Monroe home, residents unharmed by garage fire

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News MONROE — Damage was limited and no one was injured in a Monroe garage fire that took place shortly after midnight Saturday morning.

The Monroe Fire Department responded to 502 W. Marion St. within minutes of the 911 call issued by a neighbor.

The garage is a detached

structure, but it’s within a few feet of the house, so the quick response prevented the fire from spreading.

According to Monroe Assistant Fire Chief Eric Jenkins, the home did not suffer any fire or smoke damage and no cars were parked in the garage. Several fire department volunteers were still at Prairie City-Monroe High School helping set up for

prom, which made the response time so quick.

The homeowners, who were sorting through the damage late Saturday morning, said they were unaware the garage was on fire until a neighbor pounded on their door to inform them. The residents said they are not sure what caused the fire.

A district culture survey will be one of the discussion items on the agenda when the Newton Community School District Board of Education convenes for Monday’s regular meeting.

The meeting is slated for 6:30 p.m. at Emerson Hough.

The discussion of a culture survey will be led by Superintendent Bob Callaghan. The term “culture survey” has come up in sevCallaghan eral contexts at recent board meetings, including one where Chris Pierson of the Heartland AEA discussed some of the benefits of the Denison Culture Survey.

Also, the board will consider naming the administration building and renaming its alternative school programs that are set to be housed there beginning this summer. A three-person committee — comprised of board members Donna Cook, Josh Cantu, and Ann Leonard — took on this task, and the naming is on Monday’s agenda as an action-only item.

Happy Medium presents findings to city council

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Find a cohesive approach to city branding, marketing and outreach. That was the most important suggestion given by Happy Medium to the City of Newton.

Happy Medium, a full-service marketing firm from Des Moines, was asked to look at the city and its stakeholders marketing efforts from an outside perspective and make recommendations on how to be more effective and efficient in future endeavors.

The findings were presented to the Newton City Council at its last meeting.

Account director Kristen

Walker and her three associates spent a total of 15 hours over several days talking with re pre s e nt a tives from the city, Newton Walker Housing Development Corporation, Newton Development Corporation, Newton Main Street, Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce, Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Newton Community School District.

“We became big fans of Newton in the time we spent

here. We were all from Des Moines, and we were all very surprised at how much Newton has going on,” Walker said. “Our action plan that we put together is really a plan to help use that momentum and keep that going and make the most of what you have going on right now.”

To develop a cohesive approach to all city branding and marketing, Happy Medium recommends finding a way to have all of the groups work together to use resources in a more cohesive way. Working as one group of seven instead of seven groups of one will help each MARKETING | 3A

US stocks dip, following losses in global markets NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are slipping Monday morning as global stocks also took losses. Energy companies are falling the farthest although the price of oil is little changed. Companies including business service provider Xerox and drugmaker Perrigo are down after they reported disappointing earnings.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 79 points, or 0.4 percent, to 17,924 as of 10:04 a.m. Eastern time. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 7 points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,084. The Nasdaq composite index slid 8 points, or 0.2 per-

cent, to 4,898.

Irish drugmaker Perrigo is tumbling after it cut its profit forecast. The company said prices for over-the-counter products in Europe are down, and it may take an impairment charge for a business it bought just a year ago.

Perrigo’s CEO also left the company to join Valeant Pharmaceuticals. The stock lost $12.20, or 10.1 percent, to $1095.15.

Corporate earnings statements pick up a head of steam this week. Among this week’s notable reports are BP, Fiat Chrysler, Procter & Gamble,

Airbus, Amazon and Time Warner. Around a third of the S&P 500 are due to report.

GET THAT PAPER: Gannett, the owner of USA Today and other papers, offered to buy Tribune Publishing for $388 million. Tribune owns 11 newspapers including the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune. It said Tribune has refused to start constructive talks.

Gannett stock rose 12 cents to $16.

First Data Corp. jumped 85 cents, or 6.5 percent, to $13.85. The electronic commerce and payment services

provider reported a larger profit than analysts expected.

Central bank policy meetings in Japan and the U.S. are the focus of investors’ attention this week. The Federal Reserve will wrap up a meeting Wednesday. Investors don’t expect it to raise interest rates, but the Fed’s comments about the U.S. and global economy will be closely watched.

Traders will look to see whether the Japanese central bank enacts a further stimulus.

Benchmark U.S. crude inched up 5 cents to $43.78 a barrel in New York. Brent

crude, used to price international oils, rose 33 cents to $45.44.

Germany’s DAX fell 0.9 percent and France’s CAC 40 slipped 0.5 percent. Britain’s FTSE 100 lost 0.7 percent. Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 dipped 0.8 percent. In South Korea the Kospi inched down 0.1 percent. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng fell 0.8 percent.

Bond prices declined and the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose to 1.90 percent from 1.89 percent.

The euro rose to $1.1257 from $1.1245. The dollar fell to 11.12 yen from 111.67 yen.

Obama pushes for global trade deals in face of opposition

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Hanson Directory CEO Bill Hanson takes his turn through Candyland during the company’s annual mini-golf tournament. For more than 10 years, offices within the building take a turn elaborately decorating a mini-golf hole for fellow co-workers to compete on.

Office mini-golf popular attraction at Hanson

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A hushed silence falls over the crowd as the golf club begins its swing to finally get the ball in the hole. As the club makes contact, the balls begins rolling but before it reaches the hole, nicks a toy box of French fries and careens to the left. The crowd explodes with laughter and begin heckling the golfer as he tries to figure out where it all went wrong.

No, that is not a scene from a PGA tournament, but from the Hanson Directory inter-office mini-golf tournament.

In its 12th year, the tournament features nine highly decorated, themed mini-golf holes in nine different departments throughout the building.

A bracket is created, 17 people are playing this year, and at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. breaks, the office comes out to watch two golfers compete in a head-tohead match.

“At our last location we had it outside. When we moved to our new location we moved it inside because we had more room,” Hanson said “They really get into it. They like it.”

Along with the mini-golf tournament the office hosts a bags tournament, intramural sports day and has a friendly Iowa versus Iowa State competition.

“This time of year is everyone’s favorite. Everyone gets up and together roaming around during breaks, just having fun,” Perkins said.

Between the hoots and hollers as the ball makes it into the hole or takes a wrong turn and ends up way of course, it is easy to see that the mini-golf tournament is a crowd favorite.

Hanson showed his enthusiasm as he completed against his daughter, Veronica, narrowly defeating her 5-4 in nine holes.

The two made their way through intricately decorated holes with themes ranging from popular movies such as “Star Wars” and “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” to tasty treats with both M&M and Candyland themed holes.

At the Easter themed hole, golfers were required to wear Easter bunny ears and the “Star Wars” hole was played in the dark with Christmas lights guiding the way.

The most talked about hole this year focused on the “Wizard of Oz” story. Golfers had to get through a tornado before making their way down the yel-

HANNOVER, Germany (AP) — President Barack Obama mounted a strong defense of international trade deals Sunday in the face of domestic and foreign opposition, saying it’s “indisputable” that such agreements strengthen the economy and make U.S. businesses more competitive worldwide. But he acknowledged that the clock is ticking on his faltering trade agenda.

Obama, on a farewell visit to Germany as president, is trying to light a fire under stalled talks about a trans-Atlantic trade deal, a massive pact that would rewrite the rules for the billions in trade and investment between the European Union and the U.S. At a press conference, a trade show and a private dinner with chief executives, Obama tried to counter public skepticism about the unfinished deal with Europe, while also brushing off opposition from the 2016 presidential candidates to a pending Asia-Pacific trade pact.

Despite all that, Obama said, “the majority of people still favor trade. They still recognize, on balance, that it’s a good idea.”

“If you look at the benefits to the United States or to Germany of free trade around the world, it is indisputable that it has made our economies stronger,” Obama said.

The president said he was confident negotiations on the trans-Atlantic trade deal could be completed by the end of year, with ratification to follow. And he said that once the U.S. presidential primary season is over and politics settle down, the trans-Pacific pact, awaiting ratification, can “start moving forward” in Congress.

Obama is pushing to conclude negotiations on the European deal before he leaves office, so that “next president can pick that up rapidly and get that done,” he told the BBC in an interview broadcast Sunday.

But it’s not certain that the next president would pick up where Obama leaves off on trade. The trans-Atlantic pact has not been a top issue in the campaign to choose Obama’s successor. And both leading candidates — Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump — oppose the Asia-Pacific trade pact for its potential impact on American jobs and wages.

Obama isn’t alone in facing opposition on trade.

His host and partner on the daylong campaign, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, also is under pressure from critics who claim the trans-Atlantic deal would erode environmental standards and consumer protections.

“The main thing about this day is to get people out and enjoy being outdoors. So whether we actually accomplish a lot or not, it’s just great to have this many people out doing something,” Hager said. “With that being said, if those branches didn’t get picked up, that’s what I’d be doing all summer long. Volunteers are everything when it comes to getting something like this accomplished.”

The branches were once invasive trees that grew above

the canopy and prevented the native oak trees from receiving the proper nutrients. Refuge workers trimmed the invasive trees over the winter, but were unable to use machinery to transport the fallen branches to a burn pile because the ground wasn’t frozen enough.

Oak trees are sensitive to compaction, especially in their drip line, so that’s why Earth Day volunteers spent the morning moving the branches by hand, Hager said.

The burning, however, will take place on invasive grassland so no harm will be done to the savanna.

Volunteers worked until about 11:30 a.m. before returning to the visitors center for a free lunch supplied by Prairie City restaurant Goldie’s Ice

Cream Shoppe. Shredded pork sandwiches, chips, brownies and lemonade were available to volunteers as a thank you for their participation.

The NSNWR has approximately 5,500 acres of land giving native plants and animals a safe place to live. While at the center visitors can drive through the bison refuge, walk one of the many trails through the prairie or bike on the newly installed bicycle lanes while experiencing what Prairie City looked like hundreds of years ago.

The refuge’s next big event is Pedal the Prairie, a bike ride along the entry way road on May 21.

Continued from Page 1A group accomplish more and potentially lighten the work load from many of the one employee organizations.

“You have a lot of groups that have just one employee.

I think the best thing to do it really to sit down with all of these groups and make a plan of how are we going to do this. Lets set some action steps, lets assigns roles to different people, lets create some different bench marks to know different successes throughout all of the groups,” Walker said.

The proposal gave an example of the Newton Development Corporation, Newton Main Street and the Chamber of Commerce working together to bring new businesses to Newton.

Another high priority for the city, according to Happy Medium, is revamping the city website. It was found that while the website holds a large amount of valuable information, many of the city’s stakeholders have websites that duplicate the information.

“One of the biggest things we want to take into consideration is the user when they are looking for information. If someone is new to Newton or visiting, their likely first search is in Google for the city of Newton, Iowa. The first thing that comes up is the city’s website, but they may not know that they need to go to the housing development website to find out about different things, they may not know that even exists,” Walker said.

Many council members agreed with the assessment of the website and echoed the importance of a user friendly platform for potential visitors to the city.

“Making sure your information is clear, concise and available, because people aren’t going to continue to search the website. There are a couple of logical steps and if it’s not available and not there, they won’t keep looking,” councilwoman Miranda Kulis said.

Happy Medium recommended having a single website for the city and many of its stakeholders, giving those organizations individuals pages within

“There may be one person in each group doing all of the work and so consolidating that website process into one website, that is only one website to update.

While they may have individual pages, it’s much simpler to update and to maintain,” Walker said.

A final area Walker focused on was improving the opinion of Newton among long-time residents.

In a recent survey done by the city, Happy Medium found of those who have been living in Newton for 20 years, most responded they did not think Newton was a good place to live or visit.

“Your long-time residents could be your biggest cheerleaders for Newton and your biggest proponents for living here and visiting here. Really turning that conversation around and filtering the positivity out into more of the community is something that we really recommend,” Walker said.

Different events such as panels to create talking points about Newton for people to use when asked about the city and luncheons where city leaders talk about the strategic plan and what goals the city has for the next five years and what it has accomplished in the last five years were suggested to help turn the opinion of city doubters.

Looking toward the future, Happy Medium charged the city with looking beyond the Get to Know Newton campaign. By setting a definition of what “get to know” means, whether it is a three or five year process, the city can then begin planning for the next phase of the marketing program.

“We don’t think this is a very quick process, it is a long term thing. Then you could drop off the Get to Know and change it to Proud to Know or just do Newton,” Walker said.

The strategies recommended by Happy Medium have implementation goals of six to 12 months depending on the complexity and time needed from the city staff and its stakeholders.

Teen Beat, Doogie and bragging rights

W

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | April 25, 2016

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer

hen I was growing up, there was nothing quite like diving into the latest edition of Teen Beat, searching for the celebrity centerfold poster and securing a spot for it on my bedroom wall.

We’re talking my teen idol, Alyssa Milano, of “Who’s the Boss?”, both Coreys (Corey Haim and Corey Feldman) Kirk Cameron, Michael J. Fox, Ralph Macchio and my equivalents of modern day Taylor Swift — Debbie Gibson and Tiffany.

If you’re asking yourself — did I have torn jeans and draw on my knee like Debbie Gibson did on her “Out of the Blue” album cover (OK, it was a tape) — I absolutely did. I also began drinking iced tea because — hello — I read in Teen Beat it was Alyssa Milano’s favorite drink! I also used products like Aqua Net

hairspray, Electric Youth perfume and wore scrunchies. I was in every way a victim to popular trends. These days we have BuzzFeed to occasionally remind us these things — and that we owned and regularly used a caboodle.

Of course reading Teen Beat was just one of the ways I engaged in celebrity worshipping. If I remember correctly, magazines like these would provide an address to write to your favorite pop stars near the back of the edition. This was something I engaged in as regularly as listening to Casey Kasem’s Top 40 on the radio — and of course “taped” it so I could listen to the songs again later.

My actual celebrity interactions are limited to seeing John Ritter (“Three’s Company”) at a ballet in Los Angeles and interviewing legendary Iowa Football coach Hayden Fry via telephone from

an Iowa City newsroom. Political candidates and spouses don’t really count to me in this business, especially in Iowa, but among the many, I fondly remember interviewing Michelle Obama at the Blanden Museum in Fort Dodge and Elizabeth Edwards at a backyard barbecue. It’s also pretty cool to have a photo of my son at age 2 being held by someone who would become the President of the United States.

Recently, I was able to one-up a friend who has met, and oftentimes interviewed, as many random celebrities as you can imagine.

I revealed to her I have a signed photo of Doogie Howser, M.D. Neil Patrick Harris (but forever Doogie to me) was one of my larger childhood crushes. My son recently came across some notes and doodles of mine that conveyed that crush. Note: Things we did before smartphones.

Apparently my friend took a break from watching “Murder She Wrote,” (yes she actually does that with regularity) to indulge in “Doogie Howser, M.D.” now

streaming on Hulu. The show tells the epic tale of a child genius who practices medicine and always ended with him making a diary entry into his computer — which I loved because I of course kept a diary. These days Doogie is better known for being a Tony Award-winning actor, awards host and playing the somewhat obnoxious role of Barney in “How I Met Your Mother.” He’s also completely not straight. Still, I will always admire him and try to “Stay Well,” as he wrote on his personal autograph to me.

These memories and more came flooding back last week as my son asked me to help him hang a poster on his bedroom wall. But unlike my way-cool celebrity centerfolds, his wall is more of a tribute to the Iowa Hawkeyes, Star Wars, MAD magazine and a few video games.

He has also hung an autographed photo of Olympic gold medalist boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, who he spent the day with last fall. Maybe someday he’ll get some bragging rights from that.

Eye on America John Stossel

Hospital

I write this from the hospital. Seems I have lung cancer.

My doctors tell me my growth was caught early and I’ll be fine. Soon I will barely notice that a fifth of my lung is gone. I believe them. After all, I’m at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. U.S. News & World Report ranked it No. 1 in New York. I get excellent medical care here.

But as a consumer reporter, I have to say, the hospital’s customer service stinks. Doctors keep me waiting for hours, and no one bothers to call or email to say, “I’m running late.” Few doctors give out their email address. Patients can’t communicate using modern technology.

I get X-rays, EKG tests, echocardiograms, blood tests. Are all needed? I doubt it. But no one discusses that with me or mentions the cost. Why would they? The patient rarely pays directly. Government or insurance companies pay.

I fill out long medical history forms by hand and, in the next office, do it again. Same wording: name, address, insurance, etc.

I shouldn’t be surprised that hospitals are lousy at customer service. The Detroit Medical Center once bragged that it was one of America’s first hospitals to track medication with barcodes. Good! But wait — ordinary supermarkets did that decades before.

Customer service is sclerotic because hospitals are largely socialist bureaucracies. Instead of answering to consumers, which forces businesses to be nimble, hospitals report to government, lawyers and insurance companies.

Whenever there’s a mistake, politicians impose new rules: the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act paperwork, patient rights regulations, new layers of bureaucracy...

Nurses must follow state regulations that stipulate things like, “Notwithstanding subparagraph (i) of paragraph (a) of this subdivision, a nurse practitioner, certified under section sixty-nine hundred ten of this article and practicing for more than three thousand six hundred hours may comply with this paragraph in lieu of complying with the requirements of paragraph (a)...”

Try running a business with rules like that.

Adding to that is a fear of lawsuits. Nervous hospital lawyers pretend mistakes can be prevented with paper and procedure. Stressed hospital workers ignore common sense and follow rigid rules.

In the intensive care unit, night after night, machines beep, but often no one responds. Nurses say things like “old machines,” “bad batteries,” “we know it’s not an emergency.” Bureaucrats don’t care if you sleep. No one sues because he can’t sleep.

Some of my nurses were great — concerned about my comfort and stress — but other hospital workers were indifferent. When the customer doesn’t pay, customer service rarely matters.

The hospital does have “patient representatives” who tell me about “patient rights.” But it feels unnatural, like grafting wings onto a pig.

I’m as happy as the next guy to have government or my insurance company pay, but the result is that there’s practically no free market. Markets work when buyer and seller deal directly with each other.

That doesn’t happen in hospitals.

You may ask, “How could it? Patients don’t know which treatments are needed or which seller is best.

Medicine is too complex for consumers to negotiate.”

But cars, computers and airplane flights are complex, too, and the market still incentivizes sellers to discount and compete on service. It happens in medicine, too, when you get plastic surgery or Lasik surgery. Those doctors give patients their personal email addresses and cellphone numbers. They compete to please patients.

What’s different about those specialties? The patient pays the bill.

Many benefits from Iowa’s commitment to renewable energy

Iowa is a leader in clean, renewable energy. Our efforts are allowing us to leave behind fuels that pollute our air and water while creating good jobs, expanding markets for our crops and growing industries that strengthen Iowa’s economy.

The Senate recently voted unanimously to continue our leadership when it comes to biofuels. SF 2309 will extend Iowa’s tax credits for biodiesel, E85 and E15 for seven years, and increase a tax credit for B11 and higher blends of biodiesel.

At a time when federal support for biofuels is uncertain, this legislation provides the long-term, stable commitment the industry needs to invest, innovate, improve and grow. It’s important for: • Jobs – More than 40,000 Iowans work in the biofuels industry.

• Farmers – Biofuels make use

State View Sen. Chaz Allen of soy oil, corn oil, animal fats and other waste products.

• The environment – Biofuels cut pollution and reduce our need for fossil fuels.

• Energy security – Homegrown fuels make us less dependent on foreign oil.

Iowa’s leadership in wind energy also continues to grow. In 2003, the Legislature approved efforts to attract wind energy investment to Iowa, and has since made sure our community colleges have the resources to train skilled workers who manage and maintain the wind farms that dot our landscape. Today, Iowa gets 31 percent of its power from wind—more than any other

state.

Soon, wind will make up 40 percent of Iowa energy. MidAmerican Energy is investing $3.6 billion to build turbines that will generate an additional 2,000 megawatts of wind energy. This commitment to clean, renewable energy will create jobs and expand manufacturing and business opportunities, while keeping Iowa’s utility rates among the lowest in the country.

This week, the Iowa Senate took an additional step in support of locally produced energy.

Senate Resolution 118 calls on the federal government to continue the Renewable Fuels Standard.

The RFS requires transportation fuel to contain a minimum volume of renewable fuels, which has expanded domestic energy production and strengthened our rural communities.

Family dysfunction allows assaults to go unpunished

DEAR ABBY: Thirty-five years ago, my wife was raped in her mother’s home when she was a teenager. Eight years ago, my daughter was also raped at the age of 11 in the same home. My mother-in-law blames them both for having been raped. She told them if it did happen, they probably deserved it.

I don’t understand this. How can someone take the side of the perpetrator and not their own flesh and blood?

How can someone who is supposed to be nurturing, loving and caring say such terrible things to her children?

I want to call her up and give her a piece of my mind, especially since both of them are passive when it comes to this woman. Can they file a lawsuit against her for mental anguish? Help! I want to help them heal from this tragedy, and I don’t know what to do. — DISTRAUGHT DAD IN TEXAS DEAR DISTRAUGHT: It is not unusual for families to circle the wagons when this kind of sexual assault occurs, or to blame the victim. That is why the damage persists from generation to generation. It’s clear that your wife’s mother is either in denial or without shame.

If the perpetrator isn’t in prison or a program for sex offenders, the person you should talk to is a detective in the police force in the city where these sexual assaults happened. If your wife and daughter haven’t received counseling for the assaults (and I’m betting they haven’t), they should find some now.

The victims didn’t “deserve” being assaulted. Counseling may help them get in touch with their anger, aim it where it belongs, and finally release it along with their passivity — which may really be fear of expressing their emotions.

DEAR ABBY: My wife’s first husband died of cancer. When we got engaged years later, she decided to keep his last name (partly in regard to her

daughters) and add mine to it. She continues to display some photos of him around the house and maintains her plan to be buried with him at their common gravesite.

Whoever thinks I must be jealous or resentful about this would be wrong.

I haven’t experienced a long marriage, raising children or nursing a terminally ill spouse for years. Instead of demanding that my wife “prove her love” by ignoring her history, I prove my love for her — in part — by deferring to her choices.

Soon after our wedding we learned that I, too, had cancer. My case was treatable and I am now cured, thanks to God in heaven and my wife’s tender care.

We once knew someone who couldn’t bear to think of his wife’s ever marrying after his death. He pleaded, badgered and practically forced her to vow she wouldn’t. So this is my message for men who are jealous about a deceased or hypothetical “rival”: That is your own choice and it disgraces you.

Grow out of it. Be a man and love your wife while you both live. — LATECOMER IN PASCO, WASH. DEAR LATECOMER: Your wife is one lucky woman because she married an intelligent and pragmatic man.

I hope you enjoy many more happy, healthy years together.

1 Church selling parsonage for $1, but buyer must move it

KINGSLEY — A northwest Iowa church is selling its old next-door parsonage for $1, but the buyer has to move it. Sioux City television station KTIV reports that parish leaders decided two years ago that a new parsonage would be bought, so the building that’s housed pastors since 1923 will be sold. It cost $11,000 to build. Parish leaders say they just want the house to go to people who will love it as parish members have. The parish has received a couple of offers, but nothing is set yet.

Assistant Fire Chief Derrick Williams says no injuries were reported in the fire, but the building will need to be repaired before it can be used again.

Garrison’s sentencing on the one count of willful injury is set for May 23. Authorities say Garrison argued with 34-year-old Jacob Duhrkopf on Dec. 10 because Duhrkopf owed money to an acquaintance of Garrison.

Commission told of lack of Native American foster homes SIOUX CITY — A state panel is getting an earful about a lack of foster homes for Native American children in northwestern Iowa. The Iowa Commission on Native American Affairs was told of the problem Friday during a three-hour meeting in Sioux City. Shane Frisch, a state social work supervisor, told the commission that there are only five licensed foster homes with Native American parents in Woodbury County.

—The Associated Press

To end overtime, lawmakers must navigate roadblocks The Associated Press DES MOINES — There isn’t a deadline for the Iowa Legislature to adjourn, but there clearly are some issues that are keeping lawmakers from finishing their work.

Lawmakers try to be done by the annual date when payments for their expenses end.

This year payments ended on April 19, so lawmakers are several days late, with plenty of work ahead of them in the coming week.

For every legislative deal reached over issues like K-12 education funding and tax rules, there’s disagreement over Medicaid oversight and transportation. At least some bills that will make up the nearly $7.35 billion budget are expected to be sorted out in special legislative committees that only form when there’s no consensus in the split Legislature.

Here are five issues that could delay adjournment.

Medicaid The roughly $1.8 billion health and human services budget bill includes money for Medicaid, which provides health services to about 560,000 poor and disabled Iowa residents. Lawmakers are

at odds over state oversight of the program under privatization, which went into effect April 1.

Senate Democrats say the switch has resulted in numerous complaints over denied claims and coverage. State officials say the problems are not systemic.

Lawmakers in the Republican-majority House have proposed an oversight plan they say will provide data and add transparency. Sen. Amanda Ragan, D-Mason City, said the House language “falls far short of what is needed,” on consumer protections, children’s health care, reimbursement payments and evaluation.

Planned Parenthood The same health and human services budget bill proposed by the House would block Medicaid funding for family planning facilities that provide abortions — a direct shot at Planned Parenthood. Democrats say removing state dollars will make about $3 million in federal funding unavailable to Iowa for family planning services.

None of the Medicaid funding given to the Iowa affiliate of Planned Parenthood goes toward abortions, but Republi-

cans still are against supporting the organization.

In previous sessions Democrats have blocked similar Republican efforts, however some GOP lawmakers said they now have extra motivation following the release last year of secretly recorded videos by anti-abortion activists showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing the use of fetal tissue. Investigations into the videos have turned up no wrongdoing by Planned Parenthood, but several states have taken action to remove funding for the organization.

Rep. Walt Rogers, R-Cedar Falls, opposes abortion rights and said, “It feels like there’s a stronger will in our caucus to get something done this year.”

Transportation The transportation budget bill is usually one of the first pieces of legislation to be approved, but there’s disagreement this year over funding for the Iowa Department of Transportation. The Senate passed a roughly $378 million bill that included more than $9 million in new money that the agency requested for staffing. Without the extra money, the department said it would need to cut more than 150 jobs.

Rep. Pat Grassley, R-New Hartford and chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, challenged the department’s claims because the department received a status quo budget last year but added jobs.

“Something does not add up to me on that front,” he said.

The Senate plans to restore funding removed by the House, arguing it could affect work on roads and bridges.

Infrastructure The Senate has proposed roughly $192 million in spending for infrastructure projects, a portion of which comes from a fund that collects gambling tax money. A proposal by the Senate to spend money to furnish a new Polk County government building was removed by the House. The Senate also proposed more funding for maintenance projects.

Although separate from the bill, the Senate has also proposed borrowing money through bonding to spend more than $100 million to renovate the state historical building, an office building and a law enforcement academy facility.

House Republicans and Branstad opposed borrowing, so the renovation proposals could be left in limbo.

“We’ve got a ways to go,” said Sen. Matt McCoy, D-Des Moines, about the various negotiations.

Standing Bill The standing bill is usually among the last pieces of legislation to pass each session. The bulk of funding in the bill goes toward basic aid for K-12 education, but lawmakers often use the measure to add projects or revive failed proposals.

The House and Senate have several differences in their versions of the bill. The Senate wants to simplify regulation for hair braiders in the state and appropriate $50,000 for a grant that promotes the inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The House isn’t considering either proposal.

The House wants to remove $20 million for area education agencies that provide support to school districts. The Senate reduces that cut by $1.3 million.

Amid a longstanding debate over funding for water quality initiatives this session, the House added $2 million to a proposed new fund for such projects. The Senate, which doesn’t want to use existing general fund dollars for the effort, didn’t include the money.

Iowa program offers aid to attract dentists to rural areas ty-five of Iowa’s 99 counties are short on dentists.

Adrienne D’Agostino Kane is receiving $80,000 in tuition reimbursement that helped make it possible for her to take over her father’s practice in Maquoketa and serve the community she grew up in.

“This grant opportu-

nity became available, and it just made it easier to be able to do that, as well as pay off my student loans,” Kane told the newspaper.

Delta Dental of Iowa provides most of the grant money while the state and local communities add to the total. Participants receive $50,000

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Kaytlin Ahn (16) tangles with Dallas Center-Grimes’ Paulina Secory (3) for possession of the ball in the first half of Friday’s Little Hawkeye Conference showdown at H.A. Lynn Stadium. The visiting Class 2A seventh-ranked DCG Fillies edged out the 2A eighth-ranked Cardinals, 2-1.

Cardinals fall to Fillies

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Two ranked teams battled up and down the field at H.A. Lynn Stadium during Friday’s Little Hawkeye Conference soccer game. Iowa Class 2A’s eighthranked Newton High’s girls hosted 2A seventh-ranked Dal-

las Center-Grimes.

Both offenses putting pressure on the defenses and goalkeepers. Each team playing solid defense.

Scoring late in each half, the Fillies handed the Newton Cardinals their first loss of the season by a 2-1 count.

The Cardinals and Fillies

played 39 minutes of scoreless soccer before a bounce of the ball led to the lone goal of the first half. A Dallas Center-Grimes player sent a long kick from the right side of the goal and the ball sailed over the Newton defenders and goalkeeper.

There will be three area entries in this year’s Drake Relays.

A Newton girls relay and individuals from Prairie City-Monroe and Collins-Maxwell/Baxter will be a part of the annual event at Drake Stadium.

The first area athlete to run on the blue oval will be CMB senior Brady Stover, who qualified for the boys 100-meter dash. Also running Friday morning is the Newton girls’ sprint medley relay team, while Prairie City-Monroe junior Jayci Vos takes part in the girls 400 hurdles Saturday afternoon.

The Cardinal foursome of Liz McVey, Alex Hutchinson, Leela Spencer and Sydney Jenkins were the 24th and final qualifying relay in the sprint medley event.

Newton qualified with a time of 1 minute, 52.76 seconds, which was .01 seconds faster than Central Elkader, and it runs in the first of three heats at 10:13 a.m. Friday.

The Cardinals will be in lane eight. They’ll get to run against Little Hawkeye Conference rival Dallas Center-Grimes, which qualified with the 23rd best time. The Fillies

will be in lane one.

CMB’s Stover runs in the 100 at 8:46 a.m. Friday. The Raider senior is making his first trip to the Drake Relays, and his time of 11.11 seconds ranks 31st out of the 32 qualifiers.

Stover runs in lane eight of heat three. Joining Stover in the third heat will be Madrid’s Michael Santi. Stover and Santi could face off against each other at a Class 2A state qualifier in Van Meter later this season.

The 400 hurdles is the hardest individual event to qualify for at the Drake Relays. Vos is one of just eight qualifiers in the event. Her 1:05.64 was the eighth qualifying time, and she’ll run in lane eight at 1:25 p.m. Saturday.

The fastest qualifying time was 1:03.89. Vos’ time kept multiple-time state and Drake Relays distance champion Stephanie Jenks of Linn-Mar out of the race. Jenks ended up with the ninth best qualifying time in the state.

Vos is the first female individual qualifier at PCM since Bridget Martin took over the program four seasons ago.

Humphrey, Kingery inducted into Jasper County Bowling Hall of Fame

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Dave Humphrey and the late Carroll Kingery are the newest members of the Jasper County Men’s Bowling Association Hall of Fame. The two longtime Newton bowlers were inducted in a ceremony Thursday at Newton’s Cardinal Lanes.

Kingery’s Hall of Fame plaque was accepted on his behalf by his son Dustin Kingery, who is the JCBA president. Kingery was inducted under the meritorious service category.

Humphrey was inducted in the bowling ability category for his excellence in bowling achievements and for his years of service in the JCBA. Humphrey began as a member of the association’s board of directors in 1989, served as the JCBA president and the association’s manager.

Jasper County Men’s Bowling Association also present its annual bowling scholarships Thursday. Newton High senior Madison Humphrey and junior Reid Miller were the recipients.

JCBA president Dustin Kingery, left, accepted his late father’s plaque presented by JCBA vice president David Anderson, right.

Both students were members of the Newton High School bowling teams.

“Dad would have really liked this honor,” Dustin Kingery said. “I know I appreciate the honor for him. It’s unfortunate he wasn’t here to receive it.”

Carroll Kingery died in January 2015. He was a 1954 Newton High School graduate and a 20-year veteran serving

with the U.S. Navy and U.S Air Force. It was while in the Air Force serving in the Vietnam War, Kingery began bowling in Germany.

Kingery began bowling in Jasper County men’s leagues in 1977. According to his son, Kingery volunteered to set up and coordinate the Jasper County youth bowling tournament for years.

Kate Malott/Daily News Newton High junior Reid Miller, middle, received a Jasper County Men’s Bowling Association scholarship Thursday. It was presented to Miller by JCBA president Dustin Kingery, left, and vice president David Anderson, right. Newton High senior Madison Humphrey is the other scholarship recipient but was unable to attend Thursday’s presentation.

“He became the youth bowling secretary and attended many state conventions and workshops to help promote youth bowling in the county,” Dustin Kingery said. “He was the youth coach at the former T&M Center Lanes for most of the 1990s.

“My father knew it all had to start with the youth in terms of growing the sport of bowling.

He worked with other bowlers to help recruit new bowlers throughout the years.”

Kingery held multiple league offices including president of the Sunday Night Mixed League and the Tuesday City League and was secretary of the Friday TenPin League.

“Dad loved the social aspect of the sport,” Dustin Kingery said.

Kingery’s career high game was a 299 — one pin from a perfect 300 — when he was 73. He had more than a dozen league championships, bowling in two to three leagues a year.

He competed in many state and county tournaments and seven national bowling tournaments.

Humphrey had to have the written permission of his par-

ents to start bowling in a men’s league. He said he was still in high school when he began league bowling.

“I started bowling a couple of Friday nights with my buddies during high school then got into league bowling,” Humphrey said. “I found out I wasn’t very good in other sports — baseball or basketball — I didn’t want to play football.”

Humphrey grew up in Des Moines, but moved to Newton in 1987.

“Once I got here in Newton, they were looking for new members for the Jasper County Men’s Association. They put me in as one of the directors and I’ve had every office since 1989,” Humphrey said. “At the time, someone serving as president of the association held the office for just a year. There was discussion about a year really wasn’t a long enough term. I was president for quite a few years.”

Humphrey, who is 63, said when he found out the association manager’s position was open, he moved into that position because it was a more active position. He said the manager is responsible for the league awards and the county tournament.

“We’re working hard to promote bowling in the county. We want the sport to have a comeback because it is a sport for all ages,” Humphrey said. “Being inducted into the Hall of Fame is an honor and it was a complete shock for me.”

Humphrey’s high series for his career was an 806. He has bowled three perfect 300 games in his career. Humphrey is still bowling and just bowled in the senior state tournament this past weekend.

Mustang boys soccer hands Raiders third straight loss

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MAXWELL — Prairie City-Monroe boys soccer coach Darrin Telfer thought at the beginning of the season that his Mustangs would be much more competitive than they were a season ago when they did not put a check mark in the win column.

Seven matches into the season, the Mustangs are starting to prove Telfer to be right.

PCM claimed its second win in three games Friday night when it traveled to Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and recorded a 3-1 win over the Raiders.

Chase Sanders scored his first two goals of the season and Zac Van Wardhuizen added his first tally as the Mustangs improved to 3-4 on the season.

PCM’s one loss in the last three matches came at home against Chariton on Thursday.

Chase Kuecker scored his first goal of the season, but the Mustangs lost 3-1 to the Chargers (4-3).

CMB suffered its third straight loss, falling to 2-6 on the year.

The Raiders’ busy week started with an 11-0 loss to Class 1A No. 4 Gladbrook-Reinbeck (51) on Tuesday and also included a 9-0 loss to 1A No. 5 Pella Christian (8-0) on Thursday.

The Mustangs host Grinnell at 7 p.m. Friday, while the Raiders host Marshalltown at 5:30 p.m. on May 2.

The Raiders host Chariton at 5:30 p.m. Monday.

COLO — Another solid round from Brynne Pritchard wasn’t enough to help the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls golf team to a win over Heart of Iowa Conference rival Roland-Story on Friday evening.

Pritchard shot a 49 and finished as the runner-up medalist, but the Raiders were 22 shots behind the Norse in the final standings.

“We once again had some inconsistency, especially around the greens,” CMB coach Zach Hasselbrink said. “I am very happy with how some of the newcomers are playing and hoping to see our top golfers see some really strong results heading into the conference tourney in a couple weeks.”

Roland-Story, which was led by medalist Jaeda Pittman’s 45, shot a 198. CMB carded a season-best 220.

Courtney Clapper and Payton Cory both shot a 56 for the Raiders, while Abbie Ericson fired a 59.

Edwards passes Kyle Busch on final lap to win at Richmond RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Carl Edwards had been grinding for 30 laps, doing everything he could to catch Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch in a two-way breakaway from the pack at Richmond International Raceway.

When he finally caught him on the last lap Sunday, and in the final turn, he had no time to think about what would be the prudent thing to do. Instead, Edwards focused on the reason they are racing: to win.

Edwards bumped his sometimes-volatile teammate off his racing line in the last turn and passed him to win his second consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, and the fourth in a row for the Gibbs racing stable.

NASCAR said it was the first lastlap pass for a victory in the history of the premier series at the track, a span of 120 races.

“I wish it was anybody but my teammate that we had to race like that with, but big picture to me is we’ve both got some wins, we’re in the Chase, and it’s

fun to have to race your teammate for the win,” Edwards said. “If the roles were reversed, I would have expected him to bump me the same way.”

Edwards, who had fallen nearly 1.5 seconds behind after a restart with 36 laps to go, gradually ran him down, catching him on the final lap. Then he slipped underneath Busch, a master blocker in late-race situations, and nudged him just enough to allow Edwards to get inside him for his second consecutive victory.

It also was the fourth in a row for the Gibbs stable, and fifth in nine races.

Busch seemed less than amused after being denied his third victory in the last four races.

“We just kind of gave it up a little bit there on the last lap, but I guess that’s racing and we move on,” he said. “...

We had a really great car. ... We were fast, maybe not as good as Carl was on the long runs, but we did everything right.”

Jimmie Johnson finished third, follow by Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kasey Kahne and pole-sitter Kevin Harvick.

Gibbs placed all four of its drivers

in the top seven, with Denny Hamlin sixth and Matt Kenseth seventh.

The race was the first scheduled for during the day at Richmond since 1997.

Hawkeye defense looks strong heading into 2016

Marissa VanWingen/Iowa Falls Times-Citizen Collins-Maxwell/Baxter freshman Lauren Ratliff, left, and junior Heather Jessen, right, run in the girls 3,000-meter run at South Hardin on Friday. Jessen and Ratliff placed second and third, respectively, in the event, and the Raiders were second overall as a team.

Spencer leads CMB girls to second at South Hardin

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ELDORA — Toni Spencer entered the 2016 track and field season as a returning state qualifier in the long jump.

An ankle injury slowed her down during the early portion of the season but after a career-best Spencer leap Friday, the Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter senior may be getting back on track.

Spencer’s winning jump Friday covered 16 feet, 1/2 inch at the South Hardin coed meet, and that gold medal helped the Raiders to a second-place finish in the girls team standings.

A night after defeating Madrid by 12 points, CMB finished nine points behind the Tigers on Friday thanks to another great night by sophomore sprinter Rylan Santi, who won the 100- and 200-meter dashes and finished second to Spencer in the long jump.

Madrid won the meet with 151 points. CMB was next at 142 followed by Iowa Falls-Alden’s 105 in third. All seven teams scored at least 63 points.

Spencer’s best leap in the long jump moves her into a tie for 14th among all Class 2A jumpers. Her night also included a runner-up finish to Santi in the 200 as she finished in 27.55 seconds. Spencer was third in the 100 in 13.48 seconds.

Senior Payge Jurgens took the silver medal in the shot put, marking her best throw at 35-6 1/2.

Sophomore Sailor Hinegardner gave the Raiders a 1-3 finish in the long jump. Her bronze-medal jump covered 15-4. Hinegardner was the runner-up in the 100-meter hurdles, too, crossing the finish line in 17.38 seconds.

CMB fared well in the distance races. Junior Heather Jessen and freshman Lauren Ratliff went 2-3 in the 3,000.

Jessen finished second in 12 minutes, 1.45 seconds, while Ratliff grabbed the bronze medal in 12:12.72.

The Raiders picked up double points in the 1,500, too.

Jessen was third in 5:31.62,

and freshman Brenna Thomson ended up fourth in 5:39.15.

Sophomore Ashlee Johnson placed fourth in the 800.

She finished in 2:42.70.

Relays were a success for CMB. The 4x100 team of Hinegardner, freshman Shasta Moody, senior Bridget Hurley and junior Megan Rittter was the runner-up in 54.36.

Hurley and Moody showed off their versatility in the 4x800 as those two paired with Johnson and Thomson to place third in 10:53.07.

Moody placed in the top three of a third event when she took the baton from Ritter in the sprint medley relay. She was joined by the final two legs, junior Mikayla Eslinger and freshman Piper Larson, to finish third in 2:05.88.

The shuttle relay team of sophomore Mary Schabilion, junior Sydney Ziesman, freshman Gracie Cheville and Hinegardner grabbed another bronze medal in 1:13.97.

The Raiders run at 5 p.m.

Friday at Ballard.

CMB boys finish seventh at South Hardin

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ELDORA — Two freshmen led the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter boys track and field team at the South Hardin co-ed meet on Friday.

Ian Thomson and Will Clapper both had fourthplace finishes, but the Raiders had their worst meet of the season, finishing seventh in an eight-team field.

Thomson was fourth in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 10 minutes, 53.03 seconds, while Clapper was fourth in the discus with a toss of 123 feet, 8 inches. CMB scored 44 points on the night.

Madrid, which will be with CMB at a state qualifier in May, won the meet with 159.5 points.

Denver was next with 132.5 and Iowa Falls-Alden scored 122 in third.

After Thomson and Clapper, the best finish came from the 4x200 relay team of sophomore Marcus Mitchell, juniors John Newton and Tuck-

Pagenaud overcomes contact in Alabama BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Simon Pagenaud again won after getting a favorable ruling from race officials.

This time, the runner-up didn’t protest the no-call.

Pagenaud led most of the way and overcame late contact with Graham Rahal to win the Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motor-

sports Park on Sunday for his second straight IndyCar win.

Race stewards didn’t impose a penalty.

Last week, Scott Dixon believed Pagenaud should have been penalized for crossing a blend line as he returned to the track following a pit stop.

IndyCar only issued a warning.

It’s the fourth time a Team Penske driver has won at the Alabama road course. Twotime winner Will Power was fourth and 2010 champion Helio Castroneves was seventh.

It’s also the track where Pagenaud made his IndyCar debut in 2011, jump-starting his career with a Top 10 finish.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa had hoped that the return of star defensive end Drew Ott would fill out its defense.

The Hawkeyes should be stout on that side of the ball anyway.

Iowa suffered its first major loss in 2016 when the NCAA denied Ott’s appeal for an extra year of eligibility because of a medical hardship. But the Hawkeyes should still have one of the best defenses in the Big Ten next fall, with seven starters back from a unit that allowed just 19 points a game last season.

Iowa, which went 12-2 and 8-0 in conference play last season, concluded spring practice with a scrimmage Saturday at Kinnick Stadium.

The Hawkeyes defense outpaced their offense for much of the workout — though the offense played without quarterback C.J. Beathard. He bruised his throwing shoulder in practice earlier this week but is expected to be back when Iowa resumes its workouts in June.

“You see some progress being made,” coach Kirk Ferentz said. “I think we saw some good growth with all four guys who worked in the two deep (at end) ... you see potential there.”

Ott’s departure will thrust redshirt freshman Matt Nelson into a much bigger role.

The Hawkeyes are hoping Nelson can start living up to his extremely high expectations by the fall.

The 6-foot-8, 275-pound Nelson, who grew up in nearby Cedar Rapids, turned down offers from the likes of Florida State, Stanford and Notre Dame to play for the Hawkeyes. Nelson, who also was used as a tight end in high school, came to Iowa as something of a project — and unheralded end Parker Hesse

moved ahead of him on the depth chart after Ott went down with knee and elbow injuries.

Iowa will count on Nelson and Hesse, along with emerging freshman tackle Anthony Nelson, to bookend veteran tackles Jaleel Johnson and Nathan Bazata next fall.

The Hawkeyes also will return one of the nation’s top players in cornerback Desmond King — the 2015 winner of the Thorpe Award as the country’s top defensive back.

King will team up with fellow senior Greg Mabin, who missed the spring with injuries. Mabin’s absence paved the way for freshman Michael Ojemudia to show what he could do this spring, and he apparently made quite the impression on his teammates and the coaching staff.

Ojemudia’s emergence is likely one of the reasons defensive back Maurice Fleming abruptly decided to transfer earlier this week.

The biggest surprise of the spring scrimmage was the move of freshman quarterback Ryan Boyle to wide receiver, where he debuted on Saturday.

Ferentz said the staff had only put Boyle at receiver a few days ago in an effort to find him playing time, with Tyler Wiegers locked in as Beathard’s backup.

Boyle’s move also might be temporary, since the Hawkeyes have long liked his potential behind center. But Boyle looked like a natural at the position in the final spring scrimmage — even catching a touchdown in the back of the end zone “He doesn’t have a ceiling with his athleticism. He can do just about anything he wants,” wide receiver Matt VandeBerg said.

Not every thought that crosses your mind deserves to be paid attention to. A good number of them aren’t even yours.

Many come from people close to you or from advertising or the general group mind. The void-of-course Sagittarius moon suggests there’s plenty to ignore there. Furthermore, don’t even bother judging yourself for thinking those thoughts!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (APRIL 25). An educational journey happens over the next six weeks. As a result you’ll let go of some childish notions and adopt an empowering mindset. By July your routine is completely different and your appearance may be, too. The

smiling you do in August attracts new friends. In November, a financial stream opens up.

Cancer and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 44, 38, 7 and 16 ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You have been searching tirelessly and faithfully for the signs that romance is real, love is magic and fate is holding a gift with your name on the tag.

You’ll have far more luck when you stop searching and just assume it’s so.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Is the work worthy of you? If it feels at times like a crushing chore then the answer is probably yes. This is the intensity

you were born for. You will leave this work fortified, refined and feeling privileged.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’ll be reminded that you are in a reciprocal relationship with your surroundings. As the results of your past efforts come around, you’ll make adjustments in hopes that future results will please and serve you better.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The seemingly inconsequential responsibilities are detrimental en masse. You’d be wise to get into “handle it” mode and work whatever small details are in front of you for a few hours before you tackle the larger problems.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In all interactions, look for the person behind the role; speak to the

human, not the uniform. This is necessary in dealing with yourself, too. You have needs beyond what your role can fulfill.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

There is quite a lot on the schedule today that might be considered depleting work.

Treat it like a meditation. Your attitude of mindfulness could turn these mundane tasks into your favorite moments of the day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

When your mind is set on achieving and the expectation isn’t met, you’re more likely to get frustrated and give up. Set your mind on learning instead.

You’ll stay open and flexible while stacking the odds in your favor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a certain type of jealousy -- a snap of irritation followed by a flash of intense dislike -- that tells you exactly what you need to change in yourself. Act on this. Follow the impulse. Crystallize your plan.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just because a thought shows up in your brain doesn’t mean you have to act on it in any way. Today’s mental intrusions are like Internet pop-up ads and can be removed just as easily. Click on the little X and move on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sure, you want the same happiness that everyone does, but the way that looks to you is different in specific ways.

To inspire yourself, delve into your particular view of heaven

on earth.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

By actively trying to stop negativity, you’re making the issue important. Make it unimportant instead; ignore it. It just might drift by you like a dark cloud, moving on to rain somewhere else.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The schedule is subject to change. The one who “messes it up” could also be considered the angel of the day, though perhaps much later, when you’re looking back at this day in the long-view.

Newton Trap Team claims second at home meet

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News “Pull!”

That is all that is said by an individual competitor standing at one of the five firing spots. Pull is said, a switch is pushed and a clay target flies in the air as the individual shooter picks up the target and shoots.

The Newton Trap Team hosted a triangular trap shoot with BGM and Baxter Saturday morning at the Jasper County Gun Club. BGM won the varsity competition with a 213 team total of targets hit.

Newton’s two varsity squads finishes second and third with scores of 186 and 183 out of a possible 250.

“BGM has always posted good scores and this weekend was no exception,” Newton coach Paul Klein said. “We have several team members who have the ability to post some good scores. They just need to stay focused and con-

Evan Cook was Newton’s top varsity male shooter, hitting 45 of 50 targets. Cook tied for second place. Newton’s only varsity female shooter,

Allison Winchell, placed third in her division.

Newton’s junior varsity squad finished second, breaking 158 of 250 targets. BGM was first with a 178.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News On the firing line are Newton Trap Team’s Allison Ulrey, left, and Brooke Gifford, right, as they compete in the junior varsity division of Saturday’s home meet at the Jasper County Gun Club.

Allison Ulrey claimed first place in the junior varsity female division with a 37. Adam Maharry posted Newton’s top male junior varsity score, 38, putting him in second by

three targets.

Newton competed in a skeet and 5 stand sporting clays shoot Friday at Pella.

Dawson Cobler had the top Newton score in skeet with a 38 and finished 12th. Cook shot a 42 on the sporting clays event to place ninth.

“Our scores this weekend were an improvement over our last competitions. Pella practices skeet and sporting clays a lot and that shows in their scores. We get most of our experience in skeet and sporting clays at competitions and I think our shooters do well considering that,” Klein said.

The team has a trap shoot at Big Springs Saturday.

It will shoot at Jasper County Gun Club one more time this season. On May 7 Ankeny is hosting a trap meet in which Newton will compete in at Jasper County Gun Club.

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News BROOKLYN — Lynnville-Sully’s girls were two-fortwo in track competitions last week.

They had won a championship at Montezuma Tuesday.

“The girls knew coming into this meet that the competition would be a little stron-

ger than Tuesday night,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Darin Arkema said. “We hadn’t seen a couple of teams since the first meet of the year. With only a week and a half before the conference meet, we talked about giving our best shot to see where we are.”

Lynnville-Sully won two events in the meet, but earned points in 14 events on its way to the team win.

Marissa Vos claimed the gold in the 3,000-meter run in 12 minutes, 37.22 seconds.

She and Makayla Rozendaal finished second and third in the 1,500 meters in 5:58.35 and 6:04, respectively.

Newton finished the game with 25 shots on goal. Cardinal head coach Abby Lamont said the team had scoring opportunities in both halves, but just couldn’t get the ball into the net.

Newton came out of halftime down 1-0 and went to work putting pressure on DCG goalkeeper Skylar Robertson. In the first two minutes, junior forward Kaytlin Ahn placed the ball in the air in front of the Fillies’ goal where junior forward Ryanne Rausch went up for a header. The head shot hit the post and bounced away.

The Cardinals were on the attack again. Junior midfielder Taylor Shipley made a crossing pass to Rausch, who scored the equalizer at the 32:16 mark.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Alex Hutchinson, in white, takes the ball away from a DCG player in Friday’s home game.

“We hit the post several times during the game. We were in sync better than any other game, but we need to work on our placement of the ball when shooting,” Lamont said.

Newton kept the Fillies on their heels most of the game. Cardinal junior goalkeeper Ashlee Freeze and the defense worked well to thwart scoring opportunities.

Freeze pulled down a shot on goal by the Fillies with 3:13 left in the game to keep it tied, 1-all.

The Cardinals weren’t able to clear the ball out of the scoring zone. The Fillies made them pay for it as Roshek put DCG in front, 2-1, on a goal with 2:47 remaining.

“Their goals came from an unlock bounce and miscommunication on our part,” Lamont said. “We were the better skilled team tonight even the other coach stopped me after the game and said they shouldn’t have won the game.”

Newton pushed up and battled for a tying goal in the final two minutes. Time ran out.

Freese was credited with 13 saves in goal for Newton. The Cardinals had six corner kicks in the game.
