Venture Homes looking to grow in Newton
Mid-American Energy announces wind power commitment
By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

ES MOINES — A major announcement Thursday by one of Iowa’s largest energy companies could have an impact on Jasper County industries. Des Moines-based MidAmerican Energy Company announced its plans to spend $3.6 billion on a wind turbine operation that would generate enough energy to power about 800,000 Iowa homes — an effort officials called the largest economic development project in state history. Bill Fehrman, the utility’s CEO and president, announced the company’s 11th wind project at an event on the Iowa State Fair Grounds attended by Gov. Terry Branstad and other state officials. Branstad thanked company leaders for their unprecedented investment, calling the project a “major milestone” in Iowa’s rapidly-growing wind energy industry. The announcement was the latest effort by Branstad to promote wind energy. Earlier this year, he pointed out Iowa, which also has wind-industry equipment manufacturing plants such as TPI Composites, Inc. and Trinity Structural Towers of Newton, is getting more than 31 percent of its energy from wind — more than any other state in the country. “Once the project is complete, the state will be on track as the very first state in the nation to generate more than 40 percent of our energy from wind power,” Fehrman said. The utility will create wind energy that equals 85 percent of its annual customer sales in Iowa with the
and becoming one of the first Iowan to win the 100-, 200-, and 400-meter titles at the state track meet on the same day when he did it in 1981.
completion of the project, according to Fehrman. MidAmerican is the state’s largest utility. “Our company has a very bold dream and that dream is to someday deliver 100 percent renewable energy to our customers,” he said. Company officials didn’t release where the roughly 1,000 turbines would be built, but said the utility will finalize locations while the Iowa Utilities Board considers the project. Fehrman said he hopes to have the project approved by mid-September, which would put MidAmerican on track to adding 2,000 megawatts of wind energy in the state by 2020. The power company already has wind farms operating or being built in 23 out of Iowa’s 99 counties since the company’s first turbines were installed in 2004, Fehrman said. Iowa Economic Development Authority Director Debi Durham, who also attended the Thursday press conference, said wind power supports about 7,000 jobs in the state. The latest project proposal will employ 1,100 construction work-
ers along with about 95 permanent workers, Fehrman said. The company is not asking for state aid to help fund the project, and Fehrman said it won’t come at the cost of customers, either, relying instead on existing federal tax credits. Clean energy advocates applauded the company’s efforts following the announcement. “MidAmerican made clean energy history today,” said Bruce Nilles, the senior director of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Campaign, “Iowa’s and MidAmerican’s rapid transition from dirty coal to affordable wind offers a game changing new model for how utilities will reach 100 percent renewable energy more quickly than anyone would have predicted.” TPI Composites Inc. personnel could not be reached for comment by presstime.

Venture Homes is looking to expand its footprint in Newton with plans for another house in the Fountain Hills development. The Newton City Council will look at the company’s proposal along with a slew of other business items at its Monday meeting. The West Des Moines company entered into a contract with City of Newton in 2014 to construct two high quality single-family homes. Also in the contract, Venture Homes gained exclusive rights to acquire any of the additional lots in Fountain Hills for $1 each through the end of 2006. The builder is requesting to purchase Lot 15 to develop a similar style and quality home as the two previously built. Both houses Venture Homes constructed in the development have sold. Also before the council is the 20162017 non-union compensation plan. It has been the practice of the city to give non-union employees the same pay increase as the agreed-upon contractual amounts as the union contract. A 3.25 percent increase was approved for the fire, police and teamster unions and that amount is recommended for all non-union employees as well. Because of salary changes, nonunion employees as well as union staff will increase their contribution to health insurance costs. Employees will pay 5 percent of their premium cost, plus 10 percent of the total dependent costs. Also, as of the beginning of 2017, employees will pay 20 percent of the increase of all premiums. The council will also look to award the contract for the West Fourth Street North Sanitary Sewer Extension Project. Newton Public Works has been contacted by the Jasper County Board COUNCIL | 3A
Board of Health seeks to include new doctor By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A new physician may be joining the Jasper County Board of Health. At Thursday’s regular monthly meeting, board members voted unanimously to replace the sole physician who holds a seat on the board. Since the threeyear term of Dr. Zachary Alexander is over, the board voted to recommend Dr. Stephanie L. Bantell of the Newton Clinic to join the board. Board member Mar-
got Voshell praised the idea of bringing Bantell, whose areas of interest include obstetrics, diabetes management, weight-loss medicine and cesarean deliveries. “I think she would be an outstanding person to have on the board,” Voshell said. The board will now recommend Bantell’s name to the Jasper County Board of Supervisors, whose approval is needed to formally appoint a new member. The other main topic at Monday’s meeting
was the ongoing effort of the recent formed Jasper County Public Health department to organize its facility and provide services. Director Becky Pryor spoke at the meeting — held in a break room of JCPH’s offices in the basement of the County Annex Building — discussed remodeling and expansion into what was formerly JEDCO Director Chaz Allen’s office. “It’s been tough, but we’re staying open, and still helping people who come in,” Pryor said.
Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Stacy Jobes, the maternal and child health director for the Visiting Nurse Services of Iowa, makes a presentation at Thursday’s Jasper County Board of Health meeting. An unrelated action taken at the meeting was to approve submitting the name of a doctor to the Board of Supervisors to potentially replace a doctor who is leaving the board.

Assemblies a key reward tool By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The Newton Community School District’s rewards typically draw a lot of cheering. If you have any doubts, announce to a some third-graders a dance party is about to happen, and listen to the reaction. That’s one of the reasons why staff at district elementary schools have a set of principles from an program called Positive Behavioral Instructional Supports, or PBIS, for the past several years. The main concept behind the system is to reward positive behavior and actions rather than relying so heavily on consequences or punitive discipline. Using a ticket system and rewarding students with small items, such as colorful pencils, is another element to the program. All NCSD campuses use PBIS in some form. Lisa Pageler, a special education teacher at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, said students respond better to positive rewards than consequences with the K-3 enrollment at her campus. “It really helps the academic performance,” she said. In Thomas Jefferson’s system, “Gold Pride” tickets are issued to entire classrooms. These tickets are entered into a weekly drawing for rewards such as a classroom popcorn party. There is also a “Rock Star of the Week” award issued. Not only is the recipient recognized out loud in a PA announcement, there is also a certificate and a small prize. “Red Pride” tickets can be issued to any student at
any time for “being caught doing something good.” This could be awarded for nearly any type of safe, respectful or responsible action. An accumulation of the tickets allows students to get in to a regular rewards assembly. November’s reward assembly was a dance party, followed by a December movie showing at Newton High School, a February board game party. April’s reward is an ice cream party. As the district moves from having two K-3 and two 4-6 campuses to four K-4 and a 5-6/7-8 intermediate/middle school building in August, it’s possible PBIS will look much different in the district in the years ahead. Trisca Mick, a school administration manager at Thomas Jefferson, said staff communication is just as important in recognizing progress among students as it is in sharing areas where improvement is needed. “A rewards program is only as good as the staff that’s implementing it,” Mick said. While there will always be moments when disruptive or aggressive action must be addressed, Mick said, the days of only addressing negative behavior are long gone. “Discipline takes away from learning time,” Mick said. “Whether it’s picking up some trash at a cafeteria table or simply following directions, it’s important to let students know their positive behavior is not only noticed, but also welcomed and appreciated.” Contact Jason W.

His career included the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Irving Trust Co., and Aubrey Lanston & Company. Dr. Jones has authored five books on monetary economics. O’Connor, class of 1932, led the Iowa Hawkeyes during the most successful era in Hawkeye men’s basketball history. He is a member of the Des Moines Register’s Iowa Sports Hall of Fame. The NHS Hall of Fame honors individuals and organi-
zations that have made exceptional achievements in their field, significant contributions to Newton High School, or unique contribu-
tions to their communities at the local, state, national or international levels. Nominees are garnered from the public via a nom-

The second truck is a wild land firefighting unit that will be used as the new brush truck. The vehicle will serve as a brush truck and utility vehicle along with pulling the fire department’s trailer. The bid selected comes from Danko Emergency Equipment of Snyder, Neb. at a price of $59,830. Also on the agenda: • A resolution establishing the Newton Downtown Micro-Grant program is up for approval. • Along with the program, the council will look to establish the Downtown Grant Review Board and appoint seven members to serve on the board. • Eighteen portable radios for the Newton Police Department are also on the agenda for approval.
Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Venture Homes has built and sold two homes in Fountain Hills Development and is looking build a third this construction season. The purchase of the lot will go before the city council at its Monday meeting.

Health Continued from Page 1A was Voshell presented with a statewide service award at the conference, there was also information discussed about a wide variety of grant programs and ongoing health concerns. The Zika virus was also a topic of discussion at the conference. The Center for Disease Control’s latest statistics show four Iowans have confirmed positive tests for the potentially harmful virus. “The trouble is, so many Americans visited one of the high-risk spots for spring break,” Pryor said. “So if there are woman who have a pregnancy after one of those trips, that’s a really high-risk group.” In other action Thursday, the board: • Heard from Stacy Jobes, the maternal and child health director for the Visiting Nurse Services of Iowa, about a statewide program called iSmiles. The program provides a free dental sealant to youth through dental hygienists, targeting school districts where 40 percent or more of the enrollment qualifies for free or reduced lunches. • Heard from Pryor about a $10,000 grant program through the Jasper County Foundation to obtain large quantities of sunscreen as part of a skin-health program. Pryor received approval from the board to apply, though she was unsure if JCPH had much chance of being awarded the grant money. Contact Jason W.

A second chance dream I
www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | April 15, 2016
Write On Kate Malott
had the strangest dream this week. It was present day. It felt like it could have been today only it was dark and rainy, and I was at a hospital. My grandpa was dying. He passed away when I was in ninth grade so it was strange to have to relive and return to this memory again, but this time I was prepared and comfortable. It seemed as if my whole night spent in dream was centered around his finals hours, planning for upcoming funeral arrangements and saying goodbye. The most vivid part of the dream was when I had the chance to tell him
everything I wanted to tell him that I never had the opportunity to do before. He was laying in his hospital bed and everyone had been in and out of his room all night. I had been waiting for my time to talk to him alone although the anticipation created a mixed emotion of half eager, half anxious. The room cleared, and then it was just he and I. He was ill, but awake, and alert, as relaxed as if he were having a cup of tea at the kitchen table. I got the opportunity to tell him how important he was to me all those years and all the years since, how much I valued all of our time together and how much I loved him dearly.
When I was in middle school, he got me a teal bicycle at the old bike store on the northwest corner of the square. We got it registered at city hall and I rode it from my mom’s house to his house almost every day. I got to tell him how thankful I was for all of his help. When I was at his house we loved to cook together, whether it was Bisquick pancakes, homemade goulash or apple turnovers. I got to tell him there’s nobody else in the world I’d rather cook with than with him. I got to tell him thanks for all the lessons he taught me about patience, respect and hard work. It was the best dream I’ve had in a long time. When I was 14, I was sad about the passing of my grandfather, and I felt bad for my mom, aunts and uncles, but I didn’t understand the importance he had in my life at the time. I was young, not as mature as I am now and not as
experienced as I am now. I’m not sure how this rare and memorable dream happened, but I think it has to do with the recent passing of old friends Cliff and Iva Mae Hummel as well as an ever growing desire to ride my bike again. When someone passes in your life, you should spend time to let them know everything you want to say before it’s too late. Make that effort, even if it’s hard for you, especially if it’s hard for you — they deserve the words and you deserve the opportunity. Some people don’t get that opportunity and that is why you should be thankful for everyone today. Call your friend back who you haven’t talked to in a month, tell your mom how much you love her or ask your dad to lunch. In memory of my Grandpa Albert Kosmach.

It’s just a thought So as I was driving to work this morning, I actually paid attention to myself. I know that sounds odd, but as I was going through my daily rundown in my head, I realized just how many things spontaneously slipped in there. I decided just for one day, I’d try to remember to note all those random thoughts I have as my day progressed. Here we go... Why is that idiot driving in the passing lane when she’s not passing a soul? Meatloaf is really an under-appreciated dish. I hope hubby give his eyes a chance to adjust to his new bifocals. I think I need to refill my flour and sugar canisters in the camper. My shirt sure smells good. I’m thirsty for Panera Bread’s green iced tea. These stupid recorded telemarketers! Will people ever understand the difference between your and you’re or there, they’re and theirs? I need a toaster at the office, then I could fix a bagel. Hmmm. I’ve never had a single voicemail on my phone. Wonder if it works. Wow, I sure work up a lot of obituaries for people younger than me! I wonder if anyone will show up at my funeral. I could sure use a nap. Ivan is a unique name for a baby these days. I should be due for an eye appointment this month. I’m getting contacts again. I need to bring a box of Kleenex to work. Wonder what the kids are doing. I can’t wait for the new seasons of “The Middle” and “The Goldbergs” to start. I need to start Christmas shopping. Smock tops. I wonder whatever happened to the girl that played Holly on the original “Land of the Lost” series. I need a couple of three-way light bulbs at home. I hope this isn’t a brain aneurysm. I think I’ll fry up zucchini for dinner tonight. Maybe minute steak and baked potatoes? I wonder how many fish are actually still in the pond. I wish wallpaper was easier to remove. Some people need to learn better phone skills. Geesh! I still want some Panera Bread green tea. I wonder if life was as fun for girls at Catholic school as the old movies make it out to be. Or was it just when Hayley Mills attended? I need to get some mums. What could I invent that would make millions? The spontaneous hayrack ride Sunday was fun. I’m not so sure I’m a fan of Windows 10. This is probably the longest I’ve gone without getting a nail in my tire. I wonder if Bobby Sherman is still alive. I thought making a list would be interesting, but what I actually discovered is I need to learn to focus better. It’s only 9:30 a.m.
Sexual violence is a widespread problem By Evy Tews Sexual Assault Advocate, Crisis Intervention Services April marks this year’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Sexual violence is a widespread problem in this country, with one in five women and one in 71 men experiencing sexual violence in their lives. This year’s campaign, “Prevention is Possible” focuses on ways that we can all help to prevent sexual violence. Everyone understands that sexual violence impacts victims and their families, but the effects of this violent crime on communities and society are less obvious. When sexual violence happens, it creates a climate of fear, anger, and mistrust in the workplaces, campuses and communities where it occurs. Sexual violence generates criminal justice, medical, and crisis service
expenses. Perhaps most damaging are the lost contributions of survivors, who have difficulty getting back to school, work and their families. Preventing such a prevalent social issue may seem overwhelming, but as this year’s slogan declares, prevention is possible! To prevent sexual violence, individuals must model healthy relationships and communication, intervene in bad situations, and challenge harmful attitudes. We must believe survivors when they tell us about their experiences. Beyond that, organizations and businesses can commit to no tolerance policies towards harassment. The mayor of Newton and many neighboring communities have already pledged their support towards survivors of sexual assault and violence. Crisis Intervention Services (CIS) works every day in neigh-
borhoods, schools, faith communities, and workplaces that have dedicated their time and energy towards violence prevention. You may have seen our flyers or our Teal Ribbon campaigns in your community. In addition to advocating for the rights of survivors, CIS hosts sexual assault and violence prevention trainings for students, teachers, religious congregations and workplaces. We know that our communities become safer when we look out for each other. As Vice President Joe Biden said at this year’s Oscar awards on ending sexual assault, “We must and we can change our culture.” For more information, or if you or a loved one has been affected by sexual violence, please call Crisis Intervention Services at our 24/7 confidential hotline: 1-800-270-1620.

Historic print of war hero available County named after Sgt. William Jasper The Jasper County Historical Museum of Jasper, Texas has presented Jasper County Economic Development Corp. (JEDCO) a historic first digital color print of J. A. Oertel’s painting of the Defence of Fort Moultrie that was engraved by G. R. Hall in 1856. The museum is hoping to reach out to all of the communities named after Sergeant William Jasper. Jasper County, Iowa was named after the revolutionary war hero. “It is our hope that this historic print will open a relationship with your county that will extend to our mutual benefit and consideration,” Darlene Nolen, the museum’s director said. “Plans are underway which will extend opportunities for our two communities to gather in mutual relationships of personal co-operations.” The prints are pro-
Submitted Photo Six days prior to the Declaration of Independence on June 28, 1776, a British invasion force attacked Charleston, South Carolina. The Battle of Sullivan’s Island near Charleston turned back the invasion. Sergeant William Jasper, a member of the 2nd South Carolina Regiment under the command of Colonel William Moultrie, performed the first of his many heroic acts. Sergeant Jasper recovered the Fort’s Flag which had been shot off by the British and using a cannon sponge lashed the fallen fag to the staff. Fort Sullivan was later renamed Moultrie in honor of its commander and the brave men of the 2nd South Carolina. Sergeant Jasper was later in the Siege of Savannah, Ga. in October of 1779 and was mortally wounded while attempting to rescue the regimental flag. Jasper County, Iowa was named after the revolutionary war hero.

Refuge after parents’ divorce turns into a prison for teen DEAR ABBY: I’m 17 and have been in a relationship since I was 13 with the same person on and off. I have been with him since my parents divorced, so you might say he’s been my crutch for a long time. He makes it clear that without him I am an emotional mess. I spend every day isolated from friends and family, while he spends his time with his friends. (I’m not allowed to be with them.) If I’m out with a friend, it is a huge issue. I love him and I don’t want to break up, but it feels like I’m alone even when I’m with him. I’m sick of letting a man make me feel like he’s my reason for being alive. I want better. I deserve better. I am so confused. Please help me. — DESERVES BETTER IN NEW YORK DEAR DESERVES BETTER: I am crossing my fingers and hoping that you are still living with one of your parents. If you have been living with this person, I cannot stress strongly enough how important it is for you to make other arrangements. You acknowledge that he has been your “crutch.” Well, unless someone is severely disabled — which you are not — crutches are meant to be temporary. Among the warning signs of an abuser is being controlling and preventing his victim from forming healthy relationships with other people. Another red flag is if the person chips away at his victim’s self-esteem by saying she/he “can’t survive without him.” That you want something better for yourself and know you deserve better is a sign that you still have some healthy self-esteem. So please act on it. End this relationship and don’t look back.March 2016DEAR ABBY: I am a postal worker. With wedding and graduation seasons fast approaching, please pass along some
suggestions to your readers: Before addressing envelopes, please make sure your address books are up to date. We do everything in our power to make sure all mail gets to where it is supposed to be, but you’d be shocked how often it’s addressed to someone who moved many years ago — or worse, is deceased. Be sure to include the recipient’s last name and try not to use nicknames. If the address is off by a little bit, a last name on the envelope is sometimes helpful. You might think everyone knows Uncle Bob as “Moose.” But as carriers, unless we know the recipient personally, we only know his or her proper name. And don’t forget to include your return address on the envelope so if it can’t be delivered, you’ll know the recipient didn’t receive it. That way, you won’t think that “Aunt Ann” didn’t want to attend or have her think she wasn’t invited. And last but not least, be sure to have proper postage on the envelope! Often, due to the size or thickness of an invitation, extra postage is needed. I hope this will help your readers. — MICHIGAN MAIL CARRIER DEAR MAIL CARRIER: So do I!

Court clears way for Iowa City tower project
are tasty treats on wheels
IOWA CITY — The Iowa Supreme Court has decided not to review a lawsuit against the city council, clearing the way for construction of the 15-story Chauncey Tower project in Iowa City. The lawsuit was filed by city council member Rockne Cole and the Iowa Coalition Against the Shadow. The high court’s decision Thursday lets stand lower court opinions that neither the coalition nor Cole has standing to challenge in court the council’s rezoning decision favoring the project.

Threat not credible, but school raises security ANKENY — Security will be increased Friday at a suburban Des Moines school although officials don’t think the threat that prompted the action is credible.

BURLINGTON — Some rabbits have learned there are some tasty treats inside Burlington school vans. District transportation director Mark Branch says a check engine light on one van provided the first sign: Its spark plug wires had been chewed up and an intake tube had a hole. Another van also had some gnawed wires. Mechanics weren’t sure who or what to blame. The mystery was solved when one of them popped the hood on yet another van and found a rabbit in full munch mode.

SIOUX CITY — Police say a 15-yearold girl has died in a rollover crash in Sioux City. Police said Alexis Wilde was riding in the front passenger seat of a vehicle driven by another 15-year-old Wednesday evening, when the vehicle went off the roadway and struck a dirt embankment, causing the car to roll over. Police say Wilde, the driver and another 15-year-old passenger were transported to a hospital, where Wilde died from her injuries. The other two teens suffered minor injuries.

DES MOINES — A 31-year-old man has been convicted of killing his neighbor in Des Moines.

Prosecutors say Kirwan shot and killed Hruska because Kirwan suspected his girlfriend and Hruska were having an affair. —The Associated Press
Iowa Republicans propose to defund Planned Parenthood DES MOINES (AP) — Planned Parenthood in Iowa would have no state funding under a budget bill advanced Thursday by some House Republicans, but the proposal is not expected to have enough support in the Democratic-majority Senate. The House Appropriations Committee voted along party lines for language in a health and human services budget bill that would remove Medicaid funding for family planning facilities in the state that provide abortions. Republicans in the House have proposed similar language in previous sessions with little success in the split Legislature. A key lawmaker in the Senate says the proposal would make the state ineligible for federal dollars that pay for the bulk of family planning services under Medicaid, which offers health care to poor and disabled residents. “We believe in working within the budget and why would we give up federal dollars?” said Sen. Amanda Ragan, D-Mason City and chairwoman of the Senate subcommittee that also approves health
and human services funding. Rep. Walt Rogers, R-Cedar Falls and a member of the House committee that advanced the bill, said the state would fill the gap left by the removal of federal dollars. “We don’t want that money going to organizations that provide abortions,” he said. “That is the issue that causes angst within our caucus.” Medicaid dollars are not used for abortions in Iowa. There is a measure that technically allows Medicaid payments for medically necessary abortions, but it requires approval from Gov. Terry Branstad and the Republican governor has never approved it. Chuck Hurley, a representative for The Family Leader Foundation, an anti-abortion organization, said it is “disingenuous” to believe state dollars given to the Planned Parenthood affiliate in Iowa doesn’t help provide abortions. He has been involved in previous efforts to defund the organization and he expects the issue to possibly delay the session’s scheduled adjourn-
ment in a few days. “The tension is going to be even greater this year,” he said. Other state legislatures have taken similar defunding action following the release of secret videos by anti-abortion activists that show Planned Parenthood officials discussing how they sometimes supply fetal tissue for medical research. Those activists allege the videos show Planned Parenthood profited from the sale of fetal tissue. Planned Parenthood has denied wrongdoing and several state investigations around the country have not produced evidence that it acted illegally. Planned Parenthood of the Heartland provides health services in Iowa. Erin Davison-Rippey, director of public affairs for the organization, said the budget language would reduce family planning services for low-income residents. “This is a politically motivated move that would ultimately hurt women and families in Iowa,” she said in a statement.
Tribe sets up camp to protest oil pipeline CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — The Standing Rock Sioux has set up a camp in North Dakota to protest a planned pipeline to carry crude from the Bakken oil fields to Illinois over concerns that a spill would impact the tribe’s drinking water. The “spirit camp” at the confluence of the Cannonball and Missouri rivers has been occupied for two weeks, with people coming and going in peaceful protest. There is no scheduled end date. People at the camp are sleeping in shelters, eating donated food and spending their days in contemplation, conversation and prayer. Willow frames for sweat lodges and a colorful prayer post stand beside the camp, along with tribal flags. The camp is modeled after one occupied for months by residents of South Dakota’s Rosebud Indian Reservation to protest the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that ultimately was rejected by President Barack Obama. The proposed $3.8 billion, 1,130-mile Dakota Access pipeline by Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners would pass through North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa on its way to Illinois. Regulators in all states have approved the project, but it still needs federal approval. The Environmental Protection Agency and two other federal agencies recently asked the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to more carefully review the pipeline, saying the corps should pay closer attention to the impact a spill would have on drinking water for Native American tribes. Standing Rock Sioux leaders also have asked the federal government for more environmental studies.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Keeping his head down, Newton High’s Sam Supino powers a tee shot off during Thursday’s home golf dual with Boone. Newton won the meet by nine strokes.
Cardinals sink Toreadors in home golf dual By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Derek Damman was in a bit of a sticky-wicket Thursday during Newton High’s home golf nine-hole dual with Boone. The Newton senior’s approach shot to hole No. 7 landed over the green next to a tree, and he had to figure out how to hit the ball in the tight space. Damman cleared the ball to the green on his second
try. He went on to be the meet medalist, shooting a 38 on the Westwood Golf Course front nine. The Cardinals were nine strokes better than the Boone Toraedors, winning the non-conference dual 159-168. Trey Vanderlaan and Austin Reynolds each carded a 39 for the Cardinals, and Payton Thomas’ 43 was the final score for the team. Paul Maharry finished with a 47, and Sam Supino had a 50 for the Newton varsity. “I thought we defended our
home course very well. I loved seeing that we had three players shoot in the 30s,” Newton head coach Pat Riley said. “I believe these guys have the potential to shoot low no matter where we play but being at your home course is certainly an advantage.” Newton has a dual mark of 11-2 this season. “We are starting to get our swings down and shoot more consistent golf. My hope is that the guys will just continue to improve and play their
best golf at the end of the season,” Riley said. Newton’s junior varsity also played in the home meet Thursday. It had a four-player total of 194. The Cardinal junior varsity was led by Nate Vanzee, who shot a 46 to lead all junior varsity scores. Colin McAnally shot a season’s-best 47 followed by Shaiden Simmons with a 50 and Rhandyn Oldfield with a 51 to round out the top four junior varsity scores.
Newton’s other junior varsity scores were: Devon Young with a 54, Evan Walker with a 58, Joe Ross with a 59, Parker Schuster with a 61, Michael Hodnett with a 70 and Grant Fitzgerald with a 72. Newton’s varsity plays at 8 a.m. Saturday in the Knoxville Invitational, an 18-hole tournament at Pine Knolls Country Club.

Eagles defeat Cardinal girls in LHC tennis By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — Two thirdset tiebreakers did not go Newton High’s way Thursday, one did but it wasn’t enough to turn the tide for the Cardinal girls against host Pella Christian. Newton head coach Erick Zehr said going into the Little Hawkeye Conference dual the Eagles will be contending for the conference title. The Cardinals ended up losing 7-4. “Pella Christian is a very good team — deep, well-rounded, strong players top to bottom,” Zehr said. “Our girls played well today, and did a great job being competitive in difficult circumstances.” Megan Pressgrove claimed a third-set tiebreaker win over Pella
Christian’s Brooke Jorgensen in the No. 1 singles match. Pressgrove rallied after losing the first set for a 1-6, 6-4 (7) victory. Newton won only two of the six singles matches. Katherine Thorpe posted a 7-6 (5), 7-5 win over Abbie Vander Molen at No. 4 singles. In the No. 2 singles match, the Eagles’ Rachel Tvedt defeated Newton’s Katie Wyre in a third-set tiebreaker, 5-7, 6-0 (4). Newton’s Sierra Griffith dropped a 6-1, 6-2 decision to Andrea Carballo at No. 3 singles. Pella Christian’s Holly Milby beat Newton’s Madison Humphrey 6-4, 6-1 at No. 5 singles. Bethany Baumgartner stepped up to play No. 6 singles for Newton, losing 6-2, 7-6 (5) to Bethany Van Kooten. Pressgrove and Wyre
Weather, Royals are on track now M
y thoughts on sports this week are all over the place, so bear with me. On the local front, we — area athletes, coaches fans and sports writers — all endured and endeavored to get through the Iowa spring weather the past week. Right now, we love the weather when a week ago — or just on Monday — we were shaking our fists at Mother Nature. I remember heading out of the office on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, and setting out to Grinnell to cover Newton’s track teams at the Little Hawkeye Conference indoor meet. It was a short-sleeved, no-jacket day outside and I was going to cover an indoor sporting event. I thought just wait
rolled to a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Jorgensen and Tvedt in the No. 1 doubles match. The other doubles win for Newton was at No 4 doubles with Baumgartner and Natalie Camp winning 6-3, 6-2 over Tristen Meinders and Sophie Vander Molen. Griffth and Thorpe played No. 2 doubles for the Cardinals, coming up on the short end of a 6-4, 6-4 decision against Carballo and Abbie Vander Molen. At No. 3 doubles, Pella Christian’s Milby and Van Kooten netted a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Newton’s Elizabeth Myers and Humphrey. The third third-set tiebreaker decision came at No. 5 doubles.

The Press box Jocelyn Sheets when outdoor season begins it will be cold again. Bingo. Area high school track athletes are eying times and marks to qualify for the 2016 Drake Relays. It’s been tough getting on track — pun intended — for the athletes heading toward the final deadline for the Drake Relays. Newton High hosts a “last chance” meet, the Cardinal Invitational Thursday at H.A. Lynn. While we were battling the cold, windy days to open April, just about 300 miles to the south the Kansas City Royals opened up the 2016 season with a win over the New York Mets at Kauffman Stadium. The reigning World Series Champions are doing alright. The Royals were 6-2, tied with the Chicago White Sox atop the American League Central, going into Thursday night’s game at

Houston. We tend to gravitate toward what we know in life. I’m a trumpet player, threw the discus and shot put in high school, a photographer and sports writer and an old softball catcher. A lot of my favorite Major League Baseball players over the years are catchers. Right now, I love to watch the Royals’ Salvador Perez. He is a great defensive catcher and the past two years has developed as a hitter. Take Wednesday night at Houston, Salvy drove in three of the four Royals’ runs, delivering a two-run home run to put Kansas City up 4-2 — the winning score. Oh, by the way, he has a great smile. The Royals are playing Royals’ baseball still — a lot of defense, small ball offense with a sprinkle or two of power. That was Salvy’s first home run on the season. Kansas City has seven home runs this year, two each by Lorenzo Cain, Kendrys Morales and Mike Moustakas. NASCAR fans in the area may have noticed I’m selecting 10 drivers per race in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Se-
ries for the Newton Daily News’ Racing Challenge online game. Well, I’m not very good at it. The main reason is I don’t follow the sport very closely, but I’m trying to learn more since we have two NASCAR series racing at Iowa Speedway each summer. My eye for racing is toward the annual Triple Crown run starting the first Saturday in May at the Kentucky Derby. There’s all the pre-Derby races going on right now. I don’t choose the winner of the horse races any better than I do NASCAR races. If I did, I’d be betting and winning. I don’t do that. I just love to watch the horses race. Attending a Kentucky Derby is on my bucket list, but I’m not sure how I would look in one of the Derby hats. For the 2016 Kentucky Derby talk is about several horses including Brody’s Cause, Outwork, Exaggerator, Nyquist, Gun Runner and Cupid. After American Pharoah’s 2015 Triple Crown victory, the 37-year drought was broken so again there’s is hope for another Triple Crown winner. Contact Jocelyn Sheets at jsheets@newtondailynews.com

CMB girls finish seventh at Mustang Relays By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News LE GRAND — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls track coach Jerry Meinerts knows his team’s seventh-place finish at the Mustang Relays on Thursday won’t look good on paper. But Meinerts feels like the Raiders held their own and are a better team for it. Coming off a win at home Tuesday, CMB failed to win an event against a field that included several Class 3A schools. “I am happy with our performances tonight,” Meinerts said. “We had several girls with season-best performances. I am proud of what our team did tonight. It was a tough field with a lot of bigger schools.” Senior Payge Jurgens led the way with a silver medal in the shot put. Her best throw was marked at 35 feet, 6 inches. The 4x800 team was third. That foursome of Bridget Hur-

Mary Schabilion, Piper Larson, Brianda Bane and Josie Wierson finished in 4:40.91. South Tama County won the meet with 114 points. Vinton-Shellsburg scored 99.3 in second, while Oskaloosa scored 93.

Cubs sweep Reds for best start since 1969
C-M’s Lietz, Simpson go 1-2 in 400 at Saydel
CHICAGO (AP) — Some longtime Chicago Cubs fans still haven’t gotten over the epic collapse of 1969, but their team isn’t into black cats or goats or any other excuse at the moment. Jason Hammel pitched six scoreless innings, drove home one run and scored another to lead the Chicago Cubs to an 8-1 victory and a three-game sweep over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday night. At 8-1, they’ve off to their best start in 47 years. “This is all about the players. I have nothing to do with this,” said manager Joe Maddon, who was 15 years old when the Cubs won 11 of 12 to start the ‘69 season en route to a second-place finish. “Our (players) and coaches have done a great job of prepping. One of our goals was to get off to a good start.” Dexter Fowler and Addison Russell had three hits each for Chicago, and Kris Bryant hit his second home run. Hammel (1-0) allowed four hits, walked four and struck out three on 88 pitches in chilly weather.

SULLY — Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter coach Josh Russell joked after winning his first team title as Raider boys track coach he had a long ways to go to catch former coach Neil Seales. Russell was pretty excited to claim No. 1 on Thursday night. The Raiders won seven events and finished second in five others and won the make-up meet over host Lynnville-Sully. CMB scored 169 points, finishing 19 ahead of the Hawks. Senior Brady Stover won three events and took third in another, while junior Jack Cheville won the 800-meter run and helped the 4x800 relay team to a win. Senior Hunter Gunderson won the high jump and finished second in the 400. CMB went 1-3 in the 110 high hurdles, 1-3 in the high jump, 1-3 in the 800, 2-4 in the discus and 3-4 in the shot put. Stover won the long jump with a leap of 20 feet, 4 inches, hit the finish line first in the 110 high hurdles in a season-best 16.27 seconds and was first in the 400 hurdles in a season-best 56.23. His third-place finish came in the 100 as he hit the finish line in 11.48, which was .01 behind L-S senior Sage Ehresman and .06 behind Montezuma’s Jordon Bender. Gunderson won the high jump with a leap of 5-10 and Cheville’s winning time in the
800 was clocked at 2 minutes. 13.33 seconds. C h e v i l l e’s teammates in the 4x800 included freshman Xander Huff, junior Tucker Maxwell and sophomore Stover Carter Fricke and that group won with a time of 9:12.87. Gunderson was the runner-up in the 400 (55.7), freshman Will Clapper took second in the discus (1311) and freshman Cheville Ian Thomson hit the finish line second in the 3,200 (11:06.9).

The top eight times at next week’s cutoff qualifies for the Drake Relays later this month. Vos made sure she was in the conversation when she blew away the field and catapulted to the top spot. Vos broke her own school record, set a new meet record and is the current leader in the entire state after finishing with a time of 65.64 seconds. That was one of the Mustangs’ five wins on the night as PCM finished in second overall. “We finally were able to run in some good weather tonight,” PCM coach Lindsey Cunningham said. “Our hard work day in and day out is starting to pay off and show in some of the drastic drops in time.” Vos and seniors Ashley Van
Vos
Van Gorp
Gorp and Emily Hugen were part of three victories and a runner-up finish. The trio were all part of the winning 4x100 and 4x200 relays. Joined by junior Tatum Nearmyer, the 4x100 team finished in 52.99, which is currently above the cut-off mark for the Drake Relays. Freshman Morgan Uhlenhopp ran with Vos, Hugen and anchor Van Gorp on the 4x200 and that foursome won with a time of 1 minute, 52.42 seconds. The Mustangs also won the sprint medley relay. That team of freshman Delaney Clarke, freshman Avert Stock, Hugen and junior Rachel Staf-
ford crossed the finish line in 1:58.33. Van Gorp began her night with a win in the long jump. Her best leap was marked at 14 feet, 9 1/4 inches. Success in the relays was a big part of the Mustangs’ night. The 4x400 and distance medley relay teams were both second. The 4x400 included Vos, Nearmyer, Van Gorp and Stafford, and they finished in 4:20.18. The distance medley relay included Hugen, Uhlenhopp, Stock and freshman Payton Schut and that group crossed the finish line in 4:46.61. The final top-three finish came in the 4x800 relay. That foursome included sophomore Amaya Hartson, freshman Kirstin Ives, senior Morgan Novak and senior Kiara Kappelman. The Mustangs compete at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at Montezuma.

ISU assistant Otzelberger hired as South Dakota State head coach BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota State on Thursday introduced T.J. Otzelberger, a top assistant at Iowa State, as its new men’s basketball coach. Otzelberger replaces longtime coach Scott Nagy, who took the job at Wright State after leading the Jackrabbits to the NCAA Tournament three of the past five years. Athletic director Justin Sell said Otzelberger hit every checkbox for qualities the Jackrabbits were seeking, and his style and values are a great fit for the program. “Otzelberger, who was in-
troduced during a news conference Thursday at Frost Arena, said becoming a head coach has always been his dream. He wants to continue developing a program so it annually competes to win the Summit League reaches the NCAA tourney. He also wants his team to earn a cumulative grade-point average exceeding 3.0 and sees each of his athletes graduate. “As we move forward and add to this great group, we’re going to recruit young men with great character who desire to succeed on the court
and academically,” he said. “We’re going to recruit student-athletes who are going to make us proud after earning their degree.” The 38-year-old Otzelberger spent three seasons on coach Fred Hoiberg’s staff prior to leaving Iowa State to take the position of associate head coach at Washington, where he spent two seasons. The Milwaukee native returned to the Cyclones in April 2015. Nagy led the Jackrabbits this season to a 26-8 record and a Summit League Tournament championship.
