Mingo man faces 2 sex abuse charges

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News A Mingo man is charged with two counts of sexual abuse following an investigation by the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office.

Lance S. Brown, Jr., 33, Brown is accused of inappropriately touching a female victim and giving her “medicine that would help her fall asleep faster,” according to a court document.

The victim, who came forward on March 14, said this was the only time she remembered Brown touching her inappropriately.

Another female victim came forward during the investigation, saying she remembered five occasions of abuse that occurred between 2009 and 2015 when the victim was between the ages of 4 and 11 years old, according to court documents.

Brown was arrested April 13 and taken to the Jasper County Jail, where he posted a $50,000 bond and was released.

On Wednesday, Brown entered a plea of not guilty.

Wittemberg Second Annual GOP Church to trap shoot a success open for events

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News State Rep. Greg Heartsill (right) shoots at the second annual E.K. Shaw Memorial Trap Shoot Saturday held at the Jasper County Gun Club in Newton.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Jasper County Republicans second annual E.K. Shaw Memorial Trap Shoot was held Saturday at the Jasper County Gun Club in Newton.

State Rep. Greg Heartsill and Brownell’s owner Pete Brownell were on hand for the event Jasper County Republican Party Chairman Marshall Critchfield hopes will become a marquee event for the party.

“Couldn’t be happier with the turnout. This is the time of year where everyone leaves on the weekend and gets loaded down with

sports and other events. To have the turnout is remarkable and I couldn’t be happier,” Critchfield said. “I’m also very happy that the weather cooperated with us.

We had a couple of scares with rain. This is challenging sport and rain doesn’t help it out any.”

Last year’s shoot was the most successful fundraising event the group has held in recent years and Critchfield said this year’s event topped those numbers.

“We raised a record amount of money. We just keep raising the bar and that is my goal, to continue outreach and fundraising, just staying on mission and

staying on point,” Critchfield said.

Taking the first place trophy was Harry Dearinger with Carson Claypool coming in second. Gary Kaput received third and was also the third place finisher last year. A honorable mention trophy reading “To the shooter who surprised us all” was awarded to Judy Davidson, a member on the state central committee and Scott County GOP chairwoman.

Critchfield wanted to come up with a creative idea for a fundraiser, something other than a traditional TRAP SHOOT | 3A

Newton hosts state festival

After the final church service was held at the Wittemberg Church last November, it was decided by people with familial ties to the church to establish the nonprofit Wittemberg Church Historical Society and purchase the building.

Jim and Roxann Wormley along with Brent and Suzanne Secor Parker formed the society with the first goal being to prevent the loss of the historical church, 662 Holy Ave., and preserve the building. Currently the emphasis is to collect historical memorabilia including pictures and document of the church and Wittemberg community.

“We are going to try to operate it as a museum and a venue. We are kind of at a point where we thought we should let the community know what we are doing,” Brent Parker said.

Starting in May, the church will be available to rent for family and community events including weddings, rehearsal dinners, baptisms, wedding showers, funerals, family or class reunions, various open houses or music recitals.

The church can seat approximately 100 people comfortably with the community room able to set tables and chairs for about 80 people. Not looking to make a profit, the society would just like to see the building used and enjoyed by the community.

“We hope to charge enough to just to cover out cost and make the facility available for the community to use,” Parker said.

The building has modern facilities with air conditioning and heat along with a full kitchen. There is a basement under the fellowship hall that is also available for use.

“The appeal to it is just the country setting. It is a county church and they are getting rarer and rarer,” Parker said.

The Wittemberg Free Presbyterian Church was established four miles north of Newton as part of the College Farm community in the mid-1850s. It changed to the Wittemberg Congregational Church in 1865 and in 1957 became a part of the United Church of Christ joining three neighboring WITTEMBERG | 3A

Nationally known teaching seminar coming to Newton ‘Capturing Kids’ Hearts’ set for June 23-25

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News School districts have long wrestled with the costs of sending educators

out of town or across the country for professional development. At least one organization is cutting out the educators’ travel costs by coming to Newton.

At its April 13 regular meeting, Newton Community School District board of education voted unanimously to have more than 60 educators attend a “Capturing Kids’ Hearts”

professional development seminar, offered by The Flippen Group, June 2325 in the Newton area.

The actual cost to NCSD wasn’t mentioned at Monday’s meeting, but the cost of $47,100 — including travel — was mentioned on the Flippen Group’s proposal included in the board packet. Each district is charged $1,800

for every trainer who must travel, and a second trainer will be added for groups of 50 or more, such as Newton.

“Typically, they require districts to come to them,” Superintendent Bob Callaghan said. “This is saving us a great deal of money by having them come here.”

Why banks made more money last quarter NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street and Main Street gave banks a boost last quarter.

Fees from corporate mergers and commissions from trading fueled profits at big financial firms. But average Americans also helped by taking out more home loans and paying off their debts.

Here’s a look at what drove the first-quarter results: Ultra-low interest rates led to a surge of refinancing and new home loans in the first quarter. JPMorgan Chase created $24.7 billion worth of mortgages, up 45 percent from a year earlier, while Bank of America put together mortgages worth $13.7 billion, up 54 percent. Wells Fargo, the nation’s largest mortgage lender, generated $49 billion

in home loans, up 36 percent from the same period last year.

The jump in mortgages is notable because winter is typically the slowest time for the housing market. But bond yields, used to price consumer loans, have remained low. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has fallen from 2.19 percent at the start of January to 1.9 percent this week.

Low interest rates are great for borrowers, but they’re not so good for banks because they limit how much money they can charge people for loans.

Bank of America’s net interest income fell 6 percent to $9.5 billion while JPMorgan’s fell slightly to $12.56 billion.

People are staying on top of their debt payments. Loans that were 30 days late or more — an early indicator of prob-

lems with a loan — continued to fall at all major banks. Charge-offs, loans that banks have written off because they have gone bad, also fell.

Major banks have been cutting staff, selling assets and closing branches to help boost profitability. Citigroup’s expenses fell 10 percent in the quarter from a year earlier.

The bank cut its employees to 239,000 by the end of the quarter, down from 248,000 staff a year earlier. At the peak of the housing bubble in 2007, Citi had roughly 375,000 workers. JPMorgan and BofA have also been cutting staff.

A pickup in corporate mergers and acquisitions helped several banks report strong results at their investment banking divisions. The value of global

mergers and acquisitions reached $888 billion in the first quarter, the highest level for the period in at least five years, according to data provider Dealogic.

That translated into big fees for major investment banks, which get a percentage of every deal they advise on. Goldman Sachs’ investment bank generated revenue of $1.91 billion in the quarter, its highest quarterly performance since 2007. JPMorgan earned investment banking fees of $1.8 billion, up 22 percent year over year.

Revenues at Goldman’s bond, currency and commodities business rose 10 percent from a year earlier to $3.13 billion. Goldman also had a great quarter in the stock market, with revenue from stock trading up 46 percent from a year earlier.

The Community Bank Board of Directors, of Indianola, announce the hiring of Troy Garton as a vice president.

Garton has been in banking for almost 20 years in various capacities.

Jersey Freeze opens over weekend in new location

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News After a short delay, Jersey Freeze in Monroe opened to an eager and excited crowd Friday.

Young and old alike stopped by the new location across the street from the previous building to enjoy ice cream, cookies and a new treat — pies.

“Right now we are featuring peach and apple. The pie flavors will be rotated as per customer requests. We have more new items to come as well,” Owner Lynn Donahue said.

The pies, which are also available in the new Pie Jersey Freezer, are from local shop All About Pies, owned by sisters Elaine Keuning and Amy Barton. There are also now seven flavors of Thelma’s Ice Cream sandwiches including signature snickerdoodle, double chocolate chocolate, peanut butter banana and cayenne chocolate chip. The

treats were created by former resident Dereck Lewis in honor of his great-grandma and also are available at his shop in Des Moines.

Jersey Freeze originally opened in 1992 in the building currently occupied by All About Pies on Highway 14 north of the downtown square. In 2000, it moved to its previous location and a bigger building, also located on Highway 14 south of Malone Motorsports. The newest location moved across the street in between Subway and Casey’s.

“The new location is bigger.

More parking, more serving area, bigger patio and more storage,” Donahue said.

The new building also has a drive-up window for customer convenience Donahue said. The ice cream shop was originally scheduled to open in late March, but because a variety of delays the date was pushed into April.

Jasper County audit available Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Woodrow Wilson Elementary School students cheer during a recent assembly. The Newton Community School District board voted last week to bring the Flippen Group’s “Capturing Kids’ Hearts” teaching seminar to Newton June 23-25.

Seminar Continued from Page 1A The exact site was not yet determined, but Callaghan said the Des Moines Area Community College Newton Campus is a possibility. Callaghan said the 60-plus Newton educators who have expressed interest in the seminar are evenly spread across the district’s campuses.

Berg Elementary had 17 staff members express interest in attending, as of last week. “Capturing Kids’ Hearts” is a program that works off of the concept that if a teacher wins the heart of a student, educational concepts flow through the classroom process much more smoothly.

The superintendent, through three surveys

The main church structure was built in 1868 and remained for almost 100 years before it was remodeled in 1952 and 1953. A bell tower was added in 1963 and a 25 bell Carillion was installed as a memorial gift.

The final building project was the addition of a Fellowship Hall, kitchen and office in 1978.

and other communication with staff, found the June 23-25 dates worked best.

Callaghan said CKH and the Flippen Group are both nationally renowned.

“It’s a very organized process,” Callaghan said, in describing the training. “The goal would be to have another 60 teachers go through it next summer, and then start sending smaller groups to catch up.”

In the CKH model, each class puts together a social contract about how the teacher and students want to be treated, and how each agrees to conduct themselves. The Flippen Group’s website describes CKH as a “dynamic, skill-driven, participatory experience.”

The main driving concept is that staff must model the skills and the

behavior they want to see in students.

Some of the stated goals of the program are: • Improving classroom attendance.

• More students taking responsibility for their actions and performance.

• Decreased disruptive outbursts and violent acts.

• Improved student empathy for diverse cultures and backgrounds.

There is a 90-day window wherein Newton Schools cannot cancel, and the April 13 meeting fell within that window.

All six board members voted to bring the Flippen Group to Newton.

Board member Donna Cook didn’t attend the meeting.

“The building is really in very good shape.

We’ve been doing a little painting and bulb changing but not really anything major. We are doing some outside landscaping but all of that can take place while we are using it,” Parker said.

Along with use as a venue, a museum is planned to showcase the rich history of the building and community that once surrounded it.

“Our main goal is to maintain the historical aspect of it. We’re going to operate it like a

museum and hopefully through time we will get more artifacts and pictures that we can keep in the church for people to come see,” Parker said.

Birds and blooms

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | April 20, 2015

There’s something magical about the spring discovery process at a new home. We’ve lived at our house for nearly two years, but this is just the second spring we’ve experienced it here — meaning the outdoors isn’t entirely familiar just yet.

Right now we’re in the prime for blooming bushes. A brilliant orange flowering bush sits out one window, while bubble-gum pink colored flowers shaped like pom poms are outside two others.

My favorite flowering tree is concluding its bloom with great fanfare — white petals spread around its base like a spectacular, seasonal skirt.

The lawn and its trees are steadily coming back to life and this year we’ve added a new feature I’m slowly becoming obsessed with — bird feeders.

I’m an amateur by all accounts, but I come from a long line of birders. My father, his parents and many others in my family are

knowledgeable and experienced on the subject of ornithology. I just happened to inherit an assortment of bird feeders from my brother, who moved to the suburban home on a lot with one tree.

When we moved to our home I made my son count how many trees we had; he came up with 43.

So while I’ve always successfully drawn hummingbirds to our backyards, my new obsession this year is the Baltimore Oriole. I’ve enjoyed this beautiful orange and black bird for years, but haven’t attempted my own feeders. The oriole is a delight to watch and also has a wonderful song.

I’ve read that you should set your feeders out in early spring because the orioles will scout where they’ll nest and can be somewhat picky. There are a variety of feeders for the oriole, but I’ve followed my dad’s advice and went with the kind that allows you to put orange halves and a cup of grape jelly out for the of-

fering. Now I wait.

Meanwhile, my other feeders feature your common sunflower seeds and Nyger feed. We’ve enjoyed a number of finches at these feeders and grabbing the binoculars and the book “A Guide to Birding,” has become common practice.

If there is a villain in my story about birds and blooms, it’s my dog. The German Shorthair Pointer is about beside herself worried about these birds coming near her house and getting her attention from her mom.

So while we’re enjoying the chorus of the birds, especially in the mornings and evenings, the poor dog is pacing near the patio door, barely able to handle it. Of course it’s in her blood — she’s a bird dog by design, though her actual hunting experiences have been few and far between. Instead, she’s perfected the chase of backyard birds.

Because I feel guilty the birds

have to put up with our pesky dog, I’ve decided to spoil them in other ways. I’ve added another mixed bird feeder and some suet. Later, we’re planning on adding a birdbath. It’s just my little way of saying sorry about the canine; I realize she’s a real pain.

I’m excited to learn more about these new critters in our life and I’m especially glad I can call my parents for advice along the way. In addition to birding, my parents are also expert gardeners that maintain three large gardens on their acreage.

At some point I really need to tap into their expertise to create our own gardens. My last attempt ended in a brutal takeover involving a variety of weeds I couldn’t keep up with. But again, this is just year two at our new place — one step at a time.

Bakken Pipeline not a done deal Angie Carter Ames The proposed Bakken pipeline would cut across Jasper, Wapello, Mahaska, Keokuk, Jefferson and Van Buren counties, posing significant risk to farmland, towns, counties and public health.

The project is currently under review and public comment is being accepted by the Iowa Utilities Board. Nothing has been decided yet. If the project is approved, Iowa’s farmland would be subject to eminent domain to

Local civil rights forum planned Fred Rhodes Newton On May 14, the Central Iowa Property Association is hosting a forum on Civil Rights protections and how to avoid discrimination lawsuits. The speaker will be Don Grove of the Iowa Civil Rights Commission. He will be addressing the topics of proper screening of candidates for tenancy to avoid discrimination claims being brought against you or your business.

Mr. Grove will also be dealing with how to handle and file on a “non-compliance of lease” and on a “clear and present danger” situation. This forum will be held at the Panda Garden Buffet on the square in Newton. A group discussion on current topics will begin at 4:30 p.m. with

further an out-of-state oil company’s profits.

Pipeline installation can cause decreased fertility on farmland from soil compaction and loss of microbial activity. The Bridger oil pipeline that broke beneath the Yellowstone River last January contaminated the drinking water supply of nearby Glendive, Mont. with benzene, a cancer-causing agent. The Iowa Code only holds the oil company liable for $250,000 in damages. It is clear that the burden of this pipeline would fall upon the shoulders of Iowa’s citizens.

It is upon us, as Iowans and as neighbors, to work together to

protect our farmland and the health of future generations.

Join with local landowners and concerned county residents at a Bakken Pipeline Community Meeting on Saturday, April 25 from 1 to 3 p.m. in Bridge View Center, 102 Church St., Ottumwa. Wally Taylor from Iowa Sierra Club, local landowners Bill and Pam Alexander, and representatives from various community organizations will be present to share information and answer your questions about this proposed pipeline project. The event is free and open to the public. Hope to see you there.

This will give time to eat and catch up on recent important topics that are relevant to the business of owning/investing in real estate and to learn how to make the business more productive and profitable.

In our society there are many dangers associated with business that could be devastating to your business and livelihood.

You work hard and invest your hard earned money to get ahead and build your business. Being more informed and up to date will help protect you from the dangers that lurk around every corner and can easily destroy all you have worked for.

The Central Iowa Property Association is a group of landlords, business owners, investors and other professionals who are interested in making the purchase of real estate a safe

and profitable business. They are devoted to providing safe and affordable housing in our neighborhoods, being fair to all the people that they deal with and to do this in a manner that will produce a profit.

They work to educate and inform all members in the intricacies of the laws of the state and how to operate their business in such a manner that they can avoid the pitfalls that cause many to fail and lose their investment in the property that their hard earned money has purchased. They are also involved in helping craft laws that will benefit our state and all of its residents.

All interested parties are invited to come and take part in this free forum (meal not provided). If you have questions you can call Fred Rhodes at 641-750-4185.

Religious oppression was one reason many of our ancestors came to America. They wanted to escape rulers who demanded that everyone worship By John Stossel their way. In Ireland, Catholics couldn’t vote or own a gun.

I assumed that because many of America’s founders came here to escape such repression, they were eager to allow religious freedom in America.

After all, the very First Amendment in the Bill of Rights says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”

But I was wrong. On my TV show this week, Chapman University economist Larry Iannaccone explains that many American settlers were just as tyrannical about insisting that everyone follow their religion: “In the Northeast, it was Puritanism or Calvinism. In New York and Virginia, Anglicanism, the Church of England. Elsewhere, it was Catholicism.”

Only when colonists tried to form a nation, and met with others who practiced different religions (or none, like Thomas Jefferson), did they put freedom of religion in the Bill of Rights.

So what does that mean today? President Obama tells religious people that he supports “the right to practice our faith how we choose.”

But Obamacare functionaries ordered Christian groups to fund employees’ purchase of birth control and the morning-after abortion pill.

Some religious people believe both pills are a form of murder. Would their president force them to pay for what they consider murder ? You betcha.

The Green family, which owns Hobby Lobby, sued, and the Supremes ruled that some faith-based corporations

can get an exemption from Obamacare. But it was a pathetically narrow victory, applying only to small, privately-held companies, and they still must hire lawyers to beg for an exemption. Non-profits and bigger groups such as Notre Dame still must fund what they consider to be murder.

Leftists still assailed the court for granting even this tiny exemption.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren said she “can’t believe we live in a world where we’d even consider letting big corps deny women access to basic care.”

Harry Reid said, “If the Supreme Court will not protect women’s access to health care, then Democrats will.”

What utter nonsense!

No one was “denied access” to anything. Anyone with a prescription can buy birth control pills at Wal-Mart for $9. Are leftists so in love with big government that they think government not funding something is akin to banning it? Apparently they do.

Hobby Lobby’s owners were represented in court by a group called the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. Becket’s director, Kristina Arriaga, says Hobby Lobby isn’t stingy or cruel: “The Green family pays twice the minimum wage, closes on Sundays, gives very generous benefits to their employees, and they did not object to 16 out of the 20 drugs (for which coverage was mandated).”

I say it shouldn’t matter whether the Green family is good to its employees.

No one is forced to work for them or any company.

If business owners don’t want to fund birth control, alcohol rehab, haircuts or anything, that should be their right.

They created the company (or paid to buy it), and as long as they don’t collude with competitors, they should be allowed to impose whatever rules they want. Employees aren’t trapped. Anyone can quit. Companies that give more generous benefits will attract better employees.

Woman’s explosive boyfriend must learn to control his fuse DEAR ABBY: I have known “Dean” for 10 years. We have been living together for two. Since the beginning, he has struggled with depression, anxiety and anger issues. Occasionally he has explosive episodes where he’ll throw things and punch or kick inanimate objects.

Recently things escalated. He was angry with himself after getting angry with me for disturbing his “process” while making dinner, and he threw a potted plant across the room.

I’m not an idiot. I know these are serious issues. Every friend or family member of mine who knows him believes he’s a good guy deep down. But they all tell me to leave him. I talked with him after the incident. He called a therapist, set up an appointment and has promised he won’t drink anymore.

I’m struggling with the judgment I’m feeling from my friends and family.

Dean is a man I see a future with, and I don’t want to give him up when he’s finally seeking treatment. My friends are concerned about me getting hurt, either in the crossfire or when I try to stop him from hurting himself. Am I an idiot for not walking away? — NOT READY TO WALK DEAR NOT READY: If all your family and friends are worried about your physical safety, for your own sake, you may have to stop trying to save Dean and concentrate on yourself for a while.

He may have many fine qualities, and the fact that he is willing to seek help for his explosive temper says a lot for him. That’s why I’m suggesting you and Dean pay a visit to his therapist together and ask whether it would be better if you live apart until he learns to recognize and manage his “triggers.”

It may give him the incentive to work harder on his problems — because it appears he has more than a few to deal with.

DEAR ABBY: Recently my 11-year-old son, “Jackson,” was at a neighbor’s house playing with another boy a few years younger. The boy told my son he plays with him only because his parents make him, and he said he isn’t Jackson’s friend and never wanted to be.

Jackson came home upset, and I was heartbroken for him. I comforted him and told him at least the boy was honest. I advised Jackson to find another friend to play with.

I’m at a loss on what to do next, if anything. Do I talk to the parents?

Or just let it go? Friendship shouldn’t be forced, but my heart aches for my son. Please give me some advice. — MAMA BEAR IN ILLINOIS DEAR MAMA BEAR: Tell the parents what happened if they ask again for Jackson to come over. While children say all kinds of things in the heat of the moment, it would be better for your son if you found some other activities for him — group activities involving sports or science or the arts — for at least a while.

While it’s understandable your neighbor’s son may resent being forced to play with Jackson, it is equally understandable that Jackson might be reluctant at this point to have anything more to do with him. Don’t push it.

possible murder-suicide

GLENWOOD — A southwest Iowa home may have to be abandoned after a large oak tree fell on it and caused significant damage.

The tree fell across the house’s living room in Glenwood during a thunderstorm Saturday.

Fortunately, no one was home at the time. Katie Davis said he was surprised when authorities called her about the incident while she was shopping in Council Bluffs with her mother.

The plane sustained damaged to its left wing and landing gear, but all four people aboard were unharmed.

Court documents: Sisters spanked, slapped 6 year old who had a bad day

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News

Mike Mendenhall/Prairie City News PCM Middle School students Maybelle Smith, 13, of Prairie City, Mallorie Shoenhair and Carley Strovers, both 13, of Monroe, package meals for children in impoverished regions of South Africa Friday in the school’s gymnasium. PCM students partnered with Meals from the Heartland with a goal of packaging 30,000 meals.

PCM students, Meals from the Heartland team up to fight hunger

By Mike Mendenhall Prairie City News PRAIRIE CITY — PCM Middle School sixth-graders Erin Van Peursem and Lauran Schut dip scoops in to boxes of rice and soy, measure out several ounces and dump the commodities through a funnel into plastic bags.

The 12-year-old Peursem and 11-yearold Schut stood at a table with 10 other PCM middle schoolers Friday, wearing hairnets, sealing bags and taping boxes in the middle school gymnasium. The space was transformed Friday into an assembly line and mobile hunger fighting center. The goal was to package 30,000 meals in three hours for children in impoverished areas of South Africa.

“My table got one box done, and it looks like we’re going to get a second box. That’s 36 bags of food,” Van Peursem said. “We’re going to keep packaging meals

for the hungry.”

Friday’s packaging effort was organized through the West Des Moines nonprofit Meals from the Heartland and is the culmination of nearly a semester of fundraising for PCM Middle School’s service learning class.

The PCM sixth-graders raised nearly $3,000 with their “Weekend of Service” earlier this school year making care bags, decorating blankets and assembling shoe repair kits for those in need with the goal of securing the nonprofit’s matching grant to fund Friday’s event. A donation drive last week involving the entire middle school student body raised the final $500 to put the service learning class over the $3,000 threshold.

Joel O’Dell is hunger fight manager with Meals for the Heartland.

He said the organization’s 2014 packaging events produced and shipped nine million

Fantastic Selection of Mother’s Day gifts in stock!

meals to impoverished areas of South Africa, Haiti, Philippines and parts of Central America. But the hungry here at home were not forgotten. One million meals were shipped locally throughout central Iowa.

Ingredients cost 20 cents per bag, O’Dell said.

Meals from the Heartland began in 2008 with an annual event, packaging four to five million meals at Hy-Vee Hall. In 2010, the group branched out with mobile events — like Friday’s packaging effort in Prairie City — where the nonprofit brings their program to churches, schools and businesses.

“We’re doing events all the time, almost every day,” O’Dell said.

“We have our own packaging center and warehouse now where we can package and make mass quantities of meals.”

One of two sisters charged in a child endangerment case in which a 6-year-old child was allegedly spanked and slapped for having a bad day, will be sentenced on a lesser charge.

Jennifer R. McMahon, 27, pleaded guilty to assault causing injury, a serious misdemeanor, and is scheduled to be sentenced on May 20.

Her sister, 27-yearold Jessica L. Burckel, pleaded not guilty to

charges and waived her right to a speedy trial.

The two women were each charged with the Class D felony May 21, 2014 after the Newton Police Department was called to assist an Iowa Department of Human Services investigation at a Newton home.

The 6-year-old victim who was in their care sustained deep bruising on his buttocks and had very dark bruising on the right side of his face from being slapped, according to a court document.

When questioned

by DHS, both women allegedly admitted to taking turns spanking him as punishment for having a bad day. While the spanking was occurring the child laughed at them which upset the women, according to a court document, and they then slapped him across the face causing the bruise.

Burckel is also scheduled to appear in court on May 20 for a pretrial conference.

Man charged in baseball bat fight pleads not guilty Newton Daily News A Newton man charged with two felonies after allegedly using a baseball bat in a fight in front of Newton High School has pleaded not guilty.

Eugene C. Porter, 62, was arrested and charged with willful injury - serious assault and going armed with intent on April 1. The Newton Police Department was

called to circle drive in front of Newton High School at about 11:25 a.m. regarding a fight between two men, both of whom left the scene in separate vehicles.

Porter had allegedly been assaulting the 46-year-old man with a wooden baseball bat.

The police caught up to Porter and detained him several blocks away.

They also found the 46-year-old man, who

was treated by the Newton Fire Department in the alley behind Hawkeye Car Credit, along First Avenue East between East Third Street and East Fourth Street.

The 46-year-old man was then questioned by police and taken to Skiff Medical Center with lacerations to the back of his head, but had no apparent life-threatening injuries.

Tank named ‘Beautiful Bulldog’ in Iowa contest DES MOINES (AP) — The pups came from as far away as New Jersey and Tennessee in hopes of landing a new nickname: “Beautiful Bulldog.”

They were all defeated by a native son who likes eating snow and watching turtles.

A 2-year-old dog from Des Moines named Tank won the 36th annual Beautiful Bulldog contest Sunday at Drake University.

The tongue-in-cheek beauty pageant, which featured 50 dogs, is the kickoff event for the Drake Relays track meet.

“He’s funny,” said Tank’s owner, Duane Smith. “He’s a real good one.”

Pageant organizers narrowed a pool of over 100 hopeful pups by a lottery held last month.

Judges weren’t looking for beauty though.

They wanted to see

the slobber, drool and bulging, bloodshot eyes synonymous with English bulldogs.

They got all that and more from Tank — who now willingly shares his house with a Pomeranian and some turtles after Smith found him on Craigslist a year ago.

Tank will be put to work right away as the mascot for the Drake Relays, which will be held from Thursday through Saturday.

Concealed-carry advocates in Iowa wait for Senate bill

By Kirby Kaufman Sioux City Journal SIOUX CITY — Siouxland gun advocates say a proposed U.S. Senate bill requiring states to honor all concealed-carry permits would ease the anxiety of travelers who carry firearms.

Paul Barrett, the owner of a Sioux City gun store, said the bill would help people who are not familiar with concealed-carry laws in other states. Barrett holds permits in multiple states.

“People travel every summer, and they want to protect themselves while they’re away from home,” said Barrett, who owns Shooters Paradise in Morningside. “Some states won’t honor Iowa’s permit.”

The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2015, as written, would make

concealed-carry permits universal across all 50 states. The bill would not include Native American reservations, which issue their own gun permits, in accordance with agreements between the federal government and Indian tribes.

The bill was sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee in February.

It could be a while before the bill gains further traction, said U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who added committee members are working on other legislation such as an amendment to the Freedom of Information Act. Grassley, who is chairman of the Judiciary Committee, also said Democrats on the committee could prevent the bill from moving forward in Congress. “(The bill) has been intro-

duced in several Congresses but was never considered by the Judiciary Committee,” he said.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, introduced the bill this legislative session. He also introduced the bill in January 2014. The bill has 22 Republican sponsors, including Grassley, and one Democratic sponsor, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va. Other sponsors include Sen. Deb. Fischer, R-Neb., and Sen. John Thune, R-S.D. Representatives from Interfaith Alliance of Iowa and Iowans for Gun Safety - two Des Moines-based anti-gun groups - said Friday that they were not familiar enough with the bill to comment on it.

If passed, the bill would leave discretion to state governments as to where concealed weapons would be permitted.

Bettendorf mulls building bridge on farmer’s land

By Jack Cullen Quad-City Times BET TENDORF — In hopes of enticing future development, the city of Bettendorf wants to build a new bridge north of Interstate 80, but the owner of the private land is not willing to sell.

The city offered Harvey Klindt, who farms on 147 acres in Bettendorf, $35,000 for 2.1 acres of land west of Devils Glen Road and east of Utica Ridge Road, but the farmer claims his property is worth more than that.

“I’m not looking to sell my best farm ground, but if they’re going to take it for

public good, then I feel I need to have more compensation,” said Klindt, who called the portion of land his “crown gem,” and the proposed bridge a “bridge to nowhere.”

In meetings last week, City Council members heard from Klindt as they debated whether to use the powers of eminent domain to take ownership of the property.

By the end of the discussion, council members had decided unanimously to table the issue until their next meeting, April 21.

Currently, there is a bridge north of Interstate 80 that spans Spencer Creek on Devils Glen Road, but the

city closed it in January 2014. Missman Inc., a Rock Island-based engineering consulting firm, deemed it “structurally inadequate” during one of its biannual inspections, public works director Brian Schmidt said.

The city has three options for the bridge.

Crews could replace the bridge where it currently stands for $450,000, take advantage of state funding to realign Devils Glen Road and build a newer, “safer and wider” bridge for 230,000 or leave the defunct bridge closed, Schmidt said.

“People travel every summer, and they want to protect themselves while they’re away from home. Some states won’t honor Iowa’s permit” — Paul Barrett Gun store owner

is honored in 30 states, including Nebraska and South Dakota, primarily in the central part of the country. Several states in the Pacific Northwest and on the East Coast do not honor it.

Woodbury County Sheriff Dave Drew said as more people travel with concealed weapons, it’s important for them to familiarize themselves with concealed-carry laws in other states. In 2014, Drew’s office issued 953 concealed-carry

permits. “(The bill) would alleviate worries or concerns they may have,” Drew said of permit holders. “By having this law in effect, it would honor all states, coast to coast.”

Other Siouxland sheriffs say the Senate bill would clear up issues when handgun owners unintentionally break the law upon entering a state that doesn’t recognize their permits.

‘Faces Never Forgotten’ project seeking missing photo Newton Daily News The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is a nonprofit organization formed by Congress in 1980 to build a national memorial dedicated to all who served with the U.S. armed forces in the Vietnam War. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial, “The Wall,” is one of the most visited memorials in Washington, D.C. with an estimated 4.5 million annual visitors.

The Fund’s latest initiative is a campaign to build an education center at The Wall. The education center will show the pictures and tell the stories of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam. Unfortunately, the VVMF is missing many photos of these brave soldiers.

The Fund’s “Faces Never Forgotten” campaign is an effort to engage the public and find a photo of each of these soldiers who gave their lives during the Vietnam War. All photos and stories collected will be featured in the education center and shared on Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund’s Virtual Wall of Faces.

Newspapers and newspaper associations have assisted with this project by sharing sto-

ries and information about these men and women on the pages of newspapers all across the country.

Iowa lost 851 soldiers in the Vietnam War. When newspapers across this state started publicizing this effort in May, 2014, there were 47 Vietnam vets from Iowa with missing photos. All but one have been located.

David Leroy McCombs served in the Army. He died in on Oct. 11, 1969 at the age of 26. McCombs is from Oskaloosa. The hope is to find a picture of McCombs so it can be placed next to 850 comrades from Iowa who, along with McCombs, made the ultimate sacrifice.

Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds on Monday were joined at their weekly press conference by Iowa Newspaper Association Executive Director Chris Mudge to ask Iowans for their assistance in the locating photo of an Iowan who died in the Vietnam War for the Vietnam Memorial Fund’s “Wall of Faces” electronic memorial.

According to information from the National Archives, 851 Iowans died in the Vietnam War. Of those causali-

ties, David L. McCombs of Oskaloosa, is the only Iowan whose photo has not been located and obtained.

“As a Vietnam-era veteran and as governor of the state, I want to ensure that Iowans who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation are properly recognized and honored,” Branstad said. “Iowa has always been supportive of our military members and I am hopeful that we can work together to locate a photo of this brave soldier before Memorial Day.” The Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs has been working diligently to locate the photo by tracking down potential leads and resources. Unfortunately, the department has been unable to locate a photo through government, school and other community records. The department is hopeful that someone will come forward with more information about McCombs.

Individuals who believe they may have a photo of McCombs or may know someone who would have a photo may contact Missy Miller with the Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs at Melissa.Miller2@ iowa.gov or by phone at 515-727-3443.

The Associated Press GLADBROOK — The small central Iowa town of Gladbrook is preparing to lose its only school this summer.

Earlier this year, the Gladbrook-Reinbeck school board decided to consolidate all of its schools in Reinbeck, about 18 miles northeast. Several residents said they worry that the school’s closing will make it harder to attract families and businesses to the community of nearly 1,000 people.

“Some families have already been making plans to move,” resident Shari Smith said.

“Most young families don’t want to move to a town that doesn’t have a school.”

Heath Kellogg, the Tama County economic development director,

said other towns’ experience shows that population loss and tough times for business generally follow the loss of schools.

“Research is pretty clear that when a school leaves, you lose population,” Kellogg said. “You lose population, you’ve got lower labor supply and loss of tax base, and so it becomes this circular pattern. Labor, lost taxes, lost retail sales — it really hurts everything.”

Mike Bearden said it’s hard to predict how the school closing will affect businesses, but it will definitely be a factor for some.

“I think what’s going to hurt the most — and it’s going to ripple — is bringing families to Gladbrook without a school at all. That’s going to be hard to sell families coming to Gladbrook. So, you’ll

now have property value decline. You’ll now have less people at the grocery store,” said Bearden, who previously served on the school board for 18 years.

Mike DeWitt said he’s not worried about his DeWitt Refrigeration business because most of his customers are from other towns, but losing the school will hurt Gladbrook.

“It’s not going to be a good situation,” he said.

“It seems whenever a town loses its school, it just cuts the heart out of it. Young families are concerned. We’re not a community that sits still — we take lemons and make lemonade. But, it was quite a blow.”

Gladbrook Mayor Keith Sash said the community has to find a way to move forward, but he’s optimistic.

Blood Sugar & Dementia Risk Diabetes is an established risk factor for dementia.

However, new research suggests that even in people without diabetes, abovenormal blood sugar levels may increase the risk of dementia.

Researchers tracked more than 2,000 adults, average age 76, (most of whom did not have diabetes) for seven years and found that any increase in blood glucose levels was associated with an increased risk of dementia.

The higher the blood sugar levels, the greater the risk.

The good news is that another study showed that even a 15- minute brisk walk 30 minutes after a meal can help lower blood sugar levels.

Iowa’s Medicaid privatization draws scrutiny The Associated Press DES MOINES — Gov. Terry Branstad’s plan to privatize the state’s Medicaid program is moving forward, though critics are raising questions about how the shift will impact patients.

Earlier this year, the state began an effort to shift Medicaid administration to two or more managed care organizations, to which Iowa will pay a fixed amount per enrollee to provide health coverage.

State officials predict cost savings and say patients will still have access to quality health

care. But Democratic Senate President Pam Jochum, of Dubuque, said this week that she is not convinced.

“I am not confident it is going to work well,” said Jochum, whose adult daughter has severe intellectual disabilities and receives Medicaid. She added: “I think the goal from the governor is that we need to privatize everything...Our goal is to make sure people are being served.”

Amy Lorentzen McCoy, spokeswoman for the Department of Human Services, said the new system would save the state money by avoiding du-

plication of services and by offering better preventative care.

The state estimates savings of about $50 million in the first six months of managed care, starting Jan. 1. McCoy said patients will still receive the care they need.

“We are not changing the types of services available through Medicaid. We are not changing the eligibility criteria. What we are changing is how the program is administered,” McCoy said.

Roughly 560,000 people are enrolled in Iowa’s Medicaid program, which provides care to poor children, families

Farmer Continued from Page 8A The estimated cost for the new bridge, which would last 50 to 75 years, is $1.15 million, but the state would pay for 80 percent of it, Schmidt added.

The new bridge would allow the city eventually to extend Devils Glen Road farther north to the intersection at 210th Street and 215th Avenue, a designated move in Bettendorf ’s long-term transportation plan, Schmidt said.

Klindt, who lives just north of the Bettendorf city limits in Scott County, said he can understand the city wanting to replace the bridge at a low cost,

but he argued that the lack of development in the area and “the traffic count at this time does not justify that kind of project.”

Some aldermen, who hinted they may not be fans of eminent domain in this particular case, agreed.

“It’s like getting federal funding to put a Hy-Vee in the middle of a cornfield,” Bettendorf Alderwoman Debe LaMar, 3rd Ward, said.

“It’s going to be a great project someday, just not right now.”

While Klindt has not made the city an official counter-offer, City Attorney Kristine Stone said he wanted closer to $30,000 per acre, about twice as much as

the city’s original offer, which is about 10 percent higher than the property’s appraised value.

“I’m not sure if the city would go that high, but we may be able to reach a compromise to get the project done,” Stone added. “We just haven’t been able to meet in the middle.”

City Administrator Decker Ploehn said he does not foresee development occurring north of Interstate 80 for another 10 or 20 years.

“You always try to build something toward the future, and when you have an opportunity to plan for the future and do it for fewer dollars, that seems to make sense,” he added.

and disabled people, as well as some low-income adults. It is funded with $4.2 billion in state and federal dollars.

Under this plan, the majority of Medicaid recipients would move to the new system.

The state plans to establish the new program in January 2016, though it must receive federal approval first. So far, 18 companies have expressed interest in bidding on contracts to provide Medicaid services.

A total 39 states and the District of Columbia contract with managed care organizations, according to the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foun-

‘Furious 7’ speeds ahead of the competition The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Even in its debut weekend, Kevin James’s “Paul Blart” sequel couldn’t outpace “Furious 7.”

The reigning box office champion might have slowed from its blockbuster debut, but “Furious 7” maintained first place for the third weekend in a row with an estimated $29.1 million, according to box office tracker Rentrak on Sunday.

This brings the high-octane action movie’s domestic total to a staggering $294 million, well above the $202.8 million that “Fast & Furious 6” had earned at the same point in the cycle in 2013. The film crossed the $1 billion mark Friday.

“The film has set a new standard for the potential for box-office in the pre-summer month of April and has truly become part of movie folklore with its record setting numbers, strong reviews, spectacular word-of-mouth and of course the outpouring of support for late star Paul Walker,” Rentrak’s Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian said.

“Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2” came in a close second with an estimated $24 million. While the

PG-rated comedy didn’t perform as well as the first film’s $31.8 million opening in 2009, it did surpass Sony’s modest expectations. Also, it only cost $30 million to produce.

“It’s a great result. It’s going to be very profitable for us and a big success,” Sony’s President of Worldwide Distribution Rory Bruer said.

“It was something that Kevin really wanted to do and we wanted to do it with him,” he said.

“Kudos to Kevin for working so hard in promoting the film.”

Dergarabedian said “Blart’s” opening “proves that if you give the people what they want, you can make a tidy profit.”

Meanwhile, the low-budget, social media themed thriller “Unfriended” took third place with $16 million — sixteen times its production budget.

With “Furious 7” topping the charts again and a strong debut for “Unfriended,” Universal’s President of Domestic Distribution Nick Carpou marveled how both of films are “so successful at both ends of the spectrum.”

“When you find success you look to repeat them,” he said of Universal’s partnership with Blumhouse

“I would say it’s a trend.

I would definitely say it’s a trend,” said Julia Paradise, associate director of the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured. She said states make the change for a variety of reasons, including cost savings, budget predictability or quality of care. She said the results have varied by state.

“There’s evidence that managed care can deliver important improvements and there’s evidence that here can be real gaps in access. The actual implementation really matters,” Paradise said.

“Unfriended” is the 11th microbudget film to open above $15 million for Blumhouse.

Other successes include “Ouija,” ‘’The Purge” series and “The Boy Next Door.”

According to exit polls, audiences for “Unfriended” were 60 percent female and 74 percent under 25 years of age.

Rounding out the top five were holdovers “Home” and “The Longest Ride,” with $10.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively.

Disney’s animal film “Monkey Kingdom” debuted to $4.7 million to claim the seventh spot, in line with last year’s “Bears,” also from Disneynature.

Cardinal girls blank Railsplitters for tourney title PCM girls’ soccer team takes fourth at Cardinal Invitational

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Taking care of business at home, Newton High’s Cardinal girls captured the Cardinal Invitational soccer tournament championship Saturday.

The Cardinals did not give up a goal in two games at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

“It’s really nice to win our home tournament. We wanted to get out and compete well today to help us prepare for some tough games coming up. We have DCG on Monday,” said senior Michaela Jacobsen, following Newton’s 7-0 win over Des Moines Lincoln in the title game.

Jacobsen is referring to Monday’s Little Hawkeye Conference showdown between Class 2A 13thranked Newton and sixth-ranked Dallas Center-Grimes. The varsity game starts at 7:30 p.m. in Grimes.

“Our communication back on defense throughout the day was a key component in both wins,” said Abby Lamont, Newton head coach. “Michaela has a knack for communication with her teammates and an eye for play development. She is a vital component to the Cardinal defense

this season.”

Newton defeated Prairie City-Monroe, 10-0, in the first game of the day. The 60-minute contest ended at the 15-minute mark of the second half on the 10-goal lead rule.

PCM’s Mustangs came into the tournament off their second win of the season — a 7-0 victory over host Centerville Friday night. After falling to Newton, the Mustangs took on Perry, which lost 3-0 to Lincoln in the second game of the tournament, in the consolation match.

McKinzie Tjaden put the Mustangs up 1-0 on a goal at the 27:33 mark of the first half. That lead stood for PCM until Perry’s Sydney Guerra scored the equalizer with 19:15 left in the second half.

Perry’s K.C. Gafkjen put the Jayettes ahead, 2-1, with a goal at the 5:33 mark. PCM dropped the 2-1 decision. McKeely Tjaden played in goal for the Mustangs in both games.

“We’re moving the ball and rotating better. We’re winning the balls.

We’re just not getting the breaks,” said Bill Sowder, PCM head coach.

Cards deck Toreadors

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s Cardinal boys prevailed Friday night at home in a physical soccer game against visiting Boone’s Toreadors. Newton improved to 4-2 on the season with a 4-2 win over Boone at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

“Our fitness was key to

winning this game,” said Sackda Viravong, Newton head coach. “It was a physical game. In those types of games, you have to push through to the end and our guys gave us a really gutsy performance tonight.”

The game started out well for the Cardinals, scoring in the first minute of the game. Josh Ventling made a pass to

Garrett Sturtz, who buried the ball in the net a the 39:13 mark.

Newton kept the Toreadors at bay until Jared Dow delivered in the middle of the scoring box for Boone with 25:02 lead the first half. The teams battled in a 1-1 tie until the final minute of the half.

Athletes from three area high schools head to Drake Relays

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High has seven track athletes among the 13 area athletes qualified for the 2015 Drake Relays later this week in Des Moines. The qualifier list was released Saturday.

The 106th Drake Relays run Wednesday through Saturday at Drake University. High school competition begins Thursday afternoon.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter has two athletes qualified.

Prairie City-Monroe is sending a relay team.

Newton senior Sarah Kalkhoff, the defending Class 4A state discus champion, will be competing in the discus and shot put events for high school girls. Kalkhoff has sixth-place medals from the Drake Relays in the past two years.

Kalkhoff ranks fourth overall in the state’s discus list this season at 134 feet, 10 inches, which is tops in 4A. Kiana Phelps, a junior from Kingsley-Pierson, has the top throw overall this year at 162-10.

Kalkhoff ’s shot put distance of 39-5 is seventh in 4A and ranks 20th overall. Solon senior Shelby Gunnells has the top throw in the state at 47-0.

Newton senior Deonne Harris placed fourth in the 110-meter high hurdles at Drake Relays. Harris will be joined in the 110 hurdle field by CMB senior Bryce Kemp. Kemp narrowly missed the finals a year ago, finishing ninth overall in the 110s.

Going into Friday’s preliminaries, Harris is ranked third overall at 14.58 seconds, which is tops in Class 4A, and Kemp has the 15thbest time at 15.06, which he ran at Newton last week. Kemp has the

fourth-fastest time in 110 hurdles in Class 2A. Newton junior Grace Coen again qualified for all three distance races at the Drake Relays. She will be running in the 800 meters, 1,500 meters and the 3,000 meters. Coen placed 13th in the 800, 14th in 1,500 and 14th in 3,000 at Drake a year ago.

Coen goes into this year’s Drake Relays ranked sixth in the 800 at 2 minutes, 17.21 seconds, which is third fastest in Class 4A. She is ninth and 10th the 3,000 and 1,500 at 10:29.18 and 4:49.55, respectively. Those times put her seventh in both events among 4A runners.

Linn-Mar junior Stephanie Jenks has the top times in all three distance races — 2:14.38 in the 800, 4:35.77 in the 1,500 and 9:51.23 in the 3,000.

This is the third straight Drake Relays for Newton’s Harris, Kalkhoff and Coen.

CMB’s Patrick Girard will be competing the boys’ shot put event.

Girard’s throw of 53-4.75 ranks him 14th overall in the state. It is the fourth-best throw in Class 2A. Lisbon senior Keegan Trittle has the top throw in the state at 58-7.50.

In the girls’ 4x100-meter relay field of 80 teams will be foursomes from Newton and Prairie-City Monroe.

Newton’s 4x100 team of juniors Sydney Jenkins, Leela Spencer and Alex Hutchison and freshman Alexis Stout put together a 52.18-second run to rank 51st in the state. That time is 28th among 4A 4x100 teams.

ISU coach Hoiberg has successful surgery DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa State says coach Fred Hoiberg has undergone open-heart surgery to replace aortic valve.

Hoiberg had surgery Friday at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Doctor Rakesh Suri says the operation was a success, adding that “Hoiberg is in recovery and doing very well himself.”

Hoiberg retired from the NBA following the 2004-05 season because of heart issues. He just completed his fifth season at Iowa State, leading the Cyclones to four straight NCAA Tournament appearances and back-to-back Big 12 tournament titles.

Hoiberg is expected to need about 4-6 weeks to recover.

PCM’s Lindsay follows Dad’s path to William Penn

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PRAIRIE CITY — William Penn was a school Prairie City-Monroe senior Trey Lindsay was familiar with.

His father Jeff played there as a pitcher and the campus is just 45 minutes away.

And after two visits to the campus, Trey knew that is where he wanted to spend the next four years of his life.

The Mustang senior shortstop inked his National Letter of Intent to play baseball for Statesmen on Thursday at the Prairie City Elementary School, beginning a similar path that was taken by his father several years ago.

The only difference is that Trey will likely be standing in the middle of the infield and not on the pitching mound.

“I liked their campus, I liked their faculty and I liked the coaching staff,” Trey Lindsay said. “They have a strong baseball tradition and I just loved everything about the school.”

Trey Lindsay hit .264 and had an on base percentage of .366 this past season for the Mustangs. He also scored 15 runs, drove in eight more and had 11 steals.

But it’s on the defensive side of the plate that Lindsay stands out. He finished with 38 putouts and 68 assists from his shortstop position last year. And by committing just eight errors, he had the highest fielding percentage for a shortstop in the Heart of Iowa Conference a season ago.

Alex Olp/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Trey Lindsay, front row center, signed his National Letter of Intent to play baseball at William Penn on Thursday. With him at the signing were his parents Jeff and Christy Lindsay (seated left and right), PCM Athletic Director Greg Bonnett (back row left) and PCM baseball coach Shaun Hudnut (back row right).

“He’s been a phenomenal defensive player for us,” PCM coach Shaun Hudnut said. “He hit for more power as a junior as you can see him growing into his body. He also has a great eye and carries the internal drive to make himself better.”

Lindsay chose William Penn over interest from Simpson College and Luther College. The only other school Lindsay visited was Simpson, however.

“I went to Simpson in the winter and then went back last week,” Lindsay said.

That final trip essentially made things official and ending the recruiting process.

And Dad’s role in the entire

thing was minimal, according to the younger Lindsay.

“He obviously wanted me to go to William Penn because he went there,” Trey said in reference to his father who is an assistant coach at PCM. “But he also wanted me to go where my heart wanted me to go. He let me make my own decision.

But he was pretty happy in the end.”

Lindsay said he has never played anything except shortstop and second base in his baseball career. And even though he projects as a shortstop or second basemen, Lindsay is prepared for anything in college.

“I always want to play shortstop,” Lindsay admit-

ted. “I love that position. But wherever they put me is OK, too. I know I am going to have to work hard no matter what.

Hudnut thinks his senior is a natural shortstop.

“He has sound technique,” Hudnut said. “William Penn said they were in need of middle infielders and they will look at him to compete for playing time early on. That is what they are telling him anyway.”

Lindsay will be a three-year starter for the Mustangs when the season begins next month.

PCM went 11-15 in 2014.

McAtee wins twice, Mustangs finish fourth

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ADEL — Collin Harrison took over a track and field program that was consistently finishing in the bottom part of the standings at each meet.

So when the Prairie City-Monroe’s boys’ squad grabs third-, fourth- and fifthplace finishes, it’s a step in the right direction for the Mustangs.

Maverick McAtee has been a bright spot this season and he grabbed two more wins Friday as the Mustangs scored 50 points and finished in fourth out of seven teams at the Tiger Relays.

McAtee won both the 800and 1,600-meter runs with two personal-best performances.

He finished the 800 in 2 minutes, 9.44 seconds and crossed in the mile in 4:49.34.

Those times were personal records by three and four seconds, respectively.

Senior Skyler Koder took second in the high jump with a best leap of 6 foot, 0 inches.

The Mustangs fared well in the field events overall. Connor Warrick was third in the shot put with a toss of 42-2, Logan Gilman was third in the discus with a throw of 12110 and Ricky Reeve finished fourth in the long jump with a leap of 18-4.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Maverick McAtee, right, won both the 800- and 1,600-meter runs Friday at the Tiger Relays in Adel. He also ran personal-best times in both events.

Koder had another top-four finish as he came across in fourth in the 110 high hurdles.

He hit the line in 16.8 seconds.

Winterset was the team

champion followed by Carroll and Ogden.

PCM was better than Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont, host ADM of Adel and Des

PCM soccer splits with Centerville

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News CENTERVILLE — The Prairie City-Monroe girls soccer team had a breakout performance at Centerville on Friday night.

The Mustangs got a pair of goals from Kennah Walters and McKinzie Tjaden and returned home with a 7-0 triumph over the Big Red. The PCM boys also played Centerville on Friday, losing 2-1.

Joining Walters and Tjaden in the scoring column for the Mustang girls were Jessica Albright, Bella George and Brooklynn Rawlins, who all scored a goal apiece.

McKeely Tjaden spent most of the match in goal and earned the win. Kayla Dustin also played inside

the net to help complete the shutout.

The lone boys goal was scored by Ryan Kohlof.

The PCM girls are now 2-6 on the season.

T h e Mustangs play at Grinnell at 5 p.m.

Monday.

The boys are now 0-5 and play at Chariton on Thursday. Chariton defeated the Mustangs 3-2 earlier this season.

Matt Kenseth ends 51-race drought with win at Bristol

Alex Olp/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Tristan Clark, front and center, will wrestle for Central College next season. Joining Clark for his commitment ceremony was PCM wrestling coach Cory Waddell (front left), Clark’s mother Tracy and (back row, from left) PCM Athletic Director Greg Bonnett, PCM assistant coach Jon Holdefer, PCM assistant coach Jim Oldham and PCM assistant coach Matt Hadsall.

PCM’s Clark to continue wrestling career at Central

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — After his junior season, Prairie City-Monroe’s Tristan Clark didn’t want to wrestle in college.

Cutting weight isn’t easy, and the dedication the sport takes can be overwhelming.

But after a successful season campaign for the Mustangs, Clark has changed his tune.

And he will indeed wrestle at the next level, extending his career at Central College.

Clark was offered scholarship money by several other schools but ultimately chose the Dutch because of the proximity to Monroe and a relationship he has with a Central assistant coach.

“I am happy for Tristan and happy that he will only be 15 miles away so I can easily go watch him wrestle,” PCM coach Cory Waddell said. “He turned down a lot schools that can offer him scholarship money so that should tell you how much he wanted to be at Central.”

Clark has already been

working with Central assistant coach Matt Diehl for the past three years and is comfortable with him.

“It makes things easier for me and it definitely played into my decision to wrestle at Central,” Clark said of his relationship with Diehl. “I also know a lot of people that go to Central and I am familiar with everything about the program.”

Central College is an NCAA Division III school and cannot offer athletic scholarships. Clark culminated his decision Thursday during a ceremony at PCM High School.

Clark chose Central over Grand View University, an NAIA school in Des Moines.

He also had interest from Graceland University in Lamoni, William Penn in Oskaloosa and several other NAIA schools.

Clark went 44-4 last season for the Mustangs and reached the Class 2A state championship match at the Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships.

He also wrestled at the North-South All-Star meet in Charles City where he faced 3A state champion Nolan Hellickson of Southeast Polk and lost 7-2. He trailed 4-2 midway through the final period.

“I didn’t want to wrestle in college after my junior year but after a successful year last season, I changed my mind,” Clark said. “Losing in the state title match also left me wanting more.”

Clark will wrestle at 133 in college. That’s a natural weight for the Mustang senior, according to Waddell.

“He’ll stay strong at that weight,” Waddell said. “If he keeps the same work ethic in college that he had this past season, he will be just fine.”

Another factor in Clark’s decision to wrestle at Central involved early action with the varsity. There is just one other 133-pounder on the current roster.

C-M’s Abell wins medalist honors again

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News KNOXVILLE — Colfax-Mingo’s Jimmy Abell recovered from an early double bogey to win medalist honors at the Knoxville Invitational on Saturday.

Abell carded six birdies, six pars and five bogeys on the other 17 holes and finished with a 1-over-par 71 on the par-70 Pine Knolls.

Abell bested Grinnell’s Lucas Scherf by one shot.

Both of them double bo-

geyed the par 3 second hole.

Host Knoxville and Pella ran away from the rest of the field in the team standings.

The Panthers shot a 319 and won the team title by one shot.

Albia (360) was one stroke better than Grinnell (361) for third and Winterset and Pella Christian both finished with 373 in fifth and sixth.

Chariton was seventh with a 392 and Colfax-Mingo’s three golfers were eighth with a 435.

Colfax-Mingo’s Mason Mosher shot an 88 and finished in 16th.

Brady DeJoode turned in a 96 and was 24th.

After starting plus-two over his first two holes, Abell recovered with birdies on No. 3 and No. 4.

Abell also had birdies on No. 10, No. 13 and No. 15 and collected pars on No. 1, No. 5, No. 11, No. 14, No. 17 and No. 18. He ended up with a 1-under-par 34 on the back nine.

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — After four rain delays and 11 extra laps, Matt Kenseth finally drove to victory lane.

It took him nine hours to get there Sunday at a water-logged Bristol Motor Speedway.

Kenseth snapped a 51race losing streak by holding off Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson on one final restart in NASCAR’s determined effort to stage a complete race.

Kenseth, a seven-race winner in his 2013 debut season with Joe Gibbs Racing, was winless all last year.

“It feels good to be back here. Not winning for as

long as we did ... it wears on you a little bit,” Kenseth said. “We had such a good 2013, and last year there were some races we had some chances to win and just things wouldn’t line up for us.”

The start was delayed nearly 90 minutes because of rain and the race was stopped three more times, including one delay that lasted almost four hours.

Johnson slid past Gordon to take second place, and Gordon finished third.

“Heck, that’s Bristol, isn’t it?” Gordon said. “I’m sure I’ve had wackier nights and days at Bristol than this.”

Drake Relays Continued from Page 1B Jenkins and Spencer ran on last year’s Drake Relays’ qualifying 4x100 team.

It finished 62nd overall.

Freshman Liz McVey is the alternate runner for the Cardinals.

PCM’s 4x100 team of senior Mackenzie Clarke, juniors Emily Hugen and Ashley Van Gorp and sophomore Jayci Vos turned in a 52.30 timing last Thursday at Guthrie Center. That put them in the 62nd spot in the state and ranked eighth in Class 2A. Clarke, Vos and Hugen were the 4x100 which qualified a year ago for the Drake Relays. The Mustang relay finished 53rd overall.

On Thursday, Kalkhoff competes in the girls’ discus at 3 p.m. and Girard is in the boys’ shot put competition at 3:30 p.m. at Drake Stadium. Coen runs in the 3,000 meters at 4:10 p.m.

Friday, preliminary races

and field events begin bright and early. The boys 110-meter hurdle preliminary races are at 8:16 a.m. with Kemp running in the first of four heats and Harris in the second heat race.

The 110 hurdle final is at 11:40 a.m. on the Blue Oval.

Coen runs the girls’ 800 race at 1:49 p.m. Friday.

She’s back on the track Saturday for the 1,500 at 12:45 p.m.

In Friday’s 4x100 preliminaries at 5:10 p.m., Newton runs in the seventh of 10 heat races. PCM is in the eighth heat. The girls’ 4x100 relay final is at 3:35 p.m. Saturday.

Girls Continued from Page 1B “Playing against Newton for the second straight Saturday, we saw improvement. We’re going to the ball better and we were making some very nice, quick passes,” Sowder said.

Sowder told his players they played well in both games. He said the Mustangs put shots on goal in both games.

Sowder said he was frustrated on several calls which didn’t go the Mustangs’ way.

“But, that’s what happens,” he said.

The Mustangs (6-2) play at Grinnell Monday and at Des Moines Christian Tuesday.

Newton powered past PCM, but the Mustangs put the Cardinals on the scoreboard first. Newton’s Kaytlin Ahn kicked the ball past McKeely Tjaden in front from of the goal.

Ryanne Rausch was coming from the other side and PCM’s Kaylee Stobbs tried to clear the ball out.

Stobbs deflected the ball into the PCM net to put Newton up 1-0 with 24:22 left in the first half. Rausch had a hat trick in the first half for Newton, scoring goals at the 22:46, 21:18 and 9:21 marks. The Cardinals led the Mustangs 4-0 at halftime.

“There’s no secret. It’s all about my teammates. They find me and get the ball to me so I can score,” Rausch said, following the game. Rausch had four goals against PCM and three goals in the win over Lincoln. That bumped her team-leading and state-leading total to 19 goals.

In the opening minute of the second half against PCM, Ahn scored followed by a Rausch goal four minutes later. Victoria Jordan split two PCM defenders on her way to get the ball into the net past McKeely Tjaden with 19:36 left in the game.

Taylor Moon had back-to-back goals in a span of a minute to push Newton to a 9-0 lead. Ashlee Freese, who started in goal for Newton but gave way to Addy Blom in the second half, went one-on-one with her PCM counterpart and scored.

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | April 20, 2015 Freese’s goal brought the game to an end at 10-0 with 15 minutes remaining.

Newton had 22 shots on goal and PCM had five shots on goal. Freese and Blom each had a save for Newton, while McKeely Tjaden had three.

Taylor Shipley was credited with three assists on goals for the Cardinals. Hannah Rhoads and Ahn each had an assist.

“The girls played well and really passed the ball well in the second half,” Lamont said of the Cardinals.

“They utilized their crosses and deep shots in the second half.”

Lamont said Rhoads and Jordan covered the middle extraordinarily well in both games.

With a threat of rain coming in, Newton took the field against Lincoln’s Railsplitters for the championship game.

Newton went on top quickly getting a goal from an unlikely source.

Senior defender Rylie Udelhoven had pushed up the field as the Cardinals were on the offensive attack. A corner kick didn’t work for Newton, but the ball came out up top of the scoring Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News box.

Prairie City-Monroe’s Mallory Bell (27) blocks the ball kicked by Perry’s Merary Garcia in Udelhoven booted the ball from Saturday’s consolation game of the Newton girls’ soccer tournament.

Boys Continued from Page 1B “They (Boone) were really aggressive and they possess the ball very well. We had to play more physical than they were,” said Brock Southern, senior defender.

Southern tackled the ball away from the Toreadors and dribbled it up the sideline.

He made a long clearing pass up the field into the scoring zone. Newton took advantage as Reese Rosenquist fired in a long kick finding the net with 52 seconds remaining before the break.

“My teammates are more important (than me scoring). I spend most of my energy taking the ball away and getting it up the field,” Southern said.

“We’re successful as a team because of our conditioning, we know what were doing defensively and offensively, and Coach (Viravong) does a good job coaching us. He pushes us hard and keeps us on our toes.”

Leading 2-1 at halftime, Newton wasn’t about to extend its lead early in the second half.

Dow scored off a corner kick by

Boone teammate Kurt Yaeger to tie the game at 2-2 with 32:58 left.

Sturtz, a freshman, would record his first career hat trick in a span of two minutes later in the game. Rosenquist made a strong throw in, which Sturtz turned on and scored at the 9:53 mark to put Newton back in front, 3-2.

With 8:22 left in the game, Sturtz got in behind the goalie on a shot by a teammate.

The ball deflected off the cross bar and Sturtz booted it into the net.

“I was right there at the right place and the right time,” Sturtz said after the game. “I had a great throw in

by Reese on one of the goals and a great placed ball by Josh Ventling. I was getting really tired but once the goals started my energy went up. Everyone was getting into it — my teammates and the fans.”

Newton’s defense did not break again as the 4-2 lead held up for the Cardinals. Playing behind the defensive starters Southern, Dalton Nevels, Jordan Norvell and Tyler Dafflitto, Newton goalkeeper Grant Davidson had nine saves.

Newton had six corner kicks in the game. Ventling had two assists and Rosenquist had one assist.

“Boone came ready to play and they rely on two very good players,” Viravong said. “Defensively, I told the guys not to panic when the other team puts the pressure on. We have Grant back there, play to him or just kick the ball out — clear it.

“We did a great job of that for the most part. These guys were fighting for every ball and winning a lot of the 50/50 balls. It’s a great team effort for a team win.”

Newton’s junior varsity ended in a scoreless tie with Boone Friday.

Newton is without the services of senior Mike McCormick, who suffered a foot injury against Knoxville. Viravong said he was hoping McMormick can be back on the field in two or three weeks.

Newton (4-2) hosts Dallas-Center Grimes Tuesday in a 7 p.m. Little Hawkeye Conference game. The Cardinals are 0-1 in conference play.

Newton Trap Team has a busy weekend

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Three competitions scheduled for the weekend. Two completed for the Newton Trap Team.

A sporting clays shoot at Pella Sunday afternoon was halted because of inclement weather.

Friday, the Cardianals were in a skeet and five-stand sporting clays competition against Albia and host Pella.

In the skeet shoot, Newton’s highest scoring squad members were Jacob Arrowood, Derek Damman and Connor McAdoo. They hit 100-of150 targets to finish seventh.

Bryce Romick of Newton hit 41-of-50 targets to place 11th overall in a field of 26 shooters.

In the five-stand sporting clays, Romick posted Newton’s highest individual score, 41-of-50, to place seventh.

Newton’s top squad score of 103-of-125 targets was done

by Romick, Dawson Cobler and Logan Zaabel.

“Our team members continue to show good improvement in both skeet and sporting clays,” said Paul Klein, Newton coach.

Newton hosted a dual trap shooting meet with Baxter at the Jasper County Gun Club.

The Cardinals had the top two squad scores in the event.

Taking top honors was the squad of Arrowood, Matt Bleakney, Brian Bleakney, Nathan Tremel and Zaabel. They broke 197 out of 250 clay targets, which was the best score of the season by a Newton squad.

“I think we will see some even better scores out of this squad,” Klein said.

Brian Bleakney was the top male shooter Saturday and Newton’s Allison Winchell took third place among female shooters.

Astrograph

You are not defined by what satisfies your creature comforts, but it’s good information as the sun moves from the fiery first station of the zodiac, Aries, into earthy Taurus. This is the sign of sensuality, physical pleasure and material reward. It’s the sign of appetite, sustenance and comfort. The better you know yourself the happier you’ll be.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 20). You aren’t interested in a life without beauty, and this year you will do what it takes to bring gorgeous additions to your world. Your work will be

appreciated, and you will be compensated accordingly.

Aquarius and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 1, 33, 29 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

What’s the point of brooding over past insults and slights?

You let it go, and any ugliness that went along with it melts away. You’ll meet new and exciting people because you exude positive energy and a good spirit.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

When you are at ease, everyone around you is at ease.

The bits of life that you share will be appreciated. People

want to know where you come from and what you’ve been through.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Power is easy once you realize it’s seldom given to people. Powerful people are people who take. Take charge and take responsibility, and you’ll have power.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Dramatic people will seem to want you to solve a problem -- except what they really want is for you to be involved in the problem. It’s an excuse for interaction and attention.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Focusing well leads to achievement. Your ability to shut

out distractions and focus intently for many hours at a time will be the reason you will win a prime position, job or assignment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Your team needs you, and you will deliver this afternoon. What would they do without you? The answer is “less.” It all points to one thing: You should ask for a raise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Playfulness is a forte of yours, but today it’s important to highlight your serious side. You have the potential to make a remarkable difference with the work you do.

Would you like to join a successful, unique, progressive, world-class company? JELD-WEN Door Systems-Grinnell is now accepting applications for 3rd shift maintenance & production positions.

We offer the following benefits to our full time employees: • • • • • • • • • • • •

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The cosmic gift coming your way is a rare case of beginner’s luck. You’ll stumble into an activity you were always meant to do and succeed on your very first try.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Get outside in the open air. Touch the sky. Nature will soothe you. The patterns of sound that birds make will seem to have a magical and healing effect.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). A mild investment will be better than going allin. If the other people want badly to win, you’ll have an advantage. Not being overly invested in the game, you can actually relax and have fun.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You have mixed feelings about the gifts you are given, probably because gifts always come with responsibilities. It’s up to you to exploit the opportunities inside each endowment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Maybe you don’t want them talking about you, but you should know that when other people discuss your mood, it is a sign that you are in a position of influence.
