Pair plead not guilty in child neglect case 1-year-old child tested positive for meth

hire staff locally. Ochoa plans to bring the same great recipes from the Ankeny location for Newton and Jasper County residents to enjoy.

Italian favorites include Yanni’s homemade pasta, baked lasagna and raviolis while the Greek entrées consist of a gyro platter and chicken soulvaki among many others. Wine will also be served.

The restaurant will be available for private parties to rent for business meetings, birthdays or just a social gathering. For now, Ochoa is working to get his restaurant ready for customers, but he said to look in the coming weeks for a grand opening date.

A Newton pair charged after a 1-year-old child in their care tested positive for methamphetamine has pleaded not guilty to charges.

Vanessa L. Trotter, 22, the mother of child, and her 27-yearold boyfriend Cody A. Sanders were arrested on child endangerment charges April 12 after Newton Police were made aware the child tested five times higher for meth than Trotter.

Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen later amended the aggravated misdemeanor charge to neTrotter glect of a dependent person, a Class C felony. The facts of the case better fit the charge of neglect of a dependent person, Jacobsen said.

A warrant was issued for the pair, who were living at Hunters Run, 821 S. 13th Ave. E., after management called the Iowa Department of Human Services regarding the well-being of the child. Police said Sanders the drug screening test, a hair sample, was taken on March 27.

Trotter and Sanders were arrested and also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia when they were pulled over in Newton. While searching the vehicle, officers found a makeshift pipe in Trotter’s purse. The two were taken to the Jasper County Jail, where they each posted a $2,300 bond and were released.

Trotter, whose attorney is listed as T.J. Hier of Baxter, is scheduled for a July 29 jury trial. Sanders will see trial on Aug. 26 and is being represented

by Richard Phelps, of Mingo.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Rigoberto Ochoa, owner of the new restaurant Yanni’s Bar & Grill, plans to bring his Italian and Greek menu to the hungry citizens of Newton.

Yanni’s to open in Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News From Ecuador to New York to Des Moines to Newton — that is the trip Rigoberto Ochoa made to open his new restaurant, Yanni’s Bar & Grill, an Italian and Greek restaurant in Newton.

“I was looking for a place.

I got a call that a place was for lease. I went to the town because I had never been there. I looked at the business and it was good,” Ochoa said. “I feel like I want to be in a small town, so I decided to go to Newton.”

Ochoa said the restaurant will likely open toward the end of May. Originally for Ecuador, Ochoa moved to New York at the age of 15 and began working in restau-

rants. In 1996, he, along with his brother, were recruited to work at The Latin King in Des Moines.

After five years the two decided to open their own business with their first location at Clocktower Square in West Des Moines.

Their current location in Ankeny was opened in 2003 and after a little more than 10 years, Ochoa decided he wanted to look for his next venture.

He originally wanted to look in West Des Moines, but decided to take a look at the Newton building, 2002 First Ave. E., and knew it was for him.

“I like the town so I might even move myself over there,” Ochoa said.

Ochoa plans to bring his daughter along to help in the new restaurant, but is looking to

May trial set for dependent abuse exploitation case

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News Two Newton women charged with exploiting a dependent adult by writing nearly $9,000 in checks are scheduled for jury trials in May. Dani R. Rogers, 39, and Amanda J. Sexton, 35, were charged with dependant adult abuse-financial exploitation in May 2014 after the Newton Police Department began an investigation when the male victim was hospitalized.

Court records show that between December 2012 and December 2013 Rogers, who had power of attorney for the victim, wrote 41 checks totaling more than $6,800 to herself. Between May 2013 and December 2013, Rogers allegedly wrote Sexton 14 checks totaling more than $1,800.

The victim’s mortgage and

utility bills were not being paid during that time, according to court documents. Police also noted several checks were written after the victim was hospitalized, during which time the two women were not allowed contact with him.

Sexton’s jury trial is scheduled to begin on May 4, while Rogers will start her trial on May 11 at the Jasper County Courthouse.

Episcopal heads oppose death of Boston bomber BOSTON — Massachusetts’ Episcopal Church bishops, like their Roman Catholic counterparts, say they’re opposed to the death penalty for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR’ tsahrNEYE’-ehvz.)

The bishops issued a statement Thursday saying they’re praying for all those affected by

the 2013 bombings, including the victims’ families and those involved in bringing Tsarnaev to justice.

They reaffirmed their opposition to capital punishment — a position the Episcopal Church has held since 1958.

calls the death penalty “an unjustified violation of the prohibition against taking a human life.”

Massachusetts’ Catholic bishops issued a similar statement this month.

The family of an 8-year-old boy who died in the bombings has also spoken out against capital punishment for Tsarnaev.

Newton Waterworks explains Cross Connection Control program Newton Daily News Every drinking water system in Iowa must have a cross connection control program, more commonly known as a backflow prevention program. Backflow prevention is designed to protect the public water supply from contamination from customer’s plumbing systems.

Who does this requirement apply to?

Backflow prevention devices are required on all residential properties with irrigation systems. Commercial and industrial businesses also are required to have backflow prevention devices.

Who is managing the City’s Backflow Program?

The City of Newton Waterworks has contracted with Backflow Solutions Inc. (BSI) to manage our backflow inspection program. BSI has experience managing similar programs for other municipalities across the country. BSI will serve as the primary point of contact for backflow inspections within the City of Newton and can be contacted at 800-414-4990 or bsionline@backflow.com.

What are my responsibilities?

It is a requirement that every backflow device be inspected annually by a certified backflow tester. The results of the inspection must be submitted to BSI Online. Backflow prevention inspectors shall submit inspection results to BSI as part of their service provided to you.

How do I comply with these requirements?

Customers with known devices will receive a notification and reminder directly from BSI Online that testing is due. Once the annual inspection is complete, the testing company will enter that information directly into BSI’s online reporting system.

If you have any questions regarding the program please contact LD Palmer with the City of Newton Waterworks at 641-792-2003 or BSI at 800-414-4990.

Make it count, for life is short

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | April 29, 2015

On a recent Monday morning, I noticed the usual Iowa Department of Transportation electronic I-80 message board that include the number of the state’s road fatalities so far this year. It was at 70.

By evening, the IDOT had added in a pair of road deaths that happened over the weekend. The total was changed to 72.

There was another fatality that same Monday, and 77 people had died in 2015 vehicle wrecks as of Sunday — 21 in April alone. I bring up these dark statistics not really to encourage safer driving — although it could be 29 of the 77 fatalities are confirmed to have not been wearing seat belts.

In this case, these stats remind me of how short our lives are on this planet, and how none of us every really know when our time is about to be up.

Usually, this space is reserved for lighter subjects, or at least important, digestible, specific les-

sons that aren’t quite so heavy. It’s not real clear what about the past few weeks brought mortality to mind.

It could have been the New Mexico wrestler who recently passed away in a car wreck. Knowing he was from a small town, and how close-knit his high school wrestling community is, his death at age 21 was eye-opening and tough for many to take. His family lived on my block. It happened just when it seemed like many of his struggles in life were being replaced by some success.

Maybe it was some recent airplane trips I took. Near misses and our general knowledge of road travel is plenty of reminder enough of our own mortality, but there’s nothing like several takeoffs, turbulent flights and landings in the space of a few days to remind you that life can be short.

Or perhaps it was attending a recent ceremony for a Newton fifth-grader who passed away

a couple of months ago. There seems to be a plethora of literature available about what it’s like for a parent to lose a child, perhaps because it is not only a very sad and traumatic event for all involved, but also because those who have been through it know how important it is to pass along their experience.

Regardless of what brought mortality to mind, most would agree we shouldn’t be sitting around worrying about negative things and when those might happen. We should be taking advantage of all life has to offer, not knowing if we’ll ever get the same opportunities again.

The short life span we all face should also be motivation to treat each other well, as there are often regrets about mean or negative statements made in a final interaction. We never really know when we’ll see each other again, so it’s important to part on at least amiable terms, lest those be

our last memories together.

Knowing we all get about 80 years on the planet, on average, or fewer, should help us remember to stop and think about what’s important. We don’t tend to see our parents or grandparents get worked up about the same things that bother us — not simply because generations focus on different things, but also as a result of older people having figured out what’s worth fighting for, and what things can be let go.

We should choose our battles carefully. We aren’t going to know true justice or fairness at all times in all aspects of life.

We also should be grateful for our time on the planet, and try to mix fun with productivity while we’re here.

Our legacies should be important, but not everything.

To cure Ebola, look to animals

By Frankie L. Trull GlaxoSmithKline and Merck have started testing new Ebola vaccines in Liberia. The companies are racing to cure a disease that has claimed more than 9,500 lives and infected more than 23,900 people in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. The World Health Organization will decide in August on the possibility of widespread implementation.

Animal research is vital to the study of disease — and is the primary reason why scientists have hope that they’ll be able to cure Ebola and other emerging infectious diseases.

Scientists rely on animal models to learn about disease processes and develop potential treatments. In order to see how a disease progresses, researchers must use a living system with a genetic makeup similar to humans. Mice, the most popular model for disease research, more than 92 percent genetic similarity to the human genome. Nonhuman primates, such as chimpanzees, are 98 percent genetically similar to humans.

The information gleaned from the study of disease progression in animal models is invaluable — and cannot be replaced by cells grown in a dish or computer models.

For decades, ethicists have agreed that animal studies must precede human trials.

This principle is at the heart of the Nuremberg Code, a guide-

line for research ethics adopted in the aftermath of World War II, when doctors conducted heinous experiments on concentration camp prisoners.

The Food and Drug Administration does not allow clinical drug trials in humans without prior safety and efficacy testing of the drugs in animals.

Animal research has enabled scientists to stamp out several major epidemics of infectious disease over the past century.

Researchers eradicated smallpox globally with a vaccine developed in cows. Thanks to decades-long vaccine research in monkeys, dogs, and mice, the world is essentially rid of polio.

Nonhuman primates have also contributed to the research and development of drugs that fight cancer, malaria, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and Alzheimer’s. The U.S. cancer rate fell by more than 60 percent between 2001 and 2007 — thanks in no small part to novel treatments produced through animal-based research.

More recently, animal research has helped stop potential international threats such as avian flu and SARS. Animal models have enabled researchers to better understand these diseases and how they spread.

As a result, they’ve been able to contain them and avert global pandemics.

Then there’s the recent, rapidly escalating fight against the Ebola virus. An anti-Ebola se-

rum called ZMapp, made from antibodies harvested from mice exposed to parts of the virus, has been credited with saving the lives of two American aid workers who tested positive for the virus. Researchers first found the treatment effective for monkeys infected with Ebola virus — and then began administering it to humans.

Other potential Ebola cures developed in animal models include Tekmira Pharmaceuticals’ TKM-Ebola injection which has proven effective against high doses of the virus in monkeys.

Humans are not the only animals susceptible to Ebola. Wild primates including chimpanzees and gorillas are extremely susceptible, with fatality rates as high as 95 percent. The virus has killed as many as one-third of the world’s gorillas and chimpanzees in the past few decades in Central Africa.

If scientists were to discover a cure for the deadly virus, they could conceivably save the lives of wild apes — many of whom are endangered.

To beat Ebola as we’ve overcome other global epidemics, officials must preserve access to animal research. Cures for this deadly pathogen — and thousands of lives — depend on it.

The first presidential election in which I could vote was in 1972, which saw George McGovern face off against Richard Nixon. As a student of Yale University, I found it comforting to follow my classmates and vote Democrat. While McGovern fell dramatically to Nixon, I still identified with Democrats and voted for Jimmy Carter in 1976 as he battled Gerald Ford. I decided to vote for Carter again in 1980, as he seemed like a decent person. However, he would lose in a landslide to Ronald Reagan.

During Reagan’s first term, I had just begun my neurosurgery residency at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.

I had exposure to many patients with unfulfilled lives because they were becoming dependent on government programs, and it struck me as the wrong way to go. Almost all of my patients were on some kind of medical assistance and social welfare programs, and their lives were in shambles.

Simultaneously, I listened to President Reagan’s speeches and he did not seem evil and racist, as portrayed by the Democrats. In fact, I viewed him as a decent, trustworthy man who was a true leader. Thus, in 1984, I voted

for Reagan. This was a pivotal moment in my life, as I allowed myself to make a decision based on who the candidate was and his capabilities. This was contrary to voting based solely on party affiliation, which I had been conditioned to do my entire young adulthood.

Fast forward to 1988 and 1992. I voted for George H.W. Bush, who seemed very pro-American and preached the importance of caring for everyone. My ways of voting Republican continued in 1996 because of Bob Dole’s strong military and war record (U.S. Army second lieutenant during World War II), a man who appeared compassionate, was a strong leader, and who thrived as Senate majority leader for eight years. Although Dole did not win, I still believed strongly in my conservative values and realized that the more you build in your life and in your career, and the more you raise children, the more conservative and the less liberal you become.

When George W. Bush campaigned in 2000, his policies and general philosophy appeared more in line with my beliefs. The same held true in 2004, and I was intent on him seeing through what he had started in Iraq and other parts of the world. The country had been exposed to dangerous forces that threatened our way of life, and President Bush was adamant about protecting our nation.

2008 was monumental for the United States, with Barack Obama becoming the first African-American with a legitimate chance of winning the presidency. I was torn by history, being an African-American myself and understanding the tribulations that my race had endured over time. Nevertheless, I understood that Obama did not represent me as an American. Instead, Senator John McCain’s principles and military experience earned him my vote.

Mom with secret addiction is playing dangerous game

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 17-year-old girl and I caught my mom sniffing nail polish remover. She obviously doesn’t want me to know because she tries to hide it.

I don’t know what to do. I don’t know why she would want to do this. It’s something people MY age would do. I know better than to do that.

Should I talk to her about it? She’ll probably make up some excuse like she likes the smell. She sometimes tells me I need to grow up because I can act silly. But honestly, SHE is the one who needs to grow up.

I want to help her because I know what she’s doing is not good for her.

But how? — KNOWS HER SECRET IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR KNOWS: Your mother may have an acetone addiction. Because you can’t convince her to take your concerns seriously, tell another adult ASAP what’s going on — a relative, your father if he’s in the picture, a teacher or counselor at school.

This kind of inhalant addiction is serious because in high concentrations acetone is a nervous system depressant. This means it can slow a person’s heartbeat, respiration and metabolism, causing a person to become dizzy, confused and pass out. It can also damage the vital organs — the heart, liver, kidneys and the bone marrow — and cause cardiac arrest and death.

A support group for the children of addicts such as Alateen could give you emotional support. To find one, visit al-anon.org.

DEAR ABBY: My husband had a heart attack a week ago and is still in the ICU. I visit him every day.

Yesterday I found out that he had asked his sister to stay with me to “be there for me.”

I am furious. My sister-in-law is a

nice woman, but we have never been close. My house is a shambles (my husband and I are both disabled, he with peripheral artery disease and me after having been run over by a car) because housework is painful for me. So now, in addition to the stress of taking cabs to see him, I have the additional stress and pain of trying to make the house presentable.

I know my husband meant well, but I don’t want to go through this in front of an audience. I feel angry and also guilty for being angry. Can you help me put all this into perspective?

— STRESSED IN NEW JERSEY DEAR STRESSED: After spending a week in an ICU, your husband may be having concerns about ever emerging. He may have suggested his sister come because he was worried about how you would handle being alone. That you might be upset because your home isn’t ready to be featured in House Beautiful probably didn’t enter his mind.

However, now that she’s coming, be smart. Ask her to help you with the deferred housework so the place will be shipshape when your husband is discharged. If, as you say, you and your sister-in-law aren’t close, her stay with you may be shorter than planned.

1 Living with sex offender costs

4 Mom pleads guilty following daughter’s abduction

mom 2 years in prison

SIOUX CITY — A Pierson woman has been given two years in prison for living with a registered sex offender and leaving her 6-year-old sons with him.

Jill Black, 36, had pleaded guilty to two counts of misdemeanor child endangerment. A charge of child endangerment filed in a separate case was dismissed in exchange for Black’s plea. Black was charged in that case with smoking methamphetamine in the presence of her infant daughter in their Pierson home last fall.

Listeria concerns spark Hy-Vee recall of pasta salad WEST DES MOINES — Hy-Vee Inc. says it is recalling Hy-Vee Summer Fresh Pasta because of a potential listeria contamination.

The West Des Moines-based grocer said Tuesday that the company has learned that frozen vegetables in the salad could be contaminated with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. The company sold the salad from April 9 to April 27.

IOWA CITY — The mother of a 10-year-old eastern Iowa girl whose abduction prompted an Amber Alert last month has pleaded guilty to felony and misdemeanor child endangerment charges.

Shelly Johns, 44, entered a guilty plea April 21. Online court records show she originally entered a not guilty plea before withdrawing it last week. An attorney for Johns declined to comment on the plea deal.

Criminal complaints allege Johns burned her daughter in the face with a cigarette, smacked and kicked her and pulled her hair.

3 Old grenade found at home, authorities say

IOWA CITY — Police say an old grenade has been taken away for destruction after it was found at a private residence in Iowa City.

The Johnson County bomb squad was dispatched Tuesday afternoon after someone cleaning the residence found the grenade in a storage room.

Iowa City Police Department Sgt. Chris Akers speculated that the grenade had been brought back after World War I as a souvenir.

$40K in equipment stolen from Iowa company WATERLOO — Authorities say more than $40,000 in equipment has been stolen from a Waterloo welding supply company.

A Superior Welding employee arrived for work Monday to discover anywhere from $40,000 to $50,000 worth of equipment missing. Items stolen include cutting tools, helmets, copper and more. Investigators say it seems that someone broke a piece of glass on the front door to get inside.

Supervisors approve courthouse use for upcoming activities

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Use of the Jasper County Courthouse lawn for Ridiculous Day, Cool Cars Car Show, Fourth of July festivities and the courthouse lighting and parade were approved by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors Tuesday.

Newton Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Craig Light requested the use for the various activities and also gave compliments to the board for the work they have done in the last several years.

“In 2010 I was interim executive director for the Newton chamber, then stepped away for a few years, then came back and now am the permanent executive director of the chamber.

DES MOINES — Legislation that would make it harder for two energy projects to win eminent domain rights received preliminary approval in the Iowa Legislature on Tuesday.

Kaufmann Subcommittees in the House and Senate met jointly and approved identical legislation, under which a project seeking eminent domain to build through private properties could get permission only after negotiating voluntary deals for at least 75 percent of the affected land.

Rep. Bobby Kaufmann, R-Wilton, said the goal of the legislation was to protect landowners.

“It’s not about wind, it’s not about jobs, it’s not about oil,” he said.

“It’s about private property and whether private or governmental entities could forcibly shove themselves onto your property.”

The legislation must now win committee ap-

“It’s about private property and whether private or governmental entities could forcibly shove themselves onto your property.”

— Rep. Bobby Kaufmann R-Wilton

proval in both chambers.

The proposed change could impact two current proposals, both of which are before the Iowa Utilities Board. One is to build an oil pipeline that would ship 450,000 barrels daily from production sites in North Dakota to an oil hub in Illinois. The other proposal is to build an electrical line across 16 Iowa counties that would transmit wind-generated energy from Iowa to customers in the Midwest and East Coast.

Both projects are trying to negotiate settlements with landowners, though eminent domain may be sought. The Iowa Utilities Board is reviewing both proposals and no hearing dates have been set.

The pipeline project has negotiated easements with about 50 percent of the roughly 1,300 parcels of land, said Vicki Granado, a spokeswom-

an for Energy Transfer Partners. And the Rock Island Clean Line project has negotiated deals with about 15 percent of 1,550 parcels, said Iowa-based manager Beth Conley.

Landowners questioned both projects during the hearing. On the pipeline, they cited possible harm to farmland and the threat of spills, and they wondered whether private companies should have access to local land for energy projects that won’t directly benefit Iowa households.

Lobbyists stressed the companies were trying to make reasonable deals with landowners and added that the projects could create jobs in Iowa.

Jeffrey Boeyink, a lobbyist for the Texas company seeking to build the pipeline, also argued that it was unfair to “retroactively change this process while our approval is underway.”

‘We are hungry’ Aid reaches epicenter, Nepal toll tops 5,000 The Associated Press

AP Photo People gather Tuesday in Baltimore, in the aftermath of rioting following Monday’s funeral for Freddie Gray, who died in police custody. Schools reopened and tensions seemed to ease Wednesday after Baltimore made it through the first night of its curfew without the widespread violence many had feared.

Schools reopen in Baltimore, streets quiet after curfew The Associated Press BALTIMORE — Schools reopened and tensions seemed to ease Wednesday after Baltimore made it through the first night of its curfew without the widespread violence many had feared.

With 3,000 police and National Guardsmen trying to keep the peace and prevent a repeat of the looting and arson that erupted on Monday, the citywide, 10 p.m.-to-5 a.m. curfew ended with no reports of disturbances in the early morning hours.

Baltimore’s school system said all schools would be open and af-

ter-school sports and other activities would also take place.

But life was unlikely to get completely back to normal anytime soon: The curfew was set to go back into effect at 10 p.m.

And baseball officials — in what promised to one of the weirdest spectacles in major-league history — announced that Wednesday’s Baltimore Orioles game at Camden Yards would be closed to the public for safety reasons.

Activists stressed that they will continue to press for answers in the case of Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man whose death from a spinal-cord injury under

mysterious circumstances while in police custody set off Monday’s riots.

A group of pastors announced plans to hold a rally and prayer vigil for the city and Gray’s family at noon.

The curfew got off to a not-so-promising start Thursday night, as about 200 protesters ignored the warnings of police and the pleas of pastors and other community activists to disperse. Some threw water bottles or lay down on the ground.

A line of officers behind riot shields hurled tear gas canisters and fired pepper balls at the crowd and slowly advanced to push it back. Demonstrators picked up the canis-

ters and flung them back at officers. But the crowd rapidly dispersed in a matter of minutes.

Just before midnight Tuesday, Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts declared the curfew a success.

“We do not have a lot of active movement throughout the city as a whole. ... Tonight I think the biggest thing is the citizens are safe, the city is stable,” he said. “We hope to maintain it that way.”

Batts said 10 people were arrested soon after the curfew went into effect: two for looting, one for disorderly conduct, and seven for violating the curfew.

GUMDA — Hands pressed together in supplication, the Nepalese women pleaded for food, shelter and anything else the helicopter might have brought on an in-andout run Wednesday to this smashed mountain village near the epicenter of last weekend’s mammoth earthquake that killed more than 5,000 people.

Unlike in Nepal’s capital, where most buildings were spared complete collapse, the tiny hamlets clinging to the remote mountainsides of Gorkha District have been ravaged. Entire clusters of homes were reduced to piles of stone and splintered wood. Orange plastic tarps used for shelter now dot the cliff sides and terraced rice paddies carved into the land.

“We are hungry,” cried a woman who gave her name only as Deumaya, gesturing toward her stomach and opening her mouth to emphasize her desperation. Another woman, Ramayana, her eyes hollow and haunted, repeated the plea: “Hungry! We are hungry!”

But food is not the only necessity in short supply out here beyond the reaches of paved roads, electricity poles and other benefits of the modern world.

These days, even water is scarce. Communication is a challenge. And modern medical care is a luxury many have never received.

Gumda is one of a handful of villages identified as the worst hit by Saturday’s 7.8-magnitude earthquake, from which it will almost certainly take years to recover.

As in many villages, though, the death toll in Gumda was far lower than feared, since many villagers were working outdoors when the quake struck at midday. Of Gumda’s 1,300 people, five were killed in the quake and 20 more were injured.

As the helicopter landed Wednesday with 40-kilogram (90-pound) sacks of rice, wind and rain whipped across the crest of the mountain.

Seeing the conditions, the U.N. World Food Program’s Geoff Pinnock shouted over the roar of the propellers, “the next shipment has to be plastic sheets.

These people need shelter more than they need food.”

About 200 villagers huddled under a few umbrellas and plastic tarps as they waited to receive the aid, some with runny noses and chattering teeth. With the erratic Himalayan weather, aid workers are worried about keeping people warm, fed and safe.

Justice Kennedy sent clearer signal in 2013 marriage case WASHINGTON — Two years ago, Justice Anthony Kennedy left little doubt during Supreme Court arguments that a part of the federal anti-gay marriage law was doomed.

When the justices heard arguments Tuesday in a broader case about the right of same-sex couples to marry anywhere in the United States, the 78-yearold Kennedy’s comments were less clear-cut and his potential-

ly decisive vote less certain than it was two years ago.

He left people on both sides of the issue with hopes and fears about the outcome in the landmark civil rights case, although Kennedy’s track record as the author of the court’s three earlier rulings in favor of gay rights probably gives samesex marriage supporters less to fear.

Kennedy’s role as the often-pivotal vote on the court was reinforced by the apparent

deep divide between the court’s liberal and conservative justices over whether the Constitution gives same-sex couples the right to marry. Those couples can do so now in 36 states and the District of Columbia, and the court is weighing whether gay and lesbian unions should be allowed in all 50 states.

The drama played out in the packed, grand courtroom with its 44-foot ceiling, marble columns and mahogany bench. Kennedy’s wife, as well

As advocates and protesters demonstrated outside, Kennedy worried about changing the definition of marriage from the union of a man and a woman, a meaning that he said has existed for “millennia-plus time.”

“It’s very difficult for the court to say ‘We know better’” after barely a decade of experience with same-sex marriage in the United States, Kennedy told Mary Bonauto, a lawyer representing same-sex couples.

Senior Day Success

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News DES MONIES — Newton High’s boys broke through into the win column in tennis dual play Tuesday. The Cardinals edged out host Des Moines North’s Polar Bears, 6-5.

“I can honestly say this was a big step forward for us. Not only by getting a win tonight, but seeing some of the things we have been working on all season start to click,” said Nick Hoskins, NHS boys’ head coach.

Newton went 4-2 in singles matches Tuesday.

John Trettin defeated Binh Doan, 6-4, 6-1 in No. 1 singles and Joe Stammeyer rolled to a 6-0, 6-0 win over Markes Carter at No. 2 singles.

In No. 3 singles, James Trettin dominated Akai Thiphavong, 6-1, 6-0 for Newton. Jared Griffin battled his way to a 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 victory over North’s Thomas Gomez.

John Trettin Newton’s Reid Miller dropped a three-set match at No. 5 singles. Alejandro Contreras rallied to beat Miller in a tiebreaker situation, 7-5, 2-6, 11-9. North’s Caleb Ostermann defeated Newton’s Seamus Vandemore, 6-2, 7-5.

“John, Joe and James were in control from the start of their matches. It was great to see them get out in front and stay in front,” Hoskins said.

“Jared was trading punches with his opponent, as it seemed neither one was able to break the others serve. His first set tiebreak was just as close.

Jared was able to adapt well to a few adjustments we made after the first set, and took the second set after finally scoring a break point.”

Hoskins said Miller was down 5-0 in the first set of his match and came back, winning the next five games. Hoskins said Miller dropped the next two games to lose the first set, but he took control of the second set.

NHS girls post win over Pella in LHC golf

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — Consistency is a word Newton High girls’ golf head coach Scott Enyart is using a lot right now to describe his team.

It is paying off for the Cardinal girls as they notched another win Tuesday.

They improved to 4-0 in dual nine-hole action, beating Little Hawkeye Conference opponent Pella on the Lady Dutch’s home course.

Newton fired a four-man player score of 189 while Pella shot a 197. Winterset, a non-conference team, finished with a 261 on the Pella Country Club golf course.

“It is a longer course than Reynolds we’ve played this season. Our girls shortened the course with their nice tee shots,” Enyart said of the Cardinals’ play on the day. “We’re going into an 18-hole meet Thursday and looking to build off the success our girls have been having.”

Jessica Reynolds led the Cardinals and the entire field with a 43 as the meet medalist. Newton teammate Cydney Hillyard was the runner-up medalist with a 45.

Abby Joliette shot a 50 and Shelbey Cochran carded a 51 to round out the team scoring. Emily Fitzgerald and Jessie Smith shot 52 and 57, respectively.

“Jessica had a solid night of golf with three pars and a birdie,” Enyart said. “She said she had a 20-foot putt on No. 5 for a par and a 50-foot putt on No. 9 for the birdie, but she missed several three-foot putts along the way.”

Enyart said Hillyard, Jolivette, Fitzgerald and Smith had good consistent play over the course.

Hillyard played the course’s two par-5 holes well and Jolivette only had one big number hole on the day, he said.

“Shelbey finished strong tonight. She had a monster drive on No. 9 and two-putted to the hole. She also had a par on No. 4,” Enyart said.

“We have several players right at the door of breaking through 50 mark to get into the 40s. As a team, we’re seeing more and more consistent play.”

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News One shot. Newton High’s girls had one shot to have a successful home tennis meet in 2015.

They got it right on Senior Day Tuesday. The Cardinals swept the varsity matches, 11-0, against visiting Des Moines North’s Polar Bears.

Newton also went 6-1 in junior varsity doubles play.

Newton recognized its six seniors — McKenna Heisdorffer, Marisa Modlin, Melanie Stice, Brenda Becerra, Arianna Jamieson and GiGi Chen. Five of those seniors helped win varsity matches.

The Cardinal varsity singles players dropped only five games in six matches. They gave up just eight games in the five doubles matches.

Heisdorffer dominated at No. 1 singles for Newton with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Valeria Guerra. Modlin rolled to a 6-1, 6-1 victory against Selana Bounthakhamphong. Hesidorffer and Modlin teamed up for a 6-2, 6-1 win at No. 1 doubles over Guerra and Bounthakhamphong.

Sophomore Megan Pressgrove overpowered North senior Megan Russell, 6-0, 6-0, at No. 3 singles.

Junior Sierra Griffith did the same — 6-0, 6-0 — against Megan Bohall in the No. 4 singles match.

Newton’s Kate Wyre, a junior, netted a 6-1, 6-0 decision over Mikalen Sellers at No. 5 singles.

In the No. 6 singles match, sophomore Katherine Thorpe defeated Ayanna Dixon, 6-1, 6-1.

Pressgrove and junior Madison Humphrey put up a 6-1, 6-1 win over Russell and Bohall in the No. 2 doubles match for the Cardinals.

Wyre and Griffith combined for a 6-0, 6-1 decision as Newton’s No. 3 doubles team over North’s Sellers and Dixon.

Stice and junior Elizabeth Myers posted a 6-1, 6-0 win for Newton over Nina Soe and Cherry Tran at No. 4 doubles. Newton’s GIRLS | 6B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo boys track and field coach Matt Barkalow talks with members of his 4x800-meter relay team in Des Moines earlier this season.

Members of that team included (pictured from left) Cameron Warner, Jacob Lietz and Blake Summy. Barkalow’s Tigerhawks were fifth in Tuesday’s meet at Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont with 62 points.

Mustangs finish second, C-M fifth at E-B-F

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News EDDYVILLE — The Prairie City-Monroe boys’ track and field team claimed its highest finish in quite some time Tuesday when the Mustangs brought home a runner-up team tally.

Skyler Koder was part of both PCM wins, taking the gold medal in the 110-meter high hurdles and also anchoring the shuttle hurdle relay to a win.

Koder, who also was second in the high jump, recorded a personal-best time in the 110 hurdles and the foursome of Ricky Reeve, Austin Sneller, Lucas Pendroy and Koder ran a personal-best time in the hurdle relay as the Mustangs finished with 89 points at the 33rd Annual Rocket Relays hosted by Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont.

Pekin was the big school team champion with 161 points. PCM had five more points than BGM (84) and North Mahaska was fourth with 74. Colfax-Mingo was next with 62, the host Rockets scored 51 and Pella Christian rounded out the field with 29.

“It’s been a long time since we finished that high,” PCM coach Collin Harrison said. “I think the field events are really helping us. We aren’t always getting firsts and seconds but we are getting double points in a lot of them.”

Koder won the 110 high hurdles with a personal-best time of 15.98 seconds. The shuttle relay crossed first in 1 minute, 2.61 seconds.

Colfax-Mingo got a win from Jacob Lietz in the 400-meter dash, and he also anchored the Tigerhawks to a win in the 4x400 relay.

Lietz hit the line to win the 400 in 54.2 seconds and the team of Blake Summy, Gabe Simpson, Jared Myers and Lietz won the 4x400 in 3:41.55.

“We had some good efforts tonight, but weren’t our sharpest overall,” C-M coach Matt Barkalow said.

“Lietz didn’t have his best time, but he ran a smart race and did what he had to do to win. The 4x400 relay won gold, but I know they aren’t satisfied with their times. They’ll keep working hard to improve — they are true

competitors.”

Koder had the Mustangs’ only second-place finish. He got to 6 feet, 2 inches in the high jump.

Ricky Reeve was third in the long jump with a leap of 19-0, Noah Anderson was third in the 400 with a time of 55.2 and Connor Warrick collected the bronze in the shot put with a heave of 42-3.5.

The Mustangs’ 4x400 relay team was third.

That foursome included Sneller, Anderson, Tyler Dredge and Maverick McAtee and they crossed in 3:47.6.

McAtee, individually, was fourth in the 800 and 1,600 and Logan Gilman placed fourth in the discus.

Colfax-Mingo’s third win came in the 4x100 weight men’s relay. No team points were awarded but Ethan Opfer, Michael Deal, Jimmy Camp and Alan Wheeler won food tickets for coming in first. Wheeler dove across the finish line, stopping the clock at 50.81 seconds and winning by photo finish.

“That was exciting to say the least,” Barkalow said.

The lone silver medal for C-M was collected

by Colin Lourens. He set a pair of personal records in the long jump and was second with a leap of 19-5. Summy was fourth in the event with a jump of 18-9.5.

The 4x800 and distance medley relays were both third. Andreas Juul, Richard Blom, Will Dunsbergen and Adam Teed finished the 4x800 in 9:42.16 and the distance medley relay team of Summy, Lourens, Lietz and Simpson crossed the line in 4:02.01.

Summy had a fourthplace finish in the 200 as he finished in 24.45 seconds.

The Tigerhawks’ 4x200 and shuttle hurdle relay teams each placed fourth.

The 4x200 relay included Lourens, Myers, Wheeler and Simpson and they hit the line in 1:40.29.

The shuttle hurdle relay team of Blom, Wheeler, Clayton Brown and Sean Borts finished in 1:16.66.

Both PCM and Colfax-Mingo return to competition at 5 p.m.

L-S boys finish second at Rocket Relays

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News David Bastuck, a German foreign exchange student at Lynnville-Sully, runs in the 4x400-meter relay in Baxter earlier this season. The Hawks were second in the small-school division at the 33rd Annual Rocket Relays in Eddyville on Tuesday.

Bastuck’s day included a second-place finish in the 4x400 relay and a third-place tally in the 400.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City Monroe’s Austin Sneller runs in a relay at CMB’s home meet earlier this season in Baxter. The Mustangs scored 89 points and finished second in the large school division at Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont on Tuesday night. Sneller was a part of PCM’s winning shuttle hurdle relay team, too.

EDDYVILLE — The field events powered the Lynnville-Sully boys’ track and field team to a second-place finish in the small-school division at the Rocket Relays on Tuesday.

Two of the Hawks’ three wins came in the shot put and discus and the team went 1-2 in the discus and 1-3 in the shot put to score 44 points before the running events even started.

Montezuma won the meet with 182 points and the Hawks had 120 in second.

HLV was third with 90, Keota was fourth with 84 followed by Sigourney’s 42, Tri-County’s 15 and the Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont junior varsity’s 13.

Noah Engle was the discus winner with a throw of 138 feet, 8 inches, and his teammate Sage Ehresman was next at 108-2.

Ehresman won the shot put with a throw of 46-7.5 and Blake Wehrle came in third with a heave of 38-11.5.

Engle added eight more points in the high jump where he took second at 5-8.

The other win for L-S came from Canyon Kuhlmann in the 3,200 as he crossed in 11:12.77.

Kuhlmann also was third in the 400 hurdles with a time of 1:02.44.

The two other individual third-place finishes came from Ehresman in the 100 and David Bastuck in the 400. Ehresman crossed in 11.52 and Bastuck finished in 55.34.

PCM soccer loses at home

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Freshman McKeely Tjaden stops a shot on goal for the Prairie City-Monroe soccer team earlier this season.

The Mustangs lost to Ballard, 7-2, on Tuesday night. PCM got goals from McKinzie Tjaden and Kennah Walters and Jessica Albright had an assist. The Mustangs host Collins-Maxwell/Baxter at 5:30 p.m. Friday in Monroe.

ISU to get $125,000 for Sioux Falls game AMES (AP) — The Iowa State men’s basketball team will be paid $125,000 to open next season against Colorado in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Sanford Frontiers, the corporation that runs the Pentagon events center, will pay the

Cyclones that amount according to a contract released by the school to The Associated Press on Friday.

Iowa State would owe Sanford $100,000 if it backs out of the game.

The contract did not say how much the Buffaloes will

be paid for the Nov. 13 game.

High-profile college basketball games are nothing new to the Pentagon.

The 3,200-seat gym has recently hosted the Wisconsin Badgers, the St. Johns Red Storm, the Wichita State Shockers and Memphis.

Ragan to replace Vickers at MWR CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — David Ragan will move to Michael Waltrip Racing next week and finish the season as the replacement driver for Brian Vickers.

Ragan has been filling in at Joe Gibbs Racing for Kyle Busch since the second week of the season.

Busch is expected to return soon, and JGR has wanted to give 18-year-old development driver Erik Jones some seat time in a Sprint Cup car before Busch comes back.

That frees up Ragan, who will take over the No. 55 Toyota at Kansas Speedway.

Team co-owner Michael Waltrip will drive the car Sunday at Talladega.

“It’s going to be awesome knowing when I climb in the No. 55 at Kansas that car will be mine the rest of the season,” Ragan said.

“It’s tough what’s happened to them this year, but I hope I can come in and make 2015 something special.”

Vickers missed the first two races of the season as he recovered from heart surgery.

He returned for two races but was sidelined again in

March with recurring blood clots.

No timetable has been set for Vickers’ return.

“Life has thrown a lot at MWR the first part of this racing season, but our team has stood tall and worked through it,” Waltrip said.

He added that the decision to use Ragan for the rest of the year was to give the team and sponsor Aaron’s some stability.

“There is absolutely no question about Brian Vickers’ ability, but there remains a question of his availability,” Waltrip said.

“We are going to remain very close with Brian while he works on his plan to return.”

Vickers must take blood thinners, and he can’t race while on them because of the chance of uncontrollable internal bleeding if he crashed.

“We have told him that MWR is here when he has a clear picture about what the future holds, but we don’t need to add any timeline pressures,” Waltrip said.

“He is working with a lot of medical advisers, and once he has established his plan, we will sit down and discuss next

Hawks Continued from Page 2B Carson Dunsbergen and Bastuck finished in 3:44.73. The shuttle hurdle relay team of Carson Dunsbergen, Caden Dunsbergen, Colton Arment and Ryan Hofer also was second in 1:06.42.

The 4x100 and 4x800 teams were both third. Luke Jones, Karl Recknagel, Sage Zylstra and Elijah Collins finished the 4x800 in 9:55.52 and the 4x100 team of Ross Van Wyk, McCoy, Noah Zylstra and Engle crossed in 46.88 seconds.

The Hawks will compete in the smallschool division at Prairie City-Monroe on Thursday. Colfax-Mingo, Sigourney, Wayne, Twin Cedars, Montezuma, Melcher-Dallas and Keota also will be in the field. Action begins at 5 p.m.

steps.”

Brett Moffitt, a Grimes, Iowa, native, has driven six races in place of Vickers this season.

The 22-year-old is a development driver with MWR, and the team likely wants to see him in a steady Truck Series or Xfinity Series ride rather than rush him into a Sprint Cup seat.

Moffitt’s best finish was eighth at Atlanta in March.

Ragan, meanwhile, has a fifth-place finish this year in Busch’s car, and he’ll drive it for a final time this weekend at Talladega, where he won in 2013.

Front Row Motorsports will use Chris Buescher this weekend at Talladega and work on filling Ragan’s old No. 34 Ford for the rest of the season.

“We are grateful to David Ragan for his contributions to the growth of Front Row Motorsports and his commitment to our partners over the past three years,” said team owner Bob Jenkins.

“He led us on our first trip to victory lane, and that’s a moment we’ll never forget.”

Shane Ray cited for pot possession COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — NFL prospect Shane Ray has been issued a misdemeanor citation after a trooper found a small amount of marijuana in the defensive end’s car.

The 6-foot-3, 245-pound Ray was the SEC defensive player of the year at Missouri.

He was expected to be an early first-round pick this week in the NFL draft but that may change after his arrest this week.

Corporal Scott White with the Missou-

ri Highway Patrol says a trooper pulled Ray over on Interstate 70 west of Columbia early Monday morning for speeding.

White says the trooper searched the car after smelling the odor of marijuana.

Ray was cited for possession of 35 grams or less of marijuana and for a traffic violation.

White says Ray was cooperative, showed no signs of impairment and was released with a summons to appear in Cooper County court in June.

Pacquiao: Relax, I’m going to beat Floyd Mayweather LAS VEGAS (AP) — Manny Pacquiao worried about the punching power of Miguel Cotto. He knew Juan Manuel Marquez was a slick counter puncher, and wondered how he’d fare against a fighter the caliber of Oscar De La Hoya.

He’s got no such worries about Floyd Mayweather Jr. on the eve of boxing’s richest fight ever.

“I cannot say he is that difficult an opponent,” Pacquiao said Tuesday. “My confidence right now is different than the other fights I had. I feel excited, this is it.

I have to prove something.”

Just hours after arriving in this boxing capital in a motorhome from Los Angeles, Pacquiao oozed confidence at a rally attended by about 1,000 people at the Mandalay Bay hotel. The mostly Filipino crowd watched Pacquiao’s latest music video and was entertained by dancers and singers before the fighter himself made a brief appearance.

“I know I’m going to win the fight in the ring,” Pacquiao told the crowd. “So relax.”

Oddsmakers aren’t so convinced, with Pacquiao remaining about a 2-1 underdog for a fight expected to earn him more than $100 million. But Pacquiao didn’t even have to break a sweat to win over the crowd that came to the hastily arranged pep rally in a convention area at the hotel.

“You’re excited,” Pacquiao said to the cheering crowd.

“I’m very excited.”

Mayweather was greeted by a much bigger crowd at the MGM Grand hotel, where Saturday’s night welterweight title fight will play out. The Southern University marching band entertained and a mariachi band played outside before Mayweather arrived 20 minutes early.

For many, it was their only chance to see the two fighters without reaching deep in their pockets. Tickets for the fight itself were being offered online starting at $3,800 and going

over $100,000 near ringside, while even the $10 tickets for Friday’s weigh-in were being offered for $100 or more.

“Five years ago this was a $50 million fight for me and $20 million for him,” said Mayweather, who is expected to make $180 million or more to $120 million for Pacquiao’s camp.

With the real work already done, both fighters were going over game plans for a bout that was five years in the making. Pacquiao said he had two or three different strategies for the fight, depending on whether Mayweather wants to try to win with his defense or comes out attacking.

“If he wants to fight me, good for me,” Pacquiao said.

“If he’s running and moving around the ring we’re prepared for that, too.”

Mayweather said that Pacquiao will be trying the same game plan that 47 others have failed to implement.

“Everybody’s game plan is to come forward and throw lots of punches,” Mayweather said. “It hasn’t worked in 19 years and 47 fights.”

It didn’t work for De La Hoya, who lost to both men while helping make them the pay-per-view stars they are today.

Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, was in De La Hoya’s corner in 2007 when De La Hoya won most of the early rounds before fading and dropping a decision to Mayweather.

“I really did learn from the Oscar fight. It was a good lesson to me,” Roach said. “Floyd is tricky but not very complicated. But if you get behind him and start following him around the ring he will set a trap. I have trained Manny not to let that happen. When he sets a trap, Manny will walk away.”

De La Hoya said his head tells him Mayweather will win the fight, but his heart is with Pacquiao. He said the Filipino has an advantage with Roach in the corner, and will have a strategy to counter Mayweather’s defensive moves.

“Jonah and Michael were down in their first set 0-5, but won the next three to make it interesting,” Hoskins said.

“At the set change, I told them to turn up the energy and they did just that.

It was fun to watch them celebrate the points they won and talk together to figure out what they did wrong when they lost points. Nick and Parker were pretty close in both their sets. They are both becoming more consistent with their play.”

In addition, Baltimore’s Friday-to-Sunday series against Tampa Bay was shifted from Camden Yards to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, with the Orioles remaining the home team and batting last.

Although the Orioles won’t be performing in front of their fans Wednesday and will lose three home games, they understood the situation and had not complaints.

“It’s all about what’s best for the city and the safety of our people,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said in a telephone interview with the AP.
