NHS block scheduling advantages outlined

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Elaine Lundstrom, a social worker with hospice of Johnston, outlined the program at a Mercy Hospice volunteer meeting at Skiff as it rolls out the program.

“It is a program that was developed about five years ago when these two organizations realized military service is really a big part of this and so often it has just been set aside in this society,” Lundstrom said.

Through We Honor Veterans, Mercy Hospice honors those veterans in the ending stages of life along with helping them work through any thoughts or experiences they want to share about their military

Newton High School Principal Bill Peters didn’t use his time at the podium Monday night to defend or promote the modified block scheduling system used at his school. Instead, he cut right to the details about the benefits and challenges of it.

During his 25-minute talk and questions he took from the Newton Community School District Board of Education as part of a learning workshop, Peters explained while there are a few constraints to block scheduling, it’s a largely a flexible system.

“We call it modified blocks, because each block is modified to meet the needs of the learner,” Peters said. “Not only do we try to find the best way to package different subjects in terms of classroom time, we also try to adjust to each year’s students. That doesn’t mean we can custom-tailor every course, but it does give us some flexibility.”

Since July 2015, the board has held learning leadership workshops in order to get more information about specific topics prior to one of its two meetings each month.

Peters said some courses that feature labs, such as biology or writing classes, lend themselves to the 88-minute double block, while others that are more lecture-based or intensive in other ways are better taught in 44-minute single blocks.

“Take band and choir, for example,” Peters said. “Band students tell me 44 minutes is plenty; choirs tell me you can only sing for so long.”

Peters said block scheduling has been in place at NHS, in some form, since before he took over as principal for the 2004-05 school year. However, he said dual enrollment college/high school classes were minimal at that time, but there are 76 college credit hours of courses for NHS students to choose from.

Two major benefits to block scheduling, Peters said, are the ability to set up STEM

urrounded by family and friends, 73-year-old Merlin Hamilton leaned over to better hear the words being spoken to honor his military service.

Hamilton, who served in the Army during the Vietnam War, is now being cared for by Mercy Hospice at his home in Newton, and as a part of that service, he took part in the first We Honor Veterans ceremony on Monday.

“We would like to take this time to honor you for your service to our

great nation. We recognize the sacrifices and hardships your endured to protect our freedoms,” hospice nurse Kendra Beckjorden said during the ceremony.

Sitting in his wheelchair on the back patio, Hamilton and his wife Cheryl joked she always calls him General Merlin as she pinned the veterans service pin onto his lapel. Although he has had struggles through his life following his time in the military, Hamilton thanked all those who came to recognize his service and what it had cost him.

Newton man Elderly Nutrition receives funding to serve probation for child neglect

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News A 28-year-old Newton man received a suspended 10 year prison sentence and three years of probation for his role in a child neglect case.

Cody A. SandSanders ers was c h arge d with child endangerment last year after police found a 1-year-old boy in his care tested positive for methamphetamine.

Sanders

pleaded guilty to neglect of a dependent person and was sentenced Monday at the Jasper County Courthouse.

The mother of the child, 23-year-old Vanessa L. Trotter, received a deferred judgment and two years of probation for the same charge earlier this month.

The pair was charged by the Newton Police Department in April 2015 when a hair sample from the boy revealed the drug in his system.

Sanders is ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and all court costs.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News A small but vocal group gathered to further conversations about a community wide survey at the Racial Justice Working Group of Jasper County meeting on Tuesday at Congregational United Church of Christ.

Survey makes progress at racial justice meeting

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News Conversation continued on how to administer a public survey at the Racial Justice Working Group of Jasper County meeting on Tuesday. The group brainstormed potential questions and topics that could appear in the survey.

“What are the issues that we feel we should give the community the opportunity to speak to? We all have our perceptions,” group leader Jessica Petersen said.

Areas of concern the group discussed to potentially appear on the survey include the perception of fear in the community, housing disparities, issues with law enforcement, demographics within the city, what is happening in the schools, family structure, mental health, gender, criminal background and low income or

poverty levels.

To help structure the questions, the group plans to do additional research of surveys that have already taken place along with research of what the actual statistics are in the community.

“If we can get the facts and the actual data, you can make them aware of the discrepancies of perceptions,” Petersen said.

Also, partnering with another organization to administer the survey and help sponsor the survey was discussed. The group recognized if a survey comes from a group called the Racial Justice Working Group, some citizens may be hesitant to participate. If the survey comes from a recognizable, established organization, it may be better accepted.

The details of the survey including complexity, length and how to distribute it were also discussed.

“We need to give people some-

thing they can get done in five to 10 minutes, or they won’t do it,” Peterson said.

To follow up the survey, the group plans to hold a town hall meeting to reveal what it learned from the survey, to answer questions brought up in the survey and give a forum for community members to speak about their experiences in town. Petersen said she is in contact with DMACC about using auditorium and a date will come following work completed on the survey.

To conclude the meeting, a date was discussed for a small group meeting to hammer out questions for the survey. The next Racial Justice Working Group meeting is planned for 6 p.m. May 24 at the Congregational United Church of Christ in Newton.

“If we know about military service and that there was some trauma there, our goal as professionals is to help that person if they are willing and able to work through some of that,” Lundstrom said.

As a provider, Lundstrom said she initiates contact about any patient’s military service and experiences. If the patient is willing to speak about their service and wishes to participate in the We

Honor Veterans ceremony she makes the arrangements.

The ceremony can take place in the veteran’s home or at the facility where they are residing. It begins with the hospice workers introducing themselves and giving a background on the program. The Pledge of Allegiance is then recited and, if appropriate, the Soldier’s Psalm is read.

Following the Psalm reading, the pinning ceremony takes place and a veterans poem is read. A blanket made by the Iowa National Guard Auxiliary is presented to the veteran along with a certificate of appreciation and “God Bless America” is sung to conclude the ceremony.

“It becomes a trigger for stories that are told. I can picture time after time they

say, bring out my uniform, I want it displayed on the mantle, bring this article that told about the time because there may be grandchildren or great-grandchildren present who hadn’t heard the story,” Lundstrom said.

When the program started in Johnston, those coordinating it only planned to serve veterans if they were awake, alert and able to participate in the ceremony to help them process their end of life. Not long into the program, they learned they also needed to serve the families who may have loved ones that are non-responsive or very close to the end of their life.

“We certainly believe that people are hearing until the moment they die. When we are having a ceremony we

“Work experience is important, but so is getting a start in college or a trade school,” Peters said. “Block scheduling not only puts some kids through a freshman (college) year’s worth of dual-enrollment courses, it keeps them here on campus, too.”

Board Vice President Travis Padget asked how lunch fits into the eight-block schedule at NHS. “I don’t really know; it just does,” Peters said. “It’s like a black hole in space; it’s just there. It just works out every year.”

Peters said there are some courses that are dropped, and simply cannot be worked into the modified blocks due to lack of interest. However,

know at some level they are taking in what is happening around them,” Lundstrom said. “We may not see the impact that it has on the one who is dying but we have to believe it is there. The impact for the family was incredible because they had a chance to say what they needed to say.”

Looking to the future, Lundstrom plans to begin incorporating a veteran-to-veteran program in the next year. The new aspect of the program would bring veterans from the community in to speak with veterans in hospice.

“Veterans are able to listen in a way that as professionals we may be trained to do, but there is a different sense of connection there and there may be the opportunity for

resolution,” Lundstrom said.

With one ceremony already completed, the program is off to a strong start at Skiff and with the help of nursing professionals and dedicated volunteers it has a bright future.

“Thank you all so much for coming, I appreciate it,” Hamilton said as the ceremony came to a close.

He then spent the next several minutes talking about his experiences in the military and how it impacted the rest of his life. Surrounded my family and friends, the ceremony celebrated the sacrifice of a veteran whose journey began many miles ago.

he said if there are a handful of students who really want to take a specialty class or advanced-placement section for credit and a teacher that is willing to take it on, students and teachers can arrange to meet before or after school on a regular basis to meet a curriculum without having to devote a schoolday hour to it.

Prep time for teachers, especially those teaching several different courses in a particular quarter, is also taken into account with block scheduling. Peters smiled as he described the ambition and organizational skills of NHS teachers who don’t technically have a prep hour in their day.

“We have a few teachers who teach eight classes in a day,” Peters said. “I think they’re insane.”

The next regular board meeting is set for May 9.

Funding for Monarch Butterfly habitat available to Iowa farmers Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Iowa agricultural producers who want to increase habitat for Monarch butterflies on their land now have opportunities to receive funding for conservation practices that attract Monarchs.

The Monarch butterfly has

declined precipitously in recent decades and is currently undergoing a status review for potential federal listing.

Iowa is one of nine states along the Monarch’s core migration route and primary breeding range. As part of the Monarch Butterfly Habitat Development Project, the effort is focusing on plantings of milk-

weed and Monarch nectaring forbs in wetlands and other marginal lands. This project is administered through USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service.

A sampling of eligible conservation practices through the project includes: brush management, conservation cover, field borders and pre-

scribed burning. The application deadline for the Monarch Butterfly Habitat Development Project is May 20. Visit your local NRCS office to ask about developing a plan to address Monarch habitat or other resource concerns and financial assistance opportunities.

Iowa farmers will also have

an opportunity to receive funding for conservation practices that improve Monarch habitat through a Regional Conservation Partnership Program project. Funding information for this project will be available later this year.

For more information, visit the Iowa NRCS website at www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov.

Opinion Virtuosos give us reason to celebrate

J

oe Satriani, Janis Joplin and Prince are musicians who give us a reason to celebrate.

One of the dictionary definitions of a virtuoso is a person who excels in musical technique or execution. I refer to all three in the present tense because their work lingers infinitely, even if it was produced long ago.

My recent exposure — in different ways — to some of their talents has made me appreciate further multi-talented fine arts performers.

Seeing “A Night With Janis Joplin” at Des Moines’ Hoyt Sherman Place, along with a recent trip to see Joe Satriani in concert and chat with Twin Cities-area residents about encounters with Prince or his music helped my girlfriend, Jacqui, and I realize why some individuals receive such adulation.

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | April 27, 2016

Babbling Brooks Jason W. Brooks This unique set of three experiences allowed us to follow the path of someone who died just before we were born (the Joplin musical is a story told autobiographically by a talented singer/storyteller), a living legend in Satriani and, even though we never saw him live, being in the Twin Cities the week before Prince passed away was surreal.

Throw in a recent viewing of the play “Sister Act” at the Des Moines Playhouse, and we’ve seen quite a few virtuosos recently. We haven’t had a chance to catch any Newton Community Theatre productions yet, but I’m sure there have been many talented virtuosos on that stage as well, even if more of a part-time basis.

Joplin reminds us of a historical time when a lot of our national innocence was lost. When rock stars were held to almost no standards at all and military

veterans were treated poorly at best. It’s both fascinating and grueling to hear and see her story played out on stage in song and dramatic interpretation, knowing nations are repeating many of the same mistakes made in the era when Joplin’s music was taking off.

As perhaps one of the best-remembered members of “The 27 Club” to die at that age in either 1970 or 1971, along with Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison, Joplin’s powerful, soulful music legacy is portrayed passionately by another virtuoso, Mary Bridget Davies, who went on to win a 2014 Tony Award in “A Night With Janis Joplin.”

Davies took over the role in the Joplin musical in 2012 — the year after singer Amy Winehouse, another 27-year-old, died of alcohol poisoning. Maybe those with the power to make changes are either ignorant or blind to history lessons.

Alexandra St. James-Gray is similar to Davies in playing the role made famous by Whoopi Goldberg in “Sister Act,” but she is not nationally known.

It will be great to see her vocal power and range and stage presence develop

through the years.

Compared to the raw force of the singer-actresses we saw in Des Moines-area plays, Satriani brings a completely different type of presence. As an almost completely all-instrumental guitarist (very few of his pieces have any vocals), Satriani is not as multi-talented in the traditional sorts of ways as most famous American performance artists.

Satriani seems to be almost wandering anew every time he plays his hits such as his signature piece, “Always With You, Always With Me.” We spoke with some well-educated music lovers in the Twin Cities — some who love and respect their local pride and joy, Prince, who was in the news that weekend after having been rushed to the hospital.

We had been back in Iowa for several days when we heard the news about Prince’s death. It was unique to see video of Minnesotans filling the streets to celebrate a virtuoso’s life on the same streets where we had been just days prior.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

Leftist morality never stops shifting The rules of bigotry according to the left represent a constantly shifting kaleidoscope of nonsense. Recently we learned that if you don’t want your small daughter peeing next to a giant man who thinks he is a woman, you are a bigot; if you are a woman who is uncomfortable with a man who thinks he is a woman whipping out his male genitalia to urinate in front of you, you are a bigot; if you are a religious person who doesn’t want to participate in an activity you consider sinful, you are a bigot.

Conversely, if you are a man who thinks he is a woman and you want to force a small girl to pee next to you, you are a freedom fighter; if you are a large man who thinks he is a woman and you want to be one of the girls, right down to hulking into a Macy’s ladies room, you are a hero; if you are a gay man and you want to force a religious person to serve you, you are a hero.

If all of this seems odd, that’s because it is.

It’s obviously logically incoherent, to begin with.

The left insists that a man who believes he is a woman must be treated as one, even if his biology dictates that he is a male. However, if a man believes he is a man, he cannot discuss vital issues of national import (like abortion) since he lacks the vital prerequisite: a womb. Men cannot understand women, the logic seems to run, unless they are women. But men cannot be women, of course, except in the fevered imaginations of people on the left. Even the left doesn’t believe that: Leftists simultaneously want to enshrine unchangeable sexual differences (although, according to them, men and women are inherently and unchangingly different with regard to their abortion perspectives) and deny that these differences exist in the first place. (Caitlyn Jenner’s twig and berries are irrelevant to the issue of gender, they say).

“This is nonsense,” you say.

“Shut up,” they say.

In the end, leftists don’t have to be coherent — they just have to control the government gun.

The baseline definition of freedom in Western Civilization has been this: You do not get to force me to serve you, and you do not get to force me to think the way you want me to think. As follows, you cannot force me to think that you are a woman if you are a biological man. You cannot force me to spend my taxpayer dollars to pretend along with your mental illness. You cannot force me to run my business as you see fit because I have no affirmative duty to you.

But the left doesn’t believe in freedom — except the freedom to destroy the right. Thus, leftists believe that Bruce Springsteen has an absolute right to cancel concerts in North Carolina, but that bakers in North Carolina can’t stop baking wedding cakes for same-sex couples. The left believes that the government must compel elevated pay rates for women, but government should compel men to be treated as women based on their subjective feelings on the subject.

The kaleidoscope of leftist morality never stops shifting. But in the end, only one moral counts: the left’s ultimate insistence on use of government force to compel obedience to their kaleidoscopic morality.

position, the Equal Pay for Men Act would pass without discussion! I also want to thank Rep. Kelley for his lonely votes against gun silencers and loaded weapons on ATVs. He voted for me on both issues.

I am baffled at the amount of time, energy and press these issues get when we have such urgent needs regarding funding for education (how will a man-

date regarding reading skills for third graders help if the program never goes into effect because it isn’t funded?) and water quality needs as well as other issues that affect every Iowan. Rep. Kelley is doing a great job of representing important values and not “going with the crowd” when the crowd is headed in the wrong direction.

vices bill for the next budget that would have removed state funding for Planned Parenthood. Fortunately, the Democrat-controlled Senate blocked that effort.

The removal of state money would make $3 million in federal funding unavailable. Those funds provide most of the family planning services under Medicaid, the federal program which provides care to more than half a million low income and disabled Iowans. Studies have shown repeatedly that funds spent on family planning save taxpayers money in the long run.

Planned Parenthood has long been a place to turn where women could receive care

whether or not they have health insurance. To be able to access health care and birth control at low cost is a right that every Iowa woman is entitled. The constant call by Republicans to “defund Planned Parenthood” means that thousands of women who can’t afford private physicians would have nowhere to get needed care.

I want all women to have access to quality affordable health care. As a candidate for the Iowa House of Representatives, I support the continued funding of Planned Parenthood so that this organization may continue to provide vital health services to women and families in Iowa.

Newton PEO chapters host joint meeting The four Newton P.E.O. chapters met April 19, for the annual dinner together. The dinner meeting was held at McCann Center and included the chapters of AO, HS, LC and ME. Mary Brooks the head judge of the Scripps Spelling Bee was the guest speaker. For one week every year Mary Brooks really is the Queen of the Bee. After graduating from high school her uncle suggested she go to Washington, D.C. to spend a week helping at the Bee. From 1972 until the present she has missed only one year of performing her duties at the Bee. She served as co-director while working as a full time teacher in the Des Moines School system. Later, she worked her way on to the panel of judges. She is now the head judge sitting near Tom Bergeron, a former champion, who pronounces the Bee words.

Her main job as a judge is to be a good listener. She is also in charge of the dreaded bell, which she rings when a contestant misspells their word. Every student is given the chance to have words repeated and to ask questions.

The National Spelling Bee represent a wide cross section of talented individuals. They come from all walks of life socially, economically and culturally. It is a reflection of our country that they are educated in private, public and home school environments.

A team works throughout the year to choose the words to be

One of the main purposes of the Bee is to increase the students vocabularies.

Her involvement with the Bee has landed her a kiosk at the Iowa Hall of Pride in Des Moines.

Girlfriend’s business contact arouses man’s suspicion DEAR ABBY: I’m a divorced man dating a divorcee, “Sylvie,” who is eight years younger. I recently learned she had an affair before we met, and it is affecting the way I see her.

The man she had the affair with is still married. I had an affair while I was married, and although I understand how affairs can happen, I don’t condone them. It took me several years to forgive myself for the hurt my actions caused.

Sylvie tells me things are over with this man, yet she continues to do business with him. In my mind she ought to find alternative vendors to deal with. We have spoken about it, and she insists no one else in our area carries or represents the product line he offers.

I feel if she truly is over him, then all communication, both personal and professional, should cease. It’s not that I don’t trust Sylvie, but I believe things might reignite between them in a weak moment. Am I being ridiculous?

— DAZED IN WISCONSIN DEAR DAZED: You’re not being ridiculous, but the truth is you don’t completely trust Sylvie when she says the affair is history. For her to sacrifice a necessary business contact because you are insecure would be a mistake. There would be financial consequences, and she has no guarantee that her relationship with you will progress beyond dating.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of three years slapped me across the face a few nights ago. He has never done that before, and he promised he’d never do it again. After he hit me he immediately apologized, but said I was partly at fault because I had taunted and belittled him. I love him very much and know he

would never want to hurt me.

We’re both in our 20s and have expressed our devout love for each other. My boyfriend is the sweetest guy and truly makes me a happier person, but I don’t know if I can fully trust and be in love with him after he hit me. I feel partly responsible for what happened that night, but I know I didn’t deserve to be hit.

Is my boyfriend an abuser? He has been nothing but caring and supportive and shows no other signs of being abusive. What should I do? — TAKEN ABACK OUT WEST DEAR TAKEN ABACK: Let me point out that abusers do not start out relationships by being that way. But once slapping starts, it often escalates to pushing, hitting and more serious violence.

One of the hallmarks of an abuser is blaming the victim by saying he/ she deserved it, and it is a big, red warning sign.

Because you have said that your boyfriend has never shown any other signs of being abusive in your three-year relationship, consider this incident an unfortunate onetime occurrence. But keep your eyes wide open in case it wasn’t.

Mason City man killed in crash while changing flat tire NASHUA — A Mason City man who stopped to change a flat tire on the shoulder of a highway has died after being hit by a pickup truck. Twenty-one-year-old Zachery Gueller stopped because of a flat tire Monday evening on the shoulder of Highway 218, just north of Nashua. An Iowa State Patrol report says he turned on his emergency flashers and got out of the vehicle to change the tire. A pickup driven by 28-year-old Loren Musch, of Clinton, hit Gueller and his vehicle.

Failed Iowa vote on medical marijuana highlights challenges The Associated Press DES MOINES — An attempt in the Iowa Legislature to expand medical marijuana access in the state may have reached its end this session with a failed vote in the Republican-controlled House, though some Democrats said Tuesday they would keep pushing the issue in the days before a possible adjournment.

Both Republicans and Democrats in the chamber pointed fingers at each other following a Monday night debate that ultimately shot down a plan that critics said would not have done enough to expand the state’s medical marijuana law, which allows the use of cannabis oil for certain epilepsy patients.

The public criticism highlights the challenges of passing legislation that includes a production system for the drug.

At least a few lawmakers have

“The session is not over. There is a way to fix this, and I call on every member of the House of Representatives to continue to fight.� — Sally Gaer West Des Moines mother

floated around a plan to revive the issue this session through an amendment. Advocates encouraged the chamber to consider such ideas. “The session is not over,� said Sally Gaer, of West Des Moines, whose 26-year-old daughter uses cannabis oil. “There is a way to fix this, and I call on every member of the House of Representatives to continue to fight.�

The House was considering a comprehensive bill this session that would create a clear system for manufacturing, dispensing and possessing medical marijuana in Iowa. But it hit roadblocks within the Re-

publican Party and stalled.

Some Republican lawmakers instead introduced a proposal Monday that highlighted one aspect of the bill: expanding medical conditions eligible for a medical cannabis card.

They tacked it onto a separate, unrelated measure.

Following hours of private meetings and public debate, that proposal failed, 31-63, shortly before midnight.

Republican Rep. Zach Nunn, of Altoona, said it would cost “millions and millions of dollars� to properly set up a manufacturing system in Iowa to serve what he estimated would be less than 800

people. “It’s not economically viable,� he said.

Advocates say Iowa can have a robust production system. Threase Harms, who leads the lobbying effort for the advocacy group Iowans 4 Medical Cannabis, said half a million people could benefit from medical marijuana if their conditions were included in the law.

House Democrats also challenged the legal implications of any out-of-state partnerships that would have been possible under the failed proposal. During debate, several lawmakers mentioned neigh-

boring Minnesota. House Speaker Linda Upmeyer, a Clear Lake Republican, confirmed her office was communicating with lawmakers in that state to possibly hash out a partnership.

Democrats said that would not have made it easier for Iowa residents to access cannabis oil, and it would still make them subject to breaking federal law. It’s the same complaint lodged against the state law passed in 2014.

Rep. Bobby Kaufmann, a Wilton Republican, said the chances of passing a comprehensive medical marijuana bill this session are slim given the limited action left before adjournment. He criticized House Democrats for not supporting a bill he said would have made improvements. “We all know the Legislature sometimes acts incrementally,� he said. “The bottom line is that (Monday) night we had an opportunity.�

Lawmakers form special committees Iowa House OKs bill on changes to Des Moines water utility amid budget talks DES MOINES (AP) — Members of the Iowa Legislature continue to negotiate on a series of bills that will make up the next state budget.

Lady Dutch out plays Cardinals in LHC dual

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Jessica Reynolds watches her shot off the No. 2 tee box at Westwood Golf Course in Tuesday’s home triangular meet. It was also a dual meet with Pella in Little Hawkeye Conference golf and the Lady Dutch won the showdown by nine strokes over the Cardinals.

Squaring off for nine holes at Westwood Golf Course Tuesday, Newton High’s Cardinals and Pella’s Lady Dutch were in a battle for control of the top of the Little Hawkeye Conference.

The Cardinal girls are two-time defending regular-season conference champions.

“Pella has a really good team and played a little better than we did today,” Newton head coach Scott Enyart said.

“With the way the remainder of the schedule stands, Pella pretty well secured the regular-season title today.”

The Lady Dutch put together a four-player score of 195 on the front nine holes of Westwood — Newton’s home course. The Cardinals came in with a 204. Non-conference opponent Winterset finished with a 259.

“I’m proud of our kids’ effort today. We just didn’t have one of our better days today, and Pella played good team golf,” Enyart said. “The great thing about our kids is they all know they can play better, and are willing to work hard to improve.”

Senior Emily Fitzgerald played well again on the Cardinals’ home course. After recording an eagle in Monday’s 18hole dual with Iowa City High, Fitzgerald came back Tuesday to

post a first-ever medalist round in a varsity meet.

Fitzgerald won Tuesday’s dual with Pella with a 45 to lead the Cardinals. Seniors Jessica Reynolds and Jessie Smith shot a 48 and a 51 to join Fitzgerald. Junior Lizzy Coyle finished the team scoring with a 60.

“Emily is playing very consistent golf right now. She had pars on No. 1, No. 5 and No. 7,” Enyart said. “Jessica’s highlight was a birdie on No. 8. Jessie hit a great tee shot on the par 3 No. 6 to within five feet of the green then two-putted for a par.”

Enyart said Coyle, sophomore Taylor Dydell and freshman Alayna Reynolds had a tough go of things in Tuesday’s competition. Dydell ended up with a 63 and Alayna Reynolds finished with a 65.

“I’ve got confidence in that trio to improve as the season progresses. They all three have shown they can shoot in the mid-50s already this season.

They will work to be more consistent,” Enyart said. “We all have room for improvement.”

Newton finishes the week with a 9 a.m. tee time Thursday in an 18-hole tournament at Marshalltown.

Newton High boys’ golf team finishes fifth at Oskaloosa Invitational

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Payton Thomas chips the ball onto the green in a home meet earlier this season. Thomas and the Cardinal golf team competed in an 18-hole tournament Tuesday in Oskaloosa.

OSKALOOSA — Newton High’s Cardinal boys finished in the middle of the pack at Tuesday’s Oskaloosa Invitational golf tournament at Edmondson Golf Course.

There were 10 teams and the Cardinals landed in fifth place.

“This was a great chance for our kids to compete against some really good teams — some of which are in our sectionals and districts,” Newton head coach Pat Riley said.

Williamsburg and Grinnell each fired a four-man total of 316 with Williamsburg win-

ning the tournament championship on a sixthman score tiebreaker. Oskaloosa was third with a 322, and Washington placed fourth with 326.

Newton ended with a 327 for fifth led by senior Derek Damman, who carded a 78 on rounds of 37 and 41. Junior Austin Reynolds shot an 81 (41-40) and junior Trey Vanderlaan had an 83 (43-40). Senior Payton Thomas came in with an 85 (43-42).

Juniors Sam Supino and Paul Maharry played for Newton also. Supino had a 92 (50-42) and Maharry shot a 97 (42-55).

“We did not play to what I believe is our full potential. However, it

might work out in our favor. We can continue to fly under the radar as we move closer to post season meets. We just need to play our best golf come May 13 and 20,” Riley said.

Oskaloosa’s Spencer Tucker was the tournament medalist with a 71.

Williamsburg’s Ethan Jacoby was the runner-up with a 74.

Newton heads to Monday’s Little Hawkeye Conference meet at Bos Laden Golf Course in Pella. The conference tournament tees off at 9 a.m. hosted by Pella Christian.

Newton’s Revell strikes gold in shot put ring

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News GRINNELL — Sophomore Haley Revell is leading a young group of throwers for Newton High’s Cardinal girls’ track team. Revell claimed a gold medal in the shot put event at the 2016 Grinnell Girls Tiger Relays Tuesday.

Revell’s winning throw was 36 feet even. Audrey Lucas, another sophomore, placed third in the discus with a toss of 97-1 and Revell in sixth at 91-10.

Colfax-Mingo, English Valleys face off on links

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo freshman Delaney Underwood chips onto the green early in her round Tuesday during a South Iowa Cedar League battle with English Valleys. The Tigerhawks did not have enough golfers for a team score. Official results also were unavailable at presstime.

Raider girls win, Clapper earns medal

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News IOWA FALLS — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s girls golf team recorded a win over two larger schools on Monday. The next step for coach Z a c h HasselClapper brink, though, is to eliminate as many big numbers as possible.

Courtney Clapper and Brynne Pritchard tied for runner-up honors as the Raiders cruised past Webster City at Meadow Hills Golf Course. CMB won with a 228, while the Lynx carded a 245.

“Each of the girls had one big score on their scorecard, which goes back to finding a way to eliminate your bad shots,” Hasselbrink said.

“Take away one hole from each girls’ card, and we would have had a really solid team total.”

Host Iowa Falls-Alden did not factor into the team score after its fourth player withdrew because of an injury.

Clapper received the runner-up medal over her teammate in a cardback. Clapper birdied the par 4 No. 6. She had a par on the par 3 No. 3, too.

Abbie Ericson tied for fourth with a 57, while the other counting score was a 63 from Payton Cory. Katie Garber turned in a 67.

Column: Not even bump-and-run generates good vibes in NASCAR

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Racing doesn’t get much better than a bump-andrun on the final lap for the victory. It’s what Carl Edwards did to teammate Kyle Busch at Richmond International Raceway in what NASCAR says was the first last-lap pass for a win in track history.

It was dramatic, controversial and likely set the stage for tense team meetings this week at Joe Gibbs Racing.

Was it enough, though, to build any positive goodwill for NASCAR? “I think (Sunday) was a great day for the sport,” said winning crew chief Dave Rogers of Edwards’ decision to nudge his teammate out of the way to win the race. “It would be very disappointing to our fans if Joe imposed a team order and told us, ‘Hey, have a parade instead of a race.’”

It’s hard to say with NASCAR’s bipolar fan base.

Most weeks, the majority of the fans can’t stand Busch and use social media to vow they’ll never watch another race until Busch is

banned from competing in the second-tier Xfinity Series. On Monday, though, it was Dale Earnhardt Jr. on social media smacking back at fans complaining that Edwards’ move was dirty.

The only people who should be upset are Busch and his race team. This is the kind of racing fans are supposed to embrace, a driver putting it all out there and fearlessly moving the reigning Sprint Cup champion out of his way for a win.

If there’s an issue, it should only exist inside the walls at JGR, where the team owner can navigate potential hard feelings.

But this is the new norm in NASCAR, where no race is good enough, no finish exciting enough, to satisfy this fan base.

That’s a serious problem for NASCAR. How did this happen?

Well, it wasn’t overnight and fixing this problem won’t be fast, either.

A combination of bad racing and boardroom decisions made by NASCAR has alienated many hardcore fans and turned off the casual observer.

The races are too long, the 11-month schedule over-

saturated. Some fans love the playoff-style Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, others despise it and long for the good ‘ol days.

More than anything, though, it seems the themes that most ignite the fan base are all offtrack issues.

Die-hards were disgusted when NASCAR chairman Brian France said he didn’t want Confederate flags at races anymore. Then he alienated a different portion of the fan base when he endorsed Donald Trump for president. The prayer given before this month’s race at Texas by “Duck Commander” founder Phil Robertson was cringe-worthy to almost everyone but conservatives.

Now, the sport just spent a week debating lug nuts and freedom of speech.

NASCAR’s cutback on pit road officials meant the series could no longer ensure every team tightened all five lug nuts after every tire change. Earnhardt, Greg Biffle and crew chief Rodney Childers were among the handful of participants who warned of the danger in allowing teams to skip lug nuts in favor of a faster pit stop.

EDDYVILLE — Seniors Gunnar Davis and Austin Sneller and juniors Noah Clark and Chris Ellens all won individual titles Tuesday, and the Prairie City-Monroe boys track and field team placed third during a windy night at the Rocket Relays.

Colfax-Mingo got victories from seniors Jacob Lietz and Colin Lourens, helping the Tigerhawks finish right behind the Mustangs in the largeschool team standings.

Pekin won the Class A Division standings with 154 points. BGM finished second with 100, Lietz and the Mustangs were 1 1/2 points back in third.

Colfax-Mingo scored 60 points in fourth, while North Mahaska (47) rounded out the top five.

The rest of the field included host Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont (44), Van Buren (43.5) and Pella Christian (11).

The Mustangs got two Clark wins in the field events.

Clark was the discus winner as his best toss covered 147 feet, 5 1/2 inches.

Clark’s win came against BGM’s Cooper Puls, who will throw in the Drake Relays later this week.

Davis grabbed his third title of the season in the shot put with a throw of Davis 44-0 1/2.

Ellens had another big day for PCM. He won the 3,200-meter run with a personal-best time of 10 minutes, 28 seconds. He took third in the 1,600 with a personal-best time of 4:55.

Sneller won another 110 high hurdles title. He finished first with a time Ellens of 16.2 seconds.

Colfax-Mingo’s Lietz continued his strong senior campaign with another win in the 400. This time, he finished 3 seconds ahead of the runner-up with a time of 52.11.

Lietz hasn’t lost an outdoor 400 during the regular season since March of last season. It was his 12th Sneller straight regular season outdoor win.

Lourens won another long jump title. His best mark Tuesday covered 1810. PCM’s Luke Greiner earned the silver medal with a leap of 18-5.

The Tigerhawks’ 4x400 relay sprinted to the silver medal. Blake SumLourens my, Gabe Simpson, Lourens and Lietz finished in 3:40.63.

Lietz turned over a 50.2 quarter during his leg of the distance medley relay. That foursome included Summy, Lane Dunblazer and Simpson as they collected a bronze medal with a time of 3:52.73.

Colfax-Mingo’s senior twins Michael and Nicholas Deal were right behind Clark and Puls in the discus. Michael Deal took third in the event with a personal-best throw of 136-5 1/2. Nicholas Deal was fourth with a toss of 133-3.

PCM finished third in three relays.

The 4x100 relay featured Greiner, Davis Herndon, Preston Van Wyk and Tyler Dredge, and that foursome finished in 47.3.

Greiner, Van Wyk and Dredge joined sophomore Noah Henkenius in finishing third in the 4x200 relay. That group stopped the clock in 1:37.6.

The shuttle hurdle relay also was third.

The foursome of Cole Dustin, Jarron Trausch, Nick Buswell and Sneller finished in 1:07.27.

The weightmen’s 4x100 relay is not a scored event, but Colfax-Mingo’s foursome of Ethan Opfer, Jake Dunsbergen, Jimmy Camp and Alan Wheeler won for the second straight season.

PCM hosts its boys-only meet at 4:30 p.m. Thursday. Colfax-Mingo also will be in attendance.

Cardinal boys notch LHC win over Tigers

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Possession and pressure put Newton High’s Cardinal boys in position to net their first Little Hawkeye Conference soccer victory. The Cardinals served up a shutout of visiting Grinnell’s Tigers Tuesday at H.A. Lynn Stadium The Cardinals tallied a 5-0 win to improve to 1-2 in conference play and 7-3 overall.

“It was another night of total team soccer by our team,” Newton head coach Sackda Viravong said. “Everyone on our team played really well, and we made a lot of substitutions.”

Viravong said the Cardinals came out flat in the beginning of the game, but eventually found their footing. He said the Cardinals served a lot of balls into Grinnell’s 18yard box, and the Tigers had difficulty clearing the ball out of the area.

The Cardinals’ pressure resulted in a goal by Duncan Lee at the 30:12 mark of the first half.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Heading the ball over the Grinnell goalkeeper for a goal is Newton High’s Austin Johansen (21) to put the Cardinals up 3-0 by halftime on their way to a 5-0 win at home Tuesday over the Tigers.

The Tigers’ goalkeeper Logan Strawser made a diving attempt to stop a shot on goal by Nick Rusk. The ball bounced off Strawser’s hands on the dive, and Newton’s Chet Adams had a short

shot for goal with 18:48 on the clock.

Newton wasn’t through in the first half. There was a little more than three minutes before the break.

Reserve Austin Johansen went up high in front of

the goal to head a pass from Justin Fischer past the Tiger goalie.

Up 3-0, the Cardinals controlled the second half just as they had in the first by possessing the ball. Rusk put a hard

shot on goal, the ball ricocheted off the goalie’s hands right back to Rusk, and he planted the ball into the back of the net.

Rusk’s goal came with 33:08 on the second-half clock. Lee finished the

scoring with his second goal of the night off a pass from Rusk with 3:57 left in the game.

“Griffin Engel made 12 saves in goal, but the most critical saves came in the second half when Grinnell was putting a lot of pressure on us,” Viravong said.

Newton had 11 shots on goal as did Grinnell.

Each team had five corner kick opportunities.

Newton’s junior varsity beat Grinnell 4-1 after leading 3-0 at halftime.

The Cardinals got one goal each from Dalton Pauley, Preston Sherwood, Tyler Stanton and Johansen. Johansen was credited with two assists and Jacob Murphy had an assist. Reagan Maple made six saves.

Newton hosts AdelDeSoto-Minburn in non- conference play Thursday.

The freshman game starts at 4:30 p.m. followed by a junior varsity game at 5:30 p.m. and the varsity contest at 7 p.m.
