Grannies return for second annual extravaganza

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News The Second Annual Granny Basketball Extravaganza between the Monroe-based Mustang Grannies and the Newton Globetrotters was a theatrical performance Friday night at Berg Middle School.

The event was sponsored by Riggs Printing and all funds went to the Newton YMCA and United Way of Jasper County. A pie auction took place at halftime as many pastries sold for $40 or more.

Jessica Lowe, executive director of the local

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Jake Fry said he’s looking forward to taking auto-body courses soon at Des Moines Area Community College. The 17-year-old had his right arm amputated and had no sight in his right eye for nearly his entire life.

Challenges conquered

United Way, said a total of more than $2,000 was raised, exceeding last year’s fundraising event.

The matchup started out slow as both teams struggled to get the ball through the hoop.

The rules of the game might have had something to do with that as they played by the rules of 1920s women’s basketball. The Globetrotters, consisting of area business men and women, community leaders and elected officials were not allowed to jump, run or use their dominant hands.

Jake Fry overcame many obstacles just to become a member of the work force

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News If smiles are contagious, Jake Fry would easily spread smiles all across a room.

If his determination and intelligence can help his work history grow, he’ll be able to show his smile nearly anywhere he wants in the future. Fry, 17, is one of the more determined people in the Jasper County work force.

Though he has yet to begin college or any kind of professional certificate program, he’s already persevered through challenges that would seem daunting

to most of us. His mother’s complicated pregnancy led to Jake having about half of his right arm amputated shortly after he was born.

He also has never had sight in his right eye, and yet he’s passed a high school equivalency exam and plans to save up money and attend college. Fry, who was recently hired by Arby’s restaurant, said proving he can physically perform at a job hasn’t been the challenge. The challegne is more on the psychological side — what do potential employers think when they see his arm and eye?

And — perhaps more important-

ly — what does he think is on employers’ minds?

“Physically, my situation has no effect on my ability to work,” Fry said. “But some employers assume I can’t do a job, or they’re afraid I’ll scare off customers.”

Fry was born while his family was living in Newton, and he lives in Newton now with his father, Houston. Jake is the oldest of four boys. He said when his mother, Jamie Duggan, was pregnant with him, he suffered from amniotic band syndrome, which cut off circulation in his right arm.

Stocks rise on tech earnings; Nasdaq adds to record NEW YORK (AP) — Stock indexes edged higher Friday, helped by gains in big technology companies including Google, Amazon and Microsoft.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose five points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,118 as of 12:05 p.m. Eastern. The Nasdaq composite added 38 points, or 0.8 percent, to 5,094 and the Dow Jones industrial average was up 38 points, or 0.1 percent, at 18,073.

Microsoft, Amazon and Google all rose sharply after the companies re-

ported earnings that came in above analysts’ expectations.

Amazon jumped $57.70, or 15 percent, to $447.68. While the company reported a quarterly loss, investors were encouraged the growth in some of Amazon’s other businesses, including Amazon’s cloud computing division.

Microsoft rose $3.88, or 9 percent, to $47.22. The software giant had results that beat expectations, and like Amazon, showed promising growth in its non-traditional businesses like

cloud computing.

Google rose $19.11, or 4 percent, to $566.19. The search and advertising company missed analysts’ expectations; the company had strong growth in mobile advertising.

A meeting between Greece and its creditors ended without a deal. A top official said “significant” progress is still needed. The lack of a deal keeps uncertainty over Greece, which is forecast to have enough money only for another few weeks.

Dodd’s Recycling celebrates 25 years

Submitted Photo Dodd’s Recylcing Co-owner Dave Dodd assists with daily pickup of recycling. Dodd’s Trash Hauling and Recycling recently celebrated its 25 year anniversary of recycling.

By Scott Thenhaus Newton Daily News In April 1990, Dave and Liz Dodd were watching an Earth Day special on TV that changed the family business forever.

Dodd’s Trash Hauling and Recycling celebrated its 25 year anniversary of recycling on April 20. As a business, the Dodds have been around for almost 50 years.

Its mission to keep Iowa beautiful is done by hauling trash, curbside recycling, commercial recycling, roll off work and yard waste.

Co-owners Dave and Liz Dodd are proud of how far they have come.

“I knew if the business was to go forward, we had to go to recycling. If we didn’t recycle, we wouldn’t have been in business.

No way,” Dave Dodd said.

Recycling was almost unheard of back then, which is why the Dodds were divided about what to do with the business. Dave knew if they did not start recycling, some other business would. It was an uphill climb for the whole family.

Founder of Dodd’s Trash Hauling and Recycling, Lloyd Dodd, thought recycling was a fad; he thought there was no way the family would make a profit from it. Once Dave Dodd showed his father the totals being saved from the landfill, Lloyd trusted his son to continue with recycling.

Because as soon as the landfill was full, the Dodds would have another expense to transport material to another town’s landfill.

However, the Dodds continue to preserve the landfill. Last year, the business recycled more than 1,500 tons, a total the Dodds look

Please recycle your old newspapers.

forward to every year.

“It’s unbelievable how many tons we take out of that landfill stream in a year’s time,” Dave Dodd said.

Over the 25 years, Dodd’s Trash Hauling and Recycling has reached several milestones. One achievement that sticks out to the Dodds was the transition to single stream recycling.

Before the Dodds adapted this idea, they had to manually separate different recycled items. Now, the Dodds are able to be more efficient and timely with their work since single stream recycling allows all recycled materials to be mixed together.

Accomplishments aside, the business would not be where it is today without its struggles.

There will probably always be people who will never recycle, but when the Dodds introduced the idea, many people thought it was suicide.

People refused to recycle, and several others had city council meetings discussing the issue.

There was even an occurrence of human feces in recycling bins to show people’s disapproval.

As a service industry, the Dodds understand the challenges to make people happy. However, they highly value customer satisfaction — a service which Dean Ward, of Newton, has noticed.

“They do a marvelous job.

They have been doing this a long time, and I think they do it really well. They even turn the recyclable bin upside down so it won’t blow away,” Ward said. “Liz has done extremely well in maintaining garbage pick-up in Newton. I have been extremely satisfied.

The Dodds have stuck through thick and thin because they know they are making a difference. As long as customers identify recyclables from trash, the Dodds do not care how many bins people put out — the ultimate goal for Dodd’s is to recycle and save the landfill.

“We appreciate the people who do think well of us and we appreciate our guys a lot. We couldn’t do any of this without our employees,” Liz Dodd said.

Iowa unemployment rate drops to 4.0 percent DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 4.0 percent in March from 4.1 percent in February. The state’s jobless rate was 4.4 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate remained at 5.5 percent in March.

“Nonfarm employment increased for the sixth-consecutive month in March, adding 3,300 jobs,” Iowa Workforce Development Director Beth Townsend said. “While the state’s nonfarm employment expanded to an allTownsend time high, the unemployment rate dropped to 4.0 percent, making it the lowest rate since May 2008.”

The number of unemployed Iowans decreased to 67,800 in March from 70,300 in February. The current estimate is 6,200 lower than the year ago level of 74,000.

The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,647,100 in March. This figure is 600 higher than February and 25,500 higher than one year ago.

Iowa’s nonfarm employment posted another gain this month, adding 3,300 jobs. Job growth was fueled primarily by service sectors, with private services gaining a combined 3,100 jobs. Public sectors added 500 jobs at the local level and remain up 3,600 jobs compared to one year ago.

The state itself has added 26,900 jobs since last March (+1.7 percent).

Chaz Allen (D-Newton) finally put the Globetrotters on the scoreboard with a layup for their only bucket of the first quarter.

The Newton Globetrotters suffered from many illegal jumping and hand violations early, allowing the Granny Mustangs to win time of possession and take a 14-4 lead into halftime.

They tried to make a run in the second half by attempting granny shots, which counted for three points, but the Globetrotters ran out of time and lost 32-15.

After he was born, a drug treatment to relieve the blood clot ended up damaging the retina to his right eye as a side effect, costing him his sight in that eye.

When he was about 10 years old, his non-functional right eye was removed, to avoid potential imbalanced growth and eyesight. He wears a prosthesis, or glass eye.

Fry said he had a number of issues in school, some of which stemmed from classmates making fun of him.

“It was also really tough to concentrate for seven hours,” Fry said regarding school.

Fry moved around frequently, living in southern Illinois, Iowa City and Joshua Tree, Calif. He said he tried out a couple of jobs within the past few years, including delivering papers for the Newton Daily News, but transportation issues kept getting in the way.

A few months away from working allowed Fry to prepare for, and pass, Iowa’s High School Equivalency Test, or HiSET, last fall. That allowed him to search for work without having to attend high school classes — and with a diploma in hand.

Fry mentioned Miranda Kulis and Mary Beth Lawson of the Goodwill Career Connection as two of the people that have helped him immensely with job placement and other employment aspects. Fry would like to attend the Des Moines Area Community College’s Auto Collision Career Academy and earn a certificate there.

Many challenges lie ahead for Fry. He said he’s hoping his Arby’s job will allow him to catch up on some bills. He said he must pay some fines before regaining his driver’s license. He hopes the support of his family will help him achieve some goals; his grandmother has been one of the people helping him with transportation.

Fry has a tremendous vocabulary. If he makes an impression with others the way he has with Arby’s manager Jan Nusbaum, things certainly could continue to pan out for him.

“Jake hasn’t been here that long, but he’s a very happy person,” Nusbaum said. “He does what he’s asked, and he’s very helpful.”

Scott Garvis, Newton High activities director, played on the offensive side while having to take selfies with his phone. Some other players were also disciplined for taking illegal half court shots.

In the final minutes, all players from both teams took the court and that’s when Allen decided to throw Brad Magg, owner of Goldie’s Ice Cream Shoppe, on his shoulders for a chance at an easy bucket. Despite the hard effort and creativity, the Mustang Grannies won easily.

Grannies’ team captain, Barb Dykstra, said the night was a lot of fun, but this was not the type of game the Granny Mustangs are used to.

“In the real game, we actually follow the rules,” Dykstra said laughing.

“Granny basketball started 10 years ago and originally it was for a fundraiser. They just had so much fun that the women decided to keep going.

This is such a fun group to play with.”

Partisan politics is failing our kids

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | April 27, 2015

By all accounts 11-year-old Heather is a beautiful little girl.

Not just because she has long curly hair, a sweet smile and stylish glasses, but because she’s tenacious and genuine — two qualities you recognize right away when you talk to her.

That’s why it was so disturbing to hear how fourth grade played out for her. When she moved to a new city so her mom would be closer to work, things didn’t go as planned for the new girl. She found two nice friends, she said — really nice. The only problem is both of the girls were quite tall and when she’d walk through the halls with them, Heather was immediately targeted as the short girl. And then the torment began.

By the end of the calendar year it was obvious the transition wasn’t working and her mom opted to move her to another school district. It was

better, Heather said, because she had a friend already at the school. But things would get worse for her, before they got better. At this new school she was physically attacked, in two separate instances that resulted in a chipped tooth and a sprained finger.

Heather would return to her original school the next year where the kids, she said, didn’t care that she’s short because they’re used to it.

I don’t have any account of how Heather’s parents sought help for their little girl who was bullied. I’m sure it was a year of many calls and emails to the school and endless, sleepless nights.

Over the years I’ve heard countless stories just like Heathers. That’s why I think it’s important that schools and parents have more tools to address bullying.

It was disheartening to

learn again, legislation that would do just that, failed to advance in the Iowa House last week and is most likely dead.

The law would create training for school employees and also establish a mentoring pilot program. It would also give school officials the ability to investigate incidents of bullying that occur off school grounds and on social media.

The Senate passed the legislation 43-7 in March, but House leaders put it on their unfinished business calendar, which allows leadership to avoid declaring legislation dead for a lack of progress.

Since that time more than a dozen amendments have been tacked on the gridlock has set in.

It’s becoming clear that our lawmakers aren’t making Iowa’s children a priority. Our statehouse is in a deadlock and

unable to provide on one of its most critical functions — passing a school funding bill.

This in itself shows how out of touch, perhaps ineffective, the legislature is this session.

I refuse to lower my expectations. Lawmakers should be working for our future, and that means — at the minimum — adequately funding education in Iowa. But I think we can do better than just that — we need to take steps to eliminate bullying within our schools and ensure our children feel safe at school.

This is the third year I’ve watched common-sense anti-bullying legislation fail before my eyes. Students who have suffered, like Heather, deserve better. All of our children do.

Letters to the Editor

City shouldn’t destroy Maytag Park’s historic buildings Joyce Moen Newton The solution to reducing vandalism in the historic Fred Maytag Park is not by destroying the valuable historic property in the park so vandals cannot damage it.

The primary cause of vandalism in the Maytag Park is due to the absence of on-site park supervision by the Park Department Administrative Superintendent. He refuses to use the office in Maytag Park and rents office space at the Arboretum instead. This situation, plus failure to discontinue 24 hour “easy entrance” to Maytag Park, places the park, its users, and its valuable contents at risk.

The monetary cost of not using the Maytag Park superintendent’s house and office is unfair to taxpayers and the lack of on-site park supervision is putting park users and the park at risk.

Kelley is a leader Peter Clay Des Moines State Rep. Dan Kelley is a leader for our entire state. Dan works hard on behalf of all Iowans, not just for those living in Jasper County. He works in a bi-partisan way to advance a healthy future for Iowa agriculture while also protecting our environment.

I reported a hole in the door of the south historic toilet a year ago and it was repaired.

There has been no visible damage to them since then. Enclosing them with chain link or wrought iron fencing is a possible solution to deter vandals.

The large planter was demolished, and the reusable children’s park equipment given away rather than placed in other Newton parks. The historic Maytag Park and the historic downtown square both need to be given good care and be economically beneficial. Destroying the honored features in a historic park is neither.

We need more leaders like Rep. Kelley in our state government.

It’s not smart to get too enthusiastic about any politician. I’ve been disappointed often. I believed B i l l Clinton when he said, “the era of big government is By John Stossel over.” I thought George W. Bush was a “small government guy.” And Barack Obama ...

Well, never mind.

If I want limited government and individual freedom, to whom do I turn?

Ted Cruz? I want to like him. He’s smart. He’s read economists Mises, Hayek, Rothbard, etc. He confronted Obama’s attorney general about constitutional limits on killing Americans with drones.

He fought hard against Obamacare.

But he also seems so eager to go to war. It also bothers me that he praises states’ independence but then criticizes President Obama for giving states a tiny bit of free rein to set drug policy.

I like Jeb Bush personally. I like Govs. Walker, Kasich and Perry. But they also seem eager to go to war in the Middle East and continue the destructive drug war in America.

So I plan to vote for Rand Paul.

Sen. Paul confuses people. Some Ron Paul fans say Rand is not as committed to liberty as his father. But some of their complaints seem ambiguous. Yes, Rand avoids alienating conservatives because he wants the Republican nomination. But has he violated his principles?

He doesn’t call for drug legalization but wants to decrease penalties, and he doesn’t rule out legalization.

He voted for sanctions on Iran, which bothers hardcore libertarians, but of the policies under consideration, sanctions were better than war.

And Rand wants the Senate to fulfill its constitutional role by approving any war. That’s libertari-

an.

He supported increases in defense spending, but at least he said they should be offset by reductions in other spending.

Paul disappoints me by opposing gay marriage and saying a “moral crisis allows people to think there would be some other sort of marriage.”

What? If anything, there are fewer “moral crises” in America: Crime, teen pregnancy, teen sexual activity and use of marijuana are all trending down.

I wish politicians would get off their “moral crisis” pedestal.

At least Rand did not ask the government to ban gay marriage. It’s a relief when a politician draws a line between what his religion tells him and what government ought to do.

Where Rand Paul shines is in the clarity of his plans to shrink government. When elected to the Senate, he said his big priorities were “the debt, the debt and the debt.”

Good. With the federal government $18 trillion in the hole, we can’t afford another big-government president.

Paul presented budget proposals (visible online) that left-wing critics like Vox say are “the most radical vision of limited government ever presented by a major American presidential candidate (apart, perhaps, from Paul’s father, Ron Paul).”

He wants to eliminate the Department of Education, Amtrak subsidies, the Department of Energy, foreign aid and other programs that do more harm than good. He would privatize Medicare and partially privatize Social Security.

Paul criticizes crony capitalist subsidies, and, unlike most politicians who suck up to Midwestern farmers by offering ethanol subsidies, he proposes merely eliminating regulations that inhibit ethanol production.

That’s libertarian.

Paul’s practicing politics, but it’s still pretty libertarian politics. In fact, he seems to lean over backward to stick to libertarian principles — even while trying to sound like a mainstream politician.

Brother with repeat offenses doesn’t merit sister’s support DEAR ABBY: My brother is older than I am and has been in and out of prison. He has stolen my things and pawned them.

I am married, and my husband and I are expecting our first child.

We live in a time zone several hours behind the one my family is in. I am now receiving phone calls at 4 o’clock in the morning from collection agencies on the hunt for my brother. He has been writing bad checks and leaving my phone number as a contact number.

I have managed to determine who his probation officer is, and I’m on the fence about whether I should tell her what he is up to. My dad is furious with me for even considering it since “brothers and sisters don’t do that to each other.”

Honestly, I am fed up with this “blood is thicker than water” mentality when it comes to my brother’s wrongdoings. He is now including my family in his schemes, and I won’t stand for it any longer. What should I do? — LITTLE SIS IN THE USA DEAR LITTLE SIS: There are no excuses for what your brother has done. If his father had given him a dose of tough love while he was a minor, he might have stayed on the straight and narrow instead of landing in the pokey.

Do not allow anyone to make you feel guilty for protecting yourself and your family. Blood isn’t thicker than water when abuse is involved, and your brother’s behavior qualifies. Contact his probation officer.

With luck, when the collection agency calls again, you will be able to give them your brother’s “cell” number.

DEAR ABBY: Last year I had bariatric surgery. Since the surgery I have lost a significant amount of

weight and still have a lot to go before I reach my goal weight. In the beginning, my husband was supportive and seemed proud of my weight loss. But he is no longer as physically interested in me now as he was when I was considerably larger.

I recently discovered several photos of larger women on our computer. Now I’m wondering if he’s looking for my replacement or just has a “thing” for bigger women. Should I say something to him about this apparent desire for larger women? — SLIMMING DOWN IN WASHINGTON DEAR SLIMMING DOWN: If you feel your weight loss may have negatively affected your marriage, you should absolutely talk with your husband about it. Frankly, HE should have discussed it with you before you made the decision.

Bariatric surgery is a major operation. It is life-changing and should not be taken lightly.

As I see it, you have taken a giant step in a positive direction healthwise, and I hope nothing will interfere with it. If you and your husband have trouble discussing this, please do it with the help of your doctor or a licensed marriage counselor.

Alex Olp/Daily News Volunteers carry logs and branches to a burn pile during Saturday morning’s service project at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge in Prairie City. Despite rainfall, more than 50 volunteers showed up to help clean up and restore the savanna.

Volunteers help restore savanna grasslands

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News

Volunteers worked through muddy grounds and rainfall Saturday morning at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge in Prairie City to help the restoration process of the savanna.

The annual service project was also to celebrate Earth Day and inform individuals on the importance of conservation.

Transporting sticks and logs from the grounds to larger burn piles were the main jobs assigned to volunteers.

The NSNWR does all of its tree cutting during the winter, leaving large branches and logs covering the grass. In order to make room for native wildlife to continue growing, the sticks must be removed from the grounds.

Megan Wandag, visitor services specialist at NSNWR, coordinated the event. People gathered at the center around 9 a.m. for an informational presentation on what the volunteers would be doing and why the process of cutting trees and removing

the branches is critical for the savanna.

“Having all of those things cut will allow the sunlight to reach the ground so the savanna can begin to grow and also so young oak and hickory trees can start to grow,” Wandag said. “Getting all of the cut material out of there will create more space for plants to grow and it will allow us to mow in that area.”

Mowing is required in the restoration process because the non-native plants grow quickly and can easily out-compete the native wildlife. Wandag said refuge staff mow in order to prevent the invasive plants from taking over.

Following the presentation, volunteers were then taken to the site by bus.

Many kids participated with their parents, along with area Boy Scout troops and a group from Des Moines Area Community College.

Andrew Spargo, a DMACC student, was a first-time volunteer at the NSNWR Earth Day service project.

“I’m an environmental science major so I should

probably do environmental work and help out,” Spargo said.

The volunteers worked until noon, when they were then transported back to the NSNWR for a free lunch provided by the Friends of Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge.

In two hours of work, nearly every loose branch and stick was cleared from the savanna grounds and piled onto the burn piles, according to Wandag.

“Considering the size of the group we had and the weather we were dealing with, I think we accomplished a lot and did really great,” Wandag said. “I think people were really excited to be here.

Nobody seemed to mind getting their feet wet and being out there in the cold weather.”

Approximately 50 volunteers attended Saturday morning to help with the restoration process.

The NSNWR’s next service project will be in the fall as volunteers will be seed collecting before the winter.

DES MOINES — Republican presidential hopefuls emphasized their staunch opposition to gay marriage and abortion rights Saturday before a crowd of social conservatives who hold significant sway in the state’s leadoff presidential caucuses.

Nine declared and prospective 2016 candidates appeared in a church in Waukee for a forum sponsored by the conservative Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition and attended by more than 1,000 people. The forum gave candidates an opportunity to show off their conservative bona fides, with speeches on religious freedom and social issues that repeatedly brought the crowd to its feet.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz noted that the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in four states’ same-sex marriage cases on Tuesday and said that between now and then, conservatives must “fall to our knees and pray.”

“We need leaders who will stand unapologetically in defense of marriage and life,” Cruz said in remarks that drew huge applause.

On abortion, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul encouraged conservatives to be more aggressive in their opposition, saying: “I’m tired of us retreating on this issue and I’m going to push back.” He also argued that most Americans were uncomfortable with late-term procedures.

Abortion has been a tricky issue for the sen-

ator. He has supported restrictions on the procedure in legislation yet said the issue is too divisive to expect changes in federal abortion law, a stance that raised earlier concerns among some religious conservatives about his commitment to their cause.

The gathering offered a platform for Republican contenders to cater to social conservatives with a message that did not always address the full range of their views on social issues. Both Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Paul, for example, have stopped short of calling for a federal ban on same-sex marriage sought by some religious conservatives. The senators have said that question should be left to the states.

Many candidates spoke about their personal faith beliefs. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal spoke about his conversion to Christianity and said he

would seek to protect religious freedom.

“The United States of America did not create religious liberty,” Jindal said. “Religious liberty created the United States of America.”

Also on the program were former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and businesswoman Carly Fiorina.

Larry & Diana Ambroson Tips To Get Ready For Surgery Research suggests that actively preparing for upcoming surgery may help speed recovery and reduce complications.

Build strength; increasing your fitness may help reduce hospital stays.

Stop smoking; it’s a risk factor for post-surgical complications, including pneumonia, infections and cardiovascular problems. If you have diabetes, getting your blood sugar under control can also help minimize complications. Manage sleep apnea; if you use a CPAP machine, take it with you to the hospital.

Eat a healthy diet and try to reduce stress with deep-breathing exercises or meditation.

Purses with Purpose nets $4K for Newton Booster Club

Local school to host ‘Reeling In Readers’ May 16 Newton Daily News Thomas Jefferson Elementary staff are working to get their students hooked on reading.

Staff are organizing the second annual “Reeling In Readers” which promotes reading and developing positive relationships with male role models for their firstgrade students. “Reeling in Readers will be from 1 to 3 p.m. May 16 at Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve.

“The purpose of the Reeling In Readers derby was to find a way to get males more involved in their children’s education,” said Jessica Cole, first-grade teacher at Thomas Jefferson. “Children that have fathers or other male role models

Abigail Pelzer/Daily News Newton’s Big Red accepted a check on behalf of the Newton Athletic Booster Club for more than $4,000 from Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small Friday. The donation is the result of proceeds from the Purses With Purpose event which was held at the Iowa Speedway’s Newton Club on Feb. 20. Pictured, from left, are booster club members Karla Gholson, Troy Gholson, Tanya Michener as Big Red, Jimmy Small, Mindi Walker and Kerry Walker.

involved in their schooling have a 42-percent better chance of excelling in school, according to research.”

Thomas Jefferson first graders who read 20 books with a male role model and return their book logs to school will receive two free tickets to the event. During the fishing tournament, children can fish and compete for prizes donated by Bass Pro Shops, Central Iowa Water Association, Clemon-Maki Insurance, Farver True Value and Jasper County Conservation Board.

“We have asked all first grade students at Thomas Jefferson to read and record at least 20 books with their father, uncle, grandfathers, or other male role

model,” Cole said. “Reeling in Readers really promotes interactive reading to our students. It also encourages fathers and other positive male role models to be more involved.”

While the event is closed to the public, the school is looking for volunteers and donations to support their initiative.

Those wishing to help can contact Cole by email at colej@newton.k12. ia.us.

“Last year was a great success, and we’re hoping to have more students participate this year,” Cole said. “We appreciate any support from the community in making sure children have the opportunity to become life-long readers and make memories with their family.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Deonne Harris, far left, and Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Bryce Kemp, far right, come down the stretch of hurdles in the 110-meter high hurdle final at the 2015 Drake Relays Friday morning. The two area competitors finished third (Harris) and fourth (Kemp) in their senior outing at Drake.

Harris, Kemp capture third, fourth at Drake Relays

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High junior Grace Coen (10) is at the back of pack to start the girls’ 800-meter race Friday at the 2015 Drake Relays. Coen, who is coming off a hip injury, qualified for all three distance races at Drake, but ran just two — the 800 and the 1,500 — placing 12th and 16th, respectively in those races.

DES MOINES — Proving once again they are two of the top competitors in Iowa high school boys’ high hurdles, Deonne Harris and Bryce Kemp had a great day on Drake University’s Blue Oval Friday.

Running in the 2015 Drake Relays, Harris of Newton High and Kemp of Collins-Maxwell/Baxter finished third and fourth in the boys’ 110-meter high hurdle final. Harris, who ran just slightly under Kemp’s time in the preliminaries, posted a third-place time of 14.72 seconds. Kemp went 14.83 in the final for fourth place.

“Bryce almost got me at the end. It’s always fun running with Bryce,” Harris said following the race as the two seniors stood sideby-side in the Drake Relays’ interview room.

“It was great to make the finals as a senior

after not making the finals last year or my sophomore year here at Drake,” Kemp said.

“Deonne and all the other runners are pushing me and bringing me along with them. It was a great race today.”

Harris and Kemp were in their third straight Drake Relays’ hurdle competition.

Neither one made the finals of the event as sophomores. A year ago, Harris advanced to the final and finished fourth while Kemp narrowly missed the final.

Friday’s final was the second time this season the two area runners have gone head-to-head.

Harris, who is undefeated in the high hurdles at invitational meets this season, beat Kemp at Newton’s Cardinal Invitational. They said they are looking forward to another head-to-head race on May 7 at Newton’s Cardinal Relays.

Connor Ham of Solon won the Drake Relays high hurdle race

in 14.31 seconds and Cole Phillips of Mount Pleasant was second in 14.52.

“I was worried going into my preliminary race because it wasn’t a fast heat. I had been drilling myself all week that today I was going to run my best,” Harris said. “I set goals and the biggest goal was to make the finals here.”

Harris won his preliminary heat, but his 14.83 was the fourth-fastest qualifying time going into the final right behind Kemp, who was second in his heat at 14.82.

“Running in the final at Drake is great. All these guys are fast. Connor, Cole and Bryce — I love being pushed by these guys,” Harris said.

“Now, it’s about quailing for the state meet.

I’ve had a better season so far than last year and I’m going to continue to work hard. I’m leading Class 4A right now.

DRAKE RELAYS | 3B

The Pressbox

Thoughts on 2015 Drake Relays, Iowa Speedway, Royals and Dad “Competing at Drake…” “Qualifying for Drake…” “Being here at Drake…”

That’s all athlete speak for Drake Relays. I’ve found this out in the two years I’ve covered area high school athletes at the Drake Relays. Current and former athletes seem to rarely tell me they are competing in the Drake Relays.

By Jocelyn For the second year Sheets in a row, I witnessed Newton Daily area high school athNews letes compete against Sports Editor the best-of-the-best of Iowa, no matter small school or large school. This year we had athletes from Newton, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Prairie City-Monroe at the 2015 Drake Relays.

Goals are set by the high school athletes and one of those goals is to qualify to compete at the Drake Relays. That’s a tough order to fill, but we’ve had a lot of young men and women work hard and have competed even in the two years I’ve been covering. There’s a history among our five area high schools at Drake.

As for the Drake Relays, it is much like the Kansas Relays in Lawrence.

You have the world class athletes, the university and college athletes and the high school athletes competing in one place over several days. Newton High senior Sarah Kalkhoff said it was a

great way to prepare for college track and field competition next year.

There’s a tremendous atmosphere surrounding the event.

As for the weather, that’s a different matter.

A year ago, which was my first Drake Relays, Thursday afternoon and evening’s competition was cool and damp. It had rained a lot before hand. Everyone had rain gear, but the three area high school athletes got through their competitions without rain. Friday turned out to be a great day to compete with plenty of sunshine.

This year it was the opposite.

Thursday afternoon was a perfect day for field events and running events at Drake’s Blue Oval. Then came Friday — cool, overcast, wind and rain off and on. Saturday’s final day of action of the 106th Drake Relays had to work around rain.

Here’s to all those area athletes who competed in the 2015 Drake Relays.

They all return to work with their teammates toward the state qualifying track meets on May 14. They all want to be back on the Blue Oval in May. Iowa Speedway is revving up and ramping up for the 2015 racing season. The Speedway held its seventh annual Sponsor Summit Thursday at the track’s media center. Opening weekend is May 16-17 with the NASCAR Xfinity Series and K&N Pro Series on The Fastest Short Track on the Planet.

Iowa Speedway President Jimmy

Small and others made presentations to a lot of the Speedway’s sponsor partners on Thursday. It was an inside look at the business of NASCAR and to Iowa Speedway. NASCAR is in its second year of ownership of the track at Newton with Small in charge.

The morning-long session was geared to businesses that make the local track go. The summit brought together the big and small companies. Small and others involved with the racing facility were out to attract sponsors from outside the racing community to help widen the audience for motorsports and create new fans.

“We own it that we are The Fastest Short Track on the Planet,” Small said. “We committed to making this not just a tremendous racing experience for fans, but a great entertainment experience from the concourse midway with all the fan activities, the season-ticket holder extra benefits and the post-race concerts. You all have product sponsorship involved in all those areas.”

There are 10 total events scheduled for the four racing weekends at Iowa Speedway in 2015. It’s coming up fast, so get ready racing season in Newton.

Man, my Kansas City Royals have gotten off to a great start in 2015, but … what are they doing with these fights? I want my team to stand up for itself. Royals’ players have been hit by pitches a Major League Baseball most this season, and we’re not even through a month of the season.

The Royals need to control their

emotions better. I don’t like seeing brawls every game, even though I believe — as a fan — the other guys started it. Take our punishments and move forward. They all need to get back to just playing baseball.

Let’s see Kansas City has had issues with the Oakland A’s, the Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Angels — all teams the Royals went through to get into the playoffs last year and to the World Series. How dare those upstart Royals, who hadn’t been relevant in the American League let alone MLB as whole in more than 20 years, challenge those teams. Just saying.

Today, my Dad is 88. One reason I haven’t been at a Drake Relays’ Saturday competition is it falls on a weekend we celebrate Dad’s birthday.

I made quick trip to Kansas over the weekend.

Dad and his four children were together Saturday. He wanted to go to the Kansas State Purple and White spring football game held at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. So, we went as a Wildcat Family. It was great for all of us to be together. We took loads of photos in our K-State gear.

The game wasn’t took impressive, as KSU head coach Bill Snyder said, there’s a lot the Wildcats have to work on before the fall. We all have faith in Snyder and he will have the Cats ready come late August.

Coach calls Hawks in at BGM track meet

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News BROOKLYN — Following just more than an hour of competition, Lynnville-Sully girls’ track head coach Darin Arkema made the call Friday night. Inclement weather did not stop the action at the BGM Girls’ Bear Classic Relays.

“I made the decision after the 4x800 relay to scratch the rest of our events and remove our team from competing. With the wet conditions,

cold temperatures, and wind, I felt it was not worth our team being out there, risking injury or illness, when we are at this point in our season,” Arkema said.

Lizzy Van Manen won the discus event with a throw of 96 feet, 1 inch. Shelby Davis placed third in the shot put at 31-9 and Jelissa Rozendaal was sixth at 27-7.25.

Davis claimed second in the high jump, clearing the bar at 4-6. McKinley Conover was fourth in the event at 4-4. In the long jump, Hailey

Scandridge placed third with a leap of 12-11 and Kristine Jaennette was fifth at 10-11.

The Hawks’ 4x800-meter relay team of Kasiah Ehresman, Cori Rice, Haley James and Marissa Vos was second in 11 minutes, 41.26 seconds.

Lynnville-Sully scored 45 points in six events, which was a good start, according to Arkema. BGM won the meet with 162 points and the Hawks landed at No. 5 in the seven-team field.

“We have more meets on the schedule and their will be bet-

ter days, and I didn’t think given the conditions that we were going to get better or benefit from staying and competing all night. I was proud of the girls who did compete,” Arkema said. “We’ll look forward to better conditions on Monday when we are at PCM.” Lynnville-Sully goes to Monroe Monday for a meet hosted by Prairie City-Monroe.

Newgarden claims first IndyCar win close to home BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Josef Newgarden’s wait is over. To his relief, so is the race.

The 24-year-old Tennessean held off a hardcharging Graham Rahal on Sunday in the Indy Grand Prix of Alabama for his first IndyCar Series victory.

Things started going right on the opening lap, in fact, when he moved all the way from fifth to second behind pole-sitter Helio Castroneves.

Newgarden led 46 of the 90 laps. He got his milestone win at Barber Motorsports Park a few hours from his hometown of Hendersonville, Tennessee, with most of the major drama coming behind him.

It was his first chance to celebrate a win since Indy Lights in 2011 Newgarden had posted second-place finishes in each of the past two years before

finally finishing up front for CFH Racing, a merger of Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing and Ed Carpenter Racing. He’d been off to a good start, including a seventh-place finish last weekend at Long Beach, before finally snaring a victory.

Rahal slipped past Scott Dixon on the final lap after several tries, giving the American drivers a 1-2 finish.

Dixon had his sixth podium finish in as many years in Alabama at No. 3. He picked up the 36th win of his career at Long Beach, moving into sole possession of fifth place in the series.

He still couldn’t quite break through in Alabama, saying it was about tire management not fuel.

The clean-cut Newgarden then had a reason to celebrate with a bit of bubbly, whether he wanted it or not.

MLB STANDINGS NASCAR photo Kurt Busch, driver of the #41 Haas Automation Chevrolet, celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway on Sunday in Richmond, Virginia.

Kurt Busch leads 291 laps in dominating Richmond victory RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Kurt Busch has spent time this year in a Delaware courtroom, then on NASCAR’s sidelines as he served a three-race suspension for an alleged domestic assault on a former girlfriend.

Now he has made a trip to Victory Lane, where Busch hoped his victory Sunday at Richmond International Raceway will help him close one of the messiest chapters of his volatile career.

“Standing on the truth the whole time, that gave me the feeling of when I do get back to the car, it’s going to be easy to focus, and I think I’ve shown that,” said Busch, who still has a no-contact order against him that was issued in February by a Delaware Family Court judge.

The judge ruled that Busch likely assaulted ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll in September.

The 2004 series champion dominated the rain-delayed NASCAR Sprint Cup race that was originally scheduled for Saturday night under the lights.

The Stewart-Haas Racing driver led a career-best 291 of the 400 laps on the 0.75-mile oval, outrunning teammate Kevin Harvick over the final dozen laps to end a 35-race winless streak.

Earlier in his return, he said he was trying too hard.

“I think I might have been driving too hard, too much of a chip on my shoulder, so to speak,” he said, adding that he realized last weekend that there is danger in driving along the line that separates effectively aggressive and overly aggressive.

One week later, he’s already secured a spot in NASCAR’s 10-race playoff.

“We’re winners in April. It feels good,” he said. “Plenty of time to do fun things to build the team up, get stronger, learn

from all these races coming up and continue to go forward.”

“Like (team owner) Gene Haas said: One win is great. I want four or five more.”

Harvick, meanwhile, finished in the top two for the seventh time in nine races, but said he had to rally after his car struggled on one set of tires and drifted back into the pack.

The race looked much like the Xfinity Series event Friday night in which Denny Hamlin led 248 of 250 laps and only lost the lead during green flag pits stops.

This time, there were actual green flag lead changes, but only two — when Busch passed Joey Logano after 94 laps to take the lead, and when Jamie McMurray passed Busch after 262 laps.

Busch regained the lead under caution and never relinquished it, beating Harvick to the finish by 0.754 seconds.

The victory was the 26th of Busch’s career and second at Richmond.

Jimmie Johnson rallied from a No. 36 starting spot to grab third. McMurray was fourth and pole-sitter Logano, who led the first 94 laps, was fifth. Rookie Chase Elliott, making his second start in NASCAR’s premier series, finished 16th.

McMurray’s pass came during a series of green flag stops, and when a caution came out on lap 270, only three cars were on the lead lap, including Busch, who had just pitted.

He stayed out, regained the lead and slowly pulled away from Justin Allgaier, who got up front because of the green flag stops.

“We just had a really good car after 40 or 50 laps,” McMurray said. “Really, for us to have a shot at winning, we had to have a long green-flag run at the end.”

Newton Trap Team takes on skeet, sporting clays events

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jamee Pierson/Daily News Trevor Annee shoots at clay targets during a recent home trap shoot for Newton Trap Team. The team competed at Knoxville and Waukee over the weekend. The Cardinals are at Marshalltown Monday and home Saturday.

Drake Relays Continued from Page 1B I want to stay up there and also qualify for state in the 400 low hurdles.”

As for Kemp, he said he was injured early in the season and has gained a little weight for football. Kemp has signed to play football for NCAA Division I Eastern Michigan University next year as a tight end.

“I’m just trying to get everything back together. Coach (Neil) Seales is a great coach and he is getting me back where I need to be,” Kemp said. “I’m going to keep working hard and keep getting better in the highs. There’s always room for improvement.

My goal is to get back to state and regain my state title.”

Kemp was the Class 2A state champion in the 110 hurdles as a sophomore. He was the state runner-up in 2014.

Newton High junior Grace Coen competed in the Drake Relays for the third straight year Friday and Saturday. She ran the 800 on Friday, finishing 12th in 2 minutes, 18.78 seconds, and took on the field in the 1,500 meters on Saturday, placing 16th in 4:52.

“The weather was fine.

I felt sort of sluggish in my warmups and really didn’t feel comfortable going into the races,” Coen said. “It is mostly about being out of shape coming back from my injury. I just don’t have much endurance or stamina right now.”

Coen said following Newton’s indoor track season, she had pain in her hip which sidelined her early in the outdoor season. She said being out three weeks and only having two weeks to prepare for Drake did not set her up for much of success this season.

“You are going up against

a tough field of runners at Drake. I’m just not back yet where I need to be,” Coen said. “I felt better about my 1,500 race than my 800. Now, I just need to build my stamina up again.”

Newton senior Sarah Kalkhoff, who took sixth in the girls’ discus on Thursday, competed in the girls’ shot put Friday and placed 24th with a throw of 34 feet.

“I threw really bad today.

Today just was not my day,” Kalkhoff said. “I went to the spin technique because last year I wasn’t getting my hips into the throws with the glides. I’ve had a lot of success with it this year, but the spin in the shot is unpredictable. Sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn’t.”

Kalkhoff admitted to being nervous competing in her first Drake Relays’ shot put event.

She said it was a good experience for her to get ready for college track next year at Minnesota State in Mankato, Minn.

“I’ll shake off today’s results and keep throwing,” Kalkhoff said.

Newton’s 4x100-meter relay team and Prairie City-Monroe’s 4x100 foursome competed in the high school girls’ preliminaries Friday afternoon. Neither team advance to the finals, but each posted a season’s-best timing.

Newton’s juniors Sydney Jenkins, Alex Hutchinson and Leela Spencer — all running in their second Drake Relays — and freshman Alexis Stout finished 43rd in a field of 80 teams. Their combined time was 51.90 seconds.

“I really enjoy being here,” Jenkins said. “It’s exciting. It’s fun just getting out of school all day and taking in the atmosphere. You get nervous the closer you get to the race, but that’s natural I think.”

“We ran our season’s best,” Hutchinson said. “I felt really

good. I thought we had amazing handoffs and that’s key to any spring relay race.”

“The competition is a lot harder,” Spencer said. “We’re not just running against Class 4A athletes, but it’s a fun experience.”

“It’s amazing and more than I expected,” Stout said.

“It was a lot of fun running with these girls.”

PCM’s quartet finished 45th in 51.94 seconds. Juniors Emily Hugen and Ashley Van Gorp were joined by senior Mackenzie Clarke and sophomore Jayci Vos. “We wanted to have smooth

handouts and keep dropping time and we did that,” Van Gorp said.

“The race went very smooth. The handoffs are really starting to be quicker and more efficient.”

“Being at Drake Relays is a huge honor and it’s a memorable thing to be a part of,” Vos said. “Not everyone gets to experience so we just let it soak in. I was very proud of my teammates and how we ended the day. The sky is the limit for us.”

Royals’ outfielder Lorenzo Cain thinks bad blood with White Sox is over CHICAGO (AP) — KansasCity outfielder Lorenzo Cain is ready to move on after the Royals brawled with the Chicago White Sox in the series opener on Thursday night.

Cain was suspended for two games for his part in the melee and is appealing the punishment. KansasCity pitchers Yordano Ventura (seven games), Edinson Volquez (five games) and Kelvin Herrera (two games) also are appealing their suspensions by Major League Base-

ball.

Cain said Sunday he thinks the tension with the White Sox is over.

“I think we got all our emotions out that night and I think it’s over and done with,” Cain said before the resumption of a suspended game against Chicago. “I think we’re going to try to go out here and go back to just playing baseball and leave it at that.”

Herrera also is awaiting an appeal on a five-game suspension for throwing a pitch behind Oakland third

baseman Brett Lawrie. Ventura was fined for hitting Lawrie with a 99 mph fastball during the same series against the Athletics.

The brawl with the White Sox began when Ventura grabbed a seventh-inning grounder from Chicago outfielder Adam Eaton and the two exchanged words before Eaton was thrown out at first. Eaton had to be restrained from Ventura, who was ejected from his second straight start. Players from both dugouts and

bullpens then ran onto the field for a fight that lasted several minutes.

“It’s definitely intense. It was definitely a hectic moment on the field,” Cain said. “At the same time we’re teammates in here, we backed each other. That’s what we do.”

Major League Baseball also suspended White Sox pitchers Chris Sale and Jeff Samardzija for five games apiece, and catcher Tyler Flowers joined the others in getting an undisclosed fine.

Astrograph

The day is ruled by the Leo moon, a playful, extravagant and exaggerated showman.

People can tolerate more drama than usual and won’t mind a bit of posturing, bragging and the like -- in fact, they might prefer the excitement.

The evening has a different tone, as the Virgo moon takes over to bring everyone back to reality.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 27). You’ll make tall demands of yourself this year, but it’s only because you know down deep that you can handle it. May brings a personal breakthrough. Family additions come in June. Brilliant things

will happen when you shoot from the hip in July, though in August you need to find a mentor and follow a plan. Aquarius and Virgo people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 33, 29, 46, 13 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You made your own cage, and now you feel trapped inside of it. You don’t have to be, though -- you have the keys!

All you need is the will to use them. A Sagittarius is your lucky charm.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll get one chance to deliver the very important message in your heart. Practice

a few times so you’ll come across with confidence, clarity and credibility.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Maybe it’s out of compassion, or maybe it’s because they don’t like to focus on the negative, but true winners don’t point out where other people mess up. It’s why you’ll overlook someone’s mistakes today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Loved ones give you all the love, affection and support they can. Just know that some of them are limited. Singles will get set up with other singles, and Cupid (the Internet, a friend, your mother) is likely to get it right.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are many interesting people to meet today, and you’ll do well to be the one who initiates the conversation. By being the chooser instead of the chosen you’re free to pursue the one you’re most interested in knowing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’re not sure that you’ve ever known true bliss, but maybe that’s because the definition is unclear to you. Bliss is a smile. It’s warmth and contentment, soft and open. If you let yourself, you’ll experience it today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You will discover a distinctive beauty in someone and see this person in a way no one else

seems to. Experiencing another person’s uniqueness like this is personal, special and vividly felt.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

In food, you need nutrition; in service, you require brevity; in friendships, you want levity.

You have a set of rules for everything, and it’s your criteria that keep you on track.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Maybe the thing that broke the camel’s back wasn’t a straw at all, but a dollar.

Lending or spending even one more than you expected to will cause you to make a change.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re actively engaged in an interaction, though part of

your mind hangs back, observing what is real about the situation (and what isn’t). After the fact, call a meeting between you and your observant self.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Everyone you interact with will have something to contribute. Even people you don’t respect and would never want to be like can inspire, improve and grow you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Your idealism will kick in to guide you away from fear and toward the sincere belief that healing can happen and any situation can be transformed by the power of love.
