Newton tree service, school team up for owl rescue Tuesday when they saw a full-sized owl fly out of a tree they had just cut down.

“Then we found the baby owls and knew we had to do something,” Jeff Wilson said.

Jeff ’s wife, Stacey Wilson, has rehabilitated wildlife in the past and also works for the ISU Extension office in Newton, a research and resource hub. When she got the call, she went to work devising a plan to save the owls. Stacey rec-

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News A pair of barred owlets and their mother were unexpectedly relocated to a new home near a Newton school Tuesday.

As The Church of The Way, 2306 S. Third Ave. E., expands its ministry to include a new 700-seat worship center, several trees are being cleared.

Jeff Wilson and his son Kole Wilson, of DW Tree Service, were hard at work on the project

ommended transferring part of the hollowed tree the birds were living in to a nearby tree across the street.

With approval from the Newton Community School District, Jeff and Kole and their co-worker, Denny Deakins, worked together to strap that portion of the downed tree to a different one on the Aurora Heights Intermediate School property.

Fine notice Grassley covers wind energy, court issues at TPI proposed to eliminate court time

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley made his first appearance in Jasper County this year when he spoke and took questions at TPI Composites, Inc. in Newton on Wednesday. Grassley addressed several wind-energy topics after touring TPI’s wind turbine blade manufacturing plant.

Senator seeking a seventh term in Congress

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News U.S. Sen Chuck Grassley said he often remarks about how little he knew, in the early 1990s, about what a massive industry wind power would one day become.

Speaking briefly to a group of TPI Composites employees, wind industry officials and Newton-area business people and

government officials Wednesday, Grassley discussed several Congressional developments regarding wind power, and praised the work force at TPI and Trinity Structural Towers for their contributions in assembling wind-turbine components.

“When I first authored an (emissions) reduction tax credit in 1992, I had no idea the extent to which this credit would

be successful in growing this industry,” Grassley said. “We still have tremendous potential, but we couldn’t have made it this far without the work ethic and second-to-none quality standards of Iowans.”

A proposed change to the city’s municipal infraction ordinance could save citizens both time and money.

Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess outlined on Monday a new simple notice of fine to city council that would eliminate required court appearances for first offense infractions such as animal violations, nuisance violations and some burning or fire code violations.

“The police department serves a number of violations throughout the year on a routine basis, and what we hear most from our citizens was, why can’t I just pay this and not go to court?” Burdess said.

Currently, when a citizen violates an ordinance designated as a municipal infraction, the violator is issued a

citation by the city and a court appearance has been required regardless of the severity of the violation. Generally, about 15 to 30 days following the violation, a court appearance is scheduled and the citizen must attend the hearing to accept responsibility for the action.

With a guilty plea, citizens are generally fined between $10 and $1,000 plus an $85 court fee. Burdess said in most cases, the violator is fined the lowest possible amount of $10, with the city currently receiving 90 percent of the fine.

“The majority of the actual penalty goes to administrative costs that may not be necessary,” Burdess said.

The citizen also has the option to plead not guilty, which would result in a trial or hearing being scheduled for a FINES | 3A

Metro Creative Certain lifestyle adjustments and dietary choices can help alter a person’s metabolism and help shed pounds.

When attempting to lose weight, men and women can expect to hear or read a lot about their metabolism. The process by which the body converts the foods we eat and the beverages we drink into energy, metabolism is widely misunderstood.

Many people may have been told that a naturally slow metabolism might be to blame for their weight gain. But according to The Mayo Clinic, a slow metabolism is rarely to blame for excess weight gain, which can most often be attributed to both poor dietary choices and inactivity.

Certain conditions that slow metabolism, such as Cushing’s syndrome or hypothyroidism, can cause excessive weight gain, and people who have been diagnosed with such conditions should consult their physicians for advice on dealing with their conditions.

Those without conditions that affect their metabolisms may need to make certain lifestyle adjustments that can speed up their metabolisms and help them lose excess weight.

• Start strength training.

Muscle burns more calories than fat, even when the body is at rest.

Building muscle is a great way to speed up metabolism. Each

pound of muscle your body has burns roughly six calories per day just to sustain itself. That’s three times the calories that each pound of fat burns. Add that disparity up over time, and a body with significant muscle is burning considerably more calories than one with excessive fat.

• Stay hydrated. Dehydration takes its toll on the body in myriad ways, including affecting metabolism. Even mild dehydration can slow metabolism. When the body is dehydrated, its ability to use fat as fuel is compromised, slowing metabolism as a result.

In addition, muscles need water to generate energy, so dehydrated muscles will not be burning as many calories as those that are fully hydrated. Make an effort to stay hydrated throughout the day, whether you’re sitting at your desk in the office or working up a sweat at the gym.

• Snack, but snack healthy.

Healthy meals benefit metabolism, but unhealthy snacks can derail your dieting efforts. Metabolism speeds up and burns calories each time the body eats, and many people adhere to the concept of “grazing” for that very reason. Grazing involves eating several small meals every three

to four hours throughout the day rather than the more traditional three full meals each day. Grazing devotees feel the approach burns more calories than more traditional diets, but the difference in calories burned may actually be negligible. Still, healthy snacking can speed up metabolism and help men and women avoid overeating at breakfast, lunch and/ or dinner. In lieu of snacking on potato chips or baked goods, opt for healthier fare such as Greek yogurt or a serving of fruits or vegetables.

• Eat more protein. The thermic effect of food refers to the process by which the human body uses energy to absorb, digest and dispose of the food it ingests.

Protein stimulates the thermic effect of food more significantly than foods that are high in fat or carbohydrates, so the body will burn more calories digesting dietary protein than it will other foods. In addition to speeding up your metabolism, dietary protein also helps people feel full longer, reducing their risk of overeating.

Understanding metabolism can help men and women as they attempt to lose weight and maintain healthy weights once those extra pounds have been shed.

Study: Football concussions and resuming play vary by age CHICAGO (AP) — Younger football players are more likely to return to the field less than a day after suffering concussions than those in high school and college, according to a new study.

Only 10 percent of young players with concussions resumed football that soon, but the results are concerning and suggest a need for more sidelines medical supervision and better recognition of concussion symptoms in children, said sports injury researcher Zachary Kerr, the lead author. He directs an injury

surveillance program at Datalys Center for Sports Injury Research and Prevention, Inc., an independent group in Indianapolis.

“Younger kids may struggle to describe” their symptoms, and health effects from concussions may not show up right away, Kerr said, citing possible explanations for the study findings.

Much of the attention on sports concussions has focused on professional football and in college, but there’s a need for more prevention efforts and research at all levels including among the

The study also found differences in concussion symptoms depending on players’ age, offering guidance for parents, doctors and coaches in assessing injured players.

The NCAA and USA Football, the national governing body for amateur football, helped pay for the study, published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics.

The researchers say it’s the first study to compare concussion symptoms and return-to-play times at all three levels.

Local & State News Grassley Continued from Page 1A Association CEO Tom Kiernan to speak with a finished turbine blade as a backdrop.

The Republican senator took a handful of questions from the audience and from reporters before departing for another event.

“I can tell you folks are proud of their work,” Grassley said. “Because of our focus on wind industry, Iowans have cleaner air, 6,000 wind-related

jobs, 12 wind-turbine manufacturers who make lease payments to property owners and millions of dollars kept in local Iowa economies.”

Grassley, making his first appearance in Jasper County this year said the five-year phase-out of some tax credits is a testimony to the success of wind power. He said there might be pressure to end the credits on a faster cycle.

One of the questions from the audience was about Grassley, as the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and his

Republican-supported refusal to hold hearings on Merrick Garland, President Obama’s Supreme Court Justice nominated by to fill the seat vacated by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.

“Historically, we’re seen this before, like in 1968 where Lyndon Johnson’s nominee was filibustered, and it went to Nixon,” Grassley said, referring to Johnson’s attempt to replace the retiring Earl Warren with a member of his executive staff. “In recent years, various senators have taken

Jack Suttek, supervisor of maintenance for NCSD, was on hand for the rescue, helping with the project at the school.

“The whole time we were working the mother was flying from treetop to treetop watching us,” Suttek said.

Once the owlets were placed in the tree on the school side, those involved in the project kept a watchful eye on the tree to see if the mother would reunite with her owlets. It wasn’t until Tuesday evening a passerby spotted the mother peeking out of her newly relocated home.

“In the end, she found her babies,” Suttek said.

Suttek has since installed a temporary fence around the tree to prevent curious youngsters from disturbing the feathered family. Keri Van Zante, director of Jasper County Conservation, said it’s important nobody disrupt the nest as it’s critical the mother stay with her young.

“They need some space to adapt to their new home, so keeping people and pets away from the area is important so the mom doesn’t think she needs to move again,” Van Zante said. “Give them their space.”

Jeff Wilson said this is the first time he’s rescued owls, but it isn’t his first wildlife recovery — the tree service has previously rescued a squirrel.

later date. At that trial or hearing, city staff would be required to attend and testify as a witness on the city’s behalf.

A simple notice of fine is an alternative that would cite citizens who have violated a municipal infraction and assess a fine payable to the city clerk or designee without involving the court system.

If the fine is paid within a specified time period, there would be no further action required by the city or violator and the city would retain 100 percent of the fine amount.

Should the fine not be paid or the violator chooses to contest the citation, city staff would follow up and issue the violator a municipal infraction citation, which would require or allow the violator to appear in court and be charged a court cost of $85, plus the fine assessed by the magistrate if found guilty.

A new schedule of penalties was also presented with the first offense ranging from $50 to $250, second offense from $500 to $750 plus court costs and the third or any subsequent offense coming in at $750 to a maximum fine of $1,000 plus court costs.

A survey of fine schedules for 10 area communities found that Newton’s fine amounts are significantly lower than most, even with an increase to $50. Currently, the

Get real

Trending

Editor’s Note: This column was first published on May 14, 2015.

T

he only way to reach Florida’s Cayo Costa State Park is by boat. It’s a small barrier island off the gulf coast between Sarasota and Ft. Myers. When visitors motor up to the only dock on the island, a sign welcomes the adventures with the slogan “Welcome to the ‘Real’ Florida.” This is a place to get real.

The island is equipped with crude, cold-water showers, primitive plots for tent camping and a few small huts to rent for those adventurers looking

Mike Mendenhall for a bit more shelter from the quick pop-up storm. There is a small ranger station on the island with a mini convenient store, and the closest urban amenities are on the mainland 30 miles over Atlantic waters. It doesn’t get more real than that.

It may sound isolated — and it is — but what I love most about the tropical desert island is the freedom that comes with that solitude. If folks leave their cell phone at home and take all the necessary provisions, the isolation

will bring back the “real” you.

Miles of hiking through tropical trees — some trails leading to secluded beaches — can remind a businessman/woman, doctor, lawyer, grocery store clerk or journalist what it means to be human. Emerging from the brush to an oceanfront trail head leaves a person with the water, waves, blue sky and their own thoughts.

When surrounded by “the real Florida” it reminds the adventurer why they took that high-stress job and the reason they work 60 hours per week — it can be fulfilling but should be more of a means to get to this existential end.

Not maintaining any deadlines other than making that last kayaking

trip before the sun goes down is freeing. Standing on a beach with only a few other adventurous campers, all watching the sun set in silence, creates a more personal connection than the most introspective conversation.

But there is no need to drive 1,500 miles to discover “the real” anything.

Leaving the cell phone, tablet and laptop on the kitchen table and walking into Iowa’s backyard allows anyone to find “the real.” Iowa’s rivers, trails and prairies can provide all the “real” an adventurer needs to ensure they remember why we struggle through the every-day.

Get lost and get real.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Mohrfeld promotes solar energy Michael Mohrfeld stands in front of one of the four huge solar-panel arrays his company, Mohrfeld Electric, installed at Huffman Welding and Machine, Inc., in Ft. Madison. It’s late morning on a sunny day. The panels are supplying all of the energy requirements for the manufacturing firm. In fact, they are producing more energy than required. The excess energy is fed back into the Alliant-Energy grid in the form of a credit.

Huffman Welding and Machine, Inc. went online with the solar-panel system in December, 2015.

Already, the panels have produced $10,000 worth of electricity. State and Federal tax credits paid for about 45% of the cost of the solar-panel installation.

The rest will be paid back in energy savings. Typical payback, with incentives, is five-to-seven years.

The 208 kilowatt system is set up for what is called “net metering.” The goal was to reduce 90 percent to 100 percent of Huffman’s electric bill. That goal has been met. During a typical summer month, with lots of sunshine, Huffman’s will produce a credit moving forward. During peak periods of the day, the panels are making more electricity than is required. There is a bi-directional meter, so the panels can push electricity out to the grid, and/or send it to Huffman’s. At 6:00 o’clock in the morning, when Huffman’s starts production, they draw electricity from the grid. A few hours later, the panels are handling the load.

When I wrote about Michael Mohrfeld a year ago, he was heavy into developing a large subdivision in Ft. Madison called Green Oak Development.

I stated at the time that when the 50 some homes at Green Oak were completed, Mohrfeld would be looking for another project. Well, he couldn’t wait.

Green Oak is about half done, but he has gone ahead with the development of another subdivision in West Point, called South Park. Some of the features, which he has also incorporated into Green Oak, are homes being built on a lot-and-a-half, allowing for bigger homes, yards, and three-car garages. One of the homes I toured, has a master-bedroom closet with a back door to the laundry room. Very unique, very efficient.

Solar is an option on all the homes Mohrfeld builds. With a 15-or-30-year note, if solar is added to the cost of a home, it’s only an increase of $20 $25 per month, while saving $100 - $150 per month on electricity. It’s an easy sell for the home owner and the banker.

But wait. Mohrfeld has started a third subdivision. As yet unnamed, it’s on Bluff Road in Ft. Madison, and overlooks the city, as well as the Mississippi River. It will be about 3/4 of a mile long, on 120 acres of bluff property. Mohrfeld is in the process of moving a lot of dirt, clearing trees, and getting ready to put in infrastructure. The subdivision will have a pond. Mohrfeld plans on building higher-end, walk-out style condos on one side of the development, and custom homes on the other. Because of the terrain, a drone was called into service for surveying, like a bumblebee mapping out a clover field.

The “Mohr” in “Mohrfeld” means “more.”

Mohrfeld Electric just completed all of the building-shell-electrical work on Silgan Container Corporation in Burlington. Mohrfeld Electric is also doing the electrical work on the SCC additions in West Burlington and Keokuk.

Thinking outside the breaker box, Michael Mohrfeld, recognizing the need for housing, is on the cutting edge of construction and energy savings.

He likes nothing more than to drive down a street he has developed and see cars in driveways, barbecue grills fired up, and kids playing in yards. His dad taught him a long time ago that, “If you take care of the community, the community will take care of you.”

YOUR VIEW

Breckenridge is diligent, dedicated I am a proud Jasper County resident and public servant. I strongly encourage you to vote in the primary election on June 7. This election is important on all levels and we must exercise our right and privilege to vote for the candidates of our choice.

One of the local candidates running for House District 29 is Wes Breckenridge. I have had the opportunity to work with Wes for more than 25 years. Wes con-

Effective teaching concepts lacking Is Iowa adopting yet another waste of money in order to appear to be addressing education ineffectiveness? It appears so.

MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) — final report dated December 2012 — prepared by the National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance shows waste is eminent. According to the Executive Summary, the MAP program includes computer-adaptive assessments administered to students three to four times a year and teacher training to access MAP resources on how to use the data to differentiate instruction. This is all the rage in educator publications — according to the study — so the study was done to see if the claims could be verified. Educator theories need to be tested because radical ones eliminated concepts, introduced a phonics

tacted me earlier this year and asked that I consider supporting him for this position.

My answer to Wes was an immediate yes. Honor, integrity, honesty and dedication are all characteristics of a good candidate. Wes has these traits. He has consistently and diligently worked through many challenging and complicated situations.

His experience in law enforcement and public service add credibility to his desire to serve us at the Iowa State Capitol.

Wes will listen to our concerns, and make the best deci-

sions, not for what is best for one person, but for everyone as a whole. He is trustworthy and disciplined. He will make time for those who have concerns. He will follow up with those concerns and continue to communicate with citizens.

Finally, Wes has a true servant’s heart. He is ready and willing to take this service to a higher level and to better serve us.

Please consider supporting and voting for Wes Breckenridge on June 7.

program with rules so bad they fail to cover all words, and drove student proficiencies to the bottom of developed countries.

The study of the MAP process asked one primary question and two secondary questions: 1) Did the MAP program affect reading achievement after two years? 2) Were MAP resources received and used as planned? 3) Did MAP teachers apply differentiated instructional practices in their classes to a greater extent?

The conclusion of the report was that teachers were not more likely to apply differentiated instructional practices in their classes. If the teachers are not following up with a change in their teaching methods, then the “dreamed of ” results are not going to happen.

This would put the fad into the category of yet another educator “fix” that cost millions but failed to get results.

I asked a representative of the Iowa Department of Education, about standards on MAP assess-

ments since Iowa has been using the low standard of 41st NPR rather than grade level (making all results appear better than they are, including graduation rates), and his response was not encouraging. While some standards in some disciplines go up a point or two, others go down.

Any claims that using MAP will raise Iowa proficiency standards cannot be supported according to the study.

The approach of applying differentiated instructional practices is a good one, but the problem is that Iowa teachers lack the training to do this, which is why schools force so many students into Special Ed. Effectively teaching concepts using differentiated instructional practices would significantly reduce the number of Special Ed students — including ESL students — not raise numbers, as Iowa schools are doing.

Friendship fades when girl’s best friend gets a boyfriend

DEAR ABBY: My beautiful, kindhearted, loving daughter “Cora” has a “best friend” she used to be very close with. However, her friend now has a boyfriend, so Cora doesn’t see her on weekends or receive texts from her very often anymore. Everything they plan to do together, the girl cancels. My daughter is so distraught that it is affecting her emotionally and physically.

Cora has told her friend many times how she feels, but it has made no difference. Her friend promises her things and never follows through.

My daughter suffers from social anxiety, so making a good friend is a rarity for her. I tell her I love her and that I’m always here for her, but although Cora sees a therapist, nothing seems to comfort her.

The school she attends stops accepting new students after ninth grade, so there is no chance of her meeting anybody new. We have tried having her join other activities, but they don’t last. I’m desperate to help her. Any advice? — BROKENHEARTED MOM DEAR MOM: If you haven’t already, talk to Cora’s therapist. There may be a medication that will help to lessen her intense social anxiety, or she may need a different therapist.

What’s going on between your daughter and her former best friend isn’t unusual. When romance intervenes, it is common for teenage girls to focus their attention and energy on the boyfriend and less on their girlfriends. Expecting this girl to be your daughter’s sole support system is unrealistic and unfair to the girl.

Because it is unlikely that Cora will find new friends in the context of school, continue to find outside activities that will give her something to do as well as contact with other teens.

And, if Cora is open to it, you might

consider having her volunteer at an animal rescue group or letting her adopt a pet from a shelter.

DEAR ABBY: A friend sent me a sample line of face care products from a company she works for. She included a lip balm I used, and sunscreen that contains a chemical to which I am allergic. I offered to send that sample back.

When I researched the ingredients of the other products, I was dismayed to see that they contain many chemicals, too. (I try to use organic products as much as possible because I have sensitive skin.) Should I return the whole unused sample kit? I obviously can’t return the lip balm. Or should I just thank her and keep — but not use — them? These are high-end products from Europe, and she has been so “wowed” by them that she has become a consultant and is excited to promote them. — RETURN TO SENDER? DEAR R.T.S.?: Talk with your friend and thank her for her generosity, but explain that you are unable to use the products. Ask if she would like the unused products returned to her and take your cue from her. If she has had to pay for the products she’s representing, she may be glad to have them back to share with others.

by changing plea to guilty

DES MOINES — A man charged with vehicular homicide changed his mind and decided to plead guilty, interrupting jury selection for what would have been his trial in Des Moines.

Thirty-four-year-old Michael Liggett, of Monroe, took the action Wednesday. Liggett is scheduled to be sentenced July 1.

SIDNEY — A southwest Iowa pastor has been given 25 years in prison for sexually abusing a 5-year-old girl.

Roger Kissel was sentenced Wednesday in Sidney. In March a Fremont County jury convicted the 68-year-old of sex abuse and two counts of lascivious acts with a child. When he was arrested, Kissel was a pastor at the nondenominational Sidney Cowboy Church.

SPIRIT LAKE — Officials say about 15,000 gallons of untreated wastewater has reached one of Iowa’s Great Lakes. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says the wastewater was discovered Wednesday morning in a lagoon on West Okoboji Lake, following an electrical failure at a Spirit Lake pumping station. The Great Lakes Sanitary Sewer District has stopped the discharge but some wastewater overflowed through two manhole lids. The wastewater reached Lazy Lagoon, on the northwest shore of the lake.

Grinnell DAR Chapter honors veterans

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | May 5, 2016

Monroe resident participated in service trip STORM LAKE — Emily Phipps, a senior biology major from Monroe, and nine other Buena Vista University students participated in an Alternative Week of Off-site Learning trip during spring break, enabling them to volunteer their time and service with a focus on

environmental conservation and permaculture lifestyle in Las Marias, Puerto Rico.

For Phipps, a student site leader on the trip, “My eyes were opened to a different world, a world that revolved around taking care of the Earth and each other.

“I learned how easy it is for people from diverse backgrounds to come together and create such a beautiful environment. I will always remember this trip because I was able to see how love brings people together to create change in the world.”

Branstad orders flags at half-staff Friday Submitted Photo Jeanette Shannon, standing center, presented certificates of “Grateful Nation to Vietnam Veterans” during the Jasper County veterans’ monthly gathering at Midtown Cafe.

Newton Daily News The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Grinnell Chapter, had the honor to attend two meetings of the Jasper County Vietnam Era Veterans to hand out certificates.

DAR Regent Kris Macy, Jeanette Shannon, and Secretary Suzanne Van Zandt recognized the veterans with “Grateful Nation to Vietnam Veterans” certificates of valor, service, and sacrifice during the Vietnam

War. “The certificates honor the 50th anniversary of the end of the war in Southeast Asia. Most of the veterans never received any thanks, let alone a certificate, and were very appreciative,” says Macy.

DAR presented 53 certificates to the Jasper Vietnam group plus one to a Korean veteran, who always joins them and represents Uncle Sam at their special functions. This included three widows who received certificates for their husbands.

May declared ALS Awareness Month The ALS Association educates Iowans about the disease Newton Daily News DES MOINES – Gov. Terry Branstad signed a proclamation declaring May as ALS Awareness Month. This month, The ALS Association Iowa Chapter wants to educate Iowans about the disease and how they can help fight ALS. “Most people have heard of ALS thanks to the Ice Bucket Challenge, but many are still unaware of the daily struggles of those living with the disease,” said Josh Nuss, executive director of The ALS Association Iowa Chapter. “During ALS Awareness Month, we want to help Iowans understand more about the devastating disease we are fighting to treat and cure.”

What is ALS? Each year, about

5,000 Americans are diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and given just two to five years to live. A progressive neurodegenerative disease with no known cause, cure or treatment, ALS destroys nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. As it progresses, those with the disease lose their ability to talk, walk, swallow and to breathe on their own. In most cases, the minds of those with ALS are unaffected, so they are able to understand and think like they were before their diagnosis.

While ALS generally affects people between ages 40 and 70, it can happen to anyone at any age and many younger Iowans are now facing a diagnosis. Nearly 90 percent of ALS cases are sporadic, affecting those

with no family history of the disease. For an unknown reason, military veterans are twice as likely to develop ALS. “We witness every day how difficult this disease can be for Iowans and their friends and family members,” said Nuss.

“Although there is not yet a cure or treatment that stops or reverses ALS, significant advances in ALS research during the past several years have made this the greatest time of hope in the fight against ALS.” The Fight to Defeat ALS The ALS Association Iowa Chapter has many programs and events that give Iowans the opportunity to get involved. Every year, the Iowa Chapter holds Walk to Defeat ALS events in Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, the Quad

Cities and Sioux City.

The walks help raise funds for research to find a cure and to provide local programs and services to Iowans with ALS and their caregivers, such as the equipment loan closet, Quality of Life grants, home visits and ALS specific

clinics.

In August, Iowans will have another opportunity to participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge. Iowans’ support during the challenge over the past two years has significantly helped with the amount of care and services provided to

fellow Iowans with ALS. Join the fight to defeat ALS by participating in a local walk, taking the Ice Bucket Challenge, volunteering to help a person living with the disease or by simply telling a friend about ALS. Visit alsaiowa.org for more information.

American Ethanol, Enogen sponsoring Xfinity Series race at Iowa Speedway Newton Daily News It’s the same, but different as American Ethanol and Enogen renew sponsorships for races at Iowa Speedway’s 2016 season.

American Ethanol is the entitlement sponsor and Enogen serves as the presenting sponsor for the NASCAR Xfinity Series race during Wide Opening Weekend, June 18-19. The two switch from the truck series to the Xfinity Series race at Iowa Speedway.

Iowa Speedway announced the sponsorships Tuesday. The NASCAR Xfinity Series American Ethanol E15 250 presented by Enogen on June 19, represents the fifth consecutive year of the American Ethanol partnership and the fourth consecutive year with Enogen at Iowa Speedway.

While the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series idles for a week, the green flag will wave at Iowa Speedway for a firstof-its-kind doubleheader weekend in central Iowa. For the first time ever, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series are paired together during Wide Opening Weekend on June 18-19.

“American Ethanol and Enogen stepping up to sponsor our NASCAR Xfinity Series race is another great indicator of the important platform Iowa Speedway and NASCAR provide to brands,” Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small said.

“The adoption of biofuels grown and made in the USA, creating much needed green jobs in Iowa and across the Heartland is one of the tenets of NASCAR Green. American Ethanol has proven to be a tremendous part-

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Changing it up in 2016, American Ethanol and Enogen move race sponsorship from NASCAR Camping World Truck Series to the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Iowa Speedway. It will be the American Ethanol E15 250 presented by Enogen for the Speedway’s opening weekend in June.

ner not only for Iowa Speedway, but for NASCAR’s teams, fans and the industry as a whole.”

American Ethanol and Enogen were the former title and presenting sponsors of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Iowa Speedway. American Ethanol, along with Enogen, join the Iowa Corn Growers Association in renewing their long standing relationships with the speedway in 2016.

“As NASCAR approaches 10 million flawless miles running on Sunoco Green E15, we’re excited for yet another opportunity to showcase the pow-

er and the high-quality performance ethanol brings to the race track,” Jeff Broin, co-chair of Growth Energy, said. “It’s no secret biofuels create jobs in our country and work great in our engines. American Ethanol is proud to partner with Iowa Speedway and the NASCAR Xfinity series to show that an ethanol-based bio-fuel is the future.”

Representing a wide array of ethanol supporters, from farmers to bio-engineering firms, American Ethanol was established by Growth Energy in partnership with the National Corn Growers Association to increase

Mitchell, PCM girls claim HOIC titles

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BOONE — Prairie City-Monroe’s girls golf team had a big day at the Heart of Iowa Conference tournament Wednesday.

The Mustangs placed three golfers in the top 12 positions, had the overall meet medalist and won the team championship by 11 strokes over runner-up Nevada.

Sophomore Madeline Mitchell led the Mustangs for the second straight day. She was the overall medalist with a 90, while junior Breanna Maher tied for fourth with a 98. Also placing in the top 12 was sophomore Sabrina Reed, who shot a 107.

PCM carded a 415 on the day.

Nevada shot a 426 in second, while Gilbert was third with a 431, Greene County finished fourth with a 433 and Roland-Story carded a 435 in fifth.

South Hamilton (462), North Polk (481) and Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter (492) completed the eight-

team field at the par 72 Cedar Pointe Golf Course.

After Mitchell, Maher and Reed, the final counting score came from senior Abby Van Haaften and junior Courtney Bridges. They both finished with a 120.

Sophomore Ellie Steenhoek shot a 130.

CMB was led by sophomore Brynne Pritchard, who shot a 113 and finished 16th overall. Sophomore Abbie Ericson and freshman Katie Garber both turned in 126s, while senior Courtney Clapper’s 127 was the final counting score.

Freshman Payon Cory shot a non-counting 131.

PCM plays at Moravia on Thursday, in Newton on Friday and at Knoxville on Saturday. CMB has two weeks off before the opening round of regionals on May 16. The Raiders will play at Coldwater Golf Course in Ames.

good sign for me that the spring seasons are winding down and heading toward the postseason is the Cardinal Relays in Newton. The annual track meet seems to fall between area conference and state qualifying meets every year.

This year is no different. Here is a look at where some area athletes rank in track.

Newton will compete in Class 3A on the track this season.

According to numbers recorded into quikstatsiowa.com, the Cardinals’ girls sprint medley team ranks seventh overall in 3A. The foursome of Liz McVey, Alex Hutchinson, Leela Spen-

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie CIty-Monroe’s Madeline Mitchell shot a 90 to win the girls’ Heart of Iowa Conference meet at Cedar Pointe Golf Course Wednesday in Boone.

This & That Troy Hyde cer and Sydney Jenkins just competed at the Drake Relays.

Haley Revell, of Newton, recently won the shot put at the conference meet.

She has the 14th best throw in 3A. For the Newton boys, the best event appears to be the distance medley relay.

The foursome of Clayton Baltisberger, Matthew Karsten, Jack Callaghan and Brennen Dodd claimed a conference title this week. Their 3A ranking in the event currently sits at 15th.

There are a few other area male athletes ranked in the top 15 in their class and event.

In 2A, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter Brady Stover ranks ninth in the 100-meter dash and Raider Will Clapper moved up to 13th with his Heart of Iowa Conference winning throw on Tuesday.

Prairie City-Monroe Noah Clark has had a breakout season in the dis-

awareness of the value of American-made ethanol. Ethanol represents the most commercially-viable alternative to 100 percent petroleum-based fuel that America currently holds, and corn ethanol reduces emissions by 59 percent.

“Ethanol is helping America reduce its dependence on foreign oil, lowering prices at the pump, improving the environment with lower emissions, and growing the economy with jobs that can’t be outsourced,” Jack Bernens, head of Enogen at Syngenta, said.

RACING | 2B

Kentucky Derby is Saturday LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Doug O’Neill was all smiles after early 3-1 favorite Nyquist drew the No. 13 post for the 142nd Kentucky Derby.

The number with an unlucky reputation didn’t faze the trainer. In fact, it brought back good memories.

Nyquist left from the same spot when he won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile last year at Keeneland, part of his 7-0 career record.

“No matter if we drew the one or the 20, the thought is we were going to leave there with the intent of being forwardly placed and just play it by ear,” O’Neill said Wednesday after the post-position draw.

“More than anything, I’m so happy with the way he’s training, the way he’s acting.

He’s thriving on all the positive attention.”

Four horses have won from the No. 13 spot since 1900, most recently Smarty

cus. He currently ranks 15th in 2A. The Tigerhawks of Colfax-Mingo have the highest ranked area male athlete right now. Jacob Lietz has the fourth best 400 time in 1A and his teammate Gabe Simpson sits eighth in the event.

C-M’s 4x400 and distance medley relays rank fifth in 1A. Lietz and Simpson are part of both relays along with fellow Tigerhawk Blake Summy and Colin Lourens.

The final area male athlete who is ranked in the top 15 in an event is Lynnville-Sully’s Sage Ehresman. He ranks 10th in the shot put right now.

PCM’s Jayci Vos has the highest ranking of any area athlete and maybe the best chance to win a state title. Vos sits second in the 400 hurdles in 2A. Vos is in the top 11 of two other events for the Mustangs. The 4x200 relay ranks eighth and that team also includes Emily Hugen, Ashley Miller and Ashley Van Gorp.

The 4x400 relay team at PCM is currently 11th in 2A. That foursome is Rachel Stafford, Van Gorp, Payton Schut and Vos. The quartet of Vos, Hugen, Tatum

DERBY | 2B Nearmyer and Stafford also sit 14th in the 2A in the distance medley relay.

CMB’s Toni Spencer just won the HOIC long jump with a career-best leap of more 16 feet, 4 inches Tuesday.

That puts her 14th overall in 2A. The Lynnville-Sully 4x200 relay team ranks ninth in 1A. That foursome includes Kasiah Ehresman, Makenzy Rozendaal, Brenna Lanser and Jataya Meyer.

The numbers are ever changing, and they depend largely on coaches posting them online in a timely manner. This gives you an idea of how the area is doing this spring.

The Cardinal Relays Thursday won’t be the same to me without Tim Trier.

He is one of those legends to the town of Newton for many different reasons.

He impacted a lot of students in the community.

He was gone too soon. I will miss his presence, and his red hat, at the Cardinal Relays every year. I think I need to bring my old red hat out of retirement tonight in his honor.

Lincecum to pitch for clubs Friday in comeback bid SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum will pitch for major league clubs in a showcase event Friday as he attempts to make a comeback from hip surgery last year.

The free agent righthander is set to hold his much-anticipated throwing session Friday in Arizona, according to Paul Kuo, spokesman for Lincecum’s agency, Beverly Hills Sports Council.

A location and time were not yet announced for the showcase, but dozens of scouts and executives are expected to be in attendance with their radar guns at the ready.

The San Francisco Giants will be there as planned all along, general manager Bobby Evans said Sunday night.

That does not necessarily mean they will re-sign the pitcher who helped them win three World Series in five years — 2010, Lincecum ‘12 and ‘14 — though they certainly have interest in how Lincecum looks after his lengthy rehab, not to mention an overall care and concern given what “The Freak” has meant to the franchise.

San Francisco could consider offering Lincecum a creative contract that would give the team some flexibility if the move didn’t work out.

The 31-year-old Lincecum underwent an arthroscopic

procedure on his hip Sept. 3.

He hopes to get a chance with a big league team this season.

He didn’t pitch after June 27 last year because of degenerative hips and went 7-4 with a 4.13 ERA in 15 starts.

That’s after he pitched two no-hitters in an 11-month span against San Diego, first in July 2013 and again in June 2014.

Lincecum wrapped up a $35 million, two-year contract that paid him $18 million last year. He spent the offseason rehabbing in Arizona rather than his regular Seattle-area routine.

In 2010, he pitched the Game 5 World Series clincher at Texas and then was a key reliever during the 2012 title run and four-game sweep of Detroit. While Lincecum

pitched his second no-hitter against the Padres on June 25, 2014, the four-time All-Star was moved to the bullpen in late August of that year. But manager Bruce Bochy made it clear he would start 2015 back in the rotation.

While Lincecum said in late September he had “hope” of being back with the Giants, he was most focused on his health first and foremost so he gave himself the best chance to mount a meaningful comeback this year.

Lincecum’s showcase was pushed back multiple times because he wasn’t ready. His father and longtime pitching coach, Chris Lincecum, guaranteed in an interview with Comcast Sports Net Bay Area that his son would be pitching again this year.

Derby

first in a 20-horse field,” Keith said. “It might be less than perfect but it doesn’t bother me much because my horse has always been real calm in the gate. What’s there to worry about?”

Creator, Gun Runner and Mohaymen are the co-third choices at 10-1. Creator will break from the No. 3 post with Gun Runner in the No. 5.

Both are trained by Steve Asmussen. Mohaymen drew the No. 14 post for trainer Kiaran McLaughlin.

Mor Spirit, trained by fourtime Derby winner Bob Baffert and ridden by three-time winner Gary Stevens, will break from the No. 17 post.

No horse has won from there in the race’s previous 141 editions. Mor Spirit is 12-1, the same odds as Brody’s Cause, who drew No. 19.

Last year, Baffert won with American Pharoah, who swept

the Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes to win the sport’s first Triple Crown in 37 years.

“The last time I had the 17 post was Point Given with Gary Stevens (fifth in 2001), and here we are again,” Baffert said. “I wanted the 16. All the speed is on the outside, so there will probably be two different races going on.”

Speedster Danzing Candy drew the No. 20 post on the far outside. Hall of Fame rider Mike Smith will be gunning his horse to gain the lead before the chaotic first turn.

“I’m sure Mike Smith is happy,” Stevens said. “That speed horse is nasty in the starting gate so he won’t be in there long. I’m glad of that because I need a target in front of me.”

Todd Pletcher will saddle a pair of 15-1 shots in Destin and Outwork. Chad Brown has 20-1 shots My Man Sam

and Shagaf.

The dreaded No. 1 spot that pins a horse to the inside rail coming out of the gate went to Trojan Nation, who has yet to win a race. Along with Trojan Nation, the other 50-1 shot is Oscar Nominated, whose owners Ken and Sarah Ramsey put up a supplemental fee of $200,000 to get him into the race.

That fee boosted the Derby purse to $2,391,600 if 20 horses start. The winner would receive $1,631,000.

Japanese entry Lani is listed at 30-1. The horse is known to be unpredictable in the gate, where he landed in the No. 8 hole.

New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson has a pair of long shots in 20-1 Mo Tom and 30-1 Tom’s Ready. Saints coach Sean Payton was on hand to lend support. Mo Tom drew the No. 4 post and Tom’s Ready got No. 12.

Continued from Page 1B Jones in 2004. O’Neill, jockey Mario Gutierrez and owner Paul Reddam teamed to win the race in 2012 with I’ll Have Another.

“The whole team is pumped up,” O’Neill said. “We’re just very optimistic for a big day.”

Exaggerator drew the No. 11 post and is the 8-1 second choice in the full field of 20 horses for the 1 1/4-mile race Saturday at Churchill Downs.

He’s trained by Keith Desormeaux, whose Hall of Fame brother, Kent, will be aboard.

Horses are loaded into the gate two at a time, starting with posts one and 11, which spend the most time waiting for the start.

“Kent thinks it’s a little disadvantage because we load

Racing Continued from Page 1B “Ethanol is an important success story and the American Ethanol E15 250 is an excellent opportunity to engage consumers and help increase awareness for the benefits of earth-friendly American ethanol. Syngenta is pleased to once again be working with Iowa Speedway and Growth Energy to support the ethanol industry through our sponsorship of this event to tell ethanol’s story,” Bernens said.

In 2011, NASCAR launched its long-term biofuels program to reduce emissions of the fuel used in all its racing series. As part of the partnership, NASCAR’s three national touring series began using Sunoco Green E15; a 15 percent ethanol blend bio-fuel, made from American-grown corn. By uti-

lizing Sunoco Green E15 race fuel, NASCAR has demonstrated that ethanol-blended fuel performs when held to the highest standards.

Iowa Speedway season tickets, which are currently on sale, include eight high-powered races over three weekends.

W i d e Opening Weekend will feature both the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series American Ethanol E15 250 presented

by Enogen during Father’s Day Weekend on June 18-19.

The second weekend of racing will showcase the ARCA Racing Series 150 presented by Casey’s General Stores, the IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300, Indy Lights and Pro Mazda Championship on July 9-10.

The 2016 race season will close on July 29-30 with the NASCAR K&N Pro Series Casey’s General Stores 150 and NASCAR Xfinity Series U.S. Cellular 250.

strange ideas about how the world works and the meanings of things, but you’ll be more amused than offended.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Many wonderful ideas look a lot easier than they really are. What starts out as the best idea ever will develop into a royal pain unless you quickly get other people involved to help handle the dozens of details likely to come up.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

A disagreement exists between you and your dear comrade.

Why does everything have to be solved? Take it on if you must, but if you don’t, rest assured there are truly have enough commonalities to go on for a long while.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You make others feel comfortable -maybe too comfortable. You’re constantly getting information and stories you wish you could un-hear. Take heart in the fact that you’re doing an important public service.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Inanimate objects will provide interesting obstacles for your mind and body to find a way around. Being forced to deal with impossibly cumbersome resources and inadequate tools is what will make you great.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To want too much from someone is an act of rejection. To want nothing more or other than what the person naturally delivers is an act of love. Expect a loved one to be who they are and do

what they do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’ve been exposed to many different ideas and beliefs. Furthermore, you’ve been praised and rewarded for your open mind. This isn’t the norm in many societies. One of the hardest things for you to tolerate is intolerance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are so many ways to go wrong, most of which can be easily accessed from a state of impatience. So cling to the one virtue that will most keep you from regret: patience.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re not out to change anyone’s mind, and you resent when others try to change yours. Also, this almost never

works. Once you’ve decided on what to do, it’s as good as done.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

What you’re putting out to the world is a little on the unusual side and frankly so are you -- at least according to the new people lucky enough to experience what you do today. Gather contact information!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Because you understand how a person’s past can affect his or her behavior, you are slow to judge the one who responds more drastically than is necessary. Your wisdom will one day be deeply appreciated.
