Back to the drawing board for housing initiative

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Teachers Shelly Fitzgerald and Allison Grier made a presentation about Red Pride Service Day at Monday’s Newton Community School District board of education meeting. The meeting also included a contentious discussion about personnel decisions at the school-principal level.

School board approves principal assignments Bartello named TJ principal

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Before the Newton Community School District board of education could decide whether to approve the personnel reports presented at Monday’s regular meeting, the board had to decide whether to even hear the information in its agenda-assigned sequence.

Board member Donna Cook motioned to postpone the hearing of the leadership positions in the

certified and classified personnel reports until Superintendent Bob Callaghan could be present at a board meeting, be it later in the evening or at the May 18 meeting.

Cook wanted to ask Callaghan questions about principal assignments for 2015-16, and the superintendent wasn’t present at Monday’s meeting when the board reached the personnel item on the agenda. Her motion to delay the report until Callaghan could be with the board was seconded by

board member Robyn Friedman, but after a lengthy discussion, the motion was defeated, 5-2.

The names of next year’s three new principal assignments were then announced as part of the personnel item. The board approved the report, 5-2, with Cook and Friedman voting against it.

A proposal to enhance the Newton Housing Initiative Incentive Program was voted down 4-2 by the Newton City Council at its Monday meeting.

Council Members Jeff Price and Steve Mullen voted for the proposed change of funding for the Newton Housing Development Corporation to buy land for five houses along with having the NHDC take on the debt of the construction cost or 80 percent of the appraised value if the property

does not sell within a certain time frame.

“I have some pretty big concerns about the proposal here. First of all it has changed pretty significantly from the last discussion,” Council Member Noreen Otto said. “I am concerned about buying property and not knowing the price of it.”

Council Member Lin Chapé echoed Otto’s concerns and brought up what seemed like a rush to a decision on the matter and the risk that is involved in spending tax payer money.

School board scales back stadium plans

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The last of the art pieces that are part of the First Avenue of Sculpture and Art project was set up for display Monday. The artist who created the spider, John Brommel of Des Moines, was in Newton on Monday, and he said it’s rare to find as much “hex” tubing made of aluminum as he found before he created the piece. It’s attached to front of the Farm Bureau building, on the south side of First Avenue East, between E. Fourth St. S. and E. Fifth St. S.

A project to refurbish one of the Newton Community School District’s most visible symbols of Cardinal pride received a green light on Monday night.

The NCSD board of education voted unanimously to approve a scaled-back version of a plan to make some major press box changes at H.A. Lynn Field. After the board tabled action last week on bids for the home press box and build a visitor’s side press box at the stadium, the board voted Monday to allow the design firm of Frevert, Ramsey & Kobes to have their plans put in motion.

The firm of TBB & M of Indianola came in as a lower bidder for the project, and will be the contractor. There won’t be much time to make major changes to the plans from here on, as work is set to begin as

In Brief Iowa Cattlemen to host Iowa Beef Bash May 29-31

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Cattle graze on a recent spring day in northern Jasper County. Delays in release of target obligations for renewable fuel standards have garnered criticism from Iowa’s Congressional delegation.

Congressional delegation upset with RFS delays sign a recent letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, encouraging high standards.

Minnesota Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) was also among the senators to sign the letter.

Grassley is on the Senate’s on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee.

“The RFS has already proven to be an effective driver of alternative fuels and economic development,” the letter states.

“It has strengthened agriculture markets and created hundreds of thousands of jobs in the new energy economy, many of which are in rural areas.”

The letter calls for McCarthy and the EPA to maintain the intent of the fuel standard, fist signed into law by President George W. Bush after Congress passed it in 2005. The senators encourage the EPA to switch course from proposed rule and craft standards announced last year; the biofuel industry has already surpassed those goals in capacity.

“A stable RFS will also provide the certainty needed to unlock future investments in renewable fuels and necessary infrastructure, reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign sources of energy and drive innovation and progress toward cellulosic, biodiesel, recycled-waste, algal, and other advanced biofuels,” the letter states.

The state’s junior senator, Joni Ernst, in a news release, said renewable energy standards must come along more quickly.

“While I am thankful to finally see a path forward on RFS, it is unacceptable the EPA has failed to act for so long,” Ernst said. “Farmers and the entire renewable fuel sector in Iowa need a strong and longterm RFS to conduct and grow their businesses.”

Ernst, also a Republican, is,

EPA to finalize rules by June 1

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Iowa’s Congressional delegation seemed pleased with the Environmental Protection Agency’s April 10 announcement about an upcoming timeline for national renewal fuel standards volume obligations, but are frustrated it is taking so long to get standards released.

Also, federal lawmakers who are proponents of ethanol are calling for the EPA to maintain high, strong standards for biofuel production.

Under a court settlement with the oil industry, the EPA announced April 10 it will propose the 2015 Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) renewable volume obligations by June 1, 2015, and issue the final 2014 and 2015 RFS blending targets

by Nov. 30. In addition, EPA will also release the proposed 2016 RFS renewable volumes

by June 1. The 2016 numbers will be finalized by Nov. 30.

“This consent agreement is a good start,” Renewable Fuels Association president and CEO Bob Dinneen told the agricultural website domesticfuel.com.

“We are particularly pleased that the agency has committed to addressing the 2016 RVO in the same time frame even though that is outside the scope of the consent agreement.”

Iowa corn helped produce a nation-best 3.9 billion gallons of ethanol last year, or about 27 percent of U.S. production.

About 28 states now have at least one ethanol plant.

The state’s senior senator, Republican Chuck Grassley, was one of several senators to

like Grassley, on the Senate’s Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee. The first-year senator is on three subcommittees, and is the chair of the Subcommittee on Jobs, Rural Economic Growth and Energy Innovation.

“The EPA must also get RFS right, and not decrease renewable-fuel levels which would negatively impact consumer choice and Iowa’s critical ethanol and biodiesel industries,” Ernst said. “Iowa is a leader in renewable fuels and I will continue to push the EPA to issue strong renewable-fuel standards which encourage investment and innovation.”

Ernst said she has previously invited EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy to Iowa to see how inaction on RFS directly impacts Iowans.

U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, a Democrat, also blasted the EPA for releasing standards so late.

He issued a news release last November after what he called the “EPA non-announcement,” and he also took issue with the agency issuing 2014 standards in the spring of 2015.

“The announcement by the EPA that it will set the RFS targets by June 1 is welcome news, but it should have never taken this long in the first place,” Loebsack said. “By the time this proposal is submitted and finalized, our farmers and agriculture communities will have waited more than two years to get the certainty they deserve.”

Loebsack, like many of his colleagues, is a supporter of the RFS concept.

“The RFS has proven it works, creates jobs, supports our agricultural communities and lessens our dependence on foreign oil,” Loebsack said.

Bird flu losses likely to top 20M with new cases in Iowa ​DES MOINES (AP) — Agriculture officials say five more farms likely have been affected by the deadly H5N2 bird flu virus, including an egg-laying operation with 5.5 million chickens.

Local & State News Heartsill attends Kelsey Smith Act signing Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Rep. Greg Heartsill (R-Columbia) was in attendance Friday during the Governor’s signing of House File 447, formerly HF 54 that Heartsill authored. This bill is also known as the Kelsey Smith Act. The bill allows for law enforcement to “ping” cellphones in emergency situations, such as an abduction.

Heartsill said, “I was very pleased with how this legislation was able to progress through this legislative session. I am honored to have been a part of it, given the importance it means to our law enforcement officers in helping to keep more Iowans safe.”

Submitted Photo Pictured are Kelsey Smith’s parents and family, Rep. Heartsill, Marion County Sheriff Jason Sandholdt who brought the legislation to Heartsill, and other law enforcement.

Kelsey Smith’s parents and family were at the courthouse to witness the signing as well as Mari-

on County Sheriff Jason Sandholdt who brought the legislation to Heartsill and other law enforce-

ment.

Iowa is now the 18th state in the nation to enact this legislation.

Assignments Continued from Page 1A Bauer, who is leaving the district.

Jim Gilbert, the district’s director of pre-K-8 services, will add principal of Aurora Heights Elementary School to his duties, replacing the retiring Carol Farver.

“I know the reading of the names is just the end of a process,” Cook said. “But we have moves that are really affecting the culture of our district. I feel it’s important to discuss some things as a board before we vote.”

Board president Sheri Benson announced at the start of the meeting that Callaghan was in Pella at the Little Hawkeye Conference track and field meet, watching his son compete. Benson was unsure if he’d make it back to Newton by the end of the meeting, which he didn’t.

While the board technically could reject Callaghan’s recommendations for any position, by vote, boards typically follow the recommendations of superintendents and district staff for personnel changes.

Gilbert’s and Sharp’s transitions to their new positions had already been announced by Callaghan at the board’s April 27 meeting. Benson pointed out there wasn’t a recent board precedent for postponing human resources updates.

The 40-minute discussion on personnel also included the announcement of the resignation of Berg Middle School teacher Shelly Fitzgerald — a 20-year veteran of the district, who has recently become qualified for the counseling job she is taking in Grinnell. Fitzgerald was at the meeting to present on an unrelated topic, became tearful when Isaac announced her resignation.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Berg Middle School teacher Deborah Rose spoke briefly at Monday’s Newton Community School District board of education meeting about an upcoming event. The meeting also included a contentious discussion about personnel decisions at the school-principal level.

teacher Lenette Swanson is retiring after 27 years with NCSD, and longtime Newton High School music teacher Norm Grimm is also retiring. The board will hold a regular meeting May 18 and will host an open public budget amendment meeting May 26. Both meetings will be at Emerson Hough. In other action Monday, the board: • Voted 6-1 to approve the district’s 2015-16 lunch prices, which include 10-cent increases to the full price of student lunches. An elementary lunch base price will be $2.50, and a secondary lunch will be $2.60. Student breakfasts will continue to be $1.25; board member Nat Clark voted against the plan.

A reduced student lunch will be 40 cents cheaper on each campus, and a reduced breakfast will be discounted by 30 cents.

• Heard from Food Service Supervisor Cristy Croson, who announced lunch will be provided to all students — free of charge — at

the district campuses during summer school. The campuses are Thomas Jefferson, Berg Elementary School and the high school.

• Set a date of June 22 for Callaghan’s annual summative evaluation as superintendent. His annual contract expires June 30.

• Heard from Fitzgerald and from Newton High School teacher Allison Grier about Red Pride Service Day. They discussed past projects and this year’s plans for the annual service event, set to take place Wednesday.

• Unanimously approved renewal of a contract with Perspective Consulting Partners, LLC. The consulting firm helps the district shop the market for health, optical and dental insurance rates, and offers guidance with what Isaac called the “nightmare” Affordable Care Act regulations.

Stadium: Work to begin as early as May 18 Continued from Page 1A vinyl windows from Jeldwen. Going from steel siding to vinyl not only takes about $8,000 off the project total, Briden said, but vinyl siding is easier to replace, and is also “more pliable and resistant to denting.”

A lighting package, costing about $800 less than the originally recommended Cooper lighting, will be used. The board decided not to accept a potential $3,100 from removing a galvanizing step from the process.

Briden said galvanizing items don’t require

the touch-up painting non-galvanized buildings tend to need, but the board didn’t act on that cost-reduction recommendation.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan, who led much of the prior board discussions about the stadium press boxes, wasn’t at Monday’s meeting, as he

attended his son’s conference track meet.

The board’s final regular meeting before school ends for the year will be May 18 in the Emerson Hough conference room.

Council Continued from Page 1A “It still smacks of us maybe ending up owning property as a city,” Chapé said.

Council Member Evelyn George talked about concerns she hears from citizens about businesses not coming in because of lack of new housing — the city does not have the housing people desire, she said.

“I think this is an important step that we need to take for housing and for retail,” George said.

Otto and Chapé said several times they appreciate the work NHDC has done and continues to do, but the proposal needs further discussion before gaining their approval.

In other business, the council approved an Animal Protection and Control Review Committee for appointment. The three person committee was needed after a dog owner whose dog was previously found problematic or vicious requested a hearing on the determination.

“This is a valuable part of the recommendations made by the task force so I’m happy to see us moving forward,” George said.

Approved committee members are Emily Thomason as a member of the public, Sarah Siperstein, a dog professional and director of the Jasper County Animal Rescue League and the police chief or his designee. They will each serve a one year term.

City Administrator Bob Knabel brought before the council a concern Mayor Mike Hansen had about the police chief participating on the committee because he would be a part of the designation from the outset. He recommended using a designee to avoid any conflict of interest.

The Newton Police Department recently designated three dogs problematic and/or vicious and received one written notice of appeal. After receiving the appeal, the review committee is to schedule a hearing within 30 days of the request. Following the hearing, the committee may amend or reverse the determination of a problematic or vicious dog.

After months of discussion between the council and the public, an ordinance for the outside parking and storage of trailers, watercraft and motorhomes was approved. It reads that pull-behind items and motorhomes must be placed/parked upon a hard surface and can be placed anywhere on the property as long as it’s on a hard surface.

In an effort to move the approval along and give city staff a code to follow, the council decided to discuss further items such as what type of hard surface, quantity of vehicles/watercraft and agricultural exemption for a later time.

Several public hearings about potential bond issues for the city were scheduled for May 18. A bond not to exceed $700,000 would be used for golf course projects such as repairs to the irrigation system and design work for a possible new clubhouse, equipment for the Public Works Department and the Maytag Pool.

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

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

In other business: • Council approved the purchase of 748 N. Third Ave. E. for the D&D Program at a price of $6,100.

• All dog owners must have their dogs on a leash when the dog is not on the owner’s private property after council approved an amendment to the animal protection and control ordinance.

• A Code Enforcement Inspector position was approved by the council.

Keeping Me on My Toes

Enough to clothe an army

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | May 5, 2015

Having two little girls, I do my fair share of shopping.

Actually, probably more than my fair share, but I try to perform some self control while surrounded by adorable kids clothes. I did not realize until preparing for our garage sale last weekend just how many clothes we had actually accumulated in the past four years.

When I was pregnant with my oldest, everyone thought I was having a boy (much to the delight of my husband). I was carrying like the baby was a boy, the Chinese calendar said boy and the heart rate matched what is typically thought for boys. Although I didn’t really care either way, if I had to pick, I would have picked girl.

In the weeks leading up to my due date I went shopping so we

would have a some wardrobe ready when the baby arrived.

Since we didn’t find out before hand, I picked out both girl and boy clothes, keeping the receipt to return what wasn’t used. My girl side of the closet was almost double the boy side as I had a hard time choosing among the teeny tiny dresses and frills that come with baby girls clothing.

When the time came and our oldest appeared, we were in for a surprise when our doctor said ‘girl.’ I think it took me a moment to process that I got my little girl after all. From that point on, it has been a steady collection of all things pink, purple, twirly and full of lace. The collection only doubled after my second daughter was born since I didn’t want her

to wear all hand me downs.

Knowing that we were done having kids, I started getting rid of some of the clothes once the girls grew out of them. I gave some away to friends with little girls and brought some to the secondhand store. It always surprised me what they selected out of my offerings, leaving behind some of the more expensive items and taking the well worn pieces.

I didn’t think it would be too bad when I started laying out the clothes beginning with newborn sizes up to 2T. After getting through 3-6 months ,I was overwhelmed by the amount of clothes we had after getting rid of some and still having two sizes at home. I am admittedly terrible at saying no to clothes for my girls and

the problem is all my own, but when it was laid out in front of me, the dollars that I spent and will never get back really start to add up in my head.

I sold everything for a quarter each just to get rid of it and I put a pretty good dent in what I had. The rest will get packed up to go to charity and hopefully help out another family.

I have no plans on slowing down when it comes to shopping for my girls. It is a vice that I fully accept and will probably only get worse as they get older. I may have to start saving a little more for their teenage years, though.

Do I want to be a woman? Not with these thighs

Letters to the Editor

Iowa schools lack effective reading concepts Sue Atkinson Baxter Reading reforms put in place this school year to have students reading at grade level by the end of third grade are encountering some problems. One problem is Iowa’s low standard of the 41st National Percentile Ranking for proficiency (when grade-level proficiency is the 65th NPR).

The second problem is teacher training, which has no standards in Iowa’s teacher training programs and no testing for proficiency in knowledge or teaching skills in the licensing exams. The third problem is the propensity of Iowa teachers to substitute memorization for concepts because this is all they know.

How can children be expected to demonstrate their grasp of concepts on standardized tests by

applying them to real life when they have not been taught the concepts but had memorization substituted? Teachers are obviously experiencing this problem because they have had no similar testing for their expertise. Due to this lack of knowledge, memorization is being used in preschool as a substitute for concepts.

I recently had an email exchange with Brad Niebling at the Department of Education regarding the use of memorized sight words beyond kindergarten, a violation of the Iowa Core. His response was that when schools do this it is likely they are misinterpreting the wording of the Iowa Core. This may be true, but memorization has been the substitute for concepts for 60 years, so today’s teachers fail to understand memorization as a mind trainer not the mind developer of critical thinking and problem-solving through concept application.

programs that require no memorization are dumbing them down by adding memorization rather than providing training for teachers to effectively teach the concepts at grade level, and struggle to reach the low 41st NPR. The Iowa Core sets a floor, but schools can go above this by dropping all memorization and effectively teaching all five of the reading concepts (known as the “science of reading”). Effectively teaching these concepts meets the requirement of the Iowa Core for students to recognize certain words by sight because of their frequent use, and it also means they know the concepts well enough to apply them to other related circumstances at grade level. Schools training teachers to effectively teach reading at grade level are in a position to remediate those students they have failed to date using memorization. Holding back third-graders for the failures of the system continues the poor practices of the past.

Law enforcement thanks Grassley, Congress Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Just in time for Mother’s Day, Senator Chuck Grassley and his colleagues in Congress have found common ground in the passage of legislation that will create better lives for young parents and kids while creating safer communities in the coming years.

Commonly referred to as the “Doc Fix” bill, and recognized as one of the biggest achievements of the current Congress, the legislation provides a two-year extension of the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program and

the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

Created with strong bipartisan support in 2010, MIECHV provides federal funding for voluntary “home visiting” services for young, low-income women and their children. These programs bring trained nurses or other trained mentors into the women’s homes to help them understand their children’s emotional needs, make their homes safe for children, and respond appropriately to stressful parenting situations.

Since 2010, MIECHV has provided more than $25 million for home visiting in Iowa.

CHIP, which was also created with bipartisan support, provides health insurance to more than 80,000 kids in Iowa families who

cannot afford private health insurance but earn too much in annual income to qualify for Medicaid.

More than 110 Iowa police chiefs, sheriffs and prosecutors are lauding Congress for supporting these programs based on research that shows the impact between maternal and child health on public safety. As noted in a recent Fight Crime: Invest in Kids report, Orange is Not Your Color, a randomized controlled trial of a Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) home visiting program in Elmira, NY found that 15 years after the program began, high-risk mothers who did not receive home visits had more than three times as many crime convictions as those who did participate.

My friends and I, who are cigar-smoking, unreconstructed working m e n , did not watch the interview w i t h Bruce Jenner during which h e By Marc Dion talked about his wish to become a woman, or very nearly a woman.

But we talked about it, in our own way.

“He’s got the face for it,” one guy said.

“Nice hair,” I chimed in.

“The rest of it, they can do a lot with surgery.”

Jenner may not have made himself a woman, but we did, non-judgmentally sizing him up the way we do all women, because we are men.

I thought it was quite sensitive of us, considering that our little group includes a biker, a jackhammer operator and at least three guys who still say, “broads.”

I gave it some thought as I drove home from the cave in which we gather, a cave outfitted with a lavish variety of domestic beer on tap.

And I’ll tell ya, no way I’d become a woman.

It’s just too damn hard.

In our bathroom at home are a razor, a comb and a bottle of body wash belonging to me.

The body wash doubles as shampoo. I shave in the shower, and I wear my hair so short I never have to look in the mirror.

My wife, on the other hand, has niches and drawers and shelves packed with potions and goo to keep her pli-

able, adorable, smooth and blonde. She has a drawer, an entire drawer, filled with lipsticks — many of them ones she bought and didn’t think she liked but is still considering. Her fingernails are lime green today.

They were bright blue three days ago.

People look at her on the street — men, women, sizing her up. Are her pants too tight? Are her thighs too big? Is she overtly sexual? Is she not sexual enough?

People sometimes tell me I smell like the pipe I’m smoking. I wear khaki pants to work every day because they “go with” everything.

She has nine bottles of perfume on her dresser.

I have one bottle of cologne. Its name is “Old Spice.”

She has to worry about looking “slutty” when we go out. No one has ever told me I look slutty. No one even notices that I wear khaki pants every day.

If we weren’t both in the same labor union, I’d probably make more money than she does just because I’m a man.

If you light a cigarette when I get in the shower, you’ll still be smoking it when I get out. My wife gets up an hour before I do solely because she has to spend a great deal of time in the bathroom, stirring her bubbling cauldron of beauty chemicals.

No one has ever called out a rude sexual comment to me on the street. In bars, I sit alone and strangers do not make attempts to “pick me up.”

Stay male, Bruce. It’s easier.

Parents with strong beliefs won’t visit cohabitating couple DEAR ABBY: Our amazing daughters are in their late 20s. Both of them are independent, intelligent and loving. The four of us have a special bond. My wife and I have always been supportive in all aspects of our daughters’ lives, and that will never change.

They have been dating great guys over the past five years whom we believe they will ultimately marry. The problem? My wife and I were raised with certain values, and our daughters have recently moved in with their boyfriends. We do not approve, but respect their decisions as adults.

One daughter plans to have an open-house party celebrating their new place. She’s upset that my wife and I have indicated we won’t be attending, because doing so would be difficult and against our beliefs. We have understood her decision, but she does not appear to respect ours. Are we wrong to take this stance? — AGAINST THE TIDE IN NEW JERSEY DEAR AGAINST: I think so. Your daughter is an adult. Do you plan to continue “punishing” her and the man you say you approve of until they tie the knot? She and her boyfriend have been a couple for five years now, and their relationship appears to be progressing nicely. It’s not unusual for couples today to live together. I see nothing to be gained by skipping their open house — but I do see something to lose.

DEAR ABBY: My husband’s grandmother keeps purchasing season tickets to the theater for me. I have told my mother-in-law (who is in charge of buying the tickets) as politely as possible that summer is a very busy time for me. My kids, husband and I are all involved in activities, and the theater conflicts with these activities.

As well, I don’t particularly enjoy the group of people that we go there with.

(I haven’t shared this with my mother-in-law.) While I like my mother-inlaw and husband’s grandmother, the others are rude. They exclude me from

conversations and hardly acknowledge my existence. I try to make conversation but unsuccessfully. It makes for a dreadfully awkward evening.

How do I get out of going to the theater without hurting anyone’s feelings? — NO THANKS IN CANADA DEAR NO THANKS: The most effective way to accomplish that would be to stop beating around the bush and tell your husband’s mother and grandmother you would prefer not to be included, and the reason why.

DEAR ABBY: I like a girl but don’t know if she likes me. I went to a school dance with her, but that’s about it. I’m a choosy person, but everything seems right about her.

I never had a girlfriend before. Am I doing something wrong? I really want to be in a relationship with her, but I don’t want to get rejected. I hate that feeling. Can you give me advice on what to do? — IN LIKE IN WISCONSIN DEAR IN LIKE: There is a saying, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

It means that in order to succeed, you have to TRY. In dating relationships, there is always some risk of rejection, and it applies to girls as well as boys. If you want a relationship with her, stop being afraid and start acting like it. Because she went to a dance with you, she probably already likes you, too.

10-year-old boy shot in leg in Iowa City IOWA CITY — Iowa City police are investigating the shooting of a 10-yearold boy.

Officers say they were dispatched to Mercy Hospital on Sunday after receiving a report of a 10-year-old boy who had been shot in the lower leg. Authorities said in a news release that the injuries were not life threatening. According to investigators, the shooting occurred at a residence. They recovered the firearm they believe was used in the shooting from the residence.

DES MOINES — Ideal weather last week enabled Iowa farmers to make progress planting their corn and soybean crops.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says as of Sunday, farmers had planted 68 percent of the state’s corn crop and 11 percent of the soybean crop.

Both figures are better than the fiveyear average. The USDA says 84 percent of farmland had adequate topsoil moisture.

Iowa to pay contractor $7M more to resolve prison dispute The Associated Press DES MOINES — Iowa’s executive branch agreed Monday to pay an additional $7 million to a key contractor that worked on the state’s new prison, avoiding litigation in one dispute arising from the long-delayed project.

The State Appeals Board approved the settlement with Walsh Construction, which was selected in 2010 as general contractor for the new 800-bed Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort Madison. The payment brings to more than $130 million the cost of the state’s contract with Chicago-based Walsh, but it means both sides will avoid legal claims that could have lasted years.

“We believe the settlement is a fair and reasonable resolution to this dispute, and is in

the best interest of the state,” said deputy attorney general Jeff Thompson.

The maximum-security prison for male offenders, which will replace a penitentiary down the road that dates to 1839, remains empty more than a year after it was scheduled to open. Workers have been trying to bring housing units into compliance with the fire code after discovering faulty smoke evacuation systems last year, and the prison is expected to open within months. The opening had been delayed earlier by flaws in a geothermal heating and cooling system that have since been replaced. Design flaws in both systems have been blamed on a now-bankrupt Dubuque architectural firm, Durrant Group Inc. The project’s costs have

soared. Walsh’s initial contract was for $116.9 million, then rose to $123.4 million during the project. In December 2013, the company asked the state for an additional $18.1 million, saying it encountered delays for which it wasn’t responsible and had to perform additional work that wasn’t anticipated. State officials disputed the claim, contending that some work should have been included in the original contract and that Walsh didn’t give them a chance to mitigate costs.

Both sides negotiated the settlement with the help of an outside mediator last month.

The $6.95 million payment covers a number of items, including changes to the size of cells, structural steel design conflicts, and time for installing pumps and pipes that had to be replaced.

“We believe the settlement is a fair and reasonable resolution to this dispute, and is in the best interest of the state.”

— Jeff Thompson Deputy attorney general

The agreement also calls for the state to pay Walsh $6.1 million in funds that were retained as required by the contract until the end of the project. The two sides agreed to “waive any and all claims against one another” arising out of the project, with a few exceptions. The state is currently unaware of any “latent defects” in Walsh’s work, but reserves the right to assert le-

Waterloo-area police working to build bridges with community WATERLOO (AP) — Waterloo-area law enforcement officials hope faith will help build bridges in their relationship with residents.

The Rev. Frantz Whitfield of Mount Carmel Missionary Baptist Church said there’s a “disconnect” in the relationship between local law enforcement and Waterloo residents.

“I want the community to see the faith leaders and pastors with the police officers out in the community,” Whitfield said. “We want the people to see us working together, knowing that we are doing something to make this a better city.”

The city’s safety services director and representatives of the Cedar Falls Police Department and Iowa State Patrol accepted the pastor’s invitation to attend the Sunday service, where the congregation prayed for the safety of officers.

Waterloo city officials, including mayor Buck Clark, and councilman Quentin Hart also attended the service.

Safety Services Director Dan Trelka said he was grateful for the church’s support at a time when police-involved fatal shootings have led to unrest in places like Ferguson, Missouri. A Ferguson police officer last year fatally shot an unarmed, black 18-year-old, which caused several months of protests, sometimes violent, in the area.

“This gesture is just so incredible, I can’t even begin to get over it,” Trelka said. “I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate this and our officers appreciate this.”

Bird flu virus found in 4 more poultry operations DES MOINES (AP) — Officials say the bird flu virus has been found in four more locations in Iowa, bringing the total number of poultry that must be killed in the state to more than 19 million.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship announced Monday that new cases were reported at an egg-laying operation in Wright County with 2.8 million chickens and at three turkey farms. Two of the turkey farms are in Buena Vista County and one is in Cherokee County.

State officials didn’t release the number of birds at the turkey operations.

The addition of the Wright County chicken farm brings the total number of poultry that must be killed to 19.3 million birds.

gal claims for any that became known later, the agreement states.

As of April 10, Walsh was allowed to terminate its insurance coverage on the project and the state immediately took over legal responsibility for the property. Walsh official Kevin Swain, who signed the agreement, didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment.

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available for pre-order at the Newton Daily News. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926.

Maytag once commented about Snyder that "90% of everything we make or improve upon is because of him." At the time of Snyder's death in 1927, Maytag lamented "I feel that I am losing a companion, my pal and dearest friend that I ever had."

AN FRANCISCO — Each time 81-year-old Bill Dworsky or his 80-year-old wife Dorothy opens the refrigerator, closes the bathroom door or lifts the lid on a pill container, tiny sensors in their San Francisco home make notes on a digital logbook.

The couple’s 53-year-old son, Phil, checks it daily on his smartphone. If there’s no activity during a designated time, the younger Dworsky gets an automated email, so he can decide whether to call or stop by. “This is peace of mind, really,” he says of the system he installed last year.

The Silicon Valley tech executive lives just across town, but the sensors help him keep an eye on his aging parents while also raising a teenage daughter and frequently traveling for work.

While his parents don’t need a lot of assistance, they have stopped driving and his father uses a cane.

“I want to be in the position where I will know when I need to step in,” he says.

Advances in low-cost sensors and wireless networks are fueling a boom in the so-called “smart” home. And companies are looking beyond home security and temperature control to creating products for Baby Boomers try-

ing to balance caring for aging parents and respecting their independence. It’s a new twist on the notion of personal alarms, such as the Life Alert system that gained popularity with “Help, I’ve fallen and can’t get up” advertisements.

These systems often use simple, inexpensive components such as accelerometers that know when an object is moved. Others use small power sensors to track electricity use or contact circuits that tell when a door is open or closed. Companies like Lively, Evermind and BeClose charge $50 to $300 for a set of sensors and $30 to $70 a month for wireless monitoring. Each promises to safeguard clients’ personal information.

A set of motion sensors from San Francisco-based Lively seemed right for the Dworskys, whose son calls them “fiercely independent.” Before hearing about Lively, Phil had raised the idea of a webcam in their home.

“They immediately didn’t want it. It was a privacy violation,” he said. But they agreed to sensors that collect “a more limited set of information.”

Dorothy doesn’t think much about the system tracking her daily routine. “It’s un-intrusive.

That’s what we like about it,” she said. “We want to be able to stay in our home, and this is one way that makes it possible.”

Electronic tracking does raise issues around dignity and privacy, says Dr. Christine Ritchie, a geriatrics professor at the University of California, San Francisco. She believes some concerns will diminish as more people get used to using fitness bands, “smart” thermostats and other gadgets that track their daily lives, though. And independence is attractive.

“Many of my older patients would be totally unenthusiastic about having anyone monitor any part of their life,” says Ritchie.

“But some would be grateful for the prospect of continuing to live in their own home, rather than an institution where they have less control.”

Michigan resident Vicki White, 62, was taken aback when her daughter, who lives in Florida, suggested an Evermind system that uses power sensors to track how often appliances such as coffee makers, lamps or televisions are used. White’s health is good, but she lives in a rural area without close neighbors. White’s own mother had lived alone and struggled with Alzheimer’s disease that wasn’t detected right away.

“I thought maybe she thought I was flipping out,” White says of her daughter, 42-year-old Melanie Champion. “She explained that she just wanted to know I was OK and my routine was as it should be. It’s actually very comforting because I know she’s concerned.”

WA S H I N G T O N — A man whose social media presence was being scrutinized by federal authorities was one of two suspects in a shooting at a Texas cartoon contest featuring images of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad, and the Islamic State group on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the attack.

An audio statement on the extremist group’s Al Bayan radio station said “two soldiers of the caliphate” carried out Sunday’s attack in the Dallas suburb of Garland. It did not provide details and it was unclear whether the group was opportunistically claiming the attack as its own.

It was the first time that IS, which frequently calls for attacks against the West, had claimed responsibility for one in the United States.

The gunmen, whom federal officials identified as Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, wounded

a security officer before they were shot and killed at the scene. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation by name.

The deliberately provocative cartoon contest had been expected to draw outrage from the Muslim community. According to mainstream Islamic tradition, any physical depiction of the Prophet Muhammad — even a respectful one — is considered blasphemous, and drawings similar to those featured at the Texas event have sparked violence around the world.

Simpson and Soofi were wearing body armor, and one shot the security officer in the leg. Garland police spokesman Joe Harn said Monday that a single Garland police officer subdued the two gunmen but that after his initial shots, SWAT officers nearby also fired at the two men. Harn said police don’t know who fired the lethal shots.

Reforming Baltimore police will be expensive The Associated Press BALTIMORE — Months before Freddie Gray died of the broken neck he suffered during what Baltimore’s top prosecutor called an illegal arrest, the city’s mayor and police commissioner said the department needed reform and asked the Justice Department for help reviewing officer misconduct.

Now that Gray is buried, six officers are charged in his death and an uneasy calm has returned to the streets, critics are wondering whether city leaders are capable of implementing the change the city needs without the direct, intensive oversight that comes with a full-fledged civil rights investigation resulting in a federal consent decree.

Democratic Mayor Stephanie Rawl-

ings-Blake has already pushed back against this possibility, saying it would deprive Baltimore’s leaders from having a say in fighting crime in one of the nation’s most violent major cities, with more than 200 homicides a year.

“Nobody wants the Department of Justice to come and take over our city,” she said last week.

Baltimore’s leaders should welcome federal oversight, because it’s doubtful any police department can fix itself from within, said Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of the University of California-Irvine School of Law. Consent decrees have been mostly effective since Congress responded to the Rodney King beating in Los Angeles by granting the Justice Department the power in 1994 to sue police departments for civil rights violations.

Kerry visits Somalia; first such trip for a secretary of state The Associated Press MOGADISHU — Secretary of State John Kerry made an unannounced trip to Somalia Tuesday in a show of solidarity with a government trying to defeat al-Qaida-allied militants and end decades of war in the African country. He is the first top U.S. diplomat ever to visit Somalia.

Kerry arrived at Mogadishu’s airport shortly before

noon local time, greeted

by Somalia’s president and prime minister on the tarmac.

He held a series of meetings that included Kerry both of them along with regional leaders and civil society groups, before flying back to Kenya a little more than

three hours later.

“More than 20 years ago, the United States was forced to pull back from your country,” Kerry said in a video address to the Somali people, invoking the “Black Hawk Down” debacle when Somali militiamen shot down two U.S. helicopters. “Now we are returning in collaboration with the international community and bearing high hopes but also mixed with ongoing concerns.”

The trip was made under tight security conditions.

Somalia’s government only found out a day ago that Kerry would join the State Department’s top Africa official, Linda Greenfield-Thomas, on the trip. And the fact that he was only dipping his toe in Somalia, and not venturing past the airport, highlighted just how dangerous and unstable the country remains.

Top of the agenda was the fight against al-Shabab. African forces and U.S. drone strikes have crippled the organization’s leadership in recent years and left the extremists without much of the territory they once controlled or the cash flows needed to reverse their losses.

This and That

Saturday’s huge sports day had unfortunate ending This weekend was already going to be one of my favorite sports weekends of the year.

I am, and have been for a long time, an NFL Draft fan. I used to spend every single hour of the event in front of a TV watching every single pick. It’s By Troy Hyde just something Newton Daily that always fasNews cinates me.

Sports Writer But the draft wasn’t the only thing on TV this weekend. Saturday was a sports buffet. There was an option for almost any fan.

There was the draft for NFL fans. There was the Kentucky Derby for horse racing fans.

There was Game 7 of the Los Angeles Clippers and San Antonio Spurs playoff series for NBA and basketball fans.

I even had the chance to watch my Cincinnati Reds on national TV. And the nationally ranked Iowa baseball team had one of their games against Michigan aired on the Big Ten Network.

There was literally something for everyone.

But unfortunately, the night ended with a big thud.

The highlight of the night for most was the boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.

I never thought Mayweather would lose. He was undefeated and a holder of multiple titles for a reason.

But I don’t know many people who were rooting for him.

His history of domestic violence against women has been well documented. The stories I read this weekend painted an even worse picture of the man he is.

You know things are bad when you’re an American fighter and are getting booed

by Americans in favor of an opponent outside of the United States.

Typically, fans in America are loyal to Americans. But there is nothing to like outside the ring when it involves Mayweather.

He even took things a step further this week when he, and his camp, banned two female reporters from covering the fight.

Rachel Nichols, formerly of ESPN and now CNN, and Michelle Beadle of ESPN, were both outspoken about what Mayweather’s history is. And for that, for them doing their job, he told them they couldn’t cover the fight as journalists.

That is just the type of scum he is.

Unfortunately, we can’t deny his talents. He quite possibly could go down as the greatest pound-for-pound fighter ever.

Pacquiao got off to a good start and had things even in most experts’ eyes after six rounds. Unfortunately, he would only win one other round the rest of the way and lost by unanimous decision.

I didn’t watch the fight. I won’t pay $100 to help fill up Mayweather’s wallet.

I am not a huge boxing fan anyway. The sport is dying, and I don’t think this fight did anything to change that. If anything, it hurt the sport because all of Mayweather’s fights are boring.

He never gets hit, but he doesn’t really do much hitting himself. It’s been a long time ENDING | 2B

Griffin’s triple-double lifts Clippers over Rockets HOUSTON (AP) — Blake Griffin had 26 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists for his second straight triple-double to lift the Chris Paul-less Los Angeles Clippers to a 117-101 victory over Houston on Monday night in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals.

Paul, who has a strained left hamstring, missed his first game of the season. But Jamal Crawford had 21 points and Barnes added 20 to help pick up the slack.

Dwight Howard led Houston with 22 points and James Harden added 20.

Bulls 99, Cavaliers 92 CLEVELAND (AP) — Derrick Rose scored 25 points and Pau Gasol added 21, leading Chicago in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Looking like the MVP he was before being slowed by knee injuries, Rose helped the Bulls swipe home-court advantage from the Cavs, who were missing starters Kevin Love and J.R. Smith.

Kyrie Irving scored 30 points and LeBron James added 19 points and 15 rebounds for Cleveland, playing its first game since Love was lost for the remainder of the postseason with a shoulder injury.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Wade Hill shot an 85 on Monday at the Heart of Iowa Conference boys’ golf meet at Tournament Club of Iowa in Polk City.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe sophomore Ryan Hill was the top golfer for the Mustangs at the Heart of Iowa Conference boys’ golf meet at Tournament Club of Iowa in Polk City. Hill shot an 80 and finished in sixth place, helping the Mustangs finish third. The Mustangs shot a 339, but Gilbert (307) and Nevada (323) finished in the top two spots.

Hill brothers lead PCM boys to third at HOIC

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News POLK CITY — Playing in the No. 4 position, Prairie City-Monroe sophomore Ryan Hill was the top Mustang golfer Monday at the Heart of Iowa Conference meet at Tournament Club of Iowa.

Hill birdied the par 5 No. 1 and finished with nine pars at the par 71 course. He was 3-over on the front nine and carded a 9-over-par 80 for day. That was good enough for sixth overall, and it helped the Mustangs claim third as a team.

PCM shot a 339 and was the top Class 2A team in the field. Class 3A Gilbert and Nevada were first and second, respectively, with team scores of 307 and 323.

“The teams that beat us were Class 3A, so I felt pretty good about being the best 2A school in the field,” PCM coach Dale VanderLinden said.

“We hit a lot of fairways but didn’t putt very well.”

South Hamilton was 10 shots back of PCM in fourth, Roland-Story carded a 365 in fifth and Saydel was sixth with a 373.

North Polk, the host school, shot a 378 in seventh, CMBCN was eighth with a 394 and Greene County rounded out the field with a 474.

Colfax-Mingo played with only three golfers and did not collect a team score.

The Tigerhawks got an 83 from Brady DeJoode and that put him in 10th overall.

Following Hill for the Mustangs was his older brother Wade, who turned in an 85, and Reid Jenkins followed with an 86.

Ending

Continued from Page 1B since he knocked anyone out and that’s because he knows he can win in the points. If you don’t get touched, you don’t lose. And that’s what Mayweather has essentially done to get to 38-0 for his career.

He says he has one more fight left. That will take place in September, and it’s not a rematch with Pacquiao.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo’s Brady DeJoode shot an 83 and finished 10th overall at the Heart of Iowa Conference boys golf meet Monday at Tournament Club of Iowa in Polk City. The Tigerhawks only had three golfers and did not record a team score.

The final counting score came from freshman Dayton Boell, who fired an 88.

Chase Keuning had a 92 and Braden Phifer shot a 97 in

his second varsity meet.

Wade Hill and Jenkins both had six pars during their round. Boell had two birdies and four pars.

I think we’ll see the fight again. Too many “fans” will pay the big bucks to watch it and too much money is to be made by both guys. I won’t take part again. The money is not worth the pillow fight we will likely see.

Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors is the NBA Most Valuable Player this year.

He deserves it as him and his team have been fantastic.

My vote would have been for the runner-up James Hard-

en of Houston. Both guys were great all year, but Harden got the Rockets to the two seed in a brutal Western Conference and did it without the services of the team’s best big man and second-best player for most of the year.

Curry has mad skills, but the team around him also was much better.

LeBron James is still the best player in the league. I don’t think there’s any doubt about that. When he doesn’t

“The rough was really rough so you had to stay in the fairway to be successful,” VanderLinden said.

“There was a lot of water problems, too. You have to place your shot. You can’t use your driver off the tee all day.”

CMB-CN was led by Garrett Husske’s 88. Caleb Van Zante fired a 97 and Jake Hennick shot a 99.

The Raiders’ final counting score was Isaiah Texeira’s 110.

Ayden Bappe shot a 118 and Sean Deakins carded a 119.

Mason Mosher shot a 92 for Colfax-Mingo and the third score was a 102 from Jake Jeter. C-M’s top golfer Jimmy Abell did not play.

Garrett Jensen of Gilbert was medalist honors with a 69.

The top 12 finishers earned all-HOIC honors and the Tigers have five of those players.

Brayden Otto of Nevada and Tommy Doyle of Gilbert both shot a 76 and Gilbert’s Jack Hoiberg and Nevada’s Zach Hansen shot a 79.

Raider boys triumph in final home meet

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — Running in non-ideal conditions, the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Colfax-Mingo boys’ track teams competed at the Raiders’ final home meet of the season Monday.

With a steady rain falling throughout much of the night, the Raiders won another team championship, scoring topthree finishes in all but one event.

CMB piled up 196 points in getting the win, while Bondurant-Farrar scored 124 in second. Saydel had 113 in third, GMG was fourth with 74 and short-handed Colfax-Mingo scored 35 in fifth.

The Raiders won eight events in all. And scored double points in eight events, too.

“I am happy with the win and happy we got the meet in,” CMB coach Neil Seales said.

“We competed hard and it was a good night for us.”

The four field events produced the most overall points.

CMB won three of the four and had two of top-four positions in all four.

Patrick Girard won the shot put with a throw of 47 feet, 6 inches and Clayton Weltha was fourth with a 44-3. Weltha then won the discus with a toss of 144-5.5 and Girard was third with a heave of 124-0.5.

Hunter Gunderson won the high jump with a leap of 6-2 and Joey Nissen was fourth at 5-4.

Bryce Kemp and Brady Stover also went 2-3 in the long jump with marks of 19-4 and 18-11, respectively.

Stover and Nissen also were part of a win in the shuttle hurdle relay. Kyle Cather, Stover, Brad Ritter and Nissen crossed in 1 minute, 1.29 sec-

onds.

The final two individual wins came from Kemp in the 110-meter high hurdles and Mark Deutsch in the 3,200.

Kemp’s win was clocked at 14.81 seconds and Deutsch broke the tape in the two mile in 10:33.41.

The Raiders scored double points in those two events, too.

Nissen was fourth in the 110 hurdles with a time of 17.11 and Colin Thomson was third in the 3,200 in 11:05.42.

Individually, Kemp also was second in the 200, Deutsch was second in the 800, Evan Bianchi took the silver in the 1,600 and Cather was runner-up in the 400 hurdles.

CMB got double points from Stover (third) in the 400 hurdles and Thomson (fourth)

in the 1,600. Cather also was third in the 100.

CMB finished no worse than second in the other five relays.

Dalton Birchmier, Carter Fricke, Joe Keeling and Cather were winners in the 4x400 with a time of 3:50.99 and the 4x800 team of Creighton Caple, Fricke, Jack Cheville and Evan Bianchi also won in 8:56.25.

The 4x100, 4x200 and distance medley relay were all second.

The 4x100 was Birchmier, Ritter, Nissen and Jon Engle and they finished in 48 seconds flat.

The 4x200 included Birchmier, Ritter, Engle and Stover and they hit the line in 1:27.26.

The medley featured Birch-

mier, Engle, Blake Coughenour and Gunderson and they stopped the clock in 4:00.25.

The Tigerhawks focused on healing a few nagging injuries. They did not have Jake Lietz and Cameron Warner at all, Blake Summy and Colin Lourens only competed in the long jump, Jared Myers’ only event was the 110 highs and Gabe Simpson ran in just two events.

The top finishes came from Simpson, who was third in the 400 (53.46) and fourth in the 800 (2:12.19). Lourens was fourth in the long jump with a leap of 17-11.5.

Clayton Brown was fifth in the 1,600 and Myers crossed in fifth in the 110 highs.

“We cleaned up a few nagging leg injuries tonight by resting some guys,” Colfax-Mingo coach Matt Barkalow said. “Hopefully that will help us be ready for the final push toward the state qualifying meet.

“Gabe Simpson was terrific tonight.”

Both squads will run at the Cardinal Relays in Newton on Thursday. Action begins at 4:30 p.m.

Notebook Two top-three finishes were omitted from the Tigerhawks’ story in Friday’s Newton Daily News. Both events were relays.

The 4x400 relay team of Summy, Myers, Andreas Juul and Simpson were second with a time of 3:44.29. The 4x800 relay team also was second in 9:22.46. That foursome included Juul, Brown, Dunsbergen and Adam Teed. Myers’ time in the 110 highs also was incorrect. He finished the race in 17.50.

Earnhardt back in victory lane and happier than ever CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — There was a nearly five-year period for Dale Earnhardt Jr. when being a famous race car driver wasn’t all glitz and glamour.

He was a non-factor on the race track, barely even contended at Daytona and Talladega, the two places he was supposed to be unbeatable, and he is the first to admit his confidence had crumbled.

Rebuilding NASCAR’s most popular driver was a lengthy process that took a firm commitment from Rick Hendrick and a ton of patience from Earnhardt’s rabid fan base.

The turnaround was slow — some laps led here, a win there — until he finally hit his stride last season with a Daytona 500 victory and three other wins.

So it was no surprise Sunday to see Earnhardt back in victory lane at Talladega Superspeedway, a track he at one time had conquered with the same ease as his father. The late Dale Earnhardt won 10 times at the Alabama restrictor-plate track; his son once reeled off five wins in seven races.

What was a surprise was the emotion that poured out of Junior when he climbed from his car following his sixth Talladega victory.

fun; whereas, July brings tender joy. Your best financial months will be August and February. Aries and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 13, 32 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Mysterious bounty befalls you! You’ll be thankful and grateful and not sure whom to thank -- good problem to have. Paying it forward is always a sound option.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You can’t control what other people say, but you can live a life that’s so good that the chatter doesn’t matter to you.

That’s what you’ll be up to today. Bonus: A big check will help you tune them out.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are some things (like love and hate) that are obvious to everyone except the person in the thick of the spell. This is why you need friends who are honest and frank.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The music is influencing you, whether you want it to or not.

Where your taste intersects with another person’s taste is more than a confluence of aesthetics. It’s a soul connection.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you trust too much, you may

be led astray, but if you don’t trust enough, you’ll be isolated. Navigating this territory will be your main responsibility of the day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

There’s some funny business afoot, so keep your eyes peeled. Before you reward the savior of the day, make sure this person didn’t actually cause the problem to begin with.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

First World problems are a joke because we often react as if they were as dire, frustrating and real as Third World problems. You’ll be the voice of perspective, putting the entitled in their place.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Books can be like people you know, except sometimes they seem more real. You think about them throughout your day. You visit them like friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You prefer to do what fits your skills and talents.

But when you can’t do that, you fit your skills and talents to the activity at hand, thus multiplying them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). When your loved ones want your help, your response is automatic. However, should it be? Consider that sometimes the very best way to help is by not helping.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

As much as you try to live in the present moment, you keep getting pulled back. How can you help it? There’s a lot of life in the past, and some of it is begging for a visit.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Every face has a default position, a resting pose while out in the world. You can’t go wrong if you steer toward those whose default happens to be rather pleasant.

Newton’s Damman, Shores earn LHC golf honors

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — A little Little Hawkeye Conference history was made Monday. For the first time since Newton became a member of the conference, the Cardinal boys’ golf team was allowed to compete in the LHC golf conference tournament.

Newton’s boys are Class 4A in golf and 4A boys’ golf is a fall sport. All the other boys’ teams in the Little Hawkeye Conference play spring golf. The Iowa High School Athletic Association allowed Newton to compete in the 2015 conference tournament.

The Cardinals finished third in Monday’s tournament at Bos Laden Golf Course. They posted a four-man score of 333.

Norwalk, which spent one season playing Class 4A golf, won the LHC championship with a 328. Pella was second at 332. Grinnell also posted a 333, but Newton’s fifth score was better than Grinnell’s to break the tie.

Oskaloosa’s 345 was good for fifth place followed by Pella Christian with

Pella rolled to another LHC team championship with 201 points. Dallas Center-Grimes was second with 118 points followed by Grinnell with 115 points. Newton finished with 112 points for fourth place. Oskaloosa was fifth at 87 followed by Norwalk with 70 points and Pella Christian with 29.

“We did a very nice job tonight. We scored in many events that we typically have not in the past,” said Rachel Tomas, Newton head coach.

“It is disappointing to lose to DCG and Grinnell by such a small margin, but shows the talent of our conference. The girls have made tremendous growth this season, so I am excited to see how the end of the season pans out.”

Coen came up just shy of a third individual title in the 800 meters.

She was beaten at the finish line by Tatum Jorgensen of DCG, who won in 2:27.17 to Coen’s 2:27.22.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Three wrestlers from the University of Iowa are facing burglary charges following a series of break-ins earlier this year.

The Linn County Attorney’s office said Ross Lembeck, Seth Gross and Logan Ryan each face two counts of felony third-degree burglary. The trio all face seven counts of misdemeanor third-degree burglary, two counts of conspiracy to commit a felony and one count of conspiracy to commit an aggravated misdemeanor.

Marion police spokesman Scott Elam said Monday several vehicle break-ins were reported on March 18 in the community 35 miles north of Iowa City.

According to Elam, one of the vehicle’s owners saw that an interior light was on and later noticed the athletes — who took off running before being arrested. Elam said part of the delay in issuing charges stemmed from authorities trying to determine the owners of the property reportedly stolen.

Lembeck, Gross and Ryan were redshirt freshmen last season.

Lembeck’s attorney, Bruce Kittle, said that “we trust the process and that the truth of Mr. Lembeck’s participation or non-participation will be revealed as we work our way through the criminal justice system.”
