many invitations, and you’d be wise to say yes to as many as possible. June shows you making a commitment

you’ll be celebrating for years to come. Cancer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 11, 33, 22 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You have many ways to deal with your fear: Push it down; face it; punch it; ignore it; dance with it. It really doesn’t matter which route you choose now.

The point is you are driven more strongly by your curiosity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Children can feel extreme joy without knowing enough to appreciate the value of it. The happiness you feel today will be made richer by your knowledge of its rarity.

This is a testament to the value you place on relationships.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’re too savvy not to notice when people are saying something that clashes with what they really mean. You’ll not only notice; you’ll make a plan based on what you feel is true (rather than what someone says is true).

so well, you can act as a buffer between this person and the harsh realities of the world. This is a sweet gift that you offer, but you’re also walking the fine line of codependency.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Loved ones can be clueless about showing you love.

Right now they feel like they’re stabbing in the dark for ways to please you. They’ll get it eventually. Be encouraging and enthusiastic over whatever efforts they make.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your best work is neither behind nor ahead of you. Your best work is the work you’re giving your all to now. When the moment is past, your best work is the new moment. Stop

judging it. You’re always doing your best.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Over-thinking is always a danger for people intellectually gifted like you. A situation that is more about feelings will enter your world and boot you right out of an unhelpful thinking loop. Intense attraction will be part of this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As far as your love life goes, a certain choice you made may have been mistaken, but choosing was not. There’s enough that’s right in this situation. If you build on the positive, there can be a lot of stability in this.

Royals hold off Mets in opening rematch of World Series KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Edinson Volquez would rather sit on the bench than stand on the mound on opening day, especially when it happens to be the first game following a World Series triumph.

“I like to enjoy the show,” Volquez explained with a grin. “Enjoy the time.”

He had every reason to enjoy Sunday night’s festivities anyway.

Given no choice but to start the game by Royals manager Ned Yost, the veteran right-hander responded with six scoreless innings. His bullpen held on through three more shaky frames and Kansas City beat the New York Mets 4-3 in the first opening-day rematch of a World Series.

“I did the best I could,” said Volquez, who also started the decisive Game 5 at Citi Field last November.

The Mets rallied for three runs off Joakim Soria in the eighth, then put runners on the corners with one out against Wade Davis in the ninth. But the All-Star closer struck out David Wright and Yoenis Cespedes, preserving a nail-biting victory and sending 40,030 fans home in another celebratory mood.

“They’re scrappy,” Wright said. “We knew that they put the ball in play, they find holes, put together terrific at-bats.

They get that lead early and you know the bullpen is coming in. That’s their M.O. — good starting pitching, terrific bullpen and a pesky offense. That’s exactly what they did tonight.”

Volquez (1-0) allowed two hits and three walks in outdueling Matt Harvey, who also opposed him in Game 5 of

The Royals won the rematch of the 2015 World Series teams, 4-3.

the World Series. Harvey (0-1) allowed four runs — three earned — on eight hits and two walks in 5 2/3 innings.

There wound up being little good about opening night for the NL East champs, still in search of their first championship in three decades. They spent nearly an hour before the first pitch reliving last year’s World Series defeat through a steady stream of highlights on the crown-shaped big screen, then had to watch the raising of the championship banner over the Royals Hall of Fame in left field at Kauffman Stadium.

“It was just strange, the pregame ceremony. I think I would have enjoyed it more if we played another team,” Yost said. “For them to relive that, it’s a little awkward.”

Things didn’t get a whole lot better for the Mets once the game began.

Cespedes, the Gold Glove outfielder whose shoddy fielding hurt the Mets in the Series, dropped an easy fly ball in the first inning that ultimately led to the Royals’ opening run.

Kansas City then strung together a couple of singles before Kendrys Morales popped a sacrifice fly to center

in the fourth, and Alex Gordon and Omar Infante added two-out RBI singles in the sixth.

Volquez and the Kansas City defense had things well in hand by that point.

The right-hander escaped a jam by getting Travis d’Arnaud to ground out in the second inning, then watched first baseman Eric Hosmer make a nice diving stop to escape a sticky spot in the third. All-Star catcher Salvador Perez threw out Michael Conforto trying to steal second base to end the fourth.

The biggest misstep Volquez made may have been fashion-related — he wore his spring training hat with a gold crown over the interlocking “KC” to start the game. He swapped it out for the proper one by the second inning.

“Nobody said anything!” he said, grinning again. “Not even in the bullpen.”

Mets’ Noah Syndergaard, whose inside pitch to Escobar in Game 3 was a flashpoint of the World Series, takes the mound Tuesday. Syndergaard allowed three runs in six innings in a 9-3 victory that night.

The Royals will send Chris Young to the mound Tuesday. Young started Game 4 of the World Series against New York. He also earned the win in Game 1 when he tossed three scoreless innings in a 5-4, 14-inning victory.

During the pregame festivities, Morales picked up his Silver Slugger Award, and Hosmer, Perez and Alcides Escobar got their Gold Gloves. The remaining members of last season’s team are scheduled to get their championship rings before Tuesday’s game.

day for us and Brendyn Padget had a good day in goal,” Grandon said. “As a young team, we fought through things today, and we’ll start correcting things in practice Monday.”

Newton took its home field for the first time this season in fourth game of the tournament playing Roosevelt. Newton had the wind in the first half, but could not get a goal.

“Technically and tactically, we matched them very well all over the field. We had an early opportunity to go ahead, but could not score,” Viravong said.

“They had one shot and scored.

Our keeper came off his goal line too far and their forward lobbed the ball over the top.”

Musa Lula’s goal at the 15:05 mark put the Roughriders up 1-0, which was the score at halftime. The Cardinals and Roughriders played 15 minutes of the second half without a score. Roosevelt’s Zech Khalifa kicked a goal past Bookbinder with 4:58 remaining in the game. Roosevelt won 2-0.

“In the second half, against the wind, we played even better than the first half. We moved the ball intelligently through the midfield. Again, we had several opportunities,

but couldn’t quite finish,” Viravong said. “Just like the first half, we made one tactical mistake and got punished for it.

This stuff happens all the time in soccer, when you have opportunities and don’t convert, you will always come up short.

It was a tough game to lose, especially because we played well enough to win.”

Newton had five shots on goal against Roosevelt and the Roughriders had four shots on goal. Bookbinder was credited with two saves. Newton had three corner kicks in the contest.

Newton (2-1) opens Little Hawkeye Conference play at home Tuesday against Pella Christian. The junior varsity game begins at 5:30 p.m. followed by the varsity at 7 p.m. at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

CMB (0-2) has its home opener Thursday against Ankeny Christian Academy at 5:30 p.m. at Maxwell. PCM (03) plays Thursday at Chariton and Friday hosts West Central Valley with junior varsity and varsity games at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. each night.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News There was some heady action in the soccer game between Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Benton during Saturday’s Newton High Cardinal Invitational. CMB’s Josh Bruntz (6) and Benton’s Patrick Michael (52) go up for a ball.

Soccer Continued from Page 1B second half into the wind. Senior Duncan Lee found the net with 3:18 left in the contest and Rusk got his hat trick — three goals — for the game a minute later.

Grayson Bookbinder was in goal for Newton during the first half and was credited with one save against CMB. Reagan Maple played as the Cardinal goalkeeper in the second half. Engel and Ventling each had two assists in the game while Lee and Rusk each had one goal assist.

“Because of the efficiency of the game, we were able to get everyone into the game,” Viravong said. “Again, our ability to control the game in the midfield led us to control the game’s tempo, make quality passes and finish scoring opportunities. If we can do these things consistently, we can be competitive in every match.”

Newton’s Rusk, Ventling and sophomore Zack Combs were named to the all-tournament team. CMB’s freshman Josh Bruntz and PCM’s senior Ryan Kohlhof were also named to the all-tournament team.

PCM opened the day of soccer at H.A. Lynn Stadium with an 8-0 loss to Benton.

The Mustangs with Mason Burkman in goal held the Bobcats at bay for the first 18 minutes of the game.

The Bobcats’ junior Patrick Michael took control scoring three of his six goals in a span of four minutes to put Benton up 3-0 at halftime. The Mustangs couldn’t suppress the offensive attacks by Benton, allowing five goals in the second half.

PCM turned right around and played Roosevelt in the second game. With Zac Wardhuizen in goal, the Mustangs battled with the Roughriders in a scoreless game for almost 10 minutes. Roosevelt powered in four goals over the

next 15 minutes to lead 4-0 at halftime.

The Mustangs had the wind in the second half and kept the Roughriders from scoring.

On a breakaway play, PCM freshman Nic Dredge got a shot past Roosevelt’s goalie to score the first goal of the season for the Mustangs.

“We played better as the day went on. I was very happy about our energy and fight we put into the games,” PCM head coach Darrin Telfer said.

“We had several individuals putting the team first, and that is awesome. We are looking forward to continuous improvement and an exciting season.”

CMB played Benton for its second game of the tournament and lost 5-0. Benton’s Michael headed in two goals to help the Bobcats to a 3-0 halftime lead.

The Raiders have a team of freshmen and sophomores with only one junior on the roster.
