Benson in the correct ‘column’ to win competition TJ, Woodrow Wilson combine for spelling bees

Cardinal Lanes closing

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Cardinal Lanes closes its doors May 15.

It is not what Jeff and Bev Van Blair wanted. It’s not what anyone wanted, but it’s happening.

They had weathered the ebb and flow of business for more than 34 years. This time it was too much.

“We want to thank the community for its patronage all these years,” Bev Van Blair said. “We especially want to thank our weekly league bowlers who stayed with us this year. It meant a lot to us.”

Cardinal Lanes has gone through foreclosure proceedings and will be sold at a Jasper County Sheriff ’s Sale at 10 a.m. on May 19.

“We’ll miss being here for sure.

We raised our family here, and it was a good place to be. All of our kids worked here and have stories to share of doing that,” Van Blair said. “Mostly, I hope we’ve instilled a love of the sport in those kids who have gone throughout youth program and have become adult bowlers.

“We hope they all love bowling as much as we do.”

The Van Blairs helped establish the push for high school

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News English is a tricky language with some wacky rules.

Grace Benson remembered one rule in a way that helped her win a competition. Benson, a fifth-grader, spelled the word “column” correctly — which her Woodrow Wilson Elementary School competitor had missed — then spelled “condition” correctly to win the school-wide spelling bee Thursday night.

Benson’s mastery of a silent consonant helped

her triumph, and it capped off an evening of competition, games, art and fun involving Woodrow Wilson students and their families and the host school, Thomas Jefferson Elementary.

Since the Newton Community School District doesn’t have an official spelling bee, the competition, produced by faculty and the dual Jefferson-Woodrow parent-teacher organization is the largest of its kind in the city.

Many of the enthusiastic spellers from both schools showed off their impressive vocabularies by rattling off word after word correctly. Woodrow Wilson held its preliminary rounds last week, while Jefferson held its preliminary rounds SPELLING | 3A

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Jeff and Bev Van Blair have been the owners of Cardinal Lanes for 34 years.

They will close Newton’s 20-lane bowling center May 15. The community has 15 days to bowl at Cardinal Lanes before it shuts down. Cardinal Lanes is open noon to 10 p.m. during the week and weekends noon to midnight.

bowling as a varsity sport. Van Blair said she and her husband ran the program for the first 10 years as a club sport. She said they worked with other bowling center proprietors across the state of Iowa on behalf of high school bowling.

Newton High’s boys and girls’ bowling teams have been competitive since being established as a sanctioned varsity sport seven years ago. Cardinal Lanes provided the teams a place to practice and hold meets without cost.

“We have a contingency plan

in place in case Cardinal Lanes does not reopen,” said Scott Garvis, NHS activities director.

“Our teams will practice and hold meets at Mustangs Lanes in Monroe. We want to make sure our student athletes have the opportunity to continue our strong bowling programs.”

Van Blair said it was important to them the young people continue to bowl. They’ve had strong youth leagues at Cardinal Lanes over the years.

City forming Animal Protection and Control Review Committee

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News To comply with the Animal Protection and Control ordinance, the city council is looking to appoint an Animal Protection and Control Review Committee at its Monday meeting.

The Newton Police Department has recently designated three dogs problematic and/ or vicious and has received one written notice of appeal that must go before a review committee.

If a dog is found to be problematic or vicious, the dog owner may request a hearing before a review committee on the determination by contacting the city within 15 days of the notice. Proposed members of the committee include Emily Thomason, a member of the public, Sarah Siperstein, director of the Jasper County

Animal Rescue League and the police chief or his designee. The committee would serve a term of one year and be responsible for scheduling a hearing to determine if the designated dog will remain with the designation of problematic or vicious or if the decision will be reversed.

Two ordinances are up for the third and final reading before the council. The amendment to the outside parking and storage of trailers, watercrafts and motorhomes and the addition of a leash law for dogs not on the owner’s private property are set to be approved and placed into effect.

Additional conversation could take place of the motorhome subject including what type of hard surface it must be placed on, how many are allowed and agricultural exemptions.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Kim Grabill, left, looks over information presented by Lutheran Services of Iowa supervisor Betty Ward. Hosted by the Heartland Area Education Agency, the open house, held April 21 at the Newton Public Library, allowed parents to learn about options for special-needs students about to transition into adulthood.

Open house provides special education parents with options Several agencies represented at April 21 event

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News “What if … ?” Those are the two words that began many family member’s questions at a recent open house for special education students. “Let’s Talk Transition” was an open-house type of event, held April 21 in a Newton Public Library meeting room, that featured representatives from about seven agencies or service providers.

These representatives brought literature and gave descriptions to parents and other caregivers who have special education students that will soon be age 21 and require adult services.

Goodwill Industries, Lutheran Services in Iowa, Optimae, Progress Industries and the Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services all sent representatives to the event, which was put on by the Heartland Area Education Agency.

Kate Boonstra is the parent and educator coordinator for the Heartland AEA’s

district that serves all Jasper County school districts, plus Bondurant-Farrar, North Polk and Southeast Polk. She said Heartland regularly has these types of open houses around the state, but this was the first time it had come to Jasper County.

In getting the word out for the open house, Boonstra said, she made sure to have agencies present that offer services in Jasper or a neighboring county.

“Families aren’t always sure what the next steps involve for students in special education,” Boonstra said. “I specifically targeted those who can help with Jasper County clients.”

Iowa students are allowed to remain in public schools until age 21.

One parent who attended, LeAnne DeVries, is a few years away from needing adult services for her son, who’s a freshman at Prairie City-Monroe High School. However, as she was about to leave, DeVries said she picked up some important information at the

event.

Miranda Kulis, the director of the Goodwill Career Connection Center, was at the event. So were Nicole McCoy and Pam Herrema of Progress Industries; Betty Ward, supervisor at Lutheran Services in Iowa’s Newton location and Connie Wright, Kris Reicke and Joe McCombs of Optimae.

Tina Ross, associate director of secondary services for the Newton Community School District was at the event, as were AEA staff members Terry Mendel and Maureen Schletzbaum from Warren County.

Boonstra hopes to make the informational event an annual one, or at least have it occur regularly.

“There are a lot of people who don’t know what services are out there,” she said.

Boonstra can be reached at 515-270-9030 or by email at kboonstra@heartlandaea.org.

Local News Lanes Continued from Page 1A “We had as many as 300 kids during a season. This past season, we had 75 kids in our youth leagues. We were flexible in our scheduling of those leagues. It was good to have six or seven smaller groups throughout the week than one large group on one day,” Van Blair said. “That allowed us more time with the kids to help develop their skills.”

For the high school program, Van Blair said this past season, Newton had 30 bowlers. She said the Cardinal athletes had 3,100 practice games and bowled 587 games in meets. The bowling center did not charge the school, she said.

“Bowling is the fastest growing youth sport right now. It’s mainly because of high school and collegiate bowling,” she said.

However, a decline has been seen across the nation in the traditional league

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | May 1, 2015 | 3A

bowling, Van Blair said. Most businesses are now seeing 50 percent league bowling and 50 percent open play.

Van Blair is the current president of the Iowa Bowling Proprietors Association of America (BPAA) and she is on the national BPAA board of directors, representing the western central regional — Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota. She has been active with the BPAA over the years doing committee work and was the 2008 BPAA Proprietor of the Year in Iowa.

The Van Blairs became proprietors of a bowling center in 1978 when they purchased one in Humboldt.

She said they bought the 12lane center in February, then it burnt down in October of that year.

“Jeff began bowling with friends at Maytag, where he was working, and he really liked the sport,” Van Blair said. “My father invested money with us to buy the Humboldt center. Jeff went

back to work at Maytag for several years until 1981 when this bowling center became available.”

In September 1981, the Van Blairs purchased Cardinal Lanes, a 20-lane bowling center, from Joe Fleming.

The current building was built in 1970, but the bowling center moved from a 14lane setup at 12th Street and First Avenue.

“At one time there were 36 lanes of bowling here in Newton. That is unusual for a town this size, but Maytag was going strong and the support was there,” Van Blair said. “Today, to have a viable business, you need 2,500 people per lane bed to get financing for a bowling center.”

After one year of operation, the Van Blairs began upgrading the bowling center starting with replacing obsolete pin spotters and replacing the over-lane ball returns with under-lane ball returns during the summer of 1982.

They had to jack hammer through concrete for tunnels

between all the lanes to install the underground return system.

Several other upgrades were permanent bumpers in each lanes for youth bowling instead of plastic tubes and the automatic computer scoring system. Van Blair said Cardinal Lanes was able to go to the computer scoring system in 1996 because it held the Iowa state men’s bowling tournament in Newton in 1997.

“We’ve had some rough years. The late 1980s and early 1990s had a downturn.

We bought the building and land from my parents and refinanced in 2004. We were at a high point then. We saw reduced business following the smoking ban and the TouchPlay machines leave in 2006 and 2007, then when Maytag sold and eventually closed,” Van Blair said.

Van Blair said the worst came in 2014 with a terrible winter and last summer when business really fell off. She said business was tough four or five years ago, but they

really thought they could weather the storm.

“We recognized after last summer it wasn’t coming back. We had several vendors who extended credit to us so we could try to stay in business this season to try to pay everybody. We’ve been renting the space for this year,” Van Blair said.

She said 18 of the 20 lanes at the bowling center are usable. She said resurfacing lanes, which is done every three or four years, costs at least $17,000. Van Blair said the reduced business prevented some needed upgrades of equipment for the bowling center.

“We’re just sorry we couldn’t turn things around.

We love bowling. We’ve had a good run here in Newton.

We’ve had strong support from the community. Again, we thank everyone and we will miss being here,” Van Blair said.

Frevert, Ramsey & Kobes, a Des Moines design firm, took bids for the project, but the low bid was about $211,000 — or at least $60,000 more than Superintendent Bob Callaghan anticipated.

At last Monday’s meeting, Callaghan and Dave Briden of FRK discussed paint, galvanizing and other variables that could be altered to change the price of materials for the project.

However, Briden said that the elevated nature of the off-the-ground portions of the project is what drives up the labor side of the costs, so there might not be any savings to be done there.

The board is meeting on consecutive Mondays by design, having met last week at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School. The board’s final regular meeting before classes end for the year will be May 18 in the Hough conference room.

A special budget amendment meeting is set for May 26.

Other action items on Monday’s agenda include a price lunch equity decision, transportation renewal of and a consideration of a contract renewal for Perspective Consulting Partners, LLC. Setting a date for Callaghan’s annual evaluation is another action item on the agenda.

The superintendent is also set to make an announcement at Monday’s meeting regarding retirements of various district personnel.

A new property is up for purchase into the D&D Program. The building at 748 N. Third Ave. E. has a long history of nuisance cases and is dilapidated beyond repair such as holes in the roof and throughout the structure. A purchase price of $6,100 was negotiated with owner Pete Koppin.

The council looks to approve May 18 as the day to hold several public hearing about potential bond issues for the city. A bond not to exceed $700,000 would be used for projects involving the golf course such as repairs to the irrigation system and design work for a possible new clubhouse, equipment for the Public Works Department and the Maytag Pool.

A bond not to exceed $9 million would go towards a variety of city projects including the reconstruction of South Second Avenue, paving of Lincoln Street and reconstruction of North Fourth Avenue West. Purchases of fire trucks and an ambulance are included in this bond as well as funding to acquire and demolish dilapidated commercial properties.

The final bond would not exceed $1.4 million would go towards TIF projects in the North Central Urban Renewal Area such as private incentives in the downtown area for projects like the restoration of the Hotel Maytag property and support of matching grants for Main Street building upgrades.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Thomas Jefferson Elementary student Mackenzie Williams got her face painted during Thursday’s family fun night, which included her school and Woodrow Wilson Elementary.

The event also including spelling bees for both schools.

Spelling Continued from Page 1A Thursday before the semifinals and finals.

Kylie Thomas finished a close second to Benson in the Woodrow Wilson competition, while Alex Bassett was third. Alyssa Sidebottom and Talbot Masti and several others stayed in until the later rounds, making the top three earn their trophies.

Some of the tougher words, in terms of ones that were misspelled to eliminate spellers in later rounds, included “appreciation,” “argument,” and “anxious.” Isaac Alexander, Tristan Drake and Cade Waleska were announced as the three top finalists in the TJ spelling bee.

Alexander was initially introduced as the winner, and the first-place trophy

was handed to him, but organizers later announced an error had been made, and all three were declared top-three finalists.

The two schools held a less formal spelling bee than some competitions tied to state or national qualifying and championships, such as the Scripps National Spelling Bee, which will be on live national TV later this month.

This relaxed format allowed staff and volunteers, such as moderator and NCSD board member Robyn Friedman, to offer praise and encouragement to all spellers. The event was combined with a joint family fun night that included food, games, face painting and recreational activities.

Maintaining a sense of balance

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | May 1, 2015

As any adult, I’m a person who wears many hats. I’m a daughter, coworker, friend, cousin, artist, athlete, etc., and all of those roles I take pride in.

When I’m fulfilling my duties in each of those roles is when I feel gratified, complete and my heart is full.

I realized recently, yet again, if I wear one hat for too long or fail to focus my attention on others than I get a little lost.

I remembered that our hats should be rotated.

This isn’t an epiphany either.

I’ve been off balance before and I’ve read interviews from even the most successful people that they’re still trying to balance family and work.

Earlier this year, my boyfriend was going through some struggles and experiencing major changes so I devoted much of my attention to him and my

role being a good, strong and supportive partner. That role is complete.

See, I get a great deal of happiness from my relationship with my boyfriend, but I know that true happiness is obtained from dividing my attention. To spend energy on all facets of my life is the key to my happiness.

When I realized I needed to readjust, I began to focus less on the stress of his problems and more on myself. I was relieved and we were even happier.

It seems so obvious and amateur yet if you’ve ever been off balance you know it takes time to remember. It also took knowing that everything was going to be perfectly fine no matter what.

I began making personal goals especially in eating healthier and making time for

exercise. I made time to call my very best friends whom I hadn’t talked to in a month or longer.

I began to be excited about work and the gratification of being proud of it. I made an effort to be a better daughter, niece, cousin.

I’m a girlfriend and I love all that comes from that part of my life, but I have to be more than that. I’m all things combined.

If all your roles, such as being a parent, wife, husband, daughter, son, friend, coworker, athlete, baker, were baskets, would your eggs be spread out among all of them? Would there be balance among the baskets? Are any of your baskets too full, too heavy? Do you feel balanced?

This isn’t a revelation but coming from a young woman, balance is something I’m

learning to obtain on a regular basis every year with every new role.

Every now and then we need to look at our baskets, our eggs, and do a little rearranging. Find that balance of time and energy and make yourself more flexible to change.

If you’ve been wearing that coworker hat for too long, put on the friend one. If you’ve been wearing that baseball coach hat for too long, but on the son one. If you’ve been wearing that daughter hat for too long, put on the crafts hat.

If you’ve been wearing that parent hat for too long, put on that athlete one.

Whatever hat you wear, enjoy it.

Letters to the Editor

Kelley’s letter childish, unprofessional Angie Smith Kellogg I am a lifelong union member and Democrat. I spent the last three election cycles campaigning for Dan Kelley. I helped elect him so we would have a democratic voice in Des Moines. Unfortunately, his agenda seems to have switched lately and I have been greatly disappointed.

During this session, he voted against our veterans receiving guaranteed funds from the lottery.

He refused to support efforts to allow medical cannabis oil to be used by sick lowans. After years of claiming himself as a champion for equality and acceptance, he turned his back on one of his former Newton classmates and left the chamber during her opening prayer because he “is a Christian” and her values or beliefs don’t match his. So much for equality and acceptance for all.

Rep. Kelley’s latest efforts to openly work against the Jasper County Board of Supervisors bother me the most. Two of the supervisors are fellow elected Democrats. The board has maintained our roads and bridges under very challenging financial circumstances. Rep. Kelley’s saying they haven’t for his own political gain is wrong.

Iowa Blues Challenge provides dynamic show

Vern Schnoebelen Newton If you didn’t make the Iowa Blues challenge at the Izaak Walton league last Sunday you missed one of the most dynamic shows to come to our city. The three bands, in competition for a chance to move on to Memphis, Tenn., put on a show that would be hard to match.

“Good Time Paradigm,” from Pella kicked off with a 30 minute set, that positioned the bar high with a diverse combination of instruments that would make your blues head spin ... including a real

When they push back, he cries foul to all who will listen. The board has stood their ground and resisted bullying tactics and pressure from Dan and his powerful Des Moines friends. For that, they should be commended.

Reading about the recent gridlock and non-workings of the state legislature, I would think Rep. Kelley would have plenty to do in Des Moines. We, as taxpayers, pay him nearly $45,000 a year for four months of work. That is a pretty good salary for 120 days. Maybe we need to reevaluate his pay and whether we are getting our money’s worth.

The county supervisors are doing the jobs they were elected to do. I would suggest Dan Kelley do the same. If he wishes to control roads and ditches, maybe he should run for supervisor. If not, then please start fighting for our education funding that is stalled, sick adults and kids, and everyday working lowans like we elected him to do.

His letter to the editor Thursday was both childish and unprofessional. He needs to quit accusing and questioning local board and city council members. If he can’t resist doing that, maybe people like me need to reevaluate who we campaign for next time around. Because, as the old saying goes, “when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.”

string harp. The band put out a great combination newer blues with a touch of jazz.

Diva and the Deacons hit us with an extremely soulful experience that put you on the porch of where blues really comes from.

Tina made you know the story in her powerful performance — she can make you laugh, smile and cry all at the same time. This band had such a down home stage presence that it made me want to tuck my napkin in my collar and have some supper with the band.

Now we move on to the winners that will move on to Des Moines for the chance at Memphis. Wooden Nickle Lottery, nailed the big prize with great guitar licks, energy and some rip-

ping vocals. This band from the Cedar Rapids area kicked it hard, and was gracious enough to head up a fun jam at the end of the competition that included members from all of the bands. What a jam! “Wooden Nickles” enthusiasm may take them a long way toward their goal!

The South Skunk Blues Society and the Izaak Walton League are proud to bring these productions to the area and appreciate the participation from our community and sponsors. Please take part and stay aware of these great blues events. Don’t miss the finals at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 16 in Des Moines. And, don’t miss Newton’s premier music event, the Bowlful of Blues on Sept. 5.

One of the top priorities for lawmakers this year is expanding access to broadband and Wi-Fi for homes, schools and businesses in under-served and un-served areas, especially in rural Iowa.

Rural schools need better access to broadb a n d to help prepare students By Dan Kelley Iowa for higher educa- Representative tion or a skilled job after graduation. Statistics also show that students with access to broadband at home are 6 to 8 percent more likely to graduate.

Iowa businesses also rely on high-speed Internet to be successful and open new markets. The Internet has opened up new customer bases for small businesses in rural Iowa. Revenue for Iowa businesses from online sales total more than $20 billion each year, and in 2014, 81 percent of Iowa businesses had adopted broadband. With the loss of many manufacturing and other non-farm jobs in rural Iowa, we can’t afford to dismiss the proven value of the Internet to rural economic growth.

That’s why the Legislature recently approved a bill, I supported, to remove barriers and expand broadband access to more homes, schools and businesses.

The legislature is scheduled to conclude to-

day. However, with Washington-style gridlock between House Republican leaders, Senate Democratic leaders and the governor, the session will continue. How long? Until the gridlock on education funding ends and we have an education budget. I am committed to supporting a balanced state budget which adequately funds critical needs of Iowans, especially kids. This is in the best interest of Jasper County, and I will stick to my commitment. I won’t support anything less than a balanced state budget with effective education funding. It is frustrating to me, at this late date, leaders in both chambers and the governor limit voices of rank-and-file legislators, like myself, in the final budget negotiations. It has brought us to Washington-style gridlock which is hurting our K-12 schools and there’s no place for it in Iowa.

The education budget stalemate also hurts our community colleges and universities. The majority party and governor are putting higher education out of reach for many working families. Even though Iowa already has some of the highest community college tuition rates in the country, the House majority plan offers zero new dollars next year, which will raise tuition for students. They’ve also talked a good game all year about another tuition freeze at Iowa’s three state universities but refuse to provide any additional investment from the state to get the job done.

Speedy diagnosis is essential for treatment of lyme disease DEAR ABBY: May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month. I’m a longtime Canadian reader who has suffered from it for many years. More than 300,000 people are infected by this tick-borne illness every year, yet people know little about it.

If someone doesn’t recognize the symptoms and seek treatment immediately, Lyme disease becomes chronic and debilitating. For many years it wasn’t well understood, and many sufferers like me have gone from doctor to doctor with their long list of symptoms, becoming increasingly frightened and depressed.

Please suggest your readers learn about Lyme disease by visiting ILADS.org or canlyme.com. It isn’t as rare as some people believe. It has been found everywhere on the planet except Antarctica. — LYN D. IN “ABBYLAND” DEAR LYN: I’m glad to do that.

Several years ago, my husband caught Lyme disease while sitting in a friend’s living room in California.

Our friend’s dog had been running loose through some marshland that afternoon, and several ticks it picked up bit my husband. When he noticed the bulls-eye inflammation, we called our doctor, who said to come in right away and have it checked. After taking one look, the doctor called in his partner — a doctor from Connecticut — to take a look. (Lyme disease is named for a city in Connecticut.) They said the rash was “classic.”

My husband was lucky for the quick and accurate diagnosis. Because it was caught early, strong antibiotics headed off any serious problems. But not everyone is so fortunate, and people with chronic Lyme disease have been known to suffer for life. A word to the wise: Be informed.

DEAR ABBY: My father always wanted a son, but he and Mom had only one child — me. Now that I am the mother of two boys, he has taken over their schedule and signs them up for activities they often are not inter-

ested in pursuing. This results in my spending my time away from work taking them to activities and sports they don’t enjoy.

How can I respectfully tell Dad I don’t want him doing this? He often calls my children and me lazy if we say we don’t want to participate in the swimming, karate, soccer, baseball, gymnastics and other activities he constantly signs them up for. We just want some downtime once in a while. This has caused many angst-ridden arguments. Please help! — NOT INTERESTED IN ILLINOIS DEAR NOT INTERESTED: Everyone enjoys downtime once in a while, but if your children are spending their days sitting around, your father may have a right to be concerned.

Daily physical exercise is important for good health.

Because none of the activities your father has chosen “for” your sons appeals to them, talk with them, suggest they choose a sport that DOES interest them and have them sign THEMSELVES up for it. Then inform your dad that you no longer want to hear critical comments about your boys because they are not constructive, and if it doesn’t stop, he will be seeing less of all of you.

P.S. Because your dad signed his grandkids up for activities, I’m mystified that he wasn’t more involved in providing their transportation.

Busy summer ahead for Colfax Main Street

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune

Upcoming Events:

With summer creeping around the corner, Colfax awaits the return of popular events including Music in the Park and Mineral Springs Days.

Colfax Main Street is organizing both events, assuring another busy summer ahead.

Before the festivities begin, Main Street will be hosting a downtown cleanup from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday. Volunteers will be walking throughout downtown washing windows, planting flowers and cleaning the streets. Free donuts will also be available at Mineral Springs Park prior to the event.

“That’s a fun time, we’ll take a group picture and just split up into groups,” Colfax Main Street Program Director Emily Perry said. “We’ll walk around downtown, sweep and pick up garbage and plant flowers. So we’re going to just make downtown look pretty.”

A day before the downtown cleanup, the Colfax Main Street will be honored at the Main Street Iowa Awards in Des Moines.

Colfax will receive an award for $2 million to invest in the Colfax downtown by private building owners, doubling last year’s improvements of $1 million.

The volunteer of the year will also be recognized Friday. Main Street has many volunteers who help organize and run events throughout the year. The first of three Music in the Park events — one of Main Streets

Slipstream will be performing at Women’s Club Park, May 9. Slipstream is a local soft rock band consisting of seven members, drawing experience from many groups including the popular “Eight Track Band.”

Music will return to the park June 20, when the $nacks take the stage.

And to close out the 2015, Abby Normal will return to Music in the Park July 18.

“We usually have a pretty good turnout.

It’ll be fun,” Perry said.

“We’ll have some food and drinks available and people can just come and enjoy the music and hopefully we’ll have nice weather.”

In the event of bad weather, the events will be moved to a rain location.

Aug. 28, Mineral Springs Days returns with another Friday night street dance with music from Lonesome Road. Family activities will continue throughout the weekend, and of course the popular Mineral Springs Demolition Derby will close out the

summer Aug. 29.

“It’s fun because we get to put something on that people can come to,” Perry said. “It gives us something to do in Colfax, which is really rewarding.”

Colfax Main Street is also participating in the Keep Iowa Beautiful project, which helps improve the well-being of Iowa’s communities and is centered on historic preservation.

“Main Street’s job is to help revitalize Colfax and it’s a very rewarding job,” Perry said. “The events are a real big part of that.

We do a lot of work to beautify and work with the economic development to bring businesses to town and help our existing businesses. The events make it a fun place to come to.”

Colfax Main Street also continues to promote the monthly Second Saturday Vintage Market that attracts many shoppers from the Des Moines metro area. Shoppers will be able to search for that unique item during the next market, May 9.

Three Iowa patrol officials on leave amid inquiry The Associated Press IOWA CITY — Three high-ranking Iowa State Patrol officials have been placed on leave as officials investigate the process used to award a new state contract to supply handguns, including some that had safety problems, the department acknowledged Thursday.

Maj. Todd Misel, Maj. Michael Winter and Lt. Richard Pierce are on paid administrative leave pending completion of the review, Iowa Department of Public Safety Commissioner Roxann Ryan said. All three have “long and distinguished careers” with the patrol,

and the public should withhold judgment until the facts are clear, she said.

The patrol’s chief, Col. David Garrison, also asked Thursday to step down and be reassigned to his previous position as a lieutenant, Ryan said, but the move isn’t related to the pending investigation.

Ryan, who took over as commissioner earlier this year, immediately named Michael Van Berkum as the patrol’s new leader.

Questions have been raised about the process that led the state to sign a contract last year with Smith & Wesson to supply handguns, as well as the safety of some weapons that

have been provided to date, according to records released Thursday in response to an open records request from The Associated Press.

On April 3, Ryan emailed employees that some newly issued handguns were being returned to a supplier and that several Iowa State Patrol employees were getting their old handguns back and had to requalify to use them.

“We take the concerns seriously when it can involve the safety of officers, and in turn, the safety of the public.

Rest assured that any future decisions will be based on the very same goal of officer safety,” she wrote.

Prairie City awarded $500,000 CDBG to fund sewer improvement project

By Mike Mendenhall Prairie City News Prairie City City Administrator Manny Toribio announced last week the city has been awarded $500,000 in funding from the Iowa Economic Development Authority for planned sewer lining on the city’s east side.

The funding is conditional as IEDA and the Department of Housing and Urban Development work out the details. Toribio said Monday he foresees construction beginning

on the Wastewater Collection System Rehabilitation Project by spring 2016.

The city council submitted its application for the Community Development Block Grant in November of last year.

The project aims to mitigate fresh water inflow and infiltration from the aging sewer mains west of East Street on the city’s north side and all “priority 1” lines east of East Street. The city’s $500,000 request calls for a $125,000 match for the $625,000 project.

Prairie City was in competition with dozens of other municipalities throughout Iowa for the funding. The IAEA and HUD awarded $21.8 million in infrastructure and housing grants for the 2015-16 fiscal year. The City of Mingo was the other Jasper County community awarded a CDBG, receiving $300,000 with a $112,000 city contribution to bring its wastewater treatment lagoon system up to Iowa Department of Natural Resources standards.

Iowa group looks to Moline’s heavy use of alternative fuels The Associated Press MOLINE, Ill. — Moline’s use of alternative fuels to power its city fleet has caught attention across the border in Iowa.

At least 80 percent of the western Illinois city’s vehicle fleet runs on something other than gasoline. That includes electric cars, as well as vehicles and equipment that use an 85 percent ethanol blend, compressed natural gas, propane and biodiesel.

The Iowa Clean Cities Coalition has asked Moline’s fleet department to lead presentations on its efforts this year at the Iowa League of Cities conference in Cedar Rapids and the Growing Sustainable Communities Conference in Dubuque.

Moline fleet manager J.D. Schulte said the alternative-fuel vehicles are purchased when it makes financial sense, but said that isn’t always the case. He said the environmental impact is secondary but still im-

portant.

“You don’t do green for the headlines,” Schulte said. “You make sure it makes sense for the city.”

The city has bought three electric cars and seven natural gas-powered vehicles and equipment in the past year.

A city analysis of the electric cars’ cost over their lifetime, including purchase price and maintenance, says each will save Moline $5,043 over buying a sedan that uses gasoline.

Buying a Ford F-250

pickup that runs on natural gas saves $25,611, according to the city’s analysis.

The city bought four.

Schulte said the city could replace as many as 12 vehicles with natural gas-powered models this year, and has six propane-powered commercial mowers on order.

“If it makes sense financially to do this, and it’s good for the community and environment, then it is the right thing to explore,” Schulte said.

Cat hoarding worsens kitten crisis in Davenport The Associated Press DAVENPORT — A kitten crisis facing already-full animal shelters in Davenport likely will get worse due to cat-hoarding residents who are being displaced from their homes, according to a local shelter director.

A no-kill animal shelter at King’s Harvest Ministries has been scrambling to find space for about 100 kittens belonging to a family of cat hoarders that learned they would be evicted from their home Thursday. Fifty-three of the kittens already are at King’s Harvest and others have been placed

into foster homes, but some are still in the family’s house, said shelter director Terri Gleize.

Most of the kittens are in good health and range in age from several weeks old to about 1 year old.

“They are exceptionally sweet and affectionate kittens,” she said.

“All they want is to be loved.”

The kittens have been treated for fleas, dewormed and vaccinated, Gleize said, adding that it cost the shelter a lot of money. The same family gave up more than 70 cats two years ago because they refused to spay or neuter them, she said.

Other shelters are facing sim-

ilar problems due to the area’s kitten crisis, which will continue to affect both the animals and the facilities trying to care for them, according to Gleize.

The pending closure of a mobile home park in Davenport is expected to worsen the situation.

“I know of at least two, maybe three, trailers at Lake Canyada that have more than 70 cats,” Gleize said. “This is really a crisis, because (every shelter is) already full.

“If you were thinking about adopting a kitten or a cat, now is the time. This is really bad. They really need your help.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News On its way — Macy Leonard, middle, kicks the ball and netted a goal for Newton High’s Cardinals Thursday in a 10-0 victory over visiting Des Moines North at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Leonard was one of six Newton players to score goals, all in the first half. The game was halted by rule at halftime.

Cardinal girls power past Des Moines North Polar Bears

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s Cardinal girls overpowered visiting Des Moines North’s Polar Bears Thursday in a non-conference soccer match.

The Class 2A 13th-ranked Cardinals made an early night of it, scoring 10 goals in the first half evoking the 10-goal margin rule. With a goal by Victoria Jordan with 58 seconds remaining in the first half, the Cardinals were up 10-0. The game was called at

the break.

“We played well. We took good intentional shots, but we can improve on finishing shots,” said Abby Lamont, Newton head coach. “North crowded the box and we had shots deflected.”

Newton put 40 shots on goal in 40 minutes of play.

Addy Blom was in goal for the Cardinals and did not have any work to do as her teammates kept the ball on North’s side of the mid-field stripe most of the first half.

The Language of Sports Covering a myriad of sports, you must know the language of each. It’s tough sometimes.

One word — shoot — means the same in basketball, soccer and trap shooting. Hit the target, the basket and the net and score.

Just take this spring, we have golf, tennis, soccer, track and field, trap shooting and rugby going By Jocelyn Sheets on for Newton and area Newton Daily high school athletes. FacNews tor in NASCAR, IndyCar racing at Iowa Speedway Sports Editor coming soon along with softball and baseball for the high schools, and there’s a lot of language to catalog.

High school baseball practices begin Monday here in Iowa. High school softball practices begin May 11. Games in both sports for area high schools start May 26.

One of my favorite phrases for baseball and softball can’t be used for high school teams — on the crack of the bat.

It refers to the sound of the ball hitting a wooden bat. For high school games, you can use the phrase “ping of the bat,” but it’s not the same.

In golf, we have par, birdie, bogey, stroke, putt, chip, irons, swing, short game and long game. And the low score wins.

Tennis has love and deuce. It is even legal to use a backhand in tennis.

What about soccer’s mark up, man on, push up, corner kick, strike, dribble (which is done with feet not hands as in basketball), goal, header and shootout.

The only player who can use their hands is the goalkeeper.

Track and field has blocks, sprints, relays, handoffs, batons, shot put, discus and shuttle hurdle.

Over the years as a sports journalist, you pick up the languages as you go along.

When I came to Iowa, I had look up motorsports language for the Iowa Speedway events, rugby and trap shooting.

charge for Newton, scoring the first of her four goals at the 34:05 mark. Taylor Moon booted the second goal in three minutes later.

Macy Leonard delivered a well-placed ball in the air in front of the net for Rausch to head in with 27:14 on the clock. Rausch took a pass from Hannah Rhoads and used her body to deliver a third goal.

Leonard found the net on a long kick to make it 5-0 with 22:22 on the clock. Rausch’s fourth goal came two minutes later to push her state-leading

total to 24 goals on the season.

“We had a little fun and changed up some positions for the girls,” Lamont said.

Rylie Udelhoven, who is one of the team’s top defenders, played as a forward with Newton leading 6-0. She quickly made it 8-0. Udelhoven scored back-to-back goals — the second one on a header off a pass in the air by Kaytlin Ahn, in a span of 45 seconds.

Morgan Allen scored at the 17:55 mark, then Jordan’s goal came just before halftime.

Rhoads and Ahn each were

credited with two assists on goals. Anna Forsyth, Rausch, Leonard and Moon each had one assist.

“We have to come back ready to play tomorrow night.

Perry will be tougher competition,” Lamont said.

The Cardinals (7-2) host Perry Friday. The junior varsity game is at 5:30 p.m. followed by the varsity game at 7 p.m. at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Cardinal girl golfers finish second in division at Linda Bloom Invitational

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — Playing on the course they hope to be playing on in a month at the Class 4A state golf tournament, Newton High’s Cardinals posted a 369 to finish second in the Linda Bloom Invitational smallschool division Thursday.

Newton and five other teams competed on the American Legion Golf Course in Marshalltown, the site of the Class 3A and Class 4A state tournaments May 29-30. Another group of teams — Class 5A — played in the large-school division of the Linda Bloom Invitational at Elmwood Country Club, the site of the Class 5A state tournament.

“It was an ideal day to play golf, as this whole week has

been,” said Scott Enyart, Newton head coach. Enyart hit the honorary opening tee shot Thursday morning to open the tournament at the American Legion Golf Course.

“Linda has an impact on girls’ golf in our area and in the state. When I began coaching here at Newton, I wanted my program to resemble what Linda was doing at Marshalltown. She had a passion for golf, for the girls she coached and for family.”

Grundy Center beat Newton by six strokes with a 363 for the team championship.

It was led by medalist Josie McMartin, who shot an 80.

One stroke back as the runner-up was Newton’s Jessica Reynolds. Reynolds finished the 18-hole tournament with an 81 on rounds GOLF | 8B

Cardinal boys lose to ADM Tigers

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News ADEL — Adel DeSoto Minburn’s Tigers snared a 2-1 victory over visiting Newton High’s Cardinals Thursday night.

But more importantly, the Cardinal boys had a player injured in the second half.

NHS head coach Sackda Viravong said senior Brock Southern suffered a serious injury, which stopped play for 45 minutes. He said the injury was to Southern’s right leg, and he was taken to the emergency room, but wouldn’t know more on his condition until Friday.

“We lost one of our best defenders when Brock got hurt,” Viravong said. “After

the game, I told the team I was impressed by how they stuck together after we lost Brock and that they didn’t give up. I was pleased with how they played the game and couldn’t ask for more.”

Derek Gushiken scored twice — once in the first half and once in the second — for the Tigers. It was 1-0 when Southern was hurt and Gushiken scored once the game resumed.

Down 2-0, the Cardinals got on the scoreboard with four minutes left in the game.

Josh Ventling found the net off a rebound. Newton had 15 shots on gold and two corner kick opportunities.

Montezuma won the team title with 134 points, and Lynnville-Sully was 24 points back in second.

Colfax-Mingo placed third and overcame a scare to its top sprinter in the process.

Jacob Lietz gave the Tigerhawks their only win on the track but a hamstring injury forced C-M boys track coach Matt Barkalow to drop him from the rest of his events.

The team got good news after the meet though as Lietz was diagnosed with a mild grade hamstring strain and should be able to return to action right away with proper treatment.

“Jake won the 400 for the fourth consecutive meet, but after he went down it was kind of a ‘next man in’ type of night,” Barkalow said. “I am extremely proud of how our boys stepped up. We juggled lineups all over the place after Lietz went down and numerous guys answered the bell.”

The Tigerhawks scored 73 points in third. Wayne and Sigourney tied for fourth with 56 points and Keota (52), Twin Cedars (46) and Melcher-Dallas (26) rounded out the eightteam field.

Engle won the discus with a toss of 141 feet, 2 inches and Ehresman was next at 135-8.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Problems bring about inventions. If there were no problems, there would be no progress. You’ll love the funny little problem that comes this afternoon, mostly because it inspires your creative solution.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You want to say “no,” but you don’t know how. Keep it brief -- that’s the secret. They’ll ask for an explanation, but you don’t owe that. You have a right to your decisions and mysteries.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Your inherent truth-detector is turned on. When someone’s body language and words do not match, you’ll wisely believe the body language and react accordingly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you’re not happy, the more sensitive people in your life can really feel it. The not so sensitive people feel it, too, though more subconsciously. You happy equals everyone happier.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

What you think is a mess in your life, another person envies. Sharing keeps things in perspective. Tonight, take credit for what you come up with, or someone else will.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Congestion isn’t just a traffic situation. A Sagittarius or Pisces is the perfect friend to help you open up your mental windows and let the

air through for some psychic cleansing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The idea that’s left on the table wasn’t left there because it was bad. It was left there because no one else at the table knew what to do with it.

“From a fallen tree, all make kindling.” -- Spanish proverb PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Take a chance tonight. If you win, great. If you lose and lose with grace, it’s even better.

That will spark your creativity.

Inspired folly connects us to our humanity.

Newton’s junior varsity won 2-0.

The freshman game was a close one also with the Cardinals pulling out a 2-1 win. Gavin Aalbers’ corner kick bounced into the net off an ADM player with 23 minutes left in the first half.

ADM scored the equalizer then Austin Johansen took a pass from Preston Sherwood to score for Newton. The Cardinals led 2-1 at halftime. Benny Cheng was in goal for Newton.

Freshman coach Steve Weeks said the Cardinals played with just nine players in the final 10 minutes of the contest against 11 for ADM.

Abby Jolivette finished one stroke back at 106 (56-50) and Jessie Smith shot a 111 (53-58).

“This week our players have had opportunities to make strides in their games and they’ve taken full advantage of those in front of them,” Enyart said. “I’ve seen our program grow through the years. These girls are carrying on the tradition of being respectful of other golfers, of the game and of family.”

Enyart said Reynolds was mentally focused but relaxed all day. He said her ball striking and short game were on and she was putting well.

“Can you say breakout day for Shelbey?

She’s battled all year and things started to come together for her today.

She had six pars on the day,” Enyart said. “Cydney showed maturity as a player to battle back from some bad holes today to finish strong.”

Enyart said Fitzgerald had strong tee shots and iron shots. She had bogeys on the last six holes to regroup from tough holes along the way, he said. Jolivette ran into trouble also and “turned it around and like Cydney and Emily, she didn’t let it bother her,” Enyart said.

“Jessie stayed focused on her swing and improved as the day went along,” Enyart said.

Nevada placed third with a 371 followed by Norwalk at 376. Grinnell was fifth at 397 and Marshalltown JV shot a 489.
