Supervisors to consider final resolution for resurfacing project

After receiving initial approval last June, County Engineer Russ Stutt will present the Jasper County Board of Supervisors a final resolution for the road resurfacing project set to take place on County Blacktop T22/Image Avenue near Kellogg.

“Image Avenue, which is a short stretch just west of Kellogg, has gotten to be in pretty bad shape,” Stutt told the board during a June meeting last year.

Stutt is also asking for approval from the board for several bids.

His first request is for a new tandem straight truck, which is a heavy to medium duty truck capable of hauling up to 15 tons. The lowest bid comes from Des Moines-based Housby Mack for $82,703.92.

In his request for a new dump truck body, Stutt only received a response from one of the three companies he submitted bids to. Manchester-based Henderson Truck Equipment submitted a bid of

$51,440.

Considering how the last two winters have gone, Stutt’s final bid could have the most direct impact for the citizens of Jasper County. Stutt is seeking rock salt bids for the 2014-15 winter season. Under the bidding procedure, rock salt delivery would begin September 2014 and end in May 2015.

The amount of salt Stutt put out for bid was 1,500 tons. Independent Salt, based out of Kanapolis, Kan. presented a low bid of $73.63 per ton. Independent was also the county’s salt provider for the 2013-14 winter season.

Stutt’s final request from the supervisors on Tuesday will be to set a temporary speed limit of 35 mph during construction from South 48th Avenue East to Kennel Avenue in the Richland Township of Jasper County. If approved, the temporary speed limit would remain in effect until a resolution is passed to change it.

Kate Malott/ Daily News Sara Guthrie and her youngest daughter, Sophia, look at plants at the Project AWAKE annual plant sale that took place this weekend. The sale had a large attendance this year, taking place Friday and Saturday. Plants and flowers were donated by local florists, and all proceeds go to help fund the Newton Arboretum.

May is National Foster Care Month, a time to rethink what it means to make a difference in kids’ lives in one of the most challenging and rewarding ways: providing homes to the more than 6,000 teens and children currently in Iowa’s foster care system.

Thanks to the many Iowans who already serve as foster parents, as caregivers and in other supporting roles, each year many children and teens are safely reunited with their parents, cared for by relatives or adopted into loving families.

Empty Nest

From beauty school to business owner “The best way to predict your future is to create it.” — Abraham Lincoln Rhonda Pieper (pictured at right) of Donnellson gets her business management skills from her father, her adopted father.

Bob Bixenman owned Bix Basement Systems in Ft. Madison, and Rhonda observed and listened to him while she was growing up. She remembers him saying, “It takes money to make money.”

Upon graduation from Aquinas High School in Ft. Madison, she spent a year at the University of Iowa. She returned to Ft. Madison to attend Bill Hill’s College of Cosmetology, and to be

By Curt Swarm closer to her soon-toGuest Columnist be husband, Frank, who worked for her father.

After graduation, Rhonda worked at a beauty salon in Ft. Madison for a year, then, at the tender age of 21, bought her own salon. She’s never looked back. Oh, there are bad days, but they are outweighed by the good. Her husband quips, “Some days she wants to sell, the next day it’s great!”

In her salon, Midtown Hairstyling, in Ft. Madison, she has four stylists, including herself. Unusual for a small business, especially a beauty salon, she provides health insurance for her employees. An obvious sign of a good work environment, one of her stylists has been with her 11 years, because Rhonda is, “Fair and thoughtful.”

Over the 34 years that Rhonda has been in business, 25 or so stylists have worked for her. One of Rhonda’s most stressful times was when three stylists left her over a period of two months to open their own salons.

But that was the way she got started, so she couldn’t complain. The training of new stylists was hard work, but she always learned something new.

In addition to hair styling, Midtown also offers tanning, manicures and pedicures. Rhonda finds the pedicures to be the most relaxing. The pedicures are done in a quiet room by itself, and she has time to spend with the customer, some of them she has known for years. She sees customers in their good times and bad. They come in to have their hair and nails done for funerals, proms, graduations, weddings, you name it.

Some of her long-time customers bring her little gifts which she really appreciates.

Rhonda’s is a master with color — she can change someone’s appearance. A makeover! The color change takes time, and there are transition shades, which can be scary, like orange, when changing someone from brunette to blonde. But the end product is something to behold.

Of course, there are stories, and funny things can happen. They have taken to keeping a notebook of the interesting incidents and what people say: “Can you do my hair right now? OK, I’ll be right back, I have to run an errand.” Or, “I need a hairdo to fit around these head phones.”

The business is a joint effort by she and her husband, Frank, who works at Climax Molybdenum in Ft. Madison. He’s the “Mr. Fix-it” around the shop, which is invaluable. He also farms.

How to run a business was not taught by the college of cosmetology. Rhonda learned that from her dad, and the school of hard knocks. One time there was a salesperson offering advertising on phone-book covers. She wrote a check for $300, and called her father to let him know that he might want to invest, too. Her father told her it was a scam, and to stop payment on the check. Too late, the check had already been cashed. She has since learned that her money is much better spent on community and school activities.

Rhonda is occasionally called into funeral homes to do the hair of a deceased person. She was prepared when her mother passed away. She and her sister, who is also a beautician, did her mother’s hair and nails, and dressed her. After all, they had been doing their mother’s hair all along, and they wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to do it.

It was their last gift to their mother.

The Scoop

Dream Big, Class of 2014 The Class of 2014 will graduate from high school on the heels of welcome news that fewer of their peers are dropping out of school. Recently released data from the U.S. Department of Education show America hit its highest-ever high school graduation rate when the Class of 2012 topped 80 percent. Even more impressively, Iowa ranked highest in the nation with an 88 percent success rate at keeping kids in school through graduation.

This is good news. It shows a commitment by parents and educators to give the next generation a strong start to become p r o d u c t i v e By Chuck Grassley c o n t r i b u - United States Senator tors of society. America’s posterity will be shaped by the choices Millennials make to embrace and protect the blessings of economic freedom and individual liberty as they come of age in the 21st century.

Friends and family look forward to celebrating this milestone with the Class of 2014 in communities across Iowa. Parents have plenty to celebrate. Since 1960, the USDA has compiled data on what it costs to raise a child in the United States. Child-rearing costs have seen an average annual increase of 4.4 percent. The USDA’s most recent report projects parents would spend $241,080 to raise a child born in 2012 from birth to age 17.

If only sticker shock stopped on graduation day. Some students may already have a taste of debt with monthly car payments.

Others may have hefty tuition bills on their horizon. A growing share of college-bound students takes out financial aid and graduates with an average $27,000 debt. Today the nation’s student loan portfolio is a whopping $1 trillion and many predict a likelihood of significant default, putting taxpayers on the hook yet again.

This spring I introduced bipartisan legislation to help families comparison shop for colleges.

The bill would update and standardize requirements for colleges to make available a net price calculator, an online tool to make it easier for students to better estimate and compare what they would pay at schools they are interested in attending.

Even without student loans, the Class of 2014 enters the “real world” already saddled with debt, their portion of the federal debt. The $17.5 trillion federal IOU boils down to nearly $55,000 for every man, woman and child in America. Before landing their first job after high school, these graduates have inherited an expensive tab.

However, the debt burden is not the only reason this generation will struggle to get a foothold in the economy.

Economic growth hasn’t kept pace and the result is shrinking opportunities and dreams for would-be entrepreneurs, job creators and workers struggling to find full-time employment. The labor force participation rate is the worst in four decades and entry-level job applicants find themselves competing with overqualified candidates for work.

Tax, spend and borrow policies in Washington are driving up debt instead of recharging what drives U.S. economic growth.

Rather than giving the green light to job-creating policies, such as simplifying the tax code, making the corporate tax burden more competitive in the global economy, fighting for trade promotion authority, approving the Keystone XL pipeline and going after homegrown energy whole hog, allies of Big Government support forcing small businesses to give raises they can’t afford, controlling the delivery of health care in America and dictating regulatory burdens that make it harder for businesses to grow, hire, expand and invest.

Overpromising, overreaching and overspending occur at the expense of future generations.

Policies that push wealth redistribution and unsustainable entitle-

ments are unraveling the merits of America’s success story handed down for generations: that big dreams, hard work, sacrifice and ambition would be rewarded with unlimited opportunity. The heavy-handed levers of government-knows-best are uprooting America’s “sky’s the limit” mindset. Fostering a culture of dependence and entitlement instead of self-sufficiency and hard work goes against America’s grain.

So, I challenge the Class of 2014 to help put America back on track. Whether choosing to enter the workforce, obtain vocational training, pursue higher education, volunteer, or serve one’s country, it’s more important than ever for our youngest generations to dream big and understand the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.

That’s why I make it a priority to foster robust representative government and strengthen civics education. That includes visiting regularly with students in their schools. I want to hear what’s on their minds and challenge them to get involved and tune in to current events. Recently I cosponsored a bipartisan resolution that affirms the importance of teaching civics education in our schools. It puts the U.S. Senate on record that we must reinforce the principles of self-government so future generations will understand how to hold government to account.

Research shows an erosion of basic knowledge about our constitutional government, such as the natural rights set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the functions of the three branches of government. And growing cynicism about the institutions of government and public service reflect a growing disconnect between “we the people” and the healthy functioning of self- governance. Apathy is damaging to the crop of new graduates who will sow the seeds of America’s prosperity for posterity.

Dream big, Class of 2014. As farmers working the fields this spring have known for generations, you will reap what you sow.

EPIC IOWA Tour Bus visits Newton

Supervisors Continued from Page 1A In other business, the board will hear separate requests from the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office and Jasper County Elderly Nutrition for various food service contracts.

Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty will ask the board to approve a one-year contract renewal with CBM Managed Services, of Sioux Falls, S.D., to provide food services for the Jasper County Jail. If approved, the new contract would run retroactively from April of this year and expire on March 31, 2015.

The cost of the contract is dependent on the number of inmates at the jail. For example, if there are between 25 and 30 inmates, the county pays $3.15 per meal. If the jail population were more than 81 inmates, the county would pay as little as $1.59 per meal.

Kelli Van Manen, elderly nutrition director, will ask the board to approve a two-year contract for her department and Aging Resources of Central Iowa. ARCI is an agency dedicated to supporting citizens over the age of 60 by procuring funds from various sources and disbursing them to partner agencies.

If approved, the amount ARCI would allocate to the county would be dependent on the amount of funds it raises and the contract would go into effect on July 1, 2014, and end on June 30, 2016.

In other business: • Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce Director Darrell Sarmento will provide an update on Newton’s Main Street program. He will also request permission to use the Jasper County Court House Lawn for the city’s annual Fourth of July Parade and community events.

“What many people don’t realize is that there is no one model of a foster family. Adults can be single or married, homeowners or renters, already have children or not.

“Entering foster care is hard on all kids, but keeping children connected to their families, friends and community when they enter foster care can ease the transition and minimize trauma,” Lewis said. “By helping kids stay with siblings and keep ties to their culture, foster

care plays an important role in helping entire families move toward wholeness.”

Beach bully kicks sand in friend’s vacation plans DEAR ABBY: For the last few years my family has rented the same beach condo. My friend “John” and his family have joined us there on many occasions.

When I asked him his vacation plans for this year, he informed me last night that he has rented the beach condo for the same weeks we have historically occupied it.

I was floored. I think a more appropriate approach would have been for him to have called me first and expressed his interest in renting it, but he should not have rented the unit if it conflicted with our vacation plans.

I understand the free marketplace — first-come, first-served — but I can’t help feeling he undercut me. — CONFUSED IN A TENT AT THE BEACH DEAR CONFUSED: Your feeling is 100 percent accurate. That weasel DID undercut you, and real friends don’t act that way. Now that you know what he’s capable of, contact the landlord and make a long-term deal in advance if you want that unit in the future.

DEAR ABBY: I am a lonely 83-year-old woman. All I want is someone to love me, preferably a handsome, wealthy man who will spoil me. I have spent my entire life making other people happy, and now all I want is some happiness back. I mean, can’t an older woman get some loving, too?

I have been told I’m charming. I have the laugh of an angel, a full head of blond/gray hair and a slim figure.

I would like a man (preferably in his elderly years) who is lonely and needs some company. And also someone who wants to spend his savings on me. Abby, help me find my soul mate. — WAITING FOR “GOT-DOUGH” DEAR WAITING: Why do I suspect this letter may have been written by a group of sorority sisters after a few drinks? However, just in case it’s actually on the level, your “want ad” has now been viewed by millions of Dear Abby

readers worldwide, and I’m sure we will hear from many applicants who are eager to be “The One.” Let’s hope none of them write from “Scam-dinavia.”

DEAR ABBY: My daughter-inlaw is having a baby. My mother and I told her we would have a shower for her. She registered at a local store for baby gifts, let us start planning the shower, and then informed us that she would not be opening gifts at the party.

My son has sided with her. He said he didn’t know her reason, but felt like it was no big deal.

Why would she act that way? We think it’s peculiar. The shower has now been canceled at her request. — MYSTIFIED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR MYSTIFIED: Your daughter-in-law may have been trying to be considerate of any guests — possibly members of her family — whose gifts might not have been as expensive as those purchased or crafted by other guests. Or she may have felt self-conscious about being the center of attention.

While I agree that one of the pleasures of attending a shower is seeing the expression of joy on the mother-tobe’s face as the presents are unwrapped, look at it this way: Because the shower is canceled, your problem is solved.

Now forget about it.

“They were tied for second place with only one loss, losing a close match to Grinnell,” said Newton head coach Erick Zehr of Oskaloosa. “They were one of the last major contenders for us to deal with in the regular season, and since they have a very unique play style. They are al-

ways an interesting matchup. They crash the net often and have a very aggressive play style, which is normally very effective in girls tennis.”

Newton Trap Team hosts meet

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor

Zach Johnson/Daily News Newton’s Jake Huizenga takes his turn in shooting at clay targets during a round of the high school trap shoot Saturday at the Jasper County Gun Club. The Newton Trap Team, a high school club team, hosted a shoot with three other teams.

Newton’s varsity squad finished third.

NEWTON — Breaking 199 out of 250 possible clay targets, Newton Trap Team’s varsity shooters finished third at its home meet Saturday. The trap shoot was held at Jasper County Gun Club with teams from Newton, Baxter Trapshooting, B-G-M Shotgunners and Madison County Clay Crushers competing.

B-G-M won the varsity competition, hitting 215 out of 250 targets, while Madison County placed second, 212 out of 250.

Kayla Klein and Alexander Fretel led the Newton varsity squad. Klein broke 41 out of 50 targets, placing second among female shooters. Fretel broke 45 out of 50 targets.

Also on the varsity squad were Jake Huizenga, Eric Hodge and Bryce Romick.

Newton’s junior varsity squad won their division. The team of Brian Bleakney, Logan Zaabel, Nathan Tremel, Clay Trotter and Michael Blom had a score of 156 targets out of 250. Baxter took second (128) then Newton’s other junior varsity team of Austin James, Cole Doerring, Colton Kingery, Chaz Ridenour and Allison Winchell was third at 126.

B-G-M’s Claire Solem was top female shooter with a score of 44 out of 50 possible.

There was a three-way tie for first among male shooters, but the medal went to B-GM’s Brady McClenathan, since the other two shooters did not stay for the tiebreaker.

Cardinals win on the road

Tennis: Newton girls defeat Oskaloosa

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Staff Editor PERRY — Victoria Jordan had a hat trick — scoring once in the first half and twice in the second half — to push the Newton Cardinal girls to a 5-1 victory Friday night over host Perry.

With the non-conference win, the Cardinals improved to 7-1.

Friday’s game was the start a long road-game run for the Class 2A 12th-ranked Cardinals. They play at Grinnell Tuesday in Little Hawkeye Conference action.

“We came out flat in the first half, and it was tied 1-1 at half,” Newton head coach Cathy Reiter said. “The girls cranked it up coming right out of halftime and played with energy and were aggressive for the entire second half.”

Jordan found the net on a free kick served in from Michaela Jacobsen. Newton’s first goal came 14 minutes into the contest. Perry answered quickly to knot the score, 1-1.

The Cardinals came out aggressive out of the break. Jordan scored one minute into the second half on an assist from Amber Karsten. Jordan cashed in a pen-

alty kick four minutes later to put Newton up 3-1.

Jordan gave back with an assist to Karsten for a goal with 15 minutes remaining in the game. Kaytlin Ahn scored with an assist from Ryanne Rausch a minute later.

While the offense scored four times in the second half, Newton’s defenders shut out Perry. Emily Forsyth had seven saves in the goal for the Cardinals.

singles matches. At No. 1 singles, Maria Valbuena beat Kailey Scharff, 6-3, 6-0 followed by Jennifer Ventling winning 6-1, 6-4 over Jamie Stewart at No. 2 singles. Holly Vander Pol handed the Cardinals a 7-5, 6-1 win over Bethany Rowley at No. 3 singles.

Monica Corso earned a 7-6 (6), 6-2 win over Abbie Meyer in the No. 4 singles match. McKenna Heisdorffer notched a 6-4, 6-4 win over Morgan Holle at No. 5 singles and Kayla Corso defeated Asli Bayram, 6-2, 7-5, in No. 6 singles.

“You don’t beat a good team like Oskaloosa 10-1 without your entire team playing well. Maria had to play against a style that she is not used to, and she made some excellent adjustments in the first set that allowed her to really dictate the terms of the rest of the

match,” Zehr said.

“Jenn’s opponent has been taking lessons for the past year, and really showed significant improvement, but Jenn just played phenomenally, especially given that she was not feeling well. Holly faced some adversity in her first set against a very athletic Rowley, but she made some great shots to close out the first set and just continued rolling through the second.”

In doubles matches, Ventling and Vander Pol rallied to win the No. 1 doubles match, 4-6. 7-6 (3), 1 (3) over Scharff and Rowley. Valbuena and M. Corso combined for a 6-0, 6-1 win over Meyer and Holle in No. 2 doubles.

Heisdorffer and K. Corso defeated Stewart and Bayram in another third-set tiebreaker match, 3-6, 6-2 1 (10) in No. 3 doubles.

“McKenna and Kayla battled back, despite los-

ing the first set, to win a nail-biter, and the closest match of the day.

Once they started playing smarter, they were able to control the points better, and with the match balancing on only a few points, they were able to finish the narrow 12-10 third set victor,” Zehr said.

The lone loss of the dual came in No. 4 doubles when Oskaloosa’s Rachel Groet and Emileigh Klucas edged Newton’s Marisa Modlin and Sierra Griffith, 4-6, 6-2, 0 (3).

Newton’s Halie Owens and Megan Pressgrove beat Claire Carmichael and Macy Milledge, 6-2, 6-1 in the No. 5 doubles match.

Newton is 3-0 in conference play with three duals remaining to play.

On Tuesday, the Cardinals play Pella and Pella Christian at Pella. They conclude LHC play at home Thursday against Knoxville.

Newton Rugby takes split at home

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Staff Editor

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Using a stiff arm is Newton’s Mason Bowes as he carries the ball during Friday’s first rugby game at H.A. Lynn Stadium against West Des Moines Valley. Newton won 28-14 then lost to Cedar Falls, 21-14, later in the evening.

NEWTON — A defensive stand with less than two minutes to play in the game sealed Newton’s rugby win Friday night. The Cardinals prevented West Des Moines Valley’s Tigers from scoring a tying try and earned a line-out throw-in.

On the throw-in, Jake Huizenga picked up the ball with no Tigers between him and the score line.

Huizenga dashed almost the length of the field for a try, putting Newton up 28-14.

Valley went up 7-0 early in the first half. Newton answered on a breakaway run for a try by Ray Schroder. Newton’s Jake Smith plunged over the scoring line for the second try. Schroder’s second score pushed the Cardinals to a 21-7 lead. It was 21-14 at halftime.

After Huizenga scored, the Cardinals held the Tigers at bay the final minute of the contest, winning 28-14.

The second set of Tigers the Cardinals faced Friday had more

Raider track teams run at different locations

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Staff Editor Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s track teams were busy Friday night at different track meets. Today, the Raider teams are at home hosting two meets.

The girls’ meet was rescheduled from April 24.

The CMB girls traveled to Huxley, competing in the Ballard Invitational Class B Division. The Raiders finished fifth with 81 points while Roland-Story piled up 158 for the team title.

CMB’s boys weren’t scheduled to compete on Friday night, but after Thursday’s meet at Prairie City-Monroe was rained out, the Raiders went looking for another track meet. They were able to get in the Roland-Story Norsemen Invitational in Story City.

The CMB boys piled up 176 points, bolstered by a strong showing in the field events, to win the team title. Ballard was second with 86 1/2 points and Roland-Story placed third with 84 points.

At Huxley, the CMB girls won the sprint medley relay in 1 minute, 57.73 seconds. Maddy Poage, Megan Ritter, Mackenzie Schmitz and Bridget Hurley combined for the gold- medal run.

Schmitz and Poage finished second and third, respectively, in the 100-meter dash in 13.22 seconds and 13.88 seconds.

“Our girls competed well tonight.

We ran a lot of personal best times tonight, and had a good battle with two other good teams for that third place, finishing just six points out of third,” said Jerry Meinerts, CMB girls’ head coach.

Madrid scored 87 points for third place followed by Prairie Valley with 84.

Abbie Haupert claimed second in the discus with a throw of 100 feet, 4 inches and Mikayla Eslinger was fifth

at 95’8”. Payge Jurgens was fourth in the shot put at 36 feet, and Bekah Pearson took sixth at 31’10 1/2”.

The CMB gitrls placed second in both the 4x200-meter relay and the 4x100-meter relay races. Heather Jessen medaled in the 3,000-meter run (12:49) in third place and the 1,500-meter run (5:50.71) in fourth.

“Our sprinters and field event girls continue to score a lot of points for us.

They are really solid and have been pretty consistent all season long. Heather is doing a good job racing the distance race, and continues to improve each meet,” Meinerts said. “Our 800 runners are starting to drop their times, in fact all 800 runners ran their best times this season, along with our 4x800 team.”

At Story City, the CMB boys went 1-2 in three of the four field events.

Bryce Kemp won the long jump with a leap of 20’10 3/4” and Zach Huffaker was econd at 19’11 1/4”. Zach Samson claimed the gold medals in the shot put (56’3”) and the discus (150’4 1/2”) with Patrick Girard taking second in the shot put (49’7”) and Clayton Weltha was second in the discus (143’1 1/2”).

In the other field event — the high jump — CMB’s Hunter Gunderson placed second, clearing the bar at 6 feet, and Joey Nissen was third at 5’6”.

“Our field event guys got us off to a good start with some very good performances and we were competitive on the track throughout the evening so it was a good meet for us,” said CMB boys’ head coach Neil Seales.

“While it was pretty windy and considering the recent weather, it was dry and reasonably warm so that was a big improvement and we were just glad to get a chance to compete.”

On the track, the Raiders won three races, but scored points in 11 others. Jordan Coughenour and Huffaker went 1-2 in the 400-meter dash in 53.68 seconds and 55.43 seconds,

respectively.

Coughenour also won the 400-meter hurdle race in 56.89 seconds with Brady Stover in fourth (1:01.99).

Kemp claimed the gold medal in the 110-meter high hurdles in 15.27 seconds and Nissen was third in 17.19 seconds.

Stover and Nissen combined with Nick Littell and Austin Moorman for second place in the 4x110-meter shuttle hurdle race in 1:05.63. Mark Deutsch ran second in the 3,200- meter race in 10:26.42 and Colin Thomson was fifth in 11:07.85.

muscle. The Cardinals went 1-1 in their home tournament of the Iowa Youth Rugby Association’s high school league. Time ran out on the Cardinals as they were attempting to tie up the game. Newton lost to Cedar Falls, 21-14. “(Co-coach) Justin (Liston) and I thought the guys played well Friday night,” said Bill Reed, Newton co-coach. “The first half of the Valley game may have been the best half we have played all season, solid tackling and good passing.”

“Cedar Falls was the most physical and aggressive team we have played this year, (it rattled us a little in the first half ) but the guys hung in there and gave them a good battle.”

The Cardinals struck first on a long run by Joseph Banfield for the first try of the contest. Cedar Falls scored three times to build a 21-7 halftime lead.

Newton (6-3-1) play its final two divisional games next Friday at Des Moines Lincoln’s Hutchens Stadium. The Cardinals are slated to play Clarke at 7 p.m. and Southeast Warren at 8 p.m.

Van Veen medals for PCM at Chariton

By Mike Mendenhall Daily News Staff Writer CHARITON — After a week of rain-outs, the Prairie CityMonroe girls golf team took to the links Saturday at a meet hosted by Chariton High School.

Mustang Cassidy Van Veen took the tops spot individually at Chariton , scoring a 94 in 18 holes. Breanna Maher also had a strong showing Saturday, scoring a 100 overall while shooting a 47 on the front nine.

PCM head girls golf coach Val Edwards said that the effort at Chariton was strong considering a week of rainouts kept the Mustangs off the course.

“Overall, our scores weren’t too bad for not being able to play for a week due to weather and cancelled meets,” Edwards said. “It was exciting to have Cassidy be a medalist, as she was tied for second going into the second nine holes.”

PCM took fourth out of the five teams competing at Chariton. Rounding out the Mustangs’ scores were Kelsey Van Veen with 111 and Abby Van Haaften with 151.

The Mustang girls will have an intensive week, as they prepare for three meets, including the Heat of Iowa Conference contest at Cedar Point Golf Course Wednesday in Boone. PCM will also compete at Honey Creek Golf Course on Thursday, and will finish its week Friday in Newton.

Cinco de Mayo is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, but in the United States, it is considered a prime opportunity to celebrate Mexican culture and heritage. The festivities will be guided by a Leo moon that favors drama, color and entertainment.

The moon forms a lucky trine with Venus in the evening for extra emphasis on aesthetics.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 5). Goals will take less time than you think to accomplish, so dive in and get things done this month. The good feelings carry over to June when you’ll share an adventure with a special friend.

Education becomes increasingly important, and you’ll make money quickly with what you learn in August. Capricorn and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 3, 33, 14 and 11.

TAURUS (April 20May 20). You have a certain way you like to be treated. Reward those who do the right thing once, twice, three times and more. Behaviors

have to be practiced to be learned.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re in the mood to take a risk, but you also know where to draw the line. You’ll gamble a portion of what you have, but not all of it and not what you don’t have, as many gamblers tend to do.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you’re wondering why people are opening up to you, telling their stories and sharing the intimate details of their lives, it’s because your smile is the sign of welcome they’ve been waiting for.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You’ll tackle the most difficult problems first, and the other problems will either suddenly seem like non-issues or will actually be non-issues because they are handled along with the natural proceedings.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Those in your company will enjoy your charm and personality.

Social graces alone won’t be enough to persuade

people to give you what you want, but they sure won’t hurt your position!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Hardships may be what strengthen people, but this concept is far easier to accept after the hard times are over. Your confidence will build as you look back at all you went through to get where you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A person who loved you long ago still loves you. Even though you don’t have the evidence of this affection in your daily life, by quietly questioning whether this is so, your feelings will confirm the truth of it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). If you constantly are feeling like you are in a down position, it’s because you have more on your plate than the people around you. It is simply not fair to make comparisons when the game is stacked like this.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Wish crazily.

There is something of value in even the silliest-

seeming dream. Let yourself be whimsical.

You can always go back later to find the value in your whims.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). There are jokes that only you and a very select number of others would appreciate. The person who can make you laugh with this kind of joke will have your heart.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your travels will bring you face-to-face with someone you wouldn’t have chosen to interact with, and yet you’ll learn and solve much through contact with this person.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your smile makes people feel comfortable.

The more comfortable people feel the more likely they are to go easy on their personal rules and regulations. Your smile grants you access to private worlds.

Iowa Speedway gets fan-focused

By Zach Johnson Daily News Staff Writer

ACU reports financials at annual meeting Special to the Daily News

Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small and his staff made a series of announcements over Facebook on Thursday and Friday about the series of fanfocused events that will kick off “Wide-Opening Weekend” May 17-18 at the Iowa Speedway.

“We made a declaration when we purchased the Iowa Speedway that we we’re going to create a fan-rich environment for the race weekend to make sure their experience is number one,” Small said. “It’s what we have been working on the past four months, and we’re very proud. Between the two announcements, it’s the example of us keeping our word on the investment.”

Small has created a nationally televised platform for the community of Newton as the “Get To Know Newton 250” will be televised on ESPN. “The executives at NASCAR couldn’t think of a better investment in the inaugural NASCAR Nationwide Series race because it gives the race fans a chance to know about the area businesses, so when they come to see a race, they have an idea of the many places to see while at the Iowa Speedway,” Small said.

The speedway has announced that Tuesday it will be hosting test laps, which will be open to the public and feature NASCAR drivers Brad Keselowski, Chase Elliott, Sam Hornish Jr., Brian

Scott, Austin Theriault and 2013 Iowa Speedway winner Trevor Bayne. The testing will be from 10 a.m to 6 p.m. Fans will be able to view the testing from the Reserved RV Area.

Fans will be able to take a ride on a mechanical bull named “Piston,” play a classic arcade game, get autographs from K&N Pro Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series drivers, see a Monster Energy stunt show, climb a rock wall, be part of

the Pizza Ranch Victory Lane celebrations with a Casey’s Fan Walk Pass, and Saturday night Montgomery Gentry will have a free post-race concert for any ticket holder.

Iowa Speedway will have a special event for the season ticket holders with a party at Turn One Hospitality on May 17 from 2 to 4 p.m. The party will feature an appearance from Iowa Speedway track designer Rusty Wallace, driver appearances, a free gift, chances to get upgraded access and experiences and the party will have refreshments and a DJ playing throughout the party.
