Newton pair charged after 1-year-old tests positive for meth

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton Community School District Business Director Gayle Isaac speaks during Monday’s regular meeting. The board approved the 2015-16 budget at the meeting, but the most lengthy discussion of the night was about the upcoming bond election, which looks as though it won’t happen until Feb. 2, 2016. Isaac said trying to make a bond issue election happen on Sept. 4 would be “very aggressive.”

Bond election not likely to happen in September

Budget approved for 2015-16 school year

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Last year, discussion of the Newton Community School District’s annual budget went on for more than an hour at a regular meeting.

Monday night, the board had fewer than five minutes of discussion about the 201516 budget — and only needed about an hour and a half for the entire meeting.

In fact, the board spent

more time discussing the timing of an upcoming general bond issue vote than it did on the budget, which contains almost $39 million in expenditures. Setting a date for a public bond issue election to rebuild the aging Berg Complex, which was only on Monday’s agenda as a discussion item, was talked about at length.

The consensus is it would be very difficult to conduct all the steps needed to vote on a

bond during the Sept. 4 regular school board election. The next possible date the board could bring a multi-million-dollar bond to Newton voters would be Feb. 2, 2016, and while some board members were reluctant to agree to wait until that time, no one strongly pushed for the Sept.

4 date as viable, strong possibility.

A 22-year-old Newton mother and her boyfriend are charged with child endangerment after a 1-yearold boy in their care tested positive for methamphetamine.

The child in the care of Vanessa L. Trotter and Cody Sanders, 27, tested five times higher for meth than Trotter, his mother, according to court documents.

A warrant was issued for the pair, who were living at Hunters Run, 821 S. 13th Ave. E., after Newton Police were notified of the drug screening conducted on the child.

“We were the initial report to the Department of Human Services,” said Angela Dreesman, apartment manager. “There was a lot of traffic on the property for months.”

The couple moved out last week, she said.

Trotter and Sanders were arrested and also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia when they were pulled over in the 1200 block of West 19th Street South on Sunday. While searching the vehicle, officers found a makeshift pipe

used to inhale controlled substances in Trotter’s purse. The two were taken to the Jasper County Jail, where they each posted a $2,300 bond and were released Sunday evening.

Police said the drug screening test, a hair sample, was taken on March 27.

“The case was reported by a citizen to DHS. Without the assistance and awareness of the citizen this child could have easily ended up in the hospital and that could have been our first indication that anything was wrong,” said Newton Interim Police Chief Rob Burdess.

“That connection with the community, neighbors and apartment manager was really important in this case.”

IDOT to discuss improvements to I-80 bridge

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Newton and Jasper County residents are invited to attend a meeting to discuss proposed improvements to the Interstate 80 bridge the runs over the North Skunk River along with a second bridge over South 12th Avenue East.

Representatives from the Iowa Department of Transportation will be available to explain the project and to answer questions from 5 to 6:30 p.m. April 21 at Boulder’s Inn & Suites, 4222 S. 22nd Ave. E. “The main purpose for the projects is to replace the two I-80 bridges over the North Skunk River,” Iowa Department of Transportation District Transportation Planner Mike Clayton said.

There will be no formal

presentation made, but those who attend can find out about what property will be affected, a more detailed time table for the project and what work will be done in terms of replacing the bridges.

Clayton said as of now, the work is not scheduled until 2019.

Built in the late 1950s, the bridges are narrower than current bridges and are showing signs of age. The planned bridge that will run across I-80 is set to accommodate six lanes, although there are no plans to expand the interstate at this time.

“The bridges got to a point age wise that it is time to replace them,” Clayton said.

Western drought, slow rainfall in March might not affect planting cycle So-called ‘California’ drought expands across large section of U.S. crop region

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Tune in to any national media outlet this week, and you won’t likely have too much trouble finding panicky news about drought in California. While the California agricultural economy is one of the biggest in the U.S., the water issues in that state extend far beyond crops and livestock.

Iowa certainly has its share of non-agricultural water issues, but early-April rain and a predicted averages in April and May could still make the planting season typical for the Hawkeye State. Other nearby states reported drought conditions due to a dry March, but Iowa might not have been hit as hard as some of its neighbors.

The Associated Press reported last week that drought conditions expanded last month, due to weather that was warmer and drier across much of the western U.S. Weekly data released by the National Drought Mitigation Center shows moderate drought or worse covered 36.8 percent of the U.S. during the week of April 3.

The figure has ranged from 9 percent in 2010 to nearly 52 percent during the devastating drought of 2013.

The drought and market prices are impacting farm acreage typically split between corn and soybeans — and are leading some farmers to go with less-traditional crops.

Iowa crop conditions good, secretary Northey says DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented Monday on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“The weather has allowed farmers to get some field work done and if it stays warm and dry planters will be rolling across the state in the next few weeks,” Northey said.

Wet conditions continued to slow down fieldwork in Iowa during the week ending April 12, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Statewide there were 2.7 days suitable for fieldwork.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 17 percent short, 76 percent adequate and 5 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 20 percent short, 75 percent adequate and 3 percent surplus. North central Iowa reported the highest soil moisture levels with topsoil and subsoil moisture levels rated 95 percent and 87 percent in adequate to surplus, respectively.

Forty-two percent of oats have been planted, five days ahead of last year, but slightly behind normal.

Four percent of oats have emerged, five days ahead of last year, but six days behind the average.

Pasture condition rated 41 percent good to excellent. Pastures are greening up, but use by livestock has been limited due to slow growth. Livestock conditions were reported as mostly good with some reports of calving nearing completion.

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | April 14, 2015 | 3A Local News Mayor Hansen joins nationwide effort Art by Karen King to be displayed at library to recognize impact of national service

Paintings created by Karen King of Newton are on display at the Newton Public Library during the month of April. The display is sponsored by the Arts Connection, Inc. and is free for public viewing.

Newton Daily News Mayor Mike Hansen joined more than 2,630 mayors and county leaders across the country for the third annual Mayors Day of Recognition for National Service, a nationwide bipartisan effort to highlight the impact of national service in tackling city problems.

Hansen stopped by the free Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program with the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program. Given the many social needs facing communities — and the fiscal constraints facing government at all levels — mayors are increasingly turning to national service as a cost-effective strategy to meet city needs.

He called that cycle “very aggressive.”

Superintendent Bob Callaghan called the Sept. 4 election cycle “unwise,” and pointed out a 60 percent approval is needed from the public in order to pass the bond. If the bond doesn’t pass, the board must wait at least six months before returning to voters for another bond election.

Board president Sheri Benson said she didn’t think it was realistic to get the FRK design firm involved, present conceptual drawings to the public and get ballot language together by July.

Board member Robyn Friedman said she thought the January vote to pursue a Berg rebuild would have set actions like conceptu-

impact of national service in cities, to thank those who serve, and to encourage citizens to give back to their communities. The day is sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), the National League of Cities, and Cities of Service.

“I am proud to be

working with Mayor Hansen as we continue to strengthen communities through national service,” said Wendy Spencer, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service. “Mayors are leaders who get things done. They know firsthand the value of national service in tackling

city problems. I commend Mayor Hansen for working with us to improve lives and strengthen communities through national service.”

al-drawing completion into motion at that time. While the board was holding dialogue on reconfiguration in February and March, which resulted in putting grades 5-8 in the future Berg Complex, she wondered why conceptual drawings couldn’t be completed while reconfiguration was being discussed.

Callaghan replied that his conversations with Dave Briden of FRK indicated Briden wanted to know “what type of school we want him to build,” or what grade levels will be using a rebuilt Berg Complex.

Board member Nat Clark said he doesn’t think the board would have gotten any public education done in the past three months, regarding how the board intends to proceed with Berg.

When asked after the meeting if he is disappointed that the Berg process appears that it won’t result in a vote until February of next year, board member Andy Elbert said no.

However, he also said

the complex requires board action.

“I’m just eager to proceed,” Elbert said.

“I’m ready to move forward and help provide a new facility at Berg.”

No action could be taken on the bond election, as it was on the agenda for discussion only. Callaghan agreed to invite an FRK representative to the April 27 board meeting. The budget passed unanimously with little discussion.

There were only eight people in the audience at Monday’s meeting, and none signed up to speak during the public forum.

There is a general fund and six categorical funds for both revenue, which totals $37,158,407, and expenditures, which total $38,956,962, The beginning fund balance is $8,467,741.

Board member Donna Cook didn’t attend Monday’s meeting.

In other action Monday, the board: • Decided not to award a bid to either of two bidders for a threeyear external auditor contract. A 10-minute discussion centered on whether Nolte, Cornman & Johnson, whom the district has had on contracts for about 12 years, would be the better option, or the alternative, by about $2,000 for each of the three years of the bid, which is Hunt & Associates of Knoxville. Isaac recommended the district use Hunt & Associates, as it is a good business practice to get “a fresh set of eyes” for an audit every 10 to 12 years.

Elbert motioned to use Hunt & Associates, but eventually withdrew his motion to allow Friedman and fellow board member Travis Padget to research the topic. No further board action was taken.

Keeping Me on My Toes

Hearing the roar again

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | April 14, 2015

This past weekend I got to do something that I haven’t been able to in quite a while — watch Tiger Woods play decent golf. He didn’t have a stellar tournament, definitely still not back to his prime, but there were at least flashes of the Tiger I grew up loving to watch.

I first became enamored with Tiger during his big Masters win.

Sitting at home as a sixth grader, I watched as he dominated the field in a theatrical fashion. Far before the days of widely used Internet, Google and wikipedia, I searched the newspapers for information about him and checked the TV guide for the next tournament.

I grew up living next to a golf course and started playing at a pretty young age. My parents also bought a golf cart that was mostly used for joy rides with my friends, but also to hit the links on occasion. My grandparents are also big golfers and that furthered my love of the game.

I followed Tiger as he contin-

ued to win major after major and tournament after tournament.

Many people ask, “how I can sit and watch golf?” and I always reply it can be so exciting for only hitting a ball every five minutes or so. Sitting on the putting green and having a 20 yard putt go in seems next to impossible for me and usually a big moment for the golfer.

Tiger brought a lot of exciting moments, mainly because his long tee shots often ended up everywhere but the fairway. Watching him muscle out of situations to plop the ball right next to the hole made him seem like a super hero.

But like most super heroes, he did have a downfall.

I had never followed one particular athlete like I did Tiger. I like a lot of teams, love the Hawkeyes but aside from a crush or two on a former Iowa kicker and quarterback, I was mainly for the team. So when I saw on the news that he had been in a car accident, I immediately feared that

he would never play again. What came out later seemed so much worse. The fall of an athlete who you look up to is a very different experience and one that I learned from.

For as big of a name and athlete he became, I am not overly surprised that something like this happened. It seemed he could do no wrong and had the world at his fingertips.

The fall from grace was a rough one and hasn’t even completely finished. Tiger is just now getting over injuries to his body as well as his ego. His game looks completely different from long stretch of victories and a momentum surge

by Tiger doesn’t put the same fear into younger players as it did a decade ago.

Like I said, I was excited to watch him again. It was hard to see him fail over and over again in his game, not for his sake, but that he was “my guy” and I liked to watch him win. I do not approve of his escapades that got him in

trouble, and if we were actually friends, I would have a much different take on it. But we’re most definitely not and when people ask, I tell them I wouldn’t be able to watch sports or most any entertainment, if I couldn’t look past their personal life and only focus on the game. I don’t put much stock into any public figures nowadays and just enjoy the entertainment they bring instead of getting bogged down.

I hope to some day see Tiger play and maybe even go to the Masters Tournament in Augusta.

It would be an awesome experience to see not only him, but several other golfers including Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy who have been among Tigers’ biggest competitors. Maybe Tiger will get back to winner, even adding another major to his resume or maybe not, but it will be fun to watch.

Getting the word out to Iowa citizens is crucial to this effort.

Since I was one of many House members who chose not to participate in the Wiccan prayer that morning — but instead opted to gather with other like-minded individuals in an alternate location to pray and seek God’s wisdom and humility in the decisions that would be put before us that day — I have been asked by several media outlets if my abstention was some form of protest or if I was trying to set some kind of precedent. On the contrary, I was merely exercising my Christian religion according to my convictions.

This did, however, give me the opportunity to point out the fact that what I (and others) have done is not anything new. There is at least one member of the Senate and one member of the House who choose not to participate in the opening Christian prayers offered in their respective chambers each day.

Another House member chooses not to participate in the opening prayer time when a Jewish rabbi is leading the invocation.

Why is it that the press seems uninterested in covering these instances of legislators abstaining from corpo-

rate prayer due to their beliefs? Apparently, it is only newsworthy when Christians abstain from certain religious practices.

I have made no effort to hide my belief that our unalienable rights come from the God of the Bible and that I believe it is one of the primary functions of government to preserve and protect those rights.

My abstention on Thursday morning should therefore have come as no surprise and was hardly newsworthy.

One of the principles this country was founded on was that of religious liberty and tolerance.

Unfortunately, those who have been preaching “tolerance” these last few years have emerged as some of the most intolerant of our society and are currently at the forefront of dismantling what semblance of religious freedoms we have left in this country.

The issue of Religious Liberty and Right of Conscience is going to become more prevalent in the days to come. We are foolish to think that by choosing to ignore the issue, it will somehow go away.

What you wanted, if you were any kind of American, was to re wind t h e tape to just before the bombs w e n t off at t h e Boston M a r - By Marc Dion athon.

A n d Spider-Man would swing down on a web, defuse the bombs and capture the bombers.

Or perhaps some shirtless movie muscle hero, firing guns with both hands, a rogue cop, would emerge from the crowd and kill both the Tsarnaev brothers, delivering a pithy one-liner in the process.

“Looks like you boys bombed in Boston,” he’d growl.

I live an hour south of Boston, and I had friends there that day, though none was hurt.

I’m a reporter, and I worked the story, finding out that in the days following the bombing, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had been on the campus of the nearby University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

Spider-Man never showed up, which he does not, as he is a fictional character. No shirtless rogue cops.

Just regular cops.

Bullets. More bullets.

Twelve jurors and done.

And now the decision will be made to kill or not to kill Tsarnaev, cleanly and by law according to the rule book, in a building containing a room designated as the place where people are killed, surrounded by people in official uniforms, with all the paperwork filled out correctly. If it weren’t for the uniforms and the paperwork, you’d think it would be murder, but you must not think that, not now, not in America.

I have seen self-de-

fense, and I have heard of justifiable wars, but if you strap a defenseless man down and kill him, it is murder. Paperwork doesn’t legitimize murder any more than sunlight sweetens garbage.

You can’t serve justice with murder. People who believe that you can are either morally twisted or willfully ignorant.

Spider-Man never shows up. We are alone, battling to bring our instincts in line with our reason. That’s why we invented Spider-Man, because we want at least some time in an imaginary world where we don’t make the grinding decisions.

Shouting “kill the scumbag” makes you feel good. It’s simple, and it ends all discussion. By God, people know where you stand.

You stand on a corpse is where you stand, maybe someday on a pile of corpses.

And we worship death in this country. Bullets solve bullet problems.

More problems? More bullets.

Sure, we can kill Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

The big secret to all this bravura talk about killing is that you can kill anyone. It’s easy to kill someone. In the end, if Tsarnaev is executed, dozens of people will be needed to get it done, as though he were some hugely powerful figure who could only be defeated by a horde of brave warriors.

It won’t be that way at all, of course. They’ll kill him the way you’d put a sick dog to sleep.

It’ll be a dirty little business because turning a person into meat is always a dirty little business.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is a murderer. Are you?

Husband’s family meetings leave wife out of the loop

DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Rory,” and I both come from close families. Whenever something is wrong, troublesome, etc., in either of our families, we have meetings where the entire immediate family comes together to discuss the issue.

The problem is, I am not invited to his! It’s not like I’m a recent addition to this family. Rory and I dated for 15 years before getting married. My family started inviting him to our meetings after we had dated for a year, including discussions about my dad losing his job, my brother’s stint in rehab and more.

Rory’s family has had lots of similar meetings, but I am excluded because I am not a blood relative. Even when my husband lost his job, I was not invited to attend. I was left sitting out in the hallway with the children and the boyfriend of one of his other siblings.

I am Rory’s WIFE. Shouldn’t I be allowed in on the family discussions now that we’re married, especially ones that center on my husband?

Am I overreacting because I’m so angry about this? How can I overcome this exclusion from his family? — WANTS TO JOIN IN DEAR WANTS TO JOIN IN: You are not overreacting. If you haven’t done so already, discuss this with your husband. He is the one who needs to make his family understand you are now a full-fledged member of the clan.

If their line of thinking is followed to its logical conclusion, then no man or woman who marries in is fully accepted. “What God has joined together, let no man put asunder,” the saying goes.

The tradition in Rory’s family creates division, and it isn’t healthy.

DEAR ABBY: I have a suggestion for your readers. When you attend a funeral or a wake, or meet a friend or relative who has been recently widowed, DON’T say, “If there is anything I can do, just ask.” Call the person in the near future and invite him

or her to dinner with you. It doesn’t have to be a steak dinner or anything fancy. A home-cooked pot roast would be wonderful.

Of all my friends, only one has done this several times. The phone rings and he’ll say, “We’re having spaghetti tonight. Would you like to come over?

We’ll throw in another meatball.” I get so tired of going out alone to eat, or settling for a sandwich. — GRATEFUL WIDOWER IN ILLINOIS DEAR GRATEFUL: When a death happens, sometimes people are well-intentioned, but they feel awkward and don’t know what to do.

Thank you for writing and giving me the opportunity to remind them that it isn’t the FOOD as much as it is the FELLOWSHIP that matters at a time like this.

DEAR ABBY: The subject is email, which is how so many of us communicate nowadays. When one gets an email from a friend or relative, it seems to me only common courtesy in most cases to acknowledge it with a response, if only to say thanks. The reply need not be immediate, but there should be one, I think. Many people just don’t reply. What do you think? — TOM IN PALO ALTO DEAR TOM: I think some people may be too busy to respond, particularly if the communication doesn’t seem important or contain a question.

Bag of raccoon carcasses mistaken for bag of puppies SIBLEY — Authorities say what seemed to be a bag of dead puppies dumped near a bridge in northwestern Iowa has turned out to be a bag of skinned raccoon carcasses. The Osceola County Sheriff ’s Office says the bag was found north of Sibley on April 6 and appeared to have been left near the bridge sometime last fall. But on Monday senior conservation officer Greg Harson with the Iowa Natural Resources Department said the carcasses were those of raccoons.

The three-month sentences handed down in federal court are noteworthy because only a handful of cases of corporate misconduct end with executives behind bars. The extent of harm caused by the outbreak and the pattern of problems led to the decision for jail time.

—The Associated Press

Lincoln’s assassination remembered 150 years later Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott became very interested in Abraham Lincoln several years ago after reading Doris Kearns Goodwin’s book “A Team of Rivals.” Lincoln has become a passion of Parrott’s, he Parrott said, and he’s become a student of Abraham Lincoln, the first president to be assassinated.

“While studying Lincoln it occurred to me that many of the things that he did and said are applicable to our lives today,” Parrott said. “I believe that people relate to Lincoln because his life began in the most meager surroundings and he rose to the top through ambition and hard work. We compare current leaders to the example that Lincoln set.”

On the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s death, Parrott shares with us his story, “A night at the theatre.”

A night at the theatre April 14, 1865 Washington D.C.

By Dennis Parrott Special to Newton Daily News Lincoln’s party of four, which included Clara Harris, daughter of New York Senator Ira Harris, Major Henry Rathbone and Mary Lincoln, arrived late around 8:30 p.m. and made its way up the staircase to the dress circle at Ford’s Theatre to watch the comedy “Our American Cousin.”

Ford’s Theatre was a converted Baptist church on 10th Street that was reopened in 1863 after a fire. The theatre had seating for 2,400 people including eight private boxes. When the president attended the theatre he sat in Box 7 which was known as the “presidential box.” Since Lincoln had invited guests for

this evening the divider connecting stage Box 7 and Box 8 was moved to create a more spacious area for the president and his guests. Both boxes could be locked from the outside but on this evening only the lock on the door to Box 7 was working. The lock on the door of Box 8 had not worked for some time.

When the party appeared in their stage box, both spectators and actors rose to their feet and welcomed them as the orchestra played “Hail to the Chief.” Lincoln responded by bowing to the audience showing his appreciation. Lincoln’s spirits were upbeat even though the years of war had left him looking haggard and aged beyond his 56 years. He took pleasure in just having come from Richmond, where slaves too many to count cheered him as their liberator, but most of all he felt like the weight of the Civil War had been lifted from his shoulders with the surrender of Robert E. Lee to General Grant at Appomattox.

Earlier in the day during a carriage ride with Mrs. Lincoln he said “I consider this day, the war, has come to a close” and added “we must both be more cheerful in the future — between the war and the loss of our darling Willie — we have both been very miserable.” The Lincoln’s 11-year-old son, Willie Lincoln, died in 1862 at the White House of typhoid fever. Mary Lincoln told Francis Carpenter, the New York State portrait painter who lived at the White House for six months, that she had never seen him so “cheerful,” that his manner was even playful.

John Wilkes Booth arrived at Ford’s Theatre around 9:30 p.m. leaving his horse with Ned Spangler while Booth went to a nearby tavern to get a whiskey. As soon as Booth had gone into the theatre Spangler turned the horse over to Joseph Burroughs a theatre errand boy known as “Peanuts.” About 10 p.m.

Booth made his way up the stairs to the dress circle toward the “presidential box”

passing Lieutenant A.M. Crawford and Captain Theodore McGowan. Neither man had any idea what Booth was up to and made no attempt to stop him.

Shortly after 10:15 p.m. during the second scene of the third act of the play, John Wilkes Booth approached the president’s box. There was no one for Booth to contend with. John Parker, Lincoln’s designated bodyguard, left the theatre for a drink at the Taltavul Saloon and would be back to protect Lincoln again once the play was over in accordance with the arrangements of his security detail.

Booth entered the vestibule, closed the door behind him and wedged the bar that he had left earlier, in the door.

He looked through the hole in the door to box 7 to see where Lincoln was sitting.

Booth waited patiently for the line from the actors that would make the audience roar with laughter. Mary Lincoln, clutching her husband said “What will Miss Harris think of my hanging onto you so?”

Lincoln with a smile spoke his last words, “She won’t think anything about it.”

Just as the most popular laugh line of the play was delivered and with the audience in an enjoyable uproar Booth entered Lincoln’s box, cocked his 0.44 caliber derringer, pointed the gun at the president and fired. As the heavy blue-gray smoke rose Major Rathbone tried to get to Booth. Booth pulled a knife

and slashed Rathbone’s upper arm. Being free to escape Booth leaped over the railing of Lincoln’s theatre box.

Catching the spur of his boot on the flag that draped the railing of the box he fell awkwardly onto the stage breaking his left leg. Booth rose to his feet and shouted the words “Sic Semper Tyrannis!”

(Thus always to tyrants) and escaped the theatre. Grabbing his horse from “Peanuts” Booth needlessly struck the boy knocking him to the ground and disappeared into the night.

The audience was stunned and when Clara Harris screamed that the president had been shot pandemonium broke out. Men tried desperately to break into the president’s box through the door that Booth had barred. Once Rathbone was able to unbar the door letting the crowd in, Dr. Charles Leale, a 23 year old having just received his medical diploma a month earlier, attended to Lincoln.

The president’s last hours were now at hand. It was determined that Lincoln would be moved out of the theatre to a more comfortable place.

The White House was seven blocks away and the attending doctors didn’t think the president could survive the jarring ride to get there.

Now, less than a half hour after Lincoln had been shot he was moved across the street from the theatre to a small 9 foot by 17 foot bedroom in the Peterson House.

The six-feet four-inch body of the president was laid diagonally across the bed, his boots dangling off the side. A few minutes later Mary Lincoln entered the room. Viewing her husband, she dropped to her knees at his bedside.

Through her tears she pleaded for Lincoln to speak to her, but he could not. Shortly thereafter Mary Lincoln was escorted to another room in the house and was attended to by Elizabeth Dixon.

A close friend. Dr. Taft got Lincoln to swallow a diluted teaspoon of brandy but the president’s breathing had

become labored, his pulse was at 44 beats a minute and his eyelids were swollen and darkened.

After his clothing was removed they found in Lincoln’s pockets two pairs of spectacles, a linen handkerchief with A. Lincoln embroidered in red, a brown wallet with a five dollar confederate note, an ivory handled knife, a very nice pocket watch, a sleeve button with the letter L on it, and some newspaper clippings.

Through the night Lincoln continued to slip away.

Robert Lincoln, standing near his father was in tears.

Around 1:15 a.m. Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton went to Lincoln’s bedside to check on his condition and returned to the parlor stating, “there is no hope.” At about 2 a.m. Dr. Barnes inserted a probe into the wound in the back of Lincoln’s head in an attempt to find the bullet, but without success. Around 6:25 a.m. his vital signs showed that he was taking about 22 breaths a minute. By 7 a.m. the 25 people in the room had come to the realization that Lincoln’s life was near the end.

Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, stopped breathing at 7:22 a.m. Saturday, April 15, 1865.

Surgeon General Barnes placed Lincoln’s hands across his chest. Everyone stood motionless and no one spoke a word. The Rev. Gurley said a prayer and a shaken Stanton spoke the words that will live forever “Now he belongs to the ages.”

Abraham Lincoln, March 4, 1865 Second Inaugural Address “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”

This & That

The spring season is a grind

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton sophomore Joe Stammeyer returns a shot during his No. 2 singles match Monday at home against Marshalltown. The Cardinal boys opened the season at home losing the dual with the visiting Bobcats.

NHS boys come up short on tennis courts

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s boys are young and inexperienced on the tennis court. Cardinal head coach Nick Hoskins knew that fact heading into the 2015 season.

“With only one returning singles player, I was not sure what to expect going into our meet tonight,” Hoskins said of Newton’s season-opener at home Monday against Marshalltown.

“Our doubles teams are not settled yet, and the weather

has not helped us the past week in practicing outside to have opportunities to work on our doubles games.”

With that said, the Cardinal boys met Marshalltown’s Bobcats on the Aurora Heights Park tennis courts Monday and came out with

Cardinal girl golfers tee off the season

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News URBANDALE — “It’s a start,” Newton High girls’ golf head coach Scott Enyart said of the Cardinals’ thirdplace finish at Monday’s Urbandale Invitational.

“Our girls know they have things to improve on to help our scores go lower. We saw a lot of good things out there today, but we believe we can play better. The really good thing is we get right back at it Tuesday.”

Newton opened its 2015 golf season with a 206 four-player score on the Urbandale Golf and Country Club golf course. Johnston won the six-team event with a low 188 followed by West

Des Moines Valley at 192.

Urbandale was fourth on its home course with a 214. Ankeny shot a 253 for fifth followed by Ames at 260.

Newton junior Jessica Reynolds carded a 46 to finish in a three-way tie for fourth place. Kelli Borman of JohnReynolds ston won the meet with a 43 followed by Valley’s Sony Shah with a 44 and Urbandale’s Abby Burton with a 45.

Newton girls dominate in Marshalltown

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — Five of the 11 matches contested Monday at Marshalltown between Newton High’s Cardinal girls and Marshalltown’s Bobcats went to tiebreakers. The Cardinal tennis players won four of the matches propelling Newton to a dominating 11-1 dual victory.

“I was very happy with our performance tonight.

We are a very inexperienced team, and we have a lot to learn and improve on, but it is always good to start the season on a positive note,” said Erick Zehr, Newton head coach. “It was good to get the win,

but it was even better to see ever yone playing well for the majority of their matches.”

Newton’s No. Heisdorffer 1 singles p l a y e r McKenna Heisdorffer, a senior, rallied from a firstset loss to defeat Marshalltown’s Megan Riemenschneider, 4-6, 6-0, 1 (4). Junior Sierra Griffith posted a 6-3, 7-5 win for Newton over Immaculate Edwin in the No. 2 singles match.

C-M’s Abel wins, PCM takes third as team

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo’s Brady DeJoode attempts a long putt during action at Terrace Hills Golf Course on Monday.

DeJoode shot an 83 and tied for sixth on the day. The Tigerhawks were fifth as a team after carding a 260.

ALTOONA — Colfax-Mingo’s Jimmy Abel proved right out of the gate that he will be a force to reckon with this season.

Facing a handful of Heart of Iowa Conference teams and a few other golfers from larger schools, Abel was better than everyone Monday at the Bondurant-Farrar Invitational.

The Tigerhawks’ top golfer turned in seven pars, six bogeys and five birdies and finished with a 1-over-par 72 at the par 71 Terrace Hills Golf Course.

Abel was one shot better than Nevada’s Braydon Otto.

Abel was one shot worse on the front nine, but he won the meet with a two-under 34 on the back nine.

Nevada won the team title with a 322, besting runner-up Pella by three strokes.

Spring is here. And it’s by far the most challenging season for me as a sports journalist.

It’s not the sports themselves.

I like working outside. It’s simply the time and energy it takes to complete the dayto-day responsibilities.

Take yesterday as an example.

By Troy Hyde Three of our Newton Daily area golf teams News were participating Sports Writer in a tournament in Altoona while two of those same schools’ track and field teams were in Baxter.

By the time all the results came in, it was nearly midnight. It was a very long night for me to say the least.

But that’s part of the job.

The athletes, parents and community enjoy reading about people they know and I like helping to provide that.

It’s just not always easy.

It was a much smoother process when I was single and could sleep all afternoon to prepare for the next day’s grind.

But no one told me I had to get married and then no one said I had to have kids, either.

Sometimes life is hard, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Today’s slate has five more events. And Thursday that number grows to eight. Is it the weekend yet? Oh yeah, we work a lot of those too.

Oh well. Time to find an easy button.

Royals are only unbeaten team in MLB MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Kansas City has picked up right where it left off. Behind some torrid hitting and an impenetrable bullpen, the Royals are the only unbeaten team left in the majors.

Danny Duffy pitched into the seventh inning and Kendrys Morales homered in a 12-3 romp over the Minnesota Twins on Monday, moving the defending AL champions to 7-0 for the second-best start in Kansas City’s history behind the 2003 club that won nine in a row to begin the season.

“There’s a great mix here of young and veteran players that feed off each other,” Morales said. “The young players got a lot of energy, which helps the experienced players. It’s a real good clubhouse.”

Detroit was the only other undefeated team left until a 5-4 loss at Pittsburgh earlier in the day.

Duffy (1-0) went 6 1/3 innings, giving up three runs. He is 4-1 with a 2.37 ERA in his career against the Twins and is undefeated in four starts at Target Field.

“It’s a long season,” Duffy said.

“Obviously you hear that every day, but we’re just kind of keeping it all in front of us.”

The Twins lost their fourth straight home opener, though they still packed the place with an over-capacity crowd of 40,123 on a 61-degree day. Hunter tipped his helmet to acknowledge the standing ovation during his first at-bat, but the cheers were scant the rest of the afternoon.

The Royals have sure been rolling. Alcides Escobar, Lorenzo Cain on his 29th birthday and Eric Hosmer each drove in two runs for Kansas City, which had five players tally two hits apiece.

There is no game Tuesday, with the series resuming Wednesday night.

Raider girls edge NICL’s best at home

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — With his eye on Drake Relays qualifying, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls track coach Jerry Meinerts stacked a few of his relays Monday night and that may have hurt the Raiders’ chances in scoring points in a few other events.

But in the end, it didn’t affect the overall outcome as the Raiders won four events, finished second in two and were third in four others on their way to a team title in the annual CMB Raider Invitational.

Bridget Hurley won the 400-meter dash in 1 minute, 1.27 seconds and then anchored the CMB sprint medley relay to a gold medal.

Sailor Hinegardner and Toni Spencer went 1-2 in the long jump and Payge Jurgens won the shot put by nearly three feet.

Hurley’s teammates in the sprint medley were Maddy Poage, Spencer and Mackenzie Schmitz and the foursome finished in 1:55.95.

“This was a great team win,” Meinerts said.

“Trying to get some relays into the Drake Relays took away from points that we could have scored, but coming out with a win at your home meet is pretty special.”

It wasn’t easy, but CMB won the meet with 100 points, four more than South Hardin and six more than West Marshall.

The North Iowa Cedar League’s top two teams had 96 and 94 points, respectively, while Heart of Iowa Conference rival North Polk was fourth with 84.5 points and Madrid rounded out the top five with 61.

Saydel was sixth with 54 points, Ballard grabbed seventh with 41, Colo-NESCO had 37.5 in eighth and Colfax-Mingo rounded out the field with 21 points.

The Tigerhawks’ best finish was the silver medal they collected in the 4x200.

CMB boys track starts another win streak

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — A near sweep of the field events helped the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter boys’ track team get back on the winning track Monday.

Bryce Kemp won another long jump title, Hunter Gunderson recorded a personKemp al-best mark in the high jump and Patrick Girard collected the gold in the shot put and those 30 points jumpstarted a Raider squad that was defeated in an invitational for the first time since 2013 on Friday.

The Raiders finished with 138 points and once again distanced themselves just enough from conference rival North Polk to claim another team title. The Comets had 115 points in second place, while Southh Hardin had 83 in third, Ballard scored 68 in fourth and Colo-NESCO was fifth with 58 points.

Saydel (54), West Marshall (33) and Colfax-Mingo (9) rounded out the eight-team field.

Kemp hit 20 feet, 11 inches in the long jump and also won the 110-meter high hurdles in 15.14 seconds and placed second in the 100 in 11.56. He trailed North Polk’s Matt Cox by 0.2 seconds in the evnent.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Hunter Gunderson was the high jump winner Monday after recording a personal-best leap of 6 feet, 2 inches at the CMB Raider Invitational in Baxter.

Gunderson’s win in the high jump included a new personal record of 6-2.

Girard won the shot put with a throw 51-1 and was second in the discus at 12810-5.

The other win on the night for CMB came from Kyle Cather in the 400 hurdles. He

crossed the line in 57.17 seconds.

Colfax-Mingo’s best finishes came from Blake Summy in the 400, Colin Lourens in the long jump and the shuttle hurdle relay team.

All three were fifth. Summy crossed in 54.63 and Lourens hit 18-8.25 in the long jump.

The shuttle hurdle team included Jared Myers, Lourens, Sean Borts and Richard Blom and that foursome hit the line in 1:09.85.

Summy also scored points in the 200 and long jump, finishing sixth in both.
