NCSD seeks public input on naming admin center Comments sought through Thursday on former Hy-Vee West building

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Abigail Pelzer/Daily News Pregnancy Center of Central Iowa counselor Lynnette Christensen and director Rita Baker look through spring and summer clothing in the center’s store. Through an incentive program clients can purchase clothing and a wide variety of children’s necessities by completing parenting curriculum at the center.

Pregnancy Center of Central Iowa turns 25 Annual Walk for Life is Saturday

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News On a Wednesday afternoon just across the railroad tracks near Sunset Park in Newton, the Pregnancy Center of Central Iowa is a bustling operation in the Meisner Center.

The phone is ringing, and administrative assistant Juana McConnell is busily writing appointments in a scheduling book and then assisting a mother and her small child as they pick up clothes from the center’s store.

Director Rita Baker is reviewing a variety of client curriculum bound in binders and shelved neatly throughout the office building. Meanwhile, she’s fielding inquiries about the center’s upcoming fundraiser, The

Annual Walk for Life, and preparing for an afternoon of counseling.

In its 25th year, the Pregnancy Center of Central Iowa counselors book about 60 appointments each month. Longstanding traditions of providing free pregnancy tests, unplanned pregnancy counseling and an “Earn While You Learn” incentive program remain mainstays.

Baker, who has been director of the center for more than two years, describes the facility as a

crisis pregnancy center, but said parenting classes are becoming a stronger demand.

“A big chunk of what we have morphed into is at least 50 percent of our clients are here for the parenting classes,” Baker said. “Of them about 40 are adjudicated — they lost their children or they were placed in foster care. We have some real tough cases.”

At the recommendation of the court or Department of Human Services, those parents take the classes at the Pregnancy Center as part of a plan to get their children back.

Curriculums ranges from parenting without emotion to practical life skills like using a budget and cooking nutritious food.

“A lot of times we’ll see people who don’t know how to shop and buy real food and because of that there’s some issues with health,” Baker said. “It’s all connected to poverty for the most part.”

Public input is sought this week by the Newton Community School District Board of Education to help come up with two names.

At last week’s regular NCSD meeting, a three-member committee — comprised of board members Donna Cook, Josh Cantu and Ann Leonard — did not bring in any formal recommendations for the new administration building name. Instead, the board and administration agreed to gath-

er public feedback by Thursday for both the building and the district’s alternative high school, known for the past several years as Basics & Beyond.

Input on the names can be submitted through the email address namethebuilding@newton.k12.ia.us and through the Facebook page “District Administration,” which can be found here: bit. ly/1NiFeYz. Suggestions will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. Thursday.

Red Pride Service Day scheduled for Wednesday Westwood irrigation project moving forward Newton Daily News

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A $419,000 irrigation project is finally set to get underway at Westwood Golf Course. The Newton City Council approved the more than $39,000 increase to the project contracted to Leibold Irrigation on Monday.

The East Dubuque, Ill. company was originally approved to spend about $381,000 to complete the nine-hole automatic irrigation improvement project in September.

After the calculating the final construction costs and funds needed for engineering design, the

final number increased to more than $419,400.

To account for the additional $39,400 needed, the purchase of a golf mower and utility care scheduled in the 2015 bond proceeds were deferred. The remaining amount was collected by having the golf staff construct golf cart paths in-house instead of contracting out the work.

With those cost saving measures and the $380,000 originally budgeted for the project, the irrigation system will be paid for using 2015 bond proceeds.

57 percent of Iowa corn crop planted DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented Monday on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“The rain last week certainly slowed planting progress, but farmers were still able to plant 17 percent of the corn crop and remain ahead of the 5-year average with 57 percent now in the ground. It will take a few days for many parts of the state to

dry back out, but with warmer temperatures and dryer weather forecasted, many farmers will be hoping to be back planting by the end of the week,” Northey said.

The report summary follows: Although some fieldwork was done early in the week, as the week progressed rains halted planting across much of Iowa for the week ending May 1, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Statewide there were only 2.0 days suitable for fieldwork. Cool and wet weather slowed crop emergence, and many reports indicate tile lines have been running steady.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 1 percent short, 74 percent adequate and 25 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 84 percent adequate and 15 percent surplus.

Statewide, just 17 percent

of the corn crop was planted during the past week. But with 57 percent of the crop planted, progress remained 1 day ahead of last year and 8 days ahead of the 5-year average. Farmers in north central and central Iowa have already planted over three-quarters of their corn crop.

Seven percent of the soybean acreage has been planted, 5 days ahead of the 5-year average. Ninety-six percent of the

State’s oat crop has been planted, 2 days ahead of last year and 2 weeks ahead of normal. Oats emerged reached 68 percent, 4 days ahead of the previous year and 8 days ahead of the average.

Pasture condition rated 65 percent good to excellent, while some reports indicated low-lying pastures were saturated with some flooding. Livestock conditions were reported as tough with windy, wet, and cool weather leaving feedlots saturated.

AMES — Renewable Energy Group, Inc. announced Monday the Company’s Danville, Ill. operation now has more than 14 million gallons of tank capacity to store both biodiesel and feedstocks.

Upgrades and improvements at Renewable Energy Group’s Danville, Ill. biorefinery include the addition of a distillation tower and approximately 14 million gallons of additional storage.

REG Danville, LLC recently purchased the tank complex at the adjacent Bunge Milling, Inc. facility for approximately $1.5 million. The tanks are being connected to REG Danville’s existing infrastructure and will increase the biorefinery’s storage capacity for feedstock by at least 950,000 gallons and biodiesel by up to 12 million gallons.

“This is another strategic investment into REG Danville that gives us greater flexibility for moving and storing feedstocks and our high quality biodiesel,” manufacturing vice president, Brad Albin said. “This and the ongoing upgrades will allow us to better serve our customers and vendors along the value chain.”

In July 2015, REG began a separate $31 million upgrade project at the multi-feedstock 45-million gallon nameplate capacity biorefinery that will add other logistics enhancements along with biodiesel distillation capabilities.

The upgrade project is scheduled to be completed later this year.

Spring walleye netting season sets record Newton Daily News The Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ spring fish spawning season is over and Iowa’s two walleye hatcheries are filled to capacity as netting crews collected enough walleye to produce 1,048 quarts of walleye eggs at the Spirit Lake hatchery and 846 quarts at the Rathbun hatchery.

This year’s catches — from East and West Okoboji Lakes, Spirit Lake, Storm Lake, Clear Lake, and Rathbun Lake from all the lakes combined — collected more than 249 million eggs. This Storm Lake total — more than 640 quarts of egg — beats the old record by 144 quarts.

Crews at Rathbun Lake observed good numbers of smaller fish (smaller than 24 inches) this season, not seen in previous years.

At Spirit Lake, fisheries staff netted more than 2,400 walleyes on Big Spirit Lake and East and West Okoboji lakes. The Spirit Lake Hatchery also cultures muskie and northern pike and DNR personnel collected 226 muskies providing eggs for hatching.

The DNR plans to release more than 149 million walleye fry in May. While the majority of walleyes are stocked as fry, some are cultured in Iowa DNR hatcheries and stocked at different sizes. More than 1.1 million two-inch walleyes are expected to be stocked into lakes, rivers, and streams across the state this summer. Larger 6-9 inch fingerlings (more than 340 thousand) will be stocked in lakes later this fall.

District administration offices, Basics & Beyond and the district’s Disciplinary Alternative Program (DAP) are all moving from Emerson Hough into the administration building this summer. The facility, at 1302 First Avenue West is best-known in Newton as the former HyVee West.

The building is expected to be turned over to the district around June 1, with the parking lot rebuilding to take place shortly thereafter. The move into the building is part of a delicately balanced set of moves this summer, with Emerson Hough returning to being a regular school as it becomes one of four K-4 campuses in the reconfigured district.

Mike Moran recently took over for Laura Selover as the Basics & Beyond principal. He has put considerable effort into coming up with suggestions for a new name for his school, which had 75 students as of the March 23 enrollment count. Basics & Beyond students earn credits at their own pace, and are still working toward regular diplomas that read “Newton High School.”

Cook said the subcommittee advised the board would not oppose any attempt by a program or school within the new building to rename itself.

The council also awarded the demolition and asbestos abatement contract for the former Juice and Junk property to Iowa Demolition, Inc. for just under of $69,500. The former Juice and Junk building along with the 10.49 acres surrounding the property was approved for acquisition at the March 7 council meeting.

With the purchase, the city intended to take down the former Juice and Junk building along with the 56 mini-storage units located in four separate buildings on the property.

Two additional properties needing asbestos abatement were also included in the contract. Before approved demolition of the D&D program property at 748 N. Third Ave. E. can be completed, asbestos in the structure must be removed.

Asbestos abatement is also needed in one of two abandoned pit toilet buildings in the southeast area of Maytag Park.

“Asbestos containing insulation and debris is present in said structure and needs to be removed for public safety,” Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik, who led Thursday’s council meeting, said. “The structure itself will not be demolished.”

The completion date for the Juice and Junk property is May

“The reward is seeing children loved by their moms,” Christensen said.

The center’s Earn While You Learn incentive program allows parents to study different curriculum and earn “Mommy Money” or “Daddy Dollars.” Those earnings can then be used to obtain items like cribs, car seats, clothing or necessities like diapers from the center’s store.

Baker said the store, which offers just about everything you need for a baby, is popular among their clients and is made possible by donations

from local churches, businesses and other donors.

Because of a confidentiality policy Baker declined a client interview request, but pointed to one of her favorite testimonials in the center’s pamphlet.

“The Pregnancy Center has been a wonderful and very helpful place for my children and me. They supply me with the things for everyday living such as diapers and clothing. It means so much to have somewhere to go when help is needed. The women that work at the center are

very nice and understanding. They take time to listen and answer questions if at all possible. God has truly blessed me by putting them in my life.”

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

can see a light at the end of the tunnel. After about a month and a half of construction our new living room is finished, pretty much.

When we first moved into our house, we decided to live in it a bit before deciding what work we might want to do. After a few months it became apparent we had no need for a sun room, and by taking down the wall in between, which also had three windows in it, we could have one large living room and dining area.

I must say, I got inpatient and tried to start demolition myself. My sad attempt was taking out the door between

the rooms. I really have no other skills that would help me take down a wall.

That move did spur my husband into action, and by Christmas we had a shell of a wall. Also, at about that time, my husband had to have surgery, so progress stalled until he could work again.

Fast-forward two and a half months, we had made it through surgery and spring craft show seasons and were ready to start work again. Thankfully, we have a front living area we could move into while the back of our house was unlivable.

Since mid-March, my husband, with a little help from me, put up a header, sheet rock and installed French doors,

new flooring and trim around the 12 windows and three doors in the room.

He also put in eight lights and replaced all of the power outlets. My part in the remodel was painting everything and staying out of his hair.

Week by week, everything came together and now the only piece left is moving back in.

I have been shopping for a new cabinet to put our television on for the last couple of months. Since we had put so much work and money into the new room, I didn’t want to skimp on the furniture that would be in it.

I found what I wanted online but wanted to look around Des Moines before I went the shipping route. Luckily, I found almost the exact same cabinet at Homemakers for a cheaper price.

Sunday, my husband and I went to pick up the cabinet and much to my dismay they had none in stock and the next order was planned for the end of

June. There was a floor model, and although they do not typically sell when the next order is so far out, for some reason they let me take it home.

I have also been searching for table chairs and a bench to go along with a dining table my dad is refinishing for us. So far I haven’t had any luck, but I am optimistic the perfect chairs will show up in time.

I couldn’t be more proud of my husband for the hard work he has put into the room. I don’t even begin to know how he did it and appreciate all of his hard work. Also to my mom for always keeping on top of cleaning up our messes. It has saved countless amounts of time.

Now with this project complete we are moving on to our next one, flooring in the rest of the house. I know my husband is jumping up and down excited.

Serbia elects the American President In Mladenovac, Serbia, a town not unlike Steubenville, Ohio, Luka Maksimovic and some of his bros started making videos poking fun at politicians. They’re all in their 20s, young guys with a video camera and probably a case or two of beer.

They invented Serbian politician Ljubisa Beli, a political fool who made his video appearances bare-chested on a white horse.

Beli was crude and dishonest, owned a shady business and loudly announced he had no intention of playing by the rules. He promised jobs everyone knew he couldn’t deliver. He even promised to make restaurants serve better sandwiches. He handed out forged college degrees to his supporters. I imagine he was a great hit with waiters and customers, two groups that include nearly everyone.

Mladenovac, where this all happened, is a decaying manufacturing town full of closed factories and people who feel like they’ve been hit from behind with a tire tool.

They can take a joke in Mladenovac. They have to because the jokes are all they have left. I live in a town like that in Massachusetts. I have a friend who does a dead-on impersonation of a junkie, high, bending slowly forward from the waist until his head touches his feet. Around here, we call that “the dope fiend lean.” My friend’s impersonation is hilarious, extremely cruel and very sad.

The Serb-bros must have had big fun in mom’s basement, making the video, laughing, not caring how many cigarettes they smoked because they’re still too young to wheeze.

The Balkan bros also ran for office and they won seats on the local version of an American city council. Fictitious character Beli also won, but he will not serve. One of the differences between American politics and Serbian politics is that fictional characters cannot hold office in Serbia. If America had that rule, Ronald Reagan would have died in the Second-Rate Old Actors Home.

The bros promise reform, and they promise to take it all seriously. One of the hardest parts of growing up is learning to take things seriously. Eventually, you get old enough to take everything seriously, which is the beginning of death.

In America, our Donald Trump is everything the fictional sleaze Beli is, except Trump is real, or at least he claims he’s real. Trump has even handed out the fake diplomas.

The factory jobs are gone from America, too, though Trump says he’ll bring ‘em back, presumably by going to China and telling them to give us back the jobs. If they won’t give the jobs back, he’ll bomb hell out of ‘em and take their women.

When the times were good in Mladenovac, nobody would have paid any attention to the videos made by a bunch of young guys all strung out on lack of respect and general goofiness. Instead, the citizens would have quietly elected some guy with an unmatched record of getting the garbage picked up and the snow plowed.

Some jokes don’t translate well. The Mladenovac joke does. It translates to Trump, who is fictional enough to laugh at, but real enough to elect.

O’Brien blood drive shows community spirit On behalf of LifeServe Blood Center and the thousands of patients’ we serve, thank you Bob O’Brien for organizing the Brendan O’Brien Memorial Blood Drive held on April 23. You had a wonderful turnout for this event.

Organizing a blood drive

An appendage of an empire I’m a nobody, but I’m terribly concerned for my country. I first got the idea of writing letters to the editor from the Lincoln-Douglas debate conducted by letters to the editor.

Thirty years ago, I was as naive as people reading this. God granted me the privilege of being exposed to the LaRouche group, led by Mr. and Mrs. LaRouche who have worked their lifetime for the good of the people.

The war drive was started by the Bush Administration but it has gone bonkers under Obama.

We are led to believe that we are fighting for our country. But not so, we are an appendage of an empire. Putin has demonstrated

shows your community spirit and dedication to helping others. Your generous contribution and continuous commitment to holding blood drives and saving lives is vital to maintaining an adequate blood supply.

The results show that 33 people registered, 23 of these individuals donated a pint of blood, two people gave double red cells, and there were 14 first time donors.

One pint of blood can save

three different patients. Red cells go to surgery or anemia patients, plasma to treat burns, and platelets for cancer patients.

After testing was completed we separated the blood into components. These components helped save the lives of 73 patients!

Thank you again for creating awareness about the need for blood donors.

that ISIS can be crushed and so there is now a ceasefire in Syria.

Obama’s dream of regime change in Syria has been crushed.

But now on behalf of her majesty the British Queen, Obama is threatening war on China in order to stop China’s economic development policy. The whole idea of this is to kill people, according to British thinking that our world population of 7 million needs to be reduced to 1 million.

Prince Philip and Prince Charles are explicit on this.

Our country from Lincoln to Kennedy fought and progressed for the good of mankind. But what is the population doing for the good for our country now?

Where is our leadership?

War and more war. Impeaching Obama for war crimes could change it all for the good of the

people world wide. Remember by our inaction, we have displaced thousands of people from their home and their countries. Our souls will answer for this action, or lack of it.

There is a solution to war. Pope Paul VI said, “the name of peace is development.” A blueprint for development exists, and, in fact half, the world is already implementing it. It is in the LaRouche report, “The New Silk Road becomes the World Landbridge.” In the fall of 2013, the President of China, Xi Jinping announced the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Maritime Silk Road as the official policy of China and invited the world — including to the United States — to join into this new trajectory for mankind.

Struggling sister should get help and get going DEAR ABBY: I have a hard time differentiating between enabling and just helping out my sister. Throughout her adult life, even while she was married, she has never been able to make ends meet.

She’s single now and in her 50s, a hardworking but underemployed, depressed individual. I have a good job and I feel guilty if I don’t help her each month. (She doesn’t ask, but drops enough hints that I know things aren’t going well.)

I have suggested repeatedly that she needs to find a better job. I even send her job leads, but I’m not sure she actually ever applies. My friends and relatives say I should use tough love and stop helping her. But I hate to see her struggle, and I don’t want her kicked out of her apartment.

I will be retiring soon and won’t be able to continue giving her money. What should I do? — SYMPATHETIC IN SAN DIEGO DEAR SYMPATHETIC: Have a frank talk with your sister NOW. Ask her how many of the leads you gave her were followed up on. Because you say she is chronically depressed, encourage her to see a doctor and find out what kind of help there is for her. It may be the reason for her divorce and for her inability to seek other work and improve her financial situation.

That you will no longer be able to continue assisting her financially is something your sister needs to know ASAP, so she won’t be cut off abruptly. This isn’t tough love; that you will be on a fixed income is a fact of life. You have been a wonderful sister. You have done more than many people would, so do not feel guilty for taking care of yourself.

DEAR ABBY: It has been eight years since my first love, “Oliver,” and I broke up. It was amicable and we both had closure. I have been in my current relationship for six years. We love each other very much and have two beautiful kids together.

I don’t often think about Oliver and we haven’t spoken since our split. But the crazy thing is, I dream about him constantly. The dreams are pretty tame and they don’t make sense. I don’t understand why this is happening. I know myself and I know I don’t miss Oliver. I’m happy in my current relationship. So what gives, Abby? — TROUBLED OUT WEST DEAR TROUBLED: I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about. I was taught years ago that the things we see in our dreams are manifestations of our subconscious and are not meant to be taken literally. What you are dreaming about may not actually be Oliver at all, but something he symbolizes. Perhaps it’s freedom, or youth — who knows?

But if the dreams persist and they bother you, I’m sure a couple of sessions with a licensed mental health professional would ease your mind.

SIOUX CITY — Some veterans have given themselves a new mission: restore the cannon at Memorial Park Cemetery in Sioux City.

Veterans of the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force met Friday at the cemetery to brainstorm ways to save the 4-ton artillery piece. The U.S. War Department awarded it in 1942 to the Sioux City chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart after the cannon’s World War I service. The chapter no longer exists.

DUBUQUE — A former Dubuque police officer who had sex with a 14-year-old he met online has been given a suspended prison sentence of 10 years. Kyle Cross also faces lifetime state supervision as a sex offender.

He’d pleaded guilty in March to sexual abuse after prosecutors dropped a second charge.

He was sentenced Monday in Dubuque. According to a criminal complaint, Cross and the girl acknowledged having sexual contact.

Grassley to make Newton stop as part of wind energy tour Newton Daily News

Bryon Houlgrave/The Des Moines Register via AP A bald eagle looks out over the water from a perch in a tree on last week in the backwaters of the Mississippi River near Lansing. The area in northeast Iowa has become a home for bald eagles as numbers of the predatory bird continue to grow around Lansing.

Bald eagles find home in refuge around northeast Iowa LANSING (AP) — An area in northeast Iowa has become a home for bald eagles as numbers of the predatory bird continue to grow around Lansing.

A nonprofit conservation group, Friends of Pool 9, found 91 active bald eagles’ nests, a number that has gradually grown in eight years, near Pool 9 on the Mississippi River.

“We have more eagles here by accident than most places have on purpose,” said Jim Janett, executive director of the Allamakee County Conservation Board.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist Drew Becker said that the habitat is welcoming to bald

eagles. Thousands of wild acres provide plenty of food, and the birds like to perch and nest in the big, old cottonwood trees lining the bank.

The agency manages the 240,000-acre Upper Mississippi Wildlife and Fish Refuge over 261 river miles Eagles’ staple food is fish, but they also eat waterfowl, snakes, turtles or carrion. With numerous interior rivers bordered by two of the nation’s largest rivers, Iowa became a magnet for the species.

Bald eagles were listed as an endangered species from 1967 until 2007. In 1963, just more than 400 nesting pairs of bald eagles remained in

the country. The pesticide DDT was found to weaken the eagle’s egg shells. DDT was banned in 1972, but the damage had already been done.

“I remember coming out in the 1970s, and it was a huge deal if you saw an eagle,” Janett said.

Richard King, manager of the McGregor District, which includes Pools 9, 10 and 11 of the Mississippi, said officials don’t manage the eagle population like they do deer.

“I expect the population to be at an all-time high,” King said. “At some point, the refuge will be saturated. We’ll see how many bald eagles we can support.”

U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley will make a stop in Newton Wednesday morning.

Grassley is scheduled to take questions and address the achievements of workers from TPI Composites and Trinity Structural Towers in Newton, who are helping fuel Iowa’s booming wind Grassley energy sector.

American Wind Energy Association CEO Tom Kiernan will speak on Iowa’s role in leading the national economic success story that wind energy has become, now up to a record 88,000 jobs and

the nation’s fastest-growing occupation, “wind turbine technician.”

Grassley will take questions from members of the press following the event.

Grassley and Kiernan will be on hand at 10 a.m. Wednesday at TPI Composites, 2300 N. 33rd Ave. E. in Newton.

Wind energy provided more than 31 percent of Iowa’s in-state electricity production in 2015, making it the first state in the U.S. to surpass the 30 percent mark. More than 6,000 Iowa wind workers have helped make that happen. Along the way, wind power has attracted nearly $12 billion in capital investment in the state, with more coming — including MidAmerican Energy’s recent announcement of the largest economic development project in Iowa’s history.

Study calls Dubuque County vulnerable for another rail spill DUBUQUE (AP) — A recent Iowa rail safety study says Dubuque County remains vulnerable to crude oil or biofuels spills more than a year after several railcars carrying ethanol derailed along the Mississippi River.

The state’s Department of Transportation and Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department released the study last week. It examines each county’s oil and ethanol transportation routes and volumes, previous incidence of spills, derailment and fire, likelihood of future incidents and public safety and en-

vironmental risk factors.

Dubuque County is one of several in eastern Iowa said to face a “high” risk.

Clayton, Delaware and Jackson counties each have a “medium” risk, and Jones County doesn’t have railroads carrying crude oil or biofuels.

Dubuque Fire Chief Rick Steines said that Dubuque County is especially vulnerable because of the amount of ethanol and crude oil that passes through the county as well as the number of streams and residents close to rail lines.

“There are a lot of

counties with just one rail line moving ethanol, but we have two,” Steines said. “Going through downtown Dubuque, as opposed to a rural area, makes it much harder to do an evacuation.

There’s a lot more people potentially affected.”

According to the study, more than 27 percent of the county’s 96,000-plus residents live within a half-mile of its 62 miles of active railroads, which see about seven crude oil and ethanol trains every day. Plus, many of the rail lines follow 26 miles of environmentally sensitive waterways and streams.

‘Book of Mormon’ starts next chapter of national tour in Des Moines

By Jessica Lowe Special to Newton Daily News One of Broadway’s most popular touring shows is returning to the Des Moines Civic Center today for an eightshow engagement.

“The Book of Mormon,” which holds the record for the largest weekly gross in the Civic Center’s history, is the story of two distinctly different Mormon missionaries who travel to Uganda to spread the good word. While in Uganda the missionaries — Elder Price (Ryan Bondy) and Elder Cunningham (Cody Jamison Strand) encounter challenges not only with the villagers they are trying to reach, but also with trying to understand and accept their own identities.

Candace Quarrels who plays Nabulungi, a Ugandan villager, said the show is for all adults, even those who do not think they like theater.

“I think it is so funny and brilliantly written

musical that people who don’t like musicals will like this one,” she said.

“The show is appealing to all audiences, except for children of course.”

The show created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone the brains behind “South Park” offers a night of music, laughs and entertainment.

Quarrels said the fact that the men behind the hit TV show are behind the hit Broadway musical offers a lot of laughs and addresses a number of political and social issues.

“Anything Trey and Matt do is special, a little offensive and a little crude,” Quarrels said. “But the show also makes you think and laugh about things that people don’t usually. It is such a political show.

It is funny but still hits on topics such as war, famine, religion and the AIDS epidemic in Uganda.”

The West Memphis, Ark., native said she was thrilled to learn she was being cast in the nine-

“It is a song and scene where we can cut loose and have fun as actors

on stage. I think the audience can feel how much fun we are having on stage,” she said. “It’s a scene that I would love even if I wasn’t in it. It is truly a privilege to be a part of this show.”

Quarrels and her fellow cast members will

take the stage at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 2 and 7:30 p.m.

IOWA CITY — More than 120 children may have received too much laughing gas during recent procedures at a University of Iowa clinic, the school said Monday.

Patients who received treatment at the school’s pediatric dentistry clinic in Iowa City between March 1 and April 20 have an “extremely small risk” of suffering any long-term health effects, the school said.

Associate dean for patient care Michael Kanellis said the university is unaware of what any long-term effects would be but wanted to be “very cautious and proactive” in the interest of patient safety. To that end, the dental school said that it was notifying affected families so that they could seek the appropriate evaluation and treatment, if necessary.

The university said the patients were given higher than intended amounts of nitrous oxide, which is known as laughing gas and is commonly used in dentistry as an anesthetic. The chemical is mixed with oxygen in an automated machine and then inhaled by patients, quickly sedating them.

During a recent remodeling of the clinic, a contract worker installing the nitrous oxide system accidentally switched the tubes carrying nitrous oxide and oxygen, the university said. A supervisor who inspected the installation didn’t catch the error.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry says the gas should be used on children who are anxious, have gag reflexes or are undergoing lengthy procedures. Most patients can achieve ideal sedation

with a solution containing 30 to 40 percent nitrous oxide. All should be given 100 percent oxygen for five minutes once the flow is terminated to help flush the gas from the lungs and return the patient to an alert state, its guidelines say.

The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting and headaches.

In letters sent to affected families last week, the university urged them to call with any questions and promised to “arrange for follow-up care if needed.”

“We regret that any patient within our care could possibly be affected by this situation and we apologize for any concern it causes you and your family,” the letter said. “We are absolutely committed to making sure you have the information and care you and your child need.”

The clinic opened March 1 and then discovered the problem April 20, halting the use of nitrous oxide and taking steps to correct it.

The system has since been certified as safe and no other university dental clinics were affected.

Hometown: Corning Late Friday night, May 21, 1993, Chad William White was shot to death in the Corning home he shared with his ancée, Dixie Kinser. Dixie, whose bridal shower was scheduled for the following day, survived the attack.

According to Chad’s brother Jason, Chad and Dixie had gone out riding on Jason’s motorcycle the night of the murder. At some point while they were gone, someone entered their home and waited in the bedroom with a 20-gauge shotgun. When they got home, the person came out of their bedroom and shot Chad in the head while he stood at the kitchen sink. Dixie screamed and turned and ran for the door. The person shot again but missed and hit the door frame. As Dixie was running out the door, he shot again and hit her in the back. She ew out and landed on the front lawn. The shooter came out the front door and ran off.

No one seemed to know whether Chad and Dixie were targeted specically or whether the murderer simply went to the wrong address.

Anyone with information about Chad William White’s unsolved murder is asked to contact the Adams County Sheriff’s Office at 641-322-4444.

Cardinal boys win LHC golf tourney title

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — After not being a factor in Little Hawkeye Conference boys’ golf for most of the years Newton High has been in the conference, Newton’s Cardinals claimed the 2016 Little Hawkeye Conference tournament championship Monday.

Newton’s boys had played Class 4A boys’ golf in the fall until this spring when they dropped into Class 3A golf, which is played in the spring. A year ago, the Iowa State High School Athletic Association allowed Newton to compete in the 2015 LHC tournament after playing Class 4A fall golf, which was the first conference tournament for the Cardinal boys.

The Cardinals tamed the Bos Laden Golf Course Monday with a four-player teams score of 327.

COLO — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls golf team shot its best score of the season Monday during a home triangular at Twin Anchors Golf Club.

The Raiders, though, are still trying to figure out how to avoid the big number.

CMB shot a season-best 216 but trailed Roland-Story by two strokes. Bondurant-Farrar finished third with a 228.

“It was not each of the girls’ best round of the year but collectively it was our best team score,” CMB coach Zach Hasselbrink said. “It sounds like a broken record, but once again, each of the girls had one or two holes that they wish they could get back.”

The Raiders were led by Abbie Ericson and Brynne Pritchard, who both shot a 50.

NHS girls’ golf team places second at LHC tourney

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News GRINNELL — For the second straight year, Newton High’s Cardinal girls claimed second at the Little Hawkeye Conference golf tournament. Pella’s Lady Dutch repeated as conference tournament champions with a 386 team score and the Cardinals posted a 405.

Pella is ranked No. 5 in Class 4A and Newton is ranked No. 8.

J. Reynolds Newton seniors Jessica Reynolds and Emily Fitzgerald earned All-Little Hawkeye Conference honors, placing in the top 12 individually. Reynolds chalked up a 91 on rounds of 45 and 46 to take runner-up honors.

Fitzgerald, who was two strokes away from Fitzgerald honors a year ago, ended up ninth with a 102 (52-50).

Grinnell sophomore Alisha Ford

was the conference meet medalist, shooting an 89. There was a tie for third in the team scores between Dallas Center-Grimes and Norwalk, each with a 431. Grinnell finished fifth with a 454 and Oskaloosa placed sixth at 474.

“Jessica got off to a good start with three straight pars on No. 3-4-5 holes,” Newton head coach Scott Enyart said.

“She finished well also with a nice tee shot on No. 17, a short par-3 hole, and two putted for par.”

Sophomore Taylor Dydell had two steady rounds of 53 to finish with a 106. She tied with teammate Jessie Smith, a senior, for 14th. Smith shot rounds of 54 and 52 for her 106.

Junior Lizzy Coyle carded a 115 (54-61) and sophomore Alayna Reynolds shot a 123 (56-67).

“We’re looking forward to three nice days of practice after going strong the past two weeks with meets,” Enyart said. “We can all take a breath, regroup and work on those areas we need improvement.”

ISU grants guard Cooke full release to transfer Newton Daily News AMES — Junior guard Hallice Cooke has decided Iowa State is no longer in his future plans.

Cooke is evaluating his options, and Iowa State and men’s basketball coach Steve Prohm has granted him his full release to pursue transfer opportunities.

“We appreciate the effort that Hallice has given our program,” Prohm said. “He is a good young man and our staff will do everything we can to assist him in finding the right fit.”

Cooke, a 6-foot-3 guard from Union City, N.J., saw action in 32 games and averaged 2.6 points per game. He transferred to Iowa State from Oregon State.

“I enjoyed my time at Iowa State and will cherish the relationships I made,” Cooke said. “At this time, I am looking to find a better fit for me personally. I’d like to thank the Cyclone fans for their support the last two years.”

CMB soccer can’t keep up with Bobcats

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MAXWELL — It didn’t take long for the Marshalltown boys soccer team to get out in front of Collins-Maxwell/Baxter during a non-conference match Monday evening.

The Bobcats jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the first four minutes and never let up off the gas during a 17-0 victory.

Marshalltown scored its first goal 26 seconds into the match, made it 2-0 less than three minutes in and Keven Nunez scored his team-high fourth goal of the season with a second straight conversion with 37:30 still on the clock in the first half.

Julio Gonzalez scored for the first time this season. He had four second-half goals, including the final three goals of the match.

Chum Ling, Trevor Fuccio and Adrian Ramirez all scored two goals apiece in the win.

The Bobcats outshot the Raiders 52-3 in the match. Twenty-nine of those shots were on goal. CMB junior Drake Ross played the first half in goal and had six saves, while freshman Brendyn Padget was the second-half goalie, and he finished with six saves.

The Raiders dropped to 2-7 on the season.

It was their fourth straight loss. Marshalltown won its second straight match and is now 3-5 on the year.

CMB plays at 7 p.m. Friday at Des Moines Christian. The Raiders take part in the Waverly-Shell Rock tournament at 9 a.m. Saturday.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter freshman Peyton Johnston sends the ball down the field against Marshalltown in Maxwell on Monday. The Bobcats won the match, 17-0.

CMB boys finish third at TCI

Continued from Page 1B was the eight she shot on the par 4 No. 1.

Courtney Clapper had a counting score of 56. She had a par on the par 3 No. 2 but her first hole and last hole created some trouble.

The final counting score for CMB was a 60 from Katie Garber.

Payton Cory turned in a 66, while Jaydan Moffet finished with a 90.

“I was proud of each of the girls for their resilience,” Hasselbrink said.

“They all bounced back after big numbers. I think we are getting stronger at the mental part of the game as the year progresses. This round was a great way to head into our conference meet on Wednesday.”

Wednesday at Cedar Pointe Golf Course in Boone.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News POLK CITY — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter boys golf team got a good look at the course it will be playing the Heart of Iowa Conference tournament on.

It should help the Raiders improve upon Monday’s score of 232.

That put CMB in third place in a road triangular at the Tournament Club of Iowa. Van Meter won the meet with a 161, while host North Polk finished second.

Junior Caleb Van Zante shot a 47 to lead the Raiders despite running into trouble on hole No. 6.

“Caleb also had a lot of makeable putts that didn’t seem like they wanted to fall tonight,” CMB coach Luke Crouse said. “He played a lot better than his score suggests. Having played TCI today, ahead of the conference meet tomorrow, will help Caleb make some adjustments to lower that score.”

Senior Brady Stover shot a 60 to place second the team, while junior Ricky White carded a 62 and freshman Austin Good and senior Nate Bishop both finished with counting scores of 63.

Senior Hunter Gunderson turned in a non-counting 68.

“Ricky, Austin and Nate also will benefit playing the course today as their scores could be much better than what they were today,” Crouse said. “I think the intimidation factor of TCI really came into effect today.

“Their play made the course look harder than what it is. I’m hoping they take the course head on and improve tomorrow at conference.”

CMB heads back to TCI for the HOIC meet at 9 a.m. Tuesday.

The Raiders play at 4 p.m. Thursday at West Marshall.

After strides at Michigan, former Iowa QB Rudock gets NFL shot with Lions ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — After his first game at Michigan last season, it was hard to tell if Jake Rudock would even make it through the year as the starting quarterback, much less play his way into an NFL opportunity.

A lot changed during his brief stint with the Wolverines.

Rudock was drafted in the sixth round Saturday by the Detroit Lions, an impressive accomplishment for a player who took a while to win over Michigan fans but ended up making significant strides under coach Jim Harbaugh. The Lions hadn’t drafted a quarterback since taking Matthew Stafford No. 1 overall in 2009.

“When I sat down with Jake I really saw a passionate football guy that is very smart, very attentive,” Lions general manager Bob Quinn said. “I really think the bottom line is, when we worked him out I really came

away impressed about how he threw the ball.”

Rudock transferred from Iowa to Michigan for his final college season, but amid all the excitement about Harbaugh’s arrival last year, the Wolverines lost their opener at Utah, with Rudock throwing three interceptions. Although Michigan won five straight games after that, much of the credit went to the defense.

By the time the season ended, however, Rudock had completed 64 percent of his passes, for 3,017 yards with 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions.

In his final college game, he threw three touchdown passes in Michigan’s 41-7 rout of Florida in the Citrus Bowl.

“Coach (Jedd) Fisch, Coach Harbaugh, Coach (Tim) Drevno, those guys, they really train us like NFL players,” Rudock said. “They really preach that and have us study what the NFL

guys do and how well they do it.”

Quinn is in his first season as general manager of the Lions, and his arrival may signal a change in the way Detroit approaches the quarterback position. Quinn says he thinks it’s “good football business” to draft a quarterback about every other year.

Since overcoming some injury problems early in his career, Stafford has faced no real challenges to his starting job in Detroit. Rudock doesn’t seem likely to change that right away, but he’ll have an opportunity to develop.

Rudock’s experience playing a pro style made him a slightly more attractive prospect.

“I think, you know, college football nowadays, there’s a lot of quarterbacks that never go under center,” Quinn said. “It does factor in and helped his cause.”

Hammel improves to 4-0 in Cubs’ win over Pirates

NASCAR photo Dale Earnhardt Jr, driver of the No. 88 Nationwide Chevrolet, has an on track incident during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday in Talladega, Ala.

Column: NASCAR’s Talladega wreckfest comes at a price

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Nobody needs to be reminded that racing is inherently dangerous. We all know drivers assume the risks. It’s understood that no one forces a driver to compete.

That shoulder-shrug approach doesn’t make the scorecard from Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway any easier to accept.

The delicate line between sport and entertainment was dangerously straddled by 40 drivers roaring along in a pack of cars at 200 mph.

When the dust settled, 35 cars had been involved in at least one accident and two cars went airborne. When Kevin Harvick’s car lifted off the track in a last-lap crash, it finally put an end to the chaos.

Yes, driver after driver exited their race car unharmed.

Save for some bruises to her arms and legs and soreness when she took her breath, Danica Patrick scrambled to safety following the most frightening crash of her career.

So, yes, we celebrate on Monday that no one was injured, and better yet, no one died in the carnage that was a typical Talladega race.

But all that wrecking came at a price.

The cost of damaged race cars on Sunday neared $10 million in losses across the grid, according to an informal survey Monday by The Associated Press of five top race teams. Within that series-wide estimate, some teams estimated they lost $500,000 per car — total loss situations — while others estimated $250,000 without including any engine damage.

Those losses, the terrifying tumbles taken by Chris Buescher and Matt Kenseth, the hard licks into the wall, the parking-lot effect from a 21-car accident, all of it is accepted as part of the show.

Racing at Daytona and Talladega, the only two tracks in NASCAR that require the use of horsepower-sapping restrictor plates to slow the cars, simply is what it is.

That’s all fine and well because everybody knows what they signed up for, right?

Not exactly.

Cars should not be going airborne anymore. IndyCar faced this same issue in the buildup to the Indianapolis 500 last year, when three cars took flight in terrifying crashes.

Rules were immediately implemented to keep the cars on the track, and IndyCar again issued a mandate in car design for this month’s race.

NASCAR is in the same position and went to work

Monday studying the wrecks to see what can be altered to keep cars from lifting off the track.

“We never want to see cars get up in the air,” Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR’s chief racing development officer, told AP. Improved communication between NASCAR, owners and drivers should lead to solutions. O’Donnell said the new collaboration gives NASCAR a new “ability to work with the race teams and their top engineers” on how to keep cars on the track.

Kyle Busch, who broke his leg and foot in a crash at Daytona last year, said after his second-place finish Sunday that he’d rather stay home than participate in plate races.

Third-place finisher Austin Dillon admitted: “We all have to do it; I don’t know how many really love it.”

Dillon walked away from a frightening airborne accident on the last lap of last July’s race at Daytona, an incident he said is “not a fun thing to be a part of.” He has faith that NASCAR understands the drivers’ concerns.

“I know NASCAR will put their efforts toward fixing it,” he said. “They’ve made the car safer. That’s the reason why we’re walking away from these crashes. I think as a group, all of us want it to be where we’re not leaving the ground.”

Kansas City Chiefs exercise fifth-year option on Eric Fisher KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have exercised their fifthyear option on left tackle Eric Fisher, which means the former No. 1 overall draft pick is scheduled to make $11.9 million during the 2017 season.

The Chiefs had until Monday to decide on the option, which becomes fully guaranteed next March.

Chiefs general manager John Dorsey has said he would like to sign Fisher to a long-term deal, and the decision to pick up the pricey option may simply be part of the negotiation process.

Fisher had a disappointing first two seasons in the NFL, and some were quick to label the Central Michigan product a bust. But the 6-foot-7, 305-pound lineman appeared to break through last season, even shutting down Texans star pass rusher J.J. Watt during their playoff game.

“I see myself on a steady incline,” Fisher said during a recent interview. “I’m look-

ing to pick up where I left off, continue to grow and stay on a steady rise throughout my career. If I can do that 10 more years, however many more years, I’m looking forward to it.”

The Chiefs still allowed quarterback Alex Smith to get sacked 45 times last season, but Fisher was hardly the reason for it. Kansas City had to shuffle elsewhere along the offensive line as it dealt with a series of injuries, while Fisher remained a constant — he appeared in all 16 regular-season games.

In fact, health had been a big issue for him early in his career.

Fisher dealt with a shoulder injury that required a lengthy rehab, and had also dealt with other minor injuries that held him back.

“That shoulder surgery is quite a long recovery. This year felt that much better,” he said. “I feel great right now, I feel real strong, nothing’s holding me back.”

The Chiefs only drafted one offensive lineman among their nine selections last weekend, and that was Cincinnati’s Parker Ehinger. He played left tackle in college, but projects as a guard in the NFL. They signed Mitchell Schwartz in free agency, but he figures to play right tackle.

So, the Chiefs appear to be planning on Fisher being around for a while, and just as he’s starting to come into his own. The way he played in the Chiefs’ playoff victory over Houston — and the mean streak that he displayed against Watt — was a sign that Fisher is developing into a stalwart offensive tackle.

“Yeah, I thought that was a real fun game for me,” he said. “It almost seemed like a little bit of a turning point in my career. It was nice to get going — especially here in the playoffs, round one. And then (winning) the first playoff game in quite some time around here was a big accomplishment.”

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jason Hammel raised his record to 4-0 and Anthony Rizzo hit two doubles as the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-2 on Monday night.

Hammel’s ERA rose to 1.24 after entering the game with a National League-leading 0.75 mark. He gave up two runs and five hits in five-plus innings with three strikeouts and one walk. His streak of five straight starts of allowing one run or fewer ended.

The Cubs improved to 186, tops in the major leagues, and avoided losing consecutive games for the first time this season while winning for the fifth time in six games.

Nationals 2, Royals 0 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Gio Gonzalez and the Washington bullpen combined on a five-hitter, Ryan Zimmerman and Daniel Murphy drove in first-inning runs and the Nationals beat Kansas City.

Gonzalez (2-1) scattered four hits and a pair of walks over six innings in his latest smooth start. He’s only allowed four earned runs combined in his first five outings.

Sammy Solis needed eight pitches for a spotless seventh, and Shawn Kelley and Oliver Perez combined to strike out three straight after a leadoff double in the eighth.

Mets 4, Braves 1 NEW YORK (AP) — David Wright, Yoenis Cespedes and Lucas Duda hit home runs in the first inning as New York teed off, sending Bartolo Colon and the Mets over Atlanta for their ninth win in 10 games.

The Mets’ homer barrage came in a span of 16 pitches.

The Braves have hit just five homers all season, by far the fewest in the majors for the team with the worst record in the big leagues.

A few weeks shy of his 43rd birthday, Colon (2-1) pitched eight scoreless innings.

Cardinals 10, Phillies 3 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Adam Wainwright pitched six innings and hit a three-run home run — the first of five

for St. Louis — as the Cardinals snapped a four-game losing streak.

Matt Adams, rookie Aledmys Diaz and Randal Grichuk added solo homers and Kolten Wong hit a two-run homer to help St. Louis overcome a 3-0 deficit and avoid its first five-game slide since losing seven straight from July 26-31, 2013.

Wainwright, who has struggled since missing most of last season with an Achilles tendon injury, has won two straight. Wainwright (2-3) was the last Cardinals pitcher to get a win after yielding four runs over 5 1/3 innings in an 11-4 rout at Arizona on April 27.

In this victory, Wainwright pitched six innings, allowing three runs and five hits. He improved to 6-2 in 11 career starts against the Phillies.

Twins 6, Astros 2 HOUSTON (AP) — Brian Dozier broke out of a slump with three hits and Minnesota snapped Dallas Keuchel’s 17-game home winning streak with a victory over Houston.

Keuchel (2-4) allowed five runs on five hits with three strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings and struggled with his command for the third time this season, walking five. The Cy Young winner hadn’t lost at home since Aug. 10, 2014, against Texas.

Giants 9, Reds 6 CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati roughed up Johnny Cueto in his return to Great American Ball Park, but San Francisco rallied against the Reds’ historically bad bullpen, riding Brandon Crawford’s three-run homer to a victory.

Joey Votto hit a three-run homer as the Reds piled up six runs in the third inning off Cueto The Reds’ bullpen tied history while letting a 6-3 lead slip away.

Brandon Belt and Gregor Blanco singled in runs off J.C. Ramirez (0-2) in the seventh. Crawford connected off Drew Hayes for his third homer and an 8-6 lead.

Sure, Mercury is still retrograde (as are Mars, Jupiter and Saturn), and our sense of progress is all out of whack. But that doesn’t mean these times are any less auspicious, not with the exciting connection that the Taurus sun has planned with Jupiter. The earth-sign trine brings tangible evidence that our passionate dreams really can come true.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 3). There’s a kind of rage in you this year -- a fire that burns in your belly and won’t let you quit even when it seems quitting is the sensible thing to do. You’ll reach a personal goal by the end of July. August represents a turning point for

your family, and some of the struggles you’ve been dealing with will finally be behind you for good. Capricorn and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 11, 25, 48 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

One sign of deep affection is the ability for partners to relax around one another. Another sign is the resistance to relaxation, wanting to continually impress and improve for your love. You’ll dally in both sides of affection.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Awkward stages happen to all. Furthermore, everyone is weird in some regard. You see beauty in this. Your hospitable demeanor is comforting to one who sorely needed comfort, and it’s attractive to all.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have your eye on a role you’re not exactly qualified to play. It’s what ambitious people do and it’s how you grow. A low-grade razzle-dazzle may be all the distraction you need to get your foot in the door.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You will skillfully calibrate a person’s interest level and then match it with a response that will ratchet that interest up a few notches. That’s real talent there, and you’ll be paid well for it, too.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you knew that your fond dream would come true eventually, would that allow you to relax and enjoy what’s unfolding right now? Trust that the future favors you so you can pay more attention to today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To volunteer or not to volunteer -that is the question. “Not” is the answer, unless you’re strongly

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). So much of who you are is coming from a deeply entrenched moral belief, a moral belief that someone close to you does not share. Today this could cause an interesting intellectual clash.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

More spontaneity is what’s needed, and you probably know just the character who will give this to you, too. This person makes an art form out of the pursuit of happiness, and when you’re around this person you’ll follow suit.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It feels like the work is being put upon you, like the meal comes with the package deal, like the circumstances are dictated by another. Is that really so? Or do you have choices you’re not seeing? (Yes!) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Nothing fits its definition completely, and that goes for

Freshmen win tennis matches for Newton

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SAYDEL — Freshmen Collin Hemann and Brady Eberline not only played their first varsity singles matches for Newton High’s Cardinals Monday, but they won. It was the only victories for Newton in the non-conference dual against host Saydel.

“They moved up the ladder because a few members of the team missed the meet for a choir concert. They did a great job stepping up to the challenge,” Newton head coach John Bieber said of the two freshmen.

Eberline defeated Alex Stanton, 8-6, at No. 5 singles while Hemann had the same winning score at No. 6 singles over Saydel’s Alex Condon.

The Eagles beat the Cardinals 7-2 overall in the dual.

Hemann and Eberline played a tough No. 3 doubles match against Stanton and Condon. Stanton and Condon came out on top, 9-8.

At No. 1 singles, junior Seamus Vandemore lost 8-0 to Saydel’s Jacob Philipsen.

Newton trap shooters have solid outing

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — There is correlation between good weather and good scores for the members of the Newton Trap Team. On one of the few good late afternoons this spring, Newton competed in a trap meet at Marshalltown’s Marshall County Gun Club Monday.

“We finally had some good weather and the team members, for the most part, shot some of their best scores so far this season,” Newton coach Paul Klein said. “You can see by our results we had several shooters posting some really good scores.”

Newton competed against host South Hardin, the Marshall County Central Iowa Straight Shooters, Roland Story and Ballard.

The Cardinals’ team of Matt Bleakney, Logan Zaabel, Nathan Tremel, Bryce Romick and Brian Bleakney placed fourth out of 14 squads. The five shooters combined for a

score of 198 — 17 clay pigeons out of first place.

Newton’s top individual shooter in the male senior division was Dawson Cobler, who hit 45 targets to tie for six place out of 66 shooters. Brian Bleakney recorded a 44 to tie for 10th place.

Allison Winchell was Newton’s high-score female shooter. Winchell hit 28 targets to place fifth out of 11 female competitors.

“Several of our varsity members have the ability to post some very good scores ,as long as they put their mind to it and focus one target at a time,” Klein said.

“I was really happy with our results tonight, and I hope they continue to shoot as well through the remainder of the season.”

Newton competes 9 a.m.

Saturday in a trap shoot hosted by Ankeny at the Jasper County Gun Club in Newton.

Cardinal senior Derek Damman earned All-Little Hawkeye Conference honors for the second year. Damman, who finished fifth last year, shot a 78 on rounds of 38 and 40. Damman placed third individually Monday.

“This couldn’t have happened to a better group of young men. I am proud to be their coach,” Riley said. “They still have a couple goals yet to accomplish, and I believe they can do it. This was certainly a team effort today as we needed good scores out of all of them.”

Newton hosts a Little Hawkeye Conference dual with Dallas Center-Grimes next. The teams tee off at 4:15 p.m. Thursday at Newton’s Westwood Golf Course.
