One injured in vehicle/pedestrian accident

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News A 21-year-old Newton man was transported to a hospital following a late night incident in which a vehicle struck a pedestrian.

Newton Police and paramedics were called to 1420 N. Fourth Ave. E. at approximately 11:40 p.m. Saturday.

Anthony Dewey was transported by ambulance to Skiff Medical Center with injuries sustained in the incident. A

Dog attacked, killed in Newton Woman cited; aggressor dog to be quarantined for total of 10 days

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A Newton woman said one of her dogs was attacked by a neighbor’s dog Friday, and later died — and it wasn’t the first time recently that one of her dogs was attacked.

Tammy Heyveld said she was walking her six-pound poodle mix, Edna, near her home on South 24th Avenue West on Friday when a neighbor’s dog came out of its yard and crossed the street to grab Edna, Heyveld’s dog, by the abdomen.

While the neighbor was able to pull her dog away, and Heyveld was able to get Edna to the Newton Animal Clinic for emergency surgery, Edna ended up dying Saturday. Heyveld said the neighbor’s dog is a vizsla-labrador mix.

She later reported the incident to police. The Newton Police Department cited Joyce Louise Wood, 58, of Newton with having a dog at large and having an unlicensed dog.

“I had spoken to this neighbor a few times about the dog running loose, and she assured me

Lifting of residency requirements passes first reading

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

she would keep the dog in the yard,” Heyveld said. “Obviously, that did not happen.”

Heyveld said she filed a report with Newton Police on Monday morning.

Acting NPD Chief Rob Burdess said Monday the vizsla-labrador mix has been quarantined at a local veterinary clinic. That quarantine will end up being a 10-day period used to determine if the dog has rabies, since the owner didn’t have any vaccination records and hadn’t licensed the dog with the city.

Burdess also said Wood, who is not the owner of the vizsla-labrador mix, was caring for the dog at the time of the attack. He said

The first consideration of an ordinance lifting all residency requirements for a segment of city employees was passed by the Newton City Council at its Monday meeting.

The change would not apply to the city administrator or department directors and employees that are not currently in compliance would be able to maintain their exemption as long as they remain full-time employees of the city. The residency requirement currently in place has city employees living within eight miles Price of city limits.

“We already have some residency requirements of certain positions and I think that they are a little outdated with the time. I think from what I see 1984 would have been the last time (the ordinance was addressed) and I don’t think I had a cell phone in 1984,” Council Member Jeff Price said. “The availability to reach individuals in our community is a lot better communications wise than it ever has been.”

ISU to host annual soil management, land valuation conference May 20 Newton Daily News

Kate Malott/Daily News Iowa Corn Grower’s Association Board of Directors Chair Roger Zylstra takes a break from harvest last fall at his farm in Lynnville. Many Jasper County farmers are hard at work getting seeds into the ground this week, but their eyes are still on the market indicators that help determine what they’ll plant in 2016.

Seeds going into the ground around county Farmers still monitoring markets, prices while field work begins

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News While farmers around Jasper County are getting their crops into the ground this month, their eyes are still on the market indicators that help determine what they’ll plant in 2016.

Roger Zylstra, of Lynnville, is the chair of the Iowa Corn Growers Association’s Board of Directors. Despite the rainy conditions Saturday, he was out getting his planting activities done.

“Most farmers in this area follow a corn-soybean rotation,” Zylstra said. “The decision on changing crops is usually made in the late fall or winter.”

Iowa Corn quotes federal sources in predicting the amount of corn planted in Iowa will be slightly reduced this year. In 2014, Iowa corn farmers grew almost 2.4 billion bushels of corn on 13.2 million acres of land, while 2015 projections show the state’s farmers will grow more than 2.3 billion bushels of corn on 12.6 million acres.

Corn-planting season is whenever the soil is warm enough to germinate the seeds, but not so early that the young plants are likely to be damaged by frost. This is generally an earlier time for the southern Iowa counties than it is in the north. Soybeans tend to go into the ground in late April, with

corn not far behind.

Much depends on the weather outlook, types of plants and many other factors.

Even as farmers are spending a week or so (depending on the size of their farms) getting seeds into the ground, there is still thought going into what seeds to buy for next year. A mid-March report from a Farm Futures growers survey showed stressed margins continue to affect farmer planting decisions this spring.

In addition to planting less corn and more soybeans, producers are searching for other crops to grow to try and make a profit look more plausible — on paper, anyway. Growers also said they’re looking to plant other alternatives to traditional row crops, some 15 to 20 percent more than in the past. Farm Futures surveyed 1,297 growers in 41 states by email from Feb. 27 to March 16.

This time of year, farmers are keenly aware of the cost of planting, from fueling up a tractor to labor costs of farm help. Another expense farmers consider is herbicides. Kansas State University extension weed specialist Dallas Peterson told the Untied Soybean Board the carryover of herbicides is different this year than in 2014 because of a wetter winter.

“I wouldn’t expect it to be much of a problem this year because we’ve had better moisture throughout the fall and

winter this past year,” Peterson said. “Fall herbicide treatments applied in 2013 had little moisture for breakdown to occur in the spring. That lack of moisture left farmers planting into fields with herbicide residues, which caused problems with the next (2014) crop.”

When he spoke at the 10year anniversary of Prairie City’s Green Acres on March 10, Grinnell’s Mike Pearson, host of the nationally syndicated program “Market to Market,” called beans “a riskier market,” and farmers should “really look to get them sold, in the near term.”

Farm Futures’ March total for soybeans was more than one million less than its January survey, after soybean margins eroded this winter.

While soybeans cost less to plant, they could lose more money per acre if prices don’t pick up as the year rolls along.

Zylstra said planting costs are certainly a factor in deciding on a corn-soybean balance.

“On many crop farms this year, it is hard to project a positive cash flow because of low prices for corn and soybeans,” Zylstra said. “The biggest factor in deciding what to plant for this year is, ‘What does it cost to plant the crop?’”

Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and ISU Extension will host the Soil Management and Land Valuation Conference from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. May 20 at the Scheman Building in Ames.

The conference is intended for farm managers, rural appraisers, real estate brokers and others interested in the land market in Iowa.

This is the longest running conference at Iowa State.

This year’s program will examine current issues in rural property management, appraisal, and sale/ purchase.

Current issues and their implications to soil management and land valuation will be presented by leading experts in the U.S. economy and its relationship to Iowa agriculture: weather and climate change and its impact upon agriculture; the use of unmanned aerial systems (drones) and how they can impact agriculture in Iowa; energy production, particularly hydraulic fracturing in oil production; and the impact of livestock production in Iowa and significant trends and changes occurring in the livestock industry and its relationship to Iowa agriculture and Iowa farmland.

Registration is $100. To register, visit www.extension.iastate.edu/registration/events/conferences/ soilmanagement.

Research shows soaring nitrate levels in Iowa rivers DES MOINES (AP) — Nitrate levels in Iowa rivers have soared since the 1950s, though recent efforts to control the spread of the fertilizer byproduct appear to be helping, research shows.

The Des Moines Register reported Sunday that nitrate levels have more than tripled between the 1950s and 2010, from an average of around 2 milligrams per liter from 1906-1954 to more than 7 milligrams per liter from 1954-2010. The federal standard is to have no more than 10 milligrams of nitrates per liter of water.

“It’s unmistakable. The long-term trend is decidedly upward,” said Keith Schilling, who studies nitrate levels for the Iowa Geological Survey at the University of Iowa.

But despite that increase, the levels have shown signs of ebbing more recently as farmers began to employ conversation practices that help keep nitrates out of rivers and streams, the newspaper reported, citing an analysis of water-quality research.

Bill Stowe, CEO of Des Moines Water Works, said the upstream counties need to take responsibility for their role in the elevated nitrate levels.

“We believe those districts have completely shirked their responsibility” over their contribution to nitrate levels in the Raccoon River, he said. “You can’t sidestep that and say, ‘Oh, there are diluted impacts beneath us, so we can do what we want.’”

Chris Jones, an environmental specialist with the Iowa Soybean Association, said farm groups generally support working together to find a solution to the state’s nitrate concerns instead of resorting to lawsuits.

Farm groups, including the Soybean Association, acknowledge that nitrate levels have generally increased over the years. But the data also shows little change in nitrate levels between 1984 and 2014, and slight improvement when measuring from 1994 and 2004, Jones said.

Research also shows that some of the things that help make Iowa farms so productive also make it easier for nitrates to spread.

Iowa naturally has high levels of nitrogen and other organic material in the soil. Some of that is lost every year, and it is easier for nitrates to wash away when there aren’t any plants in the field to absorb them.

High organic soil matter is “one of the reasons why we have such high production in Iowa,” Iowa State University professor Michael Castellano said. “It’s also one of the reasons we have nitrate losses.”

Local News Price said later he might like to revisit the complete lack of requirements for residency. A potential guideline of living in Jasper County was discussed by those who addressed the Employee Relations Committee — that may be addressed again in another reading of the ordinance.

Council Member Noreen Otto brought up the potential of being able to have an easier time finding qualified candidates for openings in city departments, especially at the fire and police departments.

“I think the spirit of the restriction is you want the people that are working to have a connection with the city and I don’t think that has changed.

However, I think a lot of other things have changed,” Otto said. “This issue at hand was brought specifically by the police department but I have had discussions with the fire department about the ability to recruit talent. I think that is probably top to bottom,

Continued from Page 1A of the committees helping produce the 400-student event. “The weather is unpredictable and always makes it tough to do anything outdoors with prom, and this allows us to make a lot of use of the school’s indoor space.”

The high school will be open from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday to allow the public to view all decorated areas. This year’s prom walk-in event will be hosted — for the sixth time — by Berg Middle School teachers Trent Powers and Tara Zehr.

The public will be allowed to view the walk-in, and will be allowed to fill the Center for Performance at about 8:15 p.m.

Powers and Zehr will start some trivia games at about 8:30 p.m, and couples will start to take the stage at about 8:45 p.m., with

boys introducing their prom dates to the audience. After the walkin, couples will head to the dance in the lower gym, and the general public will depart. All prom attendees must show up to the school by 10:15 p.m. to be admitted to the prom.

The dance ends at about 11:45 p.m. That’s when students head home to change, and staff will ready the lower gym for After-Prom dodgeball and volleyball. Richtsmeier said other After-Prom fun includes inflatables and a “Just Dance” game setup.

The entrance to the After Prom will be locked at 12:30 a.m.

At about 2:15 a.m., students will return to the Center for Performance, where door prizes will be awarded. A hypnotist will then make a presentation, expected to last about one hour.

That’s when After Prom officially ends, although Richtsmeier said many families around

Richtsmeier said there are many volunteers who help put prom and After Prom together by heading or serving on committees. She wants to praise Lora and Kenny Caves, Dr. Kristi Rhoads, Shelly Fitzgerald, Wendy Jenkins, Colette Ergenbright, Linda Reynolds and Amy Antle who help chair committees assigned to different elements of the evening. The student council decorates the gym.

Richtsmeier said parents of juniors are typically the ones involved in planning and helping with prom night.

“There are probably about 40 to 50 families who are helping with After Prom this year, so there are room for more,” Richtsmeier said.

“I think it’s going to be a safe, fun night.”

Wood opened a door, not intending to let the dog out, but the dog escaped and left the property.

After the 10-day veterinarian quarantine ends, Burdess, as police chief, will determine if the dog is vicious. At that time, if the owner has paid the veterinarian’s cost of housing the dog for the quarantine, the chief can choose to release the dog back to the owner.

If the housing fees are not paid by then, the dog will be euthanized.

Burdess was at Monday night’s Newton City Council meeting, and explained procedures. He didn’t have any exact numbers of recent dog-related calls compiled, but he said his department has deemed two dogs “problematic” within the past two weeks.

Heyveld also said that on April 6, she was walking dogs on leashes at the Newton Arboretum when her dachshund, Earl, was attacked by what she described as a “large pit bull” that had pulled out of its collar.

However, she didn’t report that particular incident to NPD. “I was knocked down and bitten on the hand when I tried to get the dog off of mine,” Heyveld said. “The owner eventually got her dog away from mine. Earl had to have stitches and suffered pain and severe bruising in his groin area.”

Newton City Code Chapter 13.0319 prohibits dogs, cats and pigs from “running at large.”

Coincidentally, the Newton City Council also addressed dogs at large as a part of its regular meeting, Monday holding the second of three planned readings of a proposed change to its Animal Control Ordinance. Heyveld described both attacks, and she asked the council how citizens can deal with animals at large.

Newton Mayor Mike Hansen said citizens should always call the police if a dog is at large, partly because it helps the sheriff or NPD document the amount of calls about a particular animal and/or location.

“If I’ve been in the veterinary field for 16 years, and didn’t know I could call the police, I’m wondering how many other people didn’t know that,” Heyveld said.

An amendment to the city’s ordinance requires all animals to be on a leash at all times that the dog is off of its owner or caretaker’s property.

Heyveld said she is more guarded than ever, and hopes other dog owners in the area don’t have to go through the same kind of experience.

“I am scared to take my dogs out of the house,” Heyveld said. “And I don’t want anyone else to lose a four-legged family member the way we lost Edna.”

Keeping Me on My Toes

Smile for the camera

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | April 21, 2015

With the invention of the camera phone, parents are able to take pictures of their kids at any time and in any quantity.

I am definitely one of those parents who is quick to pop out my phone and snap shots of my girls making funny faces or sleeping in a strange position.

I am also very guilty of amassing thousands of digital photos with very few hard copies printed out to display.

To help offset my lack of printing, a couple times of year we go to a professional photographer to get pictures we can hand out to grandparents, family and friends. Sunday was our latest appointment with a photographer, and it went about as well as I could hope.

Since the girls were born, we have gone to get pictures taken to document their growth, appease the family and fill their

frames. Almost every session went well, with the others being a little more frustrating and a lot more finger crossing that at least one photo came out OK. Since my youngest was born, it has become more of a challenge to get both girls on the same page.

It was semi-easy when my youngest was a baby and just laid and posed as my oldest tends to listen and follow directions a little better. From that point on, it was a hope and a prayer that the girls would cooperate enough to make the session worth it.

For the most part, we have always had a selection to pick from. When starting with our new photographer, we were able to go outside and have more interactive photos of the girls. A lot of the time when they show their personalities

during the session, those pictures turn out to be the best.

One of my favorites of my youngest is her sticking out her tongue with a grin.

This year, I was hoping to also get a family picture, as we hadn’t done one for a couple years. I was also wanting to get two different outfits because I liked their Easter dresses so much. We started out in the studio since the weather wasn’t the best. The girls explored and the photographer did great catching them when they decided to pose or give a funny face to the camera.

We sat down, stood up and held the girls to hopefully get a family photo to hang on the wall. I have complete confidence one will show the girls in their best light, and my husband and I will look good enough in the background.

My youngest wasn’t cooperating the best, which means she just wanted to play and not sit still and smile so after an outfit change we headed outside during a patch of decent weather. The girls love it outside and ran and played to their hearts desire. Once again, sitting and holding hands was out of the question but hopefully a few of them running and laughing made the cut.

I really have no expectations when getting their pictures taken and pray they behave well enough for the photographer to not leave me shaking my head. Overall, this last outing went pretty well and I can’t wait to see the final shots.

State View

Gas tax revisited “We can’t afford to wait!”

That’s the theme proponents of raising the gas tax consistently emphasized to Iowans just a few short months ago.

“Iowa’s bridges are unsafe.”

“The money allocated for the Road Use Tax Fund is constituBy Greg tionally protectHeartsill ed.”

Iowa These are just a few more of the Representative arguments we heard to justify the 10-cent per gallon hike in the gas tax.

Only six weeks after the gas tax hike is implemented do we get to see a picture of the Iowa Department of Transportation’s true priorities. Of the $33 million generated by the increase during the four months from March 1, when the increased tax took effect, through the end of the fiscal year on June 30, the lion’s share will go to build a new divided highway in northwest Iowa. Another $2.7 million is earmarked for guardrail and median cable barrier installation on I-35.

The DOT’s priority list only includes two bridges thus far.

By the DOT’s own admission, neither one of these bridges are currently considered “structurally deficient.”

I am not going to argue

against the benefits of completing the U.S. Highway 20 project or the safety features from updating guardrails and median cables on Interstate 35 or making improvements to bridges that prevents them from falling into greater need of repair.

The point, however, is that none of these items were identified as priorities in the weeks and months leading up to the passage of the gas tax increase.

That’s not what was advertised to Iowans.

Then there is situation in Clinton, where the city council opted to spend the additional $225,000 of new gas-tax revenue — not on street repairs — but on the salaries for three new city employees. How does this comply with “the 10-cent tax revenue will be constitutionally protected?”

The city attorney for Clinton felt the law allows gas tax revenue to be used on salaries for employees who occasionally will work on road projects.

Apparently, the three new employees would work in the city’s street department and would be responsible for mowing, snow removal and other duties, as reported by the Clinton Herald.

If the proponents of raising the gas tax would have told you they wanted to use the extra revenue to hire more employees, increase salaries, buy land to expand an existing highway, and resurface a couple of bridges that are not considered “structurally

deficient,” would you have been in favor of that increase?

Given government’s track record for how it typically fritters away taxpayer money with little or no accountability, I strongly opposed this tax hike. I had specifically called for critical needs projects to be identified before voting on the gas tax increase.

I had explicitly asked for clearly defined parameters to be placed on new revenue that would be generated by this additional burden on Iowa families.

Last week in the Iowa House during debate on the Transportation Omnibus bill, I took the opportunity to remind my colleagues on the House floor that in order for us to keep the public trust, it is imperative to make certain that money goes to where we said it would go.

That is what I believe is wrong with our government, a lack of public accountability.

Long ago, President James Garfield summed it up, “Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them ...”

Those words ring true, now, more than ever.

I’ve noticed something recently. One of the things I get paid to do is notice things.

I g r e w up in a time a n d place where a n y By Marc Dion adult m a l e could call any female “honey” or “sweetheart” or “darling.”

The woman who served you breakfast, your insurance agent, the woman who sold you cigarettes, bank tellers. The women frequently “honey-ed” you right back, too.

I did it, too, but I quit it when I moved to New England, a colder spot in more ways than one.

Recently, here in frequently snowcapped Massachusetts, I’ve been getting sweetie-ed by the woman at my coffee shop, the woman at my convenience store, at a diner I frequent, the dry cleaner and a few other spots. The women who “honey” me can very properly be called “girls” by me, since I am 57 and they all appear to be in their 20s.

There I am, tweedcapped and gray bearded, reeking of pipe smoke and pained maturity, a $5 bill in my fist, standing before the cash register in the drugstore, the other hand clutching a package of rainbow-colored malted milk Easter eggs. She takes my money, this Amber or Brenna or Desiree and hands back the change.

“Have a nice day, honey,” she says.

“Thanks, kid,” I mutter, glancing around for the camera that is secretly recording her harassment of me, or my harassment

of her.

Perhaps the young women of this generation are more secure, more playful, less inclined to be strident n their feminism, though it’s hard to see how female minimum-wage retail workers can be anything BUT strident.

Or perhaps it’s a linguistic fad, a change in the slang. That is very possible likely because all of the women who have begun sweetie-ing in the last year are women of low incomes and slang blossoms most beautifully among the poor. Rich men’s kids talk rap talk invented by poor men’s kids, not the other way around.

I do not “honey” back at these women.

A man my age who throws “honey” at a 22-year-old store clerk can end up in baseball bat or gun trouble with either her boyfriend or her father, both of whom are younger than me. If I want a fair fight, I’m gonna have to scrap with her grandfather.

And maybe that’s it; maybe all the “sweethearts” and “dears” are not a trend within feminism or a rising new slang. Maybe I am so old now that young girls think me both cute and harmless and they say “honey,” to me as they would if it was their job to tuck me in at the nursing home while praising me for having had a good bowel movement.

“Have a nice night, sweetie,” she says as I leave the liquor store with a six-pack.

And I walk out slowly, no longer a dangerous man.

Mary Ellen Juett April 14, 2015 Mary Ellen Juett, the daughter of Robert and Barbara (McElw e e ) McNeer, was born on Jan. 22, 1945, in Des Moines.

She spent most of her years growing up in Newton and attended The Hammer Country School and later, Newton Senior High School. She graduated from Newton Sr. High in 1964.

Mary was united in marriage with Monte Juett on June 4, 1966 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Newton. Mary was a lifelong member of Sacred Heart Church and was very devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary worked at Thorp Credit, was an accomplished

alhomes.com.

Mary was born on March 22, 1929, to Sumner Reed and Maria Hazel (Smith) Parsons on a farm just south of Algona, Iowa. Mary Lee attended country schools and by the age of nine was already helping her teachers teach her fellow classmates with reading and math. Mary graduated from Burt High School at the age of 16, then went on to attend Wartburg College, graduating with a twoyear teaching certificate.

She then went on to her first teaching job at Hanlontown. There she met John Oliveria, he was the superintendent of the golf course there.

They married at the Little Brown Church in Nashua in June of 1949. To this union one daughter was born in February of 1953, Vicky

Lee was their only child.

The family then moved to San Antonio, Texas for the next 17 years.

Mary and John divorced in 1969, and Mary and Vicky moved back to Iowa. She went back to school at Drake University, graduating in 1969, while teaching in Colfax. Mary taught at Colfax until her retirement in 1989. She then accepted a position as a teacher’s assistant at Sacred Heart School in West Des Moines for another 13 years. She never left teaching. It was her first love and knew if you had an education there wasn’t anything you couldn’t do and accomplish. She loved gardening and watching things grow.

She loved her many pets through the years and always had a dog or two. Being a teach-

er, she loved helping her great-grandchildren with their homework and reading to them.

The times we all shared together will be greatly missed.

Those left to honor her memory include her daughter, Vicky Lee (Patrick) Olivera Ingraham Iverson; three grandchildren, Kristina Ingraham, Joel Ingraham and Anthony Iverson; and three great grandchildren, Zevin Lander, Kaytlynn Ingraham and Addison Kochheiser. She will also be missed by her brother, Russell Reed (Caradene) Parsons of Burt and her sister, Barbara (Ray) Parsons Dvorak of Arlington, Texas; as well as her nieces and nephews. Preceding her in death were her parents and a step-grandchild, Jeremy Iverson.

Avon Representative for many years and a compassionate in-home caregiver for so many in the Newton community.

Mary cared deeply for all those she assisted.

She felt it was her calling to help others and this was one of her true joys in life. Mary was in every way a wonderful homemaker. She was such a kind, thoughtful and nurturing wife and mother. Mary lived a life abounding with love, laughter and silliness with her many brothers, two sisters, in-laws, nieces, nephews and cousins. Mary’s love for her grandchildren was immeasurable.

They were her whole heart. She did so much for many, and the absence of our “quiet giant” will be felt by all those fortunate to have Mary in their life.

Mary entered into heaven, at the age of 70, on Tuesday, April 14, 2015 at Mercy

Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa. She was preceded in death by her husband, Monte Juett, parents, Robert and Barbara (McElwee) McNeer, brother, Robert McNeer, his wife, Rose Anne McNeer, sister, Patricia (McNeer) Woody, her husband, Delmar Woody, sister in law, Betty McNeer, Sister in law, Mary McNeer, two grandchildren, (Brenna Kathleen McFadden), Mary’s Mother and Father in-law, Victor and Marge Juett, and Monte’s mother, Shirley (Riepe) Juett.

Fleet, Caitlin Mary McFadden, Natalie Marie McFadden, and Blake Patrick McFadden; sister, Theresa (McNeer) Clark, brothers, James (Anne) McNeer, John McNeer, Charles McNeer, brother in law, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and friends that she adored.

Readers have strong views on claiming seats in church

DEAR ABBY: May I comment on your response to “Got Here First in Pennsylvania” ( Jan. 7), who asked whether someone sitting at the end of a church pew should move if someone comes and says it’s his or her “favorite seat”?

There are many reasons why people remain sitting at the end of a pew: an allergy to perfumes can be overwhelming if you’re sitting in the middle of a row; claustrophobia; weak bladder; physical limitations; the need for more leg room; and the need to use the armrest to stand up and sit down.

The early bird DOES get the worm and shouldn’t be expected to give it to latecomers. Likewise, possession is nine-tenths of the law.

If people have a favorite seat, they should arrive early to ensure they’ll get it. That’s what we do. And when someone wants to sit in the same pew, we smile, step aside and let the person in while retaining our end seats. — OVERLAND PARK, KAN., ATTENDEE DEAR ATTENDEE: Thank you for making your strongly stated case.

When I told “Got Here” to be an angel and shove over, readers were quick to offer me “chapter and verse”: DEAR ABBY: I’m 6 feet 2 inches, weigh 350 pounds and have size 15 feet. I am not the guy you would want to have to crawl over, or have crawl over you in church.

When sitting at the end of the pew, I can easily step into the aisle to let people in and out. I also take a medication that causes me to use the restroom often and on short notice.

Again, I can easily move about without worrying about trampling some little old lady.

I arrive early and take my end seat not to be rude, but to make things as convenient as possible for others. — DOUG B. IN MILWAUKEE

DEAR ABBY: As a pastor, I believe good behavior should come first and foremost from church members who respect others and don’t insist on their own way. Nobody “owns” a seat in the sanctuary. As creatures of habit, we tend to sit where we usually sit. If someone else happens to be there, we simply find somewhere else.

If “Got Here” was just starting to visit that church, I’d suggest he/she find a more charitable and hospitable congregation and leave those territorial folks behind. — JEANNE IN AUSTIN DEAR ABBY: How can you say that one person, in the house of God, is more right than another in this situation? Is the shovee not committing the sin of coveting that seat? — MISSOULA, MONT., READER DEAR ABBY: If you are first to arrive at an empty pew, take a place in the middle. Thus later arrivals won’t have to climb over you. It’s common courtesy! — PAT IN BLOOMFIELD, MO. DEAR ABBY: Having worked in a fire department for many years, I always sit at the end of the pew. That way I won’t have to knock over any fellow parishioners when my pager goes off! — LOUIE IN SOMERSET, OHIO

CEDAR FALLS — Authorities say a woman has died in a three-vehicle accident in Cedar Falls.

Cedar Falls police said in a statement that a preliminary investigation shows that 82-year-old Andrew Ahrenholz of New Hartford was traveling northbound on Highway 58. He was making a left turn Monday when he was struck by a southbound vehicle driven by 84-year-old Russell Schultz. The resulting crash led to a third vehicle being hit.

DUBUQUE — The Dubuque City Council has decided to eliminate jail time as a penalty for misdemeanor crimes prosecuted by the city. The council voted 7-0 Monday for a proposal to change the city ordinance. The city currently follows state law, which allows the option of jail time for vandalism, theft, disorderly conduct, public intoxication and other simple misdemeanors.

persuade child to have sex

CEDAR RAPIDS — An eastern Iowa man has pleaded guilty in a Cedar Rapids federal court to attempting to entice a 12-year-old to have sex with him.

Nineteen-year-old Colton Rickels of Monticello pleaded guilty Monday to one count of attempted enticement of a minor.

He admitted that he used the Internet to persuade, induce, entice or coerce the child into sexual activity in October 2014. He will remain in custody pending a sentence hearing, which hasn’t yet been set.

GARNER — Jurors are set to resume deliberating in the trial of a former Iowa lawmaker accused of sexually abusing his wife, who was suffering from dementia.

Closing arguments were delivered and jurors deliberated Monday before adjourning.

They resumed at 9 a.m. Tuesday. The case centers on the question of when a person is no longer capable of giving consent for sexual relations. Prosecutors say 78-year-old Henry Rayhons had sex with his wife at a nursing home May 23 after being told she was no longer mentally capable of consenting.

5 City considers seeking help for night transit service

MASON CITY — Mason City officials are considering adding nighttime transit service to augment the daytime bus schedule. Transit director Pat Otto says the proposal would make public transportation available to second- and third-shift workers, to people going to night classes or to job training. Most bus routes are run from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Colfax man arrested in handgun incident late to court, warrant issued then recalled

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune An arrest warrant was issued Monday but later rescinded after a Colfax man facing weapons charges for pulling a handgun on a police officer in December arrived several hours late for a mandatory court appearance.

Matthew S. Holett, 23, is charged with carrying weapons, an aggravated misdemeanor and interference with official acts, a Class D felony, after pulling a .22 caliber handgun while being detained at 12:36 a.m. Dec. 13 by Colfax police in the 10 block of East Howard Street.

Holett According to Jasper County District Court records, Holett was scheduled to appear at 9:30 a.m. Monday at the courthouse in Newton, for a pretrial conference. After the 23-year-old was a no show, Judge Gregory Hulse issued a warrant for Holett’s arrest. Documents state the defendant later appeared voluntarily and the warrant was recalled.

Holett also waived his right to a speedy trial Monday, the case was continued and is now scheduled to go before a jury at 9 a.m. July 8. Holett was originally scheduled to see trial May 20.

Dashcam footage obtained from the incident shows Holett pulling a pistol from his waistband during the arrest. Holett began yelling at police after he arrived on scene during the arrest of another man seen in the video urinating on the side of a building.

Holett was also charged with interference with officials acts, third-degree theft and possession of marijuana stemming from the incident, and the Colfax resident has outstanding drug charges from a June 24, 2014 arrest.

Branstad questions city’s fuel-tax spending plan DES MOINES (AP) — It would be a “mistake” for an eastern Iowa city to use additional fuel tax revenue to hire staff instead of spending it on road and bridge work, Gov. Terry Branstad said Monday.

The proposal from city officials in Clinton “violates the spirit” of the fuel tax increase, approved by lawmakers this session, Branstad said at his weekly news conference.

“I think it would be a mistake to use this additional money, which is supposed to go for roads and bridges ... in the city of Clinton, or any of the other cities and counties, to hire more staff,” he said.

AP Photo In this file photo, chickens stand in their cages at a farm near Stuart. Discovery of the bird flu on an Iowa turkey farm has raised serious concerns that the bird killer could find its way into chicken barns in the nation’s top egg-producing state and rapidly decimate the flocks that provide the U.S. with its breakfast staple.

Bird flu confirmed at Iowa farm with 5.3 million chickens

By David Pitt The Associated Press DES MOINES — Up to 5.3 million hens at an Iowa farm must be destroyed after the highly infectious and deadly bird flu virus was confirmed, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday.

The farm in northwest Iowa’s Osceola County has nearly 10 percent of the state’s egg-laying hens.

Iowa is home to roughly 59 million hens that lay nearly one in every five eggs consumed in the country.

Egg industry marketing experts say it’s too early to predict the impact on prices, but say it’s unlikely to immediately cause a spike or a shortage, because number of chickens that are to be euthanized is a little more than 1 percent of the nation’s egg layers.

“Don’t panic. Let’s wait and see,” said poultry industry consultant Simon Shane, who also teaches poultry science and veterinary medicine at North Carolina State University.

He added that if 20 million to 30

million hens are infected, consumers could start seeing prices rise.

Several Midwestern states have been affected by the outbreaks, costing turkey and chicken producers nearly 7.8 million birds since March. The virus was first detected in Minnesota, the country’s top turkey-producing state, in early March and the H5N2 virus has since shown up on commercial farms in Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. On Monday, the virus was confirmed in another turkey farm in Minnesota and a backyard flock of mixed birds in Wisconsin.

The Osceola County farm provides shell eggs and liquid egg products to the market.

“It may not have a direct effect on shell egg pricing but any time you take production out of a marketplace there’s likely to be some consequence,” Iowa Poultry Association Executive Director Randy Olson said. “I anticipate the market and production will recover, but right now we’re reminding people

that this is not a food safety issue and it’s not a human health issue.”

Olson said he’s confident authorities have identified the extent of the outbreak and have a plan to control it.

It’s the first chicken farm in Iowa to be affected by the virus, which was confirmed at a turkey farm in the state last week.

The chickens on the large operation reside in more than 20 houses, said Dustin Vande Hoef, a spokesman for Iowa Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey.

“It’s a huge challenge for this producer and highlights the importance of biosecurity and other producers trying to take steps to limit the spread of this disease,” he said.

The Center for Disease Control and the Iowa Department of Public Health considers the risk to people from these infections in wild birds, backyard flocks and commercial poultry, to be low. No human infections with the virus have ever been detected.

Newton Lions to host pancake breakfast Saturday The Newton Lions Club will host a pancake breakfast 7 to 10 a.m. on Saturday at the Jasper County Senior Center, 702 E. Third St. S. in Newton.

Proceeds of the breakfast will be used towards community service projects.

Past projects include eyeglass and hearing aid assistance, Jasper Co Animal Rescue League, Jasper County Freedom Flight, Leader dog puppy program, Willowbrook Adult Day Care, Jasper County Food Pantry, Central Iowa Bicycle Club, Newton Salvation Army, Kidsight (vision screening for toddlers), trees for Newton Parks and Newton Red Pride Day.

7 percent corn seed now planted, ag secretary says DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented Monday on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“A lot of field work was done last week and many farmers were able to get a start on corn planting, with 7 percent now planted. The rain this weekend was welcomed in most of the state and is helping to replenish soil moisture levels and green up pastures,” Northey said.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia.

The report summary follows here: A productive week of fieldwork was halted by weekend rains in Iowa during the week ending April 19, 2015, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 4.4 days suitable for fieldwork. Activities for the week included manure hauling, tillage, oat seeding, anhydrous application, and some corn planting.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 13 percent short, 76 percent adequate and 10 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 18 percent short, 76 percent adequate and 4 percent surplus. North central Iowa reported the highest topsoil moisture level with 98 percent in adequate to surplus, while west central and north central Iowa reported the highest subsoil moisture levels with both at 90 percent adequate to surplus.

Seven percent of the corn acreage has been planted, 4 days ahead of last year, but equal to the 5-year average. Nearly onethird of the State’s expected oat crop was planted during the week, third highest percentage seeded for the third week of April in 20 years. Seventy-four percent of the oat crop has been planted, over two weeks ahead of last year, and one week ahead of the average. Oats emerged reached 21 percent, one week ahead of last year, but fractionally behind normal.

Pasture condition improved to 52 percent good to excellent.

Pastures continued to green up, with reports coming out of central Iowa of cows being moved to pasture. Livestock conditions were reported as good.

Coen, Kalkhoff take golds at Dowling Invite

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News WEST DES MOINES — Just a tune-up for the 2015 Drake Relays later this week, Newton High’s Grace Coen and Sarah Kalkhoff had strong performances in Monday’s Dowling Catholic Girls Invitational track meet.

Sarah Kalkhoff threw more than 130 feet for the second time this season in winning the discus event at 133 feet, 5 inches. She also captured gold in the shot put at 36.7. Kalkhoff competes in both events at the Drake Relays in Des Moines.

Coen and Kalkhoff led the Cardinals to a sixth-place finish at Dowling. Newton scored 58 points. Ankeny Centennial was first with 140 points and Dowling placed second with 102.5 points.

“It was a tough night of competition with our fellow 4A schools and the strong wind,” said Rachel Tomas, Newton head coach. “I was proud of our efforts and attitude tonight. I ended up hav-

NHS golfers handle adverse Tigers deal Cardinal girls first LHC setback in three years conditions at Valley Classic

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News WEST DES MOINES — Working through tough playing conditions — windy, cold and damp — Newton High’s Cardinals put together a sixth-place finish in Monday’s Valley Classic.

“It was not weather conducive to golf. I’m proud how our girls fought through the weather conditions and gave a great effort on the course,” said Scott Enyart, Newton head coach. “Scores for everyone and every teams were higher than expected.

“The best thing about today was now we’ve got our first 18-hole tournament under our belts.”

The high school girls played the Red Nine and White Nine at Willow Creek Golf Course in West Des Moines. The Red is a par 37 and the White is a par 36.

Newton finished sixth in a field of 15 teams. The Cardinals posted a four-player total of 401. Waukee won the tournament with a 360 followed by Atlantic with a GOLF | 8B

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News GRINNELL — It has been a long time since Newton High’s girls lost a regular-season Little Hawkeye Conference tennis dual meet.

Grinnell’s Tigers roared to a 10-1 win over the Cardinals Monday. The Cardinals are 1-1 in LHC play this season. Newton had gone 6-0 in the past two seasons in conference dual action, winning 15 straight.

“Grinnell is a strong team top to bottom. Outside of the couple matches were blown

out in, the matches that were close were really, really close,” said Erick Zehr, Newton head coach. “If we had won the close matches instead of losing them, it would have been a different story.”

Players had to contend with very windy and cold conditions throughout the meet. Zehr said there were times it was spitting rain.

“It was not a great day for tennis,” he said.

Cardinal boys take on district-type competition

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News NORWALK — On a windy, cool day, there weren’t any personal-best performances turned in by Newton High’s boys at Monday’s Norwalk Boys Invitational track meet.

Newton boys’ head coach Tom Bartello wasn’t disappointed considering the weather.

“This meet had competition similar to our district meet,” he said. “It gave us an idea of where we’re at as individuals and as a team as well as what we need to work on to prepare for the district meet.”

Newton scored 34 points, finishing eighth. Urbandale tallied 133 points for first place. The top eight finishers in each event scored team points.

It was the final invitational before this week’s Drake Relays. Newton’s Deonne Harris goes to the Drake Relays for the third straight time, qualified in the 110-meter high hurdles.

Harris stayed undefeated in his main event, winning the 110 hurdles in 14.95 seconds at Norwalk. J.T. Thongvanh competed for the first time this season, taking eighth in 16.93 seconds.

Jake Bennett finished sixth in the 400 hurdles in 1

minute, 3.49 seconds. Harris, Thongvanh, Bennett and Jaron Roush combined to place third in the shuttle hurdle relay race in 1:02.95.

Matthew Karsten ran eighth in the 100-meter dash in 11.83 seconds and

Thongvanh was 10th in 11.85. Karsten took 11th in the 200 in 25.33 seconds and Harrison McCarey placed 15th in 26.41.

Christian Laube ran under five minutes in the 1,600 for the second straight meet,

placing seventh in 4:59.01.

This & That

CMB’s Samson comes full circle with football career Zach Samson wanted to give Division I football a shot.

The former Collins-Maxwell/Baxter standout had a choice to make after his high school career ended.

He could either walk-on and try to work his way into the two-deep depth chart at Iowa State University By Troy Hyde or play football Newton Daily for the Beavers News of Buena Vista Sports Writer in Storm Lake.

When he made the decision to play for the Cyclones he had no idea he would still end up at Buena Vista.

But after one year of being a scout team player for the Cyclones, Samson has decided to move on and has chosen to spend the next four years of his collegiate career playing for Jay Anderson and the Beavers, who went 5-5 last year.

“They were both good schools, but I wanted to take a chance at playing Division I football,” Samson said of his decision to play for the Cyclones after high school. “It was a good experience, and I learned a lot. I felt like I had something to offer, but after looking at the depth chart in the spring, I wasn’t happy with where I was sitting.”

Samson packed several pounds of muscle at Iowa State. He is bigger than he was at CMB, but still has his sights set on playing quarterback for the Beavers.

To do that, he will have to compete against two incoming juniors who also played high school football in the state of Iowa. But he is ready for the challenge.

“They told me that I’ll get a chance to play quarterback and they run a similar offense as what I ran at CMB,” Samson said. “They run a lot of spread and zone read stuff.”

Samson, who was a twotime state champion in the shot put at CMB, will do what he can to play quarterback, but he also knows he may have to play elsewhere to see the field early.

That would be similar to the path his older brother Danny took in his collegiate football journey. Danny began his career with the hopes of playing QB at Truman State but ended up as an All-American defensive lineman at Central College.

Zach Samson hopes his year at Iowa State will help him play the QB position better.

“I learned how a defense moves more when I played the scout team at ISU and I learned about linebackers and what they are watching for on defense,” Zach Samson said.

“I also learned a ton about strength and conditioning, too.”

There was a lot that Samson liked about Buena Vista. He likes that the school is located near several lakes. He enjoys being outdoors as he grew up on a farm in Baxter. Fishing and improving his golf game will be something he takes part in when he is not battling for playing time on the gridiron.

He will have four years of eligibility left when he arrives in Storm Lake in August. He plans to live on campus during the year and will spend this summer working with Danny and his father on the family farm.

The annual Drake Relays return to Drake Stadium in Des Moines this week.

It’s always prestigious to compete in the event and a few of the area tracksters have solid chances to come home with top 10 finishes.

Action kicked off Sunday with the Beautiful Bulldog Contest, continues Tuesday with the Grand Blue Mile and Wednesday with the Street Vault at Court Avenue.

Thursday begins the first full day of action and it continues through the weekend.

The biggest day for me personally comes Sunday when I attempt my third Drake Relays 10K. I say attempt because I am still working my way back from a bout with mono.

My goal right now is to finish. But I am sure I will have higher expectations once I hit the streets Sunday morning.

Hurley, Spencer lead CMB to runner-up finish

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News GILBERT — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls’ track and field coach Jerry Meinerts said his Raiders didn’t run their best during the annual Bengal Relays on a windy Monday night.

CMB defeated West Marshall on its home track last week, but the Trojans got the better of the Raiders a week later. The Raiders won four events and were second in four others, but trailed West Marshall by 20 points in the team standings.

Bridget Hurley was first or second in all four of her races as she helped the Raiders score 147 points and finish second in the Class B standings. West Marshall won it with 167, while East Marshall (135), Madrid (117) and South Hamilton (90) rounded out the first five and GMG was sixth with 47 points.

“It wasn’t our best meet by any means,” Meinerts said.

“Individually, we did some nice things, but then we would come back with some poor performances. We just didn’t do well enough as a team to win the meet.”

Hurley won the 400-meter dash in 1 minute, 3 seconds and was second in the 200 in 28.40 seconds. Hurley also anchored the 4x100 relay to a season-best time as Mackenzie Schmitz, Toni Spencer and Maddy Poage helped Hurley

cross in 53.20 seconds.

“We ran Bridget hard tonight and she responded well again,” Meinerts said.

Spencer won the long jump with a career-best leap of 15 feet, 9.5 inches and Payge Jurgens grabbed the gold in the shot put with a toss of 36-2.

Spencer’s second-place finish in the 100 was clocked at a season-best 13.18 seconds and Mikayla Eslinger’s runner-up tally in the discus was marked at a season-best 99-4.

The final second-place finish came in the 4x800 where Hurley, Carter Larson, Elisabeth Balke and Whitney Spencer hit the line in 11:43.

The two third-place finishes were from Schmitz in the 100 and th 4x200 relay team.

Schmitz completed the 100 in a season-best 13.44 seconds and the 4x200 relay team of Spencer, Ritter, Poage and Schmitz crossed the line in 2 minutes flat.

Winter Brown was fourth in the 3,000, Brianda Bane was fourth in the 100 hurdles and Larson was fourth in the 400 hurdles. The sprint medley relay team also was fourth as the foursome of Poage, Ritter, Schmitz and Eslinger finished in 2:09.

The Raiders return to action at 4:30 p.m. Thursday as they host a girls’ only meet in Baxter.

PCM’s Maher claims another medalist honor

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ALTOONA — Prairie City-Monroe’s Breanna Maher won another medalist honor Monday at the Bondurant-Farrar Girls Invitational at Terrace Hills Golf Course.

Maher tied with Norwalk’s Jenna Migleiro with a 44, but the cardback went Maher’s way.

The Mustangs as a team were one shot better than Col-

lins-Maxwell/Baxter. PCM shot a 254 and finished in fifth, while the Raiders carded a 255 in sixth.

Norwalk won the meet with a 195 and Bondurant-Farrar was next at 214. Panorama finished third with a 233 and Iowa Falls was fourth with a 235.

“Breanna had another good round of golf despite the wind and strong gusts,” PCM coach Val Edwards said. “We struggled with the wind as a team

but some scores were better than last week.”

CMB’s Courtney Clapper shot a 52 to lead the Raiders.

She finished in a four-way tie for seventh.

Abbie Ericson shot a 61 for CMB and the final two counting scores were Zoee Risdal’s 65 and Hailey Buseman’s 77.

After Maher for PCM was Sabrina Reed’s 65, Ellie Steenhoek’s 66 and Abby Van Haafter’s 79.

“I am still pleased with the

girls’ scores as I can see improvements in different areas each meet,” Edwards said.

“Our short game still seems to give us the most trouble.”

Next up for the Mustangs is an 18-hole meet at Lincoln Valley Golf Course in State Center at 2 p.m. Tuesday.

CMB-CN is off until May 1 when it travels to Saydel.

PCM boys finish eighth, C-M 12th at West Marshall

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STATE CENTER — Colfax-Mingo’s Jimmy Abell has been either medalist or runner-up medalist in three of the Tigerhawks’ first four meets this season.

Hawkeyes look to replace Davis, Trinca-Pasat on line

By Luke Meredith The Associated Press

NASCAR photo Denny Hamlin, driver of the #11 FedEx Freight Toyota, climbs in his car prior to the start of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday in Bristol, Tennessee. Hamlin became the fourth Sprint Cup Series driver to require a replacement when he pulled out of Sunday’s race at Bristol Motor Speedway with neck spasms.

New format means injured drivers no longer must race BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — There was a time in NASCAR when skipping a race because of illness or injury was simply not considered. Rather than sit out with swollen eyes, Ricky Rudd used tape to keep them open. Richard Petty ran three races hiding a broken neck from NASCAR officials.

That bravado — foolishness? — in drivers is no more.

Denny Hamlin became the fourth Sprint Cup Series driver to require a replacement when he pulled out of Sunday’s race at Bristol Motor Speedway with neck spasms. Hamlin felt fine at the start but said he felt something pop around Lap 12.

Rain 10 laps later gave him a nearly four-hour delay to work on the pain, but he turned his car over to 18-year-old Erik Jones when the race resumed.

“I’m no use to the team like this,” Hamlin said from the garage. “In this win-andyou’re-in format, there’s no point in me being out there if I can’t win.”

Indeed, changes to the championship format have given drivers the flexibility to admit they are not healthy enough to drive. NASCAR last season expanded the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field to 16 slots and said a win would automatically ensure a driver a berth in the playoffs.

So when Hamlin was parked one race last March by medical officials who said an issue with his eye was not suitable for racing, there was no panic: All he had to do was collect a victory by the 26th race of the season to remain eligible for championship competition.

Before the Chase, which began in 2004 and has steadily evolved, missing a race would ruin a driver’s championship chances. Sometimes it could even cost him his job if the team owner or sponsor balked at his absence.

The system caused Dale Earnhardt Jr. to conceal a concussion early in his career and led to countless other hidden ailments from drivers too determined to play through the pain.

Hamlin, who picked up his Chase-qualifying win last month, saw no need for such heroics. Nor did car owner Joe Gibbs, who flew Jones in from North Carolina during the rain delay but almost balked at putting him in his first career Cup race when he arrived just five minutes before the rain delay ended.

Gibbs said Hamlin was willing to get back into his car and drive at least until the first caution.

“He was honest with me.

He said, ‘I’m not 100 percent,’”

Gibbs said. “But you don’t want somebody, an athlete like that, getting in a car like that.

So as we talked it over, I just said, ‘Hey, look, let’s don’t do this. Let’s put Erik in there.’

“I think we made the right decision. Hopefully with that, we didn’t aggravate anything else, so hopefully he gets some treatment, and then we’ll be good to go next week.”

Kyle Busch, Hamlin’s JGR teammate, has missed the first eight races this year after breaking his right leg and left foot in a crash the day before the Daytona 500. Although he does not know when he’ll return, he said last week he was holding out hope he’d receive a medical waiver from NASCAR that would make him eligible for the Chase if he qualified.

Brian Vickers is sidelined indefinitely for treatment of blood clots, but NASCAR granted him a waiver when he missed the first two races of the season as he recovered from offseason heart surgery.

Kyle Larson was not allowed to race last month at Martinsville Speedway after fainting a day earlier during an appearance. It took nearly three days in the hospital for dehydration to be diagnosed, and he’s now seeking a win that will get him into the Chase.

Bryant’s three RBIs lead Cubs over rival Pirates PITTSBURGH (AP) — Kris Bryant had so much fun rounding the bases that the star rookie felt like he was a kid again.

And why not?

Bryant turned his tiebreaking two-run double into a Little League homer with some heads-up baserunning, and had three hits and three RBIs Monday night to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Bryant’s double off the base of the left-center field fence in the seventh inning snapped a 1-all tie. He advanced to third base on the throw home and raced across the plate when catcher Francisco Cervelli missed the throw for an error.

“That was fun,” Bryant said with a grin. “I don’t ever remember ever running all around the bases like that before.”

Bryant, who tied the game with an RBI single in the fifth, is 6 for 14 (.429) with four RBIs in four games since his much-anticipated callup from Triple-A Iowa on Friday. He was a spring training sensation, hitting nine home runs in 40 at-bats for the Cubs.

“He’s doing a nice job and there’s a really nice slow heartbeat going on right now,”

Chicago manager Joe Maddon said. “He’s just out there playing the game really like I thought he would coming out of spring training.”

Bryant could be joined Tuesday on the Cubs by another top prospect, Addison Russell. The shortstop began playing second base in Triple-A Iowa last weekend, a position that has been a problem in the Cubs’ lineup.

“You never know where the need is going to be on the major league level,” Maddon said.

“Being a little bit more proactive regarding prepping (Russell) for a need that might be open here.”

Cubs second basemen were hitting a combined .135 entering Monday. Chicago has already had three players start at the position in the season’s first 12 games — Arismendy Alcantara, Jonathan Herrera and Tommy La Stella.

Russell is hitting .318 with one home run, nine RBIs and one stolen base in 11 games for Iowa.

“You think his bat may be ready to play, you have to get him a position to play,” Maddon said.

Jake Arrieta (2-1) allowed only one run and three hits in seven innings for the win

while striking out seven and walking none.

“We’ve seen their starting pitcher before and we know how good he is,” Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said.

“Some nights, there really isn’t anything you can do but tip your hat to the opposing pitcher. He pitched a great game, so all we can do is go home and come back tomorrow.”

Jorge Soler, another rookie, went 4 for 5 with a one-out double in the seventh that started the go-ahead rally.

Anthony Rizzo followed by drawing a walk then Bryant hit his double off Arquimedes Camninero (0-1).

Rizzo and Starlin Castro each had two of the Cubs’ 14 hits.

Starling Marte homered for the Pirates, who had their three-game winning streak snapped in the bottom of the ninth inning and Andrew McCutchen had two hits, including an RBI single in the ninth.

It was Marte’s third home run in four games.

Pirates starter A.J. Burnett allowed one run and eight hits in six innings. He walked two and struck out one.

The start of the game was delayed 28 minutes because of rain.

DES MOINES — Iowa’s defense struggled at times last season even with stalwarts Carl Davis and Louis Trinca-Pasat anchoring its line.

Finding suitable replacements for those All-Big Ten tackles will be crucial for Iowa next fall.

T h e Hawkeyes will break in a pair of new starters on the inside next fall, with juniors Jaleel Johnson and Faith Ekakitie and sophomore Nathan Bazata set to fill in for Davis and Trinca-Pasat. Iowa concludes spring practice April 25 with an open workout in Kinnick Stadium.

“We really like the group of guys that we’re working with. They really care about each other. They’re working hard. They want to get better, and they’re extremely coachable,” Iowa defensive line coach Reese Morgan said.

The Hawkeyes are fortunate to have a pair of veterans set to start at left and right end.

Drew Ott earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2014. He led the Hawkeyes with eight sacks and 12 tackles for loss overall, while also picking off a pass and returning a blocked punt for a touchdown.

Senior Nate Meier is expected to bookend Ott at left end.

Though a bit undersized at just 6-foot-2 and 252 pounds, Meier started 13 games last season.

A pair of redshirt freshmen, including 6-foot-8 former prized recruit Matt Nelson, are set to back up Ott and Meier.

“A year ago at this time the big concern was, can Nate be an every-down defensive lineman with his size? He answered those questions last spring and last season. We still have to detail things in terms of his

technique. He’s an undersized guy that thinks he’s bigger and tougher than he is, and you love that about him,” Morgan said.

At 6-foot-4 and 310 pounds, Johnson certainly has the size to play tackle in the Big Ten. After losing Davis and Trinca-Pasat — both of whom will likely play in the NFL next season — the Hawkeyes will need Johnson to make an immediate impact next fall.

Johnson played in every game in 2014, but he didn’t play that many snaps because of the presence of Davis and Trinca-Pasat.

Johnson is currently ahead of Ekakitie on the depth chart at left tackle, though Ekakitie has also improved as spring ball has progressed.

The “last two practices, he’s stepped forward. And if he can keep maintaining the same type of effort and tempo and improvement in the next six practices, that will really earn the trust that you’re looking for Bazata, like Ott, grew up playing 8-man football in Nebraska.

Bazata, who also has a wrestling and track background, played in nine games as a redshirt freshman and has bulked up to 285 pounds.

Kyle Terlouw, one of the few junior college players Iowa has brought in under coach Kirk Ferentz, should get some playing time behind Bazata.

Terlouw, a graduate of Lynnville-Sully who walked on to the program before last season despite holding scholarship offers from other Division I schools, has stood out to Iowa’s coaching staff with his practice efforts.

“He’s a work in progress, now. He’s a pickup truck with some used tires on it, but he’s a great young man that really cares about football,” Morgan said.

The events of the afternoon are neither positive nor negative, but they must be handled. This will bring out the best in you. Working to bring it all back into order will make you strong.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re always learning, though on some wonderful occasions the learning is so enjoyable that you don’t feel any growing pains. You will establish beneficial habits in the weeks to come.

Hawk golfers fall to Sigourney

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SIGOURNEY — Playing on another windy and chilly afternoon, Lynnville-Sully’s boys came up short in a South Iowa Cedar League conference goal dual against Sigourney Monday.

Sigourney played its home course just a little better than the Hawks.

The Savages posted a 194 team score to the Hawks’ 199 at Sigourney Golf and Country Club.

“The guys have had better nights,” said Bryan De Jong, Lynn-

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s 13th-ranked Cardinal girls lost 2-1 at Class 2A sixth-ranked Dallas Center-Grimes Monday night. The teams were scoreless at halftime. Alex Hutchinson (21) is seen here in a home game tackling the ball away from an opponent. Details on Monday’s game weren’t available at press time. A story will be online at newtondailynews.com later Tuesday and in Wednesday’s Newton Daily News.

Tennis Continued from Page 1B dominated Brittany Brown in straight sets, 6-1, 6-1.

Wyre and Madison Humphrey teamed up for Newton in the No. 3 doubles spot and lost a three-set tiebreaker match. Kenzie Ellis and Bailey Moore rallied to beat Wyre and Humphrey 3-6, 7-5, 10-7.

“Kate and Madison were in control of their match. They were up a set and leading 5-4 in the second, but dropped the second set. After a 7-7 tie in the third, they lost three straight points. It was the final match of the evening.”

Grinnell was able to win two three-set tiebreaker matches in singles play. Ellis took a 7-5, 7-6 (3) win over Newton’s Katherine Thorpe at No. 6 singles. Maddie Krumm beat Newton’s Megan Pressgrove, 7-5, 7-6 (2), in the No. 3 singles match.

Zehr said Pressgrove led in both sets and Thorpe battled back from big deficits in her match.

Newton’s McKenna Heisdorffer and Sierra Griffth dropped 6-2, 6-1 decisions to Grinnell’s Lily Hamilton and Kiara Peterson in the No. 1 and No. 2 singles matches, respectively.

At No. 4 singles, Marisa Modlin of Newton lost 6-3, 6-4 to Emma Hartz.

In the No. 1 doubles match, Heisdorffer and Pressgrove were ahead in both sets before losing 7-5, 7-5 to Peterson and Krumm.

Hamilton and Hartz downed Newton’s Griffith and Modlin, 6-0, 6-0, in the No. 2 doubles match.

Grinnell’s Brittany Brown and Dana Brown beat Newton’s Thorpe and Melanie Stice, 6-2, 6-1 at No. 4 doubles. Newton’s Elizabeth Myers and Brenda Becerra lost 6-1, 6-2 to Amanda Arensdorf and Alissa Stallman in the No. 5 doubles match.

“I think our youth and inexperience finally caught up to us. We got tentative in the big moments today, which is not something that has defined us in the past,” Zehr said. “We’ll try and figure out what adjustments we can make going forward.”

He said there is no time to feel sorry for themselves with LHC duals at Oskaloosa Tuesday and Pella Thursday. Zehr said he considers those teams as the other two strongest teams in the conference.

“Our junior varsity saw its strongest performance of the year, beating Grinnell 10-7,” Zehr said.

Newton’s JV singles play: Myers lost 6-3; Bethany Baumgartner lost 6-2; Natalie Camp lost 4-1.

Red, which is a par4 hole, then had four pars and five bogeys on White. Cydney was fairly consistent all day.

She had several pars on the day and her putting improved as she moved around the course.”

Enyart said Jolivette played the White nine holes really well and found consistency with her swing during play Monday.

Fitzgerald played the par-3 holes on both Red and White well, he said.

“Shelbey had a couple of holes which gave her trouble,” Enyart said. “I was proud of how she handled the adversity on the course.

She showed great leadership by her example out there today.”

NHS junior varsity golfers compete

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News NORWALK — Newton High’s junior varsity girls played in a triangular golf meet at Warrior Run hosted by Norwalk Monday.

“The weather was brutal with strong wind gusts whipping over the open course,” said Alison Grier, Newton assistant coach. “It was quite cold also.”

The Cardinal junior varsity finished second with a 229, just four shots behind Norwalk.

Dallas Center-Grimes was 46 shots back of Newton.

Amber Sorenson was the meet’s runner-up medalist with a 55 for the nine-hole event.

Lizzy Coyle put up a 57 followed by Hannah Scotton with a 58 and

Alyssa Bartels with a 59.

Taylor Dydell shot a 62.

Grier said Newton was short-handed for the meet because Jessie Smith went home from school ill earlier in the day. She said the girls were disappointed in losing for the first time this season.

“I was proud of the girls today. They played through the tough conditions and gained a lot of confidence in their ability to play in very trying weather, Grier said.

Newton’s junior varsity hosts West Des Moines Valley’s junior varsity Tuesday at Newton’s Westwood Golf Course. Tee time is 3:30 p.m.
