While the warm weather hasn’t completely made its home in town, it’s coming with the tourist season just kicking off. The Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Linda Bacon is wanting community members to send her their events to promote.

“April to mid October is the traditional tourism season for Newton because we don’t have the cold weather,” Bacon said.

April may be the kickoff to the tourist season, but Bacon has found many events outside of the traditional tourist season draws people to Newton.

“We do have the 5K runs and other winter tourism events, which we want to promote as well because those events bring people to town,” Bacon said.

May is the National Tourism Month, which is when many Newton events are up and running for the tourist season.

“This is always an exciting kick off to the season,” Bacon said. “May kicks off many traditional events for Newton including the first Iowa Speedway race, Richardson 5K and Thunder Nites.”

The CVB promotional service helps event coordinators in Newton get their events online and over the airwaves.

“We just want to make sure that people have the best promotions they can get,” Bacon said. “We have events on our billboard in the visitors center.

We will post all events to our website calendar at www.visitnewton.com. I will pull things from the calendar on a weekly basis for the two radio shows, one is Wednesday mornings on KCOB in Newton and the second is on Thursday mornings out of Marshalltown on KFJB.” Newton CVB was one of the major stake holders in “Get To Know Newton” branding to help tourist and community members get to know Newton.

Newton to host Operation ReLeaf event Alliant Energy customers invited to purchase trees for $25 Special to the Daily News A popular program offering landscape quality trees at a deep discount to Alliant Energy customers will be held at Woodland Park, at the intersection of North 19th Avenue West and West First Street North, in Newton, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. April 24.

Alliant Energy’s Operation ReLeaf is a program to help Alliant Energy customers save energy in their homes using trees to provide shade during the summer and create wind breaks during the winter. For maximum energy efficiency, shade trees should be planted within 30 feet of the east and west and evergreens should be planted as a windbreak on the north and west of the home.

Through the program, Alliant Energy residential customers may purchase high quality landscaping trees for $25 each. These trees typically retail for between $65 and $125.

Advanced order is highly recommended and advance purchase is limited to two trees per household. In the event there are extra trees available on distribution day, those trees will be released for purchase at that time. Order forms are available online at www. alliantenergy.com/releaf.

“Planting a diverse mix of

trees on your property and in your neighborhood will reduce the likelihood of losing a large number of trees to forest health threats,” said Paul Tauke, state forester and chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Forestry Bureau.

Tauke said they are encouraging homeowners who do not intend to treat for emerald ash borer to plant a replacement tree within 30 feet of the existing ash tree.

Foresters have been working with local partners to create community tree inventories that will guide future tree planting efforts to keep a healthy mix of tree species.

The most recent tree survey for Jasper County communities finds 42 percent of the trees are maple, followed by ash at 9.5 percent and crabapple at 6 percent. The DNR has a target for communities that no more than 10 percent of the trees are from any one species, and no more than 20 percent is from one genus.

Trees available at each distribution event are determined by the local tree species inventory. For Newton, species available include katsuratree, chinkapin oak, hackberry, scarlet oak, Kentucky coffeetree, American linden American sentry, serviceberry autumn brilliance, American hornbeam and edible apple freedom.

Shade trees are 5 to 8 feet tall in 5 to 7 gallon containers and conifers are 3 to 5 feet tall.

“All trees are purchased through

Woman complains about marijuana LUFKIN, Texas (AP) — Police in East Texas have arrested a woman after she called them to complain about the quality of the marijuana she had purchased from a dealer.

Lufkin police Sgt. David Casper said Monday that an officer went to the home of 37-year-old Evelyn Hamilton to hear her complaint that the dealer refused to return her money after she objected that the drug was substandard.

Casper says she pulled the small amount of marijuana from her bra when the officer asked if she still had it.

She was arrested Friday on a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Hamilton says she called police when she got no satisfaction from the dealer’s family.

a bidding process to promote local nurseries,” said Tauke. “This is a great way for homeowners to get a quality tree at an affordable price.”

A workshop lead by state urban forester Emma Hanigan will discuss ways to avoid common mistakes that often result in dead trees will be held at 5:45 p.m. during this tree distribution.

The 30 minute workshop will cover root flare and proper planting depth, correcting encircling roots, proper mulching and watering, correcting pruning to reduce future storm damage, planting around buildings for energy efficiency and emerald ash borer.

Just a few of the advantages of yard trees are: • Decrease in household heating and cooling costsIncrease in property values • Decrease in storm water runoff, which may reduce flooding events Beauty and personal enjoyment Studies have found that by having tree lined streets more people spend time outside which can improve activity and lower their body mass index, especially in kids. Studies also link trees to reduced asthma rates.

Operation ReLeaf, is funded

by Alliant Energy and administered by the Iowa DNR Forestry Bureau with assistance from local partners, like the City of Newton.

Operation ReLeaf participants must be Alliant Energy residential customers.

Students work to replace trees CEDAR FALLS (AP) — A group of University of Northern Iowa students is helping bring thousands of free saplings to Cedar Falls to help the city replace trees lost to disease or flooding.

The group, UNI Hardwoods, recently transported 6,500 oak tree saplings from a nursery in East Moline, Ill., the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported. More than 100 student volunteers will plant some of them on April 12.

“The timing is just really perfect,” said Mark Ripplinger, the city’s director of human and leisure services.

The saplings will replace trees infected by the emerald ash borer, an insect that gradually destroys ash trees. In Cedar Falls, about 2,000 trees will be uprooted because of the insect.

The saplings will also replace

trees destroyed by historic flooding in 2008.

Grant funding in the past has covered the annual expense of removing and replacing about 100 trees. But city officials say that funding has dwindled.

“Up until the emerald ash borer arrived, we were able to take care of replacements through those grants,” Ripplinger said.

The saplings will mature for six to eight years before they’re either moved or kept in place to reforest the area.

Living Lands and Waters, a conservation group, donated the saplings to UNI Hardwoods. A nursery in St. Louis produced the oak saplings.

“We have a mission to restore and preserve our nation’s watersheds,” said Ashley Stover, a project coordinator for Living Lands and Waters.

Letter to the Editor

Joe Heller Cartoon

Tree care professional: Be careful when treating EAB To the editor: I was surprised to learn the Emerald Ash Borer was discovered in Newton in late March.

I didn’t expect to hear that news for a couple more years. I’ve had several conversations with individuals in the last week about the EAB and thought I should write a letter since most individuals think it automatically means their ash tree(s) will die.

There are basically two courses of action when dealing with the EAB. First, you can effectively treat ash trees for EAB, and a reputable firm licensed and certified applicator by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.

This requires a periodic annual or two year treatment for the trees. These treatments must be continued for several years long after the infestation has passed. If you don’t treat the tree, there is only a stroke of luck it may survive.

Untreated trees in areas with EAB infestations will eventually die. The second course of action is to wait for the tree to perish and then be removed.

The City of Newton will have to decide about trees in their rights-of-way and on city property. This is to protect the public body from liability to persons or vehicles parked along the street.

Likewise, the county will have to take action on trees on county property, i.e. county parks, for the same reason. Will they wait until trees show signs of failure or, will they be removing trees before they show signs of stress in their tree removal program?

Some of the questions we are fielding are from individuals who are willing to pay for the treatment of trees, but fear the city will preemptively remove the trees.

The City Council will be meeting soon to discuss this matter. Hopefully, they will soon have an established policy regarding treated trees being spared from the preemptive tree removal program.

My recommendation to the council will be that that noninvaded trees on city property be treated by a licensed commercial applicator and registered with the city.

I recently had a conversation with State Sen. Dennis Black, who has a graduate degree in Forest Management and has been following the EAB issue closely.

His comment was, “If a tree is imperative to retain, due to its size, history, beauty or locaion, then an EAB inoculation treatment ‘may’ be a good investment. However, this is only viable by injection directly into the phloem and xylem in the cambium at the base of the tree, and under no circumstances should anyone be ‘sold the goods’ on drenching the roots or topical spray to the main trunk, which only serves to expose pets and humans and the environment with potentially harmful chemical.”

Senator Black and I are both concerned with the possibility of some homeowners overly applying any product that gets poured around the base of the tree trunk. Researchers fail to know the long-term effects this will cause on environment.

If you have any concerns please contact a professional company in the tree industry or me at (641) 236-5578.

The Scoop

Tax Day turns 100 Taxpayers are familiar with the annual drill. Keeping records, gathering receipts, filling out forms, figuring out changes in tax rules. Right around this time, taxpayers are ready to see April 15 disappear into the rearview mirror.

The IRS estimates it takes average taxpay- By Chuck Grassley ers 13 hours to United States Senator comply with the federal tax code. Americans annually spend more than $168 billion and collectively clock in 6 billion hours to settle up their tab with Uncle Sam, according to the 2012 annual report by the National Taxpayer Advocate.

This year, Tax Day turns 100.

Congress assigned an annual Tax Day after the 16th amendment was ratified on Feb. 3, 1913. Nine months later, the Revenue Act of 1913 established a one percent bottom marginal rate on income graduating to a top marginal rate of seven percent. Something tells me taxpayers today wish their federal tax tab was calculated by those brackets instead of the seven marginal rates under current law, ranging from 10 percent to 39.6 percent of adjusted gross income.

Today, the tax code is too complicated and a drag on economic growth.

As tax filing season winds down, it’s a safe bet that few taxpayers have dug into the details of the president’s fiscal year 2015 budget proposal. That must be what the White House was banking on when it proposed jacking up tax revenue by $1.3 trillion over the next decade.

Taxpayers already pay enough to shoulder the costs of the government.

In fact, the Affordable Care Act will raise taxes more than $700 billion over the next decade. From a dollars and

cents perspective, a persistent Potomac paradox makes no common sense. No matter how much money flows out of taxpayers’ pockets into the federal treasury, it’s never enough for big spenders. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported federal 2013 tax receipts reached an all-time high $2.7 trillion. Uncle Sam spent $3.45 trillion, creating a $680 billion deficit. And still, the President wants the taxpaying public to pay more instead of asking Washington to spend less.

Let’s get things straight. Washington didn’t rack up a $17 trillion national debt because Washington taxes too little; it’s because Washington spends too much. According to the CBO, the percentage of debt held by the public is now about 73 percent of the nation’s economic output.

The deeper Uncle Sam dips into taxpayers’ pockets, the harder it is for America’s start-ups, entrepreneurs and businesses to grow, hire, invest, innovate, raise wages and increase productivity. The bigger-is-better government approach guts the bedrock principle of limited government from which America was founded upon, including individual liberty, free enterprise and property rights.

The federal tax collection agency is riddled with problems of its own.

The IRS is challenged to restore credibility for targeting taxpayers based on their political views and for wasting tens of millions of tax dollars on lavish conferences. On top of that, it’s been handed an expansive new role to enforce 45 new provisions of the Affordable Care Act, including verifying eligibility for insurer subsidies.

What’s more, the IRS struggles to narrow the $385 billion tax gap, uphold basic services to taxpayers and update its IT systems. The IRS’ perennial plea for more funding doesn’t square with the taxpaying public, especially when the agency fails to an-

swer 61 percent of taxpayer phone calls seeking assistance and yet has room in its budget for generous employee bonuses.

At the turn of the 20th century, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. said, “taxes are what we pay for a civilized society.” Taxes do fund the basic, necessary functions of government, like national security, but big spenders like to use this statement as a license to lift the lid on taxes and spending. However, in the century since Justice Holmes made that observation, the growth of entitlements, the size of the national debt and the scope of government programs have shifted an unsustainable tax burden to future generations.

Between 1930 and 2013, federal government receipts increased from 4.1 percent of the economy’s output to 16.7 percent, and federal expenditures rose from 3.4 percent of economic output to about 21 percent, according to historical data released by the Office of Management and Budget.

The Congressional Budget Office expects revenue to reach 19 percent of the Gross Domestic Product by 2018.

Current receipts are relatively low because of the economy.

Through regulation of private enterprise, burdensome levels of taxation and intrusive transfers of wealth that benefits some at the expense of others, it’s clear that big spenders define a civilized society as the bigger the government, the better.

Tax Day 2014 reminds us of that Potomac tax-and-spend paradox.

Nearly two decades into the 21st century, policymakers must work together for the public good and take a civilized approach to taxation and regulation.

Bloated bureaucracies, unsustainable entitlement spending and regulatory overkill are taking us down a dangerous road.

And taxpayers know that leads to trouble with a capital T.

The second ordinance will amend the addition of stop signs at various intersections.

The city staff has estimated 44 uncontrolled intersections involving collector and arterial streets throughout Newton.

The Traffic and Safety Committee recommended adding stop signs at all side-street intersections involving collector and arterial streets.

This will make these intersections uniform throughout the city, meeting design standards and make the intersections safer for the public.

The council passed all six resolutions on the agenda for the meeting on Monday unanimously.

The first authorized the purchase of a front-end loader for Public Work operations. The existing 1996 front-end loader has more than 11,000 engine hours and is in need of replacement.

The purchase of a frontend loader was approved for $175,000 through the 201415 budget with funds coming from the Road Use Tax.

“The front-end loader is used for many projects for Public Works Department all year long,” Laube said.

Scott Van Keppel Co. of Ankeny was the successful bidder of a Volvo L70F loader for $180,765. Staff will place the existing loader on an online auction through Public Surplus with a reserve amount equal to the offer from Scott Van Keppel dealership of $20,000, which will give the best sale price to the city.

The council accepted the completion of the Prison Force Main Extension Project. At the May 6, 2013, council meeting, a resolution awarding a contract to SL Baumeier Co. LLC of Gladbrook in the amount of $103,860 was approved.

SL Baumeier has completed the project and has issued a “Engineer’s Statement of Completion.” The council also authorized the retainage amount of $1,981.10 to be paid to the contractor.

The council awarded the 2014 Taxiway Lighting Improvements at the Newton Municipal Airport to KW Electric of Cedar Falls, Iowa with the low bid of $14,310.

CVB Continued from Page 1A “I’m collaborating with Natalie Umsted at the city with the “Get To Know Newton”, so that is the whole purpose we want people to get to know Newton,” Bacon said. “We want our community members to know what is going on as well as visitors outside of Newton, but unless we’re aware of and are informed on what those events are it’s hard for us to know what is going on. We want people to send us the information, so we can do the best we can to get their information out to the community.”

Bacon and the CVB use regional media to help to promote major Newton events.

“For bigger events we will put thing in the Des Moines Register’s Juice Calendar of Events,” Bacon said. “We have done that already with the sculpture festival and Thunder Nites. Our biggest criteria for that is if it would bring in overnight guest. I would encourage people, if they’re going to send us information it’s really easy for them to go online and post events themselves.”

Bacon being a Newton resident and community member has had the chance to experience many Newton events.

She is anticipating some of the traditional events and is looking forward for some of the event changes throughout the tourist season.

“I’m excited about the race season to see how it’s going to turn out with the Indy Car race getting moved to July, which has typically been in June,” Bacon said.

“It’s going to be especially interesting with it being in conjunction with the truck race, so I am just excited to see how those will turn out.”

“The Newton Kart Club starts in April and we’ve got all their races already on our website calendar,” Bacon continues. “You’d be amazed with how many races

they host, it’s almost every week.”

“The Fourth of July Celebration is always big in Newton,” Bacon continues. “The Parks and Recreation Department is doing a great job with bringing more to happen around the fireworks. Along with the many other events that our held in Newton.”

“I’m personally excited about the Miss Iowa Pageant, which were a sponsor of and has became a big event for the community,” Bacon said.”

June 17, the CVB, in partnership with Hawkeye Stages and KCOB, will host a community motor coach tour.

“We’re excited about that because it will be for the Newton community people to be on the motor coach,” Bacon said. “It’s going to be exactly like when people see motor coaches driving around town with people on a tour finding out what do they get to see. We want to educate our community members, so they can go out to be good advocates and ambassadors for Newton.”

Daughter has no obligation to explain mother’s suicide DEAR ABBY: My mother committed suicide when I was a child. She was severely depressed, and although she sought professional help, the worst happened.

When conversing with acquaintances, the subject often turns to family, and I will say that my mother “passed away” when I was young. Most of the time they proceed to ask me how she died.

Abby, this is a personal family matter.

I do not wish to reveal what really happened. I usually reply that she was very ill, but some nosy people persist in pressing for more information. How should I respond without being rude? — LOYAL OHIO READER DEAR READER: You’re under no obligation to reveal personal information that makes you uncomfortable. Simply say, “That’s a very personal question, and I’d rather not discuss it.” Then change the subject.

DEAR ABBY: Since when has it been considered OK for women to be in men’s dressing rooms in department stores? I have seen a lot of this during the last year.

I’m not a prude, and I understand that most men change in private booths, shielded from view of strangers. Still, I am disturbed when I come out of the smaller booth and find women hanging around in the dressing room.

In many cases, I have heard women actually IN the booths with men who are getting dressed, giggling — or, even more annoying, shouting out orders about sizes, styles, etc. Men are not allowed in women’s dressing rooms.

When I have expressed my concern to salesclerks, they look at me like I’m crazy.

Am I the only one who thinks women do not belong in men’s dressing rooms? — CIVILIZED SHOPPER DEAR SHOPPER: I don’t know how long it has been between shopping trips for you, but your thinking is outdated. Today some stores have unisex dressing rooms, and men’s and women’s departments employ both male and female sales associates. It is not unusual for couples to shop together — and if some-

thing doesn’t fit, for the spouse to go and find something in the correct size.

While you may not be the only one who thinks women don’t belong in men’s dressing rooms, I believe you are in the minority.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 46-year-old female cancer survivor. My hair used to be long, thick and naturally wavy. Because of the high-dose chemotherapy and radiation to treat my lymphoma, I lost all my hair. It has grown back, but it’s thin, spotty and ugly. I have tried everything on the market, including foams, sprays, expensive hair clubs, etc., but nothing has worked.

Recently I started wearing a wig. It is natural-looking and stylish, and I feel confident again. I get lots of compliments on the cut and color.

My question is, when people ask who my stylist is, I’m not sure how to answer. I have been referring them to a friend who is a stylist, but I feel dishonest. However, I don’t want to reveal my secret. What would you do? — UNDER THE RUG IN CALIFORNIA DEAR UNDER THE RUG: Talk to the person who styles your wig for you and explain that you are receiving many compliments. Ask if you can refer other clients — but express that if you do, you would like the fact that you wear a wig kept strictly confidential. That’s how I’d handle it. Hairdressers are privy to secrets of all kinds, and they’re very good at keeping them (with rare exceptions).

Popular food and agriculture blogger invites you to join her journey

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer Kristin Porter lives by a simple philosophy: “Eat Well.

Run Far. Travel Far.” This philosophy has helped Kristin to not only live a healthy and adventurous life, but it has made her blog “Iowa Girl Eats” one of the most popular foodie blogs on the web. Her popularity allowed her to connect with Iowa Food and Family Project to launch another blog — “Join My Journey” which focuses more on where food comes from.

“I was approached by the Iowa Food and Family Project to start the Join My Journey blog which highlights my experiences on farms throughout the state, meeting farm families and sharing their stories,” Kristin said. “It was a great fit from the start — I’m an Iowa girl through and through, and love cooking healthful, seasonal, locally-sourced food for my family and blog followers, but had never stepped foot on a farm.”

Apparently Kristin’s approach to discovering Iowa’s

farms and foods has struck a chord with people. As Iowa Girls Eats, she has more than 60,000 “Likes” on Facebook, nearly 13,000 Twitter followers and avid readers from around the world.

“Never in a million years,” Kristin said, when asked if she foresaw her blog becoming a hit.

“I’m just like everyone else though— trying to balance work and family — so I think a lot of people can relate,” she said. “I’m just lucky enough to be able to do what I love every day, and share my experiences with my blog followers as well as the readers of Join My Journey.”

The Iowa Food and Family Project is a unique group in that it’s made up of farmers, farm groups, nutritionists, retailers, processors, manufacturers and most importantly, consumers.

Kristin and IFFP are currently preparing her farm touring schedule for 2014 and she talked about some of the things she’s learned by making these visits.

“The biggest takeaways from my farm visits were how

much Iowa’s farmers care about their land, preserving it through practices like notill farming, and take pride in caring for their livestock,” she said. “Every farm family I visited was incredibly proud of their work and product. I also learned fun farm facts like the color of a hen’s earlobe determines the color of egg she lays and cows have no upper teeth.”

She said her favorite visit, so far, has been to the Iowa State University Dairy Farm, because she loved seeing the passion and hard work that so many of the students displayed in the care of their animals.

When she’s not maintaining her blogs, Kristin enjoys spending time with her family, especially her husband, Ben, and 8-month-old son, Lincoln. So, what else does this Iowa girl like to do?

“My biggest passion, besides family, cooking and blogging, of course, is traveling. I haven’t gotten to do a lot of it since having my son, but I look forward to showing him the world someday,” she said.

With both blogs doing so

Agriculture Brief

Northey comments on Iowa crops DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“Farmers, like everyone else, are ready for some more warm weather that will allow them to get out in the fields and prepare for the growing season,” Northey said. “Soils remain very cool, with frost still in the ground in Northern Iowa, and will need to warm.

Some fertilizer applications have started.”

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov. The report summary follows here: Warmer temperatures allowed some farmers to do fieldwork during the week ending April 6, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 1.7

days suitable for fieldwork. Farmers in northern Iowa were able to get some fieldwork done early in the week before being halted by precipitation. Southern Iowa farmers were able to spend more time in the field with the South Central District averaging 4 days suitable, the highest in the State. Activities for the week included applying fertilizer and seeding oats. Farmers across the state were also busy preparing machinery for the upcoming planting season.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 8 percent very short, 30 percent short, 57 percent adequate and 5 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 16 percent very short, 44 percent short, 39 percent adequate and 1 percent surplus. Frost was still in the ground in most parts of the State causing little moisture to absorb to subsoil levels.

Pasture condition rated 19 percent very poor, 27 percent poor, 35 percent fair, 19 percent good and 0 percent excellent. Livestock conditions were reported as good.

Yard and garden: spring care of strawberry plants

es of crop damage from a late frost or freeze, leave the mulch on as long as possible. Removing the mulch in late March may encourage the plants to bloom before the danger of frost is past. Temperatures of 32 degrees Fahrenheit or lower may severely damage or destroy open flowers.

Since the first flowers produce the largest berries, a late spring frost or freeze can drastically reduce yields.

To determine when to remove the mulch, periodically examine the strawberry plants in spring. Remove the mulch from the strawberry planting when approximately 25 percent of the plants are producing new growth.

New growth will be white or yellow in color.

If possible, the winter mulch on strawberries should remain until mid-April in central Iowa. When removing the mulch, rake the material to the aisles between rows. If there is a threat of a frost or freeze later in spring during bloom, lightly rake the mulch over the strawberry plants.

Established plantings of June-bearing

strawberries should not be fertilized in spring. Spring fertilization stimulates foliar growth, produces softer berries and increases disease problems. Lush, vegetative growth may make picking difficult.

Also, soft berries are more likely to be attacked by fruit rots. As a result, a spring fertilizer application may reduce fruit yield.

Fertilizer should be applied to June-bearing strawberries during the renovation process immediately after the last harvest of the season.

Apply approximately 5 pounds of 10-10-10 or a similar analysis fertilizer per 100 feet of row.

Everbearing and day-neutral strawberries can be fertilized in early spring and again in early August. Apply 5 pounds of 10-10-10 or a similar analysis fertilizer per 100 feet of row.

Remove the strawberry plants from storage when ready to plant. Trim off the older leaves, place the roots in water for an hour, then plant immediately.

Set each plant in the ground so the crown of the plant is even with the soil surface.

UConn is top dog in men’s NCAA tournament ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — No conference wanted them. Several teammates and their coach left them. The NCAA wouldn’t have them.

UConn won it all anyway.

Shabazz Napier turned in another all-court masterpiece Monday night to lift the Huskies to a 60-54 win over Kentucky’s freshmen and a national title hardly anyone saw coming.

Napier had 22 points, six rebounds and three assists, and his partner in defensive lock-down, Ryan Boatright, finished with 14 points.

UConn (32-8) never trailed. The Huskies led by as many as 15 in the first half and watched the Wildcats (29-11) trim the deficit to one with 8:13 left. But Aaron Harrison, Kentucky’s big-moment shooter in the last three games, missed a 3-pointer from the left corner that would’ve given the ‘Cats the lead. Kentucky never got closer.

One key difference in a six-point loss: Kentucky’s 11 missed free throws — a flashback of sorts for coach John Calipari, whose Memphis team blew a late lead against Kansas after missing multiple free throws in the 2008 final.

The Wildcats went 13 for 24. UConn went 10 for 10, and when Lasan Kromah made his last two with 25.1 seconds left for a six-point margin, the celebration was on.

In all, Calipari’s One and Doners got outdone by a more fundamentally sound, more-seasoned group that came into this tournament a seventhseeded afterthought but walked away with the program’s fourth national title since 1999. They were the highest seed to win it all since Rollie Massimino’s eighth-seeded Villanova squad in 1985.

Napier and Boatright now go down with Kemba Walker, Emeka Okafor and all those other UConn champs of years past. This adds to the school’s titles in 1999, 2004 and 2011.

This one was, by far, the most unexpected.

A short year ago, UConn was playing its first season in the new American Athletic Conference after being booted from the Big East and not welcomed by any of the so-called power conferences. Longtime coach Jim Calhoun left because of health problems. And most damaging — the NCAA made the Huskies sit out of last year’s March Madness because of grade problems, which triggered an exodus of five key players to the NBA or other schools.

Napier stuck around. So did Boatright. And Calhoun’s replacement, Kevin Ollie, figured out how to get the most out of their grit and court sense.

They were one step ahead of Kentucky all night, holding off furious rally after furious rally.

Kentucky’s biggest push started when James Young (20 points, seven rebounds) posterized Amida Brimah with a monster dunk to start a threepoint play and trigger an 8-0 run.

In the middle of that, Boatright, who shut down Harrison’s twin brother, Andrew, most of the night, twisted his left ankle while receiving an innocuous-looking pass from Napier. He called a timeout. Got it worked on and came back out.

Napier and Niels Giffey made 3s on UConn’s next two possessions, and suddenly, that one-point lead was back up to five — comfortable by this tournament’s standards.

Experienced players lead Cardinal golf

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor NEWTON — Expectations are high for the 2014 Newton girls’ golf team.

Both the Cardinal golfers and head coach Scott Enyart expect to continue the NHS tradition of strong golf on the courses.

The Cardinal girls’ golf program has qualified for state as a team three times — 2003, 2008, 2013 — under Enyart, who is in his 13th year as head coach.

The Cardinals finished second in a Class 4A regional tournament on their home course last year. Five of the six golfers, which placed sixth at the 4A state tournament in 2013, return for the Cardinals.

Since joining the Little Hawkeye Conference in 2006, the Cardinal girls have been first or second as a team in the conference.

Enyart, who was a 2013 Class 4A District Coach of the year, said the Cardinals and Grinnell have battled for the top spot in the conference of the years.

“We have a very successful program and the girls we have back this year, that success will continue,” Enyart said.

The Cardinals open the 2014 season at home Thursday in a dual with Pella at Westwood Golf in Newton. The meet begins at 4:15 p.m.

Last year was tough on a lot of spring sports because of the inclement weather. The Cardinals weathered the tough

Eagle girls sprint to top 4 finishes

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor KNOXVILLE — Sprinting is a long suit for the Pella Christian girls’ track team this season. At Saturday’s Knoxville Panther Relays, the Eagle girls went second and four in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes and finished second in the 4x100-meter relay race.

Leah Breon was second in the 100 meters in 13.88 seconds and second in the 200 meters in 29.42 seconds. Running fourth in both races was Sarah Meyer, posting times of 14.16 seconds and 29.49 seconds, respectively.

Meyer and Breon combined with Taylor Bolt and Kathryn Van Tuyl for a time of 52.99 seconds in the 4x100-meter relay race. The

same foursome finished third in the 4x200- meter relay event in 1 minute, 54.62 seconds.

Morgan Anderson was sixth in the 400-meter dash in 1:08.12. She joined with Marina Shannon, Cara Theune and Alyssa Starkey to claim fifth in the 4x400meter relay race in 4:49.81.

Starkey ran fourth in the 800-meter race in 2:41.68 and Theune was sixth in 2:52.17. Shannon placed sixth in the 1,500-meter run in 5:37.26. The 4x800meter relay team of Theune, McKInley Zula, Starkey and Shannon finished fourth.

Van Tuyl cleared the bar at 4 feet, 6 inches to take fifth in the high jump. Laura Nicholson was seventh at 4’4”.

The Eagle boys also competed but there was no report received by the Daily News on their results.

season to combine for a 376 on their home course, Westwood Golf Course, to secure second place at the 4A regional and a berth to the state tournament.

Returning to the links for the Cardinals are seniors Carrie Cunningham, Madigan Hillyard and Madeline Wellik, junior Shelbey Cochran and sophomore Jessica Reynolds. The other senior on the team is Kaitlyn Sorensen.

Abby Jolivette and Olivia Maharry are juniors.

Sophomores on the team are Alyssa Bartels, Emily Fitzgerald, Cydney Hillyard, Jessica Smith and Amber Sorenson. Joining the team as freshmen are Lizzy Coyle, Emily Mehmen and Jacy Yoder.

Wellik moved to Newton and began playing for the Cardinals as a sophomore. She said her chipping is the best part of her game, but admitted she needed to work to improve her short game.

“As a team, we’re successful because we work well together, in practices and during meets,” Wellik said. “For me, I like to think alignment, balance and tempo before each shot and make sure I do my routine every time on my tee shots.”

Reynolds led the team at the state tournament — by one shot — as a freshman. She said she loves the game of golf and has played it since she was 4 or 5.

“My drives are the best part of the my game,”

Reynolds said. “I get distance on my shots. I’ve done some practicing indoors in the off-season to help improve my short game.”

Cunningham, Hillyard and Sorensen are four-year golfers for the Cardinals.

Cochran is in her third season on the team.

All the returning players had the same answer to the question of why the Cardinals have been successful.

“We get along together.

We help each other out and support each other.

We picked up a player who has had a tough day.

All of us are hard working and want to win.”

“I enjoy playing the sport and I have a good short game,” Hillyard said.

“I got a new driver this year and I hope it will help me put a better long game together with my short game. I want to improve my approach shots to the greens, you know, find them consistently.”

For Cunningham, the focus is putting and chipping this season. She said she hits well with her irons following a tee shot. Cunningham said the best part of the sport is playing golf with her friends.

“My irons — hitting the mid-range shots — are the best part of my game,” Cochran said. “I hit good approach shots. I really love this sport. I’m looking to improve my overall game, and that means, putting better and having good drives off the tee boxes.”

Sorensen said she tends to overhit off the tee box and on the greens with putts. She said she relaxes more in the “middle part of the game” and is focusing on being more relaxed from beginning to end on each hole.

“We’ve got players on the team who play golf well. They help those on the team who struggle with something. It’s about teamwork here,” Sorensen said.

Enyart said Cunningham, Hillyard, Wellik, Cochran and Reynolds are all pretty consistent players on the course. Filling the sixth spot on the varsity will depend on whoever is playing well that week, he said. He said there are several girls who could rotate into that sixth spot.

“Madeline is a rhythm player and tends to keep the ball in the middle of the fairways and in play throughout the course.

Madigan doesn’t let things such as a bad shot or whatever to bother her,” Enyart said.

“Carrie is consistent and has nice tee shots. Jessica handled a lot of tough competition last year, playing in the No.1 or No. 2 spot for us, and she hits the ball a long way. Shelbey puts the ball in the fairways and has improved her putting.”

Enyart said he and assistant coach Alison Grier are excited about the team as a whole this season.

Newton has several younger girls who could develop into strong golfers.

Area high school golf teams hit the links

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor Area high school golf teams competed in their first meets Monday. Pella Christian’s boys took on Pella Community High School’s boys at Oskaloosa.

Lynnville-Sully’s boys and girls got into the swing of things at Montezuma and the ColfaxMingo teams were at Saydel.

Pella Christian boys OSKALOOSA — Mason Howerzyl shot a 37 to earn the top medalist honors for Pella Christian’s Eagles in a golf duel meet with Pella’s Little Dutch Monday.

The Dutch won the meet with a 160 while the Eagles shot a 172 on the Edmundson Golf Club course in Oskaloosa.

The Eagles’ Justin Stravers finished with a 42 for the nine-hole competition. Graham Howerzyl ended up with a 46

followed by Jason Holwerda at 47, Josh Posthuma at 48 and Jordan Pleima at 49.

Pella Christian spring sports hit the ground running this week

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor

Seniors John Admiraal and Cory Van Gilst, and juniors Jacob Brouwer, Jonathan Beltman and Jake DeRuiter are back for the Eagles. DeRuiter, a forward, scored six goals and had one assist for the Eagles.

Admiraal, a mid-fielder, made four goals and had seven assists.

“These players are accustomed to playing together and will play a key role in building our attack and getting more shots on goal,” said Eagle head coach Gerrit Brouwer. “I believe that we will be able to compete well again this year and will be able to get more wins this season.”

Sophomore Josh Fopma is working at goalkeeper.

Pella Christian did not have the numbers to field a girls’ soccer team in 2014. Senior Morgan DeRuiter and sophomore Kathryn Groenenboom played for the Eagles’ girls last year at mid-field and goalkeeper, respectively. Klaaske Miller is a a freshman.

Girls Track Pella Christian’s girls have strong leadership returning on the 2014 track team. The Eagles have 12 returning letterwinners, which include four athletes who qualified for the 2013 state track meet.

“We graduated only two seniors last year, so we have most of our team coming back.

This will provide experience and an extra level of leadership for the team,” Eagle girls’ head coach Kevin Herdegen said. “We have a larger group of distance runners, which will help us fill more spots for each meet. My greatest concerns are the lack of hurdles on the team and experience for our new athletes.”

Three members of the state-qualifying 4x100-meter relay team are back in senior Leah Breon and sophomores Taylor Bolt and Sarah Meyer.

Bolt, Meyer and junior Christa Veenstra are back from the sprint medley relay team that qualified for state.

Others back are senior Alec Breon, junior Alyssa Starkey and sophomores Cara Theune and McKinley Zula in distance races. Providing depth in the sprints are junior Julia Dykstra and sophomore Sydney Faber. Leading the throwers are juniors Calise Gritters and Miranda Nikkel.

Herdegen said the following athletes are expected to contribute at the varsity level: juniors Morgan Anderson, Laura Nicholson, Courtney Nikkel, Marina Shannon and Damaris Worthington; sophomore Abby Van Soelen and freshman Kathryn Van Tuyl.

Boys Track With 11 returning letterwinners, the Pella Christian boys’ track team is half and half with experienced and non-experienced athletes in 2014. The Eagles have a large contingent, 10, of freshmen on the team of 22.

Eagle head coach Keith Anderson, who is in his third year guiding the Eagles, said the strengths of the team are in the sprint events and field events.

“We have several athletes who are fast in the 100 meters and 200 meters. We have some strong throwers in the shot put and discus,” he said.

Returning for the Eagles are seniors Zach Van Zee, Jordan Breon and David Dykstra and juniors Jon Larson, Caleb Attema, Dillon Branderhorst, Max Shannon, Jackson Schelhaas, Nate Haveman, Far Zhu and Jake Lensing.

Also on the team are sophomore Joel Larson, and freshmen Sam Fredrickson, Cody Gritters, Levi Jungling, David Kacmarynski, Eddie Pringle, Caleb Roose, Colin Stravers, Matthew Vermeer, Miles Wichhart and Grant Dunsbergen.

PELLA — Pella Christian athletes get into spring sports in earnest this week. A couple of events were scheduled for last week — one was postponed because of inclement weather.

The Eagle soccer team defeated Prairie City-Monroe’s boys, 5-1, last Thursday. The Eagle girls’ golf home triangular last Thursday was postponed. The Pella Christian track teams competed in Saturday’s Knoxville Panther Relays.

Three events were slated for Tuesday and it starts for the Eagles.

Girls Golf Five is the number for the Eagle girls’ golf team. They return two golfers in senior Savanna Baugh and junior Autumn Vos. “Savanna and Autumn have lots of experience, but the other three girls have virtually no experience,” said Eagle girls’ head coach Larry Hessing.

The other members of the team are senior Alexis Wright, and juniors Malia Beatty and Emma Farwell.

The Eagles were 17-17 last year and advanced to the second round of regional tournament play.

Boys Golf Jim Dingeman, who is in his third year as head coach for the Pella Christian boys’ golf team, expects good things out of the 2014 squad. The Eagles have six returning letterwinners from a team that took third at sectionals last year. The Eagles went 33-34 last year and 2-10 in the Little Hawkeye Conference.

Back for the Eagles are seniors Mason Howerzyl, Justin Stravers and Jordan Pleima, juniors Josh Posthuma and Jason Holwerda, and sophomore Mitch Fopma. Dingeman said seniors Tanner Van Maanen and Chase Riggen, junior Joel Van Maanen and freshman Graham Howerzyl could contribute at the varsity level.

“We’ve got a team of guys with a lot of varsity experience,” Dingeman said. “We just need to mature some and play a little smarter — think our way around the course.

We have a ton of talent on this team, and I’m really excited to start playing meets.”

Girls Tennis With three returning players, the Eagle girls’ tennis team is a young squad going into 2014. Second-year head coach Danielle Stubbs was still working with the 21-player squad to find a varsity lineup.

“The strength of our team is a group of girls with great attitudes and strong work ethics. Our biggest challenge is that we are a young team,” Stubbs said. “We graduated eight seniors last year and have several spots to fill on the varsity roster.”

Andrea DeBruin is a junior who played No. 2 singles for the Eagles a year ago. Also back are seniors Claire VanWeelden and Addison VanWeelden, who played No. 6 singles and No. 3 doubles, respectively, last year.

The Eagles were 4-1 in Little Hawkeye Conference play last year. Stubbs said the only non-conference meet scheduled last year was rained out.

Boys Soccer Pella Christian has 19 boys on its 2014 Eagle soccer team and three girls. The Eagle boys opened the season with a win last week. They played at home Monday against Albia, and host Dallas CenterGrimes in a Little Hawkeye Conference game today.

The Eagles are building to improve on a 3-11 mark of last year. They have five reStports Editor Jocelyn Sheets may turning letterwinners but lost three of their four defenders be contacted at (641) 792-3121, and their goalkeeper from last ext. 432, or at jsheets@newtondailynews.com. year’s squad.

Tuesday, April 8, 2014

If Aries energy were a light, it would be a laser beam. If Libran energy were a light, it would be the soft, fuzzy glow of indirect sunlight behind clouds. The opposition of the sun in aggressive Aries and Mars in diplomatic Libra brings a clash of viewpoints. However you see your situation, there’s someone who doesn’t see it that way at all.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 8). You’ll make more room for the love coming into your life in the weeks to come. Also, a professional surprise will start a cycle of better compensation. In June, you get your turn in the spotlight and quickly turn it over to someone you believe in. You’ll revamp your domestic life in August so it better supports other goals. Leo and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 22, 34 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll hear words that put you on the defense. Pay attention to what triggers you. This is a valuable clue to help you unlock your psyche

REAL ESTATE

and solve a personal problem.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today feels like a dream within a dream.

When you don’t like what’s going on, you will do the equivalent of shaking yourself awake to start over in a new setting.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may feel like wandering a bit, but if you seem purposeless, there are those who will interpret this as weakness. It will behoove you to project a sense of purpose whether or not you think you really have one.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There won’t be a clear opportunity for you to seize. But where there are people in need, there is opportunity. Your job is to ask questions to try to find the need you might be able to fulfill.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You’d rather not fake enthusiasm. You prefer to go where the excitement is and be genuinely inspired. Though you

won’t have full control over your environment, a cheery attitude will attract more things to be cheerful about.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). It is so commonplace to wait in a doctor’s or a dentist’s office that patients who are seen on time are absolutely amazed. You’ll get a similarly amazed reaction when your professionalism outshines the norm today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The time you spend with an enjoyable someone is worth planning for.

You’ll consciously think about the details that others might leave to chance.

Because you think ahead, nothing will spoil your fun.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You know better than to lay on the charm just because you have something to gain from the situation — that’s too transparent. You’ll seek a level social playing field.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It seems everyone is competing

for attention, affection and money, and the way some people go about it feels rather uncool. You’d rather sit back and watch than play this game.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Before jumping into the ring, you decide whether the prize is worth fighting for. In today’s case, the prize is just knowing you won. Is it really that important?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Maybe love doesn’t make the world go around, but attraction does. Attraction is the force that keeps this system in orbit. Today you’ll be changed by the thing that pulls you in.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You can’t answer the call of the wild unless there is something wild in you, too — and there is. Respecting this part of yourself will involve facing it. You cannot tame what you ignore.
