Mingo man gets 25 years for meth sales to undercover officers

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News

Easement OK’d for pipeline under Chichaqua Trail Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News An easement to install pipeline around the Chichaqua Valley Trail was approved on Tuesday by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors. The directional boring for the pipeline will go underneath the trail with no surface area substantially effected.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News An easement to install pipeline under the Chichaqua Valley Trail near Mingo has been approved by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors.

The easement was requested near 63rd Avenue and 130th Street by Dakota Access, LLC the company constructing the 343mile crude oil pipeline segment in Iowa.

“It’s a pretty simple crossing just outside of Mingo,” conservation director Keri Van Zante said. “It will be directional boring underneath it so the surface won’t be torn up. I don’t really foresee any issue at all. There had been a lot of that done throughout the years.”

The easement will not exceed 25 feet in width on the .14 acres in the area, with the pipeline not to exceed 30 inches in diameter.

A temporary easement will not

exceed 50 feet in width for construction.

A period of 18 months will be available to Dakota Access from the start of construction to finish the work. Should Van Zante the construction finish before 18 months, the temporary construction easement will be terminated following a written statement that it is completed.

Dakota Access has the right to construct, maintain and change slopes of cuts and fills with the pipeline easement to ensure proper lateral support for drainage for the pipeline and relevant facilities related to the pipeline project.

The county agreed to provide unimpeded entry and access in to the construction area, over

Governor signs law allowing for anti-overdose drug Widely supported bill allows first responders to use anti-opioid

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Police aren’t thought of as first responders who supply a medical remedy. However, in many cases, an ambulance or EMTs aren’t yet in the area.

Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad signed Senate File 2218 and 28 other bills into law Wednesday, allowing first responders to stock and adminBranstad ister drugs called opioid antagonists for use in life-threatening opioid overdoses.

This bill had widespread support in the Legislature. It passed both the Iowa Senate 48-0 on March 8 and the Iowa House by a 93-2 margin on March 23.

All four Jasper County legislators — District 15 Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) District 28 Rep. Greg Heartsill (R-Columbia), District 29 Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton) and District 14 Sen. Amy Sinclair (R-Allerton) — voted in favor of

the measure.

Kelley said the goal of the bill is to prevent opioid overdose deaths.

“SF 2218 will allow first responders (law enforcement, EMTs, paramedics, etc) to have on hand a prescription opioid antagonist to administer if they encounter a person that they believe to be experiencing a drug overdose while doing their job,” Kelley said. “I want to do all I can to help law enforcement and other first responders keep Iowans safe.”

Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess said there are some lifesaving tools used by police, and it’s always great to have access to another form of lifesaving help.

“This is another tool that will help first responders save someone’s life,” Burdess said. “Particularly in rural areas where paramedic level care is not an option.”

Narcan became the first FDA-approved nasal spray version of naloxone hydrochloride when it was approved in November. Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can stop or reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.

the area and across the area, for all purposes necessary and at all times to complete the work.

Following the installation of the pipeline, Dakota Access agreed to restore any ground disturbed during construction and restore the surface to pre-easement condition. It will also construct and maintain soil conservation devices on the pipeline easement to prevent damage to the property from soil erosion resulting from the installation.

The county agreed that should a fence be erected on the easement, a gate will be put in place for access to the area. Dakota Access has the right to trim, cut down or eliminate any tress or shrubbery that may cause possible interference with the operation of the pipeline. They also have the right to remove or prevent the construction of any buildings, structures, reservoirs EASEMENT | 3A

Monroe rallies for teen with #jfforluke campaign Community honors teen transplant recipient

By Mike Mendenhall Prairie City News MONROE — A Monroe teen who has battled kidney disease much of his life traveled to the Mayo Clinic this week and Wednesday received a successful transplant from his mother Tracie Van Wyngarden.

Meanwhile, in Monroe, supporters of 13-year-old Luke Van Wyngarden made a bit shorter trip to a local ice cream shoppe where owner Lynn Donahue is trying to show support for his longtime family friends Luke, Tracie and Bryce Van Wyngarden, one Jersey Freeze and hashtag at a time.

dia, by asking costumers to post pictures rooting for the PCM seventh-grader.

“We’re doing this for Luke so he can see that people care about and support him,” Donahue said. “We thought it would be nice way to honor the family.”

A Mingo man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty in Jasper County District Court to selling more than 60 grams of ice methPhillips amphetamine to undercover narcotics officers in May and June 2015.

Todd W. Phillips, 35, was arrested in December by the Iowa Division of Narcotics for selling meth on three separate incidents, according to court records. The first incident occurred May 4, 2015 when he delivered 44 grams of the illegal substance for a $2,000 payment. The second incident was recorded May 18, when officers state Phillips sold the undercover agents 14.3 grams of meth at $750, and a third $2,500 meth delivery June 3.

Court documents show the Iowa Department of

Criminal Investigations tested the substance Phillips sold and it was confirmed to be meth.

Phillips was currently serving one year of probation and had a 157day suspended prison sentence stemming from a January 2015 incident where he eluded police during a traffic stop near Colfax with a 4-year-old child in the car. A child endangerment charge in that case was dropped, but Phillips served 30 days in jail for a violating probation and another seven days for OWI, second offense. Monday’s guilty plea will reinstate the previously suspended 157-day sentence.

The judge is also ordering Philips to pay a $5,000. He will be eligible for parole after onethird of his sentence is served.

A pre-trial hearing for two additional counts of failure to affix a drug tax stamp is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. May 16.

The court set a bond amount of $32,500 if Phillips decides to appeal the sentencing.

How older adults can reduce their risk of falls Metro Creative Connection Falls are one of the biggest contributors to fatal and nonfatal injuries among seniors.

Such accidents not only threaten safety but they also can compromise a person’s independence. Falls can cause broken bones, impaired mobility and even death.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says every 13 seconds an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall. In addition, every 20 minutes an older adult dies from a fall. One-third of Americans age 65 and older falls each year. Falls do not have to be an accepted side effect of aging. With some balance training and other techniques, older men and women can avoid falls and the injuries that result.

The National Council on Aging and its National Falls Prevention Resource Center have implemented fall-prevention programs. By following these guidelines, individuals can remain safe and upright.

Be aware of posture Try to maintain weight over the ankles. Do not lean too far forward or backward, which can cause you to topple over. Keep your feet in a wide stance while standing to improve stability.

Know your medication side effects Ask your doctor about the medications you are taking and whether they can contribute to dizziness or decreased balance.

Medicines that affect blood pressure can lead to light-headedness as well. Your doctor may be able to substitute a medication with an alternative if your existing prescription is affecting your balance.

Get a vision check-up A decrease in visual ability and perception can increase risk of falls. Impaired vision can cause people to trip over items they can’t see, miss steps or bump into obstacles. Make sure your vision has been checked recently and you are using contact lenses or glasses as prescribed by an eye doctor.

Dietary Courses

One-third of Americans age 65 and older falls each year.

Begin a regimen of strength training The National Institutes of Health suggests strength exercises to keep muscles strong.

Strength training also can impact the strength of bones and increase metabolism to keep weight and blood sugar in check.

Engage in specific balance exercises Balance exercises can improve stability. Balancing on one foot while standing for a period of time is one such exercise.

Stand up from a seated position without using your hands, then shift your weight from the left to the right while standing on the respective leg on that side. A physical therapist can work with you to ensure you are using correct form in balance exercises.

Try tai chi

Look for tai chi classes at a gym or senior center. Tai chi is a form of movement training that can help strengthen the body, improve balance and improve flexibility.

Don’t make quick movements Always stand up and sit down slowly. Jarring motions may affect equilibrium or blood pressure, leading to unsteadiness.

Always consult with a doctor before beginning any balance exercises or if you suspect balance issues are stemming from an illness or condition. With practice and patience, older adults can remain independent and prevent falls.

Diabetes rises fourfold to 422 million people in 2014 GENEVA (AP) — The world has seen a nearly four-fold increase in diabetes cases over the last quarter-century, driven by excessive weight, obesity, aging and population growth, the World Health Organization reported Wednesday, adding that 422 million people were affected in 2014.

In a new report on diabetes, the U.N. health agency called for stepped-up measures to reduce risk factors for diabetes and improve treatment and care. WHO said 8.5 percent of the world population had diabetes two years ago, up from 4.7 percent, or 108 million, in 1980.

“We need to rethink our daily lives:

to eat healthily, be physically active and avoid excessive weight gain,” WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan said Wednesday.

The Geneva-based agency blamed growing consumption of food and beverages high in sugar for the increase in diabetes. The disease increased around the world but affects lower- and middle-income people more often than wealthier populations.

Diabetes rates rose the most in Africa, the Middle East and Asia — with the “Eastern Mediterranean” region more than doubling its prevalence to 13.7 percent of the population, the only world re-

gion with a double-digit percentage.

Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body either does not make enough insulin to break down the sugar in foods or uses insulin inefficiently. It can cause early death or serious complications like blindness, stroke, kidney disease, amputation and heart disease.

In its report, WHO says diabetes caused 1.5 million deaths in 2012, and another 2.2 million deaths were caused by high blood sugar levels, increasing the risks of cardiovascular and other diseases.

The report does not distinguish between Type 1 diabetes, where the body cannot make enough insulin and requires

daily insulin injections for survival, and Type 2, where the body can no longer produce enough insulin to keep blood sugar at a normal level. Type 2 diabetes is more often linked to obesity and relatively sedentary lifestyles.

The increase has coincided with growing rates of obesity — in the U.S and Britain, two-thirds of people are now overweight or obese.

The report said WHO is updating its guidelines on fat and carbohydrate intake, but said adults can reduce their risk of type 2 diabetes through regular exercise and a healthy diet that cuts back on sugary foods.

Local & State News Law Continued from Page 1A Opioids are starting to show up as illegally trafficked narcotics in Jasper County and other parts of central Iowa. Opioids include prescription medications such as oxycodone, hydrocodone and morphine, as well as the illegal street version of heroin.

Allen said even though Iowa isn’t necessarily one of the frontline battleground states for opioid prevalence, it’s important to stay ahead of the problem.

“Prescription overdoses kill more Americans each year than all other drugs combined,” Allen said.

“Though Iowa ranks 45th in the nation for overdose fatalities, the number of Iowa drug deaths — a majority of which are related to prescription medications — has more than quadrupled in recent years. Between 2009 and 2014, 646 Iowans lost their lives to opioids.”

The bill also allows for licensed health care professionals to maintain a supply

of the opioid antagonist and administer it in cases of an overdose. A “person in a position to assist,” including a family member, friend, caregiver, substance abuse facility employee and others, could also administer the emergency drug,” Allen Said.

Other bills signed into law Wednesday Branstad include a school-funding increase of 2.25 percent for 2016-17 and 2017-18, a plan of procedures involving children who are victims of sex trafficking and a law that allows of guns to be carried on snowmobiles and ATVs. Rex Heisdorffer, the training and EMS officer for the Newton Fire Department said the idea of law enforcement supplying anything medicinal to a person — especially in life-or-death situations — is somewhat novel.

Communication with the medical community will determine how effective Narcan will be in the field.

“There are quite a few other states already doing this, and there hasn’t really been a great deal of concern expressed (about non-medically trained police administer-

Burdess agreed communication will be a big key in car-

What’s your perfect pup?

Trending Mike Mendenhall

I

feel confident that it’s time to move forward. It’s time to grow our family and add a special little someone to the household. It’s finally time to adopt a dog.

Betsy and I have wanted to be puppy parents since we signed the lease on our first apartment together more than three years ago, but we’ve never felt the conditions were favorable for a furry friend. We’ve had lease stipulations barring a pouch, restored hardwood floors we didn’t think would sustain the pat of four paws and schedules too busy to give a pup the attention he or

she deserves.

But recently balance has fallen into place and we’re ready to buy the collars, bowls, toys and training videos needed to give a dog a forever home — and I need your help.

We need some assistance because we love all dogs and would probably be inclined to bring each one of the ARL’s residents home with us, but we recently realized a puppy army is not feasible.

So what do you think? Here are a few pieces of information that will be important in the selection process.

• We have a small apartment where

a larger breed might act as a one-canine wrecking crew.

• We are first-time dog owners so would it be advantageous for us to get an older, pre-trained pouch or is there a breed which is easier to train than others?

• There are no kids in the household — in fact, we’re looking at this as a bit of a trial run for future kid care — so there shouldn’t be much of a restriction in this area.

• We live in a downtown apartment, so, although parks are not far away, this will have to be a dog who doesn’t mind doing its business in a smaller green space.

• Bets has a mostly “9 to 5” job but as a reporter, my schedule is all over the place. Are certain breeds more independent that others? Anyone have suggestions on more self sufficient

dogs?

One final thing: This is a bit of a surprise. I don’t know when or how I’ll execute the pouch purchase, but I’ve asked Bets to stay away from the opinion page this week because it would ruin “a future surprise.” Of course, the first thing she said when I made this request was “are you getting me a dog?” I should have learned after four years, I cannot hide anything from this woman.

If there is anything else I’m not considering when buying a dog, feel free to give me your suggestions. If you have any advice for breeds you can always find me on Twitter @mimendenhall or email me at mmendenhall@ newtondailynews.com.

Thank you for the tips and always keeping up on what’s “Trending!”

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Television I remember our first television in 1954. I was 6 years old. My older brother, who was in the Army, bought it for us. The gift that keeps on giving. He thought we needed a television for entertainment and to keep abreast of world events. Everyone else had a television, so why not us?

It was a RCA black-and-white television, because color television hadn’t been invented yet. It had rabbit ears that we could adjust for pulling in the three stations were within our range. In Prairie City, this was WHO, Channel 13; KRNT, Channel 8; and WOI, Channel 5.

The Big Three. My sister and I were only allowed to watch television after our chores were done. We might not know our spelling words for the next day, but we knew every program on the three channels, and what times they were on: “Gun Smoke,” “Wagon Train, Walt Disney,” etc. The TV Listing, which we received in the Sunday Des Moines Register, was kept in its place of honor on top of the television. It was not to be used in the cat litter box until the following week. Television was sacrosanct, inviolable, not to be abused — worshiped, if you will. And we did.

Because its vacuum tubes consumed kilowatts of electricity, we were told, the television was not to be left on when not being watched. But don’t shut it off before it had warmed up. And its channel changer was not to be turned too rapidly for fear of wearing it out.

These were the rules, like The Commandments, and my sister and I obeyed them. To not obey them might lead to television privileges being suspended, a fate worse than grounding.

I carried this television testament into adulthood.

So much so, that I soon came to believe that television was evil, a corrupting voice in a home where there were better things to do, like read, write letters, and talk to each other — almost anything other than being brain washed by corporate advertisers. As a young, single adult, I did not have a television and would not allow one in my home. This caused multiple problems with ladies I invited into my life. I was straightened out real quick.

Later, in my 30s, I still had the TV jeebies. I remember being in someone’s home early in the morning before breakfast. The television was on and not being watched. Just on. It was the morning news, subconsciously influencing one’s day — crime, corruption, buy this, buy that. I remember feeling the television being on in the morning was wrong. It was a sin.

Today, Ginnie and I have our routines, our rituals. I get up real early to read and write, while Ginnie sleeps.

I like the peace and quiet, the caffeine buzz, the God time. Around 4 or 4:30, I get Ginnie up so she can get ready for work. I fix breakfast, let Buddy out and, yes, turn on the television. Morning Joe. Ginnie and I are both political animals and get worked up over, and have strong opinions about, all the political brouhaha.

Fortunately, we agree. Invariably, Ginnie starts talking back to the television. So do I. These commentators and so-called “experts” interrupt each other, talk over each other, and generally act rude. It’s all staged, and very annoying. One person pitted against another.

“Opposing viewpoints,” they call it. I tell Ginnie it’s doing her a favor by getting her worked up. It keeps her awake for her morning commute.

After she leaves, I shut the television off. Ahhh.

Peace and quiet. It’s like the air pressure being let out of the room. A calm sets in that is quite relaxing. I can hear the clock ticking.

My morning meditation tells me to, “Be calm. Be true. Be quiet.”

Please, God. No interactive TV.

YOUR VIEW

Vote Republican, vote for life

While reading Cindy Pollard’s March 30 letter to the editor “Kelley supports women’s rights,” I was surprised to learn that I am, in her eyes, an “extremist.”

Eminent domain isn’t an issue here I read with interest the Tuesday letter titled “Kelley fights to protect landowners.” I share your sentiment that an oil pipeline going through Jasper County land, especially farmland, would be a bit of a nuisance and that Rep. Kelley’s work should not go un-

Ms. Pollard references a previous letter to editor writer, Jeff Hoebelhenrich, as an “extremist” because of his “anti-choice” views.

If being pro-life is extreme, then I too am an “extremist.” I believe those who do not cherish God given human life are the extremists. I know there are

thousands of folks who live in Jasper County that think like me.

If you agree with my “extreme” viewpoint I encourage you to vote for Republican candidates up and down the ballot this November. Let’s take our country back.

noticed.

However, Dakota Access is within their right to use the land via eminent domain. They are part of a larger, publicly traded company called Energy Transfer, which, in this case, is used as a government agency. Their website claims that the company will work with individual landowners and have promised to help restore the impacted land.

That’s why I propose that Mingo landowners and other Iowa landowners consider working closer with Dakota Access. Their needs will be taken care of as the pipeline, carrying domestic oil, is built. This pipeline will provide jobs, a larger GDP for the United States and, in turn, cheaper gas prices.

Visiting relatives could pay dearly for generous hospitality DEAR ABBY: I’m wondering how to approach a situation following a visit with some relatives.

We enjoyed a wonderful visit and they were very nice to put us up in their guest room. A few days into our stay, I woke up with strange and very itchy bites on my legs and shoulders. When I mentioned it to our host, she quickly supplied me with some itch cream and changed the subject.

After we returned home, we met a few of our relatives and they mentioned that this particular household was experiencing a bed bug problem. I was shocked and a little hurt that they didn’t mention the infestation or warn us ahead of time.

We’re in the process of making sure we didn’t bring any of these critters home, but if we must hire an exterminator or replace furniture, we will be in a bind financially. What would be the proper way to address this, and should our host feel some responsibility for what costs we may have to incur?

— ITCHY AND IRRITATED IN ILLINOIS DEAR ITCHY: That these relatives would knowingly allow you to stay in a room they knew was infested with “critters” is appalling. Could they have been too embarrassed to speak up?

If you must replace rugs, mattresses, bedding, etc., ask them to reimburse you. If they refuse, you could take them to small claims court and get a judgment IF you could prove you picked the bugs up there. But first you should let your relatives know that other family members told you about their “sin of omission.” In the future, if you plan to visit this couple again, stay elsewhere. Once bitten, twice shy.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married to “George” for 20 years.

We have a solid relationship except for one thing that drives me crazy: He insists on having his exwife cut his hair.

I have told him over and over that I really dislike it and I wish he would go elsewhere, but he refuses. Now he’s going behind my back and waiting for me to notice that he’s had a haircut. He used to at least tell me beforehand. It would take an entire column to describe her past behavior, but it’s not all that different from many exes.

I think what he’s doing is disrespectful to me. I would never continue doing something he asked me not to if it bothered him.

There are a lot of hairstylists in this town, and her haircuts aren’t that great. Am I being unreasonable? — BOTHERED IN IDAHO DEAR BOTHERED: Your husband has been doing this for 20 years and you are only writing to me about it now? Because it bothers you, the next time he goes over to get his hair cut, volunteer to go with him. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em — and maybe get a manicure in the process.

Police try to crack down on fake $100 bills WATERLOO — Waterloo police are having a hard time cracking down on the use of fake $100 bills meant to be props for movies and music videos at local stores.

There have been about a dozen cases in which the fake bills have been used in transactions over the past few months in Waterloo. At least one person has been arrested in connection with the fake money.

These fake bills are marked “for motion picture use only,” so they’re legitimate to sell and process as props.

Iowa lawmakers release budget targets, though details vague The Associated Press DES MOINES — Leaders in the split Iowa Legislature on Wednesday announced a compromise on spending targets for the next state budget, though details remain vague on the real financial impact of the deal.

Lawmakers in the Democratic-controlled Senate and Republican-majority House released joint budget targets that propose the state spend about $7.34 billion in the fis-

cal year that begins in July.

That is slightly below an earlier estimate, but House leaders say it provides cushion for unexpected costs.

Upmeyer The key new information was a set of overall spending targets that will allow legislative subcommittees to begin work on bills that will

ultimately make up the state budget. Those teams will be tasked with ironing out the details.

“We’ll work it out,” said House Speaker Linda Upmeyer, R-Clear Lake, referring to her party and Democrats.

“We’ll probably get our way in funding some of the things, and they’ll probably get theirs in others.”

Both parties agreed earlier this session that the state had about $176 million in new dollars to spend, following

updated revenue estimates from a panel of budget experts. The chambers agreed to spend the bulk of that new money on K-12 education.

That left limited new dollars for the rest of state government, and the target numbers propose only slightly higher spending for areas such as higher education and the judicial system. There’s no available information on how that would be split among the different groups within those large departments seeking a

piece of the budget pie.

Senate Democrats, who scaled back earlier proposed targets, did not make themselves available for comment after the numbers were released. They did offer a statement by Sen. Bob Dvorsky, D-Coralville and chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

“Once again, we have attempted to find common ground rather than send state government into gridlock,” he said.

New Iowa law allows loaded Senate OKs domestic violence firearms on snowmobiles, ATVs penalties bill DES MOINES — The Iowa Senate has passed legislation that would increase penalties for repeat domestic abusers.

The Democratic-controlled Senate voted unanimously 50-0 Wednesday in support of the bill, which would create a mandatory minimum punishment for stalking, harassment and repeat domestic violence. It would also allow a judge to set a higher mandatory minimum sentence.

The bill received overwhelming support in the Republican-majority House in March.

Supporters say the legislation would better protect domestic violence victims. The Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Violence initially opposed the bill amid concern over the value of longer sentences.

The group said Wednesday it now supports the bill because of several other elements in the measure.

Changes to the bill mean it will return to the House before it can reach Gov. Terry Branstad’s desk.

Lotto insider’s brother arrested in jackpot-fixing scandal IOWA CITY (AP) — New digital evidence reveals how a lottery insider manipulated drawings to enrich himself and his associates, Iowa investigators said Wednesday as they charged his brother with securing jackpots in Oklahoma and Colorado worth $1.2 million cash.

Tommy Tipton, a former justice of the peace and reserve police officer in Texas, turned himself in Wednesday to face a charge of ongoing criminal conduct.

Authorities allege he conspired with his older brother, Eddie Tipton, the former security director of the Multi-State Lottery Association who was convicted last year of fixing a $16.5 million Hot Lotto jackpot.

He’s also awaiting trial on charges linking him to lottery prizes in several other states.

The jackpot-fixing allegations have rocked the Multi-State Lottery Association, an Iowa-based nonprofit that administers Powerball and other games for dozens of states.

Prosecutors have alleged Tipton tampered with random number generators that he built and installed for use by state lotteries. But their case had been based on circumstantial evidence because the computers he worked on at the association had been erased or destroyed, and Tipton’s defense repeatedly cited the lack of evidence as a reason why charges should be dismissed.

But in what investigators called a significant break, court documents filed Wednesday show Wisconsin authorities were able to recover the random number generator used for a $2 million jackpot Megabucks jackpot paid out to Tipton’s best friend in 2008.

DES MOINES — A new law will allow drivers or passengers in snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles to carry loaded firearms.

Gov. Terry Branstad signed the legislation into law Wednesday.

The law will allow people to car-

ry a loaded firearm whether it’s concealed or not, though there are separate rules for gun owners who are on their private land and those who are not on such property.

A gun owner on his or her own land will not be required to keep

their gun permit on them at all times. They will also not be required to keep a firearm on a retention holster.

Gun owners will still not be allowed to shoot a weapon from the moving vehicles.

Newton Trap Team aims for strong season

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Numbers are up for the 2016 Newton Trap Team, a spring club sport for high school boys and girls from Newton. The Cardinals have 24 on their roster with 13 returning shooters and 11 new club members.

The team competes mainly in trap shoots, but has six skeet and sporting clays shoots on its 2016 schedule.

“We spend the majority of our time working on trap shooting,” Newton head coach Paul Klein said. “I think we have some returning shooters who have the potential to post some high scores this season. The team members shoot pretty good in skeet and sport clays, but we don’t have the resources to practice these events enough to get good at it.”

Team members began practicing at Izaak Walton League on March 5. They will have a month of practices under their belts when they begin their season Friday. The first meet is a skeet shooting meet at Big Springs.

Saturday, the team goes to Knoxville for its first trap shooting competition. Newton has 15 competitions scheduled this season. It will host two trap shoots this year — April 23 and May 7 — at the Jasper County Gun Club.

Returning for the Newton Trap Team are seniors Matt Bleakney, Colton Kingery, Connor McAdoo and Bryce Romick, juniors Allison Winchell, Logan Zaabel, Evan Cook, Dawson Cobler and Brian Bleakney and sophomores Trevor Annee, Nathan Tremel and Clay Trotter.

New team members are junior Cheyenne Schaeffer, sophomores Laura Townsend and Stuart Cook and fresh-

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Matt Bleakney has been a steady competitor for the Newton Trap Team and is back for his senior season.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Junior Allison Winchell was the lone girl on the Newton Trap Team a year ago. In 2016, there are five girls on the team.

men Joshua Akison, Brooke Gifford, Devon Hobbs, Adam Maharry, Nathan Miller, Dallas Schaeffer, Allison Ulrey and Devon Young.

Klein said teams compete with a five-man squad, which can be made up of boys and girls. Klein said students competing in the sport of clay target shooting still have to meet

academic requirements to be eligible.

At meets, awards are usually presented to the top three squads and individual awards to the top three male and top three female shooters in the meet.

Newton took squad awards for second and third place in trap competitions last year.

The Cardinals had one

first-place individual award, two second-place awards and one third-place award for male shooters. Winchell, who was the only female shooter on last year’s team, placed third in a meet.

Newton did not win any awards in the skeet shooting competitions in 2015.

Newton had 10 members compete in the 2015 Iowa state trap meet, taking 44th out of 98 teams with a score of 858 out of a possible 1,000 targets. Matt Bleakney posted the team’s highest score, breaking 180 out of 200 targets, for 98th out of 455 competitors.

Five team members compete at the state skeet championship and state sporting slays championship shoots.

Romick was Newton’s high scorer in the skeet championships with a 77 out of a possible 100, which put him in 47th place out of 71 participants. McAdoo had the high score in sporting clays with a 99 out of a possible 150, placing him in 47th place out of 81 participants.

Newton’s high school trap team is not a sanctioned sport by the two state activities associations in Iowa. The team is funded by donations, fund-

raising activities and by the athletes themselves.

Klein pointed out that each student pays for their own ammunition. The club provides clay pigeons to shoot during practices.

Newton’s team was established in 2007 with three student athletes competing.

Since then, the Newton Trap Club has allowed NHS students with interest in competitive trap shooting to compete in the Iowa High School Clay target Association (IHSCTA) and the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP).

Klein is in his fifth year as head coach of the team.

Al Kenninger, who was the program’s first head coach, is assistant coach. Joel Provin is a volunteer helping with the team.

First-year shooters are classified as junior varsity.

Shooters are required to have competed in at least four trap league events to qualify to go to the state trap competition.

Trap team members are required to have completed a hunter safety course.

Newton’s Winther, Gholson claim golds in long jump events

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News TAMA — Field events were big for Newton High’s boys in Tuesday’s South Tama STC Early Bird Invitational track meet. Relays boosted the NHS girls as both Cardinal teams claimed second place in their varsity divisions.

South Tama’s Trojan boys rolled up 206 points to Newton’s 157. GMG was third with 118 followed by Columbus Catholic with 38. The South Tama girls amassed 235 points to win as Newton had 181 points followed by GMG at 131 and Columbus Catholic at 27.

Actually, the Cardinal teams both scored team points in the field events and relays. Newton combined to win six relays at the meet and four field events. The Cardinal boys had one in-

Things are starting to come together A couple weeks ago, my family and I were unsure of what was to come of our future.

Our home in Des Moines was on the market, my wife was sort of in limbo with her job as an educator, and we were still unsure of where our future home in Jasper County would be.

Most of those worries are gone now.

Last weekend, we accepted an offer for our of current home and that process has gone through the inspection and appraisal phases. We close on May 20.

This past weekend, we made our final walk-through in a handful of houses we were interested in in Newton and made an offer on one of them Sunday night.

On Monday, an offer was accepted

dividual champion on the track.

Jumping into the sand pits on a cold, windy day, Newton won the boys’ and girls’ long jump events. Juniors Kenna Winther and Connor Gholson captured the gold medals. Gholson won Gholson by more than a foot, jumping 20 feet, 2 3/4 inches with teammate Jack Callaghan, a sophomore finishing fifth at 18-3 3/4.

Winther had a winning leap of 15-8 1/4 ­— almost eight inches further than the second place finisher in the girls’ long jump. Freshman Lakin Jenkins was fourth with a distance of 13-5 1/4.

The Cardinal boys finished 1-2 in the shot put and the discus events.

This & That Troy Hyde and we are set to have that inspection Friday.

The whole process is stressful. I typically don’t get too stressed about life. I always feel like it will work out. I mostly had that same feeling this time around, but when the process involves a wife and a 3-year-old daughter, I couldn’t help but be a little stressed.

Our new home, if all goes well from now until May 20, will be over near Berg Middle School and the high school softball field.

I can’t wait to shoot baskets with my daughter in the driveway.

It will be fun to finally have a “man cave” I can be proud of.

And grilling out on the patio and enjoying nights by the fire pit at our new place will be enjoyable.

We want Newton to be part of our

Sophomores Landon Hansen and Jace Lukefahr were atop the shot put competition as Hansen won on a throw of 45-9 and Lukefahr took second at 42-5.

In the discus, it was freshman Jaise Gulling grabbing first place with a toss of 110-8 and Lukefahr in second at 106-8. Only two competitors per team could score varsity points, but Newton had four more throwers in the top seven of the shot put and three more in the discus event’s top 10.

Newton’s girls posted a second-place finish in the discus ring by sophomore Haley Revell at 99-8. Sophomore Ali Bestell was fourth at 91-0 in the discus. Revell placed fourth in the shot put at 31-8 1/4 and Bestell was fifth at 30-2.

In the high jump for the Cardinal girls, sophomore Hannah Boecker and freshman Abbie Barr both cleared the

bar at 4-4. Boecker was awarded second and Barr was third on a tiebreaker.

Sophomore Matthew Karsten ripped off a winning time of 11.88 seconds in the 100-meter dash for the Cardinal boys. Freshman Josh Miller took fourth in 12.92.

Karsten combined with sophomores Josh Miravalles, Jaron Roush and Clayton Baltisberger to win the 4x100 relay in 46.48 seconds. Newton’s 1,600-meter sprint medley relay team of Baltisberger, Karsten, junior Brennen Dodd and Callaghan claimed gold with a time of 4:00.71.

The Newton girls’ 800-meter sprint medley relay team of seniors Fran Lucas and Alex Hutchinson, freshman Rachel Rhoads and sophomore Tessa Keeton posted a winning time

family’s memories, both good and bad.

We can’t wait to take walks around Agnes Patterson Park’s trail, and let our daughter play on the playground.

My drive to work in my last two places of employment — Newton and Marshalltown — has been at least 35 minutes. So the less-than-five-minute drive to the office is something I am looking forward to.

My drives to athletic events at Prairie City-Monroe, Colfax-Mingo, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Lynnville-Sully will now be no more than 20 minutes. That will be refreshing.

I met a lot of cool people and made some great friends when I was in Newton the first time. I am looking forward to having those friendships again.

I grew up in a small town in Central Iowa. So living in Newton will seem more like home. However, I will miss a lot of things about Des Moines.

I love jogging at Grey’s Lake Park.

It’s one of my favorite places to go to just get away and take a few laps

around the two-mile course.

Target. My family goes to Target about once a week. We love that place. It’s probably one of two things — Wendy’s being the other one — that Newton doesn’t have that we would love to get and will miss from living in Des Moines.

I will miss living close to Wells Fargo Arena and having short drives for state wrestling and state basketball.

We live even closer to Drake Stadium so those short trips to the Drake Relays and state track meets will be missed.

Those drives were easy, but the new short drives I will make way more often will be a better situation.

We will have to drive further now to see family and to attend Iowa Cubs and Iowa Wild games, but we’ll deal with that.

The plan for us is to be in Newton a long time. I can’t predict the future.

Plans can change. I hope they don’t.

We want to be here for a long time.

Nicasio helps Pirates beat Cardinals for three-game sweep PITTSBURGH (AP) — Juan Nicasio pitched six dominant innings in his Pittsburgh debut and Francisco Cevelli hit a two-run double as the Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 Wednesday night to sweep an opening three-game series between the teams with the best regular-season records in the major leagues last year.

Nicasio gave up one run and two hits while striking out seven and walking none. Signed to a $3 million, one-year contract

as a free agent in the offseason, Nicasio pitched 15 scoreless innings during spring training with 24 strikeouts.

Cervelli’s two-run double capped a three-run fourth inning that pushed the Pirates’ lead to 4-0 and ended the Cardinals debut of Mike Leake (01), who signed an $80 million, five-year contract.

Leake allowed four runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Mark Melancon retired the only batter he faced for his

first save, getting Kolten Wong to hit into a forceout with runners on first and second.

Andrew McCutchen and Starling Marte had two hits each for the Pirates (3-0).

Orioles 4, Twins 2 BALTIMORE (AP) — Chris Davis hasn’t wasted any time in providing the Baltimore Orioles a positive return on their $161 million investment.

Davis homered to back an effective pitching performance

In the girls’ 200-meter dash, Sydney Jenkins turned in a second-place time of 28.46 and senior Elise Axtel was sixth in 32.16 seconds. Lakin Jenkins was fourth in the 400 in 1:14.56 and Hurt placed sixth in 1:18.49. Sophomore Randi Walters was fifth in the 100 meters in 15.38 seconds.

For the Newton boys, Dodd and Callaghan ran second and third in the 400 meters in 55.00 and 55.11 seconds, respectively. Dodd was fourth in the 200 in 25.02 and Baltisberger took fifth in 25.28 seconds.

Junior Noah Sander posted

The Newton girls competed without the services of senior Grace Coen, who is the school record holder in all three distance races. Tomas said Coen is “taking it easy” recovering from a minor injury.

Newton’s teams had a host of junior varsity competitors in the meet getting quality experience against varsity athletes in field events and on the track.

The Cardinal teams head to the Oskaloosa Relays Saturday.

Competition begins at 9:30 a.m. in Oskaloosa.

Continued from Page 1B of 2:08.50. Hutchinson combined with senior Sydney Jenkins and sophomores Liz McVey and Alexis Stout to win the 4x200 relay race in 1:56.76.

Sydney Jenkins, Rhoads, Barr and Stout ran a combined 4:40.66 to win the 4x400 relay race. In the shuttle hurdle relay, the Cardinal girls’ team of Fran Lucas, sophomore Morgann Eide, McVey and Stout edged out GMG by a second, winning in 1:13.75.

Newton’s 4x100 girls’ relay team of Sydney Jenkins, Hutchinson, McVey and Eide was second in 54.56 seconds. Running second in the girls’ distance medley relay race in 4:47.24 was Newton’s junior Morgan Allen, Winther, Barr and Rhoads.

“The girls did an outstanding job competing despite the unpleasant weather conditions,” Newton girls’ head coach Rachel Tomas said.

“They fought for placings as we had several first and second place finishes. I look forward to seeing our improvements as the season progresses.”

Former Iowa hoops star Murray Wier dies at 89 IOWA CITY (AP) — Murray Wier, the first Iowa basketball player to be named a first-team All-American, died Wednesday in Georgetown, Texas. He was 89.

The Ramsey Funeral Home, which confirmed Wier’s passing, says the cause of death is not yet known.

Wier, who grew up in Grand-

view, Iowa, was a four-year starter for Iowa from 194548. Wier averaged 21 points a game as a senior, becoming the first officially recognized single-season scoring champion in NCAA history, according to the Hawkeyes.

Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says Wier was “one of the alltime greats” of Iowa basketball.

Astrograph

Interacting with loved ones during this hotheaded new Aries moon could cause some stress, even if the topic of communication is innocuous. There’s tension that needs to be defused, and it’s always the ones on the inside who get this special job.

To help a loved one let off steam is actually a privilege that most will find extremely worthwhile.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 7). You’ll make a special and expert contribution in May and soon after you’ll be appreciated, thanked, celebrated and paid for it. Someone new will love you for who you are, all the while inspiring you to blossom in new ways. July shows you freer to

express yourself, and you’ll find the perfect public forum, too.

Capricorn and Gemini adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 5, 20, 17, 22 and 38.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The idea comes to you, but it’s not yours. It’s a fickle entity, and it will go wherever it’s most likely to be realized. You’ll get first choice though; if you think this is worth following through on, make your move now, before it’s too late.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your life is a bit like an abstract painting or a song today in that it’s a work of art you really needn’t explain. People will

4.) Log in or create an account to CitySpark 5.) Follow the instructions to get your event posted

It’s that simple! wonder. Let them come up with their own interpretations. It will be more interesting that way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

There are plenty of things on your wish list these days, including bigger reserves of patience, especially where the opposite sex is concerned. You may even move that to the top of the list.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

There’s quite a lot of work that goes into making your home a beautiful place that runs smoothly -- work you gladly do, especially since your domestic life is such a huge source of pride for you these days.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Today you will give with a heart that’s as big as the wide, open sky.

Your beneficiary will be liberated by the gift and will feel free enough to fly through the expanse of it, ever closer to the sun.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Some use tardiness as an attention-getting tool. They equate being late with being special. Since you need your life to run on schedule, give those chronically late people an earlier version of the expected arrival time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Have faith. Show up to work day after day after day like the sun showing up to the ground. One day, what’s planted inside will stretch out and blossom before your eyes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Powerful people weren’t always

so -- and, in fact, they aren’t always powerful now, either.

Everyone is vulnerable in some way. You’ll see this today, and your compassion in this regard will be applied to good effect.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The fake thing you’re worried about will loom large in your mind until you challenge it, asking point blank: “What is the real thing I’m worried about?” The real thing is very easily handled once you know what it is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

The main stress will be brief and followed by a happy moment, borne of a very simple question you ask yourself. “What can I do?” You’ll come up with many answers, and then you’ll act on

the best one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

People need you as much as you need them. This balance will make for an extremely productive day of cooperation and group effort. With deep appreciation, you’ll accept the ample support you’re offered.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It’s not time to ask for help yet.

You’re not ready for people to take notice of your idea. You’re still working on it, and you’d prefer to do that under the radar.

Once loved ones give you the space you need, you’ll be in heaven.
