No injuries in single vehicle rollover at Highway 6

NHS Hall of Fame inductees announced

Newton Daily News The jaws of life were used to extract the driver in a single vehicle rollover Thursday night on Highway 6 near Interstate 80 west of Newton.

There were no injuries reported and the driver did not seek medical treatment after being released. The vehicle in the accident is registered to Steven McBride, but it is unknown if he was personally involved in the accident, according to Jasper County Deputy Sheriff Duane Rozendaal.

The crash remains under investigation, he said.

A witness on scene told the Newton Daily News the vehicle was traveling westbound on Highway 6 when he observed it “barrel roll” into the north ditch. The vehicle came to a rest on its side.

Baxter Police, the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office and Colfax Fire Department Crews were on scene.

County officials were notified of a traffic sign that was knocked down during the accident. The vehicle was towed by Barney’s of Newton.

Class to be honored at June alumni banquet

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Newton High School Activities Director Scott Garvis announced the school’s Hall of Fame 2015 induction class this week.

This year’s class includes six people: John Jenkins, Joanne Jackson, Chuck Jarnigan, Buzz Levick, Tom Starr and Dr. James Tiedje, Ph.D. The inductees will be honored at the June 13 Alumni Brunch at NHS, which will be part of Reunion Weekend and

Newton Fest.

The closing date for nominations for the hall’s second inductee class was April 3. A committee reviewed the nominations, and completed nomination forms will be kept on file for five years.

Jenkins was the Cardinals’ head football coach for 17 seasons. He led the team to two Class 4A state championship game appearances, seven conference titles and 16 consecutive class 4A playoff appearances. He finished with a 143-41 record, giving his teams

a winning percentage of .777.

The coach received the National College Football Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010.

Jackson is a 1950 Newton High graduate and an accomplished singer who has been inducted into both the Iowa Blues Hall of Fame and the Des Moines Jazz Hall of Fame.

Jarnigan is probably best known to some fans as an outstanding boys basketball player. The 1950 NHS graduate is HALL OF FAME | 3A

NCSD board to discuss reconfiguration start date H.A. Lynn Stadium, Berg plans on agenda

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News More than $38,330 will be used to purchase lawn care and snow removal equipment to help Skiff Medical Center save costs and become more independently efficient. The purchases are a part of a staffing model change to bring additional efficiencies to plant operations workers.

Cost saving purchases approved for Skiff Skiff receives 4 stars in first CMS rating

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News In an effort to save costs and become more independently efficient, the Skiff Board of Trustees approved the purchase of $38,335 in plant operations

equipment to bring lawn care and snow removal back in house at its Thursday meeting. The largest expense is a new John Deere lawn mower costing $20,704.

“I think the guys are really excited that they can do some

of these things and they are very excited to have projects to work on together,” Interim CAO Laurie Conner said. “Especially with the snow removal, every year we tend to have to find a different vendor because somebody is getting out of the business.”

When the Newton Community School District board voted on March 23 to reconfigure into an alignment that will include four K-4 campuses, the board decided to hold off Callaghan on deciding which school year for the start of that alignment.

Monday, the board could end up finishing the second half of that decision. The agenda for Monday’s regular meeting, to be held at 6:30 p.m. in Woodrow Wilson Elementary School gymnasium, includes a discussion/ action item regarding the reconfiguration timeline.

The new alignment won’t take effect any earlier than the start of 201617 school year. However, the board could also decide to push back reconfiguration until the massive project of rebuilding the Berg Complex is complete.

The board voted in January to pursue a new build of the complex, but no further action happened as the district wrestled with reconfiguration ideas.

The March 23 plan chosen by the board calls for Berg’s elementary wing to change from current grades K-3 population to grades 5 and 6. The middle-school side of Berg will remain grades 7 and 8.

The Berg Complex is on Monday’s agenda as a separate action item. Dave Briden of Frevert, Ramsey & Kobes Architects & Engineers is scheduled to be at Monday’s meeting, and the action item is whether to have FRK proceed with conceptual drawings for the new Berg facility.

Greenhouse effect is a good thing at Newton High

13 BMS science students earn honors at ISU competition All 13 of the Berg Middle School science students who competed in an April 9 roller-coaster competition at Iowa State University in Ames came home with some type of honor.

The 15th annual competition was hosted by the Iowa Alpha Chapter in ISU’s Sukup Hall.

Berg students Rachel Rhoads, Matt Moran, Ty Arguello, Luke Maharry and Lakin Jenkins were on a team that earned honorable mention for “Excellence in Theme.”

Parker Creech, Tyra Lambertus, Bailey Van Sickle and Makayla Kelleher combined to earn third place overall in the middle school division.

Dune Carter, Isaac Friedman, Daniel Lopez-Sanders and Nathan Simon teamed up to earn third place in the overall division.

Eighth-grade science teacher Andrew Kuker and BMS principal Scott Bauer accompanied the group to Ames.

NCSD staff did much of work on new NHS addition

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News James Horn might get some interesting text alerts in the next few years — and we’re not talking about snow days or rained-out ball games.

The new greenhouse at Newton High has a plethora of technology. One example is that Horn, an agriculture, horticulture and industrial technology teacher, gets text alerts if the temperature in the greenhouse falls out of a specified range.

“We got the greenhouse up and running in about the middle of March,” Horn said. “All of our ag classes will use it. The old one, used by science classes, had just gotten too small, and it was too tough to control the temperature.”

Newton Community School District Maintenance Supervisor Jack Suttek made a presentation about the greenhouse at the NCSD board of education’s April 13 meeting. Suttek had plenty of praise for how Horn headed up the effort, acting almost in the role of “a general contractor” in leading the project from requests

for proposals to design to getting the structure built in a parking-lot area south of the main NHS buildings.

The NCSD received four bids last summer for the project.

With Horn’s recommendation, the board awarded a $70,000 bid to Hummert International at an August meeting. The structure is 24 feet wide and 48 feet long, or about 1,152 square feet, so it’s larger than a typical indoor classroom.

“I’d built a greenhouse before, in another school district, so I knew a little about what to expect,” Horn said. “We had a contractor come in and break up the blacktop and pour concrete, but the district maintenance people worked really hard on some of the other parts, to help us save money on the project.”

Horn said the greenhouse will be used for both academic and extra-curricular programs. In addition to agriculture classes, the Future Farmers of America will be raising small plants there to be sold as an annual fundraiser, beginning around May 1.

Suttek said there might be

certain size hail or other extreme weather that could damage the greenhouse, but, by and large, it should be storm-resistant.

Horn said the greenhouse looks simple, but there is a lot to it. Not only is the glass used quite specialized, but there is a roof-cover that slides over the plants, which slides back or forward based on controls from an automatic thermostat.

“This allows our kids to a number of things under one roof, including growing plants using hydroponics (without any soil), or aeroponics (spraying the exposed roots of plant with a solution),” Horn said.

Ronny Clark, an NHS junior and the Newton FFA sentinel for next year, said he has already seen benefits to the greenhouse.

“I’ve had a garden at home for the past couple of years, but this kind of real-life experience helps, too,” Clark said. “This is really going to help the program in the future.”

NHS Senior Awards Assembly set for May 8 The Annual Senior Awards Assembly will be held at 11:30 a.m. May 8 in the Center for Performance at Newton Senior High School.

Dollars for Scholars awards will be presented along with numerous other academic awards and scholarships.

Newton native pens second novel Newton Daily News Former Newton resident, Bob Brink wrote the novel “Murder in Palm Beach: The Homicide that Never Died.”

Based on actual events, Brink’s novel focuses on a 1976 Palm Springs murder investigation that made headlines for years to come. Using the guise of fiction, the book explores the true man behind the murder and not the man put behind bars.

“Anyone who relishes a good mystery suspense story and has a soft spot for a touching tale of true love will find what they want in this novel,” Brink said. “Those who

are outraged by injustice will be doubly captivated.”

Brink is a journalist and was working for the Palm Beach Post at the time the murder occurred. After years of research, he decided to write a novel based on some of the information he has uncovered along the way. “Murder in Palm Beach” is the second novel that he has published, his first novel “Breaking Out” was released in 2010.

“Murder in Palm Beach” was published

by Pegasus Books and is available in paperback at Barnes and Noble Bookstores or as an eBook.

School Continued from Page 1A Briden is also scheduled to be on hand for a public hearing and vote on proposed plans for H.A. Lynn Stadium press box construction.

As of Friday morning, the state legislature had still not announced an agreement about a state supplemental aid increase for the next two school years.

Discussion of the impact of this dilemma, to be led by Superintendent Bob Callaghan, is on

Skiff Continued from Page 1A Also being purchased are mower attachments including a mower deck, rotary broom and snow blade for $9,989, Western V-Blade snow plow for the Skiff pickup truck at $5,343 and a 10 foot snow push box for the Bobcat at $2,299. Each items was sent out for price quotes to several equipment suppliers. The lawn mower and attachments will be purchased from Van-Wall Equipment and the plow blade will come from Central Iowa Machine.

The purchases go

Monday’s agenda.

The board approved a 201516 budget at its April 13 meeting that included zero state aid.

Scheduling of a public hearing to potentially amend the budget is on Monday’s agenda; the proposed hearing date is Tuesday, May 26.

At the April 13 meeting, the board tabled a motion regarding choosing a firm as an external auditor. The two bidders are Nolte, Cornman & Johnson of Newton and Hunt & Associates of Knoxville, and board members wanted to get more infor-

along with a change in the staffing model currently utilized by plant operations. The current staffing consists of on maintenance technician per shift on Sunday, Monday, Friday and Saturday and two per shift on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Exceptions that plant ops staff complete work orders, repairs, valet parking, patient sitting, Life Flight assistance, patient lift assist, freight movement, security and other duties has let to non-productivity of staff. The proposed changes would have five and a half maintenance techs daily and

mation before selecting a firm; the proposals are on Monday’s agenda as an action-only item.

As Wilson Elementary is the host site for Monday’s meeting, Principal Todd Schuster and members of his staff will give a presentation. Director of Pre-K-8 Services Jim Gilbert will present on this year’s Kindergarten Round-ups and the new JumpStart summer program.

one tech for a reduced shift on weekends.

“The new model will allow for work to be started and completed in a timely manner, reduce reliance on contracted supplies for routine maintenance and provide a $22,464 annual wage savings in addition to the $40,633 annual savings on contracted services,” Conner said.

Centers of Medicare Services recently began awarding the nation’s hospitals on a five star system and Skiff received a four star rating in the first evaluation given.

The rating was given on feedback of patient sat-

isfaction. Only 7 percent of hospitals nationwide received five stars.

“We were really pleased with that, being in the upper part of the ratings,” SKiff CEO Brett Altman said.

In other business: • Shelly Lolwing was the Daisy Award winner.

• For the month of March, the hospital turned a profit of almost $129,000 putting the year to date earning at the same amount. Cash on hand has also continued trending up.

Hall of Fame Continued from Page 1A one of only three people from Newton — along with Burton O’Connor and Larry Lust — to have been inducted into the Iowa High School Athletic Association Basketball Hall of Fame.

Levick coached the NHS boys basketball team to back-to-back state championships, going undefeated in 1962-63 and repeating as state champions in 1963-64. The Newton Community School District recently added a decal on the NHS basketball floor to commemorate Levick and the two title seasons.

Levick is also in Wartburg College’s hall of fame.

At the time of his induction there, he was one of only 65 coaches in the nation to have won 500 games or more.

Starr served with the military during the Vietnam War, earning several commendations, including a Bronze Star. He worked for the Big Eight Conference and was the Iowa State University sports information director before getting into larger college football events, as he has been the executive director of the Freedom, Fort Worth (Armed Forces) and Sun bowl games.

Tiedje is a Distinguished Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, and of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences, and is Director of the Center for Microbial Ecology at Michigan State University. There is a lab at MSU that bears the 1960 NHS graduate’s name, and he has been a part of groundbreaking work in bio-environmental DNA and in detecting life on Mars.

The Newton Daily News will publish more extensive biographies of each inductee shortly before the June 13 Alumni Brunch.

The grass is always greener

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

“I spent 20 years wandering around the world hunting arty subjects to paint. I came back, and the first thing I noticed was the cross-stitched embroidery of my mother’s kitchen apron,” Grant Wood, American Gothic painter, told the Chicago Tribune about finding beauty in the familiar after returning to Cedar Rapids from Paris and Munich.

I stood at the counter at PJ’s Deli waiting to order a turkey wrap when I looked down and noticed a stack of postcards next to register. There were a couple different designs to choose from that promote Newton as part of the Get to Know Newton campaign.

The cards feature a scene and quote: Dr. Charles at work, a concert at Maytag Bowl, a young girl painting, and another student in the classroom.

I looked through the cards and sat them down with little interest.

The white space on the back of the postcard has a sentence at the

top that states “I love Newton, IA because...” I thought about filling one out, but I didn’t have anything to contribute, however, as I waited I realized maybe I did.

Filling out the postcard wasn’t easy though. I didn’t know what to write. I didn’t know where to begin. Although Newton is home, the question had me at a standstill.

I know what I like and dislike about Newton but the truth is there are hundreds of things I love about Newton, including each of you.

I love Newton because of our history and our pride. I love Maytag Park. I love the stadium. I love the dairy farms. I love the Centre for Arts. I love the drive-in. I even love the speedway.

I love Newton because it has always been home. I love that my mom is here. I love that James’ family is here.

I love Newton because I love running into people. I love on my

lunch break I can have three conversations with people I run into on the sidewalk. Where everybody knows your name.

I love Newton because it doesn’t take more than five to 10 minutes to get anywhere. That it’s centralized in Iowa, in the Midwest.

Central College students were in town Monday for their annual service day, and I met a foreign exchange student from France.

We talked for about five minutes about our experiences, places and cultures. It was wonderful.

She told me her hometown had a population of 2 million and that it was a very hard transition here at first. She had to let go of the world she knew and learn to adapt to the world she was in now.

Everyone was nice and helpful and she enjoyed the calm, the space and closeness of a community. She couldn’t go back to the city life, she said, although I have a feeling she probably will. It’s where her family is too.

It’s important that people understand everyone lives their lives differently, she said, and having different perspectives would result in a world of more understanding.

My day was made. I love Newton because I love my job.

No place is perfect. It’s nearly impossible to take everything good about every place and mesh it into one, and sometimes a dislike with one place might not be unique to that place at all. The grass is always greener on the other side. The grass is always greener where you water it.

I filled out three more postcards at Stacy’s Sweetstuff, Forbes and Maid Rite.

The card experiment not only spreads the word to others about old Newton but also forced me to inform myself why I like living here and prepared me for future discussions.

State View

Legislative session won’t adjourn on time

Letters to the Editor

Rep. Kelley has lost touch with his district Stephen C. Smith Baxter I was frustrated when I read Rep. Dan Kelley’s latest column in the Newton Daily News. This is the second time he has publicly instructed local residents to contact him to have their local street and road problems addressed. He knows this responsibilities lie with local mayors, councils, street department directors, board of supervisors and the county engineer. State legislators have no control over local roads.

I have served as mayor of Baxter for the entire time Mr. Kelley has been our state representative. Governmental entities in Baxter have been working with the Iowa Department of Transportation to fix two dangerous intersections on State Highway 330. Both intersections are lo-

Factory farms stink in more ways than one

Lori Nelson Bayard Factory farms stink, and it’s not just the smell. They pollute our air and water, lower our property values, weaken rural economies and make us prisoners in our own homes. I know this because I have 30,000 factory farm hogs within a 5 mile radius of my home, 5,000 within a half of a mile of my home, and they spread manure directly next to my property line 100 feet from my door.

There have been more than

cated in Rep. Kelley’s district. I have not once heard from Mr. Kelley concerning these state controlled intersections. He has not attended one public meeting on the matter. He has not attended any joint meetings of the Baxter City Council and school board when this matter has been discussed at length.

He has one of the most dangerous and deadly stretches of intersections in the state in his district, and he has chosen to avoid participating in a workable solution for his constituents.

On the other hand, our newly elected Sen. Chaz Allen, contacted me two weeks after taking office. He then called all of the players to the table and worked to find a viable solution for all concerned.

Sen. Allen has spent more time in three months trying to resolve this situation than Rep. Kelley has in five years. It would have been nice if Rep. Kelley

invested time in these dangerous, state controlled, roads instead of worrying about who has enough gravel on a county maintained road. In closing, I will share my latest correspondence with Rep. Kelley.

On April 7 I received a random letter from him, on state paid official letterhead, thanking me for my continued service as a member of the Newton City Council. Yes, you read that correctly, he sent a letter to the current Mayor of Baxter thanking me for my service on the Newton City Council. I was amused at first, until I realized that I had paid for the mailing as a taxpayer. Rep. Kelley has lost touch with his district. His accusations that funds have been misappropriated were insulting to all local officials. In my opinion, our district deserves better representation than we have received. It’s time for a change.

800 manure spills in recent years and Iowa now has 630 polluted waterways.

Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (Iowa CCI) is the only statewide power organization in Iowa that fights factory farms from being built. In 2012, Iowa saw a massive expansion of factory farms all across the state and we are expecting more this year.

I knew I had to take a stand against factory farms and their pollution so I called Iowa CCI. I’ve been a member now for 9 years. During that time we’ve stopped more than eight dozen factory farms and improved the

quality of life for thousands of Iowans.

We help empower communities across the state to stop factory farms, make sure the Department of Natural Resources is enforcing the laws on the books and help pass good legislation that protects everyday Iowans from factory farm pollution. We are urban and rural, black and white, young and old and we’ve been standing up for clean air and water for 28 years.

If there is a proposed factory farm near you and you and your neighbors are ready to stand up and take action contact Iowa CCI at 515-282-0484 or Iowacci@. iowacci.org.

We are now one week from the 110th day of the 2015 legislative session.

That is the day we are scheduled to adjourn for the y e a r .

H o w ever, it By Dan Kelley Iowa w o n’t h a p p e n Representative n e x t week. In fact, we may be here for a while. Why? Washington-style gridlock has taken hold of school funding negotiations between legislative leaders in both chambers and the governor. Kids’ educations are being used as political bargaining chips, and it’s wrong.

This is where partisan politics becomes a serious detriment. I’m proud to be a Democrat. I’m also proud to work with my colleagues across the aisle.

Democrats and Republicans actually agree on the majority of the bills and many of the issues we consider. Still, there are issues where we will likely never see eye-toeye. But when it comes to education and school funding, we need to put party politics aside, and stand together for kids.

The negotiations revolve around a single number. That number is called allowable growth.

It’s the percentage the legislature and gover-

nor must set every year.

This percentage tells local school boards how much they are allowed to adjust their budget for inflationary purposes. I’ve supported a series of compromise offers made in good faith. However, house majority leaders haven’t moved at all and still insist on 1.25 percent.

While the house majority party claims the state can’t afford more than that, it just isn’t true.

Here are the facts, while there’s always room to reduce spending and make improvements to the budget, the state is not in debt and our budget is balanced with money in the bank. According to the non-partisan Legislative Services Agency, we can provide a reasonable increase in state supplemental aid for schools, keep our state savings accounts full at more than $700 million, end the year with a surplus, and follow our balanced budget law.

Wa s h i n g t o n - s t y l e gridlock has no place in Iowa. Leaders in both chambers and the governor need to end the uncertainty and put kids first.

Feel free to call me at home, anytime with questions, concerns, or suggestions for Jasper County. Our comeback belongs to all of us. You can reach me at 641521-9260 or dan.kelley@legis.iowa.gov.

Club Notes Newton PEO The four Newton PEO chapters met April 21 for their annual dinner together. The dinner meeting was at McCann Center and included the chapters of AO, HS, LC and ME. Three recipients of the P.E.O. International Peace Scholarship and current PhD students at Iowa State University presented the program.

The women are: Grace Kaudzu of Malawi in southwest Africa, PhD in crop production and physiology; Juliana Nnoko of Cameroon in central Africa, PhD in sociology and sustainable agriculture and Tamanna Rimi of Bangladesh in South Asia, PhD in economics.

Their goal is to complete their studies and return to their home countries and use their education for the betterment of their respective countries. It takes dedication and sacrifice to fulfill such a lofty goal. Grace, Juliana and Tamanna expressed gratitude for the assistance they received as recipients of the PEO International Peace Scholarship.

Timing is right for plastic surgery, but parents object DEAR ABBY: I am 23 years old, working full-time as a teacher and I’m about to move out of my parents’ house. I have decided to have breast augmentation surgery, and I know the best time to do it would be this summer so I’ll have time to recover before school starts.

The problem is my parents are adamantly against my having this surgery.

I’ve heard it all: “I wish you loved your body the way it is.” “That’s so superficial,” and “You’ll regret it!”

I would wait until I move out, but my new place (which is being built) won’t be finished until the end of the school year. I have postponed this surgery for several years, and now I have the money and I’m ready. How can I please my parents and also please myself? — TIRED OF WAITING DEAR TIRED OF WAITING: Have another talk with your folks and explain that while they may wish you loved your body the way it is, you don’t.

Tell them that you don’t feel wanting the surgery is superficial and that you feel it will give you confidence about your appearance that you don’t have now.

The decision about whether to have plastic surgery is a personal one.

No one should make it “for” you; the choice should be yours and yours alone.

If you decide later that you regret it, you can have the implants removed. Some women have done that — but most women don’t.

DEAR ABBY: I am planning a wedding this summer. My fiance and I are paying for it ourselves, so we are trying to keep it within a budget. I’m so excited I want to shout it from the rooftops because I thought this day would never happen.

My problem is, when I have shared the news of our engagement, some people have told me, “I can’t wait to get my invitation.” We have already made up our guest list and they aren’t on it, so how can I tactfully reply without offending? My fiance and I have even discussed whether it would be worth

the extra money each guest will cost in order to keep the peace and not have anyone carry a grudge against us. — STRUGGLING TO BE POLITE IN VIRGINIA DEAR STRUGGLING: When someone who is not on your guest list says he or she can’t wait to receive an invitation, that’s your cue to explain that due to budget constraints, your wedding will be small — pretty much immediate family only. No one can argue with that.

DEAR ABBY: Yesterday I spent the afternoon with a friend who was in town for her husband’s business conference. Her 20-year-old son called her because he had broken the screen on his cellphone.

Over the next two hours as we visited, she took phone calls from him, researched places to get his phone fixed, then proceeded to fill out insurance forms on her phone for the repair while I sat there. I finally stood up and said I was leaving because she seemed to be “busy.” She immediately became offended and rudely said, “Well! Sorry I p-d you off!”

Abby, it was a broken cellphone, not a broken arm. Am I wrong for feeling the way I do? We have been friends for more than 30 years. — INSULTED IN RENO DEAR INSULTED: You’re not wrong. Your friend must have thought her son’s predicament was an emergency, which is why she felt compelled to deal with it immediately.

Teen killed after driving through barricades into creek

4 State officials confirm Sac Co. farm is third with bird flu

5

GUTHRIE CENTER — An Iowa teen was killed and his passenger escaped after their truck plowed through barricades blocking what had previously been a bridge and submerged in a creek.

Zachary Meacham, 17, of Guthrie Center, died in the crash Wednesday at Brushy Creek in Guthrie County. The name and condition of his passenger weren’t immediately available. The Iowa State Patrol says the truck rammed into the barricades and drove off an 18-foot drop into the creek.

SAC COUNTY — The Iowa Department of Agriculture says a turkey farm in Sac County has become the third farm in Iowa to have confirmed cases of bird flu.

The farm’s 34,000 turkeys will be killed to contain the virus.

The farm is within a six-mile monitoring zone of the first turkey farm identified in Iowa to have the H5N2 virus.

Sac County is the adjacent county south of Buena Vista County where a farm with 27,000 turkeys was confirmed to have the virus on April 13.

BURLINGTON — A Des Moines County jury has convicted a 39-year-old man for fatally shooting a Burlington bicyclist last summer.

Joshua Royer, of Burlington, on Thursday was found guilty of first-degree murder for killing 50-year-old Eddie Martin.

Martin was shot by someone in a passing car as he sat on his bike at a Burlington street corner around 3 p.m. on Aug. 6.

Royer, who owned the car witnesses saw, did not testify.

CHARLES CITY — Charles City police are investigating after $18,000 worth of items were stolen from a golf course.

The theft was reported Tuesday at Wildwood Golf Course.

Authorities say two golf carts, a trailer, tools and golf clubs were reported missing. Further information wasn’t immediately available Thursday night.

FBI captures disbarred Iowa lawyer long wanted for fraud charges

Lottery CEO tells lawmakers that state law halted fraud The Associated Press

The Associated Press

DES MOINES — The head of the Iowa Lottery has reiterated to lawmakers that state law prevented the illegal payout of a multimillion-dollar Hot Lotto ticket.

CEO Terry Rich told the House Government Oversight Committee on Thursday that Iowa law includes security measures that allowed officials to refuse to pay the prize.

Prosecutors say Eddie Tipton, who was director of information security for the Multi-State Lottery Association, illegally bought a Hot Lotto ticket in 2010 later worth $14.3 million. He is accused of tampering with lottery equipment and working with others to try to claim the ticket. Tipton has pleaded not guilty. A trial is scheduled this year.

Some lawmakers asked about security protocols. Rich says more layers have been added, but he reiterated rules were already in place to prevent payouts.

IOWA CITY — A disbarred Iowa lawyer’s long run from the law is over.

Authorities said Thursday that former Coralville lawyer Dennis Bjorklund was arrested last week in Colorado, ending a five-year search for one of the FBI’s most-wanted white-collar fugitives. Bjorklund, 50, is in federal custody and will soon be transferred to Iowa to face federal mail and tax fraud charges.

Bjorklund left behind a trail of former clients who say they were ripped off, angry former law partners and baffled investigators when he vanished in 2010. A federal grand jury indicted him that year on charges that he defrauded 11 clients facing drunken driving charges by recommending they make contributions to a phony charity he established and controlled.

He is accused of telling clients the donations would reflect well on their character and likely convince judges to give them lighter sentences. Instead, prosecutors say Bjorklund received the money.

Bjorklund is also charged with drastically underreporting his income to reduce his tax bill — at a time when he was making handsome profits by falsely advertising himself as the nation’s leading drunken driving defense attorney.

“Now the fun begins for me,” said Cedar Rapids lawyer Charles Hallberg, who worked under Bjorklund from 2003 to 2006 and hopes to see his former boss convicted and sentenced. He remembers showing up to work in 2006 to find the firm’s doors locked and Bjorklund gone, and then spending two years untangling the legal mess left behind.

Even before the indictment, Bjorklund was notorious in legal circles for committing ethical violations that led the Iowa Supreme Court to take the unusual step of disbarring him in 2006.

Saying he “lies with reckless abandon,” the court detailed how Bjorklund misled, overcharged and improperly solicited

clients, violated rules on advertising and publicity, and dodged professional regulators looking into complaints. Bjorklund repeatedly avoided being served legal papers during the disciplinary case, once denying his identity by claiming his name was “Jake” and another time losing a shoe while successfully running from a process server.

Federal authorities unsealed the indictment against Bjorklund in 2013 so the FBI could publicize its search for him, saying he was likely traveling with his longtime girlfriend.

The Pueblo, Colorado, County Sheriff ’s office arrested Bjorklund in Pueblo on April 15 during a traffic stop after receiving a request from the FBI to pull over a vehicle that he was believed to be inside, spokeswoman Laurie Kilpatrick said. Bjorklund was taken into custody without incident, she said, and turned over to federal authorities.

Feds move to speed approval for Great Plains wind projects Proposal covers future farms in Iowa The Associated Press BILLINGS, Mont. — Federal officials are moving to speed up their review of wind power projects across the Upper Great Plains in anticipation that the industry will continue growing, a situation that’s alarmed wildlife advocates who say many bird and bat species are being put at risk as wind turbines proliferate.

The proposal would cover future wind farms in Montana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.

Companies to date have installed roughly 8,000 turbines generating more than 12,000 megawatts of wind energy in the six states. That’s almost one-fifth of the wind power in the U.S. and represents enough

energy to power the equivalent of almost 3.3 million homes, according to the American Wind Energy Association.

With 8,600 to 30,000 additional turbines anticipated by 2030, officials hope to reduce the duration of environmental reviews that are needed for permitting from two years to one, said Jennifer Neville, a spokeswoman for the Western Area Power Administration, a branch of the U.S. Department of Energy.

To speed the process, wind farm developers would receive site-specific information about potential impacts on wildlife, including bald and golden eagles and endangered whooping cranes. That would ensure developers construct their turbines and transmission lines away from wetlands and rivers where whooping cranes and other birds gather, or shut down turbines when the birds are seen nearby, according to the proposal.

Federal officials are moving to speed up their review of wind power projects across the Upper Great Plains in anticipation that the industry will continue growing, a situation that’s alarmed wildlife advocates who say many bird and bat species are being put at risk as wind turbines proliferate. The proposal would cover future wind farms in Montana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.(

Service collaborated with the Western Area Power Administration on a 1,160-page environmental study that details steps companies may need to take to avoid killing birds.

By working off that document, developers would know

up-front what measures they might have to take to protect wildlife “so they don’t have to build them from scratch every time,” Neville said.

A final decision will come after a 30-day review process that begins once the study is

published in the Federal Register.

Fish and Wildlife spokesman Ryan Moehring said the proposal would help identify appropriate sites for wind turbines, not reduce government oversight.

Better planning for wind energy has been embraced by wildlife groups, including the American Bird Conservancy, which has said that current lax oversight allows turbines to be constructed in areas frequented by birds.

Michael Hutchins, the head of the conservancy’s Bird-Smart wind energy program, cited a study that appeared in the Wildlife Society Bulletin estimating that 573,000 birds and 888,000 bats were killed by wind turbines in 2012. While it’s hard to gauge the accuracy of such findings, Hutchins said it’s clear that more turbines erected in bird migration corridors will result in more birds being killed.

Comcast dropping its $45B Time Warner Cable bid

Hostage deaths a reminder of risk of ‘deadly mistakes’ The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Two years ago, President Barack Obama stood before a military audience and spoke of the “heartbreaking tragedy” of accidental civilian deaths caused by U.S. military strikes in the fight against terrorism in places like Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Now, with news of the death of two Western hostages in a CIA drone strike — American Warren Weinstein and Italian Giovanni Lo Porto — the president has received a brutal reminder that every U.S. commander-in-chief may have to face the loss of civilians as collateral damage in wartime.

“It is a cruel and bitter truth that in the fog of war generally and our fight against terrorists specifically, mistakes, sometimes deadly mistakes, can occur,” Obama said.

On Friday, the Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement of condolences to the hostages’ families.

“Having lost thousands of innocent civilians in the war against terrorism, Pakistan can fully understand this tragic loss and stands with the families of Weinstein and Lo Porto in this difficult time,” the ministry said. “The death of Mr. Weinstein and Mr. Lo Porto in a drone strike demonstrates the risk and unintended consequences of the use of this technology that Pakistan has been highlighting for a long time.”

Meanwhile, in Italy, Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni is seeking to explain to Parliament why it took three months to learn about the death of Lo Porto in the U.S. drone strike. Gentiloni told lawmakers Friday that in an inaccessible war zone, where hostage-taking is frequent, it took that long for U.S. intelligence to verify Lo Porto had been killed.

Military technology may grow ever more sophisticated, but there still is no surefire way to ensure innocents will not be caught in harm’s way, even by the most elite of U.S. forces.

In 2010, the U.S. Navy’s SEAL Team 6 tried to rescue Scottish aid

worker Linda Norgrove from Taliban captors in Afghanistan. She was killed by a grenade thrown in haste by one of the American commandoes.

“Sometimes you get it wrong,” said retired Army Col. Peter Mansoor, a professor of military history at Ohio State University. “There’s no way to have a perfectly clean war.”

He pointed to the U.S. prisoners of war killed in World War II when American submarines targeted Japanese cargo ships in the Pacific, some of which were transporting allied prisoners. More than 21,000 American POWs were killed or injured from “friendly fire.”

FOR YOUR NEXT HOME PROJECT COUPON

COUPON

NEW YORK (AP) — Comcast is dropping its $45 billion bid for Time Warner Cable after heavy regulatory pushback.

A combination of the No. 1 and No. 2 U.S. cable companies would have put nearly 30 percent of TV and about 55 percent of broadband subscribers under one roof, giving the resulting behemoth unprecedented power over what Americans watch and download.

Competitors, consumer groups, and politicians have criticized the deal, saying it would lead to higher prices and less choice.

“The proposed merger would have posed an unacceptable risk to competition and innovation, including to the ability of online video providers to reach and serve consumers,” Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler said in a written statement.

Thief sneaks ice cream cooler past sleeping store clerk O A K L A N D PARK, Fla. (AP) — Deputies in Florida say a thief worked for 15 minutes to drag a cooler full of Good Humor ice cream past a sleeping clerk at a gas station near Fort Lauderdale.

Surveillance cameras captured a man walking up to the Oakland Park store at 4:09 a.m. on April 2 to find the clerk sleeping.

Authorities say the man opened the ice cream cooler, peered at the clerk, looked directly into the camera and flashed a middle finger.

After a few minutes, he carefully pulled the $2,500 cooler through the store’s doors.

Authorities arrested Dennis Norman on grand theft charges on April 22. He was released from jail on $1,000 bond. There was no phone number available for Norman.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Sarah Kalkhoff is into her spin as she competes in the 2015 Drake Relays’ discus Thursday afternoon. Kalkhoff collected her third straight sixth-place medal at the Drake Relays.

Kalkhoff, Girard in Drake Relays’ rings Newton’s Kalkhoff earns sixth-place medal in discus; CMB’s Girard places 13th in the shot put

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Drenched in bright sunlight, Sarah Kalkhoff and Patrick Girard each stepped in the throwing ring, went to the top of the ring, paused, took a breath then went to work.

Newton High’s Kalkhoff is a veteran, of sorts, at the Drake Relays. Girard of Collins-Maxwell/Bax-

ter is a rookie in Drake Relays’ competition. They are both seniors.

Thursday afternoon was a great day to compete at the 2015 Drake Relays. Not much wind and plenty of sunshine.

Kalkhoff finished her three-year run at the Drake Relays with a third straight sixth-place medal in the high school girls’ discus. Girard came up short of the high school boys’ shot put finals, finishing 13th.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Patrick Girard puts all his might into a throw in the boys’ shot put competition Thursday at the 2015 Drake Relays. In his first Drake Relays, Girard finished 13th.

Kalkhoff ’s third throw in the preliminaries was 129 feet, 6 inches. That distance stood up for sixth place.

After the first throws in Kalkhoff ’s flight, everybody was chasing Kiana Phelps of Kingsley-Pierson. Phelps broke her own Drake Relays’ record on her first throw — 159-4. The old mark was 153-4, which she set as a freshman in 2013.

Phelps locked up her third-straight Drake Relays discus championship on that throw. Second place was Maddie Nilles of Wahlert at 149-10.

“Sixth-place finish at Drake Relays isn’t bad.

I didn’t throw to the best of my ability today — I didn’t think,” Kalkhoff said.

“My sophomore year I threw my farthest here.

I threw five feet farther today than I did here last year. Overall, I’ve had a really good experience at the Drake Relays.

“It’s a great atmosphere and a lot of fun. It’s a great opportunity for Iowa high school kids, putting us in an atmosphere of competing at a college meet.

That’s just getting me ready for next year.”

Kalkhoff will compete for Minnesota State in Mankato, Minn next year Kalkhoff said she has a couple of flaws in her technique to fix.

“I just have to put it all together. The time to do that is at state,” Kalkhoff said. She is the defending Class 4A discus state meet champion.

Girard threw 51-4 in the shot put competition Thursday in his first experience at the Drake Relays.

“It’s a great accomplishment to qualify for Drake.

I’m proud of that,” Girard said. “My distance was good, but I know I can do better.”

Girard said his next step for the season is to work hard to qualify for the state meet again.

“I know to get where I want to get, I’ve got some work to do over the next month,” Girard said.

Newton High junior Grace Coen decided not to compete in the high school girls’ 3,000-meter run Thursday. NHS girls’ head track coach Rachel Tomas said Coen is concentrating on doing well in Friday’s 800 meters and Saturday’s 1,500 meters.

Kalkhoff is back at the Drake Relays Friday in the shot put. Newton High’s Deonne Harris and CMB’s Bryce Kemp, both seniors, are set to compete in the 110-meter high hurdles.

Hawkeye coordinators look for improvement DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa coordinators Greg Davis and Phil Parker have pretty much the same problem.

Their units have proven to be effective — but only in spurts.

The Hawkeyes will need to be more much consistent on both sides of the ball if they want to escape a four-year stretch of average results.

Davis and Parker met with reporters Wednesday — a rarity for a program that typically lets coach Kirk Ferentz be its voice with the media — to discuss what they’re looking to improve.

It’ll be a critical fall for the Hawkeyes, who finished a disappointing 7-6 and were blown out

by Tennessee in their bowl game.

Iowa concludes spring ball with a scrimmage at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday.

“I think we’ve accomplished a lot of (things).

We’re not ready to play.

If we had to play Saturday there (are) still too many mistakes being made,” said Davis, the offensive coordinator.

“But the kid’s attitude and the way they’re going about it, we’ve been pleased with that.”

One big key for Iowa’s offense next season will be an improved run game.

Davis believes that the Hawkeyes are deeper at running back than they’ve been in years. He also said that converted wide receiver Derrick Mitchell has been so impressive this spring that he has a chance to be Iowa’s third-down back by the fall.

And now that Jake Rudock has transferred to Michigan, the quarterback job belongs to junior C.J. Beathard.

Beathard is much more athletic than Rudock, a prototypical pocket passer. So Iowa will look to use its quarterbacks more in the run game — without exposing Beathard to a hit IMPROVEMENT | 3B

CMB holds off West Marshall on Senior Night

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and West Marshall have gone back-and-forth this year in girls’ track and field competition.

The Raiders won the team title in their annual co-ed meet earlier this month with West Marshall coming in second. And then the Trojans got redemption at Gilbert on Monday when they took the team title and CMB finished second.

The third meeting between the two schools proved to be the best yet. And the Raiders once again came out on top.

CMB won two events, finished runner-up in seven and claimed a bronze medal in eight more and sent out seniors Maddy Poage and Mackenzie Schmitz with a win on Senior Night as the Raiders held off West Marshall by five points in the team standings.

“This was a great team win for us tonight,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “One of our season goals was to win both of home meets and we accomplished that with the win tonight. We wanted to send out our seniors with a home win and everyone stepped it up and competed with a lot of heart to make that happen.”

The Trojans won five events, but CMB’s depth won out.

The Raiders got double points in six events and finished with 150, while West Marshall had 145.

“We knew West Marshall would be tough,” Meinerts said. “We knew a lot of things would have to fall into place to beat them. They really stuck it to us on Monday and the girls were a little more pumped up for this meet.”

Saydel was third with 100, South Hamilton scored 69 in fourth, Colo-NESCO had 66 in fifth and Colfax-Mingo was sixth with 54.

CMB got a win from Payge Jurgens in the shot put and the 4x100-meter relay team turned in a season-best time to claim the gold.

Jurgens’ best toss in the shot put was 37 feet, 8.5 inches and she won by more than four feet.

The 4x100 team of Schmitz, Toni Spencer, Poage and Bridget Hurley blew away the rest of the field with a season-best time of 52.60 seconds.

Colfax-Mingo got a win from Dakota Hostetter in the 3,000 as she hit the line in 11 minutes, 57.31 seconds. The Tigerhawks’ 4x400 relay also was second in 4:24.20. That included Hostetter on the third leg as well as Ries Wilson, Brianna Cooper and Bailey Pease.

Five individuals were runner-up for CMB — Hurley in the 400, Heather Jessen in the 3,000, Brianda Bane in the 100 hurdles, Spencer in the long jump and Mikayla Eslinger in the discus. The shuttle hurdle relay team of Sailor Hinegard-

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Toni Spencer placed second in the long jump Thursday at the CMB Lady Raider Relays in Baxter. Her leap of 14 feet, 10 inches was .75 inches shorter than West Marshall’s Emma Meyer, but the Raiders were five points better than the Trojans to win the team title.

ner, Mary Schabillion, Bane and Sydney Ziesman and the 4x200 relay team of Spencer, Megan Ritter, Poage and Schmitz were both second.

The Raiders went 2-3 in the 100 hurdles and long jump, 3-4 in the 100 and 200 and 2-4 in the 3,000. West Marshall had five wins and went 1-2 in the 200 and 800. The Raiders also scored 40 points to West Marshall’s 20 in the field events.

Colfax-Mingo, who did not have the services of McKinzie Tjaden or Aranda Woods, got third-place finishes from Amy Russell in the shot put and the distance medley relay team of Erin Earles, Russell, Wilson and Pease.

CMB returns to action at 4:30 p.m. Friday at South Hardin, while Colfax-Mingo will take part in PCM’s home meet at 5 p.m. Monday.

PCM girls track records another top-three finish

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News TAMA — Three gold medals, four silver medals and four bronze medals helped the Prairie City-Monroe girls’ track team record another top-three finish at South Tama County High School on Thursday.

Senior Rachel Peter won the 1,500-meter run, sophomore Rachel Stafford hit the line first in the 800 and the 4x200-meter relay team of Jayci Vos, Emily Hugen, Ashley Van Gorp and Mackenzie Clarke broke the tape as the Mustangs only scored fewer points than two Class 3A schools — South Tama County and Grinnell.

“The girls did a nice job on tired legs,” PCM coach Bridget Martin said. “We had a

tough practice Wednesday, yet the girls came out and gave it all they had.

“We have some big goals for the big meets in May, which means Hugen we have to continue to work hard now. It’s all part of the process that we talk about as a team.”

Peter won the 1,500 in 5 minutes. 19.55 seconds, while Stafford crossed first in the 800 in 2:34.70. The 4x200 relay team crossed in 1:52.

Grace Telfer was second in the shot put with a throw of 34 feet, 2.5 inches and also finished third in the discus with a throw of 102-0. The other

individual runner-up performance came from Hugen in the 200 and she hit the line in a season-best 28.41 seconds.

The other two second-place tallies came in the sprint medley and distance medley relays.

Vos, Hugen, Clarke and Stafford made up the sprint medley team and they finished in 1:58.92. The distance medley included Vos, Clarke, Ashley Van Gorp and Peter and they stopped the clock at 4:31.91.

The other three third-place finishes came in the 4x400 and 4x800 relays as well as Baylee Smith in the 3,000.

Smith finished in a new personal-best time of 11:58.06.

The 4x400 was made up of Morgan Novak, Smith, Mackenzie Messick and Josie Hare and they finished in 4:50.92.

The 4x800 team included Peter, Stafford, Amaya Hartson and Novak and they completed the race in 10:55.13.

The 4x100 relay team that will run in Friday night’s Drake Relays was fourth overall Thursday. Vos, Hugen, Van Gorp and Clarke finished in 52.60 seconds. Van Gorp placed fourth in the long jump with a leap of 14-5.

The 4x100 relay team runs in heat seven at 5:10 p.m. today at Drake Stadium. The top eight times in the 10 preliminary heats advance to Saturday’s finals at 3:35 p.m.

The Mustangs’ team competes at their home meet at 5 p.m. Monday.

C-M’s Lietz takes over district lead in 400

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MARTENSDALE — Jacob Lietz is hitting his stride at the right time of the year.

Running more than a full second faster than his previous career-best performance, the Tigerhawks junior moved into the district lead in the 400-meter dash Thursday and his gold medal was the lone victory for the Colfax-Mingo boys track and field team.

Lietz won the 400 with personal-best time of 52.30 seconds and those 10 points led the Tigerhawks to a fifth-place finish in the 10-team field.

Colfax-Mingo scored 67 points on the night. It trailed fourth-place Pleasantville by just a point and third-place Interstate 35 was seven points clear of the Tigerhawks. Gilbert won the meet with 158 points, while Mount Ayr was second with 100.

“Jake Lietz was an animal for us tonight,” Colfax-Mingo coach Matt Barkalow said.

“He seized the district lead and set a new PR by more than a full second.”

Lietz was a part of two of the Tigerhawks’ three second-place finishes, too.

He anchored the 4x400 to the silver and ran the 400 leg of the distance medley relay team that also was runner-up.

The 4x400 team of Blake Summy, Gabe Simpson, Jared Myers and Lietz hit the line in 3 minutes, 37.81 seconds, which now ranks 10th in Class 1A. Summy also started the distance medley relay. He handed to Colin Lourens before Lietz and Simpson finished things off in 3:59.03.

Lourens grabbed the other second-place finish with a leap of 18 feet, 11 inches in the long jump.

“Colin continues to have a super season for us,” Barkalow said. “Summy, Simpson, Myers and Lietz were all men with their efforts in the 4x400 relay. I was incredibly proud of all my boys tonight.”

Summy gave the Tigerhawks a 1-3 finish in the 400.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News OSKALOOSA — Prairie City-Monroe sophomore Breanna Maher set another school record and the entire PCM girls’ golf team was 84 shots better than it was on an 18-hole course Monday.

The Mustangs went to Oskaloosa on Thursday and finished with a team score of 454. That was much better than the 539 the Mustangs carded in placing eighth out of nine teams at the West Marshall Invitational on Monday.

PCM girls coach Val Edwards did not receive full results by press time, but Maher set a new 18-hole school record with am 85.

She was followed by Ellie Steenhoek’s 115, Abby Van Haaften’s 126 and Sabrina Reed’s 128.

CHARITON — The Prairie City-Monroe boys’ soccer team is getting close to recording its first win of the year.

The Mustangs almost got it done Thursday night but

At the par 72 Lincoln Valley Golf Course in State Center on Monday, Maher finished in a tie for sixth with a 103. Steenhoek carded a 142, Van Haaften shot a 143 and Reed finished with a 151.

Two-time defending Class 1A state champion Grundy Center won the meet with a 394 and Spartan senior Josie McMartin was the medalist with an 83. Nevada’s Claire Ausman carded a 91 for runner-up medalist. That was just one shot better than BCLUW’s Abby McLean.

PCM hosts the Mustang Classic at 1 p.m. Thursday.

The event will take place at Gateway Municipal Golf Course in Monroe.

Improvement Continued from Page 2B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior Jacob Lietz set a new personal-best time in the 400-meter dash Thursday when he crossed the line in 52.30 seconds.

That was fastest enough to win the gold medal in Martensdale.

The junior finished his quarter in 53.60 seconds and the 4x200 relay team of Lourens, Myers, Alan Wheeler and Simpson was fourth in 1:41.02.

Fifth-place finishes went to Richard Blom in the 110-meter high hurdles as well as the shuttle hurdle relay team and the 4x800 relay team.

The shuttle hurdle foursome included Lourens, Blom, Sean Borts and Myers and they hit the line in 1:10.20.

The 4x800 team of Simpson, Clayton Brown, Adam Teed and Cameron Warner stopped the clock in 9:24.

CMB girls fall to Webster City

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Cassandra Bianchi, right, battles North Polk’s Hannah Becker for a loose ball earlier this season. The Raiders dropped to 0-4 on the year following a 5-0 home loss to Webster City on Thursday.

that might end his season.

Iowa can’t afford to lose Beathard, because he’s the only quarterback they have who’s taken a collegiate snap.

“We will incorporate a little bit using his legs because he has the ability. At the same time you don’t want to expose a quarterback to undue hits,” Davis said. “I think he will do some things leaving the pocket on unscheduled runs.”

Asked what the Hawkeyes learned from letting Tennessee score 35 points in the first half in January, Parker said they simply “didn’t show up.”

Parker is looking to see a more focused defensive effort moving forward.

“Is it disappointing? Does it hurt? For a while, yeah.

But you have to get back

up and get back after it and start coaching the guys the way we’ve always coached them. I think guys are more involved,” Parker said. “I’m not going to change the way I did it. You always look at your scheme. Is your scheme good? What’s the breakdown? There are some things we’ve got to fix.”

Parker has spent much of the spring looking for replacements for star tackles Louis Trinca-Pasat and Carl Davis and moving around his young linebackers in search of the right fit.

Parker said that expected starting tackles Jaleel Johnson and Nate Bazata have made progress. He also thinks the depth and added experience the linebackers got this spring should cut on the numerous missed reads they made in 2014.

Newton girls’ tennis team falls to Pella

Pella’s Little Dutch swept the doubles matches to win the Little Hawkeye Conference dual, 10-1.

US Olympic wrestling trials headed back to Iowa The Associated Press The U.S. Olympic Team Trials in returning to Iowa City in 2016.

USA Wrestling spokesman Gary Abbott told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the meet to set the American team headed to the 2016 Rio Games

will be held at the University of Iowa next April.

The U.S. staged the trials in Iowa City in 2012 to sellout crowds. That wasn’t surprising considering that the Iowa wrestling team, which uses Carver-Hawkeye Arena as its home gym, typically leads the nation in attendance.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Turning and handling the ball is Newton High’s Zach Combs (22) in a home game earlier this season. Combs was credited with his second assist of the season Thursday in a 2-1 loss at Marshalltown.

Bobcats scratch out one-goal victory against Cardinals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — Another heartbreaking loss for Newton High’s Cardinal boys on the soccer field. The Cardinals dropped a 2-1 decision against host Marshalltown Thursday night.

Following a scoreless first half, the Bobcats broke through first on a goal with 35:18 left in the second half.

Josh Ventling kicked in the equalizer for Newton off a pass from Zach Combs. Newton’s goal came at the 33:06 mark.

Marshalltown scored the

go-ahead goal with 14:13 remaining in the contest.

“The boys played well again tonight,” said Sackda Viravong, NHS head coach. “I was pretty pleased with the way we handled heavy pressure from our opponent. We didn’t crumble and we kept plugging away.”

Marshalltown had 10 shots on goal to Newton’s five. The Bobcats took seven corner kicks and the Cardinals had three corner kicks.

Newton goalkeeper Grant Davidson was credited with eight saves.

“Our guys showed a great deal of character from every

angle against Marshalltown,” Viravong said.

“These types of game will help us as the season progresses, especially in the playoffs.”

Newton’s junior varsity claimed a 1-0 victory on a goal

by Grayson Bookbinder in the 24th minute of the first half.

The Cardinal freshmen lost 1-0.

Newton is 4-4 overall. The Cardinals head into Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference game at Grinnell with a 0-2 conference mark.

Astrograph

People act differently in their homes than they do out in the general public. If you have a friend you only know in a public setting and would like to get to know more about this person, the Cancer moon suggests a house party tonight. Entertaining or being entertained where one lives will be most delightful.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 24).

Messages from parent to child will have a magical impact in May. June will bring dancing. New friends and possibly pets, too, will be featured in July. You’ll take a wild ride in August. Work gets better once you get educated. You’ll

make more money where people skills and technical skills meet. Aries and Gemini people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 14, 1, 49, 38 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

When you get together with friends, prompt them to bring friends, too, and prepare to benefit in unforeseen ways. In fact, the more new people you meet the luckier you’ll be.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In entertainment, conflict is necessary for a good story. In life, not so much. In fact, the perfect amount of conflict for the story of this eve-

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are in the mood to discover, and your preferred learning style lately is hands-on, with instruction. That’s one reason you’ll be attracted to people who know what you’d like to know.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Maybe you won’t be able to come up with the big idea, but don’t worry. Lots of small ideas are going to be more interesting to execute anyway. Plus you’ll get help.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Socializing is supposed to be fun, so don’t let it get too labored. Stick with the conversation for as long as it’s

juicy. When you feel like you’re down to the pulp and the peel, move along.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Tearing down the old to make room for the new is a process that has helped you in your work, and now it’s about to help you in your personal life, too. You’re ready to embrace a new identity and let go of who you were.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Using your body relaxes your mind. The reverse won’t be true (especially not with the intense mental activity this day will bring), and so the best thing you can do for your creativity and general mood is exercise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do

you think it’s true that you have to stop wanting something in order to get it? Unfortunately, it is difficult to consciously decide to no longer want something. Substitutions may keep you from holding on too tight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your favorite type of risk is a calculated one. You don’t mind slim odds; you just want to know exactly what they are. The most exciting journeys are the ones with no guarantee of success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Self-promotion works best when the work itself is what’s needed.

That’s why you’re wise to find out what your crowd really wants before you try to market something

less interesting to them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Everything you do with your friends costs money. Step back and make a plan, because the evening will get financially out of control unless you have one. Your social life doesn’t have to be at odds with your financial life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ve trumped up a fear in your mind. A small act of courage is all that will be necessary to dispel it.

This will be like flicking on the lights -- the scary shadows will disappear in an instant.
