Manhunt ends after Jasper County break-in Chase suspects arrested

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News REASNOR — A suspect who eluded police Thursday — allegedly connected with a home invasion and apparent assault in Reasnor and an ensuing high-speed chase in Newton — was found by law enforcement hiding in a tree near the North Skunk River in rural Mahaska County.

Elijah Utterback, 37, of Ot-

Utterback

Spears

tumwa, was arrested at 2:30 p.m. in connection with the police pursuit in Newton. According to the Jasper County

Sheriff ’s Office, Utterback fled on foot after Mahaska County Sheriff ’s deputies found him operating a vehicle near Highway 146 on the Poweshiek/Mahaska County line. Several law enforcement agencies assisted in Utterback’s arrest, including a Jasper County reserve deputy and a K-9 unit who found the Ottumwa man in the tree.

An Iowa State Patrol aircraft, Poweshiek County Sheriff ’s Office, Mahaska and Poweshiek County Emergency Management and Mahas-

ka County Conservation also assisted in the search for Utterback.

A second suspect, 23-yearold Kelsi Spears, of Kellogg, was arrested earlier Thursday morning after she eluded officers in a reportedly stolen vehicle.

The incident began with a 911 call at 10:40 a.m. at a Reasnor residence from a male victim who reported two suspects broke into the home, assaulted him and took his vehicle. The victim suffered minor injuries. Jas-

per County deputies and other law enforcement agencies responded to the area.

A Jasper County deputy located two vehicles 12 minutes later at approximately 10:52 a.m., one confirmed stolen, southeast of Newton.

The second vehicle immediately fled the area. Law enforcement attempted to stop the stolen vehicle, but the driver — who was later confirmed to be Spears — failed to pull over.

NCSD to chose contractor for Newton woman to receive public admin parking lot project health award

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Iowa Public Health Association has selected Jasper County Board of Health Chair Margot Voshell for the 2016 Go the Distance Award.

Voshell, who also works as the director of marketing and sales for Park Centre, was nominated by Jasper County Health Administrator Becky Pryor for her dedicated work to make the new county health department a reality.

“As far as a board of health chair, Margot is the best you could ask for.

She is knowledgeable, professional Voshell and a go-getter,” Pryor said.

Voshell, who has been on the board since 2012, will receive the award at a luncheon ceremony held during the IPHA annual meeting. The ceremony takes place at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday at the Airport Holiday Inn in Des Moines.

VOSHELL | 3A Jason W. Brooks/Daily News A bid is scheduled to be selected for the parking-lot phase of the administration building’s remodeling project at the Newton Community School District Board of Education’s regular meeting Monday. The meeting is slated for 6:30 p.m. at Emerson Hough.

Agenda includes budget hearing, with state deadline looming

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A public hearing of the 201617 budget is probably the most important item on the agenda for Monday night’s regular Newton Community School District Board of Education meeting, but it certainly is one of many prominent topics.

The meeting, set for 6:30 p.m. in the Emerson Hough conference room, will contain a few hearings in the course of the evening. The main hearing is on the 2016-17 budget, which must be submitted to the Iowa Department of Education by April 15.

The other two hearings are for

the purchase of two 77-passenger buses and the repaving of the new administration building’s parking lot. Buses won’t be the only equipment discussed Monday, as consideration of purchasing a skid loader is also on the agenda.

Also, the board will consider naming the administration building and renaming its alternative school programs that are set to be housed there beginning later this year.

A basic 2016-17 district calendar was approved at the board’s March 25 meeting. Monday, the board will hear about final edits to the calendar.

Elementary school principals

Jolene Comer and Tom Bartello will present finalized in-district K-4 student transfer procedures that will go into effect next year.

Also, Transportation Supervisor Curt Roorda will make a presentation about proposed bus routes as a discussion-only item and recommendations will be made for policy changes.

Consideration of The Flippen Group’s “Capturing Kids’ Hearts” training agreement — parts A and B — are on the agenda as separate items. The Texas-based program was one of the district’s most expensive and highly discussed professional development pieces of the past couple of years, and it drew positive feedback from the Newton educators who have been involved so far.

Maternal Child Health Force holds inaugural meeting

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News With the goal of decreasing child abuse, the Maternal Child Health Force which is composed of area human service providers met for the first time on Thursday to discuss how to accomplish the lofty goal.

Jasper County Health Department Administrator Becky Pryor led the roundtable with representatives from Skiff Medical Center, Mid-Iowa Community

Action and Jasper County Council for the Prevention of Child Abuse along with staff from the Jasper County Health Department.

The group began by discussing gaps in services that need to be filled to make progress with the issue of child abuse. A strong theme that was repeatedly mentioned was the lack of knowledge both new and well-established parents have about parenting.

Skiff Foundation receives $10,000 Wellmark Foundation grant Newton Daily News The Skiff Foundation recently received a $10,000 Wellmark Foundation Community Kickstarter grant for Jasper County Healthy Beginnings, a new program created to assist families by providing important nutrition education and support.

The Wellmark Foundation’s Community Kickstarter grant

was awarded to 35 projects in Iowa and South Dakota. These projects focused on making communities more active or improving access to healthy foods. Skiff competed against 120 other projects and was awarded the grant based upon an application submitted by the Skiff Foundation and through votes received from the community.

“We are very appreciative

of the community’s support in helping the Skiff Foundation receive this grant and for The Wellmark Foundation’s investment in our community,” said Leisa Zylstra, Skiff Foundation and Events Coordinator. “This grant will positively impact many families in Jasper County by providing them with knowledge and confidence to encourage a healthy lifestyle for their children.”

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The Newton High School jazz band made its first appearance at state in at least 25 years when it performed at Tuesday’s 41st Annual Iowa Jazz Championships at the Des Moines Civic Center. From the left are saxophonists Katherine Thorpe, Jacob Murphy, Kate Wyre and Emily Mehmen.

NHS jazz band performs on state’s big stage Qualification is first in recent memory

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News After the applause for the introduction of the Newton High School jazz band was done, a intense silence settled over the Des Moines Civic Center for the next several seconds.

Then, band director Jim Beerends started snapping his fingers to count the band in, and Newton’s first state-level performance in at least the past 25 years began with the opening notes of Don Menza’s “Groovin’ Hard.”

Though Newton ended up placing 14th out of 15 teams in Class 4A at Tuesday’s Iowa Jazz Championships, making it back to the state level and playing with the best in Iowa was a huge accomplishment for the NHS music program.

NHS hasn’t been at state in the 25 years formal records have been kept.

No one is quite certain if a Newton jazz group made it to state in any of the 16 years the competition was held prior to 1991.

Beerends seemed pleased not only with his band making it to state, but also in its breadth of work over the course of the jazz band season.

“This is music that they have been playing since late November and it has come a long way since we first began working on it,” Beerends said.

The fourth-year director moved his 19 musicians through “Groovin’ Hard,” followed by Duke Ellington’s “Flirtibird” and “Cold Duck Time” by Eddie Harris in their 20-minute set.

By the end of the three short pieces, not only had the group gained valuable experience at the state level, but some soloists had also seen what it’s like to compete in that type of setting

Bill ’s

as well.

Newton was the second of the 15 Class 4A bands to compete. Its 9 a.m. slot was near the beginning of a long day for the three judges, who heard bands from such established 4A programs as Dowling Catholic, Valley and Johnston.

The Iowa Jazz Championships are considered to be a unique one-day event nationally due to the format and caliber of performances. The annual state championship event invites the top 15 jazz ensembles for each class, 1A through 4A, for 60 bands total.

The top two performing jazz bands from each class will then compete that evening in the Des Moines Civic Center for the Iowa Jazz Championship state titles.

Valley ended up taking first place in Class 4A, with Johnston second and Waukee third. Cedar Falls rounded out the top eight in the classification.

Pella won its 17th title in school history in jazz by capturing the 3A crown. However, being an established

program does not guarantee a top performance at state; Okoboji High School, making its 22nd consecutive appearance at state, placed third in 2A. Bands qualify for state through district and independent qualifying festivals. Newton’s top finish of the year was at a Southeast Polk competition in February, where NHS bested Muscatine for first place in Class 4A. Next year, the state competition moves to Ames. Beerends is hoping he’s helped build the kind of program that includes qualify for state.

“High school musicians who make it to this level need to have a lot of determination and an understanding that there is always something more that we can do to make this better,” Beerends said. “There has to be imagination to continually find a way to refine and sometimes reinvent what you are doing to keep things fresh.”

Newton police placed stop sticks in the road at South 13th Avenue East in Newton during the pursuit, which cause the stolen vehicle’s two front tires to deflate. Spears continued to drive and was eventually stopped by law enforcement at the intersection of South 13th Avenue East and East Fifth Street South where she was taken into custody. Spears was transported to the Jasper County Jail.

Spears is charged with first-degree burglary, second-degree theft, felony eluding, operating a vehicle without a drivers license and insurance, driving on the wrong side of the road and failure to obey a stop sign.

So much to do this spring As much as one savors the peace and quiet of a rainy April day, we look forward to the sun and splendor of May. Temperatures in the 60s and sunny skies are forecasted for late next week.

As many prepare to venture out next weekend or the weeks ahead, here are six nearby places for spring outdoor exploring: Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge Named after advocate and longtime congressman Neal Edward Smith, 95, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service acquired 8,654 acres land near Prairie City to restore native tallgrass prairie and oak savanna ecosystems.

There are many nature hiking trails

Write On Kate Malott which I will be acquainting myself with in the coming months.

Neal Smith is great for its toddler to senior educational opportunities, and is known for housing 75 bison and 25 elk.

Chichaqua Valley Trail The Chichaqua Valley Trail runs for 27 miles between Baxter and Berwick (northeast of Des Moines), passing through Ira, Mingo, Valeria and Bondurant. The trail, now paved, occupies an abandoned railway once was used by the Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska Railroad.

Chichaqua is a great trail for hiking and biking — 4.65 miles between Baxter and Ira and four miles from Ira to Mingo, for instance.

Newton Arboretum The arboretum is the smallest location on the list but is dense with a variety of trees and flowers. It’s filled with botanical gardens and has a small pond, gazebo, garden, bridge, numerous sculptures and more than a halfmile in hard surface trails.

The arboretum is ideal for leisure recreation and beautiful scenery.

preserve. There are also seven miles of hiking trails that offer excellent views of a variety of native habitats.

It’s closer to Grinnell than Newton, a quarter-mile mile north of the Interstate 80 Lynnville exit.

Jacob Krumm is perfect for easy spring hiking because of its scenic wildflower trail. It’s a retreat full of new blooming wildflowers.

Mariposa Park Northeast of Newton is a wonderful park for visiting with family and friends. With a 17-acre lake for fishing, a playground with shelter, small campground and a lovely half-mile trail, it has almost everything you would need in a quaint park of its size.

Mariposa is great for family picnics and tent camping.

Ashton Park The small, 113-acre park located west of Baxter is made of upland oak-hickory woods and walking trails down forested slopes.

It’s also known for the Astronomical Observatory, free to the public. The telescopes at the observatory are run by the Des Moines Astronomical Society which hosts Saturday evening star watching from April to October.

Ashton is a fantastic place for a picnic or a look at the stars.

So Anyway Dana King

Read any good books lately?

I recently received an email notifying me I need to download an important update on my Kindle.

What I find so amusing about this is the 25-yearold me would have NEVER owned a Kindle, had they even been invented. Heck, back then the only books I owned were the series of children’s books I subscribed to for my son.

I’ve only been a “reader” for the last 12 years or so.

You see, I was one of those kids that nearly slipped through the cracks.

Oh, I could read. I didn’t struggle with the words. I was actually a very fluent reader, or as my mom says, “I read beautifully.” But my mind tuned out the meaning part of reading, and I merely went through the motions of saying the words I saw on the page. I was pretty good at it too.

I loved the idea of books. We always had books at home. My siblings and I would also go to the basement of our town’s public library designated for the children’s library.

I enjoyed going there. In the hall leading to the little room, were shelves lined with old newspapers and magazines. Once inside, I’d sit quietly in the little chairs, looking through book after book. I’d look in the card pocket to see who had read the book before me — for some reason that was always important. I’d read the dust jacket ... thumb through the pages. And after I’d picked out just the right books, I’d head to the desk where the elderly librarian would take the date stamper, tap it on the ink pad and then date my books.

However once I’d get those books home, I don’t remember reading a single paragraph.

My friends all had their own books stacked in corners of their bedrooms or on bookcases. As much as I wished to be like them, I just didn’t find the joy in reading.

Yes, I had apparently fooled many people over the years. Being a year younger than most of my classmates, my teachers would use that as the explanation to my parents as to why I had to work so much harder to be on par with the other children. The problem with that was I did eventually keep up with the other kids ... I was right there in the middle. There were no red flags. I was an average student.

So anyway ...

There came a point when someone, I don’t know who, eventually caught on. Of course, by that point in my life, I needed more help than a regular classroom schedule could provide.

In the 70s, society wasn’t as cautious about using terminology that might be deemed inappropriate in today’s world. So, without as much as a note to my parents, let alone a face-to-face discussion about the challenges I was facing, off I was sent to the “Special Reading” room for classes when I was in junior high school. Contrary to how it sounds, everyone knew that didn’t mean ‘the room for exceptionally gifted readers.”

The teacher was Mrs. Hunter, a slender, middle-aged woman who always smelled of coffee and cigarettes — like I said, it was the 70s. She taught me to slow down and learn to interact with the words I was reading. I credit her for saving my education.

Granted, I finally had the skills to implement new techniques into everything I read, but it was work.

Plain and simple, at that point, to me reading equated work. But thanks to my year of instruction with Mrs. Hunter, I graduated with honors. I’ve also spent the last quarter of a century working in the newspaper industry. Ironic, isn’t it?

Fast forward 30 years. I eventually discovered pleasure reading. In fact, I enjoy reading so much, I finally have bookshelves of my own full of hardcover books.

And a Kindle that needs an update.

Throughout my tenures as Iowa’s Secretary of State, I have worked vigorously to encourage and enable every eligible Iowan with registering to vote and participating in the electoral process. I take voter participation very seriously.

My role as Secretary of State includes presiding as Iowa’s Commissioner of Elections. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding our state’s voting laws. I would like to clarify and clean up some misconceptions.

First, Iowa does not permanently disqualify felons from voting. Anyone who tells you otherwise is misinformed or is misleading you. All Iowans convicted of a felony have the opportunity to have their voting privileges restored, unless they are serving a life sentence behind bars.

I use the word “privileges” because voting for our representative form of government is a privilege. Hundreds of thousands of our brave men and women fought and died to ensure all U.S. citizens had that sacred privilege.

Our state’s Founding Fathers used the term “privilege” in regards to voting when they drafted the Iowa Constitution 160 years ago.

Unfortunately, some Iowans have forfeited that privilege, but it is not an arduous process to have it restored. Once felons complete their sentences and pay their debt to society, or are on track to pay restitution, they can request that

Another View Secretary of State Paul Pate the Governor’s Office restore their voting privileges.

Despite what you might have heard, the process is not difficult. Felons can fill out a simple 29-question form and send it to the governor’s office. Within a couple of months, chances are very good that their privileges will be restored. It is very disappointing that the same special interest groups that claim to want to help Iowans vote have chosen not to help felons utilize this process.

It is equally troubling to hear Washington D.C.-based special interest groups come to our state and testify to our Supreme Court that Iowa should allow imprisoned child molesters, murderers and rapists vote in our elections.

That is what happened in Des Moines on Wednesday. Their view does not represent Iowa values.

The Iowa Supreme Court is being asked to erase more than 100 years of legal precedent and redefine the meaning of “infamous crime.” As argued by Iowa Solicitor General Jeff Thompson, the definition of infamous crime has long included all felonies. Whether you are looking in common law books, U.S. Supreme Court history or in Webster’s Dictionary, they all agree: All felonies are infamous crimes.

Iowa law, enshrined in our Constitution of 1857, is clear: No person convicted of any infamous crime shall be entitled

to the privilege of an elector.

The founders of our state believed this. Less than 10 years ago, the people of Iowa and our legislators in two consecutive general assemblies reaffirmed the view that people convicted of an infamous crime lose their voting privileges. The people of Iowa and their elected representatives have spoken, repeatedly: A felony is an infamous crime.

A separate issue is the definition of a felony. If Iowans want to remove some crimes from the classification of felony, I am in favor of having that debate. However, it should be our elected leaders, not judges, that make this determination.

I am proud of Iowa’s record of clean, fair and accessible elections. We have worked to make voter access easier through electronic voter registration.

The ability to register to vote is available anytime and anywhere with internet access. In fact, we have same-day voter registration on Election Day. Iowans now have six different ways to register to vote.

They have four different ways to cast a ballot. We have longer early voting periods, longer polling hours and a higher percentage of the population registered to vote than almost every other state.

I will continue to find ways to ensure and encourage every eligible Iowan has the ability to vote. I will also continue to fight for the integrity of the ballot.

Voter participation and voter integrity are not mutually exclusive.

Many Iowa evergreens showing signs of winter burn Newton Daily News Conifers, or evergreen trees, provide color and wind protection to the Iowa landscape during the winter months. However, this year, many of these trees are showing signs of winter desiccation, also known as winter burn.

Although this past winter may have been one of the warmer on record, several days had air temperatures above freezing, while the soil remained frozen.

“When this happens, conifers use the water reserves they have in their needles, but are unable to absorb new water from the frozen soil,” Tivon Feeley, DNR forest health program leader said. “Because roots in frozen soil have no ability to replace water, winter burn occurs

as needles dry out and brown. The tree literally runs out of water.”

Symptoms of winter burn include browning or bleaching of needles and loss of needles, which can eventually lead to death. The symptoms tend to be worse on the windward side of the tree and become more apparent as the days become warmer.

According to Feeley, the DNR is beginning to receive calls about arborvitae, white pine and white fir with moderate to severe damage from winter burn, and he expects the damage will become more apparent in June and July.

If needles on trees are dead but buds are alive, new plant foliage will regrow to replace the winter burned foliage; however, if both the buds and needles are

dead, the tree will not recover and will need to be removed.

“There is no way to prevent winter burn,” Feeley said. “However, you can reduce the risks by properly mulching around your conifers and watering in the fall just before the trees goes dormant. Watering is especially important in drought years, and therefore the DNR does not recommend conifers for newly planted windbreaks.

Deciduous trees generally have fewer disease and insect problems, and grow quicker, resulting in faster protection.”

For more information about winter burn and other tree-related issues, contact a DNR district forester in your area. For a list of DNR staff, visit www.iowadnr.gov/contact.

Smoker who’s tried everything is desperate to become a quitter DEAR ABBY: I need some advice about quitting smoking.

I am the father of an only child and husband to a wonderful wife.

But for some reason, I have not been able to find the motivation to quit. I know smoking is bad for my health, and I don’t want to endanger my child’s health any longer.

I have tried the gum, the patch and even prescription meds. My willpower just isn’t strong and I can’t quit, no matter what I try.

I need the right inspiration. Can you help me stop this nasty habit?

— SICK OF IT IN MISSOURI DEAR SICK OF IT: I’ll try.

As a former smoker, I’ll share what worked for me. Cold turkey.

First, clean house. Get rid of all the cigarettes you have stashed at home, in your car and at your workplace. Yes, even the pack you “forgot” in your jacket pocket.

Realize that your body is saturated with nicotine and it must be flushed out. Drinking LOTS of water for the first month will help you accomplish that.

Then, choose one day when you will go entirely smoke-free.

Understand going in that you will crave your “fix.” When that craving hits, if you must put something in your mouth, chew (non-nicotine) gum, go brush your teeth or eat a crunchy vegetable (carrot sticks, celery). If you can manage to do this for just ONE DAY, you can do it for another one. And then another, etc.

Accept that you are an addict and that your “sobriety” is something you will have to cling to with determination. Eventually the impulse to grab a cigarette will fade, but every now and then you may have an urge

to smoke that comes out of left field. When that happens, get up and walk out of the room. By the time you return, the urge will have subsided. Mine did.

And one more thing — if you fall off the wagon (and you may), think about watching your child graduate from high school or college, getting married and playing with your grandchildren.

Your chances of doing those things will be better if you’re not a smoker. Then get back on that wagon and start over again.

That’s how I quit, and the third time I did it, it worked.

(Clearly, I do not have willpower of cast iron.) If I can do it, believe me, so can you. Please write again in six months and let me know you’re tobacco-free, too.

I’m rooting for you.

DEAR ABBY: Can you really learn to love someone you don’t find physically attractive? — TWITTER FAN OF ABBY DEAR TWITTER FAN: You may learn to love the person for his or her finer qualities, but I don’t think you can “learn” to find someone physically attractive if the chemistry simply isn’t there.

3 Radio tower move to improve county communications

2 Authorities investigate death

LISBON — An old emergency radio tower is being moved to help improve communications for police, fire and medical agencies in part of Linn County. The new home for the 180-foot tower is near the Lisbon water tower. The county has been struggling with communication dead spots in the Mount Vernon and Lisbon area since Cedar Rapids, Marion and the county coordinated their radio systems. A study showed that moving the radio tower would solve about 90 percent of the dead spot problems.

PLEASANTVILLE — Authorities are investigating the death of a 26-year-old man in south-central Iowa.

The Marion County Sheriff ’s Office says the body of Shane Wiand was found at a home west of Pleasantville. Medics and officers were sent there after a 911 call around 10:40 a.m. Thursday. The circumstances surrounding Wiand’s death prompted officers to obtain a search warrant for the home.

Pretending wish for kiss, woman bit husband’s lip SIOUX CITY — Authorities say a Sioux City woman who approached her husband for a kiss instead bit and tore his lower lip.

Republicans release state oversight plan for Medicaid Upmeyer. She said she expects the plan to be included in a budget bill that deals with health and human services.

A spokesman for the Democratic-controlled Senate, which introduced its own plan earlier in the session, said lawmakers are reviewing the Republican proposal. Democrats want to add a working group of stakeholders for additional overview and create a fund to capture any savings from the new system. Neither of those ideas is in the Republican proposal.

Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said at a news conference before the release of the

The Associated Press DES MOINES — House Republicans on Thursday announced a new proposal for state oversight of Iowa’s privatized Medicaid program that they say emphasizes transparency, but it’s unclear whether Senate Democrats will fully embrace the plan.

The proposal would require the three private companies now running the program to provide information for quarterly and annual progress reports to lawmakers who oversee health issues in the Legislature. Data would also be posted online.

“Iowans can look at it and kind of reach their conclusions just as we will,” said House Speaker Linda Upmeyer, R-Clear Lake.

The progress reports would focus on consumer protection, program performances and integrity, according to

St. Ambrose to build $18.5 million recreation facility DAVENPORT (AP) — After years of quiet fundraising and planning, leaders at St. Ambrose University in Davenport have launched the school’s largest capital project Wednesday to build a new $18.5 million recreation facility.

University president Sister Joan Lescinski said Wednesday the school is moving forward with construction on the 80,000-square-foot Wellness and Recreation Center on the north side of campus.

The building will serve athletes and students with multipurpose areas for intramural activities and recreation along with a room that will feature a Hall of Fame honoring past players.

The center would also provide lab space for some health and wellness courses.

The fundraising effort behind the project, named “Building Our Future Campaign,” is led by alumni who have been working to collect major donations for years.

The campaign’s co-chair, Mike Johnson, said the school’s last physical education facility was built in 1983, when the university had eight varsity sports. Today it has 23 varsity sports and the student population has doubled, with an enrollment of about 3,343.

GOP plan that his chamber wants to work with Republicans to reach consensus.

“We know we won’t get everything we think is necessary,” he said. “If they’re cooperative enough that we can get what we think is decent protections for Iowans that need these important services, we’ll probably engage in something on that.”

The $4.2 billion Medicaid program, which is funded through federal and state dollars, provides health care to about 560,000 poor and disabled residents in Iowa. It was switched to private management on April 1 amid criticism from some health advocacy

groups that said the state had not communicated with Medicaid recipients enough about the transition. State officials say the communication issue has been resolved and that there’s staff available to respond to any ongoing questions and concerns.

Gov. Terry Branstad has said the new system will save the state money and offer better care. He has been vague about what type of additional state oversight he would support.

Branstad spokesman Ben Hammes said Thursday that the governor looks forward to working with lawmakers “to build consensus on the appropriate level of oversight.”

Sioux City speed camera tickets continue despite limit on driver details The Associated Press PIERRE, S.D. — An Iowa border city hasn’t been deterred from issuing tickets to South Dakota drivers caught on speed cameras despite being blocked from accessing some driver information in a South Dakota database, Sioux City’s legal department said Thursday.

In what has become something of an inter-state chess match over access to driver information, Gov. Dennis Daugaard’s administration in January shut off the Sioux City Police Department’s access to South Dakota residents’ addresses in a database city police had been using.

But the move doesn’t seem to have discouraged ticketing from photo enforcement cameras.

About 280 tickets were issued to vehicles registered in South Dakota in January and February 2016, compared to 267 during roughly

the same period in 2015, according to the latest information provided by the city attorney’s office.

Daugaard’s office wants people to follow the speed limit, and the move was meant to bar Sioux City from accessing details in the state’s system, said Matt Konenkamp, a policy adviser to the governor.

“The goal is to get South Dakota out of the process,” he said. “We don’t like the process that they’ve created, we don’t think it’s constitutionally sound, and we don’t want to be a partner in it by readily sharing our data with them.”

Sioux City police have continued to issue citations without slowing down, Assistant City Attorney Justin Vondrak said. Police have other ways of researching driver information with “just a little bit of work,” he said, adding that he likely can’t reveal those methods.

“The intent of the governor of South Dakota was to prevent us

obviously from issuing any citations for individuals who break laws within the city limits,” Vondrak told The Associated Press.

“The city has taken steps to make sure that it is able to enforce the traffic laws within its jurisdiction by anyone who violates those laws.

South Dakota drivers are not exempt from obeying the city’s traffic laws.”

South Dakota law is supposed to prevent other states or local governments from accessing residents’ driver information for the purposes of issuing such tickets.

But Sioux City police last year said they were still able to get the necessary details from South Dakota, which doesn’t have red light or speed cameras.

South Dakota previously blocked Arizona-based Redflex Traffic Systems, which Sioux City contracts with for the cameras, from accessing information on the state’s residents.

Cardinal girls blank Bombers

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

HUXLEY — A shutout in the season opener put Newton High’s girls on the right path in the 2016 soccer season. The Class 2A preseason 11th-ranked Cardinals decked host Ballard, 3-0, Thursday.

Offensively, the Cardinals weren’t able to score in the first half against the Bombers. Then again, the Bombers could not mount much of a scoring threat against Newton’s defense.

Junior Ashlee Freese started in goal for the Cardinals denying the Bombers a score for 70 minutes.

For the final 10 minutes, sophomore Addy Blom took over the goalkeeper duties and Ballard was not able to score on her either.

Newton had four goal saves in the game. The Cardinals put 21 shots on goal in the contest and Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High junior Courtney Jacobsen (45) handles the ball against Ballard in last year’s meeting had nine corner kicks.

kinks early on in the second half,” Newton head coach Abby Lamont said. “We played a more offensive-minded formation in the second half, and it seemed to really help our momentum.

Junior forward Kaytlin Ahn found the net for the first goal of the game and the season for the Cardinals. She scored unassisted to put Newton up 1-0.

Freese got into the offensive flow with a goal kick which junior forward Ryanne Rausch scored off of in the second half.

Rausch, who led Class 2A in scoring in 2015, kicked in her second goal of the night off a pass from junior midfielder Taylor Shipley.

Newton (1-0) plays at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Des Moines Christian. The Cardinals’ home opener this season is their Cardinal Invitational on April 16.

Spring sports have sprung W

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe’s girls soccer team outplayed Des Moines Hoover in its season opener on Tuesday but couldn’t find a way to crack the scoreboard.

The offensive frustrations continued in the

The Press box Jocelyn Sheets for a trap shoot.

Already playing at home this season have been the NHS boys’ soccer team and the girls’ tennis team. Newton’s boys will have three varsity golf competitions under their belts when they play their home dual golf meet against Boone Thursday. Tee time is 4:15 p.m. at Westwood Golf Course.

The Cardinals’ track teams have two home meets, but not until after being on the road for four or five meets.

Newton’s annual Cardinal Invitational is April 21 and the annual Cardinal Relays, which feature all our area track teams, is May 5.

Newton’s boys play their tennis home opener Tuesday against Grinnell in Little Hawkeye Conference action. That starts at 4:15 p.m. at Aurora Heights Park. And a shout-out to the City of Newton and Newton school dis-

first 10 minutes of its next match with Collins-Maxwell/Baxter on Thursday.

But when the Mustangs finally found a way to put the ball into the back of the net, the goals just kept coming.

PCM hit the post and crossbar in the first few minutes of its home opener with the rival

trict for resurfacing the tennis courts at Aurora Heights — I know the NHS tennis teams and all the tennis players of all ages in the city appreciate it.

Newton’s girls soccer team, which is ranked No. 11 in Class 2A in the preseason poll, plays two games on the road before hitting the home pitch at H.A. Lynn Stadium on April 16 for its varsity tournament. The Cardinals host teams from Prairie City-Monroe, Des Moines Lincoln and Perry in the tournament.

The two Newton club spring sports — trap and rugby — each have home events.

The Newton rugby team hosts several teams April 15 at H.A. Lynn Stadium. The Cardinals play Dowling at 6:20 p.m. and Waterloo East at 9 p.m.; games are two seven-minute halves and go quick.

The Newton Trap Team host two trap shoots on April 23 and May 7.

And there’s plenty of action all the rest of the time too. Colfax-Mingo, PCM, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Lynnville-Sully spring sports are in

full swing, and we’re covering it all.

There are sports and sporting events which I’m a casual watcher. Professional golf is one of those sports, but like most I follow the Masters in April.

My interest this year in the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club is it is Tom Watson’s final Masters. Watson, who is from the Kansas City area, announced before this week’s tournament this was his last time playing in the major tournament. He is from my home state and was golf — along with several others — as I grew up in the 1970s.

Just like most Iowans are interested in the PGA these days because of Zach Johnson, I’ve watched over the years because of Watson and Jim Colbert, a Kansas State graduate in the 1960s. Keeping up with those two over the years, I learned about some of the great golfers.

I’m cheering for Tom Watson to win the 2016 Masters and every other tournament he plays in.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MAXWELL — The opening minutes of the first Collins-Maxwell/Baxter boys’ soccer home match in at least five years couldn’t have started any worse. The finish proved to be a much different story though.

The Raiders fell behind 2-0 in the first 20 minutes but rallied to claim their first win of the season.

CMB trailed 2-1 at halftime but found the win column, 4-3, against Ankeny Christian Academy.

Sophomore Carter Fricke led the second-half rally with two goals in the final 40

minutes, while sophomore Ryan Sebastiano finished with a goal and an assist in the Raiders’ first boys soccer win since cutting the proFricke gram several years back.

Sebastiano put the Raiders on the board in the first half, and CMB never looked back in the win.

“We got a goal there late in the first half, and that kind of gave us some momentum and some hope,” CMB coach Chad Grandon said. “They realized

Tigerhawk boys get first victory, edge rival HLV

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BROOKLYN — Senior Mason Mosher and freshman Delaney Underwood both claimed top-three finishes Thursday during a South Iowa Cedar League triangular golf meet.

Mosher was the runner-up medalist in the boys meet after firing a 44 on the par 35 Brooklyn-Victor Country Club course.

That helped the Tigerhawks claim their first team win of the year as they shot a 188 and edged host HLV by one stroke.

Montezuma shot a 202 in third.

The C-M girls team did not have enough golfers to factor into the team score, but Underwood placed third with a 58,

while Skye Weber carded a 75.

Finishing behind Mosher in the boys’ meet was senior Zevin Lander, who shot a 46.

Senior Jacob Buehrer carded a 48, while senior Jake Jeter and freshman Ahren Teed had the final counting score of 50.

Sophomore Jonathan Jacobs fired a 53.

Freshman Skyler Aikin led the Colfax-Mingo junior varsity with a 56.

The Tigerhawks return to the Brooklyn-Victor Country Club on Monday to face host BGM and North Mahaska, both out of the SICL. Action starts at 4:15 p.m.

Soccer Continued from Page 1B Tuesday. We took even more shots tonight and once the first one went in, we kept it going,” Sowder said. “It always helps when you can get one in. Our passing this year has been really good. That’s why we are getting as many shots as we are.”

It was the first match of the season for the Raiders. Longtime CMB coach Gary Cummings got a good look at his squad against another team, and he can hone in on what needs to be fixed.

“We need to have better first-touch control and we need to communicate better,” CMB coach Gary Cummings said. “We need to put people in the right spots to be successful. We aren’t a very experienced team.”

Albright’s second tally ended the match early in the 61st minute.

The Mustangs (1-1) led 6-0 at halftime. They outshot CMB 18-3 in the first 20 minutes. The Mustangs converted six of their 10 shots on goal.

Isabella George got the Mustangs on the board for the first time this season as she made it 1-0 with 26:03 to go in the first half.

Wignall scored back-toback goals to put her team up 3-0. She sent the first one high in the air and just out of the reach of CMB freshman goalkeeper Cierra Johannes in the 16th minute.

“She’s been showing some really good aggressiveness,” Sowder said about Wignall.

“She doesn’t quit even when things don’t go well. When you keep going after the ball, you can have nights like that.”

Five minutes later, Wignall was in the right place at the right time for her second goal.

She was standing in front of the net when a shot by Waddell deflected off the right post.

Albright, who is playing on a torn ACL, put in her first goal with 9:26 to play in the half. She sent a shot from just outside the goalie box to make it 4-0.

“We keep a close eye on

at that point that they could play with this team.”

Sebastiano outran the ACA defense to score his goal in the first half. He then set up Fricke’s first goal in the second half.

Fricke scored his second goal off an assist from sophomore Devin Carson.

The fourth goal for the Raiders was put in by freshman Josh Bruntz.

Freshman Peyton Johnston sent a cross to the center of the field and Bruntz converted it with his head.

“We made some adjustments defensively from our weekend tournament at Newton,” Grandon said.

“We also changed some things up offensively. I just told Carter and Josh to go play and have fun. They did that tonight.”

Freshman Brendyn Padget earned his first varsity win as CMB goalkeeper, finishing with 10 saves.

“Cody Haugen and Drake Ross were very good in our back line of defense, too,” Grandon said.

The Raiders return to action at 7 p.m. Tuesday when they host Heart of Iowa Conference rival North Polk in Maxwell.

Iowa puts walk-on Nicholas Baer on scholarship IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa walk-on Nicholas Baer has been awarded a scholarship by coach Fran McCaffery.

Baer, who redshirted in 2014-15, was the most surprising player on Iowa’s roster. He broke through a deep class of Baer fellow freshmen, all of whom were on scholarship, and averaged nearly five points a game.

Baer scored 15 points in the Hawkeyes’ last game, an 87-68 NCAA Tournament loss to eventual national champion Villanova.

“I am so thankful that coach McCaffery gave me the opportunity to walk-on; he gave me a jersey, gave me a chance to prove myself,” Baer said. “It has always been a goal of mine to achieve a scholarship, and I’m thankful that I have achieved that goal, but more so I’m thankful for all of my teammates who have pushed me to make me a better player and the support I’ve received from

Hawkeye fans.”

Baer will take up one of the scholarships freed up when Andrew Fleming and Brandon Hutton decided to leave the program after the season.

Baer’s role should be expanded next season, as Iowa loses four seniors starters.

“When we invited Nicholas to walk-on two years ago, I had a strong suspicion that this day would come,” said McCaffery.

“I didn’t give him a scholarship, he earned one and that’s the greatest compliment that you can give to him. He just wanted a chance and felt like he would take it from there and he did.”

Baer competed in all 33 games this past season, averaging 4.8 points and 2.6 rebounds per game. He also ranked second on the team in blocked shots with 19.

“He impacts the game with his energy, basketball instincts, shooting, rebounding, defense, and he doesn’t make mistakes,” McCaffery said. “He’s everything you want on the floor, especially with the way we play. I’m excited about having him in our program for the next three years.”

her. She played well today, but I am still worried about her,” said Sowder of the injury.

“She’s going to play soccer in college so it worries me. Even with an injured knee she can still kick the ball. She’s a big part of what we do.”

Albright set up a teammate on the Mustangs’ next goal.

This time, she sent a cross to the center of the field.

It was a perfect pass to junior Jaiden Rogers, whose header put it past Johannes.

Waddell had some tough

luck early in the match. Several of her shots clanked off the posts and crossbar, but she finally got one past Johannes with 19 seconds to go in the half.

“She knows what to do,” Sowder said. “Even though she hit the post, I am still happy with it. She is trying to hit the corners, which is where you want it. It was good to see her continue to take shots.”

That was enough to give Waddell some momentum as she made it 7-0 just three minutes into the second half.

The lead grew to 8-0 when junior Dakota Hostetter darted a shot past CMB junior goalkeeper Amanda Harrington.

Wignall’s first career hat trick came a few minutes later, and Albright ended the first of two scheduled meetings between these two HOIC rivals.

“At halftime, we tried different things even though it didn’t show on the scoreboard,” Cummings said. “It’s a learning process.”

CMB (0-1) hosts Class 1A No. 8 Gilbert at 5:30 p.m.

Monday, while PCM hosts 1A No. 1 Nevada at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Astrograph

The sun and Uranus are getting closer in the sky as they commute to tomorrow’s special annual conference. Between yesterday’s passionate Aries new moon and tomorrow’s conjunction, this is an extremely creative, potential-filled moment. Set your intention; it’s like striking a match. The lit match will meet the wick tomorrow.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 8). This will be an ambitious time for you, as you see gleaming potential in a situation that’s just out of your reach.

Education will close the gap.

Put your time and money into that in June and don’t stop

until you have the certificate in your hand. You’ll take a road trip, meet like minds and find much inspiration in August.

Libra and Pisces adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 13, 2, 41, 48 and 37.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Go at the project with a mix of two parts logic and one part intuition. Why so heavy on the logic? Well, you don’t want to discount your inner knowing, but you need to test and measure extra carefully on this one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’re kind to the one who is kind to you, and you’re also kind to the one who is not.

This is further proof (if ever you needed it) that kindness is who you are, and not the means to an end.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Your optimism, based on nothing at all, is nonetheless wholehearted. This blind and buoyant optimism is the best kind of optimism you could have today, and you will be richly rewarded for your faith.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Just because you hold a certain belief for many years, that does not make it automatically true.

But because this belief has been with you so long, even when you declare it false, it will take some time to fall out of the rotation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Keep the receipts, because there’s a good chance there will be some returns later. This isn’t about making mistakes; it is about getting closer and closer to the very specific answer to your problem.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A feeling about a special relationship will come over you this weekend. It may even seem to you that the whole universe exists just to bring this magic combination together.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Nope, it’s not your imagination. You are being tested, and even scored in some way.

When you do well, you’ll be let deeper into a situation or relationship. This is where all

the gold is, by the way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Irritants can come in many forms: perfumes, pollen, people. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what or who is to blame. You still have to rise above the irritant. Tolerance will set you free.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your physical sensations are important, but not overly so. Be careful not to magnify their impact on the situation at hand. You’ll make gains by being tough, able and focused on the bigger picture.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The worry is positive if it causes you to make an action plan. For that matter,

mistakes can be positive, too, and so can arguments. Forward momentum will be caused by disruption.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There is more around to cause alarm than harm. Resolve not to let yourself get so apprehensive that it keeps you from the excitement of exploring exciting new avenues.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The grass grows all by itself.

Good! You appreciate this landscaping development, but you also know better than to waste your precious energy focusing on what is out of your control.

Newton boys defeat Bondurant-Farrar

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News BONDURANT — Four different players scored for Newton High’s Cardinals in a 5-1 road win over Bondurant-Farrar Thursday in a non-conference soccer game.

“For some reasons tonight, we played better with cold, wind and wet conditions,” Newton head coach Sackda Viravong said. “We won our first game a week ago with the same conditions. The bad elements forced us to keep the ball on the ground. We passed and controlled the midfield very well.”

Viravong said Zach Combs and Josh Ventling set the game tempo and the rest of the Newton players stepped up their performances.

Ventling struck first for Newton.

Viravong said Ventling made a great run into Bondurant-Farrar’s 18-yard box, collected a pass from Duncan Lee and shot the ball into the right corner.

The Cardinals took a 1-0 lead with 29:06 on the first-half clock.

Nine minutes later it was Griffin Engel scoring for Newton for the 2-0 lead. Lee was credited with his second goal assist at the 7-minute mark when Chet Adams scored.

Newton carried a 3-0 lead into halftime.

“The best goal of the night came in the second half at 30:39, when Justin Fischer smacked a 25-yard screamer shot into the upper corner post,” Viravong said. “I placed Justin in the left back position, specifically because of this reason — to score goals with his cannon left foot from long distance. A few minutes later, he dialed up anoth-

er long distance goal, lobbing the ball over their keeper.”

Fischer’s two goals boosted the Cardinal’s lead to 5-0. The BlueJays’ goal came with 11:29 remaining in the game.

Viravong said the key play of the night goes to Newton goalkeeper

Grayson Bookbender, who had six saves in the contest.

“Grayson made an incredible save in the second half, keeping the game at 4-0. I told him at halftime not to catch the ball because of the wet conditions.

There was a break away shot coming at him, he dove and punched away the

shot,” Viravong said. “He once told me he was 5-foot-8 inches, tonight, he played like a 6-foot tall goalie. That save was spectacular.”

The Cardinals put 13 shots on goal for the night and had six corner kick opportunities. Bondurant-Farrar had seven shots on goal and five corner kicks.

“Overall, it was a great team performance. We played better soccer when we stick to our game and our abilities.

It was a joy to watch,” Viravong said.

The junior varsity game ended in a 2-2 tie. Newton’s goals were scored by Jacob Murphy and Austin Johansen.

Newton assistant coach Steve Weeks said the Cardinals dominated almost the entire game.

Taylor Greiner posted a hat trick, scoring three goals for Newton’s freshman team. Ty Arguello scored a goal to push the Cardinal freshmen to a 4-0 win.

“I was very impressed with how well the boys played and worked together despite the awful weather conditions,” Weeks said. “At one point the track around the field was turned white with hail, down pours drenched all clothing, and the wind curved the ball all day, but they didn’t let that get to them. They executed great ball movement and forced many turnovers with stingy defense.”

Newton (3-2) hosts Knoxville in non-conference play Tuesday at H.A. Lynn Stadium. The junior vanity game starts at 5:30 p.m. and the varsity kicks off at 7 p.m.

Early test leaves Indy 500 drivers confident cars are safer INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Ed Carpenter and James Hinchcliffe left Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Wednesday more confident about the cars they will race in May. A new rear-wing flap should prevent cars from going airborne, as Carpenter experienced 11 months ago.

And new suspension parts should prevent drivers from getting gouged, which happened to Hinchcliffe last year before the Indianapolis 500 and left him with a life-threatening injury.

As everyone tries to figure out what impact the new aerodynamic package

might make, Carpenter and Hinchcliffe believe the racing will be safer.

“Just the way the car rides is different,” Hinchcliffe said after driving around the track for the first time since his frightening crash last May. “The beam-wing flap almost guarantees that you’ll never have those 180-degree liftoffs like we did with the three Chevy cars. And there’s a bunch of things they did with the suspension to prevent what happened to me from happening to anyone else.”

Hinchcliffe was fortunate that a quick-acting medical team saved his

life after a broken part pierced his upper leg. He said there was no trepidation of getting back on a track with speeds easily topping 200 mph, even in testing.

“Absolutely not,” he said. “If you do, you can’t be out there.”

The ramifications from a series of scary wrecks last season — including one that killed British driver Justin Wilson — forced IndyCar officials to take a long, hard look at how to make the dangerous sport of open-wheel racing safer.

Mark Miles, the CEO of IndyCar’s

parent company, met multiple times with drivers during the offseason to seek their input. The series also is looking at ways to protect drivers’ heads from flying debris, which is how Wilson died last August.

The series added new parts to its cars and scheduled an April test at Indianapolis — something that didn’t happen last year when the new oval aero kits debuted on the series’ fastest track. That’s why everyone was surprised when the cars started flipping last May. So far, the results look promising.

Spieth picks up where he left off at the Masters AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Jordan Spieth is off to another great start in the Masters because of the way he finished.

His two biggest rivals were left behind because they couldn’t.

Spieth capped off the only bogey-free round in the wicked wind at Augusta National by making a 15-foot par putt on the 16th hole and hitting an 8-iron into 6 feet for birdie on the final hole for a 6-under 66 and a two-shot lead, the first step in his bid to win another green jacket.

Jason Day couldn’t keep pace. On the verge of tying for the lead late in the round Thursday, Day dropped five shots in three holes and had to settle for a 72. Rory McIlroy pulled to within two shots of the lead until he made two bogeys over the last three holes.

When a day of big wind, big numbers and far too many putts for Ernie Els was finally over, it felt as though nothing had changed from last year.

Spieth is the man to beat at the Masters.

He was atop the leaderboard for the fifth straight round, and he has had at least a share of the lead in six of the last seven rounds at the Masters. One more and he matches the longest streak since Arnold Palmer in 1960 and the opening two rounds of 1961.

And just like last year, now it’s time for the rest of the field to try to catch him.

“We’re through one round,” Spieth said. “There’s going to be a lot of different changes.

AP Photo From left, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player pose during the ceremonial first tee before Thursday’s first round of the 2016 Masters golf tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga.

There are going to be a lot of different birdies, bogeys and everything in between. We know how to win this golf tournament, and we believe in our process. And if the putts are dropping, then hopefully it goes our way.”

He had a two-shot lead over Danny Lee and Shane Lowry. Three shots behind was a group that included Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose and Paul Casey.

Still in the mix were Day

and McIlroy, though both gave up a lot of ground in a short amount of time.

Day’s troubles began when he three-putted for bogey on the par-5 15th, pulled his tee shot into the water on the par-3 16th for a triple bogey and then sailed the green on the 17th and dropped another shot. When he finished, he was six behind the defending champion.

“I’ve just got to slowly try to inch my way back into this

tournament if I can, and be patient with myself, and hopefully I’m there by Sunday,” Day said. “But it’s a major championship. Things happen. And unfortunately, it happened at the wrong time today.”

Right when Day was falling apart, McIlroy holed an 18-foot eagle putt on the 13th and looked to be on his way in his bid to win a green jacket and complete the career Grand Slam. He was within two shots of the lead until he three-putted the 16th for bogey and missed the 18th green to the right, was plugged in a bunker and dropped another shot for a 70.

“If somebody had given me a 70 on the first day, I would have taken it,” McIlroy said.

“I’m a little disappointed in the way I finished.”

It could have been worse.

Bubba Watson, a two-time champion, had a 41 on the back nine and shot 75. He wasn’t even low Watson — 66-year-old Tom Watson, in his last Masters, shot 74. Adam Scott, coming off two victories in Florida last month, opened with a 76.

Rickie Fowler had his worst score ever at Augusta National by posting an 80, with 44 of those shots coming on the back nine.

Spieth simply picked up where he left off a year ago.

Never mind that he discovered a hairline crack in his driver during Wednesday practice and had to find a backup for the opening round. Or that he was hearing questions about what was

wrong with his game from not having seriously contended in the last two months.

Spieth was at Augusta National, a course that feels like home for the 22-year-old Texan.

“I would have signed for 2 under today and not even played the rough, knowing the conditions that were coming up,” Spieth said. “Just scored extremely well, which is something I’ve been struggling with this season. If I can kind of straighten out things with the iron play, hopefully we’ll be in business. But yeah, I’m extremely pleased with that round today. I felt like we stole a few.”

For all the birdies — none longer than 12 feet — the pars make Spieth look so tough to beat.

He settled himself early with a beautiful pitch across the first green to 2 feet. He pumped his fist with a tough pitch over the bunker and to the upper tier on No. 4.

He gambled with a 4-iron through a tiny gap in the trees on the 11th and made it pay off with another par. On 16, he kept his card clean by ramming in a 15-foot par putt.

By the end of the day, no one could do better.

Nine players couldn’t break 80, a group that included Els, who took six putts from 2 feet on the opening hole for a 9.

He played the rest of the day at 1 over.

“It wouldn’t matter if I putted with a stick,” Els said.

“When snakes are going off in your brain, it’s difficult.”
