Prairie City dog-mauling trial completes first day of testimony Mother of 4-year-old victim takes the stand

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News Jessica Arndt, the mother of 4-year-old Jordyn Arndt, testified Thursday in the case of a 26-year-old Prairie City woman charged with child endangerment following a dog-mauling incident resulting in Jordyn’s death.

Wright is accused of leaving the 4-yearold unattended with an

American Staffordshire terrier at 300 S. Marshall St. in Prairie City, April 22, 2013. According to Jessica Arndt’s testimony, Wright was babysitting Jordyn Arndt at the time of the animal attack, which caused injuries ultimately resulting in the child’s death.

While on stand, Jessica Arndt shed tears multiple times — once while family photos of her daughter were shown to the jury and again when she described the day of the incident to the court.

She testified that

Wright called her directly following the attack and described the defendant as being “hysterical” over the phone.

The Prairie City mother and the defendant were friends for nearly 15 years prior to the incident. Jessica Arndt was aware she had three dogs, but had no reason to believe her children were in any danger in Wright’s care, she said.

On the stand, Jessica Arndt said Wright told she didn’t consider the WRIGHT | 3A

Skiff to send two nurses to specialized training

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News A bus pulls into the transportation lot of the Newton Community School District. The transportation department has documented 21 violations in 2015 for drivers who have passed school buses that had lights flashing.

Violations for passing school buses on the rise

Newton district issues 21 violations this year

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Ask nearly any American adult about ill-advised driving decisions around school buses and most will probably say they’ve seen at least one or two unsafe moves in their lifetime.

Ask any Newton Community School District bus driver how often they see dangerous moves by drivers at a bus stop, and

they’ll likely recall a very recent occurrence.

Iowa law requires all motorists to come to a complete stop whenever a bus’s red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, but Newton bus drivers told the Newton Daily News many drivers don’t follow the protocol. The NCSD transportation has a form called a “school and bus warning devices violation report,” and 21 of those forms have been com-

pleted since Jan. 1.

The forms are turned in to the Newton Police Department, and 14 of those violations have resulted in motorists being cited. John Heck, who is in his third year of driving for Newton Schools, said many drivers either are driving too fast for a road and its conditions, or treat the bus’s amber-colored warning slowdown lights as a challenge to get past a bus.

When patients show up at an emergency room and say they’ve been sexually assaulted, hospitals have very specific protocols to follow. Thanks to a special training course and some funding from The United Way of Jasper County, Skiff Medical Center might be able to serve those patients in a more effective way.

Funding was recently awarded to Skiff to send two registered nurses to Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner training, to be held at the University of Iowa’s College of Nursing in Iowa City the week of June 1-5. Heather Clayton, Skiff ’s emergency services director, said there are three main benefits to getting this certification for nurses.

It will allow nurses to perform tasks that an emergency room patient would normally need to wait for a doctor to perform, reducing the overall time each patient is in the ER. Since nurses are already the main staff who are in contact with a patient, the process will have more of a personal touch, and lastly, the chain of evidence custody will have more integrity.

Clayton said the SANE training will al-

low a registered nurse to execute an extensive collection process that otherwise must be performed by a medical doctor. With about four hours needed to complete the procedure, committing an emergency-room doctor to that process is not the same strain on resources as having a nurse complete it.

“For victims who come into the ER, their emotional needs are not always met,” Clayton said. “SANE is a compassionate approach that maintains the chain of (evidence) custody in a much better way.”

Clayton said Skiff sent two employees to SANE training in Council Bluffs several months ago, and is sending two nurses to the 40-hour training in Iowa City in early June, thanks to funding from the United Way. Jessica Lowe, the executive director for United Way of Jasper County, said Skiff is this year’s recipient of an annual grant. The $1,800 allocated by United Way is a grant to cover the fee for the SANE training class.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Kellogg Lions Club volunteer Bob Price, right, reads to Woodrow Wilson Elementary School student Alonzo Perry Jr. during the Lions’ May 1 visit to the Newton campus. The annual visit was the Kellogg Lions’ third trek to Woodrow Wilson to read to special-education students.

Kellogg Lions read with Woodrow Wilson students Reading program now in its third year

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News “There’s nothing to be afraid of, here at the aquarium.”

That’s one of the lines Janice Price read from the book “Fly Guy Presents: Sharks” during a recent trip to Woodrow Wilson Elementary School. Price and three other volunteers from the Kellogg Lions Club made an annual trip to Woodrow Wilson on May 1 to read to the special-education students of teachers Jody Barr and Michelle Stoker.

The May 1 trip was the third trek the Kellogg Lions made to the school in recent years, the first one happening in 2013. By the looks on the faces of the volunteers and students, the activity is beneficial to all involved.

Janice and Bob Price are members of the Kellogg Lions, who take on various community service causes each year. Janice Price is also a para-professional at Woodrow Wilson.

While she sees progress in students as they go through an entire school year, some of the other Kellogg Lions also saw signs of development — even by only interacting with them one day per year.

“We love to see students grow,” Janice Price said. “We love to see them learn about different things.”

Literacy, hospice facilities and food pantries are among the types of community causes taken up by Lions clubs. The Kellogg Lions’ benefit causes are funded greatly by monthly pancake breakfasts.

Price said because the Lions have been over to Woodrow Wilson in multiple years, they’ve had a chance to see how much progress each young reader has made.

“Some of them, we’ve followed through the fifth and sixth grades, and now they’ll be going into seventh (at Berg Middle School),” Price said. “Some have

made gains just since the start of the school year.”

Gage Eilander, one of the students who was in Barr’s special-education classroom at Woodrow Wilson for the May 1 reading session, looked on as Price read from “Fly Guy Presents: Sharks.” Eilander went on to tell Price a great deal of details he’d learned along the way about sharks and their behavior.

Price said part of the reading efforts are to make special education students feel included in the school process.

Eilander is an example of a student clearly accepted by his peers. At a March assembly, he was one of the students asked to stand up and be recognized for his progress and efforts during a recently completed quarter, and he garnered as much applause as any other student honored that day.

Local News Wright Continued from Page 1A dog to be her property, but the Wright’s. She also said Wright once told her she hated that dog.

During cross-examination by defense attorney TJ Hier, Jessica Arndt confirmed a statement she made to a reporter two years ago directly following the incident saying she did not blame Wright for what happened.

The mother’s testimony followed Jasper County Attorney Kelly Bennett’s opening argument. Bennett listed previous incidents involving the defendant’s dog, which he claims prove the defendant had knowledge of the dog’s aggressive behavior and it will show the defendant is guilty on each count.

Bennett also warned the jury they would see bloody images from the day of the incident.

Throughout the day, jurors endured photographs that showed the aftermath of the attack, including a picture of a puddle of blood in Wright’s backyard.

Prairie City’s Ambulance Department Director Carl Vander Kamp was among the first EMT’s on scene April 22, 2013 and took the witness stand Thursday. According to Vander Kamp, as he entered the defendant’s yard that day, he saw “quite a bit of blood” and a “small child laying on the ground.”

Buses Continued from Page 1A Iowa law requires drivers to not only stop immediately when seeing flashing red lights on a two- or three-lane road, but also to slow vehicles to 20 mph and be prepared to stop when the amber-colored lights begin flashing. Motorists are not permitted to pass when any color of school bus lights are flashing.

“Most people follow the rules,” Heck said.

“But those few that don’t really scare us drivers.

We’re responsible for these children, and they don’t always look before running out into harm’s way.”

Heck said by the time students get to about the fifth grade, looking both ways before crossing a street becomes automatic. However, groups of students of any age, who aren’t crossing a street or moving, might still accidentally wander into a roadway, even before a bus’s lights are flashing.

Among the 21 violations documented, eight were for violations around buses transporting some type of special-needs Newton students. These buses tend to have the stop-arm extended for a longer period of time than most other general-route buses — testing the patience of drivers more.

However, bus driver Diane Danmeier said sees drivers who don’t seem to have patience for a regular bus’s stops.

“A lot of stops only take about 30 seconds,” Danmeier said. “But people seem to have to keep moving so quickly.

They just have to go — they can’t wait.”

Curt Roorda is the supervisor of transportation for Newton Schools. He said while drivers certainly

From the time he arrived on scene to when Jordyn was airlifted to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines, he testified the girl never showed any viWright tals or signs of breathing.

Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty also testified Thursday, at which point the state played the 911 call directly following the attack.

On the recording, Wright appeared distressed saying the 4-year-old was bitten by her dog and told the dispatcher there was a lot of blood.

According to evidence submitted by the state, the attack took place between the defendant’s house and a garage. In addition to the puddle of blood in the grass, jurors were also shown images of blood droplets throughout the property, a blood stained doorknob and boot and blood splatter on the garage wall.

Testimony from Jasper County Deputy Jeremy Burdt — who was a responding officer — detailed splatter on the garage and explained it was the result of a dog rapidly shaking its head back and forth.

Burdt described the dog as being aggressive when he arrived on scene. He said he told

see drivers intentionally trying to move faster after seeing flashing bus lights, he said a major issue is drivers simply not noticing lights at all.

“Most drivers do comment on how ‘people just do not pay attention when they see a bus,’” Roorda said. “I think that the drivers feel like that other motorists just look at a bus as another vehicle on the road.”

Fortunately, tragic accidents involving children boarding or disembarking from school buses are rare in Iowa.

In the 2002-2011 period used for a recent Iowa Department of Transportation study, there were 29 child pedestrians killed on Iowa roads,

the defendant’s husband — who had hold of the dog at that time — he would shoot the dog if it got loose.

Another respondent on the day of the incident was Jasper County Varsity League Head of Animal Control Jill Harter.

Harter also described the dog as being aggressive, and at one point she said it lunged at her, which caused her to jump behind Burdt.

Photos of the dog, which showed the dog’s fur stained with blood, were shown to the jury and submitted into evidence.

Court adjourned at 2:30 p.m. and resume at 9 a.m. Friday.

The defense is expected to give its opening argument Monday or Tuesday.

If convicted, the defendant could face up to 25 years in prison for child endangerment resulting in death, a Class B felony, and up to 10 years for a conviction of neglect or abandonment, a Class C felony.

Wright is also facing charges of assault on a peace officer causing bodily injury and interference with official acts in this case. Wright allegedly kicked the arresting officer — former Prairie City Police Chief Louis Modlin — in the chest during a struggle at 601 S. Norris St. in Prairie City.

and children who seek care at Skiff,” Lowe said.

“While no one should ever go through the trauma of a sexual assault, the reality is that they do happen. Jasper County is lucky to have Skiff because as an organization; they realize the value in having these services available. I’m thankful for the outstanding ER personnel who are willing to take the next step in training to be able to provide comfort and care for those in need.”

The training involves helping locate and coordinate victim advocacy, building a nursing and forensic history of the patient, performing a speculum exam, testing for pregnancy and sexually-transmitted diseases and legal, ethical and cultural issues.

The hands-on approach involves a live patient model for exams, and there is mock trial in which nurses learn what to expect in the event they must testify in a court case.

Clayton said Skiff also has a practicum phase of SANE training that goes above and beyond the concepts and tasks covered in the regular 40 hours of training.

“In an assault, choices are taken away,” Clayton said. “The patient may decide to proceed or stop with any step of the process One important component — for us, in the medical field, is to give a victim choices in their treatment.”

but only two involved a school bus, and only one involved a stop-arm violation.

Getting law enforcement involved is not always easy. A section of Iowa Code known as “Kadyn’s Law,” passed in 2012, requires bus cameras to record activity, but police and sheriff ’s departments need to have clear identification of vehicles in order to issue citations.

Often, violators are moving much too fast for a bus driver to note a complete license plate number — especially while trying to safely manage young, energetic riders at the same time.

There were 733 convictions in Iowa in 2013

Continued from Page 1A

for failure to stop for a school bus, but only 12 in Jasper County. Polk County, for comparison, had 97 in that year.

Jasper County only had three convictions for that violation in 2010.

Newton High School Resource Officer Brian Foster said the number of violations reported to NPD has gone up within the past several weeks. He said aside from knowing that vehicles are required to stop for flashing schoolbus lights, not being distracted while at the wheel is an important factor in safety around buses.

An only parent’s daughter

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | May 8, 2015

Editor’s note: This column originally published on Jan. 23, 2015.

I grew up in a small three bedroom house in a good neighborhood not far from my elementary school, Thomas Jefferson.

It was quaint and clean, and except for Saturday mornings when I woke up to classic rock and a cleaning, happy mom, it was usually fairly quiet and relaxed. As an only child, we don’t make nearly as much fuss as a house full of kids.

My babysitter lived down the street and I’d walk there after school. I’d do my homework, eat dinner and stay up watching shows like Unsolved Mysteries until my mom came and picked me up after her night shift at the hospital. I’ll never forget that time in my life and knowing we couldn’t spend the evenings together because that was the best op-

tion for our family, and that was okay. Each family is different.

I didn’t know it at the time, but growing up in a one-parent household was an unknown blessing. I’ve learned a lot about hard work, independence, endurance, sacrifice and compromise that I wouldn’t of wanted it any different.

When you’re young, you don’t realize how hard your parents work to make your life ordinarily extraordinary.

When you grow up with one parent, you further don’t understand the required effort to adequately provide for a one-income family. I’m sure it wasn’t easy, but if it wasn’t, she never led on. With maturity, it became apparent that I owe a great deal of thanks and appreciation to my mom.

She has given me a strong will, support and a lifetime of memories from the special

bond a single parent and their children share.

My favorite memories growing up, like everyone else, are simple — like staying up past my bedtime, ordering from the Pizza House, and watching David Letterman in bed, or a Bond movie on television, or episodes of “Green Acres” on Nick at Nite. Or when we played in the back yard on my little metal swing set; when my mom surprised me on Valentine’s Day with this doll I had been wanting; and each and every vacation, even to the grotto in the middle of summer.

Over the years, I’ve watched my mom admirably advance her career for her own good going from a commuter at Principal Financial to a student in nursing school, and then from different nursing positions to her beloved time as a hospice nurse.

This week, she started a new endeavor working as a health facilities surveyor for the State of Iowa. I couldn’t be any prouder or happier for her than I am today.

It’s important to give credit when credit’s due and my mom deserves a lot.

Her self motivation and strong work ethic has been the most inspirational tool I could have received. I don’t think she knew then that those night shifts would’ve taught me so much about life. I didn’t know either.

Congratulations on your new job, mom. You deserve it. You absolutely deserve it.

Good luck adjusting, and training, but I know you don’t need it. You’ve been doing it perfectly your whole life.

During that march to the Elbe River, he had witnessed carnage and brutality that the average person could never understand.

The killing and combat were foreign to a kid from the Midwest. As he sat on the riverbank that day, he asked himself, “Why me? Why was I spared and so many others died?” That was a question many of the survivors would continue to ask of themselves.

The war officially came to

an end in September when the Japanese signed articles of surrender on the USS Missouri. At the end of the war, like most of his generation, Dad came home, worked hard, raised a family and never talked about it. As he often said, “I did what I had to do and made it home. I was lucky.”

There are well over 150 World War II vets alive in Jasper County today. We owe that entire generation of men and women a debt that we can never fully repay. Seventy years is a long time. As grateful citizens, let us never pass up an opportunity to tell them thank you for their service. We owe each of them an unmeasurable debt for the freedoms we often take for granted today. To those left who served, we will never forget your sacrifices that were made on our behalf. We are a grateful nation.

Thank you.

that our children have access to and with which parents have little contact and no control.

When you and I were bullied as kids, we went home and maybe went to our rooms to pout. Maybe we’d skip dinner, saying we didn’t feel well.

Today, kids that are bullied can’t even find relief in their own rooms.

Thanks to social media, the hurtful lies and attacks that torture them day in and day out at school follow them home.

That’s why the Iowa Senate voted 45 to 7 for a strong anti-bullying bill that will make a difference.

Governor Branstad likes it and says he will sign it.

Unfortunately, the leaders of the Iowa House don’t want to help.

They refuse to debate legislation that will reduce the number of Iowa kids choosing suicide to get away from today’s unescapable bul-

lying.

There are probably seventy-five votes in the House who would support this bipartisan anti-bullying bill, but a handful of representatives have decided: “No, we don’t debate it. We’ll talk about it next year, maybe.”

And Iowans will bury more of our children.

Well it’s not good enough for me, and it shouldn’t be good enough for you.

There is plenty of time to resolve any disagreements with this legislation, but you can’t solve a disagreement if you don’t sit down and talk about it.

I’m asking Iowans to urge the men and women who represent them in the Iowa House to demand a vote on the anti-bullying bill. Bullying can be a life or death issue. This spring, Iowa should help our children who need help.

Al Capone, the infamous mob boss and bootlegger in Chicagol a n d during t h e 1920s, always maintained that he was just a businessman.

By Jim T h e Hightower only difference between him and others, he insisted, was that the law criminalized his business while legalizing the criminality of so-called “legitimate” businessmen.

Of course, big business bosses today would find their comparison to mob bosses distasteful. Yet it’s not that far from a true fit for many of their corporate “enterprises.” After all, we regularly see shameless racketeering schemes from the establishment peers of Wall Street, Big Oil, Big Food, etc.

Then there are the Big Pharma wiseguys.

Their business model is based on legalized price gouging.

On February 10, for example, Valeant Pharmaceuticals stunned heart patients, doctors, and hospitals by suddenly jacking up the price of two essential life-saving heart drugs.

Valeant tripled the price of a single vial of Nitropress, from $260 to more than $800, while sextupling the price of Isuprel from $215 a vial to over $1,300.

Had the drugmaker improved the medicines? No, they were exactly the same formulations as before.

The only thing that changed was ownership: Valeant had bought the rights to the medications from another company on the very day if its announcement. It arbitrarily used its monopoly control to exact a rip-off price from those who have no choice but to pay it.

A spokeswoman for Valeant was unrepentant: “Our duty is to our shareholders and to maximize the value” of their investments, she declared.

By “duty,” the lady from Valeant didn’t mean a moral duty, but a “duty” manufactured by corporate lawyers and lobbyists to extract profits from vulnerable people.

Al Capone would approve of that business model.

After the outbreak of World War II, he was assigned to perform Civilian Public Service (CPS) at various locations throughout the country until shortly after the end of the war, when he resumed his college education at Penn. During a short Christmas leave in 1943, while serving in CPS, he married Joan Eloise Hammerly, daughter of Lawrence and Lucille Hammerly of Newton, who he had met at Penn College.

FAMILY CIRCUS

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | May 8, 2015

Couple encounters rough seas over gift of cruise vacation DEAR ABBY: I represented my daughter “Stacy” and her husband as their real estate agent. When any of my children purchase a home, I waive my commission. My daughter knew I had been trying to finance a trip to South America for my husband so he could complete his “bucket list.” She gave me a cruise on one of the most expensive cruise lines and airfare to South America as a gift for helping with their home purchase.

After my husband reviewed the itinerary, he said it wasn’t the trip he had in mind and wanted to know if my daughter could change it. I was embarrassed to ask her after receiving such a gracious gift. He became indignant and said if she really wanted to give him something he wanted, she wouldn’t mind changing the trip.

I told Stacy I couldn’t accept her gift because it was too much money. My husband is now angry with me because he feels I am the person at fault for the loss of the trip. Is my husband right that we should request a gift exchange from the giver, or was I justified for not accepting it in light of the fact that it was too much money? — JUST WANTS PEACE DEAR JUST WANTS PEACE: Your husband sounds like a handful.

HE was at fault. Your mistake was allowing him to put you in the middle.

I’m sorry you fibbed to your daughter about why you refused her generosity, because the expense had nothing to do with it. Your husband’s ingratitude had everything to do with it. Because the cruise didn’t suit him, HE should have spoken to her and asked if the itinerary could be adjusted. That way nothing could have been lost in translation, and he might have gotten his wish.

DEAR ABBY: During WWII, while I was overseas in the Navy, I received a “Dear John” letter. It was

devastating, especially because I was so far away and unable to immediately respond. Do you think it is appropriate for a person to send such a letter while the person is far away, especially while in the service, or should the person wait until the service member returns home and say it’s over face-to-face?

After all these years, I have heard many pros and cons about this question. I can think of no one else with such a wealth of knowledge in this area to ask but you. After hearing from you, I will finally put this to rest. — JOHN IN VINELAND, N.J. DEAR JOHN: A decade ago I would have said — and DID tell someone — to wait until the person came home. My thinking was the news might demoralize the recipient and distract the person enough to get her/him killed.

I CHANGED MY MIND after hearing from service members stationed in the Middle East who told me I was wrong — that it’s better to get the word while there were buddies close by who could be emotionally supportive. They suggested that if the service member hears the news when he gets back — alone and possibly traumatized by what he or she has been through — that it could make the person more vulnerable to suicide.

College newspaper sues administration MUSCATINE — Muscatine Community College has been sued by current and former student staffers of the school’s newspaper on accusations of violating free speech.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday, says the paper and the college have had issues over various articles. Jim Compton, a staff member and the newspaper’s adviser, was replaced with an instructor who will only work part-time with the paper. The lawsuit claims having a part-time adviser is the school’s way of indirectly censoring the paper.

Lawmakers looking to make education funding deal

Branstad signs address confidentiality program for victims DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad has signed a bill into law that will allow victims of domestic abuse and other crimes to keep their home address private through a mail-forwarding program.

Branstad signed the bill Thursday. It takes effect in January.

The law will allow victims of domestic abuse and other crimes to have their mail sent to an address managed by the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office.

The Associated Press DES MOINES — Iowa legislative leaders met privately Thursday in an effort to find a compromise on the budget for the next fiscal year.

Lawmakers in the Republican-led House and Democratic-majority Senate are trying to determine an overall spending level, as well as find consensus on education funding, which has been a key sticking point in the budget process. A compromise deal could include a budget increase in basic aid for K-12 schools, as well as a one-time payment.

Senate President Pam Jochum, a Democrat from Dubuque, said after the meeting that they had made some progress, but not reached an overall agreement yet and would meet again next week. She said that adjourning next week would be “rather challenging.”

Legislators must resolve the budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1 before they can conclude the session; daily expense payments for lawmakers ended May 1. Budget bills are moving through the legislative process and should be negotiated in joint committees next week.

Rep. Chuck Soderberg, a Republican from Le Mars who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, declined to discuss details of the ongoing negotiations.

“I think anytime we’re here, we’re making progress in the process. Discussion is good, and that’s kind of where we’re at,” he said.

The major sticking point this year has been how much money is available to spend.

Senate Democrats and Gov. Terry Branstad support using some surplus money to balance the budget, but House Republicans say the state should not spend more than the projected revenue for the coming fiscal year.

Alex Olp/Jasper County Tribune American Legion members Lawrence Halter and Greg Christianson stand next to a soldier statue at Baxter’s veterans memorial on Main Street.

$35,000 expansion to veterans memorial nearly complete

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune BAXTER — The $35,000 expansion to Baxter’s veterans memorial on Main Street is expected to be completed by mid-summer with more bricks and more lights.

The expansion is led by the Baxter American Legion Post 493. A fourphase expansion has so far included a pair of 1,300 pound concrete soldier statues and two additional walls — 125 bricks each.

The bricks will be installed this summer.

Eighty-five new names of military men and women will be added to the memorial, leaving 165 empty slots.

“We’ll have a bunch of blank ones for the future, and that’s what we wanted so we didn’t have to add on again,” Baxter American Legion member and Vietnam-era veteran Greg Christianson said.

Two flag poles will also be placed in upcoming months on each side of the already existing flag.

Lights will then shine on each of the statues and flags.

Christianson has been in charge of the expansion since talks about it began three years ago. The final phase upgrade includes the addition of a howitzer cannon, but because of the country’s involvement in current wars, it might take a few years until Baxter receives the cannon from

the U.S. government.

However, Christianson has hopes it might be sooner rather than later.

“We have the paperwork in for that and as they’re pulling people out of Afghanistan, it’s more and more likely we will get one.”

The cannon would be placed along the right side of the memorial near the intersection of Main Street and Station Street.

The expansion was an expensive one, but donations and fundraising made the upgrades possible.

The Legion received $35,000 in donations from a mass mailing to community households, which allowed people a chance to buy a brick for $75. Fundraising dinners have also covered a large portion of the cost.

In addition, Baxter residents Pat and Carmen Milligan donated $14,000. That and many other generous donations from community members helped fuel this project.

The Baxter Garden Club has shown interest in contributing to the memorial by offering to plant flowers around the statues, which would be a horseshoe shape plot around the pillars the statues stand on.

“We’d like to get it so it looks like these soldiers are walking through the grass,” Christianson said. “Another reason is

f o r wa rd ed to the v i c t i m’s home address. The system allows victims to keep their Fisher home address confidential from an abuser or potential abuser.

Rep. Dean Fisher, a Republican from Garwin, sponsored the bill.

“I think it’s wonderful,” Halter said. “We aren’t a big town, and a lot of little towns don’t have anything. This is quite a bit. I like it.”

This summer, after the flagpoles are installed and the new bricks are placed in the walls, Christianson said the Baxter American Legion wants to plan a celebration to thank the community for making the expansion possible.

Newton girls dominate Cardinal Relays

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Newton girls track and field coach Rachel Tomas admitted Thursday that everything Grace Coen does from here on out is to build for what is expected to be a strong finish to the season.

There are high expectations for the junior and three wins at the Cardinal Relays put her on a the right path toward meeting those expectations.

Coen won the 400-, 1,500- and 3,000-meter runs to lead Newton to a dominating effort at H.A. Lynn Stadium. The Cardinals won 10 events in all and had 19 topthree performances in winning the team title with 194 points.

Leela Spencer anchored the winning 4x100 relay team and grabbed the gold in the 100 meters, Morgann Eide anchored the winning shuttle hurdle relay team and won the 100 hurdles and Sarah Kalkhoff set a new Cardinal Relays record with a win in the discus.

Hailey Coy also won the 800 and Sydney Jenkins was victorious in the 200.

“We had an amazing night,” Tomas said. “We won every individual race on the track except the 400 hurdles. We had lots of girls step up tonight.”

CMB boys roll to Cardinal Relays win Newton’s Harris sets Relays 110 high hurdle record

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Celebrating a win at home is Newton High senior Christian Laube as he approaches the finish line in the 1,600-meter run. Laube claimed a 2015 Cardinal Relays’ championship in his final home track meet for Newton.

Letting out a yell a few steps from the finish line, Newton High senior Christian Laube won his race in front of the home crowd on Senior Night at the 2015 Cardinal Relays.

Laube made his move to the front with 200 meters remaining in the 1,600-meter race, passing Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Mark Deutsch.

“I just figured out how to run my race my senior year after so long,” Laube said following his victory at H.A. Lynn Stadium Thursday night.

“I’ve been dropping time in this race the past few weeks. My idea going into it was to draft off him (Deutsch) then crank it up the last 200 meters.”

Laube said the Newton coaches had worked hard with him this season to help him improve his times.

“I was hoping that kick was enough for me and it turns out it was tonight. It feels great to win at home.

I wanted to show our fans this senior’s still got some kick left.”

Laube is the 1,600 Cardinal Relays champion in 4 minutes, 45.84 seconds.

Deutsch was second in 4:49.11. Deutsch won the other two distance races — 3,200 and 800 — to help CMB’s Raiders overpower the other seven teams competing and capture the

2015 Cardinal Relays team championship.

“I knew the guys I was going to have to run against in the 3,200. I just wanted to go out, set the pace early and see who wanted to go with me,” Deutsch said. “It was a good race and I was really in control out in front by myself.”

Deutsch claimed the 3,200 win with a time of 10:36.28. Prairie City-Monroe’s senior Maverick McAtee was second in 10:59.70 and junior Canyon Kuhlmann of Lynnville-Sully ran third in 11:12.02.

“I think the 3,200 caught up with me in the last 200 of this race (1,600), but I’m still happy with where I ran it. I have one more event tonight,” Deutsch said.

That event was the 800 meters in which in 2:05.53 with teammate sophomore Creighton Caple in third at 2:13.67. Laube finished third in 2:3.96.

CMB won nine events, scoring points in all 18 events. The Raiders rolled up 199 points with Newton in a distant second with 91 points. Newton won four events. Lynnville-Sully was third with 61 points followed by PCM with 59 and Colfax-Mingo with 50.

North Mahaska finished sixth with 43 points.

Pleasantville scored 37 and Southeast Warren ended up with 18 points.

Sweep: Crawford, Blackhawks advance with 4-3 win over Wild ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Corey Crawford made 34 saves, Patrick Kane had a goal and an assist, and the Chicago Blackhawks advanced to the Western Conference finals with a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night for a four-game sweep.

The Wild never led in the series. Goals by Jared Spurgeon and Nino Niederreiter with 2:18 and 1:27 left gave them one last shot, with their net emptied. The final few whacks were either wide or turned aside by Crawford, who stopped 124 of 131 shots in the four games.

Brent Seabrook and Andrew Shaw scored for the Blackhawks, who were down to five defensemen after a serious injury to veteran Michal Roszival. Marian Hossa had a long empty-netter, and Jonathan Toews and Bryan Bickell had two assists apiece.

Chicago eliminated Minnesota from the playoffs for the

third straight year. It won 12 of the 15 games.

It was the first sweep by the Blackhawks since the Western Conference finals in 2010 against San Jose. They improved to 30-0, including 5-0 in this postseason, when leading after two periods.

Devan Dubnyk made 21 saves for the Wild.

The Blackhawks have scored 12 times in the first period in 10 games this postseason, the key to keeping a firm grip on this series from start to finish.

Their defense in the neutral zone has been as stingy as ever, able to force a turnover and spring their speedy attackers on the rush at just the right moments, and getting that first goal has given them more reason to hang back in protection of the lead and wait for mistakes they can pounce on.

The Blackhawks improved to 5-1 when scoring first in the playoffs this year.

Seabrook, one of their most offensively gifted defensemen, controlled a cross-ice pass

by Bickell with his skate and stayed in stride to shoot from behind the circle as he eluded Kyle Brodziak’s back-check attempt. The puck skipped off Wild defenseman Marco Scandella’s shin and into the upper corner of the net on Dubnyk’s stick side.

Toews took the game’s first penalty, hooking early in the second period, and the Wild narrowly missed three prime chances to score on the power play, with defenseman Matt Dumba and center Mikael Granlund taking the place of struggling wings Jason Pominville and Thomas Vanek on the first unit.

As soon as Toews left the box, he picked up the puck and threaded a perfect pass to a streaking Marcus Kruger, who drew a hooking penalty on Nino Niederreiter. Then the Blackhawks scored on their

power play, when Wild defenseman Nate Prosser tried to trap a loose puck underneath his leg but Shaw found it and knocked it between Dubnyk’s pads.

Vanek was dropped down to the third line, the most notable switch in a mild shuffle by coach Mike Yeo, along with Charlie Coyle moving to the wing on the first line and Prosser taking the place of Jordan Leopold.

Yeo spoke of the importance of the Wild not straying from their structure and playing panicky despite the scoring slump, but he had to try something different.

Vanek had a breakaway when Rozsival lost his balance and fell backward while badly injuring his left leg, but Crawford went with Vanek’s deke to his backhand and brushed the shot aside with his blocker.

Rozsival was helped off the ice, his left leg hanging limp without any weight on it.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The first thing Ned Yost asked Clint Bowyer when the Royals manager called the NASCAR driver into his office Wednesday night was for some much-needed help with his lineup.

His fantasy racing lineup.

Bowyer pointed out that Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick have been dominating on the 1 1/2-mile tracks lately, and Jeff Gordon always runs well at Kansas Speedway. But Bowyer must not have made a case for himself for Saturday night’s Sprint Cup race just across the state line.

“He’s on my bench,” Yost said with a grin.

Bowyer, who grew up in nearby Emporia, Kansas, made his way to Kauffman Stadium as a guest of the Royals for their game against the Cleveland Indians.

Along with pulling on a complete uniform — No. 15, of course — he took batting practice and shagged fly balls before the game.

With an inside-out swing that looked like someone chopping wood, Bowyer managed a couple of lazy pop-ups toward first base during his turns in the batting cage.

Bowyer is an ardent fan of all things Kansas City, but especially of the Royals.

Girls

4x800 relay win was Dakota Hostetter’s third-place tally in the 1,500 and the distance medley relay team of Kennedi Hostetter, Jessica Albright, Ries Wilson and Moore and they finished in 4:54.53.

Continued from Page 1B “Our girls competed well tonight,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “We used this meet to try to run some decent relay times to start to get ready for conference and regionals. We didn’t score as many points as we could have but it would have been tough to catch 4A Newton anyway.”

PCM triumphed in the 4x200 and 4x400 relay. Jayci Vos and Ashley Van Gorp were a part of both silver-medal performances. They teamed up with Emily Hugen and Mackenzie Clarke to win the 4x200 and Rachel Stafford and Rachel Peter joined them to win the 4x400.

“Tonight, we had girls doing some things they hadn’t done before, and they stepped up nicely,” PCM coach Bridget Martin said. “We are trying to make final decisions for conference and districts. The Cardinal Relays is always a fun meet to run in, but now we have to shift our focus to the two biggest meets of the year.”

Shelby Davis got the only win of the night for Lynnville-Sully, but the Hawks were second in two relays and Elizabeth Van Manen was runner-up in the discus. Davis won the high jump.

Colfax-Mingo got a win from its 4x800 relay team.

That foursome included Ivy Moore, Kennedi Hostetter, Dakota Hostetter and Bailey Pease and they ran a season-best time of 10 minutes, 35.29 seconds.

“I was very proud of the girls and their efforts tonight,” Colfax-Mingo coach Zach Tomas said. “The time for the 4x800 was a 23-second season best since I have been coaching.”

Coen won the 400 in

CMB’s Toni Spencer also was second in the 100 in 13.53 and the shuttle hurdle relay team of Sailor Hinegardner, Mary Schabillion, Brianda Bane and Sydney Zeisman was second in 1:14.21.

PCM’s Peter finished second to Coen in both the 1,500 and 3,000. The 4x100 team of Vos, Hugen, Van Gorp and Clarke were second in 52.04 and the distance medley relay team of Clarke. Hugen, Van Gorp and Stafford ended up second in 4:26.56.

Lynnville-Sully’s Davis won the high jump in 5-0 and Van Manen’s runner-up throw in the discus covered 110-10. The Hawks’ sprint medley and 4x800 relay teams were also second.

The 4x800 team included Mariah Vos, Cori Rice, Marissa Vos and Haley James and they finished in 11:03.11.

The sprint medley foursome included Kasiah Ehresman, Rozendaal, Brenna Lanser and Madison Rasmussen and they ran a 1:55.32.

The best finish for Colfax-Mingo after the winning

ton Weltha and Patrick Girard claimed championships in the discus and shot put, respectively.

Weltha’s winning throw in the discus was 145 feet and he was fourth in the shot put. Girard won the shot put at 51-5 and was fifth in the discus.

The Raiders won the 4x100 relay race, edging PCM out — 47.36 seconds to 47.39 seconds.

Lynnville-Sully was third at 48.10. CMB’s 4x400 relay foursome beat Colfax-Mingo’s in a close race to close the meet — 3:37.11 to 3:38.88. CMB placed second in the 4x200 and the 4x800 relay races.

Colfax-Mingo’s juniors Jake Lietz and Gabe Simpson ran personal-best times to go 1-2 in the 400 meters. Lietz won the race in 52.05 seconds for his fifth straight win in the event his season. Simpson was second at 52.27.

“We train a lot on 400s during the week. We have a thing called a gut-buster that really trains you for 400s,” Lietz said. “Unfortunately, Blake (Summy) hurt his hamstring in the long jump tonight and couldn’t run with us.

We were hoping for a 1-2-3 finish, but 1-2 is great for us.”

Summy, a junior, finished fourth in the long jump with a leap of 18-10 while Lourens was second at 19-9.75, which was a personal best for him.

PCM had one event champion at the Cardinal Relays. Koder won a tiebreaker with CMB junior Hunter Gunderson in the high jump. Both cleared the bar at 6-2. PCM freshmen Ricky Reeve and Tyler Dredge finished fifth and sixth in the long jump and senior Connor Warrick was sixth in the shot put.

In a race with hurdles flying at the end, Harris made it three-for-three, winning in a new Cardinal Relays’ record time of 14.67 seconds and Kemp posting a time of 14.78 seconds.

“I knew I was going to have to run hard to keep him off me tonight,” Harris said. “Bryce is a great hurdler. I just had to get out strong, and I felt him pressing me the whole time. I focused on my race, but we kept smacking hands as we ran next to each other.”

In the high hurdles’ race, PCM’s freshman Skyler Koder took third in 16.23 followed by Newton senior J.T. Thongvanh in 16.38 and CMB senior Joey Nissen in fifth at 16.76.

“We started out running the relay in 1:06 or 1:07 and now we’re down to 1:01. We’re improving,” Harris said of the shuttle relay team, which includes Thongvanh.

Kemp led the Raiders with wins in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes in 11.66 seconds and 23.89 seconds. He won the long jump with a leap of 20 feet, 6 inches with CMB junior Brady Stover taking third in the event at 18-10.

Astrograph

When the messenger planet slows down before going retrograde, it’s said that Mercury enters its “storm” period, which is where we are now until Monday, when Mercury will go retrograde. The next three days are lucky for wrapping up projects, tying loose ends and finalizing deals. New ventures aren’t favored and will likely get off to a slow start.

Gemini and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 28, 12 and 30.

difference in getting you on a track toward your dreams.
